The Fate System?

After a few hours...

"Wait... I'm alive?" Jay asked himself as he tried to look around.

"I'm still in my room, no burn marks on anything, and Nuggets is still alive... What the hell did Hellson do to me this time?" Just as Jay was thinking about this, a familiar 'sound' came from his mind.

[Welcome to the Fate System...]

"WHAT!!! HOW???" Then he heard Hellson's voice in his head.

"Test Subject #119 of the Fate System. My name is Hellson, the creator of this system. May it prove useful in your endeavors."

When Jay heard this, he was shocked and became very curious and continued listening.

"The reason why I chose you to have this system I created is because you are different from the ones we people call as 'Players'. None of them cares about the knowledge within the Fatelord Plane we live in and it is only a matter of time before the races coming from the other planes invades us. Please, help us..."

Then the voice went out and the system began working again for Jay.

For a few minutes, Jay was very confused on what he just heard and asked himself "Fatelord Plane? Other Planes? Hellson even knows about players? What? This is not supposed to be part of the game right? I should just check the system if it is still the same."

Jay then tried to use the system. But instead of some kind of gaming menu appearing on his mind, he was transported to box shaped room that was made out of steel.

Unknown Place

"What the hell is this?" Jay did not know what's happening anymore.

Jay looked around and saw that there were different items in each corner of the room. In front of him was the usual display menu of his stats, at his right was a bookshelf without anything on it, at his left was a shelf that had three orbs placed on it, and at his back was a map.

"This is really, really weird. Is this just within my mind or did I really got transported to this place? Then, how do I leave?"

Jay spent hours looking around to find an exit. Just as he was about to give up hope, he noticed a glowing yellow dot on the map.

"Strange. What is this?" Jay then tried touching it.

When Jay touched it, the map instantly changed and turned into a map of Murkwood. Jay then saw his exact coordinates at the map.

"Woah! What the hell! Then... what happens if I touch the dot again?"

After a few seconds, Jay realized that he was back in his room and tried looking out of his window.

"Damn... I wonder what day is it now." Jay then went out of his room and went to the first floor of the Drunken Rooster Inn.

He was surprised to see that his friends and other self was still there eating and drinking. Jay decided to approach them.

"Hey guys. I do not want to disturb you for long so I am just going to ask a weird question. How many days did you guys stayed in this inn?"

When they heard Jay's question, they did not know what to say since they just left his room a few minutes ago when he asked them to leave.

Roasted Boar, Jay's other self then decided to answer his weird question "Kid, are you sure you did not receive a backlash from learning the spell? We just left your room a few minutes ago..."

When Jay heard what Roasted Boar said, he felt a little bit of embarrassment so he quickly apologized for asking a weird question and went back upstairs to his room.

When he entered his room, he saw that Nuggets already regained consciousness. He knew that something withing Nuggets might have changes as well due to the white flame from Hellson so he decided to let her be for the time being while he explore the other features included in the new version of the Fate System he got.

"Should I call it the Fate System Room or something? It feels weird. I should just call it the Mind Room which slides more easily of the tongue... hehehe..."

Jay then proceeded and used the Fate System

-----------------------

"Strange... Tame is not included in my skills. As for my race... unknown bloodlines? Descriptions of spells and skills are changed. Even the numbers are changed into Roman Numbers... I guess the only good thing about this is that it is cleaner to look at." Jay mumbled to himself as he finished reading his stats.

"I wonder what those orbs are..." Jay then decided to look at the 3 orbs located at the left side of the room.

He then noticed a label under each of the orbs. The first one was 'Storage', the second one was 'Viewing', and the third was 'Creation'.

"Okay... I understand that the Storage Orb is a spacial object to store items, as for the second one and third one..." Jay then decided to observe it more closely and tried to use the 'Viewing' orb.

"Weird... Nothing is happening." Just as Jay was going to use the Creation Orb, recordings of him using the Whirlwind Kick appeared on the Viewing Orb.

"I see... This orb is used to comprehend spells or skills better. Then I guess the Creation Orb is when I want to create anything right?"

Jay then touched the Creation Orb. The moment he did, a book popped out of thin air beside it which has the label 'Recipe Book' on it.

Jay's curiosity peaked when he saw this book so he quickly opened it. But sadly, the moment he did, he realized that the pages had no writings on it.

"I suppose I need to make my own recipes for the things I make then... I should try the bookshelf next."

Jay then went to the bookshelf located at the right side of the room. When he got closer to it, books appeared within the bookshelf. When Jay read the title written on each of the book, he was surprised.

"Indestructible, Chilling Hand, Whirlwind Kick... so if I find skill or spell books in the future, it will get stored here? Nice!"

After messing around with the bookshelf, Jay then went over the last new function of the new Fate System. The map at the back side of the room.

"I wonder what functions the map has?"
