Rebecca ca back after an hour, and we had so sandwiches from the local convenience store. Sitting on the couch, I tell her about the information on the 'Generals' and told her to be careful about the pink-haired female since she was situated in the South.
"Will I even see her? I have barely seen any undead. I'm usually fighting against beast-type monsters or goblins and orcs." - Rebecca
"Not sure, but I want you to still be careful. It looks like she usually commands the army of undead, which ans you would see them coming and have ti to escape, but at the sa ti, it will be hard to escape from the undead." - Ian
"Why? Don't I just leave?" - Rebecca
"Undead doesn't need to rest, but humans and demi-humans do. Eventually, you will tire and once that happens they will catch up to you." - Ian
"Hmm, I see. By the way, have you been sleeping alright?" - Rebecca
Rebecca leans closer to , looking at with her clear blue eyes. She places her hand on my forehead and looks at with a worrying expression.
"I-I'm fine. Why do you ask?" - Ian
I gently pull away from her as she approached .
"This morning what happened? You still haven't told anything about that." - Rebecca
"Oh, umm, I guess I was just tired?" - Ian
"Don't. Bullshit , there was obviously sothing wrong." - Rebecca
I try to calm my rapid heartbeat and slowly take a deep breath.
"I died in the ga protecting my NPCs from a heatwave. I felt my back burn and then my skin lting before I died. When I woke up, I had a splitting headache and my bed was drenched in sweat. Then I fell asleep again until you woke up." - Ian
"Was that it?" - Rebecca
"Yea. Nothing else." - Ian
"Hmm, maybe you should rest up during the day and sleep more. The both of us aren't working at the convenience store anymore, so you can use that ti to relax." - Rebecca
"I can for a bit, but eventually I'll need to find a job and get back to work. I need money for food, rent, and bills too." - Ian
"I can help with money for a bit. After all, I am staying here." - Rebecca
"Right, how co you are staying here? I understood for a while after your incident but why are you still here?" - Ian
"Do you not like here? Isn't it fun having a beautiful girl like living under your roof?" - Rebecca
Rebecca smiles, leaning forward again and climbing on top of slowly. Her oversized white shirt hung low enough that I could see her black lace bra. I back off slightly, as she gets on top of , and places her hand on my cheek.
"I-I-It's not like, I don't like you here. I just didn't know why." - Ian
She leans forward and whispers in my ear before getting off and sitting back on the couch, normally.
"Just because~" - Rebecca.
Smiling at my flushed face, she giggles and continues on her reason.
"And because I don't like ho. Don't worry, I have savings as well, so we won't be broke." - Rebecca
"Alright…" - Ian
"By the way, what's for dinner?" - Rebecca
"You just had lunch, and you are already thinking about dinner?" - Ian
"A girl can get hungry, you know." - Rebecca
"Well, what do you want?" - Ian
"Spaghetti?" - Rebecca
"Sure. We can make so spaghetti." - Ian
.........…
"Rebecca, do you want to sleep together tonight?" - Ian
"WHAT?" - Rebecca
Dropping her fork on the table and spilling so spaghetti sauce everywhere, Rebecca surprisingly jumps up from her chair. Her face is red as a tomato as she looks at .
"Wow, wow, wow, waitttttt. I don't an it like that." - Ian
Noticing the way I spoke, I blush as well, slapping my forehead at the way I approached the situation.
"I an, sleeping in the sa room when we go into the ga. In case sothing happens, we can at least be there for the other person as soon as possible." - Ian
"Oh, umm, yeah, okay." - Rebecca
Rebecca slowly sits back down on her chair, holding her cheeks in embarrassnt. I avoid eye contact with her as I finish up my food and go wash up the plate. Rebecca finishes her food soon after, cleaning up her ss and retreating to the bathroom. I hear the shower water running and attempt to clear my mind by looking at the ga forum page.
The previous post about the 'Generals' is still the top post, with subsequent smaller posts about potential 'Generals' popping up right under it. The big 3 guilds were still advertising on the forum, but I could see smaller guilds trying their best to advertise as well, since there are a lot of gaming companies out there. The only problem is that the ga doesn't have a monetary system yet, so there is no way for guilds to earn money from the ga.
Thinking about it now, why hasn't there been so sort of gold system? What do the guilds get out of hiring players and making them work for them? Other VR gas always used a gold system, where trading real money for in-ga cash was always the thod guilds used in hiring players. However, this ga doesn't do that.
Player interaction is still relatively new, with only small groups of players finding each other. Posts of players saying they are just a team of 3 or 4 are the biggest I have seen, and even so Leaders only have seen one other player while they have been building their village.
Travelers in the forum have stated that it was hard finding thods to get stronger with the increase of monsters, but others have said the opposite. More monsters ant more chances to grow stronger from the loot, but stats were stagnated since the ga doesn't have a level system. Instead, Travelers have found items that increased their stats in the ga. So foods have also been found that increase stats as well, but those were rare, and it was more common to find an item with gives an increase in stats.
Ancient ruins were also rare, but the players that have found them were always cheering. Big stats increases or rare weapons or armor have been found and for Leaders the occasional special building has been found, increasing the village's strength.
As I was scrolling through the forum, Rebecca finishes her shower, coming out with a towel wrapped around her head, holding her hair up. The steam emitting off her slightly wet body as well as the slightly transparent white shirt made look away.
