"Where am I?"
"Which place is this?""Anyone here....!" I yelled in panic, that place was filled with wires and blue lights, as if I am in an electronic device.{Welcome to the world of systems}That voice continued,"Who are you? and what is this place?" I asked out raising my chin as I couldn't see anyone around me.{You are selected for a cultivating system}It announced,"Which system and what cultivation? is that a dream or some kind of prank??" that's unbelievable,what system?what cultivation?it's nothing but a prank, I am sure someone is pulling my leg,"Hey... who the hell are you, man? come out now... stop playing with me... my life is already sucking so stop sucking me... ok?" I screamed in frustration,I was freaked out by that voice, and this place as well, it was definitely some kind of ghost that was playing games with me.{System request :-}{Want to continue :-}{Yes}{No}{Please select an option}An announcement was made and I was puzzled, could it be real?It isn't a prank, right?I hesitated at first but deep inside I felt like giving it a try, a hope of getting the cultivation bloomed in me, and as a result, my shivering hands touched the 'yes' option.I was swirled and the platform I was standing on was lifted.{Welcome to stage one}{Stage one -Level one-mission one}{Candidate - Aryan}{Points acquired - nill}{task given- one}{task completed-nill}This information popped out of nowhere, what are these?{Task one-Stage one -Level one-mission one}What is this one-on-one?I couldn't understand a bit of it, but I selected the last option,{Task initiated }A door of light opened and I was dragged into it, the other side of the door opened and I was pushed out into a land, what is this now?It looked like a normal land with mountains and trees around me,{Task details - get at least three gem stones}As it was announced I was puzzled, gem stones where could I get those?This is a system and every system has its rules and modes of action, when I am in, why not play to the fullest?"Hello system, can I get the instructions for this task? where can I find the gems that you have asked for?"{Gems are found in the Damel beast, killing at least three to get three gems thus to complete mission one}"Damel beasts... now what is that?" I don't think I will get the answer to this, no system will take me along holding my hand like a small child.I strolled around to find those damel beasts but couldn't see any animal or beasts around me,"Are they invisible to the eyes?" I couldn't help myself but ask,{Damel beast- small pick color beasts found under the bushes about one foot in height. Defense, they pee to protect themselves, }What...!Pee to protect themselves...!Yak...!I must be careful with these, they are found under the bushes, right?I bent and picked a stick in my hands as a weapon, and started beating in the bushes suddenly I saw one of them, it was pink in color and a foot height, but that was so cute, how could I kill something so cute?For getting out of this place, to complete the mission I had to, I raised my stick reluctantly to hit it but as a defensive act it raised its cute little leg and peed on me,Shit....! disgusting...!That stick fell and I patted his head with my hand just once, it turned into a red color gem, and as soon as I touched the gem, it was collected on the storage device on my hand, but I was bathed by its pee,Is it that simple?But his pee stinks too much, it's too strong to bear, no wonder it is a defensive option for those beasts, I couldn't take it anymore, I looked around if I could find any water to wash it off,There was a river at a distance, so I went there and jumped into it as it was nauseating me, when I was in the river cleaning myself I saw a bunch of those little beasts under the bushes near the river,That might be their hideouts, I wasn't planning to get peed on, so I took a big rock and targeted its head as just a touch over its head was enough for killing them I missed all those,Damn...!Those little ones are good at dodging,When I tried all the other options, I was left with nothing now, I had to go to them to complete the mission, I walked there and hit on the head one by one but the remaining ones peed on me, I can't believe this, on my body, on my head, on my face... all was drenched with their disgusting piss.. uhh. I didn't collect those gems because I couldn't bear that stinks, I ran back to the river and jumped in it to clean myself.After having a convincing bath, I finally got out to collect those left gems, there were five of those gems that I acquired,{Mission- one completed}{ Congratulations on successfully completing the first mission}{A brief report:-}{Stage one -Level one-mission one}{Candidate - Aryan}{Points acquired - six}{task given- one}{task completed-one}{Grade of completing- A1}{Contratulations on enhancing the second mission}Enhancing the second mission...?"Does that mean that I am promoted? but what is the use of that mission?" I was curious about this whole system,{On completing level one, the candidate will be allotted the spell of reversing attack, basic power cultivation one, }"Did I clear level one?"{As the grade of completion was merited you have successfully completed the tasks of mission one, congratulations on getting to mission two}{Guidance chart:-Stage one-Level one-Mission1-Task1-Task2Mission2-Task3-Task4Stage one-Level Two-Mission1-Task1-Task2Mission 2-Task 3-Task4}A complete chart was displayed by the system, no wonder that it was easy,"Oh... so did I just complete mission one?"