Chapter 5: What am I?

Gary’s eyes started to flutter open slowly as he was regaining consciousness. The first thing he saw were some very tall trees above him. The sky was gray, making it hard to tell if it was just about to turn to night or whether it would soon be day again. As he lifted up his body, he noticed the sound of ruffling, which turned out to come from the many leaves underneath him.

‘Am I in the woods?’ Gary thought. He looked around and could see nothing but trees, yet no sign of a pathway or road. ‘Why did I come here? Wasn’t I jus-’

“Argh!” His head started to ring with pain. When lifting it up he could see that the sleeves of his clothing were partially torn. Thinking back he tried to remember the last thing that had happened, but all that came to mind was the throbbing pain in his back side. 

‘That guy…  he stabbed me!’ Lifting up his shirt, he peeked over his shoulder. Gary tried to take a look, but he found nothing, not even after running his fingers over the supposed wound. For a second he questioned himself. ‘Could it be that all of it was just a bad dream?’ 

Alas, he quickly noticed something that made him think all of it had been real. Running down his trousers there were signs of dried blood, looking to have dripped from his own wound. Something had definitely happened earlier.

He should have been in pain. There should have been a wound, yet there was nothing! In fact, his body felt far better than it had ever done before.

‘Just what the hell happened after I got stabbed? How the hell did I get here? Shit, where the hell is ‘here’ in the first place?’

He had no memories whatsoever of what had happened from the construction site to where he was now, and in all his thinking he had completely ignored something obvious that was right in front of him this whole time. His vision had slightly been altered and in more ways than one. 

Even though it was quite dark out, he could see details in the night he shouldn’t have been able to with his vision. The groves on the trees a distance away, the ants crawling up on the trees, passing food to each other, and then there was the moon. It was still out and would suggest that it was still the middle of the night after all. 

‘Hang on… are those ANTS?!’ Eventually Gary noticed the discrepancy with his eyes. ‘How is that possible? Could it be because of all those carrots Mum has been cooking lately? They say it improves your eyesight… Or is that just another internet myth? I bet Tom would know.’ 

In the middle of his crazy thoughts, he registered something in the top left corner of his vision. When looking at it, it reminded him of a notification from an email or a game. He moved his head trying to get rid of it, but wherever he would look it would stay there. 

Then he started to touch his face to see if he was wearing anything, but there was nothing. The notification appeared to be glued onto his vision.

‘How the hell do I get rid of this thing?!’ When thinking about the notification itself, it suddenly opened and a screen appeared in front of him, hovering in midair. 

[Your bloodlust has been lowered]

[You are no longer enraged]

[State has been updated to: Normal]

‘Is that… a system?’ 

Gary had played a few games in the past with a similar interface before. However he wasn’t quite the gamer himself. He never had time for them as he was always busy trying to come up with ways to make money. The one who this would have been perfect for would be his buddy Tom, but with his limited knowledge Gary still knew how to navigate it a bit. 

The notifications looked like they could be deleted and it looked like there were more options on his general interface. The annoying thing was it was all blocking his field of vision Still, at the same time he couldn’t deny it was kinda cool. Like he had been turned into some futuristic robot.

Nevertheless, he didn’t like what he was reading. The word ‘Bloodlust’ did not sound good at all.. What exactly had happened? Had he been turned into some type of vampire and was now required to feed on blood? It would at least explain the wounds healing on his body so far. He had read supernatural stories of things like that before. 

Quickly touching his teeth, he felt nothing and they appeared to be the same as they had always been.

Then there was the second half of the message, ‘it had been lowered’. Reading this he gulped down and tried to look at himself. There wasn't a huge amount of blood on him apart from that on his trousers. Being able to escape from that construction site alive while three men were chasing him, he started to consider the worst case scenario. 

‘No, nothing happened, stop being paranoid!’ Gary tried to convince himself. ‘Surely, I would have remembered something like that. … but would I really? … I still have no clue how I got in the woods in the first place.’ 

