Max Stats in the Apocalypse

In a hospital room, two nurses and a doctor were observing a patient in a coma.

They were browsing through data and comparing each of them. And just when they were sure that there were no errors, the doctor checked the eyes of the patient.

"The patient is stable. And the muscle movement he had earlier, it was clear that he was regaining his consciousness." The doctor announced.

The nurses just nodded then left the room with the doctor.

When the patient was now all alone in the room, his fingers moved again. All of the fingers started to gather and were clenching into fists and suddenly... the patient woke up.

Roger regained his consciousness, and just when he looked at his body, he was dumbfounded looking at an unfamiliar environment.

Rather than unfamiliar, it was as if he didn't know this.

"Am I in a hospital?" He mumbled something then slowly lifted his body to sit.

'Has it been years? It felt like that. I am finally back... But I didn't expect this, huh. I didn't die on Earth.'

"Status."

Roger called his status and a display window appeared before him, showing all of his ability and skills.

He sighed then closed his window.

'I had my previous status. Did I really come back to Earth alive? I am still 18 despite living 80 years in Kluma.'

(A/N: Kluma is the name of the world he was from.)

Regaining his third life, Roger knew that this phenomenon was a bit complex. Even with it, he wasn't interested in knowing and just closed his eyes.

He went back to laying down and sleeping for hours straight.

While he was sleeping soundly, the door to his room slid open and a lady entered. She was Iana, Roger's girlfriend.

She was carrying a flower basket by her side and was also wearing her smile in front of him.

It was something she could do so that she wouldn't be saddened by what happened to Roger. Finally, after 2 years, he finally showed a sign of waking up. But even still, she was still depressed about the suffering Roger experienced.

"I'm back," Iana uttered, then put the basket on the table by the side of Roger's bed.

She took a chair and sat next to his bed. After that, she held Roger's left hand.

"I heard that you are showing signs of regaining your consciousness. When I heard it, I was happy. I couldn't help but leap in joy just with that good news. So please... can you wake up now...? I can't endure it anymore." Iana said, with tears flowing down her eyes.

She continued talking about all that had happened and the things she also endured, trying to hold onto their relationship and also their lives.

Iana was too depressed, and after an hour, she left the room with a smile.

"I am going now. So please, wake up. We need you." Then she closed the door, walking away from Roger's room.

Meanwhile, Roger twitched his eyebrow. He slowly opened his eyes, then peeked at the door.

"Who was that?" he asked himself.

It has been years. Also, his memory of Earth was getting blurry since it was overshadowed by his memories of Kluma. However, even though he didn't know who that lady was, he felt sad for her.

"I felt her sufferings. Now I wonder, why does it feel like I've been longing for her?" Roger mumbled, then a memory from Kluma flashed back in his mind.

He smiled as he remembered the only woman he loved.

"Iana..."

The beautiful face of Iana flashed back. The memories they created, as well as the sufferings they shared, were becoming hazy.

"It's been 20 years, huh? I never thought that lady earlier would make me remember you, Iana." Then a bitter smile came after.

Roger didn't open and peeked at the lady who had visited her. And only if he peeked, would he see the resemblance between Iana from Kluma and her.

He sighed once again, then closed his eyes, going back to sleep.

After a month... Roger will finally be discharged. Even though it was good news, he was still longing for someone.

'The lady from a month ago, she didn't come back, even though I am being discharged now. I thought she was a relative of mine.'

"Roger? Are you okay?" asked his mother, Lorna.

Roger smiled. "Yes, mom. Don't worry about it."

Then they followed the process of discharging, and finally, they were on their way to the parking lot.

Just in one month, Roger remembered that he had a family. That was why he was longing to come back to Earth. But that reason, in the course of time, was forgotten. But even still, now that he could remember it, he was happy enough to see his family again.

"Mom. Can I ask? Did I have any girlfriend?"

Because of the memory loss, his mother was used to questions. But this question Roger asked made her dumbfounded.

"I-I... don't know..." then an awkward smile came after.

Roger just nodded.

"I see. Thank you, mom."

Roger also smiled after saying 'mom'. He remembered the time when he first saw his mother again, he called her 'mother'.

Because of that, her mother was worried that Roger might have damaged most of his brain.

That scene in his memory, Roger couldn't forget about it. The way her mother was flustered and worried about it, he thought that he'd never make her experience it again.

"Moth— mom, thank you for waiting for me." Roger suddenly said.

When his mother heard it, she suddenly paused, then looked at Roger.

"Why? You are my son. It's my responsibility to wait for you to come back. You are a part of me, and I love you, my son."

Roger smiled after her mother.

'I see... So this was my mother 80 years ago.... I'll never forget her again.'
