Alex continued meditating in his Mind Space, allowing his physical body to slowly regenerate.
'I'll continue to gain back my energy until I have at least enough to allow me to exit the hole I'm in. I'm not sure how long this will take, but it looks like it will be a while based on how the area in the Mind Space is still all red.'
Turns out, the restoration process was excruciatingly slow! It took over 12 hours until Alex noticed that the environment in his Mind Space was no longer dyed red; instead, it had transitioned into a soothing purple color, which he assumed meant that he was no longer in a critical state.
'This should be enough,' Alex nodded and exited his Mind Space.
Finally, back in his physical body, he felt that he was significantly better than when he first entered his Mind Space.
Since it was now a new day, Alex first wanted to check whether a new daily quest had been issued, and as he expected, there was.
