*honk* Hearing the car horn go off, Jim was snapped out of his stupor, he shook his head "Remember, it's not real, don't fall for it", he felt it was odd as the auditory hallucinations had never been this vivid before, it had always been short and only consisted of a single word or noise, recalling that lack of sleep can cause hallucinations he assumed this was the case.

Climbing into the car his aunt Jan have him a weird look, he had been standing on the sidewalk for an unknown amount of time after all, he just shrugged and waited as she started the engine, they took off.

'Ugh, shut up!' Jim thought to himself, suddenly the monotone voice which kept echoing in his head went quiet, he was happy that it finally stopped. They reached the Pharmacy on the way home, he headed inside to turns over the scripts, after a 5 minute wait the Pharmacist returned with a white paper bag, the instant Jim's hand touched it that annoying voice started again

"Ugh..." He was fed up hearing this dumb voice, after hearing to the car and getting in, he found it kept repeating everything he touched, the car, his clothes, he shouted in his mind 'Shut Up!' Another reprieve started, after hearing home, he said farewell to his aunt and came in, he was exhausted, being outside for so long made him feel like he wouldn't recover for days, after undressing he went straight upstairs to bed.

Waking up later, he felt unusually refreshed, after discovering it was still light out, he headed downstairs and got some food.

Signing to himself, he wondered if this voice was going to keep up all the noise until the day he died, "At least I don't need to worry about going insane, I already am." He chuckled to himself. He did wonder exactly what was in the meal he heated up though, before reaching for the box to read the ingredients list the voice started again .

[Congratulations Host, Appraisal Skill Obtained]

Suddenly, a translucent object appeared in front of him, he almost dropped the hot meal in surprise, taking a closer look the object seemed like a window you'd open on a computer screen, just holographic and imaginary. He snorted as he looked at the window's contents.

[Preserved Salisbary Steak Meal x 1, Quality: Low]

[Contents: Chicken, Pork, Water, Beef, Soy Protein Concentrate, What Flour, Dehydrated Onion...]

The ingredients list kept going on and on, he was stunned for a moment and checked the box, the list in the window mostly matched what was displayed on the box. He was taken aback at the accuracy, but realized he must have seen the ingredients list before and his mind dredged up the memory to create the window's ingredients list.

"Nice try, not so easy to fool me though." A second later he facepalmed, realizing that he just told his brain he can't outsmart himself. After eating the meal he got back to playing some games on his pc, he began to get absorbed in a bullet hell game when suddenly everything seemed to slow down for a second.

[Congratulations Host, Focus Skill Obtained]

"..." Stunned at the phenomena, he ended up getting hit by an easily avoidable bullet and got a game over. Sighing, he wondered exactly what that was, it seemed impossible for that to happen if it was a mere hallucination, wondering if there might actually be something to this he decided to try it out.
