" I'm so damn sleepy " as if i'm just not slept at 5AM reading novel the whole night. Well, I guess instead of sleeping early to start my part time at 8AM then it's better i guess.
As a customer in convenient store put his drink on the counter for me to scan.
" How much is it ?" ask the man.
" That'll be 5 Ringgit 50 cent, Sir."
The man checking his pocket for the money but nothing to be found.
" Just a second." The man said as he hold his hand towards me.
In a brief second, a portal appeared front of me and the man take his wallet from the portal and gave me 6 ringgit.
" Don't worry keep the change." as i was about to gave him the remaining change.
"Thank you ,Sir. Have a nice day." Noir said just as he exit the store.
( " Well, At least he's not an assholes despite his cool abilities.") Noir sigh.
Few hours later, Noir swiped the break time sign on the convenient store. His thought full of the customer that use their power because they are some who forgot their money and some was careless -break a glass drink. But the guy fixed it using his abilities
( " Well, you should at least be nice person for you to own such abilities of course.) Noir thought as he stare at his ring.
" Yoo Noir!" A guy suddenly appeared to Noir sight.
" Whooahhh." Noir startled at the same time a packed of cigarette fell on top his head. " Wtf dude! you scare me." as Noir put back the cigarattes to its place.
The guy just laughed as his wipe his tears from laughing to his heart content. " Aahh my stomach hurt." the guy finally stop laughing.
" Damn you, Jemi. Are you done do your work at the back?" ask Noir.
" Already done, Sir." as he makes a face that mocking me.
" Then, Help me at arrange and put the beverages at the fridge." as i was about to pick the boxes drink.
Jemi then smirk as he hold his hand upward, his ring glowing as he called his clone.
" Jemi number 2 ! Rise !" as a figure that look like Jemi appeared from Jemi's Ring. " Hey go put drink from the boxes to its place." said Jemi.
" Alright, Original Jemi!" as Jemi number 2 give a thumb sign to Jemi.
" Thank you my warrior!" Jemi answer with also a thumb sign. " Btw, why are daydreaming about, Noir." as Jemi change his attention to Noir."
Noir just sigh as he directed his hand front of him and the ring on finger his glow . Suddenly, A screen appeared front of him.

