Dream

"Huh? Where Am I?" Ginn asked, confused. The last thing he remembers is sitting in his small rundown apartment, designing his new game when suddenly everything turns dark. "My head! Ahhhh! Did I overdrink again? This wrecked body!" He cursed massaging his temples. He did chug a couple of bottles of alcohol again like he does most days but to his defense, it was for his job not for his amusement so he was puzzled as to why he blackout. As a game developer, he needs his mind to be at its utmost peak and he believes alcohol could help him achieve that. It was just unfortunate that although he doesn't want to admit it, he was part of the rare human being who couldn't hold their liquor.

After composing himself, he noticed a transparent screen that looks like the one in the game he's creating floating in front of his face. "I guess, I'm still dreaming," Ginn said nonchalantly, poking the transparent screen. He is a game developer pulling an all-nighter is just part of the job and for him to be dreaming about work is not really that uncommon. For him, it was just Friday.

The screen floating in front of him doesn't look fancy nor as high tech as the one in other games. It only shows a small image of himself in a meditating position with the word Idle Cultivation System floating on his head but the moment his finger touches it a bunch of words starts popping out.

"There's still so much work to be done. There's still the market function, mission function, sect function, mount function, pet function, adventure function, companion function and I also need to make it looks awesome so that it can attract investors. This is going take forever. Ahhhh! I only want to drink, why is it so hard to earn money?"

After rambling for five minutes, Ginn finally calms himself down. "Chill! Ginn! Chill! Better just enjoy this dream when it lasts and drink to my heart content. Hmm, but let's distribute the stats points first and see if it works. If I'm not mistaken the Senses stats - affects the character's field of vision and the efficiency of tasks that require fine work. Physique stats - Affects a character's lifespan, heat, and cold resistance, and the efficiency of tasks that require strength. Charm Stats - Affects a character's temperament and the ability to persuade others and make friends. Comprehension Stats - Affects a character's ability to learn skills. Luck Stats - Affects a character's success rate during random number rolls. Potential Stats - Affects the speed at which character builds their Qi pool."

"Now that I'm saying it out loud, it did sound complicated. Ah! oh well, this is a dream anyway, I'll just think about it later when I wake up. For now, I'll just put everything to Physique so I could drink more." After deciding, Ginn immediately put all his stats points to physique. He was expecting a sudden burst of strength but to his surprise, he didn't feel anything. Frowning, he said. "Lol! Even in my dream I still have to deal with bugs, why did I take this profession again? Ah right, because it's easy money. Easy my ass!"

After grumbling again for a couple of minutes, Ginn finally manages to calm down. "Chill! Ginn! Gill! Alright, let just forget this fraudulent system and just look for a bar." He stood up to where he was sitting and started walking, although he woke up in the middle of nowhere, he was still lucky enough that he was near the side of the road. By following its path it would not be difficult for him to find civilization.

So he thought.

"Ahh!" Not even a minute walking, Ginn already heard trouble. "Damn! Not even 10 minutes in and I would already encounter a damsel in distress. What a worthless dream! At least have the courtesy of transporting me near a bar next time." He cursed, he was about to circle his way out of trouble when suddenly he saw a figure running towards him. It was a woman wearing a robe like the one in webnovels. If it was just her Ginn might have welcomed her with open arms as she was indeed a beauty but behind her giving chase is a group of large menacing bandits that he doesn't want to deal with.

"I'll be damn! The cliche cannot be escaped." Resigning to his faith, Ginn once again opens the game interface and selected the breakthrough option.

-Breakthrough

-Qi refining (Lv.1)

-Flesh refining (Lv.1)

As of now he already has 500+qi in his qi pool, enough to break through 3 times. The game he was creating is designed for the new player to level up quickly from the start so that they could get hooked and spend a lot of money when it became almost impossible to level up later on. To get to Lv.1 to Lv.2 players would only need 100 qi points but to break through from Lv.2 to Lv.3 that requirement will be double and so forth and so forth.

Even after breaking through three times Ginn still doesn't feel anything different. "I get it that I'm drunk when designing this thing, but come on, even the breakthrough system is bugged!"

When the girl first saw Ginn's figure from afar, she felt delighted but when she noticed that he was wearing nothing but farm clothes her face fell and all her hope shattered. Seeing this Ginn couldn't help but curse. 'Come on, lady, you're the one who heartlessly implicates me with your problem yet you still have the nerves to look down on me like that.' He is having the urge to capture the girl himself and deliver her to the bandit but before he could make a move something happens. The girl explodes with a sudden burst of strength and falls straight to his arms before succumbing to her injury.

"What the?" Bewildered with the sudden turn of events, Ginn looks at the girl sleeping soundly in his arms unsure of what to do.

"F*CK! She still has a guard remaining!"

"I thought the third brother had taken care of everything?'

"That is it matter? Let just kill him and capture the girl ."

Hearing the bandits the vein in Ginn's face voulge "Are you guys blind! I'm clearly a bystander. If you want the girl just take her and go. I don't want any part of this!"

"Bystander mystandar, call it whatever you want. Dead meat is still dead meat."

"Hahaha, Good one." The bandits ignored Ginn's plea and charged at him with their blades.

'Hayy, I hate dreams like this the most.' Sighing dejectedly, Ginn draws the sword in the girl's waist and put her down.

"Let just get this dream over with."
