Chapter 197: Reincarnation Problem (1/2)

”Saint Realm? What? No,” Emily said. She was a little exasperated from the absurd guess. ”No, I- I actually just died in the game after I reached True realm. I am starting once more, but it's hard since like everyone, I don't have the same talents as my previous self. They are all mortal grade now,” Emily said.

”Oh. That sounds quite unfortunate. Would you mind telling me how you died?” he asked.

”Um… I was out on a mission from the sect, a-and I was attacked by a monster who caught me by surprise. I was logged out before I even realized I had died,” she said. ”After that, the next time I joined, I was made to create a new character and sent elsewhere in the same continent, and that was about a week ago.”

”Since I'm not as good as before, I can't earn much money from the game,” she said.

”I see.” He then thought of something and asked,” by the way, what time do your classes end?”

”Around 3 pm,” Emily said.

”Oh, the same as me. Would you walk the way back with me as well? I would rather not walk back alone,” Alex said.

”S-Sure. I can do that,” Emily said timidly.

”Would you mind adding your number to my phone?” Alex took out his phone and asked.

”Of course not,” Emily said and timidly took the phone from him and added her number onto his name. She then looked at the clock and said, ”umm… My classes are this way. I should hurry up now.”

”Oh, my classes are that way. Thank you for showing me the way today,” Alex said.

”It was nothing. Don't worry about it. See you later,” Emily said and walked towards her classes.

Alex was left standing there feeling something deep within him make him feel weird. ”Am I?… no way.” He walked to his class.

After the classes were over, he messaged Emily for a place to meet, and together they walked back home. Alex walked a little further to take her to her apartment and returned back to his own.

He got up the elevator to his apartment and entered.

”Oh, you're back already? What time is it?” Hannah was in the living room using her phone.

”It's half past 3. What are you doing sister?” he asked.

”Oh, just browsing the EC forums, looking through the responses to the interview yesterday. Hehe, look at this, so many people are calling me cute and pretty. I might just have to go become a model at this rate,” Hannah said jokingly.

”Go change your clothes. I'll prepare some food,” Hannah said.

”Alright, sister.” Alex went to his room and freshened up. He walked to the kitchen to see Hannah shaking her head as if she had just read something very sad.

”What's the wrong sister?” he asked.
