I wake up on the floor feeling…. Oddly normal but also just oddly tingly?… I lay there face down for a bit waiting for a nurse to pick me up while something blinks in the corner of my vision. Even during the busyist days I've never been pron on the floor very long.
But after a few minutes of silence I realized no one is coming. I try moving my fingers, ignoring the pins and needles that seem to reach even my bones… they move?
I can move?
I immediately try pushing myself up into a sitting position. I fail…. My body feels to foreign. When was the last time I moved under my own power? I can't remember, but I was definitely smaller back then.

Eventually I sit up and feel slightly embarrassed by how long it took I don't even try standing yet. Instead I sit there . Reluctantly I open my eyes.
I don't see anything but that flashing dot in the fare of my eye. Not because I'm blind but because the power is out. The only light comes from some dubious back up glow in the dark rail bands that line the walls. really wish I had a window room.
I'm almost grateful i can't see myself though…
I crawl over to a wall and then use the rail to shakily stand. What follows is a sad shuffle along the wall till I find the bed again.
All I find is an exploded mattress, and ruined medical equipment.
"D did i exploded?" I whisper my memories feel hazy… but not the normal kinda haze that's born from sleeping through months at a time. More like some memories are just gone… additionally I'm not sure how our when my IVs ware removed, they were just gone when in woke up.
I eventually find a mostly intact chunk of mattresses and try to find ware this annoying flashing dot is coming from. When I finally focus on it an oddly familiar screen or is it a box invadees most of my nonexistent view.

I cradle my head in my boney hands trying to calm both a new headache and a risisng panic.
IM 16! Since When Was I 16! Is this Magic screen telling me I've been in the hospital for 10 years! And what dose it mean my Name is NA I have a name!…." I I might not remember it right now, But I Have One!" I try to yell but my throat just can't.
…. It takes me a moment to realize how strange the screen is in the first place since it feels familiar? I quickly right if off since strange or not I think I might need it soon.
" I'm ether dead, hallucinating, or suddenly there's magic like in those books my brother would read out to me when he came to visit." I whisper with my horse voice, but smile at the choppy memories memory.
Focusing back on the screen i focus on the important, odd parts this time. This System seam to respond by giving me smaller windows, notifications? to read through.
[( H)Grade human- gains 1 point to each core attribute every 5 levels.(the standard grade of Human before the Convergence on Earth, only 10 remind by the time of System Integration, all parishes shortly after during the second Ethic Surge.)]
"I'm still alive though?"
[…Fractured… - you failed to Evolve, Die, or Mutate into an Abomination. Your soul has fractured, increasing your sensitivity to Ethiric forces, and preventing it from containing Ethiric Force for long.( This is a partial title and might naturally Evolve disapate or be combined with others under the right conditions).]
"Thats bad? Right?" I really missed talking out loud, even if it's basically just whispering!" I unconsciously smile.
[Crystal Marrow(H)-Cuts Constituton by half permanently , increases Mana copacity your Cobstitution Score minimum 1. (your bone marrow has spontaneously Crystallized after anomalously absorbing vast amounts of Ethiric Force. Note G grade creatures are normally unable to contain Mana, logging for future examination.)]
Is that why I feel so oddly tingly?… or maybe it's in combination with the sensitivity granted by that Title? Is Mana an Ethiric force?" So so many questions."
[Human Vigor- Humans recive Vigor equal to(Str + Dex) X (Con)]
Seems potentially really strong? Even if it can't go up in Grade.
[Life Affinity- the penultimate in Healing, Longevity, Health, Enhancement, and Agmentaton only second to the Holy Affinity(in Healing, Health and Longevity), and Demonc Affinity ( in Enhancement and Agmentaton) . it is far more flexible than both with far
fewer offensive means.( your Affinity is/was malignant, and was Damaged by your failed Evolution, preventing its use in its current twisted state.)(Grade C)]
"Malignant…if higher grades are good than my strangest facet was killing me… isn't that twisted!"
