THE SYSTEM
Chapter One: The SystemTahir was walking down the hallway when a fat boy with short red hair, standing a few meters from the stairs, shouted,"Hey freak, try not to fall, as people without ability are keen to die easily!"After saying his taunt, Tahir remained calm as he looked at the fat boy. A wild smilespread across his face as he raised his middle finger and said, "I didn't remember asking for your advice."Enraged, the fat boy produced two blue flames from his hands and hurled them straight at Tahir.Tahir, used to pain, awaited the fire to collide with his body. However, he felt a cold feeling.Raising his head up, he could see a tall girl with white hair.The girl slammed her feet on the ground as an ice slab rose from there and took the hit. Noteven a scratch was seen on it. Raising her hand, she created an ice spear and hurled it at theboy.The spear was inches away from the boy's face, as if a force was holding it. The boy was sweating profusely. He could see death standing right in front of him. He couldn't believe a girl could make him this scared. "Please don't kill me," he said while falling on his knees."Stand up and leave," the girl barked at the boy.The boy scurried away. Turning to face Tahir, she could see his face void of emotion. He wasn'tscared, nor was he surprised. Stretching out her hand for a shake, she said, "I'm Zahra, sorryfor what happened..." She didn't finish her words when Tahir muttered, "Thank you," and hurriedaway.Zahra was left speechless as Tahir hurriedly left.On his way home, Tahir could see a lot of students exchanging home addresses, While the lovers were holding hands. The only thing on Tahir's mind was how to get home and continue on with his inventions.On reaching the emptiness he called a home.He lives in a one-bedroom apartment. How he got here is a very long story. The room has enough space for his bed and a desk for reading. Around the corner is his reading cabinet. Though they are all old books, they are very important to him. Oneof the books he was reading was "The Pinnacle of Death." Opposite His reading cabinet was a large desk with lights on it, his inventions were all spread out on the table. His TV is mounted on the wall. He usually just uses it as background noise and a reading light.After finished eating, Tahir hopped on his bed and turned on the TV, at least for its solepurpose, background distraction. With the sound coming from the TV, he felt less lonely.Upon turning on the TV, there was an ongoing news report. A war bell has Been sounded."The peace treaty with the damn Aliens has lasted for over 6 years now, and it seems the alienswant to breach the agreement. We are to prepare for another war..."The mention of war has been everywhere, ranging from commercial stores, schools, hospitals,and even radio stations.It all dates back to around 20 years ago when a certain race appeared on Earth, demanding ourresources and demanding that we turn ourselves in, the humans refused and a war kicked in.A war that nearly caused the extinction of every human on Earth.This unknown race which arrived on earth has no record from where they came from thus earning the name "Aliens" they also have the physique of a human with scales and tails.The war was so intense that everyone was asked to join regardless of gender, sadly Tahir both parents got enlisted and sent to the war front and didn't come back Alive, leading to Tahir not knowing what his parents looked like.Just when the humans were on the brink of extinction, Some certain humans who were born with or given special abilities came forward to share their knowledge with others. They began sharing.how they obtained such powers in the hopes of turning the tide in the war, and fortunately, itworked.The Aliens found the humans' new power growing stronger hence requested for a peace treaty.This treaty give the human enough time to prepare Incase the was a second way, the humans have also been keeping tabs on the Aliens and found out they were up to something, thus leading to the establishment of a military academy, an academy where you will be trained with an ability, an academy which solely purpose was to create an army.Tahir was lost in thoughts when his doorbell rang.Standing up Tahir headed to the door he opened the door and saw nobody there, all he saw was a package and letter on the ground. Picking both up he headed inside to open it."I wasn't expecting any package and I got no friends so who could possibly send this? Either way I gotta open this up." Tahir said to himself.Upon opening the letter he saw it was a letter from the military academy 2nd division. Congratulating him on his application been accepted to come to the school.Congratulations Tahir.We are pleased to inform you of your application, it has been reviewed and you are successfully