Chapter 16 - CHAPTER 16: Awakening

Few minutes passed by, I tried hard not to get aroused but failed miserable, Alice was already snoring.

Layla was so uptight the moment her knee caressed my thing.

Smiling in the dark mischievously I placed my hand on her ass.

She gasped.

"Wha- What are you doing." She whisperd while stuttering

I pulled her closer, our faces where an inch apart. I closed the gap and kissed her, I was taken aback to the first time we shared a hot moment together, she didn't kiss me back, instead she bit my lip a bit too hard and rested her head on my chest. The mint taste in her mouth still lingered in mine.

"Awwu, Why did you bite me?"

"You are taking advantage of the situation, I'm just your friend okay and your sister is right next to us." She whisperd

"I couldn't resist testing your sweet lips. I will behave now."

I then slipped my hand inside her panties, Layla's perky ass was so soft and bouncy I couldn't resist fondling her.

"Ahn, you will wake Alice. Don't."

"Well stop moaning loudly." I whisperd

I could feel her heart trying to leap out of her chest.

I growled in pain as I felt a heavy headache, my head was buzzing.

"Are you okay?"

"Just a headache don't worry."

I stopped the lewd acts as I felt my head spinning.

"When did you become this naughty."

"What? I'm innocent."

She sighed and placed my hand in her waist

"Good night, and don't touch anyway else."

I chuckled lightly

I stayed awake for quite a while until I drifted in sleep.

I walked in a quiet dark place, I didn't know where I was going until lanterns appeared on my sides, they lit up one by one.

Every step I took a row of lanterns would lit up on the sides of the road, I followed the path with lanterns until I reached a huge ancient metallic door, it had weird drawings written in a language I couldn't understand.

They was no keyhole or anything.

I tried to open the door but they was no way of knowing how.

I couldn't give up.

I don't know why, but I felt like something very important was behind that door.

I kept punching the door until my fist bled.

"Open up damn it!" I yelled but nothing happened.

I felt like I was going crazy.

I clenched my teeth hard as I was about to punch it again, but someone grabbed my hand, looking over my shoulders I saw Alice.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

She glanced towards me.

"Seems like you need help."

"Any idea how to open this door then?"

"That's easy, the answer is infront of you."

I stared at the door. "Where? I don't see anything."

"You are looking at the wrong place." Alice tilted my head to face hers.

"Huh, you are the answer answer?"

Alice smiled.

"If you are the answer open the door then"

"That's for you to figure it out."

Now I was confused, what does she mean.

If she's the answer to the door, what now??

"You seem to be troubled, let me help you."

Alice drew her face closer to mine, I locked eyes with her.

I looked closer on her glowing eyes, I could see the rune drawings on her blue eyes. They were the same as the door.

"What the heck is going on. Your eyes are."

I held her hand and dragged her to the door, instantly examining the rune drawings, I then

took her her thumb and pressed it at the curved hole in the middle that seemed to only fit a finger.

She winced in pain.

I used her finger to trace the rune drawings on the door. Alice blood which I used to draw on the symbols started glowing red.

The glow became feint and the door opened.

I glanced at Alice and held her hand. We walked side by side until a huge blue cube came into View.

We kept walking until we were infront of it, a woman seemed to be trapped inside, she had silver hair.

It was all blurry in the cube but she somehow looked familiar.

I walked near the cube, slowly I placed my hand on it.

Blue and red lights gleamed from the cube, blinding my sight at the process, everything became white.

My eye sight came back after a few seconds.

I was no longer in that room, but some place I had no recollection of, in my memories.

Everything was on fire, trees burnt as they collapsed to the ground, the grass I stepped on cought flames but I feelt no pain. The sky was red along with the river that was on my side.

The woman with silver hair stood infront of me, looking the other direction. Looking up close she actually had two toned hair colour, silver and red at the ends. Her hair was very long, going all the way down and almost touching her ass.

I walked towards her.

She turned around and smiled.

"It seems you have awakened, but not fully."

"Alice?" I touched her face and ran my hands on her hair.

"Why do you look like Alice?"

She chuckled lightly. "Because I'm her."

She then vanished without a trace.

A Dragon emerged in the sky with a roar that created earthquakes at the same time increasing the intensity of the flames on the ground. It landed and breathed out fire that seemed to be infused with lightning.

It was aimed at me!!!

I opened my eyes startled and panting heavily.

I was burning up, I literally felt my blood boil.

I released myself from Layla's grasp, my eyes went wide on the entrance of the cave, red rays shone from outside.

"Fuck! A red moon again."

My body temperature kept rising, I sweated gallons of water.

'I need air!!'

I went outside but nothing changed.

I felt like my heart was realising waves of flames in my body, my vision was hazy, I started walking down the hill, I didn't know where I was going, my mind was in distress.

The pain was now extreme, the veins in my body gleamed red, I felt like my bones were melting and regenerating.

"AAAAGGH."

Screaming in pain I felt something trying to leap out of my throat, at that moment I started vomiting blood, when the blood touched the ground it ignited and burned the grass.

"What the fuck is going on with my body??

I stumbled forward until I fell into a small river, steam rose from the water as I stepped inside, yet it still couldn't stop the heat.

I put my hand in my mouth to suppress any screams, my skin peeled of and regenerated. The heat was now at it's peak, I felt like my head was going to explode, I almost fainted but I fought to keep my consciousness.

I could feel as if something was being printed on my mind.

"INITIALIZING SYSTEM."

"1%"

"20%"

"50%"

"78%"

"99%"

"100%"

"SYSTEM ACCESS GRANTED."

An unknown voice echoed in my mind.

I stared at sky breathing heavily, the immense heat was gone.

The moon was red and had blue lines on it.

'I'm pretty sure bad shit is about to happen, more creatures will likely to appear.

Standing up, my body seemed different somehow, I felt like I gained strength and my body was lighter than before.

"Of course you are now stronger than before, you have awakened your abilities."

I swang my restless gaze everywhere, they was no one in my sight.

"WTF, I didn't imagine you after all. Why the heck is there a voice in my mind."

"I'm your personal system. You can't see me because I'm now part of you."

"What the? As in like, an AI in fictional stories where something is planted in your head then a voice in your mind that tells you info and staff will exist."

"NO that's different, you see I'm not artificial intelligence. I'm more of a magical system. Like a guardian voice, I have knowledge beyond anything you can imagine, I'm here to help you.

I tried to calm myself down, They was a freaking voice in my head.

"The dream, burning sensation was part of awakening my power?"

"Yes."

"Why was Awakening my abilities different from my friends."

"Your questions will soon be answered once you understand your origin."

"Origin? anyway is there a time limit to when you will be. You know, talking in my mind?"

"No, you are stuck with me for life."

"Anyway what else can you do besides giving me information."

"Say, system show stats."

"System, show stats."
