Alex finally back to the real world. The nostalgic forest. The previous mammoth seems to control this area. Maybe, because the two previous rank 8 crocodiles died. This mammoth has the chance to control this area.
"Roar!"
Alex shook his head, "Sherry, leave it to me"
"Wuu"
"Flash Step"
Alex disappeared. As soon as he appeared, he was beside the mammoth. This mammoth was surely fast. But sadly, Now Alex finally reach rank 7. An attack type monster like this won't challenge him.
"Elemental Sanguin Sword Art. Seventh Slash"
"Roar!" The mammoth was startled and because of it, the mammoth lost its life. Alex Elemental Sanguin Sword Art split him to half.
After killing the mammoth, Alex turned to Sherry. "Sherry, Let's go back"
"Wuu" Sherry nodded.
After finally reaching rank 7. They finally can fly. They flew toward the sky and continue to Acacia Kingdom's direction.
Seeing Sherry seems to be walking in the sky instead of flying. An image flashed on his mind. That image was deers that pulling the Santa Claus carriage. He immediately shook his head. How can he bear Sherry pulling that carriage?
They continued flying for a while. With flying, they finally arrived at the capital city of the Acacia Kingdom. Though it was already night when they arrived.
Alex immediately went to the castle. The castle guards have recognized him, so they let him in. Alex silently approached Alicia's room. He opened the door silently. He saw Alicia still laying on that bed. It seems that she was taken care of nicely. He also saw Firia who was asleep beside her. He walked to them. Firia seems to notice someone approaching and immediately opened her eyes.
"Who?"
Alex walked slowly to her. He smiled to her "Ya, Firia"
When she saw Alex's face appeared in front of her again. She can't bear it. She stood up and hugged him while crying "Alex, you finally…you finally… I believe in you… all this time…Alex, welcome home"
Alex hugged her back, "Yes, I'm back"
"Alex…sob…If you finally back here, did you finally…"
"Yes. Though what I got was only temporary"
"Temporary?"
Alex explained all those things related to the cure to her. He also told her about his master. And he told her about his course of action.
"Sure, I will also try to ascend like you. I will also search for her."
"Thank you" Alex released Firia from his embrace. "Let me proceed with the cure first"
Alex took out the Divine Tree Seed. He grinds it to powder and purified it with his Pure Fire. Firia brought the glass for him. Alex took out a water bottle from the system. At this time, he now felt that the water bottle seems didn't really that hateful. After he put out the powder into the water, Alex feeds it to Alicia. But he failed. Alicia didn't have any strength to drink that.
Firia who was beside him thought an idea, "Alex, she didn't have any strength to drink. How about you help her drink? Right, you help her mouth to mouth"
"Cough…cough…Firia?" Alex was surprised by Firia's idea.
"Hurry up. I don't want to feed her. And the only person who is in this room except me is you. So you will be the one who helps her"
"Ugh…" Alex seems can't convince her, he sighed. He drank the medicine and pour it out to Alicia, of course, mouth to mouth.
After finishing the medicine, Alicia finally opened her eyes slowly.
"Alicia"
"Alicia"
"Al…ex… Fi…ria" Alicia slowly opened her mouth.
"Alicia, just rest. Don't bother to talk now, just recover first"
"Yes, that's right"
After a while, Alicia opened her mouth again. "Alex, please find me again alright? Please make me fall in love with you again alright"
"Alicia, you…"
"Even though I am sleeping, it wasn't like I was unconscious. I still hear everything happened. Alex, Firia, Sorry for worrying you, and you two have worked hard."
Without saying anything, Alex hugged her. Alicia also know, even without a word from his mouth. She felt his emotion and feeling.
Tears formed in Firia's eyes. "I'm glad… I'm glad… Don't worry, I will also search you"
"Firia, Please let help me to keep an eye for him. He didn't know but he was a magnet for women. Be sure there are no vixen got close to him"
"Of course, I will"
"Alex, you hear me right. I don't mind if you have another wife but make sure, they are not a homewrecker or a gold digger."
Alex didn't answer her, She confused "Alex?"
"Wuu" Sherry told Firia to check him. Sherry already knew what happened since she felt his thought. So She told Firia to check him.
"He…He asleep" Tears formed again in her eyes.
Alicia also let out a bit of tears. "You have really worked hard, Alex. Rest well"
The next day, Alex woke up.
"Ugh… Where am I?"
"Wuu Wuu(Master, you fell asleep)"
"I see" He gathered his thought for a while, "Sherry, Would you mind to help me check Alicia a bit?"
"Wuu (leave it to me)" Sherry nodded and left the room.
"System, let me see my status"

Reward: Dart Roulette, Dart x5]
"What is this Dart Roulette?"
