In a 20 meter long room, a bathroom room and a small kitchen which was connected to the hall without much space, the hall had some workout equipment and a single bed on which a handsome white haired young man was seen curled up like a baby.
Vinny walked in to the room and noticed Eshwar has yet to wake up, it has been 3 days since they came back from the dungeon. Eshwar, who fell unconscious at end of the raid has not woken up.
Vinny carried Eshwar to his home because he didn't know where Eshwar lived. He stood beside the bed and stared Eshwar for a brief moment before remembering that day, he released his killing intent while beating Nhifrogr without giving him a chance to fight back.
"…"
Vinny suddenly shuddered remembering that moment, though he knew why Eshwar did that it still scared him, he suddenly remembered his hollow eyes while he killed Nhifrogr.
"Haaa…." Vinny sighed and walked towards the kitchen to cook himself some food.
Eshwar slowly opened his eyes, suddenly snapped his eyes open, jumped out of the bed and got ready to attack anything that moved.
"Hmm?"
"Clam down." Vinny spoke as he stood on guard with the kitchen utensils in his hand.
"Huh? What're you doing here?" Eshwar asked with a perplexed expression on his face.
"…. What do mean, what I'm doing here? This is my house.. " Vinny said in panic.
"…. Huh? Why am I in your house?" Eshwar asked while scratching the back of his head.
"…."
"Guh." Eshwar groaned in pain and fell on his knees while holding his head.
*
"You okay?" Vinny asked Eshwar.
"haa….haa..haaa." Eshwar stared at Vinny as he gasped for air.
"Do I look okay to you?" Eshwar asked Vinny.
GRUMBLE
"…. You hungry?" Vinny asked as cold sweat formed on his forehead.
"…."
"…."
"What're you making?" Eshwar asked after a moment of awkwardness.
*
"Vinny, will you be joining Switch, in a week?" I asked him as I stuffed my mouth with a sandwich.
"….. you mean, the day after tomorrow." Vinny said as he stared at me.
"Huh? No, in a week."
"Yes, day after tomorrow!"
"Huh?"
"…"
"…. What day is it today?"
"Saturday." Vinny answered with serious face, but it felt like he was trying to tease me.
"... okay." I said with a nonchalant look on my face.
'hehehe, like I'll let you tease me.' I stared at Vinny whose face broke with a slight frown.
'So, I slept for 3 whole days huh….' I now have a clear understanding on the human body, like after a bio class. 'why did he have to give me something I know.' Though it still refreshed my memory, why did he give me something everybody knows? I grumbled inwardly and I think something in me has changed? I feel something different but I don't know what.
"…."
"What were the rewards?"
"….. check your system window, you'll get the idea." Vinny said as he took a sandwich from his plate.
"…"
'status.'

"What?!!"
'What is going on?' I don't remember writing any of these in the novel.
'I don't remember playing any games.' I thought my mind was playing games on me because I have been sleeping for 3 days straight, so decided to check it once.
SLAP
"Ow." I slapped myself to know weather I'm wake or not. It hurt like hell, like seriously.
"Pfft."
"…"
"Ahem. I also don't know what's going on." Vinny said as tried to remain calm.

'What is going on?' I don't know what is going, but it's going too fast, if I'm trying to adjust to one, the other is popping out. If it goes on like this everything will end before we even get to figure out anything.
"What were your rewards?"
"hmm? Oh, I got something like a potion and a skill level increase scroll."
"hmmm…" from my experience the skill with question marks has something to do over 'control,' I don't know what, why, how, when, but it activates whenever something is out of my control. And….
"Hm? What level?" there is no 'levels' only 'ranks' for everything. There was never any levels in my novel.
'fuck, my mind is still in the novel.' Anyway, I don't see anything related to level.
"Can I look at the scroll?"
"here…" Vinny handed a scroll, it looked like something directly out of it game. An old paper roll with tied red ribbon.
"how do you know that it's a level related scroll?"
"Take a look at it first."
"…"
[ITEM: SKILL LEVEL INCREASE SCROLL.]
"Huh?" I rubbed my eyes and looked back at the scroll, this process continued for 1 minute before I understood that I wasn't dreaming.
"Huuu…. Vinny call Jiwoo, we need to talk about the future before we go to the academy." I need to discuss with them about the future to check if they know something different.
