System Create

*Beep* *Beep *Beep*

'My alarm shouldn't be going off its Saturday'. I reached over and grabbed my phone to turn the alarm off. Then I noticed that my phone wasn't even on yet. I looked around to find the alarm but saw only one thing. I panel seemingly floating in midair in front of me was beeping as soon as I looked at it the beeping stopped. the panel had a single question on it 'Would you like to start he system?' under which two buttons were found saying the two obvious choices yes or no. 'Why not, mom always was accepting though cautious though dad would simply have said yes for sheer giggles I think.' so I reached out to tap yes but as i started to move my hand the yes was already indicated as if it was reading my thoughts. The panel disappeared to be replaced immediately by another. 'Congrats on becoming the Player' it states and the after a minute it too vanished. "What the hell was that?"

"Hey watch your mouth missy!" my mom called from the hallway outside my door. "Get dressed and come downstairs dad is making chocolate chip pancakes and bacon for breakfast!" she said in a singsong tone.

"Yes best breakfast for the weekend" I said excitedly as I quickly ran downstairs still in my nightwear. Something felt very different from normal. My thoughts drifted to the weird messages this morning but at that moment the smell of bacon and chocolate being cooked brought me out of my mind.

After breakfast my mom and dad decided to go on a drive to the grocery store for dinner supplies. I decided to do the dishes and then get my homework done. After I worked for a few minutes on dishes I heard a mechanical beeping and looked up. 'Skill learned Cleaning Dishes Lvl: 1' "What the?" as I thought about it more information appeared.

Skill: Cleaning Dishes Lvl:1 = The ability to clean dishes and make them shine. Current level allows clean but stained.

'Seriously that is ridiculous' what good is a skill that is only useful after meals. 'Oh well let's get this done I have a ton of homework to do.' My skill leveled twice before I finished and was able to keep moving on with my day.

I started my homework and heard another *beep* and looked up yet another of the panels appeared 'XP +15'. 'Did I just gain experience points from studying?' I thought to myself. Then something I hadn't even realized crossed my mind and I decided to test something out. I began racing through different books and reading random passages out of them. Certain books gave xp while there were others that didn't do anything finally the pile of books had been sorted and organized. I finally noticed that there was a connection between them the books based on facts and other useful knowledge gave xp. while the books based on fantasy and fiction did nothing. 'Strange I wonder how much xp I need to level up' I thought it would be nice to know what my stats would be to.

*Beep* again the mechanical alarm sounded and a new panel appeared before my eyes 'Please select key phrase to open player information panel.'

'Ok let's go with *Stats* that's easy and quick to say right?' I was just about to speak verbally when the panel was replaced by another that read '*Stats* will be set as key phrase for player information panel confirm' again asking yes or no. I didn't even lift my hand this time as I thought 'Yes.' and once again it highlighted and disappeared. 'It seems to respond to my thoughts, that's kinda cool. now let's take a look at my *Stats*' I summoned the player information panel.

Addy Lvl: 1

Xp: 280/400

Strength: 10

Dexterity: 10

Intelligence: 10

Vitality: 10

Agility: 10

Perception: 10

Available stat points (14)

I immediately noticed I was over halfway to my next level and that I have abnormally high luck. I decided that I was going to put my new available stat points in dexterity, agility, and perception. I want to keep these three balanced as they can go hand and hand from what I guessed by their names.

"Addy we are home" Dad called up the stairs to me. "Can you come help us real quick?" he added after a second.

I replied quickly "Sure on my way!" and went downstairs. "Hey how much did you get guys?" I noticed the already large pile of grocery bags sitting by the door. 'Should I carry them to the kitchen or just let them sit there and go unload the car?' my question was answered before I could ask as dad walked in with another arm full of bags.

"That's the last of them let's go put it all away! I want to get done quick cause we have frozen food and some new spices I want to try out!" he said excitedly not even stopping to set his load down and just carried it to the kitchen. I grabbed some bags and followed it took three trips to get them all brought over. another half hour later and we finally finished. "Yes now time for lunch what do you want Addy-bear" he asked using the nickname he gave me when I was a baby.

I hadn't even thought about it but I wasn't actually hungry yet. So I replied by politely declining saying I had to go finish me homework. Which was true because of what happened earlier I didn't finish yet. He handed me a bag of snacks and said "Dont tell your mom but I grabbed these while she wasn't looking at least you can snack between now and dinner right?" He smiled at me, I giggled in response. He was always doing this without moms knowing though some of the snacks were his and I just hid them for him and in turn he got some of my favorites too.

Carrying the bag I returned to my room. and started my homework again. *Beep* the all too familiar alarm sounded again so I looked back at it 'Studying lvl up Intelligence stat +1' and then disappeared soon after. 'That's new oh well let's get this over and done with. two hours later I had finished all of my homework and had heard the alarm go of every so often. so I decided to check and see what they said. As i looked up I noticed the panel in front of me 'Studying Lvl +8 Intelligence +2' that's good profit on homework I thought and grabbed a bag of chips from the snack bag hidden in my closet.

"Addy come here please" mom called from her room this wasn't good I was only called into their room when I'm in trouble. I found that it was easier to go quickly rather than slowly as it makes the punishment worse if i don't hurry. "Oh good your here which dress do you think I should wear to your party tomorrow?"

I nearly had a panic attack at this. She was showing me a red dress with black lace around the sleeves and neck and a green dress that had blacks accents every so often. "Green would be better mom" I replied calmly. The party in question was my 16th birthday party and was a big deal at least according to my mom and some of my other friends thought so. I didn't care one way or the other as the result was the same I got a few presents and my friends come over for cake, ice cream, and homemade chocolate candies my dad makes for special occasions.

"I thought so. What a matter baby?" seeing my face was a little red she became worried.

"I'm fine mom just thought I was in trouble that's the only time you call me in here." I replied feeling kind of embarrassed.

Her response was swift and kind "Oh baby I am sorry I worried you. I have a gift for you though!" she then pulled out a box from under her bed and handed it to me. I opened it quickly of course and found a beautiful black dress. "Try it on I want to see how it fits you." My mom said enthusiastically so I had to otherwise she would give the puppy dog pout.

I began undressing and putting the new dress on it was smooth as silk and felt warm. "Mom it fits perfectly!" I know I turned 16 last week but my parents always celebrated late as they work a lot. "I will wear this for the party tomorrow!" my mom simply beamed at me happily.
