CHAPTER 4

KEEP IT A SECRET

The crowd cheered loudly as Jacob fell on the ground with a loud thud.

Allen walked in between the mess of men he had created and slowly made his way out of the crowd.

The crowd paved the way for him as they cheered him on, and he walked past Them.

Allen adjusted his shirt as he walked through the crowd who cheered him on, while others hooted at Jacob and his men.

As Allen walked away, he felt his heart pounding loudly, but he knew it was not of fear.

The feeling of being able to trash Jacob and four of his men in less than three minutes sent shivers down his spine.

He felt a bit of relief wash over his soul and body and a feeling of satisfaction.

Although he was still not happy, hoping that he could do something more harmful to them for what they had caused.

Allen knew deep within him that he wished he could do something more seriously, just that he wanted to stay out of trouble.

But in the meantime, trashing Jacob and his men was the best thing that could ever happen to him.

He felt some pain in his shoulder where he had received some blows from Jacob's men.

Allen put his hand on it and groaned in pain.

As he walked, he could hear the shouts of the crowd he had just walked away from.

Allen walked hurriedly, trying to get away from the place as fast as he could.

He had a wrinkled smile on his face with mixed emotions.

System: Mission accomplished Successfully.

Reward granted.

System Upgrade in progress.

Allen heard the system say.

He heaved a sigh.

He felt his mobile phone beep in his pocket, and he knew it was the alert of the money being credited to his account.

“ Where do I get my strength from?” Allen asked the system aloud.

He was walking in town but everybody was minding their own business so he was okay talking to himself.

SYSTEM: The system is designed to give you strength as you accomplish your missions. You are currently at the bottom of the rank. You will rise harder after accomplishing more missions.

Allen heaved a sigh.

He felt the pain in his shoulder again, and he grunted.

As Allen walked down the streets thoughtfully, he thought about what he was going to do with the system he now had.

He could not choose missions for himself, but he could only acquire the strength to complete the missions the system provided.

However, he was happy that at least he was not who he used to be.

Allen was quite sure that Jacob and his men were going to wonder what had come over him that made him able to beat them so easily.

Again, he was pretty sure that Jacob and his men were going to come back for revenge on him, and that was going to be the time he had always waited for.

For now, his only happiness was being able to defeat Jacob and his men.

As Allen walked on to his workplace with his hands on his shoulders, he thought of a plan he had taken the previous day. He was in plans to hide his newfound system away from everyone.

However, it was becoming almost impossible for him because everybody knew him to be a meek boy who was always being bullied, therefore, he was sure it was going to be a strange one when he abruptly started beating people easily

Thankfully, his own boss had been teaching him a few tricks in fights the previous day, and that would help him very much in covering up.

However, all of these seemed to him like a temporary solution.

As he walked thinking of what he was going to do, his shoulder began to hurt him even more louder

Allen groaned in pain, not knowing what he was going to do

He knew he was supposed to get a quick first aid for the injury before the case worsened.

A healthcare facility was nearby, and without a second thought, he changed his route and headed towards the facility.

Allen wondered why he had not felt such pain when he was hit but was feeling its severity afterwards.

“ Maybe the strength of the system overcomes the pain of anything,” Allen thought to himself.

He walked into the health centre, still holding his shoulder with a squeezed face.

The man at the counter saw him holding his shoulder in pain and quickly went over to help him.

Allen went with him to a ward where he was taken care of.

After they had helped him and the pain had subsided, he heaved a sigh.

“ Please, what was the cause of the pain?” Allen asked the young man who attended to him.

“ Oh, it was a subluxation of your shoulder joint. Did you get into a fight?” The man asked in return.

Allen simply nodded and bowed his head to avoid the man’s face.

“ I think you should try as much as you can to avoid fights. The bandage on your hand should last for about three days, after which you should come back so we can assess it.

You should not be involved in any serious work that will involve the use of your hands for the period, or it might affect the healing process” the man told Allen.

Allen only nodded.

Deep down in him, he was thinking.

If the system activated any moment within those days of injury, that meant he would have to fight with the injury, and if he decided to ignore the system, he was going to be punished for that, and as far as he was concerned, it was better to fight with an injury than to be punished by the system.

The man prescribed some drugs for him, instructing him to get them from the pharmacy that was right opposite the health facility.

Allen had to pay for the services, and thankfully, he had no problem in making the payment because of the money he had received from the system as a reward for all the missions he had accomplished.

Allen walked out of the facility with the prescription in his hands, heading towards the pharmacy.

SYSTEM: System upgrade is done.

Last mission for user levelling.

Allen heard but did not understand, but that was not a problem for him for at that moment.

He had more important things to ask the system at that moment

He had a question for the system at that moment.

“ Why did you choose me for power??” Allen asked the system.
