Alex grabs Menchi’s hand, clearly worried as he says, “It’s time!”
… … …
Suddenly, everything goes dark, and Alex finds himself in a familiar void. To his shock, his hand is no longer holding Menchi’s.
Out of sheer panic, Alex screams, “MENCHI!!”
Fuck, where is she? Did it not work? SHIT! Alex’s mind races as he tries to understand what happened.

Alex suddenly sees Menchi floating next to him and immediately rejoices, pulling her into a hug. “It worked!” he says, his voice filled with pure joy.
Menchi, completely baffled by everything happening around her, returns the hug hesitantly. Her eyes wander into the void, clearly trying to process the situation.
Suddenly, the darkness around them fades, and Alex, along with Menchi, finds himself standing in a familiar space—his private room in the Fantasy Realm tutorial.
[Welcome back, Host, new Subhost, and subjugated parasite. Congratulations on surviving even this particularly difficult mission. I am very pleased to be assigned to you. Despite the rocky start, you have turned out to be incredibly competent and frankly, lucky as well.]
“Hi, 1337, glad to be back! Hehehe, of course, I succeeded. I’m so damn glad to be back! This is Menchi.” Alex’s grin widens, but then his tone shifts as he asks, “And what the hell do you mean by subjugated parasite? Is it Mustrano?”
He activates Mustrano’s Malice Mauler lvl 3, and the claw appears, moving curiously as it scans the room.
“This is so weird, I feel like we’ve traveled to an entirely different place. This room feels ancient like it’s steeped in some kind of timelessness,” Menchi says, clearly confused.
“Well, Menchi, Mustrano, wait until you see the rest,” Alex says with excitement. “First of all, welcome to the Fantasy Realm! The voice you’re hearing is my friend and personal system, 1337. I think it’s best if I explain everything now.”
[My name is FR-1337. Please don’t forget essential details, Host.]
Alex sighs, pausing for a moment. Yep, things are back to normal, I guess.