{Mission one completed}{Upgrade to mission two}{Yes}{No}The options popped out and I selected the 'yes' option,I wasn't taken to any other land but I was still at the land of damel beasts,{Mission two Task one }{Task initiated}{Task details- collect four gems and collect two Tapos}{Tapos- a bright red color blood fruit found under the thorny bushes}"Thank you very much, the system" interesting, it was getting interesting very interesting,First of all, I need to get something to save myself from that disgusting, pee.As I saw throughout before me, I found a tree with huge leaves, bigger in an oval shape, how about making an umbrella to make a protective shield?I went there and twigged three leaves from that tree, and joined them using small sticks. I assembled them in the form of an umbrella and held it before me and at an instance, I attacked those cuties, they tried to lift their little legs to fire their disgusting bullets but I was fully prepared and I hit them one by one, almost all present there.When I couldn't find anyone, I peeked out of my protective shield, and slowly collected twelve of those gems,It was a lot, I was happy that I am capable of completing a task with a distinguished grade.Now those fruits, I need to get them, I wandered everywhere looking for them but I couldn't even one here, it was above my list, I had to ask the system about it,"System please help with the exact location of Topas," I asked out, hoping that it would help me clear the level easily,{System Request Accepted }{You can buy a privilege with the gems you acquired }What...!!"Buy...! ok...! but for how many gems will I be able to buy that privilege?"{one system privilege or request, will cost you Six gems}"Six gems... uhh... isn't it a little costly?" I sniffed because collecting those gems I have been through so much trouble, but to clear this level I had to do it,"Ok... deal" I extended and I can see six of my gems were gone,{Location Traced}I was lifted in the air from where I was able to see a tree at the cliff of the mountain which was shining in a golden color, I was taken to it and dropped on the cliff.Finally, after giving up, six gems I got these fruits, I bent to see those fruits,"Uhh...!!" a hiss released my mouth, there was only one fruit on that tree and to reach that, was almost impossible,How could I be stupid?I should have asked for the fruit itself instead of its location...!Shit...!Now, what should use those remaining gems to get this fruit?But if spent them I have to find some more Damel beasts, and I don't find any of them around.No... I must do it on my own, I picked two strong sticks and crossed them on the thorny bushes, and successfully that fruit was exposed, I plucked it and it went to my storage device.Now that I can do this I will ne able to find the other fruit as well, l took those sticks along with me and searched every corner of that area and fortunately find another tree with four of those Topas fruits,"Incredible...! bravo...!" I was so happy to find them because I didn't use any gems for them and that will complete my mission.I did the same thing and crossed the sticks across those bushes and got the fruits with great difficulty, though I got some injuries because of the thorns, I was able to collect four of them.{Task completed }{Congratulations on successfully completing the task with a merit grade}Those wounds are worth it,"Did I complete mission two completely?" I asked as it was a merited grade, I doubted if I did.{Task 3 and Task 4 completed successfully}{Congratulations on completing the mission and thus clearing level one successfully}That announcement made me jump with happiness."Yes...I did it...!"*************************{Task completed }{Congratulations on successfully completing the task with a merit grade}Those wounds are worth it, "Did I complete mission two completely?" I asked as it was a merited grade, I doubted if I did.{Task 3 and Task 4 completed successfully}{Congratulations on completing the mission and thus clearing level one successfully}That announcement made me jump with happiness."Yes...I did it...!" I was so excited that I was about to cry out, now that I have successfully completed level one, there must be a reward for me, {System Initiatied, please extend your hand, }an announcement was made again and I was dying to get what I just won, According to the system, I was about to get power. I extended my hand and I saw a light rotate around my hand and then it went into my smallest finger, it jerked me but I was sure that it won't harm me anyway.{Level one cleared:- Power Granted}{Instuctions:- Spell of Reversing attack allotted, the candidate must press the last finger th
I pushed my butt up with great difficulty, I don't know why but I felt my weight increase so much in an instant, just by thinking about that vast campus and those creepy eyes glaring at me and making fun of me, while I will be sweeping there, "Uhh...! I wish I could just disappear...from here...!""Will there be a spell to disappear as well? I heard no one could ever master such kind of magic other than that old man...!" I mumbled while talking bath, and my eyes fling opened when I saw myself in the mirror, I gained muscles...!I was always so skinny...all my life...!But I can feel my body growing a little, was that because of that system?Is that possible? I will confirm that when I go into that system today. It was making me smile as I couldn't take off my eyes away from the mirror in front of me, Will that be a help for me?Let's see if I could lift some weight or not, I strode out of the bathroom filled with excitement and wanted to see if my strength increased, and with tha
