As the old man and I talked, he mentioned that the one I killed was Jacob Tolentino, the true CEO of the Loan Shark Company, and the fatty's name was Lorence Tolentino, yes, that fatty was Jacob's brother. "Would the police investigate this case?" I asked. Showing a serious expression on my face. "No. And even if they do, they will find nothing." "Why?" "Do you know how you killed them?" "No." "You burned them until nothing remained, not even their ashes," He said. "Ahh?" "There were also no CCTVs there since that area was originally abandoned." I came to believe that it was the end, but then another dilemma arose. Jacob Tolentino, the CEO of that Loan Shark Company has two sons who are currently players like me. Not just any ordinary player, but a member of one of the top five guilds that have emerged since the beginning of New Life's (VR) Game. "Ha! So that's why he has a player on his side huh?" I mumbled to myself as I go back to my room. [7:00 AM, Saturday], [LOCATIO

George, that old man, told me that a new dungeon gate had appeared on the section of Visayas that was classified as a higher-rank dungeon, and that even the top five guilds in the Philippines had become aware of its existence. And so, I need to become stronger in order to at least honor the trust that the Player Association gave to me.[12:40 PM], [LOCATION: Makiling Forest, Phase 04]Phase 04, the deepest part of the Makiling Forest or originally called Tenebris Silva in "New Life" is where most monsters have the ability to take advantage of their environment or we could argue that they were more intelligent beings than those boars who have a repeatedly attack pattern.As soon as I enter, an ominous feeling engulfs my presence as if dozens of unknown monsters were eyeing every step that I take.I immediately used the Eye of Providence to check whether there was any presence or an ambush from each side of the gloomy forest.[System Message: Using the Eye of Providence; Presence Detect

So that's what happened. I hoarded a lot of EXP by hunting venomous spiders while unexpectedly battling a terror of Tenebris Silva, the Colorless Spider that eventually becomes my subordinate by means of Soul bounding necromancy skill."Squeak?" The colorless spider spoke as it bend his tiny head down like it was asking for something."Ahh! a name was it?" I asked in an excited tone."Squeak!" It suddenly becomes excited as it circled around me.I then pondered for quite a while and accidentally said a random name. "Whitey?"[System Message: Colorless Spider successfully received its given name, Whitey.]"Squeak?!" The colorless spider looked at me in disgust as if it was thinking that I am poor at giving names. Well, actually, I am.Just as I gave it a name, it suddenly run from afar as if it was going after something."W-Wait! You're leaving me just because I gave you a faulty name?" I asked as I chased after him.It run faster than usual as if it really were going after something t

The second Evaluation was about close-range combat, or to be precise, this combat will evaluate one's player capability and whether they have the courage to fight even if they have no chance of winning. "So a battle of courage, you say?" I mumbled to myself as I finally saw the opponent that I will be against with.A bulky and seemingly strict man in his twenties entered the Combat Evaluation Area while looking at me in excitement."That guy's name was Roger, a warrior class who had already attained his first advancement just like sir Theodore." Joshua said."Joshua, will he really be my opponent? He looked like he can't take a punch with me~!" He said as he took off his shirt."Ahh, sir Joshua, can I use some of my skill?" I asked as I was a little enraged but what he says was nonetheless true. I may be powerful in terms of firepower, but I can lose instantly if I took a punch from that bastard's huge fist."B-But this was a test of courage and not an official match evaluation thoug

That's how Sasha ended up taking her dinner with my family. "So how did you and my Theodore meet?" Mother asked as she showed an expression of curiosity on her face. "Ahh, that day when I met him was quite heroic. He save me who was being chased down by a monster that has unbelievable strength!" She spoke as if she was born as a storyteller. "Ohh? Just like a hero that saves a certain princess?" Mother became more interested in Sasha's words. "Oi, don't exaggerate things." I whispered. "I'm not exaggerating. When I was on the verge of being attacked by that monster, your son, Theodore had already killed it with just a single strike just like a piece of cake!" And Sasha's exaggerated story continued. "But it was really exaggerated; even though I killed it with a single strike, I still suffered from shock, and I didn't save you at all! You were already so fast that the mutated boar couldn't keep up with you, which is why its attention was drawn to me," I mumbled to myself as I reca
