Versatile System Online

Chapter 48 The Princess Knows Of Earth!!!

The princess was beet red from embarrassment. Therefore, she excused herself shortly after.

Ray had also been excited to finally access his system, thus he exchanged some pleasantries and retreated into the room provided to him.

Ray sat on the bed and excitedly called out to Aurora,

"Aurora!, my system is back online and I can use it again",

"No, you can't, at least not now",

Aurora said in a stern tone, clearly serious with what she was saying

However, Ray was perplexed. He had seen the message in his consciousness, so why did Aurora say that he can not use the system? was it perhaps a mistake?

Unable to understand the reasoning for why Aurora said such words, Ray asked,

"Do you know why I can't use the system. I got a system notification informing me of my system being reactivated".

"That was the system being reactivated, not being usable at the instant", Said Aurora nonchalantly, "Right now, your system is activated but not usable due to various reasons".

"The first reason being your recklessness. Due to your suicidal move, some changes occurred within your body. Right now, the system is scanning those changes and adapting to them so it could be more efficient for you and your abilities".

Listening to this, Ray felt more that there was something he was missing and he knew that what he was missing was not any mysterious power but the information he would be getting to know from Aurora once he recovered and returned to Earth.

Life went on and just like that, a week more had passed and Ray recovered around eighty to eighty-five percent of his total strength.

The system activating and scanning his body had increased the time required for recovery by some margin. This naturally made Ray rather displeased, so he asked Aurora about it.

She told him that although it would not be much, there would be a qualitative leap in his strength and the system would also be able to provide a fully-fledged report about his body and changes as well.

Such words calmed Ray down but did not stop Ray from thinking about getting home, as after all, his family was waiting for him and the time for joining the Academy For System Users was also near.

Over the last week, the princess had gotten closer and also started to be more intimate with Ray. Due to Ray staying at the princess's private residence, no one knew of it. Thus no problems occurred.

Ray's opinion about the princess had also been raised to quite an extent, therefore getting closer to each other.

-------------

After recovering eighty percent of his strength, Ray naturally wanted to log out and meet with his family.

However, he could not just vanish into thin air, arousing suspicion from the princess. Moreover, the princess had done a lot for Ray, therefore he could not let her down by simply leaving without a proper goodbye.

Therefore, Ray waited for another day and told her about his leaving back to his family.

"Hey, Rose, I will be leaving soon. My strength has recovered to almost full, my mother and sister would be waiting for me".

Ray said to the princess. The name of the princess was Rose and she had nagged Ray repeatedly to call her that as now they were now friends.

Rose seemed to be a bit put down by Ray's words and her expression also dulled. However, she knew that she couldn't stop Ray from leaving.

After a moment's hesitation, she smiled at Ray and nodded, expressing her understanding of the matter. In return, Ray also smiled at her.

Though Ray had been heavily injured and nearly died on the trip to the capital, he found something greater in return,

A friend,

He found a friend with whom he could discuss matters freely and be at ease. Although the princess was not of Earth and did not know of the customs of Earth, there were still a lot of things Ray had talked about with her, or that was what Ray thought because the princess clearly understood everything Ray told her, seemingly knowing of Earth's customs.

On the other hand, the princess found her curiosity piqued when she heard of Ray's life, hence making both of them chatterbox in front of each other.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Ray started preparing to leave, though he could just log out, he could not do so without care. After all, vanishing in the air would greatly astonish the princess.

Sometime later, Ray stood at the door of the residence, bidding farewell to the princess.

It was at this moment, that the princess spoke something that shook Ray's beliefs.

"I know you could leave this plane almost instantly, so why do the ruse of leaving through the city and all, I know you come from a place known as Earth".

Said the princess,

"You could have just told me, but I understand. After all, telling someone that you come from a place far away and the fact that your method of coming and going is such mysterious, a normal person would find it unbelievable".

As the princess said all she wanted to, she stood in front of Ray, patiently waiting for his response.

Meanwhile, Ray stood rooted to his position, his gaze blanking as he felt his world spin.

"Shock",

"Extreme Shock!!!!",

This was what Ray felt. A myriad of thoughts ran through his mind, yet all the thoughts led to one point, one question, one word,

"How?",

"How did the princess know, and if she knew about it, did all of the NPCs know?",

Ray was in a dilemma, just moments ago, he was happy to have made a true friend but now, that friend had confused him to no extent.

On the other hand, the princess felt unsettled when she saw Ray's vacant eyes. She finally realized her mistake and the level of shock that she had given to Ray.

Trying to better the situation, she hurriedly spoke,

"Don't worry, please don't take it to heart. I know it's shocking enough. Only the nobility knows of this and we keep it as a secret".

On the other hand, Ray's emotions did not get better. Trying to get a grip on his emotions, he asked,

"How does the nobility know of it",

After all, for anyone to suddenly discover that the people they treated as nothing more but NPCs, would know of their secrets, especially from where they came from. One would be utterly devastated.

The princess replied,

"A hundred years ago, an expedition team ventured into the Royal castle, claiming to be people from far away. The Royals were skeptical about it",

"It took a long time but the relationship between the Royals and the expeditionary party got better and soon more people from your world started to appear in our plane".

"With this, we exchanged information and kept all the information about your world a secret from the commoners. For this, a whole agreement was signed".

Listening to the princess, Ray asked her,

"Did the Royals easily believe the people that came? after all they were foreign people".

To this, the princess replied after a moment of hesitation,

"The Royals at first thought of eradicating them, but they brought along with them the seal of our ancestral guardian".

The appearance of the seal changed it all,

"How did the appearance of the seal change the circumstances?", Ray asked intrigued,

"The ancestral guardian left a prophecy, saying that whoever brings the empire his seal, the Royals of that time would treat them to their utmost best and also for the fact that the bringer of the seal would bring be from a place far away".

"Moreover, the prophecy also stated that our world would merge with the world of those who have the seal with them".

"Although It's very unrealistic, our ancestral guardian was a supreme existence and many of his previous prophesied things have come true, so the Royal Family fully believes in it".

"Therefore, the Royals treated the people from your world well and made an agreement that they would support each other while your people would help the nobility to learn your culture".

The princess said all of this in one go, clearly desperate to explain everything to Ray and not make him go away from her.

On the other hand, Ray was very perplexed, he thought about it for a long time but couldn't make anything.

Therefore, he could just take his time and think about the matter slowly with a fresh mind.

Ray nodded toward the princess and bid her farewell, and turned to log out.

On the other hand, the princess seemed to struggle with something, before handing Ray a crystal.

"This crystal allows communication through your plane and this plane, Don't forget to contact me", said the princess.

After which she came forward and hugged Ray, losing herself in his embrace. The warmth that Ray gave her made her feel intoxicated.

Meanwhile, Ray hugged her back and thought nothing much of it. A few moments later, the princess reluctantly separated from Ray while Ray logged out.
