Accidental Healer

Speaking of things I don't know—Didn't I just get a healer class?

I wasn't excited about it, but I was definitely curious. The problem? I had no idea how to check.

I frowned, then did the first thing that popped into my head—

I reached out, clapped my hands together, and made a dramatic swiping motion, like I was summoning a hologram in a sci-fi movie.

Nothing. Okay, maybe I needed pure focus.

I closed my eyes really, really hard, willing a status screen to appear. Still nothing.

I squeezed my eyes even tighter. Started seeing stars.

Maybe that's a good sign…?

Nope. Just me, giving myself a migraine.

Sighing, I finally opened my eyes—

BAM.

A glowing status screen hovered in front of me.

Looking over the screen, I could almost cry. This was everything I wanted. Maybe even better.

But then I reread the bonus objective. And the title. I read between the lines.

"Life's Gambit" – Risk equals reward.
"Man or a Mouse" – For idiots who skip tutorials and remove their safety nets.

…This system thought I was an absolute dumbass.

And honestly? It was probably right.
