SYSTEMS FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL
Allen asked the question with regard to what he had been thinking of; he wanted to know why the system had just chosen him to be the holder of the power.System: You were given the power because you were the sole owner of it.The power of the system has been embedded in the system for about three hundred years now and was in a necklace. We only needed someone to activate it.The necklace was with you, and it activated.That day, the activation was done, it was your blood that was on the necklace that activated the system.Allen heard the system say.He was quite shocked, and with his hand, he touched the necklace on his neck.Allen was surprised to the core.So it only meant he was still walking because of the necklace.Allen heaved a sigh.The necklace was given to him by his late grandmother.The necklace was actually meant for his mother, but because her mother at that time was busy on the streets, getting herself messed up on drugs.Allen was the only one close to his grandmother at that time, and that was the reason why his grandmother handed it over to him.Allen had received the necklace from his grandmother without much appreciation, knowing that the necklace was worthless, however, because of his grandmother’s last words, he always placed it around his neck.Allen touched the necklace around his neck and looked at it.He was really surprised that such a “worthless” necklace contained such power.Allen realized that the necklace was his power. That could only mean that if he took the necklace from around his neck, the system was going to be deactivated for him.Allen realized where his power was coming from, and for a moment, something occurred to him.’If the system was activated and he did not want to go through that mission, he could take the necklace off him, and he would not have to go through any punishment.Before he could say that out loud, the system came in again.SYSTEM: The system is always activated when there are missions that are within your power.When the system is activated, the necklace cannot be taken off your neck, and you cannot abort the mission by yourself.The system is capable of relieving you of all your pain when the mission starts, which is why you do not feel any pain when you are hit during a mission. You will recover when the mission is completed.The system was explained.Allen now understood the system better.He crossed the road and headed for the pharmacy. As he was about to enter the pharmacy, he noticed three boys standing a few meters away from the end of the pharmacy, but he ignored them and walked into the pharmacy.Allen showed the prescription to the pharmacist and was soon given the drugs. He paid for it and thanked the pharmacist.As soon as he turned around to leave, the system beeped.System; mission found.In two minutes, three thugs will attack the pharmacist. Trash the thugs and humiliate them.Mission reward: ten thousand dollars.Allen heard the system say.He realized that the men were definitely the ones who were going to come.Figuring out that he was done with his business there, he had no reason to stay in the pharmacy for the next two minutes.“Excuse me, do you have a washroom here I can use?” Allen asked the pharmacist.“Well yes, please take the door on your right here." The pharmacist said that and pointed in the direction of the door.The door was behind the counter and was not visible from the front.Allen dropped his drugs on the counter and entered the washroom.He heaved a sigh and waited for a while, waiting to hear the sound of the robbers in the pharmacy.Allen looked at the bandage on his shoulder. It was as though he was no longer in pain, as he could not feel the pain.Allen wondered for how long he was going to be using this system.He waited calmly and patiently until he heard a commotion in the pharmacy.“Get me all the money in the cash register now!” Allen heard the scream from the inside of the pharmacy.He knew the robbers were in, and he was supposed to go in at that moment.Allen breathed in heavily.He slowly opened the door and peered to see what was going on in there.He realized that all three men had knives, and none of them held a gun.Allen flung the door open and walked out.The way he flung the door caused panic among the robbers.One of them turned to him with the knife.“Stop there and don't make a sound." One of the robbers said this, and he pointed the knife at him.Allen did not stop, he kept walking slowly towards the man.“I said stop now!” The man ordered.Allen did not mind and kept walking towards him.He took a quick glance at all the men.One of them was watching the gate for anyone coming in.The second was standing with the pharmacist, asking him to take out all of the money at the cash register and hand it over to him.Then, the third was standing right in front of him with the knife, threatening him to stop moving.Allen thought of what he could do to save the situation.If he fought with the men in front of him, it was only going to escalate the situation, as the pharmacist was going to be taken hostage.If he stopped walking as he had been ordered, he was going to be a bit late in his movement, and that was also not good for him at that moment.He thought of what to do as he walked slowly to the man who was still threatening him to stop at that moment.