[Getting the amulet will increase your chance of leaving this planet and fulfilling your mandated future here. You don't have all day here, host]
Her words sounded like a vice in his head. He was so surprised that he had a future here. How was that even possible? This seems to be the past and to make matter worst. It was a different earth, so how the hell did he suddenly had a future here without a pass life? It so insane!
He turned around, clenching his fist on the cell bars in frustration. He felt like dying right now. Because this whole mission shit was just wailing so much on him. He had never been into any missions before in his entire life.
To make matter worst. He was still that freaking scaring kid hiding in a jumpy adult body. He realeased his hands from the bars and sat on the floor, feeling like a toddler.
Mia should have be here. I can't really do this on my own.
Wait! Mia said, she had been playing this game for some time now right? That means, she must've been on missions like this too! She might probably have a system.
Fuck! Where's she? I really need to see her.
How am I even sure she will give me attention if parenventure I survived here and see her? She was pissed, disappointed and angry that I play like a jerk.
Fuck! I'm hell trapped here. I thought the system thing was an angel sent to save my ass; but damn! I never knew it was the devil himself, to make my life a living hell.
He bow down his head in dismay, clutching his head down to his knees as he laps himself on the cold dam floor. He really didn't know what to tell the system anymore.
Declining the mission wasn't an option here. She just said it would decrease his chances of getting out of here. What the hell was he going to do now?
I guess I have to just pump into the mission. Is either I die and perish in this hell sitting down or I fight the devil himself–who happens to be his system.
"So, how do I start on this….ummm mission thing?" He asked, still looking sheepish as he bow his head, mirroring the floor.
[Good question host! You have to find your way out of here first and then I'll guild you through with the map needed to reach the western part of Everia. From there, you can get to his castle, and steal his amulet.]
"Oh carb!" He muttered at the idea of the system. He was hell screwed up now. Getting out of here would be so difficult as to the fact that he didn't even know were he was currently.
Yeah, he'd know he was on a cage or cell as it were, but what kind of place was this cell situated? It could be on a peak of a mountain!
Was he still on this earth 503?
He was clearly on his own now. And the system thing seems to know everything about him.
"Okay, so how did you even enter my mind? That was weird." Jake posed, standing up to his feet, still glaring at the system hovering like a ghost before him.
[Well, I'm your assigned PA in your mission. I can assume any form as a computer vico system. I can become invisible and spank my voice in your head and I can also become visible, flarting my blobbing face before you.]
"You don't really seems to have a face, you know, so I wonder what kind of face you're talking about. And also, I assume you're a girl right?" Jake smirked mischievously. He wanted to be sure if the system thing had a gender or something.
[You're obsoletely right! I'm an artificial intelligence, colonized to accumulate the form of a female gender. I can also assume a male gender if you want.]
"Nah! That's okay, you can stick to that. Don't want things to get more awkward here." He said, as he spun around grabbing the cell bars again, looking straight at the dim walls in the other side. "You have name, right?"
[No! But you can call me System 2-0-9-7 or an AI. Or better still, you can give me a name.]
"Seriously?"
[Yes host]
"Okay, how about if I call you Mia?" Jake asked, turning around swiftly to face the system, in the attempt of seeing her reaction–if she would though.
The system paused for a while, as if waiting for some thing to spank on it. She seems to be analyzing something, maybe about the name jake just called.
[But host, I'd think the name "Mia" belongs to your friend on earth 503]
"Jeez! How the hell did you know that?"Jake asked, his eyes looking so big at the system. "Have you been sturking around me the whole time?"
[Not really host. But I'm design to read your thoughts at will. I have datas of your previous memories, right from when you where age six. Basically, I can choose to read your mind, anytime.]
"Fuck! How? I mean that's unfair! That's….. that's you invade into my privacy? Anytime? Seriously?"
[I'm sorry host. But I can't stop it. It was how I was designed to function with you.]
Fuck!
