《White Online》


 Chapter 1 - White Online.

    ''''World''s first, highly anticipated VRMMORPG White Online is going to the sale tomorrow!'''' A female middle-aged News Anchor said with an excited face.


    A middle-aged man next to her smiled and continued, ''''White Online. The game, which has been teased for over 10 years, is finally opening its servers. The World will definitely enter the new era of VR games!''''


    The female News Anchor nodded, ''''White Online. The game, which got its name from beautiful snowyndscapes located in the game is finally here. The games Developers from Legacy Company has revealed that the world''s first real A.I is added into the game. There have also been rumors about NPC''s shown in the trailers, that they are actually New Gen Humans, but that has not been proven, but after A.I got revealed, that rumor got more reliable.''''


    The middle-aged man nodded, ''''Tomorrow, at 12 A.M servers will open, and it will definitely be a busy day for Legacy Company because there have been rumors of over 300 million VR Helmets being sold!''''


    ''''White Online. The world of Legacies will be the sign of New Era.''''


    ...


    In the city called Snowstar.


    It was a beautiful city with attractive-looking architecture and snowyndscape.


    Beautiful and mesmerizing.


    The city was covered in snow, while tall skyscrapers were reaching towards the sky.


    The citizens walking in the streets looked happy and pleased with their lives, but then most of them turned their heads towards the screens.


    The News was shown on every screen on the streets; passersby''s stopped walking and looked at the News with excited faces.


    In front of one of the screens... A white-haired young man was standing while listening to every piece of informationing from the News. He had strikingly beautiful facial features, with delicate-looking eyebrows and smooth-looking skin. You could mistake him for a girl, it didn''t help that his skin looked more wless than any other female around him, which also earned some jealous gazes directed at him.


    Even while standing, he got a lot of attention from nearby passersby''s, but that young man''s concentration was on the screen.


    This young man is Isaac Whitelock.


    He was 18 years old, he should be in school at this time, but he dropped out for unknown reasons.


    Snow started slowly falling down from the sky, which made Isaac wake up from his stupor.


    He started walking in the streets, his every step making footprint on the snow, and a crunching sound.


    Isaac walked a few hundred meters until he came to a stop; he turned his head and saw huge text [VR Helmets 34% Off!]


    It wasing from one of the stores, which was very busy currently¡ª excited teens and adults left the store with a small box in their hands, with a picture of a VR Helmet on the side.


    ''''White Online... Well, I have nothing else to do... Bye my allowance.'''' Isaac wryly smiled and entered the store.


    The area where VR Helmets were sold was bustling¡ª it was almost the only ce with customers.


    Isaac didn''t try to take the VR Helmet forcefully¡ª he waited until there were fewer people and grabbed one of the VR Helmets with tag [299$ - 34%]


    He bought the VR Helmet and exited the store¡ª he got his allowance yesterday, and the first thing he brought was an expensive item that spent almost all of his allowance.


    But Isaac didn''t seem pained¡ª instead, he was curious about the New World he was about to enter.


    He left the area of the store and started walking towards his home.


    It took him 30 minutes to arrive in his neighborhood, but he didn''t seem to be exhausted even slightly, even though his body didn''t look athtletic kind, instead it was very delicate, a body stature which could make everyone''s protective instincts ignite.


    There were two guards in front of the Gates.


    ''''ID.'''' One of the guards said with a neutral face like he didn''t know who the young man was, but there was some visible anger in his eyes.


    Isaac sighed, ''Don''t act like you don''t know me, you dickhead.'' He grabbed his wallet and showed his ID.


    The guard snorted and opened the gate very slowly.


    But Isaac waited and waited until finally, the gate opened, and he managed to enter.


    It only took 3 minutes.


    Isaac entered the neighborhood, ignoring the guards who wereughing after he entered the gates.


    The neighborhood was stunning! All of the houses looked like small mansions withrge yards and their own fences and gates.


    The cars driving in the neighborhood were the most expensive type in the market currently, but it was an ordinary sight in this neighborhood.


    Isaac walked for another 10 minutes until he reached a particr mansion, which didn''t look any worsepared to others.


    The mansion was enormous with over 5 floors and arge backyard and front yard.


    There was a tall fence surrounding the mansion with a beautiful metal gate.


    Isaac walked towards the gates and looked towards the left where the camera was located.


    He waved his hand simply.


    Instantly the gates were opened, and Isaac entered the beautiful yard, with pure white snow covering the ground and beautiful statues ced everywhere in the yard.


    Bushes were surrounding the yard like it was a garden, but the bushes were currently covered in snow, but it gave another kind of beauty to the yard.


    Isaac opened the front door and entered the mansion.


    The interior of the mansion was as beautiful as you could imagine.


    The floor and the walls were beautiful light brown, made of Oak Tree.


    The furniture looked brand new, with paintings all over the walls.


    There was a simple stairway to the second-floor dozen meters away from Isaac, and in front of him was a spacious room with a simple table in the middle of it.


    On the right side of the first floor was a massive kitchen and on the left side was the living room and dining room.


    Isaac took his jacket off and put it on the hanger¡ª he put his shoes gently on the shoe rack and started ascending towards the second floor, but before he managed to do that.


    A voice interrupted him.


    ''''Isaac? Where have you been?'''' A beautiful ck-haired middle-aged woman peeked from the kitchen and asked.


    Isaac turned his head and gently smiled, ''''Mom, I went for a walk.''''


    His mother, Isabe was worried, ''''You shouldn''t have¡ª it is not safe for you.''''


    Isaac sighed, ''''Sorry, mom.''''


    Isabe approached Isaac and was about to hug him, but then she saw him carrying something, ''''What is this?''''


    Isaac saw her looking at the VR Helmet box¡ª he smiled and said, ''''VR Helmet. I heard that a game called White Online will be released, and I got curious.''''


    ''''White Online?'''' Isabe was shocked seeing Isaac showing interest in something, and especially towards that game... She doesn''t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.


    ''''Yes, it seemed interesting, and I decided to try it out,'''' Isaac said with slight excitement.


    Isabe smiled seeing him being excited, but then she crossed her arms, ''''How much did it cost?''''


    ''''Ah...'''' Isaac went silent, he pursed his lips, ''''199$.''''


    Isabe narrowed her eyes, ''''Isaac Vayne Whitelock!''''


    ''''Alright...'''' Isaac scratched his head, ''''299$.''''


    Isabe sighed and wryly smiled, ''''I will give you another 100$ but don''t spend it on games!''''


    ''''Mom, you don''t need to,'''' Isaac said with embarrassment.


    Isabe kissed his cheek and said, ''''End of the conversation.'''' After those words, she returned to the kitchen.


    Isaac sighed and shook his head. He ascended the stairs all the way to the 4th floor and entered his spacious room.


    The room had a massive bed that could fit 5 of him.


    There was arge wardrobe and arge desk next to the window.


    There was also a chandelier hanging from the ceiling, giving the room a cozy feeling.


    Next to the wardrobe was his own private bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and sink.


    Isaac put his VR Helmet on top of the desk and started unpacking it.


    After he was done packing, he put the box on the ground and grabbed the VR Helmet.


    It was a blue-colored helmet with a white-colored visor.


    Isaac knows that it isn''t the most expensive VR Helmet.


    The VR Helmet he bought was Bronze Ranked.


    There are Bronze, Silver, Gold, tinum, and Legendary Ranks.


    5 Ranks in total.


    The Bronze ranked Helmet has a lot of limitations, but Isaac never nned to y the game professionally.


    He thought that after 1-week ying, he would get bored and quit the game. Like it had always happened when he tried out different hobbies.


    Isaac put the VR Helmet back to the box and put it gently on the wardrobe, behind the hundreds of clothes he had.


    ''''Tomorrow... I am feeling kinda excited.'''' Isaac murmured, his mouth curved into a small smile, and he went back to the desk.


    He opened the cab, and there were over a hundred notebooks!


    Isaac took the one in the top and opened it.


    He started writing everything he did today; he has been doing this for the past 3 years, but he doesn''t seem tired of doing it.


    Isaac wrote for half an hour until thest thing he wrote was putting the VR Helmet on the wardrobe.


    After that, he closed the notebook and put it back on the cab, and locked it tightly with his silver-colored key.

 Chapter 2 - Overprotective Family.

    *Ring*


    A bell echoed in the house, signaling that dinner was ready.


    Isaac left his room and started walking down the long corridors.


    He descended the stairs all the way to the bottom floor, also known as the first floor.


    Isaac entered the dining room and saw 6 figures sitting while a lot of food was on the table.


    ''''Isaac.'''' Isabe gently smiled and pointed at the chair next to her.


    Isaac sat down next to her and nced at others individuals on the table.


    In the main seat of the table was a man with short brown hair and grey eyes and handsome facial features. He was wearing his usual business suit, giving him a look of dignity and sternness. He is Isaac''s father, Maxwell.


    On the other side of the table, a young man with slightly longer brown hair and sharp eyebrows. He had a lean body with not much muscle. His looks were quite ordinary, with few unique features. Especially his ear piercings, making him look quite unique. He is Isaac''s big brother, Marvin.


    Next to him, a young boy in his 11s was sitting cheerfully. He had short ck hair with cute features. His blue eyes were scanning every food on the table hungrily. He is Isaac''s little brother, Mark.


    Next to Mark, a beautiful young woman was sitting. She had long brown hair with blue eyes, and a curvaceous body. She is Isaac''s big sister, Sophia.


    Next to Isaac, a beautiful young woman in her 16s was sitting. She had long ck hair with delicate-looking eyebrows, and smooth-looking skin. Her body was petite with moderate-sized breasts, she also has soft-looking lips and a cute pointed nose. She is Isaac''s little sister, Alice.


    And next to Isaac, his mother was sitting. Isabe had beautiful ck hair with blue eyes and an attractive face. Her body was perfect hourss with long legs, not looking any worse after having many children, instead she still looks like she is in her 20s.


    They are Whitelock Family.


    They all put their hands in praying gesture.


    Maxwell opened his mouth, ''''Goddess of Snow. Thank you for blessing this meal.''''


    After that, they took their forks and knives and started eating their dinner.


    Maxwell put a steak in his mouth and gently ate it.


    ''''How was school?'''' Maxwell asked.


    ''''Fine,'''' Marvin answered.


    ''''I got new friends!'''' Mark cheerfully said.


    ''''Fine,'''' Sophia answered.


    ''''It was alright...'''' Alice said quietly.


    ''''...'''' Isaac was quiet.


    Maxwell nodded and turned his gaze towards Isaac, ''''Isaac, what have you been up to today?''''


    ''''I went for a walk today,'''' Isaac answered.


    Maxwell put his fork and knife on the te¡ª he wiped his mouth with a napkin, ''''Why did you do that?''''


    Isabe sighed.


    Alice with worry towards Isaac with concern, and slightly pale face.


    ''''It was only a simple walk...'''' Isaac sighed and replied.


    Alice grabbed his hand, ''''Don''t go alone, ever again!''''


    ''''That was very reckless.'''' Maxwell replied, he looked with gentle eyes towards Isaac, ''''Tell me when you want to go for a walk, I will get bodyguards for you.''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded.


    Isabe then changed the conversation topic, ''''Isaac bought VR Helmet¡ª apparently, he is nning to y White Online.''''


    Maxwell was surprised, ''''Really?''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''I wanted to try.''''


    Maxwell nodded, ''''Mypany invested in White Online as well.''''


    ''''Really?'''' Isaac was surprised.


    Isabe wasn''t surprised¡ª she already knows how much White Online will impact the world in the future.


    Maxwell nodded and kept eating in silence.


    Isaac was about to continue eating but noticed his hand being trapped in Alice''s hand.


    ''''Alice...'''' Isaac whispered.


    Alice turned her adorable yet beautiful face towards Isaac, ''''Yes, brother?'''' She whispered quietly¡ª only Isaac could hear her.


    ''''Can I get my hand back?'''' Isaac whispered and smiled wryly.


    Alice used her thumb to feel Isaac''s soft skin and reluctantly took her hand back.


    Isaac''s smiled wryly because of the overprotectiveness of others, but he started concentrating on his dinner.


    Mark ate quickly, stuffing every food possible into his mouth.


    Marvin and Sophia ate slowly, without a word.


    Isaac emptied his te¡ª he stood up and said, ''''Thanks for dinner.''''


    ''''Are you sure you ate enough?'''' Isabe curiously asked.


    Isaac nodded, ''''I did, mom.''''


    Maxwell then opened his mouth, ''''Isaac, did you decide your ss in the game yet?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''I haven''t seen anything about the game yet.''''


    Maxwell nodded, ''''Decide wisely.''''


    Isaac nodded and left the dining hall.


    Shortly afterward, he arrived at his room again.


    He grabbed hisptop, which was the newest model.


    Isaac went towards his bed and sat down.


    His back leaning on the wall.


    He started typing on theptop the White Online''s website.


    Isaac scrolled down and used his mouse to click [ss]


    [Fighter; Swordsman - Knight - Brawler - Thief - Assassin]


    [Shooter; Marksman - Gunner - Hitman - Archer - Hunter]


    [Support; Medic - Healer - Potion Master - Poison Master - Priest]


    [Mixed; Pdin - Spellcaster - Trap Master - Trickster - Dark Priest]


    [Reminder: There are Hidden sses, but they aren''t necessarily stronger!]


    ''''Fighter... Shooter... Support... Mixed...'''' Isaac looked at the website, trying to find the descriptions of every ss, but didn''t find any.


    A certain forum was also located on the website, which was currently bustling.


    The top three most viewed forums were from yers who were apparently ''''Beta Testers.''''


    Isaac clicked at those forums with curiosity.


    But he was greatly disappointed.


    The Beta Testers only said how amazing the game looked, but nothing about the gamey.


    Obviously, hiding the critical information.


    Isaac left the forums and looked at the rest of the website with curiosity.


    Then he saw a fascinating article.


    [Legacies]


    Isaac clicked it instantly.


    [You need to find Legacy to be able to be a professional in White Online! There are thousands of Legacies, and each one of them makes you dozens of times stronger! But there are, of course weaker Legacies and stronger.]


    [No Legacy; Everyone at the start has No Legacy Rank, which means that you haven''t inherited anyone''s will or techniques.]


    [Ordinary Legacy; A Legacy of not very known figure, but it is still more powerful than No Legacy.]


    [Special Legacy; A Legacy of a well-known figure, it can be a historical figure or a figure from a fairytale.]


    [Mythical Legacy; A Legacy of Legendary figure! It can be a historical figure who is known by everyone, or it can be a very unique existence who might have lived, or not]


    [Godly Legacy; A Legacy of Gods! It is the most powerful type, and if you find one. You are destined to soar to the sky. You will be the Incarnation of the God of your Legacy!]


    Isaac wasn''t very interested in Legacies; it is mainly for the yers who want to go pro.


    Isaac closed theptop and put it away.


    He looked towards the window and saw the sun disappearing from the sky.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    Isaac heard knocking from the door, ''''Come in.''''


    The door was opened by a middle-aged man, his father.


    ''''Dad?''''


    Maxwell nodded, ''''Are you busy?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''I went through the sses and Legacies of White Online.''''


    Maxwell nodded and sat down on his bed, ''''Son, are you nning to y White Online casually or more seriously?''''


    Isaac scratched his head, ''''I am probably going to get bored of it.''''


    Maxwell looked at him, ''''If you don''t get bored, what then?''''


    ''''I will keep ying, I guess...'''' Isaac said, ''''Why are you asking me that?''''


    ''''World... It won''t be simr after White Online... The Legacies will y a big part in it.''''


    Isaac looked confused but listened to his father''s words.


    Maxwell patted Isaac''s shoulder and left the room, leaving confused Isaac alone.


    But then, a few minutester.


    Another knock came.


    ''''Come in,'''' Isaac said.


    A beautiful and adorable-looking girl in her 16s opened the door this time.


    ''''Alice,'''' Isaac said with a smile.


    Alice sweetly smiled and sat down on his bed.


    ''''You shouldn''t have gone outside¡ª I got worried.'''' She pouted and said.


    Isaac rolled his eyes, ''''I am your big brother¡ª I should be worried about you.''''


    Alice giggled and moved closer to Isaac, ''''Worried... About what?'''' She turned her beautiful blue eyes towards Isaac.


    ''''Of many things,'''' Isaac said.


    Alice pouted, ''''That was not correct answer.''''


    Isaac chuckled and lied down on the bed.


    Alice lied down as well and put her head on his shoulder.


    ''''My friends talked about White Online today... Most of them n to skip school to y it.'''' Alice said.


    ''''The game seems interesting.'''' Isaac nodded.


    Alice turned her head towards him, ''''Be careful of the girls, alright?''''


    Isaac smiled, ''''Why?''''


    ''''They might trick you'''' She said gently, she left the bed and ran towards the door.


    Isaac scratchd his cheek, ''''I won''t be tricked, you know me.''''


    Alice turned her head and showed her tongue, ''''You are usually very dense!''''


    Isaacughed and shook his head, ''''In the past, yes... But I am now more careful.''''


    Alice opened the door; she took ast nce towards Isaac.


    She pouted, ''You should have known that your best friend liked you... But because you didn''t respond to her feelings... That incident happened.'' She thought in her mind and closed the door behind her.


    Isaac sighed and kept looking at the ceiling.


    He lied down on the bed in silence until his eyelids started getting heavier.


    And slowly, he drifted to sleep....

 Chapter 3 - Name.

    The sky started brightening.


    A bright light came from the window, illuminating Isaac''s room.


    In the bed, a handsome, or more precisely, a beautiful young man was sleeping.


    He was sleeping without a nket, and his clothes were filled with wrinkles.


    Isaac groggily stood up.


    ''''I fell asleep...'''' Isaac facepalmed¡ª he was still wearing his yesterday''s clothes.


    He took them off and entered his bathroom.


    Isaac took a cold shower and brushed his teeth.


    Shortly afterward, he left the bathroom and walked towards his wardrobe.


    He grabbed a in ck t-shirt, boxers, and white sweatpants.


    Next, he took his phone and looked at the time.


    [10.34 A.M]


    ''''There is still time...'''' Isaac murmured and left his room.


    His family is gone¡ª there are only the caretakers who clean the house and cook their breakfast and dinners.


    His siblings have gone to school, his parents to work.


    Isaac went to the kitchen and grabbed a left-over sandwich from the breakfast, and greedily ate it.


    Two cameras were pointing at Isaac''s figure, but he had gotten used to it.


    There are hundreds of cameras in the mansion, but not in his room, even though his parents insisted.


    It had a simple exnation. Since he is left alone in the mansion and only strangers are around him. His parents look at the cameras every 10 minutes, making sure that he is okay.


    But there is also 30 men bodyguard team ready to protect Isaac at a moment''s notice.


    It is slightly overkill, but no one listened to Isaac''sints.


    Isaac left the kitchen, sat down on the couch in the living room, and started watching News, which again talked about White Online.


    Only a little bit over 1 hour remaining until the servers open.


    Every second, people keep getting more and more excited.


    A group of servants entered the house after doing their jobs of cleaning snow from the front yard.


    ''''Young master.'''' They all bowed respectfully and went towards their next destination.


    Isaac nodded towards them and lied down on the couch.


    He opened his phone and started watching Livestream of his favorite streamer.


    The phone screen showed a gentle-looking man talking with his viewers, while countdown till White Online servers are opened was shown on the top left of the screen.


    ''''Only 1 hour remaining!'''' The gentle-looking man shouted excitedly; there was therge font on the bottom of the screen with words [Underlord] and [Viewers: 123,940]


    Underlord is the streamer''s name.


    He was talking with the viewers while Isaac was listening to his voice eyes closed.


    The stream''s chat was going crazy, some kids bragging about not going to school so that they could y White Online.


    Underlord sternly told not to skip school, but there was slight amusement in his eyes.


    30 minutester.


    ''''Only 30 minutes left!'''' Underlord''s voice echoed in Isaac''s ears.


    10 minutester.


    ''''Only 20 minutes left!''''


    10 minutester.


    ''''Only 10 minutes left!''''


    5 minutester.


    ''''I am logging in! Only 5 minutes left!''''


    After those words, Isaac opened his eyes and closed the phone.


    He went straight towards his room and took his VR Helmet from his wardrobe.


    He didn''t need to plug the VR Helmet anywhere¡ª as long as there is an inte connection, it will work.


    Isaac lied down on his bed and put the helmet on his head.


    [Connecting...]


    The visor showed those words, and soon Isaac''s face went nk.


    His eyes showed visor one moment, but next moment when he blinked.


    He only saw a pure white light.


    [Hello, User!]


    Isaac heard a voice, but he ignored it and went to [Games] section.


    At Top 1 position White Online was located!


    He pressed it with his finger.


    [White Online - 99$]


    ''''Ah... Damn.'''' Isaac felt bad¡ª he had to use the 100$ his mother gave him yesterday.


    But he pressed the words [Buy]


    He had to fill all kinds of credit card information.


    After that, his purchase waspleted.


    The game downloaded instantly.


    [y]


    Isaac pressed y, and his vision instantly turned ck.


    He appeared in a small space with a countdown in front of him.


    [00.59...]


    [00.21...]


    [00.01...]


    [Servers are opened!]


    Isaac''s suddenly appeared in a small garden with beautiful flowers and bushes with a small table in the middle of it.


    There were two seats, and another one was already upied by a beautiful woman. She was wearing a beautiful white-colored robe, which made her figure look mesmerizing and appealing.


    The white-colored robes were slightly baggy, but it only made people wonder more what was underneath.


    But the woman looked cold, like very cold.


    She didn''t even nce towards Isaac and only kept drinking the tea.


    Isaac walked towards the table, ''''May I sit?'''' He asked.


    But the woman didn''t answer.


    ''''I will just sit then?'''' Isaac said with uncertainty but sat down.


    Isaac sat silently, waiting for the woman to finish her tea.


    It took 5 minutes, but then finally she put her cup down and took first look towards Isaac.


    ''''Name.'''' The woman said bluntly.


    ''''Isaac.''''


    ''''Isaac, hmm... The name has been already chosen,'''' The woman said, ''''Choose another one.''''


    ''''Oh, I was supposed to choose my nickname? Alright then.'''' Isaac started thinking deeply.


    The woman kept staring at him with cold-looking eyes.


    Isaac spent 1 minute...


    2 minutes...


    Even after 3 minutes, he didn''t stop thinking.


    The woman''s eyebrows twitched, ''''Choose already!''''


    ''''God damn it.'''' Isaac facepalmed.


    ''''What?''''


    Isaac sighed and looked at her, ''''I had a good nickname at the tip of my tongue, but you had to ruin it. I need to think again!'''' After those words, he started thinking.


    ck thick marks started appearing on the woman''s beautiful forehead.


    1 minutes...


    2 minutes...


    3 minutes...


    The woman was red in anger¡ª she kept biting her lips angrily.


    After 5 minutes, Isaac finally eximed, ''''I have a good one!''''


    ''''Tell me!'''' The woman growled.


    ''''Isaac2,'''' Isaac replied.


    The woman gritted her teeth angrily, ''''THAT NAME IS TAKEN!''''


    ''''Isaac3?''''


    ''''TAKEN!''''


    ''''Isaac4?''''


    ''''TAKEEEN!''''


    Isaac scratched his head, ''''I have to think another one then.''''


    The woman was fuming in anger.


    1 minutes...


    2 minutes...


    3 minutes...


    10 minutes...


    The woman didn''t have the energy to be angry anymore¡ª she sat silently while counting the number of flowers in the garden.


    ''''I GOT ONE!'''' Isaac eximed.


    ''''I highly doubt that.'''' The woman said with dead-looking eyes.


    ''''Wraith!'''' Isaac crossed his arms and proudly dered.


    ''''IT''S NOT TAKEN, YEEES!'''' The woman cheered and snapped her fingers.


    Words [Wraith] appeared on top of Isaac''s head.


    ''''Choose your ss, quick!'''' The woman said with hope, the young man in front of her must have thought beforehand... right?!


    Isaac went into thinking posture, ''''Which one...''''


    The woman went pale, ''''Y-You don''t know?''''


    Isaac shook his head.


    The woman put all the avable sses in front of Isaac.


    But he didn''t change his expression.


    ''''C-Choose one, please!''''


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac was still thinking.


    ''''FINE, I WILL CHOOSE ONE FOR YOU!'''' The woman snapped her fingers.


    A word [Marksman] appeared in front of Isaac.


    ''''Marksman?'''' Isaac shrugged, ''''Fine by me.''''


    The woman sighed and again snapped her fingers, ''''Choose where to put your stat points, then you can leave!''''


    Isaac nodded, and suddenly blue-colored Interface appeared in front of him.

    ''''This is your stats. Every ss has a different special stat, and your special stat is Precision!'''' The woman said.


    Isaac nodded¡ª he started putting the stats quickly.


    The woman looked confused, ''''What are you doing? Should you not think about it, at least?! The decision where to put your stat points is crucial!''''


    ''''Done,'''' Isaac said, ignoring the shocked woman.


    ''''Why did I get this moron...'''' The woman sighed.

    Isaac nodded, he was pleased with his decisions.


    ''''Is everything done?'''' Isaac asked.


    The woman was still facepalming, not even looking at his stats, ''''Yes...''''


    *Snap*


    She snapped her fingers, and the figure of Isaac''s became more transparent until hepletely disappeared from the garden.


    The womanzily fell down on the chair, took deep breaths, and enjoyed the calm nature.


    But that was interrupted.


    A ck portal appeared in the garden.


    The woman saw an old-looking man looking at her angrily.


    ''''Khione!'''' The old man shouted.


    Khione instantly stood up and saluted, ''''Old geezer, what do you want!''''


    The old man chopped her head, ''''Call me by my name!''''


    Khione clicked her tongue, ''''Fine... Boreas.''''


    Boreas nodded, ''''How was the young man?''''


    Khione clicked her tongue, ''''Why did I get retarded one?''''


    ''''Retarded?'''' Boreas looked at her strangely, ''''He was supposed to be a brilliant individual.''''


    Khione looked at him with narrowed eyes, ''''... Are you sure?''''


    Boreas nodded, ''''Extremely smart individual.''''


    Khione then went nk¡ª she gritted her teeth, ''''THAT FUCKING CUNT! HE MADE FUN OF ME!'''' She started stomping the flowers.


    Boreas stopped her rampage, ''''Calm down, you are Goddess. Act like it.''''


    Khione gritted her teeth and stomped towards the ck portal.


    Boreas wiped his sweat and followed behind the angry Goddess.

 Chapter 4 - World Of White.

    Isaac opened his eyes and saw him standing in the middle of the street.


    The buildings around him were medieval-styled, and the streets didn''t have road¡ª instead, it was mostly dirt and soil.


    yers and NPC''s alike was walking on the streets in harmony.


    But they have major differences.


    yers looked excited while looking at everything, and their outfit was different from ordinary NPC.


    While NPC''s were acting normally like they are real residents of this vige. There were some NPC''s with families, some NPC''s were flirting with other NPC''s, and it felt like they were real.


    Isaac looked at his outfit and saw him wearing a white shirt with brown-colored leather pants.


    [Wee to Swornword Vige!]


    A message popped up in front of Isaac.


    ''''Swornword...'''' Isaac murmured.


    ''''Interface,'''' Isaac murmured, and the familiar blue-colored Interface appeared in front of him, but the Interface was slightly different this time.

    [Map]


    [Inventory]


    [Help]


    [Log Out]


    Isaac pressed [Map], and it showed the map of the vige.


    It wasn''t big, only about 1 kilometer in length in total.


    ''''There is no way this vige can hold thousands of people... The spawn must be random.'''' Isaac thought aloud.


    He saw streets being quite busy with excited yers, trying to find Quests or monsters to kill.


    Isaac pressed [Inventory]


    [Inventory: Slingshot - 100 Rock Bullets]


    [Slingshot - Rank: White]


    Isaac took the slingshot, and he facepalmed.


    The slingshot had a Y-shape frame, with two rubber bands attached to the upper two ends.


    It was the simr-looking slingshot he remembered from childhood, and this was supposed to be his weapon.


    He saw some yers holding a wooden sword¡ª they are probably part of the Swordsman or Knight ss.


    Isaac took the 100 Rock Bullets from the Inventory, and a small pouch appeared on his hand.


    He opened it and saw 100 tiny rocks.


    Isaac sighed and tied the pouch on his waist, and put the slingshot back to the Inventory.


    He started strolling on the streets, trying to find anything interesting.


    But what he saw shocked him.


    yers who annoyed NPC''s was getting their ass kicked.


    Some yers tried to grope a female NPC, but the NPC easily defeated them, and then NPC Guards came and put them in jail.


    ''''Deserved...'''' Isaac murmured and started walking towards the biggest building in the vige.


    He saw dozens of yers gathered there, and some of them were arguing with two Guards.


    ''''LET US PASS!'''' One of the yers shouted.


    The Guard didn''t change his expression, ''''This is Vige Chief''s home. You don''t have permission to enter.''''


    ''''SHUT UP, YOU ARE NOTHING BUT NPC, YOU DARE TO STAY IN FRONT OF ME?!'''' The yer shouted and tried to enter forcefully, but Guard unsheathed his sword and swung it.


    The yer widened his eyes, but then his head was separated from his body.


    [DEAD!]


    Those words appeared on the top of the dead yer''s head, and the yer''s body started slowly disappearing into pixels.


    Isaac shook his head, ''''I wonder what the death penalty is.''''


    He was curious and opened his Interface.


    He pressed [Help] and started reading through.


    The First 3 pages didn''t have anything special, but then he saw the text about the death penalty.


    [Death Penalty: Once your HP reaches 0, and you die. Your Level will be lowered by 5, and you can''t y for a week]


    [Legacy Death Penalty: If you have Legacy and you die. You will lose your Legacy. Your Level won''t be lowered, and you don''t have cooldown]


    [What happens to Legacy: Your Legacy will return to the game. You can''t get the same Legacy twice]


    [Legacy: Two people can''t get the same Legacy]


    ''''Whew...'''' Isaac took a deep breath, ''''That death penalty is harsh!''''


    ''''I wonder what happened to that yer... He was Level 1.'''' Isaac shrugged his shoulders; he turned around and started walking towards the exit of the vige.


    The shops he saw were mostly about armory, and weapons.


    Shortly afterward, he arrived at the exit of the vige, and it also had two guards.


    They mostly keep an eye on the people entering the vige¡ª they don''t really care about the people leaving.


    Isaac with ease left the vige and started walking on the dirt road.


    He saw yers running ahead of him, but sometimes they looked very exhausted and had to stop moving to catch their breath.


    Isaac decided to try it out and started running.


    He ran past the exhausted yers and arrived at the Forest with ease, and he wasn''t even exhausted.


    ''''Did they not put any stat points in Stamina or what?'''' Isaac thought aloud.


    [Wee to Newbie Forest!]


    [Level Limit: 1 - 10]


    Isaac saw the text and entered the forest.


    Isaac took his slingshot from the Inventory and started carefully walking, dodging every twig and stick.


    When he walked only 50 meters into the forest, he noticed a small space without any trees.


    Isaac carefully stepped forwards but then stopped moving.


    He saw three small animals.


    [Baby Wolf]


    [Level: 2]


    [HP: 14/14]


    He saw three Baby Wolf''s but they were level higher.


    But their HP was not that high, Isaac decided to try.


    ''First try... Let''s see.'' Isaac thought to himself and aimed the slingshot towards the first baby wolf.


    He took one rock bullet from the pouch and put it on the rubber band.


    ''''Whew...'''' Isaac took a deep breath and started aiming towards the baby wolves.


    His hand was in an awkward spot, but soon Isaac found a better way to hold it, and his hand stopped trembling.


    ''''Whew...'''' Isaac took a deep breath¡ª he closed his right eye and saw it being perfectly lined up.


    And then...


    Isaac let go of the rubber band.


    The rock bullet flew through the air.


    The baby wolf turned his head but then saw a flying item flying straight towards his face.


    *BAM*


    The rock hit him perfectly in the head, and he fell down on the ground.


    The two other baby wolves roared in anger, they both angrily turned their heads towards the forest, but they didn''t know where the rock came from.


    Isaac saw a text in front of him.


    [-9 HP]


    ''Only 9?! Damn!'' Isaac quickly took another rock and aimed it towards the baby wolf, who was about to use his four limbs to stand up.


    *Whish*


    Another rock left Isaac''s slingshot and hit straight at the baby wolf''s torso.


    [-6 HP]


    [You have killed Baby Wolf!]


    [5 XP Earned!]


    ''''Yes...'''' Isaac cheered quietly, but then he saw two baby wolves angrily growling towards him.


    ''''U-Umm...'''' Isaac turned around and started running away.


    The baby wolves started running after him.


    ''''DAAAMN!'''' Isaac shouted and left the forest¡ª he started running away from the forest.


    He nced behind him and saw that the baby wolves were still following him!


    ''''NOT GOOD!''''

 Chapter 5 - First Player Kill.

    The yers looked strangely at Isaac, who was running like a madman.


    They were about to ask what was wrong with him.


    But then they saw the baby wolves and got greedy.


    ''''MINE!'''' The yers shouted and unsheathed their wooden swords and wooden daggers.


    But the baby wolves didn''t give a shit about them and took care of the yers with ease.


    Their ws made over 10 HP Damage with each hit.


    Soon the baby wolves was done with the yers, and started chasing after Isaac.


    Isaac turned around and saw the baby wolves having less HP after few yers got few solid hits on them.


    [Baby Wolf]


    [Level 2]


    [HP: 6/14]


    [Baby Wolf]


    [Level 2]


    [HP: 5/14]


    Isaac took another rock from the pouch and put it on the rubber band.


    He closed his right eye and started aiming towards iing Baby Wolf.


    ''''HOOWLL!'''' The first Baby Wolf leaped into air and attacked Isaac with his sharp-looking teeth.


    *SWISH*


    But then Isaac let go of the rubber band and the rock instantly hit the Baby Wolf, killing him in process.


    [-9 HP]


    The Baby Wolf turned into pixels and disappeared from the sight.


    Only one Baby Wolf remained, but he was already on attacking range.


    The Baby Wolf opened his tiny jaw and bit towards Isaac''s leg!


    Isaac crouched and jumped into air, barely dodging the bite.


    Hended on the ground and stumped few meters forwards, but then he grabbed a rock from his pouch and put it on the rubber band.


    The Baby Wolf growled, he turned around to re at Isaac and attacked again!


    *SWISH*


    Isaac clumsily let go of the rubber band, but the rock still hit the Baby Wolf in the head perfectly.


    [-9 HP]


    The Baby Wolf soon disappeared into pixels.


    ''''Whew.'''' Isaac fell down on his butt, he was getting slightly exhausted after all that running,


    Two screens popped up.

    ''''Only 35 XP remaining...'''' Isaac said aloud and stood up.


    He was about to leave, but then he saw items lying on the ground.


    ''''Hmm?'''' He grabbed the two items.


    [Baby Wolf''s w - Rank: White]


    [Baby Wolf''s Fur - Rank: White]


    Isaac put them on the Inventory and started running towards the vige.


    He arrived there shortly afterward, the Guards scanned him, and let him enter the vige.


    Isaac looked around the vige, trying to find ce to sell these two items.


    He aimlessly walked in the streets, until he managed to nce at window and saw his own reflection.


    ''My face is the same...'' Isaac thought to himself.


    He saw his own beautiful face in the mirror, there was some dirt, but his smooth and perfect skin was still on disy.


    Isaac didn''t notice it before, but a lot of yers were eyeing him, which he had gotten used to in his life, but he didn''t notice it when he was looking curiously at the vige.


    ''Mask is needed...'' Isaac started walking faster and arrived at Merchant Store.


    Isaac curiously entered the building and saw old-man sitting at the desk.


    There was name [Merchant - Kulos] on top of his head.


    Kulos turned his gaze towards the young man, ''''Do you want to buy, or sell?''''


    ''''Sell,'''' Isaac replied and walked closer to the desk.


    ''''Show me.'''' Kulos said.


    Isaac nodded and took the items he got from Baby Wolves and put them on the desk.


    Kulos looked at the items with boredom, ''''5 White Coins.''''


    Isaac nodded.


    Kulos took 5 White-colored coins and handed them over to Isaac.


    Once Isaac took them, the coins suddenly disappeared.


    ''''?'''' Isaac was confused and decided to open the Interface.

    ''''Thank you.'''' Isaac said and left the building.


    Kulos didn''t answer, instead he put the items Isaac gave to the box and put it away to storage room.


    Isaac walked in the streets¡ª he saw there being fewer yers than previously.


    ''''I need to level up...'''' Isaac made up his mind and ran towards the forest once again.


    This time he is nning to level up, and after that he will sell the items he gathered.


    While he was running, he again passed the yers who were exhausted, but some yers walked in groups.


    Isaac entered the forest shortly afterward and started running deeper into the woods.


    He saw a lot of yers fighting against Baby Wolves, and he had some yers kill stealing, which caused a lot of arguements.


    After walking a few minutes, he saw group of yers trying to kill a wolf, but a slightly bigger one.


    [Child Wolf]


    [Level 3]


    [HP: 8/20]


    The yers were part of same party.


    Three yers tried to kill the wolf, while two others were keeping eye on the other yers so that they won''t kill steal.


    Isaac was debating whether he should do it, ''''Well... This is only a game.'''' He shrugged and took a rock and put it on the rubber band.


    He aimed the slingshot towards the Wolf.


    *Swish*


    The rock left the rubber band and flew in the air, and perfectly hit the Child Wolf in the head.


    [-9 HP]


    The Child Wolf disappeared into pixels, and only angry-looking party was left.


    ''''WHO THE FUCK WAS IT!'''' One of the yers roared.


    Isaac hid behind the tree, while text appeared in front of him.


    [You Killed Child Wolf!]


    [10 XP Earned!]


    ''''GO FIND HIM!'''' The leader of the Party roared angrily.


    Isaac heard footstepsing closer.


    ''Damn!'' Isaac anxiously looked around him.


    His back was touching the tree, which gave him an idea.


    ''Please work...'' Isaac prayed and started climbing the tree, using the branches as his advantage.


    Soon Isaac climbed high enough to be hidden from view.


    In the tree he saw group of two passing his tree, while scanning the area.


    Isaac took a deep breath¡ª he looked towards the area where Child Wolf was killed and saw the Party leader sneakily taking the item.


    ''Sneaky one... I guess these party members weren''t your friends...'' Isaac thought to himself.


    The Party leader looked around him, and started walking away with the item.


    But then, Isaac took another rock and put it on the rubber band and shot it towards the Party Leader.


    The rock flew through the sky and hit the Party leader at the back of his head, but it was enough to kill him.

 Chapter 6 - Untrustworthy Swordsman.

    [You Have Died!]


    [You Have Been Killed By yer Wraith!]


    [Your Level was 2!]


    [Your ount is terminated!]


    [Reason: When your level is below 5. Your ount will be terminated if you die!]


    ''''RAAA!'''' The person who yed Smander angrily threw the VR Helmet away.


    ''''I NEED TO BUY ANOTHER ONE, FUCK!'''' Smander shouted angrily.


    You can only have 1 ount with one VR Helmet, and now that his ount is terminated... He needs to buy another one.


    And the VR Helmet he used was Gold Rank...


    ''''Wraith... I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!'''' Smander shouted angrily and left the house to buy another VR Helmet.


    ...


    Isaac, also known as Wraith, had no idea that the death penalty for level 2''s was that harsh¡ª he thought that Smander would be respawned a weekter and would be very angry.


    Isaac started descending the tree very carefully and shortly afterwardnded on the ground safely.


    He looked around and saw the Party members being far away.


    Isaac ran towards the Smander''s items.


    [Child Wolf''s w - Rank: Common]


    [Child Wolf''s Fang - Rank: Common]


    [Wooden Sword - Rank: White]


    [Leather Pants - Rank: White]


    [White Shirt - Rank: White]


    Isaac put them all to his Inventory and started running away from the forest.


    Since hundreds of yers were in the forest, it was easy for him to leave the woods without being disturbed.


    10 minutester, Isaac entered the vige and went straight to the Merchant Store.


    ''''I am back,'''' Isaac said after entering the building.


    Kulos nced at him, ''''Buy or Sell?''''


    ''''Sell,'''' Isaac said and put all the items he received from Smander to the desk.


    Kulos was not that impressed, ''''30 White Coins.''''


    Isaac nodded¡ª he took the coins and left the building.


    ''''35 White Coins... I doubt I can buy anything good with that...'''' Isaac murmured and started finding a weapons store.


    He found it quickly¡ª it was the most crowded building in the entire vige.


    Many yers were visiting it, but most of the yers left empty-handed after seeing the prize of the items.


    Isaac entered the building and saw a lot of swords, daggers, shields, but there weren''t many guns.


    But soon, he found a gun.


    [Flintlock - Rank: Common]


    [Cost: 150 White Coins]


    Isaac sighed and shook his head.


    He looked at the other items, but the cheapest item was 80 White Coins, an iron dagger.


    Isaac left the building with low self-esteem.


    ''I am so poor!'' Isaac thought first that his situation wasn''t that bad.


    Oh boy, he was very wrong.


    Isaac left the Weapon Store and slowly started approaching the vige entrance.


    But before he arrived there, he saw a strange sight.


    Some of the yers had small cameras flying above their heads, and they kept talking with themselves.


    ''Livestreaming..?'' Isaac guessed.


    It looked interesting seeing so many yers live streaming at the same time.


    Isaac pressed the [Help] once again and went to the Livestreaming section.


    [Livestreaming: Say ''''Livestream Online'''', a screen will show up, and you can choose which website you want to stream from]


    Isaac closed the Interface once again.


    He wasn''t that interested in live streaming, and he doubts that he gets even one viewer.


    Most are in the top streams like Underlord''s.


    Isaac left the vige again, and this time he went in a different direction from the forest.


    The forest is filled with yers, and the areas where he could get kills are packed.


    Only some top yers could fight against Level 5 animals.


    Isaac walked for half an hour, and he arrived at the bridge where a lonely-looking man was standing.


    [Vaulon]


    [Level: ???]


    Only those words were shown.


    Isaac was curious and approached him.


    Vaulon sees a young man with a cheap-looking outfit walking towards him.


    He shook his head, ''''Young man, turn around.''''


    ''''Why?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    ''''I am trying to help you.'''' Vaulon said and continued, ''''If you cross this bridge... You won''t stay alive long, please believe me.''''


    Isaac was deep in thought, but then a few messages appeared in front of him.


    [Vaulon is called Untrustworthy Swordsman!]


    [Do you want to cross the bridge?]


    [Yes/No]


    Isaac thought, but then he decided to press [No]


    He is fine in staying in the newbie vige for now.


    Vaulon sighed in relief, ''''Thank you for trusting me, young man. Not many have...'''' He lowered his head; his face was morphed into sadness.


    ''''This means a lot...'''' Vaulon wiped his tears, ''''Because you trust me... I have a Quest if you are interested.''''


    Isaac raised an eyebrow, ''''Quest?''''


    Vaulon nodded, ''''Quest which will make you rich and powerful!''''


    [Vaulon has offered you a Quest!]


    [Legacy Quest Received!]


    [Do you want to ept the Quest?]


    [Yes/No]


    ''''Legacy..?'''' Isaac was slightly surprised but also suspicious.


    ''I don''t think Legacy Quests are this easy to get... There are not that many of them after all...'' Isaac came to a conclusion.


    He pressed [No]


    ''''Why... Why didn''t you trust me?!'''' Vaulon roared angrily.


    Isaac took a step backward.


    Vaulon angrily started stomping towards Isaac¡ª he unsheathed his sword and aimed it towards Isaac''s neck.


    ''''Punishment for not trusting me... Is death!'''' Vaulon swung his sword towards Isaac''s neck, and with blinding speed, the de was only an inch away from his neck.


    Isaac closed his eyes and waited for the death to embrace him.


    ''''ARGHHH! WHY?!'''' Isaac slowly opened his eyes and saw Vaulon''s de barely touching his skin, but there was some kind of barrier protecting him.


    Isaac started slowly walking backward.


    Vaulon tried to go after him, but he couldn''t move from his spot for some reason.


    ''''COME BACK HERE!'''' Vaulon roared angrily.


    Isaac turned around and started running away.


    Leaving the angry Vaulon alone.


    ''''Whew.'''' Isaac took a deep breath after he ran 10 minutes nonstop.


    He sat down on the ground, ''''That was scary...''''


    After he caught his breath, he decided to open the Interface to check the time.

    ''''So... Every Level gives 10 stat points and 5 HP points... That is good to know.''''


    Isaac again put the 10 Stat Points without even thinking twice, and now the stats looked like this...

 Chapter 7 - Exploit.

    Isaac returned to the forest because it seemed that the newbie area was quite simple.


    There is a vige.


    A bridge to leave the newbie area.


    And the forest.


    It made Isaac slightly disappointed, but he decided to start concentrating on leveling up.


    Most of the forest was packed with yers, and he had no other choice than go deeper into the woods.


    But it is dangerous, and there is a high chance of dying.


    But Isaac has a n.


    He uses the trees to his advantage, he doesn''t know how effective it is, and he doesn''t know if the animals can climb the trees.


    Isaac walked deeper and deeper into the forest until he didn''t hear the sound of fighting anymore.


    Isaac started climbing the tree and soon arrived at the top of the tree.


    He could see the area of 50 meters, but there were some trees in the way, but he had clear eyesight towards a small spacious area, where a group of 5rge wild boars was.


    [Adult Wild Boar!]


    [Level 5]


    [HP: 39/39]


    There were five of them, and all of them were level 5¡ª 3 levels higher than Isaac.


    ''''Please, work.'''' Isaac took a rock from his pouch and put it on the rubber band.


    He aimed the slingshot towards closet wild boar.


    *SWISH*


    The rock left the slingshot and flew through the sky and hit the wild boar on the side!


    ''''GRAA!'''' The wild boar started growling angrily¡ª the group of wild boars began scanning the area but didn''t see anyone.


    Isaac looked at the scene with dead-looking eyes.


    [-3 HP]


    ''''Only 3... Are you joking me?!'''' Isaac gritted his teeth and started shooting more and more rocks.


    The wild boar angrily stomped around, but rocks kept hitting them.


    Some rocks missed, but more hit them.


    They started finding out where the rocks came from¡ª it was only a matter of time.


    Isaac saw the wild boars look towards his direction with mad-looking eyes.


    He started shooting faster and faster.


    [-3 HP]


    [-6 HP]


    [-3 HP]


    Finally, one of the wild boars died and became pixels.


    [You Killed Adult Wild Boar!]


    [30 XP Earned!]


    But the four wild boars arrived at his location and started hitting the tree, which made the tree almost fall from its roots.


    Isaac held tightly the tree and did everything he could to not fall!


    Soon the wild boars began bing more sluggish and tired.


    They also got more injured from all that hitting.


    Isaac quickly took his slingshot and unleashed his rock bullets.


    *SWISH*


    *SWISH*


    Soon the four wild boars fell down on the ground as dead and shortly afterward turned into pixels.

    Isaded on the ground and grabbed all the items the wild boars dropped.


    He received 5 Adult Wild Boar Furs and 3 Adult Wild Boar Meat.


    ''''This seems like cheating...'''' Isaac murmured, ''I doubt using the trees as your advantage was what game developers nned... Or maybe that strategy will be useless in the future...''


    He wasn''t sure, but he nned to exploit it.


    He ran deeper into the forest and noticed a Level 6 Adult Wild Boar.


    Quietly he climbed back to the tree and started shooting the Adult Wild Boar.


    The Adult Wild Boar became very angry, very quick.


    But his 45 HP became 0 in a rapid time.


    [You Have Killed Adult Wild Boar!]


    [40 XP Earned!]


    Isaac left the three and grabbed the items.


    He received Adult Wild Boar Meat (Common)


    Level 5 Wild Boars only gave White items.


    ''''Nice...'''' Isaac murmured and nned to sell the items¡ª he might have enough money to buy Flintlock.


    He walked a few minutes and was only 100 meters away from the forest entrance, but then he heard a lot of shouts.


    Isaac perked up his ear, walked closer to the shouts, and saw a group of 3 arguing with another group that had only 2.


    ''''You stole our kill!'''' A young man with short brown said angrily, he was standing next to a young girl with ck hair.


    ''''You would have probably died anyway! I did you a favor!'''' An older man shouted arrogantly.


    ''''The wolf had 2 HP!'''' The young man angrily shouted.


    The older man snorted, ''''So what? 2 HP Wolf can kill you instantly.''''


    ''''Y-You!'''' The young man was boiling in anger.


    ''''Brother, don''t.'''' The younger girl said and pulled the young man away before the argument got more heated.


    The older man smirked with two other men.


    ''''I wonder how different this ce is from real life.'''' The older man said and touched the younger girl''s hair and was able to.


    ''''Kyaa!'''' The younger girl retreated instantly.


    ''''You can actually touch?! HAHAHAHA!'''' The older man yelled crazily.


    The younger girl and the young man went pale.


    ''''I wonder what the limit is.'''' The older man grinned and was about to touch a more private part of her, but then...


    *BAM*


    ''''ARGH!'''' The older man felt rock hitting his forehead.


    He didn''t actually feel pain¡ª he was only surprised.


    [-9 HP]


    ''''I lost 9 HP? What the fuck?!''''


    [Caius - HP 9/18]


    *BAM*


    Another rock hit his forehead, and he turned into pixels with words [Dead] on top of it.


    ''''C-Caius?!'''' His friends were shocked, but then 4 rocks flew through the sky, and two stones hit both of them, which turned their bodies into pixels as well.


    The younger girl and young man were shocked, and looked around the ce, but didn''t see anyone.


    Isaac had already left the ce and looked at the texts in front of him.


    [You Killed Caius!]


    [30 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Kailo]

    ''''Alright... Level 3 yers give 30 XP, and Level 2 gives 25 XP.''''


    He left the forest and opened his Interface.

 Chapter 8 - Flintlock.

    Isaac entered the Merchant Store once again.


    Kulos nced towards the door and again saw the familiar handsome young man walking towards him, or more precise term would be beautiful.


    ''''You again,'''' Kulos said with boredom.


    Isaac nodded and put 5 Adult Wild Boar Furs and 3 Adult Wild Boar Meat on the desk.


    Kulos looked at the items and said nonchntly, ''''70 White Coins.''''


    Isaac nodded and took the Coins.


    ''''I have one more item,'''' Isaac said and put the Adult Wild Boar Meat (Common) on the desk.


    Kulos was slightly surprised, ''''How did you manage to get this?''''


    Isaac smiled but didn''t answer.


    ''''50 White Coins,'''' Kulos said.


    Isaac nodded and took the Coins.


    He received in total 120 White Coins, and previously he had 35.


    Now he has 155, enough to buy a Flintlock pistol.


    Isaac left the store and with light steps reached the weapon store.


    It wasn''t as crowded as before¡ª yers have found out that to get any of the items, they need to kill wild animals.


    Isaac entered the store and grabbed the Flintlock pistol, and arrived at the desk where a female NPC was standing.


    ''''Hello,'''' Isaac said and put the Flintlock pistol on the desk.


    ''''Good morning.'''' The female NPC said with slight blush after seeing Isaac''s face.


    She thought at first that he was a girl, but after hearing his voice, she was surprised to find out that he was a boy!


    ''''Flintlock pistol, it will cost 150 White Coins.'''' The Female NPC said with a smile.


    Isaac nodded and put exactly 150 White Coins on the desk.


    ''''Thanks for doing business with us.'''' The Female NPC bowed.


    Isaac grabbed the Flintlock, and a message appeared in front of him.


    [You acquired Flintlock Pistol (Common) ]


    [Flintlock Pistol: Damage: Reload 30 Seconds - 1 Shot Ammo Capacity - Flintlock Bullets Needed!]


    ''''30 seconds...'''' Isaac murmured¡ª he took a nce towards his pouch, which was filled with tiny rocks, ''''I guess I still need to use slingshot... I don''t even have Flintlock Bullets...''''


    Isaac left the Weapon Store and went to Armory, which should have bullets.


    He entered the store and approached the old man who was sitting on his chair.


    ''''Excuse me?'''' Isaac said.


    ''''Yeah?'''' The old man said grumpily.


    ''''Do you have Flintlock Bullets?''''


    ''''Yes!'''' The old man shouted, ''''10 Flintlock Bullets costs 1 White Coin!''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''I will buy 50 of them.''''


    The old man snorted and took a bag, and threw it towards Isaac.


    Isaac caught it, and a text appeared in front of him.


    [50 Flintlock Bullets Acquired!]


    Isaac took hisst remaining White Coins and gave them all for the Old man.


    After that, he left the building.


    He tied the ammo pouch to his waist, and now he had two pouches tied to his waist.


    People in the streets are wondering why is he carrying a pouches on his waist, doesn''t it hinder his movements? But, Isaac was not aware that he did something, which rest of the Marksman yers find out after few weeks, tying the pouches to the waist.


    Even though it sounds simple and practical, no one found out, because they treat this like a game and pulling rocks and bullets from Inventory seems faster in theory, but in fact, it isn''t.


    You need to reload the slingshot and Flintlock pistol, that takes some time after you take items from Inventory, because you need to stretch your arm to reach the inventory and then you need to do another big movement to reload the weapons, but taking them from pouches is slower than taking from Inventory, but it is faster to reload.


    In the end, reloading using pouches in his waist is approximately one second faster.


    But that second alone, is important.


    It does hinder his movement, but Marksmen doesn''t need good movement.


    Isaac walked in the streets and saw a few benches nearby.


    He sat down and finally rxed.


    For some reason, he was getting exhausted from walking and running nonstop for a few hours.


    It was physical but also mental exhaustion.


    ''''Interface...'''' Isaac murmured, and a familiar blue-colored Interface appeared in front of him.

    He had his slingshot and Flintlock Pistol on his inventory and only had the Swornword vige on the map.


    ''''Maybe I should go test the Flintlock pistol... Once I reach Level 5, I will log off for today.'''' Isaac murmured.


    He stood up and left the vige once again.


    The Guards have already stopped caring about him.


    He ran past the yers who were walking casually and reached the forest once again.


    He entered deeper into the woods, ignoring the low-level ces, and went straight to Level 5 and 6 spawn spots.


    Isaac arrived at another spawn spot and saw one Adult Wild Boar.


    [Adult Wild Boar]


    [Level 6]


    [HP: 45/45]


    Isaac nodded and started carefully approaching the Adult Wild Boar.


    This time he didn''t n to go hiding in the tree, and he isn''t sure what is the range of the Flintlock pistol.


    Isaac put one Flintlock bullet on the chamber.


    ''''Whew.'''' Isaac took a deep breath and closed his right eye.


    The Adult Wild Boar was still minding his own business.


    *BANG*


    But then the bullet left the barrel and hit the Adult Wild Boar instantly.


    ''''GRAAA!'''' The Adult Wild Boar instantly turned his head towards Isaac.


    The sound of the gun and the smoke leaving the gun''s barrel is very noticeable.


    [-39 HP]


    Isaac smiled after seeing the damage¡ª he quickly put his Flintlock pistol away and took his slingshot.


    He took quickly a rock from this pouch and put it on the rubber band.


    ''''GRAA!'''' The Adult Wild Boar started stomping towards Isaac with scary momentum.


    *SWISH*


    But the rock already was flying in the air and hit the Adult Wild Boar on his forehead.


    [-9 HP]


    The Adult Wild Boar fell down on the ground and turned into pixels.


    [You Killed Adult Wild Boar!]


    [40 XP Earned!]

    Isaac looked at the Flintlock Pistol and saw it showing how long it takes for it to be reloaded.

    He took another Flintlock bullet and put it on the chamber, and now it was reloaded.


    ''''I still need to reload myself... Will be tricky inbat...''''


    Isaac with his Flintlock pistol, started walking deeper into the woods.


    Goal: Level 5.

    Isaac smiled and waited for his Flintlock to be reloaded, and once it was reloaded, he put it on the inventory.


    He had killed 6 Wild Boars since he entered the Forest and managed to level up and get 6 Wild Boar Meats, each one of them worth 50 White Coins.


    Just like that, he earned 300 White Coins.


    Isaac started walking towards the forest entrance and nned to sell his Wild Boar meat, and today''s session in White Online will bepleted.


    But this time, something unexpected happened.


    Three figures walked from their hiding spots and appeared in front of Isaac.


    ''''Hello, miss.'''' The yer in front of the group said with a handsome smile on his face.


    Isaac rolled his eyes, ''''I am a guy.''''


    The yer looked shocked, ''''T-Trap?!''''


    Isaac scratched his head.


    The yer shook his head, ''''Doesn''t matter, give me all your items, and I will let you live.'''' He said menacingly.


    His two friends unsheathed their Iron swords.


    Isaac looked at the texts on top of their heads.


    [KnightOfHoliness]


    [Level 5]


    [HP: 52/52]


    [KnightOfProtection]


    [Level 4]


    [HP: 45/45]


    [KnightOfCharming]


    [Level 4]


    [HP: 46/46]


    Isaac grimaced, ''''You are robbing me? Your names are very misleading.''''


    KnightOfHoliness snorted, ''''Give me your stuff NOW! Otherwise, you have to go buy a new VR Helmet!''''


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow.


    ''''Wait... You don''t know?'''' KnightOfHoliness was surprised, but then he chuckled, ''''If you die before Level 6, your ount will be terminated, and you will have to buy another VR Helmet to y again.''''


    Isaac widened his eyes in surprise, ''That is so harsh! Oh no...'' He now remembered killing at least 4 yers who were below Level 6.


    ''''Give me your items, NOW!'''' KnightOfHoliness roared¡ª he had his Iron sword and wooden shield in front of him, ready for battle.


    ''I can''t die... VR Helmet is fucking expensive! But... Losing my items would hurt even more...'' Isaac grimaced, losing his Flintlock, and the meat worth of 300 White Coins is equal to losing 450 White Coins.


    But dying in the hands of these Knights is even worse fate.


    ''''Fine...'''' Isaac sighed¡ª he dropped his two pouches to the ground and threw his slingshot out of the Inventory to the ground, and also the meats.


    ''''6 Adult Wild Boar Meats?!'''' KnightOfHoliness was pleased.


    His friend, KnightOfProtection greedily approached the meats and was about to grab them.


    But then Isaac took his Flintlock Pistol from Inventory and aimed at his head.


    *BANG!*


    The Flintlock Pistol was already reloaded¡ª he did that before putting it into the inventory, just in case.


    The bullet pierced KnightOfProtection''s forehead, killing him instantly.


    [-60 HP]


    [You Killed KnightOfProtection!]


    [40 XP Earned!]


    ''''Y-YOU BASTARD!'''' KnightOfHoliness roared angrily and rushed with his sword towards Isaac.


    Isaac touched all the items on the ground, even KnightOfProtection''s Iron sword.


    All the items he touched went into his Inventory.


    Isaac turned around and started running away from the Knights.


    ''''COME BACK! BASTARD!!!''''


    He heard their furious roar behind, but since Isaac wasn''t carrying anything except Flintlock pistol, he was much faster than them.


    They were holding their Iron swords and wooden shields and hadn''t figured out that they could put them into Inventory to run faster.


    If they have yed a few days longer, then they would know it.


    But since everyone is basically newbies in the game, they don''t even know the basic things.


    Except for Beta Testers.


    Isaac didn''t put his Flintlock Pistol into the Inventory because he was already running faster, and it was soon going to be reloaded.


    [4...]


    [3...]


    [2...]


    [1...]


    [Reloading Is Ready!]


    Isaac took one Flintlock bullet from the Inventory and put it on the chamber.


    He stopped running away and waited for the Knights toe.


    KnightOfHoliness and KnightOfCharming came with exhausted faces.


    ''''You are dead!'''' KnightOfHoliness roared.


    ''''Watch out¡ª he might have reloaded his gun already!'''' KnightOfCharming reminded.


    KnightOfHoliness snorted, ''''There is no way it is this quick! That gun is like thousand years old!''''


    KnightOfCharming thought that his friends'' words made sense, but he wasn''t nning to be careless.


    Isaac seeing them being careful, decided to change ns.


    He put the Flintlock Pistol on the Inventory and grabbed his slingshot and pouch filled with rocks.


    ''''I TOLD YOU, LET''S KILL HIM!'''' KnightOfHoliness shouted and ran towards Isaac¡ª his Iron sword was in an attacking stance.


    Isaac put the tiny rock on the rubber band and shot it towards KnightOfHoliness.


    KnightOfHoliness put his shield in front of him, blocking the rock.


    He raised his sword and swung it towards Isaac!


    Isaac sidestepped, but the sword scratched his shoulder.


    [You Lost 11 HP!]


    Messages started appearing in front of Isaac, but he ignored them for now.


    KnightOfCharming appeared next to Isaac and swung his sword.


    Isaac stepped backward, but the sword''s de scratched his torso.


    [You Lost 12 HP!]


    [HP: 27/50]


    Isaac again shot a couple of rocks, but it was easily blocked with their wooden shields.


    ''''DIEE!'''' KnightOfHoliness madly shouted and swung his sword towards Isaac''s neck.


    Isaac threw the slingshot to the inventory and started rolling on the ground.


    KnightOfHoliness'' sword barely missed his head by an inch.


    Isaac quickly took his Flintlock Pistol and aimed at KnightOfHoliness''s face.


    ''''Goodbye,'''' Isaac said and pressed the trigger.


    *BANG*


    KnightOfHoliness widened his eyes and put the wooden shield as a block, but the bullet pierced the shield and hit him straight at his forehead.


    [You Killed KnightOfHoliness!]


    [50 XP Earned!]


    Isaac grabbed his items and faced against very angry-looking KnightOfCharming.


    ''I shouldn''t push my luck...'' Isaac thought to himself¡ª he turned around and started running away.


    ''''COWARD, COME BACK!'''' KnightOfCharming started running after him, but Isaac lost him quickly because he wasn''t carrying anything.


    Isaac took nces behind him and didn''t see anyone behind him anymore.


    He quickly exited the forest and started running towards the vige.


    He entered the vige and tried to catch his breath.


    But then, a message popped up.


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]

    ''''If you stay unharmed 10 minutes, all your HP will be restored... That is good to know.'''' Isaac was pleased with this information.


    ''There must be HP Potions to use during the battle, but those must be expensive...'' Isaac thought to himself and looked at his stat points, he had 10, but he will use themter.


    He walked in the streets towards the Merchant Store.


    His unique white hair and beautiful face brought a lot of attention.


    But no one approached him because his green name tag had some hue of orange, which means he has been yer killing.


    If your nametag is orange, the Guards won''t arrest you, but if it is red, that means you have killed a lot of other yers, and they will put you in jail or execute.


    Since he only has a hue of orange, it means Guards will keep a close eye on him.


    Isaac didn''t know any of that¡ª he finally arrived at the Merchant Store and entered the building.


    Kulos was once again sitting with boredom, but he saw the door opening and saw the familiar-looking young man.


    ''''Sell,'''' Isaac said instantly.


    Kulos narrowed his eyes after seeing the hue of orange on his nametag but decided to ignore it.


    Isaac put the 6 Adult Meat on the desk.


    Kulos was slightly surprised, ''''6... Pretty good, you will get 300 White Coins.''''


    Isaac nodded and took the White Coins with a slight smile.


    Next, he put 2 Iron Swords and 2 wooden shields on the desk.


    He got those from KnightOfHoliness and KnightOfProtection.


    Apparently, the Knight ss will give wooden swords and wooden shields as beginner weapons.


    They didn''t have enough White Coins to buy Iron shield yet¡ª that was the reason KnightOfHoliness died.


    Isaac''s bullet pierced through the wooden shield like it was nothing.


    Kulos looked at the items and said, ''''210 White Coins, 200 for the Iron swords, and 10 for wooden shields.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Sounds fair.


    Kulos gave him the White Coins, and now he had 510 White Coins! He had previously 0 White Coins¡ª these 510 Coins will be important.


    ''''Thanks,'''' Isaac said and was about to leave the story, but then Kulos opened his mouth.


    ''''Young fe, interested in Quest?'''' Kulos asked with crossed arms.


    Isaac turned his head towards him, ''''Depends...''''


    If the Quest was suspicious, then he would reject it.


    Kulos nodded, he took a piece of paper, and put it on the desk.


    Isaac curiously looked at the paper, and a bunch of messages popped up.

    Without hesitation, he pressed [Yes]


    Kulos nodded, ''''The Adult Wolf has been terrorizing thesends too long. I have even lost a few of my carriages because of that monster. I will also buy the meat of the Adult Wolf for 100 White Coins, and 200 White Coins for the Fang if you manage to get it.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Alright.''''


    Kulos nodded and closed his eyes once again.


    Isaac left the Merchant Store and stood in the streets.

    Isaac took another look at the buildings around him and had a small smile.


    ''''It was fun...'''' Isaac murmured and pressed [Log Out]


    Isaac''s body turned into pixels and disappeared from the World of White.


    ...


    Isaac opened his eyes, and the familiar white-colored visor appeared in front of him.


    He took the VR Helmet off and put it gently on the bed.


    He looked towards the window and saw the sky getting darker.


    ''''Aahh...'''' Isaac stretched and stood up from his bed.


    He went to his cab, opened it with his silver-colored key, and took his notebook.


    He wrote for 10 minutes until a knock came from the door.


    *Knock*


    Isaac closed the notebook and put it back in the cab.


    ''''Come in,'''' Isaac said after locking the cab.


    The door was opened by a beautiful ck-haired girl.


    ''''Alice, what is it?'''' Isaac asked with a smile.


    Alice cheerfully walked towards him and asked, ''''How was the game?


    Isaac had a broad smile, ''''It was exciting!''''


    Alice smiled after seeing him being happy. It has been some time since Isaac had such a huge smile.


    They sat down on Isaac''s bed, and he started telling everything he did today in the game.


    Alice smiled while listening, but then she asked, ''''Did... anyone disturb you in any way?''''


    Isaac pondered, ''''There were three guys, but it was nothing.''''


    Alice paled and grabbed his hand, ''''W-What did they do? D-Did they touch you?''''


    Isaac chuckled and shook his head, ''''No... They did try to rob me, though, but I escaped.'''' He said proudly.


    Alice sighed in relief, ''''That''s good... Did anything else happen? Like did someone talk with you, a girl perhaps?'''' She narrowed her eyes after asking that.


    Isaac shrugged, ''''I did talk with a girl...'''' He felt Alice''s grip tightening, ''''But she was NPC, I had to buy my weapon.''''


    Alice loosened her grip and smiled, ''''Dinner is soon, get ready.'''' She said and left the room.


    ''''That game was more exciting than I thought...'''' He murmured quietly.


    He grabbed his VR Helmet and put it back on the box.


    He went to his wardrobe, opened it, and hid the VR Helmet inside.


    After that, he closed the wardrobe doors and left his room for dinner.

 Chapter 11 - Winterland.

    A Continent called Wintend is a majestic ce.


    It is a ce where it snows every day of the year¡ª there isn''t summer, autumn, or spring.


    Only winter.


    Isaac lives in a city called Snowstar, and it is part of Wintend, or more precisely, part of a country called Starshow.


    But we are not talking about Snowstar now.


    A Capital Country of Wintend is called Iceshow.


    In the Iceshow, the most beautiful city in the world is located.


    That city is called White Paradise.


    Legacy Company''s Headquarters is located in White Paradise.


    White Paradise was a beautiful city, surrounded by a clear icyke, and the buildings were made of beautiful blue and white marbles. Snow is covering the ground and the buildings, making the scene mesmerizing.


    The city was surrounded by arge snowy forest, with mountains in the distance, making the view look absolutely stunning.


    In the middle of the White Paradise, the Legacy Company''s Headquarters are located.


    The Legacy Company''s Headquarters was a massive skyscraper, with 100 floors at least.


    It is the tallest building in White Paradise and very beautiful as well.


    Currently, on the top floor of the Legacy Company''s Headquarters.


    Thousands of screens were shown, while hundreds of workers were typing their keyboards without stopping.


    In the middle of the room, a middle-aged man with short ck hair and exhausting-looking was standing peacefully. His face was handsome, but it looked very weary, and dirty. Obviously haven''t showered in some time.


    He is the President of Legacy Company and the main creator of the game called White Online.


    His name is Arthur Welhenheim.


    He was scanning all the screens simultaneously¡ª he is also one of the smartest individuals in the world, with an IQ of 230.


    *Creak*


    The door to the top floor was opened, and a middle-aged woman with dozen other individuals with business suits walked in.


    ''''Arthur.'''' The middle-aged woman said with a smile. She had beautiful long blond hair with strikingly beautiful blue eyes, like peerless gems. Her body was voluptuous, with long legs and smooth-looking thighs. She is Arthur''s Secretary, Emilia.


    Arthur didn''t even look at them, ''''What do you want?''''


    ''''The Board of Directors are here,'''' Emilia said with a wry smile¡ª she feels like a headache is about toe.


    Arthur nced at them and said, ''''Fuck off.''''


    ''''You can''t talk to us like that!'''' One of the Directors shouted with a red face.


    Arthur turned his head, ''''I have not slept for three days, and finally, the day of release is here. I am sorry that I am not in the mood to entertain you, but I am needed here if something goes wrong. So, can you people, kindly fuck off?''''


    He turned around to look at the screens once again, ignoring the angry Board of Directors.


    Emilia facepalmed, she turned towards the angry Directors and smiled, ''''Arthur is not feeling well, let''s have a meeting next week, shall we?''''


    The Board of Directors gritted their teeth and left the room.


    Emilia walked next to Arthur, ''''Shouldn''t you have said it in a slightly kinder tone?''''


    Arthur didn''t change his expression, ''''I said sorry.''''


    Emilia sighed.


    ''''Is everything going alright?'''' Emilia asked.


    Arthur nodded, ''''I have seen a few interesting things. A few hours ago, one yer refused Legacy Quest.''''


    Emilia widened her eyes in shock, ''''How could someone be that stupid?''''


    Arthur chuckled, ''''Not sure was he stupid... That Legacy was Vaulon''s.''''


    ''''The Untrustworthy Swordsman? I see...'''' Emilia nodded her head.


    ''''It is only Ordinary Legacy and very weak one as well.''''


    ''''Anything else has happened?''''


    Arthur pondered for a few moments, ''''The 10 Kings and Queens are doing as expected. They have already left the Newbie Vige behind and entered the Starting City.''''


    ''''Did anyone else get Legacy?''''


    Arthur nodded, ''''Few are doing their Quests right now, but it will take a quite long time before they finish them. Their Stats are poor.''''


    Emilia nodded, ''''What about the Gods... How are they reacting?''''


    Arthur shrugged, ''''Excited, as always... But for some reason, Khione, the Goddess of Snow, has been very angry.''''


    Emilia paled, ''''Someone made her angry?! Who was stupid enough to do that?!''''


    Arthur shrugged, ''''No idea... We couldn''t look at their meetings with fated yers.''''


    ''''How many yers were chosen as candidates for Godly Legacies?''''


    ''''125,'''' Arthur said.


    ''''More than anticipated.''''


    Arthur nodded, ''''That''s why they are excited.''''


    Emilia saw his fatigued face, ''''Arthur, shouldn''t you sleep?''''


    Arthur shook his head, ''''The first day is the most important. I need to see it through.''''


    Emilia shook her head and started walking towards the door.


    But before that, she took ast look at Arthur and said with a caring face, ''''Get some restter.''''


    Arthur didn''t answer¡ª instead, he nodded and kept looking at the screens.


    Emilia sadly smiled and entered the elevator.


    Arthur''s eyelids started getting heavier, but then a loud shout was heard.


    ''''President!'''' One of the workers shouted.


    Arthur opened his eyes, ''''Yes?''''


    ''''Khione wants to talk to you!''''


    Arthur sighed, ''''Put it on the screen.''''


    The thousands of screens went ck, and soon a face of peerless beauty was shown on the screen, but she had a very cold-looking face, but her eyes were filled with anger.


    ''''Arthur!'''' Khione screamed.


    Arthur and all the workers bowed deeply.


    ''''Goddess Khione, how may I help you?'''' Arthur asked.


    ''''Who was the yer I talked with?! I need the name!'''' Khione gritted her teeth hatefully.


    Arthur sweatdropped, ''''I don''t know Goddess Khione. The Gods had forbidden us to watch any of the meetings.''''


    Khione crossed her arms, ''''Are you telling me... That I can''t get my revenge?!''''


    Arthur wiped his sweat, ''''W-What did he do to upset you, Goddess Khione?''''


    ''''He made fun of me!'''' Khione screamed.


    Arthur almost facented on the ground.


    But he was soon saved.


    ''''Khione, GET BACK HERE!'''' A loud shout was heard from the screen.


    Khione paled, ''''But... Dad!''''


    Boreas came and dragged her away from the screen.


    He politely smiled, ''''I am sorry for this inconvenience, Arthur, you must be busy.''''


    After that, the screen went ck once again.


    Arthur''s eyebrow twitched, ''''Who the hell was stupid enough to anger Goddess of Snow?''''

 Chapter 12 - Forum.

    Isaac entered the dining hall and instantly sat down in the middle of Isabe and Alice.


    Everyone at the dining table put their hands on prayer.


    ''''Goddess of Snow, thank you for blessing this meal,'''' Maxwell said aloud.


    Isaac grabbed the fork and knife.


    ''''Isaac, how was the game?'''' Maxwell asked curiously.


    Isaac had a small smile, ''''It was fun, actually.''''


    Maxwell nodded, and then out of curiosity asked, ''''When you first joined the game... Did you see anyone?''''


    Isaac pondered a moment before nodding, ''''I did... A cold-looking woman asked my name, etc.''''


    Alice flinched, ''You didn''t tell me you met someone like that...'' She thought to herself.


    She doesn''t know that Isaac forgot about her, and that''s why he didn''t tell her.


    Maxwell looked serious, ''''I see...''''


    He didn''t say anything else and kept eating.


    Isaac ate as well, and the dinner went infortable silence.


    But then Sophia opened her mouth, ''''Isaac... Amelia asked about you.''''


    Maxwell and Isabe stopped eating and looked with worry towards Isaac.


    Alice clenched her fist.


    Isaac put the fork and knife down¡ª he wiped his mouth with a napkin, ''''What does she want?''''


    Sophia sighed, ''''She... Wanted to meet you.''''


    ''''Absolutely not!'''' Alice shouted.


    Sophia looked at her sharply, ''''It isn''t your decision to make, Alice.''''


    Alice looked hatefully towards Sophia.


    Isaac stood up and started walking away from the dining hall.


    ''''Isaac!'''' Isabe shouted with worry.


    Isaac stopped and looked at Sophia, ''''I will never meet her.'''' He said with a chilly tone, which made even Maxwell have chills.


    Sophia went silent and lowered her head.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and left the dining room.


    He went straight to the fourth floor and entered his room.


    ''''Aaahh...'''' Isaac took a deep breath and sat down on his bed.


    He covered his otherworldly face with his hands.


    ''''Amelia... That name brings back memories I didn''t want to remember...''''


    *Bam*


    Isaac flinched and looked at the door, which was mmed open by an angry-looking ck-haired girl.


    ''''Sophia... That bitch!'''' Alice growled.


    ''''Woah!'''' Isaac eximed, ''''She is still your sister.''''


    ''''I don''t care!'''' Alice shouted and sat down next to Isaac, ''''She knows how much you hate Amelia!''''


    Isaac sighed, ''''I don''t hate her... I hate the memories which include her.''''


    ''''How can you not hate her?'''' Alice sadly said.


    Isaac scratched his head, ''''She is still my first love...''''


    Alice looked pained, ''''Y-You haven''t gotten over her?''''


    Isaac smiled, ''''I had a long time ago...''''


    Alice looked at him, and her face was morphed into worry. Amelia hurt him a lot, and Isaac is still in pain.


    She shook her head and stood up, ''''I-I have school early tomorrow... Good night brother.''''


    ''''Sweet dreams,'''' Isaac said and looked at her as she was walking away.


    *Bam*


    The door was closed, and the room was brought back to the usual silence.


    Isaac grabbed hisptop and went to the White Online websites to find anything new.


    Most of the things were about sses and legacies.


    [Special Stats For Every ss!]


    Isaac looked curious and clicked it.


    [Swordsman: Special Stat - Dexterity]


    [Knight: Special Stat - Dual Wielding]


    [Brawler: Special Stat - Technique]


    [Thief: Special Stat - Robbing]


    [Assassin: Special Stat - Stealth]


    Isaac looked at the Fighter ss'' special stats, and he felt like the biggest threat was Assassin and Thief.


    Assassin''s special stat is Stealth which will be extremely hard to defend against, and Thief''s special stat Robbing has such tremendous potential, which makes Isaac very wary of them.


    Next, he clicked the Shooter.


    [Marksman: Special Stat - Precision]


    [Gunner: Special Stat - Rapidity]


    [Hitman: Special Stat - Instinct]


    [Archer: Special Stat - Physique]


    [Hunter: Special Stat - Tracking]


    Isaac saw Hitman and Hunter being extremely dangerous opponents in the future.


    He doesn''t know what their limit is, but it must depend on how many Stat Points they pour on it, but as long as the yer with those sses aren''tplete dumbass, they must know that their Special Stat is the most important one.


    Next, he clicked, Support.


    [Medic: Special Stat - Scanner]


    [Healer: Special Stat - Healing]


    [Potion Master: Special Stat - Brewing]


    [Poison Master: Special Stat - Resistance]


    [Priest: Special Stat - Faith]


    Isaac rubbed his chin¡ª he feels like the Support ss is very weird and seems very weak.


    But there must be something else to it...


    He shrugged and clicked the Mixed ss next, which might be the most used in White Online, only because people think that the Mixed ss is almost equal to Unique because the sses sound so unique.


    [Pdin: Special Stat - Holy]


    [Spellcaster: Special Stat - Magic]


    [Trap Master: Special Stat - Intelligence]


    [Trickster: Special Stat - Illusion]


    [Dark Priest: Special Stat - Darkness]


    Isaac wished that there would be descriptions for every ss, but he guessed that no one is genuinely aware yet of the true potential of the Special Stats.


    Beta Testers would know, but of course, they kept their lips shut.


    Isaac surfed on the inte for a few moments longer, trying to find anything interesting.


    He read a few articles about few people doing Legacy Quests and that it is an impossible quest before Level 30, at least!


    Isaac wasn''t sure about that... Why did Game Developers hurry people to find Legacies instantly if it was impossible toplete them?


    ''''... Hmm, weird.'''' Isaac was about to close theptop, but then another interesting article showed up.


    [Marksman Is The Weakest Shooter ss!]


    [Marksman ss is, in my opinion, the weakest ss! The ability of Precision can be great¡ª it helps you to aim better and more precisely, and it will be powerful at start, but...


    Once yers level up higher, their reflexes because of the stat points will keep increasing until Marksman''s Precision is entirely useless! No matter how good your aim is, you can''t hit someone with 1000 agility!


    It is different from Hitman, who can use his Instinct to dodge every attack and predict where his opponents will be! Even Archer, in my opinion is better¡ª at first I thought that it was very weak, but when I thought deeper. The increase in Physique is extremely good! Archer can work as a sword and hand-to-handbatant as well!]


    [Every other Shooter ss can work in close-quarterbat, but not Marksman! It is sniper ss, and Precision works best in long-range attacks. It works in close range, but it is dozens of times weaker than any other ss. I suggest not to use Marksman¡ª it will save you from trouble in the future, and if you still didn''t change and you were too stubborn. Don''t say that I didn''t warn you]


    [King us - Beta Tester]


    ''''Well, he sounds smart...'''' Isaac looked at thements and saw everyone agreeing andpletely dissing the Marksman ss.


    He shook his head, ''''Morons....''''

 Chapter 13 - Rachel.

    Next Day.


    Isaac woke up, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and put his clothes on.


    He went downstairs and saw it being empty as always.


    He put on his shoes and jacket and opened the front door.


    The ground was again filled with snow, and the servants of the mansion used shovels to clear the snow.


    Once they saw Isaac appearing, they bowed respectfully and continued doing their jobs.


    Isaac put his hands on his pockets¡ª there was a warm season in Wintend and the cold season.


    The warm season is still cold, but the cold season is very cold.


    Every breath he took caused cold smoke to appear in front of him, and he felt his face turning numb.


    He reached the Metal Gates and was instantly stopped by two men wearing thick winter clothing.


    ''''Young master, where are you going?'''' The first bodyguard, also known as Michael, asked respectfully.


    Isaac sighed, ''''Going for a walk.''''


    ''''May we apany you? Master''s orders.'''' The second bodyguard, also known as Richard, asked.


    ''''Doesn''t matter what I say... Right?'''' Isaac asked with a raised eyebrow.


    Michael wryly smiled, ''''Sorry, young master. Master''s orders are absolute.''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''Fine...''''


    The two bodyguards nodded and opened the gates.


    Isaac exited the Mansion''s premises while the two bodyguards walked 10 meters behind him.


    Isaac rubbed his two hands together, ''I should have brought my mittens... I forgot that cold season starts...''


    ''''Excuse me, young master.'''' Michael said and walked next to him.


    ''''Yes, Michael?'''' Isaac asked.


    Michael offered pair of mittens.


    Isaac shook his head, ''''I don''t need...''''


    Michael wryly smiled, ''''We need to protect you from the cold as well.''''


    Isaac sighed¡ª he resisted facepalming.


    He nodded and took the mittens, ''''Thanks...''''


    ''''No problem.'''' Michael smiled and walked next to Richard.


    ''I am not some helpless kitten...'' Isaac thought, but he knew that rejecting wouldn''t do any good.


    His parents are slightly overprotective.


    ''''Hey, Isaac.''''


    Isaac heard a voice.


    He turned his head towards a mansion with massive metal gates, very simr with their house.


    Isaac smiled after seeing a gentle-looking woman on the other side of the metal gates.


    The woman was wearing heavy winter clothing, but it didn''t lessen her charm¡ª instead slightly amplified it. She had beautiful flowing blond hair and a voluptuous body. She had delicate-looking eyebrows, a cute pointed nose, and a face that could rival any model.


    ''''Mrs. Rachel,'''' Isaac said with a smile.


    Rachel gently smiled, ''''Just call me Rachel. How have you been?'''' She asked with a caring tone.


    ''''I have been fine, going for a walk,'''' Isaac said while sneakily pointing towards two bodyguards.


    Rachel put her hand on her mouth and gently giggled, ''''I see, but you need to understand they are doing it because they love you.''''


    Isaac is aware that she is talking about his parents.


    He nodded and replied, ''''I know...''''


    ''''Come closer.'''' Rachel said with a gentle smile.


    Isaac reached the metal gates and felt Rachel''s warm hands touching his cheeks.


    They had a metal gate between them, separating their bodies.


    ''''Soft as always.'''' Rachel giggled and yed with his cheeks.


    Isaac rolled his eyes, ''''Why do you all like to y with my cheeks?''''


    Rachel giggled and took her hands back, ''''I am envious of your skin... It''s snow-white,bined with your beautiful white hair. I am very envious.''''


    Isaac chuckled, ''''I don''t know should I take that as apliment... I am a guy after all.''''


    Rachel chuckled, ''''If you crossdress as a girl, nobody would doubt a thing.'''' She said teasingly.


    ''''Alright!'''' Isaac said loudly, ''''It was nice seeing you.''''


    ''''Take care, and you are always weed to visit us.'''' Rachel said gently.


    Isaac nodded and waved his hand.


    He started walking towards the gates of the neighborhood.


    The gate was guarded by two same guards as two days ago when Isaac went for a walk.


    The guard who gave him an anger-filled gaze saw Isaac approaching.


    He elbowed his partner in guard duty, ''''It''s that brat again.''''


    His partner looked at Isaac and snorted, ''''Shall we do it again? But slower.''''


    The guard smirked and nodded.


    Isaac reached the gate.


    ''''ID.'''' The guard asked while hiding a smirk.


    ''''ID? Excuse me?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow.


    ''''Are you deaf? Give me your ID.''''


    Isaac''s eyebrow twitched¡ª he grabbed his wallet and showed his ID.


    The guard looked at the ID and then looked towards Isaac.


    ''''You don''t look anything like the picture in ID.'''' The guard said with a visible smirk.


    Isaac grimaced¡ª he looked at the ID picture, and it was 100% simr because he got a new ID 10 days ago!


    ''''Just let me fucking pass,'''' Isaac retorted.


    ''''Not with that attitude, go back to your mom, you fucking brat.'''' The guard said mockingly.


    Isaac grimaced, but then a shadow leaped over the gate.


    The two guards widened their eyes as they saw Michael jumping over the gate effortlessly.


    Michael took a gun from his gun holster and aimed it towards the guard''s head.


    ''''He is Young Master of Whitelock family! Show some respect!'''' Michael roared angrily.


    The guards paled instantly¡ª their bodies started trembling, and they almost fell on their butts.


    Michael snorted and pushed the button on the desk which opened the gates.


    Isaac exited the neighborhood through the gates.


    ''''Michael, that''s enough.'''' Isaac said with tired face.


    Michael nodded and put his gun back to his holster.


    ''''My Master will find out about this,'''' Michael said with a chilly tone.


    The guards paled.


    ''''W-We were only doing our jobs!'''' The guard who made fun of Isaac said with a despairing tone.


    Michael snorted, ''''Do you think I am stupid? You are lucky if you keep your life, don''t push your luck.''''


    He then turned around and started walking behind Isaac, who had already walked some distance away.


    Richard didn''t move yet, and turned his head towards the guards, ''''It isn''t Isaac''s fault that your wife left you.''''


    The guard grimaced, ''''She left me because she fell in love with that brat!''''


    Richard snorted, ''''Isaac didn''t know... It was all your wife''s doing, and she was stupid enough to think that she could seduce our young master¡ª how foolish.'''' He turned around and started following Isaac.


    The guard clenched his fist hatefully.

 Chapter 14 - StreamKing.

    Isaac walked in the snowy streets while two bodyguards were alert and suspicious of every individual who walked past him.


    He went past a few stores with screens that showed today''s news.


    Isaac got curious and stopped walking.


    Few passersby''s around him also looked at the screen with curiosity.


    The female News Anchor smiled and opened her mouth, ''''Yesterday''s White Online release was a huge sess. Over 500 million copies of White Online have been sold, and it is rising! It might break 1 billion this week, which is an incredible number!''''


    ''''Young master, was that the game you tried?'''' Michael asked with curiosity.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Yes, and I don''t think it is strange for White Online to be this popr... It is almost second world after all.''''


    But then the News Anchor once again opened her mouth, ''''But there has been a rise ofints as well... If you are below Level 6, and you die, your ount will be terminated, and you need to buy a new set of VR Helmet to y again! Most of the yers think that Legacy Company is doing this to milk more money, but we had the honor to have a short interview with the President of Legacy Company.''''


    ''''Arthur, what do you think about theseints?'''' The Reporter asked with a polite and respectful tone.


    Arthur''s face was still tired, and he felt pretty annoyed, ''''There is reason doing that... But those brainless morons can''t understand that... But they will in the future. If you died before reaching Level 6, it only means that you are one of the so-called weaklings, and that world doesn''t need weaklings.'''' After those words, Arthur walked away, leaving a stunned reporter behind.


    The News Anchor looked slightly awkward, ''''Those were the words of Legacy Company''s President, now for the other news...''''


    Isaac chuckled, ''''He is a smart man...''''


    ''''What do you mean, young master?'''' Michael was curious, ''''Doesn''t he garner more hate this way?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''His words meant ''Pathetic losers dying before Level 6, you don''t deserve to y the game.'' His words will only make yers more motivated to prove Arthur wrong.''''


    ''''You mean...'''' Michael widened his eyes.


    Isaac nodded, ''''The ones who died at the start will buy VR Helmet once again.''''


    ''''I-It''s not cheap.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''It''s not cheap...but it is not too expensive either. Most of the people''s pride won''t allow being called as a weakling.''''


    Michael and Richard nodded thoughtfully.


    ''''I think White Online reaches 1 billion yers in a few days...'''' Isaac muttered and started walking in the streets once again.


    Michael and Richard were brought out of their stupor and started following behind him.


    Isaac walked peacefully in the streets and reached the gates of his neighborhood one hourter.


    The guards, this time opened the gates without a problem and were silent.


    Shortly afterward, Isaac reached the Whitelock residence.


    Michael and Richard bowed and left to do their other jobs.


    Isaac entered the mansion¡ª he put off his shoes and put his jacket on the hanger.


    ''''Isaac?'''' Isabe peeked from the kitchen.


    ''''Hey, mom.'''' Isaac greeted her.


    ''''Again going for a walk?'''' Isabe questioned.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Michael and Richard were with me.''''


    Isabe sighed in relief, ''''Good, are you going to y now? Dinner will be in a few hours.''''


    Isaac pondered and nodded, ''''I will y for a few hours, I guess.''''


    Isabe nodded and smiled, ''''Have fun.''''


    Isaac nodded and ascended the stairs all the way to the fourth floor.


    He entered his room and took his sweater off, and only wore his t-shirt.


    ''''Let''s see how are the others doing...'''' Isaac murmured and grabbed hisptop.


    He went straight to a Livestreaming tform called StreamKing.


    It is currently the most popr one, and some top streamers have over a million viewers every stream.


    Isaac went straight to Underlord''s stream and saw his viewer rate being at 631k!


    He opened the stream and started watching.


    Underlord walked in the streets, but the buildings were much bigger and stylish than the Swornword vige.


    He was currently in the Starting City called Stronglord, located in South Continent.


    There are five continents.


    South, West, East, North, and Central.


    Every continent has its own Starting City, and the Continent where people are summoned is not random!


    In real life, there are four Continents.


    Wintend, Summend, Autumnd, and Sprinnd.


    Since Underlord is in South Continent, it means he is from Wintend.


    Your Continent is determined where you live in real life.


    The Stronglord city was massive, spanning over 10 kilometers.


    The City was surrounded by a massive rock wall, with a height of 50 meters, and the architecture wasn''t as old as viges.


    The architecture was simr to the 1800s century.


    There was also a proper road, not as smooth as asphalt, but still much better than a dirt road.


    The City was also muchrger than vige, it could definitely fit hundreds of thousands of yers and NPC alike.


    There was a massive mountain in the City, and at the top of the mountain, there was a majestic-looking pce.


    It was the Royal Pce of the Stronglord Empire.


    Isaac looked fascinated as Underlord kept walking in the streets.


    But then Underlord showed his stats... The stat points were hidden, but everything else was seen clearly.


    [Name: Underlord]

    Isaac watched with mouth agape.


    ''''Waahh... He is indeed pro.'''' Isaac felt amazed.


    ''''He has hidden the Quest description as well... I guess that''s smart, and the HP and stat points as well... So that no one uses that knowledge to their advantage, I guess...''''


    ''''He also has skill already... That is amazing.'''' Isaac was genuinely amazed, he is sure that Underlord isn''t the best yer, but he is one of the most entertaining ones... But even he is Level 13... How high are the top yers?


    ''''Was he Beta Tester as well...?'''' Isaac pondered¡ª he closed theptop and stood up.


    He went to his wardrobe, opened the doors, and grabbed a box.


    He put the box gently on the floor and grabbed a blue-colored helmet.


    Isaac lied down on the bed and started wearing the VR Helmet.


    [Connecting....]

 Chapter 15 - Leather Armor.

    Isaac opened his eyes and saw him standing in the streets.


    To be more precise, he is standing at the spot where he logged off.


    Isaac noticed yer''s having better gear than previously.


    Most of them weren''t wearing the same newbie gear as Isaac¡ª instead, they were already wearing leather armor.


    Some even had pieces of Iron armor.


    Isaac decided to go check out the Armory once again and maybe buy a few pieces of armor, depends how much it costs.


    He walked in the streets and arrived at the shabby-looking building, but the interior was much better.


    He was about to enter the building, but then he was interrupted.


    ''''Hey, girl. How did you manage to wear male clothes?'''' Isaac turned his head and saw a group of three girls wearing Leather armor, but their excellent figures couldn''t be hidden.


    Male and female had a slight difference in the newbie outfit.


    The Male had a white shirt and leather pants.


    Females had a long-sleeved shirt with leather pants, but their pants were slightly shorter than males.


    The group of three were looking with curiosity towards Isaac, whose skin looked wless, which made them slightly jealous.


    Isaac rubbed his cheek and said, ''''I am a guy...''''


    ''''WHAT?!'''' The three girls eximed.


    ''I don''t look like a girl...'' Isaac almost cried imaginary tears, but then he saw his reflection in the window


    ''My skin looks smooth... and my eyebrows look delicate... but that''s all...''


    ''Maybe I should build more muscle...?'' Isaac kept thinking.


    ''''Y-You are a guy?'''' The group of girls couldn''t believe it.


    ''''Yep!'''' Isaac said.


    ''''Wow...'''' The group of girls looked fascinated¡ª their cheeks were slightly dyed in pink.


    ''''Nice talking with you, excuse me,'''' Isaac said and entered the building.


    ''''W-Wait!'''' The group of girls followed behind him.


    Isaac again saw the grumpy-looking seller.


    But he didn''t go to him first¡ª he looked at the items in the walls.


    He found the prize of leather armor easily.


    [Full Leather Armor - Cost: 300 White Coins]


    ''Not that expensive...'' Isaac murmured and went towards Iron items.


    [Full Iron Armor - Cost: 800 White Coins]


    Isaac looked at the heavy-looking armor.


    ''It doesn''t fit for me... Not flexible enough... But the Leather Armor is good...'' Isaac gazed at the leather armor, which was obviously more expensive.


    Isaac went to the leather armor and grabbed it.


    He went to the grumpy-looking old man and put the armor on the desk.


    ''''I want to buy this and 100 Flintlock bullets.''''


    The grumpy-looking old man snorted, ''''310 White Coins!''''


    Isaac nodded and put the coins on the table.


    The grumpy-looking old man grabbed the coins and waved his hand, ''''Get lost.''''


    Isaac put the armor in the Inventory and put the bullets in his pouch.


    He turned around and left towards the group of girls, who were waiting for him.


    ''''H-Hey.'''' The first girl said with a slight blush.


    She had short blond hair with beautiful blue eyes. The armor slightly covered her figure, but her beautiful face was still a ma for guys.


    ''''Yea?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow, ''Why are they waiting for me?''


    ''''C-Can you ept my friend request?'''' She asked with hope.


    ''Friend request..? There was something like that?'' Isaac didn''t know, and he became instantly curious.


    He nodded, ''''Sure.''''


    He watched as the blond girl clumsily pressed something in the air, and a message popped in front of him.


    [Friend Request Received!]


    [yer Hellsky sent you a Friend Request!]


    [ept/Reject]


    Isaac pressed ept.


    [yer Hellsky is now on your Friend List!]


    [Hellsky: Level 8]


    ''''Me too!'''' Two other girls shouted loudly, and Isaac got another two yers for his friend list.


    [WinterLove: Level 8]


    [SnowMaiden: Level 8]


    ''''Thank you!'''' Hellsky bowed deeply.


    ''''No problem?'''' Isaac said with a strange tone¡ª he left the building and started walking in the streets.


    ''''See youter!'''' Isaac heard their loud shouts.


    ''Weird girls.'' Isaac thought with a slight smile.


    He reached a bench and sat down. He started finding out where the friend list was located but didn''t find it anywhere.


    ''''Hmm... Interface.'''' Isaac murmured.

    And how did the three girls manage to do that?


    ''''Strange...'''' He muttered, but then he saw him having 10 stat points.


    ''''Ah... Let''s see.'''' Isaac put all the stat points on Precision.


    He is nning to test the Precision''s absolute limit and hopefully prove King us wrong.

    Isaac then opened his Inventory and grabbed the Leather armor.


    [Leather Armor (Common) - HP Increase by 10 Points]


    He wore leather armor, and now he looked more experienced yer.


    ''''10 Points increase...'''' Isaac muttered and looked at his HP.


    [HP: 60/60 - Leather Armor Effect]


    ''''That''s nice... But I don''t wanna buy the Iron armor... Is there better armor perhaps...'''' Isaac shrugged and decided to throw those thoughts away for now.


    ''''I need to level up...'''' Isaac stood up and left the vige.


    He reached the familiar-looking forest, which had fewer yers than previously.


    But he heard some distant fighting noisesing from the forest.


    ''''This will be difficult...'''' Isaac thought aloud.


    yer''s levels have been increasing greatly, and most of them are already good enough to defeat Level 5 and Level 6 wild animals.


    ''''Should I yer kill?''''


    Isaac decided to first enter the forest and decide there.


    Most of the yers have been grouped with their friends or newly found allies.


    ''Killing is almost impossible... I can''t kill whole parties... And I might be a target for yer killing because I am alone!'' Isaac wasn''t sure what to do, but he sneakily entered deeper into the forest and saw a lonely-looking Wild Bear.


    [Omega Wild Bear]


    [Level 8]


    [HP: 70/70]


    Isaac took his Flintlock from the Inventory and aimed at the Wild Boar... but then, he heard a noise.


    He quickly hid behind the tree and peeked towards the other side of the forest.


    He saw three different individuals sneaking closer to the Wild Bear, trying to take down the Bear with a sneak attack.


    ''This will be difficult...'' Isaac thought while eyeing the three figures.


    If he ys this right... He might get a lot of XP....

 Chapter 16 - Kill Steal.

    A few minutes ago.


    Three figures were crouching behind a bush while looking at the Wild Bear not far from them.


    ''''Tom, are you sure about this?'''' A young man with short blond hair asked with some uncertainty.


    ''''Luke, trust me! This will be an easy kill.'''' Tom said with a confident expression. He was a slightly taller man with brown hair.


    ''''I-I am not too sure about this... What if someone kill steals it?'''' A young woman next to them asked. She had long brown hair, with average-looking face, and leather armor.


    ''''Jess, have some faith alright,'''' Tom said with a grinning expression.


    Jess and Luke sighed.


    ''''If we die... We will be Level 1 once again, and we can''t y for another week... We will be left behind others by a great deal.'''' Luke tried to talk some sense.


    Tom snorted, ''''If we kill the Bear, we will Level Up, and get a lot of White Coins.''''


    Jess and Luke wryly smiled¡ª once Tom decides to do something, he will do it.


    ''''Let''s sneak attack and deal as much damage as possible. Rest will be easy.'''' Tom said and left the bushes.


    Jess and Luke followed behind him, they dodged every twig on the ground, so they won''t make even slight noise.


    Tom was holding his sword in an attacking stance.


    He and Luke were swordsmen, while Jess was Healer.


    Jess was holding a green-colored cane which she could use to heal others.


    Tom and Luke were standing next to each other, and only 5 meters away from the Bear.


    Tom showed three fingers towards Luke.


    Then he lowered one finger, and now he only showed two.


    Then he lowered another one, and now he showed only one.


    And then he lowered thest finger, and both of them leaped to the air.


    ''''RAAA!'''' Tom shouted madly and chopped his Iron sword down.


    Luke attacked the Bear''s neck as well because neck and head gives critical damage.


    The Bear heard a loud shout, but then he felt two sharp items stabbing his neck.


    ''''GRAAAAAAAAAA!'''' The Bear shouted madly.


    [-25 HP]


    [-25 HP]


    [HP: 20/70]


    The Bear turned his mad red eyes towards Tom and Luke.


    ''''One more!'''' Tom shouted, but then the Bear''s paw appeared above him.


    ''''LOOK OUT!'''' Jess shouted.


    Tom did a sidestep, but Bear used his paw to p him away.


    ''''UGH!'''' Tom groaned in pain and crashed to a nearby tree.


    [-39 HP!]


    [TomValeo]


    [Level 6]


    [HP: 19/58]


    ''''JESS, HEAL ME!'''' Tom shouted.


    Jess turned her cane towards Tom, and the tip of the cane started glowing on the color of green.


    ''''Heal!'''' Jess shouted.


    [+15 HP]


    [34/58]


    Tom stood up and rushed towards the Bear.


    Luke was desperately trying to dodge the Bear''s paws, but his luck ran out, and the Bear used his paw to smash Luke to the ground.


    [-41 HP]


    [HP: 16/57]


    The Bear was about to finish him off, but then Tom appeared behind him.


    ''''RAAA!'''' Tom stabbed his sword deep on the Bear''s back.


    ''''RAAAAAAAAAWR!'''' The Bear madly roared and started twisting his body, which sent Tom flying a few meters.


    [-15 HP]


    [Omega Wild Bear]


    [Level 8]


    [HP: 5/70]


    Both Luke and Tom were down on the ground, and only 5 HP remained on the Bear.


    ''''JESS, HEAL ME!'''' Tom roared.


    His HP has lowered by Bear''s hit as well.


    [HP: 8/58]


    ''''I-I can''t. It is on cooldown¡ª wait for 10 more seconds!'''' Jess cried out with a pale face.


    ''''WE DON''T HAVE 10 SECONDS!'''' Tom cried out and saw the Bear stomping towards him menacingly.


    ''''D-Damn...'''' Tom muttered.


    *SWISH*


    ''''Ah!'''' Tom cried out and felt something hit the back of his head.


    He looked confused, but then his body turned into pixels.


    [You Have Been Killed By yer Wraith!]


    Luke and Jess were shocked.


    Tom suddenly died!


    ''''H-How?''''


    *SWISH*


    Two rocks left the forest and hit Luke on the forehead.


    [You Have Been Killed By yer Wraith!]


    ''''L-Luke...'''' Jess went pale and started retreating.


    The Bear looked confused as well, but then he heard Jess'' voice.


    The Bear turned his menacing red eyes towards the brown-haired girl.


    But before he could take another hit, suddenly a rock hit his head.


    ''''RAAWR!'''' The Bear felt anger, but then his body turned into pixels.


    Jess fell down on the ground on her butt.


    *Crack*


    A sound of a twig getting broken behind her was heard, but then she felt a cold item touching her head.


    ''''Sorry about this.'''' She heard a male voice.


    *BANG*


    A hole appeared on her forehead, and her body turned into pixels.

    He also grabbed the item he got for killing the Bear.


    [Omega Wild Bear''s Meat (Common)]


    Isaac''s nametag becamepletely orange.


    ''''Orange...?'''' Isaac finally saw it.


    ''''It came from the yer-killing, I guess...'''' Isaac scratched his head¡ª he can''t return to the vige with an orange nametag.


    ''''Well, since I can''t return... Time to do my Quest.'''' Isaac said aloud and put the Quest Interface in front of him.

    Isaac heard a dinging noise¡ª he put his Interface on and saw a blinking red spot on his Map.


    This time the Map didn''t only show the Swornword vige, it also showed the Forest, and there was a blinking red spot on it.


    ''''I guess there is the Wolfie....'''' Isaac murmured and saw that he had to go deeper into the forest to reach the Wolf.

    ''''RAAA!'''' Tom took the VR Helmet off and roared angrily.


    ''''Tom! Quiet down!'''' A female voice came from downstairs.


    ''''Sorry, mom...'''' Tom said, but he was clenching his fists in anger.


    ''''Wraith...'''' He murmured the name hatefully¡ª he quickly grabbed his phone and dialed Luke.


    *Ring*


    The phone rang a few moments until it connected.


    ''''Luke! What happened?'''' Tom asked in a hurry.


    Luke sighed, ''''I got killed by yer Wraith... What about you?''''


    Tom gritted his teeth, ''''Same...''''


    ''''Heard about Jess?'''' Luke asked.


    ''''No... I will call her!'''' Tom disconnected the phone call and dialed Jess'' number.


    *Ring*


    The phone rang a few seconds until it connected.


    ''''Jess! What happened?!''''


    Jess sighed on the other side of the phone, ''''yer Wraith killed me... And he also killed the Bear.''''


    ''''YOU ARE USELESS¡ª YOU SHOULD HAVE KILLED HIM!'''' Tom roared out of anger.


    ''''Excuse me?! I am a healer!'''' Jess shouted.


    Tom was brought out of his anger, ''''I-I didn''t mean i...'''' Before he could finish his sentence, Jess hung up.


    ''''THIS IS ALL WRAITH''S FAULT!'''' Tom shouted and threw his phone down.


    ''''TOM! QUIET DOWN!''''


    ''''Sorry, mom...'''' Tom sat down on the bed with a defeated expression.


    ''''I will get my revenge...'''' Tom bit his lip and swore.


    ''''He seems to be yer killer and kill stealer... There must be more victims.'''' Tom went to his PC and opened the White Online forums.


    He started writing article with an interesting title.


    [Wraith, I will get my revenge!]


    ...


    A young man opened a door.


    He had short red hair, with average face, and a slightly dirty outfit. His body was average as well, somewhat overweight.


    ''''Finally, it''s here!'''' Smander eximed.


    He grabbed a box outside the house and took it back inside.


    He went to buy a new VR Helmet yesterday, but it was sold out.


    He had to order a new one and managed to get one today.


    Smander took a beautiful white-colored VR Helmet with the words Gold on the golden text on the side.


    He bought another Gold Ranked Helmet because people say that every rank has a very big difference.


    If you have used Gold Ranker Helmet and then use Silver Ranked.


    The difference is like day and night¡ª it feels so ufortable ying with lower ranked that some people can''t even y.


    The Gold Ranked Helmet costs 1499$, and the next rank, tinum, costs 2999$.


    This means he could have bought tinum Ranked one, but he had no idea that his Gold Ranked Helmet would be useless in one day, and he didn''t want to spend all his money for tinum Ranked one... but because Wraith killed him, he had no other choice.


    He walked to his room and put the VR Helmet gently on his bed.


    He was living in a house that had only a living room, kitchen, and two rooms.


    It is a one-floor apartment as well, and he was the only one who lived here.


    He was currently a college student with high hopes of bing rich, but White Online took away all his attention.


    Because he knows... That White Online could be his way to stardom and wealth.


    But Wraith killing him ruined his n.


    He already got fools as his party members who believed every word he said, but he always nned to kill them and taking their stuff once they were high enough level.


    ''''Wraith...'''' He gritted his teeth hatefully only by saying his name.


    ''''I need to find a way to level up quick...'''' Smander murmured and opened his old-lookingptop.


    All his money went to his food and rent, but now he spent 3000$ on VR Helmets.


    He needs to barely eat to survive this month, but he doesn''t care.


    He only cares about White Online!


    Smander went instantly to the forum, trying to find leveling up tips from pro yers.


    But instead... He saw a fascinating article.


    [Wraith, I will get my revenge!]


    ''''Hmm... Could it be?!'''' Smander instantly clicked the article and started reading.


    The article mentioned Swornword Vige and a yer called Wraith.


    ''''TomValeo...'''' Smander murmured after seeing the name of the person who did the article.


    He instantly started writing a message towards him.


    [Smander: I was killed by Wraith as well, and I am sure there are more, let''s hunt him down!]


    ...


    In a luxurious room.


    A young man with golden hair and bright blue eyes was sitting in front of the PC. His face was quite attractive, with sharp eyebrows and a semi-athletic figure. He is KnightOfHoliness.


    And he was not having a good day.


    Yesterday he was killed by Wraith and managed to run away from his friend KnightOfCharming.


    He and KnightOfProtection told him to keep chasing and kill him before he reached Level 6!


    But he didn''t find him, which made both of them angry.


    KnightOfHoliness was still waiting for his VR Helmet to arrive, but he will be left behind by other yers, and getting levels will be even more challenging.


    Everyone around the Vige will be already higher level than them.


    Luckily KnightOfCharming has reached Level 6 and can protect them.


    But there is still the threat of Wraith.


    Since KnightOfHoliness had nothing to do, he was surfing the inte.


    Mainly on White Online forums.


    He was gathering any information which helps him to level up safely, but there was nothing useful since most of the yers kept their methods secret.


    But then... He saw an interesting article.


    [Wraith, I will get my revenge!]


    It was written by a yer called TomValeo.


    KnightOfHoliness out of curiosity started reading the article and noticed that the yer he was talking about was the same person who killed him!


    And the one who wrote the article didn''t seem to know the face of Wraith.


    But KnightOfHoliness does.


    He grinned viciously and started writing a message.


    [KnightOfHoliness: Wraith killed me as well! And it seems that you don''t know how he looks, but I do! I will never forget his face, and I have two other friends who want to get revenge as well. I can help you to get your revenge, but you also need to help to get mine]


    And just like that... Without Isaac knowing anything... He was now an enemy of three figures...


    Who in the future will be known as Three Dragons of Wraithless.


    It is a Guild whose primary purpose is to kill Wraith...


    But that is all in the future....

 Chapter 18 - Blindspot.

    [You Have Entered The Sleeping ce of Adult Wolf!]


    A message popped up in front of Isaac.


    He grabbed his Flintlock and peeked behind the tree.


    He saw a 5 meter wolf with ck fur sleeping on the ground.


    Isaac saw texts floating on top of the wolf.


    [Adult Wolf]


    [Level 9]


    [HP: 90/90]


    ''''90... My Flintlock can probably do 60 damage... Not sure is it fixed damage or more random and depends where you hit.''''


    ''''I could try to level up and try to beat the Adult Wolfter...'''' Isaac murmured.


    ''''I have still 6 days left to finish the Quest.''''


    Isaac wasn''t feeling very confident about killing the Adult Wolf, but he had a hunch that Kulos might offer the Quest for someone else.


    Why else there is such a long time limit.


    Someone higher level yer can do the quest in an hour, but for some reason, the time limit is 1 week.


    Isaac felt that it was suspicious.


    *Sigh*


    Isaac sighed, ''''Let''s do this...''''


    He left his hiding spot and started sneakily walking towards the Adult Wolf.


    Adult Wolf was innocently lying on the ground¡ª his eyes were tightly shut.


    Isaac was standing in front of the Adult Wolf.


    He pointed his Flintlock towards the Adult Wolf''s head.


    He was about to press the trigger, but then he had an idea.


    Isaac aimed the flintlock pistol at Adult Wolf''s eye!


    ''Hope this works...''


    *BANG*


    Isaac pressed the trigger, and the bullet hit the Adult Wolf''s eye perfectly.


    ''''RAAAAAWR!'''' The Adult Wolf woke up with a cry of agony.


    [-63 HP]


    [HP: 27/90]


    [Adult Wolf Received 50% Blinding Damage!]


    ''''I-It worked!'''' Isaac cheered, but then the Adult Wolf turned his only remaining eye towards Isaac and red murderously.


    ''''Ah... Right... He had one more eye.'''' Isaac turned around and started running away.


    ''''RAAAAAAAAAAWR!'''' The Adult Wolf instantly spurted into motion and used his w to sh towards Isaac.


    ''''UGH!'''' Isaac felt something sharp hitting his back, but he didn''t actually feel any pain...


    [You Lost 25 HP!]


    [HP: 40/65]


    Isaac sidestepped to the left and dodged Wolf''s dangerous figure.


    He quickly nced at the reloading time.


    [24...]


    [23...]


    ''''RAAAAWRR!'''' The Adult Wolf angrily turned his head and again attacked with his ws.


    Isaac tried to dodge it, but Adult Wolf''s agility was much higher and made a shing wound on his waist.


    Isaac was sent flying while a message popped up in front of him.


    [You Lost 38 HP!]


    [HP: 2/65]


    Isaac crashed on the ground and lost another 1 HP because of that.


    [HP: 1/65]


    Isaac gritted his teeth, took his slingshot, put a couple of rocks on it, and started firing.

    The Adult Wolf only tanked the rocks and appeared in front of Isaac.


    [Adult Wolf]


    [Level 9]


    [HP: 23/90]


    The menacing-looking eye red at him and shed with his ws.


    Isaac made ast attempt to survive and jumped to the right.


    *SWISH*


    The w missed his body barely.


    Isaac was again about to dodge but then noticed the Adult Wolf looking with confusion around him.


    ''I am in his blindspot...'' Isaac thought and saw the missing eye in the skull of Adult Wolf.


    The Adult Wolf turned his head towards where Isaac was.


    But he already jumped to the right, staying on the blindspot.


    When the Adult Wolf turned his head towards him, Isaac went back to the blindspot instantly.


    And soon...


    The Reloading was over.


    [0...]


    [Reloading Is Ready!]


    Isaac quickly put a Flintlock bullet on it, aimed his pistol, and pressed the trigger.


    *BANG*


    The bullet perfectly pierced the Adult Wolf''s skull, and his body soon disappeared into pixels.


    [You Killed Adult Wolf!]


    [150 XP Earned!]


    [Quest Completed!]


    [Rewards: 100 White Coins + Rtionship with Kulos improved by 10!]


    Isaac sighed out of relief.


    ''Too risky...'''' Isaac looked around the surroundings warily.


    He had only 1 HP.


    Even a Level 1 yer could kill him, but dly no one seemed to be around.


    Isaac quickly checked the items Adult Wolf dropped.


    [Adult Wolf''s Meat (Common)]


    [Adult Wolf''s Fang (Umon)]


    ''''Nice!'''' Isaac was satisfied, but he still needed to wait for his orange nametag to disappear and his HP to return.


    He climbed to a nearby tree and started waiting.


    Meanwhile, he looked at his stats once again.

    ''''10 Stat Points...'''' Isaac murmured and decided to put them all on agility.


    [AGI: 25 -> 35]


    10 minutester.


    The long waited message came.


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]


    [Your wounds have been healed!]


    [1/65 -> 65/65]


    Isaac left the tree and started walking out of the depths of the forest.


    Every now and then, he heard fighting sounds and loud roars of wild animals.


    But he ignored it all and managed to exit the forest 10 minutester.


    He ran towards the vige.


    His orange nametag hasn''tpletely disappeared¡ª there is still a hue of orange.


    But he thought that it won''t matter much.


    And he was right.


    The Guards only looked at him and decided to keep an eye on him.


    Shortly afterward, Isaac entered the Merchant Store and saw Kulos sitting on his chair.


    ''''Young fe, you managed to do it,'''' Kulos said with a slightly impressed face.


    Isaac nodded and put the Adult Meat and Adult Fang on the desk.


    ''''You managed to get the Fang?!'''' Kulos was shocked.


    He pondered for a few minutes and then said, ''''Since you managed toplete the Quest so quick... I will give 400 White Coins for these.''''


    Isaac was surprised but happy nheless.


    Kulos gave him 400 White Coins, but Isaac still had few items.


    He put three leather armors, a green-colored cane, 2 Iron swords, and the Omega Wild Bear''s meat on the desk.


    Kulos looked at the items and pondered for some time.


    ''''I will give 1500 White Coins for all this,'''' Kulos said.


    Isaac was shocked, he was aware that he will get a lot, but this was more than expected.


    ''Is this because the rtionship was improved?'' Isaac didn''t know, but he was happy with this.


    Kulos gave him the 1500 White Coins.


    Isaac earned a total of 2000 White Coins on this trip.


    First, the 100 White Coins after the Quest gotpleted.


    Then 400 for the Adult Wolf''s items, and now 1500 for the items he got after killing Tom and the rest.


    ''''Interface...'''' Isaac murmured.

 Chapter 19 - Update.

    Isaac left the merchant store, and he was wealthier than ever before.


    ''Should I go see if there is a better weapon on the sale...'' Isaac thought and decided his next destination.


    It was the Weapon Store.


    Shortly afterward, he arrived there and entered the shop.


    He saw few customers, and they had full Iron armor, covering their bodies entirely.


    Another one had an iron shield as well.


    ''He must be almost level 10...'' Isaac thought to himself while looking at the muscr Knight in Iron armor.


    Words [Kornelius] were floating above him.


    The level can only be shown if the person wants to.


    But that Knight was obviously a smarter individual and wanted to keep his status hidden.


    Isaac was simr.


    Only his name was floating above his head because it could not be removed.


    Isaac ignored them and looked around the store.


    He also tried to pick up another Flintlock pistol, but he couldn''t.


    ''Only 1 is allowed, I guess...''


    He only saw swords, shields, bows, daggers in the wall, but Flintlock seemed to be the strongest gun.


    Isaac felt disappointed and shook his head.


    He left the store and started walking towards the armory.


    Maybe he can buy better armor.


    Shortly afterward, he arrived in the armory and saw the grumpy old man.


    He looked around the store and couldn''t find anything better than Iron.


    He decided to ask from the grumpy old man.


    ''''Excuse me.''''


    ''''What do you want?'''' The grumpy old man barked.


    ''''Is there better stuff than iron?''''


    The grumpy old man''s eyebrow twitched, ''''Is my collection not good enough for you?!''''


    ''''J-Just asking... I wanted to find some armor that would help me move easier and give me more protection... Iron armor doesn''t suit me well.'''' Isaac exined with a nervous look.


    ''''Then get lost! You are banned!'''' The grumpy old man shouted.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac was confused, but then he saw himself being teleported out of the store.


    ''''Ah...'''' Isaac eximed andnded on the ground.


    A message appeared in front of him.


    [Reputation with Grumpy Seller Karl has fallen!]


    [You are banned from Armory of Swornword!]


    ''''Y-You must be kidding me!'''' Isaac shouted, his eyebrow twitched.


    ''''Fuck...'''' Isaac stomped away with an angry look.


    ''''Doesn''t matter... I don''t need anything from there.''''


    Iron Armor is much stronger than leather armor, but it has weaknesses.


    Low speed and agility.


    He didn''t n to waste his speed, just to get more protection.


    ''''What should I do now...'''' Isaac murmured and looked around the street.


    He doesn''t have anything left to do except hunt monsters to level up.


    He can leave beginner vige after level 10, and there must be better stuff in the City.


    Isaac decided to leave the vige.


    He wasn''t nning to return before level 10.


    After he reaches level 10, he will sell his items and leave the Swornword for good.


    Isaac made up his mind.


    He soon arrived at the gates, and when he was about to leave...


    A voice interrupted him.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Server Update in 10 minutes!]


    [9:59...]


    [9:58...]


    ''''Server update?!'''' Isaac eximed.


    The other yers in the streets also got anxious and excited.


    ''''But the game has been online only a day... Why does it need an update?'''' Isaac kept thinking, but it must be for a good reason.


    ''''Interface.''''

    Isaac pressed [Log Out]


    His figure started turning into pixels, and soon he left the World of White once again.


    ...


    Isaac opened his eyes.


    He took his helmet off andzily stood up.


    He put the helmet back to the box and hid it in the wardrobe. After that, he grabbed hisptop and started surfing on the inte.


    He went towards the forums and saw everyone freaking about the update.


    ''''It can''t be a huge update...'''' Isaac murmured.


    He closed hisptop and left his room.


    His mother, Isabe was still cooking with other caretakers.


    It is something she enjoys doing.


    Isaac entered the kitchen and saw his mother cooking while humming a song.


    ''''Hey, mom,'''' Isaac said and sneakily went towards the refrigerator.


    ''''Ahaha, not happening,'''' Isabe said and grabbed Isaac from his shirt


    Isaac pouted and stood next to Isabe.


    ''''Why did you quit so soon?'''' Isabe asked gently.


    ''''An update ising,'''' Isaac replied.


    ''''Already?!'''' Isabe was shocked.


    Isaac raised an eyebrow, ''''Yes... What is it?''''


    ''''A-Ah... Nothing.'''' Isabe shook her head, ''Why is the update so soon... It was supposed toe 1 month after the release...''


    ''Suspicious.'' Isaac thought and left the kitchen.


    He sat on the couch and opened the TV.


    As expected, the News was all about the iing update.


    ''It can''t be a huge update... The game just got released... Overhyped.'' Isaac kept thinking.


    *Creak*


    The door to the mansion was opened, and a cute ck-haired girl entered.


    ''''Mom, is Isaac in upstairs?'''' Alice shouted.


    ''''No, he is in the living room!'''' Isabe shouted from the kitchen.


    Alice turned her head and locked gazes with Isaac.


    She smiled and walked towards him.


    She sat down on the couch next to Isaac.


    ''''I heard an update ising,'''' Alice said.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Indeed... But it must be a small update.''''


    Alice nodded, but then her face got anxious ''''I-I heard from ssmates that they saw you.''''


    ''''I went for a walk,'''' Isaac replied.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Alice hummed and nodded.


    She remembers the scene of her ssmates acting like they saw a god after seeing Isaac first time in a year.


    They also sneakily took pictures from him, but a certain group in her school called Cult of White said that taking pictures of him was sphemy!


    They had to remove the pictures, but they had to send the picture to the core members of Cult of White first before removing it.


    Currently, at the school, they are still kowtowing towards the picture of Isaac.


    ''''Isaac-sama... We miss you...'''' The members of Cult of White kept muttering after each kowtow.


    Alice gritted her teeth, ''Those creepy bitches... They dare to look at MY big brother''s picture with lustful eyes...''


    ''''I will go take a bath,'''' Alice said suddenly.


    ''''Mm.'''' Isaac nodded


    Alice stood up, and went towards the upstairs.


    Isaac shrugged it off and saw a countdown on the TV.


    Countdown until the servers are back up.


    [Countdown: 59:35...]


    [59:34...]


    ''''59 minutes....'''' Isaac murmured.

 Chapter 20 - Marvin.

    ''''Aah...'''' Alice moaned out of satisfaction after entering the bathtub.


    Her silky and smooth-looking skin was shown briefly underwater.


    But the bubbles floating on top of the water surface made her body slightly hidden.


    She looked at the bathroom wall, and the memories of the school day surfaced into her mind.


    In her memory, she saw her giggling ssmates who had flushed cheeks while gazing at the picture on the phone, like they wanted to devour it.


    She felt chills all over her body.


    ''Why is he so attractive... He will always get in trouble... He doesn''t understand the destructive power of his face...''


    Alice bit her soft-looking lip.


    ''He is defenseless while ying the game as well... I heard that you can do intimate things ingame if both parties are willing to... But if someone forces him!'' Her face went pale, but then she shook her head.


    ''My big brother is smart... He knows who to trust and who not... But... What if someone assaults his defenseless figure when he is ying! Maybe some of the caretakers who have taken fancy on him... He doesn''t know what happens outside world when he is ingame...''


    A lot of scenarios were going on in Alice''s mind.


    ''Maybe I should quit school and be his personal guard... No... My parents would never let me... Bothersome...''


    ''No... I should calm down... My dearest big brother probably quits the game after 1 week... His genius mind probably gets tired of that game soon... That would be good¡ª who knows if some vixen manages to seduce him. He should not marry anyone, and he should be my big brother forever...'' Alice nodded with a smile and left the bathtub.


    Her soft and beautiful body became visible, and her skin almost shined.


    She quickly washed the rest of her body, making her skin look mesmerizing.


    Her skin didn''t have any hair, it was like a perfect masterpiece. Smooth and unharmed.


    But Alice pouted while looking at her chest, which wasn''t as big as her sister''s and mothers.


    ''Those are only lumps of flesh...'' She thought, and wore her towel, and exited the bathroom.


    She quickly wore her outfit, which consisted of a long-sleeved shirt, and tight shorts, which made her thighs and butt more appetizing.


    She went to her cab, which was heavily locked.


    There were three normal locks and then a finger scanner.


    She put three different codes to the locks and put her tiny finger on the finger scanner.


    *nk*


    The cab was opened, and hundreds of pictures were stacked inside.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Alice pondered and grabbed a picture that showed Isaac smiling while ying with a kitten.


    ''''Aww...'''' Alice smiled and closed the cab.


    She lied down on the bed and looked at the cute picture.


    ...


    Half an hourter.


    Isaac''s dad and the rest of the siblings arrived at home.


    Isabe had already prepared the dinner.


    The table in the dining room was filled with exquisite foods, and in the ceiling, a chandelier illuminated the room.


    They all sat down on their chairs.


    Soon, Alice joined the dinner as well, she sat next to Isaac.


    Her cheeks were slightly flushed in pink.


    ''''Alice, why your cheeks are so flushed?'''' Sophia asked with furrowed brows.


    ''''I took a bath,'''' Alice replied and put her hands to praying gesture.


    ''''Thank you, Goddess of Snow, for blessing this meal,'''' Maxwell said and took the first bite of the food.


    20 minutester, they finished the dinner.


    Isaac looked at the clock and saw that the servers will be up in a few minutes.


    ''''Isaac, will you go back ingame?'''' Maxwell suddenly asked.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Yes, father.''''


    Maxwell nodded, ''''Good luck.''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac wasn''t sure why he said that, but he nodded.


    Maxwell watched as Isaac left the dining room.


    Rest of the children left as well, leaving only Maxwell and Isabe.


    ''''Why did the updatee early?'''' Isabe inquired.


    Maxwell sighed, ''''They say because more people started ying than expected... But that is a lie, they knew how popr this game will be... They sped up the update so that the world will change faster.''''


    ''''W-We weren''t prepared for it to happen so fast,'''' Isabe said with an anxious look.


    ''''It''s fine... I have four Legacy Contenders in mypany, we will be fine.''''


    Isabe sighed and nodded, ''''What about Isaac?''''


    ''''No need to worry about him... He is only a casual yer, if he was even slightly more serious, he might be able to fight against Legacy Contenders... But s... He doesn''t take this situation seriously.''''


    ''''He is still young... Since they were babies, the Legacy Contenders have been trained to be bearers of their Legacies.''''


    Maxwell sighed and lowered his head, ''''It''s all because I couldn''t decide faster... I thought that everything Legacy Company said was bullshit... But I was naive and ignorant.''''


    Isabe touched his hand tenderly, ''''It''s not your fault... Who could have expected that everything they said was correct... It was like a fairytale.''''


    Maxwell sighed and smiled, ''''To think... That the humans will be fighting against Gods.''''


    ...


    Isaac entered his room and looked at the clock.


    ''''Only 2 minutes...'''' He murmured, and grabbed his helmet from the wardrobe, and put it gently on the bed.


    *Knock*


    He turned his head towards the door where a knocking sound came.


    ''''Come in,'''' Isaac said.


    The door was opened by a young man with slightly longer brown hair and sharp eyebrows. He had a lean body with not much muscle. His looks were quite ordinary, with few unique features. Especially his ear piercings, making his look quite unique. He is Isaac''s big brother, Marvin.


    ''''Marvin?'''' Isaac smiled.


    Marvin smiled and hugged his little brother, ''''Isaac, I have great news.''''


    ''''What is it?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    ''''I have found him.''''


    ''''Found who?''''


    Marvin smirked, ''''The bastard who made you quit school.''''


    Isaac''s face went solemn, ''''Who is it?''''


    ''''Oliver,'''' Marvin said angrily.


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac was shocked, ''''B-But why!''''


    Marvin stopped hugging him and shook his head, ''''Not sure, but I am 100% sure that it is him!''''


    Isaac sat on the bed with a defeated look.


    ''''I can gather my friends, and we will visit his home. After today, he won''t be walking ever again.''''


    Isaac quickly shook his head, ''''No big brother!''''


    ''''But why?'''' Marvin asked with a frown.


    ''''I-It''s my revenge...'''' Isaac said with a shaky tone.


    He still couldn''t believe that Oliver was the culprit.


    Marvin sighed and nodded, ''''If you need help, I will be here for you.''''


    Isaac smiled and hugged him, ''''Thanks.''''


    Marvin smiled and nodded.


    He left the room, leaving Isaac alone with his thoughts.


    ''Oliver... Why...'' Isaac had tiny teardrops appearing in his eyes.


    But then...


    *DING* *DING*


    A dinging sound came from the VR Helmet.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac turned his head and saw the VR Helmet connecting.


    ''''Why did it connect?'''' Isaac was confused¡ª he grabbed the VR Helmet and saw texts in the visor.


    [Connecting...]


    [White Online - Update - Ready!]

 Chapter 21 - Legacy Tournament.

    [Connecting...]


    [White Online - Update - Ready!]


    Isaac wiped his tears and grabbed the VR Helmet.


    He lied down on the bed and put the VR Helmet on his head.


    He blinked, and the next thing he saw was him being surrounded by a snowyndscape.


    Hundreds of trees surrounded the area around him, no end in sight.


    ''''Where am I..?'''' Isaac thought aloud.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [New Update is Ready!]


    [Update Log:

    Isaac looked thoughtful, ''Friend list added... But howe I got it after receiving a friend request from those girls?''


    ''Dungeons...'' Isaac only cared about those two.


    He didn''t n getting party and didn''t n searching Unique sses either.


    He didn''t care about the buffs of different sses either, but the Assassin one made him worry more.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Suddenly a pair of dinging noises echoed in his ears.


    [Legacy Quest Received!]


    [You have been chosen by Mythical Figure to carry his Legacy with pride!]


    [ept/Reject]


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac shouted with shock.


    His voice echoed in the snowy forest.


    ''''Is this scam?''''


    Isaac scratched his head, ''''What the hell... Mythical Legacy? It seems too good to be real...''''


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [You have been chosen by Mythical Figure to carry his/her Legacy with pride!]


    [You are the third yer to be chosen!]


    [yer Wraith - Do you ept?]


    [ept/Reject]


    ''''Third?'''' Isaac tilted his head.


    ''There are others trying to get this legacy as well..?''


    Isaac was suspicious about this, but there was also a sound in his mind shouting that he doesn''t lose anything by epting.


    He is a casual yer after all, and dying doesn''t hurt Isaac that much.


    Isaac sighed and pressed the Interface.


    [You have epted!]


    [Mythical Figure is delighted with your decision!]


    [You are The Mythical Figure''s favorite!]


    [Don''t disappoint The Mythical Figure''s expectations!]


    [Legacy Tournament willmence in 1 week!]


    [6 days - 23 hours - 59 minutes]


    After those messages popped up, Isaac noticed the snowyndscape quickly disappearing.


    Isaac''s vision turned white once again, and once he opened his eyes, he noticed him standing near the vige''s gates.


    ''''Was... That a dream?'''' Isaac muttered, ''''Interface.''''

    ''''It wasn''t a dream...'''' Isaac murmured.


    He looked around him and saw every yer minding their own business while few yers were with their friends.


    ''I guess they weren''t there... Otherwise, they would be talking with other yers, trying to find out what it was... But Legacy Tournament, I thought you were supposed to find your own Legacy by adventuring the world... I guess I was mistaken.''


    He took another look at the Interface and closed it.


    He left the vige and took another nce at the vige.


    He isn''t nning toe back before level 10.


    ''1 week might be enough to reach level 10...'' Isaac was nning to grind his way to level 10, but that means he has to be more careful as well.


    Dying even once will have dire consequences.


    He might lose the Legacy Contender title, and he would like to see what it is.


    Isaac started running towards the forest with top speed, and only 10 minutester, he reached it.


    He ignored the low-level spawning points and went all the way to the level 7 hunting spot.


    ''''RAA!'''' He turned his head quickly and saw three Wild Wolfs approaching him.


    [Wild Wolf]


    [Level 7]


    [HP: 70/70]


    Three Wild Wolf''s with the same level and HP approached Isaac while baring their fangs.


    *SWOOSH*


    The first Wild Wolf appeared in front of Isaac and swung his ws.


    Isaac quickly sidestepped to the left and unleashed two rocks from his Slingshot.


    [-7 HP]


    [-9 HP]


    ''''Grr!'''' The Wild Wolf growled angrily.


    [HP 54/70]


    Isaac quickly ran towards a nearby tree and climbed to the top.


    But the Wild Wolf pushed the tree back and forth, and Isaac almost fell because of it.


    ''''Damn...'''' He quickly started shooting his slingshot.


    And soon, the first Wild Wolf died.


    [You Killed Wild Wolf!]


    [80 XP Earned!]


    ''''GRR!'''' The Wild Wolf became angrier, but after the first Wild Wolf died, it became much harder to make Isaac fall.


    And because of that, Isaac quickly killed the two wolves.


    [You Killed Wild Wolf!]


    [80 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Wild Wolf!]


    [80 XP Earned!]


    Isaac sighed and left the tree.


    He grabbed 3 Wild Wolf fangs from the ground and put them on the inventory.


    Then he checked his XP bar.


    [XP: 390/700]


    Isaac was satisfied¡ª he is sure that he will level 7 today.


    *SWOOSH*


    Isaac turned his head and saw a dagger approaching his face!


    He widened his eyes out of shock and quickly put his hand on the way.


    But the dagger pierced his arm.


    [You lost 22 HP!]


    Isaac grabbed the dagger and put it on his inventory.


    He quickly hid behind a nearby tree and took a deep breath.


    ''Where is he?!'' Isaac anxiously looked around the forest, but he saw no one.


    *Crack*


    Isaac widened his eyes and jumped towards the left.


    Three daggersnded on the ground he was in.


    Isaac quickly looked towards the tree and saw the outline of a person¡ª but it looked like he was invisible, but you can still slightly see him.


    ''Invisible..? Stealth?! Assassin!'' Isaac widened his eyes.


    The Assassin snorted and left the tree.


    He grabbed the three daggers and pointed one of his daggers towards Isaac.


    Isaac tried to find his attacker''s name, but he couldn''t see it.


    It means that Assassins have the ability to hide their nametag.


    The Assassin looked at the ''girl'' in front of him, ''She does have leather armor and only a slingshot... And she used the trees to kill the Wild Wolf''s, which must mean that she is terrible at close-quarterbats... Marksman, maybe?''


    Isaac did not know that the Assassin mistook him as a girl and wasn''t aware that Assassin was greatly underestimating him.


    ''He doesn''t know I have Flintlock pistol... I can win this!'' Isaac narrowed his eyes and grabbed his slingshot tighter.


    Assassins are extremely sneaky and terrifying opponents.


    But they aren''t best with close quarters either.


    They don''t havebat skills to do that because their special stat is Stealth, which is pretty useless in head-to-headbat.


    But, Isaac was curious why Assassin was Fighter ss without properbat power, that made him curious about Assassin and Thief ss.


    Both of them didn''t seem to have a lotbat strength, but some reason they were assigned as Fighter ss.


    The Assassin was confident in winning this fight¡ª he grabbed his dagger tightly and threw it towards Isaac with incredible speed.


    Isaac only saw his arm turn blurry, and soon item was flying towards him.


    Isaac aimed the slingshot towards the dagger, and a small rock left the rubberband, straight towards the iing dagger!


    *CLANK*


    The two objects collided in the air, and fell down to the ground.


    The Assassin was amazed of Isaac''s precision skills, ''How can he do that without being over level 10?! Did he spend all his stat points on Precision?!''

 Chapter 22 - Isaac’s Advantages.

    Isaac quickly put two more rocks on the rubberband and fired them!


    The Assassin with ease dodged.


    Isaac could see the outline of his opponent, but the Assassins figure was getting more clearer.


    Meaning that his Stealth is running out!


    Isaac quickly took a nce at his health bar.


    [HP: 43/65 - Leather Armor Effect!]


    He couldn''t see his opponent''s HP¡ª it must be hidden because of the Stealth.


    The Assassin started running with a speed that astonished Isaac.


    ''His agility must be over 40!'' Isaac anxiously thought and started shooting more Rock Bullets.


    The Assassin started moving with zigzag movement, and only a few secondster, he arrived in front of Isaac.


    ''''Miss, don''t hate me for this. Maybe we can go for a drink or two?'''' The Assassin said while his dagger was touching Isaac''s throat.


    ''He thinks I am a girl? What the fuck!'' Isaac cried out¡ª small sweatdrops started trickling down his face, which made his face even more beautiful and delicate.


    ''I can sweat in this game? This game feels so... Real.''


    The Assassin looked at his delicate face, ''''You are very beautiful, maybe we can be a party¡ª I will help you get into Level 10, I am currently Level 9, and there aren''t many who are stronger than me in Swornword.''''


    The Assassin''s Stealth finally disappeared, and Isaac could see his face.


    The Assassin was an average-looking male with a dark cloak over his head and a ck-colored outfit.


    He also saw his nametag.


    [ShadowCloak]


    [Level 9]


    [HP: 81/81 - Leather Armor Effect!]


    ''His clothes must be hiding his Armor... He is smart.'' Isaac gulped and felt the sharp edge of the dagger touching his soft skin.


    Even though you cannot experience pain in this game, for some reason, Isaac felt the sharpness of the de clearly.


    ''''Well, what is your answer?'''' ShadowCloak asked impatiently.


    Isaac dropped his slingshot and surrendered.


    ''''Good... I will send a party invite.'''' ShadowCloak said with slight excitement, he used his other hand to press the Inventory, but that was what Isaac wanted.


    He quickly opened his Inventory, grabbed the Flintlock pistol, and pressed the trigger.


    *BANG*


    ''''URGHH!'''' ShadowCloak stumbled backward, and there was a massive wound on his stomach.


    Some kind of blue liquid left the wound.


    ''''Y-You!'''' ShadowCloak angrily growled¡ª he looked at his Inventory and saw that his Stealth will work after 20 more seconds!


    And, a painful message popped up in front of him.


    [You Lost 65 HP!]


    [HP: 16/81 - Leather Armor Effect!]


    Isaac quickly put the Flintlock pistol back to the Inventory and grabbed the Slingshot from the ground.


    ShadowCloak was already running towards him with an enraged face.


    Isaac fired Rock Bullets towards him, but ShadowCloak parried the rocks with frightening uracy.


    ''''Shit!'''' Isaac quickly jumped backward, and ShadowCloak finally heard his voice.


    ''''Y-You are a boy?'''' He said with shock, and embarrassment was evident on his face.


    He was simping towards boy! His friends would never let him forget about this experience.


    Especially because his friends were watching the fight currently!


    In real life in his home.


    A small power cord connected the VR Helmet with the TV, which allows everyone to see the same things what ShadowCloak is seeing.


    And currently, three of his friends are looking at him ying because they don''t have VR Helmet yet.


    They were trying not tough, but it was getting more difficult with each passing second.


    ShadowCloak in the game had a red face, filled with anger and embarrassment.


    With anger, he rushed towards Isaac and quickly lowered Isaac''s HP.


    Isaac tried to dodge, but his agility wasn''t high enough to resist ShadowCloak''s rampage.


    [HP: 18/65 - Leather Armor Effect!]


    His arms were filled with wounds, and some kind of blue liquid left the wounds, staining the ground on blue dots.


    ShadowCloak''s feet contacted with Isaac''s stomach, which sent him flying.


    Isaac crashed on the nearby tree and saw his vision getting darker.


    [You Lost 15 HP!]


    [HP: 3/65 - Leather Armor Effect!]


    Isaac didn''t feel pain, but he felt like it was very difficult to breathe.


    He tried to use his arms to push himself up, but it felt like he didn''t have any strength left.


    ShadowCloak approached him with his dagger ready to strike.


    Isaac sighed and thought, ''My first death... I guess I will be stuck in the vige much longer...''


    But then, after those thoughts.


    Messages popped up in front of him.


    [The Mythical Figure is watching the match!]


    [The Mythical Figure tells you to use your wits and your advantages to win against all odds]


    ''My wits... Advantages...?'' Isaac kept thinking until finally, he thought about something.


    ''That''s it!'' He cried out in his mind.


    ShadowCloak appeared in front of him and pointed his dagger towards Isaac''s neck.


    ''''Final words, you bastard?'''' ShadowCloak said angrily¡ª he already knows that his friends will make fun of him.


    And that made him angry and frustrated.


    *Sniff*


    But out of nowhere...


    Isaac started crying.


    At least, he sounded like he was crying, but no tears came.


    ''''W-Why *Sob* Are you so mean?'''' Isaac turned his teary eyes towards ShadowCloak.


    He saw his innocent face and felt like a thousand arrows pierced his heart.


    ''No!'' ShadowCloak screamed and pped himself, ''Fuck, don''t get distracted.''


    Isaac quickly opened an Inventory and grabbed the dagger he stole from ShadowCloak.


    *STAB*


    He stabbed ShadowCloak''s leg with it, and soon the ShadowCloak''s HP went all the way down to zero.


    ''''W-Wait, Wha¡ª'''' He couldn''t finish his sentence until he turned into pixels.


    Isaac slumped down on the ground and took a deep breath.


    A messages popped up in front of him.

    Isaac sighed, ''''That was so embarrassing... I will never do that again... Bute one... Why everyone thinks I am a girl, maybe I really should build more muscle.''''


    With those thoughts, Isaac stayed on the ground for another 10 minutes until his HP got restored.

 Chapter 23 - Solo Dungeon.

    In Real Life.


    A door to Isaac''s room was opened, and a cute ck-haired girl entered.


    She looked sneakily around the room.


    ''Need to make sure there aren''t hidden cameras!'' With those thoughts, Alice searched the bedroom and the bathroom.


    She didn''t find any cameras¡ª she could finally sigh in relief.


    Alice was about to leave the room, but then she saw Isaac''s body lying on the bed... Without protection while he was ying White Online.


    ''Well... I cannot trust anyone.'' Alice sneakily lied down on the bed and watched Isaac''s innocent face underneath the visor.


    She touched his soft skin and yed around with his cheeks.


    Alice came here to protect Isaac from others, but she isn''t aware... That she is the most dangerous one.


    Her face was flushed in pink, and her breathing got rough, ''His cheeks... Look so tasty.'' She licked her lips but managed to control her desire to lick his cheeks... For now.


    ...


    Sophia was sitting on her bed while a fancy pink-coloredptop was on herp.


    Her room was very spacious with arge bed, her own bathroom, and a balcony. There was also a wardrobe, which was muchrger than Isaac''s, and walls filled with posters of different celebrities.


    A face popped up on theptop.


    A gorgeous young woman in her 18s appeared on the screen. She had beautiful white hair with delicate-looking eyebrows, long eyshes, and a pointy nose. Her face looked innocent, but her body was far from it.


    On the screen, she was wearing her nightgown, but her ample breasts almost bulged out, and her cleavage covered half of the screen.


    ''''Sophia.'''' The young woman said with her cute tone.


    ''''Amelia,'''' Sophia said with a smile.


    Amelia moved herptop for a morefortable position, ''''How are you doing?''''


    ''''Fine...'''' Sophia said quietly.


    ''''What''s wrong?'''' Amelia said with a tilted head.


    ''''I talked to Isaac about you wanting to meet him,'''' Sophia said with an upset face.


    ''''Oh...'''' Amelia''s face turned sad, but also hopeful, ''''W-What did he say?''''


    ''''He doesn''t want to see you...'''' Sophia said and averted her gaze.


    She didn''t want to see Amelia''s crying face.


    *Sniff*


    Tears left Amelia''s eyes like a waterfall.


    The teardrops dropped down to her breasts and started trickling down her cleavage.


    ''''I-I understand...'''' Amelia wiped her tears, but her sobbing tone was still present.


    ''''I am sorry... I tried.'''' Sophia said with a sorry look.


    Amelia shook her head, ''''It''s fine... It was a selfish request... I-I just... Want him to know that I am sorry... And that... I love him.'''' After those words, the screen went ck, and Amelia disconnected from the call.


    *Bam*


    Sophia closed theptop with a bam and looked at the ceiling with a frustrated look.


    ...


    Isaac looked around the items ShadowCloak dropped.


    There were 3 daggers and Leather Armor.


    He didn''t drop the dark cloak, and he didn''t drop all the daggers.


    But, now Isaac has gathered 3 Wild Wolf Fangs, 4 daggers, and Leather Armor.


    It could give him a good amount of White Coins.


    Isaac didn''t n to return to the vige, he is far from Level 10, and he needs to grind as much as possible.


    He walked deeper into the woods, and after 10 minutes, he still didn''t find any wild animals.


    But after 5 more minutes... He saw an interesting sight.


    Over a dozen yers were standing in front of some kind of cave...


    Isaac was confused, but then messages popped up in front of him.


    [Solo Dungeon Swornword!]


    [Max yers: 1]


    [Difficulty: Easy]


    [Completed: 0/100]


    Isaac was surprised and didn''t notice a twig in front of him.


    *Crack*


    The twig broke under his weight, which caused everyone to turn their heads towards the beautiful individual.


    Isaac sighed and walked out of the woods.


    The area around the cave was very spacious, with no wild animals in sight.


    The yers looked at him with questioning gazes.


    They only saw his nametag floating, and they had never seen this beautiful individual before in the vige.


    ''''Wraith... It is you!'''' He heard thrilled voice.


    Isaac turned his head and saw three beautiful figures waving towards him.


    The three beautiful figures was obviously the main attraction of this ce.


    All of the yers took sneak nces towards them, and some of them even tried to flirt with them but got rejected rtively quickly.


    Isaac recognized them.


    [Hellsky]


    [WinterLove]


    [SnowMaiden]


    Their Levels were hidden.


    Their eyes instantly brightened after seeing Wraith appearing, who looks even cuter than before when they saw him in the vige.


    Isaac walked towards them under the intense gazes of others.


    As usual.


    Everyone mistook Isaac as a girl, so they didn''t mind him walking towards the three beautiful girls.


    Instead, they received more eye candy to look at.


    Hellsky was a beautiful young woman with short blond hair and sky blue eyes. She was wearing a short skirt which left her legs wide open, and leather armor covered her petite body.


    WinterLove had long ck hair with delicate-looking eyebrows, grey eyes, and smooth-looking skin. She was also wearing a skirt, with kneesocks reaching from her feet, all the way up to her knees. Leather Armor also covered her petite but also beautiful figure.


    SnowMaiden was an innocent-looking girl with long silver hair with a shy look on her adorable face. Everything about her was attractive, her gentle smile, delicate eyebrows, bright blue eyes, above-average sized breasts, and smooth-looking legs.


    They were sitting on top of a tree trunk, and Hellsky was motioning for Isaac toe closer.


    Every yer in front of the cave tried desperately to see their underwear, but the three girls had their legs tightly shut, and they felt incredibly disgusted by their stares.


    Isaac appeared in front of them, and they made enough space for him to sit down.


    He sat down next to SnowMaiden, who had a gentle smile on her face.


    ''''Hey...'''' She whispered shyly.


    Isaac smiled and nodded.


    His smile made the three girls blush.


    ''''By the way, why is everyone here?'''' Isaac whispered.


    yers in front of the cave didn''t hear what they were talking about, but they tried to eavesdrop desperately.


    ''''Solo Dungeon, they are debating who should be first to try, apparently the one who clears it will get massive rewards!'''' Hellsky said with an excited look on her beautiful face.


    Isaac nodded and looked curiously towards the cave.


    The update patch said that Dungeons are added.


    But he didn''t expect the Dungeons to appear so soon.

 Chapter 24 - Obsession.

    ''''Alright, everyone!'''' A masculine voice came from a muscr man in front of the cave.


    [Kornelius]


    A nametag floated above the muscr man with full iron armor, an iron sword, and an iron shield.


    Isaac recognized him.


    He saw him in the Weapon Store once.


    Everyone went quiet and waited for Kornelius'' words.


    Few of the yers present has seen Kornelius fighting, and they definitely don''t want to be his enemy.


    Kornelius nodded after getting everyone''s attention, ''''I know all of you want to be the first one to try the Solo Dungeon.''''


    Most of the yers nodded.


    They can''t risk anyone else getting the First Clear.


    ''''But there are dozen of us, and only one can... So I have a suggestion.'''' Kornelius said and stopped talking for a moment to let his words sink in.


    Everyone waited for Kornelius'' following words.


    ''''It''s a simple suggestion, we will vote, and the person who gets most votes will be the first one to enter, and you cannot vote for yourself,'''' Kornelius said with his stoic voice.


    The yers nodded and thought that it was a good idea.


    Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden started discussing with each other who to vote.


    While Isaac grimaced.


    ''Sneaky... He has friends around the ce, doesn''t he...'' Isaac narrowed his eyes.


    Isaac thinks that Kornelius suggested this because he has friends and allies voting for him.


    So he is confident that Kornelius will win the vote.


    ''''Wraith, we decided to vote for Hellsky¡ª who are you voting for?'''' SnowMaiden asked innocently.


    ''''I will vote for her too,'''' Isaac replied.


    SnowMaiden smiled, ''''Thank you.''''


    ''''Alright!'''' Kornelius pped his hands.


    ''''Make a line and tell your vote!''''


    The yers did a line in front of Kornelius.


    Hellsky, Isaac, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden was in the middle of the line.


    ''''I will give my vote first,'''' Kornelius said and used his sword to write in the cave wall.


    He wrote [LucasKulo]


    The first yer in the line was a yer with that name, but he didn''t look surprised by his decision.


    ''''Alright, next!'''' Kornelius shouted.


    LucasKulo appeared in front of him and said, ''''Kornelius.''''


    Kornelius nodded and wrote Kornelius and one line next to it.


    The second person came and said, ''''Hellsky.''''


    Kornelius didn''t change his expression¡ª he wrote Hellsky and one line next to it.


    That second person stepped aside and took a look towards Hellsky and hoped that she noticed him.


    But her attention wasn''t on him¡ª instead, she was talking with Isaac and the rest.


    The third person walked towards Kornelius and said, ''''Kornelius.''''


    It went back and forth, and soon it was Hellsky''s turn.


    The score was currently Kornelius 7 and Hellsky 6.


    ''''Wraith,'''' Hellsky said with a smile.


    Kornelius wrote another name and added one line.


    Hellsky left the line and winked towards Isaac.


    Isaac smiled, even though he won''t win the vote no matter what he does.


    WinterLove was the next one, and she, of course said, ''''Hellsky.''''


    SnowMaiden after her did it as well.


    And then finally was Isaac''s turn.


    Kornelius looked at him, and he thought it was strange for Isaac''s skin to be so spotless... Even Hellsky and others had their faces slightly dirtied because of the fighting, but Isaac''s face is almost shining.


    ''''Hellsky,'''' Isaac said.


    Kornelius was brought of his stupor and was shocked hearing his voice.


    ''He is a boy?! What kind of sorcery is this?'' Kornelius with a shaky hand, added one more vote for Hellsky.


    Score was now Kornelius 7, Hellsky 9.


    Only 3 yers were left.


    Isaac walked next to Hellsky and crossed his arms.


    ''Three votes for Kornelius...'' Isaac thought with narrowed eyes.


    The first person said with a smile, ''''Kornelius.''''


    Kornelius put one more line next to his name.


    The second person appeared in front of him and said, ''''Kornelius.''''


    Another line.


    And finally, the third person said smugly, ''''Kornelius.''''


    Kornelius put another vote next to his name with a smile.


    ''''Voting is over¡ªe here to see the results!'''' Kornelius shouted and stepped aside.


    Everyone went to see and saw that Kornelius had 10 votes and Hellsky 9.


    ''''I guess I am the first one, any objections?'''' Kornelius asked.


    Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden sighed and went to sit in their previous spots.


    All the yers nodded their heads and stepped aside.


    The cave was now wide open.


    The cave was pitch ck, and the sound of the wind was blowing.


    It looked very creepy, but Kornelius didn''t look afraid.


    ''This is only easy Dungeon... The First Clear will be mine!''


    Kornelius grabbed his shield and sword tighter and entered the cave.


    A message popped up in front of everyone.


    [yer Kornelius Has Entered Solo Dungeon Swornword!]


    [Max yers: 1]


    [Completed: 0/100]


    [Difficulty: Easy]


    Isaac sat next to SnowMaiden, and sighed, ''I wouldn''t have gone first... Way too risky, but I guess greed blinded Kornelius... He seemed smart man, but maybe he has enough confidence in his strength to clear the Solo Dungeon.''''


    ''''Wraith, I must ask you, what kind of skincare products do you use?'''' Hellsky asked curiously.


    She is envious of Isaac''s perfect skin.


    WinterLove''s and SnowMaiden''s eyes sparkled¡ª they wanted to know as well!


    ''''None,'''' Isaac replied¡ª he has never used and never will.


    He thinks that it''s way too girly to use one, and he doesn''t want to look like a girl.


    ''''What?!'''' They eximed, and they felt even more envious.


    SnowMaiden touched Isaac''s cheek and giggled, ''''Soft.''''


    ''''Is it?'''' Hellsky got curious and went to the other side of Isaac and touched his cheek.


    ''''So soft...'''' She used both of her hands to feel Isaac''s cheeks.


    WinterLove appeared in front of Isaac and started touching his skin as well.


    Now Isaac''s cheeks was assaulted by three beautiful women. Was he enjoying this?


    No.


    He puffed his cheeks which made him look even more adorable.


    The three girls licked their lips and felt something... Dangerous awakening in them...


    A look of obsession was recing their gentle eyes.


    ''''That''s enough,'''' Isaac said and took their hands away.


    They looked disappointed, but they felt even more obsessed now.


    ''''U-Umm, girls, a talk?'''' Hellsky said with rough breathing.


    SnowMaiden and WinterLove followed behind her with blushing faces.


    Isaac was rubbing his painful cheeks, ''''Oww....''''

 Chapter 25 - Isaac’s Trickery.

    ''''He is adorable!'''' Hellsky let out a girlish scream¡ª they were hiding behind a tree, dozen meters away from Isaac''


    WinterLove bit her nails, ''''This is bad...''''


    SnowMaiden was crouching and hiding her blushing face.


    ''''Girls...'''' Hellsky crouched and looked at them in the eye.


    WinterLove and SnowMaiden listened closely.


    ''''I think the reason why we were chosen as Beta Testers was to protect Wraith''s innocence,'''' Hellsky said with a serious look on her beautiful face.


    WinterLove and SnowMaiden nodded.


    They were chosen as Beta Testers by the creator of White Online, Arthur Welhenheim!


    These three girls are Legacy Contenders from Coldshow, and they were chosen as Beta Testers to get a lead on everyone else.


    But the reason why they haven''t left Swornword yet... It was because of the Solo Dungeon.


    They already heard that the Update wille early and that Solo Dungeons will appear.


    But some stronger Beta Testers instantly left the vige and tried their luck on the Starter City''s Dungeon, which is much harder!


    And the reason why they had Friend List and Party before everyone else was because they were Beta Testers!


    Their ount was simr to what they had in the Beta Testing phase, only the level and stats got reduced all the way to 0.


    ''''This is our destiny... Let''s not betray God''s expectations!'''' Hellsky said cheerfully.


    ''''Yea!'''' WinterLove and SnowMaiden cheered at the same time.


    Because they touched Isaac''s cheeks.


    The destiny of the World started shifting in an unknown direction.


    They left their hiding spot and walked towards Isaac with blushing faces.


    Hellsky was about to sit next to Isaac, but then SnowMaiden put her arm in the way.


    ''''What is the meaning of this?'''' Hellsky narrowed her eyes.


    ''''It''s my spot,'''' SnowMaiden said with her cute tone, but her facial expression was far from cute.


    ''''Your spot? What are you, a child?'''' Hellsky said with an innocent giggle.


    SnowMaiden covered her mouth and giggled, ''''At least I am not an old hag like you.''''


    Hellsky''s eyebrow twitched, ''''Is that so...''''


    ''''Hey.'''' WinterLove sat next to Isaac and said with a beautiful smile.


    ''''Oh, hey,'''' Isaac replied, who was quite confused after Hellsky and SnowMaiden started arguing out of nowhere.


    They seemed really good friends, so this was unexpected.


    Hellsky and SnowMaiden pouted and looked at WinterLove with angry faces.


    WinterLove innocently smiled and moved her body closer towards Isaac.


    SnowMaiden sat next to WinterLove and kept a close eye on her.


    Hellsky sat next to SnowMaiden and started sulking.


    *DING*


    Suddenly a loud dinging noise came from the dungeon.


    Everyone turned their heads towards the cave, and then messages popped up.


    [yer Kornelius Has Failed!]


    [Solo Dungeon Swornword]


    [Max yers: 1]


    [Completeled: 0/100]


    [Difficulty: Easy]


    ''''H-He failed?!'''' Hellsky eximed.


    The yers in front of the cave grew noisy.


    Kornelius'' friends couldn''t believe it!


    Kornelius was Level 10! But now he will be demoted all the way to Level 5!


    Isaac became thoughtful, ''Kornelius was definitely at least Level 9... I don''t think Level 10 strength is far from it, and he still failed... This forest''s level limit is 10, so it shouldn''t be impossible to be cleared...''


    The yers got anxious.


    Now, none of them wanted to go first because most of them knew how strong Kornelius was.


    It wouldn''t be farfetched to say that he can fight with level 11 and 12 yers.


    And Kornelius was Level 10, which means that he got his first skill!


    Level 10 is when you get the first skill, and the difference will be huge between Level 9 and Level 10.


    Isaac didn''t know that.


    Overall strength is quite simr, but the first skill makes Level 10 yers much stronger.


    Kornelius'' friends left the area¡ª they don''t need to get Kornelius'' stuff from the Dungeon because he has enough White Coins to buy more sets, but the level loss will hurt, and he will be behind other yers by a lot!


    This wasn''t on Kornelius'' ns.


    He nned to make Guild with his friends, and he would be the Guildmaster because he thinks that hisbat strength isn''t far from pro yers, so they could earn a lot of reputation and new members quickly.


    But now that Kornelius died, he might never be able to catch up to the top yers!


    There were still some yers left in the area.


    Most of them thought that Kornelius was weak because they haven''t seen him fight.


    They eyed each other, there wasn''t anyone who could take the lead, so this confrontation will end up in catastrophe.


    Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden stood in front of Isaac.


    They nned to protect him from these filthy animals!


    ''Dirty insects... Your presence might taint his innocence... My de thirsts for blood!'' Hellsky had a scary look on her face.


    She unsheathed her dagger¡ª Her ss is Assassin.


    WinterLove narrowed her eyes and unsheathed her sword.


    She is a Swordswoman, a female version of Swordsman.


    SnowMaiden took a blue-colored cane from her Inventory. She is a Priest, and in the future she could even get healing spells, which could help her two friends.


    The yers unsheathed their weapons and prepared for battle.


    It seems like the battle is inevitable at this moment.


    ''''Wait!'''' But then, out of nowhere, a shout was heard.


    Everyone turned their heads towards Isaac, and most of them were shocked hearing his voice.


    They all widened their eyes in shock¡ª that beautiful individual was actually a boy!


    Isaac stood up and said calmly, ''''We can talk this through¡ª no need to fight.''''


    ''''Like how, another vote?'''' A yer said with a frown.


    Isaac shook his head, ''''That would be not fair. We can do a small game and decide who goes first and who after.''''


    The yers looked at each other and nodded.


    But they didn''t lower their guards.


    Isaac took a rock from his pouch and put it on the ground.


    He gave everyone one pair of rocks, and then he said, ''''The one who manages to throw it closest to the rock will go first.''''


    Everyone nodded their heads.


    Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden stood next to Isaac like they were his bodyguards.


    Everyone did a small line and started throwing their own rocks.


    Isaac actually did the same trick as Kornelius.


    The yers didn''t know what ss most of them had, and no one saw any Shooter sses around, so they thought that its fair game.


    But it wasn''t.


    Isaac never revealed his ss, but he is Marksman with special stat Precision.


    This game is incredibly advantageous for Isaac.


    The reason he did this was to end this useless fighting, and he wasn''t confident in surviving the battle, and he was worried about Hellsky and others dying as well.


    This was the easiest solution, and Isaac wanted to go check out the Dungeon... He might die... But if he doesn''t.... He might reach Level 10 without even realizing it.

 Chapter 26 - Pearl Of Resurrection.

    The yers kept throwing rocks, and one of the yers got the rock very close to the rock they were aiming at!


    He was pretty confident that he will win this¡ª that''s why he smugly looked at others.


    Which was an idiotic move because if he wins... No one will be happy about it and might not ept it.


    Isaac shook his head with disappointment.


    Why did that yer have to make others hate him?


    ''Idiot!'' Isaac cried out in his mind.


    Next was Hellsky''s turn to throw, and since she was an assassin, it might be easier for her than for others, but she wasn''t obviously very good at throwing and threw way too far.


    ''''Hah.'''' The arrogant yer snorted with disdain.


    Hellsky red at him and wanted to dig her dagger so deep in his ass that he mig¡ª


    *Cough*


    Next was WinterLove''s turn.


    Her throw was better but still far from the rock.


    She sadly smiled and stood aside.


    SnowMaiden was next¡ª she kissed the rock, ''This rock has been touched by Wraith, give me your power!''


    It might have been her hallucination, but she thought that the rock glowed because she mentioned Wraith''s name.


    She threw the rock, and itnded very close to where it was supposed to, but not close enough.


    ''''Heh.'''' The arrogant yer was now certain that he won.


    He looked with disdain towards Isaac and saw his skinny arms.


    He thought that he might not be able to even throw the rock!


    ''''Wraith, you can do it!'''' Hellsky cheered loudly with SnowMaiden and WinterLove.


    Now that Wraith has proven to be a guy, everyone got jealous of the attention he gets from the opposite sex.


    Isaac took a deep breath.


    If he wanted to win this.


    He has to hit the rock, which is a difficult feat, but not for him.


    His arm didn''t tremble or shake¡ª it was perfectly stabilized, and soon... He threw the rock, and it started flying straight towards the rock in the ground!


    *nk*


    Isaac''s rock hit it perfectly! It evennded next to the rock¡ª he was the clear winner!


    ''''WOHOOOOOOOO!'''' Hellsky, SnowMaiden, and WinterLove cheered loudly.


    The arrogant yer was shocked¡ª he pointed his shaky finger towards Isaac and shouted, ''''Y-YOU CHEATED! YOU ARE SHOOTER CLASS!''''


    Everyone went silent.


    The male yers looked towards Isaac and crossed their arms.


    ''''Shut up ugly, you say that because you are jealous!'''' Hellsky fought back.


    The arrogant yer snorted, ''''He obviously cheated.'''' He pointed his finger towards Isaac and shouted, ''''Show us your weapon!''''


    Everyone turned their gaze towards Isaac.


    The male yers looked serious.


    Hellsky, SnowMaiden, and WinterLove didn''t care if Isaac was shooter ss¡ª they got angry because they dared to shout at him!


    Isaac shrugged and took a dagger from his inventory.


    ''''I am an assassin.'''' Isaac said with an innocent smile.


    The arrogant yer widened his eyes in shock.


    The male yers sighed and shook their heads.


    They were mistaken, after all.


    ''''See, get the fuck out!'''' Hellsky pointed her dagger towards the arrogant yer.


    The arrogant yer''s face was flushed in embarrassment.


    He red towards Isaac and promised to get his revenge!


    He turned around and walked away¡ª he ns to gather a few of his friends and show Isaac what happens when he gets too cocky!


    Isaac put his dagger back to the Inventory.


    ''Good thing that I didn''t go sell the daggers...'' Isaac thought.


    ''''Wraith... Are you sure you want to go to the dungeon?'''' Hellsky said with worry.


    Now everyone remembered that the game was to choose who goes first!


    They all looked at Isaac, and they were confident that he was not high level.


    He had leather armor, and for some reason, he had two pouches on his waist¡ª for aesthetics perhaps, it made him look more experienced yer.


    But, Isaac looked very weak.


    Isaac nodded his head and smiled, ''''I am sure.''''


    Hellsky took an item from the Inventory and put it on Isaac''s hand.


    ''''Take this.'''' She said with a serious look.


    Isaac looked at the item and gasped.


    [Pearl of Resurrection!]


    [Uses Left: 1]


    [Description: You will be able to resurrect instantly without any penalties!]


    The Pearl of Resurrection was small green-colored marble. It was shining when the sunlight touched it.


    ''''I-I can''t take this,'''' Isaac said with a shaky tone and offered the pearl back, but Hellsky hugged his body tightly.


    ''''Be safe,'''' Hellsky said and sniffed his scent.


    She blushed and took a quick step backward.


    Isaac looked at the pearl and put it on his Inventory.


    ''''I won''t forget this,'''' Isaac said seriously.


    Hellsky innocent waved her hand, ''''It''s fine... But I-I might have few requests in the future.'''' She shyly twirled her hair.


    SnowMaiden and WinterLove narrowed their eyes.


    ''Shameless!''


    Isaac nodded, ''''I hope I can fulfill your requests in the future.'''' He started walking towards the dungeon.


    He took onest look towards the three beautiful girls and entered the dungeon.


    Hellsky sighed, and she felt lonely already.


    ''''I miss him already,'''' Hellsky said with a sad face.


    ''''Me too...'''' SnowMaiden and WinterLove said with quiet voices.


    ''''W-What requests were you talking about?'''' SnowMaiden asked with a shy tone¡ª her cheeks was dyed in pink.


    Hellsky shyly smiled, ''''Not telling you!''''


    ''''Come on!'''' SnowMaiden pouted.


    ''''Hehe!'''' Hellsky giggled.


    The resurrection pearl was an incredibly valuable treasure, and she gave it to Isaac for a few reasons.


    First, she didn''t want Isaac to suffer from the death penalty.


    Second, she can now have him do a few requests...


    Hellsky started daydreaming about the requests she could ask him to do.


    ''Maybe crossdressing..? O-Or maybe... S-Something lewd?'' Hellsky covered her face, ''Kyaa! I am so naughty!''


    SnowMaiden and WinterLove looked at her with dead-looking eyes.


    ''''H-Hey, d-do you guys want to be part of our party perhaps?'''' A handsome blond-haired young man asked.


    There were three other individuals behind him, and they were quite attractive.


    Hellsky red at him, ''''Not in a million years.''''


    ''''Maybe if you had white hair,'''' SnowMaiden said innocently.


    ''''Maybe if your name was Wraith,'''' WinterLove said innocently.


    ''''O-Oh....'''' The handsome young man instantly left with a defeated look.

 Chapter 27 - Doors.

    [Wee to Solo Dungeon Swornword!]


    Isaac saw a message popping up in front of him.


    Outside of the cave, they saw nothing but darkness.


    But now... The cave was lit up, and Isaac could clearly see the interior of the dungeon.


    The walls were brown, and smallnterns were hanging from the ceiling.


    He turned around and saw a stone wall blocking his path... Meaning that he can''t leave.


    He turned his head around and saw the end of the corridor and a room not far from him.


    Isaac took his Flintlock from the Inventory and carefully walked forwards.


    Soon, he entered the spacious room.


    Small blue-colored crystals were hanging from the ceiling, illuminating the room in cozy blue color.


    Isaac turned his gaze away and looked in front of him...


    There were three doors.


    Three wooden doors and each one of them had a different letter.


    The first door had the letter G.


    The second door had the letter D.


    And the third door had the letter O.


    ''''GDO?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac pondered and started changing the order of the letters.


    ''''Dog... God...''''


    ''''No matter what order of the letters is... Only one of those letters can be in the correct spot...'''' Isaac turned his head towards the first door with the letter G.


    He isn''t sure if this is luck-based.


    But he decided to open the first door.


    *Creak*


    The door creaked menacingly, and cold air assaulted Isaac''s figure.


    ''''C-Cold...'''' Isaac''s delicate body trembled.


    Isaac quickly closed the door.


    He went to the second door and tried to open it but couldn''t.


    He couldn''t open the third door either.


    He went back to the first door and tried to open it.


    This time, the door opened.


    The cold air again assaulted Isaac''s nerve system, but he knew that he needed to go there!


    Isaac could feel his breathing getting faster, which isn''t good.


    ''I might start hyperventting! H-How can I feel cold when I can''t feel pain... This world is getting more mysterious every day.''


    Isaac started taking breaths whichsted at least 12 seconds.


    This way the chances of him hyperventting and dropping unconscious is decreasing greatly.


    He took one step towards the cold corridor, and instantly the door behind him mmed shut.


    Isaac started moving his shoulders up and down, trying to warm himself up, and he started rubbing his hands on his torso.


    He still felt cold, but this time he wasn''t ice cold.


    Isaac quickly started walking¡ª he didn''t dare to run because there might be traps ahead.


    Isaac did put his Flintlock on the Inventory because he isn''t sure is it possible for the Flintlock pistol to freeze and malfunction.


    He walked for another 2 minutes, and his white hair was starting to freeze!


    But luckily, he saw the end of the corridor soon.


    After he exited the corridor, the cold weather disappeared.


    ''''Ahh... Huff...'''' Isaac took deep breaths and moved his hands around his body.


    Trying to warm his body even slightly.


    *SWOOSH*


    But then, the door he entered was lit in multiple colors!


    Isaac turned his head towards the ceiling and saw hundreds of crystals! All different colors.


    The crystals warmed the room enough so that Isaac''s freezing body became normal.


    Isaac could finally concentrate.


    This room has now 4 doors!


    The first door had the letter Y.


    The second door had the letter H.


    The third door had the letter T.


    The fourth door had the letter M.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac changed the letter orders and only got one word.


    ''''Myth...'''' Isaac murmured and turned his head towards the third door.


    He gulped and opened the third door.


    This time... The corridor was silent... Very silent...


    It wasn''t cold or hot.


    Isaac entered the corridor, and once again, the door behind him mmed shut.


    Isaac took his Flintlock pistol and started walking forwards.


    He walked very slowly, and soon he saw the exit of the corridor.


    Isaac felt like something was amiss, but he kept walking.


    He walked for another 10 seconds and reached the end of the corridor.


    When he was about to take a step to the room... He stopped!


    Isaac quickly took his leg back.


    The room was very silent... But Isaac didn''t see any doors in the room!


    ''Did I choose wrong? Damn!'' Isaac grimaced.


    Isaac took a rock from his pouch and threw it towards the room.


    When the rock touched the ground... It turned into ashes!


    Isaac gritted his teeth¡ª he turned around and was about to walk away.


    But then...


    He heard a noiseing from the corridor he came from!


    It was like something was rolling towards him!


    Isaac narrowed his eyes and saw a giant boulder rolling towards him!


    Isaac widened his eyes¡ª he quickly turned his head towards the room and started thinking.


    His brilliant mind thought hundreds of different conclusions, but all of them ended in death.


    The boulder was now only 100 meters away from him.


    Isaac peeked from the corridor and looked around the room.


    He saw nothing to use to climb... But he remembered something which could help him survive!


    Isaac put his Flintlock back on the Inventory and took a pair of daggers!


    *STAB*


    *STAB*


    He stabbed the room''s walls with the two daggers.


    Now the daggers des were deeply in stuck on the wall.


    Isaac put his two feet on them and started standing on top of the two daggers!


    He was now in the room, while the two daggers could barely hold his weight!


    *SWOOSH*


    *CRASH*


    The boulder left the corridor and crashed on the wall, which should have the doors in the others room, but not on this one.


    Isaac was grabbing the wall with his frail-looking hands, and he could feel the daggers slipping!


    But he didn''t notice... That after a boulder hit the wall, the grey-colored ground turned brown.


    ''''N-No!'''' Isaac fell down on the ground after his feet slipped.


    He was expecting to turn into ashes... But nothing happened.


    Isaac turned his head towards the ground and saw that it had changed colors!


    He grabbed the two daggers from the ground and stood up with a rapid heartbeat.


    But then, he saw the wall where the boulder crashed onto!


    The wall had a massive hole and in front of that was the destroyed boulder.


    But the destroyed wall showed a corridor!


    Isaac put the daggers back on the Inventory and entered the mysterious corridor.


    The destroyed wall behind him quickly got restored, and the brown floor became grey once again...


    Isaac didn''t notice that there were other stab signs on the wall... Someone else has used the same trick as Isaac!


    And someone.... Made this far!

 Chapter 28 - God Of Mischief.

    Isaac was holding his Flintlock, and he had already walked for 30 minutes!


    The corridor had no end in sight!


    But after 10 minutes, he finally saw the light!


    His face became serious.


    He walked carefully, but then an unexpected message popped up!


    [Mythical Figure Can''t Locate You!]


    [Mythical Figure tells you to be extremely careful!]


    Isaac had a bad feeling about this.


    He exited the corridor and saw two figures waiting for him...


    The first figure was a muscr man with iron armor, shield, and a sword.


    A nametag floated above him [Kornelius]


    The second figure was a skinny young man with ck hair, long bangs which covered his left eye, and a silly grin on his average face.


    The room was beautifully lit in golden crystals, and the ground was silver-colored!


    ''''Kornelius?! Didn''t you die?'''' Isaac asked with shock.


    ''''Die? I see now.'''' Kornelius snorted and looked towards the ck-haired young man.


    Isaac could finally see the nametag of the ck-haired young man.


    [Loki - The God of Mischief]


    ''God?!'' Isaac eximed in his mind.


    ''''Come here, cutie.'''' Loki pointed to the spot in front of him.


    Isaac gulped and stood next to Kornelius.


    ''''Excellent, now we have two! The fun can begin!'''' Loki grinned and swung his green-colored umbre around him.


    Two messages popped up.


    One in front of Kornelius.


    One in front of Isaac.


    [Battle of Wits!]


    [The winner of Battle of Wits will receive the Godly Legacy of Loki, The God of Mischief!]


    ''''What?!'''' Kornelius and Isaac eximed.


    Loki grinned and tapped the ground a few times with his umbre.


    ''''You can''t reject. Only one of you will survive!'''' Loki chirped.


    Kornelius turned serious¡ª he instantly swung his sword towards Isaac''s neck!


    Isaac wasn''t prepared, he tried to put his hands in front of him, but someone else was faster.


    Loki put his umbre in the way and effortlessly blocked Kornelius'' sword sh.


    ''''Enough!'''' Loki shouted, anger was visible on his face, ''''You brute!''''


    Kornelius paled¡ª he bowed and put his sword back to the sheath.


    ''''Not everything is about violence!'''' Loki shouted, and then he grinned, ''''It is called Battle of Wits for a reason. Only the smarter one will receive my Legacy!''''


    Kornelius red at Isaac.


    ''This Legacy is mine... This is my ticket to wealth and stardom!'' Kornelius clenched his fist powerfully.


    This is something he cannot miss!


    If he doesn''t get this Legacy, he might never find another one!


    And it was a Godly Legacy!


    Isaac was calmer. He thought about is this real Legacy or simr with Untrustworthy Swordsman.


    He still doesn''t know that it was actually real Legacy.


    But very weak one.


    Loki grinned and snapped his fingers.


    Four cards appeared in his hand.


    He gave two for each.


    ''''Don''t show the cards,'''' Loki said with a grinning face.


    Kornelius and Isaac turned around to look each other in the eye.


    Isaac was around 170cm in height, while Kornelius was around 190cm.


    Isaac looked at his card, and the other card was Joker, while another one was an angel.


    ''''You both have Joker and Angel cards¡ª each one of you will have to draw an angel card from your opponent¡ª if you draw Joker card... You lose.'''' Loki stepped aside and put his hands behind his back.


    ''''Kornelius, you first,'''' Loki said with an innocent smile.


    Kornelius hid his two cards in his left hand and put his right arm forwards.


    He looked at Isaac''s facial features and moved his hand closer to the cards.


    He wanted to see if Isaac''s facial features had any change.


    But Isaac''s delicate facial features didn''t have any change.


    Kornelius'' eyebrow twitched.


    He knows what Isaac is nning.


    He is trying to make this luck-based!


    If Isaac is trying to fake his facial features, Kornelius can notice it!


    That''s why Isaac is having a poker face and hopes that Kornelius will pick the wrong one!


    Kornelius gritted his teeth, sweatdrops left his forehead, with the corner of his eyes, he saw Loki''s grinning figure.


    ''Is this funny to you? My life would change drastically if I win, but you think that it''s funny?!'' Kornelius bit his dry lips.


    His throat was parched, and finally... He grabbed the left card.


    He turned the card around, and it was...


    Angel!


    ''''Haahhh!'''' Kornelius took a deep breath of relief.


    He clenched his fist powerfully, ''Yes!''


    Isaac sighed and put the remaining card in his pocket.


    Kornelius put his angel in his pocket and put his two cards in front of him.


    He did the same strategy as Isaac.


    Complete poker face.


    Loki looked amused¡ª it is funny to him when two grown men are ying children''s game seriously.


    Especially Kornelius, he looks like his life depends on this.


    ''''Kekeke...'''' Lokiughed creepily.


    Isaac looked at Kornelius'' facial expressions while he was choosing which card to draw.


    Sweatdrops trickled down his masculine face¡ª his average-looking face waspletely still. He didn''t even look at his cards¡ª instead, he red at Isaac''s beautiful face, like he wanted to drill a hole in it with his gaze.


    Isaac bit his soft-looking lips and tapped his delicate jaw with his index finger.


    Kornelius was screaming in his mind, ''Choose already! CHOOSE!''


    His poker face almost crumbled, and that''s what Isaac wanted.


    He knows how much this means to him, and he is trying to use that to his advantage.


    But he didn''t get a satisfying reaction.


    Kornelius had still his poker face, with slight anger on his face.


    His hands were trembling like the cards weighed a ton.


    One decision... Can change his life.


    He doesn''t care if it can change Isaac''s life.


    He wants this!


    And he would kill Isaac if it allowed him to get the Godly Legacy!


    He can be one of the 10 Kings!


    He could earn millions and millions.


    He could be a superstar with millions of viewers in StreamKing.


    He could date supermodels and movie stars.


    His current dull life would change drastically.


    Everything depended on Isaac''s choice.


    Isaac took a deep breath, and finally, he chose a card!


    Loki concentrated.


    Kornelius was too afraid to look at the card he chose.


    Isaac turned the card around...


    And it was....

 Chapter 29 - Dexterity.

    Isaac saw the card.


    His beautiful grey eyes widened in shock.


    Loki walked next to Isaac and looked at the card.


    His face had an amused smile.


    Kornelius with a pale face looked at his own remaining card.


    His eyes widened in shock.


    Isaac sighed.


    The card he chose was...


    Joker!


    ''''YES!'''' Kornelius cheered loudly.


    Loki covered his ears and pouted with annoyance.


    Kornelius'' body was trembling in ecstasy.


    His era is here!


    ''''Hah!'''' Korneliusughed, he started walking towards Loki, and since Isaac was on the way, he pushed him to the side.


    ''''Ah.'''' Isaac fell down on the ground on his butt.


    ''Cunt...'' Isaac stood up and patted the dust off his butt.


    Kornelius smugly stood in front of Loki.


    ''''I am the winner¡ª give me the Legacy!'''' Kornelius said impatiently.


    Loki tilted his head, and an imaginary question mark appeared on top of his head, ''''You won?''''


    Kornelius snorted and nodded, ''''Obviously, he chose the Joker!''''


    Loki then eximed, ''''I see now!''''


    ''''Give me the Legacy, I don''t have time for games!''''


    Loki then innocently smiled, ''''But you didn''t win. You lost!''''


    ''''What?!'''' Kornelius roared¡ª he grabbed Loki from his cor and lifted him up from the ground, ''''He chose the Joker! I am the winner!''''


    Loki''s face went cold, ''''Hands off me, mortal!''''


    Kornelius heard every nerve in his body screaming, ''Let him go!''


    He took his hand away and retreated a few meters away.


    But he was still unwilling, ''''You said that the one who chose Joker will lose.''''


    Loki innocently waved his hand, ''''That was a lie, didn''t I tell you? The smarter one wins the match.''''


    ''''B-But I won! I am the smarter one!'''' Kornelius screamed with a hoarse voice.


    Loki waved his index finger and pointed it towards Isaac, ''''This cutie chose to do a luck-based match, which was very smart, and you copied him. You didn''t use your own brains and instead copied your opponent, which means... Isaac won!''''


    Kornelius gritted his teeth hatefully¡ª he unsheathed his sword and screamed, ''''I WON!''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Loki snorted and touched Kornelius'' forehead with his umbre.


    *BOOM*


    Kornelius'' body exploded into pixels.


    And words [DEAD] appeared.


    Just like that.


    Kornelius, Level 10 yer, died!


    Loki turned his head towards Isaac and smiled, ''''Good job, cutie. You are the winner!''''


    Isaac wiped his sweat, ''''You knew that I would win after you chose Kornelius to go first... Why?''''


    Loki had an even bigger smile on his face, ''''You are indeed smart. I didn''t like him¡ª he reminds me of my certain someone!''''


    ''''Is this it... Was the Solo Dungeon nothing except this?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''This is one-time thing... After this, the Solo Dungeon will be normal, the usual boring Easy Dungeon.'''' Loki said while swinging his umbre around his body.


    ''''But now, it''s time for you to ept or reject my Legacy,'''' Loki said and tapped the ground with his umbre.


    Messages popped up in front of Isaac.


    [Legacy Received!]


    [Loki, The God of Mischief, wants you to be his Legacy Carrier!]


    [Legacy: The God of Mischief]


    [Legacy Rank: Godly]


    [ss: Trickster]


    [ept/Reject]


    ''''ss Trickster?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow.


    ''''Your ss would be changed. Every Legacy has its own ss... And some Legacies has Unique sses.'''' Loki said with an innocent smile, ''''It''s time to choose!''''


    Isaac looked at the Interface in front of him.


    He knew how desperate Kornelius was to get his hands on this Legacy.


    Isaac isn''t dumb¡ª he knows how valuable it is.


    No one would reject it.


    So, it''s quite an obvious decision.


    To ept.


    Isaac pondered for a moment...


    And then he pressed.


    Loki looked at his decision and was surprised.


    Isaac pressed [Reject]


    ''''Why?'''' Loki asked curiously.


    ''''I don''t think this Legacy would suit me,'''' Isaac replied honestly.


    Loki looked surprised until he startedughing, ''''Hahahaha!''''


    He wiped his tears, ''''Ahh... You are a funny one. Everyone would sell even their mothers to get this Legacy, but you are indeed different, no wonder that individual is interested in you...''''


    Isaac raised an eyebrow, but then a message popped up.

    Isaac turned his head towards Loki, who was smiling innocently.


    ''''Dexterity stat?''''


    Loki cheekily smiled, ''''You know what this means?''''


    Isaac sighed, ''''The Legacy was a trap.''''


    Loki grinned and nodded, ''''Getting Legacy at Level 10 would break the game''s bnce! You must have known about it already. If you epted, you would have died, but you rejected and cleared the dungeon, and I gave you Dexterity stat because you impressed me.''''


    Isaac nodded and looked at the three skills he could choose.


    He will chooseter, but he was relieved that he was finally Level 10.


    *Creak*


    Suddenly, the wall behind Loki opened, and a forest became visible with a massive City in the distance!


    ''''This is Starting City Stronglord.'''' Loki stepped aside, and Isaac could finally see it in its full glory.


    But he looked conflicted.


    Loki chuckled, ''''No worries, you will meet your girlfriendster¡ª they are quite important figures after all~''''


    Isaac snorted, ''''They are my friends.''''


    Loki nodded, ''''Sure sure.''''


    Isaac rolled his eyes and exited the Solo Dungeon.


    Loki followed behind him and inhaled the fresh air.


    ''''Good luck in the journey, cutie,'''' Loki said, and his figure became transparent until hepletely disappeared.


    *BAM*


    The wall behind Isaac got restored.


    Isaac took a deep breath and, with excitement started walking towards Starting City Stronglord!

 Chapter 30 - Stronglord.

    Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden were innocently sitting in front of the cave, while yers around them didn''t dare to approach them.


    Instead, they were getting impatient and wanted for that runt to die already!


    But then... A shocking Announcement came.


    *Ding*


    [Regional Announcement: yer Wraith has achieved First Clear of the Solo Dungeon Swornword. Recorded in Swornword Hall of Fame]


    Everyone heard weird dinging noise, but Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden knew what this sound meant.


    They turned their heads towards the sky and had the widest smile possible.


    Their tiny mouths were stretched so much that it was thought to be impossible.


    The yers looked towards the sky and widened their eyes in shock.


    ''''How?!''''


    ''''How did he do it when Kornelius couldn''t?!''''


    ''''Was he actually a Level 10 yer?!''''


    ''''Was he Beta Tester and has yed the Dungeon before?!''''


    Loud shouts of disbelief echoed in the forest.


    Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden knew that Wraith wasn''t Beta Tester.


    ''''He is awesome,'''' SnowMaiden said with sparkling eyes.


    ''''He must have reached Level 10 there... Girls, let''s finish this Dungeon quickly!'''' Hellsky said with excitement.


    ''''Aye!'''' The two girls shouted.


    Hellsky entered the Dungeon without waiting for other yers.


    ''''Hey, why did she go?!'''' The yers noticed Hellsky entering the Dungeon and were enraged.


    Now they knew that the Dungeon can be beaten, and after every Clear, prizes were getting worse.


    SnowMaiden and WinterLove looked at each other and sighed.


    They unsheathed their weapons and had innocent smiles on their faces.


    Soon, the area around the cave was filled with the sound of manly screams.


    ...


    Isaac was walking on a stone road, and the destination was the Gates of Stronglord.


    He had dozens of yers and NPC''s in front of him.


    All the yers Isaac saw had iron armor and proper weapons.


    While Isaac looked quite different with his simple leather armor and the pouches on his waist.


    Isaac had to wait for another 10 minutes until it was his turn.


    The Guard was NPC with Level 60, with a stoic-looking face. He looked at Isaac and had a small smile.


    Isaac looks like his little sister, except his sister is less pretty.


    ''''Fee to enter the City is 5 White Coins.'''' The Guard said gently.


    5 White Coins appeared on Isaac''s palm, and he gave them to the Guard.


    ''''Enjoy your stay.'''' The Guard bowed and let Isaac enter.


    yers after Isaac thought that the Guard wasn''t too bad, and their nervousness disappeared.


    But the Guard wasn''t as nice to others, he looked very stern, and his muscr voice made everyone timid.


    Isaac looked around the City, and it looked even more beautiful than in the Underlord''s stream.


    There were even women who looked like noble''s walking in the streets. They had beautiful dresses and wore lot of jewelry.


    All of them looked pretty lovely as well. The male yers around the nobledies almost drooled, but then a few noblemen came and pushed the yers away and started flirting with the nobledies.


    The yers looked enraged, but then they saw the noble''s levels.


    All of them were around 80-100!


    The yers'' rage disappeared, and they quickly moved out of the way.


    Isaac kept walking in the streets, and soon he saw a map of the City in the wall.


    The map showed threeyers in the City.


    Isaac was currently in the Outer Layer.


    The second Layer was called Noble Layer. It is where noble''s live, but they also visit Outer Layer often.


    The third Layer was called Royal Layer. It is where the Royal Pce was located.


    But the Royal Layer was quite weird because it was located in the mountains, and the mountain was located in the middle of the Stronglord.


    The Royal Pce was located on top of the mountain, and they could see everything clearly from there.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Isaac opened his Interface and his Map.


    The map now had two ces.


    Swornword vige and the Stronglord City!


    Isaac looked around the map and found what he was looking for.


    The Weapon Store!


    He likes his Flintlock pistol, but it is time to get a better one.


    He has 12k White Coins to be used, after all!


    Isaac walked in the streets for half an hour until he reached a two-floor building with a sword and shield symbol on the door.


    He entered the door and saw a muscr man sitting in front of the desk, while quite a lot yers were looking at the weapons, and the second floor waspletely empty.


    Isaac started looking at the weapons, and every weapon was better than in Swornword!


    He kept looking for guns but didn''t find any.


    Isaac bit his soft lip and approached the muscr man.


    ''''Excuse me?'''' Isaac asked with a slightly nervous tone.


    He really doesn''t want to be banned again!


    The muscr man turned his head towards the beautiful figure in front of him.


    ''''Yes?''''


    Isaac looked at the nametag above the man.


    [Rufus - The Strong Owner]


    Isaac gulped, ''''Is here any... Guns selling?''''


    ''''The second floor,'''' Rufus said simply.


    Isaac took a breath of relief and nodded.


    He climbed all the way to the second floor and finally saw guns!


    He saw Flintlock pistols, but he ignored them, even though they were better ones.


    One gun interested him greatly.


    [Musket (Rare) - 75,000 White Coins]


    ''''75!'''' Isaac almost passed out.


    He resisted his tears and went back to his trusty Flintlock pistols.


    [Flintlock Pistol (Umon) - 3200 White Coins]


    [Flintlock Pistol: Reload 18 Seconds - 2 Shot Ammo Capacity - Flintlock Bullets Needed!]


    ''''Well, it''s better.'''' Isaac took the Flintlock Pistol and went back to the first floor.


    He bought the gun and exited the Weapon Store.


    Isaac had now two Flintlock Pistols.


    For some reason, you cannot buy two at the same rank ones, but two different you can.


    ''I wonder if the damage is greater...'' Isaac thought to himself and decided his next destination.


    The Armory.


    He wanted better armor, and now it was an excellent time to buy.


    He walked for another ten minutes and arrived at the beautiful building with three floors, dozens of ss windows showing the interior of the shop, and beautiful-looking armors on the wall.


    Isaac entered the shop and started his journey to find better armor.

 Chapter 31 - Three Skills.

    ''''Excuse me, need help?'''' A beautiful woman said with a professional smile.


    She was looking at Isaac, who was looking at the selection of the armors.


    She hid her expression, but she was red in envy!


    ''Her skin is so smooth... How is that possible?'' The Female NPC thought with envy.


    They have skincare products, but it is used mainly by nobles.


    The reason why she doesn''t think that Isaac is noble is because he is wearing very cheap-looking clothes.


    Isaac looked at the armors but didn''t find anything suitable.


    ''''Is here any Armor which is better for movement?'''' Isaac asked.


    He turned his gaze towards the female NPC, who looked stiff like a statue.


    ''''C-Can you speak one more time?'''' The Female NPC said with a shaky tone.


    ''''Is here any Armor which lets me move better,'''' Isaac said with a questioning face.


    The Female NPC turned around and hid her face, ''HE IS BOY?! How can a boy have better skin than I do?! Am I destined to be single the rest of my life!''


    ''''Excuse me?'''' Isaac thought with a weird look¡ª he looked at her nametag.


    [Sofia - The Daughter of Armory Owner]


    Sofia turned around and looked at Isaac with puffed cheeks, ''''I think we have BETTER armor for movement.''''


    ''''O-Okay?'''' Isaac followed behind her.


    Sofia angrily stormed towards the second floor and stopped in front of a mannequin that wore a piece of armor.


    She crossed her arms and tapped the floor with her heels.


    Isaac isn''t sure why she is so mad.


    He turned his head towards the armor.


    [Chain Armor (Umon) - 8700 White Coins]


    Isaac took a deep breath.


    ''Everything is so expensive! But... I need better armor.''


    ''''Is this good enough?'''' Sofia said with a twitching eyebrow.


    She looked at Isaac, and even his thoughtful face was cute.


    She gritted her teeth, ''So unfair.''


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''I will take it.''''


    Sofia nodded and took the chain armor, and gave it to Isaac.


    Isaac paid.


    Giving out the 8700 White Coins was even more painful than paying 299$ for the VR Helmet.


    ''Why do I feel like that... It is only game currency, but it feels a lot more... Weird.'' Isaac thought and left the Armory.


    Leaving sulking Sofia behind.


    Isaac didn''t know that he was actually starting to get more and more obsessed about this game on a subconscious level.


    Soon, he will start treating this world like it is real, and soon... It will indeed feel very real!


    Isaac put the armor on the Inventory and started strolling in the streets.


    Soon, he remembered that he had items he could sell, but first, he will put the armor on and decide where to put his Stat Points.


    He exited the streets and entered a calm neighborhood where a certain park was located.


    He saw it on the map and decided to go there to calm his emotions before deciding about something important.


    The park was around 1 km in length, while a stone fence surrounded the park.


    The park had one smallke, a small forest, and stone pathways.


    There was also hundreds of benches surrounding the pathways.


    There were couples flirting with each other-


    Some enjoyed pic, some were exercising.


    Isaac entered the park through small gates and walked on the stone road.


    A blow of wind made his beautiful white hair move gently alongside the wind, and his delicate eyshes were moving back and forth.


    He sat down on the nearby bench, and many people present in the park took sneaky nces towards him.


    Isaac pressed a button in his Interface, which traveled his leather armor to his Inventory, and chain armor appeared on his body.


    ''''Inventory.''''

    ''''75... Nice.'''' Isaac was pleased.


    Chain Armor gave him 75 extra HP points!


