“Yes and don’t be surprised, I’m just trying to do something or I’ll be bored,” Alex said.

“There’s a huge gym left of here, I’m surprised you are going to a gym, you have a good body but you still want to go to the gym, I hope you aren’t going there to look for girls?” she asked.

“Girls, why would I look for girls in the gym, there’s a beautiful girl at the house over there,” Alex said.

“Huh!! You like the girl in the next house?” Alisha asked as she and Ariana climbed down the stairs.

“What!! I didn’t say I liked her, I just said there’s a beautiful girl, I don’t like her” Alex shouted.

“But why are you shouting, and besides I’ve never seen you call a girl beautiful except…”

“Alisha it’s okay, let’s go” Alex’s mum spoke.

“Bye,” Alex said as they left the house.

“Gym…gym…gym… I’m really bored and tired, now that the game is being updated, I’m really really bored, I’ll visit the gym tomorrow” Alex said as he sat on the couch and turned the TV on.

He had other games on his computer he could play but none of them could hold a candle to Nova Online so he didn’t bother.

“Future company wanted to do an interview to talk about the new game, I wonder why they canceled the interview,” Alex said and immediately his mind went to Melissa.

“I can’t believe she’s Huntress, one of the top 5 players, and she gets paid 5,000 in a month, I need to get stronger and race to the top, and she also knows about the shadow potion”

“I wonder what would happen if players use the shadow potion, for NPCs after continues usage they turn into mindless killers, but that can’t happen to a player,” Alex thought before hearing a knock on the door.

*Knock Knock*

Alex opened the door and was surprised to see Melissa standing there with something in her hands.

“H-Hi,” she said without looking at Alex.

“Hey,” Alex simply said.

“I brought this for you, I wanted to thank you for helping me yesterday, my mum baked a cake,” Melissa said as she stretched her hands toward Alex.

She wore a face mask and still, she couldn’t look Alex in the face, now that it was morning her face was more visible so she didn’t want Alex to look at her.

“Why are you facing away,” Alex said as he brought his face close to her.

Melissa flinched and moved away as Alex was standing close to her, “I’m sorry, I can’t help it” she said in a low voice.

“Is this still about your face, I told you nothing is wrong with your face, you look beautiful” Alex said.

Melissa’s face turn bright red again and a smile formed underneath her mask, slowly she raised her head up and look at Alex who was smiling at her.

“See, that’s not so hard, thanks for the cake,” Alex said as he collected it from her.

“Isn’t this too much, I can’t possibly eat all of this, do you want to come in?” Alex asked.

‘Fuck…what am I thinking’ Alex cursed inwardly.

“C-Come in…I would love to come in but I’m not really good with people, and going to your room would be…” Melissa looked downward with a smile on her face, this time her redness was more visible.

“I’m alone, and if you don’t want to come in, it’s not a problem, thanks again for the cake,” Alex said as he turned around.

‘Good she doesn’t want to come in, even if she comes in, we have nothing to talk about’ Alex sighed softly.

“I have some time to spare, since you are alone I can stay for a while,” Melissa said.

“Huh!! Oh–Okay” Alex said, he was surprised she was willing to come in.

‘Oh my god, what am I thinking, he’s alone and I’m going in, what if he does something to me, I won’t be able to resist’ Melissa said under her breath as she walked in.

“Wow, your house is really beautiful, the designs are really nice,” Melissa said looking around.

“That’s what I thought when I saw it” Alex replied.

Melissa looked around for a while before sitting down on one of the couches in the living room, Alex placed the cake on a small table and brought two small plates along with knives.

The cake Melissa brought was too big even for two people and Alex wasn’t a cake lover but Ariana his sister would probably finish the cake on her own if given the chance.

Alex and Melissa each took small slices of the cake and ate in silence, the TV was on but none of them focused on the TV.

“My Dad gave me a gold-quality helmet yesterday night,” Alex said hoping o start a conversation.

“Really, that’s great but you are already a player so you won’t get the starting rewards like increased skill points or level, you’ll only get increased XP for some days,” Melissa said.

“I wasn’t really expecting to receive the reward, I was just excited about the helmet, but the increases XP would be a great advantage because I’m going to war the moment the game updates”

“War…but you are still in the bronze continent, which kingdoms are at war?” Melissa asked.

“Not that kind of war, I just have enemies to kill, that’s all” Alex chuckled.

“Oh, I thought it was a real war, last time I participated in a war, I was almost killed, it was brutal” Melissa spoke.

“But I know you killed a lot of people right, you are Huntress after all”

“Little advice, if you are going to attack a lot of enemies, use the XP boost potion, you’ll level up really fast, but the price of the potion gets more expensive the more you move on, so buy a lot now before you get to the Silver continent”

“I have enough money so that’s not a problem,” Alex said.

“To have enough, your in-game money can never be enough, they are still things you won’t be able to buy,” Melissa said.

“With 1M blue coins?” Alex asked.

“Huh! You have 1M blue coins, that’s impossible, I’ve never saved up to that amount, how did you gather such an amount of money and you haven’t even been to the Silver continent?” Melissa asked.

“I won first place in an underground arena match, do you know the Coliseum, I was given a pass to the Coliseum,” Alex said.

“The coliseum is a large arena where battles are held, to participate in the main tournament, smaller tournaments are held and the winners would participate in the coliseum, all the top players usually participate,” Melissa said with a smile.

“Have you participated before?”

“No, this is the first time, the coliseum is just a month away which means it’s roughly two weeks in real-time, would you be able to attend, you know it’s taking place in the Gold Continent”

“I know, it’s still weeks away and by then I’ll be one of the top players,” Alex said.

“Okay, I hope you don’t come across any of the top players before then, even though they are top players, they are ruthless so you’ll have to be careful,” Melissa said.

“I have nothing to worry about, Huntress would protect me,” Alex said with a smile.

Melissa smiled as she ate a slice of the cake, she was surprised she wasn’t shy when speaking to Alex, though that was because they were talking about Nova Online that’s why.

‘Why hasn’t he done anything, I thought when a boy and a girl are alone the boy always makes a move, or he probably doesn’t think of me as a girl’ Melissa pouted.

“Is something wrong?” Alex asked.

“Do you see me as a girl?” Melissa asked without realizing, “You don’t need to answer, I’m sorry for asking you” Melissa covered her face in embarrassment.

“Why won’t I see you as a girl, you are beautiful and have an amazing shape along with your*clear throat*” Alex cleared his throat and looked away.

“Huh! Wait… he’s blushing” Melissa mumbled as she looked at her chest, a large smile formed on her face.

“Do you have a girlfriend?” Melissa closed her eyes and asked.
