4 Disrupted Psychosis (1/2)
”Riyku...”
”Riyku.....”
”Get up!”
The shout awoke the male; though what he glanced upon was different. Darken skies, clouded by ash as flames erupt from all around him. Clash of metal against metal rang throughout his eardrums as he wondered what was going on. Just where was he? His vision had slowly begun to clear up which allowed him a better picture. He was upon a battlefield? Soil turned over, the smell of ash heavy in the sky and the scent of copper and iron wasn't anything to shy from the corrosion. Standing up the male seemed just fine; however, he continued to hear his 'beep' going off in his head. His eyes shifted around till they took note of a green bar. It was blinking red since it was dangerously low. His eyes looked towards his hands; his skin was a dangerous pale, in fact, his overall perception of height was higher than it should've been.
”What is this?” The male would speak, yet his words did not resound from his vocals. His lips did not part. His body began to move, but not of his accord. ”Iris! Seraphina! Fall back now!” His voice shouted out, his lips moved, but those words were not what he wished to speak. What indeed was going on? ”Of course honey!” The smokin' hot black haired woman who held a gray complexion called out. ”Yes, Father.” A female who resembled the male called back as well as the two of them would retreat while. A hand was placed upon the male's shoulder; his head shifted back to another woman. ”Master, I advise retreat. Skeith cannot hold out any longer. We are not in any condition to continue this battle.” It was the same voice that called out to him. This one's skin was more of a blue coloration and her hues were completely purple even the iris. She appeared to be like that of a demon, but less of one compared to the other gray-skin colored woman. ”Nira... We can't simply run. Those two will catch up sooner or later. Don't worry... I have a plan.” The male placed his hand upon her own to push it off before moving forward. ”Skeith! Fall back.” The male called out as he watched another man, who held the same complexion as the woman yet appeared more demonic than his gray-skin toned counterpart. If anything they could be confused as siblings; but they weren't. The male kissed his teeth as he continued to deflect blades coming from a duo. ”Easier said than done, Riyku!” The male replied.
Riyku seemed to flick his wrist as several screens appeared before him. His fingers working along said screens like some kind of ultra-hacker. More tabs opened up as seconds passed and several colorations of auras flared along the male's body. ”I don't mind killing you again, Skeith.” Riyku seemed to tease yet a seriousness remained in his vocals. ”Goddamnit, Riyku. I swear to god if you hit me with whatever you are about to use, I'll hunt you down and make you wish you regret what you are about to do!” The male exclaimed as Riyku chuckled. ”Then move.” He replied.
”I sense something off about all of this...” Nira who was behind the male with the two muttered under her breath. ”What do you mean?” The gray-skin toned woman, shifted her glance as she looked at her. ”Something about his data is beginning to corrupt,” Nira replied. ”Virus!?” The girl who had a resemblance of Riyku had called out in which Nira shook her head. ”No, it does not feel malicious; however, I do not like it... It feels as if something bad is about to happen.” Nira replied once again. ”Done,” Riyku muttered as the screens vanished from view. ”System malfunction: Health Gauge has been reduced to one point... Buff Granted: Last Stand.” An automated voice echoed from the male. ”Hoooh?” The lips of one of the duo curled up. ”Another trick up your sleeve, Riyku?” The same person called out even though they were preoccupied with Skeith. ”Something like that. You two have caused enough trouble for me. It's time I take you down, ____, _______”. The male's voice was cropped out and shortly after the vision went black.
”What now?” Riyku called out before his vision became blurry yet again, this time around he seemed to awake to darkness. After a moment of adjustment for his eyes; he took note that he was in a room. The feeling of softness below him was that of a bed. He looked at his skin, the complexion not pale, but more so a creamy color. ”Was that a dream?” The male whispered softly; able to hear his own voice answered his question. A sudden ache to his head caused him to wince and groan as he placed his hand to his head. ”Argh... What?” The male groaned before an answer came to him. ”User Riyku. You are awake. After expending so much magika at once during your race against Amorira; you've used up not only all of your mana but most of your energy as well. So the fatigue caught up to you. I drew upon this conclusion based on everything. I went ahead and rebooted your system so you would not go into a comatose state. You must remember that your body is now flesh and blood. Just because your bones are indestructible does not mean you are.” Coco's voice came forth throughout his mind which caused him to sigh heavily.
