《Spade : AfterLife》 01 :( Remake ) The Missing Friend ( Part 1 ) " Why you''re still standing there, Nodochi? Come on, the game store will be closing soon. " I remember the words I said to Nodochi when we''re about to go to the game store but suddenly I don''t know how Nodochi foundhis childhood''s friend. Which is a girl. The girl name Ashley Fionna who transfered from Singapore back to Malaysia. She''s now study at the same school as Nodochi and me. Talking about Nodochi, it''s been 2 months since he played Era Orbit Online. Nodochi is not a shut-in or very addicted to Era Orbit Online, it can''t be. He plays game just to release stress, but sometimes the game itself make Nodochi''s stress make even more worse. I was gonna suprise Nodochi that Ashley studied at our school and same class. I sit at the back row, left side near the windows. " You''re spacing out, again aren''t you? " Ashley approach me. She is a talkative person and already make a half friends of this school. I mean, she already made 50% friends just 2 months study here. Maybe because she was a bookworm and attractive. She''s not a sport person but got a good shape tights. " Who you''re calling that, Nochan~ " I mock her. She''s been calling Nodochi, Nochan and for me was Dechan. Weird taste. " Ehh, it''s just a habit okay! " she blushed. Even for two of us, without Nodochi still have a silent moment. The silent moment sometimes strike my chest and makes me want to cry. I want to find the answer. Where is Nodochi. Is he really okay? '' Dude, I''m okay. '' Again. The words kept appear in my mind. I release a big sigh. " So, what are you going to do today? Sleep? Play game? " Ashley ask. " Well firstly, I''m going to Nodochi''s parent house to ask where the hell did he go. After that, I''ll go home and play the game that Nodochi ask me to play to. " I yawn for a second.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. " Then let me join you. I''ll follow you then I''ll play the game to. I already register the ID at the game store yesterday. I thought I was the first one who is going to invite you playing the game. " " You know it''s VR, right? Do you have the console? " " Of course. " " Then, that''s settle. Let''s go now. " I grab my bag and open the classroom''s door, Ashley followed me from the back.
I unlock the keylock from my bicycle''s tyre. I set a mango key on the tyre just to make sure no one''s steals it or accidentl swap. I look on my watch, it shows 6:30, evening. " Move you''re ass quickly, Ashley! " As I saw her running downstairs, I shout. " I will sprain my ankle, you know! " " Whatever. " She sit at the back of my bicycle sit. My bicycle is kinda special because it has 2 sits, and of course 2 tyres. " If I say hold, hold my stomach tightly okay? " I said. " Why? " she ask. " You will know the reason soon. " I push my pedal using my foot, hardly because of the tall roads. it''s like a mountain bike tracks from the top until bottom. " Why did you became friend with Nodochi, Dell? " Ashley ask while holding my stomach, her head lean against my back. " Hmm? Well, when i was in a kindergarten, I saw Nodochi playing blocks all by himself. That day, I ask him why he play the blocks all by himself. He said that He don''t know. " " Then? That day you became close with him? " " Yes. But it seems that Nodochi don''t remember me. When I met him again in middle school. He looked at me for a second, than look another way. For me, I think he look at me like I''m a stranger. " " Talk about forgetting, he also din''t remember my name when we met at the train station. " " What happened to him? " I look up on the sky. The stars start to appear one by one. Shining like a torch light. " Ooh. We''re arrived. " Ahead of us, it''s Nodochi''s parents house. Ashley get down from the bike and quickly walk towards the house. She press the doorbell button. " Hey, wait for me! " I put my bike beside a lamp post, without locking it. " Hello? This is Ashley and Dell. We''re here to visit Nodochi! Is anyone home? " 01 : The Missing Friend ( Part 2 ) " Damn, His family house is so big. There''s a swimming pool and a wide space backyard? You can play soccer there. " I said. " Shh, I''m trying to call them. " Ashley press the doorbell button again and again. Still no answer from the inside. " Maybe it''s a true fact that he''s family went overseas. " " What about his sister " " He told me that his sister staying in hostel for 6 months. " " So that means, Nodochi is all alone by himself? " I sighed. " Then what? " " Maybe.. Nodochi also went to overseas with her parents without telling us? " A briliant words came out from Ashley''s mouth. Her arm cross while lean against the house gate. " Impossible. Nodochi will atleast leave a note or a quick message before he took off. Think carefully, Ashley. " I replied. " Seriously? How do you get his number? " " He just gave me when we were camping. " I approach the walls, it shows a number of 5. " Do you want his phone numbers? " " Eh?! O-of course! " She shocked for a second. Hopefully Nodochi won''t get mad for giving his phone numbers to the person that he mostly want to avoid. Nodochi usually get mad when someone brings his past in school, since Ashley is his past childhood friend, or '' EX ''. There is one day that he went berserk after someone brings his past about he confess to a girl but the girl rejected him. He throws chairs and dust bin at him. " Oh sorry, I forgot to bring my phone. Hold on a second. " I open the zip bag, searching my notebook that I use to draw doodles in it in class whenever I''m bored. '' Eh? It''s not here? Maybe it stick to other textbook. '', I flicked the textbooks, there is nowhere to be found.Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. " Sorry, Ashley. I think I left it under my desk. " " Hmm.. You forgot to bring a phone and now you left you''re notebook? Such a carefree person. " She mock. " I''m not like that, in fact! " " Then, I should be going first. Make sure you play Era Orbit Online on 9 pm. " " Since when you register you''re ID card? " I ask. " Remember when I met Nodochi at the train station? After that happen, there''s a game store nearby. " " I never knew that you play online game. " " It''s fun, ya know? " She sit on the bicycle sit, testing the pedals. " Then, I''ll be off! " She paddle away. I looked at Nodochi''s house, smiling. " Where are you, Nodochi? " I ride my bicycle, heading to the school. As I think about it again, I remembered that Nodochi used to have 3 closest friends that he usually hanging out talk about game. Ben, Rachel and Jin.. If I''m correct. Maybe I can ask three of them about Nodochi. I''ve arrived at the front gate. As I walk in, I saw a person who is running circle at the track field. I can''t see well because it''s too far. Maybe it''s James. Every evening, he has running practice among his friends, but today he practicing alone. I walk until reach the bicycle parking spot. The bicycle parking place is near the field. " Wooii! " I shout while waving at James. He noticed a moment, then he run towards my direction. " What is up? Dell? " With a sweat on his face and neck, I start to get disgust. " Umm.. Do you know about Nodochi? " " Nodochi? Oh the dissapeared student, right? No sorry. " " Ohh.. One more thing, have you ever heard Era Orbit Online? " I ask. " Hmm.. The Fantasy with playable roles, right? " " Yeah. " " Yeah, I do. But do not tell anybody. Why do you ask? " " Oh, well.. I heard there''s a huge update in Era Orbit Online at 9. Wanna pair up? " " Yes! " " Then make sure online on 9! " I said. He showed a '' good thumb sign ''. Crap, I almost forgot that I''m here to takemy notebook. I climb the school stairs, a dusty one. Hoping there''s no one here or I''ll get caught by fake accuse. I walk slowly in the school hall, looking 360 degree sharp at everything. '' Class Purple '' Just grab the book and leave! That''s what my mind said. I opened the door, there''s a person who lean against the window. It''s a guy. He turn his view over me, with a tears. '' Why did this guy crying? Wait, isn''t this.. Peter? '' 02 : Something Is Not Right " Umm.. Don''t mind me. I''m just an ordinary person who left his stuff under a desk. Act like there''s no one here. Take you''re time. " I said. Peter quickly wipe his ears using his palms. Shit, I should''ve grab tomorrow. This is where the awkward moment strikes! How do I escape this? " You, you''re name is Dell Sebastian, right? " Peter ask, looking directly at my eyes. " Huh? Me? Y-Yes. I''m Dell Sebastian. Wait, how do you know my full name? " " Just a guess. " He turn his head again, this time his looking at the window nearby him. " You play games, right? " " Yes! I love them! I usually play with my friend, everytime! " Again Dell? Why did I spoil my secrets to a stranger. " Do you play games with you''re siblings? " " Um.. No. I don''t actually have one. I''m the only son in my family. " Peter looked at me again, " Lonely. " The words came out from his mouth strike my heart. You''ve gone too far, Peter! I''ll kick your ass next time! " Is that all? I think we should stop here, if we continue this, I''ll be the one who is feeling depress here. " I said. " Then leave, lousy mate. " He lean against the window, closing his eyes. I swear I''m going to punch this guy! * * * " Mom, I''ll be eating dinner later. I have tons of homeworks to do! " I ran quickly heading to my room. I take of my shoes before opening the door. Throw my bag at the wall, slowly. So that my mom won''t come upstairs and shout at me with her moral words. I take of the charger from my phone, on the desk. I sit on the chair, uncomfortly because it''s already 8:30. I got 30 minutes to prepare my battle equipment though. " Let''s create a group. Maybe it''s easier to sent the message for just one click. " I open myGlobalcord and click '' Create New Group ''. " Ughh, naming things is one of my hatelist. Let''s see. " I keep pressing my phone keyboard randomly so they give me random suggest vocabulary library. Found it. Let''s call it Wrath. SInce Ashley, James and Peter haveGlobalcord, that will be easy. I ask Peter''s friends about hisGlobalcord profile.
