Ryoshu is still trying to wrap his head around what just happened. Somehow, he's ended up in the world of Rainfall Disorder, the game he's been playing for over five years.After waking up in this strange place, Ryoshu's first instinct is to figure out when his memories stopped."Okay, so if I remember correctly, I deleted the game yesterday before going to bed. And when I woke up, boom, here I am. Did I get transported while I was asleep?"He scratches his chin, deep in thought. Eventually, he comes up with a wild idea."Could it be that I've reincarnated into this world?"Realizing how absurd it sounds, he gives himself a little slap. Rubbing his cheek, he continues pondering."Let's say that hypothesis is true! It still doesn't quite add up."Being inside his house makes the whole thing seem even more implausible."Maybe a bunch of trucks crashed into the house... Or perhaps I had a stroke?"Considering his lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits, the stroke theory seems somew

The space around Ryoshu suddenly fell deadly silent. He guessed it was because no light was reaching his tightly shut eyes."So, instant teleportation now?" he thought. Though eager to open his eyes, the sensation was like riding a roller coaster blindfolded, making him hesitate. He could only feel a dizzying sensation.He had expected the teleportation process to be as quick as in the game, but maybe the developers had made many changes in this upgraded version. As soon as he finished teleporting, he heard the bustling noise of the crowd, including footsteps, haggling, and bickering.Black Market attendants would teleport customers into random spots amidst the crowd and give them a bit of invisibility magic upon arrival to avoid being tracked.When he opened his eyes, an underground marketplace sprawled before him. It wasn't littered like a typical slum, but the haphazard decoration of small stalls gave it a chaotic and unplanned look, quite unlike any slum. Customers passed each oth

"I must be losing it..." Ryoshu muttered as he glanced at his wristwatch. Status Update:- Name: Amemura Ryoshu- Race: Human- Level: Unranked- Stats + Mana: Non-existent + Primary Stats: - Strength: 12.25 (F-) - Endurance: 11 (F-) - Agility: 11.5 (F-) - Intuition: 15.3 (F) + Secondary Stats: - Charisma: 10 (Unranked) - Recovery: 10.15 (F-) - Intelligence: 18.8 (F+)From now on, Ryoshu reckoned, he wouldn't even need the darned wristwatch. It was invisible to others anyway, so he could use it whenever he pleased."But... I still need it to check the time and for school notifications and social media," Ryoshu pondered. After a moment's reflection, he decided to hold onto it. Those features might come in handy at Spiral Academy."Yeah, I'll hold onto this watch a bit longer. I'll upgrade to a better one," he resolved.Looking back at his stats, Ryoshu couldn't help but sigh. "Unranked... Figures."Aside from his average Intuition and Intelligence, hi

Initially, Ryoshu felt the same as usual. But before long, the pain surged, intensifying almost tenfold with his heightened senses.Clenching his teeth, he used his blood to etch strange symbols onto the statue's surface."QWYUOPLKJHGFDZXCVM."Quickly, he tore the four-leaf clover into shreds, placing three pieces atop the statue."A new temporary effect activated!All your current attribute points will merge into one specific attribute of your choice for a minute.You've opted for Adaptation as your secondary attribute.Warning: All other attributes will temporarily drop to 1 for survival."Suddenly, Ryoshu felt a strange weakening in his body. The already dark cave seemed more ominous, adding to his unease as his legs nearly buckled, forcing him to his knees.At that moment, Ryoshu struggled to even hold onto anything. The sense of helplessness now felt worse than his breakup with his girlfriend. The memory of her with her new partner on that fateful night made him shudder.We are a

In the elevator, Ryoshu was stuffing his belongings into his space ring. There wasn't much: clothes, personal items, the notebook he'd been writing in, and the rusty sword from the living room."Good thing there's still space... But who's that girl? She seems familiar, but I can't place her. A new character I've seen before? Or just a random NPC?"Ryoshu wondered for a moment before shifting his focus."Forget it. The important thing is I don't have a place to stay now... Where should I go this week? There's still a week until the class division test, and I've already lost my place... But at least I don't have to pay the rent."The more he thought about it, the more unreasonable it seemed that his character could afford an apartment while he couldn't."But I still need somewhere to stay tonight, or I'll be homeless. With just this ring, I can't make it."Then, a crazy idea struck him. Ryoshu checked for cameras in the elevator, feeling safe, and hastily scribbled some lines on his kne
