When Jack first opened the menu, he saw many options but had ignored them at the time, hurrying to learn his two minors. Now with some time on his hands, he explored the different functionalities of the game.
“Greetings, esteemed fellow weaver. What a joy it is to have you in my humble shop!” Instead of the harsh tone the tailor had used to send off the female player earlier, Keith addressed Roth with the utmost politeness and respect.
It’s your first time meeting Keith. Charisma b...

Oh my, a whole city?” She seemed impressed by Roth's client portfolio. Judging from her smile, she didn't regret giving all the information she had volunteered ...
2024-03-05 17:50:20 +0000 UTC View PostRoth instantly recognized the knowing asymmetrical smile, the tanned skin, and the freckles. Even though her clothes differed from the explorer’s attire he’d seen in the portraits, this was unmistakably the same person.
Ruth wore a golden shawl and long golden earrings. Her skirt was lo...
2024-03-05 17:49:41 +0000 UTC View PostEven though there was a large crowd, Roth could get a good view of what was happening thanks to his height. The line of people turned out to be a small part of a large audience sitting in an amphitheater carved into the mountain. Stair-like benches descended on a central stage where a man in fine...

Jack bit his lip. “I went as fast as I could. Here. What do I do with it?”

“No problem! I have to go back to digging. The burrowthon is approaching, and I want to win it this time.”

“Internet access,” Jack called.
The world of New Earth and the sight of Kevin’s old shack grayed out, and a floating window with an internet browser appeared in front of him. All VRX helmets came with a standard op...
“Nice to meet you. Cough! Cough! Is it always this dusty here?” Jack asked as he covered his mouth with the sleeve of his shirt.
“Well, we make a lot of sawdust as we work.
