Author's Quick Note: Good day Dragon Quest Readers! I am so sorry for not updating this story for too long. I have been busy with my other projects as well as other things. I have tried to update this, but there's always something up. Thank you for reading this story. Well, on to the show.Chapter 5
Yoshiki walked down the muddy path towards the forest, looking at his sarroundings. It was impossible to realize this was all part of a highly advanced game. The trees looked very lifelike, as well as the nearby streams. It truly felt like he was walking on a path that was in the middle of a park with no cars, no planes flying over head. It was a totally new experience for him. And his friend Luca... he wanted to go home to his family. They were digital, but they were real people that were somewhow in a forbidden realm untouched by the outside world. Yoshiki didn't like to think too much, but he did worry. This place would be harmed by the wicked men from outside. If a hacker could destory this world... heaven forbid those thoughts. Yoshiki knew that this Nadja, the evil wizard was part of that hack. Yoshiki sat down to think on a rock, not too far from a stream.
As long as Yoshiki can remember, he was raised in a Christian household. He believed that the world and the life in it was created by God. And only God can create life. Men cannot. No matter how science made it look, Yoshiki came to the sad realization that no matter how real the people in this world was, they were still man made fictional characters in a video game. And what's worse, going back to the beginning of Yoshiki's thoughts, Man can do great harm to this fictional world. The hackers were a prime example. On the other hand, Luca wanted to be part of this world to stay with people that he cared about. Yoshiki felt sad knowing that if Luca were to stay, he would not see him again. But he knew what he must do. He had to make sure his friend stayed with his family. Unless... no. Yoshiki pushed the idea away. What if... no. Yoshiki didn't even dare to think about it. And if it were the case, would it even be possible? Possible for them to live in the real world instead of living here? Yoshiki was not the type of thinker who would go beyond his limits of thinking. But somehow... Yoshiki felt this was very forbidden all the same. But his heart told him otherwise. Luca had to stay with his family. He loved them and Yoshiki wanted to help him stay there in that lovely new world. Man made or not, this was his choice. Yoshiki accepted it, and perhaps he knew that. In that moment, his thoughts were interrupted by Luca.
"Are you coming for dinner?" asked Luca cheerfully holding his son on his shoulders.
Yoshiki smiled. "Yeah! I'll be there."
