That man walked into the house and sat down in one of the chairs and looked at Paul rather annoyed.
"So you're the one who hacked the game?"
The black haired boy was surprised to hear that, he didn't know why he was being accused of that, so he answered him.
"I didn't hack anything, well I cheated at first and already the game punished me".
"And that money you spent?"
Paul got nervous and answered him all at once.
"Well, I got engaged to a girl in the game. She died, and I inherited all that money, that was it, I didn't steal anything."
"Things like that alter the game, you were given a lot of money. The role you were assigned is that of a blacksmith's son, very little energy. You must spend more years than the rest, it's quite unusual. Most people have more luck in this game, but still. There are rules here."
Paul was a little annoyed to hear that.
"Why did the game give me this role?"
"Someone had to get it. Everyone can't be rich, but in your case it's pretty strange. How did you get this game? You know this is for adults? Apparently you got in with some kind of trap. The game is still in development, and situations like yours are under study. An order must be maintained, and you changed a lot of things. That you die and stay in the game is not a problem, but apparently you changed and made the game a bit more active. You will not be punished for now, while the error is being reviewed.
The man got up from his chair and put on his hat, he didn't say anything else, he looked very serious. He looked like a policeman, like in The Real World.
Paul, he felt very uneasy. This was one of the administrators, and he knew that if he showed up again. He would most likely be punished with death. So he decided to avoid being the center of attention. Since he was being watched.
[...]
Paul returned to his parents' house and went to where his family was. They were still waiting for him, apparently something had happened.
His mother, who was a simple housewife, told him the news.
"The prince sent a small amount of money as condolences for the death of the master of the house."
Paul received the money, and the system at once put it away.
<< Five million coins>>
For Paul, it was very little, but at least with that he would pay for some of the things he had to buy. Upon receiving it, he tried to talk to that woman, since he was not sure she could understand, nor interact like a normal person.
"We are going to another house, much better."
The woman surprisingly reacted a little shocked, she didn't answer him, but went to a room to get her things.
The black-haired boy went to where the woman was headed and noticed that she started to pack some things. Paul knew he could have a somewhat normal conversation with the people in the game. So he didn't have to worry too much about that.
When he saw her, he decided to leave the room and just wait in the living room for the whole family to get organized and move in like another normal person.
[...]
Two days passed and Paul's whole family was already in their new house. Now he had to go back to school, he had to complete the mission of standing out there.
As he pulled into Jared Ackerman's driveway, he noticed that everything had been completely fixed up. The structure was as if nothing had happened there. The students were the same. Paul tried to walk to his classroom without looking back or worrying about anything. However, he saw that several of the students were missing from that classroom, and when he got to the classroom he noticed that there were about twenty people missing.
He sat quietly in the amphitheater classroom at the top and saw that no teacher had arrived. It was strange for him, but he knew that the game had some changes.
He leaned back on the table and waited for the teacher to arrive, but was surprised when he saw a woman open the door. She was about twenty-five or so. She was beautiful, with long blonde hair, somewhat voluptuous and had a white robe.
Paul felt somewhat intimidated by the woman's details. He thought she was a real person, but in a matter of seconds he concluded that she was just another programmed person, so he didn't worry too much about her. He just watched what the woman was doing on the board. She seemed to be writing something about her class.
The black-haired boy didn't have a notebook or anything to write with, since he thought they weren't doing anything important that day. Seeing that he had nothing to do, he took his wand and cast a little spell.
"Pencil and paper."
In a matter of seconds, he already had those two objects on his desk. So he was calm. However, that little spell had left all the people in the room a little uncomfortable.
The woman and several of his classmates were watching him rather annoyed. Paul didn't understand why everyone was looking at him like that. He felt a little uncomfortable and avoided looking at the people in front of him. He didn't understand why they were so upset with him.
The teacher continued to write on the board several things, and added the use of magic.
<<No magic allowed in the classroom without permission>>.
<<No eating or talking allowed>>>.
<<My name is Irene Sandoval>>
<<The class is history and magic control>>.
After reading this, Paul understood why the woman had been angry with him, so he decided not to worry about anything else. He just stayed silent. Until the woman spoke, for the first time.
"Good morning," "My name is Irene Sandoval, I will be your history teacher. The school decided to change and put more teachers, so I will teach you that subject from today. Magic comes from thousands of years ago, and it was all thanks to the elves who joined with some men and that's why many people today have magic."
