"Thank God it was real," I sighed in relief.
As I woke up, a nagging feeling crept in that perhaps everything that occurred yesterday was just a dream. So, I hurriedly summoned the system interface to reassure myself.
Seeing that everything was indeed fine, I mustered the strength to heave my heavy body out of bed. Sure, I had shed a bit of weight, but I was still on the heavy side. Imagine someone who used to weigh 90 kilos losing 10 kilos. People wouldn't even notice it if I wore an oversized T-shirt. Well, in my case, oversized T-shirts were simply called "small."
Wait, why did my Intelligence increase? I'm certain I didn't intentionally work on it yesterday. It went from 1.6—>2.6.
I pondered for a moment, trying to think a plausible explanation. Then an idea came into my mind.
Perhaps my Intelligence was being held back by the weight of my psychological burdens. Now that I'm making progress , it's possible that my cognitive abilities are starting to show improvement as well. It's as if my mind is gradually emerging from the shadows of past struggles.
If that's the case, it means the system also takes personal growth into account. Learning this early on is an advantage for me. Now, I need to figure out how to boost some of my stats without relying on the system, so I can save my attribute points.
It's wise to allocate these points to stats that are difficult to enhance through conventional means.
"Should I bump up my agility again?" I mumbled to myself. It appeared to be the only way I could speed up my weight loss. I had increased my agility by 2 last time, and it did lead to a bit of weight loss. So maybe this time around, the impact would be even more significant, considering my agility cap would also increase.
I mean, look at that Juck guy with only 3 agility despite being muscular. It's pretty clear that boosting my agility through regular methods will take too long.
"Let's put it all on this one!"

"AHHHHH!" The familiar burning sensation of fat melting engulfed my body once more.
This time, though, it seemed even more intense. I clenched the bedsheets with my teeth, silently praying that this hotel washed their bedsheets regularly – or else.
This kind of pain would have been unimaginable for me in the past, but my newfound determination compelled me to endure. I couldn't afford to surrender. I needed to gain more strength to become the best version of me.
As the seconds stretched into minutes, I gritted my teeth and endured the excruciating sensation. Time passed, and after what felt like an eternity, 15 minutes had gone by.
The sheets beneath me were wet, despite the air conditioner's cooling efforts. The dampness was a stark reminder of the intensity of the pain I was enduring in my pursuit of growth.

The cold shower water was like a spa day after the agony I endured. Washing up, I felt like I was scrubbing off my past self and embracing the new me. I looked at myself in the mirror, and there it was – not exactly a Greek god, but hey, definitely a more streamlined version of me. I probably lost enough weight to qualify for a "before and after" testimonial in a weight loss infomercial!
"I should have joined those networking schemes that sell those detox products. I could have been the living proof, and made a lot of money!" I quipped, letting out a chuckle. But deep down, am I really joking? I mean, with my evolving suggestion skill, I could probably sell sand in a desert. Networking scams might just be the ticket to making a fortune. For now, I'll just jot down that, uh, "interesting" idea.

My charisma had finally increased, so I couldn't help but chuckle as I observed the improvements in my stats. A 0.4 boost might seem minor, but considering it came for free, who wouldn't be thrilled?
"But what should I do now?"
I've got a handful of days left, and the clock's ticking. I can't just squander my time, right? Unless becoming a professional procrastinator is a new career goal.
"Maybe I should play detective and check on my bitch aunt?" I smirked to myself. After all, she's the one grudgingly fueling my XP meter right now. Can't forget to milk that source, right?
With that master plan in mind, I set up my trusty PC and connected it to the hotel's internet. Let's hope it's faster than a turtle for now.

Me: Hello , darling :*
After waiting for a few minutes without a reply, I sighed in mild frustration.
"I guess I'll give breakfast a shot first," I mused. It was only 7:00 am, so chances were my aunt was still in dreamland.
With that thought, I headed to the telephone and placed an order for some much-needed sustenance.
"Can I have 2 sets of fried chicken, 3 servings of rice, and a side of ramen noodles?" I requested before hanging up and returning to my desk.
Knowing it would take a bit for my food to be prepared, I decided to pass the time by checking my Discord messages.
As usual, my virtual buddies were deep into a debate about the underwhelming G5 transformation. I shared in the collective disappointment over that repetitive animation, though thankfully, the animators managed to redeem themselves with the following episode.
Seeing my virtual buddies locked in debate, a mischievous impulse tickled me – the kind that whispers, "Why not flaunt your own system?"
But let's be real here, if I dropped that bomb, they'd probably roast me, claiming my make believed system is the equivalent of a soggy potato compared to the legendary Vampire System.
Sure, I'd love to shout from the virtual rooftops that my system is the real deal, but come on, who'd buy it? It's like trying to convince them I've got a hot a girlfriend :(

Allysa: What now? X(
