My eyelids slowly went up and I was in a dark room, I only laid there for a few seconds before screaming out and rising up. Both my hands were mobile and they were all over my body trying to help me solve the mystery of what I think I had just gone through. The door to the room flew open and the lights blinded me for a second before they quickly identified the person at the door as my younger sister. "Oh for heaven's sake it's 3 am in the morning stop acting up, some of us are trying to sleep."
Her eyes were red and her hair was messy, she was wearing one of my old t-shirts and it was very tight around her putting in display her athletic upper body. Above all she was not impressed by my sudden break down that came out of nowhere. She made her way to my bed and I ran away from her, she released her pheromones at such a high degree I was frozen in place. This time I could not fight back against my sister because I was still weak from my experience. She hurried to the top of the bed and knocked me down.
"Seriously, apart from making my life a living hell what else are you good at?" I pulled on her cheeks and sighed, she responded by flicking me on my forehead. "What the hell are you doing to me?" [Ratie]
"I had a bad dream, so I was checking if you were real." She was flustered but even angrier, "you woke up the whole neighborhood for a bad dream? Boi, don't tempt me." She got off me and walked out of the room, before leaving though she shot me a sharp lot that stuck for a few seconds before closing the door to leave.
Sighs of relief aplenty, I ran to my closet opened it, and started to remove my clothes throwing them all to the ground. There was a mirror inside which I pulled out to examine myself and I had no injuries. This sent chills down my spine so I ran into the hallway, there was no blood. To the kitchen, I went to look for the knives but they weren't there. Not on the walls and not on the door, I went outside to check for where I had supposedly died and there was nothing.
I collapsed right then and there on my knees, I was both relieved and terrified.

[NEW QUEST: WHAT ARE YOU? AND WHAT DID YOU JUST GET YOURSELF INTO?
Unlock quest at level 11]
Speechless was a word no longer worthy of describing how I felt after seeing these notifications. What am I? 9 dials, what have I gotten myself into? An armada of questions raided my brain an found no answers. I was shocked beyond the point of screaming my head off and running around aimlessly. It was all still a mystery to me, but I had gotten myself into this and was determined to leave in one piece. My soul was fired up and filled with the drive to learn this system and rub it off me.
And so went my morning, I went and got my snack along with my rewards and went back to sleep. A few hours later I received a wake-up call of the ages, my mother busted into my room like a ninja. Kicking down doors and setting off smoke bombs and shurikens were in the air, I swear to God I thought that I was about to die. Not really though she just slapped me in my sleep.
"Boy how many times do I have to call you before coming up here to put a broom up your crusty ass nose." My mother screamed at the exact moment I opened my eyes.
"Good morning to you too mom." [Laone]
"GOOD MORNING? Boy, it's past nine but you know what your problem is? HUH? It's that damn phone you sleeping with." She took away my phone and put it in her pocket, "you'll get it back when you finish your chores. (She walked away while mumbling under her breath,) damn sissy boys just because they are a bit prettier and more fragile they think they are special. Bad grades, poor athletism..." She continued rumbling eve after exiting my room, such is my life with my dear mother.
Once she left I received more quests, since the quests keep on coming I concluded that I only needed my phone for the dials and stuff.

I did not read through any of what the quests had to offer and just hoped that by living out my daily life I would level up. So I got up and waltzed into my normal life I got all sorts of notifications after every task.

A few amongst many notifications I received cruising over all of the given tasks, today I was not complaining about the workload because of what I went through last night. I had a lot in my mind and I was a bit scared even though I wanted to shrug the feelings off I could not help but shake at the realization of how many times I almost died.

For some reason, my sister had been following me around the house for a while now. Ever since I woke up I think, right now she was staring dead at me as I did my laundry. "What are you looking at weirdo," I finally gave in to her glare starting to crawl under my skin.
"I am on my phone, I should be asking you what you are looking at." She replied, but her face changed not she remained emotionless and even though I wanted to redeem myself I knew I would lose an argument against her.
We had a stare down for a few seconds before I gave up and went back to my washing. A few minutes passed before she looked up at me again and this time was hanging my laundry, she looked as if she had something to say but held back because of not knowing what to say. It was strange because my sister had never been tongue-tied before. On her arrival at school as a first-year, she somehow managed to talk her way into being the school vice-president.
So her suffering from a lack of words was equivalent to being told that dragons exist, that's stupid right, right?
"OY!" I turned to look over to her and she was folding her arms while glaring at me again. "What do you want from me this time wonder woman?" I responded and she said nothing or she couldn't say anything, her heartbeat was over the charts. I froze in place and wondered, how can I hear her heartbeat and not only that but I can hear every breath she took. I scared myself and let the shirt I was holding fall to the ground. Everything around me felt like it was in my face, I could hear my mother's footsteps and mumble in the house.
I could hear clearly the neighbors whispering in their houses, my head split and I heard a high-frequency sound invade my ear and I collapsed on the spot.
"Are you okay?" [Rati]
"Of cause, he is okay a few chores and he is on his back. Pathetic, next time do not bother me with all your nonsense." My mother slammed my door on her way out leaving me with my sister who was genuinely worried about me.
