Arcane Realm Chapter 42
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.
Arcane Realm Chapter 43
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
Arcane Realm Chapter 44
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

Reyna-A week later, I was sitting in a conference room at work, where we were having a meeting. I wasn’t paying attention to what was going on. I knew it had to do with the company policy, but I was too distracted.I kept running the past few days through my head, trying to figure out what to make of everything. Luka had been extra attentive toward me, which was making me a little weirded out. I expected it wouldn’t be long before he started behaving strangely again.He seemed to be in a better mood, yet I couldn’t leave it alone. I should be happy that he wasn’t on the verge of self-destruction, but for how long? That wasn’t the only thing bothering me, it was also that we have been stuck on level eleven for an entire week.We have already faced off against the Boss multiple times, but each time we end up timing out and getting kicked out of the Boss fight. This was the first time I have experienced this. The Boss was a multi-elemental winged hydra.In the beta version, there was a

Reyna-Two hours into the drive and Zane has yet to say a word. I thought about what I could ask him, but everything I produced sounded suspicious even in my head. We were currently listening to the radio, which oddly was one of my favorite stations.I wouldn’t have thought that we would have anything in common with each other. At first, I thought he had chosen the station because of me, but he sang along flawlessly. Every so often I would sneak a glance at him, trying to figure out what it was about him that I was suspicious of. The only thing I had to work with was the bad feeling I had and how Luka had responded. The more I tried to figure it out, the more I didn’t understand why Zane would trap his best friend. Looking at him from the passenger seat, he seemed innocent.“I need to go to the bathroom. How about you?” Zane spoke his first words after turning off the radio.“I am fine.”A few minutes later, Zane took an exit off the interstate and pulled into a truck stop. He parke
Arcane Realm Chapter 49
Reyna-As soon as Kaige and I left the hospital and we were on the road, I reconnected the audio transmitter. Admitting to Luka that I had lied hadn’t been easy, but at least he didn’t seem upset with me. Since I wanted him to know what was going on as well, I had to tell the truth.I debated at first if I should tell him, but Kaige convinced me to tell him. The conversation would have been better to have face-to-face, but that currently wasn’t an option. The only good thing to come out of this entire situation was that I now knew what Luka had been trying to hide. Also, I didn’t need to log into the game, which meant Luka was potentially safe for the time being.On the drive back to Kaige’s house, I told them everything that happened. Once I was finished, Luka finally admitted to me that Zane was the one behind everything. He also told me that Zane was the reason he kept his distance from me.Some of the things that I felt were important for Kaige to know, I repeated them as Luka exp

