[SELECT LANGUAGE/NATIONALITY ▾]
I smiled as I looked at the floating black words. I selected English and Korean since the game description mentioned it was set in America. Plus, it was a great opportunity to improve my English.
[SELECTED, WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY WITH A TIMER]
I stared at the slowly appearing black words, and I said, "Yes." I needed to do something anyway, so this would help a lot.
I thought about how long I should play and said, "An hour," as my eyes shone with excitement while the clock turned and set the time.

[◇ Warning: The game is immersive and can cause the player to experience intense pain ◇]
[◇ Would you like to lower your pain/stamina? ◇]
[◇ 0 ----------------------------------------------* 60 ]
[◇ 0 ---------------------------------------------*100 ◇]
I wondered about the purpose of using my XP on stamina and if I could do this instead. I moved both sliders to zero, not wanting to feel pain in the game so I could finish my projects quickly.
[◇ Are you sure? Y/N ◇]
I clicked Yes, and my eyes blurred as the screen enveloped my vision. My body felt light and warm.
