A(lie)ment Isekai (Part 1)(Finished)

Chapter 1: The Favor

She's insane!!!!

Her build was sheer incomprehensible. I would compare it to the top players if I wasn't one. However, being a top player in this game, I could only compare it to something akin to raid boss. Or maybe even the event bosses.

As we fought one another, he was one-for-oneing me when it came to my Lightning spell strikes; spell strikes being a prevalent aspect in my magus part of the build, with the lightning magic being the magic magic used. It isn't that it is particularly strong. However, its ability to ignore some amounts of armor is good. Even then, due to the amount of investment in using Lightning magic well, most people tend to not use it. As for her.....

Not only is she dealing the equivalent Lightning spell strikes at me, but she is even overpowering me in terms of speed, strength. The only thing I have on her is defense, and even then, the lightning magic's ability to shred defense makes my defense a bit useless. Even the lightning resistance, an ability that I obtained via Elementalist (Lightning), seemed to be completely pointless.

I continued to dodge and parry as much as I could, but it was almost pointless. Although she was a girl; she was a giant monster. Every attack she did was as if she was devouring my every movement. And afterwards, well, she defeated me.

I ended up grimacing, though, I should've expected that someone with that event weapon would end up being quite powerful.

"Well, you won. Ggwp." I ended up messaging.

"Yaaaa!!!" She ended up pulling out the happy emote. The nonchalance was irksome, though, it wasn't as if she could do anything else. What this game has in everything else, its social aspect is as simple as necessary. Basic emotes of general popular characters, as well as messaging were some of the only ways to communicate. I heard that they were considering creating a voice system so people can hear one another. But the beta version of that had only negative feedback.

"So, what is the favor?" I asked, snapping back to focus.

"You'll find out at night." She said, before tp'ing away.

"Strange girl." I murmured. I ended up trying to search her name, which was a mix of weird characters. I only thought she did it because it sounded cool. After I did search it up, I tried to friend her, only for there to be a glitch to occur, before it pretended that nothing happened in the first place; as if I didn't even press the friend button.

"Weird. Was she a hacker?" I mean, that would make the most sense. But I'm sure that wasn't the case. It is possible to multi-class and synergize a good number of classes with one another; I even had an in-game friend who tried his hand on the premise.  Unfortunately, it was too complicated, and he had to scrap that character. I could only consider what that girl ended up doing to be nothing short of being a genius. Unlike me.

I decided to take a break from the game to check on the rice, only to find it burned. I was surprised that I didn't realize it was fully cooked given that it was beeping to announce it was finished; much like a microwave oven.

Checking the cupboards to find that there was no more rice, I decided to open up a cup of ramen to microwave. I would go out on my day off from school to grab more food. But until, then-

Thank you for the food. I silently prayed with my hands clasped together, much like when you ring the bell for new year's. Mmmm! Spicy Picante-flavored Haru-Chan's ramen  for the win."

Although the PVP battle was over, the Deja-Vu still was enacted with me. I don't know why, but seeing her triggered it, and made me feel like this had to do with my nightmares that I have been having ever so often. Though I can't remember everyone who was in it, I do remember most of everything else.
