Ryutaro didn’t know why, but trying to study was like trying to walk through a Lego-filled floor. It was unpleasant, painful, and not something he wanted to be doing, despite normally having no trouble with it. Finally, after an hour of absolutely no progress, he closed his books, sighed in frustration, and slumped onto the desk. A window popped up as he glanced sideways, surprising him enough that he bolted up, though his head disagreed with the sudden movement and rang in pain.

[b]“Ah!”[/b] he groaned quietly as he palmed his forehead, waiting for the ringing to subside. When it finally did so, he looked up again at the notification, and after a quick cursory glance, groaned. [b]“Oh what the hell…”[/b] he muttered, exasperated at this new development. Now he couldn’t even do things that weren’t an issue without a chance of failure? This <Gamer> thing was quickly losing its shine. Nevertheless, if he had been afflicted with a headache, than the logical thing to do would be grab some aspirin or ibuprofen.

It wasn’t hard to find some appropriate medicine in the cabinet downstairs, and though he felt an urge to plunder it a bit for his [Inventory], he thought it would be inappropriate. With a sigh, he climbed back up the stairs after taking the pill. He had enough sense to check the laptop, catching the message, and sending out a quick reply before he slumped onto the bed. It wasn’t too late, he could take a quick nap and hope the medicine did its work.
