I was happy when Ren told me that he will be seeing me in my school. But it brings me no joy seeing the beauty clinging beside him. My brows having an uneasy time staying and my smile was forcefully awkward. In my class rumor of me dating someone older was afloat. I like it honestly because I was aiming to make it a reality. But with Noah’s appearance in the school and my classmates seeing her. Another gossip is about to arise. I could hear the mutter of my classmates. “That’s Kaede’s boyfriend.” “Wait, look someone is in her arms. An incredible beauty.” “Meaning, Kaede’s boyfriend is just toying on her.” “Poor Kaede, I can see the shock on her face.” “Older men just play with teenagers after all. They’re not taking teens seriously.” Gosh, I can hear all of you. This is simply a misunderstanding and I’m not going to snap out because of it. I heave a sign calming myself down and approached the two researchers. “Good day, How’s school, Kaede?” Noah greeted her hand curled on Ren. I
Unable to refuse the offer of a kind mother. Ren and I are now back in Layla’s home. I’m not really against it, since, Layla’s mother's cooking is top-notch. In addition, eating in the game doesn’t affect the real-life body. I can eat and eat here and gain no extra weight at all. I could just munch and munch the food that I wanted. Sometimes I wish the real world is the same. “I don’t really know anything. I apologize I couldn’t help at all.” Layla’s mother replied to Ren after Ren showed her some questions. The mother's expression grows restless. “I’m the one that should be apologizing. I’m being too pushy.” Ren apologetically bowed his head. “As long as I can help with Kaede… If you have questions about the village and the players here. I think you should visit the saint. She was the one closer to the lord of the village here. The lord is hard to meet since he's too busy, but the saint is always waiting at the church. But this hour may not be the time since it's already night.
The monsters had cornered Ren and Kaede. Both players level their swords ready for combat. And that the moment, the ring leader of the army brandishes his greatsword all monsters bounce fort with bloodlust in their eyes. Ren shifted his glance toward Kaede in a second but was surprised she wasn’t a bit scared. Kaede’s eyes were looking excited for some reason or another. Weird because girls would be freaking out when they are placed in a do-or-die situation. Kaede was always different from normal girls. She’s the kind of girl that would be excited when a terrorist goes to her school and takes everyone hostage for the reason that it's a major event in life and only a few people could experience such an event. Kaede held her sword in both of her hands and make a sword's stance in perfect form. Her form is beautiful and her mind is calm. That feat in this circumstance was amazing. Ren was amazed at Kaede’s keeping her cool. But Ren’s play style was different from Kaede's. Ren’s skills
Before my vision turned white all I remember was Ren’s alarmed expression reaching out to my hand. Everything happened next to an instant and I don’t have a plan to blame anyone for this mistake. The accident happened every time. Where I am now? The surrounding area was spacious enough to have this high ceiling. The huge pillars standing tall around have these glowing crystals scattered around its body, lighting up the area. I walked at ease. I know for sure that I’m safe since I logged in to the facility. My consciousness won’t be affected even if this NPC tried to kill me. Speaking of NPC. There is one in front of me. Standing tall and wearing samurai armor on its hand was a long samurai sword. The design screams Japanese culture. The katana, the armor, and the demon mask. This one looks like a samurai warlord or something. I didn’t know that monster look this cool existed. And it's level… Level 110. Currently, I was at level 62. This one is almost twice my level. Killing this
“Congratulation! Your effort in studying the sacred text has come to fruition. From now on, you’ll be appointed as the saint of this village. Saint Cecilia.” The priest said to the young girl standing on a stage facing all the few people living in the village of Fone. She was praised and welcomed by a feast made only to celebrate this occasion. But what exactly is a saint? Being a saint was a job of a pure maiden. Only maidens who devoted themselves to studying the sacred text and divine teaching could become a saint. And only Saints hear the revelation of god. Saints act like a guardian angels to everyone... or so that’s what everyone believes. Cecilia was delighted with her attendance. Because from now on she’ll be hiring the revelation of god and with her help, she could guide the village to the path gods gifted to them. This is an honor that cannot be purchased by anything. The saint was loved by the villagers in the following days. People always came to make a confession of th
Back that the facility, Noah continues watching the pulse rate and brain reaction of Ren and Kaede while lying down diving inside the virtual reality. It was two hours since the two dived down inside the game and thank goodness there is no abnormal effect sharpening. The modification and software created were working fine. This placed huge relief within her heart. Don’t think badly of Noah, they do test the modified nerve gear first before conducting the mission. That’s one of many reasons it took more than a month before Ren made contact with Kaede. But Noah kept herself busy observing the two bodies. Securing the utmost safety of Kaede and Ren. A face that he’s unexpecting to meet in their laboratory arrived. “Still making mediocre science, Noah.” The girl was the genius scientist, Alice Harusaki. Her pristine white face, eyes blue as the sky, and overly beautiful face suddenly appeared right beside Noah like a mushroom. Noah was pretty and beautiful no matter who you ask, but
I started to get a sense of familiarity as I travel around the dungeon. The passage and every turn of the dungeon were remembered. I’ve been here before grinning experience to level up. It takes some time for me to remember everything and don’t blame me for that. This game has hundreds upon hundreds of dungeons within. Each dungeon was unique to one another with different map and boss monsters. They are so different from one another. I am always amazed at how the developer managed to come up with new ideas like it was nothing. People with lots of imaginations within their minds sure were amazing. With that said, it will take some time for me to remember the dungeon mapping. “Roar!” Howled by a Cave wolf monster. A pack of hungry-looking wolves on their back was One-eyes flying bats. All Ievel ranging from level 30 to 40. The one willing has a different color and its name shining. Above its health bar. Meaning that monster was a rare one that would give huge experience points. I’m
(This happened while Kaede was searching for Ren in the dungeon.) A swirl of glimmering blue wind enveloped the Saint. Her Magic points or MP materialized into a weapon. From tin air, she created a blue spear that strongly resembles the church cross. Across the room, there is the little girl named Angela who seems frighted watching the Saint transition. The angelic girl she looked up to is now making an intimidating expression. Despite being beautiful. She’s making a face that kinda resembles a demon. Angela staggered. She shifts her head toward the puppets but all of them are restrictedly chained down. No matter how much she tried the chains won’t budge. “Stay away!” Ren yelled to Angela. “I won’t abandon Saint Cecilia!” “I understand what you felt. Leaving someone you care about in a dangerous situation was very hard. But if you stay here you’ll be caught in our fight. I sound like a hypocrite right now, but as much as possible. I don’t want to hurt anyone. I don’t want to kil
