Ryan squeezed his eyes shut for a long moment, trying to block out the constant annoyance of the notifications that kept echoing inside his head.
After four straight hours of casting skills and triggering debt collections in front of hundreds of citizens, the system's notifications had become incredibly difficult to endure.
He raised a hand to his forehead and slowly rubbed his temples, breathing in the fresh air at the foot of the mountain.
Gradually, the incessant blue flashing behind his eyelids began to slow. The noise faded, leaving a sense of calm in his exhausted mind.
But just when it seemed all the alerts had finally settled down, a new, much clearer chime rang in his head, and one more window appeared before him.
