Mystical Awakening Online: SotPM [Part 1] (CPN)

Chapter 77: Safe Return

"I'm so glad you're alright, what happened?"

I was shocked speechless. I've never been that close before.

"Oh sorry."

She let's go of my hand. I felt slightly disappointed.

"Sorry, you surprised me. Anyway, I won it was a close fight, but I won"

"Wait what, no you should go now!"

"What do you mean?"
