Just as I was wondering if there was a way to replay the tutorial, I felt an earthquake.
Everything was shaking, or rather, I felt like I was being moved really quickly, making me dizzy.
Suddenly, the movement stopped, and before I could reorient myself and figure out what was going on, I began feeling an incredible pressure. It didn't hurt, but it was slightly uncomfortable. It's almost as if I was being squeezed.
It reminded of the time I was pulled through a small hole to the white place of that weird being.
Suddenly, a part of me detached from myself. It didn't hurt, and I could somehow feel myself being in two places. The second place I was in felt... tickly.
What was going on?
My separated part felt movement once again and then a strong pressure against something hard, accompanied by another earthquake! It was an extremely strange feeling... that soon turned into pleasure.
It... It felt so good! If I had a mouth, I would have moaned right then and there.

I began disintegrating into foamy nothingness, and it felt right. Was I a masochist?! A lot of energy was entering my body as part of it was destroyed.
Just as sudden as it started, the whole experience stopped. A cold liquid washed me away and I couldn't feel that part of myself anymore.
I was panting hard inside of my head. That was extremely intense.
After a while, I finally managed to focus enough to notice that I had missed several notifications.

I leveled up? Like in a game? I hope my life isn't going to get harder now. What did it mean for me to level up?

If only I had waited for the tutorial... With a sigh, I checked my status for any changes.

I noticed that some of my HP was missing. What... what happens if that runs out? Will I die again? I gulped - I needed to find a way to avoid that at any cost.
I also saw that I had several unspent stat points. Hopefully I would be able to distribute them as I please. Perhaps increasing my VIT will also increase my HP?
But how do I spend my stat points, in the first place?
I try to concentrate on a statistic type, but nothing happens. Focusing on the unspent stat points doesn't do anything.
I hate this stupid toothpaste system, it's soo poorly designed.
I try to imagine dragging the number of unspent stat points onto my stat of choice. Still nothing.
I'm starting to get frustrated here. I just wish this stupid number would increase!
I hear a DING and...
