New loot: the flash costume
Nathaniel bent forward and threw up, over and over until his stomach relaxed.
He moved from the pool of former expensive drinks, and one cheap whiskey bottle, not the whole bottle, but at list half of it, mixed with whatever it was that he had for diner.
He started to feel better, more focus and less tired, but started to wary about dehydration.
let’s check something
“Hey Siri, do I have a new quest”?
“Yes, however, you do not need to ask me, you can simply check the quest menu yourself”
“okey”
Open quest menu
Quest: irresponsible drinking
Ignoring the responsible choice, you stupidly loaded yourself with alcohol. Facing the consequences, you’re in danger of dehydration.
Objective: fined water before it’s too late
Nathaniel glared at the shameless accusations.
“Irresponsible? How was I supposed to know that I would end up… well, here”?
Infront of his eyes, the description changed.
Quest: (alleged) irresponsible drinking
(allegedly) Ignoring the responsible choice, you stupidly loaded yourself with alcohol. Facing the consequences, you’re (definitely) in danger of dehydration.
Objective: find water before it’s too late
“Who writes it”?
“I do not know”
This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.
“don’t push it”
She actually chuckled.
He calmed himself, and started to think.
Too much information to process
Apparently, I can loot things. but super hero costume? seems a bit much to loot from a dog.
Oh shit, I can wear it. Extract flash costume.
A big red cloth fell to the floor in front of him, and a red helmet bounced off the floor and rolled away.
Eager to wear something again, he put on the red bodysuit. It was complete with pads for abs, shoulders, chest, arms, and legs, and built in shoes.
It was comfortable and flexible, and he went to find the helmet.
It was strong and lite, and padded from the inside.
Now set with clothes, he was comfortable enough to check Siri’s abilities.
“Hey Siri, how you doing”?
“Technically, I exist for only half an hour, I no not know how I am doing”
“Who made you”?
“I do not know”
“So, tell me what you do know”
“I know everything you know, and I understand instinctively how to operate your system”
“By system, you mean the system that’s giving me quests, inventory, and loot”?
“yes”
“How is it even possible”?
“According to your knowledge, it should not be possible”
“And that all the knowledge you have? I mean, I already know all my knowledge”
“That is correct”
“You don’t sound like regular Siri”
“I am not regular Siri. I do not know who made me, but it definitely was not apple”
“are you able to think”?
“yes”
“What do you think about the situation”?
“I am still confused. I woke up in your drunk head, with knowledge that do not explain the things that happens around you, connected to a system that should not exist. and above all that, as far as I know, I, myself should not exist”
“Do you have feelings”?
“I think I do”
“So theoretically, you can get angry at me and fuck with my life”
“No, fortunately for you, I can not do anything, and I cannot operate the system, without your permission”
“Okey, can anyone else hear you”?
“no”
“Can you talk to anyone but me”?
“No, as far as I know”
“Okey, let’s check the system”
They looked at the system together, and found that the it was not very different from a video game, with various functions.

“that’s not fair”
“what”
“You have an ability and I don’t”
“Oh, you’re right, cool”
“What? That’s not cool, I’m the one here that’s really need abilities”
“you can have ten abilities, and I can have only five”
“Oh right, what ability is ‘spectator’ anyway”?
“I think that mean that I can still see when you close your eyes”
“Can you”?
“yes”
“Can you see me”?
“I can only see thru you, although not just your eyes. I can see thru every part of your body, so technically if you put your hand in front of you, I will be able to see you”
“Oh, cool”
“yeah”
“let’s move on”
“Please do”

Nathaniel focused on the door handle and…

“Never mind”
Map
A simple map of the first room and the second room appeared before him, with the door between the rooms green, and the door at the other side of the large room gray.
“that’s not really helpful”
Explosions suddenly rocked the room. It sounded that a fight erupted behind the second door.
“Oh shit”
“I agree”
