~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: Flying, The Continent of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:47 AM)~~~

The jungle below is a wonderful sight, but the edge of the jungle is visible in the distance. Beyond it, another desert. I wonder what we'll find out there? There are so many things to find on Alforza. It's a large continent, after all.

Sally is happily spreading her arms out and pretending she's flying while she's on my back. This is the first time I've seen her do this before. After getting dressed and packing our things, we left around 9 AM. Since then, we've been up here in the clouds.

My mind is on my family. More specifically, where they're at and what they're doing. I haven't spoken to any of them in a while, and I think getting in contact with them would be nice.

I open my Player Interface, and the first name I click on is Marcus. My little brother. The last I heard of him, he was helping a Kingdom with a problem they had. He was also bragging about how he's got the Princesses of the Kingdom he's in right now obsessed with him.

That was funny the first time I read it. It's time to see how he's doing now since a reasonable amount of time has passed.

[Staying out of trouble? Cause if you are staying out of trouble, that'd be a problem. Last I heard from you. There was something about a couple of Princesses. I don't want your expectations dropping.]

Marcus might take some time to get back to me since he's in a different part of the world. It's around 10 PM where we came from. The Sea of Relsarmoder is a great distance. But to my surprise, he gets back to me relatively quickly.

[I don't think Mom and Dad would appreciate that you prefer me getting in trouble as opposed to staying out of it. But hey, they're not around to say what I can and can't do. As to the Princesses, I had to let them down easily. I can't get tied down. I'm still young.]

I doubt that's how they saw it. On the other hand, people with Legacy Grade Classes and higher can do whatever they please. Marcus has a powerful Legendary Class, and that comes with a lot of authority and power. Even Princesses aren't seen as suitors.

Players having this kind of power has caused problems, but nothing that's not happened before in my past life. I'm just glad Marcus is having fun. Sad it has to come at the slight expense of others. They'll get over it.

[What are you up to now that you're done with that Kingdom? I'm assuming you're done?]

I don't know the specific Kingdom he's helping. But they must've been truly desperate to approach a Legendary Class holder. It's considered disrespectful and nearly unforgivable if you waste the time of such powerful people.

I should know. There have been people that suffered from wasting my time, not by my choice, but by the world of Gaia and its inhabitants. Sometimes even The Almighty Father stepped in.

[Yeah, I'm done helping them. I'm currently on my way to meet up with Hailey. I thought hanging out with my older sister might be fun since we didn't spend that much time together anyway. I don't really know her as I should, and this is a great chance.]

'This chapter is updated by Nov elB i n',

That's surprising. Hailey doesn't seem like the type to hang out with Marcus. As mean as that sounds. Hailey has changed a lot of things about herself. Most of them are for the best.

Some of her poorer qualities remain, but those are how you look at them.

[I'm about to talk to her after I'm done talking to you. It's good news to hear you want to hang out with Hailey. Fair warning, she can be... Emotional. But only if given a legit reason too. Like bringing up favorites in the family and stuff.]

Hailey might resent me for giving Marcus some clues on how to make her upset. That's how it goes with siblings, though. Form alliances when you can, and break them when it benefits you the most.

We talk for a little bit longer before saying our goodbyes. Next is Hailey. She was pretty vague about what she was doing in the Southern Player Continent. Also known as Cebora. Only that she'd be spending a lot of time there.

[How's my least favorite siblings doing?]

Hailey and I have a unique relationship. One that doesn't need explaining from our past interactions and stories. I know just how to press her buttons, and that's something she still hasn't quite locked down with me.

[Just busy kicking ass and taking names. Something that you probably haven't done in a long time. What are you doing anyway? You make it to Alforza?]

I love my sister. I love my family. But sometimes, they're just the most embarrassing people I know. Who the hell says that anymore? That saying died out over 120 years ago.

[Yes, Sally and I made it to Alforza. We're currently flying over a desert and looking for the next exciting thing we're doing. We've taken on Dungeons, visited Kingdoms, and other cool things. What have you been doing other than lying around being lazy?]

Hailey used to be incredibly lazy growing up, and that's something she got tons of flak from Mom. Dad always let it slide. Mom and Hailey were at war with each other for a long time. I remember. It was rough since they dragged the rest of the family into it.

She doesn't take long to respond. I'm surprised that both my siblings are up at this time. To Sally and me, it's the middle of the day. For them, it's late at night.

[I've actually been busy taking on mercenary contracts. I've even decided to team up with a guild for the time being. There is a series of new and big Raids coming. Things I can't do alone. They agreed to split that winnings 50/50 with me.]

That sounds too good to be true, but if it is. That's a lesson she has to learn. The Continent of Cebora has a lot of Raids, from what I remember. All of them have great weapons, armor, and item drops.

[Merc contracts, huh... Never pegged you for a merc. I wonder what Mom and Dad would say about that.]

Let's just say that Mom and Dad think certain ways about jobs. Be it on Earth or on Gaia.

[Oh, shut up. I swear if you tell them anything. I'll be sure to open my Cera folder. I have plenty of dirt on you from before we all got stuck here on Gaia. In The Ancients World.]

That's a bald-faced lie if I've ever heard one.

[I might actually be scared if I thought you had anything on me. We both know that you got nothing. But I can be persuaded to not tell them. Send me 5,000 Gold, and I'll forget about it.]

There is silence for a few minutes. I can only imagine how she's reacting at the moment. Time passes, and I get another message. This one is from the system.

[Player Hailey Adamo has sent you 5,000 Gold via The Auction House.]

A small smile appears on my face, and I get a last message from Hailey.

[You can bet your ass I'm not forgetting this.]

"I miss you too, sis..."

I do miss Hailey a great deal. She's my big sister, and even though our sibling dynamic is pretty competitive and sometimes violent. That's how it goes with us. It's our way of showing each other love.

"Who are you talking to?"

Sally's head appears on my shoulder, and I can hear the curiosity and slight worry in her voice. She and Hailey aren't on the best of terms after all.
