Ero Meter

[1. "I love you, but it's something important to me and I have to do it alone." (+2 Hearts.)

2. "Sorry I can't take you there. (+0 Heart.)

3. "Ok you can come with me." (+3 hearts.)]

Jack looked at the options and a complicated expression appeared on his face.

'I can't take Feba with me, it will be bad for both of us and although it will give me one more heart, it's still a lot better than messing up the whole situation.'

Although Jack could gain three hearts by taking Feba with her, it was an extremely risky option, one that can, not only put Feba's life in danger but can also mess up the whole mission.

Jack thought a bit more and then pressed the first option with a sigh.

'I have to keep her here.'

After the environment around his turned normal, Jack looked in her eyes again and stared in them for a few seconds.

"I love you, but it's something important to me and I have to do it alone." Jack said and leaned in to kiss her lips.

Feba's eyes turned wide when she felt his kiss and when his words registered in her mind.

'Did he say he loves me?' Her heart skipped a beat as she remembered the words he just said and butterflies started moving through her stomach.

She moved back a bit as she looked at Jack again her breathing turning heavy.

Faneel on the other hand witnessed this and suddenly let out a chuckle. "What the fuck? You guys fell in love in a single day?" He laughed again.

When Feba heard Faneel's word she broke out of her stupor and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.

She looked at Faneel and then at Jack. "Ok, but please be careful." She said.

Faneel moved towards Feba with a mocking smile on his face and he looked at Jack too. "There is a radio transmitter in your bag, use that to warn us if anything bad happens. Though I am not sure if that transmitter would work in these mountains." Faneel said with a chuckle.

"Thanks." Jack nodded.

"Ha..." Faneel chuckled again. "I don't get why she fell in love with you?" He said subconsciously and then suddenly received a punch in the back of his head.

"Ouch... I am sorry boss." He quickly moved away while apologizing.

"Fuck off." Feba said with an annoyed expression and then moved closer to Jack again. She then landed a kiss on his lips. "I love you too."

Jack smiled at her word and patted her head a few times. "I will be back soon." He said and then turned around while picking up his stuff.

Feba and Faneel stood at their places looking at his disappearing figure. And soon enough he was gone in the white snow.

"He looks like a playboy, you should be careful of him." Faneel said suddenly after Jack was not visible at all.

"Don't speak about him like that. He is not like you." Feba said and looked at the bags with a sigh, she wished to go with Jack and help him, however he didn't want to take her.

"Let's set up a camp. I don't think we need that much oxygen here." She said again and moved towards the bags.

"You do you, don't say later that I didn't warn you about him." Faneel said and also moved towards the bag and started helping Feba in making a camp.

"Just shut up and do your work." Feba berated him.

.....

Jack on the other hand reached in front of a giant rock after travelling about a kilometer. "The entrance must be somewhere near." He placed the map in his coat and looked at the Rock again.

This was the place that his truth meter had pointed him to, however he couldn't see anything strange or any sort of entrance.

It was just a giant rock covered with snow.

"How can I find the Ring of Power here?" Jack looked around and felt powerless, he couldn't think of any ways to find the Ring Of Power.

After thinking for a few minutes he gave up and sat down on the ground. "I need to use the truth meter." He decided and took out his book and pen.

"Is there any entrance in the big rock in front of me?" Jack wrote down the question and then wrote down the yes and no answers.

And after scanning the answer he quickly looked at the rock again.

"So there is indeed an entrance in this Rock." Jack looked and took in a deep breath, the Rock was pretty big almost two stories tall and the top of the rock was covered with snow.

While the front grey part was visible with some snow lines.

Jack then looked at his notebook again.

"Is the entrance, on top of the Rock?" He asked and got 'No' as an answer.

"So the entrance is not at the top." Jack thought and then asked if the entrance was at the bottom of the rock.

He didn't wanna dig snow so he crossed his fingers and scanned for the answers and breathed in relief when he found out the entrance was also not below the Rock.

"It should be in the back of the Rock." Jack thought and stood up.

There was no entrance on the top and bottom and he can see the front of the Rock and could see no entrance there too so he calculated that the entrance was most probably at the back.

"I will have to climb up this Rock to get to its back." A complicated expression appeared on Jack's face.

The rock was straight with very less space to climb and around it was steep slopes. He would have to trek carefully or he would definitely die.

Jack gulped his saliva at the thought of messing up. Although he was an expert climber the situation still gave him chills.

"Should I confirm with my book before taking such a risk?" Suddenly a thought entered his mind.

Although back was the only place left, he still wanted to confirm with his truth meter before he took such a big risk.

He quickly took out his notebook again and started writing.

"Is there any entrance at the back of the Rock?" He asked. And then wrote the yes and no options.

His eyes then quickly scanned through the page and when he got his answer a frown appeared on his face.

The small panel was flashing green on 'No' Option.

"What the fuck? Then where the hell is the entrance?" He has already asked about up and down and he has even asked about the back and he could clearly see no entrance at the front.

And the Rock had sharp edges and he could see them too.

He stared at the Rock for a few seconds and then his pupils dilated.

'Is the entrance in front of me?' He thought and gulped his saliva. He remembered how Vieva uses magic, so anything related to her must also be magical.

Jack slowly stepped forwards and soon enough he was near the flat giant Rock.

His hand slowly moved and he placed it on the surface.

And just as he touched the Rock a disappointed look appeared on his face. "There is no entrance in the front too." He felt the bare wall against his gloves.

"Then where is it?" He took out his notebook again.

"Is there an Entrance in front of the Rock?" He asked just to make sure.

And soon got the answer and when he did he turned around and looked at the Rock again.

"The truth meter says that the entrance is in the front... But it's a wall..." Jack touched the wall again and could still feel it.

"The entrance must be locked and needs something special to unlock." Jack thought and sat down on the ground again, this time his back resting on the Rock.

...

Vieva sat in her mansion as she looked through a book, there were a lot of books in front of her table.

As she was reading, suddenly her eyes widened.

"So that's how it is..." She suddenly closed the book in her hand and looked straight, seemingly lost in her mind.

"Although the entrance to the Ring Of Power opens periodically, it can also be opened with the help of a Spell." Vieva said and gulped her saliva.

"If this is true then I can achieve my goals faster than I thought." She placed the book on the table and stood up.

Her fingers flicked and with it all the books disappeared.

"According to the sacred book of Power, the spell to open the entrance is guarded by the Boseman Family in England." Vieva said and narrowed her eyes.

"Echo..." She called out and soon enough Echo appeared in front of Vieva.

"Mother..." She kneeled just as she saw Vieva.

"Find out everything about the Boseman Family. You have an hour." She said and clicked her finger, her figure then disappeared from the Mansion.
