[Ryujin's POV]
I only dreamt of playing with my pets during this lucid dream. It was a nice break for me after that battle. I have two cats and a dog.
I couldn't choose between cats and dogs. They're both cute, so I decided to keep 'em both. I could dream for any amount of time. That is why sometimes I would sleep for one week straight.
"Perhaps I should wake up now!"
I decided to wake up. When I opened my eyes. I saw a white ceiling. I looked around me. There was a nurse checking my vitals.
"Hello!" I called the nurse in a tired voice.
"Yahhh" She screamed. I scared the sh*t out of her She immediately rushed out of the room.
After a few minutes she returned with the doctor or should I say healer. She wasn't wearing a doctor's uniform. She was wearing some sort of armor. I looked at her uniform and I saw her logo. She was from the Ignis Guild.
The healer had yellow hair. Her eyes were gray color. She had a really nice body or should I say voluptuous body. She was wearing a blue colored t-shirt and white pants. It was not a normal shirt. It was properly coated with mana.
" She is probably in a relationship . I shouldn't look at her like that. " is what said in my head.
"Its a miracle that you woke up in just three days. Your body was miserable. Every bit of your body was burnt."
"You are suffering from mana exhaustion. Don't use your mana for one week. Do you understand?"
I only nodded. "By the way, can I go home now?"
The healer only sighed," Did you even hear what I said? You are suffering from mana exhaustion."
I tilted my head and asked her"But can't I move my muscles?"
"Haa! Children nowadays don't listen to the grownups. "She said that while shaking her head.
" I am 17. I am an adult now. " I replied to her with a smug on my face. Due to mana exposure the body of humans started maturing fast so once you reached 17 you would be considered an adult.
Yes, you can do adult stuff and by that I mean drink alcohol (get your mind out of the gutter).
The healer then looked at the vitals and my reports. " You can be discharged now. You really have good regeneration speed, but DON'T use your mana."
I didn't have good regeneration power. I had a cheat ability. Using Kairos, I quickly imparted my body's healing capabilities. If I had not done this, I would have been in the hospital for a month.
I didn't heal the mana exhaustion because it would make it look suspicious.
" You did well, so rest." The healer said with a gentle smile on her face.
I was confused. " What do you mean by that."
" Oh, that". She then picked up a remote and turned on the tv.
The footage of me saving people was being shown. The news announcer was praising me
The news announcer said. " As we can see a boy just saved more than 60 people. What a kid to be calm in this situation. According to the reports, the Saviour's name is Ryujin. He is the one of three human beings to have a
Nooo!!! Everything went wrong. I was so occupied that I forgot about the CCTV. Fortunately, only the video of me saving the people was released.Arthur must have altered the footage.
" Excuse me, but I would like be discharged as soon as possible." The healer nodded her head. By the time I was discharged it was already 9 am
Once I got out of the hospital bed. The staff provided me with five sets of clothes. Well the one I wore was not in a good condition. My hospital bills had been paid in advance. They even offered to take me home, but since the train was going to be quicker, I humbly rejected their offer.
******
As I was riding on the train I noticed some people staring at me. I would get started by a lot of people because I am handsome. I am not that type of guy who is oblivious of his own handsomeness. I pride myself on that.
However, this time they were staring at me as if they knew me. Well, I was on the tv.
Once I got off my station I bought a mask to cover my face because the stares started to annoy me a lot.
The city I live in was called Sunrise city.
You could probably reach Sunset city within 15 minutes on a train ride from here.
Before I went to my house, I visited the house of my neighbors who lived close by. I rang the door bell. Mr Dave opened his door.
" Hello Mr Dave."
"Oh! Ryujin come inside. "Mr Dave replied to me with a smile on his face
As I entered his house I was greeted by Mrs Luna. " Ryujin come inside, Have some snacks."
As she said that my pet cam rushing at me. My dog, Chip came rushing at me
. Chip was a golden retriever. He had a faint golden fur. He had brown eyes. As I picked him up, he started licking my face. On the other hand, my two cats Tuck and Kuro just rubbed their back on my feet.
Kuro had black fur and black eyes. Tuck had gray and black streaked fur and green eyes.
When I went on long journeys, Mr Dave looked after my pets. Mr. Dave and Ms. Luna are in their seventies. They are both A-rank retired heroes.
Mr Dave and Mrs Luna had black hair. Some of it was going gray. Mr Dave had brown eyes and Mrs Luna had green eyes. Mr Dave was shorter than Mrs Luna and she would always tease him about it.
Both of them were preparing snacks for us and they were wearing the pajamas I gifted them last year. They really are a happy couple
******
While we were eating, I noticed Mrs Luna had something on her mind.
Afyer eating snacks and talking for a while I bid them farewell, I said " Thanks you, Mr Dave and Mrs Luna for your help."
"It's ok, we always have fun when you bring these cute pets to play with me" Mrs Luna said while petting Chip's head.
I scratched my cheeks and said " I actually am fine Mrs Luna so please dont worry about me . I am quite strong as well."
As I said that I could see the relief in the Mrs Luna face. They had probably both seen me on television and worried about me.
******
As I reached home, I sat on my sofa while my pets went to sleep. I should head to work at 12 pm.
Hmm, aren't I forgetting something really important here. I tried to remember it for a solid 5 minutes.
Oh yeah the ring. God gave me the ring in my dream world and I kept the ring inside the drawer.
I opened my drawer and found the ring. I don't know how an item in my dream came into the real world, but it's the magic of God so it is possible.
I wore the ring and some messages appeared in front of me.
[Checking vitals status. Welcome Ryujin. I am a system built by God for you. I can communicate through message through this screen only. Telephatic communication with you is not possible due to your high mental fortitude. You can call me by speaking and telephatic message]
This was quite interesting than I thought. "System show me my stats." I was quite curious about my powers. Other humans could say 'Stats' and a window that they could only see would appear but my window never appeared. The only way I could see my status was through an appraisal device.

[The system cannot show divine ability as the power is incompressible to any rank and is not power given by God]
It was not just the system but any apprasial device cannot show
" System what does the question mark mean?"
[It means that your talent or ability is yet to bloom]
Wait a minute does that mean my intelliegnce still hasnt bloomed.Am I dumb or something?
"Hey system do you think I'm dum-"
As i was going to ask system. I heard my door bell. I looked at the small monitor attached to the side of my door.The monitor showed me the person at my door. Adam and two of my friends had come to visit me.
