I woke up super early in the morning. Took a cold shower to make myself feel alive. Pick a slightly pretty dress that matches the current fashion trend I saw in a magazine. I don’t want to be a looker and overdress on this occasion. It's better to look simple but pretty at the same time on this occasion. What occasion? Well, this is the very first date of my life.The man I’ll be dating is a man I met online. The scenario we got into was cringe and probably dangerous in other people’s eyes. I mean, what kind of girl would go on date with a man she only met only? Yet, somehow, I think Ren is not that kind of person.About my safety, I’m going to be fine. I’m at the age of consent ad I’m not stupid like most of the girls my age. I’m confident and my radar to fanger is quite sharp. Ren is not the type that will do shitty things to me. I hope so… Well if I find out that Ren is a wolf in disguise of sheep clothing. I’ll crush his nuts and make sure it won’t work ever again.We decided to m
Already 3:00 of the afternoon, Ren and I just finish strolling around the aquarium and decided to just rest easy sitting on a bench. Today, I got lots of pictures are sea creatures special the weird looking on. I guess, the big ocean does have the weirdest most alien creature in the world.There is a theory indicating that underwater creatures are alien. Right now, I started to think that that theory is right. Octopus seems like something straight out of a science fiction story.I grinned a little while scrolling through the picture one by one and then. Picture of Ren with an expression of having fun appeared behind me taking picture of me and a penguin. I zoom in and cropped.It's kind of blurry, but I can still see his smile.I think it's very cute.“The aquarium got very packed this afternoon because of the student on a field trip. I guess, we came on the wrong date.” Ren muttered.“Nope… I don’t think we’re here on the wrong date. I have lots of fun inside. I’m quite happy that I
Kaede was still in trouble for the character action she made last night. Because of this, Kaede couldn’t focus in class. Remembering the whole event made her feel embarrassed more and more.“Kishimoto!” Shouted by her classmate as a ball rush to her face at extreme speed. Before the ball hit Kaede or potentially destroy her nose. Yuki appeared out of nowhere and took the hit instead.“Are you okay, Kaede?” Yuki asked.“I’m fine thank you for saving me.”Kaede answered politely, but this don’t mean their friends or anything. It was still important to thank people.Currently their play dodgeball for physical education. But since Yuki sacrificed herself for Kaede. Yuki was eliminated. On the other side of the court was Chiharu’s class. Chiharu glared at Kaede in anger. This was reasonable after all the hurtful words Kaede said to Yuki a few days earlier.Chiharu could not believe that Kaede is like that. And now, the one who throws the ball at max speed is her. She cannot hurt Kaede phys
Mountain wolf of destruction, the guardian guarding humanity against the sea dragon that appeared once in the sea of clouds. The mountain range serves as a wall between the sea of clouds and the land of Naturia (First floor). Once every hundreds of years the sea dragon will appeared once again attempting to destroy all of humanity.That was how the lore goes. Most people don’t care that much about the lore and focus on making their character powerful as soon as possible. Little that they know Lore sometimes was the reason the game was so exciting. All of the town in Fantasy World online was carefully created with their background stories. Everything here has its reasons and most of them have some hidden purpose. For example, acquiring a hidden skill or reward.Moonlight shone brightly and under that moonlight, two players were seen climbing the rocky mountain. The boy--Ren gets up first and gives his hand to the girl--Kaede. Pulling her up next to him. Kaede opens her map and check if
Next day.The moon was already dazzling in its full round beauty at the night sky in Fantasy World online. I logged in a bit earlier than the promised time of the meeting. While waiting for Ren, I open my status and check everything I have so far.Name: AkiLevel: 45HP: 8720/8720MP: 1200 (+400)STR: 770VIT: 500AGI: 330DEX: 210INT: 550Equipment: Northland armor set, Key of the desert, Ring of Aguila, Necklace of power.Skills: (Sword boost) (Sword mastery) (Boost) (Hopper) (Acceleration) (Wind skill) (Fire skill) (Earth skill) (Plant skill) (Lightning skill) (Water skill)Special skill: Sword knight setI have fewer skills than before. Thinking positively, fewer skills are easily managed than memorizing a bunch of skills with their effects. There are skills that I could enhance to evolve like “Acceleration” can evolve to “Extreme speed” As for now I won’t do that since I do not need Extreme speed skills.I plan on getting “Wire conjurer skill” then I got second though when I thi
Welcomed by the sweet little girl, Ren and I entered the cabin. The scent of freshly cooked stew roams around. Layla took plates from the cabinet and goes to start preparing the table for dinner.“It's been a long time.” A young-looking woman bowed her head to me. “I’m so happy to see you again Miss Kaede. Thanks a lot for the help that you did for me. Without you, I might still be in my bed being a burden to my sweet daughter.”“It's nothing… I’m happy that I’m able to help people in need.” I said.To make things easy for Ren to follow. I explain small details about how I met Layla and her mother while we were on our way here. Ren simply nodded and I guess he have a grasp on what was going on already.Layla holds her mother's hand with eyebrows connecting. She protested.“My mom is not a burden to me… I’ll do anything for you.”Her mom crouched down and kiss her on her cheeks.“I’m so blessed that you’re my child.”Layla is really a good girl. Seeing Layla and her mother get along we