Wrath Dell : Guys, ready you''re snacks and headset. In about 10 minutes, Era Orbit Online will launch their new update. James: Don''t worry, Dell. I already pack everything. ( James sent a picture of his gaming desk, which is full of bag of junkfoods. ) Peter: Shut up, unhealthy athlete. Dell, don''t get to excited on a minor update. You look like a 6 year old kid who piss himself because he was too excited riding a rollercoaster. This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Dell: ._. Ashley: Hey, hey chill, we shouldn''t fight. When the game is up, make sure use you''re real name okay? It''s easier to spot. Dell: Okay. James: Roger. Peter: Why should we use our name in online game? What a stupid idea. Dell : Just turn the game on, already. James: Goodluck and see you guys there!
Done announcing. Now, lets turn the game on. I look at the clock, it shows 9 o''clock. Bingo. Let''s do this. I click the icon, a information details pop-up at my screen. I fill everything. Hmm What is this..? *When you click the Verify button, make sure you close you''re eyes and don''t open it until you hear a bing. * Okay? I click on the Verify button, closing my eyes. At the moment, I feel nothing, see nothing, but my heart is racing so fast. I''m quite scared, to be honest. A few minutes later, my entire body feels like it''s going to be sucked. I din''t open my eyes because I was to scared. It feels like you''re skin being vacummed. After the sucking operation done, it sound. * BING * I open my eyes, I look surround. All blank plain white. A message appear infront of me.
Name: Dell Sebastian Username: Dell Age: 16 Gender: Male Role: Kuur / Vertile Click Here for Kuur and Vertile information
What''s the difference between Kuur and Vertile? Oh wait, din''t notice there''s a information about it at the bottom of the message. I click it and another message appear.
Kuuris a role where you can use magic. it dosen''t matter if you''re a human, ogre or a hybrid animals, as long as you''re a Kuur, your good to go. Kuur is where demon and angel posess you''re body. Meaning is you will get angel and demon body, half and half. But becareful, once you''re handle them badly, it will take over your body and you no longer will be able to control it. To use Kuur, you must say " Style " in order to activate you''re Kuur. It will take some time to release Kuur from you''re body. Kuur is used by Gods and Apprentices. Vertileis a role where you can use any weapon that you like with higher damage and accuracy, but not able to use magic. Vertile can''t put their magic into their swords, but if Kuur cooperate with Vertile, Vertile''s weapon will accept the magic and it will double the damage and accuracy. Mostly, Vertile is for strong and has alot of energy in their body because once you touch a weapon, you can feel a high spirit in you''re body. Vertile was made for humans so they can fight gods and monsters and be an unstopable race of humans in order to protect a new world!
Kuur seems more interesting. It''s because they are powers from Gods. For Vertiles, they din''t state that it was from God or any mythical species who creates them. I guess I choose Kuur.

Before I could read the new message, I feel like my skin was tingling and again.. feels like gettingsuck by a huge vacumm cleaner, but this time it hurts. My head starts to spins and trying to forget everything that I do for the past embarassing years. * Zoop * A noise came out of nowhere, I blink for a second, A blank white world turns into a village. It''s a huge village. There''s alot of markets, selling vegetables and armors. It almost looks like a Fantasy game but this time you can see and touch it. I touch one of the wooden stalls, it feels like a real wooden plank. There''s a stall where they sell a pie with curry-cheese. It smells so fucking good that makes my want to steal it. Oh wait, almost forgot that I need to meetup with Ashley and the others. Hoping this first day will be the best! 03 : The Beginning for Spade Mmm, I can''t find Ashley, Peter and James. They should be here, at the Teleport capital. The Teleport capital is so big that can hold 10,000 players. Maybe I should walk and ask some information. Maybe I accidently bump to them? I enter a Info zone. It''s mid-average big house, but contains valuable information. I saw a holographic sign says '' Gods And Apprentices ''. It''s like the message from the blank world. I walk and look closely, the sign seems shows an english translation. " Gods is divided by 2, Angel and Demon. Both of them has their own goal. But to achieve, they need a helper, which is a human. The Gods called one of the helper '' Apprentices ''. The Gods or Era Orbit Online news won''t announce to players who is the Apprentices but to find their own. There are currently 5 players who had powers of Apprentices. Angel god will give the apprentice powers called '' Future ''. Rumors says that once the apprentice look you in the eye and tells you the future that the apprentices saw, it will happen. Besides that, once you caught up with the Apprentices, some of you''re memories will be erase. That''s the power of Future. On Demon''s power, Fate. This power called Fate because once they say about a person that will happen, it will, in 1 day. But both of this power has their own weakness. If a person''s future will die tomorrow, Fate can say that you will die 30 years from now. But if Fate said it first, Future can change it. That''s the main power. The side power is remain unknown... Man, that was a long explainations you got there. So what about my Kooru? Isn''t there an information about it? I haven''t try to unleash my powers, though. As I heading to the exit door, I accidently bump to a person who''s wearing a hood. " Uhh.. Sorry. " The person apologize and continue his walk. What a cool looking hood. He has a gun? I never knew this game has some ol'' west style cowboy. Okay, back to the mission. Where should I start searching?
