Primordial Dimensions

"Can you see the beggar in front of us? Why does he look so dirty? Isn't it weird for someone at the MHV-train platform to look like this?"

Bothered by what the girl called Olivia said, Shane looked down at his clothes, and unfortunately he had to acknowledge that his clothes were rather rags than normal clothes as he stored his expensive robe within the spatial ring in order to not attract attention.

'Maybe it was the wrong way?' He thought, as he turned around in order to glare at Olivia, who was shocked to see a clean and handsome face behind the rags, causing her to step back, as she noticed his cold eyes piercing into her.

"Hot!" was the only thing she barely exclaimed, causing Aimy to look at her embarrassed, as she looked at Shane with curiosity.

'He is at our age, huh?' She asked herself and suddenly the rag around Shane vanished, leaving a black leather armor with small runes on it behind, while two red daggers were sheathed at his belt.

Tugging at Olivia who was still shocked, Aimy said "Now he doesn't look like a beggar anymore, huh?" with a smile on her face…

Even if she didn't care about someone's appearance, she had to acknowledge that the youth in front of her looked athletic and extremely handsome.

After the rags vanished, Shane took out the expensive black robe from his spatial storage in order to cover his armor and weapons.

Even if he was within a human city, he would never lower his guard or go anywhere without his weapons.

Storing them within his spatial ring was also possible, but there was still a small gap between taking them out of a storage ring and unsheathing them, which could make a difference between life and death.

If nobody saw his weapons, it was even better.

Initially, he didn't bother about changing his torn robe to his good one, he had for years, but it seemed like he attracted more attention by remaining lowkey, which was also not beneficial for him.

As such, Shane decided to change his robe.

Fortunately, the girls couldn't gossip anymore as the MHV-train arrived exactly on time and Shane entered it, with gleaming eyes inspecting everything with curiosity.

He never saw the interior of an MHV-train and Shane immediately felt slight mana fluctuations radiating from it, with the source at the front.

'Obviously, it is empowered by mana' He thought, as he searched for his designated seat.

Sitting down a minute later, he noticed that the girls were seated relative close to him, as he heard Olivia gossiping.

"Is he trying to fool us? Was this a roleplay or why did he change from rags to riches in a second?"

After that, Shane could only hear a light tap, as Aimy said

"Don't be ridiculous... He probably left the shelter only some time ago and forgot to change his clothes. It would be great if you were as strong as your imagination!"

"HEY!!! I'm strong! Do you want to fight me?!" Olivia said, jumping straight into Aimy's provocation as she replied.

"We have more than enough time to fight, let's play some games! Do you have [Ceroa's rise]?"

'Games?' In the beginning, Shane didn't want to bother about the girls, but hearing that they played a game, his interest was immediately attracted.

Neither on earth nor on Igra, Shane ever played any console game, because they were deemed as useless, except a few VR applications that were compatible to improve one's martial art techniques.

But Shane wasn't even allowed to play such a game and hearing Aimy who sat three seats behind her talking about a game, Shane was obviously interested.

He tried to distract himself by reading forum threadsPrimWeb, but hearing Aimy and Olivia laughing while playing a game, he was involuntarily drawn to them.

Without him knowing, he already stood next to Aimy. looking at the holographic screen where a warrior was fighting against a demon.

Only now did Shane take a proper look at Aimy and Olivia who sat opposite Aimy.

Aimy looked rather feeble with her small physique, while her long brown hair and eyelashes underlined her large eyes.

Shane thought she was pretty because her facial features stood out.

Olivia meanwhile, was similarly small like Aimy, but she couldn't be called feeble because one could see quite a lot of muscles, considering that she was a girl, while her eyelashes weren't any special. Her hair was short and blond in color while Shane would describe her facial features as common or average.

Comparing both of them, Aimy was rather modest, quiet, pretty, and thoughtful, while Shane estimated that Olivia was straightforward and blunt.

He remained quiet in order to not annoy the two girls that played their game ambitiously while his eyes gleamed in interest.

Time slowly passed and neither of them noticed something odd, as the two girls continued to play.

Suddenly they heard, a faint "go to the right", causing them to halt in their tracks

"To the right..why are you stopping?" Shane said, not noticing that something was off, as Olivia exclaimed.

"The handsome beggar!!" which caused Shane to frown lightly as he stared straight into Olivia's eyes

"Maybe not a beggar, but you're definitely handsome!" She said, without caring that Shane observed their game, while Aimy, who was only several dozen centimeters away from him, looked up at him with widened eyes.

'I didn't notice him at all?!' She was astonished to notice Shane's approach as she seized him from head to toe.

Clearing her throat, she felt weird that Shane watched them playing, as she said.

"How long have you been watching us?" While she added a little bit of anger in her voice, trying to cover her uncertainty.

Looking at the system's time, Shane answered honestly "Probably half an hour?"

Olivia laughed out and said slyly. "Oh! Did you stalk us for half an hour? You bad boy!", while Aimy said

"Don't you know that it's rude to approach two girls while hiding?"

Shane thought for a moment what exactly he did and realized that he quietly approached them, only to stay next to Aimy in order to have a better view of the game.

With an "Oh!!" Shane pondered for a moment what to say.

"Please don't misunderstand, I don't care about either one of you... I was only interested in the game you two played!"

After saying this, he heard Olivia laughing out, while Aimy's mouth twitched

"That's the spirit!! Handsome boy!! I like you... My name is Olivia Berg...Are you also a student of the Shirai academy? How come you don't know [Ceroa's rise]?! It goes viral on Igra!! You can even use a VR appliance with it and improve your martial art technique and combat experience!"

Olivia ignored Aimy's weird expression completely because she didn't care about such a minor thing and Shane sighed in relief, that she didn't misunderstand him and what Olivia said ignited his interest.

"Yes, your guess was correct. I'm also a student at the Shirai academy. My name I Shane Suro and I don't know this Ceroa's rise… I've never played any games at all which was the reason why I was so interested in it. Sorry again"

Shane was a little bit embarrassed because he didn't think he was doing it. With his aunts and uncles around, he didn't have to think much about what he was doing because he could write, say and behave like he wanted, with a few small restrictions, but that was it.

Approaching strangers as he did was creepy and understanding his own wrong behavior made him feel uncomfortable.

Aimy slowly calmed down and hearing that Shane never played was weird, because everyone she knew had at least played one or two games in their life even if it was only for them to increase their combat prowess

"You don't improve your martial art techniques by playing games? What else are you doing in your free time with your friends?"

Suddenly, both Olivia and Aimy noticed, Shane, frowning lightly, and his mouth twitched.

He wasn't sure how to answer this question but he tried to remain simple, without exposing anything that shouldn't be revealed, as he shrugged his shoulders.

"I never really had any free time and there are no friends to play with."
