Sorry, something came up so I couldn't write these past few days. This one is a short chapter so I hope you can hold on till the next one. ?

"What's your name?",
"Sandra, what's yours.",
"Ludius.", and they continued walking.

After getting lost at least another 4 times Ludius and Sandra arrived at the village gates. The village, only a few hours travel from the forest edge as it turned out, wasn't large in size; with only 15 odd households. But what it lacked in size it made up for easily with its well built shops and blacksmith for players and npcs alike.
The surrounding wall was only made from crudely assembled logs, sticks and the occasional rope but it would take a beating from any animal in the forest for enough time for people to deal with it. The gate itself was only a pair of large wooden doors.
A man dressed in cheap plate armor was holding back an older looking fellow of around 50 with grayish hair and a plump physique.
...
"S-Sandra!", the older man shouted while he quickly ran over to the women.
"What!", automatically responded a startled Sandra.
After looking all over and making sure Sandra was alright the man continued to speak," Thank god you're all right! You didn't return and I feared the worst."
"Don't worry father, as you can see, I'm fine. Now let's go home."
Finally the man was happy again and slowly walked back to the gate with his daughter, Ludius following to one side.
"Who's the pointy eared guy?", whispered the man loudly.
"Oh Ludius, he saved me in the forest."
"What! No never mind we'll talk about this later.", the man turned to look at Ludius.

"Hello young man, the name's Ed. I'm Sandra's dad. Who are you?",
"Me? I'm Ludius, a traveler of sorts."
---
In QV only other players know about the existence of 'players' and 'npcs'. Which can often lead to many unwanted situations.
---
"Hmmm... A traveler. Ok. You can stay and eat dinner at my house tonight; and tomorrow I'm sure Sandra will show you around."
"Sounds good to me.", replied Ludius.
And they continued into the town.
"Thanks dad.", Sandra whispered to her father.
---
After a slap up meal and being shown to his room, Ludius set aside his sword and went to sleep.
---
In QV sleeping is akin to logging off, as you skip time in one world whilst being in another and in order to accommodate this kind of play the time ratio between QV and real life is 1:1.

The boy sat up in bed and took the VR headset from his head.

Alternative Reality Vol. 1
Note: Sadly, all things must come to an end and Volume 1 has been officially completed. Since I have now published the whole volume on amazon and enrolled it into KDP select, I can no longer keep the book uploaded on other platforms as per their requirements. Apologies for the inconvenience. If, by any chance, you'd like to support me there, you can find the book here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MRDFR7V What do you do when life‘s got you hunched on the ground, crying and screaming for your mother? When negativity and black humor is the only entertainment you‘re getting? You run away to a different world, of course! And it just so happened that one such world was available and open for the downtrodden and distraught. Alternative Reality - a virtual reality platform with a suspiciously unoriginal name, already established as the most life-like experience one could spend their time on and Luke had plenty of time to spare. Now? He’s more than just Luke, the social outcast. Now, he’s also Wail - a lunatic magician who plays with fire without the mental aptitude or sense of responsibility necessary to safely handle it. Add in a petty and spiteful character and the conditions for mayhem are fully satisfied. Join now and witness his adventures, while the world around burns with more than a bit of fault falling upon his downward sloping shoulders. Disclaimer! The book contains morally ambiguous choices, violence, arson, vandalism, unnecessarily satirical portrayal of religious zealotry, profanity, background forced labor that looms dangerously close to slavery and much, much more.
