'Where am I? I feel hungry' Kai thought as he opened his eyes to view his surroundings. He discovered he was in a small wooden room. The room only have a bed that he was laying on, a wardrobe, bathroom and a table beside the bed. Nothing else. When he looked at the table, he found his interest, food on it with a cup of water. There was a round bread loaf, some eggs fried and a piece of fresh cooked meat.
He quickly sat up before reaching out for the plate and then, what followed after was a feast. Kai ate as if he would die if he didn't put something in his mouth. Kai knew from then on that hunger was not an easy thing. Even he felt ashamed of how he was feasting without a care in the world.
Few minutes later, he was done and the cup of water was now empty. He felt like heaven suddenly opened the gate for him when he was suffering in hell. Yes, that was what he felt right now. Suddenly a gray colored light background appeared in front of him. Purple colored words were on it.

The gray screen suddenly changed to another view with a list of words on it. Kai looked speechlessly at his golden finger that was just appearing. One that he had been waiting for 'but the condition to trigger it was to eat something? No that can't be right' Kai thought in his mind as he couldn't understand how eating could awaken his golden finger but that's not all, it's a fucking legendary system.
"Hmm hello, how are.." Kai's thought was suddenly interrupted by a sweet voice. He looked at the direction of the voice, the door which has now been opened by a small head peeking inside.
Behind the open door was a teenage girl, roughly the same age as Kai. She blankly looked at the mess of a feast that Kai had made. The plate was on the floor and the cup was on his bed. Kai also looked at his surroundings and felt embarrassed of the act he had just committed.
"*cough* how are you feeling now?" The girl broke the awkward atmosphere with her question.
"Oh I feel great now. You just save my life and sorry for the mess I made, I will clean it now." Kai said. He quickly got up and tried to move but he was still weak, he fell on his face, flat on the floor. The girl was shocked as she quickly went forward to help him. She carried him to the bed, surprisingly he wasn't that heavy.
"You don't need to do anything for now. Just make sure ya okay by tomorrow. Madam Lane wants to see you" the girl said before she started cleaning up the mess and then she got up to leave. She opened the door and was about to get out when Kai said something "pls wait, may I know your name?"
"My name… you don't need to know that for now" she hesitatingly said before she got out leaving Kai with in the empty room.
"*sigh* it seems like they have no intention to keep me here. I was hoping to stay here damn!" Kai said. He wanted to get close to her to use the opportunity to stay in the house before he plan for anything else.
'System!'
«What's up dawg»
'I must be hallucinating, lemme try again System!'
«Hello host, how can I help?»
'Why did you appear late? Or is it only when I eat that triggers you?'
«No host. Eating doesn't trigger me. I should have appeared since the time you awoke but due to the lack of energy in your body, I was delayed and that was also the reason why your memories came late»
'Oh, then what's the 50% booting of the functions about?'
«Right now, I have chosen you as my host. The system booting was 50% Complete when it absorbed the energy you got from eating and that was why you feel weak and couldn't move before. But it won't rely on eating anymore to get energy»
'You ate my food? How can a system eat?'
«I don't eat host, I only absorbed the energy you got from eating»
'Same diff mehn! So how do I get the remaining 50% energy?'
«Host can get it through battles. It doesn't matter whether ya defeated or not. All you need is to absorb the energy that your opponent subconsciously releases into the air»
'You don't expect me to start a fight with my weak physique right?'
«I'm sorry but that's something for Host to figure on his own. Only after the energy required by the system is complete before Host can utilize it»
'Damn!!! I need some fresh air' Kai seem to be mentally exhausted after having the conversation with the system.
"SMASH!!!" Kai suddenly heard a smashing sound. He forcibly dragged his weak body to the door before he opened it and got out.

Mrs Lane Snack Store
There was a commotion going on in the small store. Three people, a man and two women were causing havoc. The man was the leader, he came forward and said to a middle age woman. There was also a young girl with an angry expression behind her.
"Hehe hello Madam Lane, why have you stop cooperating with us? That's really unfair to us, your regular customers" the man said with his thick unpleasant voice.
"Mr Tagus, I already told you that I don't have any money on me currently. I already promised I would pay double next time you come! Do you need to go that far to smash my chairs?" Madam Lane angrily said.
Tagus immediately got angry at this and shouted back "how dare you not comply with my orders? Do you want to offend the Blood Gang? Annie! Anna! Beat them up"
Tagus and his crew, Anna and Annie were quite notorious in Rooster Street because of the Blood Gang that they joined. Rooster Street is one of the smaller streets in Capital City. This was also where the late Kysen clan was located.
The Blood Gang was a group of criminals led by their leader who was a cultivator. Because of this, Tagus would go to people's shop to collect money while saying meaningless words like "it's money for protection of the Blood Gang" The mortal people don't have any power against them so, they had to comply with them.
Just like others, Madam Lane was also one of the people. Madam Lane felt fright when the two women were about to hit her. The girl behind madam Lane wanted to fight back but she was held back by Madam Lane. She only shook her head at the girl and waited for the pain.
