VRMMO | Terris Story: Someone "Them"

10:A.Linnea, Luna and Alice

08.37

Coming out of the capsule, Linnea stretched her entire body which was experiencing pseudo aching — at least this time as they had a fairly intense fight against the Forest Wolf herd.

"Mu. . , That's a danger." he murmured.

Linnea saw clearly how the Basmael forest seemed to be too difficult for beginners. And that was how it was from the experience of the girl today.

Seeing the reality, Linnea and Alice immediately knew that they would not be able to leave Nave village for some time in the future —even though desperate.

Because in order to get out of that region, first the player must be able to get out alive from the Beast-infested Basmael forest. Which unfortunately is still quite difficult for the majority of players at the moment, where Forest Wolf became a nightmare. It was also because wolf-type Beasts were more often in groups; which also made solo players often pesky.

And thinking if this was just the beginning monster of the forest, Linnea found it hard to imagine what they would face next. But it also made her smile thinly unconsciously, impatient to see other creatures with her own eyes.

· · ·

Amidst the sea of thoughts the girl had, someone with a familiar-sounding voice called out to her; breaking her silence and making her come to a realization.

"Sister."

—Deg.

The surprised Linnea immediately turned her head on reflex.

In the corner of her bed that had been unknown since when, Luna was seen sitting clutching her hands with a sullen face.

Judging from any side, his sister was clearly upset.

Not knowing the reason behind her sister's annoyance, Linnea looked at Luna in confusion. Tilting his head filled with question marks.

"Young, Luna?"

Like an axis that ignited a firecracker, Linnea instantly triggered the anger that Luna had been holding back to date.

"How long has it been playing?! Luna knew you were in the capsule since last night! My sister didn't sleep, right?! How sick will you be?! ——"

A few nagging sessions later. . .

"Um, um, um, um. . ." Linnea continued to nod tangled with lifeless eyes, in front of her sister who continued to nag. Even Alice began to feel fear for Luna.

". . .Yes, that's it." said Luna, who ended her breathing right after she spewed her scolding on her sister. Seeing her brother who was like that, anyone would not have the heart to continue.

Luna moved from her seat, approached and hugged her sister. And thanks to that, Linnea finally realized from her 'half-dead' state.

"Muu. . ? Luna. . ?"

"Sister who takes care of himself. . ." he said again.

Luna was worried about her sister. Although little did he know about her, her considerate nature allowed the girl to know something behind the mask of someone's face. See what they are hiding. And from her sister, Luna saw her sister like she was on a road full of pebbles and throwing stones, tired of waiting to fall. Which then made his sister even more want to take care of him.

But on the other hand, Linnea hid what she was facing so that her sister would not have to worry. With that, he also encouraged Luna to be able to stand strong individually, while she herself was struggling to get out and be recognized with Alice.

But also still hiding Alice from Luna, Linnea still had a deep fear of revealing that. She still fears that everything will end up the same as her past, even if it is her own sister.

Maybe, one day. . . he thought, while showing deep expression.

Continuing with breakfast, Linnea ate with Luna, who deliberately waited until her brother finished cleaning up.

"By the way, brother what's in the game?" ask Luna.

"Nm. . ?" Linnea also glanced at Luna, who was showing a curious expression on her face. It was not ordinary because he knew his sister had never shown any curiosity towards this or that game.

"Muu, Rapier's practice, Wolf Hunt. . ." she replied.

So far, what the girl had done were just two things in outline; swinging Rapier and taking part in Alice's hunting Quest.

"Is that? Luna wants to try. . ."

—Jdarr. . !

Hearing the sentence that was like a lightning strike to him, Linnea fell silent and widened her eyes. He never thought about the situation where his sister wanted to play games. But worse than that, it wasn't that simple because Alice was with him.

Gawat. . thought Alice and Linnea at the same time.

Seeing her own sister speechless like a statue, Luna finally called out. "Sir. . ?"

"uh? Ah, but why?" ask Linnea.

"Yes. . , endless, everywhere talking is just, it's curious to be too."

"That's so. . ."

The two also continued to discuss Terris where Linnea gave a simple explanation of the basics, almost the same as the explanation from the official Sekai Shard page which was also added to his own experience. Until Linnea finally learns that Lia's doctor is happy to bring another capsule for her sister, which will come today.

