Digging Their Own Graves

"Did you have to drag me out so abruptly?" Kai exclaimed as he was practically carried away by his friends.

"You wanted to celebrate with them," Jet pointed out. "Kun texted me that dinner will be served early for us."

"But I didn't even get to take my slipper with me," Kai exasperatedly said. "What am I going to use for the rest of our stay here now?"

"You'll live," Jet smiled. "It's just a slipper."

Andy chuckled and patted Kai's arm. "I have a spare pair if you like."

Kai nodded. "Thanks," he muttered.

"Anyway," Andy continued. "That was so freaking cool! Did you improve once again?"

Kai pursed his lips as he looked at his system.

Then, his eyebrows raised in pleasant surprise. Not only did his XP increase, but he also managed to snag one of their skills.

"Sweet," he muttered.
