Although he said so, the reality is that life within the game is just an illusion. Despite repeatedly trying to feel happy, Highess' heart still felt empty.After defeating several monsters, he sat contemplating on a large rock. The journey initially felt very burdensome, not because he found the game difficult, but more of whether he was capable of solving this problem."I never thought I'd come this far, but it's still just the beginning! I'm sure other players have much better lives, some are supported by others, or maybe they can even make money from the game!" Whatever he said, this condition still felt empty and confusing.After spending some time hunting alone in the forest, Highess chose to return to the town. Many players logged in, but he didn't greet any of them or those who didn't intend to get to know him.The bustling atmosphere of the town, so lively, didn't make his eyes flinch; he always stared straight ahead. His unique appearance still seemed unusual; many glanced c

His actions may have been very reckless; very cautiously, he approached the scorpion. The sound of his footsteps constantly heard, served as a signal for the scorpion to attack. Every sound heard indicated a looming strike from either its tail or claws.Highess's body is almost being hit several times, thanks to his ability to play various games. Within the predetermined range, Highess prepared his sword. His eyes traced every inch of the scorpion's body, carefully observing which parts he could attack.Previous attacks had informed him that regular slashes wouldn't work; he needed to use special skills to increase his strength's effectiveness.It sounded easy, but it was far more complicated. The longer his movements, the easier he would be detected, and as soon as he attempted to step forward, the scorpion reacted. The scorpion's tail shot out like lightning.Ting..."I understand now that you'll know I'm here!" Instead of dodging, he used this situation to parry; the force of this

 "I thought I could feel what it's like to get new gear earlier, now I have to wait about 1 week from now!" Whether he liked it or not, procedures like this had to be done by Highess. After playing for quite long, he decided to take a break. Lying on the bed, his mind lingered on the atmosphere inside the game, so liberating. It felt like it had been happening for years, and his body missed that atmosphere. "If only my life were in the game..." The exhaustion

There wasn't much time to wait for the equipment; Highess still had to take action. Based on what he had seen last night, for a while, it was better for him to stay within the normal gaming path.There was a high likelihood of him becoming an easy target when facing opponents like that.One large horned monster had already been successfully defeated, its immense size making an imposing impression on the players. This was indeed a suitable habitat for such creatures that served as the area's boss.At this moment, Highess enjoyed the view from atop the monster's head. His eyes froze as he stared at the sun bidding farewell from a distance; everything would change in the silent night."Three hours, three hours I've been trying to defeat this monster..." he yelled, his voice echoing across the empty field.Due to the previous events, Highess became more reckless. With courage, he ventured into a territory, aiming to find the boss monster and the creature dominating the area, a large bison

"Ugh... so exhausting, I thought earlier would be the day of my demise!" sighed Highess, who had just finished taking off his gaming device, his body lying down to feel the comfortable sensation. The mattress, though no longer plush, provided a refuge where he could forget life's hardships.However, one important thing slipped his mind. For the past two weeks, he had only spent time playing games, forgetting his grand purpose for doing all of this."Tomorrow, huh..." He wasn't sure if tonight would be a time for his muscles and bones to rest peacefully; slowly, his eyelids shut tight. The sensation was all too familiar, everything he had been through seemed to linger in his mind only to haunt him. As the night deepened, the silence dulled everything, and eventually, he fell into a dream phase that brought a smile to his lips.But all over, morning came, causing his eyes to open again, though it was hard to accept reality. Highess's face turned towards the wall, and he quickly sat up,