"Doctor. . ."

'Doctor. . .'

Linnea murmured softly, along with Alice.

Knowing doctor Lia did it, Linnea and Alice could only sigh. Everything will be more troublesome, at least when Luna is in the game.

'Here you go, think later.' said Alice tiredly.

"Mr. . ."

. . .

Returning to her room, Linnea entered Terris on the third day.

" "May. . ." "

Once inside, the girl immediately tested her voice, and once again found that it overlapped with Alice. Moreover, since the sound of the two was one hundred percent identical, it gave a somewhat horror-like echo effect to be heard.

" "Muuh. . , Assimilation, yes. . ? Split." "

[Assimilation canceled]

"Good Skill, dear not dapet Experience the same as Mastery Point." Alice chirped with disappointment. "Oh, where's Mii?"

"Nr. . . ."

The two instantly remembered the rabbit Elcia had tamed in the Basmael forest. The cute creature had unofficially ended up being a member of the group. Elcia then gave the rabbit a name after they returned to the village of Nave.

But now, the rabbit disappeared and caused both of them to feel lacking in a certain sense.

Inevitably, Terris makes Pet —or beast that has been tamed, remain in place when the player Logout. With Pet having only one life, players who become Tamers struggle in the early stages of the game as long as they have no place to live. With most dying due to other players or hunted other Beasts.

And at this moment, the two girls finally searched for Mii around the place.

"Well, it shouldn't be far. . . Oh, meet!" alice exclaimed when she found a rabbit hiding among the bushes. "Here-here~"

Seeing Alice playing around, with her rabbit, Elcia ended up jealous. "Muu, Alice. . ."

"No want~" teased Alice, carrying Mii in her arms.

In that situation, Elcia ended up using the ultimate weapon that she rarely showed.

—Aqueous eyes.

—Pips bulging.

Anyone immediately feels guilty if they are in Alice's position.

"eeh? Don't cry! Huh, yes-yes!" alice said with a heavy heart and gave the rabbit to Elcia. "Basic cheating."

"Neo, hehe. . ."

. . .

Switch focus. The two also went from the outskirts of Nave village to the Combat Training Field, intending to complete the Wolf Hunting Sub Quest that Bill gave.

Both of them obtained too many Drop Items, including the Forest Wolf Fang needed for that Quest. Even after sharing it fairly with Haru's group, the two had to leave behind a lot of items due to the limited capacity of the beginner bags.

In the middle of the training field, the bearded Halfling they were looking for was doing a sword movement using the Long Sword that he often used.

"Eclipse Waltz."

Bill moved quickly and sharply. His feet became the turning point and his body swung a slash after another slash, which followed the —character blue stripes of Phantasmal Attack, which created a blue storm of slashes that looked beautiful. Then a full circle slashes, followed by a blue circle; replicating the shape of the eclipse as its name implies, Eclipse.

Witnessing the incident, both of them goosebumps until they forget to breathe. The reason is simple, Bill's attack looks terrible. Especially with dozens of slashes left behind splitting the grass around it.

"Oh, you guys back in one piece?" said Bill. Seeing that a pair of silver girls had returned from the Quest he had given, the coach put on a grin.

"Kuh. . ! We almost died!" alice shouted with an annoyed face, while showing the Training Long Sword that had been broken.

The girl then took out a stack of Forest Wolf Fang from inside her bag and gave it to Bill — without even bothering to count it. "It."

"Oho, how many did you guys manage to hunt?" the question then, changed to glance at Elcia —, which was followed by a frown on the forehead when he saw a rabbit in the girl's arms.

Elcia also saw Alice's Quest panel. Looking at the Forest Wolf that Alice had killed, the girl faintly guessed after being augmented with hers. "Muh, five dozen more. . ?"

"Oho, Wolfpack! Wolfpack says! Did you guys manage to kill the Alpha?" ask Bill, get back together.

Elcia took out the Drop Item she got from the wolf.

Both of them were lucky enough that Haru's group didn't need it and gave the item away for free. Which made the two feel uneasy after taking Last Hit from that Beast Boss.
