Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

The scene in front of Zack immediately vanished as he appeared back. In front of him, Eva's eyes were still glowing and she looked as though she was in a daze.

Zack immediately retreated to one of the seats and pinched his right cheek hard.

"Ow!" When he felt the pain creeping up, he realized that what he had seen was indeed very real. 'What the fk did that even mean…'

Suddenly, Eva's eyes moved over to Zack's face as a smile blossomed on the former's face.

"Looks like her words were indeed correct. I wonder what the year is and what's all these fancy things are." Eva muttered in a double-pitched sound as she looked around the room.

Zack on the other hand was wondering whether he should go out of the room or ask what the fk was happening.

He chose to do neither.

"Hey, don't give me that look," Eva suddenly said as she stood up from her seat and started walking towards Zack.

Her movement was completely different from what he knew. It looked as though a completely different person was controlling her body.

"Zack, why do you seem afraid of me?" Eva asked with a confused look as she tilted her head in the right direction. "Ah… never mind then."

Eva suddenly sighed as she looked into Zack's eyes. She bent down on her knees so that she could be on the same level as him.

"Well, looks like I will vanish soon enough. I wonder if I will make an appearance again," Eva muttered to herself before she placed her right hand on Zack's shoulder. "The least I can do is make the first move."

Suddenly, Eva placed both of her hands on Zack's neck and leaned in.

Before the latter could do anything, her lips connected with his.

'First kiss…' Zack had kissed a few girls in his previous life and had some experience in the field. However, he was currently being pushed back by Eva.

She continued to press her lips against his before sighing mentally.

'Guess it's goodbye now.' Her eyes slowly started to dim before they turned back to normal.

Evangeline's eyes widened when she saw herself kissing Zack while he was staring at her. She immediately pushed back before turning in the other direction.

'Did I just fking kiss him?!' Eva's mind was ablaze with hundreds of thoughts running around. The feeling of her lips pressed against Zack's still lingered in her mind.

For her, it was her kiss. For Eva, Zack was the first boy around her age who she had gotten to know.

And he was also the one who got her first kiss.

While Eva was trying to sort her mind, Gugnir started glowing again in Zack's hand.

[ Gugnir (myth): The lance of Kai, the god of timelines. Myths say that it can control timelines.

---

Rewind Timeline(Multiple people): Can rewind time between a day to a week for every single living being. No one will remember the time that was rewinded.

Other features are locked. ]

'What penalty is it?' As soon as the thought entered Zack's mind, another screen opened in front of him.

[ Penalty: The user will not be able to use any of their items, weapons, or skills for ten times the amount of time-reversed.

Total time: 10 hours

Remaining time: 8 hours ]

'That's actually not that bad…' Zack thought with a sigh before he raised his eye to look at Eva.

She was still looking away from him. Zack stood up from his seat and did a fake cough. Eva suddenly turned around with a calm and collected expression.

"Mind explaining what happened?"

"You kissed me."

"… Mind explaining in a bit detailed manner."

"Do you uh… want me to explain the kiss in detail…"

Even though Zack was trying his best not to make things worse, he was doing the exact opposite thing.

Fortunately, Eva was not easily flustered. She looked at Zack with a sigh before averting her gaze.

"Just... go outside and give me some time alone."

Zack nodded after hearing her words before he walked outside the room.

Eva on other hand went ahead and sat down on her chair.

'It felt good though.' She touched her lips with her index finger before sighing again.

For whatever reason she kissed Zack, it was her first kiss.

A first kiss that she wasn't going to forget any time soon.

'Now, what should be my next move.' While walking towards the room where Emma and Mia were, Zack had a lot of questions in his mind.

He had already taken out Emma and his VR glasses before leaving the place.

Furthermore, Eva had also asked the technicians at the place to take out the two gaming pods to Eva's house so both of them were safe too.

However, the nuking changed a lot of things.

Before going to meet Emma and Mia, Zack decided to stand in the corner of the hallway and open the news.

Currently, the news was displaying the wreckage at Zack's place with the help of Doogle's satellite.

A huge 10-meter crater had been created in the place where a legendary mansion once stood.

Zack released a sigh of relief as he remembered he, Emma, and Mia would have been killed if not for Gugnir's new ability.

'I wonder if this was Kai's way of saying that he is watching me.' While thinking that, Zack detached himself from the corner of the room and started walking down.

Emma and Mia were currently sitting in the meeting room which was one floor below Eva's office.

"Zack, tell me honestly, how did you know that was going to happen?" Mia asked the moment her older brother stepped inside the room.

Zack wondered whether he should tell her the truth but after remembering what had just happened, he decided to skip it.

"I wouldn't have known that if Eva hadn't done a routine satellite checking over our place. If you want to thank anyone, thank her."

Mia looked as though she was about to say something then thought better of it. She moved towards one too small refrigerators and took out some popsicles.

After passing two popsicles to Zack and Emma, the trio calmly started eating them.

While eating, Zack and Emma suddenly got a game notification for them.

It was about a server-wide event for different factions.

"We will get 5k guild glory if we take part in this?" Emma asked in a doubtful tone as Zack nodded.

However, on the inside, he was fully confused.

'This didn't even exist in the past.' The new event available was not something that had been there in the past.

According to the event, there were two modes for players. Solo mode and guild mode.

The solo mode would start in five hours while the guild mode would start after the solo mode ended.

The solo mode winner would get a dumpling basket as a prize while the guild mode would get a lucky voucher and 5k glory points.

Zack and Emma had no details on such items yet the 5k glory was what they would aim for.

Furthermore, it was stated that the event didn't involve fighting and was more of a friendly competitive style event.

"I guess now we know what to do next," Zack added as the duo finished their popsicles.

They then sat down on the sofas before logging in to Hikari.
