System Introduction

A floating semi transparent blue screen pop out mid air with a message of:

[WELCOME BACK, PLAYER]

*Ting*

The welcome message was replaced.

THE SYSTEM:

~New Quest Has Arrived~

[QUEST :  Escape the Laboratory]

Rewards:

25 experience points

1x Small Healing Potion

1x Random Weapon Box (Rank F -C)

<Accept >    <Decline >

'I am really in a lab? ' She crumpled her face after reading the quest title.

She pulls herself in a sitting position and manages to sit down feeling less pain. Maybe not in lesser pain, the level of pain remains the same but it became tolerable because pain tolerance has been built.

The tube in her nape is still intact after sitting out but since it was stretched out there is some blood running down her spine .

'What is this screen?'  She finally notices how peculiar the floating screen is. Reaching out to the screen and her hand went through it, bumping accidentally the <Decline > option.

The System:

Are you sure you want to <Decline >  [QUEST :  Escape the Laboratory] ?

Declining / Failing on this quest will result in immediate death of the player.

<Yes >    <No >

"...!" She shrieked at the sudden message popping out. She slowly reaches for the NO option and the previous message returns.

'I don't have a choice then. Escaping this place, I want that too.' Feeling skeptical of this set up like a game.

Intently staring at the floating screen, she finds the message welcoming her back bothers her.

'Did I use this before?' The memory lost is starting to irritate her. All the unanswered questions keep piling up.

She reached for <Accept > Option. A white box surrounding it appears.

THE SYSTEM:

[New Quest has been added]

<Exit >

The blue screen disappeared after pressing <Exit >.

'That's it?!-- eiik!" A zap of electricity in her nape flowed at the same time. She inhales slowly and starts thinking.

'. . . if this is like a game, some basic commands should also be implied. The rewards have 25 exp points therefore it has some leveling system. Is it possible that the current level or stat can be viewed?  A menu or stat window. . . . . . . . how do I see it?'

She pauses for a while and thinks long and hard as she supports her head with hands and rests there.

' . . . there should be a certain button or command to open the stat window. Should I press something?? Is that possible in real life?. . . . . . . wait Is this even reality? Am I even alive? or am I  in hell paying for my sins? Maybe I am avat------"

*ting*

THE SYSTEM:

The System detected confusion.

Open System Tutorial

<Yes >  <No >

The appearance of the floating blue screen renders her speechless and creeped out. Can it read minds? Her head is throbbing but she still presses the <Yes > option.

*Ting*

THE SYSTEM:

The System is a program created to help The Player survive.

To summon The System, The Player may do the following Commands:

* Voice Activation: Say "Open System!"

* Hand gesture : Using your index and middle finger swipe down.

To force close The System:

* Voice Activation: Say "Close System"

* Hand gesture: Using your index and middle finger Swipe up

[Would you like to try?]

<Yes >  <No >

<YES >

"Argh. Ah. ugh." Crackling sound is the only thing her vocals can produce.

'I can't use voice activation.' She massaged her throat. Her hands raise in the air and swipe down.

Blue screen opens mid air. This time the screen looks like a game menu window with tabs rather than a message window.

[ Would you like to continue the tutorial? ]

<Yes >  <No >

<YES >

A small shining white box appeared inside the window, highlighting a tab with PROFILE name on it.

The Player's attribute can be viewed here, including the Player's level, title, skills and stat

The small white box moves onto another tab QUESTS.

Here, all the accepted quests will be displayed. When a guest arrives, the player may choose to Accept or Decline.

Upon completion of quests a set of rewards will be given. Failing or Declining will result in a Penalty.

'. . . Declining. . .That I know. You almost executed me earlier. ' She thought while reading.

The white box moves to another tab INVENTORY.

All the items acquired by the player can be stored here. Reward items will automatically be sent here.

The white box continues to move in other tabs in the Menu Window while giving short explanations.

[Congratulations, You finished the tutorial]

<Exit >

<EXIT >

After pressing the <Exit > option the system closes down. Swiping the air and the system pops out once again. The System displays the menu window with the tabs on the left side. She reached out on the Profile tab and her profile was displayed.