accepted to our prestigious academy. A tough and entirely new life awaits you. Prepare yourself young lad as a van would be coming to pick you up tomorrow. We await you in our prestigious academy. Signed: Military academy division II."Uhmm, I didn't remember requesting to go to any military school. All I wanted was to become a beast hunter and earn a living. Sigh I guess I just have to go with the flow"."Time to Open the box" Tahir muttered.Opening the box Tahir found a writing on a piece of paper, the funny thing was that the writing looks like it was written with blood. The writing says proof you are from the bloodline of the Tahirs, chant the family Motto.With that Tahir started."Fear is the beginning of weakness, anger is weakness. Control the two and you would become unstoppable. Anger can be controlled to strength, dispose of fear as it is useless".After chanting the exact words, the paper was starting to fade as it was replaced with a bright light. Immediately the light shone Tahir passed out.Waking up Tahir was feeling some slight headache, rubbing his head he could hear voices in his head.Feeling confused, he checked the box again. This time he saw a word on the box, the words written was system.Immediately Tahir pronounced those words a tab pop up right in front of him.[User: Tahir][Race: Human][Level: 1][0/100 exp][HP: 10/10][Strength: 10][Agility: 10][Stamina: 10]"Holy shit" Tahir muttered.Immediately voices in his head murmured wow at the same time.He saw an arrow indicating he could swiped to his left. Swiping the tab sideways the skill section pops up.[Inventory][Currently not available, unlock at level 5][Skills][0 skill points available][Skill locked????][Skill locked????]But they are all blurred. Why are they blurred? Tahir asked, when one of the voices in his head replied"you are supposed to pass quest to unlock them dummy, haven't you played games before or you are just naturally stupid"? The annoying voice in his head asked."Chill he's just anxious no need to be harsh", the other voice intercepted on behalf of Tahir.Tahir swiped sideways again and the shop tab popped up right in frontof him, just like the others.[Shop][Unlocks at level 10]It was also blurred out.Just when he was about to give up, Tahir saw an icon with a number one shining on it and swiped sideways again that when the quest tab popped up.[Quest] tab.Finally, it seemed like a tab that wasn't locked behind a requirement.[Main Quest][Reach level 10][Daily Quest: Survive the sunlight long enough][Reward: 5 exp]"So let me get this straight this system is like a game where you complete quest to earn XP then once you get 100 XP your level evolves, impressive" one of the voices said."Who the hell are you two?" Tahir yelled in his head."Allow us to introduce ourselves..."."Just shut up I don't need any introduction, just leave my head" Tahir interrupted."I'm afraid that request is impossible.""What do you mean it is impossible?""Let me break it down for you kid, we ain't going anywhere, and just so you know we were never interested in getting known we preferred how we were hiding, but it looks like your system thingy screwed with your head, so you see kid it all your damn fault.""Ohh so you blaming me now? You guys are bothering me" Tahir screamed in his head.Tahir was busy arguing when he heard a car honk outside."Wait, it 's morning already? How long did I sleep after passing out?" He asked no one in particular.Packing his inventions and tools in his backpack Tahir was set to leave.Opening the door and he was meet with a military officer who was a large, muscular, bald-headed man wearing a black military uniform, signifying theearth attribute. There were several medals on his garment. His name was written on the area ofthe uniform right above his chest - 'Sergeant Bill.'"I'm sergeant Bill and we have been waiting for you since, soldier".Upon stepping outside and the sun rays hit him, a prompt popped up.[Your body is being hit by direct sunlight][You are affected by the sunlight][Your vampire nature is kicking in][All stats will be halved while you are exposed to the sunlight]."What,? doesn't that make you a vampire?"One of the voices in his head asked out.Ignoring the question, Tahir noticed a change in his body. His entire body felt as if he ran a marathon rice with a bull on his shoulder all through. His legs were so heavy he could hardly walk .HP 5/5][Strength 5/5][Stamina 5/5][Agility 5/5]"What kind of drawback is this?!" Tahir wanted to scream out, but he was still aware that he was no longer alone.He was still staring at the screen as another notification appeared.