At 1:00pm the auditorium was filled to the brim with students chattering left and right. Unsurprisingly some sophomore and FYBs tried to start conversation with Scott which he avoided as politely as possible. Some conversations went like this:

"You must be Scarlett, nice to meet you"

"You got it wrong, Scarlett is my cousin"

"Ah, but you're the girl in the video right?"

"I wish, I'm just a girl from Deep D"

"Oh that's sad, see you then"

Or like this:

"Hi. I watched your clip and was pleasantly surprised, who would have thought that there was such a genius hidden among the freshers? Where are you from?"

"Deep D"

"....We'll talk later bye"

* * *

"Hypocrite, people who didn't know I existed before now wants to get close to me, disgusting" Scott muttered with a frown. Until he heard muffled sounds next to him he didn't realize Maple was laughing the entire time.

"You think its funny huh? if you were in my shoes, you wouldn't find it funny not even a little bit"

"So...sorry" Maple apologiz

    Scarlett's heart pounded rapidly inside her chest as she followed Alan out of the auditorium. Aviva on the other hand was completely oblivious to Scarlett's nervous feelings.They left the stupefied audience and Alan led Aviva to his hover car, Scarlett couldn't even tell which model it was. It's not like she had seen a lot of cars in her life so her knowledge was lacking in that area and even though she went through Druce's memories, she did not remember seeing anyone similar."Okay you can swap back now," Alan said looking right at Scarlett's soul.Scarlett turned around to see if anyone was behind her but there was no one, still, Alan was staring right at her. Suddenly, realization dawned on her as she felt cold sweat run down her spine. "Y...you can see me?"Aviva immediately understood what was happening and immediately raised her hand to attack but was stopped by Alan."Don't attack, I'm not an enemy, you don't have to be scared" Alan said with his hand raised."What if you're o

    The owner of the restaurant came down to welcome them personally and from the beads of sweat formed on his forehead, Scarlett could tell he was nervous but who could blame him, Alan Quakkins had suddenly appeared in his restaurant, how could he not be nervous?The Heaven's Way restaurant was not the fanciest but it was among the top five restaurants in the capital. For couples, it was number two with Mystics holding the number spot.Alan and Scarlett were led to the last floor. The hall was beautifully decorated and Scarlett couldn't imagine how many Vs one had to gather with the IP to be able to book a table on this floor. Maybe that was why the place was empty.She follow behind Alan and they both sat on a table close to the glass wall, the view from there was incredibly nice. The scene was so romantic that if Alan hadn't clarified in the beginning that all this was fake, she would have thought he was trying to propose."So how many skills have you unlocked?" Alan asked while readin

    Scarlett cried for a few minutes before wiping her tears, but in her eyes, something lit. A strong desire for revenge suddenly overwhelmed her that made her radiate so much killing intent and poor Alan was finding it difficult to breathe.Alan wasn't entirely sure which part of his memory Scarlett had seen to make her react like this but it must have been something very bad. Things were starting to get out of hand."Scarlett snap out of it"Alan's call managed to bring her out of the state she was in."What did you see?" he asked. This time, the ears of the souls perked up as even they were curious.Scarlett was silent for a moment before she raised her head and stared at him "I had an accident before as well right?"Alan nodded with his head bowed down, misunderstanding that Scarlett was blaming him for not preventing the accident when he already knew."That means Wallace is still alive and I have to find him before they do" Scarlett suddenly said.Alan knew who 'they' were so he did

    [Congratulations on reaching level 10][Inventory unlocked][All stats +10][Gained new skill][+20,000NGC]Scarlett stared at the system notification with a frown, seemingly unsatisfied with the rewards.She was currently sitting in the VR pod. She had fought three opponents while Aviva just finished fighting 50.The last two days have been hectic, in fact the week itself was hectic, from having ghost inside her head to suddenly becoming famous and let's not forget her meeting with Alan who is another reincarnator.Maple was right, she had almost gone full cray-cray because of the endless purpose but fortunately the systems crazy daily quest was still being given so most of the time she wasn't even in control.As Aviva was in charge today, she used the opportunity to level up. She also noticed that as the levels rose, the experience needed for the next level grows astronomically huge.[Name: Scarlett Lekrosh][Race: Human][Exp: 14,800/51,200][Level: 11][H.P: 1500/1500][S.P: 40][

