Back in the real world, Lince woke up once again.
He had woken up like this before, but this time, Lince felt like the entire world was different.
First of all, too much had happened in the game this time. It was also his most exaggerated, single-session promotion ever.
So, now that he was back in reality, Lince once again felt the stark sense of disconnection between the real world and the game.
Two worlds.
On the reality side of things, Lince felt as if it had become unimportant.
'But is it really unimportant?'
After all, the source of the True Game was reality itself.
Ultimately, however, the True Game itself was the cause of this schism.
After all, one day in reality was equivalent to several hundred days in the game's Inference Day.
By comparison, in just over ten real-world days, Lince had spent five or six years in the game.
So, a sense of disconnection was inevitable.
