Jake walks out of the bathroom after talking to nameless with the idea to ask about how he was affected by that trip to the other world later.
He walks into the kitchen and sits down at the kitchen table waiting for dinner to be served as he sat there he became curious about what was for dinner so he tried to peek at the food on the stove when suddenly a screen popped up.
/ Beef and potato stew. \
A decent dish that restores +5 health |
per serving and boosts endurance by |
+3 for 30 minutes. |
\ /
Jake is slightly startled but then looks at it and walks back into the restroom and asks Nameless what that screen was for.
Nameless: " That was an analysis screen used to identify and analyze objects, people, and locations." It says answering the question of the curious teen.
Jake: " So wait you can identify things?" Jake asks curiously.
Nameless: " Yes if what you refer to as a thing is an object, person, or place." It restates confirming the question made by Jake.
Jake: " This is gonna be so much fun." He says to himself thinking about what he could do with that ability.
Nameless: " Is there anything else you need of me host?" It asks waiting for an answer.
Jake: " No that'll be all." He says relieved that he got something out of this conversation.
Jake walks out of the bathroom looking refreshed and moves back to the kitchen table where he sees his mother laying out two bowls of the same stew Jake saw before.
Jessica: " What was taking you so long? I saw you sitting one second and then saw you walking to the bathroom the next." She said as she went to sit down.
Jake: " Oh you know just didn't have to go till then." Jake said sounding somewhat convincing.
Jessica: " Okay well come sit down and eat." She says shrugging before she grabbed her spoon and took a spoonful from the stew.
Jake: " Sure." He says sitting down at the table and scooting in his chair.
Jessica: " So did you finish your project?" She asked as she kept eating.
Jake surprised by the question because he didn't think about it.
While in that shocked state he wasn't paying attention and hit his knee on the table.
The pain was momentary but painful as a -1 appeared out of nowhere and disappeared just as fast.
Jake winced but felt fine after a second or so.
Questioning why the pain didn't last long he looked under the table at his knee to see nothing out of the ordinary.
Jake makes a note of the abnormal occurrence and decides to ask that emoticon guy later.
Jessica: " Jake are you okay?" She asks slightly concerned about him hitting his knee.
Jake: " I'm fine mom." He says with a slight smile to show that he was okay.
Jessica: " That's good." she says with slight relief present in her voice and goes back to eating.
Jessica: " So about your project, did you finish it?" She asks.
Jake: " No, not yet but I should be able to get it done after dinner." He says with confidence in his voice.
Jessica: " I'll hold you to that promise." She says in a slightly serious tone.
Jake: " Okay." Jake says in a dismissive way.
Jake sits there eating dinner with his mother and finally cleans his bowl empty of the stew.
A notification appears in front of him that say enhanced endurance.
It also says it's an effect, it sits there for a second before disappearing.
By now Jake has gotten better at reacting to these sort of things, so he only gives it a glance before going back to putting his dish in the sink.
As he finishes cleaning his bowl in the sink he walks back to his room and just before enters he is reminded that he needs to do his project for chemistry class.
He walks into his room and sits down at his desk.
He was supposed to complete this during this weekend because the presentation was on Monday.
He has completed almost everything in the project all he had to do was list the last of the ten chemicals formula's and its uses.
Jake pulls the paper towards him and grabbed a pencil and wrote formaldehyde.
Now that he had written the name of the chemical all he gad to do was write the chemical formula and use.
He wrote down formula and puts CH20
right next to it and then wrote that formaldehyde is used in the creation of home construction materials as well as inactivating viruses and bacteria.
As he finished writing this he got up from his chair and later on his bed.
As he payed there he finally decided to ask more questions about what happened before while eating dinner.
Jake: " Hey is it okay if I call you something else besides Nameless?" He asks.
Nameless: " Yes, please speak the name you wish to register for now." It says robotically.
Jake: " Ok how about about System since you behave like the ones in the novels." Jake says calmly laying there.
System: " Confirmed, System is now the registered name." System says confirming the change in name.
Jake: " So about before when I hit the table... why did the pain disappear so fast?" He asks genuinely curious.
System: " The pain dissipated due to a physical alteration made based on that story I mistook for a medical forum, that allowed your body to become as efficient as a game character." System explains to Jake.
Jake: " So I have the body of a game character?" He asks waiting for confirmation.
System: " Yes." He says making it as brief and straightforward as possible.
Jake thinks about it and since that novel also had a system then doesn't he have one as well if system based it off that.
Jake: " So do I also have a system page and other things like that?" He asks extremely curious.
System: " Yes, you do would you like to see it?" System asks.
Jake: " Yeah!" He says in an excited tone.
System: " Confirmed, Please speak key word 'menu'." System asks.
Jake: " Menu." He says as a silver screen appears with 4 options.
The options are from top to bottom status, inventory (Locked lvl. 5), shop (Locked lvl. 5), and quest log.
Jake looks at the options and clicks status and the a screen pops up showing his status.

Jake looks at the world travel ability and thinks back to the Princess and thought about how she was odd for a princess and then he remembered he still hadn't gotten an apology from her.
He thinks about it and decides to go back.
Jake: " Hey System activate world travel." He says still annoyed thinking about that princess.
Activating world travel..
Suddenly everything was dark and suddenly he was back on that same bed.
Jake: ' So this is the point of arrival.' He thinks to himself as he looks at the bed below him.
Princess point of view...
She stood outside on the balcony looking out wondering how he disappeared.
She recalls how he suddenly disappeared in a large collection sparkling bluish white shards.
As she was thinking she suddenly heard something hit her bed.
Thinking that something of hers fell she returned inside only to see the same boy from before on her bed thinking to himself before looking up noticing her.
Jake point of view...
Before I could call out to her she suddenly asked "Why are you back?" She asks me.
