Jack dropped the glass and the cup immediately shattered on the floor but he barely noticed. His whole body felt like it was vibrating and was feeling some strange energy. His vision became blur and the room looked like it was spinning in his eyes as he stumbled backwards, he immediately gripped the edge of the kitchen counter as he tries to balance himself.

"What is happening to me?" Jack Harrison said in his thoughts as he panicked but hut his mind flashed back to the strange system stats that was on the screen earlier Strength, speed,Sonic boom,super cloak, were these changes happening inside him already, as he kept wondering ans tries processing what was happening, the energy was already becoming unbearable as his limbs went numb and hack suddenly became dizzy and eventually his vision became dark and his body collapsed in the floor as he was gradually becoming unconscious.

As Jack laid there, the spark inside began to calm and starts settling deep inside his body. Jack was completely unaware of how long he would remain unconscious or what changes could be taking place inside him. The house remain quiet and the shattered glass was casting a reflection in the ceiling.

The next morning, Jack woken up and saw himself lying on the kitchen cold floor as his body and head aches in pain. He blinked slowly as he tries to understand the surroundings.

The morning light casted down through the windows across the room. Jack Harrison then realized he was still in the same spot where he collapsed last night.

Jack Harrison slowly pushed himself up with his limbs all weak so he sat on the floor, his mouth was dry and muscles was aching as if he has been drained of all his energy.

He glanced around the kitchen and saw the shattered glass in the floor where he dropped the cup. The memory of last night came back to him and he remembered how the strange spark of energy moved through him and he lost consciousness.

"What happened to me?" Jack Harrison whispered to himself as he was trying to make sense if all it.

His body felt different, he felt drained as if the strange power that followed through his body drained him.

Jack Harrison mind went back to the stats that appeared in front of him last night and Jack was unsure whether it was somehow connected to this or was his body changing and unlocking something within him.

Jack Harrison stood up on his feet as he was holding himself up with the kitchen counter. His legs was shaking a little and was still feeling dizzy but he managed to stand. Jack Harrison looked down at his hands as he was somehow expecting it to glow or some sign of power he had felt but his hand was just normal and pale.

Jack Harrison was unsure of what was happening to him as it was something he couldn't explain. He walked carefully to the sink and poured cold water on his face hoping to remove the feeling of weakness.

As the water touched his skin he saw his reflection in the kitchen window and he didn't look any different but he felt something changed on the inside.

He had no idea about the new found energy or how it works but the spark was still doing slightly deep inside him.

Jack thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Mrs Sophie walks into the kitchen as her eyes widened when she saw Jack standing there look unwell.

"Jack!, why are you on the floor?" She asked as she rushed over.

Jack Harrison was not sure of what to say as he couldn't possibly explain something so strange and unreal so he kept looking at Mrs Sophie as he was trying to find the right words.

"I don't know, i felt strange last night after drinking some water and I passed out. I just woke up now" Jack said softly.

Mrs Sophie's expression softened with concern as she replied.

"I'm sorry, let me get you something to eat, you should rest" she said with concern.

As she was trying to prepare some breakfast, Jack sat down in the kitchen table as he was trying to understand what was happening to him.

Jack was still felling weak but was determined to carry in his daily routine. He went to his room to change clothes and prepare to bath as his mind was filled with confusion after what happened to him last night.

Jack Harrison tries to remove the thought from his head as he was thinking may it would only happen once. As he began to get ready to bathe the strange system screen popped up once again the air in the front of Jack, Jack heart skipped as soon as he saw the screen displaying a new message.

The screen displayed some instructions and analysis of yesterday's reactions which made Jack Harrison glued to the screen as he was trying to understand.

