As John severed his psychic connection and returned to the real world, daylight was already streaming in through the windows.
He rose from the VR game chamber, stretching lazily.
Another night without sleep had passed.
Indeed, since the advent of VR game chambers, many gaming enthusiasts have treated these devices like their own beds, immersing themselves in them at night.
They'd work in the real world by day and journey into the gaming realm by night.
Entering the game world through a mental link allows the body to fall into a deep sleep, without affecting rest.
John had long grown accustomed to this lifestyle.
Even after experiencing so much in the game this time, he felt no exhaustion.
On the contrary, he was exhilaratingly invigorated.
After a quick meal, John was preparing to dive back into the world of Godslayer when his phone suddenly rang.
