Volume 2 Chapter 2 Apocalypse Online In The Public And Farewell
After leaving the school grounds I and Vanessa start to walk to talk about what will we do in the game later. Vanessa took out her phone and start to tell me new information about the game.
Vanessa: The game will now follow the time in the real world
Alice: Why did they change the flow of time from the beta? Did they tell the reason for the change
Vanessa: Wait let me check
Hearing that I wait for Vanessa to read the information about why the admins changed the flow of time. While walking together I saw that Vanessa was about to hit a lamp post so I full her forcefully.
Vanessa: Whoops thanks I almost hit a lamp post hehe
Alice: No problem so what did you find
Vanessa: Ahh that they say that the brain can't handle 8 days of being compressed in a single day will be a heavy burden to the brain so the time dilation will be used only in the event
Alice: Ok that's reasonable
Vanessa: they also add that the players can adjust the [Status] menu they say that some player has a lot of skills and it's quite messy so that why they add this feature
Alice: that's great I can now tidy my skill my [Status] screen is quite messy hehe
After talking for a while we reach the junction so I say goodbye to Vanessa and continue to walk toward my house. After teaching my house I clean and start to cook my dinner being an orphan I need to learn how to maintain the house's cleanliness and learn to cook my food luckily my parent left me a huge inheritance that I can't spend for a lifetime. After that, I start to wear the headgear and lay down and turn on the headgear.
[Welcome back to Apocalypse Online Carmilla]
After a few seconds of blindness, I was back where I was forcefully logged out I look around but I don't find Stella anywhere so I start to look around where there was no blood on the floor anymore so I can now see the floor.
When I reach the middle where the heart was floating I saw that there is an entrance hidden by the blood so I open it to see stairs heading downwards I use [Fire Magic] to make a small fireball float in front of me to illuminate the surrounding so I go down the stairs after a few minutes of walking I saw a dead end but I remember that the entrance of the dungeon has the same mechanism so I investigate around and I surprisingly I found a very tiny needle so I poke my finger on it to let my blood out and it easily pierces my finger and when my blood reach the floor it's starting to glow so I back away.
Then I saw the floor slowly disappear and a blood-red orb started to float after that the light slowly dissipate so I walked toward the orb when I saw in front of the orb I suddenly feel someone saw in back so I turn around to see Stella standing at the end of stairs.
An: I will use Carmilla in the game and I will use Alice out of the game.
Carmilla: Whoa you're being creepy again
Stella: Fufufu I see that you found the dungeon core and for your information, I was informed by the dungeon that you enter this area
Carmilla: Is that so, your still acting creepy for monitoring me like a stalker
I look at her with an 'I understand look' but seeing that Stella was ignoring my look so I change the subject
Alice: So what are doing here?
Stella: I was gonna inform you that once you take over the dungeon I will be dispelled
Alice: What do you mean you will be dispelled
I look at Stella with a questioning look. Seeing that Stella start to explain
Stella: You remember I told you that I was just a will left by the original Vampire Progenitor right
Alice: Right you told me that 'sniff' so what is the connection to 'sniff' you disappearing
I was almost crying while talking I was forcing myself to not cry Stella was the first person even if she was just an NPC she was just like a real person, she responded to me when we are conversing so I feel like she was a real person.
Stella: Silly child when you take over the dungeon my job will be over that's why I will disappear
Alice: Why do you have to disappear
Stella: Ok stop crying you can still see me in the future and that will be the real me so grow stronger and find me
Alice: Ok I will find you in the future
Alice's voice was full of conviction. After saying that Alice touches the dungeon core and Stella's body starts to turn to dust starting her feet slowly climbing her body.
Stella: Goodbye Carmilla
Alice: Goodbye Stella thank you for teaching me
While saying start Alice bow her body at 90 degrees angle.
Stella: Fufufu no problem you are also a fast learner farewell
After a few minutes, I look up to see that Stella was now gone and I was left in the room alone.
