《The Fading Sunshine》Chapter 6

**Teams POV
We were all tired that morning, so we scrimmaged to wake ourselves up a little. Everything was going smoothly until Hinata went in for a quick attack and seemed to have spaced out in mid air. When he landed he hunched over and was breathing really hard.
"HOW THE HELL DO YOU MISS THE WHOLE BALL DUMBASS!" Kageyama screamed.
Everyone looked at Hinata, expecting him to come back with a smart remark like he usually does. But he just kept looking at the ground as if he couldn't hear us.
"Hinata..." Suga said.
Almost immediately after Suga called his name, Hinata collapsed on the ground unconscious.
Asahi yelped as Kageyama and Suga rushed to his side.
"SOMEBODY GET SOME WATER!" Daichi yelled. Yamaguchi ran to Hinata's bag to grab his water bottle.
"Let me help." Everyone looked up and they were all shocked to see Tsukishima was the one that was offering to help. "My brother used to pass out sometimes from exhaustion after his games, so I think I know how to handle this." Tsuki said calmly.
"Someone get me a chair." Tanaka ran to the side of the gym and retrieved a chair to bring back to Tsuki.
Tsuki worked calmly and quickly. He raised Hinata's feet and sat them in the seat of the chair.
"What is that supposed to be doing?" asked Nishanoya.
"Elevating his feet will help direct blood flow to his head."
They all sat stared at the boy on the floor for a minute or two. "He's not waking up, shouldn't we call an ambulance?" Kageyama said getting irritated.
"Give him time, you can't rush waking him up. It could lead to more damage to his brain." Tsuki said getting aggravated.
At that moment, Hinata's eyes and nose scrunched up as if he had a headache. The whole team crowded in slightly closer and stared at him, waiting for him to "come to".

"W-what happened..." Hinata said groggily.
"You fainted in the middle of our scrimmage game." Noya said.
Hinata pushed himself up on his elbows and looked around. He stood up and stumbled over into Tsuki, who caught his under his arms.
"Well what are we waiting for, let's finish the game." Hinata said walking back to the net.
The team just gawked at him, not knowing what to say. How could he possibly feel like playing so soon after what just happened.
**Hinata's POV
"Uhhh, I don't think that's a good idea." Daichi told me. "Maybe you should go home and rest."
My stomach dropped. "No really, I-I'm fine." I laughed nervously. "I was just thirsty, I'm sure after I get some water i'll feel good as new."
"Well I cant make you go home, but I can tell you this. You need to sit down, you can sit for the rest of morning practice." Daichi said in a serious tone.
I relaxed a little since I didn't have to go home, but I was still sad I didn't get to keep practicing.
"Ugh, fine..." I muttered in defeat as I slid down against the wall.
I watched as my team finished up the scrimmage game while I cooled off.
Suga and Asahi's side ended up winning 25-22.
As soon as the game was over, I walked up to the clubroom and decided I wasn't going to class today.
I just needed a day away from everything, so I grabbed my things and walked to a park a little ways away. I used to go to this park every weekend during the summer with my mom and Natsu. I haven't been back since they died so I figured it could be good for me to go back and visit my old play area.

I sat on the bench and stared at the kids with their parents, wondering why they weren't in school at this hour. As I was reminiscing at the thought of my childhood memories, my eyes started to feel heavy. I allowed my self to drift off to sleep. It's strange really, i'm alone and surrounded by strangers but i've never felt more at home. My eyes fluttered shut and I took a much needed break from reality.
I was awoken by a game on my shoulder. I sat up and saw my friends from Nekoma, Kenma and Kuroo, standing over me.
"Why are you sleeping out here all alone?" Kuroo asked. "Yeah Sho, you could've been taken or hurt." Kenma said softly.
"Oh it's really nothing, I just came here to calm my nerves. I used to come here when I was little and hoped it would help."
"What are you nervous about?" Kuroo asked curiously, sitting down to my left.
"Oh well, me and my dad just got in an argument and I just hate it when we fight." I mumbled.
Argued? That's not even the half of it. But they can never know about my dad, they would think i'm pathetic.
"Well, do you want us to walk you home? I was about to try and convince Kenma here to go on a run with me." Kuroo said while jokingly nudging Kenma.
"No, it's okay. It's not that far a walk." I said with a nervous laugh.
"Alright then, I guess we'll see you Monday right?" Kuroo said. "Yeah you are coming to the camp, right Sho?" Kenma asked hopefully.
My chest tightened. I had completely forgotten to ask dad for permission. Great, another thing I get to look forward to doing.
"Oh yeah for sure, I look forward to seeing you guys there!" I said, trying to look as enthusiastic as possible.
"Alright, see you then!" they both said as they walked away.
Well crap, when am I gonna ask dad about the camp? I hope he's in a good mood today.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.
