On the bus that was supposed to take me to my morning class at the university happen what will be universally called the "Global Reset". On my point of view, it happens unexpectedly, I was sitting with my headphone on, scrolling on social media on my phone and suddenly I was on the ground, my phone gone, like everyone who was on the bus with me. 

 

Standing up I look around and the spectacle was strange: no building to be found only people confuse everywhere, my clothing changed as well it was like someone decided to drag me to a cosplay party, it was the same for everyone, plain clothes like we were back in medieval time. 

 

Despite the silence that follow we weren't afraid: we all understood, everything was just gone, no one died. The building, infrastructure, tool: all of it disappear, the culmination of the event was that everyone had a ring on, upon touching it a screen appear out of nowhere in front of me.

Is this a game? Is everyone on earth been transported to a game? Curiosity took the best of me, I played a lot of video games before going to college and I sometimes dreamt what it would feel like but it never occur to me that reality was going to change like that.

 

A brief look around told me that people started to discuss with each other trying to figure out what was going on, I heard a kid telling his mother to check her ring making the effect that those who were nearby doing exactly that. 

 

5 remaining points to spend... I decided not to think too much about it, I knew what I was going to do, spend everything on one characteristic, the problem was to choose which one, going by logic Mind would make me smarter, Force would make me stronger and Agility would make me faster. But what does Spirit would make me?

 

The unknown was tempting, everything was unknown: Why were there no more things constructed by man? Why everyone has been bestowed a ring with a strange ability?

 

I tap the Spirit word five times hoping it would spend the points and it did.
