Chapter 3: Serene

Ah! An explosion! What is that!? I quickly turned to look who did that and I saw a splattered Slime, It lowered my HP to 45! I quickly turned my back to look who was it and saw a splattered slime... hmm I quickly ran into the slime with a killing intent and slashed it!

-40

I was shocked my damage became bigger.. So the Game Have delays huh? I turned my back again and quickly turned to see who caused the explosion.. I the slime became bigger and Explode to my face

Boom!!

-10 Critical!

Aw, that explosion blinded my sight for 3 seconds so it’s the slime caused the explosion, I figured that the slime doesn’t attack but it explodes, What I did is hit another slime near me and I ran away and turned and I saw the explosion.

Boom!

No damage dealt? So I repeated killing slimes for almost 3 hours and finally.

Ding! “Level Up 3 SP Acquired”

My HP became full and I opened the Stat Point Panel and tapped the Agi stat

[Breaza] (Normal Player) 0 Sp

Class: Thief

Level: 2

Attack: 39+10

Defense: 0

HP: 0+50

ASPD: 3

Not bad… my attack increased by 3 and I checked my money and saw 3 silvers, Farming money in this game is hard even Leveling in this game is rough, I checked my bag and I saw a HP potion (small)

[Hp Potion] (Small)

Recovers 20 Hp

I continued searching and saw a Beginner Card…. What is this? I tapped it and a Message Popped out.

“Double Experience rate for one day”

So I have this card the whole time without noticing it? Uhh! And again I killed some slimes… This is boring jeez suddenly an envelope Popped Up into my face. Whoaa what’s this?

Ding! “1 unread mail”

I opened the envelope and checked the message.

“Hey Ace, let’s eat I’m hungry already”

Ohh, Andrea my noisy younger sister well I need to log out, I dashed away into the forest and entered the city and found a perfect spot to log out and i sat down near the fountain and logged out.

“Logging Out”

Ding!

So it’s the real world huh, I removed the helmet and saw my younger sister staring at me her face turned into red and walked out into the room, I checked the time 10:30 PM oh, It’s already late I walked and entered our dining area, I noticed mama isn’t here.

“Where’s mama andrea?”

She gave me a cold stare and smirked

“Mama is sleeping”

Now that’s strange, ah! Never mind.

“Andrea, do you know how to cook?”

She stared at me with an Anguish face, Geez she is scary

“No I don’t!! Cook for me hurry I’m hungry!!!”

I replied with a nervous voice

“I… I don’t know how to cook”

She locked her arms and turned her back against me

“Well do something about it!!”

I still have 2$ left I smiled and said

“Wait here, I’ll buy some food for us”

I walked away and looked for a Convenience store… I saw a shop nearby the Video Game shop I quickly entered and see what food we can get. I saw some ready to eat can food and searched for the price. Perfect! It’s just 1$. I quickly purchase two can goods and ran back home.

…..

I opened the door “I’m home andrea!!!” and closed the door.

The house remained silent I walked and saw andrea sleeping, so she fell asleep already? I woke her up and smiled

“Let’s eat andrea”

I grabbed the can opener and open the can foods, while eating

“Hey ace? How’s school?”

I bow down my head and said

“It’s great! School is great!

She smiled and said

“Keep it up ace” She stood up

“I need to sleep already, Thanks ace.” She walked into her room and closed the door.

So my younger sister still have a soft side after all, I smiled and walked into my room. I alarmed the clock and grabbed the gaming helmet and kissed it.

“Iloveyou Nova” then i sat on a lazy chair in front of the computer. I lean down into the lazy chair and fell asleep.

…..

Ring! Ring.

The alarm clock woke me up this time huh, well that’s new… I stood up and walked to check Mom, Well mom is still as sleep, I walked back to my room and fixed myself… Alright I’m ready to go! I walked near the door and saw andrea.

“Hey! Witch I’ll go now Lock the door okay?”

Her face became red and yelled at me.

