-Chapter Four

"Welcome back Mr. Miller" Magnus greets out loud with hesitation as he saw the taller man struggle with a few boxes. "Magnus, I told you to call me Nolen on the phone got it?" Nolan declares, putting the boxes down. "Right..." the boy responds. It was now quiet as they both sound there. "Do you wanna give me a hand with this? I only brought a few things, like from work at home stuff", the other chuckles to himself as Magnus picks up the smallest box he sees.

"W-what do you do for work?- I mean what's your job and stuff." He questions while walking by the male's side in the direction of the stairs. "Oh- well I'm sort of like an accountant with extra steps, my company likes to sometimes incorporate jobs to specific people."

Nolan finishes, as they walked Magnus couldn't help but glance a little at the make standing to his right. Since the other was wearing a dark blue short-sleeved polo shirt with denim pants, he could tell that the man was pretty lean from his poster alone, and it's now confirmed as he takes a look at the other's arm. 'What the heck is in that box of his' he thinks, looking forehand once more.

When they reached up the stairs, Magnus follows the direction in which the older male goes, it wasn't his mother's room. "I see... Are you going to use this for an office?" He asks, standing in front of the door to his two older sister's abandoned shared room, panting slightly from the consumption of energy. "Yes and no, it is also now my bedroom if you didn't know," Nolen says awkwardly. That seemed a bit strange to Magnus, but he knew better to question it. 'are they trying to make it less weird for me?" the boy thought as he watched the man open the bedroom door.

It was mostly empty of course, but there was an unfamiliar hefty bed to the right wall of the room with a nightstand by its side. A desk was placed on the front wall of the room, and a window to the left wall. "Ray is that everything!?" A woman's voice yells out from downstairs.

After a few seconds, the short lady made her way to the males. "Magnus! Glad you decided to help", she says holding the handle of medium-size luggage.

[What?! You can die like that in the game? That's actually pretty creative, props to your boyfriend Yanet!] Jimmy says with a smirk, as his character just perished from hypothermia. 

[Shud it ok! I was young and dumb and he had a killer smile] Rebecca says in defence, making Magnus laugh. "-Jimmy, you do realize that you have to go back to level one again now, I did tell you that your character needed more clothes," he says, earning a whiny groan from the other. Not that it really made much of a difference as they only started playing two hours ago.

The game overall was a bit more complex in its sense of realism. For version alpha that is. There were various missions from the start as soon as they downloaded the game. With not many other live players further than themselves, they found each other in a short time when they started playing.

For a fantasy bases game, the characters fluctuated over the usual. They initially decided to let the game pick randomly of which to be. The graphics were relatively simple with nothing really unique to the eyes except its cartoon-like style, it looks almost childish. But the game, it was the game itself that really captured their geeky brain. They decided to stick together for the most part, but the higher they were with their experience chart, the more it got interesting.

Magnus yawed after, stretching his arms,

while his character eats in a tavern On the

computer screen, He rearranged his headset. "hey, how long have we been playing?" He asks, before looking at the time.

His jaw dropped, "how did I not

notice It was already dark out!"The gamer yelled. [Shh!-] Rebecca lets out, "sorry.." He whispers back. [of course, you wouldn't notice, you barely let the sun shine in that cave of yours] she says honestly making Jimmy Snort and choke a little from his saliva, while Magnus rolls his eyes with a lazy smile.

"It might be dark but at least it doesn't look like a depressed 12 year old owned a garage" he shots back. [That doesn't even make sense! It looks cool okay~] Rebecca responds with a whine, [Ah-Ha my gosh-my parents don't let me do all that but Keep firing at each other, it keeps me awake.]

Jimmy announced, his room was overall bland and clean.

"Welp, I'm the opposite I think I'm gonna log off for today," Magnus says with droopy eyes. [whaaat, bro come on, one more mission before you head out] the dark brown-haired friend begs. "I don't know, your voices are so soothing it's making me sleepy~," he says dramatically. [flattery won't let you escape us, Mag, I admit that this game does use lots of brains but Jimmy's right, let's do one more mission ] Rebecca insists. The two players were now quietly chanting [one more] together. "Fine, I've been swayed I admit it! But I'm blaming you guys if I fail the morning test first period" He says, getting serious again.

The trios played for another few hours until they couldn't bear to keep their eyes open, like some overworked parents on their days off.

As they logged off goodbye, Magnus immediately took off his headsets and fly to his bed. When he started getting comfortable with a satisfying sigh. Soft patting could be heard outside the window gradually getting louder, almost like a sizzle of bacon a onion for some savory Kroppkakor. "Ugh~ I don't want to" he mumbled quietly from discomfort, as the fabric of his jeans start to be noticeably uncomfortable. He had completely forgotten that he was wearing his day clothes. He sighs in annoyance before getting up for his comfortable position, 'i'm never wearing jeans again...' he thinks to himself while opening his closet door. From the closet ground lies, his shoes, a few clothes, and a noticeable abandoned-looking box labelled memorable summer.

Finally wearing appropriate attire. He gets lul to sleep in Little time with the calming sound of rain, and a barely noticeable smile. On his face Dreaming of tactics to higher his level.

{Will it stay all fun in games in the future for him? Don't get your hopes up too high now~.}
