I finally managed to secure a week long vacation after working my ass off on a major project in our company. After buying groceries that will allow me to not leave the house for a week, I hurriedly returned home, took a bath, ate and finished the whole layer of dark chocolate cake I bought on my way home.

It's been a week since I last logged in on the MMORPG I have been playing on almost all of my free time in the past months.

True my character isn't that strong, but I'm really proud of all my achievements and stats as it's the first ever game I played without relying on anyone. Well my guildmates often comment how much of a loner I am, not really participating on guild runs or interacting with any of the guild members. Still I'm pretty nice and respectful to everyone so I don't think anything is wrong with that. After all, all I really cared about is improving my stats so that I can do all the runs by myself.

I had planned on locking myself in my apartment and just play the game the entire week. I didn't really leave the front of my computer unless going to the bathroom or making food and even that I often only have instant cup noodles. I was so determined to level up and finally move on to my character's fifth job that I didn't care if I have not taken a bathe for days and turned my coffee into water.

Before I knew it, it was the last day of my vacation. Although I was feeling very bummed, the fact that I finally managed to get my character to a fifth job worthy level put a big smile on my face. All the grinding and saving I did for days paid off and I couldn't be any happier to return to work tomorrow. That is if I managed to wake up early though, I haven't slept properly for days after all.

I paused my game, and stood up from my computer to head to the bathroom, right after the cinematics of the transformation. As much as I want to try and play with my new set of skills and abilities, and explore the new areas I can access, I know that I really do need to sleep so it will just have to wait untill I wake up or get home from work tomorrow.

Apparently I'm more sleep deprived than I thought because I couldn't even balance myself as I stood and everything was a bit blurry, next thing I know I'm already falling with my face about to hit the sharp end of the fork I dropped sometime ago. Somehow I knew that I'm really about to hurt myself, if not seriously injure my eyes but I just can't seem to do anything to avoid it. The only thing that flashed in my head is the regret I felt for not being able to experience the fifth job class I worked so hard to get for the past week. Stupid, right?

Turns out, I really didn't have anything to regret cause I was about to experience something on a different higher level...
