This is Life Part 2

The moment he saw a cute heart shape brand with the words “Aeyana”, he went to the doorknob and rotated it.

The door was opened! Behold is a relaxing and restorative smell similar to the rose hitting his nose made him want to breathe deeply and slowly. The room itself is filled with luxurious furniture which is heavily inspired by the color pink. There’s nothing surprising here, Aeyana likes pink so much that most of her gadgets, headset, keyboards, and mouse are all colored pink.

Though he hasn’t seen her room before in the real world by just a quick glance around the room, he can tell that her room is quite similar to the room she has in the real world.

The bedroom is quite big, bigger than his previous house. He walked carefully towards the bed which is quite presented beautifully.

“Sniff* Sniff* Squeeze* Squeeze* Matthew...you smwell...good.” She said and then went to drown her face in Matthew's tough breast.

Matthew just ignored the drunk Aeyana, he promptly placed her on the bed. He gently lifted her head and slid the pillow underneath, he grabbed the quilt all the way to her shoulder.

“Done…”

With a satisfied smile, he turned to his heels and prepared to return to the party.

“Matthew...I...love...you...nya…”

Aeyana said her last word and then fell asleep. Her saying that was not that special since she is acting like that to all of her teammates.

Matthew can only smile back genuinely as if pampering her childish little sister.

“The night is still young…” He muttered quietly, he exited the room and closed the door behind him, and promptly returned to the party.

…

The party has been going on for more like five hours. After their dinner, they went straight outside the Estate and began partying. A rough estimation of time gives them that it is already 2:00 AM in the morning.

But the dawn is still lively in the residence. Singing, dancing, swimming, playing, and all sorts of entertainment were done by them.

They were enjoying themselves to the fullest. The Shugos in night shifts is working arduously to meet the needs of their master. They had now made a huge mess on the swimming pool lounge. There are empty bottles everywhere, unfinished foods on the table, spilled beer, and so on.

But no one stopped them. All of them are jumping like there is no tomorrow, but a certain person didn’t join rather meet with one person who is not also involved in the craze.

“Captain, what is our plan tomorrow?”

A girl, in a swimsuit, revealing her perfectly curved body, said.

“Ann, before that. I want to apologize for raising my sword to you back then.”

“Apology accepted, so answer the question.”

Ethan could feel in her cold voice that she has not yet fully accepted his apology. Even though she was the one who struck first and Ethan only acted defensively.

“Well, we’re going to master our skills and adapt quickly. Who knows what lies beyond this world. Knowing that our skills can be used and basing it earlier. I can only deduce that our body is just reacting, not our mind.”

“You’re right, back then, I only thought of slashing you in half and then my body instantly moved itself. It felt like I lost a brief control over my body.”

“That is what I’m concerned about, if we don’t fully integrate into our new body, who knows what drawback it can cause.”

Ethan and Ann were now speaking casually to each other, forgetting their scuffle earlier at this moment. Ann emptied her cocktail that had been in her hand the whole time. Ethan gulped the bottled beer and gently placed it over the table.

He signals the bartender behind the counter by lifting his one finger. The bartender received his order and promptly opened the cooler box and fished the bottled beer that he is always ordering.

“Here you go sir,” The Shugo opened the lid, producing a ‘click’ sound. He gulped it in one go and let out a satisfied sigh.

“I’m heading to bed now, I don’t think I can last any longer,” Ethan said.

“Okay, be careful on your way there,” Ann replied.

Ethan simply raised his thumbs indicating that he’s been warned and left the lounge.

A reek of alcohol is swirling in the lounge, making him feel dizzy and want to sleep. He waved his hands at his fellow teammates who thought that the night was still young.

Thirty minutes later, one by one, they started preparing to leave, picking up the empty bottle that they just threw on the ground. At least, they wanted to help the Shugos who were cleaning it ever since they started drinking.

“The night was fun guys…” Jericho said.

“Yeah, I didn’t expect to have fun on our first day in this world. Though, I still can't accept it.” Jasper supported.

“We will have to practice our skills tomorrow, so I think stopping now is for the best,” Jon said.

“Goodnight boys and girls!”

And they promptly left the lounge and headed directly to their respective bedrooms.

Five hours later.

When the sky was turning white, Aeyana was already completely awake. Stretching her arms and feet; yawning while doing so.

She stood up, walked to the window, and raised the curtains. The blinding light of the sun suddenly entered the room, shining upon it. Aeyana covered her eyes with the back of her arm. The blue sky was completely illuminated that it could be seen that today would be a good day. But, Aeyana is having an indifferent reaction to the morning clouds.

“It was not a dream huh?” She muttered and looked in her slender arms. It was the same avatar that she was wearing yesterday.

She opened her menu and picked some clothing, she didn't want to wear the same outfit as before as it was not suitable for everyday use. Though, she will wear it when the battle comes.

She simply selected a casual pink shirt and a short skirt and a swirl of wind suddenly changes her swimsuit attire into her selected clothes.

After her clothes were settled, she walked to the dining hall and discovered that plates of pandesal, scrambled eggs, hotdogs, bacon, and pancakes were already laid out on the table.