[You have received a new quest][Daily quest: Avoid direct sunlight for 8 hours][Reward: 5 Exp]."Now this is getting interesting," Tahir said to himself with a smirk.Tahir's mood changed as soon as he saw the new daily quest.He was walking forward until he reached the bus in front of him, just then something came to his mind.He Realized that he didn't recognise any of the students. That could only mean that they had all come from a different school and a different city. He felt a little relieved. With these new people, maybe the bullying would stop. Since nobody knew him, he had a chance to go away from the bullying and a chance to live a normal life.He opted to sit at the back of the bus, away from the crowd. And since it was the only seat that was still available his request was granted. The screen popped up in front of him immediately as he sat down.[Stats have returned to normal]It appeared that avoiding direct sunlight meant his stats would instantly return to normal. He was happy about it, since his body felt alive once again. As if new and raw energy was injected to his body.The students were all anxiously waiting for sergeant Bill to get into the car."Alright, it's time for us to head to the military academy," he announced, signaling the driver to begin their departure.The bus jerked to life and started to move. The students were finally on their way. There was silence in the bus throughout the journey as they really didn't know each other.About ten minutes into their journey, the pop up screen came up again, and Tahir received another message From his system.[A substance in the air has been detected][Poison detected][You are feeling sleepy][System building resistance against it][Resistance +1][Your resistance to the substance has increased]Tahir found this message quite strange. So, he tried covering his nose until he felt as if the whole sleeping gas was dumped on his head, not allowing him to breath well. unconsciousness is starting to creep in."Not another passing out again", he said before falling unconscious.THE ASSASSIN"Do you think he will survive there?" a man covered with hood was asking his assistant who was also dressed as himI'm sure he will after all he was a trained assassin, he is also the replica of the devil himself.Let's wait and see how it goes. The hooded man answered his partner, let's also keep in mind been an assassin doesn't mean you could beat some gangs of ability users. Considering his power level, he is going to be bullied.I think you're also forgetting he left as one of the strongest QI users to ever exist in the dojo, and I'm sure he's going to grow much stronger. the hooded man's partner replied.It's time to go, the hooded man signals.Just then they both disappeared into thin air.In an empty white spaced void, Tahir could be seen looking at two people who looked purely alike with him, one was sitting on a swivel chair while the other was standing.Who the hell are you two? Tahir asked the two strangers who were intercepting in his void.We are your conscie
THE TESTOnce the five students heard their names being called, each of them began to make their way towards the sergeant, who was waiting for them in front of the crowd.Aside from Tahir and Kris, there was another boy in their group. Kelvin looked to be the most nervous among anyone there. He was physically shaking and avoiding not yo be in the front nor the back,A small frame with scruffy Gray colored hair, he was not much for physical attraction, more like someone who had gone through alot of bullying because he was weak. walking up to him was Kris, putting his hands around Kelvin shoulders, he was assuring the guy not to be afraid of anything as here was safe.The other two members were both girls. Esha had long black hair and a short figure, she also had a small body frame, a true epitome of beauty, while Zahra, on the other hand, was the type of girl whose beauty turned necks. She had a tall statue and a body frame not too big and not too small, and she had long silky hair with
Pending QuestLeaving the test room, Tahir and his group used the teleporting machine and appeared in front of the admission office where they were handed some key passes. "Welcome to the academy lads, don't let your power level discourage you, you can only give up when you are already at your limit till then keep pushing. That was what the admission officer told them before dismissing them, Tahir and Kris where In the same room, upon opening the door they met Kelvin in the same room too. "Hey you in the same room as us?" Kris asked kelvin.Yes, they told me we would be staying together. Kelvin replied.That's cool, I wonder how the girls are doing, Kris asked.Tahir wasn't participating in their discussion, from his observation Kelvin was just too scared to Interact freely with people, might be as a result of bullying, while Kris is just some dude who loves girls, and jokes a lot.Hey kid, why are you making a mental note of your roommate? Shawn askedAnd why should I answer you?
