Evening had fully settled in.
The television continued playing in the background.
Reiji remained sprawled on the couch, one arm casually over the head of the couch.
Beside him, Vel slept peacefully.
The sight was strangely relaxing.
A few days ago, this creature had been a very annoying Velsra, but now he was snoring on the couch like a lazy house cat.
Life really was weird.
Reiji stared at the ceiling. The house felt quiet. Too quiet.
No dungeon alarms. No yandere girlfriend. No system forcing him to do something ridiculous.
Just silence.
Reiji suddenly narrowed his eyes. Something wasn't right.
He looked down at himself. He was still wearing the weights. Since the system had already given him the rewards, the 8-hour time limit must have already elapsed, right?
Reiji thought as he removed the weights and put them in his inventory. Seeing the damn system not responding or saying anything, he figured it was fine.
Reiji glanced at Vel who was still fast asleep.
