Alex stares at his stats, and the section showing his Fantasy Coins balance fills him with deep pain and regret. But seeing all those new skills—and more importantly, feeling his enhanced body—brings a wide grin to his face. His mind feels sharper, his body stronger, and his senses more heightened than ever before. “This was worth it!” he thinks. The basic skills may not be great on their own, but they scale with his stats, and since his stats are all above average, even the basic skills are quite effective on him!
"Wait, 1337, you may have ridiculed my math skills before, but 70 HP x 1.15 from Basic Endurance’s improvement isn’t 80. Shouldn’t it be 80.5? Why did you round it down?"
[Host will most likely not survive with just 0.5 HP. Is the host interested in testing it out?]
"... it’s fine like that."
Completely broke, Alex decides to leave the Skill Hub. Though tempted to check out the Trading Hub, he chooses to leave the Fantasy Realm for now. He desperately needs sleep, and time still flows like Earth’s here. His real-life situation worries him. The last time he was headed to Mario’s for some pizza, he ended up a bloody corpse on the street. Where will I end up when I go back? I need to find out.
It should be near midnight by now.
After a brief walk back to his room in the Fantasy Realm, he pauses, glancing around once more. "Damn, this room could use some decoration... but I guess I won’t be here that long. Still, even if it’s only four weeks, and that repeats a few more times, I’m looking at months.”
He steps onto the marked platform. “1337, bring me back to Earth.”
[Acknowledged]
The world before him blurs and fades, and within seconds, Alex finds himself standing on a dark street. Not just any street, though—the same street he had walked down hundreds of times before. The street where he died not too long ago.
