Chapter 04

Lucas choked badly as he ran out of air and lost consciousness.

"Hosts Found, system Activated." A voice says in his head as a blasting Ray fires out from his eyes, with a force pushing him out of the sea.

"Ahh!" He coughed out painfully as he throw out water looking around his environment before he See's a cute Robotic creature walking to him.

"Wait what!?" He said as he rushed away watching as they creature enters his mind, and leaves at the same time, yet still running towards him.

"What are you?" Lucas asked as he picked up a stick pointing it at the Robotic creature that vanishes.

"I'm called System, I have no name." It replied to him with a masculine voice.

"But You're in my head Why, what really are you?" Lucas asked feeling like he was running mad.

"I am called System, a classified technological being who is now part of you... I will guide you on how to use your powers to play real life games that you have always failed so if you need me... say System." His mind replied to him.

"System!?" Lucas stammered.

"Leave, get out of me! I am not some robot you could use!" Lucas shouted, like he was possessed.

"But you need me." The Tech creature replied.

"I don't! My son is meant to be home with his cat, Veno!" Lucas began crying as he shouted back in frustration, denying himself of his tech system.

"Nice name, you can call me Veno." His mind replied to him and He smiles.

"Fine, now I think I'm crazy, leave me." Lucas Maniac-ly begs as he turns looking into the sea.

"Okay sure." The little cute tech creature attempts to leave his mind but Lucas felt a hideous pain that caused his neck to twitch and spine to crack.

Lucas fell Flat to the Floor.

"System is a Life's chance for you to replay your life like a game and win definitely... The more you level up by doing all the things I tell you to do... You will gain points and new Powers, together with great abilities till you have successfully finished playing the system game like an Urban God... If you still want your family... This is your chance to Accept me or die." Lucas learns more about the voice in his head as blood bled out from his nose.

Lucas saw as his hand muscles tore into two, bleeding out terribly, before his stomach ribs broke out from his chests and it hurt so bad that he spat out blood, holding to his breathe.

It felt like he was dying again.

"You have been chosen and given a second life for your bravery and sacrifice, to carry the powers of a System Gamer, for this urban world is now yours!... We need each other." His mind who had accepted Veno to be its name said to him.

"Without me, you will die, we need each other." His minds voice explained as Lucas began to lose his consciousness again.

"System, Veno... Help, Be my Master, help me, please." Lucas lets out his last words.

He now could tell that the being in his head saved his life and without it - He would have being suffering from many body damages caused as a result of the bus crash down the cliff.

"System Activated." Lucas heard the voice respond in his mind as he jerked up, seeing how healed he was as a greenish fire burned out from himself.

"Hence, in this life... You must level up or your enemies will bring you down." His mind said as Lucas noticed that the sea waters were rising as he began levitating like a god into the air.

He watched as lightning wrapped itself against his body, and it felt like he could understand everything about his powers at once but still unable to control them as he wished.

He now understood what his system meant... Life was now a game he needed to play to earn points to give him powers to control these elements but Lucas couldn't help thinking about his son.

"Where am I?" Lucas asked him.

"Thanks for naming me, You're still in New York City, Mr. Lucas Aaron." The voice responded to him.

"My son!" Lucas panicked with a traumatic fear as he begins to look around.

"You need to calm down Lucas, he's at the hospital." His mind's voice replied as he stopped in his footsteps looking back at the city.

"How do you know?" He became inquisitive.

"I know everything." The voice replied to him.

"Finally, maybe I can protect my son now." Lucas said using his hearing abilities to fly at lightning speed towards where his son was.

He soon landed in front of a hospital.

Then used his powers to scan where his son was and found him.

He was choking... Alexandra needed help!

"Help! My son!" Lucas shouted running to his patient room with his heart pacing.

He rushed into the hospitals patient room where he saw his son of whom he got separated from.

"Alexandra, I'm here... Daddy is here." Lucas broke down as he wanted to hear his son's voice so badly.

"Daddy, I'm hurt..." Alexandra cried out and Lucas mourned but was still full of excitement to hear his son's voice as It relieved his pains.

"Daddy, I love you too... Promise me, you will always be my hero?" He said, holding his fathers face to himself with a cute smile.

"I promised you." Lucas said looking at his damaged state, hoping his son survived the multiple gunshots he had received.

"Dad, I want to tell you something about Uncle Sermon … But I can't see you anymore." Alexandra panicked as he began to react, showing an intense fever coming over him.

"Promise me you will be strong and you will stay with me, Herbert promise me." Lucas said to his son and he nodded a yes looking for his father's face.
