If this is what help from the gods looks like...

Sky, you’ve lost control as I was hoping you would not
Your class changed much too fast so this will likely hurt a lot
Your blessings now will be provided by another god
Just be careful not to get hurt, please rely on Todd
The scene of Twig upon the ground his body torn to shreds
Caused a surge of strong feelings in everybody’s heads
But Sky was so consumed by rage she started to transform
Her class became more suited to surviving in the swarm
Todd was having trouble dealing with them one by one
Leaf was fast enough to dodge them and help everyone
Pebble learned from Todd the way to deal with moving foes
But Sky’s demeanour cooled to the point that the forest froze
She flew from one bug to the other swatting them away
Never stopping to to heal her own wounds along the way
Todd was shocked to see how strong the bug monsters all were
He’d never seen their kind so strong on any adventure
Leaf had trouble killing them but since he was so quick
He was only stung once, though the venom made him sick
Pebble was unlucky since with his role as a tank
He survived by stats alone, his guardian to thank
~ Name: Pebble ~
Title: Protector
Class: Tank [lv2⇨ 3]
HP
[11⇨ 15]

I’m sorry I can’t help you more lad, this is all you get
You aren’t strong enough to handle any more stats yet

Try not to get stung to many more times while you fight
If this gets any worse it may be best that you take flight
Todd was also struggling to save everyone at once
Especially young pebble, who he thought might be a dunce
Always standing in the way of any foe he sees
Even when the pain he felt should bring him to his knees
“These blasted creatures have been buffed by some cruel deity
This whole situation doesn’t fit reality
What could that young boy have done to earn so cruel a fate
Looking at him now I fear we’re already too late”
After two chaotic hours of fighting endlessly
Sky was able to go tend to young Twig finally
He looked like he’d been stabbed around a hundred times or more
It was hard to even recognize him anymore
It seemed he’d held his hands up to repel the monsters’ sting
His left arm took the brunt of it, his hand was now missing
Sky used her appraisal skill to see what she could do
But when she saw his status it seemed too weird to be true

But that was not the strangest thing happening before her
The lifeless body of her friend slowly began to stir
His wounds all stopped their bleeding just enough that he’d survive
And somehow, though still injured, he was just barely alive
His left eye had been destroyed by one unfriendly sting

But even with his one good eye he couldn’t see a thing
Swollen shut he only heard the voice of his friend Sky
But when he tried to call back a strange screen was his reply
Achievement: Untethered
We did our best, but know that your old guardian is there
And he’s already displayed strange new powers, so beware
All that we could give you was an ancient status screen
The system stops us buffing it, but it can go unseen
He mumbled in a voice that sounded like a dying groan
A voice he had a hard time believing was still his own
“Why are all the screens red and who are you anyway”
And even though the gods heard him, they had little to say
Achievement: Losing Connection
It’s as we feared, your old guardian won’t give up control
But at least he shouldn’t able to curse your soul
There’s no time to explain, but we changed how your status works
It’s automated, though outdated, and it has its quirks
Twig could feel the strange new presence fade from his tired mind
Whatever force had spoken to him had left him behind
Too tired to think of ancient gods and systems anymore
He fell into unconsciousness again upon the floor

But that's about to change. .....I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I.What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me."Hi, I'm Carter."PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
