Siva (Volume 2) The First Departure

Chapter 10: Something Beyond Normal

Chapter 10

Something Beyond Normal

“Stupid…” Laughed the Mage. “It took you so long just to realize that? Pft…you’re underestimating us.”

The archer, again, released his arrows and the four arrows that came from a single one bounced off on her Dark Shield. But then, as she thought that the fire balls were coming next, what came next was the shadow of the Manna Blader who came with a slash from above.

Her reactions were too late as all she could do was to raise her hand to form the shield. She met the attack and as usual, she was pushed down with the player’s incredible force.

What’s up with this attack?! It’s abnormally strong!

A kick on her head woke her up from a moment of distraction and she was hit pretty hard for she fell back around 15meters.

When she landed, she was already on her back and as she raised her head, she was surprised that the Mage was the one who kicked her instead. But he was already in the middle of his casting and the fire balls were already complete when she saw it.

It flew straight at her and all she could do was to be a target with a Dark Shield.

Or so she thought.

Because right at the most terrible of all the bad timing it might happen, her manna was now 0, which is bad, but Ceres’s Tech Ability is also fire attributed so in short even if she activated the ability, it’s still going to be useless since both abilities are Tier-1 category.

She watched as the fireballs slowly approached her face. The light of the ball reflected in her eyes, saying that this direct hit will end her career. In so in her mind, the last dying thoughts she had in this world, the regrets of not having the last mouth full of the in-game super delicacy, Diamond Moss Pudding, the thought of her last adventure, the last time she had seen a friend, the last time she had been on her in-game house —it all came to her, flashing, shining like a vivid memory.

She don’t even know if she’ll get to buy the console and start again since she really had no plans for it.

Like most players, she entered this world to escape the chains of responsibility and loneliness in the real world, full of pretense and everyone only worked and almost forgot how to be free.

Lately, her best friend have been sad, broken even, because as soon as she met her first love, the guy just then vanished with no traces as to what had happened to him. They don’t even know if he’s alive or not. With this, her best friend had stopped working, shut her self up in her room and only cried or stare outside the window, wishing that one day he’d show up again.

It saddened her friend so much since they only had small time to be with each other. She hasn’t even told him about her feelings.

Though she had been successful on inviting her to go online in Terroa, when she’s inside, she’d only stare at the lake outside her starting city and spend the whole day doing just that. It even came to a point that she had been thought as a quest NPC since she’s really pretty.

The thought that she can’t do anything for her friend had caused her sadness too. She hasn’t even brought her to the best sight seeing places she had discovered in all of her time in Terroa. 

But to die now, have her character deleted, all her hardship, all of her sweat on developing FlowerLord, all of her effort on trying to make this avatar the coolest girly character ever, all her plans on pulling the pretty avatar, Scion, to enter Terroa too…
