2024-01-30 07:51:20Nicholas drowned in the sea and died.
Suddenly, There was a loud vibration in the water, the vibration shook the whole of the sea. Nicholas opened his eyes immediately, he thought he was drowning but surprisingly he was breathing fine under water, floating.
'What's happening?' Nicholas thought.
He can't swim so how is he floating ,and secondly he is breathing without an oxygen tank!
"Oh surely I'm dead, what is this? Heaven?" He closed his eyes back but opened it immediately.
"Mhm?"
Due to the coldness of the water, Nicholas knew he was in the deep, deep, depth of the sea.
"Is this my spirit?, my ghost?" He pinched himself severally, he felt no pain!
"Yes, I'm dead" He lies to allow himself to drown.
[Host detected... System activated]
"What was that?"
"Who's here? Who is speaking?, mermaids? Sharks" He hugged himself frightened.
"Jeez, I watch too many horror movies, Sharks can't speak" He assured himself.
A beeping sound was heard. "What's that? What's happening?"
The beeping sound continued and stopped.
[System awoke... Nicholas Shane has awoken the system... New host detected… Nicholas Shane, you have been chosen...]
"Who are you? And how do you know my name? huh? what system are you talking about?" Nicholas yelled.
[Host, please stretch out your right hand for fingerprint authentication]
"Are you kidding me?" He scoffed at the voice.
[Host 101, Stretch out your right hand] The system said, this time louder.
Nicholas had mixed reactions but he did it anyway, he stretched out his right hand, he felt water flowing into his right hand.
This is strange.
Nicholas felt different, he felt more powerful, he moved his right hand, water flowed to the direction of his hand.
He moved the hand to another direction, water followed it.
"Wow, this feels unreal" He was stunned.
[Fingerprint stored, activation begins]
[95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100]
[Activation completes]
[Listen Actor Nicholas Shane, you have been selected to perform some tasks.]
"Nah, nooo, no, that's a big mistake. I'm a useless jerk, I have no one, I have no strength as a normal man should, look at my hair, it's blonde. In short, I'm a weakling!" Nicholas lamented.
"You should choose someone else, please. I'm not fit for the job, my girlfriend plotted with my boss to kill me. She was the only person I have"
[Are you done ranting?Now listen to me. You awoken the system and it has chosen you]
"I can't do anything!"
[Then you die]
Nicholas was quiet for a while. "I will die?"
[Yes, you are actually dead but the system brought you back to life...]
"Oh!" Nicholas shouted.
"That's why I can breathe underwater"
[Yes, that's why...]
Nicholas cuts in again "Wow, this is amazing so I died?"
[Will you listen to me! By the way, what's amazing?, your death or what]
"Those bastards did killed me, I'm all ears tell me what I need to do on this borrowed life"
[You will be used by the system,In return, you will be given a second chance, a second life. You will be famous, well skilled, respected and most successful actor in your entertainment industry]
"Really?" Nicholas asked.
"Is it possible?"
[Yes, some tasks will be given to you, which will prepare and train you for the mission ahead]
"Will I be going to the gym, I hate the gym" He stated with irritation.
[ Which is obviously why you are like an old woman broomstick, so thin, malnourished. How did your girlfriend cope with you? Must have been headache]
"Shut it!" Nicholas yelled at the system.
Then, water flushed into Nicholas's body , his spirit came out of his body, Nicholas spirit saw his dead body drowning.
"No, no, please help, do something" His spirit cried out scared.
"I'm drifting away, please help me" Nicholas' spirit was in tears.
Suddenly a force came in and Nicholas's body floated up, his spirit went inside his body.
He opened his eyes.
"I'm alive" He whispered.
[Welcome back, Mr. Nicholas Shane, can you see whom your life depends on now? Are you ready for the mission]
"Yes"
[Like I said earlier whenever you accomplished those tasks, more life battery, fame and skills]
"Life battery?"
[Yes, you are on life battery, till you accomplish the mission then you are free like a normal human. But, before then, make sure your life battery doesn't run out or you die permanently. Even I cannot do anything about it]
Nicholas shivered after hearing that statement.
"So, where is the life battery, how will I know if it's almost running down?"
[You will know, you will see it. If it's 15%, it's red, too low.
So you have to recharge. And mind you, you will only get a life battery when you accomplish a task, if not. No life battery and you die]
Nicholas felt unworthy of carrying the mission, especially a weakling, loser, and failure like him. What can he do?How do he do it?.
"Where is the life battery?"
{It will be given to you when you accomplish your tasks not here]
"Okay "
[Don't forget if you run out of your life battery ,you die ] The system repeated in a fade voice and disappeared.
"I know ,I will try not to ,so what next,I'm still in the water?" Nicholas asked but there was no reply.
"Hello? Are you still here ? ,hey"He waved his hands .
"Mr. System ?"
"Answer me!" He clenched his fist.
Suddenly, he felt weak . His eye lids were closing ,and gradually he couldn't move or speak.
Eventually he lost consciousness.

