No Rest For The Wicked.

I just layed there the whole night, Looking at the celing. I heard my parents go out of the house. I knew that i couldn't do anything to save them. Even if the events played out differently, in every scenario the probability of their survival was 0.

" You knew this was going to happen didn't you? "

I spoke to him without moving my eyes from the ceiling.

" That's why you gave me this quest on such a short time notice. "

* I DID *

" Then why? Why did you tell me of their demise when you knew i wouldn't be able to do anything to help them? " I asked not because i was angry at him but for wanting to know his motivations for telling me.

In this state of calm i didn't dwell or mope. While yes i was sad even extremely so, i was quickly turning that emotion into determination to hunt these bastards down.

* WHILE I WOULD ENJOY TELLING YOU IT WAS FOR MY FUN AND WATCH YOU SEETH AND RAGE AT ME, UNFORTUNATELY IT WASN'T. THE DEATH OF YOUR PARENTS OR RATHER PETER PARKER'S PARENTS WAS A NEXUS EVENT. YOU BREAK THOSE YOU BREAK YOUR UNIVERSE INTO PIECES.

THAT'S WHY THE SHORT TIME LIMIT SO THAT YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING THAT DUMB WITHOUT THE POWER TO REVERSE IT. AS FOR WHY I TOLD YOU?

IT WAS A TEST. *

" Give me a break ! You wanting to test out my morality by letting me know that my parents are going to die and i won't be able to do anything about it. That's a fucking shitty lie that i could spot even without the help of my skills. So are you going to tell me the truth or not? " I wasn't demanding anything of him because i knew he would tell me if he wanted to and won't if he didn't. Their was no reason to strain my relationship with him.

* HAHA MORALITY WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? CAN YOU EAT IT? KID I WAS TESTING THAT SKILL OF YOURS WHY THE HELL WOULD I CARE IF YOU BECAME A MASS MURDER OR A NURSE FOR AN OLD PERSON? IF I DON'T GET MY ENTERTAINMENT YOUR SOUL IS MINE TO DO AS I PLEASE. *

I ignored his comment and focused on the information instead, The skills that came from a higher being, so he wasn't the higher being that gave me these skills after all. Hmm curious-curious lets do a test.

" I thought you were the one who gave me these skills, Why do you need to test them then? "

* WHILE YES I DID GIVE YOU OBSERVE, MINOR HEALING FACTOR AND ADAPTABILITY THE REST DIDN'T COME FROM ME. SPECIFICALLY THAT BASTARDIZED OMNISCIENCE.*

While my simple test of lying and getting more information worked, i had some ideas of where all my skills came from , And he probably did too.

I was satisfied with the information i had gotten from him but one last key piece of information remained that i wanted to ask.

" Hey, is it possible in this world to revive the dead, and not cause the universe to break? " I knew that it was not a good decision knowing my parents morals but i didn't care. I wanted my parents back and i will get them back one way or the other.

* HO, SO YOU WANT TO REVIVE THEM AFTER THEIR DEATH HUH. HAHA THAT WILL BE SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH. YES KID THEIR ARE PLETHORA OF WAYS TO REVIVE SOMEONE , WELL I GOTTA GO HAVE FUN KID *

After the conversation i still laid there without moving a muscle and deviced a new plan in accordance with the new information.

' Who the fuck says have fun to a kid who just lost their parents huh!? ' As i said that l, i closed my eyes for a couple of seconds.

I then sat up on the side of the bed and opened my eyes. I had a plan, I had an objective and i had some fuckers to kill.

It was probably close to 5 A.M right now.

As i couldn't fall asleep anymore, so i got off the bed and stated doing push-ups first.

I was able to do 2 sets of 10s for both sit-ups and push-ups. As the skills adaptability and calm mind were still going due to my emotions still not calming down, I was able to fully the potential of every single muscle in my body while exercising.

my body was dead tired both physically and mentally so i climbed into my bed and laid down while calling out to the system.

Some of the things i noticed far quickly than others, I had two items in my now new inventory tab.

My " Bastardized Omniscience " was locked.

And Tomorrow i had to find a way to slip past ben and may to go for a run.

Before i opened any of the things in my inventory, i had to make sure they don't just fall out. As it would be hard to hide it depending on what came out.

I picked up empty bottle of water and thought of sending it to Inventory and it vanished from my hand. As i looked back at the screen it now showed another icon of a water bottle besides a brown pack and a golden ticket.

As i thought of bringing out the bottle, It landed right in my hand.

' Hm, I wonder if i could..'

As i experimented with the inventory i came to a conclusion that it being a pocket dimension as i had hypothesized would be able to store any and everything but i was wrong. It could only store non living materials upto 50 items and the item had to be in physical contact with me to be stored. I could quick equip my clothes and stack similar items upto 99 but unique items took their own slot as a whole.

Now I knew that whatever came out of the ticket and pack would stay in my inventory so i started to open them.

' System Open the Starter Pack. '

* Host has used the item "Starter Pack".*

* Items "1 × Fist Aid Kit" "1× $250" "1× Random skill token" have been sloted into the inventory.*

' Money is always useful, I can order some chemicals and get some equipment to test out my Crafting skill. I can leave the First aid kit in the inventory for emergency after i check it for any useful drugs. And i can always use some extra skills that will come in handy. ' I thought as i look towards the now again two mystery items.

' System , Use the random skill token '

*Host has used the item "Random Skill Token".*

*Skill [Create Water] has been added to Host's skill list.*

' System do you have a discription of this skill? ' I asked the system as this skill could be the most versatile skill i have till now if used properly.

*Create Water : When in use this skill can gather water vapour from surrounding to condense it into its liquid form. *

' Humm, I can think of a few uses for that. And i will never get dehydrated ever. Ok system last one. Use the lottery ticket. '

*Host has used the item "Weekly Lottery Ticket".*

* Item "All flavour Jellybeans" has been sloted into the inventory.*

' Oh, well too bad i thought i would get something awesome. System give me a description on this item ' I said to the system as i yawn.

* All flavour Jellybeans : It is a sweet snack that has over 23 million flavours excluding combinations randomly packed together. Every single one has a unique pisonic name attached to it for identifying the flavor. Quantity : 50 pieces. *

' Pisonic? does that mean a telepathic name. That's ingenious! , I wonder if i can replicate this using my Crafting skill. ' I slowly started to fall asleep but as soon as i relaxed the skills became deactivated and i started to feel guilt, sadness and anger all at once.

And the skills activated again. I sigh knowing full well i wouldn't be able to sleep now so i just grabbed the book mom was reading me and continued from where we left of.