“I said, Stop now before I slit a knife in your throat." The man threatened Allen once again with the knife in his hand.USER LEVELLED UP Allen, after calculating his plan in a few microseconds, quickly rushed towards the unsuspecting man and dodged his knife by an inch. He gave the man an uppercut that sent him flying off the ground. The second robber who was taking the money from the pharmacist saw that, and before he could do anything, Allen was already in front of him. The man shook in fear as Allen held his hand firmly and took the knife from him in an instant. The man at the gate rushed towards them, but he was a bit late. Allen already had the man and a knife placed in his throat. “Drop the knife or I'll kill him,” Allen threatened the third man. The man raised his hand in the air with the knife, trying to save his colleague. The first man to receive the punch stood up from the floor. He had also seen the scene. “Drop all the money on the ground,” Allen whispered into the ears of the man he was holding hostage. The man obeyed immediately and dropped all the money on the floor. The thir
EFFECT OF THE SYSTEM Allen walked away and made his way to his workplace For the first time in a long while, Allen felt good about himself. The very thought of having such an amount of money in his bank account was enough to make him happy for the rest of his life. To top all of this, he still had a system that enabled him to fight injustice and crime and paid him after that Within a period of less than thirty-six hours, a lot had happened, and it all felt like a dream to him. It was as though he was in some kind of fairy tale. A whole lot of thoughts were going on in his mind as he made his way ahead. “Does everyone have this kind of system that makes them strong and rich? Or is it only me? Is it that all rich people have this kind of system? Where do all these systems come from, and how did he choose me? Why did it even choose me?. How come I never had this thing before now? Does this system have consequences?” All these questions rummaged through Allen’s mind as he walk
SPILL THE BEANSAs Allen worked through the night with his master, he was deep in thought.He thought of the fact that the system was going to activate while he was still there.All through the evening, he thought about what he was going to do to keep his own identity and the system’s identity apart.He was very quiet that night, and that did not go unnoticed by his master.Every time Roland asked about it, he would just say he was thinking about his current banter with Jacob and his boys.It was getting dark, and the father and son were getting ready to begin with their sales.Allen worked silently with a lot going on in his mind.The hoot of the evening train was heard from far away heading towards them at top speed.“ Are you ready, Allen?” Roland asked Alen as they got ready.“ Yes, we are set,” Allen replied.The two of them sold three different types of foods, hamburgers, nachos, and hotdogs.These three Foods were very popular in their area and highly patronized by the people wh
USER DECLINEDAlthough he maintained a calm face and a good composure as he worked, he was deep down, very scared and wondering what was going to happen next to him.At this point, he felt very uneasy knowing that something was going to happen yet not knowing what exactly was going to happen to him.Allen said a word of prayer silently within him.SYSTEM: Mission failed, User Declined. Reward aborted. Punishment follows immediately.Allen heard that from the system, and his heart skipped a beat.Now, he was certainly going to be punished. In the midst of all of these people, and in the presence of Roland.Allen paused what he was doing, knowing very well that in a few seconds, something bad was going to happen to him.He gritted his teeth and remained steady for what was going to happen next.SYSTEM PUNISHMENT Allen wondered what punishment he was going to receive from the system this time as he waited for the worst.Within a few seconds, he felt a tingly feeling in his waist, followi
SPILL THE BEANSAfter Allen had finished his meal. He sat down for a few minutes and then stood up again to join Roland in serving the customers.Immediately he took his stand, Roland turned to look at him.“ Are you okay buddy?” Roland asked in a concerned tone.Allen smiled and nodded, signifying that he could work.Roland only nodded, and Allen went on with the work with a smile on his face. As Allen worked through the night with his master, he was deep in thought.He thought of the fact that the system was going to activate white he was there.All through the night, he thought about what he was going to do to keep his own identity and the system’s identity apart.He was very quiet that night, and that did not go unnoticed by his master.Every time Roland asked about it, he would just say he was thinking about his current banter with Jacob and his boys.Allen, after thinking so much without finding any solution, gave up and retired to bed after they were done with work.While they
SPILL THE SECRET OF THE SYSTEM The system had come to help him, and he could not afford to lose it by spilling it the secret.He did not know what his master was going to do when he heard that. However, he was not ready to take the chances by letting somebody else in on the secret.As he walked, he had a flashback to the very first day after being beaten by Jacob and his boys when he had the system activated.The system is activated. Installation in process” the voice said.Allen could not tell who had that voice, but at that point, he needed not to find out.All he needed was help to get out of the place.“ Somebody help me!” Allen shouted with all the energy left in him before he passed out.…………..The flicker of lights flashed through Allen’s eyes. He opened his eyes slowly and closed them back at the flash of the bright lights.Alen opened his eyes again slowly and looked at the ceiling. It was a place he did not recognise.The pain in his body was still there, and he could feel i