His deep-set eyes, once focused on the pages, shifted toward her as she approached, instantly catching the troubled expression on her face.Nicholas set the script aside and reached out a hand. "Karen, what's wrong?" His voice was comforting, carrying with it a weight of concern that made Karen's heart clench.Karen sat down beside him on the edge of the bed, her fingers nervously toying with the hem of the towel.

The kidnap
Naomi wandered aimlessly through the city streets, her mind racing with thoughts of the argument she had with Joe. The neon lights of the city blurred as tears filled her eyes, making it hard to see where she was going. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, trying to push the sadness away, but it was no use. She had been walking for hours, and it was now late into the night. The streets were nearly empty, cars were passing. Naomi wrapped her arms around herself, trying to fend off the chill that had settled in her bones. She had nowhere to go, no one to turn to. The thought of going back to Joe crossed her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. She couldn’t face him, not after what had happened.Her stomach growled, reminding her that she hadn’t eaten anything since breakfast. She found a bench on the side of the road and sat down, chewing her lip in frustration. She dug into her bag and pulled out a piece of gum, chewing it absentmindedly as she tried to figure out what to do

The morning sun filtered through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow over the room. Joe stood at the gas cooker preparing breakfast. The scent of freshly brewed coffee mingled with the aroma of bacon and eggs. As he flipped the pancakes, he glanced over his shoulder at Naomi, who was sitting at the kitchen table, staring absently at the wall. Her face was pale, and dark circles under her eyes spoke of a restless night. She had been acting strangely ever since yesterday incident with the water, and Joe was worried about her."Breakfast is ready," Joe said, trying to sound cheerful as he brought the plates to the table.Naomi looked up and managed a weak smile. "It smells good, Joe. Thank you."They sat down to eat, the clinking of cutlery and the occasional sip of tea were the only sounds breaking the silence. Joe watched Naomi carefully, something felt off about her."Naomi, I've been thinking..." Joe began, choosing his words carefully. "Maybe we should visit the hospital today.

"What do you want me to do?" she asked aloud.“Drink 20 liters of water, and..”Before the message could finish, Naomi was already off the bed, bolting out of her room.

She was in the midst of contemplating what to do with the money she had just received from the system. The amount was huge, she didn't take the system serious, she was glad that she did skip.Apart from the money, she felt like her body was stronger since the skip.She thought about the immediate needs first.“A new bank card” She lost her old one in the water.

Get your fresh oranges here!" a seller called out, his voice rising.Naomi paused, examining the oranges. They were plump and juicy, promising a burst of sweetness. She reached into her pocket, feeling the meager coins she had left. With a sigh, she realized she didn't have any to buy this fruit.As she turned away, her gaze fell upon a man struggling with a large crate. He looked up, catching her eye, and smiled."Could you lend me a hand?" he asked, his voice warm and friendly.Naomi nodded, stepping forward to help. Together, they lifted the crate into a truck."Thank you," he said, wiping the sweat from his brow.
