"How.. is this even possible.."I said to myself as those words were very quiet and seamless, in all of my previous rebirths, sure the plot had led out of its original story previously.
But it seemed as if the plot had changed significantly. Too much.
As I picked myself up, trying to pull over the drapes of the blanket and get out of bed.. I stumbled. As Kaden came to my aid immediately.. "Is there.. Something wrong about a month being passed?.."Kaden asked as the man caught on quickly.
Though Valerie jumped in, "Either way. The month of sleeping.. Deeply deteriorates your body.. Your abilities or at least physique must've decreased by now. Stay in bed.."Valerie said almost as if she was demanding that of me.
Rin walked by the taller women's side, a shot of a worried expression hit on Rin's facial features, by standing by Valerie, it was as if Rin agreed with Valerie's words.
I paused.
And a sigh left my mouth, "Can I get a mirror?.."I asked, raising confusion amongst the three, especially Kaden who was supporting me from even tumbling down.
As Rin scattered off to find a handheld mirror, "A.. Mirror, what would you even need that for?.."Valerie asked with suspicion raised in her eyes as well as a slight bit of confusion, Valerie was always the type to catch on quickly.. But even this left her confused.
I don't blame her, no character in the novel should have my abilities either, and they never had, what can you know about something if they never existed in your world anyways?
I pulled the mirror up to my face, it reads in a bright blue font:
// Aero Medevil's Status and Levels//
Current Status: Side Character
Lvl. 1089 (Strength)
Lvl. 1390 (Power)
Lvl. 1122 (Agility)
Lvl. 1019 (Stamina)
Abilities:
Lvl.89 (Blood Prophet) NEW!
The blood prophet ability was in a different color font, one of a bright red and a 'New' at the side, but my thoughts drift off to the current status as well, i held the blood prophet ability.
But why is the level already so high? I did nothing while i was sleeping, and my other physical stats had accumulated more levels.
Even with the ability, I was still the side character, I guess super overpowered side characters do exist.
"No i'm fine, just a little tired.."I stated blatantly as i gave back the mirror to Rin, but even with the status's reassurance, i could feel my legs shaking so much so that if Kaden were to let me go right now, i'd fall down pretty mercilessly.
As Valerie was going to refute the claim from my clearly shaking legs, Kaden took me by the torso and laid me back onto the bed.. What?..
"Your status may look exemplary.. But your legs keep shaking so obviously, and my lie detector already detected a lie.. Now rest.."Kaden said almost demandingly if it weren't for his gentle and soft spoken tone towards me.
I was speechless, the blue haired and usually kind and gentle male lead that I knew.. Were being this insistent to me getting rest?.. What value did I even bring to the male lead?..
"He's right.. I might not be able to see your status.. But it doesn't matter if you're this weak.."Valerie elaborates as she pulls up the blanket onto my torso.
"But- what if there's any big monsters or creatures that you guy's can't defeat.."I argued, as Valerie looked over to Kaden shaking her head.
Her arm leaned against Kaden's shoulder, "This.. 'hero' here can defeat it..his stats from his own information is one of the highest i've ever seen after all.."Valerie said with almost a teasing tone, though to disregard all of it, Kaden's eyes just looked like a whirl of worry.
For the main character's sake.. I dropped it. As a sigh left my mouth.
"Right.. But I'm not going to be bedridden longer than 3 days okay?.."I insisted.
"Four days,"Kaden responded.
"Bu-"
"Trust us Aero.. you're not the only strong one here.."Valerie replied with a confident grin.
That sentence.
A feeling of familiarity and deja vu was estranged around those words.
I felt an urge to not trust those words, every single fiber and muscle in my body were screaming at me to not comply.
I grit my teeths, "2 days.. That's it."I concluded, the tone of my voice held a certain aroma of seriousness, but especially fear.
An emotion I barely expressed ever in my rebirths, never..never did I open up much of my emotions till this moment.
"Aero you can't do that.. You can't.."Kaden replied, his voice much more composed and calmer with the notice of the fear in my eyes.
Before I snapped back into reality, "Forget it.. I'll rest for four days.. Or whatever.."I replied, my tone turning back to normal. It was back to its blunt and emotionless feeling.
------
It's been a day, my eyes stared up at the ceiling.. My body couldn't forget that feeling of the 'urge', it was as if my natural instincts were screaming at me to not comply with Valerie's demands..
And well sure I may have promised to rest for four days..
My eyes seer through the dark sky, not a sound of a single cricket or cicada, most bugs or animals were rid of from the intense red rain.
It's not like I was actually going to rest for four days though. What's a lie if it's to protect others?
My legs sink down to the floor, the cold wood flooring against my rested legs. My hand pressed against the cold steel clear doors.
I groaned at the thought of having to do work again, even more upset at the smell of outside. 'Fresh air'.. It smells like rotten animals. A whisper could be heard. One singular whisper.
I stared down at the short balcony, it was only 10-15 feet away from the dirt ground, my legs ledged towards the air as my bottom sat readily on the railings.
My fingers thoughtlessly let go.
I heard one word before I jumped off the railings, "Aero!.."A familiar voice screaming along with a hand that was outstretched to me.
