Jake and Maria leveled up.
While Jake's level was now thirty-three, Maria was much closer to level forty! She was only two levels short of her adventure's goal.
She didn't think anything eventful would happen during their adventure.
In fact, Maria couldn't tell whether they would reach The Oath Kingdom today.
Players usually took carriages to new lands and cities and activated respawn points there.
After that, they would pick up quests related to new level grounds and level up here while gathering resources and doing said quests—two birds with a one stone thod.
In Jake's case, it was different.
He t with Maria in Asta Bow's capital before taking her onto the thoroughfare leading to The Oath Kingdom's border. On their way there, they hunted and interacted with the chat.
Although nothing exciting really happened during Jake's stream, Maria was such a great guest that the stream scored high in viewership, subscriptions, and donations.
Hunting along with Jake and his pets was also a new, thrilling experience.
Maria enjoyed it from the bottom of her heart, mainly because she didn't have anyone looking after her, feeling a sense of danger for the first ti. Jake's chat could see his companions in a new light as they worked with his archery to take down enemies.
Jake also acted like a clown.
To awaken the slumbering Vision within him, he spoke Odin's language. Not like he barked.
Instead, he ran on his four whenever a need to switch positions alard him. Contrary to his usual visual imagination, he also unrolled his trajectories with his sll sense.
Maria knew that Jake followed her advice, but that didn't stop her from laughing at Jake. And if such an angel could laugh at him, so could the chat.
Or rather, Maria's giggles were a pass for the chat to not hold back with their cobacks.
"Let's take a break," Jake said, "And it's also the end of today's stream. Thanks for coming in, guys. Good luck with your endeavors in the ga! I can't wait to hear more from you tomorrow!"
With that said, Jake turned off the stream.
He and Maria were also on the thoroughfare back again. He told her not to log out there but to move for at least a mile so that his viewers wouldn't find them here upon logging back into the ga.
The break Jake ant was the respite their ntal and real bodies needed.
Jake often had to piss, shower, and eat. The first two concerns were always dealt with at the sa ti during the shower, while the latter depended on the day.
For instance, if Jake's mom were ho, she would prepare a al for her son.
Jake would make sothing himself or casually order from the closest restaurant if no one were at ho. The latter saved ti and allowed Jake to rest after the bath, so he often opted for it. Not like he couldn't afford such conveniences nowadays.
"How long do you need to rest?" Jake asked as he strolled with Maria. His pets and the chat were gone, so it was two of them, causing Jake to speak less formally.
Maria said with a faint smile, "An hour. It takes toil to use Vision all the ti."
"Sure," Jake replied. "I think we should reach the border of The Oath Kingdom soon enough. We're players, so they will let us in without fuss."
Maria smiled, "Yes! I also learned a lot about The Oath Kingdom! Of course, no spoilers! I'll clue you in about things as we encounter them! Hehe!"
"Love that," Jake curved his lips. "See you soon!"
"Bye bye!" Maria waved at Jake as her body started turning into particles.
Jake logged out as well.

Jake followed the routine on an autopilot.
He usually needed less than an hour, so he'd decided to order more food this ti. He'd ssage redith to see whether she had watched his stream.
He also would look at stats, comnts and other stuff related to his stream since an hour felt like such a long ti.
"Let's see," Jake popped a few tabs, each related to his social dia account. He first wrote a short ssage to his girlfriend, then looked into his stream stats and comnts.
"Great numbers!" Jake clenched his hands. "Seems like inviting a unique persona to the stream is really the way. We just leveled up and enjoyed the casual ti, yet the stats prove how good the stream was. It seems that many viewers like the various combinations of archery and other classes."
Jake hadn't expected how addictive looking into stats could be.
Though those were only numbers and words, the feeling caused by his stream's growth excited Jake so much that he had already started thinking of the next guests.
It was best to plan ahead.
It wasn't like he'd forgotten about Maria. Now that their stream was over, Jake and Maria didn't have to worry about their image or words. They could play the ga with less burden.
Jake's phone buzzed.
"Oh, a call?" Jake picked up his phone. "I thought you would reply tomorrow. Isn't it like two am for you?"
redith's sleepy voice was like a note to Jake's ears. "I'm free tomorrow… and we have a sleepover."
"A sleepover?" Jake repeated. "Sounds fun."
He never had a sleepover.
Getting Jake for online gas or out of the house for fun had been a challenge, so a sleepover was like sothing otherworldly for him.
redith agreed with a soft moan, causing Jake to look down and rear his ear to the phone. Not like he could bring it closer, but he still tried.
"It'll be fun," she followed after a sleepy reaction that wasn't a part of her plan. "I think Loe Loe and Rae won't let sleep, though. They will grill about you… and compare us to themselves and their boyfriends. Loe Loe's boyfriend took her abroad two months ago. Rae's boyfriend owns three houses, and they live together in one of them."
Jake clenched his phone.
"Yeah… I see," he said through his teeth.
