[BODY RECOVERY POTION ITEM HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY USED!]

Lucius questioned many confusing things in his life. Including the current situation.

As his eyes opened slowly, Lucius caught sight of a clear sky and a glimpse of the rooftops. Slowly but surely Lucius' ears heard the roar of a vehicle.

For some reason, Lucius even felt that everything was so foreign, like the state of a newborn baby.

What's this? Had he just finished hibernating long enough?

Lucius groaned, holding his temples. "Argh... why does my head... hurt so much?"

Lucius's eyes opened more and more fully. Slowly, Lucius got up and changed his position to sit.

"Hey, is he crazy?"

"Why is he sleeping on the side road?"

"He doesn't have a home?"

"Silly human. Just like a homeless person."

"At least he can rent a hotel or find a place that can accommodate him, why sleep on the sidewalk?"

Lucius frowned after realizing he was surrounded by people. Some of them looked at Lucius strangely, some walked around with a questioning expression on their faces.

Lucius' gaze shifted to himself. Wait, why was he sleeping on the sidewalk—under the long bench that was supposed to be the seat of the residents?

After a moment of gathering his consciousness, Lucius immediately stood up. His body was slightly dazed, but he was able to quickly balance his position.

"Hey, don't you know a suitable place to sleep? If you don't have a house, you can sleep at your neighbor's house!" said a man who looked at Lucius in annoyance.

"That's right! The sidewalk is the right of the road users! You can't disturb the comfort!" said another resident.

Knowing these citizens were annoyed at him, Lucius bowed to them repeatedly. His smile curved awkwardly. Lucius was truly embarrassed.

"Sorry, everyone. I'm really sorry!" Lucius answered explaining to all of them.

One by one the people who had gathered surrounded him had dispersed. Lucius still grinned uncomfortably, walking down the sidewalk with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Lucius lowered his head in shame. He try as much as possible not to stare at the shopkeeper who had seen him sleeping on the sidewalk earlier.

'Shit, why did I have to do such an embarrassing thing?' Lucius thought cursing himself.

Lucius then lifted the hood of his hoodie to cover his head. In between steps, Lucius heard someone shouting his name.

"Emanuel Lucius!"

Lucius' steps stopped. He half turned to the side with his head still down. Lucius was still reluctant to show his face after the incident when he was caught sleeping on the sidewalk.

"Lucius!" an enthusiastic exclamation sounded along with a pat on the shoulder on his right.

Lucius flinched slightly. He just glanced at a woman with a height only reaching Lucius's shoulders.

"It's you. Why don't you look at me?" protested the girl. "I'm afraid to call the wrong person."

Lucius frowned, looking at the woman with confused look.

"You...." Shit. Lucius had no memory of the woman beside him now.

"Kaylee," she answered quickly. "You've forgotten me?"

Lucius nodded his head in understanding while snapping his fingers once. He couldn't possibly tell Kaylee that his brain didn't remember at all.

"Ah, yes. I almost forgot," Lucius answered with a chuckle.

Kaylee snorted, looking irritated for a moment before turning her face enthusiastic.

"Today is the grand opening of one of our favorite bakeries. Do you remember?"

Right after Kaylee said that question, out of nowhere a memory flashed through Lucius' brain. Lucius immediately gasped, closed his eyes, and stopped walking abruptly.

'Wait, a matter of hours before one in the afternoon, our bakery will be grand opening!'

Lucius opened his eyes again. The memory flashed by very quickly. It was as if an echo of a voice was revolving in his head.

"Lucius?" Kaylee called out, rebuking Lucius.

"Yes?" In a daze, Lucius answered.

Kaylee looked at Lucius in surprise. "You are okay?"

Not wanting Kaylee to think he was a freak, Lucius shook his head. An awkward smile curved.

"No. I'm fine," Lucius replied, lying.

Kaylee still couldn't believe it. He caught up with Lucius who preceded him.

