I sprawled across my apartment floor, breathing hard after my morning workout. Hikaru had left me in the dust during our run, but I'd kept pushing until my legs burned. Saturday morning and I was already soaked in sweat. What a life.
My thumb hovered over the system interface. Three days after the gate, and I still felt the aftershocks in my muscles. That Silver-rank boss had been a wake-up call. Even with the Overclock, I'd barely survived. One Reaper, and I'd needed to burn essence I couldn't afford to lose.
What happens when we face two? Or something worse?
The others had skills and natural talent. I had milk-drinking and a ticking clock.
"Time for a shake-up," I muttered, pulling up my status screen.
