Reading the message Leila contemplated her reply before sending 'No, you don't have to'
Afterwards, she headed towards the meeting room which she left prematurely and as soon as she entered, each of the branch members was preparing themselves.
"Are you guys ready? I know I left the meeting without completing any plans, but our top priority is to enter this world and let's go find out if it's amazing as they said"
She smirked and said as though she looked down on those who entered with childish thoughts.
Leila held a strong belief that Modern Fantasia presented a unique opportunity to bypass years of effort and potentially exceed her initial expectations.
She saw it as a chance to achieve her dreams in a way that could surpass her wildest imagination.
Moreover, because of Daniel, her expectations of Modern Fantasia grew incredibly and it strengthened her goals and ambitions to rule the world.
If before, she'd be hesitant about the risks, but now that her son has aided in her ambition, she was informed and awarded of the risk behind the unknown.
With that, she hopes to propel further and become and achieved an unstoppable force in the whole world.
"Yes ma'am! I can't wait to see what would Modern Fantasia be like. Does it contain fantasies I dream of?"
Areia excitedly jumped around with her bubbly pink hair bouncing.
"I think you should hold your horses Areia. Maybe it's not like what you thought of"
"But if I can obtain powers that could enhance my muscles, I guess it'd be worth it to explore the unknown"
Lye buffed his muscles up as though showing his preparation.
"I can't believe that after all these years, I finally can enjoy a new adventure despite living in these old bones of mine"
"What hidden adventures could the world store for us? Just thinking about it boiled blood which I thought to no longer be active"
Old Jack laughed with his eyes determined and clear of his goals.
"Does that mean I can do whatever I want? I've been holding myself back from all this time, does that mean I could unleash the hidden lust within me?"
Fara licked her lips seductively as she thought of unleashing her pent-up frustration.
"Fara, you should be clear about our goals this time and Modern Fantasia doesn't allow you to interfere with the world too much according to the members we sent out to explore"
"There's already news of people being struck by lightning when they tried to murder people of the Modern Fantasia"
Tess exclaimed while adjusting his specs.
"All of you, this isn't any playground to play. Modern Fantasia is a land of stimulation that we have yet to uncover. In this kind of situation, we should at least not let our guard down"
Marco said firmly.
"I agree with Marco's viewpoint. While we possess information government to have yet to uncover, there's without a doubt, Modern Fantasia could seep into our life without our being aware"
"After all, it's a place where the impossible exists"
"With that, I ask of you to be vigilant before we meet up" Leila exclaimed which gathered their attention.
"Happy adventuring to all of you"
She gave a wave of goodbye before logging into that reality.
Seconds after she left, one of them began deconstructing into the essence of light.
[: Data conversion has been completed :]
[: System Lag :]
[: Error - @9%9$)#(@ :]
[: An unknown sovereign locked in the Modern Fantasia has grown its interest in your existence, and your friends who were transported into the sovereigns that were interested in them :]
[: Do you accept the invitation to its realm? If you reject, this opportunity won't show itself again :]
'What in the world is going on? Is this supposed to happen right after logging in?'
Leila became stupefied by the sudden reaction of the system.
Supposedly, she should have teleported into a safe location belonging to the Human Continent according to Intel.
However, an unknown outcome happened.
'So to summarize all of this, it seems like my first time in teleporting has activated a hidden occurrence similar to the existence of a Unique quest?'
Leila recalled from her son that there were a number of times when players received a unique quest despite not performing any noteworthy actions.
'Am I the lucky one?'
'Should I accept it or not? And if I don't, this opportunity won't rise again, but I'm worried whether it's a trap. And the word error doesn't seem like a good omen'
She contemplated with points to judge whether it was a good choice to accept the offer.
To add on, it's suspicious that the tutorial wasn't offered up to her.
Hence, she suspected that there must be something wrong.
However, when she considered Daniel's reveal of the future, she believed she needed to accept this fruitful choice.
