National Mountain Range, West of Metro Citedal.
A person was walking on a long path with bench chairs on the sides.
It was lush green as the flowers captured the rising sun.
The person had all his clothes soaking wet.
He was a young man in his early twenties with long dark hair reaching his neck.
His clothes looked expensive but were torn everywhere making him look like a homeless person.
And his walk was abnormal.
As he walked people started appearing in track clothes as they ran and some doing exercising.
They were giving him weird looks as if he was out of this world while whispering to each other.
Though he looked like he was just walking aimlessly he could hear what they were saying about him.
'Hey look at him he looks like one of those that when they are below five would go completely insane and kill civilians.'
'I think someone should call the authorities.'
'No way what if he sees you and attacks you.'
'Yeah just let him roam around he'll end up meeting the guards along the way.'
What do they mean crazy and a killer? He thought in his mind as their whispers made him confused.
I don't look like a killer am I? He checked himself to see how he looked finding himself astonished.
What! He ran sitting on a bench after a while as he started inspecting himself.
"My legs they... they are fine and I can walk." He jumped up in surprise before sitting back down as he again received weird looks.
My chest is fine. As he inspected his body tears were streaming down his face with happiness.
He was walking when he could never even sit straight in the past... his back was fine like everyone else so was every part of his body that made him disabled before.
"Ahahahahahaha... Caugh, Caugh, Caugh, Ahm... it must be a miracle, I really must have encountered a miracle." He stretched his arms patting himself in the chest.
As he was immersed in himself someone approached him saying, "Hey mind keeping it down you scaring the people."
Jumping in surprise as he came out of his thoughts he looked to his right seeing nobody, which confused him. ???
"To your left idiot..." Said the person whose voice was feminine and beautiful it came from a middle-aged woman with a buff build.
"Ah sorry did I bother you?" He asked not sure of how else to react as he got weird feelings.
He is not a sociable person so being talked to like that made him feel something...

"Nah it's just that the way your talking and how you look is making people get the wrong idea and call on the authorities on you." From how she was talking and her looks he was sure of one thing this person was a strong person someone not to be messed with.
Nodding he closed his mouth and looked straight tapping his index on his knees.
Observing him the woman whose hair and lips were red, thought to herself he sure has a strong presence I wonder if he's a hero or villain...
Not waiting long on the other party to say something because he looked like he was about to she asked him directly, "Say young lad why do you look like this don't you have somewhere to live?"
In this society, it is important to not ask strangers whether they are heroes or villains as when it comes to those who have superpowers asking such a question would spark a fight if it goes in the wrong direction.
He looked at her and paused for a long time before answering by asking her a question, "Why ask that?"
With no hesitation on her face, she said, "Because lately many were found dropping below five on the social points, and seeing you being here must mean..." She didn't finish her answer but that was more than enough to make sense to him where she was going with it.
After what seemed like an eternity, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"No, no, no you got me wrong..." In a panic he started searching for something finding everywhere he looked nothing.
"Oh, sh*t, sh*t, my watch is gone my freaking identity watch is gone." He looked around both his wrists seeing no watch on either hand.
When she first approached him, she noticed that he was not wearing his watch and his demeanor seemed unusual. This made her suspect that he might be a villain rather than a hero. And when he mentioned that he had lost his watch, her suspicion only grew stronger.
"Young man I don't know what happened to you or who you are but for public safety, you should come with me to report this to the nearest law enforcer's office." She extended her hand towards him looking him dead in the eyes like saying I can see through you.
It was at this moment he realized what kind of trouble he was in, but to not look suspicious he smiled and stood up saying, "Should I go after you or hold hands." Still looking at her stretched hand.
She smiled and said, "No need for that walk beside me and my name is Sonya by the way." She implied to him waiting for his name but it never came as he just walked beside her to the right.
Both of them walked side by side getting many looks from the people that were there at the national park.
The National Mountain Range is a vast national park that encompasses an area as large as a big city. It boasts numerous hotels and government buildings and is home to significant historical sites.
"What do you know of the metric system of this place?" Suddenly as they were walking Sonya asked him a question stunning him in place.
He looked petrified on the outside but inside his head, something else was happening.
Numerous digitals codes like DNA flashed in his head as soon as he said the word system in his head.
[Ding DNA System Unlocked]
[Ding]
[Transitioning To Dinosaur Base Function]
[Dinosaur System Active Ready For Command Voice]
'System?' He said in his head...
[Yes How May I Assist You Host]
'Host... System... what is going on?'
[I'm A-T Here To Assist Host In Managing System]
'What?' He was confused as to what was happening inside him and for once he wanted to scream but then stopped himself from doing so not wanting to look crazier than he looks already.
'Calm down, calm down." He said to himself breathing lightly.
After a few seconds of breathing, he looked at Sonya not saying anything as he continued to walk beside her while trying to figure out what was happening inside his head.
'Who are you to me?' He asked wanting to prove himself that he was just delusional before not having heard anything and thought wrong, but it came to him like pouring cold water at him.
[I'm A-T An Assistant To The Host To Manage The System Does that Answer Your Question Host]
'Yes but that doesn't explain why you are in my head, are you some parasite or what?' He probed hoping his imagination doesn't become the truth.
[A-T Is Part Of System And System Is Part Of Host Not A Parasite]
'Will I die if the system dies
[No System Is Part Of Host It Will Not Die As It Merged With Host Internally But System Will Be Destroyed If Host Dies]
'Then how did you or the system merge with me?' He asked wanting to know why and when such a thing happened to him thinking it might solve his current predicament.
[When Host Was In Danger System Bonded With Host To Save You]
Hearing that answer he squinted his eyes thinking suspiciously but let it go for another time as they arrived at their destination.
Sonya Gazed at him and said, "You look weird don't act crazy in there or they might lock you up." Hearing her say that his eyes widen.
