1 Oneshot

On a cold morning, I cycled to deliver newspapers to the residential area, accompanied by the sound of birds and crickets that had already awoken.

"Hi, uncle. Hi, aunty,"

"Oh, hi Nathan, still full of spirit as usual when delivering the newspaper,"

Although still early, many people are waking up in this residential area. The elderly have walked and jogging alongside the road and the children are getting ready for school.

Every morning I greet familiar people when I was delivering the newspaper, well I familiar with most people here and was known by others as being quite friendly.

Although I was never short of money I still tried to work odd jobs. Besides getting extra money, I also try to maintain my stamina and strength.

After I finished delivering the newspaper I went back and took cold water bath to get rid of my sweat and eat to replenish my energy.

"Huff, full time, it's time to take a break after cleaning this cutlery,"

I finally cleaning the place to eat and washing dishes, it has become a habit for me not to leave something messy.

After finished cleaning everything I surf the internet. Even though my house is in the suburbs of the city I installing both internet networks and cable tv, but I prefer to find information on internet forums rather than watching television.

While surfing I had a lot of arguments with anonymous people, mostly about the little things that if we quarreled about it in the real world people would stare at us like some crazy person.

[Devilman: Oh yeah have you seen a crazy forum about someone finds gold sheets with weird writing in the ruins?]

…

[Groots: Isn't that just a lie? even the letter alone is very cryptic]

[Devilman: I'm also skeptical about that thing, but the founder of that ruin is the famous archeologist, Ford. After they examine the book with carbon decay or something, it is said that book is over 3000 years old]

[Stargirl: Is that mean the book is definitely authentic?]

[CuteGorilla: Well, if that's true this is the oldest book I've ever known]

[Devilman: Yeah, but there's a chance it's just a joke of an ancient creature]

[StarGirl: We are too fast 6000 years to find the book]

[Devilman: What do you mean?]

[StarGirl: Well, I just want to try to say "It's over 9000!!!"]

[Devilman: ... (╬ಠ 益 ಠ)]

[CuteGorilla: ... ಠ_ಠ]

[NeverLetYouGo: What book do you mean Devilman?]

[Devilman: Okay, I'll try to send you the link]

I open the link sent by Devilman and look at the photo of the gold sheets. strange letters filled the sheets, which I had never seen before.

'There are many strange things in this world'

The researchers don't know how to interpret the letters, especially with the many letters has lost that make research stopped. They can only deduce the origin of the sheet and how old it is.

I was curious about the sheets and I opened one by one the photos on the link. Once I read the last sheet, I felt a stinging pain in my head made me want to fall asleep.

'Looks like I've been surfing the internet for too long'

I also took the headache medicine and tried to sleep, I did not feel my eyelids getting heavy and soon I fell asleep.

[Initialize system]

[0% ... 1%]

[99% ... 100%]

[Initialization finished]

[Welcome to the system]

[Skill Gained: Time Control]

===

I opened my eyes slowly, it was late afternoon, I saw in front of my eyes there are two lines of sentence floating in the air. When I woke the two sentences remained in front of my eyes.

'Is this a system they often use as a story plot in novels?'

I tried to get rid of the sentence with my hand, but the screen did not move. I tried other hand gestures, and the screen was still silent on the spot.

Finally, I tried with my mind to get rid of the screen and it worked.

'Okay, now what'

I closed my eyes and tried to think of bringing the window to my sight.

* Ding *

After the sound of the notification, I opened my eyes and saw the system window return.

[Congratulations Nathan, you've been chosen to inherit the power of the system]

[Do you want to see your status?]

[Yes / No]

I tried to tap Yes but nothing happened.

'I'm stupid, this system uses my thought as its input', I closed my eyes one more time and tried to think about Yes.

* Ding *

After I heard the sound I tried to see the windows system in front of me.

