Chapter 65

"Did you level up?" Zach asked Aurora.

"Yes" Aurora nodded. She wanted to ask Zach why he was angry a while ago, but now that he was back to normal, she didn't want to ruin the mood again.

Zach, Aurora, and Ameria were on their way back from the dungeon.

"What about you? Did you level up?" Aurora asked.

"Yeah." Zach nudged Aurora and said, "Show me your stats."

Aurora opened her menu and showed him her stats.

"You already assigned the accessible points you got from leveling up, huh?" Zach uttered in a low voice and further inspected Aurora's stats.

'If I remember correctly, the first awakened cultivation stage is all about building the base. Even though I couldn't cultivate in the real world, I do have limited knowledge about it. Maybe I can help Aurora increase her physique faster than other players?'

'However, there is no point in being hasty. We can play at our own pace.' Zach let out a deep sigh and thought, 'Even when we ascended to the first realm after many players, we didn't get any information. Imagine if we were one of the first to ascend to the higher realms. We will get close to zero information.'

"What's wrong?" Aurora asked with a puzzled look on her face. "Why are you staring at my stats like that?"

"I was wondering if you got any new skills or something. It looks like you didn't."

"Getting new skills is hard, you know?"

Zach shrugged his shoulders in response and kept walking alongside Aurora.

Zach had two skills, both of them which he got because of his real-world talent and knowledge.

Zach glanced at Ameria and asked, "What are your stats, Ameria?"

"Oh, they are normal," Ameria replied without looking at Zach or Aurora.

'If I pressure her to show me her stats, she will notice I am onto her.'

"Where do you live, Ameria?" Aurora quipped into their conversation. Totally not because she was feeling left out or jealous.

'Nice one, Aurora!'

"Uhh... I live where everyone lives; In the inn," Ameria replied.

"Which inn?" Zach asked.

"The one at the other gate."

"Oh, that's quite far from our inn," Aurora asserted.

Aurora sent a friend request to Ameria and said, "Hey, Ameria. Accept my friend request."

Ameria accepted Aurora's friend request and turned to Zach with an eager look on her face, as though she was waiting for Zach to send her a friend request too.

Zach shook his hand and said, "Nah, I am good."

"Oh alright" Ameria looked a little disappointed.

"Ameria, I will message you in the morning," Aurora said to Ameria. And even if I don't, let's meet at the guildhall at 9 no, 10 AM, okay?"

"Okay. I will see you there." After that, Ameria left.

Aurora glanced at Zach and said with a mischievous smile on her face: "I can't wait to hear my lullaby."

"Well, to be honest" Zach shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am the one who dealt the most damage to that monster, you know?"

Aurora squinted her eyes at Zach and said, "Are you backing off on your promise?"

Zach raised his brows and said, "Lullaby it is, then."

Zach and Aurora went to the inn and ate dinner. After that, they went to their room and relaxed for a while.

"Are we going to clear the dungeons tomorrow too?" Aurora asked Zach with a curious look on her face.

"We might as well clear the dungeon till the floor 50," Zach replied while checking his gloves.

"I wonder what type of boss would be on floor 50," Aurora wondered and glanced at Zach to hear his response.

"I honestly don't care about that. But as long as it's not some ugly ass monster like it was on floor 20, I think we will manage it," Zach groaned.

Aurora jumped on the bed and looked at Zah with an alluring gaze in her eyes after tapping on the bed.

Zach face-palmed himself and thought, 'Don't do that. Don't look at me like that, or I will mistake it as an invitation.'

'Damn, I never knew living with a girl could be this hard. It's so tempting and frustrating. Especially when the girl is like Aurora.'

Zach sat on the bed beside Aurora and recalled one of the lullabies in his mind.

Aurora lay down on the bed and placed her head on Zach's lap.

'Yoooooooo!' Zach clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

'I don't know if she is doing this on purpose or not. But I am going to teach her a lesson one day.'

Aurora closed her eyes and said, "I am waiting for my lullaby."

"Yeah, yeah. Give me a second."

After recalling the entire lullaby, Zach sang it to Aurora.

When Zach was halfway, Aurora opened her eyes and said, "To be honest, I was expecting you would be bad at this. But it's so good. I never knew your voice was so ethereal."

"Now you know."

"How do you know this lullaby? Someone must have sung it for you before, right?" Aurora asked curiously.

"Yeah" Zach replied with a distant smile on his face.

"Was it your mother?"

"Nope."

"Your father, then?"

"Nay."

"Was it your ex-girlfriend?" Aurora asked with a pause.

"No."

"Then, who was it?"

"Someone important," Zach replied vaguely.

"And what is your relationship with that someone important?"

"My master. She used to train me when my father was busy with otherworldly stuff," Zach replied.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Aurora scoffed.

After that, Zach sang her the lullaby until they both fell asleep.
