One year later ….
Shogi lays in bed as he ponders a thought… system. The system responds to his thoughts opening a screen displaying stats as the system makes an anouncment host stats are as followed. 5 strength 5 stamina 5 agility 5 vitality 5 dexterity 20 spirit . Skills System Lvl 1 Reincarnation Lvl 1 Shogi wondered what the reincarnate function was because it had never been there before and as if to read his mind the system spoke and stated " Reincarnate Lvl 1 is the ability to travel to another dimension putting your physical body in a sleep state for a set amount of time by the host until the life of his reincarnation expires. System recommends the use during night time to optimize the usage. The cool down time is 30 days. Does the host wish to activate Yes / No Shogi looked at the screen as he pondered the thought of going to another world it just was to terrifying to perceive at the moment. Shogi spoke in his mind and said " No". Shogi hopped out of bed, got dressed and went to school. Shogi dreaded this day, it was his freshman year at a new school.
He didn't look at anyone directly but somehow he could feel the curious gazes of people in his surroundings but he didn't care he just wanted to get this day and year over with. He sat somewhere alone to eat his food until someone approached him and started speaking "What's up guy my names Wyatte and ummm you gonna drink that chocolate milk or naw". Shogi slides the milk over and gets up from the table when Wyatte grabs his sholder and says "Somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed or what. You gonna say your name it's kinda what ya do when ya meet someone new" Shogi didn't really notice before but the guy was built like every cleche bully a pure brute and he had a firm grip on his shoulder that was starting to hurt. But in that moment shogi didn't care he swatted the arm from his shoulder and said " My name is Shogi" and a crowd was slowly forming around them when the bell sounded for them to go to home room. Wyatte laughed and said "relax im just welcoming you to Oakwood High." he looked around and said " Me and bro was fooling around no need to stand around like idiots". After Wyatte gave his little speech he shoulder checked Shogi and said "my bad" with a smirk on his face. Shogi was so mad he smacked his tray accross the cafeteria. Shogi said inwardly " Who the fuck does this guy think he is, fucking with me. Never have I ever felt so pathetic." The system activates " The host has exhibited extreme stress yet the host is considered fundamentally average with no below normal functions. Would the host like a reccomended course of action to improve stats Yes/No." Shogi thinks inwardly no
Shogi goes to class and takes a seat but all he hears is murmering " Imagine being the new guy and like pissing Wyatte off he is like a sweetheart" another random person "Wyatte will break him who even is he anyway". The door closes as a beautiful woman with black hair and golden eyes enters the room. The lady begins to speak "Class I will be your home room teacher Mrs.Rain. Welcome Freshmen I have to talk to you about a new curriculum that has been revised and added to our school policy due to changes in the world the government. The following classes have been added." Mrs.Rain passes some papers to a student who starts passing them out. Mrs.Rain begins speaking again "This year marks the 2nd year since abilities have become apart of our everyday life as such we will conduct aptitude test every year. The first set of aptitude test begin next week along with the aptitude test is a new self defense course. There has also been a class added called Knots it speaks about the known mutations and monsters that have been appearing all around the world. They came up with the word Knot in favor of the glowing knot found typically on the chest area.
Any questions very well everyone introduce yourself and don't be shy. Lets start right here in the front." A girl stands up who is the definition of beauty by every standard. "Hey everyone my name is Lily I look forward to this year with everyone. My favorite hobby is gardening" As she sits down she looks at Shogi and smiles. A couple more people go. Then a guy gets up with his hands in his pocket visibly irritated at having to do this. "My name is Hazan I don't really care to meet any off you I like to play sports". The teacher shakes her head in disappointment. It's finally Shogi's turn and he feels really anxious as it seems like he can hear the smallest whispers in the room. Shogi stands up "I'm Shogi I have no hobbies" as he sits down people begin to whisper.
