Kapitel 39: All The Life Drainers!

Hobe, still struggling to comprehend the abrupt change in his circumstances, muttered, "Brace myself for what?"

Chris burst into laughter, the sound filling the sterile medical room. He handed Hobe a manual for surviving in the Upper Society and advised, "Read it carefully and understand it well. You should know, the installation program isn't free, and life here certainly isn't either. While you were sleeping, you've racked up a debt of 500 points..." Chris's eyes narrowed mischievously as he relished the sight of Hobe's bewildered expression. With an almost cheerful tone, he continued, "Work hard, my friend. Your debt might not stop at just 500, especially when you factor in what Alina has already paid on your behalf."

The room echoed with Chris's schadenfreude-filled laughter before he playfully kicked Hobe out of the medical facility. As the door closed behind him, Hobe was left to ponder the challenges and debts that awaited him in this unfamiliar Upper Society.
