"Atlanta.."
"Atlanta you have to wake up, he's coming." "Atlanta!"
"Ahh!" She screamed out loud from her sleep, jolting Rhoin who'd decided to take a little nap besides her not leaving her location.
"Calm down Atlanta.. am here for you. You're alright." He softly spoke, placing his hands on her shoulders calming her down a bit.
"T-thanks.." she thanked Rhoin and even shockingly hugged the latter, causing him to be stunned as he never expected this outcome.
"For everything.."
"You're welcome." He smiled hugging her back, gently brushing his hands against her back. He could hear stiffed sobs from her as he sensed she was crying, which made his heart sting more. Calming herself down, she then gently sat up straight with the help of Rhoin as her body still hurt all over.
"What happened?' She asked, staring at Rhoin for an answer. her head was kind of blurry right now, so she couldn't clearly recall what transpired while she's still in the fortifier.
"Wait.. you don't remember?" Rhoin was shocked, Atlanta didn't remember what just happened to her. He thought she pretended, but looking at her he could see she clearly was confused and didn't know what happened.
Judging from it, he guessed two factors caused this. First was the lengthy amount of time she spent in the fortifier, though he wasn't certain he'd read about the machine it's features and functions. He knew the longer a person stayed inside the more ion currents transferred to the brain, resulting in disorder or worst cases mental breakdown. Second was the trauma she'd went through in the fortifier. He didn't know how it felt to lose someone, or witness one's parent die before their eyes as he hadn't lost anyone. but still, that didn't mean he did not feel her pain. As a medical trainee and a friend, he knew trauma could do a lot of damage to oneself especially the mind.
"Ok.." he then told her everything that happened while she was still in the fortifier, with detailed explanation. Her eyes widen a bit sometimes, hearing the little tale Rhoin told she couldn't believe it.
She'd managed to pass the easy medium hard, and even unlocked a new stage in the fortifier. She didn't know if she was to feel happy or sad having broken the record, as she carefully listened.
"I can't believe I went through all that, and still can't remember anything."
"Yeah.. I know it's hard to believe but you stayed in there for a long time, and besides you went through some heartbreaking traumas." Thinking about it, Atlanta was undoubtedly shocked by all what happened while she was in the fortifier. Balls of tears streamed down her cheeks, remembering seeing her parents one last time.
[Host sadness level 64. Atlanta if it means anything to you, am sorry you had to go through all of that.] Nexus softly spoke in her head, causing her mood to lighten up a bit.
'Nexus, you're finally back.'
[Of course! I couldn't let a knuckle head like you to die.. that would make me a bad mentor.]
'That's new. I didn't expect you to possess a sense of humor.' Atlanta chuckled inwardly, sensing the hint of humor Nexus used in his tone.
[As I said earlier, am a self evolving system beyond human understand.] Nexus proudly proclaimed, causing Atlanta to roll her eyes a bit.
[And speaking of new I have a surprise for you.] Nexus said, and the next instance multiple system notifications flashed before her retaina.

Staring at the system notifications her jaw unknowingly dropped, as she couldn't believe what she was witnessing right now.
"Are you alright?" Rhoin asked concerned, seeing Atlanta's sudden change in expression.
"N-no.. am alright." She smiled a bit, making Rhoin concerns to diminish a bit. Calming herself down she tried not to scream, carefully reading the system messages filling her view.
'What the hell.. I-i levelled up 9 times?' Atlanta couldn't believe she'd managed to lv up 9 times, and even evolve to the next stage. Her head was hurting as she tried to process what she was seeing now, but the information was just too much causing her to have a sudden migraine.
'Status.' Not wanting to waste time, she called for her status telepathically as a new screen pulled up on her view.

Looking at the screen Atlanta was shocked to the core, her expression was left blank seeing her new status screen materialize in her gaze. She didn't know why, but she felt a cold wave wash over her as she read everything in her status panel.
'I-i.. my stats, they've improved.' She thought shocked, seeing her stats go up great amounts of points. She could also see her hp, energy, battle points and so on had added in numbers, with the addition of another icon which was termed system points.
Judging from the name, she had a preview of the description but she still wasn't sure yet, as she needed a lot of time to thoroughly go through them.
'I-i unlocked some skills.' She could see she'd unlocked three new skills, which were undoubtedly useful in their own ways. But she frowned a bit, noticing the increasing in the required energy and battle points for the activation of the skills.
Going down she could see she'd unlocked a new icon which was labeled weapons section, where she saw some weapons there mainly the one's she'd used in the fortifier. She didn't know how, but she wasn't sure about anything anymore. She also saw she'd unlocked the system shop, as valuable items were there along with the system store.
"Atlanta.." she immediately removed the screen from her view, as Rhoin's soft words pulled her out from her trance.
"Yes?" she softly said staring at Rhoin. she could see he was fidgeting a bit, his head bent down as he rolled his fingers together.
"I want to ask you a question, and I need you to be sincere with me." He said his tone becoming more serious, as he raised his head up staring into Atlanta's eye.
"What are you?"
