The Journey Begins(1)

Emir sent the connect request to Axoa and she accepted it, now they were able to see each other's profile information.

Axoa could see that Emir's claim was not false, he is actually one of the heroes of the metaverse. A hero in a metaverse is a person who has done good deeds and collected a lot of gems. Though metaverse doesn't have laws it does penalize people for bad deeds.

Emir was quite shocked when he saw the title of developer beside Axoa's name.

"Hey, you're a metaverse developer?" Emir asked

"Yes, I am..." Axoa claimed quite proudly.

"Show me what have you built!"

"I will show you that's the part of the bet"

"Oh, so you are going to use metaverse to show me reality? How absurd!"

"I can't make something as imperfectly beautiful as reality, but you will crave to see all the places I take you"

"Interesting why don't we begin the Journey then? I will start with my favorite cyberpunk world"

"Aren't we already in one? I don't like them " Axoa warned Emir.

But for Emir cyberpunk worlds are the best, where everything looks glamourous yet dangerous, he looked at Axoa to judge the character she was using, to check if she had the looks to visit the best cyberpunk world to exist. He has not noticed previously or maybe he did that the character Axoa was using looks flawless like top-tier characters.

"Did you build your own avatar?"

"Which avatar?"

"The one you are using right now, she looks really flawless..."

Axoa's avatar almost turned pink as she was using herself as her avatar. In metaverse, there are three options where one can use themselves as an avatar, buy an avatar or build a new avatar.

In a shy tone Axoa replied "Ummm... thank you that's actually my real self I just bought the purple armor.

Emir felt kind of awkward about blurting out things without thinking... though he couldn't stop himself from acknowledging her beauty - long black hair, toned figure, a beautiful face with amazing glow, as if some heavenly body was standing in front of him.

"I...I... actually meant the armor the shine is really good" Emir regretted everything he just said.

Axoa's shy smiling face turned into a grumpy one at once.

"Let's go to your destination, and stop this small talk already!... And if I ever see you hitting on me again, you will have a hard time!"

"Stop saying nonsense, Okay let's go"

"Hi Mera, I want you to take Axoa123 and Me to Zolo City"

Mera replied:"Yes,Sir at once"

Emir and Axoa both landed in Zolo city safely, it looked like a place that human civilization even couldn't develop in the real world, from flying cars to talking pets to buildings with the weirdest shapes, though the people were kind of creepy in Axoa's eye but for Emir they were the definition of coolness.

"Look how cool this place is, and not to mention how easily one can travel with the blink of an eye from one place to another!"

"Emir, you are missing the most important part that the journey is much more beautiful than the destination itself, in real-world you can feel how important the journey is... once you travel with your loved ones"

"You are plain stupid Axoa!"

The two of them did various things in the city, from casinos to gambling to bars. Emir also took Thea to a pet shop where animals could convey their feelings. But nothing Emir showed her could sway her off feet.

"Okay I will show you the beauty of speed, the fastest flying car ever to exist is in the metaverse!"

Emir took Axoa's hand and rushed towards a counter with excitement. Soon they were on the fastest flying car ever to exist. Axoa when was a Guardian angel in Heaven, had the capacity to fly with the velocity of light at the car was quite comparable to that, this was the first time she was astonished in the Zolo City.

"So how was the ride?" Emir couldn't control his excitement as it was quite evident for him that Axoa was surprised.

"Hmm... that was imp... I mean good I would say" Axoa commented.

"See now you agree that reality is shitty and this world is better?"

"Of course not! It's nowhere near to where we will be going!"

"Where is that? I will ask Mera to take us."

"No, we will be going by train!"

"What train? What is that? Wait is it that thing that went obsolete years ago? Are you kidding me?"

"No, of course not you will learn a very import lesson about life today"

"We will be taking the train from the place we met V city as I thought you were going to show me that place itself... so I built the train line from there"

"How troublesome, So you want me to take you to V city?"

"Hmmm... "

"Say please The Great Emir help me"

"What rubbish, do it fast Emir... I have to go and develop for tomorrow"

"You are such a bitch, Aren't you?"

"Hi Mera, Can you take me back to V city!"

"Wai..." he could hear a faint voice while traveling back to V city.

"Hahaha... a nice lesson for that stupid girl!... She must be thinking I transported first and now she has to spend her coins to get back here... poor girl"

After a good laugh, Emir felt it was enough lesson for Axoa in one day.

"Hi Mera, Can you bring Axoa123 back now"

Within split seconds Axoa appeared in front of Emir, she looked utterly frustrated and was giving Emir looks as if she will kill him any moment. But she calmed herself and without uttering a single word went towards the ticket counter for the train.

"Two tickets for Niagara Falls"

Emir could feel that Axoa was extremely offended, though he was an arrogant teenager he had a chivalrous man within himself, rather he behaves with everyone in a heroic manner this was his first time to show someone his inner child.

"Axoa I am sorry... I shouldn't have done that"

"It's okay, I understand you are still a kid and I will have my revenge soon, you just wait!"
