Marcus awakened by the help of a terribly annoying squeaky yet familiar shout.
A woman sat closely next to him is worriedly shouting his name even though his eyes are clearly opened.
The golden system is still Infront of him hovering above him phasing through the woman.
As he takes a better look at the women he is taken aback and confused
"Jakirah..?"
He asks utterly confused on why and how she is sitting infront of him.
She responds flustered "Hey.. Marc, long time no talk.."
Jakirah, Marcus's Childhood friend, a family friend, and Marcus's first ever crush. Her family travelled overseas 12 years ago for work related reasons and for the important reason of traveling across Europe.
12 years is a long time alright, enormously long if you ask me.
"Yeah long time.. How are you here..? I thought you were traveling Europe with your family.." He asks with slight hesitation.
She answers clearly distressed "Oh.. Auntie Jaz never told you the news..?
Confused Marcus falters "News..?"
Startled, then disappointed she mumbled "My family Marcus.. They're dead."
Dead? Did I hear that correctly she sounded too calm saying that, No way.
Marcus inquires tensely "dead..? as in 6ft under dead..?"
Jakirah responds coldly most likely offended by the obvious and bad joke "Yeah.. Marcus Dead..." She ends the sentence and stands up lifting her bag off the ground.
She states "I'll be taking my leave now since your alright, I thought you were dead, if you're taking drugs I suggest buying them from a better supplier" Leaving in a hurry she scoofs.
damn I didn't mean to come out that mean
I forget to ask her where she would be staying
I have to apologize to her first though that would be nicer.
Marcus focuses on the system Infront of him.
[THE VON SYSTEM]
Von? I'm sure I heard that name before.. well it doesn't matter.
Marcus of course questions reality itself as he's literally staring at a hovering screen that he deduced only he could see it.
stats? opps? missions and a shop? those are easy enough to understand.
He tries clicking in the screen.
[SHOP IS LOCKED] [500 FLOW NEEDED]
Flow? is that supposed to be a currency
He looks to the bottom left of the screen the words can be seen:
[FLOW:0]
So that's what It meant by Flow
He tries clicking on it, A small menu is opened in the middle of the screen.
[FLOW CAN BE EARNED BY COMPLETING THE GIVEN MISSIONS] [THEY CAN BE EXCHANGED IN THE SHOP OR USED FOR INCREASING STATS]
Well whoever made this made an effort in explaining it quite well.
He closes the small menu by pressing an X on the top right of it, and opens up the missions tab.
[MISSION ADDED] - [APOLOGIZE TO JAKIRAH] (+250 FLOW)
shit how do I that? I have no idea where she lives.
hold on, what if I call her?
I remember her parents texting me her number a couple years ago.
yeah I'll give that a try.
He takes his phone out of his pocket.
Not the newest Iphone but it gets the job done.
Alright.. Jakirah Jakirah...
Yes! Here it is .
He presses on the call button.
ring.... ring... rin-
A young woman answers "Hello..?"
Marcus answers confidently "Hey Jakie, It's me Marcus, I'm sorry about what happened before, I wasn't in a good state of mind earlier it's totally my bad."
Jakirah responds calmly "Yeah.. it's no problem, it was nice seeing you again Marc.."
[MISSION COMPLETE ✓] [250 FLOW HAS BEEN ADDED]
Marcus accidentally exclaims "YES!!"
Jakirah confused giggles "Your still as funny as you used to be."
Marcus responds flustered but tries to not be weird "Um.. yeah, it's still me."
Jakirah continues to giggle at his odd say of humor and says "That was a good laugh Marc, I really appreciate talking to you again, let's talk again later just set the date. Anyways I have to go help my uncle move my luggage I'm staying with him now.."
Marcus responds "Yeah it was good talking to you too!, I'll be sure to drop by sometimes.."
She hangs up the phone after both of them say their goodbyes.
Yes!! I got 250 trust let's check out what I can use it for.
He opens up the Stats tab
