Chapter 2 - Will

[ 100% …..Ding, congratulations, host! The intelligence system is installed]

[ The host will receive 3 pieces of information from the system every day…

The more intelligence information obtained, the higher the intelligence level will be.

The host must complete 20 pieces of intelligence information to upgrade the system.

Advanced information can only be explored by the host as their intelligence level increases, so the quality of the intelligence information will also improve.]

[As a beginner's reward, the intelligence system will award the host a beginner's reward and 3 pieces of intelligence information.]

[Ding… Beginner's reward distribution.]

[Ding… Congratulations on getting a 10 m³ portable space.]

[Ding… Congratulations on getting 1 health pill.]

[Ding… Today's intelligence information distribution.]

[Ding… There's a hidden box in the host's house, in the kitchen area under the dining table, containing a valuable item left behind by the host's parents.]

[Ding… There's a worn wallet buried in a pile of trash in the village garbage dump, containing US dollars in ten-dollar bills.]

[Ding… There's an accident on the road from the host's house, about 50 meters away, caused by a collision between two automatic motorcycles. This caused traffic jams and impassable traffic for the next hour. The accident occurred at 9:15 a.m.]

Then the system stopped beeping.

Jay, who experienced this, was shocked and froze in his chair for a moment. He couldn't believe that the system that only existed in fantasy stories had now appeared before him.

"System???" Jay, doubtful, then asked about the system's existence in a soft voice.

[The host can contact the system in his mind, for security reasons, please remember!!] The system's voice replied.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...this is really happening!!!!" Jay screamed in his heart. He never thought he would get a system.

"Great...now let's see the rewards the system has given!!" Jay then began to examine the gifts the system had given him.

The first was a 10 m³ space, which, as he had imagined, was hidden in a different dimension and could store any type of inanimate object as long as its weight and size were within the space's limits.

Then Jay checked the health pill, and from the description he received, he learned that the health pill had a function.

[The health pill, capable of making the host's body as healthy as a youth, free from disease and injury, all of which will be cured by the health pill.] The system explained the function of the health pill to Jay.

"System, take out the health pill." Jay asked the system to take out the health pill he had received. He wanted to see what it looked like.

Soon, a clean, white pill emitting a fragrant aroma appeared in Jay's right palm.

From the soft, fragrant aroma, Jay could imagine its extraordinary properties.

"Are there any side effects from taking this health pill?" Jay asked the system again.

"And how does this health pill work?" Jay asked again, doubtfully.

Because from what he had read, this health pill was very It was similar to the pills found in many fantasy stories, and there was a possibility that after taking it, his body would experience changes such as excretion or other things. So, to prevent that, Jay asked.

He thought that he had just finished bathing and didn't want to have to take another bath after taking this pill. Although he didn't mind, Jay still wanted to avoid getting dirty if he had the choice.

[There won't be any overreactions to the host's body. The pill will work like a regular vitamin, and any harmful substances in the host's body will be naturally excreted through urine when the time comes.] The system assured Jay the safety of taking the health pill.

"Okay, then let's take it." Jay decided to take the health pill. Soon, he felt nothing, just as the system had said, like taking a health vitamin. He only felt a sweet and refreshing taste when he took the pill.

There wasn't any orange or strawberry flavor like regular vitamins.

After feeling healthier and fitter, Jay decided to ask about his status, "My status display system."

[Status

Name: Jay William

Age: 30 Year

Height 175 cm

Strength: 10 + 2 (normal adult 10)

Agility: 8 + 3 (normal 10)

Intelligence: 12 + 3 (normal 10)

Luck: 5 + 2 (normal 5)

Property: 10 m³ of space + 150 m² of house and land + $7.40 + 8-year-old 125cc automatic motorcycle

Seeing the numbers on his status, Jay realized that a change had apparently occurred, especially with the additional points in strength, agility, intelligence, and luck.

A 2-3 point increase in points.

Seeing this, Jay realized that this might be an effect of taking the health pill.

"Is that increased number system the result of taking the health pill?" Jay asked, curious.

[Yes] the system answered briefly, without further explanation.

"Okay, next, let's look at the intelligence I obtained today... starting with...

A few moments later, in Jay's kitchen, under the dining table, Jay, curious about the information about the system, began searching for a hidden box under the dining table.

Jay's family's dining table, which was in front of him, had a covered area underneath that could be used to store items.

However, because it was covered by the long table top, the area underneath the dining table wasn't very visible, and Jay, who had lived in his house for years, never expected there to be something under his dining table.

So, after removing the tablecloth and squatting under the dining table, Jay began feeling around.

Finally, he found a small bulge inside the dining table, facing the wall.

Moving the table to make it easier to see, Jay realized there was a secret compartment about 30 cm wide under the dining table.

When Jay opened it, a medium-sized wooden box, about 20-30 cm long, appeared in front of him.

There was dust on the box. That suggested the box hadn't been touched in a long time.

Carrying it to the coffee table, a curious Jay discovered that the box looked like it was a beautiful size, but it had a padlock guarding the inside.

Seeing this, Jay frowned and tried to think of a key that might open the box, but after a moment's thought, he couldn't recall any that fit the strange padlock.

So, Jay simply took a hammer to pry it open. Finally, after a few hard knocks, the padlock broke and the box opened.

"What's inside?" Curious, Jay looked inside the box and found several items inside.

There were several stacks of dollar bills neatly arranged, along with a ring and a gold necklace with a red gemstone in the center, and a yellowed letter.

Taking the letter, Jay recognized the handwriting, and after confirming it was his father's, he began to read the contents.

"Jay and Angel, my beloved children, if one day you find this box and read the letter inside, then Mom and Dad can only say that fate has come to take you." Your old age.

Don't be sad about that fact, but be happy because this is the end the Universe has planned for both of us.

We only hope that you will mature well and have a happy future. Don't go down the wrong path, and remember Mom and Dad's words.

Hopefully, this small amount of savings can help you during difficult times, and this necklace and ring will be inherited by both of you, with the ring going to Jay and the necklace going to Angel.

Well, there's not much Mom and Dad can say, because I don't think anyone wants to write a will like this, but please remember to always be optimistic in life and enjoy this life to the fullest.

Finally, don't trust anyone too much when you're up, and don't be easily persuaded when you're down. Trust the whispers of your heart, because that might be the best and most appropriate answer for you. Love and longing from your Mom and Dad to my beloved children, Jay and Angel.

"Tess...test...tears wet the letter."

Jay cried, his voice choked. He never thought his parents' will would be found so many years after they were gone.

But thinking back on the painful memories of those years ago, Jay felt sad and afraid.
