My Triling System

Chapter Five: A System?

A few minutes later, Kevin became conscious but he was sweating profusely and his head was throbbing in immense pain.

He sat up and idled while his eyes were closed for a bit and then after a few minutes, he opened his eyes.

The headache had diminished a little and then, Kevin started taking in everything that had occurred previously. He remembered himself curing miraculously but he had lost consciousness due to a strange energy trying to enter his body. But what prompted all this?

That was when Kevin remembered the golden ring, he checked his left middle finger where he had last seen it but to his amazement, the ring wasn't in his hands. He checked around the floor and corners of the room but he could find nothing.

"Where the hell did it go?" He rose from the ground to search the table but the sight of what he saw made him flinch.

He stared at the mirror that was in front of him and saw something unusual in his eyes and ears.

"What is this? An elven ear?" Kevin said as he reached the elven ear that he now had in substitute for the once human ear.

"Elven ears? It is indeed Elven ears!" Kevin exclaimed.

But that is not all, his face... they look more stunning and distinct than before, it was like he was an elven prince as his blue elven eyes shimmered just by looking at his appearance.

"How did this happen?" Kevin thought as he ran his hands through the long white hair that all elven always have.

Everything about him was altered, his looks were differentiated and he felt re-energized than before. He didn't feel so fragile and weak like he used to feel when he was still a human. But he couldn't deny the fact that he's surprised by this. How did this happen? Is this the ring's doing?

While Kevin was lost in his thought, an abrupt flash of memory had come to him. He remembered an image displayed to him, in the image was something written as a system but he doesn't know what it is.

"System? What is it?..." As Kevin made mentioned the system, a notification tab suddenly appeared right above his face. The notification tab was like how a computer would display specific notifications and information to the user.

Kevin glared at the notification tab and he could remember vividly that it was the same tab he saw back when he slumped on the floor.

"What could it be?" He wondered before starting to read what was written on the notification tab. He was thinking that perhaps the system was trying to tell him about what it is, so he started reading.

< Congratulations, you have been granted the Triling System >

"Triling System? What is that??"

< You can either choose to save the world or destroy, it all depends on your own perspective of life >

< Displaying the user's information >

< Magic(s): None [Get twenty Ruby gemstones to unlock your first magic] >

< Skill(s): None [Skills unlock after a quest has been completed or after you leveled up] >

"This is kinda crazy, isn't it? How could I have no skills or magic? You said I should obtain gemstones to unlock my magic. Not while I'm living with my father.He wouldn't let me go hunting."

Kevin thought of telling him about this changes but he was worried his father won't let him go hunting even if he tell him.

He just have to find a way to get stronger without letting his father stop him. Even if it takes running away for a little time and then come back to see him when he's stronger.

He's sure that by then he'll be able to prove to the wizard that he's stronger and could survive on his own.

He commend his effort for raising him since he was a little kid, but he's no longer a kid. He just discovered a new power, he wants to go out and find out more about it.

His first option was to find a gemstone or crystal that would grant him a new magic.

He looked around the room, there was no sign of gemstone or anything, so he planned to go to forest to see if he could hunt down some beast.

Although he didn't know the specific beast that has the ruby gemstone, so he kept on reading the other information that the system has for him, thinking maybe he would see a clue or something. He then moved over to the stats tab.

< Stats >

< Strength: 10 >

< Speed: 10 >

< Agility: 10 >

< Stamina: 10 >

< Quests >

< Daily Quest: Run as fast as you can for Twenty minutes non-stop >

< Quest Reward: 10 Exp >

< Main Quest: Reach level ten >

After reading everything that the system had to offer, Kevin just had to think of the notification tab and think of it closing and then, it closed based on Kevin's thoughts.

"I think it's working with my mind."

Kevin gave it a try again as he thought of the system opening up and the notification tab popped up in front of him. He then thought of it closing up, and it had immediately disappeared out of Kevin's sight.

While Kevin was busy testing out the system, a notification suddenly appeared right in front of him.

< Congratulations, a new skill has been unlocked >

"A new skill?? But I thought I can't unlock it unless I complete a quest or have leveled up?"
