Is it right to lie?

Erik woke up some hours later, but exactly like the last time he had been at the hospital, he was initially confused, as he couldn't immediately understand where he was. It was natural since the last thing he remembered was being inside the forest and fighting against one of the five men that attacked him. His final thoughts before passing out were that he had been unable to escape the men and that they would eventually take him. However, two notifications informed him otherwise.

[EMERGENCY QUEST COMPLETED. STORED ENERGY CONVERTED INTO EXPERIENCE. REWARD ISSUED.]

[LEVEL UP!]

the young man thought.

Apparently, he managed to complete the quest and escape from the guys, and he even gained another level; judging by the quest rewards, he also got five more strength points.
