5 School (1/2)

”Argh!!! Haa... haa… haa…”

Inside a small white hut, a young man abruptly shot up from bed as he gasped for air.

Sweat dropped from his head as the young man, Axel, clutched his chest while his breathing began to calm. He looked left and right before he said, ”Where… am I?”

The sun gentle shone through as Axel looked at his body and realised his wounds were healed. He quietly muttered, ”Wasn't I injured from the fight against that giant snake? System, what happened?”

[While host was unconsious, your emotions at the time somehow contacted that girl, Olivia. She later saved you and brought you to someplace she called, 'Basecamp.']

Axel slowly nodded before he said, ”System, show me my status.”

Axel looked at his status in shock. He quickly said, ”System, why did the mentality stat increase!?! I haven't leveled up yet!”

The screen disappeared before the system said, [Host, you can gain stats by doing something that would increase it. By having a near death experience, you've gained mentality stats.]

Axel followed up as he asked, ”Then, can you give me a simple description of the stat?”

The system said nothing as a screen appeared.

After the screen disappeared, Axel quickly lay back in bed and began to think. He opened his mouth to say something when a woman wearing a lab coat walked in. Axel quickly closed his mouth and acted asleep. He began communicating in his mind as he said, ”System, you said something about Olivia and how she brought me here, how long was I out.”

[1 week.]

Axel jumped from his bed and screamed, ”A WEEK!?!”

*crash*

Axel suddenly froze as he turned to the source of the noise, only to find the doctor collapsed on the ground while a tray and bottles that were filled with different coloured liquids were scattered everywhere.

The doctor quickly stood up after picking up the bottles and acted like nothing happened. She lay one bottle besides Axel, glared at him and started to leave. However, before she could walk out the door, she heard Axel mutter, ”Black-lace...” causing her to fall again.
