Brian's POV
I slowly opened my eyes, groaning in pain, moving once, making every limb in my body pop.
Then I realized something I wasn't in my room. I was in a chair, but that didn't fully give it away. What did was the wrist clamps holding me down to it with a slight pinch from it, which showed they did it without care.
"Ah, you're finally awake," the doctor, whose name he still didn't know, spoke. (Skyrim reference).
I sat up as the room's lighting and overall feel gave off an interrogation-like vibe.
"Where am I?" I said, trying to get more info as to where I was, even though I knew with these people it would be useless.
"We will ask the questions you are not in a position to demand things," she said with a slight venom.
"What did you do in your cell before you passed out?" she said as she railed in her emotions of anger, as she may have thought he was a spy.
'What should I say? I mean, I did take that ability injector, but I didn't think it would be so violent,' Brian thought as he was about to say he didn't know what happened, as to make it seem like a side effect of the test from the previous day. Still, he was cut off by her pulling out a tablet with a video on it.
What it showed shocked him as he didn't know what was happening when he went out.
What was played was a video seemingly from his cell. It showed him having a small yet slightly noticeable prick of blood on his back as he started convulsing and foaming at the mouth.
Then it began he started shifting sizes from big to small to imperceptible to filling the entire room. Then Turing showed himself to be normal as he shifted back as a little blood was on his back.
The video was cut off after that as he turned to the doctor her face clinical as if she saw him as a thing to be studied or worse.
"Explain," she said.
I thought to myself, trying to think of a way to escape suspension, but came up only with one option, and I took it.
"I think random things happen to and around my I don't know what happened in the cell but I feel as if I can do it again but maybe I can control it this time" I said as it was somewhat the truth and some bullshit to make it seem believable.
The doctor sat there seemingly thinking of how to go about this.
"You will be relocated to a new temporary cell until it is decided what to do with you," she said as she stood up from her chair, walking away, signaling the guards to unhook me from the chair.
I did what I should and followed the guards as they took me to a new wing one labeled temporary containment.
Finally, we got to a room where we stopped at a door that opened.
"Get in, in a while we will come and get you," said a guard.
"*Sigh*ok" I said as the door shut behind me.
I looked around, and the room looked nicer than my old one, as it had a normal-looking toilet and an actual bed with sheets, no blanket though.
I decided to pull up the screen but something that he hadn't heard of before came up.
**password required**
He instinctively knew the password as 'Let's Go Gambling', which he tried to say in his mind, but it didn't work. It seemed he would need to say it verbally instead.
"Let's Go Gambling," I whispered as quietly as possible, so as not to alert anyone or any bugs.
'That will be an issue,' I thought, but pushed that to the back of my mind as I had more important things to think about.
Another page popped up showing a slot machine, this time with a lever that seemed physical yet transparent. Next to it, a ticket icon showing 1x normal ticket appeared.
With a barely noticeable motion, I flipped it and began to spin the first slot being a cherry, the next a lemon, and another cherry.
🥳**Congratulations**🎉
You gained all artificer materials and spells for level 5 from dnd 5e, not including cantrip or previous level spells, and replacing requirements such as certain items with mana
****
Knowledge of the abilities and items washed over my mind, causing me to almost collapse onto my bed behind me as I was standing in front of it to prevent this very thing from happening and injuring him, as his back still hurt from the injector used before.
Soothing my aching head I look so at the screen as I wanted to see what I got.

****
After reading all of that I had a headache as the amount of information was like a shot to the skull.
"Imma just sleep and wait till they come back for me," I said as I lay my head down on the bed which had sheets but no pillow.

Please tell me how you liked it and what I can add in the future I use a wheel with around 1000 different things and it landed on this so it was random
Have a great day and tell me how I can improve.☺️
