CHAPTER 23 – BACK ON EARTH.
Last night as I closed my eyes, I felt like I'd dropped from one place and got landed on a soft bed.
That's how I open my eyes to earth.
I have a question, how would a person react when you are reading a fantasy novel? In which the main character decided to stay in another world.
At that time, we say that's so cliché, why does every main character prefer another world.
But have you ever wondered why?
There is a term called 'reality'. It's human nature that we often decide to avoid it but that's not the only problem.
Throughout high school, I was told by my father (Asher Gray), that I needed to be responsible and to know everything before taking any action. I was also told not to rely on anyone and be capable on my own.
How nice of him to teach me that? I have completely lost faith in the word 'Hope.'
Is it for the good? I don't know because even if I had to struggle, I made sure to never rely on someone.
Sigh…
Anyway, since I am a so-called responsible person. I am told to make my own decision in life. No one will question me because that's what I have decided for myself.
My mother (Belle Gray), is a kind and humble mother as she always takes care of me and my needs.
Lastly, my sister (Gabbi Gray), is a few years older than me, but she is hardworking but also airheaded sometimes.
I think I have quite an average family or so do I say but I never felt at home here. I wonder when I started to grow up, I felt like getting more distant from others or felt like something is missing, something important in me.
Maybe I don't know why the main characters of novels decide to stay in other worlds, but I can at least understand how they feel.
Damn, now I sound cringey.
*Ahem
Anyway, nothing big happens as I wasn't away for long, but I guess my mom was worried the most. I apologized as much as I can and my sister hugged me after seeing me back.
Maybe I simplified this story a bit much because they must be more worried than they let it see me. Searching for me every day and everywhere must be hard.
I guess I'm glad to be back…
"..."
Well, anyway no one will know there is a world full of adventures. I guess the fantasy genre will be there forever in this type of story.
"Oh, there are way too many notifications.", Turning on my phone I noticed tons of missed calls and unread messages.
"Huh? What is this?", Among these notifications, there was a new invite group message.
"Looks like girls created a group chat. They really don't want to forget each other."
When I entered the group chat, it was written as 'The Adventurers.'
Emma: Welcome everyone, thanks for joining the group chat
Sakura: Of course, we will join it, we need to keep in touch. We are the adventurers >_<
Cho – Hee: So, why the name of the group is The Adventurers?
Emma: Because we are adventurers from another world!
Cho – Hee: I see…
Sakura: Where is Alvin?
Alvin: I'm here...
Sakura: Then reply and always remember to read our messages! Okay?
Alvin: Yeah, I got it!
Sakura: Good. ||
They are likely as always.
*ring – ring.
"A call?", suddenly a call came through when I was going to do something else.
"Alvin, you are back? I just saw you online.",
"Yeah, you know, wouldn't be able to talk if I wasn't here."
"Oh, yeah! So, when did you come back?"
This is Eric, one of my best friends. Always energetic and ready to go out with everyone, he is a streamer and a decent one. He often plays games on stram but sometimes he vlogs as well.
"I guess you could say that I came back today?"
"Today? Wait, let's meet up."
"Nah, I am a bit busy. How about I meet you tomorrow in class?"
"Oh okay! Hey, get ready for midterms as well. You didn't attend any classes but in a week there is will be midterms. Well, cya."
The moment I hear about midterms, I realized I'm doomed.
Now I regret coming back to earth.
Uh... What should do? I didn't attend any classes since starting of this semester. I can see what's going to happen…
Can I still go back to that world???
