Somewhere in the clouds
Two figures were floating in the clouds as they watched the scene below. One of them was Marcus and the other was a lady with a slim figure, most likely Marcus' wife.
"Honey, don't you think he has gotten stronger?" the lady asked.
"Yes indeed, I think later on he would awaken his powers which will help to develop," Marcus replied.
"But honey, why him out of all people?"
"That's another topic for another day, Lily. Besides we have better things to do, don't we?" Marcus said with a smirk which made Lily shudder in shyness.
Back to David
Did I manage to beat five guys on my own, that's crazy.
But he further got lost in his thoughts, he felt a tug on his hand making him return to reality. The person who pulled his hand was none other than Mei.
"Uhm, it might sound like a weird request but...uh," Mei was interrupted
"Mei, just speak your heart out," David said out from a movie reference.
"Can I stay at your place tonight, those guys...liked bullying me....so,"
"Yeah sure, I was going there myself. Let's go quickly before they wake up.
"
The two quickly left the place with David leading the way but making sure Mei was falling behind. To his surprise, Mei was right next to him. When David's house was in sight a thought came to his head.
Oh, I forgot to arrange my house hopefully she doesn't mind.
The two got into the house and closed the door behind them, but David felt weird because it was the first time a girl was in his home, and a beautiful one to boot. But he shook off the feeling and moved quickly to arrange the house, making Mei feel welcomed.
"Mei. . . do you want any drink?"I said nervously as I opened the refrigerator
"A drink? Water will do for now." Mei replied hastily feeling more welcomed.
He gave Mei the glass and sat on a couch directly opposite her. A weird feeling overcame him. His vision waned, and his body became instantaneously fatigued. He went outside to the patio to get some free air but once he got there, his feet failed him, landing him on the ground.
What's happening to me?
Before he knew it, he blacked out.
. . .
"Werin. . . David. . ."
Who's that? Wait why can't I see
"Oh heyyyyy, David. It's me, Marcus." David turned to see Marcus however it was not the real world.
"I guess... you caused this, anyways what do you want from me?" David replied with a sad tone.
From his reply, Marcus could not help but laugh. However, that was not David's focus. His eyes were glued to the background, or more precisely where he was. He looked around to see weird flying creatures, two suns! A foresty landscape before him and the grassy area where he sat.
"So I have good news and bad news," Marcus said, trying to get his attention.
"Tell me any."
Marcus looked at him with a confused look ( I mean who says that, a psychopath? ) but he huffed at the response.
"Okay, first you are gonna go through some changes in your body so that you can accompany some part of me, and second. . . is that it's painful,"
"Both sound bad to me," he said, not looking at him as if he was mad
Slowly his vision waned again as he felt a force pulling him down, suddenly he woke up from the reality shift but he was more concerned about the cries he heard from Mei when she knelt next to him.
"David! Please don't leave me! Don't die please!"Mei cried next to him, not realizing that he had woken up.
"*Cough*Mei... I'm right here,"
"..."
She looked at him, and tears filled her eyes. She didn't waste a moment, so she hugged him instantly.
"Don't scare me like that, okay," she whispered in his ear
David took the hug as a shock. He believed that hot girls like Mei should not even spare him a glance but his expectations changed after that hug.
Mei is caring for me too much, I don't know what to say.
He hugged her back with the same energy. The moment was that of love, it wasn't realized yet though. When they broke the hug, Mei blushed deeply making David slightly blush.
"Uh... sorry I guess for that," David apologized, but Mei pouted at him, slapping him lightly on his face.
"Do you know how long you were gone for? I thought you were dead," she said with a worry in her tone.
David did not reply to that because he knew it would be one heck of a scowling. He stood up, helping her get up as well.
**Moments later**

[New Title: Lover Boy]
Out of all titles I get "loverboy", the system is teasing me at this point!
[ Sucks to suck boy, anyways are you ready for the changes by yours truly ]
Sure, besides right now is the best time, Mei is dead asleep in the guest bedroom.
[ Awakening processing: Starting. . . Pain may be experienced ]
"Oh shi. . ." David cursed before his body dropped to the floor he started to cough blood as if he had been stabbed in his stomach. Speaking of his stomach, it became much smaller but he still had much of a belly left to get rid of.
It was a painful and terrifying experience for the boy, his skin also started to show multiple veins and his eyes rolled back. The pain throughout his body could not be any worse. But eventually after a few minutes, it all stopped.
Lying on the floor, swimming in sweat and specks of blood, David was out of air from the whole ordeal
"*Huff* Screw awakenings!" he cursed again
He also knew what the pain system users in the novels he used to read went through, apparently, it was a rollercoaster ride, but he shook it off stood up, and went to sleep on his bed for the day ahead.
Why do I feel something good happening tomorrow? Hmm, let me sleep. Time will tell
