In the end, it took a lot of convincing for Noah to finally stop Aria's energetic requests. He didn't exactly stop it though; he only postponed it till they were level 20 and they had access to more skills in the game.

Despite the fact that it was just a few days in the outside world since he became stuck inside the game, he could not help but feel like it was so long already.

Being in the presence of Genevieve's motherly energy and care, Benjamin's goofy energy, Aria's robust energy, and Caleb's taciturn feel, Noah felt at home again. He didn't know how much he missed their energy till he was away from it.
They took very little time to get up to date with each other, and then they presented the ultimate question, what was the next step forward?
