Rise And Revenge: The Revenge Of The Billionaire Player

Chapter 9

He takes some step closer and discovers that it's a Built-in solar microchip Apple watch, an imaginary watch which was designed by the famous inventor, Lusik Preston, two centuries ago to be invented under the light of futuristic tech knowledge. This watch was going to implant microchips into a human lasting for as long as the individual wanted it to, this would give him super knowledge to conquer in any facet of life, the invisible microchips which would go straight to the brains of an individual after the activation button. For the watch he pressed, it would also be able to increase the physical capabilities of the individual above that of any ordinary human. It could make one a superhuman within seconds but tasks need to be completed to achieve this level up. 

To many it was a joke, a mere imagination which could never come true in the real world and the funniest part of it was that Preston said that only one would be produced in the entire world and that person who would be lucky to stumble upon it would be the greatest of all time in whichever field he is. People attached much mockery to this statement because inventions couldn't just be one. 

Which invention is always one in the entire world? People always asked this question and Preston met with much criticism until he died. Wenton himself got to learn of this from a history book he read while in junior high school. He thought it to be a product of imagination and unreal until this moment. 

He is the lucky one! 

The object right before him matches exactly as the image of the watch portrayed by the nineteenth century technologist and inventor. 

"Wenton, you are the lucky one! The system requires you to lay claim to it. Press the red light button for activation." He stops, listens to the sound, it repeats itself again, this time around with a ding sound.

"You are Destined to work with the Built-in solar microchip Apple watch, take me along with you, I'll be your gateway to stardom." The symbol of a star footballer appears on the screen. He gets afraid to witness a non-living object speaking like a human being, with a human voice. How did it know his name? He suspects some magic to be playing alongside it. 

How would something predicted by a technologist two years ago appear right in front of him calling him by his name? 

He wants to be a star but not through some magical ways, he wants his capabilities to come naturally although he is not a talented player, he had acquired the skills he got before he started going down in football from training, he is destined to be a trained player. 

Not getting the whole scene before him, he decides to run away to escape this. From the novels he has read, systems do accompany one for a lifetime, once you activate a system to yourself, you would be under its power until you are dead. He doesn't want to associate with something that would change him from a normal human being to something else. Another known fact that scares him is the set of tasks required to be done and the penalty of not doing them which is always death. 

"I don't want to die before my time." Wenton knows that he is a human and can make mistakes at any time, besides he finds himself playing unserious with things he should be serious about. He imagines himself repeating this trait with the system's task, his life would just be cut short. 

The next available decision for him is to run away and he attempts to take to his heels as earlier planned but he can't lift up his legs. It seems like some invisible forces were holding on right to his leg, he can feel some airy pressure around them. 

"This might be an imagination," he reasons. "Let me try again, this time around I might be able to escape." It's at this moment he realizes what is just going on is far from ordinary. 

"If you want to leave this place, bend and pick me up!" It orders him. Having no choice, he bends and takes it off the ground, then there is a bit of force released on his legs. "Put me on your left wrist!" It orders again for the second time. Wenton pauses to think about this. 

What if as he puts it at his risk, he automatically activates it? What if this system is just not telling him what is going to happen when he places it on his wrist?

Thoughts like these among others burdens him. He wants to learn the truth about this as soon as possible so he doesn't end up making a lifetime mistake he would always live to regret. He gets reluctant to place it over his wrist as directed, hoping that the spell cast against his legs would leave him but it doesn't. He still can't lift up his legs or make any movement. After standing in this way for an hour, he decides to succumb to pressure and as he places the watch on his hand, buckling it up, the blue light disappears forming a straight ray and travels straight to his head. He tries to stop with his other hand and fingers  but the attempt fails since it's air. He starts to scream as some changes begin to occur inside him. 

His weak, human brain was getting upgraded to a computerized memory. 

"First mission successful!" 

"Automatic activation of System!"

 The system delivers a ding sound. 

"A number of tasks required for customized activation." 

"The user would have this system bound to him forever." 

A task button pops up on the screen of the watch. Curiosity causes Wenton to click on it. As he clicks on the virtual button, three tasks are displayed for him to choose one. 

Go back to your team and apologize! 

Kneel and apologize before your captain!

Deliver a speech online that would make the world give you a second chance! 

Reward. 

Activation of the system with your name and permanent bond. 

Penalty. 

Permanent degradation to a worst state and failure in whichever areas of life the user transfers to. 

He has thought that it was death but the consequences are even more than death, it's quite painful for him to go below where he now stands. What if he chose to leave football, he will still fail at whatever facet he decided to go into. As it has been mentioned, he would not be able to harm himself in any way no matter how intense the depression and pain is. He would have to live and bear the effects. 

"Your time starts now and ends in the next two hours!" 

"System would be automatically made to carry out the penalties shown in the case of failure to undertake the task."
