Jack Harrison heart raced as he stared at the numbers and the strange stats on the screen.Strength, speed,Sonic boom. These were abilities he only knew from stories and video games but not something to describe a real person talk less of him. He also glanced at the words written below such as energy blade, night vision and super cloak. He had never seen such abilities like that in his life.

Jack Harrison tried to touch the glowing screen displayed as he was hesitating before waving his hand through the glowing screen but it felt like nothing but air, and though the text stayed intact.

"What the hell is this?" Jack Harrison said to himself as he his gaze was fixated at the door. Mrs Sophie had only left few minutes ago, unaware of the sudden occurrence.

Jack Harrison tries to focus on the words in the screen as he noticed that the numbers seemed to gauge some sort of potential and also list of abilities and equipment such as energy blade, super cloak and night vision which all sounded like a gear a superhero would use and not someone like him.

But as he was glancing at the names of the equipment he felt a strange aura like a power awakening and surging inside him.

He then remembered when he was at the farm and was ambushed by Finn and his guys. Which he ended up receiving beatings that almost ended his and made him passed out for hours and maybe that awaken something inside of him he didn't know it was there.

Was this part of his identity or he accidentally awaken something he didn't know he had within him? Or was he dreaming?, all this thoughts was running through his head then suddenly the screen appeared again and more words appeared this time with a message.

MISSION: REST FOR 8 HOURS

ABILITIES: TO BE UNLOCKED

OBJECTIVE: AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS

Jack Harrison was losing his breath as soon as he saw the word abilities.

"Abilities?, missions?" Jack whispers to himself, his mind was racing as he tries to understand what is going on, as he wondered if it is possible that there was more to him that he never knew.

The screen the disappeared once more same way it mysteriously appeared leaving Jack Harrison staring at an empty air where he saw the system screens.

Jack Harrison heart was still racing as he sat down frozen and wondering what all of that meant and what would happen next.

Jack Harrison couldn't believe what he had just witnessed as he sat there completely dumbfounded as he kept staring at the spot where the system screen disappeared from. His mind was racing as he was processing what just happened.

"Was I hallucinating?" Jack Harrison asked himself as he couldn't believe his eyes so he blinked several times and he was then certain that the system screen is gone and once again the room became quiet except for the sound of crackling fire in the other room.

Jack Harrison heart kept beating in his chest as he wondered if all of this could be real because just moments ago he was a weakling, orphan boy and was not sure about his purpose in life and now our of nowhere he has been given a stats like he was a character in a video game and equipment he had never heard of such as energy blade, night vision, Sonic boom and super cloak.

Jack Harrison kept trying hard to process all of it but none of it made sense as he wonders why the system chose him, and was surprised because he had always been an ordinary boy struggling with life challenges but not someone with super abilities or hidden powers.

Jack Harrison stood up slowly as he tries to test if the system screen would appear back but nothing happened. He kept wondering if there was something inside him that he didn't know about or was there some secret tied to his past or his grandmother's death.

Jack Harrison began to breath heavily as he needed answers for all this questions running through his head but didn't know who to ask and was certain not to bother Mrs Sophie with it so as to avoid sounding crazy.

Jack glanced around the room hoping to find a clue but everything was like that just as he was it.

Jack Harrison was shaking before he finally sat back I. The edge of the bed while holding his head in confusion. If this is not a dream then it means something bigger is happening and he is involved but what?, he kept wandering.

Then suddenly a thought came to his mind like a whisper, Jack Harrison who was still trying to process what the strange system screen showed. As his mind was racing in different directions.

Jack Harrison stood up as his legs was still trembling and decided to calm himself down.

"I need a glass of water, I hope it would put me at ease" Jack Harrison said as he was hoping it would help him clear his head.

He left his room and made his way to the kitchen, he walked quietly on the wooden floor so as not to disturb Mrs Sophie sleep, and the hose was silent as usual except for the crackling of the fire.

