"By the way, what are your stats Adas?" Ricky asked

"My Stats? They are normal"

I showed them my stats. I am really glad I got faker skill so I can fake my stats.

[You should thank me for that]

I forgot this annoying brat is still on my head. What do I need to thank you for? It's not like you gave me this skill.

"What are your stats?"

Ricky stats are

LVL-27

HP-100

ATK-123

DEF- 200

AGILITY- 102

His defense is higher than mine.

"How is your defense so high even though you are level 27?"

"It's because of this shield"

"It's an SSR item"

"Is that good?"

"It's the most rare item in this game"

"What are you talking about? "My sword is more rare" Elena said

Her sword is SSSR.

"The rarest item in this game"

"Don't forget who gave you this" Rikka said

"So what?"

"Can't you at least act grateful?"

"Why should I?"

"Umm...what is going on?"

"Oh, we told you before right? Our leader is very greedy. She took the item we found"

"Don't say it like I am a bad person"

"You are not?"

"I am not"

"Well none of us use swords so we gave it to her"

"Hmph"

"Be grateful"

"Yeah, yeah, I am grateful"

My girlfriend is greedy.

Most rare huh? I wonder what my sword is. It must be SR.

I looked at my sword stat and...legendary? The hell is that?

"What rarity is your sword, Adas?"

"Oh it's normal"

I used my 'Faker' skill again to fake my sword stat.

Rikka stats are

LVL-25

HP-100

ATK-153

DEF-112

AGILITY- 133

Elena's stats are

LVL-43

HP-100

ATK-222

DEF-132

AGILITY-172

Her ATK is higher than mine, as expected of my girlfriend.

"Well both of you are sword users so it's good in its own way"

"Why did you choose shield user?"

"Well my wife here doesn't like close combat so"

"Hehe"

What an awesome couple but still can't believe they got married at 18.

"It's your turn to make breakfast tomorrow," Rikka said.

"I know"

Huh? Wait...it can't be...

"Hey could it be that you two live together?"

"Huh? Obviously, we are married after all"

Right, you live together when you get married.

"Actually even right now we are sleeping next to each other"

What an awesome couple. I wonder if Elena and I would be like this in the future.

"Naked"

"Naked?"

"Haha, that was a joke"

Oh, it was a joke, there is no way they are naked right now while sleeping next to each other.

"At least I am not" Ricky said

What a crazy couple.

Elena has been silent for a while, what happened to her?

"Reina?"

"Adas!"

"Yeah?"

"You are levelling up tomorrow, okay?"

"...Okay"

I was worried for nothing.

"There is a world boss fight every Wednesday too"

"World boss?"

"Yeah it's a super crazy strong monster, all the players fight it at same time and you get rewards depending on your ranking, so you have to level up tomorrow okay?"

My girlfriend is greedy.

"We are here"

Amazing, the sea at night looks awesome. Elena took me in the forest yesterday, it was amazing but this is on a whole other level. All the stars in the sky are reflecting on the sea surface, it's truly amazing.

But why didn't Elena bring me here?

"Rei...na"

Hey by chance, could it be that she is scared of the sea?

"Reina"

"Yes?"

"Could it be that you are scared of--"

"I am not"

I didn't even finish what I was saying. She made fun of me when she found out that I was afraid of heights and now it's payback time.

"You are afraid of the sea right?"

"Wh-what are y-you talking about?"

"You are, right?"

"I am not"

"Then how about you go in there?"

"I will, I will prove it that I am not afraid of the sea"

She walked to the sea, she was in the sea and the water was at her knees.

"..."

The stars are reflecting on the sea surface and my girlfriend is in the sea, she looks so beautiful.

My girlfriend is beautiful.

"See, I am not afraid of ---"

Suddenly a big sea monster appeared behind Elena and ate her.

"Ele...na?"

[Warning]

"Oops that was the worst way to die"

"Elena...Elena...Elena...Elena"

[Warning warning warning warning warning]

I ran towards the sea but Ricky grabbed me.

"Let go...Elena...Elena"

"Calm down Adas"

"But Elena..."

"It's okay, it's a game, she will just respawn at the login point"

"Huh?"

That's right, it's a game Adas. It's not real...it's not real.

"It's the first time you saw it huh?"

"..."

"When Rikka and I were beginners, we used to die all the time"

"Is that so?"

But still what was that voice? It was something like warning warning. What was it about? They didn't hear it right? But Lily must have heard it.

"Hey Lily" I whispered

[What is it?]

"What was that voice about?"

[What voice?]

"That warning warning sound"

[I didn't hear anything like that]

"Is that so?"

I want to see her. I want to touch her. I want to hear her voice. I want to see her smile.

We soon reached the login point. I saw Elena coming our way.

"Hey Adas, I was coming tha--hey what are you doing? People are looking at us."

I hugged her without realizing.

"Oh my, he loves her so much" Rikka said

"Hey Adas let go, I am okay"

"Man, he really lost it back there"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"After you got eaten he was screaming your name like crazy"

"Are you okay Elena?"

"Yeah I am okay and call me Reina here"

She doesn't look okay.

"It didn't hurt right?"

"What are you talking about? This is a game, it just felt like a mosquito bite, it didn't hurt at all"

"I understand"

"Well then we are logging out now"

"Okay"

"Well then Adas, I am logging out too"

"Huh? There is still some time until 1:00 AM"

"I am feeling sleepy so...bye, see you tomorrow"

She immediately logged out.

Tomorrow is Saturday so there is no school. That means we will meet in a game.

I logged out too.

I opened my eyes, my head hurts but I don't care about that. My legs feel numb but I don't care about that.

What hurts me the most is that scene. If I hadn't teased Elena then she wouldn't have gone into the sea, and she wouldn't have gotten eaten by that monster.

Maybe it didn't hurt. She said she is okay, but she was definitely scared of the sea and I teased her. Not only did she go into the sea, but she also got eaten by the monster.

"I can't forgive myself for that"
