Chapter 25 - 25 Purpose

If i think about it, this is the first i have wrapped my arm onto someone, other than my sister and that girl i used to be friends with. So it feels weird for me, but not something i would consider special.

".....i did not expect for you to do that..."

"You were the one who leaned onto me, so why is this a big deal?"

We were looking at each other, and Amelia had this expression on her face, that i do not know how to describe. One thing was sure, she was cute.

"Nothing, but if you were to wrap your arm around me, you should placed it here-"

She grabbed my arm that was sittung on her shoulder, and moved it onto her waist...

"Now, that is a lot better"

"Why? Isnt that the same thing?"

She shrugged both of her shoulders and replied with....

"I don't know, this is the first time i have been this close with someone that is not a girl"

"How about your brother or father?"

She shook her head, she leaned in closer to me and rested her head on my collar bone.....

"I only have a little sister, and my parents are sperated. I live with my mother right now, and that was when i was 7 years old when it happened"

I was surprised, i did not expect that Amelia had a past like that. I mean i do not really know Amelia's past, but still i did not expect for her to have a past like that.....

"What's wrong?"

She asked. After knowing that Amelia and I both share the same situation and past, kinda. I embraced her, and gently caressed her hair....

"Nothing, are you okay with me being this close to you?"

She sat straight and stared onto my eyes.....

"No, i do not mind a single thing about you being this close"

She then wrapped her arm around my waist and leaned in more closer. I noticed people staring at us, probably becausewe looked like a couple...

"There sure are a lot of people staring at us"

"Don't mind them, its not their busines anyway"

She calmly said. We both were looking at the horizon as the sunset's, i looked at the time and it was already 6 pm...

"Its late already, we should go home"

"Yeah, i agree"

She slowly stood up and I also stood up after her. As i walked her home, i immediately went straight back to my house. When i arrived, my sister just arrived and she noticed me....

"You just got home?"

I nodded and she told me that she will cook dinner, and then walked inside our house. After she went inside, i stored my bike into the inventory. I went to my room directly and changed my clothes, after I ate breakfast. Amelia was messaging me, saying that she is eating dinner as of now. I told her to eat well and I was looking at my status afterward.....

I distributed my available skill points evenly. That way it will not be imbalanced...

"I got to say, I still yet to find the reason why this all was given to me"

Even though its only been a week since this system was given to me, i still wanted to know whats the reason this all happened to me.....

Remembering the 'Only i Level Up' manwha i used to read months ago, there must be also an architect responsible for giving me this system, and also the ability to go into another world...

"But.....didnt the protagonists of that manwha, met with the architect before he got awakened?"

That did not happen to me, the system was given to me when went inside that hole....

"There is also a possibility that, there is no supernatural being that is responsible for giving me this. However, that might be a low possibility"

Either way, if i progress my way inside the other world. Then, maybe i can meet the one who was responsible for giving me this system....

After i ate dinner, i was chatting with Amelia for a while. When the time struck 9 pm, i said goodnight to Amelia. Because i still need to exercise, so that i can reach the next level....

AN HOUR LATER

"With that, i am done"

I was covered with sweat, i opened the window and took a break before i went to take a shower....

I was laying on my bed, scrolling through the internet. I decided to reread the 'Only i Level Up' manwha, so i can get information regarding the system.

Instead, i got sidetracked and instead binge read the manwha. Apparently the manwha ended, but there were side chapters of the protagonists life after he saved the world.

As i was reading the manwha, i noticed that the light was flickering. I stopped reading and placed my attention on the flickering light, i got annoyed and decided to turn off the light.

When i switched off the light, it was still flickering and did not turn off....

"That's weird"

I grabbed the dagger inside the inventory, i immediately knew that i was inside a dream.

The light was flickering, turning my room into dark and bright simultaneuosly. It was hard for me to see where the dark figure is, if there is any present inside the room....

I suddenly heard a crawling sound on the wall....

"It must be that monster that appeared this morning"

Cautious of where it might be....all of a sudden the light was not flickering anymore and it was back to normal....

"Thats weird-"

'Knock knock'

Someone was knocking on my door, i was skeptical on opening the door, since it might be a monster.

"Open the door, Clint!!!"

It was my sisters voice, she was shouting my name. She continued to knock on the door, convinced that it was my sister on the other side. I opened the door, and multiple spikes went through my body.

'Cough'

I coughed up blood, staring at the monster who was disguising as my sister. I attempted to drive the dagger i had on my hand, on its neck...

"Son of a bitc-"

Before i could do anything, a spike went through my neck. It then pulled out all the spikes from my body, dropping me on the floor. It walked off out of my sight, i was bleeding on the floor. Having difficulty breathing, my body was getting cold and my vision slowly turned blurry.....

"Aughhhh!!!!"

I suddenly woke up screaming, choking on my spit. I constantly touched my body and neck, oblivious on my action.

"What? What happened?"

I looked at the time and it was after midnight, trying to remember on what happened. My mind was blank, and i could not recall anything.

"Must be another dream"

Citra was not exaggerating, when she said that it disrupts her sleep. That must be the reason why her skin turned pale, its probably because of lack of sleep.

"I wonder what her dreams look like?"

After all she has a level of 50. If i have dreams like this at such a low level, i cannot imagine what her dreams look like.

"I wonder if it is possible to fight the monsters that appear inside the dream?"

Well, even if i ask Citra that question. She may not be able to remember, since you cannot remember the things you did inside the dream.

I scratched my head, and my body wanted to sleep. I laid down on the bed, next to the hole that monster made, fully aware that if i sleep again, dreams will continue to appear.

Risking it, i closed my eyes and hoping that i can sleep peacefully.....

The sunlight was shining on my eyes, the sound of my sister annoyingly knocking on the door. The sound of the birds chirping, i knew that i had slept peacefully....

"What?"

I said as i opened the door, she pulled my hair and nagged directly in front of my ear...

"It is past 8 already, you are late for school. Did the sound of me knocking on your door multiple times, not able to wake you up?"

I did not know it was 8 am, i quickly washed my faced and grabbed my bag. I went to the kitchen and my sister handed me my lunch, i thanked her and immediately went to school.

By the time i arrived, Mr. Fry was waiting on the gate. I did not want him to scold me again, so i went around the school, i decide to climb on the wall.

It was not difficult to climb, in fact it was easy. Despite it being 10 feet high, i did not have any difficulty on climbing, and also landing on the ground.

I was on my way to my classroom, i encountered the same person that punched me on the face. I stared at him, he was afraid and did not maintain eye contact for a long time.
