Amelia's turn

In unknown place

A woman woke up , fluttering her long and curly eyelashes to reveal a pair of beautiful and shiny blue eyes that shone like gems . She looked around to try and find out where she was , but in vain . It was so dark .

" Hello ? Anyone here ? " She tried to call out to anybody , but all she got was silence .

Suddenly , she heard the sound of someone groaning , so she followed the sound , although she couldn't see clearly .

" Hello ? Is someone here ? " She tried to get this person to talk , but the person was silent without any reaction , so she moved forward to try see anything or notice anything . What greeted her was a body of a man on the floor .

She immediately scooted down to check on him .

" Sir ? Sir , are you okay ? " She tried to shake him , but nothing . In a flash , she was pinned down on the floor .

" Who are you ? Where am I ? " The man spoke in a threatening tone , but she wasn't the least bit scared or affected , the only thing that grabbed her attention were his bright eyes .

She always loved the color red , but her mother told her that no one had red eyes , seems like she was wrong in the end , and the proof was right in front of her .

Bright red eyes that looked like rubies !

" Sir , calm down . I'm just like you , don't know where I am . I just woke up and found myself here . " The woman tried to talk some sense into him and that was when the man looked into her eyes with a piercing gaze that seemed to see through her soul .

That action alone made them stare into each other's eyes for what felt like an eternity .

The man didn't see eyes like hers before , so pure and attracting , but also had a bit of challenge in her eyes . He felt that he might get drowned in them and lose himself , but then he remembered that he had no idea where he was , and the woman was pretty honest , or so he thought .

She was honest , but his line of thinking brought him to a conclusion that she was a naive and innocent woman like a little girl lost in the forest with a mystery to solve , but of course , the Mafia Queen , can't be like that .

That's right . The woman was Amelia Johnson , while the man was Xander Anderson .

Suddenly , the place lit up and they could now see each other clearly , and both their hearts skipped a beat .

Xander never expected that such beauty existed while Amelia was surprised at how handsome he looked .

" Nice to meet you , masters ! I'm the challenge system , Alec ! " The voice startled both of them as Xander quickly let go of Amelia , stood up and both looked towards the source of the voice while blushing .

The voice came from a cute little boy , who flew like a fairy , he had short brown hair and big brown eyes , while his face was chubby and cute just like dolls .

" Aww ! How cute ! " Amelia immediately ran towards him and started touching his hair and face , " What an adorable boy ! "

Xander was speechless for a moment . Of course he knew that women liked cute things , but seriously , couldn't she control herself ?

" M-Master ! Please stop ! " Alec cried out . He thought that maybe they would be surprised or angry and kept demanding an explanation about where they were , but this never crossed his mind . Reality is truly cruel !

" Oh , sorry ! " Amelia came back to her senses and let go of Alec , while he sighed a sigh of relief .

" What did you mean when you're ' The Challenge System ' ? " Xander finally asked after the drama that happened .

" You see , I'm a system made by a scientist . This system uses comatose patients , like you two , and takes their consciousness to a world created by the system , me , then gives them challenges . It's just like video games , but here if you die , then you die for real . If you pass all the challenges , then you can wake up from your coma . " Alec explained while having a serious expression .

" What kind of challenges ? " This time , it was Amelia's turn to ask .

" Defeating monsters , and such . The challenges will be given according to your actions and decisions .

As I said before that this world is like a video game, there are also NPCs and ways to gather coins , but you may find some people you know inside .

This world is the same as the one you know in appearance , but there's a little touch that made it close to a fantasy world . You know what I mean , and you'll understand more when you experience it . Oh , and there'll be rewards after each challenge , like asking a question , requesting a weapon , etc ... " Alec explained in a detailed way .

" I see , then where are we now ? " Amelia was pretty curious about this , after all , she could imagine how sad her family felt when she got into a coma , and would really like to wake up .

" Like any video game , you should fill more information about your character before you proceed . Like your appearance , your username , etc ... We'll start with you , Master Amelia . choose you appearance and name first . " On cue , a mirror appeared in front of Amelia with a screen beside it filled with space for the name , under it choices for clothes , and then profession .

" You can't change your features like hair and eyes , only clothes . About the profession part , there are different types of people her since monsters appeared , a swordsman , mage , tamer , etc ... But you don't choose your profession , it chooses you . " Alec continued .

" O-Okay ... " Amelia was so nervous . Is this really happening ? No one ever said that a comatose patients had such weird things happening in his head .

Xander on the other hand , wasn't thinking about this . He was just wondering why would the two of them be chosen ? No matter how hard he tried to think about it , no answer came .

" My name will stay as Amelia . As for the clothes , I choose ... umm ... this ! " Amelia tapped a certain set of clothes and her body started shining immediately , startling both Xander and Amelia . When the light disappeared , Amelia was wearing the set of clothes that she chose .

" Cool ! " Amelia was pretty surprised by this system and its efficiency . Alec smirked secretly .

The set that Amelia chose was specially prepared for her for reasons she'll see in the future , it consisted of a dark red crop top with a leather black jacket on top and a black leather short that can change to long black leather jeans , if she wants .

It also had a sword that comes with it as a part of self-defense which made Amelia choose it in the first place .

She looked pretty good in it with her brown hair flowing down her shoulders and her blue eyes stood out with the help of the blue crystal earrings that came with the set . As for the shoes , leather half-boots with the black color fitted right into the combination . This set required no make-up , as it's whole purpose was to make the person wearing it unnoticeable with its black color .

Xander was still pretty cold about this matter . All the emotions he felt earlier weren't noticed by Alec and Amelia since he still kept his poker face .

" Time for the profession to choose its owner ! " Alec was pretty excited as he wondered what kind of profession would fit his Master .

Amelia took a deep breath and pressed on the button that was labeled as profession . Seconds later , two words appeared shocking Alec .

" W-What ! How can this be ?! "
