Wake Up

‘Am I still alive?’ I asked myself, confusion all too visible within my thoughts.

Just as this question repeated itself in my mind, brief flashes of the events that happened before I blacked out relayed in my head as silent confirmation.

‘I must have lost consciousness, the last thing I remember was... Ugh what was it again...’

Still too muddled to process all the information my memories and what my senses were sending me after my slumber, I tried to prop up my laying body.

‘My body hurts and everything aches. My arms, legs, chest, head...’

I could have lost my life on multiple occasions, yet I survived...somehow.

But that was not all that there was to it, with adversity comes reward.

I can feel my strength rise with every kill, my proficiency with augmentation rise through the roof, and my affinity with earth and nature seemed to reach a new level.