August 19th, Harusaki Company underground facility. “Everything is working as we expected. A new world is working like how we intentionally wanted it to be. Expected from Master, Alice Harusaki.” An old man named Coco stated and his eyes were fixated on the huge monitor viewing random parts of the world they created in a simulated universe machine. The Simulated universe machine size was massive. In comparison, the machine is as tall as the Tokyo Tower. And to make it work, Alice needs a massive amount of energy. But it's none of their worries since Alice already created energy resources like nuclear power plants, solar panels, wind, and water. The machine was hidden in public, and constructed by the most trusted engineers and scientists. Located at the Hanrusaki building underground. The Virtual reality machine that almost achieves godlike… No, it’s an understatement for Alice's achievements. The simulated universe system does achieve the impossible. The machine itself could create
There was a time that I dreamed. A transfer student is coming. That child is a wonderful child who can almost do anything. Realized that I was among my classmates. With a smile like a bright sun “Kaede, it’s been a long time” and comes straight to me. Everyone takes their breath away. I hope such a thing happened. I know that such a thing will never happen. Such thoughts like this gist my mind sometimes. Probably it's because of my overwhelming loneliness. I’m lonely very lonely. I’m self-aware and it hurts so much. Waking up at seven in the morning. I go straight to the bath to have a cold bath to wake up my cells. Afterward, I go make some sandwiches. When I’m not in the mood to make breakfast. I simply go down to the street convenience store and buy a sandwich. Sometimes riceballs. Today's breakfast was cereal and milk. I like living my life like people from the West despite being Japanese. All of my things are very Western, I don’t hate being Japanese. I just think sometimes tha
Night after school hours, I go straight to Tokyo Metropolitan Hospital to visit Yunami. I send my phone number to Yunami online and using my email she can message me if she is awake. Knowing that he is awake for the tonight, I rushed to rent a cab to see her and make an apology. What I did to her and her mother last time must’ve upset both of them. I should explain myself properly. Lying is the only way. I can’t definitely tell them that my heart is broken as the reason why I rushed back home to cry.At this rate, I became a blunt liar.I heaved a deep breath to refresh before meeting Yunami in her room. Thankful, today the elevator wasn’t broken. I’m still hesitant as I grab the door nob. But there is no turning back now.The door make a clicking sound and there I saw Yunami reading a fashion magazine. Beside her was her mother who gave me a nod greeting me.“I’m so sorry for the last time…” I bowed my head immediately.“No worries here. There‘s probably some sort of emergency that h
Ren came here just to ask me for something. All of the time we spend together. Time we smile and laugh together. The time we both share together. All of those times as if they all disappeared into ashes.Alice thought while walking together with Yuki Harusaki back to their office. As for this time, Yuki was anxious about her sister's mood, because usually, Alice will never make such an unpleasant face to anyone. Alice always remains her calm demeanor and acts in her code of conduct all the time.“Big sister… Big brother is just…”“I know… His blinded by love. Love is the most twisted curse there is. Anyone whose enveloped by this curse is destined to do stupid things. Just like those others surrounding him.”Alice then heaved a deep breath and stretched her arms upward. Her piercing blue eyes connect to Yuki. Blue eyes that resemble the blue sky.Yuki don’t know if she will be terrified or glad seeing those eyes of hers. Whenever Alice made this specific wide glance, Yuki knows that s
After three days of crying and reflecting in my bedroom, I immediately went back on my feet and accepted the reality. There is nothing I could do about it after all. Human emotions are not meant to be controlled by someone. I can’t control Ren’s feelings.If Ren and Kanna were in love with one another. There is nothing I could do about it. Remembering my past conversation with Noah. I heard stories that Ren is desperate in his research to save someone special. Ren doesn’t notice girls in love with him because he already has someone in his heart.Putting all of the things I know about Ren. It all started to make sense.Ren landing himself an actress is a surprise. Ren is cool, but he's not someone I can see as actor material. No, I think he is, but not in the pretty boy section. Ren is masculine and cute in a strong way. Kind and nice, and looks younger than his age...“Why am I still thinking about that man?!”*Slam!*I slammed my head on the table. I hate these dark thoughts. Please
