The night was cold like it has always been, my body is tired from work but I need to go back home, I've been sleeping in the office for several days now, it would be great to have a proper bed now.

Mist came out from my every breath, it's close to December now.

"Christmas....huh..." I sigh

It has been years now and my parents will routinely bug me at this time of the year, they have been hoping for me to have a lover for quite some time now.

I didn't really had the chance to find love nor have the time to have one, dating is one of the few things that's unknown to me even in my youth I never tried having a girlfriend or anything similar.

I returned to my one-bedroom apartment, cooked a simple meal, took a cold bath, and lay dead in my bed, like some kind of ritual my tired body picked up my Switch and opened Arcadia Life.

I have read in the forum before that they will be having a limited time event only to chosen players of the game.

I was praying for a bit of a miracle however the update notification didn't pop up.

"Damn....unlucky" I cursed under my breath.

I was thinking of starting fresh again, as I didn't get the limited-time event, when I chose the new game option an update notification appeared on the side of the screen.

"Oh!... I believe!" I almost jump from the bed in excitement.

'Congratulations, player 445 you are our lucky winner, you are now allowed to access our New Life System, please proceed to the character creation'

My character was just simple I didn't put too much thought into making it, I'm not a customization geek where you spend hours just to make your character beautiful.

A male with average height, long silver hair, amber eyes, snow-white skin, and slightly pointed ears for the face a bit above average for my standards.

' In addition to your access to the New Life System, we the developers will allow you to take one item from your previous playthrough, please choose carefully'

"One item...Maybe a High-grade weapon? No, the skill restriction will be heavy it would be useless until late game, armor or a skin? Not it would be just a decoration at best....wait a potion! Life Elixir would be the best choice!"

The Life Elixir was a limited-use item that can revive you during combat to full health and mana.

However it's pretty much useless since you'll only get it late game unless you're under level you don't get a chance to use it.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Although if you get it early you'll get many options to use it typically to early bosses with troublesome skills.

My eyes were heavy and I slowly fell asleep

....

" Roy wake up! " An Energetic female voice woke me.

I never remember having a female resident in my apartment and I also remember locking the door so who was this person shouting at the door.

When my sleepiness was gone I looked at the window, there were clouds on it and I appeared to be inside a moving vehicle.

I panicked that I might have been kidnapped however I knew myself I'm not a heavy sleeper, then a flash of memory appeared in my mind.

' Is this some kind of trasfered fantasy shinanigans just like in shows ' Just like some detective from a mystery novel, a question pop in my mind.

' But which one though, I have not been reading lately or watching, I was just playing-!' I rush to the door and opened it.

When I opened the door the default female character was there, I tested a theory in my head and called her in her default name.

" Rose, I'm awake already " I was trying to maintain a smile to avoid suspicion.

In a couple of minutes Imperial Soldiers will attack this aircraft and will try to catch us, depending on which gender you choose the other will push you to the window for your escape, with me using 'Roy' the male one 'Rose' will push me to the window and she will be caught but I have a different Idea.

" Rose, do you trust me?" I held Rose on her shoulders and talked in a stern voice.

" What's with you being this serious Roy?" She was shocked by my sudden behavior.

"Listen to me, it's already too late Imperial Soldiers will attack this place in a minute and catch us so I want you to follow me"

There were many theories about the default characters' relationship with each other however the two were never been seen together in the game so it was left as a mystery for a long time.

I walked to the bridge and saw some travelers and merchants that would be attacked by the Imperial Soldiers later

I moved and opened the northeastern window to the direction of the village where your character was supposed to land, then suddenly a storm of armored men rushed inside the bridge.

" You can't escape you know that Imperial traitors" A man with a scar on his right eye seems to be the leader of the Imperial Soldiers.

Following the flow of the game I slowly walked closer to the window, Rose was panicking from the situation, I took her hand and whispered in her ears.

" Rose, I ask again do you trust me? " I look into her eyes to confirm her intentions.

" Do I really have a choice?" She said while smiling wryly.

I dragged her to the window and jumped, we were falling at a fast speed, with me having neither skills or even high vitality from leveling I was sure that both of us were gonna die,

However its different this time, I swallowed a portion of the Life Elixir before jumping, I'm gonna die but Rose will survive at least, I just hope the Life Elixir will revive you just like in the game.

The ground got closer and closer until my body finally hit the ground, I could feel the bones in my back breaking from the impact and my consciousness slowly disappearing,

when a gold light suddenly enveloped me, I looked at Rose breathing steadily and was knock unconscious from the shock, before passing out myself from the pain.