“Who? Me?! Ha! Have a life my lazy brother, you’re already 16 and still don’t have a girlfriend?” She laughed endlessly

Ouch! Those words broke my heart, I opened the door and walked through it and yelled.

“You’re Uglier than me witch!” After shouting I quickly ran away from home to avoid hearing the loud voice of andrea for sure another heart breaking words will come out of her mouth. Meanwhile I’m on my way to school and I saw arceli in a Coffee Shop and approached her.

“Hey!” I patted her arms and she turned her back to look.

Her face was excited then but we she saw me her face became Emotionless. What’s wrong with this girl?

“Why are you here?” She asked

“I should be the one asking, why are you here?”

“Classes are suspended ace, you didn’t watch the news?”

Well I’m playing nova the whole time, so classes are suspended huh,

“Hey arceli who are you talking with?” A lovely voice of a girl came out of nowhere.

Then I looked behind arceli and a beautiful lady approached her, she was so beautiful she out classed arceli, her overall score is a Perfect 10! Ahhhh This girl is hot!

“Is he your boyfriend? Well He’s kinda cute”

I was shocked when she said that I’m cute! This is the first time a girl complimented me! I’m relieved.

“No!” Arceli shouted.

“Haha okay if you say so.”

Arceli gave me a bad stare, I continued staring at the girl and suddenly she offered her right hand to shake hands

“Hi! I’m serene and you’re?”

I was tensed and i felt the excitement flowing all over my body. I quickly replied and I grabbed her right hand, it’s so soft like a feather. The way I’m holding her hand makes me feel wonderful.

“Ace, My name is ace” While shaking hands and staring at her at the same time arceli grabbed my right arm and pulled me away from serene. She murmured

“Ace, Stay away from my friend okay? I’ll keep an eye on you”

She turned around and smiled at serene, what’s wrong with this girl?

“Hey Ace wanna join us?” Serene offered.

“Sure”

Arceli’s face became red and stared at me, I quickly remove my sight from arceli and stared at serene.

“Serene, how old are you?”

Serene replied calmly and smiled

“16 ace”

“Ehem!”

We stared at arceli and suddenly her mouth opened slowly and words came out while staring at me with killing intent.

“So Ace, how’s the game?” I replied calmly

“The game is great! In fact I reached level 2 already!!” Her angry face turn into a happy one and she laugh

“You’re still level one?!! My brother is already at level 8”

Level 8? Hmm like the fire mage huh? I wonder what’s arceli’s character name in the game, I was about to ask her but my mind stopped me, I won’t ask her yet I will surprise them when I’m already strong! Yeaa. Arceli asked me

“What monster are you killing ace?”

“Slime” Arceli laughed hard and I remained silent.

“…..”

Serene patted my arms: “You should go and kill baby snakes ace!”

Arceli’s laughter suddenly changed into anger, she stared at me again… Baby snakes? Hmmm I’ll go check them later. I asked serene.

“Do you play NOVA too serene?” She replied with a wide smile

“Yes I do”

Arceli suddenly spoke and stood up

“Serene, let’s go” serene remained sitting and asked.

“Why?”

“Because it’s late already”

Late? I checked the time it’s just 9:30 Am, I stood up and said.

“Ladies I must go, I will play nova”

Arceli stared at me and changed her mind

“Serene Dad texted me, He said I can have all day bonding with you so that means we’re not leaving”

What’s wrong with this girl, i raised my hand and waved it left to right while walking

“See you guys!”

Serene Stood up and waved her hand

“Take care Ace!”

Arceli’s face became red and didn’t stand up, she remained silent and she slowly looked down.

I opened the coffee shop’s door and step outside and closed it gently, I walked with a Wide Smile….. While walking down street the smell in the air suddenly changed quickly I turned my back and asked.

“Who’s in there?”

But no luck no one came out, I felt the urge and i know someone is following me, but who was it? I suddenly stopped and turned my head to see. Still no one’s in there… This must be my imagination.

…..

I opened our house door and yelled

“I’m home!!”

To be continued…..