They watched the screen as Noir said. " See what i meant. This is such a useless power-I mean what could gained by watch my own status. And why the hell my Stats are locked. It didn't even give any reason and how to unlock it!" Noir blatter.
" How lucky are you to have such a power. When mine are basically a biodata of me. " Noir sigh.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Jemi pat Noir on the shoulder. " Well, every power has its own perk you know. It could be useless now -but maybe it could help you in the future. Just have a trust you know." Jemi said.
" 21 years quite long god damn it." Noir sigh . " I don't know. I sometime hope to be like them." as Noir gazed toward a big screen attached to a building.
" Like who?" ask Jemi.
" Them." Noir pointing toward the big screen that displayed a group of figure in battlefield.
" Sentinel."
"You mean the rankers?" Jemi ask.
" Yeah. If not because of this ring could give me at least common powers -i could maybe become one of those-Sentinels." Noir seems dissapointed of his own abilities.
Jemi looked at Noir worryingly. He know what Noir had to struggle since his birth cause he was one in a billion person in the world that gained uncommon ring.
Jemi sigh. " If a person could hold two rings that could be useful right."
" You're saying we can't? " as Noir open a bottle of drink.
" No. The ring that we have are magically appear on our finger since we were born. If we die, The ring on our finger also disappear. like..flushh." As Jemi hand gesturing the 'Flushh' he imagined. "It's okay bro, Your power have some cool in it you know." Jemi comforting Noir.
Noir looked at the screen on the building one last gaze. " Yeah right. "
The convenient store door ringing.
Dingggg....
" Welcome." Noir and Jemi welcoming a customer as their break was over.
As day passed by, Since the store need to be closed before 12PM. Noir and Jemi already swiping the open sign to closed as they were about to close the store.
" Let's tidy this place up as fast we can!" Noir said in excitement.
" Let's go boys." as Jemi called upon two clones of his.
30 minutes later, as Noir are about to lock the convenient store door. A figure in the hood stop infront of him. The face of the figure couldn't been seen as the only visible part is the lips.
Noir startled a bit. " Woahh... Sorry we just closed man. Comeback tomorrow."
" Oh really, Aww.. i'm bit late it seems. Sorry i come back tomorrow. " The figure just bow and started to left the place.
But Noir sense something. His heart beating fast and his mind full thought and as the figure going to take another step.
" Wait." Noir stop the figure.
The figure stop in confuse.
" You.." Noir suspiciously said.
The figure body languange seems worried.
The word that are out from Noir mouth.
" You're a girl aren't ya." Noir ask smilingly.
The figure face finally visible but the hood are still on top of her head. " Yeah, Why?." The girl eyes are menacingly icy blue and face seems not older than 20.
Noir grab the key from his pocket and open the store back up. " Well, You are lucky...because this store policy is if a woman comes by the store when about to close- We must let her in." Noir gestures his hand inviting the woman to the store.
As the woman about to enter. " But why?"
" I don't know? I believe the boss said something about this store favours woman, protecting woman, angel..bla...bla...bla." Noir explaining to her as he scratch his head.
The girl seems hiding her laugh as she about to choose her food and drinks.
Noir stayed at the counter as the girl still wander around. " This girl quite cute." Noir muttered. " Not that i interested of course. Because i already have someone i set my heart into. The 7th Rank Sentinel. The Frozen Empress Nia Frazzer . The gaze of her blue eyes and how cool she looked in battlefield." Noir muttered smiling. " Let's not forget her avatar ' The Frost Sovereign ' . Aww she such a cool woman. How lucky for her to be granted a ring that so powerfull. " Noir muttered as he seems not cared about the real world.
"How much this is? " The girl ask. But Noir seems not to hear it as he seems babbling alone on other side of the counter.
" The tenacity of her, Her beauty, The way she act to people are all my type. My dream is to met her. But what if i become shy.....w...what if i couldn't hold my excitement." Noir muttered again.
" Sir ?" The girl ask again this time pouting.
Noir continue to blabbering to himself as the girl finally shouted. " Sir! how much is this!". Noir startled and his face slowly become red.
" Sorry. " As Noir scanning the girl convenient food. " That'll be 10 ringgit."
The girl gave 10 ringgit required for the things she bought. " Here."
As the girl about to leave . Noir stop her.
" Wait a minute. " The girl stop in her track as Noir take out a note walking to her.
"Please write your name and sign. Our boss tell us to ask woman customer who came after the store was about to close and ask to write her name and sign. It kind of my like my OT he said though i don't know how much i get for one girl." Noir said . " Well, If you don't mind." as he gave the woman the note.
" Okay." The girl side while taking the pen and write her name and sign on the note. " Is that all?" the girl ask.
" That'll be all." as Noir take the note back from the girl as she left. " Please come again." Noir said.
Noir sigh as he about close the store again. When he about put the note back to the drawer- His ring glow and a screen popped in front of him. " Wtf.. what is it."
As he read the sentences display on the screen.

Noir seems shocked . " What the hell, Mission accomplish? " Noir frustrated. " If i know this kind of mission existed could probably end the mission more sooner. I could probably gained many mission to get stronger." Noir looked like his crying.
" Wait but what is this?." Noir stared at the sentences that say ( STATS ARE NOW UNLOCKED ) " My stat are already unlocked. Let see what kind of stats i have." as Noir swiped the screen to Stats page.
As his eyes stared at his stats page. His gaze locked and the only word he could let out are.

He fell his head on the counter as he spouting the languange we longer not understand.
A few minutes later, Noir seems to realize something.
" Wait. The mission just said i need to met a ranker. That mean i already found it. For 20 years i never met one of the ranker. I only saw them on the screen. Then who? " Noir thinking.
" That could be only mean." Noir seems confused " The girl just now are....."
