Chapter 10: 10. Magical Pugilist

“Ah!” Alistair cried out as he regained consciousness. The only thing in his brain was a primal urge to kill or be killed and he flailed around with useless limbs.

“Alistair! It’s okay, you’re home. We killed General Krazz and completed the Quest,” Alexandra said, forcibly pinning both of his arms down with her higher Strength. Alistair grew red as he realized what had happened, and that he had almost hit her with his wake-up throes.

“Sorry about that,” he apologized sheepishly. “My body must have still been in fight or flight mode. How long was I asleep? And how did we make it back to my house? You should have no idea where I live.”

“You’ve been knocked out for a good twelve hours. I was worried you were in a coma, to be honest. As for how I got you here, I was lost at first as well, but your Regional Map has a marker for your house. Never mind that, did you do it?”

“Do what?”

“Reach level 15, doofus” she replied. “Once I selected a Class, my Health and Mana fully healed. Check out my new status screen.”