"Shower is free, Ian." - Rebecca
"I know, I can tell." - Ian
"What are you looking at?" - Rebecca
"Just random stuff on the forum." - Ian
"Hmm…" - Rebecca
Rebecca walks over towards , holding up her hair. She bends down beside to get a better view of the screen, and I could sll the faint lavender shampoo that she just used.
"What's that post about?" - Rebecca
"Huh? Which one?" - Ian
Following her finger, I see a post that has been buried in between a pile of guild advertisents.
[ Anyone else experienced extre heat and earthquakes in the ga? - ArchWizardo
Just posting here to see if anyone else has experienced sothing similar. Last night in the ga, I was roaming around with a fellow NPC as I am a Traveler, and we experienced a major heatwave as well as multiple earthquakes.
We are currently near a mountainous area with green grassland beside it. Not sure which territory it is in. The monsters we faced were goblins, orcs, and electric zebras. My NPC has been injured from falling on the mountain, luckily she is okay with about 30% of her HP left. However, we have no way of healing, and I'm not sure what will happen while we are trapped on the mountain.
The shaking has stopped a little before sunset, but we haven't been able to move around and are currently stuck in a small cave that outlooks the grassland.
If there are any players nearby, please ssage on this forum and I will request a chatroom to discuss the details.
Thank you, ArchWizardo ]
"Isn't that near where you are?" - Rebecca
"It's not just near it, it is exactly at the sa place. The problem is I don't know whereabouts she is since the mountain range is extrely long. I also don't know how much the battle affected the surroundings." - Ian
"At least ssage them and see what you can do. Maybe she will join your village." - Rebecca
"Of course, maybe they can help as well." - Ian
[ Hello there, ArchWizardo, I am currently situated near the area you have described as I also experienced the sa phenona as you have. Please suggest a chatroom to discuss further details, as it would be more private. ] - Ian
"Okay, just need to wait for-. Oh, they just made a chatroom." - Ian
[ArchWizardo invites you to a private chatroom. Accept/Decline]
[Accept]
[Ian Enters]
[ Hello, Ian. I am ArchWizardo, I didn't expect soone in the top 10 to see my post as well as to be in the sa area as I am. ] - ArchWizardo
[ As you know, I am in a cave that is overlooking the green grassland. How far away do you think you are? ] - ArchWizardo
[ Well, it would depend a lot on where you are. I was at the epicenter of the earthquake… I also witness what caused the heatwave and kind of died to it hahaha. ] - Ian
[ Huh? Wait, WHAT? ] - ArchWizardo
[ Yeah, umm not much to it, just so big monsters fighting each other, and I happen to be nearby. ] - Ian
[ Well, I don't think I was too far away? How do I know if I'm close?] - ArchWizardo
"Hmm, do I reveal information about the Himl Festung?" - Ian
"The floating fortress?" - Rebecca
"Yeah. That would be the easiest way to find out how far away they is." - Ian
[ I did see sothing in the sky and if you say that you were near the place where there was a lot of commotion, I'm assuming you were near the floating mountain?] - ArchWizardo
"Well, there is your answer." - Rebecca
[ Yes, I was at the location of the floating mountain. How far away do you think you are from there?] - Ian
[ The mountain appeared slightly away from , but I don't think it was too far. I can move in that direction with my NPC friend.] - ArchWizardo
[ Is the grassland on your right or left? When you go in the direction of the floating mountain?] - Ian
[ The grassland would be on my left. ] - ArchWizardo
[ Okay, once I'm in the ga and I make sure all my NPCs are okay, I'll move in your direction, but keeping the grassland on my right. We should et up eventually. Although, I advise you to not move too much since you said that your NPC is hurt.] - Ian
[ If I don't move, how would you find ? ] - ArchWizardo
[ Stay in the cave and once you notice people coming close, co out. It will be and my NPCs. ] - Ian
[ Alright. Thank you so much, Ian!. ] - ArchWizardo
[ No worries. I can assu you will be helping out for a while as well, since you are a Traveler.] - Ian
[ Of course. I've been wondering about trying to find a place to help my NPC friend settle down. I don't think she is capable of doing long journeys. ] - ArchWizardo
[ I see, I ask that you will tell more about what has happened to you previously when we et up instead of over the chatroom. Is that okay?] - Ian
[ Yes, I'll see you soon then. ] - ArchWizardo
[ArchWizardo Exits]

I let out a short breath as I turned toward Rebecca. She had long since straightened her back and was leaning on my chair as she watched talk to ArchWizardo.
"Well, now you are going to et a new player." - Rebecca
"Yeah, hopefully, they can stay with and help my village grow into a city." - Ian
"It will be a long ti before I can even reach you. Where I am in the South is probably too far away from you." - Rebecca
"It's fine, Evan has been walking towards for a month now I think, and he is still nowhere near, or at least that is what we think. Since we don't have a map in the ga, we can only go off landmarks and bios." - Ian
"It would be good to play with other people rather than by myself." - Rebecca
I smile at Rebecca as I look at her pouting face.
"Eventually, we will be together in the ga world as well." - Ian
"Yeah, it's just a matter of ti." - Rebecca
Rebecca walks away, pulling the towel off and relaxing on the couch. We both wait and relax, talking to each other as we wait for midnight. Once it was, I let Rebecca set up her VR helt in my bed while I got a separate mattress and set it up next to the bed. I said goodnight to her and have fun before putting on the helt and diving into the ga world.