    As far as he knew, the Iron Armor in Swornword gave 50.


    But the Iron Armor''s in Stronglord is definitely better.


    Might even give 100.


    Isaac didn''t look any more amateurish yer. Chain Armor is something not many can get this early.


    The Chain Armor perfectly covered his skinny figure, leaving no weak spots.


    Isaac moved his limbs and felt that the mobility was excellent!


    He looked at his Interface again and pondered where to put his Stat Points.


    But then he saw Dexterity having 0.


    He thought for a moment before deciding.


    He nodded and started putting the Stat Points.


    [Dexterity: 0 -> 20]


    [Precision: 45 -> 50]


    [Strength: 13 -> 20]


    [Agility: 35 -> 40]

    Isaac then put another screen in front of him.


    [Skills: Deadshot - Steady Hands - Wall Breaker]


    It was time to choose his first skill!


    Isaac obviously pressed the description of every skill.


    [Deadshot: There is a 2% chance of this skill activating, and during that time, you cannot miss!]


    [Steady Hands: When your stamina is getting low and you are getting tired, Steady Hands will activate, and yourck of stamina won''t bother your aiming because your hands are so Steady that you can still aim perfectly!]


    [Wall Breaker: Your bullets can pierce walls!]


    Isaac looked thoughtful.


    But to passersby''s, he still looked cute as ever.


    Few females even crashed on the tres, and with embarrassment, walked away.


    They concentrated on that cute doll too much!


    ''Deadshot is an incredible skill... But 2%... If it was 5%, I might choose it, but 2%... I am not too sure...''


    ''Steady Hand''s is incredible as well¡ª I can feel that holding the Flintlock Pistol gets harder when my stamina is low, so that skill is definitely useful in many cases, but it seems slightlycklusterpared to the Deadshot.''


    ''Then there is Wall Breaker... My bullets can pierce walls? What is the use if I can''t see my opponent on the other side of the wall?''


    Isaac couldn''t make his decision.


    ''Maybe I should do more research before making such a risky choice.'' Isaac decided to chooseter.


    He will try to search in forums for anything useful.

 Chapter 32 - Banned.

    Isaac entered a Merchant Store.


    He has visited it many times in Swornword, but this was his first time in Stronglord.


    [Laurent - Stingy Merchant]


    A brown-haired man was sitting on the other side of the room, while arge table was in front of him.


    The Merchant Store had only 1 floor, with few rooms, but all the business is done in this room.


    Isaac looked around the room, and it waspletely empty.


    Laurent opened his eyes and looked at the beautiful individual.


    ''She looks like someone who is easy to fool.'' Laurent thought sneakily.


    He pointed at the chair on the other side of the table, ''''Take a seat.''''


    Isaac nodded and sat down on the chair.


    ''''Well, Miss. Buy or sell?'''' Laurent asked while trying to make a handsome smile, but that only creeped Isaac out.


    ''''I am male,'''' Isaac replied.


    *Cough* *Cough*


    Laurent almost choked on his saliva, ''''I-I see.''''


    Isaac put many different items on the desk.


    4 daggers, 3 Wild Wolf Fangs, and 2 Leather Armors.


    One of the leather armors was his own¡ª he decided to sell it away.


    ''''Hmm.'''' Laurent looked at the daggers.


    ''''These ones are in bad condition¡ª the owner of these daggers obviously haven''t sharpened them before,'''' Laurent said.


    He obviously lied.


    He knows that only people who bring weapons to be sold are the ones who have killed others to get these weapons.


    Isaac''s brows furrowed.


    Laurent then looked at the Fangs, ''''These are not in good condition either¡ª they have taken damage.''''


    Isaac crossed his arms.


    ''''And these Leather Armors are even worse¡ª fixing them will cost a lot of money.'''' Laurent sighed and rubbed his forehead, ''''I can give... 200 White Coins for all of these.''''


    He turned his head towards Isaac and had an innocent smile on his face.


    Isaac took the items and put them back on the Inventory.


    He stood up and started walking away.


    ''''H-Hey, where are you going?!'''' Laurent angrily shouted, ''''No one else will give a better prize!''''


    A bunch of messages popped up in front of Isaac.


    [Rtionship with Merchant Laurent has dropped down to 0!]


    [If you leave the building, it will be negative, and you will be banned from every Merchant store in Stronglord!]


    Isaac turned his head towards Laurent, who was slyly smiling.


    Isaac opened the door and left.


    ''''YOU BASTARD!'''' He heard an enraged shout, but he ignored it.


    [You have been banned from every Merchant Store in Stronglord!]


    Isaac sighed and started strolling in the streets.


    He is confident that he can earn 10 times the amount Laurent offered.


    ''Do I have to go back to the Swornword to sell the items?'' Isaac looked conflicted, but it seemed that he had no other choice left.


    It is of course bad, because it is a long journey, and he should focus on grinding XP.


    But then, Isaac entered the City Square and saw hundreds of NPC''s and yers alike trading items!


    Isaac had a brilliant idea. His eyes sparkled, and he walked towards the City Square.


    He sat down on the corner of the City Square and took items from his Inventory.


    He took out 4 daggers, 3 Wild Wolf Fangs, and the Leather Armors.


    His items weren''t anything special, and others had much better.


    But he had a n!


    Isaac looked at the ground and saw it was quite dirty. He moved his hand around the ground, and now his soft hand was dirtied.


    He put his hands on his hair and started moving his hands around his soft hair.


    Soon his white hair was half brown and half white.


    He looked like a beggar, but he didn''t touch his beautiful face because he needs it!


    Now, Isaac looked like a beautiful beggar who needs money for living expenses or money to pay for his elderly grandmom''s medical bills.


    His look earned a lot of pity looks.


    Especially from the female poption, who had to drag their husbands towards him.


    ''''Hello sweety, I will buy them all.'''' A beautiful brte said and gave Isaac 2000 White Coins.


    Isaac put them close to his chest and bowed deeply.


    He didn''t talk because he wanted everyone to think that he was a girl.


    The beautiful woman gently smiled and took the items from the ground.


    Isaac looked at her nametag.


    [Sophia - Noblewoman]


    He remembers her name. If fate allows, he will help in every way he can.


    It is to pay back his shameless behavior.


    Sophia, the gentle woman, wasn''t aware that she got one of the future Mythical Heroes as her guardian.


    Isaac put the White Coins back to his inventory and instantly left the City Square.


    Not aware that few people with lustful and greed-filled eyes saw him leave.


    Isaac kept walking in the streets while three figures followed behind him.


    Soon, he entered more shady parts of the City.


    It was the slum area.


    The three figures thought that it was obvious that the girl was living here.


    They got more excited because Guards don''t care what happens here.


    Soon, Isaac entered a shabby building with a lot of cracks on the walls, and it looked like it can fall apart by simple push.


    The three figures followed behind.


    The first figure opened the door and sneakily entered.


    But then...


    *nk*


    A barrel of the pistol was touching his forehead.


    The first figure paled, but then Isaac pressed the trigger.


    *Bang*


    [-200 HP!]


    The first figure dropped dead.


    The two other figures were shocked¡ª they quickly turned around and ran away.


    Isaac was shocked after seeing the damage.


    He grinned and took his other Flintlock Pistol.


    *BANG*


    The second figure only managed to run past the front door before Isaac''s Flintlock bullet back of his head.


    Only one figure remained.


    The third figure was running on the streets.


    The other residents of the slum only watched as the man ran in horror.


    Then they saw a beautiful individual running after him.


    The beautiful individual was so much faster, and soon Isaac overtook him.


    The figure gritted his teeth and punched!


    Isaac used his agility stats and dodged.


    The figure didn''t give up¡ª instead, he kept punching sloppily.


    But Isaac easily dodged every single punch,


    Soon... It has been 18 seconds since the first figure died.


    Isaac reloaded the Flintlock Pistol and pointed it towards the figure.


    The figure went pale¡ª he knew... Death was about to embrace him.


    *BANG*


    A sizeable hole appeared on his forehead, and he instantly died.


    Isaac put the Flintlock Pistol on his inventory, and he quickly ran off¡ª He thoughtthat noise must have attracted Guards.


    But he didn''t know that it was a usual sight in slums¡ª the Guards don''t care what happens here.


    Isaac left the slum area and started walking towards his next destination, which was City Hall!


    He can buy a house from there or rent a room.

 Chapter 33 - The House.

    Isaac arrived in one of thergest buildings in Outer Layer.


    It was a tall five-floor building, with NPC''s and yers entering and leaving the building constantly.


    It was definitely the most crowded building in entire Stronglord.


    On the balcony of the fifth floor, individuals with expensive-looking dresses and suits was seen to be drinking tea and talking with smiles on their attractive faces.


    NPC''s and yers looked at them with envy.


    Only the wealthy can even dream of entering the fifth floor.


    Isaac entered the building.


    He saw 10 desks with beautiful women sitting while NPC''s and yers were lining up.


    Isaac entered the shortest line and started waiting.


    ''I hope 2300 White Coins is enough to rent a room...'' Isaac thought.


    Even if it doesn''t look like it, but houses and rooms are extremely important.


    Your own house can be your own safe house, and no one can enter it without your permission. But, Guards are allowed to enter if needed.


    There is also limited Inventory space¡ª it is good to have your own room to store your items if your Inventory is getting too full.


    Also, your Stamina will recover 100% faster in your own room or house.


    You can also rent your own house if you want¡ª that way yers can earn White Coins without even going to hunt monsters and wild animals.


    Most Companies think that renting houses will be the easiest way to have a stable ie.


    Especially when more yers enter Starting City, and houses are getting scarce.


    Isaac wanted his own room to have his own spawn spot.


    He doesn''t want to log out somewhere random, where yers can ambush if they saw him log out.


    And, he doesn''t want to travel all the way to his room before logging out.


    Having your own room is very handy.


    Soon the line has ended, and it was Isaac''s turn.


    He sat down on the chair.


    The beautiful woman in front of him frowned.


    She was amazed after seeing the individual''s beautiful face, but then she saw Isaac''s dirty hair.


    ''Does she even have money to rent a room?'' The beautiful woman thought with annoyance.


    She has got a lot of yers who didn''t have enough money, and they did nothing except waste her time.


    ''''Hello, what is your business with us?'''' She asked with a professional smile.


    ''''Rent a room,'''' Isaac said.


    The woman resisted facepalming¡ª her mouth twitched, she nodded.


    She was so angry that she didn''t even notice that Isaac was a boy!


    ''''Here.'''' The woman showed pictures of different rooms with price tags.


    Isaac looked at them and widened his eyes in shock.


    The woman noticed his facial expressions changing¡ª she sighed and asked, ''''Which one will you choose?''''


    She was certain that this beautiful individual didn''t have money to pay for any of these rooms.


    Isaac took one picture and showed her the picture, ''''This one.''''


    The woman looked shocked.


    The room was simple with a small bathroom, own bedroom, and balcony. It would be nothing special for Isaac, who has lived in a mansion all his life, but for Stronglord, that room is excellent.


    There was also a price tag.


    [500 White Coins - Per Week]


    It is expensive, but Isaac is confident that he can earn that much money with one hunting trip.


    ''''A-Are you sure you have that kind of money?'''' The woman asked with a twitching eyebrow.


    She didn''t know was Isaac pulling her leg or what.


    Isaac nodded and took 500 White Coins and put them on the desk.


    The woman was once again shocked.


    ''''I-I-I see, I-I will give you papers.'''' She shakily took pair of papers and gave them to Isaac.


    Isaac looked at the papers and quickly signed them and gave one of them back, but kept another one.


    She took the paper and gave pair of keys.


    She still looked dumbfounded.


    Isaac nodded and stood up.


    He left the City Hall.


    While the woman was still dumbfounded.


    Even after the next individual sat in front of her, she didn''t move.


    Even she has not had that much money to live in that room!


    Maybe for a month or so, but then her money reserves would be gone!


    Isaac happily walked in the streets. He was satisfied that the rooms weren''t that expensive.


    He entered one neighborhood with stone fences and one pair of gates with pair of Guards.


    The Guards saw poor-looking individual approaching.


    They frowned¡ª Isaac looked like someone belonging to the Slums.


    Isaac appeared in front of them and showed them a paper.


    One of the Guards looked at the paper and looked shocked.


    This was not some cheap neighborhood where everyone can live!


    But, apparently, this poor-looking individual had enough money to buy a rented room here!


    The Guards opened the gates and let Isaac in.


    Even if they felt doubtful about this individual, it is not their job to question is the paper real or not.


    If they offend someone they shouldn''t, they and their Captain will lose their heads.


    The neighborhood was filled with three-floor buildings, couples happily walking on the streets, and some even had children.


    Isaac also saw a few yers, but he ignored them and entered the yard of house, where his rented room is located.


    It was another three-floor building with a front yard with a wooden fence surrounding it.


    Someone in that residence has put four rooms on rent, and Isaac got one of them.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    Isaac knocked on the door a few times and heard some noiseing from the house.


    The door was soon opened.


    Isaac saw a young woman in her 18s with messy ck hair which reached all the way to her waist. She looked quite attractive, but her face looked tired, and if she had put on some make-up, then she would definitely be a very beautiful individual.


    Isaac looked at her nametag.


    [Be]


    ''''Hmm, who are you?'''' Be asked with a tired look¡ª she rubbed her eyes and opened her bright blue eyes.


    She saw a dirty-looking individual¡ª at first, she thought that Isaac was a beggar, but then she saw him holding a paper.


    Isaac smiled and gave her the paper.


    Be took the paper and widened her eyes, ''''You rented the room?!''''


    Isaac nodded and bowed, ''''Let''s get along.''''


    ''''A-Ah, yes!'''' Be said and stepped aside.


    Isaac entered the house and saw stairways leading to the second floor not far from him.


    He looked towards the left and saw the living room, and the kitchen was located on the right side.


    There were two tables, one in the living room and one in the kitchen.


    There was also multiple windows in the living room, which made the house quite bright.


    Isaac looked towards the second floor and saw multiple rooms with numbers on the doors.


    This will be where he lives for quite a long time.

 Chapter 34 - Chef.

    ''''Well, this is the house. Did the person in City Hall give you keys?'''' Be asked.


    Isaac nodded and showed pair of keys.


    Be nodded, ''''One of them is for this house, and the second one is for your room.'''' She looked at the key more closely and nodded, ''''Your room is on the third floor, with number 5.''''


    Isaac nodded, he looked at his own clothing, and he could feel his dirty hair sticking to his skin.


    ''''I will go take a shower,'''' Isaac said and walked towards the second floor.


    Be nodded and shouted, ''''You are the first to have rented a room¡ª I will cook something for celebration!''''


    Isaac looked at her and smiled.


    He went to the third floor and saw a door with number 5.


    He put the key on the keyhole and twisted it.


    *Creak*


    The door opened, and the room became visible.


    It looked simr as in the picture.


    After he entered the room, he saw a small living space with two doors.


    The first door is the bathroom, and the second is the bedroom.


    But the small room ispletely empty, but there is also one ss door that leads to the balcony.


    Isaac entered the bathroom and saw a bathtub and shower.


    He pressed a few buttons in front of him, and soon all his clothes disappeared.


    Isaac looked at his smooth skin, and it still looked as skinny as in real life.


    ''What was I expecting? Of course, my body wouldn''t change after putting in a few stats... So dumb.'' Isaac thought and started showering.


    He felt slightly disappointed that the stat points didn''t affect his physical appearance, he likes to build more muscle after all, but he has never seeding doing that.


    Half an hourter.


    Isaac got rid of thest dirt in his hair.


    He wiped his body and put his newbie clothing on, which consisted of a simple white shirt and brown leather pants.


    He grabbed his pair of keys and stuffed them into his pockets.


    After that, he left the room and went straight towards the kitchen.


    A mouthwatering smell came from the kitchen.


    ''She is a great cook!'' Isaac thought with amazement.. He entered the kitchen and saw Be moving in the kitchen like she was dancing.


    She did everything perfectly, and the food she was making was already rivaling top chefs.


    ''''Oh, you are done showering,'''' Be said and turned around.


    She was holding a knife, but after turning around, she dropped it to the ground.


    She was stiff like a statue.


    ''''Are you alright?'''' Isaac asked and looked at the knife, which was only 1 cm away from stabbing through her feet.


    Be turned around¡ª she quickly took a towel from the kitchen desk and started walking out of the kitchen while hiding her face.


    ''''I-I will be back soon!'''' She ran towards the third floor, where her room was also located.


    Isaac looked strangely at her.


    But soon, he heard a door mming shut on the third floor.


    Isaac shrugged and went to look at what she was making.


    ''''Chicken...'''' Isaac saw her making chicken.


    He has also learned cooking lessons from his mother¡ª he moved the chicken around so that it won''t be burnt.


    He didn''t know what Be nned to do with the chicken¡ª that''s why he waited.


    10 minutester, Be left her room and returned to the kitchen.


    Isaac looked at her and raised an eyebrow.


    She didn''t have her messy hair and tired look anymore. She put her ck hair in a ponytail, and she had slight make-up on her face. She looked absolutely stunning¡ª she shyly smiled and said, ''''Sorry, I will take it from here.''''


    Isaac nodded and stepped aside.


    He sat down on the chair while looking at Be, who was cooking.


    Isaac opened the Interface and looked at the time.


    It was closing at 7 P.M.


    He had done surprisingly a lot of stuff today.


    He left the Vige, fought against the Assassin, talked with Hellsky and others, entered the Solo Dungeon, then stuff with Loki and Kornelius.


    Then entered Stronglord, got new weapon and armor, got banned from Merchant Store, did a shameless deed of begging for White Coins, killed three thieves, and finally got a room.


    After eating, he nned to log out from the game.


    He still has to think about which Skill to choose tonight.


    He hopes that the forums has something worthwhile.


    ''''Done!'''' Be said cheerfully.


    She grabbed two tes and put two pieces of chicken and vegetables on them.


    She gave one te for Isaac and sat in front of him.


    Be shyly smiled and said, ''''I hope it fits your taste buds.''''


    Isaac grabbed a wooden fork and took a first bite of the chicken.


    His eyes widened in shock.


    ''''This is great,'''' Isaac said with amazement.


    Be clenched her tiny fist in celebration.


    Isaac thought that it was amazing that Be could make something this tasty without good spices.


    [Vitality Increased by 1!]


    *Cough*


    Isaac started coughing heavily.


    ''''Are you alright?!'''' Be shouted with shock¡ª she went next to Isaac and patted his back.


    Isaac innocently smiled and waved his hand, ''''I am fine...''''


    Be still looked at him with worry, but she sat down on her chair and kept taking sneaky nces at him.


    Isaac wiped his sweat, ''Stats can be increased without Stat Points?!''


    But that was not the most shocking part.


    The part that eating food increased the Vitality.


    But what Isaac didn''t know was that it is usually less than a 1% chance of happening.


    But with Be and her excellent cooking, the chance was 2%.


    World of White''s Best Chefs can only make food with a 5% chance.


    That''s why Unique Support ss Chef is in rtively high demand in the future.


    Especially when real Chefs will enter the game, trying to achieve the Chef ss.


    Isaac in some sense, achieved a jackpot.


    Be saw him enjoying the food.


    She smiled and felt proud.


    Isaac had the most beautiful smile she has ever seen¡ª to see that smile again, she ns to improve her cooking to a whole new level!


    Isaac soon emptied the te, and he felt disappointed.


    It was incredibly delicious, but messages popped up saying that he was full and eating more might be harmful.


    Isaac walked towards the sink and started cleaning the tes.


    He still thought that it was strange for this world to have 200 years old buildings but futuristic cleaning equipment, like sinks, bathtubs, etc.


    There was also pipes going under the city, which were used for toilets, and to transfer water to the houses.


    ''''You don''t need to do that.'''' Be appeared next to him and said gently.


    Isaac smiled, ''''I can do this much, at least.''''


    Be pouted and washed her te.


    Isaac soon finished washing his te, and he put it on the cab.


    He looked at Be and said, ''''Food was delicious, thanks.''''


    Be tried to hide a massive smile from forming on her face¡ª she nodded and said, ''''No problem...''''


    ''''See you tomorrow.''''


    Isaac left the kitchen and went back to his room.


    He entered the bedroom and sat on the bed.


    A message popped up in front of him instantly.


    [Spawn Spot Located!]


    [Do you want this to be your Spawn Spot?]


    [Yes/No]


    Isaac pressed Yes, and soon the bed glowed in green until the glowing disappeared.


    Isaac opened the Interface.


    He looked outside the window towards the beautiful city onest time.


    After that.


    Isaac pressed [Log Out]


    Leaving the World of White once again.

 Chapter 35 - Dream.

    Isaac opened his eyes and saw the familiar white-colored visor covering his vision.


    He was about to take his VR Helmet off.


    But then he noticed that his arm was trapped.


    He turned his head and widened his eyes.


    He saw a beautiful ck-haired girl innocently sleeping while having his arm trapped in her breasts.


    ''Alice, what is she doing here?'' Isaac thought¡ª he used his left arm and took the VR Helmet off.


    He put it gently on the bed and then used his arm to wake Alicia up.


    ''''Mmm...'''' Alice slowly opened her eyes and saw Isaac''s adorable face.


    She smiled sweetly and saidzily, ''''Good morning...''''


    Isaac sweatdropped, ''''Alice, it''s night.''''


    Alice looked at the room and then she saw that she was not in her room...


    Soon her beautiful face started changing shades.


    She bit her lip shyly while her face was red in embarrassment.


    ''''I-I know!'''' Alice stood up and ran towards the door.


    ''''Why were you here?'''' Isaac asked, but Alice had already left the room.


    The door closed behind her, leaving confused Isaac alone.


    He scratched his head.


    He took the VR Helmet and put it on the box, which was located on the floor. After that, he went to his wardrobe and hid it there.


    Isaac then did his daily routine and took a notebook from the locked cab, and started writing everything he did today.


    This time most of the things he talked was about White Online, which even surprised him.


    He never liked talking about his hobbies in his diaries.


    He even wrote his Interface in the notebook.


    Isaac didn''t himself realize, but he is bing more serious about White Online, and when he gets serious about something... Miracles happen.


    Half an hourter, he closed the notebook and put it back on the cab.


    He closed it with his silver key and hid the silver key as well.


    Isaac turned his head towards hisptop, ''''I hope there is something useful...'''' He murmured and grabbed theptop.


    He sat down on his bed and went straight towards the forums.


    Most of the things was about the update, of course, and many peopleined about buffing of Assassins ss.


    It has definitely given a lot of trouble for many.


    But he also noticed that quite a lot of yers who chose Marksmanined about not getting buff.


    They would need to buy another VR Helmet if they wanted to make a new ount with another ss.


    Not everyone has that kind of money, so most of them got stuck with the Marksman ss.


    Isaac ignored all theints and looked at posts made by Marksmen who had got their first skills.


    But surprisingly, he saw none!


    He frowned.


    Isaac knew that he wasn''t the first Marksman who became level 10.


    Since the game is still very new, no one wants to ruin their advantages.


    Isaac is also not sure whether he should trust the forums.


    Lastly, he tried finding anything about Deadshot, Steady Hands, and Wall Breaker, but nothing.


    ''Maybe first skills for everyone is different?'' Isaac wasn''t sure¡ª he closed theptop and put it back on his desk.


    Isaac took his phone from his pocket and lied down on the bed.


    He went to the StreamKing website and started watching other streams.


    Most of the yers were grinding, and he saw that Underlord''s level was already 16!


    Most of the top yers y till their game time is over.


    Legendary VR Helmet allows to y all the time because when it signals that the user of the VR Helmet is too tired, it will put them to sleep, but inside the game, that person is still awake.


    But there is still a limit of much they can y in one sitting.


    It is 30 hours.


    tinum VR Helmet has limit of 25 hours, and it has the same sleeping system.


    Gold VR Helmet limit is 20 hours, but no sleeping system.


    Silver VR Helmet limit is 15 hours, and no sleeping system.


    Bronze VR Helmet limit is 10 hours, and no sleeping system.


    Most of the yers y till the time limit, but Isaac has not even yed close to it.


    Isaac remembers that there are rumors of a new VR Helmet being made, with the name Mythical VR Helmet.


    Apparently, it has no time limit, and yers can y without limits because there is an advanced system programmed on it¡ª that more you y, more energetic you be and healthier.


    It is only rumors, and Isaac doesn''t really believe it.


    It sounds way good to be true.


    Mythical VR Helmet apparently makes you feel like the game is genuinely ''''real.''''


    Isaac watched for another hour as Underlord kept grinding XP in the forest near Stronglord.


    The forest was called Beast Forest.


    It doesn''t only have wild animals, but also some dangerous Beasts who can slice yers in half instantly.


    But the Beast Forest is quiterge, and Underlord was near the edge of the Forest.


    Most of the yers were, that''s why it was quite a crowded ce, and a lot of kill stealing happened.


    Even Underlord did it, but when he got his kill stolen, heined and so did his chat.


    Underlord killed everyone who kill stole from him.


    It was easy for him, because he was much higher Level.


    Isaac looked at the chaos on the screen, and soon closed the phone.


    He got enough information about the Beast Forest.


    There is still the Solo Dungeon, but it is quite far in the woods, and no one is high enough level to survive there.


    Apparently, Level 25 Beast is guarding the Solo Dungeon.


    Isaac pondered what he should tomorrow in the game.


    Grinding XP would be the most obvious solution, but seeing the chaos, he wasn''t too sure about it anymore.


    ''''I will find out tomorrow...'''' Isaac yawned and closed his eyes.


    Soon he fell asleep, and that night... He had a dream.


    About figure with sniper on his shoulder with white mask covering his face.


    The area around the figure was snowing heavily, but it was like he could see everything perfectly, even when he was in the middle of the snowstorm!


    He aimed with his sniper and pressed the trigger.


    *Bang*


    The bullet left the barrel and that one bullet.... Killed 10 of his enemies!

 Chapter 36 - Hospital.

    ''''Nngh...'''' Isaac groggily opened his eyes, and the lighting from the window assaulted his eyes.


    He covered his eyes with his hands. He sat down on his bed and rubbed his eyes.


    With sleepy eyes, he looked around the room and kept blinking.


    ''''It was a dream..?'''' Isaac felt like his dream was very real.


    He rubbed his eyes one more time and stood from the bed.


    Withzy steps, he went to the bathroom to do his morning routine.


    Ten minutester, he left the bathroom and put new pair of clothing.


    He didn''t care which he chose¡ª he only grabbed the first ones he saw and put them on.


    His parents have spoiled him rotten, and he has hundreds of clothes, which he barely uses.


    They even give an allowance, even though he doesn''t need it.


    They don''t want him to refuse.


    Isaac mostly uses the money to buy new notebooks, pencils, and some mundane things he might use.


    The most expensive things he bought was theptop and the VR Helmet.


    His parents always buy him the newest phone on the market.


    They have money to spare, and Sophia is definitely taking advantage of it.


    Alice and Marvin uses a reasonable amount, and Mark as well.


    Isaac uses less than others.


    But, Sophia became so outrageous that Isabe and Maxwell had to lower the allowance.


    Now it''s around 500$


    It is a weekly allowance as well.


    Isaac has probably few thousand in his bank ount.


    That''s why Isaac didn''t really want his mother to give him an extra allowance because he doesn''t need it.


    But, he is spoiled the most.


    Isaac thought that it was a miracle that he didn''t be an arrogant young master.


    Isaac looked at him in the mirror.


    Beautiful face with snowy white hair, soft-looking cheeks which screamed to get squuezed, and soft-looking lips. He was around 170cm with a scrawny build, but there was some visible abs underneath his shirt but no muscles in sight.


    His white eyshes looked quite exotic, and it made his grey eyes more appealing.


    Isaac puffed his cheeks and tried to see how he looked in the mirror.


    He thought that he didn''t look that girly, but if there were a crowd of people in the room, they all would be yelling, ''''Cute!''''


    Isaac left his room and walked down the long corridors.


    Soon he arrived at the stairs and descended all the way to the bottom floor.


    ''''Mark, don''t eat them all!'''' Isabe said sternly, but eyes filled with love.


    Mark pouted and stuffed another cookie in his mouth.


    Isaac saw that everyone had gathered for breakfast.


    He entered the dining room, and that shocked everyone.


    Isaac is ate sleeper, and he wouldn''t wake up at 7 A.M even if the sky fell down!


    ''''Isaac, are you alright? Are you sick?'''' Isabe came towards him and touched his forehead.


    She frowned, ''''It is slightly warm. Let''s go to the hospital!''''


    Alice instantly stood up with a horror-filled face.


    Maxwell grabbed his keys and was about to stand up.


    But then Isaac said with a twitching eyebrow, ''''I am not sick.''''


    Isabe put her arms on her waist and frowned, ''''Listen, young man, a small hospital trip wouldn''t hurt.''''


    ''''Isaac, your mom is right. Let''s have a quick trip¡ª I can get an appointment in half an hour.''''


    Isaac puffed his cheeks.


    ''They never listen to me... I am healthy as a goat!''


    ''''Cute!'''' Alice screamed girly.


    Isabe almost fainted because the puffed cheeks were so destructive, but her worry for Isaac destroyed the reality, and she managed to stay conscious.


    Marvin and Mark stood up.


    Sophia was left alone in the dining room to eat.


    They didn''t expect her toe along.


    She doesn''t really care about anybody other than herself.


    Isaac was unwillingly dragged out of the mansion, and they entered arge ck-colored car with 8 seats.


    It was one of the newest models for families.


    In the garage, there were three other cars.


    Two red sportcars and one silver-colored jeep.


    All of them looked very expensive, and they shined so much that people would think that the cars were never used.


    Maxwell drove the car out of the yard and started driving towards the gates of the neighborhood.


    Two ck-colored cars followed behind them.


    It was the bodyguards.


    Isaac was looking out of the window with a dead-looking face.


    He felt like a headache was about toe.


    Alice grabbed his hand and said, ''''You will be fine¡ª if one of your organs is damaged, I will volunteer to transfer one of mine.''''


    Isaac looked at her with dead-looking eyes.


    Alice tilted her head and innocently smiled.


    Mark was ying on his phone.


    Marvin looked outside of the window as well.


    They left the neighborhood and quickly made their way over to the hospital.


    Ten minutester, they arrived.


    The Hospital was one of thergest in the entire Starshow, the country Isaac and others are from.


    The parking lot was filled with cars, but the hospital was sorge that it didn''t look like it was crowded.


    They left the car, and Isaac was dragged by Isabe towards the hospital building.


    There was already a beautiful nurse waiting for them who took them to the top floor, where their Chief Doctor was already waiting.


    A beautiful family like them caught easily everyone''s attention.


    There were also young people in the lounge with their families.


    They recognized Alice from their school.


    She is the School Belle, and everyone would recognize her.


    She has been courted by juniors and seniors since she entered the school.


    No one entered her eyes, and everyone knew the reason...


    Then Alice''s schoolmates noticed a beautiful young man walking next to her.


    Their bodies trembled, and they felt like screaming.


    They pushed their bodies to the limits and took their phones from their pockets.


    Soon they pressed the camera like their life depended on it.


    They need to recover evidence for Cult of White!


    Isaac wasn''t aware, butter today, news about Isaac visiting the hospital was spread everywhere.


    The students in Cult of White cried tears of blood¡ª they were stuck in school and couldn''t run towards the hospital!


    Some of them even thought about breaking their legs to get to the hospital ASAP!


    Isaac did not know the storm his visit to the hospital caused.


    He was sitting in the hospital room while his family members stood behind him with worry.


    The Chief Doctor had short ck hair with a handsome face and chiseled jawline. His body was muscr and definitely a dream man for countless women. He is good-looking, rich, and his face gives gentle vibes.


    ''''Isaac.'''' The Chief Doctor said with a wry smile.


    Isaac smiled and nodded, ''''Doctor Richard.''''


    ''''Just call me Richard.'''' Richard, The Chief Doctor said gently.


    He took the clipboard and sighed, ''''This is your tenth visit this year.''''


    Isaac grimaced and looked towards Isabe, who was whistling innocently.


    Even getting a papercut would cause him to get into the hospital.


    During those nine times, nothing was wrong with him!

 Chapter 37 - Legendary VR Helmet.

    Richard was using a stethoscope, which is a long, thin stic tube that has a small disc at one end and an earpiece at the other. He was pressing it towards Isaac''s exposed stomach.


    Isabe and Alice anxiously looked at the scene.


    Richard has done countless tests and hasn''t changed expression even once.


    Soon, he stopped and looked at Isaac with an amused smile, ''''You are perfectly healthy.''''


    Isabe and Alice took a deep breath of relief.


    Isaac rubbed his forehead and covered his stomach with his shirt, ''''Thanks...''''


    ''''No problem, are the... Previous injuries healed?'''' Richard asked solemnly.


    The room got eerily quiet.


    Isaac grabbed his own arm and nodded, ''''It is.''''


    Richard smiled and nodded, ''''You are free to go¡ª your body is in perfect health.''''


    ''''Isaac, you go first. We will talk with Richard about a few things.'''' Isabe held Isaac''s shoulders and said gently.


    Isaac nodded and stood up.


    He left the room with Alice, Marvin and Mark.


    Alice was smiling innocently, but then with the corner of her eyes, she saw a camera shing.


    Like a hawk, she saw a couple of girls filming Isaac.


    Her eyes went cold, ''''I will be right back.'''' She said and started walking towards the girls, who had already started running away.


    Mark and Marvin sat on the chairs located in the corridors.


    Isaac looked around him, but then his ears perked up.


    ''''S...e...n...'''' He heard someone shouting, but he could barely hear it.


    Marvin and Mark was using their phones¡ª they didn''t hear anything, and didn''t see Isaac walking away.


    Isaac curiously walked towards the sound and arrived at one of the hospital rooms.


    He opened the door slightly, and the voice became clearer, ''''Someone... Doctors!''''


    Isaac entered the spacious hospital room.


    Every patient on the top floor are a so-called VVVIP.


    This means the identity of the person in this room is very special.


    Isaac walked deeper inside the room and saw an individual lying on the hospital bed.


    It was a young woman in her 18s, she had beautiful long ck hair with bright blue eyes. But her face was quite sickly and pale. She was trying to grab an item from the desk next to the bed but couldn''t reach it.


    ''''S-Someone!'''' She shouted with hoarse sound, she was trying to reach an item that looked like a helmet...


    She looked desperate, and it was like her life depended on it.


    Her body was quite petite with small breasts and pale skin, like color of snow. Her flesh looked quite delicate, which could break by a simple touch.


    Under the nket, her soft-looking toes was seen fidgeting around.


    She tried to reach the helmet, but the wires connected to her body stopped her from moving more.


    ''''N-No...'''' Her eyes went moist, and she almost started crying, but then, a hand came which took the helmet and gave it to her.


    She looked with her bright blue eyes towards Isaac and widened her eyes in surprise, ''''W-Who?''''


    ''''Sorry, I thought I heard a noiseing from here, and then I saw the scene,'''' Isaac said with an apologetic face.


    ''''O-Oh... T-Thanks...'''' She said shyly and hid her face behind the helmet.


    She thought that the individual was a girl, but it was a boy!


    She has never been able to act properly around boys, she either bes very shy, or she feels ufortable around them.


    Isaac could finally see the helmet more properly. It was a pure white-colored helmet with 5 stars on the side and curved letters above the stars with word [Legendary]


    ''Legendary VR Helmet!'' Isaac was surprised, but soon his face became normal.


    It isn''t surprising for VVVIP to be able to afford that helmet¡ª they could even afford hundreds of them!


    His attention was shifted towards the sickly-looking girl and he saw her ufortable expression.


    ''''Well, I will be going now. I hope you get better.'''' Isaac said and started walking away. Entering someone''s hospital room was already rude enough, and he clearly noticed that she is very shy individual.


    He doesn''t know why she is here, but looking at her pale face and that she is in hospital, she must have some kind of illness.


    ''''W-Wa...Wait!'''' She shouted, but it came as whimpering instead.


    Her face changed shades, and she quickly hid her face again.


    Isaac stopped walking and looked at her with curious expression.


    She showed her face one more time and asked quietly, ''''D-Do... Do you y White Online?''''


    Isaac looked at the VR Helmet, ''She must be ying it as well...''


    ''''Yes,'''' Isaac replied.


    The girl in the bed finally smiled, ''''D-Do you like it?''''


    Isaac went silent.


    ''Do I like it..? So far... I have.''


    She waited for the answer anxiously.


    Isaac finally could muster his words¡ª it was like a lump was removed from his throat, ''''I do...''''


    The girl smiled and didn''t hide her face anymore, ''''What do you like the most? I like how real it feels!''''


    Isaac sat down on the chair and pondered for a moment.


    ''''I think the thing I like the most is...''''


    The girl waited for the answer with a curious expression.


    Finally, Isaac opened his mouth, ''''My ss.''''


    The girl looked surprised, ''''Y-Your ss?''''


    Isaac nodded and smiled, ''''I like my ss most.''''


    ''''W-What is your ss?''''


    ''''Marksman,'''' Isaac replied.


    The girl looked surprised, but then she started giggling, ''''Dummy, isn''t that the worst ss?''''


    Isaac waved his hand, ''''Worst? I don''t think so.''''


    They talked for another half an hour.


    Even Isaac didn''t notice how much time had passed.


    The girl who looked anxious to go y White Online had now her helmet on the bed, and she kept talking with Isaac without getting bored even slightest.


    Isaac was not aware, but the hospital was in chaos.


    He suddenly went missing, and the whole hospital went lockdown.


    The Whitelock Family''s bodyguards were armed, and they searched every room, starting from the first floor.


    *Bam*


    Isaac flinched and looked towards the door and saw an individualing with a gun!


    The girl on the bed went even paler. Her body trembled, and tears started trickling down her soft, yet pale cheeks.


    ''''Michael?!'''' Isaac screamed.


    The individual was Michael, and he finally breathed relief after seeing their young master being safe.


    ''''Young master, we were worried sick!'''' Michael said sternly¡ª he quickly used his radiophone and called others.


    ''''Why the gun?!'''' Isaac screamed angrily.


    Michael flinched¡ª rarely Isaac has been this angry.


    He saw Isaac holding the girl''s hand, trying to calm her down.


    His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.


    The girl hugged Isaac''s delicate body and cried on his shoulder.


    Soon, the room was crowded with people.


    ''''Isaac!'''' Isabe came inside the room with disheveled hair.


    She was panting heavily because she ran all around the hospital, trying to find Isaac!


    Soon, Maxwell, Alice, and others entered the room as well.


    They could finally sigh in relief after finding Isaac.


    But then another problem arose.


    Alice and Isabe saw some random girl hugging Isaac''s treasured body.


    The air went cold, and it was like a snowstorm appeared in the room.


    Isaac was patting the girl''s head, trying to calm her down, not knowing that made the situation even worse.


    He has never shown this much care for others before! He, of course, took care of the siblings if they got sick, but only by delivering food, etc. They have never received patting from him!

 Chapter 38 - Resurfaced Memories.

    ''''Isaac.'''' Isabe narrowed her eyes dangerously.


    Alice had her arms crossed, and she dug her fingers on her palm with enough strength to make it bleed.


    ''''It''s alright,'''' Isaac said gently, and the girl soon stopped crying¡ª with embarrassment, she wiped her tears and hid her face in Isaac''s chest.


    There are suddenly over dozen strangers in her room!


    Isaac looked towards his family and said, ''''Why are you here?''''


    ''''You went missing.'''' Isabe said coldly, ''''Why didn''t you have your phone with you? We couldn''t use the tracker.''''


    Isaac searched his pockets, and then he remembered that he had changed clothes in the morning.


    His phone was in the pocket of his previous pants.


    But then he remembered one thing, ''''Tracker?'''' Isaac frowned.


    Isabe whistled innocently.


    Isaac sighed and rubbed his forehead.


    ''''Big brother. Who is she?'''' Alice asked with a poker face, but the rage can be felt from her.


    ''''Ah, right.'''' Isaac turned his gaze towards the shy girl, ''''I didn''t get your name.''''


    She looked shyly around the room¡ª she moved her head towards Isaac''s ear and whispered, ''''My name is Luna.''''


    ''''Luna...'''' Isaac said quietly.


    ''''What is yours?'''' Luna asked with a nervous heartbeat. She could feel Isaac''s hot breath on her neck, making her pale face redder.


    ''''Isaac,'''' Isaac replied.


    ''''Isaac...'''' Luna said quietly, printing that name on her mind.


    ''''Who is she?'''' Alice asked impatiently¡ª she gritted her teeth seeing the two whispering with each other with such intimacy.


    Luna stopped hugging Isaac and lowered her head shyly.


    She used the nket to cover her body, and she wished that the nket was bigger so that she could hide her whole body.


    ''''Her name is Luna. I met her not long ago.''''


    Maxwell nodded and saw the Legendary VR Helmet.


    He looked towards Luna with a curious expression¡ª he had a hunch that this innocent girl wasn''t very ordinary.


    ''''Isaac, I think we should return,'''' Isabe said gently.


    Alice nodded firmly.


    Isaac sighed and stood up.


    ''''Y-You are leaving?'''' Luna asked with a dejected face.


    Isaac sadly smiled and nodded, ''''It was nice meeting you¡ª I hope we meet again.''''


    ''''O-Oh, okay...'''' She watched as Isaac and others left the room.


    Isaac took another nce towards her and locked gazes with her.


    Luna waved her frail hand.


    Isaac smiled and left the room.


    Luna sighed and lied down on the bed. She is alone once again but in White Online... She can forget all about it.


    She put the VR Helmet on her head and closed her eyes.


    She might not be able to leave the hospital because of her illness, but in White Online, she can do anything.


    ...


    Isaac and others reached the Whitelock Residence.


    Alice, Marvin, and Mark left for school.


    Isabe and Maxwell left for work.


    Maxwell is the CEO of Whitelock Company, while Isabe is a clothing designer and a very sessful one.


    Her clothes are being sold worldwide, and it isn''t farfetched to say that she earns as much as Maxwell''spany.


    But, now Maxwell''spany invested in White Online, and it will be make it or break it for theirpany.


    Either theirpany will be stuck in Wintend, or they can spread to other Continents and improve their profits by a hundredfold.


    Isaac waved his hand as others left.


    He was left alone, except there were hundreds of bodyguards and servants taking care of the mansion.


    He entered the mansion and took off his winter jacket, and put it on the hanger. He put his shoes on the shoe rack, but after that, he didn''t go upstairs¡ª instead, he walked past the stairs and walked to the end of the corridor where one door was located.


    After the door was opened, arge room, which looked like a gym, became visible. This was Whitelock''s personal gym, and there were already a dozen bodyguards exercising.


    They saw Isaac appearing¡ª they stopped what they were doing and bowed.


    Isaac nodded and went towards the dumbbells.


    He is athletic enough to run 2km without getting exhausted, but his physical strength is nonexistent.


    He took the 5kg dumbbells and started lifting them up.


    But, that alone gave him difficulties. He gritted his teeth and did squats while holding the dumbbell.


    Sweatdrops appeared on his delicate foreheads, and soon his face was drenched in sweat.


    ''''Huff... Huff...'''' He did 10 squats before he had to stop to catch a breath.


    ''''Young master.'''' Isaac turned his head and saw Michael and Richarding with tight shirts and pants, which outlined their perfect muscr bodies clearly.


    Isaac nodded with a tired expression, and then he asked, ''''W-Why doesn''t my strength increase?''''


    Michael wryly smiled, ''''Young master, I don''t know.''''


    They have done a training routine for Isaac, which should improve physical strength¡ª it has worked for every bodyguard so far.


    But Isaac is an exception.


    Isaac sat down on the floor with a defeated expression. His chest went up and down, and he tried to calm down his breathing.


    Michael offered a towel, which Isaac took with gratitude.


    He wiped his sweat from his face and from his corbone.


    ''''Young Master, you don''t need to be sad. Strength is not everything.'''' Richard mentioned.


    Michael nodded, ''''Your stamina is as great as bodyguards¡ª you need to use that to your advantage.''''


    Isaac listened to their advice¡ª he nodded with gratitude and stood up.


    ''''I will go take a snack¡ª you guys want any?'''' Isaac asked.


    Michael and Richard smiled and shook heads.


    Isaac left the gym and entered the kitchen.


    When he was about to open the refrigerator, a stinging pain appeared on his head.


    ''''Argh!'''' Isaac fell down on his knees¡ª he clutched his head in agony.


    The memories he wanted to forget resurfaced.


    Dozen people with ski masks on their faces and the sound of theirughter when their fists and kicks crushed his bones.


    Minutester, the headache disappeared, but the memories are still vivid in his mind.


    Ichiro had cold sweat pouring from his forehead.


    Isaac took a deep breath.


    ''''Oliver... Were you one of them?'''' Isaac''s eyes went cold.


    He wiped the dust from his pants and opened the refrigerator.


    That incident happened one year ago, and doctors thought that the trauma would hinder Isaac''s daily life for a long time.


    But, Isaac overcame the trauma in only 2 weeks! But, it doesn''t mean that it is overpletely.


    The doctors could only look with amazement as Isaac acted like nothing had happened.


    They even did brain scans if there were any damage there, but he waspletely fine... Except, he had to stay in a wheelchair for half a year.


    His parents with absolute determination wanted to find who were the men with ski masks, but they never found out. They haven''t stopped searching, and once they find out... Only hell awaits for the men with ski masks.


    But, now Isaac had a hunch that everything had to do with Oliver.


    With a firm look, he looked outside the window.


    He could get Marvin to gather his friends and storm towards Oliver''s house and make him suffer, but Isaac has other ns.


    He will use Oliver to find the identity of the men with ski masks. He wants to find their motive... And he wants to have his revenge by his own hands.


    Isaac is tired of being a weak and protected individual.


    Maybe after his revenge.... He can hold his head high.

 Chapter 39 - Contenders.

    Isaac finished his breakfast and went back to his room.


    The mansion was eerily quiet¡ª the only sound that came was from his footsteps and the distinct voices of servants.


    He didn''t go straight to the wardrobe to get his VR Helmet. He sat down on his desk and opened theptop.


    During the car ride, he remembered one thing.


    He started searching about Legacy Tournaments.


    Apparently, he is now Legacy Tournament Contender. He has small hopes of finding anything, but at least he tried.


    Isaac sighed and looked at the text on the screen [Nothing Found]


    There seem to be two other Tournament Contenders, maybe even more now.


    He thought that even one person would leak the news¡ª it can be one way to fame.


    Everyone would be curious about the so-called Legacy Tournament and might end up looking forwards to his forums, and who knows, if he was a streamer, his views would skyrocket.


    But, no one leaked anything.


    There have been a few leaking about some mundane things, which is quite known by now, but some stuff surprised Isaac.


    Apparently, there are items that give you XP boost, HP Restoring boost, and much more.


    XP boost is quite simple¡ª it gives more XP after each kill.


    HP Restoring boost will restore your HP quicker.


    Some people had Common ranked, and the HP got restored in only 9 minutes.


    The 1-minute difference can be huge, depending on the situation.


    For Isaac, waiting for 10 minutes with 1 HP was a nightmare¡ª he never knew when he could lose his life.


    Even 1 minute less would have made it much more bearable.


    XP boost is a dreame true for every yer, but apparently, it cannot be bought, at least not for now. It can be dropped by some Beasts, but it is a scarce thing to happen.


    Beasts are much more valuable than Wild Animals as well, they give much more White Coins and more XP, but they are stronger than the majority of yers.


    ''Should I...'' Isaac was biting his nails and thought about one important decision.


    Should he do his own forum post and tell about the Legacy Tournament...


    He highly doubts that anyone would believe it, but it might bring other Legacy Tournament Contenders'' attention.


    But... There is one big problem.


    Isaac shook his head and closed theptop.


    ''They will definitely hunt me down if they find out...'' Isaac sighed.


    He might lose the Tournament Contender title if he dies, or other yers will just hunt him down to make his level lower before the tournament.


    He cannot expect them to y fairly when Mythical Legacy is on the line.


    Isaac already saw how desperate Kornelius was to get a Godly Legacy.


    Some people treat Mythical Legacy as peak Legacy because Godly Legacy is just so rare that finding is harder than winning in the lottery.


    Isaac isn''t that interested in Legacies, even though it is life changing item.


    yers aren''t aware yet that getting Legacy is the easy part.


    Keeping it is the hard part.


    They cannot die as Legacy Holder¡ª otherwise, they will lose the Legacy, and someone else can get it.


    In the future, there will be a lot of Legacy Hunters trying to kill Legacy Holders so that their Legacies will return to the game.


    Isaac went to the bathroom, grabbed the pants he used yesterday, and took the phone from the pocket.


    The first thing he did was removing the tracker app from his phone.


    His mother hid it well, but Isaac still found it.


    He double-checked if there were multiple tracker apps, but there weren''t.


    Next was the thing he was most excited about.


    Surprisingly.


    It was time to enter White Online once again.


    He opened the doors of the wardrobe, grabbed the box, and opened it.


    A familiar blue VR Helmet was waiting for him.


    He grabbed the VR Helmet and lied down on his bed.


    ''''Phew...'''' Isaac took a deep breath and put the VR Helmet on his head.


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Legacies Awaits You!]


    ...


    Isaac opened his eyes, and an unfamiliar white ceiling appeared in his vision.


    He looked around the room, and now he remembered where he was.


    In his newly rented room.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    A message popped up in Isaac''s vision¡ª he didn''t even have time to stand up.


    [Legacy Tournament Commences in 6 Days 0 hour 3 minutes]


    [Contenders: 27]


    ''''27?!'''' Isaac shouted with disbelief¡ª he almost fell down from the bed.


    There was still 6 days left¡ª he felt like the number of participants in the tournament won''t be low.


    ''''This will be difficult...'''' He rubbed his forehead and stood up from his bed. He was wearing his in white t-shirt and brown leather pants.


    Isaac pressed a few buttons on the air, and his Chain Armor appeared on his body, covering every part of his skin except his face.


    He left his room and went to downstairs.


    The room was very quiet¡ª the only sound that came was from the creaking of the floor.


    ''''Be?'''' Isaac said aloud, but he didn''t receive a reply.


    ''''She must be out.'''' Isaac thought aloud and put his Inventory in front of him¡ª he saw that his keys was on the Inventory.


    He needs those if he wants to return to the house¡ª he doesn''t know how long Be will be out.


    He doesn''t really know what he will do either. Last night''s memory of carnage in Beast Forest made him reluctant to go here.


    Isaac left the house and started walking towards the exit of the neighborhood.


    He received a few raised eyebrows from the nearby civilians, they had never seen him after all, and the Chain Armor didn''t really fit Isaac''s innocent and adorable face.


    Soon, Isaac entered the gates of the neighborhood, where two guards was standing.


    They were different ones from yesterday, and they didn''t even blink as Isaac left the neighborhood.


    Even while walking, Isaac can see the massive mountain and the royal pce in the distance.


    It literally screams the word Majesty.


    It makes everyone feel small in front of the mountain, but it also makes the Royals look like Gods who are watching their citizens, like Gods are watching humans somewhere in the World of White.

 Chapter 40 - Golden Crown.

    Isaac walked down the busy streets until he reached a particr building that was bustling.


    At first, he didn''t care much, but then he noticed nametags floating above the individuals¡ª they were all yers!


    Isaac got more curious and started watching the scene.


    Hundreds of yers were lining up, waiting their turn to enter the building.


    The building was 2-floors with a massive backyard¡ª it wasn''t anything special or fancy, which made Isaac wonder, what is happening there.


    But then, he saw a sign on top of the building.


    [Golden Crown]


    On top of the words was a symbol of a golden crown, but also small [Guild] text in the crown.


    It was a Guild building!


    It was the first time Isaac saw a Guild, but it also seems to be a quite famous Guild.


    Isaac entered the line and tapped the shoulder of the yer in front of him.


    ''''Hmm?'''' The yer with the name Dusk turned his head with annoyance, but then he saw a pair of beautiful grey eyes gazing at him.


    He became speechless, but then Isaac opened his mouth, ''''Whose Guild is this?''''


    Dusk was brought of his stupor¡ª he coughed a few times and answered, ''''Guild Master of Golden Crown is yer called King Jonathan.''''


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac thanked him and left the line.


    Dusk looked at Isaac''s retreating back a few moments longer until he shook his head and turned his head back to the building.


    ''''King Jonathan... Never heard of him before, but he must be a famous yer.'''' Isaac thought aloud.


    King Jonathan''s name reminded him of King us, who seemed to hate Marksman ss.


    Isaac stood on the sidelines, like dozen other NPC''s.


    The NPC''s wondered what kind of event was happening in that building, while Isaac guessed that the Guild must be recruiting more yers.


    The Guilds must be only 1 or 2 days old.


    They can''t have a lot of members yet.


    The line was getting longer and longer¡ª the news about Golden Crown is recruiting has been spreading in forums for quite some time now.


    Isaac had seen enough¡ª he turned around and left the busy streets.


    ...


    In the busy Guild Bulding.


    A figure with short blond hair and well-defined facial features was sitting on a chair, with dozen other individuals standing behind him.


    This figure had heavy iron armor covering his body with a pair of swords and shield lying down on the floor next to the chair. He is the Guild Master of Golden Crown, King Jonathan.


    Dozen people behind him were the Core Members of his Guild¡ª most of them were his own bodyguards or members from his father''spany.


    He is also a very experienced Beta Tester and sessfully managed to earn the title of ''King.''


    Not many understand the weight of King and Queen titles.


    There are only 10 individuals with King''s title.


    But, there are also 10 individuals with the Queen title.


    They were specially chosen in the Beta Tester program to be the symbol of light for humanity¡ª when it is time for Humanity to have their final stand, the Kings and Queens will be themanders of Humanity''s army.


    The amount of pressure on their shoulders isn''t light. Everyone''s hopes lie on them.


    Their fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, and everyone else who knows about the importance of White Online, is counting on them to find Godly Legacy and improve their Guild strength.


    Their Guilds has one job. To be the Core of the Army. Once the time hase, their Guilds will be united, and then Humanity has core to trust their lives on.


    King Jonathan looked solemn. He has seen over a hundred recruits, but not even one of them satisfied him.


    There were few Level 13 yers, but their battle prowess wasughable.


    Soon, another figure appeared in the room.


    It was a young man with short brown hair and a nervous-looking face.


    King Jonathan already felt disappointed seeing his level.


    [FuryBow - Level 10]


    ''''Speak.'''' King Jonathan said bluntly¡ª he doesn''t have all day to spend on these weaklings.


    ''''Y-Yes!'''' FuryBow said shakily, ''''I-I am Archer, a-and I am a user of Gold Helmet!''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' King Jonathan snorted and stood up.


    His athletic figure made FuryBow look small, like he was nothing but an ant.


    He grabbed his sword from the floor, ignoring the iron shield.


    ''''Show me what you got¡ª if you can''t satisfy me, you are disqualified.'''' King Jonathan said and stood in front of him.


    ''''Y-Yes!'''' FuryBow said shakily and grabbed his bow and quiver.


    His quiver had dosens of wooden arrows with iron tips.


    His hand shook quite a lot, but he knows his greatest advantage is long range.


    Without further ado, he used his agility and special stat Physique to retreat some distance away.


    King Jonathan didn''t move¡ª instead, he watched FuryBow''s movements.


    The way he took the arrows from the quiver and how he put them on the bowstring.


    He has seen one of the Kings whose ss is Archer doing it multiple times, and he knows if the yer is good just from simple things.


    But, FuryBow was an utter disappointment.


    His moves were clumsy, without any fluidity¡ª while he was trying to take the arrow from the quiver, it almost looked like he tried to use all his strength to pull the arrow out.


    King Jonathan''s eyebrow twitched, ''These fucking clowns...''


    FuryBow put the arrow on the bowstring and aimed towards King Jonathan.


    FuryBow''s hand trembled, and his posture was a mess¡ª it looked like a clown trying to do a circus trick.


    *SWOOSH*


    The arrow left the bowstring, and it flew straight towards King Jonathan. The only reason why it even flew towards King Jonathan is because the aiming in this game is easier, but in real life... The arrow wouldn''t even leave the bowstring, let alone fly.


    King Jonathan remembers one of the Kings whose ss was Archer shooting a bow. The arrow left the bowstring like it was a missile¡ª it has great difference when someone actually knows how to use a bow and the way FuryBow''s does it.


    FuryBow looked at the arrow flying towards King Jonathan.


    He looked thrilled, ''That will definitely hit!''


    But, his dreams were crushed soon.


    King Jonathan swung his sword and shed the arrow in half.


    ''''H-How?!'''' FuryBow eximed, ''How can he sh something that fast?''


    *SWOOSH*


    King Jonathan appeared in front of FuryBow in the blink of an eye.


    He swung his de and separated FuryBow''s head from his shoulders.


    [DEAD]


    FuryBow instantly died, without being able to evenprehend that he just died.


    King Jonathan snorted and took the items FuryBow dropped.


    ''''Young master, was that necessary?'''' One of the men in the room asked.


    King Jonathan put the sword back on the Inventory and sighed, ''''Sorry, just annoyed that we haven''t found anyone good!''''


    ''''Patience, Young master.''''


    King Jonathan sighed and went back to his seat.


    He has still over two hundred recruits left.


    But he isn''t the only one who is busy.


    All the Kings and Queens are recruiting people for their Guilds.


    Because they had to be there... They can''t hunt any more XP until the recruitment is over¡ª that gives other yers time to catch up.


    That''s why, the first few days since the game was released, they barely slept and kept ying.


    Now.... All of their levels were on 18-20!

 Chapter 41 - Krystal.

    Isaac wandered in the streets.


    Since he left the Golden Crown Guild building, he decided to look at the scenery of the Stronglord¡ª maybe he finds something to do.


    He would like to grind XP, but he would be lucky enough to survive if he went to the Beast Forest. yers have already assembled their party''s.


    It is not a ce for solo yers to go anymore. All the weaker Beasts have been killed, and only Beasts with much higher levels than Isaac remained.


    There is a timespan when the weaker Beasts respawns, but it is two dayster, and even then, he probably won''t even get a single kill.


    While he was daydreaming, he didn''t notice that he had walked towards one of thergest buildings in Stronglord.


    Isaac walked towards the gates of therge building, and in the yard of the building, hundreds of men was practicing with swords.


    In front of the gates, a stoic-looking man was standing with a clipboard.


    A nametag floated above him.


    [Krystal - Army Instructor]


    [Level: 91]


    He had small brown hair with a muscr build and well-defined facial features. He had a sharp nose and cheekbones, but there was one thing very unique about him. He was missing his left ear!


    He watched as the soldiers trained, but then he felt a presence approaching the gates.


    He turned his body around and saw a beautiful individual with chain armor walking towards him, obviously not paying any attention to where he was walking.


    Krystal was about to turn the beautiful individual around, but then he saw pouches hanging from his waist.


    ''He is... Smart one.'' Krystal now looked inquired about this individual. He knows that the so-called yers have a special ability that lets them take items from the air, but he always thought that it was inefficient in the battle¡ª it is better to have your ammo visible so you can know how many bullets you have left.


    But, he also feels like it is slower than taking items from the pouch or from the pocket.


    ''''Hey, young man!'''' Krystal said with his stoic voice.


    Isaac flinched and looked around him, ''When did I get here?''


    ''''Young man, are you interested in bing a soldier?'''' Krystal said with crossed arms.


    Isaac finally noticed the burly man, but then he widened his eyes in shock.


    ''''Y-You know I am a boy?!''''


    ''''Of course, your face can''t hide your manly traits. Some people with weaker will might be distracted by your face, but you are clearly a man!'''' Krystal said with a confident expression.


    Isaac looked thrilled¡ª he almost felt like crying.


    ''''Well, young man. Are you interested?''''


    ''''Interested in what?'''' Isaac asked¡ª he didn''t hear Krystal''s previous words.


    ''''Bing a soldier,'''' Krystal repeated calmly.


    ''''Soldier... Why me?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    Krystal pointed at the pouches, ''''You have obviously good wits, and that is desperately needed in the military.''''


    Isaac looked at the pouches on his waist, and he thought it would be obvious to put them there to reload quickly and to see how many bullets he has left.


    After all, he doesn''t have a limited amount of bullets, and he needs to know if he needs to carefully use his bullets, so they won''t end.


    ''''So, what do you think? Soldiers earn good money. Recruits earn 3000 White Coins every month!''''


    Isaac sighed and scratched his cheek. He doesn''t really want to be a soldier. He wants to be more of an adventurer.


    ''''I am sorry. I have to decline.'''' Isaac bowed and said with sadness. He feels like Krystal is a good man¡ª refusing him made him feel bitter.


    Krystal didn''t look offended¡ª instead, he gently smiled, ''''Excellentd. Well, you don''t have to join. But, do you want to join the training?''''


    ''''Training?'''' Isaac looked towards the hundreds of recruits training with swords.


    ''''You must be using a gun, correct?''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''We have firing range here. Do you want to see it?'''' Krystal asked and pointed at therge building in the distance.


    Isaac nodded and started following behind Krystal.


    They went past the training yard.


    The soldiers stopped training and saluted towards Krystal, who returned the salute with his own.


    Isaac''s figure garnered quite a lot of attention, but soon the soldiers received angry shouts from other Instructors.


    Krystal and Isaac entered the building.


    They didn''t stay in the building¡ª instead, there was another exit in the building, which took them into arge yard with dozens of targets 50 meters away from them.


    ''''What is your choice of weapon?'''' Krystal asked.


    Isaac took his Flintlock from the Inventory and gave it to Krystal.


    Krystal looked at the Flintlock and nodded, ''''Good gun.'''' He said and gave it back to Isaac.


    Isaac took it and looked at the targets in the distance.


    He has never tried shooting a target from fifty meters.


    ''''Do you want to try?'''' Krystal asked.


    Isaac nodded¡ª he took a few steps forwards and stopped in front of a red line.


    ''''Phew...'''' Isaac took a deep breath¡ª he pointed the Flintlock on the target and closed his left eye.


    Krystal looked at his stance and at his breathing.


    Isaac''s finger started closing on the trigger¡ª he did a few minorst moment changes and pressed the trigger.


    *Bang*


    Krystal and Isaac watched as the bullet flew in the air towards the target.


    The barrel of the Flintlock smoked, which hindered Isaac''s vision slightly, but soon the smoke cleared, and Isaac saw how did it go.


    ''''Ahh...'''' Isaac scratched his head.


    The bullet missed the target!


    It was 1 cm away from hitting the target, but he was far away from hitting the bullseye.


    With embarrassment, he looked towards Krystal. He thought that he was pretty good, but he seemed to be wrong.


    ''''How long have you been using Flintlock?'''' Krystal asked.


    ''''Uhh... Few days.''''


    Krystal''s eyes almost popped from their sockets, ''''F-Few days?!''''


    Isaac scratched his cheek and nodded.


    ''Am I that bad?''


    He thought that Krystal was shocked because he has been using few days and still couldn''t hit a target.


    ''He is genius!'' Krystal cried in his mind.


    *Cough* *Cough*


    Krystal coughed a few times and nodded, ''''I saw a few mistakes in your stance and in breathing¡ª if you fix them, then your uracy should increase.''''


    Isaac nodded, but he didn''t know how to change his stance or breathing.


    ''''Do you want me to train you for today?'''' Krystal asked.


    Isaac''s eyes sparkled, and then messages popped up in front of him.

 Chapter 42 - Library.

    Krystal switched his Army Instructor mode on.


    ''''First lesson, breathing!'''' He said sternly.


    Isaac nodded, they were still in the firing range, and they were all alone. Most of the soldiers are currently having their swordsmanship training.


    ''''Your breathing was alright, but it was not great! Your breathing can move the Flintlock just enough to throw off your shot¡ª I think that''s what happened during your shooting.''''


    Isaac listened closely¡ª he sucked every information he got into his brilliant brain.


    ''''Let''s try the first method. Try shooting one more time, but this time, try first breathing method.'''' Krystal said and stepped aside.


    Isaac nodded and walked towards the red line¡ª he went into his shooting stance and waited for more instructors.


    ''''Draw a deep breath and exhale only half of it. Then hold your breath as you squeeze the trigger.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Phew.'''' He took a deep breath, and when he started exhaling it out, he only exhaled half out.


    Then, he held his breath and pressed the trigger.


    *Bang*


    The bullet left the barrel, and this time Isaac felt like it felt much morefortable.


    *Bam*


    The bullet hit the edge of the target board!


    ''''It worked!'''' Isaac looked amazed.


    Krystal nodded, ''''Let''s try the second method.''''


    Isaac nodded and waited till the Flintlock was ready to be reloaded.


    18 secondster, he reloaded the Flintlock and went into his shooting form.


    ''''Take several deep breaths. Then squeeze the trigger after you exhale one breath and before you inhale the next breath.''''


    Isaac nodded and started taking several deep breathes.


    Then, he exhaled one breathe and instantly pressed the trigger.


    *Bang*


    The bullet left the barrel like a cannon, and this time it hit the target as well, around the same spot as previously.


    Krystal nodded, ''''Well done. Which one was better to use?''''


    Isaac pondered for a moment¡ª he replied a few momentster, ''''The first one, it felt quicker as well.''''


    Krystal''s mouth curved into a small smile, ''''Then, you should use it.''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''I have seen you rxing after you take a shot, don''t do that.'''' Krystal reminded.


    ''''Why?'''' Isaac tilted his head.


    ''''Keep the trigger pressed for a few seconds longer after the bullet left, and keep your posture. It will help your uracy, but keep in mind that I am only talking about firing a gun. Anything can happen in the battle, and you need to be prepared to be versatile.''''


    Isaac nodded.


    Krystal put arms behind his back and mentioned, ''''I am only teaching you to shoot the gun, I don''t teach you to battle with it, everyone has their own way of battling, and copying someone might be inefficient.''''


    Isaac looked at his Flintlock, ''Battle style...''


    ''''We have a few hours before the soldierse to have their daily shooting practice, till then, let''s see can we improve your stance.''''


    Isaac nodded and for the next few hours spent time with Krystal on the firing range.


    His uracy was improved by miles, and one of the shots already managed to hit the bullseye.


    Krystal couldn''tprehend the talent this young man in front of him possesses¡ª he is definitely the best student he ever had!


    After the soldiers arrived, Krystal and Isaac left the firing range, and at first, Isaac thought it was the end of the training, but he was wrong.


    Krystal took him to the nearby Public Library.


    The library already had people of every age, but there was open seats avable.


    ''''Wait for a moment,'''' Krystal said as Isaac sat on the chair with a small desk in front of him.


    Isaac nodded and watched as Krystal went to search for books.


    Shortly afterward, Krystal came back with four books.


    He put three of them in front of Isaac and sat on the other side of the table¡ª he started reading one of the books about Commanding an Army.


    Isaac took the first book, and the text was [Terrain of Beast Forest]


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac got curious and started reading.


    The book was about the different terrains Beast Forest has. It interested Isaac quite a lot because apparently, the edges of the Beast Forest have very soft ground, which makes mobility extremely difficult, especially for the people with heavy armors.


    A few hourster, he finished the book and grabbed the second one.


    [Battle Tacticts]


    Isaac breezed through the book, and it was fascinating to read about so many different strategies¡ª sometimes even he couldn''tprehend how someone could find such a way to defeat their enemies. It even seemedughable, but they still worked.


    The third book was named [Importances of Physique]


    It told what was important during the battles. Strength and Stamina were important during the Wars.


    Agility and Stamina were important in battles against Beasts. Human strength cannot be stronger than Beasts of the same level, which means that humans have to adapt and use different ways to defeat their enemies.


    That''s where Agility and Stamina appeared. Beasts couldn''t use their four limbs as freely as humans, which made Agility extremely important.


    But, what made Isaac surprised was that the book also talked about the third thing. Intelligence.


    Book said that don''t expect to be able to beat your enemies with brute strength alone. Intelligence and trickery are an important part of defeating your enemy.


    Isaac looked fascinated¡ª he agrees with everything¡ª he would have died many times without being cunning.


    Soon, he finished reading it as well.


    ''''What do you think?'''' Krystal said and closed his book. He had a calm smile on his face as he looked at Isaac''s excited face.


    ''''I have now wider knowledge about everything. Thank you.'''' Isaac stood up and bowed.


    Krystal chuckled and waved his hand, ''''Don''t mention it. I know that you will find the best ways to utilize these tactics.''''


    Isaac nodded firmly, ''''I won''t disappoint you.''''


    Krystal chuckled¡ª he stood and patted his shoulder, ''''Farewell, Good luck in your endeavors.''''


    Isaac watched as Krystal left. He only trained him for less than a day¡ª he still learned a lot!


    *Ding* *Ding*


    A messages popped up in front of Isaac.

 Chapter 43 - School Of Snowstar.

    School of Snowstar was one of the most beautiful buildings in the entire City of Snowstar.


    There were three differentrge buildings, one for middle school students, one for high school students, and one for teachers.


    The school is called as Heart of Snowstar, because the three buildings made arge triangle in the center of Snowstar.


    In the yard, youthful teenagers talked andughed with their friends, and behind the school, in the so-called Temple of Confessions, it is not a rare sight to see dozens of young men and women confessing their love for other individuals.


    This is thest stop before adulthood, and many have the mindset to enjoy their youth before it ends.


    In a ssroom of 1-A.


    The room was full of loud young men and women talking with each other happily, but in the front seat of the ss, a beautiful ck-haired young girl was seen sitting.


    Even while sitting and reading a book, she earned looks from both young men and women.


    She had beautiful long ck hair with bright blue eyes and soft-looking lips with a petite body. She is Isaac''s little sister, Alice.


    She was reading a book titled [How to be the Best Little Sister in the world!]


    The concentration level on her face was maxed, and no one dared to interrupt her.


    But then, three individuals entered the ssroom and walked towards Alice.


    After they entered, the loud ssroom grew quiet.


    ''''Hey, Alice.'''' A young man with short ck hair and handsome face said with a gentle smile on his face. He had well-defined facial features with a straight nose and piercings on his ears. Even though he looked delinquent, the attention he got from the young women in the ss didn''t lessen.


    Alice looked at him, ''''Oliver.'''' She said simply with visible disgust on her face.


    Oliver didn''t mind the look she gave her¡ª he gently smiled and asked, ''''I heard Isaac visited a hospital, is he alright?'''' His face showed his worry.


    Alice turned her head back to the book and answered, ''''He is fine.''''


    ''''That''s good to hear.'''' Oliver breathed a sigh of relief, ''''He is, after all, my best friend¡ª I hope he is fine.''''


    ''''Hmm.'''' Alice hummed and concentrated on the book again.


    Oliver smiled and left the ssroom with his two friends.


    After he left the ssroom, his gentle face turned cold.


    The corridors were filled with students entering their sses or talking with their friends from other sses.


    Two of his friends followed behind Oliver as they left the area of the first year students.


    Soon, they entered the third year''s area and went straight towards their ssroom 3-A.


    It should have also been Isaac''s ssroom if he didn''t drop out.


    Oliver sat on his seat in the corner of the ssroom, and two of his friends stood next to him.


    ''''Even after year... Isaac is still the main interest of everyone.'''' Oliver bit his lip with strength which caused his teeth to pierce through his flesh.


    But, he didn''t seem to mind¡ª the anger in his eyes overcame the pain.


    Two of his friends decided to stay quiet. Oliver always loses control of his emotions when Isaac is mentioned.


    Shortly afterward, Oliver''s attention was stolen by an individual who was walking with three of her friends.


    A lovely young woman in her 18s entered the ssroom. She had beautiful long white hair with delicate-looking eyebrows, long eyshes, and a pointy nose. Her face looked innocent, but her body was far from it. The school uniform''s outline greatly changed because of her ample breasts, and she was wearing pair of kneesocks which reached all the way to her knees but left her smooth-looking thighs wide open.


    Oliver wiped the blood from his lips and gently smiled towards the beautiful young woman, ''''Hey, Amelia.''''


    Amelia turned her lovely face towards Oliver and did a small smile.


    She sat on her chair while her friends surrounded her table.


    She is School Belle of the third year, while Alice is the first year''s.


    Oliver''s fingernails dug inside his palm¡ª if he was Isaac, Amelia would have almost thrown herself at him.


    Since young, he was a childhood friend of Amelia, and their families were close friends. Since young, Amelia was already a very cute individual, which made Oliver infatuated with her.


    He watched as Amelia was talking with her friends with a smile on her attractive face, but Oliver felt like her smile was fake. He knows almost everything about Amelia, and he knows that currently, Amelia is hiding her sadness.


    Something must have happened which caused her sadness.


    Her eyes was also slightly red, she had cried not long ago, but her friends didn''t notice it. It is very hard to notice, but Oliver can instantly tell if Amelia has changed her makeup or if she is feeling down.


    It is a result of ten years of observation and obsessiveness.


    Oliver didn''t know that Amelia''s sadness was the result of yesterday''s call with Sophia.


    But, he had a hunch that it had something to do with Isaac.


    After that one day... When the incident happened.


    Amelia was truly depressed.


    Only after a year, she learned to smile again, but she wasn''t the only one who was depressed. It was like the whole school entered a time of darkness.


    That happened, day after Isaac''s incident.


    It wasn''t a minor incident¡ª it affected everything. The days felt dark and gloomy.


    Only afterst semester ended, after Oliver and Amelia entered the third year, the usual cheerfulness of students returned. A big part was the news that Isaac had recovered from his injuries, and some hoped that he would return to the school.


    But it didn''te as a surprise when Isaac dropped out.


    Soon, a certain group in the school started rising.


    Cult of White.


    The President of Cult of White quickly managed to remove the gloomy air in the school after news about Isaac''s dropping out from school came.


    Still, no one knows her true identity. She has always been seen wearing white robes in the meetings, and sometimes she is seen walking in the corridors with other members of Cult of White.


    The only thing people know about her is that she is definitely a female.


    But her identity has been a perfect mystery...


    No one knows who she is...


    And no one knows the limit of her obsessiveness....

 Chapter 44 - Beast Forest.

    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac pondered where to put the Stat Points, but then his eyes lingered on the HP bar.


    ''''I need HP...'''' Isaac tapped the Vitality bar and put all 10 Stat Points on it.


    [VIT: 26 -> 36]


    After that, he nned to leave the library, but Krystal left the three books in front of him, and he didn''t know what to do with them.


    But, soon, the game chose for him.


    [Terrain of Beast Forest Book Acquired!]


    [Battle Tactics Book Acquired!]


    [Importances of Physique Book Acquired!]


    The three books glowed a few seconds longer and was soon teleported into Isaac''s Inventory.


    ''''I can keep them? Nice.'''' Isaac stood up with a small smile and left the library.


    He started walking in the busy streets once again, and even though he spent 5 hours with Krystal, in his opinion, it was worth it.


    5 hours can be enough to level up, and Isaac managed to do that, but for some top yers, getting 1500 XP in only 5 hours is terrible performance.


    But Isaac also received Stat Points for Precision and Charm.


    He isn''t sure why he received Charm, and he doesn''t know what use it has, but he is pleased to receive Stats for Precision


    Also, Isaac''s aiming has improved by leaps.


    He is finally feeling confident in going to the Beast Forest.


    There are two ways yers can go to the Beast Forest. The first way is to go on foot, but it will take much longer.


    The second way is to go with a Carriage, and it will be twice as fast, but it is expensive, especially for parties, but luckily Isaac is alone, and he is sure that he has enough money.


    Usually, the Carriage drivers are on standby on the Gates of Stronglord¡ª it is the easiest way to gain money. Stronglord is a veryrge ce, and some are willing to pay for carriage drives and not spend a few hours walking.


    But, after the yers'' appearance, the carriage drivers'' wealth has increased by miles, and that made them grow arrogant.


    After all, they earn more than the soldiers, which is a big feat.


    Half an hourter, Isaac saw the Gates of Stronglord and a dozen carriages waiting.


    He saw yers arguing with the Carriage drivers, but they looked unfazed.


    Isaac had a bad feeling about this, but he walked to the nearest carriage driver.


    ''''Excuse me,'''' Isaac said while looking at the nametag [Rufus]


    ''''Hmm?'''' Rufus opened his eyes and saw a beautiful white-haired individual looking at him.


    ''''How much is trip to Beast Forest?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''You are alone?'''' Rufus asked with his arms crossed.


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''Hmm... Let''s see.'''' Rufus pondered for a moment before answering, ''''1000 White Coins.''''


    ''''1000?!'''' Isaac eximed, ''That''s like two weeks of payment of my rent!''


    Rufus snorted and waved his hand, ''''If you don''t have money, piss off.'''' He smugly crossed his arms.


    ''Are these guys morons?!'' Isaac internally screamed, ''They could earn so much more if they would actually ept customers!''


    Isaac clicked his tongue and asked the prices of other drivers, but it only kept increasing.


    He left the Stronglord through the Gates with his face red in anger.


    ''''Did everyone drop their brain somewhere?'''' Isaac with anger started walking towards the Beast Forest. It would take a few hours by foot, less if he ran there.


    Isaac pressed a few buttons in the Interface, and the chain armor entered his Inventory.


    Now he was wearing only the in white t-shirt and brown leather pants. He started running towards the Beast Forest.


    He took off the armor because it might exhaust him faster, and he doubts that there are actually animal attacks outside the forest.


    The road he was using is the most used road in Stronglord, and thousands of yers and NPC''s alike use it every day.


    He was confident enough to run without armor, even if his defense are nonexistent and if he is attacked, most likely he won''t have enough time to equip the armor.


    ''''Huff... Huff...'''' After an hour of running, Isaac''s forehead was drenched in sweat, and his breathing had be rough.


    There was some pain in his heart, but this wasn''t nothingpared to the training he did with his bodyguards, and after another ten minutes of running, he arrived at the Beast Forest.


    Isaac stopped in front of the forest to catch his breath.


    It took him 1 hour and 10 minutes nonstop running to get there.


    By walking, it would be 2 hours, and with a carriage, it would be 1 hour.


    Isaac leaned on the tree and put his chain armor on.


    He didn''t see any sign of yers or Beasts, but he heard distinct sounds of fighting and screams.


    He didn''t enter for another few minutes, not until his breathing had be stable.


    Soon, the pain disappeared, and so was his exhaustion.


    Isaac took his Flintlock Pistol from the Inventory and entered the forest.


    The first thing he noticed in the forest was that the ground was indeed soft!


    ''That book was right...''


    Soon, he entered the first spacious space with not that many trees, and there he saw at least 30 yers fighting against three Beasts.


    Isaac watched and was sure that there were at least 5 different parties trying to steal the kills.


    The Beasts were suffering and couldn''t do anything except being the prey.


    The different parties kept arguing with each other, and after the kills happened, Isaac was sure that there will be total carnage between the yers.


    If they can''t get the XP from the Beast, then they will get XP from the other yers!


    Doesn''t matter which party gets the kills¡ª the end result will be the same.


    Isaac looked thoughtful, but then he saw leaves dropping around him.


    The leaves left the nearby trees andnded on the soft ground.


    Isaac turned his head towards the top of the tree and saw a man with a dark cloak watching the fight like a hawk.


    Isaac slowly started walking backward, trying not to make any noise¡ª once he was far enough, he hid behind the tree and looked at the dark cloaked figure.


    ''Are there more yers?'' Isaac thought that since this was pretty much the first ce in the forest, there might be more than one yer looking to kill steal.


    But, this ce isn''t only an entrance to the forest, but this is mostmonly used.


    ''Hmm... How should I do this?'' Isaac''s brows furrowed, and he thought about his next course of action, but he didn''t have any idea that he was the target of someone else!


    Some distance away, on top of one of the trees, a man with a cold-looking face was gazing at Isaac. He had pair of revolvers strapped on his waist and a dark cloak surrounding his body.


    It was the usual getup of a Hitman!

 Chapter 45 - Death.

    A nametag floated above the Hitman''s head.


    [OneShot]


    OneShot''s face was cold as ice¡ª he was holding his revolver in his other hand while his second one was still in his gun holster.


    Every ss has different weapons avable¡ª Isaac wasn''t aware of it, but Flintlock was for the Marksmen, that is another reason why Marksman ss is not very liked.


    The Revolver has only 10 second reloading time, while the Flintlock has 30.


    The Revolver also has two bullets instead of 1! But OneShot has an upgraded revolver with 3 shots and the old version with 2 shots.


    In total of 5 shots! While Isaac has only 3, two in the Umon Flintlock and 1 in the older one.


    Hitman also has better Special Stat¡ª Instinct is a very versatile ability, it lets him survive better, and it is especially strong duringbat.


    OneShot saw Isaac holding his Flintlock pistol, he had killed a few Marksmen previously, and everyone had the same weakness, the reloading time.


    One bullet most likely won''t be able to kill him¡ª headshot would be a different case.


    But, the Hitman ss has weaknesses as well. It is Shooter ss, but it doesn''t have shooting rted special stat, which made the aiming with Hitman ss extremely difficult, and since the game is new, OneShot hasn''t learned to shoot from far away yet¡ª that''s why he needs to sneak up and deal finishing blow from close.


    He was around 30 meters away from Isaac, which is still a distance he would miss from, and even if it would hit by miracle, it still isn''t enough to kill his opponent.


    But, OneShot increased his agility since the start¡ª he mostly ignored the other stats except for the Instinct. He used his agility stats and used the tree branches to get closer to Isaac, trying to be as quiet as possible.


    Soon, he arrived on the tree, which was right behind Isaac!


    He aimed his revolver towards Isaac''s head and started waiting for the best moment to shoot.


    Isaac was still looking at the dark-cloaked figure in the tree, having no idea that he was very close to death!


    Soon, the three Beasts were in, and all of them were killed by different parties, but two parties were left without any kills.


    With enraged looks, they started fighting against other parties.


    Isaac aimed his gun towards the dark-cloaked figure, who was about to throw his dagger towards the parties.


    He did the first breathing method, and his hand became steady¡ª he changed his posture the way Krystal taught him and squeezed the trigger.


    *Bang*


    The bullet left the barrel like a cannon, and the dark-cloaked figure couldn''t do anything except turn his head in shock towards the loud sound.


    *BAM*


    The bullet pierced his forehead, he died instantly.


    [You Killed yer Worming!]


    [150 XP Earned!]


    Isaac smiled and saw that the parties didn''t notice the loud sound¡ª he was about to grab the yer''s stuff, but then out of nowhere... His ears started ringing after a loud sound appeared.


    *Bang*


    Isaac went stiff and noticed blue liquid trickling down his face¡ª he touched his head and noticed that there was a hole in his forehead!


    He shakily turned his head towards one of the trees and saw a cold-looking individual pointing his revolver with a smoking barrel at him.


    Isaac''s body turned into pixels.


    OneShot smirked and started approaching the other parties.


    A message popped up in front of him.


    [You Killed yer Wraith!]


    [120 XP Earned!]


    ...


    ''I died?!'' Isaac screamed in his mind¡ª he didn''t even have time toprehend it before his vision became dark.


    A messages popped up in front of him.


    [You Have Died!]


    [You Have Been Killed By yer OneShot!]


    [Do you want to use Pearl of Resurrection?]


    [Yes/No]


    ''Pearl of Resurrection... Oh, right!'' Isaac eximed¡ª he now remembered that he got it from Hellsky!


    Isaac instantly pressed [Yes]


    Previously he didn''t even see his body, but soon his body started appearing¡ª first, his head appeared, then his torso, then his arms, and finally, his legs.


    His dark vision disappeared, and soon he found himself standing in the middle of the forest.


    ''Where...?'' Isaac looked around him, trying to find where he was, but soon... He heard the sound of fighting! He turned his head towards the north and saw a spacious space not far from him with parties fighting!


    He noticed that he was very close to the ce he died!


    He thought he would be respawned in his room, but he was wrong! The Pearl of Resurrection lets him respawn close to the ce he died at!


    Isaac became excited and quickly looked at his Inventory and Stats. He didn''t receive any penalties for dying!


    His Legacy Tournament Contender didn''t disappear, and all his items were on Inventory.


    He quickly put on his Chain armor and grabbed his Flintlock pistol.


    ''OneShot, huh...'' Isaac started slowly walking in the forest, trying to find the man who killed him.


    *Swoosh*


    Soon, he heard something very quick moving in the trees. Isaac turned his head towards the trees and saw a cold-looking individual using the branches. This time he didn''t go quietly¡ª he wanted to reach the parties before they killed each other.


    Isaac smirked and followed behind him.


    Soon, OneShot appeared in the closest tree and saw dozens of yers fighting not far from him¡ª he had his revolvers reloaded¡ª this time, he is trying to kill as many as possible before they notice his existence.


    There were over 30 yers previously, but now a little bit over dozen, every party had some casualties, which made the yers even angrier.


    They were swinging their weapons, healers tried to heal theirpanions, but they were easy prey for others.


    The ones with Shooter sses were the first ones to die¡ª they can''t fight against Fighter sses in close quarters.


    OneShot aimed the revolver towards a nearby healer who waspletely unaware of the peril she was about to face. She was trying to heal herpanions, who would have already died without her.


    Many tried to get rid of her, but her party members kept her safe.


    OneShot grinned, and his finger approached the trigger, but before he managed to press it... He felt something touching the back of his head.


    He recognized it as a gun!


    He paled and put his arms in surrender.


    ''''M-Mercy,'''' OneShot said with a shaky tone, but he had his revolver ready to shoot.


    ''''Shameless.'''' He heard a pleasant voice, but then he heard another sound.


    *Bang*


    Sound of a gun firing.


    OneShot felt his instincts going on overdrive! His survival instincts started doing their magic, but there is no way that he is able to dodge from point nk range.


    He paled and knew that he was going to die.


    He quickly turned his head in anger to see his attacker, but then he widened his eyes in shock as he found out the one who killed him!


    ''''H-How?'''' OneShot murmured and turned into pixels.


    Isaac smiled innocently while standing on top of a tree branch.


    A messages popped up in front of him.


    [You Killed yer OneShot!]


    [200 XP Earned!]

 Chapter 46 - Valuable Items.

    Isaac quickly grabbed the revolver, which was about to fall from the tree branch.


    He looked at the info of the weapon and was surprised to find out that it was Umon!


    OneShot dropped the upgraded revolver!


    That was the only thing OneShot dropped, Isaac tried to reload the gun, but messages popped up that the gun wasn''t avable for him.


    ''I can''t use it?'' Isaac didn''t really mind¡ª he threw it into his Inventory. Umon weapons can be sold for a lot of money.


    Only around 9 yers remained on the battlefield between parties. Isaac took another Flintlock pistol from the Inventory¡ª he can use two guns more efficiently because of the Dexterity stat.


    He only has one bullet in each of the Flintlock pistols after he used one bullet to kill OneShot.


    The HP of the yers was very low, and one bullet will be enough to kill them.


    Isaac turned his head towards the healer, who had only 9 HP!


    But then, Isaac had a brilliant idea. The Flintlock Pistols are too loud¡ª they will find out his location, but maybe... He can use the slingshot!


    He put the Flintlock pistols back on the Inventory and grabbed the wooden slingshot.


    It felt weird using it again, but Isaac soon remembered how to hold the slingshot properly, so that the uracy would increase. He took a rock from his pouch and put it on the rubber band.


    The healer was about to heal her friend, but then Isaac let go of the rubber band, and the rock started flying like cannon towards the healer.


    *Bam*


    ''''Ah!'''' The healer cried out and rubbed her head, but then out of nowhere, her body became pixels!


    [You Killed yer ke!]


    [100 XP Earned!]


    None of the yers noticed the sudden death of ke.


    Isaac put another rock on the rubber band and aimed towards nearby Knight!


    The Knight was wearing heavy armor, and Isaac noticed how sluggish his movements were because of the soft ground. The only reason he is alive is because his HP is over 200!


    But, his HP was currently only 15. Isaac needed two rocks to take his life.


    Two rocks hit the Knight''s head, and he could only blink nkly as he turned into pixels.


    [You Killed yer TankIsMyCalling!]


    [200 XP Earned!]


    Only seven yers remained.


    ''''UGH!'''' One of the yers fell down to the ground after one of the yers threw a dagger to his leg!


    The Assassin who threw the dagger wanted to make the finishing move, but out of nowhere, pair of rocks appeared and hit the Assassin in the head, killing him instantly.


    Two pairs of rocks flew towards the fallen yer, killing him as well.


    [You Killed yer Polo!]


    [200 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed yer SharpEdge!]


    [200 XP Earned!]


    Only 5 yers remained!


    All of them were part of different parties, and because of that, they were too focused on fighting each other and had no idea that the rain of rocks flew straight towards them!


    Isaac reloaded the slingshot with an incredible speed! He noticed that the Dexterity Stat helps him in reloading a lot!


    *Smack*


    *Smack*


    *Smack*


    *Smack*


    *Smack*


    The rocks hit the yers, and finally, they noticed that there was an outsider trying to steal the kills! They became enraged, but they didn''t notice that their HP went all the way down to zero because of the rocks, and all of them suddenly turned into pixels.


    Leaving a pile of weapons behind.

    _____________


    Isaac grabbed the items from the ground and put them on his Inventory.


    He received 2 wooden canes¡ª both were Common ranked¡ª he received 4 Iron Swords, 2 of them were Common, and 2 Umon. He also received 1 Iron Armor, Umon ranked, andstly, he received the three items dropped by the Beasts.


    Isaac looked at the info of the items and widened his eyes in shock.


    [Wolf Beast''s Fang - Umon]


    [Bear Beast''s w - Umon]


    [Fox Beast''s Tail - Rare]


    ''''Rare item!'''' Isaac eximed¡ª it was his first rare item, and he remembered the rare item sold in store¡ª it must be incredibly valuable! He isn''t sure did the yers notice what kind of rare item they received, but if they did, they would be fuming in anger.


    Isaac was thrilled and decided to leave the forest ASAP!


    But then... With the corner of his eyes, he noticed a bright item on the ground.


    Isaac curiously picked up the item, which was a ss bottle with blue liquid inside.


    [XP Boost Potion - Umon]


    [XP Boost Potion: Increases the XP received by 50%!]


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock. He resisted cheering aloud because he had no idea if there were yers around. If they saw a yer cheering, they would instantly know that he had received something valuable.


    ''''I wonder what the time limit is...'''' Isaac looked at the info, but it didn''t tell the time limit.


    He put it on the Inventory and quickly left the forest.


    His items are too valuable to be lost.


    But, now it is another problem at hand. He has no idea how to sell all these items.


    He looked at his own nametag, and it was bright red!


    He can''t enter City, and he can''t enter any Merchant Store there.


    It felt like his body weighed a ton after he put those items on his Inventory. He can earn tens of thousands of White Coins with these items!


    Isaac left the forest and looked towards the direction he came from. It will take a few hours for his red nametag to be removed, but he doesn''t really want to be around yers at the moment. He turned his head in the other direction.


    There was a road that went past the Beast Forest, but no one seemed to go there.


    Isaac hasn''t heard anything about Stronglord except about the Beast Forest, and he has no idea where that road leads to.. But Isaac felt his adventurous spirit rising, and with light steps, started walking on the road towards unknown territory.

 Chapter 47 - Goblin.

    Isaac walked for half an hour, and the Beast Forest was nowhere to be seen. He only saw the dirt road he was walking on and the grasnd surrounding the road.


    He still had the dark red nametag¡ª he thought that he needed at least 5 hours before it was at least orange.


    That gives him enough time to find new hunting ces. Everyone is focused on the Beast Forest because it is very near, and not even 1% of the forest has been explored, which makes it an excellent hunting spot.


    But, what is there is better one? Many have thought about that, but the maps show that the next forest is at least 10 hours away, it is not worth it to go there.


    Isaac didn''t n to go there either¡ª it is too far away.


    But, while he was walking, he thought about another exploit!


    Everyone has a mindset that you need to travel everywhere by foot or by carriage.


    But that''s where the rented roomse in handy! If Isaac logouts, and logs back in, he will find himself in his rented room!


    But, he can''t use that when his nametag is red¡ª otherwise, the Guards wille and arrest him.


    10 hours is still a significant loss, but Isaac is willing to spend that much time. He has 4 hours before his time limit is over.


    He made a decision. It could be extremely dangerous and not worth it, but he nned to start running there without his armor!


    The Chain Armor disappeared and entered his Inventory.


    Isaac stretched his legs and started running.


    The surroundings were quiet and calm. The wind blew and made his beautiful white hair flutter alongside the wind.


    He ran for another 2 hours until he became too exhausted to continue.


    He caught his breathing and felt like arriving at the forest before the time limit was very slim. He is sure that he won''t have time grinding XP there. He started feeling like the Bronze Helmet is too restrictive if he had Legendary... He could have more than enough time.


    He could arrive at the forest in 3 hours with nonstop running, but only 2 hours remained within the time limit.


    ''''I will never make it in time...'''' Isaac muttered with an exhausted expression. He looked around himself and turned his head towards the grasnd.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac looked where the road was leading to, and for some reason, it was taking a longer route than needed.


    He could run through the grasnd and save a lot of time!


    Isaac caught his breath and started running like he was possessed.


    It felt muchfortable running in the grass than in the hard dirt ground.


    That made his pace slightly faster.


    After an hour of nonstop running, he saw a majestic forest not far from him!


    ''''I-I have arrived!'''' Isaac looked thrilled and ran even faster.


    After another ten minutes, he entered the edge of the forest.


    Isaac slumped down on the ground¡ª his chest was moving up and down while he was trying to get rid of his exhaustion.


    Out of nowhere, messages popped up in front of him!


    *Ding *Ding*


    [You Have Discovered Forest of Unknown!]


    [Rewards: 500 XP - Title Adventurer]


    [Adventurer: Every new ce discovered will give the yer 300% more XP]


    [Wee to Forest of Unknown]


    [Level Limit: 10 - 100]


    Isaac stood up and patted the dirt from his pants. He put on his Chain Armor and grabbed Flintlock pistol from his Inventory.


    Only 50 minutes remain before the time limit.


    He also took another item from Inventory.


    [XP Boost Potion - Umon]


    Isaac opened the cap of the bottle and started drinking it.


    The blue liquid left the ss bottle and traveled through Isaac''s throat.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [XP Boost Potion used!]


    [50% XP Increase for next hour!]


    [59:59...]


    [59:58...]


    Isaac took a deep breath and entered the forest!


    He isn''t nning to risk his life¡ª he won''t fight against enemies he isn''t confident in defeating.


    The Forest of Unknown was way darker than other forests he had been in. The leaves and branches of the trees are blocking the sunlight, making the atmosphere of the forest very creepy and scary.


    But Isaac isn''t afraid.


    He only fears one thing in his life, and the dark forest, isn''t it.


    A few minutester, he exited the small portion of the forest and appeared in front of a small cave with distinct noisesing inside the cave.


    Isaac heard footsteps appearing from the cave, and soon... He widened his eyes in shock after finding out whose footsteps those were.


    It was a green-skinned individual with a very short body, almost looking like a child. He wasn''t wearing armor or weapon¡ª he waspletely defenseless.


    [Goblin - Level: 11]


    [HP: 111/111]


    ''''Krah?'''' The Goblin stopped walking and widened his eyes in shock. He saw a beautiful white-haired figure looking at him with the same shocked face.


    ''''Krah? KRAH!'''' The Goblin ran towards Isaac with his fists swinging.


    Isaac pointed his Flintlock towards Gobling and squeezed the trigger.


    *Bang*


    The bullet pierced the Goblin''s forehead, killing him instantly.


    The Goblin became pixels and dropped nothing. He didn''t expect a human to appear, which made himpletely defenseless.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [180 XP Earned!]


    The loud sound of gun firing echoed in the forest.


    Isaac heard screaming noises inside the cave.


    He quickly grabbed his second Flintlock pistol and aimed it towards the cave.


    Soon, two Goblins came with their wooden maces. They were slightly taller than the previous goblin.


    [Goblin - Level: 12]


    [HP: 120/120]


    [Goblin - Level: 13]


    [HP: 126/126]


    The Goblins screamed and started running towards Isaac with their short limbs, but they were very slow.


    Isaac pressed both of the triggers, and two bullets left the barrels.


    The first bullet pierced through the level 12 Goblin''s forehead.


    The second bullet pierced through the level 13 Goblin''s forehead, but he didn''t die!


    Isaac used his worse Flintlock pistol, which only caused 70 HP damage!


    The first Goblin turned into pixels, but the second Goblin appeared in front of Isaac and swung his mace!


    Isaac used his agility stat and jumped backward, barely dodging the mace.


    But then, a bunch of messages appeared in front of him.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [225 XP Earned!]


    Isaac first thought that the Goblin who attacked him died suddenly, but those messages came from the first goblin who died.


    The second Goblin started chasing after Isaac with bloodlust visible in his eyes.


    [Goblin - Level: 13]


    [HP: 56/126]

 Chapter 48 - Level 13.

    [11...]


    [23...]


    Isaac looked at the screen and saw that only 11 seconds remained before his Umon Flintlock was reloaded, and 23 seconds until his older Flintlock, but the Goblin didn''t let him escape that easily.


    He kept swinging the wooden mace, but the swings were quite sloppy and slow.


    Even though the Goblins is higher level than Isaac, it feels like the Goblin''s every stat is lower! But Isaac has a hunch that the strength stat might be enough to injure him gravely!


    He didn''t take risks and kept his distance.


    It would be ideal if he could climb to the tree, but the Goblin will make it in time to stop him.


    ''''Kra! Kru, Kru!'''' The Goblin suddenly started shouting, and Isaac went pale as four more Goblins appeared from the cave!


    [Goblin - Level: 11]


    [HP: 112/112]


    [Goblin - Level: 12]


    [HP: 119/119]


    [Goblin - Level: 12]


    [HP: 123/123]


    [Goblin - Level 13]


    [HP: 131/131]


    The Goblins used their short limbs and started running towards Isaac with their maces, ready to smash Isaac''s head in pieces.


    [6...]


    [18...]


    ''''KRA!'''' The Goblin screamed and swung the mace!


    Isaac grimaced and put his arm as a block, but the impact sent him flying.


    ''''UGH!'''' Isaac crashed on the nearby tree¡ª even though he didn''t feel pain, it felt like his breathing became much harder!


    The Goblin smashed the mace on the ground and started running after Isaac.


    [You Lost 77 HP!]


    Isaac grimaced after seeing the message popping up. He was correct¡ª the strength of the Goblins isn''t a joke!


    The Goblin was still 5 meters away from him¡ª his short limbs didn''t make his movement easy.


    Isaac groaned and stood up¡ªhe waited until the Goblin was close enough.


    The Goblin saw that the human stopped moving¡ª it looked like a slight smirk appeared on his face.


    He swung his mace in hopes of killing the foolish human!


    But, when the mace was about to hit Isaac, he quickly did a sidestep towards the left as a bunch of messages appeared in front of him.


    [0...]


    [Reloading Is Ready!]


    Isaac quickly took two bullets from his pouch and reloaded the pistol.


    ''''KRUH!'''' The Goblin screamed with a sound that would make children and babies cry.


    He turned his massive head, which didn''t hit his short body at all. He was ring at Isaac¡ª he swung his mace once again, but then his vision was blocked by the barrel of the Flintlock pistol.


    ''''Goodbye,'''' Isaac said and pressed the trigger.


    *Bang*


    The Goblin widened his eyes and turned into pixels.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [300 XP Earned!]


    The four Goblins screamed in anger, but they were still 10 meters away from Isaac.


    [5...]


    Only 5 seconds remained until his second Flintlock was reloaded.


    He pointed with his Flintlock pistol, which had only 1 bullet remaining, towards the Goblins¡ª he aimed it towards the strongest Goblin out of the four.


    *Bang*


    He squeezed the trigger and watched as the bullet pierced through the Goblin''s forehead.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [300 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 12 -> Level 13]


    The remaining Goblins were now only 5 meters away from Isaac.


    But, Isaac turned around and started running away, while the Goblins tried to catch him, but it was an impossible feat.


    Isaac started slowing down after noticing that the Goblins seemed to be too far away.


    [0...]


    [Reloading Is Ready!]


    He reloaded his Common Flintlock and stopped running.


    He waited as the fastest Goblin arrived 25 meters from him.


    Isaac did the first breathing method and aimed the Flintlock pistol towards the Goblin.


    *Bang*


    The bullet flew like cannon and pierced through the Goblin''s torso.


    [-56 HP]


    Isaac didn''t seem to mind the low HP. He threw it to his Inventory and took an Iron Sword.


    He remembered that Dexterity is a special stat for Swordsman!


    But, the Swordsman ss has special codes, which allows them to learn Swordsmanship skills and how to use the swords more efficiently.


    Marksman ss has same, it allows them to aim better.


    Isaac also realized that Shooter sses can''t use the same weapons as other Shooter sses, but they can use weapons from different ones, like from Fighter ss.


    He is certain that it must be because it is very difficult to use weapons from different sses, but if Isaac could use a revolver, he would be overpowered.


    Isaac is aplete newbie with a sword, but Dexterity stat allows him to use the sword somewhat. He held the iron sword on his left hand and his Flintlock on his right.


    The first Goblin arrived in the attacking range, he was about to swing his mace, but Isaac stabbed the sword forward!


    ''''KRUH!'''' The sword pierced through the Goblin''s throat, but when Isaac saw the damage, he waspletely shocked!


    [-1 HP!]


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac screamed and dropped the sword, he quickly retreated, and now he realized it.


    Shooter ss can''t deal enough damage with swords! Even if they hit a critical spot, the damage is very minimal!


    The Goblin took the sword from his throat and threw it towards the ground.


    He was angrier than ever before!


    Two other Goblins arrived and instantly attacked Isaac!


    Isaac dodged the first mace, but the second one hit him in the shoulder!


    *Smack*


    Isaded on the ground painfully¡ª he almost dropped his Flintlock pistol, which would been a catastrophe.


    [You Lost 65 HP!]


    The three Goblins went after him, and Isaac''s survival seemed very slim.


    But... Then salvation arrived.


    [0...]


    [Reloading Is Ready!]


    Isaac took two bullets with his shaky hands and reloaded.


    He quickly aimed the Flintlock pistol towards the first Goblin, who was already swinging his mace!


    *Bang*


    The bullet left the barrel and pierced through the Goblin''s heart!


    The Goblin turned into pixels, and his mace dropped in front of Isaac.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [180 XP Earned!]


    Two Goblins remained, but only 1 bullet!


    Isaac gritted his teeth and pointed towards the nearby Goblin, but then he saw that the second Goblin was running right behind the first Goblin, who was almost on attacking range!


    Isaac calmed down his nerves and closed his left eye¡ª he did the first breathing method and waited until the Goblin was right in front of him.


    *Bang*


    He squeezed the trigger and watched as the bullet pierced through the forehead of the first Goblin, but it didn''t stop there!


    The bullet also pierced through the second Goblin!


    They turned into pixels, leaving two maces behind.

 Chapter 49 - Statue.

    Isaac stood up with an exhausted face, ''''I almost died... That was idiotic of me...''''


    He sighed and moved his bangs out of the way. He saw wooden maces lying on the ground¡ª he looked at the info of the weapon and saw that it was only White ranked.


    ''''These would probably only give dozen White Coins... It is not worth it to waste Inventory space on these items.'''' Isaac tried to find other items the Goblins dropped, but they seemed to be very poor. They didn''t even drop potions, but Isaac knew that it was a very rare chance of happening.


    Isaac walked back to the cave.


    He didn''t hear any noises, but he still didn''t lower his guard. He had his reloaded Flintlock ready, but his worries were to no avail.


    He reached the end of the cave. There was only one campfire, a dozen sticks, a few wooden maces, and one small statue.


    Isaac curiously picked up the small stone statue.


    The stone statue had the curves of a woman, but her face seemed obscure. The hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she was carrying a bow with a quiver on her back. Her body was quite petite, and she seemed to wear some kind of dress, which gives her the best possible mobility, but it enhanced her looks, making her very beautiful.


    If the stone statue had facial features, Isaac would be certain that the woman would be a very lovely individual.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Isaac heard a familiar dinging noise in his ears and saw messages popping up.


    [You have discovered the Statue of Goddess Artemis!]


    [1000 XP Earned!]


    [Title of Adventurer Increases the XP by 300%!]

    [Level 14 -> Level 15]


    Isaac looked at the messages with mouth agape, but then another message popped up.


    [Statue of Goddess Artemis Acquired!]


    [Statue of Goddess Artemis - Legendary]


    ''''Legendary!'''' Isaac shouted with disbelief¡ª his first thought was about selling it to earn wealth beyond everyone''s expectations!


    But then, another message popped up, which made him look conflicted.


    [Goddess Artemis Trusts You To Keep The Statue Safe]


    [God Loki Rmends Selling It]


    Isaac looked at the statue one more time and put it on his Inventory.


    No one knows what decision he made. He sat down on the hard ground and looked at the time remaining.


    [41:40...]


    Only little bit over 41 minutes left until his timelimit is over.


    ''''Interface...'''' He murmured and decided to put his Stat Points before entering deeper inside the forest.

    Isaac decided to add the Stat Points for Precision first.

    __________________


    ''''Next stats I will put on agility...'''' Isaac murmured and stood up. He cleaned the dirt from his pants and left the cave.


    His HP was still very low, and it will take at least 5 more minutes before his HP is restored, and if he gets even scratched before that, he needs to wait another 10 minutes.


    But he doesn''t have any time left. Even waiting for his HP to get restored will waste valuable time.


    But, Isaac got a painful lesson from the Goblins. He underestimated them because of their slow speed, and that almost got him killed.


    Isaac didn''t want to take any more risks and decided to wait.


    5 minutester.


    A long-awaited message popped up.


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]


    [Your wounds have been healed!]


    ''''Finally.'''' Isaac stood up and started walking deeper inside the forest.


    Only 35 minutes remained until his time limit was up.


    He hopes to reach Level 16 before having to log out, but it seems very hard to achieve.


    ''''More Goblins, please.'''' Isaac hoped that he would meet more Goblins. They were easy XP, but he did stupid risks, but next time he will be more careful.


    The Forest of Unknown was still dark, but the sun was leaving the sky slowly. Soon, the Forest will be pitch dark, and that will make things extremely difficult.


    Isaac hasn''t tried shooting in the dark, but he is sure that night time is another weakness for Marksman.


    ''The game developers must have known the ws of this ss... But why aren''t they buffing it? At this rate, no one will use Marksman.'' Isaac thought to himself.


    He likes Marksman ss a lot, but he is painfully aware of all the weaknesses this ss holds.


    The advantage the Marksman ss had at the start is over¡ª yers will get stronger armor and weapons, their levels are also getting higher, making the Marksman ss advantages disappear more and more.


    The only good thing about Marksman is the ability to shoot from long range and the ability to deal much more damage than other sses.


    But Isaac is getting afraid that the things King us said wasing true. yers are getting faster, and the Flintlock pistols aren''t exactly quiet¡ª it gives them more than enough time to dodge the bullets.


    He again daydreamed and didn''t notice that he had exited the forest!


    Isaac noticed that the darkness around him had vanished¡ª he looked in front of him and saw a fascinating sight!


    In front of him was a small vige! Wooden fences surrounded the 100-meter area around the vige¡ª there were wooden huts and slightlyrger wooden building in the middle of the vige.


    Isaac heard distinct grunting noisesing from the vige and saw another message popping up.


    [You Have Discovered Goblin Vige!]


    [100 XP Earned!]


    [Title of Adventurer Increases the XP by 300%!]


    [100 -> 400 XP Earned!]

 Chapter 50 - Hobgoblin.

    The Goblin vige was swarming with short green-skinned creatures with big heads and long pointy ears. The vige was quite dirty because the Goblins doesn''t have any idea what hygiene meant. There were skeletons of different animals and beasts loitered in the ground while a dozen campfires were lit up.


    On top of the campfires, different animals were hanging, all had their skulls smashed in by some kind of blunt weapon. The Goblins were making food while saliva left their mouths.


    The sky was getting darker with each passing second, and the only light in the vige was from the campfires.


    The wooden door of thergest building in the vige was opened. A blue-skinned figure with leather pants and shirt left the building, he had an iron sword tied up on his waist, and a nametag floated above him.


    [Hobgoblin - Level: 19]


    [HP: 170/170]


    He was around 160cm in height, still smallpared to most of the humans, but much taller than the green-skinned Goblins.


    ''''Kruh!'''' The Hobgoblin pushed the Goblins away from the campfire¡ª he grabbed the dead wild boar from the campfire and started munching on it. He didn''t care about the bones, he ate them as well, and soon the entire animal was eaten.


    The Goblins were unhappy, and they started fighting for the rest of the animals.


    ''''Krah!'''' The Hobgoblin shouted and started stomping back to the wooden building.


    Soon, the rest of the animals were eaten, but not even half of the Goblins managed to get any food.


    ''''Kraah!'''' The Goblins started fighting with each other¡ª some even started biting each other. Many of them haven''t had food for days!


    Hobgoblin always eats thergest animal, which would have enough food to feed 50 Goblins!


    Few of the Goblins were critically injured¡ª they fell down on the ground and didn''t have the strength to get up.


    The rest of the Goblins was still fighting, and they didn''t notice a few rocks flying towards the fallen Goblins.


    Once the rocks hit them, they vanished into pixels.


    On top of one of the wooden huts, only a dozen meters away from the fighting Goblin, a beautiful white-haired individual was reloading his slingshot and waiting for the perfect moment to strike.


    A couple of messages appeared in front of him.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [225 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [225 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [225 XP Earned!]


    The Goblins kept mindlessly fighting with each other, not knowing that Death had arrived!


    Isaac put two rocks on the slingshot and fired them towards another Goblin who became too exhausted to keep standing.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [150 XP Earned!]


    The Goblins kept fighting until they noticed that something was very wrong!


    They looked around them and didn''t see other Goblins or even their corpses!


    They also saw rocks lying on the ground, and some even had green liquid on them. The rocks are flying with such velocity that the Goblin''s skulls were crushed, and the rocks were the evidence that Goblin had been killed with that!


    ''''Krah! Krah!'''' The remaining Gobles started screaming towards their fellowrades, but they didn''t receive a reply.


    Isaac had [XP: 425/3115] before he started the massacre, but now he has [XP: 2050/3315]


    Isaac anxiously looked at the time remaining [8.56...]


    Only less than 9 minutes remaining!


    Only three Goblins remained, but they were low HP.


    Isaac reloaded quickly with the help of Dexterity stat and quickly finished them off!


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [150 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [300 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [300 XP Earned!]


    ''''Only 415 remaining... There is only one remaining...'''' Isaac gulped and looked towards therge wooden building.


    The Goblins are dead!


    But Hobgoblin is still healthy.


    He dropped down to the ground and looked at the items dropped by Goblins, but they didn''t have anything!


    Not even wooden mace''s because they were prepared to eat, not fight!


    The grey sky soon became pitch ck. The campfires were the only source of light, while the wooden building with Hobgoblin waspletely dark.


    Isaac put his slingshot on the Inventory and took his most powerful Flintlock pistol.


    He moved silently towards the wooden building, but he still had to hurry because time was running out!


    As he reached the wooden building, he tried to listen to the voices, but the building seemed quiet...


    This is strange because Goblins and Hobgoblins alike aren''t quiet people. They are clumsy, loud and they smell bad.


    *Sniff*


    Isaac took a sniff of the air¡ª he smelled the terrible stench of the vige, but he also tried to smell the Hobgoblin, but it was an impossible feat.


    The Hobgoblin mostly spends his time on the wooden building, and it was already smelling because of that.


    *Creak*


    Isaac slowly started opening the door, but the creaking noise of the door almost made his heart explode.


    Isaac instantly grimaced and covered his nose. The whole building was filled with dead animals! Most of them were rotting, but some had been eaten.


    The stench was unbearable, and he wasn''t sure can he concentrate on fighting in that building. But, he still entered the building and dodged the dead animals. He moved deeper inside the building.


    If he can do one headshot, he will most likely kill the Hobgoblin.


    He only needed one good shot.


    The building was pitch dark, and Isaac could barely see the pistol he was holding! He didn''t notice, but soon he reached the end of the building!


    Soon, Isaac saw a wooden wall in front of him, he looked around him anxiously, but the Hobgoblin was nowhere to be seen!


    *Creak*


    Isaac paled and slowly turned his head towards the ceiling.


    ''''KRAAH!'''' Hobgoblin was hanging from the ceiling! He screamed and jumped towards Isaac with his Iron sword!


    ''''AH!'''' Isaac screamed and jumped towards the right.


    *CRACK*


    The Iron sword pierced through the wooden floor, the Hobgoblin screamed and pulled it away from the floor.


    Isaac stumbled and identally tripped because of the dead animal!


    ''''Ah!'''' He fell down on the ground on his butt, while the Hobgoblin started running towards him with menacing-looking red eyes.


    Isaac looked around the floor¡ª he noticed that he had dropped his Flintlock pistol!


    ''''Where! Where...'''' He looked around the floor and only heard the sound of his panicked breathing and the sound of Hobgoblin approaching with deadly speed.


    But then...


    Isaac grabbed an item from the ground, he didn''t know what it was, but it felt incredibly familiar.


    Like it was another limb of his!


    He turned around and saw Hobgoblin standing above him with his iron sword ready to stab through his heart.


    Isaac pointed the item towards the Hobgoblin and did the same movement he had done countless times with Flintlock pistol.


    *BANG!*

 Chapter 51 - Snowstorm.

    ''''Kruh...'''' Hobgoblin became stiff. He stumbled backward with disbelief visible on his face as he felt something warm on his face.


    A blue liquid trickled down his ugly and monstrous face. He touched the hole in his forehead, and with his undeveloped brain, he couldn''tprehend death.


    Soon, he turned into pixels.


    [You Killed Hobgoblin!]


    [600 XP Earned!


    [LEVEL UP!


    [Level 15 -> Level 16]


    Bright itemsnded on the ground after the Hobgoblin died. The items were sucked instantly into Isaac''s Inventory before he even had time to check those out.


    Isaac opened his Interface and was about to press the Inventory to check the items, but then a messages popped up.


    [0:00]


    [Time''s up!]


    [Rest Well yer!]


    [You have been forcefully logged out!]


    Isaac saw bright light covering his vision, and soon he felt him lying on the soft bed with a familiar white visor in front of his eyes.


    ''''Ah.'''' Isaac felt his body being very stiff. First time since he was in hospital after the incident, his body was in a state of rxation for 10 straight hours.


    He took off his Helmet and stood up, but his body had be numb. Bronze Helmet doesn''t keep the body energetic¡ª that''s why it gathers so much hate.


    Even Silver Helmet keeps the mind fresh and the body energetic.


    But, Bronze Helmet doesn''t have any fancy stuff.


    ''''Oh right... Dinner, why did no onee to invite me?'''' Isaac curiously left the room¡ª he even forgot to put the VR Helmet back in the box.


    Soon, he entered the living room and saw his parents sitting on the couch while watching the TV.


    Isabe heard familiar footsteps. The footsteps were soft and quiet¡ª she instantly recognized them as Isaac''s footsteps!


    ''''Isaac, did you have fun?'''' Isabe turned her head and asked with a gentle smile.


    Isaac smiled and walked to the couch, ''''Why didn''t you guys invite me for dinner?''''


    ''''We thought you were busy,'''' Maxwell said, but there was also another reason.


    It was a shocking sight to see Isaac ying for the whole 10 hours straight!


    Isaac nodded¡ª he stretched his numb body parts. His entire body felt unfamiliar, like he hasn''t moved for days.


    ''''Is your body numb?'''' Maxwell turned his head around and asked.


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''Yeah...''''


    ''''We can buy you a better VR Helmet.'''' Isabe instantly told him.


    Maxwell nodded, ''''We can afford it.''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''No need to spend money on me...'''' He sighed and turned around, ''''I will probably quit the game soon anyway...''''


    He started walking towards the kitchen while Isabe and Maxwell looked at each other with knowing smiles.


    ''''He won''t stop, right?'''' Isabe asked with a gentle smile.


    Maxwell looked at Isaac, who entered the kitchen, ''''Have you ever seen him interested in anything?''''


    Isabe chuckled and shook her head, ''''This is the first time...''''


    ''''MOM! DAD!'''' Alice entered the living room with a panicked face.


    ''''Honey, what is it?'''' Isabe asked curiously¡ª she frowned as she saw Alice''s body shaking.


    ''''ISAAC HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED!'''' Alice cried out with teary eyes.


    Isabe and Maxwell looked at each other with tilted heads.


    ''''I was kidnapped? When?'''' Isaac left the kitchen with a sandwich in his mouth.


    ''''ISAAC!'''' Alice cried out and trapped him in a hug.


    ''''OOF!'''' Isaac felt his spine about to be broken.


    ''''I went to your room, and then I saw the VR Helmet on the bed, but you were nowhere to be seen!'''' Alice cried out and hugged even tighter.


    ''''M-My spine!'''' Isaac cried out, and finally, Alice woke up from her state of shock, and she released Isaac.


    She shyly twirled her hair, ''''Oops.''''


    Isaac rubbed his painful back.


    ''''I am sorry...'''' Alice apologized with a bow.


    ''''It''s fine...'''' Isaac said with a gentle smile, but his manliness received another big hit.


    ''Even my little sister is stronger than me! Why I am here, just to suffer?'' He felt like crying, but it would cause another panic.


    ''''Any way...'''' Alice hopped next to Isaac and whispered, ''''Oliver asked how you were doing.''''


    Isaac''s eyes widened, but he quickly hid his expression, ''''Is that so...''''


    ''''I don''t know why you are hanging out with him. He is creepy,'''' Alice said with an innocent smile.


    ''''Alice, it is not nice to call someone creepy.'''' Isabe reminded gently.


    Alice showed her tongue and ran towards the upstairs.


    Isabe smiled and shook her head. She turned her head back to the TV.


    ''''Oh, 2 billion users already,'''' Isabe said with slight shock.


    ''''This is only beginning,'''' Maxwell said mysteriously.


    Isabe pouted and put her head on Maxwell''s shoulder. Their daily flirting session began.


    Isaac started walking upstairs before he will start vomiting.


    He stopped on the second floor¡ª he looked outside the window and saw a heavy snowstorm.


    Snow was piling up, covering the streets and road. Snowstar is famous for its weekly snowstorms, and for some, that makes Snowstar a lousy ce to live.


    But, Isaac felt a familiarity with snow. Once he was a child, he got lost in the nearby forest, and that day had one of the worst snowstorms in recent memory.


    Hundreds of buildings copsed because the snow piled up on the roofs. The ones with better houses were fine, except they could barely leave the houses because the snow had piled up in front of their front doors.


    But, the ones with the poorer living condition was in a miserable situation, but that''s where Whitelock Company came to help. They rebuilt every destroyed building and made them even better!


    Now, if another snowstorm of that caliber happens, every house and its residents will be safe from harm.


    That made Whitelock Family''s reputation soar.


    When news about Isaac''s disappearance during the snowstorm surfaced. Thousands of citizens helped the Whitelock family to search for him.


    But, no one found him.


    After three days, Isaac returned without a scratch on his body.


    The snow guided him, and he managed to return safely.


    Isaac doesn''t really remember much about his childhood, but that was the first time he encountered with World of White!

 Chapter 52 - Moon.

    The Whitelock Residence became quiet.


    It was a time of tranquility and silence. The Whitelock family has entered deep slumbers.


    Except... One.


    On the fourth floor, one room was shown to have its lights still on.


    It was Isaac''s room.


    He was sitting on the floor on the soft carpet while a notebook was on the floor in front of him.


    There was also aptop next to the notebook.


    He was wearing his sleeping outfit, which consisted of a white t-shirt and shorts.


    When Isaac tried to fall asleep, he couldn''t. The thoughts about White Online riddled in his mind, and it made falling asleep extremely difficult.


    He had too many things to think about.


    What should he do tomorrow?


    Should he go back to the Forest of Unknown?


    He still has to choose the skill, but he doesn''t know which one to choose.


    He leveled up, which means he has 10 Stat Points to be spared, but he already decided to put them on agility.


    ''''Is there a faster way to get there...'''' He murmured¡ª he tried to think about a faster way to the Forest of Unknown.


    In theory, the fastest way would be going through the Beast Forest, but it is suicide with his low level.


    *Step*


    Isaac flinched and looked towards the door. There were a shadow stopping in front of his door.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    ''''Isaac, are you awake?'''' Isaac sighed a relief after hearing his mother''s voice.


    ''''Yes,e in,'''' Isaac said. He closed theptop and put the notebook under the bed.


    Isabe opened the door. She was wearing a pink nightgown which outlined her beautiful and mature curves.


    ''''What is it, mother?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    ''''I saw lights in your room, and I decided to check on you.'''' She said gently and sat on his bed.


    Isaac took theptop from the floor and put it on top of his desk.


    Isabe felt her soft leg touching something under the bed. She curiously picked up the item and saw a notebook with the title [White Online]


    She curiously started reading and soon widened her eyes in shock. She knew the limit of Isaac''s genius mind was nonexistent, but she always felt amazed.


    Every page had such detailed descriptions from each thing rted on White Online. Isaac has also written the easiest way to climb the tree.


    Is it faster to put his leg faster on the tree or his hand on the branch? Isaac thought that the fastest way was to jump from the ground and grab the tree branch, which was much higher up and put his leg on the lower branch.


    That allows him to approximately save 1 second, but Isaac wrote it as [Extremely Important!]


    Isabe giggled and shook her head.


    Isaac curiously turned his head towards his mother and saw her reading her notebooks!


    ''''Mom!'''' Isaac shouted and grabbed the notebook from her hands. He pouted, which made Isabe have a massive smile on her face.


    ''''Cutie!'''' She shouted girly and pinched Isaac''s cheeks.


    ''''Mom!'''' Isaac escaped from her clutches.


    Isabe pouted and stood up, ''''Sorry for reading without your permission.''''


    Isaac sighed and put the notebook back on the cab, ''''It''s fine... I just don''t like anyone reading these. It''s embarrassing.''''


    Isabe patted Isaac''s soft head and gently smiled, ''''There is nothing embarrassing about being genius.''''


    Isaac softly nodded and watched as his mother left the room.


    Isabe looked at him onest time and smiled, ''''Go sleep, or should I hug you to sleep like when you were a child?''''


    ''''Mom!'''' Isaac cried out, embarrassment visible on his face.


    Isabe giggled and closed the door. Isaac could still hear her giggling as she walked away.


    Isaac went to the light switch and turned the lights off.


    He lied down on the bed and covered his body with the nket.


    ''''Oh right... I need to find a way to sell my items...'''' He murmured. The moment he tried to fall asleep, he started thinking about White Online.


    ''''Selling in the City Square is risky... I will earn a lot for sure... What should I do...'''' Isaac with frustration sat up in the bed. He looked outside the window and saw the beautiful moon.


    There were four moons surrounding the World of Four Seasons.


    Each continent had its own moon.


    It has been said that the moon above Wintend is called the Moon of Winter.


    There have been myths about a Goddess living there, watching over the Wintend as Guardian Deity.


    The Goddess was said to be the Goddess of Snow, Khione.


    The Goddess watching over the Summend was said to be Auxo, Goddess of Summer.


    The Goddess watching over the Sprinnd was said to be Thallo, Goddess of Springtime.


    The Goddess watching over the Autumnd was said to be Carpo, The Goddess of Autumn.


    Some im to have seen a beautiful woman standing on the moon while they were using a telescope to look at the moon.


    Isaac thought it was silly. His parents, for some reason, became religious a few years ago, and they started praying for the Goddess of Snow.


    ''''I need to sleep..'''' Isaac murmured and lied back on the bed, ''I want to y already...''


    He felt like a little kid waiting for Christmas at the moment, but White Online has taken firm hold of him, and it won''t easily let him go.


    Isaac''s eyelids became heavier, and he fell deep into slumber.


    He had no idea... That currently someone was watching him!


    When people of Wintend look at the sky during the night. They only see the dark sky, stars, and glorious moon!


    Currently, on the moon... An individual was standing majestically.


    The individual was a beautiful woman with white robes and a cold-looking face. Her ample breasts pushed the robes forwards, while her baggy robes hid every part of her beautiful body, but that only made everyone curious about what was hidden below her clothing.


    She had long white hair reaching all the way to her buttocks, and her long white eyshes moved gently every time she blinked.


    There were millions of buildings in Wintend, but her gaze was locked only in one, or more precisely... In one room!


    The room had a beautiful white-haired individual deep in slumber.


    ''''Found you....''''

 Chapter 53 - Teleportation Pearl.

    ''''Mmm...'''' Isaac groggily opened his eyes. The lighting from the windows made his room bright and cozy.


    ''''Haah.'''' He yawned and stood up from his bed. He did his usual morning routine and left the room while still wearing his sleeping outfit.


    Soon, he entered the dining room, where his family was already gathered.


    They still looked shocked after seeing Isaac waking up so early.


    He sat down on the chair next to Marvin andzily grabbed a sandwich, and started munching like a squirrel eating seeds.


    Isabe and Alice sighed with satisfaction after seeing the scene.


    Sophia took a small nce but quickly turned her head away and continued eating her breakfast.


    ''''Isaac, I bought the VR Helmet as well. I will y tonight with my friends,'''' Marvin said with slight excitement.


    ''''Really?!'''' Isaac''s tiredness disappeared. He looked at his big brother with mouth agape.


    He knows that Marvin has never been interested in games. He mostly spends time with his delinquent friends.


    ''''Few of my friends tried it, and they seemed to like it,'''' Marvin said and took a sip of the coffee.


    Isaac nodded, and he started to feel slight pity for other yers in White Online.


    Marvin''s friends are quite... Unique.


    But, Isaac likes them, and they treat him like he is their little brother.


    ''''I want to y too!'''' Mark mmed the table and shouted.


    ''''Not happening, mister,'''' Isabe said with an amused smile.


    Mark fumed in anger and left the dining room with angry steps, but it looked like a small bird making a ruckus.


    Isabe chuckled and shook her head.


    ''''Shall we go? I need to be in office in about...'''' Maxwell said and looked at his wristwatch, ''''30 minutes.''''


    Sophia, Marvin, and Alice nodded. They stood up and went to get ready.


    Maxwell stood up and put his hand on prayer one more time, ''''Thanks for food, Goddess of Snow.'''' After that, he left towards the garage to get his car ready.


    Only Isaac and Isabe were left in the dining room.


    ''''Eat well so that you won''t get hungry inside the game.'''' Isabe gently said. She stood up and started cleaning the table.


    ''''Yup.'''' Isaac ate till he waspletely full. He helped Isabe to take the tes to the kitchen.


    He put them next to the sink and felt Isabe''s gently patting him in the head, ''''I appreciate the help, but I can feel your impatience. You can go.'''' She said with an amused smile.


    Isaac pursed his lips. He kissed Isabe''s cheek and ran towards his room.


    Isabe gently touched her cheek, and with newfound energy, she started doing the dishes.


    There are servants to do these kinds of things, but she is from poor living conditions, and she never wants to forget her roots.


    Isaac received her personality of saving money. He never wants to spend money if it isn''t necessary.


    Soon, he entered his room and took the VR Helmet from the wardrobe.


    He lied down on his bed and covered his head with the helmet.


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Legacies Awaits You!]


    ...


    Isaac opened his eyes and saw a slightly familiar ceiling.


    He looked around the room and recognized it as his rented room. He didn''t stand up¡ª instead, he waited for the specific messages to pop up.


    [Legacy Tournament Commences in 5 Days 1 hour 57 minutes]


    [Contenders: 32]


    ''''Increase of 5...'''' Isaac murmured. Yesterday there were 27 contenders, but now 32.


    He sat up in his bed and opened his Inventory.


    It was time to check the items he received from Hobgoblin.


    There were five items he didn''t recognize.


    Isaac pressed the info of every item and started reading.


    [Hobgoblin''s Iron Sword - Common]


    [Hobgoblin''s Leather Shirt - White]


    [Hobgoblin''s Leather Pants - White]


    [Hobgoblin''s Teeth - Umon]


    [Hobgoblin''s Teleportation Pearl (1 use) - Epic]


    Isaac didn''t move or blink.


    He stayedpletely still until he said one word, ''''Wow...''''


    He took the Teleportation Pearl from the Inventory. It wasrge marble the size of his palm, it had a greenish hue, but it was mostly blue.


    ''''Can I use this to teleport to the Forest of Unknown...'''' Isaac murmured, but then his thoughts were interrupted by a knocking sound.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    ''''Wraith, are you there?'''' He recognized the voice as Be''s.


    Isaac left his room and opened the door to his room. He saw a beautiful ck-haired girl with long eyshes and delicate-looking eyebrows looking at him without blinking.


    ''''I never saw you returning, so I became worried.'''' Be said shyly while taking glimpses at Isaac, ''''U-Umm... Why aren''t you wearing anything?'''' Her face was dyed in pink.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac looked at himself and saw him standing half-naked, only wearing white boxers, ''''Eh?''''


    *Bam*


    Isaac quickly mmed the door shut.


    On the other side of the door, Be hid her blushing face.


    Isaac quickly put on his outfit, which consisted of the newbie clothing and his Chain Armor.


    ''''Weird... why I wasn''t wearing anything... Was it because I yed till the time limit?'''' Isaac thought aloud. He opened the door once again and saw Be standing calmly.


    She was holding a te of food, ''''I made food. I hope you enjoy it.''''


    ''''Oh, thanks.'''' Isaac took the te with a small smile.


    Be smiled and left. The scene is still stuck in her mind.


    Isaac closed the door and went back to his room. Before he starts eating, he took his items from the Inventory and put them under the bed, just in case.


    After that, he quickly ate the delicious food. This time, he didn''t receive Stats.


    He felt slightly disappointed.


    Soon the te was empty. He put it on his bed and took the Teleportation Pearl again.


    His dark red nametag was gone, reced with bright white.


    His XP Boost Potion has also expired.


    ''''I hope this works...'''' Isaac murmured. He took a deep breath and said, ''''Forest of Unknown.''''


    He heard in forums that most of the items work with voicemand.


    He wasn''t sure will this work, but soon therge marble started glowing.


    The bright light assaulted Isaac''s eyes, he quickly closed his eyes, and once the bright light disappeared, he once again opened his eyes.


    He saw him standing in the middle of the dark forest.


    [Wee to Forest of Unknown!]


    [Level Limit: 10 - 100]

 Chapter 54 - Darth.

    [AGI: 40 -> 50]


    [SP: 10 -> 0]


    Isaac used the Stat Points he received from the leveling up. He already chose to assign all of them to agility. He could already feel his physique improving.


    He improved his agility by 20%. It would be weird if he didn''t feel any changes.


    After that, Isaac looked around him, trying to find where he was, and soon, he saw familiar wooden fences.


    ''''I teleported very close...'''' He murmured and walked towards the Goblin Vige.


    The Goblin Vige was very quiet, without any signs of life. The terrible stench is still lingering in the air, making Isaac grimace in disgust.


    Flies were seen circling around the skeletons of dead animals. Isaac can already tell that the worst stench ising from the Hobgoblin''s building. He felt a need to go check out if the Hobgoblin dropped anything else.


    But, he shook his head and turned away from the building. He didn''t concentrate yesterday on the stench much because of the adrenaline, but now that he is in a calm state of mind, he didn''t dare to take one step closer towards the building.


    Isaac looked around the vige for anything worth selling, but he didn''t find anything.


    He looked around for human corpses but didn''t see any. Now he understood why the Goblin looked so shocked after seeing him.


    He must be the first human who has entered this forest.


    Isaac scratched his soft white hair and left thest building he checked.


    The deste vige came to view, but this time... Something felt different.


    Isaac''s eyebrow jumped. For some reason, the current calmness seemed unnatural.


    When he entered the vige, it was dead silent. But now, he has a feeling like someone was looking at him.


    The same feeling he had countless times in his real life. He has gotten used to all kinds of looks he has received, and now he has almost like seventh sense.


    Sometimes it is his imagination. Like, after his incident, he always felt like he was watched.


    He felt like the men with ski masks were everywhere looking at his movements. He thought it was his imagination, but he always gets goosebumps out of nowhere.


    It is different when his family is looking at him, but when someone he doesn''t know, he always feels ufortable.


    It is his trauma at work.


    His trauma is still present subconsciously.


    But, it isn''t some kind of Superpower. Most of the times it is his imagination, and sometimes it doesn''t even work.


    It usually works when he is in calm state of mind.


    ''Doesn''t hurt to be safe...'' Isaac thought and walked in the opposite direction from the gates of the vige.


    He walked past the Hobgoblin''s building and climbed the wooden fence. The wooden fence was rtively crude and poorly made. It almost fell down when he climbed it.


    Hended on the other side of the wall and started walking away. The ufortable feeling disappeared, and he could finally sigh a relief.


    He doesn''t know whether it was his imagination or not.


    Isaac descended long downhill. The wooden fences of the Goblin Vige were on top of the hill.


    In his opinion, it was a smart move for the Goblins to build the vige in that spot. This hill is an excellent guarding spot, but they weren''t focusing on guarding the front gates at all. That made Isaac''s job very easy.


    He arrived at the bottom of the hill, and a small river became visible. There were few rocks on the surface of the river.


    Isaac used the rocks to safely cross the river.


    He almost slipped on thest one, but he managed to keep his bnce.


    There was another forest in front of him, which was part of the Forest of Unknown, but Isaac wasn''t nning to wander far.


    He remembers that the level limit is 100, which means there must be monsters of that caliber.


    Isaac was about to enter the forest, but then he started having goosebumps again. He felt like someone was gazing at his back.


    He took his Flintlock Pistol from the Inventory and pointed it towards the hill, where he came from.


    ''''Come out!'''' Isaac shouted with his finger on the trigger. Cold sweat was pouring on his back while watching the dark forest in front of him.


    ''Was it my imagination...'' He thought to himself, he was about to put his gun away, but then... A sound of footsteps echoed from the hill.


    A ck-haired young man with a bow on his back appeared on the bottom of the hill. He had an apologetic look on his face.


    A nametag floated above him.


    [Darth]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    ''''I am sorry for startling you,'''' Darth said with gentle eyes. He had long eyebrows with beautiful blue eyes, looking like pair of gems. Overall, very attractive individual.


    Isaac was still pointing his Flintlock pistol at him, but he had a feeling that Darth wasn''t hostile.


    Slowly he lowered his gun, but he didn''t put it back on the Inventory.


    ''''I am here with my Guild, we came here to explore this forest, but we aren''t the only ones here. There are countless other Guilds, and I saw you wandering in the Goblin Vige. Are you willing toe with me to meet my Guild? It is not safe for a solo yer.'''' Darth said with a gentle tone.


    Isaac felt like his words made sense.


    He didn''t know that there were so many yers exploring the forest. It only took one night for everyone to gather in the Forest of Unknown.


    But it isn''t surprising. The Beast Forest is way too crowded with people, and spending a few hours for a carriage ride is worth it if you can have one forest all for yourself.


    But, it seems that many Guild had the same idea.


    ''''Alright...'''' Isaac said softly, but Darth heard him crystal clear.


    Isaac used the rocks again, and once he was in thest rock, it was already a little bit underwater, which made his bnce a mess.


    He was about to fall down, but then a firm hand grabbed him and pulled him to the shore.


    ''''Thanks...'''' Isaac said with gratitude.


    ''''No problem!'''' Darth said with a smile. He took his hand away and said, ''''I already messaged my Guild, they will meet us in the Goblin Vige.''''


    Isaac nodded and followed behind him.

 Chapter 55 - Black Arrow.

    Darth and Isaac reached the wooden fence. Darth used his Archer physique to jump over the fence while Isaac climbed over it.


    Hended in front of Darth, who was peeking behind the building towards the gates of the Goblin Vige.


    He turned his gaze towards Isaac and smiled, ''''They are here, but... I have to warn you.''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac looked at him with curiosity.


    Darth chuckled, ''''They might... Hug you.''''


    ''''Hug?'''' Isaac''s eyebrow jumped.


    Darth bit his lip and nodded, ''''They like cute things.''''


    ''''Alright...'''' Isaac followed behind him with a curious look.


    They walked past the Hobgoblin''s wooden building. There was already a group of ten waiting for them.


    Each one of them was wearing green robes with ck-colored arrows on the back.


    There were 7 men and 3 women sitting around a small campfire.


    They looked carefree, not even afraid of being ambushed. All of them had one thing also inmon, they all had bows on their backs!


    They were Archers!


    ''Is this guild primarily for Archers...'' Isaac thought to himself.


    ''''Everyone, this is Wraith.'''' Darth introduced himself and retreated a few steps away.


    Isaac looked at him with a questioning look.


    ''''KYAAAAAAAA!'''' A loud scream was heard, which caused Isaac to flinch.


    Soon, he found himself trapped in two mountains.


    ''Eh?'' Isaac was confused as the tworge assests trapped his small head.


    ''''SO CUTE!'''' The one who hugged him cried out. She was a beautiful woman with long light green hair and two massive mountains on her chest, which pushed her green robes forwards. She was wearing white knee socks, which made her soft-looking visible look even more appealing.


    A nametag floated above her.


    [Queen Diana]


    [Guild: ck Arrow (Guild Master)]


    She kept spinning around while Isaac was thrown around like a ragdoll.


    Darth scratched his head, ''''Guild Master. You are making him ufortable.''''


    Queen Diana stopped moving. She looked at Isaac''s face and saw his eyes spinning.


    ''''Oh, my apologies.'''' She stopped hugging Isaac, but then she pinched his cheek, ''''Cutie!''''


    ''''He is a boy?!'''' A shocked shouts came from the other Archers.


    Queen Diana had a slight blush on her cheek. She kept sneakily touching Isaac''s soft cheek, ''''Soft... Cute... Soft... Cute...''''


    Darth sighed. He grabbed Isaac from his cor and pulled him next to him.


    ''''Enough.'''' His calm voice made everyone quiet.


    Queen Diana pouted and sat down. She looked at Isaac and tried to tempt Isaac toe to her like he was a kitten.


    Isaac''s eyebrow twitched.


    ''''Guild Master...'''' Darth narrowed his eyes.


    ''''Hmph!'''' Queen Diana looked away with a pouting face.


    Darth sighed and rubbed his forehead, ''''Like I said... His name is Wraith, and he is a solo yer.''''


    ''''Solo, you have guts toe here alone.'''' Archer, in his 30s said while rubbing his small beard.


    ''''I didn''t know anyone was here,'''' Isaac said while rubbing his cheek.


    ''''The news about the expedition should have already been spread around in the forums.''''


    ''''I didn''t check the forums this morning,'''' Isaac said. Everyone nodded, his words made sense.


    Last night, the Guild nned to go to the Forest of Unknown, and only this morning they started their journey.


    Since a lot of Top Guilds left at the same time, the news couldn''t be hidden.


    Quite a lot smaller Guilds areing to the forest as well, and a few thousand parties.


    It is not easy for them to fight against Top Guilds.


    Darth sat down in the fallen tree trunk, and Isaac sat down next to him.


    Isaac listened as the ck Arrow Guild talked about their next course of action, but he also looked around him.


    ''''We won''t get attacked.'''' Queen Diana said with a proud smile.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac looked at her curiously.


    But Darth was the one who answered, ''''We have hundreds of Guild members surrounding the vige and hunting nearby monsters.''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''What level are you?'''' A female Archer in her 20s asked curiously. She had a pixie haircut with cute facial features and big blue eyes.


    [GreenFlower]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    Everyone turned their gazes towards Isaac.


    ''''I think it would be appropriate if we reveal our levels first.'''' Darth quipped.


    ''''Me first!'''' Queen Diana shouted with an energetic look.


    But Darth looked at GreenFlower, ''''Greeny, you first.''''


    ''''Hmph!'''' Queen Diana pouted and sat down.


    GreenFlower nodded and pressed a few buttons in the air.


    Soon, her nametag changed.


    [GreenFlower]


    [Level: 16]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    ''''Now me!'''' Queen Diana stood up with a charming smile, but Darth looked towards the Archer in his 30s.


    The Archer in his 30s nodded and started pressing a few buttons in front of him.


    [Tobi]


    [Level: 17]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    ''''Now me!'''' Queen Diana shouted, but then other guild members with amusement showed their levels simultaneously, except Darth.


    Isaac looked at them and was shocked.


    Archer with long blond hair and an average-looking face was the first one to show his.


    [Petrifying]


    [Level: 17]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    The second one to show his stats was Archer with quite unique red eyes and red hair.


    [Redless]


    [Level: 18]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    The third one was a young man in his 16s with still visible baby fat on his cheeks.


    [Fysion]


    [Level: 16]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    The fourth one was a stoic-looking man with a buzzcut and was the tallest one of the group.


    [Xino]


    [Level: 18]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    The fifth one was a silent type. He had ck hair with long bangs which covered his eyes.


    [Darc]


    [Level: 17]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    The sixth one was a man around 25s with a silly grin on his face. He had slightly longer brown hair, reaching all the way to his shoulders.


    [FirstKill]


    [Level: 18]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    Then, next to Queen Diana. An innocent and timid-looking girl was sitting, her body type was quite petite, and she was quite short only around 150cm.


    [Colorful]


    [Level: 19]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    ''''NOW IT''S MY TURN!'''' Queen Diana started throwing tantrums while everyone looked at her with amusement.


    ''''This is mine.'''' Darth tapped a few buttons in front of him.


    [Darth]


    [Level: 20]


    [Guild: ck Arrow]


    Isaac took a deep breath. Even the lowest level in their group is at his level!


    ''''Is it mine turn?'''' Queen Diana asked with sparkling eyes.


    ''''Yes... It''s your turn.'''' Darth sighed, and everyone turned their gaze at her.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Queen Diana giggled and put her hands on her waist and pushed her chest onwards.


    ''''Behold... My level!''''


    [Queen Diana]


    [Level: 22]


    [Guild: ck Arrow (Guild Master)]

 Chapter 56 - News.

    Queen Diana proudly pushed her chest forwards. She opened her eyes, expecting to see amazed reactions, but instead...


    Her Guild members looked at her without expression, while Isaac was looking at her with an impressed face.


    ''''Y-Y-You guys should go like waaaah.'''' Queen Diana showed an amazed expression and moved her hands around, ''''Go waaah!''''


    ''''Waa¡ª'''' Isaac was about to say it, but Darth covered his mouth.


    ''''Just ignore her...'''' Darth said with a wry smile and removed his hand.


    Isaac nodded and looked at Queen Diana without any expression.


    ''''Meanies!'''' Queen Diana shouted. She sat down and started sulking.


    ''''Now it is your time, Wraith,'''' GreenFlower said with a curious expression.


    Darth and others looked at him as well.


    Queen Diana acted like she was too mad to care, but she took sneaky nces.


    ''''My level is not that high...'''' Isaac scratched the back of his head and pressed a few buttons in front of him.


    [Wraith]


    [Level: 16]


    ''''You are level 16?!'''' GreenFlower eximed with mouth agape.


    ''''Well... This is surprising.'''' Darth was pleasantly surprised.


    ''''Why aren''t you part of Guild?'''' Tobi asked curiously while touching his beard. For some reason, it made him look like a wise sage.


    Isaac shrugged, ''''I like to be alone, I guess.''''


    ''''White Online isn''t a solo game, but if you want to be an adventurer, then it''s fine,'''' Darth said and patted his shoulder.


    Isaac smiled and nodded. He has seen a few articles about Guilds, and apparently, most of them are doing only chores.


    Gather items, go repair Guild Masters weapons, etc.


    That''s one of the reasons why Isaac didn''t think about joining any Guilds.


    But, Isaac wouldn''t be treated that way. He is high enough level to be a Core Member of Top Guilds.


    He didn''t know, but the group around him were the Core members of the famous ck Arrow Guild!


    ''''What is your ss?'''' FirstKill asked with a grin. He scanned Isaac''s body but didn''t really see any weapons, he saw the pouches, but he didn''t understand the meaning behind them.


    ''''Marksman.'''' Isaac took the Flintlock pistol from the Inventory. The Flintlock pistol also looked slightly different from the old one. It had a small gold lining on the side, making it look a little bit fancier.


    ''''Oh...'''' FirstKill looked with pity at him.


    ''''You are one of the Unlucky Ones...'''' GreenFlower said with pity.


    ''''Unlucky Ones?'''' Isaac tilted his head.


    ''''Marksmen is called like that.'''' Darth said next to him, ''''Marksman, officially called as the worst ss. Many were unlucky to choose it, many thought it would be good since it''s the first choice for Shooter ss, but it was a trap.''''


    ''''Trap?''''


    Darth nodded, ''''Marksman ss was created to be a most difficult one to use, and even if you train it till the peak, there isn''t guarantee that you will able to contend with top yers.''''


    ''''Also, the Special Stat sucks.'''' GreenFlower quipped.


    Isaac listened closely.


    ''''Also, if you want to change the ss. You would need to buy a new one, but then you will be behind by other yers.'''' Darth sighed. He looked towards Queen Diana and asked, ''''Guild Master, was the Marksman this bad during the beta?''''


    ''''Beta?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow.


    ''''She was one of the beta testers,'''' Darth said.


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac looked amazed and curious. He always wanted to know more about the game, but only Beta Testers know the hidden secrets of the game.


    Queen Diana proudly stood up, ''''I was indeed one of the beta testers!''''


    ''''Was the Marksman really bad?'''' Isaac asked.


    Queen Diana pondered for a moment, ''''I only met a few beta testers with that ss. One thing I can say about them... They had very good... Eyesight.''''


    ''''Eyesight?'''' Darth and others looked at her with questioning faces.


    Queen Diana nodded, ''''They saw things others didn''t, but I didn''t think much about them. They were very low-key.''''


    Isaac nodded thoughtfully, ''I need to research more...''


    ''''Guild Master, what are we doing now?'''' Tobi asked, ''''Golden Crown and others are already approaching level 25 hunting spots.''''


    ''''Well, let''s go!'''' Queen Diana energetically stood up, ''''Call the others! We are leaving.''''


    Tobi nodded and started messaging in the Guild chat.


    ''''You cane with us.'''' Queen Diana said towards Isaac with a charming smile.


    Isaac and Darth stood up. They walked behind the other Guild members as they left the Goblin Vige.


    There was already a sound of movement in the forests, their Guild members moved with great agility in the trees, and they are definitely force to be reckoned with.


    Queen Diana was walking in front of others while swaying her wide hips.


    Darth rolled his eyes. He leaned closer to Isaac and whispered, ''''If Guild Master asks you to do some weird stuff, just say no. If she requests something, tell me, I will go kick her ass.''''


    ''''Request? Like what?'''' Isaac curiously looked at him.


    ''''Like...'''' Darth pondered, until he whispered once again, ''''Like crossdressing, she is definitely fantasizing about some weird stuff right now.''''


    ''''Crossdressing?'''' Isaac suddenly had chills. His family had once a phase when they wanted him to crossdress as a cat.


    That was a memory he didn''t want to remember.


    But, that was when he was very young and was still ignorant about the world.


    Now he is grown up.


    He would never ept such humiliation ever again.


    ''''Oh right.'''' Darth pressed a few buttons in front of him, and suddenly notification popped up in front of Isaac.


    [yer Darth sent you a Friend Request!]


    [ept/Reject]


    Isaac looked surprised, but he pressed [ept]


    ''''Friend list doesn''t have any special meaning currently, but I have heard rumors that there will be an update which lets friends to talk with each other, as long as they aren''t in battle,'''' Darth told him some shocking news.


    ''''Where did you hear that?''''


    Darth pointed at Queen Diana, ''''Our Guild Master''s identity is quite special, she hears some news ahead of everyone else, and apparently... The next update wille next week!''''


    ''''So soon?!'''' Isaac eximed.


    ''''That''s right.'''' Darth nodded and smiled, ''''Next update apparently has some world-changing stuff... Maybe the Marksman ss gets updated.''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''I am quite excited now.''''


    ''''This game does that to people. Which VR helmet you are using? Legendary, right?'''' Darth asked.


    But, Isaac awkwardly chuckled, ''''Uhh... Bronze.''''


    Darth''s eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He stopped walking and looked at Isaac with a shocked look.


    ''''Bronze Helmet is so restrictive. Even the movement seems so stiff.''''


    Isaac shrugged and moved his limbs, ''''I don''t feel any different, though.''''


    Darth chuckled, ''''Well... When you buy a better one.... You will never want to go back.''''

 Chapter 57 - League Of Assassins.

    ck Arrow Guild and Isaac reached a spacious mountainside. It was quite unique sight. There was a small river going in the middle of the small rocky hills and arge forest surrounding the mountainside.


    It was around 1km in radius, with rocky terrain.


    Currently, in the middle of the mountainside. Two groups were facing each other.


    Another group was wearing dark robes with daggers on their waists.


    In front of them, a group with golden-colored outfits and golden crown symbols on their outfits stood majestically.


    ''''Jonathan, back off before you and your group of wannabe Knights will get hurt.'''' A man from the dark robes squad said. He had short ck hair with a small ck mask that covered his nose, mouth, and his jaw.


    [Darkside]


    [Guild: League of Assassins (Guild Master)]


    A young man with beautiful blond hair and an attractive face looked at them with amusement.


    [King Jonathan]


    [Guild: Golden Crown (Guild Master)]


    He sighed andughed, ''''Your group of Edge Lords is ruining this game. Why don''t you fuck off, go hide in your fucking basement where you belong.''''


    Darkside narrowed his eyes, he unsheathed his dagger, ''''Don''t push your luck!''''


    His Guild members also unsheathed their daggers.


    Behind King Jonathan, hundreds of Knights put their shields on the defensive format.


    There were also Archers on King Jonathan''s side. They were on the back row, their arrows ready to be fired.


    King Jonathan was in the first front, only 5 meters away from Darkside.


    It looked like the battle was inevitable.


    But out of nowhere... A single arrow flew in the sky andnded in the middle of Darkside and King Jonathan.


    Everyone in the mountainside turned their heads towards the forest.


    They all saw a beautiful green-haired woman with a body shape enough to make every man drool. She was aiming her bow towards Darkside, ready to fire at a moment''s notice.


    ''''Heyo!'''' Queen Diana shouted with a grin.


    Darkside grimaced.


    King Jonathan chuckled. He rxed his body and retreated a dozen meters away with his Guild.


    Hundreds of individuals left the forest. All of them were aiming their bows at the League of Assassins.


    ''''Queen Bitch! This has nothing to do with you!'''' Darkside roared angrily.


    Queen Diana pouted. She stomped the ground with her feet, ''''Meanies!''''


    Darth rolled his eyes, ''''Guild Master, please behave!''''


    ''''B-B-But he called me B-word!'''' Queen Diana looked at Darth with teary eyes. Teardrops threatened to leave her eyes, she seemed genuinely pitiful, but Darth only looked at her with a twitching eyebrow.


    ''''Do you think you can handle a King and Queen?'''' King Jonathan grinned while looking at Darkside, ''''Shoo shoo, your basement is waiting for you.''''


    Darkside''s eyes went bloodshot, veins popped in his forehead, ''''That was a mistake.''''


    Darth aimed his bow towards Darkside and fired!


    The arrow left the bow like a missile, and after a few seconds, it was already about to hit Darkside''s face.


    *nk*


    But, Darkside put his dagger with excellent timing on the way and blocked the arrow. The arrow got cracked from the half, but then the broken arrow started glowing!


    ''''FUCK!'''' Darkside cursed and quickly activated his Stealth. He disappeared from the mountainside.


    Most of the League of Assassins disappeared as well, but the ones with lower levels and less gaming experience didn''t know what was happening.


    *BOOM*


    A loud explosion appeared around the League of Assassin group.


    Darth saw a dozen notifications popping up in front of him.


    He killed over 10 League of Assassin members!


    The rest of the League of Assassins members who survived the explosion escaped with pale faces.


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 20 -> Level 21]


    Darth ignored the notifications and looked towards Queen Diana, ''''They won''t let this go.''''


    Queen Diana giggled, ''''How scary!''''


    Darth facepalmed, ''''This is a serious issue.''''


    Queen Diana waved her hand, ''''No biggie!'''' She started walking towards the Golden Crown Guild with a cheerful expression.


    ''''No biggie... It is a very serious issue.'''' Darth''s shoulders slumped. He got shoulder pats from other ck Arrow guild members.


    Darth is the one who has to keep Queen Diana in control, and it isn''t an easy job.


    ''''Who were they?'''' Isaac appeared next to Darth and asked.


    ''''League of Assassins.'''' Darth said and patted Isaac''s shoulder, ''''If you see them, walk in another direction, they are nothing but trouble.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''They are Guild primarily for Assassins... That is scary... But, they have obvious weaknesses.''


    They turned their heads towards Queen Diana and King Jonathan. They were standing alone and talking while the Golden Crown guild stood behind King Jonathan.


    Queen Diana nodded and turned her gaze towards Darth, ''''Darthy,e here! Comeeee! Comeee!'''' She waved her hand around her like she was possessed.


    Darth''s eyebrow twitched. He walked towards them while Isaac looked at the scene with amusement.


    ''''H-H-Hey, Isaac.''''


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock. He turned his gaze towards the petite girl who was shyly twirling her hair.


    ''''Who are you?'''' Isaac asked with narrowed eyes.


    ''''Y-You don''t remember me?'''' Colorful asked with a sad face.


    Isaac scanned her face, but he didn''t recognize her face at all.


    ''''I-I am your ssmate, Julia!'''' Colorful said with a downcast look. It felt like the heavens were falling down.


    ''He doesn''t remember me...'' She almost felt like crying, but then she heard Isaac''s shocked voice.


    ''''You are Julia?!'''' Isaac''s eyes almost popped out of his sockets.


    Colorful turned her innocent and adorable face towards Isaac and nodded shyly.


    ''''I am sorry, I couldn''t recognize you.'''' Isaac scratched his head with embarrassment, ''''You looked very different from real life.''''


    ''''D-Different?''''


    ''''You have like long bangs covering your eyes, and you look slightly paler as well.'''' Isaac pointed out, but he still had a shocked look on his face.


    Current Julia lookedpletely different! He was sure that even her family wouldn''t recognize her.


    Colorful scratched her cheek, ''''Yea... I guess I am quite ugly, hehehe...'''' She gave a swallow chuckle with a tone of self-mocking.


    ''''Ugly?'''' Isaac tilted his head. He looked at Colorful''s face and said, ''''You are cute.''''


    ''''C-C-Cute?!'''' Colorful''s face changed shades, her face morphed into a massive smile.


    Darth came next to Isaac and patted his shoulder, ''''Guild Master made another mess I had to clean up, apparently, we will explore the forest with Golden Crown, let''s go.''''


    Isaac nodded and followed behind him.


    The rest of the ck Arrow members followed behind them, while Colorful was left alone with her daydreaming sessions.

 Chapter 58 - Duo Dungeon.

    Guilds Golden Crown and ck Arrow explored the forest at a steady pace. They weren''t hurrying because they had reserved this area. They made deals with other Guilds.


    Other Guilds also have their own area, but some aren''t part of the deal.


    Like League of Assassins.


    But, not many Guilds are willing to butt heads with two of Top Guilds. That''s why they can calmly explore without any interruptions.


    Isaac looked around the forest, it was still dark, but it had a different kind of charm. The birds chirped above the trees, giving quite a mysterious vibe to the forest.


    Even though they explored calmly, they didn''t do it carefreely.


    They had scouts going ahead, and many Guild members were ready for battle.


    League of Assassins proved that there might be other Guilds with ill intentions.


    Darth appeared next to Isaac and whispered, ''''This will be a training session for our Guild, so some people might be in a serious mood.''''


    ''''Training?'''' Isaac looked at him with a questioning gaze.


    ''''Heard about the Dungeon in the Beast Forest?''''


    Isaac nodded.


    Darth smiled, ''''That is actually Duo Dungeon.''''


    ''''Duo?''''


    Darth nodded and pointed towards his guild members, ''''See, most of them are paired with someone.''''


    Isaac looked at others, and what Darth said was true.


    He didn''t take notice of it before, but everyone was indeed walking with pairs.


    ''''They are training their teamwork for Dungeon. After this exploration, our Guild will try out the Duo Dungeon. Our levels are already reaching eptable levels, and who knows... Some of us might be over level 25 after this exploration is over.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''Duo Dungeon... Shame, I don''t have anyone to y with.'' He felt disappointed, but nothing he could do about it.


    ''''Guild Master will do the Duo Dungeon with King Jonathan. It is small cooperation between our Guilds.'''' Darth mentioned.


    Isaac took a deep breath, ''''They both are strong.''''


    Darth nodded, ''''Indeed, they will most likelyplete it, but everyone is aiming for the First Clear.''''


    ''''Is it really that important?'''' Isaac asked. He got the First Clear, and the rewards were great, but it feels slightly overhyped, but he was thinking that maybe others knew about the importance more than he did.


    ''''First Clear is great to build up the reputation of Guilds, but... It also has secret rewards. Apparently, in the beta testing, there were few test Dungeons, and all the Beta Testers were desperate to be the first one toplete it.''''


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac became thoughtful, but then Darth elbowed his waist.


    ''''Do you have a Duo?'''' He asked curiously.


    Isaac wryly smiled and shook his head, ''''I am a solo yer.''''


    ''''Do you want to be my Duo?'''' Darth asked.


    ''''Yours?!'''' Isaac eximed, ''''But your level is above 20! You could get much better Duo.''''


    Darth chuckled and rubbed his chin, ''''I think your expertise is needed...''''


    ''''My expertise?'''' Isaac tilted his head.


    Darth grinned and looked him in the eye, ''''Mister First Clear.''''


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock, ''''How did you know?!''''


    Darth roared inughter. He ruffled Isaac''s hair and said, ''''One of ck Arrow members talked about some guy called Wraith getting First Clear, I happened to overhear it.''''


    ''''Ah.'''' Isaac awkwardly scratched his head.


    ''''Who knows, the Dungeon could be simr with yours, it has a small chance, but we could try it out.'''' Darth put his hand for a handshake, ''''Well, what do you say?''''


    Isaac looked at the hand. He took a deep breath and grabbed the hand, ''''Alright.''''


    ''''Nice!'''' Darth cheered, ''''I will get HP Potions. Those are probably needed.''''


    Isaac then pondered about one thing...


    ''''Do you know where I can sell items?'''' Isaac asked.


    Darth raised an eyebrow, ''''You don''t know?''''


    ''''I know... But I am kind of...'''' Isaac scratched his cheek, ''''I am kind of banned from every Merchant Store.''''


    Darth blinked nkly until he roared inughter, ''''HAHAHAHA! How the hell you managed to achieve that?!''''


    Isaac sighed, ''''I entered the wrong Merchant Store...''''


    ''''Let me guess... Laurent?'''' Darth grinned.


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''That shithead tried to scam me.''''


    ''''Yeah, few of my Guild members were victims of his scamming.'''' Darth sighed, ''''Well... You can try selling in City Square.''''


    Isaac looked conflicted, ''''My items might be... A little bit too eye-catching.''''


    ''''Oho.'''' Darth looked surprised, ''''Well, you can sell for our Guild.''''


    ''''You guys are buying items? Why?''''


    ''''Same reason as Merchant Stores. You can make weapons and extremely good armor from the items. Also, the items are needed for Poison Master, Potion Master, and Trap Master sses. We have a few of them in our Guild, and they need a lot of items.''''


    Isaac heard again something new. He hasn''t concentrated much on finding things about Support sses since he is mostly focused on his ss, and finding weaknesses in the sses he deems dangerous.


    He haspletely ignored the Master sses since they are mostly for Support.


    ''''By the way. What was the explosion arrow thingy.'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    Darth grinned and took an arrow from his quiver. The arrow was ck-colored with some kind of white line on the middle.


    ''''This was made by our Trap Master. That name is very misleading, that ss is pretty much Crafter, and he managed to make an explosive arrow!''''


    Isaac looked amazed, ''''That''s amazing!''''


    Darth proudly nodded, ''''That''s right!''''


    ''''Maybe other sses have some special skills too?'''' Isaac asked with great excitement.


    ''''Probably, but it will probably take a quite long time before anything groundbreaking is found.''''


    Isaac nodded and started thinking about countless possibilities.


    ''''Maybe...'''' He murmured. Darth perked up his ears and looked at him.


    ''''Maybe Poison Master can work together with Trap Master to make a poison arrow?'''' Isaac looked at Darth and soon saw his face turning into shock.


    ''''That''s a brilliant idea! How the fuck did we not think about it?!'''' Darth quickly started messaging with his Trap Master and Potion Master.


    While Darth was busy, Isaac was daydreaming about countless possibilities.


    There were endless possibilities!


    Isaac felt like he genuinely started seeing just how far they indeed are from the peak.


    Maybe a few yearster, they look back and think how innocent and clueless they were.

 Chapter 59 - Cave Of Mystery.

    ''''Alright, time to separate.'''' King Jonathan''s voice echoed in the ears of Golden Crown and ck Arrow members.


    ''''Everyone, don''t wander too far away.'''' Queen Diana said gently, but Darth already knows that she will be the first one to do that.


    ''''Let''s go. Maybe we can get you to level 20 before exploration is over.'''' Darth patted Isaac''s shoulder and started walking deeper inside the forest while Isaac followed closely behind.


    Isaac also saw many duos with both Golden Crown and ck Arrow members in one Duo.


    Darth saw his questioning look, ''''Some of our Guild members think that Duo with two Archers is inefficient, and they are true. One Knight and one Archer is a good idea, one for close range, and another for long-range.''''


    ''''But we are both long-range,'''' Isaac said with a wry smile.


    Darth shrugged, ''''We will manage.''''


    ''''I hope so...'''' Isaac sighed, ''''If the Duo Dungeon isn''t about killing Monsters or Beasts, then we can do well.''''


    ''''Dungeons are always unexpected.'''' Darth replied, ''''I have heard rumors about one Dungeon being a swimmingpetition.''''


    ''''Swimmingpetition?'''' Isaac looked confused.


    Darth chuckled and nodded, ''''They had to win in a swimmingpetition against Aquatic Beast if they lose... They will get eaten.''''


    ''''That seems incredibly unfair,'''' Isaac replied with an amused smile.


    ''''Hahaha!'''' Darth bursted intoughter, ''''I don''t know what Arthur was thinking when he created these Dungeons. Some of them are ridiculous.''''


    ''''Yeah... Mine one was quite weird.'''' Isaac replied.


    Darth dodged the branches of the trees and asked, ''''What kind of Dungeon you had? No need to answer if you want to keep it secret.''''


    ''''It was nothing special...'''' Isaac scratched his cheek and said, ''''There were puzzles.''''


    ''''Puzzles... Sounds annoying.''''


    Isaac smiled, ''''It was actually quite enjoyable.''''


    Darth nodded. Soon they arrived in a small part of the forest, which was darker than usual. He looked around the woods, and he still heard distinct voices of his Guild members.


    ''''I think we are far enough. Let''s search around this area.'''' He said.


    Isaac nodded and saw a small rocky hill in the distance, he curiously started walking there, but suddenly he heard a cracking noiseing below him.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac looked towards the ground and saw cracks appearing below him.


    ''''Umm... Darth!'''' Isaac screamed, but then the ground below him cracked, and he fell down to the dark pit.


    ''''Wraith!'''' Darth screamed and appeared next to the pit. He only saw darkness without any signs of Isaac.


    ''''Are you alright?!'''' He shouted, but he didn''t get a reply.


    He went pale and debated whether he should jump down as well, but then he sighed in relief after he heard Isaac''s voice.


    ''''I am fine...'''' Isaac said while patting the dirt from his pants. He looked around him and only saw darkness but in the distance... He saw a light.


    ''''There is some kind of light!'''' He shouted towards Darth.


    *Swoosh*


    A figurended next to Isaac. It was Darth.


    Darth looked towards the light with narrowed eyes.


    Both of them took one step, but then a notification popped up.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [You Have Discovered Cave of Mystery!]


    [1000 XP Earned!]


    [Title of Adventurer Increases the XP by 300%!]


    [1000 -> 4000 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 16 -> Level 17]


    Both of them received XP from discovering Cave of Mystery, except Darth only received 1000 XP for not having the Adventurer title.


    ''''We found a new ce!'''' Darth eximed.


    ''''Should we inform Queen Diana and others?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Pfft.'''' Darth waved his hand, ''''Why should we? This will be our chance of gaining XP, so we can fight against them in Duo Dungeon!''''


    Isaac nodded. His words made sense.


    If they shared this location, Queen Diana and King Jonathan would definitelye here, and the amount of XP they would get will be reduced by a lot.


    ''''Weapons ready,'''' Darth said and put a couple of ordinary arrows on the bowstring.


    Isaac took his Flintlock Pistol and followed behind Darth.


    They walked towards the light, and the closer they got, more they saw the interior of the cave.


    The cave walls were primarily brown, with tree branches popping out of the walls. But, for some reason, there werenterns stuck in the cave walls, which gave excellent visibility for the cave.


    Soon, they reached the ce with the firstntern. They saw a very long corridor with no end sight.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes, and he felt like he saw incredibly far!


    Darth could only see around 100 meters away, but Isaac was easily seeing over 500 meters!


    ''Is this what Diana was talking about... Great eyesight...'' Isaac rubbed his eyes. His eyes started feeling very sore after using his newly found eyesight too much.


    ''''Let''s hurry. Others might start wondering where we are.'''' Darth was the first one to start walking in the corridors.


    Isaac followed behind him. Thenterns gave the cave a somewhat creepy vibe because their shadows were moving strangely.


    Sometimes their shadows were at regr size, sometimes giants and sometimes different genders.


    ''''What the hell is this...'''' Darth looked at the shadow, which was a female version of him. He had very long legs with massive mountains on his chest, simr to Diana''s size.


    Isaac looked at his own shadow, and it was also a female version, but... It waspletely simr.


    A slight bulge was seen on his chest but otherwisepletely simr.


    He lowered his head in disappointment, ''''World is a cruel ce...''''


    Darth punched the wall in hopes of destroying the shadow, but it didn''t do anything.


    Except a small fist mark appeared on the wall.


    He clicked his tongue and started walking again.


    They kept walking in silence, but even after 10 minutes, they didn''t see the end.


    Darth stopped walking and looked around the walls, ''''I swear we have walked past this.'''' He looked at a small fist mark on the wall...


    The same mark he did 10 minutes ago.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac touched the wall, and it felt very soft...


    He soon found out that he couldn''t pull his hand back! The wall started pulling him inside!


    ''''Damn!'''' He screamed, and soon another hand grabbed his own.


    It was Darth.


    ''''What the fuck is this!'''' Darth screamed, he tried to pull Isaac to safety, but soon both of them were sucked inside the wall.


    Soon, the light in the corridors disappeared, and the two figures were nowhere to be seen....

 Chapter 60 - Spawn Spot.

    ''''What is this ce?'''' Isaac looked around. He only saw arge cave with brownish walls.


    Darth looked at the wall, where they came from. He touched it, but it was hard solid, he even tried to break it by using his fist, but not even a scratch appeared.


    ''''Well... We are trapped.'''' Darth said and looked at the spacious room in front of them. There were blue crystals hanging from the ceiling, bringing light to the cave.


    But, the cave didn''t seem to have an exit, only walls, a ceiling, and blue crystals.


    ''''Can you send a message to others?'''' Isaac asked.


    Darth opened his Interface and tried to press Queen Diana''s nametag, but nothing happened.


    ''''No... Weird, usually you can''t message if you are in a battle...'''' Darth narrowed his eyes. He feels like this cave is bing more mysterious with each passing second.


    Darth took one special arrow from his quiver. He put it on the bowstring and aimed it towards the end of the cave, where a wall was located.


    *SWOOSH*


    The arrow left the bowstring and flew straight towards the wall with perfect uracy.


    Once the arrow hit the wall, it broke in half and started glowing.


    *BOOM!*


    The arrow exploded, and a massive dust cloud appeared.


    Isaac tried to use his eyesight to see did it work, but the dust cloud was too thick. He couldn''t see through.


    They had to wait until the dust cloud settled, and once it was gone... They saw a wall, which was perfectly unharmed.


    Not a single scratch on it.


    ''''Tsk.'''' Darth clicked his tongue. They seem to be truly trapped.


    Isaac sighed, but then he took a nce at the ground and saw weird marks...


    They looked like w marks...


    Isaac crouched and touched the marks, ''''Someone has been here before, not yers... But something.''''


    Darth looked at the marks, ''''They are w marks from some Beast, but it looks like they found a way out.''''


    Isaac turned his head towards the blue crystals and wondered the meaning behind them, ''''What are these crystals?''''


    Darth shrugged, ''''No idea, first time seeing them.''''


    ''''I have seen them before...'''' Isaac murmured. He took his Flintlock Pistol and aimed towards the blue crystals.


    *BANG*


    He pressed the trigger, and the bullet left like a cannon.


    *BAM*


    Once the bullet hit the crystal, something strange happened.


    The bullet disappeared... Like it had entered another dimension.


    ''''Hehe, so that''s where we have to go.'''' Darth grinned and was about to start climbing, but then... A figure dropped appeared in the ceiling!


    The figure had four limbs with ck fur covering his body. He had menacing-looking red eyes with whiskers around his nose.


    [Shadow Panther]


    [Level: 20]


    [HP: 220/220]


    Isaac quickly aimed his Flintlock Pistol towards the Shadow Panther and fired!


    *BANG*


    Once the bullet was about to hit the Shadow Panther... It vanished!


    The bullet hit the nearby wall while Shadow Panther was nowhere to be seen.


    ''''Be careful!'''' Darth shouted and was ready to fire with his bow.


    Soon 18 seconds went by, and Isaac could finally reload.


    The Shadow Panther has disappeared into the smoke.


    Darth gulped. He had sweat dripping down his face, but then... He felt small breathing noiseing behind him.


    He widened his eyes. He quickly jumped into the air and fired his arrows towards his previous spot.


    The arrowsnded on the ground, but slight growling noise was heard.


    ''''He is invisible!'''' Darth shouted.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes and looked around the cave. He and Darth were 5 meters away from each other. If one of them gets attacked, it will be easy to help.


    With the corner of his eyes, he saw an outline of a figure climbing the wall... Slowly creeping up to them.


    Isaac slowly moved his Pistol, and once he was sure that the Shadow Panther didn''t notice...


    He turned around and fired!


    *BANG*


    The bullet pierced through the shadowy figure''s body, which caused blue-colored liquid to be sshed around.


    ''''RAAAAAAAWR!'''' The invisibility of Shadow Panthers was now useless. His fur was covered in blue liquid, which wasn''t hidden by the invisibility.


    [-145 HP!]


    Darth quickly fired his ordinary arrows, and soon three arrows pierced through Shadow Panther''s body.


    The Shadow Panther took two shaky steps until it turned into pixels.


    [Darth Killed Shadow Panther!]


    [250 XP Earned!]


    Isaac looked at the notification with a raised eyebrow, ''''Why did I get 250 XP if I didn''t kill it?''''


    ''''The party shares the XP earned, that''s why it is not very profitable to move withrge parties.'''' Darth said, ''''We both earned 250 XP, so if the Shadow Panther was killed by a solo yer, he would earn 500 XP.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''It is worth it, though.''''


    ''''Definitely, we can kill Beasts and Monsters way above level with good teamwork.''''


    Isaac nodded and looked back at the ceiling, ''''Don''t you think it''s weird...''''


    Darth pondered for a moment before he eximed, ''''I think what this is!''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac looked at him with curiosity.


    ''''It is the spawn point!'''' Darth said with a shocked look, ''''The Monsters and Beasts don''t just pop out from thin air. They are being spawned from somewhere, and I think we found it! This is a great discovery!''''


    Isaac gulped, ''''T-Then... There is a chance of the strongest Monsters spawning... Like level 100?''''


    Darth shook his head, ''''I think there are multiple spawn points. Otherwise, the edge of the forest wouldn''t have only low-level monsters.''''


    ''''That makes sense... But it is still dangerous to stay here... What if a dozen monsters around level 20 appears?''''


    Darth looked conflicted, ''''But... I think it is worth it! Level 20 monsters aren''t thatmon after all, especially near the edge of the forest, so we could perhaps use this chance to rack up a lot XP.''''


    Isaac scratched his head and nodded, ''''What if stronger monsters appear? We don''t have an escape route. We arepletely trapped.''''


    ''''Hmm...'''' Darth pondered and looked towards the ceiling. He just had a crazy idea...


    ''''What if... We enter the dimension where the monsterse from?''''


    ''''What?! We would die in seconds!'''' Isaac felt like Darth was indeed crazy!


    Darth grinned and shook his head, ''''No... Apparently, if you enter a dimension that is outside Human Realm, you will be teleported back to the outside world. Maybe that is the exit!''''


    ''''This is a crazy idea... But, I am in.'''' Isaac reloaded his gun and aimed it towards the ceiling.


    Darth grinned and put a few ordinary arrows on the bowstring, ''''Time to start grinding XP!''''

 Chapter 61 - Special Skill.

    *BANG*


    [You Killed Red Lion!]


    [250 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 19 -> Level 20]


    Isaac looked at the notifications with a relieved face.


    They have been here for 3 hours, and finally, he reached level 20.


    Darth reached Level 23.


    The cave had obvious signs of battle, there were few Level 22 Monsters appearing, but they managed to deal with them.


    ''''Eh... I did not get a skill?'''' Isaac looked at Darth with a questioning face.


    Darth was taking heavy breaths while sitting on the ground, ''''The second skill is for level 25.''''


    ''''Ah.'''' Isaac nodded with understanding.


    ''''W-Why aren''t you exhausted?'''' Darth asked with a fatigued face.


    ''''I am quite exhausted,'''' Isaac replied.


    Darth scanned his body, and it looked like Isaac couldst for another few hours, ''''You don''t look like it...''''


    Isaac sat down on the ground, and he decided to assign the stats now.


    ''''Interface.'''' He said simply, and a familiar blue Interface appeared.


    [Name: Wraith]


    [Level: 20]


    [HP: 145/225 - Chain Armor Effect!]


    [XP: 135/4250]


    [SP: 40]


    [White Coins: 1800]


    [Title: Adventurer]

    [Map]


    [Inventory]


    [Help]


    [Friend List]


    [Party]


    [Log Out]


    _______________


    ''''Any ideas where I should put my stat points?'''' Isaac decided to ask from Darth. He seems to be a more experienced one.


    ''''Special stat, Vitality and Agility, they are the most important ones,'''' Darth replied; he was trying to catch his breathing after an exhausting grinding session.


    Isaac nodded and looked at the Precision stat.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac pressed the Precision stat and decided to do a risky choice.


    [PRE: 75 -> 100]


    [SP: 40 -> 15]


    Rest he put on Vitality and Agility.


    [VIT: 50 -> 60]


    [SP: 15 -> 5]


    [AGI: 50 -> 55]


    [SP: 5 -> 0]


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Unexpected notifications popped up in front of Isaac.


    [Precision has reached 100!]


    [Special Skill created!]


    [Precision -> Good Precision Lv1]


    [Good Precision Lv1: Improves the shot uracy by 1%]


    Isaac widened his eyes, ''''H-Hey, Darth.''''


    ''''Yeah?'''' Darth replied.


    ''''How much is your special stat?'''' Isaac asked with a gulp.


    ''''Hmm, around 60.'''' Darth replied. He turned his gaze towards Isaac, ''''Why?''''


    ''''Has anyone reached 100 Stat Points yet?''''


    Darth shook his head, ''''Special stat is necessary, but not many put all their stat points on it. Most of the yers look for bnce, especially yers around level 20, so I don''t think anyone has yet.''''


    ''Am I the first one... Or is there again the people who won''t spread the news about Special skill...'' Isaac turned his head towards Darth and decided to tell him.


    ''''I have now 100 Special stat points.''''


    Darth looked surprised, ''''I see... But you should concentrate more on bnce.''''


    ''''Well... I received a Special skill.''''


    Darth''s face soon turned into shock. He quickly jumped up, ''''For reaching 100?!''''


    Isaac nodded.


    Darth started pondering. He walked back and forth, ''''Is it your stat rted?''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Darth scratched his head, ''''I don''t think this was in the Beta testing phase... What does it do?''''


    ''''Improves my uracy by 1%.''''


    ''''Ah!'''' Darth eximed, ''''Now I get it!''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac furrowed his brows and waited for the following words.


    Darth sat in front of Isaac and looked at his beautiful face, ''''1% seems quite useless, right?''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''It pretty much is, but that is expected. It would be game-breaking if getting to 100 in Special stat gives some overpowered ability, so I think Arthur wanted to make everyone focus on the Special stat for giving special skills for certain milestones!''''


    ''''So... Special stat much have some secret.'''' Isaac''s eyes sparkled.


    ''''That''s right!'''' Darth grinned, ''''I have always thought that the Special stats are quiteckluster, but perhaps they can be evolved in some way... But in what...'''' He pondered.


    But then Isaac replied, ''''Perhaps something to do with Legacies?''''


    Darth had a face of realization, ''''That''s right! Apparently, Legacies can change the ss of the yer, but the Stats always stay the same, and the Stats you have put on your previous Special stat will be transferred to the new one!''''


    ''''Ah, right!'''' Darth eximed and put his Interface in front of him.


    He had 40 stat points left, and his Special stat is on 60...


    Without hesitation and havingplete faith in Isaac''s words, he put all of them into special stat!


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Physique has reached 100!]


    [Special skill created!]


    [Physique -> Good Physique Lv1]


    [Good Physique Lv1: Improves the physique by 1%]


    ''''Oh! You can level it up!'''' Darth eximed, ''''But how... With XP? Nah...''''


    Isaac looked at his own andpletely missed the Lv1 part.


    ''''Maybe... By doing something that usually helps in real life?'''' Isaac suggested, ''''Like, yours is Physique, maybe you should exercise?''''


    Darth turned around and looked at Isaac nkly.


    ''''Wraith.'''' He said with a voice without emotions.


    ''''Y-Yeah?'''' Isaac looked embarrassed. He thought that Darth thought that his idea sucked.


    ''''You are...'''' Darth patted Isaac''s shoulder, ''''A fucking genius! How can you be so fucking smart!''''


    Isaac chuckled and scratched his cheek.


    Darth energetically looked towards the ceiling, ''''It''s time to leave this shithole. The monsters have stopped spawning for a quite long time now... I guess we have killed every monster this dimension holds.''''


    ''''There weren''t too many,'''' Isaac said and stood up.


    ''''There must be other spawn spots near. If monsters spawned without stopping, we could be level 100 in a week''s time.''''


    ''''True...'''' Isaac said and started climbing the wall with Darth.


    The wall had some holes which could be used to climb, but it was easier for Darth because of the Physique stat.


    Isaac had to use his whole body. He didn''t have enough arm strength, so he had to focus on pushing himself up with the help of his legs.


    Soon, they reached the area of blue crystals, their heads almost touching it.


    ''''See you on the other side,'''' Darth said with a grin, he pushed himself up, and his body got sucked inside the mysterious portal.


    Isaac gulped. He took a final look towards the cave, and after that.... He entered the portal.

 Chapter 62 - Spawn Dimension.

    Isaac slowly opened his eyes.


    He expected to see a forest, but he saw something unexpected.


    In front of him was a barren wastnd with nothing except mountains, but that didn''t shock him much. Instead... The sky did.


    The sky wasn''t blue or dark... It was red!


    In the sky, there was also a red moon, which wasn''t that easy to spot, but Isaac could somehow see it very clearly.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [You Have Discovered Spawn Dimension!]


    [1000 XP Earned!]


    [Title of Adventurer Increases the XP by 300%!]


    [1000 -> 4000 XP Earned!]


    [XP: 4135/4250]


    ''''Spawn dimension... Wasn''t I supposed to be teleported back to the forest...'''' Isaac looked around the Spawn Dimension, but there wasn''t any sign of life.


    *RAWR*


    He heard a bone-chilling roar, which caused the earth to shake and the sky to tremble.


    Isaac shakily turned his head towards a mountain, which was crumbling apart!


    *BOOM*


    The massive 1km tall mountain exploded into smithereens and a creature who was the cause of it appeared...


    The creature had a massive pair of bat wings with a scaly torso and barbed tail. Its ws looked like pair of des, and when it was standing on its four limbs, the earth cracked and trembled.


    It had a very long scaly neck with sharp teeth and menacing red eyes. Every time the creature breathed, a small st of fire left its mouth.


    Isaac started slowly retreating. Currently, he felt like he was an ant in front of Apex Predator!


    The words floating on top of the massive creature made him feel even more despair.


    [World Destroying Dragon - Drakelion]


    [Level: ???]


    [HP: ?????????/?????????]


    *RAWR*


    The roar of Drakelion caused the surrounding mountains to crumble apart, and out of nowhere, a rain of meteors appeared in the sky.


    Isaac fell down on his butt and watched as hundreds of meteors flew towards him.


    But then...


    *BANG*


    A gun firing was heard.


    It was like the sound of gun firing was the only thing remaining in the world.


    *BOOM*


    Isaac watched as a small crack appeared in the air, and from there... A single bullet appeared.


    That bullet destroyed barriers of dimensions!


    The bullet traveled towards the Drakelion. The wind pressure around the bullet alone destroyed the meteors until nothing was left.


    *RAWR*


    Drakelion opened its massive jaw, and his throat started glowing on bright red!


    First, a small ball-like item appeared on his throat until it started growing bigger and bigger.


    Soon, the massive ball-like item couldn''t fit in his mouth. That''s why he had to release it on somewhere...


    *RAWR*


    Drakelion spat out the ball from his mouth, which caused a massive explosion to appear!


    The ball exploded, and it was like someone fired a methrower, except the mes were over 10km in height and wide!


    The st of fire had only one target... The bullet!


    The bullet was soon swallowed by the fire, but... The wind pressure around the bullet pushed away the mes!


    Like a small path was forming in front of the bullet.


    Soon, the bullet exited the firestorm and flew straight towards Drakelion!


    Drakelion was around 10km in height, while the bullet was only 1cm in length.


    But still... Drakelion seemed desperate to destroy the bullet!


    He swung his massive limb, which had de-like ws, towards the bullet!


    But he didn''t make it in time because the bullet elerated in speed!


    Drakelion widened his mad-looking reptile eyes in shock, but then, he felt something piercing through him, which caused havoc inside his massive body!


    The bullet pierced through the body like it was nothing and exited from the back. But that alone gave Drakelion grave injuries!


    *RAWR!*


    Drakelion let out a mad cry of agony. He quickly used his massive wings to start flying!


    He couldn''t stay here any longer, or his life will be in danger!


    The wings caused a massive wind pressure to appear... And that wind pressure was aimed towards Isaac!


    Isaac paled as he saw a massive dust cloud nearing his position. It has enough power to kill him thousand times!


    But then... A calm voice rang in his ears.


    ''''Little one, you are still far from this stage... But, maybe one day... I can watch with pride as you are taking down Drakelion with your own hands.''''


    Isaac looked behind him but didn''t find the figure anywhere... Instead, a small portal appeared in front of him, which showed the Forest of Unknown!


    He quickly stood up and started running towards the portal.


    The dust cloud was nearing with deadly speed!


    But... Soon, Isaac entered the portal, and the portal instantly disappeared.


    His previous spot on Spawn Dimension instantly got wiped out from existence.


    Isaac fell down on the ground with his face pale as a sheet.


    ''''There you are!'''' Isaac turned his head and saw Darth running towards him.


    Darth appeared next to him and frowned as he saw Isaac''s dirty clothing and face.


    ''''What happened to you?''''


    Isaac lied down on his back and looked towards the tree branches, which blocked the bright blue sky.


    ''''I am never... Going to enter some random portal, ever again.''''


    Darth tilted his head, ''''It wasn''t that bad.''''


    Isaac looked at him with dead-looking eyes.


    Darth offered his hand.


    Isaac grabbed it and stood up.


    He tried to wipe the dirt from his face but only managed to wipe the most obvious ones while his smooth snow-white skin was still slightly brown.


    His ears were also ringing. The sound of the bullet was the loudest thing he had ever heard before, and he was surprised that his eardrums didn''t explode.


    ''Who is the one with the voice...'' He pondered. The voice seemed gentle but also very powerful.


    There was a tinge of pride about his own strength, but there was also great willpower.


    Isaac remembers the sight of the bullet breaking through the barriers of dimensions and easily injuring the so-called World Destroying Dragon.


    Drakelion also seemed to know the man''s identity. That''s why he was so desperate to run away.


    Such a level of strength... Is unimaginable for humans.

 Chapter 63 - Ambush.

    Isaac and Darth entered the part of the forest where the Guilds should have gathered already.


    Most of the Golden Crown and ck Arrow members have already gathered, except Queen Diana and King Jonathan.


    Darth sighed and rubbed his forehead.


    ''''Where are they?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    ''''Guild Master has a terrible sense of direction. I am not surprised if King Jonathan is feeling very frustrated right now,'''' Darth said with a mocking face. He had to suffer every day, now it was time for King Jonathan, and he was enjoying it immensely.


    After ten minutes more waiting.


    Two figures left the forest.


    ''''We are back!'''' Queen Diana said cheerfully, ''''You guys were so early!''''


    Everyone''s eyebrow twitched.


    King Jonathan looked like a zombie. He was almost dragging his legs behind him.


    Darth snorted, ''Weak! I have to deal with this shit for the whole day!''


    Queen Diana looked towards Isaac and smiled charmingly, ''''Hey, cutie!''''


    ''''Hi...'''' Isaac replied with an exhausted face.


    ''''N-napkin?'''' A shy voice came next to Isaac.


    Isaac turned his head and saw Colorful, his real-life ssmate holding a napkin.


    ''''Oh, thanks,'''' Isaac replied with a smile. He took the napkin and started wiping the dirt from his face.


    Colorful smiled and kept standing next to Isaac. She was only around 150cm; even next to Isaac, who is only 170cm, she looked very short.


    ''''Alright, everyone!'''' Queen Diana stood in the center of everyone, ''''Tomorrow, we will be going to try the Duo Dungeon, but remember one thing... If you aren''t sure of survival, give up!''''


    Everyone nodded.


    ''''Give up?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow.


    ''''You don''t know?'''' Colorful asked.


    ''''Know what?'''' Isaac turned his head towards the adorable girl.


    ''''There are two ways to leave Dungeon, defeat the Dungeon with ordinary means or leave the Dungeon where you came from.''''


    ''''Oh...'''' Isaac frowned. He didn''t have an exit when he went to the Solo Dungeon, ''Loki''s tricks...''


    He felt more confident now about Duo Dungeon, he wasn''t feeling very confident because chances of dying are high, but if they can leave at any time, then it''s not too bad.


    But, if they are able to leave is the question.


    *p*


    King Jonathan pped his hands which gathered everyone''s attention, ''''There must be other Guilds trying to beat the dungeon, so the time is key! We have scouts near the Dungeon, and so far, no big Guild has entered it, which means they must be trying tomorrow as well!''''


    Everyone listened closely. Getting First Clear is a great honor, but it is also extremely difficult.


    Millions of yers are trying to get the First Clear, but only one Duo will be able to get it.


    ''''Level up with your Duo! Try to increase your level as much as you can!''''


    Everyone nodded, and most of them had already left with their Duo''s.


    Darth turned his head towards Isaac and said, ''''Exploring is over. We have already mapped the safe zones and danger zones, so most of them are trying to focus on leveling up.''''


    ''''How far did they explore?'''' Isaac asked.


    Before Darth could answer, Colorful cheerfully replied, ''''We have mapped all the way to the level 30 spawn spots.''''


    ''''Wow.'''' Isaac looked impressed.


    Darth frowned while looking at Colorful, ''''What are you doing here, shorty? Shoo shoo, Wraith and I have the stuff to do.''''


    ''''I am not short!'''' Colorful screamed.


    Isaac scanned her short body, which made Colorful embarrassed.


    ''''I-I will grow!''''


    ''''And pigs fly,'''' Darth said and started dragging Isaac away.


    Colorful puffed her cheeks and stormed towards her Duo, GreenFlower.


    ''''Do you know her?'''' Darth asked while walking deeper inside the forest, ''''You two seemed close.''''


    ''''She is actually my ssmate,'''' Isaac replied.


    ''''Really?'''' Darth looked surprised, ''''Small world.''''


    Isaac chuckled and nodded, ''''Indeed.''''


    Darth looked at Isaac''s face and said aloud, ''''You must be popr, right?''''


    ''''Not really,'''' Isaac replied. He had a lot of friends, but most of them stopped talking to him after his incident, not even asking if he was alright.


    He thought it was weird that even Oliver didn''t ask if he was alright, but now he knows the reason.


    He received a lot of messages from Amelia, but he blocked her number without even looking at the messages.


    ''''Fine, I will ask from Colorful!'''' Darth said with a smug grin.


    ''''Fine...'''' Isaac sighed and scratched his head, ''''I won Junior National Championships in Skiing.''''


    ''''Wow.'''' Darth looked impressed, ''''That''s impressive.''''


    ''''I did quit it, though,'''' Isaac said with a sad smile.


    ''''Why? Skiing is a quite popr sport.'''' Darth asked curiously.


    Isaac sighed, ''''I got bored...''''


    ''''Bored?''''


    He nodded, ''''I liked the rush I felt while Skiing, but once I got used to it... It made me very bored, and I stopped after the Championships.''''


    ''''I wish I was even half as talented as you.'''' Darthmented.


    ''''it''s not rainbows and sunshine... Most of the people think that I was born as Genius, but no one cared about the effort I put in.''''


    Darth saw Isaac''s face turning sad, ''''You alright?''''


    Isaac was about to reply, but then a loud sound echoed in the forest.


    *BANG*


    Isaac widened his eyes. He grabbed Darth from his cor and pulled him out of the way.


    Darth looked confused, but then he heard something fast going past his head and hitting a tree.


    ''''AMBUSH!'''' Isaac shouted and hid behind a tree with Darth.


    *BANG*


    *CRACK*


    A bullet pierced through the tree and hit Isaac in the leg!


    ''''AH!'''' Isaac looked at his leg, which was bleeding blue liquid.


    [You Lost -112 HP!]


    ''''You alright?!'''' Darth cried out.


    Isaac nodded, ''''This ce isn''t safe! I now know his ss and his Skill! We need to run!'''' After those words, he started running like he was possessed. Darth quickly followed behind him.


    Darth took a nce behind him and saw individual jumping in the trees, trying to chase after them.


    ''''What are his ss and Skill?!'''' Darth asked with a shout.


    Isaac took his Flintlock Pistol from his Inventory and said solemnly, ''''His Skill is Wall Breaker!''''


    ''''And his ss is.... Marksman!''''

 Chapter 64 - Battle Of Marksmen.

    The Forest of Unknown was eerily quiet, except in one part of the forest where two figures were desperately trying to run away.


    ''''Marksman...'''' Darth took sneak nces towards the individual who seemed to be holding a very simr weapon like certain someone.


    ''''It must be Umon Flintlock Pistol! He shot two times, and he must be waiting for the reload!'''' Isaac shouted while running in the dark forests.


    ''''Shouldn''t we attack then?!'''' Darth asked and started slowing down.


    But then Isaac''s shout came, ''''No! He still has his Common Flintlock Pistol. Even though it can''t damage much, it will still lower our HP enough to be able to one-shot us with Umon!''''


    ''''Damn!'''' Darth grimaced and elerated his speed.


