Luca looked around with a face of astonishment. Everything around him except the players in his party members had frozen together with time, including his uncle, Heisel, as well as Keporin and Dimitri.
“What is this?” Luca wonders.
“Don't you ever experience it before?” Areka replied to that question with a question anyway.
At that time Lia also added, “It looks like the time of prohibition of playing games of minors has arrived. But forget it, Luca! What were you trying to do earlier? Why do you look like you want to break through the enemy headquarters by yourself carelessly?!”
Luca I couldn't answer. He seemed to have been caught doing something bad in front of Lia. And when Luca was ready to open his mouth again to answer,
“Fwuuush.”
The five of them had been forcibly removed from the game.

Moments later, Luca has returned to his real body. Along with the return of common sense in his mind, Luca discovers that Areka is scolding Raia who is beside him.
“Hey, boy, you are a shielder, but what the hell is your fighting style?! Why are you fighting like a DPS?! That shield should stand firmly before the enemy as a fortress.”.
Areka looks scolded Raia for being dissatisfied with Raia's reckless fighting style. Luca seemed reluctant to respond because he had seen for himself Raia's reckless fighting style when forming his first party and justifying in the heart of Areka's curse addressed to Raia.
But a moment later, Areka's gaze immediately turned to Luca who had just returned to his consciousness. Luca shuddered too.
“And you too, Luca! Why are you suddenly moving towards those thousands of zombies?! If it wasn't for the prohibition on playing underage games that stopped you, you would have been wiped out by the zombies. Don't you understand the meaning of strategy?! Though we've discussed it before.”.
The long speech of Areka also passed from Raia to Luca. Luca had to listen to Areka's long lecture for some time.
.

Areka, Luca, and Raia walk out the cafe in silence. Suddenly, Areka broke the silence.
“Hei, Luca. Why are you suddenly so impatient?”
Luca was silent for a while before a word could finally come out of his mouth.
“I'm sad, Senior. The necromancer killed the villagers, but even I couldn't avenge them. The Necromancer just ran away from me, so without a second thought, I chased after him.”
“Why all the way, anyway it's all just NPC.” Areka did not continue what she wanted to say once saw Luca's expression turned sad even in the heart of Areka, he said, he still questioned why Luca loved anything more than a computer program.
“I'm sure, the other players will soon arrive at that place given the appearance of the main quest there. At the very least, the village will remain safe even if we are not there.”
“Well, whatever it is, tonight, you two just rest at my house. We only have eight hours to rest. It will be in vain if we separate directly to each other's homes. Besides in my house there are enough game sets, so tomorrow we just use the equipment in my house to login back.”
Luca and Raia agree to Areka's invitation.
“Then I call my driver first to drive us home.”
However, once the driver of Areka arrived with a car that although not as luxurious as Lia's car, but has been quite luxurious considering the average income of the Indonesian population's capital, it was, Luca and Raia honestly revealed their expressions of admiration and disbelief. The admiration and disbelief grew - so once they arrived at the house of Areka which was unexpectedly very luxurious.
That night, be Luca and Raia staying over at their hot-tempered senior's house.

Morning did not feel arrived and now is the time for them to login into the vrmmorpg The Last Gardenia.
With anxiety, I logged back into the game. My one hope, may Uncle Heisel, Brother Keporin, and others in the village all be fine.
Apparently, what Senior Areka said was true. As soon as I arrived back at this place, this place had been filled with other players to follow the main quest.
You can see the ranks of the shield team, archer team, mage team, and support team from the top of the fortress to suppress the pace of the zombies, while the swordsmen, assassins, fighters, and so on, and the beast tamers fought on the front lines.
For a while, I no longer needed to worry about the safety of the village. I immediately visited the medical center in the village after receiving word from Lia that Uncle Heisel and the others were being treated there after the battle.
I was in a panic thinking that Uncle Heisel was seriously injured, but after Lia told me that all three of them had only minor injuries that rather than physical injuries, they suffered more fatigue, I breathed a sigh of relief.
“How, Luca? I've found the necromancer's location on the land of death. Do we have to chase after him now or wait for the three NPCs that help you heal first?” Someone patted me on the back and asked. He is Brother Andra.
“No. We're doing just fine. Since you're all complete, we'll just leave.” Uncle Heisel-kah who confirmed the question from Brother Andra.
I see, not only Uncle Heisel, but also Brother Keporin and Kak Dimitri have risen from their beds in a state of fresh-fresh. We decided to leave without wasting any more time.
We also formed a formation in breaking through the defense of the zombie heap in front of blocking our path. Senior Areka on the left wing and Kak Raia on the right flank threw the zombies that were about to attack us to the side, while Uncle Heisel who was in the front row of the party, was on the front row, instantly killing the zombies that ran wild was about to pounce on us by stabbing and slashing at them.
I was at the very back of the line overseeing the defense of the rear row of the party, while Kak Dimitri on the left side and Kak Keporin on the right side. Lia and Kak Andra as a support team are in the middle while carrying out their respective tasks where Lia supports with a protective buff of death elements as well as increased strength, meanwhile, Brother Andra focused on tracking the necromancer.
Just as we were walking about 800 meters from the fortress that separated the village from the land of death, we finally found the necromancer. Beside him was a strange altar with an uneasy energy, where it died.
I was about to rush towards him immediately, but Uncle Heisel immediately stopped me from seeing something suspicious beside him.
“It tearing dimension. You still remember the incident that the sky broke some time ago in the Kingdom of Symphonia? It was all triggered by such a tool.” An unexpected comment came out of Dimitri's mouth.
How could I not know about the incident because I was one of the victims of the incident that made me stranded to the real world.
But the evil necromancer Philtory also issued a statement that made both me and the others gasp in shock.
“We have all lived too long in the mirror world. What is the point of enjoying the shadow world when our original world has been destroyed little by little by little swallowed up by darkness? Isn't it time we woke up to take off the mirror world?!"
