Chapter 1: Chapter 1 Cool Breeze

Chapter 1: Cool Breeze

 

Cold I feel cold that is all I feel. Why is that all that I feel, why am I wet. Did I have an accident, no that can’t be it I’m not some toddler peeing in my bed. What is that smell, is that salt why do I smell salt in my bedroom. I open my eyes to see myself facedown on a beach and not on my comfortable queen-sized bed. I slowly push myself up and turn around to face the ocean.

“What the Hell, how did I wind up here.” I say to myself. “I’m defiantly not in Kansas anymore” I chuckle. I look out into the big blue ocean and sigh as I feel the millions of grains of sand underneath my feet and the cool breeze against my face. “I should be freaking out, but this view is amazing, I guess there will be time for freaking out later”. I wonder how I got here the last thing I remember is watching tv in bed in my crappy apartment. If someone kidnapped me, I wonder why they picked me it’s not like I am important, I mean I was an award of the state when I was a kid it’s not like I have any family that can pay any ransom. Plus, when I think of being kidnapped It’s more like Silence of the Lambs in a dungeon with a creepy guy saying, “it puts the location on the skin, or it gets the hose again”. As far as kidnapping goes this is pretty nice so I say thank you kidnappers.

I stumble to my feet to immediately fall back down again. “I guess I don’t have what they call see legs” I groan as I wipe the sand of my face.

“Okay let’s try this again, MAXIMUM EFFORT!!!!” I shout to provide some sense of willpower to stand up. I am able to stand up this time albeit a little wobble.

“Success, now that’s done I should take stalk on my situation” I say as I wipe the sand off my wet cloths. I turned to look away from the ocean and to look behind me and the first thing I notice was the sound of birds chirping away. The next thing that I noticed was the breathtaking sight of wondrous sight of palm trees and lush greenery. A beautiful green forest around a coral reef gem made of beaches covered in diamond dust. Tall palm palms stood guard over a broad arc of golden beach, casting ominous shadows over the dry island. Millions of tiny diamond-like sparkles glistened on the calm sea as the sun blazed from a sky covered with sparse clouds. The lapping waves covered the gleaming, smooth rocks. A shadow was thrown on the fine sand strip by an unidentified flying object. “I am defiantly not in Kansas anymore” I say to myself. I take one step towards the beach, until I am stopped dead in my tracks by something that materialized before me. It appeared to be an inert touch screen floating in space. I extended a finger in an experiment, and as it passed right through the screen, it shimmered.

“What the hell is this?” I say as I keep poking my hand through the screen.

“This looks just like a video game menu” I say excitedly.

“Am I in a video game, this is awesome I can’t believe it this is the best day of my life” I jump for joy with a smile on my face. But how do I close this thing I can’t really see, and as soon as the thought popped in my head the system message closed. Well, that’s convenient I thought to myself, is it the same way if I want to open it.

“Ummm open” nothing happened. “How about video game thingy open saysame”, why the hell would that work, God I’m an idiot.

“System Open” as soon as the thought cleared my head the system menu appeared in front of me. “Easy enough”.

The main menu showed a diagram of myself with six tabs on the top. It read from left to right Stats, Skills, Inventory, Crafting, Quests, and Map.

“Well, this is weird it really does feel like a video game, and I have skills I wonder if can get some cool magic skills, just call me Merlin the Great”

You have chosen the name of Merlin the Great
[Confirm Y/N]

“NO NO NO NO NO NO NO a thousand times NO” I shout at the screen. “My name is Miles Egan”

You have chosen the name of Miles Egan
[Confirm Y/N]

I tap the yes icon and the pop-up menu closes. “Thank God, it let me confirm I would want to kill myself if this thing started calling me Merlin the Great, alright so let’s get into this thing”. I tap the stats screen and it flashes into a separate screen.

STATS:
Name: Miles Egan

“Wait what’s this mean waste of skin; oh god please don’t tell me this system is a Dick”

“Pretty decent on just starting out, but what is with the 3 in intelligence is this thing trying to tell me I’m stupid, and N/A for resistance why even say anything at all stupid thing” I say as I throw my hands in the air. “Well lets carry on with the rest of the tabs”, I move my hands over to Skills.

“Just four skills, that sucks, but I guess I shouldn’t complain it could have just said N/A for everything, I wonder what these skills do” I move my hand towards basic crafting.

***Basic Crafting***
Gives the ability to create basic Items, what did you think it was going to say!

“Yep, that settles it, this system is a dick” I sigh. “Well moving on then” I wave my hand over the next skill.

***Burst of Speed***
Due to SPD stat exceeding +10 thresholds.
Run faster than normal at the expense of stamina.

“Not bad, I wonder if there is a way to increase my other stats and then maybe I’ll get some cool skills on those stats as well”

*** Bulls Eye Shot***
MP Cost: Depends on distance of target
Due to HIT stat exceeding +10 threshold.
Ability to hit target without the need to aim and adds 10% chance of landing a critical hit.

“Hmmm lets see how this works” I say as I pick up a rock, and take look towards a nearby palm tree that’s about 50 feet away. “Bulls Eye Shot”. I shout as the rock flings out of my hand at an incredible speed as it lands on the nearby palm tree. I walk over to the tree and see a gash in the tree.

“That’s not too bad, but how much MP did that cost, look at me talking like a video game character”

MP: 9/10

“I need to test out how much MP it’ll cost the further back I go, but I can do that later, I still have one more skill to check out”. I move my hand towards to the last skill.

***Will to Survive***
Allows the User a higher chance to avoid direct, fatal injuries and live to fight another day.

“That’s a skill I will not be testing out, because A what if it’s a one and done kind of skill, and B the injury will still hurt and lets just say I’m a big supporter of not getting hurt.”

“Alright what’s next” I point my finger at the Inventory tab and a 10x10 grid like pattern screen shows up with three of the cells glowing.

Inventory:
[PJ Shirt]
[PJ Bottoms]
[Basic Watch]

“Hey this watch isn’t basic it’s a genuine Casio wristwatch”

[Basic Watch]
[YA BASIC CASIO WRISTWATCH]

“Did this system just mock me, whatever at least its entertaining at least” I let out a little chuckle. “I wonder if this thing can store stuff just like in a video game”, I pick up another rock and shove it through the screen. The rock disappears and another cell glows on the inventory grid.

[Basic rock]

“I wonder what would happen if I put 10 rocks in there would it take up 10 spots or would it just take one spot” I pick up 2 more rocks and shove them in the inventory screen.

[Basic rock x 3]

“That answers that, I wonder if its infinite or if there is a limit to it” I pick up rock after rock and shove it into the inventory screen.

[Basic rock x 20]
[Basic rock x 1]

“It seems like 20 items are the limit, its better than nothing though” I think out loud. Off in the distance I hear trees wrestling. “Oh please let it be people and please let them be friendly”. After staring at the trees wrestling for a few more minutes the tree noises were getting faster and louder until an ape like monster emerged from the trees. The Ape was standing up and it looked to be around eight feet tall and looked to weigh around three hundred pounds. Its eyes were large and glowed red, its body was covered with orange fur and it had very long forearms. “ROOOOOAAAAARRRRRRRR” the monster screamed as it ran towards me.
