I was left with a little less than three hours, it would be such a waste to not do something worthwhile with it...

Just as I started having dangerous thoughts of another skill combination that had possible dangers, someone who stayed silent for a good while got noisy once again.

[Well, done doing your things? Wondering what to do next? I got your back!] (Zero)

"What are you talking about Zero, is this another one of your jokes?"

Remembering how I found a dog shampoo bottle at the beginning of my last shower, I rolled my eyes as I had no high expectations….

[Nah, this time it's a task that needs to be done to all players, would you like to start your 'True Integration' now?]

" 'True Integration'? "

[To put it simply, the first integration you went through was limited as that beginner village was at the very border of the 'Light Domain' and the laws there are somewhat different than the true part of the domain you are currently headed to…]

"Hmmm, how long does this process exactly last? And how much difference I should be expecting?"

[Well, it only lasts two hours! Not too long, right? As for the difference, all I could say is that you would have to see if for yourself…]

"Really? Two hours? You wouldn't have thought of telling me sooner, and put that in my schedule of limited time, right?"

[To be honest, I planned on actually telling you when you only had two hours, but since I found you were so torn out on what to do, I decided to just tell you now. I'm such a great assistant aren't I?!]

For some reason, the neutral sound of zero seemed to turn more childish as he continued to speak…..

"Yes, you are such a great help…."

I replied with a stiff smile on my face, while holding back my irritated expression from showing.

[Indeed! I'm great! Since, I'm in such a great mood, let's start now!]

"Wait…"

Suddenly, I experienced another blackout, haven't I been experiencing this really too much lately?...

>>>>

"What about…"

I suddenly opened my mouth to complete the sentence I wanted to say before the blackout, it seemed like I returned to my exact same position as I was still seated above the bed.

[ 55m: 56s ]

The first thing I checked was the timer, which still progressed 2 hours forward even though it didn't feel like it did…

"So, what actually happened just now, Zero?"

[I'd suggest you check your status first.]
