Chapter 6: The beginning after the end.
"Here we go again" — C3PO
[Gamers Mind has been activated.]
My Mind suddenly slammed back into reality, no longer everywhere and free from what ever happened. My Emotions dulled and I felt sort of detached from the world as If everything my brain processed happened not to me but to a character I was controlling. As if I was experiencing everything with the help of a monitor. It was like watching the surrounding of a game you still found it beautiful and exciting, but it was lacking all the liveliness the real world had. It felt wrong. As if a part of me was missing.
With my mind back to where it belonged the Paine from earlier hit me full force and with a scream of Pure Pain and anguish I passed out.
The next time I regained consciousness the sun was setting signalling that the day was coming to a close. "And what a eventful day it was " I thought to myself dryly noting that the pain from the earlier experience has lessened but not gone away.
With thinking, seemingly all that I could do, I tried to figure out what happened to me. It was strange to say the least, for a moment I swore I was a different person as if I saw what was happening through their eyes and the next I was a observer not really there in the Moment but being able to experience it just the same as if I was the wind, no the Force as if I was one with. The Force showed me everything that has, is and might happen, and even more. But if so why couldn't I remember most of it? Was it because my brain couldn't process so much information? Or is it the "Gamer's Mind " skill that locked them away like it did with most of my emotions?
With no Immediate answers coming to mind, I shelved these questions for later. The pain had finally numbed enough for me to speak.
"Activate skill "Force Healing". I didn't know how to activate it myself so I had to ask the system and as it did not reply to my mental request earlier I had to speak up, or maybe it was just pissed at me? Possibly.
[ Request resieved: Activating the skill "Force Healing" on Players request.]
I could feel the force flowing through my body, my sense's might be dulled but I still felt it, not as strong but it still filled me with relief knowing that I could still connect with the force. I could feel it slowly but steadily helping, encouraging my body to heal faster than it normally would. The odd tightness in my chest and the rest of my body slowly residing.
With the hole experience finally behind me, I could continue were I left off. I also finally noticed what I was wearing or better yet the lack there of. I was naked as the day that I was born, "which was today, okay that is weird but true." The thought sending me for a loop.
I was naked in the middle of a forest, in the cold air of the night, on a planet I didn't know with nothing to cover me, "Great" I thought to myself.
"Well at least it can't get any worse!" I said to no one in particular, but as if the universe had to prove me wrong just to show that it could, it started to rain heavily and not far from me a lightning strike could be heard.
"The Hell, why is it always me?" I cried out loud, running to where I had spotted the entrance of a cave earlier in the day.
Finally entering the cave, shivering and soaked to the bone thanks to the rain. If I wasn't going to find something to dry and warm myself with I would surely get sick and possibly even die. "Well of to a great start" I thought sarcastically.
Hoping the system could provide something useful I started to play around a bit trying to figure out how to open some sort of interface or something. After trying to speak and using both my hands to make some gestures something finally happened, swiping with my left hand in a slow downward motion a screen appeared.
[ Do you wish to start the system tutorial?]
[YES| NO?]
"A Tutorial, YES!" I wanted to cry then and there, relieved that I didn't have to figure out how to use the system on my own.
What appeared in front of me after starting the tutorial was my characters stat sheet and a small holographic display of myself, still naked and all. The stat sheet had a bunch of different information displayed next to all my stats.

"Well shit, what did I do?" I questioned myself, not knowing why the system hated me so much it wanted to leave me so quickly.
