After some time I opened my eyes groggily , as the effects of sleep still haven't wore off.
I brought up my left hand and rubbed my face to fully make me awake.
After waking up , I moved a little to sit up straight.
But as I was moving I felt something wrong with my right hand, and I immediately wanted to look out of fear that my arm maybe missing or something , but I held back , as I knew that the moment I see what has happened to it if it is bad. The system will mock me in my face. And seriously, I don't want that right now.
So I sat up straight as if there was no problem.
" See , nothing has happened to me for all that time I was sleeping and there is no danger ", but it immediately answered with [ Like I said , don't put any blame on me ] [And I advise you to go finish this as soon as possible] [And don't enter any of the other rooms you have and will encounter unless you want to die] [And also check your right arm before you say anything else ].
As I was about to turn my head to check my arm as advised another panel flickered into my view [ Next if you do something foolish I'm pretty sure it will go after your left arm as it wants you to run before you die] [So it is very advised to not run].
"No , no , no ...no" .
" I will heed your advice " , and then I looked at the panel. After a bit I said something again " I shall not run , but all the other things are useless " . " Even though , I told myself not to enter other rooms too " I said with a laugh. I then turned my attention to my arm , which was unresponsive. And what I saw scared the living daylight out of me . My smile vanished and it was replaced with an expression of exasperation. " Damn , that skeleton mine!" I paused and took a few deep breaths and ,my expression soon became indifferent. " If this skeleton is mine , why the hell does it look like it has been here from the beginning of time ". What frightened me so much is that the skeleton for my arms , yeah ,that thing under all that flesh and muscle, is exposed. Starting from my shoulder all the way down to the tips of my fingers. Buts that's not even the thing that scared me. It's the fact that my bones look like they have been here since the beginning of time. It's looks so old and ancient to the point I think that these bones ain't mine. Cause I'm just 18.
[ Oh, no , those bones are yours for sure ].
I looked at that panel for some time before standing up. I then started saying , " Don't worry , I know they are mine". I then starts checking this room if there's anything interesting I missed there , but unfortunately, I didn't find anything interesting except for some fruits on the wooden table. There very suspicious, so I shan't eat them. Oh , and a few skeletons.
" Okay , nothing interesting here ". So I left the room and started heading to the door on the left path of the intersection , when you view it from the path I entered here with.
And their told myself resolutely with unshakable will " I'll make sure to not pass by the dining room as I'll be bewitched ".
[ You won't be bewitched ].
This time I just kept quiet and opened the door as I reached it a bit before.
But when I entered the room , first thing I noticed are stairs that head down to somewhere.
Yeahhh , no way.
I immediately stepped out of the room and closed the door as if nothing is there.
" Nope , no , no , no, that place looks like a cursed place where I would fall into a cursed trap , be cursed or meet a terrifying cursed monster with some ridiculous purpose for being there and can't be hurt with physical attacks".
I then turned away from the door and started towards the path straight ahead from where I entered this intersection from.
Once I reached the intersection of paths , I turned left and entered the path with the dining room.
But as I passed the dining room I wanted to see what was in it , but I managed to resist temptation.
I didn't even look at the dining or door there but just kept going.
But after a bit of walking for a few minutes , I ran out of energy and the fire was extinguished without it's fuel , plunging me into darkness.
" So , like, how did my energy finish".
Because, I am very confused as to how it could finish. As aren't I just from sleeping , thus replenishing my energy.
After thinking that , I stared straight ahead for ten seconds expecting the answer to appear on a panel ,but nothing. So I started shifting my eyes in the darkness , looking for a gold and red panel with words, my answer , but just stared into darkness.
So I stood there for a minute more thinking that it is searching for the answer, but still it didn't appear.
Well , I wasn't expecting much of an answer but at least something minimal to hintbat it is fine , since I have my own thoughts about how it finished.
I just shrugged and continued walking , this time in darkness and my face facing down.
However, just after walking for a few minutes, I hit a wall and fell down on my butt .
I didn't immediately stand up , but after a few seconds I did .
I dusted my behind , and used the little energy I recovered in this small amount of time to make a small flame.
And yet again, it is bigger than I envisioned it to be , but I don't care. I don't have a lot of energy and want to conserve it in case something weird happens , so I made the flame smaller than it was at first and circulated energy very slowly, but efficiently.
So this is how I envision it to be.
I imagine an oil lamp or a small flame that is burning brightly . But after some time , they start running out of fuel. But then you give the oil lamp more oil and the fire more papers or something as flamable but lasts a bit long.
And since I am doing this process over and over again as slowly as possible, the remaining energy I have will last long.
And add this process to what my system calls Fast Energy Regeneration that it said I have , I will be gaining more Energy than I lose to the flame.
