2023-06-11 04:29:21When Chris woke up, the heavy smell of medecine assaulted his nose.
"I'm in a hospital?" he mused, staring at his bandaged arms and the drip connected to his wrist. Suddenly, he felt a sting in his chest, causing him to release a yelp. Few seconds later, a nurse barged in. "You're awake?" the nurse smiled. "What happened to me?" Chris felt like his brain was fuzzy. "Just relax, let me go call the doctor" the nurse rushed out. Chris sighed. He felt his limbs go so heavy that he could barely move them. At that moment, he saw a string of words floating in the air in front of him.-[CONGRATULATIONS ON ASSIMILATING WITH THE OWL CORE. DO YOU WISH TO AWAKEN THE SYSTEM NOW?] Chris rubbed his eyes, trying to check if they were playing tricks on him. But even after he did, he still found those words floating in the air. "Heh. To think that this injury would make me start hallucinating" he laughed self mockingly.-[PASSIVE COMMAND ACCEPTED. YOU HAVE AWAKENED THE AMAZING MAN SYSTEM]"Wait, when did i agree to that?" At that moment, he heard a robotic sound in his head.-[PING! HOST HAS SUCCESSFULLY AWAKENED THE AMAZING MAN SYSTEM. HOST WILL RECEIVE A STARTERS PACK]-[DOES HOST WISH TO ACCEPT STARTER PACK?] "Geez, am i friggin hearing voices in my head" Chris began to panic.-[PASSIVE COMMAND ACCEPTED. HOST HAS CLAIMED STARTER PACK] Wtf!-[Host has unlocked healing serum: Brilliant bones]-[Host has received +5 exp]-[Host has received Daily Quest; Body fitness] "What in the hell" Chris felt the constant buzzing in his head as notifications flashed in his eyes. Just at that moment, Dr. Connor walked in, holding a report book. "Oh, Mr. Chris you finally woke up" he smiled. "Doc, i'm grateful you are here. I think i'm going crazy. I keep on hearing voices in my head. I.." "Calm down Mr. Chris" Dr. Connor adjusted his spec and sat besides Chris. "How is your body feeling?" "I can barely move doc" Chris laughed wryly."You are in critical condition i'm afraid. You were out cold for a month, in coma. I ran a scan on your internal structure and the results.." Dr. Connor took a deep breath. "In the human body, the cerebrum is a part of the brain that issues out body commands. Underneath it is the cerebellum and they are connected to the spinal cord by the brain stem. Your injuries were so severe that they affected and damaged your brain stem" "Use simple english doc" Chris had a bad premonition. "In simple sense, you are a cripple" Dr. Connor broke the news. Chris heart skipped a beat. No wonder he couldn't move his body apart from his lips. So he was paralyzed. "However, i am curious about something. Just who were so cruel to leave you in such a state?" Dr. Connor asked. "I don't know too doc. Honestly they just attacked, robbed me of my money and beat me almost to death" "Such cruel people" Dr. Connor shook his head and left.The room fell silent. Suddenly, Chris remembered something, prompting his sunken heart to regain some spark. "Uhm. System? are you there?" he asked aloud.-[WHAT ARE HOST REQUESTS?] "I want to take that healing serum. How do i go about it?" Curtis asked.-[Processing demand.. 5%.. 15%.. 30%.. 50%.. 80%.. 99%.. 100%.. successful] At that moment, a small medicine bottle materialized on Chris lap. It was the size of his thumb and it's content was green. "Damn, how can i drink this stuff if i can't move my limbs" he recalled a crucial problem. Maybe the heavens took pity on him because coincidentally, the nurse walked in, holding a tray of fruits. "Dr. Connor said to eat fruits" the nurse shyly squatted before Chris. "Wait, are you going to feed me?" realization dawned on Chris. "Uhm.. i.." the nurse cheeks went beet red as she nervously bit her lower lips. "Don't bother okay? just put this in a cup and bring a straw too" Curtis nudged at the medicine bottle on his lap.The nurse breathed a sigh of relief and left. She returned back with a styrofoam cup and straw. After pouring the contents of the Brilliant bones healing serum, she placed it in front of Chris who sipped everything. "Anything else?" the nurse nervously asked. "No. You may leave. I want to take a nap now" Chris yawned. Perhaps it was due to the brilliant bones serum but he was starting to feel sleepy.* * * THE CORTEZ FAMILY MAIN MANSION. . . The whole family were all gathered together having lunch at a huge dining banquet table that was able to accommodate the fifty Cortez family members. "Cindy dear, what are your plans for the future?" an old man in english suit who sat at the head of the table said to Cindy. He was Patrick, the family head and Cindy's grand uncle. "Grand pa, i don't quite understand?" Cindy tried feigning ignorance. "This past month, i have been receiving a lot of promising suitors. And they all share something in common.. you""Your grandpa is right. Many of our neighbouring young scions have been frequenting your grandfather, asking for your hand in marriage" an old lady who sat besides Patrick at the head of the table, chirped in. She was Maria, Patrick's wife. "Infact, just last week, the Chapman family has agreed to come into a partnership with us, on the basis that we strike up a marriage" Patrick stopped beating around the bush. "But grandpa, i am married" Cindy tried to protest. "Married? to who? that cripple?" Patrick snorted. Naturally, he was referring to Curtis. "That brat got married into the family because he once saved the life of your deceased father. He got married into this family on the basis of merit. Not counting the later demise of your father, just the fact that he has become a cripple is enough to kick him out of the family" Patrick's nose flared. "What do you expect the public to think of the Cortez family? that we are harbouring a useless cripple?""Look, you are going to get that bastard to sign a divorce. The papers are ready, what remains is you both signatures" Patrick tone held a hint of no refuting. "Yes grandpa" Cindy's shoulder slumped a bit as she helplessly stabbed her fork on her plate of roast beef. As for the other family members, they all pretended to be deaf as they silently ate their food.* * * When Chris woke up, he noticed it was evening already. "It worked!" he tried moving his arm and it moved. "Brilliant bones serum? what a miraculous drug" he was awestruck en.-[Ping!

