What was it that floated in front of him? In the corner of his vision was a white rectangle that the word SEARCH inside on the left side while on the far right was a magnifying gla.s.s.
[Search....?]
"A search engine?" Asked Theodore in a questioning tone
"What is going on" Asked Theodore not expecting an answer
After his question to the unknown, the search bar replied by placing his words in the search bar.
[What is going on?....?]
[This is the universal search engine. A sub-portion of G.o.ds power. Downgraded to work with the lower worlds. The universal search engine can provide answers to life"s greatest question, it can provide worded and physical help to all of the host needs]
"So how does this work? Am I forced to follow your instructions and if I fail to comply I"ll be severely punished" Thought, Theodore
[How does it work?..... ?]
[G.o.ds greatest gift to mankind was free will. The universal search engine does not wish to destroy something G.o.d personally believes makes living special. To use the universal search engine the host is encouraged to spread a sense of positivity or make humans smile.]
[Every positive thing the host does will be given a point value depending on how much it affects the receiver. It takes 10 points to use the search engine. The universal search engine can provide skill and information]
[To acquire said skills and information the host is given optional tasks that vary in difficulty and in quality. Difficulty is shown as u003cCu003e, u003cBu003e, u003cAu003e. "A" Being the hardest and "C" is the easiest. Quality is shown as u003cBeginneru003e, u003cintermediateu003e and u003cMasteru003e ]
"Nice!! But why the f.u.c.k did it take a whole year?" Thought Theodore
[Why now?..... ?]
[The host was in a trial period in which the host was to acquire 200 positive points without the expectation of any return. The host gained 3 points 00:01:34 seconds ago which was added to the already acc.u.mulated 197 points. This is the end of the tutorial please enjoy and fully use the Universal Search Engine. Please keep the existence of the search engine a secret or host will suffer the consequences]
"Okay, Wait I forgot to ask why my streamer name is Single_Dad. I still have my 200 points I guess it won"t hurt to use Ten points" Thought, Theodore
"Search how to change my Streamer ID" Thought Theodore
[How to change streamer ID?..... ?]
Following the search was the answer that required no task.
[You Can"t, please spread the goodness of human life through this ID and through other forms of entertainment]
"So it was you. I"m gonna take a wild guess and say that I will not be allowed to even create another account" Thought, Theodore
Looking back to his daughter whose eyes were gleaming with pure joy while watching her cartoon with an innocent smile over her cute face.
"My reputation doesn"t matter I need to work hard to keep that smile on her face. Think about what do I need right now. I need something that can gain the interest of the audience. I should also make sure not to get too lost in work. I need to balance it. No! I need the farther and daughter stuff to outweigh work. Hmmm. . . .I got It I"ll stream with Rose maybe do a little adventure series around the world. I don"t have the money for that and then there are the diseases. . . . I really don"t want to make it seem like I"m using my daughter for fame but It would be fun in a sense. . . . . . . I"ll figure something out. . . . I need a gimmick that makes things more interesting. . . . .Ah that"s it" Thought Theodore
"Search Magic" Thought Theodore
[Magic..... ?]
1•[magic that focuses on card magic]
2•[The understanding of all things related to Close up magic]
3•[All things are can be astounding no matter how ordinary it might seem]
Theodore thought about it and decided to look into the third option and what it took to learn the easiest version.
≈Magic No 3≈
[Task C: Buy daughter her dream bear• Time Limit: 24 hours]
"Dream bear? sorry Rose but if remember correctly your dream bear is $150, so please dream smaller" Thought, Theodore
[Task B: Get a six-pack• Time Limit: 2 months]
"Nah I"m good, I need magic today preferably. The soon the better" Thought, Theodore
[Task A: Help neighbour give a heartfelt smile • Time Limit: 24 hours]
"Oh, that seems pretty easy. Looks like I will be a master magician in no time" Said Theodore as takes the last option
While somewhat celebrating in his head he looked down to the bottom of the system to see.
*Cough* "A whole 200 pounds *Gulp* I"m already 230 pounds if I gain another two hundred I"ll be a walking blimp," Said Theodore in a quiet yet still astonished tone
"Okay, I need some info" Said Theodore
Opening his social media app called FaceNote he put in his neighbour name, Charlie Banks. He turned on location and had it search within his area.
Seeing an old man with a kind and bright smile he immediately recognises it as his neighbour.
His neighbour is normally a happy old man giving a hearty "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening" whenever he sees him.
Yet for some reason, he has appeared to have an extremely sad feel to his demeanour. His eye we"re distant and his smile was forced.
"What exactly happened" Said Theodore as he began to feel concerned with
Looking deeper he wasn"t able to find any notion that something terrible had happened to him. That is until he thought of the possibility the date was what made him sad.
Looking a year back from today on his timeline he found a video that paid tribute to his wife. Then another video in which Charlie shared a speech about his beloved soulmate.
"This is a tough one" Said Theodore sadly
He looked through it again and found a key point in his speech that could help put a smile on Charlie"s face.
With a hard nod, he looked at the time and then looked back to Rose and said "Let"s go out, for a walk"
"play in the park?" Asked Rose with her head to the side
"That"s right we"ll go to the park" Said, Theodore
"Yay park!!!" Shouted Rose as jumped off the couch and her way to the shoe rack.
Theodore followed behind as he thought about where he can get "the" gist that would put a smile on the man"s face.
