Chapter 309 - 262 : Capsule (1/2)

The next day, the family was peacefully eating breakfast. Unlike yesterday, Miya was present, nonetheless, she was still flustered. It was apparent that she's not acting like her usual calm self, after all, Arthur was present.

Honestly, Arthur didn't know why this girl is so scared of him, it's not like he tortured her or did something to her that resulted in a big trauma.

Lucy comforted him saying that Miya is just one of those girls who isn't good with strangers. However, that still didn't explain this problem since she's quite popular on Earth. She's known as a Goddess and often deals with strangers.

Saly and Lolitta, who already ate, were watching the hot news about the famous VRMMO that never ceased increasing in popularity. The AI human silently watched the tournament displayed on the screen then furrowed her brows when they showed some famous places of the games.

After a few more minutes passed and seeing more pictures, the girl frowned and said

”I know this place!”

Since she uttered those words with a very loud tone, she grabbed the attention of everyone present. She still didn't care and pointed at the TV while staring at Arthur

”This is without a doubt the Westia Continent!”

Upon hearing this, Arthur was going to ignore her as she usually speaks nonsense but as he saw her totally serious expression, he glanced at the tv to the check the pictures.

His pupils contracted as his eyes landed on the gloomy and rainy forest displayed on the large TV. He didn't go sightseeing in the forgotten continent but the forest is undoubtedly the one at the center of the continent, it looked exactly similar to the in his memories, in fact, it's its copy.

Unlike his nonchalant attitude, he seriously watched the TV and inspected the shown pictures and indeed, as Lolitta said, some of the places match the ones from his memories.

The question is 'how?', this is just a game and blaming it all on coincidence is illogical, after all, it's not one place but multiple ones.

”What's the name of this game?”

Lucy replied almost instantaneously:

”Hell Gate. A famous VRMMO with many players.”

”Is there only one continent in the game?”

”Only one.”

Although she may not look like it, Lucy likes games a lot. Unfortunately, with Arthur gone and the urge to get stronger, Lucy didn't have the time to play but she still did enough research and browsed the internet when she had a bit of free time.

'What's happening?'

Arthur question was directed to the most knowledgeable person amongst them, his copy.

”I'm not sure too. There may be an unknown portal between Astria and Earth but this is just speculation and the probability of it being true is extremely low. Perhaps an Earthling managed to find records about the Westia continent...*sigh* I really don't know but it's definitely something simple.”

Arthur pondered for a few seconds before he asked:

”Do you have the gaming helmet here? I want to try something.”

Although she didn't know what he's on about, Saly nodded and brought her helmet to her father. Arthur inspected it and after finding nothing strange about it proceeded into putting it on, however, the second it was turned on Lolitta and the copy both exclaimed

”It's a low-grade System capsule!”

”Be careful, there's a hidden System Capsule.”

”A capsule?”

The little girl unceremoniously grabbed the helmet from his head and proceeded into the short explanation:

”It's a mass-produced capsule that the System gives to low-budget soldiers, it grants them a temporary System. Usually, it's only used on non-living things because if it malfunctions, it roasts the brain of the user.”
