Finishing up all of the potion-making and crafting he had conducted, there was still time left in the day. As he sat himself down on the stone bench present in the smithing room, he swiped his finger towards a specific line in his view: [Friend List]
Despite his egregious amount of time spent in the virtual world, there were hardly a high number of names that appeared on his screen. It wasn't something he peered at very often, though looking at it made him reminisce.
[Hiromi] [Level: 95] [Status: ONLINE] [Location: HIDDEN]
[Xavier] [Level: 96] [Status: ONLINE] [Location: HIDDEN]
[Jaw-Long] [Level: 95] [Status: ONLINE] [Location: HIDDEN]
When reading his old comrades' names in his [Friend List], he couldn't help but quietly smile to himself.
'Smart. They're paying attention to this worldwide event alright. Setting their whereabouts to private while keeping me on their friend list, in case I slip up. Wait…' Zero noticed.
