The System : Mission Survival

Year 0001, The Imperium

" Huh!?!?!? "

Something appeared from my view, it was floating with words I couldn't read! I tried rubbing my eyes or closing them again. But there it floated as if its stares pierces at me like I am an idiot!

" What the hell is this? Am I dead? Did I truly die after all of that? H O R S E SH*T*!?* "

[ ... ]

---

[ S Y S T E M ADMIN : GREETINGS MASTER AUGUST! I AM THE ADMINISTRATOR OF SYSTEM CENTUURY ]

I was bewildered by the sound suddenly echoing through my head. The previous text was, well as you know I have no education I CAN'T READ! an illiterate.

As if it understood my previous reaction now this s. .sy.sy..tem? Can now speak! I must be truly be going mad now.

" Wh . whaa.t are you?"

[...]

[ S Y S T E M ADMIN : I AM YOUR GUIDE THROUGH THIS WORLD MASTER AUGUST. AS PREVIOUSLY STATED YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN BY THE GODS THE ONLY SURVIVOR OF MAYA VILLAGE MASSACRE.

AND I WAS TASKED BY THE GODS TO HELP YOU TRAVERSE THE DANGERS OF THIS WORLD. YOU WHO DIED FROM YOUR PREVIOUS WORLD SYSTEM AERTHE. HAS NOW BEEN REBORN AS AUGUST OF SYSTEM CENTUURY! ]

" What?!? I already died? "

[ INDEED, YOU COULDN'T REMEMBER ANY OF IT BECAUSE THE GODS HAVE LET YOU CHOOSE TO EITHER HAVE MEMORIES OF YOUR PAST OR BE A BLANK SLATE ]

"....."

---

After a long while of pondering, eating, drinking and shit*ng. I sat back on my fathers favorite chair.

* DEEP BREATHS *

" I'm ready for you now "

This system or whatever has taught me that I could indeed close the floating thing...

and if so I would wish to access it my mind would automatically do so.

" System..."

[ YES MASTER HOW MAY I HELP YOU ]

"..."

I still couldn't believe this thing is speaking to me. But oh well let me use it for my sanity.

[...]

As if it read my mind... silence, again.

" What should I do now? "

[ GREAT QUESTION MASTER, FIRST I WOULD RECOMMEND SECURING YOUR SELF ]

" What do you mean by that?"

A rather vague answer from something cold and unemotional but is intelligent?

[ S Y S T E M : MISSION SECURE THE ENTIRE MAYA VILLAGE FROM PREDATORY BEAST ]

[ REWARDS: Minor Reward - SLIGHT INCREASE ON BODY CONSTITUTION AND MENTAL STATE, +1 ]

[ Major Reward - UNLOCK YOUR PERSONAL PANEL ]

[ TIME LIMIT : INDEFINITE ]

My body glowed in colors of gold and blue after receiving the system mission.

My mind ran through a lot of questions but none were answered.

[ G O O D L U C K MASTEEERRR..... ]

The system as if it shut itself down from my consistent pestering left me annoyingly.

It expected me to do this mission of his/her? I couldn't tell the from the voice it was at times like a teasing old man and sometimes a cold hearted beautiful woman!

Whatever it is! I wanted to gobsmack its face with my fists!

[ . . . . ]

" Oh?? You can hear my thoughts huh? You want to play coy with me?!??!? Like your some deaf wierdo?!?

[ . . . . ]

---

I remained seated for a while looking at my mission panel.

Oh well, there is nothing I could do though I am a powerless ten year old lad.

After sleeping through the night eating through whatever I could find down the basement.

---

The next day, it was almost noon when I woke up too tired and still a bit bruised. Surprisingly though my recovery rate has gone up. A beating and wounds like that could have been really bad.

As I gained a miracle. Hmmmm could it be?!? It can't be right that th..thing is too cold...

[ . . . . ]

I ate through the last of the dried meat. Before deciding what to do today. I wanted to do something productive.

After eating my meal for today

I had made my mind up. I walked out the door to see if there are still preadatory beasts around.

I could barely walk now, but I must push through and look at the overall state of the village.

Maybe I could find something to do in this sh*t hole of a place.
