"Everyone… that's enough for today. We have to go to work now,"
Anchalee said to her friends, who were trying the new fantasy game for the first time.
The friends looked confused but laughed and nodded.
> "Anchalee… next time I will beat you!"
one of her friends exclaimed, pretending to cast magic.
Anchalee laughed, putting down the controller.
> "Alright… next time there's a new stage, but for now, we have to go to the construction site."
Everyone left the game room,
and Anchalee switched to the real construction site,
where magic, steel, and arcane creatures awaited.
Morning — Back at the Construction Site
The sound of hammers, drills, and wind around floating pillars mixed in a chaotic symphony.
Anchalee arrived, blueprints in hand, scanning the site carefully.
Suddenly, medium-sized arcane pillars floated and spun around the site.
> "Not again…" she sighed.
Lucas stood nearby, silent, eyes sharp.
> "If you don't adjust the arcane force, the pillars will collapse… and your game points will drop."
Anchalee gritted her teeth, placing the pillars carefully.
Small arcane creatures appeared from the corners.
She had to place pillars, balance forces, and fight creatures simultaneously.
Then, her hand brushed against Lucas's.
The pull was undeniable… her heart raced.
> "Careful… this pillar must withstand shear force,"
he said, gently pressing her hand to help balance it.
Their eyes met, and Anchalee knew… today, magic, steel, and hearts would be tested harder than ever.
Noon — Advanced Arcane Construction Stage
The hologram warned:
> "Advanced Stage: Build a two-story arcane tower while fending off creatures attacking from all directions."
Anchalee and Lucas had to place paired pillars, build arcane walls, and defend against creatures.
They started working together as a team, even while tension and teasing remained.
The creatures attacked relentlessly.
Lucas grabbed her hand and pulled her out of harm's way.
> "This… isn't just construction anymore."
She clenched her teeth… her heart raced uncontrollably.
Afternoon — Romantic/Action Moment
The final trial of the day: construct the tallest arcane tower and a small fortress.
They began working in perfect coordination, adjusting magic forces and managing creatures.
"You're holding my hand too tightly."
"If I don't… you might miss and get hit."
They laughed, unable to hide it,
realizing that the attraction between them had grown stronger than ever.
The morning ended, but magic, steel, and hearts had just begun their most challenging game yet.
