A System. First Quest.

DING!

Devon woke with a start and found himself in a bed. He was in blue overalls, one used for patients in the hospital. He was in a freaking hospital.

DING!

The ringing sound came again startling him but he quickly calmed down when he saw the floating message in front of him. In his mind, he should be freaking out by now and people should be calling him mad or crazy or something but here he was, completely calm. What the fuck was wrong with him!

[System Awakening Successful]

"System?"

[Booting…1%]

[Booting…30%]

[Booting…70%]

[Booting…100%]

He finally remembered that he had seen a similar interface before he fell unconscious. As he tries comprehending what was happening, he felt movement on his laps and a soft breath on his right hand. He looked and saw the beautiful face of the person he wished for, the girl he had fantasized about all his life, Mia Nolen, sleeping comfortably on his laps. There was also a white fox with six tails lying gracefully at the foot of the bed. Devon made an attempt to sit but found his right hand stuck under a pair of soft balls, Mia's boobs. He was surprised and shocked. Was this a dream or reality? And that face, it looked so cute and harmless. He started having fantasies as his wolfy fingers surrounded one of their victims and attacked it. His right hand had lost its virginity. They have evolved from the toddler phase to the youth phase. What was better than this? To get feel of the soft boobs of your number 1 crush; this is the life.

Mia sensing some movements opened her eyes to see Devon drowned in 'Palus Somnii.' His eyes were livelier than ever, one of the things she liked about Devon. Even in his situation as a commoner, he made people have hope and you could see that hope in those green eyes even if he was in perverted mode. She hurriedly got up with a red face as she had noticed the unrestrained attack of Devon's wolfy fingers on her boobs.

PAH!

She looked at Devon with a complicated expression and ran out of the room with a red face, her fox right on her tail. Devon touched his right cheek and stared, mouth wide at Mia as she disappeared from the room. "Did she like it or was I just dreaming?" He asked himself. As he was slowly coming to reality, he saw another row of messages.

[Quest:Lay In A Very Cold Water For 5 Hours]

[Time Limit:12 Hours]

[Penalty:Lose A Limb]

[Countdown Starts Now!]

[00:01]

"What the fuck is this? A system, cold water, 5 hours, lose a limb? What kind of shit is this?!" "What are you cursing about?" A delicate, soft male voice said jokingly. It belonged to a short, cute boy with brown hair and golden eyes. He wore a white suit and held some kind of tablet in his hands. Devon couldn't understand what was going on. If the guy was an ordinary person, he would have cursed him already but from his brief time in the BRC, he acknowledged those in white suits to be people in great positions.

[Don't Act Stupid]

"Huh?! Oh it's nothing. I'm alright." "That's good to hear. I'm Lincoln Temple by the way and you must be Devon Smith, right?" "Y…yeah. Is there something wrong?" "The boss will tell you everything. She's on her way hear." "O…kay"

"Thanks Le…Lincoln. I will take it from here" a sweet voice sounded from the entrance of the room. A beautiful woman in casual clothes came into view. Miss Béli dismissed Lincoln and sat on Devon's bed. "Welcome back." She said. "Thanks I guess…" "Oh it's nothing. I have good and priceless news." "What do you mean?" " I mean I have one good news and one priceless news. The priceless one is a surprise though." "I guess I would listen to the good one then." "You awakened. And, it's the Telekinesis Variant of the Psychic affinity. Congratulations." "T…thanks. I can't believe I awakened. I thought I was going to die…" "That's the past. You've been unconscious for two weeks already so you should think of other things." "Thanks. Err… Miss Béli…"

DING!

[8 Hours Left]

'What the fuck! I thought I had twelve hours!'

[I Hate What You Are Doing]

'What kind of shitty system is this?!"

[You Got A Problem Or You Want To Reduce Your Time?(^,~,^)]

'You…' "I'm listening, Devon." Miss Béli's voice saved Devon from what the system was going to do with his next words. "I wanted to ask….why are you so good to me? Why are you helping me? You're different to me than the others. Why?" Devon asked with a confused face. "Sigh…I guess you noticed. Take it as repayment of a favor. You would understand when the time is right." "B…" "No buts. Your friends and family are waiting to see you. Here, change and let's go." "O…okay. What about Mia? She seemed…" "Let's say she's just happy to see you. That's all"

[+2 Hours]

[Don't Try My Patience Again Boy!]

"Huh, thanks a bunch."

[You Know You Can Talk To Me Telepathically. You Were Doing It Just Some Few Seconds Ago.("~")]

'Hehe. My bad'

...

Devon sat beside Mia in Miss Béli's car. It was a silver Audi R8 model. She avoided eye contact with him; in fact, she looked a bit angry but she was still blushing aggressively. Devon tried talking to her but he couldn't bring himself to it. He felt guilty for taking advantage of her.

