Chapter 2 - Part 2. Cosmicus Metana

"Hey, wait! Why are you leaving?" the woman asked as she stepped quickly to match Andalas' pace.

 

"I want to go home," replied Andalas, who continued to walk without caring about the woman who was walking beside him.

 

"You can't go home," said the woman, making Andalas' steps stop. He looked at the woman with an annoyed look.

 

"Why can't I go home? I have a home, so I can go home," replied Andalas, who looked at the woman annoyed.

 

"You have to complete the mission if you want to go home. You can go home when your mission has reached the level where you own your home," said the woman, causing a frown on Andalas' forehead.

 

"Crazy, a crazy woman like you shouldn't need my help!" Andalas was angry, and he took another step.

 

The woman snapped her fingers and made their current positions move. Andalas blinked his eyes a few times to make sure he wasn't going the wrong way. He then turned to the woman. "Does this still make you unbelievable?" she asked with a smile.

 

"Where is this?" asked Andalas without answering the woman's question.

 

The woman smiled, she knew Andalas was not a person who liked to talk.

 

"This is the world of Cosmicus Methane, a world where your wishes can be realized as long as you can complete the mission in this world. In the world of Cosmicus Methane, human life is more advanced than the world in your world. No human who lives in this cosmic world feels what you feel. Everyone has a complete family, any education we want will be fulfilled. If we want to go to your world, we can do it, and we can become whatever we want, including owning a big company, as long as in this Cosmic world, we also own that big company. If you want to have a big company, reach the big building that I showed you earlier. If you have reached that building, you will get everything there. It's not even just a company that you can get," the woman explained with a smile.

 

"How?" asked Andalas, who looked interested after getting an explanation from the woman.

 

"Of course you have to pass all the missions to reach the building. However, after arriving at the building, there are things that you will pass through and that you will find out later after you get there," answered the woman.

 

"How should I go about the mission, and where should I start?" he asked.

 

"What level do you want to get?" she asked.

 

"The building you showed me," Andalas answered without hesitation.

 

The woman smiled at Andalas' excited answer. "Don't regret your choice," said the woman, then snapped her fingers again. The woman disappeared, and Andalas' position had changed. In her hand were a map and a watch.

 

The map showed a place where the mission that Andalas had to complete was. It was written that the mission was only to cut wood, and Andalas felt that this mission was very easy. He followed where he had to go. The map is like a GPS where there is blue movement, it looks like the blue color is him. At first he was not sure if it was him, but he tried to walk in the other direction the blue color was moving. So he can conclude if the blue color on the map is him.

 

Without Andalas realizing there were many things he passed to get the mission increase number so he could immediately arrive at the place where he had to do the mission. On the map he held, the mission was not clearly indicated. On the map was only a road where he had to go. Whereas on the watch he wore, there was already listed what he had to do.

 

Along the way, Andalas had to collect wooden branches, which later had to be tied together. One bundle consists of 20 twigs. Where each bundle later he can use to get objects or powers to speed him up to the next mission.

 

Unfortunately, Andalas didn't pay attention to that, he was just too focused on the map. The woman who saw Andalas ignoring his missions just looked annoyed, and it felt like she wanted to approach Andalas. However, she couldn't do it, she could only meet Andalas when Andalas completed his mission.

 

"Ah, you are so stupid, Andalas. Don't you realize that there is a watch in your hand?" asked the woman, annoyed.

 

"Julia," called a woman standing next to Julia. Julia was the name of the woman who had given Andalas the mission.

 

"Why?" asked Julia, staring at her friend.

 

"Why did you choose that stupid guy? Hahaha, why didn't you choose a rich man or a handsome actor?" asked the woman whose name was Jessi.

 

"What's the problem? It's my own choice," snapped Julia, then she left there.

 

"Tsk! You chose a stupid man like him. Julia, Julia, how can he possibly get to the highest level to beat Mr. Altan and his son? He won't be able to get to the highest level, the lowest level is just that stupid," said Jessi, then she left there.

 

Andalas was still walking and focusing on the map. He felt he was exhausted and very thirsty. He chose to sit on a rock and look around him. "How can I get water? Throughout this journey, I didn't see any lakes or rivers at all," he said, exhaling through his mouth. It felt like if he inhaled and exhaled through his nose, he couldn't anymore. It was suffocating because he was so thirsty.

 

He looked at the watch he was wearing, a watch that showed water, it also showed a body shape that seemed to mean that his body lacked water intake. The screen on his watch now showed how he had to get water. That is by exchanging two bundles of firewood.

 

Andalas frowned, "Firewood? How do I get it? I haven't even gotten to my mission where I have to chop wood. Where should I get firewood? If I have to get there first and chop firewood, I might get dehydrated and pass out. Lucky me if I only faint, if I die from dehydration, how?" Andalas asked himself.

 

He then shifted his watch, and there was a mission to collect firewood, which turned out to be collecting tree branches. "Damn! I missed it, even though since I passed the road there were lots of tree branches," he grumbled, annoyed.
