I wake up in the town's hospital after 4 days only to know I have been save by my neighbors who were there by chance. They didn't have enough healing potions to heal my injuries as my entire body was injured and they had to bring me to the hospital for treatment.
The doctors say I am lucky I didn't get any fatal injuries or it would have been hard for them to save me due to the blood loss I had on that day. Only I know the assailants have missed the fatal parts on purpose to keep me alive for a long time and I am thankful for that as I now able to see my parents and sister again.
My sister told me that I was visited by Uncle Jon, Dawn and Max when I was unconscious and Dawn has requested for a postponement for joining in Hammerand so she can be here for a few days before being moved to a training facility in a city that will help her to grow.
It took another 3 days for me get completely cured and get discharged from the hospital. I check the storage in my watch and found the raw materials of the electric elk I killed is still in there and it is fresh. This is one thing about the storage in the hunter watches, whatever that is stored will not get spoiled which allows us to store our food for long time if we go on long missions or camping.
After the discharge, I am welcomed to the house filled with our neighbors, my parent's co-workers, my sister's friends and Tariq, my sister's boyfriend was also there. It was as if I have come back home after many years.
And I see 1 man whom I have never seen before coming to me flashing his Hammerand identity from his watch. I ignore him as I just got back home and I don't want to see anyone from any company.
The welcome back party lasted till 10:00 PM and I feel happy as nearly 38 people have gathered to welcome me back from the near death experience I had and to make me feel special.
I also learned the 2 people who almost killed me has used the same technique and has killed dozens of people in the Bamboo forest and luckily I am the 1st person to escape them alive.
The next day when I come out of the room, I again see the Hammerand person talking with my parents and looks happy to see me coming out of the room. I am a little disturbed seeing him again today, this early in the morning.
"I'm sorry if I am disturbing you kid. I'm Cooper, the branch Manager of the company Hammerand in Havet. 1st, please do accept my sincere apologies for my recruiters to reject you joining our company. Their reason is the worst part which I can't apologize enough.
I watched the video of what you did in the Steel Teeth Rats extermination mission. To be honest, I have watched it more than 30 times till now. I admire your courage in the battle and your mentality to help others with the potions that we gave you.
It reminded me why we are fighting this war against those animals, to keep the people around us and those who can't defend themselves safe. I like that character of yours and I wish you will accept my apology and agree to join our company.
We definitely need people like you in our company to remind us why we are fighting these dangerous battles." He says to me without giving me a gap to speak.
I look at my parents who are sitting close to him to which he adds "I already spoke to them. They have accepted my apology and have agreed to let you join our company, if you are okay with it." My parents nod for this showing they are okay with what Mr. Cooper has just said.
I keep silence thinking what I have to say and what I have to do now. After a few seconds of thinking, I say "Apology accepted. But joining your company, I will have to think about it."
To which he replies "Think as much as you want kid. I am not asking you to decide it immediately. I will just say, if you want to join our company, there will be a place open for you, always." Then he leaves my house in the grand limousine car which was parked in front of our house.
I wish I could agree joining him, but from the minute I woke up in the hospital, I feel my strength has reduced and I feel something different in me. I don't know what it is, but I want to know everything before I can decide what I am going to do next.
I sit on the couch next to my father who pats me on my shoulder with the usual smile he always has. My mother smiles at me with clear pride on her face. I take a deep breath and open my stats to see how it looks like and I am shocked and surprised at the same time.
I never thought my stats will change this much which make me feel a little confused and sad. I know one in a 100000 people gets this change when they go through tough times, but I never knew I will be one of them, that too, this early, just a few days after the awakening.
[STATUS
NAME: ALEXANDER SAAD
ELEMENT: ICE
GRADE: LOW-F
Constitution: WHITE ☆☆]
My element has changed from Air to Ice. My level has reduced from Mid-F to Low-F. I see the new addition called 'Constitution' in my status. All the skills I have learned till now has disappeared and I will have to learn new skills for the Ice element.
I am not sure if I have to feel lucky or unlucky of this as I am not sure what I will face in the future. There are quite a few drawbacks and a few advantages in this. Which will be high is the question? Is it the drawbacks or the advantages, only time can tell.
