As I was preparing to descend back into the world after bidding Balu farewell, I found both Bihena and Aurivy blocking my way towards my room. I could just access the system mentally to descend, but the two of them had extremely determined faces, which piqued my curiosity. “What’s going on?” “We want you to visit Fyor, Dale.” Aurivy spoke up, her tone serious. “There’s something we need you to try out.” Even Bihena seemed a bit surprised by Aurivy’s tone, before stepping forward to…-

Sure enough, by the time that the world had been established, and Terra had finished allocating their batch of points into a private fund for Aurivy and Bihena, it was almost time for the Meeting to end. In order to prepare, I went ahead and chose to descend, that way I wasn’t just pushed into my body again. As I had expected, there were no options to choose from when I descended this time, and it put me exactly where I had been, in exactly the same form. Since I still had a few moments before the…

“Come on, Dale, it’s time to wake up.” I heard a voice rousing me from my slumber, my mind still foggy from sleep. As I opened my eyes, I recognized the face of Terra, bringing a small smile to my face. Terra let out a sigh of relief, closing her eyes while her red hair fell down the side of her head, brushing against the bed. “Good, seems like you’re feeling better. Now get up, quick. You’ve got an hour left before the Meeting time is over.” “Alright, alright, I’m up.” I said…

“So, how much do you remember about our guild?” Sarah asked with a curious tilt of her head once I had approached her stall. “Pretty much the same as everyone else here?” I responded with a slight shrug, though felt a smile creep onto my face. “Just a group of friends looking out for each other. Though… I remember there only being five of you.” “Ahh, you never met Meatlover.” Sarah chuckled dryly as she said that. “He doesn’t tend to go to the monthly meetings. Would rather…

Aurivy let out a long sigh after we finished our last round of the game. “Okay, so, what’s next?” She glanced around at the rest of us, a small grin on her face. “I’m… not sure?” I asked, looking around at the others. “I mean, I’ve already checked out anything I wanted to, and there’s still seven days left of the Meeting, right? Anyone have any ideas?” “Well, aside from just going around and playing whatever games we can?” Bihena asked with a shrug of her shoulders.…

“So what’s the deal here?” I asked as I stepped up towards the stage with Aurivy and Bihena. “A two versus two? Or is this a free-for-all?” It was clear that they wanted to all play this game together, but I had never played Keeper Sim with more than just one other person. “Little of both.” Terra spoke up beside me. “This is just like what you saw at the monthly meeting, but with a few extras. Since it isn’t as restricted as what a Keeper can personally manage on their own, we could…

Irena and I sat, watching the performances for some time. Each one held its own charm, whether it was a movie, a song and dance, or even a stand-up comedy act. After a while, Irena rose to her feet, moving to walk away from her seat. Thinking she was ready to leave, I started to rise to follow her. However, she motioned for me to sit back down, shaking her head. As she walked out of the seating area, she vanished from my view. This lasted for only a moment before I saw her walking onto the stage.…

As we were leaving the restaurant, I caught sight of two figures standing in the distance. Well, it was honestly hard not to, as one was a towering giant standing over five meters tall, while the other looked like an angel. Grimor and his guild leader, if I had to hazard a guess. I pulled Irena gently with me as we moved over in that direction, at which point we saw that the angelic woman had a troubled expression. When she noticed us approach, she shook her head, reaching up to pat Grimor’s arm…

It felt rather odd, walking through the rapidly crafted streets with Irena. Not in a bad way, but… even with Terra and Ryone, I couldn’t really say that I had ever actually been on a date with them. The closest that I could think of would be when I was with Aurivy and Terra for the D’ka festival in the beastkin continent. As we walked, more and more people appeared alongside of us, walking out of their own glowing doorways. Some were alone, some with only one or two others, and some had an entire…

My last few days among the people in the citadel passed by rather slowly. Most of my time was spent nurturing my world sight, or experimenting with its capabilities. Doing so, I learned that I could not only project my sight outwards to other areas, I could accurately sense the smaller details of various energies. However, I also learned the limits of this power, as well. For one reason or another, world sight was incapable of extending beyond the planet’s atmosphere. Out of curiosity, I attempted to…
