3 POWER TESTER-I II

The world turned white down. Jakes quickly removed the eyewear fearing it might start again. He fidgeted all over.

"Did I die? " He asked the lady.

She wore an emotionless look. She then looked at the mother who looked as if that was the result she was expecting.

"Let's try again. " She said as she got busy with her screen again. "Put it on. "

Jakes first hesitated, then consoled himself that it won't be as bad as the first one.

This time he found himself in an abandoned house in a very muddy area. The floor was covered with fern.

'This hologram look real. ' He thought to himself. 'let me try and see if it is as real as it sounds. The system left me some time to understand my environment. He walked to the wall ignoring the decaying furnitures.

'I'm not smelling anything, so it should not be real.'

He touched the wall and to his greatest surprise, he could touch the moss.

'It's slippery means it is real. Let me check the furnitures.'

He gently walked to the furnitures as the wooden floor was decaying with mushrooms here and there near the wooden pillars.

'No monster coming yet?' He thought as he noticed a little door on the wall at the other end of the room. 'Or is it a water zombie?'

*Creak*

That wasn't me, I did not even move.

*Thump* *Thump*

Another debris fell from his hand rolling around the ground into a hole. The floor had broken underneath the table. He bent to see where it went to.

*Open*

He noticed a pair of eyes. They were straight at him.

'Should I run outside? What if they are mo4?' He contemplated. 'It's not shaking.'

He then noticed the slimy outline of it's skin.

It is a reptile.' He thought as he jumped to his feet to run from the hole. The creature opened its mouth. Breaking the wood on which he -once - stood.

He leaned on a pillar but it fell for the wood was decaying. A dead silence followed after the sound of the wood from falling reveberated.

*Silence*

He stood, shaking all over but trying his best not to make a sound.

*Tch* *Tch*

His teeth chattered out of fear. 'Is it gone?' He stood for some seconds but so soon his curiosity laid hold of him. 'I have to check out. After all, I must die.' He thought. 'What matters is how long I survive.'

As he put his head out to see. At this time he was by the place he had appeared. But the creature had broken the floor.

'It must have strong jaws.' He thought.

All of a sudden, he saw a large creature, very big. Its width as long as the length of your hands when you spread them apart, each in its side. It propelled itself to the floor, breaking it as it did.

He jumped back and his back scurvied against the wall.

'No escape.' He thought as he breathe heavily. His heart pounded against his chest at a very high rate that it seemed it will explode in anytime soon. 'Only if I remove this eyewear, but I want to see how much I can survive. I wonder how long I have been in this system.'

*Crack*

It's a KOMODO DRAGON. It's a kind of reptile, looks like abit like a crock but isn't. Its meat is condensed and has very strong jaws. Its jaws are what it used for attacks. And its skin very slimy from a substance its skin produces for lubrication.

"Woahh!!!!" He screamed as it dragged him into the mud below the house. He tried sitting up by he hit his head against the wood above him.

'It hurts.' He moaned. 'It's not time for this.' He said to himself he snapped out of his pain. He was no more under the house now, so he now could sit up.

He quickly sat up and tried to open its mouth. But its jaws were too strong. He tried harder, pulling it with all his might. Its jaws did not shake the littlest but. His fingers soon started bleeding to no avail.

He did not feel a pain in his right leg in the dragon's mouth. It's like he was ingesting it.

He quickly drew out his pen from his pocket.

"Thank God you came along. " He then turned it and pulled it - revealing a sharp metal on each side - hitting the metal button at the end of each side. Revealing two long thin daggers in each hand.

He shucked the daggers into its head, deep into his head. Its mouth snapped open letting his leg go.

He tried getting up but he couldn't, his right leg was numb. It started crawling to him. He tried crawling backwards but ended up wounding himself with the daggers. It tore his hands.

He sighed as he sat up and looked at his wounds. The mud and blood was all over his hand. His feet was also dirty with the mud. He tried smelling it but it didn't smell in abit.

It drew closer but he sat there moaning the pain in his hand. He cleaned the mud on his left hand with the back of his right hand. He brought his hand close to his lips.

*Lick*

But the blood has taste.

*Huff*

'Now tell me, it's in a group.'

As he turned to look what was behind him. Its mouth snapped shut just above his head. But he missed it at a hair's breath as he immediately laid on the floor.

He took the dagger and shucked it into its eyes, then the other.

'Now it's blind. Let me see how it will get me.' He huffed as he swiped the mud from his face.

*Snap*

"Owww!!. " He howled louder than the first as another grapped his left leg between its teeth and was pulling him. He tried getting his dagger but it was now far.

He tried using his right to hit its mouth but it was useless as his foot was numb.

'How long will this last?' He asked exasperated. As the pain surging through out his body was getting unbearable.

"I won't take this. " He huffed as his pupils turned white. He was about it put his hand over its head when he stopped halfway.

'I can't use my abilities.' He thought. 'Mom is surely watching this.'

The world turned white again.
