I know I'm lazy and this must be a dream for most...but c'mon no food no water?! 
Ahhh...it makes no difference if I think now or later right?
Back to bed I go!
_____
I unusually woke up early and I unusually got out of bed without thinking twice.
Without any thought I put my hand on the doorknob and twisted it -huh-
Another twist -why isn't it opening?-
I tried a little harder and then started panicking: no one was home, my parents had left for vacation two days ago, how could it be locked?
I started trying to force it but I was never that strong to be able to do anything, and I certainly didn't want the knob to come off.

I went to the other side of my bed, next to my computer, on my desk was my phone.
It was fully charged, but then the next problem came up.
Before I could even notice there being no signal, I saw outside my window and uttered the most cliché words -w..what?...this has to be a dream!-
It was pitch black, not the "it's late night with no light source dark", it was empty space kind of dark, there was "nothing".
Before I could even panic, I knew, that this would be my survival story.

Survival Guide of the Lazy

It had been getting harder for me to sleep, I would have a hard time falling asleep and I'd wake up multiple times a night.

So without looking at the time I decided it was the middle of the day, after all there was no sunlight to tell the difference.

A lazy person like me wouldn't go out of her way once comfort was found, I had enough food for a while now since I got to enter the kitchen.

But it was a curious situation how none of the other windows nor the door to the balcony from the kitchen would open and all also showed "nothing" outside, yet the only time I would get almost threatning warnings from the system were when i tried to forcefully open the window in my room.

There was something special about it.

As I was about to make another attempt at my effortless escape for the sake of it,

-Oh noooo~ I want to go ouuutt~ I definitely don't want to stay in and eat chips and snacks forever and have no responsibilitiiieeess~ -

a quest window popped up in front of me.

-request?...THIS IS A THREAT YOU SH$T-

Reward upon completion: Key to the outside world

Failure will result in death>

-Maybe dying won't be so bad! Kill me! Kill me I don't care!!-

I whined like a kid while throwing my arms and legs around falling to my bed.

-Why does it even matter if I know how to swim! And where am I supposed to learn?!

Should I start crying and fill this room ?!!

I inhaled as much air as I could and then let out a sigh.

-I hate how the sand feels on my feet!

You s√st€m! At least give me a floatie!-

Don't blame me, I had learnt how to swim as a kid but I hadn't done it again since.

I might die if I don't complete the request, but I might as well attempting to too!

The water was cold and as salty as you'd expect (I tasted it many times risking to drown) and everytime I'd be teleported on the sand by the system.

I hated how it felt on my feet. It felt dirty.

The sun was burning hot yet Im not sure if it was the water or because the sun, the heat, the light, everything was fake, I knew I wouldn't get sunburnt.

-Why does the window open up so randomly? This is so confusing-

Yep, I figured I was supposed to get out to be able to learn.

-Tomorrow.. I'll definitely figure out something about whatever's going in, actually I should be able to go out thanks to the key right?

Anyhow, i didn't know how much I could do on my own, but after a while, I learnt to at least float.

That day i thought to myself that maybe the sea wasn't so bad after all.

I grinned ear to ear when the completion notice popped up.

-It's almost like you want me to keep trying and do better...as if! You locked me up, if that were the case, what are you? A yandere system?

I'm nicknaming you crazy-sistaaaa(m)-

-...Cringe (⁠;⁠;⁠;⁠・⁠_⁠・⁠) -

DAY 9 - Should I make a lake out of my tears?
