Chapter 4 - Dumpling Dinner

"Ah! It hurts," Amy said as she pressed her belly

"It's been two hours since you were unconscious," Master said as she was squeezing a small towel in a bucket

Master was doing a warm compression for Amy to feel better.

It really hurts! I remember we were attacked by that small monster." Amy responded as she toucher her hair

"Yes! effectively." Master acknowledged

"You unlocked a special power from the dark nature..."

"What is dark nature?" Amy asked

"Dark nature is the strongest nature that exists after light nature. It involves spiritual and time-stopping techniques which will be likely to trap the enemy and give you an advantage when fighting. I did not want to reveal to you about dark nature to avoid getting you scared."...

"Is dark nature dangerous?" Amy asked frightened

"Dark nature cultivators live in a village where everything seems black and their eyes never see the light. They are not demons but are to fight demons who will enter the country. They are very strong but very and arrogant. It's unknown if they will come to be social as before." Master said

"What happened to them?" Amy asked

"Well, it all begins when the great ruler Odyssey who is the god of all cultivators was reigning over the land..."

"And protected the villages and all the countries of Virtual Adventure Ultimate defense." Amy continued speaking as she had previously read the preamble of the game so many times.

"How do you know that?" Master asked amazed

Amy was frightened and hastily spoke anything that came to her mind.

"I do not know anything. Was I dreaming just now?" she said laughing as if nothing happened

"All you have to know is that they are monstrous and isolated from all levels of this country. So you better be careful and only a god-level cultivator like Great Odyssey can save them..."

"Wait! If they are that monstrous, will I be too?" Amy screamed nervously

"You can't. Because you also have light and heavenly nature and they can control dark nature and its dangers."...

Then, why did dark nature awaken so suddenly?" Amy asked

"I still don't know but I will carry out further investigation."

"Master Angelica, you're the best."

...

Amy went to a café shop with Adrian after finishing her treatment at the temple.

"Thank you for inviting me to dinner tonight!" Amy said smiling

"No problem Amy! I hope it doesn't disturb your planning." Adrian said

"Are you kidding? It's so pleasant to get a break from all the practice I have to do." She said as she looked at the sunset in the sky

"I love this café. It is so lovely"

"Me too and it's not only cheaper but it's one of the first cafés to open in the village," Adrian exclaimed

"Really it's awesome and it is a genius idea to open a café in a village," Amy said

"You know what?"

"What?"...

" At school it's great and you can't imagine how I got so well in cultivation. I'm in the "pre-awaken stage." He said

"Pre-awaken stage?" she screamed

"Gosh, he gets faster and faster in his level." Amy thought worried

"Hope he does well in the sword." she thought once more

"What level are you?" he asked

"I'm in the middle stage but I'm no better than you," she said

"It is okay, you will get much more," he said trying to make Amy feel better

Cheers for your progress! Amy went on

"Cheers!" they cried drinking each an ice-cold cocktail.

"Come, I want to show you something."

"It's a secret!"

"Where do you want me to go?" Amy asked confused

"We will go to the library." He responded

"The library? Why will he want to go to the library?" Amy asked herself

"I thought he hated books..."

...

"I found a secret, that is really valuable and is limited edition," Adrian said as his eyes were gleaming

"What's it?" She asked curiously

"This old book!" He said as he showed the book she previously hid

"Huh!? Where on earth did you find this book and how did you find it?" Amy asked

<> _ _ _ A word like this rattled in her head.

"Speak!"

"When I was training on my finding technique, instead of finding my bracelet I found a strange old book which dated 500 years and it is one of the most demanded books ever." He said

"Why did you have to practice finding techniques in such magnificent weather?" Amy thought putting her hand on her forehead

"Is anything wrong?" he asked

"I just want to say this book is no good place in your hands and the hands of anyone."

"Only a godly power stage cultivator knows how to use this type of book."...

"How do you know all of that?" Adrian asked

"Oops, I played this game so many times and I know everything about it." She thought

"Amy, why don't you want me to keep this book?" Adrian asked confused

"I'm sorry but it's all we have to do. It contains precious information but can easily become a source of danger if not preserved." Amy yelled seriously

"Leave it to me and then I will give it back to you." He insisted

"Do I make a good choice to leave it in his hands?"...

"After all, he was very complacent about finding such a book and he is my most trusted friend in this game."

Amy smiled and handed him the book.

"I will leave it to you for now," Amy said looking around

"Thank you, Amy!"

"Come let's have dinner. For tonight it's dumplings." He cheered on

"Humm, sweet dumplings!" she said dreaming about their sweet taste

...

The night was chill and the people were calm outside. This time, Amy and Adrian were not in the café but went to an open restaurant.

"My sweet dumplings are so yummy!" Amy cried

"Thank you for inviting me to dinner. These dumplings are so good."

"No problem!" Adrian said

"I'm really sorry for being aggressive lately and I will not eat much because of my cultivation," Amy said with a deceitful voice

She felt guilt for having to act badly and could not keep it in her heart.

"It's nothing! At least I thank you for coming."

"Talking about it, you have many interesting things to tell me about that book," Adrian said looking crafty

Adrian was persuaded she knew something about the book as they coincidentally fell on it together and thought Amy could tell him more about it.

Amy was not determined to tell him anything and instead not to become a lightbulb.

"No, I don't have anything to tell you. It's so obvious, look how the sky is starry and all those shiny stars," she said embarrassingly showing at the sky

"Phew! hopes he forgets about all of this." She evoked putting her hand on her forehead sighing

"What is this noise?" Adrian asked curiously

"Help a bandit!" villagers screamed

The villagers were all after a bandit who was extremely researched and trialed for several crimes. He was also extremely dangerous and frequently came to the village to get food and materials.

"Help!" a man said with a pale voice

"Be careful!" someone said

As people spoke someone snatched the book from Adrian's hands.

Amy and Adrian were in an open "terrasse" and the thief could easily snatch the book with no lapse. Adrian had not felt for a second how the thief seized the book. It was quick leaving no mark. Both Amy and Adrian were left confused.

"The book!" Adrian and Amy screamed
