"Help me out," Tornado asked for help and Asitana didn't know what she should do.
'How am I going to help him?' Her physical strength is below average and even if her physical strength is superhuman, wait, should it be superAI? She would pluck him out as if it was a carrot.
After her words, the same thing occurs.
[ 🔎 ]
Searching…
The sudden appearance of the panel box and everything inside it surprised her a little, especially that jingle sound when the panel box appeared, it was reverberating on her ears.
[Completed! No options are available.]
Weird, she muttered. Shouldn't it be working? She thought with her finger pinch her chin. Seemingly no choice, she looked at Tornado.
"Tornado, what can I do?"
"Hmm, can you search for anything that could be used to dig?"
For him, it would be easy to release himself from here but his body is numb and he can't felt his four limbs!
"Ok, but before that, what happened?" Asitana asked.
How can trap in a burning car ended up buried in the ground with only his head left? This leaves her perplexed and Tornado forced a smile, just think about what just happened, it was embarrassing.
"After the car crashed, I was ok without any injuries, I get out and met this weird creature." He paused, look at the sky tried to remember what just happen, "I don't know what happened. When I saw its eyes, my vision turns dark and ended up losing my consciousness and when I woke up, here I am."
A high-level player like him put into asleep because of a weird creature, just think about it makes him lose a face.
Right, this is the first time he met such a creature, just what is that thing? Suddenly appears and disappears like a ghost, what's more.
That creature buried him underground except his head, which is fortunate actually. If that creature buried him alive, he would never open his eyes again!
Yet again, why it buried him? Why he lost consciousness when looked at its eyes?
If he thinks about it, at that moment, the creature's eyes are the only thing he could remember. Its form, size, or height. Non could be found on his brain.
He will think that later on, for now, he must get out from here.
.

As Tornado buried under the ground except for his head and Asitana search a tool to dig him out.
"Wait a moment Ichizora-san! Something's wrong." Jun shouted in panic when Kino about to exited the door.
Kino stops her pace, "what's wrong?"
Jun didn't answer her question, instead, she snaps her finger and the wall next to her right began to transform.
The walls turned into many parts and twist here and there, showing a cool transition to a big white screen, like those on cinema and beneath it is a bunch of buttons.
Curious and surprised attacked Kino's body at the same time. All this while, she thought the room is just an ordinary one but this, Kino can't help but asked, "Jun, what is going on?"
Without hiding anything, Jun explain it to her. The white room is a gift from Tornado, he found it in an ancient temple, deep in that mysterious mountain.
Jun herself didn't know how he brought the room all the way here but she keeps the question to herself.
The room capable to manifest imaginations to reality, so when Jun imagine a big screen on the wall with a bunch of buttons beneath it, the room's wall changed into one.
Jun then do a simple example.
She pictures herself in a field full of blooming flowers, the room's scenery instantly changed and the walls earlier, a pure white is now turned into a vast field with flowers dancing beautifully as the wind passed them.
The ceilings are the blue cloudless sky and the sun shines brightly, gives them a warm sensation.
It feels so real, Kino wouldn't even know if she actually in a room if she somehow loses memory and wakes up here.
"So this is the reason."
She realized something, the first time she met Jun, the latter is smiling and calm, as if this place is the most comfortable place to live on the planet, and it actually is!
Imagine anything and it becomes reality, how that guy managed to find something like this without causing a huge uproar?
A robot contains data for a way to levelling up fast should be normal if only a few parties knew of its existence but a room like this, it should be an impossible feat if it doesn't cause an uproar!
The scenery then instantly changed into a dark room with the big screen as the only thing exuding a light.
The room is dim and quiet, Kino takes a step back from the door.
"What's your plan?"
Surely she has a plan, if not, how come she stopped her?
"Nothing at the time, Jun stopped you because these players suddenly left."
"Left?" She asked doubtfully and Jun nodded.
They just intrude the shack then left without gain anything, are these guys eat the wrong medicine or something?
The secret passage leading here is wide open, it was saying, 'come and get in!' why would these guys suddenly left.
Could it be they thought that the passageway is full of traps and they back down? But that possibility should be out from the list.
Considering the highest one is 600, it should be safe to assume the rest is high-level players.
What? Is the rest going to be level 300? It should be impossible, level 450 is the average one for players, below than that is beyond 10%!
Players on that levels should have an item to neutralize traps and even deactivate them!
"What are they doing when they entered the shack? Any idea?" Kino asked, in every action, there lies a motive.
"They touch few types of furniture and their mouth move weirdly as they do it."
A deep frown etched on her forehead as she crossed her arms and at the same time, her head look at the floor, walking to and fro, seemingly in deep thought.
A few breaths later, she stopped and looked at Jun with a grim and dark face, she knows why they touch the furniture.
"Jun, you need to hide right now!" She hurriedly browsed her inventory while Jun is confused, "Ichizora-san, is everything ok?"
.

Asitana and Tornado still at the same place but there's a progress thanks to Asitana found a little shovel nearby.
Using that, she digs out the soil around Tornado but her little body gets tired every 5 minutes.
She takes a rest for a minute and Tornado didn't complain, he's the one who needs help, so complaining even after getting help is only what thick skin people would do.
After she stops, on the sky, there's something that looks like a falling star, Asitana noticed it, "how beautiful, look at that thing Tornado! What is that?"
"That is called a falling star." but, Tornado didn't sure if that thing is indeed a falling star, the way it moves is strange.
This makes him doubt and when he saw something weird on it with his eyes. He is sure.
Before he is sure it was not a falling star, his pupil grows wide then shrank for a few times as if a camera zooming in and out, only a handful of people can do this.
He noticed that, the thing looks like a missile, a small one.
"Asitana, I don't think that was a falling star." He said with his eyelids half-closed.
"Hurry, quick! Grab a pendant under my shirt!"
Thanks to the hard work from her, his neck and chest are free from the soil, he could use his arms to struggle and free himself but it was still numb.
Astana is surprised by his words but she does it without asking. Shortly after, the pendant is on her hand.
It was a beautiful pendant with a green gemstone and a beautiful carving around it.
"So beautiful," she can't help but touched it with her little finger and then, the pendant let out a green glow.
The glow slowly fades away, however, there is something left behind. It was a holographic screen of small tiles, numbering to 64 slots, it was like those in Minecraft inventory but with different colors and design.
"It was a space storage!" Asitana was stunned by the sight. A small pendant is in truth was a storage space, how convenient!
She knew about the storage space when talking to Uno at that medical room before Tornado arrived, Uno left by jumping out of the window as soon Tornado arrived.
Most storage space takes form as a small bag and smaller than those is very rare to the point if one sells it on the auction house, no need to care about money anymore. It would be enough even for 3 descendants without working!
Furthermore, this pendant takes up to 64 slots and if she remembers it right, 24 slots should be maxed for most smaller storage space than the ordinary one, this pendant is more precious than any core material on the game!
Fell dazed, Tornado had to shout for a few times, "Asitana! Asitana! Hey useless AI!"
At the third word, she came back to reality and sheepishly scratch her head, "Hehe, sorry."
Tornado ignore her words, instead, he ordered her.
"Drink the maroon colored potion, it was a recovering stamina potion and could enchant your physical strength by 50%!"