Unfortunately with his tendency to forget even menial tasks like emptying the washing machine when his mother asks him to, he was unable to rely on his good memory.

After deleting those notifications, Gary decided to study the system a little. The first thing he could see was an image of himself looking back at him and his name by the side with a few stats. 

[Name: Gary Dem]

[Level 1]

[Exp 0/100]

[Health: 100/100]

[Energy: 100/100]

[Heart rate 42 BPM]

[State: Normal]

Looking at the information in front of him, he was trying to figure out what they meant. Gary appeared unable to open some sort of description for them and there wasn’t really anyone or anything that told him what was going on. 

‘Health’ seemed to be pretty self-explanatory, but ‘Energy’? The best he could come up with was that it might be something similar to Stamina. As for the ‘Heart rate’, he considered it to be a very strange thing to appear in the first place. What worried him was that his resting heart rate had never been that low. This was the heart rate that athletes were able to achieve and although Gary wasn’t unfit, he was far from being an athlete.

As for ‘State’ he could only relate it to the message he had gotten previously about his bloodlust decreasing, something he chose to ignore for now. What interested him more than anything was the level by his name. It reminded him of the RPG games that had been introduced to him. 

He didn’t know why, but his favourite part in those games had never been the completion of quests nor the exploration of the world, but simply its grinding. He would spend hours just killing creatures watching that bar increase. Tom would always complain about his play style, stating that it wasn’t the fastest way to level up. After all, he was defined as a “noob” in Tom’s eyes.

On the screen itself, at the top the tab read ‘Status’, but right next to that, there was another little tab labeled ‘Quests’. It had a little red dot, which would usually indicate that there was something new that he hadn’t seen before. At least that would be the case if it worked like his phone notifications. 

Cloaking on that, a few more screens popped up in front of him again. 

[New quest received]

[Get the perfect body]

[You can now do amazing things you never could have done before, but you're limited by your former weaker self. You need to get into top shape to display your full potential! Do you even lift? No? Then start lifting! Diet is crucial to this task. You will soon see improvements beyond your wildest dreams! The most important thing is to stay consistent!]

[Daily tasks (Tuesday)]

[Push day: Get to the gym and start pushing, instructions will appear once you get there.]

[Diet: Eat 2 kilograms of meat per day, get that sweet protein!]

[Quest reward: That sweet exp you need and love.]

‘Two kilograms of meat?! Is the system crazy?! What does it think I am, some tiger or something? How is it even possible to eat that much?” 

Apart from that, the system messages seemed enthusiastic to say the least. Whoever had designed it must be by a very strange person. Scrolling up there seemed to be one more quest that he had received before that one. 

[New quest received]

[Your first turning]

[14 days until the next full moon]

[Survive!]

Reading this carefully, his thoughts reached a certain conclusion. There was only one supernatural creature in books in movies that he could think of that had any relation to the full moon. Heading back to the notifications, he scrolled up and checked the very first one he had received. Because it wasn’t a new one he had missed before but now he remembered seeing something before black out. 

He read the words multiple times, the first system message that had ever appeared. 

‘I’m not a vampire… Well it seems like I won’t have a problem with body hair anytime soon.’

    Vampires—through Dean's story, the Howlers including Kai knew Rickle was one, one of the founders of NIRV.Although because of their small run-in with these creatures, Kai had almost completely forgotten about it, and he remembered once he realized the knee-jerk reaction his body had to Rickle's presence.He started to think back to all the situations where the group had encountered vampires of sorts.Marie and Olivia being the first, then there was also the vampire Gary had encountered in the jail, and there was Rickle as well.'We have no idea of their numbers or their purpose. When I try to dig information it's almost impossible,' Kai thought.'Is it some type of power they have? It might explain how Rickle was able to obtain all of this information as well.’'The main concern I have is if there's something to worry about. Midwak talked about them as well, and said it was the main reason why the Lupus Gang was unable to act.'Their ultimate goal in all of this after things settled

