As Josh appeared in the VR world, he couldn't help but give a nod of approval. This place was truly barren. It was just a dark and dim area with nothing but a basic rock Floor. The monk was there looking all around in wonder. Not that there even was anything to look at.
Josh regulated their stats to correspond to a level two individual with one hand while adjusting the pain tolerance setting with the other. As soon as he did, a red glowing message appeared in front of both of them. The entire color scheme screamed of danger.
[A pain setting of 45% is classified as the maximum acceptable number. Anything above that can cause serious physical and mental trauma. Are you sure you wish to set the pain setting to 200%?]
Of course, Josh was sure! How much longer would this take otherwise? He didn't have all day. On the other side, the monk seemed to disagree as a shadow of a doubt passed on his face. After accepting, came another annoying warning.
There are many paths to power out there, but two main ones. The first is to rely on one's strength and focus on it. For me, it was my will. The other is a sacrificial one. It requires giving everything else up for the sole goal of attaining power. Needless to say, the latter is faster but often leads to self-destruction.
