After he was done unpacking, he sat down on the edge of his bed and called out the system interface.

Jacob was confused about everything. 'This system keeps doing whatever it likes, ' Jacob thought as the system interface changed its characters once again, this time displaying host attributes.

As Jacob focused on the new weapon panel, the system interface changed once again but this time displaying something a lot more different and new.

This time, a myriad of otherworldly weapons materialized before him, each distinct from the next, casting a bewitching glow that danced in the dimly lit chamber.

Guns of ethereal craftsmanship stood tall alongside swords forged from starlight, their celestial blades shimmering with arcane energy. Bombs, resembling orbs of swirling elemental power, exuded an aura of raw destruction that both intrigued and unsettled him.

Yet, what truly captured his attention were the subtle tags that floated beneath each weapon.

Each tag bore the title 'Weapon crystal' with different numbers of crystals written by its side.

"This is exactly like those games, but here instead of using money to buy the weapons, I use beast crystal. At least I know that I can have access to these advanced weapons."

Jacob didn't think twice as he swallowed the crystals, it went down well like it was some sort of supplement.

"This is great, I thought it would be difficult."

"Argh!" A searing agony coursed through Jacob's veins, writhing like serpents as it consumed his entire being. With a jolt, he collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing in torment.

The world swam before him as if seen through a veil of uncertainty. Shadows danced and played with the light, blurring the edges of his vision. But slowly, as clarity regained its foothold, he could make out the familiar shapes and contours of his surroundings.

He lay on the ground, the earth cool against his skin, offering solace amidst his torment.

Drawing upon the reserves of his resilience, he summoned the strength to push himself upright.

"I knew something like this was not going to be easy," Jacob said as he stood up.

Just as the was busy with the system, two other male students walked into the room.

-"Hey! I'm Adam."

-"And I'm Ray, we are your new roommates." the two students introduced their selves.

"Hi! I'm Ja...." Before Jacob could complete his statement, he was interrupted by Adam.

-"Jacob, you are Jacob, we've heard a lot about you, and I particularly was very pleased when I found out I was your roommate."

-"I must say, you are already so popular on the first day of school, let's see what happens when you last a month," Ray added.

The room was quiet for a moment as the three of them gave weird stares to each other, Adam and Ray burst into laughter.

-"Oh! Jacob that was just a joke, nice to meet you," Adam said.

"Same here," Jacob replied.

The two boys laughed as they went to their beds and started unpacking their things.

******************

Deep within the hallowed halls of the school, concealed within its labyrinthine corridors, lay a hidden chamber cloaked in shadows.

A lone figure emerged from the depths of the school, clutching a gleaming laptop in his hands. His steps were purposeful, his heart thrumming with a blend of trepidation and curiosity. With each stride, he drew closer to the hidden chamber.

As the man pushed open the heavy door, creaking hinges announced his arrival, disturbing the hushed tranquility that had lingered within.

The room revealed itself in a dim glow, illuminated only by a flickering candle perched on a nearby table. Shadows danced upon the walls, their ethereal movements casting an otherworldly ambiance.

Approaching the table, the man hesitated, sensing a presence lurking in the inky darkness beyond. He observed the figure seated behind the table, clad in an impeccably tailored black suit that melded seamlessly with the obsidian shroud. His face remained obscured, swallowed by the inky veil, leaving only an enigmatic silhouette in its wake.

"Sir," the man with the laptop spoke, his voice infused with a mixture of respect and trepidation. "I have come as you requested, drawn by the whispers that echo through these halls.

The figure in the black suit remained motionless, a master of intrigue. Slowly, a slender hand emerged from the darkness, beckoning the man closer. A hushed whisper escaped the depths of the hidden figure's concealed countenance.

" Where is the list of students that passed our secret test," the mysterious figure intoned, his voice resonating with a potent blend of wisdom and authority.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, the man with the laptop stepped forward, extending the device toward the shadowed enigma.

As the laptop's screen illuminated the room, casting an ethereal glow upon the hidden face.

On the laptop were the photos of five students, three male and two female underneath their photos, their name was written.

"Only these five had the courage and strength you seek," the man with the laptop added.

"there was something different about this one his strength and fighting techniques were out of this world, I think he is the one, " he said as he pointed to one of the male photos on the laptop's screen and underneath the photo, the name Jacob Fransic displayed.

"Hmm! I see, you know what to do right? Keep an eye on them, we don't want anything to happen to them, Ok! The figure in the dark said.

"In six months we shall start what we came here for, let them train for now," he added.

"Ok, sir! I shall take your leave, see you soon I will keep you updated," the man with the laptop said as he left the chamber.