Aryan's pov.That view in front of me was so horrible, I couldn't sort out what to do when I saw those all books floating out from the library shelves, "I. I w..was w..wrong pl....please g...get b..back t...to y....your p...places" I stuttered a command in fear, there were thousands of books floating in the air and targeting me, Are they going to hit me?Did I do anything wrong?I was confused being blank for a while when I saw that but when I got back to my senses, I felt someone commanding me."Aryan... command in a bold voice asking them to get back to the shelves" I took a long deep breath filling all the fresh air there into my little lungs, then emptying it again, as I felt somewhat better after doing that few more times, I was ready to take command again, "Books... go back to the shelves immediately," I yelled at them, and they trembled and then go back to their places, Hoo....!That was a close call, would they have hit me?I don't think so, but they would have forced me to
In all my seventeen years of life, I think it was the first time that I was convinced by my father's decision, "You all can go back..!" as he commanded we all got out of his office, I was so happy that it was all written on my face, I stopped to talk to Nira as we will be a team tomorrow in the leveling competition, but as usual she tilted her head and walked away.And as usual, I couldn't even open my mouth before her, she is so beautiful and talented that I am nowhere around her."Hey Aryan, so get ready for tomorrow, huh, remember to wear your diaper...!" taunted Arnav walking away, but I can't even do anything as this is my father's office, or I had to face the punishment again.That's my fate, no matter who committed it, I am the only one to get the blame...!I let out my warm breath from my mouth marching towards the library when a friendly arm curled me up, "Hey bro...!have you learned any spells?" asked Alia, I wanted to show her what I can do but my system restricted me to
Aryan pov...I got thirteen gems but five got deleted instantly because I was attacked by five of those little monsters, they peed on my hand and according to the rules, that was a negative point.No matter what, I completed the requirements, but there were still so many demon beasts, that I could kill. I ambushed them and got another fifteen of them out of which three were deleted, but I am happy to get twelve more.I think I can clear both the tasks at once like how I did yesterday.In total I got nineteen gems, that will be enough for now because I still have those fruits to collect. I moved forward thinking about how am I going to spend time with Nira tomorrow.I found a Topas tree before me that tree was so huge and the thrones on it were more like a piercing swords. It was giving me the vibes of a monster with big dreadful sharp teeth waiting to devour me.I can't take risks, I need to shield myself from that too, these leaves can't help me in this case, I have to find something
Aryan pov...I walked towards those bushes with my steps at stake just to avoid scaring them off, but when I reached there, I saw a little bird thumped into the thorny plant, it was injured and was bleeding.I saw that yellow color cute feathery thing to be struggling to survive, and it was just like me struggling, I pitied it. Though my time was running out, I can't leave it there to die. As I looked around, there was a stick that can help me to get to him, I pushed those bushes away and seized that little bird, and took it out from there. It was so small that it fitted in just my palm. "Hey little thing...! don't die yet, let me save you" I talked to it, and it was starting at me as if it understood what I just said.I strode out of that throne bushes but as I was doing that, I was able to see the Topas fruits and surprisingly many damel beasts beneath that tree."Wow...! you are quite helpful...dude...!" I was so happy that I wanted to kiss it, but I hated myself as even my lips wi
"Hey lazy ass get up, we are already late" shouted my human alarm clock, and I jolted up instantly, Alia was surprised that I was up so soon, but she didn't guess why it was.Today is the day that I wanted to repeat many times in my life, I will enter that level-up competition, and the main thing that was giving me a fluttering type of feeling was that Nira will be my partner.I can't believe that this is happening to me."Come back from that imaginary Castle, even if she is your partner, she is not trustable at all, so please be careful...!" sniffed Alia, she understood, Was my reaction so obvious that even Alia was able to understand?"Ahem...! I wasn't thinking about anyone...!" I grunted I can't show her that side of mine, she is still a kid, one year smaller than me."Oh...shut up, everyone on the campus except for that dump, Nira knows that you like her, you idiot...!" I was shocked to hear that, Was I that popular?It felt a little embracing to express that directly before my
As we saw down the cliff we were standing on, there were ten different partitions, " Candidates please enter the partitions according to your cultivation method," it was announced and mine was the same side that I have been to, though when I was here with the system, there weren't any partitions. Everyone was ready to get into the part they belong to, and I was striding toward mine,"Come with me..!" I heard someone calling me, I turned around and it was Nira, it was the first time that she ever talked to me in these three years. Her tone was annoyed though.Is she angry with me? I actually don't need her help...!"Is this part yours too?" I asked her because if it wasn't, I want her to leave me alone, and take care of her task.She looked at me with a disgusted gaze ever and annoyingly answered, "Yes...!" her reaction made me uncomfortable, I liked her from afar, but I never got a chance to get close to her.She was annoyed, of course, she will be because my father created a scene
