Chapter 5: Status
As the ants in his miniature world busied themselves with building a new home, Jack's curiosity waned, and he grew slightly bored. Seeking a momentary distraction, he reached for his monoculars to observe their activities. Mesmerized by their diligent efforts, he marveled at the intricate structures they constructed within the confines of their tiny domain.
However, his attention eventually turned inward, and he felt compelled to check his own progress within the system.
Name: Jack Fisher
Age: 23
Title: None
Skill: Dimensional Pocket
Talent: Speed (Level 1) - Stamina (Level 2)
Eager to explore the capabilities of his dimensional pocket skill further, Jack clicked on the skill icon, revealing a new window with additional options.
Skill Description:
The dimensional pocket represents a small universe that the user can control.
Subskills:
Time Acceleration: Allows the user to speed up time but only after leaving the dimensional pocket.
Ether Energy Absorption: Energy that resides within the dimensional pocket. When entities perish inside, their energy is left behind, which Jack can absorb.
Telekinesis: Enables the user to manipulate objects with their mind but only within the dimensional pocket.
Jack was astounded to discover these additional subskills at his disposal. Intrigued, he delved deeper into their descriptions and potential applications.
The concept of time acceleration caught Jack's attention, tempting him to speed up the passage of time within the dimensional pocket. However, he realized that this ability would only take effect once he exited the pocket itself, allowing him to witness the rapid progression of events within his miniature world.
Ether energy absorption intrigued him as well, as it hinted at a deeper connection to the energy that pervaded the dimensional pocket. It offered the potential to harness the residual energy left behind by the creatures or entities that ceased to exist within his tiny realm.
Lastly, the prospect of telekinesis within the dimensional pocket piqued Jack's interest. The ability to manipulate objects with his mind in this unique environment was an enticing power to possess.
With newfound knowledge of his system's subskills, Jack exited the dimensional pocket, choosing to activate the time acceleration subskill. He opted for a ratio of 1:100, meaning that one day within his miniature world would equate to a hundred years in the dimensional pocket.
Leaving his miniature creation to evolve and thrive at an accelerated pace, Jack turned his attention to the outside world. Seeking employment to support his ventures, he ventured out in search of a job.
Hours passed, and Jack returned from his job interview, feeling a sense of frustration at not having secured employment just yet. Exhausted from the day's events, he sought solace in his bed, succumbing to a deep slumber, hoping that a new day would bring better fortune
