Chapter 4: First Boss, Killed

Jin's POV

Now that I think about it. Where the heck is the item I acquired being strored? Hey system, where is my reward?

[Are you referring to Andromeda?]

Who's that?

[The sword]

Oh, is that my reward?

[Yes]

Where is it?

[In your inventory]

Where is my inventory?

[Inventory:

Andromeda]

How can I acquire it?

[Reach for it]

What?

[Reach for it]

I tried grabbing the text, once my fingers touched it a sword came out.

"Jin, where did you get that?" Eva asked.

"I-inventory" I said.

"Really? You have an inventory?" Ashley asked in excitement.

"What about it?" I asked.

"You're joking, inventories cost a billion gold and you have one. I wouldn't be surprised if you can pay mom's bill after we get out of here" Ashley said.

"Jin, we need to talk" Eva said and grabbed me. She brought me in a distance, far enough that Ashley won't hear us.

"Why have you brought me here?" I asked.

"Yesterday you just said you don't have money, and now you own an item that costs a billion!?" Eva said. Uh-oh, what will I do if she finds out about the system? Not that it matters but, she can call it cheating right? "Have you bought an inventory and spent all of your money on it?" Wait, what?

"Hoo, I thought you would accuse me of something... I-i mean no, no I mean yes!" What am I saying?! Damn it!

"You useless piece of-" Eva TORTURED me.

"Oh you're back!" Ashley said "And what happened to you?" I'm killed.

[Ha ha ha ha ha]

Are you laughing? Even you?!

"Where's the boss?" I asked.

"Just beyond this door" Ashley said pointing on a gigantic door.

"Let's go and finish this quickly" I said.

"What happened to your 'ooh, I'm scared' or 'save me'?" Ashley teased.

"Just be happy that I already have courage and I'm stronger than before, ok?" I replied.

We entered the gate of the dungeon boss.

"A giant swamp, no other living creature, only one gigantic frog" Eva said.

"I have already deployed my bunnies, they found the Silver Poison Toad, at the middle of the swamp" Ashley added.

[User, would you like to use Andromeda?]

[If you will use Andromeda]

[Your skill, Heavy Punch, will be change into Splitter]

[Splitter is the skill tied with Andromeda]

[Would you like to use Andromeda?]

That would be helpful. Also, punching toads grosses 9me out.

[Andromeda has been used]

[Removing Heavy Punch]

[Splitter Equipped]

Good. Now let's do this.

"Eva, can you make the toad come out?" I asked.

"Don't worry, I got it" Ashley said then her small bunnies came running from the swamp "Be ready!"

Then a giant toad jumped from the swamp, extending it's tongue eating Ashley's bunnies.

It's time to test the new skill. Andromeda, don't fail me.

[Jin used Splitter]

"Yes!" I shouted with joy and pride! At last, I did it! I cleared a dungeon!

"Yeeeeeeees!" Ashley cheered.

"Hurray!" Eva jumped in joy. It's our first time, the three of us. Clearing a dungeon with just the three of us.

Woah, many changes. If I keep this up, I wonder what will happen? Can I really become strong? Help my family, and help the weak to also become strong.

"Jin, now we're on the same level. I worked hard for half a year to reach level 10 and you've just... Rose in just a day... What the hell happened?" Eva said.

"I guess my desire helped me" I explained "My desire to help"

"I guess this wraps things up, let's get out of here. That toad stinks" Ashley said and the three of us went out of the dungeon.

"Jin, I'll bring Ashley home. You should head to the hospital, your mom's bill is due today" Eva said. Ah right, but how much money do I have?

[1st Quest Completion: 1,000]

[2nd Quest Completion: 30,000]

[Dungeon Bounty: 10,000]

[Total Gold: 41,000]

What the f. I can pay the bill!

"Ok, take care Eva... Especially you Ashley" I said.

"Yeah yeah, just go already!" Ashley replied and both of them left.

I went to the hospital and paid the bill. The system really helped me. I never heard of a talk-back system but whoever built this system, I give my thanks to them.

Now that I think of it, system is a very bland name. Hmmmm, let me think of a name.

[You will name me User?]

First of all, just call me Jin.

[Jin]

That's right. Now, for your name. Do you like Ella?

[Ella? It sounds like a princess, I don't like it]

So you don't like to be a princess. What about... Helen?

[Helen. A girl's name that can bring chaos, I don't like it]

You're quite choosy. You don't like to be a princess nor a being that can bring chaos. What about... Xandra?

[Xandra. Like a rare fragment, the missing gem but I'm a complete being.]

You don't like it. Elsa?

[No]

Candy?

[Absolutely Not]

Lyn?

[Too common]

Beth?

[Sounds like a cow]

Eula?

[Not common but also not unique]

What is your favourite letter?

[Favourite letter?]

[What is my favourite letter?]

That's right. Even if you're a system, you must have a favourite.

[Jin, what's your favourite?]

My favourite? It would be 'I'. It can mean everything or nothing. It means yourself.

[Everything. Nothing. Yourself.]

[Then I is also my favourite]

Ok, so it's I. Ind- no... Iza-... No... Ah! Ive.

[Ive. I like it]

Now starting this moment, I shall call you Ive.

[Right! I'm Ive]

"Aaaaaaaaaaaah!" A familiar voice screamed "Cerberus!"

Cerbe- Who!?
