Charlus was going to his gym class. He was looking for someone when someone hit him in the back.

[-1 HP]

“What the hell Milo!”

“Why so serious man?”

Charlus was suddenly afraid. If this was really a game like world, wouldn’t he die if his HP went down to 0? If one simple ‘pat’ in the back took out 1 HP, how was he supposed to stay alive?

Charlus looked at Milo’s level.

[Milo Stanley Lvl 21]

Lvl 21? What did his friend do to get to that level? Farm? Wait, how would someone farm on Earth? There aren’t monsters. Right?

Charlus was losing his mind.

“What’s wrong man? Why are you acting so weird?”

“Nothing. What are we supposed to do again? I didn’t listen to the fat guy.”

“He told us to do some sit-ups. You first.”

Charlus got down on his back while Milo stood on his feet.

“One, two, three…..”

Charlus was exhausted by the time he got to 19.

“One more man. You can do it!”

“Twenty!”

Charlus fell back. A notification appeared before him.

[+1 Str]

What? A point in Str? Isn’t that strength? Charlus suddenly got a motivation to do more sit-ups.

“Wait. I think I can do more. 21, 22…”

Charlus stopped at 30. He was truly exhausted.

[+ 1 Str]

“Wow! That’s the first time I’ve seen you do this much. Who caught your eye? Was it Julia?”

“Shut up man. Your turn.”

_____

After gym Charlus and Milo had American History.

“Hey Julia, Charlus has a th-”

Charlus shoved Milo aside.

“Don’t mind him. Something happened to him.”

Charlus dragged Milo to the back of the classroom.

“That hurt man. I’m just setting things up for you.”

“Yeah right, you can have for if you want.”

“Her? No way!”

“Could you stop talking Mr Stanley? I have a class to start.”

“Sorry sir.”

Charlus didn’t know what to do so he listened to the class.

“Abraham Lincoln ran for president under the republican party, which shows how much a party can change. The party’s ideals are based on the people controlling it and not the party itself…..”

[+1 Wis]

A point in Wisdom? But what did I do?

Charlus was confused at the addition of stat points he received. What was it for? Was it because he was listening in class? Damn! He should have listened more.

Charlus paid attention in all of the classes he had that day but no new stats were awarded.

“What was that man? Why did you listen to class today? You seem so different today.”

“I’m sorry man, I got to go. Maybe we can talk later. Discord?”

“Nah. I have something on my plate. I’ll be really busy for a week. Won’t be coming to school either. I think I’ll be back by Monday. Don’t mess with Marcus again. I won’t be there to bail you out.”

“Yes daddy. Get me something when you come back.”

Milo laughed and got into his car.

“Need a lift?”

“I have my scooter. See you around.”

Charlus got into his scooter and drove to his house. He entered the house and got into the kitchen to get a glass of juice.

“Ow!”

[-3 HP]

A couple of glass shards were on the floor and Charlus had stepped on them.

“I forgot about this god damn it! Wait, did I already lose 5 HP till now? Status!”

“Only 3 HP gone? Did the other HP recover? Thank go.”

Charlus was relieved that his HP recovered. He first took out the glass shards on his feet. Then he cleaned the kitchen. The carpet was torn up though.

“Need to get one now. Might as well eat outside too.”

Charlus grabbed a jacket from the hanger above the shoe rack beside the front door. He took out his scooter and started towards Lewisville German Carpets.