    The Howlers had done all they could do for the time being. Using whatever resources they had available to try and put a stop to the One Gang before things got even bigger, and in Kai’s mind, before Gary would blow a fuse and just try to go against Harvor in the first place.While waiting, everyone was still busy in their own way. Austin had asked Ice to meet him from time to time; one could only guess that they were going through some type of training of sorts.Marie and Olivia were now quite a dependable duo and were learning to utilize their classes better with each other, and the rest of the members weren't slacking off either on Kai’s orders.Although he wanted to do everything in his power to stop a full-scale war from breaking out, with the Howlers' forces having to fight again, he couldn't deny that it might be inevitable.Currently, Kai was in one of his many offices. He wasn’t in the Wolf’s Pool Club; instead, he was borrowing one of the hotel rooms and had various files in f

    The entirety of Xin’s body was already frozen, with one hand from Stanley holding onto her neck. Maybe Stanley’s words were right—that the two of them were the same, that both were based on a wyvern.However, it was clear there was a huge difference in elemental power between the two of them.Now, as she saw Stanley ready to swing his sword, all she could do was close her eyes.“I’m sorry, Jayden… and Ga-”She heard the sound of the sword cleanly swinging through the air, and then, in the middle of it, a scream.“STOP!” a roaring voice shouted so loudly that even the birds in the nearby woods began to fly above. Right on cue, Stanley stopped his strike as well, leaving it mid-air.The vein on his forehead was bulging slightly. “What is it?” Stanley asked. “Why are you, another Zodiac, telling me to stop, Apollo?”The others turned to look at him. Apollo was standing up, his large frame tense, fists clenched. With all eyes on him, he knew he had to come up with an answer fast.“I jus

    In a short amount of time, Xin was able to achieve part of her revenge. Deep down, she knew she couldn’t go for Harvor or match up to him.She had seen what he was capable of, which was why she had decided to take out those around him.A difficult task, but in the process, she would learn to become more ruthless, face countless challenges, and maybe even grow strong enough to take down Harvor as well.All her life, she had overcome the difficulties in front of her and thought she might be able to do the same by herself and alone.Yet in the situation she was in now, she felt hopeless. She stood on the open grass, seeing a large number of people sitting at tables.Harvor sat there in sunglasses, his tattoo showing from his back and a scar running up his arm.At the same table, there was a man in a white lab coat, and as for the others, it was the rest of the Zodiacs that had arrived.She thought that maybe, seeing Harvor in front of her, she would lash out and try to take him down.Ins

    Xin was shocked that her attack had been stopped for two reasons. One was due to her strength. She was transformed and in her Altered state, her hand moving at super-fast speed and using all her might. She could barely believe her strike had been intercepted so easily.The second reason was the fact that William had supposedly been asleep. She had made sure of it, even verifying he was snoring before she approached his bedside.‘Did he know I was here the whole time? Was he just trying to lure me into this situation?’ she wondered, her mind racing.Regardless, Xin had her other hand free, and with it, she swung forward, aiming for the bed. Her fist crashed down, smashing through pillows and electrifying the wooden frame with her power.Yet, her other hand was now free from his grip, but William himself was gone. He had vanished completely from the bed, leaving her baffled.Suddenly, she felt a faint shift of air to the side of her face. But before she could fully react, a large object

    Seeing the grand mansion in front of her eyes, Xin could only think of one person who would have such wealth to afford a luxury place right by the river.Not only that, but after following another Zodiac member, it was clear as day where she was. As she stood out in the open in the garden, she quickly rushed forward.She saw William enter the front door of the house, opening it without a lock, while she proceeded to hide in some shrubbery outside.Carefully maintained hedges were placed in particular areas. There was even a specially carved deer out of hedging in the front.‘No guards or anything in a place like this?’ Xin thought. ‘I guess when you have the Zodiacs and you’re as strong as Harvor, you don’t feel the need to have guards.’Carefully, she looked around to see if there was anything else. The only camera she could see was on the front of the door.‘It’s dangerous being here right now; there’s a good chance that Harvor is here, as well as the other Zodiac members,’ she thou
