I stand up and stretch my arms. Suddenly my surroundings beco red. I'm blinking my eyes and rubbing them. Avriel is looking at with confusion. A screen suddenly appears in front of .

[WE HAVE REQUESTED AN ERGENCY SERVICE NEAR YOUR AREA]
[ESTIMATED TI ARRIVAL: 5 MINUTES]
I open my eyes and it's nightti. I remove the helt and I don't feel anything different. I slowly stand up from the pod and check Emma's pod, but she's not in there, so I guess she's in the living room or her bedroom.
The system requested an ergency service for what?
As soon as I get out from the pod and step my foot on the floor, my vision is getting blurry and a massive headache appears like sothing just hit the back of my head so hard. I fall to the floor and I can faintly hear Emma's voice.
"Trevor?!... Hey!... What happ..."
I'm slowly opening my eyes, but what I see is just the whole room is spinning and my head feels like it's getting hamred. I imdiately close my eyes, and now I feel like I'm floating and spinning. The light is making dizzy even though I'm closing my eyes. I groan in pain, lift my hand, and hope Emma is here in my bedroom because I want her to turn off the d*mn lamp.
I hear a woman's voice coming towards , but it's not Emma's voice and a male voice. I don't know who they are, but they suddenly turn off the light, grab my head and turn my body. Then they roll to the other sides. The headache is slowly fading away. They're carefully moving my body and it feels good. A woman's voice is coming from my right.
"Are you feeling better?"
I groan and nod weakly. Then they keep doing it for quite a while. The lady's hands sll nice, it makes my headache disappear.
"You can open your eyes now."
I open my eyes and it surprised that they are nurses. What surprised the most is that the hands that sll nice are actually the hands of the male nurse. I look at him with disbelief and want to ask him what kind of perfu or lotion is he using, but then I realize it sounds like I'm trying to hit him, so I'm not going to ask him that.
I'm squinting my eyes to look at the ti, it's 11 p.m. and I feel relieved since I fell unconscious only a few hours. I furrow my forehead while looking at them.
"Where am I?"
The female nurse is looking at the IV bag.
"You are in the hospital. An ergency request ca from your pod and the hospital sent an ambulance to your house and brought you here last night."
Ah, so the system really requested an ergency service for . Wait, last night...? So I've been here for more than 28 hours. I rembered when I logged out, the ti was 7 p.m. If that's the case, I lost 28 days of in-ga ti. The last ti I checked the quest countdown is around 74 days. So I still have 46 days.
I try to sit down but my head won't move. It's like my head doesn't want to get up. The male nurse gently pushes down.
"You need to rest... Your condition is still unstable."
I'm rubbing my head and look at the male nurse.
"When can I go ho?"
The female nurse smiles and looks at .
"Tomorrow morning if your condition is getting better tonight. But, if your blood pressure is still low, you will have to stay here for another night."
I nod with understanding.
"I see, thank you."
The female nurse smiles.
I asked them about what happened to and turned out I was having vertigo because of my low blood pressure and blood sugar. Because I played excessively and letting my brain worked too hard. So basically I need to rest.
The nurses are done checking my condition. The female nurse is pointing at the button that is hanging on the wall.
"If you are having nausea or a headache again, or anything you need from us, you can press that button. Get so rest, and have a good night."
I thanked them and then they left.
I look around to check how many patients in this room and there's no tv in here. I'm adjusting the bed so I can lean on it. It's boring in here. Then I check the desk beside . My phone is there and I imdiately grab it.
Emma ssaged . She told to ssage her when I woke up. I sent her a ssage and in just a second after I sent her the ssage, she called .
"Are you okay? How's your head?"
"I'm fine now."
"Trev, you shouldn't be playing for too long. Look at you now."
"Yeah, I never thought that it would be this bad. Oh, by the way, what am I missing today?"
"Oh! You should check the news! I'll send you the video link you now."
My phone vibrates and I put Emma on a loudspeaker. I click the link that Emma sent . The title of this video is [Kingstar's first appearance on TV].
A gold-haired lady is sitting in front of a tall brown-haired guy. They both are speaking in Germany so I click the subtitles that are provided by the video.
The lady is looking at Kingstar.
"Mister Schneider, we heard about the announcent from the Voice of the World that you and the players from the Aarus Empire's faction failed to retrieve the item that was stolen. What is your statent about it?"
Schneider is resting his elbows on his knees and is clasping his hands in front of his face.
"We don't know who he is and have no clue about him either. We were warned by Seven Diamond and Lothair Ers, but it was too late for us to prepare. On the night the item got transferred to the Alenbeliard Fortress, he already stole it."
The lady nods and looks at her tablet.
"Is it true, that he was alone?"
Schneider sighs and nods.
"He was, but he was equipped with so kind of equipnt that we all have never seen. We believe that the equipnt that he used are legendary items."
They continued the interview about the incident for quite a while. It seed that Kingstar admitted his defeat. Well, even if he has toxic behavior, he admitted his loss and apologized for it. That's what a leader should do and I respected him for that.
The lady then claps her hands.
"Oh, speaking of legendary items. Are you going to join the auction in the Alliance Kingdoms?"
Schneider nods.
"Yes, Queenstar and I will be there for the auction. We have prepared for the auction. It looks like there will be so many competitors in the auction. I heard there will be celebrities and businessn that are ready to spend millions of dollars for this."
The lady is shocked. Schneider nods and lifts his hand.
"Actually, we are currently in the Alliance Kingdoms territory. The reason why we want to go to the Alliance Kingdoms is..."
Schneider looks at the cara.
"If you are watching. We, the three factions agreed to protect the last item that you are looking for and we will be waiting for you there. You won't be able to steal from us this ti."
The lady's mouth is wide open.
The interview ends not long after that. Emma is humming in the background.
"Umm, Trev."
"Hmm?"
"Ivonna asked to tell you this. She said that she wanted to et you when you're back. She will be waiting at our base. She has sothing to say to you."
"I see... Do you know what does she wants from ?"
"I think I know. You're going to steal sothing from us this ti, right?"
I'm not replying to her question. Emma sighs.
"Are you sure you want to do this, Trev? Ivonna has been quiet lately. I think she's worried and has been thinking about this, you know?"
"I see. I will talk to her when I'm back."
Emma is humming with understanding.
"Anyway, call when you're discharged from the hospital. I will pick you up."
"Okay, thanks, Em."
"No worries. I'll go to sleep now. Good night, Trev."
"Good night."
Emma hung up the phone.
I look at the forum on my phone. So many people were disappointed at Kingstar, not just him, but towards Seven Diamond and Lothair Ers as well. They were all complaining about it. So are defending them and so are blindly blaming them. Now, all eyes are on Ivonna. So of them are threatening her for sothing she hasn't done. I shake my head with disbelief.
"Complaining even though it is also their responsibility as a player."
I sigh and rub my head. I put down my phone and readjust the bed. I lay down and staring at the ceiling,
"Ivonna wants to see , huh? What the hell am I suppose to tell her?"
I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
