When Rayan was engulfed in his thinking, he heard some people coming in his way. He turned around and saw three people, it was Sarah and a very strong and burly man and another girl that have the same build as her.
Sarah and her companions got close to him and greeted "Hello! Rayan, I hope we don't disturb you?"
"No, I just get over with my training." Rayan said.
"I want to introduce you to my friends, the nice and beautiful girl is Maïssa and the burly man is Adam, they both already reached 30 in three stats they are already rank D and eligible to pass the quest." Sarah introduced her friends and she added "I won't beat around the bush, I want to build a team for the incoming events, I had monitored you for the last hours, your speed, endurance and strength are on a whole other level. I want you to join my team."
Rayan pondered about it and said "I also want to build a team. I don't know which trick the other dimension will use to invade us, but I have a slight idea. Having a strong team on the start will be a major asset in this invasion." he took a little break and added "I will join you, but I will be the head of the team. What do you think?"
She pondered about it and said "If you want to be the leader you must have the ability to help us promote our growth." she put her terms.
Rayan took out a stamina potion from his inventory space and said "I think this can do the work."
Sarah snatched the stamina potion from his hand and examined it. She was overjoyed to see that she can recover her stamina back by drinking it. She pondered about it and asked "How many do you have?"
"I have enough to make us complete the quest." Rayan responded.
"So, I have no other choice but to accept." Sarah shacked the hand of Rayan and said "Let's go to business."
When Rayan was about to give her some stamina potions, his stomach growled, and he said "Haha! Sorry guys, I didn't eat for the past last hours"
Sarah took out a lunch box from her backpack and said "You can say that it's a birthday gift."
Rayan coughed twice in embarrassment and thanked her "Cough! Cough! Thank you." And he gave them 20 stamina potions for each and said, "Now as the leader, I will give you your first order. Complete the quest in no more than two days from now. When you're done, send me a message in the system. We need to regroup to choose our classes." He sent them away and opened the lunch box, his mouth drooling.
----------------------------
At the same time.
-USA in a military base-
"Athena, how things are going on?" A man in military uniform asked.
"Reporting to the general. I already reached rank C in 3 stats, I will reach rank C in all my stats tomorrow morning and be among the first one to complete the quest." Athena said proudly and added, "I already distributed stamina potions to the men you selected for the project. They will reach the goal in tomorrow afternoon."
Athena is a lieutenant general in the military, she also received a gift pack from the system. She is a woman with great ambitions, she became a lieutenant general in her early thirties. Now that the world is changing, she wants to be at the top of this new world, and she has sworn to herself to get there at all costs.
Scenes like this are playing out all over the world. People give the name to the day they received the system "the calling day" and the people that received the gift pack "the gifted". Most people started freaking out about the invasion, but the government has put everything in place to reassure their inhabitants.
In the meantime, some people were enjoying their meal.
"I am full, Sarah is the best cook. I will ask her to make me more dishes." Rayan was overjoyed to eat such a delicious food that he forgot the reason for being here. But fortunately, Sarah is a thoughtful girl, when she saw him daydreaming she sent him a message.
[DING]
[You have got a new message]
Rayan was startled and opened the message. When he saw that it was Sarah reprimanding him about wasting time. He got to his senses. He put the lunch box in his inventory and took out a stamina potion and began to run again. But this time he set his goal on reaching rank C in all his stats before midnight…
