I Am Cured?

"Ouch…"

Zen groaned as he stretched, taking off his helmet in the process.

He proceeded to sit up straight in his bed and looked at his sister who was currently laying on the sofa with the gaming helmet on her face.

"What a pity that we didn't log off at the same time."

Feeling the need to go to the bathroom, Zen dazedly got up and walked towards the bathroom while rubbing his eyes.

Because the real body of the player is at rest whenever they play the game, it feels as if they had a good night's sleep when they woke up. The guarantee of always being able to wake up refreshed is one of the game's aspects that made the world crazy over the it.

Zen proceeds to urinate in the urinal inside the bathroom, still dazed from waking up.

Not long after, as his mind cleared up and the blurriness of his eyes fades away, he also started to come to his senses.

"Wait. What the fuck!?"

Zen tried to calm down. He had no choice because if he got overly excited, then he would be at risk of splashing his pee everywhere. Thus, he breathed deeply, trying his best to calm down his excitement.

He couldn't help but tear up a bit.

It looked hilarious from outside. After all, since when did you see someone tear up while peeing? However, it was something big for Zen.

'Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn. Damn.'

Curses were continuously said inside his head as he shook his body to make sure that he had no more pee inside his bladder.

Sighing in relief, Zen said, "Damn! It had been so long since I peed like this!!"

He washed his hands in the sink and splashed some cold water onto his face which made him feel awake and refreshed.

After a while, he looked into the mirror and what he saw shocked him even more.

His ruby-red eyes were bright, his skin complexion shone healthily, his face wasn't sunken, even his body looked as if he went to the gym because of his lean muscles.

It was as if he had been healthy all along, and that he had never been sick to begin with.

The only things that reminded him of his cancer was his clothes and his long, messy hair that currently draped on his shoulders.

"Damnnnnn…."

"Am I cured?"

"I think I'm cured…"

"It's not a dream, right!?"

Zen splashed his face with more water and slapped his cheeks.

"I really don't wanna get my hopes up so let's make sure…"

He slapped his face multiple times.

'It's not a dream…"

"I am cured…?"

"I am cured…"

"I! AM! CURED!"

"haha… ahaha… HAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Finally…. Finally!"

He could not help but kneel as he leaned his forehead on the sink.

"Hell yeah!!!!"

Fortunately, the walls in his luxurious private ward were soundproof. Thus, he didn't have to worry about disturbing the other patients.

As for Sera, she was currently sleeping while in the game so noises would not disturb her.

Zen got up and looked at the mirror again with a smile.

Looking at his face with hand-shaped red marks, he finally became relieved because it meant that what happened was real!

After brushing his teeth with a smile, he exited the bathroom while skipping and hopping around.

Zen sat on his bed with a jump and noticed the appratusses that were supposed to be embedded in his body.

He checked his arms, legs and other parts of his body and noticed that there were no marks, scars, or any evidence that various medical equipment were embedded in them just a while ago.

'Huh… that's weird. Isn't there supposed to be some scars at least?'

The number of medical apparatuses inserted in his body in the past was no joke, it was even to the point where he looked to be part of some sort of human experiment that made humans robots.

After a moment, Zen checked the medical apparatuses that were previously inserted in him.

Seeing that the needles at the end of the medical apparatuses were fine, he began to think.

'Hmmm… did the needles just bounce off my skin? Strange… maybe it's because of the fact that I suddenly gained a huge boost of Constitution stats and made my body hard?'

'Maybe it's because of the sudden change in the attributes of my body?'

Feeling confused, Zen tried to think harder only to sigh in defeat after a while.

'Forget it, I'll stop thinking about this for now. I'm just happy that I'm finally able to move!'

Zen's happiness could not be described with mere words.

His sight landed on Sera and an idea popped into his head, making him laugh cheekily.

'Hehe… I wonder what their reaction is gonna be when I show them that I can finally move freely again. I'm excited just thinking about it!'

In a dim room…

Rrrrring~ Rrrrringgg~

A pink phone kept ringing in the dark nonstop, producing annoying sounds.

The pink phone was placed at a bedside table.

"Ughhhhh!!! Who is calling me at this hour!?!?"

The woman who was sleeping in the bed woke up and rubbed her eyes, clearly annoyed about being disturbed in the middle of her sleep.

As she moved towards the bedside table to pick up her phone, the moonlight shone on her face and revealed some of her features.

She had a head full of pink hair, a cute face with an annoyed expression, and even though only a part of her body was visible through the moonlight, it could be seen that she had a lithe body which gave a sense of being fit and flexible.

A body suitable for combat while still maintaining beauty.

Soon enough, she reached for her phone and picked it up.

She saw that there were only a string of numbers, meaning that the caller was not in her contacts.

She shook her head to get out of her grogginess, cleared her throat and answered the phone while maintaining a cautious attitude.

"Who is this?"

As she heard the answer of the caller, she couldn't help but become more annoyed.

"What!? You bitch how did you get my number!?"

"Assistance my ass."

"Fucking leave me alone!"

However, just as she was about to end the call one-sidedly, she heard something from the caller that made her actions stop.

"Oh wait, what did you say?"

"For real!?"

"Hmph! I'm only gonna do this for him and my godchildren, okay!!"

"Sure, sure. Fuck you."

Toot~

She placed her phone at the bedside table and laid back in her big, comfy bed.

However, a smile could be seen on her face.
