VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

"No luck today either?"

[{ No, master. }]

Since they started looking for that glowing grass, it had been around a month. And it had been two months since they came here.

They had not found any way to get out of this place and they were still searching for it every single day.

"Haaa…"

They were tired after looking for even a single blade of some simple grass for all day. Their creature friends from the forest didn't come to help them for some reason either, so the two of them were the only ones looking around for the grass today.

"I'm tired, Sera."

He had done his physical training in the early morning and he had done his magic training later in the afternoon.

He had looked for that grass for six hours today as well and now that it was evening time, he was going to eat and go to his cave, and sleep for the night… which wasn't really like a night at all. Enjoy new stories from empire

"I'm going to go crazy one of these days, Sera."

This bright blue sky filled with clouds that seemed as close as a monkey in the zoo cage, the slowly moving clouds, the brightness of the day that was present for all day long, and even the silence of the darker forest side most of the side.

Sometimes, he felt all alone even though he was with the creatures that were present all around him. And sometimes, when Sera was gone, he was actually alone.

[{ Don't say things like that, master. }]

It was not a good thing that he was always alone in this place. Even with Sera being there, even with all those creatures that play along with him and the always increasing number of creatures that had an interest in him, he was still the only human in that place.

Sera wasn't human but she was with him and she saw him suffering through loneliness all the time.

She knew how he was a people person and liked being around people. At the very least, he needed someone like Alex or Olive around him to not get bored.

And, Sera had already seen him do all kinds of things in the time he wasn't training or reading or creating something out of anything that he found.

"Haaaa… it is what it is, Sera."

He had carved sculptures out of wood, he had created spells that were useful as well as useless in the time they were stuck here, and he had gotten stronger with each day of his training.

He wasn't hurting himself physically since he had those healing bugs, but he was curtaining mentally exhausted.

Unlike the last few weeks, he wasn't even clicking photos of the things that they came across anymore.

He wasn't painting things, or drawing anything.

He simply went on with finding that grass and ultimately those purple eyes that he had seen that one time even though he had no idea if it actually existed or not.

"Anyway… do you feel anything weird Sera? No creatures came out today, did you see any creatures on your way back?"

[{ Hmm? Yes I did, master. Though… most, oh, almost all of them were inside their houses. }]

Sera was worried about him, but she had to help him with anything he needed her, and more. She was the only one here with him and she didn't want him to go crazy.

She couldn't see him any more miserable than he already was. So, she did all that she could to help him.

"Hmmm. Isn't that weird."

His condition aside, he was right this time.

"They weren't like this a few hours ago, right?"

Just this morning, they were all training together and working on their teamwork.

They were with their group that had grown up to a few dozen now, and were having fun, but then they all went back and didn't come back at all.

[{ Now that you mention it… }]

It definitely was strange, for her as well.

Many of them didn't even like staying in their house most of the time.

The tiger, especially, was never in his house but today, he went back today for some reason.

And, now that they had noticed it, they also thought it was weird…

"There should be some reason behind it, right?"

[{ There should be… }]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the two months they had been here, this was their first time encountering this weird situation.

Elio especially found it strange, as well as motivating.

"How about we go and check up on them?"

[{ Master, you're tired right now. How will you even walk to the other side? }]

They were still at the edge of the darker side of the forest.

Most of the creatures with them live on the other side of the forest so they would have to walk back to check up on them, but he was too tired for that.

[{ We should rest a little first. }]

The situation right now was even more weird now that they thought about it.

The entire forest was too quiet right now.

There was nothing, no creature in sight right now.

Even the sounds of the creatures that are almost always filled with the sounds were eerily quiet right now.

"Hmmm…"

He looked around himself, a strange sensation foaming up inside him.

He didn't know what was happening but he wanted to know.

And…

-Oooooooooooooooooong!

He didn't have to wait for long to find out the reason for this eerie silence.

[{ Master… }]

He was outside of the dark area, so he could see the sky above him clearly.

"Yes, Sera?"

It didn't take him too long to find out how the sky that had always been bright and sunny, as Sera was seeing, was turning darker for some reason.

"What…?"

The white clouds turned gray and the sky became darker.

The blue vanished and a stark red took over its place.

[{ We should find a shelter, master. }]

They had been living under a bright sunny sky for the last two months.

So, when they faced a situation that they had never experienced before, they simply stood stunned in their places.

And, it wasn't a good thing.

-Oooooooooooooooooooong!

A red night befell on this eternally bright paradise.

[{ Master! Watch out! }]

A night that was going to change many things that they knew about this place until now.
