Jack Medallion System

chapter 4

Jack Harrison heart raced as he stared at the numbers and the strange stats on the screen.Strength, speed,Sonic boom. These were abilities he only knew from stories and video games but not something to describe a real person talk less of him. He also glanced at the words written below such as energy blade, night vision and super cloak. He had never seen such abilities like that in his life.

Jack Harrison tried to touch the glowing screen displayed as he was hesitating before waving his hand through the glowing screen but it felt like nothing but air, and though the text stayed intact.

"What the hell is this?" Jack Harrison said to himself as he his gaze was fixated at the door. Mrs Sophie had only left few minutes ago, unaware of the sudden occurrence.

Jack Harrison tries to focus on the words in the screen as he noticed that the numbers seemed to gauge some sort of potential and also list of abilities and equipment such as energy blade, super cloak and night vision which all sounded like a gear a superhero would use and not someone like him.

But as he was glancing at the names of the equipment he felt a strange aura like a power awakening and surging inside him.

He then remembered when he was at the farm and was ambushed by Finn and his guys. Which he ended up receiving beatings that almost ended his and made him passed out for hours and maybe that awaken something inside of him he didn't know it was there.

Was this part of his identity or he accidentally awaken something he didn't know he had within him? Or was he dreaming?, all this thoughts was running through his head then suddenly the screen appeared again and more words appeared this time with a message.

MISSION: REST FOR 8 HOURS

ABILITIES: TO BE UNLOCKED

OBJECTIVE: AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS

Jack Harrison was losing his breath as soon as he saw the word abilities.

"Abilities?, missions?" Jack whispers to himself, his mind was racing as he tries to understand what is going on, as he wondered if it is possible that there was more to him that he never knew.

The screen the disappeared once more same way it mysteriously appeared leaving Jack Harrison staring at an empty air where he saw the system screens.

Jack Harrison heart was still racing as he sat down frozen and wondering what all of that meant and what would happen next.

Jack Harrison couldn't believe what he had just witnessed as he sat there completely dumbfounded as he kept staring at the spot where the system screen disappeared from. His mind was racing as he was processing what just happened.

"Was I hallucinating?" Jack Harrison asked himself as he couldn't believe his eyes so he blinked several times and he was then certain that the system screen is gone and once again the room became quiet except for the sound of crackling fire in the other room.

Jack Harrison heart kept beating in his chest as he wondered if all of this could be real because just moments ago he was a weakling, orphan boy and was not sure about his purpose in life and now our of nowhere he has been given a stats like he was a character in a video game and equipment he had never heard of such as energy blade, night vision, Sonic boom and super cloak.

Jack Harrison kept trying hard to process all of it but none of it made sense as he wonders why the system chose him, and was surprised because he had always been an ordinary boy struggling with life challenges but not someone with super abilities or hidden powers.

Jack Harrison stood up slowly as he tries to test if the system screen would appear back but nothing happened. He kept wondering if there was something inside him that he didn't know about or was there some secret tied to his past or his grandmother's death.

Jack Harrison began to breath heavily as he needed answers for all this questions running through his head but didn't know who to ask and was certain not to bother Mrs Sophie with it so as to avoid sounding crazy.

Jack glanced around the room hoping to find a clue but everything was like that just as he was it.

Jack Harrison was shaking before he finally sat back I. The edge of the bed while holding his head in confusion. If this is not a dream then it means something bigger is happening and he is involved but what?, he kept wandering.

Then suddenly a thought came to his mind like a whisper, Jack Harrison who was still trying to process what the strange system screen showed. As his mind was racing in different directions.

Jack Harrison stood up as his legs was still trembling and decided to calm himself down.

"I need a glass of water, I hope it would put me at ease" Jack Harrison said as he was hoping it would help him clear his head.

He left his room and made his way to the kitchen, he walked quietly on the wooden floor so as not to disturb Mrs Sophie sleep, and the hose was silent as usual except for the crackling of the fire.

Jack Harrison took an empty glass and filled it with water from the tap that was sun the kitchen. After taking a deep breath, Jack cranked the water and the water was rushing into his mouth.

At first it was refreshing just like any other glass of water. But then something strange happened, as soon as the water entered his stomach, he felt a sudden surge of energy like a spark, sparking inside his body.

His muscles was vibrating and his heartbeat accelerated, it was as if the body was reject the water within him as the sensation was painful and was sparking like an electric current running under his skin.
