Leave or Die

His mind raced. 

Had he really spent two whole weeks inside the Nightmare?

No… Impossible.

It hadn't felt that long. It couldn't have been that long.

Unless...

Unless time worked differently.

Just like how time in the tutorial moved faster than in the real world…

Time inside the Nightmare must have moved even slower than the tutorial itself.

Alex exhaled sharply, his fingers tightening into a fist.

Two weeks…

He muttered the words again, as if saying them aloud would change the reality.

Shit.

The lost time frustrated him, but he quickly pushed the feeling aside.

No use crying over it.

Alex nodded to himself, his mind lost in deep thought.

The rewards he had gained in the tutorial—they were worth it.

Every second of struggle. Every battle. Every hardship.

Nothing had been in vain.
