Akira trudged through his day at work, his mind preoccupied with the strange occurrences that had plaguing him. He felt like he was being watched, and the energy he felt inside him began to grow day by day.
As soon as he walked to his apartment, he collapsed onto the couch, exhausted. A soft computerized voice spoke.
[ System update: 100%, System ready].
Akira's eyes widened as he looked around, wondering where the voice was coming from.
" Who are you ? " He asked aloud.
There was no response, but the voice continued to speak to him, providing him with information about the device and its capabilities.
[ Welcome master of the system]
" Who the hell are you ? " he said with pure rage and fear
[ I am the arkive ]
"Arkive what is that ? , what kind of prank is this" he said.
[ in this world it i may be translated as the circuit system]
"Circuit system" , he wondered it seemed real and not like a prank or joke at all.
"This world, what is that supposed to mean, what the hell, what are you really "
"What is the circuit system" ,
[ I am the circuit system, a system designed to protect its master]
[ You are the only compatible human I have found to wield me ]
[You and I have a symbolic connection now, I have fused to your heart without any complications]
" fused to my heart ?" "symbolic connection ?"
" I still don't understand, you mentioned coming from another world"
[Correct, I come from another world, I was designed to protect my successor]
[My master]
"So that must mean aliens are real"
"This is a lot to process"
[I have a solution to your problem]

"pocket dimension, what is that"
suddenly the room around him began to blur. Akira himself being pulled through space, he was transported to a strange pocket dimension.
He stumbled forward his eyes adjusting to the dim light. The air was thick with an otherworldly energy, Akira could feel the power coursing through his veins.
[welcome to the pocket dimension master ]
Akira tried to comprehend the situation. What did this figure mean ?
What did this figure mean a this mean ? And what was the purpose that was the purpose that he had been chosen for ? .
Akira felt a sense of trepidation unsure of what to expect.
Akira's eyes widened, he observed the dimension he was thrown in

"Ok I understand, I think, so what sis this place ?"
[This is the pocket dimension]
"pocket dimension ?"
[ you have reached the time limit to stay in the pocket dimension]
" Time limit"
All that was seen was a sudden mist of darkness which spread through out the room, later on Akira woke up only to find himself on his couch.
He stood up his legs feeling a bit shaky. He needed to get a grip, Akira walked over to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water, trying to clear his head.
As he looked at his reflection in the mirror, he noticed something strange. His eyes seemed... different. They had a faint glow to them the red glow seemed to be growing brighter by second.
Akira's heart skipped a beat as he realized the system was changing him. He was becoming something more than a human.
The voice in his head spoke to him again.
[ system update started : Host is adapting to the system requirement ]
[ New skill unlocked : Far sight ]
[ New skill unlocked : Dash ]
"System update" , Akira's mind reeled as he tried to comprehend the implications. What kind of updates, and wat did those updates mean.
Akira stood there in his living room, his heart pounding in his chest. He had to learn more about the systems capabilities.
Akira sat down at his computer, Then a single message appeared on the screen :
" We've been watching you Akira ", Akira's eyes widened, his eyes locked into the words, his mind racing with questions. Who was behind the message ? And what did they want from him ?
The mystery deepened, and Akira knew he had to find answers. But as he sat there, staring at the screen, he couldn't shake off the feeing that he was being watched.
Akira's mind, who was behind the messages, A response to the previous message came almost immediately.
" Meet us at the old clock tower at midnight, come alone "
Akira's heart skipped a beat as he read the message. The old clock tower was a abandoned building on the outskirts of Town. It was a place where people avoided going, especially at night.
Akira was curious, he knew that this had to do with the strange occurrences happening around him. He decided to go to the meeting point. His anxiety grew, What would he find at the clock tower ? , Would he be walking into a trap ?
As the hours ticked by, At midnight, Akira made his was to the clock tower, his heart pounding in his chest. The building's dark silhouette seeming to stretch out like skeletal fingers.
Akira took a deep breath and stepped inside. The air was decaying, and the only sound was the creaking of old wooden floorboards beneath his feet.
As he walked deeper into the building, he saw a figure waiting for him in the shadows. The figure stepped forward, revealing a woman with piercing green eyes and long brown curly hair.
" Who are you" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.
The woman smiled, her eyes sparkling in the dim light.
" Who am I, you are asking me to reveal my identity through a name, hmm.."
" I have settled on the name, Maria" ,She said with a grin on her face
Akira narrowed his eyes, unsure what to make of Maria, friend or foe ? he knew he had to be careful, but a part of him felt like running away .
" What do u want " he said gently
" You have something that belongs to us, " She said fiercely
"And I'm here to retrieve it"
