Ismog and his friend named Denma wore happy smiles. The wrinkles on Highess's face became a pleasant sight.

It's clear that a player facing two opponents at once will encounter problems, but it wasn't expected these problems would become so complicated.

"I didn't expect it to turn out like this! Moreover, they seem intent on making me go through all of this!" The poison in Highess's body had begun to take effect. Every passing second weakened him, and continuing this fight would only worsen his condition.

Of course, if the poison had to be neutralized with an antidote, it was in the pouch at his waist. He might be able to take the antidote, but he wouldn't be given the chance.

Tap!

The time had come. Ismog moving at full speed, gripped his brightly shining axe.

"Berserker Impact..." He came before Highess's face, raising the axe and swiftly bringing it down.

Swings...

Highess tried to dodge, but his body seemed sluggish. The effect of Sacrifice Buster had worn off, slowing his movemen

    For some time now, Highess couldn't believe he would encounter such aggressive players. He slumped into his seat, gazing at the blue sky from the terrace of his house."Sigh... I never thought playing a game would have such a significant impact on my body!" Highess felt like stopping all of this, but he remembered that both real-life and in-game experiences would present similar challenges.Whoosh...The sudden breeze stirred, immediately prompting his body to enjoy life. Highess lifted his head, taking a deep breath."This is the life I might long for, but I never thought a life like this would be so difficult..." He remembered the difficult times when even finding food was a challenge, even though now he could live lavishly with everything already provided.But, the regret still remains. When all the desired expectations do not come true, it is the most unpleasant thing to experience in life.At the same time, Grey's mind suddenly drifted to memories of the past. He fell silent, sta

    "Damn, what a day..." Highess said after being chased by several players who were so enthusiastic, from behind many shurikens had already been thrown.Kaboom! Kaboom...As soon as they touched an object, explosions immediately erupted. Not just one, but more than five shurikens were thrown by the players at once."Seriously, who are they?" Highess asked, looking back.There were three people chasing Highess, each of them wearing tight black armor resembling ninja clothing, covering their faces and moving quickly."I hope they're not bounty hunters deliberately looking for me for some purpose..."Since that signal came into effect, he had started encountering players frequently. Maybe it was just a coincidence, but most of the players indeed seemed to want to have fun by facing him.He could endure and be patient with this situation, but finally, everything had its limits. He had to be prepared for situations like this.Kaboom...A large shuriken was thrown, shattering tree branches an

    "I won't have time to avoid these attacks, what should I do?" asked Highess, who currently had a sharp weapon drawn in front of him, ready to tear his skin and body apart.But, at this moment, he didn't lose hope, clenching his teeth with sharp eyebrows. Then, Highess took a defensive stance, tightening the muscles in his legs and hands.Crash...A painful slash hit Highess's skin, but it wasn't the hope of these players. They raised their eyebrows as they watched Highess daringly withstand the attack using his palm.The sword's tip nearly injured Highess's body, but it was still able to be blocked. Highess's eyes sharpened with a wide grin on his face.The player seeing the expression in Highess's eyes, was overwhelmed with a chilling feeling. With little time left, he was surprised by Highess suddenly pulling his sword and then moving closer to him."You're caught!"Crash...This torturous slash made the player spontaneously release his grip on his sword. His left shoulder was injur

    Highess sat with a breath full of exhaustion. "If every time I play this game and encounter players like this, I might not last much longer!" Highess stared sadly at the sky in front of him, it was truly calming, but he also felt foolish.Setting everything aside, for now Homington the director of the game, could only now turn his attention to his laptop screen. He was trying to focus, but his secretary arrived."What is it, Anna?" Homington asked firmly."I apologize for disturbing your time. I came here to convey information the increase in players is quite high..." Anna not only said this verbally, but also presented evidence through data from her tablet."Hmm...." Homington pondered seriously about this. He did not doubt Anna's words; even though they were just words, he understood that she worked professionally and would not provide false information.As Anna had conveyed, it matched the increase in revenue. Opening up competitions led to many curious players flocking to particip

    "Hachoo... what's wrong with my body? Could it be that I'm getting sick!" Highess frowned as he remembered how his body had to be under care. Quickly, he headed to the storage shelf, where there were some pain relievers.Even though he lived in an uncleaned room, he still took care of his health. After all, if he got sick, no one would feel sorry for him or care about him.Here he still had to behave like an independent person, not complaining about the situation."Where?" His hand checked several bottles that were thought to have pills, and indeed there were some pills there, unfortunately not all the pills he needed.With a flu like this, there was no way he could play games comfortably. Forcing himself to play games while sick would have a very bad impact, and many deaths often occur due to players pushing themselves too hard when playing games.Highess didn't want his fate to be like most people who were too focused on playing games to pay attention to their condition. At the very