    "You're right, I do not want to talk so there's no need to lie. Remember, before your thoughts spiral out of control again that I Alan do not lack women, and besides you're still just a child" Alan said with a serious expression.Scarlett's expression went dark, it would have been better if Alan just shut his mouth. She did not appreciate being called a child by someone only three years older than she was."You said you wanted to buy a VR helmet right? I think we should do that today and deal with soul stones tomorrow"Scarlett knew Alan was changing the subject but did not say anything and just decided to ignore it as well."Yes and I also have a theory that the others might be able to use one on their own""You mean the souls?""Yes and although it's just a theory, I'm almost sure it's correct"Alan entered deep thought and wasn't very hopeful but trying wouldn't hurt. "So you're buying more than one helmet?""I've already thought about it and yes I'm buying five helmets" Scarlett n

    Maple was shocked and immediately let go of Alan after seeing his face transform. She knew about face-changing masks but those things weren't cheap."So it's Alan. I'm sorry I thought you were cheating" Maple apologized with sad eyes and then moved closer to Scarlett before pinching her sleeve."Let's just go" Scarlett sighed. She was already tired of the entire drama."Why would you two go on a date in the black market?" Ajax who hadn't spoken since suddenly asked.This was a question Scarlett was trying to avoid. She could lie but she might have to live the lie which might involve spending money on useless things. Left with no choice, she decided to just tell the truth. Fortunately, Alan has proposed they only buy the helmets today."I'm here to get a VR helmet""They are cheaper in the black market" Ajax nodded, he found nothing wrong with her answer."Okay as an apology for my actions I'll come with you guys," Ajax said with a smug smile."Why do you want to come with us" Maple sn

    Scarlett snapped her eyes open as she regained consciousness. After looking around a bit, she realized it was the next day already and she was in Alan's room, on his bed while he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Scarlett got off the bed but then noticed her clothes were changed. She froze as the thought of Alan seeing her naked passed through her mind.The door opened and Alan stepped in."You're awake?" he asked but was met with Scarlett's glare. He sighed as he pretty much knew what was on her mind."No I didn't change your clothes and no I didn't see anything. It was Maple who helped you""Where is she?" "She left. She said her family was visiting"Scarlett nodded. She knew there was no way Maple was in the hotel and not by her side."I can't believe I fainted" Scarlett whispered as she remembered yesterday's fight. She bitterly smiled as she remembered how cowardly she stood at the side and only attacked from a distance."It's because it's your first time" Alan walked closer to her an

    Two hours later, Wallace regained consciousness with absolutely no recollection of himself, he was completely blank."Let's begin separation and then we'll call for the young master" Dr. Link said to the other men in white coats.Wallace was then moved to a circular table where his code would be temporarily removed. Things were done carefully this time as they made him unconscious again.Several minutes later, a floating disk with a white manacore sitting on top flew towards the glass pod in the center of the room and ever so gently placed the manacore inside it.After the manacore was placed in, other floating disks started appearing, each carrying a purple or red mana core and then flying towards the opening of the pod.What happened then was a feast for the eyes. As the other manacores entered the pod, each released a hue that was absorbed by the white core.Thirty minutes later, the white core was brought out again, still retaining its color even after absorbing all those differen

    Deep in an underground facility, a young man stared at the reports in his hand and smiled. He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart."You have finally found a way to wipe his memory?""Yes, young master and you should probably continue reading the report" the man standing beside him said.The young man being referred to as young master nodded and continued reading until his eyes widened. "White? How is that possible?""I had them redo the test a couple of times but it kept giving the same results," the assistant said."A white mana core? It sounds unbelievable, the highest so far is gold and Aviva is the only one we have captured with a golden core, how can there be white all of a sudden" the young man lost his composure.While the world was still in the dark about mana core and other related subjects, he had been studying them for years."I was shocked as well, but isn't this a good thing? We have someone stronger than Aviva ever was" the assistant said."Do not say that...Aviva had

    Starting The Journey

    Few hours later Scarlett logged out. Fortunately, she got almost everything, the one thing remaining was elemental stones, not just hers but for the others too and she was hoping on them to get the coins she needed to buy them.After putting down her glasses, she was greeted by Maple's angry expression."I thought you said it was important?""It is important" Scarlett mumbled and then shook her head. She told her everything Alan told her while removing a lot of things though and inputting hers just to be safe."How do you even know all of that?" Maple eyed her suspiciously."Well actually..." Scarlett tried to explain but she was interrupted by Maple."Don't tell if you don't want to. I can't take it when you lie to me" Maple sighed with a dejected look. Ajax wasn't the only reason she was stressed, she had no idea what Scarlett must be going through but she wasn't telling her about it.Seeing the atmosphere becoming awkward she decided to change the topic."Where are your ghost frien

