The orange sun can no longer be seen, in other words the sun has gone down. The clouds that were dyed in an orange color, had now a hint of darkness creeping into it.

It's already night 2 more hours before the game's end... In actuality it is possible to log out much earlier for those who have finished the quest, but as I was still enjoying the scenery and wanted to hear the Game Administrators speech in the end of the Advancement Quest. I didn't log out and stayed till the end.

"Well, it feels that this one whole day together with you guys is too long..."

"Well the time frame here was expanded 3 times the normal, making the person itself feel that this illusion was real."

Tara says so in response while the others nodded their head quietly. You can't understand what she's saying don't you? Is what I thought as I started to walk back to town...

"Where are you going?"

"Sightseeing... Like what you guys did earlier... I heard from some NPC that the town is beautiful during nighttime."

With my head slightly looking back I responded to Tara's words with a grin...

"It's much better to have more memories now right? Don't think of anything just go along with our stupidity! It's much more fun that way!"

"Yeah! Come on Tara!"

"Let's go... You weren't even talking earlier when we were exploring the town, let's do it again! This time we'll talk lots!"

"Tara! Even in your small physique you're still a---geho!"

"Stop trying to flirt with her moron!"

Tara looked at me with an annoyed expression... It was as if she's saying "I didn't expose what my conditions were to be treated like this! Make it stop at once!" While pouting her mouth. You know, even though you're angry you don't look like it.

"Everyone, everyone! Stop... Let's have Tara decide if she's going to come... She MAY have some other things to do IRL..."

Her face then turned red in anger whilst her hand grabbing the bow on her back. As if saying "I'll shoot a hole in your head! You little schemer!"... I smiled with a tired expression and activated telepathy...

[Come on! Just this once... It'll be a good memory... Well I can understand that you don't want to go with us since it's not like we won't be able to see each other again, I mean we passed the Advancement Quest so we'll see each other again after a designated time.]

[It's not like I don't want to but you are meddling too far in my life... I wish I didn't tell you that after all...]

[Come on! Just this once please! Come with us... We still have two hours before the game ends...]

She lets out a sigh and thus our little telepathic banter ended and nods lightly to the surrounding girls...

×××

Bright lights filled the city, it was a beautiful scenery. It was as if the city itself was alive even though it's only a virtual one. Once we've entered it's streets sounds from clerks could be heard from afar.

"Well, isn't this lively!"

"There weren't this many NPC's here during the day?"

"What an event to end the trial period!"

Aira, Ford and Grazel said so... Tara had a sparkling eyes when she saw the bustling streets... Even though you don't want to come... She then started walking alone stalls to stalls with the other girls following afterwards though Aira didn't go... This girl she's more like a boy than a girl...

"You won't follow them?"

"We've already roamed the town earlier, I see no need to accompany them again instead how about you guys accompany me!"

"""Ehh?"""

"What was that?"

"Why do we have to accompany a man-girl like you?"

"Yeah! Yeah!"

"Uhhh... Ford, Grazel I think you should s--"

Aira gently smiled in front of Ford and Grazel... Then they were immediately struck in their solar plexus... They flew upwards a few dozen inches.

"Gofu!"

"Gaaah!"

Then lands down with a thud while groaning in pain. Then she immediately turned her face towards me...

"You too?"

"Hii! I, I'll accompany you!"

Her anger dissipated as I uttered those words then her mouth arched into a smile.

"Good! Come on let's go!"

She linked hear arms with mine and dragged me from stall to stall... Leaving the two lying corpses behind while groaning "uuuu! Uuu!" Like a zombie.

×××

"You know you look a lot like my younger brother in his younger years..."

"Eh? Really?"

"Yes! Oh! Buy this one! I think it's good!"

"You don't even know what it taste like."

"Just be my guinea pig!"

Earlier while we were having a chat up the giant sakura tree the system added the taste sensing feature. What a way to end the Test phase of the game. This girl though after hearing that she suddenly wants to eat some food as it won't taste like sand anymore... If she had a boyfriend, he'll want to break up almost immediately at the start of their date... and so I bought two [Honey-filled Apples] for myself and for her...

"Well isn't this delicious!"

"It's not like it can actually fill your stomach..."

"I know but food is still food! Virtually and Physically..."

"Eh... Aren't you a gluttonous one?"

"Mwu! I am not!"

Then pushed me lightly to the side. Even though I said lightly I was practical pushed away a few meters, her STR parameter is out of this world!

"So... You're a brother huh?"

"Uh... Oh! Yeah! You look a lot like him... Though he's practically changed overtime he became a bit... you know... Delicate in size..."

If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

"You meant he became fat right?"

"Yeah... That..."

"I'm actually fat myself I wonder why the system made me a body like this... I became a fourteen year old again..."

