Chapter 2

After 18 years, I can without a doubt say that this is one of the best moments of my life, I can eat as much as I want, no one can stop me, and I don't even have to pay, and for some reason, Gamer's Body seems to have removed a limit to how much I can eat, I am quite sure I have eaten enough food to fill a family of twelve, with their average weight being above the hundreds, thanks to all this food a nasty problem was removed.

---

Malnourished Perk has been successfully removed

---

After the notification, I finally felt full, so instead of wasting all the food, I stored all the remaining food in my inventory, I also used observe on the items to see their effect, the food restored my HP and sped up my SP regen, while the drinks Restored my MP, water having the weakest effect and only speeding up MP regen.

'Perfect. Now that this problem has been removed, what should I do? While inside here no one can hurt me and I can be left alone, should I even leave? This place is my domain'

If you have been inside the Mirror Dungeon for more than 5 hours, severe status effects will start appearing if you don't return to your original dimension for at least 5 hours

Status effects can be resisted if you have enough vitality

'That answers why I have to return to my world.' I thought while hurriedly heading for the nearest abandoned building and coming out of the ID.

The building has been abandoned for years, and aside from some druggy that liked to use the building to do their daily dose, or criminals on their last leg and trying to escape the worst situation, it was always empty, I had used it more than once as a place to sleep.

After coming out of the ID, I didn't move an inch, trying to hear, see, or smell if anyone had seen me or was near enough to see me coming out of the building, after 5 minutes I released a sigh of relief, at the same time a new skill was given to me as a reward for my actions, and a new quest.

My body immediately sprung into action, running for a place I was sure I could get some useful knowledge that might be identified as a skill, a library, while doing so I also started thinking about subjects I had studied while I was going to public school, before being kicked out.

I thought about all of the 50 states, recited the Fibonacci sequence to the highest number I could, and recited the three basic laws of Newton.

'4 our, another 11 more to go.'

I finally reached the public library, Wayne Industries had built this library after the previous one had been destroyed by the Joker, so this one was made to be as sturdy as those rich people's houses and filled to the brink with books that I enjoyed reading while I wasn't working.

I headed inside, said hi to the librarian who already knew me, always make the librarian your friend, and was surprised to see that some books were glowing.

'The fuck?'

---

You have discovered the Skill learning function of the Gamer's powers.

By reading a book where a certain subject is explained you will gain that subject, the speed with which you will learn the skill by reading is based on your Per and Int, if you learn the skill without finishing the book you can use the rest of the book to level the skill

---

My eyes glowed seeing the message, so I immediately took the books that glowed, making sure to evade the bigger books for now, since they would take too much time to read, continuously spamming Observe on any book that my eyes fell on.

And so I read and read, and read, till the sun was starting to disappear, my body muscles ached, and my eyes hurt because of how long they had stayed open, but I continued devouring those books, absorbing every word, completely ignoring the notification trying to disturb me.

After who knows how long, the librarian had to take me out of my trance, telling me I had to get out because the library was closing, I answered by simply nodding and heading outside, my eyes now glued to the notifications I had ignored till now.
