As Xin entered the house, he found Xiaxia sitting in the living room, scrolling through her phone. Her fake blonde hair was wrapped in a towel, and she wore a casual shirt and short shorts that showed off her slender legs. "Hey, you're back! Where have you been?" Xiaxia asked. "Bathhouse," Xin replied, sounding uninterested. "I left you a note." Xiaxia scoffed, not convinced. "Four hours just for a bath? I don't buy it." Xin glanced at her briefly before heading to the bathroom to wash his…

"Whoa! It really is Xin!" Xin was surprised by Rever's warm welcome. He certainly didn't expect it from the man who he barely interacted with in the past. Rever was still that tall redhead with piercings who approached you like he was going to punch the shit out of you. "Xin! Damn! You're really awake!" Rever exclaimed, sitting down across from Xin with a big smile on his face. "I thought you'd never wake up. I even sent you flowers." Rever was still the same straightforward guy Xin knew. He…

"Xin?" Xin was surprised to hear a familiar voice calling out his name. Turning around, he saw a woman with shoulder length violet hair. She had a gentle aura surrounding her. Her warm, purple eyes were a little slanted, and her fair complexion and petite figure gave her a soft and charming appearance. She had a sweet smile that could brighten anyone's day. "Yuzuro?" Xin was surprised to find her here. What was she doing in a place like this? Dressed in a kimono for staff, Xin almost didn't…

After returning home, Xin attempted to log back into the game, but the system kept logging him out, insisting that he needed sleep. "Looks like we can't cheat the system," Xin sighed. He was impressed by how accurately the system detected his need for rest. Within a minute of closing his eyes, he fell into a deep sleep. The next morning, Xin and Xiaxia were met with their usual early morning chores. Their mother had prepared breakfast before leaving for a Saturday meeting with her boss.…

Xin continued foraging and interacting with NPCs throughout the day. By the time he finished exploring the shore, he felt accomplished, having covered all the NPCs and foraging spots in the area. He felt satisfied with his thorough efforts. Xin examined his loot, and so far, he had obtained: ∥ I T E M S ∥ ? Aloe Vera Stalk x2 (Rare) ? Breath of Life Algae x2 (Very Rare) ? Butterfly Bush Bloom x4 (Rare) ? Maiden's Call Bloom x1 (Very Rare) ? Adamantite Ingot x5 (Rare) ? Glory…

Xin directed a simple fire spell toward the Vulture, but it only caused a mere 80% reduction in its health. The combination of his weak spell and weapon was not enough to defeat the creature in one shot. The Vulture screeched and lunged at Xin with its sharp claws. Uncertain of how to engage in physical combat, Xin had no other option but to rely on his sword. With the fire spell still on cooldown, he bravely faced the incoming attack and swiftly thrust his sword into the creature's head. When the…

Xin didn't want to stay idly at home since it made him think of unhappy thoughts –– mostly about Meilyn. He needed to occupy himself with a lot of things to take off his mind from reality. Guildbane offered such escapism, and its timing couldn't be any more perfect. Xin logged back into the game, realizing that he didn't have a weapon. It dawned on him that he had been wandering the dangerous shores without any means of defense. It wasn't a necessity before since Triton mostly killed the…

As Xin and Xiaxia strolled through the bustling mall, they entered a store showcasing various gaming headgear. Xiaxia initiated the conversation, inquiring about Xin's desired headgear. "So, what kind of headgear are you looking for?" Xiaxia asked curiously. Xin pondered for a moment before responding, his eyes fixed on the array of headgear options. "Something that would allow me to play the game nonstop." Xiaxia burst into laughter, finding Xin's request amusing. "Oh, there's no such thing,…

Xiaxia's confidence had returned as she enthusiastically explained the mechanics of spell and skill slots to Xin. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she delved into the details. "Though it may seem confusing at first, it's actually quite straightforward," Xiaxia began. "Each class has specific spell and skill slots that determines the number and level of spells and skills a character can use at each character level." She gestured animatedly as she continued, "For instance, at your current level of…

"I'm glad that you're seriously considering your class, but don't wait too much. It could potentially impact your overall stat," Xiaxia advised. Xin was aware of it, so he didn't comment. "By the way," Xin lowered his cup. "Does anyone have, like . . . infinite stats in the game?" Xiaxia, absorbed in her meal, glanced up at Xin in surprise. "Infinite stats? No, there's no such thing," she replied dismissively, her attention quickly returning to her food. Xin had suspected as much. "What about…
