"Whoa, she vanished." Mio blinked, amazed, before she sadly pouted. "But I'll have to wait for a year to enter the game."
"The government will start collecting kids above 12 and below the age of 16 and enroll them into special academies to prepare them for when they turn 16 to enter the game." Axir rubbed her cheek and smiled. "However, I don't want you going there, so we will be moving to a new place where no government can find us."
"Eh? But why?" Mio tilted her head, confused about this.
"Because you can't trust people blindly. And once you enter their radar, it will be hard to leave. Don't worry, you will train under way better teachers than those fools." Axir grinned.
Mio's eyes sparkled. "Brother, what else you got? Can you show me some stuff?"
"Sure, but not before you start packing. Let's finish packing and preparing before Aunt Kira returns. I have to make a ride."
"Ride?"
"Yeah, we will be flying away, so I need to make a ride. You start packing, just clothes and nothing else. I'll be back within five minutes."
Axir left through the balcony again. They were living in a quiet neighbourhood with houses, and Aunt Kira's car was there in the parking.
'This is good.'
Axir took out his sword.
Cleave!
Swosh!
A clean horizontal cut.
The hood didn't even move.
Axir grabbed it and put it on the side, making the sedan into an open car without a roof.
Then, he sat in the backseat with his Rocket Wing on and used it.
Brrrrrr!!
The car's backseat melted with the precision of the flame output, and soon, there was an oval hole.
'Done.'
After twenty minutes, Aunt Kira returned and shocked both Axir and Mio.
"M-Mom?!"
Aunt Kira had tweaked her appearance inside the game when creating her character, which also changed it permanently in reality.
She made her hair white, and from being in her mid-forties, she turned into her mid-thirties with no wrinkles and a moderately fine figure.
"Well, congrats." Axir wryly smiled. "Now let's get onto our ride. It's time to go."
He told both of them to sit in the driver's and passenger seats while he stood in the back and grabbed both windows.
"Ready? We are taking off."
Some people were poking their heads out of the windows, but only a few who didn't enter the game to be with their kids.
"Woohoo! Let's go!" Mio was excited about flying in a car.
Axir chugged a Mana potion he got from a Tier-2 Assorted Potion Box.
This potion increased his maximum Mana capacity by 30% and Mana recovery by 100% for one hour. This would sustain the flight till the first checkpoint.
"Mommy, that car is flying."
"Yes…"
Axir took his aunt and Mio to a luxurious 7-star hotel in Tokyo.
And he paid with pure gold because the gold coins earned inside the game could also be taken out, and it was top-quality gold.
A single gold coin weighed 10 grams, and Axir had over 6k gold coins, so he was loaded.
He also converted gold into money at the hotel and gave money equivalent to $10,000 to Mio.
"Now, listen. This is our temporary stay. I am taking Aunt with me to play the game, but we will return after eight hours because people can only play the game for twelve hours a day. You can spend this money to order food or anything you want and have fun until then, alright?"
Mio's eyes were shining. "Okie, dokie!"
"It's amazing that you can earn money from the game, and it's gold coins…" Aunt Kira wryly smiled. "The game is going to change the world drastically."
"Yep, and we have to be prepared for it, so let's go. I am also in the village, so let's meet at the village entrance. From there, we will go to a dungeon."
"Alright."
And so, Axir and Aunt Kira vanished.
Mio jumped on the king-sized bed and grabbed the phone before she began ordering food, booking a spa massage, pedicure, and manicure appointment in this hotel that provided all such facilities.
…
Meanwhile, Axir met up with Aunt Kira and then grabbed her hand before flying towards the dungeon.
"It's that number one player!"
"Holy shit, who is that babe with him?!"
"Mommy!"
"Are you courting death, dumbass?"
As the duo flew, Aunt Kira curiously asked. "I saw many people talk about you, and you are actually the number one player on the whole Earth?"
Axir grinned. "That's correct."
"That's amazing, son. I didn't know you were that good at gaming."
"Haha, I am good at everything, Aunt. Don't worry, I'll also help you become strong. Since the world will change due to this game, we have to reach the top bracket."
Aunt Kira smiled. "You were always a hard worker and ambitious, so I'm sure you'll succeed."
"Oh yeah, I have to tell you something. We will be meeting up with my team. I also have a girlfriend now, the girl from my class I told you about."
"Selena, right?" Aunt Kira chuckled. "So you finally started dating her. Good. Took you three months of being friends."
"Haha, yeah. But it was worth it."
Axir's eyes glinted coldly. 'Very much worth it in this life.'
…
Since Axir had already found this normal dungeon first with Selena, they had already gotten the dungeon finding reward, which was 100 gold. They both got 50 each since they were together.
Axir didn't care about the reward of finding a normal dungeon, but it was important that he find as many elite and higher dungeons as possible because they give bonus stat point rewards, and other additional rewards.
"I guess we are not late." Axir landed before the entrance of the dungeon while facing the opposite direction.
They were at the base of a mountain with lush greenery all around and a clear pathway.
Selena and others were on the way, just half a kilometer away.
They were dashing and leaping.
"Man, you're already here." Yuta landed a few meters away from Axir. "Flying must be damn nice."
The others also arrived.
"Everyone, meet my aunt Kira. She will be joining us from now on."
Selena approached her with a smile and greeted her.
"You must be my boy's girlfriend, Selena." Kira grabbed her hands as she smiled. "He is a sweet boy, so please take care of him."
"Of course, Aunt Kira. He is the sweetest." Selena chuckled and looked at Axir.
After talking for a minute, the group entered the dungeon.
