Then Jake saw a small tab that said the words \'Quests\'. He decided to check it out but didn\'t know how to open it up again.

"Wow! It looks like all those games people used to play all the time." Jake thought excitedly.

Jake noticed that on the status screen, there were more tabs on the top but without even doing anything and just reading the tabs in his head, the screen automatically switched.

<Quests>

<Main quest>

<Reach level 10>

<Daily quest: Preparation to become stronger>

<Push ups: 50 times>

<Sit up: 50 times>

<Squat: 50 times>

<Running: 10km>

<Rewards for completion: 10XP>

"So everytime I complete my daily quests, I will be rewarded with 10XP." Jake thought excitedly. "But this feels quite weird. What even happens when I get 100XP."

"Then you will level up and progress to the next level." The system spoke.

Jake upon hearing the system\'s voice, yelped in shock. He totally forgot about the system speaking to him earlier, because the system was so quiet, and Jake was mesmerized by the system that he forgot there was also a talking voice attached to it.

"Don\'t… Don\'t do that." Jake said in his mind while trying to calm his wildly beating heart.

"Am sorry, I startled you." The system apologized.

"Its okay. So who are you?" Jake asked.

"I\'m an AI that\'s designed to help whoever gets this system to get stronger." The system replied.

"Designed? By who?" Jake asked.

"I don\'t really know the answer to that question." The system replied.

"What can I call you?" Jake asked trying to come up with names.

"You can call me AI or anything you deem fit." the system said.

After a few minutes of deliberation, Jake finally decided on a name.

"How about Zee." Jake suggested.

"Zee?! It\'s quite good and has a nice ring to it. I love it." Zee said.

"Okay Zee, since you don\'t have much information about yourself or about who created the system, do you have information on the details being shown on the system screen?" Jake asked.

"Yes, I do. In fact, I was created to help the user of this system to grow in strength and also to clarify what might seem confusing." Zee answered.

"Okay, that\'s nice. So first of all, why is the skill level saying \'untrained.\' ?" Jake asked.

" \'untrained\', indicates that you are a beginner and haven\'t yet developed any skills. As you progress and gain XP, your skill level will increase too." Zee answered.

"Okay, that makes sense and it\'s nice. But what about the daily quest, how does it help me?" Jake asked checking the Quest status again.

"That, it\'s for you to get stronger physically. What? Did you expect to defeat your foes with a body like yours?" Zee asked sarcastically while also chuckling.

"Now that you put it that way, you are right." Jake said. "Okay, I believe I saw another tab earlier. What was it? Ahhh, there it is." Jake said while opening up the tab with his mind.

<Skill Tab>

<Melee combat: Level 1 (Deals 10 damage with basic weapons therefore removing 10% HP from enemy)

<Level 2: Locked; Reach level 10 to unlock.>

<Level 3:Locked; Reach level 20 to unlock.>

<Magic: Level 0; Get to level 20 to unlock magical elements.>

<Stealth: Level 1; Increases evasion chances by 10%>

<Inspect Skill: Level 1; Brings up information of an enemy>

**********

That was all the skills Jake could see, the rest were greyed out or locked till he got to a certain level.

"Woah, so I can also get magic attributes or elements?" Jake excitedly asked.

"Yes. You can but that is when you get to level 20." Zee explained.

"Woah, that\'s awesome." Jake exclaimed happily and then the memories of the night of his parents murder resurfaced again.

"I think the universe really wants me to get revenge for my parents murder."

Jake was so excited and mesmerized by the system that he didn\'t realize that the time was already gone. It was time for Jake to be discharged.

"Hope you had a good rest?" Haley asked while checking if everything was alright with Jake before finally discharging him.

"Yes. I\'m feeling better now." Jake responded all smiles.

"Great. I\'m gonna discharge you now. And also your roommates are here to see you and possibly take you to your dorm." Hayley said.

Just right on cue, the whole roommates entered to see Jake.

"Dude, how are you doing?" Jack asked coming closer to Jake.

"I feel fine, thanks." Jake answered getting out of bed.

"Bro, you scared us there. We thought that you were seriously hurt by the werewolves." Vynn said.

Jake smiled because of the sentiments. "Don\'t worry, am fine now. Besides I wasn\'t badly hurt, I just fell unconscious because of the trauma of seeing a werewolf again."

Jake said looking around the room.

"Where are the others?" Jake asked still scanning the room for any signs of the others.

"Ohh, they are getting your lunch ready because you didn\'t eat anything for the past 2 days now." Vynn replied.

"Ohh! I actually forgot that I haven\'t even eaten. Maybe it\'s because of that incident with the second years." Jake replied.

"Okay. Shall we go to our dorm now because am quite famished." Jack said already on his way towards the door.

Vynn and Jake hurriedly go after him so they could go to their dorms and have lunch together. After thirty minutes of walking, they finally get to their dorm.

Before they even opened the door, Jake could already perceive the aroma of the food from the door.

"Huh! That is odd, how can I perceive the aroma of the food from here?" Jake thought.

"It\'s because you have changed. The change also affected your body thereby giving you a little bit of enhanced senses." Zee said.

"Oh that\'s right, I got a system and an AI too. I almost forgot about that." Jake thought finally opening the door and entering into the room.

"Surprise!!!" The remaining roommates shout out at once.

"We didn\'t know what you like, so we just decided to get you a lot of food that you might like." Kate said trying to gauge Jake\'s emotions.

"This.. the food smells delicious. Thank you so much everyone." Jake said smiling while sitting around the table that was prepared to eat.

While they were eating, Peter decided to ask the question that was probably on everyone\'s mind.

"So how did you survive the encounter with the werewolf and what was it like?" Peter asked.

"Scary, I guess. And I don\'t even know how I survived." Jake said trying to sound convincing.

"Thank heavens you managed to survive." Sophia said. "Who knew that the weakest member of our team would be the one to survive a werewolf encounter." Sophia said with sarcasm in her voice.

They all laughed it off, as it was the first joke and effort that Sophia made to interact with the room. After some minutes of eating, they decided to sit around to listen to Jake\'s tale of the encounter with the werewolves.

After some hour of chatting, telling tales and asking questions about Jake\'s encounter they finally decided to retire to their beds for the night so that they could wake up early in the morning so as to avoid being late for their first class which starts by 9am the next day.
