Speed Is King

"SSS Beast Taming System?! Are you freaking kidding me…" Elliot groaned. The absurdity and awesomeness of something as incredible as going back in time and receiving a "system" was completely lost on Elliot.

He had seen too many crazy things happen in the past 11 months, and another two crazy things happening was well… Meh.

In fact, he was feeling rather pissed.

"Why Beast Taming System?? Why not a Professional Racing System? Or a Rocket Building System? Heck I'll even accept a Professional Stealing System! Curse you Diamond Sponsor! Curse you MONKEY KING!!" Elliot shouted vehemently, not knowing that every single thing he said or did was being broadcasted live to the aliens.

In fact, the extremely ultra high-definition screen in the VIP Diamond Sponsor room was currently focused on him and his words.

*-*-*-*-*

"Hahahahahaha!" Void Walker roared with laughter. "He is actually cursing you, Monkey! He is such an ungrateful recipient of your ridiculously powerful SSS System! Maybe you should sabotage his system a little, turn him into a monkey or something."

Monkey King merely smiled at Void Walker and said very confidently. "He is merely cursing out of ignorance. Once he begins to use my SSS Grade Beast System and discovers its true power, he will be my number one fan. At that time, recruiting him into my faction would be a piece of cake."

The golden dragon snorted derisively. "That is if he gets into the finals. That's a big IF. He almost died countless times before. Maybe his luck would be worse this time and he'll die for real soon."

"Awww, poor golden lizard. Are you really that bitter about him rolling the full power of my Reverse Time Walk, thereby restarting the entire game with ALL-"

"ENOUGH!" The golden dragon roared angrily and stomped off to join the other dragons in the massive VIP room.

"Hahaha. Pissing him off is definitely one of my favorite things to do. What a great day. I feel really happy today." Void Walker said with a dreamy smile. "How about you, Monkey?"

"Yes, me too. And I am about to become much happier. Look at the screen." Monkey King pointed.

"Mystery box? Hohoho. You're very generous, aren't you?" Void Walker said.

*-*-*-*-*-*

"Show me what you can do then, Hawk." Elliot said with a rueful sigh, his mind still full of the awesome possibilities that would be unlocked if only he had received a Professional Driving System.

"WHAT? Why are my stats so low? And what's with all the comparison to monkeys?" Elliot yelled at Hawk.

[Monkey comparison is a bonus feature, gifted by the Monkey King. Your stats are low due to many long years of unhealthy living such as lack of exercise, lack of sleep, lack of fiber and protein in your dietary intake, lack of attention, lack of love, lack of motivation and definitely a lack of money. ]

"... … … HA HA!" Elliot laughed. "You're exactly right! My goodness, I really was unhealthy before the apocalypse hit us huh?"

[Affirmative.] Hawk replied in his emotionless voice.

"... … That was a RHETORICAL question. You did not need to answer that." Elliot said with a slightly helpless sigh. "Anyway, what else can you show me?"
