*clench*

Jack cleched his fists until his knuckles turned white and still continued.

'What the f*ck is this situation?

Grandpa goes fishing only to get attacked by a bear trying to protect his friends?

Is this some kind of twisted spider man origin story ?

Will I turn into a hero for justice when he gives me a life changing speech at his last breath and I see him die in front of me?

F*ck that! This is not a comic.'

*Bang*

"Shit!"

"Jack, stop punching the walls ,it won't solve anything. You have to understand there is nothing that you can do but pray that he may live."

"Huuu huuu...

'Is there really nothing I can do. With the app I can by any kind of recovery medicine, but the money I have now is not enough.

Wait!

The potions I got after defeating the slime Boss. I clearly remember that one of them is a health potion.'

*tap tap tap*

Jack's defeated look subsided a little and he rushed somewhere.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the bathroom...

*tap tap tap tap*

.....

*Shhhh...

The sound of the water running was heard in the men's bathroom.

*Spash*

"Haaaa, I needed that."

*Drip drip*

Cold water dripped from Jack's face and hair bringing him somewhat to his senses.

*Stare*

He looked himself in the mirror and saw his dirty visage. His hair was a mess and his eyes red from crying.

'I look like shit. If I saw my face right now in the middle of the night I would think I was seeing a ghost.'

*Smile*

"No time for stupid jokes, I have no time."

*Turn turn*

He scouted his surroundings and when he saw no one was inside he chose the last stall and entered it .

*Clik Clank*

He closed the door and opened his phone.

*flash*

The phone screen lit up and the usual figure of a controller was shown in it. The blue controller reflected on his eyes.

*Clech*

"I control my destiny...

INVENTORY."

The inventory appeared before his eyes and he without a second to waste looked for the potion he needed.

"This is it!"

*tap tap*

He tapped on the figure of a read potion twice in succession and an information page about it appeared.

Health Potion (low) Instantly recover 5% of your HP and every second for 10 seconds recover 1% of your HP.

' It really recovers your HP . If grandpa drinks this then he will definitely get a lot better. Even though he may recover 15% of his HP at least he won't be in any danger for his life.'

"I just have to make....him drink....

No, no no...

I'm so stupid. Why didn't I take that into consideration?"

'I can't give him the potion. Dad said that grandpa had a damaged throat because the bear bit him and the doctors had to put a tube in his mouth and then lungs to let him breath freely and not suffocate.'

"Damn it all!"

*Bam*

The phone hit the tiled floor of the hospital bathroom and broke it , but surprisingly the phone didn't even have a scratch on it. It just layed there , it's screen showing Jack's inventory.

"F*ck you..

*Bam*

F*ck..

*Bam*

You..

*Bam*

"Hah hah hah...

*Plop*

He fell to his knees crying silently.

' What good did it bring me to become stronger! I killed and killed slimes relentlessly so I could become stronger to protect my family ,to keep them safe from harm and look at me now...

I'm f*cking crying my eyes out while kneeling on the dirty floor of a hospital bathroom.'

"I'm so useless.

Why do I even live, huh? Is it just to feel the pain of watching your loved ones suffer?

Life is such a bully. It first trips you over for something small then lends you a hand to get up with a smile on it's face before kicking you in the chest with all it's strength."

'What was I doing when this happened?

I was killing slimes.'

"F*CKING SLIMES...

' I kicked, punched, slammed them and they just got up.

If humans could be like slimes, wouldn't that be awesome? No matter how you were injured you would just recover with enough time.'

*Drip drip drip*

His tears didn't stop flowing, making his eyes hazy and not be able to see anything.

*Drip drip*

Tears flowed and anger burned within him , but he was not forgotten.

A peculiar being had set his gaze upon him.

.....

I the dark, where no light penetrated. Where nothing mattered and where death also took a rest .

*Cling cling*

In this place a being of immense power lay, sealed.

*Cling cling*

In this place , what seemed like a human at first sight waited.

The figure had a human body covered with a black armour from head to toe and that armour was stained with rust and blood , but gave the feeling of indestructibility.

In his back were four wings that had no feathers or flesh , but only white bone . The bone wings and the black armour painted a demonic figure, but if you saw closely at those boney wings you could see that they radiated a pure energy that was life giving in nature .

*Cling Clang*

The figure had his four wings restrained by chained as other parts of his body.

In total he was held by seven chains;one for each of his wings, one for the legs, one for the arms and lastly one around his neck.

"Finally...

*Shine*

As he spoke those words a beam of light shoot from his eyes and into the darkness.

"Follow the chain, little one ."

.....

At the bathroom stall Jack was still crying his eyes out.

*drip drip*

Two drops, two drops of his tears were guided by something and one after the other they fell at the same place on the phone screen at his feet.

*Ping*

"What is it!

Are you trying to cheer me up?"

He heard the sound of the app and looked down on his phone to see the description of something.

He dried his tears and too a better look.

"Slimy Recovery?

Is this something I got from the Boss?

Effects are...

*Tremble tremble*

This..this...is...

His eyes widened, his heart stopped and his hope was regained.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

At that moment the scream of someone was heard all over the hospital. It was a scream of pain, anger, relief and hope.
