Parallel - A Virtual Reality.

V2. Chapter 5. First Death, Unforgiving Time. (Part 2)

During my way I saw a University that is close to my house, I might enter that one next year...

And maybe the other two will too, we don't really care which place we go, after all, we seem to 'excel'

That word always brought me sadness after what happened...

If I could, I would rewind time and stop that from happening. After all, who can watch their friend breaking apart as if nothing is happening?

It took time and there was a bit of aftershocks since he 'recovered'...

Isa was crying while seeing our friend on the ground, we wanted to catch him, we wanted to stop him for him to see us, but we couldn't even do that much...

We should have noticed sooner how far away he was from us already, but we didn't...

We, his 'family', didn't notice...

I was pissed, I was angry, but beyond that, I was sad and depressed. So much that one day everything went red. I started punching him, yelling, inflicting him bodily pain, but something different happened—he retaliated

He started pushing me back, and he could see me, even if for a moment, that my tears were mixing with our spilt blood. It might have been stupid, but he cried too

It wasn't as if our fistfight could change anything, I doubt anything could have brought him back, but he noticed.

He noticed our feelings, our anxiousness, and sadness, and he answered us. He stood by himself, but it is obvious even now that he still hasn't recovered.

It might affect him forever, but he changed that endless time that could happen to us before it even happened.

He is our friend and our family

And thus, he protected us as we wanted to protect him. And now, the 24 hours restriction ended, and I put that capsule on and a single message appears before me

Do you want to log into Parallel world?

Yes No

"Yes"

Our adventure has started again, like old times, but this time we will grow together. We will not leave anyone behind.

This time for sure I won't let anyone, or anything harm them.

They are my friends, they are my family—and thus, we will protect each other.

I logged into Parallel and I see Zenith and Peko along with Vladi waiting for us

"So, you did it" Says Zenith to me with a light smile

"What 'you did it' you rascal, we could have defeated him without you resorting to that move!" I tell him off, a bit angry and relieved after seeing him.

"Sorry" Says Zenith with an apologetic look.

"At least you two seem to be fine" I say while sighing and look towards Peko "Are you okay, Peko?"

"Yes, I am~ Thanks to you guys" She says with a bit of reminiscing in her eyes.

"The others should be coming anytime soon. Anyways, how is it outside the room?" I ask

"Full of golems, there seems to be more than when we came inside" Answers Peko with Vladi nodding along.

"Thought so, after all, Mader was absorbing power from this place; the golems must be stronger too..." I thought while remembering how these golems were a pain and then I remember what I got from ending the quest.
