Becoming a winner in a game is indeed an extraordinary achievement. Highess, in the blink of an eye, could buy whatever he wanted. Now, the room that was previously messy has become even more messy because of the pile of things he buy.He stared at a box containing a new computer to help him run the game and other hardware."Hahahah... this is the day when I can become even more extraordinary..."He didn't know the company giving out this prize was already experiencing losses. Initially, they thought organizing conquest competitions would bring profits, but the profits only amounted to 20 percent of the expenses.A large meeting was immediately held by the director with the managers and employees, even Grey, the game developer, had to attend this meeting.The atmosphere was quite tense; they felt reluctant to look at each other, and the director's figure responsible for all of this truly exuded an intimidating aura.Homington sighed, the room was silent long enough to make throats dry
Highess had just woken up, and he glanced at the monitoring screen that was still on. He casually stretched his arms before refocusing his attention, watching the ending of the game that had once been the highlight of his life."Finally, after years, I can play the games I always wanted to play, and everything is done..."This was life for him, without anyone to hinder, scold, or criticize his activities. In the three months since his victory, he had spent a lot of money on buying gaming devices, living expenses, and all other necessities.He even dined in luxurious restaurants to satisfy his long-held dreams, but one thing he disliked was using this money to invite a woman to a hotel. He could have done it, even able to get a woman of the highest quality, but he considered engaging with others would only complicate his life.This was the life he desired, his body taken out to enjoy the sparkling morning air under the touch of the sun's rays."After living for so long, only now do I f
The chase that took place attracted many people, leaving them wondering what was actually happening. Two people being chased by five others was no joke; the movements of these five individuals were quite fast.One of the five executed an extraordinary move, landing in front of Highess and the female player. They both wouldn't be able to escape if that person caught up with them.However, Highess quickly maneuvered sideways, choosing a narrow path to follow. He had to collide with many objects, making it difficult for him to see ahead."What... what's happening right now? Why are they chasing me?" Highess glanced backward, seeing many people heading towards him at high speed. "These people...""Hey, follow me..." said the girl waving her hand."Since when was she there?" Highess didn't realize the girl had moved swiftly past him.Without delay, Highess's footsteps entered a deserted alley. As the five turned, they couldn't see any trace of Highess and the girl.Their eyes were only met
Highess's heart wasn't easily letting go of the anger that seemed to have stuck so strongly, his hands remained clenched with a face full of vigilance.The silence of the night atmosphere made his heartbeat clearer.Tap! Tap!Rush..."That creature is still stalking me!" His instincts had been on high alert for a while now, sensing the dangerous silhouettes of several predatory animals lurking around.Highess continued to walk casually, pretending not to notice what was around him. But suddenly, an object jumped out."Graagh..."A 3-meter monster with sharp claws and fangs rushed towards Highess without hesitation."I understand that ambushes like this happen often..."Swung...With agility, he swung an attack that made the monster stagger and fall. Highess's attack was quite strong, though not accompanied by any special ability, but it was still not enough to injure the monster."Hmm... it's interesting to face a wolf in such a dense forest!"Indeed, the creature attacking him resemb
They were already in position, ready to attack, each holding firmly onto their thoughts. The first attack began with Natalia unleashing various shots. At this moment, Highess remained unfazed, stepping forward while deflecting each attack."Uh..." Natalia was quite stunned by this action. Highess continued to hold off her attacks, frequently shooting afterward to aim him steadily.And, as the moment was found, she released a high-speed shot.Highess, busy with several other shots, was startled when one shot flew toward his face.Fortunately, this attack could be avoided; he almost being hit by the shot, which even caused his face to be slightly worn by the energy ball's effect.He stopped for a moment when Natalia no longer aimed her shots. Surely, this wasn't a good sign. Their eyes clashed in anger, continuing to intimidate each other."I'm impressed that you managed to dodge my earlier attack! But, I won't hesitate to do something more dangerous than before..." Natalia switched her
Highess's breath quickened, he didn't faint, but only grimaced in pain. Staring at the hole in his chest, the indication of health points showed a decrease of 79 percent."Damn, why could I be so careless?" he muttered with a tone of frustration.The remaining health points were truly concerning; in moments like this, every moment was precious. The moment when the opponent is on the brink of death and no longer able to fight back is the pinnacle of action that must be taken."I can see that you seem to be in quite a bad state..." Natalia purposely said this, provoking Highess, who had been glaring fiercely at her since earlier. "Though you're agile and able to fight well, luck won't support you in surviving any longer..."Highess really wanted to jump and deliver a deadly blow, but even if he could do that, Natalia would surely easily dodge it.The next opportunity was only to replenish health points by quickly drinking a potion; his hand moved to gulp down the potion.Bam...Unfortun
"You're quite adept at speaking wisely, but do you understand that such things won't work at this time?" Natalia replied firmly, still in a vigilant position."I know that, at least in the game, there's a conscience that can be upheld!" Highess's face became more somber, reflecting the silent night sky, his turbulent mind longing for a moment of peace.This attitude seemed to irritate Natalia, a calmness filled with high levels of intensity."You seem to be full of clear thoughts, but can you say such things after having a lot of money? What if you were in a hard time? Do you have the ability to say this?"Highess turned away from the facts that had been stated; indeed, his life had felt difficult before. Complaining had become a daily routine; he kept hoping to change his fate, and when everything came true, it seemed normal."True..."Natalia raised an eyebrow at this statement, observing Highess's calm demeanor as he admitted to it."I understand the life I led before was full of d
"Hah..." Highess lifted his head. "What was that just now?" Just as he heard a really terrifying sound that woke him up from bed.His head was slightly spinning from sleeping too long, coupled with the medicine he took that indeed had side effects. He glanced at the clock, showing 6 p.m."It's only evening!" Then he got up, stretching his body, scratching his back a bit, and returned to his seat in front of the computer, opening several websites to find new information.His eyes widened instantly, and the drowsiness that had affected his body suddenly vanished. He saw a notification about an update in the game he was playing."The competition has been announced, and the second competition of the year will be held 2 weeks from the spread of this announcement..." He fell silent with a thousand thoughts, many strange ideas spreading wildly.With the wealth he had acquired by now, he might not need to participate in competitions anymore, but he was still curious. As an older gamer, he wou
