After Xin managed to sneak inside his room, he changed into his pyjamas and went to check his grandma who was fast asleep in her room. There was no sign of cooking, so he assumed that his grandma had been sleeping since he's gone and she wasn't able to cook and eat. He was happy that at least she didn't know that he went outside. There won't be any trouble from her.
He went inside his room and he lay in his bed. Ruminating on all what had happened that night.
"That's way too close boy. I promise not to go too far like that anymore." Xin Said but there was something else bothering him. "That sticky wall is a kind of worrisome to me. I wonder who brought up the idea of creating a wall in a pho..." Xin stopped, realising something.
It is a wonder how such a wall was sticky and gluey. But it doesn't seem right to Xin. The wall of the building was a Phone company's wall and it didn't make sense for such a wall to be sticky and gluey.
"Did Johnny changed my gloves into a gluey one?" To confirm his thought, he brought out his glove and wore it. Placing his hands on the wall, he touched the wall of his room and surprisingly, it was also sticky.
"How about I climb higher." Xin Said as he climbed higher but as he proceeded on climbing the wall, his body also was sticky to the wall.
"Wait, my wall don't used to be sticky. How come it is sticky now?" Xin wondered. He kept on climbing the wall upwards to the ceiling, mimicking how a wall gecko climbs.
"This is getting awesome and strange." Xin Said as he stood upside down on the concrete roof decking. "Am I a bat now?" Xin laughed to himself, but suddenly, a system notification tab appeared above his face.
< New unread messages >
It was sudden to Xin, so he fell off the top.
Guess the bone that will be broken first. The neck bone?
Xin rose up from the ground he had fallen to. Actually, it wasn't the ground, it was his bed. The system tab was still showing and Xin was staring at the system.
< First Daily quest completed >
< Quest rewards: +15 Exp >
< Exp: 20/100 >
"Did I forgot having a system?" Xin said not minding what the system is all about.
He just remembered that he had a system, just like those fantasy novel he reads, still, he didn't believe that it could be real. He thought of how the novel characters he read, reacted after learning that they had a system. But Xin didn't think he need a system, he wasn't bullied in school and his parents hadn't forsaken him to be an orphan, so he thought of the system as a mere imagination.
"But, what if the system is real?"
That was when his knowledge started getting wider. "That explains it, I am given a system, and the system gave me fast legs, sticky body, weapon former and what else? But, who gave me the system? And what's that blue Soldier fly all about?"
Xin sat on the floor, he brought out his notepad and pen, jotting all what had happened in his father's personal library and when he was outside. He was trying to sort out all the tangling questions he had in his head.
Taking note of how he had first saw the two books that became a pair and had unimaginably transformed into a blue Soldier fly. The big blue Soldier fly became smaller and it entered his ears. He passed out but some minutes later, he woke up feeling differently in his body.
The book that his father gave him was shaking vigorously and before he could touch it, each pages were being opened by themselves and the next thing, it disappeared. But where??
"Hhmh." Xin exhaled as he twisted his head to the left and right. The time was already quarter to eleven. And Xin was feeling a little bit hungry and at the same time, he was feeling sleepy.
He went to the fridge to see if could get some cookies, or pasta he could quickly eat to surpress his hunger. But he found an honey pizza instead. He hate pizzas especially the honey ones, but this time it was otherwise. He didn't know when he start eating the honey pizza without taking it out of the fridge. And within a few seconds, it was all gone. After clearing out the area, he head back into his room even though he was still hungry. Grandma would be mad at him tomorrow if she didn't see the pizza anymore, but he could still take care of it.
Xin lay back in bed and within some seconds, he was asleep.
The alarm woke him up early in the morning by six. He rushed inside the bathroom in preparation for school and after he was all dressed up, he went inside the dining room.
His grandma was already up, getting ready for her work also.
"Hey Xin, Did someone ate the pizza last night?" Mama Tera asked.
"Uhm..." Xin was about to speak but got interrupted by mama Tera.
"You brought your friends in, don't you? How many times have I told you not to..." She got interrupted also.
"Oh grandma, I didn't bring anyone in. I was the one that ate the honey pizza." Xin said as he picked up his backpack, ready to leave the dining.
"You what?" Mama Tera asked.
"Bye Grandma!" Xin went out of the house.
"Wait Xin, You didn't have your breakfast!" Grandma shouted but Xin was already gone.
Xin went towards the phone building that him and Johnny were yesterday night. He planned to pick up his clothes before going into the school.
He got to the back of the wall and instead of climbing the ladder, Xin scaled up the wall, but while he was doing so, some passers-by who saw him quickly called for the attention of the company's manager.
The manager who heard from the people that thieves were on the roof, quickly called the strong and able men of the company, that there are thieves on the roof. Actually, the security was tight and the top of the building was free for everyone to climb.
But the manager thought that the thieves, the so called passers-by told him about were trying to find a way of breaking into the company, so he called for help. Another reason was that, the robbery incident that happened in front of their building yesterday night was still fresh in their minds.
Xin picked up his clothes but as he want to climb down the building, six men stood on his way.
'We're not doing this, this morning.' Xin grinned. 'I'll just use my powers to escape.'
"Catch him, he's among the thieves! Where are the others?" The manager asked as he saw that only Xin was on the roof.
The men charged at Xin, giving him punches and kicks.
"Stop!! Stop!! He's not a thief! There are no thieves!!" A young female with a blonde hair shouted.
