Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
Conscious

Riko found herself lying in a hospital room. Not a random space because the room is so spacious and filled with luxury furniture. Beside her, Gladys clasped Riko's hand while crying as she pleased. Mona also sat on the other side of the bed, while her fellow guildmates sat on the sofa that was also in the room.

“Riko? You are aware?” it was Pekik Mona who first realized that Riko had already opened her eyes.

The young man groaned slowly. His voice was hoarse as if he had not spoken for a long time. His body was also very limp with an infusion hose attached to one of his wrists.

The cry of Mona invited the other children in the place to rise to their feet and immediately swarmed Riko. Gladys looked up and looked at Riko with her eyes full of tears. Mona also stood up and approached Riko's body which was still drooping. Other than the two girls, there was still Zein and Rizal who were also there. Jaka doesn't look anywhere.

“Rik, finally you realize? I'll call the nurse first!” exclaiming Zein then slid away through the automatic sliding door.

“How are you feeling? Want to drink?” asked Mona attentively.

“Iya, can. Where is this?” asked Riko who despite knowing that the place was a treatment room, but not sure that he had ever visited the hospital.

“Medical Center for players. This Hospital belonged to the Holy Bible Guild. The priests who healed you said that your body was injured because of the attack of another Assassin skill from inside your body,”, said Rizal, who was also a priest.

“You've been in a vegetative state for three whole days, Rik. The healer said you might not wake up again if it is past five days unconscious,” Mona said while holding out a glass of water.

“Where is it?” ask Riko later.

Mona and Rizal looked at each other. Meanwhile the already calmer Gladys replied with a quivering voice. “Jaka. That damn thing is like we are betrayin,” he said while wiping tears. One hand of the girl was still holding Riko's palm.

Riko sighed grimly. “So anyone knows why Jaka did it?” asked Riko later, still hoping that his friend was under threat until finally forced to follow Rangga's will.

Unfortunately, no one answered, a white-tuned priest and two nurses with similar tunics emerged from behind the automatic door. Zein walked behind them with a gasp of breath, as if running away.

“Thank God, you are finally conscious. I'll check your body condition for a while,” said the priest who looks young.

Riko's colleagues who had been swarming on the side of the bed were retreating to give a gap to the priest to check on Riko. Both of the priest's hands were stretched forward. Golden light emerged from his palm and then enveloped Riko's entire body. A comfortable warm feeling greeted the young man, it was like Riko's vitality was restored instantly.

“I've sent healing energy. So far, what we have done is to treat your body so that it does not weaken. I know that your consciousness is thrown into the dimensions of the system. We can't do anything to call back your awareness of it. But thank goodness you can finally find a way back. Now you only need to recover stamina and then can go home,” the priest said kindly.

Everyone in the room nodded. Even so, Riko's mind was still branched out. In addition to Jaka, Riko was also still faced with the possibility of not being able to use her Weapon Mastery skill.
