2024-02-28 15:30:05EFFECT 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 walked on the road.
Although some of the questions had been answered by the system before, Allen was not convinced about them and still needed clearer explanations, but he kept them to himself.
Then again, the reality of the fact that he was no longer going to be able to enjoy his scholarship hit him, and that changed his mood at once.
He was now sure he was never going to get into the university because of the admission acceptance letter he had lost to Jacob.
Although it was a sad moment for him, Allen worried no more.
He had now had enough strength to take revenge anytime he met Jacob and his boys like he had done today.
Again, he was getting money for fighting every day, and he was sure that the money was going to help him a lot.
Maybe he was going to be able to set up his own business and manage it and make sure it was running smoothly, and then he could go to school when he had his own money.
Allen walked for thirty minutes until he got to his workplace, right at the subway station.
His master, Mr. Roland, who preferred being called Roland, was already at work and was setting up the shed for the evening.
He greeted Roland politely.
Roland noticed the bandage on his shoulder and the bag in his hands with the pharmacy's logo on it and did not hesitate to ask.
“Did you get into a fight again?” Roland asked.
Allen nodded in the affirmative.
“You have been getting in trouble lately, what is the problem?” Roland asked him as he paused his work to face him.
“It was a fight with Jacob and his boys again. This time, I was able to fight back. Your training was useful. I won though, just that I got a blow on my shoulder,” Allen replied and feigned a smile.
Roland's eyes widened in disbelief.
“You won?” He asked as if he had not heard what Allen said.
Allen only nodded and set to work.
“What is really going on between you and those boys? You got into a fight just two days ago, and today you met him again. What is really happening?” Roland asked Allen.
Allen breathed in heavily.
“I don't really know. I just continue to feel it for losing my scholarship because of him, and even because of that, Jasmine has left me. I tried calling her yesterday, but it was obvious my number had been blocked.
I have not been myself for these two days.
On my way here, I saw him with three of his boys beating up a young guy.
I don't know what came over me, but I intervened and got into a fight with them.
Jacob himself is injured,” Allen explained.
Roland just listened without saying anything for a while.
“I think it's because of your earlier confrontation with them.
I understand you perfectly.
The sad aspect is that these boys go scot-free with everything they do because they have rich parents and families who help them out when they get into trouble.
You are aware of the condition of this city.
Nobody cares, even the people who are supposed to protect us are working against us. You just have to be careful.
If you keep getting into a fight with Jacob and his men, they might get some more people to come after you, and they are going to make your stay in this city a terrible one. I bet you don't want that, because you can't bear it." Roland advised Allen.
“I understand, but sometimes it's hard.
You know I have been in the same school with them, and I have been bullied by them for the entire time.
They always get away with it, and it's always as if there is no help anywhere.
Something needs to be done about this.
The innocent people of the city are suffering every day because of people like him, and it's not fair.” Allen complained.
“I am sure you know better than that.
You know how the system works.
Even the city mayor has thugs who do such work for him.
This city is more or less like a lion's den.
You have to disguise yourself as a lion and behave like them in order to survive in the lion's den too
The drug peddlers are all working for the mayor.
The vigilante group and all those thugs work for him.
He has turned this place upside down for the benefit of himself and his rich friends and colleagues.
You have to tread with caution every time, especially when you are involved in a serious banter with them, they are not going to stop until they hurt or kill you,” Roland said.
“I know, right? I think I can still use a few of your skills if you keep teaching me. I will follow you home tomorrow for lessons,” Allen said.
Roland only nodded.
“Let's finish up quickly. The customers will start trooping in soon.” Roland said as he continued his work.
Allen nodded and continued.
He realized that Roland was making sense.
However, he believed that with the secret system he now had, nobody could defeat him in a fight anymore, especially if the system directed him for that particular fight.

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.

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

SOLDIER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS Allen kept pinning the man down with all of his requests. The victim came with a small rope and helped Allen tie the man’s hand. Allen stood up from the man who was tied down, now leading to his release. As Allen looked around, he saw that people had gathered around and were looking at them with eagerness. “Thank you very much, sir, for helping me. I am very grateful for your help.” The victim thanked Allen. “Please call the police to help you take him away,” Allen said, dropping the knife on the ground. He walked away. As he walked away, Allen realised that something was wrong with him at that moment. He looked around him, wondering what was wrong with him, as he walked to his house. As soon as he entered his house, he realised what was wrong with him. He had confronted all the men with some unknown force and no fear and defeated two men with knives, which was very unlikely of him to stand up for himself or for someone. Above it all, He was walkin

THE WORKPLACE Allen had been through life long enough to understand that people hated progress and freedom and he was going to do anything to protect what he had gotten now. Glancing at the old world clock on his wall, Allen realised that he had over one hour left to get to the workplace, and the journey to the workplace was about thirty minutes. He began tidying up the place before he left. Allen lived in a small, old, wretched house on the outskirts of the city. The house belonged to his parents, and that was where he had grown up with them until his mother was taken to the rehabilitation centre and his father was jailed. Since then, Allen has continued to stay in this house without any hope of moving out or relocating to anywhere else. Living in a house alone, he had no money to maintain the house or do renovations, so the house looked like there was no one there. Almost half of the building had already collapsed and Allen had used old bricks and Woods to patch them up. He

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

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

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
