I spend most of the day accompanying Rebecca, doing morning exercise, eating lunch, and even shopping for dinner. Life felt peaceful and Rebecca seems to be more cheerful especially since her skill hasn't activated once in the real world. I guess it must have just been so traumatic the first time it happened that her brain thought it was real. I was the same, I expected something to happen after the fight with King Jackalope, however, coming out of the game, I didn't feel anything that was out of the…-

"Kingston." - Ian "Yea?" - Kingston "How did you feel about those two fights we just had?" - Ian "Uhh, they were hard?" - Kingston "Not just that. I know both of us are players with our own thoughts but, please listen to me. I don't want you to get hurt either." - Ian "Ah… Yea sorry. I didn't mean to rush out. I don't know what I was thinking back then." - Kingston I place my hand on Kingston's shoulder as I see him shyly scratching his head. "It's fine. Just be careful. I don't want to act on…

"HURRY UP! SHIELDS UP!" - Ian I yell again at everyone desperately. Not knowing what was going to come out tied a knot around my heart. Negative thoughts and emotions flood my brain. What is it? Is it going to just annihilate everyone here? Strong? Weak? How is everyone going to cope with a new enemy? Stellar is going to be bringing back Solar and Celine as well, will they notice the danger? What was everyone else thinking in this situation? I gulp down my saliva and stare at the bulging skin as it…

Solar and Celine retreat upstream, since Solar was out of mana and Celine was not much of a fighter. Them being close to the battle was more dangerous for all of us. From the last skirmish with the monster, we had found out that it can break the shield spell that solar cast on us easily, meaning the damage it can cause is above 55. Only the wolves can tank a hit like that if the attack hits them directly. Furthermore, its speed surpasses ours so the only advantage we have against this monster is our…

"What's the plan then?" - Kingston "Don't rush in is the first step." - Ian "Done." - Kingston "Looking at what is happening, I think it has a berserk state much like Kingston's. It's not even jumping around and attacking us. Instead, it is just attacking whatever is near. We should attack from a distance and only confront it head-on if necessary. Archers attack from various angles and immediately run after firing an arrow. Everyone else set up position on both sides of the river. If it ever stands…

After moving into the forest, we rearranged the formation in order to perform at the best of our abilities. I had a team of 3 humans and 3 demi-humans holding onto the Scutum shields in the front as the first line of defense. In the middle were Stellar, Solar, Celine, Yor and myself with David, Frank, Kingston and a team of 5 goblins archers behind us. Spread out in front, to the sides and behind us was Gibing, Gyumi, Gopopo, Gewari as well as the 6 other goblins and the wolves, Belle, Razor, Dawn. The…

Throughout the rest of the day, everyone had things to do. Some were training, others busy building, and some making sure we have enough food and water for the journey. Since we had more time, we prepared extra food and water, all together we have 20 baskets of food and 20 bags of water. Most of the NPCs heading out will be carrying a basket of food and water each with some of the more agile and nimble NPCs being scouts. We also had more arrows that were packed into quivers as well as all the extra…

A couple of days passed in the real world as well as in the game world. I was worried the first day that Rebecca was staying in my house but after waking up from the game and talking to her immediately, we both noticed that nothing much happened. In the game, she still have a tough time but as it happened over and over again she got used to the small acts of malice. Only when there was something extremely disturbing or grotesque would she become affected and sometimes collapse. However, the moment she was…

I open my eyes to see Gobi training but quickly got up to find Kingston, old man Hus, Howard and Noah. With 2 players as well as 3 of the more knowledgeable NPCs I formed a small council. Originally, the plan was to follow my word and the method in how I wanted to go about it to travel towards the mountain however, experiencing today changed my thought. I can't do everyone alone and I need help. I got everyone and sat around a wooden table near old man Hus's workshop. I could tell everyone was slightly…

After a bit more time chatting away with Evan we eventually had to split. Evan needed to go home and help out his family which left Rebecca and me to our own devices. During the whole conversation, I got to learn more about Rebecca. Usually, I would just see her on her phone at the counter whenever we worked together and we would barely talk to each other, just the bare minimum to get through the day. Now, I found out she lives with just her dad and she plays a lot of different games. She may be quiet but…
