A distant, melodious piano tune wafted over...
Upon hearing the piano, John felt his eyelids grow heavy, continuously battling against sleep.
A sense of exhaustion enveloped John.
At this moment, he felt immobilized, not out of incapacity but from a lack of will to move.
His consciousness seemed to drift into a dreamlike state.
John glanced at his attribute panel:
[Your spirit is being invaded, mind power -10.]
[Your spirit is being invaded, mind power -10.]
...
His mind power kept depleting.
Startled, John hastily reached into his backpack, producing a mental replenishment pill which he swallowed, allowing his mind power to slowly rise.
As John consumed the pill, he noticed the decline in his mind power halted.
Then, a faint yawn echoed from the distance, so soft, yet every note of it reached John's ears.
A man dressed in pajamas materialized, appearing right before John.
