Before long, the preparation room for Engraving Scoreboard is finished. Led by the elder, Arief sit down on the chair. The room is not spacious. Enough to accommodate 4-5 people. Beside him lying a weird device shaped like full faced helmet. On the front written 'Scoreboard Engraver' and on the back written 'Low-Bronze Tier for 5.0 or below Mind Resilience.'
Seeing Arief interested in the device, the elder explained "This is a low-bronze tier Scoreboard Engraver. This is made by a 1-Star Pinnacle Specialist from the City. this is the best quality one we have in the Village, so don't you worry about your mind broke down. The probability of that happening is less than 1% with this machine."
After hearing the elder explanation, he sighed in relief. Phew, i thought what kind of torture will descent upon me. Hah! bring it on then! "Alright Elder Ranto, let's start the procedure and done with it. I still have many things to do later." Bewildered, the elder asked "What? You still want to go somewhere after the procedure? Are you really sure about that? Your Mind Resilience will be damaged and reduced after the procedure."
"Yes, i am sure. It's just decreasing my Mind Resilience, no big deal. Rest assured elder, i will be fine." He proudly said. It just reducing my Mind Resilience, i can increase it in the future with the help of my System.
"Okay then, as you wish. Put on the device, then think about the tune in your mind. It will takes around 30 minutes or so, depending on your concentration. I remind you once again, don't think anything else beside the tune or the procedure will be failed, and the scoreboard will be wasted." He then started the device and concentrating his mind inside the device.
As soon as the device started, he felt a really painful sensation inside his head. FUCK! What kind of pain is this? Does they said my Mind really resilient? Why does i feel a painful sensation then? Shit shit shit, it's really painful!
"....." Inside the room, there is no sound to be heard. One cannot move his body before the procedure is finished. That's another reason why Musician hesitate to engrave a tune into scoreboard. Their enemy will be knocking into his life while they still engraving the tune.
....
After about 30 minutes later, the engraving process is finally done. Elder Ranto said "Alright, it's done. Get up and..." Before he finished, he see Arief limping on the floor. His body is shivering, his mind weak, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, there's vomit on his sweater already. He just want to eat his mom spaghetti right now.
He really regret it now. This is the first and will be the last self-made predicament in my life he swear in his heart. I will lie low from now on and study everything in this new world before i made another predicament descent upon me.
"... Sigh... What did i said earlier? You are still young and rash. I know you want to save yourself from 2 days ago, but you hand over this mid-bronze tune to Village Head. Man dies for wealth, birds die for food you know. Even though the Village Head is usually upright, he still a human. Never mind, if you didn't want to do the engraving process, who knows what he will do to you. Farewell then, i will call your mother to bring you home." The elder left.
"Son, son! Hang in there son, i will bring you home now. Your dad already went to the city and buy the pill for mind recovery." As soon as Evi enters, she help Arief get up and walks him to the car.
He nearly unconscious by the time he got into the car, but a ding sound could be heard in his ear.
"Congratulations host, Sub-Mission Complete "Resolve Village Head Issues". The host rewarded with 10 Privilege Points and 1 Star Bronze Music Book 1. Work hard, host and lead the mankind to greater heights!"
He was confused by the last statement made by the System. Lead the mankind to greater heights? Greater Height Your Head! I even can't save myself from my own predicament and you tell me to lead the mankind to greater height? He then can't stand it anymore and passed out.