The day was zooming by until the last class of the day which was P.E/Weight Trainning and the first person Shogi seen was Wyatte. The teacher walked in and started speaking "I'm coach Adam or you can call me Mr. Adam introduce yourselves and you can choose to do whatever but if your an athlete your in the weight room we will test every friday by running a mile doing pushups and situps. Alright well, have at it". Shogi sat on the bleachers until Wyatte approached Shogi and said " I could break your jaw right here and nobody would ever know. Just remember this is my school. As long as you know your place I will let you breathe little bitch". Shogi kept sitting there as if nobody was there not even looking at Wyatte saying apathetically " One I ain't no bitch two I don't know you or give a fuck about who's school this is." Wyatte grinned and was ready to swing on Shogi until he heard coach Adam Yell "get over here you should already be inside you knew today you were supposed to be demonstrating in the weight room". Coach Adam shook his head. Wyatte looked back at Shogi and took his thumb across his neck in a slicing motion. Wyatte looked at Coach Adam and said "My bad coach won't happen again. I had to say what's up to a new friend I made earlier".
The bell rang marking the end of first period so everyone began to exit the gym when he saw Lily waiting in the hallway. Angry, she walked up to him and screamed "I wish you never came here. I don't like you or want anything to do with you!!" Lily walked by him and went straight to the back of the gym. All the people standing around started making comments about Shogi "He is such a piece of shit Lily never lashes out" Shogi is so embarrassed and confused about everything that just happened. Everything felt like a nightmare. He hasn't done anything to merit disrespect or dislike. He wanted to be invisible but that dream is gone as far as he can tell. While Shogi was walking someone tripped him up and everyone laughed. Shogi was pissed and the fall really hurt so when he got up he looked at the kid who had done it and swung his fist. When another student caught his fist and said "You've embarrassed yourself enough just beat it" the student shoved Shogi's fist back at him when the kid Shogi tried to attack darted forward with malicious intentions aimed at Shogi. Then the student who caught Shogi's fist did a sweeping motion and face planted the aggressor in the ground. The student who caught Shogi's fist leaned in closer to the ground where the aggressor lay motionless and said " So I guess my names not Hazan anymore, who in the hell died and made you king". Hazan walks off with his hands in his pockets looking irritated again but before he could get too far Shogi said "thank you". Hazan just stuck up the middle finger and said " yeah yeah just beat it".
Shogi was feeling nothing but anger as he thought about how nothing but shitty things seemed to happen to him. He shook his fist at the sky and said "God what more are you going to take from me. All I wanted was to be a background character and fade away today. My moms gone, my uncle's a dick. My life sucks." Shogi could feel tears forming in his eyes but he couldn't bear to let it roll down his face. Then as if to retort to Shogi's words Lightning struck a tree nearby causing it to catch on fire. The lightning seemed abnormal as the sky was clear with a really small storm cloud. The moment he tried to keep walking the lightning struck the street shogi was on and a Lightning Knot that Looked like a giant toad was standing before him as tall as a semi and wide as two semis side by side. At this moment Shogi froze up when suddenly the System activates. "Emergency quest issued Survive the encounter with the Thunder Glaive Rewards plus 3 stats in every category". The system's quest snapped Shogi out of his fear. Shogi began running as quick as he could, sliding behind a tree right when the Thunder Glaive spat his tongue out just barely missing Shogi denting the tree. Shogi kept running and could see a White truck with smoked out windows zooming forward until he felt a jolt go up his body as he saw sparks on the ground next to him. People began exiting the vehicle in military uniforms. The person leading the group is none other than Rome. Rome begins speaking "we are the first unit on site Chanlor lower left quadrant Drake lower right quadrant. As Rome is issuing commands Shogi passes out. Shogi jumps up looking for the Thunder Glaive when he hears a familiar voice "Emergency quest complete Survive the encounter with the Thunder Glaive. Plus 3 to all Stats".
The lights cut on in the room. Rome was sitting in a chair and got up heading towards the door when he said " Kid you're pretty damn lucky you know that. That damn Thunder Glaive shot a bolt at you and even though it was indirect contact that should've been enough to fry just about anybody." Shogi looked at the time and realized it was 10pm at night. He laid in bed and thought to himself. System display my stats. host stats are as followed. 8 strength 8 stamina 8 agility 8 vitality 8 dexterity 23 spirit . Skills System Lvl 1 Reincarnation Lvl 1
Shogi couldn't sleep so he asked the system if Reincarnate would allow him to wake up by 6am. The system replied " Affirmative does the host want to activate reincarnate lvl 1 Yes/No.
