Chapter 8.1 - Tribute To The God (1/2)
“What is the Village of Fate? I thought you won some sweepstakes.”
My mother is saying something but I am not paying attention to it all.
My mind is in utter confusion and panic.
Is Village of Fate??? That Village of Fate? Did I just receive a gift from the game world?
No, no, no! It’s stupid and impossible.
If you think logically, it should be something from the company that produced the game Village of Fate. Maybe a reference material or manual which they have missed.
“Pinch me.”
“What are you talking about? Oh, it’s a fruit but it has a strange shape. It looks like a pear but its color is like an apple. I’ve never seen such a fruit.”
The mother opens the cardboard and take out its content without permission.
What she was holding in her hand was exactly like the fruit I saw in the game.
“You are kidding me……”
“Did you win a special price somewhere? You can eat this after dinner.”
“….Yeah”
My mother gave me the mysterious fruit and disappeared into the kitchen swiftly.
I stared at the fruit in my hand.
It’s not fake and is certainly a fruit.
It smells nice when I smell it. I feels like an apple with smell of citrus mixed in it.
[ TL: Its the Citrus acid found in the Oranges and Lemons. Most probably. ]
“Is it some new kind of genetically engineered apple ?”
I tried to find a reasonable explanation but nothing was able to convince me.
