I squinted at the laptop screen, unsure of what I was seeing.

THE ROYALROAD EXPERIENCE:

2 Pages (Hiatus)

I hadn't been gone for that long of a time, right? I'd only been focusing on... other things.

Wait, when did I start this?

And how are there so many comments?

As I scrolled through them, I smiled, my mandibles spreading.

Sleep deprivation is the best stat? I didn't know that this had happened to other people before!

Chuckling, I turned to the weird floating blue board (which is covered in cobwebs somehow) and clicked on Sleep Deprivation.

Nothing happened.

Frowning, I checked the number of skill points that I had leftover. Which is to say, none at all.

I banged my head on the laptop. "Urgh."

A notice popped up on my screen, and I looked it over.

"You are writing too quickly! Your quality drops! Your books are now mildly toxic."

Maybe I should invest in Quality a bit.

Nah, that's dumb. If I can upload fast enough, people will read it. They might not like it, but I'll get to see that lovely little Total View counter go up. And that's plenty worth it for me!

Totally no foreshadowing or anything.
