NIGHT OF THE SOUNDGOD I

"it's almost time for the concert" said Grey glancing at his phone.

"I better call Kat" I said to myself as I unplugged my phone to call her.

Ringing

"Hello" she said. "I was about to call you up" she said into the receiver.

"Oh… So, where am I supposed to meet you?" I asked.

"Don't worry, I'll pick you up my cousin lent me her car for the weekend" she said.

"That's nice"

"So, I'll reach your university by five" she said in a quirky voice.

"You won't believe what happened?" I said as I tried to keep the conversation going.

"What happened? Tell me" she said.

"Grey got tickets to Soundgod Fest" I simply said.

"No way, that's insane" she said with disbelief evident in her voice, "How did he even get them? Those tickets can't be seen anymore no matter how much you're willing to take out" she said.

"Tell me about it…" I said chucking.

"Your cousin must have an insane amount of luck" she said, "That's great anyway, we'll all go together" she said laughing.

"Ok, I'll see you at five" I replied before ending the call.

…

"Hyla what are you doing go take a shower and freshen up, we'll be late if you don't take a shower now" said Grey.

"Yeah" chimed Enri who was super excited after Grey gave him the second ticket.

"Chill, by the way we'll be going with Kat" I said.

"Who is Kat?" asked Enri, as Grey looked at me with raised brows.

"Katrina from the party" I simply replied.

"Oh… looks like they have given each other nicknames already" said Grey as he extended his hand out to pat my head.

"Don't do that" I said cutting him off in the middle of his gesture. "we're just friends" I immediately added.

"Sure, if you say so" said Enri as he turned immediately to look at his ticket which he had hung up with a magnet on the metal panel close to his bed.

Ignoring them both I walked to the bathroom to take my bath.

"Hyla, you need to see something" said Blue out of nowhere as he displayed the stat menu.

BLUE BASIC STATS:

Stat points needed for levelling up

Stamina - 15

Strength - 12

Agility - 24

Vitality - 15

Detection – 12

Speed – 20

Current Level: Level 2

Progress tracker: 15/100 to level 3

I had forgotten to check my stat menu with everything going on the past couple of days, now looking at it I could clearly see that even though my basic stats did not increase at all, I realized that there were two new notifications added to the stat menu.

Unlike before the stat menu did not display my current level, not to even mention a progress tracker.

"What's the progress tracker for?" I asked.

"It will monitor your progress during your training, you could use it to know when you reach a higher level." Explained Blue.

"What's the importance of leveling up? Is it like in games?" I asked.

"Yeah, more or less the same as leveling up in games except you will be able to use your skills longer" he said.

"ok"

"The higher your level the stronger are, and the higher your level the shorter the cool down time for your skills" said Blue, "Make sure to level up quickly" he said before disappearing.

…

"So, where are we supposed to meet Katrina?" asked Enri who was anxious since it was almost five.

"Relax, I'll call her" I said to them.

"Hyla, I've almost reach your dorm, you guys should come down" said Katrina before I could even say anything.

"Ok, we'll be right down" I said.

Turning around "Let's go we'll meet her downstairs" I said before grabbing my jacket.

"Fantastic" said Enri smiling.

…

"Over here!!" screamed Katrina from the parking lot the moment she saw us come out of the building.

"Woohoo!!! Let's go" said Grey and Enri as they suddenly increased their walking speed.

Opening the car's doors, we saw Macy and Susanne as well inside the Mini Van honestly, I quite happy Grey and Enri got those tickets because if they didn't I would have to be the only guy in the car, talk about very awkward.

"Well looks like we're good to go" said Katrina before driving.

"Hell yeah, lets hit the road" said Macy, "it will take us almost an hour to get there!!!" she said impatiently.
