Some time later, Adira saw Penavie entering the school, her avatar's clothes being slightly torn and some burns and damage on her body as well. "Hey Penavie, how'd it go?" Adira asked.

"Eh, not as well as I wanted it to go, and I didn't get the item unfortunately," Penavie said as she pulled out a healing crystal and used it on her avatar. The crystal instantly healed her avatar's body and soon all the injuries present disappeared. "Ah that's better, I love that I got that healing crystal," Penavie said as she examined her avatar's body.

"Yeah but you can only use it once a day, Pen, so are you sure you want to use it now?" Adira asked.

"Yes I'm sure, and besides that's not the only healing item I've got so it's cool," Penavie answered.

"Okay if you say so," Adira responded.

The two girls then started walking down the digital halls of the school. Random avatars of other online students all having conversations with their friends or changing the way their avatars looked. The school grounds did not allow the students avatars to have a form that wasn't human like. This was to make the school look a bit more realistic, but the avatars can still be customized in different ways, they just had to be a human form. So robots or giant dinosaurs, aliens or anything that's pretty much big is automatically changed into a more human-like form. Thankfully once an avatar was off school grounds their avatar instantly retook the form it had before. So this didn't make anyone upset over the school's interesting dress code for avatars.

Adira and Penavie soon arrived in their first class of the day, and took their seats. As they were waiting for the teacher to arrive Adira decided to look into her Noha Biography that she had constructed. The whole thing consisted of all existing knowledge of Noah and their life, their likes, dislikes, their favorite games, and much more. It even held some details about how Noha's brain worked, as they had Asperger's syndrome wich had them see the world in a different light allowing them to create the F.S.I.G, when they where alive. Though this never stopped them from being themselves and they often made others laugh in their own way, whether it be a funny prank or even a joke. Another thing Adira included in the Biography was that Noha was gender apathetic, allowing everyone to refer to them by the gender they saw them as. Adria didn't want to miss a single detail on Noha in even the tiniest little facts and hints on them.

She knew that anything could lead her to the emerald, the other gems, and the gold so she planted everything she could find on Noha in there. She already had a clue on what one of the lines in the puzzle that Noha had given in the video. The line "look for the emeralds in the soul's heart," was a reference to a video game Noha had loved in their teenage years.

It was a reference to the game, Dead Hearts Pass 4, in which the final boss was a ghost king named Aamon whose soul was green. In the game when you defeat Aamon you will get a green gem that allows you control of his ghost army there for making you the new ruler in his place.

He was found in a dead forest region sitting on a throne made of bones from his previous victims. Surrounding the throne were pedestals with green fire and gold coins along with other treasures. So Adira and other games knew that the emerald was most likely in the soul of Aamon from Dead Hearts Pass 4. Unfortunately no one has been able to find out where his throne was hidden, even in the remake of the game in the .F.S.I.G didn't have the emerald in it. Players went through the whole remake and when they completed it they just had gotten the same ending as the original. That had disappointed everyone as many gamers where certain it'd be their, only for the opposite to be true.

Then again Noha wouldn't have made things that easy, they liked it hard and challenging. To them, challenges are what made life exciting and interesting, which was just how they had loved life. Noha had a saying, "If life is to easy and simple, then I'd rather not have been born," Which was pretty straightforward with its meaning; so Adira knew that somewhere in the .F.S.I.G Noah had made a copy of Aamon's throne room with the emerald in his soul. However she didn't have a single clue on where it was and where to look in the server for it. Neither Adira, Penavie, or any other gamer had any ideas and it would seem like it'd be like that for a long time.
