In a room of a certain hospital in japan, you can see a nurse checking the vitals of a certain patient that has been unconscious for about a month now.
"Oh right, Its already been a month now since that tragedy happens... and you are still not waking up right now"
said by the nurse while staring closely at the face of the patient.
"hmm, the other nurses where right, you do have a handsome face, ..... and yet you are wasting it all by sleeping around here all day," said the nurse while poking his face lightly " wow, I do like your lips Mr., gosh look at that lips, its already a month and it's still moist and fresh not dry like the other unconscious patients here, *sigh* I do envy you, aahh I wish I have the same natural lips like that ." while the nurse is happily looking the patient's face suddenly.
"uuh...uuh"
"Huh....."
"aah..." Suddenly his eyes open widely and immediately try to get up but, *Bsing!* "agk! my head! agh it hurts!." his head collided on the metal bar that is above on his head.
The nurse immediately check on him. "oh my gosh, sir are you ok!?.... don't try to stand up so quickly you just woke up, ...stay here for a moment while ill go call the doctor ok?"
"o-ok!" said the man while holding his aching head.
"ok ill be back!" The nurse immediately runs outside the room to call the doctor.
The man started to get up while still holding his aching head and pushing away the metal that is used for holding food.
"Ugh! so that's what she means huh?..... what is even that thing doing above my head in the first place, and what am I doing in a hospital? aren't I supposed to be in the middle of the cit-... *sigh* it's too much for me, I just woke up dammit."
10 minutes later.... ~
"mmm, your breathing looks normal, and I already run some tests in your body before and you don't seem to have any problem in your body, instead it became even much healthier than before, so the only thing that we haven't test is your mental health, do your head ache even a little bit?"
"uum, I just hit my head earlier that's why it hurts a little bit, but now I don't think so."
"ok let me ask you some basic personal question just to test if you have any problems regarding your memories, are you fine with that?"
"yeah I'm fine with that"
"ok let's start with..., can you tell me your name and age ?"
"Ray Williams, 20 years old"
"Where do you live now Mr.Williams?"
"umm, in...I live here in Tokyo because I work here and I'm staying at the Kagurazaka Apartments near Shinjuku station"

"Can you tell me your parent's name and their nationality?"
"sure, My mother's name is Choi Sun Hee, she's a Korean and my father's Frederic Williams, he's an American"
"ok~.....Well I think that's enough, I can already tell your whole mind is perfectly fine it's just a test anyway and not an interview, let me just observe you for more couple of days and if everything is still fine we can let you go home already, for now, I'll excuse myself first because more patients like you also needed my attention, so your nurse here will tend to your every need, and just say anything if you suddenly feel something in your body ok." said by the doctor while slowly standing up and gesturing to leave.
"yes, thank you for everything doc."
"No problem, now if you'll excuse me."
"yes"
After the doctor leaves the room only ray and the nurse left behind the room.
"You heard him, just say anything you need okay?"
"Yeah sure, I appreciate it"
"you're welcome"
"oh! can I ask you about something?"
"mmm, yeah sure anything, what is it?"
"uumm, ..... do you know something about what happen last night?"
!!!! " HUH!? w-w-what are you t-talking about I didn't touch you or do a-anything about your b-b-body last night!?
"...."
"w-w-What!?"
~stareeeeee~
"i-it was the other nurse's idea you know!?.... I just accidentally feel it, t-that's all"
' you accidentally feel what exactly?..... ugh I feel I've been violated by a bunch of women. '
" *sigh* I don't know what are you talking about but what I'm asking here is that electromagnetic force thingy that electrocuted almost all the people in the streets last night, and come to think of it how are you and all the people I saw today we're so fine like nothing happen at all, ...wait don't tell me you didn't know about that and I'm hallucinating and sh*t."
" you mean the Electromagnetic pulse that is released in the entire planet and make all the people unconscious for the whole night?
of course, I know that I mean who wouldn't know? but it didn't happen last night, it's over a month already."
"Wait, What!?"
"yeah but you see, you are not the only person who had just awaken ever since that happens, many people all over the world are still unconscious for an unknown reason until now, but it is really strange cause the 10 same patients like you that are also confined here in our hospital waked up at the same time you regained your consciousness.....well I think it's not that strange anymore with all this supernatural thing going on with everybody."
"wow, so it's been a month already huh? ..... *sigh* it feels like only hours have passed."
"it's fine, you've been asleep for a whole month without knowing anything, that's just a normal reaction, that even happen to me sometimes, here at work it feels like I'm here for a whole day already and I just realized that only an hour has just past hehe."

