'Welcome back Celeste'
Nang maiteleport si Celeste sa bayan ng Fantasia ay agad na din siyang pumunta sa second floor.
Celeste looked around. Medyo marami rami na ding players ang nakapasok dito.
Habang naglalakad ay nakita ni Celeste si Cornelia kasama si Jared. Napalingon si Cornelia sa kanyang direksyon.
Celeste looked at Jared. It's his last day in Korea. Nailibing na din ang kanyang lolo Renee kahapon kaya marahil ay nagkaroon na ito ng time para maglaro.
"Ath--Celeste!" Kumaway si Cornelia kay Celeste dahilan para mapalingon sa kanya ang apat pa niyang kasama, including Jared. Nakatungtong na pala sila sa second floor.
Celeste sighed. Muntikan na kasing mabanggit ni Cornelia ang tunay niyang pangalan.
Tumakbo si Cornelia palapit kay Celeste at hinila siya papunta sa apat pa nitong kasama. Celeste suddenly felt shy.
She hates attention, she really hates it.
"Guys meet Celeste!" Excited na pakilala sa kanya ni Cornelia.
They all gave Celeste a smile. Bukod kay Jared ay nandito din si Viper, yung ka duo dati ni Jared sa second event. Ang dalawa pa ay hindi pamilyar kay Celeste.
"Of course, we know her. Sinong hindi makakakilala sa nagiisang babae na kasama sa grupo nina Emperor." Wika ng isang lalaki na katabi ni Jared. He's an Assassin base sa maliliit na kutsilyo sa bewang nito. "I am Razor" pakilala nito.
Inilahad nito ang kamay na syang tinanggap ni Celeste at ngumiti.
"It's a pleasure for us to meet you Celeste. I am Arachnid." He's a swordsman. Inilahad din nito ang kamay na tinanggap din ni Celeste.
"Of course, you know me already. I am Viper. I still can't believe that I was able to face you and Emperor in the last event. D*mn, nilampaso nyo kami"
Napatingin si Celeste kay Viper. He's a good sport. Anyway, this is just a game. She just can't understand why there are some gamers who are so engrossed with the game like their life depends on it, to think na nang tatrashtalk sila kahit sa kateam nila when they are already losing. Games like this should teach kids about being a good sport and building trust on their teammates, not blaming each other for losing.
"That was pure luck. Nabuhat lang ako ni Emp" sagot naman ni Celeste.
"Nah, you are really great back then. I am JaredTheGreat. You can call me Jared" inilahad nito ang kamay na syang tinanggap ni Celeste. Pinigilan niyang matawa ng marinig ang code name ng best friend niya.
Cornelia also suppressed her laughter and Jared glared at her.
"I didn't you are friends with Celeste, Cornelia. Sayang, sana naging kateam ka namin sa event." Anang ni Viper. He really admired Celeste. To think that her level is lower than them, still, she can fight them head on.
"I tried to invite her, Viper but Bloody Hell already got her. She's an asset to their group. So I don't think they will let us have her" kibit balikat na tugon ni Cornelia.
Celeste thought that she's not that strong compared to those top four players. She was just lucky enough to gain rare items, skills and weapons.
"Do you have a guild already?" Tanong ni Arachnid. He looked at Celeste.
Celeste shook her head, "I haven't decided yet. Maybe some other time."
"I am inviting her to join our guild. Let her decide what she wants" singit ni Cornelia.
