Beep!

Beep!!

Beep!!!

Hours had passed since Daven had been rushed to the hospital and he lay on the bed, looking so lifeless. Only the sound of the machines connected to his body indicated that he was still alive.

A few minutes later, Daven’s fingers moved and his eyes opened slowly. He was met with the white walls and ceiling of his noisy hospital room.

With other patients around and their voices flowing into his head, he felt like his head was about to explode.

Not only that, the memories of him getting hit by Gerald and how his girlfriend cheated on him, came rushing in.

Daven closed his eyes, so as to tone down the headache he was feeling but it got even worse.

“Oh no…” He gasped, breathing heavily as he recalled his dad had been rushed to the hospital. Quickly, he shot up the bed, ready to go to his father but in an instant, his body fell back on the bed.

The IV drip in his hand also twisted and the machines started to beep louder as Daven went into shock

However, inside him, another machine was beeping, while he was shaking on the bed.

[Welcome, Daven King, this is the Rich Medical System. You have been given a new life.]

With his eyes closed, Daven could still see things. It was like a new door had been opened in his mind and he witnessed several intricate webs being merged together and several information being downloaded at the same time.

[You have been bestowed the knowledge of modern medicine. You can heal people with your skilled hands and increased knowledge. And it is up to you to unlock more skills and knowledge.]

At the same time, with each information being downloaded, there were also locks on them, with only a few pieces of knowledge unlocked.

After the information had been registered in his mind, the system displayed a new screen.

[Host: Daven King

Age: 20

Occupation: Nil

Bank account: $2

System points: 1099

Strengths: 0

Weaknesses: 10

Host grade: 0.5]

[Your personal information has been registered by the system. You are at a very low human grade, and you need to step up to at least grade 1, otherwise, you might lose your life.]

Immediately those words were said, the System went blank and Daven’s eyes snapped open. He was drenched in sweat, his heart racing with a confused gaze.

“Brother, are you okay? You were shaking so terribly.” Arya’s worried voice flowed into his ears. Daven looked at his sister, still confused and at the same time, he saw a doctor rushing in.

“Don’t worry, the doctor is here.” Arya quickly stepped back.

The doctor went ahead to take his hand, wanting to check Daven’s stats but as soon as they made contact, Daven’s eyes flashed a bit.

In his mind, the System woke up again.

[Flannel Brick.

Occupation: Doctor.

Medical Illness: Diabetes

Stage: Type 2 diabetes

Caution: Needs immediate treatment, else can result in more complications.

Note: More information about this diagnosis is located in the information dump area.]

“What the hell…” Daven let out in surprise and immediately, he flung the doctor’s hands away.

He sat upright, in shock as he watched his surrounding like a hawk.

“Brother, what is going on?” Arya looked at him, in confusion.

On the other hand, the doctor tried to touch Daven again but he avoided the doctor’s touch so cleanly.

“You…” Daven pointed at him. “Are you diabetic?”

Immediately, the doctor’s gaze changed, not expecting Daven to know that.

“Do you know me? How do you know that?” He frowned.

“Oh shit!” Daven held onto his bandaged head and he felt like he had stepped into a new dimension which he wasn't supposed to get into.

All he did was to accept a System’s request and now he was thrown into jeopardy.

“Arya, let’s go home.” Swiftly, he dragged the IV needle out of his hand. “Have you paid the bills?”

“Yes…” Arya stuttered.

“Mr. Daven, you can’t leave the hospital just yet. You are still weak–”

“I am fine!” Daven thundered, getting off the hospital bed. He wasn't as weak as before. He was suddenly energized like he had not been hit by a car at all.

Still in his hospital clothes, he rushed past the doctor, dashing out of the hospital.

Arya ran after her brother, complaining and asking why he would leave the hospital that way. He still had cuts and bruises all over but he felt no pain however to Arya, he was too pale and should be in pain, so he shouldn't be walking around.

“Let’s go home.” Daven hailed a cab and ordered his sister into the cab.

“Where is father? Is he still at the hospital?” He asked.

“He is back home. I didn't tell him about your accident though…”

“You did well…” Daven nodded. However, he was worried as he bit down on his lips, wondering what was going on in his life.

He had a machine…a system inside him? How was that possible? Not only that, he could diagnose a person of an ailment. Now, he was even scared to touch anyone so he wouldn't see a diagnosis.

But the person he wanted to touch the most was his sick father.

“If I can help my father with this. I will surely accept this system...” He muttered.

A few minutes passed and they arrived in the shabby building where they lived. He rushed straight into his father’s bedroom and he saw that his father was fast asleep.

Sitting by his bedside, he quickly touched his father, “Please…show me what is wrong with him.”

[The medical diagnosis could not be processed, Daven King. You do not have enough system points.]

