Weed and his party members managed to safely gather the Skeleton Knight bones from the first floor of Memphis Hall and complete their quest.
However, there was bad news as well.Apparently, Pale, Romuna and Irene were real life friends who lived in the same neighborhood. In fact, Surka was Romuna’s younger sister. They had not mentioned anything so as not to make Weed feel awkward.But now, they had to reveal the truth.
“Sorry… our parents…”
“It seems we won’t be able to get online for a while.”
They had already become addicted to Royal Road and played continuously to the point of even skipping school but their parents, who had been on vacation, soon found out. Obviously, they were all grounded.
“You guys… are playing games instead of doing homework?”
“GO TO SCHOOL RIGHT NOW!”
The log-in licenses to the expensive capsules were thus confiscated, and their requests for extended leave from school were cancelled. But luckily they had learnt their lesson from watching Weed that success depended on the ability to find profit even in an unfavorable situation! They simply made their parents log onto Royal Road asking them to just experience it for themselves.
A new player could go outside the castle in four weeks. Their parents, however, were completely satisfied with staying confined. After all, it was a perfect rendition of a fantasy world.
The parents had grown up playing games and reading fantasy novels. But when they got jobs and started raising children, they were no longer able to do these things. This here, however, was a whole new universe. The paradise they’ve been dreaming of.
This game is like a whole new world where they can escape from their work and business without going to faraway country.
“Games are not all that bad.”
“It’s certainly fun.”
“By the way, Jungee’s mom, I heard you got a ‘quest’ at the Weapons Shop?”
“Yes, it’s really more of a chore. I have to buy five Whetstones for the shop…”
“Do you have enough money?”
“Yep. I got 3 silvers to buy them. Whetstones are 50 coppers, so I’ll be left with 50 coppers to spare.”
“Share with us!”
The parents started at Serabourg Castle all together. They wandered around together, doing quests and befriending the NPCs.
Like that, four in-game weeks went by but in the real world only a week had passed. Now the parents were free to go in and out of the castle. When Pale and Surka had told them they could now leave the castle their parents just laughed.
“Come on… how can we hunt monsters?”
“Hunting is for you youngsters.”
“We like staying in the castle and helping people, doing chores for money, which we can then use to buy good food.”
But upon leaving the castle out of curiosity, the parents’ attitudes changed dramatically. The following was the conversation that transpired between Romuna and her parents.
