I glanced at the unchanging screen of my stats panel before dismissing it with a shrug. The damn thing seemed to be just for show anyway.

Oh well...we are playtesting...it probably needs some fixes...

I shrugged and then ran a hand through my black soaked hair. I was sporting a pair of white underwear shorts, having discarded my uniform completely.

Strangely enough, I didn't feel embarrassed but instead, I just felt so at peace.

Currently, I was seating on the shore of the tranquil lake that I had found a few hours ago; my feet were touching the water sending slight ripples through it which each movement.

A few hours ago...right? Yeah, right! Right!

I nodded my head to affirm the thought and then turned to the surface of the vast lake, the waterfall was roaring quietly in the distance.

All 25 of my classmates, I excluded, where inside it. Some were playing in it; some were chilling while some were engaging in questionable activities but I didn't seem too bothered.

Doesn't matter, we are technically on vacation.

 I glanced over to my girlfriend, Kansola, she seemed to be playing with her friends. They were excited, playing around the lake and splashing droplets of water in various directions.

As I watched them, I noticed something.

Wow...was water always like that...?

It seemed that even though water splashed in a certain position, the lake still appeared tranquil; no ripple could cause the lake to lose its calm.

Must be a glitch in the game...or maybe its because I just haven't been to the beach in awhile...

I simply ignored that fact, turning away from her and then looking up at the sun.

It seemed hazy for some reason, I lingered for a moment, a hand over my eyes and then turned away with a shrug.

Whatever, it's not good to look at the sun anyway...I could get blind...

And I'd lose my mogging streak...

With a sigh, I rose wanting to leave the lake. I wanted to explore other parts of the woods but then...

I glanced back at the pond; a hint of temptation was present in my eyes.

"Maybe...I can go later..."

With that, I dove into the tranquil surface of the lake once more.

...

"It's still like this...?"

I let out a disappointed sigh when I viewed my status panel. It was pretty much the same as it had been since we came here, which was a few hours ago.

"And here I thought having a system in a fantasy world would be all interesting...", I muttered as I hovered over the lake's tranquil surface.

Well...at least being able to use magic one day is exciting...!

A smile crept to my face.

I was a devoted fan of anime, especially...isekai.

I just always felt exhilarated at the thought of being transported into a different world. I thought that I'd never experience it in my lifetime but alas! It seemed God had other plans.

It's probably for a short time anyway...

I thought wistfully as I took in the breathtaking view of the waterfall descending into the pristine pond.

"So beautiful...", I whispered softly.

"Hmm-Hmm...", I heard a cheeky voice from my side.

I turned around to the source of the voice and was greeted by a plump figure with tan skin dressed in a white singlet and black shorts. Her generous figure was largely exposed due to how wet she was; her sizable chest and supple ass were on display.

It was my beautiful girlfriend, Ayarr, who I had started courting with a month ago.

I took a good look at her and then looked away with a cough, a red tint was evident on my face.

Oh...I forgot her for a sec...

"Ah sorry, I was just admiring the lake...you know...", I spoke in a slightly subdued tone.

"Oh, don't worry it's fine...", she trailed off as her eyes wandered over my body, after a while she bit her lip.

Ayooo?!

Hol'up...it...probably isn't what am thinking...

I gulped and then spoke, "Ayarr...I really have to say that those clothes suit you nicely."

"Oh stop, you've said that before...", she said as she held her face.

I raised an eyebrow.

I did...?

Come to think of it...I've been forgetting things...oh well...must be the anime I bing-watched last night...

I shrugged at the thought and then looked at her, "What do you think about this game, Ayarr?"

She seemed slightly surprised but then shrugged and then said, "Well, I think...it's good..."

She looked down at the surface of the water as if watching her reflection, a small smile was present on her face, "I've never really played VR games before so...I can't really compare..."

Ah, right...I forgot she's a bookworm...

I laughed lightly, closing the gap between us.

She looked at me with a pout, "Why're you laughing?"

"Nothing...", I said as I wrapped my hands around her waist and pulled her closer, my other arm raised her chin so that her face was parallel to mine. I looked down at her lips and then her eyes.

Her face was as red as a tomato and her eyes showed a hint of acceptance but her body seemed to be resisting.

So pure...

In our school, Ayarr was hailed as one of the best students in Kreiss. Excellent grades, excellent character and discipline, she had it all...well...except sports but that's beside the point. She always had her head in her books so...she isn't really knowledgeable about this stuff.

She's very intelligent though, only Vicki and one other person...could match her...

I frowned, who...?

Ayarr who had been waiting for a kiss, stopped when she saw my face. She panicked, "I-is something wrong?"

I pondered for a moment, frowned and then shook my head; a smile replacing my expression.

"No... it's nothing...I was just admiring the lake and your sexy outfit."

She blushed and looked away, "Thank you..."

That 'Thank you...' seemed like she had been awaiting a compliment for a while.

...

I stared at the interface before me, once again.

Nothing has changed...

I sighed and then dismissed it. I looked around me, the view of my classmates all playing in the pond put me at ease.

Well, at least this water is a solace...

I thought as I took a handful and poured it over my face. The streams of the displaced water, strolled down my face and then down my body; I was currently wearing a white singlet with pink panties, which was rather embarrassing but luckily, Seba came to my rescue earlier.

A red blush made its way to my face and I sunk deeper into the lake, trying to hide my face.

Seba...

The image of Seba's bare body, his skin glistening in the pond, exposed and only coated by a red pair of beach shorts wandered into my mind.

Ugh...I want him...

My heart began to pound faster in my chest as I thought about him, and inadvertently, I begun to swim towards his direction. I kept my head slightly below the water and nimbly made my way towards him.

Strangely, I had gained the ability to swim despite having no collection of having learned this skill.

I shook my head to get rid of the stray thought and crept towards him. My thirst for him seemed to be increasing the closer I got.

Seba! Come to me!

I swam faster to his position, he was currently talking with Dex and Dola, their conversation seemed thrilling.

I swam faster, faster and faster, until...

BWOOSH!

"Ah!"

The sound of rushing water suddenly became louder, leaving me disoriented. I jolted violently and momentarily lost composure but that was all it took...and suddenly I plunged into the depths of the lake.

BURBLE! BURBLE!

Air escaped my mouth as I began to drown in the seemingly tranquil lake.

"H-he-!", my cry for help was drowned by the rushing water and slowly I felt a fear gripping my heart. The fear of death.

I struggled against the current, driven mad by fear. I frantically tore at the water but the lake remained tranquil, refusing to move.

SOMEBODY HELP!

I cried out internally, as I struggled against the unmoving current.

"Mmph! Mmph!! Mmph!!!"

After a while of struggle, a feeling of lethargy slowly began to seep into my mind. My muscles were exhausted and my body began to sink. I fell slowly into the depths of the tranquil lake.

"U-uh..."

As the light of life was vanishing from my body, the reflection of a strange scene at the bottom of the lake reached my retina.

H...u...h?

Before my eyes was the bodies of my classmates, all laying on the bottom of the lake with their eyes closed and a peaceful expression on their faces.

Like they had just seen the ultimate bliss of their lives and then surrendered into a deep slumber.
