After Thomas wakes up in a hospital bed, his body is in a full-body cast in pain as he feels strange things in his body after he tries to move and is in a bit of panic from the last thing he remembers is what happened in the Doom portal setting off a machine. To his side, two nurses run into him, trying to get out of bed. Both try to calm Thomas down, but they have to give him an injection to Thomas with something to calm him down before he passes out again. He wakes up a bit later to find a doctor looking over something on a tablet before he sees that Tomas is awake. The male doctor looked like he was in his 50s or older. He was of average height with a pale skin tone, with a couple of streaks of white in his hair and on the man's mustache. However, the black hair was still there with eyes that had seen horrors of the distant past but masked with a kind eye and smile; he said, "Hey there, kid, I was looking over your medical charts! On my tablet," he stop looking at how to say his following words "umm kid?" then he takes a quick look down on his tablet."ju-" Thomas says "I go by my middle name" I a quiet tone the doctor says "Thomas well how do I put it your body is well... is infected by a magical plant that's never been seen before" Thomas "WHAT!-" The doctor raised his hand and said, "Let me continue, please!" Thomas takes a deep breath and nods before letting the doctor continue to speak, "After the plant's seeds have been planted inside your body, it has fused with specific organs and bones like your spine and... your heart. It has turned most of the muscles and tissues they are connected to have turned black in color and been harder to cut."Thomas puts a hand over his heart before letting out a deep breath. The doctor says," Life support has kept you alive for the last couple of days you have been out. We tried to remove them with essential tools, but they broke on them, and we tried to cut the flesh around them out on the seeds, non-vital area." the doctor pulled out a black almond-looking seed with black-looking roots in a petri dish. Thomas gets the strange urge to eat it when he looks at it. " Still, the other seeds reacted by sprouting some roots into or around the spot they have fused with, especially with your heart; the roots affect your heartbeats until we cut them away. Still, the roots keep growing until they stop strangling your heart. "Thomas's face turns pale at that news. "They... seem to be a bit aware of your body's needs after a day of trying to kill you and us trying to remove them. They try to improve your body by fusing your bloodstream and the root system to carry your blood. Still, it infected it with some form of mana that turned the blood black. It has beneficial and adverse effects. Carrying around mana around your body gives it a lot of nutrients. Still, it spreads the black seeds effect around your body, turning normal muscles into black versions. We have scanned your body and found only rare plants with light/holy effects can suppress the black seeds and turn the affected muscles back to normal! The plants need to be in good condition, plus some more common herbs, before being brought to a place to make them into pills for you to use. Still, I said the plants need to have a rare light or holy effect, for the main ingredients there costly to get without these pills to stop the spread of the seeds. You only got maybe a year two. If you're lucky with the pills, you can live a normal life. I highly suggest you take it easy for two weeks or more until your body can let you walk again ." the doctor sighed before saying, " I know it's a lot to take in but know that your friend wasn't in as bad as condition as you when you came here you most of them have been sent home only one is still here. Still, he should be out in a day or two." the doctor looks at Thomas and ask, "Do you have any questions?" Thomas's head was spinning so much he didn't know where to start. His body felt like it had been run over by a car, plus all the info the doctor had dropped on him; he... just wanted to sleep for a bit and wake up from this nightmare. The doctor looked at Thomas before coughing to get his attention. "It's okay; take your time. You can use a call button to call a nurse, and she can get me to answer the question you ask about staying here for the next couple of weeks." Thomas just lay there in the hospital bed with a headache from the info he got before. He just wants to sleep to get rid of the pain his body is feeling. For the next couple of days, all Thomas did sleep was wake up, go to sleep eat until around a week passed, Thomas's friends came by to see him from time to time. After this week, he could walk with a cane. It wasn't easy to walk with, but over another week, he could get around the hospital pretty easily now he didn't need help from a nurse. One day, Thomas was walking around the hospital to a nearby park to relax and exercise before going back to his room, but as he walked, an alarm started to ring throughout the hospital before the space next to Thomas started to shake and twist before a Doom portal opened up and swallowed Thomas whole as Thomas opens his eyes he saw a large jungle
