Chereads / Guaranteed Drop System / Chapter 24 - System Level 5

Chapter 24 - System Level 5

As I cleared dungeon, my mind was thinking of all sorta of different things, and I had actually been injured a few times by arrows hitting my while I was thinking.

'I can't dive into dungeons like this. I'll die if I am this careless.' with that thought, I quickly finished the dungeon I was in, and say down on a couch in the living room. I turned on the TV and began to mindlessly flip through the channels, until I saw something odd.

There was a woman who was doing a talk show. It was in one of those weird times at night where there were a bunch of infomercials, but something about the way way she acted threw me off.

"Today I will be talking about the on-coming apocalypse again. Last time we spoke about this, I told you my visions indicated that we would be wiped out... But today I come with good news!" she then turned to the camera, and it felt like she was looking straight at me.

"Theodore Holton."

"!" What was going on? I pinched myself to see if I had fallen asleep and didn't know it, however it hurt.

I looked back up at the program, and there was just an empty set with a phone number.

I stared at the number for a moment, then I pulled out and my phone and called it. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew that fortune teller wasn't normal.

"Hello, you've reached the Heaven and Earth Hotline, what can I help you with today?" a sweet voice rang over the line.

"Um, I hope this doesn't sound crazy but I was watching an infomercial and it told me to call this number? I'm sorry if I have the wrong number I might have even misheard the TV." I said, I felt so embarrassed at this moment.

"No, you reached the right number, Theodore. I'll transfer you to Big Momma now."

'Big Momma? What the hell kind of name is that?'

I sat for a few minutes listening to the stupid hold music, it was composed of some harps and it oddly made me uncomfortable.

An older voice pulled me from my thoughts.

"Hello Theodore, I've been looking for you."

"How do you know me... I don't know you."

"Hmmm, how do I explain this to you... Do you know the story of Hanzel and Gretel?"

"Yes?"

"Well, let me ask you this, did you ever wonder if the witch truly died? I mean, she was a witch, how could she die to a couple of kids? I am that witch. I traveled to this dimension, because mine was destroyed after the Angels and Demons had their stupid little war. I traveled here and waited for people with the power to combat the Angel and Demons to show up... You don't know how lucky your dimension is.. The universe balances things out. It gave people here the power to defend their dimension, but it didn't do that in mine. It's unfair..." Big Momma's voice became filled with remorse.

"I am sorry that your dimension was destroyed, but you live here now. So you're one of us if you ask me. I want to protect people from the Angels and Devils, I don't want humans to be the slaves to their fate. Please, tell me how I can change the future." I had believed what she said, because I felt that the Angels and Demons definitely didn't care about the lives of the people here.

"You have to increase your Divinity. Divinity is an energy the universe gives to people with increased influence, it's a way the universe can create artificial order. It doesn't care about good or bad, it wants any type of order. Once you grow in divinity, you'll be able to progress your strength. You are probably experiencing a sort of bottleneck, and you're unable to receive items above (Yellow), correct? This is because you lack the divinity to even hold those items, which is why the universe isn't awarding you them. You should also be experiencing an inability to further your strength. That is because your body can't handle any more, without enough Divinity."

I guess my speculations had some weight. Big Momma had to deal with something, and so she hung up.

I had a lot to think about, but I also had a new idea of what to do. I would soon become the most searched topic in the world.

**** Big Momma's POV ****

'That boy is a monster.. To think he has enough Divinity that he is almost a Legend, and to think he has only had the help of the universe for the past few months. But alas, one seed is not enough to yield a field of crops.'

Big Momma then began to broadcast her messages out to different Hunters across the world. Her plan was to gather all the ones with potential and help them resist the external forces invading on their dimension.

She was currently in contact with several Hunters, answering phone calls, and still hiding her base from the prying eyes of others.

'It's going to get real busy, I bet, that Holton kid is freaking insane. I'm sure he is going to piss off those Angels so bad. I look forward to it.'

Big Momma then smiled and went back to work.

**** Hailey's POV ****

I hated myself for my lack of strength... Even with all the progress I had made, I still couldn't help Theodore... I wanted him to be able to enjoy things, but his life was constantly being targeted. While I could help him kill the people sent to attack him, I wasn't strong enough to free him from the force behind them.

'Those f*cking Angels. I swear I'm going to rip their wings off their backs.'

As I came out of the dungeon, I heard a weird noise coming from the living room.

"Hey guys, for every person who subscribes, I'll be performing magic." I heard Theodore say. As I peeked in the living room, I saw Theodore with his phone propped up against the fireplace, and he was casting his ice magic every so often.

"Uhh, Theodore, what are you doing?" I asked, stepping out fully from behind the corner.

"Oh! Hailey! Hey guys, this is Hailey. She is also a Hunter! She's a physical fight, much like a Berserker, however she is not pigeon holed into just physical attacks. She made the intelligent choice of diversifying her attack options and now, she's a menace on the battlefield. She is going to be a great help against the Angels and Demons." Theodore said, turning to the camera.

"I'll explain later." Theodore whispered to me, then he winked and began explaining to his Chat about the current state of events across the world.

That night Theodore's stream was the most watched stream in history.
