A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

"I got the Werewolf race." 

Looking at the unique trait of the werewolf race. Alex nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's perfect for you." The three-times regeneration of werewolves is pretty compatible with his father's usual fighting style. Her father's way of fighting is so annoying, she can't think of how to beat him even once. 

Alex doesn't know where his father got his ridiculous natural regeneration, but she once saw how incredible her father's regeneration was. When she was five years old, her father went home with a severed arm. He arrived so casually as if the severed arm was not bothering him at all. Alex is still an innocent child at that time, so she's just curious where her father's arm disappeared. Her mother then severely pummeled her father for showing her that bloody scene without minding his injury at all. What's even more incredible is that her father's arm grew back the day after he got back.

She once tried asking her father, when she got older, why he has an unusual regeneration. But her father only answered that it is a military secret. 

...

"Oh yeah, by the way, what hero class trait did you both get? I got two, two-times experience as my trait." Alex asked once more.

Ezekiel suddenly butted in. "Hey! Won't anyone ask me what I got?" Ezekiel has been quite upset for a while being ignored all this time. He feels so out of place with their topic about heroes and stuff he doesn't have. 

"You don't even know what we are talking about!" 

"At least I know that you guys are talking about races. I also have a race to pick!!" Zach has been waiting for so long to brag to Alex about what race he got. He is even more excited to tell Alex, knowing that she can only choose one race out of the one hundred.

"I am more curious with my father and Samantha's overpowered hero class trait than the affinity of your races. Besides I will still force you to pick human in the end, so it doesn't matter what you got." 

Ezekiel can only sulk in the corner of his room and cry inwardly. Why am I here just to suffer!! 

Samantha's cute giggles rang in the background. 

Even though they are using a voice call, Alex can tell that Ezekiel is sulking in the corner and will be silent for a minute now. So she then left the broken Ezekiel alone and asked her father and Samantha again. "So what hero class trait did you guys get??" 

"I think it's better for you not to know about it," Zach answered.

"But why!? It won't harm you telling me what you got."

"I won't get hurt... but you will..." Zach said while laughing teasingly.

Listening to her father's mocking laughter only made Alex more curious about what trait they received. She can't help but think that her father must have more overpowered hero class trait than her. "How about you, Samie? what did you get?" Alex went to ask Samantha instead, knowing her father that loves to tease her the most. She curiously wants to see what others received. 

A brief silence then followed the call.

"Uhmm, I think it's also better not to tell you my trait right now. But I promise I will tell you when we meet up in the game." Samantha contemplated whether to tell Alex her hero class trait or not after her father did not tell her his trait. But she also decided not to tell Alex what she received. 

The hero class trait she received is not strong in the early stage. But if she worked hard enough, it will surely become a strong asset for them in the future. She wanted to build up her strength first, then surprise them when they can finally play together in the future. 

"Ehhh?? Samie?? Why??" Alex can't believe that Samantha chooses not to tell her hero class trait to her.

"Sorry... It's not a strong trait at the beginning like yours. But I want to surprise you with my strength if we play together in the future." She wanted to become someone that can trample any army in the future.

"Don't worry too much about it. I think the system gave everyone a trait that will be perfect for our playstyle. Anyway, I'll be going to leave first. Since I finished my character creation." Zach then exclaimed to help her daughter's friend make an excuse. 

"Dad, wait!!" 

"Yes?" 

"What weapon did you pick? At least tell us what weapon you chose, right?" Alex curiously asked.

"I picked a shield," Zach answered.

"A shield..? You mean sword and shield?" Alex is now more confused. Everyone seems to be doing unexpected things one after the other. She hasn't seen the weapon selection yet, but it's strange for her father to pick a defensive item. With his father's reckless behavior and regeneration, he always goes for very aggressive weapons. 

"No, just a shield." 

"Ehhh? Why?" 

"I am not here to steal my daughter's spotlight. I am here to protect my daughter." A smile formed on Zach's lip as he said those words to his daughter. "I never had a chance to protect my strong daughter, but if ever I will have the opportunity, I'll do it flawlessly." 

"Okay, I gotta go see you later." Before his daughter can even react, Zach immediately left the call and dived into his assigned starting world.

"What a cool father," Samantha exclaimed.

"Uncle is even cooler if you meet him in real life. Despite his age, you can chill out with him just like a friend. He even teaches me a bunch of cool stuff." Ezekiel agreed with Samantha. 

At this moment, Alex's cheeks turned pink. She never expected her father to say those words to her. And it hit her directly, right through her heart. 

She then asked Samantha what weapon she will be picking to forget her embarrassment. "Samie, what weapon will you choose?" Alex acted unconcerned as much as possible to hide her embarrassment. 

"I think the flute is the perfect weapon for me." 

"Flute? You can use a flute as a weapon!?" Alex doesn't understand this game anymore. She was just thrown a confusing choice by her father just a moment ago. Now even her friend is throwing another confusing choice. 

"Yes, it is the most compatible weapon for my hero class trait. Flute's use is to tame all kinds of beasts. I am planning on going on the route of a beast tamer." 

"I need to go now, bye Ezekiel, bye, Alex, see you later." Samantha bid her farewell to them, she is excited to explore this game already.

"Bye, Samantha." 

"Bye, Samie." 

Samantha then left the call.
