mans dumby stupid i Guess
This is a bit a late to an explanation but what I believe was that she was trying to make it so that there’s an “actual” risk so he wouldn’t act so reckless. Basically if you know, nothing is going to happen to your real body, he would have a much easier time to mutilatie himself rather than thinking he has an affect on his real body. This puts him in the mindset of the actual person whereas the consequence of his action will continue on as he live. The reason why he didn’t kill himself straight up was because he wanted to get the highest level satisfaction. By making the head assassin suffer as King of Assassin is ruined. Although he can pass with just losing an arm and assure that he won’t be the King of Assassin anymore. The MC needed the money. This is just my thought on it.
With that high risk being he suffers the same injuries as his avatar...what the hell did he just do?!
