Chapter 5: The Way Facing Of A New Life

They stepped into the elevator and Aether and Beatrice entered the elevator.

then Aether started a conversation amidst the silence there , And Then Aether Said to Beatrice

"Hmm... Beatrice Did you know about the light in my chest before?"

Beatrice answered "You mean, the light when you are prayed for"

"Yes, Beatrice I Mean That light," answered Aether

"Yeah Okey, I Will Explains That" Beatrice Answered

"And Mmm...by the way, can you just call me Trice to be familiar?" Beatrice answered with a request.

"Oh! okay Trice" Aether answered with an angelic smile

Beatrice was enchanted by Aether's cuteness, until her face turned red and said in her heart "Aaaaahhhgggg!!! So cute" Beatrice said while holding her hand.

However, Aether only responded with a plain and innocent expression. After joking, they entered the elevator to exit the bunker.

However, when Aether and Beatrice prepared to leave the bunker using the elevator, Beatrice started talking to Aether about magic.

"Aether, do you know about magic?" Beatrice asked, noting the confused expression on Aether's face.

"Magic? Isn't that against science?" Aether answered, confused by the question.

Beatrice explained patiently, "(Sigh),You Are Always "You always stick to your Rationality huh, aether"

"Listen Aether, Maybe You are Not Believed What I Say But, All of that is beyond the reach of science. Even though science uses precise and precise calculations, there are some things that cannot be explained by natural science. Magic is one of them. There is magic that cannot be understood by human reason, but there is also magic that can used with a certain method."

Beatrice's explanation made Aether feel enthusiastic and curious.

"So, why hasn't magic been demonstrated before the nuclear war occurred?" asked Aether.

"Magic is very secret and is strictly guarded by the state, the reason is that it is used as a tool of war and for other purposes."

"However, there are many depravities committed by the Political out there," answered Beatrice with a serious face.

Aether became increasingly curious and asked further, "What is depravity, Beatrice?"

With a worried face, Beatrice refused to answer, "No! I can't tell you now."

Aether asked again "hmmm...what I'm surprised about is how you know so much, where did you get this information from, Trice?"

"How come you also gave me highly confidential, even state-level information!?"

Beatrice With a Worried Expression Said "Ughhh... mmmmm..... About That's Mmm..." Beatrice Answered Nervously And Afraid

Aether could only nod, then said with an eerie smile, "Yeah-Yeah-Yeah, So, you know a lot huh, trice!" Aether's Horrifying Smile Replies That suspect Beatrice

Beatrice was silent, feeling scared by Aether's smile which was usually cute but had now turned into a scary smile.

Then the elevator slowly rose, opening the roof top door of the Bunker which brought them closer to the outside world they didn't know. Beatrice tried to calm herself down and refocus on their task.

The First Light That Dazzled Their Eyes after Years in the Bunker. The feeling that has long arisen in Aether's love for the natural world and adventure increasingly increases Aether's enthusiasm.

Arriving at the surface, they saw a changed world. The environment ravaged by nuclear war appears bleak and full of challenges. However, Aether and Beatrice know that they must continue their journey to find further clues about Doctor Mobius and Auriel's safety.

"Wait for me, Auriel, I will definitely save you, I promise that," said Aether in his heart.

"Come on, Trice. We have to be strong and survive. We will find the answer to all of this," said Aether with strong determination.

Beatrice nodded, although there was still fear in her. They stepped out of the elevator, ready to face a new life full of challenges and danger.

(The first step)

With the supplies they found in the bunker, Aether and Beatrice begin their journey. They moved carefully through the ruins, always alert for any danger that might arise. They both took things they could take there that they could carry, then Aether asked Beatrice about Vault Boy.

"Trice, if I may say this Vault Boy besides opening the Vault Bunker Door, what else can I do?"

Beatrice Explains That Vault Boy Was Used

"So that's how it is, this item is very valuable huh?"

"That's why the Vault Boy is indeed a very rare item and is sought after by many people," answered Beatrice

"So, you have to look after him and hide the item so you won't be targeted."

