Arthur bounced into his mansion with his guards and Lilith tailing him closely. He greeted some maids with smiles as he walked forward, then, up the stairs and finally arrived at the first floor. "How many floors does this mansion have?" Lilith asked out of curiosity as she obediently followed Arthur as she knew nothing about the house. She was too lazy to investigate. "About fifteen floors on the surface and five more floors underground. The mansion has over a hundred rooms, excluding those underground." Arthur spoke cooly was he walked up to the elevator on the second floor and stepped inside. Lilith and only a few guards followed. The others took the second elevator out of the four available. "Why didn't you just use the elevator downstairs?" Lilith asked in confusion, she face tilted slightly to the side. She simply couldn't understand Arthur's thought process. He acts unpredictably at times. "Because I wouldn't be able to see all those beautiful maids- ouch!" Arthur spoke
It's been a few hours and the evening dinner had just begun. Sitting besides Arthur was a middle aged man who looked like a older and more mature version of Arthur. He had silky silver hair and bright black eyes, alongside his chiselled and angular face. He was Arthur's father, Brian Thompson. He was wearing a silver suit that complements the colour of his hair, and his eyes were lowered, covering the calculative glint flashing in his eyes under his long lashes. "Arthur how was school today?" Hearing the familiar voice, Arthur lifted his head and looked over his father. A middle aged woman sat there with her head tilted over and rested on her palm, and her eyes looking straight at Felix. She was a very beautiful woman, who had long silky hair, smooth jade skin, and a curvaceous figure. Her face was round and delicate, with her pinkish lips, slender brows, straight nose, and a pair of calculative eyes. "School was fine mother, nothing unexpected happened today." Arthur smiled
After calming himself down, Arthur ran back upstairs and grabbed his Neo-VR watch inside his bag. He now understood why his bag felt so strange when he stared at it earlier. Dammit! If he'd known such a thing would happen, he shouldn't have left his bag alone earlier… He should have cast it to the skies instead! Should he just destroy the watches now? At least he could avert a massive storm that's headed for him. He glanced at the watch wrapped around his wrist, then, the image of a cute little girl popped up in his head. Dammit, wouldn't everything just go to waste? He bought it from his dar- ahem! He bought it from Katelyn at an enormous sum! Ignoring price, just the fact he bought it from Katelyn was enough to increase the value of the watch by leaps and bounds! It's value was more than something he robbed off a business rival. To think Fay knowing about this would force me into reasoning something as dark as throwing away his valuable watch… Sigh… "Argh! Just you wait
That Bastard! Why is he here now of all times? Does he really think I won't beat him up after what he did last time? Jacob glared at the hooded figure standing behind the hunched over Robert. His eyes were burning with fury as he clenched his fists, and gave Arthur a mean smirk. "It seems you haven't changed in the slightest, out Last Minute Hero. You are still that spoiler brat who doesn't have a life." Arthur smirked at this, his eyes glowing in a faint light as he straightened his spine. "Haha, Jacob… Still as humourous as ever… Daring to hit a friend of mine? It seems you've forgotten who you're dealing with?" Arthur grinned as he drew his left hand out of his pocket and cracked his knuckles. Jacob merely scoffed before suddenly dashing forward, knocking Robert who stood directly in front of him to the side. "Shit! Arthur and Jacob are about to have another clash? Dammit, someone get me my Starblet, I'm streaming this to our private Starnet Channel!" "Increase the size of t
Jacob was humiliated! Kicking and screaming while also bathing in the fountain, only a god would understand how much rage and anger he felt at this minute. He felt like shoving Arthur's head under the tires of a moving bus! "Hehe, stupid Jacob… Do you really think you can beat me? I'm better than you in nearly everything except humiliating oneself in front of others!" Of course, Arthur wouldn't let go of this chance to quench the nearly extinguished flames burning ferociously in Jacob's heart. He would pour water on the flames, making sure it died out completely! But, life didn't always go as planned… For where there was people trying to put an end to a problem, there where others wanting that problem to blow up and escalate… "Such a humiliating scene displayed before someone he was trying to court? And he lost to the person he considers his nemesis? In just how many ways had this little baby lost his face today?" Everyone turned in the direction of the feminine voice that reso
[Tempest Of The Starry Night] has arrived! “Welcome Players, to the Spirit Gathering Forest! The race track has been predetermined by @[Early Morning Chaos], and the race would begin in a few hours… Please familiarize yourself with the environment before that time…” The sweet sounding voice of a female sounded directly in heads of all the players, and her words brought a frown to their faces. Some of them looked around themselves while others had begun to move around in order to get used to their bodies. Some richer and more intelligent players had began to spend their real life money on purchasing premium packages and boosts. Even Robert [Early Morning Chaos], had purchased a few packages of healing potions. Arthur on the other hand was busy modifying and upgrading the car he brought with a smirk on his face. He had already thrown $10000 into upgrading this car he brought for a mere $20000, and he couldn't help but smile at his investment. Since he was only able to purchase low
Arthur's eyes teared up as he narrowly evaded a terrifying crescent slash that nearly cleaved his fine head in two symmetrical halves. He still wanted to cry, but had no tears. “Slash! Slash! Slash!” “Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!” Attacks were unleashed, the target evaded without much effort, and the game of cat chasing mouse began! The movements of the two contestants seemed to be in a loop, without a single unique movement or technique besides: “Slash! Slash! Slash!” “Dodge! Dodge! Dodge!” The other players, Lilith , Fay and Robert included, ran after the two crazily all around the forest without pausing to rest or wait. They were all hyped up at the witness of another major fight, and to this, they ran like criminal supervillains on drugs. Back to the fight, [Energy: 105/200] Arthur frowned in tears and pain, even with as much torture he was going through now, his petty and disgraceful energy was about to run out on him. He was terrified now as every movement he make uses not le
Killing her would only give him the meagre bonus of 1000 EXP and a few trashy rewards like her sword and some unwanted money… It would also bring the [Player Hunter Mark] upon himself and a bounty to whosoever kills him. 1000 EXP isn't worth getting chased around by mad players, as he would lose a lot of time meant for practice to either instability or maybe insanity after getting chased around like a rat. In his eyes, the profits of killing Felicia isn't worth his suffering. All he could do was simply ignore her for the time being. She has a volatile character, but wasn't dumb or stupid enough to attack someone who defeated her twice in a row… "Get up, you lost." Arthur spat coldly as he offered his hand hesitantly to the struggling Felicia with a frown on his face, he really wish he'd knocked her out but she had more Endurance[END] than he thought! "You moron. That was just dumb luck… Don't act cocky because you defeated me just this one time." Despite her provoking words, she
