~~~(POV: Saliandra Orvello)~~~

~~~(Location: The Gleem Library, The Underground City Of Maero, Desert, The Continent Of Alforza)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:45 AM)~~~

There is a warmth wrapped around me... My eyes are heavy from exhaustion, and I almost want to keep sleeping. Now that I've cleared the Trial, I'd rather know what I've gained from such a challenge. It takes a moment to open my eyes.

After I get them open, and my vision clears up. I see an old dusty ceiling. I'm wrapped in a blanket that's keeping me warm and comfortable. I slowly lean up and rub my head.

"Look who's finally awake. I was starting to wonder if you'd sleep the entire morning away. But I wouldn't blame you. Clearing a Trial Legendary in Grade is an incredibly difficult undertaking. I'm proud of you, Sally."

The voice of Cera fills my ears, and I see him sitting at a desk in the room we're in. It's a very old and unkept room. There are cracks and rotten wood on every wall. I watch him stand up and make his way to me. Holding out his hand to help me up.

It's been months since I've seen Cera, let alone touch him. I don't waste a second, and I lean into his chest and wrap my arms around him. Taking a deep breath of his scent, and releasing.

His arms wrap around me in response. I don't know how much time has passed while I was in the Trial.

"How much time has passed on this side? It's been almost 3 months for me. I feel like my internal clock is all screwed up..."

He pulls away from me and looks at me with a smile. It's a smile that has multiple meanings behind it. I don't know what he's about to tell me about the time, but I have a small feeling that I might not like it. It's in my gut, y'know...

"Almost 9 hours have passed since you were in the Trial. Looks like the time dilation within the Trial was far greater than any Trial I've heard of or experienced. I don't know if that makes you happy or not, but that's the time."

9 hours... That's all the time that's passed...

I'm both happy and mad. Happy that I wasn't apart from Cera for months in the real world, and mad that I spent almost 3 months in the Trial while only 9 hours passed out here. It feels like I've been short-changed.

I take a seat back on the bed and run a hand through my hair. Cera takes a seat next to me. His calm energy and presence is something I've missed so much.

All my worries and stresses disappear as I lean over against him. His arm wraps around me again, and I melt into his form.

"If you don't mind sharing, what'd you win from the Trial? I'm excited to find out. I was tempted to wake you up, but I figured you could use a couple of hours to sleep."

Ahh, that's right. I almost forgot about the rewards from the Trial. I open the Players Interface, and I'm shown a screen. This one is made visible so Cera can see it too. His eyes are already on it and reading. I think I should catch up.

[Congratulations!]

[You've cleared The Trial Of The Legendary Ice Magic User Xeelia!]

[Rewards: Legendary Ice Magic from The Book Of Xeelia!]

[The Book Of Xeelia has now been added to your Inventory and can be read and viewed at any time!]

[You've gained 15 Levels from clearing a Legendary Grade Trial all by yourself!]

[Your Class, Winters Wrath, has gone up an entire Grade due to new magics!]

[Your Class Grade is now Legendary!]

[All Stats, Active Skills, and Passive Skills have increased in power by 2500 percent!]

"Wow..."

All I can do is react the way that's appropriate. There is so much I've gained from that Trial. But most importantly. I did it on my own. Without the help of anyone else. Yes, I wanted Cera's help. But I still did it alone.

"Well, that's another Player with a Legendary Class. Congratulations really are in order, Sally."

Before I can respond to his compliment, there is a Worldwide Announcement. And I can't help but cringe a bit after hearing it.

[Worldwide Announcement: The Player known as Saliandra Orvello has upgraded her Class from Legacy to Legendary! She's the first Player to ever do this! Massive reputation boost for all Kingdoms and Empires are rewarded!]

[Worldwide Announcement: The Old Faction Of Nobles within The Kingdom Of Elves has issued a bounty of two Legendary Weapons and a piece of Legendary armor for the return of Saliandra Orvello!]

[Worldwide Announcement: The biological Father of Saliandra Orvello is offering a 50 million Gold prize to the person who brings him his Daughter. If they can do it within the next two months, he'll Give them two Legendary Weapons.]

These are some of the most insane announcements I've ever seen in my entire life. They almost make no sense. I look at Cera, and he has a cocked eyebrow.

"Looks like you'll have people coming after you, Sally. But don't worry, nothing is going to happen to you. I won't let it, and you're more than powerful enough to protect yourself."

I am very strong now... But it's nice to be cared for and pampered from time to time. I'm still a woman, and I love it when Cera treats me like I'm his precious someone.

"What do you think we should do now?"

The idiocy of my question dawns on me the moment it leaves my lips. I remember that we were heading to the higher floors of The Gleem Library for the Dungeon up there. But it's been so long since I was here, I kinda forgot.

But instead of Cera reminding me. He leans over and locks his lips with mine. Not overthinking things. I do the same and sink into the kiss. It's been so fucking long since I felt this...

He pulls away, but I accidentally follow his lips in desperation before pulling back in self-control. He smiles at my reaction, and I can't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Since it's been so long for you, I figured we could share this bed before we did anything."

He doesn't need to say anything else.

~~~(Time: 11:39 AM)~~~

Sally is resting on top of me, and I'm stroking her hair. We just went at it for more than two hours. While the room isn't a place where it's nice to do such things. Thanks to how enthusiastic she was, I don't think either of us had a problem.

"You know, it's almost noon, and I told Taaro I'd have you up by then. She's supposed to bring us food before we continue going up."

She raises her head, and a nice smile is what greets me. Her hands rest on my cheeks as she leans down and kiss me.

"I'm pretty hungry after all this physical activity... Let's get out of this room."

We take a few minutes getting up and out of the room. After sitting on the couches near the railing, Taaro shows up a few minutes later. She looks at Sally and makes her way toward her.

"I want to congratulate you on gaining The Book Of Xeelia. It's a Legendary Grade Magic Book filled with spells for you to learn. As well as Xeelia's story. But we don't know any more about the book than that."

It's interesting. I'm curious about what's in the book, but that belongs to Sally. I'll bring it up at some point, but not anytime soon.
