Quartex The System

"Is this what you implied by choosing? Old Man, did you know something like this was going to happen?"

When he first saw this screen he thought he had turned into an idiot, however, when he saw that the window screen didn't seem to be leaving any time soon he pushed the thoughts of being delusional to the back of his mind.

Zhao Yun's was on the verge of stomping at the ground and banging his head on the walls, "Why are so many weird things happening? I'm starting to doubt my eyes, am I still sane? Would someone insane know if they were sane? I mean, I don't think I am insane" he rubbed his eyes and reopened them once again only to see the window screen was still floating in front of him in thin air.

Maybe his hunger was starting to impair his vision and maybe even affecting his mind?

For these past few hours, he had been seriously contemplating on what he should do. His situation as it was, was uncertain, however, he had a feeling that the most likely scenario would him being killed off by either one, the people who captured him, or two, starvation.

His hunger was hitting an all-time low and if he didn't get food soon he was sure that he would not survive another three days.

So his choices as it stood were one, take the chance of waiting for the warden to come and deal with him and hope that his captures believe his story and let him go, or two, accept this inheritance that was in front of him now and hope that it will somehow give him a way of getting out of this place.

After a long while passed, he sighs deeply, "I don't like the first idea, the chance of surviving is slim and I don't feel like dying again if I can help it. The only choice left is this thing"

Zhao Yun stared at the window screen for a moment before raising his arm, his finger stopped just inches from the box, "Forget it, I will deal with the consequences when they come, besides, this inheritance could have something to do with the old man, the possibility is small but it still exists. If he should have a connection with this then this is my only chance at finding him"

Without hesitating any longer he his finger moved and pressed "Yes".

A loading icon appeared and swirled in circles, Zhao Yun could tell that it resembled a lot like the computer systems on Earth particularly the game interfaces.

After waiting for only a moment several window screens replaced the old.

"...."

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, "It will aid me?"

Feeling as if a lifeline was just thrown out to him he immediately pressed "Yes" to start the tutorial.

However, just after pressing "Yes" he almost instantly regretted his decision. Information flooded his mind causing a splitting headache and only after a short while passed did he start to feel better.

He collapsed to the floor and felt his vision going blurry, "I can't pass out, otherwise, it might fall asleep for good"

Zhao Yun mustered the last of his strength to sit back up and bite his tongue to make the pain keep him conscious.

He felt as if his brain had scanned every word from a book and had perfectly memorised it to the letter, he felt like his mind has overworked. Zhao Yun recalled the information and looked at the new window screen in front of him.

However, even though he was mustering every ounce of his strength to remain conscious he still felt his eyesight getting blurry by the second.
