Kim read the message on her phone, then looked around the room frantically. How had this person - X - known that she'd just rolled the die? Just in case, she closed the curtains and covered up her laptop's webcam with a sticky note, then checked her phone again. There was a new app, with only two menus that weren't greyed out. Under "Status" was a listing of statistics, most of which were 20s, except for six: Agility: 30 Determination: 25 Intelligence: 22 Happiness: 18 Charisma: 15 Appearance: 10 There was also a notice of the number of dice points she had - it was 3, the same number that she'd rolled. Under "Quests" were a few tasks with dice values: Sign up for the gymnastics competition next week! Reward: 1 die. Place in the gymnastics competition! Reward: ??? number of dice, dependent on performance. Talk with your dad about future aspirations! Reward: 2 dice. Get some motivation in life! Reward: More quests! Her blood ran cold. Whoever had set this up didn't just know when she rolled a die. They knew the exact number it had landed on. They knew her former dreams and failed aspirations. They even knew about her relationship with her father. Kim wanted to hurl her phone across the room, but she knew that wouldn't make anything better. Instead, she looked back at the Status screen, where the numbers had little arrows by them. If this worked like an RPG, then Kim could raise her starts by up to three points. She should choose one that was easy to check, so that she would know if it had really worked. Her finger hovered over the Appearance arrow for a moment, before she changed her mind. No, if this was real, then she shouldn't waste her points on something like that. Instead, she scrolled down until she found a stat labeled "Vision". It only took a few moments to print out an eye chart and tape it to her dorm wall. Then she removed her glasses and noted that she could only read the first three lines before the letters got too blurry. Kim then went to the stat screen and tapped the arrow - predictably, her dice points went down by one, and Vision went up by one. She tried reading the eye chart again.
