《This world is strange》Chapter 79. Party Part 2/2
Advertisement
As they reached the bottom of the stairs a some of the people from the tables walked up to them. They were from the same race as Roland and seemed like they were his relatives. After a while they all walked around and welcomed everyone personally.
Meanwhile Joseph and Catherine were talking with eachother until Roland met with them.
"So you have come! Welcome my friends! It is an honor that you have come to my humble party!"
Joseph didn't know what to think of it, because he did not saw this humble. But Catherine held out her hand which Roland kissed gently.
"It is our honor Roland! The party looks quiet fabulous."
"Thank you! It is the merit of the staff working here. They are the best you can find around here!"
As Joseph looked around he saw a few people doing background works, like watching out for any troubles, changing empty plates and other necessities.
Roland reached out and pulled his son in front of him from behind.
"I belive you haven't met my son Ronald! Ronald this is Catherine and Joseph. They are the ones that helped us with the cript I was talking about."
The boy held his right hand to his hearth and made a small bow.
"It is nice to meet you. My father told me about what you have done for our family. Thank you!"
Joseph was in embarrased.
"It was a job. We got paid for it, so it is not like you should be that grateful!"
"I wouldn't say that."
Rena reached for his husband's shoulder.
"Darling! Your grandfather wants to speak to you about something."
"I see. I'll be going then."
He turned to Catherine and Joseph.
"I'll see you later."

"Yes."
They walked away. Joseph looked at Catherine who was smiling under the mask and made a comment on them.
"They definetly wants something from us."
"I hade the same thought."
After ten more minutes the music changed and people started dancing. Joseph asked Catherine for a dance and they joined in for the first round.
It was hard for Joseph to keep up with the music, because the dance was slightly different than the ones he knew. Also Catherine moved very rigid. It took him a few minutes to get used to it and she also started to move better with time, but they still stood out from the dancing group.
After the first round they sit out from dancing and watched the head of the phoenix family dance with his wife. They looked like professional dancers, who always practice for this kind of events.
After the second round they also stepped down from the dancing. Joseph looked at the other two person from the family. Ronald was speaking with some other people. They looked like they were his friends.
Their daughter was talking with other girls of her age.
As Joseph looked back at Catherine, Roland was right next to him. He almost jumped back from the supprise.
"Excuse me if I frightened you. It seems like you were lost in thoughts."
"No problem. I was indeed!"
They both laughed and then Roland turned to Catherine, bowed and held out his hand.
"Would you like to join me for the next round?"
Catherine seemed a little bit nervous.
"Yes?"
They walked to the middle of the room. Meanwhile Joseph saw Rena on the side watching other people.
'Might as well...'
He walked up to her and copied the move Roland did to Catherine.

"Can I ask the lady of the house for a dance?"
She smiled at him.
"You can."
Her voice was soft and pleasant. It seemed like she just stepped out of a fairy tale. They also walked to the middle of the room and started dancing next to the other two.
As the two pair was dancing, it seemed like the whole room stopped and started to watch them. The four of them stuck out of the dancers. The yellow and black flowers in the middle of the dance floor caught everyon's eyes.
After the round was done they all walked back to the place where Joseph and Catherine was standing formally, then just as Roland started to speak Jordan walked up and whispered into his ear.
"Are you sure about it Jordan?!"
"Yes sir. Please follow me!"
"Joseph, Catherine please come with me!"
Rena also followed them as they walked out through the main door.

Arduous New World
Alright, so I'm using this as a whetstone to practice my fiction writing. I have dyslexia, so bear with me if I have any mistakes, if you point them out I'll try and correct them. The story is LitRPG, I'll try and avoid some of the tropes, see FAQ. What happens is that the world turns out to be a simulation coming to an end, and beginning on its new simulation, in this process the system of the universe declares that the new simulation will be rpg-based. The protagonist however is thrust into an empty space before the simulation comes to an end, he escapes and finds that the world as he knew it is gone.Chapters will come sporadically as I'm quite busy IRL. FAQ1: There will be no Harem. 2: If any sexual content, it will be be below the screen, example sentence [they made love - or - they had sex]3: I'll try to keep character motivations steady instead of having characters who says and does one thing in one chapter, only to change their mind in the next one. 3: Villains or "bad guys" won't be charicatures. Of course, as in real life, you can meet these people, but as far as big bads or antagonists goes, they will have some modicum of intelligence. 4: The MC does not have an encyclopedia of random knowledge. 5: OP'ness won't happen overnight, and it is something that I'm wary of in terms of adding it, of course eventually the MC will grow more powerful, but there won't be any cheats, except hard work; and the luck factor will be more or less similar to the rest of the population. 6: He won't be opposing the universe, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant7: he won't become friends with god/the ghost in the shell etc, no matter how powerful he grows, he is too insignificant, and an ancient simulation ai has no interest anyway, why would it ? Okay that's that for now.
