Wait a second... I might be jumping to conclusions since it’s still too early to tell for sure. However, if what I’m thinking is right, doesn’t that mean I’m trapped inside an alien spaceship? Fuck! That would explain why there are so many dead human bodies scattered around this place. They must’ve died during the aliens’ twisted experiments. It makes sense now... this must be where they discard all the bodies once they’re done with them.
With this thought lingering in my mind, I grew increasingly fearful of leaving this stinky place. Yet, deep down, I knew I couldn’t stay here forever. At some point, I had to summon the courage to break free. There’s no way I’d spend my entire life hiding here like a coward, trapped in a cycle of fear and uncertainty. I longed for the freedom to explore and to experience life beyond these confines, even if it meant facing the unknown.
Alright, let’s take a moment to calm down and breathe. Let’s say if I end up encountering the aliens again, then I need to be extremely cautious and be prepared. No matter the situation, there’s no harm in being extra careful, even if my opponent isn’t the aliens.
For the time being, let’s explore this place. I need to familiarize myself with my surroundings before I do anything else or plan my next move. With that in mind, I began walking through this dark area while using the hologram screen as a light to illuminate my path.
Approximately thirty minutes to an hour later, I finally finished exploring this entire place. I was right; this is indeed a dumpster room. Dead human bodies weren’t the only things I found here. There was also other junk scattered around and some bizarre, rotting food that I couldn’t identify. Maybe those strange foods are extraterrestrial cuisine? I have no idea, but who knows?
Anyway, to make myself comfortable, I stumbled upon a massive metal box and I decided to use it as my temporary base for now. It seemed to be the only place where I could move around freely without the constant annoyance of stepping on something disturbing. The other areas were cluttered with heaps of garbage and human remains, creating an unsettling atmosphere that made navigation difficult.
Inside this metal box, I felt a strange sense of safety, as if it were a fortress amid the filthiness outside. I could stretch my limbs without fear of encountering or touching something grotesque or hazardous. Taking a deep breath, I embraced the solitude, grateful for this brief escape from the disgusting smells that surrounded me. Surprisingly, it didn’t smell so bad inside the box compared to outside, and that small comfort made all the difference.
If I were to estimate the size of this dumpster room, I would say it’s about twice the size of a soccer field. In contrast, this giant empty metal box I’m currently in felt like a cozy mini house—plenty of space for me to move around freely without the worry of bumping into anything.

Inside, this metal box stands approximately 12 feet tall, with a width and length of 12 feet each. These dimensions provide me with ample room to stretch my limbs and move more comfortably, a welcome change from the cramped conditions outside.
Ah, this feels so much better! I can finally move freely now. Phew! I’m fortunate to have discovered this empty metal box.
My plan was to stay here for a few days, as I still need some time to familiarize myself with my surroundings before I can confidently plan my next step. At least now, with this much space inside this metal box, I can rest or sleep comfortably without garbage and human remains getting in my way.
Oh, right! I just remembered I haven’t completed my daily quest yet. Without wasting any time, I began right away.
Ten push-ups! Ten sit-ups! Ten squats! Ten high jumps! Ten meters run!

The next day…
By now, I was starting to feel more comfortable with my surroundings. With that, I’m ready to leave this filthy place and venture outside. From what I had discovered so far, this dumpster room had two massive doors: one on the south side and another on the north.
I’ve tried opening both doors multiple times, but each one is locked tight. My only option now is to brute force my way out, but that would create a lot of noise and attract unwanted attention.
Up until now, I still can’t tell if I’m inside an alien spaceship or not. The design of this dumpster room is undeniably foreign, yet it remains difficult to confirm. My gut tells me I must be aboard a colossal alien spaceship. Regardless, none of that matters right now; today, I’m getting out of here, and soon enough, I’ll find out.
Ding!

Right, has it really been 24 hours already? Interesting. I guess the daily quest will act as a helpful reminder that a day has passed, especially since it's challenging to keep track of time in this dark place. It looks like the daily quest will act as my temporary clock from now on. Not bad; I never thought of using the daily quest as a way to monitor the passage of time.
Alright, first let’s complete my daily quest quickly, and then I can finally get out of here. Without a moment of hesitation, I began my daily quest exercises right away.

Perfect! Alright, let’s not waste any more time and get out of this filthy place. Without further delay, I punched the north door with all my strength, blasting it open completely.
BOOOMMM!!!
Holy shit! Whoa! To think I would pack this much power with only 28 points in my strength stat… Damn, just imagine how much more powerful I’d be at 100 points! Jeez, I’d practically be superhuman by then!
