Chapter 57 - Roxas’ Association of some Words to Music

Third person POV

 Later after school, Shuto and the rest of Roxas' friends said to Roxas that a meter with the label Music Morale Boost had suddenly appeared in their stats, and it varied a lot. "Oh, that?" replied Roxas back. "It was a mod pack that I added recently." This shocked them a lot.

 "Woah, what?!"

 "You're the one who added it?"

 "What the what?"

Roxas then smiled. "Yup, you're welcome, because if the meter was high, your stats will be boosted temporarily."

Anko then came out of him. "Yup! You're welcome, guys. Cool, isn't it?"

Shuto and the others were stunned at Roxas' smartness and liked his add-on for the game.

 At the same time, the creator and the Elite Players were alerted by Roxas' mod pack and were distraught by it. But they couldn't unlock and remove it due to the passcode Roxas had put.

 Then, Saturday came, and Roxas and his party dedicated that to their climbing of the Tower. So far, after the first 5 hours, the party had cleared over 34 floors with a lot of struggle and hardships. Since Koyuki has no spirit guardian of her own, Roxas and the others have to protect her because they cannot die in the game. After that many floors, the group sat down on the 35th floor to eat a nice lunch. The food consisted of Japanese sushi, some steamed rice, Shanghai Rolls, and strawberries. Then, while eating with his friends, Roxas began to remember his favorite music in his memory and began to say a word that associated with that piece of music. The word was Timor-Leste, due to the music being used as background music for a data video of that said country. Yes, Roxas had the tendency to associate certain words with certain types of music due to association with videos that those types of music were being used as background music. His friends heard that and were confused by it. Seeing that, Roxas briefly explained what it meant. Now, his friends got that and were dumbfounded at his ability to associate like that.

 "Yeah, that's how I worked," Roxas replied back positively and confidently, "at least in my mind…"

 "But the way you think is more unique than an average person would think," Shuto responded back with a poetical style of accent.

 "Well…that's true…"

 After some time, the group stopped at the 40th floor and forfeited their progress there because they all wanted to go back down and rest up for this Saturday late afternoon. All of them had leveled up substantially, and thanks to the temporary boost of their stats, the party cleared those 40 floors with slight effectiveness and efficiency.
