Chapter 32 The Game Opens
Vance turned and looked at Alice for a second. Seeing her whole face bright red, he knew something else was up. He nodded and put his clothes back before lifting the blanket to get into the bed. But he noticed Alice was doing everything possible to keep covered, which looked kind of funny, making it hard for him not to laugh. Alice's cheeks puffed out as she yelled out: "Why are you laughing!? Just get in!"
Vance no longer teased her and slipped under the blanket. It was then, when Alice moved over to his side and got on top of him, that he realized the girl wanted to be in her underwear while they slept. He watched as she took a deep breath and then pushed her body up and shyly said: "Do they look good?"
Vance looked at the site of the girl who had on a pair of white panties and bra and nodded his head. "Truly beautiful."
"Hehe…" Alice giggled before laying back down on top of Vance. She felt something starting to poke her, but she ignored it and scooted away from the monster under the blankets and kissed Vance on the lips. She had felt bad that she was unable to truly go the entire way so she wanted to give Vance a small treat. This was why she asked him to pick out her underwear. She lay in Vance's arms as the two's tongues intertwined and their breaths became heavy. Unlike before, this kiss, with the way they were dressed, seemed much more intimate. Alice also did not hate this new feeling that was welling up inside her.
As they kissed, Vance got a little daring and moved his hands to her modest mounds. They were soft and felt just right in his hands. But as he gently massaged them, a hand came up and pulled them off only after about a minute. Although it was regrettable, it was still a small step forward.
Alice did not say anything when she was being groped. She decided tonight was a bit special, so she allowed it, but when she felt herself feeling strange, she became kind of scared and pulled his hands away. It was a new kind of sensation that she was not sure about.
Their kiss lasted until they were out of breath. Vance immediately got up to use the bathroom while Alice looked at him in confusion but did not ask any questions. Only when he came back did the two cuddle for the night.
Alice had long fallen asleep, but Vance was wide awake. He held the sleeping Alice in his arms as he watched the clock in his HUD. The seconds ticked by slowly. As the clock reached 11:59 PM and was seconds away from hitting the game's opening, Vance couldn't help but grow very nervous.
The seconds passed by one after the other until the last ten seconds finally came.

[Alert: Important Information Please Read!]
[Alantina Online Has Now Gone Live.]
[Other worlders will start to appear. The lives of the citizens of Alantina are in their hands. But do not worry. The Ancestral Guardians have also awakened. They will protect select cities and towns. Favorability will also drop for the other worlders if they do any harm to the citizens of Alantina. Stay safe….]
Vance looked at the message that popped up and wondered if he was the only one getting this. One thing the message did say was something he had forgotten since he rarely saw them, and that was the Ancestral Guardians. They were god like beings that would kill any player that kills any NPC in the selected zone. You could say these were safe zones for NPCs. Now that he remembered this, he felt more relaxed because the capital city was one of such zones.
He knew for a fact that his home village was not a starting zone, so he was not worried about Ricky and Maybel just yet. But once the players got moving and began venturing further out, that would be a different story. But what confused Vance was the term 'Other Worlders'. He did not understand this. He did not know if this was some kind of role play thing within the system or not.
Putting these thoughts aside, Vance looked at the beautiful sleeping girl next to him and reached over, and gently tucked a lock of her currently black hair before her ear. The girl did not move at all and continued to sleep peacefully.
Vance laid back and closed his eyes. The door to his room was locked, so unless someone broke the door down, no one would be able to get in easily. They would only have two options: the door or the window, and even then, to get in, a sound would need to be made. Plus, he had traps laid out. He closed his eyes and held the girl in his arms before falling asleep.
*Bang!*
A loud bang came on his door, causing Vance to frown. This not only woke him up but also Alice. "What was that!?"
Vance did not say anything right away but instead got up and handed her a set of clothes. "Put this on and equip yourself." Vance took out his own clothes and began to quickly get dressed. Alice no longer cared about being seen as she hurriedly got up and got dressed herself. As the two were getting dressed, more bangs came on their door.
*Bang!* *Bang!*
"Fuck! You dare try to break my door down!?" Vance suddenly yelled out as he drew his sword. The wooden door was not going to last any longer. "Alice, stand back!"
Vance was pissed. He walked right over to the door that the person was still banging on and threw it open, causing the person who was wearing newbie clothing to stumble in, hunched over. Just as the newbie went to turn and stand up to see what was going on, he only saw a sword dropping down on his head with only a few cold words entering his ears. "Let this be a lesson to you!"
"Ah!" Alice yelled out but froze when she saw the person suddenly turning into balls of light. This sight scared her even more. "What…. What was that!?"
Hearing Alice cry out confused Vance as she did not seem to mind him taking things out of thin air, but the sight of a player being killed frightened her.
