Athoi woke up and saw that Leon and Nabil were not there. She climbed down and saw Whfi drinking water. She touched the water and found it fresh, so she also started to drink.
When she finished, she looked at Whfi and noticed its eyes were blue. "Hey dragon, can you understand me?"
Whfi nodded and made a sound.
"I think he said yes. But how? How can he understand my language?" she wondered.
At that moment, Nabil and Leon returned with a Drog's body. Nabil landed, and Leon began pulling the Drog bodies they had hunted.
"Wow, you guys are good at hunting," said Athoi, impressed.
"It's not that hard. I just used my sword on their heads," said Nabil, showing his diamond sword.
"Is that an enchanted sword?" asked Athoi. After a moment, she added, "Where did you get that?"
"Oh, I found it in an elf village. They gave it to me to kill Whfi," replied Nabil.
"Which village? What did it look like?" asked Athoi.
"It was a village surrounded by a river. An energy area started after the river," Nabil explained.
"Did you see any protective walls around the village?" asked Athoi.
"No," said Nabil.
"Oh, okay," Athoi replied.
"Why?" Nabil asked.
"No reason," Athoi said, not revealing her thoughts.

In a cave -
Yamin stood holding a red sword, while a girl with pink hair and yellow eyes sat on the ground, looking scared.
"Yamin, please, don't kill me. I have dreams in real life. I don't have much in my inventory. Please, I beg you," the girl pleaded.
"If you were a boy, I wouldn't even listen to your begging, but you're a girl and my classmate, so I listened," Yamin said. "I don't want to kill you. I won't, if you agree to my deal."
"Yes, sure. I'll do anything," said the girl.
"You have to be my toy... my sex toy. You have to spread your legs and have sex with me whenever I want. If you refuse, you die. Agree, Jennifer? If you agree, you get three benefits:
1. You survive.
2. You have a way back to Earth because I created the game and know how to escape.
3. You have food and security.
And if you try to kill me, you'll regret it. I can read your mind, so be careful. Now, what's your answer?"
With hesitation, Jennifer said, "Yes, I'll do anything you want. Just don't kill me."
"Good girl, now prove it," said Yamin.
"How?" Jennifer asked.
"Don't act dumb," Yamin said, touching her breast and ripping her dress off. "Now, be my sex toy," he commanded, starting to undress and assault her.

Nabil and Athoi were mining inside a cave. Nabil held a ruby pickaxe and wore ruby armor, while Athoi held a diamond pickaxe and wore diamond armor. Leon stood nearby, his horn providing light for the cave.
"How old are you, Nabil?" Athoi asked.
"I'm 18," Nabil replied.
"Yeah, as I expected," Athoi said.
"Oh, what about you?" Nabil asked.
"I'm 20 now," Athoi said.
"You're a lot older than me. I should talk to you with respect, like call you Athoi sis," Nabil said.
Athoi laughed. "Does that matter? If you want to call me Athoi sis, it's up to you, but I'd prefer just Athoi."
"To be honest, you don't look 20. You look like a teenager," Nabil said.
"Japanese genetics," Athoi said with a smile.
"Wait, you mentioned you're Bangladeshi. Where did the Japanese thing come from?" Nabil asked.
"I have three nationalities: Bangladeshi, American, and Japanese. My mom was Japanese, my dad was Bangladeshi, and I was born in the USA. So, yeah, that's how I'm both Japanese, Bangladeshi, and American," Athoi explained.
"Yeah, I just noticed. You have a Japanese face shape, but it's mixed, so it looks different," Nabil said.
"What do you mean by different? Do I look weird?" Athoi asked.
"No, I didn't mean that. I mean you don't look purely Bangladeshi or Japanese. You look better," Nabil said.
"Thanks for the ironic compliment," Athoi said with a chuckle.
"Whoa! Look, I found a diamond!" Nabil exclaimed.
Athoi came over to look. "No, this isn't a diamond. It's copper."
"Oh... damn. I messed up," Nabil said.
"You won't find diamonds this way. On Earth, diamond mining is much harder. Here, it's easier but still requires going deeper underground," Athoi said.
"I know," Nabil replied.

