Part 1 Fatigue

  I felt cold and damp, so I opened my eyes, to know what happened to me, then I discovered that I was floating in a yellow viscous liquid, inside a glass tank.

  "Ding Ding!!" I was surprised to hear a ringing in my head, which frightened me, then I heard the mechanical female voice saying:

  "There is no elixir potion in your inventory: 1 potion is automatically created.

  Ping! You've spent 20 fatigue points!" At the same time, something heavy, like a small pepper canister, appeared in my hand. So, I felt a lot more tired than I was a moment ago.

  "Ding Ding!!" rang the doorbell again in my mind. Then the lady's voice in my head said:

  "There is no Metal Man Potion in your inventory: 1 potion is automatically created. Ping! You've spent 25% Fatigue!" With which I was startled and inadvertently let go of the Elixir, simultaneously feeling as if I had been awake for 18 hours, my eyelids they started to droop from tiredness.

  "Ding Ding!!" I heard this damn bell again and let go of Metal Man's concoction, as the Elixir appeared in my other hand. At the same time, I heard that since I spent 20 fatigue points again, then everything went black.

  I don't know how long I was unconscious. When I woke up the doorbell suddenly rang, where an Elixir would be automatically created. So, when I feel it in my hand. I held it tightly, mentally preparing myself for the next chime where the Metal Man concoction appeared. Once I had one in each hand, I tried not to let go. So as not to lose consciousness, in that fatigue loop.

  I looked everywhere. For some reason I didn't understand, my movements were as slow as if my body were extremely heavy. Despite that strange fact, I could see that around me there were more tanks, with that yellow liquid, with more humanoid bodies, floating in them.

  At this moment I discovered that I was naked. Also, underneath me were at least 4 closed bottles, at least 2 oz, each where 1 had a mercury colored liquid, one was empty, and the other two have a green liquid.

  Apparently, my inventory depended on my pants pockets. I opened my mouth to say menu, then I discovered bitterly that this liquid had a slight bitter taste, and whatever it was it allowed me to breathe and was somehow satiating my hunger.

  Now I thought about my menu state in my mind, with the intention of opening it and in front of me appeared a light blue window with white letters that said:

  I found out that I had a faulty system, I had no more money, I had lost 5 hit points, my speed was at 0, I didn't have any equipment, which made my attack value 4 and my defense 0. I only had 5 items, 2 of them were the newly created potions and 3 digital items.

  I decided to open the guide to understand what happened to the system.

  "You've entered the game guide Retsuken Word version 999-1, a guide made for fans by fans!" I read inside the window where my status menu is.

  "Do you want to save your game and create your secure site? YES or NO." A dialog box like the ones in Windows appeared. I looked around and thought:

  "What could be safer than floating in a tank with liquid of dubious origin?" The truth is my house, but there is no way to remedy it at this time. So, I press yes to the window. This disappeared after telling me that the safe point was successfully saved. Something I didn't understand, nor did I give it importance. Once this window disappeared, I continued reading the guide which said:

  "This guide was edited by the Goddess Gaia, XXII century year 58, Friday, October 31. " How convenient the day this started!" It crossed my mind.
