Living monotonous in a Novel Universe

Chapter 31

Lena and Jax explore the 'Tree of Haven'. It was wide and big inside.

Unique designs surround them. The 'Tree of Haven' has its own consciousness and uses the glowing vines to guide the two.

It shows the way to the underground where the kitchen, library, bedrooms, hot spring, swimming pool, and a garden full of different herbs, plants, and flowers were located.

Both were excited as they tour around. Lena realizes that it is already lunchtime as her stomach grumbles. Jax's stomach also grumbles back.

Lena wants to try cooking in the game world since they can taste in the game, but she's really hungry and wants to eat real-world food.

Both Jax and Lena say goodbye to each other and to the 'Tree of Haven'. The log-out sign appears in front of Lena's gear and blackness is the only remaining light on the headgear.

"Haaahh~~ That was so much fun. Maybe I'll order some fast food. It's been a while since I have eaten it" Lena said as she removes her headgear.

The moment that she removes her headgear, a terrifying smiling razor-sharp teeth with one black eye looks at her.

"WAAAAHHHHHH!" Lena shouted.

"WAAAAAAHHHHH!" Neoteros shouted.

Both shouted in shock. The terrifying face passed through the glass of the capsule making Lena shout because of the sudden nightmare appearing in front her face.

Lena looks at the being once again and realizes it was Neoteros with the two female siblings that Lena saved behind the terrifying being.

"Neoteros! Don't scare me like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!" Lena said as she calms her heart.

"??? Sorry..." Neoteros looks confused but still says sorry.

"It's because you suddenly pop-out Big brother Neoteros, you have a very terrifying face." Eighth said with a straight face.

Neoteros was shocked and sulked in a corner.

"Eighth, don't be mean." Seventh said as she looks at Eighth.

"But it's true" Eighth said without remorse.

The smiling face of Neoteros was replaced with a frown as it looks back and sulk again, mushrooms literally started to pop out within where Neoteros is.

"Ok, ok, let's stop. Why don't we eat some cake that has been leftover yesterday?" Lena said which made all of them nod in delight.

Lena ordered some food for everyone to eat. As Lena goes to the dining area, Kena, our big black dog, and Seri, our white pet cat, look at my back without blinking.

Both were sitting in silence at the kitchen table. Behind me is Neoteros with a big smile as if flaunting its razor-sharp teeth. Kena started growling in an angry face while Seri is hissing.

Looking at Neoteros, I guess both pets were alarmed by the unknown guest.

Lena goes near them, but the pets stay their eyes on the terrifying being.

"Kena, Seri, this is someone- uhhh, my friend. Yes, this is Neoteros, my friend, so don't scare my guests ok?"

The pets look unconvinced, so, Lena decided to touch Neoteros's head.

"Umm, Neoteros, can I touch your head? So that, I can show them you're not an enemy?" Lena asks nervously. What if this being got offended, oh my gosh, I'm only a mob, yet my life this year has been full of unexpected, Lena thought to herself.

"Ok!" Neoteros said in delight and lowers itself so Lena can pet it. As Lena pat its head, she realized that instead of liquid form, Neoteros body is now a flying fluff.
