《This world is strange》Chapter 79. Party Part 2/2
Advertisement
As they reached the bottom of the stairs a some of the people from the tables walked up to them. They were from the same race as Roland and seemed like they were his relatives. After a while they all walked around and welcomed everyone personally.
Meanwhile Joseph and Catherine were talking with eachother until Roland met with them.
"So you have come! Welcome my friends! It is an honor that you have come to my humble party!"
Joseph didn't know what to think of it, because he did not saw this humble. But Catherine held out her hand which Roland kissed gently.
"It is our honor Roland! The party looks quiet fabulous."
"Thank you! It is the merit of the staff working here. They are the best you can find around here!"
As Joseph looked around he saw a few people doing background works, like watching out for any troubles, changing empty plates and other necessities.
Roland reached out and pulled his son in front of him from behind.
"I belive you haven't met my son Ronald! Ronald this is Catherine and Joseph. They are the ones that helped us with the cript I was talking about."
The boy held his right hand to his hearth and made a small bow.
"It is nice to meet you. My father told me about what you have done for our family. Thank you!"
Joseph was in embarrased.
"It was a job. We got paid for it, so it is not like you should be that grateful!"
"I wouldn't say that."
Rena reached for his husband's shoulder.
"Darling! Your grandfather wants to speak to you about something."
"I see. I'll be going then."
He turned to Catherine and Joseph.
"I'll see you later."

"Yes."
They walked away. Joseph looked at Catherine who was smiling under the mask and made a comment on them.
"They definetly wants something from us."
"I hade the same thought."
After ten more minutes the music changed and people started dancing. Joseph asked Catherine for a dance and they joined in for the first round.
It was hard for Joseph to keep up with the music, because the dance was slightly different than the ones he knew. Also Catherine moved very rigid. It took him a few minutes to get used to it and she also started to move better with time, but they still stood out from the dancing group.
After the first round they sit out from dancing and watched the head of the phoenix family dance with his wife. They looked like professional dancers, who always practice for this kind of events.
After the second round they also stepped down from the dancing. Joseph looked at the other two person from the family. Ronald was speaking with some other people. They looked like they were his friends.
Their daughter was talking with other girls of her age.
As Joseph looked back at Catherine, Roland was right next to him. He almost jumped back from the supprise.
"Excuse me if I frightened you. It seems like you were lost in thoughts."
"No problem. I was indeed!"
They both laughed and then Roland turned to Catherine, bowed and held out his hand.
"Would you like to join me for the next round?"
Catherine seemed a little bit nervous.
"Yes?"
They walked to the middle of the room. Meanwhile Joseph saw Rena on the side watching other people.
'Might as well...'
He walked up to her and copied the move Roland did to Catherine.

"Can I ask the lady of the house for a dance?"
She smiled at him.
"You can."
Her voice was soft and pleasant. It seemed like she just stepped out of a fairy tale. They also walked to the middle of the room and started dancing next to the other two.
As the two pair was dancing, it seemed like the whole room stopped and started to watch them. The four of them stuck out of the dancers. The yellow and black flowers in the middle of the dance floor caught everyon's eyes.
After the round was done they all walked back to the place where Joseph and Catherine was standing formally, then just as Roland started to speak Jordan walked up and whispered into his ear.
"Are you sure about it Jordan?!"
"Yes sir. Please follow me!"
"Joseph, Catherine please come with me!"
Rena also followed them as they walked out through the main door.

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