    The unknown Marksman in trees was chasing them with ease. His agility surprised both of them.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes and scanned the individual''s body, his face was still obscure, but he noticed one thing that made him grow a smile.


    He didn''t have pouches on his waists.


    ''''Darth, leave! I will handle this!'''' Isaac said with a small smile, eyes showing his excitement.


    ''''Are you crazy?! What if you die!'''' Darth shouted, but then he saw Isaac''s eyes which showed his unlimited confidence.


    He sighed, ''''Don''t die...'''' After those words, he ran in the opposite direction.


    Isaac smiled and looked towards the Marksman, who looked confused but decided to chase after him.


    Out of nowhere, Isaac stopped running and aimed the Flintlock Pistol towards one of the tree branches, which was empty.


    The Marksman widened his eyes, but he was already midair, about tond on the tree branch.


    *BANG*


    Isaac pressed the trigger, and the bullet left like a cannon. The barrel started smoking, which could barely be seen in the dark forest.


    But the sparksing from the bullet were easy to notice, and Isaac clearly saw the bullet piercing through the Marksman''s leg!


    [-110 HP]


    ''''Payback...'''' Isaac murmured and quickly hid behind the tree.


    ''''Tsk.'''' The Marksman clicked his tongue and tried to look around the forest but didn''t see Isaac anywhere.


    Isaac was breathing slowly. He used his ears to find out if the Marksman was changing positions. He knows where the Marksman is, while he doesn''t know where he is.


    He has the advantage!


    *nk*


    The Marksman started reloading the gun, and Isaac heard it.


    He has remembered the sound perfectly, and he knows that he has only put 1 bullet on the chamber so far!


    Isaac left his hiding spot and instantly fired towards the tree where Marksman was.


    *BANG*


    The Marksman flinched after the loud sound, and he dropped the bullet he was holding. He quickly jumped backwards andnded on the tree branch.


    Isaac''s bullet hit the tree and got stuck inside.


    He looked anxiously around the forest, but Isaac was nowhere to be seen.


    Isaac had 0 bullets left, he still has his Common Flintlock Pistol, but he is waiting for the reload.


    The Marksman had only 1 bullet in the chamber. He didn''t dare to put the second one, even though he had more than enough time. This is his first proper fight, usually he kills everyone in long-range.


    He should have known that Isaac is currently reloading, but he is too nervous to think straight, while Isaac''s mind is calm as the sea.


    Soon, Isaac reloaded the Flintlock Pistol.


    The Marksman flinched and wondered what the sound was. He thought it was another gun firing sound, but it didn''t sound even remotely close. His nervousness is painfully apparent.


    His hand trembled, and he debated whether he should retreat. His party members warned him to not attack anyone because it could lead to a Guild War, but he saw two very easy kills and decided to go for it.


    He still doesn''t understand how they managed to evade the bullets.


    *Bam*


    ''''Eeek!'''' He cried out and looked at the item that dropped next to him on the branch.


    It was... A small rock.


    ''''Eh?'''' He looked confused, but then a terrifying sound came.


    *BANG*


    An incredibly fast projectile pierced through his head.


    ''''Eh...'''' He stumbled backward and started falling down to the ground, but in the midair, he started turning into pixels.


    Before he touched the ground, he waspletely gone, leaving only a pair of Flintlock Pistols behind.


    [You Killed yer Hotshot!]


    [400 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 20 -> Level 21]


    Isaac left his hiding spot and put the two Flintlock Pistols on his Inventory.


    ''''It worked...'''' Isaac murmured with a calm smile. He took a rock from his pouch and threw it towards the Marksman. He didn''t n to hit him, only nned to distract him.


    That gave him enough time to make a finishing shot.

    [STR: 20 -> 30]


    [SP: 10 -> 0]


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac moved his body around, and it felt strange. He feels stronger but also stiff like something is holding him back.


    ''''Is this what Darth was talking about...'''' He moved his arms around. So far, his body movement always seemed simr to real life, but now that his Strength has increased... He can clearly feel that there is some kind of restriction that is restraining his strength.


    ''''Weird... I don''t think it was supposed to work like this...'''' Isaac frowned. He feels like it is weird for the stiff movement to appear if the yer is getting stronger.


    But, apparently, Level 1 yers are alreadyining about the movement being very different with Bronze VR Helmet, but now Isaac had it... But in Level 21.


    *DING* *DING*

    ''''Why is this not working?'''' Isaac tried to add again Stats on the Strength, but always the error appears.


    ''''Is this a bug?'''' He scratched his head with frustration, ''''Let''s add more Stats on a different one then.''''


    [DEX: 31 -> 41]


    [SP: 10 -> 0]


    Isaac waited for the error message to appear, but nothing happened. The Stat Points were sessfully transferred to the Dexterity stat.


    He rubbed his forehead, trying to think why is this not working.


    *Crack*


    He turned his head in a hurry and saw multiple figures running with anxious looks.


    In front of them were Darth and Queen Diana, who had solemn looks.


    After they saw Isaac, they sighed a relief, but they quickly grabbed their bows and aimed towards the trees.


    ''''Wraith, where is that fucker?!'''' Darth shouted.


    ''''Dead,'''' Isaac replied.


    Most of the ck Arrow Guild members were shocked.


    While Darthughed, ''''Haha, Good!''''


    ''''Cutie-chan, did you see what kind of outfit he was wearing.'''' Queen Diana asked with a wink.


    Isaac rubbed his forehead, it was quite dark, but he was pretty sure he saw some kind of lion symbol on the robes.


    ''''He had Lion symbol... I am pretty sure.''''


    ''''Lion?'''' Darth frowned and looked at Queen Diana, ''''Ever heard of that Guild?''''


    Queen Diana shook her head.


    ''''It is very weak Guild.'''' FirstKill said suddenly, ''''They have few Level 20s while others around 10ish.''''


    ''''They seem arrogant.'''' GreenFlower narrowed her eyes.


    ''''They attacked Isaac... Punishment is Death!'''' Colorful''s eyes looked like two pits of darkness.


    ''''I don''t think he knew who he was attacking,'''' Darth said.


    Isaac nodded, ''''It was dark, even I could barely see his outfit.''''


    ''''I still should go talk with their Guild Master.'''' Darth said, ''''If the Marksman who attacked isplete dumbass, he mightin to his Guild Master, and they might try to hunt Isaac down.''


    ''''If they are being unreasonable, just kill them.'''' Queen Diana said with an innocent voice, even though her words were far from it.


    ''''Roger,'''' Darth replied and ran towards the darkness.


    ''''Let''s rest!'''' Queen Diana said. The ck Arrow members nodded and started doing their own stuff.


    Redless, the ck Arrow members with unique red eyes and hair created a campfire. They could barely see others'' faces. This campfire nicely lightened up the ce.


    Isaac sat down on the ground while his back was touching the tree.


    Queen Diana sat in front of him with an innocent smile, ''''Cutie-chan, I have a request.''''


    Isaac paled, ''''I-I don''t do requests.''''


    Queen Diana giggled, ''''Silly, it is nothing bad!'''' She smiled innocently. She looked like someone who wouldn''t even hurt a fly.


    ''''W-What is it?'''' Isaac gulped and waited with a nervous expression.


    Queen Diana''s innocent smile turned into a sly one, ''''I am nning to d0 a makeup and cosy stream after Duo Dungeon, do you want to be part of it?''''


    Isaac had a bad feeling about this, ''''L-Like, as a cameraman?''''


    Queen Diana giggled and waved her hand, ''''No, silly! I will make you wear very cute outfits and put cute makeup on your face. I swear you will look adorable!'''' Her cheeks had a massive blush with rough breathing. She just fantasized about the scene.


    Isaac paled, ''''Fuck no.''''


    Queen Diana looked serious suddenly, ''''Who taught you naughty words? Was it Darth?! I shouldn''t have let you go with him. He is badpany!''''


    Isaac stood up and sighed, ''''Sorry, I can''t be part of your stream.''''


    Queen Diana pouted, ''''Fine... You would have looked adorable, though...'''' She started sulking with crossed arms.


    Isaac wryly smiled and walked away.


    He looked around, trying to find certain someone.


    Soon, he found a short and petite girl sitting alone while watching the campfire.


    Isaac walked towards her and sat next to her.


    ''''Julia.''''


    Colorful turned her head towards him with a smile, ''''Isaac!''''


    ''''Shh...'''' Isaac put his finger on his lip.


    ''''Oops.'''' Colorful covered her mouth with an apologetic face.


    ''''I don''t want anyone to find my real name... I want to keep this world separated from the real one. I hope you understand.''''


    ''''Of course.'''' Colorful nodded with understanding.


    Isaac looked at her and asked, ''''How is the school?''''


    ''''It''s fine...'''' Colorful said with a sad face, ''''Little bit boring without you, I think many would think the same.''''


    Isaac chuckled, ''''How is the teacher?''''


    ''''Which one?'''' She asked with curiosity.


    ''''Teacher Damien,'''' Isaac said with a gentle smile.


    ''''Oh!'''' Colorful eximed, ''''He is doing good.''''


    ''''Good...'''' Isaac smiled. While most of his friends didn''t visit him, Teacher Damien did every day.


    He was also the one who found him first after his incident. Isaac''s broken body was located on the so-called Temple of Confession.


    Teacher Damien found him and urgently called the ambnce, and managed to keep Isaac alive.


    He was the reason Isaac is still alive.


    It is debt Isaac will never forget.


    Teacher Damien lost his son and wife in a car crash 10 years ago, that''s why he became a very cold and serious teacher.


    Everyone reminded him of his deceased son and wife. He wasn''t close to anyone, but when he saw Isaac dying, it reminded him of his son.


    He couldn''t save his son or wife but managed to save Isaac.


    ''''Say hello to him for me,'''' Isaac said gently and stood up.


    ''''A-Alright.'''' Colorful watched as Isaac walked away.


    GreenFlower appeared next to her and asked, ''''You know him?''''


    ''''Ah... Yes, he is my ssmate.'''' Colorful replied shyly.


    ''''He seems someone who is always being protected,'''' GreenFlower said.


    Colorful started giggling out of nowhere.


    ''''Hmm?'''' GreenFlower frowned.


    Colorful waved her hand, ''''A-Ah... Sorry, your joke was a very good one.''''


    ''''Joke?''''


    Colorful sighed and looked at the campfire, ''''A incident happened with him, but before that... He was the target of everyone''s admiration. He did things that should have been impossible to do.


    He trained only for a week for Skiing Championship, and he won! Some of the contestants have trained since birth, and then Isaac came and won it with ease!''''


    GreenFlower looked shocked.


    Colorful giggled and continued, ''''After that, he quit. But that wasn''t the most impressive feat. I heard rumors that Isaac can control the weather when he is upset, but I think it''s slightly exaggerated.''''


    ''''Slightly?! Controlling weather is impossible!'''' GreenFlower cried out.


    Colorful shrugged, ''''I don''t think he can control the weather, but I think he can summon a snowstorm!''''


    ''You all are crazy!'' GreenFlower screamed internally.

 Chapter 66 - Meeting.

    White Paradise was a beautiful city, surrounded by a clear icyke, and the buildings were made of beautiful blue and white marbles. Snow is covering the ground and the buildings, making the scene mesmerizing.


    The Legacy Company Headquarters hasn''t stopped working even once. The building had lights on 24/7, and the workers have seen entering the building, but rarely did anyone leave.


    The citizens could only look with awe and respected faces as the Company that is changing the world is located in their City!


    Also, the most influential figures in the world are currently staying on that building right at this moment!


    The top floor of the Legacy Company Headquarters has three rooms. One is the one with thousands of screens, the second one is Arthur''s office, and the third one is the meeting room.


    Currently, the meeting room is crowded with people.


    In the main seat of the massive table, which could fit hundreds of people, a handsome middle-aged man with ck hair was sitting peacefully while drinking a cup of coffee.


    All the seats of the table were filled, while hundreds more people were standing, most of them were servants or assistants of the men and women at the table.


    Arthur put the cup of coffee on the table and opened his mouth, ''''I am d everyone could make it with such short notice.''''


    Everyone stayed silent and waited for Arthur to speak more about their purpose of being here.


    ''''I am sure all of you are curious, why are you here, etc.''''


    Everyone in the room nodded.


    ''''Well, first of all... You must have heard the update I am nning to release next week.''''


    Almost everyone nodded, while a few looked surprised.


    One of the shocked ones was a man with short brown hair, grey eyes, and handsome facial features. He was wearing his usual business suit, giving him a look of dignity and sternness. He is Isaac''s father, Maxwell.


    ''Second update already?!'' Maxwell eximed in his mind. This morning when he reached hispany, his secretary was already panicking, saying that he needed to be in White Paradise in 3 hours!


    He managed to arrive just in time.


    ''''I know most of you are waiting for your family members to make a Guilds, etc, before entering the game yourself, but next update will release the World Bank.''''


    ''''What?!'''' A shocked voices came from almost everyone.


    ''''That''s right. Soon game currency can be converted into real-life money.'''' Arthur crossed his arms and waited for the argument to start.


    ''''This is madness! No one has prepared for this!''''


    ''''We didn''t have time to do our preparations!''''


    ''''Cancel this update in this instant!''''


    They didn''t see, but Arthur had a mocking smirk on his face.


    Maxwell looked at the chaos with a shocked face, ''Is he... Is he trying to help poorer families to grow more?!''


    A few others also saw through Arthur''s schemes.


    He is trying to make the preparations of the wealthier families utterly useless so that everyone will have same starting point in the game.


    But richer families have money to spare, and that is a huge advantage, but now families with less wealth have much more to be gained!


    ''He is making himself the enemy of everyone!'' Maxwell cried out.


    Arthur listened with eyes closed, a slight smile on his handsome face.


    ''''This is outrageous!'''' An old man stood up with an enraged face. He had hunched back with a bald head. He could only stay standing with the help of his wooden cane.


    ''''What is, Mister Souldeath?'''' Arthur looked at the old man with narrowed eyes. This old man is one of the ones he is most wary of.


    ''''What are you nning?!'''' The old man screeched, ''''Fate of Humanity is on the stake, and yet you are ying politics?! Are you crazy!''''


    Arthur snorted, ''Politics? Shameless old shit, I am trying to help the unfortunate ones while you guys want to control the game and gain money beyond your wildest fantasies.''


    Arthur stood up and appeared in front of the old man.


    Two muscr men appeared behind the old man. Both of them red at Arthur, ready to cut him in pieces.


    ''''Young generation is indeed foolish.'''' The old man snorted. His height could barely reach Arthur''s neck.


    ''''This game is mine... The Gods have been very displeased with your family''s actions during the Beta testing phase.'''' Arthur said with a bone-chilling voice. A small golden aura appeared around him, making everyone look small like they were in front of an Apex Predator!


    The old man didn''t look afraid. He took a step forwards without any fear on his face, ''''Gods need us.''''


    Arthur snorted, ''''Senile fool, we need them!''''


    The old man gritted his teeth. He turned and stormed out of the meeting hall.


    ''''Souldeath family... They are trouble.'''' Arthur clicked his tongue and sat down on his seat, ''''Any more questions?''''


    Everyone stayed silent, but then one voice was heard.


    ''''Mister Welhenheim.'''' A man with brown hair said and stood up.


    Everyone turned their heads towards the unknown man with frowns. Not many recognized him.


    ''''Maxwell, just call me Arthur. What is it?'''' Arthur said with a smile. Maxwell is one of the few Arthur actually likes.


    He had heard of Maxwell''spany helping the poor folk. His actions made a significant impact on him.


    ''''Are you nning to... Start selling the Mythical VR Helmets?'''' His words made everyone very curious.


    Arthur calmly smiled, ''''Isn''t it too early?''''


    Maxwell awkwardly smiled. He sat down and became silent.


    ''''Good question, though.'''' Arthur stood up and grabbed a box from the desk.


    He put it on the table and opened it.


    Everyone stood up and tried to peek at what was inside.


    Arthur grabbed the item and showed it to everyone.


    The VR Helmet waspletely different from other Helmets so far. It was hard to be called a Helmet because it had only straps tied up in some kind of white visor.


    Arthur put it on his head, but it only covered his eyes while leaving the rest of the head visible.


    The white visor started glowing, and out of nowhere... A suit appeared around Arthur''s body!


    It was a ck skinsuit, which covered every part of his body, except his head.


    ''''This is... The Mythical VR Helmet, it helps to keep the body healthy and energetic. A yer can keep ying as long they want! Hell, they could live inside the game if they wanted to. This VR Helmet will connect the real-life body with the real one, and eating inside the game will also affect the real body!''''


    Everyone became shocked, and some doubtful.


    But then Arthur said, ''''No worries. If you die inside the game, you won''t die in real life. That would be nuts.''''


    Everyone sighed a relief.


    Arthur took off the VR Helmet and looked at Maxwell with a smile.


    ''''Maxwell, catch!'''' He threw in the air, towards Maxwell!


    ''''Ah!'''' He clumsily caught it, almost dropped it.


    ''''It''s yours! Your son is ying right. Give it to him!'''' Arthur grinned and sat down.


    Everyone looked envious, but they didn''t mind.


    They will get one next week, and Maxwell apparently gives it to his son.


    Why should they care if some nobody who won''t seed gets a Mythical VR Helmet which could increase the strength of the yer by tenfold!


    They would start another argument if actually some family with one of the Kings and Queens got hands on it, but Whitelock family is still somewhat known, and they are sure that no one in that family is even remotely close to being a Pro yer!


    Maxwell looked at the VR Helmet and smiled, ''Isaac.... If you decide to keep ying, this will be yours.''

 Chapter 67 - Underground Lake.

    Isaac and ck Arrow Guild had waited for Darth toe back for almost half an hour now. Few of them got nervous, but soon, running footsteps echoed in the darkness.


    Everyone aimed their bows towards the noise, but then they saw Darth appearing.


    ''''Darth-chan!'''' Queen Diana smiled, ''''How did it go?''''


    ''''They apologized,'''' Darth replied with a nonchnt tone.


    Queen Diana pped her hands and stood up, ''''That''s excellent! I guess it''s time to return to the Guild. Here is nothing to hunt anymore, unless we enter other territories, but that can cause a Guild War.''''


    Everyone nodded. Golden Crown had already left to prepare for Duo Dungeon.


    ''''Wraith, youing?'''' Darth asked.


    But Isaac shook his head, ''''No, it''s fine. Thanks for letting me tag along.''''


    Darth nodded and patted Isaac''s shoulder, ''''Tomorrow morning,e to the ck Arrow Guild building, sell your items to us, and after that, we can start our journey to the Duo Dungeon.''''


    Isaac nodded and watched as Darth and others walked to the darkness.


    The campfire which lit up the surroundings died down, and now Isaac was left alone in the darkness.


    He started aimlessly walking in the forest, trying to find one or two monsters for easy XP, but chances were slim.


    For some, the dark forest could be a terrifying ce. A monster or another yer can pop out from anywhere, but Isaac wasn''t afraid even slightest.


    He walked for another 20 minutes, and then... A bright blue light came from the distance. It was like a beacon in this darkness.


    Isaac curiously walked towards the light, and soon he saw the reason for the light.


    There was a beautiful river, which was glowing! It was like there were hundreds of stars on the surface of the water. It was one of the most beautiful sights Isaac had ever seen.


    He exited the forest and stopped in front of the glowing river.


    ''''Camera mode,'''' Isaac said calmly. A small camera appeared in his hand.


    *nk*


    He took a picture of the river and said, ''''Camera mode off.'''' The camera instantly disappeared.


    *nk*


    Isaac perked up his ears. He turned his head towards a mountain with a waterfall. He thought he heard simr noise of camera shuttering.


    He stood up and made his way over to the waterfall, but dly there was an easy path there.


    Isaac arrived in front of the waterfall and narrowed his eyes.


    He put his hand forwards and started moving closer to the waterfall.


    His hand went past the waterfall, but it didn''t hit a rock wall, which means there might be something behind the waterfall...


    Isaac took a deep breath and ran through the waterfall, he was prepared to identally hit a wall, but instead, he entered a cave.


    The cave was very dark, but there was simr blue lighting from the interior of the cave.


    A sound of water dripping and a sound of Isaac''s footsteps were the only things heard in the cave.


    But Isaac was sure that he heard something here.


    He exited the cave corridors and entered arge cave with blue crystals hanging from the ceiling and ake in the middle of the cave!


    ''''An undergroundke!'''' Isaac eximed and looked at the scene with sparkling eyes.


    The glowingke colored the cave walls in bluish colors.


    ''''Camera mode.'''' Again a small ck camera appeared on his hand.


    *nk*


    *nk*


    *nk*


    He took multiple pictures from theke, walls, and about the blue crystals.


    He smiled at the sight and was about to turn around, but then, he heard distinct footsteps nearing this ce.


    ''Someone ising here!'' Isaac anxiously looked around him but only found one hiding spot.


    Without further ado, he slowly started diving inside theke, and soon his body waspletely submerged.


    Three figures entered therge cave.


    The first individual was a young man with pale skin and a sicky-looking face. He was wearing baggy robes with pair of daggers on the side.


    [Turmoil]


    The second individual was a young woman with green robes and auburn hair styled in a ponytail. Her face was above average, with small eyes and a pointy nose. She was holding a greenish wooden cane with the tip slightly glowing.


    [Luck]


    The third figure was crouching and touching the ground. He had short brown hair with a leather shirt, but it also had fur of some animal, but that also gave the man an animalistic vibe. He had a wooden crossbow strapped on his back, while pair of axes was strapped next to his waist.


    [Chase]


    ''''Chase, where is he?'''' Turmoil asked with impatience.


    Luck looked around the cave with a narrowed gaze.


    ''''The scent disappeared.'''' Chase said, he clicked his tongue and stood up, ''''The footprints showed that he entered this ce but didn''t leave.''''


    ''''Are you sure you didn''t make a mistake?'''' Turmoil asked with annoyance.


    Chase looked at him with a dangerous gaze, ''''Watch out, Turmoil, I am very close being tired of seeing your fucking face.''''


    ''''Hmph!'''' Turmoil snorted, not showing even the slightest fear on his face.


    ''''I think the yer that came here is still here somewhere...'''' Luck suddenly said.


    Their gazes turned towards theke.


    Chase grabbed his crossbow and pointed it towards theke.


    Turmoil unsheathed his daggers.


    Luck was ready to heal these two if anything happened.


    Isaac was trying to hold his breath, but his vision was getting blurry. Notifications kept popping up in front of him, signaling that he was about to die.


    [You Lost -2 HP]


    [You Lost -3 HP]


    [You Lost -1 HP]


    [You Lost -2 HP]


    ''Think Isaac... Think!'' Isaac heard the footstepsing closer.


    The shadows already became visible, but the only way for anyone to notice him was if they walked all the way to the edge of theke, and he was sure that they would do that.


    Isaac quickly opened his Interface and took his Flintlock Pistol from the Inventory.


    ''I won''t go down without taking one of you down.'' Isaac used his legs and started swimming towards the surface.


    Soon his head popped out of the water. He took a quick breath and aimed his Flintlock Pistol at the yer nearest to theke.


    *BANG*


    He pressed the trigger with strength and hoped for a headshot.

 Chapter 68 - Hunter Vs. Marksman.

    The bullet left the gun''s barrel like a cannon. Only a trail of smoke was left behind as the bullet flew and hit its mark.


    Turmoil stumbled and felt the blue liquid covering his pale and sickly face.


    ''''Eh...'''' He looked stunned, but it didn''t take long for him to turn into pixels.


    [You Killed yer Turmoil!]


    [400 XP Earned!]


    ''''Fool!'''' Chase shouted and aimed the crossbow towards swimming figure of Isaac.


    Isaac tried to swim to the other side of theke and enter the shore from there.


    But Chase isn''t nning to let him do that. Currently, Isaac is like a rat trapped in a cage.


    *SWOOSH*


    Chase squeezed the trigger and unleashed a rain of arrows towards Isaac''s unguarded figure.


    Isaac took a nce behind him and paled, he quickly submerged in the water and tried to dodge the arrows in the water, but a few lucky shots pierced through his legs.


    ''''Blurp... Blurp...'''' Isaac widened his eyes in shock and forgot to keep his mouth shut. His throat and mouth were soon filled with water, making him feel like he was choking!


    [You Lost 165 HP!]


    [HP: 55/240 - Chain Armor Effect!]


    Chase looked at the surface of the water and couldn''t see what was inside theke.


    Theke was glowing with such intensity that it was already hard to look at it directly.


    But then...


    *SPLASH*


    The water sshed in front of him, and a sharp projectile pierced through his shoulder.


    ''''Motherfucker!'''' Chase cried out.


    [-112 HP!]


    [HP: 119/231 - Special Leather Armor Effect!]


    Isaac quickly appeared on the surface of the water. He quickly swam to the shore and left theke.


    Two arrows were still stuck on his legs, making his mobility difficult.


    Chase clicked his tongue and looked towards Luck, ''''Heal!''''


    Luck tapped the ground with her cane, and suddenly, a green color started spreading around Chase''s body.


    [+50 HP]


    [HP: 169/231 - Special Leather Armor Effect!]


    Chase looked at the figure of Isaac on the other side of theke.


    Isaac bit his lip and pulled the arrows from his legs, it caused him more HP, but it was worth it.


    [You Lost 16 HP!]


    [HP: 39/240 - Chain Armor Effect!]


    Isaac threw the arrows to the water and red towards the man who was holding a crossbow.


    ''''Why are you attacking me?!''''


    ''''You are either foolish or blindly confident in your ability toe here as a solo yer. You are free prey, and now it''s time to hunt the prey.'''' Chase reloaded the crossbow and aimed it towards Isaac.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and started running towards the left. In the distance, he saw a small boulder, which could be used as a hiding spot. He didn''t see it previously because the bright light of theke made the other side of the cave very hard to see.


    *SWOOSH*


    A rain of arrows flew through the air, but a few of the arrows was a lot off course.


    Isaac quickly crouched and heard the sound of arrows flying past his head. He quickly stood up and continued his journey towards the boulder.


    ''''Fuck! Theke is making the visibility shit! Let''s move.'''' Chase said and started running around theke.


    Luck followed behind him, but she was quickly left behind because her agility stat was greatlycking.


    Isaac arrived at the boulder, he quickly dropped his Flintlock Pistol, but the countdown will still continue.


    He took the Common Flintlock Pistol and peeked towards Chase and Luck.


    He saw Chase running like being possessed, and it won''t take long for him to reach his position.


    Isaac took a deep breath and aimed the gun towards Chase.


    *BANG*


    The bullet left like a cannon, and soon it was already in front of Chase.


    But, he did something Isaac had never seen before.


    Chase grabbed his two axes and swung them towards the bullet!


    The bullet hit the steel de of the axe and bounced away!


    The bullet crashed on the ceiling, making a few of the blue crystals crack.


    Chase''s face had a mocking smile. He now knows that Isaac has no bullets left!


    Isaac can''t use the weapons he got from the Marksman he killed, he can only use his two Flintlock''s, and both of them are on reload!


    Isaac looked at his reloading time and only 5 seconds remained... But Chase will arrive in his position in 3!


    ''''Fuck it!'''' Isaac took a sword from his Inventory. Even though he can''t deal any damage, maybe he can stall a few seconds!


    He threw his Common Flintlock on his Inventory, and grabbed the other one from the ground, and strapped it onto his waist.


    Doing that cost enough time, and Chase had already arrived on the boulder.


    He swung his axes, nning to deal a swift finishing blow.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and swung his sword! The two axes and one sword collided, and the winner of that collision was...


    Chase!


    Isaac felt his hands bing numb, and he was sent flying because of the impact of Chase''s attack.


    Chase snorted, ''''Have you not spent any Stats on Strength?! Fool!''''


    Isaac crashed on the hard ground of the cave and lost even more HP.


    [You Lost 21 HP!]


    [HP: 17/240 - Chain Armor Effect!]


    Isaac stood up with numb arms, and his beautiful face morphed into anger.


    ''''Strength is not everything!'''' He shouted and threw his sword towards Chase!


    Chase quickly swung his axes and deflected the flying sword.


    The sword fell on the ground next to Chase.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Isaac''s face finally had a small smile. He stalled enough time.


    [Reloading Is Ready!]


    Chase saw Isaac reaching towards his pouches.


    ''''Not so fast!'''' Chase put his axes back on his waist and grabbed his crossbow. He instantly fired a dozen arrows.


    Luck arrived next to Chase with an exhausted look, she looked at her cooldown time, and only 10 seconds remained until she could heal again.


    Isaac stopped trying to reload. He knew that he wouldn''t survive.


    The arrows were already reaching his position with deadly speed, and dodging was out of the question.


    Chase shot the arrows in the way, which made them block every escape Isaac should have.


    Isaac was sure that he was facing against Pro yer!


    He watched as the arrows closed on him, and it looked like it will be time for his second death...


    But then....

 Chapter 69 - Spellcaster.

    ''''Earth Wall!'''' An unknown female voice rang in the cave.


    Chase and Luck turned their heads in shock and saw a beautiful young woman with ck hair and bright blue eyes. She was holding a 1-meter long cane with a blue lining.


    ''''Spellcaster!'''' Luck cried out.


    Chase turned his head towards Isaac, who should have already died, but then he saw a wall made of brownish earth, which blocked the arrows!


    Some of the arrows pierced through the wall but couldn''t reach Isaac''s body, and some just broke.


    Isaac didn''t know what happened, but he quickly took two Flintlock bullets from his pouch and reloaded his gun.


    Chase and Luck quickly hid behind the boulder.


    The unknown Spellcaster looked at the scene with a pale and nervous gaze. This was her first battle against yers, and she didn''t know what to do!


    Isaac could finally look towards his savior. He saw her standing stiffly,pletely open, without any cover.


    ''''Take cover!'''' Isaac shouted.


    The Spellcaster flinched and looked towards Isaac with a shy look, ''''A-Alright.'''' She started running towards Isaac''s spot, but Chase didn''t make it easy.


    He aimed the crossbow towards the Spellcaster and unleashed a flurry of arrows, but then a nking noise came from the crossbow.


    ''''Shit, reload!'''' Chase grimaced and looked at the reloading time.


    [59...]


    [58...]


    Crossbow is a powerful weapon, but the reloading time is ridiculously long.


    Luck tapped the ground with her cane, and again familiar green color surrounded Chase''s body.


    [+50 HP]


    [HP: 219/231 - Special Leather Armor Effect!]


    The Spellcaster saw a couple of arrows flying straight towards her!


    She paled, but she quickly pointed her cane towards the arrows and said, ''''Wind Summon!''''


    A small burst of wind left the cane.


    The arrows started shaking in midair, and their trajectory changed enough to miss her body.


    She breathed relief and continued her journey towards Isaac.


    Shortly afterward, she arrived next to him.


    ''''Huff... Huff...'''' She took a deep breath and wiped her sweat.


    Isaac turned his head towards her and widened his eyes in shock.


    She became shy under his gaze. She turned her head around and didn''t know what to do.


    ''''L-Luna?'''' Isaac murmured with a shock.


    The Spellcaster, also known as Luna, flinched in shock.


    She turned her head towards Isaac, ''''H-How... D-Do you know my name?''''


    ''''It''s me, Isaac!''''


    ''''Eh...'''' Luna looked at the young man in front of her with a shocked gaze. Isaac''s face was quite dirty, which made his face look quite different, but now that she looked closely... There are many resemnces with the boy she met in the hospital.


    ''''I-Isaac?'''' Luna murmured with a tender voice, soon her face became rosy-colored, ''''A-Ah...''''


    Isaac peeked behind the wall towards the wall and saw that they weren''t doing anything.


    He quickly submerged his face inside the water and washed the dirt from his face.


    He had to use his hands; otherwise, the dirt just wasn''t disappearing.


    Soon, he was done, and he appeared next to Luna.


    ''''See.'''' Isaac pointed at his face, which was the very definition of beautiful.


    ''''Isaac!'''' Luna hugged his 170cm tall body, ''''I missed you!''''


    She rubbed her cheeks with Isaac''s soft cheek.


    ''''I missed you too,'''' Isaac said with a smile and patted her head.


    ''''Nn...'''' Luna nodded with happiness.


    ''''What were you doing here?'''' Isaac decided to ask.


    ''''I saw a beautiful glowing river, and I decided to go check it out... Then I somehow ended up in the cave and saw even more beautifulke!''''


    She giggled and continued, ''''I started taking pictures, but suddenly I heard noisesing from the cave''s entrance... I-I am not very good with people, so I hid!''''


    ''''Ah... I guess it was you, I heard.'''' Isaac nodded with understanding, but then he asked, ''''Why did you help me?''''


    ''''I-I thought they were bad people, ganging up on you...'''' She shyly turned her head away, ''''I-I wanted to help...''''


    ''''Thanks...'''' Isaac pinched her cheek and continued, ''''I would be dead without you.''''


    ''''Hehe.'''' Luna blushed and smiled smugly.


    Isaac tried to peek towards the boulder but was stuck on Luna''s hug.


    ''''Umm, can you let me go?'''' He asked with a slightugh.


    Luna blushed even more. She let go of him and hid her face.


    Isaac peeked towards the boulder and thought it was weird for him to not move.


    ''Reload...'' Isaac narrowed his eyes. He turned his gaze back towards Luna and asked, ''''Can you keep the Healer busy?''''


    ''''I-I can try.''''


    Isaac nodded. He took his second Flintlock pistol from the Inventory and waited for it to be reloaded.


    After 30 seconds, there was finally movement behind the boulder.


    Luck had already healed Chase, and now he had full HP, while Isaac only has 19 HP!


    Chase was wary of the Spellcaster and didn''t dare to attack with only his axes.


    ''''Can you remove the wall and put it back instantly?'''' Isaac asked.


    Luna nodded, ''''But, it will take a lot MP, and I might have only one attack in my arsenal before I go to cooldown.''''


    ''''That''s fine, do it,'''' Isaac said and pointed both of the Flintlock towards the direction of the boulder, but the wall was still blocking his sight.


    Chase left his hiding spot and slowly started approaching the Earth Wall.


    *Tap*


    A tapping sound echoed in the cave, and suddenly the Earth Wall disappeared, and two figures became visible!


    Chase urgently aimed his crossbow towards Isaac, but he had already shot his bullets.


    *BANG*


    *BANG*


    *BANG*


    Chase pressed the trigger of the crossbow and fired a dozen arrows towards Isaac.


    *SWISH*


    *SWISH*


    *SWISH*


    ''''Now!'''' Isaac shouted, and Luna''s cane again glowed, and out of nowhere, an Earth Wall appeared in front of them.


    The arrows broke after hitting the Wall, while Isaac''s bullets hit Chase in the torso and in the leg.


    ''''Fuck!'''' Chase grimaced and looked at how much HP he lost.


    [-201 HP!]


    [HP: 30/231 - Special Leather Armor Effect!]


    He quickly limped back to the boulder. His movements seemed stiff after bullets pierced through his legs.


    He could barely move his legs, let alone run.


    But, before he could reach Luck...


    Luna left the hiding spot and aimed the cane towards Luck, ''''Fireball!'''' A miniature ball appeared in front of her.


    The fireball started flying like a cannon, and it didn''t take long for it to reach Luck''s position.


    Luck paled and watched as the fireball hit her face.


    *BOOM*


    A small dust cloud appeared in the cave.


    ''''Luck!'''' Chase shouted, but then he got a message which told that Luck was dead...


    ''''Useless! Everyone is useless!'''' Chase grimaced and hid behind the boulder.


    ''''I did it!'''' Luna said cheerfully and sat next to Isaac, waiting for praise.


    ''''Excellent!'''' Isaac said with a grin.. He has to wait for his Flintlock to reload, then it''s time to decide the winner of this battle.

 Chapter 70 - Winter Illness.

    Chase felt like his situation was very dire, he has survived many tough spots before, but there is no way he could win against both of them.


    He came to a conclusion.


    ''''Hey!'''' He shouted towards Isaac and Luna.


    ''''What?'''' Isaac''s calm voice echoed in his ears.


    ''''I offer peace! Let''s part ways, and I won''t bother two of you ever again, deal?''''


    Isaac looked towards Luna and whispered, ''''How long till the cooldown is over?''''


    Luna looked at the screen in front of her and whispered, ''''20 seconds and I can use one more attack.''''


    Isaac nodded and shouted, ''''Drop half of your stuff, then you may go!''''


    Chase grimaced, ''''Don''t push your luck! I can still kill both of you!''''


    ''''You can''t even kill a cripple with your current HP!''''


    ''''I have more than enough!'''' Chase aimed his crossbow towards the Earth wall and debated whether he should try running towards the exit of the cave.


    His opponent might not be able to hit him if he ran fast enough.


    But it is a gamble.


    One lucky shot and he is dead.


    Isaac put his Flintlock pistol on the ground and took his Slingshot from his Inventory.


    He put a few rocks on the rubberband and peeked towards the boulder, but instantly arrow flew past his face, almost impaling him.


    ''''Whew... Close one.'''' Isaac took a deep breath, he left his hiding spot and fired a couple of rocks towards Chase


    Chase managed to only fire one arrow until he saw rocks flying towards him. He quickly hid behind the boulder and heard the nking sound of rocks hitting a wall.


    Isaac quickly went behind the wall while one arrow flew past him.


    ''''Afraid of some rocks?!'''' Isaac shouted with a grin.


    ''''It is called being smart!'''' Chase shouted with a twitching eyebrow, ''''Every HP counts in the battle. You should learn that!''''


    Isaac smiled and looked towards Luna, ''''How long?''''


    ''''5 seconds...'''' Luna whispered with an anxious look but also amazement.


    She understood what Isaac was doing.


    Stalling time.


    Isaac grabbed the Flintlock pistols from the ground and took a deep breath.


    ''''Now,'''' Luna whispered and took a deep breath. She felt incredibly nervous, but she didn''t want to be a burden.


    ''''You can do it,'''' Isaac said with confidence.


    Luna smiled and pointed her cane towards the ceiling.


    Or more precisely, towards the ceiling, which was above Chase.


    The blue crystals in the ceiling started shaking, threatening to drop at any time.


    ''''Wind Summon.'''' She whispered, and a small burst of wind caused the blue crystals to start falling from the ceiling!


    Chase turned his head in shock and saw dozens of blue crystals falling towards him!


    ''''Damn!'''' He cried out and had to leave his cover.


    The blue crystals cracked apart after touching the ground.


    Chase pointed his crossbow towards the Earth Wall, he was nowpletely exposed, and there was no way he would let Isaac have a free shot while he was trying to return to the boulder.


    ''''Bring it on!'''' Chase shouted and started sniffing the air.


    *Sniff*


    He smelled two different scents behind the Earth Wall.


    Chase started slowly moving closer to the entrance of the cave. Tiny sweatdrops trickled down his vicious-looking face.


    ''Why isn''t he doing anything...'' Chase felt cold sweat pouring on his back. He was slowly approaching the entrance of the cave.


    He was only a step away from reaching the corridor of the cave, but then a rumbling sound came behind him.


    ''''No!'''' He shouted, but then a Earth Wall appeared, which blocked his path.


    He was moving so slowly that Luna''s cooldown ended and managed to do another spell.


    *BANG*


    A loud sound came behind him. Chase widened his eyes and quickly jumped to the side.


    The bullet pierced through the Earth Wall.


    Chase aimed his crossbow towards the Earth Wall and put his finger on the trigger, ready to press with moment''s notice.


    But then... A figure appeared from behind the boulder! He had beautiful white hair with a Flintlock Pistol on his hand.


    ''He changed positions!'' Chase screamed internally, he quickly tried to aim his crossbow towards the young man, but then another terrifying sound came.


    *BANG*


    The young man''s Flintlock Pistol started smoking, and Chase only saw a round item flying towards him.


    ''''Well yed...'''' He murmured and watched as the bullet pierced through his torso.


    The feeling was very ufortable. It was like something slimy moved inside his body.


    He dropped his crossbow and unwillingly turned into pixels.


    The crossbow also disappeared and was sucked inside Chase''s Inventory!


    But, the two axes were left behind.


    [You Killed yer Chase!]


    [600 XP Earned!]


    Isaac sighed and put the Flintlock pistols back on the Inventory.


    He grabbed the two axes and put them on the Inventory as well. He saw the Earth wall disappearing into pixels.


    ''''You did it!'''' Luna hopped towards him and said cheerfully.


    ''''You helped. Sorry that you couldn''t get any XP.''''


    Luna shook her head, ''''It''s fine! This was fun! Let''s go fight more people!''''


    Isaac paled and shook his head, ''''N-No, my HP is quite low.''''


    ''''After that?'''' Luna tilted her head and asked with her innocent voice.


    ''''Ah... I am feeling quite tired. I have fought entire day.'''' Isaac said with a wry smile and sat down on the hard ground.


    Luna nodded and sat next to him, there was more than enough space, but she sat so close to him that Isaac could feel her bodily warmth.


    She innocently fidgeted her toes while looking at the beautiful river.


    ''''I have wanted to know one thing for a quite long time...'''' Isaac said suddenly.


    ''''What is it?'''' Luna asked with a sweet smile.


    ''''Why are you in the hospital?''''


    ''''Ah.'''' Luna''s face turned into a sad one, ''''My body... Is quite weak, and I could die from a simple nosebleed.''''


    ''''Isn''t that...'''' Isaac looked shocked.


    Luna nodded, ''''Winter Illness.''''


    ''''Oh...'''' Isaac''s face turned into a sad one.


    ''''No need to be sad!'''' Luna smiled and stood up. She energetically hopped around, ''''I might not be able to leave the hospital in real life, but here I can do everything!''''


    ''''That''s right....'''' Isaac looked towards the river and had a heartfelt smile, ''''This ce is indeed magical.''''

 Chapter 71 - Maxwell.

    The gates of the Whitelock Residence were opened, and arge ck car entered the premises. The car drove smoothly all the way to the garage.


    The garage already had two beautiful sports cars and a silver jeep.


    The car parked nicely next to them, and the engine instantly turned off.


    Inside the car, Maxwell took the keys and looked at the box on the front seat. It was a quite small cardboard box, but the item inside was incredibly valuable.


    He put the keys in his pocket and gently took the box, trying to not harm it in any way.


    Maxwell left the car and slowly started walking towards the door, which leads to the mansion.


    He carefully opened the door and entered the mansion.


    Instantly the warmth surrounded his figure, and a familiar scent of cooking assaulted his nostrils.


    Maxwell walked past the kitchen and entered the living room, where Alice and Mark were watching TV.


    ''''Hey, dad!'''' Mark said cheerfully.


    ''''Mark, where is your mother?'''' Maxwell asked.


    ''''Kitchen!'''' He pointed with his small arm towards the kitchen.


    A head popped from the open kitchen door, ''''Yes, honey?'''' Isabe asked. Her ck hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she was wearing a beautiful apron, which made her look like a housewife.


    ''''Nothing... It can wait.'''' Maxwell said and started walking towards his office, which was located on the second floor.


    ''''Alright!'''' Isabe said cheerfully and continued her cooking with dozen other servants.


    Maxwell entered his office and put the box gently on the desk. He turned around and took a painting from a wall.


    Behind the painting, a safe was located. It had a fingerprint scanner and a code.


    Maxwell first pressed the code and then put his finger on the scanner.


    *Beep* *Beep*


    *nk*


    The safe opened. It waspletely empty except... There is another wooden box with beautiful golden lining, it wasn''t toorge of a box, only around 10cm in length, but there was obviously something important hidden there.


    Maxwell grabbed the cardboard box and put it on the top shelf of the safe.


    ''''One day...'''' He murmured while looking at the wooden box. He closed the safe and put the painting back on the wall.


    The painting had three figures. The first figure in the painting looked simr to Maxwell but slightly younger, while the two figures behind him were around the 60s.


    The first figure was an old woman with a height of 160cm. Her face looked quite attractive; she was definitely a gorgeous woman when she was younger. Her hair was already turning slightly grey, with a small portion of her hair being brown. She was smiling gently while standing next to the man who was almost identical to Maxwell.


    The second figure was a grumpy-looking old man with short ck hair, with the sides of the hair being grey. He was quite muscr even though he looked like he was nearing his 60s, maybe has already entered, but he looked younger than someone of his age should.


    Maxwell sighed and opened the door. He took a final nce at the painting and left the office.


    He was about to go talk with Isabe, but then he remembered a certain someone.


    Instead of going downstairs, he went upstairs, all the way to the fourth floor.


    He stopped in front of a door with a namete on the door.


    [Isaac]


    *Knock* *Knock*


    He knocked a few times and asked, ''''Isaac?''''


    After hearing no answer, he opened the door and saw a figure lying on the floor with a blue helmet covering his face.


    Maxwell closed the door and walked next to the bed.


    He sat down on the bed and looked at Isaac''s face underneath the visor.


    He sat in silence for 10 minutes until the door was opened and a beautiful ck-haired woman entered.


    ''''Maxwell?'''' Isabe walked next to him and touched his shoulder tenderly, ''''What is it?''''


    ''''It''s nothing...'''' Maxwell sighed.


    ''''What is it, tell me.'''' Isabe put her slender arms around his neck and her head on his shoulder.


    Maxwell sighed and said, ''''What if... The same thing happens with Isaac and me.''''


    ''''You are talking about... Your parents?'''' Isabe''s face turned into a sad one.


    Maxwell gently nodded, ''''My mother again called mest week... I am sure she wanted to talk about White Online, but I didn''t answer.''''


    ''''It''s all my fault...'''' Isabe whispered, ''''Maybe... They want to fix the rtionship with you?''''


    ''''I don''t know...'''' Maxwell looked at her, ''''They didn''t want me to marry you, and they are finally calling me, just before White Online got released, isn''t that fishy?''''


    Isabe shook her head, ''''I don''t know... And I don''t me them for not epting our marriage... You were their only son after all, and I was a young shopkeeper with an empty wallet.''''


    ''''They are so old-fashioned... They wanted only arranged marriage to improve their status.'''' Maxwell said with a pained face.


    ''''That''s not true...'''' Isabe touched his hair and said, ''''They loved you, and I am sure they would have fixed your rtionship if your father wasn''t such tsundere.'''' She giggled slightly.


    Maxwell wryly smiled, ''''His head is so thick that not even de can pierce it.'''' He looked at Isaac and smiled, ''''When it''s time for Isaac to marry... Will I be able to approve his choice?''''


    Suddenly Isabe''s grip tightened, ''''My baby boy won''t marry anyone!''''


    Maxwell looked at her with a wry smile, ''''Aren''t you very much like my mother right now?''''


    ''''Hmph!'''' Isabe pouted. She crossed her arms and said, ''''Isaac will always stay with me!''''


    ''''Who knows, maybe he has already found someone in the game,'''' Maxwell said with an amused smile.


    Isabe paled, ''''N-No!''''


    Maxwell chuckled and looked at Isaac, ''''Hey, what if we send Isaac to visit my parents? He has never met his grandparents before, and who knows... Maybe my parents will notice that our marriage wasn''t a mistake.''''


    Isabe kissed his cheek and said, ''''It is Isaac''s decision. Let''s ask him tonight.''''


    Maxwell nodded and stood up, ''''I have something to talk about... About the meeting.''''


    Isabe nodded and left the room with Maxwell while holding hands.

 Chapter 72 - Crack.

    The sky above Forest of Unknown becamepletely dark, making the forest look even darker. Now it''spletely pitch ck, it''s impossible to see where you are walking, and it is also incredibly dangerous to walk in the Forest of Unknown at night because there are Monsters and Beasts who have night vision.


    That''s why most of the Guilds and Parties have left the forest, but there are two figures who have beenpletely forgotten.


    In a certain cave, two figures were seen. The cave was still bright because of the glowing river and blue crystals hanging from the ceiling.


    A beautiful ck-haired girl was innocently swimming in theke, she had a cheerful smile, but her swimming looked quite amateurish.


    ''''You are doing great.'''' Isaac said, ''''Keep your arms stretched.''''


    ''''A-Alright.'''' Luna did as she was told and continued swimming.


    Isaac has taught Luna to swim because apparently, she couldn''t swim in real life. She learned the basics almost instantly, and now she is already quite decent.


    She kept swimming for another minute until she became too exhausted to continue. She arrived on the shore and left theke with an exhausted smile, but her face still had her cheerfulness.


    ''''That was fun.'''' She said with a giggle. She kicked her legs in the water and tried to catch her breathing. Her beautiful face, which almost looked like the face of a porcin doll was dripping with water, making her smooth and delicate-looking face even shinier.


    Her long ck hair looked shiny and clean. It was like theke had some kind of charming effect.


    Luna looked towards Isaac, who looked like he was daydreaming, ''''Thanks for teaching me swim!'''' She said with a sweet smile.


    Isaac was brought of his thoughts. He gave a simple thumbs up and replied, ''''No problem.''''


    Luna tilted her head. She saw Isaac''s face turning intoplete concentration, ''''What is it?''''


    ''''Hmm... I swear I saw something in the bottom of theke while I was washing my face.'''' Isaac put his face closer to theke and soon submerged.


    He narrowed his eyes while underwater and looked at the bottom of theke. The bottom of theke had a bunch of blue crystals, which might be the reason for the glowing effect, but he was sure that he saw something else...


    Soon... He found a crack on the bottom of theke!


    ''The water ising here from somewhere... But from where... Should I check it out... Of course! What is the point of games if I don''t n to adventure a little bit.'' Isaac pulled his head from the water and looked at Luna.


    ''''Wanna go for an adventure?'''' He asked with his hair beingpletely wet. Small waterdrops trickled down his smooth skin moving all the way to his chin and dropping to the ground afterward.


    ''''Adventure!'''' Luna looked excited. She looked like a kid about to receive her birthday present.


    Isaac opened his Interface and looked at how much time he had left.


    [01:56:54.07]


    Less than 2 hours.


    Isaac isn''t worried about Luna''s time limiting up. She has a Legendary VR Helmet, after all.


    ''''Well, then.'''' Isaac pressed two buttons in front of him, and instantly his Chain Armor was sucked inside his Inventory.


    The only thing left was his wet shirt and leather pants.


    Luna innocently smiled. She wasn''t wearing any armor, only her Spellcaster robes which also gave her an increase in HP.


    It also doesn''t hinder her movements at all.


    Isaac felt that it was incredibly ufortable swimming while wearing Chain Armor, so he decided to take it off.


    ''''Give me your hand,'''' Isaac said.


    Luna put her soft and delicate arm forwards while Isaac grabbed her hand.


    ''''Alright, I will show you the way,'''' Isaac said and jumped to the water.


    Luna entered the water slowly. She took a deep breath and submerged herself in the water.


    Isaac started swimming towards the crack while Luna let him drag her.


    The light from the blue crystals forced Luna to close her eyes, but Isaac didn''t mind and arrived in the small crack, which could fit one person.


    Isaac stopped diving. He turned towards Luna, who had her eyes closed.


    He tapped her shoulder a few times, which caused Luna to open her eyes. The first thing she saw was Isaac''s beautiful grey eyes.


    Isaac pointed at the crack, and Luna instantly understood.


    Luna was the first one to enter through the crack. Hher body was quite petite, which made it easy for her to enter the crack.


    She looked slightly afraid because suddenly everything was dark and she felt her falling down to a dark abyss.


    Isaac entered the crack next and used the walls of the crack to increase his pace of falling.


    Soon, he saw an outline of a figure.


    Inside the crack, there was more space which helped Isaac to move next to Luna.


    Luna looked around her anxiously, trying to find Isaac, but then she felt something touching her hand.


    She almost started screaming, but then she recognized the warmth of the hand.


    She turned her beautiful ocean blue eyes towards the figure and slightly saw the outline of Isaac''s face.


    Isaac looked below him and saw nothing but dark.


    If there is nothing here, they have to swim back to the surface, but he is afraid that Luna might not be fast enough to not drown.


    He felt her hand tremble, but he was confident that there was something here!


    Isaac already had difficulties of breathing, but Luna was even in a worse situation. Her face was bing purple, but the end was nowhere to be seen.


    When all hope seemed to be lost...


    A small blue light appeared below them.


    Isaac widened his eyes and increased their paces.


    Luna desperately tried to keep her mouth shut.


    Isaac slightly moved his position and started pushing Luna towards the bright light.


    Soon, they arrived in the blue light.


    Both of their bodies got surrounded by blue light, and both of them suddenly disappeared from the dark abyss, and once again... A notification popped up.


    [Mythical Figure Can''t Locate You!]

 Chapter 73 - Snowflake.

    ''''AH!'''' Luna took a deep breath of fresh air. Her beautiful ck hair waspletely wet, while her spellcaster robes managed to absorb some of the water, which kept her clothes somewhat dry.


    She tried to use her hands to push her up, but then she felt her hands touching something very coarse and gritty.


    ''''Eh.'''' She opened her beautiful eyes wider and saw her lying on the sand!


    She quickly looked around her and saw an endless beach with a forest not far from her.


    Luna slowly stood up and looked towards the endless sea with calm waves. A small st of wind kept pushing her wet hair to the side.


    But then, she remembered a certain white-haired young man.


    ''''Isaac?'''' She looked around her, but didn''t see anyone, ''''Isaac?!''''


    She anxiously went back to the water.


    She thought that Isaac might still be in the water.


    But, when her whole body waspletely inside water, she only saw beautiful scenery of corals and underwater life, but she couldn''t find the one she wanted to find so desperately.


    She quickly swam back to the surface.


    *Ssh*


    Luna swam back to the shore and kept shouting, ''''Isaac?! This is not funny! Where are you?!''''


    Small teardrops started appearing in the corner of her eyes, ''D-Did he die?''


    ''Isaac... Please, you are my first friend!'' Luna fell down on her knees and started sobbing. She covered her tear-stained face with her frail-looking hands.


    *SPLASH*


    Suddenly a massive ssh appeared behind her, and a figure crawled from the water.


    Luna anxiously turned her head and widened her eyes in shock.


    ''''Ugh...'''' Isaac spat out a mouthful of water.


    ''''Isaac!'''' Luna screamed with happiness. She appeared next to him and asked, ''''Are you okay?!''''


    Isaac shakily nodded, ''''I-I don''t know what happened... I felt like two individuals were trying to y a tug of war with my body, but finally, one of them won, and I ended up here...''''


    ''''Y-You scared me, I-I thought you died.'''' Luna wiped her tears and tried to smile cheerfully.


    ''''I am starting to regret going here...'''' Isaac stood up with an aching body. He looked around the beach, ''''Where are we...''''


    ''''There is forest!'''' Luna pointed at the forest in the distance.


    ''''Let''s try to find out where we are.'''' Isaac put his Interface in front of him and checked out the [Map]


    The map only showed Stronglord City and Swornword Vige. There was also a slight outline of Forest of Unknown, but it wasn''tpletely visible. After all, they have explored less than 1% of it.


    Isaac closed the map and took his Flintlock Pistol from his inventory.


    Luna grabbed her Spellcaster''s cane tighter and followed behind Isaac towards the forest.


    The forest was full of palm trees and greenish nature, which was flourishing. The ground was pure green, with flowers popping out every now and then.


    ''''Beautiful...'''' Luna murmured with amusement. She crouched and touched the flower gently.


    The flower gently moved back and forth, like it was enjoying the gentle nature of Luna.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Luna giggled and had a cheerful smile on her face, ''''Isaac, look!''''


    Isaac turned his head and saw the heartwarming scene.


    Suddenly, the wind started elerating in speed.


    ''''No!'''' Luna screamed as the flowers were pulled from their roots. She tried to catch them, but the flowers were already flying away towards the unknown.


    Isaac covered his face as the burst of wind pushed him backward.


    ''''Earth Wall!'''' Luna tapped the ground, and instantly a brownish wall appeared in front of them, but the wall instantly cracked, and the wind made the broken pieces of wall fly straight towards Isaac.


    ''''Isaac!'''' Luna screamed with a horror-filled face.


    Isaac anxiously jumped to the side. The broken parts of the wall collided with a nearby palm tree and got destroyed in pieces.


    ''''Luna,e here!'''' Isaac shouted. For some reason, the wind only blew in one position. In the position, Isaac and Luna were.


    ''''I-I can''t!'''' Luna was desperately hugging the tree; otherwise, she would be already flying who knows where.


    The wind was elerating with even greater speed.


    Isaac put the Flintlock pistol back to his Inventory and put his hand forwards. His hand was instantly shaking. The wind pressure is pushing his hand back.


    ''''Grrr!'''' He gritted his teeth and pushed his hand forwards, but with his almost nonexistent strength, it was a difficult challenge.


    ''''Luna! Grab my hand!'''' Isaac shouted as loud as he could. The wind caused his beautiful snow-white hair to fly around his already angelic face.


    Luna''s hold was slipping, and she could only barely hear his voice.


    She turned her teary eyes towards Isaac. She put her right arm around the tree and pushed her left arm towards Isaac.


    Veins popped in Isaac''s frail and soft arm as he pushed his arm forwards as hard as he could. A rain of notifications was popping up on his screen, which told him that his HP was dangerously low!


    His hand reached closer and closer. His fingertip was only an inch away from touching Luna''s hand.


    Luna felt hope rising, but then the wind st targeted her right arm, which made her slip!


    She widened her eyes in horror as she started flying backwards.


    Isaac pushed his body inside the wind pressure, which caused his HP to drop even faster!


    [HP: 31/240 - Chain Armor Effect!]


    [You Lost -3 HP!]


    [HP: 28/240 - Chain Armor Effect!]


    [You Lost -3 HP!]


    [HP: 25/240 - Chain Armor Effect!]


    Isaac''s beautiful grey eyes started slowly changing... It was an almost invisible change, but his eyes began having blue rims, which was almost invisible to notice.


    The bright blue sky started slowly changing... It became grey, and something started falling... It was very small and almost invisible.


    Isaac grabbed Luna''s hand and pulled her to safety.


    ''''Ahh!'''' Luna breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Isaac, who was lying below her.


    Her petite figure was hugging his fragile but also soft body. Her small and soft breasts were pushed against Isaac''s chest.


    ''''Thanks...'''' She shyly said while her face was only an inch away from his.


    ''''No problem...'''' Isaac said with a smile while a small hue of pink was on his cheeks.


    Luna stood up and helped Isaac to stand up.


    They looked at the destroyed forest in front of them with mouths agape.


    Everything waspletely destroyed. Trees were pulled from their roots, while the beautiful grasnd waspletely gone.


    While they were focused on the destruction in front of them, they didn''t notice the grey sky disappearing.


    And also... The thing which left the sky finallynded on the ground.


    It was small...


    Snowke.

 Chapter 74 - Mountain.

    ''''This is strange...'''' Isaac murmured while looking at the destroyed forest in front of him.


    ''''What is?'''' Luna cutely tilted her head.


    ''''Why did the wind attack only us? Why this part of the forest...''''


    ''''Who knows how mother nature works,'''' Luna said with a smile.


    ''''That the thing...'''' Isaac looked at her and said, ''''I don''t think this was a work of mother nature, instead... Someone attacked us with a spell.''''


    ''''Like... Wind summon?'''' Luna asked while looking at her cane.


    Isaac nodded, ''''That''s right, but the wind was much stronger than yours... This means that the one who attacked us must be extremely high level.''''


    ''''Should we leave?'''' Luna asked with a nervous expression.


    ''''We need to find the exit.'''' Isaac looked frustrated.


    ''''M-Maybe we can wait till the time limit is over? Then we would be teleported to our spawns.'''' Luna suggested.


    ''''That could work... But, I have Bronze VR Helmet while yours is Legendary.'''' Isaac looked at her with a downcast look, ''''I would be teleported out in less than 2 hours, while you need to wait at least 20 hours more.''''


    ''''Ah right...'''' Luna pursed her lips, but then she said with a firm and nervous expression, ''''I-I can wait for 20 hours alone, w-we just need to find a good hiding spot!''''


    ''''What if you get attacked again?'''' Isaac shook his head, ''''Way too risky, and if you wait for 20 hours, you would be left behind by other yers.''''


    ''''I-I don''t care about levels... I just want to enjoy the world as much as I can.'''' Luna said with a firm expression and continued, ''''Maybe I can log out! That allows me to get teleported into my spawn area!''''


    Isaac sighed and put Interface in front of him.


    ''''We are in Battle State... If you log out, you cannot log back in for three days.''''


    ''''Oh...''''


    ''''It is my fault, I shouldn''t have suggested this, I am sorry.'''' Isaac lowered his head, ''''I thought it would lead to another cave, but this was not within my expectations.''''


    Luna tenderly touched his hand, ''''It''s not your fault! I wanted toe!''''


    Isaac looked at Luna''s beautiful blue eyes, but then he remembered...


    ''''Did you see where the wind came from?'''' He asked with a frown.


    Luna pondered for a moment, ''''I think... It came from the direction of that mountain!'''' She pointed towards the tall mountain in the distance. It was also the only mountain on this small ind.


    ''''Time to go see our attacker...'''' Isaac narrowed his eyes and stood up.


    Luna let go of his hand and stood up with an energetic expression.


    She hopped behind Isaac while he was carefully moving forwards. He had his Flintlock pistol ready to shoot anything that moved.


    ''''Are you going to visit me in hospital one day?'''' Luna asked cheerfully.


    ''''Can''t we meet in the game?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    Luna pouted, ''''That''s not the same!''''


    ''''Really?'''' Isaac looked at her and tilted his head, ''''Sure, I can visit... But, why?''''


    Luna''s face became sad, ''''The nurses won''t let me y much... They need to do all kinds of tests with me, and I have another surgerying next week... Even though it won''t help.''''


    ''''I heard all kinds of new medicines has been found, it is only a matter of time before Winter Illness gets cured, have some faith.'''' Isaac patted her head and said with confidence.


    Luna giggled and became cheerful again, ''''You sure know how to cheer someone up!''''


    Isaac chuckled, and his face became mncholic, ''''Yeah... I have heard those words before.''''


    ''''Is everything alright?''''


    Isaac waved his hand and said with confidence, ''''I am fine. I will visit you the day after tomorrow.''''


    ''''Alright!'''' She said with a sweet smile, ''''I will be waiting!''''


    ''Time for mission impossible... How to get out of the mansion without anyone noticing.'' Isaac started pondering how he could escape the mansion without bodyguards or his family noticing.


    ''''My mommy and daddy are quite busy, so they can only visit me once a day, but I won''t be lonely anymore!''''


    ''''Do they know you are ying White Online?''''


    Luna nodded, ''''They bought me the VR Helmet. I didn''t even know what White Online was, but they seemed very excited and wanted me to try it out.''''


    She cheerfully hopped around and continued, ''''I thought the game seemed very strange at first. I met a nicedy when I first logged in, and she told me all kinds of stories!''''


    ''''Nicedy...'''' Isaac frowned and asked, ''''Was her face ice cold and was annoying?''''


    Luna giggled and shook her head, ''''She was nice! She told me all kinds of stories about the Peak of White Online!''''


    ''''Peak?'''' Isaac started bing curious.


    ''''Apparently, we are currently in the bottomyer of White Online. The higher we go, the stronger opponents and more beautiful scenery will be waiting for us! The Peak of White Online ispletely covered in snow, and it is the greatest sight in the entire world!''''


    Her eyes sparkled as she said, ''''I want to reach the Peak and see the scenery with my own two eyes!''''


    ''''Peak...'''' Isaac murmured.


    ''''We have arrived!'''' Luna shouted and pointed at the mountain in the distance.


    Isaac frowned and sawrge stairs going straight towards the middle of the mountain. It was like someone made them on purpose to invite them in.


    The stairs were around 3km in length, and they would take them straight towards the middle of the mountain whererge doors were located.


    ''''M-Maybe, the owner of that residence, was toozy to climb every time, so he made stairs?'''' Luna guessed with a silly face.


    Isaac bit his lip and resistedughing.


    ''''Y-Yeah... Maybe that was the reason.''''


    ''''Nn!'''' Luna nodded proudly. She puffed her chest forwards in pride.


    ''''Stay here. I will check out if there are traps,'''' Isaac said and exited the forest. The stairs were only 10 meters away from him, but the distance felt impossible to cross.


    Luna looked nervously at the scene and had her cane ready to protect Isaac.


    Isaac slowly approached the stairs, and with a nervous heartbeat, he arrived at the first step of the stairs.


    He raised his leg and put it on the first step of the stairs.


    His eyes instantly widened in shock!

 Chapter 75 - Cold.

    ''''Ah!'''' Isaac cried out and instantly removed his leg from the stairs. He nced at his feet and saw that his shoes were frozen!


    The moment he took a step, he felt the incredible pain of his bones getting frozen, and that made him startled.


    ''How could I feel pain... This is so strange.'' He rubbed his painful feet, but the pain had already disappeared.


    It was like he only felt pain if his leg touched the stairs.


    ''''Are you alright?!'''' Luna came next to him without even caring if there were more traps.


    ''''Yeah.'''' Isaac grabbed a rock from his pouch and threw it towards the stairs, but while the rock was flying, suddenly it started freezing until it becamepletely covered in ice.


    ''''Why did it turn into ice?'''' Luna frowned. The temperature around the ind is quite warm. Warm enough to make her sweat, but for some reason, the stairs arepletely opposite!


    They are freezing cold, enough to kill someone in seconds.


    ''''Another spell.'''' Isaac grimaced and looked at the mountain wall, ''Do we need to climb...''


    He took another rock from his pouch and threw it towards the mountain wall, but the same fate happened to that rock as well.


    It becamepletely frozen.


    ''''Maybe we really aren''t supposed to go there?'''' Luna guessed, ''''Maybe this ce was meant for yers much higher level than we are.''''


    ''''Maybe...'''' Isaac sighed and stood up, ''''Let''s leave. This ce must have another exit.''''


    Luna nodded and was about to follow behind him, but then she heard a voice in her head.


    [Hello, little one... We meet again]


    Luna''s eyes widened in shock, ''''Nicedy?''''


    Isaac stopped walking and looked at Luna with a questioning look.


    The voice inside Luna''s head giggled.


    [The stairs are a test... Tell that young man next to you that the exit is at the end of the stairs...]


    Luna cheerfully looked at Isaac and said, ''''The exit out of this ce is located at the end of the stairs!''''


    ''''How do you know?'''' Isaac asked and looked at the massive stairs.


    ''''Nicedy told me!''''


    ''''You mean... The one you met when you first entered the game?'''' Isaac asked with a frown.


    Luna nodded with a smile.


    ''Is this another trick of our attacker...'' Isaac debated whether he should try.


    He couldn''t even make one meter in the stairs, and now he has to somehow survive 3 kilometers!


    ''''Trust me,'''' Luna said while her beautiful blue eyes showed her innocence, but it also showed her confidence.


    She is 100% sure that the exit is at the end of the stairs.


    ''''Fine... If I die, please pick up my stuff.'''' Isaac said with a wry smile, now he actually felt good that he had stored his items inside his room. If he would lose them, then he might actually cry.


    Before, he could care less about items inside a game, but now their value seemed so much higher in his eyes.


    Luna nodded with a slight worry, even though she was confident that the exit was at the end of the stairs. She has no idea how someone can survive all the way to the top.


    Isaac took a rock from his pouch and threw it towards the stairs with as much strength as he could utter.


    He is trying to see how many stairs it can fly before it is frozen till nothing is left.


    The rock flew past the first step, and it was already covered in ice.


    It also flew past the second step, and now the rock looked like an ice ball instead, and once it arrived, the third step... It was too heavy to continue flying.


    Itnded on the third step with a thud and cracked apart.


    Isaac had cold sweat pouring on his back, ''It''s not possible to survive that!''


    ''''How much time is left...'''' Isaac opened the Interface to look at the time.


    [01:16:51.09]


    ''''Time is running out... I need to figure out a way.'''' Isaac sat down on the ground and leaned on the tree.


    He started thinking of countless different possibilities, but he couldn''t think of a way to survive the freezing.


    ''Blood flowing is the most important part, but it definitely can''t keep me alive... That cold is something a human can''t survive.''


    ''''Nicedy?'''' Luna tried to talk to the voice, but she never received a reply.


    She sighed and sat next to Isaac. Her body''s warmth was being transferred to Isaac.


    Isaac''s face slowly started turning into a shock, ''Could that work... It''spletely insane... But... It might!''


    He turned his head towards Luna, who was innocently holding his hand, ''''Luna, I might have an idea, but it ispletely nuts.''''


    Luna giggled and said, ''''Let''s do it then!''''


    ''''Don''t you want to hear it first?'''' Isaac asked with a wry smile.


    Luna shook her head, ''''I trust you.''''


    Isaac nodded and pressed a few buttons in front of him, which caused his armor to disappear.


    He started wearing the Chain Armor again before entering the forest, just in case.


    Isaac was now only on his white shirt and leather pants.


    ''''Take off your robes,'''' Isaac instructed.


    Luna nodded and pressed a few buttons in front of her.


    The robes disappeared, and now she was only wearing a long-sleeved shirt with leather pants, which were slightly shorter than Isaac''s.


    She innocently looked at Isaac and waited for the next instructions.


    Isaac stood up and walked in front of the stairs, he couldn''t feel the cold at all, but he knew that he would die instantly if he took even one step forward.


    Luna stopped next to him and took a deep breath.


    ''''How long can you keep the fireball going?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Uhh... I haven''t tried, but around 1 hour I guess.'''' Luna said with some uncertainty.


    Isaac nodded and said, ''''Make the fireball circle around us.''''


    Luna nodded and put the cane in front of her, ''''Fireball!''''


    A miniature ball made of fire started slowly circling around them, making them instantly warmer.


    ''''Alright.'''' Isaac turned his body towards Luna and put his arms wide open, ''''Hug me.''''


    Luna blinked nkly, but then her cheeks became rosy-colored, ''''E-Eh, why?''''


    ''''We need to transfer our bodies warmth for each other, it is a long shot, but in theory, it should work.''''


    Luna nodded shakily. She shyly walked towards him and was soon trapped in his embrace.


    Their bodies were glued with each other, and their faces were instantly sweating, making their clothes stick to their skins.


    ''This might actually work...'' Isaac took a deep breath, ''''Let''s do it!''''


    Luna nodded with a blush on her cheeks. They moved their legs at the same time and entered the first step....

 Chapter 76 - Steps.

    ''''Cold!'''' Luna cried out as her whole body became stiff.


    Isaac took deep breaths, trying to increase the blood flow. He moved his shoulders up and down rhythmically.


    A cold air left both of their mouths while their lips were slowly turning into bluish color.


    ''''I-I-Isaac.'''' Luna said with a shaky tone, ''''I-It''s cold!''''


    Isaac moved his hands around Luna''s cold and soft body, trying to increase the temperature of her body.


    ''''L-L-Let''s move.'''' Isaac said with a stutter. It was hard to utter proper words because of all the cold.


    Luna hugged Isaac''s body tightly and started moving up the stairs.


    They walked all the way to the fourth step, but they had to take a quick stop because their legs were about to have frostbite!


    ''''M-M-M-Make the fireball circle around our legs.'''' Isaac gave instructions, while Luna did as he told.


    The fireball started warming up their legs, but that caused their upper bodies to feel even colder.


    ''''L-Let''s move faster,'''' Isaac said with his rough breathing.


    Luna shakily nodded, and they started moving even faster, but after 10 steps, it started bing even colder.


    ''T-This seems impossible!'' Isaac cried out, and he started feeling Luna''s soft body bing very weak in his arms.


    Luna''s eyes started bing drowsy, which made her movements slightly slow and sluggish.


    Isaac had to slow his pace, but that made it even more unbearable to continue. The end of the stairs seems to be unbelievably far!


    The distance was impossible to be crossed! It was like he was climbing a mountain without any safety equipment, and when he finally defied death and reached the peak, just for another mountain to pop up in front of him, which he had to climb as well, but it was a hundred times more difficult.


    For some reason, he hasn''t lost any HP since he started climbing. He thought he would be already 0 HP, but he hasn''t lost even 1 HP.


    But, the pain he is feeling is more real than anything he has felt in this game so far.


    They slowly reached the 20th step, but there were still 2980 steps left. That thought alone made every fighting spirit vanish.


    Isaac''s long and beautiful white eyshes had a tinge of ice forming, which made it even more difficult for him to keep blinking.


    When Luna was about to take a step to the 21st step, she suddenly missed her step and was about to fall down, but Isaac instantly trapped her in his embrace.


    Her 165cm tall body was looking very fragile and weak, but she still had a sweet smile on her face as she had her face buried in Isaac''s chest.


    ''''N-Nice adventure.'''' She said with a slight giggle.


    Isaac wryly smiled, ''''N-No more adventures, g-gotcha.''''


    Luna slowly lowered her body and sat down on the 21st step, while the cold wind made her beautiful ck hair flutter in the wind.


    Isaac sat next to her, with his face being paler than usual, and with his pinkish lips turning into the blue.


    Luna wrapped her arms around Isaac''s waist, trying to absorb every part of the warmth.


    Isaac closed his eyes and felt every part of his body screaming in pain. His fingers didn''t even move anymore, while his toes had frostbites forming.


    ''''H-Honestly...'''' Luna managed to utter the words she wanted to say, ''''T-This has been quite fun.''''


    Isaac chuckled, ''''I-I don''t know how your mind is w-w-working... W-We w-will freeze to d-death.''''


    Luna rubbed her cheek with Isaac''s arm, ''''T-T-This was probably m-most f-fun I had in l-long time.''''


    Her eyes started slowly closing as her breath started slowing down.


    Isaac looked at her and saw her closing her eyes.


    The fireball slowly started vanishing, and the rest of the warmth suddenly disappeared.


    Isaac looked towards the direction they came from, he could probably run there in less than 10 seconds and enter the familiar warmth, but there is a voice saying to him that with this attitude, he can never change as a person.


    He has had enough of being weak!


    He has had enough of being a protected individual who, ording to outsiders, can''t do anything by himself!


    Isaac slowly stood up, his bones cracked, and the ice which had started forming on his legs started crumbling apart.


    He put his left arm below Luna''s legs and put his right arm below her torso. He slowly started carrying her sleeping figure and took the first step at the 22nd step.


    ''''Ahhh...'''' He groaned in agony, but he slowly started getting the hang of the rhythm and started moving steadily.


    23rd step...


    24th step...


    26th step...


    30th step...


    40th step...


    50th step...


    After reaching the 50th step, Isaac''s skin started slowly peeling off. If his family would be seeing it, they would be screaming in terror as Isaac''s beautiful face had skin peeling off.


    But Isaac didn''t care slightest.


    His face showed his absolute determination.


    50 steps done!


    2950 steps left!


    For many, they would have quit in the 20th step, maybe way earlier even.


    Luna''s sleeping face had a small smile like she was having a great dream.


    But, even she had some signs of frostbite that appeared all around her neck and face.


    Isaac took another step and reached the 51st step.


    His face became emotionless as he continued walking the stairs. His movements became almost robotic-like.


    He didn''t look forwards while he was walking, instead towards Luna''s innocent sleeping figure, it made him distracted about pain.


    Her sleeping face caused Isaac to have a small smile, while his flesh around his feet started peeling off, which made his feet very sensitive, and every step almost made Isaac cry, but he knew if he cried even one teardrop... The tears would freeze instantly, which would make him half-blind.


    Without even realizing it, he arrived at a step that looked slightly different from the rest, instead of being bluish-colored... It had a tinge of red.


    Isaac took the step, and instantly his body was covered in warmth.


    The area around him started distorting, and the thousands of steps in front of him disappeared.


    [Congrattions yer Wraith!]


    [You Reached 100th Step in Mountain of Illusions!]


    [Rewards: Meeting with Goddess Hecate!]

 Chapter 77 - Illusionary Shot!

    Isaac''s and Luna''s bodies started glowing. Both of their bodies disappeared from the Mountain of Illusions.


    Isaac had his eyes shut, but once the bright light dimmed down, he could finally open his eyes.


    He saw himself standing in the middle of some kind of garden with a small table in the center. It resembled a lot of the ce where he met the colddy.


    There were three seats around the table, but one of the seats was already upied.


    He saw dark-haired beauty sitting in the seat innocently while drinking a warm cup of coffee. Her every move was elegant and almost too perfect. It was a sight that would mesmerize anyone.


    Isaac looked at the top of her hair but didn''t see a nametag...


    The dark-haired beauty turned her beautiful ck eyes towards Isaac and smiled, ''''Wee Wraith and lovely Night.''''


    Isaac looked at the sleeping figure of Luna while nametag floated above her head.


    [Night]


    [Level: 19]


    ''''You are, Hecate, right?'''' Isaac asked.


    The dark-haired beauty nodded, ''''That''s right, and you are currently on my domain.''''


    Isaac put Luna gently on the ground. She instantly smiled after feeling the soft grass touching her back.


    Isaac saw his hands, and he thought he would see most of his flesh having frostbite, but instead, he saw his perfect smooth hands.


    There was a small pond in the garden. Isaac slowly walked there and looked at him in the reflection. His face had returned to normal, without any signs of suffering he had faced.


    ''''How...'''' He looked at Hecate with a questioning look.


    Hecate smiled and replied, ''''Mountain of Illusions was a test of will. The pain you felt was an illusion, and your skin peeling off was also an illusion.''''


    ''''B-But, it felt so...'''' Before he could finish his words.


    Hecate said, ''''Real?''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''Power of Illusions cannot be underestimated.'''' Hecate pointed at the chair and said, ''''Please sit.''''


    Isaac sat down on the chair, which was only 1 meter away from Hecate.


    ''''Tricksters have a power of illusions. I suggest being careful with them. They are definitely tricky ones.''''


    Isaac nodded. This is the first time he actually felt wary of tricksters. The pain he felt was so real that not many could handle that kind of pain.


    In the future, most of the yer base will definitely be afraid of Tricksters.


    Hecate sipped the coffee while Isaac had multiple questions.


    ''''Why are we here?'''' He decided to ask the simple question first.


    Hecate put the cup gently on the table and replied, ''''Exit is here.'''' She pointed at the beautiful white door only 10 meters away from her.


    Isaac widened his eyes, ''''Well... That was easy.'''' He stood up and was about to go to Luna.


    But then, Hecate waved her hand, ''''You passed the test. I can''t let you go empty-handed.''''


    Isaac sat back down and looked at her with a questioning look.


    ''''Hmm...'''' She tapped her soft cheek a few times before asking, ''''You didn''t choose your first skill yet, right?''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''I will give you a fourth choice,'''' Hecate said and snapped her fingers.


    *Snap*


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [New Skill Choice Added!]


    [You can choose your first skill!]


    [Skills: Deadshot - Steady Hands - Wall Breaker - Illusionary Shot]


    [Deadshot: There is a 2% chance of this skill activating, and during that time, you cannot miss!]


    [Steady Hands: When your stamina is getting low and you are getting tired, Steady Hands will activate, and yourck of stamina won''t bother your aiming because your hands are so Steady that you can still aim perfectly!]


    [Wall Breaker: Your bullets can pierce walls!]


    [Illusionary Shot: You can shoot an illusionary bullet!]


    ''''Eh, Illusionary Shot?'''' Isaac looked towards Hecate with a questioning look.


    Hecate calmly replied, ''''If you use this skill, you can use this to trick your enemies. Like, if you use the Illusionary Shot, the sound and even the bullet will lookpletely simr to the real one, but you can''t harm your opponent with it.''''


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac thought that it could be used in many ways like it ismon knowledge that most of the Marksmen only have two bullets before reloading.


    He can trick his opponent into thinking that he has no more bullets left, and when his opponent gets careless...


    Easy kill.


    Isaac pressed the Illusionary Shot and decided that it would be his first skill.

    ''''Thank you.'''' Isaac gave a respectful bow and stood up.


    Hecate smiled and waved her hand, ''''It''s fine, I wish I could give you more, but there are limits to how much I can help you.''''


    Isaac walked next to Luna and was about to start carrying her, but then he heard Hecate''s voice.


    ''''You can leave first. I have some business with this lovelydy,'''' Hecate said with a gentle smile.


    Isaac looked at her and nodded, ''''Alright...'''' He took another nce at Luna and patted her head gently, ''''See youter.''''


    He stood up and walked towards the door. The white door lookedpletely ordinary, but once Isaac touched the doorknob, he suddenly disappeared from the garden.


    Hecate looked towards Luna and said, ''''How long are you nning to pretend to sleep? Naughty girl.''''


    Luna''s eyes slowly opened, with her cheeks being rosy-colored.


    Hecate giggled, ''''Luna, long time no see.''''


    ''''Hey, nicedy.'''' Luna stood up with embarrassment on her face.


    Hecate patted the seat next to her, ''''Come here, and call me Hecate.''''


    Luna shyly walked to the seat and sat down.


    Hecate then perked up her ears. She sighed with a wry smile, ''''I guess we have guests.''''


    Suddenly, a portal appeared in the garden, and a single figure exited it.


    The figure was a beautiful woman with white robes and a cold-looking face. Her ample breasts pushed the robes forwards while her baggy robes hid every part of her beautiful body.


    Her looks made Luna gasp.


    ''She is so beautiful...'' She thought with slight envy, especially after seeing her soft-looking skin.


    Hecate looked at the woman and smiled, ''''Khione, what a pleasure seeing you.''''


    Khione looked at her, ''''Why was he here...''''


    ''''Who?'''' Hecate innocently tilted her head.


    ''''He...'''' Khione said with a cold tone. She doesn''t want to say his name aloud.


    ''''Oh, him..'''' Hecate innocently giggled, ''''You are so childish, Khione-chan.''''

 Chapter 78 - Garden.

    Khione''s eyebrow twitched, ''''Don''t call me that...''''


    Hecate giggled and patted the other seat, ''''Khione-chan, sit down.''''


    Khione''s face became even colder, but she sat down with elegant movement.


    Luna didn''t know what to do. She was in the presence of two Goddesses, and she really wished that Isaac was still here.


    Khione turned her beautiful light blue eyes towards Luna, ''''You were with him... Who are you?''''


    ''''She is Luna.'''' Hecate said and patted Luna''s soft ck hair, ''''She is my Chosen One.'''' She giggled as she saw Luna melting under her gentle patting.


    ''''Oh.'''' Khione replied simply, ''''Are you his... Girlfriend or something?''''


    Hecate covered her mouth and started giggling.


    Luna''s face became rosy. She waved her hands quickly, ''''No! He is my friend!''''


    ''''Hmm...'''' Khione crossed her arms and looked towards Hecate, ''''Why did you help him?''''


    Hecate titled her head, ''''I have no idea what you are talking about.''''


    Khione looked at her with an icy look, ''''You helped him by giving his will back... What was the point of the test if you helped him.''''


    ''''I only helped him to continue. I didn''t help him to reach the 100th step,'''' Hecate replied and took another sip.


    ''''He should have failed because he lost his will to continue around the 20th step,'''' Khione said.


    Hecate sighed, ''''He had the will to reach the 100th step. I only helped him to awaken it.''''


    Khione turned her head away and murmured, ''''Whatever...''''


    Hecate then remembered one thing, a sly smile appearing on her beautiful face, ''''By the way... When are you going to stop bothering him? You stalker!''''


    Khione''s head snapped straight towards Hecate, ''''S-S-Stalker?! I am not a stalker!''''


    ''''You are! You entered Moon Realm so you can stalk him! Stalker-chan!'''' Hecate shouted with an amused smile.


    Khione''s face turned red out of embarrassment, ''''I-I didn''t look for him!''''


    ''''Oh my.'''' Hecate put her soft-looking hand on her forehead. She sighed and said, ''''If the Gods heard that famous Goddess Khione was a stalker, I wonder how your admirers would feel.''''


    Khione gritted her teeth, ''''I am not a stalker!''''


    Hecate looked at Luna, who seemed confused. She touched her soft cheek and said, ''''Don''t be like Khione, if you like someone, talk with him and not stalk.''''


    Luna looked at her and nodded, even though she didn''t understand.


    Khione started fuming. She was almost angry as when Isaac made fun of her.


    ''''I don''t like him! And I am not a stalker!'''' Her eyes became bloodshot, and the area around Garden became freezing cold.


    ''''C-C-Cold!'''' Luna started trembling with her whole body turning stiff.


    Hecate waved her hand, and Luna''s body became warm again, ''''Stalker-chan, it''s okay, I don''t judge!''''


    Khione stood up in anger, and a portal appeared behind her. She was about to step on the portal and leave the Garden behind.


    But then, Hecate''s voice rang in her ears, ''''Stalker-chan, I suggest staying!''''


    Khione stopped walking. She red at Hecate and asked, ''''Why?''''


    Hecate mysteriously smiled.


    ''''Tsk.'''' Khione clicked her tongue and made the portal disappear. She sat down on the chair and had a small pout forming on her face.


    Hecate gently pped. She looked at Luna and said, ''''Luna-chan, I thought it would take you much longer to reach this ce, but with the help of Wraith-chan, you managed to reach this ce fairly quick.''''


    Khione raised an eyebrow, ''''You are nning to give her that? Isn''t that risky?''''


    ''''Now it''s a perfect time,'''' Hecate said with confidence.


    ''''G-Give what?'''' Luna asked while her adorable face was looking confused.


    Hecate smiled and patted her head, ''''Luna-chan, do you want to be my Legacy Carrier?''''


    ''''Legacy Carrier?'''' Luna looked confused, but then she remembered that this game has Legacies.


    ''''Why me?'''' She asked curiously.


    Hecate giggled and pinched her soft cheek, ''''Cutie, everyone would ept instantly, but I guess because I can trust you.''''


    Luna nodded, ''''Alright... I guess I can try.''''


    Hecate smiled gently, ''''Excellent.'''' She pointed her arm towards the sky and snapped her fingers.


    *Snap*


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Legacy Received!]


    [Hecate, The Goddess of Magic, wants you to be her Legacy Carrier!]


    [Legacy: The Goddess of Magic]


    [Legacy Rank: Godly]


    [Unique ss: Witch]


    [ept/Reject]


    Luna innocently pressed [ept] without thinking twice.


    After she pressed, the sky around the Garden started rumbling, which was heard everywhere in World of White, but also... The sound was heard in the world of Four Seasons...


    Everyone wondered where the sudden rumbling sound came from. The sky was bright blue, which means that it couldn''t be a thunder.


    Hecate gently pped, ''''You are now my Legacy Carrier. I have great trust in you!''''


    Luna smiled and nodded. She saw in the Interface that her ss has changed from Spellcaster to Witch.


    It ispletely Unique ss, never seen before in the World of White.


    ''''Any questions?'''' Hecate asked.


    Luna shook her head, ''''Nope.''''


    Hecate giggled, ''''Silly, there are many things you need to know. Like, you still have your first skill, but it is slightly modified to fit the Witch ss, and Special Stat for Witch is also Magic, so it hasn''t changed.''''


    ''''Also, there are Legacy Quests.'''' Khione quipped, ''''You can only use 1% of the full might of your Legacy; sessfullypleting the Quests will give you more skills, and it will also increase your strength tremendously.''''


    Hecate giggled, ''''Stalker-chan is such Tsundere!''''


    Khione''s eyebrow twitched; with anger, she stood up, ''''I just don''t want her to die and waste Godly Legacy, that''s all!''''


    ''''Sure, sure.'''' Hecate didn''t believe one word. Her face said it all.


    Khione pouted and entered the portal. Her body disappeared from the Garden, and it will be her father who needs to deal with her anger.


    Hecate giggled, ''''Tsundere-chan!'''' She turned her head towards Luna, who was innocently smiling.


    ''''You two are very good friends!'''' Luna said with a smiling face.


    Hecate giggled, ''''Yeah, we are best friends, even though she doesn''t admit it.''''


    Luna smiled and nodded.


    Hecate looked towards the white door and said, ''''It is time for you to go as well. I am sure we will meet again.''''


    Luna put her soft arms around Hecate''s waist and hugged her, ''''Thank you, Hecate!''''


    Hecate gently patted her head, ''''Go, just don''t focus on the Legacy too much; it will guide you.''''


    Luna smiled and nodded. She stood up and ran towards the door.


    ''''Invite me for your and Wraith-chan''s wedding!'''' Hecate shouted teasingly.


    ''''Eh?'''' Luna''s face became a mix of embarrassment and shock. She identally crashed on the door, which caused her to be teleported away from the Garden.


    ''''Ahh... Youth..'''' Hecate smiled and took a sip of coffee.

 Chapter 79 - Present.

    Isaac groggily opened his eyes and saw him standing in the middle of a slightly familiar room.


    ''''I got teleported all the way here?!'''' Isaac eximed and recognized this ce!


    He got teleported all the way to his rented room!


    Isaac quickly looked underneath his bed, and all his items were still there. He took a slight sigh of relief and took all his new items from the Inventory, and stored them all underneath his bed.


    He received items from Chase, Luck, and Turmoil, but he also received items from his visit to the Cave of Mysteries!


    He and Darth received quite a lot of good stuff, and they decided to split all of them.


    ''''Ah right.'''' Isaac facepalmed, ''''I forgot to add her as a friend.'''' He sighed as he scratched his beautiful and fluffy hair.


    It isn''t possible to add friends without standing right in front of that person. Game Developers did that so that streamers won''t get spammed with friend requests, but they made a method for real-life friends to still add each other as friends without having to meet each other directly.


    The VR Helmet has a separate ount for that purpose. They can add their real-life friends as their friends in the VR Helmet and can join the same starting vige that way.


    Isaac has his own VR Helmet ount as well, and that ount is already linked with his Wraith ount, which means that if he wants to use a different ount to y the game.


    He needs to buy a new VR Helmet, make a new VR Helmet ount, and finally do a new ount in White Online.


    ''''I need to ask for her VR Helmet ount ID,'''' Isaac murmured to himself; if he had her as his friend in the VR Helmet ount, he could instantly add in the White Online as well, without a need to go find her first.


    ''''Oh, right.'''' Isaac put on his Interface in front of him.

    He looked at the time limit.


    [05:13.34]


    ''''Five minutes...'''' Isaac murmured; he didn''t have anything left to do, but he needed to test a theory.


    Last time he lost all his clothes for some reason. He wanted to test if the reason is really because the time limit ended, or is it something else.


    It felt extremely weird for that to happen, maybe it is a glitch, but Isaac wanted to find out and ask from the forums if it happened again.


    The time slowly ticked down.


    Sometimeter, only 10 seconds remained.


    Isaac this time, looked more closely at what happens when the time limit ends.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    A bunch of notifications popped in front of him.


    [0:00]


    [Time''s up!]


    [Rest Well yer!]


    [You have been forcefully logged out!]


    Isaac saw his body turning into pixels the same way as when he logged out, but what was different was the bright light that appeared right in front of his eyes, which caused Isaac to close his eyes.


    After the bright light disappeared, he again opened his eyes and saw the familiar white visor covering his vision, and he felt the VR Helmet ufortably sticking to his skin. It seems that he has slightly sweated, which caused his clothing to stick to his skin, but that also made the VR Helmet feel very ufortable.


    Isaac quickly took off the VR Helmet and put it gently back on the bed. He moved his limbs, which were once again very numb.


    ''''This is really annoying.'''' Isaac rubbed his numb body parts; he was starting to feel more annoyed.


    After he was starting to feel his limbs again, he took the VR Helmet, put it gently on the box, and hid it in the wardrobe.


    *Growl*


    Isaac''s stomach rumbled.


    Isaac held his stomach and remembered that he hadn''t eaten since morning, ''''I don''t feel the sense of hunger in the game, but in real life, I do... Is that another w in Bronze VR Helmet?''''


    ''''It''s like the Game Developers did so many ws as possible that yers who use this helmet bes too annoyed and buy more expensive ones...'''' Isaac wryly smiled and walked towards the door, ''''And most of them would probably buy after experiencing White Online... Even I feel like buying a new one.''''


    He left the room and went straight towards the downstairs.


    He took a nce at the living room and saw his parents, Alice and Mark, watching the news on TV.


    They turned their heads as Isaac arrived, but he went straight towards the kitchen.


    ''''There is some leftover food in the refrigerator!'''' Isabe''s voice rang in his ears.


    Isaac gave thumbs up and entered the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator and saw a te waiting for him.


    He grabbed it and put it straight on the microwave, and put the timer on for 2 minutes.


    He listened to the calm sound of the microwave, but then the door to the kitchen was opened.


    Isaac turned his head and saw his father entering.


    ''''Isaac.'''' Maxwell sat in the chair, which was next to the kitchen desk.


    ''''What is it, dad?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow as he saw Maxwell''s serious look.


    ''''Have you decided if you are going to keep ying?'''' He asked.


    Isaac rubbed his cheek, ''''I like the game a lot...''''


    Maxwell''s eyes sparkled, and he was about to say something.


    But then Isaac continued, ''''I still haven''t made my decision if I will continue; I thought maybe I should join yourpany as an intern, you wanted that, right?''''


    Maxwell smiled and tapped the desk with his index finger, ''''I wanted that... But, I won''t force you to do anything you don''t want to do. If you want to keep ying, I will support you.''''


    Isaac nodded and crossed his arms, ''''I will have to think more.''''


    Maxwell stood up and patted his shoulder, ''''If you decide to continue, I have a small present for you.''''


    ''''Present?'''' Isaac looked surprised; why would he get a present for continuing ying?


    Maxwell mysteriously smiled and left the kitchen, leaving confused Isaac alone.


    *Beep*


    The microwave beeped as the signal that his food was ready.

 Chapter 80 - Grandparents.

    Isaac took ast bite of the food and sighed in satisfaction. He washed it on the sink and put it gently back into the cab.


    He left the kitchen and saw Markzily walking towards the upstairs.


    ''''Yo.'''' Isaac ruffled Mark''s soft ck hair.


    ''''Mm, big brother, you are messing with my hair; I need to look good fordies,'''' Mark said with a tired tone.


    ''''Haha, go sleep; your daily hallucinations have again begun,'''' Isaac said with amusement and did a gentle push on Mark''s back.


    ''''Sleep...'''' Mark said with a smile and started walking up the stairs.


    Isaac chuckled and shook his head. Since he was young, Mark always had very mature-like thoughts when he was sleepy, most of them think that it is the result of his wild imagination, but Isaac feels like it is something different.


    Isaac entered the living room and sat next to Alice while Maxwell and Isabe were sitting on the other couch.


    He looked towards the TV and saw the News.


    It was familiar pair of middle-aged man and a beautiful middle-aged woman sitting in front of the curved table.


    Isaac perked up his ears and listened closely while Alice put her head on his shoulder and looked at the TV.


    ''''Today there was a meeting between Legacy Company and the biggest families in the world!'''' The middle-aged man said with his powerful voice.


    The middle-aged woman next to him smiled and said, ''''We can only theorize, but we have a reason to believe that it was about White Online! Who knows what will happen in the World of White, but it must be huge!''''


    Isaac looked towards his father, ''''Dad?''''


    ''''It was about the next update.'''' Maxwell replied; he crossed his arms and continued, ''''I can''t reveal it, but it will be a world-changing.''''


    Isabe smiled and said, ''''My subordinates have been feeling angsty these days. Apparently, their children are only ying White Online andpletely ignoring the school work.''''


    Maxwell chuckled, ''Maybe one day the school will teach to y White Online... It will change the world too much, that even school system will change.'' He thought to himself, but if his thoughts were revealed to the world, everyone would think he is crazy, but in the future... They would think that his thoughts are underestimating the effects of White Online!


    ''''Mm.'''' Alice nodded and said, ''''My ssmates only talk about the game, but I don''t really see the appeal yet.''''


    Isabe looked at Isaac and asked, ''''Isaac, why do you think it is so popr?''''


    Isaac rubbed his chin and answered, ''''For now it is because it is the world''s first VRMMORPG, and it became instantly famous because everyone has got tired of ordinary PC games, there has not been any originality since 20 years ago, and now that something like this appeared... It isn''t strange that it is famous.''''


    Maxwell nodded, ''''Indeed, even though this is the first VRMMORPG game and many others might appear, I don''t think any game can triumph over White Online.''''


    ''''There might be a decrease of yers in the future.'''' Isaac suddenly said, but then he continued, ''''But that will be the case if something mind-blowing won''t be added.''''


    Maxwell mysterious smiled, ''Mind-blowing is an understatement...''


    ''''I don''t like the idea of White Online too much.'''' Alice said while rubbing her cheek with Isaac''s soft cheek, ''''It is too much about fighting; I would like it if there is something notbat-rted.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Indeed, it is a fighting game, and for now, it is impossible to level up without killing beasts, monsters, or yers.''''


    ''''Isn''t there a support ss?'''' Isabe asked, ''''They aren''t part of fighting, right?''''


    Alice frowned, ''''I don''t like any of the sses. Being Medic or Healer would require me to be on the battlefield, while the Poison Master and Potion Master isn''t just for me.''''


    ''''What about Priest?'''' Isaac asked.


    Maxwell nodded, ''''Priest is a ss that is most in contact with the Gods; maybe that could be your thing.''''


    Alice became slightly more curious, ''''Priest... That doesn''t sound too... Bad.''''


    Isaac then remembered one thing. He turned towards his parents and asked, ''''Is Marvin ying currently?''''


    ''''Ah, yes, he is.'''' Maxwell replied, ''''I don''t really like his friends, and I hope they don''t cause too much trouble for other yers.''''


    ''''They aren''t that bad.'''' Isaac chuckled, ''''And they will definitely cause a lot of trouble for everyone.''''


    Maxwell rubbed his forehead, feeling like a headache wasing when the so-called Group of Misfits entered the Starting City.


    ''''What were you doing today?'''' Alice asked curiously.


    ''''Adventuring,'''' Isaac replied with one word.


    His parents and Alice became very curious about his adventuring, but it looks like Isaac wants to keep it secret.


    ''''What about you?'''' Isaac asked while looking at Alice.


    ''''I had to deal with some student council stuff, nothing special.'''' Alice replied with a bored look.


    Isabe elbowed Maxwell''s waist andmunicated using her eyes.


    Maxwell sighed and shook his head, but then Isabe pinched his waist and whispered, ''''Do it.''''


    Maxwell rubbed his painful waist; he turned his head towards Isaac, ''''Isaac, we have something to ask you about.''''


    Isabe smiled and put her hands on herp.


    ''''What is it?'''' Isaac asked with a curious look.


    Alice listened closely with a curious look on her adorable face.


    Maxwell sighed and uttered the words out of his mouth, ''''You haven''t met my parents yet.''''


    Isaac looked surprised, ''''Grandfather and grandmother?''''


    Maxwell nodded, ''''Would you like to...'''' He scratched his cheeks and uttered thest words out of his mouth using force, ''''Go visit them?''''


    Isabe smiled and looked at Isaac with hope.


    Alice looked surprised. Even she has never met their grandparents.


    They have met Isabe''s parents; they always visit them during Christmas, and their visit always brings joy, but they have never met their father''s parents, and they never asked either.


    They knew that it must be a sensitive topic.


    Isaac looked surprised as well. He had only seen one picture about his grandfather, and in that picture, he was holding a hunting rifle with a grin on his attractive middle-aged face.


    That picture was very old, and it told a lot about Maxwell''s rtionship with his parents.


    He hasn''t met them in a long time, and that''s why the pictures were very old. But, Maxwell went to visit a professional painter, who pained a newer version of his parents, it isn''tpletely perfect, but it gave him some idea of how they looked.


    Even though he doesn''t want to admit it, he misses his parents.


    Isaac instantly replied, ''''Yes!''''

 Chapter 81 - Troublemakers.

    ''''Good.'''' Isabe smiled at Isaac''s answer.


    Maxwell nodded; he didn''t know how he felt about his son going instead. He felt like he was a coward, but thest meeting with his parents didn''t end well.


    His mother tried to calm things down, but he and his father were too stubborn.


    The fight ended up with Maxwell leaving for good and moving to Snowstar permanently.


    Isabe moved with him since both of them were from a Capital City, Brightstar.


    Maxwell grabbed his phone and looked at the phone number of his mother.


    ''''Isaac, are you willing to go next week?'''' Isabe asked gently.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Yes.''''


    Isabe looked at Maxwell and held his hand tenderly.


    Maxwell took a deep breath and started writing a message for his mother.


    [Maxwell: My son will be visiting you, please be nice to him]


    He pressed the [Sent], and now he started waiting for the message.


    It didn''t take long for him to receive an answer.


    [Madison: That would be lovely!]


    Maxwell closed the phone and said, ''''She said yes.''''


    Isabe smiled, ''''Isaac, your grandfather might be troublesome, but I am sure they will love you!''''


    Isaac nodded and turned his head towards Maxwell, ''''Grandfather is a hunter, right?''''


    Maxwell sighed and nodded, ''''It is almost his obsession. He always goes hunting with his friends, and he always wanted to drag me there too, but I was never interested.''''


    Isaac''s eyes sparkled, ''Maybe I can try out a hunting rifle... I wonder how different it would feel from the guns in the game.''


    ''''How long will Isaac be there?'''' Alice asked with narrowed eyes.


    Maxwell shrugged, ''''Maybe a week depends on what my parents think.''''


    Alice and Isabe paled.


    ''''We can''t see Isaac for a week?!'''' Alice screeched, ''''Why don''t you put a bullet in our head instead?!''''


    Isabe held Maxwell''s hand, ''''H-Honey, m-maybe two days would be better?''''


    ''''Two days?'''' Maxwell waved his hand, ''''Isaac hasn''t seen them for 18 years.''''


    ''''I would like to stay a week, maybe longer,'''' Isaac said, which caused everyone to sigh.


    ''''If you don''t enjoy there.'''' Maxwell sighed and continued, ''''You cane back; I don''t force you to stay there; you can decide when you want to return.''''


    Isaac nodded and felt excited about meeting his Grandparents.


    He hasn''t heard almost anything about them because his parents never say anything.


    Alice slumped down on the couch and sighed, ''''Is the Capital City safe?''''


    Maxwell and Isabe nodded.


    ''''It is the safest City in Starshow. Isaac will be fine, but I am worried about one thing...'''' Maxwell said and grimaced.


    Isabe narrowed her eyes, ''''Are you talking about... Them?''''


    Maxwell nodded, ''''The family I was almost married to. I hope they don''t bother Isaac.''''


    While they were talking about serious matters, Isaac was deep in his thoughts.


    ''I guess I will go meet my Grandparents after the Legacy Tournament.'' Isaac thought to himself.


    Isaac remembered that his schedule was quite packed.


    Tomorrow will be the Duo Dungeon, which will take a whole day, and the day after tomorrow, he will go visit Luna in the hospital.


    Few days after the hospital visit will be the Legacy Tournament, and it is the thing Isaac is most excited about.


    ''Ah right... I wonder does Forums have anything new.'' Isaac was soon brought out of his thoughts because Alice pinched his cheek.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac looked at her and saw Alice pointing at their parents.


    ''''Isaac.'''' Maxwell said seriously, ''''You should probably stay in my parents'' mansion and not wander around.''''


    Isaac grimaced, ''''But, I heard that Brightstar has the Wintend''s biggest festival, and it should be happening during October!''''


    ''''It is for your safety,'''' Isabe said gently.


    Isaac rolled his eyes and stood up. He left the living room and stormed upstairs.


    ''''Isaac, don''t be mad at me! I will cry!'''' Isabe''s shout echoed in his ears.


    Isaac rolled his eyes, ''I will go visit that festival... Apparently, there is apetition about White Online!''


    The festival has been ongoing for over a week now, and at the end of the festival, there will be apetition about White Online.


    No one knows what kind ofpetition it is, but quite many are excited about it, Isaac included.


    He never thought that he would have a chance of going there, but this visit to his Grandparents came in perfect timing!


    Isaac entered the fourth floor and was about to enter his room, but then the door opened next to him, and a man with delinquent-like features appeared.


    ''''Isaac!'''' Marvin said quickly and dragged Isaac inside his room.


    ''''We need help!'''' Marvin shouted while dragging Isaac behind him.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac looked curious.


    Marvin stopped dragging Isaac once they were inside the room.


    He went straight towards his VR Helmet, which was Silver-Ranked. He put a cable on it and connected it with a TV.


    The screen of TV showed an image of a vige with text floating in front of him.


    [Banned!]


    ''''Uuh?'''' Isaac looked at Marvin with a questioning look.


    Marvin scratched his head, ''''It seems that my friends and I got banned from the starting vige. So, how can we remove the ban?''''


    Isaac''s eyes almost bulged out of the sockets, ''''Y-You got banned from the vige?! How?!''''


    Marvin sighed, ''''We didn''t know that burning the Vige Chief''s house is forbidden.''''


    ''''You burned the Vige Chief''s house?!''''


    Marvin chuckled and waved his hand, ''''Not only me, but my friends also helped!''''


    Isaac was sweatdropping, ''''Of course, it is forbidden!''''


    ''''Ah, shit.'''' Marvin scratched his head, ''''They should have put a warning sign or something.''''


    Isaac facepalmed, ''''How long did you guys manage to y?''''


    ''''Uh, 20 minutes or so.'''' Marvin replied, ''''Now we have been arguing with Guards for over an hour, and they don''t let us enter.''''


    Isaac rubbed his forehead and said with resignation, ''''I-I don''t think you can get unbanned.''''


    ''''Then what should we do?'''' Marvin asked.


    ''''Go to the Forest, try to grind XP all the way to the level 10, then you can leave the Starting Vige and go to the Starting City.''''


    Marvin nodded; he lied down on the bed and put the VR Helmet back on his head.


    ''''Thanks for the help, Lil bro.'''' He said, and then his face became emotionless as he entered the White Online once again.


    Isaac wryly smiled and left the room.


    ''''Troublemakers....''''

 Chapter 82 - Doctor Richard.

    In the hospital of Snowstar.


    A figure with beautiful ck hair and a paleplexion was seen lying on the bed while an expensive-looking VR Helmet was covering her features.


    Soon, her emotionless face started changing as she started blinking. She looked at the visor covering her face and took the helmet off her head.


    *Creak*


    The door to her hospital room opened as two attractive-looking females came while wearing nurse outfits.


    They smiled gently as they appeared next to the hospital bed.


    ''''Luna, how are you feeling?'''' The first nurse asked. She had a short pixie-style haircut with adorable facial features.


    ''''I am fine, Maria,'''' Luna replied with a soft smile on her face, which made her look pitiful when you look at her fatigued eyes and pale skin.


    The second nurse grabbed the VR Helmet and put it gently on the desk.


    ''''Thank you, Sofia,'''' Luna said with gratitude.


    Sofia had long blond hair with a petite body and mature-like face, which made her look like the older sister of others.


    She gently smiled and replied, ''''Did you have fun today?''''


    Luna smiled and nodded, ''''I did.''''


    ''''Did you meet any boys?'''' Maria teasingly asked while looking at the machine which shows Luna''s vitals.


    It was special made machine for patients with Winter Illnesses. They will know immediately if the patient will have a nosebleed or a stomach ache and will have enough time to prevent it.


    Both are very dangerous for patients with Winter Illness because either of those can kill the patient.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Luna humped and crossed her arms, but a small hue of pink dyed her soft and pale-looking cheeks.


    Sofia had a teasing smile, ''''Maria, it seems that our princess is hiding something.''''


    Maria acted like she was hurt, ''''Our Luna has been stolen.''''


    Sofia wiped her imaginary tears, ''''They grow up so fast.''''


    Luna pouted and threw her pillow towards the two nurses.


    Maria grabbed the pillow and smiled, ''''Who is it? Is he handsome?!''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Luna turned her head away, not wanting to answer any questions.


    Maria and Sofia wanted to tease her more, but then a tall doctor with well-defined facial features entered the room.


    ''''Doctor Richard.'''' Maria and Sofia both bowed.


    Richard gently smiled, ''''Luna, how are you feeling?''''


    ''''Good!'''' Luna replied with a tired smile. She is getting easily tired, and she could barely keep her eyes open.


    ''''Tired?'''' Richard asked and touched her forehead.


    ''''Mm.'''' Luna nodded with her eyes slowly closing.


    Maria and Sofia helped her to lie down and covered her petite figure with a nket.


    Richard looked at the machine with a serious expression.


    The machine showed that Luna should be fine for the night, but he has learned not to trust machines with blind confidence.


    That''s why he reprogrammed it; if something is happening with Luna, he will find out immediately.


    ''''Give her the medicine, and...'''' Richard tapped his chiseled jawline and continued, ''''Double the dose; she is looking paler than before.''''


    Maria and Sofia nodded. They started giving the medicine while Richard left the room.


    Shortly afterward, he entered his office, where hundreds of papers were spread around on the floor.


    He grabbed one of the papers with words [Winter Illness]


    When he became a medical student, he started reading hundreds of books about this illness. One day he wanted to create the cure and print his name on the annals of history, but he hasn''t gotten even close to figuring it out.


    He sighed in frustration and scratched his head. He knows everything about Winter Illness but doesn''t know how to cure it.


    That makes him annoyed and frustrated at hisck of talent.


    He remembered the paleplexion Luna has and that made him grimace.


    Next week she will have surgery, which is mostly to slow down the spreading of the illness, but Richard knew that she won''t have much time left.


    Richard sat down on the ground and leaned on the wall, ''''Always when I feel I am close to figuring it out... The answer will be more obscure.''''


    *Ring*


    He snapped his head towards the direction of the sound and saw the sounding from his phone. Hezily picked up the phone and answered the call.


    ''''Yes?'''' He answered with azy tone.


    ''''Daddy?'''' A innocent and young voice came from the other side of the phone.


    Richard''sziness immediately disappeared, ''''Laura, shouldn''t you be sleeping?''''


    ''''Mommy said that I can give you one call!'''' The innocent voice sounded very proud.


    Richard chuckled, ''''You ckmailed her, didn''t you?''''


    ''''U-Umm.'''' The voice became panicked, ''''I-I told mommy that I-I will go sleep if I can give you one call!''''


    ''''You rascal.'''' Richard lied down on the floor and listened to the breathing of his daughter.


    ''''When will youe home?'''' Laura asked with a hopeful tone.


    Richard sadly smiled and looked at the pile of papers, ''''Soon, honey. Go to sleep; I will be there when you wake up.''''


    ''''Alright!'''' The voice became energetic instantly.


    ''''Sweet dreams,'''' Richard said.


    ''''Good night!'''' Laura said with a cheerful tone and disconnected the phone call.


    Richard put the phone back in his pocket.


    He looked at the pile of papers and stood up, ''''Alright, time to create the cure.'''' He cracked his knuckles and entered the world of research papers.


    Luna resembles a lot of his daughter, and he knows that she has parents who love her.


    Richard scratched his head and looked at the hundred papers in front of him, ''''These won''t help me create the cure... I need to figure something else out.''''


    His gaze lingered on a helmet with a golden color.


    It was Gold-Ranked VR Helmet!


    ''''What am I thinking...'''' Richard sighed, and a stupid idea surfaced into his mind, ''''Why do I feel like I can find a cure in that world...''''


    But, the voice inside his mind was too good at tempting, and soon he found the VR Helmet on his head.


    Richard connected the VR Helmet with the inte and pressed [White Online]


    His face became emotionless as his figure slumped down on the ground in an ufortable position.


    He entered the world of White Online with only purpose.


    To find a cure for Winter Illness!

 Chapter 83 - Saturday.

    Next morning.


    It was Saturday.


    Every student in Snowstar has weekend holidays, and this weekend is not any different.


    Isaac was already at the dining table having breakfast with his family. He would have always enjoyed the weekend holidays if he was still in school, but now it is just simr with any other day.


    But today is still quite of a special day.


    Maxwell and Isabe discussed normal household business.


    Mark was stuffing his mouth full of delicious food.


    Sophia was on her phone, scrolling through the inte.


    Marvin was texting with his friends.


    Yesterday he yed White Online first time, and he immensely enjoyed it, even though he and his friends had to spend most of the time in the forest after getting an unfortunate ban on the vige.


    He was texting with his delinquent friends about what they should do today, but they are still some distance away from level 10, so their choices are quite obvious.


    Alice and Isaac were looking at her phone.


    She was showing about the school material of third-years. Even though Isaac has dropped out, he still studies.


    Alice was on School Council, and she easily got the third-year material.


    ''''Alright, send it to me. I will check those outter.'''' Isaac said and stood up.


    Alice nodded and said with an energetic expression, ''''Alright!''''


    Isaac left the dining room and went straight towards the fourth floor, where his room was located.


    Inside his room, he went straight towards his wardrobe and grabbed the familiar-looking box from there.


    He carried it towards his bed and put it down gently.


    He grabbed the blue VR-Helmet from the box and put the box down to the floor.


    ''''Let''s do this...'''' Isaac lied down on the soft andrge bed. He took a deep breath and put the VR-Helmet on his head.


    He blinked a couple of times until his vision started changing.


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Legacies Awaits You!]


    ...


    Isaac''s eyes opened with a m, and he saw a familiar white ceiling. He sat up, and instantly familiar notifications popped up in front of him.


    [Legacy Tournament Commences in 4 Days 2 hour 1 minutes]


    [Contenders: 39]


    ''''39... It is increasing.'''' Isaac left the bed and started taking the items from underneath of the bed.


    He stuffed all of them inside his Inventory. Before going to the Duo Dungeon, he will sell his items.


    He hopes to get a good price from the ck Arrow Guild, but he also can''tin if he doesn''t get a satisfying amount. He can''t sell anywhere else; this is thest ce where he can sell.


    There are other Guilds, but he is already on friendly terms with ck Arrow Guild. He probably gets even worse deals from other Guilds.


    Isaac left his rented room and went straight downstairs. He thought he would see the familiar sight of Be cooking, but she was nowhere to be seen.


    ''''She is always somewhere...'''' Isaac murmured and shrugged, ''''NPC''s must have their own lives too I guess.''''


    ''''Oh, right!'''' Isaac eximed and looked at his figure, to see is he still wearing clothes or not.


    And this time... He... Kinda is.


    He had his Chain Armor covering his chest, but he didn''t have his pants.


    ''''What the hell... This must be a glitch.'''' Isaac with annoyed face put the other half of the Chain Armor, which covered his legs as well.


    ''''I need to ask about this in the forums...'''' He sighed and looked at his Inventory onest time.


    He looked if he remembered his keys and he still had them. He nodded and left the house.


    The familiar sight of families of NPCs ying with a cheerful expressions came visible.


    After they saw Isaac appearing, many of them nodded, which Isaac returned.


    To many Isaac looked quite weird when he first moved in, but he didn''t seem bad kid and they had asked about Be about him.


    Be only talked good about him... Sometimes talked little bit too much.


    Isaac started walking towards the exit of the neighborhood where two Guards was standing proudly.


    He managed to leave the neighborhood without any hups, but now he had to find ck Arrow''s Guild Building.


    Darth said to him that it was close to the City Square, but that area is quite wide.


    He couldn''t give proper instructions, because the Guild building is quite new and even he has only visited it couple of times.


    Half an hourter, he reached the City Square and he saw the familiar sight of both NPCs and yers selling items. Some were sessful, while others with items that were quite Common didn''t have any luck and they had to leave with dejected expressions.


    Isaac scratched his head and looked around, but he didn''t see any building that had logo of ck Arrow.


    But soon, he felt a touch on his shoulder.


    ''''Wraith.'''' Isaac snapped his head towards the person who touched his shoulder and said his name.


    He saw a red-haired figure with beautiful red eyes.


    ''''Redless... Right?'''' Isaac wasn''tpletely sure. He barelymunicated with other ck Arrow members.


    Redless nodded, ''''You are here for ck Arrow Guild building, right?''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''I am notpletely sure where it is.''''


    ''''Follow me, Darth thought that you won''t find it. This ce is far toorge.'''' Redless said and started pushing himself through the crowd of people.


    Isaac quickly followed behind him as Redless made path by pushing NPC''s and yers to the side.


    But, not many seemed offended, because there was a symbol of ck Arrow on the robes of Redless.


    Guild members are quite special existences. No one wants to offend any of the Guilds, especially the members of Top Guilds.


    If members of two Guilds shed, that could lead to a Guild war and there is a chance of both Guilds getting wiped out.


    But, many of the Guild members be arrogant because of their new status. They weren''t anything special in real life, but in this second world, they are like royals.


    Even the members of weaker Guilds act arrogant, but that will be their downfall.


    Only more Guilds will arise, and the weaker ones will fall to ruins.

 Chapter 84 - Black Arrow Guild Building.

    ''''Here.'''' Redless stopped in front of arge two-floor building with a beautiful ck arrow symbol on the top of the building.


    There were yers with green robes exiting and entering the building without stopping. It was bustling, especially today because it is a very special day.


    Duo Dungeon!


    There were also yers with Golden Robes, who were members of Golden Crown.


    They are here to meet up with their Duo''s and prepare to leave for the Dungeon.


    Isaac followed Redless as they entered the building.


    Inside the building, there was arge lounge-like room with a front desk and dozens of couches, where yers with green robes and golden robes were gathered to discuss about the Duo Dungeon.


    Redless went straight towards the front desk and tapped the desk to get the attention of the woman in the desk.


    ''''Yes?'''' The woman said politely.


    ''''Where is Darth?'''' Redless asked bluntly.


    The woman smiled and replied, ''''He is on the second floor with other Core Members.''''


    Redless nodded and went straight towards the second floor while Isaac followed.


    Some of the ck Arrow Guild members frowned as someone unknown was entering the second floor.


    Only Core Members and Guild Master is allowed to enter there, but now someone who they had never seen before entered. Some recognized him as the guy from yesterday, but they still weren''t happy with someone with no status entering the sacred area.


    That made many displeased, but he seemed to be with Redless, which caused everyone to keep their mouth shut.


    Redless isn''t known to have the best temper. If he gets annoyed, then there will be chaos.


    The second floor had dozens of tables and rooms, but Redless ignored all the doors and went straight towards the door where a ck Arrow symbol was located.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    He knocked a few times and waited for something.


    ''''Come in.'''' A beautiful and sweet voice came inside the room.


    Redless opened the door, and he instantly saw Queen Diana sitting around a round table with other Core Members.


    ''''Wraith is here,'''' Redless said and entered the room while Isaac entered behind him.


    ''''Cutie-chan!'''' Queen Diana''s eyes sparkled.


    ''''Wraith!'''' Darth shouted and pointed at the seat next to him, which was empty.


    Isaac sat down on the seat and nodded towards everyone.


    He received smiles as a reply.


    ''''Alright, now that cutie is here, we can start.'''' Queen Diana''s face became serious, ''''Today is Duo Dungeon, and it is the most important event in ck Arrow''s history! If we get the First Clear, we will get hundreds more Guild members, and we will be one of the strongest Guilds in Stronglord.''''


    Everyone nodded seriously.


    ''''It doesn''t matter who gets the First Clear, but it must be someone from ck Arrow Guild!'''' Queen Diana mmed the table and stood up, ''''We don''t know what kind of Dungeon it will be, but be prepared for everything.''''


    ''''There is a reason why we teamed with Golden Crown.'''' Queen Diana took a deep breath and continued, ''''We are allies, and if some other Guild, like League of Assassins, gets First Clear... There will be chaos, and they are too arrogant, so if they get stronger... They will probably try to wipe us out, so we don''t have anywhere to go.''''


    Everyone looked serious, while Isaac was surprised.


    ''This is much more serious than I thought it would be...'' Isaac took a gulp and nced at Darth, who seemed very serious.


    Isaac clenched his fists, and a firm look appeared in his eyes, ''Time to do my best...''


    Queen Diana looked outside the window and said, ''''Go and do your final preparations, we will leave in an hour!''''


    Everyone nodded and started leaving the room.


    Darth patted Isaac''s shoulder and said, ''''Did you bring your items?''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''I did.''''


    Darth stood up and said, ''''Follow me, there is separate room for that.''''


    Isaac nodded and left with Darth.


    Queen Diana started hopping after them.


    Darth nced at her with a twitching eyebrow, ''''Guild Master?''''


    ''''Yes?'''' Queen Diana innocently tilted her head.


    ''''Why are youing with us?''''


    Queen Diana giggled and said, ''''It seems fun!''''


    Darth looked exhausted instantly, ''''Wraith will sell his items for us, it is not fun, it is business.''''


    Queen Diana pouted and crossed her arms, ''''I aming!''''


    Darth rubbed his forehead; he felt a headache appearing.


    Isaac wryly smiled and patted his shoulder.


    They left the second floor and entered the first floor.


    Everyone on the first floor saluted when they saw Queen Diana appear.


    Queen Diana innocently waved her hand and followed behind Darth, who walked straight towards the door, which leads to the backyard of the building.


    The backyard of the building was quite simple, with a small fountain in the middle.


    There was another building in the backyard, which was separated from the main building.


    Isaac looked curiously at the building and saw Darth entering it with Queen Diana.


    He entered as well and saw a dozen yers with green robes putting their items on the desk, while there were men and women were sitting on the desks with professional smiles.


    ''''Who are they?'''' Isaac asked, because he didn''t see their nametags.


    ''''NPCs.'''' Darth replied.


    ''''NPCs?!'''' Isaac eximed.


    Queen Diana giggled and said, ''''We hired them.''''


    ''''You can hire them?''''


    Darth nodded, ''''They are somewhat like normal humans; they need jobs as well to feed their families. New Guilds made hundreds of new jobs avable; that''s why most of the NPCs are grateful for yers.''''


    ''''We also give them good pay!'''' Queen Diana said proudly.


    They arrived in one of the desks with a handsome man.


    ''''How may I be assistance?'''' He asked with a respectful look as he recognized the figures in front of him.


    ''''He is here to sell items.'''' Darth patted the shoulder of Isaac.


    The handsome man turned his head towards the beautiful individual.


    ''''May I see your items, sir?'''' He asked respectfully. He treats Isaac like he is a VIP Quest because he is with Queen Diana and Darth, who are main reason that he has a good paying job.


    Isaac nodded and started dropping his items on the desk and soon the whole desk was full with items.


    Queen Diana and Darth opened their mouths wide open as they saw some of the information of the items.


    The handsome man was sweatdropping.


    He doesn''t even know the value of some of these items!

 Chapter 85 - Master Classes.

    Darth grabbed one of the items from the desk and looked at it with widened eyes.


    [Fox Beast''s Tail - Rare]


    He looked at Isaac with a face full of shock, ''''Now I understand why you didn''t want to go to City Square; you will be robbed in 10 minutes.''''


    Isaac awkwardly chuckled, ''''Yeah...''''


    Queen Diana was also quite serious, ''''This item will let our Potion Master make a Rare Healing Potion!''''


    ''''It will probably also increase his level by a lot,'''' Darth said with a small smile.


    ''''How does his level increase by doing that?'''' Isaac tilted his head in curiosity.


    ''''Potion Master levels up by doing Potions and more difficult and higher ranked potion it is, more XP he will get,'''' Darth replied.


    Isaac nodded, ''I guess Healers and Medics get HP with healing teammates and helping others to fight Beasts, Monsters, and other yers...''


    The handsome NPC was looking at the items with a thoughtful expression. He knew the value of some of the items, but he debated whether he should offer a lower amount than it really is worth or not.


    ''''Give him a fair price,'''' Darth said sternly.


    ''''A-Ah, alright!'''' The NPC instantly nodded with embarrassment and understanding.


    He looked at a few of the items and put the information of the items in front of him.


    [Wolf Beast''s Fang - Umon]


    [Bear Beast''s w - Umon]


    [Fox Beast''s Tail - Rare]


    [Two Silver Axes - Common]


    [Healing Cane - Comoon]


    [3 Panther Fur - Common]


    [6 Lion ws - Umon]


    [11 Wolf Fangs - Umon]


    [6 Wolf Fur - Common]


    While the NPC was doing the calctions of how much the value of the items was. Darth and Isaac were discussing about other sses, while Queen Diana tried to join the conversation.


    ''''Poison Master can also kill yers, so it is a very versatile ss.'''' Darth said and continued, ''''They get XP from killing yers, and also if someone using his Poison Potions to kill someone, he also gets 10% of the XP. It is one of the sses with the highest XP grinding speed, but their ability in fighting is still verycking.''''


    Isaac nodded thoughtfully and then asked, ''''Do you know what Priest usually does?''''


    ''''Oh, why are you curious about it?'''' Darth asked curiously.


    ''''My sister seemed interested in bing a priest,'''' Isaac mentioned with a small smile.


    Darth nodded, ''''I haven''t personally seen any Priest in action, but...'''' He looked at Queen Diana, who was pouting because they were ignoring her.


    ''''But... Guild Master has.'''' Darth said with a sigh.


    Queen Diana''s eyes sparkled, ''''Yes, I have!''''


    ''''Can you tell me about it?'''' Isaac asked.


    Queen Diana puffed her chest in pride, ''''Of course!''''


    ''''Priest''s are usually nonbat ss, while Dark Priest''s arebat-rted, which is quite strange.''''


    Isaac and Darth nodded. It was strange indeed.


    ''''But...'''' Queen Diana slyly smiled, ''''Priests can''t fight against Shooter or Fighters sses, but they can fight against Dark Priest''s and win!''''


    ''''How?'''' Isaac furrowed his brows, ''Does their ability nullify Dark Priest''s abilities, or what...''''


    ''''Dark Priest''s are mostly using curses and Dark Magic, but Priest''s can borrow the strength of the Gods to nullify the effects of the curses and Dark Magic.''''


    ''''I heard that Priest''s aremunicating with Gods, is that correct?'''' Isaac asked.


    Queen Diana looked slightly surprised, ''''I don''t know where you heard that, but it is correct. Priest''s are so-called Messengers of the Gods; even though it seems fancy title, not many are interested about that ss because it seems very weak, and there is no way that weak people can get Legacies.


    ''''But there have also been few sneaky ones who tried to be Priest so they can get into good books of the Gods and ask for Godly Legacy.''''


    ''''Has it worked?''''


    Queen Diana giggled and shook her head, ''''Gods aren''t stupid; they instantly knew what they were thinking of doing, that''s why the Priest''s who tried to do that got their privilege ofmunicating with Gods removed.''''


    ''''So, the only special thing about them got removed, which makes thempletely useless and no one wants to have anything to do with them, because there is a rumor that if you talk with them, you get cursed.''''


    Isaac looked shocked, ''''That''s quite of a punishment!''''


    Queen Diana nodded, ''''It was their own mistake of trying to be greedy.''''


    ''''But, what about Dark Priest''s, can theymunicate with Gods?'''' Isaac asked; he always felt that ss is very strange and very evil-like, but is it really.


    Queen Diana''s brows furrowed, even she doesn''t know.


    ''''I don''t really know, but not all Dark Priests are evil, like not all Assassins are evil either. But, most of them are one of the edgy kids who think that violence and insulting are cool, but with that attitude, they won''t make far in this game, maybe if they join with some other kids like them, then they might.''''


    Queen Diana knows better than everyone how important it is to have friends and be part of the Guild. Making enemies blindly will backfire in the end.


    Darth nodded, ''''Like Guild Master said, this game is indeed not for solo yers, but that''s only if you are nning to be Top yer, then being part of Guild is almost needed.''''


    Isaac nodded and looked at the NPC, who was almost finished.


    ''''Have you ever wondered why Trap Master was part of Mixed sses and not part of Support ss?'''' Isaac asked.


    Darth and Queen Diana looked at each other, not knowing how to answer that question.


    ''''Our Trap Master said that... Making traps isn''t their only specialty, like he was able to make Explosive arrows.'''' Darth said, he took a nce at the NPC and continued, ''''I think Trap Master can do well in the battlefield, but it needs good brains and great mastery of making traps to be sessful.''''


    Isaac nodded and was about to ask for something, but then the NPC opened his mouth.


    ''''I am done finishing counting the value.'''' The handsome NPC said and wiped his sweat, ''''I don''t really know the value of the Fox Tail, but I have heard some rumors of how much it was selling in Merchant Stores.''''


    ''''Alright, how much do we need to pay for cutie-chan?'''' Queen Diana asked.


    The handsome NPC paled slightly, ''''Well.... It will be slightly expensive.''''

 Chapter 86 - Unique.

    Queen Diana waited for the answer; she was confident that their Guild had enough funds to pay for Rare items.


    The handsome NPC uttered his words out of his mouth, ''''Most of the price wille from Rare items, but the value should be...'''' He pressed a few buttons in front of him, and instantly a notification appeared in front of everyone.


    [Value: 126,023 White Coins]


    Queen Diana''s eyes almost bulged out of her sockets, ''''So expensive?!''''


    Darth chuckled and looked at Isaac, ''''You will make us go bankrupt.''''


    Isaac wryly smiled, ''''You guys don''t need to buy the rare item; I can sell it somewhere else.''''


    Queen Diana instantly pinched his cheeks, ''''Nonsense! That Rare item is much more important than money!''''


    ''''Oh...'''' Isaac nodded dumbly and saw Queen Diana going to a metal cab at the end of the room.


    She took a silver-colored key from the Inventory and opened the cab.


    Isaac covered his eyes after a bright light assaulted his eyes. The bright light came from the White Coins located on the cab!


    Queen Diana took arge pouch from the Inventory and started dumping all the White Coins needed to buy those items.


    Even after emptying all the money, there was still much more left!


    ''''Bankrupt, eh?'''' Isaac looked at Darth with a twitching eyebrow.


    Darth''s eyes almost popped out of his sockets, ''''Guild Master, when did we have so much money?!''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Queen Diana pouted, ''''I kept our secret stash as secret, I know about your gambling addiction, Darth-chan!''''


    Darth''s eyes went red in anger, ''''I bought a lottery ticket only once!!!!''''


    ''''Gambling-chan, your new name, hmph.'''' Queen Diana said with a proud smile, which caused Darth to cough mouthful of blood.


    Isaac watched as Darth fell down on the ground with blood flowing from his mouth.


    ''''Cutie-chan, here.'''' Queen Diana smiled and gave therge pouch.


    ''''A-Ah, thanks.'''' Isaac took the heavy pouch and felt his arms instantly bing numb, but soon the interior of the pouch got sucked inside his Interface.

    Isaac looked at the amount of his money with widened eyes.


    ''I don''t need to be worried about my rent... But there is something I have to buy.'' Isaac smiled and felt a touch on his shoulder.


    He turned his head and saw Darth patting his shoulder while grudgingly looking at Queen Diana, who was looking at the items with sparkling eyes.


    ''''Should we go prepare for the Duo Dungeon?'''' Darth asked.


    Isaac nodded, ''''I need to buy something.''''


    Darth nodded, ''''We need the Healing Potions from our Potion Master; let''s go visit him first.''''


    Isaac nodded and left the building with Darth. They went back to the Main Building, and instead of going to the second floor, they entered the door which was behind the front desk.


    The woman on the desk politely smiled at them as they walked past.


    After entering the room, Isaac widened his eyes in shock as there were stairways going to the basement!


    ''''This is a secret ce of our Guild.'''' Darth said and started walking down the stairways, ''''Our Master sses are working here. They work almost all the time, but for some reason, they are enjoying it. They also get good pay for it, but I think they are masochists.''''


    Isaac chuckled, and soon they arrived at the basement.


    There were four doors with different symbols on the door.


    The first door had a skull.


    The second door had a ss bottle.


    The third door was an explosion.


    The fourth door was surprisingly a praying gesture.


    ''''All of them are doors for our special sses.'''' Darth pointed at the first door, ''''First door is for Poison Master.''''


    ''''Second door is for Potion Master.''''


    ''''Third door is for Trap Master.''''


    ''''And the fourth door is... For Priest.''''


    ''''Priest?'''' Isaac frowned, ''''You guys had a Priest?''''


    Darth shook his head, ''''We didn''t, but we n to get one. It is very important to get at least one Priest for Guild; apparently, they can get Quests from Gods, not many know about it yet, but Guild Master heard about it.''''


    Isaac looked amazed. The Priest ss is starting to seem much more important in his eyes.


    Darth went to the second door and knocked a couple of times.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    He waited without a sound.


    ''''Come in...'''' An aged voice came from inside the room.


    Darth looked at Isaac and said, ''''He might be quite grumpy, but don''t mind him.''''


    Isaac nodded and watched as Darth opened the door.


    The room was surprisingly clean, with grey-colored walls and clean metallic tables surrounding the room.


    There were dozens of ss bottles on top of the tables; some of them were filled with green liquid, while some were empty.


    ''''Yo, old man,'''' Darth said bluntly and looked at the old man who was sitting in a chair who was carefully pouring green liquid inside a ss bottle.


    But his hand slightly twitched after Darth''s words, and some of the liquid missed the bottle.


    ''''Brat, shut the fuck up! Some of the Healing Potion went to waste, that is already worth of 10 HP, at least!'''' The old man shouted angrily. He had grey hair with a messy beard.


    After he was done pouring the liquid. He turned around, and Isaac could finally see his features.


    He had a somewhat dirty face, but there were some signs of being relieved and feeling young again.


    Isaac looked at the nametag and slightly widened his eyes in shock.


    [Gard]


    [Level: 22]


    Darth shrugged, ''''Wraith, this is our Potion Master, Gard, but you can call him old man or old fart.''''


    ''''No one is allowed to call me that!'''' Gard angrily shouted; he stood up and went to the table with dozens of bottles, ''''Take the bottles, brat, and leave me alone.''''


    Darth chuckled and grabbed dozens of the bottles, ''''See youter.''''


    ''''Whatever.'''' Gard waved his hand.


    ''''Nice to meet you.'''' Isaac bowed and left the room with Darth.


    Gard nced at the beautiful figure who left a second ago.


    ''''Hmm...'''' He narrowed his eyes as he looked at the beautiful figure''s white hair.


    ''''White hair.... That is very unique.''''

 Chapter 87 - Glitched.

    ''''So, where did you want to visit?'''' Darth asked while walking up the stairways, which leads to the first floor of the ck Arrow Guild building.


    ''''I was thinking about buying a new weapon,'''' Isaac said while remembering one gun which was simply way too expensive for him a few days ago.


    Darth nodded, ''''You can buy a much better weapon indeed; will you buy new armor as well?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''Only weapon, I am more than satisfied with Chain Armor.''''


    Darth nodded and left the basement area with Isaac.


    They went past the lounge area, and Isaac saw there were even more people than previously, making the floor quite crowded.


    ''''Tsk.'''' Darth clicked his tongue, ''''We really need to buy a bigger building, but they are so expensive.'''' With annoyance, he pushed through the yers, trying to leave the building.


    Isaac followed behind him while dodging the swarm of yers.


    A few secondster, and after a lot of ufortable moments, they managed to leave the building.


    They didn''t leave the City Square area because the Weapon Store was located quite near their Guild building.


    There are multiple Weapon Store''s, and this time they are visiting a different one than Isaac did. But ording to Darth, all the weapons are pretty much identical, but every Store has its own Unique Collections.


    Soon, they reached a two-floor building with a gun and explosion symbol.


    The interior of the building was quite simple, with greyish walls and different weapons hanging. There was one desk with one young woman standing without moving an inch.


    ''''She still gives me chills,'''' Darth said while looking outside the window towards the young woman who was standing without blinking.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac furrowed his brows and looked towards the young woman, ''''Why?''''


    ''''She doesn''t blink or move. She only speaks with her robotic tone.'''' Darth was trembling when remembering the first time he met her.


    ''''There are rumors that are saying that NPC is actually glitched.''''


    ''''Really?'''' Isaac took another nce at the young woman and felt curious.


    Darth opened the door while Isaac followed right behind.


    Darth didn''t even dare to look at the young woman and walked straight towards the second floor.


    But, Isaac walked slightly slower while looking at the young woman with a curious look.


    The young woman didn''t blink or move.


    The NPC usually looks like humans, and even their chests are moving like they are actually breathing.


    But, this young woman was stiff as a doll.


    It was like she was a mannequin, but could speak.


    Isaac turned his gaze away and followed behind Darth, but he didn''t notice that the young woman''s eye moved slightly in his direction.


    He entered the second floor and saw Darth looking at the Flintlock Pistols.


    ''''Are you going to buy Rare Flintlock Pistol?'''' Darth asked.


    Isaac looked around the floor, and finally, his gaze saw the weapon he was looking for.


    He stopped in front of the brown gun and smiled.


    [Musket (Rare) - 75,000 White Coins]


    It was a muchrger gun, resembling a sniper from real life, but it didn''t have a scope, instead a very long barrel and a sharp de at the end of the barrel.


    Darth walked next to Isaac and took a deep breath, ''''I haven''t seen anyone using this weapon yet... But I guess musket is specially made for Marksman ss.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''I want this one.'''' He pressed a button in front of him and looked at the information about the gun.


    [Musket (Rare): Reload 15 Seconds - 5 Shot Ammo Capacity - Musket Bullets Needed!]


    A smile crept on Isaac''s face. He grabbed the gun from the wall and touched it tenderly.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Darth had a pondering face, ''''The information seems great, but this gun might be very difficult to use, are you sure you want this one for Duo Dungeon?''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''I am certain.'''' He touched the sharp de of the musket and was sure that it could be used as a weapon.


    Darth and Isaac left the second floor.


    Isaac went straight towards the young woman while Darth decided to go outside to wait.


    The young woman still looked emotionless.


    ''''Hey, I am buying this.'''' Isaac put the gun on the desk and smiled slightly.


    ''''75000 White Coins.'''' She said with a robotic-like tone.


    Isaac nodded and took a pouch worth of 75000 White Coins from his Interface and put it on the desk.

    ''''Thanks for visiting.'''' She said again with a robotic tone.


    Isaac nodded and put the Musket on the Inventory.


    ''''Thank you,'''' Isaac said with a smile and left the Weapon Store.


    The young woman''s emotionless face slightly crumbled, and some signs of her being excited were seen in her facial features, but she became emotionless only a secondter.


    Outside the store.


    ''''You bought it?'''' Darth asked.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Yes.''''


    ''''I don''t know how you could talk with her so casually; so many have stopped going to this Weapon Store because she is simply too creepy.''''


    ''''I don''t think she was bad.'''' Isaac said with a shrug, ''''What should we do now?''''


    ''''Hmm...'''' Darth pondered, ''''I think preparations are done; we should try to get a carriage before they are sold out.''''


    Isaac nodded, but then he remembered one thing.


    ''''Ah!'''' He facepalmed.


    Darth stopped walking and looked at him with a questioning look, ''''What''s up?''''


    ''''I need to buy the Musket Bullets.'''' Isaac turned around and said, ''''I wille soon!'''' He started running towards the nearby Armory.


    Darth shrugged and started walking towards the entrance of the Stronglord.


    ''Let''s see how those arrogant carriage drivers are doing.'' Darth''s eyes became cold as he remembered their rip-off prices.


    Just thinking about it makes him angry, but they need a carriage to arrive there faster than others.

 Chapter 88 - King And Queen.

    20 minutester.


    Isaac arrived at the Gates of the Stronglord with his beautiful face drenched in sweat.


    ''''Huff... Huff...'''' Isaac took deep breaths and tried to catch his breathing.


    He bought a few hundred Musket Bullets a while ago, which cost him another 500 White Coins.


    He looked around the area close to the Gates, trying to find Darth.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes as he saw most of the carriages being taken already by annoyed-looking yers, while the Carriage Drivers arrogantly counted their money in front of the yers.


    Soon, his gaze got locked at one of the Carriages. He saw a lonely-looking ck-haired young man standing with annoyance.


    Isaac recognized him as Darth; he walked towards him and heard Darth muttering something.


    ''''Fucking bastard... I will take my arrow and push it so deep in your arseholes that you will start spitting money...'''' Darth stomped the ground angrily, but then he saw Isaac standing next to him with a questioning look.


    *Cough*


    Darth coughed out of embarrassment, ''''D-Did you get the bullets?''''


    ''''Yes, did you get the carriage?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Tsk.'''' Darth clicked his tongue and nodded, ''''I did... But that was fucking costly; we better get good stuff from the Dungeon; otherwise, I might cry to sleep.''''


    Isaac wryly smiled, ''''When are we leaving?''''


    Darth looked towards the driver, who was chatting with two other drivers, with no intention to leave.


    His eyebrow twitched, ''''When those gossiping bitches are ready to leave.''''


    Isaac peeked towards the drivers and saw themughing while showing their money pouches. The Drivers also looked quite different from what he remembered.


    They were wearing expensive outfits, only used by nobles and different kinds of jewelry was hanging from their necks.


    It was like they were desperately trying to announce to everyone that they were rich.


    Isaac sighed, ''''Do they not understand the Carriages will be useless in the future?''''


    ''''Hmm, what do you mean?'''' Darth looked at Isaac with questioning looks.


    ''''I managed to arrive at the Beast Forest only 10 minutester than Carriage would,'''' Isaac said.


    ''''And?'''' Darth looked confused, but soon realization dawned on him.


    ''''When our Stats are getting higher, I am sure arriving at the Beast Forest with running is possible in less than 1 hour.''''


    Darth''s face started having a massive smirk, ''''Hahaha! Those fuckers will be so fucked then!''''


    Isaac nodded, but then he shrugged, ''''New yers might still use Carriages, but... Maybe they understand their mistake by then and lower their prices.''''


    Darth pondered, but then a sly smile appeared on his handsome face, ''''Maybe in the future there has also different ways of transportation.''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac tilted his head.


    ''''I have heard that there are yers who have got Animal Manuals; it allows them to control the Wild Animals!'''' Darth grinned and continued, ''''If we can get like a Wolf Manual, we can use the Wolf as a mount!''''


    Isaac widened his eyes in amazement, ''''That''s incredible.''''


    Darth smugly looked towards the drivers who were still gossiping, ''You fuckers... Enjoy poverty in the future; I will be there tough at your faces then.''


    More and more yers started arriving at the entrance. Many of them started running towards the Beast Forest after seeing all the carriages being taken.


    Many of them were also part of the ck Arrow and Golden Crown Guild.


    Soon, a dozen figures arrived at where Darth and Isaac were.


    ''''Guild Master.'''' Darth nodded towards Queen Diana, who looked lovely in her green dress, with her robe covering most of her body.


    ''''Darth-chan, good job on getting Carriage.'''' Queen Diana said with a sweet smile.


    Darth nodded and finally saw the driver walking towards the Carriage, but very slowly.


    ''''Yo.'''' King Jonathan appeared next to Queen Diana and said.


    ''''Yo,'''' Darth replied, while Isaac nodded.


    ''''Alright, let''s go; I don''t have all day.'''' The driver said arrogantly and sat on the driver''s seat.


    Darth felt his hand itch, but he entered the carriage, with Isaac and others following right behind.


    ''''Hiyah!'''' The driver shouted and used the whips to hit the buttocks of the horses.


    *Neigh!*


    The horses neighed in pain and started running towards the Gates of Stronglord while pulling arge Carriage.


    The Carriage quickly passed many of the yers and started making its way to the Beast Forest.


    Inside the carriage.


    There were around 15 seats, and all of them were filled.


    Isaac sat in the corner seat with Darth next to him and King Jonathan in front of him.


    Queen Diana was sitting next to King Jonathan while innocently fidgeting her fingers.


    ''''My name is Jonathan; I don''t think we have talked before properly.'''' King Jonathan put his hand for a handshake.


    Isaac grabbed the hand and shook it, ''''Wraith.''''


    ''''What is your ss?'''' King Jonathan asked curiously, he thought about the possibility of Isaac being an Archer, but he isn''t holding an arrow or quiver.


    ''''Don''t tell him, we are rivals,'''' Darth said with his arms crossed.


    King Jonathan chuckled, ''''I doubt that information will hurt.''''


    Darth snorted.


    ''''Is Jonathan your real name?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    King Jonathan smiled and nodded, ''''It is.''''


    ''''Why are you using your real name?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    ''''Because they have to,'''' Darth said.


    ''''Why?'''' Isaac looked confused, but then Queen Diana answered.


    ''''Creator of White Online, Arthur told every King and Queen to have their real-life name as their nametag.'''' She said with a shrug. Even she doesn''t know the reason for it.


    ''''Did you guys have King and Queen in your name automatically?'''' Isaac asked.


    King Jonathan nodded, ''''We did. Our ounts are linked with our Beta Tester ounts, so Arthur added that nametag to our ounts before White Online even got released.''''


    Queen Diana proudly puffed her chest, ''''I was the fifth one to receive Queen title.''''


    King Jonathan awkwardly chuckled, ''''I was eight to receive King title.''''


    ''''Do you guys know King us?'''' Isaac curiously asked.


    King Jonathan nodded, ''''I met him a few times. Why?''''


    ''''I read his forum post, and apparently, he hates Marksman ss with passion,'''' Isaac said with slight annoyance.


    Suddenly, King Jonathan''s and Queen Diana''s faces turned into shock.


    ''''Are you sure he said that?'''' King Jonathan asked with a frown.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Why?''''


    ''''Well....'''' Queen Diana''s face looked conflicted, ''''King us'' ss is Marksman.''''

 Chapter 89 - Journey.

    ''''What?!'''' Isaac eximed after sudden news, ''''King us is using Marksman?!''''


    King Jonathan nodded with a serious look, ''''He did in the Beta Testing phase.''''


    ''''King us was a quiet guy.'''' Queen Diana said, her face conflicted as she continued, ''''He never talked with anyone and liked to stay alone.''''


    ''''Maybe he found out the ws in the Marksman ss and started hating it?'''' Darth guessed.


    King Jonathan frowned and shook his head, ''''Arthur asked from every King and Queen if they wanted to change ss... us didn''t want to change.''''


    ''''Did Marksman get nerfed?'''' Darth asked, ''''Is it simr with the Beta Test version?''''


    Queen Diana shook her head, ''''None of the sses was changed. Thest update was the first time any of the sses was changed.''''


    Isaac frowned, ''What is the meaning of this... Why doesn''t King us want anyone to use Marksman?''


    ''''So, your ss is Marksman?'''' King Jonathan asked.


    Isaac nodded, ''''That''s right.''''


    King Jonathan nodded, ''''Even though Marksman seems to be one of the weakest sses in the paper, it can still be buffed.''''


    ''''Don''t lose hope!'''' Darth said while patting Isaac''s shoulder.


    Isaac looked thoughtful, ''I guess King us wasn''t the first one to insult Marksman ss... Everyone seems to have a mindset that the Marksman ss is useless, but who is spreading that rumor... And why is King us lying...''


    *Bam*


    The carriage trembled, and everyone who was inside the carriage almost fell down from their seats.


    ''''Damn!'''' Darth screamed, ''''This transportation sucks!''''


    Isaac looked outside the carriage and saw small holes on the ground, which caused the trembling.


    He didn''t notice those holes when he was running on the same road, but now that he looked closely.


    The dirt road was quite badly taken care of, and it is only a matter of time before vehicles with wheels are impossible to be used as transportation.


    The carriage kept shaking for five minutes straight until it reached the smoother part of the road.


    Darth rubbed his painful buttocks, ''''I am starting to hate carriages even more.''''


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana are used to carriage rides, but even they felt slightly annoyed because of the bumpy ride.


    Isaac sighed; this will be a long ride.


    The not-so-smooth carriage ride went for another 1 hour and 20 minutes until finally the entrance of the Beast Forest became visible.


    After the carriage stopped, Darth instantly left the carriage and stomped towards the driver.


    The driver took a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking.


    ''''What the hell was that?!'''' Darth screamed after reaching the driver''s seat.


    He looked at the drivers'' nametag and printed it on his memory.


    [Ting]


    The driver, also known as Ting, turned his head towards Darth and frowned, ''''What, who do you think you are? You dare to yell at me, I will get you jailed.''''


    Darth had veins popping on his forehead, ''''The ride was fucking bumpy, and it took 20 minutes longer than it was supposed to! We could have fucking ran faster here!''''


    Ting snorted and took a puff of the cigarette, ''''The scenery was nice, so I decided to enjoy it more. If you don''t like it, fuck off. I can get you banned from all of the carriage rides with a snap of my fingers.''''


    ''''What about the, I don''t have all day bullshit!'''' Darth screamed and pointed at Ting with a shaky finger, ''''You think you are so fucking important, eh?!''''


    Ting chuckled, ''''Of course I am important.''''


    Darth was about toplete snap, but then Queen Diana touched his shoulder, ''''Darth-chan, it''s enough.''''


    Darth looked at her and saw her enraged look, which he rarely saw.


    But, it was not directed at him; it was towards Ting.


    ''''Fine...'''' Darth said and turned around to leave.


    Ting snorted and took another puff, ''''No balls.''''


    Darth''s eyes went bloodshot, but he continued to walk towards the Beast Forest with absolute rage.


    Queen Diana narrowed her eyes while looking at Ting, but she turned around and followed behind Darth with her face emotionless; no one knew what she was thinking about.


    King Jonathan followed behind with other Core Members of ck Arrow.


    Isaac heard themotion while being inside the carriage; he took a nce at the tire of the carriage and saw one of the bolts being loosened slightly after the bumpy ride.


    ''That looks important.'' Isaac touched the bolt and pulled it off from the tire, and he almost instantly saw the tire being on a breaking point.


    He threw the bolt on the nearby bush and smiled innocently towards Ting.


    Ting looked at the beautiful boy and snorted, ''''What are you looking at?''''


    ''''Have a nice ride.'''' Isaac innocently said and ran after Darth.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Ting threw the cigarette away and grabbed his whips.


    He had a small sadistic smile as he whipped the buttocks of the horses.


    ''''Hiyah!''''


    *Neigh*


    The horses neighed and started galloping away from the Beast Forest.


    Ting looked quite rxed, but then the carriage started shaking ufortably.


    ''''Hmm?'''' He looked confused, but after one of the tires got struck with a rock on the road...


    The tire cracked apart and caused the carriage to crash on the ground!


    ''''AHHHHHHHH!'''' The carriage did a sudden stop, which caused Ting to fly out of the driver''s seat and fall down heavily on the ground.


    *Neigh!*


    The horses got rid of the restraints and started galloping away, leaving the stunned Ting behind.


    ''''COME BACK!'''' Ting screamed, but the horses didn''t look behind and soon disappeared from the view.


    Leaving destroyed carriage and despaired Ting behind.


    Ting looked around him and gulped with a pale face. He wasn''t far enough from the Beast Forest, and it isn''t rare for some of the Beasts to leave the forest to attack travelers.


    He shakily stood up and started quickly running on the road, which leads to the Stronglord, but his fitness was reduced by a lot after a sudden gain of wealth.


    He started enjoying food, which only nobles could enjoy before, and the delicious food hooked him, which caused him to gain weight a lot.


    Also, he got addicted to cigarettes, which made his fitness even worse.


    He got a long journey ahead, but after only running for 100 meters, he was panting heavily, but then...


    He heard a sound.


    ''''Awoooooooooooo!''''


    Ting shakily turned his head towards the Beast Forest and saw pair of red eyes gazing at him hungrily.


    His legs started trembling, but then he remembered the individuals he gave a ride to.


    ''''HELP ME!'''' His loud scream echoed in the distance.


    Darth and others suddenly frowned and thought they heard a noise.


    ''''Did you hear something?'''' Darth asked with a frown.


    Isaac shook his head, ''''Nope, let''s hurry, we need to reach the Duo Dungeon; we might be alreadyte.''''


    Everyone nodded and quickly forgot about the sudden noise.

 Chapter 90 - Duo Dungeon Stronglord!

    The Duo Dungeon was located in the area where Level 25 Beasts are located. It would have been impossible to reach it yesterday, but after exploring Forest of Unknown, everyone part of the exploration had a great increase in levels.


    Isaac and others easily reached the Duo Dungeon, and the first thing they saw was the crowd of people who had already reached the Duo Dungeon!


    Some of the Guilds and Parties left Stronglord much earlier and managed to arrive a few minutes earlier than Isaac and others.


    King Jonathan pushed the yers in front of them to the side, which caused everyone to look angry at first, but then they saw who they were.


    yers stepped to the side and let them enter the entrance of the Duo Dungeon, where dozens of yers were already gathered.


    Most of them were Guild masters of powerful Guilds.


    King Jonathan frowned as he saw Darkside with his Guild League of Assassins standing on the sidelines with their ck robes covering their figures.


    Darth tapped Isaac''s shoulder and pointed at the stone table which was next to the Duo Dungeon.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes and looked at the texts on the stone table.

    ___


    ''''That is our goal.'''' Darth said solemnly, ''''Top 1 is for the First Clear, but reaching top 10 at least is what we need to get.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Understood.''''


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana started discussing with other Guild Masters, while most of the Solo yers or Parties were staying on the sidelines.


    Isaac looked towards the Duo Dungeon, and it seemed significantly different from the one in Swornword Vige.


    The Duo Dungeon was located on a massive mountain with one pathway. They could clearly see the pathway being lit up withnterns, and at the end of the pathway, there were five paths, leading to who knows where.


    On top of the pathway, there was a sign.


    [Duo Dungeon Stronglord]


    Isaac looked at the five paths with a frown, ''Is it luck-based... That would be stupid.''


    Darth looked at his quiver and counted all his arrows. He was doing his final preparations for the Duo Dungeon.


    Isaac took a leather pouch from the Inventory, which had all his Musket Bullets.


    He strapped it on his waist and threw his pouch, which had rock bullets, to the Inventory.


    Three pouches would hinder his movements too much.


    He took his Musket Rifle from the Inventory and strapped it on his back.


    His gun surprised many, and some of them even looked greedy to get their hands on that gun.


    It would sell for quite a lot of money!


    There were few Marksmen present, and they almost drooled at the sight of that gun. It is almost the peak gun Marksman could get for a long time.


    They felt greedier than anybody else. That gun would make them rise in rankings for sure, and maybe they could show to their Guild Masters that they weren''t useless for having Marksman ss!


    Isaac felt their gazes on his gun, but he didn''t mind them. If he wasn''t sure that he could keep his expensive gun, he wouldn''t have bought it.


    Somewhere, in the crowd of people.


    A party which consisted only yers with the Thief ss, hungrily gazed at the gun, and they were sure that it was above Umon!


    Isaac felt the Musket Rifle weighing quite a lot, and it was around 150cm, which is only 20cm shorter than his height, which made carrying it slightly tricky, but as long it doesn''t hinder his movements too much, he would be fine.


    ''''Alright, everyone!'''' King Jonathan turned his body to face every yer present.


    Queen Diana and other Guild Masters stepped to the side.


    Darkside looked at King Jonathan with a frown; he started whispering with his Guild members.


    ''''Everyone, join a party with your Duo and make five lines. There are five paths, and we decided that everyone should be allowed to enter the Dungeon simultaneously, so that it will be fairpetition.'''' King Jonathan''s charming and calm voice made everyone nod with approval.


    Darth pressed a few buttons in front of him.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [yer Darth invited you to his party!]


    [ept/Reject]


    Isaac pressed [ept] instantly.


    Five lines started already forming, but there were still many who debated which line they should join.


    It is quite a risky choice.


    Darkside and the League of Assassins waited for King Jonathan to join one of the lines.


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana were the first ones to make a line on the first path, and instantly most of their Guild members followed after them.


    Darkside and League of Assassins joined that line as well.


    ''''Which one should we join?'''' Darth asked while most of the yers were on the first line, while the fourth line waspletely empty.


    ''''Well... Let''s go on the fourth one.'''' Isaac said with a shrug; he tried to find any clues, but there weren''t any, so they had to gamble.


    Darth nodded, and they were the only ones to enter the fourth line.


    But after they joined that line. A group of yers with dark robes joined that line as well.


    Darth nced at them and frowned as he recognized them as yers with Thief ss.


    But, he shook his head and turned his head back to the Duo Dungeon.


    The Thief behind Isaac looked hungrily at the gun, which was only an inch away from him. He could steal it and disappear from the forest before anyone would even notice it.


    He could sell it in time, but he would probably be hunted down, so he needs to be sneaky while stealing it.


    Isaac had goosebumps and felt an intense gazeing from the yer behind him.


    Soon, a chilly look appeared on Isaac''s face.


    ''''Alright, let''s enter!'''' King Jonathan shouted, and all the lines started walking simultaneously.


    Once they entered the pathway, a notification popped up in front of everyone.


    [Wee to Duo Dungeon Stronglord!]

 Chapter 91 - Eye.

    The walls of the pathway had some kind of slimy substances flowing from the cracks, which colored the walls in brownish colors.


    Isaac noticed that thenterns, which illuminated the pathway in light, were quite strange. Once the slimy substances touched the fire on thenterns, instead of subduing the fire, it made the fire stronger and made it burn much longer.


    He also noticed that the blue crystals, which were used as a light in other caves, were nowhere to be seen. He had seennterns being used as the source of light before, but for some reason, the blue crystals were more popr ones.


    Especially in the noble households. The blue crystals are used as the source of light, while thenterns are used mostly in the dark forests as some kind of shlight.


    Isaac thought that it was quite fascinating, and he decided to study more about the usages of the blue crystals.


    While in deep in his thoughts. The yers arrived at the entrances of the five paths.


    Everyone stopped and looked at the symbols on the top of the paths with a frown.


    They couldn''t see the symbols before because the pathway was dimly lit, and even in front of the paths, they could barely see the cravings.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes and looked at the symbols of every path.


    The first path had a symbol of a man who was facing sideways. There were two arrows pointing at the ear, while the face of a man looked confused.


    The second path had also a symbol of a man, but this time the face was looking straight at them with two arrows pointing at the mouth.


    The third path had a symbol of a woman with two arrows pointing at the nose, and her face had obvious signs of being annoyed.


    The fourth path had a symbol of a woman with two arrows pointing at her eyes, and the pupils of the eyes were white.


    The fifth path had a symbol of a man in a wheelchair. His face looked like it was in pain while two arrows were pointing at his two legs.


    ''''What do you think this means?'''' Darth turned his body halfway and asked from Isaac.


    Isaac didn''t answer¡ª instead, he kept looking at the spots where the arrows were pointing.


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana were discussing with each other. Since they entered the pathway, everyone became rivals.


    No one is nning to help other Duo''s.


    Many of them think that this is the first test of the Dungeon and a single mistake will cost them dearly.


    Isaac looked at the fourth path and tried to see how far it went. His Precision Stat did its magic, and he actually saw the end of the path!


    At the end of the path, he saw a small room with arge eye symbol on the wall, and there were hundreds of holes on the walls.


    The holes were quite small butrge enough to fit a small rock. Isaac tried to look at the room more closely and saw the floor of the room having hundreds of tiles, and each one of them had different eye colors.


    There were also tiles with the same eye color.


    Darth scratched his head while looking at the symbols. He had a headache forming after trying to use his brain to its full capacity, but he couldn''t find any clues.


    But then, he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder.


    *Tap*


    *Tap*


    He turned his head to see Isaac''s beautiful grey eyes gazing at him.


    ''''Let''s enter the path.'''' Isaac suddenly said.


    ''''Are you sure?'''' Darth asked and took a nces towards other yers and saw them being deep in thought.


    ''''I am sure,'''' Isaac said with a confident expression and took a quick nce at the yers with Thief ss behind him. They were looking at the symbols with a frown, and it seemed like they were having even more difficulties than Darth.


    Darth nodded and under the surprised gazes of everyone. He and Isaac entered the fourth path, leaving a stunned crowd of yers behind.


    The Thief''s looked stunned as well, and they debated whether they should follow behind, but then the yer who was standing right behind Isaac entered the path as well.


    He greedily looked at Isaac''s gun, and it was a surprise that he didn''t start salivating.


    ''''Rolex, where are you going?'''' His friends asked with strange looks.


    Rolex, the yer who entered the path, rolled his eyes and started writing a message for them.


    [Rolex: We can see how they will do the test and copy them!]


    His friends saw the message, and they nodded with understanding.


    They entered the path as well, and one of them whispered towards Rolex.


    ''''What if they fail?''''


    Rolex snorted, ''''Then we get their dropped items and know what we shouldn''t do.''''


    His friends nodded with admiration.


    Brilliant n!


    Darth heard the footsteps behind them. He curiously looked behind him and was surprised to see a group of yers following them.


    ''''I didn''t expect anyone to enter so soon.'''' He said with a surprised tone.


    Isaac didn''t say anything. His focus was on the walls of the pathway.


    This time, the walls were rock solid, with thenterns coloring the pathway in yellowish colors.


    He could barely see the carvings on the walls, and each one of the cravings was an eye with white pupils.


    Soon, the bright lighting from the small room became much more noticeable.


    They stopped at the end of the pathway, and only a meter in front of them was the tiles with an eye symbol.


    The first tile in front of them had an eye with a white pupil.


    ''''What is the n?'''' Darth asked and looked behind him. He saw the yers who followed after them, stopped walking 10 meters away from them.


    ''I see... They want to see how we do it... Or how we fail so they won''t make same mistakes.'' Darth resisted snorting. Even though it is a cunning n, there is nothing he can do about it.


    ''''Let me try something... I think I know how this works.'''' Isaac said with a firm look.


    Darth nodded and stepped to the side. He took his bow in his hand and took two arrows from his quiver and put them on the bowstring.


    He is ready to save Isaac at a moment''s notice if something happens.


    Isaac took a deep breath and felt his heart racing. He looked at the first tile with a white pupil and took a decisive step forwards.


    Both of his legsnded on the tile, and instantly the bright room started glowing even brighter, which caused everyone to turn their heads away.


    But, Isaac''s grey eyes started transforming, and soon they were pure white!


    ''''Wraith, are you alright?!'''' Darth asked anxiously after the bright light disappeared.


    ''''U-Umm...'''' Isaac looked around him in confusion, ''''Darth, did the light suddenly go off?''''


    Darth frowned, ''''What are you talking about?''''


    ''''Is it dark or not?'''' Isaac asked one more time, with sweat trickling down his beautiful face.


    ''''No,'''' Darth said and felt like something was wrong.


    Isaac''s face went pale, ''''D-Darth.... I-I think I became blind!''''

 Chapter 92 - First Test.

    Darth''s eyes widened in shock, ''''Are you joking?!''''


    Isaac rubbed his eyes and opened them one more time, but the only thing he saw was pitch darkness.


    Darth took a step forwards and was about to walk next to Isaac, but then a loud shout came.


    ''''Don''t move!'''' The voice caused Darth to flinch and stop his movement.


    That shout came from Isaac, who heard Darth''s footsteps clearly like it wasing right next to him.


    ''''What''s wrong?'''' Darth asked curiously, while his leg was only an inch away from touching a tile with an eye with a red pupil.


    He pulled his leg back and stopped moving.


    Isaac started remembering everything he had seen so far, and the only thing that came to mind was the eye with white pupils.


    ''''Is there more eyes with white pupils?'''' Isaac asked from Darth.


    Darth looked around the floor, and he saw at least a dozen of them!


    ''''There are quite many!'''' He replied with a shout, which caused Isaac to cover his ears in pain.


    ''''I am blind, not deaf!'''' Isaac screamed, which caused Darth to scratch his head with embarrassment.


    Isaac touched his ears tenderly and felt like his ears were super sensitive. He could even hear the soft breathing of Darth''s and distinct noises of the yers, who were still in front of the five paths.


    ''''Speak more quietly this time.''''


    ''''Alright.'''' Darth said softly and asked, ''''What is the n?''''


    ''''Tell me where the eyes with white pupils are located.''''


    ''''Okay.'''' Darth looked towards the floor and said, ''''The nearest one is next to you, on the left side.''''


    Isaac took a small step towards the left and waited with an anxious heartbeat, but nothing happened.


    He thought he heard a quiet sound of bullets being put into chambers and the sound of something burning.


    ''''Continue,'''' Isaac said softly.


    ''''Two steps in front of you.''''


    Isaac raised his leg and started stretching it forwards, ''''Tell me when the leg is above the tile with an eye.''''


    Darth watched as Isaac''s leg was slowly moving forwards, and soon it crossed the first tile and appeared on top of the second.


    ''''Now.'''' He said softly, and Isaac heard it greatly.


    *Tap*


    Isaac put down his feet and gulped with nervousness, but nothing happened. He carefully moved his other leg to the same tile and finally rxed his muscles after a nerve-wracking experience.


    *Creak*


    Darth snapped his head towards the sound and saw the massive eye opening and another path appearing!


    ''''What happened?!'''' Isaac anxiously asked and thought he had made a mistake.


    ''''A path!'''' Darth said with excitement, but then he remembered to keep his voice quiet.


    Isaac rubbed his ears and nodded, ''''Continue.''''


    It went for another 10 minutes. Isaac felt like it was the longest 10 minutes in his life, but finally, hended on the tile, which was right in front of the path.


    ''''You are in front of the path now,'''' Darth said and felt like his heart was about to explode.


    ''''Is there anything in the path?'''' Isaac asked. He wanted to be sure and not make any mistakes.


    Darth instantly answered, ''''No, there is nothing.''''


    Isaac nodded and took a decisive step forwards.


    *Clink!*


    Another bright light appeared, but this time from the path.


    ''''Arghh!'''' Darth and the group of yers closed their eyes in agony.


    Isaac suddenly saw the light appearing and the darkness disappearing.


    He blinked a couple of times, and a massive smile appeared on his face.


    He could see the path clearly in front of them. He never thought that he would miss his eyesight so badly.


    ''''Darth, my eyesight is back!'''' Isaac shouted and turned around to see Darth and the yers behind him look confused.


    ''''Wraith, did the lights go off?'''' Darth asked.


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac shouted, ''''I couldn''t hear you!''''


    ''''Did the lights go off!'''' Darth shouted onest time.


    A wry smile appeared on Isaac''s face, ''''No!''''


    ''''Fuck!'''' Darth screamed.


    ''''I will help you go through this! Take two steps forwards!'''' Isaac''s shouted while using his tiny lungs to usher all the strength to increase the volume of his voice.


    Darth did as he was being told and took two steps.


    His two feetnded on the tile with white pupils.


    The group of yers behind them looked pale white. When they tried to walk, they crashed with their friends.


    ''''Stop moving!'''' Rolex screamed, ''''Morons!''''


    Isaac looked at the scene with an amused smile, and after dozen minutes, Darth also arrived on the path.


    His vision soon got restored, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.


    ''''Let''s go!'''' He high-fived with Isaac, and both of them had relieved smiles on their attractive faces.


    The first test was sessfullypleted!


    ''''U-Umm, guys. Can you guys guide us as well?'''' Rolex humbly asked with his head lowered, while his friends behind him felt slightly embarrassed.


    Darth and Isaac looked at each other and shrugged.


    ''''No.'''' Both of them said simultaneously and started walking in the path, leading to who knows where.


    Rolex had veins popping up in his forehead as his face morphed into anger, ''''Bastards! I will remember you two! You hear me?! I will find you two and fucking rob everything you two have!''''


    Isaac and Darth only heard distinct screaming noises.


    ''''I am getting quite scared for the next test.'''' Darth had chillsing up on his back.


    ''''I am sure we will be fine.'''' Isaac said with a calm smile, ''''Now we can somewhat predict what the next clues are saying.''''


    Darth nodded, ''''We should have chosen the one with nose.''''


    Isaac chuckled, ''''I am not sure would it be any easier.''''


    Darth shrugged.


    They kept walking for another dozen minutes, and soon their faces were morphed into annoyance.


    In the distance, they saw five paths again!


    ''''Damn...'''' Darth scratched his head, ''''Should have guessed this would be happening.''''


    They arrived in front of the five paths, and they noticed that there was only one path leading here.


    ''''Others have different choices?'''' Darth asked curiously.


    ''''Probably,'''' Isaac said and looked at the five paths, and all of them had symbols, but this time slightly different.


    The first path had a figure of a man who seemed to search for something.


    The second path had a figure of a woman who was using her hands as a telescope.


    The third path had a figure of a child who was hiding underneath a table, while another child walked past the table and was trying to find someone or something.


    The fourth path had a figure of a woman with obscure facial features. She was carrying a bow and was aiming towards therge object in the sky, which resembled of a moon.


    The fifth path had a figure of a man who was throwing a ball-like item.

 Chapter 93 - Difficult Choice.

    ''''Hmm...'''' Darth tapped his chin in a rhythmic manner.


    Isaac scratched his cheek with pursed lips.


    They were standing in front of the five paths, with five different symbols gazing on them.


    ''''I think... Fourth would be a safe choice, right?'''' Darth said with a shrug.


    ''''I think it''s far from safe,'''' Isaac said with a wry smile.


    ''''It has an Archer... I am an Archer; it might be something Archer rted.'''' Darth said with some uncertainty.


    ''''What if you have to shoot the moon down.'''' Isaac pointed at the symbol, and finally, Darth saw the Archer pointing the bow towards therge sphere in the sky.


    ''''T-That''s...'''' Darth sighed and scratched his head with frustration. They have been trying to decide which path to choose for 10 minutes already.


    He was feeling impatient because others had probably caught up already or even passed them!


    But, his nerves calmed down after seeing Isaac''s calm expression.


    ''''I think the first path is to search for something.'''' Isaac said with some uncertainty, his tone alone told his unconfidence, ''''I think that is quite difficult.''''


    Darth nodded and looked towards the second path, ''''The second one is... No fucking clue.'''' He sighed with frustration and struck the wall next to him.


    ''''Calm down,'''' Isaac said with a calm tone that instantly made Darth feel more rxed.


    ''''The second path is probably a spotting test.'''' Isaac guessed.


    ''''Spotting?'''' Darth tilted his head.


    ''''Maybe we need to like to find where a nest of a bird is in the middle of a forest, like that kind of test.''''


    ''''That sounds difficult and annoying,'''' Darth said with a grim face.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Yeah, let''s not choose that one.''''


    Their gazes got locked at the third symbol.


    ''''Hide and seek?'''' Darth instantly guessed.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Most likely, that seems... Not too hard.''''


    Darth then pointed at the fifth symbol that showed a man throwing a ball-like item.


    ''''Doesn''t that resemble baseball, which is a quite popr sport in Summend?'''' Darth said. He and his parents are huge fans of different sports, and he has seen quite many baseball matches.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac shrugged, ''''It can mean anything honestly, and I am not feeling very confident about it.''''


    ''''So...'''' Darth looked at the third path and said, ''''Third it is?''''


    Isaac shook his head and said with a frustrated tone, ''''No... This decision will be important; let''s think longer.''''


    ''''Everyone is getting ahead of us.'''' Darth reminded.


    ''''Impatience is the biggest w in greediness.''''Isaac nced at the dark paths and continued, ''''I think 90% of yers will be eliminated because they couldn''t wait and was too impatient to continue.''''


    ''''Then should we split up?'''' Darth suggested, ''''If even one will survive till the end of the Duo Dungeon, both will get same rewards, and the Death Penalty will be removed.''''


    ''''It''s risky... What if it is a test like the previous one? This is called Duo Dungeon, after all.''''


    Their talk once again returned to the start. Neither of them could decide where to go.


    Darth felt his heart racing as he thought about other yers already entering the second test, or maybe some of them had alreadypleted it!


    Isaac looked calm, but he was quite nervous as well. This decision is vital andpletely different from the first decision.


    The first decision was a gamble, and he wasn''t sure did they choose well or not, but now they knew what kind of tests there might be ahead of them.


    If they rush things and choose randomly. If they end up failing, they can only me themselves, but if they think too long and end up not getting the First Clear, the me will lie on them not being able to make decisions quick enough.


    Darth''s hands trembled as he looked at the fourth path. He would just want to continue, but he knows the seriousness of this decision as well.


    Finally, Isaac opened his mouth, ''''Let''s go to the fourth path.''''


    Darth snapped his head towards Isaac with a surprised gaze, ''''Are you sure?''''


    Isaac kept snapping his fingers, which caused calm and rhythmical sounds to echo in the pathways.


    ''''I think first, second and third paths are traps.'''' He said with a frown, ''''Each one of those paths has one theme inmon... Searching.''''


    Darth nodded and looked at the fourth and fifth paths.


    ''''What is different about these two? What if they are traps instead?''''


    Isaac shook his head and sighed with resignation, ''''I don''t know... I can only guess that there are two right paths because game developers wanted the Duo''s to start arguing which path to take, but that is only a guess... If I had more time, then I could find it out, but we don''t have time.''''


    Darth nodded and then asked onest time, ''''Why fourth and not fifth?''''


    Isaac looked at the fifth path''s symbol and started slowly walking towards the fourth path, ''''If fifth has something throwing rted... I am afraid that I won''t do well on it.''''


    Darth looked curious and followed behind Isaac at the entrance of the fourth path.


    A cold wind tickled their faces as they stood in front of the path with edgy looks. The pathway waspletely dark, which made it impossible for Isaac to see anything.


    Isaac took a nce at the symbol onest time, and he hoped that this choice wasn''t the wrong one.


    Darth patted his shoulder and said, ''''If we fail, I won''t me you.''''


    Isaac sighed. Those words didn''t make him feel any better; instead, he became more nervous.


    ''''No regrets, I guess,'''' Isaac said and took a decisive step forwards.


    Darth followed him, and soon both of their bodies were inside the pathway, embraced by the limitless darkness.


    Soon, a rumbling sound came behind them, and the entrance of the pathway was blocked by arge earth wall.


    Darth touched the wall and felt his hand bing numb and stiff.


    ''''Cold!'''' He cried out and instantly pulled his hand back.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes, and he thought he saw a lighting from the end of the pathway.


    ''''What is that....'''' Isaac murmured, but soon his face turned into shock!

 Chapter 94 - Childhood Dream.

    Isaac clumsily tapped Darth''s shoulder while his gaze was still locked at the scene in front of him.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Darth turned his head and looked at Isaac with a questioning look, ''''What is it?''''


    ''''Look!'''' Isaac cried out, which caused Darth to turn his head towards the end of the pathway.


    His questioning looks quickly turned into a shock, ''''What?!''''


    The scene in front of them caused both of them to be speechless.


    ''''I-Is this where I think we are?'''' Darth asked with a pale face, but soon a slimmer of excitement appeared in his eyes.


    Isaac rubbed his forehead with disbelief, ''''This is... Insane.''''


    ''''S-Shall we go?'''' Darth asked with impatience, ''''This will be so sick!''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Let''s go.''''


    Both of them started slowly jogging forwards, and during that, their breathing started bing rougher. When they were breathing, it was like something was stuck on their throats, but that didn''t stop them.


    At the end of the pathway, their bodies suddenly started moving by themselves, and it was like their bodies were pulled with gravity.


    ''''Whooo!'''' Darth exited the pathway with an excited and terrified look.


    Isaac followed quickly behind, and he could barely move his limbs as the gravity kept pulling them towards their destination.


    His face showed a shimmer of excitement. This was the reason he started ying White Online.


    To see ces he has never seen before!


    The farthest he has traveled was 100km from his home, and that was for the nearby city as well.


    Being a protected and sheltered individual, he couldn''t go anywhere without his family.


    White Online was like godsent, which let him adventure in ces he had never thought of visiting before.


    But... Isaac has always dreamed of traveling here once in his lifetime, but it felt like a distinct dream, which is impossible to achieve.


    He isn''t the only one who had this dream once in their lifetime. It has also been Darth''s childhood dream, but he has given up a long time ago.


    Isaac closed his eyes as he felt some kind of forcefield covering his body, and the difficulties of breathing disappeared.


    ''''Haaah...'''' He took a long and deep breath while floating towards their destination.


    Darth was the first one tond on rocky ground with a greyish hue. He tried to stand up, but it was quite difficult at first.


    Isaac''s feet soonnded on the rocky ground, but he couldn''t stay on the ground for long. He started bouncing for a few more meters until his body''s momentum was cut off.


    ''''Whew.'''' Isaac took a breath of relief and felt his legs slightly shaking.


    Darth clumsily tried to walk, but instead, he kept hopping forwards.


    Isaac slowly moved his head and saw a scene with mesmerizing beauty.


    Arge sphere was floating in the middle of space. At first, it looked like it wasn''t that far away from them, but the distance is so far that it would take them a lifetime to walk that distance.


    The sphere had four obviousndmasses with four different colors. The most obvious color is blue, which was the most used color in that sphere.


    The fourndmasses were in white, orange, green, and red colors, while the blue color surrounded the fourndmasses.


    ''''Isn''t that...'''' Darth looked with a face of shock.


    Isaac nodded, ''''It is our home...''''


    The sphere in the distance was the world of Four Seasons!


    And... Isaac and Darth were currently standing on top of the moon!


    Their surroundings were nothing but greyish rock. It was the only thing they saw, no matter where they looked, but it was still one of the most mesmerizing things they had ever seen.


    ''''It''s incredible that Arthur managed to make the moon so real!'''' Darth said with excitement, ''''I wonder if there is a way to enter our world, but the fake version with our Avatars?''''


    Isaac shrugged, ''''I don''t know, but I think creating a perfect replica of our world is impossible.''''


    ''''True.'''' Darth nodded and used the moon''s gravity to jump ten meters in the air, ''''I wonder what is the test?''''


    Isaac then finally remembered that they had to do the test.


    ''''Let''s go find out!'''' Isaac shouted and started hopping towards the distance, while Darth quickly followed behind.


    Somewhere in the distance.


    A figure was standing while looking at the two figures hopping around. She had long ck hair with a veil covering her pale white face. She was wearing long blue robes, which covered every part of her body, but it gave her ethereal-looking beauty, which is impossible to see in humans.


    ''''Hmm, yers...'''' Her voice was like a perfect melody, which would cause everyone to close their eyes out of satisfaction after hearing it even once.


    She grabbed her sleeve and pulled something from there. It was a small silver mirror with a golden lining.


    ''''Arthur.'''' She said simply with her beautiful voice, and soon a face of a man appeared in the mirror.


    He was a handsome middle-aged man with dark ck hair. There were also signs of obvious fatigue and tiredness in his facial features.


    ''''Selene, how may I be of assistance?'''' Arthur said with a handsome smile on his face.


    ''''There are two yers...'''' She said and pointed the mirror towards the two figures.


    Arthur''s face soon turned into a surprise, ''''They actually chose that path? How intriguing.''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Selene turned the mirror again so she could see Arthur''s face, ''''What do you mean?''''


    Arthur chuckled and waved his hand, ''''Ah... It''s nothing. Selena, can you be of some assistance and guide them to the checkpoint.''''


    Selena''s face showed some signs of surprise, ''''Are you sure? The Moon was supposed to be off-limits; it is not a ce where yers can survive... At least for now.''''


    Arthur tapped his chin, and a small smile appeared on his attractive face, ''''Ah, forget about my precious words.''''


    Selena sighed with relief, ''''So, I will show them the exit?''''


    Arthur chuckled and shook his head, ''''No... Instead, show them the way to the Moon City!''''


    Selena''s face underneath the veil turned into shock!

 Chapter 95 - Moon City.

    Isaac and Darth were standing on top of a small rocky hill. The scenery was nothing but rocky terrain, but they also saw a majestic sight of the world of Four Seasons floating in the distance.


    Even though the scenery on the moon is quite crude, it was still the greatest view they had ever seen.


    ''''My sister will be so jealous,'''' Darth said with a grinning face.


    Isaac looked surprised, ''''You have a sister?''''


    Darth shrugged, ''''Little sister, she is 8 years old, and she has always loved to gaze at the moon.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''I have four siblings.''''


    Darth nodded and was about to ask a question, but then he thought he saw something.


    ''''Hmm?'''' He rubbed his eyes and narrowed his eyes.


    Isaac turned his head and frowned.


    ''''Are you seeing this?'''' Darth asked with a somewhat suspicious gaze.


    Isaac nodded, ''''I am.''''


    In the distance, they saw a hole forming on the rocky ground. The hole was leading downwards like stairs were made just for them.


    ''''Is that the test?'''' Darth asked and started getting excited. The initial excitement of fulfilling his childhood dream was fading off, and they started remembering the reason they were here.


    ''''Let''s go,'''' Isaac said and started hopping towards their assumed test destination.


    Darth quickly followed behind him.


    In the distance, Selena was looking with her beautiful blue eyes.


    ''I wonder why Arthur wants them to enter the Moon City...'' Selena thought to herself. Her body started bing illusionary, and started floating after Isaac and Darth.


    Sometimeter, Isaac and Darth finally entered the entrance of the hole.


    They thought it would be an annoying way to the down, but there were stairs leading to the underground!


    They started getting more sure that the test was in the underground.


    Without further ado, they started hopping down the stairs


    Their journeysted surprisingly only 10 minutes. After reaching the bottom of the stairs, they saw arge cave in front of them with crystals stuck on the wall.


    Instead of blue crystals... The crystals were pure white like made of snow!


    Isaac and Darth had first difficulties looking in front of them because of the bright light, but soon their eyes got used to it.


    In the distance, they saw metal gates in greyish color, and there was one symbol on the gates.


    A symbol is s figure of a woman with obscure facial features. She was carrying a bow and was aiming towards therge object in the sky, which resembled of a moon.


    Darth was about to start hopping towards the gates, but suddenly he noticed that the gravity was different on the underground and he could walk normally!


    ''''Weird,'''' Darth said and looked at Isaac, who also seemed fascinated.


    They walked at a slow but steady pace to the metal gates.


    ''''Is opening the gates the first test?'''' Darth guessed, ''''Maybe we need to find a key or something.''''


    ''''Maybe,'''' Isaac said, but their questions were answered pretty quickly.


    *Creak*


    The metal gates started slowly opening, which caused an ear-piercing sound to ring in their ears.


    ''''Argh!'''' Both of them covered their ears in pain, but they still heard the piercing sound, which almost made their eardrums explode.


    After a minute of pain, the metal gates werepletely opened.


    ''''Damn!'''' Darth screamed and looked at his palm, which showed a drop of blue blood.


    Isaac rubbed his sensitive ears.


    Finally, after recovering their concentration, they looked at what was behind the metal gates.


    They only saw a small room with nothing inside, but there was a wooden door leading somewhere.


    They entered the room and slowly approached the door.


    Isaac put his frail hand on the door handle and slowly opened the door.


    The first thing they saw was a luxurious pce with hundreds of NPC''s running around busily.


    There were hundreds of desks, and each one of them had lines. Behind the desks, a professional-looking NPC was talking with the NPC''s in the line.


    Isaac and Darth dumbly looked at the scene. They entered the luxurious room, and instantly the metal gates behind them closed.


    Few NPC''s nced at them but soon started minding their own businesses.


    ''''What should we do?'''' Darth whispered.


    Isaac looked at the lines and said, ''''Let''s go stand in the line, maybe the NPC working here could tell what our next test is.''''


    Darth nodded and followed behind him. They entered the shortest line and started waiting with patience.


    Their outfits were greatly different from NPC''s clothing. Everyone else was wearing luxurious clothing, while Darth was wearing his Guild robes, which didn''t look anything fancy.


    Isaac was wearing his Chain Armor, which didn''t really fit with his beautiful face.


    The NPC''s looked at them curiously.


    Darth felt slightly ufortable, and so did Isaac.


    But soon, their turn came.


    Isaac sat down on a chair while Darth stood next to him. A man with a professional smile was sitting on the other side of the desk.


    ''''Greeting, how may I be of assistance?'''' He asked with a smile.


    ''''Hello,'''' Isaac replied and pondered what should his first question be.


    But Darth was the first one to ask, ''''Can you tell us where are we?''''


    The man nodded and said with a calm tone, ''''You two are in Outer Layer of Moon City.''''


    ''''Moon City?'''' Darth frowned, while Isaac felt amazed.


    ''''Do you know anything about a test?'''' Isaac asked.


    The man''s professional smile slightly crumbled as slight shock appeared in his eyes, but he soon calmed his nerves and continued smiling.


    He took a stack of papers from the cab and put them on the desk.


    ''''Where are you from?'''' He asked and started going through papers.


    ''''Stronglord,'''' Isaac replied.


    The man nodded and took one of the papers from the stack. He turned the first page and started calmly reading it through.


    He trailed his finger alongside the words with concentrated expression, and soon he found what he was looking for.


    ''''Second Test of Duo Dungeon Stronglord is located on Moon''s Range.'''' He said with a calm smile and put the paper back on the stack.


    Darth nodded and asked, ''''Where is that?''''


    ''''Look at your maps; it will show there.'''' The man said with a patient tone.


    ''''Thanks,'''' Isaac said and left the line so they won''t hold up the line for too long.


    Both of them put their Interface''s in front of them and clicked [Map]


    They couldn''t see the full map of the Moon City, instead only the way to the Moon''s Range.


    There was a small red dot beeping, which told their next destination.

 Chapter 96 - Moon’s Range.

    Isaac and Darth left the luxurious ce and entered the streets of Moon City.


    They turned to look at the luxurious ce and saw that the building was notrger than an ordinary two-floor building, but the interior of the building was easily as big as a castle!


    ''''Fascinating...'''' Isaac muttered, ''How is it possible... Or is it something Arthur added...''


    Most of the buildings in Moon City weren''t thatrge, but the interior of every single house was extremelyrge!


    Darth looked at the distance and gasped in a marvel. He expected to see a ceiling made of rocks because they are underground, but instead, he was seeing a starry sky!


    Also, in the distance, he saw massive walls reaching all the way to the starry sky; it was even touching it, which made everyone confident that it was not an ordinary sky.


    ''''I wonder what is on the opposite side of the walls.'''' Isaac thought aloud, but then he remembered the NPC''s words.


    ''''Ah right... We are in Outer Layer, so that must be where Inner Layer is located.''''


    ''''Like in Stronglord?'''' Darth asked.


    Isaac shrugged, ''''Maybe, but I wonder who is living in the Inner Layer. Their status must be high.''''


    He shook his head to get these useless thoughts out of his mind. They have a test to bepleted.


    They started walking towards the Moon''s Range with the help of their maps.


    But, during the time, they gathered even more attention than in the luxurious ce.


    Their outfits are rarely seen in the Moon City, after all.


    The NPC''s didn''t bother them; instead, they just watched closely, but they also felt very curious why the beautiful boy was carrying a heavy-looking gun on his back.


    Soon, under the intense gazes of nearby NPC''s, they arrived in a courtyard with a metal fence. They looked at the map and saw that this was their destination.


    On top of the metal gate, a words [Moon''s Range] was seen.


    Darth touched the metal gates and pushed them open. They slowly entered the courtyard and heard a banging noiseing from another side of the wall.


    *BANG*


    Isaac recognized the sound. There was a wall made of stone on the other side of the courtyard. There was also a wooden door, which leads to the other side of the wall.


    The courtyard''s ground was surprisingly made of grass, but then they also noticed a house not far from them.


    ''''I feel like this is someone''s home... Are we trespassing?'''' Darth asked with a wry smile.


    Isaac scratched his head and pondered what should they do.


    But then, the door of the house was opened, and a lovely woman in her 30s appeared. She looked at the two individuals with initial surprise, but soon a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face.


    ''''Are you two here for Moon''s Range?'''' She asked with her gentle voice.


    ''''Yes.'''' Darth and Isaac replied in unison.


    The woman covered her mouth in surprise while looking at Isaac, ''''I apologize, I thought you were ady at first.''''


    Isaac scratched the back of his head with frustration.


    Darth wryly smiled.


    ''''I apologize for my rudeness.'''' She bowed with an apologetic tone, ''''My name is Mona.''''


    ''''I am Darth, and this is Wraith.'''' Darth introduced both of them.


    ''''Quite unique names.'''' Mona giggled and looked at Isaac, ''''You definitely don''t look like a Wraith.''''


    She pped her hands and looked at the table with four seats, ''''Do you want a tea?''''


    ''''Thanks.'''' Darth bowed and walked towards the table while Isaac followed behind him.


    They sat down and watched as Mona gently poured the tea on their cups.


    ''''My husband wille here shortly.'''' She said and sat down. She took a sip of the tea with satisfied expressions.


    Isaac looked at the liquid inside the tea and was surprised to see it being in the color of grey.


    He curiously took a sip and felt his body feeling more energetic almost instantly.


    The liquid traveled through his throat, and every second was pleasurable.


    Darth was also feeling amazing.


    *BOOM*


    The courtyard shook as a figure crashed through the wooden door.


    Mona giggled and shook her head.


    A muscr man walked through the destroyed door and looked at the figure who was lying on the ground, ''''You bastard, you suck!''''


    ''''I-It was my first time t-trying a gun.'''' The figure said with a trembling tone as he looked at the muscr man with terror.


    The muscr man snorted, and his muscles bulged, ''''So what? I have never seen someone so ipetent in my life! Get out and don''te back!''''


    ''''B-But, I-I need to learn it, give me another chance!'''' The figure started begging while kowtowing.


    ''''Honey.'''' Mona''s calm voice rang in the courtyard.


    The muscr man''s anger disappeared, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, ''''Yes, beautiful?''''


    Mona giggled and shook her head, ''''Give him another chance, you know how important the Coming of Age Ceremony is.''''


    The muscr man sighed and nodded. He looked at the figure and growled, ''''Get out,e back tomorrow at 8 A.M, and you better know how to fucking reload by then!''''


    ''''Y-Yes, thank you!'''' The young man kowtowed two more times and ran out of the courtyard.


    ''''Tsk.'''' The muscr man clicked his tongue, and then he finally saw two unfamiliar figures sitting at a table, ''''Who are they?''''


    ''''This is Darth and Wraith. They are here for Moon''s Range,'''' Mona said gently.


    Darth and Isaac nodded.


    ''''My name is Iah. Why are you here for Moon''s Range?'''' Iah asked with his powerful tone.


    ''''We are here for the...'''' Isaac didn''t know how to say it properly, so he just said the first thing that came to mind, ''''Test.''''


    Mona and Iah looked surprised until smiles appeared on their faces.


    ''''Alright then,'''' Iah said and saw the gun, which Isaac was carrying.


    He nodded with approval and also saw the way Darth was holding his bow, which told about his experience.


    ''They seempetent.... Maybe they will be able to pass the test made by Goddess Artemis.''

 Chapter 97 - Test Of Fear.

    Iah sat down on the fourth seat and watched Mona pour the tea into his cup. Her movements were fluid like as if she had done it thousand times.


    ''''Thanks,'''' Iah said while taking a sip from the cup.


    Mona smiled and sat in her seat.


    Isaac and Darth were sitting silently, waiting for Iah to inform them about the next test.


    ''''Mmm¡­..'''' Iah gave a satisfying sound as he put the cup back on the table.


    Mona turned her gaze towards the two young men, and she asked, ''''Do you two have anyone you fancy?''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac and Darth tilted their heads in confusion.


    ''''She is asking if you two have a girlfriend or a crush,'''' Iah rified.


    Isaac and Darth both shook their heads simultaneously.


    ''''Come on, there must be someone.'''' Mona asked with a knowing smile, ''''You two seem to be popr with the opposite sex.''''


    Darth frowned and rubbed his forehead. He has never had a crush on someone before.


    Although many girls had confessed to him before, he had rejected them all.


    Isaac''s eyes showed his pain for a split second. Suddenly Amanda''s face surfaced in his mind until he forcefully suppressed it.


    ''''Not really,'''' Isaac replied while sipping tea.


    Mona pouted, ''''You two are no fun!''''


    ''''Apologies, she is very much into romanticism.'''' Iah sighed, ''''It wasn''t easy to woo her.''''


    Mona elbowed his waist and pursed her lips, ''''What is that supposed to mean?''''


    Iah looked at Isaac and Darth. All three of them sighed and shook their heads.


    ''''It wasn''t easy because you were too popr.'''' Iah chuckled, ''''Half of the guys in the school were aiming for you, furthermore, I wasn''t the most handsome or richest of the lot''''


    Mona giggled and poked at his cheek, ''''That''s right, but I still chose you.''''


    ''''Why?'''' Darth suddenly asked, ''''What attracted you to him?''''


    Iah also looked curious.


    Mona mysteriously smiled, ''''Universe is a mysterious ce. One day, I saw him helping an olddy with her groceries. That made me curious about him, and I decided to start talking with him.''''


    Iah scratched his head, ''''I would be very nervous talking with her. as everyone would re at me like as if they wanted to murder me in my sleep.''''


    Mona giggled and then finished her story, ''''We became best friends, and gradually I started to develop feelings for him. I confessed to him on the day of graduation.''''


    Iah nodded and smiled, ''''Many tears were shed that day.''''


    Mona giggled while fondly reminiscing the memories of their time in the College.


    Isaac and Darth were deep in thought, but then Iah stood up and said, ''''I will show the test now, You two must be in a hurry.''''


    Waking up from their stupor they nodded quickly and stood up to follow Iah.


    ''''Good luck!'''' Mona shouted while picking up the teacups. She entered the house while humming with her heavenly voice.


    Iah looked at the broken wooden door and sighed, ''''I have to fix it... Again.'''' He shook his head and went through the hole in the wall.


    Isaac and Darth followed behind him, and the first thing they saw was a spacious space.


    There was a massive forest in the distance with a grasnd stretching all the way to the horizon.


    Both of them looked shocked.


    ''''How is this possible?'''' Isaac asked.


    Iah raised an eyebrow, ''''What?''''


    ''''How is the interior sorge?'''' Isaac asked, ''''This ce should have been less than 40 meters in length, but it easily over 500 meters.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Iah looked surprised, ''''Don''t you guys have a Spatial Maniption Pearl?''''


    Isaac and Darth looked confused.


    Iah pointed at the starry sky.


    They turned their heads towards the sky and was a small pearl floating above the ce they were in.


    ''''Every building has its own Spatial Maniption Pearl, which makes the interior of the building a hundred timesrger,'''' Iah exined.


    Isaac''s and Darth''s looked at the scene with their mouths agape.


    Strolling towards the forest in the distance, Iah exined ''''I decided to make this training space a hundred timesrger, while maintaining the original size of the building,''''


    Isaac and Darth saw the shock in each other''s eyes, before quickly following Iah.


    They had thought they became numb to surprise after entering the Moon, but were still being shocked with each and every new thing they discovered.


    Soon, they reached the forest, and Iah came to a stop before a ce with arge boulder.


    The boulder had some weird hieroglyphs, which Isaac and Darth had never seen previously.


    ''''This boulder is the test location,'''' Iah said, turning around only to see Isaac and Darth''s confused faces.


    ''''This is a boulder which tests your fear,'''' Iah said in a stoic tone.


    ''''Fear?'''' Darth pondered, ''What is my fear?''


    Isaac went pale as his body started trembling, ''Fuck...''


    Iah stepped to the side and instructed, ''''Touch the boulder, and you will enter a Dream Land. Your goal is to kill your biggest fear.''''


    Darth nodded and looked at Isaac, ''''Should be easy enough, righ¡ª'''' His words were cut off as he saw Isaac''s pale face.


    ''''You alright?'''' He asked frowning.


    Isaac nodded and waved his head, ''''You go first... I will join you soon.''''


    Darth narrowed his eyes, but he nodded and walked towards the boulder.


    Stretching his hand, he touched the cold boulder with the tip of his finger. Instantly his eyes became pure white as he entered the Dream Land.


    Iah looked at Isaac and crossed his arms. He narrowed his eyes as he saw Isaac''s pale face.


    ''He must know what his biggest fear is...'' Iah grimaced. It is the worst thing if the one who is being tested is aware of his biggest fear.


    Isaac clenched his fist as he tried to stop his hand from trembling. He could almost feel his heart almost exploding out of his chest as he remembered the scene.


    That whole day was reying on his mind. His slowly started retreating from the boulder as the sound ofughter echoed in his ear.


    But then... A firm hand touched his shoulder.


    He turned his head and saw Iah looking at him with a serious look.


    ''''What are you so afraid of?'''' He asked.


    Isaac didn''t answer; instead, he closed his eyes, but that caused the memories to be even clearer.


    ''''Will you betray your friend because you can''t handle a little bit of fear?'''' Iah''s words resounded in his ears.


    Isaac''s slowly opened his eyes, and he saw Darth''s figure in the distance.


    ''''He trusts you to ovee your fear. Also... Subduing your fear is the first step to bing strong.''''


    ''''Strong...'''' Isaac clenched his fist. He took a deep breath and felt Iah''s hand pushing him towards the boulder.


    His body robotically moved towards the boulder, and once he was in front of it... He stretched his hand forward and touched the boulder with his right palm.


    His eyes slowly turned pure white as he entered the Dream Land....

 Chapter 98 - Day Of The Incident.

    Isaac''s eyes slowly opened, and a familiar yet strange scene appeared in front of him.


    Around 20 desks were put in 4 different rows, and each row had 5 desks.


    Each desk had a seat with young men and women sitting with the same school outfit.


    The outfit consisted of white pants and a jacket with a blue necktie. The girls had slightly different, instead of pants, they had skirts with long kneesocks.


    Isaac looked at his outfit, and he was wearing the same outfit. He gulped, and he remembered where he was...


    ''I am back in the school...'' He thought, and his face was bing paler.


    ''''Isaac Whitelock!'''' A loud shout came from the front of the ssroom.


    Isaac flinched and sat straight. His gaze got locked with the teacher, who was looking at him with a stern look.


    The teacher had short ck hair with a handsome face, which was morphed into slight anger. His body was quite athletic, which usually would be quite popr among youngdies.


    But every girl inside the ssroom looked at him with annoyed looks.


    ''''I am sorry, am I boring you?'''' The teacher asked with sarcastic tone.


    Isaac felt like something was stuck on his throat as he remembered the teacher.


    ''Damien...'' The teacher was Damien, the one who kept him alive until the ambnce came.


    Every student in the ssroom turned their heads towards Isaac, and most of them had their innocent faces having a hue of pink.


    ''''I am sorry, it won''t happen again,'''' Isaac replied with his tone showing how sorry he was in.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Damien felt like Isaac was somewhat different, but he soon continued his ss while Isaac was bing more sure where he was.


    ''This is the day...'' Isaac''s face was pale as a sheet, ''Today is the day of my incident...''


    He shakily turned his head towards the middle row and saw a beautiful girl with white hair innocently sitting with a small smile on her attractive face.


    She felt a gaze on her back; she slowly turned her head around and locked gazes with Isaac.


    Her cheeks got quickly dyed in pink as she smiled softly towards Isaac.


    Isaac quickly turned his head around to look outside the window.


    Amanda looked worried after seeing Isaac''s pale face, but then she felt a tap on her shoulder.


    She turned her head around and saw a young man with ck hair pointing at Damien.


    ''''You will be in trouble if he sees you not concentrating on the ss,'''' Oliver said gently.


    Amanda sighed and took another nce at Isaac, which Oliver noticed.


    Oliver''s face showed his pain, but he turned his head away and concentrated on the ss with his right hand clenched in a fist.


    Isaac looked outside the window and saw the bright blue sky. It would have been perfect weather, but it will take a very nasty turn a few hourster...


    He couldn''t care less about the ss, even though it was Damien''s ss. He was debating whether he should just run away, but then he remembered the reason he was here...


    *Ring*


    The school''s bell rang, signaling the end of the first ss.


    Isaac quickly stood up and stormed out of the ssroom.


    Amanda was about to ask if he was alright, but he was already gone. She sighed and grabbed her phone from her pocket.


    ''''Amanda, are youing?'''' Her friends gathered around her.


    Amanda bit her lip and looked at her friends, ''''Girls... I am going to do it.''''


    Her friends looked confused at first until shocked looks appeared on their faces.


    ''''N-Now?''''


    ''''Oh my god...''''


    Her third friend almost fainted, ''''T-This might be considered a sphemy...''''


    ''''sphemy or not...'''' Amanda grabbed the phone tighter, ''''I have to tell about my feelings.''''


    ''''S-So, you are really going to?'''' Her friends covered their mouths in shock.


    Amanda nodded and started typing a message, ''''That''s right, I will confess to Isaac!''''


    Her friends started screaming with excitement and surprise.


    Some distance away, Oliver dropped his pen as he heard her words.


    ''No...'' His eyes went bloodshot as his fingers dug inside his palms, ''She is mine!''


    ''''Oliver, are you alright?'''' One of his friends tapped his shoulder.


    Oliver turned his head around, and his friends looked shocked after seeing Oliver''s eyes being pure red in color.


    ''''Call others... Let''s meet on the roof.'''' He said and slowly left the ssroom with his palms bleeding.


    His friends woke up from their stupor and quickly messaged their friends.


    Isaac stormed out of the school building and walked towards the bench. He sat down while feeling a slight chilling from the cold air.


    *Ring*


    His phone vibrated, and it almost made his heart explode.


    He shakily grabbed his phone and opened it.


    [Amanda: Wanna meet up in the Temple of Confession at 11 A.M?]


    Isaac dropped his phone and covered his face. His feet were soon covered in snow as the cold wind started blowing harder.


    He wiped the teardrops that were about to be formed. He stood up and felt very tempted to simply run away from the school, but then memories of the meeting in the ck Arrow building were reying in his mind.


    He felt like if he ran away now, he would run away his entire life.


    Isaac looked at the phone in the snow and grabbed it. He took a deep breath and started typing a message.


    [Isaac: Sure]


    He closed the phone and put it back in his pocket.


    ''''Interface...'''' He murmured and was soon relieved after seeing the familiar Interface popping up.

    He pressed the [Inventory] and saw his Musket Rifle and all the bullets located there.


    He took a deep breath and grabbed his hand to stop the trembling.


    ''Time to face my fear...'' He felt cold sweat pouring on his back as his senses screamed to run and not look back.


    But, Isaac started slowly walking towards the school building under intense gazes of students in the yard.

 Chapter 99 - Truth Dawns.

    Isaac entered the ssroom and walked all the way to his seat, which is located on thest desk in the first row.


    He kept his head low during his walk and sat down in silence.


    He turned his body halfway and opened his backpack. He grabbed a blue notebook and put it gently down to the desk.


    The ssroom was half full, with most of the students hanging out with their friends.


    Few took nces at Isaac and was surprised to see him in the ssroom so soon. There was still about 10 minutes before the start of the ss starts, and usually, Isaac would be hanging out with his friends.


    Isaac grabbed a pencil and started writing on the notebook. His movements seemed fluid and precise; it was like the pencil was another limb of his body.


    After he was done writing the first page, he nced at the clock and saw 5 minutes remaining. He stood up, and under surprised gazes of everyone, he walked towards the first row.


    At the first desk, a young girl with long bangs covering most of her face was sitting. She was innocently reading a book in loneliness.


    ''''Hey, Julia.'''' Isaac appeared next to the desk and opened his mouth.


    ''''Eh?'''' Julia turned her head towards Isaac, and soon her eyes behind the bangs widened in shock.


    ''W-W-Why is he talking to me?!'' She anxiously looked around the room and saw everyone''s shocked looks, but she was looking if any of Isaac''s fangirls saw the scene.


    Isaac smiled and asked a question, ''''You were here during the break, right?''''


    Julia shakily nodded, ''''I-I haven''t gone anywhere.''''


    Isaac nodded and looked towards Amanda''s desk, which is only three seats away.


    ''''During the break... Did you hear Amanda or Oliver talk about anything?'''' He asked and sat down on the nearby seat and pulled it closer to Julia''s seat.


    Julia blushed after seeing him basically sitting right next to her, which looked very intimate.


    Few of their ssmates took their phones and took pictures with faces of disbelief.


    Julia is pretty much an outcast of the ss and has barely any friends. Now she is talking with the most popr person in the school''s history.


    ''''I-I did hear Amanda''s friends screaming quite loudly.'''' Julia said and then remembered a phone in Amanda''s hand, ''''Apparently she texted someone, which caused her friends to scream in excitement.''''


    Isaac frowned and rubbed his forehead, ''''What about Oliver?''''


    Julia swiped the bangs out of the way, which made her surprisingly adorable face visible until the bangs once again covered her face.


    ''''I only saw him storming out of the ssroom.'''' She said, but then her face became pale as she saw the students entering the ssroom.


    Amanda and her friends entered the ssroom amidstughter, but thatughter soon stopped after seeing Isaac sitting with Julia.


    Julia hid her face while Isaac was about to ask more questions, but then he felt a hand touching his shoulder.


    He turned his head, and his face became pale.


    Amanda''s soft-looking hand was touching his shoulder. She flinched after seeing Isaac''s pale-looking face.


    ''W-Why is he looking at me like that?'' She thought with a panicked expression.


    ''''I-Isaac.'''' Amanda said with a shaky voice and pulled her hand back, ''''Is everything alright?''''


    Isaac stood up and walked past them without letting a sound.


    Amanda sat down on her seat with a pale face, like a sky was crashing onto her.


    ''D-Does he feel disgusted t-that I invited him for Temple of Confessions... H-He doesn''t like me.'' She lowered her face and clutched her painful chest, and felt her heart being crushed by an invisible hand.


    *Ring*


    The school bell rang, and the ssroom started filling up quickly.


    Isaac sat down on his seat and looked towards the entrance of the ss. Soon, he saw Oliver walking inside with three of his friends.


    All of them nced towards Isaac, and he saw the cold look reflecting in their eyes.


    Especially in the eyes of Oliver. The coldness he felt could freeze anyone to death.


    Oliver didn''t even hide the lingering hate on his face, he kept ring like his life depended on it, and it only stopped once he arrived at his desk.


    Isaac clenched his fist and turned his gaze back to the notebook in front of him. The second ss was English, which luckily has a timid teacher who doesn''t dare to speak rudely towards Isaac.


    One of the reasons is his high status, and the second one is the death res he receives for talking to Isaac, which makes him have nightmares.


    Isaac kept writing in his notebook for the whole duration of the ss, and a few minutes before the ss ended, five of the pages were already filled with words and drawn images.


    He was writing every possible reason that could cause Oliver''s anger towards him, and all the signs are pointing towards jealousy and Amanda.


    He never took notice of it before, which was foolish of him, but now he was more than certain that Oliver was in love with Amanda.


    ''Did she manipte Oliver to do her biddings... Or, what could be the reason.'' Isaac closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead. The memories of his time with Amanda reyed in his memory.


    The times when they studied together in her house and the teasing looks Amanda received from her parents. He also remembered her blushing face every time he was next to her.


    ''Temple of Confessions... Oliver sitting right next to her... No way...'' His grey eyes widened in shock, and he turned his head towards Amanda, whose body was trembling slightly, and her shoulders were slumped down like she was on a threshold of bing depressed.


    Isaac sighed and covered his face, ''I see... Oliver did that because he was in love with her and she was in love with me... But... The question remains, who were the other men with ski masks, and why did they attack me... They all couldn''t possibly have a crush on Amanda; something is wrong...''


    He took a nce at Amanda and sighed. He had a massive crush on her when he was still in school, but his feelings are long gone.


    The biggest reason was the rage he felt, but after thinking about Amanda with so much hate for so long.


    He could only remember her ws and not the good parts.


    ''I need to apologize for her... Maybe we can still be friends... I hope.'' He covered his face in pain and felt the rage inside him ignite one more time.


    The root cause of all this drama is one person.


    Oliver!

 Chapter 100 - Dawn Of The Truth.

    *Ring*


    The school bell rang.


    The second ss ended...


    Isaac stood up and took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heartbeat. He nced at Amanda, who was taking sneaky nces at Isaac with teary eyes.


    He sighed and left the ssroom; he took one nce behind him and saw Oliver and his friends leaving immediately.


    But they didn''t go after him. They went in the other direction, and they seemed to be in a hurry.


    Isaac walked down the stairs and appeared in the lounge area of the school building. He went straight towards his locker and grabbed his jacket from there.


    He put it on and instantly felt the coldness disappearing.


    This jacket was one of his mother''s creations, and it was specially made for Isaac. The coat can perfectly nullify the cold and make Isaac feel more energetic.


    He put his hands on the jacket''s pocket and strolled out of the school building. Instead of going the usual route towards the yard, he turned right and walked a small path, which leads towards the Temple of the Confessions.


    The Temple of Confessions was behind the High School Building, and the wall of the building had hundreds of heart symbols with different letters.


    Each heart is a sign of sessful confession, and the letters are the pair''s initials.


    Isaac entered the Temple of Confessions and nced at the hundreds of hearts with a heavy look.


    He looked around him and looked at the Temple of Confessions with a pained face. It was the same sight he saw, only moments before his incident.


    The Temple of Confessions had a small frozenke with benches surrounding it.


    The frozenke is usually used as a skating rink, which is mainly used by couples.


    It is mainly used during Christmas and Valentine''s. The couples are always excited about it, while the single ones cry tears of blood.


    Being able to skate in the rink is usually a goal of many young men and women, but they need a partner for it.


    That''s why. Christmas and Valentine''s are days when the number of confessions has explosive growth.


    The memories willst their lifetime, and it has been Isaac''s dream to skate on the frozenke once in his lifetime, but the chances seem very low.


    ''Without Oliver... Maybe Amanda and I would have...'' Isaac shook his head. It is toote for him to think about it.


    It is in the past. He could try to date with Amanda, but it would only end up in heartbreak, and it wouldn''t be fair for Amanda when his feelings aren''t the same anymore.


    And Isaac isn''t desperate to date anyone.


    If he one day dates someone... It would be someone he loves.


    *Crunch*


    His ears perked up as he heard a familiar sound of snow getting stepped on, which caused a familiar crunching sound.


    He snapped his head towards the sound and felt his heart racing without stopping. A group of over 10 men with ski masks appeared out of nowhere.


    Their clothes were also covered in some kind of ck robes, which covered their school outfits.


    The man who was leading them cracked his knuckles, and Isaac saw the eyes hiding behind the mask. It showed the simr coldness he felt from Oliver.


    Isaac watched as the men with ski masks surrounded him. Their tall bodies made Isaac look very tiny and weak in front of their surprise.


    ''''Hey, bastard.'''' One of the ski masks said, with his voice being deeper than before. He was purposely deepening his tone, so Isaac couldn''t find out who he was.


    Whitelock family is influential, and they would find out who they were from simple clues.


    ''''Yes?'''' Isaac said with a cold voice, which surprised many.


    ''''Hmph.'''' The man with ski mask snorted and said, ''''Greetings from Amanda. She felt disgusted by your staring, so she ordered us to punish you.''''


    Isaac nodded. It was the exact words he heardst time.


    It was why he hated Amanda so much, but now that he thinks about it, it was foolish for him to believe their words.


    He also told his parents that Amanda was the one who did it, but surprisingly... They didn''t believe him.


    It was the first time that his parents didn''t believe him, and that caused another shock on him. Only Alice believed his words blindly, but one of the reasons was her hate for Amanda.


    She always felt that Isaac was about to get stolen by Amanda and that caused her to have longsting hate towards her.


    The men with ski masks felt shocked that Isaac didn''t seem to be surprised.


    Isaac turned his head towards the man who had just talked.


    ''''Oliver, was our friendship nothing but a lie?'''' He asked with a cold look.


    The men with ski masks widened their eyes in shock.


    Especially Oliver. He felt his heart racing.


    ''''No need to lie.'''' Isaac clenched his fist, ''''I know it''s you.''''


    ''''Hmph!'''' Oliver snorted and threw the ski mask off from his face. His was morphed into extreme anger.


    ''''Why?'''' Isaac asked with a pained look.


    ''''You stole Amanda from me!'''' He screamed, ''''I was her childhood friend! I was always with her, and then you showed up!'''' He clutched his chest in pain and screamed, ''''It was all about Isaac, Isaac, Isaac, for fuck sake! The world doesn''t center around you!''''


    ''''Oliver...'''' One of his friends said with a shaky tone, ''''H-He knows your identity, and it will be easy to find ours.''''


    Oliver snorted and said with a cold tone, ''''Let''s kill him! Simple!''''


    His friends gasped and felt that this became much more serious than it was supposed to be.


    Isaac then looked towards the other men with ski masks, ''''And what about you guys? What did I ever do to you guys?''''


    ''''You are an eyesore.'''' One of Oliver''s friends said and clenched his fists, ''''Having you gone would make me feel satisfied.''''


    Most of the men with ski masks nodded.


    Isaac felt pain, ''''I see...''''


    Oliver took the first step forwards and chuckled, ''''Maybe Amanda will need a shoulder to cry once you are dead.''''


    Isaac red at him coldly, and suddenly a long weapon appeared in his hand.


    ''''Eh?'''' Oliver widened his eyes in shock, but then he felt a sharp de touching his forehead while a barrel was pointing straight at his face.


    ''''H-How?'''' Everyone around them looked shocked, like their reality had turned upside down.


    ''''Even though you are not real...'''' Isaac sighed and put his finger on the trigger, ''''This does give me satisfaction.''''


    After those words... He squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG*

 Chapter 101 - Killing Fears.

    *BANG*


    ''''Hmm?'''' Amanda and her friends looked outside the window after a loud banging noise came somewhere.


    ''''What happened?'''' The students in the ssroom started murmuring with each other.


    Amanda''s friends shrugged.


    ''''Amanda, are you now going?'''' Her friends asked with slight excitement.


    Amanda sighed and nodded, ''''I will...'''' Even though she is almost certain that she will get rejected, she at least wants him to know about her feelings.


    She left the ssroom with a heavy heart and sluggish movements.


    Her friends cheered for her and thought about the chaos that ensues if Isaac starts dating Amanda.


    In the teachers'' building.


    Damien perked up his ears and raised an eyebrow after the sudden noise.


    The rest of the teachers also looked outside the window but didn''t have any idea what could have caused such loud noise.


    ''''Damien, are you going now?'''' One of the female teachers asked with a sad look.


    Damien wryly smiled and nodded, ''''It''s the anniversary of their death... I will go light up a few candles and do my prayers.''''


    The teachers nodded, and some patted his shoulder. They watched as he left with pity looks.


    In the Temple of Confessions.


    The individuals with ski masks couldn''t believe their eyes. They stumbled backward, and some even fell on their butts.


    Oliver''s body was standing tall, but... His head was missing from his body, and a big portion of the snow on the ground was the color of red...


    Soon, his body lifelessly fell down on the ground, and instantly the snow below him melted, and a small pool of blood appeared around Oliver''s corpse.


    ''''O-Oliver!'''' Oliver''s friend screamed screamed and looked at Isaac with killing intent, ''''Y-You murderer!''''


    Isaac sighed, ''''You talked about killing me only a second ago... Self-defense.''''


    ''''Self-defense my ass!'''' Oliver''s friend screamed until his voice became hoarse.


    ''''Luke, I have never liked you,'''' Isaac said with a cold tone.


    Luke ripped his ski mask off, and his face finally became visible. He had short dark hair with brown eyes and an above-average face with athletic body stature.


    ''''You will go to jail for this!'''' Luke screamed, and his brownish eyes started having a tinge of red, ''''Your family can''t save you!''''


    The rest of the individuals with ski masks also looked enraged.


    ''''You forgot one thing...'''' Isaac said with a chilly tone.


    ''''Oh, what''s that!'''' Luke screamed, and his 190cm tall body was towering over Isaac''s body.


    Isaac looked at him and smirked, ''''I am the one holding the gun.''''


    Luke''s eyes widened, but then he saw the dark barrel pointing at his face.


    ''''M-Mommy...''''


    *BANG*


    The bullet pierced through Luke''s face, which caused another bloody rain to appear once his face exploded into a bloody mist.


    ''''LUKE!'''' His friends screamed and watched as Luke''s body fell down on the ground.


    Isaac wiped his sweat and murmured, ''''Kill your fears... I have to kill my fear!'''' He pointed the gun at the nearby individual with a ski mask and squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG*


    Another body fell lifelessly on the ground.


    ''''S-STOP HIM!'''' Everyone finally woke up from their initial shock.


    They rushed towards Isaac in hopes of stopping his murderous rampage.


    Isaac knew that only two bullets remained.


    But... Musket Rifle is a multi-weapon.


    He swung the musket around him and swung it towards the nearby individual. The de stuck on the barrel of the musket rifle sliced through the individual''s throat effortlessly.


    ''''UGH!'''' The one who got his throat sliced was choking on his blood and soon fell lifelessly on the ground.


    Isaac looked at the scene with a slightly pale face, ''Why did Arthur make this so realistic...'' His thoughts were soon interrupted after he got surrounded by four different individuals.


    ''''Get rid of his gun! Then he would be easy kill!'''' One of the individuals with ski masks instructed his friends.


    They nodded and aimed their attacks towards Isaac''s arms and the gun.


    Isaac lowered his legs slightly and used his agility stats to the limit, and jumped over the encirclement!


    Everyone looked shocked after seeing Isaac jumping easily over 2 meters.


    ''''H-He is a monster!''''


    Isaded on the snowy ground and swung his Musket Rifle once again, and this time the de sliced through two bodies.


    The ones who got their bodies sliced couldn''t even scream for help. They died almost instantly, with the two halves of their bodies falling down on the ground.


    The peaceful and romantic Temple of Confessions soon became a ce of nightmares. Blood was littering on the ground, and five corpses were lying lifelessly without any signs of life in their doll-like faces.


    Isaac quickly squeezed the trigger and killed another one. He had only one bullet remaining and four individuals remaining.


    But, dly, the remaining ones made it painfully easy. They blindly attacked with panicked looks underneath their ski masks.


    Isaac used the de to kill three of them effortlessly and then squeezed the trigger onest time.


    The bullet left the barrel and flew through the target with much faster speed than Flintlock Pistol could achieve.


    Thest individual also fell lifelessly on the ground, and now Isaac was surrounded by ten corpses.


    The white snow was reced by red snow, and the wall with hundreds of hearts had blood littered all over.


    Isaac looked at the scene with the painful look, ''''Oliver... Was it really worth it...'''' He closed his eyes, and a tiny teardrop trickled down his smooth skin.


    ''''I-Isaac?'''' His eyes opened in a m.


    He turned his head towards the sound and saw Amanda standing stiffly with a horror-filled gaze.


    Isaac sighed and murmured, ''''I am sorry...''''


    ''''Isaac, w-what is this?'''' She asked with a shaky tone, and then she saw a familiar-looking body not far from her...


    Even though the corpse didn''t have head, she could still recognize it because there was a familiar-looking bracelet on the wrist.


    It was a bracelet she gave to Oliver, and it was his most prized treasure.


    ''''O-Oliver!'''' She screamed and crouched next to his body; she touched the cold corpse of Oliver with tears threatening toe from her eyes, ''''I-Isaac, w-why?''''


    Isaac turned her head away and a notification popped up in front of him.


    [You have sessfullypleted the Test of Fear!]


    [You will be teleported out of Dream Land in 5 seconds!]


    [5...]


    Isaac took another look at crying Amanda and sighed, ''''Sorry... I have to reject your confession.''''


    ''''E-Eh?'''' Amanda turned her head towards him and saw Isaac''s body bing illusionary.


    ''''I-Isaac, w-what is happening to you?!''''


    [1..]


    Isaac closed his eyes and murmured, ''''I am returning where I belong...''''


    His body disappeared from the Dream Land after sessfully killing his fears.

 Chapter 102 - Goodbye Moon City!

    Isaac''s body twitched as his hand was forcefully removed from the surface of the boulder.


    His eyes opened with a m, and he felt a cold sweat pouring on his back.


    ''''Wraith!'''' He heard an excited shout behind him.


    He slowly turned his body around and saw Darth and Iah waiting for him with slight smiles.


    ''''You did it!'''' Darth said and patted his shoulder, ''''Excellent!''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''You were sessful too, right?''''


    Darth nodded, but a conflicted look was on his face, ''''It wasn''t as easy as I thought.''''


    ''''What was your fear?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    Darth chuckled, ''''It seems that my biggest fear is insects.'''' He shuddered just from the thought.


    He got attacked by hundreds of insects, and he had to use almost all his explosive arrows to kill them.


    Isaac bit his lip, trying not tough.


    ''''Wintend doesn''t even have insects.'''' Darth sighed, ''''Why did the game decide I would fear insects when I have never seen one?''''


    Isaac shrugged.


    *p*


    Iah pped his hands and said with a smile, ''''Congrattions to you both for passing. This test was made by Goddess Artemis to test everyone''s fear. It is also one of the tests for the uing Age of Coming Ceremony, where young men and women who have reached 18 years of age will have to learn a weapon and undergo the Test of Fear.''''


    Isaac and Darth nodded with slight surprise.


    ''''Since both of you passed. You two will, of course, receive rewards.'''' Iah said.


    Isaac and Darth looked surprised, but then they saw notifications popping up.

    ''''Fear Disperse?'''' Isaac and Darth said in unison.


    Iah nodded, ''''It is a reward specially chosen by Goddess Artemis; I am sure it will be useful in the future.'''' He said mysteriously and turned around to start walking away from the forest.


    Isaac and Darth followed behind him out of the forest.


    Soon, they entered the courtyard and saw Mona already sitting there with a calm smile.


    ''''It took longer than I expected.'''' She said with a gentle smile.


    ''''How long?'''' Darth asked with a gulp.


    ''''3 hours.'''' She said and looked amused after seeing Darth''s face bing pale.


    ''''3?! We need to leave now!'''' Darth shouted with a panic.


    ''''I was about to make food.'''' Mona lowered her head in sadness.


    ''''U-Umm...'''' Darth scratched his head. He didn''t know what to do.


    He didn''t want her to be sad after being very kind towards them.


    But then, Iah patted her head and chuckled, ''''Stop teasing them.''''


    Mona pouted, and her sad look turned into cheerfulness, ''''Hehe, just joking.''''


    Darth chuckled and scratched his cheek, ''''Thanks for hospitality, but we need to leave.''''


    Mona stood up and walked towards Darth to give a small hug.


    Darth blushed slightly after receiving a warm hug.


    Mona then turned her gaze towards Isaac and hugged him with a shy smile, ''''Cutie, good luck in your endeavors!''''


    Isaac smiled slightly and was about to leave with Darth, but then he remembered one thing.


    He looked at Iah and asked, ''''Is there a portal, which leads to the World of White?''''


    Iah nodded and said, ''''Remember the building where the Gate to the Moon City is located? The portal is located in that building. Ask for the portal which leads to the World of White.''''


    Isaac nodded and left the courtyard with Darth.


    ''''Let''s run; we must be behind others,'''' Darth said urgently and started jogging on the streets.


    Isaac ran after him, and with the help of the map, they easily found the route which leads to the luxurious building.


    They once again attracted a lot of attention, and some even shouted behind them, but they didn''t hear it and soon arrived at the entrance of the building.


    Darth was the first one to enter, and Isaac was about to follow behind him, but then he felt a hand on his shoulder.


    He turned his head and saw a figure with a veil covering her face. She was carrying a bow on her back, and she looked very lovely with her petite body stature.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes and thought that he had seen her somewhere before...


    ''''Yes, may I help you?'''' Isaac asked and nced at the soft-looking hand, which was grabbing his shoulder.


    The figure stayed silent until she opened her tiny mouth slightly, ''''I have a question...''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac had to concentrate harder so he could hear her voice.


    ''''W-Why didn''t you sell the statue? It would give wealth beyond your wildest dreams.'''' She asked with a quiet tone. Her eyes underneath the veil were looking at Isaac''s beautiful face, trying to find any signs of lying.


    Isaac was about to answer, but then he felt a hand grabbing his arm. He got dragged inside the building and finally saw the person who was dragging him.


    ''''We need to hurry!'''' Darth said urgently. Not noticing the figure with a veil, like she was invisible.


    Isaac nodded and looked towards the figure with veil, ''''I didn''t want to! Simple as that!''''


    He answered without even thinking that the unknown figure asking about the statue was strange.


    The figure with a veil looked shocked for a moment. She watched the retreating back of Isaac until he and Darth werepletely gone from her sight.


    ''''Just because you didn''t want to...'''' She murmured and a slight smile appeared on her heavenly face, ''''I see...''''


    Some distance away.


    Selena looked surprised to see the figure of a veil talking with Isaac.


    ''Why is she talking with him....'' She pondered, but then she saw the figure with a veil walking away without leaving any traces behind.

 Chapter 103 - Return Of The Symbols.

    Isaac and Darth were led to the room with a portal. The room was on the second floor, and it was the most heavily guarded room by far.


    They had to prove their identity first before being able to enter that room. Apparently, the residents in Moon City aren''t allowed to go to the portal because they will get wiped out from existence just from touching it.


    Proving their identity was easy and quick.


    They had scanning devices, which let the machine tell how long that person has spent time in Moon City and if he was born there.


    The scanner showed mere 3 hours and that they weren''t a resident of Moon City, but there was also the fact that multiple cameras captured them entering the Moon City through the gate.


    A professional-looking man stopped in front of the room and whispered a few words towards the Guards, who simply nodded and opened the door.


    Isaac and Darth entered the room behind the man and saw a door on the other side of the room.


    The man stopped in front of the door with a slightly pale face. He took a silver-colored key from his pocket and put it on the keyhole.


    He twisted it and opened it wide open, and instantly took the key from the keyhole.


    Once the door was opened, a purple portal came visible with spiraling symbols on the surface.


    The man gulped while his body was only a meter away from touching it and turning into ashes. He stepped aside and politely smiled towards Isaac and Darth.


    ''''I hope your visit to Moon City was enjoyable; you are always weed toe back.''''


    Darth was the first one to enter the portal. His body disappeared from the Moon City and was sucked inside the teleportation cycle.


    Isaac looked at the portal and took a decisive step forwards, and got submerged inside the portal.


    His white hair gently fluttered alongside the sudden burst of wind, and it didn''t take long for his body to disappear as well.


    The man quickly closed the door and locked it tightly. He wiped his sweat and felt his legs going weak.


    He could still hear the swooshing sound of the portal. He is new on this job, and he has heard terrifying rumors about the portal, and seeing two young individuals entering it almost made him faint.


    There are rumors that the other side of the portal is where people like them live, but they are enved by Evil Gods.


    He made a quick praying gesture and wished, ''''May those rumors be false.'''' He turned around and left the room with quick steps.


    ...


    *SWOOSH*


    Two figures appeared out of nowhere andnded on the hard rocky ground.


    ''''Ouch.'''' Darth rubbed his painful spots and stood up with a pained look.


    Isaac used his hands to pull himself up and patted the dust off his clothes.


    Darth looked around him, wondering where they were, but then his face was morphed into annoyance.


    ''''Are you kidding me?'''' He put his hand on his waist and looked at the symbols in front of him with annoyance.


    Isaac turned his body around and sighed after seeing the symbols.


    There were only four paths in front of them, the symbols were very familiar, but it was much more detailed.


    The first path had a figure of a man who seemed to search for something. His face seemed to be morphed into confusion as he was scratching his head with frustration.


    The second path had a figure of a woman who was using her hands as a telescope. There was arge forest some distance away from her and a few birds flying in the bright sky.


    The third path had a figure of a child who was hiding underneath a table, while another child walked past the table and was trying to find someone or something. The child who was hiding had a fear-filled face and was keeping her mouth shut by using her hands.


    The fourth path had a figure of a man who was throwing a ball-like item. There was another figure, who had features of a female with concentrated expression; she was ready to catch the ball, and failure didn''t seem to be an opinion.


    ''''It seems the path we took is gone.'''' Isaac said and looked at the symbols, ''''The symbols are also more detailed.''''


    ''''We need to hurry; we wasted so much time.'''' Darth said urgently and took quick nces at the path, and pointed at the second one, ''''Let''s just take the second path; it seems to be the simplest one. Hide and seek, how hard can it be?''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Fine, let''s hurry.'''' Without thinking even a second longer, the Duo entered the second path and started running like their lives depended on it.


    While running, Darth looked at the chats to see if there were any announcements about someonepleting the Dungeon yet, but luckily there weren''t.


    It didn''t make Darth any rxed, instead became more urgent to quicklyplete the next test.


    Darth''s face was drenched in sweat, and it was bing harder for him to follow behind Isaac, who didn''t seem to get tired. He took two long breaths and made a final sprint, barely managing to keep up with him.


    When his final sprint was about to end, a dim light appeared at the end of the corridor. Darth''s sweaty face started having a small smile as he uttered the rest of his stamina to reach their destination.


    Isaac had a few sweatdrops appearing on his delicate forehead, but they managed to reach the end of the corridor before he was getting too exhausted.


    After leaving the corridor, Darth slumped down on the ground with his whole body drenched in sweat.


    He tried to catch his breathing, but his heart was racing like never before, and he felt like he had run a marathon.


    Isaac was still standing, but even he was catching his breath. He was also looking around the room, and a frown appeared on his face.


    ''''Did we go through another portal?'''' He said aloud while looking at the scene in front of him.


    A dark sky without any stars was on top of them and arge building not far from them.


    Isaac looked around him and saw him standing in a parking lot with dozen destroyed cars. He turned his head back towards the building and his brows furrowed into confusion.


    There was arge symbol on the top of the building. It was a red cross, which was only an inch away from falling down, it was barely hanging, and even one push would make it fall.


    ''''Hospital....''''

 Chapter 104 - Creepiness.

    ''''Hospital?'''' Darth raised his head and looked at therge building in front of him with a frown. Then he noticed the destroyed cars.


    ''''Where are we?'''' He asked and looked in the other direction, where a weird-looking forest was located, ''''Are we... Not in World of White anymore?''''


    ''''Hmm.'''' Isaac narrowed his eyes. He grabbed his Musket Rifle from the Inventory and aimed it towards the forest.


    ''''What are you doing?'''' Darth asked after Isaac suddenly took his gun.


    ''''Testing something,'''' Isaac said and took a calm breath. He put his finger on the trigger and gently squeezed it.


    *BANG*


    Darth already had his ears covered, which blocked most of the loud sound.


    Only a smoking barrel was left as the bullet flew through the air like a missile.


    They watched as the bullet was about to enter the forest, but then...


    *BAM*


    A hole appeared in front of the forest like a crack appeared in the air, but Isaac knew that it was nothing like that.


    ''''A fake forest?'''' Darth frowned.


    Isaac nodded and turned around, ''''We are still in World of White, but we are in a fake space, which was made to resemble our world.''''


    The hole in front of the forest showed a rocky wall behind the fake forest, which was only painted on the walls to make the space look more realistic.


    It wasn''t definitely done by a person because even the sky was painted, which caused Isaac to think.


    Did Arthur do it... Or someone else, and why?


    Darth nodded, and then he asked, ''''If this is hide and seek... Why the hospital?''''


    Isaac shrugged, ''''One way to find out.''''


    Darth looked at the windows of the hospital and felt a chill going on his spine, ''''This ce is creepy as fuck.''''


    The windows only showed darkness, and he almost felt like someone was watching him, but he shrugged it off as his imagination.


    Isaac emptied the chamber and waited for the Musket Rifle to finish reloading. Once it was done reloading, he put the bullets back on the chamber and strapped it on his back.


    He had some information about the guns, and he knew that the chambers in rifles should only have space for one bullet, but his Musket Rifle has exactly five spots for bullets.


    It was either Arthur''s own invention for the world, or it was done to make the game simpler.


    Like the Spellcaster and Healer''s ss, their spells work with voicemand, and they were one of the simplest sses to use, but of course, those sses have their own difficulties.


    Darth took a glimpse of his quiver and sighed, ''''I have only three explosion arrows left. I should have asked for the poison arrows, but apparently, they weren''t tested yet.''''


    Isaac chuckled and stretched his limbs, ''''Can they make me a few explosion bullets? I would pay.''''


    Darth cracked his knuckles and said, ''''If we get First Clear, you get for free.''''


    ''''Deal,'''' Isaac said with a chuckle and finished his preparations.


    Darth cracked his neck, and both of them started approaching the entrance of the hospital.


    The entrance was pair of broken ss doors with papers and trash littering the entrance.


    Darth quietly entered the hospital. He turned his head towards Isaac and whispered, ''''Are we hiders or seekers?''''


    Isaac shrugged and dodged the broken ss on the floor, ''''Not sure.'''' He whispered and thought it would make sense for them to be seekers.


    They have guns, after all. They have no reason to hide if they can just st the seekers into a bloody mist.


    They reached the receptionist desk, which had empty seats and brokenputers. The lights on the ceiling flickered once in a while, giving the whole hospital a creepy vibe.


    Darth kicked away the fliers and noticed something on the floor. He crouched and finally saw what it was after lights flickered one more time.


    It was a small bloodstain, which was already dried up.


    His face slightly paled, ''''Wraith, I don''t think this will be as innocent as we thought.''''


    Isaac looked at him with questioning looks and then a door, which was slightly ajar in the distance.


    He unstrapped his gun and pointed it towards the door. He started slowly approaching it, while Darth also put two arrows on the bowstring.


    Darth was still warily looking around them, so they won''t get sneak attacked.


    Isaac arrived at the door and slowly opened it, which caused a creaking noise to echo on the corridors of the hospital.


    *Creak*


    Isaac peeked inside and saw a hospital room with an empty bed and a broken window. On the floor, there were scratching marks with walls dyed in dried blood.


    He stopped peeking and returned to Darth with a serious look on his beautiful face, ''''You are right... I have a feeling that we aren''t seekers... But someone who did this is.''''


    Darth''s face became serious as well and went straight towards the receptionist desk, while Isaac followed closely behind.


    ''''Maybe there are clues,'''' Darth said and started going through the shelves and cabs.


    Isaac tried to use the brokenputers, but everything was made to bepletely unusable.


    Darth kept throwing items out of the shelves and cabs until he finally saw something that might be useful.


    He grabbed a notebook and started reading it through while trailing his fingers on the coarse paper.


    Isaac stopped trying to use theputers and grabbed one of the fliers. He started reading it, but the only thing that was mentioned was the hospital.


    He rubbed his forehead and thought these fliers might be a clue, but he couldn''t figure it out.


    Darth went through the notebook quickly, and once he entered the final page, half of the page was stained in dried blood.


    He had to crunch his face into a concentration so he could understand the words and managed to read a few reads with some difficulty.


    ''''Wraith.'''' Darth gulped and had a cold sweat pouring on his back.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac looked at him with a questioning face and then saw the bloody handprint on the notebook.


    ''''The notebook said the identity of the person who did this...'''' Darth said with a shaky tone and dropped the notebook down on the floor.


    ''''Who?'''' Isaac felt like it won''t be anything good after seeing Darth''s pale face.


    Darth gulped and uttered the words with force.


    ''''Baba Yaga.''''


    Some distance away from them.


    A shadowy figure with extremely long limbs looked at the two figures with her long tongue swaying back and forth. Suddenly a creepy smirk appeared on her face, and a nametag appeared above her tall figure.


    [Baba Yaga - Mythical Figure]


    [Level: ???]

 Chapter 105 - Baba Yaga.

    Isaac''s eyes widened in horror after hearing Darth''s words.


    ''''Y-You mean the creature who eats small children?'''' He asked with his hand approaching the Musket Rifle.


    Darth nodded and threw the notebook away. He quickly stood up and put the bow back on his back, ''''Let''s hide.''''


    Isaac shakily nodded, ''''It''s Mythical Figure... We probably can''t even scratch her, let alone kill!''''


    They left the lounge area, and while going through the corridors, they felt a chill on their spines, like some ancient beast was staring right at them.


    They reached a crossroad with three different paths to choose from, straight, left, or right.


    Darth was about to start running straight forwards, but then Isaac''s hand grabbed him from his robes.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Darth was yanked backward. He looked at Isaac with a frown, but then he saw him pointing straight at the ceiling.


    He turned his head towards the ceiling and paled. The straight and left path has symbols of a skull with red eyes, while the right path has a symbol of a child hiding.


    Without further ado, they started running in the path with the child symbol, and without even letting out a sound, they both knew what they were supposed to do.


    After arriving at the end of the path, Darth entered the room located on the left side. The door of that room had a symbol of a child hiding.


    Isaac saw another door like that one on the right side. His hand touched the door handle, and he felt a freezing cold surrounding his body, but he didn''t have time to focus on it.


    He nced at the corridor where they came from, and the only thing he saw was pure darkness...


    The lights weren''t flickering anymore like they were too afraid.


    Isaac entered the room and quickly closed the door with a racing heartbeat.


    He sat down on the floor and finally could look around the room. It had one hospital bed with a metal closet and bathroom.


    There were two windows, which showed the painted sky.


    Next to the hospital bed was a worn-out cab, with the door of the cab barely intact.


    Isaac also noticed a crack on the wall, like a head was smashed in it, but there were no signs of blood anywhere.


    The floor was in the color of white with few scribbling marks; it was a sign of children drawing.


    Isaac raised his head and saw the door having a small window, which could be used to look at the room.


    He gulped and looked around the room, trying to find anything that could be used to cover the window.


    Soon, his eyes were locked with a tuck tape, which was located in the broken cab.


    Isaac put the Musket Rifle gently on the ground and sneakily moved towards the cab. He took sneaky nces at the small window and felt like his heart was about to explode.


    What if Baba Yaga''s face suddenly appears? He is afraid of getting a heart attack.


    His fear started kicking in, but also... A notification popped up.


    [Fear Disperse Activated!]


    [10% Fear Dispelled!]


    Isaac wiped his sweat and wryly smiled, ''Who knows that it would have been useful so soon...'' He still felt slight fear, but much less.


    He reached the cab and grabbed the tuck tape, and went straight back to the door.


    ''''Whew...'''' Isaac took a deep breath and stood up to look at the window. The only thing he saw was a dark corridor and the scratching marks on the window.


    *Hiss*


    Isaac took a long piece of tape and grimaced after a hissing sound came from doing it. He put the tape on the window, but it covered only 10% of the window.


    He kept wiping his sweat, which was about to form on his delicate forehead, and kept taking more pieces of tape.


    Soon, the grey tape already covered half of the window, and Isaac started having a slight hope of seeding, but then... He heard a voice.


    *Tap*


    His body became stiff as he heard the sound of a footstep... He crouched and tried to hide his body so that it won''t be visible if someone was looking at the window.


    Outside the room.


    A shadowy figure saw the end of the corridor. Her long tongue swayed in a creepy manner, and a face of amusement was visible on her already disgusting face, which was half disfigured.


    She had a long nose that was curved down and long eyshes that made her even creepier with her dark brown eyes.


    She touched the wall with her long nail and scratched it, which caused an ear-piercing sound to appear.


    *Krrrrrrrrrr!*


    Baba Yaga closed her eyes in satisfaction after the appearance of loud sound, which was loud enough to make eardrums explode.


    She once again looked around the corridor and noticed something strange. One of the windows was tuck-taped, and she was certain that it wasn''t there before.


    She curiously approached the door with window tuck taped. She looked around the room through the window but couldn''t see the area close to the door because the tuck tape blocked the vision just perfectly.


    Her eyes narrowed as she put her hand with long nails on the door handle, but instantly after doing it... The door handle turned into a color of fiery red, which caused her hand to start burning!


    ''''KRAAAAAAAAAA!'''' Baba Yaga''s furious scream echoed in every corner of the hospital. She quickly removed her hand and saw her hand having a massive burnt mark.


    But... With incredible speed, her hand healed, like she was never injured.


    She clenched her fist and looked at the symbol on the door. An enraged look appeared on her disgusting face.


    *BAM*


    She mmed her hands on the door and shouted with her creepy voice, ''''YOU CAN''T HIDE FOREVER!''''


    Inside the room.


    Isaac covered his mouth with his hands, trying to be as quiet as possible. After hearing Baba Yaga''s enraged shout, he paled considerably, but he was also now certain that she couldn''t enter rooms with the symbol of child hiding!


    He heard the sound of Baba Yaga''s footsteps bing more distant until the sound waspletely gone.

 Chapter 106 - Seekers.

    A ck-haired figure left one of the rooms and ran towards the room Isaac was in.


    He opened the door and saw Isaac jumping backward.


    ''''Fuck sake, you scared me!'''' Isaac took a deep breath and touched the area where his heart was with his hand, and felt his racing heartbeat.


    Darth wryly smiled and quickly closed the door, ''''You alright? Baba Yaga was here, wasn''t she?''''


    Isaac nodded and sat down on the hospital bed, ''''She couldn''t enter the room, must be because of the symbol of a child.''''


    ''''That''s good to know.'''' Darth then saw the tuck tape covering the window, ''''Why did you put the tuck tape?''''


    ''''I thought it would help in hiding, but it attracted even more attention.'''' Isaac scratched his head and continued, ''''I followed my fear and thought that covering the window was the safest bet because in some cases it would help me hide better, but it was a mistake.''''


    Darth scratched his chin and asked, ''''What should we do? We don''t have all day.''''


    ''''Yeah.'''' Isaac rubbed his forehead in annoyance, ''''I have only around 5 hours remaining; this Bronze VR Helmet is annoying.''''


    ''''Don''t you have money to buy a better one, or is there another reason?'''' Darth asked curiously while looking at the children drawing on the floor.


    ''''I thought spending more money would be a waste.'''' Isaac sighed, ''''I thought about joining my father''spany as an intern, but I am not so sure anymore.''''


    Darth looked at him and asked, ''''So... You nned to quit White Online?''''


    Isaac shrugged, ''''Not sure, but I don''t really feel like quitting anymore, but who knows.'''' He stood up and continued, ''''I will make my decision after the tournament.''''


    ''''Tournament?'''' Darth frowned, ''''What''s that?''''


    Isaac scratched his cheek and grabbed his gun from the ground, ''''Nothing, but I hope I win it.''''


    ''Tournament... Hmm.'' Darth shrugged and felt like it sounded important, but whenever he tried to link the tournament with White Online, it was like something got locked inside his mind, which made it impossible for him to keep thinking more.


    Isaac went to the window and looked around, ''''Hmm, I don''t think we can leave sessfully by using the same path; we need to use different methods.''''


    ''''What is your n?'''' Darth asked and opened the door to the bathroom, which showed a sink, toilet, and shower.


    ''''Well... We are only on the first floor.'''' Isaac looked outside the window and saw the ground being only 5 meters away from the window, but it wasn''t soft ground, instead made of asphalt.


    But, he had a hunch that with his newfound physique, that fall isn''t a problem, especially for Darth.


    Darth left the bathroom and saw Isaac carrying a cab, ''''What are you doi¡ª'''' His words got cut off as Isaac threw the cab, which flew straight through the window.


    *CRACK*


    Isaac quickly protected his face as the shrapnels of broken ss flew around him.


    *BAM*


    Once the cab touched the asphalt ground, it got blown into pieces with papers littering the ground.


    ''''Alright...'''' Darth looked at the scene with a sweaty face, ''''Well... That will definitely attract her attention.''''


    ''''Let''s hurry!'''' Isaac shouted and jumped out of the window. His legs touched the ground, and he didn''t even feel a sting of pain.


    Darthnded with smooth movements behind him and anxiously looked towards the right, where the entrance of the hospital was located.


    Isaac didn''t stay still and wait for the Baba Yaga. Instead, he sped up and started running towards the backyard of the hospital.


    Darth woke up from his stupor after hearing Isaac running. He quickly followed behind and used his physique to its limits.


    He was still amazed that Isaac seemed to have a better Physique than he has, even though he has Stat specially for it!


    They hid behind the building. Isaac used it as cover to peek sneakily towards the ce with broken cab, papers, and pieces of broken ss.


    Even after waiting for 5 minutes... She didn''t appear.


    Isaac frowned and stopped peeking. Darth was anxiously looking at him with a questioning look.


    ''''I think she can''t leave the building...'''' Isaac guessed with his brows furrowed.


    Darth took a breath of relief, ''''Great, we have now two weaknesses that can be exploited.''''


    ''''But...'''' Isaac sat down and pondered, ''''What is the point of his test? We can just hide here or in the rooms, and she can''t do anything about it.''''


    ''''Yeah... There is something weird about this.'''' Darth said and tied his shoces tighter.


    ''''How much do you know about Baba Yaga?'''' Isaac asked while watching Darth tightening his shoces.


    ''''A lot.'''' Darth said and chuckled, ''''I had to do an essay about fairytales in the school.''''


    ''''Can you tell me more about her?'''' Isaac asked with his face showing his concentration.


    ''''How much do you know about her?'''' Darth asked first.


    Isaac shook his head, ''''Not much, only that she likes to eat children.''''


    Darth nodded and said, ''''She doesn''t only like to eat children. She likes to make them work for her first, make them do some small chores, and when their usage has been used, she will eat them, and she is very fond of fat children, so she will eat them instantly.''''


    Isaac frowned and felt like everything had to do with children, ''''Children... Children... Painting...'''' He looked towards the ceiling and the fake forest, which was painted, and then he remembered the drawing on the floor of that hospital room...


    It was a drawing of a forest with a starry sky.


    His eyes opened in realization, ''''Maybe... We have to save the children?''''


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Darth frowned and asked.


    Isaac pointed at the sky and said, ''''Now I understood things more clearly... The children''s chore was to paint the surroundings to Baba Yaga''s liking, and it isn''tpleted yet... The stars are missing.''''


    ''''So...'''' Darth sighed and continued, ''''We are seekers after all.''''


    Isaac nodded and smiled, ''''We have to find the children and get them out of here.''''

 Chapter 107 - Ladder.

    ''''So, what is the n?'''' Darth asked. Even though they had some idea what they were supposed to do, they still couldn''t do it with a waterproof n.


    Baba Yaga is, after all, a Mythical Figure who can easily kill them.


    ''''Interface,'''' Isaac murmured without answering the question.

    ___


    Without thinking twice, Isaac pressed [STA] and put all Stat Points on it.


    [STA: 25 -> 35]


    [SP: 10 -> 0]


    He closed the Interface and remembered Darth''s question.


    ''''The painting must be a difficult task, so it can''t be done by a few children, so there must be over dozen children easily,'''' Isaac said, and Darth nodded; he had a hunch what Isaac was trying to say.


    ''''We need to find the files, which show the map of the hospital and the list of patients.'''' Isaac stood up and patted the dirt from his pants, ''''We need a map so we can find a room, which could fit over dozen children, and we need an estimation of how many children there are.''''


    Darth nodded and asked, ''''Where should we start? The reception desk doesn''t have those.''''


    Isaac rubbed his chin and replied, ''''Those should be located on aputer, but those were broken... But, maybe Baba Yaga hasn''t broken everyputer, it is a slim chance, but we have to guess.''''


    Darth looked around the area around the hospital and asked, ''''But... The question remains, is this ce still on White Online, and why is a hospital in the middle of fucking cave?''''


    ''''And why is this a test.'''' Isaac continued Darth''s words, but he pushed those thoughts back on his mind and tapped his shoulder, ''''We can''t find those answers, but we can pass the test.''''


    Darth took a deep breath and left with Isaac. They didn''t dare to enter through the entrance or from the window of the first floor.


    They walked around the hospital until Darth saw a glimpse of something.


    ''''There.'''' He whispered and pointed at thedders, which leads to the hospital''s roof.


    Isaac''s eyes sparkled as he remembered something simr in the Snowstar''s hospital. There should be a door, which leads to the roof, and if this is the case... They could use thedders to go the roof and enter the building from there.


    ''''That will do.'''' He said and let Darth go first. Both of them started climbing thedders, trying to be as quiet as possible.


    If Baba Yaga finds out the way they are trying to use, she can n an ambush and kill them effortlessly.


    Darth was the first one to arrive on the roof. He looked around warily, trying to find the door, and he felt like a mountain was lifted off from his shoulders after seeing a glimpse of a door not too far from him.


    He turned his head around and saw Isaac''s hand appearing as he pulled himself up.


    Isaac grabbed the Musket Rifle from the Inventory after putting it back there before they started climbing, so there isn''t a danger of the Musket Rifle hitting on thedders and making a noise.


    He strapped it on his back and had the leather pouch wrapped on his waist, filled with small round objects that screamed the word dangerous.


    After finishing their preparations, they reached the door, and Darth was the one who opened the door.


    He put his hand on the doorknob and twisted it with a rapid heartbeat.


    *Clink*


    He heard the sound of the door opening, and he once again felt very relieved.


    If the door was locked, they would be in a lot of trouble.


    ''''This game was supposed to be fun and thrilling.'''' Darth whispered and rubbed his forehead, ''''They didn''t say anything about horror.''''


    ''''You aren''t good with horror?'''' Isaac asked with his mouth slightly curved upwards.


    Darth shook his head, ''''I once passed out when my parents watched a horror movie.''''


    Isaac patted his shoulder and whispered, ''''Don''t... Pass out after seeing her.''''


    ''''No promises,'''' Darth said with a wry smile and entered the building while Isaac followed closely behind.


    There were stairways in front of them, which leads to the third floor.


    The hospital wasn''t thatrge, only three floors with hundred rooms.


    Soon, their legs left the stairs andnded on the floor of the third floor.


    Darth hid behind the wall and peeked from there. The only thing he saw was flickering lights at the end of the corridor, with a door that had the word [Exit] on it.


    There was also a bright green light above the door, but it was also flickering, while the ss panel around it was broken into pieces.


    Isaac rubbed his forehead and tried to remember everything he saw in the Snowstar''s hospital. dly, he had spent a lot of time there when he was injured, and Richard was the one who showed him around.


    He also knows for the fact that Richard''s office has aputer with all files because he is the Chief Doctor.


    Richard''s office was also on the top floor.


    ''If this world is as realistic as it has been told to be...'' Isaac turned his head towards the room at the end of the corridor, in the opposite direction from the door with the [Exit] sign.


    He was a dimly lit room with a door slightly ajar, and there have been some signs of the door having a sign, but it has been ripped off with brute strength.


    ''''Can you stay on a lookout?'''' Isaac asked from a pale Darth.


    Darth snapped his head towards him and widened his eyes in shock, ''''Y-You will leave me alone?! I am already about to pass out!''''


    ''''Stop being a baby.'''' Isaac patted his shoulder with force, ''''It won''t take long.'''' He took another look at the corridor, where the door with [Exit] sign was located, and once he was sure there wasn''t anyone.


    He started moving stealthily towards the door, which was slightly ajar.

 Chapter 108 - Files.

    *Creak*


    Isaac opened the door slightly, and a very dark room became visible, with the only lighting was from the windows.


    The light came from the streemps located around the parking lot, which was almost the only source of light.


    Isaac turned his body halfway and saw Darth looking pale like he had seen a ghost, but he was still doing his duty as a lookout.


    He turned his head back towards the room and entered it while leaving the door slightly ajar.


    The room had bookshelves with different kinds of medical books and fairytales. In the middle of the room was a wooden desk with four different stacks of papers and an old-lookingputer in the middle of the wooden desk.


    In front of theputer was a keyboard and office chair, which had ayer of dust.


    There was a tightly locked cab next to the desk, with a scratching mark on the door of the cab and a symbol of child hiding.


    The floor creaked every time Isaac stepped on it, which almost made his heart explode out of nervousness.


    If Baba Yaga was on the floor below them, it wouldn''t be too hard to hear it.


    Isaac had already noticed that this hospital was almost breaking apart, with some of the doors being rusty and walls having signs of cracking. He is currently praying towards the Goddess of Snow so that he won''t fall through the wooden floor.


    He doesn''t know whether anyone heard his praying, but he didn''t know what else to do.


    ''Time is money... Time is everything.'' Isaac uttered all his willpower and bravery. He almost tiptoed, but he quickly made his way over to the wooden desk.


    It didn''t take long for him to reach it, and even though it was only a few meters, he felt like he had just swam over 100km without stopping, and once he finally reached the shore, the amount of relief could not be described with words.


    Isaac grabbed the office chair and pushed it to the side, and wiped the dust from the screen of theputer.


    There was also ayer of dust on top of the keyboard, which he cleaned with the usage of his sleeve.


    ''''Let''s see...'''' He murmured and looked at the oldputer with a frown; he had never used something so old before.


    He looked around theputer, trying to find a way to start it.


    But then, he saw a button located on the side of theputer, which was hidden by the dust.


    He cleaned off the dust and saw a button, which looked very familiar with a starting button on hisptop, but it was muchrger.


    *nk*


    He pressed it and heard a rhythmical sound of gears starting to turn and the sound of a fan spinning.


    The sound wasn''t that loud, but even the slightest sound in the quiet hospital was very noticeable.


    Outside the room.


    Darth snapped his head towards the door, and even he heard the slight sound of theputer. He scratched his hair until it became messy, but he didn''t mind.


    ''''Hurry up... Hurry up...''''


    Inside the room.


    Isaac saw the screen flickering until it finally showed the starting screen.


    He looked around the table until he saw a very old keyboard mouse. He used the mouse and moved it towards the files.


    *Tap* *Tap*


    He tapped a couple of times and had to wait very long 10 seconds until the files opened.


    ''''So slow...'''' Isaac gritted his teeth and tried to go through the files as fast as he could, but it was a very difficult task with the slowputer.


    It was either luck, or he knew exactly what he was looking for, but he found a file with words [Patient Files]


    He pressed it instantly, and over a hundred patients became visible, but most of them were elderly or adults.


    He went to the sections with children and saw multiple faces with innocent faces, and some even looked sickly.


    Isaac counted all of them and stopped counting once he reached 14.


    ''''14 children...'''' Isaac murmured and left the patient''s file. He started searching for the map of the hospital, and once again, he found it fairly quickly.


    He only saw the blueprints of the hospital, but it was exactly what he needed.


    He moved the mouse and pressed [Print]


    Isaac heard another machine turning on and the sound of printing.


    While waiting, he turned his head back to the door, and because the door was slightly ajar, he could see the corridor and saw the lights suddenly stopping flickering on the end of the corridor...


    His face paled as he knew what this meant, ''''She ising...'''' He ran towards the printer and waited with an anxious look as the machine printed the blueprints of the hospital very slowly...


    And once it had only 5% left, which only showed the area close to the parking lot, Isaac had enough waiting and yanked the paper forcefully and left the room instantly.


    He saw Darth''s body trembling; he must also know that she ising.


    ''''Darth!'''' Isaac shout whispered, which caused Darth to turn his head robotically.


    Isaac showed the paper and pointed at the stairs, which leads back to the roof.


    Darth shakily nodded and quietly walked up the stairs while Isaac followed closely behind.


    They felt a cold wind suddenly starting to increase in intensity, and a distinct sound of footsteps started approaching the third floor in a hurry!


    Darth and Isaac opened the door and entered the roof. They instantly hid while the sound of footsteps went past the stairs and went towards the Chief Doctor''s room.


    But... Soon their hearts almost exploded out of nervousness after the sound of footsteps reappeared, but this time close to the stairs.


    That wasn''t all... The footsteps started approaching the door, and they could already see an outline of shadows underneath the door.


    Darth covered his mouth and hoped that the roof was ssified as outside of the hospital so that Baba Yaga cannot enter!


    Isaac was already preparing to run away, but it was like Baba Yaga was making fun of their fear because as soon as she came, she left as quickly.


    The shadow disappeared, and the footsteps became distinct until they werepletely gone.


    Isaac and Darth took a breath of relief. They nced at the paper in Isaac''s hand, and now they knew what they had to do.


    Save the children andplete the test!

 Chapter 109 - Baba Yaga’s Weakness.

    ''''So, how many are there?'''' Darth asked after finally calming his heartbeat.


    ''''Fourteen,'''' Isaac replied and unfolded the map to take a closer look at where the children could be hidden.


    ''''That''s a lot.'''' Darth scratched his head and felt like failing this test would make him traumatized.


    Isaac put the map down on the floor and looked closely. The map had a portion missing, which was caused by Isaac forcefully removing the paper from the printer, but if he didn''t do that, he would have gotten caught.


    He didn''t deem that portion valuable because it only shows the parking lot and the lounge area.


    Darth sat down on the ground and looked at the map as well. He wasn''t as knowledgeable about the outline of a hospital, but he could help Isaac at finding rooms with enough capacity to hold over dozen children.


    After going through the blueprints of the hospital, they both noticed that there was something amiss.


    The hospital has only three floors and a rooftop, but the blueprints have four floors and a rooftop...


    The missing floor was even below the lounge area, which means...


    ''''They are in the underground,'''' Darth said, and Isaac nodded.


    Isaac looked around the map and saw the stairway going straight down to the underground.


    ''''Hmm... The stairs are the easiest way, but it''s risky.'''' Isaac crossed his arms and started thinking; while Darth was still looking at the map, he had a hunch that they missed something.


    So far, he wasn''t much help, and Isaac has done most of the work. At first, he thought he was supposed to do the heavy lifting because he is higher level, but in the end, the Duo Dungeon was something that didn''t fit him; instead, it was almost tailor-made for Isaac.


    Now, he has a feeling in his gut that they missed something, and he was sure that it would be something that would change the battlefield in their favor.


    His gaze lingered on the third floor, and soon his vision saw the area around the door with [Exit] sign...


    Behind the door was another stairway, which leads all the way to the first floor, where the lounge was located, but...


    At the bottom of the stairs was a symbol of child hiding...


    Darth''s eyes widened as he finally found something helpful, ''''Wraith, look!''''


    Isaac flinched and saw where Darth''s finger was pointing. He narrowed his eyes, which soon widened in shock.


    ''''Symbol of a child hiding... That''s it!'''' Isaac eximed, ''''Good job, now I might know what Baba Yaga''s weakness is!''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Darth felt proud of finally being helpful, but he has a hunch that Isaac found something even more amazing.


    Isaac folded the map and started walking towards the edge of the roof.


    ''''Where are you going?'''' Darth asked while patting the dust from his pants.


    ''''Come,'''' Isaac said and stopped at the end of the roof, his two legs only inch away from falling from the roof.


    Darth walked next to him with confusion filling his face, but after he saw the scene below them... He widened his eyes in realization.


    They were looking down on the parking lot but on the ground... There was arge painting of a child hiding.


    ''''That''s her weakness.'''' Isaac said and then remembered seeing the same symbol in the Chief Doctor''s office, ''''It is time to go finish this test.''''


    Darth nodded and took a final nce at the child hiding. The initial fear on his face disappeared, and he didn''t even need his newly found skill, Fear Disperse, to help with it.


    He pushed the fear away and left the roof with Isaac.


    After reaching the third floor, they nodded at each other and walked in opposite directions.


    Darth went to the door with the [Exit] sign, and Isaac went to the Chief Doctor''s office.


    Darth opened the door and looked towards Isaac, who had already entered the Chief Doctor''s room.


    He looked at the flickering light above him and clenched his fist in hopes of dispelling his surfacing fear.


    There weren''t any signs of Baba Yaga yet, but that might not be the case soon.


    In the Chief Doctor''s room.


    Isaac went straight towards the cab with a symbol of child hiding.


    The door of the cab had obvious signs of scratching marks like someone was desperately trying to open it but to no avail.


    He put his hand on the knob and tried to open it, but it was locked.


    ''''Of course...'''' He clicked his tongue and went towards the wooden desk. He rummaged through the wooden desk''s cabs but only found useless papers and fliers.


    He had cold sweat pouring on his back as he knew that time was running out.


    Isaac wanted to m the cabs shut, but that would be thest mistake he would do. In the end, he closed them softly and looked at the cab with the symbol of a child hiding.


    He debated whether he should use his gun to smash the door into pieces and grab whatever was inside and start running.


    But... He doubts that he can run away from the Mythological Figure.


    With frustration, he started walking back and forth. It didn''t take long for him to find out the only ce he hadn''t searched yet.


    His gaze lingered on the bookshelf with medical books and different kinds of fairytales.


    ''''Fairytales...'''' Isaac murmured and walked towards the bookshelf. He ignored the medical books and went straight towards the fairytales section.


    He remembered most of the books from his childhood, but there were also a few unfamiliar ones.


    His family never read him any scary stories, which made him slightly ignorant about the world, and for some time, he thought that the world was rainbows and rays of sunshine.


    They wanted to keep his innocence as long as possible, but with his brilliant mind, he found out that the world was much different than he thought at first.


    He found out that jealousy and greediness are a dangerousbination, which he was unlucky enough to witness personally.


    After he was done reminiscing. He saw something in the middle of the fairytales section.


    It was a book in the color of red and a figure of a monstrous-looking woman walking past a desk, with a fearful child hiding behind it.


    He grabbed the book and saw the test on the cover.


    [Wickedly Wonderful - Tale of Baba Yaga]

 Chapter 110 - Desire.

    *nk*


    A shiver of light appeared as something fell from the book andnded on the floor with a nking noise.


    Isaac crouched and grabbed the item. It was key in the shade of silver, which was surprisingly bright and shiny.


    He threw the book about Baba Yaga inside his inventory and went straight towards the cab.


    He carefully put the key in the keyhole and twisted it until a familiar clinking noise appeared.


    *Clink*


    Isaac gulped and used the knob to open the cab. The first thing he saw was a stack of papers and felt very disappointed, but then on thest shelf, he saw a wooden box with mysterious-looking carvings.


    He took it from the cab and put it down on the wooden desk. He looked around if he needed another key to open it, but dly there wasn''t a lock.


    Without stalling any longer, he opened it, and the moment he did...


    Isaac gasped and felt blue liquid trailing down his mouth, staining the floor below him in the color of blue.


    He covered his mouth, but the bleeding didn''t stop, and soon his eyes started bleeding.


    That wasn''t the end. His ears started gushing with blood, staining his otherworldly face in blue.


    He couldn''t even scream like it would be rude to make any sound in the presence of the item located in the box.


    ''Mere insect dares to disturb my sleep?'' Isaac widened his eyes as he heard a voice in his mind. The voice screamed words powerful and ruthless.


    He grabbed his head because he felt like it was about to explode if he had to listen to the voice even a second longer!


    ''Can''t even listen to my voice... How utterly pathetic, but I guess you are one of the so-called yers... I guess being able to survive this long is not a bad aplishment, but you are far from being worthy one.'' The voice this time was much calmer; otherwise, Isaac would have died by now.


    Isaac fell down on the ground, and he had never felt such pain. It was like someone was drilling a hole on his head, and if he could scream, he would have until his voice became hoarse.


    ''Why did you wake me up, weakling?'' The voice asked.


    Isaac tried to utter his words, but couldn''t, like it was sphemy to talk in the presence of a higher being.


    ''Answer me!'' The voice roared in anger.


    ''''B-Ba...'''' Isaac pushed the words out of his mouth, even when his bright white teeth were stained on blue, he still kept trying, ''''Ba... Ba... Ya... Ga..'''' After he was done speaking, he started choking on his blood, which caused his vision to get much darker.


    After his words came out of his bloodied mouth. The presence disappeared, and Isaac could finally cough the blood out of his mouth.


    ''''Ugh... h!'''' Isaac turned around and vomited the blue liquid out of his mouth, making a small puddle in front of him.


    ''Baba Yaga...'' The voice muttered, and this time, he looked at Isaac with a profound look.


    ''So young and weak... Yet, he is someone who will fight against an opponent who is a thousand times stronger than him.''


    Isaac feebly stood up with the help of his frail-looking arms. After standing straight, he finally saw what was inside the wooden box.


    It was something he never expected to see. It was a pistol in shades of silver and ck.


    Isaac was much more familiar with this kind of gun because it is a modern gun that is in heavy use in his world and not something like Musket Rifle that is an ancient gun, which no one uses anymore.


    His eyes showed his desire to use it, and the gun felt it.


    ''Why do you want to use me?'' The voice asked, ''Tell me your reasoning.''


    This time, Isaac didn''t feel any pain.


    He calmed down his heartbeat and replied with a calm, yet firm expression, ''''I want to make sure Baba Yaga never forgets about my face.''''


    ''Hmm? Why do you want that?'' The voice sounded confused, and was surprised to see Isaac''s smirk.


    ''''Because one day I wille back... And I will kill her by myself and get revenge for everyone she has killed so far.'''' Isaac replied with absolute confidence.


    This was the moment... Isaac decided to keep ying White Online, and this was the moment when his desire to get stronger was ignited.


    Everyone who wants to be Pro yer on White Online has only three types of desires.


    Getting rich.


    Bing famous.


    Being respected.


    But... Isaac has a desire which was greatly different from everyone else.


    Desire to see the monsters like Baba Yaga being defeated by human!


    The gun was stunned, until he bursted intoughter, ''Bahahahaha!''


    Isaac listened to theughter with his eyes closed and opened them once theughter died down.


    ''Fine... Let me help you make a very good impression!'' The gun started shining in the glow of silver, and it disappeared into thin air.


    Isaac frowned after the gun disappeared, but then he felt something in his right hand.


    He looked at his hand and widened his eyes in shock. His hand was holding the pistol, and it perfectly fits his hand, like it was specially tailored for him.


    ''You can only shoot once, your weak body can barely handle a recoil of one shot, and there is a high chance of you exploding into pieces.''


    Isaac''s face became slightly paler, but he nodded with a firm look. He left the room and jogged straight towards Darth, who was anxiously pacing back and forth.


    After he heard footsteps approaching, his face showed his relief, until it became confused after seeing Isaac holding a pistol in his hand.


    ''''What the...''''


    Isaac shrugged and said, ''''Long story.''''


    Darth dumbly nodded and entered the stairways with Isaac.


    After the door with the [Exit] sign closed, the lights stopped flickering, and a shadowy appeared on the third floor, who looked confused to see the third floor being empty once again.

 Chapter 111 - Fourteen Presences.

    Isaac and Darth reached the first floor after carefully and quietly moving down the stairs.


    There is a door on the left side, which leads to the lounge and the reception desk.


    But, they ignored it and focused their gazes on the wall, which had a painting of a child hiding from another child.


    Darth took the painting off the wall and put it gently on the floor. The first thing they saw was a metallic pipe, which wasrge enough to fit an adult, and it seemed to go down straight to the underground.


    Isaac put his head inside the metallic pipe and looked down to try to find where it went. At the bottom of the metallic pipe was thergest garbage disposal he had ever seen, and it was already filled with garbage bags.


    A disgusting scent appeared from the metallic pipe, which made Isaac grimace in disgust, but soon he pushed that disgust out of his mind and pushed his courage to its limit.


    He put the pistol on the leather pouch, which had enough space to fit the pistol, but the voice didn''t seem to be pleased.


    ''Is this necessary?'' The voice seemed annoyed after being surrounded by the bullets, which wasn''t even made for him.


    Isaac wryly smiled and whispered, ''''Sorry... Won''t take long...''''


    ''''Did you say something?'''' Darth asked after hearing Isaac muttering something.


    ''''Ah, no,'''' Isaac replied and climbed inside the metallic pipe. His body fit perfectly, and he didn''t seem to be suffocating even the slightest.


    He took a deep breath and was hanging from the top of the metallic pipe; he nced below him and hoped that there weren''t anything sharp or hard items on those garbage bags.


    His grip slowly loosened, and he started falling down to the garbage disposal.


    *Bam*


    Isaac''s figurended in the middle of the smelly garbage bags and sank deeper and deeper until he was almost touching the des located on the bottom of the garbage disposal.


    ''''Ugh!'''' He grimaced and started moving his hands around him rapidly, trying to remove the garbage bags from suffocating him.


    He used the garbage bags as a foothold to climb out of the garbage disposal.


    *Thud*


    Hended on the ground with an exhausted expression, and then he heard another sound of someone falling down to the garbage bags.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac heard Darth''s shout and soon saw him climbing out of the garbage disposal in the same way as he did.


    Darthnded on the ground on his butt, which caused his face to show his pain for a split second.


    Isaac slowly stood up and finally looked around him, trying to find out where they were.


    The room they were in was filled with metallic walls and dozen other pipes leaving the room, leading to somewhere unknown.


    He saw the exit, and it wasn''t anything fancy; there wasn''t even a door, only a corridor leading to somewhere.


    Darth stood up with his face slightly dirtied, but it showed his seriousness as he grabbed the bow from his back.


    Isaac took the pistol from the pouch and nodded towards Darth, who returned the nod.


    They left the room and started making their way over to the exit of the corridor.


    The walls of the corridors were greyish with few cracks, which had dirt gushing out in a slow manner. They looked at the floor and saw it being brownish, caused by the dirt.


    It was painfully obvious that the hospital was falling down and who knows how old it is, but the hospital has some futurist items, which could mean that it''s not too old, but it was built by someone inexperienced.


    Mark of their footsteps appeared on the brownish floor as they were approaching the end of the corridor in a steady manner.


    At the end of the corridor had one door, which made both Isaac and Darth wary.


    They stopped in front of the door and grabbed their weapons tighter. Baba Yaga could be waiting for them on the other side of the door if they were unlucky.


    Isaac signaled Darth to open the door while he went into the shooting position.


    Darth gulped and put his hand on the door handle.


    He pulled the door handle down and started pulling the door towards himself.


    The door''s opening didn''t make even the slightest of sounds, and soon it was wide open.


    Isaac saw a spacious room with five doors surrounding the room. One of the doors was wide open, and the stairs, which leads to the reception desk, were visible, while the other doors were tightly shut.


    He was the first one to enter the spacious room, which resembled a lounge usually seen inrge mansions.


    Darth followed and closed the door behind him.


    A small chandelier was hanging from the ceiling, which colored the room in a yellowish hue.


    ''I feel fourteen presences behind the first door.'' The voice suddenly said, and Isaac''s head turned towards the door closest to him.


    ''Wait... You can tell where everyone is? Why don''t you tell me where Baba Yaga is?'' Isaac asked inside his mind.


    ''Baba Yaga is a mythical figure, and I am only a spiritual individual in the form of a gun. Even if I am stronger than she is, there are limits I can do without a proper body.''


    Isaac sighed, ''Of course, everything has to be done the hard way...''


    Without further ado, he went to the first door and opened it without wasting any time.


    Darth looked shocked to see Isaac opening the door without any care in the world. He thought that there might be traps and Isaac would process carefully onwards, but he simply opened the door without any care in the world.


    But, the next thing shocked him even more. After opening the door, a dpidated room became visible, and at the end of the room, arge cage was seen with fourteen individuals sleeping without any care in the world.


    Isaac and Darth entered the room; they went straight towards therge cage and saw the malnourished children sleeping on the hard ground.

 Chapter 112 - Fountain Of Life.

    *Crack*


    Darth broke the lock and opened the cage''s door.


    The loud sound of the lock breaking was enough to wake the children up.


    ''''Mmm...'''' The children rubbed their eyes innocently and saw the outline of a tall person, the first feeling they had was shock and fear until it dispelled after seeing that it wasn''t the monstrous olddy.


    ''''W-Who?'''' A little girl with pigtails asked. Her face was dirtied byck of hygiene and living in poor conditions.


    ''''My name is...'''' Darth looked at Isaac, and his face looked conflicted. He didn''t want to say his or Isaac''s name because they weren''t exactly child-friendly.


    The children were below 10 years of age, and they looked confused with slight fear after suddenly waking up to see two unknown figures appearing.


    Darth seeing their fear, decided to say his real name, ''''My name is Darek.'''' He smiled gently, which dispelled the children''s fear a little bit.


    The children''s focus was then locked on Isaac, and they felt more at ease after seeing his gentle face.


    Darth also looked at Isaac.


    Isaac sighed and smiled, ''''My name is Isaac; nice to meet you.''''


    ''''Lily.'''' The girl with pigtails said shyly while fidgeting her fingers.


    ''''Luke.'''' A young boy with blond hair replied with slight nervousness.


    ''''Jasper.'''' A young boy with a fatigued face but was slightly chubbierpared to other children.


    ''''Laura.'''' A young girl with long and flowy ck hair said with a pale face.


    ''''Alia.'''' A young girl with a pixie hairstyle and dark brown eyes said.


    ''''Carl.'''' A short young boy said, while his dark eyes showed fatigueness and despair.


    ''''Ca.'''' A short young girl said, she looked very simr to Carl and had even the same dark eye colors.


    ''''Sam.'''' A young boy with his left eye bandaged said while scratching his arm.


    ''''M-Mina.'''' A timid ck-haired young girl said, who was mostly hiding behind others.


    ''''Peter.'''' A young boy, who seemed older than others, said while warily looking at the two unknown figures.


    ''''Van.'''' A young boy next to Peter said with a small smile. He had short brown hair and dirtied face.


    ''''Rio.'''' A young girl with blond hair said while keeping her gaze lowered, not daring to look at them directly in the eye like it would be rude.


    ''''Ilya!'''' A young girl with unique blue hair said with some cheerfulness visible on her facial features.


    ''''July.'''' Another young girl said while standing next to Ilya. She has shoulder-length brown hair and beautiful blue eyes.


    Isaac printed the names on his memory, while Darth had difficulties remembering after Mina.


    ''''W-Why are you two here?'''' Luke asked while timidly looking towards the entrance of the room, ''''S-She doesn''t like guests, that''s why no one has visited us.''''


    ''''What do you guys remember?'''' Isaac sat down on the ground and asked. He wanted to know their situation first to have a clear understanding.


    ''''A-After hospital had been built, and we were associated here to get treated... It didn''t take long for her to appear.'''' Lily said with a nervous and fearful face.


    ''''Why here? Why was the hospital built in the middle of a random cave?'''' Darth asked.


    The children looked at each other, and they nodded between each other.


    It was Peter who answered.


    ''''It was because of the fountain!'''' He said with excitement, ''''Apparently, if you live close to the fountain, all your injuries and diseases will be cured!''''


    Isaac looked at Darth and looked confused.


    Darth rubbed his forehead, but then he remembered something very important about Baba Yaga.


    He gulped and asked, ''''Was it called... Fountain of Life?''''


    The children''s eyes sparkled as they nodded.


    Darth leaned closer to Isaac and whispered, ''''In the fairytale... Baba Yaga was the guardian of the fountain of life.''''


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac started having a clearer picture. He guesses that the one who built the hospital found out about the fountain of the water of life. Instead of using it selfishly, he decided to help others by building a hospital here, while the fountain will do the heavy-lifting and cure the children of their diseases, which cannot be cured by ordinary means.


    But... Baba Yaga also found out about the fountain, and tragedy struck.


    ''''What about the painted walls outside the hospital,'''' Darth asked.


    Lily''s shoulders slumped as she replied with a tired look, ''''She forces us to paint, even though we hate it... But, it is soon done, and apparently, after we are done, we can rest!'''' She said thest bit with excitement.


    Other children also felt much more energetic after knowing that their suffering is soon over.


    Isaac and Darth looked at each other with conflicted looks. The children aren''t aware that Baba Yaga didn''t talk about normal rest... Instead about eternal rest.


    ''''Well, do you guys want to leave now? Your parents must be worried.'''' Darth said with a smile, but the children instantly shook their heads.


    ''''S-She doesn''t like it if we go out without her permission.''''


    Peter took a step forwards and looked conflicted, ''''She sometimes... Hurts us if we disobey, and it won''t take long to paint the stars... After that, we are finally free.''''


    Darth scratched his head and said, ''''I don''t know how should we say this, but...''''


    The children looked confused and curious.


    ''''She isn''t nning to let any of you go,'''' Darth said and scratched his cheeks while seeing the children''s faces turn pale white.


    ''''W-What?''''


    Isaac bit his lip and decided to rip the band-aid right off, ''''She ns to eat you guys after you are done painting.''''


    The children went even paler, and some even started sobbing silently. They are, after all, only children and trusted every word Isaac and Darth said.


    Peter almost fell down, but he forced him to stand, ''''W-What should we do?''''


    Isaac stood up and said, ''''We will leave now before shees back.''''


    Peter shakily nodded and looked at the rest of the children, ''''Everyone, let''s follow them... Remember our teachings, stay quiet, or she will hurt us again.''''


    Everyone nodded and followed behind Isaac out of the cage.


    Darth was thest one to leave the cage and the room.


    After reaching the spacious room, instead of rushing towards the stairs, Isaac turned around and looked at Peter, ''''Can you show us the fountain quickly?''''


    ''''W-Why?'''' Peter asked with nervousness; he looked fearful while gazing at the open door and was afraid of Baba Yaga appearing.


    Darth also looked confused, wasn''t the most important part of getting the kids safely out andpleting the test?


    Isaac thought it as well, but then... The voice talked inside his mind.


    ''Young one... Fountain of Life will change your life forever... Even if you can only take a sip because your mortal body can''t handle more, it will still give you incredible benefits, but also.... It will remove your strength issue and will help you guys escape easier.''

 Chapter 113 - Chains.

    ''What do you mean?'' Isaac asked inside his mind. The children and Darth anxiously looked at Isaac, who seemed to be deep in thoughts.


    ''I don''t know what the hell is wrong in your body, but there seems to be some shackles ced in your body by someone much stronger than me, but Fountain of Life is a blessing that won''tpletely remove your shackles, but it will still help.'' The voice said calmly, with slight confession in his tone.


    Since he met the white-haired young man, he noticed that there was something wrong with him, but he couldn''t figure it outpletely.


    At first, he thought it was simply a disease, but when he looked at him closer... It was like there were some chains shackling him down, which stopped his strength from growing over a certain point.


    Isaac frowned and then remembered the error message that stopped him from increasing his Strength Stat.


    ''I don''t understand... Is there something from with my character?'' Isaac asked and felt Darth''s hand tapping his shoulder anxiously.


    Isaac waved his hand as a signal to give him a minute.


    Darth tried to keep his face calm, to not make the children more anxious, but there were obvious sweatdrops trickling down his face.


    ''Your character? I am notpletely sure what you mean, but there are big problems with your body. First of all, there is a blessing and curse in your body. Curse is the chains, which stops your growth and then blessing, which is still unknown, seems to be hidden.''


    Isaac held his head and proceeded every word he heard.


    ''Enough of chitchat, go to the Fountain of Life and take one sip. Don''t take anymore and don''t take any of the water with you; otherwise, Baba Yaga will chase you till the end of time.'' The voice said with a serious tone.


    Isaac nodded and looked at Peter, who was pale as a sheet, ''''Peter, can you take me to the fountain now?''''


    Peter looked at him and saw his grey eyes showing absolutely zero fear. He shakily nodded and went towards the third door and opened it.


    Darth and Isaac were surprised to see the fountain so close!


    After opening the door, a fountain made of greyish rock became visible. The fountain was brimming with bright blue water, which was gushing out of the underground, but it didn''t spill out of the fountain; instead, it stayed inside like there was a barrier, which stopped the water from spilling out.


    Isaac and Darth entered the room with other children. The first thing they felt was calm wind, and soon every fiber on their body was bing stronger and healthier.


    Darth closed his eyes and almost got drunk on the feeling of freshness.


    But then, Isaac elbowed his waist, which caused him to wake up from his stupor.


    Darth scratched his head and lowered his head with an apologetic look.


    ''''Let''s take a sip, remember, only a sip or you will die,'''' Isaac said with a serious look.


    ''''How do you know?'''' Darth asked, but Isaac didn''t answer and crouched in front of the fountain.


    ''Don''t touch the fountain, only use your tongue to take a very small sip.'' The voice instructed.


    Darth looked at Isaac and saw him moving his head very carefully while having his tongue out of his mouth.


    Isaac''s tongue touched the surface of the water, and instantly he felt like something exploded in his mind. He quickly moved away from the fountain and felt his whole being going through a small transformation.


    Darth looked shocked and instantly went towards Isaac, who seemed to have a seizure.


    ''''You alright?!'''' Darth shouted, and the children became anxious after seeing Isaac''s body twitching and squirming.


    ''''U-Ugh!'''' Saliva flew out of Isaac''s mouth as he rolled in the floor with every fiber of his body changing slightly, and he wasn''t aware of it... But inside his heart and brain, transparent chains slightly loosened.


    ...


    In the real life.


    In Whitelock Residence.


    A white-haired young man was only moments ago peacefully lying on his bed while a blue VR Helmet was covering his head.


    But that changed soon. First, his face showed pain a split second, and then his whole body started trembling, and his body started bouncing on the bed like he was having a seizure.


    Inside his body, a simr phenomenon was happening. Inside his heart, transparent chains loosened slightly, which caused a small bright light to appear, which was dimly and almost unnoticeable.


    Inside his brain, transparent chains loosened, but the chains were much more loosened than the ones in his heart because, for some reason, the chains in his brains had loosened before, and the bright light in his brain was even brighter than on his heart!


    Soon, the chains stopped loosening, and they were still locking the bright light for some reason, but from now on... Isaac''s body had undergone a terrifying transformation, and this was only the beginning!


    ...


    Inside the game.


    Isaac''s body stopped trembling, and it stopped movingpletely. His eyes were closed, and there wasn''t even a sign of him breathing.


    Darth and the children looked shocked, and some were about to cry, but then Isaac''s eyes opened with a m, and he sat up with an exhausted look.


    ''''Isaac!'''' Darth eximed and called him with his real name because the children were still present.


    ''''A-Are you alright?'''' Lily asked with some fear on her adorable face.


    Isaac weakly smiled and nodded, ''''Y-Yes.''''


    Darth looked at the fountain with slight fear, ''''W-What the hell is that fountain?''''


    Isaac chuckled and shook his head, ''''N-Not sure... Will you take a sip?''''


    Darth pondered for a moment before shaking his head, ''''No... After seeing what happened to you, I don''t think it''s worth it.''''


    Isaac was about to open his mouth and tell about the great benefits, but the voice interrupted.


    ''It''s better this way. I don''t think your friend can resist the temptation, and I am 99% sure that he will die and perhaps will never be the same ever again after getting a taste of Fountain of Life.''


    Isaac widened his eyes and nodded with understanding. He grabbed Darth''s hand, who helped him to stand up.


    ''''Time to leave..'''' He said, and Darth sighed in relief while the children looked anxious and hopeful.

 Chapter 114 - Power Of Silver Pistol.

    After leaving the room where the Fountain of Life was, they had a decision to make.


    Should they use the stairs, which is easily the fastest way to get out of the hospital, or the metal pipe, which could prove to be problematic.


    The children most likely won''t be able to climb it since there isn''t a proper foothold to use for climbing.


    ''''What are the other doors for?'''' Isaac asked from Peter.


    Peter gulped and pointed at the second door, ''''That''s storage for the painting equipments.'''' Then he pointed at the fourth door and continued, ''''That''s her sleeping quarter.''''


    Isaac grimaced and was now certain that there were only two paths, which leads out of the underground.


    He nced at the pistol in his hand and grabbed it tighter, ''''Alright... Let''s use the stairs, but everyone... Be as quiet as possible.''''


    The children nodded, and some even wanted to return to the cage; they would at least be safe there from the evildy.


    But, seeing their friends following the unknown individuals, they decided to follow as well because they didn''t want to feel the evildy''s wrath alone.


    Isaac entered the staircase and looked straight up, but the only thing saw were stairs, doors, and ceiling far away in the distance.


    He was the first one to start moving in the stairs; everyone else obediently followed behind.


    After they left the spacious room and started walking up the stairs.


    A shadowy figure opened one of the doors, which leads to the garbage disposal.


    She saw footsteps on the brownish ground, which made her certain that they were here!


    Her long nails started growing longer, and she went straight towards the first door.


    *BAM!*


    She opened the door with a m, and her eyes widened in shock after finding out empty cages.


    Her face, which was half disfigured, like it had been burnt and stepped on multiple times, morphed into anger.


    ''''RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!'''' She screamed and rushed towards the third door and crashed through the door, which caused pieces of the broken wooden door to start flying everywhere.


    She looked at the fountain and sniffed the air. Her face slightly rxed after finding out that no one stole water from it, and that is one of the reasons why the voice told Isaac to take a simple sip.


    He would die if he drank too much, and Baba Yaga would notice if someone had drunk too much of it.


    She left the room and turned her hateful-looking red eyes towards the staircase and screamed one more time, ''''KRAAAAAAAAAH!''''


    Isaac, Darth, and the children who were about to reach the first floor flinched after hearing the enraged shout below the staircase.


    They had already heard some sounds before, but this shout was much clearer than anything they had heard previously.


    Isaac opened the door, and in the distance, the reception desk was shown.


    ''''Run!'''' He shouted, and the children started running as fast as they could with the help of their tiny limbs.


    Darth followed after them and started carrying the slowest ones.


    Isaac closed the door and started running after others, who already had over 10 meters lead.


    After the first children reached the reception desk, a loud sound which scared everyone witless appeared.


    *CRASH*


    Isaac slowly turned his head and saw a tall figure appearing from the destroyed door.


    Most of the children had already arrived at the reception desk.


    Darth was carrying two of the youngest children, and after seeing the children stopped to look at the Baba Yaga, he shouted, ''''Leave the hospital, now!''''


    His shout woke everyone from their stupor, and without further ado, they left the reception desk and started running towards the entrance, which was only 10 meters away.


    ''''NO ONE WILL ESCAPE!'''' Baba Yaga screamed and rushed towards Isaac, without her legs even touching the floor; it was like she was floating with the help of her long robes.


    Suddenly, Isaac stopped running, which shocked Baba Yaga. Everyone has always run away from her, and now someone actually didn''t give her the enjoyment of catching the person and getting rid of all hopes that person has.


    Baba Yaga snorted, ''''Suicide? Fine by me!'''' She opened her disgusting jaw wide open, which showed herrge and sharp teeth.


    Isaac turned around and came face to face with therge jaw, but there wasn''t any sign of fear on his face.


    He put his hand forwards, which was holding the silver pistol, and once the Baba Yaga noticed the presence of the gun, she paled and knew that it was dangerous enough to gravely hurt her!


    She closed her jaw and saw the white-haired young man squeezing the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel of the pistol and flew straight towards her torso. After the bullet appeared, the world itself became quiet, like it was scared of the destructive abilities of the bullet!


    But... Baba Yaga had a disgusting grin as she moved her torso out of the way and watched as the bullet flew past her. Her disgusting long nails started moving towards Isaac''s face in hopes of disfiguring him.


    Her face had a victorious smirk because she knew that being able to use such a strong weapon needs an equally strong individual, and the white-haired young man was far from it!


    She expected to see the young man''s despaired face, but instead... She saw a smirk.


    Isaac looked at the notification in front of him with a smirk.


    [Illusionary Shot Used!]


    The bullet which flew past Baba Yaga slowly disappeared, and the terrifying presence, which the bullet carried disappeared to the nothingness.


    Baba Yaga blinked dumbly as her body froze.


    Isaac''s frail arm started bulging, and invisible muscles inside his arm started showing themselves. His shirt''s sleeves got ripped in half, and the Chain Armor was on a breaking point.


    All of that was caused by a single entity.


    The pistol started glowing on a silverish hue, which stopped Baba Yaga in her tracks.


    She couldn''t move even a muscle and could only watch with despair as the pistol red at her.


    Isaac put his finger on the trigger and felt every fiber, every nerve, every sense in his arm screaming to press the trigger!


    And... Without further ado...


    He pressed.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel, and the pistol flew out of Isaac''s hand.


    *SPURT*


    Isaac only saw a rain of blue liquid appearing and his arm turning into a bloody mess.


    His arm all the way to his shoulder was... Gone!


    The bullet, which was of silver color, flew through the air andnded straight on Baba Yaga''s other side of the face, which wasn''t disfigured.


    *SPURT!*


    The bullet made half of her face explode and sent her flying straight towards the staircases.


    ''''AAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHH!'''' Only her scream of agony echoed as she crashed on the wall and started falling down to the underground.

 Chapter 115 - End Of Third Test!

    Darth and the children flinched after the loud sound caused their eardrums to shake.


    They left the hospital not long ago and instantly heard a loud sound, which can only be described as terrifying.


    Even though they are safe, the fear that something might have happened to Isaac is still present in their minds.


    But soon, their faces looked relieved after a familiar white-haired young man was seen running straight towards them, but that relief soon disappeared after they noticed his condition.


    Everywhere Isaac moved, a trail of blue blood followed, while his right arm was gone with half of his armor!


    The children covered their mouths in shock, and some even started sobbing at sight.


    Darth also looked shocked, but not to the extent that he would start crying because he knew that the arm could be restored.


    It can be done with the help of Healing Potions or simply wait for 10 minutes so that his HP will be restored, but the children weren''t aware of it.


    Isaac left the hospital and looked ufortable. While looking at the arm, it was like he could still feel it, and currently, he felt like he was moving the arm recklessly, but nothing was seen because the arm turned into a bloody mist and is currently coloring the walls of the hospital in blue liquid.


    The blue liquid was dripping down from his shoulder, and Isaac decided to take a look at his HP.


    [HP: 21/220 - Broken Chain Armor Effect!]


    ''My Chain Armor Effect was reduced...'' Isaac grimaced. Previously it was 75 HP of protection, but now it was only 50 HP!


    And that wasn''t all... His HP was still reducing.


    [You Lost 1 HP!]


    [You Lost 1 HP!]


    His vision was already getting darker, and at this rate, he will die out of blood loss.


    But then, Darth appeared next to him with a ss bottle with green liquid inside, ''''Drink this, it will stop the bleeding.''''


    Isaac nodded shakily and grabbed it with his left hand, and gulped it down.


    [Healing Potion Used!]


    [+25 HP!]


    Isaac looked at his shoulder and saw that the bleeding had stopped!


    The ss bottle in his hand cracked and disappeared.


    ''''Can you wait for 10 minutes for your HP to be restored?'''' Darth asked, and he was prepared to spend more Healing Potions if Isaac was in a hurry.


    But Isaac nodded and said, ''''I can wait.''''


    Darth nodded and turned around to face the children who were looking at Isaac''s missing arm with a shock.


    ''''He will be fine; no need to worry.'''' He exined with a calm voice.


    ''''B-But, his arm,'''' Lily said with a pale face and felt saddened that Isaac had to sacrifice his arm to save them.


    ''''Just wait for 10 minutes, you will see something magical,'''' Darth said with a mysterious smile, which earned curious looks from the children.


    Isaac turned around to look at the hospital and could feel a terrifying chilling from inside.


    ''''By the way, where is the gun?'''' Darth asked curiously, ''''I have never seen anyone using a pistol, and it must be at least Epic Ranked! Don''t tell me you lost it?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''I didn''t lose it... But, he left.''''


    ''''Eh, left? And who is ''he''?'''' Darth frowned and looked at Isaac, wondering did he hit his head or something.


    Isaac didn''t answer; instead, he looked towards the dark ceiling with a small hole. Once the gun flew out of his hand, it started glowing on silver and floated away.


    Thest thing he heard was the voice''s farewell, ''Kiddo, you are not too bad... Maybe we will see each other one day and maybe that day... You will be strong enough to use me without losing your arm in the process, hahaha!''


    Hisughter caused Isaac to fume in anger, but he still felt grateful to whoever he was.


    ''''S-Shouldn''t we go?'''' Peter asked with a shaky tone, ''''S-She mighte soon!''''


    Darth and Isaac looked at each and nodded, ''''I guess it''s time to leave.''''


    The children looked relieved and full of hope.


    Darth still remembered the path and started showing the path for the children, while Isaac stood up and started slowly walking after them.


    But, after taking a few steps, he heard a bone-chilling voice echoing in his mind, ''Bastard... Don''t think you can escape from my wrath; I remember your scent and face!''


    Isaac turned around to look at the hospital, and a small smirk appeared on his face, ''''I will remember your face as well... Well, at least what''s remaining of it.'''' He turned around and didn''t look back anymore.


    ''BASTARD!'' Her scream caused another smile to appear on Isaac''s face.


    The streemps around the parking lot died down after Isaac and others left, leaving the dark hospital and terrifying entity alone in the darkness.


    Darth and the children reached the end of the spacious cave. There was one path, which leads out of the cave, but there was some kind of stone door blocking the path.


    They looked confused, but after Isaac arrived, sixteen lights lit up above the stone door, and it opened slowly.


    After the stone door opened, they saw another door at the end of the path, but the door was wide open, and a gorgeous garden became visible.


    They curiously entered the path and walked straight towards the garden, which was less than 30 meters away from them.


    The children were the first ones to arrive in the garden, and when it was Darth''s and Isaac''s turn, their bodies froze, and they couldn''t move an inch.


    The children turned around and were confused why they weren''t moving, but their questions got answered soon.


    ''''Congrattions, yer Wraith and Darth, for sessfullypleting the third test.'''' The voice was very gentle and melodious, ''''The children will be safe with us, Gods, but you two have onest test remaining... Good luck.''''


    Darth''s and Isaac''s eyes widened as the door disappeared and the children disappeared from their view.


    The next thing they saw was a very long corridor, reaching to unknown.


    ''''Wait, that''s it?'''' Darth looked enraged, ''''We couldn''t even say goodbye, and they simply threw us out like trash?!''''


    ''''Calm down.'''' Isaac patted his shoulder, which calmed Darth enough to stop his tantrum.


    ''''They know that we are in a hurry and the children will be safe with them.'''' His words made sense, which caused Darth to calm down his emotions.


    After he calmed down, Isaac received a notification, which brought a smile to his face.


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]


    [Your wounds have been healed!]

 Chapter 116 - Final Test.

    *Spurt!*


    Isaac and Darth looked at his right shoulder, which was pulsating weirdly.


    Both their faces grimaced at the disgusting sight, but the next thing almost made them vomit.


    His wound, which was healed with the help of Healing Potion, changed drastically. Inside the wound, it looked like something was crawling like a centipede, but the reason for it was soon discovered.


    His wound soon started bleeding, and pair of fingers appeared from the wound, and soon the whole hand became visible.


    Isaac covered his mouth with his left hand, trying to resist vomiting, but then the wrist became visible, and his arm started growing longer until it returned to the same height as his left arm.


    ''''Fuck, that was disgusting!'''' Darth turned around and almost felt his breakfast about to leave his stomach.


    ''''You don''t have to mention it!'''' Isaac screeched, ''''If it looked disgusting, imagine how it felt!''''


    Darth wiped his saliva from his lips and asked, ''''H-How did it feel?''''


    Isaac''s body trembled as he uttered his words, ''''Well, first of all. It felt like a thousand ants were crawling all over my shoulder, and soon that feeling started spreading on my whole arm, but that wasn''t all! Once the arm appeared, it felt like I was dipping my arm in glue!''''


    Darth''s body trembled, and he quickly pped his cheeks, which caused a visible handprint to appear on both of his cheeks, ''''Enough! I get traumatized, and now I know that losing any of my limbs is fucking terrifying experience!''''


    ''''Yeah... Half of my body felt numb after losing my arm, you know the feeling when you wake up, and your hand feels numb because it was in a bad position for the whole night?''''


    Darth nodded and knew where this was going.


    Isaac pointed at his body and said, ''''Now, imagine that feeling, but in my whole body.''''


    ''''What a nightmare.'''' Darth shuddered and wanted to change the topic of conversation as soon as possible, ''''L-Let''s go, the bitch said that only one test remained.''''


    ''''Don''t call her that. She is Goddess and might make you cursed or some shit.'''' Isaac said and followed after Darth.


    Darth snorted and waved his hand, ''''Who cares. They aren''t even real.''''


    Isaac sighed and scratched his head, ''''I sometimes forget that this is only a game.''''


    ''''Yeah...'''' Darth sighed, ''''It''s way too realistic.''''


    Their footsteps caused rhythmic tapping sound as they were getting further away from the stone door, where they came from.


    While walking, the scenery around the walls slowly changed, and the brownish and greyish walls disappeared, reced by walls, which resembled the color of gold with different kinds of carvings on the wall.


    Isaac and Darth recognized the carvings.


    One of the carvings was carrying a bow, and one was holding a medieval knight shield with a broadsword.


    Some of the carvings had a figure holding a sniper and aiming it towards a ck-robed figure who had skeletons rising from the ground around him.


    Isaac frowned and thought that the ck-robed figure must be Unique ss and a powerful one too.


    Darth saw one of the carvings having a person with wings on his back, like an Angel.


    They saw easily over 100 different sses and figures, and once the carvings ended, they reached their assumed destination.


    Leaving the corridor, they entered a spacious cave-like space with a massiveke in the middle and a tform in the middle of theke.


    Different kinds of flowers and greenery were growing from the walls of the cave, and the light came from an unexpected ce. There was a massive 30-meter radius hole in the ceiling, which showed clearly the moon in the sky, which somehow illuminated the cave in bright colors.


    Isaac and Darth noticed there being 5 different paths leading to this specific cave and... All of them were already filled with different people.


    Each path had two figures each, and after Isaac and Darth appeared, all the paths were taken.


    ''''Darth-chan, Cutie-chan!'''' They turned their heads and saw Queen Diana and King Jonathan standing in front of one of the paths.


    Both of them had small smiles after seeing them appear.


    ''''Guildmaster,'''' Darth said with some relief after seeing familiar faces, but when he looked at the other people, his face grimaced.


    One of the paths had a man with short ck hair and a small ck mask that covered his nose, mouth, and his jaw. His ck robe covered most of his body, but it was still easy to recognize him.


    He was Darkside, and he was currently standing in front of one of the paths with his duo, who had a simr mask covering half of his face and ck robes.


    [Deathsong]


    In thest two paths, both duo''s had simr ck robes and masks.


    They were part of the League of Assassins as well!


    ''''Lucky bastards...'''' Darth clicked his tongue.


    ''''Six people from League of Assassins managed to reach this ce... They must be good?'''' Isaac asked.


    But Darth shook his head, ''''No... They are cowards who aren''t that talented, except Darkside and Deathsong; even though I hate to admit it, those two are fucking strong, but the rest shouldn''t be that strong, so they either used other Duo''s to their advantage and killed them.''''


    Queen Diana and King Jonathan also looked serious.


    *Rumble!*


    Everyone felt a ground shake below them and felt a loud sound appear behind them. They looked behind them and saw a stone door suddenly appearing behind them, which blocked any way out.


    Also, the tform in the middle of theke was changing. Arge and beautiful flower blossomed in the middle of the tform, and once it waspletely blossomed, everyone saw a treasure chest with gold and silver carvings.


    The members of the League of Assassins felt their greediness ignite, and they wanted to get their hands on it!


    Darth took his bow and put two arrows on the bowstring.


    Queen Diana did the same and aimed it straight towards the League of Assassins, while King Jonathan unsheathed his sword and went into a fighting stance.


    The members of the League of Assassins started turning transparent until only an outline of their figures was visible.


    They used Stealth!


    Isaac took his Musket Rifle from the Inventory and kept a close eye on everyone.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Everyone almost fired their weapons after a loud dinging sound appeared.


    It didn''t take long for everyone''s concentration to be distracted by the notifications.


    [Final test of Duo Dungeon Stronglord shall begin!]


    [First Duo to touch the treasure chest will be victorious!]


    [Good luck, yers!]

 Chapter 117 - Treasure Chest Acquired!

    ''''First duo...'''' Isaac murmured and took his fingers from the trigger and strapped the Musket Rifle on his back.


    ''''Mine!'''' A loud shout echoed in the cave as one of the League of Assassins flew over theke andnded on the tform.


    His mask and ck robes couldn''t hide his greediness, and he was only 10 meters away from the flower, which was carrying the golden treasure chest.


    [Soulouf]


    His nametag floated above him in the color of bright red, signaling that he hadn''t only killed a few but instead over dozen!


    ''''Not happening!'''' Darth shouted next to Isaac and fired one of the arrows.


    *SWOOSH*


    The arrow flew through the air andnded in front of Soulouf, which earned a smirk from him.


    ''''You missed!'''' Soulouf shouted with a grin, but then the arrow started glowing.


    ''''DODGE, YOU FUCKING MORON!'''' Darkside screamed with an enraged look at Soulouf''s stupidity.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Soulouf wasn''t with Darkside and others when they confronted Golden Arrow members in Forest of Unknown and didn''t have any idea about explosive arrows!


    *BOOM!*


    Inside the arrow, an explosion happened, which ignited the fuze and caused an even bigger explosion, which caused a hundred shrapnels to fly around.


    Soulouf quickly jumped backward, but it didn''t take long for his body to be simr with a porcupine as dozens of pieces of a broken arrow pierced his body, and the aftermath of the explosion assaulted his figure.


    His robes got ripped in half as his body flew in the air and crashed on the walls of the cave.


    After his body fell down to the ground, it started turning into pixels before itpletely disappeared from the World of White!


    Soulouf''s Duo with a red nametag [Frontshow] grimaced at sight, but then, a notification popped in front of him.


    [Your Duo has died!]


    [You have been disqualified!]


    His eyes widened, and his body started turning into pixels; it didn''t take long for him to disappear as well, leaving confused League of Assassin members behind.


    Everyone had faces of realization and understood something. If your Duo dies, it will also kill you!


    Darkside and Deathsong didn''t dare to make any moves anymore and regrouped with the rest of the League of Assassins members.


    Queen Diana and King Jonathan rushed towards Darth and Isaac; the previous Battle Royale turned into 4vs4.


    Darth counted his arrows and grimaced after only two explosive arrows remained, but he quickly hid his expression so that no one else could use it to their advantage.


    King Jonathan tried to catch his breathing after arriving next to them with Queen Diana, who had sweat trickling down her attractive and mature face.


    Isaac, on the other hand, was looking at the moon that was gazing at them from the sky. He remembered the Moon City, where they were not long ago, and he kept thinking if the Moon City was on the other dimension or in the moon that was on the sky.


    But, he couldn''t see the World of White anywhere from the moon, only the World of Four Seasons.


    He shook his head and got rid of the useless thoughts, and tried to concentrate on the task on hand.


    He heard the discussion between Darth, Queen Diana, and King Jonathan.


    ''''I think we should go for the treasure chest, one of us will go pick it up, and others will guard that person.'''' King Jonathan said.


    ''''But who?'''' Darth asked and knew where this was going.


    ''''I think Diana should; she is highest level and fastest.'''' King Jonathan said with a confident expression and thought that his words made sense.


    But Darth spat on the ground and said, ''''Don''t fuck with me, I am as fast as her if not faster, and remember, we are still rivals, and why should I help you guys just to lose the First Clear?''''


    King Jonathan looked at him and said with slight anger, ''''Do you want League of Assassins to get First Clear instead? We need to work together and have to make a clear choice, which was to let me and Diana be the winners.''''


    Darth''s finger trembled as he put his hands wide open, ''''Wraith and I had to deal with some messed up shit! There is no way we will give up on the First Clear after getting so far!''''


    ''''Darth-chan.'''' Queen Diana opened her mouth and said with slight pain, ''''I am your Guildmaster, and I order you to assist us, this is way more important than mere First Clear; our future depends on this.''''


    Darth looked frustrated and turned his head towards Isaac to apologize, but he didn''t see him anywhere...


    ''''Eh?'''' He opened his mouth in shock and turned towards the tform.


    The sight shocked him!


    Queen Diana and King Jonathan thought that something was wrong. They turned around quickly and widened their eyes in shock.


    A white-haired young man managed to enter the tform without anyone noticing and managed to grab the treasure chest!


    Darkside, Deathsong, and the rest of the League of Assassins members were enjoying seeing them arguing that theypletely ignored the white-haired young man who seemed to be the weakest one!


    Isaac looked at the treasure chest in his arms. The treasure chest itself wasn''t weighing almost anything, but there was something inside that felt like it was heavy, but also light.


    ''''Wraith!'''' King Jonathan screamed and rushed towards the tform with his sword unsheathed from the scabbard.


    Queen Diana quickly went after King Jonathan, but before managing to do that... She was stopped by an individual with green robes.


    She stopped in her tracks and looked saddened, ''''Darth-chan, please don''t.''''


    ''''Sorry, Guildmaster, but we had to deal some serious shit, and we deserve the First Clear!'''' Darth put two arrows on the bowstring and aimed at his Guildmaster.


    Queen Diana sighed and aimed her bow towards Darth. The two individuals with simr robes red at each other and fired the arrows simultaneously!


    On the other side of the cave.


    Darkside and Deathsong screamed in unison, ''''Kill him!''''


    Isaac knew that everyone was after him and the treasure chest, but he was still calmly reading the text in front of him.


    [yer Wraith - Congrattions on acquiring the Treasure Chest!]


    [yer Darth needs to touch the Treasure Chest!]


    [Duo Dungeon Completed 99%]

 Chapter 118 - End Of The Duo Dungeon Saga.

    ''Thought so... the First duo, who touches the treasure chest will be victorious...'' Isaac expected something like this to happen.


    *nk* *nk*


    He turned his head towards the shore and heard loud footstepsing from King Jonathan''s metallic boots, which made a nking noise after each footstep.


    Reaching the end of the drynd, he put all his strength in his newly found agility stats and leaped towards the sky and flew over theke,nding perfectly on the tform, only a dozen meters away from Isaac.


    His sword was already unsheathed, and he talked with a tone that told his seriousness, ''''Wraith, if you give me the treasure chest, I will reward you handsomely.''''


    King Jonathan nced towards another side of the cave and saw Darkside and Deathsong rushing with two other members of the League of Assassins, and they seemed to be in a great hurry, and they will reach the tform in seconds.


    He felt even more anxious after seeing Isaac''s face not changing an expression.


    ''''I am not joking! My family is wealthy, and I can give you enough money for you to live the rest of your lifefortably, but I need that treasure chest!'''' King Jonathan grabbed his sword tighter, and if words won''t help, he had to use force.


    Isaac''s beautiful grey eyes checked King Jonathan''s facial features closely and saw the greed in them; he wanted the treasure chest no matter what!


    ''''Sigh...'''' He sighed and threw the treasure chest on the air.


    Darkside and others reached the tform and saw the treasure chest flying straight towards King Jonathan!


    King Jonathan dropped his sword and put his hands forwards in order to receive the treasure chest. His face showed the greediness and desperate need to get it!


    But then, Isaac grabbed his Musket Rifle from the barrel and pulled it over his shoulder. He aimed it towards the treasure chest and took a deep breath, but exhaled only half of it, then he held his breath, which stabilized the gun andstly... He squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG*


    After firing and the recoil assaulted Isaac''s figure, he still kept the trigger squeezed, until the gun stabilized.


    He only saw smoke leaving the barrel and the bullet hitting the treasure chest.


    King Jonathan widened his eyes because of the sudden sound and saw something hitting the treasure chest, which sent it flying towards a different direction!


    The bullet hit the treasure chest perfectly on the side, which sent it flying sharply towards the left, straight towards Darth!


    Darth leaped backward and dodged pair of arrows, which wasn''t too far from hitting the mark, and once hended, he was about to rush back towards Queen Diana, who seemed very unwilling to keep fighting.


    ''''Darth!'''' But then, he heard Isaac''s shout, and without further ado, he turned around and came face to face with a flying treasure chest!


    In the corner of his eyes, he saw anxious King Jonathan and Darkside, but he also saw Isaac''s calm face while holding the gun, which made him look like a proper sniper.


    Darth smirked and put his hands forwards, and caught the flying treasure chest.


    ''''No!'''' King Jonathan screamed with anger.


    ''''Fuck!'''' Darkside lunged towards Darth and threw his dagger, which was about to touch Darth, but suddenly froze in midair.


    His eyes widened until his body became transparent, and he disappeared from the cave, alongside Deathsong and other League of Assassins.


    King Jonathan saw his body bing transparent, and unwillingness was still present, ''''D-Damn!'''' His screams stopped after he disappeared.


    Queen Diana sighed and saw her body bing transparent as well; she looked at Darth and said, ''''I am sorry, Darth-chan. I will talk with Jonathan and make sure that he won''t harbor any hate towards you two.''''


    Darth sighed and nodded, ''''Sorry, Guildmaster.''''


    Queen Diana innocently waved her hand and smiled with a gentle look, ''''It''s fine... We got greedy and got blinded from our goal... We reached our initial goal, which was to have either ck Arrow or Golden Crown to get the First Clear... And we managed to do that.''''


    Her body became transparent, and her gentle smile was printed inside Darth''s mind forever.


    Isaac jumped over theke and arrived next to Darth.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    The treasure chest in Darth''s hand turned into pixels, which caused a dinging noises and familiar-looking notifications to appear.


    They turned their heads towards the rain of notifications with an exhausted look. After hours of fighting and bncing between life and death... It''s finally over!

    ___


    After all, notifications appeared, Isaac saw a scaly armor in the color of green appearing on his body, while his broken Chain Armor turned into pixels after it finally broke beyond repairs.


    He looked at the armor with fascination and thought that green was a perfect color for camouge.


    Also, the Lizard Scale Armor gives massive 150 HP!


    Darth also had simr Scale Armor underneath his robes, which fit nicely with his green robes.


    ''''Hehe, I passed Guildmaster in level.'''' Darth grinned and looked at the items on his Inventory with excited look.


    Isaac smiled, and there were too many things he received, but he didn''t have time to look at them all.


    When he was about to check the items, the cave trembled once again, and the tform in the middle of theke sank in the water, and the color of theke changed until it was pure white in color.


    They closed their eyes after the bright light appeared out of nowhere, and after the light disappeared, they slowly opened their eyes and saw theke beingpletely different.


    Theke was a massive portal, which showed the Beast Forest.


    Isaac and Darth looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.. Without further ado, they entered the portal and left the Duo Dungeon, where memories, which they will never forget, happened.

 Chapter 119 - Around The Campfire.

    In some random forest.


    Five figures were sitting around a campfire with pitch dark forest around them.


    [Spectre]


    A figure with a nametag Spectre was using a stick to move the wooden logs on the campfire with boredom visible on his face. He had somewhat long brown hair, about to reach his shoulders with lean body stature.


    He was wearing leather armor with scratching marks all around, with some parts of leather armor even missing, especially around his arms.


    At first, he didn''t look anything special, but his real-life identity is quite unique.


    He is Isaac''s big brother, Marvin!


    Four other figures around the campfire were his delinquent friends, and all of them had some resemnces. Their hairs were quite delinquent-like, with some even having mohawks and red hair.


    Their ears had holes for ear piercings, but White Online doesn''t allow real-life items to be teleported into the game.


    ''''I am bored!'''' One of Marvin''s friends shouted with an annoyed look. He had short red hair with somewhat attractive face and broad shoulders.


    He was wearing simr leather armor, which was in better condition than Marvin''s.


    Nametag floated above him, which had a tinge of orange.


    [Gerberys]


    ''''Agreed!'''' Another one shouted. He had a mohawk in the color of orange and green with ck eyes and full lips.


    His nametag was white, with a tinge of orange on the sides.


    [Foenix]


    Marvin shrugged, ''''We have already reached level 10, so let''s just finish that fucking dungeon first.''''


    ''''What are we waiting for?'''' Gerberys said and stood up. His tall figure caused a massive shadow to ovep over everyone, ''''After tomorrow, we need to go again to school; I am not sure about you guys, but I want to do other things than stay in fucking forests!'''' He kicked a stone on the ground, which flew straight towards a man with blond hair and strikingly attractive facial features.


    The man with blond hair caught the stone and looked at Gerberys with annoyance, ''''Hey, Niko, be fucking careful!''''


    ''''Don''t call me by my real name.'''' Gerberys pointed at him and said, ''''My name is Gerberys.''''


    ''''Pfft.'''' Everyone around the campfire snickered, which earned a snort from Gerberys and angry stomp to the ground.


    The man with blond hair threw the stone on the campfire and watched as the stone slowly changed colors until it was burnt on the sides.


    [Lionsoul]


    His ingame name is Lionsoul.


    Thest figure, who had been silent so far, was currently looking at his Interface with a frown and almost imaginary question marks popping above him.


    He had short ck hair with his average-looking face morphed into a pondering face. He was wearing simr leather armor as the rest are, but he had green robes and a wooden cane in the color of green.


    [IDontWantToBeHealer]


    Before entering the game, they threw a coin, who was going to be the healer, and he lost.


    A healer is important for a proper party, and they knew it.


    With his help, they managed to ovee all odds and reach level 10 fairly quickly.


    ''''Ins, what are you looking at?'''' Marvin asked from the healer, whose real name is Ins; they decided to call him that because his name was too long.


    ''''Trying to choose my first skill, but these don''t make any sense!'''' Ins scratched his head with annoyance.


    ''''Oh. what skills, maybe we can help to choose.'''' Lionsoul said with interested expression.


    Everyone else also felt more energetic after something to do appeared. They had spent almost 30 minutes in the same position, and to them, it was a nightmare.


    The reason was simple, they don''t know how to navigate in the dark forest and might wander identally to a nest of some wild animal who has night vision.


    It would be suicidal to wander without a destination.


    Ins nodded and said, ''''First skill is something called Heal of Unity, like what the fuck is that supposed to mean?''''


    ''''Didn''t you look at the description?'''' Gerberys asked.


    ''''It says, Heal of Unity, be the person who unites the team.'''' Ins narrowed his eyes to slits and shouted, ''''What the fuck is that supposed to mean?!''''


    Everyone else also scratched their heads in confusion.


    ''''What about rest?'''' Marvin asked.


    Ins sighed and scratched his head, ''''They are confusing as fuck; the second one is Healer of Support; it will let me support the team to bring best of their ability.''''


    ''''That sounds alright,'''' Foenix said, and everyone nodded as well; at least it sounded better than the first one.


    ''''Third one, Healer''s Rage, don''t underestimate the Healer''s desire to protect his/her patients.''''


    ''''Combat ability?'''' Gerberys guessed, but everyone looked at each other with questioning looks.


    ''''I have never heard of any Healer having abat-rted ability.'''' Lionsoul said and rubbed his forehead, ''''I have heard rumors about everyone having their own unique skills to choose, and I guess it''s correct.''''


    ''''Which one will I choose?'''' Ins asked and leaned on the third skill, but he wanted an opinion of his friends.


    ''''The second one seems best for teamwork,'''' Foenix said, and everyone nodded.


    ''''But, the third one seems most mysterious one, it might not bebat-rted, instead give some boost to the person, which makes his/herbat prowess skyrocket.'''' Marvin guessed.


    While pondering what to choose, a dinging noise echoed in the forest, and a message appeared in the sky.


    Marvin and others turned their heads towards the sky and saw majestic-looking words lighting the sky in bluish colors.


    [Regional Announcement: yer Wraith and yer Darth (Guild: ck Arrow) have achieved First Clear of the Duo Dungeon Stronglord. Recorded in Stronglord Hall of Fame of Heroes!]


    ''''Wow.'''' Lionsoul eximed with an impressed expression, ''''I don''t know much about the game, but I know for a fact that getting First Clear isn''t an easy achievement.''''


    ''''It seems we are quite far from the top yers.'''' Marvin sighed and stood up, which earned raised eyebrows from his friends.


    ''''What are we waiting for?'''' He grinned and nced at the words onest time, ''''Let''s goplete that dungeon and start catching up on the top yers.''''


    ''''Aye!'''' Everyone said in unison and stood up from their wooden logs.


    Ins looked at the choices in front of him and decided which one to choose.


    He pressed the second one and saw notifications popping up.


    ''''Ins, youing?'''' Marvin turned around and asked, while everyone else had already entered the dark forest and managed to look in front of them with the help of a torch in their hands, which barely lit up the route.


    Ins nodded and ran after them, ''''Come on, the one who finishes the dungeonst will be called a faggot for a whole week!''''

 Chapter 120 - Duo Dungeon Ranking.

    The entrance of the Duo Dungeon Stronglord was bustling.


    yers kept entering the Dungeon, and some were teleported away once in a while after they gave up.


    After most of the Top Guilds and Parties entered the Duo Dungeon, it was time for the solo yers, who had to team up with other solo yers topete in the Duo Dungeon.


    Seeing that no one hadpleted the Duo Dungeon even after five hours gave everyone hope, but soon that was crushed once a dinging noise echoed in the vast forest and a message appeared in the sky.


    *Ding*


    Everyone turned their heads towards the sky.


    [Regional Announcement: yer Wraith and yer Darth (Guild: ck Arrow) have achieved First Clear of the Duo Dungeon Stronglord. Recorded in Stronglord Hall of Fame of Heroes!]


    The yers at first were silent until they erupted in shocked screams.


    The stone table next to the entrance of the Dungeon glowed, and names popped up.

    ''''I-It''spleted!''''


    ''''Darth is ck Arrow''s Core Member, but who is this Wraith?!''''


    ''''Goddamn it! ck Arrow is only for Archers and for Master sses! I can''t join it, fuck!''''


    ''''This Wraith doesn''t seem to be part of ck Arrow; who is he? Solo yer?''''


    Shouts of shock echoed in the spacious space as the yers tried to discover Isaac''s identity.


    Suddenly, two figures appeared at the entrance of the Duo Dungeon, and their appearance made yers shocked.


    The first one was a handsome man with blond hair and Knight''s outfit.


    ''''Arghhhh!'''' King Jonathan clenched his fists angrily and tried to calm his rising anger, but then, he felt a soft hand on his shoulder.


    He turned around and saw Queen Diana''s gentle eyes gazing at him, ''''Jonathan, it was unfair to force them to help us to begin with.''''


    ''''We needed that First Clear!'''' King Jonathan shouted and pped the hand away, ''''Your Guild earned more from this! Your Guild''s name is on the fucking message and on the stone table, while there is no sign of my Guild!''''


    ''''That''s not true.'''' Queen Diana lowered her head and said, ''''Everyone knew that our Guilds worked together... The yers who can''t join ck Arrow because their sses are wrong wille to your Guild.''''


    King Jonathan tried to calm his breathing and wiped his sweat, ''My family will be so angry...''


    Queen Diana sighed and knew the pressure King Jonathan had.


    His family is vastly different from hers. His family is very old-fashioned, and a second-ce is never an option for them.


    Queen Diana''s family is moreid back and only hopes that she is doing well and bes a sessful woman.


    ''''Guildmaster!'''' She heard a shout, and soon a figure arrived next to her.


    It was GreenFlower who had a small smile, ''''We did it! We got the First Clear!''''


    Queen Diana smiled slightly and nodded, ''''Darth-chan and Cutie did well.''''


    The yers around the Duo Dungeon watched as more yers were thrown out of the Dungeon.


    Darkside and Deathsongnded next to King Jonathan with faces full of anger.


    King Jonathan grabbed the hilt of his sword, ready to cut them down if needed.


    ''''Hmph!'''' Darkside patted the dust from his clothes and angrily looked at King Jonathan, ''''I will make you losers regret it!''''


    King Jonathan snorted and was about to argue back.


    But then, everyone''s attention was captured by a bright light that appeared in front of the Duo Dungeon.


    Soon, the outlines of the two figures became visible, and everyone already had a slight guess who they were.


    King Jonathan sighed and still felt slight anger towards them, but it didn''t cloud his judgment any longer.


    Queen Diana grabbed her bow and red at the yers around the Duo Dungeon. The rest of the members of ck Arrow soon arrived next to her, while members of Golden Crown came to stand behind Jonathan.


    Darkside and Deathsong red at the bright light, and their members of League of Assassins were staying on the sidelines but ready to assist them if needed.


    The bright light disappeared, and two figures appeared.


    Isaac and Darth looked around with shrugs.


    They both took a pearl from the Inventory and disappeared in a sh of lightning.


    Everyone looked at the sight with shocked looks, until Darkside screamed, ''''They received Teleportation Pearls!''''


    Queen Diana sighed in relief and smirked towards Darkside, ''''Darkside-Kun, aren''t we done here?''''


    Darkside red at her with a murderous expression, but he unwillingly turned around and stomped away with Deathsong.


    Their faces showed their anger, and their actions told a lot about the future, they are far from done, and they won''t stop until they are the top Guild in Stronglord.


    The yers who were left started murmuring between each other.


    Guild War doesn''t seem to be far away, and it could start from a single collision.


    Most of the yers still nned to enter the Duo Dungeon in hopes of bing the second Duo to finish it!


    Members of ck Arrow and Golden Arrow decided to go rest for now and try again the next day.


    They have a huge advantage; after all, they will share intel and decide the easiest route to finish the Duo Dungeon and tomorrow... All ten spots might get filled.


    Members of Golden Crown are more than motivated to get their Guild name on the number two spot!


    King Jonathan looked at the entrance of the Duo Dungeon with clenched fists and nced at the second ce. If he can''t be first, he has to be second and hope that one day he will surpass the number one.


    ''''Do you want to try one more time?'''' Queen Diana appeared next to him and asked with her long eyshes gently moving.


    King Jonathan looked at her and asked, ''''Are you tired?''''


    Queen Diana smiled and shook her head, ''''I received a message from Darth-chan, and he said that he surpassed my level...'''' She crossed her arms and smugly smiled, ''''I will have to surpass him and rub it on his face! I swear his face will look funny!''''


    King Jonathan chuckled and scratched his cheek, ''They have to deal with this day after day? I am starting to feel bad for them.''


    The moon shone on the sky as two figures entered the Duo Dungeon one more time!


    After more and more yers were leaving the game and the forest.


    After hundreds of failed attempts from other yers.


    Two new names appeared on the ranking list.

 Chapter 121 - Isaac’s Body Transformation.

    Isaac opened his eyes and saw himself standing in the middle of his rented room. The sturdy bed was in the same ce as he left, but this time the nket looked different, without any wrinkles or dirt.


    It looked brand new with a smooth silk texture. Isaac touched it with his palm and felt the smoothness grabbing onto his hand.


    ''''Did Be buy this for me?'''' He asked aloud and decided to ask about itter.


    He put Interface in front of him and pressed a few buttons, which made the Lizard Scale Armor to disappear, leaving him only in his t-shirt, which was on rags and leather pants.


    Isaac looked at his destroyed t-shirt with a frown and remembered that he hadn''t bought any clothes, which should be an obvious thing to do, but his mindset has been that this world is only a game and that clothes wouldn''t get dirtied like in the real world.


    But, now, he took a sniff of the shirt and grimaced after a terrifying scent assaulted his nostrils. The scent at first is impossible to be smelled, but when one concentrates on it... It is obvious that it needs either washed or, in this case... Burned.


    He grabbed the shirt and ripped it off, destroying itpletely, without any intention of using it again. He threw it on his bed and looked at his leather pants, which was also dirtied, but it could still be used.


    But, after he was done checking out his pants, he noticed something miraculous.


    ''''W-What...'''' Isaac touched his stomach and trailed his finger on it. Previously, his stomach has always been smooth and soft, without any signs of muscles or abs that would make him look like a proper man.


    This time... There was an outline of abs forming!


    It was barely noticeable, but Isaac could feel it clearly.


    ''''2... 4... 6...'''' He counted the packs and stopped at 6.


    His face showed his disbelief, and without further ado, he rushed to the bathroom to look at him in the mirror.


    In the mirror, he saw a familiar-looking white-haired young man with grey eyes. His white eyebrows and eyshes looked extremely unique, which gave him an ethereal kind of beauty, andbined with his smooth pale face and soft lips, it was something rarely seen.


    But, his focus wasn''t on it. Instead, he turned his gaze at his torso, and indeed... Outline of abs was forming.


    Isaac looked at his frail-looking arms and touched both of them; he expected to feel nothing but softness, but instead... There was something explosive hidden inside.


    He clenched his right fist and tried to flex his muscles, which he has done countless times, hoping to have muscles, but to no avail.


    But this time, something different happened as a tiny bulge appeared, which soon disappeared.


    A smile appeared on Isaac''s face as he looked at his arm and finally at the mirror, ''''Finally...'''' He sighed and lowered his face.


    He felt happy for about one minute until realization dawned.


    This was only a game and not real life, but it was still better than nothing; at least he tried to convince himself to believe.


    Isaac left the bathroom and went into his bedroom to lie down on the bed,


    He just remembered that he has no spare clothing after destroying the shirt, which means that he has to call someone to buy him clothes, or he could use the Lizard Scale Armor as clothing, but it doesn''t cover his arms, which would leave his arms visible and everyone would know that he wasn''t wearing a shirt.


    That kind of humiliation he won''t allow himself to suffer.


    ''''Maybe I should ask help from Be?'''' Isaac bit his finger and decided, ''Damn... I will think about itter.'' He ruffled his smooth white hair and sat up.


    ''''Interface...'''' He murmured, and a familiar Interface popped up.


    He decided to assign his 30 Stat Points he received from leveling up.


    His eyes lingered on the [STR]


    ''''Damn it...'''' He pressed it forcefully and assigned all 30 Stat Points on it.


    ''''Please... Goddamn work!'''' He hoped and pressed [ept]


    [STR: 20 -> 50]


    [SP: 30 -> 0]


    Isaac waited and waited for the dinging noise to appear, which would crush his dreams, but... Nothing happened.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac turned to look at the Interface and widened his eyes in shock.

    ''''Ahhh...'''' Isaac moaned in satisfaction and felt strength filling his body, something he had never felt before.


    After the moment ended, he finally saw the [MAX]


    ''''Max... How the hell is 50 max?'''' Isaac rubbed his forehead and remembered the pistol''s words.


    ''Young one... Fountain of Life will change your life forever... Even if you can only take a sip because your mortal body can''t handle more, it will still give you incredible benefits, but also... It will remove your strength issue and will help you guys escape easier.''


    ''''Strength issue...'''' He murmured aloud and started having a hunch that something wasn''t right, ''''Since young... It was simply impossible for me to increase my strength over a certain point...''''


    He remembered every word the Silver Pistol said.


    ''''Do I have some unknown illness... Like Winter Illness?'''' Isaac sighed and looked at the white ceiling, ''''Did my illness get transferred to the game as well... No, that would be stupid... Luna doesn''t seem to have Winter Illness in the game.''''


    ''Tomorrow I will visit Luna in the hospital... I have to talk with Richard!''


    He made up his mind and pressed [Log Out] button.


    His figure, which was without a shirt, soon disappeared from the World of White after a long day of bncing between life and death!

 Chapter 122 - Sudden Change.

    Isaac groggily opened his eyes and took the VR Helmet off. He put it gently on the bed, and once he sat up, he again felt his numb muscles, but this time something was different.


    ''''Hmm..?'''' He blinked dumbly and rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.


    Once he was done rubbing his eyes, he opened them wide and touched his feet, or more precisely, at his pants.


    The folded edge at the hem of the bottom of his pants seemed slightly different because it seemed that the pants had shrunk, because it didn''t reach his ankles anymore, instead it was a few centimeters short.


    ''''Weird... I don''t remember them being this short...'''' He scratched his white hair and stood straight, only to feel his legs screaming in pain.


    Pain, which is usually felt during growth periods.


    Isaac frowned and put the VR Helmet back on the box, and stuffed it inside his wardrobe.


    He walked past the mirror but soon came to a stop after seeing another strange sight.


    He turned around to look at the mirror and walked straight in front of it.


    Usually, during mornings, he either identally or purposely looks at the mirror, and the sight is usually identical, but now... He had an obvious feeling that something was wrong.


    He put his hand 0n the top of his head and measured it with the top end of the mirror.


    Isaac''s confused face soon turned into a shocked one. He quickly rushed towards his desk and went through all the shelves and cupboards until he finally found what he was looking for.


    It was measuring tape!


    He went back towards the mirror and measured the height of the mirror and had to stretch his hands as far as he could and finally measured it as 195cm.


    It was hanging in the wall, which was slightly above the floor, and that made measuring it slightly difficult, but he managed to do it, and with the help of the measuring tape, he measured his own height.


    He did it multiple times until he came to a conclusion... He got the same result multiple times.


    Isaac dropped the measuring tape down to the floor and covered his face in disbelief.


    ''''I-I have grown...'''' He murmured with disbelief until he roared inughter, ''''Hahahaha, fuck yes!'''' His maniac-soundingughter echoed in the room as he started punching the air in front of him.


    His height has been around 170cm as long as he could remember, but now...


    His height was 175cm!


    He had grown 5 cm out of nowhere, and after Isaac''s happiness started to subdue, he also remembered how weird it is to suddenly grow so much, and his family will definitely see the difference.


    ''''Weird... First, something unbelievable happened in the game... Now also in real-life...'''' He got curious and lifted his shirt, but the result was a disappointment.


    His smooth stomach, without any fat or muscles, became visible. He sighed in disappointment after hoping to see any signs of having abs, but after he thought about it deeper, he thought it was silly of him.


    He took the measuring tape and stuffed it back into his cab, and left the room with a smile, which clearly told his happiness.


    After entering the corridors, he was about to turn towards the stairs, but curiously he went towards Marvin''s door and knocked a couple of times.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    ''''Marvin?'''' After receiving no answer for ten seconds, he put his hand on the doorknob and twisted it until the sound of the door about to open was heard.


    *nk*


    He peeked inside the room after the door was slightly opened, he expected to see an empty room without any signs of Marvin, but instead, he saw a tall, brown-haired individual lying on the bed with a VR Helmet on his head.


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac looked surprised, but then he closed the door and thought it was quite a weird sight of seeing Marvin lying down on the bed without moving.


    He and his friends are rascals who can''t stay in the same spot for longer than a minute.


    Isaac had a hunch that he would meet Marvin and his friends soon.


    With light steps, he walked down the stairs and reached the living room, with food already ready on the table.


    Isabe, who was putting tes on the table, saw Isaac entering the living room, ''''Isaac! Do you want to help...'''' Her words got stuck in her throat as she narrowed her eyes and saw something unusual about Isaac.


    ''''Help you with tes? Sure.'''' Isaac rushed towards the kitchen, leaving the confused Isabe alone who was tapping her chin with a suspicious gaze, ''''He has changed...''''


    Maxwell stood up from the couch and went towards the dining table, and saw Isabe standing with a thoughtful look.


    ''''Something wrong?'''' He asked after arriving next to her, and finally, Isabe woke up from her stupor.


    ''''Isaac seems different.'''' Isabe said, ''''He seemed... Taller.''''


    ''''He might be growing, that''s good sign; he has been ufortable with his height for a long time.'''' Maxwell said and sat down on the chair.


    Isabe sighed and heard footsteps approaching.


    Isaac appeared once again and put a couple of tes down on the table, but then he felt a soft hand touching his head.


    ''''Y-You have grown so much!'''' Isabe cried out with a shocked look. She was standing next to Isaac, and they used to be around same height, but now she could easily tell that Isaac is much taller than before.


    ''''Growth period,'''' Isaac replied and sat down on the chair.


    ''''That''s right.'''' Maxwell nodded and started taking food from different tes, ''''This is a sign that Isaac is reaching adulthood.''''


    Isabe covered her mouth in shock, ''''N-No... I-Isaac, I have a question.''''


    ''''Yes, mother?'''' Isaac grabbed a sandwich and stuffed it inside his mouth after being hungry again, after not eating at all since morning.


    Isabe was about to ask if he was being stolen away by some vixen, but then she shook her head and thought that it was silly.


    Isaac and Maxwell looked at her and shrugged.


    ''''Oh right.'''' Isaac wiped his mouth with a napkin after finishing the sandwich.


    Maxwell and Isabe, who just sat down, looked at him with a curious look.


    ''''I will go visit the hospital tomorrow.'''' He said without nning to tell the real reason for his visit.


    ''''Is everything alright?'''' Maxwell asked with a serious look but sighed in relief after seeing Isaac shaking his head.


    ''''I will go visit Richard and also... I will go buy a new VR Helmet.''''


    *nk*


    Maxwell dropped his fork identally after hearing Isaac''s words; he turned his shaky eyes towards Isaac and asked, ''''Y-You will continue ying?''''


    ''''A-Am I not allowed to?'''' Isaac asked while scratching his cheek. He thought that his father expected him to join hispany as an intern and felt disappointed.


    ''''Of course, you are allowed to!'''' Maxwell stood up and said, ''''Isaac, follow me... I have something to show you.''''


    ''''What is it?'''' Isaac stood up with a questioning look while Isabe tilted her head with imaginary question marks floating above her head.


    ''''You don''t have to buy a new VR Helmet....'''' Maxwell smirked and said, ''''I have one for you.''''

 Chapter 123 - Shrouded In Mystery.

    Isaac followed behind Maxwell as they entered his study.


    It had one desk, filled with stacks of papers, surrounding a monitor, which was turned off.


    A small chandelier hung from the ceiling, and beautiful golden curtains were covering the windows.


    Isaac has rarely visited this room, and it isn''t a wonder that his father likes to stay here.


    It wasfy with a bookshelf with easily over a hundred books and an antique couch, which looked brand new.


    A carpet on the floor was made of soft fur, which made Isaac''s pain around his feet get lessened because he didn''t have to stand on the hard floor anymore.


    Maxwell stopped in front of a painting and looked at it with a soft look.


    Isaac stopped next to him and also looked at the painting, ''Are they... My grandparents?'' He thought to himself, but his answers got answered by Maxwell.


    ''''Those are your grandparents, but they might look slightly different when you meet them.'''' He said.


    ''''When was this picture taken? You look at least a few years younger in it.'''' Isaac noticed that his grandparents looked older than they were supposed to be, and if the painting was taken when Maxwell was at the age as he was in the painting, they shouldn''t be that old.


    Maxwell wryly smiled, ''''I told the painter to make me look younger... I have noticed that I am growing older, and I still want to feel youthful, even if it has to be done by small tricks like being painted as the younger version.''''


    ''''Oh...'''' Isaac looked at his father''s features, and he looked like he was in his early 30s, even though he is nearing his 40s.


    Maxwell had enough of reminiscing and took the painting off the wall. He put it very gently on the ground, trying not to harm the painting in any way.


    Isaac was surprised to see a safe and wondered what was so special hidden there and why his father told him that he didn''t have to buy a new VR Helmet.


    Maxwell opened the safe and took a cardboard box from there; he treated it like it was his baby, carefully doing every movement.


    He turned around and put it down on the couch; he wiped his sweat and touched the cardboard box tenderly, ''''This is... Yours from now on.''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac furrowed his brows and pondered what was so special with the ordinary-looking cardboard box.


    Maxwell smiled mysteriously after seeing Isaac''s confused look.


    He was about to close the safe, but then he nced at the wooden box and saw Isaac''s face with the corner of his eyes, ''This shall stay hidden for now.'' He closed the safe and tapped the key code until a clinking sound came, signaling that the safe was sessfully locked.


    He put the painting back on the wall to cover the safe.


    ''''Before you leave, I have something to discuss with you.'''' Maxwell sat down on his office chair and turned the monitor on.


    Isaac sat down next to the cardboard box and sneakily nced at it but didn''t see inside because it was tightly shut with tape.


    Maxwell saw it and sneakily smiled. He started typing on the keyboard.


    The calm and rhythmic sound of Maxwell''s fingers tapping on the keys was heard in the study.


    Isaac didn''t look impatient; instead, he waited calmly while looking at the opposite side of the room, where the bookshelf was located.


    ''''Alright, son.'''' Maxwell turned the monitor to face Isaac, and he could finally see what it was about.


    The monitor showed a picture of two individuals, one had ck hair, and the other one had white hair.


    The picture was poorly taken, and could barely see the facial features of two, but it was clear that the white-haired one had very exquisite-looking facial features, even though they weren''t that clear.


    Thement section underneath the picture was bustling; many asked who were they, and even more asked why was the picture so popr.


    But then, one of thements said those two were the ones who got First Clear of Duo Dungeon Stronglord, which caused the forum to skyrocket in fame.


    Maxwell tapped the wooden desk and said, ''''Is it you?''''


    Isaac scratched his head and recognized him and Darth with ease, ''''Yes.''''


    ''''You got First Clear?'''' He asked and crossed his fingers.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Yes...''''


    Maxwell turned the monitor around and scrolled down thements, and chuckled, ''''I am proud of you, but with famees pressure.''''


    ''''Pressure?'''' Isaac frowned.


    ''''Yes, you are ssified as a pro yer from now on, and everyone will be on the lookout for a yer called Wraith.'''' Maxwell saw thements, which told about the names of those individuals, and it wasn''t surprising that his son, Isaac received most of the attention.


    His white hair screamed to be looked at, while Darth looked low-key.


    ''''Be careful, son,'''' Maxwell said seriously and turned off the monitor.


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''Yes, I might not look like it... But, I can take care of myself.'''' He said with a serious tone, which told everyone that he didn''t want to be treated as a kid, no more.


    Maxwell smiled and stood up from his chair to give Isaac a proper pat on the shoulder, ''''I know, son. Your mother and sister might be overprotective, and even I might seem like one, but I have always known that you didn''t need our protection. You are entering your adulthood, and from now on, you have to prove to everyone that you will be fine by yourself... Especially towards your mother and your sister.''''


    Isaac stood up and hugged his father, who was surprised to receive a sudden hug.


    ''''Father, thank you.'''' Isaac stopped hugging and grabbed the cardboard box, ''''I will be the person you and I can be proud of.''''


    Maxwell smiled, ''''I know...'''' He watched as Isaac left his study, ''His future is far from simple... In the future... He might be a person... Who is shrouded in mystery.''


    He opened the curtains slightly and looked at the sky, where snowkes were about to fall, ''''Snowkes....''''

 Chapter 124 - Chocolate.

    Next Day.


    Isaac was standing in front of a mirror with a casual outfit, which consisted of a long-sleeved shirt in the color of ck and grey sweatpants, which wasn''t reaching all the way to his ankles; after his sudden growth, all his clothes were slightly too short.


    Looking at the mirror one more time, he turned around to grab a wristwatch from the cab, which was in the color of ck with slight shades of silver, definitely an expensive one.


    His gaze lingered on the cardboard box, which he left next to his bed after he left his father''s study after their talk.


    He didn''t open it yet, but he ns to do it after he finishes his visit to the hospital... And he has ns on visiting certain someone.


    ''''Sigh...'''' Isaac grabbed his jacket, snow boots, and mittens from the chair and left his room.


    He went straight downstairs, where his family was already having their breakfast.


    ''''Honey, you are going?'''' Isabe stood up and walked towards him with a gentle smile.


    ''''Yes, mom.'''' He replied and put his snow boots on and tied theces tightly.


    ''''Michael will take you there,'''' Isabe said and looked outside the window, where a man in a ck suit was already waiting with a ck sedan.


    Isaac nodded, and once he finished tying his snow boots''ces, he wore his jacket and opened the front door.


    ''''I will be backter in the afternoon.'''' He said and was about to leave, but then Isabe grabbed his cheeks and did a small peck on his forehead.


    ''''Take care!'''' She said and signaled towards Michael with her eyes that if Isaac gets hurt, it is his fault.


    Michael scratched his neck and wryly smiled.


    Isaac sighed and nced at Maxwell, who was sipping his coffee with a small wry smile visible on his face.


    ''''Take care, mom.'''' He said and finally left the mansion with quick steps before his mother had any idea of stopping him from going.


    ''''Yo,'''' Isaac said to Michael after reaching the car.


    ''''Hello, young master,'''' Michael said and opened the door to the backseat.


    Isaac entered the car and put mittens down to the seat.


    Michael closed the door and entered the driver''s seat.


    Isaac heard the car''s engine starting, which was very quiet, the only way to know that the engine started was after the car started moving.


    It didn''t take long for the car to leave the mansion''s premises.


    The car didn''t shake or tremble, it was very smooth, and Isaac almost felt like he wasn''t in a car, instead still sitting in his own room.


    The car left the Neighborhood, and Michael smoothly drove the car towards the streets, which were already full of people of different ages about to start their daily routines.


    Some were about to open their shops, while some were hanging out with their friends, it didn''t matter if they were of old age or still at the age of school.


    Isaac looked outside the window, with his nose almost touching the ss. What he noticed was that most of the people''s gazes were stuck on the screens, which had news of White Online, and it seemed that everyone''s conversation topic was about that game.


    Michael also noticed the same phenomenon, but he wasn''t as interested in it.


    Isaac turned his gaze away and then remembered something; he facepalmed and said quickly, ''''Michael, can we stop at... Flower shop or something.''''


    ''''Why?'''' Michael looked at the front mirror and saw Isaac facepalming himself.


    Isaac sighed and thought it wouldn''t hurt anyone to tell him the real reason for his visit, ''''I will visit Luna, and I would like to buy something for her. I am disturbing her rest after all.''''


    ''''Oh, Luna?'''' Michael frowned and didn''t remember the name, but it sounded girl''s name, and instantly when that thought surfaced into his mind, his hand trembled, and only with great self-discipline, he managed to keep the car straight and not cause any incidents.


    ''''Any ideas what I should buy? Flowers, candy, girl stuff?'''' Isaac asked after having no idea what he should buy for a girl of the same age as him.


    Michael tightened his cor and coughed a few times to get hisposure back, ''''Well... I think since she can''t leave the hospital, she would like something sweet, which she can''t get from the hospital, so maybe chocte?''''


    ''''Good idea.'''' Isaac gave thumbs up and continued, ''''Go to the nearby store.''''


    Michael nodded and thought to himself, ''I won''t be punished for being an aplice... Right? M-Maybe I shouldn''t tell his mother the reason for his visit... I still like my job.''


    Soon, they reached a nearby convenience store.


    Isaac opened the door and exited the car, but then Michael opened the window and said, ''''Young master, I can go buy one, stay in the car.''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''No need, keep the car running. I will return soon.''''


    ''''B-But...'''' Michael tried to change his mind, but Isaac had already entered the store.


    *Ring*


    ''''Wee.'''' A youngdy with long brown hair said after hearing a bell ringing, signaling that someone had entered the shop. She was currently arranging the items on the shelves.


    ''''Hello.'''' She stopped her movement after hearing a very pleasant sounding voice, she turned her head and was shocked to see a white-haired individual stopping in front of the shelf, with different kinds of candies, but his focus was on the choctes.


    ''What would she like...'' Isaac pondered and went through all the selections.


    ''''E-E-Excuse me.'''' He turned his head and saw the youngdy standing stiffly with rose-colored cheeks.


    ''''Yes?'''' Isaac asked with half of his attention still on the choctes.


    ''''N-N-Need any help? Y-You are the only customer currently, so I might be able to give you some assistance.'''' She said with a stutter at first; before she could regain herposure, she walked next to Isaac and looked at the chocte collection.


    ''''Searching for chocte?'''' She asked.


    ''''Yes, not sure what to choose.'''' Isaac scratched his soft white hair and then remembered that the person standing next to him was a female around the same age as him.


    She should be able to know which one to choose.


    ''''Which chocte would be good for a girl?'''' He decided to ask.


    ''''F-For girl? L-Like, for girlfriend?'''' She asked with narrowed eyes.


    Isaac wryly smiled and shook his head, ''''For a friend, she is stuck in hospital and I thought that she would like something sweet.''''


    ''''A-Ah, right.'''' She tapped her chin and went through the choctes; before her gaze got locked on one of them, she grabbed one of them with a small smile and gave it to Isaac.


    ''''I am sure she would enjoy strawberry; it is one of my favorite ones.'''' She replied with a confident expression.


    Isaac looked at it and smiled, ''''Thank you.'''' They went to the cashier, and Isaac paid for the chocte and left the store afterward.


    After he was gone, the youngdy took her phone and started texting her friends.


    [Moe: Isaac visited the store I was working at!!!! Inform the Elders of Cult of White! I have videotape in my possession and grave news!]

 Chapter 125 - Favorite.

    A ck sedan arrived in front of the Hospital, and a white-haired young man left the car and said, ''''Michael, wait here.''''


    ''''Young master, your mother told me toe with you,'''' Michael said urgently and was about to open the car''s door.


    ''''No, stay here.'''' Isaac said sternly and continued, ''''Please.''''


    Michael sighed and removed his hand from the door''s handle, ''''Please, return quickly.''''


    Isaac nodded and closed the door. He turned around to face therge building in front of him.


    He looked at his hand and the strawberry chocte on his hand.


    Soon, he reached the door''s leading to the hospital''s lounge and opened them, but he didn''t enter yet. Instead, he kept the doors open and stepped aside.


    Because an old man in a wheelchair was about to leave the hospital but couldn''t open the doors.


    ''''T-Thank you, young man.'''' He said with gratitude and with a hoarse tone. He used his wrinkly and skinny arms to move the wheels of the wheelchair forwards and soon left the building.


    Isaac nodded and entered the building, but before that, he nced at the old man, who was moving away at a slow, but steady pace.


    Soon, he turned his gaze away and went straight towards the receptionist, which had a couple of nurses on standby.


    The first nurse, who was using aputer, had a short auburn-colored pixie-style haircut with adorable facial features.


    The second nurse, who was the first one to notice a white-haired young man approaching, had long blond hair with a petite body and mature-like face, which made her look like the older sister of others.


    She tapped the first nurse''s shoulder gently and politely smiled towards Isaac, who had already reached the receptionist desk.


    The first nurse turned her gaze away from theputer and widened her eyes in a slight shock after seeing the white-haired young man.


    ''''Hello, what is your purpose of visit?'''' The second nurse asked, and Isaac saw her nametag, which was stuck on her chest.


    [Sofia]


    ''''I am here visiting a patient,'''' Isaac replied and looked at the other nurse who had nametag [Maria] on her chest.


    ''''Alright, what are the patient''s name and your rtion to the patient?'''' Maria said and was ready to start typing on the keyboard.


    ''''Her name is Luna, and I am her friend,'''' Isaac said and soon saw both Maria''s and Sofia''s faces turning into a slight surprise.


    ''''Excuse me, are you sure?'''' Sofia asked with a frown and saw Isaac nodding.


    ''''She doesn''t have friends.'''' Maria suddenly said and examined Isaac closely, ''''How did you meet her.''''


    Isaac scratched his head and replied truthfully, ''''In the game, White Online. Heard about it?''''


    Maria and Sofia looked at each other with a slight shock before replying, ''''I-I see... Is it alright if one of us will apany you? She is not in good health after all.''''


    ''''That''s fine,'''' Isaac said and saw Sofia and Maria discussing.


    They came to a conclusion soon, and it was Maria who would apany Isaac.


    ''''Follow me.'''' She said with a slight smile and started hopping towards the nearby elevator with her nurse outfit gently fluttering alongside her movements.


    Few young men and older men nced at cheerful Maria. She is, after all, quite an attractive individual, especially towards the opposite sex.


    Isaac entered the elevator with Maria, and soon, the doors closed.


    While in the elevator.


    Maria saw the white-haired young man carrying something that resembled a chocte, ''''Chocte?''''


    Isaac looked at the chocte and hid it sneakily, ''''U-Umm...''''


    But then, Maria giggled and covered her mouth quickly, ''''It''s fine, we don''t forbid them.''''


    Isaac sighed in relief and nodded, ''''Yes... This is for Luna, not sure will she like it, though.''''


    ''''What type of chocte?'''' She asked curiously.


    ''''Strawberry,'''' Isaac replied.


    Maria smiled and nodded, ''''She will love it.''''


    Isaac smiled and nodded; he felt slightly more confident after those words.


    But then, Maria asked a question with a sly smile, ''''Are you her... Boyfriend or something?''''


    Isaac chuckled and shook his head, ''''We are friends; we spent some time together in the game.''''


    Maria nodded and kept tapping her chin. She has a hunch that it isn''t so simple; after all, people who only spent some time together wouldn''t visit each other in the hospital.


    *Ding*


    The elevator''s doors opened, and Maria was the first one to leave it, followed by Isaac.


    Isaac remembered where Luna''s room was and saw Maria walking straight towards it.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    She knocked on the door a few times and entered it, while Isaac stayed outside the room until Maria came back and smiled softly, ''''You may enter, our princess is awake!''''


    Isaac nodded and walked inside the room. He heard Maria closing the door, but his focus was on the bed with a pale-looking girl lying on it with her eyes slightly open.


    ''''Isaac...'''' Luna muttered softly with her pale face having a slight smile.


    Isaac smiled and sat down on the chair while Maria stood on the sidelines and looked at Luna''s facial expression, which showed her happiness.


    A familiar VR Helmet was lying on top of a desk, which seemed untouched today. Instead, Luna was already waiting for this meeting for a whole day and barely slept during the night; that''s why there were slight eye bags under her eyes.


    ''''I-I saw you getting First Clear.'''' Luna said with her tired tone, which had a tinge of innocence, ''''Y-You are awesome.''''


    Isaac chuckled and grabbed the chocte bar slightly tighter, ''''Slight luck yed a part.'''' He looked at the chocte bar and decided what to do with that. He put it down on the hospital bed next to Luna, who seemed confused.


    He scratched his head and said, ''''I bought you chocte; I hope you like it.''''


    Luna''s eyes started sparkling as she grabbed the chocte bar, and the first thing she saw was that it was strawberry.


    ''''Not sure which was your favorite, so I grabbed one randomly.'''' He tapped his fingers with slight awkwardness.


    But then, Luna smiled and said, ''''I-It''s my favorite.''''


    Isaac looked at her face and didn''t see even a tinge of lies, only pure innocence.


    He smiled and nodded, ''''Good....''''

 Chapter 126 - Richard’s Research.

    Luna was innocently sitting on her hospital bed while stuffing the tiny pieces of chocte pieces on her tiny mouth. She was innocently fidgeting her toes, while her somewhat pale and sickly face had a look of satisfaction and happiness.


    Maria was looking at the sight with a small smile and was regretful of not having her camera with her because Luna looked like a cute rabbit.


    Isaac was rhythmically tapping the armrest with his index finger while looking at Luna with a small smile.


    He also took a few nces at the machine, which had the line going up and down in a steady manner.


    He didn''tpletely know what was its purpose because there was already a machine, which tells Luna''s life signals, but he had a hunch that it was crucial for Luna''s survival.


    ''''I-Isaac, do you want some?'''' Luna asked while holding a piece of chocte on her palm.


    Isaac waved his hand and replied, ''''I bought it for you; it''s yours.''''


    Luna smiled softly and nodded, but then she covered the chocte bar on its wrappers and offered it to Maria, ''''Maria, can you take this to a refrigerator? I will finish itter.''''


    Maria nodded and took the chocte bar, but she also leaned closer to Luna''s ear and whispered, ''''You were hiding your boyfriend from your big sisters, I am hurt, Luna~''''


    ''''He is my friend, go away, dummy.'''' Luna pushed Maria gently away with a hue of pink coloring her cheeks.


    Maria giggled and left the hospital room with her giggle still ringing on Luna''s ears.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Luna humped and turned her gaze once again towards Isaac.


    Isaac also locked gazes with her, and they stayed quiet for some time longer, until Luna decided to ask, ''''I-I forgot to add you as my friend... D-Do you want to add me as a friend?'''' She asked while shyly twirling her hair, waiting for the answer with anticipation.


    ''''Ah, yes.'''' Isaac went through his pockets and soon found what he was looking for. He took a piece of paper from the pocket and a pencil.


    ''''Tell me your VR Helmet ID, I will add you through that.''''


    ''''A-Ah, yes!'''' Luna said with excitement, ''''It''s LunaSnowflower00.''''


    ''''LunaSnowflower00...'''' Isaac wrote the name and nodded after he finished writing it down.


    ''''I will be waiting for your friend request!'''' Luna shouted with a sweet smile, with her eyes showing the excitement.


    Isaac put the paper gently in his pocket and asked, ''''Snowflower... Is that perhaps... Your surname?'''' He asked because he had heard that name somewhere before.


    ''''Oh, oops.'''' Luna giggled and tapped her fingers together, ''''It is, my full name is Luna Moon Snowflower.''''


    Isaac put his hand forwards for a handshake and said, ''''Isaac Vayne Whitelock.''''


    Luna grabbed the hand and shyly smiled while feeling the familiar warmth of Isaac''s hand, which she remembered from their time on the mysterious ind.


    ''''I swear I have heard your surname somewhere before; I just can''t remember where.'''' Isaac rubbed his forehead, trying to get his brains to work, but no matter how hard he tried to remember, he couldn''t.


    ''''Your family owns Whitelock Company, right?'''' Luna asked.


    Isaac nodded, ''''It is my father''s.''''


    Luna nodded with admiration, ''''I have heard great things about your family.''''


    Isaac nodded and nced at the clock; surprisingly, he had spent over half an hour already, more than he expected.


    He grabbed his phone from the pocket and nced at the messages, and most of them were from Michael, who was asking how is it going.


    He quickly replied and stuffed the phone back into his pocket.


    Looking at Luna''s innocent and cheerful face, he didn''t really want to leave, but he had other things to do.


    ''''Luna, I need to visit Richard, so I apologize for ending this meeting so short.'''' He said with an apologetic smile.


    ''''Oh...'''' Luna instantly looked downcast, but then she had an idea, ''''C-Can Ie with you?''''


    ''''Are you sure you are allowed?'''' Isaac looked at the machines, and the wires stuck on her limbs.


    Luna smiled and stood up, ''''I-I sometimes am allowed to go for walks.'''' She grabbed the machine, and surprisingly it had wheels, which allowed her to move without any problems, while the machine followed behind her.


    Her legs slightly shook, but she managed to keep her posture and slowly started walking towards Isaac.


    Isaac was ready to catch her if she was going to fall, but she managed to walk perfectly without any hups, even though her legs were shaking in a dangerous manner.


    ''''Let''s go!'''' She said cheerfully.


    Isaac smiled and helped her to leave the hospital room. He remembered that Richard''s office wasn''t too far, only at the end of the corridor.


    But, looking at the corridor, it resembled a lot of the abandoned hospital, which was conquered by Baba Yaga.


    Memories of her disgusting face surfaced into his mind, but he pushed those thoughts away and continued without fear while Luna followed behind in a slow manner.


    Reaching the end of the corridor, a door with nametag [Chief Doctor Richard] was in front of him.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    Isaac knocked a couple of times and said, ''''Doctor Richard, are you there?''''


    After he spoke, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps and shuffling of papers.


    Sometimeter, the door opened, and a handsome and gentle-looking man appeared.


    Richard was surprised to see Isaac and even more surprised to see Luna following behind Isaac.


    ''''Isaac, Luna? What are you two doing here and Luna. you should be resting.'''' Richard said sternly, but there was obvious worry in his eyes while looking at her pale face and shaky legs.


    He nced at the machine and heaved a relief after seeing a rhythmic pattern of the lines.


    ''''I have something to discuss with you, and Luna wanted toe as well; I hope it isn''t a bother,'''' Isaac said and was prepared to leave if Richard was busy.


    ''''Oh.'''' Richard looked around his somewhat messy office, but he nodded and said, ''''Come in.''''


    Isaac nodded with gratitude and entered the office, with Luna following closely behind.


    The first thing he saw was stacks of papers littered around the office, but then he saw the scribbles on the walls.


    One thing that he saw caused his face to show his shock.


    [Fountain of Life (???): Chances to cure WI is unknown - Must find it!]


    It was written on the wall in a color of golden color like Richard made sure to not forget it no matter what!

 Chapter 127 - X-Ray.

    Richard sat down on his chair and saw Isaac looking at the words on the wall in shock and confusion.


    He scratched his head and said, ''''Isaac, what was the purpose of your visit?''''


    Isaac didn''t answer that question. Instead, he pointed at the wall and asked, ''''Fountain of Life... Why are you looking for it?''''


    Richard averted his gaze and didn''t anyone want to know the real reason because it might remove his trustworthy reputation of being Chief Doctor and might make Isaac think that he was crazy.


    ''''It''s nothing; I just read about it in the book I found.'''' Richard grabbed a book from the bookshelf and showed it to Isaac.


    Isaac took the book and was surprised to see familiar text.


    [Wickedly Wonderful - Tale of Baba Yaga]


    It was exactly the same book he found in the abandoned hospital.


    He turned pages until he found a page which talked about Fountain of Life, it has said to be able to give immortality for whoever drinks it.


    Isaac turned his gaze away from the book and looked at Richard, ''''Why did you write that you wanted to find it?''''


    Richard shook his head and arranged the papers on the desk, ''''You mistook the meaning of the words.''''


    Isaac frowned and looked at the words one more time, ''WI... What does that mean?''


    ''''Anyway, why have youe? Your parents don''t seem to be with you.'''' Richard put the papers to the side, and now the desk was clean, with only a monitor of theputer on it.


    Luna slowly sat down on a chair and heaved a sigh after the exhausting walk.


    Isaac still thought that Richard was hiding something, but he didn''t connect it with White Online, so without further ado, he sat down on the chair.


    ''''I might have a... Illness, which might have been missed in the previous tests.'''' Isaac said seriously.


    Richard looked surprised, ''''Are you sure? What are the symptoms?''''


    Luna looked at Isaac in surprise and worry, ''''A-Are you okay?''''


    Isaac tapped the armrest and said, ''''I am not sure if it is an illness; since young, I haven''t been able to increase my strength, no matter what I do.''''


    Richard sighed and had heard about Isaac''s condition a long time ago.


    ''''Isaac, I know you are frustrated, but there is nothing wrong with your body.''''


    Isaac sighed and asked, ''''Can we do a test, at least?''''


    Richard tapped the wooden desk couple of times; soon, he opened theputer and started scrolling down the files.


    ''''I think we can do that... But, like I said, your perfect is in great health.'''' Richard looked around the files and saw that room where he could do X-Ray was avable.


    He stood up and said, ''''We can do an X-Ray, if that is fine with you.''''


    Isaac nodded and stood up from the chair; he looked at Luan and saw her having some difficulty standing up.


    Luna soon saw a frail-looking hand, which belonged to Isaac.


    She smiled and grabbed it.


    Isaac helped her to stand, and soon, both of them followed behind Richard towards the X-Ray room.


    It didn''t take long for them to reach it, and once the door to the room was opened, there was another door, which leads to the machine, which is used to look at the results and where they can monitor the patient''s vitals.


    Richard and Luna entered another separate room while Isaac went to the machine.


    It was a round-like object, and he needed to lie down to the metallic bed, which would be pushed inside the machine.


    He looked towards the window, which leads to the separate room; he saw Richard giving thumbs up, signaling that it was alright to lie down.


    Isaac nodded and lied down on the metallic bed. It soon got pushed inside the machine, and Isaac only saw white walls of the machine and bright lighting right in front of his eyes.


    In a separate room.


    Luna was curiously looking at the screens while Richard pressed a blue button and said, ''''Isaac, you know what you need to do. Stay still and ignore the loud banging sound.''''


    Isaac heard Richard''s voiceing from the speakers; he gave small thumbs up and kept looking at the bright light.


    Richard looked around the desk and pressed a red button, and instantly the screens turned on, and the screen, where it showed Isaac''s vitals, were lit up.


    ''''This is Isaac''s vitals.'''' Richard tapped the screen, which had greenish lines going up and down in a rhythmic manner.


    ''''Ohhh, simr to mine.'''' Luna nodded with understanding.


    ''''That''s right, as you can see, Isaac''s vitals are perfect,'''' Richard said and pressed another button, which started the machine.


    Inside the machine.


    *Bang*


    *Bang*


    *Bang*


    Isaac heard a loud banging sound, which closely resembled the sound of a gunshot, which he remembered from White Online; it is a sound he is very familiar with.


    That''s why he didn''t flinch, didn''t move, didn''t even blink.


    Richard looked outside the window and saw Isaac staying perfectly still; he turned his head towards other screens and looked at everything closely.


    ''''Hmm, what''s that,'''' Luna asked while pointing at the screen, which showed the outline of Isaac''s skeleton.


    Richard looked at the screen, which is usually useless and only shows Isaac''s skeleton, but this time, it showed something very interesting.


    There were two dots in the color of white, located on where Isaac''s heart is supposed to be and around his brain, but the dots were very small, barely noticeable.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Richard struck the side of the monitor, thinking that it might be broken, ''''It''s broken, I need to call engineers to fix it.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Luna nodded but still kept ncing at the screen, or more precisely, towards the white dots.


    Ten minutester.


    The metallic bed was pulled away from the machine, and perfectly fine-looking Isaac appeared, with a tinge of red around his rims, which came from watching at the bright light too long.


    He stood up from the bed and entered another room.


    He was instantly greeted by Luna, ''''Wee back!'''' Her bright blue eyes gazed at Isaac with a sweet smile.


    Isaac nodded and looked at Richard, who was printing the results.


    ''''How was it?'''' He asked and saw Richard taking the results from the printer and gave them to Isaac.


    Isaac looked at the papers, and it only showed his body being in perfect health, but he didn''t see the photo of his skeleton anywhere, ''''Where is...''''


    Before he could ask, Richard interrupted, ''''That monitor seemed broken, so, unfortunately, you can''t receive those pictures, but they aren''t needed anyway...'''' He stood up and grabbed his papers from the desk, ''''As you can see, your body is in perfect health.''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''Maybe I was mistaken....''

 Chapter 128 - Wealthy, Middle, Bottom.

    ''''I am d you visited Isaac, and you shouldn''t be frustrated about your strength issue.'''' Richard patted Isaac''s shoulder and said, ''''Strength is not everything.''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded. He and Luna watched as Richard walked away in the corridors.


    ''''Ah, there you are!'''' They turned their heads and saw Mariaing with a gentle smile.


    Luna pouted, she had still not forgotten about her teasing.


    Maria looked at Luna with a smile, ''''Princess, you should return to your room.''''


    ''''Don''t wanna...'''' Luna murmured and grabbed Isaac''s sleeve.


    Maria touched her chest, where her heart is located, with a painful look, ''''Luna abandoned her big sister for a boy!''''


    ''''S-Shut up!'''' Luna shouted and shyly averted her gaze, which earned a giggle from Maria.


    Isaac felt like they could really be sisters, but they obviously weren''t, but Maria seemed to care for Luna like she was truly her little sister.


    He took a nce at his wristwatch and has felt his phone vibrating on his phone more oftentely.


    ''''Luna, I am sorry, but I have to leave now,'''' Isaac said, looking at her adorable yet sicky face.


    ''''A-Already?'''' Luna''s smile disappeared, and her shoulders slumped.


    Maria grabbed her hand and looked at the machine with an anxious look. The lines didn''t look as calm as before, but it was still not that dangerous.


    She sighed relief and grabbed Luna''s hand; she helped her to walk, ''''Luna, are you tired?''''


    Luna slowly moved her legs and kept ncing towards Isaac, who was still standing in his spot but was getting further away as she neared her hospital room.


    She shook her head to Maria''s question and said, ''''I-I want to go to White Online...'''' She gave a weak-looking smile towards Isaac and entered the hospital room.


    Maria looked at Isaac, who had a worried face after seeing a sudden jump on her vitals.


    She smiled and waved her hand, ''''It was nice to see you, Luna''s boyfriend!''''


    Isaac sighed and wryly smiled. After seeing Maria and Luna entering the hospital room, he turned around and entered the elevator, which quickly descended to the first floor.


    He walked past the receptionist''s desk and said, ''''Goodbye.'''' After those words, he kept walking towards the exit of the hospital.


    ''''See youter.'''' Sofia said after the white-haired young man walked past the desk, ''''I wonder does Maria have good gossip...''''


    She smiled and turned her gaze towards the paperwork in front of her.


    Isaac left the hospital and saw anxious-looking Michael pacing back and forth in front of the ck sedan.


    Once he saw Isaac returning, he sighed relief and asked, ''''Is everything fine?''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Yes, everything is fine.'''' He entered the car without waiting for Michael to open it for him.


    Michael sighed in relief and entered the driver''s seat.


    Once they were in the car.


    Michael asked, ''''Where next?''''


    Isaac looked outside the window and felt like something was stuck inside his throat, which stopped him from saying particr words.


    ''''Ahem...'''' He covered his mouth and coughed, with all his strength, he uttered the words out of his mouth, ''''Remember where Amanda and her family live? Take me there.''''


    ''''Cough... Cough...'''' Michael started coughing uncontrobly, and once he got back hisposure, he turned around and said anxiously, ''''A-Are you sure?!''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''Yes...''''


    Michael turned his body around and shakily grabbed the steering wheel; he pressed the gas and started driving the car out of the hospital''s premises.


    The car smoothly entered the streets, but this time, it went different direction where they came from.


    Amanda and her parents live in a neighborhood which is for Middle-ss, while Isaac and his family live in a Wealthy-ss neighborhood.


    There is also a neighborhood for Bottom-ss, where citizens who simply don''t have enough money to buy for better residents are living.


    It is also a ce where the biggest casualties in the snowstorms were, but because of Whitelockpany, even their houses are now in much better condition and could be ssified as Middle-ss houses.


    But, rent is still there quite cheap, because it is located close to scrapyards, which terrible scent reaches all the way to that neighborhood, which is enough to make most of the residents to go away, but it is still a good ce for people who live in poverty.


    The expensive-looking ck sedan reached the Middle-ss neighborhood, which doesn''t have gates to stop residents who don''t live there from entering.


    It is quite different from a Wealthy-ss neighborhood.


    The ck sedan earned quite a lot of surprised faces from the residents of the neighborhood and pondered who was driving it.


    ''''Stop here,'''' Isaac said anxiously after a familiar-looking house became visible in the distance.


    Michael parked to the side of the road and looked towards Isaac, ''''Why? We could have parked in front of their building.''''


    Isaac sighed and fixed his clothing, ''''This is fine... Stay here.''''


    Michael nodded and had a slight hunch about the reason for Isaac not wanting to stop in front of the building.


    Isaac left the car, and residents around the neighborhood were shocked to see a young man with beautiful white hair leaving the car.


    Some even recognized him, because it was an only year ago when hest time visited.


    ''''Isaac, is that you?'''' Isaac turned his head and saw a door opening from a nearby building, and a beautiful middle-aged woman with a round stomach appeared.


    ''''Aunt Cam,'''' Isaac said with a slight smile, but then he saw her round stomach.


    Cam touched her stomach tenderly and smiled, ''''I am pregnant.''''


    Isaac looked shocked, but then he smiled gently, ''''Bob must be terrified?''''


    Cam covered her mouth and giggled, ''''He is!''''


    Isaac chuckled and entered the sidewalk, and stopped in front of the building but didn''t enter the yard.


    ''''Why are you here? You haven''t visited for a long time, Bob wanted to do a rematch in Chess.'''' Cam gently asked, but then she remembered about Isaac''s incident, ''''Ahh... You must have been busy, I apologize.'''' She smiled with an apologetic face.


    Isaac waved her hand and looked towards the direction, where a familiar-looking house was located, ''''It''s fine, I am sorry and tell Bob that I will visit him one day... He must be prepared to lose, though.''''


    Cam gently smiled and saw Isaac looking in a certain direction; a sly smile appeared on her face as she asked, ''''Visiting Amanda?''''


    Isaac scratched his head and nodded, ''''Yeah...''''


    ''''She will be very pleased.'''' Cam pped her hands gently.


    Isaac sighed and took another nce at the building, but then... A door next building was opened, and a ck-haired young man appeared with an excited face as he walked towards the building where Amanda lives.


    Isaac''s face was morphed into a shock as he asked, ''''W-What is he doing here?''''


    ''''Oh, him?'''' Cam looked at the ck-haired young man, ''''His name is Oliver, he and his family moved recently here recently.''''


    Isaac clenched his fist as he started walking towards Amanda''s building, where the ck-haired young man was about to ring a doorbell.


    ''''See youter!'''' Cam shouted Isaac, who suddenly left.


    Isaac waved his hand, but his bloodshot gaze was locked at the back of the ck-haired young man.

 Chapter 129 - Reunion.

    Oliver tightened his cor and patiently waited for the door to be opened. His ck hair was styled in a slick haircut, which made him look like a polite gentleman with his brown sweater and ck pants.


    He perked up his ears as he heard noisesing from the house, and he instantly did a smile while holding a stic bag in his right hand.


    *nk*


    The door was opened, and a middle-aged woman with long flowy auburn hair appeared. She looked lovely with mature-looking curves and a face with a gentle look all around her.


    ''''Oh, Oliver.'''' She said with a slight awkwardness, which wasn''t noticed by Oliver.


    ''''Aunt Amy, is Amanda home?'''' Oliver asked politely from Amanda''s mother, Amy.


    Amy looked inside the house towards the stairs and nodded, ''''Yes, Amanda is currently in her room. Do you want me to call for her?''''


    ''''Actually...'''' Oliver put his hand inside the bag and showed a DVD, ''''We were supposed to have a movie night.''''


    ''''Ah, right.'''' Amy covered her mouth with an apologetic look, ''''I must have forgotten about it, pleasee in.'''' She stepped to the side and let Oliver enter.


    She saw Oliver taking off his shoes and putting them on the shoe rack in a nice manner; every move he did was very smooth and calcted like he had trained for a long time.


    Amy wryly smiled, she knew about Oliver''s crush on Amanda, and sometimes, she thinks if Oliver really is goodpany to her daughter.


    His crush on her doesn''t seem simple.


    She also had a hunch that Oliver might have moved right next to their house because Amanda once identally mentioned that their neighbors had moved away.


    But, she shook her head out of those thoughts because she thought it was silly, because how could Oliver get his entire family to move because of his crush.


    ''''Oh, Oliver.'''' A muscr man with short brown hair and a stoic-looking face appeared. He was somewhat handsome with a well-defined jaw and sharp eyebrows. He was wearing an apron, which was quite of a sight when a muscr man like him was wearing it.


    His eyes narrowed slightly after seeing Oliver, but he hid his displeasure and offered a handshake, ''''Wee to our humble abode.''''


    ''''No, sir, this house is beautiful.'''' Oliver grabbed the hand with a polite smile, but after a few seconds, the muscr man didn''t let go of it, instead increased the strength output, and soon Oliver''s face started reddening in pain.


    ''''Honey, is food ready?'''' Amy quickly asked with a gentle smile before her husband broke Oliver''s arm.


    The muscr man let go of the hand and saw Oliver''s hand having arge red handprint. He snorted and entered the kitchen, where a delicious scent of food wasing from.


    Oliver awkwardly chuckled and rubbed his painful hand.


    ''''Food is soon ready, go get Amanda,'''' Amy said gently and pushed Oliver towards the stairs.


    ''''Yes!'''' Oliver said energetically and rushed towards the upstairs.


    ''''I am not sure letting him hang out with Amanda is a good idea.'''' The muscr man appeared from the kitchen and said.


    Amy rubbed his arm and said, ''''Amanda knows how to take care of herself.''''


    ''''I know... I just don''t feelfortable.'''' The muscr man said.


    ''''Anthony, nothing will happen to her,'''' Amy said with a confident expression.


    The muscr man, also known as Anthony, nodded with his muscles bulging. If Oliver touches his daughter, he will rip off his spine and feed it to dogs.


    *Ding Dong*


    ''''Hmm, who could it be now.'''' Amy walked towards the door with an innocent look.


    ''''If it is a salesman, close the door,'''' Anthony said and entered the kitchen.


    Amy giggled and opened the door with a smile, but soon that smile froze until a shocked look appeared.


    ''''Hello, Aunt Amy,'''' Isaac said with a calm smile on his otherworldly face.


    ''''I-Isaac...'''' Amy stumbled backward, almost falling down because the shoe rack was on the way, but Isaac managed to grab her hand, stopping her from falling.


    ''''I-It is you!'''' Amy covered her mouth in shock, but then she trapped Isaac in her hug, with his face getting crushed in her breasts.


    ''''B-B-Breath!'''' Isaac tilted his head, which allowed him to breathe freely once again.


    He managed to escape the hug after Amy let go of him, but she grabbed his soft cheeks and smiled with teardrops appearing on the corner of her eyes, ''''I missed you, we all did.''''


    ''''I know...'''' Isaac sighed, ''''Sorry for not visiting before.''''


    Amy wiped her tears and nodded gently, ''''It''s fine, food is soon ready, please stay!''''


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac smiled and nced towards upstairs with narrowed eyes.


    ''''Who was it?'''' Anthony''s head popped from the kitchen door, and at first, he only saw Amy, but then he got a glimpse of white hair and thought it was Amanda at first, but when he got a closer look...


    *nk*


    A spoon dropped from his hand and fell down to the ground; Isaac heard the sound and quickly turned his head, just in time to see a muscr man trapping him in a hug.


    ''''Isaac, where the fuck have you been!'''' Anthony hugged him tightly with a much gentler look on his face, worlds apart from how he treated Oliver.


    Isaac wryly smiled and patted Anthony in the back, ''''I was on nearby and decided to visit.''''


    He took off his jacket and put it on the hanger, where a familiar-looking jacket was already hanging, it was like it was only yesterday when he visited, but it had been a year.


    Anthony nodded and patted him on the shoulder, ''''Amanda will be pleased,e to have dinner with us!'''' He led Isaac to the kitchen, where tes were already neatly put on the table with smoking hot food ready to be served.


    Amy took another te and put it on the table. She gently smiled towards Isaac and said, ''''Please sit.''''


    Isaac sat down on the nearby seat and saw as Amy and Anthony kept ncing towards the kitchen door, with footsteps ringing from their ears.


    The footsteps wereing from the stairs and were closing on quickly.


    Isaac looked towards the kitchen door and felt his heart racing as the door slowly opened.


    Two figures appeared.


    The first figure had beautiful long white hair with delicate-looking eyebrows, long eyshes, and a pointy nose. Her face had a small smile, which soon froze after seeing a familiar, yet somewhat strange-looking young man looking straight at her.


    The second figure was a handsome ck-haired young man who seemed surprised to see Amanda suddenly stopping, but soon he saw the reason... His gaze was locked with another figure, which he had seen nightmares about for over a year by now, a figure who he thought he would never see again.


    ''''I-Isaac...'''' Amanda couldn''t believe her eyes as her body trembled in shock and hope.


    ''''Hello, Amanda.'''' Isaac said and looked at Oliver, ''''...''''


    No words needed to be said.

 Chapter 130 - Enemies Meet.

    ''''Isaac...'''' Oliver murmured, and a tinge of hate appeared in his eyes, ''''Why have youe here?''''


    Oliver and Isaac red at each other, both had eyes filled with hate, but Oliver didn''t notice it because his anger ignited and clouded his thoughts.


    ''''Please sit, food is ready,'''' Amy said gently towards her daughter and Oliver.


    Amanda was brought out of her stupor and stiffly sat down on the seat, which was on the opposite side from Isaac; her gaze still hadn''t left Isaac''s face.


    Oliver sat down next to her and moved the seat closer till his leg touched her''s leg.


    She didn''t notice it because her focus was locked on Isaac.


    Amy sat down next to Isaac while Anthony sat down on the main seat.


    ''''Here.'''' Amy took a spoon and covered half of Isaac''s te with sd.


    Anthony took a bowl, which was filled with meatballs, and used his fork to put it on Isaac''s te.


    Oliver looked at the sight with a twitching eyebrow. He was treated like a stranger, while Isaac was like their long-lost son.


    ''''Thank you,'''' Isaac said with gratitude; he grabbed both fork and knife from the te and started eating calmly.


    Amanda didn''t move as she had a thousand questions on her mind.


    Only a sound of nking and munching was heard, as the table waspletely quiet.


    Amy and Anthony looked at the scene with wry smiles; the scene looked way different than one year ago when they dinedst time.


    Amanda every now and then opened her mouth, but no words came.


    Oliver couldn''t keep his calm and polite was anymore as his face obviously showed the displeasure of seeing Isaac again.


    Isaac put down a fork and knife; he grabbed a napkin and wiped his mouth.


    ''''Oliver, I have a question.'''' Isaac opened his mouth.


    ''''Eh?'''' Oliver looked at him and frowned, ''''What?''''


    Amanda then finally remembered that Oliver was also here, as she curiously looked back and forth between Oliver and Isaac.


    ''''Quite of a coincidence that you happened to move next to Amanda''s house,'''' Isaac said with a shrug, with a tinge of sarcasm.


    Amanda also thought it was quite strange but didn''t pry into it.


    Oliver had a small sweatdrop forming on his forehead, but he acted like it was a really good coincidence, ''''Yes, it was.'''' He innocently wiped his mouth with a napkin, trying to act as calm asposed as Isaac was.


    Only recently, Oliver started acting like Isaac in hopes of squirming his way to Amanda''s heart that way.


    ''''Indeed, a good coincidence.'''' Isaac sighed and had a small smile on his face, ''''I mean, if it wasn''t a coincidence and you moved next to her on purpose, that would be very creepy.''''


    Oliver''s eye twitched as he grabbed the knife on his hand tighter, ''''Coincidences happen, like how you were born into a rich household and had everything given to you on silver te, right?''''


    Isaac didn''t change his expression as he put his hands on hisp with an innocent smile.


    Anthony narrowed his eyes and looked at Oliver with displeasure.


    Amy felt like the conversation was going in the wrong direction, it had been a long time since Isaac visited, and she didn''t want it to end up as an argument.


    ''''Oliver... That was not nice; he is your best friend after all.'''' Amanda said with slight displeasure.


    Oliver resisted snorting. Instead, he looked at Amanda and smiled, ''''Apologies, I have never been good with jokes.''''


    Amanda sighed and nodded but had a hunch that Oliver might have some grudge against Isaac.


    ''''It''s fine; Oliver has never been good with jokes.'''' Isaac saw Oliver''s eyebrow twitch, which caused him to have a small smile, ''''Like, remember that one time... Hmm, what was it...''''


    He tapped the table and saw everyone''s focus was on him, and finally, after that, he said it, ''''Ah right, now I remember... One time you said you loved girls with a big personality.'''' Everyone had to register the words and think deeply about what he meant.


    Anthony was the first one to understand and was very close to beating Oliver up.


    Oliver paled and nced at Amanda, who didn''t seem to understand what it meant, while Amy''s eyes went cold as she understood it perfectly.


    ''''Haha... Isaac, t-that''s not what happened.'''' Oliver chuckled awkwardly, but it just made Amy and Anthony certain that what Isaac said was correct.


    ''''Hmm, it didn''t?'''' Isaac grabbed his phone from his pocket and said, ''''If I remember correctly, you said it in a group chat... Let me check it just to be sure.''''


    Oliver''s grabbed the knife tighter and said with venom, ''''Haha... You might not be on the group chat anymore. Someone identally removed you from it.''''


    Isaac used his thumb to tap on the phone, ''''Doesn''t matter, I can still see chat history from the time when I was still in the chat.''''


    Anthony put the fork and knife down to the table and red at Oliver, ''''Apologies, but we would like to catch up with Isaac, so Oliver... I think it''s not a good time for a visit.''''


    ''''B-But...'''' Oliver saw the cold look they gave him, which made him angrier; he anxiously turned his head to look at Amanda, ''''Amanda, w-what about the movie night?''''


    ''''I think we can do that some other time.'''' Amanda shyly twirled her white hair and looked at Isaac, ''''I think it''s not a good time right now...''''


    Oliver put the knife on the table with a m and stood up, ''''Alright, then.'''' His voice was chilly as his whole gentleman demeanor crumbled to pieces.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Amanda tilted her head because of Oliver''s sudden outburst.


    *Creak*


    Everyone turned their heads towards Isaac and saw him standing up as well, ''''I will escort Oliver out of the house; I have some stuff to discuss with him.'''' He innocently smiled and looked at Oliver while signaling towards the kitchen door.


    ''''I-I wille too!'''' Amanda was about to stand, but then Isaac said, ''''It''s fine, won''t take long.''''


    ''''O-Oh.'''' Amanda sat down with pursed lips.


    Isaac opened the kitchen door and kept it open for Oliver.


    Oliver stomped out of the kitchen, and Isaac followed behind with a innocent look.

 Chapter 131 - Long-awaited.

    Oliver and Isaac reached the door, but they didn''t leave the house; instead, they looked at each other without a word.


    ''''What is it?'''' Oliver asked, without even hiding the hate in his tone.


    ''''Can''t I talk with my best friend, who I haven''t seen for a long time?'''' Isaac asked and acted like he was hurt, ''''You didn''t even visit me in hospital; I know you must be busy and all that, but is it really that hard to visit me even for 10 minutes?''''


    Oliver snorted and shrugged, ''''I was busy, school stuff and all that.''''


    ''''Hmm, indeed, weird that you didn''t have time to visit me on holidays, school stuff again?'''' Isaac asked with obvious sarcasm.


    ''''I was on vacation with my parents.'''' Oliver shrugged with obvious mocking, '''' Also, Amanda was quite sad during that time, so I spent time with her. Is it really so bad tofort my friend? Are you that selfish?'''' He crossed his arms and shook his head with disappointment.


    Isaac chuckled and nodded, ''''That''s right, did she ask you tofort her? Or were you simply that desperate to finally have a chance to be alone with her?''''


    ''''I don''t know what you are talking about.'''' Oliver smirked and put the shoes on, ''''I think we became closer during that time... So, your incident wasn''t all bad.''''


    He put his hand on his hair and smirked with a disgusting look, ''''Maybe if a simr incident would happen, Amanda and I might get married, hahaha, just joking.'''' He patted Isaac''s shoulder with tant mocking.


    Isaac pped the hand away and said, ''''You should keep your mouth shut.''''


    ''''Or what?'''' Oliver said mockingly and pushed Isaac backward, which almost made him fall down.


    *Smack!*


    Isaac''s solid fist contacted with Oliver''s cheek, which made him stumble backward with a red cheek.


    ''''Y-You bastard!'''' Oliver screamed and rubbed his painful cheek; with anger, he stomped towards Isaac and grabbed him from his cor, and mmed him at the nearby wall.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac groaned in pain after his back collided with the wall at an awkward angle.


    Oliver leaned his head closer to Isaac''s and whispered with venom, ''''You should have stayed in the hospital.''''


    ''''Heh...'''' Isaac gave a strained chuckle as he tried to remove Oliver''s hand but was unsessful, ''''You have never been smart...''''


    ''''Hmm, what do you mean?'''' Oliver asked with a frown but then heard the kitchen door opening.


    ''''Oliver, what are you doing?!'''' He turned his head in shock and saw Amanda shouting with anger on her beautiful face.


    Amy and Anthony also left the kitchen and saw the scene of Oliver holding Isaac from his cor, while his face had apparent signs of being in pain.


    ''''Hands off him!'''' Anthony shouted and rushed towards Oliver.


    ''''T-This is a misunderstanding!'''' Oliver let go of Isaac''s cor and stumbled backward, but then Anthony''s hand grabbed his throat and mmed him on the door.


    ''''UGH!'''' Oliver groaned in pain as he tried to remove the incredibly strong hand, but it was to no avail; his face turned purple as he couldn''t receive any oxygen.


    Anthony opened the door and threw Oliver out of the house.


    His bodynded on the snowy ground, making his clothing wet and his face dirtied.


    ''''I-I can exin!'''' Oliver turned his dirtied face around and saw Anthony''s angry face, but he ignored it and looked towards Amanda with despair, ''''A-Amanda, please! W-We have known each other since we were kids!''''


    Amanda looked conflicted; she rubbed her arm and saw Isaac standing up with the help of Amy.


    ''''Get lost!'''' Anthony screamed and closed the door with a m.


    ''''Are you alright?'''' Amy asked with worry.


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''Yes, apologies for intruding; it was a mistake.'''' He grabbed his jacket and put it on.


    ''''P-Please, don''t go yet...'''' Amanda grabbed his sleeve and pleaded.


    Amy grabbed Anthony''s hand and dragged him away, so two youths could have a long-awaited talk.


    Isaac put on his boots while Amanda still tried to open her mouth, but no words came.


    ''''I know it wasn''t your fault.'''' Isaac suddenly said and tied the shoces.


    ''''E-Eh? W-What do you mean?'''' Amanda asked with a nervous heartbeat.


    ''''About my incident... I med you for a long time, but now I know that it wasn''t your fault.'''' He stood up and looked Amanda right in the eye, ''''I am really sorry for my idiotic behavior.''''


    Amanda looked surprised, but soon a thrilled smile appeared on her face, ''''R-Really?!''''


    Isaac nodded and put his hand on the doorhandle, ''''I hope we can be friends again.''''


    ''''Friends...'''' Amanda murmured, but soon a firm look appeared in her eyes. She had dreamed of this moment a long time ago, and she will tell her feelings once and for all!


    ''''Isaac... I l-l-lov¡ª'''' She stuttered her words, and soon, Isaac opened his mouth to interrupt her words.


    ''''I can''t ept,'''' Isaac said with a heavy look as he slowly opened the door.


    ''''E-Eh, b-but...'''' Amanda looked shocked and sad as she tried to show just how heavy her feelings truly were.


    ''''I have spent endless hours alone, with only my thoughts as mypany...'''' Isaac tapped the metallic door handle and opened the door wide open and put one leg outside the house, ''''I thought about you... A lot...''''


    Amanda lowered her head as she knew where this was going.


    ''''You were my first love.'''' Isaac suddenly said, which caused Amanda to raise her head again with a shocked look.


