Wtf is this he almost fell over his feet, he subconsciously stretched his hand over the floating translucent window, and to his surprise it went through like nothing existed, again, again, after trying several times he finally gave up.He rubbed his eyes, is the earlier coke broke his brain or something.
He looked at it again carefully, this thing seems to be not real, because he looked around his environment which now completely dark, only barely illuminated by the far away street light, but the unknown screen seemed to be glowing blue, but there nothing to indicate that a light source is present here, let alone a glowing screen.
Anyway this thing seemed call himself some kind of system it seem.The moment he mentioned the system a sound sounded in his mind.
"Yea host, at your service," he was startled by the sound again but this time he quickly accepted it."What are you some kind of alien tech," he looked around him nervously, "is it some kind of government experiment."
The same mechanical voice answered him, "my origin is unknown host, but rest assured it is not some kind of experiment."
What kind of mess he gotten into, he is just dude with an average IQ.And he even not sure if this thing is true or is just his hallucination, he decided to head home first and then think about it with calm mind tomorrow morning.
Next morning.
"System are you there," Elric asked in nervous voice, yesterday he was too tired to think straight.So he almost took the matter too lightly, whatever the thing is, his life definitely won't remain same as it used to be.The familiar display from last night popped up again.
"Yes, host I am here.""Can you explain what is your ability.""As you wish, you can use system fund, but you have try your best to lose it.""What do you mean, what kind of weird rule is this."
"Anyway host there is only two rules that you have to follow.When you are buying something with system funds you have the intention of doing business with it. You can't buy a crap product with a sky high price, and then sell it, it has to be reasonable.And you can't give this money to someone, or can't use it to your personal gain.You will gain 1 attribute point for losing every billion dollar."
"What do you mean, billion dollar, how much money do you have.""It is ultimate host." And almost like sensing Elric's distress it continued, "you don't have to worry host, it is all legal with tax paid, so you can use it however you like it."
"That aside what this point is used for."
Suddenly the text changed to a status display.
Elric WillsVitality: 13 (peak human: 20)Spirit: 13 (peak human: 20)Remaining point = 0
"Using this point you can enhance your vitality and spirit to breakthrough the human limit.""Like can I become superhuman or something.""Yes as long you add point, you can indefinitely become stronger."
He was about to ask more questions but suddenly the telephone rang.He picked up the beat-up phone, and a harsh voice rang out, "Elric what the fuck are you doing, why are you not in the site till now, it's already fucking 9 A.M, don't you need this job anymore."
"Ye, boss I don't need it anymore." Elric replied in a very casual voice.The other side of phone seemed to did not expect the answer, he fell into a silence."Wait, what, why, did you get better job, Elric don't do this, you know recently many people left the site we urgently need more staff, man even if you want I can increase your pay."
"Boss you should know why everyone left better than anyone, anyway I am not coming back, so good luck," and without any hesitation he put down the phone.
A breath of sigh of relief, it does not matter if this thing is real or not his life is bound to change, for good or bad, he have to figure this out before doing anything.So he picked up a light coat and went outside, "let's test it out if it will be a sweet dream or a nightmare."
