Then, the sky above the Northern Guardian Zone erupted in a dazzling display of fireworks.
Meanwhile, "As It Was Before's Husband" was added as a remark beside Jack's avatar named "Whistle Echo", and "Whistle Echo's Wife" was added as a remark beside the name "As It Was Before".
An odd feeling swirled in Jack's heart as he looked at these words. He had never thought he would enter an online relationship one day. But did this even count as an online relationship? He honestly wasn't sure.
With a shy emoji, "As It Was Before" said, "We're married now. Is it okay if you call me 'babe' from now on?"
"That seems awkward," Jack replied. He couldn't bring himself to type the word out, like he couldn't say it in real life.
"Hmph! How is that awkward? It's not like I'm asking you to call me 'sweetums' or 'babycakes' or anything like that!"
Sweetums? Babycakes? The addresses nearly made Jack burst out laughing.
"As It Was Before" suggested, "Come on! I'll take you monster hunting!"
Jack was feeling bored anyway, so he followed "As It Was Before" to a high-level monster zone. The monsters here were out of Jack's league, and he couldn't take them on alone. However, "As It Was Before" had brought him here to let him tag along and get experience points so that he could level up quickly.
A strike from the monster could damage his health by half. If "As It Was Before" wasn't there to protect him, the monster would have torn him to shreds.
"As It Was Before" teased, "Dummy, I never thought you would be so clumsy in the game for someone as smart as you in real life.
"Quick, run! Haha! You're such a hog. Hide behind me, or else the monster will eat you alive! Don't die of stupidity!
