1 Chapter 1: Before tomorrow

Today is like the previous others days of my life. Full of numbness, mediocre and nothingness. I don't know whether this world was the one cause of the current me to feel like this or all of it was myself.

It's not that I don't want to find something fun to do. But, I just couldn't. As an orphan plus with introvert personality I just had few friends. Then as I grow up to be an adult I feel isolated. The once friend become stranger. Maybe it kind of awkward to talk with them with my personality. I'm kind of person will getting others felt awkward and boring.

Well, all that not people said about me but my own perspective about how people look and feel about me.

"Ding host has been found!"

A sudden voice resounded in my head. My eyes just slightly widened in surprised. I wonder if I just heard wrong with my vast imagination as a writer.

I always write such a story too where a protagonist got a cheat like system to conquer the world and taken revenge to his enemy and subdue a lot of goddess to become his wife.

Though thus kinds of story already numb people because it already outdated. I still write it. Maybe, deep in the core of my heart, I want to have that kind of life too. I just couldn't.

"...18% 25% 38%...99% 100%" "Installation complete"

Well, maybe I just wrong in the head after write a lot of system like story. I know as a writer, I tend to have psychology problem but I never thought it could be this dangerous.

I touched my chin while wondering whether I should stop writing and rest. So I will got good mental condition again.

"Free gift ×10 was given to host." "Please check in host inventory."

So it getting worst. Maybe I should try check it. I just muttered my intention to check my inventory. A tab like screen appear in front of me.

Inventory:

Skill book× 1

Sword of Nothingness × 1

Boots of Stamina × 1

Healing pill × 5

Stat pill × 2

I was a little surprised but a blurted of little laughed couldn't help come from me. What the point giving me a sword? About boots of stamina even make me crazy. Stamina? As a writer, I rather choose boots of intelligence which give a vast knowledge to write a story of mine.

I wonder what the use of this system in my current life. I don't want fame because I know that only cause me to be an experimental subject.

"Ding, doom count down only left sixteenth hours left. Host please be prepared before the arrival of doom."

As soon I heard it, my expression become emotionless once again like always. I know there something wrong about the gift come from the system. But, I never expect something like this was announced from the system.

I wonder how the system know about it or the system was the one cause it?

"The doom is not cause by system."

Okay, now it even read my thought and denied to be the cause of the doom.

"The arrival of doom is cause by human. The system only need to analysis the environment near the host location to identify it."

Maybe the system said was correct but who and when it created. That's a unknown mystery should be taken in account.

"The system name is Encourage system. It was created by the vast imagination realm of living and only just created before immediately bind to the host's soul."

Okay, now it even bind to my soul. Though uncomfortable, I know there a lot of benefit for it to do that.

The first thing I should do for now is to check about the stuff I have in my inventory. I just intent my mind to take out the item I need to take and it immediately appear out of nowhere. It quite interesting to use the inventory. What worry me is the doom that had been told by the system is still vividly on mind.

The first thing I has taken out is a sword. The sword look ugly and ghostly. It's black as charcoal. Of course that just the outer appearance.

As I draw the sword from it scabbard. The crystal clear of metallic shine like a mirror could be seen.

At this point of time I understand that this sword pretty dangerously sharp and it edge has seem produce a sharp aura cutting every part of my nerve.

This sword will be dangerous even for me who don't even know of any sword art. I put it back into the scabbard and store it to my inventory.

Now let me check the skill book that I've had in the inventory. The book is pretty normal, and as soon I open it for a look. It turn into beam of light and shot toward my temple.

The numb feeling could be felt in my head. As a second passed the numb feeling disappear as if it never happened.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining the Observation analysis skill."

As I received the info from the system. I immediately use it toward my surrounding. I gazed at the pencil of the table.

pencil, 8.5 cm in length, 0.52 cm radius, ..., weak against fire.

As soon I intent my skill to analysis to the pencil. The pretty damn lot data appear in a tab screen in front of me.

Well, though it is a skill not use for killing like the sword. At very least it still a very useful for support and hidden ability to assist me to stay survive even longer.

Now it's the time for me try out the boots. I wear the boots and go out the the groceries store to buy a supply such as food and drink. I realise that I feel full of stamina no matter how long I walk from home to the groceries store and buy lots of stuff with me before back home without taking any transportation.

It's quite good to have as I don't have a time to train myself to build up my stamina. As the doom arrive I think this boots were good for me to increase the rate of survival of mine in the future.

It's the time to eat the stat pill. It's pink coloured tablet. I quite hesitate to eat it actually. Since the previous item was pretty normal for me to use. I think this pill won't killing me right.

I just put both the pill to swallow in a single gulp. An immediate spike of pain for my hold body immediately appear. All veins could be seen vividly on the outer appearance of my skin.

I pain and warm scare me which lead me to take out one of the healing pill to swallow. Of course as soon I eat the the healing pill the pain subside a lot.

I not going eat the other pills, so I immediately take a nap to rest body. I don't know how long time has passed after I wake up. I only fell like that I felt unknown strength inside body of mine.

As I look outside of through the window, I know the time only passed a little. Since it only start turn to gloomy which represent the night only about to start.

"Ding, the time before the doom is ten hours."

So the doom will start two hours after midnight. What a good time to start, where human deep in asleep all of them will not notice the change.

As for me, all I need to do is be prepared before tomorrow. My goal is to survive not to be hero. The strength of mine is strong I could feel it. All I need to do for now is adapting the change of my current body.

First of all, I need to learn some basic of martial art and especially sword art. I go browse the internet and download all the educational video that I need.

I only take s few hours to understand all the video and completely comprehend all of it.

The only last preparation is to put all of it into practical.

A few hours passed and all the basic art and sword art is learn in practical. All of thanks to my observation analysis to boost my comprehension.

I look the time at my smartphone at it shown midnight will coming soon. I take the shower with my worry wash away. It quite relaxing to take a shower after the training. I only lie on the bed and rest my head on the pillow while gazing at the ceiling.

I know that I cannot even sleep for now. I was thinking about how the world will change in the future. The dangerous type of danger is not anything but the unknown. Of course, I know the known danger are human itself. No one should be trusted because human tend to be selfish for self survival and it included me too.

The time passed slowly like never ever, maybe I know that I never take my time to carefully observe the time as a writer. Still, deep inside my heart, I wish for time to stop passing. I want to fully enjoy the remaining peace of my life.

I am fortunate to have the system to tell me about the doom. So, I can prepared myself and enjoy my remaining time more deeply.
