Chapter 7

"Well, you are welcome to stay with me if you want," Mark replied and Ramon looked at him.

A part of him wanted to say yes but then he hated being indebted to anyone. "I will manage on my own. You have tried and helped me enough." Ramon replied almost in tears

Mark looked at him and felt sorry" I am sorry I couldn't protect you, Ramon." he said apologetically and walked away

Ramon tried to lift himself out of the wheelchair but landed on the floor. He shouted in anger hitting his hands on the floor.

He heard his phone make a sound and picked it up in anger. He was about to throw it at the wall but he saw something that made him topped. The light flashed toward his teary face making him stare at the screen like he was seeing something impossible.

Ramon kept staring at his phone and didn't understand what was going on. And suddenly, he felt a sharp pain to his back. Ramon let out a shout of pain. His eyes bulge as beaded sweat formed on his head.

He cold feel his bone making cracking sound and it looked like it was coming back to place. The pain was too much for Ramon and he passed out as the phone dropped from his hands. His eye lid closed slowly as he saw

[ SYSTEM TASK ACCOMPLISH. MOVING TO THE HOST FIRST TASK]

Ramon's eyes shut.

Ramon woke up the next day and found himself on the floor. He tried to remember what happened to him but he couldn't. Feeling a severe headache, he remembered he was now crippled and couldn't lift himself off the ground.

He felt a sting in his leg and noticed it was moving. Ramon looked at his toes as they moved. "Am I dreaming?" he said slightly moving his toes. Feeling an energy coming to his back, he sat down and he was amazed. Ramon felt scared at first and was not sure what was happening to him. "How is this even possible?" Ramon asked himself as he soliloquy.

"Yesterday, I was brought back from the hospital. Mark bade me farewell and..." Ramon did remember again

Suddenly he heard his phone ring. He looked beside him and saw the phone had a weird funny cartoon right in front of it.

Ramon laughed seeing the instruction and what he was asked to do. "Is this even real? How a system heal me?" he said funnily and he looked at he corner of his phone with a timer on it.

Ramon feeling he had nothing to lose immediately started to play the game. After about thirty minutes, another message came directly from the system.

Ramon's phone went blank again and he was puzzled. "Is this all a joke? Why is there a lot of rules to keep up with by the way?" he asked himself ad looked at the wall clock dangling right in front of him.

Ramon quickly got inside the bathroom ad had his bath. He carefully combed his hair and put on one of his clothes which he believed to be the best. After he was done, he sat down and thought for a second. if the system was real and the money was real, he could change his fate and have his revenge against Xavier for what was done to him.

Rain knew he had to keep his walking a secret for a while and make sure people see him as a weakling and a loser. He knew Mark was definitely going to come and have him carried so he decided to wait for sometimes. He looked at his phone for an alert message and nothing was poping up. Ramon remembered he had managed to a sum of $32,000,000 and wondered if he system was going to be true to it word.

He heard a horn outside his gate and he immediately sat down on his wheelchair. Mark waled in and saw he was ready. "Don't tell me you get dressed yourself." Ramon smiled looking at him, he could see he as surprised and wondered how a boy crying could suddenly become happy over night.

"Shall we?" Ramon asked seeing Mark was intrigued by his change of attitude. He was carried In to the car and they zoomed off heading towards the university ground.

Many of the student were anticipating and wondered if Ramon was going to show up but they were surprised when he got down from Mark's car.

"Why is Mark being nice to a cripple? He is a nobody." one of the student said and walked past them.
