  [6:00 p.m.] TheAce sends friend request to BlizzardQueen

  [6:07 p.m.] BlizzardQueen accepts friend request

  [TheAce//6:10 p.m.] Hey, just wanted to say, your avatar looks amazing.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:11 p.m.] Awh, thank you. I spent a lot of time working on it. Your pretty low level, did you just start today?

  [TheAce//6:12 p.m.] Yeah, my friend wanted me to play the game with him, so here I am. You seem to be experienced, how long have you been playing?

  [BlizzardQueen//6:13 p.m.] I know I may sound like a nerd, but I’ve been playing Legends of Atlas for about 3 months now. Basically it’s been my summer thing.

  [TheAce//6:14 p.m.] Oh that’s cool, you're pretty high level for someone who’s been playing for so little haha.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:15 p.m.] I know right? No mean to brag, but I was able to get into the fourth strongest guild in the game lol. They helped me with the leveling process a bit.

  [TheAce//6:16 p.m.] Damn, how were you able to get in?

  [BlizzardQueen//6:17 p.m.] Well you know, I do get some advantages in the gaming world, being a girl and all.

  [TheAce//6:18 p.m.] Oh, so you are a girl?

  [BlizzardQueen//6:19 p.m.] Is my avatar a girl?

  [TheAce//6:19 p.m.] I mean…yeah, but you’ve been playing this game for three months, I know that you know that guys use girl avatars all the time.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:20 p.m.] Lol, you're not wrong. But yeah I’m a girl, assuming that’s one of the reasons you messaged me.

  [TheAce//6:21 p.m.] Not at all, I really did think your avatar looked really cool. And besides it would be beneficial for me to befriend a high level anyway lol.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:22 p.m.] Sooooo you're using me for personal gain.

  [TheAce//6:23 p.m.] No no, that’s not what I mean at all. I’m just trying to say I didn’t just add you because you're a girl.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:24 p.m.] Relax, I’m just messing with you, but I am a little bored right now. So lucky for you, I’m willing to do some quest with you right now.

  [TheAce//6:25 p.m.] Ok, I’ll send you a party invite.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:26 p.m.] Ok, I got it. So where too?

  [TheAce//6:27 p.m.] To Evergreen Forest we go, I need to kill some cursed imps.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:28 p.m.] Well I can just one shot them if you want, how do you feel about that?

  This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

  [TheAce//6:29 p.m.] Nah, I want to do it on my own. It’s more rewarding.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:30 p.m.] Ew, your one of those people who love the actual work of leveling up.

  [TheAce//6:31 p.m.] Lol, call me old fashioned, but yeah I do.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:32 p.m.] Well, nothing wrong with that, but what do you expect me to do? Just watch you?

  [TheAce//6:33 p.m.] Woah, you should be lucky to even witness someone as great as me lay dust to these creatures.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:34 p.m.] Ooooo, you're right, you're so amazing. Let me bow to you, the all powerful haha.

  [TheAce//6:35 p.m.] Lmao, I’m glad you realize the respect I deserve.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:36 p.m.] Yeah... but in all honesty it is kind of relaxing to see low levels start out. Gives you a bit of nostalgia.

  [TheAce//6:37 p.m.] Yeah I suppose it does. But hey, who are you calling a low level? I might be at a low level now, but give me a bit of time and I’ll be stronger than you.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:38 p.m.] Is that a challenge? You do know I’m only 20 levels shy of being the highest level in the game right?

  [TheAce//6:39 p.m.] Doesn’t matter. Your level 80 right? I’ll reach that level before you reach level 100.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:40 p.m.] Are you a cocky little brat in real life too?

  [TheAce//6:41 p.m.] My stance on that is that you're only cocky if you can’t back it up. I call what I have confidence.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:42 p.m.] There's an extra thin line between those two traits that you're dancing on kid.

  [TheAce//6:43 p.m.] Maybe lol, but why do you assume I’m a kid? I can be an adult for all you know.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:44 p.m.] Well, you just remind me of someone, that’s all, and that someone is a kid lol. And don’t even ask, not in the mood to tell.

  [TheAce//6:45 p.m.] Wasn’t even going to go there, but it’s an honor that I remind you of that person...unless you don’t like that person.

