Okay, most likely 1 and half chapters today due to Twilight Princess ;p Never got to play the original, so, you know, reasons. Many thanks for finding the problems with the long chapter- I'll fix that in a moment after lunch. I also took the time to update the title and synopsis of the book, tell me what you think :).
Also, there is a lot of tables in this chapter. This is not going to be an every chapter thing, but it had to happen eventually.
Enjoy!

Steel rubbed his eyes as the black space in front of his face vanished and revealed the training room. When one's stamina ran out, hp would start to decline, Once a player's hp reached 25%, the user would fall unconscious and be stuck staring at a black nothingness with a timer. While training, Steel had gone through the phenomena a few times and was quite familiar with it.
"At least it wasn't a 15 minute timer like that first time." He muttered to himself. He was interrupted by a hand clapping down on his shoulder. He turned to see a smiling Eric staring down at him.
"Boyo, ye did good and passed the training. Congratulations!"
