"Goodbye, my friend, Goodbye my family like this I shall take my last step to heaven."
She strode confidently towards the airplane, making it clear that she and another passenger were unlikely to meet again. A fellow traveler on the same flight gave her a strange look, but she ignored it and carried on as if nothing had happened. Taking her seat, she began reading a book titled "How to Be No. 1 in Everything." When a passenger sitting beside her laughed at the title, she was irritated and asked him to be quiet. However, he dismissed her request and continued to mock the book she was reading.
"What's with the title? Hahaha, it's so funny," the boy asked and began to laugh even more. "What's so funny about it that made you laugh so hard?" she asked him with a glare.
"Okay, okay, chill. I won't say that again. But do you have to read this kind of book?"
"Is there a problem with me reading this?" She rolled her eyes and continued reading her book. He didn't say anything for a moment and then started again.
"Well, my name is Kai. What's yours?"
"Aurora," she said without even looking at him.
"That's a very nice name-"
"Just nice," she cut off his word.
"No... it's a very good name and suits you very well," he said, while panicking, which made her laugh.
"Why are you laughing?"
"No reason," she replied.
They began to get along well and talked about anything that caught their interest. She also noticed how handsome Kai was. He had blue eyes with a mole under his left eye. He was also loud and funny. Soon, their 5-hour flight was about to land, but it felt like 5 minutes for them.
After they got off the flight, she asked for his contact, but he refused to give it.
"I won't be able to give you my contact but here; take this as a present and with this by your side I will eventually find you" he gave her his bracelet which he was wearing and hugged her.
She softly pushed him away, seeing him behave like this made her feel strange, and said "Why are you behaving like this? Are we filming some kind of drama? Where is the camera?".
He smiled softly and replied "So many questions, I won't be able to answer any of them but as long as you kiss this bracelet I will be at your service" he left as he finished talking.
Later that night, she kept remembering what he had said and couldn't understand the sudden change in his attitude. One time he is playful and funny then the next time he is serious.
'what's with the kissing bracelet and at your service thing meant that so random and stupid'
She was so curious about the bracelet and the thing he had told her, which led her to kiss the bracelet without thinking. She paused and noticed that nothing happened.
"Nothing happened-" Her words were cut off by the flashlight that appeared in front of her. She couldn't speak for a moment due to the shock.
"I didn't know that you were so desperate to meet me, my lady," said the man as he showed up completely dressed in blue and white clothes. He had pale skin with blue marks on his body. As he looked toward her and lifted his head, his eyes, which were purple, and his long white hair made him look as pure as an angel.
"You...you who are you?" she asked while shuttering.
"I am the guy that you talked to on the airplane and the guy that gave you that bracelet." He said while approaching her slowly.
"Kai?" He looked completely different from the guy she met on the airplane. Not only had his appearance changed, but also his vibe.
"Yeah, that's me. Well, that was my alias. My real name is Luka. Just in case you are wondering, I am not a human. I am a system that will tell you about your mission from now on," he extended his hand for her to hold.
"I don't understand anything," she said as she tried to hold his hand. He quickly grabbed her hand, pulled her closer to himself, and said, "You don't need to worry about anything. I'll guide you from now on. Just know one thing: your mission is to be friends with everyone and survive until the end of the game." After saying this, they both disappeared.
[WARNING!! WARNING!!]
she woke up and saw a big warning sign in front of her. "what's going on?" she mumbled.
[WARNING!! one of the male leads is approaching you please be prepared. Please be prepared]
The sign disappeared after warning her. Soon one of the well-dressed men entered her room. He looked handsome and angry for some reason and stared at her a moment "You-"
"You stupid girl. How dare you disobey me?"
He marched towards her and grabbed her hair with force. "Ouch," she screamed in pain which made the male lead angrier.
"So, you do feel pain huh?"
"What are you doing?" she asked.
" What I am doing? Young lady, you should be the one explaining what you did." he tapped her face gesturing to answer him, and when he didn't get any response; he looked at her with a confused expression.
'Did Serra lie to me? or is she acting innocent?' he thought. ' If it is a misunderstanding then it would have no good results. I should have confirmed before coming here.' He let go of her hair and prepared to leave.
"Now that you know what I would do if you don't obey me. I'll let it slide for this time and I hope this will be the last time too" he slammed the door and went his way.
"What's wrong with him?" she mumbles fixing her hair.
"I wonder why it took me so long to enter the game" Luka appeared while fixing his clothes. Seeing the only person she knew in this new world, she quickly ran, hugged him, and cried.
"My lady what happened?" he asked worriedly.
She explained everything thing to him while still hugging him.
"You said you would guide me and tell me everything but where were you, I couldn't even see you" She pushed him with little force and questioned him.
"I'm sorry my lady but now that I am here, I'll make sure to be by your side 24/7 and guide you in everything," he said feeling guilty. Even if he was there, he couldn't have done much. He is a system that couldn't even protect himself after all. He could only guide but couldn't protect.
"So, tell me what's going on? why did you pull me into the game without explanation or warning? and why me?"
Luka was about to explain the situation, but the warning sign came again before he could answer.
[WARNING ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️]
[Another male lead is on his way. Please be prepared. Please be prepared.]
"What is this all about?" she asked.
"No time to explain. You should lay on your bed and let's see what happens." he pushed her onto the bed and quickly disappeared but appeared again.
"You must not open your eyes," he said before disappearing again. As soon as he vanished, a tall guy entered the room carrying a handful of food. He placed the food on the table and then walked over to her. He began to gently caress her forehead, then stopped and continued to stare at her.
'What is he doing? Who is this guy? Why do I feel like he is still staring at me?' she thought.
"System101 checks the flavors of him towards her," Luka ordered.
[But That Against the Rule You Might Even Get Punish]
"It doesn't matter. Do it or something might happen to her".
[Ok Flavor Data Analyses Proceed]
"If he has little flavor, then I might have to do something to protect her. Why is he moving closer? I can't resist any longer, I need to take action," he began to walk toward them but was stopped by the sound of the system 101.
[The Flavor Point Is Point 95% Like 5% Dislike. For Further Information, It Would Cost Extra Punishment]
Luke paused. 'He likes her but how. I thought everyone hated her. Who is this guy?' he looked at the guy and his information poops up.
[Hayden Edwards
A childhood friend of the player who always helps her. He doesn't like talking much and is very intelligent, being one of the top researchers. He has had a secret crush on the player from a very early age, but due to his reserved personality, he doesn't want to confess his love out of fear of losing their friendship]
Hayden leans close to her.
'why is he moving close to her? Is he about to kiss her? why didn't I know about all these events?' Luke asked to system101
[Please be silent and pay attention to the ongoing events]
"If you keep pretending to be asleep, then I might as well kiss you," Hayden whispered gently.
Aurora awoke suddenly and sat up in bed.
"you knew??"
"Of course, I would be an idiot if I didn't know that you were pretending to sleep with your eyes twitching," he smirked. "Now, I bought you your breakfast, so be sure to eat. And what happened to your hair?" He began to reach out his hand to fix it, but she backed away instinctively. He paused for a moment and smiled. "I will be leaving then. Be sure to eat, okay?"
The moment he left her room she sighed in relief.
