Ficool

Chapter 3 - 3

Miguel wakes up feeling tired and confused at what he was looking at, for him it was strange that the first thing he sees when he wakes up was a clear view of the underside of the bed. He starts to turn around to lay on his back slowly in a groggy state and notices that his entire body felt tired, he doesn't feel any pain but movement feels slow and difficult in general. When he is finally able to he stares upward only to find Rocky standing over him looking down at him, surprised at this he does not move and Rocky starts licking his face. Miguel seems disgusted by this and pushes away the dog while sitting up "Aw, come on that's nasty"; he takes a moment and thinks that yesterday the dog seemed like a statue almost as if it had no thoughts of its own, he turns around and looks at the dog, it looks back at him and after a while, it tilts its head. This was strange but he had no idea what to expect from his newly acquired talent. He tries to stand up but feels weak and sits down on his bed and lays back down, quickly falling asleep.

Suddenly there is knocking at the bedroom door "Mike, wake up man, you said you would come with me to the party", Miguel woke up again and sees that the dog is still there and whispered "Hide" then goes to open the door "hey sorry, John, I'm not feeling too good, I'm going to have to skip this one" John looks at him and notices, the bags under his eyes the tired looking face and the bad posture "damn, if your feeling that bad, you should go see a doctor, for a person that been sleeping for 2 days you don't look rested at all" John turns around and starts to leave the apartment "alright then, I'm not missing it, ill see you later". John leaves and Miguel pulls out his phone to see that it has been almost 2 days since he got home "fuck, it's Monday and I missed work" he checks his messages and sees 10 missed calls and 20 messages with the last one "don't even bother coming in, just come pick up your last paycheck later". He needed that job but just got fired "damn it, damn it, damn it" he tosses his phone on the bed "What the hell happened!"; he gets on his laptop and starts searching for awakened that passed out for long periods, only to find that in severe cases of mana deficiency from overuse or mana overflow a person can pass out. Depending on how much of a deficiency there is people could pass out for hours and wake up very tired, with a headache, and in some cases this event could lead to death but since beginning skills don't usually use too much mana that isn't an issue. "a few hours, what the hell I woke up almost 2 days latter" he thinks for a moment "menu" inside the menu he selects undead servants 1/10 and a new screen pops up showing Rocky's information.

Rocky (Named Servant) Lvl 1

"Has grown stronger after being named, can now level up"

"Recovered a small portion of memories before death as a dog, the servant can now regenerate it's own mana although at a slower rate than when it's sleeps in the servants dimension""

"looks like the memories servants have are of the remains, not the soul, guess the souls just work like batteries not an actual soul" relieved by this outcome but frustrated that he almost died from a skill he didn't know he had or even mean to use, Miguel stands up and heads to the kitchen then takes 2 Tylenol then goes back to sleep because he isn't much use being this tired.

The next day Miguel wakes up, picks up his last paycheck, and looks around for a new job, while he was looking around he looks at publicity everywhere of the famous awakened. Miguel had just awakened and his results were bad but at the time, he did not have any skills to be evaluated "If I tried a reevaluation, I might get a better result; right now they won't even let me into a dungeon, but if I get a better score I might even be recruited into a good guild" he makes a decision, to prepare for the reevaluation. On his way home he drives past the hospital "My skill requires souls, I need to find more" he looks in his rearview mirror, then turns around, and goes to the hospital. Miguel does to the same area of the hospital, and goes to the nurse's station "Hello, I'm thinking of getting into the nursing career and would like to know if there is any way I may be able to shadow someone and learn about the job." The nurse looks at him then looks down and keeps writing information on a chart "Wait here a moment" Once she finishes she stands up and walks away; after 10 minutes another nurse shows up with scrubs and some paperwork "Hi there, I'm the head nurse and if you want I can allow you to shadow someone but you have to sign some paperwork, leave an ID and wear these scrubs, is that fine?". Miguel was happy that his plan worked although he wasn't too sure about it at first.

"Hey, new guy take this to the septic area"

"hey hold this"

"new guy, go get a bedpan"

"Can you move that over there"

"don't forget to get that bedpan over there and take it back"

"new guy, hold this while the patient vomits into it"

After a couple of hours, he found out that, it wasn't him being lucky to be allowed this chance but that the nurse played him into free labor, since they used him to do all the jobs they didn't want to do he ended up moving things around a lot, unfortunately, those things were usually urine and fecal matter. By the end of the day, he didn't have much time to rest and the nurses were very happy with this help, when he took off the scrubs he noticed a couple of spots on them but didn't want to know what it was. As he was leaving the head nurse turned to him "Come back any time and good luck in school", although he was annoyed at everything that happened he was happy because while walking through the halls he walked past a patients room that had just passed away while having Overflow syndrome, a notification of new weak soul acquired popped up for him.
