1 in 10,000" Vier clung on to a single thread, all of his vital organs had completely been destroyed and pierced. "1..."
'HP: 21/500'
'Do You Wish To Use [Alteration]? Cost: 1 ABS Token.'
Vier didn't know what was happening, he was in so much pain he was completely numb. All he could make out was the blurry figure of something blue and electricity sparking from it.
Vier used all his strength and lifted his finger, pressing the [Yes] button.

Suddenly, a large green aura lifted Vier into the air. "This, this feels strange." His wound started to close up and the cuts and bruises he had sustained started to heal. "It's, refreshing." Suddenly, he lost consciousness, his head knocking against the floor.

Vier and Lynn are now at the back of the school near the pond.
"Why do I always have to do this?" Vier sat on a stack of bricks, holding a stick and playing with the fishes inside the pond. "The school hates me."
"YOU IDIOT!" Lynn threw a notebook at Vier's head. "If it weren't for you, I would've been screwed. Stop trying to be so sad!" Lynn picked up the notebook. "Here."
A singular leaf fell into the pond, breaking the tension.
Vier let out a deep sigh.
"You've got a competition tomorrow right?" Lynn squat down, down to Vier's level. "I'll be there cheering for you, don't be nervous." She placed her hand on Vier's shoulder. "I promise." Vier placed his hand on the back of her head. Their grips tightened, almost as if they were trying to pull one another closer.
The sweet aroma of the flowers filled the air behind the school where they were. They stared into each other's eyes; their eyes reflecting the sunset that loomed over them. As the sun came closer to the horizon, so did their lips. Their skin illuminated by the clear blue sky.
"I love you." Vier pulls her closer, their lips inches away from making contact.
The moment before they kissed was a fraction of a second, yet it felt like an eternity. The wind blowing on Lynn's luscious red hair.
"I love you too." Their lips made contact.

"Hey! HEY! HEEEEEEY!" Nuki was slapping Vier's face. "WAKE UPP!" Nuki was practically bawling her eyes out.
"Can't you just let a man die?" Vier said sarcastically as he was laying down on the marble floor. "You ended my good dream."
"HP: 146/500'
"NOOOO!" Nuki was throwing a tantrum and throwing her hands wrecklessly at Vier. "What's with your hair!? It looks ugly!"
"My hair?" Vier placed his hand on his head. "Huh," He looked down onto the marble floor that reflected his reflection. His entire hair had turned white and his eyes had turned a dreamy green. "Woah, I look..." Vier was stunned at his own appearance. "Super fucking hot, that's what I look like."
"You made me so scared!!!" Nuki was still throwing her arms at Vier.
"Anyways, what happened-" Vier turned around, a giant skeleton resembling that of a dragon was laying on the throne, it's ribcage covering the treasure. "What. Happened."
"Oh, after I thought you died I stabbed the dragon with the shears. After I put it in it went like BAM! and then BOOM! And then there was electricity that went like ZAP!" Nuki had completely forgotten about what happened, instead acting out what had happened.
Vier smiled, "You did well kid." He placed his hand on Nuki, giving her a head pat. Nuki didn't expect this coming from Vier, she had pouted and had puffed cheeks, as if she didn't want a head pat. "Well, shall we see what we got?" Vier got up. However, as soon as he got up, he started to feel dizzy and drowsy, when he placed his hand on his knee, it started to shake and shiver.
"I'll do it." Nuki waddled towards the treasure, opening it.
'White Eye Frost Dragon Sub Tower: Defeated. Rewards: 100 Points. Items Gained: Token Of Immortality (Legendary). Dragon's Breath (Legendary). 82x Frost Scales. Frost Dragon's Helmet (Legendary).

"This... THIS WILL MAKE US RICH!" Vier scrolled through his inventory.
"WAAAHHH!" Nuki started crying.
"What's wrong?" Vier stood up, this time he could.
"I only got 1 item!" Nuki was holding up a key by it's string. The key had a weird shape and look, as if it were meant for several doors.
"Say, do you think that may be... The dungeon's skeleton key?" Vier could sense the menacing aura that was radiating off it.
"But... but I want armor!!!" Nuki started stomping around.
"I'll give you it for the key." Vier held up the chestplate. It was adorned in the dragon's scales, shining in the light.
"REALLY?" Nuki's eyes glittered and lit up.
"Yeah." Vier handed over the armor, taking the key from her.
"King's Long Everlasting Empire." It was engraved on the side of the key. He thought of it as a weird coincidence. Vier walked around the skeleton of the dragon, to the other side. Sticking out of the bone was his shears. "There you are." He ripped it out and checked it.
'[Shears] Strength: 1. Durability: NIL. Enchantments: [String Of Life's Curse] [Atropos' Touch] [Unbreakable] [Wielder's Oath]. Trapped Souls: White Eyed Frost Dragon.'
On the shears was a blue gem that radiated a weird aura, the same aura that the dragon emitted.
"1 in 10,000. You're not that bad." He placed his hand on the gem.

"AHHHH!" The dragon cried out. It's flesh and skin is being torn apart bit by bit, starting from the wound of the shears.
'99999999999999999999999999999 Damage.'
The dragon disappeared in nearly an instant.

Vier let go of the gem. He had just witnessed the memory of the dragon. He rubbed his eyes and placed the shears into his inventory. "That's enough shit for one day." He stood in the middle of the corridor. Behind him was the carcass of a massive dragon, the tiles and walls of the hall were destroyed and broken. He stood, with scars riddling his entire body, victorious.
