While the heroes finished their zero day since the summoning, in an unknown place, Julio was still sleeping under the sand, but the first rays of light had reached where he was, forcing him to open his eyes.

The first thing he did was to lift his body removing the sand that covered him with a single blow "Yawn...!" a long and serious yawn came out from the young man's mouth while he stretched his body, rubbed his hands against his eyes and looked around him

"shit, this was all real!"

There was only sand all around him, nothing but sand and besides there seemed to be no end to it "shit goddess could have taken me a little closer to the school, maybe a forest or something, but a desert... the closest one to the school should be the Yuma desert. Well, I just have to walk long enough to get the attention of some satellite, eventually I'll run into civilization, now what was the direction I came from yesterday?"

After walking for an hour or two, Julio heard his stomach growl, he still had some of the food he had taken to school, but he couldn't use it carelessly, he gritted his teeth and kept walking.

"Was it really a good idea to separate me from the group?" asked Julio to himself, he could have transformed himself into a hero, but the only memory of his grandfather made him shake his head "Grandpa still needs me."

A couple more hours had already passed when Julio's mind wandered again "will they have cheating skills like the internet stories?"

Julio's mind wandered imagining his classmates with different armor or special abilities "What would my ability have been?"

"Maybe the goddess forgot to erase my ability" he chuckled to himself as he extended his arm and said out loud "hero menu appears!"

It was two blinks, but nothing appeared, if anyone had seen it they would think he was crazy, even Julio thought of himself that he was doing something weird.

"Sigh... What am I doing?" he looked at the palm of his hand and rubbed it across his face "the sun is really getting to me, I should drink some water, my legs even feel stiffer than usual."

He was sitting on the floor with his jacket over his head to create some shade "open!"

"panel"

"configurations"

"system!"

"window"

"description!"

"Sigh... damn goddess, she really left nothing for me, she even had the nerve to throw me in the desert without any help" Julio cursed out loud with annoyance, he extended his arm once more "statistics"

In front of his eyes appeared that window he was anxiously waiting for, it had the same shape of a golden colored rectangle with white borders, the window of his statistics was separated into two parts. The first one showed the state of his body, from the temperature to the tension in all his muscles, at that moment his whole body was slightly red. In the second part of the system, on the right side was the most important part, the statistics he was waiting for.