Jake stumbled back on the floor again. He felt like just tearing himself into two part, maybe four part, if possible. He was just so mad that all his secrets where already known by this stupid thing.
All my lies, weird flaws, silly mistakes, odds sacarms jokes, my awkward humiliations….shit! Even the memory of that day i got so pressed in my class and mistakenly poo on my pants! Fuck!
[Yeah, I remember that one too. Hahahahahaha!!!!]
The system let out a faint laughter, that sounded odd and full with mechanism waking Jake from his thoughts.
Shit! This thing really read mind!
"Are…are you laughing or what?" Jake asked, farrowing his eye brows in disbelief. He was just wondering if that was actually laughter. It didn't really sounded like it at all.
It was sounding really odd.
Or was she mourning? Because it sounded like she was mourning or something. It was weird honestly.
[Yeah, I was laughing. I still have the track in my library by the way. I can show you the clip if you don't mind.]
"What? Fuck! You have the video? Don't play it."
[Why?]
"Just stop, I'd mind. Don't play–"
He was cut short as the transparent screen before his eyes suddenly transformed into a video clip, like a CCTV camera. It was as if it was hidden somewhere In the class room that day.
He saw himself sitting at the back sit in the middle role. He was just three sit behind his crushed then–Jane. She still had that smiling poke face with her seducive red lips. She seems to be copying a note.
'Probably a maths note. She love maths. And she's damn good at it.'
His eyes turned to himself in the screen. He saw himself shifting uncomfortably in his sit. He could spot his sit mate then; max and biggy. They were asking him what the problem was. But of course he lied to them.
***************************
"I'm fine guys. Just worried about….ummm my pen." He lied as he stylishly folded his hands backwards, clutching the pen in his fingers. He then used his thump, pressing the pen against his fingers that he used in clinging the pen.
Crack!!!
The pen smashed into two in a matter of seconds.
"What happened to your pen?" max asked, his big eyes popping out at him like an owl.
Little Jake swang his hand and threw the pen on their desk. He put on a cold face looking so sheepish. But that wasn't the real problem. He was so pressed and it was just a matter of minutes for him here.
Running out would have been a lot easier, if only Mr Brad wasn't the teacher that day. He'd suspend anyone that live his class during lectures. And fuck! He was writing a test. He couldn't afford to fail it.
"So, is that why you have been shifting up and down like a duck searching for her ducklings?" biggy posed on him. He had this big face that looks like a pillow, with a chubby body.
He was almost occupying half the sit, himself. Jake and max always manage to sit comfortably whenever biggy was around.
"Ummm…."Jake squirt! Turning around, looking almost at everyone in the class. His eyes was just darting around the class till it fell on Mr Brad.
"What's the matter kid?" Brad asked as he dropped the marker at his desk. He raised his speck glasses downward to observe Jake weird behavior. He was shaking like a leave. "Why are you acting like a bomb was plastered in your back?"
The whole class burst into a round of laughter.
Brad was of Many things and insults was just one of them. He does that a lot. He knew Mr Brad would call him a silly name.
Jake got soaked with the embarrassment. His eyes flicked around to see if her crush was laughing.
Fuck! She was laughing!
"Nothing…. just…ummm.."
Brooooooom!
He fatted, making the whole student in the class clutching their noses with their palms. He turned and looked at his sit mate. But damn! They all ran away making the humiliation so tense on him. The whole class was literally laughing; his crush, friends and even Mr Brad!
********************
"Fuck! I hate that day." Jake muttered as the screen suddenly shot dark and turned back to the blurring ghost thing that called itself system. "I was only fourteen then. What was I supposed to do? Huh?"
The system kept on the laughter which just fueled Jakes anger. He was hating the system now.
What kind of system is this? Jeez!
[You where only fourteen? Seriously? Ha! By fourteen, you should know what a rest room is host.] She burst into another round of laughter.
"Okay, fine. Enough of this ummm…mockery. Can you also read Mia's mind? My friend."
