New Life Online 48 Crystal Cave

Ugh, we were trapped inside the cave.

"Hey, Scy! Look at this!" Elou excitedly said.

Wow. This place is magnificent. The place is surrounded by crystals that shine throughout the whole place. The light we saw came out from these crystals, just how much we could earn if we sell these crystals. They were also awed by the appearance of the place. There are no monsters around. Maybe it was still undiscovered that's why even monsters can't visit this place.

We checked the place and we found that this place is really wide. There are several ways that lead to other paths but this wide pa.s.sage is kind of weird. It's unnatural to have a pa.s.sage this wide. It was like the dungeon we explored in the forest but we found a Chimera instead. I've got a bad feeling about this.

"Hey Scy, I think it's better to log out for a bit and explore the place later," Elou suggested as we all are hungry right now.

"Sure, let's go back first to the entrance, this place doesn't look normal," I answered.

After we arrived at the entrance, it was still closed up. Our supply here could still last a day so we don't have a problem overnight but if it still doesn't open that would be a bad news for us. A character can also die from starvation and re-sp.a.w.n to a friendly place.

We logged out from the game and decided to meet again after two hours.

-Aries' Home-

Hmmm, I missed the show "What's New in New Life Online" because it's already eight pm. Jeez. Even the girls are still playing. I called them out and we started having our dinner.

"So how's your day, guys?" I asked them to lighten up the mood.

"Well it was fine, we managed to level up quite fast which is really good. We are preparing for the next tournament. The tournament will start after four days," Hmmm, that's weird. When I started playing the game they said we still have two weeks to prepare but Mari said we only have four days left.

"Oh, is that so. I think, we still have around a week to prepare? But you mentioned earlier that it would be four days left? I am kind of confused Sis," I asked her and really want to know the answer.

"Oh, you are right Bro. But because of the conflict between Ravens, our Guild Leader decided to start the tournament early this month. The Game Admins also talked to our Guild Leader because the previous schedule is the exact anniversary of the game which the new expansion will be released. The change also was already broadcast on the news earlier," Oh, that's bad news for us. With our current level, we might have a problem fighting with those high-level players.

"Well, thanks for the info, Sis," I said while still thinking how to train within three days.

"You really look serious Bro, are you going to partic.i.p.ate in the tournament?" she asked curiously.

"Oh, yes. I just want to try it out but I think my level is not that great," I answered back.

"Aw... what's your level right now? It's been a week since you started playing right?" She asked. Oh, that's right. I still haven't checked my level. I'll check it out later.

"My current level is around 160. I focused on leveling up my masteries. Haha," I think that's my current level now.

"Wow, that's great. When you asked me days ago, my level was 300 but now after those fight with Scythus party, sleepless hunting and exhausting training with Azzie, I reached 350." She replied. Wow, that's really high. She's almost at 400 already.

"That's great Sis. I should probably train more,"

"Ok Bro, we are going to play now. See you tomorrow. Goodnight!" She said while they walked away and entered the room.

I also should log in now. They might be already waiting for me.

-Inside the Crystal Cave-

"Welcome back Scy! How was your dinner?" Akko welcomed me.

"Well, ok I guess. So what are you guys up to?" I asked because the moment I entered the game they are already training.

"Oh, it is just simple training. We leveled up really good this time. From the last time I checked my level it was 115 before the forest exploration but now it's already level 165," She explained. What the heck? Already 165? That's unbelievable.

"Holy c.r.a.p! How about Lili and Elou?" I asked.

"Oh, mine's level 160" Elou replied.

"My total level now is 155 as well," Lili said.

"Wow, that's great. The fight with Orcs and our training really boosted our masteries," I said.

"Let me check mine," I said while they still are doing their training.

Wow, already level 180! I leveled up more than I expected. Just how the heck did I do that?! This was awesome. This is why I managed to fight Zeth the last time.

"So what's your level Scy?" Elou asked.

"Oh, it is level 180 as well. I never thought we could rank up this fast." I replied to him.

"Well if we haven't met you. We might still be weaklings. For some reason, we always get in trouble when we're with you so maybe that's the reason. Haha," We just laughed and rest for a bit.

We ate some food to replenish our hunger and rest for our fatigue. We still can't believe that we were trapped inside this cave covered in shiny crystals. We haven't touch anything yet because we still don't know what the crystals are for.

We chitchatted for a bit and we also talked about the plan for tomorrow. After all that, we decided to explore the place and go deep inside the cave.

"Let's Go, Fellas!" Elou excitedly shouted, as always.
