Ch. 17
Raguna POV
"Well then what are we going to do?" Cinnamon asked
"I think we should go to the nearest Town. The map says is in that direction." I said pointing northwards from where we spawned.
"Ok." Cinnamon said and we started walking.
After a few minutes of walking we found a few monsters that spawned in the upper world.
"I thought no monsters would spawn in the over world." Cinnamon said getting ready for battle.
"I read online that some minor monsters would spawn. Only beginner level monsters. This is kinda like level 0 in this game." I explained.
"Ok. Then I supposed this is kinda the tutorial of the game." Cinnamon said
"That's right." I said and then a pause menu of some sort opened and started explaining the basics of the game.
"I see…" Cinnamon said almost as soon as the screen popped up.
"Ready?" I said only reading the first and last sentence of the tutorial message.
"Yeah." Cinnamon replied and then we both pushed the Tutorial end button.
The Boars started rushing at us and so we stepped out of the way.
"Try to counter this. They move kinda like the rats on the School dungeon." I said
"Ok…" Cinnamon said jumping over one of the boars. Once she landed she spun around and hit the tip of her staff.
"Cinnamon, I'll keep them busy. Until you find a better weapon you won't inflict enough damage to them. Try to find out how to use spells." I said and started throwing rocks at the Boars to get their attention.
Every boar started rushing me…I didn't like the idea any more…I stepped out of the way and jumped over many boars. I attacked only every other time when I saw a chance to attack. On one of my attempts to dodge and counter I slipped and fell. I was about to get hit but then the boar was hit by a fireball.
"Are you ok?" Cinnamon asked
"Thanks. So how is it? Do you think you can use it?" I asked referring to the Magic.
"Is not that hard. Although I have to call out the element I want, I can't just think about it."
"That's pretty annoying." I said "well then let's get to it." I finished and rushed the Boars.
Now that Cinnamon could attack I could be a bit more reckless. I struck as many Boars as I could trying to lower their health. Cinnamon gave backup magic, like creating an area of water under a certain spot and making whips of water hit the Boars to take them out. After a few minutes we finished the Boars and kept walking towards the Village.
We made it to town rather calmly. Everything in the village was very calming a soothing. The NPCs, although digital, were all very friendly and welcoming. Cinnamon and I went to the Shop and got some potions in case we needed them later.
"Hey Raguna. What time is it?" Cinnamon asked
"I don't know. Bu t we did take a while getting here." I said "Yo, Mist! What time is it?" I asked upwards.
"Is almost 8PM." Mist said.
"8PM?" Cinnamon said a bit shocked.
"Man that was quick. Then again we had to go through the setup." I said "Well then. We should log out." I said and opened the menu. Cinnamon did the same and we both logged out.
We started to wake up and we opened our eyes to see Mist waiting for us.
"Welcome back." She said
"Thank you." We both said and took off the Linkers.
"I should probably be going." Cinnamon said
"What are you talking about?" Mist asked
"I need to go home after all." Cinnamon said and we all walked out of my room.
Once in the living room we encountered both my parents.
"Hey Raguna. How was Linker?" Dad asked "Oh, and who might the young lady be?" he finished directing the question to Cinnamon.
"Hello there. My name is Cinnamon Weiss." Cinnamon said introducing herself.
"You mean you're the Daughter of Professor Weiss…Wait a second Now that I see you closely…" Dad said
"What's wrong dad?" I asked
"Nothing really." He said and stayed silent.
"Well what's the problem?" Mom asked
"I didn't know it was this late. I'll be returning home now." Cinnamon said
"This late?" Mom said. "Why don't you stay the night here? You can call your parents to let them know."
"I don't know. I don't want to be a nuisance." Cinnamon said
"Nonsense." Mom said and got the phone from its stand. "Here go right ahead. I'll get the Guest room ready."
"Man, Mom can be so pushy sometimes" I said
Cinnamon called her house and talked to her family. It sounded to me like her mother is the one who answered because the conversation was very calm. Suddenly…
"Raguna, if even think of trimming any flowers. Be ready for my new untested potion…" was heard from the receiving end of the phone.
Dad started Laughing like there was no tomorrow after hearing this.
"No problem sir!" I replied
Cinnamon hung up the phone and handed it back to my dad.
"Well then. How would you like something to eat?" Dad said
"Thank you very much." Cinnamon said
Dad took us to the Dining table and got a couple plates for us.
"Here you go." Dad said and started putting some Spaghetti and meatballs on out plates.
"Oh yeah today was Spaghetti and meatball night." I said
"Enjoy." Dad said and walked out the Dining room. "I'll go drop off Mist."
Cinnamon and I started eating and when we were done Cinnamon thank me for the food, and we went to the guest room.
"Here you are." I said and opened the door to the room.
The room was a simple room with just a bed and a center table in it.
"It isn't much, but I hope it's comfortable." I said
"Thank you." Cinnamon said and put her things down next to the bed.
"Hey you two…" My mom said coming up to us. "…The bath is ready. I suggest you decided who goes in first."
"I don't have a change of clothes." Cinnamon said.
"It's ok. I can give you something to sleep in and wash your uniform by tomorrow morning." Mom said
"Thank you." Cinnamon said
"You should go in first. Is only right for the lady to be first in this kind of things." I said and walked to my room.
After about half an hour Cinnamon knocked and came in through my door.
"The Bath is ready. You can go in now." Cinnamon said
"Thanks." I said and got up from my bed and I saw her. She was wearing a Light green sent of Pajama pants and Top. Her hair was down completely and it seemed really…really silky.
"Wow…" I started "…You look…Beautiful…" I said out of instinct.
"Thank you." Cinnamon said blushing madly.
"In any case. I'll be going to the bath now." I said trying to take my mind out of the current situation.
After I got out of the bath I just went to my room and went to sleep. The next morning Cinnamon and I met in the Dining room and had some breakfast. And then it was off to school. On the way to school Mist caught up with me as usual and the three of us kept on our way to school. When we made it to class everyone gathered around my desk, boys and girls alike.
"How was the game man?" "Were the Linker epic?" "What class did you take?" were questions asked by the guys in the class
"Did everything look as beautiful as they said it would?" was the most frequent question asked by the girls.
"The game is amazing. Here are some screen shots of it." I said and pulled out my phone to show them the pics I recorded in it. "I chose the Swordsman class like in the tournament. And here are the linkers." I said and showed the Pics of my Linkers.
"Linkers? I thought it was only one." Erik said
"They sent a second Linker. The Second version of it in fact." I added and showed the pics of both Linker sets. "And this is the best part. Having two sets actually lets me play two players on the same system. Cinnamon and I played yesterd-" I said but cut myself off.
"So wait…You and Cinnamon played Dungeon Crawler together with your new Linker Sets." Erik said
"Wait a second. Raguna and Cinnamon got to school together and from the same direction…" another guy said.
"Doesn't Cinnamon lives near the shopping district? I thought that was in the opposite direction of Raguna's house…" a girl said
'Aw…Shit…' I said to myself.
"Cinnamon and Raguna stopped playing too late yesterday so she spent the night at his place." Mist said
"WHAT!" everyone yelled
'Damn it' I cursed to myself.
