"Ughh" Victor groaned as he put his hands on his head in pain, he then opened his eyes slowly to meet the head of his mother laying by his side sleeping soundly but as he moved on the bed she quickly sprang up to see that her boy was awake, she quickly called the doctor who quickly came in checking Victor's heartbeat, his eyes and everything he needed to check. And he was then asked you okay!!" "do you feel alright Mr Victor?" he replied "Yes I do feel alright but for this little pain I feel in my head". " Okay I will be prescribing you some pain relievers if it's nothing more than that. "Mr Victor could you follow me down to the hospital's cafeteria because some people would meet you," the doctor said " Umm please could you call me Victor I'm barely 19, and of course, l have time for something as little as that " Victor said getting up the bed waiting for the doctor to lead the way.

_ As they walked down, the doctor asked questions on how he had discovered such miraculous methods to bring the dead to life again of which Victor had no answers the doctor kept asking more and more questions until they finally got to the cafeteria of the hospital which was pitch black until the voices in the dark shouted "THANK YOU MR VICTOR!!!! " and as Victor looked around they were all the people he had remembered healing surprisingly two years ago, he was in yet another coma that lasted two years as he had learnt from his mother On their way to the meal area, he also learned things had vastly changed in just the two years that he was in a coma. He learnt that shortly after he was in the coma that suddenly something like a portal opened up at City A and that monsters started pouring out from it killing people and destroying everything they saw in front of them and that also, something very interesting had happened the so-called heroes suddenly lost their powers and that some people were being randomly picked up from the ground into a dark void not to be seen again until four days later they appear again saying that they had been taken to a training ground to train and that those that passed the test were given powers and we're divided into five classes which were Tank, Mage, Healer, Assassin and Attack._

__

_And thanks to these people City A was safe but the appearance of those portals didn't end there, even more, began to show up but this time, the monsters remained inside the portals which were now being called dungeons by the people who were chosen because it looked or felt like a game but to those who were not chosen it surely wasn't one. And as time went by, more people were chosen._

_Victor just stood where he was shocked when he heard that amongst those he healed, even people who had serious life-threatening diseases that couldn't be cured were cured and we're waiting for the day he would finally be awoken from the coma, today they had all Contributed to making what he was seeing possible. They had transformed the whole meal area just for him a huge banner was hanging across the large room and a special seat was at the middle of the whole room and they had even gone as far as hiring his favourite musician to visit him, it was all he could ever ask for and to top it all up they came with gifts to give to him. They led him to his seat and one by one started giving him his gifts with his mother just smiling at a corner proud of her son. _

No matter how appealing all the gifts were he could not bring himself to accept them so he simply turned them down but thanked the people giving them to him.

_"Uggh" the party is finally over mom, can we go home now I'm so tired, Victor said turning_to his mother who had been waiting for him just next to him with a murderous smile, it was so clear that she was angry with her son for turning down those gifts." why did he have to turn down such good things when he knows that we are in dire need of them," she thought to herself while she led the way to their old van It was a very long boring drive, Victor then broke the silence by saying "mom I want to be a player" with a shocked face his mom said "what!!" he replied "yes mom I was chosen so I want to become a player " Victor said bluntly "Do you even realize how dangerous that is you could lose your life in one of the thos dungeons" his mom said he replied "I know this but something keeps telling me to got stronger and the only way is through those dungeons, so I want to become a player" Victor said his mom was totally confused "has her son finally gone mad?" she asked herself "why will he think of that out of all things?" but then she thought of what good things could be gained when a group can conquer a dungeon (clear a dungeon) and again the risk of losing her son was still there "No"!! she said plainly "than..." said Victor wanting to say thanks to his mom before he realized what she said "what mom please why the hell are you saying no?" "you know that with this I will be able to change the face of our family why no!!" Victor said shouting until he was shot by a slap from his mom on the face "No!! and I hope this is the last time you bring up something like this in front of me", his mom said, and that was the first time she had ever slapped him Victor just kept quiet and sat still in the car until his mom turned lovingly at him and said "honey you should know that everything thing I do for you is just to protect you and also from what I've said earlier you should know how dangerous these dungeons are I'm sorry I slapped you but please "re.... Ahhhhh ...." boom!!! Roar!!! "run everyone run a dungeon has opened up run!!! Victor heard a voice saying as he was trying to raise the steel that was pinning him down in one place "Monst...argh he heard another voice screaming in pain, there was screaming everywhere, he had to get free and help his mom, he was surprised as to how easily he got free from the steel car frame that was holding him in place and as to how quickly his injuries healed, but he didn't take them seriously, he had to save his mom, he just bent down trying to find his mom in the rubbles "No!!No!!No!! this can't be Mom!!Mom!!" Victor shouted, her head was shattered on the steel frame, she was gone immediately as the years started to build in his eyes, anger started to build inside him "that damned monster where the fuck is it!!" he shouted standing on his feet and looking around angry his bright blue eyes quickly turning red from anger his long hair floating.
