"Welcome to the city of Mecha" Celeste heard the greetings from the system. They looked around at hindi nila naiwasan ang mamangha. Everything was made up of machines.
This is like a glimpse of the future with advanced technology. There are even flying machines around and robots doing labor.
Celeste looked at her comrades, she noticed the amazement on their faces too, well, except Emp and Phantom.
"This floor is surely interesting" Thunder commented and they all nod their heads in unison.
"Maglibot libot tayo" bumaba si Bullet sa bangin at sumunod naman sina Celeste.
Halos puro NPCs ang nakikita nila at mangilan ngilan lamang ang nakakasalubong nilang players.
"Maghiwa hiwalay na lang muna tayo guys" biglang anunsyo ni Bullet and they all turned their gaze at him. Bullet felt like they needed to explore separately so that they could have more experience.
"Para malibot natin ng husto yung area habang wala pang masyadong players, we might encounter some opportunities" he continued.
Celeste thought about it. She preferred to tour the area alone so that she could do whatever she wanted.
In the end, they all agreed to go separate ways and bid goodbye to each other. Celeste decided to take the route on the East.
"Why are you following me?" Celeste stopped and looked behind her. They all agreed to take separate paths but Celeste noticed that Emp took the same path as her..
"Just walk," Emp said and gave her a deadly glare.
Celeste really can't read what's going on with Emp's mind. He's snob, cold, aloof and unapproachable. But sometimes he's doing something you didn’t expect him to do. Like now, he even chose to follow her.
In fact, Emp didn't know either why he followed Celeste. Maybe he's curious as to why Celeste is powerful despite her low level.
Celeste didn't argue anymore and just let him do what he wanted. She entered different stores one by one to look for some interesting items.
"P-pagkain, p-pakiusap pahinging pagkain" Celeste and Emp were walking aimlessly when they heard a weak voice.
Lumingon si Celeste sa isang eskinita at doon ay nakita niya ang isang matandang lalaki. Payat ito at madumi ang katawan. Ang damit na suot nito ay punit punit na.
Celeste knew that this was just a game, but she still felt pity. So she walked towards the old man. She looked at her inventory and gave him bread and water. Agad naman iyong tinanggap ng matanda at nagpasalamat.
Emp just looked at Celeste and did not bother to say anything. His interest with Celeste grew bigger and bigger.
Maglalakad na sana sila palayo nang biglang magsalita ang matandang lalaki.
"Isang taon na nang itayo ang bayang ito. Nawalan na ng silbi ang mga tao at pinalitan ng makinarya. Wala kaming nagawa. Madami na ang namatay sa gutom sa kadahilanang hindi sila makapagtrabaho. Simula ng dumating ang tinatawag nilang Lord of Mecha ay nawalan na kami ng karapatan na magbanat ng buto at kumita para sa aming pamilya. Pakiusap, tulungan ninyo kami"
Nagkatinginan silang dalawa at tila iisa lamang ang kanilang naisip sa mga oras na iyon.
'Isa itong quest' tanging naisip ni Celeste.
Nag pop up ang screen nilang dalawa.
'Would you like to take the quest?
Accept Decline'