Jack Harrison took an empty glass and filled it with water from the tap that was sun the kitchen. After taking a deep breath, Jack cranked the water and the water was rushing into his mouth.

At first it was refreshing just like any other glass of water. But then something strange happened, as soon as the water entered his stomach, he felt a sudden surge of energy like a spark, sparking inside his body.

His muscles was vibrating and his heartbeat accelerated, it was as if the body was reject the water within him as the sensation was painful and was sparking like an electric current running under his skin.

    “I tried, okay? I tried to stop him, but he is too stubborn! I can’t do anything, Lucy! I have my own problem to worry about!” Dwayne blurted out at once, still grunting inwardly while he looked at Vince who had made two other failed attempts to strike Jack with his spear. “What are you afraid of? huh? Fight me, Jack! Fight me like a man! You just killed two men and my sister! I am sure that taking one more life would mean nothing to you! Fight me! Are you scared?” Vince roared as he marched angrily at Jack who sighed heavily while he watched him get closer with each fast limp he made. Jack’s intention was just to defend himself and never hurt the Elf, but he was afraid that he was going to have to choose between himself and Vince who refused to budge. “You need to stop this, Vince! You are making a very terrible mistake! I don’t want to hurt you! I don’t want to hurt you!” Jack continued to restrain himself from hurting the elf who was not thinking of any other thing but his vende

    Eventually, Vince gave in, and reluctantly let go of Jack’s hands while he looked at his sister whose life was fading away gradually. “This better work or I am going to kill you myself! I don’t care if you have that weapon or not!” Vince threatened, staring at the blazing sword which lay on the ground close to Jack. “Hurry, Jack! She is almost dying!” Lucy called Jack’s attention to Sierra who had stopped jerking, giving signs that she was about to die. Quickly, Jack leaned forward to her and poured some of the content of the healing oil into her mouth while Lucy helped him keep her mouth open just before she forced her to swallow it. They waited for a few seconds amidst the panic that engulfed them, but nothing happened. Jack looked at the bottle in his hand, and when he returned his gaze to Sierra, he saw that she was not moving, and he became very nervous. “I think you should give her more! Maybe that wasn’t enough!” Lucy suggested, and just when Jack was about to do what she

    “Jack! Watch out!” Lucy shouted as soon as she saw the two savage men moving slowly toward Jack from behind, hoping to take him unaware, but he turned instantly, causing them to halt while they looked at the blazing sword which they were wary of. “Stay away from me and my friends if you do not want to end up like your leader and your fighter!” Jack kicked Kael’s head toward the two savage men who were standing behind him. One of them stopped it from rolling with his left foot, and the two of them growled at Jack angrily, but the sight of the weapon which he wielded firmly caused them not to make a single move. “That should be enough to show you that you will be fighting a lost battle if you decide to stop us from leaving. We do not want any more trouble….” Jack looked at his companions, and then he signaled to them at once, waiting patiently until they got up from their kneeling positions. Vince and Lucy helped Sierra up while Dwayne hurriedly gathered their weapons from the floor

    For almost thirty seconds, Jack looked at the sword in his hand, wondering if it was going to be able to do anything to hurt the beast in Human form standing before him. At that moment, he would have preferred the energy blade, but there was no time to think about any other decision as Kael had gotten ready to attack. Stomping his feet heavily on the hard floor, Kael ran toward Jack with all the energy he had in him, ready to finish him off with a single strike. “You are going to regret what you did to my champion!” Kael roared, jumping up again while he lifted his sword, and struck Jack with it. Reacting to the nervousness that cringed into him the moment he saw the sword coming down at him, Jack lifted his sword impulsively in an attempt to block the strike from Kael’s sword. Unexpectedly, the blazing sword blazed with a fierce glitter that was bright enough to blind anyone who gazed at it for a long time. Sending Kael’s sword back to him as soon as they contacted, Jack’s blazi