Moreover, Sovereign sounds like a title belonging to a person who holds tremendous authority and power.
Otherwise, how could it interrupt the setting of the 'System' and be preserved by the 'Divine' Being is what she thought.
'if this opportunity will grant my wish to come true, then it's worth it to walk through the path of this choice that will be ahead of me'
Leila prepared herself before agreeing, and the next thing she knew was appearing in unknown ruins of the land with broken statues.
At first, she was stunned by the view, but seconds later, she eventually accepted the thought of mysteries filled within the reality of Modern Fantasia.
'Statues? This place doesn't seem like where lives exist'
Leila was captivated by the view as she explored the land, discovering what appeared to be the remnants of a palace.
The surroundings were filled with scattered debris of crumbling walls and floors, revealing the passage of time and the once-grand structure that stood there.
As she ventured deeper into the area, Leila's attention was caught by the presence of statues.
These intricate and weathered sculptures stood as silent witnesses to the history of the palace.
The artistry and craftsmanship of the statues were evident, despite the wear and tear they had endured over the years.
Unable to resist their allure, Leila paused in her tracks, drawn to these magnificent works of art.
Each statue seemed to tell a story, a glimpse into the past and the people who once inhabited this place.
She found herself entranced by their details, admiring the skill and creativity that had gone into their creation.
'This is beautiful' She commented.
Leila took her time, allowing herself to absorb the beauty and significance of the statues.
She marvelled at the expressions on their faces, the intricate carvings, and the emotions conveyed through the stone.
It was as if time stood still at that moment, with the statues evoking a sense of reverence and connection to the history of the palace.
As she continued her exploration, Leila carried the memory of those statues with her, cherishing the profound impact they had on her.
At some point, Leila's eyes were drawn and fixated on a particular statue amidst the ruins, a poignant carving depicting a mother cradling a newborn child, gently wrapped in a cloth.
The statue's age remained unknown, as it had stood there for an indeterminate period of time.
Despite the wear and tear inflicted by the passage of years, its true essence and allure had not been diminished.
The weathered state of the statue had caused its physical beauty to fade, yet its profound meaning and captivating charm endured.
The carving symbolises the timeless bond between a mother and her child, proof of the universal love and nurturing that transcends the limitations of time and physical deterioration.
Leila couldn't help but feel the emotional power emanating from the statue.
It spoke to her on a deeper level, resonating with her own experiences and understanding of the profound connection between a parent and their child.
'Why do I feel sadness from this artwork?'
'Why does my heart beat faster the more I stare at it? Most importantly, why do I feel a sense of familiarity with this artwork?'
Leila sensed a strange emotion rising inside of her, and to satisfy this curiosity she had, she leaned closer towards the statue and touched the statue and felt the coldness of the stone transmitting through her hand.
However, in that instant, she heard an anguished voice of a message being played inside her mind.
'I live for my child, and I gave everything to him. I raised him up and loved him. I live a fulfilling life, and so did he. But why was his life taken by *Err@r*?'
Leila heard a voice within her mind that sounded sorrowful and though she didn't know what happen, she could guess that the mother of the voice lost her child.
And it's a pain she's familiar with but never to experience again.
"Oh human from Earth, do you like the statue you're seeing?"
Suddenly, a feminine mature voice echoed from the hollow hallway of the palace.
Sounds of footsteps could be heard, and when it got closer, it stopped.
Alarmed by the sudden intrusion, Leila turned her body swiftly with the thought of preparing herself against a foe she had no idea of.
However, her eyes widened as she took in the sight of the woman standing before her.
The woman bore a striking resemblance to the statue she had been admiring moments ago, holding a child in her arms.
"Who are you?"
Leila questioned, her gaze scanning the woman's appearance for any clues
The woman's age was unknown, but her size and proportion were 'bigger' than Leila's.
But what makes her appearance strange is her outfit.
She wore clothes that were a mix of white and black, with a visible veil covering her head.
