Jack dropped the glass and the cup immediately shattered on the floor but he barely noticed. His whole body felt like it was vibrating and was feeling some strange energy. His vision became blur and the room looked like it was spinning in his eyes as he stumbled backwards, he immediately gripped the edge of the kitchen counter as he tries to balance himself.

"What is happening to me?" Jack Harrison said in his thoughts as he panicked but hut his mind flashed back to the strange system stats that was on the screen earlier Strength, speed,Sonic boom,super cloak, were these changes happening inside him already, as he kept wondering ans tries processing what was happening, the energy was already becoming unbearable as his limbs went numb and hack suddenly became dizzy and eventually his vision became dark and his body collapsed in the floor as he was gradually becoming unconscious.

As Jack laid there, the spark inside began to calm and starts settling deep inside his body. Jack was completely unaware of how long he would remain unconscious or what changes could be taking place inside him. The house remain quiet and the shattered glass was casting a reflection in the ceiling.

The next morning, Jack woken up and saw himself lying on the kitchen cold floor as his body and head aches in pain. He blinked slowly as he tries to understand the surroundings.

The morning light casted down through the windows across the room. Jack Harrison then realized he was still in the same spot where he collapsed last night.

Jack Harrison slowly pushed himself up with his limbs all weak so he sat on the floor, his mouth was dry and muscles was aching as if he has been drained of all his energy.

He glanced around the kitchen and saw the shattered glass in the floor where he dropped the cup. The memory of last night came back to him and he remembered how the strange spark of energy moved through him and he lost consciousness.

"What happened to me?" Jack Harrison whispered to himself as he was trying to make sense if all it.

His body felt different, he felt drained as if the strange power that followed through his body drained him.

Jack Harrison mind went back to the stats that appeared in front of him last night and Jack was unsure whether it was somehow connected to this or was his body changing and unlocking something within him.

Jack Harrison stood up on his feet as he was holding himself up with the kitchen counter. His legs was shaking a little and was still feeling dizzy but he managed to stand. Jack Harrison looked down at his hands as he was somehow expecting it to glow or some sign of power he had felt but his hand was just normal and pale.

Jack Harrison was unsure of what was happening to him as it was something he couldn't explain. He walked carefully to the sink and poured cold water on his face hoping to remove the feeling of weakness.

As the water touched his skin he saw his reflection in the kitchen window and he didn't look any different but he felt something changed on the inside.

He had no idea about the new found energy or how it works but the spark was still doing slightly deep inside him.

Jack thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Mrs Sophie walks into the kitchen as her eyes widened when she saw Jack standing there look unwell.

"Jack!, why are you on the floor?" She asked as she rushed over.

Jack Harrison was not sure of what to say as he couldn't possibly explain something so strange and unreal so he kept looking at Mrs Sophie as he was trying to find the right words.

"I don't know, i felt strange last night after drinking some water and I passed out. I just woke up now" Jack said softly.

Mrs Sophie's expression softened with concern as she replied.

"I'm sorry, let me get you something to eat, you should rest" she said with concern.

As she was trying to prepare some breakfast, Jack sat down in the kitchen table as he was trying to understand what was happening to him.

Jack was still felling weak but was determined to carry in his daily routine. He went to his room to change clothes and prepare to bath as his mind was filled with confusion after what happened to him last night.

Jack Harrison tries to remove the thought from his head as he was thinking may it would only happen once. As he began to get ready to bathe the strange system screen popped up once again the air in the front of Jack, Jack heart skipped as soon as he saw the screen displaying a new message.

The screen displayed some instructions and analysis of yesterday's reactions which made Jack Harrison glued to the screen as he was trying to understand.