    The thunderous roar was so loud it spontaneously created thick black smoke. Hemia who had passed through that area, was startled. She didn't know why there was such an explosion, especially since she hadn't experienced anything when passing through the area before."Have I missed something?" A strange feeling crept over her. She wasn't sure if approaching all of this would lead to something much better, but she couldn't just ignore her feelings.At the scene, the players who had been hiding were now lying helpless. It was all because of the bomb from earlier."Heheheh... it's so easy to get points from these players..." said a man with a punk-like appearance, wearing a tank top and even a nose ring.He easily grabbed bottles containing blue fairies, each bottle emitting a captivating glow."Hehehehe... I'm amused, I never expected to get all of this in such large quantities. This might be my lucky day...""Are you sure that's luck for you?""Who's that?" The man was startled to hear t

    "For next time, it's best if you just rest, don't overexert yourself! Your body condition will soon improve, and these are the medicines you need to take regularly..." said a nurse, her sweet face continuing to maintain a smile towards Highess.But Highess didn't seem to respond very warmly to that, his eyes still giving a gaze as if wanting to pounce. However, he still tried to be friendly, even though it felt very hard to do so.Highess took all the medicine and his affairs were done, walking with a face looking towards the sky covered with clouds, enveloping the atmosphere with a gloomy mood."Goodness, have I done something to deserve all this?" The initial plan was just to buy some medicine to help alleviate his flu, but due to overthinking, he ended up checking his body condition.Fortunately, he didn't find any serious illness, just fatigue as usual. However, according to the doctor who examined him, if left unchecked, Highess's condition would worsen, so he was advised to cont

    Lisa continued to ponder what lay ahead of her, deeply amazed by everything she witnessed."Why did I just realize this now?" She watched the video once again, noticing the prominent players who were at the top. "Every week, all game updates will be refreshed, surely this is because of the unpredictable game conditions! Moreover, can new players compete with the top players?"Slowly, throbbing in her head emerged, and Lisa immediately leaned back, feeling distressed by these thoughts."I can't even think about whether this situation is really advantageous. If everyone desires that prize, surely it must be very difficult to obtain!" Her eyebrows furrowed spontaneously, one calculation she must not forget; currently, her ranking was number two, while the prize to be given would be money only for the champion."I forgot, to get the highest prize, I have to surpass the highest player's score! Zegar, this player seems very tough, even his name is quite famous in various conversations, his

    Because this is what is called a competition that can never be predicted

    Grey put on a smile as he observed Highess's reaction in this situation."Indeed, I couldn't possibly let players like you win the competition again." He did feel irritated the game's security system had been breached by someone else, resulting in internal damage, but seeing this turn of events, he couldn't help but feel pleased."How could you, why are you doing this, Miyoko..." Highess uttered softly as his health points continued to decrease."Forgive me, but I won't waste this golden opportunity! I've witnessed directly how you fought against Zegar, and I understand that both of you are impossible to defeat! But I still have a chance, and this is the most appropriate way to defeat you..."Highess's eyebrows furrowed upon hearing all this. "Don't you feel ashamed of doing this? You're just destroying the pride of a samurai, I know that samurai insisted on upholding honesty...""I know, I know that! But, here it's not about upholding the dignity of a samurai, but it's about my own d

    Tings...The Twister Buster is an attack that delivers a double blow, but it's not as easy as that. Right now, Highess facing the opponent is putting up a difficult resistance to withstand. Even now, his strength feels unmatched."I've filled up my energy, but still, this man power is too great, and I can't balance it..."Tings...And, finally, he is thrown back again. His body floats in the air, presented with a beautiful sight."Yes, I understand that facing him is impossible, but still, I want to do it. I can't accept defeat against others..."Thud...His back lands very hard; it's over for Highess for now. He can move freely, but in reality, he could get up and run, but it would be pointless. Zegar's speed is much higher. Surely, he would easily catch Highess and then kill him.Rather than fleeing like a coward, it's better for Highess to fall with the demeanor of a true knight."I am ready to accept my defeat, and at this moment, my struggle as a player will end..." He can smile

    This time the fight that will be carried out has exceeded normal limits

    Highess began to feel overwhelmed, knowing from the start that facing Zegar would be very difficult.Each slash sent shivers down his entire body, however Highess continued to retaliate with his strength, trying to hold on.Ting.....But, there would come a time when it wouldn't last long, after enduring enough attacks, he was startled as Zegar pivoted to add a deadly kick.Highess was thrown back by this event, glaring at Zegar with sharp eyes. Though not entirely surprised by the attack, he was confused by Zegar's seemingly inexhaustible energy."What's happening here? How powerful is this man really?"Since Divine Phantom was used, Zegar's speed and strength had drastically increased. But, he didn't seem tired."Of all the players I've encountered, he's the toughest and most dangerous!" Highess tightened his grip, racing against time. It wouldn't be long before the effects of Sacrifice Buster wore off, and when they did, he wouldn't stand a chance against Zegar.While there was sti

