Studying, and exercising make the players stronger, a game where being good in real life makes you better at the game itself.
It made most students unable to say it's because of the game that they can't study as the game makes has people study or work out to be stronger in the game.
Josh didn't need to say an excuse at his teachers of course, he was a genius that always had his grades above the 95% mark.
The game however didn't want grades, it wanted to test smarter people, made stronger people lift more weights. Josh liked it and disliked it at the same time, the capsule was only 200 $, and once every month they paid 5 $ for playing the game, average people earned 7,500 $ and the capsule could be considered cheap, Teachers could introduce them the game as a past time to make the students indirectly study.
The game was doing it for indirect advertising and the teachers knew it, the game that used the players want for fun to make them study was good for them, It was a win-win situation for everyone.
Josh went back to his home tired after threatening to call 911 on women that didn't knew his actual age. Josh forgot to eat outside and he could only tolerate his bad cooking once a day so he played the game and made the capsule wake him up after two hours
Josh entered the game and felt refreshed, his stomach which was rumbling moments ago felt no hunger. It was the game sending information and making his brain think it just woke up, and that he just ate 2 hours ago, it was a wierd feeling for Josh but couldn't deny it, the game made his brain perceive a new world and he was amazed by the thought until he remembered that he ate nothing on the game and he felt like he was about to starve to death 'I hate realism'
He walked out of the room he was in and went to the river. Luckily for him his trap had a fish in it and started a fire by rubbing two sticks together for 10 minutes straight.
[Learned Passive Ability: Survival LV.1]
[Fire starting is easier for you. you can start fire in less than 5 minutes]
"Good" Josh's lips curved upward
"Time to cook this fish" Josh threw the fish into the fire
The fire didn't get put out, but the fish started sizzling.
Sizzzle
Josh doesn't know how to cook so he started flipping it as he heard the sizzling, Josh flipped it more than ten times which was good for him cause if he didn't he either would have a fish blacker than charcoal or a fish that's still raw.
Josh was happy with his food and started eating. Josh teared as he never had his cooking taste normal. Josh stood up and looked for a spot that was shaded from the sun and sat there,

he was listening to the chirps of birds and had a nap

Josh looked at his stats and wondered,
'How do I use Mana Manipulation?'
[You have woken up]
Josh woke up and held out his hand
"Mana Manipulation!"
His hand exuded golden light , the light seemed to do nothing. His held his hand out but nothing else happened his face which showed excitement was now showing slightly irritated expression. He took a deep breath and calmed down he went back to the river to have a bit of a swim.
The river water was cold and Josh felt refreshed. Josh wanted to experiment and held out his hand and shouted "Mana Manipulation!"
Golden light permeated throughout his hand and about 300 litres of water started rising up.
He didn't see the amount of Mana he had until something on the top corner of his vision started blinking and the clear white color of the text turned yellow, [Mana: 800/1100].

Josh gained two skills by hanging out in the water. He was both refreshed from swimming and from gaining combat abilities. His timer sounded, it was like dreaming of your crush's confession and the morning just suddenly ruins your mood for the day for waking you up.