    ''''Yeah...'''' He chuckled awkwardly and continued, ''''I think it was during my first year in High School... I loved your gentle nature, and I always felt jealous of you talking with Oliver and his friends...''''


    ''''B-But, not anymore?'''' Amanda asked with a sad look.


    Isaac looked at her and said, ''''Human feelings are very unexpected, one day, you might find yourself wanting something so desperately, and the next day, it might not matter anymore.''''


    ''''D-Did youe here to say all that...'''' Amanda asked with eyes brimming with tears.


    ''''No...'''' Isaac entered the house onest time and hugged Amanda''s mature-like body with her white hair that closely resembled his, reaching all the way to her buttocks, ''''I think... You are my only friend left in real life... You were the only one who visited me in the hospital, apart from Damien, of course.''''


    Amanda widened her eyes in shock as the tears still kept trickling down her face, ''''N-No one? W-Why? N-Not even Oliver? H-He told me that he visited you...''''


    ''''Doesn''t matter... It will be revealed soon.'''' Isaac stopped hugging her and wiped her tears while pinching her soft cheeks, ''''Crybaby... Always crying, even after happy endings in the movies.''''


    ''''Hmph...'''' Amanda pouted and gave a slight giggle as she wiped the rest of the tearstains, ''''A-And you wonder why I loved you... Always ready tofort me like this... Dummy.''''


    Isaac chuckled and let go of her cheeks; he put his hand forwards and said, ''''Friends? I am sorry that we couldn''t be more... But I missed yourpany.''''


    Amanda gave a slight smile as she grabbed his hand, ''''I missed you too... It has been boring and dull without you.'''' She gave a strained chuckle, but her face still showed some relief and slight pain.


    Isaac wryly smiled and felt hurt to see Amanda''s pained face and even thought a few times of just epting her confession.


    He quickly shook his head and saw a stic bag on the floor. He curiously picked up and looked at the interior of the bag; he saw a DVD, bag of candies, and stuff that was specially bought for Amanda.


    Isaac recognized the movie as Amanda''s favorite, as well the bag of candies.


    Amanda looked at the bag and said, ''''Oliver must have forgotten about it.''''


    Isaac nodded and took the DVD from the bag, ''''Hmm, are you up for a movie night?'''' He showed the DVD, which earned a smile from Amanda.


    ''''Don''t you hate horror movies?'''' She asked with a smug smile.


    Isaac chuckled and shook his head, ''''Not anymore.... After all, I experienced a horror movie.''''

 Chapter 132 - Beginning Of The Revenge.

    The sky was getting darker, and a certain house somewhere in Snowstar was brightly lit.


    The house was mostly in the color of white, with the roof was in the shade of grey, with a slight metallic texture on it.


    One of the rooms on the second was brightly lit up, and two individuals were sitting on a bed with a TV not far from them was turned on, which was currently ying a movie.


    The room had white walls with a desk next to the window, and different kinds of posters on the wall, most of them were different athletics, and some were singers.


    There was a wardrobe, which for some reason, was tightly locked by a lock.


    The two figures both had beautiful white hair, and both of their gazes were heavily concentrated on the TV, but soon, the movie ended, and credits started rolling.


    ''''Ah!'''' Isaac stretched his limbs after sitting for so long without doing anything.


    Amanda sighed and sadly smiled as the movie ended because certain someone had to leave now.


    Isaac grabbed his phone from his pocket and saw over a hundred messages from many different individuals.


    He already told Michael that he would stay much longer, but he wonders what his family thinks of him staying in a girl''s room for hours.


    He has a lot of exining to doter.


    ''''Your family?'''' Amanda asked while trying to nce at the screen.


    Isaac nodded and stuffed it back into his pocket, ''''This was fun; it has been a long time since I had this much fun.'''' He said without any lies in his tone.


    He was also surprised that he didn''t feel impatient to go back home to y White Online; after all, he didn''t y for a whole day, and many yers must have passed his level by now!


    Even after finally reaching a level ceiling, which has not been reached by many, he is again left behind, but he doesn''t mind.


    He doesn''t regret spending his time in the hospital and at Amanda''s house.


    It was something that he enjoyed, and ying a game didn''t seem more important than making up their strained rtionship.


    Amanda smiled after hearing Isaac''s tone, and she felt like she would be much happier from now on after finally having him back in her life, even though not in the way she wanted.


    But, being with him was much better than without.


    Isaac hopped off the bed and took his jacket from the ground.


    With a jacket in his hand, he looked around the room onest time and said, ''''This room feels nostalgic, but also different.''''


    Amanda smiled and nodded as she stood up, ''''Yes...'''' She nced at the wardrobe and hoped that Isaac didn''t get curious about it.


    But, she was as lucky as Isaac noticed the weird phenomenon.


    ''''Why is your wardrobe locked? Seems inefficient.'''' Isaac asked with questioning looks.


    Amanda awkwardly chuckled as she tried to change the topic of conversation, ''''Some girl stuff, nothing special, anyway, can I visit you someday?'''' She looked hopeful.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Sure, but in a few weeks maybe, I will soon visit my grandparents.''''


    ''''Your grandparents?'''' Amanda frowned as she had never heard Isaac talking about them before.


    ''''Yes, I am visiting them for the first time.'''' Isaac left the room, while Amanda followed behind with many questions on her mind.


    ''''Why now?'''' She asked as they were walking down the stairs.


    ''''My father wanted me to, and I thought it would be fun,'''' Isaac replied, and they entered the first floor, with Amy and Anthony already waiting for them in the living room with gentle smiles as they saw their daughter and Isaac talking like they used to.


    ''''Oh.'''' Amanda nodded with understanding and watched as Isaac put his shoes on and his jacket.


    She kept tapping her fingers, thinking about what she should say. She never had problems talking with Isaac before, but now her mind is empty whenever she is even thinking about speaking.


    As her mouth opened, it soon closed after no words came out.


    Isaac soon stood up after finishing dressing up and noticed a photo on the wall, which was a picture of Amanda and her family, it was an old photo, and it was taken when she was 8 years old, and she had obvious signs of being very beautiful in the future.


    But in the picture, she had brown hair and not white.


    Amanda also looked at the picture and smiled slightly, ''''I looked way different.''''


    ''''Hmm... There are some resemnces.'''' Isaac said and opened the door; a dark neighborhood became visible, with only lightsing was from streetmps and from the houses.


    ''''S-See youter...'''' Amanda uttered her words and continued, ''''T-This was very fun, thank you.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Take care, Aunt Amy, Uncle Anthony, same to you!'''' He shouted thest bit and left the house, while shouts of Amy and Anthony rang in his ears.


    Amanda stood silently on the doorstep and watched as Isaac walked away. She sighed and closed the door; after it closed, she saw her parents standing with worried looks.


    ''''Honey, are you alright?'''' Amy asked and hugged her daughter''s soft body.


    ''''Nn...'''' Amanda gave a slight nod as she started feeling emotional while being in the warm embrace of her mother.


    Anthony patted his daughter''s head, he is sure that she will be better, but that needs the time andpany of a certain white-haired individual.


    ...


    *nk*


    Isaac opened a car''s door and entered it, where anxious-looking Michael was already waiting.


    ''''Young Master, you have made my situation very dire!'''' He said anxiously and flinched whenever his phone vibrated because he knew who was texting him.


    ''''No worries, I won''t let you get fired.'''' Isaac leaned on the seat and said, ''''Let''s go home.''''


    Michael sighed and asked, ''''How was the visit?'''' He started driving and waited for the answer.


    ''''It was... Excellent.'''' Isaac looked outside the window towards Amanda''s family''s building, but before that, he saw a ck-haired individual ring at his car from the windows of one of the buildings.


    It was Oliver, and he didn''t look happy, his face being pure red and curtains of his room were ripped to shredders.


    ''''I am not done with you...'''' Isaac turned his head away and clenched his fists, ''''My revenge has only begun....''''

 Chapter 133 - Mythical VR Helmet!

    The ck sedan, which carried Isaac, returned to the Whitelock residence after a long and fruitful day.


    Michael parked the car right in front of the entrance.


    He turned around to see Isaac about to open the door, ''''R-Remember, young master.''''


    Isaac chuckled and nodded, ''''You won''t end up in trouble.'''' He said and left the car.


    Michael sighed in relief.


    When Isaac was about to open the front door, it opened by itself before he even managed to put his hand on the door handle.


    Isaac saw a brown-haired individual opening with a knowing smile.


    ''''Isaac, you are in trouble.'''' Marvin said teasingly while leaning on the door.


    Isaac sighed, ''''That bad, huh?''''


    Marvin chuckled and led Isaac inside the house, ''''You better have a good excuse.''''


    Isaac rolled his eyes and entered the living room with Marvin and saw the rest of the family having a movie night as well; they were sitting on the spacious couch with their gazes locked on the screen, even after hearing footsteps behind them.


    ''''What is this?'''' Isaac whispered at the weird sight.


    Marvin chuckled and leaned closer to his ear, ''''Dad managed to keep your mother and sister in leash, so... They might not make a scene.''''


    Isaac raised an eyebrow and saw Maxwell sitting innocently while his mother was pouting, trying to resist looking at Isaac.


    He sighed in relief and took off his jacket and shoes. He and Marvin sat down in one of the smaller couches.


    Isabe was biting her lip, wanting to utter her words.


    But, Maxwell decided to be the one asking questions, ''''Isaac, how was your visit to the hospital?''''


    ''''Good...'''' Isaac said and shrugged, ''''It was a false rm; nothing was wrong with me.''''


    ''''Good... Where did you visit after the hospital?'''' Maxwell asked and took a cigar from the pocket and lit it up; his face showed calmness, and he was ready to calm down the situation if it was needed.


    Isaac tapped his leg and decided that lying would be unnecessary, ''''I visited... Amanda and her family.''''


    ''''Pfft!'''' Maxwell identally spat out the cigar after shocking words; even he didn''t expect him to visit that ce, his whole calm andposed look disappeared.


    ''''What?!'''' Alice screeched while Sophia widened her eyes in shock.


    Marvin smiled and whispered, ''''What a yer!''''


    Isaac rolled his eyes at Marvin, ''''Nothing happened.''''


    ''''Sure, sure.'''' Maxwell gave sneaky thumbs up and wiped his imaginary tears, ''''My little brother is a man... I need to tell my friends! No worries, Isaac, we will take you to the bar to get shitfaced!'''' He looked excited as he grabbed a phone, but soon someone pped him in the head.


    ''''O!'''' Marvin rubbed his painful head and looked at his mother, who looked angry.


    ''''Marvin!'''' She sternly shouted and looked towards Isaac with puppy eyes, ''''Isaac, nothing happened, r-right?''''


    Isaac rubbed his forehead and nodded, ''''We watched a movie, nothing else.''''


    ''''Good, good.'''' Isabe smiled and hopped back towards Maxwell, who was picking up leftovers of his fallen cigar.


    ''''Isaac...'''' Sophia suddenly talked towards Isaac.


    ''''Yes?'''' Isaac looked at his big sister and saw her curious look.


    ''''Why did you go there? What changed?'''' She asked curiously and moved her body slightly to hear Isaac better.


    ''''I found out that... She wasn''t at fault.'''' Isaac replied.


    Sophia nodded with understanding, but then she clenched her fist and leaned closer to Isaac''s ear as she whispered, ''''Today... You bought chocte, who was it for?''''


    Isaac widened his eyes and whispered back, ''''How did you know?''''


    ''''Rumors fly quick...'''' She whispered and stopped concentrating on Isaac and looked at the TV instead.


    Isaac frowned and looked at Sophia a few moments longer and felt her being strange.


    Alice crossed her arms and started sulking.


    After looking at the TV, Isaac''s eyelids started getting heavier, and he decided to go sleep.


    ''''Excuse me, I feel quite exhausted, so I will go sleep early,'''' Isaac said and saw everyone nodding, except Maxwell.


    ''''Isaac, take a look at the thing I gave you,'''' Maxwell said with a mysterious smile.


    ''''Alright?'''' Isaac said with a questioning look. He slowly walked up the stairs until he entered the fourth floor.


    After entering his room, he took off his shirt until only the t-shirt and his pants were left.


    *Yawn*


    He kept yawning all the way to his room, and the only thing in his mind was sleep, but before that, he looked at the cardboard box.


    He shrugged and sat down on his bed; with the cardboard box right in front of him, he used scissors to open it, and inside the cardboard box, he saw another smaller box.


    The box was in the color of ck and looked very metallic and sturdy.


    Isaac tapped the top of the box couple of times and indeed heard the sound of metal getting hit.


    He looked around the box and soon found a way to open it.


    *Clink*


    He pressed a button on the side, and only a clinking sound came as the top of the box opened.


    Inside the box, he saw a headgear in the color of ck; it was surrounded by stic, which was there to protect the headgear.


    Isaac grabbed the headgear, which looked like goggles the snowboarders used.


    With curiosity, he put the headgear on his head and covered his eyes with it.


    ''''Hmm? Why did dad give me this?'''' He thought it was ordinary headgear, but once he tried to take it off, he identally pressed a button on the side, and he felt something covering his body.


    Anxiously, he looked at his body and saw a ck skinsuit covering his whole body, all the way from his neck to his toes.


    ''''W-What is this?!'''' He grabbed the skinsuit and tried to rip it off, but he couldn''t even take proper hold of it, let alone rip it off.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    A dinging sound rang in his ears as something appeared in his vision.


    It was like a holographic screen, simr to the one in White Online.


    [Wee yer Wraith!]


    [You will enter a new world with a whole new experience with the help of Mythical VR Helmet!]


    [Mythical VR Helmet will put your body in aatose state, which will keep your body perfectly healthy and energetic]


    [You can y without any worries for your well-being!]


    [Do you want to enter White Online?]


    [ept/Reject]


    ''''W-What...'''' Isaac tried to rub his eyes to see if it was real, but the headgear was on the way, and instead, he rubbed the visor.


    ''''Mythical... Is this real...'''' Isaac nced towards his wardrobe, where his Bronze VR Helmet was located.


    ''''If this is really real... I have to find out!'''' Isaac took a deep breath and opened his eyes one more time, ''''ept!''''


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Legacies Awaits You!]


    Isaac''s real-life body lifelessly lied down on the bed as his face became emotionless and the visor started showing a text.


    [Game: White Online - Status: Excellent]

 Chapter 134 - Strange Sensation.

    ''''Ahh...'''' Isaac opened his eyes in satisfaction, and a scent of fresh air assaulted his nostrils, which gave him a scent he has rarely had a chance to smell, a scent of summer.


    After opening his eyes, darkness was the only thing he saw, except the lighting from the moon.


    He slowly moved to sit up and as he stretched his numb muscles, a familiar holographic screen popped in front of him.


    [Legacy Tournament Commences in 2 Days 13 hour 34 minutes]


    [Contenders: 51]


    ''''51...'''' Isaac murmured and stood up, but it felt very strange, which caused him to trip, but before he fell down to the ground, with unbelievable timing, he put his other leg in front of him, which stopped his fall.


    ''''Eh?'''' He frowned and stood straight, but even that felt different.


    It was like every move he made was... Smooth, very smooth.


    He put his hand in front of him and moved the fingers back and forth.


    It was like his limbs listened to him before he even decided to make his move.


    ''''Ah right...'''' Isaac remembered that apparently, he used Mythical VR Helmet to enter the game, which still feels unreal.


    ''''One way to find out...'''' Isaac said and murmured, ''''Interface...''''


    A blue holographic screen appeared in front of him, and he looked straight towards the time limit, and the sight shocked him.


    He didn''t see any numbers or words.


    Instead he saw a symbol...


    A symbol of infinity.


    ''''It wasn''t a dream...'''' He murmured with disbelief, he ruffled his hair and looked outside the window to see empty streets, with lighting from a few of the houses, but most were pitch dark.


    He closed the curtains and went towards a gasmp and turned it on, which colored the room in a yellowish hue.


    He sat down on the bed and still felt sleepiness assaulting his senses.


    ''''Weird... I haven''t felt tired before in the game...'''' His eyelids started getting heavier, and soon he fell asleep in a sitting position.


    The sky started getting brighter until it became grey, then blue until it was bright blue with a beautiful yellow object floating in outer space.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac groggily opened his eyes and thought he would see his room in real-life, but unexpectantly, he saw his rented room.


    He slowly stood up and couldn''t believe it.


    ''''Mythical VR Helmet... H-How did dad get this...'''' He sat down on the chair with a wooden desk in front of him.


    The wooden desk was quite torn, making cracking noises every time someone even touched it.


    Isaac didn''t mind it and took two items from the Inventory and put them gently on the desk.


    Those two items were the ones he received from Duo Dungeon.


    Rare Quest Token and Sense Enchantment Token.


    He knew what Quest Token does but had no idea about the second one.


    ''''Eh...'''' Suddenly he felt a chill and finally noticed him being without a shirt, he now remembered that he had destroyed his previous shirt and was now without any shirt.


    He scratched his head and whispered, ''''I wish I had more clothes...''''


    After those words were heard in the room, suddenly, the wind started increasing in intensity, making Isaac''s white hair flutter back and forth.


    ''''Damn...'''' He pushed the bangs out of the way of his eyes and put the two items back on his Inventory.


    He pressed a few buttons on the holographic screen, and a Lizard Scale Armor appeared around his body, but it still left his arms visible, without any cover.


    ''''Maybe Be can help me...'''' He hoped that she wasn''t busy, he left his room and went straight towards the bottom floor.


    Someone obviously heard his footsteps because a certain girl peeked from the kitchen and smiled, ''''You are up!'''' It was Be, and she looked cheerful as always.


    ''''Be, I have a favor to ask.'''' Isaac entered the kitchen and saw Be cooking breakfast.


    ''''Sure, what is it?'''' She turned her body halfway and asked with her hands still working on the breakfast.


    ''''I don''t have any clothes, can you buy some for me? I can''t exactly go out looking like this.'''' Isaac pointed at himself, who was only wearing leather pants and Lizard Scale Armor.


    Be turned around to see Isaac''s outfit and nodded, ''''I can do that, any preferences?''''


    Isaac shook his head and sat down on the chair, ''''No, thank you.''''


    ''''No problem!'''' Be replied cheerfully and put the breakfast on two different tes, which were simple bacon and eggs.


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac took the te gratefully and instantly took a bite after not being able tost any longer after being overwhelmed by the delicious scent.


    Even the food tasted different; it was much more refined, with the taste reaching every fiber, every nerve, every sense in his body. Even the tip of the tongue felt like it has never experienced pleasure like this before.


    Isaac closed his eyes and started liking the Mythical VR Helmet even more with each passing second.


    Be smiled after seeing Isaac enjoying it so much. She also started eating, and soon both of them finished.


    ''''I will return in the afternoon, so until then, you have to wait,'''' Be said with a sorry smile.


    ''''It''s fine, I will find something to do meanwhile,'''' Isaac replied and watched as Be started putting on her clothes, and soon she was ready to leave.


    She gave one final smile and left the house, leaving Isaac alone.


    ''''Let''s see...'''' Isaac again put the Interface in front of him and went to his Friend List, and saw Darth being online.


    He tapped his name and started typing a message.


    He asked where he was currently, and it didn''t take long for him to receive a reply.


    ''''In the Forest of Unknown...'''' Isaac murmured and tapped the kitchen table with his index finger; every now and then, he was trying to move his fingers to get used to the Mythical VR Helmet.


    He would like to test against a monster or beast, but for now, he has to wait until he can truly see the potential of his new VR Helmet.


    Or, it is hard to be called a VR Helmet.


    VR Headgear would be more proper, but Helmet has already been a well-known calling term.

 Chapter 135 - Marksman Class Quest.

    Isaac was sitting in the living room of the apartment, where his rented room was located.


    He was holding a blue-colored Token and was moving it around skillfully with the help of his fingers.


    *Clink*


    He used his middle finger and flicked the token, and sent it airborne.


    Token slowly flipped around and started descending. Isaac turned his palm around, and tokennded on it perfectly.


    ''''So boring...'''' Isaac murmured with annoyance. It had been a few hours since Be left, and he knew that she had other things in her life, but he was getting frustrated knowing that everyone was increasing their levels while he was doing nothing.


    Looking at the Rare Quest Token, he debated whether he should use it now orter; who knows, maybe it has 1-hour time limit toplete it.


    ''''Interface,'''' Isaac said and threw the Token back to the Inventory and took another Token, which was Sense Enchantment Token.


    After reading the name multiple times, he might have a hunch about what it does.


    Obviously, it enhances the senses, but the question is, will it be all senses or only one and which one.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Do you want to use Sense Enchantment Token?]

    Looking at the floating texts in front of him, he came to a conclusion and pressed ept.

    [Sense Enchantment Token used!]


    [Touch Sense has been enhanced!]


    [You will be more sensitive to pain, cold, hot, and pressure!]


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac slowly widened his eyes in shock, ''''That... Might not be good.'''' He looked at his hands and decided to test a theory.


    He put his right hand on the armrest and used his left hand''s thumb and index finger to pinch himself.


    Usually, he would feel nothing but numbness, but this time, he actually felt a slight pinching sensation.


    ''''Oh no...'''' Isaac facepalmed. It didn''t hurt as much as it would in real life, but what if he got shot? Or his arm gets cut off?


    The pain would be unimaginable.


    ''''Why was this added...'''' Isaac then had a thought. It was insane thought, but he had to be sure; otherwise, he would always be fighting with fear on his mind.


    He took his Musket Rifle from the Inventory and pointed the barrel towards his foot.


    ''''Haaahh... Haaahhhh...'''' Isaac gritted his teeth, and his grey eyes showed craziness, which had never seen the light of day before.


    *BANG!*


    He squeezed the trigger and prepared for a world of pain, but once the bullet went through his feet, which left a trail of blue liquid behind, he didn''t feel as much pain as he expected.


    The pain was simr to the pinching sensation he felt before; even though pinching and getting shot are two whole different pains, they didn''t feel that different.


    He finally sighed in relief; if he only received a pinching sensation after getting a shot or cut, he could live with that.


    Putting the Musket Rifle back to the Inventory, he heard hurried footsteps approaching the house, and soon the door was mmed open, and an anxious-looking ck-haired girl appeared with a bag that seemed to be brimming with clothes of different sorts.


    ''''I heard a loud sound, is everything alright?!'''' Be asked worryingly and saw Isaac sitting innocently while hiding his right foot.


    ''''Yes, I dropped something,'''' Isaac said and pointed at the vase, which unfortunately dropped from a nearby desk andnded on the floor, which made it cracked in half.


    ''''Oh.'''' Be sighed in relief and put the bag of clothes down to the floor, ''''It was cheap and quite old¡ª I nned to get rid of it anyway.''''


    Isaac stood up while still hiding his injured foot and slowly limped towards Be, who was currently looking inside the bag.


    ''''I got you a few clothes¡ª I hope they fit.'''' She said with a smile and offered the bag of clothes for Isaac.


    ''''Thanks¡ª how much did it cost?'''' Isaac asked and nned to pay her back.


    But Be shook her hand and said, ''''No need to pay, I have money to spare!''''


    ''''Eh...'''' Isaac looked conflicted and wanted to pay back, but then Be stormed out of the house once again while shouting, ''''I have to return to work!''''


    Isaac saw her running away from the window and shook his head with a wry smile.


    He limped towards the upstairs, all the way to his rented room, and once he arrived there, he put the bag to the floor and grabbed the first shirt he saw, and put it below his Armor.


    Finally, his arms were covered, and now he didn''t look like he was half-naked underneath the armor.


    He stuffed the bag into his wardrobe and left his room.


    After leaving his room, he was standing on a small corridor with stairs leading to downstairs.


    He grabbed the wooden handrail of the stairs and looked downstairs; he saw several rooms on the second floor, which were still unupied.


    ''''Interface...'''' Isaac again murmured, and the holographic screen started floating in the air in front of him.


    He once again took an item from the Inventory; it was a familiar blue-colored Token.


    It was Rare Quest Token.


    Isaac put it right in front of his face and examined it over and over until he came to a conclusion.


    ''''Something good...'''' He murmured; he flipped the Token in the air and said at the same time, ''''Use token.''''


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Do you want to use Rare Quest Token?]


    [ept/Reject]


    Without further ado, he pressed ept on the holographic screen.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [New Quest Acquired!]


    [Marksman ss Quest!]


    [Difficulty: Rare]


    [Reward: ??? ]


    [Time Limit: 24:00.00]


    [Do You ept This Quest?]


    [Yes/No]


    ''''Marksman Quest...'''' Isaac''s eyes sparkled as he pressed [Yes]


    The holographic screen disappeared, and the time started ticking down.


    ''''24 hours...'''' Isaac said and slowly walked down the stairs until he reached the bottom floor; after reaching the front door, he opened the map.


    The map showed a red dot beeping, and it was his next direction.


    Surprisingly, the red dot was beeping on a different map. He has Stronglord as the main map, but now... It was beeping on Swornword Vige!


    He has to return where he began his journey in White Online.


    It is time to return to Swornword!

 Chapter 136 - Village Chief Of Swornword.

    ''''Swornword... I thought I would never return there...'''' Isaac was about to open the front door, but then he remembered.


    ''''Right...'''' He opened the Interface one more time and took a pearl from his Inventory; it was Teleportation Pearl.


    ''''Why waste time when I can use this... I have fallen behind others, but now, it''s time to catch them.'''' Isaac smiled as he said, ''''Swornword Vige.''''


    The pearl started glowing on a beautiful greenish hue, and soon the glow covered his figure.


    Soon, the glow disappeared, and Isaac was also gone from the house.


    ...


    Isaac opened his eyes slowly after the glow disappeared, and he saw himself standing in the middle of Vige Square, belonging to Swornword Vige.


    He put the Pearl back to the Inventory and looked around the Square, and no one seemed surprised to see him suddenly appearing.


    Except, yers.


    They saw his Lizard Scale Armor, which is impossible to have at level 10.


    Rarely any Top yers return to the Starting Vige because it is a waste of time.


    Seeing his fancy getup, there were some who wanted to hug his thigh and get him to help them to reach a high level, and some... Wanted to rob his items and gain a massive advantage over others.


    But, they aren''t foolish enough to believe that they can defeat someone with the level of 20.


    It needed to be nned very carefully and thoroughly.


    Around a small table, around 20 meters away from Isaac.


    Five robed figures eyed Isaac with greedy gazes and started murmuring with each other.


    Who knows what they were nning.


    ''''Interface,'''' Isaac said simply and opened the map.


    The red dot was located in a ce where he didn''t expect it. In Vige Chief''s house.


    ''''How should I get there...'''' Isaac looked towards thergest building in the vige and saw the two Guards, and he recognized them.


    One of them was the one who cut one of the yers in half without any effort.


    They were guarding the gates of the Vige Chief''s house with stoic looks. None of the yers dared to go even close to them because the Guards stare made them both fearful and pressured.


    Isaac having no other n, decided to go talk to them.


    As he started walking towards the guards, both NPCs and yers around the Vige Square looked at him with questioning looks, wondering why he was going towards Vige Chief''s house.


    The Guards became wary and grabbed their weapons tighter. Seeing the armor the individual had, they knew he wasn''t a push-over like others in the vige.


    ''''Excuse me, can I visit Vige Chief?'''' Isaac asked politely, which didn''t reduce the wariness of the Guards.


    ''''What is the purpose of your visit?'''' The first Guard asked with his hand on the sword''s hilt.


    ''''I have a Quest.'''' Isaac pressed a few buttons in front of him and opened the Quest Interface, and swung it around with a wave of his hand, so the Guards could see it.


    The Guards leaned slightly and saw the texts on the Quest.


    The first Guard didn''t seem impressed at first, but then he remembered the orders of the Vige Chief.


    ''If someone with Marksman ss Questes... Let him enter and treat him with respect.'' His words echoed in the Guard''s mind as he slowly widened his eyes in shock.


    The second Guard wasn''t there when the Vige Chief said those words; that''s why he had an unmistakable frown on his face.


    ''''You may enter.'''' The first Guard suddenly said, which came as a surprise for both Isaac and the second Guard.


    ''''Why?'''' The second Guard whispered and looked warily towards the white-haired young man.


    ''''Vige Chief''s orders.'''' He replied and stepped to the side as the gates opened behind him.


    The second Guard looked shocked at first before he also nodded and stepped to the side.


    Under shocked looks of both yers and NPCs, Isaac entered the Vige Chief''s house without any hups.


    Entering through the front doors, a corridor with a length of 20 meters appeared in front of him. The walls were the color of red with a shade of brown. There was also different painting on the walls after every 1 meter or so.


    Isaac looked towards the end of the corridor, where a door with another guard was located.


    The Guard was wearing a heavy-looking armor with his hand on the sword''s tilt.


    Isaac slowly started walking towards the guard but suddenly came to a step after feeling something weird underneath his feet.


    Looking at the floor, he tilted his head with imaginary question marks popping above his head. For some reason, the floor was made of grass, very soft grass.


    Everything else was wooden, but the floor was definitely one of the weirdest things he had seen so far.


    He crouched so he could feel the floor better. He used his fingers to feel the texture of the grass, and since he had never had a chance to feel it in real life, he didn''t know whether the feeling was real or not but knowing the realism of White Online, he expected it to feel real.


    Ignoring the grass, for now, he stood up and approached the Guard, who took his hand away from the sword''s hilt and opened the doors with one simple motion.


    Isaac did a small nod, and surprisingly, the Guard nodded as well, but it was a much deeper nod with hidden meaning.


    After entering the room, he saw surprisingly a chandelier with blue crystals hanging from it.


    It was not all; there were also over four bookshelves, with hundred books each, easily thergest book collection he has seen one person having.


    The room itself was quitefy, with arge table in the middle and a leather couch, some meters away from the firece.


    The floor, this time, was wooden with afy carpet made of wolf fur.


    Isaac noticed that this building didn''t have a futuristic look like Be''s; instead very 1800s.


    *Creak*


    He quickly snapped his head towards the direction of the noise and saw one of the doors opening.


    The firece started burning hotter, with mes increasing in intensity and in height.

 Chapter 137 - Ian, Mysterious Old Man.

    ''''Ahh... You must be Wraith...'''' An old man with hunched back entered through the open door with his aged face having a gentle smile. His short grey hair had bangs going over his eyes, which made his eyes slightly obscure, but it wasn''t too difficult to see his fiery red eyes, screaming ferocity and strength.


    ''''Yes... Who are you?'''' Isaac asked and tried to see the old man''s nametag, but for some reason, it wasn''t visible.


    ''''Hehe...'''' The old man chuckled innocently and waved his hand, ''''I am not NPC.''''


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac screamed in shock.


    ''''Yes...'''' The old man, with the help of his wooden cane, moved closer to the leather couch and slowly, but surely, sat down.


    He gently tapped the seat next to him and uttered with his aged tone, ''''Sit down, young man.''''


    Isaac nodded slightly and sat down next to him, his head full of questions.


    ''''Questions... I can answer them.'''' The old man said with a small smile, ''''We have time...''''


    ''''Are you a yer?'''' Was Isaac''s first question.


    The old man smiled mysteriously and patted his kneecap with feeble strength, ''''yer, huh... You don''t think I am a yer?'''' He asked with an amused smile and being truly curious.


    ''''I can''t see your nametag... If you aren''t a yer or NPC... What are you?'''' Isaac felt like the identity of the old man was far from simple and might even be shocking enough to destroy his understanding of reality.


    ''''Well... First of all, should we do proper introductions first?'''' The old man asked and pointed at himself with his wrinkly hand, ''''My name is Ian, what is yours?''''


    Isaac looked at Ian''s red eyes, which looked calm, ferocious, powerful, and trustworthy.


    He took a deep breath and revealed his identity, ''''Isaac...''''


    Ian nodded gently and continued his talk, ''''Are you sure I am not a yer?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''I mean... You must be a yer¡ª how else you could be here?''''


    ''''Right, how else.'''' Ian chuckled and asked a surprising question, ''''How is the Mythical Helmet working for you?''''


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac almost jumped up on his feet, but Ian put his hand on his leg, which made him almost paralyzed.


    It was like he was trying to move a mountain while trying to stand.


    ''''No need to be surprised...'''' Ian sighed and looked at the painting above the firece; his eyes showed pain for a split second before he continued, ''''I am a yer, but being a Vige Chief gives me certain kinds of benefits...''''


    Isaac sighed and thought that he was once again being silly. Of course, he is a yer; what else would he be?


    Ian slightly smiled after seeing the white-haired young man believing him so soon. It isn''t strange; after all, what would his reaction be if he revealed the truth? Not many would believe, and some wouldn''t want to believe it.


    Isaac turned around to see a painting and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman with shoulder-length brown hair. Her body stature was one of mature and dangerous beauty.


    She was holding a hand of a little girl with innocent facial features and a shy look on her adorable face. Her hair which was styled in pigtails, was in the color of ck, with her chubby cheeks having pimples and her pointy nose scrunched intoughter.


    ''''How did you be Vige Chief as yer?'''' Isaac asked, wanting to know more about identity of the mysterious old man.


    ''''Every vige has a special quest¡ª I was lucky enough toplete it, nothing special,'''' Ian replied, which earned a nod from Isaac.


    ''''Enough of this old man''s ramblings... You must be curious about your quest?'''' Ian shifted his body slightly to see Isaac''s face better.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Marksman ss Quest.''''


    ''''Yes...'''' Ian, with his aged hand, tapped something in the air, and a holographic screen appeared in front of Isaac.


    [You havepleted Marksman ss Quest!]


    [Do you ept rewards?]


    [ept/Reject]


    ''''W-Wait, what?'''' Isaac frowned and instantly thought that it was another trick like with Untrustworthy Swordsman.


    He was instantly about to press Reject, but then Ian used the wooden cane to p his hand away.


    ''''Oww...'''' Isaac rubbed his painful palm, which surprisingly hurt more than the shot in the leg.


    ''''Don''t be so hasty young man...'''' Ian chuckled, ''''Patience is key... It is not a scam¡ª this is the Quest... Your journey should have been filled with difficulty if you had used ordinary means of arriving there... But Teleportation Pearl made it easy for you, but it''s fine.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac scratched his head with awkwardness and was about to press ept, but again, Ian pped his hand away.


    This time, Isaac frowned and asked, ''''Why do you keep pping my hand away?''''


    ''''Again, patience is key...'''' Ian said with a small smile and stood up to start walking towards the firece, with dangerously hot mes.


    ''''You haven''t chosen your skill yet, right?'''' He asked suddenly.


    ''''Yes, how did you know that?'''' Isaac felt like Ian was not exactly an ordinary Vige Chief.


    ''''Choose Icy Shot,'''' Ian said, and under Isaac''s shocked eyes, he touched the mes with his face still calm as ever.


    ''''What are you doing?!'''' Isaac jumped up and was about to stop whatever he was doing, but then.


    Ian turned around, and surprisingly, he was holding a ball made of fire in his hands.


    ''''Choose Icy Shot.'''' Ian used his index finger to touch the fireball, making it spin.


    ''''Why? No offense, but I don''t know you, and I don''t think Icy Shot is the best decision.'''' Isaac said with his brows furrowed. His curiosity about the identity of the old man kept increasing.


    ''''Trust me, you won''t regret it.'''' Ian grabbed the fireball and threw it back to the firece, ''''If you decide to trust me... Choose your skill first before epting your rewards.'''' With the help of his wooden cane, he slowly walked out of the room, leaving confused Isaac alone.


    *Crkkk*


    The fireballnded in the middle of the firece, making the intense fire increase in ferocity.


    ''''Weird old man...'''' Isaac opened his Interface and put the skills in front of him, he felt tempted to choose either Explosive Shot or Sniper of mes, but now he has a third option.


    Icy Shot!

 Chapter 138 - Icy Shot.

    Isaac was sitting in front of the firece, expecting to see the old man returning, but he left and never returned.


    The holographic screen of Quest beingpleted was still floating in front of his eyes.


    ''''Should I really believe him...'''' He started biting his nails and felt very doubtful, but the old man seemed to know what he was talking about.


    ''''I don''t really lose anything... Icy Shot is still a special skill.'''' Coming to a conclusion, he decided to y with the fate and pressed Icy Shot without even looking for information on the skill.

    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Quest Completed!]


    [Congrattions, yer Wraith, for sessfullypleting Marksman ss Quest!]


    [Reward: Unique Outfit Specially Made for yer Wraith!]


    ''''Unique outfit...?'''' Isaac thought it was a strange reward, but soon he felt something warm covering his body.


    He turned his head to look at his outfit and didn''t see his Lizard Scale Armor anymore!


    Instead, he was wearing a ck-colored jacket with a hood covering his head and pants, also in the color of ck with boots that fit him perfectly.


    Isaac pressed a button in front of him and took the information about the outfit.


    ___


    [Wraith''s Camouge]


    [Rank: Unique]


    [Description: User can perfectly camouge in every terrain and weather. The outfit can change colors with voicemand; give it a try, yer!]


    ___


    ''''Camouge and can change colors with voicemand...'''' Isaac touched the jacket''s texture and felt it was very silky and pleasant to touch. He stood up from the couch and went to a nearby mirror to check his look.


    At first, he didn''t even recognize himself.


    His white-haired was a surprisingly perfect match for the ck camouge and made him look very nice to look at. This time, he didn''t look beautiful; instead... Cool, with the ck hood covering some part of his head.


    Isaac used his right hand to push the hood off, and some time admired the craftsmanship of his new outfit.


    He raised his leg slightly and used his hand to feel the soft texture of the shoe; his previous shoes were somewhat bad, even hard to walk with sometimes.


    His run towards the Beast Forest caused massive leg pains because sometimes it felt like he was running without shoes, and he was perhaps happiest to get new shoes.


    ''''Ah, right... Voicemand.'''' Isaac looked at the mirror and said the first color that came to mind, ''''Brown.''''


    It was the first color that came to his mind because of the brownish walls.


    His ck-colored outfit changed colors quickly, until it was brown, resembled a lot of color of trees.


    He looked at his sleeves and hood. Indeed, it changed colors perfectly.


    ''''White.'''' Next color was white, and this time his outfit was identical to the color of his hair.


    His hair was hard to be noticed if it was underneath the hood.


    ''''If I was fighting in a snowy environment... Who could possibly spot me?'''' Isaac chuckled and felt like he had gotten hands on the cheat and felt excited about possibilities.


    Every yer wants something unique that can be flexed and used to get an advantage over others.


    Isaac isn''t different. He wants to have some uniqueness in himself, and he already knows that his looks are as unique as it gets, but now, he has something that no one else has.


    Perfect Camouge!


    Unfortunately, it didn''t give him extra HP, and after Isaac touched his chest, he felt the hard texture of the Lizard Scale Armor underneath. That was another advantage.


    No one knows how strong his Armor will be.


    Soon, Isaac stopped admiring his new outfit and turned around to look towards the direction where the old man disappeared to.


    He still had questions, and he felt like the old man had something he wanted to reveal but couldn''t.


    An item popped from his Inventory andnded on his palm. It was Teleportation Pearl, he could teleport away and try to start catching up on other yers, but he felt like if he left, he would regret it.


    With a sigh, he threw it back to his Inventory and slowly walked towards the door, where the old man disappeared to.


    During his walk, he noticed a strange thing.


    His footsteps didn''t make any noise!


    Isaac looked surprised until a thrilling look appeared on his face.


    *Creak*


    He slowly opened the door and entered another room, which was surprisingly empty.


    It was a quite small room with a wooden table in the middle with six wooden chairs. There was also a gamp on the middle of the table, which had turned on, causing a yellow color to spread around the small room.


    He also saw bookshelves, but most of them were old withyers of dust on top.


    On the other side of the room was a staircase leading to another floor.


    Isaac walked past across the room and took the first step on the wooden staircase.


    *Creak*


    His body''s weight caused a slight creaking noise to appear, but he didn''t mind and continued moving his legs up and down as he walked up the staircase.


    On top of the staircase was another wooden door, which was slightly ajar.


    Isaac slowly opened the door and saw the old man praying in front of a small statue. His aged eyes were shut down, and his wrinkly hands were on praying gesture.


    He entered the room silently and finally saw the interior of the room.


    It resembled of an attic with soft carpet on the floor and the only lighting was from the open window, which showed the bright blue sky.


    The old man slowly opened his eyes, and gentle smile appeared on his face, ''''Isaac,e here.... Pray with me, Gods will hear our prayings.''''

 Chapter 139 - The Legend Of Wraith.

    Isaac nodded and sat down next to Ian.


    He slowly put his two hands together into a praying gesture and looked towards the statue.


    The grey statue was a figure of a muscr man with long hair and half of his face being obscure, while the other half was disfigured. The figure was holding a hammer in his left hand, and his right hand was on mes.


    Ian closed his eyes and lowered his head.


    Isaac stayed in his thoughts for close to ten minutes before Ian finally decided to open his eyes.


    ''''Thank you for listening to my ramblings, God Hephaestus...'''' Ian muttered under his breath and turned his gaze towards Isaac, who also opened his eyes.


    ''''Isaac, I see you made your choice.'''' He said and looked at Isaac''s white outfit.


    ''''Yeah...'''' Isaac replied and asked, ''''Why Icy Shot?''''


    ''''Why not?'''' Ian asked back with a small smile, ''''Because it doesn''t sound fancy like Sniper of mes, I gotta admit... Arthur has good naming sense.'''' He chuckled innocently.


    ''''It sounds inefficient...'''' Isaac scratched his head and decided to reveal his thoughts, ''''Explosive Shot is obviously offensive skill, and so is Sniper of mes, while Icy Shot can only freeze my opponents, why won''t I use ordinary bullet so I can at least injure them?''''


    ''''There is a reason why Arthur didn''t add cooldowns on your Skills, Illusionary Shot and Icy Shot... They can be fired infinitely, but Explosive Shot and Sniper of mes have restrictions. Do you understand what I am trying to say?'''' Ian saw Isaac realizing something important.


    ''''Now that I think about it... It indeed has its uses.'''' Isaac rubbed his forehead and couldn''t believe that he had forgotten something so simple. He never noticed a reason why there aren''t restrictions on his skills.


    Ian gently patted his shoulder and slowly stood up, ''''Aye... I have indeed gotten older...'''' He grabbed the wooden cane from the side and used it to keep himself standing.


    Isaac used his arms to push himself up, he still had questions about the old man''s identity, but he didn''t know how to ask about them.


    ''''It is no time for you to ask important questions...'''' Ian said, and at the end of his sentence, he had to catch his breathing before he could continue again, ''''You are young, still weak and inexperienced... When you reach level 100,e back, and I will answer your questions.''''


    ''''What is so important?'''' Isaac asked as Ian started walking towards the door, ''''Isn''t this only a game?''''


    *TAP!*


    Ian tapped the floor with enough strength to make the whole building shake, but Isaac''s didn''t feel like only the building was shaking.


    It was like the whole world was!


    Isaac trying to stabilize his body, almost fell down on his butt, but soon, the shaking stopped.


    Ian sighed and continued his walks with his aged words ringing in Isaac''s ears, ''''This is not only a game... It is much more than that.''''


    After he left, Isaac woke from his stupor and knew that he had touched a sensitive topic.


    For the old man, it didn''t seem like it was only a game. It was like real life.


    ''''100th level... Then I can know the answers...'''' Isaac gazed at the closed door onest time before a pearl appeared on his hand, and his words echoed in the empty room, ''''Forest of Unknown.''''


    ...


    *SWOOSH*


    The wind started blowing in greater intensity, which caused the leaves and the tree branches to move alongside the wind.


    In the middle of the forest, a small pearl appeared out of nowhere, and next, a figure with an outfit full of white appeared out of nowhere.


    Isaac raised his head and looked around him quickly; he saw himself standing in a dimly lit forest with trees everywhere around him.


    ''''ck.'''' He muttered, and soon his white outfit changed colors.


    First, it was his hood that changed from white to ck.


    Then his shoulders all the way to his fingertips.


    After that, the color started spreading like a gue from the sleeves all the way to his cor.


    It didn''t take long for his jacket to be fully painted on ck, and then it was time for his pants. The colors slowly started changing, starting from the top of the pants slowly the ck color tainted the white color.


    After his pants were ck, it didn''t take long for the same fate to happen to his shoes.


    Isaac looked at himself and could barely see his fingers, let alone his outfit. In the dark forest, he was almost invisible.


    At first, he thought about using brown and green colors, but ck was obviously a better choice in a dark forest.


    After he was done checking out if it worked, ''''Interface...'''' He opened the Interface and looked at his Friend List.


    He currently had five friends, and all of them were online.


    What he looked at was nickname [Night]


    He added Luna as his friend while he was waiting for clothes, and it didn''t even take 10 seconds for her to ept.


    ''''...'''' He swiped his hand and closed the Friend List; he pressed the Inventory button and took his trusty Musket Rifle from there.


    Moving his jacket slightly, he saw his pouches hanging from his waist and counted the bullets quickly, and there was more than enough.


    After he was done counting. It was time to go grind XP.


    ''''Been so long since I could only y without any interruptions...'''' He remembered his time in Swornword Vige and the first time he entered Forest of Unknown.


    He only fought against Monsters and Beasts, but after that, he fought against other yers and Mythical Figures like Baba Yaga.


    This time, he isn''t only grinding XP.


    It was time to see what can his Mythical VR Helmet do.


    He has gotten somehow used to the movement, but it still seems too fast, which almost makes him trip every once in a while.


    Slowly, he started walking, before he started jogging and soon, he was running.


    He noticed the trees were going past him much faster than before, and he felt like he could do anything.


    He saw a tree in the distance, and he had a wild idea.


    Isaac remembered how easily Archers could move in the trees, and he felt it being very useful.


    A grin appeared on his face as he put all his strength on his right foot.


    *Swoosh!*


    He made a jumping motion, and soon his foot left the ground and became airborne.


    Isaac was nigh invisible in the dimly lit forest, and there was no one who could have seen the incredible sight.


    His body almost flew through the sky, but when he was about tond on the ground, his foot collided with the tree, and he used it as a spring to leap towards a nearby tree branch.


    Swiftly and with ease, hended on the tree branch.


    ''''Haha...'''' A small chuckle escaped his mouth as he looked down to the ground.


    Just like that, he easily jumped over 10 meters. He doesn''t have to climb trees anymore.


    He can jump instead!


    Isaac, after getting over his initial excitement, jumped towards the next branch and kept using the trees and branches as his foothold.


    Soon, he got the hang of it and started moving stealthily in the trees, invisible and dangerous.


    This was the start of Isaac''s legend.


    Legend of Wraith, The Most Feared Sniper.

 Chapter 140 - Poison.

    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [400 XP Earned!]


    [XP: 2250/5900]


    ''''Whew, another one.'''' Isaac wiped the blood from the de of his Musket Rifle. A corpse of a dead Goblin lied on the bottom of his feet, but soon, it started turning into pixels before disappearing to nothingness.


    He has tried to test the limits of Mythical VR Helmet, but fighting against Monsters who can''t even survive one sh or bullet from him is useless.


    After cleaning the green liquid from his de, which was Goblin''s blood, he turned around and continued his walk in the dimly lit forest.


    He used to jump on the trees because it was both faster and very exciting at first, but if he wants to see Monsters better, he needs to move slowly and carefully.


    After walking another ten minutes, he arrived on a small rocky path. Curiosity filled his face as the rocky path was leading in two different directions, he didn''t know which one to choose, but he decided the one, which went deeper into the forest.


    With quiet footsteps, he walked for who knows how long. He didn''t hurry or slow down too much, but he was also starting to feel slight hunger.


    He rubbed his stomach and knew it was the effects of the Mythical VR Helmet.


    Most of the stuff about Mythical VR Helmet is secret, and rumors can''t possibly know about everything.


    Isaac didn''t expect him to be the first Mythical VR Helmet user because it wouldn''t make any sense. He expected everyone who went to a meeting in Legacy Company to get one.


    But, he indeed is the only one in the world with Mythical VR Helmet.


    ''''I need to bring food from now on...'''' Isaac muttered under his breath, and without being aware, he arrived in front of a massive mountain.


    He saw something in front of him, which caused his attention to be distracted.


    In front of the mountain was a greyish stairway leading to the top of the mountain, but he couldn''t see what was on the top.


    It was very foggy, but with his great vision, he saw an outline of buildings!


    Isaac was surprised and shocked that there was actually civilization!


    But he didn''t lower his guard. Even Goblin''s had vige, and there are smarter Monsters than them.


    He took his Musket Rifle from his back and put it in firing position as he slowly started walking up the stairs.


    After seeing that with his current pace, it would take him an hour to reach the top, he decided to increase his pace and used his agility stats to limit and jumped over dozen steps with one leap.


    But, he was still ready to shoot anything that moved.


    Twenty minutester.


    He took the final step on the stairs andnded his feet on the top.


    Looking behind him, he saw lengthy stairways and the forest beneath. If he fell from there, he would be a crushed pancake once he hits the ground.


    Wiping the cold sweat, he turned around to see another stone path; he saw an empty yard with rocky ground, and in the distance was a temple!


    The temple was in the color of grey with ck-colored pirs and a sign on top of the temple.


    [Temple of Thieves]


    ''''Temple of Thieves... That doesn''t sound good.'''' Isaac looked around and, after seeing the ce being abandoned, with no soul sight, decided to start walking towards the temple in the distance.


    The front yard was massive, at least 500 meters in length and wide, but it wasn''tpletely smooth.


    With mountain peaks were in some ces higher and somewhere lower.


    But, the path in front of him was smooth, which led straight towards the entrance of the temple.


    Soon, he reached the entrance of the temple, and the interior seemed empty with only one altar on the other side of the room, with dozens of different cups.


    Ayer of dust was visible on the floor of the temple and around the altar.


    *Creak*


    Isaac stepped on the wooden floor, making an annoying creaking sound. A sound is usually heard in old buildings and cottages.


    He instantly noticed this building being very old, and it was a surprise that it was even standing, but the temple''s foundations were tightly locked with the mountain.


    Isaac went straight towards the altar and stopped in front of the old cups. He looked inside the cups, and surprisingly they weren''t empty; instead was, brimming with greenish mold.


    He grimaced after the disgusting smell prated his senses and entered his nostrils.


    ''''Damn...'''' He muttered with annoyance and used his hand to wave off the disgusting smell, but then, a notification he didn''t expect to see popped up in front of him.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [You have been poisoned!]


    [You will lose 1 HP every second!]


    [Your movement speed is reduced by 10%!]


    [Your vision is reduced by 30%!]


    Isaac kept blinking a couple of times and saw everything bing blurry, and he saw cups multiplying.


    He rubbed his eyes, and once he opened them again, it was even worse. Some of the colors changed as everything became green-colored.


    ''''P-Poisoned...'''' Isaac fell down on his knees and tried to get his mind running because so far, he had no idea what to do if he got poisoned!


    ''''A-Antidote... A-Anywhere...'''' He crawled towards the altar and rummaged through all the cabs, but everything was empty.


    When he started thinking that was he unlucky to get poisoned, he heard waves ofughter behind him.


    ''''Hahaha, another one!'''' Isaac turned his head towards the entrance of the temple, and with his blurry vision, he saw outlines of figures appearing.


    ''''This is so easy! These... yers are so nosy.'''' A ck-robed figure with the name of Rob said with a grinning face.


    Another 9 figures popped up behind him and circled around Isaac, who was currently trying to stand up.


    ''''His weapon must be expensive!'''' One of the ck-robed figures with the name of Sulo said. He was rubbing his messy brown beard and had a greedy look on his dirty face.


    ''''Not only that... His outfit seems very special...'''' One of the ck-robed figures crouched next to Isaac and touched the texture, ''''Silky and smooth! This is incredible!'''' His name was Yrjo, and his mouth was stretched into a disgusting smile.


    ''''Not only that...'''' Rob crouched in front of Isaac and touched his face, ''''He also looks very girly.... There are some sick bastards who will pay a good amount for him, tie him up, we have a payday ahead!''''

 Chapter 141 - Ten Thieves.

    ''''W-Who are you?'''' Isaac asked with a rough tone. He had some difficulties in breathing and even more difficulties in standing.


    His body felt very different, almost like his body belonged to someone else.


    He managed to move into a kneeling position, but the shadows from ck-robed figures ovepped his figure, making him look small and powerless.


    [-1 HP]


    ''''We are... Ten Thieves.'''' Rob replied and received a rope from one of the ck-robed figures and was about to tie Isaac''s limbs with it.


    After seeing his limbs about to be tied up, Isaac quickly pped the rope away and fell down on his butt.


    ''''Tsk.'''' Rob clicked his tongue, ''''You want to do this hard way? Fine by me.'''' He signaled other members of Ten Thieves.


    ''''I am always up for torture,'''' Sulo said and took a whip from his waist and shed the floor with it.


    *CRACK*


    A sizeable sh mark appeared on the wooden floor.


    Isaac''s back crashed on the altar, and with his blurry vision, he barely managed to see their sadistic smirks.


    [-1 HP]


    With his shaky hands, he managed to point his Musket Rifle towards the closest individual from him and had to utter all his strength to squeeze the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel like a cannon and struck the figure nearest him, but soon, that figure became illusionary beforepletely disappearing.


    ''''Keke, I guess poison is working well¡ª he is even hallucinating,'''' Rob said with a peal ofughter and kicked the Musket Rifle away.


    ''''Oww!'''' Isaac felt a stinging pain sensation on his hands as the Musket Rifle flew out of his hands andnded on the other side of the room.


    [-25 HP]


    He saw notifications popping up in front of him, but he couldn''t make sense of the words, but he had a hunch that his HP was reducing at a terrifying pace.


    ''''Tie his limbs, then we can do whatever we want with him,'''' Rob said and threw the rope on the nearest name with the name of Stone.


    ''''Roger,'''' Stone said with his usual cold tone and crouched in front of Isaac, whose grey eyes had a tinge of red appearing.


    Even though Isaac''s eyesight was unusable, he could clearly smell the disgusting stench of Ten Thieves, obviously haven''t bathed in years.


    His flesh was also getting goosebumps as something was approaching.


    Turning his head, Isaac saw an outline of a figure about to touch his leg; he could barely see him but saw enough.


    ''''Interface...'''' He muttered quiet enough so that no one could hear.


    Doing the same motions over hundred times by now.


    He knew where Inventory was located.


    To Ten Thieves, it looked like Isaac had another hallucination incident, but instead, he pressed Inventory and took an item from there...


    No one was prepared.


    ''''Stone, look out!'''' Rob screamed and quickly unsheathed his dagger and tried to save one of his friends, but he was toote.


    Stone, the guy with a cold tone and equally cold grey eyes, widened his eyes as something cold and hard touched his forehead.


    Raising his head slightly, he saw a barrel of Flintlock Pistol!


    *BANG*


    Isaac pressed the trigger, which caused a terrifying sound to appear. To many, it was the sound of death, especially for Stone.


    Stone''s eyes widened as a bullet pierced through his forehead; he didn''t even have time to beg for mercy as he lifelessly fell down to the ground.


    [You Killed Thief Stone!]


    [500 XP Earned!]


    ''''Bastard!'''' Rob and the other Ten Thieves became enraged and wanted to make Isaac suffer.


    ''''Come here, you little shit! We will make you regret that you were ever born!'''' Rob put his hand forwards, about to grab Isaac''s white hair.


    But then... Isaac dodged the hand and pointed the Flintlock Pistol on Rob''s left leg.


    ''''Captain, look out!'''' Sulo screamed, but it was toote.


    Rob''s anger clouded his judgment, and he realized his mistake toote.


    Expecting iing pain, he closed his eyes, but something else happened.


    ''''This better work...'''' Isaac murmured, and ayer of frost appeared on the barrel of the Flintlock Pistol.


    [Icy Shot!]


    He pressed the trigger powerfully.


    *Bam!*


    A muffled sound of something leaving the barrel was heard. It waspletely different from the sound of firing; instead, it was very tame.


    A frozen bullet left the barrel andnded at Rob''s shinbone.


    ''''Ahhh!'''' Rob cried out after feeling a spike in coldness. He anxiously looked at his leg and it waspletely covered in ice!


    He tried to move his leg, but it was frozen solid and stuck on the wooden floor.


    ''''You bitch, what did you do?!'''' Rob angrily shouted and tried to grab Isaac, but he has already retreated far enough.


    ''''Captain, are you alright?!'''' Sulo and others asked as they appeared next to Rob, whose face was starting to be pale.


    ''''K-Kill that bitch!'''' He uttered his enraged words.


    Sulo and others nodded. They looked towards Isaac with murderous gazes as they started stepping forwards.


    ''''Agh...'''' Isaac quickly crawled towards Musket Rifle and managed to grab it just in time.


    Sulo and others didn''t hastily attack, they knew Isaac''s vision was very bad, and if they kept their distance, they would win.


    Isaac threw the Flintlock Pistol back on his Inventory and stood up to stand with his Musket Rifle in firing stance.


    He saw the ck-robed figures suddenly multiplying until around 20 men were surrounding him.


    But, he knew it was the result of the poison, and at this rate, he would die no matter what he did.


    His HP was still reducing.


    [-1 HP]


    Every second, his HP was ticking down.


    ''A-Antidote...'' He needed an antidote, but he isn''t sure does any of the Ten Thieves have it.


    ''''Kill him already!'''' Rob screamed as he tried to remove theyer of ice with his bare hands. He kept smacking it, hammering it, kicking it, and soon, the ice started reducing, but he still couldn''t move around.


    Isaac, hearing the sound of ice getting destroyed, knew that he didn''t have much time left.


    ''I won''t die here...'' Isaac thought to himself and pointed the Musket Rifle towards the Ten Thieves, who seemed wary and ready to counter-attack once the bullet missed them.


    *Sniff*


    Isaac took a quick sniff of the air, and dly he was far enough to not smell the mold anymore and get even worse symptoms.


    But, he smelled the stench of Ten Thieves, barely, but managed to do it.


    He had a hunch where one person is, but wasn''tpletely sure.


    Deciding to gamble with his luck.


    He turned the Musket Rifle slightly until the barrel was pointing at one of the ck-robed figures who widened his eyes in shock.


    He squeezed the trigger, and once again.


    A bullet left the barrel while a recoil rocked Isaac''s shoulder.


    *BANG!*

 Chapter 142 - Isaac Vs. Ten Thieves.

    *CRACK*


    A bullet pierced through another ck-robed man''s forehead and exited from the back of his head. Without being able toprehend death, he fell silent as he took hisst breath.


    Falling down to the ground, his face looked emotionless.


    Seeing another one of their friends dying, both Sulo and Rob looked enraged.


    Yrjo, the one with a disgusting smile before, looked pale after seeing one of his friends dying. He was standing right next to him, and if he was unlucky, it would be him who would have died.


    Realizing the dire situation, none of them dared to belittle this white-haired young man.


    [500 XP Earned!]


    Isaac wiped his sweat with his sleeve and slowly started walking towards the exit of the temple. He wants to go out in the open so that he can fight more freely, but Ten Thieves didn''t n letting him do that.


    Sulo leaped through the air andnded at the exit of the entrance.


    He murderously gazed at Isaac and grabbed the hilt of his dagger tighter.


    *SMACK!*


    *CRACK!*


    ''''Haha!'''' Rob suddenly bursted intoughter and mmed his fist onest time on the ice, and it finally broke apart.


    His leg became visible, and his clothing still had a hue of ice, but he could now move his leg. It was very sensitive, and he could barely move it without feeling pain, but he ignored it all and rushed towards Isaac with his dagger, ready to take lives!


    ''''This is for my friends!'''' Rob shouted and thrusted his dagger forwards.


    Sulo, after seeing his Captain making a move, decided to unleash his own attack.


    He threw his dagger, and as it left his hand, it was clear what his target was.


    Isaac''s neck!


    *Creak!*


    Isaac took a step backward, which was enough to dodge the dagger, but he knew that Rob''s attack would hit him. He could barely see his figure, let alone his attack!


    His back crashed on the wall, and Rob was closing in.


    ''''Dieeeee!'''' Rob did one final burst of speed and appeared in front of Isaac; without further ado, he thrusted the dagger forwards, nning to stab it deep inside Isaac''s throat.


    After killing hundreds and hundreds of innocents.


    He knows what a painful way to die is. A dagger to the throat, which would crush his windpipe, is a terrifying experience.


    At first, the pain thates from getting something metallic stuck inside a throat is terrifying and painful. And, once the dagger is stuck on the windpipe, it is like Isaac is choking on arge metallic piece, and what is worst, he can''t either swallow it or take it out.


    That is only the beginning.


    Soon, he would start choking on his own blood and slowly suffocate.


    A sadistic and disgusting smirk appeared on Rob''s face as he imagined Isaac''s face morphed into pain.


    *Crack*


    Soon, both Isaac and Rob heard a sound of crackinging below them.


    Rob''s attack was slightly disturbed, and so was Isaac''s attention, as the floor below them cracked and caved in!


    *BAM!*


    Isaac''s body crashed through the floor andnded on the hard rocky ground, with his vision showing the hole where he fell from and the distinct ceiling of the temple.


    ''''Argh!'''' Rob rubbed his painful head and stood up to look around him. He and Isaac were standing in the middle of dark space, but he could clearly see the foundations of the temple, the pirs that have kept it standing for hundreds of years.


    Isaac''s vision was even worse in the dark space, but then he had an idea!


    Rob rubbed his head and looked towards Isaac, and remembered his initial goal.


    Killing Isaac!


    ''''Captain, are you alright?!'''' Sulo''s anxious shout came from the temple.


    ''''Yes, I will kill this bitch quick!'''' Rob shouted back and slowly made his way over to Isaac, intentionally slowing down so Isaac would feel as much fear as possible.


    But then, a smirk that he didn''t notice appeared on Isaac''s face.


    He grabbed his hood and covered his head with it. He stood up and disappeared into the darkness.


    ''''Eh?'''' Rob narrowed his eyes and saw that Isaac had disappeared!


    ''''W-Where?!'''' Rob anxiously looked around him and then shouted, ''''Come down here! That bitch escaped!''''


    ''''Alright, we will use the rope to descend safely!'''' Sulo shouted back, and hurried footsteps echoed from the temple.


    ''''Hurry up!'''' Rob screamed and felt slight fear after being surrounded by darkness.


    ''''They can''t save you...'''' A bone-chilling voice came behind him, and something touched the back of his head.


    Rob paled as he dropped his dagger, ''''M-Mercy, w-w-we didn''t mean it. P-Please, let me go, and we will never again bother you.''''


    ''''I wish I could believe you.'''' Isaac''s face appeared from the darkness as he put his finger on the trigger, ''''Tell me, how many innocents have you killed?''''


    ''''I-I-I don''t kill, p-please trust me!'''' Rob''s right hand slowly approached his other dagger, located on his left waist.


    ''''Tell me, please give me a reason for killing you.'''' Isaac saw him moving his hand closer to the dagger, but he didn''t care about it.


    ''''I don''t kill! Sulo and others are doing the killings¡ª I am innocent!'''' Rob lied with a poker face, and his mouth slightly curved into a smirk as his hand touched the dagger.


    ''''Thank you for giving me a reason for killing you,'''' Isaac said coldly.


    ''''Eh?'''' Rob widened his eyes and quickly unsheathed his dagger, but it was toote for him.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet pierced through his head effortlessly and continued its travel in the darkness.


    Rob slowly fell down on the ground, littering the ground in blue blood.


    [700 XP Earned!]


    ''''Captain, are you alright?!'''' Sulo shouted anxiously after hearing a gunshot, and soon, a rope dropped down from the hole andnded next to Rob''s corpse.


    Isaac crouched down his corpse and went through his pockets. His heart started racing as he took a ss bottle from the pocket and gulped the interior of the bottle inside his throat.


    [Antidote used!]


    [Your movement speed is increased by 10%!]


    [Your vision is increased by 30%!]

 Chapter 143 - Zero Thieves.

    Sulo and the rest of the Ten Thieves membersnded on the ground with the help of the rope. They expected to see their Captain, and they did... But not in the condition they expected.


    They saw Rob lying on the ground as a corpse with blue liquid trickling down from his head and his face showing despair.


    ''''Captain!'''' They shouted with disbelief and couldn''t believe what they were seeing.


    Their Captain, who has led them for over 10 years, is dead!


    Sulo wiped his teardrops and angrily looked towards the darkness, ''''Come out, coward! Fight like a man!''''


    The rest of the Ten Thieves also looked enraged and didn''t only n to kill him; they would make him suffer in every way possible.


    ''''Haha...'''' Aughter was heard from the darkness.


    ''''What is so funny?!'''' Sulo shouted with an enraged look.


    ''''You guys used poison against me andin when I didn''t fight fairly...'''' Isaac, in the darkness, sighed and could clearly see Sulo and rest in the distance. There was slight lighting from the hole in the ceiling, enough to illuminate a small area.


    He aimed his Musket Rifle towards one of the ck-robed figures and pressed his trigger.


    *BANG!*


    Sulo and everyone flinched after the sound came and quickly lied t on the ground, but one of them was too slow, and it was exactly the person Isaac was aiming at.


    *BAM!*


    The bullet pierced through his throat, and another one died.


    ''''Emme!'''' Sulo screamed and saw the dead-looking face of another one of his friends who had just died.


    ''''Fuck!'''' He angrily mmed the rocky ground.


    They thought they couldn''t be angrier; they were mistaken.


    Yrjo seeing his friends dying left and right, could barely hold his dagger steady.


    In the darkness, they heard the sound of Musket Rifle being reloaded.


    To them, it was the sound of death approaching.


    ''''I-I can''t be here...'''' Yrjo grabbed the robe and looked towards the hole in the ceiling.


    ''''Get down!'''' Sulo screamed and tried to drag Yrjo down.


    ''''N-No, I can''t stay here!'''' Yrjo grabbed the robe with both of his hands and started climbing.


    ''''Yrjo,e back here!'''' Sulo screamed, and soon his face showed despair as the terrifying sound came behind them,


    *BANG!*


    ''''Aaahhhh!'''' Yrjo screamed and had to let go of the rope.


    *BAM!*


    He crashed on the ground, and his friends were already ready to help him, but blue blood was gushing out of his wound in the stomach, and it didn''t take long for Yrjo to take hisst breath as he died.


    [You Killed Thief Yrjo]


    [500 XP Earned!]


    ''''Fuck! No!!!'''' Sulo grabbed his hair and almost pulled it out.


    *Step* *Step*


    Sulo and the rest of the Ten Thieves members snapped their heads towards the direction of the sound and saw an outline of a person who had a full ck outfit.


    They quickly stood up and aimed their daggers towards Isaac, with killing intent erupting from them.


    ''''I could kill you all from the darkness... But, I will give you guys a chance to fight back.'''' Isaac surprisingly said and emptied the chamber and put all the bullets back on the pouch.


    Sulo frowned and wondered what he was nning. Since the beginning, he used trickery to survive all the way here.


    There is no way he would fight without his weapon after getting so far!


    Why would he risk his life for no reason?


    Isaac understood that his reasoning for them was suicide, but he didn''t think it was suicide.


    He rubbed the de of the Musket Rifle, and once making sure that it was sharp as ever, he pointed the de towards them and said, ''''Come on, weren''t you guys so eager to kill me?''''


    ''''RAAAHHH!'''' Sulo and the rest rushed forwards with their daggers ready to kill.


    Isaac bursted into motion at the same time.


    Five figures with their daggers were rushing towards a lonely-looking white-haired young man with their daggers ready to make him suffer.


    The white-haired young man was rushing fearlessly with his Musket Rifle that wasn''t meant for melee battles, but here he is, about to do something reckless, and to some, it might be suicidal.


    But, there wasn''t an inch of hesitation on his face.


    *Clink*!


    Isaac swung the Musket Rifle, and it stopped the approachment of Sulo''s dagger.


    Taking advantage of him being busy blocking, a ck-robed figure appeared next to him and swung his dagger with deadly speed towards Ichiro''s torso.


    Sulo smirked, ''''Fool, you are dead!''''


    ''''Not quite,'''' Isaac said and squeezed the trigger!


    [Icy Shot!]


    Sulo widened his eyes as an icy bullet left the barrel and struck him in the forehead!


    Theyer of frost covered his head and made it impossible for him to keep breathing.


    The one who was attacking Isaac became shocked because of the turn of the events and identally stopped the attack''s momentum, which gave Isaac more than enough time to use the side of the Musket Rifle to send the dagger away.


    The ck-robed figure''s hand broke as the Musket Rifle struck his wrist. The dagger flew out of his hand without being able to do anything.


    His face turned pale, filled with despair, and the next thing he saw was a de shing through his throat, and his vision started seeing the hole in the ceiling.


    Three other ck-robed figures were looking at the scene with disbelief after another one of their friends died by beheading!


    Sulo was anxiously trying to break the ice, he was slowly suffocating, and there was nothing he could do. Slowly, his movements became sluggish and slow.


    He dropped down to his knees and stopped moving altogether.


    Another two messages popped up in front of Isaac.


    [You Killed Thief Sokki!]


    [400 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Thief Sulo!]


    [700 XP Earned!]


    The three ck-robed figures stumbled backward with horror-filled gazes as their Co-Captain died as well.


    Isaac turned his head towards thest remaining individuals and said, ''''Mythical VR Helmet, huh... I think... I might be able to defeat yers who are five levels above me....'''' With these thoughts, he finished off thest remaining ck-robed figures.

    ___


    Isaac used his sleeve to clean the blood from his Musket Rifle''s de, and after he was done, he looked at the dead corpses littered around him.


    He rubbed his eyes and didn''t know what to think about him killing these people. Even though they weren''t real people and only code belonging to the game, the realism of the game made him think, was killing them really right choice.


    They tried to sell him to very and do horrible deeds, but he could have always logged out, and he would have been saved; that''s what he at least believed.


    He killed once the NPCs in the Slum area, but at that time, he felt like he was killing some wild animals and not truly human beings.


    ''''I might be overthinking this...'''' He ruffled his hair and put the Musket Rifle on his back. He started climbing the robe, and soon, he disappeared from the dark ce and appeared in the temple.


    He carefully avoided the hole and area around it. It might be an unstable area, that''s why, he walked very carefully.


    After walking to the safety, he left the temple and quickly made his way over to the stairway, and started walking down from the mountain.


    After walking for five minutes, a notification popped up in front of him.


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]


    [Your wounds have been healed!]


    A sigh of relief escaped his mouth as he elerated his pace, and he walked down from the mountains much faster than when he was walking up.


    Soon, he reached the bottom of the mountain, and without further ado, he left the area with quick and light steps.


    ''''Damn...'''' After running ten minutes without stopping, he stopped after his stomach started rumbling.


    ''''So hungry...'''' He decided that he couldn''t keep up with an empty stomach.


    ''''Interface...'''' Murmuring the special words, a holographic screen appeared in front of him, and without further ado, he pressed [Log Out]


    A white-haired figure disappeared from the forest.


    ...


    Isaac opened his eyes with a m and felt the straps of headgear touching his frail skin. Moving his limbs, he felt the skinsuit feeling veryfortable and rxing.


    He didn''t feel any numbness and annoyment anymore. Instead, it was like he went to get a massage and was now a brand new man.


    ''''Whew...'''' A sigh of rxation escaped his mouth. He put his hands on the button on the side of the headgear and pressed it, which closed the blinking lightsing from the visor.


    He took the headgear off and put it gently on the bed, and instantly after the headgear was removed, the ck skinsuit was sucked inside the headgear, disappearing from the world once again.


    ''''Fascinating...'''' Isaac started examing the headgear and wondered how the skinsuit could fit inside.


    *Rumble*


    But, his fascination came to a stop after his stomach started rumbling. His face grimaced as he quickly put the headgear back to the ck box and left the room with hurried footsteps.


    Quickly, he walked down the stairs, and once he was on the first floor, he went straight to the kitchen.


    *Creak*


    He put his hand on the doorknob and twisted it, which opened the door. After entering the kitchen, he went to the refrigerator, grabbed a te filled with food, which was made for him, and put it on the microwave.


    While waiting, Isaac turned around to look outside the window. Servants were once again busy cleaning the snow, and it didn''t help that more and more snow was falling down from the sky.


    The servants looked exhausted after cleaning the snow for two hours straight, and it didn''t look like snow was reducing at all.


    Isaac couldn''t look at the sight anymore; he opened the window and shouted at them, ''''Go home, you guys can continue tomorrow!''''


    The servants looked surprised and saw their young master shouting from the window.


    Isaac looked at the sky and saw the grey clouds increasing, which meant even more snow would soone, ''''Go home, this is an order.''''


    The servants looked surprised until they nodded with relief and happiness after the long day was finally over and they could return to their families.


    Isaac closed the window after getting slightly cold, and once the window was closed, he heard a sound of beeping behind him.


    *Beep* *Beep*


    His food was ready.


    He opened the microwave and took the te.


    It was smoking hot, making his hand tingle in pain, but he quickly put it down on the kitchen desk and saw the smokeing from the food clouding his vision.


    *Creak*


    Suddenly, a door was opened, and a middle-aged man entered the kitchen with slight surprise after he saw Isaac.


    ''''Isaac, weren''t you ying?'''' Maxwell asked with surprise.


    Isaac showed the te and said, ''''I got hungry.''''


    ''''Ah, right.'''' Maxwell chuckled and thought that Isaac must have forgotten to eat in the game.


    ''''Dad, where did you get Mythical VR Helmet?'''' Isaac asked and saw Maxwell covering his lip.


    ''''Secret.'''' He replied and opened the refrigerator.


    Isaac sighed and had a hunch that he got it from Legacy Company; that''s why he didn''t pry any further.


    ''''By the way, I sent the servants home.'''' Isaac said while taking a bite from his food, ''''They seemed exhausted, and it won''t be any use to clean the snow when more and more snow is dropping down from the sky.''''


    Maxwell nodded and asked, ''''About the visit to my parents... When will you go? My mother... Is asking and is really eager to see you.'''' He took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and started gulping it down while waiting for the answer.


    ''''Today is Monday...'''' Isaac murmured and started counting days, ''''Tomorrow is Tuesday, and then on Wednesday there will be tournament...'''' He came to a conclusion and said, ''''On Thursday.''''


    Maxwell nodded and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and put the bottle of milk back in the refrigerator.


    ''''I will tell my mother, even though you can y as long as you want with Mythical VR Helmet, we would still like to see your face around,'''' Maxwell said with hidden meaning.


    Isaac nodded and put another bite inside his mouth, ''''Understood.''''


    Even though he knew that without a time limit, he could practically live inside the game, but he didn''t want to, and he would start missing his family sooner orter.

 Chapter 145 - Stone Temple.

    After filling his stomach, Isaac returned to his room and put on the headgear.


    The ck skinsuit immediately covered his body from neck to toes.


    After taking a final look at the visor, he closed his eyes, and the next time when he opened his eyes, he would be inside White Online.


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Legacies Awaits You!]


    ...


    Isaac still had his eyes closed, but then he felt a calm wind and the sound of birds chirping.


    A small smile appeared on his beautiful face as he slowly opened his eyes. He saw the dimly lit forest with tree branches and leaves covering the sun.


    ''''Ahhh...'''' Stretching his limbs, he left out a moan of satisfaction, and after he was done, he continued his journey in the dark forest.


    He has no specific destination, but he goes where his legs take him.


    *Beep* *Beep*


    Isaac''s legs suddenly stopped as he heard a beeping noiseing from his Inventory.


    He looked confused as he murmured, ''''Interface.'''' He had a hunch where the noise came from, but it shouldn''t be possible.


    He tapped the [Map] and indeed, a red dot was beeping in Forest of Unknown!


    ''''Why... I don''t have a Quest.'''' Isaac pondered what could be the reason for this phenomenon.


    The red dot was beeping from the nearby area, but it was 300 meters above Isaac''s current position.


    ''''In mountain or... In a hill...'''' Isaac looked around the forest, and he couldn''t see anything because the tree branches were covering his vision in an annoying manner.


    With no other choice left. He used the tree trunks to use as a foothold and started jumping towards the top of the tree.


    He had to carefully move around the tree branches and leaves, but with his nimble movements, he managed to achieve that.


    After reaching the top of the tree, he looked around the forest and saw thousands of trees. He looked at the map onest time and looked at the direction of the red dot, and finally, he found where it wasing from.


    It was on top of arge hill and at the top of the hill was some kind of area made of stone. Even with his great vision, he couldn''t see urately, but it was some kind of altar, but muchrger than in the Temple of Thieves.


    He slowly climbed out of the tree, and once his feet''snded on the ground, he started making his way over to the hill with haste.


    During his run, he had countless thoughts going on his mind.


    ''Am I the only one who is seeing it... Probably not, which means I have to be prepared for a battle.'' He could, of course, not go there, even he knows the risks, but he is ying for two reasons.


    To see ces he had never seen before and to have fun!


    It''s not fun if he is scared of slight challenges.


    Rushing past the trees and bushes, he arrived at the bottom of the hill, and a big uphill was ahead.


    ''''Huff... Huff...'''' After he caught his breath, he started running once more, and after a minute or so, he arrived at the top of the hill.


    He didn''t see anyone, but the stone temple was ahead, and ncing at the red dot once more, he knew he needed to go there.


    He grabbed the soft hood and put it over his head so that his features were very difficult to notice, but if someone was standing right next to him, it could be easy to see.


    After calming down his thoughts, he started running towards the stone temple, which wasn''t too far.


    It took an only minute for him to reach the steps of the stone temple.


    The stone temple was muchrger than it seemed at first nce.


    A massive stone pir was holding the ceiling, while walls and ceiling were purely made out of stone. Isaac had to go over at least 50 steps before he appeared on top of the stairs.


    The entrance was quite simple, with no doors or anything that obstructed his path.


    He simply entered through the open space and saw a massive room with a height and length of 200 meters.


    It waspletely empty also with no soul in sight. The floor was filled with stone tiles, and there weren''t any doors except the entrance.


    Isaac counted the pirs and got a count of 20, which is an incredible amount, especially because each pir was over 200 meters in height!


    ''''I wonder why the map led me here...'''' Isaac murmured as he started making his way over to the center of the temple. With fascination, he looked at the incredibly tall pirs.


    Soon, he reached the center of the temple, and the first thing Isaac noticed was the weird symbols on the floor. There were nine tiles with different kinds of symbols.


    ''''Not again symbols...'''' Isaac rubbed his forehead and knew that if Darth was here, he would be crying tears of blood.


    He felt a headache approaching and ignored all the symbols. He had enough of the symbols in the Duo Dungeon.


    ''''Hey, you! Hands up!'''' Suddenly, without being ready at all, Isaac heard a shout behind him.


    He was about to grab his Musket Rifle, but then he heard the sound of someone''s finger being on the trigger.


    That made him certain that the person was the same ss as him, Marksman!


    And, if he wasn''tpletely an idiot, he is keeping his distance.


    Isaac sighed, ''''Why do I always end up in these situations?'''' He slowly put his hands up and waited for the voice to say something.


    ''''Go on your knees and drop down your weapon!'''' As the voicemanded, he did exactly what it said.


    He slowly dropped down on his knees and put the Musket Rifle down to the ground.


    ''''And now... Die!'''' The voice said coldly.


    Isaac widened his eyes used all his strength on his leg to jump in the air!


    *BANG!*


    A sharp and incredibly fast objective pierced through his ankle, causing blood to gush out without stopping.


    [-99 HP!]


    Isaac quicklynded on the ground, ignoring the small pain on his leg, and promptly grabbed Musket Rifle. He finally turned around to see his attacker and saw a pale-looking young man with a Flintlock Pistol.


    He looked around 16s, and he seemed very inexperienced with the way he was holding the pistol.


    Isaac quickly aimed his Musket Rifle at the young man, and soon, a stalemate appeared.

 Chapter 146 - Sealed Space.

    Isaac looked at the nametag of his attacker and knew that he couldn''t be very old, might even still be in Middle School.


    [ToughGuy140]


    ''''D-Drop your weapon!'''' ToughGuy140 screamed in hopes of scaring Isaac, but his voice changed to different pitches after each word. The first one was a strong one, the second one was slightly higher, and in the third one, he almost screamed.


    ''''Why would I do that?'''' Isaac asked and was ready to press the trigger from a moment''s notice, ''''You have only one bullet left in the chamber, and you need to hit me in the head if you have any hopes of killing me, but I am confident enough to not let that happen.''''


    ''''M-M-My aim is good, I never miss!'''' ToughGuy140 bluffed with a face, which said that even he didn''t know what he was saying.


    ''''So, you aimed at my leg?'''' Isaac said while sneakily pointing at his bleeding leg.


    ''''O-Of course! I-It will hinder your movements and makes killing you piece of cake!'''' He smirked like he was proud of his excuse.


    ''''Right...'''' Isaac chuckled and said, ''''While you have one bullet, I have five.''''


    ToughGuy140 gulped at the sight of dangerous-looking Musket Rifle. He knew at first nce that it must be a good weapon, but he didn''t expect it to have five bullets!


    ''''Since you are so keen on killing me... Why didn''t you just shoot me? Why tell me to put my hands up?'''' Isaac asked since he was genuinely curious.


    ToughGuy140 started sweating as he once again lied, ''''B-Because it would have been boring to kill you without doing some small talk first!'''' He slightly averted his gaze and used his sleeve to wipe his sweat.


    Isaac almost facented, ''''So you panicked, gotcha.'''' He wryly smiled, and it would have been indeed embarrassing to die that way after surviving the ambush of Ten Thieves.


    ''''I-I didn''t panic!'''' ToughGuy140 screamed and put his finger on the trigger, which was shaking even more than before.


    Seeing the barrel of Musket Rifle gazing at him, he couldn''t stay calm, because it looked extremely dangerous weapon! It didn''t help to see the sharp metallic de pointing straight at him.


    ''''What about a truce? We go on separate ways.'''' Isaac suggested.


    ''''S-Sure, b-but you have to give me your gun!''''


    Isaac sighed and shook his head; he felt like he was talking to a brick wall.


    A very stupid brick wall...


    *CRACK!*


    The stone temple trembled, and a sound of something moving was heard.


    Both of them widened their eyes in shock as suddenly the tiles beneath ToughGuy140 disappeared!


    ''''Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh...'''' His screams were heard as he fell down to the endless pit of darkness.


    Isaac rushed towards the hole and didn''t see the bottom; instead, pure darkness.


    He took a couple of steps backwards and put his hands on the praying gesture, ''''ToughGuy140, I hope I never see you again... You were kind of dumb.'''' Turning around, he nned to leave the stone temple, but then he heard the sound of wheels turning with mechanical sound.


    The stone temple shook around him, almost making Isaac fall down, but instead, he dropped down on his knees and waited for the shaking to stop, so he could stand again, but instead...


    *CRACK!*


    He heard a cracking sound beneath him, and the tiles below him got cracked in half and underneath Isaac... Pure darkness came visible.


    ''''Oh, fu¡ª'''' Isaac''s words were cut off as he started falling down to the pitch darkness.


    ...


    ''''Uhh...'''' Isaac''s eyes opened, and the first thing he saw was darkness. He couldn''t see his body, but he could move his toes and fingers.


    ''''Did I die...'''' Looking around him, it indeed looked simr to the ce where he got teleported after his death.


    But soon, his questions got answers.


    He saw a light flickering not far from him, and soon the light was turned on, and he saw a pure white ceiling.


    ''''Ahh...'''' Isaac rubbed the back of his head, he felt like he got hit by a blunt weapon.


    His vision was obscure and dark; he could barely see in front of him.


    ''''D-Did I lose HP...'''' Isaac sighed and said, ''''Interface...''''


    Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him, he ignored all of them and looked towards the HP bar, and the sight made him grimace.


    [HP: 1/345 - Lizard Scale Armor Effect!]


    ''''Only 1 HP... Fuck...'''' Isaac then felt his back being empty and his waist. He looked around and noticed that his Musket Rifle was missing, and so were his ammo pouches.


    He quickly checked out his Inventory and saw them being there!


    ''''Why did they get teleported inside my Inventory...'''' He thought aloud and tried to take his Musket Rifle out, but an unordinary notification popped up.


    [Weapons aren''t allowed!]


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac rubbed his eyes and reread the texts couple of times before he came to a conclusion.


    He didn''t die, but he is in some sealed space.


    He tried to send messages to Luna, but none of them got sent.


    ''''Where am I?'''' Isaac looked around the room, but it was pure white in colors, he even touched the floor, but it was very smooth, like a ss panel.


    It was like he was stuck in arge box with no way out.


    Isaac decided to wait first so that his HP would be restored.


    He sat down and leaned on the wall, silently thinking about where he was.


    He was still wearing his ck-colored outfit.


    But, even after waiting for 10 minutes, nothing happened.


    ''''That''s strange...'''' He opened the Interface once again and saw that it had been over 15 minutes till he woke up, and the HP was still 1 HP.


    ''''Don''t tell me...'''' He covered his face and stood up, ''''How can I survive with 1 HP? I will die from a single push.''''


    His annoyance was clear from his tone, but then...


    *Creak!*


    He snapped his head towards the direction of the sound, and from another side of the room, a wall was slowly moving up, and the legs of two individuals became visible, and Isaac could barely see what was outside the room.


    ''''This one is diator 678, correct?'''' Isaac widened his eyes after hearing the individual''s voice and hearing his words; he knew that something was terribly wrong.


    Without further ado, Isaac murmured, ''''White.'''' His ck outfit became white, and he quickly covered his head with the hood, and soon he was perfectly camouged.


    After the wall waspletely up. Two individuals were standing in the doorway with a frown on their faces.


    The first individual was a middle-aged man with short ck hair and a trim beard with a clipboard in his right hand. He was wearing professional attire, which consisted of a white three-piece suit and fancy-looking shoes, ''''This is where diator 678 should have been, right?''''


    The second individual was a beautiful middle-aged woman with dark brown eyes and her brown hair tied in a ponytail. She looked at the clipboard in her hands and nodded with affirmation, ''''Correct.''''


    ''''How the hell he escaped?! What was his name?'''' The middle-aged man asked in a hurry.


    The beautiful middle-aged woman went through her papers and said, ''''Wraith, a Marksman.''''


    ''''Call the Hounds¡ª they should be able to find him.''''


    ''''Roger.''''


    After the wall closed again and the individuals left.


    Isaac took off his hood and sighed, ''''Why the hell do I always get stuck in these kinds of situations....''''

 Chapter 147 - White Room.

    ''''Let''s think...'''' Isaac murmured and nced at the corners of the room, and as expected, there weren''t any cameras.


    Otherwise, he would have never seeded in hiding.


    He didn''t know why there weren''t any cameras and why would they leave such arge blind spot in their security, but he didn''t mind.


    ''''Alright...'''' After catching up on what he just witnessed, he had multiple thoughts.


    ''''They called me as diator...'''' He rubbed his forehead, trying to get his brains to work in maximum capacity, and then he remembered that term, ''''If I remember correctly... In Summend, there used to be diator fights thousands of years ago, and at one point, it was very popr, before it was decided that they were simply too violent and some of them even involved pagan rituals.''''


    He remembers reading it during his Middle School days.


    ''''Now the question remains... Was I supposed to be a diator... Or did they use it as different meaning, and I actually am ab rat for their sick experiments?'''' Isaac''s used his wild imagination to think about countless possibilities.


    After not getting a clear picture of his situation, he heard something grave from the mouth of a middle-aged man.


    ''''Hounds... Are they dogs or humans who are good at hunting? Apparently, they will be able to find me... But how?'''' Isaac had countless questions but no answers.


    But, he knew what he had to do.


    He has to escape his current room before it is toote.


    Isaac stopped sitting and looked straight towards the ceiling. He knew he fell from there and thought if there was some kind of a secret tunnel, which he could use to climb away, but looking at the ceiling, he couldn''t see anything except the smooth white ceiling and the bright light, which distracted his attention quite a lot.


    Without finding anything from the ceiling, he walked towards the wall, which was open not long ago.


    At first, he crouched and touched the floor next to a wall and saw slight scratching marksing underneath. It must have been opened quite often for such marks to appear.


    Isaac put his right hand on the floor and tried to lift the wall with the help of his fingertips, but only a grunt of pains appeared, ''''Argh...'''' He tried to forcefully lift the wall with only his nail; it was the only thing that managed to go underneath the wall.


    ''''Damn...'''' He reeled his hand back and looked at the wall with a frustrated look.


    ''''Do I need to wait for someone to open it for me... That is risky... What if those ''Hounds'' appear, and then I will be in trouble... Also, they might not look from here anymore, and I will be stuck here...'''' Isaac''s mind was running as he kept thinking about countless possibilities.


    But then, he heard a distinct sound of footsteps...


    ''Maybe... I can make someone open it for me?'' Isaac had a sh of realization as he quickly stood up and listened to the footsteps closely; once he was sure that the footsteps were not far, he decided to act!


    ''Please open the wall and don''t call security...'' Isaac prayed and struck the wall with his leg and started mming it, making a booming sound.


    *Boom*


    *Boom*


    *Boom*


    He stopped kicking and heard that the footsteps had stopped; he put his hood again on and started hiding once more...


    Outside the room.


    A middle-aged woman with a somewhat in outfit frowned at the sudden sound. She had long ck hair, reaching all the way to her waist with slick eyebrows and curved nose, giving her a look of maturity and elegance. Her outfit was a rtively simple long-sleeved shirt with jeans that didn''t look that special.


    In her shirt, there was a nametag that revealed her identity.


    [Syd]


    She kept ncing at the wristwatch and frowned slightly. Turning her head back to the room, she saw a sign that said [678]


    She heard rumors that the person who should have been there had escaped.


    ''Maybe diator 678 descendedter than others?'' Syd thought to herself and took a walkie-talkie from her waist and said, ''''I think I found the location of diator 678, track my signal.''''


    She put the walkie-talkie back on her waist and slowly walked towards the wall with a scanner on the side.


    ''''Where was it...'''' Syd murmured and took a wallet from her pocket and searched for her card, which allowed her to open any doors.


    After searching thoroughly, she found it and put it on the scanner.


    *Beep*


    The scanner beeped, and Syd watched as the wall slowly opened.


    She looked carefree like she wasn''t afraid at all that the individual in the room would attack her.


    After the wall waspletely opened, she frowned as she only saw a room of pure white.


    ''''What the hell...'''' She put the wallet down to the scanner and stomped inside the room. Looking around the room, she didn''t see anything unnatural and not even a sign of someone ever being there!


    ''''I swear one day this ce will fall apart.'''' She thought it was the building''s foundations that caused such unnatural sound. Looking around the room onest time, she left it and looked around the long corridors for onest time.


    The walls of corridors were greyish in color with metallic texture, stretching towards the unknown.


    Hundreds of different numbers were on top of every wall, all the way from 1 till 1000.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Syd shrugged and took the wallet from the scanner and once again, tried to find her card, but this time, she couldn''t find it anywhere.


    She searched her wallet twice, thrice, but couldn''t find it!


    ''''How the hell I managed to lose it?!'''' She looked around the scanner and even went to the room to search for it, but couldn''t find it anywhere!


    ''''Great, very funny guys!'''' She screamed towards whoever was listening, thinking that she was being pranked, but not quite...


    Inside the room.


    Isaac put the card-like item in his pocket and saw Syd storming out without closing the wall.


    ''''Now it''s time to find out where I am... And where is the exit...'''' Isaac left the room and saw the corridors being in color of grey, ''''Grey.''''


    His outfit changed colors once more, but this time, his camouge wasn''t perfect.


    His skin could be clearly seen underneath his hood, quite different from his camouge in the room.


    In that room, the bright light made the room quite bright, which made hiding painfully easy.


    But now, his camouge is far from perfect and could be noticed.


    But then, a notification, which made him confident that he might actually survive this ordeal, appeared.


    [Weapon restriction has lifted off!]


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]


    [Your wounds have been healed!]

 Chapter 148 - Luna And Elderly.

    In the streets of Stronglord, a beautiful young woman with long ck hair and blue eyes was walking with a clear destination in her mind. Her looks attracted from both NPC''s and yers; most of them only looked with admiration, while some braver ones wanted to hit up a conversation.


    But, after she saw individuals approaching her, she quickened her steps until she was almost running away.


    The yers who saw it looked dejected but didn''t pursue any further; if she didn''t want to talk, it would be idiotic to force it.


    Without choice left, they stopped pursuing her and instead decided to admire her beauty from afar.


    After running hundreds of meters in the busy streets, she came to a stop with an exhausted look.


    ''''So scary...'''' Luna muttered with her heart racing. She patted her chest a couple of times to regain her breath and could finally see where she was.


    Currently, she was in a busy part of the City, Market Square.


    It was one of the busiest parts in the entire Stronglord, and it clearly showed.


    Everywhere she looked, there was a swarm of yers and NPC''s alike, making it impossible to even see one meter ahead!


    It was quite amon sight to see arguments, because someone identally collided with someone.


    Luna timidly stood on the sidelines, trying to find a way out. Her outfit was definitely different from an ordinary spellcaster; she was wearing an all-ck outfit, which looked actually very lovely on her and made her attractiveness even more apparent.


    There was also a pointy hat strapped on her waist, and for some reason, she wasn''t wearing it and didn''t put it in the Inventory either.


    There was also something strapped on the pointy hat. It was a small wooden stick, which looked like a wand.


    The wand was of silver color with shades of ck on the sides, looking very pretty and awe-inspiring.


    Her looks did look quite unique, but it wasn''t an unordinary sight for a yer trying to look different from the rest; that''s why no one thought more about it.


    But, this youngdy has a very special identity.


    She is perhaps White Online''s first Godly Legacy holder!


    If yers knew around her. They would be trying to court her like their lives depended on it, or at least be her friends, but in some cases... Some would be trying to kill her out of jealousy.


    ''''Excuse me, need help?'''' Luna flinched and anxiously looked behind her, only to see two elderly figures looking at her with worried looks.


    ''''Oh my.'''' An old woman with grey hair and a gentle smile said while covering her mouth, ''''You seem pale, are you feeling ill?''''


    The old woman seemed somewhat old but didn''t have any signs of wrinkles on her surprisingly attractive face.


    ''''A-Ah, n-no.'''' Luna shyly replied and nced at the crowd of people, ''''I-I am not good with people.''''


    ''''Ah.'''' The old woman eximed and smiled gently, ''''Come in, it is better than staying on outside.''''


    Luna looked at the building, and it was an ordinary wooden building with two floors and a sign on top of the building.


    It was a store that sells antique items, which is rarely visited by yers because they are all into getting better weapons and armory.


    ''''Ah... T-Thank you.'''' Luna bowed and entered the building.


    ''''A tea?'''' The old woman asked while trying to resist pinching Luna''s cheeks, which seemed very soft and pinchable.


    ''''A-Ah, yes, thank you!'''' Luna bowed once more.


    ''''No need to bow.'''' A figure next to the old woman said gently. He had a short ck hair and a muscr build; at first, his looks made Luna intimidated, but seeing his gentle look, her wariness shortly disappeared.


    He had some signs of grey hair on the sides, and he wouldn''t be mistaken as elderly, but he still looked attractive, which is quite of a feat for a man of his age.


    Luna was led to a seat, and she gratefully sat down, waiting for the tea to arrive, but during that time, she was looking around the shop and saw all kinds of items she had never seen before.


    Soon, she saw a painting on the wall, which was obviously painted not long ago. It was a picture of the two elderly figures and a man, who was around his 20s.


    The man had brown hair and a smile on his attractive face. He resembled the two elderly figures quite a lot, and it made Luna certain that he was their son.


    The old man was cleaning the front desk and saw Luna looking at the painting. His gaze got also locked onto the painting and a split second pain appeared in his eyes until he humphed and turned his gaze away.


    ''''Hmph, hmph.'''' He humphed two more times.


    Luna turned her gaze towards the old man and saw the weird scene of him humphing with obvious annoyance on his face.


    ''''E-Excuse me.'''' Luna raised her hand like she was in school and wanted to ask a question from the teacher.


    The old man flinched and turned around to see Luna raising her hand, ''''Y-Yes?'''' He was curious why she was raising her head.


    Luna lowered her hand and asked, ''''Is that your son in the painting?''''


    ''''Tsk.'''' The old man clicked his tongue and had a look of longing, even though he was trying to hide it, ''''Yes... He is gone, though.''''


    ''''Oh...'''' Luna''s face turned saddened because she thought he meant that their son was dead.


    ''''Ah, he isn''t dead.'''' The old man quickly waved his hand after seeing Luna having a misunderstanding.


    ''''Oh!'''' Luna immediately looked energetic and happier.


    ''''We haven''t met in a long time...'''' The old man sighed, but then he stomped the ground, ''''I don''t want to meet him, hmph!''''


    Luna smiled slightly at the weird sight and almost let out aughter, but then the olddy came with a tray, which had three sses of tea.


    After she saw her husband throwing a tantrum, she shook her head and wryly smiled, ''''Here.'''' She put down the tray and sat on the opposite side of the table.


    ''''Thanks.'''' Luna said with gratitude and took a sip of the tea, and instantly felt amazed, ''''D-Delicious!''''


    ''''Hehe, thank you.'''' The olddy said with a gentle smile and asked, ''''What were you two talking about?''''


    ''''Ah, about your son,'''' Luna replied.


    ''''Ah...'''' The olddy looked saddened at first, before bing energetic once again, ''''We might not be on speaking terms, but our grandson will be visiting us soon! Even though the grumpy old man there acts like he doesn''t care, he expects the meeting as much as I am!'''' She smugly looked towards the old man, who snorted and turned around.


    ''''Ah, that''s nice..'''' Luna smiled and took another sip of the tea.

 Chapter 149 - What Are You Wearing?

    ''''Did you see that? Nuts?'''' A young man around 19-20s said while carrying a tablet in his right hand. He was wearing an ordinaryb coat with a somewhat unique-looking shirt that had pictures of a cat.


    ''''Yep!'''' There was another young man next to him, who had simr brown hair like the first young man. He was also wearing ab coat with a clipboard in his left hand.


    Both of them were watching a tablet, which showed two individuals fighting like their lives depended on it.


    They walked past a room that was wide open and had numbers [678]


    ''''Hmm, why is that room open?'''' The first young man asked and went to the scanner. He grabbed his card from his pocket and put it on the scanner.


    Soon, the wall started closing, and soon, the bright room disappeared once again.


    ''''Alrigh¡ª'''' He turned around after he was done closing the room, but his words were cut off as he saw his friend lying on the floor in unconscious state.


    ''''Adam, are you alrigh¡ª'''' His shocked words came to a stop after he saw his vision bing darker, and soon, he lied on the ground in an unconscious state as well.


    Behind him, an individual with white hair and a grey-colored outfit appeared.


    Isaac quickly took off his camouge outfit and put it inside Inventory.


    He grabbed theb coat of the unconscious figure and covered his body with it.


    Checking out their pockets, he found two cards and room keys. He stuffed them inside his pocket and touched the scanner with the card that he got from Syd.


    *Beep*


    The wall once again opened, and the bright room appeared. He dragged the two unconscious figures inside the room, and after he was done, he left the room and closed the wall.


    ''''Hmm?'''' He patted theb coats'' pockets and felt something inside. He put his hand inside therge pocket and took out the item.


    It was ck-colored sses.


    ''''This cane to use...'''' Isaac used his thumbs and broke the ss; after that, he put the sses to cover his eyes.


    He broke the sses because he has perfect eyesight and would be near-blind if he used them.


    Now, the sses covered half of his face, but it gave him a different kind of charm by having the sses on. He looked smart, but also beautiful at the same time, but his beauty was not as apparent as before, instead... He could be almost ssified as handsome instead.


    His manly traits have be more apparent recently, even though Isaac hasn''t noticed it.


    He also grabbed the tablet from one of the unconscious figures and saw it showing a video of two individuals fighting with swords.


    Isaac recognized them as yers.


    ''''This is... Underground fighting ring?!'''' He eximed, and his fantasies started going overboard.


    *Tap*


    He flinched after hearing footsteps behind him, he slowly started walking forwards, trying to hide his face, but then he heard a shout behind him.


    ''''Excuse me!'''' His footsteps halted as he slowly moved his head and saw a middle-aged woman with long ck hair and a in-looking outfit. Her face was drenched in sweat as she had ran a lot in pursuit of her lost card.


    ''''Yes?'''' Isaac said calmly while trying to hide his facial features with the help of hisb coat.


    ''''Have you seen a card anywhere?'''' Syd asked with a rough breath as she tried to calm down her racing heartbeat, ''''I-I think I lost mine.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac touched a card in his pocket and fidgeted around before revealing the card and asked, ''''Is this you? Syd Ellermann?''''


    ''''Oh!'''' Syd''s eyes sparkled as she grabbed the card swiftly and bowed deeply, ''''Thank you, kind sir!''''


    ''''Oh, no problem, just don''t lose it again,'''' Isaac said and started slowly walking away, but soon his footsteps again came to a halt after hearing her voice.


    ''''Where did you find this, if I may ask?'''' Syd asked curiously and saw the side of Isaac''s face, which looked incredibly handsome at this angle, and she is sure that she hasn''t seen him before, but she is also new.


    ''''There.'''' He pointed at the scanner of room 678, ''''It was behind the scanner, stuck.''''


    ''''Oh!'''' Syd eximed and did a silly smile, ''''It must have dropped, anyway, thank you!'''' She said with gratitude and ran off.


    Isaac wiped his sweat and continued his walk in the opposite direction.


    He came across a few other individuals, but they were too busy to notice Isaac, which made his journey fairly easy.


    After reaching the 1000th room, there was a stairway leading downstairs, Isaac didn''t know where it led, but it must be where he will get his answers.


    He slowly walked down the stairs, and it didn''t take long for him to reach the downstairs, and it also didn''t long for him to hear a sound of cheering and fighting.


    Isaac entered another corridor after reaching the bottom of the stairs, and at the end of the corridor, he could see figures walking past the corridor.


    The corridor was in an empty state, with only him there.


    Isaac regained his courage and left the corridor. The scene he saw shocked him to the core.


    He saw an arena with a radius of 100 meters where two individuals were fighting. One of the figures was unarmed, with cut wounds all over his body, and the second one had a sword and a knight in his other hand. He wasn''t wearing armor; instead, his chest waspletely bare without any armory or protection.


    The arena was like a pit, with massive concrete walls surrounding the fighting area, and hundreds of windows were on top of the concrete walls, where NPCs and yers alike were watching the matches.


    Isaac was surprised to see yers cheering, and some were even betting for the oue of the match.


    The floor where Isaac currently was the watching area, where both NPCs and yers were cheering loudly while watching from the windows.


    Around the watching area were also couches, tables, chairs, and even a bar desk, where they could order anything they wanted.


    Beautiful women and handsome men were everywhere he looked, making most of the yers almost drool at the sight.


    Isaac felt like it would be the best idea to leave, but when he was about to do that, with a corner of his eyes, he saw a timid-looking young man drinking soda while watching the NPCs and yers cheering loudly.


    ''''ToughGuy140?!'''' Isaac eximed, while the young man flinched and turned his gaze towards Isaac. At first, he didn''t recognize the handsome young man, but soon his face had the dawn of realization.


    ''''What are you wearing?!'''' ToughGuy140 asked with a frown and scanned Isaac from head to toe.


    Isaac was about to answer, but then he heard a voice behind him.


    ''''Wraith, I presume?'''' Isaac paled and slowly turned his head and saw the two individuals who were looking for him...


    They were looking straight at him and frowned after seeing Isaac''s strange outfit.


    ''''What are you wearing?''''

 Chapter 150 - Passion.

    ''''Uhh...'''' Isaac didn''t have any words.


    The middle-aged man with short ck hair and a trim beard looked straight at Isaac. He was wearing professional attire, which consisted of a white three-piece suit and fancy-looking shoes.


    He also had a nametag floating above his head.


    [Tristan]


    The beautiful middle-aged woman next to Tristan looked confused at why Isaac was wearing ab coat.


    [Tiffany]


    These two individuals were pair of brother and sister.


    ''''Why are you wearing that, and why weren''t you in your room?'''' Tristan crossed his arms and asked while being curious.


    Isaac didn''t answer; instead, he looked around in hopes of finding an escape.


    Tiffany seeing Isaac''s panicked look, realized what he was thinking. She covered her mouth and giggled, which attracted both Tristan''s and Isaac''s attention.


    ''''Brother, I think Wraith thought that he was a prisoner of some sort,'''' Tiffany said after managing to calm down her giggling.


    Isaac frowned, ''What?''


    ''''Oh!'''' Tristan scratched his head and looked straight at Isaac, ''''Uhh... You aren''t a prisoner of any sort¡ª you can leave at any time¡ª there is the exit.'''' He pointed at the other side of the watching room, where a door with a simple [Exit] sign was.


    ''''What?'''' Isaac''s eyes almost bulged out of his sockets.


    Tiffany again giggled and said, ''''We can answer your questions if you have any.''''


    Isaac scratched his head and sat down next to ToughGuy140, who instantly seemed timid, but tried to act tough.


    Tiffany and Tristan sat next to each other, and both patiently waited for questions.


    ''''Uhh, where are we?'''' Was Isaac''s first question. He wanted to start with simple, because he has a lot of questions and he is almost certain that he had a big misunderstanding.


    ''''We are below Forest of Unknown in our own paradise!'''' Tiffany said with excitement and looked around the room, where NPCs and yers alike were hanging out, ''''My brother and I created this ce to be free from restrains of the world.''''


    Tristan nodded, ''''This might look like a den of criminals, but I can assure you. Nothing criminal happens here, and none of the people present have any sort of criminal records.''''


    ''''What is this then?'''' Isaac pointed at the arena, where two figures were fighting till death.


    Tristan smiled and said, ''''yers who have found their way here usually wants to earn White Coins or new equipment¡ª that''s why they are risking everything on the Arena of diators.''''


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac then wanted to be sure, ''''So... You guys don''t force us to fight for your sick entertainment?''''


    ''''Hah!'''' Tristan bursted intoughter, and Tiffany started giggling until tears came out of her eyes.


    ''''Aha, I haven''tughed this much in ages.'''' Tristan said and calmed down hisughter, ''''No, everyone who fights is doing this out of their own free will.''''


    ToughGuy140 was still sipping on his soda, curiously listening to their conversation. After he fell down, he met Tristan and Tiffany as well, who showed them a way to this watching room and left somewhere shortly afterward; since then, he has been sitting on this couch, drinking soda.


    He was also curious about why he was here and was wondering can he leave already.


    ''''Why was I called diator 678?'''' Isaac asked; he was curious if everyone is fighting out of their own free will, why was he called like that?


    ''''It''s simple that way.'''' Tristan took a tablet and showed him the stats of certain individuals...


    Isaac looked at the screen and was shocked that it was his stats! It showed his Interface and everything in his possession, except there was no sight of Legacy Tournament Contender title.


    It was like it was a special title that isn''t allowed to be shared by anyone.


    Isaac realized that numbers are easier to remember than everyone''s names.


    ''''That room you dropped into is a ce we call as Judgement.'''' Tiffany said and soon continued, ''''Everyone goes there first after ''Descent'', which is the fall you guys take. In that room, your stats wille to us, and in that a room, weapons aren''t allowed, and everyone''s HP is 1.''''


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac murmured and then revealed his thoughts, ''''That room... You guys discovered it by a luck encounter? I have a feeling that it was designed as a prison.''''


    Tristan shrugged and said, ''''Probably, maybe it was a prison, but this ce was abandoned by a long time ago, it was in ruins, and only the rooms were somewhat intact, even though not perfect, but we rebuilt it, and this ce is now our own paradise.''''


    ''''You guys haven''t seen even a fraction of this ce,'''' Tiffany said with obvious pride in her tone.


    Isaac nodded and felt amazed, but he had one more question, ''''What about ''Hounds'', what are those?''''


    ''''You were in the room?'''' Tristan looked surprised, ''''How did you manage to hide? Interesting...''''


    ''''They are our pets,'''' Tiffany said and showed another screen on the table, which shows pair of dogs ying with each other innocently. They looked fluffy and not dangerous at all.


    ''''They usually track everyone who isn''t here with good intentions, but usually, it isn''t necessary because we can judge the people''s stats, so even though it sounds bad, we don''t ept Poison Masters, Assassins, Thiefs and Dark Priests... They seem most leaned to evil ways.''''


    Isaac scratched his neck and nodded, ''''Seems fair... But, not all of them are evil.''''


    ''''We are aware, but we can''t be safe with someone like them around,'''' Tiffany said with a sigh. If there was a better way to weed out bad yers and NPC''s, they would have done it a long time ago.


    ''''Final question...'''' Isaac''s words caught both Tristan''s and Tiffany''s attention.


    After seeing that he had their attention, he opened his mouth, ''''What about the people withb coats?''''


    Tristan smiled and said, ''''They are here to keep an eye on the Judgment rooms, and maybe one day... They will find out the secret behind them.''''


    Isaac nodded and was now sure that he had a massive misunderstanding.


    *Woohooo!*


    A loud chorus of cheering appeared suddenly, which attracted Isaac''s attention. He saw that only one man was left standing and it was the man who was unarmed!


    ''''He is Brawler...'''' Isaac murmured, and after he looked around the room and saw all the excited faces.


    A passion ignited inside him.. Passion for fighting in the arena.

 Chapter 151 - Isaac’s Match.

    *Tap* *Tap*


    Isaac tapped the table in front of him with anxiousness. Tristan and Tiffany didn''t know what he was anxious for, but they also had questions of their own.


    ''''Wraith... How did you get theb coat?'''' Tristan asked with a wry smile.


    ''''Oh...'''' Isaac bit his lip and scratched his head with awkwardness, ''''I might have or I might have not knocked out few guys withb coats and took it from them.''''


    ''''Oof...'''' ToughGuy140 covered his mouth with side of his fist and said, ''''You knocked out few dudes who were doing their jobs? You psychopath!''''


    Tristan and Tiffany wryly smiled. They took theirmunication devices and informed them to go to room 678.


    ''''I thought they are bad guys who want to do some experiments on me, not my fault.'''' Isaac rubbed his forehead, while his left hand''s index finger was still tapping on the table.


    ''''That''s what criminals say! You crazy maniac!'''' ToughGuy140 scremead right into Isaac''s ear.


    ''''Stop shouting!'''' Isaac screamed and pushed ToughGuy140''s head away.


    ''''He is lunatic!'''' ToughGuy140 shouted and stood up, ''''I can''t stay here anymore while this mass-murdering psycho is here! Where was the exit?!''''


    Isaac''s mouth and eyebrow twitched as his trigger finger was itching.


    Tristan wryly smiled and pointed at the direction of the exit, ''''There, once you open the door, there will be staircase, which leads you to the surface.''''


    ToughGuy140 nodded and snorted towards Isaac, ''''All kinds of people are allowed to y it seems... You should be in prison and not as free man, who knows what kind of sick stuff you are doing in your free time!'''' He humped onest time and stormed out.


    ''''Heh...'''' Isaac chuckled and clenched his fist in tight hold.


    He watched as ToughGuy140 left the room with his chin up pointing at the heavens.


    ''''Any more questions? If not, we need to start another match and find whoever wants to fight.'''' Tiffany said and was about to stand up.


    But then, Isaac remembered something, ''''Wait... Are you two familiar of yers having a function called Map?''''


    ''''Ah, yes.'''' Tristan nodded and poined at the waitress to get him a drink.


    The waitress nodded and went straight to the bar desk.


    ''''What about it?'''' Tiffany asked.


    ''''There was a red dot beeping, which led me straight to here, I don''t think it was coincidence.'''' Isaac said and locked his hands.


    ''''We have heard that from other yers too...'''' Tristan sighed and looked around the room, ''''Each single one of these yers found their way here because the red dot... We might have a hunch that it was the Judgment that called them here.''''


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac said and looked at the yers, who were talking with each other, or staying alone to drink whatever the bar desk offered.


    ''''You two aren''t worried that someone will reveal the location?'''' He decided to ask, but only received shrugs from both Tristan and Tiffany.


    ''''Only the ones who saw the red dot is only able toe here.'''' Tiffany said, and before Isaac could ask more questions, she continued, ''''Only yers who saw the red dot can do the ''Descent'' and no one else, we don''t know why, but we don''t mind.''''


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac received his answers, but he also got more questions in his mind, but he had a hunch that both Tristan and Tiffany can''t answer them.


    ''''I now need to start next match.'''' Tiffany said and stood up slowly, her thigh red dress, that outlined her curves nicely made it slightly difficult for her to make quick movements.


    ''''Wait...'''' Isaac raised his hand, which caused a frown to appear on Tiffany''s face.


    ''''Can I... Fight in the next match?'''' He asked with his heartbeat going on overdrive.


    Both Tristan and Tiffany looked surprised.


    ''''Are you sure?'''' Tristan asked seriously, ''''If you die... I hear yers has big penalties that makes them a lot weaker.''''


    ''''That''s right and you are Marksman.'''' Tiffany said. She remembered her ss after looking at his Interface, ''''Marksman aren''t exactly good for PvP and the arena is only 100 meters in length, you can neither hide or increase your distance to your opponent.''''


    Isaac smiled and stood up. He took off theb coat and put it gently on the couch, which also revealed his Lizard Scale Armor.


    ''''Also...'''' Tiffany pointed at the armor, ''''Armory isn''t allowed, it might give other yers unfair advantage.''''


    ''''Ah...'''' Isaac looked at his armor and pressed a button in front of him, which sucked the armor inside his Inventory.


    He also took his Camouge outfit and put it on with a press of a button.


    Tristan and Tiffany was surprised to see his outfit, which was something they had never seen before.


    ''''Nice outfit... But, grey color isn''t my favorite.'''' Tristan said and finally received his drink from the waitress.


    ''''Oh, what is it?'''' Isaac asked curiously with his mouth slightly curved into a small smile.


    ''''This.'''' Tristan pointed at his drink, which had liquid in color of blue, ''''I love color of blue and my dream has always been to see an ocean, but...'''' He sighed and took a sip of his drink, ''''But, ocean is nowhere to be seen in Stronglord Empire.''''


    ''''Alright, blue.'''' Under shocked eyes of Tristan and Tiffany, his grey outfit turned into a ocean blue!


    ''''W-What?!'''' Tiffany covered her mouth with shocked eyes.


    Even Tristan almost dropped his cup out of shock.


    ''''There, now, anymore rules I need to be aware of?'''' Isaac asked with amused smile. Everyone likes to flex and he isn''t any different.


    ''''No...'''' Tiffany said after calming down her emotions, ''''You can use your Main Weapon, doesn''t matter if someone has stronger or not, it would be unfair for them to use weapons they aren''t familiar with.''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''Who is my opponent?''''


    ''''I will go find one...'''' Tiffany said and moved out of the couch, ''''I have a hunch that many will fight knowing that their opponent is Marksman.'''' With those words of amusement, she left with her hips moving back and forth, making both NPCs and yers have hard time looking away.


    Tristan finished his drink with a gulp and stood up, ''''I will show you where you can enter the arena, follow me..'''' He turned around and started walking towards the corridor, where Isaac came from.

 Chapter 152 - Paladin.

    Tristan led Isaac through the corridor. They walked past the stairway where Isaac came from and went past several more doors until they reached a staircase that led to an even lower floor.


    Isaac followed closely behind, and it was only a dozen steps to reach the floor below. It looked like a basement with rough-looking walls and a floor made of stone.


    He also noticed the concrete walls, which were surrounding the arena before, and then, he noticed gates, where pair of guards were on standby.


    Tristan nodded to them and whispered a couple of words.


    The Guards nodded and stepped to the side.


    Tristan looked back at Isaac and said, ''''Gates will open once both you and your opponent are ready.''''


    Isaac nodded and stopped in front of the Gates. He took a deep breath and took his ammo pouches from his pocket, and strapped them on his waist.


    Tristan rubbed his chin at Isaac''s antics, he didn''t know why he was doing that, but he was unfamiliar with the ways of yers.


    Isaac tightened the straps tighter until he was certain that the pouches won''t fall down. Next, he took his Musket Rifle from the Inventory, and the sight of it, shocked both Tristan and the Guards.


    They have never seen a yer having such a gun before.


    ''''Now I see why you are confident,'''' Tristan said with a smile, and his eyes caught the sight of the de, which looked both dangerous and deadly.


    ''''Are you any good with Close Quarters Combat?'''' He asked curiously.


    Isaac shrugged and touched the tip of the de, which almost made a wound on his finger, ''''No, I am quite amateurish.'''' He chuckled and moved the Musket Rifle slightly, which made both Guards anxious to be facing such a long gun.


    ''''I usually just swing and hope I hit the target, maybe not the best approach, but I haven''t had time to learn Close Quarters Combat skills,'''' Isaac said everything truthfully and touched the side of Musket Rifle tenderly, feeling it''s hard and powerful texture.


    ''''I see...'''' Tristan nodded and wanted to make sure, ''''B-But, you know how to fire that thing, right? You don''t identally shoot anyone watching the fight, right?'''' He awkwardly chuckled and really hoped that Isaac knew what he was doing.


    Isaac chuckled and nodded, ''''No worries... I know how to shoot.'''' He tried to put his finger on the trigger but missed it on purpose and touched the side of the gun, ''''Oh.'''' He tilted his head and looked straight at the trigger, ''''Oh, that''s where the trigger was.''''


    Tristan and the Guards sweatdropped.


    Isaac smiled slightly; he was obviously kidding but wasn''t nning to correct himself.


    ''''R-Right...'''' Tristan coughed on his palm and turned around to leave with sweat pouring down from his forehead, ''''I-I will make preparation, j-just in case.''''


    ''''See you soon,'''' Isaac said with confidence and concentrated his gaze on the metallic gates.


    The Guards stepped to the side even more; they were too afraid to stay near Isaac when he was carrying the gun.


    Tristan''s footsteps became distinct as he left.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac acted ignorant and looked at the Guards, ''''Do you guys know how I can reload this?''''


    ''''U-Umm...'''' One of the Guards with blond hair was pale as a sheet, ''''N-No.''''


    ''''Hmm.'''' Isaac shrugged, ''''How hard can it be, right guys?''''


    The Guards almost facented and made a promise to themselves. They will go as far as possible after the match starts.


    After five more minutes of pretending, not knowing how to aim, shoot, reload, or hold the gun, the Gates finally showed movement.


    The Guards wiped the sweatdrops and were prepared to run off as fast as possible.


    *Creak*


    Isaac took a deep breath and went into serious mode. The gates slowly opened, making a trail of scratches on the stone ground as it was soon wide open.


    He already heard a chorus of cheering from the watching area and finally saw the first glimpse of his opponent.


    Another Gate was opened from another side of the arena.


    His opponent was a tall man around 2 meters in height with short blond hair and a stoic-looking face. His bare chest was visible, which left his explosive muscles and abs visible.


    His broad shoulders and well-chiseled jawline would be a dream of many women, but his face was not up to far. He didn''t look either attractive or ugly, instead in the middle with slightly bushy eyebrows and light blue eyes.


    He was holding a massive shield in his left hand, which was in color silver with some kind of symbol in the middle, which Isaac didn''t recognize.


    There was also a longsword on his right hand, which looked both tall and extremely deadly!


    [HolySword]


    His nametag was pure white in color, but it also told slightly about his personality. Isaac had a hunch that the stoic-looking man wasn''t too bad of a person but was very serious about winning this match.


    Also, seeing the equipment HolySword was wearing, Isaac was certain of his ss!


    ''''Knight...'''' Isaac murmured and entered the arena; instantly, he heard the sound of two Guards running away.


    He almost bursted intoughter, but managed to keep his serious look.


    HolySword stopped around 10 meters away from Isaac.


    ''I can kill him with one good hit... But he will never let that happen... Also, I am very vulnerable.'' Isaac looked straight at his own HP and felt very naked with such low HP.


    [HP: 195/195]


    ''''That''s too low...'''' Isaac murmured and widened his eyes after seeing his SP.


    [SP: 10]


    He forgot to assign them once again after defeating Ten Thieves; without further ado, he put them all on Vitality.


    [VIT: 60 -> 70]


    [HP: 205/205]


    [SP: 10 -> 0]


    Afterpleting his preparations, he aimed his Musket Rifle at HolySword, who was trying to cover his muscr and massive body behind the heavy-looking shield, which also worked, making every part of his body very hard to hit.


    ''''Everyone!'''' Isaac heard a sounding from speakers belonging to Tiffany.


    NPCs and yers with excitement looked down on the arena and waited for Tiffany''s words.


    ''''Today, we will have two individuals with twopletely different sses! So, there will be a fascinating and breathtaking match ahead!''''


    *CHEER!*


    NPCs and yers alike cheered loudly.


    ''''The one in the color of blue is our neer, Wraith, The Marksman!'''' Tiffany said powerfully.


    NPCs and yers were shocked to hear a Marksman fighting and even more felt disappointed because they had a hunch that the fight won''t be as exciting as they expected.


    ''''The one with a shield and sword is another neer, HolySword The Pdin!''''


    *CHEER!*


    This time, much louder cheers appeared, and over 90% of people present betted on HolySword''s victory.


    But, Isaac had another thought.


    He looked surprised, ''''Pdin? I have never seen one before... Exciting....''''

 Chapter 153 - Righteous Path.

    HolySword narrowed his eyes and scanned Isaac from head to toe. Even though he has heard about Marksman and how lousy of a ss it is, he still didn''t dare to belittle him, especially knowing that one good shot from his opponent would cause his demise.


    Isaac took a deep breath and waited for the match to begin. He felt extremely small in the presence of HolySword, whose shadow alone ovepped his figure, which both made him intimidated, but also felt threatened.


    ''''diators!'''' Tiffany''s voice came from the speakers as she loudly dered the match to begin, ''''Fight!''''


    Everyone who was watching leaned closer to the windows in hopes of seeing everything better, but then Tristan appeared and coughed loud enough to attract everyone''s attention, ''''Ahem, please stand back, we don''t want any idents to happen, right?'''' He said innocently, but his back was drenched in sweat.


    Tiffany was standing in front of one of the windows with amunication device in her hand, which was a small cube-like object which had a wire entering one of the machines in front of her.


    The machine had the sound of wheels turning with mechanical sound and different kinds of colors beeping from the holes of the device.


    She frowned and looked towards her brother, wondering why he didn''t want anyone near windows.


    NPCs and yers listened and took several steps backward, but just enough so that they could still see the match.


    Back in the arena.


    First signs of movement were seen.


    It wasing from HolySword, who slowly but steadily started approaching Isaac.


    Isaac took a step backward, trying to find a weak spot on HolySword''s defense, but the massive shield and longsword were covering everything.


    He wanted to keep his skills hidden, but he didn''t have any other choice to break his defense.


    Isaac came to a conclusion.


    HolySword slowly moved closer and finally saw Isaac making some movements, and it surprised him. The barrel of Musket Rifle started having ayer of ice, which made certain that Isaac was about to use a skill.


    HolySword lowered his stance until he was almost crouching with his shield touching the ground.


    [Icy Shot!]


    *Bam*


    *Bam*


    *Bam*


    Isaac pressed the trigger three times, which sent three different bullets made of ice.


    After he was done shooting, he jumped backwards and started making arger distance towards HolySword.


    *nk*


    *nk*


    *nk*


    The three ice bullets crashed onto HolySword''s shield, but they only managed to make a thinyer of ice to form in the shield, while the bullets cracked apart from the impact.


    Isaac''s attack was not sessful, and now HolySword knows that he has to be careful of the bullets made of ice.


    ''Layer of ice will appear on the barrel of that massive gun... I need to cover my body properly when he uses that attack... It can be destructive if it hits any of my body parts.'' HolySword thought to himself and peeked behind the shield, trying to see where Isaac was.


    But then, he widened his eyes as he saw Isaac using the concrete walls of the arena to propel himself up in the air!


    Isaac masterfully controlled his leap and changed the direction of his Musket Rifle simultaneously.


    After the barrel of the Musket Rifle was locked with HolySword''s unguarded face, he fired.


    *BANG!*


    A terrifying sound of gun firing was heard, and a bullet flew like a missile straight towards HolySword''s face, which was currently peeking behind the shield.


    HolySword anxiously crouched and heard the sound of something fast flying past.


    *BAM!*


    The bullet struck the concrete wall and got buried inside.


    ''He is quick!'' HolySword screamed internally and quickly peeked behind the shield, but this time he did it as quick as possible so that Isaac won''t have time to fire at him.


    He also wanted to take only a glimpse; he only needed to know Isaac''s general position.


    HolySword''s head once again peeked behind the shield and saw Isaac rushing straight towards him with his gun in firing position.


    *BANG!*


    Another bullet left the Musket Rifle, but HolySword already expected it and had hidden behind the shield once again.


    Once the bullet was about to collide with the concrete wall, it suddenly disappeared, without leaving any traces behind, but HolySword failed to notice it.


    ''I remember this gun having five shots... Three remaining.'' HolySword has memorized everything that has been revealed in the forums, and he remembers a Marksman bragging about owning Musket Rifle, which closely resembled Isaac''s gun.


    He also revealed the full stats of the gun, and now everyone knows about the reload and shot capacity of the gun.


    Isaac isn''t aware of it yet; since he didn''t y for a whole day and the game is still in baby steps, a lot of things can happen in a day!


    HolySword heard the approaching footsteps, but he also knew that Isaac was controlling the match, and he couldn''t keep going on like this.


    He slowly stood up from his crouching stance, and he listened closely at the sound of footsteps, so he could know Isaac''s general position, and once he was about 80% sure, he made his move.


    Slightly changing direction, he took a step forwards, and suddenly an illusionary armory appeared around his muscr and tall figure.


    The shield started glowing in the color of pure white.


    Isaac had to cover his eyes after the bright, pure white appeared, but then he heard the sound of something approaching.


    HolySword lunged towards Isaac with his shield still in front of him!


    [Righteous Path!]


    His steps caused a dust cloud to appear in his path, which also revealed his position to Isaac, who was already jumping to the side.


    But before being able to do that, HolySword pushed his shield forwards and felt it colliding with something.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac was hit by the side of the shield and flew a couple of meters before crashing down on the ground.


    HolySword''s rush came to a halt as he turned his head and saw Isaac lying down on the ground.. He quickly changed his directions and rushed straight towards Isaac with his longsword, ready to sh.

 Chapter 154 - Isaac Vs. HolySword!

    In the watching area.


    ''''It''s over!'''' One of the yers shouted with excitement. He is about to win another bet, which will increase his ie to 10k White Coins.


    He betted everything on this match because even a blind man can see that Pdin has an obvious advantage.


    ''''As expected, this yer Wraith is indeed foolish!'''' One of his friends shouted.


    But then, a female yer next to them pondered before asking, ''''Wraith... That sounds familiar, don''t you think?''''


    ''''Hmm, can''t remember.'''' A male yer shrugged and snorted, ''''But damn, he is indeed foolish. Fighting in diator Match where all his advantages are gone, what a stupid moron.''''


    The NPCs who were watching were also expecting a quick end of the match and were already preparing to go collect their money.


    Tiffany sadly smiled, ''I should have stopped him from going... Shame, he was funpany.''


    Tristan also sighed and shook his head, ''Not everyone is made for fighting... Maybe he will learn from this experience, and I hope it won''t impact him too much.''


    Everyone expected the match to end, and in the next couple of seconds, everything will be revealed.


    Back in the arena.


    HolySword did a downwards sh with the intent to slice through Isaac''s body.


    Isaac quickly rolled on the ground towards the right and heard the sound of a sword hitting the ground behind him.


    HolySword''s muscr arm bulged as he quickly changed directions and started striking the ground, but Isaac was slippery like an eel and managed to roll around with enough speed to dodge each strike.


    After hearing the sound of attacks stopping, Isaac quickly stood up, just in time to see HolySword rushing with another swung of his sword.


    Isaac at first thought about using his Musket Rifle''s de to block the attack, but seeing the sturdiness and length of HolySword''s longsword, he knew that it would be suicide.


    His Musket Rifle''s de is rtively thin, which would crack apart from impact without any problems.


    Instead, he aimed his Musket Rifle''s barrel straight towards the iing sword, and ayer of ice instantly appeared in the barrel.


    [Icy Shot!]


    *Bam!*


    HolySword narrowed his eyes and quickly changed the grip of his longsword, and deflected the ice bullet with the side of his sword.


    The ice bullet cracked from the impact and didn''t even manage to freeze the sword.


    ''''Damn!'''' Isaac quickly crouched and felt the wind pressureing from the sword brushing past his head.


    The longsword barely missed his head, but HolySword was already ready to sh again, and this time, his target was Isaac''s body.


    Isaac saw the shadow of the longsword already approaching his body, and instantly after he thought about counter-attacking, his body did it automatically, like it was on auto-pilot.


    It was the result of the Mythical VR Helmet that helped Isaac to use his brilliant mind to it''s fullest capacity.


    Without even looking, Isaac pointed the Musket Rifle towards HolySword and fired another ice bullet.


    [Icy Shot!]


    HolySword tried to deflect the ice bullet but missed and watched as the ice bullet struck right at his wrist.


    Quickly, his wrist was surrounded by ayer of ice that made his armpletely numb but also made moving the sword very difficult.


    Isaac quickly aimed straight at HolySword''s face and squeezed the trigger!


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel with a trail of smoke, and with unimaginable timing, HolySword managed to move the shield in front of him, which blocked the shot.


    Once he got shot by the ice bullet, he had already started moving his shield for protection, and this time, it saved his life.


    Isaac clicked his tongue and jumped backward to get some distance.


    *Bam!*


    HolySword used the side of this shield to hit theyer of ice, and soon, the ice cracked.


    His wrist was freed, but his skin had changed color from white to blue.


    ''''Huff...'''' He breathed out cold air from his lungs and was truly frightened to see that temperature around his body had fallen so much just from a single bullet.


    ''Two...'' HolySword thought to himself and knew that Isaac''s bullets were reducing, but he isn''t nning to be careless.


    Icy Shot is troublesome, and the power frightens him, even though he didn''t lose any HP from getting hit by it.


    There is also a second skill left, which could be even more troublesome, and HolySword is being very watchful of it.


    He also had a hunch that it might be a supportive skill, but it is only a guess, and he isn''t nning to risk his life on that guess.


    In the watching area.


    NPCs and yers were shocked to see Isaac surviving, and at one moment, they thought that Isaac might have the upper hand!


    But soon, they shook those thoughts out of their minds because they were still confident that Pdin can''t lose to Marksman in a head-to-head battle.


    Tiffany looked startled and dropped the cube-like object from her hand, which didn''t drop to the ground, instead it kept hanging on the side of the machine with the help of the wire that was stuck on the object.


    Tristan wryly smiled and felt his cheeks heating up after now realizing that Isaac had joked about not knowing how to shoot.


    He also has to admit that Isaac''s skills with Musket Rifle are a sight to behold, and he was starting to lean on Isaac''s victory.


    Back in the arena.


    Both HolySword and Isaac weren''t moving.


    Isaac didn''t dare to make any reckless moves while HolySword was waiting for his skill''s cooldown to end.


    And soon... It did.


    HolySword received a notification, which told that his cooldown on Righteous Path had ended.


    Even though the cooldown ended, he can''t use it recklessly. It drains a lot of stamina, and the next time he uses it, it might make him way too exhausted to keep fighting for too long.


    ''I need to find a good moment and use Righteous Path to finish off my opponent...'' HolySword started making his own ns.


    NPCs and yers who were watching the match weren''t aware of just how much mind games were happening during the match, but it made both HolySword and Isaac mentally exhausted.


    Every movement since the start of the match was carefully calcted by both of them, and soon, the oue of the match will be revealed.

 Chapter 155 - Hero’s Rising.

    A drop of sweat trailed down Isaac''s face while his exhaustion was catching up.


    [HP: 175/205]


    Isaac took a quick glimpse of his HP and was slightly relieved to have still enough HP to survive at least one attack. Once he got hit by HolySword''s shield, he lost 30 HP, which was indeed terrifying; he can''t imagine what kind of damage he would suffer from a sword strike.


    HolySword also kept a close eye on his own HP.


    [HP: 181/217]


    He lost around 36 HP from the ice bullet, which injured his arm that caused the loss of HP.


    He saw Isaac''s HP bar floating in the air and was not even the slightest happy about having more HP. It was expected that he, as Pdin, would focus on HP, but it was not by much!


    HolySword was truly shocked that Marksman like Isaac put so much effort into Vitality, while the rest of the Shooter sses focused on their Special and Agility stats.


    He doesn''t know whether it is too smart for him to understand the reasoning for Isaac''s choice, but he feels like it was a mistake on his part.


    Isaac took a short breath and saw HolySword''s defense being as sturdy as ever.


    ''His skill cooldown has probably ended by now... Time to see just how strong his defense is.'' The next moment caused everyone to widen their eyes in surprise.


    Without any notice.


    Isaac ended the stalemate and unleashed a storm of Ice bullets!


    [Icy Shot!]


    [Icy Shot!]


    [Icy Shot!]


    [Icy Shot!]


    [Icy Shot!]


    [Icy Shot!]


    He kept squeezing the trigger and felt the recoil rocking his shoulder, but he didn''t stop firing.


    He tried to see the full capacity of Icy Shot and if it has any disadvantages.


    HolySword widened his eyes in shock and hid behind the shield, he heard the sound of ice cracking and hitting his shield, which also made his body stumble backward, but it was nothing that he couldn''t handle.


    But, another problem arose. He felt his hand, which was carrying the shield, starting to be colder, and the reason was apparent.


    Ayer of ice was fully covering the surface of the shield, which also transferred the cold towards HolySword''s arm.


    ''''Huff...'''' Again, he took another breath of cold air and knew that he needed to do something before things turned ugly.


    Isaac stopped firing and also took a puff of cold air. His hands were trembling while theyer of icepletely blocked his Musket Rifle''s barrel, which makes firing more impossible.


    ''''I-I-I see...'''' He said with his teeth nking, which made it apparent that Isaac was feeling a great amount of cold.


    ''''I-It has quite b-big of a side effect...'''' He turned the Musket Rifle sideways and saw the barrel being covered with ayer of ice, which means it would be impossible to fire even normal bullets.


    HolySword peeked behind the shield and widened his eyes after seeing Isaac''s condition.


    ''Of course... Every skill has side effects...'' He smirked and thought that Isaac was foolish, but he didn''t mind; it would make winning easier for him.


    Isaac used his left hand and kept punching theyer of the ice, it started cracking fairly soon, but before it waspletely broken, he heard approaching footsteps.


    HolySword was once again rushing with his body glowing and his shield ready to smash any obstacles.


    [Righteous Path!]


    The shield started glowing in bright white light, which forced every spectator to turn their heads away.


    Isaac, this time didn''tpletely turn his head away. Instead, he lowered his gaze and looked straight towards HolySword''s feet.


    This way, he knew how far his opponent was.


    After HolySword reached an attacking range he isfortable with, he pushed his shield forwards and expected to hear the sound of flesh getting hit, but instead of hearing that, he heard... Nothing.


    His rushsted for another ten meters with his shield still pushing forwards, but he didn''t feel like he hit anyone.


    He looked confused and moved his shield to the side, so he could see in front of him, and the sight he saw made him pale considerably.


    Isaac was holding his Musket Rifle with theyer of ice removed; the barrel pointed straight at his torso.


    ''I see...'' HolySword wryly smiled and forgot about one of the advantages of Shooter sses. Their great movement speed.


    Once he pushed his shield forwards, he expected to Isaac get hit when he was trying to dodge, but instead of dodging, he ran backwards with a speed that was beyond HolySword''s; that''s why he couldn''t hit him because Isaac was simply faster.


    *BANG!*


    Isaac squeezed the trigger and felt his Musket Rifle tremble after the shot. It felt like recoil was much bigger than before, but Isaac felt like something was inside the barrel; it could have been small ice blocks.


    But, he didn''t care because the bullet left the barrel sessfully, and HolySword was an only meter away; there was no way it could miss.


    And... It didn''t miss.


    *SPURT!*


    The bullet pierced through HolySword''s torso and exited from the back with fully covered in blue liquid.


    HolySword paled as his HP started reducing in dangerous amount.


    [-151 HP]


    [HP: 30/217]


    Isaac quickly put his finger back on the trigger and fired once more.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left like a cannon; this time, nothing was blocking it inside the barrel.


    *SWOOSH!*


    But...


    HolySword moved the shield in front of him as fast as he could and blocked the iing bullet, but the impact of the attack was too strong, which caused him to stumble backwards, and he wasn''t far from falling down on his butt.


    Isaac seeing a winning near, rushed forwards with the thin de ready to kill his opponent.


    But then...


    ''''Huff...'''' HolySword put the shield in front of him and the sword into a shing stance, but he also decided to use the second skill he received from level 25!


    [Hero''s Rising!]


    Isaac halted his steps with disbelief filling his face, ''''That''s... Unfair.''''


    A smirk appeared on HolySword''s face as he saw notifications popping up in front of him.


    [+100 HP!]


    [HP: 130/217]

 Chapter 156 - Cheater!

    In the watching area.


    The atmosphere was starting to get heated.


    Both NPCs and yers cheered loudly, most of them cheered for HolySword''s victory.


    Many betted for his victory after all, and a few lonesome figures who gambled on Isaac could have a big payday ahead.


    It was apparent who betted on Isaac.


    Few NPCs had sweaty palms as their hands were on praying gestures, hoping for Isaac''s victory.


    None of the yers betted for Isaac''s victory because they thought it was obvious who would win, but they weren''t as confident anymore.


    ''''Come on, HolySword! Use your sword¡ª you can''t win with defending!'''' The yers started back seating; many even had red faces after all that shouting.


    ''''HolySword? Why are you called like that if you don''t use your goddamn sword! You are stronger in Close Quarters, just fucking attack!''''


    ''''Attack, attack, attack! Come on!''''


    Neither HolySword nor Isaac can hear any sounding from the watching area, but yers and NPCs alike didn''t care as they kept shouting.


    ''''I would have won already¡ª what a noob!'''' One of the yers arrogantly said as he was surrounded by his friends, who also were lucky enough to enter the paradise made by Tristan and Tiffany.


    There were few, who couldn''t enter, but they left them behind and started adventuring with faces full of excitement, and the thing they found was much better than they expected to find.


    They now feel special knowing about a ce, which is hidden frommon people.


    Tristan was not far from them and heard their arrogant conversation. He sighed and shook his head as he knew that the level of the battle they were witnessing was way above ordinary yer level.


    It could be almost at the level of Pro''s.


    He was almost certain that those arrogant yers would have got defeated in seconds, let alone win.


    Back in the arena.


    ''''You know what... You have zero bullets left.'''' HolySword said with a grin; he moved his shield so that his bare chest could be visible, filled with explosive muscles.


    Isaac didn''t answer; instead kept aiming towards HolySword, his arms were still trembling, and a slight sign of frost was visible on his outfit.


    ''''Heh...'''' HolySword lowered his stance and put his sword into a stabbing stance while his shield was protecting his side, and he was ready to move it to block his body if needed.


    ''''You are strong, I admit, you are around level 30, I assume?'''' HolySword guessed, and after not receiving a reply, he shrugged and continued, ''''Getting lowered by 5 levels isn''t that bad¡ª you will still be around Pro yer levels, but of course, hehe, you can''t catch up on top yers anymore.'''' He winked and felt truly thrilled after knowing that there was nothing that could go wrong anymore.


    The reason why he thinks that Isaac is level 30, is because of abnormally high Vitality for Shooter ss and the skill he has shown, which can only mean that Isaac is around 30 level.


    If he knew that Isaac was only level 26, he would probably pass out of shock.


    ''''Hmm, can I know your level? You know, so that I don''t feel too bad about my loss.'''' Isaac said with a twitching eyebrow.


    HolySword smirked, ''''Sure, I am level 30, so we are the same level, no need to be sullen because of your loss.'''' After finishing his words, he took a step forwards and started running straight towards Isaac.


    He knows that he needs to hurry before Isaac''s cooldown ends.


    Ayer of ice started slowly forming on the barrel of Musket Rifle, which was a signal for HolySword to put a shield as a block, but because he did that, he didn''t notice theyer of ice disappearing.


    Isaac concentrated his strength on his right leg and jumped!


    HolySword heard the sound of jumping, which could be easy enough to be heard, and he slightly lowered the shield, so he could see where he jumped.


    He saw Isaac jumping straight over his shield and body!


    ''''Wha¡ª'''' He couldn''t believe his eyes as he saw Isaac jumping much higher than he had anyone seen jumping before; even Archers he met couldn''t jump so high!


    ''''First Vitality, now his Agility?!'''' He eximed, but he soon regained his focus.


    Even though Isaac''s jumping ability is incredible, it still shouldn''t change the oue of the match.


    With his longsword, he lunged forwards and was already thrusting it forwards.


    Isaac, afternding on the ground, quickly did a side step, which was enough to dodge the longsword, but it wasn''t a long-term solution because HolySword instantly changed his direction of the attack.


    From thrusting stance, his stance changed into a shing stance, and without further ado, he swung his sword straight towards Isaac''s neck.


    HolySwordpletely ignored his defense and put all his effort into the attacking. He has counted the time and knows that it has been 10 seconds since the cooldown should have started.


    He knows that he has only 5 seconds left to finish the match!


    But, this was also the moment Isaac was waiting!


    He took a quick step backward and watched as the longsword brushed past his throat, the tip almost touching.


    But, since HolySword''s swing of the sword was so wide, he was leftpletely unguarded, and his shield was nowhere near to protect his body.


    Isaac, as quickly as possible, aimed his Musket Rifle towards HolySword''s torso, or more precisely, at the spot where his heart should be.


    HolySword gritted his teeth and concentrated his gaze on the Musket Rifle''s barrel and didn''t see theyer of ice forming, which means that he has nothing to worry about!


    ''4 seconds left, my next move will finish this!'' HolySword''s heart started beating loudly as he started getting more excited and quickly tried to cancel his swing, so he could finish this match.


    But then...


    Isaac squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    ''''Eh?'''' HolySword''s steps halted as something pierced through his heart. He shakily turned his head back towards Isaac and saw the barrel smoking, like it had been just fired.


    ''''N-No... T-That''s not possible...'''' He touched his chest, which was dripping with blue liquid.


    ''''N-N-No... I had 4 seconds left¡ª you didn''t even reload!'''' HolySword screamed and soon fell down on his knees as his legs started turning into pixels.


    He took onest hateful nce towards Isaac and saw his relieved face, which made him even angrier.


    ''''You cheater!'''' HolySword screamed and turned his gaze towards the spectators, ''''He is cheate¡ª'''' His whole body turned into pixels and disappeared from the World of White.


    Isaac sighed and shook his head because of the false usations.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [You Killed yer HolySword]


    [1500 XP Earned!]

 Chapter 157 - Top 100 Rankings.

    Isaac picked up the dropped items of his opponent, which consisted of the shield HolySword was using and some kind of Potion-like item.


    ''''Hmm?'''' He picked it up and examined the bottle, which looked very familiar.


    He tapped a few buttons in front of him, and soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him, which told the info of the item.


    [XP Boost Potion - Rare]


    [XP Boost Potion: Increases the XP received by 100%!]


    His eyes widened in shock. He expected it to be Healing Potion, not Rare XP Boost Potion!


    He once had Umon XP Boost Potion, and that alone was a massive help!


    Isaac took a glimpse of the spectators'' area, and as expected, there were a lot of shocked faces, but some were also trying to see what items he received.


    He sneakily stored the items inside his Inventory and slowly stood up, so he could start leaving the arena.


    After leaving the arena through the gates, he heard approaching footstepsing from the staircase.


    He turned his head and saw Tristan stopping at the bottom of the stairs, who started waving his hand, ''''Wraith, I have something to show you, and congrattions on winning!'''' He only said those words and ran back to the upstairs.


    Isaac was curious about what he wanted to show and left the basement area.


    After reaching the spectators'' area, he saw more clearly how shocked NPCs and yers really were.


    Most of the yers were fuming with anger and some out of embarrassment after telling their friends of how obvious the match result will be.


    Isaac scratched his hair and walked past the angry NPCs and yers, who weren''t that pleased to lose a big sum of money, but the ones who gambled on Isaac were thrilled and almost cried in joy.


    He saw Tristan waving at him from another side of the wall, and a massive board was behind him, with hundreds of different names and numbers.


    Isaac stopped next to Tristan and saw the text on top of the board.


    [Top 100 Rankings]


    ''''Rankings...'''' He repeated the words.


    ''''It is rankings for Top yers, and now that you won your first match...'''' Tristan smiled and touched the bottom of the board, where a familiar name was located.


    [Top 97: Wraith - W: 1 - L: 0]


    ''''I only won once... And I still got into rankings.'''' Isaac was surprised and wondered what the point of the rankings was.


    Tristan seeing his look, decided to answer, ''''There are prizes for Rankings.''''


    ''''Oh?'''' Isaac turned his head away from the Rankings Board and waited for Tristan to continue.


    ''''Top 100 gets 1 XP Boost Potion of Umon Rank, top 75 gets 3 XP Boost Potions of Umon rank, top 50 gets 5 XP Boost Potions of Umon rank.'''' Tristan did a few hand signals and saw Isaac nodding, which resulted in him continuing. ''''Top 25 receives 3 XP Boost Potions of Rare rank, and from top 10 onwards, each rank has special prizes.''''


    ''''I see.'''' Isaac nodded and turned his gaze at the top of the board, where the top 1 name was colored in golden color.


    [Top 1: King us - W: 17 - L: 0]


    ''''King us!'''' Isaac eximed and was truly shocked to see his name on the board.


    ''''You know him?'''' Tristan asked.


    Isaac sighed and shook his head, ''''Not personally.''''


    Tristan nodded and said with crossed arms, ''''He is a strong fighter, but... Very strange.''''


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Isaac frowned and wanted to know more about him.


    Tristan shrugged and sat down on the couch; he pointed at the seat next to him and watched as Isaac sat down before continuing, ''''No one really knows his ss. He uses a weapon, which resembles a gun, but also a spear.''''


    Isaac frowned and thought that it was a very weird description.


    ''''Can you describe it more?'''' He asked.


    Tristan nodded and remembered the first time he saw his weapon, and it is still vivid on his mind, ''''It was as long as your weapon, maybe a little bit longer, and it was covered in a dark cloak, which hid how the weapon looked, but the outline still made it sure that it was either a very long gun or ordinary spear.''''


    Isaac scratched the back of his head and remembered King Jonathan saying that King us is Marksman.


    ''''The way he used the weapon was simr to how someone would use a spear,'''' Tristan said and remembered the scene of King us'' first victory and how effortlessly he sliced up his opponent with the de of his weapon.


    A Musket Rifle appeared on Isaac''s hand, which surprised Tristan, but he decided to see what Isaac nned to do.


    Isaac touched the thin de and tenderly touched the side of the weapon.


    Isaac felt incredible pressureing from King us'' name alone. ''He is hiding what ss he is using... But, he is still so strong even without using his weapon properly...''


    ''''Wraith, congrattions!'''' Both Tristan and Isaac turned their heads towards the beautiful middle-aged woman, who could steal anyone''s breath away.


    Tiffany smiled and sat down next to her brother and curiously looked towards Isaac, who was carrying his Musket Rifle.


    ''''Thanks,'''' Isaac replied and opened the Inventory and stored his Musket Rifle in there before closing his Interface once again.


    ''''Here is your payment,'''' Tiffany said and put a pouch made of leather on the table.


    ''''I get money?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow and wasn''t aware of it.


    ''''You didn''t know?'''' Tiffany''s eyes widened to saucers, ''''Why did you fight then?''''


    Isaac shrugged and grabbed the pouch, ''''For fun, why else?''''


    Tristan and Tiffany sweatdropped and they have not met anyone who would willingly fight a life and death match for ''fun''.


    ''''Hahaha...'''' Tiffany awkwardlyughed and said, ''''Anyway, winning a match would earn you 50k White Coins.''''


    [50000 White Coins Acquired!]


    Isaac watched as the White Coins was sucked inside his Interface and his White Coins amount, which was already a ridiculous amount, became even more ridiculous.


    [White Coins: 202323]

 Chapter 158 - Leaving The Paradise Behind.

    The floor, where the spectators'' area was bustling with people, more and more yers wereing from the corridors, whom Isaac had never seen before, but he knew that at this rate, the ce would be too crowded to move properly.


    Tristan and Tiffany also saw the problem and decided to start another match.


    ''''Wraith, it was nice to meet you,'''' Tiffany said and offered her soft hand for a handshake.


    Isaac nodded and shook her hand, and watched as she walked away.


    He sighed and stood up; he decided to leave this majestic ce, which will definitely stay in his memories as another ce where he can visit every now and then.


    He nced at the Ranking Boards, and decided toe backter to try to improve his Ranking spot and hopefully continue his winning streak.


    ''''You leaving?'''' Tristan asked after seeing Isaac gazing at the exit multiple times.


    Isaac nodded and decided to ask, ''''When are the Rankings finalized?'''' He wanted to know how long it was before the event was over.


    ''''1 month.'''' Tristan said simply with a slight smile.


    Isaac nodded and offered a handshake, ''''This was fun.''''


    ''''d you enjoyed it,'''' Tristan said and shook his hand.


    Before leaving, Isaac took another nce at the different yers and NPCs; he also saw a few suspicious individuals who were wearing masks, obviously trying to hide their faces for whatever reason.


    ''''White and ck,'''' Isaac murmured, and his blue outfit started changing; the jacket became the color of pure white with pants and boots that were in the color of ck.


    He covered his features with the hood and swiftly dodged the crowd of people in front of him, and started making his way over to the exit.


    His figure didn''t attract any attention; some were still searching for figures with a blue outfit andpletely missed Isaac when he walked right past them.


    After he reached the exit, he opened the door without looking back and entered another room, where a massive staircase was leading to the surface.


    He sighed and stretched his limbs before starting his journey to the surface.


    Back in the spectators'' area.


    Only moments after Isaac left.


    A figure with ck-colored appeared with a mask that covered most of his face, except his eyes, appeared in the spectators'' area. His bright blue eyes could be seen underneath the mask and a string of his hair, which was in the color of ck.


    His outfit consisted of a ck robe and brown-colored pants, which wasn''t leather but instead something else that looked very durable.


    On his back, some kind of weapon was strapped. It was fully covered in a dark cloak, with a tip of de creeping from there.


    The weapon looked both deadly and frightening.


    He scanned the area like a hawk, and it only took him a split second to find Tiffany, who was currently talking with a group of yers who wanted to be in the next match.


    With calm steps, he started walking towards Tiffany, and once his nametag was seen by other yers, their faces turned into admiration, and some were even worship.


    [King us]


    He is King us, one of the most powerful yers in the game and, unknowingly, Isaac''s rival!


    ...


    Half an hourter and thousands of stepster.


    Isaac slowly moved his leg up thest step, and once he reached the top of the staircase, he started breathing roughly with an exhausted face.


    ''''T-T-They really need to build an elevator.'''' He wiped the sweat from his forehead and moved the bangs out of the way, so he could see where the exit was.


    The ce where he was surprised him. He was in the middle of a spacious cave, with a corridor made of rocks not far from him. At the end of the corridor, a sh of light was seen, and it instantly told Isaac that there was the exit.


    ''''Is it possible to enter Paradise from here?'''' Isaac looked down the stairs and wondered why no one used this route.


    He shrugged and was sure that he would find the reason fairly soon. With heavy steps, he started walking, and there wasn''t anything special in the cave.


    Walls and ceiling made of rocks, without any source of light, except the one that ising from the exit.


    Even though he was exhausted, he still touched the rock wall to feel the texture because he has been fascinated by every tiny detail about the game. He is amazed at how realistic it is and wants to know does it really feel like in real life.


    ''''It indeed does...'''' Ever since he received Mythical VR Helmet, he feels like everything feels more realistic than before, but he has a hunch that it isn''t the only reason.


    Sense Enchantment also lets him feel the pressure of the touch, which probably is another reason, but Isaac isn''t too certain about that.


    He felt the rock being very gritty, almost like sand, with some of the rock pieces on the wall having more sharper texture. He trailed his fingertip on the rock wall and felt everything clearly.


    One thing he also liked about White Online was the air!


    It is much clearer than in real life, where most air is polluted, but that isn''t a big problem in Wintend as in other Continents.


    But still, especially in forests like the Forest of Unknown, he could clearly smell nature and feel the fresh air assaulting his senses, making him feel very rxed and pleasant.


    The more time he spends in White Online, the more he wants to spend his time here, but he doesn''t want to bezy in real life and start ignoring his own health.


    ''''It would be so good if White Online was connected with the real world... Heh...'''' He chuckled and shook those thoughts out of his mind, ''''Again, these thoughts... It is too good to be true and it is simply... Impossible.''''


    With these thoughts, he left the cave behind him and entered a mountainside with a path that was leading straight down.


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock and looked around him. He was standing in the middle of a massive mountain, which was easily over 5km in height!


    Looking back, he saw the cave, and now he understood why no one used this route.


    It is simply too difficult to get in here!


    Walking up here alone will take an hour, and who knows how far it is from the entrance of the Forest!


    Isaac looked down and shook his head, ''''I will definitely not walk that.'''' The path was quite rough and very tough to walk in, and it was around 3 kilometers in length, and even after that, he has to navigate through the forest and somehow not die.


    He took Teleportation Pearl from his Inventory and, with wry smile, said his words, ''''Home.''''

 Chapter 159 - Streamers.

    *Tap*


    Isaac touched the side of his headgear and turned the VR Helmet off before putting it back down on the ck box.


    After leaving Paradise, he noticed that there wasn''t anything left to do in the game and decided to log out for the time being.


    He closed the ck box, and once his hand touched it, he felt the very smooth and hard texture of the box.


    *Bam*


    *Bam*


    He knocked on the box several times with his knuckles and didn''t even make a dent on it.


    Isaac had never seen a box like this before and was, as usual, curious about what was it made from.


    He was certain that it wasn''t metal, instead something else.


    But, even though he was curious, he wasn''t that interested currently finding out what it was made from. He is quick to get bored of such tedious tasks.


    He stored the ck box inside the wardrobe, right next to the box which was keeping the Bronze VR Helmet.


    Isaac took a glimpse towards the Bronze VR Helmet, but soon afterwards, he closed the wardrobe''s doors.


    His next destination was his desk, or more precisely, the cab. He took his silver key from the ce he hid it and opened the lock.


    With a swift movement, he opened the door of the cab and took a notebook from there. He sat down on the chair and put the notebook gently on top of the wooden desk.


    From a cupboard, he grabbed a pencil and started writing down the things he did today. It took him half an hour to finish writing everything, and once he was done, he stored it back inside the cab and closed the door.


    *Clink*


    The key went inside the keyhole, which was used to lock the cab tightly.


    After he was done, he went towards a small shelf, which had books of different kinds. He grabbed a book, which was one of his old school books and stored the key inside the book, and put it back on the shelf.


    ''''I wonder what Underlord is up to...'''' Isaac murmured and saw hisptop lying down on top of the desk, where he was an only moment ago still writing.


    Theptop was connected to the charger, and a green light was shown, which signaled that it had 100% battery.


    Isaac took off the charger and grabbed theptop before returning back to the bed.


    He sat down on his soft bed, which made his body bounce slightly beforeing to a stop.


    After putting theptop down on the bed, he opened it, and the screen started turning on, which showed the familiar screen, with a wallpaper of Isaac and his family.


    He used theptop''s mouse and clicked the Inte Browser couple of times.


    It only took a second for it to pop up on the screen. Isaac felt it weird for hisptop to be so fast whenpared to that oldputer he used in the abandoned hospital.


    The difference was like Heaven and Earth.


    *nk*


    Isaac tapped the mouse and started typing on the keyboard.


    [.StreamKing]


    He pressed the enter button on the keyboard, and soon the website loaded, and the three most popr streams currently were the first ones that became visible.


    Isaac took a deep breath after seeing them having over 2 million viewers each; it was an amount that was too much for him toprehend.


    ''''Imagine having so many watching you y or talk... Aren''t they nervous at all?'''' He asked from himself and didn''t know what the streamers thought about such attention.


    Did they like attention?


    Did they feel nervous?


    Aren''t they worried about making fun of themselves?


    He did not know the answer to any of these questions. Isaac started scrolling down and went to the section, which showed his followed streamers, and at the top was Underlord with view count that surprised Isaac greatly.


    [Viewers: 1,046,435]


    ''''This is insane... I only remember him recently having 50k...'''' He used the mouse and entered Underlord''s stream.


    He leaned on the wall behind him, but before that, he put a pillow behind him that allowed him to watch without any ufortableness.


    In the stream, he saw Underlord walking in the forest with a group of well-dressed men and women.


    Most of them were very beautiful, some handsome, but all of them had one thing inmon. Each one of them had a simr camera floating around them.


    ''''All of them are streamers...'''' Isaac murmured and scanned all of the people present. He sighed after seeing all of them dressing in a way that made their looks stand out. Most of them didn''t even have armor, which is crucial, but Isaac had noticed that having good looks made streaming career much easier.


    Without good looks, you either need to be extremely good at the game or funny, which some of the top streamers greatlyck and only count on their looks.


    Underlord was also quite handsome with an overall gentle look around him that made him very popr with the opposite sex. He was also very good in White Online, which made his streaming career explode in poprity.


    Isaac curiously looked at the chat.


    He saw quite manyining about dying before level 6 and had to buy a new VR Helmet, but he didn''t have any money. It is another problem, if they die and won''t have enough buy new one instantly, they will be left behind.


    Isaac sighed and then remembered, ''''Ah right... If someone is getting spam killed until he/she is below 1... They have to buy a new VR Helmet, imagine if I died...'''' He had chills knowing that if he was reduced all the way to level 0 and had to buy a new one, but he has Mythical VR Helmet, and he would definitely cry tears of blood if that happened to him!


    After getting rid of those nightmarish thoughts, he also saw the chatplementing the looks of the beautiful young women who were in that group, and Isaac has to admit that they were pretty, but frowned and shook his head after seeing them having almost no protection.


    They were wearing dresses, which makes their mobility bad, and also makes protection nonexistent.

 Chapter 160 - Streaming?

    Isaac watched the stream in silence. Underlord was currently thanking the subscriptions and donations, which had alreadysted 5 minutes.


    He gets so many subscriptions and donations that he decided to only thank everyone after every hour, and no matter how fast he is trying to thank everyone, it will still take over 10 minutes.


    None of the people watching didn''t seem to mind as they kept chatting about White Online.


    Isaac scratched his head, and after getting tired of listening to the thanking for five minutes straight, he decided to start writing on the chat.


    [Wraith: L]


    And sent.


    He chuckled and rested his head on his palm as he saw a rain of messages that tagged him.


    [Sandy: @Wraith You back! Haven''t seen you in a while!]


    [Tyrant: @Wraith Shameless boy is back! I was hoping that you had died somewhere in a ditch!]


    Isaac snorted and showed a middle finger on the screen, aiming it towards Tyrant.


    ''''Shameless? Ptui!'''' Isaac spat in anger and started reading other messages.


    [Showoff: Oh no, @Wraith is here, now all decency of the chat has disappeared]


    He received another dozen or so joke messages.


    Isaac has been watching Underlord for years, so he is basically an OG and very popr among Underlord''s fans for his humility and modesty.


    ''''...'''' Isaac bit his lip, ''''Shameless, me? I am so modest, this is defamation.'''' He shook his head and clicked his tongue.


    He started typing with blinding speed and soon sent his message.


    [Wraith: Hello hello, Modest guy is back, by the way, what is mister Streamer doing currently?]


    Isaac has watched for quite some time but didn''t understand what Underlord was doing, he was only walking in the forest with dozen other streamers, and it didn''t seem like they had a destination in mind.


    [Tyrant: @Wraith Delusional as ever, do you know what word Modest means or are you mistaking it as Shameless? Tsk tsk, anyway, Mister Streamer was doing a special quest and gathered his streamer friends to do it with him. It''s harmless Quest without any danger in it]


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac now understood why they seemed carefree and didn''t have any protection, but if it was him, he would be wearing at least armor; who knows if they get ambushed by yer or Wild Animal.


    He kept chatting for another minute until Underlord was finally done thanking.


    ''''Finally...'''' He once again concentrated on the stream and watched as Underlord and his friends reached an abandoned shack in the middle of the forest.


    While the rest of the streamers didn''t care about protecting themselves, Underlord was ready for battle at a moment''s notice.


    He told one of his friends to open the shack''s door, who didn''t question the order and opened it without any care in the world.


    The interior of the shack was obviously very shabby and dusty. The walls were wooden with cracks that was almost falling apart.


    The shack only had one wooden table with two wooden chairs. There wasn''t anything else, except a book in the middle of the table.


    Underlord peeked inside and scanned the interior for any traps, and once he didn''t see any, he was the only one who entered the shack, while others stayed behind outside.


    His watchers watched in silence, even chat quieted down as Underlord started nearing the book.


    Isaac leaned closer to theptop, and this is exactly what he loves about White Online. You never know what could happen.


    The book could be explosive that will kill him and everyone around. It could trigger a trap, or it is an ordinary book.


    Or a book which contains some Secret Art.


    The camera turned, which showed Underlord in his full glory. He was wearing robes that looked very nice in him. It was mostly in the color of ck with a shade of purple, and a tall cane was on his hand, which had some kind of pearl at the top.


    The pearl was in the color of purple, and it gave light to the dimly lit shack, which allowed Underlord to walk forwards unhindered.


    He reached the table, and slowly, he reached his hand to the book, and once his finger touched the cover, he was ready to use his life-saving skill at a moment''s notice, but once he touched it, nothing happened so far.


    He gained more confidence, and slowly but surely, he grabbed the book and started carrying it.


    Once the book left the table, nothing still happened, and Underlord decided to leave before the shack fell apart.


    He didn''t spend even a minute inside, and soon his friends sighed a relief after Underlord reappeared outside the shack.


    They gathered around him as he cleaned the dust off the cover, which revealed the book''s cover.


    They all frowned after realizing that the cover was missing letters.


    Underlord trailed his finger on the cover and noticed that there should be 6 letters, but there were only three.


    [-RE-U-]


    ''''Ah, I guess this Quest was another failure,'''' Underlord said and stored the book inside his Inventory; a slight sly smile appeared on his face, which was unnoticed by others.


    His friends nodded and didn''t think care about the old-looking book. They continued soon talking with each other and with their viewers.


    Isaac looked at the screen, and neither he nor the rest of the viewers got a good look at the book or the cover.


    He didn''t think much of the book and even chat seemed disappointed after wasting so much time on some useless Quest.


    He wrote final farewells to the chat and was about to close theptop, but then he saw Tyrant''s message.


    [Tyrant: @Wraith Are you nning to stream at any time soon? You could do well, especially if you are as good as in the other games, where you kicked my ass]


    Isaac''s hands stopped and kept looking at the message back and forth, his hands trembled as he was about to type, but then thoughts appeared on his mind.


    ''What if I make fun of myself... It would be way too embarrassing, but... Ahh!'' He scratched his head and started typing furiously.


    Soon, he pressed Enter, and after finally sending the message, he knew that there wasn''t a way to turn back anymore!


    [Wraith: @Tyrant Alright, tomorrow I will stream White Online]


    [Tyrant: Let''s gooo! I wille to watch and see how you look, hehehe *Drool Emoji*]


    [Sandy: Wraith is streaming?! At least his voice was very pleasant when he talked with us]


    [Showoff: Let''s fucking go! He was fucking beast at those arcade games. I have a hunch that he is some kind of Hidden Master]


    Another dozen messages, which tagged him appeared, and each one of them said that they woulde to watch his stream.


    Isaac closed theptop and felt his heart racing.


    ''''What did I sign up to?'''' He sighed and looked outside the window, ''''I wonder, will anyone elsee to watch....''''

 Chapter 161 - Isaac’s Courage.

    The following day.


    *Munch*


    A white-haired young man was munching on a sandwich while watching a TV not far from him. There were three other figures sitting in the living room and watching the TV.,


    They were Alice, Isabe, and Mark.


    The TV was showing a popr kids'' show, which was about a green-skinned alien who was traveling around the universe in hopes of finding other aliens like him.


    So far, he is the only green-skinned creature, and it seems that his race has gone extinct, but he doesn''t want to believe it and started his journey around the universe.


    Mark was watching the screen with great intensity while Isabe was reading a newspaper.


    Alice was pouting while taking glimpses at Isaac every now and then.


    Isaac was eating the sandwich while looking at the TV without changing expressions.


    Soon, footsteps appeared on the stairs, and once the footsteps reached the bottom of the stairs, the identity of the owner of the footsteps was revealed.


    Maxwell entered the living room with a business suit. His brown hair was nicely styled in a slick haircut, and a stack of papers was in his hands, which he was reading without looking ahead of him.


    ''''Are you guys ready?'''' Maxwell asked, but still, his eyes didn''t leave the papers as he continued, ''''If you are ready, wait in the car...'''' With those words, he went towards the kitchen.


    ''''Alright.'''' Isabe closed the newspaper and ruffled Mark''s hair, which earned a pout from him, ''''Mark, get dressed.''''


    ''''Sigh... Fineee...'''' Mark with irritated look left the living room, straight towards the hangers and shoe rack.


    ''''Alice.'''' Isabe said with a stern look, ''''Go get ready.''''


    ''''Hmph!'''' Alice stood up and stomped out of the living room, leaving only Isaac and Isabe behind.


    ''''Isaac, we didn''t see you yesterday, but I wanted to ask about something...'''' Isabe moved from another couch to the one Isaac was sitting on and sat next to him.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac turned his head and finished his sandwich.


    ''''Ah, it''s nothing important...'''' Isabe scratched her cheek and debated how she should say it.


    Isaac waited patiently.


    ''''I talked with your father yesterday, and...'''' She bit her lips and continued, ''''I am sorry if we made you ufortable with our overprotectiveness, but you have to understand... We couldn''t find the ones who attacked you, and you almost died.''''


    She gritted her teeth with absolute hate, but soon she regained herposure, ''''We couldn''t be sure if you get attacked again... I am sorry, but we couldn''t be sure before the bastards who hurt you is behind bars.'''' She tapped Isaac''s leg a couple of times with her trembling hand.


    Isaac tried to open his mouth, but no words came out. He knew the fear they had, even he was scared to exit his home for a quite long time and was even paranoid enough to think that he was being watched by the men in ski masks.


    But, he couldn''t let the fear decide what kind of person he was and... He killed his fears, which ended his fear once and for all.


    Now, only the revenge is left, and it will be soonpleted.


    ''''Thanks, mom...'''' He said with too many emotions in his tone, but the one that stood out was his confidence, ''''But, you don''t need to be afraid anymore... They aren''t a threat to me anymore.''''


    ''''What?'''' Isabe tilted her head and didn''tpletely understand what her son meant.


    Isaac smiled and didn''t make it clearer for her, ''''I appreciate your worry and Alice''s, but I will be fine, I am going to prove it to you.'''' He grabbed his mother''s hand and squeezed it powerfully before letting go and leaving the living room.


    Isabe looked surprised as she looked at her hand, which had a red handprint.


    ''''Since when he was that strong..?'''' She thought aloud and clenched her fist, which hid the red handprint.


    A small smile appeared on her face as she felt like Isaac had entered adulthood, and soon, she won''t be the one who needs to take care of him. Instead, his future wife will be the one who shares his burdens.


    ''''Sigh...'''' Her shoulders slumped, ''''They are growing up so quick...'''' Even though she felt saddened by the fact, still a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face, ''''Mark is still young, but maybe we should get a new baby?'''' She tapped her chin, and a sly smile appeared on her face.


    On the fourth floor.


    Isaac entered his room and took a glimpse of the wardrobe, and his heart instantly started racing. He had a hard time falling asleepst night because the thoughts of live streaming were reying in his mind.


    When he first found out about the live streaming aspect of the game, he thought he would get zero views, but apparently, there would be at least 10 who woulde to watch.


    Even though the amount is not that great, it still makes him nervous.


    *p*


    His two palms pped his cheeks, and the pain finally woke up from his useless thoughts.


    ''''So what if I don''t get any viewers... It can be fun¡ª let''s fucking do this!'''' He patted his chest a couple of times and went straight towards the wardrobe. He opened the doors and took the ck box from there, and soon afterwards, he sat down on his bed with an open box in front of him.


    He took out the headgear and gently wrapped it around his head, with a visor covering his eyes.


    *Bam*


    He dropped the box down, which only made a loud bam but didn''t make even a dent on the box, which was as expected.


    ''''Alright...'''' Isaac gathered his courage and lied down on the bed.


    With final head movements to put his head in a morefortable position, he was finally ready to enter White Online once again.


    *Tap*


    He tapped the button on the headgear, and soon the visor started having a row of words going back and forth, but he only focused on a few.


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Legacies Awaits You!]


    Isaac''s face became emotionless, and his body stopped moving as he entered the World of White.


    [Game: White Online - Status: Excellent]

 Chapter 162 - Start Of The Stream.

    Isaac took a short breath and opened his eyes, which showed the familiar ceiling. Slowly, he sat down on the bed with slow movements.


    ''''I didn''t really n how I should stream... Should I start here, or should I get to the forest, there I might have some stuff to do...'''' He scratched his head and was annoyed because all the useless thoughts kept invading his mind, but then he remembered one thing.


    [Legacy Tournament Commences in 0 Days 23 hour 47 minutes]


    [Contenders: 78]


    ''''Less than 1 day...'''' Isaac nced at the clock and printed it in his mind. He already had ns of entering the game half an hour before the tournament started.


    He swiped his hand, which removed the text in front of him, and he focused on the task ahead.


    ''''Fuck it... I will just start streaming after I am done reading rules and done learning how live streaming works.'''' After deciding what he would be doing, he cracked his knuckles and left his room.


    First of all, he would be checking out if Be was still in the house; if she was, he would Livestream somewhere else.


    After reaching the living room, he didn''t see her there or in the kitchen, which means she most likely has left.


    She could still be in her room; that''s why he went to check the shoe racks and didn''t see Be''s shoes anywhere, which concluded his investigation.


    He sat down on a soft chair in the living room and said his words aloud, ''''Interface.''''


    The holographic screen appeared in front of him.


    He ignored everything else, except [Help]


    [Livestreaming: Say ''''Livestream Online'''', a screen will show up, and you can choose which website you want to stream from]


    This was the first thing he saw when he entered the Livestreaming section.


    He turned his body halfway and looked outside the window, but no sign of Be. He wanted to make sure she didn''t appear suddenly; it would be a bad start for the stream.


    ''''Alright... Whew...'''' He cracked his neck a couple of times, which made an almost audible sound, ''''Livestream Online!'''' After he said those words, he waited.


    It didn''t take even a second for another holographic screen to appear, which was in the color of red!


    ''''Red...'''' Isaac moved the holographic screen to the side and also opened the Help screen.


    Two holographic screens were floating right in front of him, another one being in the color of red and the other in blue.


    [Livestreaming: If the screen is in the color of red, it means you are not streaming, once it turns green, it means you are, and everyone will be able to watch your stream after deciding which website you want to stream in]


    ''''Alright...'''' He turned his head back to the red screen.


    [Livestream Screen]


    [Start]


    [Settings]


    [End]


    First, he pressed [Settings], and dozens of different options popped up. He also saw a miniature version of his Interface, and he can choose which ones are invisible to the viewers.


    Without further ado, he started hiding which stats and skills is invisible.

    Isaac wryly smiled after almost hiding everything except Charm. He didn''t see any reason to hide it, but others were needed and especially his skills.


    His skills can easily tell what they do, and it''s not like Underlord''s Desperate Prayer, which is apletely unknown skill, and no one really knows what it does.


    After he was done, he exited [Settings], and his finger was only an inch away from touching the [Start] button.


    Drops of sweat appeared on his forehead as he started regretting his impulsive decisions, but there was no backing out!


    He also wasn''t as fearful as he thought. Instead, his heart was beating rapidly because of excitement!


    ''''Let''s do this.'''' After finally making up his mind, he pressed the [Start] button, and instantly another set of letters appeared.

    It was a clear choice for Isaac.


    He pressed [StreamKing] without a second thought, and the next phase was logging in.


    A holographic keyboard appeared in front of him, which he used to type his nickname and password.


    After he was done, a loading symbol appeared on the screen, and soon, it was done loading, and once again, he returned to the beginning screen.


    [Start]


    [Settings]

    It was the final phase before he entered the vast world of live streaming. He already has gathered his courage, and all useless thoughts have disappeared from his mind.


    Only one thing was remaining.


    Pressing the start button.


    Isaac''s finger started approaching the start button, and slowly, but surely, the fingertip was the first one that touched the button, but it was enough.


    After he touched the button, the red screen changed colors and turned pure green, simr to light green.


    [Livestream Online!]


    [Viewers: 0]


    The holographic screen showed the view count and also the chat on the right side, but the most noticeable thing was a live feed, which showed a white-haired young man looking at a holographic screen.


    Isaac turned his head towards the ceiling and saw a small camera flying above him, recording everything he was doing.


    ''''How can I move it...'''' Isaac pondered, but then at the back of his mind, he had a feeling that the camera would listen to his thoughts.


    ''Move down...'' He thought and hoped that it would work, and soon his eyes widened after the camera started descending, stopping at the same height where his head was.


    Isaac turned his head back to the holographic screen, and now it was much better than before, showing his features perfectly and even showing the house''s interior.


    A small smile appeared on his face after he was done with his preparations; now, only the live streaming is left.


    Seeing the view count being 0 didn''t surprise him, and didn''t expect it to change anytime soon, but... His expectations were soon broken.

 Chapter 163 - Divinity.

    Somewhere in Wintend.


    A small two-floor building, surrounded by a white wooden fence. It was located in an ordinary neighborhood, which wasn''t either too wealthy or poor.


    The two-floor building wasn''t anything special, but currently, there was a young man in his 18s with ck hair sitting in front of an expensive-looking PC, with a 144hz monitor and powerful soundingputer.


    He was currently scrolling through a website, which was very familiar-looking with a logo of StreamKing at the top.


    Currently, there was nothing to watch, except some early birds who started streaming early, but he got bored in only a minute by watching.


    Those streams mostly rely on their looks to survive on the battlefield called StreamKing, and some might buy their act, but this young man can clearly see through each one of them and can tell with a nce the personality of the streamers.


    ''''Money-hungry fuckers...'''' He rubbed his forehead with annoyance, and since he didn''t have anything else to do because his VR Helmet that he ordered would only arrive tomorrow after ordering it only a minute toote.


    The VR Helmets got sold out faster than he could have ever imagined, and that''s why he had to wait for someone to sell their own VR Helmets, but to his surprise, no one wanted to sell their own.


    But with a streak of luck, he found someone selling Bronze VR Helmet because that person was wealthy enough to buy a better version and didn''t have any use for Bronze one and decided to sell it.


    It was more expensive as well because the seller knew that it was in high demand.


    This young man had to live the rest of the month with a cup of noodles, but he thought it was worth it.


    After not finding anything on the top streamer list, he decided to enter a dark abyss, which he never have looked at before.


    New Streamer section.


    He doesn''t like to watch new streamers because their ipetence annoys him greatly, but there could be hidden gems, which are ignored by many because their looks aren''t either at par with others, and their gaming skills might not be anything spectacr.


    But, they can still be very entertaining, but that is rare in cases, and many get depressed after their streaming career just won''t start picking up.


    He felt saddened that one of his favorite streamers of all time stopped streaming after getting hatefulments about his looks, even though he was very entertaining and kind, not doing it for money, but instead because he enjoyed it.


    He felt like killing them whoever insulted him, and this young man saw some of their nametags hanging around streams which uses their looks to make their earnings. They are literally drooling and throwing their money at them, even though they are obviously acting.


    *Tap* *Tap*


    After double-clicking the mouse, the screen showed the New Streamer section, with most of them having 0 views and some 1, but he saw one of them having 2 viewers and decided to check it out, but before managing to do that.


    Another stream popped up on top of the list, and it intriqued him after seeing the thumbnail of the stream.


    It showed a figure who was looking at the interface; only a side of the face was visible, but it was extremely delicate-looking, and the young man instantly felt his heart starting to beat faster and clicked the streamer''s info.


    [Gender: Male]


    ''''Pah!'''' His eyes bulged out of his skulls as he leaned closer to the screen and moved his head back and forth.


    First, he looked at the thumbnail and then at the gender.


    ''''Male, what the fuck?!'''' He didn''t believe it one bit and double-clicked the thumbnail, which took him to the stream.


    He increased the volume from his headset and locked his hands with a concentrated look.


    The young man at first saw the white-haired individual''s face turning shocked after seeing the view count, and it made even certain to him that this new streamer can''t be male!


    Cute would be an understatement if describing this white-haired individual''s looks.


    ''''If he is really male... This is a streamer I can see seeding...'''' He started typing on the keyboard, with only thought ringing in his mind.


    ''Unique... Even if he was a female, those looks could take him to top, but if this is another money-hungry streamer...'' He wanted to know what kind of streamer this Wraith is.


    He pressed enter, and the first ever message on the chat popped up.


    [Divinity: Are you really a male? I am not buying it!]


    This time, he looked curiously at the bodynguage of the white-haired individual and saw his face bing surprised until a chuckle escaped his mouth.


    ''''I am a male, sorry to disappoint you.'''' The young man widened his eyes in shock after hearing the pleasant voice tickling his eardrums, and he was certain that the voice belonged to a male!


    Sometimes, he feels annoyed wearing headsets because some of the streamers have a coarse voice or very annoying one, mostly among top streamers, that''s why his ears usually feel irritated, but this time, he could listen to that voice for hours without end.


    A small smile appeared on his face after hearing Wraith''s answer, which was filled with sarcasm.


    ''''Hmm, let''s see what he answers to this.'''' With a crack of his knuckles, he started typing once more.


    [Divinity: Proof it]


    ''''Heh.'''' He, of course, said it as a joke, and he wanted to know what his response would be.


    ''''Proof it?'''' The white-haired young man on the screen tilted his head, which showed his facial features even better, especially the ears that were hidden underneath the white hair.


    Divinity waited in silence and saw the white-haired young man rubbing his chin before replying.


    ''''Fine.'''' His answer surprised Divinity and was about to stop him from doing anything rash before getting banned, but he did something unexpected.


    The camera moved closer towards the face of the white-haired young man, and once it was almost touching the nose, he raised his head slightly so that his throat was the only thing visible.


    Divinity narrowed his eyes and wondered what was the meaning of this.


    ''''Only males have an adam''s apple, which should prove my gender, correct?'''' The white-haired young man said with a sly smirk, ''''Some females have it, but it is almost unnoticeable, and those who have bigger ones are very rare, so it should be enough of proof?''''


    Divinity indeed saw the adam''s apple moving with each movement of the mouth and knew that the white-haired young man was speaking the truth, but he was stubborn and wanted to have some fun.


    [Divinity: That doesn''t prove anything!!]


    ''''Hah.'''' Out of nowhere, the white-haired young manughed and moved the camera further away, ''''That''s the only proof you will get.''''


    ''''Pah!'''' Divinity waved his hand and acted like he was annoyed, but he was actually amused and decided to keep watching to see what kind of stream this would end up being.

 Chapter 164 - The Game Lord’s Mysteries.

    Isaac moved the camera further away after ''prooving'' his gender. His face had an amused smile, and he finally got rid of his initial nervousness and decided to start doing something worthwhile.


    With a swipe of his hand, the Help screen disappeared, only leaving behind the streaming screen and the camera.


    ''''Excuse me, I am quite new, so I will fix this...'''' He talked to his only viewer and started making the streamer screen smaller until only the smaller version of the chat was left. The big screen would have greatly limited his vision.


    He moved the chat screen next to the camera and made the two items connected. The screen will now follow the movements of the camera, it was another thing mentioned in the help manual.


    After he was done, he only needed to look at the camera to see the chat, and with his great eyesight, it was not a problem.


    [Divinity: What are you going to do?]


    Seeing the message, he shrugged and asked, ''''What do the streamers usually do?''''


    He stood up, and without waiting for the answer, he left the house through the front door and started walking in the streets.


    There were once again neighbors talking with each other, and some were walking towards the gates of the neighborhood like him.


    ''''Good morning, young man.'''' Isaac slowly turned his head towards the voice and saw a middle-aged woman walking while holding the hand of a little girl, they were walking towards a three-floor building.


    The little girl had ck hair styled in a pigtail, and her tiny body had a summer dress with an ice cream cone in her left hand.


    The middle-aged woman smiled gently as she greeted the young man who moved in just recently. His armory and unusual outfit at first intimidated many after he first moved, but talking with Be, they knew that the young man was a good person.


    From far away, they couldn''t properly see his face at first, and when he was wearing the armory, it didn''t make him look that good.


    But now, the little girl''s eyes sparkled as she saw the young man''s grey eyes turning towards her with a small smile painted on his face.


    ''''Good morning,'''' Isaac replied with a slight nod and received a gentle smile as a result from the middle-aged man, and when she was about to continue her walk, she saw her daughter not moving an inch as her gaze was locked at the retreating back of the young man.


    ''''You are too young for boys!'''' She said sternly and started carrying her daughter.


    ''''Moooom!'''' She pouted and couldn''t do anything against her mother, who had a strength of thousand men when ites to keeping her daughter away from boys.


    During his walk, Isaac received several more greetings, which he returned with politeness, and soon he reached the gates.


    The Guards didn''t bat an eye as he left.


    Isaac then remembered about his question towards his viewer and nced at the chat.


    Divinity had replied.


    [Divinity: Usually they do Quests or Grind XP, usual stuff]


    ''''Hmm, sounds boring.'''' Isaac sighed and knew that he was behind others in terms of levels and should start catching up, but he doesn''t feel like doing that for a whole day, and it will end up being snoozefest of a stream.


    [Divinity: It is]


    ''''Yeah... Fuck that.'''' Isaac cursed out of habit and quickly covered his mouth as he asked, ''''I didn''t read rules beforehand, is cursing allowed? If not, then fuck... Oops.'''' He facepalmed.


    [Divinity: Rate your stream as R-18, then it is allowed]


    ''''Right.'''' He went through options again and saw the options, which let him rate his stream, and without further ado, he chose R-18.


    ''''Thanks for the assistance,'''' Isaac said with a smirk, which was caught by the camera.


    [Divinity: No problem, make a mod as thank you]


    Isaac rolled his eyes, ''''Shameless.'''' Even though it was an obvious joke, he pressed Divinity''s name and gave him moderator privileges.


    ''''Don''t be dick head.'''' He reminded his only viewer.


    [Divinity (Mod): Aye!]


    While talking back and forth, Isaac finally reached the more busy side of a City.


    Streets were bustling, with NPCs and yers walking, making the ce very crowded.


    Isaac walked on the right side of the street and managed to move somewhat unhindered, but not wholly, as he had to walk past different kinds of stores, which had customers leaving and entering the building.


    After walking past several stores, he came to a sight that intrigued him. There was a line of yers entering a store, which didn''t look anything special.


    The store had two floors with walls made of brick and windows that could barely let anyone see inside the building. It wasn''t very well washed and it was like someone painted the windows with dirt.


    [Divinity (Mod): That seems interesting]


    ''''Indeed it does...'''' Isaac looked back and forth in two different directions, and after making sure that he won''t get run over a carriage, he ran past the road and entered another sidewalk, which led straight towards the crowded building.


    He stopped at the final spot in the line and decided to ask a yer in front of him what was going on.


    ''''Excuse me?'''' Isaac leaned closer and whispered.


    The yer in front of him turned his head and raised an eyebrow after an unknown person was calling out to him.


    ''''What?'''' At first, he looked annoyed at being talked at, but then he saw a camera floating, and his attitude had 180 turn as he smiled and asked, ''''What is it? May I help you?''''


    He doesn''t know if the white-haired young man is a famous streamer or not, but he doesn''t want to risk it and gather hate around him.


    Isaac raised an eyebrow after a surprising change of attitude.


    [Divinity (Mod): Pfft]


    ''''What is happening here?'''' He asked as he heard soundsing inside but didn''t know what it meant.


    ''''There is currently apetition going on.'''' The yer replied and pointed at the sign at the top of the building, which said [The Game Lord''s Mysteries]


    ''''The Game Lord''s Mysteries?'''' Isaac repeated, and his brows furrowed as he wondered what kind of games there would be.


    ''''Mm, there is apetition going, and every yer has only one chance, no second tries..'''' The yer looked excited as he looked inside the building, towards the two doors that went past the front desk, each door had one line of yers, and always, two yers entered at the same time, and what happens inside ispletely unknown.

 Chapter 165 - Increase Of Viewers.

    [Viewers: 2]


    Isaac, while waiting in the line, noticed the view count increasing by one.


    [Tyrant: I am here!]


    ''''Oh.'''' A small smile appeared on Isaac''s face as he moved the camera better to capture his looks, ''''Wee Tyrant to my humble stream.''''


    [Divinity (Mod): Wee wee]


    [Tyrant: What the fuck is with your looks?!]


    Isaac chuckled and noticed the yer in front of him taking a step forwards. He also took a step forwards, and he was already in the doorway of the building, the line bing shorter and shorter.


    [Tyrant: I am so fucking jealous...]


    ''''Pah, I am jealous of you.'''' Isaac clicked his tongue, ''''Muscr bastard.'''' He has seen Tyrant''s picture and was incredibly jealous of his muscr and athletic body stature.


    ''''One day...'''' He touched at his frail-looking arms and felt the slight sensation of muscles hiding.


    [Tyrant: What are you doing currently?]


    Isaac controlled the camera and turned it around to capture the building''s sign, which told everything needed.


    [Tyrant: Game Lord''s Mysteries? Never heard of it]


    ''''It''s some kind ofpetition, and it sounded fun,'''' Isaac said and controlled the camera to look at him instead.


    The line once again moved, and Isaac could finally enter the building.


    Looking around the building, he saw bookshelves with prize tags and some kind of stacks of cards. The stacks of cards were located inside a closed ss dome, with a silver lock keeping it closed.


    The cards looked somewhat new, with some signs of being worn out. Isaac saw the symbols on the cards but didn''t recognize them, and at first, he thought they were some kind of gaming cards, but after a second look, he scratched that idea.


    The rest of the building looked ancient, but it has been kept clean, with no sign of dust anywhere. It lookedpletely different from what he expected after seeing the dirty windows.


    A wooden stairway was on the left side of the building, leading straight to the second floor. He couldn''t see anything on the second floor because there was a wall on the way, blocking the sight.


    On top of the front desk. There was once again a sign, but this time, a different one.


    The sign was wooden and was nailed on the wall, with a bookshelf below, which was filled with all sorts of books.


    Isaac looked at the sign and read it aloud while the camera was pointing straight at the sign so that his viewers could see it.


    ''''Two is one, and one is two. Assist or solo, decide, both choices can lead to victory.'''' Isaac rubbed his chin which was void of any hair.


    Most of the yers in front of himpletely ignored the sign, they were too focused on being nervous about their uing turn.


    In front of the desk. There was another smaller sign, but this time it only had arrows and words [Split]


    Everyone understood the meaning instantly.


    Isaac saw a person entering the left line, while the person after him entered the right line.


    It kept going back and forth until it was Isaac''s turn to go to the right line.


    The yer in front of him went to the left line.


    Isaac moved to the right line and took a glimpse of the front desk, which was the only ce in the building that wasn''t clean. Ayer of dust was on top of the desk, which was very noticeable if you even looked in the direction of the front desk.


    [Viewers: 3]


    He was too concentrated on looking at any clues that made him miss a new viewer.


    Also, the chat started moving, with new messages pouring in.


    *Creak*


    A yer in front of him entered the room through the door, and Isaac tried to see inside but only saw the darkness before the door was shut closed.


    He took a step forwards and tried to twist the doorknob, but it didn''t work, which made him give up and wait patiently for his turn.


    Nothing else to do; he checked the chat and was surprised to see way more messages than previously, which caused him to look at the viewer count.


    [Viewers: 8]


    ''''What the...'''' His eyes widened, and his heart started beating rapidly as some nervousness crept in.


    ''''Whew...'''' Taking quick and long breaths, like he is used to doing when firing his weapons, his nervousness started disappearing.


    [Tornado: He is actually a male? What the hell have they fed him...]


    [Divinity (Mod): Mmm, our Wraith is a unique being]


    Isaac scratched his cheek and saw more messages popping out, filled with disbelief and shock.


    ''''Anyway... Wee.'''' His pleasant voice made them even more shocked. Him talking to himself didn''t look weird to other yers after noticing the camera flying above him.


    [Viewers: 10]


    Isaac didn''t expect the view count to increase at such speed, which made him both happy and excited about possibilities.


    All new people in the chat had nametags he had never seen before. He knew that there should be around 10, at least if they all have time toe to watch.


    ''Maybe I will reach 20 viewers.'' He thought to himself.


    After getting distracted by the chat, a movement started happening in front of him.


    The door became ajar like it was calling him to enter the room.


    Isaac heard the slight creaking sound and noticed iting from the door, which was currently open!


    He and his viewers started getting excited about the things hidden in the room.


    Most of the viewers now know what is happening after Divinity exined patiently.


    With a push, the door was opened wide, but he and the other yers couldn''t see anything but darkness.


    *Bam*


    Isaac perked up his ears and heard the other door closing from the left side, which was a signal for him to enter as well.


    He took one big stride towards the room, and once his body was fully inside, covered in the vast darkness, the door was mmed shut.


    The camera was still circling around him, but even the viewers couldn''t see anything in the darkness.

 Chapter 166 - Two Is One. One Is Two.

    [Tyrant: Hmm, this ce seems suspicious. Maybe it''s those trap rooms that kill the yers instantly?]


    [Divinity (Mod): No, that''s basically murder if NPCmits it. There is no way such shady ce is right in the center of Stronglord]


    [LawCat: Maybe he has to find a way out of the room without seeing what is inside the room?]


    Isaac took a glimpse of the chat and started pondering about the possibilities.


    But soon, in the ceiling of the room. A lightbulb started flickering, causing short moments when the dark room wasn''t so dark anymore.


    Isaac quickly looked around the room while the light was still on and widened his eyes in shock.


    His viewers also noticed it, and it wasn''t what they expected.


    The light once again disappeared before turning back on, and this time, the light didn''t go out.


    In the room, there was a simple wooden desk with a man sitting right in front of it. He had a monocle in his right eye with a tophat. He looked like a proper gentleman with his ck suit, necktie, and a ck trenchcoat.


    On the other side of the desk, there were two chairs.


    Isaac turned his head to the left side of the room and saw another yer standing right in front of the other door.


    The room was simple with four corners, ordinary white walls, the lightbulb hanging from the ceiling, and the wooden desk with three different chairs.


    Isaac and the other yer locked gazes before turning their heads in unison towards the unknown man.


    Both of them looked above the head, where a floating nametag was.


    [Lucius]


    ''''Wee, contenders,'''' Lucius said with his professional and calm voice. He took off his tophat and did a polite bow before putting it back on its previous spot.


    ''''Sit down.'''' He said and pointed at the chairs; also, at the same motion, he grabbed something below the desk.


    [Ormond]


    Isaac and the other yer, called Ormond, sat down on the chairs; they kept a distance between themselves because they were aware that only one could win.


    Lucius revealed the item he had grabbed. It was a stack of white-colored cards with something written behind, but Lucius quickly hid whatever they were saying, and with gentle motion, he put the card deck down to the desk.


