Dim Knights Online (Discontinued)

CH 25 Alive

I died... Didn't I? Heaven hurts... Why does my stomach hurt so much? I slowly opened my eyes and revealed a ceiling that I wasn't familiar of. I searched around my surroundings. I didn't die.

My HP was full and it seems I'm in some kind of hut like house. Bandages were wrapped around my stomach. I sat up but then quickly went back down on my back, since a sharp pain emerged throughout my body.

A crash of dishes were heard in the room. "Onee-chan!!! You're awake!!!", it was Izzy who ran up to the bed I was on, not caring about the broken dishware. Izzy gave me a hug and I gave one back to her. I broke the hug and then asked her, "Izzy? How am I still alive? I thought I was a goner..."

Izzy had on the water works as she spoke. "Fairies... They saved you... That's why you're here in Fairy Forest... Onee-chan... You were asleep for about seven days..." My eyes grew in shock, I was out for seven days?! That's a whole week!

Then I asked Izzy another question, "Izzy where are the others? And what were they doing when I was out?"

Izzy whimpered, "Mazi planned to head to Frostbite but we all needed to be level fourty or above... So, we were not allowed in there. Then they set off to Sylite but then stumbled across a dragon. It was impossible to beat! So, right now they are training in a nearby cave and forest..."

"Izzy, why aren't you training?", I asked yet another question.

Of course Izzy answered, "We take turns taking care of you. Two would stay behind and... Others would go train! Today it's me and Zai!"

"Hrm... Izzy... Wh-"

I got interrupted by Zai, "Izzy! Did you dropped the-! Whoa!! You did dropped them!! Why did you just left it here... Whoa!! Ruka!! You're up!! Finally!! Jeez!! How long did you even plan to sleep anyways?! It's been seven days!!"

"That's a nice way to greet your own sister after seven days...", I retorted.

"Yeah, yeah whatever!! I've been chased around by a crazy love sick princess these past days! So, that's all your fault!! You should apologize you know... I went through shit.", Zai argued. "What's sh-?", Izzy tried to asked but I covered her mouth from saying anything, Izzy was too innocent...

I sighed, "Zai just accept her love already. It's better than going back home... If we get back to the real world, you would be forever alone..."

"What?! No I won't!!", Zai denied.

I smirked, "Says the guy who has been single, for I don't know his entire life?"

"Shut up!! Just so you know before all this happened, I happend to have an online girl-!" Then a certain princess came waltzing in the room. "What's going on? I thought I heard a clash of broken dishes... Oh! Rukachi!!" Kumari suddenly pounced onto the bed and land straight on top of me. "I thought you left me forever!!" I place a hand on her head and she looked up to me. Her eyes were already red, swollen, and tears were still flowing from her eyes.

"Oh yeah! I'm going to announce to the others!", Izzy informed as she opened up the guild messenger. Then I too opened up the guild messenger and Zai then got attacked by a sobbing Kumari.

Izzy: "Guys!! Ruka onee-chan woke up!! （＾Ｏ＾）"

Ruka: "Hey guys. (^-^)"

Jean: "Senpai!! ！(◎_◎)"

Ricky: "Ruka! You alright?!"

Mazi: "You've been out for like seven days!"

Ruka: "I know Izzy informed me what you've been doing when I was out already. So, you guys are training to be at level forty or above am I right? (⌒-⌒; )"