Paul started to fall asleep with the explanation. He felt that the best thing to do was to read books, since the game immediately registered it in the player's information. Listening to that woman made him very sleepy, he felt he was in the real world. Slowly, he began to close his eyes.
[...]
Paul woke up almost two hours later, his classmates were gone, only the teacher was there in the classroom writing some things in a notebook. He tried to get up and ran to the stairs, he didn't understand why he was so tired, if it was a game, and he hadn't felt like that for a long time. From one moment to the next, he started to roll down the stairs until he fell on the first step. He tried to get up from the floor and saw that woman approaching.
"......"
The black haired boy got up from the floor and tried to apologize.
"I'm sorry I fell asleep, it won't happen again."
"Don't worry, but the best thing you can do is go to your next class."
"Ah... It was nice talking to you."
He turned his back to that woman and ran off. Until she spoke to him.
"Why do you know so many spells?"
He paused, it felt a little strange to hear that question, he felt it was too natural for a person who was programmed. Paul looked at her and walked over to her.
"Are you a gamer?"
"What is a gamer" She asked.
Paul, hearing her, felt nervous and tried to change the conversation, he didn't want to change upset her, or seem weird, by asking her something she didn't understand.
"I mean, have you ever participated in the magic games?
She became a little calmer and answered him in a calmer manner.
"Yes, I am related to the royal family, I handle quite a bit of magic."
Paul didn't know what to tell her, I was obliged to continue the conversation so as not to provoke a misunderstanding because of the question she previously asked me.
"I see, you can teach me how to have more magic."
"Have more magic?"
Paul knew it was impossible, so he was calm, he had already completely deflected the question, but she answered him in a slightly peculiar way.
"You can have more magic, but that something difficult, you need some magic."
The black-haired boy was surprised to hear what the woman was saying. He didn't hold back and moved a little closer to her.
"How much, what level do I need?"
"You're too close."
"Uh... I'm sorry."
"You need to get to level 40, for now your magic ability will gradually go up."
Paul was shocked to hear that. He understood that not everything was in books and that he could learn by talking to people. He unknowingly grabbed her hands and made her even more uncomfortable.
"Thank you" she said and ran out of the Amphitheater in an unknown direction.
However, his action created even more problems than he thought. The woman grabbed her head and began to feel strange. However, the game immediately intervened and made her return to her programming. Just as Paul thought she was a player, but she had died in this game, so she had to assume the role she had been given.

No one had recovered from the incident with the magic that situation left behind.Paul looked out the window to see if the young king had sent guards or something to take him to some dungeon, but he saw a woman approaching his house. It was the teacher, she was in a white robe with two guards accompanying her. The people walking around that place at that hour were watching what was going on.The black-haired boy did not know if it was good or bad news, but he was obliged to go downstairs to avoid misunderstandings or that his family would be in trouble.

Obelisk Back to the garden
Paul did not hesitate to go to the castle garden to see if he could go up another level, but this time it was not so easy to go there.There were many guards guarding the castle because of the incident a few days ago. Most of them had sharp weapons and did not look very friendly. There were even mercenaries around the place.The black-haired boy had no choice but to move away from that place, to avoid trouble against them, but he could not succeed. Suddenly, one of the young king's advisors appeared in front of him."It is you, the boy who has ties with the country of Aachen.""Uh... yes I wanted to go and talk to the young king, but there are many guards, I'd rather come another time.""Don't worry, since he's here, I'll take him there right away."Paul, he couldn't leave since that man was very suspicious, and he wasn't going to leave things like that. So he had to follow him, even though he didn't want to. Many guards who were close by and looked at him as an enemy. Several of them
Obelisk The city Aachen
Paul and the two mercenaries arrived two days later in the city of Aachen. The cold was very strong, and it was impossible for them to pass in the snow. However, they found a place that seemed to be the center of the world. It was very crowded and difficult to get through. There were so many people that it was easy to get lost there.The black-haired boy did not know what to do, he was in a new place for him and by bad luck he stayed in an unfavorable place. He was in the pink zone, where there were hundreds of disreputable people and there were prostitutes everywhere.He tried to follow the mercenaries, but he saw someone he knew. It was Sabrina, Marcos' cousin, she was one of those nocturnal women.Paul had no choice but to go to her and talk to her. When they were in front of the girl, he spoke to her."Sabrina, do you recognize me?"Another woman seeing him spoke to him." You can't approach her just like that, if you are going to pay for a while with the girl, do it or leave."Th
