I walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the cold water wash away the sweat and tension from my training. After drying off, I put on loose black trousers and a plain grey shirt.
I left my room and walked down the quiet hallway. My stomach growled loudly.
As a ranker grows stronger, controlling hunger becomes much easier. You can go days without a proper meal if your core is filled with mana.
But that doesn't mean your body stops needing real nutrients, especially after a training session that completely emptied your reserves. The training takes a physical toll, and skipping meals at this point was just bad for my health.
Besides, I was craving something specific. Something incredibly spicy, but maybe with a hint of something sweet and bitter.
I let out a dry laugh at my own joke. Sweet and bitter. Just like my current life.
I had some chocolate in my void pocket, but they would not do anything to stop the emptiness in my stomach. I needed real food.
