Looking over the screen my eyes self-consciously goes to the question mark next to the stats tab and suddenly the panel changes from the numbers to definitions.

"Wow that's a lot of information, now how do I activate them….." look around myself and thinking of the words 'underworld sight' my body suddenly surges with an unknown power flowing to my eyes seeing flashing bright deem and many other lights in the ground and around me I know it's working well reaching out to the door handle with the blinding lights its giving off is giving me a mirgain, so I think about the power but it doesn't go away, "how do I turn it off" thinking of the sudden surge I try and make it stop going to my eyes slowly dining the lights as I restrict more, losing control I get flashed by the lights,
After a few minutes of trying and still not getting it, I just walk out trying to shield my eyes but nothing works. 'God this sucks' going to the receptionists looking her in the eyes and seeing a small light coming from her waist. I see she has a knife on her. 'That's pretty useful' thinking to myself as I walk over "you gave me an expired serum" "you want a prize or something" her voice is filled with spite "well I was hoping for something in return" she sighs and grabs a vile "take it and leave it's almost my break" she says without ever looking at me. Seeing no need to confront her more I hurry out the door put onto the street that's now filled with people.
Walking down the street and taking in the sights reaching the pawn shop the doors ringing bell rings in my ears as I go to the counter "back so soon Lucas'' Mr barzo asks in a surprised tone
"yea they messed up at the serum shop, so I got a second vile and wanted to sell it" handing the blue vile over and feeling Mr barzo ruff somewhat hairy hands brush against mine I let it go and watch him inspect the vile
"well Lucas buying a vile isn't something I usually go seeing as I'll have to sell it cheaper than the main store in order to have someone buy it I'll give you 750 coins instead of the 1000 its valued at"
"850... Mr barzo I know you can sell it for at least 900"
"fine boy we can meet at the middle 800 but that's the highest I'll go" thinking to myself for a moment I extend my hand to confirm the deal "do you have any gems or crystals in stock?"
"I have a few pieces of amethyst, and one shard of calcite" looking at the crystals that he brought out seeing them in goodish conditions "how much" "50 coin" seeing that he just didn't want to give me more than 750 I reluctantly agree.
Walking down the shadowed covered alleyways to my apartment my head starts spinning 'what's going on' picking up the pace running not minding the wet puddles I step in, throwing open and running up the stairs as my eyes lose focus I slam my door behind me, noticing the metals glow going away finally I feel relieved only to black out a few seconds later.
