I couldn't suppress the insane feeling of laughter with my willpower, so I used my hand to hold my chin. The game of death...

This shit is really fun...

This world is definitely more suitable for someone like me.

Huff huff...

The battle just now was so enjoyable that I almost lost my clear thinking. Fortunately, my last opponent was killed by grenades and the game didn't continue much longer.

Seeing the bed in the corner of my personal space, I decided to rest for a while.

As I lay on the bed and relaxed my nerves, I tried to figure out what the system points I had earned were for.

After a few tries, I found a system store where I could use the system points.

[ Personal space expansion - 1 cubic meter = 10 system points ]

When I saw the purchasable item at the top of the system store, I picked one up to see what it was. Colored lines appeared in every corner of my field of vision at the same time.

Also, a transparent cube appeared in front of my eyes, following the alignment of my outstretched hand.

I understood that the cube in my hand was a cubic meter and that he was asking me where in my room I wanted to place this one cubic meter expansion.

When I counted the lines, I also learned the size of my personal space. The height was three cubes, or three meters, and the width and length were five meters each. So 75 cubic meters is my original personal space.

After thinking about it for a while I decided that I didn't need to expand it any further at the moment, but I had already bought the cube I had, so I expanded the center of the ceiling of the room by one cube.

Then I decided that my personal space looked too broken like this and I spent 30 points to buy a big and functional chandelier.

To hang the chandelier from the ceiling, I turned the bed on its side and climbed on it.

But then I realized I didn't have any tools to hang the chandelier from the ceiling, so I spent 12 points to buy a hammer and nail set from the system store.

Then I found that the walls of personal space could not be pierced with a hammer and nails. Since I was not cowardly enough to go back after getting here, I went back to the system store and bought ten meters of double-sided tape for 20 points.

Unfortunately, the walls of personal space caused the adhesive to slip quickly. Feeling like I had fallen into a pit of fraud, I spent another 50 system points to buy a bottle of white paint that I was sure was specially made for the walls of personal space.

After painting white the extra space at the top of personal space, I decided to leave this place until the paint dries.

[ Remaining system points : 88 ]

Apparently playing two games in a row is not good for my mental health. Fourteen victories a week is enough to get into the best university, and as far as I can see, there aren't many people among the players who can rival me.

It would be strange if there were, though...

The first thing I did after leaving my personal space and teleporting to my bedroom was to lie in bed and take a day nap.

After a period of time I didn't care how long it was, I woke up again and saw that it was dark.

The feeling of hunger in my stomach and the smell of good food coming from outside the room made me decide what I was going to do next.

When I stood up to leave the room and opened the door, I came face to face with Lara. I could see that she was also standing in front of the door, hesitating whether to open it or not.

"Uhm... actually... Uh I made dinner... And you need to get some rest. You haven't left your room for hours..."

"Thanks, you're right. I was hungry too, so I was coming to smell the food."

After a short awkward silence Lara moved out of my way and invited me into the kitchen.

As soon as I got to the kitchen, I saw many different types of food lined up on the dining table. The dining table was already set for eating, but Lara went into the kitchen and started cleaning the dishes.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Uh, no, no, no, I have to stay at the office all night today. I already had a snack while I was preparing dinner for you. Besides, the office will have food."

She's definitely lying. What kind of office has food in it? It's a war zone, people are fighting over a piece of chocolate.

"I see."

"I just saw you got two victories. Congratulations"

"Thank you."

While I was still eating, after a while Lara came and sat across from me and started eating with me. And after a while she told me why she was acting so weird.

"Uhm, you are very tired playing the life games. And I won't be here all night, I'll probably sleep until noon when I come back tomorrow morning. I don't want you to starve."

"No problem, I can make something myself and eat."

"Haha please don't get poisoned again. Better yet, don't even try to cook. I'm your mom, I'll cook for you."

Oww come on... This is one of the worst possible scenarios. I can't use my professional cooking techniques in this world that I spent a long time acquiring in my previous life?

"And uhm... Actually, I've already talked to your aunt. If you don't mind, you can go to their house tonight. Besides, your aunt's daughter is playing beginner's games just like you."

Uhhh, I see. So that was the point. It didn't make sense for her to be working at the office all night long. Apparently she wants to bring a man home tonight. Of course that's not a problem...

Wait a minute... I've never heard the term, beginner's games.
