Living monotonous in a Novel Universe

Chapter 25

Everybody runs towards Lena with a terrified face.

"Are you ok!?" All of them said in unison.

"Of course? What's wrong with everyone?" Lena said as she scratches her cheek.

Matia scans Lena's body from front to back by touching. Lena who is confused just let it be because of Momo's serious face looking at her with concern.

After that, all of them decided to escort Lena to her home. Lena declines since it looks like they have other things to do but is met with fierce eyes.

*I believe one or two of them is enough, but looking at them, I think I might get scolded instead if I said it out loud* Lena thought as she limps.

Ryuji suggested carrying Lena in his back which everyone agreed. Lena is carried in Ryuji's back while her bags and cake are carried by Ares, Bloo, and Gren.

As Lena arrives at her house.

She is met with the tearful face of her three younger siblings met. Lena is put to the ground by Ryuji so that they can talk to each other comfortably.

Lena is scolded by the twins while Alvis kept hugging her legs. She hugs all of them to calm her cute little siblings.

Suddenly, a ring resounded from Momo's phone.

"Hello? Oh, Lena, someone wants to talk to you" Sister Momo said with an awkward face.

Momo informed Lena that she has contacted the authorities because of her items that has been scattered in the train tracks, thinking someone might have been forced to drag and kidnap her.

Making her family aware of the situation.

Not only her siblings scolded her, but also her parents together with her other four siblings that are not in the house at the moment, Lena's boss in her part-time which is Aunt Aria, together with her husband, Uncle Kurt, and Uncle Clauford using a group video call.

"Ok, I'm sorry. I'll bring someone when I go out at night next time" When Lena said that on the video call, they became calm but said that she needs to rest for a day which everyone agreed.

"But it's just a sprain..." Lena said.

"No buts!" Everyone in the room and video call said.

Seeing the time is already at midnight, Ryuji and the others that escorted Lena home started to go while keep reminding Lena to rest and not to go to school tomorrow.

Uncle Clauford, Uncle Kurt, and Aunt Aria said goodbye on the video call, except Lena's mom.

Lena waves goodbye to them at the gate while her siblings are following behind her.

*It's so boring here alone tomorrow since my little siblings are at school. Oh, that's right! The VRMMO (short for Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online)! I wonder if Mom will agree? *

Lena asks about it and her family was just happy to see Lena wanting to try and buy the game capsule.

"Huhuhu, my baby is starting to act like her age~ Of course, I'll send it immediately to you~" Lena's mom said with a smile while wiping her teary eyes.

Wow, I never thought that she would agree immediately seeing that it's expensive. Well, as long Mom agrees, I'll happily accept it.

The video call ends, and my siblings also started to go to their room, but after I have ready myself to bed. Lena washes and dresses herself to sleeping wear.

"Big sis, don't worry for tomorrow, Artemis and I will do the cooking, feeding the pets, and sending Alvis tomorrow to the nursery." Apollo said after dressing my small wounds.

"That's right!" Artemis said while brushing Lena's hair.

"Me too will try my best!" Alvis added while trying to help his siblings by arranging the first aid kit.

"Aww~ You guys are so lovable <3" Lena said as she hugs her siblings which they hug back, making all of them lay on Lena's bed.

Because of that, everyone decides to sleep with Lena on the bed, since it's big enough to fit everyone.

Just like the promise of the twins, they cook for breakfast, feed the pets, and send Alvis to the nursery.

Lena kisses them on their cheeks as a goodbye and waits for the gaming capsule that was supposed to be delivered.

After they have left, a delivery truck arrived. From the looks of it, it should be the gaming capsule.

Just as she guessed, it is the item she is waiting for. The capsule is put in Lena's room. Lena signed the papers of the delivery man as a confirmation that the item has been delivered. Each of them said thank you and goes on their way.

*But still, to think that it's this fast to be delivered after ordering in one freaking day! Seems like my family is quite wealthy* Lena thought to herself.

"Hmm, I'll chat in our group chat first" Lena has been added to the group chat of Eraine, Von, and Xash.

"Hi Eraine, I have bought the game capsule!" Lena chatted.

"Oh! Lena, that's great! Wait, why are you not in school? And how did it get delivered after a day!?? Mine was delivered after a week!" Eraine asked with a surprised emoji.

"Well, an accident happened and I'm resting right now. The capsule was ordered by my parents and hope that it will at least help with my boredom today hehe"

"Wow~ That's a great delivery service right there. Are you ok, did you got seriously hurt in the accident?" Von joined the chat.

"If it's an accident, is it serious?" Xash chatted at the same time as Von.

"What!?? Are you ok?" Eraine chatted with a worried emoji.

"Yup, it was just a sprain, but my family forced me to take an absence from class"

"Ohh, good to hear that it's not serious!" Eraine chatted with a big smile emoji.

"I am planning to play the game without you guys, if it's, ok?"

"Ohh!! Sure! It's great to explore first on your own" Eraine chatted.

"Yup, it will help you to be familiar with the game too" Xash added.

"Maybe tonight, we can party and help you level up fast if you're not busy." Von chatted.

"Oh, the teacher is here. We gotta go, Lena. See ya later!" Eraine chatted with a goodbye emoji.

"I hope you have fun Lena, if you're having a hard time, you can look on the Metube or other online social platforms. There's a lot of tutorials there." Xash added.

"Make sure to take a rest, gotta go." Von chatted with a goodbye emoji, same with Eraine.

Lena looked at the phone then the gaming capsule. It has a chair where she can sit and headgear on it.

One person is enough to fit on it and it's also chargeable. After a couple of minutes of reading the manual, Lena decided to try it out.

"Oh my, this is the first time I'm going to play a VRRMO. I'm so excited." Lena said while smiling to herself.

This is a dream for every gamer~ To use your five senses in a game and explore beautiful sceneries, oh how exciting!

The game "Tales of Odes Online" is already downloaded into the capsule.

Lena goes inside the capsule and sits. She wears the headgear and pushes the power button on it.

Well, here it goes!