    *Tap*


    He started tapping the wooden desk and moved his head back and forth, looking at both Isaac and Ormond before gently pping his hands.


    *p*


    ''''Alright.'''' He stopped pping and touched the top of the card deck, ''''This is the first test. Two is one, and one is two. Assist or solo, decide, both choices can lead to victory.''''


    Ormond frowned and wondered what it meant.


    Isaac, on the other hand, widened his eyes in shock.


    [Divinity (Mod): He repeated the same words as the sign said! It must be a clue!]


    [Tornado: Does Wraith know?]


    [Tyrant: Yup, he got this. He has always been smarter than his peers. This will be a piece of cake]


    Lucius smiled and took the first card from the desk. He put the card right in front of his eyes without letting the camera or anyone else see it.


    ''''First Question.'''' Lucius said calmly, and once he saw that Isaac and Ormond were listening, he continued, ''''How do you log out of the game if you aren''t allowed to open your Interface, wait till your time limit is over, or have anyone help you?''''


    Ormond went into a thinking posture and started repeating those words over and over.


    Isaac, on the other hand... Replied, ''''By suicide.''''


    ''''Ding, ding.'''' Lucius threw the card away to the garbage can and smiled with approval, ''''Correct!''''


    ''''Damn...'''' Ormond pped his thigh and felt dumb.


    [Divinity (Mod): Easyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!]


    [Tyrant: Easy dub]


    [Porvelio: Nice]


    [Tornado: Booom!]


    Isaac smiled slightly and waited for Lucius to continue asking questions.


    Lucius grabbed the second card and started reading the question aloud, ''''Second Question. Sky, ocean, ornd. Which one of those three is impossible to visit in Stronglord Empire?''''


    ''''Sky!'''' Ormond instantly replied with a confident expression.


    ''''Ocean!'''' Isaac shouted with a simr confident expression.


    Ormond snorted and was sure that he was wrong; even Isaac''s viewers weren''t so sure about the answer.


    Lucius smiled and threw the card away, which perfectlynded on the garbage can.


    ''''Ocean is the correct answer.''''


    ''''What?!'''' Ormond eximed and stood up with anger, ''''How the hell sky isn''t correct?!''''


    Isaac smiled and crossed his arms, ''Thanks, Tristan.'' He remembered Tristan saying that Stronglord Empire doesn''t have oceans.


    Some of therger Empire has one.


    Ormond mistook the ocean as the sea, which was a mistake on his part.


    [Divinity (Mod): Whew, nice one, I have no idea how you knew]


    [Tyrant: Even I didn''t know about that, and I have read books about Stronglord Empire]


    ''''Third Question.'''' Lucius grabbed the third card and smiled after seeing Ormond fuming, very desperate to get the next one correct, while Isaac was calm as ever.


    ''''Two is one, and one is two. Assist or solo, decide, both choices can lead to victory, the answer lies near dust.''''


    Ormond rubbed his forehead and anxiously tapped the desk with his mind running.


    Isaac crossed his arms and leaned on the chair, ignoring the chat, who was definitely trying to guess.


    [LawCat: Two is one... Is this a trick question, and it''s actually a math question? Maybe the answer is three?]


    [Lynch: There is also one is two. Maybe it''s 3+3, and it''s 6? Or maybe 2+1, which is 3 and then 1-2, which makes the score 0]


    [Divinity (Mod): What about Assist or solo, decide, both choices can lead to a victory?]


    [Tyrant: Maybe a trap and it actually doesn''t mean anything, or maybe both 3 and 0 is correct because it says that both choices can lead to a victory]


    [Divinity (Mod): Assist or solo... Maybe Wraith and Ormond can work together or y solo and try to eliminate the other contestant?]


    [Tornado: The answer lies near dust, what does that mean?]


    Lucius leaned on the chair and waited patiently with a small smile painted on his attractive face.


    He moved his feet back and forth with rhythmic motion while a song was ying on his mind.

 Chapter 167 - Solo.

    ''Two is one, and one is two. Assist or solo, decide, both choices can lead to victory, the answer lies near dust.'' Isaac repeated the question in his mind.


    ''The answer lies near dust...'' After repeating it a couple more times, he widened his eyes with a m.


    ''All words are useless, except dust... Dust...'' He remembered that the front desk was covered in dust, but what could be the answer to the question.


    ''Lies near dust...'' Isaac scratched the back of his head and wondered what it meant.


    He knows that he is one step closer to finding out the answer, but he didn''t understand the proper meaning.


    ''Did I miss a clue?'' He started having thoughts about missing to notice a vital part, but he was certain that he didn''t see anything out of the ordinary.


    ''''Answer is 3!'''' Out of nowhere, Ormond stood up in a hurry and screamed the answer with a pale face.


    ''''Oh?'''' Lucius raised an eyebrow and stopped humming the song, ''''Can you tell me the thought process to get that answer? I won''t reveal is it correct or not before this other fe gives his answer.''''


    Ormond nodded shakily and said, ''''Two is one, which doesn''t seem to be a metaphor and instead actually is only one, while one is two, is actually two. Now, the second part is to find out why the one and two are separated, and the answer lies in the second part of the question.'''' He took a pause and caught his breathing.


    Lucius waited patiently with a small smile on his face.


    Ormond soon continued, ''''Assist or solo, decide, both choices can lead to victory. I think 1, 2, and 3 are correct answers.'''' After finishing, he stopped talking and looked at Lucius'' facial features, which had a small smile.


    He had a sparkling hope that he actually guessed right!


    A small smug smile appeared on his face, and he turned his head to look at Isaac with disdain.


    ''''Interesting theory.'''' Lucius didn''t say anything else and leaned on the chair, waiting for Isaac to give his answer.


    Ormond smiled and nodded; he sat down on the seat with a much more rxed expression.


    Isaac''s chat was panicking.


    [Divinity (Mod): That smug bastard! GRRRRR!]


    [Tyrant: Lucky guess, probably not even correct]


    [Lynch: Lucius seemed to be impressed, this is bad, and when I heard his theory, it sounded valid]


    [Sandy: I am here! Sorry I waste, what is happening?]


    While the chat was getting busier with each minute, Isaac was stuck in his thoughts.


    ''Answer lies near dust... There was the sign with words, but also... There was another smaller sign!'' He widened his eyes and remembered the arrows and word Split.


    ''Split... That must be a clue.'' Isaac rubbed his forehead, ''Split... Split what?''


    He doesn''t think that it only meant to split the line, because why only one word?


    Isaac felt that it was weird that there was only one word, and after he thought about it more, the arrows seemed to point at the two other lines, but they were actually pointing slightly downwards, straight towards the word Split!


    ''Split... Maybe.'' Isaac''s mind was running, and once again thought about the question.


    ''Assist or solo...'' He took a glimpse of smug-looking Ormond, and a small smirk appeared on his face, ''This was always meant to be yed as a solo... That''s why the reason for the first test is to split the two yers as loser and winner...''


    He looked at the other side of the room and almostughed after not seeing it before.


    The doors where they came from had words above.


    The door where Isaac came had word [Victory]


    The door where Ormond came had word [Loser]


    ''Both choices can lead to victory...'' Isaac was certain and turned his head around and noticed Lucius'' smiling face.


    ''If I choose to say assist... Ormond will be victorious, but if I choose solo, I will be victorious... Both choices can lead to victory.'' A noticeable smile appeared on his face.


    ''''Your answer is?'''' Lucius asked with a knowing smile.


    Ormond looked at Isaac and snorted.


    ''''Solo,'''' Isaac said and looked straight at Ormond with a smile on his face.


    Ormond almostughed, but then Lucius spoke.


    ''''Correct. yer Wraith is victorious, congrattions.'''' He said and started pping.


    ''''What?!'''' Ormond exploded into a rage, and an axe appeared on his hand, which he aimed at Lucius, ''''This is bullshit!''''


    ''''Haaahhh...'''' Lucius shook his head and threw the card at Ormond, ''''Two is one.''''


    *Stab*


    ''''U-Uhh...'''' Ormond muttered some inaudible words as he staggered backward with a white-colored card stuck on his forehead!


    Isaac widened his eyes, and his chat became silent.


    [DEAD]


    A word started floating above Ormond''s head as he turned into pixels.


    ''''And... One is two.'''' Lucius jumped over the desk and sat down on the chair where Ormond was sitting an only moment ago.


    ''''Shall we y a game?'''' He started shuffling the white cards with a small smile on his face.


    ''''What are you doing here, Lo¡ª'''' Before Isaac could finish his words after recognizing the identity of the person.


    Lucius quickly covered his mouth and leaned closer with a wink of his eye, ''''Shhh... We aren''t alone, remember?'''' He pointed sneakily at the camera, which shocked Isaac.


    ''''You can see it?'''' Isaac asked with disbelief.


    Lucius snorted and leaned back, ''''I am not blind!''''


    Isaac wryly smiled and didn''t know that the NPCs could see the streaming cameras, because so far, none of the NPCs seemed to be surprised to see the cameras flying.


    Lucius snapped his fingers.


    [Stream is paused!]


    Isaac widened his eyes after a sudden notification appeared in front of him.


    ''''Now, we can talk freely.'''' Lucius smiled, and suddenly, his body started changing.


    The handsome gentleman became a skinny youth with ck hair and long bangs, which covered his left eye.


    [Loki - God of Mischief]


    ''''I am very hurt,'''' Loki said with a pained face.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac tilted his head.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Loki humphed and averted his gaze, ''''I told you to sell the statue, but you listened to Artemis and not me. I thought we were best gaming buddies, hmph.'''' A pout appeared on his face, and looked to be genuinely hurt.


    Isaac sweatdropped.


    ''''Anyway!'''' Loki had a 180-degree turn, and a silly grin appeared on his face, ''''Wee to my store. Game Lord''s Mysteries, but also known as Game Loki''s Mysteries!''''

 Chapter 168 - Two Worlds Connected?

    ''''This building is owned by you?'''' Isaac asked for confirmation.


    Loki nodded and stood up to stand on top of the chair, ''''This is indeed a building owned by me!''''


    ''''Are there other gods who also have their own buildings?'''' Isaac asked a question, which he really wanted to be answered.


    ''''Not that many,'''' Loki said and jumped off the chair. He grabbed the axe, which was lying on the floor, and his face became serious as he shouted, ''''I am Thor, God of Thunder and Stupidity, I am gonna beat you up, brother!'''' After those words, he threw the axe towards the nearby wall.


    Once the axe and wall collided, something unexpected happened.


    The axe''s de cracked, and only the handle was left as the pieces of broken de littered the ground.


    Isaac raised an eyebrow, ''''Thor?''''


    ''''Heh.'''' Loki puffed his chest, ''''How was my imitation of him?''''


    ''''Uhh...'''' Isaac''s eyebrow twitched after seeing Loki''s yful antics. ''''I don''t know... Never met him.''''


    Loki nodded, ''''Lucky you, I wish I never met him too, he is always so bossy.'''' He clicked his tongue after remembering his brother.


    ''''Right...'''' Isaac rubbed his forehead and nced at the chat. He saw everyone asking about what was happening.


    ''''Well... This was fun, but I need to go.'''' He said and stood up from the chair.


    ''''Right.'''' Loki nodded and shuffled the cards in his hand before continuing, ''''I wonder who would be the victor if we yed a game?''''


    ''''Not sure...'''' Isaac replied with a wry smile, ''I don''t even want to find out.''


    ''''Anyway,e visit if you are bored!'''' Loki shouted, but then he remembered something, ''''Ah right! You deserve a reward.'''' He once again went to the desk before sitting down on his seat with a professional look.


    ''''Reward?'''' Isaac was curious about what he will be getting.


    Loki raised one finger, ''''One question. You can ask me anything, and I will have to answer truthfully.''''


    ''''Didn''t I already ask you a question?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''That was for free, and this was also for free.'''' Loki smugly smiled; if he was slightly more shameless, he would count that as the question, ''''I am so kind towards you, aren''t I?''''


    ''''I guess...'''' Isaac resisted rolling his eyes and started pondering what kind of question he should be asking.


    Loki stuffed the cards inside the desk and leaned on the chair with a few yawns escaping his mouth.


    Isaac sat back down on the chair and locked his hands together, with multiple questions on his mind, but he wanted to know something that is not public knowledge and something that he couldn''t find with some research.


    But then, a question appeared on his mind that made all other questions disappear.


    It was a question that had been haunting him for a few days now, a question that he wanted the answer desperately.


    ''If I ask the question... Would it be a waste...'' Isaac lowered his head and kept shaking his head, thinking that it was a stupid question, but he wanted the answer!


    ''Doesn''t matter is it a waste... I need the answer!'' His hands looked restless as he wanted the answer to this specific question!


    Loki rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned to look at Isaac, who was looking straight at him.


    ''''What?'''' He shook off his sleepiness and asked.


    ''''I have my question ready,'''' Isaac said with a confident expression.


    ''''Go ahead.'''' Loki said and waved his hand, ''''I will answer it.''''


    ''''Is World of White and World of Four Seasons connected?'''' After the words left his mouth, a silence ensued.


    Loki''s sleepy face disappeared, and a more severe look appeared, ''''What kind of silly question is this? Your imagination is indeed wild.'''' He once again leaned on the chair. Simrly, a few yawns escaped his mouth.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes, ''''So... You know what World of Four Seasons is?''''


    Loki looked startled, before coughing, ''''Ahem... I have been programmed to know everything¡ª I am God after all.'''' He averted his gaze with sweatdrops about to start trickling down his face.


    ''''I thought you were supposed to give a trustworthy answer?'''' Isaac gritted his teeth.


    ''''Alright.'''' Loki said and chuckled, ''''They aren''t connected¡ª that would be crazy!''''


    Isaac narrowed his eyes, ''''Is that the... Truth?''''


    ''''Of course.'''' Loki waved his hand and innocently tried to change the topic, ''''Alright, that was your reward¡ª when you leave, can you tell everyone to get out of my building?''''


    Isaac grabbed the armrest tightly before standing up and slowly starting to walk towards the door, but before reaching it.


    He stopped.


    Loki was using his napkin to wipe his sweat and became pale after seeing Isaac stopping.


    Isaac turned his body halfway and asked, ''''You know you are programmed?''''


    Loki chuckled and nodded, ''''Yes, Arthur programmed me and everyone else.''''


    ''''Arthur...'''' Isaac murmured and frowned, ''''Arthur programmed you guys to know that he is the one who did that? Sounds suspicious.''''


    ''''Ah...'''' Loki raised his finger, but no words came out.


    Cold sweat poured down his back as he felt foolish.


    Isaac turned his head to look at the door, which caused Loki to heave a sigh of relief.


    But soon, Isaac had a smirk, and he went into a praying posture.


    ''''U-Uhh, what are you doing?'''' Loki gulped and grabbed a white-colored card from the desk.


    ''''I heard that Gods will be listening to the prayers, I might as well give it a try.'''' Isaac turned his head to look at the ceiling, ''''Oh, God of Thunder. Your brother is being mischievous again. Can youe here to spank him?''''


    ''''No!'''' Loki screamed and threw the card towards Isaac with such speed that it caused a sonic boom.


    Out of nowhere, an earthquake appeared around Stronglord, causing havoc and destruction everywhere.


    *BAM!*


    While the card was flying and it seemed to hit Isaac without any problems.


    Loki''s eyes widened as a spark of lightning appeared around Isaac.


    Isaac was seen blinking slowly, and it looked to be in slow motion.


    The spark of lightning engulfed the card and turned it into ashes.


    The ashes were scattered around the floor, with the speed of the world returning to the same.


    Isaac blinked normally and felt the floor around him shaking for a few seconds before stopping.


    ''''Ah, Isaac!'''' Loki screamed and put his hands on his waist, ''''What a mess you made!''''


    Isaac turned his head and saw a pile of ashes on the floor, ''''Uhh...''''


    *RUMBLE!*


    In the sky above Stronglord, thunder was rumbling.


    ''''Fineee!'''' Loki screamed towards the rumble and stomped the ground like he was throwing a tantrum, ''''About your question... You will get your answer from your father. He won''t lie to you.''''


    ''''My.... Father?'''' Isaac''s eyes widened, and then, the door behind him opened, and Loki flicked his sleeve, which sent Isaac flying out of the door,nding in front of the shocked yers.

 Chapter 169 - Strange Mountainside.

    Isaac left the building after telling everyone that games had been yed after ''Ormond'' won.


    He used a special technique called LYING!


    He didn''t want others yers to go after him for rewards, which doesn''t exist in material form.


    The yers left reluctantly and became angry at Ormond. Some of them even made ns to hunt Ormond down and steal the rewards.


    Isaac dodged a bullet with his special technique, and no one even questioned him because a camera was flying around him.


    Streamers usually want to keep a good image and wouldn''t lie.


    After leaving the building and entering the busy streets.


    He pressed a button in the Streaming Screen, and soon, the stream''s pause disappeared.


    The chat instantly asked what happened and why was he in the streets all of a sudden.


    ''''Sorry for the pause.'''' Isaac apologized and walked to a nearby alleyway before starting to answer the questions, ''''Games are over¡ª it was a scam.''''


    [Divinity (Mod): Scam? Shit]


    [Tyrant: Ahhhh, waste of time!]


    Isaac shrugged and, out of habit, looked at the viewer count and started rubbing his eyes after he thought he was hallucinating.


    [Viewers: 31]


    ''''31...'''' After making sure that he saw right, he scratched his head out of disbelief and saw messages popping up in the chat.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Out of nowhere, a notification popped up.


    [Sandy has subscribed for 1 month!]


    ''''Ah...'''' Isaac eximed, ''''Sandy, thank you for your subscription.'''' He quickly looked around the alleyway before leaving and continuing his walk in the busy streets.


    [Sandy: You are indeed... A very unique specimen]


    Isaac nced at the chat, ''''Don''t say it like I am an alien of some sort.'''' He turned left in the streets and walked past a group of people, who were wearing heavy armory, and some had Healer''s robes.


    He nced at two of the individuals with a very heavy armory, shield, and sword. They were near 2 meters in height, maybe even bigger, making everyone around them look like ants.


    Isaac felt his neck aching after having to look up, to even see the faces of the individuals. He rubbed his neck and continued his walk while the men in armor and women in healer''s robes turned left, where Isaac came from and disappeared soon from the sight.


    He moved the stream chat closer, so he could see it better because he was about to ask questions.


    ''''What should we do now? Any secret quests you guys would know?'''' Isaac asked and entered a crossroad.


    He had a choice to go straight, left or right.


    Right leads to the City Square, which he doesn''t really want a visit.


    Left leads to a Slum area, and he doesn''t want to go there either.


    Straight leads to the City Gates.


    The chat exploded into a heated discussion, and most of them suggested to go increase his level, to which Isaac agreed even it feels boring to do all the time.


    But then, he remembered something.


    ''I have the XP Boost Potion...'' Hepletely forgot that he received one from HolySword.


    ''''Let''s go grind XP,'''' Isaac said and opened his Interface first time in his stream.

    Isaac nodded, ''''Maybe I can reach level 30 today... It''s about speed...''''


    The chat exploded after his Interface became visible.


    Most of the stuff was hidden, but not the level, which shocked many.


    Only 5% of the billions of yers have reached level 25 or above, which made Isaac''s prestige rise in their eyes.


    [Tyrant: You going to Beast Forest? Forest of Unknown is too far]


    Isaac smiled, and a pearl-like item appeared on his hand, and he showed it towards the camera, ''''Forest of Unknown.''''


    His body started shining in a greenish glow, and it took only a second for Isaac and the camera to disappear.


    [Onder: Wait... Wraith... Are you the one who got the First Clear?!]


    Most of the viewers Isaac gets are from other cities. Only a small percentage of the yers got Stronglord as the Starting City.


    The First Clear announcement was only seen around Stronglord and viges nearby.


    Most of the chat started asking from Onder what he was talking about, and soon they found out that Isaac was the one who got the First Clear!


    The ones who have First Clears in Starting City''s are almost always a Pro, with almost no luck involved.


    In their eyes, Isaac truly seems like a pro yer now.


    Soon, Isaac and the camera appeared in the middle of the dark forest, also known as the Forest of Unknown.


    He nced at the Pearl of Teleportation, and there was only one use left. Many would treasure it and use it only when their lives are in danger, but Isaac uses it the way it was meant to.


    As a form of transportation.


    ''''Let''s go find a good hunting ground,'''' Isaac said to his chat and decided to find the best possible hunting ground before drinking the XP Boost Potion.


    His chat is very excited to see Isaac fighting. After all, most of the people are watching pro yers because their skill is what attracts them.


    Most of the chat was stillining about his ss because they had never seen anyone do well with Marksman''s ss.


    Some streamers use Marksman ss, but they are mediocre at best, and watching their streams gives headache to many after they just hide and hope that their shots will hit their target.


    Isaac was trying to find another vige of some sort in hopes of finding strong enough Monsters to boost his XP.


    He is aware that the viges are scarce and was lucky enough to find the Goblin vige before anyone else found the Forest of Unknown.


    But soon, he reached an area which has mountains on the left and right sides. Isaac frowned after entering a mountainside, which is a strange sight in the forest.


    Looking behind him, he saw the dark forest, but in front of him, there is now a mountainside, going who knows where.


    There was a proper path going in the middle ofrge mountains, but looking at the mountains, Isaac saw over hundred hiding spots, which could be used as an ambush; it made him reluctant to go there, but he thought it would be a waste to not check it out.

 Chapter 170 - Wild West Of Nightmaries.

    In Divinity''s home.


    A young man with ck hair was leaning on the chair while watching a stream and, every now and then, writing in the chat.


    For the first time in a long time, he actually didn''t feel bored and was excited about a stream, which both made him feel strange, but also nervous about the possibilities this stream had.


    He still has concerns.


    What if Wraith wasn''t actually a good yer?


    It would be a catastrophe, but Divinity is sure that he would still attract viewers, but most likely, he himself would stop watching Wraith''s streams.


    His ss is what makes him nervous. Marksman, widely known as the WORST ss of White Online.


    It is challenging to use, difficult to master, and near impossible to be Pro yer.


    ''''Hmm? What the hell is this?'''' Divinity stopped leaning on the chair and leaned closer at the screen.


    On the screen, the white-haired young man reached the end of the path, and the sight was something extraordinary.


    ...


    Inside the White Online.


    Isaac reached an area that seemed to be the end of the mountainside.


    So far, he has moved carefully and kept his senses in rm, ready to dodge any attacks that could be thrown at him, but there wasn''t an ambush, not even movement of any sort.


    It made him much more rxed after walking a few kilometers in peace and quietness, but soon that ended after reaching the end, which made Isaac grab his Musket Rifle.


    There was downhill where the mountainside was located, but there were still rocky walls reaching far away.


    Reaching the downhill, he saw something he didn''t expect to see!


    He saw an abandoned vige some distance away. To get there, you need to walk down the downhill and still walk for another hundred meters to reach the first buildings.


    Isaac recognized the buildings as very simr to the ones in Wild West. Wooden structures with broken windows and cracks in almost every piece of wood.


    It was a miracle that the vige wasn''t already in ruins, but the buildings were still standing.


    One of the biggest wooden buildings was a saloon, which had doors that could be pushed and not pulled like most of the doors in the vige.


    Isaac ran down the downhill, leaving a trail of dust behind, and didn''t take long for him to reach a sign that said [Wee to]


    Half of the sign was torn apart,pletely removing the part where the vige''s name was.


    He entered the vige and walked past the creepy abandoned buildings with dark interiors.


    ''''It looks like a ce where humans could have lived...'''' Isaac muttered under his breath and remembered reading it somewhere that Forest of Unknown was upied by Monsters.


    ''''Maybe it wasn''t like that before...'''' Isaac moved his camera to capture the vige better, and it showed the viewers just how creepy the ce truly is.


    [Sandy: Oof, please leave, this ce is so creepy!]


    [Tyrant: I am having chills, something bad happened here, and I suggest leaving ASAP]


    [Pypo: Guys, don''t be pussies. There is nothing to worry about! It''s abandoned and will stay like that]


    Isaac didn''t have time to check the chat because his focus was on the rocky walls thatpletely surrounded the vige. There are only two exits.


    The way where he came from and climbing.


    The walls looked like someone could climb them with rtive ease if that person had previous climbing experience.


    Isaac doesn''t have, which would make the second exit suicidal, that made certain that this is the perfect ce for an ambush.


    If the first exit is blocked, he has no way to leave this ce, except with Teleportation Pearl, which made him more rxed.


    *Crack!*


    Everyone watching the chat flinched.


    Isaac turned around with narrowed eyes. Next to the vige sign, the ground had a massive crack, which wasn''t only a moment ago!


    He rxed after seeing that it seemed to be nothing serious, ''''This ce is falling apart...'''' He looked at the ground and stomped at it a few times, but it was still solid as ever.


    ''''Ah right, where I am... I hope I am still in the Outer Area and not Inner Area where the stronger monsters are located.'''' He quickly checked the Map and still felt rxed, but after seeing the ce where he was...


    A cold sweat started pouring down his back.


    ''''Ah...'''' Isaac closed the Interface and felt his throat bing parched.


    He wasn''t the only one who saw the map. His chat did as well, and it didn''t take long for them to start panicking.


    Isaac was currently in the Inner Area...


    It seems that the start of the mountain area was where Outer Area ended and Inner Area started.


    The Teleportation Pearl took him to the edge of the Outer Area!


    ''''I am so unlucky...'''' He quickly wiped his sweat and felt cursing aloud at his bad luck, but he needed to stay calm, and that''s what he did.


    His chat wasn''t as calm.


    [Divinity (Mod): Inner Area?! I heard no one has survived there! Apparently, there are above level 50 monsters and beasts!]


    [001Low: Use Teleportation Pearl and get the fuck out there!]


    Isaac was calmed down and started running towards the exit of the vige. He thought it wouldn''t be possible for Monsters to suddenly spawn in the vige; it shouldn''t work like that.


    But, his escape from the vige wasn''t as smooth as he wanted.


    *BAM!*


    The ground next to the vige sign exploded!


    Sending pieces of ground and dust flying.


    Isaac stopped running and paled as he saw something appearing from the ground...


    It was a very sharp-looking tail with spikes popping from it. The tail moved back and forth, and it seemed to be part of a Beast that was muchrger than Isaac could ever imagine!


    The tail moved in a way that seemed like it was looking at Isaac and observing.


    Isaac didn''t move, but that didn''t help, and soon more and more of the tail left the ground until it was almost 8 meters in length.


    The tail was in the color of purple, with very sharp spikes popping out from the skin that almost looked like armor!


    The tail started vibrating, which made it look alive in the eyes of Isaac.


    Soon, the tail made its move, and the sharp spike-like tip of the tail started moving towards Isaac!


    Isaac widened his eyes and was certain that if the tail struck him.... It would impale and kill him without him even realizing it!

 Chapter 171 - Tail Of Destruction.

    ''''Shit!'''' With a burst of speed, Isaac sidestepped, just barely dodging the tail made of steel.


    *SWOOSH!*


    The tail didn''t stop its advancement and pierced through the wall of the saloon, effortlessly cutting the whole wooden building in half!


    The tail''s length kept growing from 8 meters all the way to 20 meters!


    More and more of the purple steel tail was appearing from underground.


    Isaac''s chat was panicking after the appearance of a beast no one had heard about yet.


    ''''Haaahhh...'''' Isaac aimed the Musket Rifle at the tail but had a hunch that he couldn''t fight against a beast of this magnitude.


    Can his weapon even break the armor is a very important question.


    ''''Tsk.'''' He stopped aiming and used his agility stats to limit. He leaped andnded on top of the roof of a nearby wooden building.


    He saw the tail wreaking havoc, effortlessly destroying the saloon, which was in ruins.


    It only took several seconds for the saloon to bepletely destroyed!


    Isaac looked at the hole in the ground where the tail wasing from and could only see the tail popping out, with the underground being pure dark.


    He gulped and wondered what kind of beast was hiding there.


    The camera was floating a dozen meters in the air; it recorded the destruction and captured Isaac''s figure.


    He turned around to see the uphill in the distance and felt tempted to start running, but the speed of the tail made him wary.


    He dodged because the tail didn''t go at full speed, instead was holding back greatly.


    Isaac sighed and grabbed the Teleportation Pearl from his Inventory, which he wouldn''t have wanted to use, but chances of survival seem very slim.


    The chat seemed relieved after Isaac took it out, but someone else also reacted.


    The tail stopped wreaking havoc; itpletely stopped moving after feeling an energy signal that seemed very tasty.


    Isaac turned towards the tail after hearing the sound of destruction stopping and saw the tail turning towards him, or more precisely, towards the pearl.


    He widened his eyes after realizing what the tail wanted.


    ''''Hom¡ª!'''' He tried to teleport away, but instantly, the tail moved and pped Isaac away.


    *BAM!*


    Isaac''s figure crashed on the rock wall, and the Teleportation Pearl flew out of his hand.


    *BAM!*


    [-155 HP]


    His body crashed on the ground with all air gone from his lungs.


    ''''Aaahhhhh...'''' With a sound of pain, he moved to lie on his back and saw the tail moving anxiously, trying to find where the Teleportation Pearl disappeared.


    Finally, Isaac felt his hand being empty; turning his head, he widened his eyes in shock after seeing the pearl gone.


    The stream captured the scene, and most of them already gave up on hopes of survival after Isaac lost the pearl.


    *CRACK!*


    *BAM!*


    Isaac felt the ground below him shaking and heard the sound of wooden buildings crashing down. The ground below him was losing its sturdiness, and it was only a moment away frompletely falling down.


    The culprit was the Beast in the underground, who seemed desperate to get his hands on the pearl, but it was nowhere to be seen.


    The tail once again started approaching Isaac, thinking that he might have hidden it somewhere!


    Isaac quickly rolled in the ground, and once the tail struck the ce where he was in previously, it made an explosion, which sent debris and him flying away.


    *CRASH*!


    Isaac''s figure crashed through a wooden building, which was one of the few that was still standing, but not anymore.


    The wall was the first one that copsed, and after that was the ceiling and rest of the walls, burying Isaac in the debris.


    ''''Argh!'''' He climbed out of the debris and, with exhaustion, looked outside the building, where the tail was still searching for the pearl.


    The tail soon saw Isaac climbing out of the debris and became erratic.


    The tail started vibrating; it was so fast that it looked like it multiplied, and instead of there only being 1 tail, there would be 3!


    Isaac grabbed his Musket Rifle from underneath the debris and aimed it straight towards the tail.


    The tail took that as a tant provocation, and without further ado, it lunged towards Isaac!


    The tail looked both dangerous and extremely deadly! No one in their right mind would want to face against such an attack.


    Even Isaac''s chat couldn''t even see the attacks and only felt a chill going on their spine as they imagined them being in the same situation as Isaac.


    Would they survive?


    Definitely not!


    *BAM*


    *BAM*


    *BAM*


    The muffled sound was heard. The chat heard it and wondered what kind of sound that was.


    It definitely wasn''t a sound of the gun firing, instead of something else.


    The Musket Rifle''s barrel had ayer of ice, and a puff of cold air left Isaac''s mouth.


    Three bullets made of ice collided with the tip of the steel tail.


    The steel armory around the tail started freezing, with a thickyer of ice forming all around.


    The tail''s speed also decreased significantly, giving Isaac enough time to dodge the strike.


    *BAM!*


    The tail crashed to the wooden debris, destroying the iceyer almost instantly, but it seemed stiffer than previously, having some difficulties in moving.


    The stream finally saw Isaac appearing and was relieved to see him alive, but how long?


    Isaac aimed the Musket Rifle once again at the tail, who was currently trying to destroy the rest of the ice and was sessful doing so.


    The tail quickly turned to look at Isaac, but soon its attention was distracted, and it looked straight towards the hole.


    Isaac turned his head as well and widened his eyes in shock. A green pearl was rolling straight towards the hole, where the tail came from.


    It was the Teleportation Pearl!


    ''''No!'''' He shouted and went after the pearl, but before managing to do that.


    The tail bursted into motion, and it was miles faster than Isaac and passed him almost instantly!


    Isaac widened his eyes and saw the tail approaching the pearl, and at this rate, he will lose it!


    Without any choice left, he made a decision that would change his destiny once again.


    A single choice can change his whole life and future of the world.


    *BANG!*


    Isaac pressed the trigger and fired the Musket Rifle.


    The tail seemed ecstatic after it was about to touch the pearl, but then... A bullet went past it and collided with the pearl!


    The bullet sent pearl flying away straight towards the hole, and without further ado, the tail went after it in anxiousness...


    And so did...


    Isaac.


    With a leap of faith, he jumped inside the hole with the flying camera following behind him.

 Chapter 172 - Unknown Centipede.

    [Sandy: What are you doing?! Why are you jumping there and not running away!]


    [PPO: He is dead]


    [Divinity (Mod): Maybe he tries to retrieve the pearl?]


    [Tyrant: No clue... He can''t escape with the pearl and has to use it, which is not worth endangering his life]


    ....


    *Bam*


    Isaded on the hard ground, with darkness surrounding the ce and the terrifying Beast lurking somewhere.


    There was no sign of the tail, pearl, or the beast to who the tail belonged to, but he could feel a threatening presence lurking.


    ''''Fhhhhhhhhhhhh...'''' A chill ran through his spine as he heard a sound of unnatural sounding breathing in the darkness. Even his hair started fluttering from the single breath; he couldn''t imagine what would happen if he got attacked.


    A tinge of regret started sprouting on his mind, but he quickly shook it off.


    He wanted to find the pearl as soon as possible and get out of this ce, but in this dark ce, it was easier said than done.


    He tried to start moving, but when he did, he noticed how unstable the ground was and very... Spiky.


    *CRACKKK*


    Suddenly, the ground underneath him started moving!


    Isaac staggered backwards and almost fell down on his butt but managed to stop before the catastrophe.


    He moved at least five meters before the ground stopped moving once again.


    To the stream, it looked very weird and unnatural.


    But for Isaac... It was something much more perilous.


    He understood that he wasn''t standing on top of the ground; instead on top of the massive beast!


    ''''Just how big...'''' Isaac muttered under his breath and felt shock like never before.


    He can''t even imagine how big the beast underneath him is.


    ''I guess this is the end of my adventure...'' He thought to himself and looked back towards the hole, where he came from, ''I am not gonna wait for my death...''


    While looking at the hole, he didn''t notice that something was creeping upon him.


    Soon, he felt a chill on his spine and heard the quiet sound of vibrationing behind him.


    Isaac widened his eyes and moved his torso to the right, just a tiny bit, but it was enough for the steel tail to miss his body.


    ''''Die!'''' He screamed and used the Musket Rifle''s de to sh at the tail.


    *CLANK!*


    The de struck the steel armor of the tail, but it didn''t do any damage, didn''t even make a scratch on it!


    ''''Sssssssssss...'''' His beautiful face paled as he heard the bone-chilling sound of breathinging from above him, but also beneath him. It was like he heard the beast''s voice everywhere around him.


    The tail once again became erratic and did arge swing at Isaac.


    The white-haired figure jumped over the steel tail, with its spikes almost impaling him, but he jumped high enough to miss them.


    Once hended, he rolled couple more meters beforeing to a stop.


    Without further ado, he aimed the Musket Rifle at the tail and pressed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    Once the bullet left the barrel, there was a split second of light in the vast darkness.


    It was perhaps the first sign of light in this dark underground in hundreds of years.


    The thing Isaac was something beyond his wildest imaginations...


    He barely saw the Beast, and he greatly underestimated it...


    The underground ce was as far as his eyesight could reach, and it was one big cave system with rocky walls and ceiling, with dirt and soil popping out.


    The Beast, on the other hand... Wasn''t a Beast.


    Isaac had chills; now he understood why so many hated insects.


    He saw arge Centipede Insect, which was on the color of purple, with spikes popping from the armory.


    It looked like it was surrounded by thergest armor in human history, but it was its skin.


    That wasn''t the only thing that frightened Isaac.


    It was the length of the Centipede!


    He only managed to see it briefly, but he was certain that it was easily 2 kilometers in length!


    Isaac was standing at the area, close to the tail, while the massive head of the Centipede was far, far away.


    Once the light disappeared, which onlysted for a split second.


    *CLANK!*


    The bullet pierced through the steel armor of the tail but got stuck inside!


    First signs of any injuries in the Centipede were seen, but it was almost nothing!


    [- 1 HP]


    Isaac thought it was ridiculous, even felt likeughing.


    [Unknown Centipede]


    [Level: ???]


    [HP: ??????/??????]


    [You have discovered Lair of Unknown Centipede!]

    [Title of Adventurer Increases the XP by 300%!]


    [1000 -> 4000 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 26 -> Level 27]


    Increasing his level didn''t make him any happier; instead more anxious to leave this ce after seeing the monstrous being!


    ''''Ssssssssssss!'''' The sound of Centipede hissing made Isaac''s legs go weak, and he had a hunch that it didn''t like that he shot him, even though it didn''t even tickle.


    The tail had some difficulties in moving after having a bullet-sized hole in its armory, but soon it got rid of the shock and started moving even faster.


    It moved like whish, making a booming sound around Isaac, and he couldn''t even see its movement in the dark.


    *BAM!*


    *BAM!*


    *BAM!*


    It was obviously scaring Isaac, and it was working. He knew that he could die from instant and in the distance... He saw a sight that he didn''t want to.


    The tail, when collided with therge body of the Centipede, caused sparks to fly.


    Because of that, Isaac managed to once again see therge body of Centipede only for short periods of time.


    But, it was enough for him to see something that would give him nightmares for a long time.


    The Centipede''s head was slightly turned, and it was massive; the disgusting yellowish eye was staring right at him!


    ''''I am so dead...'''' The sparks kept flying around him, which allowed him to see the Centipede and the tail clearly.


    He could barely see the tail moving but saw it inching closer.


    It won''t take long for his life to end, but... Even though the fear was creeping in, there was something that gave Isaac enough courage to keep moving.


    [Fear Disperse used!]


    [Fear Disperse: Reduces the yer''s chances of bing afraid by 10%]


    His fear was conquered, and he once again moved his trusty Musket Rifle.


    The Musket Rifle that has been a nightmare for countless Beasts and Monsters before.


    ''''Haahhh... Haahhh...'''' He closed his left eye and took calm, yet slow breaths.


    The barrel of the Musket Rifle wasn''t aimed at the tail or the muscr body of the Centipede. Instead, it was towards the eye of the Centipede!


    The massive eye that was wide open with itsrge pupil concentrated on Isaac.


    His fingertip touched the trigger, and slowly, but surely, he squeezed it...


    *BANG!*

 Chapter 173 - Fireflies.

    The bullet flew through the air; without any obstructions, it reached the massive head of the Centipede.


    The Centipede still didn''t seem to react; it was like the bullet was invisible to the eye.


    Isaac widened his eyes and noticed that the Centipede didn''t have any reaction.


    The bullet finally reached the massive eye, and since there was nothing in the way to stop it, the shot was sessful.


    *Bam*


    The bullet crashed onto the eye, and the sight which Isaac expected didn''t happen.


    ''''What... The... Fuck...'''' Isaac staggered backwards after seeing the Centipede''s eye being fine!


    The destroyed bulletnded on the ground, it showed that it hit its target, but the damage was nonexistent!


    The Centipede didn''t have any reaction; instead, it was still looking straight at Isaac, but soon that changed.


    The ground started trembling and shaking; the culprit for such an event was the Centipede, whose massive body suddenly moved, but an only a little bit.


    *Bam!*


    Isaac quickly jumped to the side, and his previous spot was struck by the tail.


    The tail instantly went after him, without any intention of going easy after the white-haired human fired at its master!


    Isaac frowned and felt that the tail seemed strange. It was part of the Centipede, but it acted like it had its own conscience.


    The Centipede doesn''t seem to care slightest that some ant that can be crushed instantly was here, but the tail didn''t act like that.


    Isaac quickly put the Musket Rifle in the way, which shed with the tail, but the speed and velocity of the tail was too much.


    The result was as expected. Isaac was sent flying through the air.


    He flew out of the Centipede''s massive body and was falling towards the dark ground, which he has no idea just how far the bottom is!


    Looking at the side, he saw the side of the Centipede''s body, which was absolutely massive!


    It wouldn''t be strange if it was 100 meters in height, maybe even more, and now he is falling from it, the result would be instant death if hends on the ground.


    *Bam!*


    ''''Agh!'''' Isaac grunted in pain after his back crashed on a rocky wall, which was invisible because of the darkness around him.


    His body bounced away from the rocky wall, but he found salvation from it.


    Before he got too far from the rocky wall, he made his move!


    He stabbed the de of the Musket Rifle behind him and sessfully managed to stab through the solid rock wall.


    *CRACK!*


    The de kept slicing through the rocky wall in downwards motion while Isaac was still hanging from the Musket Rifle, hoping that the de won''t break and that it actually stops his fall!


    His body''s fall was decreasing significantly, and soon, itpletely stopped while he was still hanging from the Musket Rifle!


    The de was only around 10cm in length, and it could barely hold Isaac''s weight.


    It was barely even inside the rocky wall, and the current feat of him hanging from the Musket Rifle could be said to be miraculous!


    ''''Damn...'''' Isaac looked around anxiously and still didn''t see the ground anywhere, while the massive body of the Centipede was not that far, but he couldn''t even see the ce where he was previously.


    He tried to feel the rocky wall with his leg if there were enough footholds and handholds to descend to the ground safely, but it was so dark that it was extremely risky, but there didn''t seem to be a better solution.


    Isaac moved his left arm and moved his hand around the rocky wall, before finding something to grab onto.


    Once he was done grabbing something, he moved both his legs and found a proper foothold.


    After he was safely on the rocky wall, he pulled the Musket Rifle out of the rocky wall and stored it inside his Inventory.


    ''''Haahhh...'''' Isaac shook his head as he looked below him, towards the endless darkness.


    ''''Why would anyone be a climber? This is terrifying.'''' He felt like banging his head on the rocky wall and hoped that his current peril was a dream.


    But, it was the realest experience he ever had.


    Isaac leaned closer to the rocky wall and rested his exhausted body, soon he has to defy death and climb sessfully down.


    ''''Alright...'''' With a few deep breaths to gather his courage, he started climbing down towards the endless pit of darkness.


    He moved his leg down and tried to find a foothold and surprisingly, he found it quickly and it was so good that his whole feetnded on it!


    He looked surprised for a moment, before moving his other leg as well and putting it on the foothold.


    It felt strange, way different from the rocky terrain; instead, it was somewhat soft, like he was standing on top of the soil.


    Isaac frowned and removed his hands from the rocky wall; he crouched and took a handful of the soil into his clenched fist.


    ''''Are you kidding me...'''' He wryly smiled and looked around him.


    He was on the ground...


    He had to climb down 1 meter; that was as far Isaac''s climbing career went.


    Looking around him, he didn''t see the camera anywhere.


    ''''No one saw it... Nice.'''' Isaac murmured and threw the soil away and used his sleeve to clean his dirty hand.


    After he was done, he saw the slight outline of the massive body of the Centipede, which is easilyrge enough to squeeze him like a bug.


    He also looked at the ceiling, hoping to find the hole where he dropped down from, but not even a tinge of light appeared from the hole, which made it impossible to see it.


    He is currently trapped, and the only way to leave is with the help of Teleportation Pearl, but finding it is harder than finding a needle from the haystack.


    But then... From the ceiling, something amazing appeared.


    Isaac had to cover his eyes after a sudden appearance of light. His eyesight had already gotten used to the darkness, but instantly a light, which was in the color of yellow appeared, which made his eyes had sudden spike in pain.


    From the ceiling, hundreds, no... Thousands of fireflies appeared from the tiny cracks of the ceiling and rocky walls!


    Instantly, the previous dark cave was illuminated in bright light!


    In the end, there were over tens of thousands of fireflies all around the cave.

 Chapter 174 - Isaac Vs. Monsters.

    ''''Hissssssssssss!'''' The Centipede started bing erratic after the sudden appearance of the light!


    Its massive body started moving back and forth in a dangerous manner.


    Isaac''s body bounced up and down as the Centipede''s massive body made the ground shake and tremble.


    ''''Damn, why did the fireflies appear suddenly?!'''' He eximed and didn''t know whether it was good or bad that there was finally light.


    Now, he can see in front of him and might be able to start his search for the Teleportation Pearl, but now the Centipede is not so calm anymore.


    Isaac, with the corner of his eyes, saw the camera floating right next to him!


    He didn''t see it because of the darkness, but it was floating right next to him all this time!


    His stream saw the current peril and advised Isaac to leave, but he sighed and wanted to know how!


    If he could leave, he would, but there is no way to escape!


    But now, he at least sees the hole in the ceiling, which is simply too far to reach.


    *Crack*


    Isaac flinched and quickly jumped away from the rocky wall, which started cracking!


    A small portion of the rocky wall cracked and fell apart. It was like a door was made in the rocky wall, and there was something behind the rocky wall!


    It was another cave, but much smaller than the enormous cave system he and Centipede were in.


    From the rocky wall, erratic footsteps appeared.


    Isaac widened his eyes and saw the first glimpse of the identity of the footsteps.


    A small green-skinned figure with arge head and long ears appeared. Its mouth was salivating, making its disgusting-looking face dirty.


    ''''Goblin!'''' Isaac eximed and was surprised to see Goblins all the way here.


    The Goblin saw an unknown human, who in its eyes looked very tasty!


    With the wooden mace in its hand, the Goblin started running towards Isaac with its short limbs, making the speed very slow.


    Isaac grabbed the first weapon he saw in Inventory and grabbed it. It was Flintlock Pistol!


    He aimed the Flintlock Pistol and fired without wasting any more time.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet pierced through the goblin''s head and killed the creature instantly.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [250 XP Earned!]


    He threw the Flintlock Pistol inside his Inventory and took his Musket Rifle, which had only 2 bullets left before reloading.


    From the rocky wall, more and more green-skinned figures appeared. At first, Isaac thought it would be only a few, but soon his expectations were broken.


    At first, around dozen goblins appeared, but soon that count was near 50!


    After the goblins left the rocky wall and filled up the space around Isaac, different kinds of monsters started appearing.


    Large green-skinned humanoid monsters started appearing. Their muscr andrge frame made them look very intimidating and looked easily more threatening than the small Goblins!


    ''''Orcs!'''' Isaac became much more serious, especially after seeing the Orc''s level, which was 30!


    It wasn''t only one Orc that appeared.


    More and more kept appearing from the rocky wall, and each one wasrger than the previous one.


    The average level of the Orcs was 30, while the highest one was even 35!


    The Goblins seemed very scared and timid around the Orcs, which made Isaac sure that they had a system simr to the army.


    The Goblins are footsoldiers, while the Orcs are generals.


    Isaac was surrounded by the Goblins, who were salivating and wanted to take a piece of his flesh.


    The Orcs also gazed at Isaac with hungry gazes, but some of them looked at the Centipede with fear.


    ''''Krunt! Kraaaaah!'''' The first Orc that appeared mmed the ground with its massive mace, which was even bigger than the bodies of the Goblins.


    Isaac didn''t understand what they were saying, but it couldn''t be anything good after seeing the Goblin''s hungry eyes bing murderous.


    ''''Kraah!'''' the First wave of the Goblins started moving. Around ten of them started running towards Isaac with their maces above their massive head, ready to smash the white-haired young man''s frail-looking limbs.


    ''''Wait...'''' Isaac looked around him and thought that this was perfect for him!


    His stream was panicking, and some were prepared for the iing death.


    But Isaac saw this as a chance!


    Chance to catch up to top yers!


    With quick sleight of hands, he took a ss bottle from his Inventory and gulped the interior down his throat.


    [XP Boost Potion used!]


    [100% XP Increase for next two hours!]


    [1:59:59...]


    [1:59:58...]


    ''''Two hours... I will take it!'''' Isaac never lets himself get attacked without fighting back first!


    Even during his incident, he managed tond a few punches on the men with ski masks, but he soon got overpowered and was in a world of pain soon after.


    This current peril is very simr.


    Getting surrounded by opponents that look stronger than him. The current situation also looks hopeless, like during his incident.


    Even though he is weak in real life... In White Online, he is strong enough to defend himself!


    ''''I don''t need bullets to kill all of you!'''' Isaac''s scream went to deaf ears because the Goblins neither cared nor had any ns on listening to the human.


    They were prepared to listen to his cries of pain and despair and not some useless ramblings.


    But soon, they realized that they weren''t hunters; instead, they were the prey!


    *SWOOSH!*


    A streak of silver shed in front of them, and soon, the first Goblin stopped moving, then second, third, fourth, until all of them stopped!


    The Goblins touched their throat and felt very strange.


    *SPURT!*


    A rain of green blood appeared, and the first wave of the Goblins fell down to the ground, with light leaving their previous red eyes.


    The Musket Rifle''s de was tainted by green blood.


    Isaac expected to have a rain of notifications pop up, but he killed the Goblins so quick that only one notification appeared!


    [You Killed 10x Goblins!]


    [5000 XP Earned!]


    XP Boost Potion is doing its magic by increasing every XP earned by 100%!

 Chapter 175 - Isaac’s Show Of Power.

    ''''Kraaaaah!'''' An Orc with arge frame became enraged after seeing the Goblins dying without even being able to fight back!


    Its disgusting green eyes red at the white-haired human, who looked more fragile than their babies, but still somehow, that weak-looking individual made a very strong show of power.


    The rest of the Goblins still looked hungry,pletely ignoring their dead brethren.


    Their tiny and undeveloped brains couldn''tprehend their death.


    Isaac had his finger on the trigger but didn''t n on wasting bullets on the weak Goblins, whom he could kill easily.


    But, the Orcs are a different story. Their high level already made Isaac wary because he needed to jump levels to kill them!


    After winning against HolySword, he was more confident in himself, but when the highest level is 35, there is no way he can be rxed.


    ''''Kruh!'''' An solo Goblin couldn''t wait any longer and started running towards Isaac with its disgustingly long tongue stretched out of its mouth.


    The tongue moved back and forth, staining its monstrous face on its own saliva.


    A few more Goblins saw it and started running towards Isaac as well.


    The Orc who was giving orders looked enraged after the Goblinspletely forgot who was in charge.


    Isaac looked straight at the Orc''s face and smirked, which was seen by the Orc.


    The Orc frowned and wondered why does the weak human have such a look on his face.


    The reason was soon discovered after Isaac thrusted the Musket Rifle behind him without even looking where it was going.


    Soon, he felt the Musket Rifle trembling as the de dug deep inside the Goblin''s face.


    The first Goblin instantly died after getting impaled.


    [You Killed Goblin!]


    [600 XP Earned!]


    He removed the de from the Goblin''s skull and swung it towards two other Goblin''s, who were approaching his current position in a slow manner.


    *SPURT!*


    Two Goblin''s were beheaded swiftly, with a rain of green blood appearing around Isaac, but not even a stter was seen on his full white outfit.


    [You Killed 2x Goblins!]


    [1100 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 27 -> Level 28]


    ''''Krah!'''' The Orc mmed the wooden mace on the ground, making a 50-meter radius around the battlefield shake.


    The Goblins stumbled and fell down on their butt. Their faces showed fear as they saw the Orc''s monstrous face morph into a rage.


    Isaac staggered backwards, but managed to keep his posture fairly well.


    ''''Kruh, krah, karhhhyhhhh!'''' The Orc made weird noises, which was impossible to understand with human knowledge, but all the Goblins understood perfectly.


    Their hungry eyes turned into fear as they stood up and circled around Isaac.


    This time, they won''t blindly attack; instead, coordinate to kill the young human as quickly as possible!


    After they have killed him... Then, they can have a taste of the human''s flesh.


    ''''Kah!'''' The Orc looked satisfied as his monstrous face had a sign of smirk appearing. Its disgustingly long front teeth couldn''t be kept hidden inside his mouth any longer.


    His front teeth looked like massive fangs. His chin and jawline have enough strength to bite a human in half.


    Isaac''s expression didn''t really change, but taking a glimpse at the massive Centipede, he had a slight fear that it might start attacking them because of the Orc''s attack.


    But, the Centipede was too busy trying to get rid of the fireflies, which made the sudden tremor unnoticed.


    ''''Krunt, krant!'''' The Orc made hand signals, which looked like he was showing how to attack Isaac in the most efficient way.


    Isaac frowned and wasn''t gonna let them do whatever they were nning, ''Maybe if I reach level 30, I can fight against them and win...'' His beautiful grey eyes turned towards Goblins, who were looking at Orc and not him.


    Ignoring your prey during the hunt is the biggest mistake they could make, and the Orc was too busy acting high and mighty that they missed a crucial part in warfare.


    Never lose sight of your enemy!


    Isaac, out of nowhere, jumped towards the nearby Goblins!


    The Goblins weren''t prepared, which allowed Isaac to have easy kills.


    *SPURT!*


    With his Musket Rifle and his boundles confidence, he started a massacre.


    The green blood flew, staining the ground and making a rain made of green blood.


    While the person responsible for it seemed unaffected.


    His beautiful white hair and outfit flowed gently on the battlefield while a shower of green blood was all around him.

    ''''KRAH, KRAH!'''' The Orc became enraged as he tried to give instructions, but they went to deaf ears as the Goblins started panicking after more and more of their fellow brethren died!


    Isaac gritted his teeth and became faster and faster.


    After he became faster, Goblins started dying at an rming rate!


    Soon, a pile of dead Goblins was around him, with a stream of green blood pouring down to the ground made of soil.


    All of the Goblins had died.


    ''''Haahhh... Hahhh...'''' Isaac tried to catch his breathing with tiny drops of sweat dripping down his face.


    He heard the sound of the Orc screaming, but he didn''t care because he couldn''t understand, but after seeing the notifications in front of him...


    A smile appeared.

 Chapter 176 - Isaac Vs. Orcs.

    ''I wonder how far I am from top-level yers...'' Isaac thought to himself, and remembering that HolySword was level 30, the top yers might be closing in level 40.


    There has been a bigger gap in the levels than previously because truly skilled yers have started appearing. They can defeat monsters way above their levels, which increases their leveling speed.


    While there are yers who don''t go fight against monsters and beasts who are higher level, which is a slow, but safe way of grinding XP.


    ''This is my chance of catching up...'' He swiped the bangs out of the way of his eyes and looked straight towards the group of Orcs.


    From the cave, footsteps appeared. Previously there was only 5 Orc''s, but after everyone in the cave had exited, there were 10!


    Ten massive 2-meter tall Orc''s surrounded Isaac, who only looked prey in their eyes.


    Isaac came to the conclusion that he couldn''t survive this fight with only his de.


    ''How did King us manage to win without using his gun''s full potential...'' He didn''t know the answer to that question, but remembered Tristan''s words and description about King us.


    It was clear that he had the same gun as Isaac, at least somewhat simr. Apparently, it was longer than Isaac''s, which made him wonder what kind of gun he managed to buy.


    He shook his head to get rid of the useless thoughts and focused on the current situation.


    He opened the chamber and saw two bullets inside, which can be used to take down two Orc''s, if he is lucky enough.


    ''''Kruh!'''' The Orc patted its muscr chest and shouted, ''''KRUH!''''


    ''''KRUH!'''' Rest of the Orcs followed and patted their own muscr chests.


    After they were done with their battlecry, they started inching closer on Isaac.


    Isaac''s body was soon covered inrge shadows of the Orcs, who were getting closer with their terrible stench already assaulting his nostrils.


    He quickly turned around and scanned the best possible escape route and soon found it.


    One of the Orcs was a little bit impatient and was at least half a step quicker than others, which made their encirclement wed.


    None of the Orcs noticed, but Isaac did.


    The Orcs wondered what Isaac''s next move was, but they didn''t expect him to be able to do anything.


    Some of them didn''t see Isaac massacring their footsoldiers, which made them even slightly arrogant.


    Isaac took a short breath and without any warning signs or even any intention of attacking. He suddenly turned and fired.


    *BANG!*


    The surroundings became silent instantly after the bullet was fired, but soon that silence was interrupted after a dead Orc fell down to the ground.


    Isaac used this as a chance to get out of the encirclement and managed to do that fairly easily by jumping over the Orc''s dead corpse.


    The rest of the Orcs woke up from their stupor and felt angered.


    They feel embarrassed to see such weak and young-looking human killing them effortlessly!


    [You Killed Orc]


    [3000 XP Earned!]


    Isaac knew that they would be in a state of shock some time longer; it was the perfect time to use that to his advantage.


    With his Musket Rifle ready to be fired, he turned and squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    The recoil rocked his shoulder, pushing him a step backward.


    *SPURT!*


    The bulletnded right in the middle of the two eyes of the Orc.


    The shock of the bulletnding right on the face sent his massive body flying.


    *CRASH*


    After the Orc''s massive body fell down to the ground, it managed to take a fewst painful breaths before it''s heart stopped.


    [You Killed Orc]


    [3000 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 32 -> Level 33]


    ''''Krah!'''' The Orc who was giving orders to the Goblins had enough of the human''s killing spree. Without waiting for other Orcs, he rushed straight towards Isaac.


    His muscr body seemed clumsy but was much faster than the Goblins.


    He swung hisrge wooden mace, which has enough velocity and strength behind to crush Isaac''s bones till nothing is left!


    Isaac leaned behind, with his whole body leaning closer and closer towards the ground.


    He only saw a sh of brown as the wooden mace flew past his head.


    *BAM!*


    The wind pressure caused by the wooden mace destroyed a part of the rock wall.


    It told everything Isaac needed to know. The strength behind Orc''s strikes is strong enough to kill a 50 level yer!


    At least that''s what Isaac thinks, but he has no idea how strong the yers are when they reach level 50 and get their third skill.


    Isaac quickly straightened his back and retreated a dozen meters away.


    The Orcs quickly followed after him.


    Theirrge and loud steps were clear as the sky for Isaac, who was running away but didn''t manage to outrun them!


    He thought he was very quickpared to other yers, but he isn''t any fasterpared to the Orcs!


    A youth with white hair and eight Orcs was nearing on therge body of the Centipede. At first, it looked like Isaac was running towards the dead end, but this was exactly what he wanted!


    Centipede''s body wasn''t smooth. Instead, it was very rough, and there was something that could be used to climb to the top of therge body!


    The spikes!


    There are millions of smaller andrger spikes appearing underneath the purple armor of the Centipede, which can be used to climb.


    Isaac soon reached the Centipede''s body, while the Orcs were getting near with each passing moment.


    The cooldown of his weapon is ticking down, and it won''t take long before he can use his weapon again, but he needs to survive till then!


    He has the perfect way to how to bide time and how to escape this ce!


    Isaac concentrated his strength on his right leg''s muscles and used all his strength to jump high in the air.


    The Orcs widened their eyes in shock as Isaac flew through the air like a falcon!


    Isaac grabbed the first spike and quickly put his legs on top of two other spikes, which allowed him to keep standing.


    Looking below him, he saw the angry-looking Orcs looking straight at him; they had no intention to give up on killing Isaac.


    But, he didn''t care and didn''t feel any fear anymore.


    Looking straight up, he saw that there was a long climb ahead, but in the real life, his genius mind helped him to learn any sport he tried in a matter of hours!


    He learned in a few hours, became good in a day, and became master after a week.


    That was before his visit to the Fountain of Life, now he feels like he is smarter than ever before.


    ''''It is time to learn how to climb.'''' Isaac smiled and started slowly climbing.


    He used his hands to grab onto the spikes and pulled his legs up to stand on the spikes, and just like that, his journey to the top had begun.


    The second round of his climbing journey had begun.

 Chapter 177 - Isaac Vs. The Unknown Entity.

    ''''Kruh, krah!'''' The leading Orcmanded the rest of the Orcs to go after the white-haired human.


    The Orcs looked reluctant and even fearful when looking at the Centipede''s body, but soon, their bloodlust and hunger defeated the fear.


    They had some difficulties starting the climb with their massive bodies, but the spikes managed to carry their heavy bodies, and slowly, they started making their way to the top.


    Only the leading Orc was left in the ground, but even he started climbing rapidly with hot breath leaving its disgustinglyrge mouth.


    Isaac, who had reached the halfway mark on his climb, noticed the scene of green-skinned monstersing after him.


    ''''Haaahhh...'''' He wiped his sweat and leaned closer to the purple armor, which made his posture rock solid.


    After stabilizing his current position, he grabbed his Musket Rifle from his back and took five bullets from his leather pouch.


    He started reloading, and soon the chamber was full.


    He put the Musket Rifle back on his back and continued his climb.


    *Bang*


    Suddenly, the Centipede''srge body started moving up and down, destroying the ground below and making arge dust cloud.


    Isaac paled and used all his strength to grab the spikes. He looked below and saw the destruction mere movement caused, and he was certain that if they were still there... They won''t even have time to react before death was upon them.


    The Centipede soon again stopped moving, and Isaac noticed that the light around the cave system had decreased significantly.


    A million fireflies that were still floating in the ceiling have been reduced by over half!


    Isaac looked below and saw that none of the Orcs fell down, but they looked much more fearful than a moment ago.


    ''''I have to hurry...'''' He muttered under his breath and started climbing faster. Next time Centipede does something, it might not be as tame.


    The Orcs also understood the severity of the situation and decided to start climbing as fast as theirrge bodies allowed them.


    Half an hour and a few near-death situationster, Isaac reached the top!


    He looked extremely relieved after grabbing thest spike before the top. He used it to pull himself up, and soon he was standing straight.


    But, he didn''t have time to rx as he quickly said, ''''Interface.''''


    A holographic screen appeared in front of him, and Isaac decided to assign the stats before the Orcs reached the top.


    First, he tried to press Strength, but to no avail, it didn''t do anything.


    He sighed and went to the second choice, which was agility.


    [AGI: 55 -> 60]


    [SP: 70 -> 65]


    [VIT: 70 -> 80]


    [SP: 65 -> 55]


    [STA: 35 -> 50]


    [SP: 55 -> 40]


    [PRE: 100 -> 110]


    [SP: 40 -> 30]


    [CHA: 20 -> 30]


    [SP: 30 -> 20]


    [DEX: 41 -> 61]


    [SP: 20 -> 0]


    ''''Haahhh...'''' Isaac closed his eyes and soon opened them again, feeling much more powerful.


    But, after he opened his eyes, he saw that there was someone already waiting for him.


    ''''You gotta be kidding me...'''' Isaac was looking straight at the tail, which was only an inch away from his face.


    He didn''t move or do any sudden movements; he didn''t even dare to breathe too loudly.


    *BANG!*


    A massive hand appeared only a few meters away from Isaac. The hand belonged to the first Orc that reached the top!


    The Orc was breathing loudly and red at Isaac with hate; soon, he pulled his body up and roared, ''''KRAH!''''


    Isaac paled and quickly moved his head to the side while the tail brushed past his cheek and struck the Orc in the chest, making a sizeable hole in the muscr torso.


    ''''Urgh...'''' The Orc, with shock, stumbled backward, but he took one step too much and started falling down from the Centipede''s body.


    The tail quickly changed its trajectory and rushed towards Isaac, who was already prepared and used the thin de to sh with the sharp tip of the tail.


    *nk!*


    The tail quickly overpowered Isaac in a battle of strength.


    Isaac''s physical strength is too low for him to win in a battle of strength; the result was him getting pushed back with each collision.


    Sparks flew as the tail and the de collided; it even made a sharp sound that made the ears of everyone who heard it tickle in pain.


    Isaac felt annoyed at the random and sharp attacks of the tail, which was getting harder to block with each passing moment. His arms had to suffer the full brunt of the attack, which made it harder for him to keep holding the gun.


    In the distance, he saw more and more Orcs reaching the top, who only moment ago, had to see another one of their brothers dying.


    Their rage was already blinding them, and once they saw Isaac battling against some unknown entity, they didn''t care and started running straight towards the white-haired human.


    Soon, thest Orc also reached the top. He was the leading Orc who was barking orders to the Goblins and other Orcs.


    His menacing-looking red eyes saw Isaac, and with roars of rage, he also started running with its massive body, making arge booming noise with each step.


    Isaac''s current situation wasn''t looking favorable. The tail was still doing everything in its power to kill the white-haired human who attacked its master.


    *Pam!*


    The tail did a sudden change in trajectory, and Isaac wasn''t prepared at all!


    The smooth side of the tail struck Isaac in the shoulder, making a loud sound of flesh getting smacked, and who knows what kind of damage that single strike did to Isaac''s body, but it was clear what the shock of the attack did.


    Isaac''s feet left the ground, also known as Centipede''s body, and was sent away like a ragdoll.


    He crashed on the ground head first and rolled dozen more meters beforeing to a stop.


    [-200 HP!]


    [HP: 50/400]


    Isaac tried to breathe, but the air left his lungs after he crashed on the hard Centipede''s armor-like body.


    He could barely breathe, and his right shoulder waspletely numb, but the pain sensors still registered as pain in the same magnitude as pinching.


    It wasn''t very painful, but the same pinching sensation was all around his body, making it very ufortable for him.


    The only reason why he was still alive was because the armor he was wearing managed to block most of the damage.


    He felt lucky but also unlucky that the tail was only targeting him and not the Orcs.


    Looking behind him, he already saw the Orcs rushing towards him, while the tail was moving with random zig-zag movements, but it was also inching closer and closer.

 Chapter 178 - The Death Of Tail Spirit!

    *BAM!*


    The tail struck the ground in front of Isaac, which caused him to take one powerful leap backwards.


    Isaac was sweating buckets and felt exhaustion creeping in as he had been dodging for the past five minutes, defying death against all odds, but even his luck was running out.


    Every now and then, Orcs manage to make their own attacks while being careful of the tail after a few of them got hit by ident, but Isaac managed to barely dodge them.


    He doesn''t even have time to aim with his Musket Rifle and fire, making the current situation very disfavorable for him.


    He decided to dodge for the time being, but even that had limits.


    *BAM!*


    Isaac side jumped, and his previous spot was struck by the tail and three wooden maces.


    ''''Come on!'''' He screamed out of frustration, and once hended on the ground, he started sprinting away, trying to make a distance to the tail and the Orcs.


    No matter how far he ran, the tail always followed instantly, like it had a tracker that was targeting Isaac and only him.


    ''''Fuck off!'''' Isaac screamed and shed with the Musket Rifle towards the iing tail.


    The tail was deflected away after the sudden attack, but only a couple of meters, before it continued its pursuit once again.


    ''''Cockroach!'''' Isaac jumped over the tail, which was an only meters away from impaling him like it did with the Orc.


    He truly felt like the tail was a cockroach that just won''t disappear no matter how hard he tried.


    He was getting fed up with the tail and decided to get rid of it once and for all!


    With his Musket Rifle in his hand, he uttered every bit of strength that his body had.


    The tail changed trajectories and flew straight towards Isaac''s face, with its sharp end capable of killing anyone.


    Usually, it is impossible to hit the tail because it is simply too fast for anyone to fire before it is already about to kill them.


    But, Isaac found a way, and even though it is risky, almost suicidal, he will do it without caring about consequences!


    He lowered his weapon and did an upwards thrust with the Musket Rifle!


    The thin de of the Musket Rifle pierced through the iing tail; once it was inside the tail, it kept cutting through the purple armor, while the tip of the tail was slowing in speed but still approaching Isaac''s face.


    Inch by inch, the sharp tip of the tail was approaching, but once it stopped, it was already touching Isaac''s noise, making a small cut, which made blood drip down from his nose.


    The tail that was cut was also dropping some kind of purple liquid, it was first time Isaac actually saw the tail being properly injured in any way!


    The tail started moving erratically like it was in a lot of pain, it even tried to cut Isaac''s face in half, but it couldn''t move any further.


    Isaac slowly put his hand on the trigger and said, ''''I have won.''''


    The tail looked straight at Isaac''s eyes like he understood his words.


    *BANG!*


    A bullet left the barrel and destroyed the interiors of the tail, which was an only moment ago still sharp and deadly-looking, but now it exploded into pieces in a rain of purple blood!


    The sharp tip of the tail disappeared into a mist of blood, and only the destroyed part of the long tail was left, which stopped moving and lifelessly fell down on the ground.


    Isaac took a deep breath and thought that this was the end of the tail, but he didn''t expect to get a notification after the death of the ''''tail''''.


    [You killed The Tail Spirit of Unknown Centipede!]


    [6000 XP Earned!]


    Isaac was shocked to find out that it was actually some kind of spirit and not simply a part of Centipede''srge body!


    In the pond of purple blood, he saw an item that looked familiar.


    Looking at them closely, he recognized it as the Teleportation Pearl, but it was covered in purple blood!


    ''''He found it!'''' He eximed and quickly grabbed the Pearl, wondering why did the Tail Spirit want it so badly.


    *Swoosh*


    Suddenly, a camera appeared around Isaac that had been recording the whole confrontation, and the shock his viewers received wasn''t small.


    [Sandy: Marksman ss can be yed like this?!]


    [Divinity (Mod): I thought they are terrible at Close Quarters Combat? Then why is Wraith so good, or is everyone else ipetent?]


    [*****: Wow, he is strong!]


    [*****: I have never seen someone level up so fast!]


    [*****: That was fucking awesome!]


    Isaac, with a corner of his eyes, saw the viewer count, and another shock was ahead.


    [Viewers: 128]


    He broke 100 viewers with ease!


    ''Weird... I thought getting viewers without streaming for months is difficult feat.'' Isaac thought to himself and was satisfied that many liked enough to stay watching.


    But he had no idea that getting over 100 viewers as an unknown person is an incredible feat!


    Almost impossible one!


    Also, his stream is vastly different from any other by miles!


    Where else can you watch someone fight against dozens of Orcs and some kind of Tail Spirit while running on top of a massive Centipede that can destroy a City with one attack?


    Most of the streamers aren''t adventurers, instead, they like to stay in safer ces, but Isaac''s stream now showed the appeal that is called Adventurer Streams!


    Isaac unknowingly became a pioneer of Adventurer Streams, which will be a genre that is one of the most popr ones in the near future!


    He himself has no idea yet what kind of storm his stream will bring to the inte, but currently, he needs to survive his current situation.


    Seven Orcs remained that were startled after the tail was destroyed, but the leading Orc started making strange noises.


    Isaac saw them once again about to attack, which removed any thoughts about rxing for a while.


    Only 50 HP is left.


    A single strike can take his life away.


    But Isaac has a trump card.


    The Orcs were fearful of the might the Musket Rifle possessed; it was something they had never seen before, and after seeing its true power, they couldn''t help, but feel fear.

 Chapter 179 - Six Bullets, Six Kills.

    ''4 bullets left... 4 kills.'' Isaac went into a firing position and put his finger on the trigger.


    ''''Krah, kruh, kah!'''' The leading Orc stepped forwards and mmed the Centipede''s purple armor with itsrge wooden mace.


    The Orc behind also took a step forward, showing that they weren''t afraid, but the reality was vastly different.


    ''''Kor!'''' The leading Orc pointed at Isaac with its massive mace and was signaling for the rest of the Orc to attack!


    The Orcs gritted their teeth and started running at the same time. Theirrge bodies and wooden mace are ready to stomp Isaac like a bug.


    ''''One,'''' Isaac said and squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    The first bullet left the barrel, and the Orcs couldn''t even react before one of them already got hit.


    *SPURT!*


    One of the Orcs seemed like he tripped, but there was a gaping hole in the forehead which was dripping with greenish blood.


    The Orc''srge body crashed onto the ground with no signs of any life.


    Six Orcs remained; only five were attacking Isaac.


    [You Killed Orc!]


    [3200 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 33 -> Level 34]


    Isaac exhaled out through his nose and soon did another short breath, ''''Two.'''' He put his finger on the trigger and squeezed powerfully.


    *BANG!*


    The second bullet left the barrel and only left a trail of smoke behind.


    The second bullet, second kill.


    *BAM!*


    Another Orc fell down with a simr hole on the face, but this time on the cheek.


    [You Killed Orc!]


    [3400 XP Earned!]


    Five Orcs remained.


    The leading Orc was barking orders, but his voice trembled as he couldn''t believe the sight in front of him.


    ''''Third.'''' Isaac slightly changed the direction of his aim and turned it towards the fastest Orc, who wasn''t that far away from him.


    *BANG!*


    The third bullet started flying, and soon, another Orc was lying down dead.


    *BAM*


    Only four Orcs remained.


    [You Killed Orc!]


    [3400 XP Earned!]


    ''Last one...'' Isaac closed his eyes and took a deep breath, rxing his heartbeat, which stabilized his aim.


    He once again opened his eyes and fired without wasting any more time.


    *BANG!*


    One final bullet left the barrel, and the fourth Orc fell down on the ground with a hole on his face.


    Four dead Orcs stained the Centipede''s body in stinky green blood.


    [You Killed Orc!]


    [3400 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 34 -> Level 35]


    The two remaining Orcs, apart from the leading Orc, finally saw a chance after the white-haired human lowered his weapon.


    They swung their massive wooden maces simultaneously with every fiber of their being. After seeing their brothers dying in the hands of this human, they didn''t even want to eat him anymore; instead, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!


    Isaac had one advantage of being smaller than the two massive Orcs. He is a smaller target for attacks.


    He threw his Musket Rifle inside his inventory and started running towards the Orcs, who were only a few meters away from him; it was a move no one expected.


    His chat thought that he became suicidal and that soon they have to go look for another stream to watch. They felt disappointed if that was the case, because they were starting to enjoy, but if Isaac dies, he can''t y for another week.


    The Orcs grinned victoriously because they are used to fighting against other Orcs, or sometimes Goblins for fun, but it is usually one-sided beating.


    They have never fought someone like Isaac, who is shorter than them but also way faster than Goblin!


    Isaac seeing the maces being only meter away from hitting his face, decided to make his move. His feet left the ground, and at first, it looked like he was going to jump, but soon his body started falling back down to the ground.


    Instead of staying on his two feet, he went into a sliding position and slid right past the two Orcs, who looked shocked after Isaac suddenly disappeared!


    Isaac quickly stood up, and before letting Orcs react to his disappearance, he grabbed two Flintlock Pistols and aimed at the back of their heads.


    *BANG!*


    *BANG!*


    He pressed two triggers simultaneously.


    The bullet, which left the first Flintlock, effortlessly pierced through the first Orc''s head, but the bullet of the second Flintlock struck the head of another Orc but didn''t kill.


    The second Flintlock was the first proper gun Isaac bought, and it doesn''t have enough strength to kill a being of over 30 levels with a single bullet!


    But... Luckily, he still had the second bullet on his better Flintlock Pistol.


    The Orc moved his head angrily, just in time to see a barrel of the Flintlock Pistol gazing at him.


    ''''Orgh.'''' The Orc despaired, and soon a ck-colored bullet left the barrel.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet pierced through the Orc''s eye effortlessly, and he stayed standing for couple more minutes before falling down to the ground.


    [You Killed Orc!]


    [3600 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Orc!]


    [3600 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 35 -> Level 36]


    ''''Haahhh...'''' He felt his arm aching. All the way from his shoulder to the tips of his finger, there was a small pain.


    He opened the Inventory and threw the Flintlock Pistols inside, and took his Musket Rifle.


    Only one Orc remained.


    He turned around and saw the enraged leading Orc, who lost his army made of Goblins and his brothers.


    All that was done by a single person!


    Isaac''s chat was going crazy after an unbelievable show of skill.


    [*****: He must be the greatest Marksman yer alive!]


    [*****: Just how many levels had he passed in around twenty minutes?!]


    [*****: Around 10! What a fucking beast!]


    Isaac calmly waited, and truth to be told, he has been acting since the beginning of the fight.


    He has acted like he was in full control of the match; that was to increase the doubt in the Orc.


    The Orc seeing Isaac''s calm face, didn''t dare to make any risky moves and wasn''t aware of Isaac''s reloading time!


    If he was fighting against yers, they would never let go of this golden chance to kill him, but the Orcs and other Monsters have no idea about the reloading time.


    Soon, the cooldown ended.


    Isaac smiled and put five bullets on the chamber.


    It was a time for the final match.

 Chapter 180 - One Bullet To Decide It All.

    ''''Hmm, what is that?'''' A young girl around 15s of age saw a strange sight. She was currently scrolling down the StreamKing website and noticed quite unique thumbnail of a stream.


    It had a white-haired youth facing against a muscr Orc, and their surroundings were what fascinated the young girl. They seemed to be in a dimly lit ce and standing on top of some kind of purple rockish ce.


    The view count also surprised her because it had 200, and it showed that the stream was still dered as new!


    She has often watched new streamers, but she has never seen anyone above 10 viewers in their first stream, let alone 200!


    ''''Is the streamer a famous person?'''' She thought that it had a lot of viewers because the streamer is some kind of celebrity; it was the only exnation she could find.


    It still made her curious, and she decided to click the thumbnail.


    The first thing she saw was how busy the chat was, and it looked like they were going crazy for some reason.


    But then, she saw the stream, and her eyes almost bulged out of her skull after the camera captured the massive Centipede in the distance.


    ''''W-W-What!'''' She screamed so loud that her mother, who was currently cooking dinner, heard her.


    ''''Gross!'''' She screamed one more time and covered her face with her whole body having chills, but every now and then, she peeked through her fingers and had chills every time she noticed that disgusting insect.


    She has always hated insects, but after seeing a few kilometers one, it was already a miracle that she didn''t pass out right this instant.


    She debated whether she should just leave the stream, but it looked so interesting that she didn''t dare to miss it!


    Looking at the chat, she frowned after seeing very interesting chats.


    [*****: Wraith, kill the Orc! You beast of a man!!]


    [*****: This is goddamn sick, one more,e on!]


    She thought that those chat was quite weird because she was almost certain after seeing Isaac''s face that he was a girl, but then she saw a few chats which told his true gender!


    She had to look back and forth between stream and chat, still couldn''t believe it!


    Her heart almost exploded into nervousness after seeing the Orc swinging his massive mace, almost beheading Isaac with a single strike, but he managed to dodge with a nicely timed jump.


    The chat was as nervous as her, and once they saw him surviving another attack, the relief couldn''t be described with words.


    Her palms became sweaty as she flinched every time the Orc attacked, but the white-haired youth still managed to fight in equal standings, even managing to push the Orc back with the thin de of the Musket Rifle.


    It was a battle of titans.


    ''''Anna, dinner is ready!'''' Anna heard her mother yelling from the kitchen.


    ''''One moment, mom!'''' She shouted back and once against concentrated on the screen, her nose almost touching it.


    ...


    *BANG!*


    Isaac squeezed the trigger and instantly took arge leap backwards; he used the recoil of the firing to increase the length of his jump.


    The bullet, which left the barrel, struck the wooden mace and got stuck inside, not managing to pierce through!


    ''''Krrrrhhh...'''' The Orc growled menacingly and put the wooden mace above his head before smashing it down!


    Isaac once again had to jump back, the previous spot where he was got destroyed by the powerful attack.


    Even the solid armor of the Centipede was smashed in the process.


    But, only the outeryer of the armor was broken, while there was a much thickeryer of armory below.


    *BAM!*


    The Orc jumped and instantly swung his wooden mace one more time.


    Isaac instantly aimed at the iing mace and squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet struck the iing mace and deflected it away!


    The Orc was in an awkward position with his muscr arm stretched behind him and his hand barely managing to have a hold of the wooden mace.


    Isaac saw this as a change and fired one more time.


    *BANG!*


    The recoil pushed his shoulder back by an inch, making his posture a mess, and that''s why his aim wasn''t perfect.


    *SPURT!*


    The bullet pierced through the Orc''s shoulder, making it gush with blood, but Isaac wanted to finish him off but failed in doing so.


    He rubbed his painful shoulder and saw a bruise forming. He had overused his gun, and the result was self-injury.


    His body isn''t that strong to deal with the recoil, and he has used the Musket Rifle only a couple of days, and he needs much more time to get used to it.


    The Orc looked like he was hyperventting with his flesh tissue popping out from the wound he received only a second away. The green blood was pouring down, making his previous light green skin darker.


    [HP: 76/320]


    With a single strike to the shoulder, he lost most of his HP.


    While Isaac''s HP was looking worse.


    [HP: 42/415 - Lizard Scale Armor Effect!]


    He tried to move his shoulder around but didn''t manage to. It felt like there was an invisible wall when he tried to move his shoulder around, and the pinching sensation always returned.


    He tried to see if he could still hold the Musket Rifle and fire with it. He aimed it towards the Orc, who instantly put his wooden mace as protection.


    Isaac nodded after seeing that he could still aim, but he decided to check the chamber and how many bullets were left, but he already knew how much, but he wanted to make sure.


    In the chamber, one bullet with a golden lining was seen.


    ''''One bullet...'''' He looked at his bruised shoulder and was sure that he couldn''t keep fighting after the next shot.


    His shoulder was already near cripple; after the next shot, he would be lucky if he can keep carrying the Musket Rifle, let alone shoot!


    One bullet to decide it all. It isn''t farfetched by saying that the next bullet will be the most important one he has ever fired!

 Chapter 181 - Rain Of Victory.

    Isaac''s chat became quiet, with many not even daring to breathe.


    He knew that he only needed to hit the Orc''s body once, no matter where, as long it''s not leg!


    One bullet to decide his fate.


    ''''Huff...'''' He closed his eyes and calmed his body.


    Once he opened his eyes, everything was much clearer to him than before.


    His fingertip touched the trigger, and he only needed to press to find out his fate.


    He raised his weapon and aimed straight at the Orc''s torso. It was a much wider target, which made it an ideal ce to shoot.


    ''''Krrrrr...'''' The Orc was hyperfocused. Nothing managed to distract him, not the loud sounds of the Centipede or the sound of rain that suddenly appeared on top of the Forest of Unknown.


    The rain trickled down from the hole in the ceiling, making a sshing sound each time itnded on the Centipede''s body.


    Isaac took another short breath and was ready to fire the shot that would determine whether he would die or live to see another day.


    If he dies. He will lose his viewers, he loses the Legacy Contender title, five levels he had to earn with hard work, and he can''t y for another week, and he will be left behind by everyone else.


    *BAM!*


    Suddenly, the Centipede''s body trembled, like a massive earthquake happened, but it was the Centipede killing the rest of the fireflies, which made the light around the cave diminish!


    The Orc couldn''t see the white-haired human anymore, or his own body.


    Isaac mmed his wide open and sniffed the air in front of him.


    ''''Sniff...'''' He could easily smell the disgusting stench of the Orc, and he knew exactly where he was!


    The camera went automatically into night vision mode.


    It still had its glitches which have been said to be fixed in the next update. Sometimes, the night vision won''t active, but sometimes it does.


    This time, it did.


    The viewers could see clearly as the Orc was looking confused, while Isaac looked confident and was ready to fire.


    [*****: Shoot!]


    [Divinity (Mod): Press the trigger!]


    He didn''t need to know what chat said because he knew what he needed to do.


    His finger slowly squeezed the trigger and felt the recoil pushing his shoulder back.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel, and it was the only sound in the dark cave system.


    The Orc heard it and jumped to the side in hopes of dodging.


    But, the bullet is simply too quick, and even though the Orc managed to move a great amount of distance in just a split second, it was still not possible topletely dodge.


    The bullet pierced through the Orc''s waist and exited from behind with the bullet covered in greenish blood.


    ''''Kruh!'''' The Orc screamed and fell down on the ground with his HP diminishing, and soon it reached zero.


    With unwillingness, he died with his hatred still remaining.


    Isaac dropped the Musket Rifle after his arm was unable to keep carrying it.


    ''''Ah!'''' He screamed and felt a very weird sensation around his shoulder like needles were piercing through his flesh.


    [You Killed Orc!]


    [4000 XP Earned!]


    ''''Haahhh... Hahhhh...'''' Isaac grabbed the Musket Rifle with his left hand and threw it inside Inventory beforeying t on the ground.


    The camera was circling around his exhausted body, and even though he was aware that he should keep the stream entertained, he was simply too tired to care.


    ''''Sorry, guys... I think I will end the stream.'''' Isaac, without waiting for the chat to react to his words, opened the Streaming Screen and ended the stream.


    The green screen turned red, which soon also disappeared from Isaac''s view.


    Finally, he could truly rx without thinking about someone seeing him in his current situation.


    Without him even realizing it, him stopping the stream only caused everyone to spread the news about the stream quicker, and it won''t be only a few who will be excited about the uing stream.


    *CRACK*


    Once again, the whole body of Centipede trembled, which stopped Isaac from rxing.


    ''''Come on.'''' Isaac sighed and debated whether he should use the Teleportation Pearl.


    But soon, the Centipede''s body started moving closer and closer at the ceiling.


    Isaac saw the hole in the distance, and it looked too far away, but it was like the Centipede was carrying him because Isaac saw the hole getting nearer with each passing moment.


    Soon, Isaac saw him being only meters away from the hole. He used his left hand to push himself up and already saw outside, with rain dropping down on his silky white hair.


    He quickly climbed out of the hole and appeared outside the cave system. Rare moments like this make him truly feel rxed.


    After almost dying so many times, he was the one who survived and managed to escape.


    The Centipede''s body started getting further and further away from the hole.


    *Ssh*


    *Drip*


    *Drop*


    The raindropsnded on Isaac''s face, making it wet quickly. The ground was already wet, making his Camouge outfit dirty because of the wet dirt.


    But, he didn''t have any energy to move around, so he stayed lying down.


    He embraced the raindrops and closed his eyes with satisfaction. In Wintend, there isn''t any rain, instead only snowstorms.


    This was the first time ever Isaac felt the effects of the rain. Because of the rain, he could smell the scent of nature better than ever before.


    ''''This is nice.'''' Isaac hummed with satisfaction wouldn''t mind staying in the rain forever, but fate had different ns.


    The rain slowly lessened in intensity, and soon, Isaac only felt a couple of raindropsnding on his face, but then there was zero.


    No rain whatsoever, and even the sound was gone.


    He opened his eyes and saw the grey sky disappearing, reced by a hot sun and blue sky.


    ''''Sigh...'''' He covered his eyes, which was assaulted by the bright lighting from the sun, ''''Never thought I would hate seeing the sun....''''

 Chapter 182 - Cross The Worlds.

    *Bam*


    Isaac kicked down a door, which led to a worn-out building, which was one of the few that was still standing on the Wild West vige.


    It was a small store-like building with a wooden front desk and two doors leading to the storage area, but it was very small and empty.


    Ayer of dust covered the wooden floor, and all sorts of insects were crawling from the cracks.


    Isaac sat down and leaned on the wooden wall. He was hiding from the sun because after spending so much time on the dark cave system, he got used to it, and the sun was simply making his skin ache.


    There was a reason why he didn''t leave yet; he wanted to assign his stats.


    He has 30 Stat Points to be used.


    He didn''t think too deeply and simply put them on agility and precision.


    [AGI: 60 -> 80]


    [SP: 30 -> 10]


    [PRE: 110 -> 120]


    [SP: 10 -> 0]


    His HP had been recovered not long ago, and the bruise on his shoulder disappeared.


    He opened his Interface and checked how much the XP Boost Potion had time left, and surprisingly only 10 minutes!


    Unknowingly, the time went faster than he could have ever imagined.


    ''''It''s useless to go find more monsters...'''' Isaac came to the conclusion that he was done for today. Even though Mythical VR Helmet allows him to y as long as he wants, there was still a thing called mental exhaustion.


    He opened his Inventory and grabbed the Teleportation Pearl; he only took a glimpse of the uses and didn''t expect it to have any changes, but what he saw truly shocked him!


    [Epic Teleportation Pearl (10 uses)]


    ''''10?!'''' Isaac rubbed his eyes and wanted to make sure he didn''t mistake 10 as 1.


    But, once he opened his eyes, it was still 10.


    ''''How...'''' He started pondering what the reason for such drastic change was but only came to one conclusion.


    ''''It was the Tail Spirit...'''' He remembered that the Tail Spirit was very obsessed with the Teleportation Pearl and somehow merged with it.


    During the merge, the Teleportation Pearl must have its uses increased.


    He thought about teleporting to his rented room at first, but then his thoughts started wandering, and he thought about his real life''s room.


    ''''I will log out after teleporting.'''' Isaac made up his mind, but he was still thinking about his real-life room and not his rented room.


    ''''Home.'''' The Teleportation Pearl started glowing, and soon the greenish glow covered Isaac''s body.


    Soon, both he and the Teleportation Pearl disappeared.


    ...


    Inside Legacy Headquarters.


    Arthur was once again standing in the middle of the room, which had thousands of screens nailed on the walls.


    Hundreds of workers were tirelessly typing on the keyboards; no one, except Arthur knew what they were doing.


    But soon, the calmness of the room was disturbed.


    *RING!*


    All the screens became red with rm sting an ear-piercing sound.


    Arthur widened his eyes in shock and saw all the workers typing on the keyboard in a hurry, trying to find what was happening!


    ''''Report!'''' He shouted and saw that none of the workers seemed to have any idea.


    After seeing that his workers had zero idea, his face paled as possibility appeared on his brilliant mind.


    ''''It can''t be... It''s too soon!'''' Arthur stormed out of the room, leaving stunned workers behind.


    While he was running in the hallway, he noticed a beautiful middle-aged woman carrying a stack of papers, barely managing to stay standing.


    She had beautiful blond hair, reaching all the way to her lower back, and beautiful blue eyes, like an ocean, were living in them.


    She also noticed Arthur running like his life depended on it.


    ''''Arthur is something wro¡ª'''' She didn''t manage to finish her words after Arthur ran past her.


    ''''Code red!'''' Only Arthur''s scream was heard as he kicked a door to pieces, which led to his office.


    Emilia''s eyes widened, and she identally dropped the stacks of papers on the floor. Instantly, the hallway was blocked by the papers, but she didn''t care and ran after Arthur.


    She ran as fast as she could with her heels and soon reached the office.


    Arthur was typing like a madman on the keyboard and was muttering some inaudible words, ''''Too soon... Too soon... Too soon...''''


    Emilia sat next to Arthur and was fidgeting around with her fingers. She knows everything there was to know about White Online.


    She might not be as famous as Arthur, but she has been with him since day one.


    She knows the seriousness of Code Red alert, and it is something that canpromise the real purpose of White Online to the outside world!


    ''''If it is one of those gossiping bitches, then we are ruined!'''' Arthur felt like pulling his hair out, but he needed to be sure about the reason for the Code Red!


    ''''Arthur, it will be alright.'''' Emilia grabbed Arthur''s hand and did a weak squeeze, ''''Everything will be fine.''''


    Arthur stopped for a moment after feeling Emilia''s soft hand touching his, but soon he continued typing and said, ''''That''s right... But, this shouldn''t have been possible! We made sure that only yers with Mythical VR Helmet could cross the worlds, but was there a bug?''''


    ''''Wait...'''' Emilia then suddenly eximed, ''''Didn''t you give the President of Whitelock Company the Mythical VR Helmet?!''''


    Arthur widened his eyes, ''''You mean... He would go and try it out?''''


    Emilia sighed and didn''t know an answer to that question, ''''Maybe... Some would feel impatient to try it out.''''


    ''''No... He is not that kind of a man.'''' Arthur leaned on the chair, then he remembered that he had a son, ''''But... What if his son was lucky enough to identally cross the worlds?!'''' He quickly sat straight and started typing.


    He remembered Maxwell''s son''s ID and started typing [Wraith]


    Soon, he pressed enter, and the screen started changing.


    Arthur and Emilia leaned closer on the screen and wondered. Was the first-ever user of Mythical VR Helmet so incredibly lucky?!

 Chapter 183 - Isaac And Isaac.

    ''What is happening?'' Isaac thought with confusion as he had kept his eyes closed for nearly two minutes.


    The bright light that usually happens during teleportation was still there, even though it usually disappears after a few seconds.


    ''Is it a bug?'' He thought inwardly and hoped that his worries were unfounded.


    He tried to slowly open his eyes but had to instantly close them. It was like he was gazing at the sun.


    He couldn''t even feel his body; it was like he was floating in space and had lost control of his body''s functions.


    *Beep*


    *Ding*


    ''Again...'' Isaac sighed and had heard both dinging and beeping noises for the past few minutes.


    To him, it felt like it had been only a couple of minutes, but he didn''t have any idea how long he had been in his current situation.


    When his thoughts started wandering away, and thoughts of logging off appeared, he felt a difference.


    His body didn''t feel like it was floating anymore. Instead he felt wind brushing through his body, which also made his white hair flutter.


    He tried to smell the air, but it was difficult at first, but he managed to take one sniff, and he felt very weird.


    It wasn''t simr with White Online''s air; instead very identical to a real-life one.


    ''What is happening!'' He screamed inwardly and wanted the bright light to disappear!


    After having eyes closed for so long and only bright light to apany him, he started having a piercing headache, with his dark vision bing a mix of red and yellow.


    It was one of the worst experiences he has ever faced, but soon his prayers were answered, and he felt the wind slowing down, but he also felt his body slowing down.


    Soon, the intensity of the bright light started dimming down until it was gone, and he felt his feetnding on the floor.


    ''''Finally, I will have to report this bug.'''' He said with annoyance and slowly opened his eyes.


    At first, he had difficulties seeing and still saw a mix of red and yellow on his vision, but after rubbing his eyes and getting used to seeing again, he finally could see properly.


    The first thing he saw was a wooden desk and a window behind it. The window showed a moon in the sky and a dark sky.


    The curtains were wide open, but what shocked him was exactly the wooden desk and the curtains.


    They looked exactly the same as his real-life ones!


    He also saw his locked cab and his bookshelf.


    ''''Did I log out?'''' Isaac felt very strange and thought that as the possibility, but still had no idea why he was standing and not lying on the bed.


    He scratched his silky white hair and turned around to see his bed, but soon his body froze.


    In the bed, there was a young man lying with some kind of headgear surrounding his head. His white hair was very noticeable, and the lower half of his face was visible, which showed his lips and chin.


    ''''W-What?'''' Isaac staggered backwards and thought that he was dreaming, but even after pinching his hands, nothing changed.


    He looked at his own outfit and was still wearing the Camouge outfit.


    Looking at his own hands, he saw them trembling and almost felt his heart exploding.


    He quickly grabbed his chest and took deep breaths, ''There must be an exnation for all of this.''


    Inhaling and exhaling, he managed to calm down his heartbeat, but not fully.


    He slowly walked next to the bed and touched the young man''s finger, who seemed to be sleeping soundly.


    Once he touched the finger, he also had a weird sensation on his own finger.


    ''''Gulp...'''' He gulped down his saliva and decided to do one more experiment.


    He grabbed the young man''s white hair and started pulling it, but also, at the same time, he felt a sensation of someone pulling his own hair!


    That made everything clear, the young man who was lying on the bed was him!


    ''''H-How?'''' Isaac fell down on his butt, which caused a somewhat loud sound, but he didn''t have time to care as he was freaking out!


    ''This can''t be happening...'' He covered his face and pped his cheeks to get hisposure back.


    ''''Interface.'''' He wanted to make sure that he was still inside the game!


    Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him that showed his stats.


    He sighed in relief and saw a log-out button. He wanted to press it, but he didn''t want risk of his avatar suddenly disappearing from the real world.


    He has to know if this was another creation of Arthur, like a moon.


    Isaac turned his head and saw the door, which leads out of his room, and he wanted to know can his parents see him.


    But before leaving, he pressed a couple of buttons in front of him, which sucked his outfit inside his Inventory.


    He stood up from the floor and quickly put on a t-shirt and sweatpants, which fit his body perfectly.


    Next, he went to the mirror and looked at him; everything looked perfect, except his height, which was currently not as much as his real-life one.


    He doesn''t expect anyone to notice, but just in case, he took a couple of socks from the wardrobe and stuffed them inside his shoes, which he sometimes uses inside the mansion.


    These shoes were made by his mother and were specially made for him; it allows him to move inside the house without the worry of dirtying the floor.


    After stuffing a couple of socks inside, he put his feet inside the shoes and looked at the mirror. He looked slightly taller, but only slightly, but it was enough to cover the difference.


    Isaac took a deep breath and nodded, ''''Let''s do this!'''' He turned around and put his hand on the doorknob, which opened the door.


    Slowly, he opened his door and saw the corridor of his family''s mansion. Everything looked perfect, even the small dent on the wall, which was caused by his younger self.


    ''''Is this really...'''' Isaac took a loud gulp and was sure that Arthur couldn''t recreate everything with such uracy, but he still had to make sure!


    He left the room, leaving his real-life self lying on the bed.

 Chapter 184 - Two World’s Connected.

    Isaac looked around the corridors and remembered everything. Everything was perfect, even the flowers in the vase.


    This morning, servants changed to new ones.


    He went past Marvin''s room and heard the music booming inside, but Isaac kept walking and entered the stairs.


    He slowly walked down and soon entered the third floor. The long corridor and dozen doors came to view; he also saw few servants cleaning.


    Isaac took the first step on the third floor, and the servants instantly noticed him.


    ''''Young master.'''' They all smiled and nodded. They still remembered how their young master let them leave early so they could have more time with their families.


    They already felt respect for the young genius of the Whitelock family, but now they feel even deeper respect.


    Isaac looked at their faces for over a dozen seconds and recognized them.


    Young women who were getting such intense gaze by Isaac blushed and lowered their heads even more.


    The men also felt surprised to see Isaac not moving, and they paled as they thought they had done something wrong.


    But soon, they sighed a relief after Isaac continued his walk and entered the stairs, which led to the second floor.


    Soon, he reached the second floor and saw a simr sight of servants cleaning.


    ''''Young master.'''' They all bowed respectfully.


    ''''Yes...'''' Isaac scratched his head with disbelief and entered the stairs, which led to the first floor.


    One his feetnded on the first floor, he heard the sound of the TV from the living room, and a delightful scent wasing from the kitchen.


    Isaac looked at the ceiling, where a rare chandelier was hanging. It was a gift his mom received from a wealthy customer who had antique items, and it was one of a kind.


    It should be impossible to replicate without studying its craftmanship for weeks.


    Isaac continued his walk and entered the living room, where a single person was sitting on a couch and watching a TV show.


    The person was Isaac''s father, Maxwell.


    Maxwell turned his head after hearing footsteps and was surprised to see Isaac, ''''Isaac, are you done ying?''''


    ''''Dad..?'''' Isaac widened his eyes.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Maxwell furrowed his brows and felt that his son was slightly strange, ''''Is everything alright?''''


    ''''No...'''' Isaac shook his head, ''''This can''t be real!''''


    ''''What is it?'''' Now, Maxwell noticed that something was very wrong.


    Isaac ran to the couch and grabbed his father''s hand before starting to drag him.


    Maxwell was surprised after getting pulled up by Isaac and getting dragged, ''''Isaac, what is wrong?''''


    ''''Everything!'''' Isaac shouted and ran to the second floor while his father followed closely behind.


    Soon, they reached the fourth floor.


    Maxwell was still confused after taking the first steps on the fourth floor, but he was also serious after seeing Isaac''s panicking look.


    ''Did he break the VR Helmet?'' He paled and hoped that it wasn''t true.


    Getting second Mythical VR Helmet was harder to get than Mythical Legacy!


    Arthur made it obvious that only one in a family can have a Mythical VR Helmet, to make things fair for everyone.


    Every family has to choose one from their family, and usually, they will choose the one who has the highest level.


    That''s why there has beenpetition between family members since White Online was revealed because getting Mythical VR Helmet was a great honor and a way to increase strength by a dozen fold!


    Maxwell chose Isaac because he has great trust in him, but he had to make sure that he wanted to keep ying before giving the VR Helmet to him!


    If he stopped ying, the next choice would have been Marvin, who was as reckless as a person can get!


    Isaac opened his door and waved towards his father toe.


    Maxwell wondered what was the meaning of this and entered the room after Isaac.


    Isaac closed the door behind with a m and came face to face with confused Maxwell.


    ''''Son, what is it?'''' He asked, and Isaac pointed straight towards the bed.


    Maxwell turned his head and widened his eyes after seeing someone lying on the bed!


    ''''Someone is using your VR Helmet?!'''' He asked with a shock, but Isaac shook his head.


    ''''Eh?'''' Maxwell looked back and forth between bed and Isaac.


    Soon, he saw a small portion of white hair from the figure who was lying on the bed.


    He opened his eyes wide open and slowly walked towards the bed. Once he was right next to the bed, he saw the face underneath the headgear''s visor and recognized it as his son.


    He felt his legs going weak and couldn''t believe it, ''''Unbelievable...'''' He covered his mouth, and tears started brimming in his eyes.


    Isaac frowned, ''Did my dad not know after all?'' He thought that his father was shocked because there were suddenly two sons.


    Maxwell wiped his tears and turned back to Isaac, ''''You must be confused, right?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac widened his eyes in realization, and it seemed that his father knew after all!


    ''''I will answer your questions, but first.'''' Maxwell sat down on the bed and looked at Isaac''s face underneath the visor, ''''Tell me, how did you manage to cross the worlds?''''


    ''''Cross the worlds...'''' Isaac repeated the word and sat next to Maxwell.


    ''''First of all... I nned to teleport into my rented room with the help of Teleportation pearl.'''' After Isaac finished saying the first portion of his words, Maxwell already understood what had happened.


    ''''You were thinking about your real-life room and not your rented, right?'''' Maxwell asked and got a nod for the response.


    ''''First of all.'''' Maxwell took a deep breath and continued with something shocking, ''''World of Four Seasons and World of White is... Connected!''''


    ''''W-What!'''' Isaac eximed, ''''How?!''''


    ''''I will ask those questionster, but for now.'''' Maxwell looked to the air in front of him and bowed, ''''Arthur, my son will not tell anyone; I trust him way more than I would trust myself.''''


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock and looked around the room but didn''t see anyone.

 Chapter 185 - Legacy, Mythical, Pearl.

    In the Legacy Company''s Headquarters.


    Arthur smiled and closed theputer.


    ''''Eh, why did you stop watching?'''' Emilia asked with a frown.


    ''''It''s fine...'''' Arthur stood up and felt his body feeling lighter, ''''And... File a report that said that Code Red alert was because a bug appeared, but Arthur fixed it by himself.''''


    Emilia looked surprised but nodded, ''''Yes!''''


    Arthur put his hands on his pockets and left his office while humming a song.


    Emilia still looked confused and remembered the scene of Maxwell bowing towards the screen, and his mouth moved, but she didn''t know what he said because there wasn''t any sounding.


    But, she knew that Arthur was a master of lip reading, and he must have understood Maxwell perfectly.


    Emilia very desperately wanted to know what made Arthur so happy because even she can''t make him that happy, no matter what she does, and she started pouting as jealousy was growing inside her.


    But, she had to make a false report and send it to the board of Directors.


    ...


    Maxwell lifted his head and saw Isaac''s confused face.


    ''''Now, want to ask questions?'''' He asked but then reminded Isaac, ''''There are some questions I can''t answer yet.''''


    Isaac nodded and pondered what could be his first question, but soon a thought appeared on his mind.


    ''''Can everyone else teleport to the real world as well?''''


    Maxwell shook his head, ''''No, to enter the real world, you need to have a Mythical VR Helmet, a Teleportation Pearl, and Legacy.''''


    ''''B-But, I don''t have a legacy,'''' Isaac said with a slight stutter.


    Maxwell looked Isaac straight in the eye and asked, ''''Are you Legacy Contender?''''


    Isaac''s eyes widened in shock, which gave Maxwell the answer.


    He patted his son''s shoulder and said, ''''Because you are only Legacy Contender, you can''t stay in the real world for too long.''''


    ''''You mean...'''' Isaac looked at his own body lying on the bed, ''''I will soon be teleported away?''''


    ''''That''s correct.'''' Maxwell nodded and continued, ''''When you have Legacy, you can stay for longer periods of time, but it has limits since the avatars of White Online simply can''t handle the air of this world.''''


    Isaac nodded and then asked a second question, ''''Remember how my real-world self grew 5 centimeters out of nowhere?''''


    Maxwell nodded and then widened his eyes in shock, ''''Y-You mean?''''


    ''''I think it is because of White Online, what is the meaning of that?''''


    Maxwell sighed, ''''Once you get Legacy, you will see much bigger changes. Because you are only Legacy Contender, the changes are quite tame, but the Legacy will morph you into a simr being as the one, whom you got the Legacy from.''''


    ''''What do you mean by simr being?'''' Isaac asked, ''''Like, I will look simr as the legacy owner, or?''''


    Maxwell shook his head, ''''No, if your Legacy Owner is skinny as a skeleton, you can still look like a bodybuilder.''''


    ''''Then what did you mean?''''


    ''''You will inherit the Legacy Owner''s skills and will. Those will be deeply rooted in your bones, and you can''t get rid of them. If someone gets evil Legacy, most likely that person itself will be evil.''''


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock and now kept wondering was getting Legacy really good idea if he will change because of it.


    ''''Does everyone who got Legacy to have effects on the real world?'''' Isaac asked, ''''Won''t that cause massive chaos?''''


    Maxwell shook his head, ''''No... That''s where Mythical VR Helmetes. Arthur made it so that only Mythical VR Helmet can affect the real world and not any other Helmet. Users of Legendary Helmet will be very ordinarypared to Mythical users.''''


    Isaac took a deep breath and nodded.


    ''''Any other questions?'''' He asked onest time.


    Isaac pondered for quite some time before asking, ''''Why? Howe White Online is connected with our world?''''


    ''''I am sorry... But I can''t answer that.'''' Maxwell said and stood up.


    He gave a few pats on Isaac''s shoulder and said, ''''Answers will be revealed in the future.'''' He started walking towards the door but soon heard another question from Isaac.


    ''''In White Online, I visited a moon, and I saw our world from there...'''' Isaac turned his head to look at his father, ''''Was I really in the moon?''''


    Maxwell opened the door and took one step out of the room before answering, ''''Yes.''''


    *Bam*


    The door closed after he left, leaving shocked Isaac behind.


    ''''Unbelievable...'''' Today, Isaac''s sense of realism was lifted upside down.


    ''''I wonder do I want the Legacy anymore... What if it will change me until I am no longer... Me...'''' Tomorrow will be the Legacy Tournament, and only 15 hours or so before itmences, Isaac started having doubts.


    He put his hands to cover his face and felt scared of him changing to something he wasn''t, but then thoughts about losing in the tournament also appeared on his mind.


    ''''That''s right... What chances do I actually have in a victory.'''' Isaac chuckled and shook his head, thinking he was foolish of even thinking like he had already won.


    ''''Maybe I should join for experience...'''' He shrugged, and thoughts about almostpletely abandoning the tournament also appeared on his head.


    Soon, his thoughts were interrupted as he saw his hands bing transparent!


    He looked at his hands and saw them bing pixels!


    ''''I am getting teleported away!'''' Isaac didn''t want to leave yet, but his avatar didn''t listen to him and started turning into pixels quicker.


    He stopped struggling and waited for him to turnpletely into pixels. His fingers and toes were already turned into pixels, but then he had a thought on his mind.


    ''I wonder, is that possible...'' He turned to look at his own face underneath the visor and quickly said, ''''Interface.''''


    A holographic screen appeared, and he used his head to m it on the Inventory button.


    He used his teeth to grab an item from the Inventory and dropped it down on the bed.


    It was the Flintlock Pistol... His first ever proper weapon alongside the slingshot.


    ''''Don''t disappear...'''' He hoped, and soon half of his body was turned into pixels, while there was nothing happening on the Flintlock Pistol.


    ''''Ah, right!'''' He once again used his teeth and took a leather pouch from the Inventory, and dropped it next to Flintlock Pistol.


    It was a leather pouch that contained Flintlock Pistol''s bullets.


    His body soon turned into pixels andpletely disappeared from the World of Four Seasons.


    While.... The Flintlock Pistol and the leather pouch were still there!

 Chapter 186 - Flintlock Pistol In The Real World!

    *Bam!*


    ''''Agh!'''' A grunt of pain appeared in a small room, which had a bed, a wooden desk, and a window that showed a beautiful view of Stronglord City.


    Isaac rubbed his painful butt after crashing down on the wooden floor.


    He looked around the room and was surprised to see him being in his rented room and not in the Wild West vige.


    He soon remembered the world-changing event that happened to him, and first, he thought it was a dream, but then he remembered leaving the Flintlock Pistol there.


    ''''Interface,'''' Isaac murmured and went straight towards the Inventory.


    He looked around the Inventory but only saw one Flintlock Pistol and not the second!


    ''''It wasn''t a dream...'''' He took a deep breath and stood up from the floor, only to sit back down on the bed.


    ''''Hahaha...'''' A chuckle escaped his mouth, and soon he wasughing until tears left his eyes.


    ''''Hahaha...'''' He took deep breaths, which calmed down hisughter, and heid down on the bed to look straight at the ceiling, ''''Madness... Absolute madness.''''


    Soon, he became even more sure that it wasn''t a dream after seeing the outfit he was wearing. He was wearing the t-shirt and sweatpants he got from the real world!


    ''''Heh...'''' He touched the texture of his t-shirt, and it was exactly the same.


    ''''No reason to stay here,'''' Isaac said and wanted to wake up in the real-world and see the Flintlock Pistol lying on the bed, right next to his feet.


    ''''Interface.'''' An holographic screen appeared in front of him, and he didn''t waste any more time as he pressed [Log Out]


    His body started once again turning into pixels, and soon Isaac disappeared from the World of White once again.


    ...


    In the real world.


    Isaac''s eyes opened with a m, and he quickly pressed a button on the side of his Mythical VR Helmet, and soon the lights stopped shing.


    The ck skinsuit around his body was sucked inside his headgear, and after that happened, he took off his headgear and put it gently on the bed.


    He sat up and looked straight at the end of his bed, where two items were lying.


    A smile appeared on Isaac''s face as he recognized the two items!


    He grabbed the first item, which was mostly in the color of brown. He touched the hard texture and also trailed his finger on the metallic barrel.


    It was the first weapon he bought, Flintlock Pistol!


    He snatched the leather pouch and looked inside. He saw around 50 Flintlock bullets, and they had a different kind of smell than in White Online.


    In White Online, they smelled like gunpowder, but here, they had a different kind of scent, like something was burning.


    He took one of the bullets into his hand and rolled it around. It had a very smooth texture, almost like it was a marble.


    *nk*


    He used his thumb and opened the Flintlock Pistol''s chamber. He moved the bullet closer to the chamber and put it slowly inside.


    *nk*


    A sound of nking appeared, and the bullet was a perfect fit. He closed the chamber and had a desperate need to try the Flintlock Pistol out, but it would be madness to try it inside the house!


    But he knows perfectly where he can try it out.


    He took the bullet off the chamber and put it back inside the leather pouch, so he doesn''t actually fire it, or worse, at someone!


    Isaac turned around and grabbed his headgear; with swift moves, he put it back inside the ck box and stored it inside his wardrobe.


    Once he was done, he started wearing something warmer, because he would go out!


    He grabbed a grey-colored sweater and put it on, but then he remembered that he needed to hide the Flintlock Pistol somewhere.


    He doesn''t have an Interface in his possession anymore, which can be used to easily hide the weapon.


    ''''That''s right!'''' He started moving the hundreds of clothes to the side, and from the back of the wardrobe, he grabbed a veryrge jacket that looked like it could be a size of five jackets!


    This was a jacket his mother gave him for extra safety for cold.


    When he was wearing that, he didn''t feel cold, instead, he was boiling inside!


    Isaac had shivers when he remembered when his mother forced him to use it, but this time, it came to use.


    He put it down and closed it with the help of a zipper and instantly felt sweat pouring down on his back.


    ''''Jeez...'''' Looking at the ck-colored jacket, instead of looking slim as he used to, now he looked like a stuffed balloon.


    He grabbed the Flintlock Pistol and Leather pouch and hid them inside the jacket. He had to tie them to his chest, which was easier said than done, but soon he achieved that feat.


    ''''Time to go.'''' He did a firm nod and left his room, and ran to the first floor.


    His movement looked slightly sluggish, with sweat pouring down his face.


    Once he reached the first floor, he went straight to the shoe rack and grabbed his shoes before putting them on.


    ''''Isaac, where are you going?'''' Suddenly, Isabe appeared from the kitchen and was surprised to see Isaac wearing the jacket she had made specially for him.


    She felt emotional, ''''Oh, Isaac.'''' Tears started brimming in her eyes, ''''You are finally using it!''''


    Isaac wryly smiled and opened the door, ''''I will return in an hour!''''


    ''''B-But, food is soon ready!'''' He heard her mother shouting, but he had already left the mansion.


    ''''I will eat leftovers!'''' He shouted back and ran out of the mansion''s premises, and without waiting for bodyguards to follow him, he had already ran to the distance.


    Michael soon appeared on the gates and anxiously looked back and forth but didn''t see Isaac anywhere.


    ''''Oh no...'''' His shoulders slumped, and turned around to see angry Isabe standing in the doorway.


    ''''Why are you here?'''' She asked with coldness.


    Michael trembled under her scary look, ''''U-U-U-Uhh...''''


    ''''Make sure my precious boy will be fine!'''' She pouted and closed the door, leaving pale Michael behind.


    ''''Isaac... Why are you doing this to me...'''' He felt like crying, and now he has to find Isaac with some miracle.


    But, he had no clue that Isaac didn''t run far away.


    Instead, there was a forest right next to the neighborhood, and it was the same forest where Isaac got lost when the dangerous snowstorm struck the peacefulmunity of Snowstar.

 Chapter 187 - Flintlock Pistol’s Differences.

    ''''Huff... Huff...'''' Isaac walked in the dark forest, his feet being surrounded by the piles of snow, and the moving was getting increasingly more difficult with each passing moment.


    ''''Haahhhh...'''' He took a deep breath and looked around where he was.


    He was surrounded by dozens of trees and a rock boulder not far from him.


    Isaac''s eyes sparkled as he saw the rock boulder, ''''I have arrived...'''' He started moving his legs and pushed the snow to the side as he started getting near the boulder.


    Once he reached the boulder, he wiped the snow from the surface and saw some kind of scribbles on the surface.


    He trailed his finger on the initials and wiped the rest of the snow that covered them.


    The initials were I.V.W.


    ''''Isaac... Vayne... Whitelock.'''' Isaac put his palm on the surface of the rock boulder and remembered the time when he wrote those initials on the rock boulder.


    It was only moments ago when history''s most disastrous snowstorm appeared, and Isaac got lost in the forest.


    He barely remembers anything from that day, and it was like every memory that happened for the next few days after writing the initials were erased.


    ''''Nostalgia...'''' He removed his hand from the boulder and grabbed his Flintlock pistol from the jacket. A cold air left his lungs as his heart started beating out of excitement.


    He took his leather pouch from the jacket and strapped it next to his waist like he had done countless times on White Online.


    ''''No one should hear it from all the way here...'''' Isaac murmured under his breath, and he was around a kilometer away from nearby civilization, which made him more confident to use this as a testing ground.


    He was wearing open-finger gloves that didn''t cover his fingertips. It made it easier for him to use Flintlock Pistol; that''s why he chose it, even though his fingers were starting to get colder.


    He grabbed a bullet from the leather pouch and stuffed it inside the Flintlock Pistol''s chamber.


    ''''Haahhh...'''' Isaac took another puff of cold air and finally aimed the Flintlock Pistol towards the tree that was 20 meters away.


    It seemed very natural like he had done it hundreds of times.


    His finger slowly approached the trigger, and soon his cold fingertip touched the metallic texture of the trigger.


    ''''Haahhh...'''' He took a quick breath and calmed down his trembling body.


    With hisst remaining hand, he unbuttoned the jacket so that he could breathe more freely.


    Soon, his arm stopped trembling, and he was ready to fire.


    His face turned into absolute concentration, and his body stopped moving. Small snowkes floated around Isaac''s body, almost making a miniature tornado.


    But they weren''t disturbing his attention even the slightest.


    He was ready to shoot and see was it any different than ingame.


    More strength appeared on his fingertip as he started slowly squeezing the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    A loud menacing sound appeared in the dark forest, which caused a few small avnches around the ce where Isaac was.


    The bullet left the barrel like a cannon, and it didn''t even take a second for it to arrive on the tree trunk.


    *BAM!*


    The bullet effortlessly destroyed a big portion of the tree trunk.


    Broken pieces of the tree flew around, almostnding all the way where Isaac was.


    ''''Argh!'''' Isaac suddenly had a grunt of pain as he grabbed his arm, which was aching after firing the gun.


    ''''That''s... More painful than I expected.'''' He moved his arm around and felt the recoil spreading more pain than he at first expected.


    His body was weaker than his White Online avatar, but he didn''t expect it to have such a big difference.


    He was using Flintlock Pistol when his level wasn''t that high, and his body wasn''t that strong, but there was still a massive difference.


    After the pain had reduced slightly, he wanted to test if the Flintlock Pistol had a simr cooldown as ingame.


    He grabbed another bullet from the leather pouch and was trying to put it inside the chamber.


    But, when the bullet was about to enter the chamber, a familiar nking noise didn''t appear. Instead, the bullet seemed very loose inside the chamber.


    Isaac frowned and used his thumb to push it deeper, but the bullet didn''t get stuck inside like it was supposed to.


    ''''What the hell...'''' He scratched his head out of frustration and tried for another 10 to 20 seconds until finally, a nking sound appeared, and the bullet went into position like it was supposed to.


    It wasn''t Isaac''s doing. Instead, the bullet seemed like a ma that went into the right position without him having to do anything.


    ''''It has been exactly 30 seconds after I fired...'''' Isaac sighed deeply and was fascinated that the Flintlock Pistol had the same cooldown system, but it worked differently.


    Inside White Online, he can''t even open the chamber when it''s on cooldown, but in real life, he can, but he can''t put the bullet inside the chamber properly.


    Small changes, but huge differences.


    Isaac wiped the snow from the top of the Flintlock Pistol after snowkes started piling up.


    He looked towards the dark sky and saw snowkes dropping with greater intensity with each passing moment.


    He has gotten used to snowing randomly, but he wanted the weather to stay calmer for half an hour at least, but he didn''t get his wish.


    Isaac decided to do one final test.


    The Flintlock Pistol was aimed straight towards a tree branch, which was very skinny and seemed to be a target that was difficult to hit even with luck.


    But, Isaac doesn''t like to rely on luck; instead on his own skills, and that''s exactly what he was doing.


    His fingertip once again touched the hard and somewhat cold metallic trigger.


    He slowly squeezed, and once again, the recoil made him take a step backward, but this time, Isaac was ready for the pain and managed to make his arm stiff before the shockwave of the recoil could damage him anymore.


    The bullet flew through the air and even crushed a few snowkes on pieces.


    It''s target, the tree branch was getting nearer and... The result was satisfactory.


    *Bam!*


    The bullet split the tree branch in half and kept flying until it was out of view.

 Chapter 188 - Tomorrow Another Challenge Awaits.

    *Crunch*


    *Crunch*


    A white-haired figure with an oversized winter jacket appeared from the dark forest. His face showed initial excitement of having a sessful testing session, but also exhaustion started catching up.


    It was mostly mental exhaustion.


    He started the day with his stream and felt very nervous because of it, which made him already exhausted for not trying to embarrass himself.


    Next, he went to the building, Game Lord''s Mysteries, and met with Loki there.


    He managed to win his opponent andstly won thepetition. That also brought him to the edge of the exhaustion after being so near death, but he survived.


    Isaac also remembered the scene of him almost dying to Loki; even though he didn''t see him attacking, but he knew that his death wasn''t far away.


    After he left the Game Lord''s Mysteries, he ended up at Forest of Unknown, and that''s where the trouble appeared.


    With not-so-great luck, he got teleported at the edge of the Outer Area, and he wasn''t aware of it!


    He wandered inside the Inner Area without having any clue and found a Wild West Vige.


    That''s where a few hours of survivalpetition began. He had to survive against deadly attacks of the Tail Spirit, and because he wanted to experience adventure, he jumped inside the hole, which he regretted quickly afterward, but not anymore.


    He managed to increase his levels like never before.


    Inside the hole, he finally became disgusted by insects after meeting with the Unknown Centipede.


    After surviving the deadly encounters, he identally teleported to his real-life room and had his entire understanding of reality lifted upside down.


    And now... Finally, he finished his experiment and left the forest, where he had countless memories.


    His legs felt heavy, but he was only a few hundred meters away from the Neighborhood''s gates.


    He almost dragged his legs behind him as he started approaching the gates.


    There were pair of Guards, who Isaac remembered fromst year when he still went to school.


    The Guards nodded towards Isaac and opened the gates without any hup.


    Isaac nodded towards them and was lucky that Guards, whom he had a solid rtionship with was on the guard duty and not the assholes who wouldn''t let him enter.


    He appeared next to metal gates, which belonged to another household, but suddenly the metal gates opened, and a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared with a dog, who was on the leash.


    She looked very gentle with heavy winter clothing and flowy blond hair that reached all the way to her lower back. Hundred out of hundred would be almost certain that she was a model of some sort, but Isaac knew that she was only ordinary housewife.


    ''''Isaac.'''' She said with a gentle smile and giggled after seeing Isaac''s oversized jacket, ''''Did your mom force you to wear it?''''


    Isaac wryly smiled and stepped to the side, so she could leave the house''s premises without him blocking the way, ''''No, Rachel. Believe it or not, but it was my own choice.''''


    ''''Ohh.'''' Rachel looked surprised and was dragged behind by the dog that suddenly appeared next to Isaac and started sniffing his clothes.


    ''''Hey, Vayne.'''' Isaac crouched and patted the soft fur of the dog, whose name was simr with his second name, Vayne.


    ''''Did you visit somewhere?'''' Rachel asked curiously.


    ''''Yeah, went for a walk.'''' Isaac cooked up a simple lie and trailed his palm on Vayne''s soft orangish fur.


    Rachel tapped her chin and didn''tpletely believe that exnation. She had a hunch that there was something else.


    ''''My mom is probably getting anxious¡ª it was nice to see you again.'''' Isaac stood up and patted the snow from his pants, which were dirtied after his knees touched the snowy ground.


    Rachel smiled and waved her hand, ''''Same, and remember, my invitation to visit our home is still there, so don''t be shy.'''' She turned around and started running away with Vayne.


    Her flowy blond hair fluttered back and forth, making a gorgeous scene.


    Isaac turned his head and saw a middle-aged man leaving the mansion through the door.


    ''''Yo Tom!'''' Isaac waved his hand towards Rachel''s husband.


    Tom was a man of around 180cm of height with short brown hair and a somewhat average face. He wasn''t exactly muscr or athletic, but lean and slight signs of muscles appearing were seen around his arms.


    His eyebrows were quite unique, slightly curved, which gave him a look of gentleness, and Isaac knows exactly that was his personality, which also attracted a woman like Rachel to be on his side for the rest of their life.


    Many could say that Tom struck a jackpot, but he had always been hardworking and managed to climb out of poverty by himself.


    He reminded a lot of Isaac''s mother, Isabe, who was from simr living conditions as Tom.


    That''s why Tom and Isabe are good friends, which almost made their families close with each other.


    Tom heard a familiar sound, which he recognized instantly.


    He smiled and looked towards the metal gates, ''''Yo, Isaac.'''' He waved his hand and continued his walk towards the garage.


    Isaac didn''t stay any longer and left after saying his greetings.


    He soon arrived at the metal gates, which led to his family''s mansion.


    There was already someone waiting for him.


    Michael was looking pale and could finally rx after seeing Isaac appearing.


    ''''Come on, young master.'''' He sighed deeply, ''''Why are you doing this to me?''''


    ''''Heh, mother is just scaring you.'''' Isaac walked through the gates and said, ''''You won''t be fired... Maybe.''''


    Those words didn''t make Michael any rxed, and with slumped shoulders, he started walking towards the secondary building, where bodyguards were on standby.


    Isaac entered the mansion and put the shoes on the shoe rack, and took off the jacket, which made him feel boiled inside.


    His back and chest were drenched in sweat, even though he spent almost an hour outside, and it was cold enough for many to wear clothing which was as warm as possible.


    But, the oversized jacket was hotter than needed.


    For the next half an hour, Isaac had to exin what he was doing, and after the interrogation session, he went to his room and lied down on the bed.


    It took him only a few seconds before he fell into a deep slumber.


    Tonight, he will have a very deep sleep, but tomorrow... Another challenge awaits him.


    A challenge called Legacy Tournament!

 Chapter 189 - Day Of The Tournament.

    Next morning.


    The day of the Tournament.


    In Isaac''s room.


    A shimmer of light pierced through narrow gaps of the curtains and lightened the room in bright sunlight.


    The light reached therge and soft-looking bed, but it was empty, utterly void of any life.


    The nket covered the whole bed; it didn''t have any wrinkles or signs of anyone ever sleeping in it!


    *Creak*


    Suddenly, a sound came from the direction of the desk.


    In front of a desk, a white-haired young man was sitting while a notebook was in front of him.


    He had a pencil between his thumb and index finger, which was moving like a streak of lightning as more words were appearing on the notebook''s paper.


    ''''And¡­ Done!'''' He did the final straight line on the notebook, separating the top and bottom parts.


    The top part had a gun drawing, which somewhat resembled a Musket Rifle.


    In the middle of the paper was the straight line and finally, at the bottom part had thousands of words.


    After he was done, he put his pencil down on the desk and closed his notebook.


    *Crack*


    He cracked his knuckles and rxed his muscles, which were starting to feel stiff after writing over an hour.


    He grabbed the pencil from the desk and threw it without even looking where.


    Without even looking at the cupboard in the distance, the pencil he threw went inside the cupboard and perfectlynded on the small stic cup.


    He didn''t even think how impossible his feat was; it was like his precision was otherworldly.


    After putting the notebook inside the cab, he locked it tightly and hid the silver key inside a book.


    He took a phone from his phone and checked the time, ''''1 hour left.'''' He murmured and decided to take a quick breakfast before entering White Online.


    He left the room and went straight to the first floor, where a scent of food was already tickling Isaac''s senses.


    Isaac entered the dining room and saw his father and brother talking about something.


    ''''Good morning.'''' He said and sat down on a chair that was right next to his father''s.


    ''''Morning, Lil bro,'''' Marvin said and looked tired for some reason.


    ''''Morning,'''' Maxwell said and had obvious signs of annoyance after talking with Marvin.


    ''''What is it?'''' Isaac saw some tension in the air and wondered what caused it.


    Maxwell crossed his arms, having no intention to reveal, but Marvin was utterly different.


    ''''You won''t believe this.'''' Marvin dramatically said and soon continued, without letting his father stop him.


    ''''My friends and I reached Stronglord yesterday.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac looked surprised but wondered what was the result for such tension.


    ''''Wait for it¡­'''' Maxwell whispered and rubbed his forehead as a small headache made his head hurt.


    Marvin grinned and said, ''''We saw a few arrogant guys, I think they were Carriage Drivers, and they were not letting us enter because we looked filthy or some shit like that.''''


    Isaac nodded and kept listening.


    ''''We thought why the fuck they were so arrogant.'''' Marvin saw Isaac nodding, which made him continue.


    ''''We managed to sneak inside the City after being chased off by the Guards because somehow the Carriage Drivers managed tomand them.


    ''''So, we sneaked inside the City when it became dark, and the first thing we did was to go find the Carriages, they use to drive.'''' A grin appeared on his face as he remembered vividly what they did.


    Maxwell facepalmed.


    Isaac had a small smile and knew where this was going.


    ''''We broke the tires of the Carriages and freed all the horses!'''' Marvin startedughing, but then hisughter died down as he grimaced, ''''But we are now chased by every Guard in the City, and we had to leave Stronglord, that''s why I didn''t get a wink of sleep!''''


    ''''Why can''t you behave for once?'''' Maxwell asked with a tired look, ''''Look at Isaac, he hasn''t probably done anything bad, right?'''' He and Marvin looked towards Isaac.


    ''''Well¡­'''' Isaac wryly smiled, ''''Sure¡­''''


    ''''See.'''' Maxwell said while pointing at Isaac, ''''You should be the big brother, not the other way around.''''


    ''''Tsk.'''' Marvin looked away and said, ''''It is only a game, what is the big deal?''''


    Maxwell and Isaac had eye contact for a split second, and both of them decided not to tell Marvin yet; there wille a day when everyone will know.


    Soon, Isabe arrived with food, and Isaac stuffed as much as he could inside his mouth.


    After twenty minutes, he was done and returned to his room.


    Inside his room, he went to the wardrobe and grabbed the ck box, which was storing the Mythical VR Helmet.


    After opening the box and taking the VR Helmet, he lied down on the bed and covered his eyes with the headgear.


    After taking a couple of tiny breaths, he pressed the small button and saw the lights shing in front of him.


    Soon, the ck skinsuit appeared all around his body.


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Legacies Awaits You!]


    Isaac''s face became emotionless, and his body stopped moving as he entered the World of White.


    [Game: White Online - Status: Excellent]


    ¡­


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Isaac opened his eyes with dinging noise ringing on his ears.


    ''''What is this noise¡­'''' He covered his ears and wondered where the noise came from, but it seemed to being inside his mind.


    It sounded vastly different from the ordinary dinging noise thates with notifications.


    [Legacy Tournament will soonmence!]


    [yer Wraith, prepare yourself!]


    [Legacy Tournament Commences in 32 minutes 35 seconds]


    [Contenders: 112]


    Soon, the dinging noise disappeared, and another shock was ahead as Isaac saw the number of contenders.


    ''''112¡­ That is insane.'''' The chances of winning were now lower than 1%, but Isaac didn''t mind and decided to give his everything.


    He will be nervous and worried if he wins, but he won''t mind too much and will ept his fate if he loses.


    ''''Time to do final preparations¡­'''' Isaac murmured and stood up from his bed.


    He left his rented room and went straight towards the bottom floor. He learned from his mistake that he needs food so that he won''t always have to log out to eat.


    And, he has a hunch that the Legacy Tournament will take a while, especially with 112 participants.

 Chapter 190 - Tournament Commences.

    ''''Be?'''' Isaac entered the kitchen and saw the familiar sight of a ck-haired girl dancing around the kitchen while she was doing her magic, called cooking.


    After smelling the scent of the food she was making, he was amazed because it felt like she had improved her cooking again!


    ''''Oh, good morning.'''' Be smiled and turned around to see Isaac''s satisfied look as he smelled the cooking.


    She shyly smiled and said, ''''Food will be ready soon.''''


    Isaac nodded and took a glimpse of the refrigerator, ''''I will be out for the whole day. Can I take a few snacks with me?''''


    ''''Of course.'''' Be hopped towards the fridge and opened it.


    Isaac grabbed a stic bag and offered it to Be, who caught it with a smile and started stuffing food inside until it was almostpletely filled.


    ''''Here!'''' She gave it to Isaac, who took it with gratitude and put it inside his Inventory.


    ''''I am so envious.'''' She suddenly said after seeing Isaac storing the stic bag inside some invisible space.


    ''''Why aren''t any of you surprised that yers are able to do it?'''' Isaac curiously asked and took a seat at the table.


    ''''Well.'''' Be tapped her chin and shrugged, ''''It''s a very normal, quite weird question, hehe.'''' She gave a small giggle.


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Isaac asked with curiosity rising inside him.


    ''''Silly, it''s like you are asking how people are able to breathe.'''' She tapped Isaac''s forehead and hopped back to cooking.


    Isaac frowned and started thinking, ''So¡­ NPC''s think that yers'' able to store items is asmon as breathing¡­ Interesting.''


    Twenty minutester, Be finished cooking.


    Isaac quickly devoured the food, even though he felt crying doing so. He couldn''t even enjoy the excellent food.


    Be kept smiling the whole duration of the dinner and soon saw Isaac finishing.


    ''''Want more?'''' She asked and saw Isaac standing up.


    ''''It was delicious, but I have to go now,'''' Isaac said and nced at the notification that just popped up.


    [Legacy Tournament Commences in 2 minutes!]


    ''''Ah, I see.'''' Be smiled and waved her hand as Isaac rushed upstairs.


    Isaac soon entered his rented room and went straight to his bedroom.


    He sat down on the bed, which wasn''t as soft as his real-life bed, but still soft enough.


    A holographic screen was floating only a meters away from his face, showing the timer.


    [1:32]


    One minute and thirty-two seconds remaining.


    Isaac wanted to make sure that everything was perfect; he took his Musket Rifle and leather pouch from his Inventory.


    He touched the thin de of the Musket Rifle, which caused a small cut to appear on his fingertip, which soon had blue blood dripping down.


    ''''Sharp¡­ Good.'''' He moved the Musket Rifle around and looked inside the barrel, which wasn''t that dirty yet, but Isaac made a note on his mind to make sure to clean the barrel once he came back.


    It was shiny enough, and that made Isaac pleased.


    He tied it on his back, and his gazended on the leather pouch.


    He grabbed it and started counting the number of bullets he had.


    ''''88¡­ 89¡­'''' Isaac stopped his count at 89 and didn''t know whether that was enough, but he knows how to save his bullets if needed.


    The leather pouch was tied on his waist, and now, the timer didn''t have much left.


    [0:10]


    [0:09]


    Nine seconds remained.


    Isaac took a deep breath and kept his eyes open as the countdown was ticking down.


    [0:01]


    [0:00]


    [Legacy Tournament Commences!]


    [Good Luck, yer!]


    A bright light surrounded the bedroom, and five secondster, the light disappeared, but this time, the white-haired young man, that was only moments ago still sitting on the bed, had disappeared!


    ''''Isaac, is everything alright?!'''' Suddenly, a ck-haired young woman came anxiously after the terrifying bright light appeared.


    She opened the door to Isaac''s bedroom and saw an empty room, void of any life.


    ''''Eh¡­ He isn''t here?'''' She frowned and didn''t remember Isaac leaving through the front door.


    ''''Weird.'''' She shrugged and closed the door.


    ¡­


    Somewhere in White Online.


    On top of a massive mountain.


    There was a figure sitting on the top of arge snow pile. He had a white ski mask that covered almost all of his face.


    He was wearing a full white outfit that made him blend with the snow, and the person needs to have perfect eyesight if they want to get even a glimpse of this man.


    On top of his legs was a gun that resembled a lot of Musket Rifle, but it didn''t have the thin de, and it was much shorter as well.


    Around the mountain, a massive snowy forest was visible. Everywhere the man looked, there were trees, mountains, and snow, a lot of snow!


    ''''Champions of First Realm of Summer.'''' The man said with his powerful voice. No one knew where he was talking to, but he had a certain purpose with each word, ''''Wee to the Fourth Realm of Winter, the final realm before Realm where Gods live¡­''''


    He slowly stood up, crunching the snow below him with each movement.


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' He rubbed his left cheek and soon stood straight.


    He wasn''t exceptionally tall, even shorter than average height, but not even Gods would make fun of this man because they know the danger he possesses.


    ''''One of you will be my Legacy Carrier¡­ Carry my legacy with pride and failure isn''t an option.'''' He looked towards the distance, where bright lights appeared, ''''Protect whoever you want to protect, and never miss your shot.''''


    ''''Missing one shot is a mistake, two shots is a failure, the third shot will be your death.''''


    He closed his eyes and inhaled the cold air inside his lungs.


    He could feel exactly 112 presences, and now, only one thing was remaining before the Legacy Tournament could start.


    ''''Everyone, hear me!'''' The man''s voice echoed far and loud.


    Every single one heard his powerful voice.


    ''''Thest one to survive will be the victor and my Legacy Carrier¡ª best of luck to you all, and remember!''''


    A snowstorm suddenly started blowing around him as his body started bing transparent.


    ''''The bullet isn''t sniper''s greatest strength.''''

 Chapter 191 - Real-Life Mode.

    Isaac''s eyelids trembled as he slowly opened his eyes.


    The sight that greeted him was one of the snowy forest. Snow and trees were everything with a cold wind making his bangs flutter back and forth.


    An only moment ago, he heard a voice inside his mind, which was gone now. The voice told about the tournament and about the sniper''s greatest strengths.


    It made Isaac think.


    ''Bullet isn''t sniper''s greatest strength¡­'' His eyebrows furrowed as he thought about the meaning of those words.


    But then he remembered that it wasn''t time for daydreaming. He was on a battlefield, where a single mistake would cost him dearly.


    ''''Interface¡­'''' He murmured, and a familiar holographic screen appeared in front of him.


    Everything at first looked the same until he saw something different¡­


    [Legacy: Legacy Tournament Ongoing]


    [Legacy Rank: Mythical]


    [Contenders: 112]


    He closed the Interface after noticing that there wasn''t a time limit, but a new one showed the number of Contenders left.


    Isaac moved closer to a nearby tree.


    ''Now¡­ Where are we?'' He thought to himself and started climbing the tree, which was quite slippery especially the tree''s trunk.


    His feet kept slipping with each movement, but he used the branches to his advantage and soon reached the top.


    After reaching the top, his head managed to peek out from all the snowyyer that was gathered on top of the tree.


    He saw an endless amount of trees and snow, but in the distance, he saw tall mountains filled withyers of snow and dark gray sky covering the view.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Isaac shook his head after not finding what he was looking for. Being in the middle of a forest, with only trees as cover, wasn''t exactly what he wanted.


    He dropped down from the tree andnded on the snowy ground.


    The snow below his feet was quite solid, which didn''t hinder his movements, but there were snow piles in almost every ce of the forest.


    Even a few small hills made of pure snow were seen, which made Isaac wary because there were many possible hiding spots, and those are definitely what everyone will be looking at first.


    ''Maybe I should go to the mountains¡­ No, that''s a bad idea.'' Isaac erased his idea and decided to find a cave.


    Looking at his trembling fingers, he could feel that the temperature was decreasing.


    Soon it will be on a negative degree, which makes everyone anxious to look for caves or anything that can be used as cover from cold.


    *Beep* *Beep*


    Suddenly, a beeping sound appeared.


    Every yer had the same notification popping up in front of them.


    [Interface will be closed in 1 minute]


    Few yers didn''t care about that or didn''t understand what it truly meant for them.


    But, few smarter ones, like Isaac, understood.


    ''Damn!'' Isaac anxiously looked around him, and after making sure that no one was around, he opened his Interface and went straight towards Inventory.


    He grabbed the stic bags holding his food and took them out. He put them gently on the ground and looked around the Inventory for more items that could be used by him.


    He saw a glimpse of Teleportation Pearl but decided not to take it.


    Instead, he took out his Flintlock Pistol and all ammunition needed for it.


    Soon, a leather pouch, stic bag, and Flintlock Pistol was lying below his feet.


    *Beep* *Beep*


    [Interface has been closed!]


    Isaac sighed, ''I guess no one will be allowed to back out¡­'' He also noticed that because Interface can''t be opened, no one can Log Out either.


    But just to be sure, he tried opening Interface, ''''Interface.''''


    *Beep*


    [Interface has been closed!]


    After testing, Isaac turned his gaze towards the items in front of him.


    ''''I can''t take these with me, yet¡­'''' He noticed that he couldn''t carry Flintlock Pistol and the stic bag that was holding his food.


    ''''I need to find a cave and thene back for these¡­'''' Isaac came up with a n and took a glimpse of his surroundings.


    Once making sure that no one was close, he used his two hands and started digging a hole in the snowy ground.


    It was very difficult with bare hands, which caused him to use Musket Rifle''s de.


    The thin de made it easier, but he still had to use ten minutes to make a small hole that barely managed to hide the items.


    He stored the items inside the small hole and covered it with the snow.


    He had to take snow from nearby snow piles. Otherwise, the hole wouldn''t have been covered.


    *Tap* *Tap*


    With his right hand, he tapped the snow on the ground, and soon the hole was covered, with snow looking as solid as the rest of the ground.


    He used his Musket Rifle and carved a mark on the tree that was right next to the hole.


    [I.V.W]


    Isaac finished carving his initials on the tree and decided to look for the cave.


    He hoped that he would find nearby, so he won''t have to travel a long way to pick up his stuff.


    After realizing that no one will be able to log out, he knows how important food was, and everyone will be desperate sooner orter.


    But then, he remembered that he didn''t have a food problem when he had Bronze VR Helmet, but he was famished once he logged out.


    He started wondering whether anyone would even remember that their real-life bodies won''t get any food and might starve to death.


    He paled at possibilities, but soon, another notification popped up in front of all yers.


    [Real-Life Mode Activated!]


    [Hunger Mode Activated!]


    [Sleep Mode Activated!]


    [Cold Sensation Increased by 50%]


    [Pain Sensation Increased by 1%]


    Isaac widened his eyes and quickly started reading the descriptions.


    Soon, a sigh escaped his mouth as he knew how panicked most of the yers must be.


    Real-Life Mode puts everyone''s real-world bodies on the same condition as their avatar.


    If they get hungry, their real-world bodies will as well.


    If they feel pain, their real-world bodies will as well.


    If they get injured, they will receive the same injury in the real world.


    But, if they die, nothing will happen to their real-life bodies.


    Hungry Mode allows them to quench their avatar''s and real-world bodies'' hunger by eating in-game, like how Mythical VR Helmet works.


    Sleep Mode lets everyone sleep usually in-game, and everyone will feel the same sleepiness as in the real world.

 Chapter 192 - Snow Forest.

    ''''What?!'''' A shout echoed in the forest. The shout came from a young man, around 17s or 18s, with brown hair and Chain Armor covering his body.


    His face was pale as he looked at the descriptions of the notifications.


    ''''My avatar will be connected with my real-world body?! This is madness¡ª this must be a joke.'''' He scratched his head anxiously and came to the conclusion, ''''T-That''s right, there is no way it is so advanced, i-it must be a bluff!''''


    He nodded like he knew exactly what he was talking about.


    He was currently standing in the middle of a small area, which was void of any trees, which also meant that he didn''t have a lot of cover.


    A dozen meters away, there were few trees, but it could hardly be called as cover.


    ''''Right, I need to go hide.'''' The young man made up his mind and then remembered to reload his weapon, which was an ordinary Flintlock Pistol.


    ''''Interface.'''' He said aloud and waited for the holographic screen to pop up, but instead, a different kind of notification did.


    *Beep*


    [Interface has been closed!]


    The young man blinked dumbly and then remembered¡­


    ''''N-No!'''' He screamed with disbelief, ''''Interface!'''' He screamed this time.


    *Beep*


    [Interface has been closed!]


    ''''No!'''' The young man couldn''t believe it and looked inside Flintlock Pistol''s chamber.


    It was empty¡­


    He forgot that he used Inventory as storing ce for his bullets, and hepletely forgot that he needed to open Interface to ess it.


    ''''I am so dead!'''' He screamed and fell down on his knees, ''''This was my chance¡­ Chance to be famous, fuck!''''


    Hepletely stopped caring if anyone heard him and started throwing a tantrum.


    His screams of rage and frustration echoed far away.


    A minuteter.


    ''''Ah¡­ Wait¡­'''' After getting back hisposure, he remembered that there was a way to get bullets.


    By stealing them from other yers!


    ''''Yes!'''' The young man cheered and stood up, ''''I am so smar¡ª''''


    *BANG!*


    A bullet pierced through the young man''s skull, killing him instantly.


    His body didn''t turn into pixels, instead stayed on the snowy ground.


    Soon, a dark-cloaked figure came and looked at the young man''s corpse.


    ''''He had nothing?'''' He thought aloud at first but then saw the Flintlock Pistol, ''''Hmph, poor.'''' The dark-cloaked figure left instantly the exposed ce, feeling very annoyed that he didn''t find what he was looking for.


    Food!


    ¡­


    A white-haired youth was slowly moving between trees, making sure that he had cover at all times.


    He hadn''t met anyone so far and knew that it was only a matter of time before he had to either kill someone or die trying.


    He had been on the move for around half an hour and was skeptical whether this forest had any caves and had thoughts about going to the mountains.


    But soon, he received his answer about whether he should go or not.


    In the distance, behind the trees, was a small mountain, not taller than 20 meters.


    A thickyer of snow covered it, and ice was forming around the surface.


    But, he wasn''t concentrating on the mountain itself, instead on the small snow pile behind the trees.


    There were few gaps on the snow, which were soon covered after anotheryer of snow was piled on top.


    But, he managed to get a glimpse of something behind the snow pile. It wasn''t a mountain wall, instead something else.


    Isaac became curious and walked slowly, dodging the twigs on the ground and went past the trees.


    Soon, he reached the snow pile that was specially gathered on this specific spot.


    He touched the snow pile with his bare hand and stuck it inside. Soon, his whole arm was covered in the snow, but then he felt his fingertips exiting the snow pale and didn''t feel anything obstructing a path.


    He didn''t feel the mountain wall or anything that could be stopping him from entering the interior of the mountain.


    Without caring, he used his body and walked through the snow pile, which made him covered in snow.


    The first thing he saw was a dark ce with rocky walls. Isaac was relieved that he actually managed to find a cave, but after looking around the surroundings, it wasn''t exactly perfect for hiding.


    He doesn''t think it would be difficult to find the cave he was in, especially with the snow pile gone.


    But still, he decided to camp here for the time being.


    Isaac first made sure that there wasn''t anything unexpected inside the cave.


    The end of the cave wasn''t that far away from the entrance, but Isaac found something that would help him after all.


    If a yer walks straight for 10 meters from the entrance, there will be a wall blocking the path, and it looks like the end of the cave at first.


    But, without walking straight and instead of turning right on the 8-meter mark, there was another 10 meters of walking ahead.


    The cave''s interior was shaped like L-letter, giving Isaac an idea.


    If he hides at the end of the right turn, he would be much more safer.


    And, he knew precisely a way to keep him even safer.


    Isaac left the cave and looked around carefull.


    After ensuring that no one was around.


    He ran past the trees and appeared in the area, where over a dozen twigs and sticks was located.


    He grabbed them all and carried them all the way to the cave.


    He nned to use half of the twigs and sticks to light a campfire, but the rest will be used as an rm.


    Isaac crouched in front of the entrance and littered the ground with twigs. If someone enters the cave without permission, they won''t see the twigs that are covered in darkness and will step on them, which will make a loud enough noise for Isaac to react.


    Once he was satisfied with twig cements, he went back to the end of the cave and made a small campfire, but he didn''t light it up.


    He has to go fetch his food and the items he left behind.


    Isaac feels much safer inside the cave, but he will be in a big problem without food.

 Chapter 193 - King Of Campers.

    In a quiet part of the snow forest.


    A crouching figure was seen next to a tree that was entirely covered in snow.


    He was in a firing position while carrying a Musket Rifle. A thin de reflected the lighting from the sky, which was getting brighter after clouds started to part away.


    The crouching figure had a buzzcut hairstyle with bushy eyebrows and full lips. He looked far from attractive, and his bulky figure was not muscr, instead somewhat obese, around his waist.


    Every yer has noticed something else during their time in the snow forest.


    Name tags aren''t visible. Instead, they are invisible.


    Everyone has their nametes located on their chest''s.


    This crouching figure had one as well; his namete had words CrouchingKing.


    CrouchingKing took one small step forwards, but instantly he heard a loud banging noise.


    *BANG!*


    He quickly pulled his foot back and saw a bulletnding on the spot where his foot was only a second ago.


    ''''Damn¡­'''' He cursed with annoyance. CrouchingKing has been fighting against the same opponent for half an hour, and he was getting irritated because he still didn''t know where his opponent was!


    His opponent keeps changing positions, but not after every shot, instead at very random times.


    CrouchingKing doesn''t know whether he was wise or stupid.


    His opponent was risking everything to kill him, which wasn''t very smart. He had a hunch that more than one had already found out their general location, and they could be shot in the back at any moment now.


    It won''t be CrouchingKing who would be in danger. Instead, they go towards the noise.


    The noise wasing from his attacker.


    But still, looking around him, he was surrounded by four trees, and his back waspletely exposed.


    He will die instantly if even one persones from the south.


    His opponent didn''t seem to have any intention of stopping. Not caring about his bullets or anything whatsoever.


    ''He is fucking idiot¡­ No wonder Marksmen are called as worst yers because shitheads like them.'' CrouchingKing peeked behind the tree, trying to see where his opponent was, but he only saw a silhouette.


    He couldn''t see where his opponent was because another banging noise appeared.


    *BANG!*


    CrouchingKing quickly pulled his head back, and a bullet flew past the tree and struck another tree right behind him.


    He would have left already if he could, but there wasn''t enough to cover for him to run away without getting shot.


    He hates to admit it, but his opponents'' aim was terrifyingly good.


    Not a lot of activity was seen in his brain, but CrouchingKing has to admit that even he might not be as good as him when ites to aiming.


    Fifty meters away from CrouchingKing''s position.


    ''''I keep missing¡­'''' A youth with jet ck hair and an attractive face, which had still a little bit of baby fat, said.


    He was also holding a Musket Rifle, which was bingmon sight among Marksmen.


    After failing to kill his opponent one more time, he stood up and relocated.


    His next position was behind a small snow pile.


    He crawled all the way, soon arriving at the top of the snow pile.


    His namete that told his identity was soon covered in snow, but words could still be seen.


    The youth''s name was Camper.


    ''Next shot will kill him¡­'' Camper thought and put his finger, which was slightly trembling, on the trigger.


    The temperature was decreasing at an rming rate, which made him reluctant to stay here, but he had to kill his opponent!


    There was a simple reason for it.


    Greed!


    He was only 100 XP away from leveling up, and he wanted to reach level 25 and get his second skill.


    His rationality said that he should leave as quickly as possible, but another voice told him to keep camping!


    ''I am Camper¡­ King of Campers!'' With his finger on the trigger, he waited patiently, like a proper camper.


    The surroundings that were only a moment ago filled with loud banging sounds became quiet.


    A cold wind blew, making snowkes fly around beforending back on the ground.


    A small puff of cold air left Camper''s lungs, which was very noticeable.


    Fifty meters away from him.


    CrouchingKing did a quick peek and saw something with a glimpse.


    He was sure that he saw something smoking, but since it couldn''t be possible, he was convinced that it was his opponent breathing!


    Now, he knew where his opponent was.


    ''Between two trees, on top of a small snow pile¡­'' CrouchingKing smirked and put his finger on the trigger.


    Everything will depend on his speed!


    He knows that he can''t waste any more time and has to make his move!


    He took a step backward and was ready to shoot.


    CrouchingKing ns to reveal himself and aim straight towards the snow pile. He hopes that his opponent will be shocked and will dy his shot.


    It would give him more than enough time to deal a finishing blow.


    ''Let''s do this¡­'' CrouchingKing was more confident than ever, and then¡­ He did arge stride forwards.


    His bulky body left his hiding spot and became visible once again.


    He turned his Musket Rifle towards the ce where he expected his opponent to be and saw the thin de of Musket Rifle reflecting the light!


    It gave a harsh light that revealed Camper''s location to everyone near.


    ''Gotcha¡­'' CrouchingKing grinned and was ready to squeeze.


    But then¡­


    *BANG!*


    ''''Oh.'''' He noticed a smoke leaving his opponent''s barrel and saw a ck dot flying straight towards him.


    ''''Fucking, camp¡ª''''


    *SPURT!*


    A bullet pierced through CrouchingKing''s forehead, and his previous eyes that were full of life dimmed down considerably.


    *BAM!*


    His massive body, which was mostly fat, with few signs of muscles around his arms, fell down on the ground with a trail of blood leaving his forehead and staining the ground with the color of blue.


    Camper stopped aiming and snorted, ''''Easy. No one can defeat me, King Of Campers!''''


    *Ding* *Ding*


    He grinned after a notification popped up in front of him.


    [LEVEL UP!]


    He was about to stand up, but then a sound appeared.


    *BANG!*

 Chapter 194 - Hunter’s Daughter.

    *BANG!*


    ''''Eh?'''' Camper turned around, just in time to see a bullet flying straight towards him.


    ''''Hey, that''s cheati¡ª'''' Just like CrouchingKing''s, his words were also cut off.


    The bullet effortlessly pierced through his flesh and skull, killing him without any dy.


    Camper fell down on his stomach, with a trail of blood leaving his forehead.


    After he was dead for five more seconds, a cloaked figure appeared. At first nce, the figure was around 160cm in height and might be mistaken as a boy, but there was a slight bulge around the chest.


    It revealed the figure''s gender.


    She was surprisingly a girl.


    Her body was covered by a dark cloak and a hood thatpletely covered her face.


    A namete was also seen on her chest.


    [LotusOfDeath]


    Terrifying name, but this was indeed what she was.


    A terrifying individual that has never missed a shot so far.


    Her real-life identity was a hunter''s daughter, and since she was young, she used to apany her father and hunt for days.


    In the end, she surpassed her father and became the lead hunter in their family.


    Instead of feeling embarrassed, her father was proud, very proud.


    Their business became bustling because of her great skill in hunting, and she managed to hunt all sorts of animals.


    They sold their animal''s hide''s, skin, meat, fangs, everything they could get their hands on.


    At the present time, their family had be wealthy enough to be one of the leading meat suppliers.


    One week ago, White Online was revealed, and LotusOfDeath thought it was a nuisance and that she should focus on hunting.


    But, for some reason, her parents almost begged her to start ying. They looked desperate, like it would be something life-changing.


    She tried out and instantly chose Marksman ss.


    There was a Hunter ss, but she did research beforehand and knew that only Marksmen are allowed to use sniper-like weapons, which made her choose it.


    Everyone kept telling her how useless her ss was and no one would want her to their parties, but she didn''t want to join in the first ce.


    She has always been a loner and only liked to hunt with her father, but after surpassing him, she has liked to stay alone, only nature as her apany.


    Then, the first upload happened.


    After logging back on, she was greeted by something incredible.


    She was chosen as one of the Legacy Contenders, but she noticed that she was second to be selected; there was someone else before her.


    LotusOfDeath became curious about the identity of the person who was apparently better than her; she wanted to challenge that person and defeat him or her!


    She was a prime example that even females can be excellent Marksmen; she won''t instantly think that her opponent would be a male.


    It doesn''t matter if her opponent was male or female; she ns to defeat her opponent no matter what.


    She looked at Camper''s equipment and only grabbed his bullets, which she put inside a leather pouch that was hanging from her slender waist.


    After she was done, LotusOfDeath left without leaving any traces behind.


    Her dark cloak fluttered behind her as she ran like a st of wind.


    When she first became Legacy Contender, she only thought about the person chosen before her andpletely ignored the Legacy she would get from victory.


    She doesn''t think Legacy would make her a better hunter or sniper. Instead, she believes that with her own will, she can ovee anything.


    Soon, she reached a part of the forest that was mostly void of any snow piles and was mostly filled with trees and smooth snowy ground.


    Suddenly, she stopped and hid behind the tree. Her hunter instincts told her that someone was near.


    Her fingertip touched the trigger, and a small portion of her head peeked from behind the tree.


    At first, she saw nothing, but soon with the corner of her eye, she saw something that attracted her attention.


    In the distance, there was a hole that seemed to be dug out just recently.


    LotusOfDeath, after making sure that was no one around, rushed towards the small hole.


    Once she reached the ce, she looked inside and saw a slight outline of some kind of items being on the hole only recently.


    The snow that was dug out was next to the hole.


    She traced her finger on the hole and looked at any traces, which she soon found and knew precisely where it led.


    Looking towards the direction, she used her excellent eyesight and had a hunch that the yer who was here couldn''t be far.


    Also, there seemed to be something important hidden because someone had to waste so much energy and time to dug a hole in this solid ground.


    ''Maybe that person has food¡­'' She rubbed her stomach and, so far, did not have any need for food.


    She had a Legendary VR Helmet, which stopped her from carrying any unnecessary burden with her.


    But now, she, like many other yers, are void of any food, and she was not sure how it would be possible to survive without any food.


    Even if there was the slightest chance of someone having food, it was worth it to go after him!


    LotusOfDeath stood up and followed after the traces.


    She still kept an eye on the surroundings and was ready to protect herself if needed.


    Her original n was to fight the number one person and had zero interest in dying before that fateful encounter.


    She doubts that the person she was chasing was that person because, in her mind, the person who would be chosen before her would be god-like with perfect aim and without any ws.


    Seeing all traces in the ground, she erased any thoughts of the person being her fateful opponent and doubts that the yer she was chasing would be any good.


    Only after ten minutester, her steps came to a halt as she saw there traces led.


    In the distance, she saw a cave that seemed dark, but she knew that the yer was there!

 Chapter 195 - Butterfly Call.

    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac took a deep breath after managing toplete his errand without any problems.


    He put the bag down on the ground and the Flintlock Pistol next to it.


    The leather pouch was hanging from his waist, so that he doesn''t have to carry it by hand.


    But, now, he untied it and put it next to the Flintlock Pistol.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' He sat down and leaned on the rock wall. He used his sleeve to wipe his sweat and felt surprisingly exhausted.


    Isaac had to stay on full alert during his run and had to run almost half an hour without stopping.


    Also, digging the hole was perhaps the most exhausting part.


    He glimpsed at his fingers, which were dripping with blue blood.


    He had to use his nails to increase the digging speed, which unfortunately caused him to bleed.


    The pain was even more vivid after the 1% increase in pain, and it felt very ufortable.


    Also, the temperature was decreased to such lengths that he thought he was on an ice bath.


    The cold air in the cave didn''t make his situation easier.


    He started rubbing two palms together, trying to warm himself up, but then he remembered that there was a campfire ready to be lit up.


    He knows a neat trick that he learned identally.


    If he rubs a Musket Rifle''s bullet on a hard surface, it will be lit in a fire.


    He tried to do the same with Flintlock Pistol''s bullets, but it didn''t work.


    Isaac''s hand went inside the leather pouch, and soon, a bullet was on his palm.


    He put it down on the hard ground and started rubbing it.


    Soon, sparks flew, and small fire signs started appearing on the bottom of the bullet, but that caused Isaac to increase the speed of the rubbing, and soon half of the bullet shell was on fire.


    For some reason, it won''t explode like he expected to happen. Instead, it manages to survive the fire fairly well.


    He threw the bullet in the middle of the sticks, and soon, a fire started.


    The few-meter radius around Isaac was lit up in a yellowish hue, and a heatwave assaulted his body.


    Isaac put his two hands closer to a campfire and started warming up his body.


    The sound of crackling and cold air was tickling his senses, but then, he heard something else.


    *Crack!*


    Isaac''s head snapped towards the direction of the sound, and he was almost sure that it came from the entrance.


    He slowly picked up his Musket Rifle and made sure there were bullets inside the chamber.


    After making sure, he aimed the gun towards the crossroad of the cave.


    The crossroad had only one way to go, and that was towards the left, which led to the entrance.


    In his position, he had cover but also no way to escape.


    He was on a dead end.


    ''I shouldn''t have stayed here¡­ This was a mistake.'' Isaac med his ownck of experience and knew that staying here was a mistake, but finding another cave was even more dangerous.


    He didn''t want to say outside, where the temperature was decreasing.


    Also, he had to somehow survive, while he could get attacked by almost every direction!


    He kept breathing softly; the sound of fire crackling subdued the sound his breathing made.


    Isaac knew that whoever appeared from the entrance knew that he was in the cave; acting won''t do any good.


    But, that person might not know that he was aware of someone entering.


    After waiting for five minutes, no one came.


    He was still looking at the empty crossroad and didn''t see any sign of life.


    After bing impatient, he decided to look at what caused the sound.


    Slowly, he approached the crossroad and was pointing the Musket Rifle at the ceiling so that his weapon won''t reveal his position.


    Once he reached the end of the wall and got to the crossroad, where only from turning left would he see the entrance.


    Isaac slowly peeked until only his right eye was visible to anyone in the entrance.


    The first thing he saw was surprisingly an empty entrance!


    He narrowed his eyes and looked towards the distance but didn''t see anyone.


    ''I have to find out¡­'' Isaac thought inside his mind.


    The things he had to find out was that did someone step on the sticks.


    It would tell him that someone visited and knows that Isaac was currently in the cave!


    It has risks trying to find out. He didn''t know whether that yer had the entrance on his sights and was waiting for Isaac to peek to get a shot in.


    But then, he had an idea.


    The only reason why she couldn''t see the sticks was because of the darkness around him, but if he had something that could allow him to see them, he didn''t need to risk his life.


    And, he has precisely the thing he needed.


    Isaac went back to the campfire and took a stick that had its tip on fire.


    It illuminated the area around him nicely.


    He soon returned to the crossroad and stretched his hand, holding the ming stick.


    The light was approaching the ce where the sticks were, and soon, half of the sticks was illuminated in light.


    But Isaac couldn''t stretch his hand any further. Otherwise, he has to expose himself.


    He started hoping that enough sticks were visible.


    He peeked from his hiding spot, used his great vision to look at the sticks, and widened his eyes in shock.


    Two of the sticks were snapped in half, which told Isaac everything he needed.


    He pulled his hand back and threw the stick back to the campfire.


    His heart was beating rapidly.


    ''Someone was here¡­ But where could that yer be?'' Isaac closed his eyes and started thinking, ''That person obviously retreated after making enough noise to attract my attention, but it is also certain that person is still near¡­ But, where¡­''


    Outside the cave.


    On top of a small snowy mountain.


    Right on top of the cave where Isaac was.


    LotusOfDeath was sitting on top of the snow pile and had a serious look underneath her hood.


    ''''He is good¡­'''' She murmured, and a butterflynded on her shoulder.


    A first skill she chose was called Butterfly Call!


    It allows her to control the Butterfly perfectly, and she can see the exact same things like the butterfly.


    She saw how Isaac used a ming stick to see if the sticks were broken, and only a moment before that, she was foolish enough to enter the cave without any care.


    She almost felt like pping her because of her stupidity.


    ''''I can''t believe I underestimated him and almost lost my life because of it¡­ Lion shouldn''t go easy when hunting a rabbit¡ª instead always go all-out!'''' She once again had another valuable lesson, and she grew even stronger because of this experience.

 Chapter 196 - HandsomeLord’s Spawn.

    Somewhere in a snowy forest.


    A battle between two Marksmen were currently ongoing.


    *BANG!*


    A silhouette was moving with incredible speed while bullets were flying through the air and destroying the trees around him.


    The figure who was dodging the deadly bullets was a young man with short ck hair. He didn''t have any special descriptions, except his unusually long eyebrows.


    Pieces of broken wood and broken bullets flew all around him, but he managed to dodge them all; with luck or skill, it was unknown at this moment.


    A namete was seen on his winter jacket, which was on the color of brown.


    [LethalFury]


    Soon, the bullets stopped flying.


    ''''That was the fifth bullet¡­.'''' He grabbed his Musket Rifle and stepped out of his hiding spot, and fired instantly a bullet towards the hiding spot, where he thought his opponent was.


    *BANG!*


    His bullet destroyed a snow pile around fifty meters away from him but didn''t get any notifications that he hit his opponent.


    ''''Where?'''' He thought anxiously and scanned the area, but his opponent had vanished somewhere.


    ''''10¡­ 9¡­'''' He had been counting the time of the reload and was getting more anxious after not finding where his opponent was.


    LethalFury decided a risky move and started running straight towards where he expected his opponent to be.


    ''''7¡­ 6¡­'''' After reaching a count of 6, he arrived at the ce.


    He jumped over a snow pile and aimed his Musket Rifle towards the bottom of the snow pile, where he expected his opponent to be hiding, but there was no one there.


    ''''Fuck!'''' A curse escaped his mouth, and after looking around him, he noticed that he waspletely exposed.


    ''A trap?'' With fear rising inside him, he thought, ''Why did I have to find a Pro?''


    After having a feeling that his opponent was better and smarter than him, he thought because his opponent was a pro, but it was a simple tactic, which hepletely forgot.


    His opponent simply counted every shot of his and relocated instantly after firing thest bullet.


    ''''1¡­ 0¡­'''' After he counted to zero, he gave up after a sound of a bang appeared.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet pierced through the side of his skull, instantly killing him.


    Only ten meters away from him, another young man popped up. He was only hiding behind a tree because he would be spotted if he ran further away.


    LethalFury didn''t think about that and thought that his opponent was already far away, but if he had kept his calmposure, he would have figured it out fairly easily.


    ''''Easy.'''' The young man said with a grin. He had short blond hair, a height of 180cm, and an athletic build, with very thin clothing.


    A namete on his chest had words [HandsomeLord]


    HandsomeLord, the young man that was the one who survived the battle between Marksmen, arrived at the corpse.


    He touched the texture of the winter jacket and grinned with satisfaction, ''''Nice, it was getting quite cold.''''


    He took the winter jacket off from the corpse and started wearing it. Instantly, he felt much warmer, but still, cold wind made his legs feel very ufortable.


    Looking at the corpse''s pants, they looked warmer than the one he was wearing, which caused him to take them as well.


    Soon, the corpse on the ground was only on his long-sleeved t-shirt and without pants.


    ''''Nice.'''' HandsomeLord was satisfied at the things he received from the LethalFury, but he also remembered to take the bullets.


    Soon, his pockets were filled with bullets.


    He didn''t have a leather pouch because he threw it away almost instantly after buying the bullets.


    He thought he didn''t need it because he could store items in his Inventory.


    Now, he has to store his items in his pockets, which hinders his movements and slows him down significantly.


    ''''Ahhh¡­'''' He took a breath of satisfaction, and once again, he lied down on top of a small snow pile.


    The barrel of his musket rifle barely popped out from the snow pile. He had his left eye closed as he waited for anyone to pop up in his sight.


    He wasn''t worried if someone coulde behind him, because there was arge mountain that blocked anyone from ambushing him!


    With great luck, he spawned right at this point, and since then, he hasn''t moved an inch and has earned three kills already!


    He thought it wasn''t needed for him to move anywhere. Instead, he can stay there camping and kill everyone whoes after him.


    He also found a small cave in the mountain behind him, only around 5 meters in length, but it was enough for him.


    The cold made his stay ufortable, but now, that has been fixed by the winter clothing he received from LethalFury; now, he can stay camping longer and maybe get a few more kills before going to the cave hiding.


    With a confident and smug expression, he waited for another victim to arrive.


    His muscles were rxed, and he already dreamed about being surrounded by beautiful women while swimming in a sea of money.


    A trail of drool left his mouth, and he even giggled a little bit. Mythical Legacy would bring him to the top of the world, and his family that used to despise him would have to kneel before him.


    He hatefully thought about his ssmates and the girls who rejected him.


    ''''Just wait¡­ Once I get my hands on the Legacy, you guys have to beg for me even to take a glimpse of you lot!''''


    Soon, his fantasies were interrupted as he saw a reflection of light some distance away.


    ''''Eh, what is that?'''' HandsomeLord frowned and turned the musket rifle''s barrel towards the reflection of the light and barely managed to see an outline of a scope!


    ''''Oh¡­''''


    *BANG!*


    A bullet flew with a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.


    Without even being able to react to his demise, the bullet pierced through his eye.


    ''''Ohh¡­'''' HandsomeLord didn''t even notice that bullet pierced his skull, and he kept repeating the exact words, but then his head lowered with a trail of blue blood dripping down the snow pile, where he was camping just a moment ago.

 Chapter 197 - Craft Master

    <h4>Chapter 197 - Craft Master. </h4>


    *Crunch*


    Footsteps arrived at the ce where previously alive HandsomeLord was.


    The footsteps belonged to the figure, who had dark ck robes, but his face was visible.


    Surprisingly, he was a middle-aged man with ordinary brown hair and a neatly trimmed beard.


    His weapon looked initially simr to a musket rifle, but he had a scope attached to it!


    It was the scope that HandsomeLord saw before dying.


    The scope was created by a yer who had Unique ss called Craft Master.


    A nametag was also seen on his chest.


    [TwistedReversed]


    He looked at the corpse in front of him, but at the clothes and not at the dead young men.


    The middle-aged man turned his head and made sure that no one was around.


    Once he was hundred percent confident, he took off his dark robes and revealed his armor beneath.


    It was a solid armor with a chest te that left his arms open, which gave him good movement.


    He took the winter clothes from HandsomeLord''s corpse and put them over the armor.


    After he was done, he took the dark robes and put them over the winter clothing. Now he had triple protection from the cold.


    First, he thought about leaving the ce, but then he noticed how perfect this ce was for him.


    With the help of his scope, he could look much farther than with an ordinary musket rifle; it gave him a great advantage towards others.


    He kicked HandsomeLord''s corpse away and lied down on the snow pile, where arge stain of blue blood was.


    He looked at the scope with his right eye and saw much further than HandsomeLord did, which made him even deadlier!


    *Rumble*


    ''''Ugh¡­'''' His stomach rumbled, which earned a grunt of pain from him.


    He glimpsed at the dead HandsomeLord and snorted, ''''Did he n camping here until he starves?''''


    [-1 HP]


    TwistedReversed had a notification popping up in front of him, and it wasn''t the first time.


    The game had a safe mechanic.


    They won''t let yers feel the real pain of starvation. Instead, they will keep reducing the HP, and once the yer was very hungry, like at the level of someone not eating for two days in real life, the yer will die.


    But, still, the pain will be minimal.


    TwistedReversed didn''t eat anything before joining the tournament and yed all night to improve his level as much as he could.


    This caused him to skip breakfast as well, and he was starving.


    But, he took something out of his pocket, and it was bread!


    He never thought he had any use for it and nned to throw it away, but surprisingly, it came in use with perfect timing.


    But, it was the final bread of his, and after this one, he will have nothing to eat and has to find a way to get food.


    He took a small bite of the bread and grimaced at the taste. It was very hard to bite at and even harder to swallow.


    ''''Shit taste.'''' He grimaced and almost spat the bread out but forced himself to swallow.


    TwistedReversed has never tasted something so awful, not even close.


    Since he was a child, he has been living a rxed life with his wealthy family. Because his parents wanted to gather more status in society, they sacrificed him and married him to another family.


    The woman he married was all-around awful.


    Fat, ugly, and personality were the worst ones out of them. He didn''t care about her looks, but after seeing how rotten her personality was, he did.


    He wouldn''t have cared if she was even gentle, but there was nothing good about her.


    She was like a devil''s spawn.


    After a very rocky start of a marriage, he was forced to have a baby with the spawn of a devil, and it was something he didn''t enjoy.


    But, it was something that he didn''t regret afterwards.


    His wife gave birth to a daughter, who was the only good thing that happened from the marriage.


    His family, of course, had a significant increase in status and became very respected, but TwistedReversed didn''t speak them a word after they sacrificed him.


    His wife spent zero time with the daughter, instead spent her time somewhere else.


    He had a hunch that she was forcing some poor male prostitutes to fulfill her desires, but that was fine for him.


    TwistedReversed had to be the one who had to take care of the daughter, and it was a hundred times better than spending time with the devil spawn.


    His daughter also became very close to him, and the older she got, the more she started hating her mother.


    Behind her back, they talked about her using her nickname, which was devil spawn.


    When his daughter reached 15, and his age was nearing 40, a piece of news appeared on the TV about White Online.


    His daughter begged him to pay for a VR Helmet for her; she didn''t mind if it was the worst one.


    But, he bought a Legendary one and bought one for himself as well.


    They started spending time inside the game and became soon feared by the yers, who were spawned in the same vige as them.


    His daughter had great skill as Trap Master, but out of incredible luck, she received Unique ss Quest and became World''s First Craft Master!


    It allowed her to craft anything, and the first thing she prepared was scope for her father.


    During their stay in the vige, they became known as a duo who couldn''t be offended because the Vige Chief heard about his daughter, who became very important in his eyes.


    She got the protection of the Vige Chief and his hundreds of Guards because Unique sses are almost at the level of nobility.


    They became almost Royals in the vige, but they had to move out of the vige to increase their strength, and so they did.


    Seeing how important her daughter was in the vige made him think.


    At this rate, he will be left behind, and he wanted to apany his daughter on her journey, which will bring her glory and fame.


    He wanted to see how far her daughter would reach with his own eyes.


    But to do that, he needs strength.


    With Mythical Legacy, he can be with her daughter on his journey and maybe, reach the top with her.

 Chapter 198 - Wraith’s Stream Clip

    <h4>Chapter 198 - Wraith''s Stream Clip. </h4>


    In Snowstar.


    Maxwell was sitting in his office with the screen of his PC turned on.


    Only moment ago, he was still scrolling through White Online forums, but then another post popped up, which started moving rankings quickly.


    It took less than a minute for it to have a hot tag, meaning it was one of the most discussed topics in the past 24 hours!


    The post had an exciting title.


    [Wraith''s Stream Clip!]


    Maxwell was drinking a cup of coffee, but after seeing the title, he had to utter all his willpower to keep his coffee inside his mouth and not spit it out and make a mess out of his office.


    *Gulp*


    He gulped down the hot coffee and instantly felt his tongue scream in pain.


    ''''Ahhh¡­ Hooot!'''' Like a dog, he put his tongue out of his mouth and started taking deep breaths, hoping that his breath would cool it down, but it did theplete opposite and made it even hotter!


    ''''Aaahhh!'''' He screamed and ran out of his office, straight to the kitchen.


    ''''Honey, what''s wrong?'''' Isabe asked from the living room and saw her husband running to the kitchen as his life depended on it.


    ''''Hot!'''' Maxwell screamed and pushed the kitchen doors open.


    ''''Dummy.'''' Isabe turned around and continued watching a new drama TV show.


    Inside the kitchen.


    Maxwell grabbed a milk bottle from the refrigerator and started gulping it down.


    ''''Ahhh¡­'''' He wiped the milk stains from his mouth and touched his sensitive tongue, which was still in pain, but not as bad anymore.


    After subduing most of the pain, he remembered the post, ''''Isaac¡­ What did you do this time?'''' He left the kitchen and started walking straight towards his office but was stopped.


    ''''Dad!'''' Mark ran from the second floor to the first floor and stopped in front of Maxwell.


    ''''Mark, what is it?'''' Maxwell said carefully, trying not to irritate his sensitive tongue anymore.


    ''''Can I y White Online?'''' He asked with his big blue eyes sparkling in expectations.


    ''''Age limit is 13, sorry son.'''' Maxwell said and ruffled Mark''s hair, making it untidy.


    ''''Come on!'''' Mark shouted and stomped back upstairs.


    ''''Is there any new VR gamesing to market after the sess of White Online?'''' Isabe asked from the living room.


    ''''Yeah,'''' Maxwell said and started walking towards his office, ''''I will buy a game for kids!''''


    Isabe waved her hand and wished that Mark would be satisfied with that, but a small chance for it to happen.


    Once he opened the door to his office, he closed it and went straight to his chair.


    After sitting on thefy office chair, he grabbed the mouse on the desk and double-clicked on the post.


    Soon, the screen changed, and it started showing the forum''s post.


    There was a row of texts and also a video link below.


    Maxwell started reading the texts aloud, ''''Yesterday, a new streamer popped up, with the name of Wraith.


    ''''At first nce, it was evident that he will be famous in one way or another, but what surprised me and hundred others was his excellent usage of Marksman ss!


    ''''I hope that these clips show the appeal that is called Adventure Streams¡ª I and a dozen others in the stream decided to name it like that. The others who named with me were guys called Divinity, Tyrant, Sandy, Lynch¡­


    ''''But, that was only one part I want you guys to see, but the other was how Wraith used Marksman ss against Orc''s and some Tail Spirit, it might surprise many of you, and I want everyone to rethink.


    ''''Is Marksman really weak ss?'''' After he finished reading it aloud, Maxwell took a deep breath.


    ''''Son¡­ You are bringing a storm if this is really what I think he talked about.''''


    *Click* *Click*


    He used a mouse and once again double-clicked on the video clip.


    The video started with a white-haired young man standing on top of some kind of purplish mountain, but then the camera moved to capture the massive Centipede in the distance!


    For next five minutes of the video was about the battle between Isaac and the tail and Orcs.


    The scene showed how perfect Isaac moved and calcted everything perfectly, but it also showed his perfect usage of Marksman ss.


    The clip ended once the final Orc fell on the ground.


    The fight showed a lot.


    How Isaac killed the tail spirit, how he easily outsmarted the Orc''s and managed to use Marksman ss in Close Quarters.


    Everything shown on the video made many excited and even nervous.


    The sight of the giant centipede made many pale in fright, but also seeing a young man that was vastly outmatched desperately trying to dodge made many excited after seeing him fighting and winning.


    Everyone around him was at least twice his size, but he still managed to survive.


    Not only that¡­


    He managed to win!!


    Maxwell left the video clip with a face that he had never shown to anyone before.


    It was a face of amazement.


    He couldn''t believe his eyes that the one in the video was really his son!


    A son that was heavily protected and loved since he was born, but it became extreme after the incident that almost cost his life.


    If someone told him that Isaac fought against dozens of terrifying Orc''s and won, he would call them as liar.


    But, the proof was right in front of him, and Maxwell couldn''t describe the feeling he currently had.


    His heart was beating, but he didn''t know whether it was from nervousness or else.


    *BA BUMP*


    But, he knew what kind of feeling in his heart was sprouting.


    A feeling of pride.


    Maxwell touched his chest, at the location where his beating heart should be, ''''He is no longer a child¡­''''


    He closed his eyes and knew what kind of future Isaac would have.


    A future where he doesn''t need to rely on his parents; instead walk on a path that will be full of hardships and setbacks, but a path that he can walk proudly with head high.


    ''''I chose right¡­'''' Maxwell''s mouth curved into a small smile and a deep breath left his mouth, ''''Isaac, how far will you reach? And¡­ Will you be one of our saviors?''''

 Chapter 199 - BlackNight

    <h4>Chapter 199 - ckNight. </h4>


    Inside White Online.


    In the ce of the Legacy Tournament.


    Snow Forest.


    It has been three hours since the Legacy Tournament started, and the number of contenders had reduced all the way from 112 to 95.


    Some parts of the snow forest were smashed into pieces with broken tree trunks and corpses.


    Now and then, a sound of bang echoed in the forest, and the forest itself was still very bright.


    A majestic and bright yellow sun was floating somewhere in outer space.


    Making the surroundings very bright.


    The snow ground almost shone under the bright lighting from the sun, but it also made it easier to locate the ces where there was slippery ice.


    *Step!*


    Soon, a figure appeared out of nowhere and stepped over slippery ice, but didn''t fall down, instead kept running and managed to do so without slipping.


    Ten seconds after the first figure left the area with slippery ice, another figure appeared, who seemed to be chasing after the first figure.


    The second figure had a dark cloak with a mask that was covering most of his face but leaving his right eye open.


    He was carrying a ck-colored musket rifle, which also had a thin de in the color of ck.


    [ckNight]


    ckNight, the person who was chasing after the first figure, stepped over the slippery ice but didn''t slip either and continued running.


    The dark cloak he was wearing kept fluttering behind him, causing a small noise everywhere he went.


    *Swoosh*


    *Swoosh*


    His movements caused a swooshing sound that resembled a lot of wind''s noise.


    For some reason, ckNight didn''t stop chasing after the first figure, even though they were running in a very exposed ce.


    Soon, in the distance, he saw his target running away as his life depended on it.


    His right eye that was exposed soon changed colors!


    His previous blue eye turned shades until it was bright red!


    [Heat Vision Used!]


    A tiny st of crimson light left his right eye and started traveling straight towards the figure he was chasing!


    The first figure, whose namete said [MajoryH], turned his head anxiously and saw the st of crimson chasing after him!


    ''''God damn it!'''' MajoryH screamed and jumped to the side, dodging barely the heat vision, which struck the tree near him.


    *BAM!*


    The tree, which got struck by the heat vision, started melting away until nothing was left.


    ''''Hmph.'''' ckNight aimed his musket rifle towards MajoryH, who fell down on the ground because of the shockwave heat vision caused after hitting the tree.


    MajoryH anxiously tried to stand up, but ckNight had already squeezed a trigger.


    *BANG!*


    ''''Not so easily!'''' MajoryH used all the strength his legs had and jumped to the side, but he didn''t manage to dodgepletely.


    A bullet pierced his left leg, making his lower half of the leg explode!


    ''''Ahhh!'''' MajoryH felt something missing and felt a numbing feeling spreading around his body. He anxiously turned his head around and saw his left foot missing with a trail of blue blood following behind him!


    ''''Fucking bastard!'''' He screamed and aimed his musket rifle towards ckNight and fired.


    *BANG!*


    ckNight''s right eye once again changed colors from blue to red.


    [Heat Vision Used!]


    A small beam of crimson light left his eye and surrounded the iing bullet.


    The bullet that was fired by MajoryH soon turned into ashes, which was quickly blown away by the gush of wind.


    ''''I-Impossible.'''' MajoryH couldn''t believe it and felt incredibly unfortunate that he came face to face with a monster like this!


    ''''You are frustrated, aren''t you?'''' ckNight said nonchntly and touched the de, ''''Being so weak¡­ And, also, because your desires will never be fulfilled because you were simply too weak to receive a Legacy, it must hurt.''''


    MajoryH gritted his teeth and screamed, ''''You don''t know anything! You are only a bastard who was lucky enough to get good skill!''''


    He started taking short breaths and continued screaming, ''''This game is fucking RNG! I got useless skills both times, and you get a fucking heat vision?! Fucking bullshit!''''


    ''''Keep barking, puppy.'''' ckNight said coldly and aimed the musket rifle''s barrel at the screaming man in front of him, ''''The game chose skills that fit us perfectly. If you got weak skills, it means that you were always meant to be weak.''''


    ''''That''s bullshit!'''' MajoryH used the musket rifle as a walking cane and stood up, ''''I was fucking National Karate Champion! I am strong!''''


    ''''In here, you are nothing.'''' ckNight was finished with talking and squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    Soon, MajoryH fell down on the ground with a bullet wound on his throat that didn''t kill him instantly, instead made him suffocate.


    ckNight decided not to give a quick death to the barking dog, instead ufortable and somewhat traumatizing.


    He grabbed the bullets from the corpse and continued his journey to somewhere else.


    His destination was unknown, but he knew exactly where he needed to go.


    His blue eye seemed unnatural like it wasn''t his real eye color because it wasn''t!


    Heat Vision was a skill he received when he became level 25, but there was another skill he received when he was only level 10.


    It was an Eye of a Tracker!


    With an Eye of a Tracker, he can track where others are; that''s why he dared to chase after MajoryH because he knew exactly where everyone was currently!


    It was something that was his biggest secret, and that''s why he was using it all the time!


    Like, Illusionary Shot, his Eye of a Tracker has no limits, except it only works when he has his eye open, and using it makes his eye very irritated.


    He feels all the time the urge to close his eye, but he forces it to stay open.


    ckNight didn''t join Legacy Tournament only for the Legacy, but also for free XP.


    He had difficulties leveling up to level 40, and the Legacy Tournament came in perfect time.


    He can kill yers whose levels are close to his, maybe even higher.


    ''''Maybe I can reach level 45¡­ Or¡­'''' ckNight''s eyes showed coldness, ''''Maybe I will be the highest-ranked yer in terms of levels!''''

 Chapter 200 - Night Vision

    <h4>Chapter 200 - Night Vision. </h4>


    Ten hours after Legacy Tournament began.


    The sky was bing darker, and the temperature decreased till it was no longer safe to stay outside.


    More yers died every hour, either from cold or because of starvation.


    None of the yers could ever imagine that the game, which they thought was innocent at first, was actually very ruthless in some aspects.


    The snow forest that was loud the entire day became silent.


    No signs of firing or dying were heard.


    Inside a certain cave.


    A white-haired young man was sitting next to a campfire, with food cooking right in front of him.


    He was Isaac, and he had one of the most nerve-wracking hours of his life.


    He knew that the yer, who knows he was there, was outside, somewhere, waiting to make a move.


    Not even for a moment, he lowered his guard. Instead, it increased after the sky became dark, and the light that wasing from the campfire made the cave even brighter.


    He wanted to make some kind of cover at the entrance so that the lighting from the campfire won''t leak outside the cave, but he couldn''t do it.


    The person hiding was waiting for him to make a mistake that would cost him his life.


    Isaac hopes that no one was foolish enough to enter the cave where he was.


    He could feel the temperature decreasing and hoped that everyone had found their own cover and would stay there until the temperature kept increasing once again.


    The night will be most crucial in terms of survival, but daytime will be when most deaths happen.


    Soon, the food was cooked in front of him, and he devoured it hungrily. He has saved his food as well as he could, but hunger still surprised him, which caused him to have his dinner earlier than he expected.


    He wanted to survive till tomorrow without food, but dire situations needed solutions, and this time, he had to eat, but he still had enough tost couple more days.


    The scent of the food traveled outside the cave, and a butterfly that was flying around smelled it.


    The beautiful purple-colored butterfly started flying towards the smell and soon arrived at the crossroad, where it could already see the campfire and white-haired young man.


    It could also see the tasty-looking food, and it almost looked like the butterfly was drooling.


    The butterfly started flying closer and soon left the darkness and entered an area of light.


    *Munch*


    Isaac took another bite and started munching on the chicken, but then, with a corner of his eyes, he saw something flying.


    His head snapped in the direction of the flying item and widened his eyes in shock after seeing it being a butterfly!


    ''''Butterfly¡­ That''s impossible!'''' He put the chicken down on top of the stic bag and slowly grabbed a bullet from his leather pouch.


    He saw the butterfly concentrating only on his food and not on him.


    *SWOOSH!*


    Without wasting any more time, he threw the bullet, which struck the butterfly perfectly.


    The butterfly was sent flying and crashed onto the rocky wall before exploding into purple blood mist.


    Isaac took a short breath, and soon notifications popped up.


    [You Killed Butterfly of Surveince!]


    [500 XP Earned!]


    ''''Butterfly of Surveince?'''' He murmured and widened his eyes in shock after understanding what it meant.


    ''It must have belonged to the person who knows I am here¡­ Now that person will know I have food; he will definitely make a move!'' A slight panic started arising on him, but he pped his cheeks, regaining hisposure because losing his calm would be his death.


    ''Think¡­ Think¡­'' He rubbed his forehead and started thinking about ways of survival.


    He is trapped, and his opponent will have a huge advantage.


    Who knows what kind of information the butterfly managed to give his opponent.


    While, he doesn''t know anything about his opponent, not even gender or weapon!


    But, his brilliant mind soon started running, and a n started forming in his mind.


    It was risky, but he had no other ideas.


    He grabbed his food and stuffed it inside the stic bag before throwing it to the side.


    He also grabbed his Flintlock Pistol and the leather pouch that contained its bullets and threw them next to the stic bag.


    Next, he did something unexpected.


    Currently, the cave was too bright, which allowed his opponent to see where he was, which means he had to get rid of the light.


    Isaac started stomping the fire, which soon died down, and the previous bright cave turned dark.


    He aimed the musket rifle towards the crossroad and waited for his opponent to arrive.


    His heart started beating rapidly, and he almost pressed the trigger by ident but managed to not make such an amateurish mistake.


    Outside the cave.


    LotusOfDeath opened her eyes.


    She looked enraged after her precious butterfly died, and now she has to wait a week before it reincarnates.


    That''s the side effect of her ability. If the butterfly dies, she can''t use it for a whole week!


    The butterfly was also her onlypany during her journey in White Online, and they befriended, even if it sounded weird.


    Seeing her friend dying made her enraged, even if she knew that the butterfly would reincarnate, but one week is a long time.


    Also, seeing the food that the white-haired young man was munching made her impatient and hungry.


    *Rumble!*


    Her stomach rumbled, which caused her to fall down on her knees, and her HP started decreasing at a slow pace.


    ''''Damn¡­'''' She rubbed her stomach and slowly stood up.


    In front of her, there was the dark forest, and she was getting rather cold. She had learned how to stay warm in cold temperatures, and this was nothing to her.


    She used to stay two days outside in a ce which was almost as cold like this and survived.


    She also managed to hunt a bear that was said to be impossible to kill.


    The bear was thest nail that caused her family to rise.


    ''''I am hunter¡­ I will avenge you, my friend.'''' Her face looked cold as she jumped off from the mountain andnded right in front of the entrance.


    She took a glimpse behind her and saw the dark cave.


    Her face turned even colder, ''''Useless tricks¡­ You can''t hide from me.'''' Her previous blue eyes changed colors and turned green!


    It was not like ckNight''s; it wasn''t an offensive skill, instead supportive.


    The skill she received from level 25 was Night Vision!


    With this skill, she could see perfectly in the night and was, even more, deadlier than in day!


    Isaac was in a big trouble, and he wasn''t even aware of it!

 Chapter 201 - Showdown

    <h4>Chapter 201 - Showdown. </h4>


    ''Where is he¡­'' Isaac thought to himself and still thought that his opponent was a male.


    He has rarely seen a female who is in shooter ss, which made him think automatically that his opponent was a male.


    He had waited for half an hour already, and his opponent was still nowhere to be seen.


    Not even a sound.


    Isaac knows that the twigs in front of the entrance were useless; his opponent must have already gotten rid of them, so they won''t alert him of his presence.


    In the past half an hour, Isaac had a lot of time to think.


    He now understood the skill level of his opponent, and it was at a level that he can''tprehend.


    ''He is using a fear technique¡­'' Isaac narrowed his eyes and understood what his opponent was trying to do.


    He will be trying to make him fearful, which will cause him to lose hisposure and concentration.


    With enough fear, he wouldn''t be able to function properly and maybe will even run out of the cave in a fear-filled state.


    It was terrifying to fight an enemy that you can''t see, and fear instantly makes them to make a stupid decision, which was to find the person who caused your fear, no matter the cost.


    Some would even be willing to die, so they won''t have to feel such fear, and Isaac was sure that this was what his opponent was trying to do.


    Trying to make him feel enough fear so he will give up.


    But, unfortunately for his opponent, Isaac was not someone who would cower in fear. Instead, he will stay calm and concentrated.


    He has thought about everything, even about the possibilities of his opponent''s skills.


    The butterfly was already something that made him shocked. He mostly thought that the skills would be rted to shooting like his were, but he was proven wrong.


    ''I wonder what skills other has¡­ Using a butterfly as surveince is already insane¡­ I wonder, are their skills even crazier than that...'' Isaac wanted to go out and find out what other crazy abilities Marksmen yers has.


    But, spending almost the whole tournament in the cave, stuck, without being able to leave, was not what he expected from the tournament when he was chosen.


    Also, seeing his opponent''s skill made him certain that chances of survival were diminishing with each passing second, but he didn''t want to give up so early.


    He wanted to fight with all he''s got.


    He wanted a proper fight and not get killed in some random cave by someone who doesn''t want to fight fairly.


    ''Should I leave¡­ It is risky¡­ Very risky¡­'' Isaac lowered his musket rifle and walked to the corner of the cave, which allowed him to have as much cover as possible.


    The only way for his opponent to see him was as if the person wouldpletely enter the part of the cave where he was, but Isaac, with his excellent eyesight, could see his opponent by a mile away.


    He has always thought that his eyesight was not something that Marksman should possess because it was far stronger than it should be.


    Marksmen are known for worst ss because their Special Stat Precision only allows them to have a good aim and nothing else.


    But, Isaac has found out that it was not entirely true.


    No one in the forums told about eyesight bing better, but he remembered Diana also describing Marksmen.


    ''All Marksmen had good eyesight¡­'' Isaac remembered Diana saying about Marksmen in a beta testing phase.


    Now, his eyesight allowed him to see fairly well in the dark cover, not as good as in the daytime, but enough so he could see ahead of him.


    ''I have to leave the cave¡­ I can''t stay here any longer, or I will die.'' Isaac, with frustration, thought.


    ''Maybe I can¡­ Lure him inside¡­'' Isaac thought, soon he had another n inside his mind.


    He moved the musket rifle behind him and strapped it on his back, but identally, the thin de of the cave touched the ceiling.


