Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Oya just appeared inside her novice village, Oinga village. She just left Ibro, but her heart was still lingering around him and his memory. Oya glanced at the square she appeared at, the situation now was very different than the last time she was here. The empty novice village was now full of novice players.

"Finally you became more like any other game I played."

Oya muttered to herself very softly while she started to move. Her destination was the outer region of the leveling map of this village. she took out her staff, as from now on she wasn't alone here. 

Her past vast experience at games made her quite cautious with everyone other than her team. She just passed out the gates of the village, to find many smaller groups of players trying to form teams of 5 or even 10. 

She just glanced at this scene and kept moving on while shaking her head, this strategy was good when dealing with dungeons at cities, but now they were still in the novice village. 

There was no dungeon here, and making teams with others would affect your leveling speed, so she continued to move on solo towards the horizon.

Unlike Ibro, Oya distributed her AP on Intelligence and Vitality only, fifty-fifty, that was how she did it. She had four skills so far, three she got from the start of the game, and one she obtained by chance after killing an elite monster. 

Although her skills weren't that strong, they complemented each other to be able to kill a higher level monster in less than one minute. Oya moved till she reached level 10 monsters zone, where she was met by tigers. 

Just as she was about to attack a group of them, she noticed the presence of some players trying to level up here.

'It's really refreshing having more players around, the noise and strange things never ceased to exist.'

Oya watched this group of ten players as they took their suicidal steps towards the tigers. The battle didn't last long as it ended just as she expected. She sighed as she started to look at the tigers in front of her. 

She moved slowly towards the tigers, and just when she was near them, she started to use his essential skill:

"Black Swarm skill."

Just as she entered the aggro range of the tigers, they fell under the effect of her skill. a 5 second skill effect with 3 seconds cooldown, it was the perfect skill for her. This wasn't the initial duration or cooldown of her skill at first, but this was due to the effect of the skill she got by luck.

"MANA Transformation skill."

This skill enabled the player's last skill to last double and cooldown effects lowered by half. This effect lasted for one whole hour. So, during this hour, Oya was literally abusing these tigers. 

System prompts kept ringing in her ears like a symphony, but she knew very well how large the XP amount she needed to level up to reach level 10. Although she joked with Ibro about trying to imitate his leveling strategy, she wasn't that insane to try that here. 

She had no time to waste waiting for players here to reach level 5 at the least to trigger the event. She kept leveling up in this map for three days, during which she killed a substantial number of tigers alone. 

Some crazy players who came to try their luck here or were curious about the game came here to notice her presence. At first she was mocked by being so suicidal, but when the first tiger fell under her staff they all were shut up. 

When she killed the tenth tiger, they began to praise her, and when she raised one more level here, she became an icon. Very few players started Rioneed, and most of them were about to go to cities, so finding one expert here had attracted the attention of the whole Heptian domain. 

Live videos were broadcasted her fighting with tigers till she got to another level. by the end of the third day, she managed to gain the third needed level and finally reached level ten. 

That was when she stopped her fighting with monsters and headed straight towards the village. She long ago noticed the presence of these players, but she knew she could do nothing about them. 

Players were free to go and do whatever they wanted in any game, she used to be watched when she played at many games before, so she wasn't concerned by them. what she was thinking about while going to the village was Ibro. 

She tried to call him a couple of times in the past three days without any result. Ibro never replied to her calls. While she was moving back to the village, she opened her friends list to find the icon of Ibro showing that he wasn't in the game.

'Did you go back to rest a bit? I will log off after going to Ihnasia then.'

She was feeling quite insecure without his presence around her. This was the first time ever she felt something like that with anyone, which was somehow a scary situation for her, but she felt great comfort while she was with him. 

Her thoughts were cut abruptly when she reached the village governor. She didn't know why, just when she saw this governor she recalled that incident that happened with Ibro when he lost his village with its governor. She held her laugh hardly while saying to the governor:

"Mr. Governor, I have reached level 10."

The middle aged NPC looked towards her then he smiled as he said:

"Indeed you are, come and take this scroll, it's your pass to Ihnasia city, congratulations child."

"Thanks, Mr. Governor."

Oya took the return scroll to Ihnasia from the governor, tore it and then disappeared from the village. She appeared at Ihnasia city, where she just glanced around to feel content with the grandness of this city, but she wasn't able to see Ibro anywhere.

'It seems I have to go again to Shonty city.'

She then took out a return scroll from her Inventory and tore it apart. She disappeared from here and appeared at Shonty city. she didn't wait for a moment as she immediately chose to log out. 

Although the people here didn't look at her like before with hostility, first impressions always lasted forever. Once she got off the cabin, she looked around her in the movable aircar to find no sign of Ibro at all. She listened for a moment.

'The car is still moving, so he is here. can he be at the cabin upfront?'contemporary romance

She moved with doubt towards the front cabin of the aircar, but the place there was empty. When she returned back, she found no sign of him at any place whatsoever. 

She was about to go back to the game and check his status again to be sure, when something attracted her attention. she neared the game cabin of Ibro closely until she managed to see the person inside it, there was no person at all!

'What does this even mean?'

Oya tried to open the cabin, but she couldn't. For some reason, the cabin didn't open. She tried to open it by force, but she couldn't. That was weird, but she moved to the front again as she revised the movable schedule of the aircar. 

When she read the travel log again, the aircar didn't stop after Ibro and Oya got on it. Oya looked in daze and confusion towards the long big aircar while muttering in fear:

"Where have you gone, Ibro?"
