Chereads / The Dream of a Reader / Chapter 2 - A New Life

Chapter 2 - A New Life

It was a cold winter night. The snow was slipping from the clouds just like how my consciousness was starting to slip away. I was ready to go to bed, but for some reason I felt like something very important was missing, something I needed to do, so I took a look at my phone and saw a message from Simon, the only friend I had in school.

[Bro what do you wanna do in life?]

I answered [What is this question at this hour? Anyways if I had to say something I think it would be to have some fun, feel the adrenalin rushing in you know? I'm a simple man.]

A minute passed... 5 minutes... and 10 minutes passed... He left me on read. THAT SON OF A BASTARD.

"Hmph, whatever" I said out loud then went to a deep sleep that would change everything I ever knew.

***

Triririring Triririring

A loud alarm sound suddenly woke me up.

*Huaaam*

I yawned and then looked around to see myself in... an unfamiliar place?

Where am I? Was I kidnapped? Wait a minute could it be that the live action makers took me while I was asleep because it shouldn't be leaked to the public? Yeah, that seems like the case I should try finding someone around here.

With those thoughts that were strangely too calm, I got up from my bed and saw that I wasn't wearing my pajamas but someone else's pajamas.

What is this? Did they really change my outfit while I was asleep? Why though? I had a lot of questions.

*Ding*

While I was contemplating what I should do now a blue screen appeared in front of me.

<>

Name:Douglas Preto

Strength:F

Agility:F-

Mana Capacity:F-

Current prey:None.

Overloaded Senses:The user can choose one of the fibe senses to strengthen up to three times. The talent can be used for one hour but when deactivated the user will randomly lose one of their senses for how many times they strengthened their sense.

I... don't understand anything. Who is Douglas Preto? What is this screen? Where am I? Please somebody come and tell me this is a prank.

But nobody came.

I was all alone and nobody came to tell me that this was a prank. 'This is sadly reality but what is this screen in front of me? I have never seen anything like this before' I muttered.

A robotic voice spoke:

*This screen in front of you is your system made to help you.*

"HUH? THIS THING CAN TALK!"

*Yes, I am the system made to help you.

Please ask me if you are wondering anything.*

"Uhhh where am I?"

*You are inside the novel "Sauboro's adventures"*

"Inside the novel? Don't you mean inside the live action?"

*No, you have transmigrated into the novel "Sauboro's adventures"*

"What" was the only thing I could mutter after the shocking truth was revealed to me. I was no longer back at my own earth but in the universe of my favorite novel.

"Wait, I didn't even read the 1000th chapter and the novel wasn't even over what will happen in the ending?"

*Sadly, I can not tell you that information.*

"Aw, dang it. Can you at least tell me the functions of the system and what I can do with it"

*Of course, The system was designed to help you get stronger quickly since you are not a native of this world and behind the others your age. The system's functions are showing you your exact rank, giving you quests to help you become stronger, helping you unlock your true potential and affinity.*

"Oh, well did anyone else get transmigrated other than me or does anyone else have a system like me?"

*Sadly I can only answer the first question as I am not allowed to view more information from the database than I'm allowed to. The answer for the first question is; No, you alone are transmigrated.*

"Thanks, I don't think there is anyone else with a system since they didn't appear in the story at least until the point I read they didn't."

*That is the most likely case. Also, I'll give additional information about your identity.

You are Douglas Preto, A student of the best school in the human continent "Bless"*

"For real? I'm in the same school as the main cast. I guess I'm the custom character I created that was added to the story so it makes sense."

*Yes*

"Also, don't you have a... less robotic voice?"

*Sadly, I do not have a less robotic voice as I AM a robot.*

"Ohhhh, Sorry."

*No problem*

"Well do you have a name or should i just call you system?"

*Please call me system*

"Alright, system let's take a look around this room maybe there is a diary or something that would explain my past and if I have a family in this life"

I started to look around the room. My bed was next to the window, so I could look outside lying down and it was quite a good view with tall buildings in the horizon and the main street in my view, after having a quick look outside I went back to looking at my room. There was a wardrobe next to my bed and in the opposite wall there was a bow sitting next to a picture.

"Looks like I am a sharpshooter, though it isn't surprising since my skills tend to be useful for a sharpshooter." I said while inspecting the bow. It seemed sturdy but a bit old, after that my eyes drifted to the picture next to the bow. There was a man and a boy that I didn't know.

"Are these people related to me system?"

*Yes, It seems this is you and your uncle*

"Oh, I must be on good terms with my uncle to put our picture on my room"

*This picture was taken on 12 September 121. Today's date is 21 November 123, Your birthday in both lives.*

"So, Douglas Preto's birthday is the same as mine huh? Wait why am I talking like that I am both Douglas Preto and Douglas Flux."

I said as if to convince myself.

"Wait, system when does school start"

*The start of a new year is the start of a school year in Bless*

"That means I have a month and a half to get stronger and 'encounter' some opportunities hehehehehe. I AM READY LET'S GO SYSTEM."