[It's a Dart Roulette, Host]
"…"
[Please claimed it if you wanted to learn about it]
Alex claimed it and used it. He suddenly teleported to another space. He searched his surroundings.
[Welcome Host]
Alex turned to the voice. There is a mini robot here and welcome him.
[Host, please don't stare at me. I'm just an AI according to your memory]
"…" Alex sighed, "Then, what am I going to do here? I think I used the Dart Roulette?"
[Yes Host, That is the Dart Roulette]
The robot pointed in another direction. Alex followed his direction, there is really a dart. But unlike the usual dart. It was the items separated like a roulette. There is seven reward, at the top, it was glistened by rainbow color as its background, according to his knowledge, this must be the UR. The item was a box, there is nothing unusual on the image. He checked another one, this time, it was a golden color. It must be the SR. The item was a sword. He checked the other five, one rare, two Uncommon, and two common.
"What is that box System?"
[Ah, that is the time box. It can seal an item inside, the sealed item can't be disturbed by the flow of time. That means the time for that item would be frozen. It can also seal a human inside]
Alex was shocked, "What did you say?"
[It can seal an item inside]
"I mean, the last one"
[It can also seal a human inside]
"It can seal a human inside? If I seal 'her' and search for the cure. Is it possible?"
[Yes, Host. It is possible]
"I can…" Tears started forming at the corner of his eyes. There is hope for Alicia. She can be cured. If he sealed her inside and search for the cure…
Alex determined, he will get that box. Definitely. "System, how will I do this?"
[Host, please stand on that red box]
Alex immediately followed the system word. He stands on the red box eagerly.
[The roulette will be spinning and Host needs to throw this dart. Host will get anything the dart pierced]
"I understand. Start please" Alex grabbed a dart.
[Alright. Spin]
The roulette started spinning, though it was still in Alex's capability to discern the rewards. He focused on the UR one. Alex raised the dart and finally threw it.
The dart flew to the roulette. Alex anticipated it eagerly. From the look of it, it will surely pierce the UR. "Please get it"
When the dart reached the roulette. It bounced out. Because of the spin, the dart didn't pierce the roulette and bounced out.
"What?"
"System, what is happening?"
[This is the difficulty Host. Because the reward from this Dart Roulette would always be good and easy to get. This kind of difficulty was to be expected]
"Ugh" He saw the remaining four dart. "That's right, I still have my Spear Throwing Art. They were similar"
Alex grabbed another dart. This time he planned to throw it with his Spear Throwing Art. He took a breath,
"Spin Throwing Art. Dart Version"
The dart flew at a fast speed. It pierced the UR column. Alex was overjoyed. "Haha, finally I got it. System, hurry up with the reward."
[Host, looked closely at your dart. Where is it?]
Alex got a bad feeling for it, "It pierced the UR column, right?"
[Host, look at the dart. It pierced the wall. The UR column was thrown off after you break it and the dart pierced the wall instead of it]
"What? No, I pierced the UR Column!" Alex started to be desperate.
[Please try again, Host]
"What? No, I don't want. I pierced the UR column!"
[Host, Please try it again, if not, System might force you out from here]
"Ugh…" This time Alex can't fight back. After all, this UR item was very important to him
Alex grabbed another dart reluctantly. He still has another card if the Spin Throwing was useless. There is his Power Throwing. It won't be like the previous one. He will control it carefully to make the roulette intact.
"Power Throwing. Dart Version"
Alex threw another one with his Power Throwing.
"Boom!"
This time, the dart didn't pierce the roulette like before. The roulette becomes like a crater on the ground but still intact and the dart still pierces the UR column.
"Haha, this time!" Alex was overjoyed.
[Host, how can you break that roulette wheel. Haven't you learned from the previous one? It was invalid. Please don't break the roulette wheel. Or system might force you out from here]
"What? No no, please not" Alex grabbed another dart. "Look this time, I won't do that again"
The system changes the roulette wheel again. Alex didn't use any technique again. This time he carefully adjusts his power to a very precise one. He threw the dart.
This time, the dart finally pierced the roulette wheel but he missed. He pierced the SR one.
"What? System I don't want this, just give me the box"
[Then, please work hard for it]
"Ugh…" Alex grabbed another one, this is his final chance. If he missed this one… he didn't want to think about it. He took a very long breath. He threw it.
Alex was overjoyed, because this time, finally, he got the UR piece. Alex started crying. "Finally, I got it this time. System, I got it right?"
[Yes, Host. Congratulation]
…
In somewhere far away, there is a woman who a bit saddened. She looked at the sky and sighed, "I can only help you with that. Darling"