”Speaking of which, I noticed your brainwaves were drifting around rapidly. Did you have some kind of dream?” Coco inquired in which Riyku nodded lightly. ”I can assume such. Though, it felt far too real. Like I was actually there. My name was even called out...” The male spoke lightly. ”Hmm... Sounds like you were dreaming of your previous life. Your soul still remembers everything; since your soul is still in contact with your body such is possible after all. As I explained before of course.” Coco added in; though Riyku seemed to only sigh heavily. ”Iris... Nira... Seraphina and Skeith. There were two more but, I never got their names.” The male stated lightly.
”Who are they?” Coco inquired in which the male shook his head. ”I am not sure. Maybe comrades?” He would shake his mind from this ordeal. ”Where am I anyway?” The male inquired softly. ”A bedroom,” Coco replied in which the male's brow twitched lightly. ”Clearly...” He muttered. ”Whose bedroom?” The male inquired yet again with a bit more of a forceful tone. ”Ooooh. Your bedroom.” Coco replied in which the male would raise a brow. ”You mean the one I am supposed to share with that girl?” Riyku questioned in which Coco replied; ”Yes.”
The male glanced about, now that his eyes adjusted to the dark he could see slightly better. ”I don't see anyone here.” The male stated lightly. ”Well, that woman had her men drag you in and toss on the bed. Something about coming to deal with you tomorrow and that she would be staying with someone else for the evening.” Coco explained in which Riyku released a soft breath. ”Well, no sense in wasting time I guess. I should go over a few things.” The male mused lightly; it seemed Coco was silently intrigued by what he meant. ”If I recall correctly...” The male would flick his wrist up. As he laid there a dimly lite screen would appear before him. ”User Riyku... How did you do that?” Coco inquired in which Riyku shook his head. ”I am not sure. It happened in the dream, so I thought I would test it here. Seems like it worked out.” The male stated as his eyes began to examine the screen.

The male was silent as he went through the screen; however, the question marks did intrigue him. ”Coco, I thought my blood type was taken care of.” The male inquired lightly. ”It is; however, this is your true status screen. It is a combination of what is on record in their system as well as what is on record in my system.” She replied in which the male exhaled a soft breath. ”What of this 'Class' ordeal?” The male inquired in which the male smiled lightly. ”Well, I am glad you asked. The Class indicates what Class you are. Presently you are not set as a Class; however, once you decide to Class Up. I can guide you in the correct direction. Although, there are two requirements before you can Class Up. First being you need to be over level ninety. The second requirement is that you have to clear a certain condition. What condition? Well, that is beyond me.” Coco stated in which Riyku rose a brow. ”What do you mean, it is beyond you? Are you saying you do not have the information on the Class Up?” Riyku inquired in which Coco replied; ”It's not that. It is more like when I try to investigate upon the matter; a system error appears and states; 'User Riyku has not met the correct Condition or Requirement for Class Up.'”. The male sighed heavily and shook his head.
”Well, whatever. I guess I'll figure it out later. For now...” The male went silent as he motioned the screen with a light swipe of two fingers. Using what he had recalled from the dream in order to progress onward to the screen; however, the screen vanished from sight. ”Huh?” The male mused lightly before flicking his wrist to bring the same screen up before him. His eyes would skim over the screen before taking note of a small arrow on the lower right-hand corner. He must have missed it before, and upon pressing his upward arrow a new column would rise. Upon the column had been several tabs with the words in order: Inventory, A.A.A, Skills, Settings, Companions. The male's eyes narrowed for a second on the Companions tab. ”Maybe I can get some info on those four...” The male mused as he pushed on the tab which brought up a list of names with the name of the tab:
