《Music System》Chapter 14
Advertisement
That night Saturn stayed the night at Sam's apartment. He slept on the couch though since he didn't trust himself to not try something; after all few men could resist the charm of a woman let alone one who had zero experience in his 24 years of life. When he woke up Samantha was still asleep so Saturn decided to start his daily morning routine which was usually 150 push-ups, 5 minutes of planking, five minutes of two other static workouts, and then 200 squats. Sometimes he would go on a jog or do jump squats or if he was near a gym go their, but he was unfamiliar with Samantha's neighborhood so he stuck with basic workouts.
It took him an hour and a half or so to do all of his workouts and Sam had woken up right as he had started on his squats. When she walked into his room she saw him in the lower squat position, she couldn't help but to wolf whistle.
" Work it baby. "
" Hehehe, you like that? "
Saturn did a duck face and did his best attempt at a twerk. All he ended up doing was move his butt up and down in the air, totally unattractive.
" Oh my God, STAHP! You look like you are being possessed. "
" Hehehe, morning babe. "
" Mornin', I'm about to go for a run, want to join? "
" Let me finish my squats first, only 150 left. "
" Alright I'll be right back, I'm going to go buy us some water. "
" Alright see ya babe. "
After that Sam who was wearing a tight band tee and a pair of baggy sweat pants walked down to the carry out right next to her apartment building. Saturn who was also wearing a pair of grey sweat pants and no shirt continued his squats. In all honesty he was strong enough that squats didn't do much for building muscle without weights, the only reasoning he continued them is for stamina training.
It only took him ten minutes or so to finish the entire 200 squats. Sam had shown up right as he finished. They didn't instantly leave for their run, instead they finished 30 ounces of water and did a pre-run stretch.
It was basically yoga.
Saturn didn't actually know what to do, he just did everything Sam told him to do. That very quickly led to an embarrassing situation for Saturn who wasn't super flexible. Every time he would try to do something even slightly difficult while standing he would trip or seize.
" Alright, I'm done. You continue I'll watch. "
" Alright we can go, I just wanted to see how long it would take you to break. "
" You're a douche. "
" Hehehe. "
After that the two walked to the bottom floor of Samantha's building. Saturn had put on the undershirt he had been wearing the night before. It was a white wife beater.
The two did a slow paced run that lasted three miles. Saturn despite having better fitness than Samantha in general couldn't actually run as long for as long as Sam. The reason being that Samantha had been training in long distance running since she had been in middle school. Saturn however did basically purely muscle building training. So even though he might be able to do a burst sprint that would be faster than Sam he would soon lose energy. After the three mile run Saturn was basically dead tired.
" God damn Sam, do you do that run everyday? "

" Heck no! I interchange, sometimes I do that run sometimes, other times I go longer, sometimes I run for a shorter time. That run just happens to be my favorite because it is the most scenic and I wanted to experience that with you. "
By that time the two were already back in Sam's apartment.
" I'm going to take a shower. "
" Alright, I'll go in after you. "
Saturn then sat down at Sam's computer and logged into his WeStream account. He had gone from 30,000 subscribers to 33,000. He also had tons of comments offering support. He also had his videos go from an average of twenty thousand or so views to an average fifty thousand, some even reached eighty thousand. His most popular videos were ( Lady in Black ) and ( Intro ). His least most popular videos were his piano videos.
After checking out all of that Saturn started reading webnovels. He could of course do that with his Music System, but it would be suspicious if he was seen just staring into space. While he was reading Sam walked out of the bathroom while wearing two towels, one on her body the other on her head.
Saturn quickly hopped up and ran to the bathroom to get his shower. Usually Saturn hated showers, but he couldn't handle such a good looking woman.
Saturn spent at most ten minutes in the shower, but that was plenty of time to " settle down ". When he came out Samantha was dressed properly in a pair of caprices and a dress that hung down to her mid thighs. She exuded youthful energy and beauty. She wasn't wearing any make up or jewelry, but any makeup would of definitely made her less pretty if that was possible.
When she stopped in front of Saturn who was sitting down putting on his shoes she did a spin which made her boyfriend slack jawed. Many people would think that Saturn and Samantha's relationship progressed fairly quickly, but one should keep in mind that there are people who would have sex on the first date, and the two had known each other for months. Saturn was also someone who had never been in a relationship so he would fall pretty quickly for a pretty girl who treated him nicely. Samantha on the other hand found herself the perfect man in Saturn. He was innocent, funny, talented, buff, and she saw that he was pretty well endowed last night when he was pointlessly trying to hide his hard on. He was also a badass as she could tell from the fact that he had been in jail.
So their relationship was basically as good as it could get fir young people.
" So what do you want to do today? "
" Well, first things first I want to go home and get some better clothes. After that we can go around the city or something I guess, I've never been on a date before. "
" Then let's go and get you some new clothes, then we can ask your mom if she wants to go to lunch with us. How's that sound? "
" We can't, mom has work. "
" Oh, then you do have a key to the house right? "
Saturn just nodded his head. After that the two left Saturn wearing black dress pants, his white dress shirt which was open, his white wife beater, and his black leather shoes. He looked like a movie bad ass in a suit who was about to kill a bunch of people. Samantha looked like a beautiful college girl who was about to go on a picnic in the park with her boyfriend. There couldn't have been a bigger difference. The only reason people could tell they were together was because they were holding hands.

The two walked to the parking garage under the apartment building to get to Samantha's silver sedan. The two got into the car and drove to Saturn's and his mother's house in order to get the young man some decent clothes. The drove along according to Saturn's instructions.
" So this is where you live, it's nice. "
" My favorite part is that we have no neighbors. Just me, mom, and you if you want to stop by. "
" A. I should of known that you were someone who hated dealing with people, opposite of me. B. Little tip for if you and I don't work out, girls usually don't like men who live with their mother's. "
" Eh, if they don't like me I couldn't give a shit less, fuck em'. Besides, you are my perfect girl so I would hate for us to break up. "
" Cute, but desperate. Another thing girls usually don't like. "
Saturn decided to kiss the young girl who wouldn't stop criticizing him. It was a deep kiss that of course had tongue. Samantha had used mouth so kissing her was like kissing a peppermint, Saturn loved it. He grabbed her by the waist, leaned her down, and kissed her with the passion of a thousand suns. The kiss lasted for forty seconds and the only reason it stopped was for Sam to breathe.
" ' Huff ' Now that ' Puff ' That, girls like. "
Saturn gave a devilish grin and gave her a light slap on the bum, Sam also grinned.
After the movie like romance scene Saturn showed Sam into the house while he went to change. He left her in the relaxation room while he went and put on a pair of khaki shorts and a black tank top. He also put on a pair of running shoes.
When he found the young woman she was looking at his guitar.
" You play? "
" No, but I know the person who built it, my grandfather. "
" Damn, really, what a coincidence. "
" Yeah, I really should visit him sometime, but I never think about it. "
" When can go today if you want. "
Sam thought about it for a bit while looking at the guitar. She then looked up right into her new boyfriends eyes.
" You sure? "
" Yeah, I have always wanted to visit the guy who made this baby so this is the perfect chance. "
Samantha gave a small smile and then walked back outside. They hopped into Saturn's tahoe at his behest. Sam conceded and said " yeah ".
When they hopped in Saturn's music started playing since his usb was still plugged in.
" Oop sorry. "
Saturn was about to turn his music off, but Sam reached up and grabbed his hand.
" Let it play, I really like your music. "
Every man likes being complimented, especially by young pretty girls, even better is when the girl is his girlfriend. Saturn was the kind of person who wouldn't care if everybody in the world disliked him or liked him. But he got a special feeling in his chest when Samantha said she liked his music.
" Alright. "
After that the two drove into town towards the store " Dante's Music Store ".
The owner of the store who was Samantha's grandfather was an old Luthier who built all his own instruments. According to what Samantha had said, her grandfather had moved from Spain to America when he was only twenty years old. While he had been in Spain Dante had learned how to build instruments from his own grandfather who had also been a luthier. When he came to America the only way for him to live was by using his only skill to make money. Eventually he made enough money to buy his own shop. Many years later he was actually a very successful fellow who could have bought multiple stores had he wanted. He could of even bought a store in the mall, but chose not to.
Apparently Dante had had a falling out with his children and Samantha after none of them wanted to learn his skills as a Luthier. That wasn't the only reason they had had a falling out, but it was the fire that set off the bomb. Samantha hadn't visited her father since she was sixteen while she was twenty now, she hadn't visited him in four years.
Samantha was very nervous on the drive over which slightly surprised Saturn since he had never seen the girl nervous in all the months he had known her.
Eventually they reached the store which was simply a red brick store. Clearly the store was old.
The two walked in while holding hands and instantly walked into the back of the store. Samantha new her way around from when she was a child and would watch her grandfather work. The two heard light, rhythmic, tapping sounds from the workshop of the store.
" Grandpa, it's Sammy. "
An old gruff voice accompanied an old tan man from the back of the store.
" What'd you want, to ruin my dreams again. "
Sam instantly teared up.
