"Gus!" Joel called, signalling for him to come over. "You're gonna want to hear this!"

Gus slowly ran over to them after gathering his weapons. As he walked down the road he thought about what he had just learned about the system. The first boxes were meant to just introduce concepts to him. While he could not say for certain how long that would go on for, he was almost certain that it could not be much longer. He had already reached level seven, and these introductory boxes were only meant to last for the first few boxes, at least according to the system.

'What happens after I'm past the introductory phase? Is it just totally random?' The worst thing about the boxes was by far the fact that he found his solution in them. He had come up with the strategy of turning to the boxes to find a solution, but that was like saying you made yourself rich by turning to the lottery and getting lucky. Could he really claim to be responsible for the outcome of that encounter?
