Kill It

Alex arrived outside the secret realm and cut a hole in it to walk in. The hole fixed itself behind him and he was free to continue.

"You returned," Scarlet said when she saw him.

"How are you doing? Are yo— Woah!" he was surprised when he got close to her. In the month he had been away, Scarlet was already a realm higher than the last time.

"Did you break through already? That's seriously fast," he said.

"Yes, I wanted to say thank you," she said. "These pills are seriously amazing. I'm already on my way to breaking through to the next realm. If my calculations are correct, I should be able to break through to the Saint Foundation realm in under 5 months.

"That's…" Alex couldn't believe it at all. "That's seriously amazing." 

"Isn't it?" She asked. "Anyway, you got any more of the pills? I'm already down 6."

"Down 6? Didn't I give those pills to you just a month ago? You were supposed to take one a week," he said.
