Chapter 143: Bottleneck [2]

"Why am i just hearing about this now, and what do you mean?"

[This is something you should have already realised, or will, one way or the other, at some point. The signs are already clear and obvious. You've constantly put your body under repeated stress, that even if it may not show physically, you're already worn out. As a result, every energy you accumulate towards the next level up or breakthrough over flows from both your body and core, causing you to remain in an uncertain state with no apparent progress. In other words — a bottleneck.]

"What are you talking about?" Meta's unexpectedly, disturbing words almost made me jump in place.

'Yo, yo, yo. You're kidding, right?'

What the hell does it mean i should have noticed it?

Meta's words were all sounding like an I'll sounding joke to me. I was a bit confused and quite unsure how to respond to them.

[Negative. Unfortunately, this isn't a joke...] Meta said and her voice paused.
