My Triling System

Chapter Five: A System?

A few moments later, Kevin had woken up but he was sweating profusely and his head was throbbing in an immense pain. He sat up and waited while his eyes were closed, for a bit and then after a few minutes, he opened his eyes. The headache had reduced a little and then, Kevin started taking in everything that had happened previously. He remembered himself healing miraculously but he had fainted due to an inner energy trying to enter his body. But what caused all this? 

That was when Kevin remembered the golden ring, he checked his left middle finger that he had last seen it but to his surprise, the ring wasn't in his hands. He checked around the floor and corners of the room but he could find nothing. 

"Where the hell did it go? I didn't remember myself taking it off, so it must be somewhere in this room." He rose up from the ground to check the table but the sight of what he saw made him flinch.

He stared at the mirror that was in front of him and saw something different in his eyes and ears. 

"What is this? An elven ear?" Kevin said as he touched the elven ear that he now had in replacement for the once human ear. It was really an elven ear, he now have an elven ear. But that is not all, his face... they look more handsome and different from before, it was like he was an elven prince as his blue elven eyes sparkled just by looking at his image.

"How did this all happened?" Kevin thought as he ran his hands through the long black hair that all elven would always have. Everything about him has changed, he looks different and he felt re-energized. He didn't feel weak like he used to feel when he was still an human. But something was surprising him, how did this happened? Is this the ring's doing?

While Kevin was lost in his thought, a sudden flash of memory had came to him. He remembered an image displayed to him, in the image was something written has system but he actually don't know what it is.

"System? What is it?..." As Kevin made mention of system, a notification tab had suddenly appeared right above his face. The notification tab was like how a computer would display specific notifications and informations to the user.

Kevin could see this notification tab and he could remember vividly that it was the same thing he had saw while he collapsed on the floor.

"What could it be?" He wondered before starting to read what was written on the notification tab. He was thinking that perhaps the system was trying to tell him about what it is, so he started reading.

< Congratulations, you have been granted the Triling System >

"Triling System? What is that??" 

< Displaying the user's information >

< Magic(s): None [Get twenty Ruby gemstones to unlock your first magic] >

"This is a kinda crazy, isn't it. How could I have no skills or magic. Heaven knows how I'll even level up at this rate. I wouldn't even be able to obtain any crystal because of my father."

Kevin looked around the room he was in, there was no sign of gemstone or anything, so he kept on reading the other informations that the system had, thinking maybe he would see something better. He moved over to the stats tab.

< Stats >

< Speed: 10 >

< Agility: 10 >

< Stamina: 10 >

After reading everything that the system had to offer, Kevin just had to think of the notification tab and think of it closing and then, it had closed based on Kevin's thought.

"I think it's working with my mind."

Kevin gave it a try again as he thought of the system opening up and the notification tab had popped up in front of him. He then thought of it closing up, and it had immediately disappeared out of Kevin's sight.

While Kevin was busy testing out the system, a notification had suddenly appeared right in front of him.

< Congratulations, a new skill has been unlocked >

"A new skill?? But I thought I can't unlock it unless I complete a quest or leveled up."