  • Cleared

    The hallway turned silent, as Daven stared at the old man intensely. He just needed something to hold onto, since the proposal couldn't be trusted completely.However, the old man shook his head, “I can’t let you know that.”“Like I told you. Only after you agree to the proposal would you know the details and everything you want to know, you will, after that.”“Is that so?” Daven raised a brow, as his trust dwindled. He raised his hand to wave and dismiss the old man, but then OR door was suddenly pushed open.Two nurses rushed out, and Daven immediately stood in their way, panicked.“What’s going on?” He asked.“Please, step aside…” They quickly pushed him aside, but then he saw their distress too. As they disappeared and reappeared down the hallway, they carried a box containing blood bags and Daven’s heart couldn't help but sink further, wondering if Elena would survive.“With all you have seen, wouldn’t you take my proposal? I don’t think you can stand the rage any longer…”He cl

  • Gerald’s Doom

    It was a precise shot, one that had the whole school in a chokehold. Gerald had long trained his marksmanship and Daven protecting Elena behind him was nothing.Bang!Blood spurted out in the blink of an eye, as the bullet hit Elena right in her chest.The school was in a complete disarray immediately as Elena fell into Daven’s arms. He clutched her bleeding chest, just enough pressure to stop the blood.He then patted her face repeatedly, “Elena!”“Someone call an ambulance!” He heard Ari’s voice behind him. And at the same time, he was trying to pull up the system stats in his mind. However, at that moment, he was completely disoriented and afraid that the only woman who stood by his side would die because of him.The system didn’t even give him a mission to save her!“Step aside, Daven…” Ari pulled on his arm, but he held on to her still.He felt her pulse, how faint it was, and the way her skin was turning pale and cold.“Please, don’t die…” He muttered. “Step aside, Daven!

  • The Trigger

    Daven couldn’t help but keep thinking back to his teacher and the Dean, wondering what was happening between them. The System had said Frederick was dangerous, and he hoped his teacher was fine.As he walked back to his school building, deciding to lay off going to Maya’, he received a call from Elena.Quickly, he connected the call and her panicked voice rang out, “Hey, where are you?”“I am at…” His eyes roamed around. “The school’s center—”“Oh shit!” She cursed. “Get away from there! Gerald is looking all over you. Ari says he has a gun.”“What?” He gasped.“Yes! Get the hell out.”Elena ended the call the next second and Daven looked around, checking his surroundings. He had expected Gerald to appear in rage, but he didn't expect the bastard would be so brazen to wield a gun.“Stupid…” He chuckled, with no ounce of fear in his eyes. And he knew no matter where he went, Gerald would always come after him. So, he walked casually around, but his eyes were on every nook and cranny.

  • Suicide Note

    Daven pursed his lips, as Blackman led him into the meeting room. Georgina was also at the forefront, alongside the familiar faces from last time. However, his eyes landed on his teacher again and he saw how listless he looked. Doctor Blackman was a proud and elegant man, but he seemed to have a shadow hovering over him now.He looked sad.“What’s going on?” Daven asked, with his hands behind him. “I was told Maya left a suicide note.”“Does it concern me?”Georgina shook her head, but then stood up to pass the wrinkled note with tear stains on it.As Daven opened the note, he recognized Maya’s writing immediately and the first word on the note was his name.He read out every word with a silent whisper, “Daven, you are the only person who looked at me like I was human. My parents didn’t, nor anyone else around me.”“But I was stupid to think I wanted more, to let the pressure from my poor and uncaring parents get to me. I thought you weren’t enough, and so, I had to be with Gerald.”

  • Words Of Slander

    The class murmured, pointing accusing fingers at Dayna. “She is just too rash!”“Why couldn't she just listen to save Chris? She is just a proud bitch, with no sense of reasoning!”Dayna covered her ears, glaring at Daven with eyes that spilled venom before she snapped back at the others.“Why are you all blaming?” She hissed. “Daven is the bad one here. He is the one who broke Chris’ fingers.”“Attack him! Not me!” On the other hand, Daven had let go of Chris and he now writhed on the floor, clutching his limbs. Due to the immense pain in his body, he couldn't speak a word as tears spilled from his eyes and sweat trickled down his back.Daven finally stood before Dayna, with a slight smile, “Do you really care about Chris or are you just trying to attack me?”“What…what do you mean?” She blinked and immediately stepped away from Daven due to the pressing aura around him.“I am just saying. I am not unreasonable enough to break his fingers over a petty beef you are trying to bring u

  • Broken Thumb

    Five hours later…The school’s forum was bustling with news of Maya’s suicide attempt. She had gone into surgery for hours, and there was no news of success yet.However, even in the heat of the moment, Daven drove into the school calmly while Elena and Ari shifted nervously in their seats.Elena who had been confident about what he was going to do was now absolutely restless.In just four hours, his face had been plastered all over with killer written all over it. They knew this sort of event could trigger a revolution and might force the school’s authority to put Daven out.“Are you sure you wouldn’t go back home?” She asked.“No…” He shook his head.“Do you have at least have anything planned? You can’t go in there and claim you are innocent.”“No one will believe you!”Daven calmly turned to look at her with a slight smile, “As long as you believe me, Elena.”“As long as Ari does too.”A few minutes later, he stepped out of the car, immediately going straight for his first class o
