[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
Rin started the detailed explanation of all that happened last night.He also told them about the torture he went through before accepting to betray them. He told them everything without keeping anything from them. Lastly, he told them what he heard when he eavesdropped on the conversation of one of the second-year students that took him last night.For some reason, he chose not to disclose to them about Salvador's assistance. His friends don't trust him.Well, he doesn't trust him entirely. Though he had a bit of confidence that he wasn't completely a bad person.He planned to tell them about him later when they must have countered the major problem at hand."This is fucking unbelievable. How could they even do that to you? That's cruel." Erix said in rage. He was trying really hard to control himself because that revelation really outraged him."I can't believe you planned to hide this from your friends. Honestly, I'm really disappointed," Nicole said angrily.From the little she
Everyone froze in an unexplainable shiver and guilt. Erix's words seemed to have some kind of piercing property that rendered them weak and shattered in the heart.This was the first time they had seen him snapped out like that in anger.And since Erix wasn't the type to get easily riled, they were a bit surprised at his sudden outburst.He was furious. "Oh no, not this time," Shota said as he looked at Erix's back. His wings were starting to come out."What..the?" Nicole stuttered in shock. Well, she should be shocked since she wasn't there the night Erix's wings appeared."A..Are these wings?" She stuttered in utter surprise. 'Damn it! We shouldn't have angered him to this extent!' Rin thought in regret."C'mon man, you should loosen up now. Your wings are nearly out. We are really sorry for….""Don't fucking tell me that! This isn't the kind of bond I expect from you guys. You promised to accept her, why say all that to her earlier? It's obvious you don't like her, I know, but c
"If that's the case, then let's continue our discussion." Eric urged everybody.Right now, Shota and Rin must be thinking that Erix was very easy in trusting Nicole, but unbeknownst to them, he had a way of checking whether she was lying or not."As I was saying earlier, Quito is my childhood friend, and his family has a very good relationship with the military." "Well, we weren't much of friends back then. He was always full of himself." "Let's say, that was one of the many reasons I had to stay away from him. He is too boastful of his achievements and I don't like people like that.""That was why I was surprised to hear he was the person behind Rin's torture.""He is arrogant, stupid, and boastful, but I never knew he was horrible too." "This is shocking to me. I know he was a bully. Even though he didn't bully me, that doesn't mean I haven't witnessed him bullying other people. Guess my family's influence didn't allow him to try that on me. Also..""Excuse me, you said he's your
The moment he exited his room, he headed straight outside the school. Tonight he needs to get blood to regenerate his lost HP and fill up his blood bank as well. His HP was very low right now, so needed a refill. Not only that, but he would also find a way to gather points and exp. After classes tomorrow, would he head to the VR game if he had no funds? Of course not. He should raise sufficient points, so he could play the game as long as he wished. Honestly, he had no place in mind to go. Infact, he came out without a plan at all. His best assumption was; He would find a bully outside the school whom he would fight for exp, blood, and points, but unfortunately, after he must have covered many meters from the school, he still was without anything like that... All he kept seeing were regular students returning from the city and a few students that were heading to the city. 'I have to find someone to take blood from, otherwise, tomorrow is gonna be really bad.' Erix thought as h
"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
