Chapter 108: Message.
Author note:
Extra Chapter for reaching the 3rd goal of 200 Power Stones!
I never thought we would go this far and I’m starting to regret going this challenge.
You like to torture me that much? Ok. Get me 300 Power Stones or 70 Golden Tickers and I will release a 4th extra Chapter!
=============================================
Lara came out of the bathroom and Mark went in to take a quick shower, or so it looked to everyone else. Once the door closed behind him, he pulled his pants down, sat on the toilet opened his inventory, and looked at the listed item. After a moment of hesitation, he selected two items and took them out, one in each hand.
’.... How...?’
In his right hand, Mark held his phone. The device survived the disaster Malarak and his spawn had caused, but that left it in a terrible state. In his left hand, he was holding the same device. An exact copy down to the tiniest of cracks on the screen protector.
He pressed the power button on both devices and the screens lit up. Both had the same default lock-screen wallpaper. The only difference between the two was that the original was empty while the copy had a single notification.
[Friend: Hide it]
The message arrived seconds after the device dropped inside the earbud box and Mark made the split-second decision to store it in his inventory. Even though he had no idea what the purpose behind it was, just knowing that there was one made him adamant about learning what it was.
