Chapter 18: Exit

I opened my eyes and felt something putting pressure on me from my side. I looked over and saw Luna's naked body clinging onto me like a koala while she had a calm and tranquil expression.

Her leg rested across my waist which made her crotch rub against my thigh. One of her arms was wrapped across my chest and the other went around my neck, and they linked up around my neck with interlocking fingers, while her head rested on my shoulder.

I looked at her with a smile and gave her a light peck on the forehead. It seemed that this action woke her up because her body started to slowly rustle from under the covers.

Soon, her eyelids groggily opened and revealed her diamond blue eyes that had the same shade as her hair. Her glossy plump lips curled into a beautiful smile, lifting her cute cheeks to take on a defined structure. She puckered up her lips and leaned in for a kiss, which I reciprocated.

We shared a regular but sweet kiss for a few seconds before I pulled my lips away from hers. But as I pulled away I noticed an odd smell enter my nose.

I took a big whiff of the room to analyze what the smell was, and found that it was a mixture of the sweat our bodies produced from our long "exercise," the juices of Luna's vagina, the sperm of my penis, and the hormones we released from our wild night.

It was the infamous smell of sex.

The scent made me frown, and questions started to appear in my mind. This revelation about the after-effects of our sex in this game world was something I didn't think about, and I decided to get answers.

"When I left the game on my last visit, what happened?" I asked Luna, wondering about how my room had been cleaned. At first, I didn't realize that the room had been cleaned up because I wasn't paying attention to it, but now that I finally noticed it, it got me thinking of how it was cleaned.

I immediately came up with two ways that the room could have been cleaned up, but after thinking of those options more thoroughly I found that they both held flaws that made them impossible to be true.

The first solution I thought of was that Luna had cleaned the room. This was supported by how the only things that had been cleaned were what we dirtied in the first place, the table, and the bed. It would also explain why the room wasn't fully cleaned because all Luna would want to clean would be what we made dirty.

But then how would that explain the smell of sex going away after his first visit into the game? And how did the wet sheets become clean again? It was impossible to clean the smell so thoroughly without cleaning supplies, yet there was no such thing in this room!

Thus, this eliminated that answer out of the question, and I thought about my second answer.

Perhaps a third party had entered into the game and cleaned my room up? This was an entirely possible scenario, as having an entity who had the job of cleaning up the creations of the Author would be smart. This would provide a good explanation as to how the smell was cleaned and the room cleansed without any cleaning supplies, as the third party would have brought their own.

But I also found this theory to be wrong. Why? Well, a cleaner hired by the Author should be top-notch, right? After all, he gave me a phone with divine powers just so that he could write a book about it! With such power, why the hell would he hire a third-rate cleaner? So if he really did hire a cleaner, why was my room still dirty?

There was still dust on the fan, dirt stains on the walls, dirty clothes in the laundry basket, and empty bottles on my desk. Shouldn't a cleaner hired by the Author cleaned this room until it was spotless? So why was my room still…looking like my room?

To me, it didn't look "cleaned." Instead, it looked...reset?

"Ah, I don't really know why it all cleaned mast-, uh, I mean Dillon. The last time you visited me the room didn't clean itself when you left, but I kinda got bored and fell asleep after you left. But when I woke back up the room changed and became clean again, but I didn't even notice it because I was so happy that you were here!" Luna answered me in a wondering tone.

Hearing her words confirmed my theory of how the room wasn't really cleaned, instead, it was reset to what it was supposed to be. So because I imagined the room to be like my room in real life, it had reset back to my original room's looks. It seemed that this reset system would only work when I left the game, but what surprised me was that it didn't work unless Luna was sleeping.

In a single-player game, the entire world would pause once the player left because the game revolved around the player. But when I left the game it didn't instantly reset, it only reset when Luna fell asleep.

There were three explanations for this.

The first explanation is that this isn't a single-player game because there is no player. Perhaps my way of thinking was too linear and narrow because I immediately thought that this phone would make the games follow the general outline of a videogame. But perhaps there was no difference between me, the player, and Luna, the NPC. At the end of the day, the system attributed us as inhabitants of the game.

The second explanation is that Luna was special and counted as a player and that if I had made a game with more inhabitants they would be regular NPCs while Luna would be a player.

