Jana finally saw the female protagonist's face. She held back the gasp of amazement trying to wiggle out of her throat. Hyacinth Johnson is a picture of a princess. She's tall and petite. A slender ray of sunshine walking gracefully on earth. The only thing that betrayed her on that moment was the smirk on her precious face. She's in a frenzied state while fiddling the cam recorder on her hand. She didn't even noticed Jana and Austin watching her. "This is not something that a friend would do." Jana whispered to Austin. "This is just so…" "I know Spencer. He's a one hit wonder guy, and that Tasha's smile wasn't innocent too. Myr, what they are planning to do is something against the school. Maybe what that Hyacinth is trying to do was to stop them." Jana was incredulous of his reasoning. She turned to him to flick his ears. "Are you that dumb? Instead of warning Spencer and Tasha to stop, you wanted to invalidate all of their hard work in this school and just have them expelled

“Then, what should I do?” Spencer laid his hopeful eyes to Jana. His lips was still moist because of his kiss with Tasha. It freaked Jana out. “Myriad, please.” Austin's steady gaze promted Jana to say, “Stop her. We must destroy her camera.” Jana hoped to erase her answer to Spencer that night. Still, she endured the burden of saving another person other than herself. Now she has to think for Spencer and Tasha too. "I didn't know you can think that way," Austin lead the way outside the girls' dorm. Spencer had run back to his dorm with a promise to help tomorrow morning. Jana thought he needed a time to think of a way himself. Spencer ranked 10th amongst all the fourth year students. He's not stupid. Jana will help anyone who plans to bring Hyacinth down. "You… I don't know if you're still the Myriad that I know." "Now that I decided to be open and be myself, you want to accuse me of being fake? Or possessed?" Austin rolled his eyes and hit her shoulder playfully. "I don't m

Spencer and Austin huddled over Jana after the first class ended. Jana resolutely walked out of the room and called them to talk in a secure place. She picked the locker area. "Okay, we have a few minutes," she said without preamble, "The only way to make her shut up is to expell her." "Myriad!" Austin exclaimed, "That's too much!" Jana held one palm up. "Hear me out, Austin Dale." "What happened?" Spencer shuffled his feet and swallowed. "Did she do something this morning? You were late. That's .12 off of your merit points." "That's why I told you the only way to stop her schemes is to have her expelled." Jana shook her head. She looked down and said, "This morning I wake up fine. Like the usual. The only peculiar thing that happened is that, I saw her at the ground floor with reddened ankles. She asked me for help. She acted as though she didn't know me and that she badly wants to meet Austin. She asked me to go fetch her at lunch because she's my 'responsibility'. Austin,

Jana forced herself to stop smiling. She brusquely laid the tray on the table. Some of her bland soup splashed on Hyacinth's long sleeves. Jana peered on her reaction. The woman's eyes twitched but she pouted to Austin with a pleading gaze in lieu. "My God! The line was so long I almost cramped my legs while waiting." Jana exaggerated wiping her non-existent sweat. "Hey, Austin. I'm so sorry but this pork chop… I put a lot of peppers on it." "What?" Hyacinth knowingly shook her head disapprovingly. "You know Austin doesn't like that in his food! It's spicy! Are you really his friend? Myriad, come on!" Austin's brow creased. "No! I like my pork chops with peppers especially in winter. Please stop saying those things to Myriad. She know me, okay?" Jana feigned disappointment. "What are you talking about, Hyacinth? I was sorry because I didn't bought his favorite drink with this dish." "Oh…" Hyacinth's face reddened in shame. Jana enjoyed her flustered appearance. "Then I…

She was played. Jana didn't even notice it. While she was busy feeling happy over Hyacinth's petty act, she didn't see how the protagonist deflected her from her original plan. Stop Natasha, Melody and Sarah from being expelled. Jana now knew who's the co-player inside this instance. It's the protagonist herself. Jana stood and padded her way out of the club room they rented. "I'm sorry. I have to go elsewhere. Do your bath now, Austin. For pete's sake, you stink!" "I stink?" Austin grumbled, "You're looking at me like I'm a walking pizza earlier!" She pretended as if she couldn't hear him. In fact, she had long lost her sense of shame. Embarrassment won't let her live long and survive here. She would rather act frivolous than die doing nothing. Hyacinth manage to astound her in just one move. It's not too much to assume that the woman already knew her role. Hyacinth will dimiss her soon. She can't let her have her own way. Jana can't do anything during night time. Bu

