~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Traveling the Open Skys heading Northwest)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:15 PM)~~~

Traveling all day by flying would make you think you've covered a lot of ground, and traveling at the speed I am, you'd bet that guarantees it. But despite those assumptions, I'm only about halfway, and I'm ready to sit down and just take a break. The wind blowing in my face for so long isn't something I have tolerance for. It's not like I'm in a rush either.

The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs is my ultimate Destination near Portes, but I'm using Portes as a point of reference and once I get there. I'll ask around and find out more about The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs. There are things about that I don't know, and who better to ask than the locals who have the most experience with it.

The City of Portes is outside The Kingdom of Avalon, and while that isn't a big deal. It makes me wonder how far I'll have to travel to finish all my tier-up quests. I'm currently tier-1, which means I have tiers 2, 3, and 4 to catch up on, and that isn't something I should've done. I put it off for so long. Now I'm playing catch up.

This is what happens when you prioritize someone over yourself, and while it's okay to do that. You shouldn't do it as heavily as I did it. I'll never regret helping Sally with everything she needed to do, but I acted unwisely, putting all her needs before mine after getting my Mana Aura.

"I need to **ing land... This wind is giving me a headache.

" More I'm giving myself a headache.

The wind is annoying me so much I'm giving myself a headache. I softly land next to the river, and it calmly flows. The soothing sounds of the water flowing start to relax me.

"I wonder what's in store for me... The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs sounds pretty tough...

" Despite my seeming invincibility, a quest tailored for my Divine Class with scale in strength with me.

Meaning the battles ahead will have monsters and enemies that have billions in health and stats that rival my own. There is a good chance that I could die a few times here and there, and I don't like making up for lost time and levels. I decide to start a campfire for the night, and I lean against a turned-over log and enjoy the warmth coming from the fire.

I open my Player Interface and head to my Friends Tab. I open it, and I see Sally's name. It says she's awake and on an Airship.

"I wonder if she would like a message from me... That's a stupid question, Cera. Of course, she would love a message from you. It would show her that she's on your mind.

" I speak to myself as if I'm a fool, and I start composing the message.

I see from the Friends Tab that you're awake right now, and I just thought I'd let you know that I've spent most of my trip so far thinking about you and being annoyed by the wind. I don't know how much you need a message from me right now, but I hope this helps in some way. By the way, the campfire and soon-to-be set-up tent are lonely without you here.

That should be good enough for now, and that is enough of that. I have no doubt she's going to send me a message right away.

"Might as well.

" I click send on the message, and it's off to Sally and is now sitting in her Inbox. Hopefully, her notifications are on cause if they're not, she won't know that I've messaged her.

Now that many of the system's functions from before have been restored. It'll be a lot easier for Players to keep in touch and communicate information.

"That reminds me...

" I know you can buy lore scrolls from the Auction House, and now that it's back up and running. I can but some information about The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs.

I waste no time, and I open the Auction House and use the search bar for anything regarding The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs. Nothing comes up in the search for Lore scrolls, which makes me suspect that a Player hasn't been to or found anything about The Ancient Dungeon of Isexxs. Not anything they would like to share anyway.

Before I can try searching for something else, I get a message back from Sally, and I leave what I'm doing. Growing up on Earth, something you never wanted to do was ignore or postpone answering a girl's messages. While this is the first time I've experienced it, that doesn't mean I should keep her waiting. That isn't something I want to do to Sally.

You don't know how much it means to me to hear from you. I'll be honest. For the first couple of hours, I was balling like a little girl whole dropped her ice cream. But I made a new friend before getting on the Airship. Her name is Eliza Bleed. And she's an Elf like myself. She's taking a chance to explore the world as a Player, and is now doing her tier-up quest in the same direction as me.

She's been a really good friend so far, and it's going to suck splitting up from her too. I get off the Airship before she does. I hope that the tent won't feel that lonely... My bed and body feel hollow without you laying here next to me. I miss being able to hold you, and I miss your smell. I know that's weird to say, but it's driving me crazy.

It's nice that's she's made another elven friend who is also a Player. She has the trademark of most women and messaging. She's way better at it than I am.

"As much as I'd love to spend the whole night talking with her. I need some downtime to clear my thoughts.

" I'm betting she's expecting an immediate reply, and I send her one telling her that I love her and I'm going to bed.

~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: Airship heading to Abble, The Kingdom of Avalon)~~~

~~~(Time: 7:27 PM)~~~

The final message that I get from Cera tonight comes through, and my heart sinks. The message itself is sweet, but I want to talk to him and not stop.

"Relax... He needs rest, and so do you.

" I talk myself into not being so focused on it, and I look towards the ceiling. My thoughts drift to the others that are doing their tier-up quests.

If there is anyone I'm worried about besides Cera, it'd be Jasmine. The girl is strong, and she's gotten better about handling her own fears, but I can't help feeling that she's going to have a rough time here in the beginning. I'd love to be wrong about this, and I hope that I am. But I trust my gut, and it's saying that Jasmine is in for some personal trials.

If there were another besides Jasmine, it would be Hailey. Taking on a Raid all on your own isn't something I've ever heard of being done before. And she's supposed to be first? I can't imagine how frustrated she's going to get overtime. Cera said it's pretty much a sure thing that she'll die a couple of times trying to figure out the boss.

It's a good thing she's a Player, and she can come back to life having only lost a level and the stats you spend on that level. She's probably grinding for EXP to get some levels to cushion the deaths she gonna have.
