2024-10-29 19:42:56The town had been quiet and calm since the battle with the Centipede Beast two hours ago.
Lucius and Kaylee decided to go to a tavern some distance away. 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. He had sworn, and of course told Kaylee.
Even though his face was blurred in the video, Lucius' worries were too great. Who knew that it turned out that people in other arenas could recognize him so easily?
"Two lattes and... do you want some teriyaki sauce potatoes too?" Kaylee asked Lucius.
Looking out the window of the tavern, Lucius nodded his head. His behavior made the shopkeeper stare in astonishment.
"Yes, just order that," Lucius replied curtly.
Kaylee nodded her head. "Two servings of teriyaki sauce potatoes," he continued to the waiter.
After nodding her head, the maid made a note. The waitress repeated Kaylee's order briefly to make sure, then left.
Kaylee made sure the maid's back was completely away. Then he turned his gaze to Lucius and moved forward in his seat.
"Hey, if you always act like that, what if they get suspicious of you?" Kaylee asked, her voice a little whispery.
Lucius now turned his face towards Kaylee. From the look on his face, Lucius didn't seem to care.
"Better to arouse their suspicions than for them to find out my identity," Lucius replied.
Hearing Lucius' answer made Kaylee grunt in annoyance. Kaylee shook her head in disbelief. A very unexpected answer, because Kaylee thought Lucius would be afraid if other people suspected him.
"Suspicion will also threaten your identity, Lucius," Kaylee said firmly, deliberately including a threatening tone.
Unfortunately Lucius wasn't being provoked to worry by Kaylee's words. Lucius was still relaxed and shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"At least if they are suspicious, they will only speculate. But if they see my face directly, my identity will definitely be exposed."
Lucius' firm words were enough to show that his stance would not change. Then Kaylee wouldn't be able to force Lucius' opinion anymore.
Kaylee leaned back and crossed her arms over her chest. Lucius' attitude had not changed when he thought about it. Even though they have been friends since childhood.
"Have any new quests appeared yet?" asked Lucius who was trying to open the blue screen status window in front of his face.
Kaylee shook her head. "Nothing's showing up. Looks like other people haven't gotten the new quest either."
Lucius stopped waving his arms repeatedly from in front of his face. He exhaled slowly, placing his hands in front of his chest.
Lucius's eyes scanned around the tavern. Everyone was busy holding their cell phones. I don't know what they were watching until their faces were so serious.
"You think, why suddenly a monster appears?" she asked.
Lucius turned his gaze to Kaylee. "I dunno," he replied.
'In my memory, I can't find why those monsters could appear,' continued Lucius said in his mind.
"I was really worried thinking what would happen." Kaylee took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly.
Lucius was silent, his eyes serious on Kaylee. His mind began to imagine the events of the round of the game he had passed. Why is it that in the last act, Lucius is alone and no Kaylee?
Shortly after Lucius had that thought, someone's voice from the side was heard.
"Excuse me sir, miss, this is the order."
The waiter placed all of Lucius and Kaylee's orders on the table. While placing plates and glasses one by one, Lucius was very aware that the maid glanced at him a few times. There was suspicion radiating through his eyes.
Because he didn't want to care too much, Lucius just clasped his hands together in front of his chest. Lucius didn't want to show his face to the maid.
"Thank you, Waitress." Kaylee deliberately relaxed as if not noticing that the maids were seen investigating Lucius.
After the waitress left their dining table, Kaylee could breathe a sigh of relief. Kaylee had been tense before thinking about the worst possibility if the maid forced Lucius' hood to open.
"You really are—"
[BREAKING NEWS!]
Kaylee wasn't done talking yet. His attention and Lucius' attention had already shifted to the sound of the television that suddenly displayed a piece of news.
"Several monsters are known to have attacked several points of the city and caused damage everywhere. The identified death toll is two hundred and fifty one people..."
Lucius's brow furrowed at the news the anchor brought on the television. Not only did Lucius and Kaylee's attention become very focused, but also the attention of all visitors in this tavern.
"There is no certainty regarding the origin of the monsters that attacked several points of the city. However, the total losses have been confirmed—"
Silent.
The television channel suddenly turned off.
That brought surprise from everyone, including Kaylee and Lucius.
Lucius immediately straightened his sitting position. After the television turned off, someone's panicked voice was heard and followed by screams.
"Cell phone signal off!"
Lucius and Kaylee looked away again. As all the visitors finally checked their phones, the two of them also checked their phones.
Lucius and Kaylee didn't understand why the signal suddenly went out. Both of them have tried to open social media, but nothing can be opened.
But strangely they get a signal to just open Vtube.
At that moment, the frantic exclamations of all the visitors made the atmosphere feel chaotic. Lucius and Kaylee looked at each other in wonder and questioning.
Before they could calm down, a notification notification appeared once again on the system's blue screen status window.