    It seems that to end this, everything must be at stake

    Zegar's body appeared to be thrown back after receiving an attack from Highess, but here he couldn't afford to be proud; there were still many possibilities.It was clear that Zegar was still able to stand."Seriously, won't he still be able to defeat me? He must have accessories that can withstand damage, and he must still have great strength..."It was time for Zegar to bring out an item; he gulped down the contents of a purple bottle, and Highess's eyes widened at the sight.He vividly remembered that purple in this game was synonymous with poison and abnormal enhancements; in other words, it was the power to boost statistics to a certain extent."Don't tell me he just drank an item of terrifying potency? Seriously, am I not going to survive this?" he asked towards the sky which now looked bright."Be happy, during my time playing this game, I rarely act aggressively like this! I'll make you experience a real fight!" he said firmly, and Highess couldn't take it as mere words.The o

    Two People Trying To Find Calm In This Situation

    "The strength that is too high might indeed burden the mind, and I can understand if you're a tough player!"Highess didn't blink, he kept observing Zegar's behavior, which had felt odd since earlier. Clearly, in a fight like this, such actions shouldn't be taken; excessively praising one's opponent would leave a very bad impression, and it was evident in how Highess's mood changed significantly."If I can't do something, I will lose to him! He also seems very calm facing me, in other words, he no longer cares about various things..."Zegar accelerated his steps, starting with one tap, then instantly delivering towards Highess.Tings...Attacks splattered out in the form of high-energy flows, possibly making the entire body feel pressure.Tings...Highess responded with a wide-eyed glare, managing to throw Zegar off balance, and then getting ready for the incoming attack.Tings...Exuding a high-level force, but there seemed to be no sign of fatigue between them. And, they began the f

    Duel For The Winner

    The monsters, after hearing this, immediately assumed a defensive position. Players stood with blank faces against the monsters."Why are there still active players at this early hour?" He remembered the habit of playing games tends to make everyone forget about time; he could understand if the player was experiencing the same, forgetting everything, including sleep time.And, if he saw one player here, then his brain told him there would be three players present; if not him, then it would be either Miyoko or Zegar. However, from the imposing appearance, wearing black armor, with a cold gaze, he could be none other than Zegar.He didn't expect to meet that player here, but it would be a shame to miss the opportunity to see what that player would do.Crash...Instantly, his eyes widened; the five monsters could be defeated very easily, without much effort."Hmmm... so he truly is a highly skilled player..." Highess muttered, noticing his trembling hand for no clear reason."Relax, I am

    Lack of time to think

    Highess then looked ahead and saw the atmosphere was very quiet. It was strange for him to think tat this early hour, he would encounter any players. This time was meant for relaxation, especially since today was the day the competition would end.He quickly checked the competition statistics and couldn't say anything after seeing that only a few players were present."Why is it like this? Did many players go on a killing spree yesterday because I wasn't active? But if that happened, why didn't the points of other players increase much?"Highess's points still remained at the top, while Zegar and Miyoko were still below him, with Miyoko's points not moving at all, remaining stagnant.He remembered the last time they met, wondering how it would be if they met now. Before, he wanted to be seen as a teacher, whatever kind of teacher that meant, but Miyoko was very serious about it."If she meets me, I'm sure she'll be angry..."Their parting seemed somewhat pointless. Highess easily left

    In Circumstances Like These Time is Very Important

    The situation became increasingly unfavorable until the shinobi began to shiver; he understood that fighting Highess one-on-one wouldn't be advantageous. So, he chose to flee instead."Oi..." Highess quickly pursued the player, unwilling to let a player who had attacked him get away so easily.He quickly attempted to chase the man, but he had to admit that his body speed wasn't good enough to catch up."Darn, if only I could have much higher speed, maybe I could catch him..." Highess grumbled, but it was futile; he still had to accept this as his defeat."Huh... that player's movements are incredibly fast; it seems I don't have many options..." As he said this, he indeed didn't have many options left; he had to let go of this incident.Returning to where the players had been, he noticed the bottles owned by the two players. After transferring, he received only 100, which was completely useless. Even hunting fairies directly would have been much better than this."Meh, I tried my best

    "No, don't do this to us..."Crash...The players who had thought they could survive had experienced a terrible event. Lately, players had been ruthlessly hunted by others, but this had become normal. It was clear they would remain targets."W-Why, why are you doing this?" asked a player who had lost his job before. His eyes begged for mercy, but a sword was already stuck in his body. It wouldn't be long until he lost consciousness."It's simple. Players like you are not needed!" replied the player, disdainfully staring at them.As the next day arrived, Highess decided to log in and see what the situation was."Huh..." He was surprised. Right before his eyes, he saw indications the situation had changed drastically. "Changes are happening so quickly. Weren't there around 100 players before? Why are there only 10 left now? Did many players engage in massacres yesterday?"He wasn't surprised by this. It was evident that all players were becoming increasingly panicked. With only three da
