Chereads / The System of Reincarnation / Chapter 9 - Sleepyhead

Chapter 9 - Sleepyhead

Turb suddenly collapsed in front of Kore and fell to the ground as his fire diminished. Kore tried standing up and, luckily, was barely able to do so thanks to his 10% buff to his stats. When he looked at Turb, it looked like he was just sleeping, like he was in his bed and had a long day behind him. He was snoring loudly, and Kore just thought that his roommates would have fun sleeping with him in the same room.

But not only Turb was sleeping. As he looked over to where Sleepyhead was, he was also sleeping. The only difference was that it looked like he had a nightmare or something like that. Kore knew that Sleepyhead probably did something to save Kore´s life because of the second message he got when Turb passed out. Kore only helped. He didn't defeat Turb.

Forgetting all these thoughts, Kore went over to Sleepyhead. He was thinking if it was really a good idea to wake him up because he was finally sleeping again. It was also pretty late in the night as Kore followed him around all day.

With that, Kore picked Sleepyhead up like a princess. He first tried to piggyback him, but he would just fall off too easily, so he decided it would be better to do it like this. It was a bit embarrassing for him, but as long as nobody saw it, it would be okay.

At least, that was his initial concern. He was barely able to lift himself off the ground. After he took the first step, he was already tired out. His body was just too weak right now. ´If I could just...' Kore thought while turning around and looking at Turb. Kore thought back when he reincarnated someone last time. There was a message that said his body and soul were healed. If he just killed Turb and let him reincarnate...

Kore quickly shook his head and let that thought fly away. There was another way he could get Sleepyhead to his room. He closed his eyes and concentrated. He slowly drained himself from his Mp and let it wander into Sleepyhead. Soon, when his Mp reached 1, a familiar message appeared.

[Your Mp reached a dangerous level]

[5% boost to all stats].

But another message appeared after that too.

[Your body and soul are out of control]

[All stats receive a 5% boost]

He felt very ill right now, with him being at the brink of death and having his MP nearly drained. Of course, the second message made him feel better as his stats now had a total of a 20% buff. It doesn't seem like much, but it was just enough for Kore to carry around Sleepyhead. It wasn't fast, but Kore slowly tried to go back to his room, where he would hopefully be able to get help from his other roommate.

It took about 15 minutes for Kore to arrive with Sleepyhead, when Zyn just laid in his bed looking at himself in his mirror again. When it disappeared from his hand again, Zyn stood up and panicked a bit, seeing Kore looking like he had just fought against a dragon.

"What happened to you?" Zyn asked. "You look really bad."

"It's okay," Kore answered, clearly lying. "Just help me and him get into our beds."

Hearing that request, Zyn took Sleepyhead and laid him on the lower part of the bunk bed, as it was easier to do that. After that, Zyn helped Kore get on the top part as he refused to lay himself down on his bed.

"I'm going to bring the school nurse here!" Zyn said, as he was already at the door. "Just wait here a bit."

"Wai-" Kore wanted to interrupt him, but Zyn quickly closed the door, probably knowing Kore didn't want that.

Soon after Zyn left, Kore began panting heavily. It seemed like he was bleeding somewhere in his body.

[Hp: 1/12]

Seeing his health go down just from him laying on his bed, he was sure it was that way. He just hoped Zyn made it quickly enough to him, even though the chances of that were slim.

Still heavily panting, Kore suddenly heard a familiar voice. "What a pain." It seemed like Sleepyhead woke up and looked at Kore for a while now without him realizing it.

"Can you just shut up?" Kore asked, "I was trying to save your sleepy ass there."

"And who asked you to do that?" Sleepyhead answered. "But I guess I can at least help you survive for doing that"

With that, Sleepyhead put the palm of his hand on Kore's forehead and finally answered to Kore, who was interrupted back then, "The name is Leo." Kore's body felt a bit weird and he suddenly fell asleep with a happy smile on his face.

[Hp: 10/12]

[Hp: 11/12]

[Hp: 12/12]

"Sorry, Kore," Zyn suddenly burst in while holding a first aid kit. "The nurse wasn´t the-"

"Shhh," Leo said to Zyn as he put his finger in front of his lips.
