'What the fuck?! Isn't it telling me that I will die anyway if I don't become a player?! That's a scam!'
[3.....2.....]
'Oyyy! Fuck, I will die that way and I don't want to risk it. Either way I will die and with that pain still hitting me like a boulder, I'm in no room to think clearly, so better do this as well.'
[1...]
'Oh shit, yes I will become a player damnit!'
[Congratulations, you became a player]
[The reward of your quest has been delivered. You could check it in your inventory]
Once I saw those two messages, the pain in the body to subside and slowly I began regain all strength, my headache disappeared as if never existed and now I could think clearly.
Breathing a sigh of relief, I laid there on the floor taking some deep breaths to calm myself down and rest for a bit before I began getting up on my feet.
Finally, I could stand up. Hahah yes.
"Finally it ended." I said noticing that I was speaking normally again.
"I can speak properly, haah it made me feel so powerless not being able to talk properly." I said with another sigh of relief before I felt shiver running down my body. I looked at myself to see my clothes were damp with sweat making me feel sticky and uncomfortable, so I decided to take a bath first to clean myself then think about what had happened then.
20 minutes later....
I went back to living room now wearing a pair of white t-shirt and shorts with steam still coming out of my head as I had just finished bathing.
Ahh it was so comfortable that I wanted to sleep there, well I still have things to think about that I didn't want to sleep until I figure them out, like that system maybe?
I sat on the comfortable couch and leaned my back on it while looking up at the ceiling.
"System." I called out.
[...]
But I didn't receive any response at all. I thought if I called it it would respond like those systems in fanfics or novels, but my hopes were down as it didn't speak a word.
Or even show anything.
Thinking about something else, I decided to ask about the reward and how to access the inventory.
And surprisingly, it responded.
[The reward is for completing the quest: The Dreamer isn't a Dreamer.]
Yeah I know that.
[And to access the inventory, you can say 'Inventory' out loud or just think about it. The same goes for the status as well.]
Oh, that's easy to do. So, I thought about the inventory because I didn't want to appear like a chunnibyo or something, it embarrassing you know.
Once I did it, a new window appeared. It had a total of a hundred blocks with once block occupied. This was the reward of of previous quest.
It appears as a gift box tho making you excited and curious about what is inside. A surprise.
So, how to open it? Maybe I have to click on it?
I didn't so but my finger just phased through it, so the only option was doing it by my mind and it actually worked. From the novels I read, if the first method didn't word then try the second.
As simple as that.
However, once I clicked on it using my mind, it opened revealing a dazzling light in front of me but it didn't hurt my eyes or make me want to close them.
The light was gold and brilliant.
Once it disappeared, a message appeared in front of me.
[Congratulations! You've earned the following rewards:
1- Body Strengthening Potion
2- Basic Swordsmanship]
Oh, such good rewards for a mission I didn't even know what I did to complete it.
A dreamer isn't a dreamer. Such a strange mission but I could relate it to the dreams I've been having since my parents died. Yeah, maybe it's that.
Because there's nothing else to relate to except this.
Anyway, now I received my rewards, I should also take a look at my status.
So by that thought, I said status inwardly and another new window appeared in front of me. This time it depicted numbers that explained my strengths.
Name: Tristan Crowley
Race: Human
Level: 0
Attributes:-
STR: 7
STA: 6
AGI: 7
INT: 10
DEX: 7
SKILLS: NONE
The status window was simple and easy to follow not complex like those I'd seen seen when reading a fanfic or a novel with the concept of a system.
Each number explains an attribute and I think I don't need to tell you what STR means and and the other abbreviations, right?
Because most of us if not all had seen them and knew them too well especially those who play games a lot.
After looking again at the status window for one last time, I closed it and felt a little sleepy, so I decided to go to bed and sleep for tonight, tomorrow I will think about the rewards, especially this body strengthening potion, the name explains itself but I still need to know what it does to the body, but now.
Just, let's go to sleep, that's enough for today, especially after what I went through.
So, with that I ended the day and went to my bedroom and slept as soon as I put my head on my soft comfortable pillow, totally forgetting that my school bag was still at the entrance where I fell down.
Anyway, let's sleep~
Next day...
I woke up feeling refreshed and at ease, I felt like I'd been rejuvenated. I hadn't felt that feeling for a long time, maybe since I began having these dreams.
And now that I think about it, I didn't have any dreams today. Was it because I completed the quest so those dreams had ended and wouldn't come again?
If that's so, then this is a good news tho.
Finally, I got ride of those damn dreams that kept appearing everytime I slept!
Then, suddenly I remembered something.
"What time is it now?" Quickly, I took my phone that was on the bedside table and looked at the clock in it just to see if was 7:50.
"Shit, I'm late!"
Immediately, I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to take a quick bath that last 5 minutes total.
Yeah, that's quick. Then wore a new set of clothes because the other ones were soaked with sweat from the previous night and didn't have the change to wash them.
Anyway, after changing, I made a quick sandwich and sprinted toward the school as fast as I could.
I was late and didn't want the teacher to scold me for it, it's not good.
After finally arriving at the school and going straight to the class, I found the teacher was already there and had started the class.
I could only apologize and go to my seat. The teacher didn't scold me though and just told me not to be late again.
But somehow, this teacher looks so familiar, like I've seen her before. Is she an anime character or someone I met in the past but forgot about?
Ugh, it's so confusing.
Just then, a virtual window appeared in front of my eyes distracting me from the class.
I looked at it and felt excitement rushing through me.
[The road to being the strongest is hard and full of hardships but must strive and walk through with all your might. Get ready player, for your journey has just begun.]
Huh? What does this mean?
Then another window appeared.
[The daily quest has appeared, go and complete it for daily rewards.]
[Quest conditions: 100 Push-ups — 100 Sit-ups — 100 Squats — 10 Km run]
Wow, so the legends are true.
The Saitama rigorous training that turned him from zero to god-level.
Will I become like him if trained like that for 3 years?
[Failure in doing the daily mission will lead to a penalty. Be careful Player]
Oh!
