## Chapter
- number: 46
- release_date: 2025-03-12

### Summary
The previous chapter's controversial cliffhanger is swiftly resolved, exonerating Crown Prince Karyan from any malicious intent. His ambiguous action of placing a hand on Jerry's stomach is revealed to be a reaction of shock and concern upon discovering Jerry is suffering from severe, visible stomach spasms. The true crisis of the chapter emerges from this discovery: Jerry, overwhelmed by his chronic frailty and the pain of the virtual world, has turned his "sensation meter" to zero, rendering him completely unable to feel pain. This dangerous act of self-neglect, which readers view as a form of self-harm, leaves both Karyan and the court mage, Lord Sears, mortified as they realize the life-threatening implications. While they desperately try to understand the situation, with Sears apparently using an "honesty spell" to get the truth, Jerry remains comically paranoid. He attempts to hide his manipulation of the system and misinterprets their worry as perversion, a mindset readers attribute to the influence of the possessive Fourth Prince Ilya. This incident pivots the conflict from romantic rivalry to a serious intervention, directly confronting Jerry's self-destructive over-reliance on the game's mechanics and forcing his allies to grapple with a danger his trusted guidebook never predicted.