    *Scratch*


    A loud scratching sound came as the thin de made a long scratching mark on the ceiling, but that was not what surprised Isaac. Instead, the ceiling seemed to be crumbling apart!


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock and touched the ceiling with his own hand. He managed to take a piece from the ceiling, and it crumbled once he clenched his fist.


    ''''This is not rock¡­ It''s dirt!'''' He widened in shock and felt his heartbeat rising faster than ever before.


    ''Maybe¡­ I can make another way out!'' Isaac screamed internally and started taking tiny pieces of the ceiling, dropping them gently on the ground, so it won''t make a loud noise for his opponent to hear.


    Soon, in the ceiling, a pathway was starting to form.


    *Bam¡­*


    Soon, the ceiling started copsing, andrger but also tinier pieces of dirt started dropping down.


    Also, snow started pouring inside the cave, but Isaac saw the cave having more light than previously!


    He appeared on top of the snow pile and looked towards the ceiling, which had a holerge enough to fit a person.


    But, he didn''t see a ceiling, or only the hole anymore.


    He saw the starry sky and the moon.


    A smile appeared on his face.


    He quickly picked up his stic bag, Flintlock Pistol, and the leather pouch and strapped them around his waist.


    After making sure that they were tied correctly, he put his two hands on the tiny handhold in the hole''s wall, which could be used to pull himself up, but he didn''t know how much weight it could hold.


    Isaac at first tried to pull his whole body up, but it didn''t work the way he wanted, and he had to use his aerobic skills.


    As he was pulling himself up, he moved both of his legs and moved them inside the hole, and found a foothold for them.


    His position looked awkward, with his hands below his legs, but it helped him to start his climbing.


    He managed to find another handhold, which he used to correct his previously awkward position.


    Just like that, he was slowly making his way up the hole.


    ''It''s time to fight fairly¡­'' Isaac thought with chilly look as he nned to have a proper showdown with his opponent, and he didn''t n to lose!

 Chapter 202 - Isaac The Hunter

    <h4>Chapter 202 - Isaac The Hunter. </h4>


    LotusOfDeath was lying on top of a snow pile, hundred meters away from the entrance of the cave.


    Her musket rifle''s barrel was peeking through the snow pile, and her body seemed invisible in the night.


    Her eyes had a tinge of green, signaling that she was currently using her second skill, Night Vision!


    She didn''t seem impatient or even worried; instead very calm andposed.


    *Rumble*


    A sound of rumbling came from her stomach, but she had stopped caring by that already.


    In one of her hunts, she had to be without eating for twenty hours, only to catch her prey.


    She has used to such dire conditions, but it still doesn''t mean that she doesn''t feel ufortable by being without food.


    Especially knowing that the young man could be eating the food which she wants desperately.


    But, she won''t risk her life for food and especially won''t make any stupid mistakes because of her hunger.


    On the dark night, firing a shot from over a hundred meters away could be an impossible task for many, especially because it needs great skills to do so.


    Some Marksmen couldn''t make a shot from 30 meters away, and that was in the daytime.


    There was a huge skill gap between average Marksmen yers and the very best.


    It wasn''t far-fetched to say that LotusOfDeath has one of the best aims in the game.


    Her exposed finger was on the trigger, ready to fire from moment''s notice. She had already noticed that the lighting from the cave had disappeared.


    ''Nice try¡­ But I am not falling for it.'' She thought and knew Isaac''s n, which was to lure her inside.


    But then, her Night Vision picked something up.


    Her head moved, and she saw a glimpse of something on top of the small mountain.


    It was like she saw an outline of a person that was glowing in green.


    Every person she sees while using Night Vision will be glowing in green, making it easy for her to spot them.


    And, she was almost sure that she saw a person, but it could also be an animal.


    ''Animal¡­ Could it be?'' She thought that getting food by stealing from others yers wasn''t what the game developers had in mind because there would be minimal food supply, and it would run out.


    That''s why she had a thought that they must have added animals that could be hunted and get food that way.


    Her stomach rumbled, which made her concentration slip, but she got a glimpse of the green glow once again.


    And then, her eyes widened in shock as she saw the outline of the green glow, which resembled a lot of a human!


    The human that was glowing on the green was on top of the mountain, and he was aiming his musket rifle at someone.


    At her¡­


    ''''Shit!'''' She screamed and quickly rolled in the ground towards the right.


    *BANG!*


    A bullet flew through the air and destroyed the snow pile, where she was lying only a moment ago.


    ''''How did he know I was here?!'''' She thought aloud anxiously and hid behind a tree.


    She med her hunger that made her from having rational thought, and even though she has used to being hungry, she still made a mistake she thought she wouldn''t do.


    ''I am so stupid¡­'' LotusOfDeath thought to herself and almost lost her life because she only thought about the possibilities of getting food.


    She also remembered the person''s outline and was sure that he was the person she saw in the cave.


    ''How did he get out¡­ Was there another way out?'' She quickly shook those thoughts out of her mind, ''Impossible¡­ I ensured that there was no way out, so maybe he had a skill that allowed him to do so¡­ Skill of teleportation? No way that would be stupidly overpowered.''


    She quickly got rid of those stupid thoughts but still leaned on the possibility of him having a skill that allowed him to leave the cave.


    She slightly moved her body and took a glimpse towards the mountain; with the help of her Night Vision, she could see much better than anyone would do in her position.


    LotusOfDeath expected to see the green glow, but it had disappeared!


    ''Where?!'' She thought anxiously and looked around the mountain and area but didn''t see the green glow anywhere.


    ''This is bad¡­ He has now upper hand¡ª I will have to do something.'' She knew that the winner would be the one who managed to outsmart their opponent.


    She had the upper hand so far, but she lost it and was in a very bad position.


    LotusOfDeath stood up and was still hiding behind the tree; she took a few glimpses towards the mountain and after she was sure that no one was near¡­


    She turned around and started running deeper inside the dark forest.


    Her head moved rapidly as she was on the lookout for anything that glowed in green but didn''t see anyone like that.


    ''''Huff¡­'''' Soon, she came to a stop as she had to catch her breathing.


    She ran for nearly ten minutes and was sure that she was far enough, but then¡­


    *BANG!*


    Her eyes widened in utter shock as she did the first thing that came to her mind, jumping to the side.


    She could feel clearly as something incredibly fast brushed past her face.


    *BAM!*


    A bulletnded on the tree not far from her, splitting the tree in half.


    LotusOfDeath quickly turned around to see where her attacker was, but once again, she saw nothing.


    ''''It seems that running won''t help¡­ Fine, you think you are the hunter? That''s funny¡ª I am the real hunter!''''


    She knew where the bullet came from, which allowed her to know the general position of her attacker.


    Her gazended on the snow hill a hundred meters away from her, and with her perfect eyesight and Night Vision, she could see how the snow seemed uneven, like someone hadid on it not long ago.


    ''''Gotcha¡­'''' A terrifying smirk appeared on her face, which was still obscure underneath her hood.

 Chapter 203 - Punch

    Chapter 203 - Punch


    *nk*


    A bullet shellnded on the snow ground next to the white-haired young man.


    Isaac picked up the shell and stuffed it inside his pocket.


    He was hiding behind a snow hill and only moments ago fired a bullet towards his attacker, who managed to dodge.


    ''He is good¡­'' Isaac thought and didn''t manage to get a proper nce at his attacker''s gender because it was dark, and the figure had the body stature of a boy at first.


    But also, Isaac noticed something very dangerous about his attacker.


    ''He noticed me instantly after my head popped up from the mountain¡­ He has either insane eyesight, or he can see better in the dark than others.''


    Isaac tested that theory while chasing LotusOfDeath and managed to find out the truth.


    He saw how he rapidly turned the head around like he was trying to see if anyone was close, but with such speed, it would be impossible to see anyone.


    Except if he had something that could instantly locate them.


    ''Night Vision, maybe¡­'' That was Isaac''s guess, and it would make sense to him, and he decided to treat him like he had a night vision.


    ''''Come out; I know you are hiding behind the snow hill!'''' Isaac heard a shout, which sounded very female-like.


    ''I guess he was really she¡­'' He narrowed his eyes and thought why she wanted him to reveal himself.


    ''''And why would I do that?'''' Isaac shouted back and waited for an answer; his body sneakily started moving away from the snow hill.


    Soon, he was hiding behind a tree while his attacker''s voice had be silent.


    ''''Give me your food, and I will let you live!'''' The voice, this time, came from a different direction.


    ''''No, you won''t!'''' Isaac replied back with a shout.


    He heard the sound of a girl gigglinging from the dark forest. Isaac felt pressured because it felt like the sound came all around him.


    ''''That''s right, you killed my friend, and I will kill you to avenge her.'''' Her innocent voice became enraged.


    ''I killed someone? Who?'' He had no idea and didn''t really care either, because he knows vividly everyone he had killed in the game, and it was impossible for him to know who did she meant.


    He still had to survive, and no matter how he tries to reason with her, he knows that she has an obsession with killing him and won''t stop until she has seeded.


    ''''I will give you a choice to kill yourself, or I will do it by slicing your limbs off.'''' Her enraged voice rang in his ears.


    ''What the fuck is wrong with her?'' Isaac thought with a strange look.


    ''''So, what is your choice?!'''' Isaac perked up his ears and, this time, tried to find her general location


    And he managed to do so.


    Isaac left his hiding spot and ran over the snow hill, only a few meters away from him; on the other side of the snow hill, he saw a dark cloaked figure aiming her musket rifle at him.


    ''''Gotcha!'''' She grinned and squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    Isaac twisted his waist to the side, and the bullet brushed right past his waist, but the bullet managed to hit the stic bag, which exploded into pieces, alongside all the food.


    ''''Tsk!'''' LotusOfDeath quickly reloaded again and aimed at Isaac, but he was already shing with his musket rifle.


    She didn''t have enough time to squeeze the trigger and had to put the musket rifle as a block.


    *CLANK*


    LotusOfDeath sessfully blocked the thin de of Isaac''s musket rifle.


    A grin appeared on her face, and she did a quick kick at Isaac''s shinbone, making him fall down on his knee.


    Once his kneended on the snow ground, LotusOfDeath moved around her and used her musket rifle to start choking Isaac.


    ''''Ugh!'''' A grunt of pain escaped Isaac''s mouth as the musket rifle was crushing his throat, stopping him from being able to breathe.


    ''''Anyst words?!'''' LotusOfDeath screamed in his ear and increased his strength.


    [-20 HP]


    Isaac saw a rain of notifications popping up in front of him, and his HP was reducing in scary speed.


    He tried to reach his musket rifle, which was lying on the ground only a meters away from him, but LotusOfDeath didn''t allow him to do that.


    ''''Nost words? Fine by me.'''' She grinned and was about to crush his throat.


    Isaac felt that not being able to breathe was one of the most ufortable things he had ever felt and was almost sure that it might be the cruelest way to kill someone.


    After seeing that she didn''t seem to have any shred of mercy in her, Isaac decided to stop being merciful against her.


    He grabbed something from his jacket, and soon, the item he grabbed became visible.


    It was the Flintlock Pistol that he had been hiding since he left the cave!


    LotusOfDeath didn''t notice it yet, but soon, she felt something touching her stomach.


    Her head lowered, and instantly her eyes widened in shock as she saw a very familiar-looking gun being held by Isaac.


    *BANG!*


    Isaac squeezed the trigger without waiting for her to react to it.


    The bullet instantly pierced through her stomach.


    [-200 HP!]


    ''''Haaahhhhhhh!'''' Isaac took a long and relieved breath after LotusOfDeath stumbled back out of shock andpletely forgot to keep choking him.


    He slowly stood up while rubbing his painful throat.


    LotusOfDeath touched her bleeding stomach and became even angrier.


    She saw her musket rifle lying on the ground only a meter away. She quickly grabbed it and was about to pick it up, but then a foot mmed on the musket rifle, which stopped her from picking it up.


    She gritted her teeth and turned her gaze towards Isaac, who was standing on top of the musket rifle.


    Isaac glimpsed at his Flintlock Pistol and threw it away, even though it had one bullet left.


    ''''What are you doing?'''' She asked with venom but also confused after seeing the white-haired young man throwing away his weapon.


    Isaac didn''t answer, instead punched with his bare fist.


    *SMACK!*


    The punchnded on her cheek, which sent her sliding several meters.


    ''''Ahh¡­'''' She rubbed her numb cheek and gritted her teeth with hate, ''''Is this how you treat women? Just wait until I mention this in forums; you are ruined!''''


    Isaac unbuttoned his jacket and showed the red marks and bruises around his throat.


    ''''See?'''' He pointed at the bruises and said, ''''You did this.''''


    ''''So?'''' LotusOfDeath snorted, ''''Your point is?''''


    Isaac buttoned his jacket, and once his throat was covered, he replied, ''''At first, this wasn''t personal and only a game, which should be enjoyed, but you made it very personal.''''


    ''''Haha, what are you, a kid?'''' LotusOfDeath put her hands in front of her and grinned, ''''This is nothingpared to the real world, where I fought against wolves and bears.''''


    ''''No, you didn''t fight against them¡­'''' Isaac clenched his fist and continued, ''''You ambushed them and didn''t let them even fight back, just like you tried to do with me, isn''t that right?''''


    Her eyebrow twitched as she screamed, ''''Enough talking, I will kill yo¡ª'''' Her words were cut off as Isaac''s punchnded on her cheek, making her fall down on the ground.

 Chapter 204 - Isaac Vs. Lotus Of Death

    Chapter 204 - Isaac Vs. Lotus Of Death


    ''''Ahhh!'''' Lotus Of Death screamed with her cheek being swollen.


    She blinked nkly and couldn''t believe what was happening to her.


    She was chosen as the second person to join the tournament and was always proud of her skills with any weapon and used to be one of the greatest hunters in her home city.


    Now, she truly felt like her strength itself was nothing. Without her weapon, she was like hundreds of animals she had hunted before.


    Weak, without being able to fight back.


    ''''B-But¡­ I-I was second to be chosen¡­'''' She murmured with disbelief, ''''I-I am strong¡­ Strongest¡­''''


    ''''Second one to be chosen? What do you mean?'''' Isaac rubbed his knuckles and asked after hearing her murmurs.


    She turned her teary eyes towards Isaac and said, ''''I-I was second¡­ There were only two when I was chosen, and I was the second¡­''''


    ''''Well, I was the third one,'''' Isaac said, which caused Lotus Of Death to widen her eyes in shock.


    ''''You are then worse than I am!'''' She suddenly screamed and slowly stood up, ''''I-I won''t be defeated by the people who are weaker than I am!''''


    ''''Don''t you understand that everyone was chosen a week ago and a lot happened at that time rate, even though you were second, you might not be even in top ten anymore.''''


    ''''SHUT UP!'''' LotusOfDeath screamed and grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and threw it at Isaac.


    Isaac covered his face, and once the snow disappeared from his view, LotusOfDeath was already punching!


    Her punch contacted with his forearms, and the ground below them was very slippery, which sent him sliding backwards.


    ''''Aarghhhhhhh!'''' She screamed and tackled Isaac, which sent both of them rolling down the snow hill.


    ''''Oof¡­ Ahh!'''' LotusOfDeath''s limbs hit Isaac''s body, and every now and then, he face nted on the snowy ground.


    Soon, they stopped rolling after they reached the bottom of the hill.


    ''''Ptui!'''' Isaac spat out the snow from his mouth and turned around to see LotusOfDeath standing up.


    ''''Argh!'''' He stood up, with his back making cracking noises.


    *Crack*


    He patted his back and felt his muscles rxing, which were quite stiff only recently because he had to sit the whole day on the hard ground.


    ''''Ahhhhh!'''' LotusOfDeath screamed and rushed towards Isaac with her fists flying around.


    Isaac dodged the first two punches, and then he counter-attacked with a body blow.


    *POW*


    His fistnded on her stomach, which made her stumble backwards several meters beforeing to a stop.


    ''''A-Ahh¡­'''' All air left her lungs, and she had trouble breathing, but Isaac used that as his advantage and pushed her away.


    Her body flew through the air after a sudden attack from Isaac.


    *BAM!*


    Her back crashed on a nearby tree, which caused her to spat mouthfuls of saliva.


    ''''Argh¡­'''' A painful grunt left her mouth as she looked at the notification in front of her.


    [-75 HP]


    [HP: 95/430]


    She has lost her HP bit by bit, and now it was below 100.


    She tried to push herself up with shaky arms, which was difficult, but after gathering enough strength to her legs, she managed, even though another painful grunt left her mouth.


    She rubbed her painful stomach and hatefully red at Isaac, ''''I-I will kill you!''''


    ''''Haahhh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' Isaac was taking deep breaths. This was one of the first times he had fought in hand-to-handbat, and it was starting to get exhausting.


    ''''Diee!'''' She screamed and threw a very sloppy-looking punch, which was painfully easy to dodge.


    Isaac simply took a step to the left and watched as the punch brushed past his face.


    But, LotusOfDeath wasn''t done as she unleashed her kick.


    The target was something Isaac didn''t expect.


    Her kick was nearing his manhood, which had enough strength to break it and would cause pain like no other.


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock and quickly moved out of the way, but the kick managed to scratch his lower half of the leg.


    ''''Argh¡­'''' He felt a pinching sensationing from his leg, but it soon disappeared.


    ''''Stop dodging!'''' She screamed and turned her face towards Isaac, which was still obscure underneath the hood.


    ''''Should I let you hit me then?'''' Isaac asked sarcastically.


    ''''Yes!'''' She screamed surprisingly, ''''Or are you scared?!''''


    ''''What the hell¡­'''' He shook his head and felt that it was useless trying to argue against her.


    Her brain doesn''t seem to be working properly.


    ''''Don''t dodge!'''' She shouted and unleashed another punch. This time, the punch looked sharper and stronger in every way.


    Her shoulders seemed rxed, and her arm was stretched out properly.


    It was miles better than the previous sloppy punch she did.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes, ''Fucking sneaky¡­ She acted like she couldn''t punch properly to lower my guard. Is she acting like an idiot too?''


    After seeing that the white-haired youth had no ns of dodging, a grin found its way on her face.


    Her punch was only an inch away from hitting, and it was clear that it could not be dodged anymore!


    *POW!*


    Her punch sessfully hit Isaac''s stomach, making him spit mouthfuls of saliva.


    ''''Hahaha, fool!'''' She grinned with a sadistic look and was about to pull her fist back, but suddenly Isaac grabbed her fist!


    ''''Let go of me!'''' She started screaming and tried to pull her hand back, but to no avail.


    ''''I want to test something¡­'''' Isaac murmured, and a puff of cold air left his mouth.


    ''''Let go of me!''''


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' Another puff of cold air left his mouth, and soon, his lips started turning blue.


    [Icy Shot Used!]


    His hands, which were grabbing her fist, started freezing over, but it didn''t do any apparent damage to him. Instead, the ice started spreading all around LotusOfDeath''s fist!


    ''''Aahhhhhhhhhhhh!'''' She started screaming even louder with teardrops dropping down from her eyes.


    Her fist turned into an ice cube, and she felt cold like never before.


    She felt like she was dropped down on an icy river.


    Her HP started dropping drastically.


    ''''P-Please¡­'''' She tried to plead mercy with her teeth nking.


    ''''Be a better person from now on.'''' Isaac took a step backwards and watched as LotusOfDeath started turning into pixels.


    ''''Aaahhh¡­'''' Her screams came to a stop as she disappeared from the World of White.

 Chapter 205 - Black Night’s Defeat

    Chapter 205 - ck Night''s Defeat


    *SWOOSH*


    *ZAP*


    *ZAP!*


    A beam of crimson light traveled through the dark forest.


    Everywhere it flew, destruction followed.


    Burnt trees and the destroyed ground was everywhere around the ce of destruction.


    The snow that was even near the crimson light was instantly melted, leaving a puddle of water behind.


    *CRASH!*


    The crimson light crashed with a mountain and tried to pierce through it, but soon the beam lost its strength and disappeared into the nothingness.


    Soon, a dark cloaked figure appeared; he was ckNight!


    ckNight rubbed his itchy eye for several seconds, and soon the itching stopped.


    *BANG!*


    He quickly moved behind the tree and saw a bullet flying past him.


    His blue eye once again started turning red.


    *SWOOSH!*


    A st of crimson flew through the air and destroyed a small snow pile around fifty meters away from him, but he didn''t receive a notification that he had killed anyone.


    ''''Argh!'''' He once again had to rub his itchy eye.


    *BANG!*


    After hearing another loud sound, he quickly jumped away, and once hended on the ground, he rolled several meters before arriving at a nearby tree, which he could use as cover.


    His previous spot exploded, making the snow stter around the forest.


    ''''Tsk.'''' ckNight grabbed his musket rifle tighter and nced at his XP Bar.


    [Level 39]


    [XP: 9770/10000]


    ''''Only one kill¡­ Damn!'''' After getting so close to his goal, he met a yer that managed to fight against him in equal standings.


    He knew where his opponent was, but he was unable to make any significant injuries to him because his opponent kept moving rapidly.


    It was like he never stopped and kept running around while shooting every now and then.


    *BANG!*


    But then, another loud sound appeared, which made ckNight flinch, and he was about to move away, but then, with his Eye of Tracker, he noticed his opponent suddenly falling down.


    His eyes widened in shock after realizing that someone else had appeared and killed his opponent!


    ''''Heh¡­'''' ckNight chuckled and aimed his musket rifle towards his opponent''s corpse and waited for the person to arrive.


    ''Thank you for killing him, but you are a fool if you think I will let you live¡­'' He scanned the area and, for some reason, didn''t see anyone.


    ''''Hmm?'''' He frowned and stopped aiming.


    ''''What the hell?'''' ckNight slowly stood up and used his Eye of Tracker but didn''t see anyone; not even a speck of dust came into his view.


    The forest around him was silent, with no soul in sight.


    *Crack*


    ckNight flinched with cold sweat pouring down his back. He raised his head, and at the top of the tree, he saw a dark cloaked figure with his face obscure and his long gun being shrouded in some kind of ck clothing.


    ''''Shit!'''' His eye quickly changed colors, and he sent a st of heat towards the unknown figure in the tree.


    The figure in the tree jumped down, easily dodging the heat vision, which sted the top of the tree into pieces.


    ckNight saw the dark cloaked figurending on the ground only a meters away.


    His eye once again became bright red, and he was about to send another crimson beam, but then¡­


    *SMACK!*


    The unknown figure pped ckNight on the cheek, which pushed his head to the side.


    *SWOOSH!*


    The crimson beam left his eyes, but he wasn''t targeting the unknown figure because of the p. Instead, the heat vision destroyed several trees beforeing to a stop.


    ''''Interesting ability¡­'''' The unknown figure suddenly said.


    ''''Grrr!'''' ckNight''s neck was aching, but he tried to ignore it, and once again, his eyes changed shades until it was bright red.


    *SMACK!*


    The unknown figure pped ckNight''s cheek, which changed the trajectory of heat vision and caused it to miss his body by several meters.


    ''''Fuck!'''' ckNight was bing enraged and stopped using heat vision. Instead, he pushed his musket rifle forward, trying to hit the unknown figure with the thin de.


    But, the unknown figure''s pnded on the side of the de, which deflected it away.


    The thin de missed his body, and it was painfully obvious that it wasn''t even close to hitting him.


    ''''What?! Impossible!'''' ckNight screamed and soon saw a fist that was covered in ck glove approaching his face.


    *POW!*


    His feet left the ground and were sent flying far away.


    His flying body managed to miss the trees, but the hard ground was waiting for him once hended.


    *BAM!*


    ckNight''s bodynded in a painful position on the ground, and if it was in real life, his neck might have broken.


    Once his body stopped rolling, his body looked like it was in a broken state, but he managed to move his limbs.


    ''''A-Ahhh!'''' He screamed and shakily stood up. His vision was getting darker, and his Eye of Tracker stopped working.


    It had another w.


    If ckNight''s HP falls below 50, he can''t use his Eye of Tracker.


    Because the vision will be blurry and dark, which affects the Eye of the Tracker significantly.


    *Crack*


    A fear started rising in him after hearing a twig snapping in half.


    The unknown figure walked at a slow pace. His strapped weapon on his back looked very menacing with the dark cloak.


    ''''W-Who are you¡­'''' ckNight uttered with a fearful gaze; he could already see his dreams of receiving Legacy getting further away.


    ''''Who I am isn''t important, but your identity is.'''' The unknown figure started going through his pockets, and soon, a silver-colored card appeared in his hand.


    ckNight narrowed his eyes and saw the unknown figure dropping the card in front of him.


    With his freezing hands, he grabbed the card, and once he saw the text on the card, he dropped it down in shock.


    ''''Y-You are?'''' His face, which was a fearful only moment ago, became shocked.


    ''''Shh¡­'''' The unknown figure yfully put his finger on his own lips and started walking away.


    ''''W-Wait!'''' ckNight screamed and watched as the unknown figure was walking deeper into the darkness, ''''You are Marksman?! Why?! What are you hiding?!''''


    ''''You get your answers, but first, keep hunting the yers.'''' His words echoed in his ears, and soon, the unknown figure had disappeared.


    Leaving ckNight alone with dozens of questions assaulting his mind.

 Chapter 206 - Brightstar

    Chapter 206 - Brightstar.


    In real life.


    Brightstar, The Capital City of Starshow.


    The jewel of Starshow, Brightstar, was amon sentence in Wintend.


    It was the City where thergest poption of Starshow was located, and it was easily one of the most wealthiest cities in the entire Wintend.


    The city had the greatest numbers of skyscrapers, hotels, buildings, and cars.


    The streets and even the surrounding area of Brightstar were covered in snow, but it wasn''t a soft type of snow; instead solid.


    The streets looked like they were painted in white as the snow covered every part of the roads and streets.


    People of different ages and gender walked in harmony in the street, while kids younger than ten tried to touch the snow, but it was too solid and hard to properly touch it, and they only managed to feel the coldness of the snow.


    Expensive and luxurious-looking cars drove in the streets, all of them having winter tires because it was illegal on Wintend to drive without.


    Even if the snow was melted, the roads were incredibly slippery, which caused a lot of car crashes for inexperienced drivers, but then thew was introduced.


    Cars without winter tires couldn''t be called as cars because they were simply impossible to drive with.


    Brightstar also had a very hierarchy-based society, but no oneined because everyone could rise in the hierarchy if they put enough effort into doing so.


    Many have failed in doing so, but many have also seeded and managed to rise from poverty to wealth.


    Brightstar has threeyers, and each one of them has its own attractions.


    The firstyer was called the Layer of Tourism.


    Ayer of Tourism has the highest amount of tourist locations than all citiesbined.


    They have locations that were impossible to find without traveling to other Continents.


    A House of Summer.


    A House of Spring.


    A House of Autumn.


    Three houses with simr names but vastly different insides.


    Each one of the houses represents one of the seasons, and citizens of Wintend, who have only seen winter in their lives, can go there and see how would it be to live on other Continents and to feel the warmth of summer, rain of spring and beauty of autumn.


    There were also world-ss museums and much more.


    Even though the Layer of Tourism was around the outer edge of the City, it was still the most popted and visited.


    Even citizens from the other twoyers usually visit the Layer of Tourism, and some might even move there.


    The secondyer was called the Layer of Feasting.


    It wasyer with the greatest amount of restaurants and food-rted sources. The biggest food suppliers are from Layer of Feasting, and it was one of the greatest sights in the entire Winterlight.


    It has been said that Layer of Feasting always has a scent of food in the air, and the greatest chefs in Wintend were born from there.


    Final Layer was a somewhat closedmunity, withmoners not allowed to enter.


    Rarely anyone from Layer of Tourism was allowed, but there were many wealthy people from Layer of Feasting who were allowed to live in the finalyer.


    The final Layer was called Layer of Nobility.


    As the name suggested, it was where the wealthy people from Starshow lived.


    It was located at the center of the Brightstar, and it was surrounded byrge metallic fences.


    The beauty of the houses was a source of motivation for the younger generation. They became motivated after seeing the ces because they started dreaming about living in such luxurious conditions.


    That was what Brightstar''s Government nned, to make the younger generation more motivated so that the younger generation would secure their future.


    But, only one of ten will seed, but that was enough, and when there were over a thousand graduates with each year, that one will be multiplied, and soon it was hundred sessful younger generation members.


    Currently, in a Layer of Nobility.


    There was a mansion that looked quite simr to hundred other mansions, and each one of them had a luxurious car in the yard, while beautiful women and handsome men were exiting and entering the mansions.


    Professional-looking servants were cleaning the yards, and the same sight was seen in almost every one of the yards.


    The mansion, almost identical to others, had metal gates and fences surrounding the yard.


    But, no servants were seen in the yard.


    The yard was easily around 50 meters in length, which was incrediblyrge for a simple yard, but it was amon sight in Layer of Nobility.


    On top of the metal gates, a sign was hanging.


    The edges of theyer were golden in color with text in silver.


    [Whitelock]


    A name that was incredibly famous in Snowstar was also found in Brightstar.


    Currently, inside the house.


    A meeting was currently being held.


    There were dozens of older men and women sitting around a round table in the living room.


    They all had a te of fancy-looking food in front of them and a ss of wine.


    ''''Malcolm, are the rumors true?'''' A man around his 50s asked from a ck-haired man who was sitting next to an elderly woman, who still looked quite attractive even though her hair was getting grayer.


    The elderly woman smiled and took a sip of the wine.


    Malcolm, who heard the question puffed his chest, ''''Depends; what are you talking about?''''


    ''''Maxwell''s son will be visiting, isn''t that right?'''' Another old woman asked, who had pair of expensive-looking earrings hanging from her ears.


    ''''Madison, you must be excited.'''' Another old woman, who was sitting next to the attractive older woman said.


    The attractive old woman, whose real name was Madison Whitelock, nodded with a slight giggle escaping her mouth.


    Even though she had obvious signs of getting old, she still had her own kind of charm around her.


    ''''I am, but this stubborn old goat is trying to act tough, even though he is as excited.'''' Madison looked at her husband, Malcolm, who was flexing his muscr arms, trying to act like he didn''t know what she was talking about.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Malcolm snorted and turned away, but that only earned a round of chuckles from the people present.


    Madison shook her head and nced at the clock on the wall.


    Surprisingly, it only showed that the time was 1 P.M!


    The date was still showing Wednesday, which means that while the Legacy Tournament hassted over 10 hours, only 1 hour has passed in real life!


    She instantly looked impatient after knowing that they would have to wait the whole day before they could meet their grandchild.

 Chapter 207 - Brightstar’s Nobility

    Chapter 207 - Brightstar''s Nobility.


    ''''Don''t speak nonsense.'''' Malcolm said and gulped the wine down his throat, but his cheeks didn''t even redden, ''''Knowing Maxwell, his son must be a bookworm as well.''''


    Madison rolled her eyes, ''''Old fool, then why have you started reading books?''''


    *Cough*


    Malcolm went into a coughing fit, and after seeing everyone having knowing smiles, he tried to shrug it off.


    ''''Ahem, what? Can''t I read? Am I not allowed to?''''


    Madison rubbed her forehead and was impressed by her husband''s thick skin, which even a steel sword can''t prate.


    ''''He never changes.'''' A woman next to Madison shook her head. She had hair that was turning from brown to gray with wrinkles about to former in the corner of her eyes.


    She was part of Brightstar''s Nobility, and her family was one of the most famous ones in the entire Starshow.


    Her name was La Bluesky.


    Next to her was her husband, who was wearing a monocle on his right eye and a lengthy beard, which reached all the way to his chest, which made trademark description of his.


    His name was Leonardo Bluesky.


    Leonardo rubbed his lengthy beard and has known Malcolm for several decades. He goes often hunting with him, and has gotten used to his stubborn personality.


    ''''Your grandchild is 18 years old, correct?'''' An old man with grayish hair and a wrinkly face asked from the other side of the table.


    His name was Marshall Snowflower, and he was president of a Pharmaceutical Company called Snow Flower.


    They are one of the lead medical suppliers, and theirpany was starting to spread to nearby countries Continents.


    Unlike others, he was sitting alone, the reason was unknown, but no one seemed to mention anything about it.


    ''''That''s correct,'''' Malcolm said towards Marshall, who was his childhood friend, and with his own eyes, he witnessed how his friend became a titan of the Pharmaceutic business.


    ''''Same age as my grandchild¡­'''' Marshall murmured, and his aged face became filled with sorrow, ''Even after seeing all the medicines in the world¡­ Winter Illness is still something that I cannot cure, and it is about to take another important person from me.''


    He almost broke the wine ss that was in his hand, but no one noticed the sudden change in his face except his long-time friend, Malcolm.


    Malcolm sighed deeply, ''First, he lost his wife because of that cursed illness, and now his granddaughter¡­ How tragic.''


    ''''How is your granddaughter doing?'''' Malcolm asked, which caused a silence to surround the room.


    Madison widened her eyes and elbowed her husband''s waist while signaling with her eyes.


    ''What are you saying?!'' She screamed internally, and everyone knew that it was a very sensitive topic.


    Marshall froze but soon replied, ''''She is doing¡­ Better and she will be visiting us in few days.''''


    ''''In a few days? Are you sure it''s a good idea?'''' Madison asked with worry and knew very well how deadly the illness was.


    ''''Yes, she had another surgery, and she needs a few days to fully recover from it, but the surgery helped to slow down the illness, and she might be able to spend the next few months outside the hospital.''''


    ''''That''s wonderful,'''' Madison replied, but a severe look didn''t leave her face.


    Surgery will only make the patient temporarily fine, but another suffering will be ahead once the effect disappears.


    ''''Anyway, let''s change the topic; I don''t want to ruin the gathering.'''' Marshall chuckled and said, ''''I was snooping around, and I heard that one of your grandchildren had an ident year ago?''''


    Malcolm and Madison grimaced but nodded.


    ''''That''s horrible what happened to him,'''' Marshall said and was genuinely stunned after hearing the news. Something like that happening was definitely out of the ordinary, and even the chance of dying was rtively high.


    ''''Whoever did that will be brought to justice,'''' Madison said and took a sip of the wine.


    *Clink* *Clink*


    Suddenly, La used her spoon and clinked the ss several times, which attracted everyone''s attention.


    ''''This meeting was supposed to be lighthearted.'''' She giggled, making the heavy atmosphere disappear into a cloud of smoke.


    Madison smiled and put the ss down on the table, ''''That''s right, enough of the younger generation, and it is time to talk about something else.''''


    ''''Malcolm, you are going for the hunting trip on Friday?'''' Leonardo asked.


    ''''Yes, maybe we should gather up the group of old men like us and go for a few hours; maybe we get lucky,'''' Malcolm replied.


    ''''Are you sure it''s a good time?'''' Madison asked and continued, ''''Our grandchild ising to visit us first time ever, and it might be time for us to apologize for our stupid behavior when we still were young.''''


    ''''Sorry about that.'''' La wryly smiled.


    It was her and Madison''s idea to have their children marry with each other, but that ended very badly.


    Madison was always worried about Maxwell choosing the wrong one, and that feeling became more intense after seeing him falling in love with that shopkeeper.


    She thought that he was being tricked, and she wanted to marry him because of his wealth.


    But, she has realized that she was very wrong and Isabe was the best possible wife for their son.


    ''''It''s not your fault.'''' Madison shook her head, ''''It is mine¡­ I should have talked with Maxwell and not force him.''''


    They sighed in unison and wished that they had the power to travel back in time.


    Malcolm scratched his cheek and said with some uncertainty, ''''Maybe he cane with me to hunting?''''


    Madison''s eyebrow twitched, and she snapped, ''''Are you nning to force him as you did with our son?! Is your brain rotten!'''' Her face became red, with smokeing from her ears.


    La wryly smiled and patted Madison''s head.


    Madison soon calmed down but still red at her husband.


    Malcolm paled and waved his hand, ''''O-Of course not.''''


    ''''We won''t force him to do anything.'''' She said with a chilly look, ''''If he wants to, he can go hunting with you, but do not pressure him!''''


    ''''R-Right!'''' Malcolm wiped his sweat and glimpsed at the clock that was ticking down so slowly.

 Chapter 208 - Attack of the Wolves

    Chapter 208 - Attack of the Wolves.


    In White Online.


    The snow forest where Legacy Tournament was being held was getting brighter.


    The long and cold night was over.


    A cold and chilly wind blew past the forest, sending a scent of nature in the air,


    The snow reflected the image of a sun that was shining up in the sky.


    Instantly after the forest became brighter, gunshots followed.


    *BANG!*


    *BANG!*


    Bullets flew in the air, destroying trees and nature.


    Somewhere in the forest, in a dimly lit cave, a white-haired young man was packing his items.


    Isaac stayed a whole night in his cave, which didn''t have as much cover after the ceiling crumbled, but it was enough for him.


    After the night, he realized how long the tournament wouldst.


    ''Today I was supposed to leave for Brightstar¡­ I hope my grandparents won''t be angry at me for beingte.'' He thought because he didn''t know that the time was moving slower in real life!


    It has been only around 2 hours in real life, while the tournament has soonsted 24 hours.


    Isaac nced at the number of Contenders left and was shocked to see only 70 remaining.


    Forty-two died on the first day.


    He was somewhat proud of surviving, but now the hard part began.


    He left the cave and moved quickly.


    Isaac had a location on his mind, where he wanted to be desperately, but reaching that ce was an entirely different matter.


    Snowy terrain and trees covered his vision; everywhere he turned his head, the same view was shown.


    It was incredibly beautiful but also scary at the same time.


    *BANG!*


    Isaac came to a stop and turned his head to the left. He saw birds flying away after a loud sound appeared.


    He narrowed his eyes and noticed that it didn''te from far away. Instead, there might be less than five hundred meters distance between him and the yers who were fighting.


    He didn''t want anything to do with this because that sound alone attracted everyone yer who was near, and he still had his own goal in mind.


    ''''Huff¡­'''' Isaac started running, trying to increase the distance as much as possible before more yers arrived.


    After half an hour of running in silence, he saw something shocking in the distance.


    In the distance, dozens of broken trees and the destroyed ground were seen.


    It was like a battlefield of titans, and Isaac knew whoever was fighting here was incredibly powerful.


    But, looking at the signs of the battle, he knew that it happenedst night.


    But, just to be sure, Isaac avoided the area and made a slight detour.


    Soon, the area of destruction was left behind, and Isaac continued his journey.


    After another half an hour, he reached an area where he could already see his destination.


    After killing LotusOfDeath, he quickly rushed back to his cave and climbed to the top of the small mountain, where he could see much farther than from the tree.


    It was very dark, but he still saw something fascinating!


    It seems that the forest wasn''t only a forest.


    Like in Forest of Unknown, there was a sign of civilization in the Snow Forest!


    Isaac exited the forest and appeared in front of a frozen sign.


    [We co e]


    Letters were missing, but Isaac knew what it was supposed to say.


    ''''Wee¡­'''' He looked past the sign and saw dozens of buildings that were mostly frozen.


    They were wooden buildings with the wooden part beingpletely covered in ice and windows that had ayer of ice, which blocked from Isaac seeing inside the buildings.


    In the middle of the small vige was a water well, but it was fully covered in snow.


    *Crunch*


    Isaac started walking deeper inside the vige, his shoesnding on top of the snow, making a trail of footprints behind him.


    He walked past the well and saw it being fully covered in snow, maybe even ayer of ice thatpletely blocked it.


    The vige was surrounded by the Snow Forest, covered by trees from every side.


    Isaac was sure that nobody would be able to find the vige, maybe with great luck.


    But, even if someone found it, Isaac debated whether they would find anything useful from here.


    They could take shelter, but he doubted that it would be warm inside the frozen buildings.


    Soon, he reached the end of the vige and saw the biggest building so far.


    It had two floors with cracked windows, but the building wasn''t frozen; instead covered in a thickyer of snow.


    On top of the building were five steps of wooden stairs that were covered in ice.


    Isaac put his right foot on top of the first step and almost slipped, but he grabbed the handrails and slowly started walking up the stairs.


    Only those five steps took him thirty seconds.


    After reaching the top, he went straight to the wooden doors that were tightly shut.


    First, he tried to push it open, but it didn''t even budge.


    *BAM!*


    Then, he tried kicking, this time, the door showed signs of moving, but it didn''t open.


    After kicking didn''t help, he looked around the building, trying to find another ce to enter, but there weren''t any.


    Isaac moved to the cracked windows and looked inside, but the interior was very dull.


    The floor was covered in snow, while the items inside the building were destroyed into pieces.


    He shook his head and walked down the stairs, again with the help of handrails.


    He thought he would be able to get something from the biggest building, but it was a long shot.


    Looking around the vige, he hoped that there would be food, but nothing could survive in there.


    Isaac started walking again, but after only taking a few steps, he came to a stop.


    Every yer stopped.


    Everyone froze; no one could even breathe or blink.


    ''What is happening?!'' Isaac screamed inside his mind and saw the snowkes dropping down from the sky, but he was unable to move for some reason.


    Soon, every yer heard a voice inside their mind.


    ''''The second phase of the Tournament shall begin¡­ Attack of the Wolves! Good luck, and whoever survives till the end of this phase will be the final contenders.'''' It was the same voice they heard when they were first teleported.


    *BANG!*


    A sound appeared.

 Chapter 209 - Flaming Wolf

    Chapter 209 - ming Wolf.


    After the sound appeared, everyone was able to move again.


    Isaac instantly looked towards the sky and saw a single bullet flying straight towards the blue sky!


    The bullet looked simple, but it was oozing with power!


    *BANG!*


    Once the bullet reached a high enough altitude, it exploded, and the rain of millions of smaller bullets appeared!


    *BOOM!*


    *BAM!*


    *BOOM!*


    *KABOOM!*


    *Ba-Thump!*


    Isaac''s heartbeat started racing as he watched the destruction, which was caused by a single bullet.


    The ces where the miniature bulletsnded were soon lit in mes, and from the fire, Wolves appeared!


    The wolves had fur that was on fire, and their ws were like des!


    *SWOOSH*


    Soon, the ws also turned into mes, and the snow below them melted away instantly!


    ''''AWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!'''' Tens of thousands of howl''s appeared, and everyone instantly understood that this was a power that was above mortal men!


    Isaac looked towards the forest, which was surrounding the vige.


    He could see a cloud of smoke appearing from everywhere, even managed to see oneing from less than a hundred meters away!


    ''''Awooooooooo!'''' A wolf''s howling came from the forest, and from there, arge four-limbed figure with ming fur appeared.


    ''''Grrr¡­'''' The wolf that appeared was growling menacingly with saliva trickling down from the gaps of its sharp teeth.


    Isaac quickly grabbed the musket rifle and aimed it towards the wolf.


    *SWOOSH!*


    The wolf leaped into the air and shed with its ming de-like ws!


    Isaac rolled on the ground to the side and heard the ground breaking not far from him.


    Once the wolfnded on the ground, the snow melted away, and its massive body caused the earth to crack apart.


    ''''Grrr!'''' The wolf turned itsrge head towards Isaac and opened its massive jaw.


    *SWOOSH*


    Once again, the wolf lunged forwards, and this time, the sharp teeth were lit in mes!


    The wolf took arge bite, which had enough strength to kill Isaac a dozen times over!


    But, Isaac had already escaped far enough to dodge the deadly bite.


    [Icy Shot Used!]


    Ayer of ice appeared on the barrel, and Isaac didn''t wait any longer.


    He fired!


    *BAM!*


    A muffled sound appeared; even though it sounded somewhat innocent, the strength it packed couldn''t be underestimated!


    The icy bullet struck the wolf in the head, but it soon melted away.


    ''''Grrr!'''' On the wolf''s forehead, a bump appeared.


    It dealt damage, but a very negligent amount.


    The wolf was much angrier than before.


    The wolf lowered its stance, and the tail moved back and forth.


    Isaac aimed the musket rifle towards the wolf, who was preparing tounch its deadly attack.


    *CRACK!*


    The ground below the wolf cracked, and it lunged forwards!


    Therge shadow of the wolf ovepped Isaac''s much shorter figure.


    Human Vs. Beast.


    The ming ws started approaching Isaac''s attractive face while his finger was squeezing the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel andnded straight on the wolf''s body.


    Isaac quickly stepped to the side and watched as the ming w missed his body with arge margin.


    The wolf crashed to the ground, and soon, the light on its menacing-looking eyes disappeared, and the ming fur died down.


    [You Killed ming Wolf!]


    [2000 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 36 -> Level 37]


    ''''Haahh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' Isaac breathed deeply and looked around the vige, but no signs of another ming wolf appearing.


    He was about to leave the vige and escape as far as possible, but then he remembered.


    He, like every other yer, has a food problem!


    Isaac had enough food tost several days, but LotusOfDeath destroyed his food!


    ''''Maybe¡­'''' He rubbed his chin and arrived next to the wolf.


    For some reason, the wolf wasn''t disappearing.


    It was the same with yers, they won''t disappear instantly, but LotusOfDeath did because she was literally frozen!


    The Real-Life Mode has a safety mechanism that if someone gets frostbite or were getting so cold that it might affect their mental health, they would be teleported away from the game.


    Isaac got the kill and XP from it, but Real-Life Mode decided that she died by freezing, which made her avatar disappear as well.


    It sucked because he couldn''t get her bullets, but he thought he had enough tost till the end.


    He crouched next to the dead wolf and touched its fur, which was still very warm!


    *Rumble*


    ''''Ahh¡­'''' Isaac bit his lip after his stomach rumbled, and he wasn''t sure whether he could concentrate properly without food.


    He has gotten used to having his belly filled during his childhood and rarely has he felt this much hunger.


    Maybe it was the first time.


    It started distracting him, which was a bad sign.


    With no choice left, he used the thin de of the musket rifle and started gathering the meat.


    He threw the organs, etc., away.


    No matter how hungry he was, he won''t eat those, no matter how desperate his situation was.


    Soon, a few piles of fur and animal meat was next to him.


    He wiped his sweat and started carrying them, but he thought that leaving the vige like this was a suicide.


    He tried his luck and went back to thergest building.


    It was a difficult task to reach the top of the stairs, but he managed to do so after a minute.


    *CRACK*


    Isaac smashed the windows to pieces with his elbow and threw the meat and fur inside the building before climbing inside.


    *Thud*


    ''''Ouch!'''' He identallynded on his butt, which caused a grunt of pain to escape his mouth, but the pain soon subdued, and he could concentrate on the task ahead.


    Inside the building, he saw a table that had fallen down, but it seemed to be the only item that wasn''t broken!


    He turned it over and put it gently on the floor.


    After that, he dumped the meat and the fur on top of it.


    *CREAK*


    The table creaked and shook after the sudden weight appeared, but it didn''t break apart.


    Isaac took a deep breath and was about to go back to the wolf because there might be something else left, but his steps soon came to a halt.


    From the broken window, he could perfectly see towards the vige''s entrance, and the sight made him truly fearful.


    One¡­


    Two¡­


    Five¡­


    Ten¡­


    He saw in total ten ming wolves suddenly appearing!


    They sniffed the air, and soon, they found the dead wolf.


    ''''Awoooo!'''' They started howling in anger and made sure to kill the person who killed one of their brothers!

 Chapter 210 - Isaac Vs. Alpha Pack

    Chapter 210 - Isaac Vs. Alpha Pack.


    *Sniff*


    The ming wolves sniffed their dead brother, but they smelled another scent lingering in the air.


    Also, they smelled the scent of their brother from a different ce.


    Their fierce red eyes turned towards therge building.


    ''''Grrr¡­'''' They slowly started moving closer to the building.


    Inside the building.


    Isaac slowly moved away from the window and started approaching the stairs that led to the second floor.


    He left the meat and fur behind because the wolves could smell it from a mile away.


    *Creak*


    Isaac grimaced after taking the first step on the stairs. A loud creaking sound appeared, and he wasn''t sure whether it could hold his weight.


    *Creak*


    But, he also heard the same creaking noiseing from outside; the wolves were getting near!


    *Creak*


    *Creak*


    He quickened his pace, skipped as many steps as possible, and only had to step on three steps to reach the top.


    But he couldn''t go any quieter.


    After reaching the second floor, the floor was filled with dozens of boxes.


    The boxes were covered in a thickyer of dust, making it clear that no one had been here for several decades.


    *BAM!*


    Isaac''s face changed shades after hearing the sound of the door getting exploded into pieces.


    And soon, more creaking noises appeared as the wolves entered the building!


    Isaac tiptoed towards a nearby box.


    He used his sleeve to clean the dust so that he could open it.


    The edges of the boxes were slightly frozen, but he only had to increase the strength of his arms to open it.


    Even though his body didn''t hold as much strength he had hoped, it was still enough.


    After the box was opened enough, he looked inside and widened his eyes in shock.


    The box was packed with clothing made of animal fur.


    They seemed to be in perfect condition; whoever made them obviously cared a lot about the clothes and managed to make them perfect.


    *Creak*


    The sound of a wolf nearing the stairs was getting near.


    Isaac jumped inside the box and was about to close the box, but then he noticed that he couldn''t lie down with his musket rifle!


    ''''Shit¡­'''' He cursed out of habit and took off his musket rifle before putting it gently down on the ground, right behind the box so that it won''t be noticed by the wolves.


    After he was done, he closed the box and lied down on top of the pile.


    Darkness surrounded him, and his heart started racing.


    *Ba-Thump!*


    *Ba-Bump!*


    *Creak*


    *CRACK!*


    Isaac closed his eyes and heard the stairs breaking down, he hoped that it would stop the wolves, but it didn''t.


    The sound was getting nearer, and soon, he heard the sound of fire crackling!


    *Crackle*


    A scent of something burning reached Isaac''s nose, which made him grimace.


    *Creak*


    He stopped breathing as someone arrived on the same floor where he was.


    ''''Grr¡­'''' Distinct sound of wolf growling traveled to his ears.


    Isaac unbuttoned his camouge jacket, and underneath the coat, a Flintlock Pistol became visible!


    He took the Flintlock Pistol and felt the gun''s weight on his hand.


    He knew that there were two bullets inside; it gave him two shots to finish off the wolf.


    *Bam*


    The box started shaking.


    The wolf was striking its massive head on the box like it knew that something was inside!


    ''''Fuck it¡­'''' Isaac kicked the top of the box away, which revealed him to the wolf.


    ''''Awooooooo!'''' The wolf howled, and its sharp teeth started burning!


    ''''Fuck you!'''' Ichiro touched the wolf''s nose with the barrel of Flintlock Pistol and fired!


    *BANG!*


    The bullet pierced through the skull of the wolf effortlessly, but¡­


    ''''AWOOOOO!'''' The wolf didn''t die.


    A narrow hole was on the wolf''s face, but it still didn''t die!


    The Flintlock Pistol doesn''t have enough firepower to kill a creature of such level, but¡­


    ''''I have a second bullet too¡­'''' Isaac changed the aim and aimed at the wolf''s eye instead.


    *BANG!*


    The bulletnded on the wolf''s eye, and this time, the whole head exploded!


    Sending a rain of blood and pieces of its skull flying everywhere!


    Isaac''s attractive and delicate-looking face was instantly dyed in red.


    ''''Ptui!'''' He spat out the blood that managed to enter his mouth.


    ''''AWOOOOOOO!'''' Sound of wolves came from the downstairs, and he heard how they were rushing towards the second floor!


    Isaac put the Flintlock Pistol inside his jacket and buttoned it back on, which covered the pistol and the armor he was hiding.


    He jumped out of the box and grabbed his musket rifle.


    He tried to find a way out with an anxious look, and behind the boxes, he noticed a window!


    Isaac quickly jumped over the boxes and kicked at the window, sending broken ss pieces flying around.


    He used his elbow to destroy the rest of the window so that his body could fit.


    But then¡­


    *BAM!*


    Isaac turned around saw a crowd of wolves appeared from the stairs.


    The wolf that was in front of others leaped towards Isaac with its massive jaw wide open.


    Isaac quickly exited the building through the window, and now he was standing on top of a balcony, with a long fall ahead.


    He stopped to think about the best way to jump down, but that cost him dearly.


    *CRASH!*


    The wolf crashed through the wooden wall and appeared right on top of Isaac.


    Its massive body crashed onto Isaac, which made both of their bodies to crash through the wooden handrail.


    *CRACK*


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock after seeing him falling down while a massive wolf was trying to bite at him.


    *BAM*


    The wolf was the first to crash onto the hard ground, and Isaac was the second one, but hended on top of the wolf''s ming body!


    ''''Aarghh!'''' Isaac quickly jumped away while his camouge outfit was on fire!


    He quickly started rolling on the snowy ground, which soon killed the fire, but arge ck mark was on his shoulder.


    ''''Grrr!'''' The wolf stood up and turned around to re at Isaac with murderous intent.


    The rest of the wolves jumped down from the second floor andnded next to their Alpha.


    Isaac looked at the sight and sighed deeply, ''''I am in trouble¡­''''

 Chapter 211 - Isaac’s Dignity

    Chapter 211 - Isaac''s Dignity.


    Isaac, with shaky hands, aimed the musket rifle at thergest wolf, who seemed to be the Alpha.


    The Alpha growled menacingly, and a small fireball appeared on its throat.


    The fireball started growing bigger and bigger until it was too big to keep inside its mouth.


    ''''AWOOOOOO!'''' With a mighty cry, the fireball left its mouth, which caused a chain reaction, and a massive st of fire appeared in front of the wolves.


    The st of the fire melted away the snow around the vige.


    The frozen buildings fell apart after the ice, which was the only thing keeping the buildings standing, melted away.


    Isaac crossed his arms and watched as the fire raged around him.


    The buildings that broke apart were soon lit in mes.


    The Alpha and the rest of the wolves stomped over the fire and surrounded Isaac.


    Isaac kept turning circles, his musket rifle in aiming position.


    Only four bullets remained in the chamber, and there were nine wolves remaining.


    ''''Awooo!'''' Isaac quickly turned around, just in time to see one of the wolves lunging forwards with its massive jaw, ready to bite his head off.


    *BANG!*


    He subconsciously squeezed the trigger.


    The bulletnded perfectly on the wolf''s face.


    *SPURT!*


    The head exploded, and the massive body of the wolf fell down to the ground.


    [You Killed ming Wolf!]


    [2000 XP Earned!]


    ''''Awooo!'''' The wolves howled angrily, and Isaac didn''t even have time to react as he felt a stinging pain in his lower leg.


    *SPURT!*


    A rain of blood appeared, which shocked Isaac.


    He lowered his head and saw one of the wolves chewing on his leg!


    ''''GRRRRRRR!'''' The wolf kept growling while trying to bite through the bone, which wasn''t far away from happening.


    *BANG!*


    Isaac fired his musket rifle and watched as the wolf''s head exploded into a bloody mist.


    But, his lower leg had a massive bite mark, which made him feel lightheaded.


    After the wolf died, another wolf lunged forwards and shed with its ming w.


    *SPURT!*


    The w shed through his flesh and sent him crashing down to the ground.


    His vision was getting darker as the wolves'' shadows were nearing him.


    [-190 HP!]


    [HP: 99/420 - Lizard Scale Armor Effect!]


    ''''Arghhh!'''' Isaac used the musket rifle to stand, but instantly after he stood up, another wolf lunged towards him and crashed onto him.


    ''''Pah!'''' His eyes widened in shock, and a mouthful of blue blood left his mouth.


    *CRASH*


    His body crashed to the ground and bounced several times beforeing to a stop.


    [-90 HP!]


    [HP: 9/420]


    ''''Ptui!'''' Isaac spat out several teeth of his, and he could barely see two meters in front of him, but he could feel the threatening presence of death approaching him.


    ''''Grrr¡­'''' A wolf lowered its head and sniffed Isaac''s head, but soon, it opened its massive jaw and was ready to take a juicy bite.


    ''''Not¡­ Happening¡­'''' Isaac murmured painfully and grabbed the musket rifle that was lying on the ground next to him.


    He slightly changed the trajectory and squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    ''''Awo¡­'''' The wolf felt something piercing through its throat, and soon, the wolf started suffocating on its own blood.


    The wolf kept staggering backwards but soon fell down with light leaving its eyes.


    [You Killed ming Wolf!]


    [2300 XP Earned!]


    ''''Awoooooooo!'''' The Alpha howled in anger after seeing one of his brothers dying to the weak-looking youth.


    Isaac shakily stood up and saw the broken state of his body was.


    He wryly smiled and let out a quiet sound of pain, ''''Oww¡­''''


    *SWOOSH*


    Isaac knew what wasing; he thought that he would die anyway, so he might as well die with dignity.


    He stumbled to the side and saw the wolf missing his body.


    The wolf quickly turned its massive head and rushed after Isaac with itsrge ming body burning the nearby wooden logs to crisps.


    With his shaky hand, Isaac aimed his musket rifle towards a nearby wolf.


    The wolf felt the threat of the musket rifle and surprisingly jumped to the side, and then leaped towards Isaac with its ming w in a shing stance.


    ''''Doesn''t matter¡­'''' Isaac murmured and pushed the musket rifle forwards!


    *SPURT!*


    The thin de pierced through the wolf''s throat and exited from the other side of the skull.


    Isaac couldn''t keep carrying the wolf''s weight, which made him fall down to the ground, but soon another notification popped up in front of him.


    [You Killed ming Wolf!]


    [2000 XP Earned!]


    ''''Haahhh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' His chest moved up and down, and with fatigued eyes, he looked at the six remaining wolves, who were growling with a menacing look.


    All of them opened their mouths at the same time and started approaching Isaac.


    Isaac dropped his musket rifle after not being able to keep carrying it.


    He didn''t look fearful, instead red straight at the Alpha''s eyes, which were bright red, filled with murderous intent.


    ''''Grrr¡­'''' The Alpha growled, and its ming teeth were nearing Isaac''s throat.


    ''''I hope that I don''t get traumatized¡­ I like dogs, after all¡­'''' Isaac murmured and felt the Alpha''s hot breath making his face warm.


    But then¡­ Isaac heard a voice inside his mind.


    ''I like dogs too.'' The voice wasing from the Mythical Figure!


    Same rank as the monstrous Baba Yaga!


    Isaac remembered Baba Yaga''s strength, but he had a hunch that the owner of this voice was even stronger!


    After the voice appeared, the wolves stopped approaching Isaac. Instead, they turned around and started galloping away!


    ''''What¡­'''' Isaac narrowed his eyes, but with his dark vision, he couldn''t see where the wolves had left.


    The voice also disappeared.


    ''Why was I saved?'' He thought in his mind and tried to stand up, but seeing the condition of his leg; he gave up on that.


    His left leg was almost gone, with bones popping out and blue blood dripping down to the ground.


    After ten minutes of lying on the ground.


    He felt his bones starting to get fixed by themselves.


    Bones popped on their right spots, and the bleeding stopped while the flesh recovered.


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]


    [Your wounds have been healed!]

 Chapter 212 - Isaac’s Dream

    Chapter 212 - Isaac''s Dream.


    The sky above Snow Forest became dark once again.


    The fire that was raging in the forest died down, and the ming wolves disappeared suddenly.


    Snow Forest became silent and tranquil like the previous nightmare just didn''t happen.


    There weren''t any yers that managed to survive without injuries.


    Inside the vige.


    Isaac was sitting in front of the campfire that was located on the first floor of thergest building.


    The fire didn''t spread because the floor was very wet, which made the fire impossible to spread.


    On top of the campfire, meat was currently being cooked.


    Every now and then, Isaac turned it around, trying to cook it evenly.


    The meat was getting darker in color, but he didn''t stop and wanted it to be properly cooked before he tasted it.


    *DING* *DING*


    Suddenly, a loud dinging voice appeared, and soon, every yer alive saw a notification in front of them.


    [Second Phase Is Over!]


    [Contenders: 10]


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock, ''''Only ten remaining?!'''' With disbelief, he patted his head.


    But then, he remembered the wolves'' sheer strength, and it wasn''t surprising that so many died.


    Even he should have died, but he was saved for a reason unknown to him.


    He was saved by the person who created the Legacy Tournament.


    Isaac thought it was strange for him to help him and wondered if the person who owned the voice had helped someone else.


    And, why him?


    He didn''t think himself as a special person.


    Soon, the meat had finished cooking, and Isaac moved it away from the fire.


    The meat was still smoking.


    ''''Huu¡­'''' Isaac took a small bite and felt the hotness spreading from his tongue all the way to his throat.


    ''''Hot¡­'''' He murmured and gulped the meat down.


    The taste wasn''t anything great; very nd and hard to chew at.


    Isaac grimaced but forced himself to eat it, even though it wasn''t exactly the best food he had eaten.


    He ate for another ten minutes, and once he was full, there was still over half of the meat left.


    But, he covered it with the animal fur and went to outside to put it inside a snow pile.


    This way, the meat will be preserved.


    He instantly returned back to the building and closed the doors.


    The doors didn''t break after all after the wolves stormed in, but instead, the ice did.


    The door was still somewhat broken, not stayingpletely shut, but it was enough for Isaac.


    Isaac lied down on top of the animal clothing, which he took from the boxes and covered his body with it.


    He felt warmth, which he hadn''t felt ever since he came to the Snow Forest.


    Soon, his eyelids became heavier, and he fell into a deep slumber.


    ¡­


    ''''Mmm¡­'''' Isaac''s body had some signs of movement. His face looked ufortable like he was having a nightmare.


    His eyelids slowly opened, and a bright light appeared in front of him.


    He quickly covered his eyes with his hands and slowly sat up.


    Isaac kept blinking his eyes, trying to get used to the sudden light, and soon, he managed to see in front of him.


    But, the sight was what surprised him.


    In front of him were trees; everywhere he looked at, there was snow and trees.


    ''''Wha¡­'''' Isaac quickly stood up and moved his hands behind him to grab his musket rifle, but he didn''t feel anything.


    He turned his head, and his musket rifle was missing!


    Looking at his body, he noticed that his leather pouches, which contained his bullets, were also missing!


    So was his Flintlock Pistol.


    He was standing in the middle of a forest without any weapons or protection.


    He patted his chest and grimaced after feeling his chest below the jacket, which means that his Lizard Scale Armor was also missing!


    ''''Fuck¡­'''' An curse escaped his mouth as he looked around the forest angrily.


    ''''I got robbed¡­ Is this some fucking joke?'''' Isaac clenched his fist and felt humiliated, but soon, he felt a hand touching his shoulder.


    He flinched and quickly jumped away.


    Afternding back on the ground, he turned around to see who touched him but didn''t see anyone.


    He frowned, but then, once again, he felt a hand touching his shoulder.


    ''''What the fuck!'''' Isaac kicked behind him with anger filling his face, but the kick only hit the air, while the person who touched him wasn''t anywhere to be seen.


    Once again, behind him, there was a person who touched his shoulder.


    Isaac''s eyebrow twitched as a cold puff of air left his mouth.


    [Icy Shot Used!]


    He pped at hand with his own hand that was covered in ayer of ice.


    But, his p missed andnded on his shoulder instead.


    His shoulder started having ayer of ice.


    ''''Damn!'''' He destroyed the ice with his fist, but after this experience, he was even angrier.


    ''''Stop ying around!'''' Isaac shouted towards the person who was ying around with him.


    ''''Rx your muscles, you are so stiff, and that is not good.'''' A voice came behind him, and Isaac instantly unleashed another kick behind him, but he kicked nothing but air again.


    ''''Who are you?'''' Isaac lowered his leg and asked as calmly as he could, ''''Why did you rob me and throw me into the forest?''''


    ''''You haven''t noticed yet?'''' The voice asked.


    ''''Notice what?'''' Isaac asked with a frown and looked around him but didn''t see anyone in sight.


    ''''That you are dreaming!'''' The voice suddenly said and appeared in front of Isaac!


    Isaac flinched and took a quick step back.


    He frowned after a figure, who was even shorter than him, with a ski mask appeared.


    ''Ski mask¡­'' Isaac gulped and felt his legs going weak. His trauma, caused by the men with ski masks, started acting again.


    Even though he killed his fears, the fact still stands that they are still out there, walking freely.


    The man with the white ski mask saw Isaac focusing on his mask; it was the source of Isaac''s fear.

 Chapter 213 - Dreamland

    Chapter 213 - Dreand.


    ''''Calm down.'''' The man with a white ski mask said as calmly as he could.


    Isaac took deep breaths, and after calming down, he asked, ''''What do you mean I am dreaming?''''


    The man with a white ski mask nodded after seeing Isaac managing to calm down so quickly.


    He was bing more sure that he had chosen correctly.


    ''''This is your dreand.'''' He pointed around them, towards the endless forest, which had no end, ''''How fitting¡­ Your dreand is a snow forest, like mine.''''


    ''''Dreand?'''' Isaac frowned.


    The man nodded, ''''Everyone has their own dreands hidden deep inside their minds.''''


    ''Is this another feature of White Online?'' Isaac thought.


    ''''It''s not.'''' Suddenly, the man said, like he heard his thoughts.


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock and saw the man pointing at the sky.


    ''''This is Isaac''s dreand.'''' The man said and lowered his hand.


    ''''How do you know my name?'''' Isaac asked; he kept looking straight at the man''s eyes but had no idea how he looks underneath the mask.


    ''''It would be strange if I didn''t know.'''' He chuckled and put his arms wide open, the man continued, ''''Every living being has their own dreand; it is a ce where your dreams happen.''''


    Isaac frowned and then remembered a dream, ''''In one of my dreams¡­ There was an person with full white clothing, killing his enemies effortlessly.''''


    The man nodded, ''''That was you.''''


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock and wondered what it meant.


    ''''Usually, in the dream''s, you are unable to control your body and it is kind of on autopilot, but if you have trained to control your mind, you can move freely in the dreand.''''


    ''''Wow¡­'''' Isaac eximed.


    ''''In your own dreand, you are¡­ God!''''


    ''''God¡­'''' Isaac murmured, but then shook his head and asked a question, ''''Then why are you here?''''


    ''''I infiltrated your dreand, sorry about that, but I wanted to talk with you.'''' The man turned around and kicked at the nearby tree.


    *CRACK*


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock as the man''s kick effortlessly cut the tree in half, and the top part of the tree flew across the air untilnding on the ground with a thud.


    The man sat down on the wooden log that was only moments ago still an ordinary tree.


    He saw Isaac''s amazed look.


    ''''That was nothing.'''' The man suddenly said and patted the log, ''''Sit down, let''s have a talk.''''


    Isaac slowly sat down next to him.


    ''''Remember what I said when I chose you?'''' The man asked.


    Isaac frowned and thought about the scene when he was chosen as one of the contenders but didn''t really remember what he said at that time.


    The man noticed his uncertainty, ''''I said that you were my favorite contender; do you know what that meant?''''


    Isaac bit his lip and said, ''''That¡­ You want me to be the Legacy Carrier?''''


    ''''Correct.'''' The man said, and before Isaac could ask questions, he continued, ''''You are thinking why right?''''


    Isaac nodded; he didn''t understand why he was chosen in the first ce.


    The man smiled underneath his mask and looked at him, ''''Remember when you assigned your stats?''''


    Isaac nodded, ''''What about it?''''


    ''''There are thousands ofbinations, but you chose exactly the same as I did.''''


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac shouted, ''''You are yer?''''


    ''''No, haha.'''' The man chuckled, ''''One day, a holographic screen appeared in front of us all, and the Gods told us to assign stats, which we thought would fit us best.''''


    Isaac widened his mouth wide open and knew where this was going.


    ''''Next day, yers started appearing, and I felt¡­ Connection.'''' The man patted Isaac''s shoulder and said, ''''Connection that someone chose exactly the same stats as I did! Gods said that every Legacy has one best possible host, and it was exactly the person who chose the same stats as the Legacy Figure.''''


    ''''So¡­ I am that person?'''' Isaac asked and saw the man nodding.


    ''''I want you to win, but I already broke one of the rules by saving you from the wolves; I can''t help you anymore.'''' The man stood up and sighed deeply, ''''I wanted to give you the Legacy the moment I saw you, but¡­.''''


    He shook his head and red at the sky, ''''But, there was someone else who wanted you as Legacy Carrier as well.''''


    ''''Who?'''' Isaac asked and slowly stood up.


    ''''A God.'''' The man said and saw Isaac''s face turning into shock.


    ''''Sounds amazing, right?'''' The man asked, ''''It would be an obvious choice. Mythical Legacy or Godly Legacy, everyone would choose thetter instantly.''''


    ''''I don''t think it''s the obvious choice,'''' Isaac said and saw the man''s eyes widening in surprise.


    ''''Why¡­ Godly Legacy is a higher rank. It would make you very wealthy.'''' The man asked with a curious look.


    ''''Well¡­'''' Isaac tapped his chin and answered, ''''I don''t want to change my ss. I will either get a Legacy with Marksman ss or none at all.''''


    ''''Some of the Godly Legacies give powerful sses enough to give the yer unlimited power; you don''t desire that?'''' The man asked.


    ''''Well¡­ That sounds tempting, I am not going to lie, but what is the point if I don''t enjoy the game?''''


    ''''You don''t enjoy being stronger than others?'''' The man once again asked; he kept looking at Isaac''s face, trying to see any falsehood.


    ''''I want to be strong!'''' Isaac roared and looked at his frail arms, ''''But, in my life, I have never enjoyed anything; it was like I have lost that emotion of enjoyment.''''


    The man frowned and kept listening.


    ''''The feeling of achieving something incredible should feel amazing, but I felt nothing like it was an ordinary day in the office.''''


    Isaac sat back down on the log and said, ''''I used to be able to do things that were considered impossible, but I thought it was pretty ordinary; that''s why I didn''t feel that good about myself.


    ''''But then¡­'''' He took a deep breath and exhaled, ''''Then, White Online arrived, and I chose Marksman ss, first time in a while; I felt amazed about myself.''''


    The man smiled and said, ''''You feel amazed to be able to outsmart your opponents.''''


    ''''Also¡­'''' Isaac put his hands in firing position like he was still carrying the musket rifle.


    But then¡­ An outline of a gun appeared on his hands, and soon, a musket rifle appeared!


    ''''To be able to hit a shot that seems impossible was an incredible feeling. The feeling of recoil rocking your shoulder, and the sight of the bullet hitting your target.''''


    ''''Indeed¡­'''' The man opened his clenched fist, and the snowkended right on his palm, ''''Do you want to know how it feels to be a God?''''

 Chapter 214 - Human Vs. God!

    Chapter 214 - Human Vs. God!


    ''''Indeed¡­'''' The man opened his clenched fist, and the snowkended right on his palm, ''''Do you want to know how it feels to be a God?''''


    ''''God..?'''' Isaac watched as the man snapped his fingers, and a gun appeared in his hand.


    It looked quite simr with the musket rifle, but there wasn''t a thin de next to the barrel, and the gun looked like a gun that could be seen in the present time, while the musket rifle was an almost ancient relic.


    ''''Let''s fight.'''' The man suddenly said and aimed the gun straight at Isaac.


    ''''W-What!'''' Isaac quickly hid behind the log and shouted, ''''Why?! I can''t beat you!''''


    ''''Take a deep breath.'''' The man advised, ''''In dreand, you are God.''''


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' Isaac took a deep breath and murmured, ''''I am God¡­''''


    His gray eyes had a reaction.


    His pupils, which were still round, started changing until it was in the shape of a snowke!


    The gray eyes started turning shades until they became blue-colored!


    The bright sky above the dreand started changing colors until it was in the shade of gray with clouds appearing out of nowhere!


    From the clouds, tiny snowkes started dropping down!


    The man looked at the sight with fascination.


    ''''Power of Weather, pretty good!'''' He aimed his gun towards the sky, where clouds were forming.


    ''''But, not good enough!'''' He squeezed the trigger, which sent a shockwave all around him.


    *BANG!*


    The snow below the man was blown away, and hundreds of the trees were pulled up from their roots.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and was almost sent flying as well but managed to stay on the ground while hundreds of the trees were flying away.


    The bullet that left the barrel of the gun flew through the air and only left a streak of silver behind as it pierced through the clouds.


    *SWOOSH*


    The hundreds of the clouds were blown away, and the gray sky instantly disappeared, the previously blue sky appearing once again.


    *Snap*


    Isaac snapped his fingers, and a musket rifle appeared in his hand. He stood up and aimed it straight at the man, who was still in his firing position.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel like a cannon, and it only took a split second for it to arrive at the ce where the man was standing.


    The man with a white ski mask noticed the bullet approaching, but he didn''t panic and simply crouched, but that was enough to dodge the bullet.


    The bullet brushed past his head and flew far away but left a trail of broken trees behind.


    ''''Not good enough.'''' He said and went into a crouching firing position and aimed at Isaac''s head.


    *BANG!*


    He squeezed the trigger, and a bullet much faster than Isaac''s appeared!


    *SPURT!*


    The bullet pierced through Isaac''s forehead, but that wasn''t all; his head exploded into a bloody mist.


    The man stood up and smiled, ''''God''s can''t die by ordinary means.''''


    Isaac''s body fell down on the snow ground, but soon, his head started to regenerate!


    Soon, his head was back.


    ''''Haahh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' Isaac touched his face and felt incredibly relieved that his head was back.


    Getting your head exploded wasn''t a nice feeling.


    *Thud*


    He saw a shadow appearing in front of him.


    Isaac looked towards the wooden log and saw the man standing on top of it.


    ''''We have still several hours before you wake up, so you better learn how to be a God, or your head will explode a few hundred times.'''' The man smirked underneath the mask and aimed the barrel at Isaac.


    ''''Wait!'''' Isaac screamed.


    *BANG!*


    His head again exploded, but his head regenerated almost instantly this time.


    ''''Fine!'''' Isaac screamed and quickly stood up; his pupils, which were shaped like snowkes, started glowing!


    ''''Oh?'''' The man looked around him, and the snow on the ground started floating!


    *SWOOSH!*


    Soon, a snowstorm was raging all around the snowy forest with Isaac in the middle.


    The man was quickly covered in snow, but he didn''t move even a muscle.


    ''''Raaah!'''' Isaac screamed and reached his hand towards the man and clenched it into a fist, ''''Crush!''''


    ''''Oh.'''' The man felt the snow crushing his body into pieces, but his face still didn''t show a sign of pain.


    ''''Good try, but not good enough.'''' The man suddenly flexed his muscles, which sent a shockwave that destroyed the snow!


    Isaac covered his body with snow but was almost sent flying away.


    Once the man was freed from the snow, he reeled in his fist and punched at the snow that was covering Isaac''s body.


    *POW!*


    The punch sent Isaac flying across the air, his body moved recklessly, like a ragdoll, and his body didn''t seem to have any intention of stopping.


    The snowstorm that was destroying the forest calmed down.


    *CRASH!*


    Isaac''s body finallynded on the ground, but his body kept bouncing up and down for a few kilometers before finallying to a stop.


    Once his body stopped, his body was broken and in pieces, but soon, he regenerated, and instantly, he stood up.


    *SWOOSH*


    The man with white mask leaped through the air for several kilometers, and once he saw Isaac on the ground, he aimed his gun and fired.


    *BANG!*


    ''''Oh¡­'''' Isaac didn''t even have time to react as the bullet pierced through his body, which made his whole body to explode!


    But that wasn''t all.


    Once the bullet struck the ground, an explosion appeared that destroyed everything in a five hundred meter radius!


    The mannded on the ground with hundreds of meters of pure destruction around him.


    Soon, he saw Isaac slowly regenerating.


    Isaac didn''t wait for his whole body to be regenerated.


    He stood up with only half of his body regenerated. A Flintlock Pistol appeared in his hand, which he aimed straight towards the man with a white ski mask.


    ''''You are God; you can do anything!'''' The man shouted withughter, ''''But, God isn''t all-powerful, and there are humans that can defeat them!''''


    ''''Oh, like who?!'''' Isaac shouted back, and soon, his body waspletely regenerated.


    The man smirked and aimed his gun at Isaac, ''''Me!''''

 Chapter 215 - Firestorm

    Chapter 215 - Firestorm.


    ''''Ah!'''' Isaac''s eyes snapped open as he sat up with cold sweat pouring down from his pores.


    ''''Haahhh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' With a painful gaze, he touched his waist, which was aching.


    Looking around him, he noticed that he had returned from the dreand.


    Around him, the dusty and neglected building''s walls were protecting him from the cold.


    ''''Ahhh¡­ It was crazy¡­'''' He covered his face, and for thest several hours, he fought against the Mythical Figure; and he would like to say that he fought well, but it would be a lie.


    Even though he was God in his own dreand, he didn''t even manage to scratch his opponent!


    The Mythical Figure mopped the floor with him.


    He died thousands of times, and sometimes he managed to fight back, but that didn''tst long, and he was killed instantly.


    His back ached, and even though he got regenerated in the dreand, some of the pain was still transferred to his avatar, but it was a very minuscule amount.


    ''Good luck¡­'' Isaac heard the Mythical Figure''s voice inside his mind.


    ''''Thanks¡­'''' He stood up and saw the fire still going strong on the campfire.


    He quickly packed his stuff and stomped the campfire down until the fire waspletely extinguished.


    Once he was done, he finally left the building, picked up his food and started walking towards the entrance of the vige.


    The buildings were burnt to the crisps, while the smoke from the fire was still present.


    A big portion of the forest had burnt trees and ground; it told a lot about the destruction the ming Wolves brought with them.


    Isaac halted his steps and stopped in front of three piles of ashes. They were in equal size, with burnt clothes at the bottom of the piles.


    ''Three yers died here¡­''


    He frowned and looked around the forest.


    There was no soul in sight, like everyone had disappeared from the world and only Isaac was left.


    But, he had a hunch that it was the calm before the storm.


    And, he was right.


    *DING* *DING*


    Isaac looked straight in front of him, where notifications started popping up.


    [Final Phase Begins!]


    [Firestorm!]


    ''''Firestorm..?'''' Isaac frowned, but then the entire forest trembled!


    *CRACK!*


    *BANG!*


    A loud gunshot was heard.


    Isaac turned around and saw a bullet flying through the air.


    *BOOM!*


    Once the bullet reached a high enough altitude, it exploded, and immediately a crimson dome appeared around the forest!


    On the outer edges of the forest.


    A flicker of me appeared, and soon, the fire started spreading from the ground until dozens of the forest were on fire!


    The fire quickly started spreading, and soon the whole outer edge was in mes!


    A wildfire appeared!


    Slowly, the fire started spreading more and more, causing a thick smoke cloud to surround the sky.


    The blue sky disappeared, reced by a thick grayyer of clouds.


    Isaac, after seeing the sight, knew that something was wrong.


    He turned around and started running deeper into the forest.


    From the sky, something started falling down.


    Isaac felt something very lightnding on his shoulder, he thought it was a snowke at first, but after turning his head, he saw it was ash!


    Ashes started falling down from the sky, soon covering the snow in ashes and destroying the previous beautiful nature.


    While running, Isaac saw something strange.


    He turned towards right and saw a red light in the distance!


    He narrowed his eyes and, with his excellent eyesight, saw what it was, ''''Fire¡­ Firestorm!'''' Isaac widened his eyes and understood what the final phase was about.


    The firestorm will force everyone to move, which means that it was only a matter of time before the remaining yers met with each other!


    Isaac rushed into motion and started running as fast as his agility stats lets him.


    But, soon, he came to a stop after seeing a very strange sight in the distance.


    He saw a crimson light moving across the air, destroying everything in sight.


    ''''What the hell is that¡­'''' Isaac looked behind him and noticed that the firestorm was still some distance away, but it was moving rapidly.


    *CRASH!*


    The crimson light destroyed dozen more trees before disappearing.


    ''''What the fuck?'''' Isaac frowned and looked around him.


    He was currently in a location that was surrounded by four mountains, all of them with a height of 20 meters.


    Around the mountains were the forests, and far away was the firestorm.


    Instantly, Isaac understood something.


    ''''This is the center¡­'''' He touched the snowy ground and muttered, ''''This is the ce where everything will be decided¡­''''


    *CRASH!*


    Isaac frowned after the crimson light reappeared from the distance and another dozen trees were destroyed.


    But, he also heard the distinct sound of screams.


    Isaac quickly climbed to the top of the mountain that was right next to him.


    It was covered in a thickyer of snow, giving Isaac a nice amount of cover at the top.


    He lied down on the snow ground and aimed his musket rifle towards the crimson light.


    The barrel of the musket rifle was barely peeking through the snow.


    After half an hour of waiting, he still didn''t see anyone.


    The firestorm surrounded the 500-meter radius of the area, and soon, it stopped moving.


    Isaac gulped and knew that nine other yers were currently hiding within the five hundred meter radius!


    A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.


    He kept anxiously looking around him and thought about leaving his current position.


    ''Does someone have me in their sight?'' Isaac anxiously thought and became paranoid.


    He felt an itchy feeling in his back like someone was looking straight at him.


    *BANG!*


    Suddenly, a gunshot was heard.


    Isaac raised his head and saw a bullet flying through the air, but it wasn''t aimed at him.


    *DING* *DING*


    [yer Syrnan DEAD!]


    [Contenders: 9]


    ''They are now showing who dies?'' Isaac gulped, but then with the corner of his eyes, on top of one of the four mountains, the snowkes was floating around the mountain top.


    It was like someone just fired a gun, and the recoil sent the snow below him to fly away.


    Soon, he found out the reason for the weird phenomenon.


    He saw an barrel of a musket rifle, and soon, he saw a head of a figure who looked utterly oblivious that he has been spotted.


    Isaac slowly moved the barrel, and once the figure was on his sights.


    His exposed finger touched the metallic trigger. With his sensitive fingertip, he felt the coldness and toughness of the trigger, which was an instrument of death.


    A puff of cold air left his mouth and his finger moved.


    *BANG!*

 Chapter 216 - Legacy Tournament’s Final Phase

    Chapter 216 - Legacy Tournament''s Final Phase.


    ''''Hmm?'''' A man with a short beard and bushy eyebrows raised his head, but that was a mistake on his part.


    *SPURT!*


    The man fell down on his side and saw blue blood coloring his vision, and once he saw his vision getting darker, he knew that he had died.


    ''''Who killed me!'''' He screamed with anger, and soon his vision waspletely dark.


    [You Have Been Killed By yer Wraith!]


    Back in the White Online.


    Isaac removed his finger from the trigger and saw notifications popping up.


    [You Killed yer RoboticSane]


    [2000 XP Earned!]


    [yer RoboticSane DEAD!]


    [Contenders: 8]


    Only in a few moments did two yers die, but Isaac knew that it would soon be a three!


    He quickly stood up and jumped down from the mountain, and only momentster, four bulletsnded on the spot where he was.


    Isaac used the mountain wall to slow down his fall and soon reached the ground.


    He lowered his body and quickly started running towards another mountain, which he could use as cover.


    But, during his run.


    Two bullets flew right past him, but because he had his body lowered, they missed.


    Soon, he reached the mountain and instantly hid behind it.


    Only twenty meters away from him was the firestorm, which made it very unlikely that someone was hiding near him.


    The forest once again calmed down.


    But thatsted only a moment.


    *BANG!*


    [yer LOLOLLL DEAD!]


    [Contenders: 7]


    ''''Everyone is dying¡­'''' Isaac was tapping the side of his musket rifle anxiously.


    Every yer left knows where he was, while he doesn''t know where everyone else was!


    He was practically dead if he couldn''t somehow get out of other yers'' radar.


    But then¡­


    *SWOOSH*


    Isaac raised his head, and in the sky, he saw a crimson light flying!


    He looked shocked, but soon the crimson light stopped, and instead of going forward, it went straight down!


    Straight towards Isaac!


    ''''What!'''' He quickly stood up and leaped away with his incredible agility.


    *CRASH!*


    The ground exploded, sending pieces of mountain and earth flying around.


    The crimson light disappeared, but Isaac was sure that it wasn''t thest time he would see it!


    ''''Is it someone''s skill?'''' He thought and hid behind a tree, ''''What kind of fucking overpowered skill is that!''''


    Few hundred away from Isaac''s position.


    ckNight''s red eyes became blue.


    ''''Damn¡­'''' He rubbed his itchy eyes, ''''I need to kill more yers¡­ Otherwise, I will be dead!''''


    After remembering the person, who defeated him effortlessly, he became pale and desperate to kill more yers.


    ''I wonder where he is currently.'' ckNight peeked behind the tree where he was hiding and wondered where that monster was currently hiding.


    He knows that he will be waiting till the end and then makes an appearance.


    After he appears, no one will be able to fight back, and everyone will be as good as dead.


    ''''I need to kill the rest of the yers¡­ Maybe then I will be allowed to join his Guild!'''' ckNight turned his head towards one of the mountains, where he knew that at least one person was hiding!


    His blue eyes had a tinge of red as he left his hiding spot and rapidly moved past the trees, but no one shot at him.


    He was using Eye of Tracker and knew where everyone was hiding, but like previously, he had no idea where that monster was hiding.


    It was like he had a skill that allowed him to bypass his detection.


    On the other side of the mountain, he saw an outline of a figure hiding behind a tree.


    Looking at the figure, ckNight snorted after seeing how weak-looking the person was.


    ''Surviving only with camping¡­ Pathetic.'' He doesn''t understand how people can find enjoyment in camping.


    ckNight has always enjoyed being in the front of the action.


    He chose Swordsman ss at first but was destroyed in only ten minutes!


    He got defeated by the baby wolves and other yers.


    ckNight noticed that he had no skill at Close Quarter Combat.


    He died only an hour after White Online was released, but he had another VR Helmet ready if the first one broke.


    He created a new ount and, this time chose Marksman''s ss!


    But, it didn''t take long for him to hear how useless the ss was.


    In the forums, he even saw one of the King Figures insulting the ss and saying how useless it was.


    ckNight became depressed and thought that he wasn''t destined for great things.


    He wanted wealth so he could do anything he wanted.


    He was ugly-looking in the real life and bullied a lot because of it.


    His facial features aren''t something that can be called pleasant to look at; instead, many would want to look away.


    That truly crushed him, and he cursed his parents for a long time for giving him bad genes.


    But, on the inte, he saw how people with money could achieve anything.


    Fame, women, cars, he could even buy friends!


    In his mind, he thought that everything circled around money.


    He became obsessed with money.


    Then, he was chosen for the Legacy Tournament, but because it was only Mythical, he wasn''t interested in it.


    He wanted a Godly Legacy!


    Godly Legacy would fulfill all his dreams, and he could achieve anything he wanted!


    He joined the tournament for Legacy, but he wasn''t nning to ept it.


    He heard how people talked about special rewards in the forums if someone rejects the Legacy.


    yers won''t leave empty-handed, and some said that rejecting Mythical Legacy will give Godly Legacy!


    ckNight believed it blindly but had no idea that the forums were made by jealous people who want others to reject the Legacies, so they have a higher chance of getting them.


    His chances of winning were destroyed after getting defeated by the monster, but after realizing his identity.


    He was genuinely shocked.


    The figure was precisely the person who insulted the Marksman ss in the forums!


    That made him think, was there something hidden within the Marksman ss?


    Could it make him rich?


    He didn''t know, but he made up his mind.


    He doesn''t have to get the Legacy.


    Instead, joining the monster''s Guild was enough for him!


    Endless riches were not far from him, but he needed to show his worth to achieve his dream.


    ''''No hard feelings¡­ But you need to die!'''' His blue eyes turned bright red, and another beam of heat vision left his eyes!

 Chapter 217 - Isaac Vs. BlackNight

    Chapter 217 Isaac Vs. ckNight.


    *Crackle*


    A crimson light flew across the air. A fire flickered around the light, increasing the heat everywhere it went.


    Once the light flew past the trees, the snow melted away, leaving a puddle of water at the bottom of the trees.


    Isaac perked up his ears and revealed his body for the first time; he looked straight towards the sound and saw a crimson light flying straight towards him!


    *BAM!*


    The crimson light destroyed the tree in front of him, sending broken tree pieces flying, but a few of the tree pieces struck Isaac in the chest, which sent him flying away.


    ''''Ugh!'''' His back crashed on the nearby tree, which caused blue blood to trickle down from his mouth.


    *SWOOSH*


    Another heat vision appeared only a dozen meters away from Isaac.


    Isaac wiped the blue blood from his lips and moved behind trees, but destruction followed everywhere the crimson light went.


    He rapidly moved from another tree to another, but the crimson light mercilessly followed.


    Soon, there weren''t any more trees left, and he saw the mountain in the distance.


    Isaac stopped in front of the mountain and looked around him; he was on a dead end.


    *SWOOSH*


    He turned around and saw another crimson light flying straight towards his unguarded face!


    Isaac jumped to the side, but the soft snow below his feet reduced the height of his jump.


    *CRASH!*


    The crimson light struck the mountain, which sent hundreds of small rocks flying around and one of them hit Isaac right on his forehead.


    ''''Ah!'''' Isaac painfullynded on the snow ground with a bump about to start forming on his forehead, and also headache followed.


    ''''Argh.'''' He rubbed his painful forehead and used the musket rifle to stand up, but soon he saw the crimson light disappearing, which meant it was only a matter of time before the crimson light returned.


    With swift movements, he went into a crouching position and had his musket rifle ready to be fired.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel of the gun like a rocket.


    ckNight, who was hiding behind a tree, saw as the bullet flew far away to the distance; it wasn''t even close to hitting him!


    ''''Haha, what a shitty aim!'''' He roared inughter and knew the white-haired youth would hear him, ''''Who taught you to shoot, a blind old man?!''''


    Isaac didn''t change his facial expressions because he knew that he was trying to make him lose his cool, which wasn''t going to happen.


    ''''This is how you kill someone!'''' ckNight left his hiding spot, and his eyes were already bright red!


    ''''Heat Storm!'''' He screamed, and a beam of crimson energy left his eyes, which destroyed every tree around him!


    Isaac quickly jumped away to safety and watched as the crimson light kept wreaking havoc.


    ''That skill is so unfair¡­.'' He frowned and wondered what Arthur was nning for giving such broken abilities.


    ''''Ugh!'''' ckNight closed his eyes and started rubbing them. His eyes felt more irritated than ever before.


    Isaac took a sigh of relief after finally things calmed down, but he knew that he didn''t have much time.


    He looked towards the distance and saw a figure with a dark cloak rubbing his eyes; and the first idea was to shoot, but he knew that it was doomed to fail.


    But, he saw something else.


    There were dozens of broken trees and only one remaining.


    He remembered one particr scene of the man with a white mask destroying a tree with a simple kick.


    Isaac had insane thought and had a hunch that it would work!


    He saw the dark cloaked figure had stopped rubbing his eyes but didn''t seem to be concentrating on him yet.


    ''''Might as well gamble with my life¡­'''' Isaac lunged forwards and rushed towards the only remaining tree!


    ckNight heard footsteps and turned his head towards the sound.


    He was surprised to see the white-haired young man running recklessly, and it wasn''t even towards him.


    ''''Did he lose his mind?'''' ckNight frowned. He couldn''t see Isaac''s face correctly because of the hood and thought that he was a boy, which was indeed correct.


    His blue eyes once again turned red, and the irritation returned.


    ''''Die!'''' He screamed, and when another beam was about to leave his eyes, he finally saw what the white-haired figure was nning to do!


    *BAM!*


    *CRACK!*


    Isaac leaped through the air and unleashed his kick, which struck the tree''s center.


    At first, nothing happened, but soon the bottom of the tree started cracking, and Isaac saw that the tree needed only one more push to fall!


    But then¡­


    *SWOOSH!*


    The beam of heat vision left ckNight''s eyes, and Isaac thought that this was it.


    He was going to die, but surprisingly, ckNight''s aim wasn''t perfect, and instead of aiming towards Isaac, he aimed at the lower part of the tree!


    The heat vision effortlessly pierced through the tree, and ckNight instantly noticed his blunder.


    ''''Oh no¡­'''' The tree started falling straight towards him!


    ckNight didn''t waste any more time and jumped to the right, but it wasn''t enough.


    The treended right on top of his right leg.


    ''''Ah!'''' ckNight facented on the ground and tried to move his leg forwards but noticed that his right leg was stuck!


    He turned his head and paled as he saw his right leg being stuck underneath the tree trunk!


    ''''Fuck, no!'''' He tried to pull his leg desperately, but nothing worked.


    Isaac appeared on top of the fallen tree and looked at ckNight with his gray eyes.


    ''''You dare?!'''' ckNight''s eyes turned bright red as he screamed, ''''You weakling, die!''''


    A beam of crimson light left his eyes and missed Isaac''s body, but it started destroying everything around them!


    Isaac quickly decided to leave and not finish off his opponent because it was only a matter of time before the crimson light hits him.


    As he was running away while dodging the deadly beams of crimson light, he heard a gunshot behind him.


    *BANG!*


    ckNight, who was rampaging, suddenly felt something sharp piercing through his forehead.


    ''''Ehh¡­ What¡­'''' His body became lifeless and a notification popped up in front of him.


    [You Have Been Killed By yer King us!]

 Chapter 218 - Unbeatable

    Chapter 218 - Unbeatable.


    ''''Hmph, useless.'''' On top of one of the tallest trees, a dark cloaked figure was seen sitting, while arge dark-cloaked gun was resting on his arms.


    His bright blue eyes underneath the mask started glowing, and he instantly knew where the other yers were.


    He fired two bullets.


    *BANG*


    *BANG*


    Somewhere in the ground.


    TwistedReversed, the person who had been carefully moving entire tournament saw a chance in victory.


    ''Daughter¡­ I will win!'' He swore in his mind, but then he heard a haunting sound, and he thought that it wasn''t aimed at him, but soon a sharp item pierced through his eye.


    King us looked at the notifications with a cold gaze.


    [yer TwistedReversed DEAD!]


    [yer Orn DEAD!]


    [Contenders: 2]


    ''''One more¡­ And finally, I have reached my goal.'''' He once again scanned the area with his Eye of Tracker and saw thest remaining person hiding behind a mountain.


    ''''You can''t hide from me¡­'''' King us aimed with his dark-cloaked gun, and once the figure was in his sight.


    He pressed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    [Wall Breaker Used!]


    The bullet flew like a missile, and at first, it looked like it was going to hit the mountain, and so it did.


    But¡­ The next part was fascinating.


    The bullet effortlessly pierced through the mountain wall and still kept going!


    Isaac, who was currently panting heavily, heard something approaching from the mountain!


    He widened his eyes in shock and quickly lied t on the ground.


    Second,ter, he felt something flying past his head.


    Isaac turned his head and was shocked to see a bullet flying away, which seemed toe from the mountain.


    He stood up and looked at the hole in the mountain wall.


    ''''It was Skill¡­ But, how did he know that I was here?'''' He frowned and looked at the number of Contenders left.


    Only two remained.


    *Ba-Thump!*


    *Ba-Thump!*


    His heart started beating rapidly as he knew that he was only one kill away from winning.


    He never thought he would reach this far, and once he did, he wanted to win!


    King us, who was still sitting on top of the tree, decided to go on the offensive.


    He jumped off the tree andnded softly on the ground.


    ''''Huff¡­'''' He breathed out and started running towards the mountain in the distance.


    His blue eyes again started glowing, and he saw that the figure still hadn''t moved!


    ''Amateur.'' King us thought and ran straight towards the mountain!


    He wasn''t slowing down, and it looked like he was going to crash, but then¡­


    [Wall Runner Used!]


    King us jumped, and once his feetnded on the mountain wall, he didn''t fall. Instead, it was like his feet got stuck in the mountain!


    He didn''t wait anymore and started running up the mountain wall!


    It took him only several seconds to reach the top of the mountain.


    Once his feetnded on the snow ground, he crouched and used all his agility stats to jump straight towards the sky!


    He didn''t reach the sky. However, he managed to jump twenty meters up in the air, which was an incredible achievement.


    King us looked down, and from the air, he managed to see the white-cloaked figure.


    ''''Hmph.'''' He scoffed and aimed his gun straight at the oblivious youth.


    *BANG!*


    He didn''t wait any longer as he fired his shot.


    His heart was beating rapidly as he knew that he was very close, only one kill away, and then finally, he had reached his goal.


    If he gets his hands on the Legacy, he will be the most powerful yer alive!


    Isaac, however, heard the gunshot, and he had already jumped away.


    The bulletnded only an inch away from his leg, and it wasn''t far away frompletely crippling him.


    Isaac raised his head and widened his eyes in shock as he saw a dark cloaked figure floating in the sky!


    At first it looked like he was floating, but he was slowly descending.


    But, the next thing shocked him even more.


    King us'' blue eyes started changing colors until they were bright red!


    [Heat Vision Used!]


    A beam of crimson light left his eyes, and it flew straight towards Isaac with even greater speed than ckNight managed to do!


    Isaac quickly jumped backwards and saw how the heat vision destroyed the nature to pieces.


    ''It was the same attack¡­ He has some kind of copying ability?!'' Isaac felt like facepalming, ''This is some bullshit¡­ Where is my broken ability?!''


    King usnded on top of the mountain and rubbed his eyes as an annoying, itching feeling appeared.


    While rubbing his eyes, he shouted, ''''Give up, I am much stronger, smarter, and skilled than you are!''''


    Isaac didn''t answer, instead hid behind a tree and had his musket rifle ready to be used.


    ''''I won''t be defeated by you, and no matter how much you struggle, I will win.'''' King us kept blinking his eyes, and soon the itching feeling disappeared, and he could concentrate again.


    Isaac took a deep breath and shouted back, ''''King us, right?!''''


    King us clicked his tongue, ''''Tsk, you must know my status then? Give up, and you will not be bothered in the future.''''


    ''''Sorry¡­ But, not happening!'''' Isaac left his hiding spot and fired!


    But¡­


    [Illusionary Shot Used!]


    King us quickly jumped out of the mountain, and when he was airborne, he saw Isaac squeezing the trigger again.


    ''''You can''t shoot that fast!'''' He shouted and frowned, ''Does he not know that you can''t fire rapidly? What a fool.''


    But soon, his eyes widened in shock.


    *BANG!*


    Another bullet left the musket rifle''s barrel, and it didn''t take long for it to arrive in front of King us.


    King us was shocked but managed to think calmly.


    Bright red eyes returned while a beam of crimson light left his eyes.


    The crimson light surrounded the bullet and turned it into ashes.


    ''''Useless, try!'''' He shouted and was about tond on the ground, but then he saw Isaac doing something strange.


    Isaac touched the snow, and a puff of cold air left his lungs, ''''Work¡­''''


    [Icy Shot Used!]


    The snow below him froze, and without any warnings, the ice started spreading all around him, but Isaac tried to control it and sessfully managed to do so!


    The ice rapidly started moving forwards, and King us noticed that the ice was rushing straight towards him!


    Once his feetnded on the ground, the ice had already arrived and froze his legs!


    Isaac quickly aimed his musket rifle but then saw something unbelievable.


    King us simply moved his legs, and the ice broke.


    ''''How?'''' Isaac lowered his weapon and couldn''t believe his eyes.


    King us grinned as his eyes started glowing in red, ''''Marksman Skills won''t work on me!''''


    ''''I have two skills. The first one nullifies every Marksman ability, and the second one is that I can copy any ability from a person I have killed in thest 24 hours!''''


    ''''I am¡­ Unbeatable!''''

 Chapter 219 - Human Vs. God of Winter

    Chapter 219 - Human Vs. God of Winter.


    On top of thergest mountain that was covered in a thickyer of snow.


    A man with a white ski mask was sitting, with snow surrounding him.


    His eyes that could be seen were looking in one very specific direction.


    In the distance, he could see a battle between two youths.


    His body didn''t even flinch as his emotionless eyes watched as the white-haired youth was suffering defeat with each collision.


    But soon, his emotionless eyes reacted as he felt somethinging.


    *RUMBLE!*


    The sky above the snow forest rumbled!


    The man turned his head and saw a snowkending on his shoulder.


    More and more snow started dropping down from the sky while a shadow was moving above the clouds.


    *THUD!*


    Suddenly, something fell from the sky andnded behind the man!


    The mountain trembled, which caused an avnche below the hill.


    The forest around the mountain was soon covered in snow, and the trees were blown to pieces.


    Behind the man, a tall, middle-aged man with a bushy beard and long blond hair appeared!


    He had a quiver strapped on his back and a bow in his right hand.


    ''''Oh, to what do I owe the pleasure, God of Winter, Ullr?'''' The man turned his head around and looked straight at the tall man.


    Ullr''s eyebrow twitched as he started talking with serious tone, ''''Human, I forgive your insolence this time.''''


    ''''Why have youe?'''' The man asked without showing even an inch of respect towards God.


    Ullr narrowed his eyes, ''''Hmph, I order you to end the tournament.''''


    ''''And, why would I do that?'''' The man turned his head back, ''''Finale has just began.''''


    ''''Give the Legacy for that weak Human who goes by the name of us, while I am taking the white-haired human with me.''''


    ''''Ah.'''' The man with the white ski mask shook his head and slowly stood up, ''''I am afraid that I can''t do that.''''


    ''''And why is that?'''' Ullr grabbed his bow tighter and became more annoyed with each passing moment.


    ''''Well, I am quite fond of him, but I have a question for you.'''' The man turned around, and he looked straight at Ullr''s eyes!


    ''''Stop looking at me.'''' Ullr took an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring.


    ''''Who gave you the courage to order me?'''' The man asked and took his weapon from the snow ground. His gun didn''t look like something that could kill a God.


    ''''Bend the knee, or you will regret your decision for the rest of your miserable life.'''' Ullr went into a shooting position, and his posture looked perfect.


    ''''Winter!'''' Ullr shouted, and suddenly, a snowstorm appeared around the mountain!


    Like a tornado, the snowstorm wreaked havoc, destroying the mountain bit by bit.


    Suddenly, the man smiled underneath the mask as he said confident words, ''''During winter¡­ I am unbeatable!''''


    ''''Hah, arrogant!'''' Ullr fired the arrow with a shout, ''''Humans are indeed foolish!''''


    Once the arrow left the bowstring, it started changing, and soon, it was pure white in color.


    Around the arrow, a small snow tornado appeared, which had enough power to destroy a City!


    The man with a white ski mask didn''t shoot his gun and didn''t even try, instead¡­


    He took a single step forwards.


    Such a simple motion did something unbelievable!


    *CRASH*


    *CRACK*


    The mountain below them cracked and broke apart!


    Both Ullr and the man started falling down while being surrounded by boulders and snow.


    ''''Hmph!'''' Ullr simply scoffed, not afraid even the slightest, and soon his body became transparent.


    He teleported on top of another mountain and watched as the mountain crumbled apart while it looked like the man got buried.


    ''''Hmph, suicide? How foolish.'''' Ullr let out augh, but then he felt something touching the back of his head.


    ''''Go back to the God Realm, or this will be thest time you are breathing.'''' Behind him, the man with the white mask was holding his gun, while the gun''s muzzle was touching Ullr''s head!


    ''''How dare you?!'''' Ullr shouted, ''''I am God, show some respect, Human!''''


    ''''You may be God, but you are far from being Godly.'''' The man put his finger on the cold trigger, and his voice oozed with coldness, ''''Now, are you going to leave, or do you want this to end with you on coffin?''''


    ''''Y-You wouldn''t dare!'''' Ullr shouted while showing fear for the first time during the confrontation, ''''My father would kill you!''''


    ''''Question is, can he kill me?'''' The man grabbed his mask and took it away!


    ''''Turn around and look at me.'''' Ullr shakily turned around and widened his eyes in shock as he saw the man''s face.


    The man touched his face and said, ''''This is the injury I received when I became arrogant at the little skill I had¡­ Since then, I have never gotten injure¡ª; not even Gods could injure me.''''


    Ullr gulped and said with a shaky tone, ''''M-My father is strongest¡­ M-Mere Human like you aren''t match to him!''''


    The man put the mask back on and then perked up his ears.


    *RUMBLE!*


    Another sound of rumble appeared in the sky, but this time, lightning followed!


    ''''Father!'''' Ullr eximed andughed, ''''Haha, he is here! Be prepared to die, Human!''''


    ''''No¡­'''' The man shook his head, ''''He isn''t here to fight me¡­ He is here to save his idiotic son.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Ullr raised an eyebrow, but then he saw his body turning into lightning.


    ''''Father¡­ No!'''' He screamed towards heaven, ''''Why are you teleporting me back?" His voice was shaking as he couldn''t understand the reason for it.


    *RUMBLE!*


    The sky rumbled one more time, and this time, Ullr turned into a lightning bolt and, with unwillingness, was Teleported away from the Human Realm.


    The man lowered his weapon and looked at the heaven, where the lightning was only moments ago, but it was soon gone.


    He sat down on the snow, and just like previously, he looked towards the battle, which was heating up.


    It was like he didn''t even care about the meeting with God.

 Chapter 220 - God Realm

    Chapter 220 - God Realm.


    Somewhere in the God Realm.


    There was a majestic golden pce, which could be seen even a hundred kilometers away.


    Even from outer space, the golden pce could be seen, and it was so tall that the top of the pce even left the atmosphere and entered the space!


    A rainbow bridge was in front of the golden pce, which was beautiful enough to mesmerize everyone.


    The golden ce itself was floating on top of a dark void.


    The dark void was shrouded in endless darkness.


    Around the dark void was a golden city with citizens that looked satisfied with their lives.


    Suddenly, the sky above the golden pce rumbled.


    The citizens instantly bowed in the direction of the golden pce, and soon lightning bolt struck the golden pce.


    The lightning was sucked inside the golden pce, and once it disappeared, the citizens stopped bowing and continued their lives.


    Currently, in the throne room of the golden pce.


    A muscr man with short blond hair and handsome face was sitting on a golden throne. He had a well-defined chin, with broad shoulders and sharp corbones.


    His eyes were flickering in lightning, and suddenly, golden robes appeared all around his body, and a hammer dropped down from the ceiling thatnded right on top of his palm.


    The throne room was surrounded by golden walls and pirs, while a chandelier that was made of white-colored diamonds was hanging on the ceiling.


    *RUMBLE!*


    A bolt of lightningnded in the center of the throne room.


    A tall man with a bushy beard and long blond hair appeared from the bolt of lightning.


    ''''Ah!'''' Ullr dropped down on his knees with a pale face while the lightning flickered around him.


    Once he had got hisposure back, he noticed where he was.


    He paled as he saw his father sitting on the golden throne, and instantly lowered his head.


    ''''Father!''''


    ''''You are a fool and utter disappointment.'''' Ullr''s face showed pain as he heard his father''s words.


    ''''I-I could have defeated that arrogant Human!'''' Ullr looked straight at his father with confidence.


    But then, his father, Thor, startedughing.


    Hisughter sounded like thunder.


    It echoed far away, the golden city could hear hisughter, and the civilians instantly thought that their King Thor was in a good mood because rarely he hadughed so hard.


    Hisughter reached every part of the heavens while thunder raged in the sky.


    Ullr''s face became red in humiliation, but he didn''t dare to argue back because he would be lucky enough not to get thrown away from the golden pce.


    ''''Hahaha¡­'''' Soon, Thor stoppedughing and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, ''''Son, you might be weak shit, but you sure know how to make a good joke!''''


    Ullr bit his lip and whispered, ''''He is only a Human¡­''''


    ''''Only a Human?'''' He paled as he heard his father''s voice.


    ''''You are lucky enough that you are still breathing.'''' Thor said and shook his head with disappointment, ''''You are lucky that man was in a good mood because he found the perfect host¡­ Otherwise, your mother would have to arrange your funeral.''''


    ''''Why are you defending that Human?!'''' Ullr stood up and shouted angrily.


    ''''Hold your tongue!'''' Thor''s scream sent Ullr flying.


    He crashed onto the golden pir and painfullynded on the ground with a few ribs broken.


    ''''Ugh!'''' He coughed a mouthful of blood and painfully stood up.


    ''''Fool.'''' Thor clicked his tongue and wondered how someone great as him could have such failure as a son.


    ''''Everyone has only one perfect host, and it is simply rude to try to steal a perfect host from someone, especially suicidal when you tried to steal one from that man!''''


    ''''B-But, father.'''' Ullr held his waist as he uttered his words with pain, ''''That power I felt¡­ From that young man¡­ It was simr to mine¡­ Power of Winter!''''


    ''''He isn''t your perfect host, so back off!''''


    Ullr gritted his teeth and lowered his head with his fists clenched.


    ''''Grr¡­'''' Thor snapped his head towards the direction of the throne room''s doors.


    ''''Enter!''''


    *Creak*


    The throne room''s doors opened, and Thor instantly felt annoyed when he saw who had entered.


    The one who entered had a skinny figure with messy hair and a silly grin on his face.


    ''''Loki, what do you want?'''' Thor asked while his grip on the hammer tightened.


    Loki innocently smiled and patted Ullr''s shoulder, ''''Hello, nephew.'''' He turned to look at Thor and grinned, ''''Hey, big meanie.''''


    ''''Did youe here to die?'''' Thor stood up from the throne, and instantly, lightning started flickering around the hammer.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Loki giggled, but then his face became more serious, ''''Did you hear?''''


    Thor clicked his tongue and dropped the hammer back on the ground, ''''I did.''''


    Ullr kept his head lowered and sneakily listened to their conversation.


    ''''Our Legacies has been spawned on the lower realms.'''' Loki stopped in front of Thor and continued, ''''It is only a matter of time before someone got them.''''


    Thor sat back on the throne and started tapping the armrest.


    ''''Should we tell Arthur to remove them?'''' Loki asked.


    ''''Why should we?'''' Thor asked nonchntly.


    ''''Our perfect hosts haven''t appeared yet.'''' Loki stopped in front of the throne, and yfulness was long gone from his face, ''''Your pride wouldn''t allow someone weak to wield your power, right?''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Thor waved his hand and smirked, ''''No matter who gets my Legacy, that person will be mighty!''''


    Loki rolled his eyes, ''''I am not sure why I even came here¡ª your pride is as big as this fucking building.''''


    ''''Thanks.'''' Thor took it as apliment and noticed that his son was still there, ''''Why are you still here? Go train to not be a failure.''''


    Ullr bowed and left the throne room with quick steps.


    ''''Heh, you sure are ruthless towards your sons.'''' Loki grinned, and suddenly a walking cane appeared in his hands, ''''I am waiting with anticipation of meeting your Legacy Carrier.''''


    Thor looked at his hammer and touched it tenderly, ''''Sigh¡­ I will miss my hammer, but my Legacy Carrier needs a weapon mighty enough to wield my power.''''

 Chapter 221 - Desperate Attempt Of A Weak

    Chapter 221 - Desperate Attempt Of A Weak.


    *BAM!*


    A white-haired figure crashed into the mountain.


    ''''Ah!'''' A grunt of pain escaped his mouth as he fell down on the snow ground.


    [-50 HP]


    [HP: 245/420]


    *SWOOSH*


    In the distance, a heat vision appeared!


    The heat vision was on fire, which melted the snow away and made the temperature rise.


    Isaac''s leg muscles twitched as he jumped out of the way in a hurry. Soon, hended on the ground and rolled several more meters before jumping up on his feet.


    [Wall Breaker!]


    King us used Wall Breaker and fused it with Heat Vision.


    Once, the heat vision struck the mountain. It fell entirely apart!


    The heat vision with ease destroyed the mountain into smithereens.


    Isaac turned around and aimed with his musket rifle; without further ado, he squeezed the trigger, and instantly, the recoil rocked his shoulder.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left like a rocket and flew straight towards the dark-cloaked figure.


    King us saw the iing bullet, and he didn''t do anything fancy; instead did a simple sidestep and watched as the bullet missed his body.


    Isaac grimaced and looked at the chamber that had no bullets left.


    [18¡­]


    Cooldown started.


    *BAM!*


    An explosion appeared, which sent snow flying away.


    The explosion was the result of King us jumping.


    King us flew across the air andnded right in front of Isaac, who was still holding his musket rifle.


    ''''Die!'''' King us shouted and stabbed his musket rifle forwards, cloaked in dark clothing, but the tip of the de could be seen.


    The de was blocked by the sudden interference of Isaac''s musket rifle.


    ''''Grr!'''' Isaac''s feet were soon buried inside the snow ground, and his arms started trembling as he was desperately trying to block King us'' powerful strike.


    ''''Useless!'''' King us mmed his foot deep inside Isaac''s torso, which alone looked very damaging!


    A mouthful of saliva left Isaac''s mouth as he stumbled backwards several steps.


    He had an impulsive desire to kneel down, but his pride wouldn''t allow him to do so.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and straightened his back while the organs inside his body were disorganized.


    ''''You are¡­ Weak!'''' King us grinned mockingly, ''''You are a fool for ignoring the importance of Strength Stat, because of that¡­ You can never defeat me.''''


    He, once again, stabbed his musket rifle forwards.


    Isaac barely deflected it, but King us wasn''t done and unleashed a rain of stabs.


    Isaac was instantly pushed backwards, but he managed to keep deflecting.


    King us'' hands became blurry as the speed of his stabs increased by a dozen fold.


    ''''Aarhhhgggg!'''' Isaac screamed and kept deflecting as fast as he could, but bit by bit, he was being pushed backwards.


    His feet kept sliding backwards while the strength of King us'' strikes kept increasing.


    But then¡­ A moment when Isaac reached his limits appeared.


    King us noticed Isaac''s movement bing sloppy, and he used that to his advantage.


    *SWING*


    He swung the musket rifle one more time and sliced Isaac''s ear off!


    *SPURT!*


    A rain of blue blood appeared as Isaac''s ear flew off andnded on the snowy ground, which was soon covered in snow.


    [-75 HP]


    [HP: 170/420]


    King us smirked and revealed his own HP bar to mock Isaac further.


    [HP: 460/460]


    ''''Why can''t you understand the gap between us?'''' He shook his head and spat on the ground, ''''You are weak, while I am strong. We live inpletely different worlds.''''


    ''''Shut up!'''' Isaac screamed and swung the musket rifle, which King us effortlessly blocked.


    *BAM!*


    King us kneed his body, and this time, Isaac fell down on his knees with saliva pouring down from his mouth.


    King us looked at Isaac''s weapon and threw it away.


    ''''Anyst words?'''' He asked while touching Isaac''s forehead with the musket rifle''s muzzle.


    Isaac''s tired eyes looked straight towards King us and saw his mocking look; he enjoyed seeing the weak kneeling before him.


    ''''I am hungry¡­'''' Isaac suddenly muttered and opened his mouth wide open.


    Something unbelievable happened.


    No one in their right mind would do it, but Isaac did.


    He put the musket rifle inside his mouth, the muzzle touching his throat.


    King us frowned, ''''What the hell?''''


    Isaac closed his eyes, and King us didn''t notice it, but a slight puff of cold air left his mouth.


    ''''Fine, die.'''' King us thought that Isaac surrendered and told him to kill him.


    *BANG!*


    He squeezed the trigger and expected Isaac''s head to explode, but something strange happened.


    *CRACK*


    The musket rifle cracked in half!


    *BAM!*


    The musket rifle exploded into hundreds of small pieces.


    ''''Ah!'''' Isaac was hit by the aftermath and was struck by broken pieces of the musket rifle, and his HP decreased by a terrifying amount.


    [-150 HP]


    [HP: 20/420]


    ''''No!'''' King us screamed and looked at his broken weapon, ''''It was a Unique Musket Rifle!''''


    Isaac wiped the bloodstains from his face and grinned with bloodied teeth, ''''Oopsie.''''


    King us screamed with anger, ''''BASTARD!'''' He wanted to rush toward Isaac and beat him up till he begged for mercy.


    But then, he noticed something strange in his musket rifle''s barrel.


    He crouched and saw the barrel beingpletely covered in ice!


    He looked shocked and turned towards Isaac, ''''You used your skill to freeze the barrel¡­ How did you know it would work?''''


    ''''I didn''t¡­'''' Isaac stood up and spat out the remaining blood from his mouth, ''''It was thest desperate attempt of a weak¡­''''


    King us grimaced and angrily stood up, ''''I will make you regret that!'''' He lunged forwards and unleashed a punch.


    Isaac lowered his body and tackled him!


    King us fell down to the ground with Isaac on top of him.


    ''''Get off me!'''' He screamed and tried to punch Isaac, but soon something solid struck his face.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac started punching King us'' face mercilessly.


    His arms became blurry as he punched, reeled in his fist, and again punched!


    King us was desperately trying to block, but nothing worked as Isaac''s inhumanly quick punches kept hitting him.


    Soon, blood started flowing down from the mouth and nose while King us'' mask was breaking apart!

 Chapter 222 - Isaac’s Perfect Shot

    Chapter 222 - Isaac''s Perfect Shot.


    ''''Enough!'''' King us'' eyes, underneath the mask, glowed in red, and another heat vision was about to be unleashed.


    But then, Isaac grabbed his face and turned it to the side.


    *SWOOSH*


    The heat vision was unleashed, but it hit nothing except dozen trees in the distance.


    *BAM!*


    Once the heat vision ended, Isaac once again punched at the mask, and this time King us'' nose broke!


    ''''Agghh!'''' King us felt a slight pain in getting his nose broken and wasn''t prepared for it.


    He hasn''t felt any pain in a long time, but because everyone can feel 1% of the pain during the tournament, he felt pain for the first time in a long time!


    ''''ENOUGH!'''' King us grabbed Isaac''s arms and threw him away!


    Isaac rolled on the ground several meters and anxiously stood up. He felt frustrated at the obvious strength difference, and he was getting desperate to increase his strength, but nothing worked!


    King us stood up with cracks on his mask; he cracked his neck and was about to go after Isaac, but then saw a musket rifle lying on the snow ground.


    It was Isaac''s musket rifle.


    He grinned and rushed towards the musket rifle, but suddenly Isaac appeared and once again tackled him!


    ''''Tsk!'''' King us kneed Isaac''s torso and felt the strength of his tackle reducing.


    He grabbed Isaac from his jacket and threw him away.


    *Bam*


    Isaac crashed to the ground and rolled on the ground with a notification popping up in front of him.


    [-15 HP]


    [HP: 5/420]


    King us grabbed the musket rifle and shouted, ''''It''s over, I have won!''''


    ''''Ptui!'''' Isaac spat out the broken teeth and grabbed something from his jacket.


    It was the Flintlock Pistol!


    He aimed it towards King us, who was aiming at him.


    ''''Flintlock Pistol can''t kill me.'''' King us said coldly and put his finger on the trigger.


    Isaac''s eyes looked fatigued, with a trail of blood trailing down from the side of his face.


    Feeling the coldness and toughness of the Flintlock Pistol on his hand, he hoped that he could kill him, but he needed to be realistic.


    His body trembled as he knew that the chances of survival were very minimal, maybe even impossible.


    King us knew it.


    Isaac knew it.


    He would need a miracle to win, and with only two of them in the snow forest, there was no ce for miracles.


    ''''I admit, you fought well, but the oue was obvious from the beginning!'''' King us'' fingertip touched the cold steel, ''''You dyed the inevitable!''''


    Isaac''s hand trembled, and the mental exhaustion was kicking in. He would want to go sleep on his warm bed and rest until all the exhaustion has been disappeared.


    ''''You can proudly say in the forums that you managed to reach the finale, but in the end was destroyed by the yer, who in the future will be called as Strongest.'''' King us proudly dered.


    ''''It is an honor; your name will be remembered as the person who was too weak to stop King us from bing the strongest.''''


    Isaac gritted his teeth and thought with anxiousness, ''What can I do¡­ Will I lose? Why is he stronger?''


    ''Is he stronger because higher level, or is he simply more skilled than I am¡­ Or is it because of his overpowered skill?''


    ''Maybe because all of them¡­'' Slowly, he lowered his arm, and King us took that as a sign of surrender.


    ''''Good choice.'''' He grinned and was about to press the trigger.


    But then, Isaac remembered something.


    ''Sniper''s greatest strength isn''t the bullet¡­ What did he mean by that?'' Once that thought crossed his mind,


    His gray pupils dted.


    *CRACK*


    Something inside his mind cracked.


    Inside his brain and in the heart, transparent chains were seen.


    They were slightly loosened, and nothing has changed on them, but now¡­ Something spectacr happened!


    A very miniature crack appeared on the chain''s surface.


    But, that simple crack allowed the bright light to escape.


    Soon, the cracks disappeared as the chains fixed themselves, but that alone allowed a little bit of the bright light to escape!


    The bright light fused with Isaac''s cells and bones, while the kaleidoscopic light fused inside his brain.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' A puff of cold air left his mouth, and Isaac noticed something strange.


    He saw how the snow was melting away bit by bit.


    He saw King us'' nails having a tinge of ck, resulting in misfiring his gun several times.


    Also¡­ Inside the musket rifle''s barrel, he could see the bullet.


    His eyes widened in shock, and his arm, which was lowering, stopped.


    King us'' slowly blinked, and his finger was starting to squeeze the trigger, but everything was happening in slow motion.


    Isaac raised his arm and aimed the Flintlock Pistol straight towards the musket rifle.


    Without letting King us make the first move, he pressed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel and started flying straight towards the musket rifle.


    King us had the first signs of panic, and his finger slowly squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    Once he managed to squeeze the trigger, the Flintlock Pistol''s bullet was already in front of the musket rifle.


    King us'' face showed panic, and he tried to move out of the way but would never make it in time.


    The Flintlock Pistol''s bullet flew perfectly.


    The snowkes that appeared on the way were blown to pieces.


    While the musket rifle''s bullet still hasn''t left the barrel.


    Soon, the Flintlock Pistol''s bullet arrived in front of the musket rifle.


    Instantly, King us realized that the bullet wasn''t aimed at him!


    The Flintlock Pistol''s bullet perfectly flew inside the musket rifle''s barrel, and soon, the two bullets inside the barrel collided.


    *BAM!*


    *CRACK*


    The musket rifle cracked in half, and exploded into pieces!


    King us was hit by the aftermath and was sent flying backwards, while Isaac''s musket riflended on the ground in thousands of tiny pieces.


    Isaac lowered his arm and looked at his broken gun with emotion, ''''I am sorry¡­'''' His pained eyes became enraged as he saw King us lying on the ground.

 Chapter 223 - Mythical Legacy

    Chapter 223 - Mythical Legacy.


    ''''Ugh!'''' King us rolled on the ground in agony while holding his face.


    His mask that was covering his face only moments ago was broken into pieces next to him!


    His face was bloodied with broken pieces of musket rifle stuck on his skin.


    ''''Aaarghhh!'''' He screamed and looked at his HP, first time in his life, he felt genuine fear and panic.


    [HP: 1/460]


    ''''N-No¡­'''' His face became even paler as he heard footsteps behind him.


    He turned around and saw Isaac walking with cold eyes.


    ''''P-Please¡­ Mercy!'''' King us kowtowed on the ground with his forehead touching the snow ground, ''''I-I will do anything¡­ My family is very wealthy¡ª I can give you everything you want!''''


    ''''You want money? No problem. Do you want women? Easy, I can give you literally everything.''''


    Isaac touched the corner of his lips, which were still bleeding. Also, when he was listening to King us'' ramblings, he noticed that he couldn''t hear anything with his left ear because it was sliced off.


    He was currently half-deaf, and the ringing noise was making him go crazy.


    After not hearing anything from the white-haired youth, King us gulped, ''''D-Did you hear me?''''


    ''''Shut up,'''' Isaac said and squeezed the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    King us'' head exploded into a bloody mist.


    [You Killed yer King us!]


    [3000 XP Earned!]


    [LEVEL UP!]


    [Level 37 -> Level 38]


    Isaac dropped his Flintlock Pistol next to King us'' corpse.


    He turned around and, with heavy steps, walked away.


    As far as his eyes let him see, there was destruction.


    Destroyed forest with mountains crumbled apart.


    It was like a battle of titans that happened only a second away.


    Isaac staggered back and forth, barely able to keep standing.


    He soon found a wooden log and sat down with an exhausted look.


    *DING* *DING*


    [yer King us DEAD!]


    [Contenders: 1]


    [Legacy Tournament Has Ended!]


    [Congrattions, yer Wraith]


    ''''Winner¡­'''' Isaac muttered and looked straight towards the sky, which was bing brighter.


    *Crunch*


    Behind him, footsteps appeared.


    He didn''t turn his head because he knew who it was.


    The man with a white ski mask sat down on the wooden log.


    Both of them looked at the destruction around them with simr looks.


    Neither of them spoke a single word.


    The silencested for over ten minutes.


    ''''Congrattions.'''' Until finally, the man with a white ski mask opened his mouth.


    ''''Thanks¡­'''' Isaac said with a tired tone.


    ''''Tired?'''' He asked and saw Isaac nodding with an exasperated look, ''''You should be proud¡ª you did something that seemed impossible.''''


    ''''Oh¡­ What''s that?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Well, us is something you could call a Cheater.''''


    ''''Cheater?'''' Isaac frowned, and the first thought that appeared on his mind was hacking, ''''What do you mean?''''


    ''''King us was one of the privileged ones.'''' He sighed and continued, ''''I don''t like how Arthur allowed some of the members from richer families to enter the world ahead of everyone else.''''


    ''''Why?'''' Isaac frowned, ''''How does that make him a cheater?''''


    ''''During his Beta Testing days, he found something that was identally added in the game, and because he found it, it was toote to stop because only way to stop us from using the knowledge would be to forbid him from ying, which isn''t possible.''''


    Isaac nodded and asked, ''''What did he find?''''


    ''''The secret knowledge about Marksman.'''' The man said suddenly and stepped on the snow.


    A footprint appeared on the snow ground.


    Isaac looked at the footprint, and it resembled of a map!


    ''''He found a map, and that allowed him to know the best starting stats for Marksman and how to receive two of one of the strongest skills.''''


    ''''Oh¡­'''' Isaac never understood how someone could get two very overpowered skills, but now he did.


    But, he still had a question, ''''Why did you allow him to join the tournament if he was a cheater in your opinion?''''


    ''''I didn''t¡ª he found some kind of artifact that gave him one of the spots as Legacy Contender.''''


    ''''Lucky¡­'''' Isaac was impressed by how lucky one person can be.


    ''''Yeah, but I am d that he lost.'''' The man patted his shoulder and finally asked a question that had been haunting his mind, ''''Do you want to be my Legacy Carrier?''''


    Isaac looked at his eyes and saw the hope in them.


    He took a deep breath and smiled, ''''Yes.''''


    The man smiled underneath the mask and snapped his fingers.


    *Snap*


    *DING* *DING*

    [ept/Reject]


    ''''So¡­ This is your name, huh.'''' Isaac smiled and looked at him.


    Simo took off his mask and revealed his disfigured face first time to Isaac.


    Isaac widened his eyes and saw the jaw beingpletely disfigured, looking somewhat monstrous.


    Simo touched his jaw and smirked, ''''Explosive bullet¡­''''


    ''''How did you receive it?'''' Isaac asked with curiosity, his eyes still lingering on the disfigured part.


    ''''It was during a war¡­'''' He shook his head, not wanting to talk about it, ''''It was duringter phases of the war, and someone was lucky enough to hit me with an explosive bullet.''''


    Simo then grinned and looked at Isaac, ''''Make a promise to me.''''


    ''''What is it?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Don''t use explosive bullets; they are for cowards,'''' Simo said with a chuckle and stood up.


    ''''ept or reject, it is time to make your choice.''''


    Isaac turned his head towards the holographic screen in front of him, and his eyes lingered on the [ept/Reject]


    He had already made up his mind.


    His finger touched [ept]

 Chapter 224 - White Death

    Chapter 224 - White Death.


    *RUMBLE*


    In the sky, thunder rumbled.


    The sound of thunder echoed far away, all the way to World of Four Seasons.


    Once again, citizens of every age turned their gazes towards the sky, where the sound of mighty thunder was heard, but no sign of lightning.


    Back in the White Online.


    Simo grabbed his gun from his back and touched it tenderly, ''''You are now my Legacy Carrier.''''


    Isaac stood up and saw himself being a head taller than Simo, which was one of the first times he was actually taller than someone around him.


    His focus wasn''t on that, but on the new skill he received.


    [White Death: During this state, The yer will be immune to Death]


    ''''What is this state?'''' He asked from Simo, who turned his gaze away from his gun.


    ''''In that state, you will be hyper-focused in literally everything, and you managed to enter that state during your match against us.''''


    ''''How did I manage to do that?'''' Isaac asked and remembered the weird sensation he had and the impossible shot he did.


    ''''Only the person who could understand the meaning of my words can enter that state, but even then, it is very difficult.'''' Simo grabbed a handful of the snow and moved it around his palm.


    ''''You only understood a fraction of my words, but even then, you managed to enter that state.''''


    ''''Then, what else could it be other than eyesight?'''' Isaac questioned.


    ''''That is your job to find out.'''' Simo clenched his fist, and once he opened it again, the snow had disappeared.


    ''''That state is dangerous, it will reduce your stamina with scary speed, and if you don''t know how to stop the state, you will die.''''


    ''''Wasn''t I immune to death during that state?'''' Isaac asked; even though he got answers, more questions haunted his mind.


    ''''That state won''tst forever.'''' Simo turned his head and looked him straight in the eye, ''''You might be thrown away from that state if you are getting too much of a beating, or you simply lose concentration.''''


    Isaac became serious and understood that it was far from a reliable skill.


    ''''Look at your Stats¡ª you might notice something different,'''' Simo told him.


    Isaac then finally saw the Stats and was shocked, ''''100 extra on Vitality and 50 extra on Precision?!''''


    Simo nodded, ''''That is one of the reasons why Legacies are so important. You basically received enough stat points for the next 15 levels.''''


    Isaac nodded but then asked, ''''Does Godly Legacy give more?''''


    ''''Are you having second thoughts?'''' Simo asked and looked closely at his facial expressions.


    Isaac chuckled and shook his head, ''''No, I just want to know more about Godly Legacies. One day I might have to fight against one of them.''''


    ''''Yes¡­'''' Simo understood that the humanity isn''t united yet, ''''Godly Legacies will give more than mine, but some are simply overpowered.''''


    Isaac''s face became serious, and he nodded with understanding, ''''I won''t disappoint you.''''


    Simo waved his hand, ''''I have faith in you, but you also have a long way ahead. You might need years before you can fully understand the true extent of your powers.''''


    Isaac and quickly assigned his twenty stat points.


    [AGI: 80 -> 100]


    [SP: 20 -> 0]


    Isaac waited for several more seconds and then felt slightly disappointed that he didn''t receive another skill from getting to 100 as he got with Precision.


    ''''I think it''s time for you to leave this ce¡­'''' Simo looked around, and before Isaac could say anything, he continued, ''''But, before that¡­''''


    Isaac saw him stretching out his hand, which was carrying his gun.


    ''''Take this,'''' Simo said while tenderly looking at his gun, which had been with him for a very long time.


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac eximed and looked at the gun in front of him, which was emitting some mysterious power, ''''What about you?''''


    ''''My Legacy Carrier needs a weapon powerful enough to carry the power. Without this gun, you will never be able to touch the true limit of my powers.'''' Simo said and forced the gun on him.


    Isaac took the gun and instantly felt a connection with the gun.


    Like the gun was the third limb he never had.


    A notification popped up in front of him.


    [The Mosin-Nagant M/28-30 Acquired!]


    [The Mosin-Nagant M/28-30 (Mythical): Reload 5 Seconds - 10 Shot Ammo Capacity]


    ''''Wait¡­ It doesn''t need bullets?'''' Isaac, at first, was utterly shocked at the info, but then he noticed something strange.


    Simo chuckled and shook his head, ''''Mythical Weapons don''t need bullets.''''


    ''''Then¡­ How does it work?'''' Isaac looked confused.


    ''''Try it.'''' Simo stepped to the side and crossed his arms.


    Isaac aimed his newly acquired gun towards a nearby tree.


    His fingertip touched the cold steel and felt power surging through him.


    It was like he was holding a weapon of mass destruction in his hands.


    ''''Fire!'''' Simo instructed.


    Isaac pulled the trigger, and the next thing was something he had never felt before.


    *BANG!*


    His consciousness was separated from his body and was connected with the bullet.


    He felt the rush and adrenaline of the bullet.


    Soon, his consciousness returned, and he saw the tree in the distance, which the bullet struck, exploding.


    ''''Arghh¡­'''' Isaac staggered backwards and looked at his shoulder that was dislocated!


    ''''You alright?'''' Simo asked and grabbed his dislocated shoulder.


    ''''Y-Yes,'''' Isaac replied while biting his lip.


    *CRACK!*


    Simo twisted the shoulder, and the bones returned to their previous locations.


    Isaac carefully moved his shoulder and took a deep breath, ''How can I use the weapon if my shoulder gets dislocated every time I use it¡­''


    ''''You don''t have to worry about dislocating your shoulder.'''' Simo suddenly said and saw Isaac''s confused face, ''''The gun was testing you.''''


    ''''Did I pass?'''' Isaac asked and felt the weapon in his arms vibrating.


    ''''You did.'''' Simo smiled and raised his head towards the sky, where thunder was raging.


    ''''It''s time for you to go.'''' He put his hand forwards and said, ''''Good luck, Son of Winter.''''


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac shook his head and saw Simo disappearing into thousands of snowkes.


    ''''Cool¡­'''' He opened the Interface and pressed [Log Out]


    His long day in the White Online hade to an end.

 Chapter 225 - Wraith’s Fame

    Chapter 225 - Wraith''s Fame.


    In a room that was lit up with a chandelier.


    A yellowish hue colored the room in soothing and warm colors.


    Outside the window, snowkes were dropping down andnding softly on the snowy ground, while men and women of every age walked in the streets of the neighborhoods with happy faces.


    Suddenly, the white-haired youth in therge andfy bed twitched.


    ''''Ahhh!'''' Isaac slowly opened his eyes and instantly felt like something was wrong with his body.


    ''''Argh!'''' He grabbed his stomach and rolled in the bed in agony, ''''What the hell¡­ It feels like I have eaten till my belly waspletely full!''''


    He grabbed his headgear and took it away.


    The skinsuit that was covering his body got sucked inside the headgear.


    Isaac rubbed his painful stomach and grimaced, ''''Argh¡­ What the hell¡­ It feels like I have eaten ten cows!''''


    After ten minutes of rolling in the bed in agony.


    The pain started easing up.


    Isaac finally managed to stand up, and he quickly grabbed the headgear, stuffed it inside the ck box, and hid it inside the wardrobe.


    ''''I wonder what the time is¡­'''' He walked all the way to his desk and grabbed his phone that was on the charger.


    Once he opened the phone, he was surprised that the time was only 3 P.M, but when he saw the date, he was shocked.


    ''''What?!'''' He screamed and went to the calendar, and it showed the exact same date!


    ''''I have been in the game for 4 hours?'''' Isaac scratched his head and felt like it was unreal.


    He felt relieved and understood why his stomach was aching so much.


    He ate so much during 4 hours; it wouldn''t be surprising if his stomach exploded!


    ''''They have to fix that¡­.'''' Isaac stuffed his phone back into his pocket and grabbed hisptop from the desk before returning to hisfy bed.


    ''''Ahh¡­'''' A moan of satisfaction left his mouth as he felt like he was lying on top of marshmallows.


    After sleeping on hard ground for several days, the rare sense of satisfaction struck him.


    No more back pain.


    Isaac used theptop''s mouse and double-clicked on the Inte browser.


    The first thing he went to check out was the forums.


    He didn''t expect to see anything interesting, but soon his eyes almost popped out of the sockets.


    On top of the forum page, he saw a post with a [Hot] tag.


    [Wraith''s Stream Clip!]


    *Click*


    *Click*


    He instantly double-clicked and entered the post.


    He saw a row of texts and a video clip.


    Isaac started reading the text slowly, and once the person who made the post asked if Marksman''s ss was really weak, he understood the seriousness of his actions.


    Maybe because of him, Marksman ss''s reputation will have significant change, and some might buy a new VR Helmet to test it.


    Isaac scrolled down and started reading thements.


    Most of thements asked who the white-haired youth in the clip was.


    Hundreds of replies were below thosements; some even sent Isaac''s stream link in thement section.


    *Tap* *Tap*


    Isaac started writing StreamKing''s website and quickly pressed enter.


    The familiar sight of the StreamKing website became visible.


    He went to his ount page and looked at his follower count.


    His eyes widened in shock after seeing way too many numbers.


    Before the forum post, he was sitting around 100 followers; now, it was over 5000!


    First time in his life, he felt somewhat fearful of the fame he was receiving.


    He started ying alone and never wanted to enter the spotlight, but now, no matter what he does, he will be recognized as one of the greatest Marksmen yers.


    Isaac left his ount page, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw Underlord''s stream bustling as always.


    He wanted to calm his nervous heartbeat and decided to join the stream and enjoy it for several hours before going to spend time with his family.


    *Click*


    Underlord''s stream came visible on the screen, and Isaac, out of instinct, looked towards the chat, but the things they were talking about shocked him.


    They were talking about him.


    [*****: Tyrant, when will Wraith stream? I have waited for the whole day]


    [*****: That''s right. It felt like an eternity waiting, and in the end, he didn''t even stream!]


    [Tyrant: I don''t know, he must have been busy today]


    [*****: Is he going to stream tomorrow?]


    While watching the chat, he didn''t notice Underlord''s face in the stream.


    Underlord was walking in the busy streets and looked at his chat with annoyance.


    ''Wraith¡­ Wraith¡­ Wraith¡­ You guys have been talking about him for the entire stream! This is my stream, so why are you focused on someone else?!'' He clicked his tongue and felt annoyed like never before.


    He felt like closing his stream and releasing his anger somewhere else, but he was getting good subscriptions today, and it would be a waste to end it so soon.


    ''Rx¡­ Wraith can have his one day of fame, but in the end, he will be buried in the sea of hopelessness after noticing that he can''t defeat top streamers like me!''


    Isaac closed the Intepletely after not sessfully managing to calm his nerves. Instead, it became even more chaotic.


    He closed theptop and put it away.


    Isaac stood up from the bed and stopped in front of the frosty window.


    Ayer of snow was covering most of the window, but he could still see all the way to the city in the distance.


    It was filled with bright lights while cars moved back and forth between streets.


    Happy families with warm winter clothing were walking in the streets.


    Some of them carried boxes containing VR Helmets, and some had gift packs.


    Isaac rubbed his eyes and wondered aloud, ''''Since when did I have such good eyesight?'''' He had always had good eyesight, but never has he been able to see clearly the people from over a kilometer away!


    ''''Weird¡­'''' He shook his head and closed the curtains.

 Chapter 226 - Breaking News

    Chapter 226 - Breaking News.


    Isaac entered the living room, where Maxwell, Isabe, and Mark were gathered around the sofa.


    Maxwell and Isabe were sitting on the sofa coated in soft animal fur.


    Mark was sitting alone on another sofa that was in the color of brown but was soft enough to almost bury Mark inside.


    Isaac sat next to Mark and ruffled his soft ck hair.


    Mark closed his eyes with satisfaction, and once the soft hand disappeared from his head, he continued ying with his phone.


    ''''Honey, isn''t it time for Mark to go bathing?'''' Maxwell asked after seeing Isaac arriving.


    Isabe nced at the clock and saw the time crossing the 7 P.M mark.


    ''''Ah right.'''' She stood up and pped her hands which attracted Mark''s attention.


    ''''Bath time!''''


    ''''Ah,me.'''' Mark stuffed the phone into his pocket, and before he left for a bath, he looked at his big brother and asked, ''''What did you do in White Online?''''


    Isaac saw his little brother''s sparkling eyes while Maxwell and Isabe kept shaking their heads, hoping that Isaac doesn''t talk about the game, so Mark won''t feel more impatient to y it.


    ''''Well¡­'''' Isaac scratched his head and said, ''''I fought a guy who can st fire beams from his eyes.'''' He made a circle with his index finger and thumb and covered his eye with it.


    Mark eximed in surprise and kept hopping in one ce while hoping that Isaac would continue telling the tale.


    ''''First, his eyes glowed in bright red. It was like the light of an ancient predator that was hiding in the darkness.'''' After seeing Mark''s excitement, Isaac smiled, ''''And, once the predator attacked its prey, death followed.''''


    ''''Was it powerful?!'''' Mark asked in a hurry.


    ''''Mark, it''s time to bath.'''' Isabe arrived next to Mark and grabbed his frail arm, but Mark didn''t want to move.


    ''''Yes¡­ Very powerful.'''' Isaac nodded and showed an image of an explosion with his hands, ''''With one st of the heat vision, trees were blown to pieces and mountains crumbled.''''


    ''''Waaah!'''' Mark shouted with excitement and was soon dragged away by Isabe.


    Maxwell watched as Isabe and Mark left; once they started walking up the stairs, he turned his head back towards Isaac.


    ''''Have you¡­ Checked the forums yet?'''' Maxwell asked.


    Isaac bit his lip and nodded, ''''I have¡­''''


    Maxwell nodded and didn''t pry any further into the topic.


    The TV Screen suddenly changed, and words Breaking News popped out on the screen.


    Maxwell crossed his legs and looked at the TV with a concentrated expression.


    On the TV.


    A middle-aged man was sitting alone in front of a curved table.


    He had a professional attire with a gentle smile as he started telling the news, but it wasn''t ordinary news; instead, Breaking News!


    On top of the screen, the words Breaking News were coated in reddish colors.


    ''''Today''s Breaking News will be about White Online!'''' The middle-aged man said and shuffled the papers in his hands until the right paper was on top, ''''Only ten minutes ago, we heard News about the new White Online Update arriving on Friday!''''


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac eximed, and Maxwell was as well shocked.


    ''So, what Darth was saying was truth¡­'' He leaned on the sofa''s soft backrest and started thinking about what could happen.


    Maxwell leaned closer to the TV and listened closely with perked ears.


    ''''Arthur hasn''t made an Official Announcement yet, but it mighte tomorrow, so be prepared, folks, something big is happening.''''


    After those words, the Breaking News ended, leaving citizens and yers of White Online excited.


    ''''Excuse me, I have to go make a few calls.'''' Maxwell stood up and tightened his cor before leaving the living room and rushing towards his office.


    Isaac also stood up and slowly started walking towards the stairway, but before that, he saw something strange outside of the mansion.


    He went to the window to peek outside and was sure that he didn''t see it wrong.


    Next to the door was a hangers, where all sorts of winter jackets were hanging.


    Isaac put his shoes on and grabbed his coat. With swift movements, he put it on and pulled the zipper all the way to his neck.


    Once he was dressed, he opened the front door and left the mansion.


    A cold winter air flew past Whitelock''s Residence, sending snowkes flying around.


    Isaac had to cover his eyes but slowly managed to keep moving forwards.


    Next to the metal gates was arge snow pile, which was piled up after servants left to their homes, and there was no one to take care of them.


    Bodyguards were making their yard tour to check that everything was alright.


    After seeing Isaac, they were surprised but didn''t ask questions from their young master and continued their work.


    Isaac stopped in front of the snow pile, and in there, he saw an owl.


    A sharp hooked bead was peeking through the snow pile while the owl''s round eyes looked straight at Isaac.


    ''''It''s Snowy Owl¡­'''' Isaac touched the Owl''s feathers, and it didn''t look scared, instead allowed him to keep touching.


    ''''Isaac?'''' He heard his mother''s voiceing inside the mansion.


    The Owl also turned itsrge head towards the door, and Isaac saw how abnormally the head moved.


    ''''Owls are fascinating¡­'''' After taking onest look at the owl, he started walking away, leaving the Owl alone.


    But, even after he left, the Owl kept looking at him with a mysterious look.


    After entering the mansion.


    Isaac spoke with his mother, and after that, he returned to his warm room.


    He quickly packed everything he needed for his trip.


    Clothes,ptop, phone, charger¡­


    Isaac saw his Flintlock Pistol but didn''t take it with him. Instead, he went to the wardrobe and looked at the ck box for several minutes.


    ''''Yeah¡­ I can''t stop ying.'''' He grabbed the ck box and tried to put it inside the bag.


    At first, it was a tight fit, but he managed to do so in the end, and his packing waspleted.

 Chapter 227 - Leaving Snowstar

    Chapter 227 - Leaving Snowstar.


    Next Morning.


    Isaac was already awake in his dimly lit room, while the sun was only about to arrive on top of the sky.


    The outside was already bright enough to treat it as the morning, and the only reason his room was not that bright was because of the curtains.


    Isaac looked at the two bags in front of him and went through his items several times so that he won''t forget anything.


    He checked at least five times that the VR Helmet was with him.


    It would be a tragedy if he forgot it, but even after making sure five times, he still wanted to make sure one more time.


    Isaac took his phone from his pocket and opened it. Instantly the bright light covered his face, making his skin look slightly bluish.


    He checked the time and nodded after seeing that it was time to go.


    He put the phone back in his pocket and grabbed his bags before leaving the room.


    After taking the first step outside his room, he turned around and looked at it for several seconds before using his leg to close the door.


    *Bam*


    In front of Isaac, the nametag which showed his name showed up.


    It was carved nicely, each letter looking very fancy and beautiful.


    ''''See you¡­'''' Isaac murmured and, with no hesitation, walked away.


    He descended all the way to the bottom floor, where his family was already waiting for him.


    After taking his first steps on the first floor, his head was instantly surrounded by tworge objects.


    Isabe grabbed his body and hugged him tightly while whispering words of farewell, ''''Take care, and I am sorry that you aren''t allowed to go to the festival even though you want to.''''


    ''''It''s fine¡­'''' Isaac whispered and soon managed to escape the hug while thinking, ''I am definitely going there¡­''


    Next in the turn was Mark who hugged his torso, ''''Take care!''''


    Isaac ruffled his little brother''s hair and soon came face-to-face with Marvin, who he did a simple fist bump with.


    Next, he shared a hug with Alice, who wasn''t feeling that pleasant after knowing that Isaac was leaving, but seeing his excited look, she didn''t want to make him feel bad and whispered in his ear.


    ''''Did you remember the school work?'''' Her whisper was heard clearly by Isaac.


    ''''I took them with me¡­'''' Isaac whispered back and forgot to do most of the school work because he was too busy ying, but he decided to finish them during his visit to Brightstar.


    Alice smiled and nodded, ''''Good luck, brother.''''


    Isaac ruffled her hair and saw Sophia standing next to Maxwell, who did a simple nod, which he returned.


    ''''It''s time to go.'''' Maxwell said and grabbed one of Isaac''s bags, ''''I will take you there.''''


    ''''Thanks¡­'''' Isaac and Maxwell walked to the front door, but before leaving, Isaac nced at his family and did a simple thumbs-up, signaling that their worries were unnecessary.


    Isabe wiped her tears after feeling emotional. It was like she was biding farewells to her son, who entered adulthood and was about to marry some girl.


    Marvin kept rubbing his chin and was more confident than others that Isaac would do fine.


    Not many might know, but Marvin knows about the forum post, which showed Isaac battling against Orcs and terrifying Tail Spirit.


    If he can handle those, he can handle anything!


    Mark felt slightly lonely that Isaac was leaving but still had the rest of his family with him, and like Marvin, his innocent mind thought that Isaac would be gone for a few days and return just fine.


    Sophia''s face didn''t have much emotion, but deep inside her eyes, something unknown was visible.


    Alice''s heart was rapidly beating out of nervousness.


    *BA-THUMP!*


    *BA-THUMP!*


    Maxwell patted Isaac''s shoulder, and both of them finally left the mansion.


    Soon, the cars that were carrying them both left the mansion and started the journey to the airport.


    During the ride, Isaac had memories of almost every ce he managed to see. Even bad memories resurfaced in his mind, but most were good ones, and his throat became dry as he finally was leaving the City where he was born and raised.


    Even though he would be gone for a week, the thought of being in another city, surrounded by strangers, made him reluctant to go. Still, Isaac had already made up his mind, and during the car ride, he managed to restore his willpower.


    After the car reached the airport.


    Maxwell and Isaac left the car with both of them carrying bags.


    They entered the terminal and quickly made their way to the Gate, where Isaac''s ne would be deporting.


    After reaching the gate, Isaac gave the ne ticket to the flight attendant, who epted it with a gentle smile and felt like pinching his soft-looking cheeks but managed to calm her urges.


    ''''Son, if you don''t feel safe there, or they are bothering you.'''' Maxwell looked serious as he continued, ''''You have a return ticket, which you can use to leave at any time.''''


    Isaac nodded but didn''t n to leave early.


    ''''Thanks, dad.'''' He hugged his father and entered the hallway with two bags in his arms.


    Even Maxwell felt very nervous about the journey to the Brightstar, but he has started to trust his son more and was confident that he would be fine.


    Isaac soon entered the ne, where another flight attendant was already waiting for him with a gentle smile on her beautiful face.


    He showed the ticket, which told where his seat was.


    The flight attendant showed him his seat, which was in first ss.


    Isaac put the bags inside the overhead bin and, after that, sat down on the window seat.


    ''''If you need something, you can ask for anything.'''' The flight attendant said gently with slightly pink cheeks.


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac smiled towards the flight attendant, without realizing the hidden meaning of those words.


    Soon, the ne started moving in the runway.


    Isaac''s heartbeat became rapid as the ne started moving faster and faster until it waspletely airborne.


    Outside the window, he managed to see a glimpse of the snowy city of Snowstar.


    Isaac''s nose almost touched the window, and from there, he managed to see Whitelock Residence, where he had been living his entire life.


    The ne soon disappeared from the Snowstar and rapidly approached Brightstar, Capital City of Starshow!

 Chapter 228 - Sebastian and lsaac

    Chapter 228 - Sebastian and lsaac.


    In Brightstar Airport.


    A nended on the runway.


    Half an hourter, the passengers started departing the ne.


    Isaac stood up from his seat and grabbed his bags before being led out of the ne by flight attendants.


    After walking through a hallway, they reached the terminal where a crowd of people was walking back and forth.


    The rest of the passengers met up with their families or associates.


    Isaac tried to move in the sea of people, and after managing to sessfully reach the exit of the airport, on the other side of the ss door, he saw a professional man with elegant attire holding a sign.


    [Isaac Whitelock]


    Isaac pushed the ss doors open and walked towards the man, who instantly noticed him.


    His eyebrow raised significantly as he saw a white-haired individual walking straight towards him.


    ''''Are you¡­ My driver?'''' Isaac asked and saw a ck sedan behind the man.


    ''''You are Isaac Whitelock?'''' The man looked surprised at first before doing a polite bow, ''''My name is Sebastian, and I am Whitelock Family''s butler.''''


    Sebastian had a ssic hairstyle in the color of ck with a handsome face to crown it.


    ''''Nice to meet you.'''' Isaac shook hands with him, which surprised Sebastian because rarely any member of the nobility would shake hands with butlers.


    ''''Ahem¡­'''' He coughed to get rid of his initial surprise, ''''Can I get your bags?''''


    ''''Ah, yes.'''' Isaac gave him one of the bags and followed him towards the trunk, where they stored the two bags.


    Sebastian entered the driver''s seat while Isaac sat down in the backseat.


    Soon, the car''s engine revved, and soon, the ck sedan left the airport and entered the streets of Brightstar.


    Isaac looked outside the window and saw people taking pictures of each other while a line of people lined up to enter a Museum.


    ''''This is called Layer of Tourism,'''' Sebastian said after seeing Isaac''s confused face from the front mirror.


    ''''Ah, I see.'''' Isaac nodded but then asked, ''''Why is it called like that?''''


    ''''Brightstar is a famous city for tourism, but since two other Layer''s are somewhat closed from ordinary people, they decided to focus the tourism on the outeryer.''''


    Isaac nodded after hearing the exnation.


    The car passed a fancy-looking school, where students of different ages were talking with each other in the yard.


    They looked both youthful and energetic; it reminded Isaac of his school days.


    ''''Young master¡­'''' Sebastian opened his mouth but was instantly cut off by Isaac, ''''Just call me Isaac¡ª there are already too many people calling me that back in the Snowstar.''''


    Sebastian nodded and smiled, ''''Well then¡­ Isaac, are you currently in school?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''I dropped out.''''


    ''''Oh, why?'''' Sebastian and frowned. In Brightstar, it would be the end of the social life of the student who dropped out.


    Looking at Isaac, he can see that he is a bright person with a great brain inside his head.


    ''''Stuff happened.'''' Isaac sighed deeply, not wanting to dig deeper into the topic.


    Sebastian saw his face turning mncholic, and he decided to change the topic, ''''We will enter Layer of Feasting soon, be prepared, it will be an experience you will never again see in your life.''''


    ''''Oh, why is that?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    ''''Well¡­ The first time visiting Layer of Feasting is an experience no one will forget.'''' Sebastian smiled mysteriously and turned the steering wheel.


    The car entered another street, which went uphill, and on top of the uphill was a gate with a sign on top of it.


    [Layer of Feasting]


    Sebastian stopped the car in front of the gates and showed a card towards the gates, who bowed respectfully and opened the gates.


    Isaac curiously looked at the scene, and once the car entered the Layer of Feasting, his mind exploded in shock.


    *Sniff* *Sniff*


    Sebastian smiled after seeing Isaac sniffing the air.


    ''''What is this¡­ The smell of food?'''' Isaac looked outside the window and saw the streets being filled with restaurants and stalls, where men and women of every age were selling food.


    Isaac also noticed a cookingpetition between an older man and a confident young man!


    The older man kept smiling gently, and when he was cooking, the sight was mesmerizingly beautiful.


    ''''Layer of Feasting has the scent of food in the air 24/7,'''' Sebastian said, and in the distance, he could already see gates that lead straight to the Layer of Nobility.


    ''''Amazing¡­'''' Isaac still looked outside the window, even though the area where the cookingpetition happened was long gone.


    Soon, the car stopped in front of the gates, and Sebastian repeated the same thing he did in front of Layer of Feasting''s gates.


    He showed a card, and the guards opened the gates.


    Once the car entered Layer of Nobility, the scent of food disappeared, making Isaac disappointed.


    ''''I can take you to Layer of Feasting if you want to.'''' Sebastian suggested, ''''If Master and Mistress are fine with it.''''


    ''''I would love that,'''' Isaac replied and looked behind him, where the gates of Layer of Feasting were getting further away.


    In the windows, he saw beautiful mansions, but it didn''t interest him as much as the Layer of Feasting did.


    Soon, the car reached the Whitelock Mansion.


    Isaac looked outside and was shocked to see the size of the mansion!


    It was bigger than the one in Snowstar but also looked much emptier.


    The windows showed the dark interior of the mansion while dozens of servants cleaned the yard, even though it didn''t look that dirty.


    Sebastian carefully controlled the car and stopped in front of the mansion''s entrance.


    ''''We have arrived.'''' He said and left the car with Isaac.


    Isaac grabbed the bags from the trunk and noticed how servants were looking at him.


    They were curious and confused about who he was.


    Some even thought he was a beautiful girl at first, but Isaac''s posture had changed drastically, even though he didn''t notice it.


    His posture looked more manly and confident than before, making others realize that he was actually a boy, a very beautiful boy.


    ''''Wee to Whitelock Manor.'''' Sebastian opened the front door and showed the beautiful interior of the enormous mansion.

 Chapter 229 - lsaac’s Grandparents

    Chapter 229 - lsaac''s Grandparents.


    Isaac and Sebastian entered the mansion.


    In the distance, a beautiful wooden stairway was located, while the room in front of the front door was an enormous space which could fit easily thirty people.


    On the right side, another room was located, which didn''t have a door. Instead, it was open kitchen, that was currently empty.


    On the left side, a living room and dining room were in the same space but were muchrger than in Isaac''s home.


    ''''Master and Mistress are currently visiting theirpany.'''' Sebastian said and pointed at the living room, ''''You can wait in the living room.''''


    Isaac nodded and went to the living room with two bags in his hands.


    Sebastian, who was left alone at the front door, glimpsed outside the building, where another car entered through the gates.


    He opened the front door and waited in the doorway respectfully.


    Madison and Malcolm left the car and kept whispering between each other while walking past the servants.


    But then, they noticed Sebastian.


    ''''Sebastian, why are you here?'''' Madison stopped a meter away from him and asked, ''''Weren''t you supposed to get Isaac from the airport?''''


    ''''I already did¡ª he is waiting in the living room,'''' Sebastian replied and took Malcolm''s suitcase.


    ''''What?!'''' Madison shouted in shock, ''''He was supposed to arrive half an hourter!''''


    Sebastian wryly smiled, ''''It arrived earlier.''''


    ''''Oh no¡­'''' Madison took her phone from her pocket and opened a mirror app.


    She started fixing her hair.


    ''''Tch.'''' Malcolm shook his head, ''''Why are you putting so much effort? Let''s just enter.''''


    ''''Shut up, old man.'''' Madison red at her husband and sneakily grinned, ''''Who was the one who ordered the servants to clean the house three times?''''


    ''''What?'''' Malcolm snorted, ''''I like the house being clean.''''


    Madison rolled her eyes and then asked from Sebastian, ''''Well, how is he?''''


    Malcolm didn''t seem interested but had his ears perked up.


    ''''Well¡­'''' Sebastian sneakily looked towards the living room, where a white-haired youth was sitting with proper posture.


    ''''He is¡­ Smart and very polite.'''' Sebastian replied, ''''Also, nothing like the arrogant youths of other families.''''


    Madison sighed in relief and smiled, ''''I knew that Maxwell is able to raise his children well, isn''t that right, Malcolm?''''


    ''''Meh.'''' Malcolm turned towards Sebastian and said, ''''Take my suitcase to my office, then join us in the living room.''''


    Sebastian nodded and entered the mansion. He walked past the living room and walked up the stairs with light steps.


    Malcolm fixed his cor and entered the mansion with his wife, who was still fixing her hair.


    From the corner of his eye, he could already see a white-haired youth in the living room. His eyesight was excellent, which allowed him to see Isaac clearly.


    The first thing that surprised him was the hair color. It wasmon knowledge that white hair was very unordinary and rare in some cases.


    Next was the face, which looked vastly different from Maxwell''s and Malcolm''s.


    Not many would think that Isaac was Maxwell''s son just from those descriptions, but Malcolm and Madison heard that one of Maxwell''s children was born with rare hair color.


    Madison had a gentle smile on her face as she saw Isaac first time. Instantly, she felt very close with him and knew that he was part of their family!


    It was a subconscious feeling.


    Isaac heard the footstepsing from the front door and saw two elderly figures appearing, who still looked very attractive.


    He stood up and politely bowed, ''''My name is Isaac Whitelock.''''


    ''''My name is Madison Whitelock.'''' Madison, with light steps, appeared in front of Isaac and trapped him in a hug.


    Isaac was surprised after getting hugged suddenly but returned the gentle hug, which was much different from the hugs he had received from his family.


    His gaze lingered on the muscr man, who had his arms crossed. He slightly felt nervous about being in his presence because he knows the rocky rtionship between the burly man and his father.


    Madison ended the hug and looked at her husband with a twitching eyebrow, ''''This stubborn old man is Malcolm Whitelock, your grandfather.''''


    ''''Ah, nice to meet you.'''' Isaac put his hand forwards for a handshake.


    Malcolm looked at the frail-looking hand for several seconds before grabbing it and squeezing it tight while shaking his hand.


    Once the handshake ended, Isaac looked at his own hand, which had a red mark, and thought Malcolm had tested him.


    But, Malcolm internally panicked after seeing the red mark, but outside, he looked stoic and unfazed.


    ''''Have you eaten yet?'''' Madison asked and heard the footstepsing from upstairs, ''''Sebastian''s food is excellent. He is, after all, from Layer of Feasting and was one of the greatest chefs beforeing here as a butler.''''


    ''''Indeed, I was quite skilled, and I still have my previous skill with me.'''' Sebastian appeared in the living room and said politely.


    ''''Why did you change your profession?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    Sebastian smiled and said, ''''Layer of Feasting is a battlefield, and I simply got burnt out. Being a butler has been much more enjoyable and rxing.''''


    ''''Sebastian is great butler but it might get sometimes boring.'''' Madison looked at the empty mansion and sighed, ''''It''s very empty here¡­''''


    ''''Are you hungry? He can make anything you want.'''' She asked while sitting on the sofa with Isaac next to her.


    ''''Well, sure.'''' Isaac nodded.


    He didn''t eat anything during the flight.


    Sebastian nodded and went to the kitchen, leaving members of the Whitelock family alone.


    While waiting for food, they started getting know each other better, but then Isaac noticed a painting on the wall.


    It was a painting of Malcolm with his group of friends with a dead bear behind them.


    Malcolm puffed his chest in pride after seeing Isaac curious about the painting, ''''Curious about the painting?'''' He asked.


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''In one of our hunting trips, we came face-to-face with a terrifying three-meter bear whose ws alone could slice the trees in half.'''' Malcolm started telling the tale.


    Madison sighed and rolled his eyes. She had heard the same story countless times and thought that Isaac wasn''t that interested.


    But, Isaac was very interested and listened closely.

 Chapter 230 - Delicious

    Chapter 230 - Delicious.


    Sebastian appeared in the dining room with trays of delicious-looking food.


    He neatly put the tes down on the table while the scent of the food managed to travel all the way to Isaac''s nose.


    ''''Mmm¡­'''' Madison closed his eyes with satisfaction and smiled, ''''Sebastian, you went all-out, didn''t you?''''


    Sebastian smiled and stepped to the side, ''''Food is served.''''


    Isaac, Madison, and Malcolm stood up and sat down around the dining table.


    The food was still smoking hot, but they could barely resist taking a bite.


    Isaac grabbed the metallic fork and took a piece of the steak.


    Once he did that, juices started pouring down from the steak''s interior, making Isaac gulp.


    His hand trembled, and he desperately wanted to take a piece, but he would burn his tongue.


    ''''The steak is called Ribeye Steak.'''' Sebastian exined, ''''Itsbination of luxurious tenderness and big beefy vor makes it one of the best steaks in the world.''''


    Isaac nodded and decided that it had cooled down enough.


    He moved his hand, and once the steak piece was inside his mouth, he closed his mouth and enjoyed the steak''s vor.


    His eyes widened in pleasant surprise and slight shock.


    He had never tasted something so tasty.


    Sebastian stood calmly while Whitelock Family members were dining. He was confident in his cooking, and rarely did he have a chance to show off his cooking skills, but now he could.


    Isaac''s respect for Sebastian grew even more after tasting the sd on the te.


    It looked somewhat simplepared to steak, but it wasn''t any worse than steak.


    The sauce on top of the sd gave it an exotic taste, which he had never tasted before.


    Malcolm used a napkin to wipe the greasy stains from his mouth, and after he was done, he opened his mouth while looking at Isaac, ''''About the story, I told you before, the bear''s ws are in my office.''''


    ''''Really?'''' Isaac asked with surprise.


    Malcolm nodded, ''''We all took souvenirs of the beast we killed, and I was lucky enough to get the ws.''''


    Madison wryly smiled and shook her head, thinking that Isaac wasn''t that interested and was only acting.


    ''''Can I see them?'''' Isaac asked with slight excitement. He wondered how sharp the ws were if they could cut through a wooden trunk!


    ''''O-Oh, sure,'''' Malcolm replied with slight surprise. He didn''t expect Isaac wanting to see them.


    ''He knows how much hunting means for Malcolm¡­'' Madison thought with a gentle smile, ''Maxwell indeed taught him well¡­''


    She had a bigger misunderstanding, thinking that Isaac just asked out of politeness.


    Malcolm nced at his wife and quickly said to Isaac, ''''Actually¡­ I will go on a hunting trip with my friends next Saturday.''''


    Isaac widened his eyes in surprise, ''''Really? Can I co¡ª'''' Before he could ask, Madison interrupted.


    ''''On Saturday?'''' Madison raised an eyebrow, ''''Wasn''t it supposed to be on Friday?''''


    ''''Well¡­'''' Malcolm scratched his cheek and replied, ''''Friday will have that thing¡­ Remember?''''


    ''''Oh¡­ Right.'''' Madison facepalmed afterpletely forgetting an event that would change the world.


    ''''You were saying..?'''' Malcolm asked from Isaac, who wanted to ask a question before his wife interrupted.


    ''''Umm¡­ Nothing.'''' Isaac shook his head and thought it would be too quick to ask if he coulde with them.


    He doesn''t want to be a bother to them.


    Soon, they finished the food, and Sebastian went to wash the tes that were filled with food only a few minutes ago but were now empty, without even sauce left.


    ''''Isaac, I will show you your room.'''' Madison stood up and whispered something towards Malcolm before grabbing Isaac''s hand and leading him to the upstairs.


    They went all the way to the third floor, where Isaac''s room was located.


    Madison stopped in front of a wooden door where the namete with Isaac''s name was located.


    Master crafter crafted it, and it clearly showed.


    Madison smiled after seeing Isaac''s surprised look, ''''We went to get it from an old friend, who owed us a favor¡ª it''s beautiful, isn''t it?''''


    Isaac nodded dumbly and looked at the namete for a few seconds longer until Madison finally opened the door and showed the room.


    The room was insanelyrge.


    Isaac crouched and touched the soft carpet. His hands felt the texture of the softness and wondered what it was made from.


    He knew that it was far from cheap.


    Next to the window, a beautiful desk was located with a chair in front.


    Another door led straight to the bathroom, which wasrger than a room in an ordinary citizen''s house.


    A wooden wardrobe was located next to the bookshelf, full of books.


    The wardrobe alone could easily fit all of Isaac''s clothes, and even still, it would look like it could fit much more.


    Madison looked around the room and nodded with satisfaction. She put quite a lot of effort into the room and even bought the bookshelf and hundreds of books.


    She thought that Isaac would like to read the books because her son did.


    Arge TV was nailed on the floor, with consoles on top of the small table that was under the TV.


    Madison didn''t want to take any risks and bought everything a young man would need and put them all in Isaac''s room.


    ''''This is¡­ Insane.'''' Isaac couldn''t describe it with anything else. His room in Snowstar was a jokepared to this.


    He would be fine with a simple bed and wardrobe, but now he has basically his own house inside the room.


    Madison gently smiled and then remembered one thing that was missing from the room, ''''Ah, I forgot something!'''' She left the room in a hurry, and Isaac heard her footsteps getting further away.


    Isaac lowered his bags and put them gently on the soft carper.


    He felt strange while looking at the room.


    He was missing his family, but he knew that he wouldn''t be alone, even though he barely knew his grandparents.


    Isaac decided to use this as the first step to his adulthood.


    He wanted to learn to be independent, and now was the perfect time.

 Chapter 231 - Hunting Trip

    Chapter 231 - Hunting Trip.


    Isaac stood in front of the wardrobe while putting the clothes into the hangers.


    His bags were getting emptier with each passing minute.


    *Creak*


    Soon, the door was opened, and once Isaac turned his head, he saw Madison entering with a bag.


    Madison showed the bag and said, ''''nkets. If you feel cold, you can use these.''''


    ''''Thanks,'''' Isaac said and watched as she put the bag down on the floor next to the bed.


    He turned his head back and started focusing on unpacking.


    After putting the bag down on the floor, Madison turned around to see Isaac unpacking.


    She felt mncholic at the scene because it resembled a lot of Maxwell.


    Even though Isaac looks vastly different, there are some resemnces between the two.


    Soon, Isaac had emptied his bags from the clothes, and only electronic stuff was left.


    ''''What is that?'''' Madison pointed at the ck box that was slightly peeking through from the bag.


    ''''Ah.'''' Isaac took the ck box and went to bed, where he put the box gently down.


    Madison curiously watched as Isaac slowly opened the box.


    Once the box was open, Isaac grabbed the VR Helmet and showed the beauty of the headgear.


    ''''W-Wait, isn''t that?'''' Madison''s eyes almost popped out of their sockets.


    ''''Yes, it''s Mythical,'''' Isaac said while gently touching the sides of the headgear, being very careful, trying not to damage it in any way.


    ''''Where did you get it?'''' Madison asked with shock and leaned closer, so she could see the beautiful headgear closer.


    ''''My father gave it to me,'''' Isaac revealed. He thought it would be fine to tell them.


    Madison was shocked at the reveal and thought that her son has indeed be a sessful man.


    In the end, he never needed their protection.


    Madison''s shoulders slumped after knowing that she wasn''t there to witness her son''s growth from protected youth to a sessful businessman.


    Then she remembered the VR Helmet and what it was for.


    ''''Do you y White Online?'''' She asked and sat down on the bed.


    ''''Yes'''' He replied and put the headgear back in the box.


    ''''Are you nning on getting Legacy?'''' She asked curiously while moving her legs forward and back.


    Isaac smiled but didn''t answer.


    He went to the wardrobe and hid the box in there.


    It has be routine for him by now.


    For some reason, he likes when the VR Helmet was properly hidden and not somewhere visible.


    Madison stood up and said, ''''If you need anything else, please ask from me¡ª no need to be shy.'''' She winked and left the room while humming gently.


    Her melodious voice is still echoing in the room.


    Isaac closed the door, and after the peace was restored to the room, he took a deep breath and felt overwhelmed at the things he had seen.


    The room felt way toorge for him, making him feel even lonelier.


    ''''Whew¡­''''


    *SMACK!*


    Isaac powerfully pped his cheeks and gathered his courage to keep going.


    He went back to the bags and unpacked the electronic items.


    Soon, the beautiful desk had aptop and phone, with the charger connected on the wall plug.


    Once he finished unpacking, he moved the bags underneath the bed.


    He was done with unpacking, and Isaac used the next five minutes to rx.


    After lying on the bed for five minutes, the knocking sound came from the door.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    ''''Come in.'''' Isaac sat up and watched as the door slowly opened.


    From the door, a muscr man came with his usual stoic look.


    ''''You said you wanted to see the bear ws?'''' Malcolm asked, ''''I was going to my office; if you want to see them, then follow me.'''' He left the room and slowly started making his way over to the stairway.


    Isaac jumped up on his feet and left his room with hurried steps.


    He managed to catch Malcolm once he reached the fourth floor.


    The fourth floor was the highest floor in the mansion, and it was also where Malcolm''s office was located.


    He turned right and walked all the way to the end of the corridor, where the wooden door was located.


    He pushed the door open and saw arge office with a desk in the middle and all sorts of the shelves on the walls.


    There were also pictures and paintings on the walls, but what caught Isaac''s gaze was a ss box that contained very sharp-looking ws that were at least 20cm in length.


    Malcolm stopped in front of the ss box and said, ''''This is the one.''''


    Isaac stopped next to him and could almost feel the sharpness of the ws.


    He grabbed his neck and wondered how it would feel if he got hit by those in White Online.


    He would be lucky to keep his body intact, but it would be very unlikely.


    Malcolm was very proud of the achievement, and it was one of the greatest moments in his life.


    Next to the ss box, a picture was framed.


    It was a picture of a beautiful woman and a handsome man.


    The beautiful woman was carrying a baby that was asleep.


    The two individuals resembled a lot of Madison and Malcolm, but they were much younger in the picture.


    Malcolm nced at the picture before turning away.


    He sat down on the office chair and sighed, ''''Maxwell must hate us.''''


    He looked at Isaac and saw him standing without answering.


    ''''That bad, huh?''''


    Isaac wryly smiled and nodded.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Malcolm sighed, ''''Being nobility changed our view of things, and only when we got older did we realize our mistakes, but it was toote by then.''''


    ''''It''s never toote,'''' Isaac said.


    ''''Well¡­ I guess you being here is progress.'''' Malcolm chuckled slightly.


    He raised his head slightly and looked outside the open door, where the empty corridor was.


    After seeing his wife being far away, he asked, ''''Do you want to join us on the hunting trip? It can be fun.'''' His eyes showed a tinge of hope, and he wanted him toe.


    ''''Really?'''' Isaac looked surprised and saw Malcolm nodding.


    ''''Well, if I am not trouble, I would love to.'''' Isaac did a slight bow and clenched his fist in celebration.


    He really wanted to try a real hunting rifle and see how different it was from the guns he had used in White Online!


    Malcolm smiled and nodded, ''''And¡­ Don''t tell your grandmother, it shall stay a secret.'''' He sweatdropped at the thought of Madison finding out.


    Isaac nodded but didn''t understand why it should stay a secret.

 Chapter 232 - Royal Party

    Chapter 232 - Royal Party.


    *Tap* *Tap*


    In front of a beautiful desk, a young man with white hair was typing rapidly on theptop.


    Theptop''s keyboard getting tapped on echoed in the spacious room.


    On theptop screen, a chat room was visible.


    The chat room was between a person called Isaac and Maxwell.


    They decided to stay in contact via the chat room, and Isaac had to report everything that happened.


    After he had finished telling everything, the chat room became quiet.


    Maxwell stopped typing; he wasn''t sure whether things told by Isaac could be ssified as truth.


    Isaac waited patiently for his father to reply.


    But then, he noticed the green dot next to Maxwell''s name turning red.


    It meant Maxwell logged out.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Isaac sighed heavily and left the chat room as well.


    *Beep*


    Next to theptop, his phone was lying on top of the desk. Every five seconds or so, it shed.


    The dark screen changed shades until it was showing the starting screen.


    Isaac nced at the message he received but waited for the screen to be dark.


    He had gotten a lot of messages from News Stations wanting to interview him about his experiences so far and about the potential of the Marksman ss.


    Top News Stations don''t care about him yet, because, in their minds, Marksman yers are still inferior yers.


    But, for smaller News Stations, someone like Isaac was a gem.


    His looks were somewhat obscure in the video, but his otherworldly features couldn''t be hidden.


    His having Marksman ss was only one reason he became famous. The second reason was his looks, which caused a heated discussion.


    The ones who watched him stream became very important in the eyes of the Intemunity because they were there witnessing his unbelievable feat.


    They told everything they knew about Isaac.


    There are no VOD of his stream, only the short Stream Clip.


    The number of people waiting for his next stream wasn''t small.


    Top Streamers thought that the hype would die down, but they had no idea¡­ What happens in the next 24 hours will forever change the streamingmunity¡­


    Isaac closed theptop and kept sitting for a minute before turning around to look at the wardrobe.


    ''''Well¡­'''' He nced at the clock that was nailed on the wall and saw that it wasn''t toote yet.


    He decided to go y for a few hours before going to bed.


    *Creak*


    Isaac arrived in front of the wardrobe and opened the wooden doors.


    Behind the clothes, the ck box was nicely hidden, but it couldn''t escape Isaac''s sight.


    He grabbed the box and carried it all the way to the bed.


    Once he had sat down on the bed, he opened the box and took the headgear from there.


    ''''Ah¡­'''' He lied down, and a small sigh of satisfaction escaped his mouth.


    He gently put the headgear around his head and covered his eyes with the visor.


    *Tap*


    Once again, he pressed a button on the side of the headgear and felt the skinsuit surrounding his body.


    He tried to move his toes and fingers.


    His toes and fingers barely moved while the skinsuit tightly hugged his body.


    ''''Enter¡­'''' Isaac murmured and moved his limbs around before closing his eyes.


    This time¡­ Something strange happened.


    Isaac opened his eyes in shock and looked at his skin suit that was starting to change colors!


    The previous ck skin suit turned blue with snowkes symbols on the chest and limbs!


    ''''W-What¡­'''' Soon, the visor started having texts, which was different than before.


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Good Luck, White Death!]


    [Game: White Online - Status: Outstanding!]


    His vision started bing blurry as his consciousness started slowly entering World of White.


    But, during that.


    He saw different visions.


    Memories¡­


    A man with a white mask fired his gun and killed dozens of soldiers wearing brown-colored coats.


    Artillery strikesnded on the ground from the sky, destroying everything around the area, except their target.


    The man with the white mask simply shrugged it off and kept firing his gun.


    Each bullet of his caused another casualty in the enemy''s ranks.


    ''''Your turn¡­ Turn¡­ Turn¡­'''' His voice echoed in Isaac''s mind, and then his consciousness finally entered White Online.


    ¡­


    ''''Haaah!'''' Isaac sat down in shock with cold sweat pouring down from his back.


    ''''What was that¡­'''' He grabbed his head, which was aching for some reason.


    ''''Grrr¡­'''' His teeth made gritting noises, and he thought that the pain would never go away.


    But then¡­ The pain mysteriously disappeared, leaving sweaty Isaac behind.


    He still felt dizzy, but he managed to stand up, even though he staggered.


    ''''That was madness¡­'''' Isaac shook his head and got rid of the dizziness.


    ''''I hope that was a one-time thing¡­'''' He grabbed his neck and rubbed it with a painful look on his face.


    *Creak*


    He left his rented room and arrived at the hallway, with the staircase only a meter away from him.


    He walked down the stairs and appeared in front of the front door, with the living room on the right side and the kitchen on the left, but there was no sign of the beautiful young woman, whose passion for cooking could be considered unrivaled.


    ''''She is always gone¡­'''' He thought but shrugged, knowing that she must be a very busy person.


    Isaac took a look at his clothes and saw him wearing the usual Camouge Outfit.


    Now he remembered that the strange event of him always waking up with clothes didn''t happen anymore.


    It happened twice, but that was it.


    ''''Maybe Arthur fixed it¡­'''' Isaac murmured and didn''t pry any deeper into it.


    *Creak*


    After making sure he had his keys and everything he needed, he left the building and started quickly making his way over to the neighborhood gates.


    But then, his feet came to a stop as he noticed something strange.


    In the center of the City, there was the Royal Mountain, where the Royal Pce was located, and currently, different colors of lights were shing, like a massive party was happening.


    The sky above the Stronglord was getting darker, and individuals with luxurious clothes started making their way over to the Royal Pce.


    ''''Party, huh¡­''''

 Chapter 233 - lsaac’s Fame

    Chapter 233 - lsaac''s Fame.


    The dark sky on top of Stronglord wasn''t as dark as expected.


    There was one reason for it.


    The massive mountain was lit up withnterns, and the shing light made the surrounding environment very colorful.


    Isaac entered the busy streets, where NPCs and yer''s alike looked towards the mountain with envious gazes.


    It was a ce where only the privileged could go to.


    Nobles of every age will be visiting the party that can only be described with one word.


    Luxurious.


    Many of the citizens and yers wanted to go there desperately, but they knew that they needed status for it.


    The status they don''t have.


    Isaac was only curious about the party but wasn''t that desperate to go there; that''s why he continued walking in the streets while most of the passersby''s had their eyes locked on the mountain.


    Soon, he arrived in front of a ce that made him curious.


    It was a tea shop.


    Isaac entered the shop while being curious about the taste.


    The food was already extremely delicious, but what about the tea?


    He was excited to find out.


    Soon, he found an empty table, where he sat down and waited for the waitress to arrive.


    Soon, a handsome man with professional attire appeared next to the table with a clipboard in his right hand.


    ''''Sir, wee to Tea of Dreams.'''' The waiter did a simple nod and offered a menu of all sorts of teas, ''''Tell me when you are ready to offer.''''


    He was about to leave, but then Isaac said, ''''Green tea, please.''''


    ''''Alright.'''' The waiter wrote the order now and left to get it ready.


    Since he was a child, green tea was the only tea Isaac ever enjoyed, he didn''t know the reason, but it was easily his favorite one.


    It was one of the healthiest teas, making it Isaac''s number one choice before he even started drinking tea.


    On the table only a few meters away from him, a man and woman were whispering between each other while pointing at Isaac.


    Isaac raised an eyebrow after noticing them pointing at him and also obviously discussing.


    He clenched his fist, ''If they think of robbing me¡­ I will show them what happens when you choose the wrong target¡­''


    But then, the man on the table stood up and appeared next to Isaac''s table.


    His face had slight shyness as he took a piece of paper from his pocket, ''''Mister Wraith, can I get your autograph?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac widened his eyes in shock, ''''Autograph? From me?''''


    The man nodded vigorously.


    ''''Why do you want an autograph from me?'''' Isaac asked while taking the paper.


    ''''Well¡­'''' The man chuckled and scratched his head with awkwardness, ''''I rarely get to meet any celebrities, and I wanted something to remind me of this meeting.''''


    ''''Ah¡­ I see¡­'''' Isaac took a pencil from the man and wrote his in-game name on the paper.


    ''''There¡­'''' He gave the paper back, and the man epted it with excitement.


    ''Celebrity¡­ Me?'' Isaac rubbed his forehead while watching the man walking towards the woman with excitement.


    Soon afterwards, the waiter came with a cup of tea.


    He lowered the cup in front of Isaac and said, ''''Please enjoy.''''


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac grabbed the cup and took a short sip.


    Instantly, his mind experienced a surge of pleasure.


    [Vitality Increased by 1!]


    ''Again!'' Isaac eximed in his mind and looked around him, but all the customers kept drinking teas peacefully.


    ''Wait¡­ Why did I get an increase of vitality?'' Isaac thought and was sure that the shops would be packed with people if the tea could increase vitality!


    But, the yers who kept drinking the tea didn''t look surprised or even excited.


    ''Weird¡­'' Isaac gulped the tea down and was sure that increase in vitality was something umon.


    Soon, the waiter arrived with a bill, and Isaac easily afforded it.


    Once he finished paying, he left the shop and instantly a strange view came visible.


    The NPCs and yers around the streets quickly left the roads and stepped onto the sidewalks.


    Isaac peeked towards the streets and understood the reason why everyone left the road.


    A carriage wasing in a hurry!


    ''''Out of the way!'''' The Carriage Driver shouted angrily and keptshing his whip at the horse''s buttocks.


    The Carriage looked brand new, and the reason was because of an ident a few days ago.


    For some reason, all Carriages were destroyed overnight.


    The culprit''s identities were revealed, but the guards didn''t manage to catch them.


    But, because of that, Royal Family paid for new Carriages.


    That caused Carriage Drivers to be even more arrogant.


    They can now say that even Royal Family can''t offend them.


    But, they only paid for the new Carriages because it was their fault that the carriages were destroyed in the first ce.


    The Guards are working for Royal Family, and their mistakes are also Royal Family''s mistakes.


    Soon, the Carriage entered the part of the street where Isaac was.


    Inside the carriage.


    A beautiful young woman with a maid outfit peeked through the curtains and curiously looked at the citizens.


    In front of her, a beautiful young woman in a luxurious dress was looking outside the window with slight excitement as well. She can rarely escape her family''s protection, but this time, she was allowed to go on her own Carriage!


    Her family wasing behind her, but already able to travel independently and with her childhood friend was a dream toe true.


    But then, both the maid and the beautiful young woman flinched.


    They saw a white-haired youth in the crowd and saw how the pupils of the youth turned into shapes of snowkes once.


    ''''Please, stop the carriage!'''' The young woman shouted anxiously.


    ''''Tsk.'''' The carriage driver clicked his tongue and slowly stopped the carriage, ''''Hurry up, I don''t have all day!''''


    ''''Ah, sorry!'''' She quickly bowed and left the carriage.


    The passersby were shocked to see the appearance of a lovely young woman, and many wondered who she was.


    But, she ran towards someone.


    The yer''s who saw her running towards them instantly straightened their backs and tried to look as handsome as possible, but she ran past them and stopped in front of Isaac!


    ''''E-Excuse me¡­'''' She said with an exhausted voice, but soon a smile was found on her face, ''''Mister Legacy Carrier, are you going to the party? Can we escort you?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac was surprised, but so were nearby NPCs.


    Most of the yers looked confused because they couldn''t properly hear her, but NPCs managed to hear.


    ''Legacy Carrier?!'' They shouted in their minds and almost felt like they had met a God!


    The beautiful young woman''s smile looked lovely while her beautiful ck hair reached her slim waist.


    She had a tinge of hope in her eyes because she knew that getting to see a Legacy Carrier was life-changing!


    She doesn''t know what rank the white-haired youth had, but even an Ordinary one was worth it!

 Chapter 234 - Royal Layer

    Chapter 234 - Royal Layer.


    In the streets, both NPCs and yers looked surprised at their conversation.


    yers tried to get closer, so they could hear better, but a wall of NPCs was on their way, blocking them from moving any further.


    ''''Am I allowed to enter the party?'''' Isaac asked the first question that arrived on his mind. When he was looking at the mountain, he wanted to go there to visit for fun but knew that he would need to be noble to get ess.


    But, now, he was being told that he could enter with the status of being a Legacy Carrier.


    ''''Of course!'''' The beautiful young woman said with excitement. She noticed Isaac''s curious gaze, and she was sure that he needed one little push!


    ''''It will be super fun!'''' She tried to tempt Isaac toe.


    She didn''t do it only because it would increase her status in a noble circle, but because she had a hunch that Isaac being there would change the partypletely!


    She was excited to find out the rank of Isaac''s Legacy and was almost sure that it was above the Ordinary one!


    ''''Alright¡­'''' Isaac agreed, and instantly the young woman cheered loudly.


    She grabbed Isaac''s soft hand and dragged him towards the carriage.


    ''''Wow, your hands are so smooth.'''' She felt envious while trailing her finger on Isaac''s palm.


    ''''Right¡­'''' Isaac pulled his hand back, not feeling veryfortable of having someone he didn''t know touching his hand.


    She didn''t mind and opened the carriage door for him.


    Isaac entered the carriage and noticed another beautiful young woman in a maid costume.


    The maid did a polite bow.


    Isaac nodded and sat down on the other side of the carriage, while the beautiful young woman sat next to the maid and smiled at Isaac.


    After they entered the carriage.


    Few yers were whispering between each other.


    ''''Wasn''t that Wraith?''''


    ''''No way.''''


    ''''But, he looked very simr, and I only managed to see a little bit of his nametag, but I definitely saw the first letter being W!''''


    yers around them looked skeptical because meeting someone like Wraith was very unlikely in their minds.


    Soon, the carriage started moving, but even faster this time.


    The carriage driver seemed to be in a hurry as he keptshing the whip like his life depended on it.


    Passersby''s had to jump out of the way on the streets because the carriage driver didn''t even bother to shout at them to dodge.


    The reason was simple.


    His throat was starting to get sore, so he didn''t bother to shout at anymore.


    If someone got run over, it was their fault and not his.


    His chin was raised, even though screams of displeasure echoed in his ears, but he didn''t care because, in his opinion, he was above the lowly mortals.


    Inside the carriage.


    Isaac knew that the carriage trip would take some time, he decided to use the time to ask questions.


    ''''Who are you, and how did you know I was Legacy Carrier?''''


    ''''My name is Zoe Happylife.'''' The beautiful woman said and pointed at the maid, ''''And she is my childhood friend, Amy.''''


    Amy nodded with a slight smile.


    Isaac nodded in return and waited for the answer to his second question.


    ''''And about the second question¡­'''' Zoe thought for a second until a slight giggle left her mouth, ''''Hehe, I don''t know. I just knew that there was great power in you.''''


    ''''Same with me¡­'''' Amy replied with a quiet tone, but Isaac managed to hear her.


    ''Maybe¡­ She is like Special NPC.'' Isaac rubbed his chin and remembered from some RPG games that there were ordinary NPCs and Special NPCs. Want to see more chapters?


    ''''Look!'''' But then, Zoe eximed and opened the curtains.


    Isaac looked outside the window and sawrge walls with metallic gates in the distance.


    On top of the gates, words [Noble Layer] were seen.


    Once the carriage appeared in front of the gates, the Guards allowed them to enter without any hups.


    Once the carriage entered the nobleyer, Isaac, Zoe, and Amy managed to see the beautiful mansion-like buildings around the streets.


    The stores, restaurants, and even parks looked way more luxurious!


    Outer Layer has a somewhat smell of trash in the air, but in the nobleyer, there was the smell of flowers.


    Zoe and Amy closed their eyes in satisfaction, but Isaac didn''t change much of his expression.


    What surprised him was the beautiful parks, which were like a dreame true for the people who loved nature, like Isaac.


    In the middle of the park was argeke, with a beautiful pic area around it.


    But currently, the park was empty because everyone who is living in the nobleyer had entered the Royal Layer, where the party was being held!


    In the distance, they could already see another wall with a beautiful mountain in the distance.


    The mountain was shing with all sorts of colors, making the scene gorgeous.


    Soon, the carriage in front of the golden gates that led to the Royal Layer.


    This time, the Guards searched the carriage and took a look at it inside.


    They didn''t bat an eye at the two beautiful women, but when they saw Isaac, they stopped for several seconds before nodding and returning to the gates.


    Soon, the gates opened, and they were allowed inside.


    Isaac looked outside the window, wondering why they looked at him longer than others.


    ''Do I look suspicious?'' He thought while looking at his clothes, and didn''t notice the Guards saluting at him once the carriage passed the gates.


    The Royal Layer was vastly different from Noble Layer.


    The carriage moved in a simple stone road, while a luxurious garden was all around them.


    Isaac noticed the enormous garden that was surrounding the mountain!


    It seemed to be endless, and Isaac wondered just how many gardeners were needed to keep it in such good shape.


    His thoughts were soon interrupted after reaching another golden gate.


    It was thest stop before they could enter the Royal Mountain.


    ''''Wow¡­'''' Zoe and Amy eximed. Their house looks nothingpared to the beautiful mountain that seemed to be sculptured from the finest materials.

 Chapter 235 - Emperor

    Chapter 235 - Emperor.


    ''''We have arrived, now get out¡ª I don''t have all day.'''' The carriage driver said with usual rudeness.


    ''''I-I am sorry.'''' Zoe bowed and apologized. She had heard about the carriage drivers of Stronglord Empire having more influence than ever before and was scared of angering them.


    They left the carriage, but the carriage driver didn''t leave. Instead, he left the driver''s seat and arrogantly entered through the gates.


    He was walking straight toward the stairways and seemed to be on the way to joining the party.


    The Royal Guards didn''t stop him, and their faces didn''t have even a shred of interest.


    ''''Is the party really that important?'''' Isaac asked from Amy while walking towards the gates.


    ''''Yes, it is the biggest party of the year!'''' She replied with excitement but soon covered her mouth with cheeks starting to have a hue of pink.


    She can''t believe that she has lost control of her emotions like that.


    Isaac nodded and became more interested in the party.


    Zoe was stopped by the Royal Guards, who were wearing golden armor with a majestic Royal symbol on the chest shaped like a lion.


    She showed the invitation card and was allowed to enter with Amy.


    When it was Isaac''s turn, he noticed how the Royal Guards looked at him with intense gazes, and he wasn''t sure whether he was allowed to enter or not.


    ''''Wee to Royal Pce, Sir!'''' They took a step to the side and allowed Isaac to enter!


    Everyone around the gates looked surprised.


    Rarely was anyone greeted by the Royal Guards!


    And rarely has anyone been called as Sir by the Royal Guards!


    Zoe and Amy looked amazed, and their eyes had slight worship when they looked at Isaac.


    The carriage driver, who had taken five steps on the stairways, also heard that greeting.


    He turned around and frowned at the white-haired youth.


    ''Who is that bastard? Is he more important than me? How dare they.'' He looked at the Royal Guards with anger and decided to talk with King about them!


    He flicked his sleeve and continued his journey to the top of the mountain, but he looked exhausted after only ten steps.


    ''''Fuck¡­ I will tell King to remove the stairs and tell someone to carry me from now on!'''' With heavy and exhausting steps, he continued walking but felt depressed after seeing there were over a thousand steps left!


    Isaac nodded at the guards and entered the gates, still surprised that the Guards actually greeted him.


    ''They knew I am Legacy Carrier¡­ But they don''t seem to know the rank, or do they?'' He stopped walking and looked at the Royal Guard, who started slightly sweating, thinking that they might have angered the white-haired youth in some way.


    ''''Hey,'''' Isaac whispered and noticed how the Guards straightened their backs like they were in the presence of a King.


    ''''Do you know what Legacy Rank I am?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' The Royal Guards replied.


    ''''How?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''We have been trained to be able to detect Legacy Carriers and what Legacy Ranks they have!''''


