Returning back to his hostel, Reka, 21 years old man is currently a student at Adam University. Taking Bachelor of Information technology course, he is set to become an IT consultant or some sort of technology-related occupation as a job. At least that is what his family and friends think. Of course, he does not want to disappoint them.
"Ugh, man I'm so lazy. I wanna skip class tomorrow...". Reka said while opening his room door.
Reka then proceeds to turn on his laptop and watch some online videos. He particularly likes to watch Korean pop or K-pop artists. Surely it's either girl groups or female solo artists. He's okay with the guys but doesn't really care about them except for a few.
Feeling bored, Reka continues to read some novels that he follows while listening to music. Thus, this is his daily life routine from morning to night.
After Reka took a bath, while he was walking back to his room he accidentally slipped, his head hit the edge of a sink in the bathroom and he fell onto the floor. Blood then flows from his head.
While his conscious continue to diminish, he heard some voice in his head.
[System start.
[Condition met, Reka nearly died because of his stupidity. Rolling dice...]
Reka then heard something rolling noise in the background.
[Congratulations host is given 2 chances at Wheel of power.
[To use a chance, Reka needs to say 'Start'.]
Not being able to think, Reka then said "Start..". Right after that, he faints.
Minutes later, commotion arise as people saw thick blood flows on the floor and an unconscious body.

"Hey mom, when are you going back?". 10 years old Reka asking his 30 years old mom through the telephone.
"Sorry baby, I have some work to do right now. Later Mommy will buy you chicken okay?" Reka's mom replied.
"Hmmm... Okay, mommy. Buy the spicy one okay. Love you, see you later mommy."
"Okay, Love you too baby. Bye."
Reka put down the telephone with a disappointed face. Then walk towards his computer.
Five years ago, at that time, I was in kindergarten. My mom went home at noon because she forgot to bring some important document.
When she reach home, she found two pair of extra shoes. Suspicious, she sneakily walk around the house to search for the intruder while holding a stun-gun for self-defence.
While roaming, she heard a faint sound of moans. Though it's faint, she still can discern one of the sources.
She walked towards her bedroom and open it slowly. There, she sees my father with our neighbour widow next to our home, half-naked while my father naked and his son ready to thrust into the half-naked widow lady.
My mom reached her handphone and took a picture as proof. Then she kicked the door wide open, walked casually to the surprise sex-couple and stunned my father. She then proceeds to kick his crotch
After that, I don't know what happens as the story wasn't complete when presented in the court. My father sued my mother because of her action. He demanded some compensation as he can no longer produce any semen. Luckily, the court didn't approve of his action and my mom got my custody.
I heard the story at that time in the court as my mother recounted what happened on that particular day. Strangely, my mom didn't speak about her feelings. As I was just a little kid at that time, I didn't know what exactly happened.
After that, although mom looked normal. Sometimes I can hear her crying alone in the bedroom at night. Also, she is rarely home. I learned that after the divorce, my mom quit her work and made a company. A massage company. Strangely, all the company's customer and workers are women.
Maybe because of her enmity and contempt towards men, she rejects all male clients and possible partnership or some business. Except for me. Even though I said that it's not that we were that close anyway. Just some basic mother-son relationship.
We were actually close, but after reaching my puberty, she begins to distance herself. As I'm in my puberty phase at that time, I don't really care because I got my freedom.
Since then, we rarely talk to each other even when holidays except for occasional "I love you" and "Take care".

Opening his eyes, the first thing he saw was a ceiling. He feels surprised as he doesn't remember going to bed. Working his brain, he realizes that he fell in the bathroom and bleed. Right now, he's in the hospital, with a bandage on his head.
"What a stupid way to sleep. heh."
Suddenly, Reka heard a female voice.
[Do you want to use another chance of Wheel of Power?
[Yes/no]
Confused, he shrieked then look around the room. Realizing no one else is in this room, he panicked and cover himself with the blanket.
After a few seconds, seeing no one when peeking outside, Reka said, "Huh, what was that."
Thinking for a while, he remembers a few of the novels he read has the same setting as this. The system tags. "Hahaha, no way there's gonna a system out here in real life. Man, I must be crazy."
Remembering back the female voice, he nervously said with some anticipation "Uhm... Status?". But nothing happens.
"Damn it, I'm still an idiot. Ugh, whatever let's just try whatever the words those MC said.
"Status!
"System status!
"Open status!
"..."
After a few tries, nothing happens. Almost giving up, Reka lazily said, "Status Reka."
[
Name: Reka Villan
Intel: 0.7
Strength: 0.5
Luck: 0.5
Wisdom: 0.5
Power:
Chance:
]
Surprised, Reka shriek again. Carefully reading the tablet in front of him, Reka sigh "Hmm... Average in everything huh. That's so me hahaha.
"Anyway, I can't believe this happens to me hehe. Now maybe I can turn into someone great!
"What is this power? Invisible? How do I activate it?"
Then the female voice talk again.
[
To activate your power, you need to understand the principle.
After that, simply think about it and it will activate"
]
"Understand the principle huh...
Everything we see is based on light reflections. If I follow that thought, maybe if those lights were bent to go around me then I can be invisible?"
Suddenly, the world around Reka turns black, devoid of anything.
"Huh, what is happening!
"Is it because of my understanding? *sigh*
"Then I need to fix this fast! If the lights can't go around me, what if I reproduce the lights when they hit me. Making it seems like it goes through me?"
Then he got his vision back. At that time, a nurse went into his room to do the regular check up on him. Seeing the nurse, Reka wave his hand and greet her. The nurse surprised, as she didn't see the patient then hear some words. Scared, she quickly turns around and ran.
Reka in the room analyzed the situation. "So, she can't see me but can hear me huh.
"If I can cancel out my own sound and noise, that will be sick! let's try it"
Reka then walks out from his room and search for his next victim.