Obelisk Castle
After two long hours of standing in line, Paul and the group of people he was with finally entered the castle, but they had to be seen by one of the counselors and interrogated, as well as checked. To the black-haired boy's surprise, the counselor was a level 60 player. He was also a bad-tempered veteran, rather in a bad mood and didn't look very friendly."What is the reason for your visit to the city and castle of Aachen, the center of the world?""We need to mediate to avoid a war, I am from Fischer and I come to ask for peace.""Ah... Fischer. I'm sorry, the young man who ascended to the throne is a stupid, insult to this kingdom, so they are going to be cleansed and will be an example to the world.""And the people who live there? Are they nothing to you?""Not my problem go away!"Paul felt humiliated, he was treated like dirt, and he couldn't argue or anything like that. The mercenaries couldn't even speak. They apparently were much weaker than the guy in front of them. So th
Obelisk Level Upgrade
Paul returned to the room where he had left Sabrina. He saw her a little frightened, being with so many unfamiliar people. The mercenaries were not with her, they had left.So he approached her friend to help her."Well, we'll go somewhere safe for you.""Where to?"At that moment the teacher appeared and looked at them both. She immediately realized it was another player."A teacher, I need a favor from you. This girl needs to stay somewhere while I finish doing all my missions.""Don't worry, I can help her, for now, it's no problem for me, but you should be careful."Sabrina understood the situation immediately and walked over to where the teacher was. Paul at that moment did not understand what happened, but he noticed that something happened. One of the kingdom's advisors came back to him and spoke to him."Mmm, the commoner we sent to die. He did something, you are too strange. The king has asked me to give you a reward. Here."Paul received what appeared to be a scroll. Which w

Combats
Paul only went up one level, despite defeating dozens of wizards, he would probably continue to climb slowly, but at least he had finished this mission. Now he only needed to excel in one school, he would pass the main mission.He didn't care much about the new skill he had been given, he preferred to ignore it for now.He was somewhat happy, but he didn't trust the game very much, with the death of Marcos he was very sad. His friend had already made a lot of progress, and maybe if he continued at that pace, he would be out of the game in less than a month.It was difficult for Paul, but he tried to calm down and convince himself that he could finish the game. Now he had more responsibility than before, but he had already achieved some goals.He left the castle garden quite tired, the last three days had been very difficult for him. The torture he had received had him somewhat out of his mind. He should do the missions more calmly, and avoid doing favors for the king.As there were no
Torture
Paul had his hand on his chest and was looking for shelter, he was nowhere near his house, so he looked for a place to wait for everything to calm down. He saw a place open at that hour, it was some kind of bar, and he noticed that there were some guards hiding. They were afraid of what was going on. Paul didn't stay to watch them all, he preferred to lean back in a chair while some girls watched him. The boy's physical appearance had changed a little, he didn't know what was wrong with him, but one of the women in the place I know said to me."Apparently someone put a spell on you to limit you a bit. Did you overdo something and that's why you're like this?""Is it a curse?""No, but it's worse. It will kill you slowly, it will hit you at different times."Paul remembered King Damien and what that man had done to him. So yes, the body was starting to fail, and he looked so stressed. He wanted to get up to get help, but his body no longer responded."You can get someone for me when th
Young king
While the two boys were talking in the chair. Someone entered the guild, but it was not a normal person. Everyone was surprised to see this person. Even Paul got a little nervous.It was the young king who was dressed in a normal way. He was not wearing guards or anything like that. Everyone was silent and moved away from him out of respect, but he was walking in a provocative way, he wanted someone to try to do something to him to insult or threaten him.Little by little people from the guild were starting to leave. Paul also tried to do the same, but the young king noticed Sabrina. He looked at her for a while and approached her.The black-haired boy sensed a lot of malice in him. Before he approached Sabrina and said something obscene to her, he walked towards her and grabbed her hands."Let's go to that place.""That place?""Yes, let's go."She didn't understand what he was referring to, but decided to leave her post lying around for him. However, the young king interrupted him.
