"What's happening, Rin? I know you're not alright," Erix suddenly said, interrupting Rin. He knew something was wrong. His behavior last night made it obvious. Rin was just trying to act tough and he knew that. Something must be bothering him, otherwise, he wouldn't have been like that last night. "Huh?" Rin sounded confused. "You heard me. Tell us what's wrong. Last night sounded miserable and sad, so I can only assume something was wrong." Erix replied. Rin was more hurt when he heard that. Erix seemed to have already known him well. 'I can't imagine myself destroying this wonderful relationship. I'm no different from those monsters.' Rin thought in intense pain. "Like I said, I'm fine. Just a little personal issue. But that's completely on me, I will work on myself. C'mon, guys, I'm fine," Rin said with a smile. Only God knows how hard it was for him to smile like that. "Are you sure you're alright? You can tell us anything, you know that." Nicole urged. "Thanks, but I'm
Inside a room in the second-year dormitory, five students could be seen kneeling in front of a huge muscular black-haired guy."How is the boy, right now? Hope you guys didn't beat him to death? We don't have enough resources to cover up a murder, right now?" The muscular boy said.The huge muscular boy was none other than Rafa, the second-year that tried to bully Erix in the canteen a few days ago.Kylee was one of the boys kneeling in front of him.He was fretting after hearing Rafa's question. From the look on his face, it was evident he was nervous.He doesn't know how Rafa would react after learning that he wasn't able to defeat an ordinary level one. Last night was still a thing of a surprise to him. One moment, he had the upper hand, and the next, everything changed.He was thoroughly defeated. And even worse, he lost consciousness before the end of the fight.This was practically the third time he was losing to Erix.What vexed him was the fact that he lost to an ordinary l
Rin hurriedly entered the second-year block the moment he left his roomHe needed to make it clear to them not to touch his friends, otherwise, he would quit the job they blackmailed him to do.His friends were his priority and partially the reason why he agreed to do that job.Even though they wouldn't accept him back after betraying them, he would be happy to have done it for their safety.Entering the second-year dormitory, he began searching for the room that corresponds with the room number that was given to him last night.He searched for a few minutes until he finally found the room. It was the room at the far end of the hallway.However, as he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door instantly slid open.The force at which the door opened startled Rin and reflexively, he took a quick step back away from the door.He saw as four boys dash out of the room. They looked terrified as they ran out of the room.'Why are they running like that?' Rin thought. "I should check why
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