It didn't take more than 15 minutes for them to reach 4th Residence, Cicada Street. The car stopped in front of a blue house with cicada surrounding the wooden fence round the house. They got down and entered the front yard of the house through the wooden gates. The neighborhood was oddly quiet to Devon. He felt that something was amiss as the house which right next to theirs should be vibrating at this time. At the left side of the building was a flower garden and on the right was a broken down cage where two Bronze Rank Dingoes once lived.

Miss Béli led them into the house which was surprisingly empty and dark. There was no light in the room. Devon turned around out of surprise only find out that Miss Béli has disappeared along with Mia when turned back. "What the hell is going on here?!" Devon wondered aloud. "This is going on here!" A voice said as white smoke filled the room. The smoke was basically mist as it was so thick that Devon couldn't see a thing. "Miles? Is that you?" "Really? Is that all you could ask?!" The same voice replied as a crystal skull with red glowing eyes emerged from the smoke. It spat a ball of smoke in Devon's face, blinding him.

Devon managed to open his eyes and found himself at the backyard. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a familiar face pull him into a tight embrace. The perfume and body scent of the person was oddly familiar, the soft hair and the strange feeling: it all came to him. "M…mom…" he said in a stifled tone. "Yes Dev. It's mommy. Your only mom. I've missed you so much." The person he called mom said in a soft, singsong voice.

Devon looked up into the face, that pale angelic face which was slowly gaining color. The face that over showered him with motherly affection. Those green eyes that symbolized hope whenever he looked into them, that long dark red hair that flowed like a river to her waist, the fair skin which grew more beautiful and soft though she was on a sick bed with no hope of surviving, that smile that could make you forget your worries and the sweet, motherly perfume that smelled of roses and chrysanthemums. That was Mira Smith, Devon's mother; his long awaited mother.

"Mom, you're alright, right?…..You…" "Of course I'm well. I don't know how it happened but I'm well. Don't dwell on it too much. The important thing is that I'm well and you awakened. You must think about that. Congratulations by the way."

DING!

'Seriously? At this time that I'm reuniting with my mother?'

[Like I Care. It's Either You Do It Or Lose A Limb. Haha]

'Huh! Fu….'

[#1 Warning]

'Right. Threatening again.]

Devon was led towards a table filled food of every variety. Around the table were most of the neighborhood who congratulated him and Mira in their own ways when they arrived at the buffet. He still had a bit of time before he might lose a limb. Might as well enjoy the party. That shitty system obviously didn't have a family and was jealous of him.

The crystal skull appeared again and spurt smoke into the surroundings. The smoke didn't spread out but gathered at one spot and formed a human structure. It then condensed and burst out, revealing a handsome boy with hair as white as snow in a fine suit. He looked more noble-like than the first time Devon saw him. It was Miles. Miles Baxon, Devon's best friend.

"Seems you finally woke up from your curse, Sleeping Beauty." He said mockingly. "Curse? Wait…how long have I been asleep?" Devon asked. "2 weeks….." "2 weeks? Oh crap. I haven't showered in two weeks." "Why are freaking out. It's not like you like bathing. Besides we are preparing a very hot bath, hotter than lava for you." A deep male voice said. "You can take all the time you want in there after we are done with this two hour celebration." A female voice added. Those voices belonged to the couple who were taking care of Devon and his mother, the Rodneys. The man, tall and muscular with dark blue ponytailed hair and the woman with dark blonde hair. The man was Vernon Rodney and the woman was Alisa Rodney. They had one child, a girl called Leila Rodney. She was 19 and very beautiful. In fact she was a factor of Devon becoming the proud pervert he was.

"Honey boo! You are back! I came to the hospital the other day but I wasn't allowed to see you. We could have done a lot of things and had a great time together but all is not lost. Now that you are back, we can start it. What do you say? I've missed you so so much." A loud voice sounded in the vicinity. A girl with dark blue which reached her waist with blonde tips rushed towards Devon and hugged affectionately, scratching her body against his. She was very cute and beautiful, as a matter of fact. She had long slender legs, was a bit slim but curvy with a perky butt and bouncy C-cup boobs. Her skin was as fine as jade. Her sexy body was more mature than Mia and Janette combined and she wore revealing clothes.

The adults except for Miss Béli who just smiled, laughed at the show as they saw this as a bro-sis act. They have been together for so long, behaved like siblings so this type of hug was common between the two. But, you couldn't say the same for Miles and the others. Miles and David were already drooling as they looked at Devon's red face stuck in between those mountains of Leila. Mia was shaking with anger while Janette was indifferent to it. "Leila if you don't leave me, I will die in the middle of those two.
