Chapter 6

• Chapter Six
• Rick cannot help but reason with the System at this stage, he also believed that the road to glory is never a bed of rose, you did not compete with competitor in the game alone, you compete with a lot of depression, decisions, fake news, wrong information, friends and peers, enemies tying to bring you down, emotions, even social groups.
• And that is the least of all, on the way to victory, you will have to neglect a lot of things just to show you are mature and emotionally stable, because at time you will be cheated of what should be rightfully yours. But you just have to let go, it is the ultimate prize that matters at the end
• “That makes sense, I guess you are really going to make me the best.” Rick cannot help but nod his head agreement with the system, he turned around and placed his feet on the floor.
• He said again. “How long do I have?”
• [The daily quest refresh everyday at every 0000hr, and this almost 1200hr, hence you have just 12 hour before today run out.]
• Rick forced himself to stood up, he support himself with the bed and try to walk, it was so difficult for him, he cannot help but call for his mother and off course Theresa came running found Rick standing alone in his room.
• “Are you that eager too get back on the field?” Theresa asked
• “Mom, I am more than eager, hence get ready to accompany me everyday.” Rick said.
• “Alright, what do you want to do?”
• “I am going for brisk walking for five miles and I want you to support me anytime I am tired, and I will give to you a note, I want you to prepare the ingredient for me as meal from tonight henceforth.”
• “Alright, seems we have to employ someone to accompany you for the time being then.” Theresa said and Rick cannot help but smile, he trusts his mother that she will always overreact when it comes to him, well it is a good thing anyway, at least he could have someone to always support him.
• “And Mom, make the support to be a young girl just around my age, and beautiful too.” Rick said.
• “Are you auditioning for a girlfriend or you are looking a personal trainer and chef.” Theresa asked with her nose raised up in the air in contempt
• “Close to it, it will be best if she is physically fit, a long hair and also a blonde too, and it will be best if she is an African.” Rick said to his mother
• “I think you wanted to create a new species of human, because I think your criteria is bit out of hand, where have you seen a blonde African girl who is around 16 and 17, and she is a chef and also a trainer.” Theresa tone was high and it got Rick to burst to a round of laughter
• Off course Rick and his mother were already outside the house it was already the midday and the sun was high in the sky, but this is the winter in Shire Country, and the sun is covered by the cloud, hence the day is cool and not that hot, hence it is so easy for Rick and his mother to walk from their house towards the roads.
• Meanwhile the progress of the daily quest was display on the green panel in Rick mind, already he was on 10% progress, he was feeling tiredness but the more he progress the more he felt a new kind of energy from inside his body, it is like he was thirst and water quench the thirst at the right time enough to continue for some times before the thirst came again.
• Off course together with his mother, he did not felt so tired, it is because the exchange of words with his mother came at the right time, and because he really needed to walk, his mother then suggested they trek all the way to the store to do some shopping at least with his diet now changed. Just that at some point he began to felt the strain in his body, he began to felt the impact of the exercise on his body, but he did not stopped, he pulled himself to forge ahead, his mother noticed that he is tired and suggested taking a taxi, but Rick refused, he rest for sometimes and continued again together with his mother and before Rick knew it, he had actually covered more than five miles to the supermarket.
• Once he make it to the supermarket, he was tired that he crash down on the seat close to him, his mother wanted to help. But Rick only asked his mother to proceed for the shopping. It is because he already heard the notification of the completion of the dailty quest

• “Whew that was intense.” Rick said in his mind, easily for him, he could now communicate with the system in his mind.
• [How does the Host feel in his body?]
• “I felt so refresh a bit, the exercise was intense, but it did gives a bit changes in my body”
• [I told the host that this are just basic that your body can take for now]
• “I have a question about the merit point, what is the importance?” Rick asked as he was staring at the merit point that was 5.
• [The merit point is a bonus exponential for the host, you can reserve it and add it to every Physical Stats when the Host felt that one is lacking behind.]
• “Oh! I see, seems the system is hell bent on making me the best in the world.” Rick said.
• [The system is always at the Host disposal, but everything depend on the Host determination to be the best.]
• “Well I am read, and I have never been this ready in my entire life, I just hope the system is ready to keep up with my progress.” Rick said to himself, but to that question he had no reply from the system. Well Rick does not mind too, he find his phone and he began to surf the web, message from his friends and buddies in the club were ringing on the phone, they all sympathizes with him on his accident, they all wish him quick recovery very soon.
• Even Manager Amblin sent him message specially, the fifty years old man did dislike him on the field due to his losing form on the field, but outside the field, the man still treated him as a son
• Rick laughed to himself and put down his phone, his mother as well was out of the supermarket, they both board a taxi and they head back home, off course immediately they made it back home, Theresa head to the kitchen to prepare meal for Rick, while Rick sat down in the sitting room and tune to a football channel, luckily there was live match on going, Rick settle to watch the match.
• Almost two hours later, Rick settled down to eat, his mother set the table and he ate everything, the same time his father also came back home, the duo merely gaze at one another without uttering any words, but the eye contact is more than a ten hour talk between father and son, Theresa followed her husband to the bedroom, and Rick does not bother with them, he had his own future to look towards and he is going to walk towards that to his very best.
• After the meal, Rick walked to the inner courtyard, he opened the door he enter into his personal gym, lying everywhere were his personal training equipment, just as he place his hand on the windmill, he heard the notification from the System.
