===================================================================================================================
The sky is dark and full of stars, the streets lights are lit. And in a quiet park, there is a person sitting on a bench reading a dictionary-like book quietly. That person is Xan.
(He started at 9 a.m. in rl, in game it is 9 in the morning. The game time to rl time is 4:1. So now it is 9 at night in the game.)
Suddenly I heard sounds in my mind. Ring! Ring! ...... Ring! …. It is the alarm that I set so I would not miss the meeting with my friend.
‘Look at the time now. It is a quarter to 12 in the real world. Guess I will go earlier to wait for him.’
So I got up from the bench that I sat while closing the dictionary like book and put it into the inventory, I suddenly think of one important matter.
‘Actually, now that I think of it, how are we going to meet? He did not say what is his character name gonna be, I also do not know if he will change his appearance or not. I also did not say what my character name would be. Maybe he will recognise me since I did not make any big changes. Now the last problem, let’s just hope he will remember the meeting.’
After walking for a few minutes, I heard a familiar sound.
Ding!
Your satiety has fallen below 10%.
All stat will be reduce by 50%.
Please eat something.
‘Ah……….. Do I have to eat the tasteless bread again? I have no money right now so I cannot buy the cooking utensils, spices and the ingredients. But tasteless bread is still food. I cannot waste food! I will finish bread first then only will I eat other things. Need to earn money to buy the cooking utensils.’
Then I pull out the 1 loft of bread and eat. Then I continue to go to my destination. When I reach the central, there is still 5 minutes left till 12 p.m. in the real world. Needless to say, I got lost on my way because I smell nice food and lost track of where I am going and ended up using 40 minutes to get to the central.
‘Well, I am still early. Wow even though it is night time already, there is still a lot of people in the central.’
Then suddenly someone call out to me.
“Hey! You are Jon, right? I can recognise you since you did not make any big changes with your appearances. It is me, Keane. By the way I am call Crix here.”
I turn around and see a guy that look a lot like Keane and is a little bit taller than me. He has silver hair and green eyes.
“Oh hey dude. What took you so long?”
“………” After a few seconds
“Did you not notice? I have arrived earlier than expected. You know you can praise me since this is a once in a lifetime chance” Keane says haughtily
“Do not exaggerate it. I am still earlier than you.”
“So what! The fact that I am earlier does not change.”
“It will, in a moment.”
“In a moment?”
“Yup, in a moment.” I say while giving a smile
“That is impossible.” He reply with a smile
‘Oh really?’ I think in my mind.
After a few have seconds pass. I pretend to surprise and say
“I suddenly remember that I pass through a shop that has a cute stuff bear.”
“!!! Where is it!!! You must tell me!!!”
“You know the blacksmith shop at the north of here? It is just next to it.”
“I am coming cute stuff bear!!!!” Running off to the direction I point.
I stare at his back while thinking
‘Mwhahahaha, this is so easy. Falling for a prank like this, either he is stupid or an idiot, preferably both. Mwaahhaha, I can envision myself eating free lunch in my future.’
He comes back running to me after 25 minutes.
“You bastard! You lied to me, here is no shop next to the blacksmith selling cute stuff bear. The only shop next to the blacksmith is a tailor shop that doesn’t even have stuff bears!”
“Did I? Well the fact remains and you are late, and made me wait. It is already 1 minute 30 scond pass 12 p.m. in the real world. And since you are late you are treating me to lunch afterwards.” I shrug it off and reply with a big smile on my faces.
“Damn it, I fell for it again.”
“I will be reaching at your house at 1o’clock in the real world. Don’t think you can run away.” Giving him a glare
“Don’t worry, I won’t run away.”
I punch his head.
“Hey, that hurts you know? And what you do that for?” He says
“No, I just figure something out.
“How the hell does it have anything to with punching my head.”
“What do you mean? I am praising you using actions.”
“……… I am not going to comment on that.”
“But you just say something.”
“Argh! Are you trying to pick a fight?”
“Anyway, I will log out now. Be sure to get ready when I come.”
“You just ignore what I just said didn’t you!”
“So I will be going now.”
“Don’t ignore me!”
“I am not, did you forget already that we will be having lunch together afterwards, how am I ignoring you?”
“Argh!!! Never mind that, let’s register as friends first. Then we will be able to communicate with each other freely.”
Then a window suddenly appears in front of me.
Ding!
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Crix has requested you as a friend.
Do you accept?
“I accept.”
Ding!
Crix has been register as your friend in your friend list.
Then I got out of my capsule and stretch my arms and legs for a while then I go to take a bath and change my clothes. While I am doing all that, I am thinking which restaurant should I chose.
Meanwhile, in the game Crix is thinking
‘Argh! I can’t believe I fell for it again. Better log out now and get ready, if I am not ready by the time. I think he will demand another free meal.’ I shudder at the thought
Back to Jon, he is now walking towards Keane house which is a 10 minutes’ walk from his house.
‘I got it, since I have not been eating fish lately. We will go to eat at the Japanese restaurant which is a 20 minutes’ walk from his house. I heard that the salmon there is always fresh.’
When I reach Keane’s house he is already ready. So we went to the Japanese restaurant to have lunch. The whole way to and fro is uneventful. We just talk about the game. When I reach home, it is already 3 p.m. Since there are a lot time until dinner I will just play the game, then I got in the capsule and log in.
When I got in, I go to the park and read the book again. This time I want to read as much as I can. So when I reach about 10 hours of reading. I head a familiar sound and a window pop out in front of me.
Ding!
You have gained a new skill.
-Reading Comprehension
“Hmm…. Another skill. Show skill reading comprehension info.”
Then another window pop out in front of me.
Skills infoReading Comprehension (Beginner Lv1 50%)
Allows you to read faster. The higher the level, the faster you read. Allows higher chance of learning skills when reading.
Read faster 5%
‘Ho, so this allows me to read faster huh? Hehehehehe, I can do this.’
Then I continue reading. After another 4 hours of reading. My reading comprehension has level up to beginner level 8 and that allows me to read 40% faster and I can remember the things I read. Even after I spend this much time reading the book and also has the skill to help me, I only finish a quarter of it. During the process of reading I also consume 2 loft of bread which left me 6 loft bread.
Then I call it a day and log off to prepare dinner and others stuff.
The next day, all I did is only reading. After 5 days in game time, I have finally finished the book. When I finish the book, a window pop out in front of me. Also my reading comprehension has reach intermediate 3 at 70%. And for some reason, I have not seen Crix the whole time I was reading.
Ding!
You have gain 15 intelligence.
You have gain 15 wisdom.
You have learnt Alchemy Mastery.
‘I gained stats and a skill after completing the book! Maybe I should pay the library a visit. That will be for later. Now I will go see Quarzan.’
When I entered the shop, I see Quarzan standing at the counter. Then he looked up and saw me, his expression brighten.
“So you finish the book I gave you?”
“Yup”
“Hohoho, I did not expect you to finish this early.”
“Ahaha, well I have nothing to do all this time. So I only read the book.”
“Now, here you go.” Handing over a bag
“For me? Thanks.”
As I take the bag, a window pops out in front of me.
Ding!

“A hundred flask! Don’t you need these?” I ask
“Don’t worry lad, I have thousands of these. These are to help you off to a start. One can gain most experience by doing it their self.”
“Oh, thank you very much.”
“By the way lad do you want to an alchemist?”
Ding!

Meanwhile, the progress that the exploration team is making has slow down due to the forest.
“Captain, the goblins have call for reinforcement.”
“Then we will retreat out of the forest and hold our position there.”
