System Crash

            "At least, we get to eat three meals a day as dogs," Shin muttered as he watched the assailant go. His joke could not get a reaction from any of them, though he knew it would barely have any impact on such a situation.

          "My status window," cried Ileana in horror. "It's not working."

          Shin frowned and saw the other person knitting his brows as well. Shin checked, but none of his mental commands worked. There were no status windows, as if there were no guardian system in the first place here.

          "What do we do?" Ileana wailed, eyes moving around in frenzy. The calmness she presented all time was nowhere to be seen. Currently, she was only a sixteen years old girl, with no idea what was going on with her life.

          "Calm down," Shin called, ignoring his own worries. "Take a deep breath and remember your training. You are better than this, Ileana. Breathe in and out."