The third explanation was much more simple and was backed with evidence instead of a hypothesis.

First of all, time keeps on running when I'm in the game which means time is an applicable concept in this game.

It also runs when I'm outside of the game because when I left it the first time I visited Luna was still awake.

But although time still runs, it doesn't run at the same interval. This could be discerned from when I slept inside the game, yet when I went back outside it was dawn.

Perhaps this reset system was unique to only this game because of it being a sex simulator, and only the environment would reset but not the characters which are why it needed to wait for Luna to sleep before resetting.

Maybe in other games, the reset system would be different, or most likely there would be no reset system at all.

I felt that the final explanation was the most realistic explanation, and I suddenly came up with an interesting thought.

'Could I control this time interval?'

I opened up my phone in my mind and scrolled through the pages, and went to the unique page with apps that were added by the Author.

But just as I remembered it from the last time I checked my phone, there were only two extra apps. Game Downloader and Status.

I sighed and was about to give up when I got another idea.

I went to the phone's search bar and typed in "Settings," and clicked on the app icon of a grey gear.

This brought me into the settings app, and I once again went to the search bar and started typing in keywords.

"Sex Simulator."

It loaded for a bit before nothing came up.

"Simulator of Dreams."

Nothing.

"Time Control."

Nothing.

I sighed and tried one more search.

"Game Settings."

This search brought up two options. One was the regular games that I had downloaded before my phone went through this magical mutation, and the other was an icon I had never seen before.

I clicked onto the icon and was directed to a new screen where there was only one option called Time Interval.

A smile appeared on my face, painting a weird expression to Luna where my eyes were closed yet my lips were curved up.

"What?" Luna asked me in confusion.

I opened my eyes up at her and gave her a peck on the forehead, before saying; "Nothing. I've got to leave and go to school, I'll see you tonight."

Luna's expression became sad and her bright eyes visually dimmed, before her lips curled into a bitter smile.

"Come back soon, please," She said in a worried and slightly begging tone that made me feel pity for her.

Although I won't lie or say anything cheesy like how even though we had only met for two days I loved her, I will say that I found her pure personality quite refreshing from the people I meet every day in the real world.

You see, one of the traits I share with a psychopath is having the ability to imitate all human emotions to the point where I was on par with the best actors in the world. I achieved this by analyzing what people do when feeling a certain emotion, and copying that into my own arsenal of emotional manipulation.

For example, I could watch a movie and see a woman on the steps who was obviously gloomy. Most of the viewers consciously discerned this from the tears dropping from her eyes, but what they didn't know was that there were small cues in her actions that subconsciously radiated an "aura," or a vibe, that shot off sirens in a person's subconscious and triggered signals to make the people discern that the girl was sad.

Most of these cues come from body language and words, but there are other cues like environment, clothes, and even hygiene.

This ability of mine also allowed me to analyze another person's emotions which allowed me to look into their inner thoughts. Think of me as a detective from those cop movies, except I won't make 100% conclusions on a suspect's guiltiness if they take a slight glance upwards. That is pure fiction, and it at best could help support a theory already backed with other cues.

Because of this, I was constantly shown how fake people are in real life. I witness the popular girls desperately trying to obtain attention from their peers, I witness the elaborate act that the popular girl who is known for being innocent puts on despite being anything but innocent, I witness how teachers target specific children in the classroom to satisfy their urge of showing dominance and power, and many other situations.

Knowing all of this came with cons, and one of those cons was having a small number of friends which was a horrible combination with my high standards. This was why I only had a few friends throughout my entire life.

But Luna's pure smile was like pouring water onto the fire of lies. It was very refreshing, and although I didn't feel a strong natural connection like I did with Lauren I still felt a connection with her.

Her bitter smile made me feel horrible, and I wrapped my arms around her to give her a tight hug. I was a bit tempted to kiss her soft lips again, but I wanted to show her a more romantic and emotional connection instead of the physical attraction connection that we have already created.

She stiffened up at my tight hug as if she was surprised, but her bitter smile quickly turned back to her pure and happy smile as she embraced me back.

After a bit, I released my arms from her, much to her reluctance, and looked into her eyes.

"I will come back, I promise."

Her smile remained and she nodded happily. I smiled and willed myself to leave the game, causing my body to disappear out of Luna's sight and back into the real world.
