Atticus's Odyssey: Reincarnated Into A Playground novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Arcade

Stepping through the entrance of the arcade building, Atticus and Ember found themselves greeted by a rather unexpected sight – the spacious hall was surprisingly vacant. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Their gazes swept across the surroundings, settling on a clerk stationed behind the front desk. The presence of the two visitors elicited an internal realization from the clerk 'Ravensteins!', she thought.

She swiftly composed herself, replacing her surprise with a respectful demeanor.

With a formal and courteous greeting, she addressed them, "Good morning, young master, my lady. How may I assist you today?"

Atticus met the clerk's gaze with an expression that revealed little, his demeanor enigmatic. "We'd like to play a game. We'd like our privacy please" he replied evenly.

'He's handsome! Too bad he's just a kid,' she thought, her professionalism remaining intact. Outwardly, she maintained her composed countenance, replying with practiced grace. "Certainly, young master. I'll give you the best VIP room. How many hours would you like to book it for?"

"Five should be enough," Atticus responded succinctly.

With a subtle nod, the clerk continued her role seamlessly. "That'll be 500 credits for both of you, young master."

One of the guards approached the front desk and promptly settled the payment.

These ancient symbols pulsed with an otherworldly energy, promising a journey beyond the ordinary.

Combining the art of runic crafting with advanced mechanics, the game pods formed a bridge between reality and imagination. Designed for comfort, the plush seats seemed to mold to their bodies, creating a sense of cocooned luxury. Soft, ethereal light emitted by the embedded runes bathed the surroundings, infusing the space with a soothing ambiance.

As they settled into their seats, Atticus and Ember donned the headsets. The runes seamlessly merged with cutting-edge technology, establishing a direct link between their minds and the virtual world.
