Transmigrating into an endless Death Cycle

8. First Encounter, First Obstacle (2)

This time I woke up in a room resembling a hospital room.

'The hell! System, what happened?'

You are currently in the infirmary of the academy after fainting on your way to the dormitories. While you were in the process of receiving your reward, you were killed and the Game System transferred you back to your last Save Point. Afterwards it resumed to transmit your reward, resulting in creating this situation.

'Killed? But I just arrived! And I did not feel anything!'

Notice: Due to the disturbance while transmitting your reward your body is suffering from a backlash. Right now all your Stats are lowered by 10 points.

Your skills are influenced by your low Stats.

"Please, you have to be kidding!", I cried. Pain drove itself deep into my heart. It had been a while since I last felt like this. My breathing became harder and uneven. I had to reprimand myself to keep calm.

Terrifying.

It was terrifying how much I already depended on my skills. Calmness and Awareness were only lowered by one and two points but without them I felt incredibly insecure.

'This isn't permanent, right?'

Much more worrying than my skills were my Stats. I barely caught up with the other nobles and now I was back at the beginning? Furthermore some Stats were even lower!

As the Game System already explained, your body right now is experiencing a backlash from interrupting the incoming information. It is a weakened state and can be nourished back to health, however, each death in a weakened state could worsen your current condition by a lot. You have to be careful.

How could I be careful if I could not comprehend what killed me in the first place? I was in a dream-like state! Furthermore in Sophien's memories, she was either killed during her suspension or returned without experiencing the Assassin Flag. There was no case of being targeted right after returning to the academy!
