2 I'm Special!

{Ding} {Would you like to bind yourself to the system?}

"AAAAAAHHH" I screamed out of nowhere startling Aang and my sister awake and a few others nearby as well.

"What is it Sokka is someone attacking!" Aang yells out staff already in hand.

"What's going on!" Katara similarly panicked

"Didn't you guys hear that voice just now?" I replied looking around frantically. I heard the soulless voice one again speak.

{Would you like to bind yourself to the system?}

"There it is again!" I told them confidently this time. They just proceeded to look at me exasperated.

"Sokka are you sure you're not imagining it," Aang asked me equal parts concerned and annoyed. "it was probably just a nightmare, maybe you should get some sleep," he told me in all his sagely wisdom.

"Stop messing around Sokka we have to trade for King Bumi tomorrow remember, go back to sleep" Katara deems to remind me in that no-nonsense tone she uses to boss me and Aang around.

"If you're going to mess around wait until morning," she tells me, and just like that the conversation ends they both proceed to lay back down and fall asleep within seconds.

"I'm telling you guys I heard it," I say once again only for it to fall onto deaf ears. I start thinking I might've imagined it until...

{Would you like to bind yourself to the system?}

"Aha, who are you what do you want from me, are you a freaky spirit cause if so, Aang's the guy you're looking for," I tell the voice nearly panicking.

{I am a System a tool that helps my host increase their power drastically.}

{Would you like to bind yourself to the system?}

"You'll help me get stronger?" I ask cautiously, I should just say no and be done with it but recently more and more I've been feeling useless, it's what happens when you're traveling with the avatar himself and your sister is some super prodigy who learns waterbending like it's nothing. They're both so special while I'm just... not.

"... alright do it," I say in the most determined voice I can muster despite my growing concerns of this possibly being a trap.

{Binding 8% 34% 55% 69% 84% 99%... 100%}

{Binding process complete}

{Would you like a tutorial of the system}

{Yes} {No}

"um... yes," I say cautiously.

{Please say status}

+3 Charisma when leading

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

"Whoa... wait why am I only level 1?" I asked affronted

{1 all gamers start at level 1 no matter what strength it doesn't determine strength or value it determines experience. stats determine strength.}

"So you're saying if I use these stat points I can make myself stronger and faster just like that?" I asked

{Yes]

'YES! I'll add all my points to strength and be super strong... wait if this is real doesn't that mean I should be more careful with my points. I should think about it more logically since tomorrow we trade for Bumi shouldn't I use my points in charisma for it to go smoothly, then again as far as they are concerned we are the filthy earth kingdom peasants who make up the resistance no amount of charisma will fix their bigotry. So I should use them on some type of physical stat in case negotiations go south.'

'... so which stat should I choose?'

"System add these stat points to dexterity" I exclaim 'If dexterity is what I think it is this should be useful in not only helping my coordination with boomerang but it'll also help me with my balance I'm tired of failing and stumbling everywhere I don't want to be comic relief anymore.

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

Dexterity:13 ➡ 16

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

I immediately feel a type of energy enters my body coursing through every inch of my veins. A few seconds after it's done I open my eyes and I can tell right away that this whole system thing is real. I feel so different more agile way better than the past me. The fact that I'm special finally sinks in that I seem to have a tool that'll help me obtain seemingly limitless strength makes me so excited that all I can do is scream at the top of my lungs "IM SPECIAL!!!!" immediately though...

"SHUT UP SOKKA, PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!" my sister screeches back.

"SORRY, I'll sleep now."

"You're excited right Momo?" I quietly asked the flying lemur laying near me, wide awake thanks to my yelling.

*Screech*

"That's what I thought I can always count on you momo."

" I should get some rest the more prepared I am the better you can never be too careful when it comes to the fire nation, tomorrow will be the start of a whole new Sokka, it's Sokka time."

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

The Next Day

"What were you on about last night," Aang asks me right after waking up looking completely fine.

"...oh my dear Aang so young and naive unknowing of how the world works yet so sagely and mature let me tell you oh small friend of mine, yesterday-" I was interrupted by the system's cold hard emotionless voice in my head.

{Speaking about the system or its abilities is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply will see the system stripped from its host}

'...Huh?'
