After answering her question, she then added by asking.....
"Are you going to go on a bike trip tomorrow again?"
I hesitated to answer at first, but then i nodded, and told her.....
"I will probably be home same time, you don't mind that right?"
"No....you are already grown up, you can go anywhere you want. But, just tell me beforehand, okay?"
I nodded, and i went back to my room.
I opened up my phone, a notification popped up again, it was Amelia again.
'Why is she persistent on chatting with me?'
I thought to myself, although we went on a date before and shared lunch together. What i do not understad is.....why does she want to flood my notifications so badly?
I decided to respond to one of her messages, she asked me if i am free tomorrow....
"Why?"
"Nothing....how about we go on a date again tomorrow?"
"...."
I did not know how to respond to her request, i already have plans tomorrow, but i did not want to hurt her feelings.....i thought about how i can respind to her, without making complications....
"I am sorry, i have plans tomorrow...we could go on a another date on monday, if that is alright with you?"
"Oh....no it is okay with me. Can i ask you what kind of plans you have tomorrow? if you dont mind me asking"
"Just chilling inside my room"
"Really?"
"Yeah, why?"
She did not respond to my message.
I placed down my phone on the bed, i locked my room and i took out the two daggers i made. I was looking at all of the flaws Everard told me about, i grabbed my phone and looked up on how to fix all of the flaws it had.
I was trying to find a video, scrolling down the tube, until i found a channel about making different weapons. I was invested in all of his videos, i subscribed to his channel, so that i can be more knowledgable on forging a blade.
He uses manual labor, without using any fancy equipments. I carefully took mental notes, so i can improve my performance. I keeped watching his videos, i lost track of time. I did not know that it was almost midnight, i quickly closed down the tube app and looked if Amelia messaged me.
"Goodnight Clint, see you on monday"
I hearted her message, and said goodnight to her. I did that, so i could not hurt feelings. Because i did not want to deal with stress, especially drama with other people.
Turning off my phone, i placed it beside me and just wanted to sleep, i was excited to wake up tomorrow.
When i fell asleep, i felt that i was beside a fire. I opened my eyes, and i was in the middle of a burning landscape. Surrounded by fire, with no way to escape. It was hot all around, flames were spreading like wildfire. I was trying to figure out on why i was transported here.....
Then a vague memory popped up inside my head, i was trying to remember the vague memory. I felt that i was in a situation like this one, but i was not sure if it happened or not. In the midst of trying to remember a memory, that i am not sure happened. I felt the ground shake, and the flames diminished as the shaking became closer.
The flames were making a movement, as if they were being sucked in by something. I looked at the direction where the flames were being sucked in.
My eyes widened, my jaw dropped. I could not believe a giant corpse covered with flames is coming at my direction. Its guts were hanging, half of his face were gone, its brain and skull were visible, and its skin were melting because of the flames.
It was something out of a hell, the bottom pit of hell. When it got closer to me, it forcefully opened up its chest, exposing its internal organs. It was horrific, i did not want to look at it.
The flames began to surround the giant corpses heart, it reminded me of a boss from a game called "Souls". Realizing, i quickly run away from it. I was too late, it began to shoot a beam of fire onto me. It barely hit me, i did not evade its attack fully. My forearm was hit, cutting it off cleanly.
I screamed out of pain, trying to stop the blood.....it was strange, because the blood stopped flowing from the amputated wound. Looking behind me, it was already charging up a another attack.
"F*ck!!! Why is this happening?"
As i tried to run away, i looked up and knew it was hopeless trying to run away.
There were a thousand of spear flames covering up the red sky. Giving up, i accepted my fate and stood still waiting for my impending death.
The spear flames began to hail down, closing my eyes. I felt it penetrate inside my body, i was conscious as twenty other more spear flames began to penetrate my body.
I fainted due to the pain, seeing the red sky one last time.....
"Aughhhhh!!!"
I woke up from my sleep screaming, i felt my body. If it was still intact. I tried to remember what happened, but it was no use. My mind was blank, i did not know why i woke up, nor the reason i woke up screaming.
I felt the feeling of being skewered to death, my body was getting goosebumps and it did not stop. Trying to calm down my nerves, i got up from my bed and went to the kitchen to drink water....
"What the hell happened? Its like a memory of mine are being erased by something, everytime i tried to remember my dream, its all blank"
It was strange, when i went back to my room after drinking water. I looked at my stats....

MP:65/65
CURRENT EXP: 2
FOR NEXT LEVEL: 215

"When did i level up?"
I was surprised because of my stats increased vy s lot, even though i did not exercise. I noticed a exclamation mark popping up on the corner, i was curious, so i pressed it.....
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCK: DREAMER
STORE UNLOCKED
SLIGHT INCREASE ON SKILLS AFTER REACHING LEVEL 10
It looks like after reaching lvl 10, the system gifted me a slight skill increase and also made me unlick the store. What caught my attention, is the achievement i got called.....
"Dreamer? What does that i mean?"
I tried to get more information on the achievement that i got. I tried to click on the achievements, i scrolled down to read on what it says on the dreamer achievement....
"Thats strange....why does it not have anything written on it?"
It was strange, because the previous achievements that i got all have something written below it. I did not want to stress myself out trying to figure it out, instead i was curious about the store.
I closed down the achievements, and went to the store. There were a lot of stuff inside, apparently i only have 100 points.
"Points might be a form of currency, but how do i gain points?"
I pressed on the question mark that was on the upper right corner, it said that...
IN ORDER TO GAIN POINTS, YOU EITHER SELL SOMETHING THAT HAS VALUE, OR COMPLETE QUESTS.
"Quests? But completing quests only gives skill points and exp, how can i gain points by completing them?"
I looked over at the quests....
QUEST: BLEND INTO THE VILLAGE AND MAKE A CONNECTION TO AT LEAST 5 PEOPLE.
REWARD: 100 EXP AND 5 SKILL POINTS.
ADDITIONAL REWARD 50 POINTS.
"Wait.....it did not say additional 50 points when it was given to me"
Connecting the dots together, maybe the reason was because i still did not unlock the store.
"Well, yeah that makes sense"
I looked over at the store, there were a lot of stuff inside the store. Especially swords and armor, and also different stuff. I was looking inside the store for about 5 minutes, and there were a lot of things that i still can't buy. Because of my insufficient lvl, there were high quality stuff that needed a high lvl to buy.
"Well, that is convenient"
It also said i can sell things that have value....
"Does that mean i can sell stuff from my inventory?"
I quickly checked, and it was possible. Although a lot of it had low points, it was good to know that i can sell stuff from the original world too, and not only things inside this world.
I was getting sleepy, i closed the door of my room and looked at myself on the mirror. I noticed that i was gaining muscles, and my hair had gotten a lot longer.
"Maybe, i can get a haircut tomorrow?"
I went to my bed and laid on top, i kept looking at the hole above and kept staring at it, until i got sleepy.