'it only takes an hour of talk with Goddes Emilia but here it's been a month already?'
"it's a lot to take in, uum can you tell me everything about all the things that happened this month while I'm unconscious?."
"mmm...Sure! I have nothing left to do anyway" She grabs a chair nearby and place it beside Ray and sit there. "ok so let's start on what happens after that thing happened, ..."
.... ~ after one hour
.....
".... wow it's already an hour, huh, time does fly fast, oh well I guess that's all I know about the events that have happened in this past month but if there's more, well I'm sorry if I don't know that yet, I don't have that much time to know everything that is
happening around, and hehe *giggle* everything I know comes from what I just heard from the news on television and gossips around so ~ it might not take long for you to also know all this you know, so you should relax ok and let the authorities handled that stuff on their side, you just woke up not many hours ago, you shouldn't let this stress you out ok relax~..." said by the nurse seeing Ray are so into it and looks serious about this.
" *sigh* yeah thank you for that, yeah maybe you're right, I mean why should I care right? I just woke up earlier it's not like I'm the one who is going to destroy that thing hehe, anyway thank you for telling me all that."
" aw it's nothing, anyway I guess we need to cut our little session here, for now, cause my shift hehe~ already ended a minute ago so... I have to go already or I might worry my mom and call me nonstop, hehe..." said the nurse slowly standing up and readying to leave.
"Oh! yes...I'm sorry for the trouble and thank you for today I do appreciate it, so yeah see you tomorrow."
"yeah bye~ see you tomorrow Mr.Williams and have a good night."
"Yeah you too"
...
After the nurse leaves the room, Ray left alone in the room.
"Oh come to think of it I didn't ask for her name... meh I'll just ask it tomorrow," Ray said while trying to lay down on his bed.
"Well judging from what did the nurse tell me, looks like all the forces of Western countries join force to bring down that thing but they cannot penetrate it's defense and decided to just camp there and observe it, and also looks like they didn't know about the blessings and the "Test" yet, but they know about the system and they believe that it comes from that thing,
because like what the nurse told me they announced it on public tv that all the people have what they call also 'the system' coincidence? Nah I think not considering all the weebs all around the planet even me I would call it 'system' from all the isekai anime, manga, and novel I've seen, they just don't know what it is for or it's purpose,
so what the government did is, they tell the people how to access the system, and what the nurse told me is that the system has three features, status/information, News, and shop, but for some reason, the News and shop is locked, only the status/information is available,
the nurse show me her status so I can see what it looks like, there is this feature in the system where you can show your system in public or not, some chooses not to show it but some allow it whenever they want to show it to someone, that's how the government told them to do, to be careful about showing to someone their system because they believe it is somewhat important,
so what I see from the nurse's status is similar to some isekai novel or manga I read, a virtual screen in the air appeared and display all the basic information about the subject.... well not all but ..... you already know about it, but I didn't look into it that much because I know it's rude to look, I just took a glance and that's all I need to know about the basics of the systems, the nurse also tell me how to access the system, it's really easy I just need to think about it appearing in front of me, I wonder who's weeb discover this thing, but when I try it, it shows...
[ failed to access ]
[ Time remaining: 9: 14: 23 Before the host can access the system ]
Oh well that's a problem for
tomorrow, but one thing is for sure, that the "Test" hasn't started yet at least I got time to prepare for that, cause I'm pretty sure that they will not just give us pens and paper and give us some questions to answer, judging from the blessings I got I'm pretty sure also that it will not be a friendly game
and talk about skills I have no idea about the skills I got but I'll just check it tomorrow after the time finished maybe afte-..."
.....
...
"... wait up, who the hell am I explaining this to .... aaaaaahhhh
*sigh* maybe I should just sleep, I'm starting to worry about my mental health I wonder if my brain does get damaged by all the stuff going on."
" sigh* I'll just leave this to my tomorrow self, I'm done already, good night me,"
Ray said while slowly closing his eyes.
Suddenly...
*growl*~
" tch, right I haven't eaten yet dammit."

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

Wretched Brood
I knew I was different from the beginning. I wanted nothing to do with those simpletons that valued only food, drink, and women. So I distanced myself from my brood, not considering myself a goblin. I even tried to become one of the humans, befriending some in the process. I thought that I’d live a relatively happy life as a “human” adventurer, albeit behind a wooden mask. At that time I didn’t know that I’d soon become the enemy of all humanoid races, a being that was despised and feared by all intelligent creatures. The calamity called “Scourge.”
