*Yawn*
Xavier yawned tiredly as the sun rose and lit up the dark cell. The other two have fallen asleep already, shivering from the cold as he did throughout the night. Even though he was cold and tired, Xavier was happy as he was able to figure out a few things about the Stigma Window. Firstly, he learned how to keep it open, but place it at the corner of his eye, so that it doesn't obscure his vision. Secondly, he found out more information about the attributes.
"Stigma Window(Average Attributes)"
HP: 50/50
Energy: 5/5
Class:[]
Skills:[]
STR: 10
AGI: 10
VIT: 5
FORT: 10
These were the average amount of attribute points that each person would normally start out with. This allowed Xavier to know just how powerful he was compared to an ordinary person. And he could safely say, he wasn't as weak as he thought.
He also found out how to raise his attributes with the points the window gave him.
"Stigma Window"
Name: Xavier
HP: 60/60
Energy: 5/5
Class:[]
Skills:[]
STR: 5
AGI: 7
VIT: 6
FORT: 13
Points: 55
He decided to raise his VIT attribute, as from his perspective, it was the most important. If he was going to survive in this hazardous environment, then having as much HP as possible is going to be important. For the first three attribute points, it took 10 system to raise them by one, ans to raise it to six, it took 15 system points. He decided to not raise it anymore and save his coins for future use. He also ate more of them fruits to push his HP to the max.
"Rise and shine everyone!!" A guard said loudly as he dragged his baton across the iron bar door at the entrance to the cell, stiring both Maria and Mickey from their sleep.
"Fuck, can't you guys give me ten more fucking minutes!!!" Mickey shouted and the guard opened the door, walked into the room and lifted Mickey by the collar with one hand and delivered a punch to his stomach and then to his face.
"Awake now?" The guard asked menacingly
"Y-yes." Mickey answered as he breathed heavily.
"Good." The guard said and released his collar, causing him to fall to the ground. The guard looked around the room, and saw Maria who was trembling, while standing up and Xavier who was standing with the bag on his back.
"All of you, head to the yard. The place where the Orb of Eldara is. Move it!!" The guard said sternly, and Maria quickly rushed out of the cell, while Xavier stopped and offered Mickey a hand.
"I don't need your help." Mickey said, hitting his hand away, while standing up shakily and clutching his stomach. Xavier rolled his eyes and helped Mickey walk past the guard and out the cell, all while Mickey glared at him.
"Why are you helping me?" Mickey asked
"Because, there is danger both on the inside and outside of the city. So, making a few friends, especially with someone who I have to share a cell with doesn't seem like such a bad idea." Xavier replied and Mickey snorted. The two of them soon reached there destination and Xavier helped Mickey sit on the ground, before walking through the rows of prisoners.
'Good, it doesn't seem like they are making us leave immediately.' He thought as he noticed the guards standing around the perimeter where all the prisoners were gathered. While clutching the eye catching bag on his back, he looked for any prisoners who didn't go north with him the previous day, and he soon found three sitting with each other.
"Hello there fellow convicts." Xavier greeted them with a smile, but they took one look at him before glaring at him.
"Piss off." One of them said, but he still smiled
"Come on now, don't be like that. I just want to ask you something." He said and opened his bag. Seeing inside, the prisoners licked their lips and looked at each other with a smile.
"You know, we haven't eaten in a few days now, thanks for the free meal." One of them said as they rose to their feet. Realizing the situation was not going the way he wanted, Xavier closed the bag and slowly backed off . The three of them walked towards him menacingly while licking their lips, and Xavier was preparing to run away when the three of them froze.
"Fuck off." A familiar voice said and Xavier turned around, and he could see Mickey standing behind him. The three prisoners looked at each other before rushing towards them. Xavier sighed, before rushing towards one of the prisoners, who sent a punch at him, but he easily dodged and delivered a punch to his jugular. The prisoner fell to the ground, struggling to breathe and Xavier looked over to where Mickey was. Both prisoners threw punches at him, but he kicked one of them in the stomach before tanking the punch from the other, taking it in the face. Ignoring the pain, he grabbed his hand and delivered a savage uppercut to his chin, lifting him slightly off his feet, and onto the ground.
"You bastard!!" The prisoner who Mickey kicked earlier, said as he ran towards him and Mickey took a boxing stance. As the prisoner rushed towards him, Xavier came flying in and knee strike to his face.
"It seems my kindness paid off." Xavier said and Mickey snorted, and walked towards him
"The only reason I helped you is because you have food and I need information as much as you do." Mickey whispered, before looking around
"Let's go, we have attracted too much attention." Mickey said as he noticed a lot of prisoners and a few guards looking at them. Xavier nodded his head, following behind him with a smile.
