My head was clouded with thoughts.

The room was silent as all of us tried to come up with a way to escape the school.

"We can take my car, it is big enough to hold us all"

"That is a good idea", I said following it up with a "But what do we do if we meet a monster on the way like a troll?"

"A troll?" asked Jiwoo confused. Michel explained how a troll looked much to Jiwoo's and the nurse's horror.

"We need to get to the parking lot safely" said Ryan getting a nod from us all.

"Can't we use the bombs against the monsters?" asked Michel reminding me of the bombs.

"Where did you get those bombs," I asked, prompting Ryan to reply that the nurse made them, directing all the attention to the nurse.

"How did you make them?" I asked with much suspicion, how could a normal nurse know how to create bombs?

I couldn't help but feel everything was suspicious, I couldn't help but feel that I was lost in my own delusion as I could still not accept the reality.

"They are called Molotovs, I made them with the alcohol I had and used my lighter to fire them"

I decided to calm my suspicions down so that I could focus on staying alive for now.

"The bombs can harm us too, they are a two-sided sword. We need to be careful with the use" said Ryan prompting me to nod.

Though I did not want to, I had to come to terms with the fact that my sister was no longer alive. It was hard but staying alive was my priority.

"Sitting around thinking what to do will not get us anywhere, first we need to get ourselves into shape. We will use the points we have gathered till now to lower our fatigue and improve our skills," I said followed by a "Good idea!" by Michel.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

There was a pause but everyone nodded in agreement soon after.

I increased all my stats to 36 with the points I had gained by killing the monsters, each goblin gave me 400 points, unlike in the interval where the monsters gave no points.

I decreased my fatigue to 40 from 70, I looked around and found everyone staring into space except Jiwoo who was quite confused by everyone's actions. "Say status," I told him.

He was confused but he did as I told only for him to be surprised as he too stared into space.

I couldn't help but look at the skills window. I thought of the word 'skills' and to my surprise, the window popped open much to my surprise, that was when I realised just thinking about the window opens it.

[ Skills: Berserker, Eye of God, [][][][][][][], Ruler of the dead, Tamer, Apprentice archer]

I looked closely at the tab and next to all the skills was a level with a lock symbol.

and under the tab, in very small letters was: needs trial 10 to unlock. Special conditions must be met to use the skills.

As kept staring at the window trying to comprehend the use of the skills all of a sudden I saw the 'Eye of god' twitch, I looked at it closer when all of sudden the words started to move up and down going in and out of existence.

As I kept looking, I could in the corner of my view a shadowy figure, I turned to look only to find the place empty.

I stumbled back as I looked at the empty office, Ryan, Michel, Jiwoo and the nurse were no longer there.

I looked around in a frenzy when the voice spoke once again. "Welcome" it said causing me to panic.

"Where am I? " I asked, "You are in your mind space" it said as my own image formed in front of me.

It wore all white clothes which were a bit revealing to my taste, it wore gold chains that decorated it from head to toe, it looked like an angel from above, which caught me by surprise.

"We need to discuss something very important" is said in a hushed voice, "I don't have much time" it continued.

"The eye of god will let you use your skills even before the 10th trial" it said as it placed it's finger on my lips. "No, questions, we don't have time" it whispered in my ear.

"The eye of god is an innate skill which let's you appraise anything and everything when you use it, it will be rather taxing on your body so remember to use it only when needed and not all the time. The skill of course had more uses than just that but obviously you are not yet capable of using it so I will not be briefing you on that just yet."

"I obviously did not summon you here to talk about a skill which you could have figured out yourself, if that is what you are thinking. You seem to have forgotten our purpose, taken by your measly relationship with a mortal of all things."

It leaned in closer as it said "Our only purpose is it save others, and stay alive to save more, you might not know why but that is our destiny remember that well"

As it finished its sentence I was back with everyone looking at my skill window which now only read, 'Skills can be used when special conditions are met' and the eye of god skill was no longer listed.
