Mostly regular panties in different colors, some boyshorts, a couple of mostly plain bras. There's a dark pantyhose, a black thigh-length skirt, some jeans, mostly washed out, another hoodie, red this time, a regular sweater and a couple of different colored t-shirts and tank-tops. "I don't exactly dress to impress, huh? Now what should I choose..." You're naked but for the towel that is wrapped around you.

[short off-topic post to answer your edited question! I haven't planned on adding more skill points yet, but that might change, depending on how long the story will take to come to an end! There will be other skills though that will get added to the game as you discover them, and these skills will have governing attributes, meaning that you will not be able to train a certain skill further than the governing attribute allows it. I'll put some examples of possible skills and governing attributes in the spoiler below: ] Spoiler All skills can be leveled up to 100. If a skill has one governing attribute, it can not be higher than ten times the value of its governing attribute. Some skills might have more than one governing attribute, sometimes the governing attributes get split unequally, for example 70% strength, 30% agility, meaning to get that skill to 100 you'd need at least 7 strength and 3 agility. Some examples, there will probably be more skills: Hacking, governing attribute intelligence Psychic powers, governing attribute intelligence Blunt weapons, governing attribute strength Energy swords, governing attributes 70% agility, 30% strength Ballistic weapons, governing attribute agility Quote Link to comment

Less professional, true, but more understandable. ] Executing commands. You decide to go for a simple combination of a regular bra, some boyshorts (comfy!), jeans and the red hoodie. The jeans have a little hole just over the left knee, but they're still good enough. The hoody feels surprisingly soft and comfortable on your skin. You put on the hood, giving you a nice and protected feeling, helping you calm down considerably. For the first time since you woke up you now feel like your thoughts are starting to focus a little bit. "Okay. Just stay calm. It'll be okay. One problem at a time. I can do this. Now, how do I find out what happened to me... and most of all, who I am." You're snuggling your hoodie. You feel a lot calmer, and a lot warmer. Your hair is still slightly wet from the shower, but the hood is keeping your head nice and warm. Your feet are naked, but they're warm enough for now. Your throat feels somewhat parched.

You can make out the rumbling sound of a train passing close by, while rain keeps on beating down against your window. Your tummy feels a little bloated from the bottle of water you just drank, but you're not thirsty anymore. You feel cautiously hopeful.

Breathe in. And breathe out. Little by little you manage to pull the memory back from the depths of subconsciousness. You somehow feel like before all this you had made very sure you'd never forget this password. With your nerves calmed down and your mind focused, you find the confidence necessary to recall the one bit of information you need the most right now. With shaky hands you start typing the password. What if you were wrong? What if the system locks you out forever? Input password: ****************** "Come on... please... yes!! It worked! It's booting up! I knew I could do it!"
