QUEST.

After recalling what had happened to him before he lost his head, he disclosed the event that had occured, to Jin and Kevin who were keen on listening to the interesting occurrence. Although Jack disclosed what happened to the boys, he was discreet about the system which he could control with his mind. It was nearly impossible to find humans with systems, so he decided to keep the system part a secret for now, well until he could fully trust the boys.

Wait, that means the book has got to be an ability book, Jin said as he placed his hand on his well chiselled chin.

But I don't feel any different, Jack tried inspecting himself to check if their was any possible change in regards to his body.

That would have been a possible explanation, but his watch hasn't changed its number.

Jin quickly takes a look at Jack's wrist watch which still displayed zero on it.

Then what could it possibly be? Jin furrowed his brow while looking even more confused than he was before.

Jack can't you contact your Grandpa it would save us the stress, and he would explain the situation better.

Hah, Jack gave out a slight chuckle while putting on a wry smile. That would be a problem, Grandpa doesn't stay at a place cos he's usually busy with one thing or another so he moves a lot. He usually doesn't pick up his calls and only visit when he wants. So calling him now won't help at all.

Your grandpa's really something. I guess we'll have to figure things out ourselves, it would be interesting to observe you closely for some days. Maybe when we are done with the first year I would like to meet your Grandpa he is truly a genius and am sure we would be able to rub minds together. if he doesn't meet us we'll have to find him. Jack you are one to watch, and I'll keep a good eye on you. Kevin said with a cold but interested tone.

Jack, we may have only met each other today, but Lex seemed like a pretty cool guy. I'm deeply sad about what happened to him but I have this feeling in my gut that we can still help him, and I only plead with you to let me help you in any way I can. Jin spoke genuinely sad.

I guess I was wrong about you guys, I believe I can count on your help. I believe theirs a way to free Lex as well as get answers. If you guys truly want to help our best shot would probably be finding my Grandpa.

Jack remembered a notification from the system, he quickly thought of summoning the system, and it popped up. He looked through the notifications before he found the specific one he was looking for.

Their...

{LEXIUS HOPS FUSED}

What does the system mean by that? He asked himself curiously. He tried thinking on getting more information on the notification, and as he did it expanded.

{LEXIUS HOPS FUSED: The individual has been merged to the system due to disturbance in system set up, as a result all stats have been doubled. The individual can be set free temporarily by the system holder using the UNFUSE skill}

Hmm, interesting.

Jack explored the system before seeing the skills list. Just as he did before, he thought of getting more info and it expanded revealing to him different system skills.

{SKILLS}

[UNLOCKED SKILLS]

[DELUDE]. [SCAN]

[ENERGY .B.]. [QUICK FEETS]

[LOCKED SKILLS]

[POWER GRIN]. [MELTDOWN]

[FUSE]. [UNFUSE]

[ENERGY ORB]...

Whoa, this is seriously cool that is excluding the part where I absorbed my brother. Jack thought to himself. Thanks to the system he was learning to conceal his thoughts in his head rather than blurting everything out.

He quickly turned off the system as he focused on the boys who were waiting for some kind of reply based on Lex's situation.

Guys I know what happened to him. It's kinda crazy but I think Lex is inside of me.

Dude we know you absorbed him but don't you have a more believable explanation. I mean how are you even sure. Jin asked doubting Jack, while Kevin just stood as he starred at Jack for more details.

Damn, why is that so hard to believe. We live in a strange world where people have different capabilities so why is this one any different. *Sigh* I guess I'll have to be honest about the system. I can't lie to them forever not if I want their help.

Hey Jack, are you gonna explain more or what. Jin said folding his arm while looking dreadfully at Jack.

Well..... it seems you were right Jin, i have something like an ability, and I can tell Lex is connected to it.

Jack still did not want them to know about the system so he decided to tell them it was an ability of some sort.

An ability that allows you to absorb people, hmm strange cos in all my time researching and studying I haven't come across something like that. Maybe that's the reason the watch can't identify your MC CELLS .Kevin said while holding his chin.

Yeah, that might be the reason.

Jack said as he tried to convince them.

Neither have I. It's only getting more interesting, dude that's dope. You might be the only one with such an ability. That's kinda cool and am kinda jealous. Jin gave Jack a few pat on the back as he complimented him.

Damn Jin that feels more like a slap than a pat. Jack spoke under his breath.

He explained a few things to them concerning Lex, but replaced the system for his make up ability. Although he decided not to tell them about the system skills because he was yet to use them, infact he left out literally almost everything about the system just telling them Lex was safe and was only absorbed via his ability.

For now I don't know how to free him, but I think I'll have to develop more.

20 MINUTES LATER

The boys had concluded the discussion, and Jack regained full strength. He had also decided to clean up the room alone since it was partially his doing. Both Jin and Kevin had agreed to let Jack tidy the room on his own,as they had both quickly left him to go continue their normal activities.

Being alone Jack saw it as a perfect opportunity to check out the system. He thought of the system, and it popped up right in front of his face. He had checked the system skills, so he went to check his stats.

{STATS}

{BASIC STATS DOUBLED}

[SPEED: 18].

[STAMINA: 20]

[STRENGTH: 16].

[BRAIN WAVE: 18]

[ENDURANCE: 24]

{ADVANCED STATS}

[LEVEL: 1]

[MC CELLS: 0]

[EXP POINTS: 0/20]

[SYSTEM POINTS: 0]

[STATS POINTS: 0]

Damn, it's like being in a video game. But I think the system is a bit harsh in calculating my strength, I my look weak but am plenty strong. I wonder what those system points are?.

Immediately he thought of it, it expanded revealing more information regarding it.

[SYSTEM POINTS: System points are special points allocated to the user after successfully completing quests, and after every level up. The points can be converted to EXP POINTS which would help the user level up, or they can be used to unlock certain skills.]

I think am starting to love this system, just hope they ain't much drawbacks related to it.

After taking a good look at the stats, he went to the next system package.

{QUESTS}

[DAILY QUESTS]

[SLEEP 8 HOURS PER DAY - 5 EXP]

[STUDY FOR 2 HOURS - 5 EXP]

[EXERCISE 20 MINUTES - 5 EXP]

[MISSION]

[NIL]

[NIL]

[NIL]

Ok, this has definitely got to be a game system. The daily quest are quite easy, I might be able to level up faster than I thought. This system is really cool.

Jack did not notice, but a smile was slowly creeping on his face.

That's all for now, it's getting late and I haven't even started cleaning, and I've got classes tomorrow. I need to get started if I want to sleep for eight hours.

Standing up from his seated position, Jack went to get a broom and some garbage bags. Before he left the room, he received a system notification.

What could it be. Opening the system, he saw a quest notification.

{QUEST RECEIVED}

[CLEAN UP THE ROOM BEFORE 10PM - REWARD 10 EXP]

Whoa, my first quest. Wait what's the time.

Jack went out to bring in the cleaning agents as well as check the time.

It's already 8:28, I've got less than an hour and thirty minutes, that's enough time to clean up the room. Ive got to get those points.

Jack quickly went into action. While cleaning , he was amazed how fast he had become. I'm two times as strong and as fast as before. That's really a good boost. Due to his improved stamina, he hardly got a hint of fatique while running about keeping things in order.

After less than an hour Jack had completed the quest, and he was rewarded for it.

{QUEST COMPLETED}

[REWARD - 10 EXP]

{EXP - 10/20}

Damn, this system is great. At this rate, I'll be able to unlock the UNFUSE skill and free Lex. Now that's done I need to go rest my head.