PENDING QUEST 2"Quest Pending ?, So as far as the quest isn't completed there is no reward, I think I better get to finding them, before the system penalize me"Coming out of the rest room Tahir saw two people hurled him into the restroom back, right in Tahir face were the two bullies, suddenly a weird smile was starting to form across his face."You think you can just Interfere in our playtime and just walk away?" One of the bullies asked."Walkaway?, Who told you guys I was walking away? The teacher saved your guys lame butt, ohh wait, your two really thought you could beat me?"Tahir said before erupting into a laugh."What up with this level 2 creep, you think scaring us and acting all strong would save your life right now?There are people in this academy who you ain't supposed to mess with. One of the bullies was talking.Just when Tahir was about to talk back he saw one of the bullies running right towards him with an ice dagger, Tahir moved in very fast as he hold the guy and s
FIRST CLASSStepping outside, Tahir was hit by the fresh air, taking in everything that just happened today, it all sounds like a dream to him. The sound of the system notification reminded him it was a dream.[Daily quest completed][Quest reward:10 Exp][60/100 Exp]The notification alone was giving Tahir excitement chills."I think the system gave me one stat then"."Should I input the stats to stamina? Or strength. While lost in his thoughts, Shaw interrupted."I think you should allocate the point to stamina, the reason being that you are already a little bit strong now, plus enhancing your body with Qi would let you be faster than most humans and stronger, on the other hand, you will need stamina to use Qi a little bit longer".Thinking about the possibilities Shaw just mentioned, Tahir can't seem to agree less.I must admit You are very smart, unlike the other guy, but I think as time goes on we will keep the scale balanced. Tahir said.Sure I agree with you too, Shaw said.Pff
First class 2Tahir smiled at the girl as he waved to her.Sitting beside Kelvin, Tahir noticed Esha was acting strange or rather angry.Not understanding why or how, Tahir wanted to check his progress, to see how far he is leveling up, immediately he muttered the system, and the interface popped up.[User: Tahir][Race: Human][Level: 1][70/100 exp][HP: 10/10][Strength: 10][Agility: 10][Stamina: 11][+1 stats]This is progress, let see how today will end with the daily quest.Walking into the class, was a middle aged man, who introduced himself as John."My name is John and I'll be taking today's class about the Beast”.Our first topic is beast weapons. Before we start, how many of y'all have weapons here. The teachers asked.Only the new girl raised her hand, in hope Tahir will raise his hand too."Come forward please, tell the class your name and what beast weapon you possess".Currently all eyes were on her, when she pulled out her sword from her storage ring."Wow, she has a
Too StrongMan this system keeps getting better, Tahir mumbled to himself.Getting in a fighting position, Tahir attacked with his swords, using speed and strength Tahir moved at such speed that the whole class was surprised.I know something was off about this kid, the teacher cursed as he tightened his grip on his sword and slammed his feet on the ground to gather momentum to tank Tahir's attacked, as the swords clashed spark was been seen, Tahir not ready to give the teacher breathing space spun his body in a weird way as he went in for a kick to the teacher side, who in turn blocked the kick using his free hand, jumping back was TahirIt was clear the strength in power as Tahir was panting, while the teacher stood perfectly fine. moving again Tahir swung his sword but before it could reach the teacher, a surge of energy Burst out of John's sword which slammed Tahir to the wall.Shit he caused under his breath as he went again, this time with the help of qi Tahir saw the next attac
Level upStanding on a tree and watching all her activities was a mini drone, created by Tahir.“For some reason she has been tailing us, I need you all to be on alert at all times”. Tahir told his friends.“Here I was thinking you were flirting with her, " Esha said with her face flushed.“Flirting?, With her? Ewww. I can't possibly think of that, I know she was bad news from the start.”Sensing the discussion was swaying to an uncomfortable zone, Zahra decided to chirp in.“When are we starting our preparation for the forthcoming beast hunt.I'm sorry to say but we are one of the weakest groups on the ground, we got a level one earth user and a level two non ability user.Believe me your swordsmanship would be utterly useless against ability users.So you ain't gonna count, I'm sorry if I was too blunt Zahra said while maintaining eye contact with Tahir”.“It's nothing, I have heard worse, besides y'all shouldn't think I'm here to hold or slow you guys down.No matter what happens o
