'It's Dark'
'The last thing I can remember was that Tenshu guy giving us our abilities' Hazuki Thought to himself
Opening his eyes Hazuki found himself gazing up at the night sky.
Staring at stars in the sky he thought to himself
'I've never seen the stars so clearly'
His eyes lit up and he revelled in his situation for a moment.
He hadn't been bored since he died.
Remembering his friends he sat upright and took in his surroundings.
He was lying in a field surrounded by thick trees.
Isamu, Haruto, and Kenji were all sparse about still asleep.
He took another moment to compose himself before pushing himself to his feet.
It was nighttime time yet he could still see clearly.
Probably because of his new ability he thought to himself.
'If this is like a game. There should be a status or something'
As he thought that, a transparent blue window appeared in front of him.

After getting a brief overview of everyone's stats Hazuki decided to wake everyone up.
Starting with Kenji. Hazuki walked over, kneeled, and shook him awake.
"Huh?" Kenji reacted in confusion "Where is the guy? The one in the suit?"
Sobering, he pushed himself into a sitting position and scanned his surroundings.
The sun started to illuminate everything as it rose.
"So it wasn't a dream" Kenji stated
"Yeah, Even better try saying Status" Hazuki responded to Kenji
"Status"
"Sweet It really is like a game," Kenji said
"I woke you up first. Now you gotta help me wake the other two" Hazuki replied while getting back up and walking over to Isamu
"Ok. Give me a second I'm reading all this. Hey did you know if you tap on the skills it gives a description?" Kenji replied
"No. Thanks for the info" Hazuki said in a raised tone as he got more distant from Kenji
"Hey Isamu wake up," He said shaking him side to side
Whilst this was happening Kenji got up and started toward Haruto
"Wha. Where am I?" Isamu said drowsily
"Don't know, Forest Clearing of sorts" Hazuki replied with hesitance
"Shit, Is everyone alright?" Isamu said as he rubbed his eyes
"I don't think anyone's dead," Hazuki said with uncertainty
"Help me up, please. Let's go check on the others." Isamu asked
Isamu and Hazuki walked over to where Kenji and Haruto were chatting.
"So what's the plan," Isamu asked
Kenji and Haruto turned their heads toward the approaching two whilst Harutoi responded with
"I don't know yet. I have to figure out this system thing. It would be super helpful to have an inventory."
"I think that we gotta find shelter and food first" He continued after thinking for a moment.
A light golden yellow coating illuminated all surroundings.
"Let's search the clearing first and if we don't find anything of value we can head into the forest in search of supplies," Hazuki said after a long pause
The clearing was around the size of a small park with ~20 cm long blades of grass carpeting the ground with a surrounding dense forest of towering trees.
Isamu started off first. He shuffled through the grass as he wandered toward the forest edge.
Hazuki and Haruto split up and headed in different directions while Kenji remained seated in the grass.
Unaware of the objective of this search Hazuki stumbled toward the edge of the forest before noticing subtle movement from a bordering bush.
Remembering his previously used skill he activated his analysis skill once more.

A small and pale rabbit with a conelike horn positioned upon its forehead sat below the bush nibbling on fallen leaves.
Had it yet noticed the blatant Hazuki it would have fled.
Acgologing his current situation he decided to catch said rabbit.
He thought of how to catch it yet drew a blank.
Switching up his attention he opened his status window and looked toward his skills.

Hazuki was in shock. He didn't expect it to just die.
Even more so he was terrified. He and his friends only had 100hp.
If his skill could kill something with 60 in less than a second. How quickly could they die?
It wasn't even something he wanted to think about in this situation.
"Status," Hazuki said firmly

All of his physical stats increased by two and he had 10 stat points to boot.
Two stats that were 0 had gained a point each. Resistance and magic defense had risen.
He didn't yet know what these did. However, any improvement should be good improvement in this situation.
His body felt full of energy. Attributed to the added strength stats. It had doubled after all.
Hesant and unknowing how to use the Stat points he investigated.
Hovering over Mana he pushed the [+] on his transparent blue window.