The guild
The next day, Paul returned to the academy as if nothing had happened, but because of the fight with Matheus his reputation had gone down and people avoided him. So he just walked through the corridors of the place. Until he reached his classroom and sat in the loneliest place where no one would bother him.He noticed that students were missing. He thought that possibly they were people who died in the attack and that's why they were not there. He understood that the game was quite intelligent and did not ignore what was going on there. It took into account the people who had died and eliminated them as well. He felt some fear for the teacher and Sabrina, despite everything, they could die and maybe be eliminated as well.Surprisingly, however, someone came into the room. It was one of the king's advisors, not more than forty years old and dressed in black clothes, accompanied by the teacher. She did not hesitate to introduce him."Good morning to all. By order of the king. Syr Jonah,
Spell
Paul went to the area where the noble people lived. He noticed that part of the site where his house was located was gone, he only saw debris on the ground. He could finally see the extent of the damage to the city. He could not recognize that place. Nor the house where he lived.He only thought of going to look for the teacher to ask her what had happened in that place, but while he was trying to run, he saw Matheus appear. He looked very serious and dressed like an academy student in that blue school uniform."You finally showed up. We have a fight pending. Let's see how strong you are now."The black-haired boy became serious and answered her."I don't have time for this, don't fuck with me!""The people you are looking for are living on the streets, now they are begging. The king ordered that no one will help them. Now that you have time to fight with me? Besides, I won't let you go."Paul was quite annoyed, but Matheus wasn't going to let it go just like that. In just a second, t

Paul was taken to a room where the elves and his friend Mark were. No one was happy with the new king, but they had no choice. They considered the ruler to be a bloodthirsty man who could lead that kingdom to destruction.Calm returned to that city and the armies had already returned and had to present themselves to their new king. Little by little, calm was returning, but no one was happy about what happened.The black-haired boy was in a chair away from everyone. He had regained his health, but he was not feeling well. He had been attacked very hard, which almost killed him, but luckily his reaction helped him to save himself. He had a glass of wine in his hand, it was the first time he drank an alcoholic beverage in that game. He felt very strange at that moment.He leaned back on the table to rest a little. He didn't trust anyone because of what happened, and he felt he had been betrayed. It almost killed him. With those spells.While he was thinking, Matheus, his friend, came to
Betrayal
The next morning the city was in chaos. Apparently there was an attempted coup against the young king, since the people who were involved in that situation, did not try to flee, but tried to destabilize the city of Fischer. So there was a confrontation between dozens of magicians. Paul was just annoyed with the situation, but luckily for him, he didn't have to do any side mission and expose his life. He just went around the city to see what was going to happen to the school. However, despite what had happened, it was now his turn to go on a mission.The royal guard appeared in front of him as he was walking down the street. He stopped him immediately."You must go to the kingdom, they request your presence there."The black haired boy decided to go and see what was going on, he knew that if it was to intervene in the Obelisk, he could go up and surpass level 30 and thus be ready for the tower of 500 floors.He walked through the streets of the city and could see the extent of the dam

All the young men who participated in the illegal fighting were taken to a cell. None of them spoke. They were all silent. No one tried to say anything.As if they were waiting for someone to take them out. Paul was leaning against the grille of his cell. He was a little upset, only calmed down when one of the people tried to talk to him."Don't panic. They usually let us out the next day. We just have to pay a million coins and that's it."Poor Paul didn't like what happened very much. He got even more annoyed and wanted to run away from the place. He avoided looking at the other young men. Until another one of them approached and spoke to him."Ah... It's you."The black-haired boy looked him straight in the face and recognized him."You're one of the ones I saw that day.""Yes, sometimes we do this. It's part of some kind of mission to test our physical abilities and magic""What do you gain by doing this?""Nothing, we just want to distract ourselves a little. We can't do missions
Medium level
Paul stayed more than two hours waiting for his fatigue to reduce a little, but it only dropped 5 points.The black-haired boy had no choice but to leave, the wounds he suffered had damaged him, and he had to try to leave, as he could not continue. However, he was in a dangerous area in which he had entered himself. His only objective was to walk fast and avoid encountering other creatures, but in spite of that he moved away from there. Out of nowhere appeared the wolves that lived in that area.As they were so fast, Paul decided to call the Yeti's spirit. In a matter of seconds the Yeti was back, but his eyes were blue, very different from a few hours ago. He had the mallet in his hand and walked up to the wolves and hit them with it. Paul just watched that, and tried to avoid moving so much. He walked away from the place while the fight was going on. Until he was so far away that it was all over. He could see the Yeti appear next to him and his level went up.<