    Jack became very wary of what was going to happen if he wasn’t able to dodge the arrow, but because Kael was closer than he was before, he couldn’t discard the nervousness that crept into his body as he watched his enemy get closer to him. Without warning, Kael released the spear from his hand with a more fierce energy which was almost twice the force with which he threw the previous spear which managed to give Jack a cut on his left arm. Luckily, Jack ducked the moment the spear got very close to him, and it flew ahead of him, missing him by several inches. Kael grunted angrily while his men groaned in disappointment as they thought that the spear was going to get Jack after Kael had aimed for his head, hoping to kill him with the second spear. “You missed!” Jack said to Kael with a smirk on his face while he struggled to catch his breath after having a near-death experience while he watched the spear attempt to plunge into his head. “Hand me over a sword!” Kael said imperati

    Jack looked at the leader of the Forsaken for a few seconds, and even though he struggled not to be afraid of him, he couldn’t stop himself from being wary of the fact that it wasn’t going to be easy to kill him just like he had killed Rico who was not as strong as he was. He was still struggling with the uncertainty that crept into his mind as he stood before Kael Who was getting ready to attack him when he suddenly felt a weakness surging through his veins, and causing him to feel very dizzy. His body seemed to be reacting to something he was completely unaware of, and he struggled to keep his eyes open while he groaned. “What is happening to me? Why do I feel this way?” Jack asked himself with a whisper while he continued to struggle with himself amidst the weakness that became more intense with each passing moment. “What is wrong with him? Why is he acting very strange?” Lucy whispered only to her hearing while she looked at Jack who was still struggling to stand on his fee

    Turning to look at Kael who was walking slowly toward him, Jack continued his movement as well, looking confidently as the leader of the Forsaken until they met in the middle of the crowd. “I underestimated you, boy,” Kael said with a frown on his face, staring at Jack who unexpectedly didn't flinch even though he expected him to because he looked far more dangerous than Rico in all ramifications. “I think we are even, Kael. I hope you are going to let us go now.” Jack said with a deadpan face, looking at Kael who nodded without letting go of his frown. He looked at some of the savage men by his left who started to make hooting sounds, but he quickly looked away from them and returned his gaze to Kael who suddenly started to smile. Jack looked at him for a few seconds, waiting for him to speak, but he soon started to chuckle without taking his eyes away from him. “Is he going crazy?” Jack thought to himself but refused to speak in order not to arouse any form of lingered antagoni

    From the look of things, everyone was waiting for Rico to kill Jack with a single strike, especially Rico himself who was eager to cut his head with his axe. “You are going to regret ever being companions with those elves! How can Humans be moving together with those long-eared creatures of deception?” Rico’s voice had no other intention but to mock Jack who ignored him and stood still, waiting for the right time to strike. “Can’t you hear me? Huh?” Rico started to move toward Jack who made no move while he waited for him to get closer. ALERT! NEW MISSION ACTION: KILL RICO WITH A SINGLE STRIKE REWARD: NEW WEAPONS! The moment Jack saw the notification that popped up on the screen, he nodded in satisfaction, chuckling softly at the fact that the notification that popped up on the blue screen just gave him a more valid reason to kill Rico whom he considered a noisemaker. While he stared at the blue screen with a bright smile on his face, Jack felt more courageous than he already w

    “He has promised to regain that which he has lost! He shall be given one last chance!” Kael declared with a loud voice, and the men hooted almost immediately, cheering Rico who lifted his ace above his head, and glared at the five adventurers who were a distance away from them. The bloodshot look on his face showed that he was ready to destroy whoever it was that was going to be the next person to face him. “Let’s see who is up next to challenge our champion,” Kael said with a low tone, and then he marched toward the adventurers who already knew the reason why he was walking toward them. A few seconds later, while Kael was still a few meters away from them, Dwayne stood up immediately and looked at Kael who gave him an inquisitive stare. “I wish to replace her! Let me face your champion!” Dwyane said courageously, looking at Kael who closely observed him the moment he stopped a few inches away from him, and sighed softly. “I wish to replace her! Let me face your champion!” Dwayne
