Riyku would slowly open his eyes to the soft see-through fabric draped above him thanks to the bed he was laying in. ”Oh right... I stayed at Cira's place.” Riyku would mutter to himself before swinging his legs over the bedside and sitting up. The soles of his bare feet touching the soft carpet as a yawn escaped his lips.

'You are well-rested. +200 Shield Points.'

'The elements have graced you during your sleep. +400 Mana Points for 4 hours.'

The text appeared before him on his UI. ”It has been some time since I have got a full eight hours of sleep huh?” Riyku murmured as he scratched the back of his head. He would brush bangs of his hair behind his shoulders before finally getting up. Flicking his wrist caused a cybernetic screen to appear before him. Without delay, he navigated towards his inventory tab and opened it up which revealed the tiny replica of himself along with several slots surrounding that replica. Besides that screen had been the storage section. The section was filled with various items, armors, and weapons. His finger hovered over a second tab near the lower section of the screen called Preset Outfits. Pushing upon that cycle the storage screen to another screen with two sections divided down the middle. Section one was labeled Casual and section two was labeled Armors. Each section had several slots just like the Inventory Storage did. Both sections of the slots held numbers though, starting with one and ending with fifty. However, only a few slots were filled in, while the others remained empty. Pushing his index finger upon slot number five of Casual would cause an entire outfit to appear upon his person. Interestingly enough the outfit was business style. Black slacks, black dress shoes and a black overcoat with a white undershirt and a black tie to match everything together. Swiping the screen aside to dismiss it the male would yawn once more. His eyes would shift towards the jiggling of the doorknob which opened a second later.

”Pardon the intrusion. Oh! You are already up. Good morning, Master Riyku. I also see you are already dressed for the event.” Henry would greet him. ”Good morning Henry. The time for the meeting is at nine. That has not changed, correct?” Riyku inquired and Henry would nod. ”You are correct sir. You have some time life, would you like a quick meal or perhaps a cup of coffee or tea?” Henry asked and Riyku shook his head. ”No thank you, Henry. I am sure there will be refreshments at the meeting. Though I appreciate the offer.” Riyku stated and Henry nodded. ”Well alright. If you do not need anything I will be heading off. Have a good day, Master Riyku.” Henry would bow once more before turning to leave. ”As do you, Henry,” Riyku replied as he watched the door shut. He would shift his eyes over to a nearby clock on the wall. ”Forty till Nine eh? Well, I can kill some time.” Riyku muttered as he moved to a study desk and pull the chair out. Taking a seat he would flick his wrist to bring up his status screen, only this time around he left it on the status screen for a moment.

”I still have thirty-two bonus skill points to spend; however, I do not know what I should put them into. My lowest stats are Wisdom and Intelligence, and I do use my Mana fairly often so perhaps I could split ten each to even things out. That would leave me with twelve of course, but I am only limited to these points and god knows when I'll leave up again since I am not told how much experience points I have.” Riyku would sigh heavily. ”So far, I have yet to come up against anything or anyone in this world who can't take me on. But in the other world that is an entirely different story. The first-floor demon wasn't anything special, but he did catch me off guard a few times. As for the second-floor demon... If Seraphina had not been with me I dread to know what would have happened. It's clear as day to me that the only reason I am even here today is because of whatever awoken within me thanks to Seraphina. I can't afford to lose any battles.... not now and not ever.” Riyku muttered to himself, crossing his hands over his chest.

”If anything... my Shield Points seem to have been lacking lately. They are being drained far too quickly during my battles. Even in the other world... Sure my bones may not break, but I can still die. I've already experienced that near-death time once with that whole ordeal Who is to say something like that may not happen again. For this, I could invest in my toughness and strength. But... even the most durable beings fall. I would need the perfect balance of speed and perception as well... Sure I have my perception skill and abilities, but there have been times that I was unable to notice things going around me. If I had noticed what had been going on with Iris, or even before that with that triple attack....” Riyku would grasp his clothing tightly in frustration before releasing a heavy breath and relaxing his muscles. ”No. What is done is done. I need to move forward, to protect what I have now.” Riyku stated to himself.

”Still, I am at a loss.” Riyku sighed softly before saying screw it and invested ten points each into Wisdom and Intelligence by pressing the plus button near the stats. His new status was now as such.
