3 Dreidel
Zach gets home and quickly closes the door while panting.
.Shit! shit shit shit!!, I actually stabbed him!?!
He looks down at his hand that still holds the object he stabbed Sajid with. What he sees is the familiar looking 4 sided spinning top that he left on his desk this morning.
.Wait, wheres the blood?.
Realising there is no sign of the blood from earlier. The cut still on his hand still oozing blood confirms that what happened earlier was real.
While trying to figure out what had just happened earlier; why he had the dreidel in his pocket, what were those numbers and where the blood had gone.
He realises his Mother is still supposed to be home, he scans the living room and checks the couch where she usually is... He sees her laying there looking as unkempt as usual, she seems to be sleeping so he leaves her alone.
He sees a cooked pot of plain pasta with no sauce on the stove, ignoring tonight's dinner he walks upstairs into his room.
Entering, he throws himself into the bed exhausted.
Sitting up on his bed he takes the dreidel out and looks at it cautiously, examining it more carefully reveals that its point is a lot sharper than a normal spinning top. Considering he had just caused a stab wound. It now had made sense to him.
On top of the handle of the relatively large spinning top. To what seems to looks like a button, it makes a click sound as if it was a pen when he presses it.
[System formed blood contract with recipient Zachary Miller]
[Absorbed small amount of blood from a human +1]
[Enabling assistance mode, Host can receive information from the system]
.What is this!.
Zach drops the dreidel when lines of text start streaming down his retina. After he calms down he reads the text that looks like it was photo-shopped from an RPG.
.Information... O ok system, What are you?.
[*Information limited* The system is a tool that you can use to make you stronger, effect the world in limitless ways and evolve the human condition]
.Make me stronger?.
[Yes, would you like to see hosts current status]
Zach is worried about this "system", don't things like this usually come from the devil and demand your soul in return for power?
.Yes, show the status.

.What does condition mean?.
[Condition is your state of health, current is Fine which denotes that damage was recently taken]
.Errr what is the average persons stats?.
[The average person has a 10 in their stats, it should be noted that it is unlikely for a human to be completely average without changes]

.What does the pack leader skill do?.
[Enables skill holder to gather a group of people with lower intelligence and strength more effectively]
.Huh, makes sense.
Zach ponders whether this is actually happening and his future possibilities, with the system i should have unlimited potential.
.System exp means experience right?.
[Yes]
.What happens when it reaches 10?.
[Host will have an opportunity to increase their abilities]
.How do i gain Exp?.
[Absorbing blood from creatures, largely affecting the world and making accomplishments]
.Can you give an example of affecting the world?.
[Destroying cities, Building cities, exterminating races are all applicable]
Zach gets a cold sweat, this is definitely from the Devil.
.How do I make accomplishments?.
[Mastering a skill, Defeating strong opponents, Conquering large amounts of women, strongly going towards one alignment such as good/evil lawful/chaotic]
.So its basically impossible!.
Zach takes note of the conquering women while salivating.
[Host has 5 stat points and a spin available for use as a reward for activating the system]
.Errr any recommendations on the allocation?.
[Hosts luck is extremely low and can result in disasters just by existing]
.Wait!, really, is that why my life has been hell!?.
[Its a possibility]
.Allocate all stat points to luck!.

Zach heaves a sigh as he thinks that all his troubles were caused by missing 5 stat points.
.Now i gotta deal with Sajid, System is there any way for me to avoid being stabbed by him and his goons?.
[Host still has a spin to use]
.Spin?.
[Spin the system for a random reward]
.Ah, so the shape isn't just aesthetic?.
Zach sits at his desk and prepares to spin the dreidel
.Here goes nothing.
He spins it as hard as he can,
It spins for what seems to be forever and slowly wiggles then falls to the side.
The side that's facing up glows and has an icon on it, the icon looks like an eye that's half opened.
[Congratulations host for getting skill: Unveiling eye. It allows user to see weaknesses in things they look at]
Zach feelings a stinging pain in his eyes and closes them.
[Host please keep eyes closed until change is done, please note if you open your eyes there is a possibility of permanent blindness]
.What!, not even a warning!?!.
Zach shouts as he clenches his hands, feet and even butt trying to endure the pain.
After a couple minutes he gets a notification and opens his eyes.
He looks down at his desk where the dreidel lays, he sees a subtle black line running through the middle of the table. In-fact he sees small black lines on everything except the dreidel...
He musters his courage and presses down on a black line on the desk, and nothing happens.
.Maybe it requires something else?.
He grabs the dreidel aims down at the black line and puts strength in it.
The desk splits in half and falls to each side.
.My desk!!!!!!!.
He immediately regrets his curiosity as he tries to tape the desk back together with the utility tape from his parents room.
Zach thinks about what would happen if he used it on a human and shudders.
.I don't have the courage to use this on a human....
