The rest of the day we went out and enjoyed ourselves. Watched a movie that Sasha could watch and wasn’t to childish for us, went eat, walked about before going to a small amusement park.
It was fun to be with them and i could smile while i was with them. I talked but it was in short phrases. Besides Sasha, i still am a bit uncomfortable speaking with others even my own parents.
The doctor, no matter how much i hate how forceful the method was, is right. At least with those i know i should talk. I will try but i think for now it will be short phrases at best.
I did as to pass by another larger book store as we walked about. The main reason was to buy books about construction, small and large scale management guides and several books that might help me to survive the irritating task of making a village.
I doubt i will need the construction one yet but management was a must. I know little to nothing about managing a village where people live and work.
I know i will need housing and then the work before i can set up the school but i think it should be quick if Brock makes temporary rooms inside his body.
After we go home and mom makes us some food. Dad wanted to make a barbeque with an entire bull rib but with only four of us we can’t eat it all.
(Trust me when i say that Brazilian cooked ribs are awesome)
Still, the roasted chicken, pork ribs was more than enough to satisfy us.
It was just after eating that a knock came from the door.
We looked a bit shocked because of where we are and the thought of an officer or someone being here came to mind. I stand up and open the door. Standing there was a strong built man in a cop’s uniform, a blue shirt and black pants but with no weapons since it's already been proven they don’t need them.
The movement restraint is already more than sufficient to paralyze who they want so no need to carry weapons.
Officer: ‘Evening, we are going around telling all the members of the feedback test project about a unique program made only for this Virtual town. It can’t be released with a notification or it would go to ever virtual town. The new program works together with part of the new patch being implemented at this moment; you can invite the players who are part of your crew to your virtual space and this virtual town during your stay. There isn’t a cost but both parties need to agree. That is all.’
With that he nodded once and turned before leaving.
It was rather abrupt and i looked at my family who was just as surprised but it was mom who smiled and broke the silence.
Mom: ‘Wow! With this i can meet the kids who are taking care of my two babies! Call than Nathaniel’
I nod and open the space menu before pressing the help button. A new window appeared and at the top was a new attachment i had already guessed would appear.
It read, “How to invite crews to your space”
I click and it showed the whole process which was rather simple. The new program somewhat links the game to here and lets me access the information i have in the game which include the crew list.
In the list it showed who was online and who was off as well as whom i could invite.
The NPC were all greyed out so only, Bulk, Victor, Ena, Blaze, Brock, Annab… Wait what?
I looked closely and see the lit up button for invite next to Annabeth's and Greer’s name.
Instantly the veins on my forehead pop out. Seems i picked up something a bit interesting today. Only these two were on and the rest was greyed out with a (NPC) or an (Offline) next to the name but these two were lit up completely.
I press both with an almost evil smile.
Moments later a window appeared.
Annabeth and Greer have rejected the invitation.
Nathan: ‘Hoo~~! So they have the nerve to deny even when the game is up.’
I open a PM to both of them and send a really nice invitation to both of them.
You two accept the invite or i will make your lives hell in Etheria. I will tie you up and then put you both on Brock's tail or fines while he is travelling or hook you under him and leave you to hang outside tied up.
I send and a moment later i press the invite button again before i wait patiently with a smile. My parents were confused but i told them nothing was wrong, there were two who were online.
Nathan: ‘They are coming.’
After a minute the message arrived along with a PM.
Annabeth has accepted your invitation. Linking Virtual Spaces.Greer has accepted your invitation. Linking Virtual Spaces.
Annabeth: ‘YOU ARE TOO CRUEL!’
I simply smile at my victory once again and a moment later the door to my virtual space opened.
Coming through was a girl that looked around 18~20 years old with brown hair that fell down her back, very light tan skin with dark brown eyes. She was wearing casual clothes and a frown that made her look cute but should she be normal she would look like an above average beauty.
After she closed the door it opened again and revealed a short girl that looked no older then 12, was flat as a board and had a kid like aura to her. She had light brown hair, regular white skin and wore a long skirt with a loose shirt with short sleeves.
I look at both without batting an eye at the taller ones glare.
Mom: ‘My, my~! What's with this atmosphere? What’s with the hostility, kids? Aren’t you in the same crew?’
Nathan: ‘Not the problem. These two should be NPC.’
The two were completely shocked hearing me speak, which was natural since they only heard me scold Sasha once.
Dad: ‘What does he mean by NPC?’
Alexandria (annabeth): ‘NPC means “Non player character”’
Dad: ‘I know that but why did he say you were NPC’s and not players.’
Sarah (Greer): ‘Isn’t it better to splii it. It would be worse if we don’t be open.’
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
The small one timidly hid behind the tall one while saying that.
I invite them in and they start explaining.
