Second Tattoo

Watching Jasmine, Tess, and Ms. Ren as they ate he decided to ask for his moms phone as he dosnt know where his went.

"Mom can i borrow your phone?" He asked.

Seeing her stop eating so she could answer him he waited till she had swallowed the food in her mouth.

"Where's yours?" Jasmine asked as she thought he had it.

"Not sure, probably still at home on my bed." He said thinking he grabed it but he might of left it on his bed because he did plan to stay home sick.

Takeing out her phone and handing it to her son, Jasmine started to eat again. After receiving the phone he turned it on only to see a lock screen. Turning the phone around to face her, he waited for her to notice.

Jasmine was already looking at her son so she noticed almost immediately that he had her phone faceing her and there was a lock screen on it. Sighing before saying the combination, she went back to eating while thinking how stupid the lock screen was. Since the people at work like to meddle in others business, she needed one just to be safe.

Looking online to see the latest news about Abandoned Kingdom's Online he could see nothing new about the Elixer but it did say the gargoyle shacked up in a abandoned cemetery.

Well it technically it isnt abandoned since its crawling with the undead but people are saying the gargoyle petrified them and is useing them as lawn ornaments.

Takeing a look at a few other things that looked interesting he didnt notice the others had returned and were looking at him expectantly.

Only after looking up when he didnt find anything all to interesting did he notice Brooke, Trish, and Emilia stareing at him while sitting in their seats again.

Smileing at them he looked over to Kana, only to see her looking at her phone. Looking back at Jasmine's phone he could see it was a little after 5 so he decided to chat with everyone before they had to go to school.

As they talked he learned they all made it to level 2 and their crafting class has also seen a increase from what he understood. On top of talking about these things he also learned of a group of players killing around the capital.

The golem's and guard presence was abundent in the capital and has deterred the assailents from trying anything but it would seem right outside the capital was free game.

Their conversation was brought to a hault when Kana stood up and grabed her bag off the back of her chair sudenly. Brooke, Trish, and Emilia all looked up to see it was time to go so they also stood up and grabed their bags before they followed Kana to the front door.

Watching them leave he decided to get up and walk to the door as well. Enduring the small amounts of pain he made his way to the door and caught them before they left.

Takeing Emilia's hand he brought her into a hug and kissed her on the top of her head.

Trish after seeing this must of also wanted a kiss because as soon as he let Emilia go she almost jumped on him and kissed him on the lips.

When Trish finally let him go he looked over to see Brooke standing there just looking at him. Takeing a few steps to get closer to her he gave her a small kiss on the cheek before backing off a little. As he looked at her he could see her blush a little before turning around and walking to the door.

Watching them walk out the door and walking to the bus stop he noticed they were all chatting but didnt know what it was about.

Turning around he could see Jasmine,Tess and Ms.Ren putting on some sweatshirts. Looking down to his bear chest he remembered he dosnt have any clothing on him or a jacket.

Thinking for a second he decided it wouldnt be that big a problem as they were only a short drive from their destination so he could endure it till he gets home.

After the three were done putting on their sweatshirts and grabing their purses, they walked out to their vehicles.

Steping out of the house to follow his mom the hair on his arms started to stand on end. The cold air was definitely getting colder by the day so he would need to find his sweatshirt or get a new one very soon.

Following his mom to her car, he got in and waited for her to start it up so he could turn on the heat.

The drive home was quite since he didnt really want to talk so he played music instead. Tess followed them so his mom and her could ride together to the mall.

Once they arived at home, he got out and said bye to his mom before makeing his way to the door. However before he could make it far he could feel someone hugging him from behind.

The hug didnt last for long and he had a good idea of who was hugging him but just to make sure he decided to check. As he turned around to see who it was, He could see a pair of key's dangling infront of him.

"I think you will be needing these to get in." Jasmine said holding up her key's.

"Dont worry about leaving the door unlocked I will use the spare key when i get home." Takeing the keys from his mom he could hear her speak.

Watching her walk over to Tess's car so they could leave, He didnt leave were he stood till they drove off.

Turning around and walking inside after unlocking the door he decided to take a shower before heading upstairs to play Abandoned Kingdom's Online.

Locking the front door and heading to the bathroom, he turned on the water before striping and hopping in.

Although the water felt realy good on his body he decided not to take long. Wanting to play and get to the capital was like a itch he just couldnt scratch.

After getting out of the shower he dried off and went up stairs to put on a shirt, boxers, and some shorts.

As he was about to lay down on his bed to log in he could see a light on his phone was flashing. 'So thats were i left it.' He thought to himself as he picked it up to look at who messaged him.

Smileing when he could see it was from Elizabeth, he opened up their chat and typed to her.

Ryan [Hey, sorry i didnt reply till now. I stayed home because I was experiencing some pain in my chest and only picked up my phone now.]

Sending her the message that sort of explained what was going on he pluged his phone in and put it down on his desk. About to walk away from his phone, it buzzed signifying he got a reply. Picking up his phone and sitting in his chair he looked at the message.

Elizabeth [Are you ok?]

Ryan [I'm fine now. Thanks for asking.]

Elizabeth [Ryan, will you be free after school to talk over the phone?]

Ryan [Is something wrong?]

Elizabeth [No! it's just that I want to hear your voice is all.]

Ryan [Sure. I'll call you after school let's out for the day.]

Elizabeth [Okay. I have to get back to class so I'll talk to you then.]

Shakeing his head at the fact she steped out of class to message him, he got up and walked over to his bed and lyed down before putting his headset on and logging in.

Logging in to the feeling of a empty bed he wondered where Rachel and Rianna went. Opening his eyes and sitting up he looked around and could see a empty room.

Getting up off the bed before heading to the bathroom to wash off and get changed into some fresh clothes. He took some time to think of what to do first as the water rained down over him.

'I still need to creat my contract with Nightmare. Then I also need to stop by to see if there is any good supplys I should pick up. We need to head to the capital and make gear with the Echo bat teeth as well.' He thought to himself before remembering Kanas words.

'Then again I could probably skip the supply run for now so we can leave for the capital as soon as possible.' He considered as he didnt really need anything urgently anyways.

Getting out from under the water to dry off before getting dressed. He could hear voices comeing from the room. Getting dressed quickly and walking out of the bathroom he could see that Rachel and Rianna had returned and were sitting on the bed.

As soon as Rachel could see him she got up and walked over. Takeing his shirt and lifting it she looked at his body and examined it as if looking for something. When she finally looked at his back she sighed in releif

"Thank goodness it appeared without issue." Rachel said makeing him confused.

"What are you talking about?" He asked.

"Fraya said if the tattoo dosnt appear then your life could be in danger. She said the tattoo is the manifestation of mana that would be too abundant to be contained in your body." Hearing her he wondered what she was talking about. Did he also get a tattoo in game?

"I have a tattoo?" He asked wanting to know about it.

"It's a beautiful white rose surrounded by light blue petals." Rachel said as she traced her fingers over his tattoo almost like she was in a trance.

Hearing Rachel his mind was all over the place. Both his body and his game body have the same tattoo? Dose this mean something or is it just a coincidence?

"Dont worry Silver, the tattoo just signifies how you are a member of the Fraya's faction. Thats what she told us when she showed up saying she forgot to mention it." Rianna said hopeing to clear up the situation a little.

"Well thats nice of her to tell us after the fact." He said a little iritated as that tattoo has put him through great pain.