"Haha! If he played this game he would be very happy... He holed himself up again in his room... Well, not like I'm not doing the same thing..."

"Did you also use your image as the character's body?"

"No! Heck no! Anyone would know me if they see my face!"

"Wha? Are you a celebrity or something? Cause it's not like it only happened in one country... It's a worldwide thing this trial test!"

"Eh? Seriously!? It would've been much better to incorporate my features then..."

"You have a good life IRL?"

"Yeah, pretty much... I have tons of friends, go to school clubs, and an ace in my class..."

Eh? You're pretty much okay!? Why'd you keep yourself in a room playing this game then?

"Heh... I'm practically you opposite... I have a FRIEND, no clubs, and average in class plus humiliated through the whole school by some jerky senior..."

"Really, my brother was the same! Where do you go to school again?"

"Oh, Henvel University near Makati drive..."

"Eh!? My brother goes there too! You can be like friends or something! Though it's actually sembreak though so you wouldn't be able to..."

"I see..."

She's a good listener, she mostly reminds me of my sister... I wonder if we could be like this if I weren't such an a-hole.

"Haha! You remind me of my sister... I once called her, her name but I only call her sis now... I feel ashamed of myself actually, thinking that she betrayed me when things get into a tight spot was just me being childish. Once my mind cleared up I knew I was in the wrong but couldn't apologize for the words I said to her..."

"Ahaha! This conversation got gloomy so fast! Let's change the topic! What was your sister like?"

I guess the atmosphere did get a bit heavy... Haha... I'm so stupid... Okay then I'll take her call on that... About sis... She was like...

"I don't know what to compare her though... But she's kind and gentle, like you minus the overflowing strength that could crush bones in seconds. She's intelligent as well, she aced her class in every year... I don't know how she does that though... She's quite lively too I wonder if that girl actually accumulate stress and play games too..."

"Having to work hard at school and be lively at home... Its quite a hard thing to do you know! Keeping everything to yourself and letting it bottle up inside! She'll need some outlet once in a while... Maybe she plays too!"

"Well, she listens to songs though mostly K-Pop though my ears kept ringing when I hear it... But if it lessens her stress then I'll deal with it."

"You're quite a talker aren't you... If you were my brother, I would have been crying in tears now hearing that you actually felt sorry for what you've done..."

"... Yeah... I'll say sorry to her later once I log out... Thanks for listening to my ranting Aira..."

"No prob! Whenever there's a problem you can talk to me... Online!"

"Yeah!"

So ends our conversation and once again link arms with mine... It didn't felt uncomfortable anymore, actually it felt warm and gentle... We walked around the stalls once more and bought some food to give the two guys who got owned for their actions.

×××

"Yo! Food?"

"Wha! Grazel, food! Ryo brought us food!"

"Uuu..."

It seems Grazel remembered how he was punched and fell to the ground groaning once again... You can stop now you know she won't punch you anymore... Ford on the other hand seemed to have totally forgotten about it and his eyes were locked on the brought food. The other three however where nowhere to be seen. It's almost time for the grand finale though...

"Oh! I have to log out! I remembered something urgent! I'll be playing it once the beta testing is announced so we'll be able to see each other again! It's gonna be one month right?"

"Ah! You mean the beta phase of the game! Yeah it's going to be one month before they release it..."

"I see! I see! Alright then! I'll have to go! Ciao!"

Her body brightly shines and disappears... It's not like when logging out of a battle zone your body disappears entirely not left out alone...

"Ah! There she goes! Grazel you can stop now!"

"Uuu... It still lingers the knuckles of her fist... I'm sorry I don't feel well... Mentally I have to log out please send me regards for everyone..."

Grazel pushes out the log out button the disappears like Aira... Aira and Grazel were already offline in the friend list... Oh! So is Tara... When did she log out? Leona and Shiva are still together... Oh and they are at a particular spot in the city... What are they doing there though.

"Ford? How about you?"

"Oh! I'm logging out too man! Gotta cook lunch! I was in charged for today! Sorry bro! Have to log out now!"

"It's cool man! See you next month!"

"Cool! Later dude!"

Haha, he actually played through with my joke... He's a great guy! So what Aira's urgent thing was... That gluttonous girl she only wants to eat! Is she fat IRL or something?

I glanced at the friend list again the last two also logged out... Hmm? Do they actually know each other and are having a party for the completion of the quest without me? Well, it's not like I'm close to them nor know them... But I feel left out... Should I log out too?

"Haah! Alone again... I'll just wait until the end of the phase has ended and when is the particular date of beta testing is..."

So my night ends... Alone in the corner of the giant sakura tree as I once again indulged myself in a staring contest with the stars...
