While on their way out, Rin told Salvador all that has been going on between him and Quito.He told him how the high levels came to his room last night to look for Shota and took him after they couldn't find him, the torturing they subjected him to and the deal they finally blackmailed him to accept.Though he wasn't sure he made a good decision by telling Salvador, he still wanted to believe Salvador was someone that would be trusted.He didn't opened up to Salvador because of what he said back then, instead, he did it because he seemed genuine.Moreover, he needed advice from someone that wasn't his friend.His friends might get worried and out of worry, advise him into doing something irrational, so he needed someone who wasn't his friend, and Salvador seemed to be the suitable person for that."These guys are f**king cruel. How on earth do they want you to betray your friends? Luckily, you changed your mind, otherwise, your friends could have hated you for real," Salvador said afte
Erix and Shota got to the VR store in a matter of minutes since the place wasn't too far from the school. "So how many hours are you planning on staying here?" Shota asked Erix the moment they arrived in front of the VR capsule. "Honestly, I have no other plans for today, so I plan to stay here as long as possible," Erix replied. "Uhmm, well, since you're here, I'm okay. I will stay here with you. I will stay till any time you wish to log out. I might as well, stay in the spectator role and watch you fight. I don't necessarily need to fight, you know. Just watching is enough." Shota said with a smile. "And thankfully, I won't bother about you getting injured." "Thanks for your understanding. In that case, you will have to sign-up since this is your first time playing a VR game. After that, you will add me to your friend list," Erix carefully explained. "Naa, who told you this is my first time playing a VR fighting game? C'mon, I have been playing VR games way before now. Just tha
Shota successfully logged into the game immediately he walked in through that capsule.He wasted no time putting Erix on his friend list. And luckily, Erix accepted his friend request instantly.After that, he booked a seat in Erix's upcoming fight, and a few seconds later he was transported into one of the spectator's seats in the huge ring-like area.Looking around the place, his jaw dropped at the sight before his eyes. The entire place was buzzling with crowd of people.He was shocked because he had expected to be the only one there."What the f**k? Am I in the right place? This was supposed to be a little fight, not an international one. These people are over hundreds if not up to a thousand." Shota mumbled in a dazed state of shock."Was the video real? Oh my god why wasn't I here to witness it myself yesterday." A boy said in irritation...The people beside Shota began to chatter among themselves."I wasn't here either, so I don't know if it was real or just fabrication. All I
'Erix, I think we've got a problem. That guy is a demon. Not just any demon, but a demon noble.' Lena said, sounding deeply worried.This was the first time Erix was hearing Lena sound like that, so he would guess one thing, the situation was really bad.'B-but..''There are no buts. That guy will find you within the next 78 hours. You even made his search easier by shaking hands with him.' Lena hastily interrupted.'So what do you suggest I do now?' Erix asked, sounding confused. 'Moreover, it's not my fault I shook hands with him. I was only trying to reciprocate his kind gesture.''There is absolutely nothing we can do about this. Run away all you can, that guy will still get at you.' Lena said.'So I should just sit down and wait until he finds me, huh?''That's the point. We can't do anything about it. But don't worry too much, when he comes, just tell him who you are, and don't lie.''Nobles are very intelligent. They have evolved from pure demons into nobles with high intelligen
[Zora is requesting to have an immediate fight with you!][Would you accept the request?][Yes] [No][You have ten seconds to select an answer][9][8]The message surfaced on the menu right in front of him.'Seems like someone is requesting a rematch after losing, pfff,' Lena chuckled when she saw that. 'So are you gonna decline it?' She asked.'O-Of course not, I mean why the f**k would I do that? Even if I lose to her now, it will still be a good fighting experience.' Erix said, with his mind fully made up.[3][2][1][A yes option has been selected]Erix selected the answer at the very last second before the countdown ended.Meanwhile, on the ring-like area on the other side, Zora was patiently waiting for Erix to accept her request.The result of yesterday's match greatly surprised her.That defeat was the first one she was having in many years of playing VR games.Normally, a person of her status was supposed to be angry because of what happened last night, but she wasn't, not
[The fight will being in the next 10 seconds][9][8][8][7][6][5][4][3][2][1][0][Start!]The moment the fight was declared started, Zora activated her water splash and rushed towards Erix.This time, she wouldn't take it easy on her opponent...Erix, on the other hand, equipped his armor, and his gauntlets.The stat increment from these two pieces of equipment was pretty decent. He felt himself become nibble as he activated both weapons.[Quest received][Win this match/Prove your worth to the audience][Reward: Hidden]'I was expecting this any time soon and it'd come,' Erix thought with a smile.Instead of attacking, Erix stood his ground waiting for her to get near. He preferred attacking at a close range any time he isn't making use of his skills.Right now, he wants to learn decent combat experience, so because of that, he decided not to use his blood slash until when very necessary.However, if he would be able to do this, he would have to dodge skillfully to avoid get
What the previous girl said was true, Zora indeed unleashed the beast in her. Zora quickly straightened her water whip the instant Erix made an attempt to step back, and the next second, she flung it at him. Erix quickly sidestepped and dodged the first water whip, but he wasn't successful with the second one because it caught his neck and encircled it."Erix!" Shota nearly screamed out when he saw that, but somehow managed to control himself when he recalled they were in a game and not reality.'This is not good, he will soon run out of air and die.''Now, I will end this fight quickly. Thankfully, we didn't get in touch too much, otherwise, he will use that energy-depleting skill he used on me yesterday,' Zora thought. Right now, the pain in her stomach was beginning to reduce, thus giving her more vigor to perform decently.While Erix was struggling to remove that whip, Zora quickly manipulated her other whip and it encircled Erix's neck further.Now the two whips were strongly c
[Your resistance to anaerobic conditions: 100%][From now, host can live successfully under anaerobic conditions][New skill unlocked][Anaerobic respirator(Lvl 1): Passive]These were the messages that popped out in front of Erix's peripheral vision.A few seconds later, another series of messages began to appear.[Quest failed][Punishment: None][Host has gained massive hatred from audience][New quests received][Quest 1: Change the perspective of the audience about you][Quest 2: Defeat Zora][Time limit: Seven days][Reward: Hidden]It was at this moment Erix began to open his eyes. He saw the messages the moment he opened his eyes.[Blood bank auto-activated][25/25 HP]"I fucking failed to prove myself," Erix mumbled before he let out a deep sigh that conveyed sadness.'Don't worry, you've overcome her greatest weapon. If you have watched her previous matches, you will see that she mostly uses that technique to defeat her opponents. But since you've eluded it, handling her now
