Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Worry Worry Worry (edited)
In the kitchen I made my breakfast, a bowl of cereal and eat it as fast as possible. Now what should I do about this floating panel in front of me. Can I increase my attribute with this or what? And how do I do that, then. Touching the panel? Curious, I stretch my hand toward the panel. But my hand goes through the panel with ease. Hmm, can I control it with my mind? Let's go and try it then, I'll try increasing my strength by one. Concentrating to the panel, the strength attributes increasing by one. Yes, it's a success! But, why I'm not feeling any change whatsoever? It is only effective after I spend all the attribute point?
I'm taking back the point I spent. And thinking it through, which attribute do I want to increase. Hmm, aha, I'd better increasing my luck then. If my dream and this system give me any sign. That's mean in a year a nuclear apocalypse is incoming. And I need money, a lot of them to make my own vault. Because if my dream is correct. In the future, there will be a man sabotaging the life support system. Killing all the inhabitants of vault 111. Now I need to earn a lot of money fast. From my calculation, there are 20 months left until the nuclear apocalypse come.
When I'm making a game, if luck is at 10. The effect will increase all my skills by 5 while also increasing the critical hit chance. And it's increasing the odds of winning when gambling to boot. The only way I can think of to earn a huge amount of money. In a short period of time is by gambling, lottery or investing in valuable stock. Thanks to my age, all those things are off limit. Unless I'm doing something very illegal. That's why I'm going to spend all my point to luck. Because, if I want to do those things, I need a very high luck.
And, I can increase the other attribute by training or implant. After spending all the attribute point I have. My body stiffen up, as my soul flying out of my body. And I'm seeing three shadows of giant fish appear in front of me. Seeing my soul, one of the fish shadows speak, "oh? Why a foreign living in his body?" Puzzled, I try to speak, but my soul. Getting sucked back into my body.

Snapping out of my trance, I'm falling down from the chair. Nearly hitting my head on the fridge in the process. As I try to get up, a green dollar bill peeking out under the fridge. My eyes lit up, as I'm grabbing the bill in, a flash. Taking a closer look at the paper, turn out it's a $100. Weird how did this thing ended up down there. Well, anyway, it's mine now. Putting the money in my pocket. I'm taking a look at the panel now, it's asking me to choose a skill to tag. In a heart beat, I'm choosing Barter, Science, and Repair.
Because it makes a sense for me If I want to make my own vault. These skills are very necessary. I'm clutching my head in pain. After choosing the skill to tag. As my brain receiving knowledge that I never learn in my life.
Barter 35
Energy Weapons 20
Explosives 20
Guns 20
Lockpick 20
Medicine 20
Melee Weapon 20
Repair 35
Science 45

For example, I never know how to sew clothes and making bullet. But now I can do it with ease. Even so, it's feeling weird, as how my science skill. And default SPECIAL statistic different from the game. The SPECIAL should have been 5 across the board. With another 5 bonus point to spend. And the skill should have 15 across the board too. Hmm, maybe the system reflected real life, as the statistic shown in the panel. Closer to the statistic I have tested recently. As they test my SPECIAL when joining high school. For high Science skill. I'm thinking it's because my strongest subject is programming.
The panel now telling me to choose my trait, so I choose Skilled and Good Natured. These traits will increase my skill to a whole new level. Skilled effect is I gain +5 points to every skill, but suffer -10% from experience gained. Good Natured Increases Speech, Medicine, Repair, Science, and Barter skills by +5. But decreases Energy Weapons, Explosives, Guns, Melee Weapon, and Unarmed skills by -5. With these high supporting skills. The road of my rise, before the apocalypse, is pretty much covered. After choosing my trait the skill panel disappear for a moment. Then its asking me to confirm my choice.

As for the fighting skill, I can increase it with training and leveling up, but the question is how do I do that. To level up I need to earn Exp and the way to earn it is by killing my enemy and solving quest. Well, killing people is a crime, and I don't want, to get involved with the police. Killing animal also out of the picture, I don't want the other to see me as a psycho. Hmm, as for solving quest, it can happen, but how do I get, quest? I try summoning the panel again, but nothing happen. Confused, I'm tilting my head. As, I'm not quite sure why it isn't working.
Aha, maybe that's gonna work, I scramble toward the basement looking for a box. Rummaging around the basement, I'm making the messy room even messier. "Hmm, where is it? Yes, I finally found it!" Excited, I'm grabbing the box and bringing it to the living room. Inside the box is a Pip-Boy 3000 a gift from my mother for my 15 birthday. It's a hand me down as she's receiving the latest mark IV from her work, so she gave it to me. I put it back into the box because it's too cumbersome to wear. As I need to wear it as a gauntlet.
Wearing the Pip-Boy, I can feel the unpleasant prick on my wrist. Frowning, I ignore the pain and start checking out the Pip-Boy. Hmm, as I suspected, there's a menu that shouldn't be there at all. Like skill, achievement, faction etc. And the inventory menu is different too. Oh, what this, I'm finding a new note in the journal. Reading the note, I now know that this Pip-Boy have a space to store any item. As an experiment, I try putting the money in my pocket, and it works. The storage space capacity is depending on my strength. Because my strength is only 4, the capacity is pretty limited.
Time passes as I'm busy experimenting by putting. Variety of stuff from the basement into the storage space. Looking around the basement it's finally cleaned, satisfied I take a look at the clock 07.25 "Crap!" I run to my bedroom and change shirt. As I need to go to school, fast, because I'm freaking late.
