Chapter 5: 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 inner 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? I didn’t remember myself taking it off, so it must be somewhere in this room.” He rose from the floor 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. It was an elven ear, he now has an elven ear. 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 all happen?” Kevin thought as he ran his hands through the long black hair that all elven would always have. Everything about him has altered, he looks different and he felt re-energized. He didn’t feel fragile like he used to feel when he was still a human. But something was astonishing to him, 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 could see this notification tab and he could remember vividly that it was the same thing he had seen 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.
“Triling System? What is that??”
“This is kinda crazy, isn’t it? How could I have no skills or magic? Heaven knows how I’ll even level up at this rate. I wouldn’t even be able to obtain any crystal because of my father.”
Kevin looked around the room he was in, there was no sign of gemstone or anything, so he kept on reading the other information that the system had, thinking maybe he would see something better. He moved over to the stats tab.
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.
“A new skill?? But I thought I can’t unlock it unless I complete a quest or had leveled up.”
