Beginner's Luck: 40
After a full day of waiting for his friends, Gettar began to worry. His physical training wasn't enough to distract his subconscious from sabotaging during the day. He barely kept himself busy, always finding himself walking towards the rift cube, hoping that he would time his arrival to the cube at the precise moment when his friends would return.

"Many of the secrets are no longer secrets. Reward chambers, trial chambers, and new magical beasts are all widely known these days. An even greater discovery is yet to be verified.

His minor wounds had almost healed themselves in the walk back to the portal, his major wounds would require the care of healers.

The AI said humans were happier without seeing themselves.