FIRST MISSION FOUNDSYSTEM: System Solution Found. Strength For User Activated. Ready For Mission. Communication with User Established. Allen heard the voice in his head once again.He was now beginning to get worried once again, as that was the third time hearing the voice in his head.“ Who are you, and what do you want from me? Where are you” Allen asked in frustration.SYSTEM; I am a revenge system for righteousness. In your head. You can speak to me anytime you want, but you have to follow my instructions. I will give you tasks to do, and if you are able to do them, you will be rewarded largely.The system replied.Allen was surprised and looked around him to see if anyone else heard the voice he heard.Everyone else was minding their own business, and no one seemed to have heard it.Allen realized he was the only one who was hearing that voice, and that meant that the voice was actually in his head.Allen was still in the town, propelling himself in his wheelchair as he spoke to
USER PUNISHMENTSYSTEM: Mission aborted. User Punished. Current balance: $0Current strength: 60%The permanent solution is being found for the user.“ Who are you?. What do you want from me? Why are you treating me this way” Allen said softly.He was waiting for a reply, but he found none.After laying on the ground for about five minutes, he finally helped himself up, and after minutes of struggling, Allen was finally able to put himself back in the wheelchair. ……..Allen Aden, a twenty-two-year-old young man, and a high school graduate.He lived on the outskirts of the city in an abandoned house.His father was a criminal who was serving his jail term after he was caught in the middle of a robbery.His mother was a drug addict who had also been taken away from him and was at the rehabilitative centre, receiving care.Allen had never seen any of them for about five years.He lived alone in that shelter.Right from when he was growing up, because of his background, his parents never
THE UNSEEN HEROAllen walked out of the room and made his way to the side of the bank that led to the banking hall, tiptoeing. Right before the door, he could see another door by his left, slightly open.Allen gave up his aim of entering the banking hall and entered the open room.He kept tiptoeing in until he heard the sound of someone in there, behind a second door in the room, which was also slightly open.“Hurry up and open this; I don’t have time,” the voice said in a threatening tone.“I am trying. I can’t open it with pressure; i need to take my time to open it else it's going to automatically lock for hours." The second voice replied shakinglyAllen quickly deciphered the voices to be that of a robber and possibly a staff member of the bank.It was evident the robber was trying to get the staff to open the lock to the safe where the money was being kept.He took a silent, deep breath as he walked to the door.“In exactly three seconds, push the door as hard as you can and barg
I WILL BE BACKSystem Defence Activated.System Guide Activated.Allen heard the system say.He heaved a sigh and looked around, trying to think of what he was going to do.He noticed a lane beside the bank that he could pass, and without hesitation, he took the lane.He walked for a few seconds until he got to the back of the bank, where the trash cans were.Allen looked around to ensure nobody was looking at him and then entered.He realized he was out of security coverage and so he dropped his bag.In a minute, he had changed his dress and was now wearing a body fitting long seemed shirt.He wore the mask of the spiderman, and none of his body parts were visible.Allen took out the pistol and the knives and hid it in his costume.“ So what do I do now?” Allen murmured to himself. “ Go through the backdoor and walk in. Take the first door on your right. Enter and stay there for one minute” .Allen obeyed at once and tiptoed to the backdoor. He opened it and entered.It looked like
TIME FOR BIGGER MISSIONSIn the next thirty minutes, Allen found himself in a computer store.He bought a brand new hp G5 laptop with a very high performance, as well as a router.He walked back home with a straight face.Now, he is going to take it as a responsibility to make sure the right thing is being done in the entire city.All he needed to do was register for the online courses and take his lessons seriously, and with the help of the system, he knew he was going to be successful.As Allen walked home, his phone rang.Allen took out the phone and saw the caller.It was betty.He answered the call and placed the phone to his ears.“ Hello Betty,” He called.“ Good morning Allen, how are you doing?” Betty asked over the phone.“ I am doing Good Betty, how are you doing?” Allen replied.“ I am very fine, thank you. Is there any chance we could meet today? I wanted to tell you something” Betty asked.Allen heaved a sigh.It would have been a good thing for him, knowing very well th
