บท 9: we found an ancient treasure

Li at this moment was turning the nearby towns upside down looking for chocolate.' there's none in this town too, he takes the map out 'it can't be helped, let's just go to the nearest city, I don't believe I can't find one there' he sprints sending himself to the air far away leaving a large pit in the ground.

Erha finally finished throwing the pearls, "now, I only need to wait " taking a final glance at the proud work he turned around and then left. right after he did, a ripple showed on the surface of the calm sea, next a giant drip of water came out from the middle up to the sky but near the surface of the sea.

afternoon,

why is he so late? did something bad happen to him? was it because of the chocolate ? that can't be, who is silly enough to endanger his life for chocolate besides I don't think he understood what I wanted?

"ok no more thinking, my head is about to split"

I get out of the tent, to my surprise, a giant mirror is standing in the air above the sea

"what the hell is going on?", the system said this is an apocalyptic world, not a magical one? maybe I can go check it out? the waters are almost clean, once I take a quick look I'll rush back, shaking my head I directly throw this idea away .it's too risky, let's just wait for the protagonist, he got the protagonist halo so he won't die!

"I'm back"

"just in time, hurry, you have to see this", I drag him by his arms, "see, what do you think that is?"

Li frowns, "the appearance of a treasure"

"a treasure? then what are we waiting for, let's go get it"

"stop, it's better if we don't go, it's not that simple besides the appearance of it suddenly here is suspicious ", I'm only suspicious of it because, no treasure appeared in this area or this time in my last life, so what is the reason of it appearing?

"did you do something while I was gone ?"

" no, I did....." Erha suddenly remembers what he did so he nods .he takes a bunch of pearls from his hand and then makes a gesture showing that he throws them into the sea.

"the treasure was triggered "Li muttered

" We can go, but you have to stay beside me and don't underestimate it", Li bends down so I can get on his back, and with a jump, he directly flew to the mirror-like shape thing.

then, everything turned black.

.....

"young master"

"Young master, please wake up!!"

I hear a soft voice keeps calling, it was noisy that I couldn't help but wake up from my sweet sleep and slap the owner of the voice, I open my eyes, sit down, and ready to do what I attended I scream holding my hand up " how dare you to disturb my beauty sleep" than before the slap landed, I saw it, the weird-looking room full of dragon decors and sculptures and it's made of gold but that's not only it, the people around me are wearing weird clothes.

" young master !! you finally woke up !!", the screech woke me up from my stupor.

" why do you call me, young master?", I asked

" because you are young master Ming Bai, "says the crying girl

"young master Ming Bai? who are you kidding ?"

' status unlocked'

name: Ming Bai

age: 15

identity: the youngest son of the patriarch from the famous ancient family Ming

notice: welcome inside 'fantasy mirror", you are only allowed to stay here for 3 days, you have to survive as the character you wear, once out, you get to have all the properties of your character even abilities if you want.

warning: be careful of your choice and don't be too greedy.

notification panels popped out of thin air one after another," that's right, we went inside the giant mirror. from what I see this resembles exactly a role-playing game and all I have to do is to stay alive? so simple?

"young master!!! the patriarch wants you to come over "

"can I not go?"

"young master!!!", ok ok I'm going just stop screaming that word, it is making my eardrums ache.

as we passed through the hallway, I was amazed by the building, the whole thing is jade, walls floor even plants only the leaves are gold, and when we came out to the yard I realized the grand buildings and towers around, one word can describe them, majestic and magnificent. looking at them made me want to make a look-alike kingdom, proud and beautiful, didn't they say I can take the belongings of this character? then if I inherited this castle, will I be able to take it? no, I can't be greedy, not only it is too wilful but also because I'm the youngest who knows how many big brothers I have, the rate of success is close to 15%, and I only have 3 days it's not like the father for the inheritance it's too cruel and I'm incapable of it.

after walking a long road, we made it to our destination, I am now in front of a giant gate made of marble.it opened by itself emitting a blinding yellowish light from the inside, I walk in directly with my escorts. a tall man was standing in front of the window with his back facing me.

" greeting his leadership the patriarch" the escorts all bow at the same time.

" Bai'er how do you feel now", says the burly tall man,

" answering father, I'm feeling great ", huh? what's with my way of talking??

"good, then we don't have to delay anymore, you're getting into the pool tomorrow ",

'pool?!' the patriarch hands me a wooden token" get ready, our family don't keep weaklings", he says whilst spreading heavy pressure.

"I will try my best not to fail you", I perform a fist and palm salute then slowly I take my leave.

'sigh' that was nerve-racking.
