Game Of Eternals: Sinner

Chapter 3: Gunivelle's Resturant

Neo looked at this with surprise and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

Bella wasn't letting him go with just that as she shook her head and dragged him out of his apartment, saying, "No, mister, just congratulating me is not enough. Let's go, we are going out for a meal."

Neo shook his head helplessly and told her to at least let him lock the door, to which she nodded, but was still not letting him go like he might run away at any moment. Neo found her antics a little funny as he chuckled and locked the door.

Bella dragged him to the parking lot as a vehicle was waiting for them there. Bella came near the car. The door moved up and welcomed them.

Neo looked at the car, but then shook his head as he sat in the passenger seat. The car floated a little and zoomed from the car park as it moved toward the restaurant that Bella had already told the super AI about.

She then brought her attention to Neo, who was looking out, appreciating the scenery that was constantly changing as the car was moving too fast.

Then she asked, "How is it going with you? Has the mana core formed yet?"

Neo came out of his daze when he heard her question. And shook his head.

"It did not. But I think it will, in two to three weeks."

Bella nodded with a little excitement in her voice.

"You have to tell me when it happens. I'm already waiting for you in the Tower."

Neo smiled in response and then Bella diverted the topic to random things to which Neo added a little from time to time as he wasn't that much socially connected with people. He could count on one hand the number of people he had interaction with.

After traveling for a while, they arrived at their destination. The doors opened automatically and Neo stepped out as he looked at the structure in front of him. [Gunivelle's Resturant] was the name of this grand piece in front of them.

This restaurant stood out among the city's hustle and bustle, its exterior a unique blend of cyberpunk and fantasy. The walls were made of enchanted metal that glowed with a rainbow of colors as it absorbed the ambient magic. The entrance was marked by a large, carved wooden door flanked by two colossal statues of dragons with glowing eyes. The tinkling of chimes and the soft whirring of gears, as well as the aroma of exotic spices and the sounds of enchanting music, greeted guests as they entered. The dining room was decked out with magical tapestries depicting scenes from enchanted forests and mythical creatures, and the ceiling was a gleaming expanse of stars and constellations.

Upon entering the restaurant, Neo felt he had entered a whole different world. In one corner, a group of dwarves sat at a table, their beards tangled with cybernetic implants, and in another, a fairy danced in the air, her wings aflutter with neon lights. The tables were set with fine china and cutlery, and the menu featured a fusion of traditional and futuristic dishes, such as monster meat steaks infused with nanotechnology and cocktails that glowed with magical fire. The overall effect was a stunning mix of fantasy and cyberpunk, with every detail carefully crafted to create a unique and unforgettable dining experience.

Neo felt a little uncomfortable here, but Bella was unfazed as she asked the hostess for a table. The hostess humbly led them to a table, on the second floor. The scale on the second floor was even grander than the first one, as the people dining on the second floor were wearing luxurious and branded clothes. Their every movement contained a natural poise while they had a noble air surrounding them, like even coming near them would be blasphemy.

Neo discomfort increased, and Bella frowned as she changed her request to a private room. The hostess complied as she led them to a private room. The people on the second took a single glance at them and upon seeing the clothes Neo and Bella were wearing, they ignored them and talked amongst themselves.

The room was designed in such a way that it gave guests a sense of exclusivity and privacy, with a luxurious and refined atmosphere that reflected the upscale clientele it served. The walls were rich mahogany wood panelling, adorned with intricate carvings of dragons and other fantastical creatures. The ceiling was painted a deep, rich blue and adorned with gleaming fiber-optic lights that created a twinkling starry effect. A large, rectangular table made of polished oak served as the room's focal point, surrounded by comfortable, high-backed chairs upholstered in soft leather. Fine china, crystal glassware and gleaming cutlery were used to set the table, creating an atmosphere of refined elegance. Large windows with deep sills provided views of the bustling city below, and thick curtains could be drawn to provide additional privacy.

The duo sat down, and a menu was passed to them by the hostess.

Looking at the menu and the price, Neo shook his head as he couldn't afford even the cheapest one here. Skycoin was the currency that was accepted throughout the world, and every transaction outside the tower took place in that currency.

The expense of these dishes could be speculated from the value that even the apartment that he owned, if sold, could be bought with 1000 Skycoins. And here one dish at the restaurant was 1/5 of his apartment price.

Bella, instead, was not looking at the price but the dishes and ordered Grilled Venison Skewers with Wild Berry Glaze, Cybernetic Salmon with Crispy Leeks and Miso Butter Sauce, Garlic Mashed Potatoes with Truffle Oil, Magic-Infused Molten Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Coulis, and the Elvenwood Ale.