Tokyo metropolitan general hospital. The hospital where Clover is currently confined in. Upon entering the hospital I saw people in various circumstances. Most of them are grieving in the waiting area and others in joyous expressions. This is a hospital what should I expect? Most of the despair and hope can usually be found in this place.I don’t want to waste more time and go straight to the information desk and asked about the room of Yunami Kanade. That’s Clover’s real identity. The nurse asked for an identification card and after I handed my student ID.“Miss, do you have some sort of special request? Yumani’s room is not allowed for visits without permission.”“Oh, I do have…” I get my smartphone in my pocket and presented an email about my visit personally sent by Yunami Kanade.After some checking the nurse told me the room and inform The girl that she have a visitor coming.Yunami’s room is on the 10th floor. So high. Now that I think about it this hospital does look more like
Today is the day. Who am I kidding? I’m just excited to go back as Blackraven in the game. My imagination was filled with cool things to do. I would say that I was very very busy that last day. First, I had the training with Clover, hanging out with Yuki in the game and in real life, Consoling Ren, and laying down a proper build for this account.No wonder my grades in school are plummeting down the slope.My build is already complete and I’m going for an assassin build inspired by the Fuyuno and Tenjo, but, of course, with my own twist. I want to look like some kind of mysterious underground player. Something similar to a bad-ass anime character that stole the show every time he appeared on the screen.Everything is done. My visualization of my character and what I could do or my abilities.“Calling Blackraven!”The referee called and I hopped into the small stadium in a random town on the second floor.Each town and city will only have ten chosen players to participate in the sword
Urgg… What is this feeling? I feel like everyone is not being trusted by me lately. It's not that I'm doing something so obvious that would make them untrustful of me. Ren and Clover can just tell me what’s on their mind, but they always want me to go through some stuff to find my answer. Talk about a hassle. The class was lively as ever. Groups of people flock together and talk about their interests. Right now, I am surrounded by a group of normies. It's not that I hate it. Well, I don’t hate talking about girl stuff sometimes. Darma, popular boys, actors, actresses, the most handsome school, and more. I laugh about it because I barely know anything about what they're talking about. “Kaede, there is a rumor that a hot guy in the second year really likes you.” “Gosh, nothing like that is happening in my life,” I replied to my classmate, who I don’t know. I usually called her friend A in my mind though. Not very interesting. The guy I’ll be dating is a competent guy who can do thin
Days after. I’m back in "Fantasy world online" as Kaede. I never thought that I’ll be coming back as Kaede in this game. Not in my wildest dreams. I thought I’ll stay as Aki and have a long long adventure together with Ren. Speaking of Ren, I wonder why he looks so gloomy and desperate. I tried to cheer him up, but I feel like I was being pushed away. It was like Ren is having a problem that he cannot tell me. Urggg… It pissed me off. Why is he always like that? Sharing his problems with me is fine. I’m willing to listen day and night.Could it be that Ren doesn’t fully trust me yet? After all the shits that we went through together.Thinking about things that I could not control will only lead to despair. I should heave a sigh and try to relax. I’ll focus on what I can do for now.Right now, I’m in a second-floor mountain area with Clover. I'm here because of the promise I made to her not long time ago. She wanted me to teach her how to fight like me. I could teach the basics and how
Hello, I’m a former middle school student Kaede Kishimoto. Today I’m here at the popular free apartment with zero security deposit and zero rent.Its build with concrete blocks, something like river rock. It comes with a bed, but the drawback is that it's way thinner than I usually use back home. I’m not in the place to complain about it.It's also equipped with a toilet. I was happy because I can have some privacy within it. As a modern kid, I’m concerned about my hygiene.I can call this place a bargain, the rent is zero after all.It’s worth mentioning that it comes with breakfast and dinner. The food here is quite nice. I don’t know what kind of meat I was eating, but for anyone living a year in this world, you’d find it delicious.Now, let's talk about this apartment's reassuring security. Just look how sturdy these walls and iron bars are. No thief would look at this and want to get in.But ama
“My creation has destroyed… What kind of human are you? I believe your not the hero.”Astonished on what his body became stiff for a brief moment. He then cleared his throat and compose himself again.“... You got me there… Time to get serious.”That’s a useless people catchphrase.A huge purple magic circle appeared on the ground. From the magic circle, an undead witch appeared.“Come forth, my creation… Great mage from hundred years. Witch Marian.”“This is bad Kaede, that undead has a dense magical presence on it.”Alicia warned.The magical presence it has is indeed powerful. I can feel it on my skin. Its magical presence is as terrifying as its rotten face.I still have lots of Mp with me. I better make use of it.“Fire Sword!”My sword sliced his creation once again in half.“This can’t be…
