Opening his eyes slowly, the room he was in wasn't quite sitting well with Tristan. He looked up at the ceiling and wondered whether or not he was still on Earth.He looked to his left to see a movable desk full of medicines, some bottles, a syringe, and a whole bunch of medical tools and it quickly occurred to him that he was in the hospital.He tried to sit up but it felt as though his body was paralyzed because he couldn't move one bit./ Welcome back host/" System? " He uttered with a faint voice." What happened?"/ You nearly died if I should put it so clearly/" The gas right? " Tristan mumbled as he recalled the incident that transpired before everything became dark and gloomy./ Yes, you inhaled a lot of carbon monoxide and nearly died/"How did I get here?" He asked./ The cops, they came just in time and brought you here, you have been in this condition for hours, I succeeded in keeping you alive/"You what?" / If not for me, you would have been long gone, I wanted to hea
Two days before Halloween, Tristan's apartment was decorated, although this had a traumatic effect on Tristan considering his just concluded task, he didn't say anything about it, he just left his family to enjoy the fall season.Also, Claudia who had heard about what happened to him came back to spend the Halloween event with him, she stayed at his apartment since her arrival and has only gone home to see her parents once.Someone else came from Florida to see Tristan and it was none other than Jennes Bennett. Although she stayed at a hotel during her visit, she constantly visited Tristan at home and had to accept the fact that Tristan had someone else and was not interested in her.Paul also visited him once, and so did Marie. Marie was never comfortable moving back to her old apartment because of the past incident so she found a new apartment in a more lively location where she would feel less afraid because there were more people around.As for Tristan, he got so tired of constant
Noon, the next day."No, I will not be wearing a zombie chicken costume for Halloween thank you?" Tristan scoffed and hung the costume back on the rack. He has brought Ariana to a mall to get a costume for her and himself in preparation for Halloween later in the day, and so far, every matching costume that Ariana picked for the both of them seems childish and embarrassing to him."Why not?" Ariana asked him sheepishly and continued to admire the chicken costume."Well it's not bad, but not my style, I mean what does a chicken zombie even mean exactly?" He asked her."I think it's uhm, a human zombie caught a chicken and wanted to eat it, the chicken escaped but the chicken was already bitten so it became a zombie, and went about biting other chickens until there was a chicken zombie apocalypse all over the world! "She narrated and tried to put a scary expression on her face." Wow, come to think of it, that's not a bad concept, "Tristan said to her with a smile." So does that mean w
The hall was set, pumpkin lanterns hanging from the ceiling, slow music filled the air, statues of monsters, vampires, and whatnot arranged in several corners as students entered the hall one after another. Max had just parked the car in front of the school, and all the students who were outside couldn't help but admire the car, and wonder who was in it. "Whoever's is in there must have a very rich father," one student said to another."Yes, but not that rich, look at the car it's Damm expensive, at least it looks very expensive, I wonder who it is?" another said looking down just to see who would step out of the car.Max got down and opened the door for Ariana to step out in her invisible man costume, she looked just like a young celebrity in a long vintage jacket and a top hat from the ninety's."That's Ariana!" the students who were discussing could not believe their eyes. At school, Ariana wasn't much of a talkative, so she never gave them the idea that she was from the richest
Tristan looked away briskly, but it was too late since Laura had already seen him too. She kept a straight face and pretended as though she was looking at the stage even though nothing was going on there.She stood up and mumbled,"let me get myself a drink before the children get back on stage." and walked away with a sigh of relief.Tristan understood why she did that and was happy that she did, he felt cursed that he had to get a seat near her and it was even worse that they'd have to be in that position for the rest of the event.He also stood up and left but in the opposite direction, he went to meet Max as the system directed him and he requested a drink and popcorn which Max left to purchase from the vendor.Then he picked up his phone and called Claudia to complain."Look what you all have caused right?" he said immediately and Claudia who didn't understand why he was lamenting asked why?"Well, do you remember Laura? she's also here and she got a seat next to mine, now instea
The event went on for the first hour, one presentation after another with several scary moments and children doing the best they could on stage.Afterward, there was another break, where parents went off their seats to stretch a little or purchase something else, but Tristan remained unmoved in his seat, scrolling through his phone."Uncle, did you see my performance?" Ariana ran to him, with her innocent smile."Yes, of course I did and you were so good, I never knew you could play the role of a witch so perfectly," he said."I practiced a lot, I wish Mom was here to see it," she said with an expression of disappointment."Don't worry dear, Max has a video, so I can show it to her," Tristan assured her."Yay, I'll go back to my classroom now, we are getting ready for our last presentation." She said and happily walked away with a smile.Before Tristan could turn back to his phone screen, Laura's voice spoke to him from behind,"You know what you did was not nice Tristan."Tristan pau
"Hello sir, can you hear me, what did she say?" Max asked from the other side of the phone.Tristan did not know what to do, he couldn't send the old woman away like the others, and he did not want anything to do with Laura either."I'll call you back Max," he said and disconnected the call."Is there something wrong, son? I can see it in your face, I hope I didn't upset you?" The old lady asked as she noticed that Tristan's expression went pale."No, you didn't," Tristan said and loosened up his tight expression."I was only surprised that uhm… Laura is your daughter," he said."Oh, you know her?" She asked him."No, but I have heard of her from someone, don't worry, my bodyguard will find her," Tristan said." Oh, thank you so much son, you do not know how relieved I am, I can't even find where she parked her car, I think it's on the other side." " Don't worry ma, once she comes she will take you there, no problems." He said and got into the front seat of the car.Then he used the
/Sub-quest initiated,//Get a driver's license!// reward; 50 exp points/"System?" Tristan asked, they had just gotten home and we were barely out of the car when he got the task, and couldn't believe his eyes./If I don't make you do it, you might not/"what's the time limit?" / You must get your driver's license before the end of February!/"Sheesh, that long?" /The process of learning to drive and getting a driver's license can take around 4-6 months to complete. This includes taking a driver's education course, getting a learner's permit, completing supervised driving practice, and passing a driving test, however being the system, I'll assist/"Whatever, I hope I can do both of them, you know? the course to get a legal certificate to keep running Coleman's Cooperative?"/Well that depends on you, good luck host/"Sigh," Tristan heaved a sigh of frustration before getting out of the car and heading into the house."How did it go?" his mother asked, she was sitting in the living
