Strange Magic.

Owen hurries to his room and takes a bath. Throwing on a causal T-shirt and some Jean before walking to te library that was on the other side of the house attached with a study. He begins to look through the books almost scaterring the arrangement of books before he finds the origin of systems causally laying on a shelf. The book had gathered dust making it obvious that it was rarely read. It only had few pages and didnt look that important. 

It looked like book on nursery rhymes and was written in english that was directed towards three year olds. 

The first chapter talked about how beasts were the first descendants in this world but for some unknown reasons, and from unknown sources, it was believed that it was humans who turned to beasts. They didnt know how it happened but people believed it. Having a lot of human turned beasts around made more natural born beasts to come to the world. The beasts dominated the world and kept the humans as slaves. One brave human drank the blood of a beast in anger while biting the beast and began to act weirdly. He had been poisoned with beast blood. But instead of letting the blood poison ruin his soul, he manipulated the blood that had traveled to his core using water from the fresh lake of Ruda, the one even the beasts dare not go near and created something that allows him power. This thing he created was made of water and would let him be able to manipulate his core to command any water element however he likes. 

He began testing it out and was then able to create a specific set of instructions for his core. He finally names it 'system' because it works in a systematic way. Step by step. 

There was also one other person who did bite a beast out of anger too but this person died and didn't survive because the persons body couldnt manipulate the poison that had found its way to the core of its body.

This person who created the system granted the system to other people and created a fluid from the lake of Ruda with his own blood. He gave it to ten of his trusted comrades and they continued to improve the system. 

After reading one chapter he closes it and places the book on the table in his study.

Owen felt satisfied with himself seeing that he had completed a mission. Feeling proud of himself, he walks out of the library. 

"Aunty Fern, do you know where my car keys are?" 

Aunty Fern who was busy with cleaning the dining replied him without looking up. "You didnt bring your car home the day before yesterday." 

He thanks her and leaves the house. He remembered that his uncles attacked him while he was about to leave the comoany. His personal assistant, Joy, should have the keys then. He took a taxi to his company and told the taxi man to hurry up knowing that a man would be waiting for him at his company. The taxi man this time was very chatty. Owem felt like he was being interviewed with the questions the man was asking him. After he noticed that Owen didnt bother replying him and only looks out the window, he finally stops. He had told his AI to leave last night and didn't know how to summon her again. Just as he was thinking of this, she appears by his side. He was surprised but quickly masks it. 

The taxi stops in front of the building his company is and he pays the man. This building has thirty floors and only ten of it is occupied at the moment. The area it was located, isnt really good and only companies that werent doing well has a space here. His company occupies the whole of the fifth floor. He received lots of weird stares from people when he got into the elevator but he didn't mind. He simply stands at a corner and lowers his head. The elevator stops for someone and a man moves beside him, his wrist touching that of Owen's. 

"I am sorry." The lanky man apologized adjusting the strap of his shoulder bag and pushing up his glasses. 

Owen was about to respond, when his system brings him a notification. 

With a bright warning red color, his system notifies. 

'Strange magic detected, please leave environment.' 

Owen furrows his brows and looks around the elevator. He turns his eyes to the lanky man beside him who gives him a shy smile. His hand touches Owen's hand again when someone moves to the back. 

The system continues to give him a warning red sign. 

'Strange magic detected. System is not strong enough to deflect it. Energy will begin to reduce.'

His AJ was no with him and had already transported herself to his floor already. Owen suddenly feels a wave of tiredness hit him and he moves away from the man standing beside him and stands between a man and woman. The woman gives him a weird look and moves to the space Owen had left . Owen quickly steps out once the elevator stops on his floor. He turns around and glances at the people who were in the elevator. Nobody stood out. Only the lanky man and a short man who was standing beside the lanky man. 

Still confused by the event, he walks away. 

Status: Amateur 

Energy: 0/200

"What?" He says in shock still staring at the screen with wide eyes. It had only warned him that energy will be reduced and he had immediately moved away from the elevator as soon as he can. Were the few seconds, he spent trying to move away, so long that it cost him all 25 of his remaining energy? He face palms himself and walks into the almost empty office environment. 

His assistant Joy was the first person he saw looking worried while talking to a group of people. His AI appears beside him and fills him in on what they had been discussing. 

"Apparently, everyone is turning in their resignation letters. All your artists want to resign. What are you goind to do young master?" 

Owen stares at his assistant that was surrounded by the small group of artist. No doubt she was trying to make them stay. 

Walking towards the room, he pushes the glass door open and informs her. "Let them leave. Process their resignation and free them of their contacts." He didnt need people who werent loyal around him. His reincarnation as made him realise he shouldnt waste too much time. He has left the attitude of hiding his feelings on earth for whomever wants to embrace it. 

His time isnt lying around prepared to be used to please other people. His life right now, is all about him.