Not everyone was awake, but she can tell who was already awake by looking at the person sitting at the table.

It was Ian, Manuel, and Jasper. The three of them are enjoying their breakfast. Their clothes changed as well to the casual ones.

“Good morning,” She said as she found her seat.

“Good morning, here have a taste of pandesal paired with scrambled eggs.” Manuel offered her plates containing the eggs and pandesal.

“Thank you…” She said as she picked one pandesal from the plate, It was still hot indicating that it was just baked just earlier. The softness of the bread and the sweet aroma of the egg made her stomach growl.

But something is not right...Why are they not suffering from a hangover? The boys surely drank a lot of alcohol but they looked so fine at all, including her.

Well, that was not the topic and no one wanted to open it anyway so she promptly sliced the pandesal in half and stuffed some scrambled eggs in between. She took a bite and the hotness of the bun tingled her tongue. But the softness of the bun and the soft texture of the egg was a perfect combination.

“Taste like home…” She admired the bread in her hands, it really made her memories from the real world where she always wakes up in the morning only to buy some pandesals and eggs. Her favorite duo.

“Tasty right?” Manuel suddenly asked.

“Yup, I think I can eat a lot. This is my favorite morning breakfast after all.”

“What a coincidence, I do also love pandesal paired with scrambled eggs.”

They both chuckled together at their preferences, whilst Ian was looking to the both of them as if he wanted to join the conversation.

“Ian, what is it?”

Aeyana noticed his face, Ian was surprised a little and then said:

“How was your first night in this world?”

“Hmm? Are you asking me?” Aeyana pointed to herself, it seems like she’s the only one being questioned here.

“Yes, I already know what the others think so I want to know your experience.”

Aeyana shrugged her shoulders and let out a soft sigh.

“I’m disappointed that this was not a dream.” She simply said.

The four of them sighed at her depressing words. It was not a dream that they were joking about since then. Aeyana could feel the solemn atmosphere that is shrouding the happy morning that was once trampling earlier. So, she immediately followed.

“Well, that’s not bad since we’re living like a billionaire here. I hope one day we could find out how to return to our world.” She said, trying to ease everyone’s feelings.

“That’s right, we just have to live in this world and hope that one day we can find our way back home. But for now, we will discover this world. That’s why I’m stuffing myself so I can test now my abilities.” Jasper said.

Testing? Yesterday they conducted a test to see if their skills can be used. Aeyana and Matthew displayed their powers in an open field and managed to flatten the earth with scorching heat and piercing a mountain with powerful arrow shots.

Their abilities are off the scale in this world. It was overwhelmingly powerful compared to the game as if the real effects of those skills are highlighted in this world.

“By the way, where’s everyone? Didn’t you all sleep at the same time? Sorry, I was the first one to pass out” She giggled softly, she looked around and only the four of them were awake this morning.

“Yeah, we slept at the same time, but I think they are still enjoying their first sleep in this world. So, we didn’t think of bothering them.” Manuel replied.

Aeyana gave an “I see” look. Ian stood up and tapped his hand in the air as though he was operating something. Indeed he was operating a menu.

A swirl of wind covered him and his casual clothing changed into his original appearance, a sheriff-like appearance. It was a cool-looking costume that is befitting a Gunslinger class.

In both of his hands appeared two blazing revolvers and hanging from his back is a sniper that can change into cannon.

Holstering his gun in its holster strapped in his waist. He turned back to everyone.

“I’m going out to test my skills.”

“Wait for us too. We are already finished anyway.” The three began devouring their breakfast quickly and prompted the menu to change their appearance.

The three of them now exude the presence of a knight, ready to fight. They looked just like that in the game.

“Are you joining us, Aeyana?”

A man sheathed in black armor, resting the shaft of his battle-axe on his shoulder said. Looking intimidatingly.

“I think I’ll enjoy my breakfast first and then test my other skills. Where will you practice by the way?”

“Anywhere that can do. Aeyana if possible, if they wake up, please tell them that we are practicing.” Manuel added.

“Huh?” Aeyana nodded her head implying that she will.

“Thank you...I will contact you when we find the perfect spot for practicing.”

“...Mmm…” She just nodded again.

Eh? Contact?

Aeyana looked at the trio again, doubtfully. What does he mean by contact?

“Aeyana? It’s simple, in the game we contact each other right? This is not a surprising discovery. I’ll demonstrate it to you now.” Jasper prompted again his menu.

A rhythmic chime ringed inside of her head. Staring blankly in front of her is a menu that was popped-up. It shows the caller ID of the person: Jasper.

She answered the call and then opened her mouth.

“Hello?”

“No need to open your mouth.”

“Eh?”

She yipped briefly, almost knocking out the glass on her table.

“You can talk to me through the mind. No need to open your mouth but it can also work that way. Look at me, I’m not opening my mouth at all. We just discovered it earlier while we were eating.”

He was right, he was not moving his lips at all.

“What’s the range?” She asked curiously.

“We don’t know but it’s one of our checklists to find out. Okay, I’m going to end the call now.”

Aeyana nodded, the call ended. The trio left the dining hall and went somewhere where they could practice their skills.
