Family Reunion (2)

"Hurry up, everyone's already in a capsule and waiting at the starting village"

Lennon's mum urged him to start, though there was an issue. Lennon wasn't at the starting village, he was quite far away in the Yoh Empire.

Luckily, there is a teleportation circle he could take, but the problem was that he didn't know which starting village it would be. He would make a new account if he could, but you can't do that in Tisit, you can only completely reset your account.

'The guy who runs this place will probably know'

"Yeah wait, I really need to go to the bathroom, I'll be back really quickly though"

Lennon quickly muttered to his mum, who was getting into a capsule, before dashing off.

"Hey dude, quick question, which starting village do we get placed in?"

"Huh? I'm pretty sure its Henard"

"Alright, thanks bye!"

Lennon rushed away as soon as he heard the name of the village, leaving the employee confused.

'What a weird dude'

The internet café had rows upon rows of capsules available, the ones that were closed meant they were in use. Lennon ran to a random one which was open, sat in and logged in. Then sprinted over to the nearest teleportation circle in the empire.

"Henard, please"

The guard glanced at his equipment and said.

"You seem a bit too high-level for that place, it's a good distance away as well so it'll cost you, do you really want to go there?"

"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me"

Lennon replied as he took off all his equipment, then equipped the beginner's clothes which had been rotting in his inventory.

"Okay, it'll cost you ten gold coins though"

"Here you go"

Lennon immediately handed over the coins and got into the teleportation position.

"Alright, we hope you visit again"

With that, Lennon disappeared.

"Look how much you've grown!"

"How are you so tall now?"

There was quite an unusual sight in the starting village of Henard. A big crowd of people of all different ages were chatting away. Saying stuff you would usually hear at a huge family gathering.

"I never thought we could've had everyone together again, the advancements of technology is truly fantastic"

"And we have to thank Josh for coming up with this idea!"

"That's right, you even make money playing this game?"

"Haha, yes, I play this game professionally"

When his parents were debating on how to get everyone together for a gathering, Josh had suggested that everyone could go to a internet cafe near them and gather through Tisit. Even he was surprised when the idea was approved, though he does feel pretty proud of himself.

Josh is a ranker part of the Chaos guild, which is a USA guild that is number ten on the guild leaderboard. Josh himself is ranked 86th on the leaderboard, being level 71. He possesses the Wizard class, which is fitting for his flashy blonde hair and handsome face. At this time, he saw a person jogging towards them.

'Ah, that's Lennon'

Josh had only met Lennon twice. The first time was when Lennon had a vacation in America, and being family, they had lunch together once. The other time was when Josh went to South Korea for the holidays, where their families had dinner together.

'He didn't really talk too much, I think he was just on his phone the entire time browsing through some random stuff. I tried to strike up a conversation but he just ignored me'

It was true that Lennon had ignored Josh, multiple times at that. But the reason was because Lennon was too shy. They had met when they were teenagers, and Lennon couldn't stand Josh's extroverted and cheerful personality.

"Okay, it seems that very has arrived! Welcome to Tisit everyone, I'm glad we can all be here today. We will be teleporting to the nearest kingdom, which is the kingdom of Epader, and we will be eating lunch there.

Josh had rented out an entire restaurant in the kingdom for a day for 10 gold coins. In order to have this reunion, he had to provide quite a sum of coins. The huge cohort moved towards the teleportation circle, and the guard stationed there was not very excited.

"Forty three people, all to the kingdom of Epader please"

Josh said to the guard, who was looking at him with an annoyed expression.

"That will be 10 silver coins each, so 430 silvers or 4 golds and 30 silvers"

"Here are 430 silvers"

"Alright, please tell them to gather around and so I can demonstrate the teleportation position"

"Everybody! Please look at this distinguished gentleman here! He will teach you what position you need to be in for teleportation"

Everyone was chatting amongst themselves as they gathered around the guard, who was quite flustered.

The family was quite excited as most of the people here were either middle-aged or quite old. Being able to move around freely again was one thing, but getting teleported to another place? That was a whole new experience.

The guard put his arms beside his body, head facing down and legs were as close to each other as possible. After that, everyone got onto the teleportation circle, did their best to mimic the guard and were sent off to Epader.

After being teleported, Josh took the lead.

"Okay, now everyone follow me, be sure to not separate from the group, and ignore the gazes"

The gazes Josh was referring to came from both passing NPCs and players. A huge group of people, which consisted of young children and old grandparents, is quite rare to see in Tisit.

–

'Ah, this is so borrrinnngg~'

Lennon thought as he followed the group to the restaurant. He remembers Josh as this kid who was way too overconfident and positive, he had hoped Josh would just let everyone do their own things. But now, he had to go along with others to this random restaurant, and he would be stuck with people he barely knew for a couple hours.

'I think I'll just sneak away or something'
