"Finally here," Zylus whispered as he began taking out his key card from his pocket.
After that short travel and that brief fight, he finally arrived at his dorm. Zylus now stood right in front of his door, tapping his key card onto the doorknob.
"User Identified!" The doorknob yelled out, "Welco, Zylus Elwis!"
Click!
The door unlocked as Zylus pushed it open. He took his shoes off as he went to the freezer to take a bottle of water.
"There it is," He said, taking a large gulp.
But then, he realised sothing was up...
"Jace isn’t here this ti, wonder where he is." Zylus wondered as he began walking towards the shower. "For now, I should clean myself up."
Once he entered, he turned the handle towards the red sticker, which was labelled as ’Hot.’
"Ahh, that feels better," He said as the heat poured onto his body. "Ti for so shampoo, and yep, that’s it."
Zylus stepped out of the pouring water from above as he poured the shampoo onto his body, closely washing every bit of it. After doing so, he entered the water once more, completely rinsing his soaked self.
"What was that though?" Zylus put his back against the shower’s glass door, and the water still poured onto his abs. "Who could that have been? His aura was overwhelming."
He still pondered on that thought, "The warmth of this water is never gonna make wanna leave." Zylus whispered.
"The problem is, only soone close to would know where I was headed, because I never once sensed those three chasing ." He said, "But at the sa ti, it’s possible they used a systemic device." Zylus began to turn off the shower.
As he did so, he took a towel from the tal hanger and started tying it around his body, as he went to the sink and took a toothbrush.
For now, I shouldn’t think more about that, because we have a quest coming up soon either way.
The toothbrush continued to sink into his teeth as he turned the tap water off. Afterwards, he put the toothbrush down, washing it and his teeth with it. He did one more swipe around his body and his hair with the white towel before neatly hanging it back onto the bar.
"Fuck!" A thought just crossed his mind, "Oh nevermind, I can just text them." He said.
The problem was that he had been so focused on the quest that he forgot to acknowledge that he must notify them before accepting it. Because when he decides to accept the quest, they’ll all be teleported towards a designated location.
So instead of continuing to sulk on that matter, he thought that texting them would be the trick. Since system ssages kind of act like phones in this realm, all he needed to do was give them a ssage and wait for a response.
"It’s not like I needa input a number or anything, just their na." Zylus said, as he now sat on the couch looking at his system, "Kind of like an email, without the ’@gmail thing."

"Is that a new feature?" Zylus said, "Never seen a notification like that pop up before."

[ssage: Hello all from Misfit Cadets, wondering when you guys will be prepared to go out on that mission. I’m thinking tomorrow at 5:00 PM]
[Sending...]
[Sent!]
"Ahh, now it’s ti to wait for a response," Zylus whispered as he put his back towards the backboard of the couch, "But what should I even do now? I have enough stockpiled quests that can last for weeks, I can’t cook, and, wait..." Zylus paused as he began to look at his system.
"Here it is," He whispered, "The forced dungeon quest I have to go on..."
[Quest: Defeat A C-Rank Dungeon]
[Quest Due: Within 6 Days From Now]
[Approximate Ti To Complete: 2 Days]
[Accept?]
As soon as Zylus was about to accept, he decided to tab out.
"It’s not worth it," Zylus decided, "I have to rest up just in case they agree for tomorrow."
[ssage Error]
"What?"
[User Michael Elric not found]
[ssage has been successfully sent to the others]
"Oh yeah, forgot Michael doesn’t have a system," Zylus rembered, "Ahh, it’s fine, he should be ready by five, there’s nothing better to do. Plus, if he cos in naked, I’ll bring him extra clothes just in case, yeah, he should be fine." Zylus said out loud to himself.
After a while of this continuous back-and-forth chatter, the sun finally began to set, but Jace wasn’t there.
He’s probably out doing more objectives
Zylus stood up as he stepped toward the fridge, hoping there was sothing prepared for him.
"Frozen ran?" He saw a packet inside their freezer, "Didn’t know they had that." He said.
He then placed the frozen ran into a pot he had prepared on the stove, simring in boiling water, as a sizzle erupted. He took a spatula and began turning it in circles.
[Notifications!]
[New Text ssages!]
Zylus looked, "Oh, already? That’s perfect." He said as he opened the tab to check.
[From: Emilia Scorce: Sure]
[From: Zenos zino: Yessir!]
[From: Frey Fross: My cara should be ready by then]
"And of course, Michael doesn’t have a system. But this should be good." Zylus said as he ripped a seasoning package from inside the wrapper, throwing it into the garbage right after.
"Now, let’s try this." Zylus took a fork to taste test the simred ran.
Munch.
He was delighted with the taste, but was already used to it, so it didn’t change his opinion much.
"These beautiful frozen quick als never change, Zylus smirked, "But I gotta watch out, can’t let this six pack go to waste now, can I," he said as he twisted the round oven heater to ’off.’