Reyna-We arrived back at Wolf Tech, entering through the back entrance to avoid the angered crowd out front. Neither of us wanted to avoid them, but until we knew what was going on, it was better to not expose ourselves yet. Since leaving the airport, Luka hasn’t said much.He has been on his phone trying to reach out to staff. No one had answered, except for Jake, who had said he would come in to help us figure out what was going on. Kaige and a few members of his pack were also on the way to help.When the elevator doors opened, we were shocked by what we saw. Staff members were running around like crazy. Papers were scattered everywhere. Phones were ringing nonstop. People were shouting left and right. It was utter chaos.“We need to get everyone under control.” I rushed forward to try to get everyone to stop, but suddenly Luka grabbed my arm and pulled me back.“Leave them for now, we should go lock ourselves in my office for now while we figure out what happened. Everyone is in
Arcane Realm Chapter 70: It isn't over...
Reyna-Over the next couple of days, I let Ameria plan everything according to her vision. I was happy to be included in everything, but I didn’t feel the stress that came with being the bride. If anything, I felt the bliss of being the bride.I was looking forward to when Luka saw me walking toward him in my mother’s wedding dress, which Ameria altered. Instead of having her tweak it to fit my style, I wanted it to be as similar to the dress my mother had worn. Since my mother couldn’t be here, I wanted to feel as if she was with me.During the days leading up to the wedding, I barely spent any time with Luka. We saw each other every day, but planning a wedding in such a fleeting time wasn’t easy. Yet, as I stood in what used to be my living room, I looked around and felt as if a million butterflies were fluttering in my stomach.In the center of the room, there were chairs lined up, with a buffet table in front of them. Instead of having chairs moved when it was time to eat, we deci
Arcane Realm Chapter 69: The future begins
Reyna-I was all smiles when Luka and I exited the game together. Well, not exactly together. He asked me to wait three minutes before I left the game. He wouldn’t tell me why though. The moment I opened my eyes, it wasn’t just because Luka logged out successfully.He was kneeling in front of me, holding a box with a stunning diamond ring. The diamond wasn’t too big, but it was large enough that I could see how identical it was to the ring he gave me in the game. My jaw went slack, as I hadn’t thought he had prepared a ring. His memory had only just returned.“What is this?” I couldn’t take my eyes off the ring.“Did you think I wouldn’t give you a ring once we were out of the game?”“I mean, I figured you would, but not so quickly. This had to have taken time to prepare, as it is a replica of the ring I had worn in the game.” Turning my surprised expression onto him, I saw he was smiling. “How is this possible?”“I designed the ring first. It was my inspiration for the game. Although
Arcane Realm Chapter 68
Reyna- “Everything is now officially over.” Luka’s voice sent warmth through me. Just when I had given up on any hope of having him back, he returned to me. Being in his arms like this was something I had missed and never thought I would feel again. Did he really remember though? Sniffling a few times, I loosened my hold on him. He didn’t let me go, but he unwrapped one of his arms from my waist and reached up to touch the side of my face. The heat from his breath as he pulled back just enough to look at me, helped calm me. “Do you truly remember?” My voice shook slightly as I tried to stop crying. “I remember everything. I remember the first time I met you when you hurt yourself at the park as a child, when I met you again at the hospital, everything we went through in the game, and so much more. I am sorry I made you suffer this last week.” Luka caressed my cheek tenderly. “It isn’t your fault. I should be the one to apologize. I was ready to walk away from you. I shouldn’t hav
Arcane Realm Chapter 67
Luka-Finally, the press conference was over. Returning to my office, I closed the door behind me. For two straight hours, I had to answer question after question. I didn’t think it would ever end until Jake stepped forward and informed them that any further questions could be emailed to the Secretary.Shrugging my suit jacket off, I hung it on the hook by the door, before going to my desk. I expected to see a resignation letter, but there wasn’t one. Perhaps she had changed her mind. Smiling, I sat down on my chair and turned slightly to face my computer.It wasn’t that I had wanted her to leave, but I was confused. It was clear she was my mate, but I didn’t remember anything about her. I have been racking my brain trying to find any connection to her, but there wasn’t one.Until I was able to find the underlying cause of everything or remember something about her, I needed to keep my distance. Every time I was around her, I was unable to concentrate on anything. That was the real re
Arcane Realm Chapter 66
Reyna-“I guess.” He murmured.Luka’s hand fell from his neck, and he shoved it into the front pocket of his pants. I could sense that something was bothering him, but I didn’t get a chance to ask him. Jake arrived with a folder for Luka.“Here is the speech you wanted me to print.” Jake passed the folder to Luka.The level of awkwardness in the air was enough to suck the breath out of me. Jake must have sensed it too, because he shifted from one foot to the other as if he were debating on leaving or staying. Forcing a smile, I decided that now wasn’t the time to figure out what was going on between Luka and me.Glancing at the clock on the wall, I moved across the room, stopping briefly to grab my phone off my desk. “We should head down now. The press is expecting us in ten minutes.”Luka grunted his approval as if it were business as usual and walked away without a word. Jake eyed me curiously, but I simply shook my head. Until I could figure it out, there was no way I could begin t
Arcane Realm Chapter 65: One Week Later
Reyna-“Can you believe it? Luka just walked in as if he hasn’t been missing all this time.” My best friend Ameria sat on my desk, facing the large window of my new office. A full week has passed since Luka left the game and lost his memory. Well, he forgot about me, but he remembered everything else. The most he could remember was that someone had helped him in the game but couldn’t recall details.I tried explaining to him that I was his mate, but he didn’t believe me. He said that he felt something weird toward me, but he couldn’t explain it. I tried to tell him everything about our past, but no matter what I said, he didn’t remember anything.The more I tried explaining, the more agitated he became. It was weird that I was the only one he didn’t remember. He could remember every detail about everyone else, including Kaige. My brother had failed to help me, so Luka ended up leaving his house.I had returned to work and the entire company had been in shambles. An email from Luka w

Reyna-A low growl echoed around the room a second later and I recognized it instantly. Before I could look over at Jake and Luka, a large black wolf slammed into the side of Zane’s wolf. Freed at last, I quickly moved to my feet.Zane and a back wolf were currently in a full-fledged fight. Seeing Luka’s wolf in the flesh, I almost let out a squeal of delight. To confirm that the black wolf was Luka, I glanced over at where Luka had been lying. His body was no longer there. Only Jake remained, looking utterly stunned.Feeling that I would only get in the way, I backed up to give the two wolves room to fight. They moved quickly, but I managed to follow their movements with my eyes. At first, Zane had the upper hand, but it didn’t take long for Luka to overpower Zane.Seeing them fight in the real world felt unreal. When Zane’s wolf lashed out at Luka, blood spurted from a wound. For a split second, I thought about getting a potion but then remembered that we weren’t in the game.For th

Reyna-“It is done.” Luka said a few minutes later.He was now facing me, standing with his arms relaxed at his sides. The world around us was breaking down and disappearing little by little. Even if Luka seemed completely relaxed, seeing everything break apart and disappear was unsettling.“Just like that?” My gaze shifted from one thing to another, before it disappeared before my eyes. “Did you destroy the game?”“No, it is just being reset completely and rebuilt according to my code. Everything will go back to the way it was meant to be. We do need to leave the game before everything disappears.” Luka stepped forward and took my hand in his.“Can we log out now?” I looked at him expectantly. This all seemed too easy.“Yes. Everything will be fine now. I just need you to log out first and I will be behind you shortly after.”A smile lit up his face and I felt a wave of excitement flow through me. Was it truly over? After all this time, was it really that simple? Well, not entirely.
