"Have you shared your little hobby, Aria?" Reylin asked with a wide smile.
They were back in their house, and Reylin stared at Aria with a joyful heart. He saw how Aria felt at home already, and it didn't seem like she would return back to her house any time soon.
Of course, Reylin also planned to have time with her in Aria's house.
That would be a fun experience before they settled on something more serious.
Aria chuckled, "I will need your help with it... It was the first time I saw your parents as a girlfriend, actually."
"I noticed it," Reylin nodded, and they both avoided mentioning William quite well.
The way Aria had conducted herself was pretty passive, but who wouldn't be careful on their first meeting with their beloved's parents?
Aria was known as well, so that side pleased both Crowns.
Crowns!
Aria also faced Crowns, the most influential and wealthiest people in their country. Their status was also known across the whole world.
Anyone would face a lot of stress before them, but Aria coped well, and she pleased everyone with her attitude.
Her talk with Reylin's mother also went smoothly, and it was set in stone that Aria would enjoy the Christmas Party as one of the Crowns.
Perhaps, it was too early for them, but neither felt like they would break up in the future like many couples often did.
That was why they enjoyed their relationship to the fullest right now.
"Let's order some food!"
"Yes!"
It looked like a movie evening today with no game in plans.
-
DING! DING! DING!
Reylin's phone rang out early in the morning.
It was way too early as it was still dark outside... Reylin barely opened his eyes, then promptly closed them as he turned those to his phone.
Holding Aria carefully, he yanked the phone from the table and looked at the caller.
It was his maid, Hania.
"It's 5 a.m..." he whispered.
Both Aria and Reylin's sleeping schedules often changed due to the game and their time together.
They had watched a movie up late, so Reylin spoke sluggishly.
Hania stuttered, "I-I've found a speaking Lion in the Burial Ground Dungeon!"
"You have a rise," Reylin sneered, and his eyes lit up in excitement.
His whole drowsiness faded away as flicker in his eyes bloomed.
Reylin's hand landed on Aria's cheek, and he squeezed it tightly, "Wake up. We are going to have some fun in the Burial Ground Dungeon."
Aria's eyelashes gently fluttered, then she looked at him with coquettish eyes, "Throw me my VR Helmet."
She rolled onto another pillow and stretched out.
Those curves and melons going up and down made Reylin as excited as ever.
However, Aria would never run away, contrary to a ghost lion!
He smiled and leaned for their equipment.
"I will give three hours for us... Then, we will return to real life," Aria whispered before putting her set.
She wouldn't dare to miss even a day on her daily routine, and she paid attention to it more than Reylin.
It would be eight a.m in three hours, so Reylin nodded.
He also wrapped his head in a VR Helmet, then dived into the new world.
In the Faynom World, both Aria and Reylin appeared in her office.
They promptly left the building and headed toward the dungeon.
No one stopped them due to Reylin's black nickname.
He was famous across Aria's guild members, and NPCs saw how many respected him. However, Reylin also had killed many mini-bosses with them as an audience... He was doing his best to help their situation.
What did it mean?
For many, it meant that Reylin wanted to atone for his sins.
They supported him on his path toward the ascended.
Many also believed he was just doing his job, and others had different thoughts.
All of them didn't stop the couple and greeted them.
After all, Reylin's deeds had helped them, unlike the ascended who were nowhere to be seen.
Reylin and Aria exercised before the dungeon by killing those mini-bosses.
A few NPCs saw them doing exactly that immediately in the morning!
They spread the news, and the couple's reputation rose higher.
"It's finally sunset... I was about to ask you to throw your legendary skill," Aria chuckled as they moved toward the dungeon while holding their hands.
Reylin peeked to the side, having both the sun and Aria's face in the same view, "You are one of those who need sun for energy? You couldn't have gotten luckier."
He conjured a flame around his finger and waved it before Aria.
She promptly leaned down and bit his finger, "Is that going to be your second most used quote after Crown one?"
Aria let his finger go and rolled her eyes.
"You are the same, though. Don't you always say how lucky I am to have you? Well, I am just more vocal," Reylin chuckled.
"Say? It's better to show than say... You do both, though," Aria grinned from ear to ear.
It would take some time to get to the dungeon, and it didn't seem like Aria was in a rush. Whether she believed in Hania or just wanted to have some fun with Reylin, she was sure that no one would be able to snatch her prey.
Of course, to enter the dungeon, one had to fulfill one prerequisite.
Aria was aware of it, but Reylin began using his flame artist's skills.
He used it on his token from the dungeon, which was his entry to the dungeon.
It was also a way to phase 2, whatever it was.
"It seems like I can't reproduce this token..." Reylin clicked his tongue after his plan failed.
Aria patted his back, then her eyes suddenly sharpened.
Reylin also looked ahead, "A fanboy? Whose fanboy you are?"
Before them, a man with dark skin stood.
He looked like an existence made out of a dark matter, but his eyes remained the most intelligent Reylin had seen so far. Those were red and quite beautiful, reminding anyone who saw this man of flames.
He wore pretty formal clothes and stood like the final boss.
Final boss, he indeed was.
Many mini-bosses surrounded him and listened to each of his commands. All those beasts locked their eyes on Reylin, leaving Aria alone.
She stood next to him, however, and nothing could elude her.
A man's eyes expanded, "The Queen wants you dead... A player can not die, and I can not leave our home for too long... I might as well just snatch your rune. You can not keep this power for too long."
He lifted his hand.
Subsequently, an unknown wave swept through the couple, and Reylin's rune popped out of his inventory.
He promptly grabbed that and put it back, "You are courting death, son."
"Son?" A man's eyes squinted in an instant, and he glared at Reylin as if the pyromaniac had cursed his whole generations.
Reylin spat, "Since you aren't a fanboy, I will just get rid of you."
If that man turned out to be Aria's admirer, Reylin would leave him in her hands.
If that man became his fanboy, Reylin would erase him from his path.
That man's appearance sullied the couple's mood, and Reylin also liked to show people that no one could bar his way or pester him!
Of course, those thoughts were half-joke.
After all, that man controlled mini-bosses.
Still, who said those dark matter guys couldn't be fanboys as well?
The recent event left many people thinking that those guys wanted to become closer with players.
It could be precisely one of those situations.
Reylin narrowed his eyes, "This man also reeks off as fuck. Normal flames should suffice, particularly because I have you by my side."
"Front is all mine," Aria declared with a smile, then her sword slowly left her sheath.
It flashed with its unique steel, then she leaned forward and jumped like a lion!
Her charge remained unstoppable, even in the face of many mini-bosses.
All of them had answered her charge with their own rush.
Fireballs was an answer from Aria's side!
Many of those slapped the mini-bosses away.
Nothing barred her away, so Aria's sword soon vibrated and let out her most lethal skill!
That threatened the man's life, and he felt goosebumps going across his body! He instantly summoned a dark flame sword and used it against Aria's slash!
At that time, Reylin's eye let out his scarlet flames.
He could use his flames in his eyesight reach, so he summoned three flamethrowers around his girlfriend and her opponent.
His flames would never hurt Aria, so the dark man was the target!
Alas, that guy also had an answer to Reylin's flames.
His body lit up in dark flames, and he made flame armor.
His handsome face disappeared beneath the helmet, then he withstood Reylin's flame deluge effortlessly.
He swung his flame sword at that time, promptly kicking Aria away.
"Your flames tickle," his helmet opened, revealing his sneering face.
"Tickle, you said?" Reylin lifted his hand as his eyes widely opened.
