Arcane Realm Chapter 39
Reyna-“Was there a reason you invited me out for lunch?” I asked Zane after the waitress took our order.When we arrived at the restaurant that Zane wanted to take me to, I was a little surprised. I expected it to be a nice expensive place. Instead, it was a quaint little family restaurant that served Italian food.“Actually, I should be honest. I wanted to get to know you better. There is something intriguing about you and I would like to become friends. Well, for now, I want to be friends.”I wanted to tell him that there was no feasible way we could be more than friends, as my heart belonged to someone else. Since I couldn’t admit to knowing what was going on with Luka though, I had to keep my mouth shut. If someone knew that I was in a relationship but couldn’t prove it, they might think I am crazy or learn the truth.Smiling at him, I hoped he at least didn’t think I was agreeing to become more than friends. Since he was Luka’s best friend, then I didn’t see a reason we couldn’t
Arcane Realm Chapter 40
Reyna-In total freak-out mode, I teleported to level six and spent all night trying to find him, I didn’t have any luck and I kept thinking the worst. Hoping that it was nothing more than an issue with the game, I messaged him multiple times. He didn’t answer all night and I was becoming more worried by the minute.I didn’t know what was going on, but I kept praying that he was just mad at me and hiding. When the sun started to come up, I knew I needed to log out to get ready for work. With no sleep and unable to get my mind to stop thinking that he was dead somewhere, I logged out of the game.I was tempted to call into work, but I couldn’t keep playing hooky. All day at work, I was like a zombie, going through the day on autopilot. After work, I hurried back to my brothers, to log back into the game.Even at work, I tried searching for him, but it proved to be pointless. Returning home, I spent another night looking for him but logged out after a few hours. My mental state couldn’t
Arcane Realm Chapter 41
Reyna-I was furious that Luka went ahead in the game on his own. To fight the boss to get to level seven, I had to die multiple times, far more than I had to do in the past. I kept trying to talk to Luka about what was going on and why he decided to go turn solo, but he wouldn’t answer.Unlike when I kept thinking he was dead, he at least let me know he was still on level eight. When I reached the Boss on level seven, I was exhausted. I have been rushing to clear level seven and eight without logging out.When I did the beta version, it took me a minimum of three days if not longer to clear each level. Now I was trying to get to level eight in forty-eight hours. Since I still had to work on Monday, I needed to meet with Luka beforehand.I struggled with the Boss on level seven, but only because I was mentally and emotionally drained. I couldn’t log out and revisit it later since I reached the Boss on Sunday night. Since I was playing solo right now, every time I died, I would respawn

Luka-When someone sat in the chair across from me, I expected to see Reyna, but it wasn’t her. Luckily, I had my mask on, otherwise, I was sure this female player would recognize me. There was something familiar about her, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.“Can I help you?” I asked, sounding slightly annoyed.“It is more how I can help you, handsome.” The girl flirted as if she didn’t have any sense of pride.“Thank you, but no.” I stood from my chair to walk away from her, and that was when I noticed Reyna standing a few feet away.I couldn’t read her expression, but I sensed that she wasn’t happy. I wanted to let her know that it wasn’t what it looked like, but the female grabbed my arm. She quickly stood up and blocked my path. Since I was still focused on Reyna, I saw the way her eyes narrowed on the female’s hand that was touching me.Quickly I brushed it off as if I had something to be guilty about. I didn’t get a chance to step back before she grabbed me with her other hand.

Reyna-We had our talk about things, but things still didn’t feel normal between us. I could tell that he was still distant from me. I kept trying to communicate with him, but mostly I gave him the space that he seemed to need.Walking through the ruined forest, we didn’t say much to each other. I could tell he was trying to force himself, but it was more as if he were simply going through the motions. I understood he was worried, as I was too, but it was different for him. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t seem to reach him.“Did you hear something?” Luka pulled me from my thoughts as he came to a stop.Before answering, I looked around and carefully listened. At first, I didn’t hear anything, but a few seconds later I heard what sounded like a horse whining. It sounded as if it were in pain, so I forgot to answer Luka as I rushed toward the sound.On the top of a hill, where there was a single large tree growing, covered in cherry blossoms, a group of Centaurs was attacking a b

Reyna-“Luka!” I screamed when Luka fell to the ground after being hit by the level nine Boss.I should have known that it wasn’t a promising idea to challenge the boss. Throughout the entire level, he seemed extremely distracted. He had insisted he was fine, but as soon as we reached the dungeon, I had a bad feeling that I couldn’t shake since we first started the level.It has been three days since reaching level nine and my worries have only increased with each quest and monster we came across. I kept trying to get him to open up to me, but every time I did, he pulled further away. I even went as far as whistling for the Pegasus, to see if that could put him in a better mood again.Now we were fighting against a Cyclops, near a river, at the base of a volcano. I did everything I could to protect Luka, but his actions were too reckless, and I couldn’t keep up. I wanted to rush toward Luka, as I noticed his health bar was dangerously low and he was dropping one percent by the minute.
Arcane Realm Chapter 45
Luka-Before Reyna hit the ground, I caught her and lifted her into my arms. At first, I thought it was weird that the system didn’t automatically log her out, but then I remembered she bypassed the safety features in her gear. With no other choice, I teleported the both of us to the home I built.Since we have been focused on defeating the game, she hasn’t been inside the house yet. The only time she is at the house is when we meet there, but then we go to whichever level we were at that time. This will be the first time she has stepped foot inside the house.After arriving at the piece of land we owned inside the game, I carried her inside the house. She slept soundly as I carried her up the stairs, to the second level, where there was only a large bedroom and master bathroom. During the design of the house, I didn’t think Reyna would end up sleeping inside the house.Although I had designed everything inside, with her in mind. The upstairs bedroom was surrounded by floor-to-ceilin

Luka-The scene that now laid before me was that of a park, where Zane and I were playing at. Except instead of being adults, we were just two bratty little ten-year-olds. At first, I was nothing more than a spectator, only able to watch what was happening around me, but still having the ability to think as an adult.“Are we going to play or not, Luka?” Zane asked, throwing a basketball in my direction. Just like that, I couldn’t even process anything as an adult, as I became the ten-year-old version of myself. “You are going to pay for that!” I half yelled and half laughed as I threw the ball away and chased after Zane.We ran around the playground for a while, just having fun and enjoying that for the first time in months, we didn’t have to train. I didn’t know why my mentor, Zane’s father, needed to come to this neighborhood, but I didn’t question it. Any chance I had that I didn’t need to worry about who I was meant to be or who my parents were, was a good day for me.Ever since