"I didn't know what you'd like to eat so... I picked these." Hyacinth smiled so sweetly. Jana was sickened to the stomach just by seeing her lame actions. "I'm sorry but... I recalled you chose this salad the first time we ate together. See? I remembered!" 'No, you didn't. You didn't remember anything.' Jana couldn't open her mouth and say she couldn't eat a plate with all greens and no meat. This is plain torture to her palate. Hyacinth's overly dramatic voice has attracted other students' attention. If Jana refused to eat this, Hyacinth may act all sad and even voice out her disappointment in her shrill voice. Then, in the end, she will be rumoured as a snub. So Jana, swallowing her pride and the task to eat grass for dinner, chose to nod graciously. "You got it right. Thank you. The drink is fine too." Hyacinth didn't hide her smirk. Jana lowered her head and pretended to not see anything. She mustered a lot of courage to take a piece of leaf and put it directly in her mouth

"MS. DENISE! Look here!" Jana exerted a lot of effort to lengthen her neck and call relentlessly. "Teacher! Look at me!" Denise finally stopped. She didn't look friendly as she knocked her forehead. "What is it? You keep calling me. I'm done with the lesson. Did I miss something and you want to report me to the headmaster?" Jana closed her mouth. She stared at her evenly before enunciating, "I am a player in this game. Just like you. Now can we talk properly?" Denise' eyes bulged two times its original size. Her gasp almost swallowed Jana whole. "You... you!" "Me? Me!" she squealed, "I"m the reason why you died on the last level!" Jana saw her mouth formed into a smile. Yet before she could let it out, Jana's words made her stop. "Stupid!" She gathered her notes before unceremoniously bashing Jana's head with it. "Stupid! You could've find another way to overcome the situation without actually killing me! I have the unfortunate role of being the villain's lackey throughout th

'HYACINTH should be expelled.' That's the only simple yet practical thing to do in order to defeat the protagonist. But how to make that possible? That's quite a problem to behold. Denise agreed to be her lackey. Jana was in an awkward position everytime that Denise follows her around and denying it whenever someone is asking. It was quite hard to dispel the questions of her classmate. She, herself, can't see why does Denise needs to follow her everywhere. "Most of the villains get killed all of a sudden. That leads to the reason why I lose without even trying! Now that I know who you are and the role that you play, I need to protect you at all cost!" "Ah…" Jana tilted her head to the right and blinked furiously. "Do you even know my name?" "Myriad White! A student of mine." Denise answered with confidence. "How about we take a break? My mind couldn't keep up with the lessons. It's too hard." "So you know that you have to teach? You will get ourselves blown because of what

"WHEN are you going to use it?" Spencer's mouth opened wide to accept the large piece of cake that Jana was feeding him. He was busy prodding the computer for CCTV footages. As to when did he manage to get the hard drive, Jana needn't ask him about it. The way he smiled when he wiggled the flash drive in front of her speaks volume of his misdeeds. "Although I'm not fully convinced that she's really into something that may harm me, getting her expelled will not do anything to me. You're my friend so... I'll be supportive this time." Because Hyacinth didn't use Spencer's obscene pictures with Tasha, it made him convinced that maybe Hyacinth was only there in the wrong timing. Jana couldn't help but be amazed with the protagonists' innocent halo. Even if the evidence was clear, the non-player characters ultimately thought of them as someone who could never do anything bad. "Continue to follow her movements for a week and we'll see if you won't change your mind." Jana lowered the paper

JANA ROLLED out of bed with a frown. Her head aches. "Vivien, do you have something that can help me alleviate this pain?" "Host, it's good that you remembered me." The mechanical voice sighed. Jana was amused to know this human-like feature of this Ai. "The last mission got me an upgrade. You can now adjust your body constitution depending on your own will too!" Jana bit her lips with expectation. "Is this my 'cheat', then?" "Slim chance, host. That's very unlikely. Player Denise can also change her constitution but it also has to remain within the world's logic. Hence, it will be hard explaining the strange condition of your body." She hissed. "Yeah, now that I think about it— your upgrade has its pros and cons." "Nothing's free in the world, host. One cannot enjoy something without limitation. If not, then our lives should be endless." "Who says everyone enjoys living?" Jana yawned. "There will always be a person who thinks otherwise." Vivien breathed out again. Jana c
