”Getting on my nerves already, I just need a place without humans so I could finish the job and head back” the blond girl sighed and walked forward.

20 minutes later Alex arrived at the train station, the train he was going to board was the next train to move and he quickly walked towards the counter.

The counter was covered in glass leaving only a small space where Alex could slide his hands in.

“1 ticket to Winterville, Northfrost” Alex said to the young man standing behind the counter wearing a blue suit.

The man clicked on his computer and looked at Alex, Alex slid his credit card to the man and he was handed a ticket along with his credit card.

Alex boarded the train and sat close to the window with his eyes closed, he kept his bag close to him as he sat down.

‘I’m definitely going to be bored, maybe I should just log in and play for a while’ Alex smiled as he opened his eyes.

The time was currently 11:40 am and the train ride would take at least 7-8 hours so Alex looked at his phone to calculate the time he would spend playing the game.

‘So I have seven hours before the train would arrive, that’s enough time to log in and do little things before I log out’

Alex brought out his helmet from his bag and looked around the train, no one was looking at him and the train wasn’t full to it capacity as more people were still boarding the train.

Alex carefully put on the helmet and as soon a she did, the blond girl from earlier sat beside him, there were two seats there and she occupied the second one.

“This is the game that Aaron made, I should try it” the girl muttered as she touched Alex’s helmet.

Alex opened his eyes and he was back at Melmond city, he was in front of the potion shop where he left off earlier. He could check the time in the real world so he wasn’t going to be late.

‘Okay first off, I should check all the shops again to see if they have any new items’ Alex mumbled.

‘I’ll start from the merchant’s shop’ Alex turned around to head towards the merchant’s shop but he stopped as someone familiar stood in front of him.

“You…you are that weird girl from the eatery,” Alex said as he saw the blond girl.

She wore an all black attire and tied a black clothing on her head, her blond hair was tied by a band at the back of her head, she almost looked like a warrior from the Joseon dynasty.

“Huh! weird…you keep getting on my nerves, you know that right, how am I weird?” the girl said angrily.

“You told me you met a handsome human 60 years ago, I’m not even sure you are up to 20, isn’t that weird” Alex asked.

“Is that so, well hi” she smiled.

Alex looked at the information hovering over her head and he moved back a little, her name was ‘Naka’ and she was a level 21 player.

“What’s wrong, are you shocked at my level” she spoke with a smile.

“You are at level 21, how come you are still in this city, you are strong enough to visit other places” Alex said.

“I enjoy staying here, and besides you can earn lots of XP here, have you ever killed an NPC?”

“Yes, back when I was in the newbie village” Alex replied.

“Back then NPC were all low leveled, imagine killing a level 50 or 70 NPC, the amount of XP you would receive would drop your Jaws” the girl said.

“You are right, but the HP of a level 50 NPC would be a little too high, and killing an NPC in the city is dangerous”

“But how do you think I’m at level 21, going into the forest to hunt for other players is fun but the gains and XP are too low because they are all low leveled, but 1 NPC would give you a considerable amount of XP”

“Wait…we just met why are you telling me all this, most players would keep such knowledge to themselves” Alex asked.

“I love handsome boys, they make my body all tingling” she said with a smug smile on her face.

“It’s getting weird again,” Alex said and she nodded.

“First, what class are you in?”

“Assassin” she simply replied.

“Same as me, what weapons do you use, and before that, what skill did you choose as your first?” Alex asked.

Alex still hasn’t made a decision concerning his skill, if he chooses the wrong skill now it could end up affecting his gameplay in the future, so he wanted to be extra careful.

“I chose the shadow camouflage,” the girl said.

“Why?”

“Think about it, the normal camouflage is almost useless, but it can help you escape once a day, that is if you haven’t used it earlier, and the critical impact have only a 3% chance to activate, so you’ll have to battle for a long time before it can activate”

“What if you are killed before then, so I chose shadow camouflage”

“But the shadow camouflage is completely useless during the day, you know that right?” Alex asked.

“Yes I know, but at night you can take down a level 50 NPC with just a dagger from the shadows” the girl said and Alex held his chin.

‘Wait…why am I helping him when he’s going to die, well he should enjoy the game to the fullest extent before dying so let’s stick with that’

“I’ll still think about it before choosing,” Alex said.

“Let’s go hunting, it’s fun to kill newbies” a wide smile was plastered on her face.

“You are really ruthless, but I need to get new equipment before going hunting so you can go on”

“I’ll come with you, where are you heading?” she asked.

“Did you know I was here all along?” Alex asked, he was surprised at her actions.

“Huh! did you think I was following you, I logged in and was walking around then I was you and came over”

“You knew my name, how did you know my name?”

“Someone at your school, I asked them about you and they told me your name, the boys there are quite friendly”

“That’s because they are trying to flirt with you, I’m going to the merchant shop and you don’t have to come with me, you can continue playing,” Alex said.

“It’s no big deal so I’m coming with you, I also need knives from the merchant, I lost most of mine”

“You lost your knives, how did you lose them?” Alex asked.

“I threw them and I ended up not being able to find them, that’s one of the problems with throwing knives, you need to buy them in large quantities”

“Throwing knives? You know how to throw knives?” Alex asked almost immediately.

“Yes, is something wrong, you sound like you found your lost soulmate, or am I your lost soul…”

“Pfff…I just asked if you could throw knives?” Alex sneered.

“Yes yes I know how to throw knives, and don’t think of telling me to teach you” the girl snorted back.

“I was just joking, it was a joke,” Alex said with a smile.

“Oooo…you do want me to teach you, too bad I can’t teach you, you’ll have to change that attitude of yours first” the girl faced away and smirked, she was enjoying her time with Alex as they walked towards the merchant’s shop.

“I’m sorry, I was just joking” Alex spoke in a barely audible voice.

“I didn’t hear you, what did you say?” the girl asked despite hearing him.

“I say I’m…you know what forget it, I’m going to learn it anyway” Alex frowned his face and increased his steps.

“Wait…I said wait” the girl shouted as she ran after Alex.