The Reborn of System Player Chapter 6. Lucius & Some Selected People
Lucius had not yet had time to digest the events that were unfolding.Before Lucius really understood the meaning of the quest sentence that had just appeared, suddenly someone knocked on his desk twice.Lucius and Kaylee's attention was raised. Both of them looked up, realizing that someone who had come to their table was the waiter who had delivered their order earlier.The waiter's face had turned flat, much different than when delivering food. He immediately grabbed Lucius' hand to make Lucius stand up."Hey, why are you grabbing my hand?" asked Lucius. Not harsh but firm.The maid removed the apron she was wearing, showing a name tag.Lucius read the description of the name tag on the maid's body.[Colonel John Attreas]"Colonel?" asked Lucius between surprise and confusion.John Attreas nodded his head. "You got the message?" he asked.Lucius was even more confused. He saw another man whose body was more robust approaching Kaylee. The man was wearing army clothes, had a serious

[WELCOME TO CONTROL CENTER, PLAYERS! WE WELCOME YOUR ARRIVAL WITH A LOT OF LOVE]Lucius didn't understand what was going on.After he was forced to agree to the army men's invitation, Lucius and Kaylee were taken to a magnificent building. The shape of the building from the outside is like a stadium. The difference is that this building is not open like a stadium, but is closed but with a soaring roof.From the lobby floor, anyone can see the second floor to the fourth floor. While the fifth floor onwards was closed off, it couldn't be seen from below.Lucius and Kaylee were just passing through the lobby floor. The elevator they took moved to the twelfth floor. Then came the view of the wide room. When going inside, this room has two open floors.The second floor divider of this room is hip-high glass for an adult. On the right Lucius could see about five people in predominantly black suits with a bit of white trim at some points.On the left Lucius saw about six people in suits pred

Its height soared almost to the sky so that Lucius was repeatedly amazed.If I recall, this tower had indeed been visited by Lucius during the first round of the game. But Lucius had reached the highest level in a long span of time. So Lucius had slightly forgotten how it felt to see and step on the floor of this tower.[YOU NEED TO COMPLETE GAME CASES AND COLLECT POINTS LEVELS, STAT, AND SKILLS][TAP FOR INFORMATION DETAILS]Lucius' forehead creased in astonishment.

The Reborn of System Player Chapter 9. Scorpions and Black Crabs Monster's
Looking for the Key to Open the Door to the Second Floor of the Central Tower Building.Simple quests. Maybe that's what the people around Lucius and Kaylee thought. 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. In the not too distant future, Lucius must solve

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
The Reborn of System Player Chapter 11. The Messy Building
Lucius thought time was running out to face the monsters on the second circle of walls until he could enter the territory of the five towers. But apparently, after facing the goblin monsters who were blind and slow moving, Lucius was able to arrive at the arena of the five towers.In front of the central control tower, Lucius tried to catch his breath. He managed to get the key hanging from the monster goblin's pocket.Remembering a few minutes ago, when the goblin monsters who were blind and slow moving had wandered about, Lucius arranged the pebbles. Deliberately so that the goblin monsters that came were tricked by the amount of pebbles.The obstacles were much easier than facing the black crab and scorpion monsters."Lucius, let's open the tower door," Kaylee said beside Lucius.After calming himself down, Lucius nodded his head. The players who didn't get the key were waiting for him. But they look still shocked by the incident that they passed a few moments ago.Without caring a

The new Main Quest has been completed.The players returned from the Center Tower. Not all players get the potion hidden in Pandora's box. As a result, several players entered the Central Control Tower with sullen expressions on their faces.Meanwhile Lucius and Kaylee planned to directly enter the dormitory area for the players. They both didn't want to care too much about the other players bemoaning their failures."I think I'm going to go get a drink." Kaylee suddenly stopped walking when they both arrived at the border players' dormitories.Lucius suddenly stopped walking, watching Kaylee. "Are you thirsty?""Of course. I'm also hungry. I heard that there is food provided near the lobby area and anyone is free to take it." Kaylee raised her eyebrows and smiled meaningfully."Really? I didn't know that," Lucius replied. "Yeah, you just go if you want to go there."Kaylee just wanted to step away from Lucius. But after he remembered something, his steps stopped abruptly."Would you
