The next day began like any other day .
"Are there any more grapes left?" I asked myself as I chowed down a grape that had fallen down from the tree .
As I looked up at the tree, I could see no more grapes . The grape that had just fallen down was the last one . I had wanted to try the apples, oranges and even the radishes when only the grapes dropped from the tree . I had consistently eaten the grapes so that I could move on to the other fruits, and could only guess how many grapes were left on the tree .
I concentrated and looked for more as I walked around the tree, but could find no more .
"I ate all the grapes…are the apples next?" A shiver ran down my body . After the apples would be the oranges, and after the oranges would be the radishes .
"Please…just kill me now!" I yelled out, kneeling in front of the tree . This place wouldn't allow me to die . Even when I repeatedly headbutted the edge of my greatsword, or even when I ran headfirst into the tree trunk, I couldn't die . Even when I beat myself up, and even when I climbed up the trunk and jumped down headfirst I took zero damage! My HP were always full .
HP: 733,500/733,500
Fatigue: 0
My health and fatigue never changed . I never lost a single health point no matter what I did to myself .
"I've put up with eating grapes every day for 1,496 days already! Why are you doing this to me?"
I remembered a movie scene I once watched . The movie was about a man who was stuck in prison, and only ate Chinese food while he was there .
"I'm not Oh Daesu, I'm Lee Jiwon!" I started kicking at the tree, but it stood resilient . I had nothing else to take my anger out on and kept kicking at the tree .
"After all this, sleep comes for me again . " It felt even more unfair . And so, I fell asleep once more on the 1,496th day in front of the tree .
---
While Lee Jiwon slept, Danhari's Treasure Chest came out of his inventory on its own . The treasure chest opened itself up, revealing a purple light shining from within . There was a Rank 10 item inside, oozing a purple haze and light .
[Sleepy Trainer (Rank 10)
One of Joseph Lee's collection . Created for a king's lazy son who slept for twenty hours a day and was too weak to be the heir .
The Trainer randomly uses one stage to grant stat points to the user .
When the user awakens, granted stat points can be moved to unassigned points .
There is a side effect to the Trainer . Because Joseph Lee created the Trainer in a rush, once the user falls asleep, there is no telling when the user will awaken .
The Trainer's stored Stat points
Stage 0 – 257,754 points
Stage 1 – 574,334 points
Stage 2 – 7,332 points
Stage 3 – 1,469 points
Has branding effect .
Once used, the Sleepy Trainer returns to the possession of the distraught monarch . ]
Soon, the purple light faded and a red light began to emanate from the center of the Sleepy Trainer . The purple light was soon completely consumed by the red light .
The Sleepy Trainer no longer shone a purple light and instead shone bright red .
[Sleepy Trainer (Rank 9)
One of Joseph Lee's collection . Created for a king's lazy son who slept for twenty hours a day and was too weak to be the heir .
The Trainer randomly uses one stage to grant stat points to the user .

The item had dropped from Rank 10 to Rank 9!
Lee Jiwon had no idea this had just happened and continued to sleep . However, unlike the other times when he slept as if someone was forcing him to, he slept peacefully, snoring away .
A black rift opened in front of the now-red Sleepy Trainer . A hand emerged from the black rift and reached for the Sleepy Trainer .
The hand had no fleshy form and looked like it was just skin on bones . The skin had the darkest black color and the hand itself was five times bigger than that of an average person . There were dark-red rings adorning every single finger of the hand .
"Live forever…in the abyss…thee who…stole my treasure…" a low, bone-grating voice emanated from the rift . The black hand quickly wrapped around the Sleepy Trainer and withdrew into the rift as if it were sucked in by a vacuum .
--------------------------
"Mmm…I don't want grapes . I'm not a vegan, I want meat . Mmm . " As Lee Jiwon slept comfortably while sleep-talking for the first time since he arrived in this place, the space around him began to melt away . The wooden shack's roof began melting, dripping onto the floor like water . The tree's fruits began melting, dripping down from the branches . As the liquid dripped down, droplets of the liquid flowed into Lee Jiwon's ears, nostrils and mouth, but Lee Jiwon kept sleeping, never feeling the liquid on his face .
Soon, the strange world melted into one giant sphere of water floating in space . Lee Jiwon was floating in the middle of it . The sphere of water dropped down, as if the laws of gravity had suddenly taken hold again . The sphere collided with something on the way down and burst, flinging Lee Jiwon's body off to the distance .
-------------------------------------
"Mmm . There's nothing better than meat . Who'd eat fruit when there's meat?"
My eyes shot open . I woke up while I was stuffing myself with delicious, grilled meat .
"Ah…I can't believe I was dreaming about eating meat . But, it's been a while since I've dreamt of anything . " Every time I started falling asleep in that place, I didn't recall ever dreaming . The entire time I was there, it was like my eyelids just became too heavy to keep open and I fell asleep as if I was knocked out cold, before I eventually woke up again . It was like it was almost faked; I didn't dream, and had barely any recollection of what had happened .
"The meat was so good, though . The way the pork sizzled on the grill…huh?" As I remembered what I was dreaming out, I noticed that there was something off about where I was .
"Huh?" I was in a completely different place than where I had just spent the past four years . I didn't see the shack or the giant tree!
"There's a TV? What? This is a bed and that's a fridge . " I looked and checked every single thing around me . I noticed a calendar on wall . September 2nd, 2027 . If the calendar was real, then four years really had passed!
"No…no way!" Rather than the fact that four years had passed, the realization that I was no longer in that place and back in reality hit me like a truck .
The relief that I was back was greater than the rage and injustice that I felt for being stuck in that hellhole with nothing to do .
I constantly felt that I might have been stuck there for eternity . I couldn't kill myself and had no way out . But now I was out, I had never been happier in my life .
"I'm free . I'm free . I'm free! Ahhh! I'm finally free!" I got up from the bed and danced around in joy . I was just so emotional .
I finally knew what crying tears of joy referred to . My own eyes had burst like a faucet . This was too great .
"Oh, that's right . Inventory open!" In the midst of my self-celebration, I remembered Danhari's Treasure Chest . The crap thing that stuck me in that hellhole!

"What…what the Hell?" As soon as I opened up my stats, I noticed my Unassigned Stat Points, and my eyes shot wide open .
Everything else was the same when I got on the plane to Japan, except for that part . I had 4,488 unassigned Stat points now!
"Hold the phone . I was in there for exactly 1,496 days, right? If I received 3 points a day, then that should add up exactly . What for? All I did was eat grapes and sleep all day . " What else could I do, but eat the grapes from the tree and sleep?
I remembered the Orb of Vitality . I took it out from my inventory and checked it .
