《Round Two》Chapter 6 - Feel Someone's Gaze
Advertisement
Wait. If you have to pay for these experiences, then why was I able to enjoy those coffee and cigarettes previously? Also, why are these stab wounds still burning into my body!? Leo exclaims, unsure if he should be happy or angry.
Leo navigates to his summary page and immediately sees the reason. So that's why. He thinks with a frown. Under the rewards section was the Normal Human Experience package. It was valid for three days.
Leo lets out a sigh. So I really am undead… He thinks as he considers the implications. Will I just become an unfeeling monster after these three days? He wonders with a dead look in his eyes. No… I still have a chance at humanity. He thinks as his mind wanders to the Reward Store. If I continue to earn Work Points, I can live a relatively comfortable human life. It would take some effort, but really what choice do I have? Leo thinks as he considers how he would go about this. I have to study the jobs section… and the rewards store… I have to figure out how I can get as many work points as possible… Leo decides.
…
…
Leo went to a store and immediately bought a carton of cigarettes, three 60 oz bottles of hard alcohol, and some lube. Leo was basically going to experience death again in around 2-3 days, so he wanted to make sure he indulged in some vices while he still could. The cigarettes and alcohol were for obvious purposes, and Leo had also ordered a shit ton of Chinese food to his apartment. As for the lube… Leo didn’t like to actively pursue such things. He felt that this sort of thing should just fall into place on its own. And although Leo was tempted, very tempted, to find a lady of the night, to spend the evening with, his heart just wasn’t in it. So, he decided to settle for masturbation, because, if he was being brutally honest with his situation, even this, in the days to come, would be a luxury.

When the thought crossed Leo’s mind he wanted to laugh as hard as he could, and if this was someone else he was talking about, he very much would laugh. But unfortunately, this was his own reality, and in the end Leo could only bow his head and buy the lube. At least I still have porn… He thinks with a depressed sigh.
…
…
“Oh baby! So fucking sexy! I’m gonna come!” Leo exclaims as the tension is released. Leo collapses back onto the bed, naked. Leo looks down at his body and frowns. “Fuck, I’m gross.” He couldn’t help but comment before quickly exiting out of the webpage on his phone. “I need a drink.” Leo says with a sigh.
He gets up and walks to the kitchen before filling his glass with alcohol and chugging it down. He immediately becomes dizzy, and with a hazy vision and weak body, he reaches for his cigarettes. He picks up the pack and accidentally drops it on the ground. “Fuck.” He says before bending his naked body down to pick it up. He quickly takes out a cigarette and lights it before inhaling deeply and looking around. “Fuck. Would someone even consider this enjoyable? This is just depressing.” He couldn’t help but comment.
Leo takes another drag from his smoke and sighs once again. He looks up at the ceiling light and begins to consider his life. Fuck, in this crazy world, and in this crazy place... This depressing as fuck situation is a luxury... What a weird fucking reality. He thinks before shaking his head. Fuck it. I still got booze to drink and cigarettes to smoke. I’ll be fine. He thinks before making his way back to the bed. As he walks, his body couldn’t help but feel cold. Another person’s touch would be feel great right about now… Just to feel someone’s gaze on my body… Would be fucking great… He thinks before collapsing face first onto his bed. While he could, he very much wanted to sleep…
