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

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:21 PM)~~~

We've made it to the Arena at this point. Many Players are staring at me from all directions. The halo above my head makes it impossible to blend in anymore. Which is something that I really enjoyed. It was only a matter of time until I couldn't anymore.

"Why are they staring so hard? It's like they've never seen a famous Player before."

Marcus doesn't understand there is a difference between other famous Players and me. I was the first person in a Worldwide Announcement. The only one to have a Divine Grade Class.

That's a large and heavy reputation I'm carrying. Hailey starts to explain to Marcus in my stead. My eyes are locked on the battle below. It's a fight between two powerful Players. One of them is Plutonium himself. The other is the vice guild leader of Hollowed Willow Tree.

Matador.

He's a Legacy Class holder, and he gains quite a reputation in the future. At this point, he's still got a lot to learn. Matador has a good following of fans, and it's said that Wilted Rose and he are childhood friends. Growing up on the same block.

However, those are just rumors. The Hollowed Willow Tree Guilds have gained tremendous power since I last saw them. However, The Steel Legion is still on top from what I've heard.

"This fight will be a long one."

My observation doesn't go unnoticed by the people here. But I watch Marcus and Hailey's faces fall as two women approach the row we're sitting in. Their eyes lock on me. Judging from Hailey and Marcus's reactions, they know these two.

I stand up and hold out my hand for a handshake. They seem frozen like statues. Perhaps doing this in the seats of an Arena isn't the best introduction. Hailey and Marcus grab their hand and take them toward an exit. Sally and I follow right behind them.

We enter an empty room inside the Arena. A storage closet, if anything. I fold my arms and wait for an explanation. Mainly, I just want to know which one Marcus is with. They're both beautiful girls, but that doesn't explain anything, really.

Marcus rubs the back of his neck nervously as he's trying to find the words to explain. Hailey is doing the same, but not as obviously.

"Umm... Kelly. Rianna. This is our brother. Everyone knows him as Slayer Zern, but his name is actually Cera Adamo. He's my older brother and Hailey's younger brother."

My little brother shouldn't use my real name, but it doesn't make a difference at this point. The girls in question take deep breaths and look at Marcus and Hailey nervously. Kelly is starting rather hard at Marcus.

I'm guessing that's the girl Marcus is with. Rianna is looking at Hailey for a better explanation. Not the boy I was hoping for her to have, but as long as Rianna distracts Hailey. I'm okay with it.

"Hey, are you gay?"

I elbow my sister, and she looks at me with a raised eyebrow and an insulted look. Hey, I might as well ask before I assume. I don't know if my sister's tastes have changed or not. I'd rather know and understand what's going on.

She rolls her eyes and steps toward Rianna.

"I know it's hard to accept. But our entire family is full of powerful people. Cera is the strongest of us. And Saliandra is his girlfriend. She goes by Sally. She just recently got a Legendary Class."

There is probably going to be a lot of explaining, and I don't want to hang around for that. So I grab Sally's hand and leave the storage closet. We make our way to a private viewing booth, so we don't have to deal with staring at us in a bunch of different directions.

Hailey and Marcus will be busy for a while dealing with the fallout of the revelation. But it gives me a break from having to hang around so many people. All of a sudden, I feel Sally's hand in mine, and I turn to look at her.

"Do you think everything is going okay in Maero? They know we'll be here until we need them, but I feel like we should be there. I know you want to help Marcus and Hailey, but I think they'll be fine without us."

Looks like my girlfriend is thinking the same thing I am. I'm not worried about Maero like she is, but I do think that I've shared everything that's valuable to Hailey and Marcus. I've given them instructions on how to get the Legendary Classes too.

I'm willing to bet they'll be giving them to their traveling companions since the girls in question are weak. But what do I know? A Legendary Class goes for a lot of money on the Auction House Tab.

"I'll tell you what, we'll have a talk with Hailey and Marcus. Explaining that we don't really want to stay since we've already helped with everything. I'd like to get back to Maero too."

It's not just about getting back to Maero, but also getting back to the schedule we're used to. Sally and I are both dead tired mentally, and I'm looking to take a nap in this booth before anything interesting happens.

Sure, the fight below is good. But my eyes are heavy, and I'm ready for some shut-eye for a change.

"That sounds perfect. I can't wait to get back into a comfortable bed and get some sleep. The sooner we're done here, the better."

It was nice to see Hailey and Marcus for this very short amount of time. But now, Sally and I don't want to stay for a week. We want to get back to where we were and do the things we were doing.

My brother and sister are still busy with their friends, and I can only guess how long they'll be. But there is a short problem. The system is showing the next people that are fighting after Plutonium and Matador.

Marcus is facing off against someone from Flaming Skull, and right after his match, Hailey is fighting someone from The Steel Legion.

~~~(POV: Hailey Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City Of Jaerey, The Kingdom Of Laasir, The Islands Of Haestar)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:37 PM)~~~

Marcus and I both see the notification from the system that our matches with our opponents are coming up soon. However, we've been preoccupied with Rianna and Kelly. Mainly, getting them to calm down.

"OH MY GOD!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT TO MEET SLAYER ZERN!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I GOT TO LEARN HIS REAL NAME!!! I SLEPT WITH HIS LITTLE BROTHER!!!"

Kelly is a far bigger fan of Cera than Rianna is. But that's not stopping Rianna from freaking out similar to Kelly. I can't help pinching my nose and subtly grabbing my brother's wrist. I drag him out of the storage closet, and we make our way to the Arena.

He looks at me for an explanation as to why we're leaving those two behind for the time being. It's simple; I don't have the time or patience to sit there and try to reign them in. I might as well let them vent and do it alone.

"You can't tell me listening to them didn't annoy you too."

He takes on a very brief thinking expression and then nods his head in agreement. We eventually get to the place to prepare for an upcoming match, and Plutonium has won his match.

Meaning Marcus is up next against his opponent from Flaming Skull.

"I feel things are going to get interesting when we make it to The Runis Of Tasdir."

Sally and Cera won't be sticking around long. I can tell. They want to get back to what they were doing, but Cera has already shared everything he knows about The Ruins Of Tasdir, and given us instructions.

It's going to be fun.
