'Damn, this fucking sun!'Bernard said while sweating inwardly profusely like a criminal on the loose, he kept a straight face as he took another step, and with this, he was under the sun, but it wasn't anything to feel happy about, because even his thought process had become slow just like how everything had been half, as Bernard stood under the sun he began to wonder what he would be able to do to avoid always feeling weak anytime he enters the sun.
However, he seemed to have underestimated the effect of the sun on him, because as he stood there trying to think of what to do, this became the only thought in his head for over five minutes, and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't think of something else, his mind felt like it was inside a quagmire and groggy, other than that was the vampire instincts to run away from the sun to find a cover.
Bernard felt a bit conflicted, the day he got the system was when the problem began, however as if to make matters worse as he evolved and became a halfling the sun seemed to bother him even more than he had thought it would, not only was his entire stats and attributes halved but even his thought process seems to have been halved as well it was like each time he entered the sun beside his thoughts being halved his brain would become fried, other than normal minimal thoughts he wouldn't be able to think about other things for too long.
As he stood under the sun the sweat he had been trying to hold back began to gradually pour out, even though it wasn't that hot, not just that he was also starting to have weird delusional thoughts and headaches and any moment from now, he was sure he would start hallucinating.
Finally, after a while though, Bernard decided to take shelter once again, the reason he had decided to walk inside the sun was to understand how his body reacts to it and how to come up with a solution for it, he couldn't help but look at his bracelet to check how many credit points he still had let inside, after doing this he didn't leave where he was and instead decided to find a place to sit, as he did he didn't start thinking about what he had just experienced.
Bernard closed his eyes to feel the calm and cool atmosphere, while sitting down he couldn't help but admire how peaceful the atmosphere was, from time to time he would see people walk towards the sun and act like they couldn't feel anything and judging from their expression they were definitely not pretending like they were fine, from where he was he couldn't help but look at the sun and the moment he did his vision blur a bit however he didn't look away and simply continue staring at it, soon his eyes were bringing out waters like he was crying.
After a while, he was still staring at the sun and didn't seem to have any intention to stop, while he was doing this someone soon walked past him, however, the person couldn't help but look at him weirdly when she saw what he was doing, she was spotting a beautiful sunflower dressed with a big hat on her head along with a nice flat shoes and waist length red hair.
While staring at Bernard, she turned to look at the sun just maybe she could see what he was looking at, but when she did she realized she could not see anything except the blinding light rays of the sun.
"Are you okay?''The girl couldn't help but smile.
Bernard at this moment finally paid attention to his surroundings, and couldn't help but look at this unfamiliar face and her big hat. It must have been heavy to move with such a thing on one's head, he thought.
"If the sun is really bothering you, why don't you stop looking at it?"The girl said with a puzzled expression, although she had no clue why he was looking at the sun, but she was sure the sun was definitely bothering him although it was weird considering symbiote users shouldn't be affected by their atmosphere that easily, but then she couldn't help but thought just maybe his own was related to those special type of symbiote bloodlines that were affected by the sun.
"It's okay if you don't want to answer, but if you keep looking at the sun you just might loose your sight for a while."The girl said with concern while staring at him.
Bernard smiled instead he really wasn't sure what to answer and if she was just being caring or showing concern for a complete stranger because she felt he might be affecting his symbiote bloodline and himself.
However, the reason he wasn't answering was not that he didn't really have anything to say but because the girl in front of him looked exactly like his dead girlfriend, so when he saw her he really couldn't say anything and simply just kept quiet while admiring her even though he knew his girlfriend was dead and never coming back, however, he didn't want that beautiful memory of her he still had to go.
In this situation, was he meant to say anything and be honest with her? Or just admire those beautiful memories of someone he knew was dead and he would never be able to see ever again, in the end, Bernard didn't want to think too hard about it and just decided to keep staring at her, and if she felt he was harassing her then so be it he would just deal with it.
The two of them stared at each other in complete silence and carried on for a while until the girl began to feel embarrassed however there was one person that wasn't, Bernard, while staring at her there were some memories that resurfaced about his girlfriend playing in his head, and at the same time he couldn't help but think about living a simple peaceful and ordinary life.
Then a thought came into his mind, and he gradually remember all the things he had gone through back on earth, all the bullies, being weak, being looked down upon, starving most of the days, and also losing his loved ones in the process, all these thoughts and memories resurface in his mind made him feel sad, and finally the fateful day he got the system."Yeah, I think I'm better now."
Bernard said with a smile, and looked around eventually he realized there was no one, however, he was sure someone had been there before because he could feel the waters on his eyes he got from looking at the sun was no longer there, someone seemed to have wiped it away.
