Ethan's Collapse

As the light faded, Ethan's legs gave out, and he crumpled to the ground. Victor, still in shock, stumbled backward, eyes wide with fear."Wright! Wright, are you okay?!" Victor stuttered, his bullying demeanor forgotten. Ethan's vision blurred, and his mind raced with questions. What just happened? Why did his System activate? He felt a strange sensation, as if his body was rebooting. As Ethan's consciousness faded, he heard a soft whisper in his mind."Host requires reboot. System entering dormant mode. Reboot sequence initiated." Ethan's world went dark, his body limp on the ground. Victor, still in shock, stumbled away, unsure what to do.The scene faded to black as Ethan's System worked to reboot and restore his consciousness.

The system worked tirelessly to repair and upgrade his abilities. His mind was a flurry of code and data, as his System rebirthed him into a new, enhanced version. Ethan's eyes fluttered open, and he found himself in his own bed, surrounded by familiar walls. His System's whisper returned, this time with a new message.
