"I have no issue with killing them but I would like to know why." Justin questioned as they moved closer to the shed.
"They're conducting stupid experiments on humans but they're not using the people from the bright side because they believe that they are the only good people." Suzie informed.
"Simply put, they are weeding out the shaff." George added.
Derolo adjusted his glasses and brought out his gun, immediately firing and killing the first person he saw. The remaining people also began shooting but as for Suzie, who didn't use guns, she brought her daggers and headed for a woman in a white lab coat close to her. Her lips twisted into a smirk as she locked eyes on her target.
"You're done.."
****
A boy wearing faded jean trousers and a black shirt with black hair sat, cursing at an entity that no one else knew existed. He had just completed an exam and was unable to write anything.
'Damn! Curse this all!'
The boy sitting next to him who had woken him up when the exam was about to start walked up to him.
"Are you okay?"
Alfred raised his head to look at the boy. He studied his face and could recognize the boy but he just didn't remember who he was or how they met.
"Yeah…"
"You sure, it kinda looked like you were struggling there, I've always sat next to you and you have never been stuck in an exam before."
"Really.."
The boy stared at him like he was crazy but still replied. "Yes, I mean, I never knew what your scores were but I do know that you always wrote something.
"I guess I'm a little sick." Alfred lied, thinking of nothing to say but that.
"Oh, sorry."
There was an awkward silence between the two boys until Alfred decided to break the silence.
"So, what's your name? I'm Alfred Savage."
"Shiro Hobs."
The silence came back and they could do nothing but stare at each other.
"Uh…I'll be going. I have something to do." Shiro informed rubbing his neck.
Alfred watched him leave and he could finally go back to cursing the system in his head But, there was nothing much for him to do. He realized that he was the one at fault. Even after finally accepting that the system was just like a game,and he knew how games worked, he still hadn't done as the system asked, so of course there was bound to be punishments.
He sighed, not because he was angry but because he could do nothing. He didnt even have his memories, even if it was only temporary.
'System interface! Status!'
Suddenly a screen popped up in front of him. Alfred was actually frightened but he was getting used to it.
[Status]
< IQ: 10>
[Other attributes will be revealed as Host levels up]
[Daily tasks]
[Run five kilometers: 500 meters done]
[Have an healthy breakfast: Task failed]
[Write your upcoming exams: Failed due to the inability to remember]
[Talk to a girl?: 0%]
[Learn more about your system, about the gangster system: 0%]
Alfred placed his hands on his chin as he stared at the screen in thought.
"I didn't notice it earlier because I was annoyed about my title but I am surprised that I'm considered fast by the system, when I'm as slow as this?"
He bit his lips. "What exactly is this system?"
[Does host wish to learn about the gangster system?]
Alfred was surprised by the question the system asked but after remembering the daily task, he considered it normal.
"Yes."
[Basic knowledge about the gangster system unlocked]
"Eh?"
Suddenly, a screen popped up and he discovered that he understood his system, at least, the basic things. But, they were already things he knew. Like he was not on a journey to become a hero or villan but he was on the journey to get strong. Another thing that he had managed to learn was that he had gotten the system due to the highest level of power attainable to people on the black part of the moon.
"But, that would be the mafias. I do not really know a lot about the booming businesses, and the wealthy people on my side but all I know for sure is that the mafia is at the top."
He paused for a while, trying to gather his thoughts but he was unable to figure out anything so he decided to ask.
"Why did I get a gangster system and not a mafia system? I mean, the will of Avamos requires me to get strong in my element?"
[The will of Avamos manifested in you as a gangster system, it has nothing to do with your element]
"Alfred, what have you been doing?" A girl who walked up to him asked.
He raised his head lazily and saw her. He couldn't remember her but his guts kept on telling him that he hated the lady.
He rolled his eyes and turned his face away.
The girl smiled as she saw people passing by, her smile was fake as she was seething inside.
"Honestly, Ilya's an angel. See how she's talking to that loser just to make him feel among."
"And the bastard is ignoring her.."
She watched the two boys pass and continued her act of a soft smile but as soon as they left, her face hardened as she turned to the boy who had dared look away from her.
"Didn't you hear me talking to you?" She asked but got no reply.
Unbeknownst to her, Alfred was already in his zone, and he didnt hear her speak.
'I knew it, my instincts were right? I dont like her one bit.'
He suddenly yelped in pain and turned to the annoying girl who was desperately trying to get his attention. It turned out she had stepped on his foot with her cursed heels.
Alfred glared at her and was ready to leave the seat when he remembered something.
'Daily tasks!" He said in his mind and a screen was displayed.
[Daily tasks]
[Run five kilometers: 500 meters done]
[Have an healthy breakfast: Task failed]
[Write your upcoming exams: Failed due to the inability to remember]
[Talk to a girl?:"0%]
He smiled to himself and finally turned to the annoying girl.
"You caught my attention, attention seeker."
