Chapter 6 Unknown World
Luis felt like his head was going to fall off, the sun was shining brightly on him and the scorching heat was burning his skin.
[ System revived]
"What?"
Luis was confused, first, he didn't know where he was and now a screen was in his front.
[ Welcome ]
[Your system has been activated]
[Would you like to see your profile?]
Luis was confused by the numerous messages that were popping on this screen now, what was going on?
"Profile ye...."
[ Name: Luis Miles ]
[ Race: Human ]
[ 5/5 HP ]
[ 0/100 EXP ]
[ Level: 01 ]
[ Gain EXP to level up ]
[ Complete tasks to gain EXP ]
[The first task, consume only vegetables for the next twenty-four hours]
Luis was confused with everything that was displayed on the screen now, what did it mean by level up? Was sort of thing was this?
Maybe he was dreaming, he slapped himself to clarify that, but now he wasn't dreaming he was wide awake.
The screen had disappeared now, but that wasn't his main worry now, where was he? this place looked nothing like Asaka the ground felt rock hard and there was no earth, he saw box-like objects passing by, they were moving very fast that he wondered what they were, he also saw gigantic buildings, the ones at Asaka were nothing compared to the ones he was seeing now.
"What is this place?" Luis stood up while holding his head, he had a headache.
[ 45 HP ]
[HP has dropped ]
[ Fill your hunger and rest ]
Great, now he had something else to advise him apart from his brown book, speaking of the brown book, where was it he looked around him to see if the brown book was there but there was no sign of it, the screen was still there, as he looked at it once more it disappeared.
Just how was he going to fill his hunger and get rest when he had no idea of where he was?
Luis had nowhere to go, he staggered out on the highway road, he had no idea of where he was going and didn't realize that he was in great danger, he tried to cover his face from the harsh rays of the sun.
Suddenly a car was approaching him, he didn't know what it was, the last thing he heard was a man screaming and then it was lights out for him.
"I think he's waking up" he saw a girl looking at him, where exactly was he?
Luis quickly jumped up from the bed, he was on a hospital bed.
"Who are you?"
The girl didn't look a bit scared, she was about his age and seemed to be the only one in the room.
"And who are you?" she turned the question back to him.
Luis was surprised, he had never seen a girl, with such a tough approach to situations.
"Luis" he cursed himself for answering that question first.
"Well Luis, I think you should sit down and stop acting like a primitive person"
"What's a primitive person?"
"Oh God," she slapped her face, who didn't know the meaning of primitive? Unless of course a primitive person himself."Where are you from?" now she was the one asking the question.
"Asaka" he mumbled, she immediately burst into laughter.
"What's funny?" he asked, he didn't find the name of his kingdom to be this amusing.
"Sit down" she ordered and Luis quickly sat down on the bed, she spoke with a sort of authority that seemed to compel him.
Then she walked to him until she was standing in front of him.
"Now tell me, where is this Asaka?" Luis watched her mouth as she spoke, now that she was this close to him, he could see that she was a real sight to behold, she had short blonde hair, with a pair of light blue eyes to match them, her lips were painted light pink and soon Luis found himself staring at them.
"Are you even listening" she slapped his cheek lightly to call back his attention, she knew he was staring at her, but it didn't bother her, she was used to men ogling at her, but Luis wasn't ogling, he was wondering how something so beautiful could be so tough up to the point of intimidating him.
"Tammy stop intimidating him" a man was standing at the door now.
Tammy, so that was her name.
"I'm not intimidating him" she grumbled and quickly walked out of the room, walking past the man.
"Sorry she's just like that" the man turned to Luis after watching Tammy leave."Are you okay now?"
Luis nodded, still trying to get a grasp of things.
"Would you like to eat anything?"
Luis nodded and the man left.
"I'm sorry I didn't get your food preferences" the man rushed back into the room."Do you want meat, vegetables, or both?"
Luis wanted to say both, but then he remembered the task that had been given to him, he was curious to see what would happen if he completed the task.
"Vegetables" he muttered.
"Ok then," he said and left.
He was sure he had said that to himself, how did he hear it? It didn't even sound like he said anything.
[ 3/ 5 HP ]
[ HP will keep dropping until your hunger is filled ]
"Don't worry I'll eat soon"
"Who are you talking to?"
He saw a little boy standing at the door.
"Nobody"
"But you just said, Don't worry I'll eat soon"
What was happening here, how were these people able to hear the slightest of words said to themselves?
"I was talking to my stomach" he lied.
The boy walked closer to him and started to stare directly into his eyes as if he was trying to check if he was lying and for some moment Luis felt tense, no Luis he's just a little boy, he tried to look tough.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked straightening his face.
"You are the one looking at me" the boy hit his chest.
This was going to be tougher than expected, even this little boy was tougher than him.
"Ray leave him alone" the man had come back and he was carrying a tray.
For some moment there, Luis felt relieved, then the boy turned to him with a glare.
"See you later Luis" his glare turned to a smile and then he walked off.
If Luis was confused before, now it had turned to something more, how did he know his name?
"Here," the man said, handing Luis the tray, there was a plate on it."What's your name?" the man asked.
"Luis" he answered dropping the tray on the bed.
How was he asking him that when he just heard Ray say it?
"Enjoy your food Luis," he said and started to walk off.
"Sir" Luis called him back.
"What's your name?"
"Greg and those two kids are my children"
"Why are you helping me?"
"I knocked you down with my car, so it's my responsibility to take care of you for now," he said and with that, he left.
Luis was still confused, he didn't clearly understand what he meant by knocking him down with a car, but he was glad that he had someone to take care of him for now.
He opened the plate to find only vegetables, back at Asaka he didn't really like vegetables that much, but it was what he ordered, he started to eat the vegetables and he was surprised by how they tasted way better than the ones he ate at Asaka.
He finished everything in no time and then grabbed the glass of water, he was fascinated by this type of cup that made it possible for you to see your water before drinking it when he was done drinking the water the system appeared again with another message.
[ 5/5 HP ]
