He spent six hours. And then another 8 hours to spend the whole day in the game, for a total of 14 hours in real-time.
After checking the time, Misho opened his smartphone. He hologram-called Maia.
"M-Maia?"
Misho looked at her figure in the hologram with some embarrassment. For some reason, he was shy of her. This wasn't the game world anymore.
"Misho..!"
Maia was happy to see him, but it was obvious that she was also embarrassed now that they were back in real life.
"W-Well, do you feel tired?" Misho asked to break the awkward situation.
"No. I feel like I just woke up from sleep. It's really weird," Maia replied.
"Yeah. I was sleepy in the game, and then I wasn't when I woke up." Misho agreed.
"So…"
Maia blinked her eyes repeatedly at Misho. She was telling him something through her blinks.
"Y-You want to do it in real life..?" Misho asked in a whisper.
"N-No! I'm asking about the forum. Have you checked the forum?"
Although Misho couldn't see Maia's facial color due to the blue hologram, he was able to see her blush through it. She wasn't expecting his words at all.
"*cough* I haven't yet."
Misho pretended nothing happened. It was quite embarrassing to ask her something so blatantly sexual when she didn't mean it. He could only thicken his skin this time.
"Great. Let's look together. The forum should show us the same data."
Maia also pretended he didn't say anything.
"Sure."
Misho and Maia opened the forum at the same time.
"[Effects of death] This post should contain what we're looking for," Maia said.
Misho nodded his head, and they opened the forum post simultaneously.

EFFECTS OF DEATH
My name is FreakBuster in-game. I was too arrogant and climbed a 100-meter cliff. I fell halfway.
I was immediately logged out of the game and penalized for 24 hours temporary ban. It was awful. I heard others were able to travel around the world while I died so fast. Please don't make the same mistake I did.

Misho and Maia became slack-jawed from the punishment. It was a whole day of lost time. That was the equivalent of three days in the game.
The comments on the post were hilarious. A lot of the players were only leaving the game now. The upvotes were still climbing as Misho and Maia stared at it.
"So we should avoid dying at all cost," Misho said.
"Mm. Three days means a lot in terms of progress. The other players will easily surpass us," Maia replied in agreement.
"Are you about to reach Essence Sea too?" Misho asked her.
"I only need 30 man's essence."
"I need 20 woman's essence."
"Misho, should we..?"
"It's the only way to improve fast, right?" Misho replied with a wry smile on his face.
"T-Then… After we wake up, l-let's do it!" Maia said with shyness and determination in her eyes.
"Yes!"
Misho's little brother became hard thinking about what they would do after they woke up in the game. It was a natural bodily reaction of his.
The two of them felt competitive after seeing the other players' comments. A sense of desire to be recognized and to be the strongest in this new game, especially after becoming Village Heroes.
The feeling of glory was exalting and rewarding.
"Let's check a different post."
"[I can't believe I had sex with someone] Err… What the hell. The next one is… [Beginner Demon Guide] Oh! It looks like this post is popular," Maia said.
They opened that post.

BEGINNER DEMON GUIDE
My wife and I chose the demon race. A male demon is an incubus, and a female demon is a succubus.
We found out that you need to gather mana or a man/woman's essence to improve your cultivation. As husband and wife, we were easily able to reach the Essence Sea-stage.
This game is amazing. I feel more vigorous, and I could last in bed for longer.
That's basically it. Also, try not to waste your coins with the gacha. It's a scam.

Misho and Maia glanced at each other almost at the same time. They could understand what the other was meaning without saying any words.
[We should do it more…]
That was in their head. It seemed like they weren't the only people that were teleported to the same place. It was a huge advantage over the others.
They looked at another eye-catching forum post.

BEWARE OF THOTS
I will not say my name, but a woman tricked me. She asked me to partake in dual cultivation with her. We were both demons, and we managed to rise in cultivation levels.
But I found out that she was already married! I gasped in horror!
Don't fall for these tricks, or the husband or partner will hunt you down! I'm warning you!

"Puhahaha!" Misho laughed loudly after reading the forum post and the comments.
It was very amusing. He turned his head to look at Maia. She stared at him silently as if the post wasn't funny for her.
"What's wrong?"
