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.]

  • Homemade Food

    “You really own this place?” Elena had to ask, as she beheld the beautiful ambiance of the house. It was a very comfortable place for a student to stay in, but of course, she was going to question this reality. “Yes.” Daven nodded.“How?” She raised her brow. As far as she knew, she knew he wasn't a rich guy. Or did he lie to Ari all this time?Daven scratched his head and Ari looked away quickly because he had no answer either. But she continued to probe, “How did you get all this money to get a house and then a car? I know it’s not in my place to ask, but I will be living here for a while. I need to know if we are all safe.”“Yes.” Daven nodded, his eyes holding her gaze to reassure her. “I assure you, I do not engage in any form of fraud and I pay my taxes regularly. You don’t need to worry.”Elena pursed her lips, her eyes intently searching his. Daven was a reliable man, she knew that but she could never know what was in his heart. However, she decided to trust him. “It’s good

  • A Harsh Slap To The Face

    “Of course, I do. Don’t you want to become affiliated with me?” The old man asked, staring keenly at Daven. “I would love to.” Daven didn't dare say otherwise, but still, he wasn't about to throw his pride away. “However, I may have to decline your kind gesture. Thank you so much for holding me in such high esteem.”Old man West went calm and instead of being offended, he was very pleased and proud of how principled Daven was. He realized the young man was reliable and he was even more determined to keep their relationship longer. “I understand you.” Old Man West nodded. “However, if you need anything at all, in this country. Do not hesitate to reach out to me.”“I appreciate your kind gesture.” Daven broke into a genuine smile and bowed slightly. He felt the old man was really wise and the secret of his system ability would be kept a secret. Soon, he was led out of the mansion and as he stepped out, he saw an alert of $20 million! A smile broke out on his face seeing that the old

  • The New Grandson

    “You must be out of your fucking mind, Daven!” Lady West cut in, her chest heaving. “How the hell did you even get in here?”“That’s enough, Maria.” the patriarch cautioned, however, she wasn't about to let go. “Father, you can’t be deceived by that boy!” She warned as she walked back to him. Her eyes stared at him pleadingly. “Deceived?” He chuckled. “Daven has proven himself before me. It’s you who is so blind to see his potential.”“How can you let someone who is clearly against your daughter into the house when you wouldn't even let your grandson in?” She yelled. Her eyes were red, and a sharp glint of displeasure flashed in them. The patriarch took a pause, his hands fisting beside him. “Do not mention that good-for-nothing to me anymore.” He pointed sharply at her, and alarm bells were already ringing in Lady West’s ears but she chose to ignore it. “You don’t get it, do you? Gerald is your grandson!” Lady West was distressed, and she had totally forgotten about the outsider

  • A Mystery He Had To Unravel

    Daven followed the patriarch into the mansion and they walked into the study where the incident had happened. The blood was still all over, evidence of the injury the old man had sustained. However, the patriarch went past it and sat at his table, his legs crossed over. He stared at Daven with meaningful eyes, wondering where he had encountered the young man before.“You are injured. You should treat yourself.” He pointed at the first aid box which had been left lying around. Daven darted his eyes suspiciously from the box to the blood and then to the old man, wondering if he was not going to say anything. He was deliberately ignoring the obvious and Daven was going to keep it that way until the matter was tabled. He got to the first aid box and brought out a few things to treat himself as the old man watched keenly. “You and I know what happened, right?” The patriarch finally spoke up and Daven froze. However, he only pursed his lips and didn't say a word to the patriarch. “I wa

  • No Fear Of Death

    Daven moved like a flash, catching the sharp end of the knife in his hand and it dug deeply into his palm, his blood dripping heavily. “You dare stand in our way!” The man who had appeared all of a sudden barked. He looked just like the muscular man from earlier and it was obvious they worked together. He dragged the knife right out of Daven’s hand and was about to stab him in the face once again when Daven pulled back. He had no patience left to fight this man and so, he ran into the room he had approached earlier, and as soon as he got in, he opened his mouth in shock. The servants from earlier who had attended to him were huddled up inside. Some had gotten injured and their blood spilled all over the room. “Shit!” Daven cursed as he realized this was a full-blown attack on the entire West mansion. An influential family such as this was attacked! In just a few minutes he arrived, they had all been besieged! “Save us!” They all cried, right on their knees with their hands clas

  • Did I Kill Someone?

    Daven couldn't go down! Never!Even though this man was way stronger than him, he would do everything he could to defeat him. Before the punch could land on his face, he dodged to the side, catching the man off guard. The muscular man lost balance in that moment and staggered forward to the wall, while Daven quickly ran toward the door. As soon as he got in, he locked the door with a snap of his fingers. He let out a deep breath before slowly turning around to see that he was in a study room with a strong smell of blood. He jumped the moment he saw the patriarch’s body right on the floor with a bloody knife by his side. The old man clutched his stab wound, breathing heavily like he was about to take his last breath. “Shit!” Daven cursed and quickly rushed to him. On the other hand, the muscular man kept banging on the door. The door’s hinges shook like it was going to fall out in seconds. “Are you okay?” Daven asked the old man whose eyes had turned into slit, life slowly slippi
