Two days have passed since Theo destroyed his cell phone.
During those two days, Theo was still in a dilemma about the events he had experienced. He was still skeptical about any supernatural intervention. But the event before is absurd, his logic cannot keep up.
What was seen before his eyes seemed so real. So Theo could not refute it as an illusion.
Theo tried to find similar events on the internet. Searched various forums without any satisfactory results. There's no such thing as what happened to him.
Let alone the events, the game that was installed on his phone, no one knew at all.
Isekai Guide.
There are no search results for this game on the internet. When Theo wrote in the forum to ask about his experience. They reply that he is hallucinating, influenced by many isekai books or just think that he is just joking.
There were even some who advised Theo to go to a psychologist. Afraid that he already has a mental disorder.
Reading this suggestion made Theo immediately delete his post. Because the content of the comments on the posts become more ridiculous, and even makes him angry.
After two days, Theo bought a new cell phone.
Inserting a sim card, then installing the required application, Theo replied to various messages from family and work relatives over the past two days. Give some reason that his cell phone is broken.
Less than an hour after his new phone was turned on. Suddenly a notification appears on the phone screen. Covers the chat application column that Theo is reading.
Read the contents of the notification. All the hairs on Theo's body immediately stood up. Like a bad dream about to be forgotten showing itself to be remembered.
"...shit."
Theo went straight to the menu from his phone. Found the Isekai Guide game icon already stood there.
"Ugh."
The man's expression immediately darkened. He touched the icon, opened the game and found the same female character as before.
"Rosalina…"
Theo muttered as he let out a long breath. He tried to calm himself, even though he was very wary of the mysterious and suspicious application.
The last time Theo opened the app was during the day, which time in the game was night.
Meanwhile, the time in his apartment right now is night. While in the game it is morning before noon.
Theo could see Rosalina working as a guild employee. Standing behind the reception desk, serving adventurers who are about to take on missions.
"Hmm, isn't she an adventurer? Why is she even working as a receptionist?"
Theo was a bit confused. From the data he read yesterday, he remembered that Rosalina was a low-class adventurer. Not to mention, the woman practiced swordsmanship at night.
But, who would have thought that two days later, Theo found Rosalina working as a guild employee.
Seeing this, Theo questioned the purpose of Rosalina's life. Shouldn't he lead the woman to kill the Demon Lord, so that she can return to Earth?
Hadn't that woman been in Etheria for ten years?
So, what was the woman really doing all this time? Instead of going on adventures and strengthening herself. Theo instead sees the character working from the safe side, away from danger. How should he lead this weak woman to fight the Demon Lord?
"This game is trash…"
Theo muttered, feeling that the character in the game itself had no intention of playing her role as the main character.
"..."
Theo stared at Rosalina on the screen for the next few minutes. Absolutely no changes or instructions whatsoever for him. Not even a button to speed up the normal time in simulation games.
There are no pause and stop buttons.
Theo then recalled the miraculous incident two days ago. He didn't want to think about it, but somehow his little heart told him that what he saw on the screen was reality.
Theo thought for a moment. He then glanced at the mission icon on the screen.
'Let's try again.'
He thought, which directly touched the mission icon. Opened three blank windows like the one he saw two days ago.
Because this is an experiment. Theo thought of giving an easy mission.
The first mission Theo wrote down was to say 'Good Morning!' to ten adventurers. The gift Theo scanned was a can of beer. There is no penalty for failure. And the specified time period is one hour.
The second mission is to shout 'I'm Beautiful!' out loud. The gift prepared by Theo was a loaf of bread. Just like before, there are no penalties for this mission. The time frame given is five minutes.
The third mission, staring into the eyes of the three adventurers who came for a minute without blinking. If successful, then a pen is the prize. No penalties with a duration of thirty minutes.
Theo double-checked all the missions he had written down. Since Rosalina was at work, this was all Theo could think of as a mission that could be carried out along with her job as a receptionist.
"Hmm, yep. No problem. Easy and simple."
Theo confirmed all three of the mission's choices. Which was then immediately sent to Rosalina.
On the screen, he could see the woman was stunned. Read the three missions carefully then muttered.
[Tch, is this system really an idiot?]
"Huh?"
Hearing Rosalina's response, Theo immediately felt humiliated.
***
On the other hand,
Rosalina who had just read the three missions the system had given. Began to doubt the IQ of the system.
Two days have passed and during that time the system is back in 'sleep' mode.
Now, after the system restarts. The three missions given really look ridiculous. Two days ago there was an impossible mission. This time there is a mission that looks stupid.
Rosalina felt that the system was probably still sleeping and was wandering in a dream world.
"Mmmm."
Rosalina massaged her forehead. All the missions in front of her are easy to do. But two of the three missions would hurt her pride. She would look like a lunatic, if suddenly shouted or glared at the adventurers who came to her table.
'Let's choose the first mission.' She muttered in her heart.
The second and third missions didn't just embarrass her. The prizes are not very attractive either. A loaf of bread and a pen. Rosalina didn't know how she felt when saw these gifts.
One can of beer. Although during Rosalina's time on Earth, she had never drank alcohol. But in Etheria, alcohol has become one of the drinks she often consumes.
Not only curious about the taste of modern alcohol. But considering the effects of yesterday's energy drink. Rosalina wanted to know if there were any other effects in different types of drink.
In less than thirty minutes. Rosalina successfully completed her mission.
A system window telling her to accept a gift appeared. Rosalina recalled yesterday's incident, where a dimensional crack was created to receive the gift.
"Misha."
Call Rosalina to another female co-worker who was sitting in the back of the reception room.
"Hmm, what's wrong. Rose?"
"Please replace me for a while. I need to go to the bathroom."
"Okay, okay."
Rosalina then went to the bathroom. Close the door tightly. Then confirm the gift.
The cracks of space occurred again before her eyes. A dark blue and silver drink can fall from the crack. Rosalina immediately caught it. Looking at the can carefully, she decides to drink it later at home.
Rosalina went to her private office as the guild treasurer. Put the beer can in the bag. Before finally returning to help the receptionist work in the lobby.
