Chapter 19: THE AWAKENING AND FIRST QUEST.

" Little Fu!" Big Brother called as Futian was leaving with a black sword.

" Yes! " he replied in a low voice. His expression was not good and neither was it sour. It was just too complicated.

" Keep calm! Always remember to stay calm."

" Okay!" Futian replied on knowing that there was more meaning to this words.

" Promise me one more thing!"

" Anything!"

" Promise that you will never turn in to a beast!" Futian stared with a puzzled look and anyways he accepted and promised him.

" I promise!"

Turn into a beast? Futian couldn't make sense out of it. Looking at Futian's complicated look, Big Brother smiled while shaking his head.

" I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously. Go to bed early."

" Okay!" Futian replied as he headed towards his room.

Letting all worries away, Futian closed his eyes as he laid into the hands of Morpheus.

" Do you think young master will be fine?" a man with bloodshot eyes asked another man besides him. If Futian was around, he would probably must have recognized him. It was one of the members of the Gang Luo Dao. And the other was Big Brother!

" Young Mistress had great plans and expectations for him. We can only help him this far! The rest of the journey has to be walked by himself."

" Young Mistress would be proud if she knew how far her son has grown." Luo Dao said.

" Has everything been arranged?" Big Brother asked.

" As per your arrangements General!"

" Okay! Let's get going?"

" Are you really going to leave like this?"

" It's the best way!"

" Okay!" Luo Dao said nothing else as they disappeared into the dark night.

............................................

In Futian's room, his head moved time and again as though he was experiencing a nightmare.

In his dream, Futian was standing in a dark room that quickly turn white. A white virtual screen appeared before.

<[ Would host like to initiate voice commands?]>

YES. NO.

Futian was standing in the white room with complicated emotions running through his mind.

Without thinking much, Futian chose the yes option.

<[ Initiating voice command option... ]>

<[ Voice command initiated ]

" What's the voice command?"

<[ Voice command is an option on the user interface that allows the host to interact easily with the system by just using his or her voice!]>

" What's this thing called system? Where is from? What does it do? How did it enter me?"

" Where are you from? Why did you choose me? Who made you?"

" How do I level up?"

<[ Host can level up by completing daily quests and hidden quests]>

" What is a quest? "

<[ A quest is a program that helps the host level up]>

Shameless system. Futian thought! I already know that. What I wanted to know is how it functions and operates. Can't you tell.

" What are hidden quests?"

<[ Information unavailable! ]>

" How do I complete a quest?"

<[ Host can complete quests everyday before next day! Failure to do daily quest will result into serious punishments. ]>

Punishments? I didn't ask for this kind of thing so why exactly are you punishing me? Can't you tell this is completely insane.

" Can I complete today's quest?"

<[ Would host like to initiate quest? ]>

YES. NO.

Futian chose the ' YES ' option without thinking much!

<[ WARNING!]>

<[ CANCEL OPTION IS UNAVAILABLE ONCE HOST INITIATES QUEST. DO YOU WANT TO PROCEED?]]

YES. NO.

Why are you asking so much? Just already start with the quest.

<[ Quest loading...]>

<[ Quest initiated ]>

Futian found himself in a disolated waste land with hot temperatures making him feel like he would melt anytime.

<[ Quest: Stay alive for thirty minutes]

Following that, the timer started counting down. Prior to that two large monster emerged from the sand.

They possessed a hot rough skin with smoke brewing from it. The head looked like that of a buffalo. Its claws were sharp like those of a lion and teeth like those of a tiger.

And soon enough! The beast did not disappoint as it began the temple run. The cat and mouse chase began.

The fierce looking beasts made Futian determined not to be caught. Who would love to hand his life in the hands of such fierce beasts. Absolutely no one.That gave one answer death. Having experienced death once, Futian never liked that feeling of helplessness.

Unfortunately, he found that he couldn't out complete the two beasts interms of speed and stamina. In addition to that was the hot scorching weather that left his feet bruised intensely. The pain he was facing was comparable to that of the nine rings of hell fire.

" Damn it!" Futian cursed as one of the beasts slammed into him sending him flying about a hundred yard away. Some of his ribs were broken causing him to scream in pain.

Looking at the count down, Futian could only curse louder. Only fifteen minutes had passed! How was he even supposed to complete such a difficult quest? Making it worse, he had to do it everyday. He thought of taking on the punishment instead of the actual test but immediately gave up such a thought! The punishment would surely be tonnes of times harsher than the actual quest. To hell with this so called system.

A few metres away, Futian spotted a rocky structure with an opening. Without further delay, Futian sprinted off even faster than when he was health to the peak and burrowed under it.

The beasts did not give up as they began slamming against the shelter. Futian cursed his bad lack. His bad lack though didn't disappoint him as the shelter showed signs of getting crumbled at any moment.
