“Chirp~. Chirp~.”[6:00 AM]The same time as every single day. She used to wake up much earlier when she needed to go work, but ever since she left all her work and Rey took over, she had been waking up a little later. Still, the punctuality was still there. “Haaaa…”She did not really need a clock. Her disciplined mind and body would wake up exactly when she needed to. It was just another day today as well, like every other day…But, when she woke up, Ray’s mother saw the blanket placed on her and smiled bitterly.‘That child…’The blanket was placed on her because she would get cold. She was already ill, suffering with nothing too big, but she needed proper rest and warmth. That child did not let her compromise anything for her anymore. He was working every single day anyways, and even though she did not like it, she could not be harsh to him anymore. He was doing it for them, so she did not have any way to stop him either. “Huuu. He will be back from his night job soon… I sho

“You fell in a grassland, met strange block creatures and fly creatures, met a Pixie and even resolved the conflicts they had? Seems like you had fun~.” We always tell each other what happens with us and there was no way I was going to hide anything that I did in that world. I told her about the unique place that I fell into in the other world, all the things that I did, all the creatures that I met, even how I got so many good rewards and everything. I also told her what I could have done differently and we then discussed what other things could have happened, different scenarios and things like that. We loved talking about these things… in a house with not much to do, discussions like these were our best entertainment.“Haha, I knew you would have fun~. I’m soooo happy right now~.” She was happy. She seemed so happy that it was difficult to tell that she was ill right now. Maybe this happiness was healing her a little as well.“Ahem. Ahem.” But then again, it’s times like th

[Nexgenesis Online: somewhere on the western continent.]The world is filled with mysteries and stories of the past. Everyone dreams of something that could have been, everyone wants something that should have been. There is a reason something works the way it does, and this world, governed by primordial laws predating the very central AIs that created this world, concepts like Beginning, Journey, Good, Evil, and such are more important than one might realize. “Hohoho! Come children! Let us once again live the myth of Origin! Let us dive into the GENESIS!”A roadside theater in a small village of a certain nation’s certain city was the center of attention today. “Hohoho! Close your eyes! Experience the breath of beginning~!”The magical play began with a dark curtain covering the stage. At the same time, a divine voice spoke, shrouding the theatre and hundreds of people present in the village in a hypnotic melody. [ “In the beginning… the world was pure chaos.” ]A voice so vivid

“Haha, alright now. I understand you won’t let me go anywhere by myself. But, little friend, are you sure about leaving this place… even if they had treated you as an outsider all this time, you’re close with the Blockheads, right?And, you have a house here, no?” Sitting with my back against a large rock on the other side of her house, with the pixie sitting on top of my head with a grumpy face and crossed hands, I poked a finger in her puffed cheeks with a smile. { “Hmph! I’ve told you sooooo many times! This house is good, but I want a biiiiiiiig one! I want to live in the big houses that you big people live in! I want to see the world, I want to make actual, new friends!” }She shouted with her adorable voice and pulled one of my hair in protest. She did not like how I was teasing her, but she was still certain about everything she was saying right now. “Fine, jeez. Don’t pull my hair please. It hurts.”{ “Hmph!” }She pulled another one of the strands and turned her head away,

[Ding!][Player Function: Player Forums Opened.][Accessing Player Forums…]The familiar system prompt chimed in my mind, pulling up a new interface overlaid on my vision. It wasn't physically present in the game world, but a mental window accessible only to players. ‘Could it be different from the common system functions?’The display was sleek, intuitive, and, most importantly, functional.