TIME TO LEARNAllen connected the dots for himself.The man he had fought with back in the bush, was the same he had encountered a few minutes ago.Allen thought to himself.It was evident that the man belonged to a gang, and the gang operated in the city, committing a whole lot of crimes in the city.Allen wondered who these people were that made them do what they were doing.However, worry soon hit him as he realized that he had always been fighting without any face mask, and just as he had recognised some of them by face, it was very likely for him to be noticed by any of the people too.This could only mean he was in a deep mess and had to watch his back all along.He heaved a sigh and continued fidgeting with his phone, browsing the previous messages he had received while working and on his way here.He realized that he had received some messages from Betty.“ Hi Allen, How are you doing? I tried calling to check on you but our number was unreachable” The message read.Allen heav
THE FAMILIAR TATTOOAllen walked as fast as he could from the scene.He had his backpack tucked firmly on his back and went on his journey.In about five minutes, he got to his house.Immediately he entered his house, he heard the beeping of sirens of the police cars from all directions, passing by the estate.Allen heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the children around could be saved by the police.Although he was not sure whether or not the perpetrators were going to be punished, he kept high hopes that the innocent victims were going to be safe.In the city he was in, it was very easy for the perpetrators to be left alone, especially if they had someone backing them politically or financially.SYSTEM: Mission accomplished, Victims saved, criminals arrested by the police.Mission Reward granted.Allen heard the system say as he walked into the house, and then his phone beeped.Allen secured the door from the inside and went to have a cold shower.He sat down on the couch with his
MAN WITH A WEAPONAllen opened his eyes.The man with the handkerchief stood in front of him, and, surprising enough, he was still at the scene.It now occurred to him that he had just had a deja vu.It looked like he had been into the future and back.He looked at the man who sat in the car, trying to engage him“Okay, I am sorry to bother you but we are headed towards the hospital. A friend of ours is injured in the back, could you help us, please? We just need you to direct us to the hospital,” the man said, feigning a smile and trying all he could to seem nice.Allen nodded.“ Oh yes, I know there, but are you sure someone is wounded?” Allen asked the man, trying to act nice.“ In five seconds, watch out for the action of the handkerchief; it has sedatives and is intended to make you sleep.”Allen heard the voice.It was now evident to him that he had been to the future, as everything was playing out perfectly.His only problem now was that, in the end, he had been shot and died,
SEE INTO THE FUTURE.Allen walked hurriedly to the shop where Roland usually bought the items for work.Luckily, he had gone there on several occasions alone to purchase the items, and so the attendants knew him.Allen got to the subway and began his work for the day. He had arrived quite earlier than usual.He had a whole lot of work to do that day as he was alone, and he had to finish on time in order to be able to meet the demands of his customers.Working alone today seemed really weird for him and he felt uneasy doing everything by himself; however, he was able to do it all alone.The first night of working alone went pretty well on his side, and by a half past 10pm, he was already done selling off all his stuff, and that was the same time they were used to closing.His usual customers who had come and had not seen Roland had taken turns to inquire. why he was not there that day, and he had repeated his response over and over again. “ He travelled to check on some things.”.Allen
SON OF THE SYSTEM, A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN. Allen walked outside and began his journey home.As he walked, he thought about Betty.Betty was a young girl, beautiful and always beaming with smiles.Her communication skills were top notch, and she had an impeccable accent.From Allen's observations, she was very outspoken yet very calm.He could tell from her soft eyes that she was dealing with something silently, especially when she stylishly dismissed the topic about her parents.Allen thought she might have some from a broken home or probably was having problems with her parents.From her demeanour, appearance, lifestyle, and calibre, it was evident her parents were rich, and she was spoiled at a very young age, but still had some morals..Allen noted her way of speech and demeanour.She was just twenty years but acted like a grown woman, which showed that she had gone through some early emotional changes than normal.Allen thought about Betty all the way home.His plans he had planned f
AN EXPENSIVE GIRLBetty looked up and caught Allen staring at him.“ Have you settled on anything?” Betty asked Allen.Allen shook his head in the negative.“ Okay, I think we should settle for a table instead,” Betty said.Allen did not understand what Betty just said, but he acted like he did.Betty turned to the waitress who was waiting for her.“ Give us the second American table here. Everything inclusive” Betty told the waitress.Alen did not know what table, but looking at the second page of the menu, something caught his attention.There was a list of meals compiled together under one category each and a fixed price, with the reading as Table d’hote.Allen looked through it and was surprised. Food there began from a thousand dollars, and what Betty had just requested was a thousand eight hundred dollars.Allen opened his mouth in shock.He slowly closed the menu and gave it back to the waitress who left to prepare their order.“ Excuse me, Betty, but something is not quite rig
