Reliving The Past ~ Mage Of The Abyss 19 Chapter 14 ~ Return

***

Back to the dusty, messed up, wrecked domain people call the girl's room. The capsule is now beeping as it hushing out a chilling air from underneath its white metallic plate. Its lid sliding aside and then a hand emerged from it.

Slowly raising high, the hand then grabbed onto the capsule's edge, using it as a force and propel its owner up from the depth of the capsule. Turns out, it's Sio— "It's f.u.c.kING COLD DAMMIT!"

Shivering from the chilling atmosphere, S-Siola rushed in getting out of the capsule and stumbled flat on the ground, "Guh, whoever did this to me, I swear I'll kill you!"

A wind magically pa.s.sed her by, "Brrr, f.u.c.k, so cold."

She holds her ground back and dashed toward the bathroom to have a warm shower.

Previously, at the time she was in-game. Siola noticed that the time is almost up for her to do a quick recharge for the capsule. So, she went into the Meditate Mode as she called it. Closing her eyes and concentrating her will on one single thing, mumbling about something, saying that she wants to log out.

And then...

A buzzing noise came from the [Notification], it appeared upfront and asking her if she was sure that she wants to log out of the game, she answered yes and then in a moment, she logged out instantly. Then after a few minutes of desynchronization…

… here we are.

*snap *snap

Siola is snapping her fingers away while dancing like an idiot in front of a mirror. "Oh, she don't see, the light that shining. Deeper than eyes can find it…"

Her voice is so terri— Her voice is so wonderful. Perfectly aligning with each rhythm that she spits out. They keep hitting the right mark of it. "Maybe we have made her blind, so she tries to cover up her pain…" touching her cheek in the mirror, "Cause covergirls don't cry, after their face is made, but…"

She yells the song pa.s.sionately, moving around going, "OoOooooOooOOOH"

Siola then looked at herself with sparkling eyes, almost teary. "She don't understand she's worth it, or that beauty goes deeper than the surface, oo-ooh."

She smiled.

"So, to all the girls that hurting, let me be your mirror…"

Moving her hands around, she yelled with high spirits as she remembers the memories of her past life. The beautiful part of her younger self, how she used to live... and how it changed.

…

A few moments later.

She sighed, "Haa… I wish I can listen to that again. Guess I really need a phone now, don't I? Hahahaa…'

After a while cleaning herself with the towel, she's done.

Turning off the shower, she looked back to the towel and then… sniffed them.

*Fuuuhhh *Fwahhhh

"Hehe… I wonder if it's weird for people to sniff their own scent, but oh well, I love myself."

She flapped the towel all over and clean her body again off from the dripping water. Siola got out of the bathroom soon after and then went to the kitchen to have a meal. Opening her fridge, she mumbled to herself, "Hmm�� did I spend all my money on these? Goodness, excessive spending is scary. Yeah well, I'm not eating that… not right now anyway. Wait, I still have that few bucks, no? Gah, my memories keep messing me up!" she closed it and went past the door window to the living room/bedroom.

"Hum-hum-hum" rubbing her short hair clean with the towel, she stopped as she saw the capsule. "…" she paused for a moment.

Thinking back on the memories of how she got the capsule hurt her.

Her lips twitched, and then she throws the towels inside it. "Yeah, I don't think I can game on that. Just how can people even play with that anyway, first-gen must be like, 'Bruhh…', when they came out of it chilled to the bone."

The lid is closing in on itself as if it has senses a movement that the owner went inside, even though she's not. Siola flapped her hair around and held it to the back of her head, she then sat on top of the capsule while resting her hand on it.

Seeing her naked body fresh from coming out of the bath, she tilted her head and rubbed her pubic hair for a moment, and then going up to her waist, rolling her finger around her navel, and lastly to her breast. 'It's not even there…' she whimpered.

She sighed and look up to the ceiling, 'I want to go back…'

Everything that she built has now gone. Even thick skin would eventually sway at some point.

Her teary eyes shifted to the barred window, longing to the life she once had. She wiped her tear off and then looked down to the capsule. Pausing for a moment. Caressing it gently.

She sighed once again, "Sorry, hon. But… I don't think it'll work out for us…" she stares at it pa.s.sionately with serious sharp-looking eyes, "I'm sorry but… let's split up."

"…"

*Pffft*

"Gwehehehe" laughing at her own jokes. Her chest feels lightened, "Haa… I wonder if they accept returns, with that amount of money, I can get Cyberized well enough to survive throughout the year and work somewhere, and THEN earn enough money to buy the console again."

Her lips wiggling and then she clicked her tongue. Cursing, "Dammit. So I really did panic back then, huh…"

Siola tilted her head as she closed her eyes, enchanted by the cold-warm atmosphere. Pondering in her own thoughts, 'Having reincarnated to the past so suddenly. Of course, even I would be shaken by it.'

"…"

Caressing the lid of the capsule again, 'Everything went so smoothly until I got in-game, and it goes haywire so quickly.' she opened her eyes, and said, "Those NPCs… Ludwig, Ludtleth, and those two… they're real…" she frowned, "Realism Mode, huh."

Siola remembers the word of the system.

Her lips hardened, "Guess that wasn't an exaggeration. People failed to a.n.a.lyze the difference because they didn't understand what it means or maybe they didn't notice it, they don't know what Realism Mode really was when the answer is so clear, and it's right in front of them…"

"…"

"It is a different world…"

"… Making the game, Ekolia itself into a real-world, thus connecting us to that world, or maybe… it is indeed a real-world but, in another universe, or maybe another planet, and this device connected us to it via Realism Mode…."

"…"

*pak *pak *pak

She tapped the console's lid while thinking about it deeper, after a moment, she stood while shaking her head, "… or whatever in between."

Stretching herself to the back, trying to refresh herself. Her perky nipple hardened as she does it, "Whichever it is, the point is that… it's real, and I want to play that again. ~ Hnngh!"

"Ahhh" Siola fixed her posture and then clothed herself up.

"That means I can't use that mode to earn money, huh. I guess I have to save up ten grand and make another character in Normal Mode, also, I might need to buy a better console that is not chilling me to an ice block. That way, I won't risk myself dying out of hunger and then keep playing the Realism Mode when I have the time. Well, the goal is playing that mode anyway, so… yeah, let's do it."

The jeans she's wearing is still looking good despite how old fashion they are, and her striped long-sleeve shirt too... is looking hot on her.

"Yeah, let's sell my body and get that money, wooh!"

Her hair is still a mess, but she didn't realize it. Plus, she's wearing no underwear and her shirt is a little bit see-through, that might lead her to a… a bit of... troublesome things, especially with her looks differ from her real age. Even looking up close, she looks like a young teen while in reality, she's a fully grown adult at the age of 2—

S-Siola removed all the stuff that is blocking the door, and then when it clears up, she opened it. Greeted by a blinding light of the sun and a refreshing — but disgusting — air of the swamp. With a bright smile on her face, her energy skyrocketed to the sky.

Stretching herself once more, "Hhnngh!"

She moaned seductively, "Haaa..."

Moving out to the bright daylight of the swamp, she gazed to the front confidently. Screaming in high spirit with her hands in the air, "My virginity gonna cost a dime, baby! Let's go fishing!"
