BXBX NOVEL Chapter 151 Logging Off And A Mysterious Voice?
She had the intention of talking about whatever the "Rehashing" was, but she ended stopping right after starting due to having been "restricted", as if the whole world didn\'t wanted her to tell us about this. Is this some sort of story portion of this game\'s lore we are not supposed to learn about yet?
Hm, well, maybe, I guess.
"Uuooh?! I gained ten to all stats and new Skills and a Title! No way!" Titan said happily. "Special Quests are really the best!"
"Oh, I also got that…" Achlys said.
"Now, I wish you all good luck." Said the Queen.
"Thank you for everything, we are in our way. Acorn should be able to devise something in a few hours, so hang in there." I said while waving my hand.
After we left the room, Nieve seemed to have cheered up a bit. Perhaps she was happy to see the Queen, who all the Fairies revere so much.
Ding!
[Act III] of the Event Quest has been completed]
[Moving towards [Act IV]: [Find the Culprit Before It\'s Too Late]
[Now that you and your party have defeated the Giant Snake and made friends with the Fairies, all while gaining the Fairy Queen\'s Blessings, there is nothing else to do than find the culprit behind the Golem Sabotage and also the one behind the spreading of this destructive disease, which are one and the same. There are clues left behind everywhere within the Kingdom, ask people about what they had seen, gather the clues, and find the one behind this before it is too late! You only have 48 Hours before it is too late.]
Huh? Act IV now? And I only have two days to do this before it\'s too late, huh? So these Quests got something like a time limit. I guess it is a respectable amount of time, we can go sleep for now and then we can complete this tomorrow, as it is the first day of the weekend. It also seems that everybody in the Party got a similar notification but without the specifications.
I decided to quickly tell this to Achlys and Titan, while sending some Chat Messages to Acorn and the Mushroom Brigade. Apparently the Mushroom Brigade can access to some things of the System similar to Acorn, albeit slightly limited. Perhaps because they\'re not true NPC but also my Summons.
"I see, so that\'s how it is. We can\'t move on until we find the culprit, huh? Thankfully it has a 48 Hour Limit, that\'s pretty long. We can go to sleep now and we could log-in tomorrow after lunch, around 3 PM is fine for you guys?" Wondered Titan.
"Yeah, it\'s fine for me!" I said.
"Same, been a while since I played and this is getting a bit fun. Though I\'ve never been into games before, VR is really just a different experience than just playing normal games that always bored me. Getting involved into the world and all, it is more like living a movie." Said Rita (Achlys).
"Well yeah, I also felt that way." Said Titan with a laugh. Mark seemed very sleepy, so he swiftly logged after we chatted for five more minutes.
"Bye-bye!" Rita quickly logged out as well after giving showering my face with kisses.
As I was left alone standing around the castle, I walked towards a large window and looked into the night sky and the beautiful moonlight.
"I\'m going to sleep now, Great Spirit, are you going to be okay if I log-off?" I asked her.
"Hm? I am inside of your soul so no matter where you go I\'ll stay with you, don\'t worry about me." She said.
"Hahaha… This game really says weird things sometimes." I laughed.
"Game?" The Great Spirit asked again.
"Oh, nothing, nothing. Goodnight then!" I said.
"Goodnight." The Great Spirit answered gently, as I quickly logged off.
When I opened my eyes in the real world, I quickly took out the VR Helmet and went to the bathroom to wash my face a bit, and also do the deed. After that, I was feeling too tired, so I dropped over the bed half-dead and quickly dozed off.

"Hm, so this is the "other world", huh?"
.
.
.
"Pretty different from the other…"
.
.
.
"Oh, is that a black cat?"
.
.
.
"Hmm… The flow of Mana here is thin, but I can feel the connection…"
.
.
.
"But there\'s something wrong here… A distortion? No…"
.
.
.
"Huh, I better not bother her for now, this world seems vastly different, even her appearance changed. I never thought she was a mere human. I feel a bit disappointed."
.
.

When I woke up, I felt as if someone had been talking all the time inside my room at night. It was probably one of those dreams where we talk while sleeping…
Yeah, that must have been.
I quickly decided to walk back to the bathroom and wash my face again, quickly doing the deed and then taking a warm bath.
"Phew… Nothing beats a warm bath in the morning…" I sighed in relief.
"Oohh! So you can create warm water and light up a place without magic? How does this works?"
"Huh?"
Suddenly, I heard a very small voice, that of a woman.
It resonated somewhere. I looked everywhere paranoically but found nothing.
"W-Who\'s there…?"
Silence.
Ah, it must be my own imagination, maybe?
Perhaps I am getting a bit paranoid for playing too much VR games.
Yeah…
T-That must be it.
…The other possibility is that I am getting haunted.
Haha, no way.
R-Right…?
