Isaac opened his eyes and saw himself standing in the middle of his rented room. The sturdy bed was in the same place as he left, but this time the blanket looked different, without any wrinkles or dirt.
It looked brand new with a smooth silk texture. Isaac touched it with his palm and felt the smoothness grabbing onto his hand.
''Did Bella buy this for me?'' He asked aloud and decided to ask about it later.
He put Interface in front of him and pressed a few buttons, which made the Lizard Scale Armor to disappear, leaving him only in his t-shirt, which was on rags and leather pants.
Isaac looked at his destroyed t-shirt with a frown and remembered that he hadn't bought any clothes, which should be an obvious thing to do, but his mindset has been that this world is only a game and that clothes wouldn't get dirtied like in the real world.
But, now, he took a sniff of the shirt and grimaced after a terrifying scent assaulted his nostrils. The scent at first is impossible to be smelled, but when one concentrates on it... It is obvious that it needs either washed or, in this case... Burned.
He grabbed the shirt and ripped it off, destroying it completely, without any intention of using it again. He threw it on his bed and looked at his leather pants, which was also dirtied, but it could still be used.
But, after he was done checking out his pants, he noticed something miraculous.
''W-What...'' Isaac touched his stomach and trailed his finger on it. Previously, his stomach has always been smooth and soft, without any signs of muscles or abs that would make him look like a proper man.
This time... There was an outline of abs forming!
It was barely noticeable, but Isaac could feel it clearly.
''2... 4... 6...'' He counted the packs and stopped at 6.
His face showed his disbelief, and without further ado, he rushed to the bathroom to look at him in the mirror.
In the mirror, he saw a familiar-looking white-haired young man with grey eyes. His white eyebrows and eyelashes looked extremely unique, which gave him an ethereal kind of beauty, and combined with his smooth pale face and soft lips, it was something rarely seen.
But, his focus wasn't on it. Instead, he turned his gaze at his torso, and indeed... Outline of abs was forming.
Isaac looked at his frail-looking arms and touched both of them; he expected to feel nothing but softness, but instead... There was something explosive hidden inside.
He clenched his right fist and tried to flex his muscles, which he has done countless times, hoping to have muscles, but to no avail.
But this time, something different happened as a tiny bulge appeared, which soon disappeared.
A smile appeared on Isaac's face as he looked at his arm and finally at the mirror, ''Finally...'' He sighed and lowered his face.
He felt happy for about one minute until realization dawned.
This was only a game and not real life, but it was still better than nothing; at least he tried to convince himself to believe.
Isaac left the bathroom and went into his bedroom to lie down on the bed,
He just remembered that he has no spare clothing after destroying the shirt, which means that he has to call someone to buy him clothes, or he could use the Lizard Scale Armor as clothing, but it doesn't cover his arms, which would leave his arms visible and everyone would know that he wasn't wearing a shirt.
That kind of humiliation he won't allow himself to suffer.
''Maybe I should ask help from Bella?'' Isaac bit his finger and decided, 'Damn... I will think about it later.' He ruffled his smooth white hair and sat up.
''Interface...'' He murmured, and a familiar Interface popped up.
He decided to assign his 30 Stat Points he received from leveling up.
His eyes lingered on the [STR]
''Damn it...'' He pressed it forcefully and assigned all 30 Stat Points on it.
''Please... Goddamn work!'' He hoped and pressed [Accept]
[STR: 20 -> 50]
[SP: 30 -> 0]
Isaac waited and waited for the dinging noise to appear, which would crush his dreams, but... Nothing happened.
''Eh?'' Isaac turned to look at the Interface and widened his eyes in shock.

''Ahhh...'' Isaac moaned in satisfaction and felt strength filling his body, something he had never felt before.
After the moment ended, he finally saw the [MAX]
''Max... How the hell is 50 max?'' Isaac rubbed his forehead and remembered the pistol's words.
'Young one... Fountain of Life will change your life forever... Even if you can only take a sip because your mortal body can't handle more, it will still give you incredible benefits, but also... It will remove your strength issue and will help you guys escape easier.'
''Strength issue...'' He murmured aloud and started having a hunch that something wasn't right, ''Since young... It was simply impossible for me to increase my strength over a certain point...''
He remembered every word the Silver Pistol said.
''Do I have some unknown illness... Like Winter Illness?'' Isaac sighed and looked at the white ceiling, ''Did my illness get transferred to the game as well... No, that would be stupid... Luna doesn't seem to have Winter Illness in the game.''
'Tomorrow I will visit Luna in the hospital... I have to talk with Richard!'
He made up his mind and pressed [Log Out] button.
His figure, which was without a shirt, soon disappeared from the World of White after a long day of balancing between life and death!
