Potential is but a tool, derived from experience and used in pursuit of greater heights.

I blanked out at the screen, the sudden appearance of grey and blue boxes only served to confuse me.

Pain once more courses through my body as a wave of light flows from the blue screen into my eyes.
Seconds later and the pain had abruptly vanished.
I sat down on the ground. Squatting softly I fell back into the wall as I collected myself.
slowly resting my head I tried to understand what I was feeling in that moment.
Pent up feelings from last night had been building in me, for lack of a better word, I was terrified.
What am I supposed to do?
I know that none of this is my fault, but the guilt weighs so heavily on me.
Was it my fault?
I know I could have stopped the suicidal episode which resulted in his death, but I still can't figure out why I did nothing.
Sitting there as the howls of dying surround me I barely composed myself again.
I was still terrified, and had no clue what to do next, but it was not a crippling fear like before.
The roar of a beast rumbled down the hallway.

Sound waves crashed down on my body as a result of the oppressive wave of force.
I used my new skills to try and see what made that noise.

...Fuck this shit
I dashed down the hall as a timer starts on the prompt.
10...
Desperately trying to escape the message, I pray that it has an effective range that I can exit.
9...
The hall ways are different here. I had chemistry here before, now the wing is replaced with more student dorms.
8...
Running
5...
Dead end. I have to backtrack.
4...
Panic Sets in and I hear a few alerts through the system.
3...
No time to check it.
2...
"HELP" I yell.
time slows as I round the last corner.
I can see it there, an outer rim of a glowing circle. The end of the effective range.
Dan, Christine, Damian, and Terrance also see the barrier, and call out to me as the light once again rips me away into the event dungeon.

Pink Mage
There are many types of Mages; The Arcane Mages stuck in their towers studiously dedicated to magic and understanding, The Elemental Mages the most powerful and versatile branch, and finally the color mages who are a potent mix of the two. Of the color Mages, there are the primary Red, Blue, Yellow the rare White, Black, Infrared, and Ultraviolet the legendary Gamma and Beta, and finally there are the secondary colors, also known as the mixs Green, Brown, Orange, Purple, and finally Pink. Updates will be sporadic based on inspiration and motivation. Warning: I am a lazy uninspired individual so ya... So the inspiration for this is how everyone online is always a carry or assassin and nobody plays support classes to help the team. Also, there have been studies that the "support" roles at work in RL never get recognition for keeping the company cogs greased and turning. It's always the "top" [employee title] and the extra stuff people do to keep the business running is never appreciated. So I decided to wright Pink Mage. He is a support, though he has spells so he isn't a [Support] and incapable of defending himself. None of the classes are completely useless in a fight or without proper application. But the [Pink Mage] class is bugged so that there is no way to gimp the system to legendary status. All the other Solo legends can... well... Solo, but a [Legendary Pink Mage] can't solo, period. Sure he could cast a mix of spells so that an army is basically chickens on the chopping block but he would still have to go out there and gut them with a knife one by one. I don't own the title image, It was grabbed from public domain. Warning: the content warnings are real, though the content warned of is sporadic. I don't try to right that content specifically but Micky's life won't shy away from it! So yeah, rating R... Note: This is neither a 'Feel Good' or a 'Tragedy' and doesn't have those tags for a reason. This is the 'Real' biography and adventurers of the MC as I see the fantasy universe. So it is neither going to have extra lucky encounters or terrible ones (Except there will be, because you know, story.)