"How many people have been after this Vault Boy, Trice?" Aether asked

With knowledge, Beatrice tells the surprising incident about this Vault Boy. In the period before the nuclear war occurred, many people wanted to get this Vault Boy by any means, even to the point of killing their own family and everyone without mercy.

Beatrice also explained that in the year 2300, before the post-apocalyptic world was destroyed by nuclear war, it became the background for life in the most powerful country called the Republic of Uther and its mortal enemy called the Republic of Roulemonte, a region full of danger and uncertainty. In the midst of the chaos of a once advanced civilization, a surviving Scout known as Boden Ainwell finds a small tool that will support his life in an adventure full of challenges. That tool is the Vault-Boy 3000 Scout VII.

Vault-Boy is not just an ordinary electronic device. In a world of Before or After War filled with deadly heated politics, Many people cannot be trusted, and conflict between factions, Vault-Boy is an irreplaceable, loyal friend. Worn on the wrist, it offers a range of essential functions designed to help users survive and thrive in this cruel world.

Firstly, the Vault-Boy allows Survivors to manage their Luggage efficiently. Every item found on the go can be easily accessed and organized via the Vault-Boy interface. From weapons and ammunition to food and medicine, everything is neatly stored, ready to use whenever needed. Not only that, this tool also provides detailed information about each item, including its weight and condition, so users can make wise decisions about what to bring and what to leave behind.

Apart from that, Vault-Boy is also a very reliable guide. With a digital map that is always updated, Scout Survivors can explore every corner of the Republic of Uther without fear of getting lost. Important locations such as settlements, hideouts, and quest locations are clearly marked, providing easy and efficient navigation. This feature is vital in situations where direction and purpose are often the difference between life and death.

More than just a navigation and inventory tool, Vault-Boy also monitors the physical condition of its users. Any injuries, radiation poisoning, or exhaustion are recorded in real-time, allowing the Scout Survivor to take necessary medical action. With this function, players can know when they need to rest, eat, or use First Aid to heal wounds.

Vault-Boy also functions as a recorder of all important information found throughout the adventure. Every note, holotape, and terminal data found is neatly stored, ready to be accessed at any time. It provides deeper context and background to the world around and the stories hidden in every corner of the Uther Republic.

Another function that is no less important is quest management. Vault-Boy records every task and mission a Scout Survivor must complete, providing clear guidance and goals. With this, Users can plan their steps, set priorities, and ensure that no important details are overlooked.

Lastly, this tool is also a mirror of the character's personal development. Every level reached, every new ability gained, and every achievement achieved are all recorded in the Vault-Boy. This allows Scout Survivors to assess their strengths and weaknesses, as well as plan strategies to face greater challenges in the future.

In a post-nuclear cold war world, the Vault-Boy 3000 Scout VII is more than just a tool. He is a symbol of hope, resilience, and knowledge in the midst of destruction. With a Vault-Boy on their wrist, the Scout Of Survivor not only survives, but also finds meaning and purpose in the ruins of the world they once knew.

"Oh, so that's the Short explanation," answered Aether With a bit Annoyed After Hearing Long Explanation From Beatrice

"Kufufufu, Also You Know, Vault Boy also has certain weaknesses," answered Beatrice With Proudly

"Weaknesses. If so, what is the way to overcome the weaknesses?" asked Aether

"So That's Why I told you , that you must To Take Care Of it carefully" Beatrice Answered

"This item can be used to transfer data that you have saved, so be careful if there is a lot of data in your Vault Boy!"

"Okay then, Trice, I will take responsibility for this," responded Aether

"So that's it, let's continue our journey Aether"

"All Right, let's Go! " Aether answered with Full enthusiasm

While on the road, Aether continues to think about magic and how it could be the key to finding and saving Auriel. They have to overcome many obstacles and threats, but they are confident that with their cooperation and knowledge, they can succeed.

They know that the outside world is full of unpredictable threats, but with determination, they move forward towards their goals. Magic, state secrets, and Auriel's existence are the main motivations for their journey.

With an unwavering spirit, Aether and Beatrice continue their journey, ready to face whatever comes their way to find the truth and save their friend.
