In the infirmary of Mystic High School, a boy lies unconscious on a bed, surrounded by students and a doctor.
The boy is Evan, who collapsed suddenly while assisting Rey and James with a stack of sheets.
"Sir, is Evan alright? Why did he suddenly become unconscious and fall?" James inquired of the doctor, concern etched on his face.
"There's no cause for alarm; it's merely due to insufficient sleep or inadequate food intake," the doctor explained while examining Evan's eyes, then requested that both students step outside so Evan could rest undisturbed.
"Okay, sir, but please call us if Evan wakes up. Let's go, Rey; we need to finish your work on time as I don't want to run into any trouble," James said to Rey, who nodded in agreement, and they both exited the infirmary.
Meanwhile, Evan could be seen floating in front of ten ethereal white beings within a white expanse surrounding him.
{Evan's POV}
'Wait, what am I doing here? Wasn't I helping Rey and James take the stakes and sheets to the school's storeroom? Why am I here?' Evan thought, looking around as he couldn't see the ten beings standing before him.
"Is he the one we're looking for?" someone from the ten faint beings asked.
"Yes, he's the one we're looking for. I can see some resemblance in his soul," another being replied.
"Who's here, and why am I in this place?" Evan asked, turning his head to find someone.
"Look here in front of you. Hello R#### oh my look like we can't tell you that huh, so what's name humm, ahh Evan not much different in this life also huh well we don't care other than our plan. So, listen Evan you are ..." The middle guy start explaining all things to him about his life secrets.
{A/N: - If you're eager to hear the story of our character Evan, please be patient until the first fight concludes. After that, I will unveil his tale. Make sure to read it, as I will announce the news in the upcoming chapter when I begin to share it. The title, which I've pondered over greatly, is 'THE THIRD RETURN OF THE NECROTIC MAGIC SWORDSMAN'. This name alone should give you a hint of the story's essence. I hope you'll enjoy it. Now, let's proceed with the narrative.}
After everything had ended, a faint presence revealed to him the location of the artifact he needed to use.
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon. Just wait a little longer, and I'll resolve everything and save everyone," Evan assured, looking at them all.
"For your success, here's a bit of help from us," said the man, and ten orbs of light emerged from them, entering his body. This triggered a system notification that appeared before them, displaying his gift. {Not here, but in another series, guys.}
After the events unfolded, he finally emerged from that place to find himself lying in the school infirmary's bed. He sat up to survey his surroundings.
"Why am I here? Wasn't I with the ten thrones? {oops, spoilers}," Evan mused, sitting on the bed.
"It seems someone was so engrossed in the games that he's even dreaming about them now. But let's put that aside and tell me, are you talking about a boss named 'Ten Thrones'?" the school doctor inquired, entering the room as he opened the door.
"No sir, I apologize, I was just asleep and inadvertently mentioned a game character," Evan explained quickly to dispel the misunderstanding.
'Thank goodness I didn't say too much, or he might think I'm some introverted madman obsessed with anime and reincarnation,' Evan mused with an internal sigh of relief.
"Let's do a quick check-up, and then you can go; your friends are concerned about you," the doctor said as he began examining Evan's nerves and eyes.
"You're fine now, but remember to play fewer games and get more sleep; you've been neglecting your rest," the doctor advised with a stern look.
"Sorry, doctor, I'll adhere to your instructions strictly. Could you tell me how much time has passed since I lost consciousness?" Evan asked, getting to his feet and searching for a clock to check the time.
"Hmm, approximately 30 to 45 minutes have elapsed since you fainted," the doctor informed him, glancing at his wristwatch.
'Not much time has passed, and today's date is the 16th, right? The accident will occur on the 18th, which means it's the day after tomorrow, so I have to prepare myself. It will be very difficult to escape from them,' Evan thought as he walked toward the room's gate and opened it.
"Thank you, sir, for taking care of me," he said, closing the door behind him.
"No worries, it's my duty," replied the doctor, returning to his work.
'What a strange kid. Judging by his condition, I didn't expect him to wake up for another 2-3 hours, but he woke up after just 37 minutes. It seems my age is showing; my predictions have been off lately,' the doctor mused, settling into his comfortable chair to relax.
Meanwhile, Rey was staring into the air, where only he could see a message from the Eternal Omniverse System, indicating that...
< A New User have been Connected to The System>
< In Process: - .04%>
"What the hell, where are these cracks coming from? Hey Aiden, what's happening? How did another guy connect, and is it just me, or does everyone get the notification of a user connecting?" Rey asked, eyeing the system's information.
"Do you want the good news or the bad news?" Aiden inquired, materializing in front of him.
"Give me the bad news first," Rey responded with a grave tone.
"Well, we're in trouble now," Aiden stated, his expression deadpan.
