Chapter 70 70 Midnight

"What the fuck are you idiots saying, I'm going to destroy the world's balance, do you even hear yourselves, I don't know what you are or who you are but this world isn't falling into any darkness" Alex shouted.

"Await your death human for you need to be eradicated..." the figure spoke loudly, before Alex could speak a strong force pushed him out of the trance he was in.

Alex gasped heavily as he woke up, he stood up on his feet and looked around, Max, Gabriel, and Rebecca were lying on the ground asleep.

All the traces of the skeletons were gone, not even their bones were left behind.

"Guys wake up..." Alex shouted and the boys woke up.

"What's wrong...did we sleep off?" Gabriel asked as he looked around.

"Alex you are okay, you passed out," Max said.

"Yes I'm okay, I had a weird dream though, it felt so real like I was in a trance...some weird people called themselves Gods and told me some shits," Alex said.

"We should keep moving, she's still not up," Max said pointing at Rebecca.

"Hey, Rebecca wake up" Gabriel touched her.

"Stop disturbing me Jack, I don't have anywhere to go the school is on a break," Rebecca said in a sleepy voice and rolled to the other side.

As she rolled over, she fell down from the tree onto the ground and that jolted her awake, she looked around and was surprised then she turned around and saw the boys laughing.

"Who is Jack?" Gabriel asked.

"He's my Butler, I thought I was in my room, where am I?" Rebecca asked.

"What do you mean, you are probably in your room now, you are playing a game," Max said.

"What!! did I fall asleep in a game, wow" Rebecca was surprised.

"I think we should log out so we can check on our lives in the real world, we've been here far too long," Alex said.

"Okay, we'll log in at the same time so Alex can return all the plants then we'll share the profit," Max said.

"Good idea" Gabriel added.

"Hey you guys, when are you going to log back in, I don't stay with you guys so I don't know," Rebecca said.

"Yes, that's good there are still some plants around, you can take them and give them to the owner of the potion shop he's going to reward you," Alex said.

"Huh! we're ditching her, bro that's not alright, she was a lot of help," Gabriel said.

"Really...what did she do that helped?" Alex asked.

"Look at her level" Max pointed and Alex looked at it and was surprised.

"I killed lots of skeletons and I leveled up, my healing cane can also be used for attacking," Rebecca said proudly.

"It's not for attacking but it deals high damage to undead warriors, that means skeletons, zombies, and the rest of them" Max explained.

"Hmmm...I didn't know healers were that useful, still can you be available any time we need you, you are quite busy right?" Alex said.

"I'm not busy at all or don't you want me on the team?" Rebecca said in a low voice.

"Fine... we're logging out, but I don't know what the time is so I don't know when we'll be back," Alex said.

"Where do you guys stay?" Rebecca whispered to Gabriel.

"We stay at downtown Pineville building 40, you can miss it" Gabriel whispered back.

Alex opened his eyes and he was back at his apartment, he removed the helmet from his head and placed it beside himself, Gabriel and Max also removed theirs.

"What's the time?" Gabriel asked.

"I haven't checked yet," Alex said as he grabbed his phone.

"Why did you close the window Alex, you need to keep your room ventilated" Max spoke.

"The time is 4:00 and I don't remember closing my window, they are not even close," Alex said as he looked at the window.

"They are not, but It's so dark there, I can't see outside and the time is just 4:00"

"It's 4:00 am, it's almost morning, and the lights are on," Alex said.

"What it's almost morning, what's that supposed to...fuck!! it's almost morning, I need to get home" Max shouted.

"Why? is your mom gonna ground you" Gabriel laughed.

"Yes," Max said.

"Ohh...I forgot you are not yet an adult, I'm sorry" Gabriel laughed.

"I'm 18, I'm an adult...but I need to go" Max said as he exited the door immediately.

"Damn I'm hungry" Gabriel yawned loudly.

"Go home and eat, I don't have anything for you here" Alex flashed a smug smile.

"Is that so... don't worry, it's only a matter of time, very soon I'll be in money" Gabriel boasted.

"What...did you invest in crypto currency again, or this is something new?" Alex asked.

"I'm done with crypto, I'm talking about Rebecca, I'm going to make her fall in love with me, and she's damn rich so I'm going to be dating a rich girl" Gabriel smiled.

"You are going to make her fall in love with you, with a face like yours how are you going to do that," Alex said mockingly.

"What!! you may be more handsome than me, but I'm more handsome than most guys, she's going to love me, didn't you see her in the forest clinging to me"

"She was clinging to you because she was afraid, and you haven't seen her in real life, the game improves players' appearance," Alex said.

"It doesn't matter, she's the daughter of a rich man so she's going to be beautiful that's for sure and I'm not going to let you have her," Gabriel said and flashed Alex a glare.

"Why would I want her, besides she won't even see me cause I'm not going with you to her hotel," Alex said.

"Don't worry about that" Gabriel smiled.

"Why are you smiling," Alex asked as he stood up and walked towards the toilet.

"Nothing I'm just happy that's all" Gabriel smirked, 'I hope she comes tomorrow, I told her Alex's address instead of mine'

After using the toilet, Alex came out and found Gabriel in his kitchen cooking his food.

"Gabriel...what did I tell you about food" Alex shouted and charged toward him.

"Stop...mud trap," Gabriel said as he placed his hands on the ground.

"Really...you are behaving like a kid you know, arrgh..." Alex shouted like he was struggling out of Gabriel's trap.

"Really... who's behaving like a kid now, fireball" Gabriel shouted and Alex dodged them.

"Gabriel the eggs, check the eggs..." Alex quickly said and Gabriel turned around and focused on what he was cooking.

"I hope there's enough for both of us?" Alex asked.

"Yes, it's your house after all," Gabriel said as Alex exited the kitchen.

Alex yawned and lay on his bed, his helmet was beside him and he remembered something important, he quickly took off his shirt and looked at his chest.

'It's not even funny, I don't have a mark on my chest why am I checking it, that game is messing with me, first the girl in the dungeon, then the assassin, and then some stupid Gods'

'I need to get my mind off it, or maybe something is wrong with my helmet or my account in Nova Online'

'I'm currently at level 12 but I haven't yet received a skill, then the fuzzy notification about amplifying curse energy, what's that supposed to mean'

'Haa... I'm hungry, I'm going to think about that later, what is Gabriel cooking that smells so nice' Alex mumbled to himself.

"Alex the sandwich is ready," Gabriel said as he held two plates in his hands.

"Haa...egg sandwich, no wonder something smells nice, I was wondering what you were cooking, cause I know you are a bad cook" Alex laughed.

"Not as bad as you at least" Gabriel replied.

"Hey, I can cook meals myself," Alex said with a mouthful of sandwich.

"Really what can you cook, you eat out because you can only cook basic meals, like this sandwich, I mean why do you even have groceries," Gabriel said.

"It seems you do like coming to my house anymore," Alex said with her eyes partly close.

"I'm just joking, or maybe not" Gabriel laughed and moved away from Alex.

"I'm going to kill you I swear, as soon as I eat this, I'm really hungry"
