The blaring sound of my phone's alarm jolted me awake. Groggily, I slowly opened my eyes and found myself in a modest hotel room with just one bed. Earlier, I had decided to check into this room, desperate for some sleep after the long and exhausting night.
I glanced at the clock and noticed it was already 9:00 am. It seemed pointless to go to school at this hour, and I was certain that Alice needed more time as well.
"What should I do today?" I wondered aloud, determined to use my time wisely when I wasn't chasing after her. While my mission was undoubtedly crucial, leveling up and earning more XP were also top priorities. In a worst-case scenario, I could focus on increasing my charisma to offset any potential penalties.
I knew that a permanent deduction in my attributes would be a setback, but it wasn't as if it would completely cripple me.
My primary concern should be focused on increasing my strength right now.
