A Girl's Life in a Gaming World

When she saw the titles, Alex guessed that there must be more rewards waiting for them to claim after beating the enemy's commander. But she refrained from asking Ezekiel for more as she felt herself getting weaker and weaker. "Hey Ezekiel, let's talk about this when I respawn." 

"What??" He barely heard what she said with how faint her voice was. 

"I need rest," Alex whispered before disconnecting the call. Even though she is curious about the rewards they received, her soul seems too tired that she can't even hold a conversation. 

And if she wanted to play the game a little longer later. She needed this rest, or she'd collapse when she fights someone. But she knew that even an hour of rest would not be enough. "Lumiere, wake me up when it's time to respawn." Alex said before closing her eyes. 

The ground she is lying on isn't suited for sleeping at all. But the discomfort she felt disappeared as soon as the fatigue hit her. 

"What a troublesome master..." Lumiere sighed. Alexandria floated in the air with a wave of her tiny hand then a bed was summoned for her to lie on. With how fast Alexandria's actions were, Lumiere wasn't able to tell her that she could control or summon anything in this realm as she fits. 

...

Time passed, on the huge, soft bed, the girl was sleeping soundly with her flushed cheeks and silver-white hair strewn across the white pillow under her head... 

Lumiere lightly sat on the bedside to continue watching her. Then she heard Alex mumbling in her sleep. "I'm coming, I'm coming..." Lumiere, who doesn't have any experience with dreams, moved closer to observe her.   

Meanwhile, Alex saw a woman chained up in a dark prison deep in her dreams. The woman was very tall. She had long silver-white hair just like hers. Even though she was chained up, she still looked elegant donned in her gold silk dress. 

As if noticing Alex's presence, the woman raised her head at her. Alex can now clearly see her tall nose, defined facial features, and extremely good figure. Then Alex's eyes and her scarlet phoenix eyes met with a smile on her face. 

Seeing her pitiful fate, Alex wanted to rush by her side and save her. However, no matter how much she pushed her feet off the ground, she didn't feel herself moving an inch at all. 

Seeing Alex struggling, the woman shook her head as if telling her that what she was doing was pointless. The woman opened her mouth. However, no words came out. She stared at her in sadness, resigning to her fate. 

"Hold on, I'm coming!! Arggghhhh" Alex grits her teeth, giving everything she can to move her body. Nonetheless, before she was able to make any progress, a female's soft voice interrupted her.

Then she felt her whole body being drawn in by a huge black hole. "Noooo!!" Alex was able to read the woman's lips saying 'Goodbye' before she was completely sucked in by the black hole. 

"Alexandria!! Alexandria wake up!!" Lumiere shook Alex's body, thinking that it was no longer just a normal dream. 

"Noooo!!!" Lumiere jumped in fright when Alex screamed when she woke up. 

Alex sat up in bed, clenching her chest while gasping for air. Alex slowly composed herself by breathing in and out deeply. 

After getting ahold of herself, Alex looked around her when she felt the unfamiliar bed. Then she saw the huge tower that reminded her where she was so she relaxed. As for the bed, she can guess that it probably came from Lumiere. 

"A dream??" Alex mumbled as she thought of the woman she saw. However, no matter how much she thought, she did not find any clue. So instead of worrying about an unknown dream, she focused on the present instead. "Why did you wake me up??" Alex turned to Lumiere. 

"You said to wake you up when you can respawn. You can now respawn, so I woke you up," Lumiere defended. 

"That fast??" It didn't feel like she slept for about 30 minutes. It felt like a nap of 10 minutes as she scanned her body. And just as Alex expected, an hour of rest is clearly not enough to restore a significant amount of her stamina. 

"Do you want to respawn now??" 

"Yes," Although Alex still needed more rest, she couldn't wait to explore the game as soon as possible. As long as she doesn't fight a large-scale fight she can probably hold a candle for a few minutes against people as strong as Ezekiel. 

"Please wait." 

[Transporting Player Alexandria's Soul to Yggdrasil]

With a flash of light, Alex disappeared from the void's realm. 

Meanwhile, a bright flash of light appeared in the middle of Honey Combed Village. Ezekiel, who was close by, noticed it; as soon as he saw the silhouette, he instantly recognized the person behind it.

"You're here." 

"Ezekiel!" Alex was quite surprised by his sudden in front of her face. 

"Shhhh... There's a funeral" Ezekiel hushed her noisy lips with his finger. 

"Funeral?" 

"The villagers are mourning the death of the village guards, who sacrificed themselves to protect the villages." Ezekiel uttered as he pointed at the huge campfire in the middle of the village. 

Suddenly, the faint sound of a flute could be heard in the distance. At that moment, the entire Honey Combed village became quiet. 

"This...?" 

All the people were silent. The flute rang out slowly in the midst of this silence. Everyone looked at the center of the village. The campfire appeared to be an altar made of bricks with a few belongings from their loved ones of those who died on top of the firewood. 

Everyone then started humming, the entire village was filled with the beat of the funeral procession. Some people behind the campfire started to slowly beat the drums. The sound of the villagers' flute, drumming and humming mixed together. The belongings of the villagers caught on fire, the flames then consumed the villager's belongings. 

The humming of the villagers was grand and noble. Alex couldn't take her eyes off the burning campfire. Their families mournful cries wandered throughout the village. 

The villagers held a ceremony in remembrance of their loved ones. She didn't know the name of those who died since they were just a character in the game. However, it is clear to her that all of them were great and deserved her respect.

She did not cry, but her heart and mind were overflowing with hot and sad emotions.
