It has been an hour now since we started playing.
Other than those monsters banging at my door when we create some noise, they just strangely left after maybe satisfyingly banging on the door.
It had been already three days had already passed and I and my five new roommates were quietly settled down in the place. The electricity was working fine but I made sure that my two power banks were always full and even my laptop. Then my phone as well. There was no telling that the electricity might go off all of the sudden.
"Next time, I will be the one to lie down on the bed."
"Hah. As a noble lady, I needed to be the one who would lie down on the bed. You commoners deserve to lie down on the sofa or that mattress or whatever thing you called that thing at."
"As the most gorgeous being in the world. I only deserve the best treatment."
Well, the red-haired guy whose name was Star. Kinda reminded me of Patrick Star who was now regularly quarreling with Edina.
"Again!"
"Ah yes."
While Uriel and Sia were fascinated by playing video games on my PS5. Sometimes I am even wondering if we were at the apocalypse or trapped in my dorm room. I tried to check my phone again but my brother was not sending me any messages. He was not answering my calls either.
Maybe I could try calling other people as well. But when I checked my caller log list, only my brother was there. 'I'm really a loner.'
I simply checked the net and there were other people who were in a similar situation to us. Trap in other places and they needed to survive in a month telling everyone that there was this translucent screen appearing in them. However so far, none of them featured people who came from another world.
My attention caught onto some vlog.
"You seemed busy looking at your Zelpawn."
"Nathan, it's a cellphone." I simply looked at him then back to my phone. "I'm just checking the news updates in every part of the world."
"This world is truly fascinating and all its advanced technology. To think that such a small device would contain a year's worth of books in a library. And could even make you communicate easily with one click to any part of the world."
{Especially the other books pertaining to the Art of War. And the modern tactics and weapons that could be used to bring down the tyrant king. Once I come back, I can use all of this knowledge for his destruction and for the peace of the kingdom.}
Ah. I should turn off the Mind Reading Skill for now. Mind Reading off.
"Yeah." Well, that was the only way I could respond to him. Then I noticed that he was holding my Science textbook.
"Did you read that?" I asked.
"Yes." Nathan nodded his head. "This book has a lot of theories and facts that I didn't know."
"How come you understand the text language?"
"Ah, that might be due to my skill. Language. Where I can understand any language even if I didn't study it." Nathan explained.
"That is quite convenient."
"Yes, it is."
There was an awkward silence that filled the air.
"Um, I should cook dinner now," I said as I stood up from my seat.
"Then let me help..."
"It's alright," I said with a polite smile. "I can handle the cooking just fine."
"Your face says otherwise," Nathan said as he just gave up helping.
"Yeah. If you understand, haha." I laughed awkwardly. Then headed to the kitchen.
Nobles couldn't cook. When I let them cook yesterday both Nathan and Edina yesterday, the whole kitchen became a disaster. And we couldn't afford to waste any food and were forced to eat the burned-out foods. Just remembering it gave me more headaches. However, it was surprising that Edina easily adapted to the place. I thought she would throw more tantrums like the first two days.
"Help me wear my dress."
"I don't need to cook. What is this shabby-looking meal?!"
"It was passable. I'll eat it. Hmph."
Just remembering those first two days was surely tiring.
I would just fry some chicken for now then rice. That would suffice.

When we finished our dinner. My mind was still active and wasn't able to sleep. Edina was already sleeping in the bed and the others were sleeping on the mattress. Sia was sleeping on the sofa already.
I slowly stood up and made my way to the balcony of my room. Those monsters were still walking aimlessly on the roads. I wondered once the month was over were we going to fight those?
Fight? Hahaha. "I already let go of that past and yet here I am thinking of those things again."
I pressed my hands on the railings and as expected there was an invisible barrier on it.
"So you are a commoner here." My smile faltered when I heard that haughty voice.
"I can't sleep." I chuckled.
"What's funny with my words? You dare to laugh at me?" Edina said as she walked closer to me. She was not wearing her frilly dress now a
"Yes. Yes. I will not laugh at you, Milady."
Edina frowned at my sarcasm. However, we didn't say anything other than looking at the scenery.
"Hey, commoner. This world is really strange. My world still has buildings but whenever I look outside my room, there is a huge garden with lots of flowers. My father created a one-hectare garden just for me."
{Now be envious, commoner. I have a far more beautiful place to live. Though the technology here is pretty decent, especially the eye-pad, those movies. Ah! What am I even thinking?! Be jealous now, commoner!]
"It is such a nice place to live." I smiled at her. "Your father must have loved you dearly."
"Of course!" But her expression for the first time held pain.
{I really miss my father.}
She was really just a spoiled rich child. "Better go to sleep now and it would be bad for esteemed ladies to have huge black bags under their eyes," I said as I walked past her.
{Black eye bags!}
The night was already deep and I decided to head to the living room where no one was there. I picked up my phone and checked back one of the comments I saw before.
Watching the streams and reading some blogs would not be enough. I pressed the invite link and I was immediately directed to the group site.
- Yes - No> I immediately pressed the Yes button. I typed Whitecloud in the username and as for the password I simply typed darkclouds. And after a few confirmations, I was finally directed to the site.