[Name: Nathan Gibson

Age : 17 years

Element: Time (Mythic)

Level: Colorless

Strength: 11

Dexterity: 9

Stamina: 10

Intelligence: 18

Wisdom: 20]

I see the status stunned, especially when I see the element column there is one word that makes all gamers happy for weeks, Mythic. A level above everything, even above the legendary for most games. Moreover, the type of element is time, it is the most OP capabilities in every novel story and usually only used by the final boss.

I tried to bring up the skill window he had without closing his eyes

* Ding *

[Skill: Time Control (0%)]

'It worked, so I did not have to close my eyes to show the windows system. I need to try to use this skill to make sure it's not my hallucination'

'Time Control' He tried to focus his mind on using the skill.

In the room is silent no change whatsoever.

'Hmm, wait a minute'

I look toward the clocks that do not move at all. The clocks are new so implausible it's broken. After all, if the clocks are broken it isn't possible to happen to all the clocks at this time.

After I finished observing the situation I tried to control other things, like dropping water and doing other experiments. I knew I could even slow down and speed up the time, what more amazing is I could rewind time. What a very OP power indeed.

* Ding *

After a long experiment with my new power, there was a new notification from the system. I tried to see what new message there is.

[Proficiency of Time Control has reached maximum]

'What, so fast'

[Skill Gained: Time Travel]

"Wait a minute, is time travel even possible?"

[Yes]

"Wait, you can answer my question?"

[Yes]

"Why did not you say that?"

[You never ask]

"...", I can only be silent to see the answer from the system.

"Well, I do not want to be too deep about timey wimey stuff. Is there no danger when I do time travel, like Paradox or maybe if I go to the past or future, am I will be in outer space? considering the earth is in a different position,"

[There will be no problem with time travel capability]

[If anything is harmful to you in the destination, the system will create Warning sign]

"Oh yeah, what about the destination I visited? Will there be any damage there?"

[In your destination will only occur electronic interruption briefly and a small earthquake. So there won't any major damage]

"Very well then, time to experiment"

...

[Warning: Your destination is the earth's crust. Time travel skill canceled]

"Huff, how many times I failed to use this skill"

Without being felt, it's already nighttime. His head was dizzy because of too often using his skill, he showered and refreshed his head. He sits in a chair sipping warm tea getting ready for bed.

'Ah, it seems starting tomorrow I will stop working'

After he gained this power, he decided to stop working. Many adventures await him and with his power, all of that will come true. Hunting dinosaurs, met knights and kings, future robots, aliens and also stared at the destruction of the sun if possible.

With this power, he need not worry about money. If he needs some money, he can just buy a lottery ticket or maybe invest in a venture before becoming a giant company, like G**gle or *pple. With this power coupled with a little patience he even has the ability to control the entire world economy.

'With this power, I can even form history as I wish. If I want to wreck the world, I can make repeated Chernobyl incidents in many places or maybe make the Hitler win in World War 2, it's all easy. But if I want world peace, I can kill the greatest dictators in history before they grow up, stop the stupid decision makers among the military top brass. Or maybe just conquer the entire world for myself and If I fail, I can repeat it over and over until I get the results I want.'

'Wait a minute, if I can control the world economy with this power. There may be people with the same ability trying to control the world right now. Heck, maybe even now this world has already controlled without being noticed '

Realizing the dreadful possibilities of this power, he tried to organize his thoughts.

'But how do I know who the owner of that power is?'

'...'

'Ah, that's easy. I just need to visit the future and see who is the most influential there. After determining who he is and whether he has the same power as mine, I will kill him when he has not comprehended his ability. Problem solved'

Deep during the thought, not knowing the time passes and it's already 11 o'clock. The dogs howled to make the atmosphere even more creepy.

'It's time for me to sleep'

When he wanted to get up from his chair suddenly all the lights of his house died and not long after the electricity house flowed again.

A few seconds after the light's on there was a small earthquake around his house, and the back door of his house squeaked.

There was a cold wind blowing his neck and nape hair on his neck stood up. When he wanted to turn around the sound of footsteps behind him.

* click *

There was a gun behind him ready to shoot

"Goodbye, Nathan the Tyrant"
