"What happened that you are looking straight this whole time?"
"I leveled up.", he was with a strange face. "But I didn't defeat any combat or anything like this."
"You must remeber that this is the real world. Not everything that gives you experience is on the battlefield.", Danielle explained. "A social situation with a Monarch is sometimes much more menacing than a dragon."
"Oh."
"But what did you got?", she was excited. He was like a living videogame. Even being a hero wasn't so estimulating as his powers.
"I received access to the 'Shop'."
"Open and see what you can have then."
"Wow.", he said after opening the Shop tab on his screen.
"I can't see so tell me.", she was anxious.
"Basic it has everything from Abilities to Items.", he said.
"See if there is any crystal converter to Shop currency.", she suggested.
"There is.", he said excited. "Even gives costs to items on my Inventory as well.", he started to see some of the items and sell them. "Oh my god."
"What?", she was maybe more excited than him.
"The crystals he gave me were a lot more expensive than the ones I needed."
"How much currency you have?"
"I only used one crystal."
"And?"
"It gave me a million credits on the Shop.", he said surprised.
"Tell me a parameter. This tells nothing yet."
"Crytal Magic is ten thousand credits.", he explained finally. "Oh my god."
"WHAT? STOP MAKING THIS FACE!"
"I can gift the Abilities to a party member.", he put the bag with crystals on the Inventory. "I'm sorry, Necro, but I'll return it as a favor on the future.", he converted the rest of the crystals.
"What are you thinking of doing with all of these credits?", she was trembling of excitement.
"I don't know yet.", he started to surf on the search engine of the system. "I found it."
"You're talking about the Hero Bless?", she asked.
"How...", he said it already. "Yes but it isn't for me."
"You'll leave everyone for this?"
"I found two other Abilities. Erase and Support Ejection.", he said.
"So with these three you can actually end all the relationships you build because of the system and return to Caroline."
"You sound like..."
"You're abandoning Azuria and Ethernium. That's what you are doing. So you can live with the one you love."
"This love you felt isn't yours. It's a thing made by the Ability."
"Are you sure?", she asked. "So why do you have so much troubles with Helen if the Heroine Attraction was made to her fall in love with you?", he couldn't answer. "Do what is best for you then. Open the portal. I'm leaving."
And so both went back to his room. She fastly grasped her things and started to go downstairs. He knew this was a bad place to happen. So he grabbed her arm and saw she crying. She pulled her arm and left.
"What happened?", his mother asked.
"She needed to resolve somethings.", he said while feeling bad inside. He didn't know what was that feeling.
"That's so bad. The dinner is ready.", and she went to the kitchen leaving him alone on the door.
"I'll accompany her.", and so he left. The night was cold and suddenly he felt the necessity of dodging. "What are you doing here, Helen?"
"On the school you were too conceited but now I have a full house as a hostage. Just die, Leonard."
<You used the Shop and bought the Abililty Hero Bless for yourself. Ten millions were removed from you credits.>
<The system is blocking the Ability Hero Bless. Ten millions were added to your credits.>
"Not going to say anything? That's fine by me.", she jumped with her greataxe.
<Heroine Attraction was activated.>
<Unarmed Combat was activated.>
<Marksmanship was activated.>
<Analyze was activated.>
<Angel's Halo was activated.>
<Shadow Manipulation was activated.>
<You used Minor Healing on yourself. Forest Blessing was activated.>
<You coated yourself on Telekinesis. Enhanced by metamagic.>
He stopped it with only his index finger and repelled with it.
"I don't have time.", as he grasped the air she was engulfed by shadows. "Be there for a while I have more important things to deal."
She struggled a little but then gave up. He while still on effect of the abilities went fastly to Danielle place. Arriving there he saw she and her friends in a party with some other people. His abilities went off and he sat on the floor looking at her by the window for a few minutes till he gave up and went back to his house.
<You achieved the Zone. 10 points will be added to all your stats.>
"And what about mine own feeling, huh?", he gave himself a bad smile.
The day passed. He stayed late on the bed. Neither of his parents went to hurry him. He knew that he needed to go to school yet. Another thing. He knew that he needed to save Ethernium yet. While being like that with Danielle.
4 hours for the demon attack.
"Three days to come up with another plan or to apologize to her.", he said to himself even tho he didn't find any guilt on his thoughts.
The door knocked.
"What?", he said.
"There is a girl I've never seen looking for you on the door.", her sister told him.
"What is she like?", he opened the Path to Glory and looked at the girls photos.
"A emo one.", she described.
"Oh.", he saw one that could match. "I'm going.", he was already tired of this kind of searching spells.