"Are you sure?" asked Kaylee again. From the side, Kaylee stepped to watch Lucius' face.

"Hm. I'm sure," answered Lucius without looking at Kaylee.

No more questions from Kaylee. Lucius was relieved that Kaylee didn't try to dig deeper. All Lucius thought about was the memory that flashed through his head earlier.

Why did that memory feel so familiar and bother him?

    Events, monster creatures, missions and chapters, as well as arenas of gameplay are the same. All the memories had gathered clearly in Lucius's brain. Lucius has another piece of memory that hasn't been fully collected: before this incident, it was him who faced the monster creature in the last round, but he didn't win the fight. Then why did Lucius come back alive now? Is the body recovery potion of his choosing Unfortunately, Lucius could not clearly remember what the creature looked like. Lucius also remembered how to fight this centipede monster creature. In the first round, everyone will be busy running around looking for a safe zone in this city arena. As is now happening. People were running here and there in fear and confusion. Panicked screams could be heard from everywhere—which actually provoked the centipede monster creature to make even more strange sounds.

Then on the system's blue screen status window in front of his face, a caption appeared. [STAT POINT INFO] [HP: 1000/1000] [MP: 100/5000] [AGL: 14/150] [INT: 10/150] [DFN: 17/150] [MTL: 10/150] After reading the information caption, Lucius curved a small smile. His guess was right about something hidden in the centipede monster's body. "Woah. Where did you learn that?" Kaylee, who was sitting beside Lucius, looked at Lucius unexpectedly. Lucius' breathing was irregular as he sat against the wall. He rested his strength after the short battle just now. "I'm just trying not to see from one point of view," Lucius answered, so calm amidst his tiredness. Kaylee smiled faintly. "That'

The surroundings of the tavern never reached the Centipede Monster. Therefore, here, the condition is much safer.Lucius and Kaylee chose to sit in one of the corner seats by the wall. Directly facing the window so Lucius could look out of the tavern.Compared to the city arena where he had fought against the Centipede Monster, this city arena was much tidier. Lucius thought it was fun to find a place where there weren't any bodies lying around.There's also no trace of a gruesome fight left."Excuse me, sir, miss, what would you like to order?"Lucius flinched slightly. But he refrained from looking at the waiter and pulled the hood of his jacket even tighter. He pretended to act like someone was sick, clasping his arms folded across his chest.After the video incident of his fight was spread, Lucius did not want to show his face. H

Lucius noticed very clearly from the reactions of the other players after they got the quest.Unfortunately for Lucius, quests like this were prone to traps.There was no slightest clue for where the key to the door to the second floor of the Central Tower building.There was no notification what monsters they would face.No one knows, behind the fortress walls that surround these five buildings, what traps or dangers are hidden.And, after all, looking for one small object among five large buildings is like looking for a needle in a haystack.Lucius reread the keyword on the skill needed to do this quest: knowledge of logic.'The time when I ran this first round, I was too fool to realize the keyword was in the skills required,' Lucius said to himself.Lucius' grin curved.

    A tense situation ensued when the players scrambled to climb the fort's walls.Ever since Lucius had given Kaylee instructions to speed up the wall-climbing movement, the two of them focused their gazes on the door. The color of the door is vague. That's why Lucius hoped that no other players would quickly notice.'In a minute,' Lucius said to himself. 'Come on, Lucius, catch the clock!'Beneath the players, the piles of scorpions and black crabs were already growing. Nearly half of the castle walls were covered in creatures that were piling up on each other."Hey, you two! Where are you going?!" A player, a mature man around thirty years of age, called out to Lucius.Lucius turned to the grown man. His face grimaced as he held his own weight. He hesitated to answer the man's question."You, young man! Are you trying to win alone?!" The grown man spat out curt words. His tone almost sounded like swearing.On the other hand, Lucius and Kaylee looked at each other. They both didn't know
