NOVEL NEXT Chapter 91: A Quick Look
"I will be back by the evening," Mom left with the resignation letter in her hand, her eyes more vibrant than before. A relaxed smile was present on her face as she walked out with her head held high.
Closing the door, I pondered the next set of tasks that I had to do. Mainly regarding the Ciana Grace that I planned to meet today. But pausing in my steps, I decided to check into the game first.
It should be fine to have a quick check to find out any changes that might have occurred in my absence. I thought as I moved towards my room, and then put on the headset, and went online again.

Other than the few changes that had occurred within the rankings, nothing visible had happened to my status in the past week. I mean, I did get a few skills here and there, increasing my affinity with different elements, but that was it.
There are still 3 more days, so there is a chance that I might get overtaken by Mirage. I thought, looking at the player almost reaching my level. But well, it's not like we can do much about it.
Moving outside the inn, I first looked at Tierra and Lierra talking by the table. Waving at them, I went to scout the settlement and the surrounding forest. While I did not find anything unusual…
"Ezekiel?"
Trisha was standing there with a new player beside her. A tall, white-haired dark-elf archer, observing me with cautiousness filled in his eyes.
