Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Fateful Encounters Part 2

Davids's heart raced as the knock on the door echoed in his mind, an unwelcome intrusion into his chaotic thoughts. He was caught in a whirlwind of worst-case scenarios. "Have they come for me already? Is this the end?" The thought sent a shiver down his spine. But he shook it off. "Well, I might as well see who it is" he thought to himself.

Then he quickly changed into a more presentable outfit, hoping to deflect any suspicion in case it was someone he knew.

When he opened the door, he was relieved to see that it was his next-door neighbour Angella a blond girl with blue eyes and a slim figure, she was the most beautiful girl in his apartment complex and around the same age as him.

"Oh, thank God you're okay! I was starting to get worried. Are you in some kind of trouble David?" she asked, her voice a mix of relief and worry.

"Me in trouble? No way! if anything, I am the trouble," David replied playfully, trying to lighten the mood. "Since when have you cared for me so much? do you have a crush on me?" David said in a playful tone.

Angella's serious expression didn't waver. "I am not in the mood to entertain your games, David; you should tell me why a couple of guys came looking for you last night, and they didn't look very nice so tell me the truth are you in some kind of trouble?" 

David feigned nonchalance. "Don't worry if I was in trouble I would tell you. But could you describe those guys you met? maybe there some friends of mine."

Angela looked at David with a serious look while slightly narrowing her eyes before continuing to ask him questions. "David I am a Cop, and I know when someone's bullshitting me plus I have known you for two years and you're definitely bullshitting me"

"Relax its probably nothing I can't fix so let me the handsome and smart guy handle his business" David said in his usual playful manner.

Angella sighed, clearly frustrated but relieved he was okay for now. "You are a really stubborn individual, but at least you okay but don't think this is over it's just that I have to go somewhere right now but when I come back you better have answers" she said.

"Don't worry about me, Angel. I can take care of myself and there's not much to answer since its all probably nothing serous" he assured her.

Angella was still in doubt about whether David was telling the truth about him being okay, but she didn't have enough time to further investigate David. They talked for a while before she left to go do whatever it was, she was going to do. 

After Angella left David went back to his apartment to piece everything together. He started thinking who it was who came looking for him and guessed that it was probably the people he borrowed money from. "If I know Sal and his guys they probably came looking for when I didn't show up with the money and if that's the case then I can't stay here much longer." David thought to himself trying to figure out his next move.

Suddenly, an idea sparked in his mind. "Genesis!" David called out aloud.

[Yes David] a female robotic voice answered

"Are you actually real or am I hearing things"

[I am very much real, David]

"Then everything you said is real?" he asked, scepticism creeping in.

[Yes]

"Okay then, can you tell me how to use this new power"

[Yes, you can start by thinking or saying status to get access to your Information]

"Status," he commanded 

Then a digital screen appeared before his eyes

___

David looked at all his information trying to understand it. "This is very accurate its almost scary how accurate it is. I can almost understand everything I see here but what is this ability called Drawing Creation"

[The Host is able to create anything they draw and bestow any power to his creation to use this ability you must simply think of creating and a digital canvas will appear having everything the host need to draw]

David began thinking of creating something and then a digital canvas appeared it had all the different kinds of drawing materials from brushes to pencils to things he would use to add colour and it shared similarities to Microsoft paint. David used his finger to scroll through the different options and had the urge to create something and so he thought for a while. He figured since he wasn't a master sketch Artist or painter the first thing, he should create is something to help with that. David using his finger decided to draw an apple. After Drawing the apple which wasn't perfect and giving it the colour red since he liked red apples, he saw an option at the bottom of the screen called create he assumed that this must be the button to use after he is finished creating and he then clicked at the option.

A new digital pop up appeared, and it showed two spaces that needed to be filled in one space it had Name of Creation and the other it Had Description of Creation and at the bottom a question was asked which was do you wish to create Yes/No

David gave his creation the name of Artisan's Apple and the Description of that whoever eats the apple becomes the greatest drawer after filling all the information he clicked yes.

[Ding]

[Creation Complete: 100 Genesis Points consumed]

The apple started to materialize in front of him it looked almost cartoonish like it was made of plastic. David then began to doubt whether he should eat the apple but began to muster up courage and quickly ate the apple.

"Mmm... not bad, it kind of tastes like an apple but maybe little different" David thought to himself

[Ding]

[Host has gained the ability Master Artisan]

David decided to check the description of his new ability

[Master Artisan: The ability to be able to Perfectly Draw, paint and sketch anything]

"Awesome! that's one problem fixed wait did I just lose all my GP" David said out aloud

[Yes], Genesis said in a cold and emotionless tone]

"This can't be happening does it at least generate back" he asked

[No, to gain more Genesis Points you need to use your absorption ability to absorb things]

"Do I need to absorb something special"

[The Host can Absorb anything and will get the appropriate amount of Genesis Points]

With determination set in his mind, David resolved to start experimenting with his newfound powers. "This could be my ticket out of this mess". He thought as excitement coursed through him.
