Chapter 2 - Xmas (1)

I eagerly tapped on the screen, and it began doing this 'zoom in' as it loaded the game. 

I was back on the home screen, and Lady Sherrit from the recent main quest appeared.

There were hints of her being a half-fox, but that would be her nature. The hints weren't that obvious, but the theories were there. 

She had straight jet-black hair with symmetrical bangs and a pair of twitching black ears on her head. 

Her half-lidded golden eyes looked as if they knew the secrets of the world. 

Dressed in the Cesar Academy's uniform, a black vest and skirt paired with thigh-high white socks and Mary Janes.

She posed with a hand on her cheek, a grin on her face. 

They changed her style, huh. 

I quickly tapped my calendar and opened the daily rewards. 

[ DAY 30 - SEASON 22 HAS BEEN CLAIMED! ]

[ 2K Gold Juans have been earned! ]

[ Potion of Misfortune III has been claimed! ]

I tapped on the 'X' and began to go on the quest I paused. It wasn't that related to the main quest, but I needed to farm lush beige bone seedlings. 

< continue quest? >

< y / n >

I tapped 'Y' and entered back in. I entered as Matt in his [ Farm Life ] skin, which gave some buffs when farming plants. 

"Sir , please... Please help me find the 'witch' who killed my mother!"

Oh, the NPC from earlier. Dubbed as 'Sad Villager', she had curly short brown hair and the ears and tail of a leopard. 

[ Of course, ma'am ]

[ With all due respect, this is a phoney. The police have already named this as a 'missing person' case! ]

[ Give me the rewards already! ]

[ I'm sorry, but I don't want to anymore... ]

I've been playing on this quest for 5 hours now, and the forum has been talking about the great rewards you get when you finish this quest. 

H0N3Y: You guys need to do this quest, it gives 12 lush beige bone seedlings, the thorns armour, and a modern mech for Suzie! 

But honestly? This was getting boring. 

[ server notice: Hey, do you hear that...? ]

Small bells began ringing from somewhere in the happy dance ambience. 

[ server notice: That's right. It's the ringing bells. You know what time it is? ]

Suddenly, snow began falling from the sky in the game, thankfully not piling on the map. 

I checked the world chat; the other players were bombarding it with happy words. 

>> YOO IT'S FINALLY HERE OMG

>> DEVS, I BETTER SEE A SERVER-WIDE XMAS BATTLE EVENT

>> Hey, you want to read spoilers on XXX? read here... :

>> Aww np!

I closed the world chat tab and instead entered my station, which was, in a way, a guild. There, the familiar sight of the super-furnished lobby greeted me. 

In each station, there was a max of 30 players in each one. I just so happened to be in an original station. 

Currently, I managed to level-up to 'Corporal', A senior field officer, someone who assists the Sergeant, and often acts as a mentor to new recruits. In Layman's terms, I'm the mentor for all newbies who recently got into my station.

I waited for my avatar to finish loading, silently watching the many other avatars roaming about. These accounts weren't being used, a message hovering over each one.

[ Be back soon! ] 

And even if they were being used, then this place was just where their avatars would wander- the lobby. Naturally, places like the , , and wouldn't allow them to leave the lobby. 

At last, a translucent white sphere appeared amongst the many avatars, highlighting my very own. 

A small character with half-lidded dark blue eyes with pupils resembling those of an asterisk. With beige-brown hair and some white wings flapping down slowly and gently. 

Before I knew it, I had a fond expression on my face. I based my character on a bird I once saw during a vacation in my childhood. I couldn't quite recall where we had our vacation during that period, but…

I remember asking Mama about that bird too much… After that, she lent me her phone and told me to look it up instead. I suppose she was too tired to answer me, after all, I was an energetic child when I was younger…

I shook my head, forgetting about those memories. I exited the lobby and tapped on the 'map' icon. A large map of all of my station's buildings and special places. Thankfully, our chief commissioner, STARL1GHT4EVER, remembered to finally name the places to avoid confusion…

Thank you, Deputy Commissioner! I expressed my happiness silently in my heart, browsing through the 5 parts we had. 

First, what about the ? I contemplated this thought. No, there are too many clients in the right now. I don't want to randomly get approached by NPCs.

Then, I thought about the . Offices were where major events are discussed, like Recurring Station Events, Special & Seasonal Events, Competitive & PvP Events. With this thought in mind, I tapped on the right side of the map.

Instantly, it quickly zoomed in, teleporting me to the .