Nabil and Athoi were standing in a stunning cave filled with trees.
A shaft of light from a hole at the mountain's top pierced through the darkness, illuminating the ground.
The sunlight reflected off a large, glass-like leaf, amplifying the light and heat, spreading it to the trees even 500 meters away. This unique leaf enabled the trees to perform photosynthesis.
A huge, clear pond lay at the center of the area, its water reflecting the vibrant green of the trees. The entire place resembled a beautiful garden with a serene pond in the middle.
"Wow, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my entire life," Athoi said in awe.
Leon, excited by the sight, jumped down and landed on a large leaf that easily supported his weight.
"The leaves are huge, each about 4 or 5 meters long," Nabil noted.
"Let's go down," said Athoi.
They carefully walked down the leaf and joined Leon by the pond. Leon was already lapping up the water and enjoying its taste.
Nabil scooped some water with his hand, sipped it, and said, "Wow, it's sweet. Sweet like candy."
"Really? Is it safe?" Athoi asked, concerned.
Reassured, she took some water in her hand, sipped it, and was amazed. "It's so tasty!"
Nabil filled an empty potion bottle with the water.
"What are you doing?" Athoi asked.
"My system says it purifies the belly and fixes internal diseases," Nabil replied.
"Really?" Athoi asked skeptically.
"That's what my system said," Nabil confirmed.
"Yeah, my system said a similar thing. We should take more. It could be helpful," Athoi suggested.
She took a bucket from her inventory, filled it with water, and stored it away.
"Athoi, I feel something's wrong. I sense we might run into trouble soon," Nabil said, uneasily.
"Why do you think that?" Athoi asked.
"It's because, whenever I see something good, bad things tend to follow," Nabil explained.
Just then, they heard a sound from behind. Nabil turned and saw Leon running towards a small cave. They followed and discovered a larger cave filled with diamond crystals.
Leon stepped inside, and Athoi quickly said, "Don't go inside!"
Leon stopped and looked back. Athoi reached him, observed the cave, and said, "I found all my diamonds in a similar cave earlier. When I entered, a dragon spawned, and I had to kill it. Its body and teeth had rubies, which is how I got all these items."
"So, if we go in, a dragon will spawn?" Nabil asked.
"Well, this cave isn't as big as the other one. The diamond cave was much larger, and there was a bubble outside that triggered the dragon spawn. There's no bubble here," Athoi explained.
"Wait," Nabil said, throwing a rock into the cave. Nothing happened.
"I think it's safe," Athoi concluded.
Leon stepped into the diamond cave, and still, nothing happened.
"Okay, let's mine," said Nabil. He started breaking the diamond crystals and storing them in a chest. Athoi did the same, and Leon helped by pulling diamonds with his teeth.
Two hours later -
"Great, we've cleared the cave. Now we have five chests of diamonds. But how will we carry them? We have to walk almost a kilometer up," Athoi said.
Nabil looked around and saw the cave with the pond had a hole above where the sunlight came through. "We can go through that hole. Leon can fly up in a few minutes."
"How will Leon carry all this weight?" Athoi asked.
"We'll do it in three trips. First, I'll go with two chests. Then, I'll come back, and you will go with two more chests. For the last chest, we'll repeat the process," Nabil explained.
"But it might still be heavy for Leon," Athoi worried.
Leon picked up a chest in his mouth and balanced two more on his horns, then flew up without waiting for their decision.
"Let me ask Leon," Nabil began, then noticed Leon and three chests were already gone. "Where is Leon?"
"Look up, he's taking the chests up," Athoi said.
"Told you he could handle it," Nabil said with a grin.
"I'm amazed at how he does things before you even ask," Athoi remarked.
"Maybe it's because of my ability," Nabil said, shrugging.
They picked up the last two chests and walked back to the pond. Athoi sat by the pond, looking at her reflection. "Nabil, do you want to know why I didn't want to team up with you in the beginning?" she asked.
