1626 Words
"Where's your Mom?" she asked,
"She just bought food at the groceries because she found out you are here."
Sky slightly chuckled.
It took a while before he left her presence, but when he finally did, he looked up and his face broke into a smile that melted her heart.
"Hey, " he said.
"I made your favorite, scrambled egg with spring onion and fried rice."
"Can't wait to try," she said and skipped towards him. She planted a kiss on his cheek, and they sat dawn.
"Well, I know how to cook fried food," he said, chuckling.
"I didn't know you could cook," she tastes one out.
"Yum!" she was surprised because it was delicious.
"Well, I'm chef Sky," he said, and they both chuckled. They ate together with a pinch of a smile on their lips.
Sky turned on the TV in their dining room. News immediately comes out. Sky immediately noticed that the news topic was familiar.
"Hey, Sky, you look surprised?" Winter asked.
"That was the game we are talking about," Sky pointed his index finger to TV.
"That was a Reborn battle." He explains to her.
Winter chews a fried egg on her mouth and looks at the screen.
"Uh? That was cool" she said.
Sky wonder, this game was previously banned and deleted, and now the government is even promoting it for people to play with? It seems strange.
"We can start after eating." Sky suggested.
"Sure,"
Sky looked at Winter and she was wearing his shirt and shorts. She's too cute to wear that, but it's perfectly beautiful with her.
"How was your night?" Sky suddenly asked.
"That was the best sleep ever," Winter answered.
A smile flashed across Sky's lips. They are about to finish eating breakfast.
"Okay, let's play your game."
Sky was happy about her enthusiasm because he had come up with a good plan to prevent his equipment in the game from being recalled. They entered Sky's room and went straight to his PC.
The game was developed for action and excitement. It was built by many obstacles and challenges one of the most difficult of them is the emergence of strange monsters.
The main goal of the players here is the big prize worth billions.
Sky opened the PC, a sudden light of the computer enveloped the entire room.
"Hey, is that normal?" Winter asked.
He was even surprised by what happened because that light was so strong. He had to trust because it helped him go back to the past.
"What's happening?" She asked.
A strong power enveloped the room, Winter could not help but cling to him.
A green light appeared on the screen of his PC. Green light deflected by a rotating hologram into their body.

[Welcome to the reborn battle]
"This is amazing!" Winter shocked,
as she noticed that there was a box on their side, even if it wasn't there before.
"What is that?" she asked, pointing her index finger to that box.
He looked at the box it pointed to. He did not remember that he had such a box before, the box was big, besides it was not there last night.
"I don't remember that box," he said, walking over to the box Lowering his eyebrow then he opened it. They were still having a hard time because it was well wrapped.
"What is that?" she asked again.
Sky released the contents of the box. It is a metallic gear. The design was futuristic, It's as if something is attached to it and also has a wire in the back plug.
Thalamus gear reads and sends information to the brain. It serves to read and transform into brain pulse commands within the virtual world and to send pulses to the brain in order to emulate sensation and perception.
"A gear," he replied.
"What is that for?" she asked, confusing.
"Wait, hmm, there seems to be
something strange," he answered, out of curiosity.
It was not just one, it was two headgear. He approached the box again and saw a paper and they read it together.
------------------ -------------------
Welcome players.
If you read this, you are both selected players in Reborn battle.
Players need to put the Thalamus gear to connect and played the game.
The prize is waiting, and battle is about to begin.
------------------- -------------------
They both looked at each other, Sky suddenly remembered the game. He quickly picked up the gear and looked at its small outlet. He looked at the system unit right in its outlet.
Sky was rapidly thinking of what to do. He felt that the Reborn battle sent the box with strange gear. He feels this is one of the reason he is back in the past. There was nothing like this in this game before, only now has he seen it.
The game was set in a virtual reality game. In virtual reality, there were several regions with several races. Overtime, each of them can change their name if they want, Eighteen to thirty-five required ages. The land stabilized and there were only five races, the Monster, the Tarrant, the Demons, the elves, and the other players which could interfere with their plan. Technologists can still work on smell and tastes, making it even more realistic.
Evil different monsters threatened their peace and wanted to occupy their land.
The pain they feel caused by fighting is just an illusion. The creator is out of this world, he engaged the player into a modern world.
Sky made Winter sit in his gaming chair and explained to her each by each how to play the game. Winter who was paying rapt attention realizes the games were a lot more complex than she initially thought. She smiled, understanding what Sky was explaining to her. Now she understands why so many people addicted to this game, some of her friends included.
"You ready?" Sky asked.
She nodded, she was a little nervous, but her desire to accompany him to the game prevailed. Sky took a seat first and then put it on their thalamus gear.
They no longer need to log in because the computer itself scans them. Once they enter the start, there's no turning back. The game assured no one will die in the real world after dying in the virtual world, After dying in the virtual world you will be eliminated. There is no turning back, one chance only.
"Uh, isn't that dangerous?" Winter asked.
"No, I will not let that happen to you,"
"What if I die in that game?"
"Winter, Trust in me, I will die before letting that happen. Okay?"
"Hmm, please, don't say that." Winter hugged him tight.
Sky smiled, that woman beside him was the reason he came back, and his other friends.
"Winter, I'm already dead...in the feature" Sky said hoarsely.
"What?"
"There's a chance I won't be able to come back..."
"Don't say that Sky, it's not funny!"
He did not know if he was still alive in the future or not. He also did not know if his stay at his young age was only temporary.
"Okay, okay," he forced to smile.
"You're ready to play?"
"Yeah,"
"Okay, hold my hand."
"Wait, let's enter the game together." Winter suggested, they smiled before pressing the play button.
Suddenly a voltage of electricity flows through their brain and slows down its control. They do not feel any pain, the surrounding darkness sucked them into a fascinating place. Until their bodies were left in the real world, and their minds were carried away by the virtual world.
In this game, every 12 hours is spent playing the virtual game equivalent of 1 hour in the real world. They can return to the real world after spending 12 hours in the game. 12 hours of spending in the game is enough. the hologram will automatically appear when they can return to the real world. By choosing the option, go back and continue.
They both landed on a vast expanse of green grass. That's also what they were wearing when they got there, they couldn't believe what they saw because that place was so beautiful. Suddenly a holographic system appeared in front of the two of them.
There are a few big trees here. the gleaning of the purple leaves reflect to her flashing eyes.
There are many clothing options lined up with holograms. Some are built in pure metal, some are made of pure gold also with weapons, what level they are, and what power they have.
Winter was shocked. She accidentally pressed the beautiful garments, designed for battles. Gradually she lost her dress, she covered her breast as her dress gradually disappeared, Sky saw it, who turned his face to left, but also looked when Winter's whole body lit.
It seemed like it was destined for her.
A few moments after the light that enveloped Winter's body vanished, her blond hair turned light blue. She frequently wears a yellow dress with metallic gradbrace in her arms, and dark metallic boots.
A combination of nature and ice.
Sky was surprised by what he saw. The woman in front of him is so beautiful, she looks like a princess fighter.
Winter looked and checked his clothes, as she was amazed at what she saw.
"You look more beautiful," Sky greeted her with a smile.
It was slightly embarrassing for Winter.
"Thank you, your turn."
Sky also changed his clothes. It was replaced by an armored suit. His masculine body came out. They both found out their equipment on the battlefields. Winter has a long strong chain, while Sky has a long sharp sword. They can use it to protect themselves from the enemy.
