Five

[You have gained a new skill 'Weapon Attunition lv.1']

> This skill enables you to be able to attune to any weapon within your hands.

> You can use this skill once a day.

"Wow, I got a skill"

At this point Aiden was not even doubtful anymore. His hopes began to rise as he considered that truly he might be able to get money from the system and save his grandmother.

"Can you really help me save my grandmother?"

Aiden's voice shook with sincerity as he asked the system again.

[Certainly]

Short and precise but those words gleamed with confidence.

"Okay... so let's start"

[First Side Quest has been generated]

> Save a girl along the alley of the street that leads to your apartment.

> Quest reward: +2 blue cards, +2 green card, +1 white cards, +10 stat points.

> Quest failure: 4 hours paralysis.

"Ah!"

Aiden unintendedly shouted as he saw the quest failure. Surely this system does not give room for failure.

[This quest has a time limit]

[Your time is counting]

[0:02:59:57]

Aiden sprinted out of the door, not waiting to bid his grandfather farewell he ran through the E.R and into the lobby, heading straight to the door and with  the little cash he had, he took a taxi straight to his house.

Just as he walked down his street in haste looking left and right foe where the girl might be, he heard a loud scream.

Following the scream Aiden ran towards his right– he ran past a closed and narrow alley before he suddenly reversed his steps and there they were.

Three guys were talking to a girl who seemed like she didn't want to be talked to.

All four of them were on school uniforms. Aiden didn't need an extra confirmation.

"Hey! What are you doing there?!"

Aiden shouted forcing an intimidating tone out of his vocal cords.

The boys turned to him and chuckled.

"Will you look at this old man."

The one on tinted hair said, raising his chin and staring down at Aiden with his hands in his pocket.

"What are you going to do? Whoop our asses."

"Yes. I will do just that."

Aiden said and looked at the girl, whom with the slight chance she got ran to his back.

"Let's do this."

Aiden tightened his fist and raised them to his jaw length as he got ready to–

pow

He didn't see it coming, the teenager's punch was heavy and as he staggered back he began to bleed through his nostrils.

[You have received 101 bleeding damage]

'Shit... he can fight'

pow!

The boy's knee delved into Aiden's stomach who in response curled down holding his stomach in pain. The boy raising his leg straight into the air like a karate expert slammed a kick on Aiden's back.

"Woo wooo that is Martin Roy for you. He is a fucking black belt bro, you think you can fight that?"

His other peers hyped his as he stood with the might of victory. Aiden enduring the pain was about to stand when he noticed a broken rod next to his hand where he had fallen.

'The skill I got, it said any weapon right...'

With this hypothesis and unsure of what will happen the moment he stands, Aiden grabbed the rod and stood up, holding it with both of his hands.

The two teenagers behind the tinted hair guy who had dealt with Aiden began to laugh outrageously.

"Will you look at this old man?!"

"You think you can win against Martin Roy with a weapon huh. It is useless!"

He shouted with a hard giggle.

'Tch, something about him is different.'

He couldn't put his fingers around what exactly it was but the air round Aiden changed for some reasons.

He shook his head– shaming off the thought and lunged at Aiden, but he quickly dodged and struck back with a swift blow to the guy's leg. The guy stumbled and fell to the ground, clutching his injured leg.

"Eh?"

The others were shocked, it had happened so fast that they didn't get what exactly went down. All they knew was that their prideful karate kid was on the ground clutching his injured leg with a painful countenance.

The two guys rushed in to attack, but Aiden was ready. He blocked their blows with his rod and counterattacked with lightning-fast strikes, hitting them on the arms and legs, leaving them temporarily incapacitated and unable to continue fighting.

The fight was intense and lasted for several minutes. Aiden was outnumbered, but he held his ground, using his newfound skill to outmaneuver and overpower the teenagers. In the end, Aiden emerged victorious, leaving the young guys stunned and defeated. He walked out of the alley with the girl– while the guys were on the ground writhing in pain from several parts of their body.

Aiden put the girl into a taxi and wished her a safe journey home. His slips curved brightly as the system new message appeared.

Aiden was about to respond yes when he looked around and saw that the environment was kind of open. He needed to have his space to himself. With his house not being too far from home, he ran home happily, opened the door with a rush and finally ran into his room.

Aiden's eyes widened as he could see the cash occupying three different slot,  hundred dollars, hundred dollars and one thousand dollars and ten thousand dollars respectively.

"It is really true. It is true. You can help me save my grandmother."

Aiden mumbled with a quaking tone as he finally believed the system totally and completely. He bent down with tears streaming down his eyes– they were tears of happiness.
