Eiko waking up to see the others deliberating on the matter was quick to pick up on it. Unlike the others, he was the least shocked about the new prompts that had appeared. What he found confusing though was the race and class. And this was the one thing they all shared in common.

"Hmmm, it seems hitting the level ten mark did come with it's improvements. Though I can't explain the race and class thing. The rest of the things here are pretty old to me" Eiko thought to himself and somewhat smiling at the end.
What he was implying was the attributes displayed by the system. He was definitely not a stranger to such kind of display. Matter of fact, he found it to be old styled and thought it could have been better designed. But unlike the rest, he didn't bother spending time on what he didn't understand and straight away swung into action.
"I really don't wanna find out what the system means by pain" Corey stated and the others for a moment looked at him and thought he worried too much. Given his size and stature, he could very well be the youngest of them. And with his constant acts of childishness, they were all beginning to think towards that direction as well.
"I mean, you are kind of right. We do know it gives rewards, I don't see why it can't give punishments. I suggest we spend less time debating about this and instead try to find the others and maybe while at it we get some steps in" Eiko negotiated his way with the others.
"Yeah, that makes sense but who would look after them" Johan said looking at the two that were yet to wake up. As much to his surprise, Blaze had gotten up. And it didn't seem like it happened too long ago as she looked Daze and sat on a rock examining herself. The ones being referred to by Johan were none other than Rodney and of course Mia.

A notification similar to the others had appeared in front of Blaze. And of course she was the only one who could see it. The system was somehow made to work that way. Truthfully, she was glad she was the only one who could see the notification as right now she was shocked beyond words. Her name was completely etched on the screen. And no, not the name the others knew her by, her actual name which went by, "Kim Jakes".
She had always hated the name. She felt it made her look more feminine than she already was. And she was the kind to always want that strong outlook for herself. In a nutshell, she was more or less a girl wishing to be looked at as a strong being. Yes, not strong girl or lady, just a being with no gender of any sort attached to her. To her, associating oneself with a gender only led to limitations. And how she hated limitations. But she had no time to curse at the system for bringing her secret to light. As now she too had also received the notification for the daily quest.
"Hey Blaze, you wanna go out for a run?" Johan asked scratching the back of his head. Truthfully it was difficult for anyone of them to talk to Blaze without literally getting drowned in her beauty. But most of the time what had gotten them through is the fact that she would rarely look at who was talking to her and just gave a reply instead.
"Sure" Blaze replied and had gotten up on her feet. And as they stood deliberating who would stay behind and look out for the two still asleep, a figure they thought they wouldn't see again walked in.
"I see you are all awake" Yang said but then looking around to see Mia and Rodney still asleep went on to say "...well..most of you".
" Where did you go.. We would have appreciated an extra pair of hands you know?" Corey said with frustration and anger clearly showing on his face. He wasn't to blame as regarding the incident the previous day. They all felt Yang had abandoned them. And with the way the situation presented itself, it was going to be a tough one convincing them it wasn't so.
"I'm sorry, but I ran into trouble myself. It was all a big mistake. If you guys need to do something I suggest you go now. We will be moving out soon" Yang said and walked past them going to where Mia and Rodney laid.
"The journey isn't going to be an easy one with you two asleep. I can sense you will soon be back to normal" Yang said placing his hand on Mia's head. "You, your case is quite difficult" Yang said without even placing his hands on Rodney. It was like there was no need to as he could see there was still no changes physically. Rodney still looked as pale as ever. And even Yang knew there was nothing he could do to help other than allowing him rest and recover naturally.
This was because without touching Rodney he could sense the strong Aura around him. " Your body needs time to adjust to this energy. I don't know how but you are actively draining out energy and drawing it back simultaneously all while asleep. While this is spectacular, its how long this circle will last that I worry about" Yang thought.
But seeing that the entire situation was under control, the others left Yang to tend to Rodney and Mia who were still asleep. But few minutes after they had left the cave to go get their daily quests done, Mia had gotten up with a scream.
"Arrrhh!!!!" Mia screamed out. And very quickly Yang rushed over to her to meet a frightened looking girl darting her eyes about. And as soon as she met eyes with Yang she grabbed Yang by the sleeves and began to weep. At that moment, Yang was left helpless and his flaws were quite visible. It was clear he had no idea how to go about the situation as he stared at the crying girl who still held on to his hand.
"Tell him..tell him...I don't wanna be his...I really don't wanna..." Mia kept on repeating these words. And again, Yang was left totally confused and helpless.
Meanwhile Corey, Blaze, Eiko, and Johan were seen standing in the middle of a cleared out area. And they were all staring at one thing.
"Erwin...." Eiko said face palming himself.
