A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

"Unlike you, other players did not simply ignore the view more options. You are now satisfied, right?? Then this means that the system's calculations are 100% correct." 

Alex felt quite strange as she kept on talking with Lumiere. It felt like Lumiere was trying to convey some emotions in his speeches. At the same time, it didn't know how to. Yet the longer they kept on talking, Alex thought that Lumiere was learning.

It's learning so fast, it is incomprehensible. Just a few minutes ago, it felt like she's talking to a female robot with a programmed response. But the way how it argued with her, on how it's correct with its calculations, felt humanlike.

"Yes, yes, I am now satisfied." Alex surrendered, raising both of her arms in the air.

"Thank you..."

Alex looked puzzled, hearing Lumiere's thanks. The way it said it was like hesitating, similar to how a person saying thanks for the first time in their life. 

...

Alex tried to look at the other race's view more option to see what kind of overpowered hero class trait they got. However, all she's seeing is the race's background stories and some useless information. 

"Why can't I see the hero class trait of the other race?" Alex wondered.

"It is to avoid players being jealous of the hero class,"

Alex nodded in agreement. "Hmmm, you're right. Everyone will surely feel envious if players can see the hero class traits." With Alex's experience of the usual toxic behavior of most players in online games. They will likely cause a riot on the forums and community if they ever see some players having an advantage over them. 

Not to mention that they are giving the advantage to the people who are already too strong with their mechanics, considering that these people are already pretty strong on Guardians. 

"Wait..." Alex suddenly realized something. 

"If I got an overpowered trait, then that means that my father will also get one?" Her strength compared to her father is just like a drop of water in the sea. If her father seriously plays this game, he will probably trash her around, just like in the real world. With her father's monstrous skills and techniques, there's no way he will not become the strongest. "Should I start getting scared?"

"I need to trust myself more."

"Why did you even give out the hero class to the top players in Guardian anyway?" Alex asked.

[Sorry but that is a classified question, please ask other question] 

[God Healer #2882 is calling and inviting you to Hideout server] Lumiere suddenly blurted out, reverting to its robotic tone.

"Speak of the devil." 

[Do you wish to accept?]

"Yes"

The moment Alex answered the call. Samantha's cries echoed right through her ears. 

"Sissss!!!" Samantha wailed.

"Why are you crying?" Alex was puzzled, hearing Samantha sobbing on the other end.

"I can only choose one race..." Samantha said sorrowfully. 

"Ehhh? Did you receive a hero class? Aren't those things for the hall of famers?" Alex is now confused. If memories serve her right, she has never seen Samantha's name on the hall of fame list.

"Yes... I did not enter the hall of fame... I always think that fame is useless and will destroy a person's peaceful life instead." Samantha stopped sobbing, but there are still slight hiccups in between her words. 

Alex guessed it right. There are people like her who chose not to enter the hall of fame. 

"Sis Alex... can you pick Fairy race??" Samantha asked. 

"Sorry, Samantha, but I can only choose the Human race. I also chose not to enter the hall of fame just like you." 

"I'm right, with your strength, there's no way you can't enter the hall of fame." Samantha said.

"But I want to play with you guys..."

Samantha sounded so crestfallen. "Don't worry about it. I think we can play with each other even if we don't have the same race." Alex said, at the same time muted her mic hurriedly.

But she then unmuted her mic again, seeing the two silent usernames on the call. "Hey!! can't you guys throw at least some comforting words?? Help me out here, can't you? I'll be right back fast." Alex scolded Ezekiel and her father by staying silent and just listening to them all this time.

She then muted her mic again without waiting for their replies.

She then turned to ask Lumiere. "Hey Lumiere, can we play with each other even though we have different races?" Alex just said those words to Samantha to console her. She still wants to confirm if it is possible, to completely soothe Samantha's downhearted feeling.

"Yes, players have the choice to ally with other races in the later part of the game when both worlds are connected. There are also ways to travel other worlds in the early stages." Alex's worries vanished after Lumiere supported her guess. 

"How?" Alex was quite intrigued when Lumiere mentioned connecting both worlds. What she understood on the thing that Lumiere had said is that this game will probably consist of countless worlds, and they would not start at the same place if they don't have the same race.

"I am sorry, but I cannot answer this question as it is a classified question. Please discover it on your own later on."

"You're right. I don't want to be spoiled anyway." Alex just left the matter be her first question has already been answered anyway. She'll discover it on her own sooner or later.

Alex then unmuted her mic. "Samie~~ I talked with my A.I., and it said that we could play with each other very soon." Alex cheerfully talked with Samantha to expel the gloomy mood around her. She did not dare mention that there's a chance that it might take a long time for them to play together. 

"I guess I'll just work hard later," Alex mumbled to herself.

"Did you say anything?" Samantha asked, hearing Alex's inaudible voice.

"Nothing, nothing, go pick your race now. I'll figure out how we can play soon later." 

Zach then butted in. "If we can be allies, then I can go ahead and pick my race now." There's no point in playing the game if he became an obstacle to her daughter. 

"Dad, what race did you get?" Alex curiously asked.

"Hmmm, it's very suited for me, the A.I. really gave some thought on this one." Zach answered while looking at the weapon selection list. He did not give much thought to picking the race when Alex said that they can ally with each other to Samantha since he only has one choice anyway. 

"So, what did you get??" Alex asked again, annoyed with her father not answering her question.
