Chapter 139: Time Skip (1/2)
”Uhh… My head!!” Alex stood up, rubbing his forehead as he came back to consciousness. ”Wha— Where?” he looked around.
”Game?” he looked around a little more. After rubbing his head for a few moments more, he finally started to think. 'The essence..' He finally remembered what had happened.
He released his spiritual sense to see if anything was different about him. He found nothing. Even his forehead where the drop of blood had pierced through was already healed.
”Is there really nothing wrong with me then?” He had expected to at least be hurt a lot, but after the first minute of intense headache, nothing happened.
”What's the time?” he looked to his top right corner to view the current time. ”9:23? I'm late,” he thought as he stood up and walked to the front door.
He was supposed to meet his master at 9 pm, yet over 20 minutes had already gone by. His master must've been waiting for a long time.
He immediately opened the door and…
”What?” he was surprised when he saw the outside. It was bright. As bright as the brightest day he could remember. He slowly turned his eyes towards the upper right corner of his vision once more and saw what he had missed at first.
AM. It was 9:23 AM.
”I slept through the entire night?” Not only had he missed his training with his master, but he had also missed the entire night. The only thing he did last night was sleep. Not even normal cultivation.
He walked back inside and got to thinking as to just exactly what had happened. The blood essence had hit him, and he had fainted. He saw nothing else happen.
He slowly poured his Qi into his tattoo and called out Pearl. ”Pearl came out with a mighty 'Meow'. Thankfully, he hadn't grown since yesterday and was the same size.
He looked him over and felt his aura. ”You look fine. Do you feel fine buddy?” he asked as he petted him.
”Meow,” Pearl meowed in confirmation. ”Alright, go back now. I have to go to my classes. I will see you later on, okay?” Alex said.
”Meow?” Pearl didn't understand what he meant but went back into his left arm without hesitation. ”Alright, let's log out,” he said as he logged out from the game.
He went to his classes as normal and studied them properly. Even though he was making a ton of money thanks to the game, he couldn't tell when it would all come crumbling down, so he needed to have some knowledge to get jobs later on.
After he was done with classes, however, he rushed back to the game. He logged into the game at 3 and a half o'clock and walked out of the home.
