Corinne tapped on the traveller’s app and went through all the features in it. After they got back from the Cakeland Kingdom and completed the mission, both she and Claire had become full-fledged travellers.They finally had full access to the app. The forum was a place for all the travellers to socialize, there was even a tab in the forum for them to add other travellers as friends to engage in private conversation.When Corinne tapped on the shop, her eyes grew wide.There were so many things there, some were very odd, like this armor set.[Magical Rainbow Sparkles Armor Set - Have you ever dreamed of being a magical girl? Look no further! This armor set will make your dream a reality. Raise the wand that comes with the armor and say the following line to transform: “Friendship is magic! Your magical rainbow sparkles girl/boy is here!”+friendship buff+attack buff+defend buff]Corinne had to peer her eyes and read it twice just to make sure that she didn’t read it wrong.At the b

Ding![Mission: Get to the Willowdale Town inn before sundown.]Corinne wiped away the dust on the old wooden sign, trying to read the faded letters only to see that the words were still hardly distinguishable due to water and weather damage.It pointed in a certain direction, which normally would have guided travellers to a town. However, three short sentences had been carved into the bottom right corner of the sign in small letters; she would not have noticed them if she had not been examining the sign closely.Do not look back.Do not answer.Do not stop.As she finished reading what sounded like warnings, the fog had gotten heavier. Layers of mist writhed and churned around them as if they were not just fog, but something alive and malevolent. As if they were monsters slowly gaining on them, wanting to devour them and pull them deep into the abyss.
[Profile:Traveller Name: King of the WorldLevel: 1Title: Wild Prankster-You are as childish as a wild child that likes to prank people and enjoy seeing them feeling troubled because of you. +bear child buff (with this title you will easily attract wild children and get their attention, will you become their underling? Or will you be the one that is reigning over them? 50% chance of increasing or decreasing the affection of wild children)]Corinne took a huge bite out of her honey-dipped sweet waffles as her eyes skimmed through her traveller’s profile page in the traveller’s app.When she returned from the trial station, Cakeland Kingdom, she had gone from level 0 to level 1 and graduated from being a trial traveller. Both she and Claire became full-fledged travellers after they completed their mission at Cakeland Kingdom, which meaned they had finally gotten full access to the app.As soon as Corinne noticed that she could explore new functions that were previously unavailable,
When Corinne opened her eyes, she found herself inside a mini-bus alone, Claire was nowhere to be found.Apart from herself, there were nine other people on the bus, including the driver.Corinne was sitting by herself with her belongings on the seat next to her. She found a bag of potato chips on her lap, and her hand was holding a cell phone with earphones attached. It was like she was on a field trip.Her eyes went over to the passengers on the bus; some of them were chatting and sharing snacks, whereas others were calmly observing their surroundings just like she was, then there were a few who were looking around in a panicked manner.Were they NPCs or travellers like her?Corinne proceeded to look out the window only to see that it was broad daylight outside. She noticed that there wasn’t any traffic on the road, the bus was the only vehicle driving down the path. She did not see any buildings either, only trees, endless trees like they were in the middle of a forest.Pulling her
It had been two and a half hours since they started walking down the forest path.Ace glanced at his watch, then at the travellers, as well as the NPCs.Abigail was now dragging her feet, supporting herself with a thick branch. She bit her lower lip, still looking pale with a layer of sweat shining on her forehead, but she did not complain or rely on the others, instead she stood strong and continued to walk.When Ace’s eyes landed on the thick branch, his eyes twitched and swept over to a young girl who was playing with another branch in her hands. In under thirty minutes, nearly all the NPCs had branches that were being used as canes. This was the work of the brunette traveller -- Corinne.He wasn’t aware that Corinne had the strength of Hercules. When she noticed that they were tired, her went over to the trees that lined both sides of the path to retrieve the branches. Apart from Corinne and John who barely broke a sweat, most of the people in the group were tired. What surprised
As soon as they stepped foot into the territory of the town, a familiar sound rang in their head, and a screen flashed into existence.Ding![Station: Willowdale TownMission: Put Willowdale Town back on the map.Countdown: 5 days]The travellers paused, exchanging glances with one another. Corinne raised a brow, unlike the Cakeland Kingdom which gave a brief description and background of the station and what was going on, all she got this time was the name of the station and a basic mission -- which only made her all the more confused.She looked at the others, seeing that they were just as confused as she was. Well, except for John, who had been carrying a carefree expression on his face ever since they got here.Corinne directed her attention to her surroundings and began to observe the town.The winding streets were empty, and the scattered houses seemed very strange and out of place to her. The wind could easily be heard, given the lack of people, and the breeze screamed for cov
Kiki: Why did you come here?It was a new message from Kiki.Corinne was startled, her eyes moved up to the top right corner of the screen. There were no bars…There was no signal at all.What came after gave Corinne a shiver down her spine.Kiki: Why did you come here?Kiki: Run…Kiki: Why are you here?Kiki: You cannot be here, run!The messages came in one after another, but they gave off very different vibes, as though Kiki had a split personality.Then, a message instantly threw her to the North Pole. Kiki: I’m here…As if on cue, she heard knocking.Corinne’s eyes swept towards the door, but the knocking sound came from the window.That was when Corinne felt it, someone was gazing at her. Corinne turned her head and make eye contact with an eyeball. Someone was staring at her through the gap of the curtains.Corinne raised a brow, her room was on the second floor, unless the person outside was a ninja or Spiderman, the only thing she could think of was ghosts. And with the messa
