《Wandering through the stars》Chapter 3: Open status
Advertisement
I was able to raise my body a little this time. After calming down, I looked around to see if there was any connection between my map skill and the area I was in. There were bars, three walls, and a small window. It was definitely a prison. It looks like the perimeter of the skill is around 4-5 meters in each direction, then a circle of around 2 meters? I gave up trying to calculate it because my math knowledge is so shallow. The map seemed to show only what was visible. Earlier, however, I couldn't see the space around me, so how was it displayed... Aargh! Dammit, my head hurts!
My body screamed in pain as I stood up, and when I was up, I had to lean on the wall because suddenly I was dizzy. There was nothing but darkness on the other side of the bars. I assume it was nighttime. I suspect so, judging by how little light I could get from the window. I had to find out where it was. Based on earlier events, I did something bad (I don't remember); I got beaten up (I remember) by my own brother (I don't remember), and now I'm in a prison (where is this?). Hmmm. This was way more messed up than I had imagined. Looking at the state of the room, the sword fight earlier, and the fact that I am royal and got beaten in the arena... Am I going to die?
I was gripped by fear. Having no knowledge at all coupled with the recent events made my body start shaking. Additionally, my body started hurting, but it didn't seem to be from my injuries from the fight. "Badum" "Badum" "Badum" "Badum" Wha...t ?! Why does this keep happening to me? Why? Why? What did I do to deserve such treatment? I didn't bother anyone, I kept my mouth shut, I worked hard...so why? Tell me WHY?!?!?! WHYYYYYYYYYYY?????????

The "SNAP" of a loud sound startled me and I felt liquid flowing and mixing with the snout on my face. Everything went dark after that. I passed out.
.....
I woke up feeling someone kick me in the stomach. I admit I was hungry but did you have to kick me so hard? That hurts. Let me sleep for a little longer. Just give me one more hour, it's not like I am demanding too much.
“My dear brother, wake up!"
As soon as I heard those words, I jumped, but my legs were not strong enough so I fell down. How could I not when I remembered my little brother? However, before my eyes was a little girl, not him. The two of them had the same appearance and voice, so it is likely they were related. But why...
"Splash"
As I lay on the ground, something stale and smelly was thrown over my body. Immediately after smelling it, my stomach contracted and poured everything out. The only thing I had to drink was water, proof of my sudden hunger, which was worse than earlier. I could see the girl and a few soldiers on the other side of the bars laughing like no tomorrow as I coughed my life away. Since it wasn't as bad as I thought, I got used to the smell after a while.
Having no idea who to talk to, I asked those people, "Why are you here?".
"Is it not possible to see my dear brother one last time?" the little girl giggled as if she said something funny.
"Last...time? What do you mean?" I was shaking already, but I'd rather know than not know.
As soon as I said this, the other people started laughing even harder than before.

"My dear brother will go to Heaven today!" she exclaimed. "Or Hell!" The others all laughed louder when they heard this.
"You bitch, do you think it's funny to laugh at somebody like this? You scumbag...Guh!"
Although my mind was in chaos, I knew that I was lashing at someone who was "probably" innocent. At that moment, I saw her pointing at me and felt something in my chest. An impressive chunk of ice was firmly embedded in my chest when I looked. I fell on my back as blood spurted from my mouth. However, since a piece of ice was also on my back, I felt miserable as I felt the ice move in my chest. What should I do? THINK!! I must get this thing out and be treated! I can't breathe! Help!!
As I was losing my mind again, I remembered the strange lines I saw earlier. It was like some sort of system, wasn't it?
"Open..bleah..system"
"What are you saying?" asked someone confused. "Check him and treat him!" ordered the girl.
What the heck, bitch? Are you treating me now? Meanwhile, a few system windows opened in front of me:
*Ding*
*Critical condition*
*Debuffs: Bleeding, Open wound, Asfixiation(medium), Hunger(medium), Fear(medium), Madness(low)*
*Health in critical condition, losing health due to additional debuffs*
*Mental stability in critical condition, losing mana due to additional debuffs*
*Report: Host will die in 10 seconds*
*Report: Memory recollection failed, setting this memory to a low rank*
*Report: Time of host awake: 2:31:47; setting this memory to the lowest rank*
*Report: Detected huge emotional impact in the future, setting additional conditions to.....*
"I didn't want that, you crazy...."
I died.
