White Online Chapter 74

''This is strange...'' Isaac murmured while looking at the destroyed forest in front of him.

''What is?'' Luna cutely tilted her head.

''Why did the wind attack only us? Why this part of the forest...''

''Who knows how mother nature works,'' Luna said with a smile.

''That the thing...'' Isaac looked at her and said, ''I don't think this was a work of mother nature, instead... Someone attacked us with a spell.''

''Like... Wind summon?'' Luna asked while looking at her cane.

Isaac nodded, ''That's right, but the wind was much stronger than yours... This means that the one who attacked us must be extremely high level.''

''Should we leave?'' Luna asked with a nervous expression.

''We need to find the exit.'' Isaac looked frustrated.

''M-Maybe we can wait till the time limit is over? Then we would be teleported to our spawns.'' Luna suggested.

''That could work... But, I have Bronze VR Helmet while yours is Legendary.'' Isaac looked at her with a downcast look, ''I would be teleported out in less than 2 hours, while you need to wait at least 20 hours more.''

''Ah right...'' Luna pursed her lips, but then she said with a firm and nervous expression, ''I-I can wait for 20 hours alone, w-we just need to find a good hiding spot!''

''What if you get attacked again?'' Isaac shook his head, ''Way too risky, and if you wait for 20 hours, you would be left behind by other Players.''

''I-I don't care about levels... I just want to enjoy the world as much as I can.'' Luna said with a firm expression and continued, ''Maybe I can log out! That allows me to get teleported into my spawn area!''

Isaac sighed and put Interface in front of him.

''We are in Battle State... If you log out, you cannot log back in for three days.''

''Oh...''

''It is my fault, I shouldn't have suggested this, I am sorry.'' Isaac lowered his head, ''I thought it would lead to another cave, but this was not within my expectations.''

Luna tenderly touched his hand, ''It's not your fault! I wanted to come!''

Isaac looked at Luna's beautiful blue eyes, but then he remembered...

''Did you see where the wind came from?'' He asked with a frown.

Luna pondered for a moment, ''I think... It came from the direction of that mountain!'' She pointed towards the tall mountain in the distance. It was also the only mountain on this small island.

''Time to go see our attacker...'' Isaac narrowed his eyes and stood up.

Luna let go of his hand and stood up with an energetic expression.

She hopped behind Isaac while he was carefully moving forwards. He had his Flintlock pistol ready to shoot anything that moved.

''Are you going to visit me in hospital one day?'' Luna asked cheerfully.

''Can't we meet in the game?'' Isaac asked curiously.

Luna pouted, ''That's not the same!''

''Really?'' Isaac looked at her and tilted his head, ''Sure, I can visit... But, why?''

Luna's face became sad, ''The nurses won't let me play much... They need to do all kinds of tests with me, and I have another surgery coming next week... Even though it won't help.''

''I heard all kinds of new medicines has been found, it is only a matter of time before Winter Illness gets cured, have some faith.'' Isaac patted her head and said with confidence.

Luna giggled and became cheerful again, ''You sure know how to cheer someone up!''

Isaac chuckled, and his face became melancholic, ''Yeah... I have heard those words before.''

''Is everything alright?''

Isaac waved his hand and said with confidence, ''I am fine. I will visit you the day after tomorrow.''

''Alright!'' She said with a sweet smile, ''I will be waiting!''

'Time for mission impossible... How to get out of the mansion without anyone noticing.' Isaac started pondering how he could escape the mansion without bodyguards or his family noticing.

''My mommy and daddy are quite busy, so they can only visit me once a day, but I won't be lonely anymore!''

''Do they know you are playing White Online?''

Luna nodded, ''They bought me the VR Helmet. I didn't even know what White Online was, but they seemed very excited and wanted me to try it out.''

She cheerfully hopped around and continued, ''I thought the game seemed very strange at first. I met a nice lady when I first logged in, and she told me all kinds of stories!''

''Nice lady...'' Isaac frowned and asked, ''Was her face ice cold and was annoying?''

Luna giggled and shook her head, ''She was nice! She told me all kinds of stories about the Peak of White Online!''

''Peak?'' Isaac started becoming curious.

''Apparently, we are currently in the bottom layer of White Online. The higher we go, the stronger opponents and more beautiful scenery will be waiting for us! The Peak of White Online is completely covered in snow, and it is the greatest sight in the entire world!''

Her eyes sparkled as she said, ''I want to reach the Peak and see the scenery with my own two eyes!''

''Peak...'' Isaac murmured.

''We have arrived!'' Luna shouted and pointed at the mountain in the distance.

Isaac frowned and saw large stairs going straight towards the middle of the mountain. It was like someone made them on purpose to invite them in.

The stairs were around 3km in length, and they would take them straight towards the middle of the mountain where large doors were located.

''M-Maybe, the owner of that residence, was too lazy to climb every time, so he made stairs?'' Luna guessed with a silly face.

Isaac bit his lip and resisted laughing.

''Y-Yeah... Maybe that was the reason.''

''Nn!'' Luna nodded proudly. She puffed her chest forwards in pride.

''Stay here. I will check out if there are traps,'' Isaac said and exited the forest. The stairs were only 10 meters away from him, but the distance felt impossible to cross.

Luna looked nervously at the scene and had her cane ready to protect Isaac.

Isaac slowly approached the stairs, and with a nervous heartbeat, he arrived at the first step of the stairs.

He raised his leg and put it on the first step of the stairs.

His eyes instantly widened in shock!
