Dante... had a confession to make.
In truth, he had slowly been becoming arrogant after seeing his stats rise like the sun. He made breakthroughs in methods that took even the most talented natives of quantum worlds years in mere seconds.
Even if he was reasonably more sensible than most youths his age, he was still a hot-blooded young man with endless ambition, which was his driving force. It was inevitable that this would happen.
The scary thing was that changes like this never happened in the frontend, but in the backend. It was like becoming fat as an adult. When you completed high school, you might not have been fat or were even skinny, but after years of being mostly a NEET, you put on weight.
The relatable part was that you would not notice it until it was too late. It seemed to happen in the background as your body always constantly adapted to the new weight, so you didn't feel awkward until it was hard not to notice or someone pointed it out.
