When Ethan woke up again, it was already 9 a.m. He hadn't set an alarm the night before and simply slept until he naturally woke up. Lately, he felt that playing the game too much had been taking a toll on him mentally—he was even starting to hallucinate—so he figured he should sleep in a bit more.
After grabbing some breakfast downstairs, he returned home and logged into the game. The moment he entered, he received a private message.
Atom: "Sealed! I got the Nether Soul Fruit!"
Ethan immediately grew excited and replied, "Where are you? I'll come find you."
Atom sent over a location pin, and Ethan quickly made his way there. Atom was in the Player Life Zone, busy concocting potions. Ethan approached, his excitement barely contained. "You really got it?"
"Yeah," Atom quickly took out the Nether Soul Fruit and handed it to Ethan.