You can’t imagine how shocked i was to find they were GM’s. Before any of us could even ask, no they can’t alter the game, help with info or any benefits because they are given only a few simple rules to follow besides that they are players who take on NPC as their characters.
Rule 1: Don’t openly reveal yourself as GM. I found it by mistake which also seems to be from a glitch which was quickly reported.’
Rule 2: You must play the part of an NPC but once you become a companion you can be a bit more lax but without revealing it.
Rule 3: Don’t reveal anything you might discover. GM’s are spread out in all races including those undiscovered to monitor the races.
These two in particular completed their job and were now given new assignments which they won’t tell us.
For the moment we are silent after she explained that but that lasted very little time because Sasha was already sitting next to Sarah and petting her like in game. I don’t know what is worst, Sasha liking to pet small cute things or that the one getting pet actually likes it. Her eyes were half closed and i could even imagine her tiger tail wagging in rhythm to Sasha’s petting.
Mom and dad were conflicted about her doing that but could only smile warmly at the sight of the 19 year old loli get pet by the 8 year old.
I was also having trouble with this but then i suddenly got a good idea and it seem to show on my face since both tensed up.
Alex: ‘What? What's with that face?’
Nathan: ‘Come here every day.’
They both blinked before a small blush appeared on their faces.
Nathan: ‘Or i tell the others.’
The two got red but i didn’t know if it was embarrassment or rage. I bet they thought it was something like “Come to date” or “I need you” or some other fantasy like that which girls love to make all too often.
I want them to come and teach Sasha. They are my age so that means that they can teach her better than i can both in game and out.
A moment later Alex stood up completely red.
Alex: ‘Don’t go and threaten us. We may have found but that doesn’t jeopardize our jobs as GM’s it's only if we willingly brag about it or openly talk about.’
Nathan: ‘Crew will know. Village will learn from me.’
I simply shrug and call Sasha over and she happily sits on my lap.
The two slump down in defeat. I love when things go my way. I wonder if that retarded doctor thinks the same. Speaking of him i didn’t have the strength to argue but didn’t he break several ethic codes today? Well though i hated it i was able to openly talk with my parents after that. Even more then i would have if i didn’t go. Still i hate being ordered around.
After that, mom and dad ask them about me in game. After that question a smile that showed all the kindness in the world was aimed at them coming from me. They told all the good i have done for their races in game.
Both of them were a bit shocked to hear that we were the clockwork crew. Well Einherjar now but on the flag I put the crew name on the wings of Strato and “The clockwork” below on the lower right in the background.
Though the flag looks silly i think it might instill quite a bit of fear later on.
After that we talked about what we do in the game and how the two girls are really impressed that i could do so much with the game system helping. I did go and grab all the books i got. I told them that i had begun learning about it and would soon make a proper workshop. Though many of the tools we have are small and fit inside me or are part of Victor’s power suit. We need those machines to produce delicate parts. We did get those furnace but they make only iron. We need to dismantle them and make something better. Still we need lots of stuff like ammo and parts so i think for now it’s best to leave as is.
After a while we go to Sasha’s room so that i could show them why i wanted them to visit often. When i put my hand on the bookshelf they looked confused.
Nathan: ‘Grade schooler books. You two, teaches her.’
With those broken sentences they blinked and Alex frowned.
Alex: ‘Is this why you told us to come here every day.’
I nod with a blank face that showed i was serious.
She simply face palmed at her own stupidity. I chuckled watching her sulk. From the little murmurs i heard coming from her it seems that i was right that she was thinking of “other” reasons for coming here.
I wonder where she got her attachment to me. I never once lifted a flag nor has she done the same.
Well, with my current state of mind i doubt i would be truly able to have a relationship, how to answer one or even if i love someone already.
After a bit she gets up and sulks over to the bookshelf and starts looking over the books.
Alex: ‘Preschool until eighth grade? So few story books. Don’t you care about her childhood?’
Sasha: ‘Well we don’t stay here much and when we do bro plays with me outside and then i study.’
Nathan: ‘Keep to that.’
She just sighed and looked it over one book at a time. She then opened the notepad and typed before sending it over to me.
There were several names that were probably from books.
Alex: ‘Go buy those books. They are lacking here and they are important material. I will go visit a few teachers i still keep in contact with to confirm that and then maybe get more.’
She does a gesture that was meant for me to leave and fast so i shrugged and saving the note i leave to go get them.
Alex PoV
Finally that pain in the ass is gone. My eyes fall on the adorable girl petting my loli coworker who looked to be in bliss.
The size is just a little different from each other with Sarah being a bit taller that’s all.
I grin appears on my face and the two sensed a change and looked.
Sarah paled seeing me like that but Sasha was confused. Let’s have a lot of fun while i can. It’s not every day you can get to play dress up with the sister of someone as protective person like Techno.
I can’t wait for him to return. This is going to be so much fun.
Alex: ‘Well girls, let’s have some fun.’
