"I thought I could feel what it's like to get new gear earlier, now I have to wait about 1 week from now!" Whether he liked it or not, procedures like this had to be done by Highess. After playing for quite long, he decided to take a break.
Lying on the bed, his mind lingered on the atmosphere inside the game, so liberating. It felt like it had been happening for years, and his body missed that atmosphere.
"If only my life were in the game..." The exhaustion
"Wind Blade Slash..." Strong gusts of wind swept through the path of his attack, suddenly opening up the floor, and scattering debris across the hallway."Really terrifying! The sword's power you wield is truly fascinating; I never expected to witness it..."This wasn't fun or a source of pride for Beni; they had been engaged in battle since earlier, but there were still no signs of either of them losing.Slashes with such destructive force were advantageous, but when paired with an agile opponent, it felt futile. Beni kept trying to injure Douger, with no time to continuously face a player like this. Unfortunately, his opponent this time was a tough player who had outmaneuvered him several times before."I have to try to stop his movements, but how?"Swush! Swush!Douger's body leaped around, not only that, but his hands also threw many sharp knives that had to be avoided. Beni's passive protection activated whenever an attack came, his eyes widened upon realizing the thrown knives c
There wasn't much time to wait for the equipment; Highess still had to take action. Based on what he had seen last night, for a while, it was better for him to stay within the normal gaming path.There was a high likelihood of him becoming an easy target when facing opponents like that.One large horned monster had already been successfully defeated, its immense size making an imposing impression on the players. This was indeed a suitable habitat for such creatures that served as the area's boss.At this moment, Highess enjoyed the view from atop the monster's head. His eyes froze as he stared at the sun bidding farewell from a distance; everything would change in the silent night."Three hours, three hours I've been trying to defeat this monster..." he yelled, his voice echoing across the empty field.Due to the previous events, Highess became more reckless. With courage, he ventured into a territory, aiming to find the boss monster and the creature dominating the area, a large bison
A strange wind of desire crept through every part of the body, at the moment he had been waiting for meeting the mysterious figure in the darkness of night. That wasn't what he should worry about; he will have more difficulty if he meets other players who have crazy thoughts.Those pair of eyes moved, and their movement was quite strange for a player, its head extending with its body bowed."Darn it, at a time like this, the moonlight still hasn't appeared! Wait, I have the power to see in the darkness of the night!"Highess's eyes began to light up, and the area around him gradually began to make sense to him. The owner of the mysterious figure seemed clearly visible, with its long body and sharp eyes.A huge snake with a massive body, moving slowly closer. Its head lifted upwards, standing tall while staring at Highessjust standing tall.Swush...Without much further thought, the immobilized prey became an easy target for it.With lightning-fast movements, the snake approached, its
"Ugh... so exhausting, I thought earlier would be the day of my demise!" sighed Highess, who had just finished taking off his gaming device, his body lying down to feel the comfortable sensation. The mattress, though no longer plush, provided a refuge where he could forget life's hardships.However, one important thing slipped his mind. For the past two weeks, he had only spent time playing games, forgetting his grand purpose for doing all of this."Tomorrow, huh..." He wasn't sure if tonight would be a time for his muscles and bones to rest peacefully; slowly, his eyelids shut tight. The sensation was all too familiar, everything he had been through seemed to linger in his mind only to haunt him. As the night deepened, the silence dulled everything, and eventually, he fell into a dream phase that brought a smile to his lips.But all over, morning came, causing his eyes to open again, though it was hard to accept reality. Highess's face turned towards the wall, and he quickly sat up,
So far, Highess hadn't encountered many difficulties. He walked casually through the dungeon passage, but occasionally there would be apparitions.Mostly undead, which causes a nuisance due to their large numbers. It didn't bother Highess much; even if his body would be injured from sudden attacks.Crash...And the choice to finish this with a single strike was the best way; the monsters there instantly fell helpless"They keep appearing endlessly. Indeed, exploring dungeons like this should be done together with friends! But..." Highess mused as he looked at the road ahead, a gripping silence enveloping him. He didn't need to be overly afraid because this was just a game, but it still felt like an unusual experience.Following the path, he found a fork to the right."Uh..." Just as he was about to pass by it, he was suddenly startled by the sight of a monster hovering in the passage.With caution, Highess peered from behind the wall, noticing this creature was different from the und
Highess wouldn't immediately do anything; he set a save data point. Once he finished, he quickly turned off the gaming device."Yawn... how long have I been playing this game?" His eyes fixed on the clock, 5 o'clock in the evening, the sunset's light creeping through the piles of trash that inhabited Highess's home. "It's only 5 o'clock, I should have played longer, but..."Crack!His body felt stiff, especially his back, which had been lying continuously, causing the pain to escalate rapidly.He got up and headed to the kitchen, splashing water on his face, then gazing at his own face with a challenging expression. The combination of weary eyelids and a pale face was truly a pitiful sight for him.There was no denying that he missed his school days, a carefree life unburdened by life's problems. Having pure aspirations like a newborn chick, but it seemed like a memory too bitter to remember.Sipping a cup of coffee, then sitting on the porch, enjoying the beautiful evening view, he c
"Player?" Highess asked, confused, after finding a body lying on the ground. He was confused about who was in front of him. The figure had a human-like body but was also clad in sturdy armor."Hmm... very strange..." This was because Highess often encountered dominant traps; in the dungeon, there were various traps, including a sudden rising of a corpse that attacked him.And even if this were a boss area or a semi-boss, it was still too early. He had only reached a few floors, with four more floors to go until he reached a location where he might encounter enemies.For now, it was better for him to check first. He turned the person's body over, revealing a girl. She was panting, with a frown on her forehead."Player?"The girl's name was Nemila, wearing standard armor, indicating that she was a beginner who had accidentally entered the dungeon."Are you okay?"There was no answer, so Highess inserted a potion into the girl's mouth. Her reaction was swift; she opened her eyes and look
"You dare say that boldly, but it seems you truly are a foolish insect!""Eh..." Highess scratched his head after hearing her words. "Earlier, you called me a clever insect, and now you say I'm a foolish insect! What exactly are you trying to say? Don't make this complicated...""What I want to say is, you are a disgusting insect..."Highess felt a headache coming on as he tried to respond to this problem; he had clearly tried to remain calm earlier. But, now he was faced with a woman of fierce temperament.Highess sighed deeply. "Everywhere there are people with such personalities; they often insult others based on desired ideologies, and if not followed, they become ferocious!"Nemila suddenly took out a bazooka weapon. "Heh... now you will die, disgusting insect..."Tsssh...A large bullet was fired towards Highess, its size enough to cause critical damage.Kaboom...Fortunately, with the remaining time, Highess was able to dodge using his speed, gasping as he witnessed it all.The