Peter " Mmm, too bright. ". I block the sun hitting directly my eyes using my palm. Why the sun looks bigger in the game, plus it''s really hot here. This is such a tired thing. Where am I right now? I click on my menu setting, click on the map. Hmm... Teleport capital. Why there''s a huge tower with crystal top of it at the middle of the place, plus it''s huge. For James, maybe he wants to explore. Ohh talk about James, I suppose to meet him here. Maybe I should start a guild first, but where. Is it on the menu settings?
* Setting * Help * Friend List * Inventory * Relationship & Status
Wait, something missing. I''m not sure what it is. Well, I guess I need to walk and searching those dweebs. I shouldn''t use my real name, this is embarassing. I saw a old looking tavern infront of me, there''s many people in it.I come in. I talk to the head villager who appear pasting a quest submission on a board, an easy quest because you know, begineers.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. " Hey Begineers, you here for a new quest? " said the head villager. " Umm... Then what''s the point I''m being here then? " " I''m just messing with ya. Go take a look at the board which one you''re interested with. " He pointed his thumb at the back of the counter, there''s a huge quest board. I look on the quest board. There''s alot of quest, they give an informations about the quest and also a picture? Pretty modern. Hmm, '' Mining Goblin Cave, reward will be RM 5000 ''. That is alot of money for begineers! " Old man, I choose the Mining Goblin Cave. " " Got that, kid. Now sit there, I''ll be preparing the registrations. " said the head villager. There''s alot of people here, I don''t want attract their attentions though. I sit on the very left side where there''s a young girl. It looks like Ashley from the side. Maybe I should not admonish her. What if that''s not Ashley? I keep thinking negative things in my mind right now. " Hey, pretty slut. Wanna come to my slutty guild? We make you feel good and worth golds there. " A bald, tough look, black player shows up, holding a beer. He seems drunk. The girl ignores for a few seconds. " Hey... You listening? " The black bald continues. " Gross. " The young girl with a hood replied. Forgot to mention that she''s wearing a hood. " What did you say? " " Go away, gross-pervert. " " You can keep talking until you taste my d- " The bald guy is about to touch her on the shoulder. Suddenly, the young girl lift up her sword, slice the black bald guy''s hand. The bleed won''t stop and it flows so fast. " I told you already, go away. " The girl kick the bald guy''s head and put one of her feet on the guy''s head. I never knew a girl could do that, well it''s just a game. A shiny thing distract my view of watching the fight, I look at it. It''s a emblem. A diamond shape emblem, I think I''ve seen it somewhere. " You''ll pay for this, soon! " The bald guy gets up and ran away with his gang. I come forward, bravely asking who is she. " Name? " Direct questions from me to her. " Huh? Fumy. You? " " Peter. Where can I join a guild? " " You can join mine though, but it''s still new. Can you keep it up? " " What do you think am I? " " Okay, that''s settles. Welcome to Spade, Peter. Here''s you''re emblem. " Fumy handed over a emblem with a spade shape. This time, the spade emblem has purple colour in it, almost looks like a sapphire. That was fast... I guess this is a good start for me, but I don''t know yet what will happen afterwards. Since I join this guild, maybe I can get to know about Spade history. Every guild has Sweet and Bitter memories. " Hey Fumy, who''s the leader of Spade? " I ask her, both of us leaving the quest tavern. " Our leader? He''s on the other side now. " " What do you mean, on the other side? " " Soon you get use to this guild, you know our main objectives, Peter. Spade don''t recruit players just to be rich or want to be a Hall Of Fame, but want to save a person who is nothing to other players. " I don''t really get what Fumy tries to say, but the person that she mention, must be dead and wanted to reincarnate? Apology and Maybe Taking a Break Hello my fellow readers of Spade. I''m Putera Mizane, an author for the novel would like to apologizefor those who don''t understand what is the main point of the story, or in every chapters.
