《Real Life Can Be Interesting Too》A Real Life Random Encounter : Part 2
Advertisement
Feeling that rumbling and sinking feeling in my stomach, panicking a little bit, and then reminding yourself to stay calm and make a rational decision. This is the process that leads to growth. And, that growth can be seen immediately when the bad feeling in your stomach subsides and you realize that you made it through.
Doing something that I was uncomfortable with helped me learn and improve, and this is what needs to be done to develop the intimidation resistance that is so badly needed.
I've ended up with the unfulfilling life that I have today because my entire life I've neglected to think properly and make decisions after careful thought.
*Level Up : Know Thyself -> lv.3*
*Level Up : Conviction -> lv.3*
A voice suddenly interrupts my thoughts, "Hun are you all set?"
"O...Oh sorry about that." I reply.
I was so absorbed in thought that I've spent an hour here without realizing it. After quickly paying the bill, I leave and head over to the next place that hopefully will let me level up my intimidation resistance skill.
As I walk to my destination, the figure of the higher-up at work that bullies me comes into view. I can see her through the storefront glass drinking a glass of whiskey on the rocks. She isn't wearing the usual business casual attire, and in place of it, a t-shirt and jeans. Several empty glasses surround her as she takes sips while looking towards the ground.
Why is she drinking so much by herself?
She turns her head to the left to look out the window and I find myself looking her in the eye. Apparently, I've stood here a bit too long while thinking.
Usually if you encounter a boss so early in a game, you should run away. I've made the bad decision of casting appraisal instead of running, and now im face to face with the first boss while hopelessly underleveled and with only a thin pane of glass separating us.

Collective Thinking
Dyna Graves grew up thinking she was special. An exception to the average. Not necessarily above her peers, but simply outside their context. However, toward the end of her high school life, she started to realize that nobody was really special. At least not in any fantastical way. Just as she started trying to figure out what she wanted to do with the rest of her life, she got an invitation. A psychic institute scoped her out, realized her psychic potential, and asked if she would undergo psionic training at the Carroll Institute. Almost immediately, Dyna realized that she wasn’t quite up to the same level as many of her peers. Surrounded by clairvoyants and mind readers displaying obvious abilities made her own lack of ability all the more apparent. That was, up until the researchers and scientists of the facility realized that there was a bit more to Dyna Graves than met the eye. After an explosive incident during what should have been a routine experiment, Dyna quickly found herself wrapped up in a world of cutthroat espionage.