    “But we all agreed that we were going to help him! We all came here together, we should leave together.” Vince looked around as though he was expecting to see Dwayne, and when he didn’t see any sign of him, he shook his head and sighed heavily. “Did he go with anything?” Sierra said with a low tone, looking at Jack who quickly understood why she was looking at him.“The medallion!” He reached for his Pocket at once, and as soon as he felt the medallion, he sighed heavily, giving others a reason to remain calm. “I don’t know if he is going to be able to make it on his own, guys. You all saw the way his body looked. I don’t think he will be able to be out there on his own. This dimension is full of monsters.” Lucy said with a tone laced with so much concern, but Sierra scoffed almost, with a look of disdain on her face. Lucy stared at her with a little surprise in her eyes, wondering why she was still the way she was. She seemed to be the only pe

    For the first time ever since they left the city for the dimension in search of the medallion, the adventurers slept like babies, with a little relief in their minds. All of a sudden, they had forgotten that they were in am area where monsters and creatures of all kinds nestled. Nothing else mattered at that time, not even the fact that they weren’t sure of how to go back. Jack was the first to wake up at the first flicker of dawn. He blinked his eyelids several times to get rid of the weakness that tried to shut his eyes just before he stretched and yawned, pushing himself up while he groaned loudly. He could see that the sun was shining brightly, but the strange color of the dimension still remained the same, different from that of Earth. Right beside him was Lucy who was still sound asleep, enjoying the cool breeze that perched on her face. She smiled while she was fast asleep, and Jack could tell that she was having the most amazing dream.

    “Guys? None of you is saying anything! You can’t just keep quiet about this, whatever decision we are making, I think we need to make it together.” Jack said calmly while he looked at Lucy whose eyes were saying more words than her mouth at that time. He could see from the look in her eyes that she wanted him to pass judgment that would be very easy for him to endure. She was even willing to let go and hoped that everyone was going to agree with her even though she knew that it was going to be very difficult, especially with Sierra involved. Lucy was the most compassionate among all the adventurers, she was merciful and kind, and could easily be made to react to very emotional situations. Her eagerness to react to such things made her the weakest link to them, and she didn’t even know about it. “I think we should let go of everything he has done to us, and move on. After all, we already have found the medallion, and it doesn’t look like we are going to

    Jack gestured to Dwayne to explain to them, and he moved to the middle where everyone was going to be able to see and hear him clearly. Luckily, the rays from the moonlight were still bright, and he could still be seen. Sierra didn’t seem interested to hear what he was going to say, but when she saw that every other person had gotten closer to him, she reluctantly did the same and stood behind him, watching and waiting with her arms folded. Dwayne looked at his companions one after the other, and when he saw that they were paying attention while they surrounded him, standing at different corners, he sighed heavily before he went ahead to tell them what they had been longing to hear. “I am dying.” He said with a shaky tone, but his words came as a shock to his companions who didn’t know if they were to believe him him or not. They stared at each other for a few seconds before they returned their gazes to him, waiting for him to tell them that he was joki

    Luckily, they were all out of the castle before it could collapse totally while they watched it go down, each block falling on top of the other amidst the rumbling and loud thud. “That was close! Really close!” Seth said with a shaky voice, looking at the collapsed building while he struggled to catch his breath. He was still panting frantically when he noticed that Sierra was marching aggressively toward him with an angry look on her face while she got ready to make use of her weapons. “I am sorry! I didn’t mean to bring him to you guys! I am so sorry! He forced me! He forced me!” Seth staggered backward while he covered his face, thinking that Sierra was about to attack him, but she walked past him with full force and grabbed Dwayne’s neck, unbothered about the fact that he was very dangerous. “Who are you? What is your mission? Who are you? Speak now before I strangle you!” She pushed him to the ground with an enormous rage while she tightened her gr

    Everyone had become very silent while they looked at Jack who began to come down slowly, looking at Lord Rasmus who threatened to kill Lucy and was serious about it,. He wasn’t mincing words, and Lucy was aware of this as well. “You are wasting my time, boy! Hurry up at once, hand over the medallion, or she is dead!”“You will get the medallion! Don’t just hurt her! Don’t hurt her, okay?” Jack gestured to Lord Rasmus while he slowly came down, and the glow that covered him went off at once. The medallion fell into his hand, and he held it firmly while walking toward him. “Come on! Hand it over, now!” Lord Rasmus said imperatively while he had his eyes on the medallion, still holding onto Lucy who was still shivering under the influence of the fright that gripped her. Halfway to getting to Lord Rasmus, Jack noticed the presence of some shadowed creatures behind him, and he had to stop to be sure he wasn’t hallucinating. The figures disappeared almost as soon as they appeared, and Ja
