(Later that night…)

After hanging out with the rest of them, talking, and having a little fun, they were now refreshed, and free from all the tension that the incident in Their world had put on them.

“Two worlds, one statue window, and we will be able to access it in that place as well.”

“Do you think we will be able to connect to the game without a Chariot? How cool would that be?”

Alex was a tech nerd.

She was crazy when it came to tech and equipment, and software, and hardware, and AI and practically anything related to the technology through which one can access the virtual world of not just <NO>, but also the entire virtual network that had become integrated into their society a long time ago.

“Thinking about it, it would certainly be cool, yes.”

She was excited about what was going to happen when the countdown that was going off in their world came to an end.

She was looking forward to seeing what happens when the collision of a virtual world and a physical world comes to a stop.

“Will we be able to use skills and items from the game? Will we be able to use the inventory at least?

I think the Friendzone and the other features will work normally, but do you think it will be possible for the Natives to come to our world after the collision?”

The two of them were flying outside.

Yes… they were floating in the air, above the vast capital city of the kingdom of Viv, watching the twinkling stars in the sky, watching the pretty moon, feeling the soft breeze in the atmosphere.

The city was pretty lively even though it was so late at night.

There were people, most of them being merchants that were preparing for tomorrow, or children that were playing around or their parents who were watching them.

Students who were studying, aspiring mages who were practicing in the big training grounds that were open for anyone that wanted to use them.

There was no particular incident taking place tonight. The crime rate in the capital was already low, but with the things happening— the disappearance of all the foreigners and the chaos that was caused by the incident- the security had been made even tighter.

There were some crimes happening in the shadows, and they were being taken care of by the players who had received their own quests, or by the guard assassins that protected this city from the shadows.

“Haaa… I don’t know what will happen when that countdown ends.”

He had no idea. But, at the very least, he was looking forward to it.

There was no other thing that they could do other than being prepared for the worst, like many people around the world were actually doing.

This situation was something the humans could not understand. It was something unfamiliar to them… and mortality is always worry of what it could not understand.

“We will be going back as well.”

“We have to… mom was screaming when I last called her, saying the apocalypse might happen. Haha.”

His mother, the person he respected the most.

She had been worried about them, worried about what would happen to them.

“She had never played <NO> but thanks to uncle and brother, she knows the game well.

She thinks those who have played the game are going to be in trouble when that strange countdown ends.

Haha, she even went to some shaman and they told her that an Amber Omen is upon them.”

His mom was a fun person. Even though she had not seen him for a while now, she always called him, and they talked for hours.

There were only two people that he talked that much aside from Alex actually: Olive and his mom.

His dad was a busy person so the talk between them wasn’t that frequent, but he loved him more than the rest of them. He was also the reason he was able to do whatever he wanted.

His sister took care of things back home so he was able to live as he wanted. But, now that something so big had happened anyway, they had no choice but to go back sooner than they had expected.

“She’ll be happy to see we have yet to be Possessed by some weird evil spirit, haha. She’s so fun~.”

Alex and his mom had a unique relationship.

Opposite to her relationship with Olive’s dad, the one that she had his mom had was that of a friend’s.

They were pretty opposite when it came to worldly things.

“Haha, she sure is a headache though.”

A retired archer, one of the best in history, his mom was someone from a common background like Alex.

Though she did have parents, they passed away while she was growing up and she had carried herself after them.

She was an old school person, opposite of Olive’s mom. She was like those grandmas that they see in the older movies actually.

“She doesn’t know much about technology, she is overly affectionate, she’s transparent, and she cares about her grown up child as if he’s still a kid.”

The story of his parents’ relationship was a fun thing as well, and perhaps when they go back this time, they will remember those old days as well.

Perhaps.

They didn’t know how things would go after they went back since the situation in that world was getting increasingly chaotic for people who were more focused on that world instead of this one.

Unlike their concerns of whether skills would become reality or if the natives will be able to cross over the worlds or not, the people like his family, even Olive’s family were concerned about what will happen to them.

With the increasing chaos, with the increased dark news that was spreading and a shit ton of misinformation that people were using in order to gain an advantage in the Markets, things didn’t look bright for any of them.

Since none of them knew what was going to happen, they did not know what they were going to do when that timer stops and something they didn’t want to happen… actually happens.

But…

“Haaa. We will have a lot to explain to her…”

“You will have a lot to explain, haha. She knows my way of explaining is too complicated so I’m not going to be in trouble~.”

They were going to go back to their family, and in a scenario where pretty much anything could happen, sticking together was the best thing to do instead of being separated by two whole states…
