I was in a daze for a second as my whole body felt incredible, especially my legs they both felt natural and I couldn't tell which of them was my dominant foot. I stood up and jumped up and down lightly on my feet and my body felt so light, it was incredible.

Next, I watched as a dark green bottle materialised in my hands with a small C written on it. as I brought it closer to my eyes I saw small electrical currents inside it which slowly danced around in the liquid.

[ Ding C grade vitality potion ]

After receiving that notification I didn't hesitate anymore as I opened the bottle and swallowed it whole in one gulp. The green liquid smoothly went down and a warm calming sensation spread all over my body as it massaged all my muscles, ligaments and bones removing any defects that were in my body.

After a minute of this sensation, I coughed up black-coloured blood to feel refreshed and strengthened by the power of the C-grade vitality potion.

After coming out of my euphoria I finally focused on the system again wanting to see what had changed in my status.

The message ended there. The virtual screen once again became blank. But not for long. Shortly, glowing golden tab menus started populating the screen.

Rakim could instantly understand the contents of the system User-Interface after taking a single glance at it.

The User Interface was that of a mobile game that the user could use to navigate the game menus.

But Rakim was perturbed by the system's assessment of his talent. He had played football in his free time and was decent at it for someone who just walked off the street. since he was twenty years old he loved the sport but was too old to have any hope of becoming good at it. But the system was assessing his talent at Grade B.

The grading was different from Rakims expectations. So, he tapped on the 'USER STATS' button to understand why.

Another list populated the virtual page as soon as his finger left the virtual button.

[ USER STATS ]

>Physical Fitness: D+

>Football Technique: D+

>Game Intelligence: E+

->Mental Ability: S

->X-Factors:?

'I'm the man, who the man I'm the man!' got an S rank stat from the get-go, I am basically Demi god at this point. What's with that X-factor tho? I don't really want to join that show makes no sense if I'm gonna be a baller.

looking at my stats I was slightly puzzled at how I could have a B-level talent with average-level Football stats, but I'm guessing that the S-grade mentality dragged my overall rating up.

~~~

'Eva, can u show me the breakdown of my physical stats please?' I asked her wanting to understand how it was broken down.

[ USER STATS ]

>Physical Fitness (Av. Rating: D+)

Balance and Coordination: D

Speed: C+ (67)

Agility: E+ (48)

Strength: D (52)

Stamina: C (60)

~~~

Rakim did not continue to asses his stats as he felt as if it would only serve to further confuse him.

He rubbed his palms together in anticipation as he was determined to create a better life for himself.

Thus, without further delay, he clicked the Singularity Missions tab on the system interface. If the system had a method to increase his powers and help him escape captivity, it had to be through a mission. That was a no-brainer for anyone who had ever read a system-tagged novel.

The tab was already blinking with a red light showing that there was already a mission waiting for him to complete them.

~~~

Rakim's eyes widened upon seeing the system mission a sense of dread filled the pit of his stomach as he glanced at the punishment again. Since he's been through a lot in the past few hours, he was tired and spent out.

However, looking at the mission all sense of tiredness instantly vanished. He looked around himself in search of something useful in his escape.

After carefully observing his surroundings he couldn't find anything helpful, all the beds in the large room are empty and left in a messy state.

~~~

I stood up from the bed as I made my way toward the door to where I could see the late noon sun shining bright.

After stepping out of the door what greeted him was a dilapidated playground where kids of all ages from 6 to 17 could be seen playing around.

He was actually the youngest in this bath of kidnapped kids, as according to the kidnappers it's too much of a hassle to take care of children below 5 years.

Upon closer inspection of the kids, he noticed the dull eyes that had given up any thoughts of resistance. All the Children who were in this camp slowly but surely developed a cruel side as the kidnappers encouraged infighting between them by limiting the amount of food they get.

~~~

I looked around the playground for a while until I spotted him sitting leisurely on the swings surrounded by his own little clique.

The boy's name is Finn and he is around 17 years old, he has quite a tall stature at 1.90m and he has a well-defined physic. You might be wondering how he's able to be so well off when we are all in the same camp, well it's actually simple, he's not really a captive here.

Although he hangs around with the bullies of the bunch he is kind to everyone and acts as an older brother figure you can confide in. Finn is the son of the gang leader of the people that have captured us. Well to everyone else he's just some other unfortunate child that got caught by the kidnappers just like us.

But In reality, he's just here to make sure we don't get any funny ideas such as escaping or contacting authority that hasn't been bought off. I learned this the hard way in my past life as I ended up having to confide in him when I tried to make my escape.

[Finn POV]

Finn frowned after seeing a scarwny boy making his way toward him. He knew the boy a little bit, after all, he spent the past year since his arrival slowly breaking down the boy's mentality from the shadows by using his goons.

What puzzled him is the fact that the boy was standing right now after all he had instructed the boys to beat him up in the morning. It is not that he's got something personally against the kid.

It is so enjoyable to watch a mind slowly break and sink into despair as it starts grasping at hope from someone it usually wouldn't.

Out of all the kids, I've played this little game with so far he's definitely the youngest, but for the past year, the kid has mostly kept to himself hardly interacting with anyone here.

~~~

'I so want to beat that smug mf up' but that would just get me killed, plus I need him if I'm gonna cause enough panic and confusion for my escape.

Just as I was fifty yards from where Finn and his gang were sitting I cut a hard right because who in their right mind walks right up to the bad guy?

making sure to look slightly suspicious I approached an older boy by the name of Ian. He had his back on me so he didn't catch sight of my actions which served my purpose pretty well.

I tapped him on the shoulder once I reached him, making him jump slightly as his head turned so fast I thought it was gonna come right off.

"You okay there," I asked him in worry as that did not look healthy at all, and by the pained look on his face, it seems he was finally feeling the effects of it.

"Yh I'm fine," He said in a gruff, but I'm not sure if he was trying to convince himself or me.

Looking at him he's a thin boy around 1.70m tall with dirty blond hair, he was wearing worn-out clothes like the rest of us but he seems ed in better shape. He has a face that could only belong to a salesman to match his looks.

"I know I'm good looking but I don't swing that way kid" he joked with a bit of a defensive posture. Guess I was staring at him for a little too long for his comfort.

"Bro you know I'm 5 right? Even if I wasn't no man could compare to J.Lo" I said to him as I remembered my celebrity crush on Jennifer when I was young.

He seemed taken aback by my response almost as if I shattered his worldview by having zero attraction to him. He must really love himself to be able to think so highly of his above-average looks.

I'm not one to compare looks or anything but I'm pretty sure I'm handsome for a five-year-old. I have a small afro crowning my head followed by a symmetrical facial structure add that with my light skin complexion I'm basically Adonis.

Anyways back to the point, I looked him in the eyes and said "Do you want revenge on Finn?"
