Jack Medallion System

chapter 6

Jack glanced at the screen in shock as his mind was racing as he was trying to understand the information.

What does it mean my body is incompatible with liquids?, the water he drank last night had caused that sudden flow of energy and he has being warned not to drink anything again which sounds impossible for him but the system screen made it clear that that drinking of liquid could lead to further danger.

Jack then remembered how he collapsed last night after he drank a glass of water. Jack then began to remember how he was living a normal life just days before without no mysterious powers and no strange system messages. But now things are getting out of his control.

"What does this mean?" Jack said to himself with his voice shaking. He then waved his hands on he screen hoping to see more clarification but the message remained the same.

Jack Harrison tapped the screen desperately as he was trying to access more information but there was no further explanation other than what it wrote before.

Then all of a sudden the screen displayed a new message.

ABILITIES ACTIVATED: HYDRATION ADAPTATION PENDING TO UNLOCK

TIME TO UNLOCK: UNKNOWN. YOUR SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE HYDRATION METHOD ONCE UNLOCKED.

Jack Harrison held his breath as he read the final lines. He was no longer bound to human limitations which makes him wonder what was happening to him. The ideas that his body would adapt to no longer needing water was what baffles him.

Jack Harrison was changing and evolving to something beyond his understanding and there was no turning back. His mind raced with questions and how he could last without drinking water.

He also wonders about the strange adaptation his body would develop and most importantly why him and what was the purpose behind all of this.

The screen then vanished again leaving Jack standing there alone in his room as the weight of warning went deep into his mind.

Jack Harrison sat on the edge of his bed as he held his head. The day has just began but how s life has changed completely and he didn't know what was coming next but he had no choice than to face it one at a time.

Weeks passed and Jack Harrison was still thinking about the strange new system that has taken over him. Every day the system brought new challenges so as to keep the host alive, and day by day, Jack tries to understand the system powers.

The system hadn't unlocked any further abilities and he was constantly on the edge wondering what might happen or change next.

One morning, Jack was sitting quietly in his room as he was thinking about all that has happened in his life and how he finally got to this stage, he remembered all the bullies he has faced and insults he had faced then all of a sudden he heard a sudden knock on the door which snapped him out of his thoughts.

Jack froze for a moment as his mind was racing because he knew Mrs Sophie usually knocks softly if she needed something but this knock was loud with urgency.

"Jack, you need to get dressed.we're going to the council headquarters today.there is something important you need to see" Mrs Sophie said through the door.

Jack was blinking in confusion as he went and opened the door to find Mrs Sophie standing there.

"What's happening?" Jack asked as he was surprised by her seriousness.

Mrs Sophie sighed as her eyes softened.

"We're going to witness the execution of Charles Oliver one, the most notorious criminal in this town. Everyone has been looking forward to this day and now the council wants me everyone to attend.it is a reminder of the consequences of a criminal life lived." She said.

Jack Harrison was surprised to hear the name Charles Oliver. He had whispers about the man during his time with his grandmother. Whenever the people hear the name and saw Charles Oliver, the people would glanced at each other in fear. Charles Oliver was a man of terror, he is known for his violent acts and crimes against the town and the people.

His capture has been the talk of the city for months but Jack Harrison never imagined that he would be witnessing the final chapter of such a man.

"Mrs Sophie, I don't know if I'm ready to see something like that" Jack said quietly as the idea of watching an execution sent shivers down his spine.

"I know it's a lot for you jack but this isn't just witnessing punishment, it's a reminder of justice and th council believes it's important for all of us to see how dangerous choices can lead to a person's downfall" Mrs Sophie said as she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Alright, I'll get dressed" Jack noises slowly even though he was feeling creepy about it.

"Take your time, we'll leave soon" Mrs Sophie said before letting out a small smile even though it was clear that she was happy about the event.

As she left the room, Jack felt was felling a strange uneasy within him. He dressed in silence while pulling on his shirt and jacket as his mind was replaying the name Charles Oliver over and over again. Jack Harrison once heard that Oliver once held power and influence in the city before he became a dark. Some even said he has ties to the old secret LS if the city a knowledge that had been lost for years.

As Jack dressed up silently, the system screen displayed in front of him. This time it didn't display any new message, just a quick display of the same stats he had before as it reminded him to upgrade.
