Chương 12: Waylow Road
"It been a while, are you done changing your clothes?" Eirwyn took his time to check the in-game menu while waiting for Aria.

"Wait for a moment," Aria replied while she dressed up behind a rock. Eirwyn didn't see her because he turned his back away.
"Okay." Eirwyn opened 'Character' with his mind. A window popped out.
'Cling!'

"Hmm... so these are my own stats. It seems these are the base values of attributes for my character." Eirwyn skimmed through the 'Attributes' as he analyzes their descriptions to familiarize himself to Halcyon's game mechanics.
Clearly, they didn't come into a proper tutorial for beginners when they started the game. Armado the Armored Armadillo Armorer only gave them instructions on how to acquire their Sui Generis.
"Hey, I'm finished dressing up. Let's go." Aria tapped his back with her soft hands.
Eirwyn turned his body around, he left his mouth opened as he saw the way Aria looked like when she dressed up with his clothes.
Aria wore his hooded pullover jacket, it was loose and the sleeves were exceeded on her arms, she also folded up the pair of black pants since it was too long for her. Overall, she looked like Numbuh 3.
"What are looking at? Is it strange?" Aria was wondering about Eirwyn's reaction.
"Oh, nothing." Eirwyn regained his composure.
"Well, take a look at yourself, it suits very well for a weirdo like you." Aria had a sneer on her face as she mocked Eirwyn who only wore a plain shirt and boxer shorts.
"Tsk! Hurry up or I'll leave you here alone." Eirwyn suddenly left Aria behind.
"Hey, wait up!" Aria immediately followed behind Eirwyn.
While walking, Eirwyn opened his map to locate Llyne Town and find the possible shortest route to reach there quickly.
Verlem was a meandering river, the water currents from the river swinging left and right across the floodplains. Thus, the Verlem River had many curves and bends — it was also wide but its depth was not deep at this time of the season.
Eirwyn chose to follow the bank of the river before. However, as he looked on the map thoroughly, he realized that it was troublesome and time-consuming to follow the riverbank. So he decided to traverse the meadows.
Eirwyn and Aria keep themselves occupied while trekking along the meadows not too far to the Verlem River.
"I wonder how did you get yourself in a tight spot. You could handle those slimes by yourself, right?" Eirwyn was puzzled, he knew that Aria was a top expert on Stratus Isle, it doesn't make any sense.
"Uhm... I was excited when I finally entered the game. So I wanted to try my Sui Generis and searched for monsters to kill and earn experience, then I found those slimes beside the river and I tested my skills carelessly. I thought they were weak, I underestimated them." Aria told him what happened before to give a reason for her embarrassing situation.
"I killed many slimes after I used some of my skills, but I was unaware of my mana consumption at that time. Many slimes were unceasingly chasing me and I wasted my ultimate to kill more. Then I realized, all of my skills were on cooldown. I tried to attack them but it was no use, they quickly regenerate their HP." She added.
"Hahaha! Looks like your gaming skills became so rusty and noobish after a couple of years!" Eirwyn made fun of her.
"Hmph!" Aria didn't talk anymore after that.
The two kept going after several minutes, it seemed strange they encountered no monsters.
They saw a dirt road in the middle of grassy plains. Eirwyn opened his 'Map' to make sure which direction they would go.
"Aria lets go this way." He pointed with his right hand on the left.
"Okay." She nodded and agreed as she checked her own 'Map.'
Eirwyn and Aria followed the dirt road, it was the only path towards Llyne Town from the place they were situated at.
A notification window popped out.
'Cling!'

Waylow Road
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
Not far off, at the end of Waylow Road, they saw a long arch bridge made out of stone stood sturdily across the Verlem River.
On the other side of the stone bridge on the Verlem River was a wooden gate of a defensive wall that was erected around a town, needless to say, within the walls was the town of Llyne.
"Look Aria, that was Llyne town! This is great, let's go meet Terrell!" Eirwyn felt a sudden feeling of excitement and pleasure as he pointed towards the town of Llyne.
"Woah!" Aria was filled with wonder as she saw the structures that she had never personally seen before.
They didn't want to waste any time and hurriedly ran to the stone arch bridge.
