Chapter 3 - Where am I?

Liam was very surprised at the number his intelligence stat displayed.

"Its more then 10 times higher than any of my other stats". He thought to himself.

This is weird though.

Liam was never a genius.

He wasn't dumb, he just never showed outstanding intelligence, but for some reason his intelligence was this high?

Although he didn't know the "average stats" he could tell this was abnormal.

Liam didn't know what to think.

'This must be a side affect of the system". Was his first idea.

He knew his time was limited and it wasn't wise to dwell on this for too long.

He quickly moved on.

As his eyes continued down the system panel he saw it.

His skills.

He quickly thought, "I must have some cheat skills right".

Liam was very familiar with this, considering the amount of time he spent reading novels.

His eyes quickly scanned the skill panel, barely containing his excitement.

[Skills: Base Creation, Ai Transfer] 

"What?", He said to himself.

Liam didn't know how to react to this information.

Despite the many novels he has read he has never seen these 2 skills.

Just as he was speculating on what these skills could do, he heard another notification.

[Base Creation]

- Due to the system incompatibility with the hosts body, The system needs to be transferred to a inanimate object. If the host doesn't find this medium and transfer the system he will instantly die along with the system -EVOLVABLE-

[Time Remaining: 12Hours]

His eyes continued moving down.

[AI Transfer]

- You are able to transfer the systems artificial intelligence into any of your compatible creations.-

Liam was shocked.

Where did these descriptions come from, is it because he was thinking about what the descriptions would be?

He quickly dismissed this thought.

After all there was something far more important.

Liam rubbed his eyes to make sure he was seeing correctly.

[Time Remaining: 12Hours]

He knew this time limit wasn't just for looks.

If he didn't transfer the system he would die.

Liam who has experienced death once, would do anything to avoid it again.

Just as he was about to look away he saw something else.

-EVOLVABLE-

Evolvable?

"What does that mean", Liam said to himself

He then remembered the time limit.

"I don't have time to speculate", he said.

Survival comes first.

He quickly closed the system panel and checked his surroundings once more.

This only reinforced the idea that this was not Earth.

But something was off.

It was way too quiet.

There was no bird chirps.

No wind.

There was no sound at all.

This sudden silence was interrupted by the sound of flowing water.

The sound came from behind Michael.

He quickly started making his way towards this water, still remaining cautious.

then he saw it.

It was a river that was much larger than any river Liam has seen in his lifetime.

Once again, he knew this wasn't earth.

Barely visible through the thick fog, on the other side of this body of water, he could see something.

It looked like some sort of town.

Liam was relieved.

"Seems like its not just me", Liam said to himself.

This discovery gave Liam a goal.

He has to cross this water and enter that town.

Then maybe he would get some answers.

He was quickly brought back to reality.

Liam was never outstanding at physical activity.

His stats reflected this.

Liam couldn't swim across the water no matter how hard he tried.

He knew this.

He had to think of another way to get across.

The only idea that crossed his mind was that he needed some type of boat.

Liam dismissed this thought as well.

"I couldn't build a boat if you gave me 100 years", He thought.

Liam was having quite the dilemma.

Just as he looked down in defeat he saw something.

He saw himself, staring through the reflection in the water.

He saw his brown hair, deep green eyes, and the same face that looks at him every morning in the mirror.

Liam was a pretty good looking guy, he couldn't deny that.

He was relieved that he keep his appearance even after death.

"Maybe I'm not the only one on earth that experienced this, I might even get recognized", he thought.

This was one of the first good things that has happened since his sudden death.

Just as Liam was starting to focus harder on his reflection, The water started moving.

It slowly started to ripple out in a circular pattern right were his reflection was.

His reflection was starting to get distorted beyond recognition.

Then Liam's instincts screamed at him.

"RUN"

Liam instantly jumped back and fell on his butt.

Then something jumped out of the water.

Liam, currently in shock, couldn't completely analyze this creature but it was very similar to a shark on Earth.

Although it was triple the size of your average shark.

Then something else flew out of the water.

It was a tentacle.

Not a normal tentacle.

The thickness of this tentacle was around the same as a car on Earth.

Liam once again entered a state of shock.

He watched as the tentacle quickly wrapped around the sharks whole entire body, his eyes almost couldn't keep up.

Then, not even a second later.

The shark was gone, pulled into the water.

Liam waited around 5 seconds.

But nothing happened.

Liam who has now regained his thoughts had only one thing in his mind.

"What?"

His body instantly started moving as he crawled away from the water.

He turned around and ran at full speed, not even daring to glance back.

His mind was racing.

"WHAT WAS THAT?".

"RUN".

"AM I GOING TO DIE AGAIN".

Liam could not think straight but he knew what he had to do.

Run

Run as far away from that monster as he could.
