Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Evaluation

Arin stepped inside.

Near the entrance, humanoid units stood on both sides. Their movements were precise and controlled, each motion smooth enough that it didn't feel rough or mechanical.

He slowed slightly.

In his previous life, he would have taken interest in something like this. The structure, the balance, the movement—there was a lot to understand just by observing.

For a moment, the thought came.

Take it apart.

See how it works.

He stopped himself.

This wasn't the time.

He would look into it later.

He moved further in.

There were no visible staff waiting around. No crowd gathered in one place. Everything was handled quietly through systems rather than people.

As he stepped forward, a soft light formed ahead.

A small projection appeared, hovering in place.

It looked like a young girl.

"Hello," it said. "Welcome."

Arin paused briefly.

"My body condition," he said.

"I understand. I'll assist you."

A panel appeared in front of him.

Basic Health Scan — 300 Credits.

He confirmed.

The floor shifted slightly, forming a circular platform. Arin stepped onto it.

A faint field passed over his body.

The sensation began lightly, then deepened. It moved beneath the surface—through muscle, through blood, through areas he couldn't clearly sense. A brief pressure formed around his chest, then moved upward before fading.

The scan completed quickly.

"Scan complete."

A display appeared.

Name: Arin Solis

Age: 13

Physical Condition: Severely weakened

Body Stability: Low

Nutritional Deficiency: High

Blood Condition: Impure, low vitality

Toxin Levels: Elevated

Muscle Condition: Underdeveloped

Internal Strain: Present

Arin read through it quietly.

This body hadn't just been weak.

It had been worn down over time, not just weakened.

"Your condition requires recovery across multiple areas," the projection said. "Basic support alone will not fully resolve it."

A new panel appeared.

Treatment options.

The first group loaded.

Nutritional Recovery Package

Restores basic energy and balance

Blood Cleansing (Basic)

Improves blood quality and circulation

Toxin Reduction Therapy

Reduces accumulated toxins

Muscle Restoration (Initial)

Improves muscle condition gradually

Internal Recovery Support

Stabilizes internal organ function

Vitality Boost Injection

Provides short-term recovery support

All priced in Credits.

Arin went through them one by one.

Each addressed part of the problem.

None solved everything.

The next group appeared.

Full Body Regeneration

Restores overall physical condition

Advanced Blood Renewal

Replaces damaged blood and improves vitality

Deep Tissue Reconstruction

Repairs internal damage at deeper levels

Complete Internal Cleansing

Removes toxins and restores internal balance

These were priced in Stellar Credits.

The difference was clear.

The first group improved the body step by step.

The second group aimed to restore it completely.

Arin remained still, looking at the options.

There were too many ways to approach this.

The list stayed open in front of him.

The projection hovered slightly closer.

"Would you like a recommendation?"

Arin nodded.

"Yes. Show me the best options for my condition."

The panel adjusted, filtering out most of the list.

A smaller set remained.

Nutritional Recovery Package

Balances energy and restores basic function

Internal Recovery Support

Stabilizes organ condition and reduces strain

Blood Cleansing (Enhanced)

Improves circulation and removes minor impurities

Full Body Regeneration

Restores overall physical condition to a stable state

Advanced Blood Renewal

Replaces damaged blood and improves vitality

Arin read through them carefully, not rushing.
