It was Sunday morning and I was lying back on my bed. In my hands rested the current book I was reading. This particular one was about how one should 'Hack' a waifu. The author is both brave and courageous, even after being tricked into a crippling debt he did not falter and legend says he is still roaming around the land finding the best girl.
Suddenly my phone started winging and shows up 'Mom' in the id sighed and accepted.
"Yes mum" -Rey
"Hey baby, how are you?' -Mom
'Im doing fine mom' -Rey
'Hey listen,..." -Mom
"...Ok mom I got it" -Rey
" Thats good, now remember focus on your studies, only party once a week and under no circumstances are you allowed to do drugs, you hear me mister!? Also try to get yourself a girlfriend! , how long are you planing to withold my grandson huh!?"-Mom
"Ok mom I got it" -Rey
"And dont hang around with those otakas anymore, one can get too familiar with those cartoon girls you know!" -Mom
"Haah Ok mom I got it" -Rey
"Alright I have to go now, its been a bit hectic here these days. Eat well, love you Reyeepoo! <3" -Mom
"Love you too mom, thanks for calling" -Rey
After a good hour of her bittersweet mothering, which was both annoying and pleasing, my mother eventually let me go.
Putting the phone away. Sighing, I then resumed my book. As I finished my book I received another level of reading. I dismissed the notification idly, But Suddenly I remembered the Inventory skill that I had completely have forgotten about.
Shaking, I excitedly out the word "Inventory". Silently a black screen and silver separators appeared before me, the silver bars separated it into an 8x8 grid. A smile crawled over my face. With shaking hands, I took a book off my bed and reached out for the window. Upon touching a slot with my book, the end of the book vanished into mid-air. The window wasn't changed, however, so I pushed the book completely in. The moment the book was completely inside, a small picture of the book along with a short description appeared inside the slot. However, in my hand, I could still feel that I retained a grasp of the book. Pulling it back out, the picture and description disappeared. I pushed the book back in and as the picture reappeared, I released grasp. I took a look at the description.

I sat on my bed heavily, my hands shaking and my heart racing. I had longed for this, dreamed for it. And now it was a reality. With shaking hands I reached under my bed, felt around for what felt like an eternity, my hands found the rough bark of the club, but it was not what I was looking for. I reached just a bit further and finally felt cardboard.
Grasping the corners, I slid a small box out. I lifted off the decoy textbooks and placed them to one side. Reverently, I took out magazine after magazine and almost coyly, I placed them inside my inventory. To my delight, I was able to place them all inside one slot. In the top right corner of the slot, a small number appeared and steadily incremented as I placed the magazines inside. After I finished, the number had stopped at '64'
The magazines were passed to me by my father and I was told that they were a family heritage. The magazines looked used, old and some of the covers were ripped. But they were of incalculable value to me. Especially over the past month.

Finally, I had absolute security. With the realisation that my collection was now safe, the dark blot in my heart disappeared, a weight lifted from my shoulders.
As an afterthought, I realised I could probably put my bo staff in there too and would have probably avoided all the odd stares I got when I travelled with it to the forest trail.
Reaching under my bed again, I grasped my bo-staff and touched it against a free slot, despite the club being larger than the window, I was able to smoothly slide the club all the way in. A picture of the club then appeared in the slot and I smiled. This was incredibly handy. Taking one of the textbooks I had removed from the box, I attempted to place it in the same slot as the fantasy novel. But I met resistance and a window popped up.
'Textbook' and 'Self-help Book' cannot be stacked
A shame.
I took the self-book out and experimented with different combinations. The clothes were stackable thankfully however they needed to be separated into 5 categories. Which are Heads, Tops, Bottoms, Foot and Arms. I then experimented a little with my books. I came to the conclusion that while same kinds of books were able to stack, I could only take the books out in the same order I placed them in. I was also unable to summon the items directly on top of my body. Instead, I had to reach in with my hand, grasp the item, and draw it out. Destroying my dreams of doing a transformation scene.
Ultimately I ended up filling most of the free slots with the bare necessities, such as my laptop, bo-staff, Kitchen knives, Some clothes, an apple, my bed and finally my alarm clock. Dismissing the inventory window, I was then greeted with a superior minimalistic interior design and a better open floor plan, which I thought was quite genius of me maxing out the available space efficiently.
Eating breakfast with my always improving cuisine. A silent atmosphere surrounded the table, but as I have been experiencing for 4 years now, it was nothing for me as friends are for sheep and are not suited for a lone dragonxwolfxtiger like me. However, a cold stream of air seems to calm my rumbling emotion. Having cleared my mind I continued with my routine of beating up trees.
The trees I have ravaged these past days are starting to form big dents in the sides from where I was hitting it, I was punching and kicking away at the log when I heard a crunching sound was, as the large 3-meter wide tree was couldn't take the strain of my awesomeness anymore and had prostate itself down to me like a grandson respecting I his father. As I was grinding my skills, I got accustomed to my abrupt rise in stats and slowly but surely got closer to controlling my strength with precision.
