Fate Online: Shadow

Chapter 505: Passionate Kiss

"Huff! Huff!"

The party of five finally stopped in their tracks and started catching their breaths.

"Our turn is coming close, are we still going to that dungeon or should we call it a day?" Gojojo asked his companions in between breaths and inside, he also was relieved that the werewolves this time didn't chase after them unlike the ones they encountered during their earlier hunt.

Cereal Killer looked at the time then turned his attention towards their EXP bars before saying, "I think we have collected enough EXP points just enough for us to level up after we have successfully raided the dungeon"

"You're the most experienced with that place, so we'll follow your lead this time"

"Right, this will be our first time doing it, so we'll be depending on you!"

[Gojojo has transferred the party leadership to Cereal Killer]

[You have become the party leader]

With the agreement of all the members, Gojojo transferred the leadership to Cereal Killer.

"Thanks!" Cereal Killer answered with a smile, understanding why they did that.

'Guilds are really stingy with Dungeon Guides' while walking back to Port City, Cereal Killer thought about the actions of the Guilds, where they have made a business of selling dungeon guides.

This act allowed the nine major guilds to keep the other guilds in check. Causing the smaller guilds into pouring a lot of time and money in raiding and conquering dungeons, and by the time they did all of that, the major guilds would have already occupied more profitable dungeons.

He can't really say anything about it since their guild, Flame Rose, is also doing the same thing and these guides are also not privy to ordinary members.

This of course made the life of the casual players harsher since most are forced to join a guild even if they didn't want to be bound into one.

While those players that really don't care about anything happening in the game are those players in between 50-60 years of age as all of them just kept minding their own business like going camping, fishing, hiking, or traveling the land on foot along with like minded people.

"I really envy those old people. Every time I see them, it makes me realize that I have never really traveled around the world of this game since we only focused on leveling up and making money" Itel, the Archer said when she spotted a group of players ahead of them.

Cereal Killer and the others looked over and saw them too, players whose equipment screams of 'Adventure'!

Equipped with frying pans, fishing rods, a pot for a headgear, or any other weird stuff not seen or worn by ordinary players.

'Traveling huh…should I ask Minerva to go traveling after we are done with the Unique Quest?' Cereal Killer thought while staring at the fishing rod swaying from side to side.

The aged female player noticed his stare and smiled at him when she saw his eyes looking at the fishing rod attached on her backpack.

'Seems like a good idea'

With that small episode, the gang finally arrived before the gates of Port City.

"I've already seen this multiple times, but damn this sight still shocks me, those gates are truly humongous" Bear Kuma, their Tank with a very distinct eastern features exclaimed with amazement while passing through the gates of the city.

"Just imagine if this kind of city actually existed in the real world" Gojojo commented in passing.

As the team headed towards the shopping street, Michael, two hours ago, had arrived at Jenny's place.

"Say hi to them for me! And don't forget your take out food!"

Tina hurriedly got down from the passenger side and eagerly went behind the wheel.

Leaning on the window from the passenger side, Michael gazed sternly at Tina and said, "Don't go over the speed limit, don't run a red light, and if a police wants you to pull over, then calmly pull over, got it? I don't want to see my car on the news in a car chase with the police because someone got nervous. I will hold you accountable if anything happens, you hear me young lady?"

Rolling her eyes, Tina replied with an excited giggle, "Geezzz, I know. You nag like mom, makes me wonder if every adult slowly becomes the person they hated the most when they were young, a person that nags a lot"

Listening to her, Michael let out a chuckle while he turned to look at the ground..

Looking back up, Michael said with a slight smile, "Just be careful on the road at night, got it? If anything happens, call for help or the police. Don't do anything stupid that could endanger you"

With a thumbs up as an answer to Michael, Tina said with impatience, "Got it! Can I go now?"

"Alright, have fun tonight!" Michael answered.

"Thanks! Bye Amanda! I'll be borrowing the car for a bit! Don't worry, I'll bring it back tomorrow in one piece! And nice seeing you!" Slowly driving off, Tina yelled from the car while waving at the figure standing by the front porch of the property.

Amanda smiled and waved back as she sent her off with her eyes.

Listening to those words, Michael had the thoughts of going after his car and yanking Tina out of his car to finally ease his worries for good.

"Hi babe! As I said earlier, Aunt Adalind insisted on having me stay for dinner. I'm sorry for coming here late" Michael immediately opened his mouth as he didn't want Amanda to talk first since it's a surefire way that he won't be able to say anything back.

"And before you get angry, I brought a few spring rolls and a pack of chicken adobo with me, didn't you say before that you're craving for chicken adobo?" Michael continued, showing his best smile, his hands holding the food he brought home, outstretched towards Amanda.

Amanda let out a sigh and put down her arms, "I'm not mad, just don't do this next time and make sure to give me an earlier heads up for sudden changes so I won't waste my time waiting for you"

"Thank you babe! I'll keep that in mind!" Michael immediately brightened up and quickly wrapped his arms around Amanda and gave her a passionate kiss, and received a passionate one in kind.
