Wil parted with his family as soon as the plane landed at Leafway city.
Although he told them that it is because of the luggage, in reality, he wanted to avoid Scott, who came to the airport to see his wife and children.
After briefly shaking his hands with Scott, Wil informed them that he will return the next morning with his luggage after having a sleep and left right away with Silver and the bodyguards.
Scarlet Apartments, Sarton Street, Leafway city;
*Creak*
Wil opens the door to see it's nice and clean as always. Having a quick shower, he lies on the bed and stare at the ceiling, falling into thoughts.
"Okay, for the next month, I need to do something about War Online. At any rate, Mia and Rey shouldn't know that Time Traveler is me. But staying away for several hours every day is the same as going back on my words. Hmm…"
Slowly, he drifted into sleep.
The next day morning, on the tenth floor of the Venus Apartments in the neighborhood, Scarlet was walking back and forth in the living room.
She was constantly checking her mobile phone.
Currently, no one is presented in the house.
Scott had gone to work; Mia and Rey have gone to their respective schools on their mother's insistence.
It was because she wanted to let her soon feel like he was at home as a family member, not as some guest.
*Ring*
"Hello, Silver." She picked it up at the first ring.
"Ma'am, we reached the place." Silver informed her in advance, just in case.
A few minutes later, the doorbell rang once.
"Fuu…" Taking a deep breath, Scarlet walked to the door and opened it with a smile. "Wil, you are here."
She stepped forward and hugged him as a greeting, but, Wil didn't reciprocate the same.
He simply asked where he should put the luggage in return.
Scarlet was disappointed inside but watching Wil for the past few days, she knew it's not going to be easy either.
As it is a triple bedroom apartment, Wil got his own room to sleep and he was satisfied with it.
Originally, the room was used to hold two Summersoft capsules. But now that Wil occupied the room, they were shifted to Rey and Mia's room separately.
She then told him about the others about why no one is present at home.
Wil nodded in understanding. He felt it was for the best.
After unpacking his luggage, Wil took a seat in the living room.
Silver was arranging his luggage in the room like a butler while the guards were busy installing his personal S-grade capsule in the corner.
He did it at the Ravens Manor back at Yarlford city back when Wil was a child. So, Silver doesn't have a problem doing things like that.
"So, I heard from Silver that you are shifting the company HQ." Giving a mug filled with coffee, Scarlet took her seat and started the topic to have a conversation with Wil.
The latter nodded in response. "Yes, I liked this city."
"I see…" Scarlet nodded in understanding. As the conversation was cut off, silence filled the room for a while until she attempted to have a proper two-way conversation once again. "So, you play War Online regularly?"
This time, Wil gave a long reply, "Yes. I used to play like 12-16 hours a day since I have nothing else to do. But, now that I need to take care of a lot of companies, I guess I'll have to play moderately from now onwards."
"What about work? Are you going to work from home? Or…"
Wil interrupted with a nod, "Yes, from my room. As I promised, I will be at home for the next 30 days but I hope you and your family members will give me privacy when I'm at work or lying in the capsule."
Scarlet inwardly sighed and agreed with the terms. What could she do anything about it…
At around 10 o'clock, after Silver left, Wil walked into his room telling his mom that he has some urgent business within the game.
"I thought it was just the kids. Even Silver plays this game?" Scarlet became curious about the game upon hearing that this game is loved by even adults like Silver.
Opening her laptop, she went to Summersoft official website and ordered an empty data chip that costs 2000 Yuan/10000 credits.
*Welcome to War Online*
Wil found himself in the same street that he previously logged out but the street doesn't look the same as before.
Several houses appeared to be ruined. And the strangest thing is that there isn't a single person around him and the area is completely filled with silence.
It appeared as if the whole neighborhood was deserted.
Meanwhile, several quest notifications rang in his ears.
*Ding! You receive a quest, Missing Dragon King.
*Ding! You receive a quest, Meet the City Lord.
*Ding! You receive a quest, Join a faction.
"What the hell is going on?" Wil frowned as he opened the quests. The quest names made him think that these quests might be related to the destruction around him.

Wil was taken aback in surprise to see how the situation in the Dragon Island changed within just 24 hours.
"Is it because of him?" He wondered at first but then, he crossed the thought from his mind as he didn't do anything to start such war.
He assumed it has been this way from the start and is nothing but a coincidence.
Wil accepted the first two quests, first. He left out the third quest for temporary as he wanted to learn about this war. And that information can be acquired from the city lord.
As soon as he accepted the quest, he received the letter in his inventory.
Gripping the letter, Wil continued to walk, following the city map.
After crossing three to four neighborhoods, Wil saw an influx amount of people crowding the streets, especially at the stores while soldiers were busy managing the situation.
Ignoring them, Wil continued to proceed.
After walking for more than 30 minutes, Wil reached the Mansion gate.
"Stop right there. Who are…" As one of the gatekeepers about to stop him, Wil handed the letter, "I have an appointment with Wendell."
Looking at the genuine seal on it, the gatekeeper bowed and allowed inside.
As Wil passed through the gate, the keepers whispered to each other. "That young man's wings are strange. Is he from the Eucliffe clan?" "Shh! He can listen. That young man gives the aura of the same level as the city lord and even addresses him by the name. Maybe, he belongs to the main branch of the Eucliffe clan and was sent here to participate in the war."
Meanwhile, in the entrance hall of the Mansion, the City Lord was in a meeting with higher-level officials of the city.
He appeared to be distressed about the situation.
"Damn that bi**h. We have been neutral for several decades now. Just because she's a princess doesn't mean she can send an army and attack our city all because we refused to join her faction." The City Lord was angry but at the same time, he was also helpless against them.
"Lord Wendell, how should we reply?" An official spoke in worry as he glanced at the letter in the hands of the city lord. "If we either refuse or not give any reply by tonight, this time, Princess Kyla will destroy our city for good."
"I know that." Wendell shouted in frustration, "so far, there's no reply from the Dragon Lord Juan. It's safe to assume that he's given upon us. There's only one choice left."
Looking at the officials, the city lord said, "We should start evacuating the people."
Everyone looked at each other's faces.
Just then, a soldier entered the hall and spoke, "Milord, a person named Time Traveler wishes to meet you. He's waiting outside."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
