Chapter 3: Chapter 3: A start

Tyrian woke with a start. Shooting out of his bed onto the ground, his knees cracking loudly against the hardwood floor as he landed on his hands breathing there for a long moment.

“Haaaaah haaaaah hahh, what was that? I…” he shivered at the memory of the pain

“Am i dead?”

“Dude you’re fucking stupid thats what.” he heard the voice of his sister from his left towards the door.

Deadpanning he turned his head to the left “at least im tall and stupid, not short and stupid unlike you!” He said quick on his feet as he climbed up from the ground.

She rolled her eyes “whatever, Just don’t wake me up so early next time from your idiocy, it’s literally 4:30 in. the. Morning!” She seethed as she left his room heading towards her room.

“Ok…..” he replied slowly as he realized where he was.

‘Wasn’t I just at the hospital? Didn’t I have an MRI or something, wait………no its fine I was probably dreaming’ he thought picking his phone up looking at the date 

‘Its still may 11th, guess it was all just a bad dream, man that was too realistic. Maybe I should cut down on the energy drinks at night.’ 

He sighed shaking his head as he left his room headed for the kitchen.

‘And that car crash part, man was that freaky, I swear I can still hear the scraping of metal on asphalt’ Tyrian shivered going down the stairs quickly trying not to make too much noise.

Walking into the kitchen he went to his fridge getting out a drink and gulping it down 

‘Haah that was good, hmm its kinda of strange though usually I forget my dreams like moments after I wake up, isn’t that like the norm for most people statistically speak-‘

He stopped in his tracks as the can of soda slipped from his grasp, his eyes bulging from their place on his face as he caught his breath in his throat.

What appeared before him was utterly improbable, NO impossible even.

‘…….Fuck.’ Was all he could manage to think as he read through the menu that was in front of him.

He glanced away and look back at the letters reading them carefully but they never changed

‘That rules out dreaming, usually your brain can’t keep information like words for than a single glance especially in dreams. Hahahaa but there is no way, NO WAY this isn’t a dream’ he blinked pulling his hand to his face and pinching his cheek

“Ow, a cliché but hkmm” 

he closed his eyes and thought long and hard

‘Fine okay say this is real, what does that change? Nothing. Other than my understanding of reality as I know it. Everything is the same…….’ 

He shot open his eyes ‘Other than the fact that IF this is real I…….I time traveled, its supposed to be the 12th AND im supposed to have been in a car accident TODAY. What could possibly be important enough about me for the ‘system’, which im guessing runs the….what world? Universe? I don’t know, to send me back in time?’

He shook his head looking at the soda that had pooled on the floor at his feet.

‘Screw this im just going to worry about what I can right now. Not…..this bullshit’ he thought attempting to shoo the screen away, blinking as it disappeared from view.

He left for the washroom, grabbing a hand towel and cleaning up the spilled drink from the ground trying his best to not think about what had just transpired.

He headed back upstairs to his room closing and locking the door behind him.

He sat on his bed; back against the wall, as he tapped his chin slowly.

“Stats” the menu appeared, he dismissed it

“Menu” it appeared again, once more he dismissed it

“Status” the screen appeared only much shorter this time

“Oh……….OHHH, magic?? This, this changes alot. Okay the first quest is immediately out of the window. Not committing murder, but hmm what is a magical rite? And number 4 is out too, where am i supposed to haggle in this day and age, but stealing something would be easy, and convincing someone to do something for me would be pretty easy too, but would i get good stuff is the real question……wait it says entity, so would a dog count? Or like anything.” Tyrian monologued thinking out loud as he looked at the screen absent minded.

“Alright ill take quest 5, it gives me the most stuff so thats an easy choice, and that mind skill draw seems interesting. And two hidden stats seems like a good choice to be honest, I wonder what ill get” he smirked his mind racing

“Wait wait wait, first ill check this ‘gift’ of mine <inventory> wasn’t it? Sounds extremely useful!” 

As he uttered the words the gift activated and before his eyes was two new things

One a screen, the other an outline of a cube in the air.

“Thats about….three feet? So a yard…so roughly one cubic meter? I think. Thats quite a bit of storage!” 

He looked at the laptop closed on his desk across from him in the room, holding his hand out he focused on it

It disappeared from its place the charger that was connected falling limp onto the desk as the inventory screen updated

“So it works at a distance, i’d say thats around 5-8 feet away. I wonder what the range of it is? But I wonder how that speed is calculated, probably from my stats huh? I mean 10 times 14 is 140 and, I certainly don’t run 140 miles an hour………but I do run at 14 miles an hour! Track and field ain’t for nothing!” He said proudly to himself his chest puffing out

“So speed is AGI*END and drop the last number. Seems easy enough still weird to be defined by quantities though” he frowned looking down at his body

Sighing he shook his head and reopened the quest window selecting quest 3 and quest 5

“Of course there a hidden time limit, why wouldn’t there be. Whatever its long enough that I won’t have worry about failing it, bleh im dead tired still” he blinked his eyes slowly

“Aaaugh, Im gonna nap till its actually morning time” he said looking at his phone “its only 5:23, I have time for sleep still” 

Tyrian then laid back into his bed drifting into a light sleep.