Nevertheless, any man would have their nose bleed if they witnessed how tight and revealing these clothes were.
The woman spoke with a sense of longing and yearning, her voice filled with sadness.
"Who am I?''
''Well, who knows? It's been a long time, to the point where I've forgotten my own name''
''But even time itself couldn't stop my memories from fading."
"The voice in my head...did it belong to you?"
Instead of maintaining silence, Leila preferred to dig out as much information as she could.
Moreover, she couldn't act like she did on Earth since, after all, the mystery of Modern Fantasia is a threat to her.
Hence, she's like a powerless chick roaming around the streets of sharks.
The woman's eyes filled with loss and despair as she stared at the statue.
"Yes, those voices certainly belong to me... the yearning for my child"
"Though it's different from your experience, I still think I could somehow relate to that kind of feeling where it torments and tortures you forever''
''The memories of your loved ones crying for your name were deeply buried into your mind and I couldn't sleep at night because of that"
Leila looked up at the sky, memories of Daniel flooding her thoughts.
She realized how fortunate she was that Daniel had given her a chance, and she resolved to change for the better, solely for him.
Her words and thoughts caught the interest of the woman and it triggered something unexpectedly.
"Yes...the words you said are definitely accurate''
''I guess you didn't catch my interest for no reason at all''
''I would prefer to spend the whole day conversing with you, but I don't have much time in maintaining this realm, especially breaking the rules"
"But this wouldn't be our last encounter, Leila Bell''
''In the meantime before our next encounter, I'll give you this as a favour, and if you can pass this first trial, then, you will be worthy enough to undergo the next trial"
Before Leila could question the woman's decision, the surroundings began showing cracks from the inner void.
And eventually, she was brought back into Modern Fantasia without any problems.
[: Error has been solved :]
[: You have teleported into the safe zone in the Human Continent in the city of Goz :]
[: You have triggered and unique hidden quest, Regret of Fulfillment: Trial of Monsters :]
There were too many factors going on for Leila to be absorbed.
Firstly, she encountered a woman perhaps known as a sovereign, and before she could even excavate any info, she returned to the original state.
'This is a little bit weird and sudden of an outcome'
'There are too many questions I have in my mind especially the fact that a Sovereign became interested in me'
'In the first place, what's a sovereign?'
With missing key information, Leila reluctantly gave up on trying to solve the mystery the 'woman' held and instead chose to move forward rather than being chained down by something she had yet to understand.
[: Do you wish to accept the tutorial? :]
*Yes''
Moments after accepting the tutorial, for some reason, she witnesses a visible arrow pointing towards a building.
No doubt this is an effect she has been warned about.
Hence, she followed without any questions.
At the same time, as she walked towards the destination of the location, she immersed herself in this world.
The buildings around her were magnificently built by a combination of great architecture and unparalleled technology.
It raises the question of whether humanity could replicate this kind of technology.
Being told about the truth of this world and the incoming apocalypse, Leila believed that using every card obtained from this world was the best choice.
However, it'll take some time before one day, this technology could be replicated by her organization.
Eventually, she arrived at a building with a logo that speaks about the content of the building.
'Hunter X Guild? Is this the place I'm supposed to arrive at?'
She muttered with lots of thoughts within her mind.
Peeking through the building, she saw various kinds of humans and species celebrating through a tavern where the waiters provided beers and food for them.
'Is this the place I'm supposed to be at? It appears to be a rowdy bunch'
Nevertheless, what made her keen on entering the guild was how she widened her eyes the moment the floating title of 'Earth Player' could be seen by some of the people.
*Ring*
As soon as she entered, the guild activate its sound accommodating system to warn the person in charge of a welcome.
"Oh? Another visitor from Earth? Welcome, Player from Earth and you might be curious why you were guided to this guild"
"But would you mind spare some time of your own to accompany this old me for a while?" Suddenly, an old man smoking a cigar happily welcomes Leila with warm intentions.
[: Quest has been given :]