  [BlizzardQueen//6:46 p.m.] I admire the attempt of trying to pry a bit more, but unfortunately for you it’ll stay just like that, an attempt. Maybe in the future kid.

  [TheAce//6:47 p.m.] Haha, can’t blame a guy for trying.

  [TheAce//6:50 p.m.] Hey, you specified the future, so does that mean you accept the challenge?

  [BlizzardQueen//7:00 p.m.] Ugh, fine. You're lucky I’m so competitive. But I don’t have to do this, so I want a reward when I win.

  [TheAce//7:05 p.m.] You say something like that and have the AUDACITY to call me cocky?

  [BlizzardQueen//7:06 p.m.] Oh whatever, tell me the reward or you can play this random little game with someone else.

  [TheAce//7:07 p.m.] Hm, I really have no idea. What exactly do you want?

  [BlizzardQueen//7:08 p.m.] I want any favor of my choice, don’t worry I won’t ask you for stuff in real life or anything. I just can’t think of anything right now, but a favor can be anything I want, I might change my mind in the future of what I want so asking for a favor is the best possible thing to ask for. Don’t you think?

  [TheAce//7:09 p.m.] Wow, that is a good reason to ask for a favor, I never thought of it like that.

  [BlizzardQueen//7:10 p.m.] Woah, you act like you're surprised. My brilliant intelligence must have startled you, you can back out anytime you want.

  [TheAce//7:11 p.m.] Nah, no way. I accept your terms. I guess whoever wins gets any favor they want from the other person.

  [BlizzardQueen//7:12 p.m.] It’s a deal. Don’t even try to weasel out of it.

  [TheAce//7:16 p.m.] No way I’m a man of my word, I’m already level 2. That’s what I call progress.

  [BlizzardQueen//7:20 p.m.] Lol, the early levels are always the easiest. Is this your first mmorpg or something?

  [TheAce//7:21 p.m.] No way, mmorpgs are my childhood. I’ve played quite a few.

  [BlizzardQueen//7:22 p.m.] Interesting, well so have I. I don’t know, I just always enjoyed them.

  [TheAce//7:24 p.m] What’s not to enjoy about them, you can play as cool characters who fight for justice. And they’re so time-consuming that you can never get bored.

  [BlizzardQueen//7:25 p.m.] Maybe you're right. And listen, just because we’re doing this little challenge or whatever, doesn’t mean you can’t ask me for help in a dungeon or something.

  [TheAce//7:26 p.m.] Oh, thanks. I was hoping you’d say that.

  [BlizzardQueen//7:27 p.m.] And why is that?

  [TheAce//7:30 p.m.] You're just fun to talk to that’s all.

  [BlizzardQueen//7:40 p.m.] Wow dude, talk about corny.

  [TheAce//7:42 p.m.] Lol, yeah whatever. I already know you feel the same way or else you wouldn’t offer to help.

  [BlizzardQueen//7:43 p.m.] I just felt bad for you kid ;).

  [TheAce//7:44 p.m.] Lol, well continue to feel bad for me then ;).

  [BlizzardQueen//8:00 p.m.] Well, my guild’s doing a guild battle soon, so I’ll text you one day to check in on your leveling.

  [TheAce//8:05 p.m.] We should do daily checkups, that way we can know that we both haven’t forgotten the challenge.

  [BlizzardQueen//8:06 p.m.] Sounds like a plan, let’s set a specific time. How about 6 p.m. every night.

  [TheAce//8:07 p.m.] That’s kind of early, how about 8?

  [BlizzardQueen//8:08 p.m.] So sleep isn’t a thing for you? Fine, a daily checkup at 8.

  [TheAce//8:09 p.m.] Haha, well I’ll cya tomorrow then. While you're doing guild battles I’ll be leveling up. I need to use any advantage I can get.

  [BlizzardQueen//8:10 p.m.] Lol, use everything you got. Your loss is inevitable.

  [TheAce//8:11 p.m.] Atleast give me some hope, you're as cold as your name.

  [BlizzardQueen//8:12 p.m.] Well let me leave you frozen until tomorrow. Ciao.
