Miller had been in that small room still confined in chains, not able to move an inch. He was still tied to the chair with that chain.
It had been some hours since they left him and Miller could now notice that it was a bright new day. But the strange part about it was the fact that since he had been in this area. Nobody had come to his aid, was he still inside the School or not?
Honestly speaking, Miller knew how corrupt the world was around people like him. Even if his best friend, Watson, found out and informed the Principal or any Officer. They would just check for him for a few hours and then stop; just because Miller isn't from a rich family or from an influential family.
Miller was now hungry, extremely hungry.
"Is there a way you can provide me food. I am really hungry." Miller said to the System.
"Ha ha ha" The System laughed.
For a few seconds, the laugh of the System sounded like that of a man, but when it continued speaking. It sounded robotic.
"Just keep on leveling, you'll be able to achieve things you never dreamed of." The System said.
Those words from the System were some kind of assurance to Miller that he would be able to get stronger, if he levels up and it was some kind of hint that he still had more abilities he hadn't unlocked yet.
"What other Abilities have i not achieved yet and how many are they in total?" Miller asked the System.
"I can't say, it's not out of choice" The System said. "The abilities you acquire sometimes are altered by the circumstances and your emotions..." The System then paused for a bit and continued: "I can't say much."
The System always kept secret from him and he didn't know why and he finally felt like he should ask.
"Why do you keep secrets from me?" Miller asked.
"It is because if you knew the truth, you wouldn't be able to focus on your purpose, as The Chosen One." The System said.
"Is the Chosen One and the Long Awaited Saviour the same?" Miller asked. He remembered the prophecy Zabat had told him when he was in the Mevorotrians prison.
"They are...Miller, but before you would jump into conclusion, that prophecy isn't complete." The System said.
"Then what is the complete Prophecy? And how does it relate to me as the Chosen One or Long Awaited Saviour" Miller asked the System.
"Not now, Miller, just get stronger for the TIME WAR" The System said, but it had mistakenly spilled the words, TIME WAR.
Miller confused asked: "What's TIME WAR?"
The System who had mistakenly spoken the words TIME WAR and didn't want Miller to know what it was right now because it would disturb Miller's journey into becoming the Chosen One kept quiet.
There was a silence in his head, Miller knew that the System wasn't going to answer him anymore. So he didn't even persuade it.
The only time Miller actually invested himself to acquire more knowledge about the System that's inside his brain was only when he was lonely or had nothing to do. It was like the System was some kind of person, he always had the choice to talk to whenever bored.
Even if the System did not talk to Miller any longer, it would still obey most of his instructions; if they are for his interest. Miller thought about his STATS points showing on his retina, and they did, those green words appeared as usual:
[LEVEL 5]
[HP: 16000/16000]
[STRENGTH: 80000]
[AGILITY: 112000]
[STAMINA: 160000]
[SPEED: 64200]
[DURABILITY: 64000]
[EXP: 600/12800]
After seeing those green words at his Retina, he slept off.

It was now night time and Miller had woken up from his slumber. Although Miller was really hungry, his body didn't feel weak like Humans would have, if Humans were in this kind of situation.
"Don't Throsk'Bok feel weak when they are Hungry?" Miller asked the System because he could feel his stomach grumbling for food, but his body wasn't showing a sign of weakness and his HP is still full.
"Although most Throsk'Bok usually eat, the body of a Throsk'Bok don't require food. A Throsk'Bok can train himself into becoming less reliant on food." The System said.
Miller didn't know if the System could teach him that, but there was one thing, he knew of. He was a foodie, and didn't like that idea.
With his super hearing, Miller started to hear footsteps. Miller had kept his super hearing high and amplified every sound, he still believed that there was hope for him to leave this place.
Although, the footsteps were far away, Miller could hear them clearly. The footsteps were up to 14. He knew it was the Werewolves. if there was anytime for him to escape it was now.
Feeling a sense of urgency as the Werewolves' footsteps grew louder, Miller turned to the System in his mind, desperately seeking guidance.
"System, please, there must be a way for me to escape. I can't let them capture me," Miller pleaded, his voice filled with a mix of fear and determination.
The System's voice resonated in Miller's mind, offering a solution to his predicament.
"Miller, listen carefully. Focus your attention on the chains restraining you. I will guide you through a series of techniques to help you break free," the System instructed.
Miller took a deep breath, clearing his mind and preparing himself for what was to come. He focused his gaze on the chains, visualizing his escape.
"First, concentrate your strength on your wrists. Visualize a surge of energy flowing through your arms and into your hands," the System continued.
As Miller followed the System's guidance, he felt a tingling sensation in his hands. It was as if a reservoir of hidden power had been unleashed within him.
"Now, slowly exert force against the chains, utilizing your newfound strength. Gradually increase the pressure, channeling all your energy into breaking free," the System advised.
With every ounce of determination, Miller pushed against the chains, feeling them strain under the force of his effort. The metal groaned and creaked, showing signs of giving way.
"Keep going, Miller! You're almost there," the System encouraged.
Summoning every ounce of strength, Miller pushed one final time, and with a resounding snap, the chains finally broke. He was free.
Taking a moment to catch his breath and gather his thoughts, Miller knew he had to act quickly. The Werewolves were drawing nearer, and time was of the essence. The breaking of those strong chains were a sign, Miller was stronger than he could have imagined himself to be.
"Thank you, System," Miller said with gratitude, his voice filled with determination.
"Now, listen carefully. There's a concealed passage behind the bookshelf in the corner of the room. Push it aside to reveal a hidden doorway. It leads to a series of secret tunnels beneath the school. They will provide you with a means to escape undetected," the System revealed.
Miller wasted no time. He hurried toward the bookshelf, pushing it with all his might. As the hidden doorway was revealed, he stepped through, finding himself in a dimly lit tunnel.
Relying on his agility and stealth, Miller navigated through the labyrinthine tunnels, his heart pounding with each step. He remained vigilant, constantly aware of the Werewolves' presence and the need to avoid detection.
But there was another problem for him, Miller started to hear one footstep running towards him at full speed. It was another Werewolf.
And finally the Werewolf was in front of him. "You can't leave, We have already chosen you to be our LOKI LUPIN". The person said to Miller.
The person was no other than Jacob Williams; one of the Werewolves.
Miller looked at the person with fear in his heart, and then finally, words came from the System:
[NEW QUEST]
[FIGHT JACOB WILLIAMS]
[QUEST REWARD]
[EXP: 2500]
[NEW QUEST]
[DEFEAT JACOB WILLIAMS]
[QUEST REWARD]