    Preparation

    Nebillon city had many markets, there was even a grocery market but players rarely went there, although one could eat in SSO. It was still advised to log out at least once in two months.As SSO was a prototype it could have many unforeseen side effects, well at least that's what the students thought and the only thing keeping them at bay were these thoughts.Scarlett made her way into the busy market looking for any life-saving tool although she already had one, it didn't hurt to have another. Losing her hard earn levels was a nightmare, not because she was afraid to fight more creatures but because she had no time. It was just a week before the assessment and losing just one level could spell the end for you.She then walked into a store that sold accessories made of jade. Most life-saving tools were accessories so a good start."Welcome, welcome!!" an enthusiastic voice came from the other side of the counter."Hello?" Scarlett tilted her head in confusion. She heard the voice but c

    Time slowly went by and before anyone could realize it, it was just a week left before the monthly assessment.Scarlett had patched things up with Maple and placed her full concentration on training, even though she felt that her instructor was pretty slow.She also ignored the third chain of the quest for the time being. The quest could be shared with ten people and that spoke volumes of how dangerous the quest was.In all this, Scarlett never forgets that her main goal was to save her brother but she was still weak.* * * Scarlett was currently in the training room with instructor Talon."Concentrate!!" Instructor Talon corrected again messaging his temples."I'm trying but it's hard, being on fire without actually catching fire, what do I even need that for, assessment is just next week. Please instructor Talon teach me something that is offensive" Scarlett pleaded but her pleas fell on deaf ears."I will teach you at my own pace. Now quit whining and start working on increasing t

    Exposed

    Maple stood outside Scarlett's room, trying to comprehend what she was seeing."You guys?" she asked confused.When Scarlett started letting out curses, she knew something was up. "Scarlett?""You can see us?" Scott asked shocked. Being seen in SSO was rotatably different from being seen in real life and they all knew that. In fact, Maple just did them a favor by discovering them in the room, imagine they suddenly appeared in the class like they normally did, the outcome would be disastrous."What kind of question is that?" Maple frowned. "Scarlett?""I'm sorry for hiding it from you" Scarlett sighed, but the others had a change in expression."What are you doing Scarlett?" Bruce asked with a serious expression."What? I have to tell her about you guys at least. Scott back me up here, even if I make up an excuse, sooner or later she'll find out the truth so what's the use""If it makes any difference, I'm still here and I can hear you" Maple folded her arms.Scarlett facepalmed, who c

    Third Chain Quest

    "I have to complete this quest soon, 24 hours is almost over," Scott said before walking out of the room given to him but then he saw Obehi walking towards him from afar and immediately went back to the room. He had gotten an idea and planned to utilize it.'Don't know if it will work or not but there's one way to find out' he thought before using the small knife on the fruit plate to slightly injure his neck. The injury was healing at a fast pace but at least blood came out and stained his neck.Scott then sat down on the couch making low groaning noise and pretending to struggle.Obehi entered Scott's room and saw him groaning while closing his eyes. She immediately panicked and went to him cupping her face in her hands."What's wrong with you?" after caressing his face for a long time she noticed the blood on his neck and gasped.Scott gave himself a thumbs up before slowly opening his eyes to see Obehi's teary eyes, a part of him felt guilty but he used the fact that she was an NP

    Fire Control

    Scarlett stood in front of instructor Talon, listening closely as he exile the different tiers of the fire ability."While other instructors believe that there is no ability stronger than the other, I like to believe the fire is at the top, understanding your ability makes it stronger""Every ability has its tier, ranging from five to ten. Fire has seven, the first tier is 'Fire Control'"'That isn't so badAs if reading Scarlett's thought instructor Talon scoffed before he continued. "Fire control doesn't just involve you setting something on fire, your control over its will is what counts. Will it stop burning when you ask it to or will it continue to burn even after your orders?""Abilities were never ours in the first place, it's a way of earth's compensation towards our different lack to its current evolution so abilities do have a mind of their own, you have to tame them""Moving on, each tier of an ability has two sides, control over your element and that of others"Scarlett st
