Tonight's turning out to be a sleepless one for Ren.
Although he repeatedly told himself to not be anxious and tried various ways to distract himself, in the end, he still ended up tense, nervous, and anxious while he waited for the results.
That 2 hours and 34 minutes' wait felt like a lifetime for him. He tried to keep himself occupied by playing games, anything he could get his hands on just to pass time. But even then, he still felt like the world was deliberately slowing down in his wait.
He couldn't help but start overthinking: What if the World System wasn't impressed? What if it didn't think too highly of his creation? What if it deems the technique a waste of its time and it decides to punish him?
Did he overestimate himself? Was his idea and optimism really laughable in the end? Was he really deluded by his gift and talent? Did he become the person he swore not to become? Did he do a bad thing?
