Book 1, Volume 3
Chapter 16
[ The answer is on the tip of your tong... fingers ;) ]
Thinking about Anari's tip, Michael looked down at his hands, scrunched up his cute face for a moment, before it dawned on him, “Oh, that's right, I can use this...” he said as his face 'unscrunched' while looking at the rod in his hand.
With a look of steel determination, Michael got in a stance, looked up at his target, and wound his arm back, rod in hand, like a pitcher on the mound.
[ Oye! Oye! Oye!... Really Wylla?... is that really your answer?... ]
Michael froze while in his throwing stance, and thought things over again. If I throw it and hit it, the rod seems heavy enough that it should knock the fruit down... … “Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. What if my rod gets stuck up in the tree when I throw it? Then I won't be able to climb up and get it. Thanks for the heads up Anari!”
“Ah ha haha ha...” “bwa ha ha haha...” “Tee hee hee hee..”
Ugh, there's that laughing from above again. “Since, throwing my rod isn't the answer, what else...” Michael spoke out loud to himself as his golden honey eyes scanned the area, then lit up as if to say 'Eureka!' when they spotted the Royal Spider Lotus bushes guarding the Oryn tree.
Michael lightly swung the rod to and fro as he began to approach the thorny guards. The thorny guards began to shake like mice in front of a small adorable ragamuffin kitten as they heard the much too cute little girl that was getting closer and closer muttering, “If I bash those thorny bushes apart I'll then have plenty of sticks to throw at the fruit...”
His mutterings and intentions were greeted by another round of mirthful laughter. As well as another exasperated message from Anari:
[You're killing me smal...err... Wylla! … I guess being obtuse isn't just a giant trait. Now think Wylla... if only you had something that could shoot down that fruit like a slingshot... or a... come on... I know you can guess it...]
He once again stopped what he had been preparing to do and thought things over. He once again looked down at the rod in his hand mumbling “... something that shoots like a slingshot... something that shoots like... oh, I got it. My wand!” He smiled like a contestant giving the winning answer on a game show.
“Thanks, Anari! I don't know why I'm being so 'muddleheaded' but thanks for helping.”
[You're welcome Wylla. Your 'muddleheadedness' is probably due to the great number of changes that you have gone through recently. Worry not, I'm sure things will get better with time :) ]
Michael stood in deep thought scratching his head for a moment, then lifted his rod up, and called out, “Transform Wand Form!...” “....nothing... okay, Wand Form Transformation!...”
[Think Wylla... think back to the words you said to summon rod form.]
“That's easier said than done... I was in the heat of battle... wondering how to summon... rod form...”
A soft musical rain of divine words and laughter came down from above again: “ooh, I really thought she was going to say it...” “... so close...” “.... don't give up little girlie...” “... she's so cute...” “.. adorable, I want to put her in my pocket...” "... Oye! Oye! Oye! No one's taking my sweet little Wylla... I'll fight you for her..."
A shiver went down Michael's spine as he bunched up his shoulders, then decided to shake it off and pretend that he didn't hear what he heard. "Moving on...." He continued to stand there, hand on chin and forehead rumpled, “... so how am I suppose to summon wand form?...”
As soon as Michael finished uttering the triggering keywords: “summon wand form” Oryn energy quickly converged, then flowed through him into the rod, which then transformed back into its wand form.
“Yosh! I did it.”
[ I always knew you could Wylla... eventually. Now for the hard part... this could take a while, but on the bright side, it'll be great training. Pro tip: Pay attention to your Oryn energy, always make sure you have at least half in the pool in case more Furbees or other loot pinatas decide to show up. ]
“Ooh... good point. Will do Anari.” Michael then spent half an hour circling the tree, searching for Oryn fruits. He spotted 11 of them, but about half of them seemed like they would be too hard to shoot down.
“Well, since I need the training, let's see how many I can knock down.”
“Seed Burst!”
BUZZZ...
"Ugh! Just when I was about to get started... Fine, come at me if you're looking to die!"
I greatly wonder about that
... His "muddleheadness" that somehow effect his entire personality will it really go away?
