Chapter 9: Finally awake

~~~~~~~~~~

Dad is finally awake, after three days of being unconscious and I couldn't help but be excited. I've been feeling anxious this whole time because the doctor said that he should be waking up any day now but it's been three days. I thought that he also fell into a coma, like Mom...

Nope!... no, no... don't think negatively. Dad is finally awake now and I should be happy and look on the bright side!

When we finally reached the hospital and go to the room where my parents are staying, I saw dad lying in bed, looking at Mom on his right side, all I can hear from him is relief and on his left side is Thana looking at dad with an emotionless face but I can hear her relief and... sadness?

"Ron! you lucky bastard, you're finally awake!"

"Dad!" I then run to his side.

Dad then looked at us and smiled then softly said,

"Hahaha... *cough* it will take more than a few bullets to... *cough**cough* take me down." He then looked at me and whispered "I'm glad you're safe..."

"Dereshishi... if you're so tough why didn't you wake up sooner?"

"Fine... I'll prove it to you." He then tried to stand up but was stopped by Thana, who put a hand on his shoulder and said sternly,

"Sir, you should not move and talk so excessively, and wait for the nurses and doctor."

"Oh Thana... *cough* you're also here... I'm sorry if I left all the work to you."

"It is fine sir, you should continue to rest and stop talking, I'll do the work for you."

"I see... thanks for being there all the time Thana."

"... I am just doing my job sir."

Then the door opened and the doctor and nurses came in. The nurses Immediately checked Dad's vitals, blood bag, and anything that is connected to Dad, then the doctor talked to him.

"How are you feeling?"

"Well, my abs fucki- *cough* ...I-I mean just a bit of pain in my abdomen and hungry and thirsty."

"I see... we will need to do more checkups and a few more surgeries and in a few months you'll finally be able to go home. As of right now, you should not eat any solids and continue to rest."

After some time when the nurses and doctor are done and advising to Dad to rest they left. We then spent the rest of the afternoon talking and catching up. Uncle Charles talked about his trip, Thana updated Dad on what's happening at the company, and I talked to dad about my training in swordsmanship. When he heard that he said,

"I'm proud of you son, no matter what you do, don't let what happened that day hold you back. Me, your mom, and everyone here will always be by your side."

"Dereshishishi... you're becoming a man now."

"What you are doing is admirable."

I just smiled at them and nod, happy from receiving their acknowledgment. I just hope Mom wakes up soon. After that we left because Dad needs to rest.

June 23, 2005

Four days have passed since then and I went back to my previous schedule, Dad is still in bed but at least he can now sit up. We bonded a lot this whole time and now that Dad is not busy with his work we had a lot of time. I am much closer to Mom than to him because most of the time he's busy but after the incident, I realize that I've come to love him as much and I'll be devastated if he died.

I still don't know who did this to them and why. Well, I can't really do anything anyway... I am afraid that if I go out alone I'll be targeted and killed or worse... be a hostage. They aren't telling me anything either, they said that the police are still Investigating and that's it. That was all they are willing to tell me, then they said that I am still a kid and shouldn't be involved... *sighh*

That's why I am in bed right now cause I will get a gacha point any second now...

11:46 pm...11:47 pm

Finally...!

Ok it's time to roll the gacha...

Please be a character card...

Please be the strongest man...

Please...!

| King ( One Punch Man ) |

"..."

...Come on!

What the fuck?!

I did wish for the strongest man but this guy is fake!

*Sighh*

Is it because I only used one GP?... Wait no... that's not it. Is it because I am still weak?

I knew I should have saved my GP. Ok new rule, only use gacha when I have a lot of points. It's like pay-to-win games... only the rich wins *sighh* It's been a long time since I felt this poor...

Well, what were the powers of King anyway? Let's try to remember... he has the King's Engine that he uses to intimidate others and... nothing. Ok, how about his personality, let's think...

King is a very serious person and also incredibly intimidating in the eyes of others, but he turns out to be very cowardly but very clever. In reality, King is just an ordinary guy who has absolutely no determination, courage, or skills as a hero and always runs from a battle.

Ok, I am trying to change now but does the gacha needs to remind me every time I summon a card? I know that the gacha is affected by me but come on! What's next Usoop? Wait... I think that's good... because maybe I can unlock haki. Nope no, stop thinking about it, I'll think of Luffy instead, or better yet Zoro. I have compatibility with him right?

If I continue in my swordsmanship maybe I'll be able to summon even Mihawk! Ok, let's stop being delusional and just assimilate King. It's not like I'm going to lose something and I don't want to summon anyone right now.

A/N: Some of you may say in the comments that I am purposely choosing weak characters and I'm going to say... You Are Absolutely Right!

I tried making a Spin the Wheel Simulator with the powers and characters I thought of, but the result is Penance stare ( Ghost Rider ) which is OP by the way.

Well there is that but it will also act as a foundation to the powers of the MC, it is also because the MC is weak right now.

As I put in the Auxiliary Volume the gacha works on his subconscious and it can be affected by his life, environment, and similarity.

King isn't that weak anyway and he has some useful abilities like his super luck and playing games, plus I'm putting a twist on the King's Engine.

King has a character trait that he is good at playing games and I am going to use that to summon the best Gamer there is ( like Yu-Gi-Oh! Hahaha ) and I am not talking about that noob Han Ji-han but | |.
