Chapter 728 Name Reveal

Pandora and Sigma.

Two identities of a single person. But to be honest, I am quite surprised as I didn't expect to know that Pandora was actually Sigma seeing how active the latter is compared to the former. Not to mention, she was a very different person in real life than in the game. It was like she developed a lot of her suppressed personality into her being and based on her behavior alone if Pandora is a normal girl without any of her current disabilities, then the end result would be Sigma.

"Still, who would have thought it was you? I know that you play the game after your brother revealed that you are using it for rehab training for your feet, but I didn't know that you are a long-time player already."

"Well, it's the only hobby I can enjoy without the need to use my legs so it has grown to me, and now look, I am a dedicated player now."

She has become too dedicated that she became one of the strongest players present at the moment and also in the future as well. That just shows how much her disabilities have robbed her of the various talents that should have made her an energetic girl. This is why, with the help of the Reality Verse themselves, even if they are being plagued with disabilities, they can still experience or perhaps heal the disability itself just like that.

"But I am surprised that you decided to reveal your identity just like that. I mean, you could've remained anonymous and even we would never assume it was you in the first place," I asked her as to why she decided to suddenly make herself reveal her real identity to me.

"Hey, even I wanted to have some friends as well. I might look like some kind of standoffish person but even then, I still wanted to be with friends too. I am also jealous of you guys who hang out with each other like siblings and just have a good time with each other. Perhaps if I have revealed my true identity, perhaps I can join in on some "friendship" discussion with the others, no?"

That's when I immediately understood. The reason why Sigma decided to reveal it herself. She might be an absolute beast in the game and she knows how to fight monsters like a pro. However, she is lonely too. Since Dolly and Harmless Sparrow know each other in real life, the two can easily ask each other to ask some things that they are comfortable discussing with friends. Sigma can't do that as she is basically a "stranger" to the eyes of the two.

I chuckled for a bit when I heard the main reason why she did it. It's simple and innocent but it's also something brave of her to do so. After all, confronting someone and revealing yourself just so you can get good friends as a result is something of a big gamble for her.

"So, what's your plan now that you have revealed yourself? Are you planning on revealing your identity to others as well? Especially on Dolly and Sparrow?"

"Of course. I don't need to hide my identity from them and what is the point of keeping this a secret from them? It doesn't change much but just prolonging some sort of secret instead."

She has a point on there. Since she doesn't plan to hide her identity anymore, there is no need to hide it from them as well. So why not reveal it to them?

As we continue talking for a bit, the others who went hunting have returned which is good timing as well. I stopped what I am doing and we went out together to welcome the others.

"Where's Mom and Dad?" I asked when I noticed the two are not present when everyone entered. Aside from Mr.Teddy who was offline from the very beginning, my parents were there and hunted with everyone before they came back.

"Ah, don't worry. They logged out as they will be taking lunch for a bit before coming back. That's also the main reason we came back as well as we are already hungry and I think we needed to eat real food soon enough as well," Dolly takes off the cape from her back and immediately crashes onto the sofa.

I checked on the time and like what Dolly said, it was already lunchtime. No wonder I felt hungry for a bit.

"Looks like we should log out for a while and eat. I will be cooking. Also, I will be introducing someone as well while we eat lunch. I am sure you guys would like to meet this person as well."

The others were confused but Sigma and I just smiled at each other before we hit log out.

As usual, Suhei is out busy at work and left Pandora at home with us. Since he doesn't get worried about his sister's well-being with us, we also make sure that she is safe with us as well and we take care of her needs as well.

First I fetched Pandora from her room. She is excited to introduce herself fully to them and I am also happy for her as well. After all, all her life she barely has any friends and this will be the first she will be having one.

The others have yet to go out of their rooms, possibly because they are still preparing, As for the elves, they went to lunch much earlier. Since the two wanted to eat an early lunch, Renatta decided to join them as well,

Pandora helped me with cooking. She can now stand albeit not that great just yet but she can now stand without much need for the crutch so she helped me with preparing vegetables. It took a bit of time before the others went outside from their rooms who are all hungry.

"Remember, don't be afraid of them. They will welcome you with open arms, so be confident and introduce yourself to them."

Pandora smiled. A smile of relief and happiness combined. To me, this is just a minor thing but for her, this is something major and she didn't want it to f*ck up. She decided to take the first step to the road for her friends.
