Chapter002 Bad Dream

(A:N, thanks for the support for the first chapter.)

Word Count: 1489

I felt the soft cushion under me, opening my eyes, the white ceiling was the first thing to catch my eye, sitting up I looked around the room.

It was pretty clear that I was in the hospital, the tiles floors, the curtains, all the medical devices,

But even if I'm in the hospital, I'm just happy that it was all a bad dream, and I survived that crocodile attack.

Inspecting my body, I didn't have any wounds or scars, which left my confused.

While I continued to try to make out what happened, a blue panel appeared in front of me

'Welcome, Archimedes Sinatra, to the Chaos Insurgency.'

'…'

'God, fucking, damn it.'

Letting out a sigh, I decided to check my status, since the instructions to use the system was also transferred during that 'Torture Session'.

Viewing all the Assets, my mouth was wide open, never did I expect I could draw real people, and was even given a real gun…

Hitting the confirm button, everything was added to my inventory.

'Maybe reincarnation isn't too bad…' I thought to myself before exiting my hospital bed.

After exiting my bed, I switched to my chaos insurgency uniform, which is a dark green camouflaged long sleeve shirt and pants, with knee pads, fingerless gloves, bulletproof vest, gas mask and helmet, but I kept those last two off, as they were uncomfortable.

[Chaos Insurgency Uniform]

After slinging my AKM over my shoulder in case of a wild animal, I started exploring the hospital, since it was supposed to be an Abandoned City, I thought it was going to look decrypted, and not touched for years, but everything they had was brand new, and looked like it was never touched.

It even had power, which shouldn't be possible without someone manning it, but it might be because of the system, or whoever made it.

The offices and rooms didn't have any personal belongings, it's as someone built this hospital yesterday furnished it and left.

The more I walked around, the more I got creeped out, it's as if everyone vanished, but I guess it's called Abandoned City for a reason, I guess I should be thankful I didn't have to start in a place that's like Chernobyl…

After exploring most of the hospital, I finally found an exit outside, the parking lot was completely empty, so I decided to summon the other members of the Chaos Insurgency

Opening the system, I moved back to the page that showed me all the Members I drew, and hit the summon button.

Then a large plume of smoke appeared in front of me, engulfing most of the parking lot, but dissipated just as quickly and revealed several people in the same Chaos uniform's, the one that was in front of all the others quickly saluted, and the rest followed.

"Liuetentant Nashio Tsukasa reporting for duty!"

At first I was nervous seeing so many soldiers, in front of me, but seeing them all treating my with should respect, I knew I couldn't screw up the first introduction.

"I need you to sweep this city, apparently it's completely abandoned, if you find any person, animal, or supermarket make sure to take note of it, is that clear?"

"" Yes Sir!" they all responded.

"Alright, in about an hour, report back, and you have permission to take any abandoned home as your sleeping quarters, but if it's too large, you might have to share it in the future, you're all discharged."

"" Yes Sir!"" they all yelled once again, before leaving to explore the city

Watching them all walk away, I couldn't help but think about their loyalty towards me.

'Well, they should be quite loyal to me since, they're part of the Chaos Insurgency, but I don't really have to worry too much about that, as long as I treat them well.'

Technically I have 9 soldiers, only the Lieutenant and the Privates have rifles, while the engineers, medic, and chef, just have a sidearm.

Since I told them to meet back here in an hour, I guess I have some time to burn, I'll check out the other things I got from the draw.

"System Inspect Chain of Thorns."

~~~

(Caster) Ability: Chain of Thorns (B-) Level 1/10

Summon Sharp Vines, to entangle or snare enemies, after firing the Vines you can control it to your will, making it move in air or in any direction, and can even tunnel underground.

After the target is cut by the Thorns of the vine, the target will be paralyzed.

~~~

As I sat down reading the entry for the ability I decided to try it out for myself, it seemed quite useful after all.

Extending my hand, I attempted to activate the ability, and a large vine of thorns shot out of my hand and wrapped around a tree that was planted in the parking lot.

'Wow, the thorns cut a lot of the bark on the tree, they're probably sharper than a razor blade.'

Attempting to retract it. I messed up, because the vine proceeded to rip the tree out of the ground.

'Well, I wasn't expecting that much power…'

After messing around with it for a bit more. I got the hang of it, and even learned how to tunnel with it, but I was running out of time, since it's been around 40 minutes since they left, so I should probably check out the other items.

"System Inspect Illuminati's Confession."

~

Illuminati's Confession (CI-65)

CI-65 is an amulet, Black metal of unknown origin surrounds a large emerald, upon saying the phrase 'It's a secret to everyone.', the amulets anomalous ability will activate, eyes of different sizes will appear all over the wearers clothes, the wearer of the amulet will receive knowledge of whatever the eyes see, and can manifest eyes in shadows of a known location.

~

Taking the amulet out of my inventory, it looked different from how I thought it would look, but not in a bad way.

[Amulet Image]

I put it on, and said the phrase.

"It's a secret to everyone."

Lots of eyes appeared on my suit, they all had different pupil shapes, some like a snake, some frog like ones, some human ones, it was kind of creepy, but I felt very observant of my surrounds, like I had eyes on the back of my head.

I was about to test it out more, but Illuminati's Confession alerted me, turning around, the first person returned from the expedition.

'It seems I don't have time to inspect the other items.'

"Welcome back, Lieutenant Nashio, do you have anything to report?"

Nashio looked at the eyes on my uniform weirdly, but he quickly snapped out of it and gave his report

"I have noted down the location of two supermarkets, and a store that sells firearms, and I found a map for the surrounding area's, and It's quite strange." Nashio said while handing me a large map.

Viewing the map, I couldn't feel astounded by it, the city is only connected by a singular road, connecting us to the nearest town, which was about a hundred miles away, and it was all clearly in Japanese

"I see, thanks this will be useful, you can sit with me while we wait for the others to come back." I said to Nashio.

"Yes Sir!" Nashio replied with the same uptight attitude.

"You know you don't have to act so uptight with me, we're all comrades here, just call me Archimedes." I said to Nashio trying to make him more comfortable.

"I see, thank you, Archimedes, Sir." Nashio replied.

'Well that's a little better I guess…'

"Hey Nashio, you probably know the other members of the unit, do you mind telling me the rest of their names, i only really know yours." I said embarrassed.
