Having decided to leave, Arthur was just about to turn. 

~Humm~

But before he could move a magic circle suddenly appeared under him.

"What the—" The magic circle expanded under Arthur before swallowing him entirely.

Arthur's vision turned dark, and he felt his body turning weightless. Though this feeling only lasted a few seconds, as his vision returned along with the weight of his body.

"Huh… I'm back at the fountain?" Arthur looked around.

He could still feel lingering traces of magic in the air. He didn't know if it was because of his increased stats or his new class, but he could feel it better than ever before. But it also allowed him to know what had just happened.

'So it was teleportation… I guess it makes sense since the tomb would not be opened again.' Arthur thought looking at the statue of Kestrel.

It had moved back to its place and without the Medallion, it was impossible to make it move. Arthur didn't have it now either, as the medallion was down in the tomb. 

"The tomb will now forever stay closed…" Arthur reckoned.

He looked at his surroundings and saw that the number of players had reduced by a lot.

"Guess its almost time to log out…" Arthur took a look at the clock and saw that he only had twenty minutes left. "May as well return to the inn." He muttered.

After returning to the Inn, Arthur sorted his items for tomorrow. He had a lot of things that he needed to either sell off or make use of.

'I should make the throwing knives tomorrow, and pack up the rest of the items.' Arthur thought.

He would need to take a lot of these things with him to the Roran town. He had different plans for different items. Some he intended to sell in the town for higher prices, while some he would be getting turned into equipment.

Though he was once again reminded of his lack of a Spatial storage bag. Having become used to it in his past life, going back to manually carrying items around was a pain. Especially when he was limited by several of them.

'Let's arrange these and wrap them in the Giant Dire Sewer Rat Pelt.' Arthur optimized the items and put them in such a way that they could all be contained in the single large pelt. 

Once he did that, he tied the pelt. He could now hang it along with his large rucksack and haul it all the way to town.

"Thankfully with my increased stats, carrying it won't be as much of an issue. I won't be over encumbered easily." Arthur thought to himself. 

Having packed everything, Arthur was now ready to depart at anytime.

"Alright, Logout!" Arthur ordered.

>Player Arzhur will be logged out<

In the next moment, Arthur's vision turned into a flurry of colors and he arrived in the front page of Dream Pod V3. He could see several icons floating in front of him as well as a clock on the corner of his vision.

"Six am in the morning…" Arthur saw the time before opening the top of the Dream Pod.

~hiss~

With a mechanical sound, the lid slid open, allowing Arthur to step out.

"Haa~ I can never get over how better this is to sleep in." Arthur stretched his body, feeling well rested.

His previous bed was rather crappy and stiff. Every time he slept and woke up, his back would feel stiff while his neck would hurt. Whereas the Dream Pod V3 would automatically adjust to the most comfortable position for him allowing him better sleep.

"Now then… Time to get some food." Arthur opened the refrigerator and took out a couple of eggs before boiling them. 

On the other side, he prepared some instant noodles, before adding the eggs to them. And at the end, he added some chopped green onions on top, completing his breakfast. 

"Hopefully in a couple of days, I'll be able to eat proper food…" Arthur muttered to himself before starting to eat.

A few minutes later he was done and felt satisfied.

"That was decent, adding some extra sides really does—" But just as Arthur was about to finish his sentence, he saw something that made him stop midway.

>Character Arthur's hunger has been replenished to 100%<

~THUD~

Arthur directly fell down from his chair as he saw the words floating in the air. He didn't even say anything and simply stared at it for a few seconds. Next he rubbed his eyes and slapped his face. But even then the words did not disappear.

"Damn… Am I already getting the tetris effect? Usually, this took a few days to happen though." Arthur was not unfamiliar with it. 

Having played games for a long time a long time, he would start to see game like elements in real life though these were just a mental factor. They would disappear after a bit and didn't really affect him that much. 

"But it certainly looks a lot clearer than before." Arthur muttered and extended his hand to touch the words.

~DING~

>Clear Notification?<

"WHAT HELL! IT CHANGED!?" Arthur stumbled back, the words moving along with him.

His eyes rapidly moved as he started to think of possible reasons. He wondered why he was seeing such strange things in the world.

"Wait… strange things? In my world?" The words of Zaddreus started to echo in his mind again.

~gulp~

Swallowing his nervousness, Arthur sat back down to think properly.

"I never thought it would be extending all the way to there… Just what even is this… The game is carrying over into my world too?" Arthur wondered. "But then again… Zaddreus and the previous Dragomancer were able to turn back time. This is still acceptable when compared to that." He reckoned.

It allowed him to calm down rather quickly, as he thought over Zaddreus's words again. They were a bit vague and could be comprehended in different ways thus Arthur needed to look at it from all sides.
