CHAPTER 4

Ashley prepared his sword. A rapier. And she has her stick on the other hand. Ashley ran quickly to the monster and attacked the spider legs with successive blows. The spider monster realized the presence of Ashley and threw spider webs covered with poison in her direction. She created a barrier protection around her. And continuing threw blows to the spider controlling very well the time between open and close the barrier.

When the spider was almost dead It ran to Ashley with its last breath. Ashley used her healing magic to cover the edge of her sword. And attacked with her highest speed. With that attack the spider finally died and after a few seconds the spider became a part of the game and disappeared. The people who were frantically breaking out of the monster stopped and looked at the person who defeated the monster and burst in praise to the beautiful girl that saved them.

Ashley can't avoid smiling happily and brilliantly. The name of Warrior and Magician Ashley was made famous in one day. She started to receive offers from famous teams as they wanted her to join their teams. But she refused. The girl of wavy platinum blond hair and beautiful light blue eyes gained a lot of reputation. The level of Ashley improved quickly. So although she hasn't been in the top levels. She has a good reputation among the players.

Ashley feels very grateful to Alan because she never be a good player without him. They both improved their relationship and could be considered friends. But just when Ashley felt happy and gains confidence in herself. Alan gave her bad news.

—Are you leaving? — Ashley was stunned when Alan told her that he needed to go.

—Yes, I have to do some things —Ashley doesn't ask him but she knows that he needs to return with the advanced teams.

—Oh, I see —She feels depressed. But when she thought about all the things that he teached her in almost two years. She obligated herself to seem happy and told him.

—Thank you very much Alan — She smiled at him and told him if he ever needed her help. He can contact her any time.

—Okay, I will — Ashley prepared a big meal that night. Since she learned to cook. She tries to do her own meal.

That night both talked about things without importance until dawn. Alan recommended Ashley to join in a team, she knows that he will worried about her so she promised that she would think about it. The next day Alan offered to take Ashley to the guild. Ashley didn't want to go soon. And meanwhile she was thinking of a good excuse to use. A player went out of bushes.

—Help...me...— Alan and I were startled. But before they even could react the girl fainted.

—Is she dead? —Alan advanced in front of Ashley and moved towards the girl.

—No — Alan said when he was near the girl. Ashley got closer to them and saw that the girl was stained in her own blood.

—Damn it! —Ashley started to use her magic while she knit her brows.

—She was almost dead — Ashley said while finishing the emergency treatment.

—I take off her traces —Alan got into the forest for about thirty minutes.

—Thank you Alan. You must be leaving — Alan understood the reminder of Ashley but he didn't want to leave her alone with an unknown player.

—I will be fine. If something happens, I am going to call you. Okay? —Although Alan wasn't sure. He went

In some part of the road, He was tempted to return with Ashely but continued because the call of his friends wouldn't allow more excuses anymore. He himself doesn't know why he stayed with Ashley so long. Whenever he thought about returning with his team. He always postponed his decision. He felt somewhat irritated so he opens the game window and maintains his eyes in the movements of Ashley. Because she was in his friends list he can see her ubication in the map. It is the same case with his ubication. Ashley can see him. He saw the map until he arrived at the portal and with a deep sigh closed his game window.
