what is it?

"what do you mean? this is the first I'm speaking to you. how can you say we were inseparable when I don't even know you?" said ash.

Erin's face darkened a little as he looked at the boy in front of him, the boy was a very important friend to him but he couldn't remember a thing. What was he supposed to do in this situation?

"Okay then why don't you tell me how far back you remember." said erin. Ash didn't question him, and tried to remember his past.

Things were fine until he reached back to his 7 year old self, he felt a sharp pain which ultimately made him incapable of remembering what happened to him when he was 7 years old and the years before that.

Ash was a bit surprised about a few things like how did erin know about the gap in his memory that even he didn't know about? or if what erin said about them was true?

Ash did not have any time to dwell on it as the bell rang a few seconds after that. For the last 3hours of school, ash couldn't stop thinking about what happened at lunch. Little did he know that was not the only surprise for him that day.

As soon as ash got home he instantly felt that something was amiss. This wasn't something like danger or anything like that he jut felt like something was around. Ash decided to go ignore it since there couldn't possibly be something in his small apartment.

Ash woke up and soon realized that he had seemingly passed out when he got home. He was still in his clothes with his backpack on his back so it was obvious that he had done it unintentionally and also his face hurt.

Ash got off the floor and started preparing to do his work he was a smart kid so it was not difficult or anything like that, the work was just time consuming. Things were going okay but the same feeling ash had earlier was back and before he could do anything he heard a voice.

[hidden quest complete]

Ash clearly startled by the voice, jumped off his bed and into a corner of his small room. "who's there!" said ash while looking around frantically. There was clearly no one around except himself.

He soon realized that voice was in his head, with how loud he heard it, it would have echoed in his small room. He calmed down a little after this thought.

His mind very quickly returned back to the voice he had heard before it was a robotic voice that sounded a bit distorted but it was clear. The voice sounded like it had another two to three voices over it as well.

[two points aquired]

Ash wondered what the two points would be used for but he didnt have to keep wondering because a few seconds later he heard the voice once again.

[status screen]

[Name: Ash Valentine]

[Age: 15]

[gender: Male]

[level: 1]

[agility: 1]

[strength: 2]

[skills: out of body]

[points: 2]

[locked]

Ash was amazed, he had accepted that whatever was talking to him was some sort of system which led ash to wondering what more the system knew about him as well as all other subjects.

Ash looked at skills and he saw the skill, "out of body? what even is that?" said ash. The voice hadn't spoken again after a few minutes so ash just went back to doing his homework.

He finished in a few hours and by then it was 7pm a little later than usual but not by much. He still had time to make his lunch for the next day and he did just that, he slept at 9pm.

He woke up the next day feeling refreshed which was very unlike him considering the fact that he went to sleep later than normal. He quickly noticed that he was covered in dirt.

He realized that his dream, maybe wasn't a dream after all. He could vaguely remember running through some kind of farm land so what was on him was soil, not dirt.

[weekly quest: 4 miles daily]

[should you fail to complete you will get punished]

Ash was surprised, the voice heard was not the same as before. The voice was a deep soothing voice and could instantly calm anyone down.

The voice was talking smoother and was more human like and ash appreciated that a lot. "again who are you? you're not the same as last night"

The voice replied with a chuckle "well you don't seem all that surprised to have a voice in your head". Ash thought about how to answer the voice, he decided to just be blunt.

"well I'd rather accept what's happening instead of being in denial but you too why aren't you the same as the voice from last night?" said ash.

"I assure you me and the voice from last night are one and the same. Last night was just a test essentially" said the voice.

"Alright then do you have a name? I'd rather not have to refer to you as Mr voice or something ,whatever you are" said ash.

"you can call me uriel" he said. Ash scoffed a little and said " did you name yourself that?". To which uriel replied with "of course not, who in their right mind would name themselves after an angel?"

Ash paused "you're more reasonable than I thought, you're more human than I thought. I expected you to be like the systems in those manwha".

"look I'm a system but I'm more human than most humans if I do say so myself, and I'm more like an assistant, sure I'm not going to sound like this all the time, like for quests but I'm still here whenever".

"I have one more question for you uriel, well it's two. Can I respond without have to verbally say it and am I the only one who can hear you?"

"yes you can answer in your mind and no one else but you can hear so rest assured, you won't be looking like a psycho talking to yourself" said uriel.

"gee thanks, it's not like It'd be your fault of it did in fact turn out to be that way" said ash. "you're going to be late you know" said uriel.

Ash looked at the clock and turned out he had wasted a full 20 minutes just chit-chatting. Ash started getting ready quickly.
