"A dangerous virus attacked my ring system and damaged it?" Dariel confirmed what he had just heard. The man entered the room, took off his clothes, and walked to the side of the window. The beautiful view of Leaventown did nothing to distract him from the news. This news sounded highly improbable. "Are you serious?" asked Dariel incredulously, eyeing his ring. "My ring is highly technologically advanced and even state-of-the-art with the best security systems. I'm sure you know more about the systems in my ring because you and your colleagues are the ones who keep developing them. How did the virus attack my ring system and damage it?" "We don't believe this either, but that's what we found out after we scrutinized your ring for hours. To get a more definitive answer, we need your ring to be examined in more detail." Dariel sat on the couch, chuckling. "I'll be returning to Oaktown tonight to explain the details and to hand over my ring for you to examine." Dariel disconnected th
Davis had just finished his morning workout. He sat on the beach to rest. Small, calm waves washed over his feet. Time seemed to fly by until he was where he was today."The past few days, I was so busy with the street-fighting championship. I didn't even get enough rest. It was exhausting, but I enjoyed it."Davis looked at his ring. "I haven't gotten the latest Main Quest after completing the quest yesterday."[Host Name: Davis][Family: Miller][Heir Status: Level 5 (31/500)][Health Point: 23/25][Strength: 16 | Defense: 17 | Intelligence: 18 | Agility: 16][Money Power: $1,005,300,000][Update Daily Quest]Davis stood up, watching the holographic screen that showed a row of processing numbers until it reached 100%.[Ding][Daily Quest has been updated][Difficulty level: Easy][Daily Quest: Exercise in the Morning and Practice Martial Arts for Two Hours Every Day][Quest duration: 130 minutes][Reward : 10 exp + $100,000][Daily Quest starts tomorrow]Davis returned home, shaking
The car drove on the highway, entering a long bridge across a river. Two large boats and several small boats could be seen on the river. Davis looked at the skyscrapers that towered proudly in the distance. He saw traffic jams on several roads. Davis looked at the map on the screen. "To the southwest of Pixeltown is Oaktown. If the system hadn't forbidden me, I would have gone to that city. I'm more curious about Oaktown than any other city right now." Davis let out a long breath, slowing down the car as it entered the city center. "System, why haven't I gotten the new quest yet?" [After you complete a difficult level Main Quest, the system will not give you a quest for one day] [The system gives you an extra day because you completed the main quest and the difficult level main quest at the same time] [You can use the time to rest] "I have two days off scheduled." Davis smiled. "I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I'm quite tired after the Street Fighter championship. My w
Davis quickly pulled the woman onto the bridge. "Don't act stupid!""What are you doing?" the woman shouted as she struggled, "Let me go! Don't prevent me from dying!"Davis's shouts and the woman's screams instantly attracted attention. Some pedestrians seemed to stop, some crowds turned toward the bridge, and some cars slowed down.Davis pulled the woman to the sidewalk."You bastard! Why are you preventing me from dying?" screamed the long-haired woman wearing a black mask. The woman cried as she hugged herself, then beat Davis. "Damn it!"Davis looked around. Many people were making a spectacle of him and the woman, but no one was approaching."You shouldn't have acted stupidly like that. No matter how hard your problems are, ending your life is not the right choice," Davis said as he observed the woman who was still crying, "I'm sure there's a way out of your problems."The woman immediately stood up, wiping away her tears, watching Davis up and down. "Stay out of my business! Yo
Davis looked for the woman and found her walking on the sidewalk alone. "I should follow that woman so she doesn't harm herself again."Davis followed the woman to the outskirts of the city. He walked in a dimly lit, deserted alley between two abandoned buildings.Davis came out of the alley. He saw a lot of shabby houses with various used goods arranged next to the houses. Lots of trash was scattered everywhere. A dog suddenly barked when Davis stopped at an intersection.Davis ignored the dog, walking faster when an old man threw something at the dog. He looked around, searching for the woman's whereabouts. "I lost that woman."Davis entered one alley after another until he reached the end of the neighborhood. "That woman either went home or she deliberately brought me to this place because she knew I was following her. What happened to that woman?""You damn woman! Why are you still alive? Didn't I tell you to die and not trouble me and my wife anymore?" someone shouted.Davis fell
"Angela tried to kill herself again. I have to help her."Davis ran very fast, pulling Angela down from the bridge. "Stop doing something stupid!"Angela instantly rebelled. "Let go of me! Get out of my way!"Davis turned Angela around until they were face to face. "Stop doing stupid things! Don't ever hurt yourself again. Your problems won't be solved when you die.""You." Angela frowned when she saw Davis. "Why have you been bothering me since yesterday? If I hadn't met you, I would have been with my mom and dad by now. You're making me suffer even more.""What happened to you? Didn't you promise to try harder?""What do you mean?" Angela was momentarily stunned. "Did you follow me last night?"Davis paused, releasing his hold on Angela's shoulder. "Don't do any more stupid shit. I can help solve your problem." Angela chuckled, staring at the fast-moving cars under the bridge. She would surely die if she fell and was run over by a car. "What do you want from me?"Angela froze when
"My uncle and aunt took all the money I earned from buying all my clothes, but they still kicked me out and wanted me dead. They thought that the money they received was payment for the trouble I had caused them."Davis paused as he recalled almost the same words from Anderson's family."Leave them and start living on your own. You deserve a better life. If you stay with your uncle and aunt, you're burying all your potential.""You say that like it's easy to do."Davis stood up from the chair, facing Angela. "What are your dreams?""My dreams?" Angela rolled her eyes. "You act like a kindergarten teacher when you ask me what I want to be.""You just have to answer.""I... I want to be a famous designer. I want to own a clothing, cosmetics, and accessories company." Angela smiled, then fell silent with teary eyes. Her dream was like a star in the sky that was hard to reach. "That dream feels very difficult and will never be achieved.""I understand now. I will help you."Angela instant
Davis and Angela arrived at the hotel half an hour later. They had to disguise themselves and walk quite a distance to avoid the punks.Davis made his way to the balcony once he arrived at the hotel room, looking out over the night view of the city. "I have four people who have given me their loyalty."[Good job, Host][In the days to come, you will need more confidants to assist you in completing quests and help you to achieve your goals][The quest will appear tomorrow]"I understand. I won't be able to handle all the problems by myself. I need to have people I trust and people who trust me."Davis closed his eyes for a moment, enjoying the gentle breeze, and looking at the beautiful cityscape. "For most of my life, I spent a lot of time in Leaventown. This is the first time I've left Leavetown and visited Pixeltown."Davis was silent for a moment. "I should visit each town to increase my experience as well as my relationships."Davis entered the room, checking forums on the interne