It worked but he didn't feel any different.
Then suddenly his head felt like it was splitting.
-5hp
-5hp
-5hp
He could feel his blood boiling as he collapsed to the ground in pain.
-5hp
-5hp
-5hp
"AHHHHHHH" Hazuki Screamed at the top of his lungs tears streaming from his eyes invoulenterrly
-5hp
-5hp
'Am I dying? I just got here, I can't die yet' he thought to himself in agony gritting his teeth.
-5hp
-5hp
The shout had alerted the others indicating them to gather at Hazuki's location.
Arriving at Hazuki fallen to the ground with his arms around his head concern spread across Isamu's face. Due to his increased speed, he had traveled several yards in under a second perching himself above his friend in agony.
Hastily kneeling aside Hazuki he inspected him for superficial wounds only drawing a blank.
Haruto arrived shortly after and shouted "What happened"
"I don't know! He doesn't have any injuries!" Isamu shouted in response
Drenched in cold sweat Hazuki began to lose consciousness.
Kenji, the slowest of the three arrived to see Isamu and Haruto crouched over an injured Hazuki.
Thinking quickly he pointed out his palms and shouted
"Healing Magic!"
A green light dispensed from his palms and entered Hazuki as he passed out.
.......
.......
Hazuki's eyes shot open to see a dark rocky ceiling. His back was being assaulted by small pebbles.
^Activating Skill^
Night Vision Lv1
As his surroundings illuminated he noticed Isamu sitting against a wall in the corner
Before he could speak to Isamu.
Footsteps echoed from the cave entrance.
"We're back" The voice of Haruto echoed from the entrance
Isamu looked up from the floor toward the entrance
"Light," Kenji said in a quiet tone
A small ball of light appeared at the top of the cave slightly blinding the now-awake Hazuki
Kenji and Haruto both with arms full of uneven twigs entered Hazuki's field of view.
Noticing the wincing of the now sat-up Hazuki, Haruto dropped his pile of sticks and swiftly crouched to inspect Hazuki.
"He's awake," Haruto said turning his head back to Isamu and Kenji.
Kenji pushed the dropped sticks into a pile in a corner setting his bundle atop as well.
Isamau and Kenji made their way over to the distorted Hazuki
Sitting down alongside him Isamu asked the first question.
"What happened? Why did you collapse?"
Hazuki attempted to respond but to no avail.
His voice was hard and dry from dehydration.
Noticing this Kenji said "Water"
A small orb of water was floating in front of them before Kenji pointed to Hazuki's open mouth.
The water flew into his mouth and he swallowed with an audible gulp.
*Retch* *Cough*
Hazuki tried to speak
"I killed a horned rabbit with a skill. It leveled me up and gave me stat points"
"Yea we found the rabbit," Haruto said pointing to the rabbit's corpse drained of blood hanging from a rope on the ceiling.
"I tried to put a stat point into magic and this was the result," Hazuki responded
"If you don't have any points in mana, Don't put any in it. I felt like I was gonna die"
"die again," Kenji said jokingly
Hazuki and Isamu chucked whilst Haruto remained stone-faced.
"How did you manage to kill the rabbit?" Isamu asked
"A skill I got. It's called Evil Eye. It's really broken." Hazuki Said
"It killed it in less than a second. 40 damage constantly." He added
"Whilst you were out. We learned about our skills. They're really helpful. Even the poor grade skills are what geniuses in our world have," Haruto inputted
"We got swept into something crazy, Huh?" Kenji said rhetorically
After a long pause, Isamu asked
"What do we do now"
"Well, we just gathered firewood. So we're hoping Haruto can cook the rabbit Hazuki caught," Kenji said before pausing for a second
"Wait did you say 40 damage constantly?" He asked pointing his attention to Hazuki
"Yea" Hazuki Responded
"We have 100 Health" Kenji stated
"Yep" Hazuki responded
"Remind me not to get on your bad side" Isamu butted in getting a chuckle from Hazuki
"Alright, let's set up a fire"
Haruto stood up, grabbed a bunch of sticks from the pile, and headed outside.
Following behind him Kenji said
"Set them down on the stone"
Placing them in a bare spot Kenji then Snapped his fingers.
"Fire"
The pile of sticks ignited.
Isamu and Hazuki were watching from behind now in awe.
"I don't know how I'm gonna cook this but I'll figure it out," Haruto said rolling up the sleeves of his school uniform.
The fire didn't just attract the attention of the boys but the smoke is leading another.
