Xin didn't want to stay idly at home since it made him think of unhappy thoughts –– mostly about Meilyn. He needed to occupy himself with a lot of things to take off his mind from reality. Guildbane offered such escapism, and its timing couldn't be any more perfect. Xin logged back into the game, realizing that he didn't have a weapon. It dawned on him that he had been wandering the dangerous shores without any means of defense. It wasn't a necessity before since Triton mostly killed the…

As Xin and Xiaxia strolled through the bustling mall, they entered a store showcasing various gaming headgear. Xiaxia initiated the conversation, inquiring about Xin's desired headgear. "So, what kind of headgear are you looking for?" Xiaxia asked curiously. Xin pondered for a moment before responding, his eyes fixed on the array of headgear options. "Something that would allow me to play the game nonstop." Xiaxia burst into laughter, finding Xin's request amusing. "Oh, there's no such thing,…

Xiaxia's confidence had returned as she enthusiastically explained the mechanics of spell and skill slots to Xin. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she delved into the details. "Though it may seem confusing at first, it's actually quite straightforward," Xiaxia began. "Each class has specific spell and skill slots that determines the number and level of spells and skills a character can use at each character level." She gestured animatedly as she continued, "For instance, at your current level of…

"I'm glad that you're seriously considering your class, but don't wait too much. It could potentially impact your overall stat," Xiaxia advised. Xin was aware of it, so he didn't comment. "By the way," Xin lowered his cup. "Does anyone have, like . . . infinite stats in the game?" Xiaxia, absorbed in her meal, glanced up at Xin in surprise. "Infinite stats? No, there's no such thing," she replied dismissively, her attention quickly returning to her food. Xin had suspected as much. "What about…

Xiaxia giggled mischievously, enjoying the opportunity to show off her gaming knowledge. "Oh, let me tell you something interesting. Each race in the game has its own special ability called a racial trait. It's like a unique skill that only members of that race can have." Xin looked intrigued. "Really?" Nodding eagerly, Xiaxia continued. "For example, if you chose to be an Elf, you would have gained the racial trait. Elves are known for their exceptional vision, which makes them great hunters. Many…

Xin stared at Meilyn's hand, contemplating the weight of her words and the new dynamics of their relationship. After a few moments of hesitation, he finally accepted her hand, feeling a firm grip that contrasted with his own lack of strength. The next thing he knew, Meilyn was saying goodbye, went outside in a hurry, and entered the Bugatti. It must be her boyfriend. Xin thought. The car went on its way, but Xin kept looking out the window. It started to rain, but Xin's gaze remained fixed…

"I'm taking medicine at Fate Academy. You know that I always wanted to take care of my parents when they got old, right? And I don't have any special skills or hobby that would excel me from the rest. It's kind of hard, but I'm managing somehow. I'm in my third year right now, and I've been training in the hospital." As Meilyn spoke, her voice was gentle and soothing, her words carrying a hint of vulnerability. Xin found himself captivated by her soft smile and her melting dark eyes, which radiated…

Against his better judgment, Xin found himself waiting outside the gates of Fate Academy, driven by his emotions and a strong desire to see Meilyn. The journey to this place had taken him thirty minutes by bus from Meilyn's house since it wasn't rush hour yet. He still had enough time, so he decided to wait for her. If he went home, he wouldn't be able to stop thinking about her, so he might as well wait for her in her school. Leaning against the wall, Xin patiently waited as the students began to…

As Xin settled into his seat on the bus, he glanced out the window and observed the changes in Zone A. The once-familiar city had transformed over the course of four years, leaving him with a sense of unease. Buildings had risen, landscapes had shifted, and everything seemed somewhat unfamiliar. Trying to push these unsettling thoughts aside, Xin redirected his focus to his upcoming meeting with Meilyn. Mixed emotions of unease and excitement swirled within him, causing a tumultuous whirlwind in his…

Xin grabbed the menu and didn't shy away from Michael's offer. He was not one to refuse blessings when it was given. He decided to order takeouts. One that he hadn't tried yet. And, of course, he didn't forget to order his mother and Xiaxia's favorite. Omakase Sushi: Chef's choice of the freshest and most premium cuts of fish served over seasoned rice. Wagyu Beef. Uni (Sea Urchin) Sashimi: Delicate and creamy sea urchin roe, a prized delicacy. Tempura. Chirashi Bowl: A bowl of sushi rice topped…
