Back in-ga
After the depressing Lunch, Luke and Leo headed back towards their apartnt since they had been given the rest of the day off.
Since most other sector E netizens rushed back to work, having now found so hope to escape this hell-hole if their evaluation was high enough, the communal facilities such as the common bath and laundry were relatively empty which presented the brothers with a rare opportunity to clean up and wash their clothes without having to wait in long queues.
Before heading back to the apartnt, the brothers bathed and placed their clothes in laundry which was relatively advanced and quickly returned their clothes after washing and completely drying them in under 45 seconds.
Cleaned, fed and provided with hope, the brothers were full of motivation to log back into the ga and improve their chances to escape sector E with the additional ti that they had been provided.
” Leo, I will try my best to advance within the ga by levelling up and maybe even unlocking my class.
Although as of now I have no idea how to achieve either, I’ll definitely try my best.
I’m not ascending from this place without you though, so either we both make it, or we both don’t” Luke said as he gave Leo an intense stare in the eye.
Leo could see in his brothers eyes as to how serious he was and today he was as serious as he was when their mother sold her kidney to send them on this ship.
The fact that Luke was not going to ascend out of this place alone was sweet but also slightly worrying for Leo, since it wasn’t his promotion that he was worried about but rather Luke’s that gave him a scare.
He was already pretty advanced within the ga and could easily ascend to Sector D based on his in-ga results, however, since he could not disclose them with Luke he just nodded his head and said ” I’ll make the cut, you worry about yourself “.
Luke let out a deep sigh before ntally hyping himself up and picking up his gaming helt.
” By the way, what beach are you on? I’m on Candolim beach-” Luke said as Leo raised an eyebrow and replied ” Beach? I’m on a mountain-”
It was at this mont that the brothers realised that of all the things the two discussed they never put enough importance behind discussing the in-ga events since uptil now they were treating it just as a past-ti.
The ga Terra Nova was important in more ways than one and Luke and Leo were realising it slowly.
The ga was a source to earn the only acceptable currency on the arc ship called MP which could be used to spend on luxury.
The ga also decided one’s place within society and for Leo it also held keys to his life and death.
The ga deserved to be treated like an important aspect of one’s life and the brothers realising it early was a good thing.
Once the disparities about their starting location erged, the two sat down and began talking about their experiences after logging in and while Luke answered everything honestly, Leo made up a bit of false lies mixed with the truth to convey information to Luke without compromising his identity.
He told Luke about where to find the global chat button about how one could not log out of dungeons and how the prices for lodging and food were within the ga in the area where he spawned.
On the other hand Luke told him about the beach town of Candolim where he had spawned and how it was called ‘City Of Knights’ since many legendary NPC had been residents of that town before becoming famous.
Luke told Leo about how there was a skill scroll shop within his town that sold skill scrolls and how it was priced at 10 gold coins which the average player just did not have.
His short term goal was to gather the money to buy it and then use it to level up against the monsters located nearby.
Leo approved of the plan and told him that the best way to earn money would probably be to get a quest which would be easier if he found an adventurer association in his town.
After this discussion, both brothers logged back into Terra Nova Online, with about 18 hours of gaming ti to spare until their next shift.
**********
( Silverpine Village, Leo’s POV )
[ System Notification – Welco back player ‘The Boss’, You have no new ssages ]
A system notification welcod Leo back into the ga and it inford him that he had no new ssages.
He found himself still at the tavern room that he logged out of with the only change in his stat panel being the fact that his stamina had sohow recovered to full in the ti where he was not playing.
This was a much welco change as Leo felt his in-ga avatar rested and refreshed which was a different feel to how he felt ragged and tired while logging out.
As he went back out of the tavern after borrowing a new coat he was surprised to see many players still walking around the entertainnt district although it was working hours.
Uptil now, Leo had no idea that while sector E players were forced to work 9 hour shifts a day, players from Sector C and upwards had significantly less working hours.
Sector C players depending on their job only worked 5 to 9 hours a day, while sector B and upwards only 2 mandatory hours.
This gave the players from higher sectors more ti to spend within the ga which gave them more opportunity to level up and improve within the ga compared to lower sector players.
Although at the start of the ga the difference wasn’t evident, with ti passing it was bound to be more and more noticeable.
This first promotion was important because it was going to be the only ti when the playing field would still be almost on level terms, however, co a year later and the difference would be enormous.
