~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: The Palace in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:21 AM)~~~

There's a translucent screen floating in front of me with numbers, descriptions, my class, an assortment of stats. "What was that Announcement? Why was I able to hear that?" I have so many questions, and as I lift my head to look at Cera. He and Hailey are sharing a concerned look. My intuition is telling me I've become like them.

We were all in a meeting hall, and we were discussing what to do next. "That's a Player Interface. It shows you everything you need to know about yourself. Your gear, your stats, your skills, health, mana. It's what I have and the rest of my family." Wow… So this is what he was talking about when he said that players are different. 

As I'm going through the information in my… Player Interface… I notice that I have a lot of unused stat points. "Mind explaining what the stat points do? Cause I have a lot of them. 120 of them, to be exact." I know I've gotten stronger over the course of my time with Cera, but this must be a numerical value placed on that progress.

Cera steps closer to me and takes a breath. "Stat points are a form of currency to upgrade your stats. You've probably noticed the Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Speed, and Focus tabs. You spend your stat point to raise those values, and the corresponding stat will rise." That's… Now it's obvious how Players gain power so fast…

My level is 152, and I can't help smiling at the large number. My attention falls on the EXP bar, and my curiosity gets the better of me. "How does the EXP work? What does it do?" Cera has a hard time finding the right words to explain it. If this is how difficult it is to explain to me, then it must be a complicated part of being a Player.

He sighs and closes his eyes, and folds his arms. Taking a moment to gather his thoughts. "EXP is the process of killing monsters and enemies and getting progress on said bar. Once you hit 100 percent on the EXP bar, you'll get 5 stat points to spend. Since I hold a Divine Class, I get 10 stat points to spend." So he gains twice the power anyone else does?

This answers many questions I've had about Cera and his fellow Players. Now that I'm a part of it, I get to be like them. "Since you're a Player now, that means even when and if you die, you'll respawn at the nearest Cathedral of Resurrection. They appeared when we came to this world permanently." Yeah, a bunch of Cathedrals came out of the ground pretty much everywhere.

This all happened before I met Cera… The Players are at the center of a lot of mysteries… "So… That means I can help you on your most dangerous quests? I can stop being a liability!!" This is awesome. Violet Adamo, Cera and Hailey's mother, giggles at my reaction. "So you've lived like this the entire time?" I knew about him being able to respawn, but I didn't realize the extent of everything he can do using this System and Player Interface.

~~~(Time: 11:23 AM)~~~

Sally is beyond excited about being like Hailey and me, and I'm excited for her. I'm a little worried at the same time. While she can join me on my quests now, that also means she will be a bit more reckless. "I don't want you forgetting about being safe, Sally. Just because you can't stay dead doesn't mean there isn't a penalty." She looks at me in confusion.

When Players are killed, they lose a level, and the corresponding amount of stats gained from that level loss. If she were to die right now, she'd lose a level and lose 5 stat points. "When you die, you'll lose a level and 5 stat points as punishment. Setting your progress back." She doesn't like the sound of that, but it can be avoided. All you have to do is not die.

She touches the screen, and it disappears, and I know that I'm not done talking about it with her. It's just now isn't the best time since we're discussing what we'll do now that we're all together again. "Alright, don't let me interrupt you guys again. You have a serious conversation to have." Sally takes a backseat, and my attention turns to my family.

Sally and I are going to The Kingdom of Avalon, and I'm getting a lot of lost progress done while I'm there. "Sally and I will be heading for The Kingdom of Avalon to handle a lot of things we both need done. Hailey never gave her decision, and neither did Jasmine." Speaking of Jasmine, Hailey will want to make her a Player before they do anything else.

The benefit to all this is that the messaging and friends tab has been restored. Meaning we can communicate while apart. "Since NPCs can become Players, I'm going to find out how to get Jasmine to become one. Best guess, we'll need to head to the Church. I can contact you through messaging to find out where you are in Avalon." That seems like as good a plan as any.

My eyes shift to my parents and Marcus. My mother has a hopeful gleam in her eyes. "We want to come with Sally and you… Once Hailey and Jasmine are done, they can catch up to us in Avalon… What do you say?" Mom is the first to speak. I don't know how good of an idea that is… It's not necessarily bad, but I can't carry all of them. There isn't enough room on my back.

The idea that comes to me at the moment is heading to a city or town close by The Elven Kingdom and using an airship. Either that, you have Helda request an airship to come to Greshina to pick us up. "I don't see why not, but we'll have to use an airship. Teleporters are an option, but the gold fees for all of us will be ridiculous." The Adventurers Guild will take everything we have.

~~~(Time: 11:27 AM)~~~

It's been so long since I've looked upon my children's faces, and I'm so glad that I pushed harder these last couple of days to catch up. If I didn't then, we would've missed them. "First things first, everyone add each other to their friend's lists. They've been wiped since we added each other on Earth." I open my Player Interface and what Cera says is true.

I send a friend request to everyone, and my friend's list quickly shows new names. The only person that isn't on here is Jasmine, and that's because she doesn't have a Player Interface or access to the System. My eyes rest on Saliandra Orvello's name, and I'm having a much harder time accepting my baby boy has a girlfriend than I'm letting everyone see.

She seems like a sweet and kind girl, but I'm going to need to spend time with her before I can approve of her… Not like it'll matter… Cera will be with her either way… But I want to know the girl who has found a way into my oldest son's heart. "Alright, since that's handled, I'm going to talk with Helda. Everyone else, find something to do." Cera begins to walk off.

But before he gets too far, he stops Sally from following. "I want you to stay here and get to know my parents. Don't worry. They aren't as scary as they seem." I take minor offense to that… It's not like I haven't earned that, though…
