As if being sucked into a vacuum, Nuel felt as if his astra form was being pushed out of his physical form.
In an instant, the valley of death he had fought with the monsters vanished into nothing and with a loud gasp, he jacked up from where he was lying.
He stretched his hands into view, hurriedly observing the fresh cuts he had suffered in the abyssal horror, but surprisingly, they were no longer there.
His body felt light as if he hadn't been in a battle and had been resting for a long while instead.
"Where am I?" Nuel finally questioned his reality, not sure what had happened while he was gone.
The last straw of the world he saw before he was sent into horror by the system was at the hospital, but now, he was somewhere different.
He was lying on a bed that was laid with fresh and clean sheets that covered his legs all the way to his torso. His chest was embalmed with some bandages, over the area where the Kraelgor from the hospital had slashed him.
The room, a big plush construct was enough to fit in five men at most as roommates. It had two windows on opposite edges which gave room for enough lighting.
An ancient book shelf was placed at the farthest corner of the room with basic furniture lying around.
Another shelf was carefully joined to the book shelf and this shelf held different weapons and swords for combat.
Nuel was confused about where he was. He had no slightest clue about what had happened while he was out and why he was suddenly in a strange room.
Perhaps it was Khaos who had brought him there, he had thought.
While still ruminating on questions he had no one to give answers to, Nuel decided to check the system.
"System." He called.
[What would you like to be shown, player?]
"Show me the rewards from the abyssal horror."
The system chimed, displaying a separate tab for Nuel to see.

"There are other players too?" Nuel said to himself, carefully placing his hand under his chin.
"I thought I'm the only one who has this cheat system, but it seems I'm not alone after all." He sighed.
"I guess I will have to find these players."

"This makes it all easy now." He said with a scoff, making an attempt to step out of bed.
The door suddenly opened with grace and someone walked in. For a moment, Nuel wasn't sure how he should present himself.
Should he feign he was still asleep so he could source for some details if the visitor was going to make some pronouncements to his unconcious self or perhaps, stay as he was?
Nuel decided to follow the latter and he retracted his attempt to step out of bed.
The visitor walked in slowly, holding a tray that held a water jug, a small cup and a vial.
The tray bearer, a young beautiful woman with extremely long hair which was elegantly draped over her body like a shimmering gown, gracefully covering her voluptuous curves which were almost in bare sight due to the skin tight gown she was wearing which had two side slits that stretched to her thighs.
Her skin was smooth and well toned with silky delight and her warm face spoke many charms unheard.
Seeing Nuel awake already, she was forced to stop in her tracks, perhaps surprised he had woken up a bit earlier than she had expected.
Neither of them was going to push the first words. Nuel on the other hand was trying his best to take her image off his mind, but he couldn't help but praise her beauty a thousand times within mere seconds.
Finally, she broke into a small smile and began to move towards Nuel. She gently placed the tray in her hands on the side table and filled the empty cup of the tray with some water.
All Nuel could do was take side peeks at her while she did her job. After filling the cup with water, she turned at Nuel and handed the cup to drink some of its content while she watched like she was his mother.
"Thank you." Nuel, who hadn't realized how thirsty he was until he had doused the water appreciated.
Again, she smiled at him without a word, moving closer to Nuel with her slender fingers.
Her thumb finally touched the side of Nuel's lip, carefully wiping the droplet he had failed to wipe off.
Her subtle act caused a jinx within Nuel. For sure, he loved how careful she was with him, but then again, he doesn't know her from anywhere.
She could be a demon or a threat to him. Nuel suddenly grabbed her wrist, his azure eyes turning cold as he spoke the first words to her.
"Who are you?"
Before she could respond, a strange gust of wind howled through the room, like a demon's wail.
The air vibrated with an otherworldly energy, making Nuel's skin crawl. A faint, sickly green light flickered to life, casting an eerie glow across the room. The presence felt malevolent, like a demon was spawning.
