My Military System

Chapter 3. The Military System.

“..Wh..what..what is this?” I could feel pain raking my body as he coughed again. The explosion decimated everything within 30ft around him. The mortar artillery he had been setting up had already blown to bits, why wasn't he dead then? And what was that voice he heard in his head? He thought he was in the afterlife so why was he back here?. I raised my hand and I felt it was strange.

“I should be dead..blown to pieces..why I'm I still whole?” the flesh showed signs of peeling and nothing else, but instead of blood, he saw red lights around his palm reattaching the flesh and healing his palm.

                         *

«The Military System has been activated»

“Who said that?” Bryan became fearful. But the voice kept mute, he thought more and realize he didn't hear this voice with his ears, rather it was as if it communicated via telepathy.

«Host's body condition and physique is unsuitable for the system, bypassing host's authorization, reconstruction of body initialized»

Just as the voice said, he felt a cool sensation wash over him, he felt no pain but rather drowsy, he could not stop himself as his eyelids closed and darkness welcomed him.

                         *

«Welcome host. I am the Military System, and you have met the requirements for my activation. I shall assist you in your quests»

The voice woke Bryan up. As he tried to wrap his head around what was going on, although it seemed stupid but he had really set himself on a suicide mission when he chose to take on the entire Red Blood Opposition by himself, what was he thinking!? That this was a movie and he was superman!? And what did he get!? Being blasted by a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG). Thinking more on this, he realized again that he should be dead considering the kind of firepower that was used. He raised his hand again and saw a perfect palm with no blemish.

“THE FUCK!”

He jumped from the blackened floor in shock. He checked his body and he could find no injury apart from the partially burnt Alorea Nation army uniform, he was in perfect shape. He could also feel that his strength had tripled, and a smile formed on his lips.

“I guess things do work out!”

                        *

Bryan stood up, straightened his tattered uniform and searched around him for a weapon. He then spotted a pistol six feet from him. He chose to squat so as to avoid any stray bullet, it won't do him any good if he died a second time.. who knows? He might die for real this time.

Picking up the weapon. Bryan got the shock of his life as a digital computerized info appeared in front of him.

«Ding!

Weapon obtained.

Model: SiG 312.

Range: nine millimeters

Mag: Twelve rounds.

Does Host wish to modify the said gun?» a male robotic voice read out the info and then asked him the question.

Bryan almost threw away the gun, but on second thought, he held himself. He then began to put the puzzles together. He could not help but gasp at the discovery he made.

“Fuxk me twice over! This is one of those light novel system thingy I read when I was a kid!” Bryan said as a wide smile played on his lips.

«Ding!

Imbedding weapons mastery skill and combat master skill into Host's consciousness.» the same robotic voice came again.

Bryan almost fainted from the pain he received at that moment. A lot of information flashed through his mind and it felt so surreal. When the pain subsided, Bryan came to understand that he now knew how to properly handle a gun, in fact, any gun for that matter. Not just guns, he could literally turn anything into a weapon and he now felt confident that he could defeat anyone in a fight.

“I now know Jujitsu, Aikido, Ninjitsu, Bojitsu and even Mauy Thai! Damn! How overpowered I'm I!?”

Zip!

A bullet flew past his head. It was so close that he could feel the kinetic energy it emitted.

“Time to continue from where I left off.”

At that moment, three RBO soldiers came forth with their AKs pointed at Bryan.

“Surrender! Surrender or die!” They echoed in unison.

“Surrender?” Bryan smiled. He has never for once bend the knee, even when he was bullied in the military training camp. The only time he did so was when he went to beg his father for assistance so his mother's medical bills could be cleared. But never again.

«Ding!

New quest: Defeat the three insurgents without getting injured.

Reward: Thirty contribution points.

Penalty: Nil» the system issued it's first ever quest to Bryan.

“Sure enough, this is a system.” Bryan muttered to himself.

“Get down on your knees or we shoot!” one of the RBO soldiers spoke harshly.

“Alright, let's get this over with.” his replied stunned the RBO soldiers. How can an unarmed New American soldier fight against three enemy soldiers, each aiming an AK-47 at him. His reply angered them.

“Kill him!”

Bryan entered a trance like state as he saw all the lead plated bullets in slow motion. He passed through them and decided to advance towards the group of three.

“Let's see if you can handle the new me.” Bryan ran towards the one who had issued out the kill order, dodging another bullet, he bent down and gave him a punch on the belly, the RBO soldier's mouth opened in an O shape while his eyes went wide with shock and pain. Bryan gave him an extension kick, then rushed off towards the second one who didn't even have time to take a defensive stance, Bryan bent a bit and then gave him a powerful uppercut, sending him three feet away from the others, he passed out before he even hit the ground. Bryan then turned to the last one, holding the enemy's head with his right hand, he took out his dagger from his waist belt and stabbed it into the man's temple, the man fell without as much as letting out a pained cry. All these happened in a span of ten seconds.

                            *

Gobsmacked, Dumbfounded, Jaw dropped.

All the surviving Alorean soldiers who stood afar were stunned speechless as they stared at Bryan in fear as they watched him dodged all the bullets that were shot at him at close proximity without getting a scratch. Even 007 James Bond could never achieve such a feat.

“Wow, the fuck just happened!? Holy shit!” no one was more shocked than Major Cutthroat and it showed in his voice. He turned towards his adjutant.

“Ronald, you saw it too right? he just danced through all the attacks, and took those guys out like they were paper-pigs.” the Major said with a shaky voice, but his adjutant; Ronald, didn't reply as he was too stunned to even utter a word. Major Cutthroat didn't mind.

“We have a hidden dragon in our midst all this time.”
