Logging Off

"Teacher… how do the natives of this world get married?" Zen, who was still looking at the system's worldwide announcement, absentmindedly asked.

Arthur frowned in confusion when he heard this. He looked at Zen and saw that he was still laying on the ground with burnt clothes.

'That's the first thing he thought of right now? Isn't he supposed to be comprehending the skill?' Arthur found it strange but thinking that Zen had been strange from the start, he shrugged and said, "The Temple of Love is the only temple that oversees marriage and other ceremonies that had anything to do with love."

Arthur saw Zen look at him. He sighed and explained, "Well, I don't really know anything about that temple. However, they had never participated in any kind of war. They proclaimed themselves as pacifists and believed that violence is unjustifiable."

Then, Arthur thought for a moment before continuing, "One thing that's interesting about them is the fact that they are one of the few temples who produced a god-level entity. They don't have any weapon arts or remarkable magic spells, but they are still able to amass a large number of believers."

"Anyways, that's about it. Why do you ask?"

"Nothing serious, it's just that there's a system announcement about an otherworlder couple, who had been the first to get married…"

Hearing this, Arthur's eyes constricted.

Zen noticed Arthur's reaction and asked, "Why teacher? Is there something wrong?"

Arthur shook his head and said, "To be able to get married in the Temple of Love… is quite amazing. I wonder who that couple is…"

Zen tilted his head and waited for Arthur to explain.

"If a couple gets married in the temple of love, then that means that the God of Love approves of their love and is willing to reward them… It also meant that they got through the trials before the marriage, making even the God of Love amazed…"

"Trials?"

Arthur shook his head, "I don't know what trials they encountered. But one thing's for sure, that couple isn't simple."

Zen wanted to ask further but he noticed the sun was about to set.

"Teacher, I need to go now."

Arthur chucked some clothes at Zen and said, "Are you an exhibitionist? You really like being naked, huh? Here, dress up. I don't want you suddenly appearing in front of me without wearing clothes, I don't have any interest in men."

Zen caught the clothes and couldn't defend himself from Arthur's insults.

'It's because of the flames! They keep burning my clothes!' He felt wronged deep inside and had no choice but to log off to escape the embarrassment.

Of course, he wore the clothes first before logging off.

Click!

"Phew."

Zen sighed as he placed the gaming helmet on the bedside table.

Looking at the gaming helmet, Zen thought about the things he did and gained from the game and couldn't help but grin.

Puff!

He raised his index finger and a fire lit up just slightly above it.

'Finally…' Zen thought in excitement. 'I finally have powers that I can use to show off!' He wiped an imaginary tear of joy from his eye.

After playing with the fire for a while, he stood up and looked out the window.

Since he was exhausted last night, he didn't have the time to thoroughly inspect the room.

The only reason why he and Sera fought over it was because it seemed to be the biggest of the four.

Now that he had the mental capacity to do it, Zen noticed how large the room really was. It was simply furnished but it had all the necessities.

A study table with a lamp on it, wardrobes, closets and drawers to store various things.

There's even a rocking chair in front of the big window with a table beside it.

But what really caught Zen's attention was the big window and the view outside it.

Since they arrived in the evening, he really hadn't noticed the view outside the window since it was dark.

But now, Zen could see the clouds outside.

Chik—

He slid the window open, greeted by the taste of wind, making him feel slightly moist because of the cloud.

Hmmmm— Hahhh~

Zen took a deep breath, he felt calm in the sight of such a peaceful view.

"However, the best part of this room is…" Zen jumped slightly, landing on the big, soft comfy bed at the center of the room.

Knock! Knock!

"Brother! Are you awake?"

Sera's voice sounded outside the door.

Zen, who was enjoying his comfy bed, answered, "I am!"

"Mom and dad's calling us for breakfast!"

Hearing this, Zen looked at the wall clock and saw that it was already close to 9 am.

"Coming!" He answered before standing up.

He quickly made his bed and closed the window to prevent his room from being wet from the humidity of the clouds.

Then, he exited the room.

Sera and Zen walked together downstairs.

"Did you also have a gaming device in your room?" Zen asked.

"Yes, mom and dad said that aunt Margareth specifically prepared those for us." Sera answered while yawning.

Zen also yawned, infected by his sister.

Soon enough, the siblings arrived at the living room.

Ren and Rina, who seemed to be talking about something, noticed their children.

Ren asked smilingly, "Did you guys have a good night's sleep?"

The siblings both flinched. Zen answered, "Yes dad."

Sera also nodded and agreed with her brother.

"I bet that they only entered the game last night instead of sleeping, hehe~" Rina laughed teasingly.

"Is your mother right?"

The siblings looked at each other before nodding.

Ren and Rina giggled as they looked at their embarrassed children. They had never been a good liar, after all.

At this moment, Sera changed the topic, "Oh right, there's also a worldwide announcement in the game just before I logged off."

Zen asked, "Oh, about the players who got married?"

At this moment, it was Ren and Rina who flinched.

Ren coughed and said, "That's enough talking about the game. Let's go and meet with you aunt."

Sera obediently followed, while Zen, who saw their parents flinch earlier, squinted his eyes in interest as a grin appeared on the corner of his lips.
