"Yawn, "Neo woke up and started preparing to get out of bed
"Another day, another boring day" I'm tired of going to school every day. I wish I had the same privilege as the other kids who have money to spend every day.
"Today is Mrs. Garcia again huh? Minor subject acting like a major. Mrs. Garcia needs to think about her future. She's already old, what will happen when she dies accidentally? Students will think she deserves to die, even I will think the same way" thinking to myself
After eating and taking a shower, I saw my dad at the front door "Dad, I will go now give me my allowance."
"I just gave you your weekly allowance," he said, looking at the calendar next to the door. "It's only Tuesday, and you don't have any more money? Do you think we are rich?" he said angrily
"Just trying my luck, Dad. Hehehe. I will be going now. Take care." I walk passed him and open the door. My school is 30 mins away in our home, to save more money I just walk there. While walking, I was thinking about my family situation.
We are not rich, and we are not poor either. You can call us 50/50. Sometimes we have extra money, and sometimes we are short on money. Middle class in short
My dad works at the grocery store. He's the manager there. As for my mother, she is a full-time homemaker. But my mother has this hobby of baking cakes. Sometimes some of our immediate family ask her to bake or our neighbors would. She's getting some extra with that.
I have twin siblings. A boy and a girl, both in the same school as me. Attending their last term in junior high. And me? I'm in my last senior year.
I knew my family's situation. After graduating senior, I will start working to help my family. It's better if I can go to a good company, that way I can help my siblings to go to college. As I was spacing out while walking, I heard someone shout
"KID, WATCH OUTTTTT!!!!!!" a middle-aged man shouted.
I hear him, but it's too late. It's already in my face. It knocked me out, and I stumbled upon the street feeling dizzy.
"What are you doing, kid? Are you insane? I told you to watch out. Why Are you spacing out?" said the middle-aged man.
"Aw. Aw. Awww, my head hurts. What was that?!!" Turning my head and spotting the murderer. It was a thin plywood. "F*ck, it hurts. Why the f*ck is this plywood here anyway?"
"Maybe don't space out while walking in the street. And you don't notice? It's an ongoing repair building," pointing and the warning signage with a mocking tone in his voice.
Ugh, rubbing my head while trying to stand up. The middle-aged man helped me up.
"Sorry, sorry, old man. I forgot to leave my stupidity at home," I said while massaging my head.
"Who are you calling an old stupid brat?" He chuckled at me. "Next time be careful, brat. You're going to school, right? Go to the clinic before you attend your class. If you don't go, maybe it will make you more stupid. Hahahahahaha." He walked away without looking at me anymore.
"Damn old man," I start walking. Soon I saw the entrance of the school. While walking, I see so many flowers already blooming. How I wish I could pluck them one by one or two at the same time, hehehe. My delusional thinking is getting out of hand.
"Neo come here sit with me," I hear my best friend's voice.
"Yo, Jack, what's up?" I came and sat next to him.
"Bro, what's the deal with your new hairstyle? You have a bump on your forehead, hahahaha."
"Shut up. I got hit while walking," lamenting at my unlucky day.
And to worsen my day, I see Mrs. Garcia, the evil and feeling-important professor. 'Why don't you retire already, Miss Garcia? It's a big saving grace for all of us.' thinking to myself
"Okay class, for today you will be having a surprise quiz from 1 to 100, and the passing is 75. If you fail, you fail my subject. Understand?"
"Demon"
"Devil"
"Whore"
"I wish you died."
…
..
.
You will hear all kinds of whispers with the frustration of the student.
"Quiet!! I give you 25 mins to finish the quiz," Mrs. Garcia said.
"Damn, she is the devil. Satan will pale if we compare him to her," I whisper.
--
After an hour, we survive hell. Miss Garcia walks out of the classroom, feeling happy about the suffering of the student.
"Neo, what's wrong with that old hag? Why is she feeling so happy with our suffering?"
"Maybe you should try your luck with her, Jack. Make her fall for you. With great lovers comes great help, right? Help us pass her subject. It's better if only one is suffering than all of us, right?" I said while I tried to convince Jack.
"Let's just fight Neo! Why don't I just make a hole in the banana tree and fck that? It's better than that old hag!" Shouting historically
"Hahahahaha don't take it too seriously, Jack. I was just imagining things."
"DON'T IMAGINE THAT!! IT'S GETTING IN MY HEAD, MAKING ME WANT TO PUKE!!" He leans at me and headlocks me while shouting, "DAMN YOU, NEO!! DIEEEE!"
"Stop. Stp. Stoooop! I was just kidding, bro! I will seriously die if you keep shaking my head, damn you!" Struggling to separate his arm from my neck
After some time, Jack calmed down. "Say, Neo, what do you plan to do after we graduate?"
Seeing him so serious, "I need to work. But I don't know where the future will bring me. Maybe I'll apply to where my father works. How about you?"
"Even If I want to go college, we don't have extra. I need to help my family. But my family still insists that I take college" Jack
Seeing his demeanor change, I asked, "How was your sister?"
"Getting worse day by day. Let's stop here neo. The teacher is already here," looking at the door.
A few hours have gone by.
"Jack see you tomorrow. I'm so sleepy. Damn that plywood," remembering the incident that happen this morning.
"Yeah, Neo, I have some errands to do too. Let's hang out another time. Be careful when you go home. Don't add scratches on your girly face."
"Fuck off. This is beautifully handsome. You're just jealous, men," saying it while walking away.
"Damn. I want to punch that pretty boy's face. He really should go modeling with that face," Jack chuckled.
Finally home. I changed my clothes and lay in the bed with my phone on TikTok, scrolling some booty-shaking ass. It didn't take too long for me to fall asleep.
"Oh, where am I? So dark in here?"
"Ding"
"What's that?"
"Hello host, I'm the system."
"System what? What system? Fck!!!! Did I die? Where am I? I will miss my family! What is happening!?" I only remember after I fell asleep is booty and some flowers dancing.
"Ding, host, calm down. Nothing has happened yet. You didn't die or anything."
"Really? So what's happening?"
"Ding due to the plywood that hit you, and as I, coincidentally, was looking for a host, I got amused by your stupid behavior. So I picked you."
"My unlucky day turned out to be my lucky day? So where are we?"
"Ding answering host, we are currently in your dream. If you agree to become my host or you reject it."
"So you're giving me a choice? That's some rare system you got there. I read many system-based novels, and it's forcing the host to do something dangerous."
"Ding answering host, some systems love to make the host miserable. I am too lazy to do that. I just want to assist and view the world with the host."
"If I agree with you, what can you do?"
"Ding answering host, I can do many things, almost everything. I can make you travel to any world, make you so strong, etc."
"You won't make a mission that wants to kill me as a penalty? Or make me do a forced mission like that?"
"Ding answering host, as I was saying, I'm too lazy to do that. If you want a mission, I can give you one if you fail, it depends on the situation. For example, you rob a bank and fail. Either you die or go to jail. The mission is based on the action of the host."
"I am willing to be your host," excited. This is a 1 in a trillion chance to do what my imagination wants me to do. Wait, Hollywood artist, wait for me, Korean baby.