" I'm sorry grandpa, but you dream isn't mine. I want a clothing store. "
" I know, I didn't want you to continue the store I just wanted someone to pass my skills onto. "
" I tried to learn, but I couldn't you know that. . . . . . .Anyway I didn't come to argue, I just wanted to make amends with my grandfather. I even brought along my boyfriend. "
After she said that Sam's grandfather turned his attention to Saturn. He first looked into the young man's eye's before examining his hands. Dante's eye's widened slightly.
" Are you a musician? "
" I play a little, it's how I met Sam actually. Also I have a guitar bought from your store, it's amazing. "
Dante smiled, it looked like an apple sculpture.
" Thanks, then would you mind showing me some skill? I have always been interested in young talents. "
" Sure. "
In most situations Saturn would have a said no, but the old man had treated Saturn politely, and Saturn wanted to make Dante happy for Sam. He hoped that if Dante liked him he would forgive Samantha.
Dante handed Saturn a gorgeous jazz guitar. It had two delicate f-holes and was slightly on the thicker side. It was clear that Dante had amazing skills built up through the years.
Saturn examined the guitar while flicking the strings a bit while tuning the guitar. Eventually he started to play on it a little.
Saturn started off pretty lightly for his song. Mainly just flicking the strings with his fingers. Nothing really crazy, but it was still gorgeous to listen to be played. Eventually he picked up the speed and got quicker while still maintaining a mellow and relaxing sound. Both Sam and Dante were impressed at the young man's skill.
A few minutes later Saturn started to really go ham and started playing a riff that sounded like metal music. Thanks to the guitar though he still maintained the jazz sound. Neither Sam or Dante understood how Saturn was doing what he had been doing. Sam couldn't actually play an instrument while Dante wasn't anywhere near as skilled at guitar as Saturn. Eventually Saturn stopped his playing and handed the guitar back to the amazed old man and his granddaughter.
( I played two songs while writing this part. Both videos along with all of the other songs mentioned so far through the story can be found on this playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7_acUgMyEtVGHfIU5vKCH2dGXYFm-tIh )
" How was that? "
" Amazing babe, I knew you were good, but that was amazing. "
" Yeah son, I have never met a young person as good as you. . . . . Do you have any interest in learning how to make instruments? "
" Will you forgive Sam? "
" Heck yeah . . . . . . . If you two get married then it'll be like I'm teaching my own grandson which works perfectly. "
" . . . . Grandpa . . . . We just started dating officially, we aren't even thinking of moving in together let alone marriage. "
" Tsk, tsk, I don't get you young people, back in my day I remember boys and girls getting married as young as twelve. I don't get all this trouble about moving in together and blah blah blah. Just seal the deal and have children. "
" . . . . "
" . . . . "
Both of the young people were silent at the old man who went from angry and grump to shamelessly trying to get them to have children.
" So have you two gone to visit you parents yet Sammy. "
" Not yet grandpa. "
" You should, at least before you two move in. Even back in my day people would get the parents permission, unless of course parents set the marriage up. "
Both of the young people shook their heads.
Afterwards the two spent the rest of the day with Dante even going and eating lunch with him. They invited him to dinner with Amelia and them, but he declined unfortunately.
After that the two ate dinner with Amelia at her house.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Balancing of the world
Just as humanity reached the height of its power, it fell again. Mana was introduced into a previously balanced world, sending everything present into chaos. Humanity losing its technological advantages, fell back to the dark ages, back to when survival was all but guaranteed. Mana though useful for enhancing the body isn’t unlimited, and humanity fell behind fast. From experiments, a being of mana, born into this chaotic world. The first of its kind. Rather than thriving in a world to which it belongs, it has to model the world so it will suit its needs. As a lone being, it has to use its power over mana to influence beasts and humans alike to abide by its will and further its goals. It will manipulate intelligent lifeforms to do its bidding while believing that they are becoming stronger. It will help lower lifeforms and guide their lives until they fit into the world as envisioned by our being. Read how our protagonist starts in a small area, changing it to suit its needs, and then grows until the world is balanced and at peace again. This is my first story, and I don’t have an editor yet. My English should be good enough, but I expect to have to go back and do editing later on. I would classify this story as litRPG. There will be a type of system with blue boxes and all, though the perspective is the system itself and how it came to be and why it does what it does. As a single mighty being, there will be dungeon core influences such as expanding the area and influencing all within though there is no such thing as an actual dungeon. As humanity is trying to survive, there will also be some city/base building influences, and I will have some perspective changes to show how the forces are being perceived by the affected people. As I have a busy job, it will be hard to update consistently, but I am quite a bit ahead of what I have currently uploaded.
