Chapter 21 - Chapter 20: Updates, Outlaws, and Escape to the Wild

After that morning conversation (which I'm still cringing over), I spent the entire day face-down in bed. What was I thinking? Who was I trying to be?

I checked my phone—the "Pineapple"—and realized I'd ignored dozens of notifications. Mostly YouTube updates and messages from friends asking if they could come over tomorrow.

I had to tell Michelle. Steeling my nerves, I walked to her door. It's pathetic how much more terrifying it is to knock on a girl's door than it is to fight a Predator.

"D-yes?" her voice sounded panicked.

"Friends are coming over tomorrow. You cool with that?"

"Sure! Let them come!" she blurted out.

I retreated. At least that's handled.

Gacha Glitch & The Update

I opened the Gacha to celebrate the 100% Fusion. Eleven cards popped out—a holiday bonus from the glitched Christmas banner.

Enhancement Card.

Survival Simulator World Ticket (168 hours).

Murgul Slave (WarCraft).A Naga worker. Can he build a base?

Felicia Hardy / Venom-Cat (Marvel).

Megazord Transformation (Power Rangers).I can turn into a giant mech?

Hair Dye.

Candice Catnipp (Bleach).The 'Thunderbolt' Quincy.

Baikal Water (Rus vs. Lizards).A meme-tier potion.

Aircraft Carrier 'Novorossiysk'.A massive ship.

Metamorphism.The jackpot. I can finally fix my face.

System Update 1.1.3.

I used the Enhancement Card on Metamorphism. Now I can reshape my entire facial structure. I spent five minutes fixing my eyes back to my original look.

The System Update also added a "Date-Sim" mechanic.

I checked Michelle's bond: 2 stars, but they're blinking. Status: "Undecided / Thinking." My "High-Speed Running" evolved into the Motion tree. I chose "Flicker Steps"—the power of short, untraceable bursts of speed.

The "Talk" and the Escape

Carl, Din, and Alex showed up the next morning.

They were curious about Michelle—"Why is the French cousin so hot?"—but she stayed hidden, claiming a cold.

We spent the afternoon catching up. It was exhausting. I have "perfect memory" now, but these weren't my friends. I had to act the part.

After they left, I saw a new Quest: [ Secrets Always Come Out ].

I have to decide whether to tell Michelle I know she's a stripper. If I tell her, I get 70 XP. If I don't, I face an "unknown penalty."

As I was heading to the shower, Michelle caught me in the hall.

"Michael? I... I want to talk about our 'problem.'"

My brain screamed. I wasn't ready for this.

"Talk after the shower!" I yelled, diving into the bathroom and activating the Survival World Ticket.

A week in a survival game is better than a five-minute talk with her.
