2:20 am - Hospital
The emergency doors suddenly opened, with a stretcher being pushed by some people.
On the stretcher were a body lying down, with some straps tying his arms and legs and a cervical collar lifting his head slightly. On top of the body, there was a fireman doing CPR.
"Call the head of cardiology! We have a young man who had a heart attack, followed by a sudden cardiac arrest. He came out of a fire and needs emergency surgery!" The fireman shouted at one of the emergency nurses there.
He soon got off the stretcher, being replaced by another nurse.
"Bring him over here!" The local nurse began to guide the firefighters to the emergency operating room.
"Call the head of cardiology! We need-"
The nurse's orders were interrupted when another stretcher was pushed through the emergency door. This time, a completely charred body entered. The smell of burning skin spread through the emergency room.
"My God! Call the chief of general surgery too!"
The charred body was taken to another emergency room. His breathing was almost stopping and he needed urgent treatment.
After a while, in both rooms, two doctors entered and began procedures for emergency surgery. Nurses who were there, in which only a few were selected, entered the room.
A doctor came into the room where the body was in cardiac arrest. His posture was proud and he seemed to be very skilled. Her face had oriental features, more specifically Japanese, and she was very beautiful.
"Dra. Cristina, the patient had a heart attack, followed by a sudden cardiac arrest. He came out of a fire just now, in an attempt to save the patient from the next room. " A nurse who was in the room, also preparing for surgery, informed the doctor.
A little impressed, the doctor asked: "How old?"
"16"
"It looks like we have a hero here, so let's not let him down. Let's start!"
Thus, two emergency surgeries started to happen.

'Where am I? What happened?' Arthur, who was in a completely dark place, suddenly woke up. He didn't remember going to sleep, much less passing out.
After looking around for a while, all Arthur saw was darkness. One of the kind that even if the light touched, it would not fall apart.
This scene was somewhat familiar to Arthur. Something similar happened, some time ago.
'Another system challenge? But I don't remember hearing any warnings. ' Doubts began to form in Arthur's mind.
While he was thinking, the voice suddenly sounded.
""Stop it!! I beg you, please !!"" A high-pitched cry, with a tearful and anguished tone. It was a girl's voice.
""Don't think you're going to escape too, Arthur!"" A thick voice echoed through the void as well. His tone was lustful and bizarre.
""Finish it soon, you useless! Do you think I have plenty of time ?!"" Another female voice, but this time as an adult, also sounded. His tone was proud and casual.
"What??" This time it was Arthur, who did not understand where those voices were coming from.
At the same time, the same voices began to sound through the empty space, only this time more louder.
""If it were to take care of a useless person like you, I would rather have left you in the trash where you came from!"" The woman's voice sounded again.
""Don't talk about him like that !!"" That childish female voice sounded again.
""Shut up, you little bitch !!!"" The man shouted, his voice a little drunk.
Paa!!
A loud slap sound rang through the void.
"What's going on? Those voices !!" Arthur's mind started to ache, as did his heart.
His eyes widened, emitting an unparalleled panic, and his body went into a fetal position, covering the ears with his hands.
Just a few words come out of your mouth:
"Not again, not again, not again, not again, not again ..."
But even that was not enough to stop the voices.
""Today you're going to be beaten like you've never been beaten before, you little piece of shit !! "" the male voice sounded, much more drunken than the other time.
Paa! paaa! paa!!
Sounds of a belt hitting the meat rang through the dark place.
As if with him, three bloody marks hit Arthur's back. His fetal position changed and became like a leaf when fell from the tree.
"Aargh!" The expression of panic faded a little while Arthur became irritated with each lash.
""Stop it now!"" That childish voice sounded again in the room.
Along with the voice, Arthur felt a warm hug. There was no body hugging him, but the feeling was there.
It was such a good feeling and it refreshed him. It also smelled sweet. He didn't want that hug ever go away.
""Get out of here, you little bitch !! Learn to respect your parents!"" The male voice sounded again, with very apparent anger.
The feeling of the hugg on Arthur was gradually fading. With him, despair was returning, and he didn't want that to happen.
"Stop! Don't go !!" His attempt to grab something that wasn't even there was completely useless.
Immediately, the expression on his face went from pain to hate.
"Bring her back! BRING HER BACK !!!" His hatred reached impressive heights, causing the silent environment to be full of noises.
The voices did not return, and only an angry Arthur was there.
Without Arthur realizing it, the darkness, which was in the distance, began to gather and form a type of spear, which was gradually approaching him. This spear was aimed directly at Arthur's heart.
Unlike before, Arthur was no longer blinded by hatred, but he tried to find in that darkness the voice and feeling that he wanted to find again.
Meanwhile, the spear was getting closer and closer, without alerting Arthur's senses.
As soon as the spear almost touched his heart, Arthur immediately put a hand to stop it.
"What do you want?" Arthur's irritated expression softened and a calm expression was put in place.
... Silence.
For Arthur's question, all that was received was silence.
"Answer!!" Arthur's irritated aura began to spread around the place, causing the spear to tremble slightly.
The darkness began to shake, and to fade in front of Arthur, heading towards the spear. The spear trembled more and more, receiving all that darkness.
It started to come to life and try to move from Arthur's hand. The grip was getting stronger and stronger, so as not to let it go.
This battle of resistance continued for a while, until the spear could not take it any longer and stopped.
"But what-" Arthur didn't have time to finish, when the spear suddenly started to shake, as if it were getting out of control.
Several parts of the spear began to crack, as if something was going to hatch from there.
Crack! Crack!!! Boom!!
As soon as the spear cracked completely, an explosion of darkness occurred, causing the place to return to pure black.
Arthur was also drowned in that darkness and disappeared.
