[Avatar ’Reckless Storm’ has logged into Warstar!]
Late that night, while the others were already sleeping, Aria stood up and secretly accessed one of the Warstar consoles, logging into the ga.
During the tour in the evening, she took it on herself to take a few pictures, including a video or two all for this mont.
Logging into the ga, she t up with Noah.
There, she told him about all that happened, describing Club Echelon’s state of the art building to him. And then she sent him the pictures and videos as a file, sothing that Noah could still view even in this state.
At the end, Noah comnted. "Nightingale went all out".
"Yeah". Aria nodded.
He chuckled. "Looks like we really made it.
Aria hesitated for a mont, and then she said it. "He asked about you again".
Noah looked at her. "What did he say?"
Aria took a deep breath and repeated everything that Nightingale said.
Noah took a deep breath. "Tell him that I’ll personally tell him the true after I’m at level 60 and complete the Heavenly Domain challenge".
Aria frowned. "Is there any significance to telling him at level 60?"
"No," Noah smiled. "I just feel like telling him then".
Aria shook her head. "You’re still as carefree as ever, huh?" She sighed. "Only you will still have the will to play gas so casually and enthusiastically in a situation like this".
"At this point, I think we should have made a few inferences about your unusual condition already".
"I don’t believe in that reincarnation sh*t".
"You didn’t reincarnate into the ga; this is just so unknown technology in play though we don’t yet understand how it works".
"If I’m not wrong, this feels closer to you being kidnapped and yet here you are, playing the ga as if nothing happened".
"What should I do? Cry?" Noah chuckled. "There’s no use worrying over what I can’t change".
"I can only do what I can now, then try to look out for clues".
"When I find one, be rest assured that I’ll be the first person to want to get to the bottom and truth of my condition, whether I’m truly a reincarnated Avatar or not, or if this is just so prank".
Noah leaned against a wall, looking into the distance. "About our Skill Points Seeking Quest, do you have any idea?"
"Nah," Aria shook her head. "Any idea?"
Noah chuckled. "I’m stuck in the ga, so there’s nothing for to do apart from playing gas. It’s ironic but I actually like it. So yes, I have a few ideas".
"I did thorough research and found so interesting quests".
"The first is called the trial of the Forgotten Kings, it’s a solo dungeon challenge". He looked at Aria. "Apparently, each team mber must face off against the spirits of ancient Kings who ruled over the Heavenly Domain before the age of gods".
"Each King specializes in a unique combat style, forcing payers to adapt and counter different techniques".
"The reward is on the lower side. 3 skill points for completing the trial, and 1 bonus skill point if the player defeats all Kings without using healing items".
Noah looked at Aria. "What do you think?"
She shrugged. "Beggars are not choosers".
"Fair point". Noah chuckled. "Another one is called the Song of the Eternal Siren, a puzzle plus combat hybrid quest type".
"Unlike the first one that is solo, it’s a team quest".
"The description says a cursed lody lingers in the ruins of an ancient cathedral, driving all who hear it to madness. To break the curse, the team must battle waves of enemies while deciphering the forgotten notes of an ancient hymn to restore harmony".
"The reward is 4 skill points for each player for solving the puzzle and defeating the Siren Queen".
Noah looked at Aria.
She shrugged again. "Continue".
Noah did just that. "Another one is the Chaos Gambit, another team quest that and this one is a survival battle royale".
"From the description, apparently, the team is thrown into an unpredictable battlefield where every five minutes, the rule change; gravity shifts, ti slows, random buffs/debuffs apply, and enemies beco stronger or weaker".
"The goal is to be the last ones standing".
"The reward is 5 skill points if we survive till the end, and 1 bonus skill point if no one dies during the challenge".
"There’s also the Abysswalker’s Reckoning, another solo quest type".
"The description says deep within the Shadow Abyss lies an entity trapped between mortality and godhood. The challenge? A one-on-one duel where the opponent adapts to the player’s fighting style in real ti, mirroring their techniques and countering them".
"The reward is 4 skill points and 1 bonus skill point for winning without getting hit more than five tis".
"Also there’s the Harbinger’s Paradox".
Aria looked at Noah. "It’s always unnerving to see how much your brain can carry at a ti".
Noah smirked. "Is that a complint?"
"Well, thank you, I know I’m a genius".
"Get lost!"
Laughing, Noah continued. "This one is a team quest type".
"The description says a mysterious warlord from the future has invaded, claiming he has already defeated the challenging team in every tiline. To change fate, they must defeat him within 15 minutes before ti resets".
"It’s a ti-limited boss raid".
"The reward is 6 skill points if they break the loop, and 2 bonus skill points if they finish the fight with at least one minute left on the tir".
"And then there’s also the..."
"That’s enough," Aria stopped him. "Keep them to yourself".
Noah chuckled. "Tired already?"
"Not everyone has that freakish brain of yours".
For the next few minutes, the 2 friends talked about different topics, the ga, the world, the past, the future, and then Club Echelon.
Like this, before they knew it, an hour already passed.
It was when she yawned that Aria finally rembered to check the ti. "Oops, it’s too late, I need to go sleep now".
"Ok then, goodnight".
She looked at him. "What will you be doing?"
"I’ll solo so more dungeons, get so more experience before going to the inn to sleep".
Aria hesitated a bit, then she said. "Just wait, one day, we’ll rescue you from the ga".
"I know". Noah smiled.
