Bel pulangan berbunyi, mereka semua pulang dengan cepat hingga hanya tersisa aku, Hendra dan Nia. Tak lama Hendra mengajak Nia untuk pulang. Nia yang sudah selesai menulis sesuatu di catatannya berdiri dan mengiyakan tawarannya tersebut. lalu dia membereskan semua barang-barangnya di meja. Sebelum Nia pergi, dia mengatakan sesuatu padaku dengan nada tingginya yang khas.
"Kita bareng-bareng yok Di."
"(Menatap kearahnya dengan ekspresi dan nada yang datar) Kamu duluan saja."
"(Terlihat kecewa) Oh. Ya sudah aku dulan. Dah."
Kemudian Nia pergi bersama Hendra, Nia sempat melirik kearahku sebelum mereka benar-benar meninggalkanku sendirian disini. Sekarang tinggal aku sendirian dikelas yang masih terdiam sambil memandangi pemandangan di balik jendela. Aku masih bingung apa yang kupikirkan sekarang. Yang kupikirkan hanya Nia yang sekarang sedang pulang bersama dengan Hendra. Aku ngapain mikirin hal tersebut? Aku harus bergegas pulang.
Lalu aku membereskan semua barang-barangku dimeja. Ketika ku melangkah ke pintu kelas, ku merasakan ada sesuatu yang mengganjal di saku celana kananku. Aku yang sedang bergegas untuk pulang langsung melemparkannya di tong sampah dekat pintu kelasku. Namun lemparanku meleset dan malah terjatuh diatas lantai dekat pintu kelas tersebut. Aku tak memperdulikan hal tersebut dan bergegas untuk pulang. Tak lama kemudian, muncul sosok perempuan yang mengambil kertas tersebut, dan kemudian pergi meninggalkan kelas tersebut.
Sementara itu, Nia dan Hendra hampir sampai di parkiran motor. Namun, Nia melupakan sesuatu dikelas dan meminta izin pada Hendra untuk kembali kekelas.
"Kamu duluan aja Ndra, aku mau kembali kekelas. Ada sesuatu yang tertinggal disana."
Hendra terlihat ragu untuk menjawabnya. Akan tetapi diapun menjawabnya dengan nadanya yang sopan tersebut.
"O oke. (Melambaikan tangan) Hati-hati ya Nia."
"Iya. (Membalas lambaian tangannya) dadah."
Kemudian Nia berlari sangat kencang. Disaat yangsama akupun juga berlari kearahnya dan kamipun berpapasan satu sama lain. Akan tetapi,kami tak menyadarinya. Nia telah sampai dikelas, dia bersegera untuk mengambil bindercatatannya tersebut yang tertinggal di laci mejanya. Ketika dia berbalik badan,dia melihat seorang perempuan bersandar di pintu kelas sambil memperhatikannyadengan membawa sebuah kertas lusuh di tangan kirinya.

Please note: This is the old and original version of this story, it is currently being rewritten to be more cohesive and coherent. The new version will have additional content. Dungeons. They're supposed to be places full of danger and loot, where heroes come to fight monsters, gain experience, and hopefully walk out with some really cool armor. They're supposed to be controlled by a sentient mana crystal with an alien intelligence with goals only to expand, devour, and become stronger in order to protect itself. Sometimes, however, they're home to a family of badgers and an assortment of other strange creatures. Sometimes their core has absolutely no idea what they're doing and is really just trying their best, so can you all please stop judging them? It started out as a complete mistake and now they're just in way too deep to turn their back on the whole badger thing!

8 161Party Leveling
{A new notification has arrived.} In front of a few people, these hologram-looking messages appeared and changed their lives in entirely different forms. Things such as growing stronger, becoming smarter, feeling more agile, became possible within short periods of time from that point onwards. The one who regretted his weak healing abilities for years began to chase after the magic powers that could turn reason and sense upside down while keeping his goal, this duty to the wrongs he committed. The other one, who complained about his lack of strength, strove towards the path of an unbeatable champion to protect those he held dear. When the person who had everything found a path to desire for more, not fearing the consequences and the obstacles, he also began to walk onwards to a new life. And among them, the one who walked aimlessly but also never stepped down on the choices he made along the way, was the one who couldn’t be ignored nor disrespected by anyone. The “Player” system that they all obtained, and which granted them several abilities, knowledge and directions, was also the beginning of an entire new era in this world where monsters, magic and technology, were already common and wide-spread. There’s not a single hero, but after committing mistakes after mistakes, learning from the painful and thorny path that they take, and growing as people with the people that surround them, then someday... there will certainly be saviors.
