My Slayer System: Rise to Supremacy

After leaving the VR room, Jake went to his room and there he saw his roommates making some last minute preparations before they went to sleep. They were all checking their equipment and other things. After some hours, they finally decided to get some sleep. While Jake was sleeping, he was having a nightmare. He saw his mother standing in the middle of the forest with a concerned look on her face.

"You're not strong enough son, be careful, you are in danger." Then he saw his mother getting stabbed in the back and then he was jolted awake.

Jake's heart was now beating hard and fast it felt like his heart was going to come out of his chest. He touched his face and he felt how sweaty he was. After a few minutes of calming down, Jake decided to check the time and noticed that it was already time for his daily quest.

On his way to the gym, Jake couldn't shake the dream off his mind. 'Why did I see my mom and what did she mean by I'm in danger. Was it just a dream or does it has a meaning?'

"Zee, did you see my dream or nightmare?" Jake asked.

"Normally, I do see whatever you dream sometimes but this time, I didn't see anything." Zee replied.

Jake decided to shrug it off and then opened the door to the gym. Then he started his daily quest which was now relatively easy. He didn't even break a sweat as he was doing the physical exercise and then he moved on to the running. After an hour, Jake was now done with his daily quest then he decided to glance at his status screen.

Jake sighed. "I'm still a long way from levelling up. It seems I can only level up now through quests." Jake said as he stood up to leave.

Jake walked for a few minutes before he got to his dorm and strangely, his friends were all still asleep. 'Huh?' Jake thought confused. 'By this time, they would have all been awake fighting over who will go in to take their bath first.'

Jake just shrugged it off as he went to take his bath. When he came out, he saw his mother standing in front of him.

"What the heck!?!" Jake shouted out loud.

His mother was standing looking at him with her long blonde hair and oval shaped face and her lovely gaze. "Son, you are not strong enough. You are in danger son." His mother's voice was now fading in and out and she was already fading away.

Seeing that, Jake dashed across the room to hold his mother back. "No mom! Don't go." Jake screamed and then finally got to his mother's position but she was already gone. Jake turned his head left and right looking for his mom but he didn't see her.

This caused another type of pain to pierce his heart and he didn't know when he started screaming. "Arghhh! Are you taunting me? Why show me my mom again?" Jake said as he fell on his knees crying.

Jake's shout woke the room up and then they saw Jake on the floor sobbing. Kate was the first person to dash towards him then she held him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? Why did you shout earlier and why are you suddenly crying?" Kate asked with her voice sounding worried. By this time, the rest of the room had surrounded Jake.

Jake turned around to look at who was talking to him then he suddenly hugged Kate out of the blue. "I… I saw my mom again and..she was standing there and now she…" Jake said in between sobs.

"It's okay. Let it out. You have been keeping everything to yourself, you don't have to carry this burden alone. We are family." Kate said while stroking his hair.

Peter then walked forward. "What do you mean you saw your mom?"

Jake then lifted his head from Kate's warm embrace then he looked at Peter then he wiped his tears from his face. "I was woken up by a strange nightmare. I saw my mom in the middle of a strange forest. She was telling me that I was in danger and I should be careful that I wasn't strong enough." Jake said as he slowly stood up from the ground.

"Then I saw her again, she was standing here telling me the same thing she told me in my dream. It all felt so surreal, it was like she was truly standing here and the next thing, she disappeared."

"What if it wasn't your mom." Sophia said.

"What do you mean?" Jake asked with a raised brow. "Are you saying I have run mad? That I don't know what my mom looks like again and that I'm hallucinating."

"Exactly." Sophia said. "Well except the mad part. I mean what if the reason you saw her is because you miss her and wanted to see her again so your mind played tricks on you by giving you what you truly wanted."

"I don't usually agree with Sophia." Peter said which caused Sophia to roll her eyes. "But on this, I think she has a point. What if everything was just a figment of your imagination. Trust me, I have gone through what you went through with my parents being murdered by werewolves and me hallucinating seeing them again. Our minds always play tricks on us."

"So in summary, you are all saying I'm imagining things."

"Exactly." Sophia and Peter said.

Jake just sighed and didn't say anything back as he slowly made his way to his bed to relax while closing his eyes. Kate was about to go to Jake to try and make him see reason but Sophia stopped her.

"Just let him be for now. I'm sure by the time he wakes up, he will be fine."

Looking between Sophia and Jake, Kate decided to listen to Sophia as they all decided to get ready for the day because today was finally going to be the first day of their weekly beast hunt and they were quite excited.

Meanwhile Jake was still on his bed but he wasn't sleeping, he was conversing with Zee. "Did you see that? Please tell me I wasn't hallucinating."

"Yes I saw that too. But I don't understand how I could see her. I think it's because our consciousness was linked together."

"Whatever it is, my mom was trying to warn me of a danger ahead so I need to be ready for anything." Jake said as he slowly stood up coz his roommates were all ready to head off for breakfast before the hunt will begin.
