"uhm..." Lliw pursed his lips and his cheeks turned red in embarrassment. He used to play a lot if games so he was quite knowledgeable about which abilities were good and which weren't. His ability was just...
"Well come on. I don't have time to wait" the golden woman urged.
"It's... Called
"Wow,"shook her head in dismay"I I really didn't think it'd be the weakest one possible" she laughed sadly.
"Well, it's ok. Here's a gift from me to you" she said and a golden light circled around them before entering Lliw's body.
"What was that? " He asked.
" You'll know when you get stronger" She said with a gentle smile.
"So, any questions?" She asked
"... Are you going to be ok?" He asked, concerned. He was surprised that she didn't just abandon him and saved herself.
"Mm...well that depends on you" She said with a teasing smile.
"Mm. I won't let you down" he said, silently vowing.
"Don't worry, I'll be there to guide you so you won't be alone" she said while gently caressing his cheeks
" Any other question?" She asked.
"....Do you have someone you like?" He asked bashfully.
"..."
****
Lliw woke up to find a sleeping beauty in his arms, also his upper body was naked. He saw that the sleeping beauty was wearing a hospital gown which he figured must have been his. He saw that she was sleeping very comfortably and, as one who knew how difficult to get a good sleep, he sympathized with her and let her continue sleeping.
He felt it was inappropriate to sleep on the same bed as her so he tried to get off but, she unconsciously held onto him and snuggles up even closer.
"...er.." He was taken aback by the way the girl acted however he didn't disturb her. He had to lay like that for over an hour.
He didn't suffer any injustice though because, who wouldn't want a beautiful sleeping in their arms and he also used the rare chance to relax and then slowly digest what had happened.
He knew it wasn't a dream since one of the girls was sleeping next to him and the next the other was who knows where. Although Lliw asked vehemently for her to tell him where she'd go, she refused.
Apparently, she was going to tell him before he asked her 'that' question. She got really mad at him for asking but he still felt like he wasn't wrong.
Just imagine, you run into the most beautiful woman you've ever seen. As a single male wouldn't you want to know about her relationship status so that you can know whether to advance or retreat?
However she did say that they were going to meet each other again real soon.
Before bringing him back , she explained a bit about this world known as [Guardians sanctuary]. The world was divided into 7 zones namely Red, Orange, Green, Blue, Indigo and violet. The red zone was where the most powerful people resided and the violet was where the new recruits resided.
In each zone, there was a Main Hall where all the guardians or recruits could go to a accept quests. Guardians and recruits had to complete mandatory missions and then if they felt like it, they could also complete side missions. The recruits were never forced to become recruits, they had accepted all of its perks along with it's drawbacks. If a recruit failed to honor the deal, there would be repercussions. The first punishment was that one would be in a coma for a week. The second was 2 weeks and it increased progressively in that fashion.
Lliw had promised to help their cause and he wasn't planning on reneging on that promise. The Bridge to the [Guardians sanctuary] was only open at midnight till 5 am in the morning. Lliw didn't know how he'd manage it but he was sure that his branch manager would allow him a single free night a week.
Since the [Guardians sanctuary] was basically a game, He didn't have to worry about dying in real life. He could revive each time he died, albeit with a penalty but that was to be expected.
An amazing thing about the game is that it could improve a person's body. As a person grew stronger, the change would be reflected on their real body on earth, albeit much worse. Still, players were much stronger than the average people. However, they couldn't bring their abilities to earth.
Lliw's was deep in his thoughts when he suddenly felt something move beside him. He then remembered that he had a beauty in his arms.
Xiao Hua woke up feeling refreshed. She just had a very comfortable sleep. She lazily opened her eyes and finally saw the situation she was in.
"..."
" Hey" Lliw greeted with a smile.
' uhm... Hi" she quickly calmed herself and sat up. She saw the Lliw's naked upper body and blushed while handing the gown.
"Sorry about that" she said.
" No problem. In fact I should thank you. My body's all feeling much better. In fact, it's much better than before." He said as he put on the gown. All the injuries he'd sustained before were magically healed and he even felt stronger.
" Just... Why did you help me? I don't think we are acquainted" he asked.
" I didn't do it for you, I did it for my grandpa" she said.
"Your grandpa?" He asked.
" My surname is Mu" she said after they both got off the bed .
"Ohhhhh. I see. You must be old man Mu's granddaughter." Lliw said excitedly.
" But, how did you find me here?" He asked
" I followed you" she said
Lliw's eye twitched slightly. He suddenly imagined her in some shifty getup, sneakily stalking him from a hidden corner.
~pa~
"Whatever weird thoughts you're having, that's not it at all" she smacked his head. In fact, looking at him she felt annoyed.
~pa~
"Oww.." she controlled her strength so it didn't really hurt that much. However, it wasn't that pleasant either. Amidst the storm of slaps, he protected his head and raised his hands to grab hers. She saw through his plan and dodged his hands before attempting to smack him again. They went back and forth like this until he finally caught her hands. They felt very smooth and soft but he didn't have the leisure to appreciate that as she was relentless in her attempt to smack him. They each pushed each other in a stalemate until she decided to free her hands by pulling her hands back.
When she suddenly withdrew her strength and pulled in the same direction he was pushing, he lost his balance and fell on top her.
~thud~
They knocked over the bedding as they fell onto the floor.
"🤯" They both froze in shock when they saw the situation they were in.
~click~
The door opened and the nurse came in.
"...." She was quite shocked by the scene.
Xiao Hua was on the floor with Lliw on top of her. There was a sheet covering most of their bodies but the 2's lips were locked in a kiss.
"Excuse me" she said panickedly and quickly escaped before shutting the door.
"..."
