May 9th
Nothing else had happen the rest of the day, after (Y/N)'s dream. So after they woke up the next day they came up with a plan.
Everyone starts doing things that make them really happy, hoping that it will get the spirit's attention. (Y/N) is to watch for him and talk to him, before he freezes anyone.
As they are all doing their different things, they start smiling and laughing. (Y/N) is watching for the spirit, but she doesn't see him, before she starts getting cold. So she starts to talk, "Why don't you like it when others are happy? Please, talk to me, I can help you." She looks at everyone and notices that those who are happy haven't felt the cold yet. She is feeling the cold the most, and Naru and Lin, who aren't smiling and laughing, are getting visibly cold too.
"Please talk to me. We want to help you." she waits a couple minutes but she doesn't see or hear anything. "Naru, Lin, you both need to do something, or at least think of something, that makes you happy. If you are happy he has to work more to make you cold."

(Y/N) feels someone standing by her and looks to see the old man looking at her angrily. "Talk to me, use your words." As she is staring at him, she feels her feet start to get even colder. She looks down to see ice enveloping her feet, just like in her dream.
When (Y/N) tells Lin and I to think of things that make us happy, I think of the times I have spent with her. Like when she woke up from the coma and I was so happy to see her awake.
I look at her to notice she is staring at the empty space next to her, which means the spirit is standing there. She then looks down at her feet and so do I.
Her feet are being encircled by ice. I tell her, "Think of happy thoughts, (Y/N)." I cringe at my saying that. But she doesn't seem to hear me. I quickly walk over to her as the room starts getting colder, and the ice starts going up her legs. "Just talk to me." She keeps saying to the spirit.
I get up to her and tell her the same thing I said a minute ago, cringing again, but she still doesn't hear me. I try to think of something that could make her happy, but only one thing pops up.
"(Y/N)... I... Love you."
She turns and looks at me, as the room starts warming up again. Then we all see something amazing.
Two spirits show up in front of us, an old man and a young lady. The young lady walks up to him. "I get it now. That is what you wanted to tell me before I died in the crash." She pats his cheek and looks to us.

"Thank you. We were friends in our last year of school, but he couldn't talk, he was born without the ability to speak. He had written me a letter saying he wanted me to know something. so he asked me to meet him. That way he could see my reaction to his next letter. On my way to meet him, I got in a crash and died. He died in this hotel, many years later, but he still couldn't speak. He didn't want others to be happy until I knew what he had wanted to say. Turns out he just needed a guy to tell a girl that he loves her, that way he could let me know that is what he had wanted to say." Then the two of them wave goodbye, holding each other close.
I turn to look at (Y/N). "I know you love me Naru." Then she kisses my cheek and says, "Let's all go home now."

To Play With Magic

While he may be normal, I can bend the elements to my whim and have power over space and time. Of course, that's who I am at the end of the story. There's a lot I have to go through to get there. And even with all the power I gain... The world ends on a Tuesday. ... This is currently a completed story arc, though it's not the end. New updates are starting March 28, 2022. Actively updating. Mostly on Mondays/Thursdays. WARNING: FLAWED MC and not great early writing. Edits are on the list. ... *LitRPG-Isekai start with a return to Earth to stop the System apocalypse goal. Still a first draft, but with a bunch of edits from you guys thrown in. Thanks for that. Guaranteed updates on Monday and Thursday. This story is only available on RoyalRoad and my Patreon. If you find it anywhere else, please reach out to me. Thank you. Old cover provided by Asviloka. She's also does werds!Current cover provided by Fuyudust. Old synopsis "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves."And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend add from beside me. It's good to have her there, it's been far too long."I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this?"What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world, where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she questions me. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. I can't believe I thought it was a game. If it had been, she'd have been the better choice."I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system," I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important."Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice."It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't mean it."Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she tries while chuckling nervously."Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop."Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab declares while waving her arms around."I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me to try to lock me in a basement."Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was super impressed by my magical abilities."Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one."Hello, my name is Alexis," I pronounce, projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera."Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday."
