Chapter 2:

2. way out

it's just us two right?

“Looks like the creature is just hanging around here,” I assumed.

“Maybe…, but, Abu, that creature's shape is kay-”

"Instead of discussing that, the most important thing now is what happened? What nightmare is this? If this is a prank, that doesn't seem possible,” I asked, trying to make sense of where we are at right now.

"Game world?..." Nara said confidently.

"Hmmm... oh yeah, Nara, have you ever seen a hologram screen before?" I asked.

“Oh… the one with the level 1 'Find a Partner' written on it?” replied Nara.

"Ah ... it turns out you also get?", I said.

"Yes, when pulled you run from the monster," said Nara.

“Hmm… this is beyond common sense, but this is what happened. Whether this is a dream or not, what is certain is that we must return home on time. What do you think? Somehow I have a feeling we have to go home to get out of this game,” I said, thinking hard.

"Well, yes... tomorrow we have to get married, Abu," said Nara, thinking about marriage in a situation like this.

“Wait a minute… if we go home now when it's dark, the risk is too great. Even though we are still in Semarang and know the way home, it is not necessarily the same in this world. So, let's wait for tomorrow," I suggested.

"Now we exchange information first and make a mature plan," I added.

"That's true," said Nora.

"Okay, I'll tell you first. As we were pulling out of the parking lot, we got hit by a truck or something, and bounced here. I woke up quite far from where you were, in front of the Telkom building to be precise, and I was looking for you like I told you before," Nara told what happened to her.

"How come it's so far? Even though I was thrown just a few meters from the incident," I said, confused.

"I don't know," Nara also looked confused.

“Okay, now let's talk about this world system. For the world setting, fortunately it's still the same, but it doesn't seem like this is the Earth we know. Regarding creatures, we don't know for sure how many creatures like before, and about levels, it looks like we will enter several levels in the future, "I explained.

"And also there is a kind of reward system exactly like in games, starting from stars, score results, and prizes."

“But, what is certain is that our goal right now is to return home first. I don't know why, I have a hunch like that," I said.

"Yes, Abu, we have to go home and get married. I don't know if this is just fabrication or real, the important thing is we have to get married so it's legal and we can hug you!” Nara said excitedly, even thinking about marriage.

"Yes, Nara, yes ..." I said smiling.

"Okay, now about the hologram, how do we bring it up again?" I asked.

“Main menu,” replied Nara, and sure enough, the hologram appeared, reading Level 2 “EXIT.” What does it mean?

And below it is written 'what is your ability'. Underneath is the 'start' button, maybe if I press it, the game will start.

"Nara, don't just fill out her abilities, let's discuss them first," I said.

“Nara?…”

"Hmm?"

"Not filled yet?"

"Already, I've started too."

"Nara..., huh..., what did you write?" I'm used to Nara.

“Ah, I wrote disappeared. I want to be invisible, so I can walk freely and not be afraid of monsters. It's cool, isn't it…” Nara looked enthusiastic.

"That's fine, great, I thought you'd write something weird," I said.

"Abu, that's how it is... What do you think I'm going to write?" his face started to frown.

“Maybe… the newest comic?” I joked.

"Ah, Abu is like that... I'm crying," Nara even cried.

"Eh, don't cry, just kidding. Oh, cup cup cup…” I tried to comfort him.

“Hwee… Hwee…” Nara was convulsing.

"Honey, sorry honey..." I said while stroking his head.

"Come on, sleep. It's late."

"Hug ..." his face pitifully as he reached out his hands to me.

“Yes, yes, tomorrow, but…” I said.

"Now…"

"You're not married, honey..."

"Okay, get married now."

"Where's the penghulu?" I asked.Penghulu is someone who is in charge or authorized in the legality of a marriage in the Islamic religion.

"It's outside," he replied, pointing at the large creature earlier.

"Well, keep on joking ah you," I said.

"Sleep well, we'll leave tomorrow," I said.

Nara finally fell asleep, and I was still thinking about which ability to choose.

Yes, actually it's easy to just write super strong powers, but the problem is whether there will be side effects, or the words we write might change their meaning according to what we think, for example 'super human', this will have many meanings.

Nara chose the ability 'disappeared'. The problem is, how did it disappear? Ah never mind.

“This looks good,” I began to write. My ability, 'Problem Solving'. I press 'start' and go to sleep.

............

“Hah…” I woke up too, but where is this? Grave? And where is Nora? What really happened?

"Nara ..." I cried looking for Nara.

"Nara!"

What actually happened? What am I doing here?...

Wait, this tomb looks brand new. His name...?

Nara Nuraimah bin Akmal Fudin. Written on the tombstone.

"What is this, are we entering level 2?" Looks like I have tocleared this level, but where is Nara? Is he in this grave? No way, what should I do?

I tried to use my abilities, while squatting at the edge of the Nara grave.

“Main Menu…”

Nothing happened, can't it be opened when entering the level? This is weird.

This is weird. I become confused. Actually, which world is this? Have I been hallucinating this whole time? But it feels so real.

“Abu...” Someone called me with an echoing voice, as if the source of the sound was in my ear.

“Nara...!?!?!?” “Nara... Where!?!?!?!”

"Abu!"

“Hah... hah... hah...” I suddenly woke up with Nara beside me who looked worried.

“Abu, you had a bad dream?”

"It seems like..."

...

DUAARHHHHHH!!!…

DUK!.. DUK!… DUK!… DUK!… DUK!… DUK!… DUK!…

"Okay, according to plan, come on, quickly get out of here."

"I'm all set."

We immediately ran as fast as we could out of the old city and away from the creatures that had been provoked by our plan.

Level 2 'DONE' - 3 Stars - Score '130170' - Gift '10 Skill Points'

Before leaving, Nara uses her ability to 'disappear' and heads to the car park, making a decoy by sounding the horns of cars that are blocked with objects to keep sounding.

“Hah… hah… hah… tired…” said Nara who looked exhausted.

"Fine, just walk, we're far enough from them," I said.

"Hah... crazy hahaha... crazy... that was cool," said Nara excitedly to the point of exhaustion.

"That was like in action movies, I swear it turns out that the sound of the original explosion gave me goosebumps too," he said.

"Yeah, that was quite a stir," I added.

"Now we live to the bridge."

"Yeah..." Naruto said, still tired.

"Cradle?" I offered.

"Want to…"

"Eit, not married yet."

"Ah... you're not kidding again," Nara said curtly.

“Hahaha… just kidding… sorry-sorry.”
