"Everyone done? Aw, dang," Sasha whined to herself. With Ren's warning, the group had decided that training outside wasn't safe anymore. Sasha personally didn't think it was a problem, but it was wise to err on the side of caution. This business was dangerous.
She half-jogged back to her house, enjoying her newfound speed and stamina. In her attire she looked like someone out for an evening run, turning a few heads only because of her blonde hair and appearance. She got home slightly winded.
After dinner, she got back to her usual session of
Dungeon Busters. Her improvements in manual dexterity and mental acuity was very apparent now- while she was originally quite good at the online game, Sasha's abilities were now on a whole new level. She simply had much greater reaction times, and could read into attacks much faster than she used to. It was almost... too easy. The gamer ability was a frightening power.
She slumped back during a break. What was she going to do with the gamer ability? It was clear that she was no longer a normal human. Sasha didn't know the maximum levels attainable with the gamer ability, but it was probably high enough that she could become a world-class athlete, or a genius. If she survived the leveling process and the supposed dangers of the "Abyss", success was but a small step away.
"So the question is- what do I want to do?" Sasha thought aloud. She wasn't like other people, who strove towards some sort of goal. College, or work, she had none. Sasha had been wasting the past year of her life on nothing but video games. She hadn't thought about her future in quite some time. It's not like the gamer system came with a save-the-world quest.
And in the modern world, success didn't come with how good you are at fighting. If she kept raising her intelligence and wisdom, wouldn't she become good enough to know what to do? The gamer's illogical system allowed them to get smarter by killing monsters, so why not use it?
I could probably easily get a degree or a job if I was a genius. Or at least know what to do to get by. I'm still pretty young anyway, there's still time.Eventually, Sasha went to bed and woke up shortly before noon. It was later than she had hoped to awake, so after a quick shower and meal she was out of the apartment. Outside, she quickly tapped out a
message to Silas.
hey im goin 2 the dojo now. u comin?
Like Silas, she had to search for the dojo online, but it proved to be an easy find. Sasha left without waiting for Silas's reply.
