Chương 2: 002 - For Real?
10th August 1992
A kid laid there on the hospital bed with his eyes fluttering as if he was about too wake up.
" Go out there and make the right choices my child, right your wrongs and lead a happy life for yourself " an eerily ancient voice kept resounding in his ears before he abruptly stood up shaking off all the syringes that were connected to his body.
He looked around as if trying to take his environment in, for about a few minutes he kept on looking around with a completely confused expression that made his face look more cute that it usually was yet there was a kind of matured countenance to the same face. This place was very familiar yet it was not.
"You're up" A young doctor walked into the room asking a question that was borderline stupid.
"Yeah" he answered pushing all the intrusive thoughts into the back of his mind but he kept on staring at the young doctor in front of him feeling completely emotional it took him all the strength he could muster at that point to fight back his tears that were threatening to burst out.
Scholes noticed the strange expression on this litttle guy's face and felt completely intrigued, he felt like he was looking at an old little guy and the boy kept staring at him with some kind of genuine emotional look on his face, the kind of way you would look at your girlfriend during a reunion, his hair stood on ends he instinctively wanted to shout " look kid I don't swing that way man" but he decided to be mature about it and he took about two steps away from Martens.
Martens who was on the bed noticed the strange manner in which Scholes was looking at him and he wanted to burst into laughter but he managed to control himself while organizing and arranging his thoughts trying to figure out what has just happened to him but there was one thing he was sure of if this wasn't some kind of dream that means ivy would still be alive. Even with Scholes staring at him he couldn't resist slapping himself after which he pinched himself multiple times just to be assured that this wasn't a dream and finally his tears came rushing out.
"This is real"
" I am alive"
"Ivy is alive"
He didn't know why he was chosen amongst every other person that died that same day but he knew he was anonymous to the word "Saint" in his previous life but for whatever reason he was chosen. He knew he had gotten another chance to be a better person to himself, for his parents in heaven and most importantly to be a better brother to Ivy.
Scholes stood there looking at the different emotions running through Martens face and he was wondering if they should get a psychiatrist or a neurologist to check his brain out because he didn't understand how a 12year old kid could have this much emotional expressions running through his face he knew there was something strange about the boy.
"How's ivy" Martens asked
"She's okay kid" Scholes answered
"And about your parents.....
"I Know" Martens replied not letting him finish. He wished the God or the supernatural being that had brought him here could have taken him to the time before his parents died. He had long accepted the fact that they were dead in fact he had been living without them for many years but still being back here and knowing that they died just a few days ago is really painful more painful than he thought it would be but he had long accepted it.
"Are you Alright" Scholes asked in the usual concerned voice that Martens was used to but he got no answer from Martens who was already lost in his thoughts.
After Scholes left Martens sat up and kept thinking about what he could do next, he knew the benefits of going back in time and heck he knew he had to maximize it. He'd already forget about a lot of events from his previous life but he also remembered a lot like the stock market or the events in the sports sector.
[Ding]....
Martens looked towards the door thinking maybe he heard something but he shrugged it off...until
[The Business System is initializing].....
[System integrating 1, 2, 3.....100%]
[Host assessment taking place 1, 2, 3....100%]
[ Host too young to make full use of the system]
Martens stood stunned for a minute and couldn't help but think that the number of strange things that had happened to him today just keeps increasing he was confused and he really wanted to scream at this voice he kept hearing In his head but he held himself back not wanting to alarm the whole hospital.
"System" he said "
"which system" he asked and he was starting to think that maybe just maybe this is all a dream. He proceeded to slap himself over again thinking maybe this would help him wake up or something but he knew. He knew this all was real.
"System?" He asked
"[ Yes host]" the system answered
Martens flinched it can never feel good having a voice talking in your heard
"What is it's purpose" he thought to himself
"[ I was created to help the host become a great tycoon, one that will have his name written in the history books] the system answered
"You sound so much like a con artist" Martens said ignoring the fact that this thing could literally read his mind.
" So what are your functions" Martens continued
[ At level one the system will help the host in organizing his businesses and give relevant task to help the host in improving his conglomerate] the system answered
"Oh there are levels to the system" Martens asked puzzled, he also made a note to converse with the system through his mind from now on as it won't do him any good if he were labeled a lunatic.
" Yes Host the more you level up the more benefits you can get on the system" the system answered
" Damn this is broken" knowing the usefulness of this thing to him, he couldn't help but look up in appreciation wanting to thank the being or deity that had given this to him.
"You can assess your physical and mental stats as well as your businesses and your tasks on the system menu, access them by saying menu" the system said again interrupting whatever Martens was thinking.
"Oh Menu" Martens Said
....

Upon seeing his stats Martens was stunned "what do you mean 0.2"
"Host you're a kid" the system said with it's unemotional voice taking a jab at Martens self esteem
Martens '....'
" So where are the missions thingy you were talking about the other time" Martens asked
" Host is too young to access missions" the system said unemotionally
" Yeah that's it this system does have an attitude and it's definitely not good" Martens thought.
"Hey anybody around" Martens shouted and a young not so beautiful nurse came into the ward to attend to Martens.
" um miss can I stand up I want to see my sister" don't worry I won't disturb her I just want to see her" he thought and added
" The young nurse stared at Martens sympathetically for a bit then she sighed and helped Martens up.
She brought him to another ward in the hospital and told him not to disturb her as she is resting.
Marten went into the ward and there she was sleeping peacefully on the bed. Tears welled up in his eyes threatening to burst out and they did.
He stood there staring at her peaceful face for a while before leaving and in his mind he resolved that he was definitely going to be a better brother to this younger sister of his.
Back at his ward
Martens sat up on the bed organizing his thoughts he knew Scholes was probably looking for a way to adopt them right now. Living with Scholes till he became old enough to use the system seems to be the best option for him and his sister right now. Scholes was a good a man and he owed him a lot in his previous life but he never got to pay him back but luckily he could this time around.
.....
A week later Martens could now leave the hospital with his sister who was fine as well. Everything happened just the way it did in his previous life. He was going to rewrite a chapter in his life. He was looking forward to his future and he knew it only going to get better from here on as even without the system he could have personally become a wealthy man just based off of his knowledge of the future alone. That day he went home with Scholes to start a new chapter of his own life or rather to restart an old chapter of his own life.
