The Player's System

Safest place

Jake woke up after one night and half day sleep. As soon as he woke up the first thoughts were whether his arm got healed or not. The arm was healed and he was exceptionally happy. 

This increased his trust for the thing called system. He was learning to be organized with the tasks. Jake did not read about the news and the ongoing discussions on the bigger social media platforms. 

He did not want to invest his attention unless system gave such task to complete. There were three days before the beginning of second level. Several rumors were circulating. 

Some of the Guilds were wreaking their brains to decode the expected tasks in the level two. They wanted to know the difficulty levels and also the type of setting. The first level was completely unexpected though. 

They were sure that it would be same in the second level but curiosity was asking how much it could bring trouble. The developers were neutral in fact the big boss's paid huge sum to keep them neutral. 

It was the first clause of the agreement between all five game companies. In case any one of them tried to influence in the ongoing levels then they will be punished accordingly. 

In this scenario the CEO's of the other companies were ordering their players to get ready for success else they will face the wrath of selectors. It brought another round of burden for other two teams those will join in the second level. 

The third team did not receive any letter from the CEO instead they were free to prepare or rest. Jake was still in his provided personal space. He was glad that no security cameras were put to keep eyes at his activities. He specifically checked all flower pots and the places where he thought that someone could hide spy camera. 

CEO did not want these players to mistrust his intentions. He was working for the benefit of all millions players. His intentions were to destroy the mastermind of this mess and chaos. 

The added responsibility about the players increased his worry. He ordered to double check whether there was some spy working for his enemies. 

All the workers went through investigations. CEO called Junan in the office. They talked friendly and discussed few important topics. One of the topic revolved around young player called Jake Lin. 

Jake Lin showered. He was hopeful about the second level. He found out that he could use Exp for healing the disable arm but it was long way to reach level ten. 

At each next level the required Exp was increasing. This means he was bound to do all tasks from the system in order to reach level ten. At level ten he could buy only however the system clearly mentioned about healing his disable arm at some point where he would meet the perfect requirements of the system. It was challenge for him. 

For him if he could his disable arm then he could learn better controls. Currently he could not use mouse or keyboard just like other players. His right hand kept shaking and the four fingers were not in normal position. 

He could not pick glass of water or support something similar this rendered him helpless for any beneficial use of this arm. Jake wanted to get rid the tag of disable child.

He was curious to see small recoding placed in the secondary stats. Perhaps this did not catch his eyes earlier. The secondary stats was bunch of warnings, so many tasks types, various options for the Exp usage while more than ninety eight percent locked for him. 

It made him relax that the locked options would open up in the future with his advanced level. The enforcement of the rules of the system was by default. 

It reminded him whenever it needed. After some deliberation he thought to listen in the recording. After the accident Jake was unconscious for three days. System recorded few conversations. 

It was up to him whether he wanted to listen or ignore. Jake was no more in hurry for anything. He might have read through all the secondary stats however it looked boring just like the Geography subject. 

Jake opened last recording it was about doctor ordering nurse to inform him when the patient wakes up. Then he told that they decided to cut his arm since the father abandoned the child and not willing to pay the expenses for the surgery. 

At the mention of his father Jake hurriedly opened first recording. This was conversation between the man he ever called father and the doctors. Jake did not notice that tears were flowing on his cheeks. 

The heartless words of his father were like daggers piercing his heart. Jake wanted to smash the screen or break all the expensive decoration of this personal space to vent out his anger. 

He thought to not do this in the end. He was all alone but with the chance to prove his worth. It was time for the daily tasks. Jake concentrated on the exercise of his left hand. 

Its dexterity could drag his levels for now. The rewards for the completion of the first goal were updated. He was not expecting big leaps at the very initial stage. 

It was already wondrous that his broken arm healed properly. After that he went to check the new devices for the game. These were advanced level with cool interface. 

This could make few of the controls easier for him. External and sub-divided options were no more concern. He could access them with gestures. 

The CEO customized these gaming tools for this candidate. He was familiar with his circumstances. The first chance proved that the kid was perfect choice to battle against the cunning lords. 

His brainy decisions let the team actively move forward at every hurdle. According to CEO Jake might take the team head position at some point. He was looking to such development. 

The first level increased his popularity among the audience. It was big achievement for the 'Sovereign Rulers' 

None of the other gamers caught this much attention of the spectators.
