Chapter 6: Family Time and Divine Surprises
After a long day at school filled with excitement and anticipation for the upcoming basketball game, I finally made my way home, eager to unwind with my family. As I stepped through the front door, the familiar warmth and laughter of home enveloped me like a comforting embrace.
"Hey there, champ," Dad greeted, flashing me a grin from his spot on the couch. "Ready to take on the world?"
I chuckled, dropping my backpack by the door. "Always, Dad. But first, I need some food. I'm starving!"
Mom emerged from the kitchen, a knowing smile playing on her lips. "Well, you're in luck, Miguel. Dinner's almost ready."
As we gathered around the dinner table, the conversation flowed effortlessly, filled with laughter and playful banter. Dad regaled us with tales from his office, while Mom shared the latest gossip from the neighborhood. And Mia, ever the comedian, kept us all entertained with her witty remarks and infectious energy.
"So, Miguel, any special someone in your life?" Mom teased, winking at me from across the table.
I rolled my eyes, feigning exasperation. "Oh, you know, just waiting for the right person to come along."
Dad chuckled, nudging me playfully. "Well, when you do find her, make sure she's ready for the Santos charm."
We all erupted into laughter, the sound filling the room with warmth and joy. In that moment, surrounded by the love of my family, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the simple pleasures of home.
As the evening wore on and the clock ticked closer to midnight, I excused myself from the table and retreated to my room, eager to check in with the Sign System. Little did I know, another surprise awaited me in the digital depths of my mind.
With a sense of trepidation, I accessed the Sign System, bracing myself for whatever awaited me. To my astonishment, a message flashed before my eyes, announcing a new reward and a mission.
"Congratulations, Miguel Santos," the voice intoned. "You have been granted the Divine Physique, a physical form capable of shattering universes."
I blinked in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the enormity of the gift bestowed upon me. A divine physique? Was this some kind of joke?
But as I sighed in and felt the surge of power coursing through my veins, I realized that it was no laughing matter. With a single thought, I could shatter mountains, bend rivers, and reshape the very fabric of reality itself.
Yet amidst the awe and wonder, there was a nagging sense of unease gnawing at the edges of my consciousness. How was I supposed to control such immense power? And what was the purpose of this newfound strength?
Before I could ponder these questions any further, the Sign System announced the mission: to defeat the opposing basketball team in tomorrow's game with a score of 10-100 points above them or above 90, ensuring a decisive victory.
I stared at the message in disbelief, the gravity of the task ahead weighing heavily on my shoulders. Beat the opposing team by a landslide? Was this some kind of joke?
But as I glanced at the broken remains of my bed, shattered by the mere force of my sighing in, I realized that there was no room for doubt or hesitation. Whatever lay ahead, I would face it head-on, armed with the unwavering support of my family and the boundless potential of the Sign System.
With a sense of determination burning in my heart, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, ready to face whatever challenges awaited me in the days to come.
