Right now I am sitting in the chief of medicines office thinking. The skill book is on the desk in front of me. I am just thinking of some things. The first is my vitality on the menu. It still says 0 even after I leveled up! I know it said it when I leveled up, but come on!! I just killed a walking tree with a face for god sake. I guess because of my crappy immune system it was zero and I further screwed myself with my conjuring skill. I hate to admit it but I hate my new skill.

But there is nothing I can do now so let's move on. Next is the tree that appeared. Before I just thought it was just the zombies. But that tree, or treant the window called it, puts everything in a new light. No matter how you look at it that was no zombie. So I can only assume things from make believe exist now. I just wish I knew how far away from normal we are. Now the book is up.

From what I know alchemy is something like taking plants and making them into something. I didn't play many video games growing up so this is confusing. I don't even know what a skill book is. I mean, I get it has something to do with gaining a skill but besides that nothing else. I continued to think about the book for a few minutes. Alchemy makes things like potions and poisons I think. While poisons would normally be helpful to anyone I have my disease ridden breath and the canister so I have no need for the poison. Though the potions might help me.

I remember a young male nurse say how he got a potion in a video game that could turn his character invisible. He also said he found one that could resurrect his character if he died. Maybe stuff like that can be found in the book. Well I guess reading it won't hurt. I have food here and a bed with many blankets and pillows. I finished surrounding the perimeter after I grabbed the book so I don't have to worry about intruders. Even if they get through the fog there is still zombie groups placed at every entrance. Which means I have a good security system.

I will have to go out sometime but for now I need some sleep. I had a long day today so i'll read the book tomorrow.

*Next day*

I woke up the next morning in darkness. I guess the power finally quit. I remember there is a generator in the hospital. But it's on the lowest floor. I got dressed, went to the kitchen in the cafeteria and grabbed a quick bite and then headed to the stairwell. I went down until I reached the bottom. I looked in all the rooms. There wasn't any bodies or blood so I guess not enough people were down here for something to come look for them. I located the generator but I didn't have much first hand experience with technology. Luckily there was a sign on it that said how to start it up.

When the generator was running I headed to upstairs to get some medicine. I take a shot every other day so that I can go to school. Now I need to stay in my best shape. When I reached the medical supplies I looked through the names until I found what they usually give me. I grabbed a needle and prepared everything. I knew how to do this because i've gone through it a thousand time. I put the needle in and injected myself but I then screamed and fell to the floor thrashing. IT BUUUURNNNS!!!!

As soon as I injected myself I was in so much pain that I couldn't think straight. It felt like my body was right itself from the inside out. For a good 30 min I was flailing like a fish. At the end I felt something about come up so I quickly took off the mask and threw up. What came out was really dark red sludge. What the?! I tasted blood in my mouth but seriously?! It shouldn't be that dark or sludgy. This is weird, how did this happen? My best guess is the stuff in my body mutated and is messing with my body.

BUT THAT IS REALLY DANGEROUS!! WILL I BE ALRIGHT?! I kept this up until I cooled off. So I am a medical mystery, stranger things have developed recently. I just sighed and went on with my day. Taking note that I shouldn't take my shots anymore. I checked on the stiffs and they were still just standing around. I went to the directors office and picked up the book I left on the desk yesterday and started to read.

It was mostly about what tools you will need and how to properly use them. Then near the end it talked about things like

HEALTH POTION (weak)

MANA POTION (weak)

Poison (weak)

Along with what ingredients I need which were actually common plants.

DING

SKILL RECIEVED

ALCHEMY LV 1 (0/50)

All of a sudden a torrent of info entered my head. Besides health and mana there is also one for stamina. There was much more but I couldn't see it. The best way to describe this would be like when you have a dream and when you wake up you immediately forget the details but you know you had it, that sort of thing. It seems that it's separated by level. Does that mean I will get better recipes if I level it? Maybe if I can max it I can cure myself of all this crap. YEAH, it's decided that I will work my butt off to level this skill. I need to collect materials right now! I looked through the directors office and saw a old medicine bag. I can use this to carry the materials. With that I left the hospital.

(A/N: Here is the bag. I do not own this picture.)
