Opening his eye, Alex saw that he was in his room. Raising his head, he looked around and he saw that he had woken up before his alarm clock could go of.
Seeing that he decided to lie down again. He was relieved that nothing had happened over the night, while he was sleeping.
"Status" Alex said in a medium loud tone, without a care if somebody could hear him.

'Nice! Did I get this because of my Nightmare? Was it even a nigh...'
*Beep beep beep beep*
Before he could ponder anymore he was interrupted by his alarm clock. Reminding him that he had to get ready for school.
Alex got up, ate come cereal for breakfast, got ready and left for school.
'Double philosphy and english, then math biologie and double art. What a great day.'
Walking to the bus station, Alex looked at his phone. He had some unread messages, tapping on message app icon he saw that those messages were only from Thomas.
---
T: Are you alright?
T: Were 2 school days too much for you?
T: When you get better and have any questions you can ask me.
...
---
Reading the messages and entering the new arriving bus, Alex decided that there was no need to answer because he will see his friend at school.
Thinking about school he also thought about Steph and the Monster Research Club.
'That club really saved my skin back in the cave. But the organs were real...' Before he could finish the thought, his gag reflex reacted. Alex reacted unusually fast holding his hand before his mouth, luckily nothing happened.
Pulled away from his thought, he noticed that some passengers were looking weirdly at him. Paying them no mind, the teenage boy scrolled through his phone until he reached to correct station.
Exiting the bus he walked towards the school grounds. Passing some students who were outside the grounds to play or watch something on their phone, Alex payed them no mind.
Now entering the school grounds and walking towards the school building, the boy prepared himself for the rest of the school day.
After Alex entered the class he heard a familiar voice.
"Finally risen from the dead, have we?" Thomas, who waited for Alex to enter, asked with a chuckle at the end.
"Yeah, I have. Now bow down, mortal." Alex replied in a deeper voice, Laughing at the end.
Both boys looked eye to eye, then Thomas' eyes brightened up a little. Continuing to talk, the blond boy asked: "Did something happen to you?"
Hearing that, Alex was taken aback. Was it really a dream and Thomas asked something unrelated or did it really happen, but Thomas forgot it.
"No, nothing happened." Alex replied trying to sound nonchalant so his friend wouldn't notice, but Alex noticed that he was beginning to sweat.
"Really? Your eyes or more your whole body..."
*Ding Dang Dong*
Before he could finish his sentence Thomas was cut of by the bell, looking at the front both students saw their teacher waiting. Without finishing their conversation, both boys took their respective seats.
Alex couldn't listen to their philosophy teacher, he could only think about what he should tell Thomas:
'Hey Thomas, you already asked if something happened, to tell you the truth: I killed a monster and later I dreamt about you confronting me killing it. No that sounds really stupid. I should just tell him that I am still a bit sick, yeah. Hopefully he believes me.'
Sitting through the lesson the first break arrived. Both boys without talking to each other left the classroom walking next to each other.
Breaking the silence, Alex began to talk:"To answer your question from earlier, nothing happened. I am still a bit sick, I don't even know how I got sick.
Hearing that answer, Thomas seemed satisfied. Now a smirk smiling on the boys face, Thomas looked at his friend.
"Do you know what you can do better next time, my friend? Don't get sick."
Hearing his friends 'advice', Alex began to walk with a faster pace, creating some distance between him and his friend.
Continuing with the school day Alex made himself a mental note to check out the Monster Research Club and take the entrance formula and most importantly pick something up to eat, he forgot to pack himself some lunch.
While walking to his house, Alex went to a pizza place 'Antonio's Pizza'. The pizza from the pizzeria was not the best, but for the price really good, it even had a student discount.
Back at home, Alex changed clothes and sat down to eat his pizza, which was really rewarding because he didn't eat something at school.
Finishing his Pizza, Alex looked at the entrance formula. It just wanted some general information, about the person who wanted to join a club. Filling out the formula, Alex was still contemplating if he should join the club.
Looking back to his experience, he decided that it was better joining if there were more useful information.
Instead putting the formula in his backpack he decided to look if objects from this world could also enter it. Imagining the storage his arm disappeared, he left the formula and his arm appeared again.
While his Arm was in the storage, he also felt the presence of the dagger pulling it out, he looked at it was still full of blood, so he decided to wash it.
After washing it in the bath and cleaning the bathroom so his dad wouldn't see the purple liquid, Alex went to sleep preparing himself to join the club.