Imagine he logout of the game... He is back being a male with a giant body..yet acting like a cute little Loli........Oh God what abomination is that!?
That would be quite a scene to see...
... as for what'll happen in the end... 
i think he'll change IRL as well.... why else would he eat and drink mysterious substances
Warriors, come out and plaaaay.
Thx for the cappy
You're welcome
I think the mc mind blew away lol
Yup, yup... poor Michael... it's as if something is... oh, I better not go there...
(mmm... cookie...)
@Storymask ohhh I swear your teasing !!!!
@thancit
... 
... 
(Yay! I got my comfy chair back...)
Ahahaha, Wylla! Throwing her weapon capable of shooting is first thing she think. Ahahaha.
Thank you for the good novel.
me when I throw my gun instead of shooting it in superhot
@supermonkey12345123
Isn't that the point of the heavy gun?
Thnx for the chapter.
Btw, those voices should be from fairies right?
More cutie bees came
You're welcome and thanks for reading
As for your question... those are the voices of various Gods and Goddesses watching Wylla from above in the unseen divine Box Seats. Since Wylla is currently in the starter area that's between the mortal realm and the lower divine realm created by the young Goddess Sylvenori (Wylla's in-game Divine Mother) their voices are able to leak into Havenscent Meadow (Michael's starting area).
They are able to watch Wylla this way and/or through one of the channels on their divine Livestreams... making them a bit voyeuristic I'd say.
As for the Furbees, it's round 2 and this time it's personal!
On a side note, my niece just sent me 2 drawings! The first one is of the Royal Spider Lotus wand which came out great... just need to change the color from red to purple then it's set.
And the second one is of the way Wylla will look on the book cover. She is working on this when she's not doing her college homework. I'm really happy with the way she drew Wylla, all she needs to do is fix the wand color and Wylla's part in the book cover will be done... granted the rest of the book cover will still need completing but she already has the layout so it should be finished in the near future.
@Storymask Divine livestream you say… so you were referring to that when they were given permission to stream their playgame?
Btw, the new drawing is one of the best I have seen so far (Royalroadl's picture)
You should give your niece more things -3-
If not I feel as if you are enslaving her :p
PS: Thanks for the chapter.
PSS: Congrats for #3 in druids (Even though there are not many with that tag :p)
@Yuezu Divine Livestream is a special channel that only those of divine blood can view setup by the Goddess Lokaini, as for the rest of the mortals, they get to watch the edited recordings on a different Livestream network which is what the contract was for. This is done so that streams aren't 100% Live and certain secrets can be hidden til solved.
For instance, if a person or group finds a new dungeon then that will be kept secret until they conquer the dungeon or decide to share it with the world... which isn't something I would do because it would lower the chance of being the first to clear a dungeon and receiving the rewards that go with doing so.
As for the picture I have the full-size version up on my website over at Storymask.com under Our Illustrator's Box top menu link... she really did a fantastic job. She's working on changing the color of the wand to purple and adding a couple of onyx thorns. btw The thorns, though razor-sharp, won't hurt Wylla since it's soulbound to her.
I also finished up my Writer's Resource Corner that has a lot of links that I use while writing... I find them helpful and maybe others will too.
As for my niece's payment... hmmm... I'll increase it to... two slices of cheesecake... even if that hurts
... I'll do it.
You're welcome for the chapter. Thanks for reading and well... as for the #3 spot... I guess that kind of does give her class away a bit... but I'm going to twist the class up a bit... and that's all I have to say about that.

@Storymask I see, I understand now. Btw, if she can hear those Gods or Goddesses, then does that mean that other live streamers can also hear them? I mean, only those gods that are in their corresponding live streams not others.
Also, I think I have been getting better at having you give spoilers without intention through what I say... teehee
@Yuezu She can only lightly hear them at the moment cuz of the location of her starter area... as for spoilers... hmm... nothing definitive... but a little clarity as to his current predicament which may or may not lead to possible hints of what may or may not come... or something or other like that... I think. (I mean things can get a bit confusing when Gods, Goddesses, Virtual Worlds, Multiverses, and unknown phenomenons allegedly mix.)
