When the game paused, Roland climbed out of the game cabin.

Roland was now energetic every day, partly because he slept early and partly because he exercised every day.

The miaodao technique was definitely not simple. Waving it hundreds of times every day could be an arduous task, not to mention the regular training on movement.

The third reason was that Roland's mental power had soared compared to a year ago.

His body in the game, undoubtedly, had unbelievable mental power, but his body in reality had higher mental power than average people did, too.

So, he did not feel drowsy at all when he woke up. He was in the clearest state of mind the moment he opened his eyes.

Sitting at the edge of the bed, he looked at the black glass cup on the table and snapped his fingers. A blue hand appeared out of nowhere, seized the cup, and slowly delivered it to Roland's right hand.

When Roland grabbed the cup, the blue hand vanished in the morning sunlight as glimmering blue dust.

It was Hand of Magic… or the ultimately weakened version of it.

Such a spell carried no damage. It was even slow for delivery purposes. However… this was reality.

What did it mean if one could cast spells in reality?

That was exactly the reason why Roland was worried in the game last night.

It was indeed worth celebrating that he could cast spells, but he hadn't learned a lot yet. What if the game authorities shut off the server because of the pressure?

He had taken this ability from the game. What if he couldn't learn more knowledge and tricks of the magic from there?

”I hope that the company can endure a few more years.” Roland sighed.

Ever since he spotted the weird ball of energy in the ancestral hall, Roland had been searching for similar energies in the past year, only to no avail.

But he had been practicing the arts of Nourishment of Life without any interruption.

Perhaps because of his familiarity with mental power in the game, he was able to apply the mental power that he cultivated through Nourishment of Life in reality.

More importantly, he could absorb the magic power in the air with mental power.

Though magic power was pitifully rare in reality, it was not nonexistent.

Roland had accumulated magic elements from the air for half a year before he finally stored enough to cast Hand of Magic.

And it was the ultimately weakened version.

There wasn't much magic power in reality, which was probably why there were few people with superpowers in reality.

Roland didn't go to the saber arts club this day. Instead, he searched for news on the game company.

Though some news had been blocked, Roland was able to infer a lot of things from what he had access to.

After reading the news, Roland leaned against the back of his chair, wondering what he could do.

Eventually, he realized, to his disappointment, that there was nothing he could do.

In reality, he was just an ordinary person without power or influence on anything.

So, the only thing that he could do was acquire as much knowledge and magic tricks from the game as possible.

As long as he learned enough, he would still be able to apply his magic knowledge to reality even if the game was shut down someday.

However… Roland also realized that his pessimism might be ungrounded. Whoever produced this game couldn't be scared of any regular old pressure.

But it couldn't be wrong to be prepared for the worst.
