Semua Bab Arcane Realm: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Reyna-Turning my head, I looked up at him while his focus was on the water in front of us and my fishing pole. With how close he was to me; I noticed a few specks of sapphire in his eyes. I thought it was strange that his brown eyes had blue in them.It wasn’t tinged with blue, as the specks didn’t blend in with the brown. I thought maybe it was just the way the game made his character, yet I wondered if they might have been like that in real life. Taking my attention off his eyes, I noticed that whenever he was focused like this, there was a small dimple by the corner of his mouth.“As I had wanted to make this game as real as possible, fishing is like the way it is in reality. It doesn’t take as long, but the concept is still the same.” Luka explained, but I was too focused on him to notice what he was doing.I barely registered that he guided my hands or that he was basically fishing for me. I was too wrapped up in the way it felt to be in his arms, with his hands over mine. The o

Reyna-I was startled by how he grabbed me, but I didn’t pull away. Wrapping my arms around him, I didn’t ask why he suddenly felt the need to hug me. After a few minutes passed, he stepped back, while opening the inside of his coat.I watched as he swiped his hand down the inner later and a blue light appeared. Taking a closer look, it looked as if it were a keyboard of a sort. Confused, I looked up at him, as he focused on typing something on the inside of his coat.Before I could ask him, what was going on, a white hood appeared over my head, like the one on his coat. Reaching up, I touched the edge of the hood and tried to push it off, but he stopped me. Luka pulled it further down on my face, while also pulling his hood over his head.“I need you to keep it on whenever other players are around. I realize that you also need to keep your identity a secret at least for now.” Luka said as he wrapped one arm behind me and lowered his head as he guided me.Looking around, but keeping m

Reyna-After entering the dungeon, I realized that this monster wasn’t like the one in the beta test. It was a Sphinx, but it was slightly different. Instead of it being part bull, it was part lion. It had a lion’s body, with a human face and the wings of a large bird.Instead of being a chestnut brown like last time, it was a light beige, blending into the stand that surrounded it. This battle could be dangerous if we weren’t careful. Hopefully, whatever riddle it chose for us, would be something we could answer.Since I knew Luka hadn’t decided on the riddles himself, we were flying blind here. Mentally I crossed my fingers, hoping that it wouldn’t be difficult. Since I was taking the lead on this, I stepped forward to activate the dungeon.“Welcome new challengers. Answer me this riddle and you will be rewarded.” A deep male voice spoke as the Sphinx came forward, with its wings pulled back, tucked against its large body. “I have keys, but no locks, what am I?”Excitement flooded

Reyna-“Where have you been?” Ameria leaned against my desk, with her butt resting on one of the folders that I had on the desk.I kept looking at the folder, wishing she would get off my desk. As many times as I have told her though, she never listened. Deciding that I didn’t need the folder, I gave her my attention.“Huh?” I asked, not because I hadn’t heard her but because I needed time to produce a solid excuse.“You haven’t been in the office in a while and that is not like you. Normally we talk all the time, but ever since the CEO went missing, you have been acting weird. Do you know something?”For as long as she and I have been friends, I should have known she would start suspecting me. There was one thing that she didn’t know about me, so I decided to use that as my excuse. Knowing her, she would latch on to the gossip and forget the rest.“Do you remember me telling you when we were in high school that I thought I fell in love?”“Yeah, with some guy you met at the hospital.

Reyna-I spent the next week going back and forth between the game. Luka has made a lot of progress on the house, but we haven’t made much progress on level five. At most, we were taking out monsters. The map itself was a bit tricky.My meeting with Zane had been postponed, as he had to leave on some urgent business. I didn’t mind, as I wasn’t sure why he wanted to meet with me anyway. On the plus side though, Nicole hasn’t been stirring up any trouble, but I was sure it was only temporary.Ameria thinks that she is only playing her role so she could play the game during work hours. She wasn’t bad at learning everything, but she wasn’t great either. Her skills in the workplace were subpar at best. In my opinion, she needed to start at a lower level than as a game tester in the company.Since it was her father’s wish, however, I was willing to work with her. Luckily, I have had very few run-ins with her. Not saying that Ameria hasn’t talked about her until my ears bled. In another week
