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
After exhausting the remaining time he had, fighting in the VR game, he finally logged out. He had fought many strong opponents with decent and distinct fighting experience. Though he didn't win most of the fights, he wasn't too far from winning. After fighting several opponents within the level 2 category, he realized Zora wasn't the strongest person in the game. Perhaps because others didn't want to go too public, that was why they weren't well known like she was.His last fight today was the toughest one. He had fought a pink-haired fire ability user who almost burnt off all the hairs in his body. She was the toughest opponent he fought today. Even though he did good damage to her, he still lost.Erix gained a total of 370 exp from all those fights.[exp: 370/1000] Shota also logged out since his time in the game finished with Erix's."Hey, man, hope you enjoyed the game?" Erix asked the moment he saw Shota coming out of the capsule."Yeah, but that was until you got defeated
After Shota was done purchasing food for himself, they headed back to the academy. It was past lunchtime already so Shota didn't bother buying food for Rin since he believed the latter must have already eaten.Entering the room, they met Rin pacing back and forth with a worried look on his face.Seeing that, Erix was the first to rush to him. Just by looking at his face, he could tell that something was wrong."What's wrong? Did something happen? Are you alright? Y-You look bothered," Erix asked simultaneously without pausing to catch a breath. His face showed concern, sadness, and fear."Tell us what happened Rin, what's wrong?" Shota asked as he dropped the paper bag containing his lunch on the table to concentrate on Rin.Rin went to his bed and sat down. He first breathed in and out to calm himself down. And after he must have done it four consecutive times, he finally relaxed a little."We need to talk. You guys should have a seat." This was the first statement Rin made.Shota an
