The Adventurer System

Psh!

He slowly took off the black VR helmet, then suddenly, nano mist released a lavender scent. It easily spread the comfy scent in his entire room.

Yet, his forehead was knitted as he seems to dislike the words he heard before he logged out in the VR world.

"What she said? We will climb to the Heaven's Dream Continent?" Yumiro sighed with irritation. "First of all, I'm not sure If I could reach that place. But, if they will give me chance? I don't have a plan to bring you there."

In his mind, what is Roshy thinking? He just fulfilling her request that exchange from helping him to the other adventurers.

He then positioned the VR helmet over his pillow and unexpectedly noticed something that wasn't new in his eyes.

"Oh, what's this?" He gently tugged the yellow sticky note that was plastered in the VR helmet next to him.

'Brother Yumiro, once you come back in the real world. Please, don't forget to eat the food inside the kitchen. Sorry, if I can't join in our dinner in the meantime. As I'm busy with some stuff right now, so I were you enjoy the game while I'm busy.'

After he read Amiya's message, he had a narrow smile on his face. As he was glad to see his little sister that focusing on her own life. Since she stuck with him several years ago.

"That's right Amiya, live your life whatever you want. I know you made a lot of sacrifices just for my sake. But, this is the right time to focus on yourself."

5 minutes had passed, now Yumiro was carefully hopping in his wheelchair. Since he experienced getting injured with it a couple of times as the wheel was moving on its own.

When the time he was done, he placed his in each wheel. Then pushed it with all his strength as he knew the wheel wouldn't move if he just used some strength.

He passed in his door, and in front of him, was the main door that passes to the main road. In the place, where the school bus usually stopped.

"This is my real life, I would never change it." He murmured along with a deep sigh.

For Yumiro, a silent place was just an ordinary occurrence in his daily life. In his mind, four years ago their house was surrounded by bunches of people. As they visited to encourage him for the Taekwondo World Cup.

Yet, after they found out the taekwondo prodigy won't ever come back inside the ring. All the people he thought was his friend was easily faded away. Knowing that there was no use if they kept sticking around with a disabled young man.

He switched the positioned of his wheelchair to the left side, where he could see the wooden square table and the delicious food prepared by Amiya.

Amiya was a smart woman, and also a kind beautiful little sister to Yumiro. As a matter of fact, when the time she discovered her brother was Yumiro had paraplegia, she arranged the position of their things according to her brother's needs. To be exact, she brought down all the essential items, so Yumiro wouldn't having a hard time if Amiya wasn't home.

On the wooden table, there was a bowl that supposedly his food. Beside it, there was a TV remote for a flat screen that was mounted onto the wall. This was what he usually did when he was having dinner alone.

He opened the bowl cover with a delighted smile. "Her cooking skills never forget to amaze me, it's incredible for her age." He glanced at it for a couple of seconds, and eventually took it away so he could turn on the TV.

As soon as the screen pop-up, he then took a glimpse at it while slowly savoring the hot delicious food inside his mouth.

"Bff!"

He coughed twice and attempted to puke his food, after seeing the image of the young man covered by the thick dust in the TV news. Even the image was blurred he could tell it was him since the Adventurer screen name showed up.

"Huh, what I'm doing in the TV news?" He asked himself where the TV light beamed his clueless eyes.

While seeing his blurred image sliding on a TV screen. Suddenly, the newscaster spoke about the true reason behind it.

"Grim Draigh, the screen name of this player eventually reached the number 1 spot trending on all social media platforms. Moreover, all the businessmen worldwide were looking for him, and one of them is Arashki Tusei. He's the number one investor in the Adventure System that collecting strong adventurers. Let's hear what he said." The newscaster said with a gruff tone.

Then a video clip of an old man wore a glittering white suit appeared. He was smoking in front of the polished desk with a serious expression.

"Hey, Adventurers! Just one quick message for all of you, if someone who had information about this adventurer." He showed Yumiro pictures. "Grim Draigh, the adventurer we're looking for, so if you have any information, please, message us. And the payment will be based on how much information do you have, Adios!"

After the video clip ended, he accidentally changed the TV channel along with his shivered hands.

"R-Roshy is right, they're really looking out for me, but why? I didn't tell to anyone about the Zexel I have. And Roshy will not help me if she's the one who spread it." He was dumbfounded at the group of adventurers on a TV screen.

He was confused about the two situations that popped inside his mind. One of it, he didn't reveal himself with those businessmen, might be the opportunity that could help his sister would slip again in his hands. Because there was a tendency they could find a strong adventurer than him.

In the second scenario, once he quickly revealed himself. Then, if we look at the strength he had right now, it was easy for the other adventurers to PK him. And even they haven't felt any kind of pain, still, once he died he will never get back.

Grasp...

Then suddenly, a pale hand shrugged his shoulder, which made him brought back his senses.

"Brother Yumiro, it seems you're serious about something." Amiya said with a honeyed tone, then walked towards the refrigerator to get some water.

"Yeah, but don't mind me, just focus on your studies okay?" He said along with his stolid expression.

"Yes, brother Yumiro. I just went here because I forgot my bottled water." She said and saw his brother heavily sighed. "Sorry, brother."

He glanced at her and said. "Sorry for what?"

"I can see to your face that you have a problem, but I can't do anything to help you." She said with a weak tone.

He seemed to smile. "I said don't mind me, I'm just thinking about the game, okay? And remember what I always said, you have your own life so you must be live it without thinking too much about me. For the past 4 years, you withstand to become my legs, and now I slightly recover from the trauma, you can enjoy your life so you didn't have any regrets." He stated and slowly patted Amiya's head.

"I don't have any regrets, brother Yumiro. Thank you so much for your understanding. I promise when I finish with my all activities I'll rush to you and help you in the VR world." She went off into the place and suddenly peak as she forgot something. "I forgot to mention after you eat don't forget to take your medicine, okay?" She said and leave.

Now, Yumiro actually could smile. "Okay, Amiya I don't forget it." He replied.

When Amiya left, he continues to eat his food before it was getting cold. Nevertheless, his eyes still on the TV screen, discovered there was a channel for the VR game.

"Hmm, this game really had a big influence in the current year." He uttered to his mind while savoring the delicious food.

10 minutes had passed, Yumiro completely finished his food and also took his medicine. After that, he didn't realise his attention was slowly caught by the scene, as he watching the actual expeditions of the adventurers that members of the number 3 guild in the VR world.

It was the Xarki guild, the number 3 guild that securely obtained their spots by just competing in the guild war that happened every year. And in each guild, only 5 members could participate in the event, so they filtered the members until the 5 members left.

__

On the TV screen, there were 5 members of the Xarki guild stood beside the orange portal, it could tell where they were guild came from since the guild logo and the guild name showed over the screen name of the adventurer. It seemed those 5 adventurers we will be having an expedition.

Then suddenly, Yumiro knitted his forehead as he recognised one of the adventurers. That face was familiar to him, but he couldn't where the actual place he saw this man. "A middle-aged man looks like a Viking, hmm..." He took a deep breath while recalling the man's face.

It was like a bulb pop-up in his mind after he remembers the man. "Right, he's Harun, the annoying middle-aged man." He then moaned and stretched his hands. "Ahhh! I'm sleepy,"

But on the other side, after the adventurers entered the orange portal, they immediately teleported to the place where the blizzard touched their skins.

"Be careful, we are inside the mid-level dungeon. Let's go!"