Chapter 18 - You are Fired!!
A taxi pulled over at Chicken Villa. Chris alighted down and paid the taxi man. He currently looked like a different person entirely. His hair was styled to resemble those male models on fashion magazines. His designers suit didn't help matters at all. From afar, one would mistake him as a rich scion. "Let's do this" Chris adjusted the shades he wore and took brisk steps towards the resturant. Cling! Upon opening the door, he instantly became the center of attraction. "Hm?" "Who's this big shot?" "Damn. I love the scent of his perfume. It must cost a lot" Chris rolled his eyes from underneath the shades he wore. I'm handsome now? how come i wasn't when i came here as a cop? A male waiter hurriedly rushed towards Chris, beaming amicably. "Respected sir shouldn't sully himself sitting in such an enviroment. Permit me to lead you to the VIP section" Chris was surprised. 'There's a VIP? These people hid it quite well'However, Chris concealed his ignorance. "At Least you ar

Just as Chris was mulling over his next course of action, he recieved yet another notification.-[You have met the criteria to unlock bronze quest; king of kicthen] Chris face went sour when he saw the name of the new quest. 'King of kitchen? Is this system messing with me?' Although taken aback by the name of the quest, he decided to read it's full content.-[QUEST INFO]- For years, a certain phrase has existed: without women, food and drink, what is the essence of life? Open a food truck and rule the food niche!-REWARDS: 1000 luxury points.-RATINGS: 0/1000-RECQUIRED SKILLS NECESSARY TO COMPLETE QUEST: AMAZING COOK. AMAZING CHARISMA. Checking the shop, his jaws slackened. The Amazing cook skill cost twenty luxury points, while the Amazing charisma skill cost a whooping fifty. This was robbery! Somehow, the reward for completing the quest became too little. Just as he was thinking of ignoring the quest, he received yet another notification from the system.-[FAILURE TO COM
Chapter 16 - The System secrets
When Chris arrived at work the next day, he went straight to Detective Warren's office. The veteran Detective was having an early morning coffee when he walked. "Why didn't you come with your partner? i thought you both were inseparable huh?" Detective Warren crackled. "I came to turn over my investigation on that case involving Chicken Villa" Chris replied. "Apparently, that restaurant also acts as a night club" "Was there any suspicious activities?" Detective Warren dropped the mug of coffee. Chris sensed the gravity of the situation. He couldn't help but reconsider his decision to stop investigating the Chicken Villa case. Was there really something going on in there? Just as Chris made to reply, Detective Warren's phone rang. "A minute please" he apologized before taking the call. "You found a lead to that case?.. no.. Impossible!.. you know what, i'm coming there immediately" Hanging up, Detective Warren grabbed his coat and turned towards the waiting Detective."Sorry
Chapter 15 - Planetary Task Force
Chris got home quite early. He ordered a medium sized box of pizza and downed it with a bottle of Dr. Peppers. Today dealt him a really huge surprise. Not only did he get alot of feature points, he also got two new skills. Pistol Efficiency Analysis The latter was so amazing that Chris was having a hard time believing it worked. According to it's info, he could scan anything and glean out information from them. The context was he could scan anything! Chris wore a ski mask, gloves and a hoodie. Then he left the house. Like a badass vigilantee, he moved stealthily through the streets. Finally, he arrived at his destination. Chicken Villa. However the scene Chris saw left his jaw dropping. Although the door was shut, he could hear the loud electro dance music and multi colored lights from within the building. He brought out his phone and took a picture. Walking over to the door, he knocked twice. The door swung open, revealing a burly bouncer with multiple piercings on his f
Chapter 14 - Identity Exposed
When Chris exited the mall, he saw Sky gaping at him. Her mouth wide open that ten flies could perfectly fit in. "Good show right?" he didn't bother feigning ignorance. The facts were clear as day. He wasn't normal. Like how could a normal human defeat a bunch of super powered freaks. "So you are a Deviant huh? i never thought of that" Sky no longer stared at Chris like he was trash. She raised her hand. A packet of chips flew out of the mall and began floating mid air. "You are a Deviant too? but wait, i don't even know what a deviant is" Chris gwaked. When he recieved the system, he believed himself to be the only one with super powers. At that time, he would stand at the peak of the world. But after seeing Sky, those thoughts vanished. There were others like him. "This isn't the best place to talk" Sky fished out a phone from her pocket. She put a call across to Detective Warren. After a while, she hung up."A squad of patrol officers are on their way. Our job ends now" Sky
Chapter 13 - Strange Human
"Thank you for showing up detectives. I am sincerely grateful" a male voice laughed as soon as Sky parked their car at the spacious parking lot. They both alighted and saw a middle aged man in butler suits, pushing a man in wheel chair towards them. The man in wheel chair seemed to be in his early thirties. He had a warm smile on his face. "He must be the friendly sort" that was Chris first impression of him. "My name is Fred Bush" the man in wheel chair introduced himself. "You are the adopted son of Liam Bush? plus you were the one who filed the report at the police station?" Sky shook his hands. "Hah. I don't like being.." Fred smiled wierdly. "Introduced like that? sorry" Sky apologized. "Alright. Why don't i show you both around?" Fred volunteered. "We are not tourists. We came here for investigations" Sky was quite blunt in her proffessionalism. "Ohkay. I'd lead you both to the garden then. We'll discuss over a cup of tea"Sky nodded in agreement. "Why couldn't you be
