"Help! Help!" The voice cried. Erix's sense intensified the moment he heard that noise. He halted walking and focused his hearing around him to know where exactly the sound was coming from. "I guess it's coming from here," Erix finalized after he heard the cry again. The sound came from the forest on the left side of the road. Without wasting time, he dashed toward the direction of the sound. Normally, it could have been impossible for typical humans to see in that dark forest, but since he had a night perception, he had no difficulty seeing what the forest interior looked like. His vision was very clear as though it was daytime. While running, he tried as much as could not make too much noise to avoid alerting whatever was waiting for him at the other end. "Help me!" This time, the voice was clearer, meaning he was very close to it. As he got closer he noticed some things; The voice weakened each time it cried for help. Not only that, but it also sounded feminine. 'W

'Alright, since you don't want to sleep, I will use this opportunity to answer all those questions you asked when you were inside that game.' Lena replied. 'The reasons why you can't go to the demon world are simple; You are not yet strong. Demon world works virtually the same as how the human world does.' 'The illusion of survival of the fittest still stands. The weak are regarded as nothing while the strong are beheld as valuables. Though not quite as much as the way humans do disregard the weak among them.' 'Strong demons don't bully the weak ones as humans do. They only categorize them as trash, but not to the extent of making their life miserable by tormenting them.' 'Your going there will only include you in one of the overlooked weak demons. First get stronger before going there.' 'Your future with this system is great. It's greater than what you reckon. I want you to see earth as a preparatory arena. A place where you prepare yourself for the future.' 'Have you ever for o

Erix walked straight into the VR capsule the moment he arrived at the game store. Entering inside, he paid for six hours.Of course, he wasn't satisfied with just six hours. He wanted to pay for more time. But after deliberate thought about it, he decided to just pay for six hours. He has a reason for acting that way; Nothing stops him from paying for more time if he happens to expend the whole six hours and still wasn't satisfied. But he would be at a huge loss if he pays for what he couldn't keep up with. So for this reason, he decided to pay for just six hours as he was sure he would be able to expend the whole of it.As usual, Erix was transported into a white space. And in front of him was the menu. He decided to take a quick look at his inbox before proceeding. Unwrapping his inbox, he was shocked to see his followers had started to show an increase again.He had thought it would continue to decrease since many people now see him in a bad light after his futile fight with Z

Erix was shocked when he saw that message. [Zora is requesting to have an immediate fight with you!][Would you accept the request?][Yes] [No]The message was vivid and clear in front of his eyes.Zora wanted to fight him again. 'Told ya! If my speculation were right, she will surely invite you over for another fight.' Lena rejoiced at her intelligence."B-But, I mean, why would she want to fight me again? I should be the one doing this, not the other way round. It's quite surprising, to be honest." Erix said, still finding it hard to believe.Zora defeated him in their previous fight, so why was she requesting to fight him again?'If she is planning to beat me like she did last time, then I'm sorry to free her from that illusion because she won't be successful this time around.' Erix thought.'Alright, stop wasting time. Accept it quickly. The countdown will soon end.' Lena said.'Ok,' Erix said before he quickly accepted the fight request.[A yes option has been selected][Would y

In a quiet lonely forest, very far from residential areas, a purple-colored portal appeared, and a green-haired boy emerged from it.He was dressed up in casual military wear.The purple portal closed up shortly after he walked out of it."I love the weather here. It's nice" The green-haired boy muttered as he shut his eyes to assimilate the delightful sensation of the forest breeze against his skin.Orah was enjoying the gentle breeze of the forest.The sun was still radiating brightly above the sky, so the weather was rather windy and sunny.After taking in the cold breezes for a few more seconds, he finally opened his eyes."This is enough," He muttered before he began to scan the surroundings around him.If his analyses were correct, he was supposed to materialize in the bush very close to that military academy, but looking around the place he just found himself, he seems to be in some kind of thick wilderness.He tried using his perception to check if he could sense any form of li
