Gamer No. 2. A thin line appeared on Perseus' face. The dude in front of him was the second-best after Eris. From the look of things, he looked like he was.Perseus glanced at Eris, and he noticed that she had changed back into pants and a hoodie. His brows furrowed. She wore a gown earlier; why did she wear it if she wasn't comfortable in it?“This is where my face is, man.” Ethan drew his attention back to himself. “Are you staring at her to save you?”Perseus grinned at Ethan. “I like your idea, but I wouldn't want Eris to interrupt my game with you.”Ethan folded his arms, his confidence aura emitting from him as his lips curled into a perfect smirk.“Is that so?” Ethan asked. “Are you really that confident? Judging from the look of things, you don't look like a gamer to me.”Perseus shrugged, rolling his eyes in the process. “Yeah, it's not like I would walk around with the sign on my forehead.”“I know a gamer when I see one.” Ethan scoffed.“I guess your observations don't work
His words shook the gamers. Perseus, on the other hand, had no idea why the gamers looked stunned.“What's so special about being challenged to a duel with him?” Perseus inquired, his gaze trailing from Eris to the others.Eris stared at him; she was staring at Ethan in disbelief, but her reaction said otherwise. Ethan was willing to lose his position again. She thought that he had changed when she took his place, but now she knows that he hasn't.“Here is how the duel goes.” One of the gamers began. “There has to be a loser and a winner; the winner has the right to tell the loser what to do for him.”“No matter what the winner instructs the loser to do, the loser must do it. Also, the duel is going to be held in two days. Both gamers have to practice before then.”Perseus liked the sound of it because he knew that he wouldn't lose. This way, he could get the position and complete the mission.It was so easy.“You could ask him to give us his position for you, and he could ask you nev
Perseus grinned at her. "Yes, I am."He led the way until they got to the cafe that he chose. It took a lot of time before he chose that one; the others followed him until they were standing in front of the computers.“I will be right back.” He told Eris. “Could you order pizza and drinks?” He requested it as he handed his golden card to her.Eris was stunned when she saw the card, as well as the others in the cafe.“Is that a golden card?” One of them asked, “Is he wealthy?”Ethan didn't seem to like the fact that the others were paying attention to Perseus. He pulled out his card, took Perseus's card, and threw it at Perseus.“We don't need your charity; I can pay for the pizza and drinks and any other thing that you all need,” Ethan said.Perseus's lips pressed against each other as he caught the card in between his fingers.“Okay,” Perseus muttered, his gaze shifting to the gamers. “I wanted to pay; however, Ethan suggested he did. So, you all order whatever you want to, and bill
Nick shook his head again.“Iris, what is the percentage of me convincing him?”[12%]“So low?”Perseus wanted to give up, but then an idea came into his head.“I already said that I wasn't going to stay here for more than an hour.” Nick folded his arms. “Money can't make me..." he paused when Perseus shoved something in his face.With a smile on his face, Perseus asked. “What about pasta from my restaurant?”Nick's eyes widened at the sight of the pasta.“Iris, what's the percentage of him agreeing to it now?”[89%]Perseus grinned; the man wanted the pasta.“Why are you giving it to me?” Nick demanded. "Besides, I didn't see you come here holding pasta.”Perseus smiled. “I have it with me, but you didn't notice. Can we have the cafe for five hours?”Perseus placed the bowl in front of Nick. The aroma of the pasta filled the atmosphere, making Nick's mouth water for the pasta.Nick cleared his throat, his face turning red in embarrassment. “How could a bowl of pasta equal five hours
Ethan slowly rose from the seat, bumping his elbow against Perseus' shoulder at the same time.“Let's see what you are capable of.” Ethan grinned at Perseus.Eris shoved Ethan out of the way. “Who is going to challenge him first?"One of the gamers raised his hand, and Eris nodded at him. He took his seat on the one next to Perseus.“The game is going to begin soon.” Eris muttered. “Are you ready, Perseus?”Perseus raised his head to look at Eris. “I still don't know the name of the game or what it is about. Can you tell me?”Eris was stunned; the game was so popular, she had no idea why Perseus couldn't recognize it.“Hah!” Ethan let out a loud chuckle. “I knew he was trash as soon as I laid my eyes on him. He doesn't even know the name of the game. I'm also sure that he has no idea how to play either.”Perseus' lips curled into a smirk. “Is there anything wrong with it? Tell me what you know about those games, and we will get started.”“Sure.” Eris ignored Ethan.“Are you seriously
Perseus' gaze was focused on the screen, and then he noticed that the livestream had begun. Comments were already flooding in about him being a chef and a gamer at the same time.“You need to focus on the game, not the comments. Press the start button when I count to 3. Got it?"Perseus and Jeremy nodded their heads in agreement.[Since you chose the weakest model, we will have no choice but to play the game differently.]“No need,” Perseus murmured confidently. “I already know where everything is.”“Starting in three, two, one, now."Both pressed start, and Perseus moved his character immediately. He aimed to find the map first.”[The model Hiro could teleport.]Perseus grinned. “Did you forget that Alia can mask her scent and hide herself from attack?”“As long as I can stay away from Hiro and don't go into combat with him, I am safe.”It was not like that matter; he would see the attack beforehand anyway.Alia, the Perseus model, made her way towards where the map that led to her b
Ethan was surprised by how quickly the game had ended. "What happened? Why did the game end so fast?" he asked.Perseus tilted his head to the side. "I won?" he said, raising his eyebrows. "Who's next?"Eris cleared her throat, getting everyone's attention. "The next person can go next; the second game will be starting soon."Perseus put his headphones back on and waited for the next contestants to get ready. Ethan, on the other hand, tried to convince himself that Perseus had just gotten lucky.Perseus had a smile on his face as he defeated the second contestant. He did the same for all the others until only Ethan was left.He raised his head to look at Ethan. "Are you going to play with me now?"Ethan's jaw tightened, and his legs felt like jelly with fear. "No, I didn't say I was going to play today. Remember, we have a duel."Perseus realized what was happening, and Ethan was terrified that he was going to lose. A grin spread across Perseus's face."I understand that you might be
Perseus ran past Nick without sparing him a glance. Startled, Nick wanted to call out to Perseus, but then Eris ran past him too. “Perseus, wait up!” Eris yelled out. Perseus wasn't stopping; he got out of the cafe and glanced around for any means of transportation. “Is Sherry okay?” [A 30%] “Has she been caught?” [88%] “Is she in danger?” [100%] “How high is the danger stake?" [90%] Shit! Perseus cursed when he couldn't find anything that could be used as a means of transportation. He bit his lips. “What's her location?” [The location will be shown on the panel next to you.] [One point per minute.] Perseus glanced at the panel before he began running in the direction Sherry was going. Eris, who had just run out of the cafe, glanced around before running after him. “Iris, is there a way to speed up my movements?” Perseus demanded. [Yes, you can be lucky to get the speed booster if you draw the lottery.] Perseus was still running as he controlled the p