    ''''For what purpose?''''


    The Royal Guards shouted, ''''So that we won''t identally disrespect someone as great as you, sir!''''


    ''''Oh¡­'''' Isaac rubbed his cheek and finally left the gates, which caused the Royal Guards to heave a sigh of relief.


    ''''Wow, you are amazing,'''' Zoe said with sparkling eyes after Isaac returned.


    ''''Hmm, how so?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''You must be a high-ranked Legacy Carrier!'''' Zoe was now sure about it.


    ''''Well¡­'''' Isaac shrugged.


    They entered the stairways and started walking up the long stairways, where hundreds of nobles with fancy-looking clothes were walking in front of them.


    While walking, Isaac noticed how small the Stronglord looked from the mountain.


    ''No wonder Royal Family likes to live in the mountain¡­ It will make them feel more powerful than they already are¡­'' Isaac had his own thoughts about the Royal Family.Want to see more chapters?


    He thought they liked to flex their power and feel like Gods, but he hadn''t met them and didn''t know the real reason.


    It could also be for security purposes.


    It was extremely difficult to attack the Royal Pce because it was so high up, and there were manyyers of defenses.


    That was one of the reasons why the Stronglord Royal Family has been able to stay in power for so long.


    Zoe and Amy felt lightheaded after looking down because of a single misstep, and they would have a long fall ahead.


    But, Isaac noticed that the stairs were very secure, and the chances of falling down were almost nigh.


    Zoe and Amy grabbed each other''s hands and tried to catch up with Isaac, who was already walking way ahead.


    They had passed the carriage driver a long time ago, who could do nothing except look at them grudgingly.


    After the exhausting walk, Isaac managed to enter the top of the mountain.


    Surrounding nobles looked way more exhausted than him, but he also felt a slight burning sensation around his thighs.


    He turned his head and saw Zoe and Amy only ten meters away from the top, but they looked much more exhausted.


    Isaac turned his head back and saw the beautiful Royal Pce in the distance.


    The tip of the Royal Pce reached even higher than he anticipated, and Isaac was almost sure that it was over 500 meters above him, making the whole Royal Pce look enormous!


    The walls of the Royal Pce were made from gold with red paintings and silver lining.


    The foundation of the royal pce was made from one of the most durable materials that can be found in the Stronglord Empire.


    That foundation made the Royal Pce very tough and almost indestructible.


    Some of the walls were being held up by golden pirs, but they were only for extra durability and aesthetic purposes.


    The pirs aren''t very needed, but the King who built the Pce wanted the pirs because it makes the Pce look more majestic-like.


    Stronglord Empire has been called the Stronglord Kingdom for centuries, but only two years ago, the current Emperor of Stronglord managed to increase Stronglord''s military power and territory.


    Because of his excellent management, Stronglord Kingdom became Stronglord Empire.


    All of this was because of a single person.


    Emperor of Stronglord, Lock Stronglord.

 Chapter 236 - Happylife

    Chapter 236 - Happylife.


    ''''Ah, finally¡­'''' Zoe and Amy appeared on top of the mountain with sweatdrops trickling down their beautiful faces.


    Isaac looked towards the entrance, where beautiful women and handsome men entered the Pce through the front doors.


    Zoe and Amy quickly used napkins to wipe their sweat away and quickly fixed their makeup.


    Soon, they looked as lovely as before, but still, they didn''t have time to catch their breath and had obvious signs of fatigue on their beautiful faces.


    ''''S-Shall we go?'''' Zoe asked from Isaac, who nodded and was the first one to start walking towards the front door.


    Zoe and Amy quickly followed after him, and it didn''t take long for them to enter the front door, while two Royal Guards didn''t stop them.


    They didn''t care about most of the guests, but they slightly changed their expressions after noticing Isaac.


    Once they entered therge corridors, the nobles around them frowned at Isaac, who was wearing his camouge outfit.


    Most of the visitors at least have put some effort into looking good, but not Isaac, because he wasn''t even aware that he would be going to party!


    Isaac ignored the gazes and kept looking at the beautiful paintings and the chandeliers that were hanging from the ceiling.


    The corridors alone looked fancier than his own room, and it truly had a feeling of majesty in everything.


    On the walls, paintings of previous Kings and Queens were nailed on the wall.


    All of them had one thing inmon. It was their blond hair!


    Every King and Queen had blond hair, and it seemed to be a trademark description of the Stronglord Royal Family.


    Zoe and Amy kept whispering between each other and looked very excited.


    They weren''t the only ones.


    Most of the nobles had their hearts going on overdrive because it was their first time entering the Royal Pce, and so far, they haven''t been disappointed.


    Soon, they noticed a scene of many nobles stopping in front of the statue located at the end of the corridor.


    The statue was located in the center of a spacious room, where there were four different paths to go and a staircase that led to the second floor.


    In front of one of the paths, a simple sign was pointing to the left.


    [<- Party]


    Most of the nobles saw it but decided to admire the statue before continuing their walk.


    Zoe and Amy also stopped in front of the statue with sparkling eyes.


    Isaac also stopped after entering the spacious room and saw the statue.


    The statue was a handsome man with a bow attached to his back. His body was very athletic and attractive, making a few nearby noblewomen drool in appreciation, even though it was a simple statue.


    Statue of someone very important¡­


    Zoe leaned closer to the statue and saw a name written on it.


    ''''Apollo¡­'''' Once she finished saying the name she saw, her eyes widened in shock, ''''This is a statue of Apollo?!''''


    Amy also widened her mouth in amazement.


    Isaac took several steps forwards and stopped in front of the tall statue.


    The statue was carved beautifully, and each piece of clothing and even the statue''s fingers were absolute perfection.


    It told a lot about how much effort Emperor put into the makings of the statue.


    ''''Shall we go?'''' He asked after he was done admiring the statue.


    Zoe and Amy nodded, even though they wanted to admire the statue a little bit longer.


    While Isaac was walking past the statue, he kept looking at the eyes of Apollo''s statue, but once he blinked, the eyes trembled for a millisecond before bing normal, and Isaacpletely missed it.Want to see more chapters?


    They entered another corridor, where noblemen and noblewomen were anxiously increasing the pace.


    Large doors were wide open at the end of the corridor, and on another side of the doors was the Throne Room.


    In the throne room, hundreds of nobles were talking loudly with other nobles.


    The younger generation hung out with each other, while the older ones had their own discussions.


    Isaac looked all the way to the throne, where a handsome and powerful-looking man was sitting.


    ''Emperor¡­'' He thought to himself and watched Emperor closely. Each movement, even breathing, was done perfectly.


    Everyone in the throne room looked towards Emperor with respect and worship.


    Only because of him did they earn even more wealth than when Stronglord was only a Kingdom.


    Zoe''s and Amy''s eyes sparkled as they saw the Empire, who was like the character of Fairytale to them!


    Since they were young, they have heard tales about the great Lock Stronglord and every young noble has been trained to be even half as great as him, but it was a very difficult task.


    Zoe and Amy entered the throne room but could barely see in front of them.


    Even though the throne room wasrge enough to fit over a thousand nobles, it was still getting more crowded after each passing minute.


    Isaac arrived in the throne room shortly afterwards, and because his outfit was in the color of bright white and looked vastly different from others, he earned a lot of raised eyebrows from nearby nobles.


    No one knew who he was, but they knew that he couldn''t be normal.


    Few even recognized him as Legacy Carrier, but the rank was unknown to them.


    But they ignored him shortly afterwards, thinking that he was only Ordinary One, but if they had an opportunity, they would be trying to be friends with him.


    ''''Miss Zoe Happylife, correct?'''' Suddenly, a butler with professional attire appeared in front of two beautiful young women.


    ''''T-That''s right!'''' Zoe was surprised to be greeted by Royal Butler and tried to answer as confidently as possible.


    ''''Follow me¡ª I will take you two to your tables.'''' He said with a polite bow.


    ''''A-Ah, right.'''' Zoe turned around and saw Isaac looking around the throne room, ''''U-um, sir!''''


    ''''Yea?'''' Isaac turned his head towards her.


    ''''P-Please remember my name, Zoe Happylife, and you are always weed to visit our vige called Happylife!'''' She said with such a look that made her look very pitiful.


    She really wanted Isaac to visit them even once.


    The butler soon led them away, both of them disappearing from Isaac''s view.


    ''Happylife¡­'' Isaac thought inside his mind and printed that name in his mind.

 Chapter 237 - White Death’s Legacy Carrier

    Chapter 237 - White Death''s Legacy Carrier.


    Isaac now noticed that he was all alone.


    They were surrounded by nobles, whose status alone made them like Gods in the eyes ofmoners.


    It made Isaac very self-conscious, even though his status as Mythical Legacy Carrier puts him in a higher position, but he wasn''t aware of it.


    It didn''t help that the nearby nobles kept ncing at him and his attire like he was amoner in their eyes.


    A chill ran on his back, making Isaac very ufortable, and it made him unable to stay standing in his current spot.


    He decided to start walking around the throne room to look at what food the Royal Family was offering.


    He carefully walked past the nobles, having to dodge and weave through the crowd of people, but even that had its limits, and he bumped with someone.


    ''''Hey, watch out!'''' Isaac''s shoulder collided with an angry-looking noble that was in his 40s.


    ''''Sorry.'''' Isaac apologized, but the noble didn''t care and kept looking at him like he was trash.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Isaac shook his head and quickly left the area where the angry noble was.


    It took him longer than anticipated, but he soon arrived at arge table, where food was served.


    Isaac''s nostrils were instantly assaulted with a delicious aroma, almost making him salivate in anticipation.


    He grabbed a small te and took the first food he saw, but soon it was too crowded for him to keep picking up the food, and he decided to leave with his te, which barely had any food.


    But it was enough for him.


    Isaac looked around the throne room, trying to find any free tables, but didn''t see any.


    His shoulders slumped, and he thought that maybeing to the party was a terrible idea.


    He was all alone, surrounded by arrogant nobles.


    But then, Isaac narrowed his eyes and saw one of the tables being fairly empty, but it was surrounded by five handsome nobles for some reason.


    Isaac decided to go there to find a ce to sit and hoped that the nobles weren''t arrogant enough to stop him from sitting down.


    Once he got near the table, he knew that something wasn''t right.


    On another table that was only five meters away, a group of young women was sitting with annoyance while looking at the scene in front of them.


    The five handsome men were surrounding an innocent-looking young woman who looked frightened.


    ''''Hey, beautiful.'''' One of the nobles bowed politely and offered a flower, ''''This flower is almost as beautiful as you.''''


    ''''T-Thanks¡­'''' The young woman took the flower and lowered her head. Her body almost trembled after being in the center of the attention.


    She only wanted to sit alone, but the five nobles suddenly came to talk with her.


    She had beautiful ck hair with bright blue eyes and a dress that made her look even more lovely.


    The dress allowed everyone to see her frail-looking legs and arms because the dress only covered her petite body, and the skirt only covered her privates but left her thighs and legs wide open.


    The five nobles couldn''t help but look at the thighs and had to resist licking their lips because if the young woman saw it, the oue would be clear.


    ''''What a slut.'''' One of the young women at a nearby table said with disgust. She thought that the innocent-looking young woman was only acting innocent, trying to attract the protective instincts of handsome nobles.


    ''''Have you met with Goddess Hecate?'''' One of the young men asked from the young woman.


    ''''I-I have.'''' She replied shyly and felt even more ufortable after the young men tried to get even closer to her, almost touching her body.


    The five handsome nobles tried to look gentlemanly, but their eyes showed desperation.


    This young woman in front of them was greeted personally by the Emperor!


    The reason was simple; the young woman is a Godly Legacy Carrier!


    Marrying someone like her would make their family''s status skyrocket!


    This was their chance, and their family counted on them!


    They would do anything to be able to marry with the young woman.


    And it was only a plus that she was very beautiful.


    Why would they regret marrying someone like her?


    It would be a dreame true.


    ''''Would you like to go dancing?'''' One of the young men asked with a hopeful gaze.


    She shook her head and answered with a shaky tone, ''''N-No, I am sorry¡­''''

    But, she also rejected him, ''''No¡­ Sorry.''''


    ''''Want to go somewhere else? I want to know you better.'''' Another young man asked with a wink, with an obvious ulterior motive.


    She paled and shook her head, ''''No¡­''''


    The young women at the other table were clicking their tongues.


    ''''Her act isn''t fooling anyone.'''' They felt even more annoyed as some of their crushes asked the young woman out.


    They think that the innocent-looking young woman was only a slut, who would spread her legs for everyone.


    But, they are very far from the truth.


    The innocent-looking young woman has zero experience with the opposite sex and has only one male friend.


    They started whispering between each other, insulting the young woman, but she managed to hear every whisper.


    Tears started brimming from the corner of her eyes, and she wasn''t far away from crying her eyes out.


    She wanted toe to the party to have fun, but instead was being harassed by everyone.


    ''''Come on, let''s go somewhere else to have fun, what do you think?'''' The handsome nobles became even more forceful and were sure that they needed a little more push to get her to ept.


    Their pressure only made her feel sadder and regretful.


    Her teary eyes looked at the young men, and she opened her mouth, but no words came out.


    ''''Leave her alone.'''' But then, a sudden voice appeared behind the noblemen.


    ''''Who the fuck?'''' They looked enraged as they turned around and saw a white-haired youth looking at them.


    The young woman also noticed him and widened her eyes in shock, ''Isaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac!'' She screamed inside her mind.


    Isaac turned his head towards the young woman, who was only a second away from crying.


    ''Luna¡­'' He thought with a gentle look on his face.


    The noblemen''s scream attracted everyone''s attention; even Emperor turned his head and widened his eyes in shock after noticing the white-haired youth.


    He could clearly feel the unbelievable power inside the youth!


    Isaac did a polite bow and smirked, ''''My name is Wraith, White Death''s Legacy Carrier¡ª nice to meet you all.''''


    Once everyone heard his words.


    Silence followed.

 Chapter 238 - World ls Changing

    Chapter 238 - World ls Changing.


    Silence ensued.


    The five nobles looked shocked before one of them shouted, ''''L-Liar!''''


    ''''No, he is not.'''' Suddenly, a voice came behind him, which belonged to the Emperor!


    The five nobles paled and quickly bowed towards the Emperor.


    Lock Stronglord smiled and looked at the white-haired youth, ''''Wee, Wraith.''''


    Everyone''s jaws dropped after hearing Emperor greeting the white-haired youth, who imed to be a Legacy Carrier!


    A dozen meters away from the throne, the Crown Prince and Princess of Stronglord Empire were discussing with other nobles only a second away, but then they heard themotion and saw their father greeting another one!


    Not long ago, their Royal Father greeted a beautiful woman, who was beautiful enough to take Crown Prince''s breath away.


    Now, another Legacy Carrier appeared, but this time, it was a Mythical Legacy Carrier, which made them wonder why he was being greeted as well.


    Greeting Godly Legacy Carrier was obvious, but Mythical Legacy usually doesn''t have as much influence.


    They know that their Royal Father was a smart and sharp-sighted man. If he saw something in the white-haired youth, it must be something spectacr.


    With curiosity, they kept looking at Isaac, trying to find out the reason why he was greeted as well.


    The five nobles looked fearful and saw their fathers and family members pointing at them to fix the situation.


    ''''Greeting, your Majesty.'''' Isaac bowed respectfully.


    Lock Stronglord smiled and didn''t say anything else.


    Zoe and Amy, that were seated at a table that was only a few tables away from the table where Crown Prince and Princess were, were utterly shocked.


    ''''Did he just say White Death?'''' Zoe whispered to her childhood friend.


    Amy nodded with excitement, ''''He did!''''


    Isaac walked past the five nobles and sat down on the chair next to Luna, and put the te down on the table.


    ''''Hello.'''' He said to Luna with a smile.


    He didn''t receive a hello in return. Instead, Luna suddenly hugged him and whispered, ''''Thank you¡­''''


    Isaac smiled and patted her head.


    They soon separated, with Isaac looking as calm as before, but Luna had a slight hue of pink in her cheeks.


    ''''Hello, my name is Lucky.'''' One of the five nobles tried to fix the strained rtionship between Isaac and Luna.


    He smiled, trying to look as gentlemanly as possible, but that look made Luna timid, afraid that they would try to force her to do something she didn''t want to.


    Isaac didn''t fall for the act and asked, ''''Can you leave?''''


    The five nobles had zero intention of leaving and were desperate to fix the rtionship.


    Their families might stop funding their endeavors, which would be a huge setback for young men who like partying and buying expensive things.


    ''''Can we be friends?'''' Another noble asked, ''''I know a ce that sells the most delicious booze¡ª we could go for a drink or two?''''


    ''''No.'''' Isaac replied and turned back to Luna, ''''Night, why were you here again?''''


    He used her in-game name so that the nobles won''t find out her real name.


    Luna giggled and said, ''''Hehe, Goddess Hecate told me to go to the party. Apparently, I can make friends and get used to the people¡­''''


    If you want to read more chapters, visit pa nda-novel,c.o,m Her face turned sad as she continued, ''''I bought this dress because I thought it looked nice¡­ But then I got suddenly greeted by Emperor, and then that scene happened¡­''''


    The five nobles tried to act innocent, but sweatdrops started forming on their foreheads.


    ''''Haaahhh¡­'''' A puff of cold air left Isaac''s lungs while his lips had a hue of blue, ''''Leave.'''' He red at the nobles and didn''t like theirpany one bit.


    The five nobles looked unwilling, but then a voice came behind them.


    ''''Leave our guests alone.'''' Lock Stronglord said with his powerful voice that caused an invisible pressure to appear all around the throne room.


    Tables trembled, nobles stumbled, and the floor started shaking, but most of the pressure was aimed at the five nobles, who couldn''t keep standing and fell down on their buttocks.Want to see more chapters? Please visit pan da-novel ,c.o.m


    Their family members paled and wanted to shout at them to leave right this instant.


    Their foolish younger generation made Emperor angry, and that was one way to ruin their future once and for all.


    The five nobles quickly bowed and had to crawl away to leave the area where the pressure was aimed at.


    Once they left the area, they finally stood up and left the throne room with a tail between their legs.


    Lock Stronglord turned his head towards the nobles and smiled, ''''Alright, now that the event is over¡­''''


    *p* *p*


    He pped his hands several times and said, ''''Continue the party.''''


    The older nobles understood the signal and continued their discussions with their friends.


    After seeing their fathers, mothers, and everyone else continuing their party, the younger generation also started talking with other nobles.


    But, some of the younger generation''s discussions were about the scene they had just witnessed.


    Most of them looked at the table, where two attractive individuals were discussing, and even though they looked unimpressive, their identities are what made them special.


    A nearby table with young women stopped discussing for several minutes, but once the party continued, they once again continued insulting Luna after seeing how she acted around Isaac.


    They thought it was a mere act and believed that Luna was basically throwing herself at him.


    But, this time, Luna didn''t hear because she was talking with Isaac and only managed to listen to his words while everything else went past her ears.


    In a sky above the Royal Pce.


    A dark-haired beauty was sitting on top of a soft cloud while her smoky dress made her body look transparent and mesmerizing to look at.


    From one of the Royal Pce''s windows, she managed to see Luna and the person she was talking with.


    ''''Hehe, I said you will enjoy the party.'''' Hecate innocently giggled and raised her head to look at the moon, ''''Today will be thest day of your ordinary life¡­ Enjoy your life from now on¡­ Tomorrow, everything changes.''''


    She smiled and murmured, ''''Time¡­ Hase.''''


    ''''For the world to change.''''

 Chapter 239 - End of Party

    Chapter 239 - End of Party.


    In the throne room.


    Couples of beautiful women and handsome men were dancing under beautiful violin music.


    Old couples, younger couples, and married couples were dancing with each other in a rhythmic and beautiful manner.


    Their dancing looked mesmerizing to look at. Every movement was executed perfectly.


    Emperor Lock Stronglord kept looking at the dancing couples, but soon, a beautiful middle-aged woman with heavy makeup appeared next to the throne.


    She had beautiful blond hair that reached all the way to her thighs, with a mature-like body and wide hips.


    ''''Your majesty.'''' Empress of Stronglord Empire said with a polite bow, ''''I have a question, may I ask?''''


    ''''Go ahead.'''' Emperor Lock replied with a wave of his hand.


    ''''Why were you so respectful towards those two youths?'''' She asked while ncing at one of the tables where Luna and Isaac were talking.


    ''''You are so narrow-minded, as always.'''' He replied with a click of his tongue.


    The Empress didn''t look hurt, instead waited for the answer that had been infiltrating her mind.


    ''''They might be weak currently, but their potential is what makes them valuable.'''' He said and looked back at the Empress, ''''Do you understand?''''


    Empress nods and then looks at Isaac, ''''Well¡­ He doesn''t look that strong.''''


    ''''Because you only look at the outeryer and not the interior.'''' He said while looking at her face, which was filled with makeup.


    He feels disappointed because of theck of brain the Empress has.


    ''''He still looks weak¡­'''' Emperor murmured and left to go mingle with other nobles.


    Lock Stronglord frowned and looked towards Isaac, who was talking with Luna.


    ''He looks weak? Then why do I feel like he has an incredible power hidden inside him.''


    ''''How did you get your legacy?'''' Luna asked curiously. Her eyes sparkled after knowing that she wasn''t the only one with a legacy, and someone like Isaac got a very powerful one.If you want to read more chapters, visit pa nda-novel,c.o,m


    That made her happy after knowing that she wasn''t the only one with a legacy, which caused most of her pressure to vanish.


    Hecate has told her about the importance of legacies, which caused her to feel like she was carrying a mountain on her back.


    ''''I was part of the tournament, and the winner got a legacy.'''' Isaac replied and took a piece of the food, ''''I managed to win.''''


    ''''Wow!'''' Luna looked amazed and knew that Isaac was amazing, but that was way beyond her expectations.


    ''''By the way, how are you doing?'''' Isaac asked after swallowing the food. His question was way more serious than the previous light-hearted conversation they were having.


    ''''I had surgery, and now I feel much better!'''' Luna replied cheerfully.


    She soon continued with, ''''I might get cured soon, and I will be able to leave the hospital!''''


    ''''Ah, that''s great.'''' Isaac nodded with a smile but had a sinking feeling that curing Winter Illness isn''t so simple.


    No one has been cured yet, and the chances of Luna being the first one was¡­ Slim.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Luna giggled and then remembered, ''''I will be visiting my granddad with my mom and dad!''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac looked surprised and said, ''''I am also visiting my grandparents.''''


    ''''Hehe, what a coincidence!'''' Luna giggled and said something that had been on her mind, ''''I am not sure I can y much when I go visit¡­''''


    She sighed and continued, ''''I haven''t been able to visit granddad for a long time, and I am not sure when I be fully cured and when I can visit again, so I want to spend as much time with him as possible!''''Want to see more chapters? Please visit pan da-novel ,c.o.m


    She showed her frail arms and tried to flex her imaginary muscles.


    Isaac nodded and pushed the te away after finishing the food, ''''Yeah¡­ This is my first time visiting my grandparents, and I am unsure how I should act around them, especially because I don''t know anything about them.''''


    ''''I am sure it will be fine!'''' Luna replied with confidence, ''''I met two nice old people not long ago, and they seemed excited to meet their own grandson, whom they haven''t met for a long time. I am sure it is the same with your grandparents!''''


    Isaac leaned on the chair and smiled, ''''Yeah, maybe you are right.''''


    ''''Hehe, of course!''''


    After the pleasurable conversation, Isaac remembered that he nned to y only for several hours, before going to sleep.


    ''''Interface¡­'''' He murmured and took a look at the clock that was nearing 9 P.M.


    ''''Are you nning to stay at the party?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Are you leaving?'''' Luna asked and saw Isaac nodding.


    ''''Then I will leave as well!'''' She stood up, and Isaac could finally have a full view of her beautiful dress that made her look very lovely.


    Isaac nodded and offered his hand.


    Luna blushed and looked at the hand for several seconds before grabbing it firmly.


    They soon left the throne room, and many noticed it but didn''t go after them in fear of bothering them.


    This time, their walk in the corridors was way slower.


    Once they reached the room with a statue on it, they circled around it and entered another corridor, which led to the pce''s exit.


    ''''Mmm¡­'''' Luna hummed gently while looking at the paintings on the walls.


    Soon, they left the pce and saw the long stairway in the distance.


    ''''Not again¡­'''' She pouted and remembered the feet pain she received.


    ''''Maybe you should take your shoes off.'''' Isaac gave an idea.


    He saw the shoes Luna was wearing, and they didn''t look veryfortable.


    ''''Good idea!'''' She replied and crouched to take the shoes away.


    Once her shoes were off, she threw them inside her Inventory and felt much more refreshed.


    She fidgeted her soft-looking toes and smiled cheerfully, ''''Much better. My feet were hurting so much.''''


    ''''Difficulties of being a woman, I guess,'''' Isaac replied with a chuckle and offered his hand again.


    This time, Luna grabbed it without a second thought and replied, ''''Indeed. Hecate gave me suggestions about what I should wear, but everything she suggested hurts to wear.''''


    She rubbed her sides and said, ''''Especially the bras. They are so tight!''''


    ''''Ahem¡­'''' Isaac coughed awkwardly and wryly smiled, ''''Right¡­''''


    Luna pouted and said, ''''In the hospital, I don''t have to wear them because they usually irritate my skin.''''


    Isaac rubbed his forehead and wryly smiled, ''''Ahem, right, sounds tough.''''


    Luna giggled and started dragging Isaac behind as they walked down the long stone stairs, ''''Heh, it is!''''


    Isaac shook his head and followed after the cheerful girl.

 Chapter 240 - Sleepover...?

    Chapter 240 - Sleepover...?


    Isaac and Luna reached the neighborhood''s gates, where two Guards were standing.


    They narrowed their eyes, but they recognized the white-haired youth and finally rxed.


    ''''Where are you nning to go?'''' Isaac asked from Luna. The sky had already be dark, even though the shing of lights still made the surroundings somewhat bright.


    ''''I rented a room in the inn,'''' Luna replied with a smile and was saddened that she had to part ways with Isaac.


    ''''How far is it?'''' Isaac curiously asked.


    ''''It is close to the slum area,'''' Luna replied and thought that it wasn''t the best possible location, but every other ce was taken, and she couldn''t afford anything expensive.


    ''''You can stay a night where I have rented a room.'''' Isaac suggested, ''''It''s getting dark, and you should either log out now ore with me.''''


    ''''Why?'''' Luna tilted her head and felt happy that he asked her toe, but she wondered why she couldn''t return to her room.


    ''''Well.'''' Isaac looked at her, and she looked very vulnerable and beautiful, ''''It''s not necessarily safe, even though you can always log out.''''


    Luna tapped her chin and giggled, ''''Hehe, thanks!''''


    Isaac smiled and looked at the Guards, who nodded at him.


    He nodded back and entered the neighborhood with Luna.


    Luna curiously looked at the neighborhood and looked amazed, ''''Wooow, this ce looks amazing.''''


    ''''Do you want to move here?'''' Isaac asked, ''''Be has rented rooms avable.''''


    Luna wanted to say yes, but then she remembered, ''''I don''t have any money¡­'''' Her shoulders slumped, and she felt like she had missed an opportunity to be with Isaac more, but she hadn''t had time to earn money like Isaac.


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac himself doesn''t have money problems, but he doubts that Luna would want to cling to him and wants to survive by herself.


    ''''I understand, but when you have enough money, you can talk to me, and I can ask from Be if there are rented rooms avable,'''' Isaac said and soon came to a stop after reaching the house.


    Luna smiled and nodded, ''''Yup!''''


    Isaac took the key from the Inventory and opened the door.


    After the door was opened, he saw shoes in the shoe rack, meaning that Be had returned.


    He was the first one to enter the house, and he took off his shoes before going to the living room.


    Luna entered the house and was about to take her shoes, but then she remembered that she wasn''t wearing any shoes.


    ''''Hehe, silly me.'''' She giggled and fidgeted with her toes, which were slightly dirtied from walking without shoes.


    ''''Ah, you have returned.'''' Be closed the cooking book and watched as Isaac entered the living room.


    ''''Yes, I have a favor to ask.''''


    Be listened closely, but then she saw a beautiful young woman entering the house.


    Her beautiful dress shone underneath the light, making her look gorgeous with her smooth skin and innocent look.


    ''''Who..?'''' Be looked at Isaac with confusion.


    ''''Can Luna stay here for tonight?'''' He asked with a praying gesture, ''''She has nowhere else to go currently.''''


    ''''U-umm¡­'''' Be looked shocked and had a misunderstanding, ''He is bringing girls?! I-I have misunderstood himpletely¡­ W-What a yboy!''


    ''''Hey, my name is Luna!'''' Luna hopped next to Isaac and said with a cheerful look.


    Be''s face turned gentle as she saw the innocent young woman, ''''A-Alright¡­ I-I will bring another mattress to your room.'''' She shakily stood up and was about to go to upstairs.Do you want to read more chapters? Come to p a n d a - n ovel,c.o.m


    Luna blushed and thought, ''I will sleep in his room..? Hehe, sleepover.''


    ''''Ah, no.'''' Isaac waved his hand and asked, ''''Are there rooms avable for her?''''


    ''''O-Oh.'''' Be blushed after understanding that she had a slight misunderstanding, ''''Yes, there is!''''


    Luna smiled innocently while feeling slightly disappointed after not being able to have a sleepover.


    ''''I will go clean her room.'''' Be rushed upstairs with heated cheeks.


    After five minutes, she returned with a brush and an exhausted face.


    She saw Luna sitting on a sofa while cleaning her dirty toes.


    Isaac was sitting on another sofa, reading the cooking book.


    ''''Your room is ready,'''' Be said and saw Luna jumping on her feet with a cheerful look.


    ''''Yay!'''' She hopped next to Be and surprisingly hugged her.


    ''''U-Umm¡­'''' Be froze over while feeling Luna''s soft body hugging her out of nowhere.


    Luna smiled and said, ''''Thanks!'''' She stopped hugging and hopped towards the second floor.


    Isaac closed the book and stood up, ''''Thanks, I owe you one.'''' He walked past her and rushed towards the second floor.


    ''''N-No problem!'''' Be shouted after them and grabbed the cooking book from the sofa. She continued reading with a determined look to be the world''s greatest chef.


    On the third floor.


    Luna stopped in front of a room with number 4.


    Isaac appeared from the stairs and stopped next to her.


    Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m ''''Where is your room?'''' Luna asked and saw Isaac pointing at the room that was right next to hers but had the number 5 on the door.


    ''''Hehe, we are neighbors.'''' She puffed her chest and smiled while looking around the hallway.


    It was worlds apart from the inn she was living in. It was dirty, with cracked walls and broken floors.


    Her room smelled like someone died there and she barely spends any time there; instead, she usually stores her stuff there and logs out.


    She felt very warm and secure while standing in the hallway, where the floors and walls were sturdy and beautiful.


    ''''I am going to go log out now¡ª see you tomorrow?'''' Isaac opened the door and then noticed Luna sighing deeply.


    ''''I will travel to my granddad''s ce tomorrow.'''' Luna sadly smiled and continued, ''''I don''t think I cane online for several days.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac looked slightly sad at the fact, but then he remembered her condition and stuff she had to do in the real world.


    ''''Well, take care of yourself.'''' Isaac patted her head and ruffled her hair before entering the room.


    Luna touched her hair and couldn''t keep a straight face after her mouth curved into a smile, ''''Thanks¡­''''


    She took a deep breath and entered her room, which was quite identical to Isaac''s room, but it was a room that made her emotional.


    It was much different from the hospital room and the dirty inn room.


    It wasn''t a very fancy room, but it was something that made her happy.


    ''''Soft!'''' She hopped into her bedroom and jumped on the bed with a soft mattress.

 Chapter 241 - Attic

    Chapter 241 - Attic.


    In the real world.


    Isaac slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar sight of the visor covering his vision.


    He moved his right arm and tapped the button on the side of the headgear.


    Instantly, the blue skinsuit was sucked inside the headgear.


    When he was moving his limbs, he felt much more refreshed than before.


    ''''Ah¡­'''' He sat up and moved his head around, trying to feel his neck muscles and previous ces which usually ached after wearing Bronze VR Helmet, but he didn''t feel any of that pain anymore.


    He took off the headgear and stuffed it inside the ck box, which he hid inside the wardrobe.


    Once he closed the doors of the wardrobe, he remembered where he was currently.


    The spacious room around him looked way toorge for someone like him.


    It was like he was living in a house all by himself.


    ''''Well¡­ At least it''s peaceful.'''' Isaac thought aloud while looking around the room.


    Back in Snowstar, he could rarely spend time alone, but here, he has all the time in the world.


    He walked to the wooden door that was made of the finest wood avable.


    Looking at the door in front of him, he could already feel its luxuriousness and how expensive it was.


    He touched the metallic door handle and slowly opened the door.


    In front of him, the fancy corridor became visible; the walls were in the color of a reddish hue, and a long carpet on the floor reached from the other end of the corridor to another end.


    He left the room and walked straight towards the stairway, but then¡­


    *Bam*


    His footsteps came to a halt as he heard something above him.


    He raised his head and saw the ceiling, ''''What was that noise?''''


    He heard something from the fourth floor and debated whether he should go check it out, but the noise returned again.


    *Bam*


    He thought he heard someone hitting a window.


    Isaac frowned, and instead of going downstairs, he went to the upstairs, towards the fourth floor.


    Once he reached the fourth floor, he looked around him but saw all the doors being closed.


    But then, he remembered where Malcolm''s office was located, and he nned to go there first, but then the sound returned.


    *Bam*


    Isaac once again raised his head and was sure that the sound didn''te from the fourth floor, instead from the attic!


    Do you want to read more chapters? Come to p a n d a - n ovel,c.o.m ''''Weird¡­'''' He looked around the corridor, trying to find a way to the attic, and soon he found another staircase, which was much smaller than the stairs which led to the other floors.


    Isaac walked down the long corridors, with paintings and different kinds of vases next to the walls.


    Once he reached the staircase, which was made from wood, he saw a wooden door at the top, which seemed to be leading to the attic.


    *Creak*


    His first step caused an obvious sound of the floor creaking.


    The staircase looked very old and something that hadn''t been used for decades.


    He wasn''t entirely sure whether it could hold his weight, but he pushed his luck and quickly rushed to the wooden door, leaving a sound trail behind.


    Once he reached the wooden door, he touched the doorknob and twisted it, which was rather tricky because it felt like he was trying to open a tightly shut soda bottle.


    *Creak*


    Barely, the door opened, and Isaac managed to enter the attic.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac covered his nose and smelled the scent of dust in the air.


    Once he opened his eyes, he saw a dusty attic with boxes littering the ground.


    Some of the boxes were open, which showed old clothes and paintings with frames that seemed worn out.


    Theyer of dust was so thick that Isaac couldn''t even see the color of the boxes.


    ''''Ugh¡­'''' He turned around and was about to leave the attic, but the noise returned.


    *Bam*


    This time, it was much louder.


    Isaac turned around, and on the other side of the attic, a window was located.


    He decided to go find out what the reason was for the sound.


    He quickly walked past the dusty boxes and reached the window that was tightly shut.


    Isaac used his sleeve and wiped out the dust from the window frame so it was easier to open it.


    Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m The window was locked tight, but there was a key already in the keyhole, which allowed Isaac to open the window fairly easily.


    He twisted the key and watched how the window slowly opened.


    The cold wind brushed past his face and sent the dust flying.


    The attic instantly became very dusty, and the visibility became very poor.


    Isaac leaned closer and looked outside the window, wondering where the noise came from, but then¡­


    *BAM!*


    Something quick crashed onto his face, which made him fall down on his buttocks.


    ''''Oww!'''' He cried out in pain and had to rub his aching head, which crashed onto the box that was right behind him.


    ''''What was that¡­'''' Isaac slowly opened his eyes and could barely see in front of him, but when he turned around, he came face-to-face with a snowy owl!


    The snowy owl''s round eyes were gazing at Isaac''s beautiful gray eyes.


    ''''What the¡­'''' Isaac quickly retreated but crashed into the wall that was right behind him, which earned another cry of pain from him.


    ''''Oww¡­'''' He rubbed his back while slowly opening his eyes and saw the snowy owl pecking at his feet.


    ''''Weird¡­ Am I lucky or unlucky to meet two snowy owls in a span of 24 hours?'''' Isaac''s pain soon subdued, and he could finally concentrate on the beautiful snowy owl.


    The snowy owl stopped moving and stood like a statue.


    Isaac stretched his hand forwards and touched the soft fur, and surprisingly, the snowy owl allowed it.


    ''''Wait¡­'''' Isaac frowned and looked at the snowy owl''s feathers.


    He barely remembered it, but the snow owl he met at the Snowstar had weird blue feathers, which was quite an umon trait.


    But, the snowy owl that crashed onto him had exactly simr blue feathers, with precisely at the same spots!


    ''''Are you¡­ The one from Snowstar?'''' Isaac asked with a surprise, he didn''t except for an answer, but he got one!


    The snowy owl surprisingly started nodding.

    Chapter 242 - Day of the Update.


    ''''Little fellow, did you follow me?'''' Isaac asked while touching the snowy owl''s soft feathers.


    The snowy owl nodded.


    ''''Why?'''' He asked curiously.


    The snowy owl froze and didn''t answer.


    Isaac grabbed the snowy owl from the sides and carried it to the window frame.


    The snowy owl''s two talons touched the window frame, making two marks on the snow that was gathered on the bottom of the window frame.


    Isaac rested his chin on his palm and silently looked at the snowy owl that seemed very mysterious in his eyes.


    The snowy owl suddenly moved its head, making it stretch at a very ufortable angle, at least ording to Isaac.


    The snowy owl looked at the dark night and suddenly started pping its wings before jumping out of the window and starting to fly away.


    Isaac couldn''t hear the sound of wings pping and saw how the snowy owl had already disappeared into the distance.


    ''That was definitely strangest conversation I ever had¡­'' Isaac closed the window with those thoughts.


    After finding out the reason for the sudden noise, he left the attic.


    Ayer of dust started gathering on top of his soft hair and shoulders.


    *Pat*


    He used his right hand and patted the dust away.


    Soon, he reached the wooden door and opened it without dying his stay any longer.


    The sound of floor creaking echoed in the silent corridors, and Isaac hurried down the stairs before he fell through them.


    After reaching the bottom of the stairs, he cleaned the rest of the dust.


    ''''Isaac?'''' Suddenly, a voice came from the stairs.


    Isaac turned his head and saw an attractive elderly woman standing on the stairs with a pink nightgown covering her body.


    ''''What were you doing there?'''' Madison asked while peeking towards the attic, ''''It must be very dusty there.''''


    ''''Ah¡­'''' Isaac just decided to tell the truth, ''''I heard some noisesing from there, nothing else.''''


    ''''I see.'''' Madison nodded, ''''Must be the walls creaking. This mansion is one of the oldest ones after all.''''


    Isaac turned around to look at the wooden staircase, which barely stayed intact.


    ''''Malcolm and I are going to go to sleep. Do you need anything?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''No, thank you.''''


    Do you want to read more chapters? Come to p a n d a - n ovel,c.o.m ''''Alright.'''' Madison smiled and went to the nearby door, but before entering the room, she looked at Isaac and said, ''''There is food in the fridge if you feel hungry.''''


    Isaac nodded and watched as she entered the room.


    After she left, Isaac also returned to his room.


    He grabbed his phone from the charger and lied down on the bed.


    Once he opened the screen, he noticed several messages from his family and News Station.


    But, he also noticed a message from Amanda.


    [Amanda: Good night!]


    Isaac quickly replied with good night and checked his family''s messages, but they mostly asked how the meeting with his grandparents went.


    He replied with simr messages, and once he finished writing them, he sent the messages and closed the phone.


    He didn''t even bother replying to the messagesing from News Stations.


    ''''Yaawn¡­'''' A long yawn escaped his mouth, and his eyelids started getting heavier with each passing second.


    He quickly put his phone back on the floor and covered his body with the nket.


    It didn''t take long for him to enter deep slumber.


    ¡­


    Next Morning.


    Isaac was already awake with new pair of clothes.


    Not long ago, from the window, he saw his grandparents leaving to visit theirpany.


    Isaac was now alone with only the servants, but he didn''t mind because he decided to do his mourning routines and go back to White Online.Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m


    Today will be quite an exciting day after all.


    ''''Today is the update¡­'''' Isaac murmured and felt very excited.


    He wants some buff for Marksman ss, but he also believes it wasn''t necessary.


    The forums have been heating up ever since the News about the Update was leaked.


    Arthur made an announcement, which said that a world-changing update would happen on Friday!


    White Online yers begged for buffs for their beloved sses, and the loudest ones were Marksmen yers.


    But, they noticed that one of the leading figures of Marksman yers, Wraith, was quiet, without saying a word about the update.


    It brought a heated discussion.


    Some said that he has secret knowledge about the next update.


    Some said that he doesn''t need a buff to be a Pro yer, etc.


    Isaac simply didn''t want to partake in that conversation because it had no use.


    He nced at the clock and saw it being 9 A.M.


    He also looked at the News about the update when he woke up, but nothing was said, which means it hasn''t arrived yet.


    ''''The update will probably have 1-hour downtime¡­'''' Isaac thought it would be quite simr to thest update, but he had no idea that the new update would make the previous update look like a joke.


    But, he still decided to go visit White Online once before the update, but only after he had done his morning routines.


    He left his room and quickly ran to downstairs.


    The downstairs was empty, with no signs of servants or Sebastian.


    Isaac decided to use this time to look around the mansion and maybe find a gym.


    He already knew how the kitchen, living room, and the dining room looked, which made his destination decided already.


    He walked past the stairs and walked down the hall, where another open space was located.


    The room was surrounded by windows that allowed Isaac to see outside the mansion.


    From the windows, he could see the beautiful backyard, with servants cleaning the yard.


    They noticed Isaac appearing and politely bowed.


    Isaac nodded at them and walked past the windowed room and entered another room, which was something he was looking for.


    A gym!


    In the gym, he saw one person running on the treadmill.


    Sebastian''s face was drenched in sweat, while his athletic body kept running without stopping.


    Looking at his masculine figure, Isaac again went self-conscious while looking at his somewhat skinny body but felt slightly happy that some signs of changes had appeared.


    ''One day¡­'' Isaac''s eyes looked firm, and without further ado, he started running on a treadmill, which caused enough noise to attract Sebastian''s attention.


    Sebastian turned around and was surprised to see Isaac and finally saw his body stature.


    It wasn''t anything special, but what caught his attention was the way Isaac''s body moved.


    ''He is running¡­ Perfectly.'' Sebastian frowned, and the mystery of Isaac deepened in his mind.

 Chapter 243 - White Online’s Update!

    Chapter 243 - White Online''s Update!


    ''''Haahhh¡­ Haaahhh¡­'''' Isaac''s face was drooping with tiny beads of sweat trickling down his face.


    ''''Here.'''' Sebastian stopped in front of him and offered a water bottle.


    ''''T-Thanks¡­'''' Isaac took it with gratitude, and once he took off the cap, he started gulping down the cold water.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' He wiped his lips and looked much more refreshed.


    ''''How long have you been exercising?'''' Sebastian asked while still remembering the previous scene and was sure that it was impossible to achieve in a year, but seeing Isaac''s somewhat skinny body, he felt curious.


    ''''6 to 7 years, I guess,'''' Isaac replied and took another sip of the water.


    ''''What?!'''' Sebastian widened his eyes in shock. He didn''t expect that kind of answer.


    Isaac wryly smiled and said, ''''Yeah¡­ I know.''''


    ''''How?'''' Sebastian was truly curious how Isaac''s body still looked like that!


    He shrugged and replied, ''''No idea.''''


    ''''Have you visited a hospital?'''' Sebastian asked with concern, ''''That can''t be normal.''''


    ''''I did¡­'''' Isaac sighed, ''''Not long ago, I visited Snowstar''s hospital, but everything showed that my body was in perfect health.''''


    Sebastian looked conflicted and saw Isaac''s thirst for strength, but it was like he was cursed.


    ''''Well, I will get muscles one day!'''' Isaac replies with certainty, ''''My body has started to change, and it is only a matter of time before I look like you!''''


    Sebastian chuckled, which dispelled the severe atmosphere, ''''You would be a properdykiller if you got muscles and a little more height.''''


    Isaac wryly smiled and lowered the water bottle, ''''I am not like that.''''


    ''''You are indeed different from other noble youths.'''' Sebastian had to admit that Isaac was a very likable young man, way different from other youths he had met.


    ''''How so?'''' Isaac asked curiously.


    Sebastian shook his head, ''''I shouldn''t be saying this¡­'''' He opened his right eye and saw Isaac zipping his lips, showing that he won''t tell anyone.


    ''''They all are arrogant and horny.'''' He said without sugarcoating it.


    ''''Really?'''' Isaac sighed, ''''I hope I don''t meet any of them.''''


    ''''Haha.'''' Sebastian suddenlyughed and said, ''''Well, I would like you to meet them.''''


    ''''Why?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''They would see that being noble doesn''t mean to be a douche.'''' Sebastian started walking towards the exit of the gym, but before that, he said farewells, ''''Good luck, I hope you achieve what you wish for.''''


    ''''Thanks,'''' Isaac said and gulped the water down.


    His mourning routines have been finished, but he has to do something else before entering White Online.


    Looking at his sweat clothes, he felt very ufortable and decided to go take a shower.


    Soon, he reached his room and went straight to the bathroom.


    The bathroom was as luxurious as he expected.


    The bathtub could fit three of him, and for some reason, it was in the color of gold with a silver lining on the sides.


    Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m The bathroom alone wasrger than some rooms in ordinary households, and Isaac felt slightly dizzy because the sheer length of the bathroom.


    He took off his clothes and looked at himself in the mirror for several seconds.


    His body was still at the height of 175cm, but his body stature wasn''t something he wanted.


    ''''One day¡­'''' Isaac turned on the shower and showered for ten minutes.


    Once he was done, he cleaned his body, and with only a towel covering his privates, he went to the wardrobe to take new clothes.


    Once he was done dressing up, he also took the ck-colored box from the wardrobe and put it down on the floor.


    He grabbed the VR Helmet and went to bed to lie down.


    Once the headgear was surrounding his head, he pressed the button, and the visor started beeping again.


    Instantly, the skinsuit covered his body, which was in the color of blue with snowkes.

    ¡­


    The sky above Stronglord had be brighter, with the Royal Mountain finally calmed down.


    NPCs and yers started their ordinary daily routines, and the nobles had returned from the mountains to continue their lives.


    But, none of them had any idea that everything would change today.


    In a simple-looking room.


    A white-haired youth slowly opened his eyes, and mesmerizing gray eyes became visible.


    Do you want to read more chapters? Come to p a n d a - n ovel,c.o.m


    Isaac slowly sat up and scratched his somewhat messy hair.


    From the window, he could hear the sound of birds chirping and the sound ofughter.


    The neighborhood was wide awake.


    Isaac stood up from the bed, and once he walked past the window, he noticed a window being open in the neighbor''s building.


    From the window, he could see a middle-aged man ying with a baby while a pregnant-looking woman was resting on a sofa, looking at the scene with a tender smile.


    Isaac stayed silent and walked past the window.


    He left his rented room, and once he passed room number 4, he kept looking at the door and perked up his ears if he could hear anything from inside, but he couldn''t.


    He continued walking and soon reached the bottom floor.


    Once again, it was empty, with Be nowhere to be seen.


    The shoes had disappeared, but in front of the door, a footprint made of dirt was somewhat visible.


    Isaac has to admit that the footprint was quite tiny and fragile-looking.


    ''''Now¡­ It''s time to wait.'''' He went to the living room and slumped down on the soft sofa.


    He didn''t n to go anywhere else and only wanted to enjoy the fresh air of White Online before the Update appeared.


    He didn''t have to wait long.


    Every yer suddenly stopped walking, and half of the poption of Stronglord suddenly came to a stop.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Game Update in 10 minutes!]


    [9:59...]


    [9:58...]


    ''''It''s time¡­'''' Isaac sat up with his back straight.


    The time kept ticking down so slowly in the eyes of Isaac, and a minute felt like an eternity.


    [4:59¡­]


    Once it reached the five-minute mark, Isaac was already feeling very impatient but tried to calm himself down and only kept looking at the holographic screen with concentrated eyes.


    [0:01¡­]


    [0:00¡­]


    After the clock reached zero, everything became dark.

 Chapter 244 - Revolutionary’s Theory

    Chapter 244 - Revolutionary''s Theory.


    [0:00¡­]


    [Game Update Commences!]


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac''s eyelids slowly opened, and he saw a scene that he was not expecting to see.


    In front of him, the scene of a starry sky and dark space became visible.


    He slowly stood up and looked around him.


    In the distance, he noticed two floating spheres.


    The first one was a sphere-like item in the color of gray, and it didn''t take him even a second to recognize what it was.


    ''Moon¡­'' Isaac turned towards the other floating sphere and didn''t recognize it.


    The sphere was surrounded by a heavyyer of cloud, which made seeing the''s surface very difficult.


    But, from theyers of clouds, tall buildings peeked through them and reached the exosphere.


    ''''Is that¡­'''' Isaac widened his eyes in shock and felt his mind blown, ''''World of White¡­''''


    The floating sphere looked vastly different from the World of Four Seasons.


    Theyer of clouds was so thick that it made seeing the world itself impossible, which frustrated Isaac.


    *SWOOSH*


    Suddenly, a far way in the distance, a bright light appeared that suddenly started changing.


    The bright white ball changed shapes and became square, with rows of texts appearing.


    ''''White Holographic Screen?'''' A frown appeared on his face.


    He has only seen blue, green, and red holographic screens, but now a white screen appeared out of nowhere.


    Isaac took the first step but felt like his foot didn''t touch anything.


    While moving in the space, his body felt light, almost nonexistent.


    For many, they would be too afraid to move after seeing the darkness around them.


    It felt like Isaac was alone in the world.


    But, he felt surprisingly familiar with the current feeling.


    Isaac''s feet started moving faster and faster until he was running towards the holographic screen!


    It looked like he was running on top of an invisible road, but when his feet separated from the hidden road, he started floating and traveled a hundred meters in almost an instant.


    With this way of travel, he reached the holographic screen in almost record time.


    The white holographic screen showed a clock that was slowly ticking down.


    [56:47¡­]


    [56:46¡­]


    It was the clock of the downtime.


    Isaac touched the holographic screen, and he felt like he was touching a cold window.


    Once his hand touched the holographic screen, the clock disappeared, and rows of texts appeared.


    [Update Log]


    [Downtime]


    [Log Out]


    Isaac widened his eyes and tried to press [Update Log]


    But, a dinging noise appeared.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [Unavable!]


    ''''Ah, shame.'''' Isaac thought it would be only avable once downtime was over.


    Next, he pressed [Downtime], and the familiar clock appeared.


    [55:57...]


    After seeing that 56 minutes remained till the downtime was over, he decided to check out the forums, which must be exploding in heated discussions.


    His delicate finger touched the [Log Out], and soon, his body disappeared from the World of White alongside the white holographic screen.


    ¡­


    In the real world.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac took a deep breath after he forgot to breathe properly in the dark space.


    It was a natural reaction of a Human; after all, everyone knows that breathing in space is impossible.


    He kept taking short breaths, but subconsciously he tried to breathe as less as possible, but after finally returning to the real world, his body was already reacting to it.


    After his red face changed shades and his previous skin color returned, he took off the VR Helmet and stuffed it inside the ck box but didn''t put it back in the wardrobe.


    Instead, he left the bed and went to the beautiful wooden desk, where hisptop was already showing the loading screen.


    *Creak*


    He pulled his chair from below the desk and sat on it.


    *Crack*


    With a simple crack of the knuckles, he started using the mouse and keyboard to type the website address in the search bar.


    He went straight to the forums, and it didn''te as a surprise that the forums were bustling.


    When Isaac tried to click one of the forum posts, theptop froze, caused by the heavy traffic on the forums.


    Isaac impatiently tapped his foot on the carpet and waited for the post to load.


    It took him nearly a minute for it to finish loading.


    Hisptop was brand new and one of the best in the market, but even with such a goodptop that could run heavy graphic games, it still took him a long time.


    He can only guess how long it will take with others who have a cheaper and less effectiveptop.


    ''''Let''s see¡­'''' Isaac thought that the forum post seemed interesting, and it was tagged as [Theory]


    For some reason, it had a [Hot] tag, meaning that it was one of the most popr ones in the past 24 hours.


    But, seeing that the post was published only 10 minutes ago shocked Isaac!


    The post was made by a yer named Revolutionary.


    ''''Why is this so popr?'''' Isaac frowned and started scrolling down. The forum post was even more popr than his Stream Clip post, which was already a post that made him rtively famous.


    ''''Maybe this Revolutionary is a popr streamer.'''' Isaac had his own theories but nned to focus on the theory for now.


    Soon, the written text became visible, and the first row of words already made Isaac curious.


    ''''Theory of White Online¡­'''' He pondered for a second before continuing reading, ''''Today''s update will change everything, but I won''t be talking about that for now¡ª instead, something that has been my concern for a long time.''''


    ''''First of all, I have closely monitored the movements of Top Companies worldwide, and every one of them had one thing inmon¡­ They all started investing in White Online before the Game trailer was even published!''''


    Isaac widened his eyes, ''My father only invested after the game was published¡­ But he was talking about the Top Companies¡­ I need to read further.''


    ''''It wasn''t that strange because maybe Arthur showed them the trailer earlier and managed to get them to sponsor his Company after they noticed the game''s sheer potential.''''


    Isaac nodded and thought it seemed a valid theory.


    ''''But, then I noticed something shocking.''''


    Isaac frowned, and when he saw the following rows of texts, he was in disbelief.


    ''''Every President of Top Companies suddenly traveled to the moon!''''


    ''''It happened before the Top Companies started investing in Legacy Company, and for some reason, they all traveled at the same time!''''


    ''''It''s not strange for rich men to visit the moon once in their lifetime¡ª they can afford it after all, but it was strange that they all went at the same time, and I dug even deeper¡­ Arthur was also missing during that time!''''


    ''''Did he go with them to the moon, and for what purpose? Is there something hidden inside the moon, or is it something else!''''


    To many, it would sound like a conspiracy theory, but Isaac has learned the connection between World of White and Four Seasons.


    ''''This Revolutionary¡­ Is close to finding something out.''''

 Chapter 245 - Downtime

    Chapter 245 - Downtime.


    Isaac finished reading and kept thinking about Revolutionary''s identity.


    His identity can''t be someone simple.


    ''''Well¡­ It''s only a theory for now.'''' Isaac scrolled down and reached thement section.


    He thought that most of thements would be saying how far-fetched the theory was, but he saw something unexpected.


    Conspiracy Theorists had appeared.


    All thements were about their own theories, and many were so wild that Isaacughed.


    ''''Haha, what the hell¡­'''' Isaac, with amusement, started reading the theories, ''''They are building a weapon on the moon with the help of White Online''s Artificial Intelligence to rule the world with an iron fist.''''


    He chuckled and saw anotherment, ''''There is a secret base on the moon, where aliens are held captive.''''


    Isaac shook his head with a smile and saw even crazier theories.


    He decided that it was enough of theories for now and closed theptop.


    He left his temporary room and walked all the way to the living room.


    From the windows, he saw servants talking with each other while cleaning the yards.


    Once he reached the living room, he saw the soft bed that looked brand new andpletely untouched.


    At first, he was about to act like he was in Snowstar, but he remembered that he was currently a guest and didn''t want to make a mess.


    He went to the dining room and grabbed a wooden chair.


    He carried it all the way to the living room and put it down next to the sofa.


    ''''TV Remote¡­'''' Isaac looked around the living room and soon saw an item that had the shape of a remote with dozens of buttons.


    It was right next to therge TV that covered most of the table.


    Isaac grabbed the TV remote and sat down on the wooden chair.


    It was the same chair he used yesterday for dining, and back then, it felt surprisingly pleasant to sit at, and it wasn''t any different now.


    *Tap*


    Isaac pressed the start button, and instantly the TV turned on.


    On TV, News was being broadcasted, and the discussion was about the new update.


    In front of a curved table, two professional-looking men were discussing with each other.


    The first one had tidy ck hair with sses covering his eyes and a two-piece suit with a ck-colored tie.


    At the bottom of the TV screen, his name was revealed to the viewers.


    [Quinn Crackful]


    The second one also had a simr hairstyle, but instead of having sses, he had sunsses thatpletely covered his eyes.


    His mouth was curved into a slight smirk like he was above everyone else in the room.


    [Mike Holhelm]


    Mike, the arrogant-looking man, snorted and wiped his strands of hair to the side, ''''As I said. I think Arthur is using a pathetic attempt to increase the yer count.''''


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Quinn frowned and leaned on the chair, ''''Isn''t that quite a grave usation?''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Mike snorted and mmed the table with the side of his fist, ''''I know you all think that Arthur is a god of some sort, but he is a human, a fraud!''''


    ''''Can you borate?'''' Quinn frowned and nced towards the right, where his superiors were watching.


    He kept wondering why they invited someone like Mike, who has his head in the clouds.


    Mike waved his hand and smirked, ''''Arthur must have noticed that the VR Helmets aren''t selling as much as he expected. That''s why he is trying everything in his power to hype up the new update.''''


    ''''So, you are saying that he is lying.''''


    Mike nodded, ''''I think the new update is only for bug fixes and maybe a couple of new areas to discover, nothing big.''''


    ''''Well¡­'''' Quinn looked at his superiors, who were motioning to end the interview.


    ''''That was quite of an interesting theory. Thank you for your time.'''' Quinn put his hand forwards for a handshake.


    ''''Hmph, you guys will see.'''' Mike pped the hand away and stood up rudely, ''''Fools, be prepared for disappointment.'''' He left without turning back.


    ''''Ahem¡­'''' Quinn quickly regained his senses and turned to look at the camera, ''''I have received news that it is only thirty minutes left in the downtime!''''


    The screen changed, and the familiar sight of the downtime clock appeared on the screen.


    [29:57¡­]


    [29:56¡­]


    Isaac frowned at the things he heard, ''''VR Helmets not selling? Who was that idiot?''''


    Only yesterday, news came out that said over five billion VR Helmets had been sold!


    That was an astronomical sum of money that rarely anyone has the pleasure of seeing in their lifetime.


    And Arthur earned it only in a week!


    *ck*


    Isaac closed the TV and carried the wooden chair back to the dining room.


    After he left the living room, he managed to take only an one step on the stairs before the front door was opened.


    Isaac turned his head and saw an attractive old woman entering the mansion.


    Her hair was slightly turning from brown to gray, and she had slight wrinkles in the corner of her eyes.


    ''''Oh?'''' La came to a stop and widened her eyes in shock after noticing a white-haired youth on the stairs, ''''Honey, who may you be?''''


    ''''My name is Isaac,'''' Isaac replied but was much more questions about the olddy''s identity.


    The servants allowed her to enter, which meant she wasn''t trespassing.


    ''Maybe she is my grandmother''s friend?'' He thought.


    ''''Oh.'''' La covered her mouth in shock after hearing his voice, ''''My eyes must have gone worse¡­ I swear I thought you were a girl. Apologies.''''


    ''''Who are you?'''' Isaac asked, not really minding about her mistaking his genderpletely.


    ''''My name is La Bluesky¡­ Is Madison home?'''' She asked while a gentle look found its way on her face.


    ''''No, she went to her and grandfather''s Company to visit.''''


    ''''Ah, I see¡­'''' La frowned, ''Today..? They usually only visit on Thursday, but why did they go today¡­''


    Her frown disappeared, and she gently smiled, ''''Ah, I see¡­ Well, I will be off then¡­''''


    When she reached the door, she looked at Isaac one more time and said, ''''It was nice to meet you, and I am sure your presence will bring a storm to Brightstar¡­''''


    She left after those words, leaving confused Isaac alone.

 Chapter 246 - Malcolm & Madison Company

    Chapter 246 - Malcolm & Madison Company.


    In the center of the Layer of Nobility.


    Skyscrapers that touched the sky was standing proudly.


    The center of the Layer of Nobility was where Top Companies of Brightstar was located, while on the outer edge of the Layer of Nobility was where everyone''s homes were located.


    The center of the Layer of Nobility was also the center of the Brightstar, but it was famously known by the name of Heart of Brightstar.


    One of the skyscrapers was a ce where Malcolm & Madison Company was located.


    Currently, a meeting was being held on the top floor of the skyscraper.


    The meeting room was spacious enough to fit a long table that could easily fit over fifty people.


    Currently, there are only twelve people gathered.


    On the main seat of the table, Malcolm and Madison were sitting next to each other, while the Board of Directors, which consisted of simrly elderly people, was sitting around the long table.


    Outside the window, they could see the entire Brightstar with ease.


    Madison was looking outside the window towards a particr mansion.


    Her gaze was located in one of the windows, and she thought that she managed to see a glimpse of white-haired youth there.


    ''I hope he isn''t mad that we weren''t there when he woke up¡­ Maybe I should make his favorite food.'' Madison had a gentle smile on her attractive face as she started thinking about what food to make for her grandson.


    ''''Ahem.'''' Malcolm''s cough attracted Madison''s attention.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Madison turned her head and noticed everyone looking at her with frowns.


    The meeting had started, but the Co-Owner of the Company was, for some reason, distracted.


    She innocently smiled and waved her hand, ''''Let''s begin.''''


    The Board of Directors nodded and turned their gazes at Malcolm.


    Behind Malcolm and Madison, a TV screen showed a clock that was ticking down.


    Soon, only 8 minutes remained before the clock reached zero.


    ''''Today, we are gathered to talk about the opening of World Bank.'''' Malcolm said and crossed his fingers, ''''Arthur didn''t discuss much about what else is in the update, but he said that World Bank will appear in every Major City.''''


    The Board of Directors nodded.


    ''''Because of the World Bank.'''' Malcolm''s face turned serious, ''''It is obvious to expect a big loss of workforce.''''


    The Board of Directors nodded.


    They were already expecting it.


    ''''Many will quit their jobs and focus on White Online because it is a way to get a wealth beyond their wildest fantasies.''''


    Madison continued, ''''That''s why we decided to open another branch of our Company.''''


    The Board of Directors looked curious and waited for Malcolm to disclose what the branch does.


    ''''The branch will focus on nurturing Master sses.'''' Malcolm said, ''''We can sell potions, traps, and much more.''''


    The Board of Directors nodded and approved the n.


    ''''We n to make our Guild one of the biggest Guilds for Master sses.'''' Madison continued, ''''It won''t be easy because we are already behind Top yers, but we have already started nning it out, and soon, our Guild will be one of the biggest ones in Stronglord.''''


    ''''How are you nning to do that?'''' An elderly woman asked with an aged tone.


    Madison nodded at Malcolm, who started exining, ''''You all know this by now, but we opened an antique shop that was copied from the items we have gathered in our lifetime.''''


    The Board of Directors nodded and still thought that it was an excellent n.


    Most of the antique items werepletely strange to World of White''s residents, and it didn''t take long for their shop''s name to start spreading among nobles, who were the only ones who could afford them.


    ''''We received a very wealthy customer; he is also a big figure in Noble Circle.'''' Malcolm smiled and continued, ''''Today, he wille to pick up the item he ordered, and I will tell him about my business idea.''''


    ''''Are you sure that he will ept to sponsor you?'''' An elderly man asked. His head has started to get bald, with only a few strands of hair left.


    ''''I am.'''' Malcolm said with certainty, ''''He might even talk about it with Emperor.''''


    The Board of Directors looked surprised.


    ''''That''s where the second n starts.'''' Malcolm raised two fingers, ''''Royal Family will be in control of the World Bank, and that''s why the ones who have a good rtionship with them will also have their own influence increased tremendously.''''


    ''''Excellent.'''' One of the Board of Directors said, and first time in a long time, he felt excited.


    ''''Now, it''s your time to do your jobs.'''' Madison said and waved her hand, ''''Take the VR Helmets below the table and start recruiting Master ss yers.''''


    All of the Board of Directors grabbed the Legendary VR Helmet below the table and put it over their heads.


    Their faces soon became emotionless as they entered the World of White.


    ''''Good luck¡­'''' Madison muttered and sighed, ''''We are old, but maybe, we can help the younger generation a little bit.''''


    Malcolm sighed and nodded, ''''The younger generation of Brightstar has be worse with each generation, but I still believe¡­ When things get tough, they will be there to safeguard Humanity''s Legacy.''''


    Madison looked at her friends, that was part of the Board of Directors.


    All of them epted their jobs as recruiters because they want to build a foundation for their younger generation, and when it''s their time to ept their statuses, they will have a solid foundation to start from.


    Most of them didn''t have much faith in their younger generation because they only loved to party and barely worked.


    But, they have enough faith in them to believe that they will be the ones who will protect Humanity from the threats that are on the way.


    ''''I will return to the mansion. Will you be alright?'''' She tenderly touched her husband''s shoulders.


    ''''I will.'''' Malcolm grabbed his own Legendary VR Helmet, ''''I will get him to sponsor us¡­ I won''t fail.''''


    Madison chuckled and ruffled his hair, ''''I know¡­'''' She turned around and saw the clock showing that only five minutes remained before the downtime was over.

 Chapter 247 - welcome To The World of Legacies

    Chapter 247 - wee To The World of Legacies.


    In Legacy Company.


    Inside the room with thousands of screens.


    The workers looked nervous, with tiny beads of sweatdrops dropping down from their faces and staining their work clothes.


    Their finger was robotically tapping the keyboard.


    They were doingst bug checks and ensuring that everything was running smoothly inside the game while the downtime was happening.


    Arthur was standing in the middle of the room with eyebags underneath his eyes.


    His hair was once again messy with a dirty face.


    In the past few days, he had put a lot of effort into making sure that everything was perfect.


    He had been preparing for this for decades, and he knew that everything would run smoothly, but he couldn''t still keep that confident demeanor and had to skip the sleeping time and focus on checking every little thing, frame by frame, code by code.


    *Swung*


    The doors slid open, and a beautiful middle-aged woman appeared with a group of angry-looking middle-aged men.


    ''''You bastard!'''' One of them shouted towards Arthur and rudely walked past Emilia with his shoulder bumping her out of the way.


    Emilia stumbled to the side and almost fell down on her buttocks but remained standing.


    She wiped her sweat and, with displeasure, looked towards the Board of Directors.


    ''''If you fuck this up, I will swear that I will destroy you!'''' A member of the Board of Directors shouted.


    Emilia opened her mouth, nning to calm the situation, but her worst fears came true; Arthur managed to open his mouth first.


    ''''I know everything about the World of White,'''' Arthur said, and the workers, who had been working an only moment ago, stopped and looked at their majestic boss.


    ''''I know the things World of White has, which even Gods aren''t aware of.''''


    ''''So what?!'''' The angry-looking member of the Board of Directors shouted, ''''If you fuck up, we will lose everything we have worked for!''''


    ''''Worked for?'''' Arthur raised an eyebrow and startedughing, ''''Hahahaha!''''


    The angry-looking middle-aged man started fuming in anger.


    ''''You useless fuckers haven''t done anything.'''' Arthur chuckled and shook his head.


    ''''It was me who built the Legacy Company from scratch, and it was me who built the VR Helmets.''''


    He turned around to look at the Board of Directors like they were a pack of clowns.


    ''''Also¡­ It was me who managed to connect the VR Helmets with World of White.''''


    He paused for a moment before continuing, ''''Of course, with the help of Gaia, but you guys¡­ What have you guys done?''''


    The angry-looking man pointed at him with shaky fingers, ''''D-Don''t forget who was the one who paid for your crazy ideas! It was us; without us, you would be a homeless loser!''''


    ''''Shut the fuck up,'''' Arthur said with such coldness in his words that it froze the angry-looking man from head to toe.


    He couldn''t move a muscle like he was in front of a God!


    ''''Today world will change.'''' Arthur widened his arms wide open, ''''Enjoy the show!''''


    He turned back to look at the thousands of screens, which showed World of White and the countdown that reached the 2-minute mark!


    The members of the Board of Directors gritted their teeth and left the room while whispering with each other.


    They already hated Arthur because he wasn''t afraid of telling what he was thinking.


    Everyone else has to bow before them, but not Arthur.


    In front of Arthur, they can''t do anything.


    ''''Sigh¡­ You went overboard.'''' Emilia appeared next to Arthur and said with a wry smile.


    ''''I have been preparing for this day for decades¡­'''' Arthur clenched his fist and confidently said, ''''Nothing will go wrong¡­ Waiting for another month would be useless because I have been ready for five years¡­''''


    Emilia nodded with a smile, ''''I know. You are greatest after all.''''


    ''''Greatest¡­'''' Arthur shook his head and didn''t think so.


    [1:00¡­]


    [0:59¡­]


    Only 1 minute remained in the clock.


    Arthur looked at the thousands of screens and asked, ''''Gaia, is everything working?''''


    Suddenly, the screen started showing an illusionary face.


    The illusionary face had beautiful blue hair, a beautiful face with gentle eyes, and a pointy nose.


    She looked absolutely lovely, and some of the workers felt lovestruck.


    Emilia bit her lip and felt self-conscious after seeing the illusionary face''s otherworldly look.


    She looked at her own beautiful face from the reflection of the window, and it didn''t look as beautiful as it did before.


    That was the effect the illusionary figure''s face had.


    Arthur, on the other hand, looked calm as before.


    ''''Yes.'''' The illusionary face said with a melodious voice, ''''Good job, Arthur, I knew I could count on you.''''


    ''''Thank you.'''' Arthur bowed and put his palm on his chest.


    The illusionary face smiled, which caused every individual in the room to start breathing faster.


    Soon, the illusionary face disappeared from the screen, and everyone in the room took a deep breath.


    Arthur closed his eyes and thought, ''It''s time.''


    ¡­


    Inside Whitelock''s Mansion.


    Isaac had his phone in his hand while the countdown was ticking down.


    [0:30¡­]


    ''''30 seconds¡­'''' Isaac grabbed his VR Helmet from the ck box and lied down on the bed.


    The phone that was still in his hand showed the countdown.


    Isaac put the headgear around his head and tapped the button.


    Soon, the blue skinsuit surrounded his body from neck to toe.


    Instead, Isaac didn''t enter the game yet and waited for the countdown to reach zero.


    [0:15¡­]


    [0:14¡­]


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac calmed down his heartbeat with a long breath.


    [0:10¡­]


    [0:09¡­]


    Isaac calmed down his muscles and rxed his body.


    [0:05¡­]


    [0:04¡­]


    The visor was still showing [Offline]


    Closer to the countdown reaching zero, the Offline color started changing from ck to gray before getting close to the shade of white.


    [0:01¡­]


    [0:00¡­]


    [Offline -> Online!]


    *Beep* *Beep*


    The visor started beeping, and Isaac knew that it was time to return to the World of White.


    ''''Let''s do this.'''' Isaac closed his phone and said, ''''Enter!''''


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Good Luck, White Death!]


    [Game: White Online - Status: Outstanding!]


    [New Update - Ready!]


    [Wee to the World of Legacies!]


    [World of White Wees You, Legacy Carrier!]

 Chapter 248 - Balancers - Rankings - WorldArena

    Chapter 248 - Bncers - Rankings - WorldArena.


    In the space.


    Two floating spheres were floating in the distance, and suddenly a bright white ball appeared in the middle of the dark space.


    *Pop*


    The bright white ball popped up like a soap bubble.


    From the white ball, a holographic screen appeared.


    *Beep* *Beep*


    [Update Ready!]


    [Update Log]


    [Log Out]


    Once the holographic screen appeared.


    A few hundred meters away.


    Another ball appeared, but it was in the color of blue.


    *Pop*


    The blue ball popped, and from there, an individual appeared.


    The individual was a beautiful individual with bright white hair, long eyshes, and delicate skin.


    His body was covered by a snow-white outfit that nicely outlined his skinny yet attractive figure.


    Isaac opened his eyes and noticed him standing once again in the dark space.


    After turning his head and making his veins pop up around his neck.


    He noticed the familiar floating sphere in the distance.


    It was easily millions of kilometers away, but he felt like the distance was only a few kilometers.


    Isaac turned his head back and noticed the white holographic screen in the distance.


    Once again, his feet separated from the invisible road once Isaac tried jumping.


    His body crossed hundreds of meters almost instantly, and he noticed how the holographic screen became closer and closer.


    Soon, his feet once again touched the invisible road, and he stopped only meters away from the holographic screen.


    ''''Update Log¡­'''' Isaac noticed that the downtime section was removed from the holographic screen.


    ''''No time to waste¡­'''' He murmured and touched the holographic screen with his cold hand, but the holographic screen was even colder.


    He didn''t want to waste any more time and wanted to know what was added to the game.


    His hand touched [Update Log], and it didn''t even take a second for the holographic screen topletely change.


    Rows after rows of words appeared.


    Isaac looked at the first row''s words and started patiently to read through them inside his mind.


    [Update Version 2]


    [World Bank Update - yers, every Major City in World of White has its own World Bank, which is used as Main Bank for all the yers ¡ª The White Coins have been so far avable to be used only inside the game, but from now on, you can transfer those Coins into real-life currency!]


    [Currency: 1 White Coin - 1 Cent]


    [Currency: 10 White Coins - 10 Cents]


    [Currency: 100 White Coins - 1$]


    [Currency: 1000 White Coins - 10$]


    ''''What!'''' Isaac eximed and knew what this meant.


    It will revolutionize the world''s economy!


    He covered his mouth in shock and quickly opened his interface, ''''Interface!''''


    [White Coins: 202323]


    He started counting how much his White Coins would be worth in real life''s currency.


    ''''100¡­ 1000¡­ 2023,23.'''' Once he finished counting, Isaac looked shocked, ''''I have earned so much!''''


    That amount of money was nothing for Isaac, who was part of a wealthy family, but it was an astronomical amount for him because he only earned it by ying a video game!


    ''''I wonder how the outside world is reacting¡­'''' Isaac can only imagine the chaos.


    He lowered his gaze and noticed another thing that was updated in the game.


    [New ss Type - Bncers!]


    [Legacy Hunter: Special Stat - Legacy]


    [Beastmaster: Special Stat - Taming]


    [Archaeologist: Special Stat - irvoyance]


    [Realm Hopper: Special Stat - Space]


    [Shapeshifter: Special Stat - Metamorphosis]


    ''''New sses?'''' Isaac went back to read the word Bncers and had a hunch why they were added, ''''With the help of these sses¡ª a new yer will be able to catch up quicker, I guess¡­''''


    After going back to the sses, one ss gave him chills.


    ''''Legacy Hunter¡­'''' His eyes narrowed as he thought that the users of that particr ss couldn''t be up to any good.


    Especially towards him, who is a Legacy Carrier.


    ''''Beastmaster¡­ That''s quite obvious¡­'''' Isaac thought aloud, ''''Archaeologist¡­ That seems quite interesting.''''


    ''''Realm Hopper¡­ Damn, that sounds sick.'''' Especially after seeing the Special Stat, he can tell that many would want to try that ss.


    ''''Shapeshifter¡­ Hmm, I wonder what that can do¡­ Shapeshift into animals?'''' He shrugged and thought that ss could do literally anything.


    Once he was done reading about sses, he saw another update that was released.


    [Changes to the sses]


    [Swordsman''s Running Speed Increased By 1%]


    [Hunter''s Sense of Smell Increased By 2%]


    [Poison Master''s Resistance Stat Effectiveness Increased By 1%]


    [Thief''s Robbing Stat''s Speed Increased By 1%]


    Once he was done reading, Isaac shook his head, ''''Marksmen yers are gonna be so pissed.''''


    He wasn''t that interested in the Buffs and Nerfs; he went to another section that looked much more interesting.


    [Realm Portals Added!]


    ''''Realm Portals¡­'''' Isaac widened his eyes in shock, and his heartbeat started beating rapidly, which also made his body hotter.


    He remembered the beautiful sight of the Moon City and the view of the Four Seasons from the Moon.


    Ever since he visited that ce, he couldn''t get it out of his mind.


    [Realm Portals allow the yer to travel to his desired destination ¡ª Reminder, the yer can only teleport where he/she has been before!]


    ''''Yes!'''' An sound of celebration escaped Isaac''s mouth, ''''I can travel back to the Moon City¡­'''' He clenched his fist in celebration, but soon he remembered that it couldn''t be so easy.


    [Using Realm Portals Costs 100000 White Coins Per Use!]


    ''''So expensive!'''' Isaac eximed, ''''That is 1000$ in real-life currency¡­ Argh.'''' He scratched his head out of frustration.


    After he calmed down, he thought that using Realm Portals couldn''t be cheap, but he would be willing to pay that much to visit that beautiful city once more, and this time, he would visit it properly because he won''t be in a hurry.


    There were only two Updates left to read about.


    Isaac saw another interesting piece of text.


    [Ranking''s Added!]


    [Rankings are yer Rankings to determine the Top yers worldwide, and the yer''s Level determines the rankings!]


    ''''Rankings¡­'''' Isaac murmured and wondered what his rank was.


    ''''Interface.'''' He opened his Interface and noticed another section in the Interface.


    [Rankings]


    He pressed it with his fingertip and saw the top 10 yers'' names, and below that was his rank.


    [1. Lord Kalzer - Level 53]


    [2. Lady Noelle - Level 52]


    [3. King Xerxus - Level 52]


    [4. Lord Amour - Level 51]


    [5. Queen Eliza - Level 51]


    [6¡­]


    [7¡­]


    [8¡­]


    [9¡­]


    [10¡­]


    [14195. Wraith - Level 38]


    ''''Amazing¡­'''' Isaac murmured after seeing the Top yer''s levels.


    He thought he was close to the top, but he was nothingpared to the true best yers.


    Seeing his rank discouraged him, but he understood that he hadn''t been grinding XP like the Top yers have.


    Only one row of texts was left, and it was another interesting update, that will change everything.


    [World Arena''s Added!]


    [World Arena''s are unique Arena''s in Every Major City, where you can battle against fellow yers without fear of dying and being unable to y for a week or losing hard-earned Legacies ¡ª Winning the match and climbing Arena Rankings gives special awards!]

 Chapter 249 - colosseum

    Chapter 249 - colosseum.


    Isaac left the Update Log and noticed that there were only two choices.


    Log Out and Update Log.


    There was no button to enter White Online.


    Isaac looked around the dark space and wondered what he should be doing next.


    It seemed like he was trapped, with no way out.


    ''''How can I enter White Online¡­'''' He murmured, but once the words left his mouth, the holographic screen started changing.


    *SWOOSH*


    Like a bolt of lightning, the white holographic screen struck Isaac''s forehead and infiltrated his mind!


    ''''Ahh!'''' The impact of the sudden attack sent Isaac flying thousands of kilometers!


    During his flight, his body started turning into pixels, starting from his toes.


    Isaac''s hazy vision started changing, and soon he saw soft-looking clouds.


    In his vision, he traveled through the thickyer of cloud, and below them, he saw a mesmerizing sight.


    In front of him, five realms were stacked on top of each other.


    Top Realm was almost heaven-like, with beautiful golden buildings and mesmerizingkes, waterfalls, and forests.


    The second Realm was pure white in color like the whole Realm had only one season, winter!


    Third Realm was almost entirely in color of orange, yellow, and in red.


    The sight was incredibly majestic, making Isaac speechless, but then he saw the fourth realm.


    Heavy rain everywhere in the realm.


    A thickyer of dark-colored clouds poured water down.


    Everywhere in the realm, the same phenomenon was seen.


    And finally, Isaac saw the fifth realm, which looked much more familiar to him.


    The bottom realm had only one season, summer.


    Beautiful greenery, lush forests, and tall mountains.


    Soon, Isaac noticed how close his body was to the ground!


    ''''Ahh!'''' A scream escaped his mouth as his body was nearing the ground with deadly speed, but the next time he blinked, his vision had be ck.


    He couldn''t feel his body, only emptiness, and coldness.


    ''Did¡­ I¡­ Die?''


    Soon, his dark vision started changing, and his blurry vision started seeing outlines of items.


    He felt himself sitting on top of something soft, and soon, he started feeling his fingers and the rest of his body.


    Once his eyelids were opened fully, he saw the living room of his rented apartment.


    He was sitting in the same ce where he was before the Update.


    ''''Whew¡­ That was a crazy trip¡­'''' Isaac stood up and went to the kitchen to wash his face.


    From the sink, water poured down rapidly.


    Isaac put his hands below the sink and took a handful of the water before sshing it on his face.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' He grabbed a towel and wiped his face clean.


    Once he was done, he put the towel back on the hanger and went back to the living room, but then he heard a loud sound of cheering.


    *Cheers!*


    Isaac frowned, and at first, he heard the sound of cheering, but then he heard the sound of drumming.


    A sound of hollow rumble echoed from far away, all the way to the living room, where Isaac was standing.


    *Dun*


    *Dun*


    *Dun Dun Doom Dun Dun*


    ''''What is that noise¡­'''' Isaac left the building and looked towards the City Square, but the sight shocked him to the core.


    Arge Colosseum-like building was somehow built in a matter of hours, and it was the easily biggest building on Outer Layer.


    A shing of lights and loud drumming sound came from the Colosseum like a massive party was ongoing.


    While he was standing dumbly, his neighbors walked past him with excited faces while pointing towards the Colosseum.


    After they walked past him, Isaac finally saw everyone walking towards the Colosseum with excited faces.


    The streets were busy, with NPCs of every age rushing towards the Colosseum.


    The yers who appeared after getting beyond shocked after reading Update Logs were utterly shocked at the sight.


    Some of them followed behind the crowd of NPCs, while others stayed behind to calm down.


    Few yers in the streets were looking with disbelief at the sight, and it didn''t take long for everyone to see that there was another new building only a few blocks away from Colosseum.


    Arge four-floor building made from yellowish and white marbles was also a new attraction in the City of Stronglord.


    While the NPCs only looked curious at the building, the yers felt nervous.


    On top of the building, a golden sign was enough to make everyone both pressured and excited at the possibilities.


    [World Bank]


    Impatient yers rushed towards the World Bank to be the first ones to transfer their in-game money to real-life currency.


    Most of them had barely earned 1000$, but it was still an astronomical sum for many of the younger generation.


    Isaac saw most of the chaos that was happening with his excellent eyesight, and he felt overwhelmed.


    ''''White Online will never be the same¡­'''' He knew that everyone would be desperate to earn White Coins, and many might rely on stealing, which made him remember one ss that was rather specialized in stealing.


    ''Thief ss¡­ I better be on the lookout.'''' Isaac knew that if even one soul knew about the wealth he was hiding, he would be hunted down.


    While many were desperate to earn real-life money, Isaac wasn''t as desperate, instead knew that he needed White Coins for multiple purposes.


    Mainly for Realm Portals.


    Isaac looked around the City, trying to find where the Realm Portals were located, and it didn''t take long for him to see an unbelievable sight.


    In the City Square, four stone doors made a square in the middle of the City Square.


    NPCs had no idea what it was for, and even yers looked confused.


    Not many could continue focusing on other things after reading about World Bank.


    *SWOOSH*


    Isaac, NPCs, and every yer in the Stronglord raised their heads and saw fireworks exploding in the sky, making a beautiful spectacle.


    The children cheered with excitement while their parents looked with smiles.


    Because of the fireworks, Colosseum stole everyone''s attention.


    NPCs and yers alike turned their gazes towards the Colosseum.


    Isaac wasn''t any different.


    ''''Colosseum¡­ Is that the World Arena?'''' He rubbed his chin and decided to check it out.

 Chapter 250 - Spectator or Gladiator

    Chapter 250 - Spectator or diator.


    Isaac reached the busy streets, which were packed with excited NPCs and yers who lookedpletely out of ce.


    They followed behind the crowd, but many looked ufortable while surrounded by hundreds of NPCs.


    Isaac entered the crowd and kept bumping and crashing with others.


    Few shouts and angry screams came from the crowd of people, but they kept moving forwards.


    While slowly moving forwards in the busy streets, Isaac heard the conversation of nearby NPCs and yers.


    ''''Do you think that it was the Gods who built the Colosseum for us?'''' An NPC with ordinary auburn hair asked from his friend, who was walking next to him while being surrounded by hundreds of other individuals.


    ''''Not sure.'''' His friend replied and looked towards the Colosseum in the distance, ''''But¡­ I wonder why anyone would risk their lives to fight there.''''


    ''''That''s the point!'''' The auburn-haired NPC shouted with excitement.


    ''''What is?'''' His friend asked with a frown.


    ''''Apparently, the diators will be blessed by the Gods, granting them immortality!''''


    ''''What?!'''' His friend shouted with shock, ''''That must be fake news!''''


    ''''Royal Family was the one who said it!'''' The auburn-haired NPC shouted back and clenched his fist with excitement pouring inside his body, ''''Apparently, no one will die while fighting, but there is some punishment for losing and great wealth for the winners!''''


    ''''Are you nning to participate?'''' His friend widened his eyes in shock after understanding what his friend meant, ''''Are you crazy?!''''


    ''''This is my chance!'''' The auburn-haired man said and pointed towards the sky, ''''One day, I will reach the famous God Realm!''''


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' His friend shook his head, ''''I know you have always wanted to do something important¡­ But, this is not for you. There are monsters participating.''''


    ''''Legacy Carriers¡­'''' The auburn-haired man muttered with slight hesitation.


    The Legacy Carriers are almost like Gods to them, which made him reluctant to try to fight against them, but if he can win against one of them¡­ His victory will be hailed everywhere in Stronglord Empire.


    ''''I will show you.'''' He said and shouted, ''''I will win!''''


    His friend shook his head, and both of them had no idea that a white-haired Legacy Carrier was listening to them.


    ''''Interesting¡­'''' Isaac murmured, ''NPCs can also join?''


    Soon, the crowd of people reached the area close to the Colosseum.


    They could almost see the entrance already, but in front of them, tens of thousands of equally excited NPCs and yers tried to enter the Colosseum, but it was packed like sardines in a can.


    While most of the NPCs and yers tried to push through others, Isaac was moving calmly forwards and managed to do so with rtive ease.


    But then, his ears perked up as he heard a wind brushing past his hair.


    After raising his head, he noticed shadowy figures jumping over the crowd of people.


    ''Assassins¡­'' Isaac frowned and saw how three shadowy figures were skipping most of the line, and no one had any idea because they were too busy trying to move forwards.


    The three Assassins had slight grins on their faces as they saw the entrance of the Colosseum nearing.


    ''Go back in line¡­'' Isaac opened his Interface and took three bullets from his leather pouches.


    *SWOOSH*


    He used his whole arm, all the way from his shoulder to the fingertips, to throw the bullets.


    Once his arm moved forwards, the bullets left his hand and flew straight towards the three shadowy figures.


    *Bam*


    *Bam*


    *Bam*


    The bullets struck the three Assassins in the back, which caused them to lose their bnce, which they desperately needed to keep jumping over the crowd of people.


    Their bodies crashed on top of dozens of NPCs, which caused a blockage in the front of the entrance.


    Their stealth disappeared, and finally, NPCs could see three individuals that were trying to skip the line.


    ''''Umm¡­'''' One of the Assassins paled after getting surrounded by angry NPCs.


    His two friends were also frightened.


    Soon, a Guard, who was wearing heavy metal armor, left the Colosseum and stopped in front of the Assassins.


    He grabbed them from their cors and started dragging them inside Colosseum.


    The NPCs and yers could only hear the Assassins'' despairing screams while they were getting dragged towards the jail.


    Isaac wryly smiled and didn''t expect that to happen, ''''Well¡­ Deserved?''''


    He shrugged and continued moving forwards without skipping the line.


    After ten minutes of swimming through the crowd of people, Isaac entered the Colosseum through the entrance and was greeted by arge line at least one hundred meters in length.


    Isaac sighed and knew that another long wait was ahead.


    After another twenty minutes of waiting, only one person remained in front of Isaac before it was his turn.


    ''''Spectator or diator.'''' A man with a diator outfit asked at the desk like he had asked from tens of thousands before him.


    ''''Spectator.'''' The NPC answered, and the man pointed towards the right path.


    The NPC nodded and went to the right path, which led to the Spectators'' stands.


    Isaac took a step forwards, and he could finally see the man properly.


    Underneath his diator armor, explosive muscles were almost bulging through the armor.


    The diator armor exposed quite a lot of his body, barely covering privates, and outlined perfectly his perfect muscles made forbat.


    The diator raised his head and widened his eyes in surprise.


    Once he regained his senses, he asked, ''''VIP, Spectator, or diator?''''


    ''''VIP?'''' Isaac frowned and was sure that nobody got that choice before, ''''What is it?''''


    ''''VIP is for Legacy Carriers.'''' The diator replied with more respect than when he talked with NPCs, ''''It is a special room for Legacy Carriers like you, and in there, you can choose if you want to fight at any time.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac thought it sounded nice, ''''Sure, I will choose VIP.''''


    The diator nodded and waved towards a beautiful woman wearing very exposing diator armor made for females.


    She was wearing bikinis with a loincloth that barely covered her privates.


    It might even be possible to see underneath her clothing from the side, but the beautiful woman didn''t seem to mind that over thousand eyes were ogling at her figure.


    Instead, she calmly smiled at Isaac and said, ''''Follow me¡ª I will show you the way.''''


    Isaac nodded and entered the left path with her.

 Chapter 251 - Match of the Colosseum

    Chapter 251 - Match of the Colosseum.


    The beautiful female diator saw the end of the corridor.


    At the end of the corridor, a wooden door with a metallic door handle was located at the end.


    Once she reached the door, she took a key from her cleavage and put it right inside the keyhole.


    *Clink*


    Once she twisted the key, the lock clinked, and soon the door was ajar.


    She smiled and opened the door wide open, allowing Isaac to see everything inside.


    The most noticeable thing was the one-way mirror, which allows everyone inside the room to see the whole Colosseum perfectly, but no one will be able to look inside the room.


    The room was spacious enough to hold a small party of 10 individuals.


    Two meters away from the windows, three sofas in light brownish color with animal fur as a cover were the VIP Spectators'' seats.


    ''''Sir.'''' She motioned for Isaac to enter the VIP stands.


    Isaac nodded and entered the spacious room, but he smelled something strange in the air.


    The air in the room was much fresher than outside the room.


    The corridors had a stuffy scent that clogged Isaac''s nose multiple times, but inside the room, he could breathe freely from his nose and mouth.


    Inhale, exhale.


    ''''Sir, ring a bell if you need anything.'''' She pointed at the golden bell that was right on top of a small square-shaped table.


    Once she saw Isaac nodding, she closed the door and soon left to continue to do her other tasks.


    Isaac looked at the closed door for several seconds before looking back at the sofas.


    ''''How can they tell me I am Legacy Carrier..?'''' Isaac sat down on the sofa while thinking that specific thought.


    It can prove very problematic if someone who has terrible intentions finds out.


    ''''Is there a way to stop anyone from finding out¡­'''' He wished that there was more info about the Legacy Carriers, but the game was still in its infant phase.


    *SWOOSH*


    A st of wind suddenly brushed past Isaac, and when his face turned into confusion, a holographic screen appeared in front of him with dinging noise.


    *DING*


    *DING*


    [Wee to Stronglord''s Colosseum!]


    [Arena Rankings]


    [Be a diator]


    Only two choices were in front of Isaac.


    Once his finger touched the first choice, which was Arena Rankings.


    The holographic screen started transforming, bing rows of letters and numbers.


    Soon, the holographic screen became something that could be read, and not the mush of different numbers and letters that were like a bunch of code.


    Isaac''s attention shifted to the first row of words.


    [1. Darkside (League of Assassins) ¡ª 1 W - 0 L]


    ''''He already finished a match?'''' Isaac looked surprised and remembered the infamous Guild Leader of the League of Assassins.


    He himself doesn''t have that much interaction with him, but he was sure that they haven''t forgotten about Duo Dungeon.


    Isaac swiped his hand, and the Arena Rankings disappeared.


    There was only one choice left, but it was obvious what it did.


    So far, Isaac has no intention of fighting in the Colosseum.


    But, he was curious and decided to check the uing matches.


    *Creak*


    After he thought about the uing matches, tworge doors on the bottom of the Colosseum opened.


    From each side, three yers popped up, in total, six yers, every one of them having the same look.


    Look of excitement, but also nervousness, even though they were trying to hide it.


    There were over a hundred thousand spectators looking straight at them.


    Most of them are probably still High Schoolers, and being in the center of attention of such an audience can make their mind go numb.


    Once the spectators saw them, they started screaming their hearts out.


    *Doom Dun Dun Doom Dun Dun*


    The sound of drums, which Isaac had heard before, reappeared.


    He tried to find out where the noise came from and soon saw dozens of individuals dressed in diator attire mming the drums with drumsticks as loud as they could.


    *Doom Dun Dun Doom Dun Dun*


    The floor below Isaac''s legs trembled, causing a shiver to spread all around his body.


    The spectators started stomping the floor below them, making the sand ground below the Colosseum shaking, quaking, and trembling.


    The yers looked at the sight with a mesmerized look.


    The sight was something they had never witnessed.


    Not in real life or in White Online.


    This was the first time they felt their blood boiling.


    If even they felt their blood boiling, what about the six yers that were the target of all those shouts?


    They felt¡­ Even more nervous.


    What if they embarrass themselves?


    What if they lose?


    What if they aren''t strong enough to impress the spectators?


    All sorts of thoughts went past their minds in a split second.


    Isaac noticed their faces turning conflicted and also regretful.


    ''''They are¡­ Too stiff.'''' He shook his head and thought that the one who could withstand pressure most would be the winner.


    From one of the doors, a person appeared.


    She was a beautiful woman with simr diator attire, with bikinis and loincloth.


    Her long flowy blond hair reached all the way to her lower back, and her long eyshes were a sight to behold.


    Of course, the most noticeable trait on her was her physical body, but she had a surprisingly athletic body, especially the slight muscles around her arms.


    Once she arrived, the spectators started whistling loudly, while the families had to cover their children''s eyes.


    She stopped in the middle of the Colosseum, and with a melodious tone, she started speaking, ''''Wee everyone.''''


    Everyone quieted down and listened to her beautiful voice.


    ''''Today.'''' She put her arms wide open, ''''These six diators will fight for wealth, fame, and respect.''''


    ''''The Gods have blessed us. Therefore, everyone can enjoy the matches without worrying about bloodshed or death, because¡­''''


    She pointed at the six yers and smiled beautifully, ''''These diators have been blessed by the Gods, making them immortal, but even though they are immortals¡­ Only one shall be the victor!''''


    *CHEERS!*


    The spectators started mming their feet on the floor with excited shouts.

 Chapter 252 - wheel of Victory

    Chapter 252 - wheel of Victory.


    At the bottom of the massive Colosseum.


    A lonely-looking yer with bloodied knuckles, messy hair, and an exhausted face was standing in the middle of five fallen yers.


    His eyes showed the adrenaline rush that was running through his veins.


    Around him, the excited shouts of the spectators kept ringing in his ears.


    He covered his ears, hoping for the sounds to disappear, but he felt like the shouts became even louder.


    Against all odds, he won the Arena match and was thest one standing.


    Even though he should be happy for winning, he wasn''t.


    It was the most nerve-wracking thing he had done, and it was a miracle that he could keep standing on his two feet.


    But, once the adrenaline rush ends, who knows what happens to his body.


    The five fallen yers soon disappeared from the arena and were teleported inside a resting room located somewhere in Colosseum.


    Every yer who reaches 0 HP in the Colosseum doesn''t die, instead gets healed miraculously in the resting room, which location was aplete mystery.


    Inside one of the VIP Rooms.


    Isaac was amazed at the things he saw.


    ''''Strong!'''' He had to admit that the yer showed what true Master of Martial Arts Techniques looks like!


    The yer was part of Brawler ss and easily dealt with Assassins Stealth, Archer''s Arrows, and Gunner''s Machine Gun blows.


    The way Brawler fought was something Isaac hadn''t seen before.


    It wasn''t as brute-like as he expected; instead, it was very masterful, and he can only imagine how strong Pro Brawler yers are.


    At the bottom of the Colosseum.


    The beautiful woman reappeared from the wide-open door and shouted with excitement, ''''We have a winner!''''


    ''''yer Fist is the victor!''''


    *CHEERS!*


    The spectators almost jumped on their feet, but managed to keep themselves in control, instead kept stomping the floor.


    The children kept waving their hands with excitement.


    From all the way to the spectator stands, they couldn''t manage to see any blood. Instead, the beautiful sight of the Brawler dodging all the attacks against all odds and sending attacks, which defeated his opponents with ease.


    With one punch, a yer fell down to the ground.


    With one kick, a yer was sent flying.


    Fist, the yer who won shakily nodded towards the beautiful woman, who responded with a smile and a gentle look.


    Suddenly, a holographic lottery wheel appeared in the air.


    Fist frowned and wondered what it was.


    ''''This is Wheel of Victory.'''' She calmly exined to Fist, spectators, and everyone who had thoughts about bing a diator.


    ''''The one who wins has a chance to spin the wheel once.'''' She smiled, and when she touched the wheel, her hand went through it.


    ''''The Gods also blessed the wheel, and only the match winner can spin it.''''


    The spectators looked amazed and soon erupted in cheers.


    Fist gulped and didn''t know that he had to rely on his luck to get something from his hard-earned victory.


    His hand shakily touched the wheel, and with a leap of faith, he used all his remaining strength to spin the wheel!


    *SWOOSH*


    The wheel started spinning rapidly.


    Every word in the wheel became blurry, unrecognizable, and hazy.


    The beautiful woman waited calmly while Fist could barely stand still.


    Inside the VIP Room.


    Isaac leaned closer and narrowed his eyes, trying to use his eyesight to its fullest limits.


    The wheel became slower and slower until¡­ It stopped.


    Fist gulped and saw the wheel stopping in a golden-colored area, which was the smallest area the wheel could stop at.


    The beautiful woman instantly became excited, ''''yer Fist has won Legacy Quest!''''


    Fist and everyone in the Colosseum had to register those words in their minds.


    The spectators were the first ones who reacted.


    *CHEERS!*


    Screams of excitement rang in the Colosseum, reaching all the way to the Royal Layer!


    Fist covered his face in disbelief, ''I won¡­ Legacy Quest?!''


    ''''Congrattions, yer Fist¡ª I wish you luck!'''' She waved her hand, and Fist suddenly disappeared from the arena and appeared somewhere in Colosseum in his own room.


    She smiled and looked towards the spectator stands, ''''Next match will start in 10 minutes, don''t go anywhere!'''' She turned around and hopped back to the doors.


    The spectators became excited at the uing matches and could barely sit still.


    Isaac stood up from the sofa and nced at [Be a diator], but soon turned around and left the VIP Room.


    He saw enough, and it was something he had never seen before.


    The trembling of the floor was still making his heart beat rapidly.


    *Ba-Dump*


    *Ba-Thump*


    ''''Huuu¡­'''' Isaac took a deep breath and somewhat calmed his heartbeat, even though his fingers were still trembling.


    Soon, he reached the vast part of the corridor, where NPCs and yers were entering both left and right paths.


    ''''Sir, are you done spectating?'''' The beautiful woman who showed Isaac the way to the VIP Room appeared next to him and asked.


    ''''Yes,'''' Isaac replied and walked past her, making her surprised.


    Rarely anyone would want to miss a chance to talk with her, but Isaac''s thoughts weren''t on her.


    It made her curious, ''Legacy Carriers are indeed different¡­'' She thought with a lick of her lips.


    Once Isaac reached the area close to the entrance, he had to walk past NPCs and yers that seemed in a hurry to enter the Colosseum.


    But, while he was walking, he noticed two shady-looking individuals whispering with each other only meter away from him.


    Isaac stopped and acted like he wasn''t listening to them, even though his ears were slightly perked up.


    ''''Did you hear?'''' A shady-looking figure with a few strands of brown hair peeking through his hood asked.


    ''''About what?'''' His friend asked, while his concentration was on the beautiful female diators.


    ''''The previous winner received Legacy Quest.'''' He said with a grin and asked, ''''Should we go kill him?''''


    ''''Why?'''' His friend asked nonchntly.


    ''''For fun.'''' He replied with a shrug, ''''It sounds fun, doesn''t it?''''


    ''''Well¡­ Yeah.'''' His friend replied, but then he asked, ''''If I would ask one of those beautiful diators out, would they ept?''''


    ''''Nah, you ugly.''''


    ''''Shit.'''' His friend looked defeated and nodded with the shady-looking figure and entered the left path.


    Isaac turned around and looked curious, ''''Hmm¡­ Those two must be arrogant or stupid¡­ I highly doubt that the Brawler will lose, but I kind of want to witness it¡­'''' He looked around him and followed after the two shady individuals.

 Chapter 253 - Fist of Dominion

    Chapter 253 - Fist of Dominion.


    *Creak*


    From a stone wall, an outline of a door suddenly appeared.


    The corridors were filled with yers that were anxious to register as a diator, but not even one of them noticed the sudden appearance of a door.


    The door slowly opened, and a bright light followed.


    Still, the yers looked oblivious and continued walking back and forth in the corridors.


    Some of them were going to register, and some went to get ready for their uing matches that started a few hourster.


    A yer with short ck hair and an above-average-looking face appeared from the open door.


    His previous messy hair was long gone, and the prior exhaustion was wiped out from his face.


    He looked rtively rxed with a tinge of excitement still left.


    On top of his head, a nametag floated that was glowing with a golden hue.


    [Fist]


    After he left the mysterious room, the door disappeared, and the previous stone wall reappeared.


    The yers still had no idea that there was a door only a moment ago.


    ''Time to leave¡­ I can''t believe I actually received a Legacy Quest¡­'' He clenched his hand into a fist and saw his future bing much clearer.


    After he started walking away, finally, yers saw him and his nametag.


    They started pointing at him while whispering with their friends.


    All of them had obvious greed deep inside their eyes and felt so jealous about Fist''s luck.


    But, all of them hope to get a simr prize, maybe an even better one!


    They have no idea how astronomically small the chance of getting Legacy Quest as a reward was.


    Fist''s luck might seem incredible at the moment, but soon they all will understand how unbelievable it indeed was!


    Fist kept walking with hands on his pockets, but soon he passed by two shady-looking individuals who weren''t looking at him.


    He didn''t think it was strange because many Assassins believe that wearing mysterious dark-colored outfits is cool.


    When Fist passed them, his senses started screaming in danger, and he couldn''t react in time because it came out of nowhere.


    *STAB*


    One of the shady-looking figures unsheathed their daggers and stabbed it deep inside Fist''s waist, piercing through the clothing, armory, flesh, and even bones!


    Fist''s eyes widened in shock, ''''W-Why?'''' He asked while blood flowed out from his mouth.


    The shady-looking man grinned, ''''For fun!''''


    ''''F-Fun?'''' Fist''s face paled, and he had never seen a crazy yer like this one!


    Who in their right mind would attack a fellow yer in a City where one wrong move can get them thrown into prison.


    Another shady-looking person moved next to the Fist and touched his shoulder, ''''Soul Suck!''''


    [Soul Suck Used!]


    A terrifying scene happened that caused chills for everyone who saw it.


    From Fist''s avatar, an illusionary ball-like item was getting pulled out!


    When it was pulled out, it looked like Fist''s body was getting stretched.


    His flesh was moving ufortably like his flesh was made out of gum!


    [-99 HP!]


    [-99 HP!]


    Fist saw rows of notifications popping up before him, and his HP was almost instantly reduced by half.


    ''''Enough!'''' He screamed after understanding what was currently happening to him.


    The shady-looking individuals were hellbent on killing him, but he wasn''t nning to make it easy for them!


    Out of nowhere, he grabbed the dagger and pulled it away from his flesh.


    The shady-looking man looked surprised, but then Fist pulled his head back before smashing it in front of him!


    *BAM!*


    The shady-looking man was thrown at the stone wall by Fist''s headbutt.


    ''''Ahh!'''' His nose broke with blue blood dripping down from his nose.


    His friend looked surprised, but then he came face-to-face with Fist''s own fist!


    His friend couldn''t even blink and was struck by the fist.


    *SMACK!*


    *BAM*


    His body crashed onto the stone wall with a mouthful of saliva leaving his mouth.


    yers around them noticed the scene.


    The Guard saw it as well, but they didn''t move an inch and didn''t have any intention of stopping them.


    The shady-looking guys gritted their teeth after their Assassination attempt failed, but they had no intention of giving up so quickly!


    *SWOOSH*


    Suddenly, both of them disappeared!


    [Stealth Used!]


    [Stealth Used!]


    Fist widened his eyes in shock and anxiously looked around him.


    But they didn''t see nothing except a crowd of yers looking at him with amused gazes and stone walls.


    But then, his senses started ringing!


    It was like when he first got attacked; his senses were telling him to dodge!


    Fist jumped to the side with the help of his senses and saw his previous spot being assaulted by a rain of daggers.


    [Dagger Rain Used!]


    In the stone ceiling, two shady-looking guys were hanging with their daggers dug inside the ceiling cracks.


    They managed to barely keep hanging with the help of their daggers, but then they saw Fist''s enraged eyes looking straight towards them!


    ''''Not good, run!'''' The shady-looking guy screamed and jumped out of the way before Fist could do anything.


    Fist''s right hand started glowing in crimson, making the environment hotter with each passing second.


    ''''Fist of Crushing!'''' His powerful scream echoed in the corridors, and he did a powerful uppercut!


    The crimson light flew straight towards the ceiling from his fist, destroying it into pieces!


    *BOOM*


    *CRASH!*


    The ceiling fell apart, sending broken stone around the corridor.


    A dust cloud appeared around the crash site, making the previous stuffed air even stuffier.


    *Cough*


    The yers started coughing and tried to wave their hands to get rid of the dust.


    ''''Haaahh¡­ Haaahh¡­'''' Fist wiped his sweat and looked around him, but the shady-looking guys were nowhere to be seen.


    All the yers around him had no intention of helping; instead, they felt annoyed by Fist''s presence because they were already jealous of his luck.


    Inside their hearts, the desire to see Fist dead was sprouting.


    Fist saw their eyes and felt enraged.


    ''You guys want me to die because of the luck I had? This is so unfair¡­ You all are terrible!''


    His left hand started glowing in light blue.


    The temperature around the corridor became freezing cold.


    The yers surprisingly felt the cold and wondered where the hell the sudden cold came from.


    ''''You guys want me to die?!'''' His shout was heard by everyone, ''''Fine, but you guys will die as well!''''


    The yers looked surprised and saw Fist punching the stone ground.


    ''''Fist of Dominion!''''


    *BAM!*

 Chapter 254 - Was That Wraith?

    Chapter 254 - Was That Wraith?


    From the floor, a ice started forming.


    The ice quickly started spreading everywhere in the corridor, freezing everything in sight.


    The yers'' legs turned into ice, earning shocked screams from them.


    The Guards and the rest of the Colosseum workers easily jumped over the ice and managed to dodge the ice with rtive ease.


    The floor and ceiling became fully covered in a thickyer of ice.


    ''''Hey, you bastard!'''' The yers started screaming angrily.


    ''''Get rid of the ice, or I will kill you!''''


    ''''F-Fuck! Why doesn''t the ice break?!''''


    ''''Hey, help me get rid of the ice¡ª I will fucking kill this bastard!''''


    Fist ignored the angry screams and managed to see a few shadowy figures jumping over the yers.


    His eyes turned cold, and he disappeared from his previous spot, only leaving ayer of ice behind.


    Fist suddenly appeared in mid-air, right in front of the shadowy figures!


    Stealth disappeared, and two shady-looking guys appeared with pale faces.


    ''''Hmph!'''' Fist reeled in his fist and punched forwards, sending a shockwave powerful enough to send them flying to the ice floor!


    *BAM*


    *BAM*


    Two shady-looking figures crashed on the floor in the middle of angry-looking yers.


    Fist once again was about to unleash another punch, but then his senses started screaming danger.


    *SWOOSH*


    From a dozen meters from him, and Archer sent a simple-looking arrow flying towards him, but the arrow''s tip was oozing with a greenish glow.


    The arrow was poisoned!


    Fist paled and knew that he couldn''t dodge mid-air.


    He closed his eyes and waited for the inevitable death to dawn upon him.


    But then¡­


    *BANG!*


    The sound of a gun firing echoed in the loud corridors.


    The sound of firing silenced every scream, and it was like the only thing in existence was that bullet!


    The bullet flew through the air and pierced the arrow from the middle.


    The arrow broke from the middle and fell down to the ice floor.


    ''''Who?!'''' The Archer screamed and looked behind him, where a white-haired youth was holding a gun unfamiliar to him.


    ''''Don''t intervene with the battle.'''' Isaac said calmly, ''''It''s bad manners.''''


    ''''Who the hell do you think you are?!'''' The Archer screamed and sent another poison arrow to fly straight towards Isaac.


    ''''Sigh.'''' Isaac sighed with disappointment and sidestepped.


    The arrow brushed past his face, and his face still had the same calmness.


    Fist and the Archer looked surprised at the fluidity of his movements.


    Isaac aimed the gun towards the Archer and squeezed the trigger, ''''Bye.''''


    *BANG!*


    The bullet flew like a rocket and, in a split second, had already pierced through the Archer''s face.


    *SPURT!*


    The Archer''s head exploded out of nowhere, sending a rain of blue blood flying!


    The yers, who were already annoyed at getting their legs frozen, were now even angrier.


    The blood sttered on their faces.


    Fist widened his eyes in shock and couldn''tprehend what he saw.


    With such a simple motion, the Archer died without being able to fight back.


    Taking the situation to their advantage, the two shady-looking guys stood up and started running away, but Fist saw it.


    Fist''s eyes became cold, and he jumped after them!


    The shady-looking guys looked behind them and paled after seeing the Incarnation of Destruction following after them!


    ''''W-Wait!'''' One of them tried to reason with a Fist but was hit by his fist as a result!


    *SPURT!*


    His head exploded, and with having no idea what happened, he turned into pixels and disappeared from the World of White.


    Only one shady-looking guy was left, but he couldn''t run far away.


    Once Fist''s kicknded on his back, his spinal cord broke in half, and he couldn''t even scream before turning into pixels.


    Fistnded on the ground and turned around but didn''t see the white-haired youth anymore.


    He had disappeared, leaving no traces behind, but Fist managed to see his face.


    ''''Was that¡­ Wraith?''''


    ¡­


    Isaac left the Colosseum and saw the carnage outside.


    If previously was terrible, now it was even worse.


    More and more yers had entered the game, and the area around Colosseum was literally brimmed to the fullest.


    It took Isaac close to half an hour of pushing past anxious-looking yers.


    Once he reached the streets, he took a sigh of relief.


    His white hair had be messy with disheveled clothing.


    The streets were pretty empty, but he could hear the screamsing from the Colosseum.


    It was like he was standing right next to a very loud concert.


    After catching his breath, he continued walking in the rtively empty streets.


    Every now and then, he managed to see NPCs working in their own shops that werepletely empty.


    The stores that were full only a day ago are nowpletely empty.


    Isaac thought that it wouldn''tst long.


    The hype around Colosseum willst for a week at best until the ordinary daily routine reappears.


    But, it still doesn''t mean that the shops will be as popr as before.


    The Colosseum instead will always be popr.


    The yers who are doing good in Colosseum can earn wealth and fame, which will take them to the top, but the losing punishment was still unknown.


    If it is heavy punishment, many will have to reconsider whether they will try.


    That was one of the reasons Isaac didn''t go try.


    The punishment can be so severe that his growth willpletely stop for a week.


    He didn''t want to take the risk and wait till yers share it on Forums.


    Inside the Colosseum, he had already thought about his next destination.


    Realm portals.


    Walking past several blocks, he reached the City Square, where four unknown stone doors were.


    Around the doors, four Guards were standing in front of the doors.


    NPCs and yers who happened to walk past were confused about the stone doors.


    Isaac, on the other hand, knew exactly what they were.


    He sat down on the bench, while the four stones were only ten meters away from him and four different roads that leave out from the City Square and fashionable buildings surrounding the City Square.


    The City Square, which was usually full has barely enough space to walk unhindered, was nowpletely empty.


    With few random NPCs every now and then walking past the City Square or yers who were running towards Colosseum.

 Chapter 255 - Revisiting

    Chapter 255 - Revisiting.


    Isaac left the City Square after admiring the sight of Realm Portals long enough.


    For now, he had no n of wasting half of his wealth to go visit on Moon City.


    But, he has a destination in his mind.


    He remembers talking with Darth about having special bullets, but he had given up on that after getting a special Mythical Weapon that doesn''t need bullets.


    Instead, he thought maybe he would be able to get Potions.


    It was a long shot, but he decided to test his luck and maybe get a few Healing Potions or pay for them.


    He remembered most of the path after once following behind Redless, who was the one that showed him the way to the ck Arrow Building.


    Soon, he reached the ck Arrow Building, which looked exactly the same as previously.


    Nothing had been changed, except the guild building was almost entirely empty!


    Isaac thought it wasn''t strange because almost all the yers went to check World Bank and Colosseum.


    The shouts and cheersing from Colosseum could still be heard clearly.


    It wasn''t strange that almost everyone wanted to visit it after feeling their blood boiling in excitement.


    Isaac entered the guild building, and the first thing he saw was the empty lounge area, which was thest time he had visitedpletely full of guild members from ck Arrow and Golden Crown.


    However, the ce wasn''tpletely empty.


    Behind the front desk, a beautiful young woman with auburn hair tied in a ponytail was sitting with boredom.


    She was messaging with her friends about how much it sucks to stay behind as a receptionist.


    She could hear the excitement in the voices that wereing from Colosseum.


    Above her, a nametag was floating.


    [Luminous]


    ''''This sucks¡­ I want to go there¡­'''' Looking at her friends'' messages about how amazing the Colosseum was made her even angrier.


    She started feeling regretful about ever joining ck Arrow Guild.


    She was a mere Outer Member who had zero influence in the Guild itself.


    Core Members were the Commanders, while Outer Members were footsoldiers.


    The difference in the hierarchy was massive.


    She wasn''t concentrating on the duty she was supposed to do; that''s why she didn''t notice a white-haired youth appearing in front of the desk.


    *Tap* *Tap*


    Luminous flinched after hearing the sudden sound of tapping and became pale.


    She hoped that it wasn''t one of the Core Members because most of them are very uptight and might get angry at her for not doing her job correctly.


    She looked at the finger that was tapping the desk with shaky eyes.


    The finger was very delicate and looked like something that was never used to do anything manualbor.


    When she raised her head, her eyes widened in shock after recognizing the youth.


    ''''W-W-Wraith.'''' She gasped in shock.


    ''''Is everyone out?'''' Isaac asked and looked towards upstairs, which had lights out.


    ''''Y-Yes!'''' Luminous replied with high pitch tone.


    ''''Can I meet with Gard, or has he left as well?'''' Isaac asked after remembering the ck Arrow''s Potion Master.


    Gard was the old man he met when he visited the ck Arrow Guild''s basement with Darth.


    ''''Well¡­ He hasn''t left yet.'''' She replied and, with a stutter, continued, ''''H-He doesn''t leave his workspace.''''


    ''''Hmm, can I meet him?'''' Isaac asked one more time.


    Luminous brows furrowed, and her eyes closed as she thought about what her Guild Master said about letting someone enter.


    Rarely anyone outside the Guild Members can visit the basement because top secret stuff was created there.


    But, Wraith wasmonly known as Guild Master''s and Vice Guild Master''s friend.


    She made up her mind and nodded vigorously, ''''Sure!''''


    Isaac sighed in relief and nodded at her.


    ''''Do you know the way?'''' She asked while watching Isaac walking past the desk and going straight towards the door that leads to the basement.


    ''''Yes, thank you.'''' Isaac opened the door and saw the stairway in front of him.


    He closed the door behind him and slowly walked down the stairways.


    Soon, he reached the bottom, and the four doors became visible.


    On the ceiling, one of a kind blue crystal was hanging from the ceiling.


    That sight made Isaac surprised.


    He stopped to look at the blue crystal and wondered where they got one.


    He remembered that Nobles and Royal Familiesmonly used the blue crystals, but this was the first time seeing one in possession of a yer.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac walked past the blue crystal and arrived in front of the second door.


    There was a drawing of a ss bottle on the door, which made Isaac remember that it was the second room where Gard was.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    He used his knuckles and knocked several times.


    After that, he started waiting patiently.


    His heartbeat didn''t elerate in pace, instead was steady and calm.


    He calmly waited and soon received the answer he was waiting for.


    ''''Come in¡­'''' An aged voice came from inside the room.


    Isaac grabbed the door handle and opened the door wide open.


    The room was surprisingly clean, with gray-colored walls and clean metallic tables surrounding the room.


    Behind one of the tables, an old man with gray hair and a messy beard poured green liquid inside one of the bottles.


    Tiny beads of sweatdrops tickled down his aged face, and his eyes showed absolute concentration on the task at hand.


    Isaac quietly entered the room and closed the door behind him.


    He slowly moved to the side, trying not to interrupt Gard in any way.


    Soon, Gard had finished pouring half of the liquid.


    Several minutester, the rest of the liquid was neatly on the bottle.


    Gard sighed in relief and grabbed a cork.


    He closed the top of the bottle with the cork, and the previous fresh scenting from the liquid disappeared.


    He took a sniff of satisfaction, and once he opened his eyes, he saw a somewhat unfamiliar-looking white-haired young man standing in the room.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Gard frowned and remembered him, ''''Why are you here? No one beside Core Members should be allowed here.''''


    ''''The receptionist allowed me. I visited once here before, with Darth.'''' Isaac thought he didn''t remember him, so he tried to freshen up his memory.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Gard hummed and asked, ''''What do you want?''''


    ''''Is it possible to buy Healing Potions?'''' He asked and anxiously waited for the answer.

 Chapter 256 - Gard’s Path

    Chapter 256 - Gard''s Path.


    ''''No.'''' Gard bluntly said.


    ''''Why?'''' Isaac asked with disappointment visible on his face.


    ''''They are made specially for Core Members and for rewards.'''' Gard grabbed the ss bottle and put it on the rack, where dozens of other ss bottles were.


    ''''After sudden appearance of Level Rankings and Colosseum, everyone is desperate for Healing Potions.''''


    ''''All Core Members try to reach top 100 in rankings and make a name for themselves and for the guild.''''


    ''''Also, Colosseum doesn''t forbid the usage of Healing Potions¡ª that''s why they are more important than ever before.''''


    He sighed and looked Isaac right in the eye, ''''Also¡­ One day, you could be our rival, like what happened in Duo Dungeon.''''


    Isaac bit his lip and nodded with understanding, ''''Alright¡­'''' He turned around and walked towards the door.


    When his hand touched the door handle, and was about to leave, Gard spoke again.


    ''''I might not be able to make Healing Potions for you, but there is something I can give you.''''


    Isaac turned around and looked curious but also confused.


    Gard grabbed an antique-looking map from the table and threw it towards Isaac.


    Isaac barely managed to grab the thin map that almost floated away.


    The map had obvious signs of being a treasure map, with a mark X on the center of the map.


    The map showed the vast City of Stronglord and also the Beast Forest, but the X mark was somewhere he didn''t expect.


    It was in the middle of the road that led to the Beast Forest.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac became even more confused and wondered what this was.


    ''''I received it for ss Quest,'''' Gard replied. ''''I haven''t had time to visit that ce yet, and I am not very interested either.''''


    ''''You can have this as thank you.''''


    ''''Thank you?'''' Isaac frowned and wondered why he received words of gratitude from the old man.


    ''''Remember the Fox Beast''s Tail you gave us?'''' He asked.


    Isaac nodded; it was the Rare item he received and sold it for ck Arrow Guild.


    ''''I managed to increase my Potion mastery and managed to increase my Potion making speed by 10%.''''


    Isaac looked surprised and didn''t think it would have such a big effect!


    ''''So, this will be my thanks.'''' Gard said, but then reminded him, ''''Don''t get your hopes up¡­ I don''t know what is hidden there. It might be something useful or useless.''''


    Isaac looked at the map and nodded, ''''I will go check it.''''


    Gard nodded and waved his hand, ''''Now, go. I am busy.''''


    ''''Alright, thanks.'''' Isaac opened the door and closed it behind him.


    Once he left, Gard stopped working for several minutes.


    Ever since he met Isaac, he had a weird feeling in his stomach.


    His Potion Master abilities are trying to force themselves out.


    ''''What is happening¡­?'''' He rubbed his stomach and grimaced.


    ''''Why¡­ Is there something wrong with him, or why are my instincts telling me to improve my skills so I can help him in the future?''''


    He sat down on the chair, and another stomach ache assaulted him.


    ''''Argh¡­'''' He grabbed his stomach and almost puked his organs out, ''''I understand¡­ I will help him to get rid of his curse¡­''''


    Inside him, a certain voice kept speaking with him.


    ''Good¡­ This is what your purpose was¡­ To help make Humanity''s path easier¡­ Helping him will be the first step, but it is by no means thest step.''


    ''''I understand¡­'''' Gard took a deep breath, and his stomach ache disappeared.


    But, a holographic screen was right in front of him that made his path clear.


    [Legacy: Isaac Newton]


    [Legacy Rank: Mythical]


    ¡­


    Isaac exited the building while the yer Luminous waved behind him.


    Her friends smugly talked with her about the festive feeling of the Colosseum, obviously trying to make her jealous, but now she can brag as well.


    She can say that she met with Wraith!


    While walking in the streets, Isaac remembered his discussion with Gard.


    He stored the map in the safest ce he knew, his Inventory.


    He thought it was strange for Gard to give him something valuable like a ss Quest item.


    Isaac knows how important they are, especially because he received his Camouge outfit, which he has been using ever since.


    ''''Well¡­ He seemed to be very obsessed with increasing his Potion Master skills¡­ Maybe he found out that the map was useless for that purpose.'''' He shrugged and could only guess.


    He didn''t n on going to the ce where the treasure map was pointing at. Instead, it was time to visit thest destination.


    World Bank¡­


    After walking past multiple blocks, he reached the area close to the World Bank.


    He managed to see a beautiful and luxurious bank that screamed the word wealth.


    In and out, yers kept moving rapidly.


    Some looked excited and couldn''t believe the amount of money they received.


    While some were desperate after earning a few cents.


    Remembering how difficult it was to earn those White Coins made them even more desperate.


    There was a way to gain wealth, but to do that, they needed to increase their levels somehow and manage to hunt Beasts before other yers did.


    Beast Forest was always fully packed with yers, making hunting extremely difficult.


    Some of the weaker yer hasn''t even gotten one kill in their stay in Beast Forest.


    Also, after killing the Beast, they need to gather somehow the items the Beast drops before they get stolen or get themselves killed by other jealous yers.


    The poor yers looked at the rich yers with obvious jealousy and desperately wanted to be like them.


    Isaac walked past the jealous yers and reached the entrance of the World Bank.


    He managed only to see the lounge area, but it was massive.


    There was a waiting room in the lounge area that was made out of soft and expensive-looking couches and tables.


    The yers that were waiting for their turn almost fell asleep.


    They have never felt asfortable.


    On the other end of the lounge area, two stairway goes straight to the second floor, which was reserved for Nobles and truly wealthy customers.


    Next to the stairs, hundreds of counters were located.


    Behind the counters, NPCs talked with nervous-looking yers that were sitting on the other side of the counter.


    Most of the discussions only took several minutes before the yer left the counter with either excited or despairing faces.

 Chapter 257 - World Bank Account

    Chapter 257 - World Bank ount.


    After seeing all the counters being full, Isaac went to the waiting area, where dozen other yers were already waiting.


    They were either enjoying the soft cushioning of the couch or reading magazines found on the tables.


    Isaac quickly found a ce to sit at. He was alone on the couch, where he decided to sit, while other couches around him were filled with yers.


    The yers noticed him arriving and looked surprised to see his face, but that was the only thing that attracted their attention.


    They couldn''tpletely pinpoint who he could be because Isaac''s face was still somewhat unknown, and the only way Fist managed to know who he was was because of the ss and a look that resembled a lot of the face seen in the Stream Clip.


    Especially the white hair and outfit.


    For some reason, nametags weren''t visible inside World Bank, making it even harder for others to know his identity.


    Isaac thought that it was a safety mechanic to deposit or withdraw money safely without other yers targeting them because they knew their yer tag.


    Isaac grabbed a magazine from the table and casually started reading, but the first page talked about yesterday''s party.


    Most of the yers looked very interested while reading about the royal party, and so was Isaac.


    The article talked about the Royal Family mostly, but at the bottom of the page, there was something about Godly and Mythical Legacy Carrier appearing at the party.


    When other yers saw it, they were utterly shocked and couldn''t believe that there were already yers that had received those kinds of Legacies!


    They felt incredible envy and tried to find their identity but couldn''t find it anywhere.


    ''Godly Legacy Carrier¡­ Right, Luna got one.'' Isaac thought. While they were talking, she mentioned about receiving the Legacy from Hecate, and Isaac was rather shocked but thought it would make sense.


    Half an hourter and after finishing reading the magazine.


    One of the counters became empty, and Isaac saw that no one had noticed it yet.


    He closed the magazine and put it back on the table before standing up and casually walking towards the counter.


    Few of the yers noticed it and debated whether they should try running and stealing the counter from the white-haired youth, but their thoughtssted too long, and they noticed they would never make it in time.


    They could only sigh with frustration and wait for another counter to be empty.


    Isaac arrived at the counter and sat down.


    ''''Wee to World Bank of Stronglord¡ª how may I help you?'''' A professional-looking NPC asked with a somewhat pleasant voice.


    He was blond-haired with sses and a suit that fit him nicely.


    ''''Umm¡­'''' Isaac didn''t know how the Bank''s in White Online worked and wished for NPC to exin how the Bank operates little bit better.


    The NPC saw his dilemma and continued talking, ''''Do you want to deposit, withdraw, apply for a loan or make your own World Bank ount?''''


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac pondered and thought that making his own ount sounds nice.


    ''''ount.'''' He replied.


    The NPC nodded.


    He didn''t even need to do anything after suddenly a holographic screen appeared in front of Isaac.


    [Name:]


    [Age:]


    [Credit Card:]


    [Number:]


    Isaac quickly wrote his name, which was Isaac Whitelock.


    He knew instantly that his ount would be connected with his real-life bank ount.


    Once he finished filling up all the spots.


    The Holographic Screen disappeared.


    ''''Do you wish to deposit or withdraw?'''' The NPC asked politely.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac pondered for a minute and decided to ask, ''''What use does it have?''''


    The NPC smiled and said, ''''If you decide to deposit. Your money will bepletely safe, without worry about having bad luck and losing all your White Coins after death or getting robbed.''''


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac knew that yers could lose White Coins if they died, but that needs some really bad luck.


    Also, if he dies, he has a lot bigger concerns than White Coins, like losing his Legacy.


    But, he could get robbed by Thief ss yers, they have be infamous for doing it, and he can already guess that they are going on a rampage.


    ''''Sure, I will deposit 50000 White Coins,'''' Isaac replied.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [You Deposited 50000 White Coins On Isaac Whitelock''s World Bank ount!]


    ''''Thank you, sir.'''' The NPC bowed, and that was a signal for Isaac to leave; there were many impatient yers already waiting.


    Isaac stood up, and when he was walking away from the counters, behind him, three yers rushed towards the counter, and the yer with the highest agility stat managed to reach the seat first.


    That yer, of course, didn''t forget to boast about it by showing middle fingers towards the slower yers, who had no other choice than to grit their teeth and n their revenge.


    Isaac left the Bank and walked down the long white marbled stairs.


    Once his feet touched the ground, he turned left and slowly strolled in the streets, but then.


    *Gallop*


    He heard the sound of gallopinging in front of him.


    Isaac frowned and saw two horses that were dragging Carriage behinding towards him with full speed!


    His eyes widened in shock, and he quickly jumped out of the road towards the sidewalks and was only a second away from getting ttened by the horses.


    ''''Watch out!'''' The Carriage Driver didn''t forget to shout, ''''You moron!''''


    ''''Tch.'''' Isaac felt annoyed and muttered under his breath, ''''What kind of moron would go full speed on the streets where there could be children or elderly walking¡­ Fucking hell.''''


    Soon, the Carriage came to a stop in front of an antique shop.


    The Carriage''s doors opened, and a fancy-looking noble walked down the short steps.


    He was pretty tall, around 190cm in height, with proper noble attire and a pair of rings on his fingers.


    He had blond hair and a mustache that gave him a look of wealth and nobility.


    The noble looked right in front of him at the antique shop and tightened his cor before entering the somewhat ordinary-looking shop.


    The Carriage Driver took a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and started smoking.


    The Horses had no other choice than inhale the smokeing from the cigarettes, and because of that, they became restless.


    ''''Quiet!'''' The Carriage Driver used his whip andshed on their buttocks, which made the horses silent.

 Chapter 258 - Jaeger’s Business

    Chapter 258 - Jaeger''s Business.


    Inside the antique shop.


    The noble with the name of Andrew Syrward walked towards the front desk.


    Once he was in front of the desk, he was about to ring the bell, but then a door in the back room opened, and an old man with a somewhat muscr body appeared.


    Above him, a yer tag was floating.


    [Jaeger]


    ''''Ah, you are here.'''' Jaeger walked towards the desk and noticed the noble, whom he had been waiting for nearly an hour by now.


    ''''Yes, do you have the item?'''' Andrew didn''t do small talk and asked for the item he came for.


    ''''Yes¡­'''' Jaeger crouched and took a box from below the desk and put it on top of the desk, right in front of Andrew.


    Andrew started carrying the box and was about to leave, but then he heard the old man''s aged voice.


    ''''Excuse me, sir, can you wait for a second?'''' Jaeger asked calmly.


    Andrew frowned and waited for the elderly man to say his business to him.


    ''''I have a certain business idea¡­'''' Jaeger grabbed a notebook from the desk and opened it, ''''I have ns of opening my Guild, which is specially for Master ss users¡­ You must know how useful they are.''''


    Andrew nodded but didn''t understand what that had to do with him.


    ''''If that Guild bes big enough¡­ It can revolutionize the way of making money.'''' Jaeger exined calmly, and once he finished telling his business idea, he waited calmly for Andrew''s answer.


    ''''Without money, that idea is useless.'''' Andrew was once again about to leave, but it was what Jaeger waited for.


    ''''Well¡­ With your help, it might not be a useless idea.'''' Jaeger smiled after seeing the noble once again stopping.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Andrew turned around to look at the old man, ''''Is that so? How are you nning to fight against Top Guild''s territories? They have a big headstart.''''


    ''''I thought about opening the shop in Noble Layer.'''' Jaeger quickly continued before getting interrupted, ''''I can take orders from yers via forums, etc, and nobles could be very interested in our products.''''


    Andrew finally had a tinge of interest in his face, ''''How are you nning to get Master sses to join your Guild, with the help of money?''''


    Jaeger shook his head, ''''You are aware that the yers aren''t exactly¡­ From here?''''


    Andrew nodded and knew about the mysterious ce where yers were from.p an da no v el


    ''''My subordinates from that ce have started recruiting Master sses, and we already managed to get a Level 30 Trap Master to join our Guild.''''


    Andrew nodded, andst important question remained, ''''How much would you need?''''


    Jaeger sighed in relief and saw the finish line in the distance.


    ''''1 million White Coins.'''' That amount of money would be unreal for most of the yers, but Jaeger knew that amount of money was nothing for Nobles.


    Just like he expected, Andrew''s face didn''t change.


    ''''Only that much?''''


    Jaeger smiled and nodded.


    ''''I can give that much, but you need to repay the amount within one month. Otherwise you need to pay double the amount back.''''


    Jaeger nodded and thought it would make sense.google p an da no v el


    But Andrew wasn''t done.


    ''''Also, I want a 25% share of every product sold.''''


    Jaeger became silent and thought about it.


    He bit his lip and nodded, ''''Alright.'''' He needed Andrew more than he needed them.


    Andrew took a money pouch from his pocket and took one white-colored coin from there.


    He put it on Jaeger''s old palm and said, ''''That coin is worth 1 million.''''


    Jaeger looked at the fancy-looking coin and knew the value this coin had.


    In the coin, an outline of a face was shown, which was resembling the lot of Emperor''s face.


    It was the most expensive coin in the Stronglord Empire.


    When he was about to leave the shop, Andrew turned around and said, ''''I will keep an eye on your business¡­ I will give your Guild one of my Family''s buildings, and I will talk with Emperor about your Guild moving to Noble Layer.''''


    ''''Thank you, sir.'''' Jaeger bowed respectfully, and soon, the door opened and closed.


    After seeing the noble leaving, he cheered silently, ''''Yes¡­ The first steppleted.''''


    ¡­


    Outside the shop.


    Andrew grimaced after the puff of smoke reached his nose.


    He waved his hand, trying to get rid of the smoke. With displeasure, he looked at the Carriage Driver, who didn''t seem to care.


    Andrew, with annoyance opened the door to the carriage and entered.


    ''''Let''s go.'''' He said impatiently. search p an da no v el


    The Carriage Driver looked annoyed and had to throw away the cigarette.


    *Crack*


    With a crack of a whip, the horses started galloping away.


    The Carriage soon started rushing towards their next destination.


    Soon, the Carriage passed a white-haired youth who was walking alone towards almost the same destination as the Carriage.


    Isaac frowned and saw how the Carriage Driver turned his head towards him and smirked.


    ''''I will be waiting for the day when carriages are useless¡­'''' He already smiled at the sight of the Carriage Drivers despairing after their business had run out.


    Soon, Isaac reached the Gates of Stronglord City, and just like before, Carriages and their Drivers were gathered around the area, waiting for anyone to order a ride.


    Most of them noticed Isaac arriving, and after seeing his fancy outfit, they grinned internally.


    ''''Hey, Do you want to rent a driver for 10000 White Coins, what do you say?'''' One of the Carriage Drivers shouted with a grin, ''''One time offer!''''


    Isaac ignored it and went straight towards the gates.


    The Carriage Drivers looked enraged after getting ignored.


    ''''Pay, or you won''t be able toe back, ever again!''''


    ''''Fuck you.'''' Isaac''s words stunned everyone, and once they got over their shock, they wanted to threaten them with their angry red faces, but he had already left the City.


    ''''Tell Guards not to let hime back!''''


    ''''Fucking arrogant yers¡­''''


    While walking further away from the gates, Isaac knew what they were nning to do and simply didn''t care.


    After yesterday, he understood his Legacy''s value and was sure that he would be able to go back to the Stronglord City, and the Carriage Drivers couldn''t do anything about it.


    But for now, he has other worries.


    He grabbed a thin piece of map from his Inventory and sighed, ''''I really hope there is something useful¡­''''

 Chapter 259 - Flower of Dreams

    Chapter 259 - Flower of Dreams.


    Isaac was walking calmly on the dirt road with the lush forests surrounding him.


    His ears perked up every now and then after the sound of beast roaring reached his ears.


    He also heard the sound of battling, which surprised Isaac.


    ''''Some yers are in the Beast Forest¡­ Using the Colosseum''s distraction to their advantage and level up rapidly¡­ Smart.'''' He even felt tempted to try to hunt Beasts by himself, but he had something else to do.


    The thin piece of the map was lying on top of his palm while he was carefully counting the steps he had to make to reach the ce with the X mark.


    Soon, his feet came to a halt as he noticed something in the distance.


    From the dirt road, a flower was sprouting innocently.


    The flower swayed back and forth.


    Isaac looked at the map and was sure that he had reached the ce with the X mark.


    He stored the map inside his Inventory and crouched in front of the flower.


    He carefully unrooted the flower without destroying it.


    Once the flower was carefully standing on top of his palm, it started suddenly glowing and started changing shapes!


    *SWOOSH*


    The flower became a green-colored box with flower patterns on the side.


    ''''It''s light¡­'''' Isaac muttered under his breath and decided to open the box.


    He touched the side of the box and found a tiny button that opened the box.p an da no v el


    *Clink*


    The top of the box became ajar, allowing Isaac barely to peek inside, but then he used his fingers and opened it fully.


    Inside the box, Isaac saw a square-shaped ss box with another flower inside.


    The flower was preserved nicely like it had been taken out from nature only a second ago.


    ''''Another flower?'''' A frown found its way to his face, and he wondered what was so special about the ordinary-looking flower that was mostly in the color of green and had petals in the shade of pink.

    He stored the ss box inside his Inventory and decided to take a look at the items at ater date.


    He stood up and started walking back to the Stronglord.


    This time, he jogged after finding out that it took him nearly an hour to walk to the X mark and didn''t want to spend that much time making the return trip.


    After half an hour, he saw the Gates in the distance.


    Next to the Gates, two Guards suddenly unsheathed their swords and blocked the Gateway.


    Behind the Gates, the Carriage Drivers snickered while looking at Isaac mockingly.


    Isaac frowned and came to a stop.


    ''''You are not permitted to enter¡ª turn around, now!'''' The Guards took a decisive step forwards and shouted.


    Isaac raised his head so that the Guards could see his eyes.search p an da no v el


    The Guards frowned and looked at his beautiful gray eyes, but their eyes soon widened in shock, and their faces pale like they had seen a ghost.


    Under shocked gazes of the Carriage Drivers, they stepped to the side and sheathed their swords.


    Isaac walked past them and entered Stronglord.


    ''''What are you idiots doing?!'''' The Carriage Drivers didn''t look pleased after seeing Isaac entering the City unhindered.


    There were around eight Carriage Drivers around the area, and all of them had the look of displeasure.


    Isaac looked at them and did something that enraged them further.


    He winked with his right eye.


    They couldn''t see it properly, but they thought they also saw a slight smirk on his face.


    They started bothering the Guards, but they didn''t move even an inch, and even though they had to be respectful of the Carriage Drivers and listen to them.


    In their minds, they were nothingpared to Legacy Carriers.

    Inside the real world.


    ''''Isaac?'''' Madison entered the mansion through the front door and saw the quiet mansion.


    Outside the mansion, the servants were busy cleaning and painting the mansion''s walls, which had lost their previous color.


    Inside the mansion, Madison took off her jacket and her shoes.


    Once she reached the living room, which waspletely empty, she heard footsteps nearing her.


    She turned around and saw Sebastian walking down the stairs while carrying two wooden stools.


    ''''Sebastian, do you know where Isaac is?''''


    ''''Young master should be in his room,'''' Sebastian replied and went to the front door.


    He used his elbow and opened the front door, but before leaving the mansion, he bowed towards Madison and then finally left.


    Madison walked up the stairs, all the way to the third floor.


    Once she reached the third floor, she could already see Isaac''s room and the dim light that was shown underneath the door.


    She opened the door and first didn''t see anyone in the room.


    ''''He is not here?'''' She thought aloud, but then she saw something in the bed.


    ''''Oh, he was here.'''' She closed the door and went to bed.


    Once she was next to the bed, she widened her eyes in surprise after noticing the skinsuit.


    ''''What is this..?'''' She touched the soft texture of the skinsuit and wondered what it was made from.


    She had never felt such a sensation before.


    Her gaze was then locked at the headgear covering certain white-haired youth''s eyes.


    *Ring*


    Suddenly her attention shifted to her phone, which suddenly started ringing.


    She took her phone from her pocket and noticed the phone calling from her friend La.


    She epted the phone call and put it in her ear, ''''La, what is it?''''


    ''''Finally, you answered. I visited your mansion, and apparently, you visited thepany?''''


    ''''Yes. I went there with Malcolm, but he has currently something to do, and I have already returned to the mansion.'''' Madison knew that La won''t call for something unimportant, ''''Is something wrong?''''


    ''''No, but Marshall''s daughter, son-inw, and granddaughter hade to visit, and we were invited. Do you want toe?''''


    ''''Why did we get invited?'''' Madison asked with a surprise, ''''I thought they would want to spend time with only them.''''


    ''''Not sure, but Marshall wanted us to be there.''''


    ''''Ah¡­'''' Madison looked at her grandson, who didn''t seem to hurry to log out, ''''Sure, I will be there.''''

 Chapter 260 - Spellcasters Vs. Swordsmen

    Chapter 260 - Spellcasters Vs. Swordsmen.


    After leaving the area that Carriage Drivers upied.


    Isaac continued walking in the empty streets.


    Soon, his feet came to a halt as he saw a strange sight.


    Ten meters away from him, a yers with pink robes and a lip symbol was running like they were possessed.


    Isaac frowned and looked where they ran towards and noticed that the road was taking to the slum area.


    Seeing how they were running made him curious, and Isaac''s adventurous spirit rose as he decided to follow after them.


    He leaped andnded on top of a nearby building.


    He used the roofs of the buildings as his foothold and soon caught up with the yers but stealthily followed after them.


    Once they reached the slums, the pink-robed yers were still running past the abandoned buildings.


    Soon, however, Isaac noticed another strange sight.


    Two different-colored groups were gathered in a spacious area with four abandoned buildings surrounding the ce.


    One of the groups had pink robes, while the other one had blue-robed and a sword symbol on the back.


    Both groups had a single figure in the front as their leader.


    The one wearing pink robes was Guild master of Pink Spellcasters with the name of PinkLotus.


    He had short pink hair with a feminine look on his face and delicate eyebrows and eyshes.


    The one wearing blue robes was a Guild master of Blue Swordsmen with the name of QuickBlue.


    He was an average-looking man with jet ck hair and an athletic build.


    ''''You bastards!'''' QuickBlue shouted after seeing everyone had gathered, ''''You dare to copy our Guild name? Are you courting death?!''''


    PinkLotus roared inughter alongside his followers.


    QuickBlue''s eyebrow twitched in annoyance, and his hand touched the hilt of his sword, ''''Stopughing¡­''''


    PinkLotus wiped his tears and said, ''''We copied you losers? Hahaha, you guys copied us!''''


    ''''Haha!'''' QuickBlueughed mockingly, ''''We were one second faster when we created our Guild!''''


    ''''Lies!'''' PinkLotus looked enraged, alongside his followers.


    ''''Blue fuckers!'''' The members of Pink Spellcasters started shouting.


    ''''Blue color sucks!''''


    ''''Blue? More like Eulb!''''


    After hearing the insults, Blue Swordsmen fought back with their own insults.


    ''''Have you guys looked at the mirror?! You guys look like a gay band!''''


    ''''Pink is inferior red!''''


    ''''Fuck, I almost vomited just at the sight of you!''''


    Rain of insults came from each side.


    While on top of one of the buildings, Isaac looked at the sight with dead-looking eyes.


    ''''Are they idiots?''''


    Soon afterwards, the groups had to catch their breath after insulting for several minutes without stopping.


    ''''Fine¡­ Want to decide this once and for all?!'''' PinkLotus shouted.


    ''''What do you suggest?'''' QuickBlue asked with an exhausted look on his face.


    ''''You Vs. Me. Let''s decide this old school, fight to the death!''''


    ''''Hah, fine by me!'''' QuickBlue unsheathed his sword and confidently grinned, ''''Don''t cry when you lose!''''


    ''''Hah!'''' PinkLotus grabbed a pink-colored cane from his robes and tapped the ground several times, ''''Earth Quake!''''


    Suddenly, the earth around the area started shaking, almost making both sides to fall down on their butts.


    QuickBlue quickly jumped into the air and shouted ''''Sword Victory!'''' The tip of his sword started glowing in a color of light blue.


    Once he finished his sword swing, a ray of sword beam left his sword and rushed straight towards PinkLotus!


    ''''Earth Wall!'''' PinkLotus mmed the cane in front of him, and suddenly a wall made of brownish color appeared in front of him.


    *CRASH*


    The sword ray effortlessly destroyed the earth wall, but when it appeared in front of PinkLotus, he swung his cane and destroyed the weakened sword ray.


    ''He used Earth Wall to decrease the strength of the sword ray and used a cane to finally destroy it¡­ Even though their reasoning for the Guild Wars was utterly idiotic, he is a good yer.''


    But, soonughter escaped his mouth several times after seeing how the groups still threw insults at each other.


    In his eyes, it looked like aedic show.


    But then, one of the pink-robed spellcasters noticed Isaac. She had an adorable face and looked to be around 14s.


    She curiously walked towards the abandoned building and climbed on top, where Isaac was sitting.


    Once she climbed on top of the roof, she sat down next to Isaac, who didn''t mind her sudden appearance.


    ''''Who are you, and what are you doing here?'''' She asked curiously.


    ''''Wraith and I saw themotion, so I decided to check it out,'''' Isaac replied and looked at her yer tag.


    [ILovePink]


    She nodded and thought that the name sounded familiar but couldn''t pinpoint where she heard it.


    ''''Who do you think will win?'''' She asked curiously.


    ''''The swordsman,'''' Isaac replied and stood up.


    ''''Why?'''' ILovePink asked curiously.


    ''''They are fighting in close-quarters¡­ I don''t know why your Guild Master isn''t trying to make a distance to his opponent.''''


    ''''Well, he is an idiot.''''


    ''''Pfft.'''' Aughter escaped Isaac''s mouth after the unexpected wordsing from the girl, who he thought was another idiot belonging to Guild called Pink Spellcasters.


    ''''They will start a Guild War from smallest things.'''' She looked frustrated as she continued, ''''Even if someone identally bumps at them¡­ Sigh.''''


    ''''Why are you part of the Guild then?''''


    ''''Well¡­ They are still my friends, and it is quite fun to be with these idiots.'''' She chuckled, and even though she sometimes hated their idiocy, she still enjoyed theirpany.


    Isaac nodded and turned around to leave.


    ''''You won''t stay to watch who will win?'''' ILovePink turned her body halfway and asked curiously.


    ''''The swordsman will win with the next strike,'''' Isaac said and jumped off the building, suddenly disappearing without leaving any traces behind.


    She widened her eyes in shock and turned around to look at the battle.


    Currently, QuickBlue again destroyed PinkLotus'' Earth Wall and appeared right before him!


    PinkLotus gritted his teeth, and the tip of the cane started glowing in brownish color as he shouted, ''''Earth Birth!''''


    The ground below them started quaking, and everyone could tell that something terrifying was about toe from underneath.


    But then, QuickBlue grinned and shouted, ''''Sword''s Victory!''''


    Once again, the tip of the sword started glowing in light bluish colors.


    PinkLotus widened his eyes in shock and screamed internally, ''I won''t make it in time!''


    ''''Die!'''' QuickBlue swung his sword, and the surroundings became quiet.


    Everyone witnessed how the sword effortlessly sliced through PinkLotus'' throat.


    PinkLotus gritted his teeth, and his eyes looked dead after his head suddenly became airborne and flew straight towards his Guild Members.


    ''''Guild Master!'''' Members of Pink Spellcasters screamed in horror, and one of them managed to catch their Guild Master''s head.


    But then, the head turned pixels alongside the rest of PinkLotus'' body.


    ''''Haha, victory!'''' QuickLotus shout of victory caused ear-deafening screams from his Guild Members.


    ILovePink sighed, ''''Oh¡­ He died again.'''' She pouted after remembering that this was the second time her Guild Master had died.


    Before, he had Resurrection Pearl.


    PinkLotus managed to find it and was excited because of it.


    Especially his Guild Members, but then¡­ He died in an idiotic manner after identally falling down from the cliff and had to use the Pearl to resurrect himself.

 Chapter 261 - Snowflowers

    Chapter 261 - Snowflowers.


    In front of arge five-floor mansion.


    A car entered the premises through the open gates.


    Once the car stopped in front of the front door, a beautiful elderly woman exited the vehicle and saw her friend already waiting for her.


    ''''Madison.'''' La shook hands with Madison.


    ''''La.'''' Madison nodded and looked at the massive mansion, ''''I wonder why we were invited here¡­''''


    ''''One way to find out.'''' La reached the front door and tried to open it.


    Surprisingly, the door wasn''t locked.


    She opened it wide open and entered the mansion with Madison.


    They took off their jackets and shoes.


    Once they were done, they wondered where Marshall and everyone were, but then they heard the distinct sound of talkinging from the massive living room with a firece, several couches, a TV, dining table, and bookshelves.


    Once they reached the living room, they noticed three figures speaking.


    One of them was an old man who still had some signs of handsomeness left. He had grayish hair and with a somewhat wrinkly face.


    The woman he was speaking with was his daughter, Mariah Snowflower. She had a mature feeling around her with a beautiful face and bright blue eyes.


    Her face had a slight smile, which gave her a look of gentleness, but deep inside her eyes, some signs of worry and exhaustion were visible.


    The third figure was a serious-looking man with short ck hair and grayish eyes. His build was quite athletic, with chiseled muscles and broad shoulders.


    He was Snowflower Family''s son-inw, Sin Snowflower.


    Marshall turned his head towards the living room''s entrance and saw two elderly yet beautiful women appearing.


    ''''Madison, La.'''' He stood up and shook their hands with gratitude.


    ''''Marshall.'''' Madison smiled and nodded. She sat down on the couch next to her, and La sat right next to her.


    Marshall sat back down next to his daughter and said, ''''You two must be curious why I asked you two here.''''


    Madison and La nodded.


    Mariah smiled and bowed, ''''My name is Mariah Snowflower. Nice to meet you, madam''s.''''


    ''''Nice to meet you.'''' They greeted back with gentle looks, knowing that she was the one who keptpany with Marshall after her mother and his wife died.


    Sin nodded simply moved his head down and up, trying to imitate nodding motion, but it looked slightly stiff.


    ''''Well then.'''' Marshall locked his hands and started talking, ''''I invited you two for separate reasons.''''


    ''''Oh?'''' Madison and La looked at each other with surprise.


    ''''La, can we talk privately after dinner?'''' He asked with politeness.


    ''''Of course.'''' La nodded and wondered what the reason for such politeness was.


    ''''Madison¡­ Malcolm told me yesterday night about yourpany''s n,'''' Marshall said.


    Madison looked surprised but didn''t think it was weird for him to talk about it with his childhood friend.


    ''''I have a favor to ask from you.'''' Marshall grabbed his fists in a tight hold and said, ''''My granddaughter¡­ She is spending most of the time in White Online, and I hoped you would allow her to enter your Guild even though she isn''t a Master ss user.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Madison had a question, ''''Why didn''t you ask from Malcolm?''''


    ''''Because I know Malcolm would ept.'''' Marshall sighed, ''''I wanted to ask from you because I don''t want to cause an argument between two of you because of this matter.''''


    ''''Ah, right¡­'''' Madison straightened her back and thought about it.


    First, she thought about possible uses his granddaughter would have.


    ''''What is her ss?'''' She asked.


    Marshall looked at her daughter, ''''Mariah?''''


    ''''Spellcaster,'''' Mariah replied and remembered her daughter telling her ss when she started ying the first time.


    Madison nodded, ''''Well¡­ I don''t know.''''


    Marshall sighed and nodded, ''''I understand¡­ It was a selfish request, but I want her to be safe.''''


    ''''Well, can I talk with her?'''' Madison asked, ''''I want to see what kind of person she is.''''


    ''''Of course.'''' Marshall nced at the stairs and said, ''''She is currently unpacking, but she must be done soon.''''


    *Step*


    After the words came out of his mouth, footsteps echoed from the stairs.


    ''''Speak of the devil.'''' Mariah giggled, and her eyes curved, making her look very gentle.


    From the stairs, a beautiful ck-haired young woman appeared. Her bright blue eyes instantly brightened the atmosphere.


    She was wearing a beautiful dress that made her look absolutely lovely.


    The dress was in the color of light blue with snowke patterns. It reached her knees but left the lower half of her legs wide open.


    On her feet, there were two t-strap sandals in color ck, and her delicate-looking toes were peeking through the gaps of the sandals.


    ''''I am done!'''' She replied cheerfully and hopped towards the living room, where everyone was waiting.


    Madison turned her head and widened her eyes in surprise.


    She managed to recognize her from the way of speaking alone, but when she saw her face, she was a hundred percent certain.


    ''''Y-You.'''' Her voice shook.


    Luna came to a stop and blinked innocently, ''''Yes?''''


    Madison stood up, allowing her to see her in the whole glory.


    Luna blinked several times but soon eximed, ''''You are that nicedy from the antique shop!''''


    Madison giggled and covered her mouth, ''''Small world.''''


    Luna hopped towards her, and under the surprised gazes of everyone else in the room, she hugged Madison.


    Madison gently patted her head and asked, ''''How have you been doing?''''


    ''''Good!'''' Luna replied.


    ''''U-Umm, what is this?'''' Marshall asked while looking back and forth between them, ''''You two know each other?''''


    ''''I met this lovelydy in White Online,'''' Madison replied.


    ''''Oh.'''' Marshall was surprised at the coincidence.


    La covered her mouth in surprise, ''''What a coincidence.''''


    Luna stopped hugging her and went towards her parents.


    She sat down right next to Sin and hugged her father''s waist, ''''Daddy, you forgot my shampoo.''''


    ''''I did?'''' Sin looked surprised and gently patted his daughter''s head, ''''I think I packed it in the wrong bag¡ª I will check it outter.''''


    Luna nodded vigorously and asked from Madison, ''''Why have youe here?'''' She spoke her mind out and didn''t n to sound rude, but it would sound blunt to many.


    But Madison didn''t mind and only giggled, ''''Hehe. Your grandfather asked if you could join my Guild, and I said you could.''''


    Marshall looked surprised and sighed in relief.


    ''''Guild?'''' Luna pouted and said firmly, ''''I don''t wanna!''''


    ''''Cough!'''' Marshall started coughing heavily.


    Madison gently smiled and asked, ''''Why?''''


    ''''I want to keep adventuring, like Isaac!'''' A shout left her mouth and her inted cheeks told everyone that she was currently being serious.


    Sin snapped his head towards her and asked with anxiousness, ''''Isaac? Who?''''


    Mariah covered her mouth in shock, ''''L-Luna, don''t tell me¡­''''


    After hearing the name, Madison thought about her grandson but shook her head and thought it couldn''t be him.


    ''''He is my friend.'''' Luna replied and jumped on top of the couch, ''''He is very awesome and became super famous after defeating many evil Orcs while fighting on top of giant Centipede! Isn''t that extremely exciting?!''''


    She sat down with an excited look, ''''I also adventured with him once¡ª it was very fun.''''


    Mariah wanted to stop her from getting excited too much because she had surgery not long ago and still had Winter Illness.


    ''''One day, I will do the same.'''' Luna smiled and imagined herself fighting on top of arge creature.

 Chapter 262 - Stupid Winter lllness...

    Chapter 262 - Stupid Winter lllness...


    Inside Marshall''s Mansion.


    ''''Yes, I have a scar.'''' Luna showed a little bit of her skin, allowing Madison to see a scar on her waist.


    ''''It will fade away¡ª no need to worry,'''' Madison said gently and looked away from the scar.


    Luna smiled and nodded vigorously, ''''Doctors said the same thing. Apparently, it will fade away till it is almost impossible to see.''''


    Madison nodded, ''''No worries, it didn''t diminish your beauty even the slightest.''''


    ''''Hehe.'''' Luna giggled and covered her scar.


    Madison looked towards the upstairs and wondered what Marshall asked from La.


    After dinner, they left for his office to discuss about his proposition.


    In the kitchen, Mariah and Sin washed tes while whispering with each other.


    ''''Did your grandsone to visit?'''' Luna asked curiously and remembered the rocky rtionship between Madison and her son.


    Madison nodded and smiled, ''''He is currently visiting.''''


    ''''That''s nice.'''' Luna nodded and asked, ''''How did the first meeting go?''''


    Madison wryly smiled and crossed her legs, ''''Well¡­ We were actuallyte for the meeting.''''


    ''''Oh no.'''' Luna had a thought that the first meeting didn''t go too well, but then Madison continued.


    ''''ne arrived earlier than expected, but still, the first meeting was quite pleasurable.'''' Madison tapped the side of her thigh and moved strands of hair over her ear, ''''He wasn''t someone I expected, but he is definitely our grandson.''''


    Luna smiled and patted her knees with excitement, ''''I would like to meet him!''''


    ''''Well, do you want to visit us tomorrow?'''' Madison asked.


    Luna turned around and shouted, ''''Mom, can I go?''''


    ''''Sure, honey,'''' Mariah replied and wiped the te with a towel.


    ''''Heh.'''' Luna smugly replied and knew that when her mother was busy doing something, her concentration was usually on the task.


    She probably wasn''t even aware that she agreed.


    Madison smiled and said, ''''Well, I guess we will meet you there.''''


    Luna nodded vigorously, but then, from the corner of her eyes, she noticed the nk screen of the TV changing.


    [Breaking News]


    A text appeared on the TV, and colors shed before an excited-looking middle-aged woman appeared on the screen.


    Madison curiously looked at the TV and saw the text.


    Her brows furrowed, and she wondered what it was about.


    On TV, the middle-aged woman opened her mouth, ''''White Online update was something no one expected!''''


    Luna''s eyes sparkled after hearing the name of White Online.


    On TV, three pictures appeared.


    One of the pictures was about the massive Colosseum that was packed with people.


    The second picture was about a beautiful building made of golden and white-colored marble.


    The third picture was about doors made of stone.


    ''''These pictures are about World Arena, World Bank, and Realm Portals!'''' The middle-aged woman shifted the papers in her hands with trembling hands and tried to continue as soon as possible.


    ''''World Arena appeared and had been the center of the attention with NPC and yer poption, and there is good reason for it. So far, many yers have been worried about dying and losing hard-earned XPs and items, but in the World Arena, you don''t need to worry about it!''''


    ''''If you lose there, you won''t die. Instead, there will be a losing penalty of being unable to move for 1 hour!''''


    ''''The 1 hour will be spent inside the resting room, where no one has ess to, which makes it very safe!''''


    ''''For winners in World Arena, there will be rewards¡­ Wheel of Victory decides what the winner gets, and some had received nothing but 100 White Coins, but a yer called Fist received Legacy Quest!''''


    On the TV Screen, countless pictures were shown about the Colosseum, and it clearly showed how busy it was.


    ''I want to be there¡­'' Luna rested her cheek on her palm and sighed deeply, ''I wonder if he is there¡­.''


    Soon, the middle-aged woman started talking about World Bank.


    ''''Biggest Update was definitely World Bank.'''' She took a deep breath, and even she wanted to quit her job and try her luck in White Online, but she knew her gaming talent was nonexistent.


    For News Anchors, there will be much more work in the future.


    Luna kept waiting with a nervous heartbeat, ''World Bank? What is that?''


    The middle-aged woman continued, ''''From now on. It is possible to change White Coins into real-life currency! So far, you can only transfer White Coins into real-life currency, but there has been no news about able to transfer real-life currency into White Coins.''''


    ''''There is a chance that it won''t be possible because Arthur obviously doesn''t want the game to be pay-to-win.''''


    Luna widened her eyes in amazement, ''''Woooow¡­''''


    Madison smiled and said, ''''World is changing.''''


    Luna twiddled with her fingers and nodded, ''''Yes¡­ It is.''''


    ''''What is wrong?'''' Madison asked after seeing Luna looking down for some reason.


    ''''It''s just that¡­'''' Luna wanted to open her mouth but knew that no words woulde out.


    She shook her head and forced a smile, ''''It''s nothing. I am feeling slightly sleepy. I will go rest. It was nice to meet you.'''' She did a final hug and left the living room.


    Madison looked confused after seeing the energetic and lovely girl bing sad for some reason.


    On the third floor.


    Luna entered her room and saw the spacious room that was way toorge for someone like her.


    In the corner of her eyes, tears were brimming, but she quickly wiped them before they could start pouring down.


    She went to her soft andfy-looking bed and sat right down.


    On top of the small table, her Legendary VR Helmet was connected to several wires.


    She looked at the Helmet for several seconds before shaking her head and lying on the bed.


    Around the bed, the empty and spacious room made Luna feel empty inside.


    After living in the hospital room for several months, the current room made her feel overwhelmed.


    ''''World is changing¡­ But, I won''t be there to see it¡­'''' She bit her soft-looking lip, and the tears poured down this time.


    With a sobbing tone, she continued, ''''Stupid Winter Illness¡­ It was stupid of me to think about getting cured¡­ It is impossible to get cured.''''


    She touched her chest and felt her heart beating ever so slowly.


    Even though the surgery stopped her from feeling the pain for the next several months and slowed down the spreading of Winter Illness.


    But, it was still inside her.


    Slowly creeping towards her heart.


    Once the Winter Illness reaches her heart, it is the end of her.


    Her heart will stop, and not even magic could save her.

 Chapter 263 - Darkside Vs. Queen Diana

    Chapter 263 - Darkside Vs. Queen Diana.


    In the Colosseum.


    The room, where yers who decided to be diators were bustling with activity.


    Most of the yers sat on the couches and looked at the matches being broadcasted from the holographic screen that was floating in the air.


    Around one of therger couches, ck Arrow''s Core Members had gathered.


    Darth was looking at the current fight with boredom.


    yers that were currently fighting were one of the weaker sides, and even spectators looked bored after seeing such high-level fights only a moment ago.


    Queen Diana was sitting right next to him with straightened back, looking very princess-like.


    Her beautiful face and attractive body caught many eye pairs, but none of them dared to look for too long; after all, she was one of the most famous yers in Stronglord.


    Famous Guild Master of ck Arrow Guild!


    But then, a voice that made everyone''s ears irritated appeared.


    ''''Hahaha¡­'''' The voiceughed, and soon the figure became visible after appearing right in front of Queen Diana out of nowhere, ''''Wow, I thought I wouldn''t be able to meet the Queen Bitch, but here she is¡­''''


    Core Members of ck Arrow looked enraged after hearing his words.


    ''''Fuck off, Darkside!'''' Darth stood up angrily and shouted at the infamous Guild Leader of the League of Assassins.


    Darkside''sughing face turned into anger, ''''Darth¡­ Don''t think even for a second that I have forgotten about the Duo Dungeon¡­


    Ah, right, where is that fucker called Wraith? That cunt has been making a name for himself¡ª it would be such a shame if he would be humiliated in front of thousands of spectators.''''


    ''''Back off.'''' Darth''s cold voice oozed with killing intent.


    Darkside innocently took a step backwards, and suddenly a dozen individuals appeared out of nowhere and gathered around him.


    Queen Diana seemed calm and asked, ''''What do you want?''''


    Darkside smirked like he had been waiting for that question, ''''Queen Bitch, do you want to fight? Just you and me¡­'''' He licked his lip and brazenly looked at her from head to toe.


    ''''Why would I do that?'''' Queen Diana asked with a raised eyebrow.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Darkside chuckled and snapped his fingers.


    *Snap*


    Suddenly, a floating camera appeared on top of his head that was recording Queen Diana.


    ''He is streaming!'' Darth and the rest of the Core Members grimaced.


    ''''You can, of course, refuse¡­ But, then everyone knows that you are nothing but cowardly bitch.''''


    Darth angrily took a step forwards and shouted, ''''You think you are worthy enough? Fucking hell, even I am enough to defeat you!''''


    Next to Darkside, a man with a dark-colored mask and ck robes took a step forward.


    [Deathsong]


    Underneath his mask, terrifying-looking eyes red at Darth.


    ''''Hmph, little doggy should stand down.'''' Darth increased the pressure around him and forced Deathsong to take a step back.


    ''''Grr¡­'''' Deathsong suddenly unsheathed his dagger, but Darkside stopped him.


    ''''Heh, easy now.'''' Darkside grinned and whispered something in Deathsong''s ear that caused him to stop moving.


    ''''Fine.'''' Queen Diana stood up and said, ''''I will fight you.''''


    ''''Guild Master?!'''' Darth eximed, and even other Core Members didn''t think it was a good idea.


    Darkside grinned and nced at his chat.


    [*****: Hahaha, kill that bitch!]


    [*****: Kukuku, humiliate her, please!!!]


    [*****: Bitch is about to get destroyed!]


    [*****: This is the end of ck Arrow!]


    ''''Colosseum Interface.'''' He said with a grin, and suddenly brown-colored holographic screen popped out.


    [Ranking]


    [Challenge]


    [Guild War]


    Darkside pressed Challenge and wrote Queen Diana''s name.


    Once Queen Diana''s name popped up, he pressed [Send]


    In front of Queen Diana, a notification popped out, and she didn''t even look as she pressed [ept]


    Darkside turned around to leave, but before that, he said bone-chilling words, ''''Good luck¡­ Kukuku, I will enjoy this.''''


    He and the rest of the League of Assassins left.


    Darth snapped his head towards Diana and shouted, ''''You shouldn''t have epted it! He has obviously ulterior motive!''''


    Queen Diana sat down and said, ''''I still have my pride as Queen.''''


    Darth looked frustrated, and when he saw the faces of other Core Members, he understood that no one was pleased with the sudden turn of events.


    ''''What is the use of the pride if it makes us lose everything we have worked for.'''' Tobi said with an unpleasant look, ''''If you lose. The news will spread in Stronglord, and it is not a good time for it.''''


    Darth nodded, ''''Our Guild started to be more popr after Duo Dungeon, and this must be Darkside''s desperate attempt to salvage the situation.''''


    ''''We needed an only week to be a Guild that is way above the level of League of Assassins.'''' Tobi sighed and rubbed his forehead, ''''Now, you have to win.''''


    Queen Diana looked calm as she replied, ''''It''s fine¡­ I will handle this.''''


    Darth wanted to believe that Queen Diana would win, but he had a hunch that Darkside won''t be ying fairly.


    ¡­


    In front of the Colosseum.


    The area was crowded with NPCs and yers that were trying to enter the Colosseum through the front doors.


    Suddenly, a white-haired youth entered the Colosseum from the front doors after waiting in the line for nearly half an hour.


    Isaac once again entered the Colosseum.


    ''''In the end¡­ I returned.'''' He murmured while walking towards the desk, where handsome-looking diator was waiting.


    He noticed the white-haired youth walking towards him and instantly straightened his back. He remembered the Legacy Carrier he met a few hours ago.


    Isaac nodded at him and entered surprisingly the left path, which leads to the diator Area.


    The diator looked surprised and murmured, ''''Is he nning to fight¡­'''' His eyes widened in shock after realizing what it could mean.


    Isaac didn''t n necessarily to fight because he still didn''t know the losing penalty, but he wanted to see the diator Area and maybe will find out what the losing penalty was.


    After reaching the end of the corridor, he reached the open space with hundreds of yers sitting on couches with their gazes locked on the floating holographic screens.


    Isaac looked surprised to see there being items that resembled real-world''s TVs.

 Chapter 264 - First Appearance

    Chapter 264 - First Appearance.


    In the Colosseum.


    The spectator area for yers who wanted to be diators were bustling with activity.


    Currently, most of them were looking straight at the floating holographic screens, where the endgame of the current battle was happening.


    Isaac was sitting on one of the chairs, with dozens of yers around him watching the match.


    Around him, he heard different kinds of conversations.


    ''''So weak. I would be able to defeat them with ease.'''' One of the yers with ordinary brown hair said with certainty.


    ''''Look at him¡ª what the hell is he doing?'''' One of the yers pointed at the screen.


    Or, more precisely, at the yer who was holding Flintlock Pistol.


    Isaac also noticed him because he was part of the same ss as him, but the skill difference was like heaven and earth.


    The yer''s way of holding Flintlock Pistol was very awkward, evenical.


    He didn''t stretch his arms forwards; instead, only halfway, with his elbows pointing behind him.


    Once he fired, his posture became a mess, and he almost fell down on his butt.


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' The yers around him roared inughter like they were watching a clown making fun of himself.


    Isaac facepalmed and didn''t want to watch any longer.


    He didn''t like seeing yers making fun of someone with the same ss as him, but the yer had iting.


    Isaac knew that anyone could learn how to shoot properly with enough training, but there are yers that think they are Anime Protagonists who will stand on top of the world without any training.


    That yer was one of them.


    Since he started ying, he didn''t bother training, instead went to battle against wild animals without any training.


    As child, he had used Slingshot, which allowed him to survive fairly well, but once he bought Flintlock Pistol, hardships started.


    Because everyone was saying Marksman ss was bad, he came to that conclusion as well.


    No matter what he did, he could barely kill anyone and med the ss for almost falling down with each shot.


    He never thought it was his own fault for not using the gun properly.


    And currently, he was paying for his ignorance and arrogance.


    The yer was being pushed backwards, and in his barrel, only one bullet was left.


    He noticed a Swordsman rushing towards him with his sword above his head, ready to do an overhand sh.


    ''''Die!'''' The yer shouted and squeezed the trigger with an awkward stance.


    *BANG!*


    ''''Ah!'''' The recoil started spreading all around his body, and he couldn''t stay standing any longer and fell down on his butt.


    ''''Argh¡­'''' The yer looked enraged while looking at the Flintlock Pistol on his hand, ''''Shit ss! Fuck!''''


    *CLANK*


    His eyes widened after hearing the sudden sound.


    The sound almost sounded like two swords colliding with each other, sending sparks flying around.


    But, instead, the sound came from the swordsman, who swung his sword and deflected the bullet with incredible timing!


    ''''What?!'''' The yer couldn''t believe his eyes, ''''You are cheating!''''


    ''''Hah, pathetic!'''' The swordsman had enough of his usations and swung his sword, which sent the yer''s head flying away.


    Instantly, the separated head and body were teleported away from the Colosseum''s Arena.


    The yer didn''t die. However, he has a 1-hour waiting time in the resting room ahead of him.


    Back in the diator''s Spectator Room.


    ''''Pfft.'''' The yers couldn''t contain theirughter.


    ''''After losing, 1-hour cooldown from ying is a little bit too light for such bad yers.'''' One of the yers said mockingly.


    Isaac perked up his ears and thought with shock, ''1-hour cooldown? That''s the punishment? Isn''t that little bit too light?''


    He rubbed his chin and debated whether he should try out fighting in the Colosseum.


    It could turn out to be quite fun.


    He, after all, likes to fight against a strong opponent.


    Soon, the holographic screen showed only one yer left standing in the arena.


    The yers around Isaac slow pped and didn''t look that impressed by the match; instead, the next phase was what interested them most.


    One of the Arena''s doors opened, and the beautiful diator reappeared with a gentle smile that brightened up the atmosphere.


    ''''It is time for Wheel of Victory!''''


    *CHEERS!*


    The spectators erupted in cheers with loud drumming soundsing from the drums.


    *Doom Dun Dun Doom Dun Dun*


    The yer who won looked excited and didn''t wait any longer and started spinning the wheel around.


    Soon, all the winning options became blurry as the wheel spun around rapidly.


    ''''Gold¡­ Gold¡­ Gold¡­'''' The yer prayed for the wheel to stop at the color of gold.


    The beautiful diator waited with a gentle smile, and soon the wheel became slower and slower.


    Everyone''s heartbeat started beating in nervousness.


    Slowly¡­


    The wheel slowed down.


    Soon, the wheel came to a halt, and the color became visible.


    The beautiful diator sadly smiled, ''''The wheel stopped at the color of gray, which means no prizes!''''


    ''''NO!'''' The yer shouted with disbelief, ''''This is rigged¡ª what the hell is this shit?!''''


    ''''Oh,nguage!'''' The beautiful diator snapped her fingers.


    *Snap*


    The yer disappeared from the Arena with a rain of curses.


    The spectators felt pity for the yer, but it didn''t take long for them to forget about it.


    Inside the diator''s Spectator Room.


    The yers wereughing mockingly.


    They felt satisfied for someone having even worse luck than they had.


    ''''Oof, such terrible luck.'''' Isaac wryly smiled and could only guess the amount of rage the yer was having currently.


    He had to fight equally strong yers and somehow won, just to receive nothing.


    *Shivers*


    Out of nowhere, Isaac''s body trembled as he felt shivers running down his back.


    He turned his head around and saw five eye pairs looking straight at him in the distance.


    He narrowed his eyes and wondered why they looked at him with such hostility, but then he recognized them!


    ''''Finally¡­'''' One of the five young men said with a chilly voice. He had short red hair, an average-looking face, and a not very athletic body, but not bad either.


    On top of his head, his yer Tag was floating.


    [Smander]


    Next to him, a young man with golden hair and bright blue eyes was looking at Isaac with hostility.


    He was wearing a heavy armory with an iron sword and shield.


    [KnightOfHoliness]


    Next to him, two of his friends were sitting in a simr armory.


    [KnightOfProtection]


    [KnightOfCharming]


    They touched the hilts of their swords and red at Isaac like they were trying to kill him with their stares.


    Next to them, another tall young man with ordinary brown hair was sitting with anger visible on his face.


    He scanned Isaac from head to toe, and before, he couldn''t see Isaac properly, but now he could, and he didn''t look like someone he expected, but his hatred increased in intensity after seeing him.


    [TomValeo]


    Wraithless had made their first appearance!

 Chapter 265 - Wraith Vs. Wraithless

    Chapter 265 - Wraith Vs. Wraithless.


    ''''Fuck¡­'''' Isaac cursed under his breath and stood up under heavy hatred-filled gazes.


    When he was about to leave, he heard words that stopped him from leaving.


    ''''Wraith, my old friend!'''' KnightOfHoliness stood up and innocently smiled.


    The room became quiet after his words.


    The yers looked surprised and turned their heads towards the white-haired youth, and on top of the head, the name [Wraith] was visible.


    ''''It''s him¡­'''' The yers started whispering with each other.


    ''''So-called Pioneer of Marksmen ss¡­''''


    ''''Marksman ss is still shitty. Remember the fool that just lost in the arena? Marksman ss will be useless, and it won''t change without any buffs.''''


    ''''True¡­ But, you must have seen the clip?''''


    ''''¡­''''


    Many Guilds present in the room turned their hungry-looking eyes towards Isaac.


    Their eyes showed obvious greed for getting Isaac into their Guild; in their eyes, he was like a valuable gem.


    Members of the ck Arrow guild looked surprised.


    ''''Wraith¡­'''' Darth was surprised to see the white-haired youth, whom he hadn''t met after Duo Dungeon, but had chatted with regrly.


    ''''Wraith-chan¡­'''' Queen Diana murmured and red at KnightOfHoliness, who obviously had bad intentions towards the white-haired youth.


    In her eyes, KnightOfHoliness looked a lot like Darkside.


    ''''Wraith, remember me?'''' KnightOfHoliness asked innocently, but deep inside his eyes, deep-rooted hate was visible.


    ''''I do,'''' Isaac replied.


    ''''Coward,'''' KnightOfProtection muttered under his breath. Against Isaac, he couldn''t even do anything after getting shot in the head.


    The way he died enraged him greatly, but dly; his family was rtively wealthy that allowed him to buy another VR Helmet, but his parents weren''t that pleased.


    But, after today''s update, his parents started encouraging him to keep ying.


    He could focus on earning money, but he couldn''t rest before he had gotten rid of his demons.


    A demon who goes by the name of Wraith.


    KnightOfCharming clenched his fist, andst time, he couldn''t catch him, but this time, he won''t let him escape.


    TomValeo''s friendship with his long-time friends was somewhat ruined; even though it was his fault, he med Isaac for it and didn''t n to stop before he licked his boots.


    The yers who saw the scene were certain that they weren''t friends.


    The way they kept looking at Wraith was one of hate.


    Only one thing was in their minds.


    Drama!


    Most of them opened their recording equipment.


    Darth stood up with his bow in his right hand.


    ''''Good¡­'''' KnightOfHoliness murmured and asked, ''''Well then, Wraith, do you want to fight in the arena?''''


    Isaac narrowed his eyes and asked, ''''Why would I do that?''''


    KnightOfHoliness shrugged and said, ''''I just want to test the strength of famous Wraith. Nothing else, but if you are insecure about the strength of Marksman ss¡­ You can, of course, refuse.''''


    His smile looked innocent, but it was clear he wasn''t going to take no for an answer.


    The yers started whispering, and if Isaac indeed refused, it would mean that he wasn''t confident in his own ss.


    Everyone thought that Wraith would show the true power of Marksman ss, but if he refused now, the amount of hate he would receive from both Marksman ss yers and other yers wasn''t going to be small.


    Isaac felt like he was trapped inside a prison cell.


    The res from nearby yers made his skin itchy and ufortable.


    ''''So, are you going to ept?'''' KnightOfHoliness did one final push.


    ''''Fine¡­'''' Isaac replied while grinding his teeth.


    ''''Good.'''' He replied with arger smile, ''''diator Interface.''''


    He pressed [Challenge] and wrote Isaac''s yer Tag on it.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    [KnightOfHoliness Has Challenged You!]


    [ept] [Reject]


    Isaac pressed to ept, and the holographic screen disappeared into a cloud of smoke.


    ''''See you in the arena~.'''' KnightOfHoliness waved his hand and left the room with the rest of the members of Wraithless, but they didn''t forget to send another hateful re in Isaac''s direction.


    Isaac felt like a massive mountain was just ced on top of his shoulders.


    ''''You are indeed famous.'''' He heard a familiar voice, which he could recognize from anywhere.


    He didn''t even have to look who spoke, ''''Darth.''''


    He turned his head and saw the handsome ck-haired youth walking toward him.


    Darth put his hand forwards and shook hands with him, ''''Old friends, eh?''''


    Isaac wryly smiled and shook his head, ''''I have some history with them.''''


    ''''I can see that.'''' Darth replied and patted his shoulder, ''''They are plotting something.''''


    ''''I know.'''' Isaac knew it by now, ''''Well, not that it matters.''''


    ''''Maybe so.'''' Darth stepped to the side and showed a path towards couches, where ck Arrow members were.


    Isaac walked with him towards the ck Arrow Members.


    ''''Wraith.'''' Queen Diana smiled and stood up.


    Isaac shook hands with her and nodded toward other Core Members.


    ''''Julia.'''' He nodded at yer, who goes by the name of Colorful, who was also his former ssmate.


    Colorful smiled and was about to say his real-life name but remembered that he didn''t want anyone else to know about it.


    ''''Hey, how are you doing?'''' She quickly changed her wording and instead asked how he was doing.


    ''''Good.'''' Isaac sat down right next to her, with their knees touching each other.


    Colorful became stiff with an instant red face.


    Darth sat next to Isaac and sighed, ''''Sigh, Wraith, howe you haven''t visited ck Arrow Guild Building?''''


    ''''I did,'''' Isaac replied with a chuckle.


    ''''Oh, when?'''' Darth looked surprised, ''''When we were on Forest of Unknown, or?''''


    ''''Nah, like.'''' Isaac opened the interface to check the time and said, ''''Like two hours ago.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Darth eximed, ''''What were you doing there?''''


    ''''I met with Gard.'''' He replied and shrugged, ''''No one else was there.''''


    ''''Oh, you met with old fart.'''' Darth was curious about the reason for his meeting with Gard.


    Queen Diana suddenly elbowed his waist and said sternly, ''''Don''t call him that.''''


    ''''You call him with that nickname too!'''' Darth eximed, ''''Why are you trying to act like a proper Guild Leader?''''


    Queen Diana pouted and crossed her arms with displeasure, ''''It''s time for me to change¡­ Everyone will know beautiful Queen Diana and her gentle nature.''''


    Darth and every Core Member rolled their eyes.

 Chapter 266 - Real World

    Chapter 266 - Real World.


    In the Snowstar High School.


    Inside ssroom 1-A.


    Youthful and energetic students were discussing with each other.


    Few nced at the clock and noticed that the ss should have started ten minutes ago.


    One of the students who noticed that weird phenomenon was Alice, who was currently sitting in her own desk with one of her friends sitting right next to her.


    An adorable brown-haired girl with chubby cheeks and a petite body was shyly sitting next to Alice.


    ''''I-I wonder where the teacher is.'''' The adorable girl who goes by the name of Lily asked.


    Alice shrugged and yed around with her pencil, ''''Not sure¡­''''


    Using her thumb and index finger, she started spinning the pencil around, making scratching marks appear on her desk.


    ''''Mou.'''' Lily grabbed her pencil case and took her eraser from there.


    She started erasing the ck marks on the desk caused by the pencil''s lead.


    Alice stopped spinning the pencil after noticing the mess she had made.


    ''''I am bored.'''' She threw her pencil inside her own pencil case and leaned on the chair.


    After five minutes, more students started wondering where the teacher was.


    Their teacher, who was neverte, was nowhere to be seen.


    Alice was about to stand up and try to find their lost teacher, but then the ssroom door opened, and a middle-aged woman appeared.


    She timidly walked to the front desk while being the center of attention of the whole ss.


    ''Hmm?'' Alice frowned and looked at the middle-aged woman, who wasn''t their teacher.


    ''''Ahem.'''' The middle-aged woman coughed and spoke, ''''Not many of you might know who I am¡­ But, my name is Elina, and I am here to tell you all that your previous teacher has suddenly resigned.''''


    The students started murmuring, wondering why their teacher''s sudden resignation.


    ''''Why?'''' Alice asked bluntly, which caused Elina to flinch.


    She has heard stories about Alice and felt very small and insignificant in her presence.


    ''''H-He resigned because he nned to start ying White Online¡­'''' Elina wryly smiled, ''''I-I don''t need to tell what that is¡­ Right?''''


    The students looked shocked and wondered what the hell was the reason.


    Alice frowned, ''To y White Online? I know it''s popr, but that doesn''t sound very good reason to suddenly quit the job that is feeding him and paying bills.''


    ''''Everyone.'''' Elina sighed and grabbed her phone from her pocket, ''''Take out your phones and look at the news.''''


    ''''If you don''t have a phone with you, look from your friend''s phone.''''


    Alice grabbed her phone and went straight to the Inte.


    It didn''t take long for her to see the shocking piece of news.


    ''What?!'' Her eyes almost bulged out and she knew what this news meant.


    Isaac wasn''t the only genius in the Whitelock family; she was also rather intelligent individual and knew the serious consequences that update would cause to the World''s Economy.


    The students started murmuring with each other with shocked looks.


    ''''What is the point of school if we can be rich by ying games?!''''


    ''''That''s right¡­ I am already level 18¡­ I wonder how much my White Coins are in real-life currency.''''


    ''''Isn''t this crazy? Now I understand why our teacher resigned¡­ I wonder would my parents let me drop out.''''


    ''''Are you crazy? I don''t think it will be so easy to earn.''''


    ''''Who knows, but I want to try!''''


    Elina heard the mutterings and thought inside her mind, ''School is important for learning, but¡­ What is the point if the only thing that matters how good someone is at ying games¡­''''


    *p* *p*


    She pped her hands, which silenced the ssroom.


    ''''Principal said that school day is over for today. We will have a discussion over the weekend, and your parents will receive news on Sunday about how we will proceed from now on.''''


    ''''Yes!'''' The students cheered, and quickly started packing their books.


    ''''Yo, do you want to go y White Online?''''


    ''''Fuck yes, only fool wouldn''t!''''


    ''''Let''s go check the Colosseum!''''


    The students quickly ran out of the ssroom, leaving only Lily, Alice, and Elina behind.


    Elina sighed and left the ssroom with a serious look on her face. She had wanted to be a teacher since she was 12, but it seems that the school and teachers won''t be necessary for the future.


    ''''I-I guess it''s goodbye for now.'''' Lily packed her things and stood up from her seat.


    ''''Be safe.'''' Alice rubbed her tiny head and watched as her friend left the ssroom in quick steps.


    Soonter, Alice also left the ssroom with her backpack.


    In the hallways, students rushed past her with excited faces.


    She also heard more than ten times the name of White Online.


    ''White Online¡­'' Alice thought.


    She reached the first floor and slowly wore her winter clothing that kept her safe from the cold.


    Once she was done, she left the building.


    Soon, she left the school''s premises through the metal gates and reached the streets.


    Most of the students around her stayed to wait for their parents to pick them up, or some simply started running towards their homes with rapid speed.


    Alice, however, was walking calmly and silently.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Her footsteps halted after seeing something from the corner of her eyes.


    She turned her head and saw a store that was selling VR Helmets.


    The store was bustling, with people leaving and entering the store.


    The VR Helmets were being emptied rapidly, and all the Bronze VR Helmets had already sold out.


    Only a few silver VR Helmets and Gold VR Helmets were left.


    The store wasn''t selling tinum and Legendary VR Helmets, which were already way too expensive formon citizens.


    ''Maybe I can meet him there¡­'' Her eyes showed firm will, and she straightened her back.


    She entered the store and pushed past all the customers that were trying to reach the VR Helmets.


    Customers looked shocked and wondered where the hell she got such strength!


    Hungry-looking customers took all the Silver VR Helmets, and only one VR Helmet was left.


    Gold VR Helmet.


    With hungry and greedy gazes, everyone inside the store rushed towards the VR Helmet, but then¡­


    A delicate and soft hand grabbed the VR Helmet and imed her ownership of the item.


    The customers looked frustrated after seeing them missing the chance to buy VR Helmet.


    But, there were few who didn''t want to give up so easily.


    ''''Hey miss, I will buy the helmet for double of the price!''''


    ''''I will triple it!''''


    Alice looked at them and smugly smiled, ''''Mine.'''' She said while hugging the VR Helmet with maternal instincts.

 Chapter 267 - Battle of Words

    Chapter 267 - Battle of Words.


    In the Colosseum.


    Another match ended.


    The beautiful diator once again made the Wheel of Victory to appear, and the lucky yer who won, prayed before spinning it.


    Once the spinning wheel stopped, the color of white became clear.


    ''''Congrattions, you won 100000 White Coins!'''' The beautiful diator screamed loudly.


    ''''Yes!'''' The yer looked very excited, and if it were before the World Bank update, he would have been disappointed, but now he was very excited.


    *p* *p*


    The yers inside diator Area pped slowly, somewhat jealous of the lucky yers.


    *Ding* *Ding*


    Isaac flinched after sudden dinging noise echoed inside his mind.


    In front of him, a notification popped up.


    [Gather at the Entrance of the Arena!]


    [Your Match is about tomence!]


    ''''Oh¡­'''' Isaac bit his upper lip and stood up, but out of nowhere, someone else also stood up.


    He looked with surprise at Queen Diana.


    ''''You got the message too?'''' She asked with slight surprise.


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''Good luck,'''' Darth said to both Isaac and Diana.


    The Core Members of ck Arrow Guild also gave their own good luck wishes.


    They left the diator area and continued walking in the corridors until they found out a sign that told them where they should go next.


    After walking past multiple stairs and rooms, they reached the Arena''s Entrance, where a few familiar yers had gathered.


    Darkside was sitting with his League of Assassins while members of Wraithless stayed seated silently.


    Once they arrived, they attracted all the hatred of the yers present.


    Darkside stood up in anger and pointed at Isaac with a shaky finger, ''''Wraith, you little shit!''''


    Deathsong unsheathed his dagger with a murderous gaze, ''''Ant¡­''''


    Suddenly, KnightOfHoliness startedughing, ''''Hahaha. Wraith, you are indeed popr!''''


    ''''You know that piss ant?'''' Darkside frowned.


    ''''Back off.'''' Smander snapped and growled, ''''He is our prey.''''


    ''''Oh?'''' Darkside raised an eyebrow before chuckling, ''''Kukuku¡­ That is fine, but remember to humiliate him.''''


    ''''Obviously.'''' Smander said like it was an obvious thing to do.


    Queen Diana kept standing calmly but looked at Isaac''s facial expressions from the corner of her eye.


    Isaac''s face had no reaction, with no remorse for what he did back then.


    He used to treat White Online as a game, but the members of Wraithless happened to be people who acted like White Online was real life.


    Also, they lost a fair sum of money because of Isaac, but he didn''t expect them to buy new VR Helmets.


    *Creak*


    One of the nearby doors opened, and the beautiful diator appeared with a gentle smile on her face.


    ''''Who wants to go first?'''' She asked.


    ''''Hehe, we will.'''' Darkside said while looking at Diana, ''''Right?''''


    Queen Diana nodded while taking her bow from her back.


    The beautiful diator nodded and said, ''''I will go make the announcement, and afterward, the doors will open, and you two may enter.''''


    Darkside and Queen Diana nodded.


    After seeing them understanding, the beautiful diator left, but her perfume was still lingering in the air, making many of the League of Assassins squint their eyes in pleasure.


    ''''This will be fun.'''' Darkside grinned and saw Isaac standing without emotion, ''''What is wrong, Wraith? Too scared to speak?''''


    ''''No,'''' Isaac replied calmly.


    ''''Lies.'''' Darkside slowly moved towards Isaac with his upper body swaying side to side.


    Soon, his face was right in front of Isaac''s.


    ''''Boo!'''' Darkside made a sudden movement, trying to get any reaction from Isaac, but didn''t even make him flinch.


    ''''Heh.'''' He chuckled and turned around to leave, but he suddenly turned around and sent an uppercut toward Isaac''s jaw.


    However, the uppercut stopped an only inch away from contacting with Isaac.


    Still, there was no reaction from him.


    ''''Tch.'''' Darkside clicked his tongue and waved his index finger, ''''You are good. Keeping your fear inside you¡­ You must be used to doing that, haven''t you?''''


    ''''Good actor.'''' Deathsong said from the other side of the room, ''''All cowards are.''''


    ''''Enough.'''' Queen Diana snapped and said with a chilly tone, ''''Darksaid, back off.''''


    ''''Heh.'''' Darkside innocently smiled, ''''Mama Diana?''''


    ''''I am not scared of you.'''' Suddenly, Isaac spoke his mind out.


    Everyone in the room raised their eyebrows in surprise.


    The League of Assassins chuckled, thinking that Isaac was trying to act tough.


    ''''Oh?'''' Darkside grabbed the hilt of his dagger and narrowed his eyes, ''''Is that so?''''


    ''''Why would I be scared of bullies?'''' Isaac shook his head with a small smile, ''''Bullies are either too young to understand what they are doing wrong, but when they are older and still bully weaker ones, that makes them sad¡­ Pitiful¡­ Pathetic.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Darkside grinned and leaned closer to whisper with venom, ''''You speak like you know who I am?''''


    ''''I don''t know who you are.'''' Isaac said truthfully, ''''But, I know what kind of person you are.''''


    ''''Well then, tell me!'''' Darkside shouted and rubbed the hilt of his dagger, ''''What kind of person I am?!''''


    ''''You are around 20 in age.'''' Isaac started speaking, ''''In school, you were neither popr nor unpopr, but you wanted to be the center of the attention.''''


    Darkside tried to open his mouth, but no words came out.


    Deathsong frowned and wondered why Darkside wasn''t saying anything.


    The rest of the League of Assassins still thought that Isaac was speaking out of his ass.


    ''''White Online came in perfect time to fulfill your desire to be the center of the attention.'''' Isaac raised his head and looked straight towards the floating camera, ''''You like to be the person who is feared and respected by others.''''


    ''''You feel satisfied if someone talked about you with respect¡­ Or fear,''''


    Darkside was about to open his mouth, but Isaac continued.


    ''''You challenged Diana because you want your Guild Members to look at you with respect and ck Arrow with fear.''''


    ''''Your parents gave more attention to your siblings, which made you bitter, and you wanted to show them that you aren''t a failure.''''


    ''''I can bet that your siblings and parents are currently watching your stream.'''' Isaac''s words made Darkside shocked.


    ''''What you are showing them is that you are a bully.'''' Isaac shook his head, ''''They are embarrassed by you.''''


    ''''Shut up!'''' Darkside screamed and grabbed Isaac from the cor, ''''You piece of shit!''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac looked still calm with a slight smirk on his attractive face, ''''Was I correct?''''

    Chapter 268 - New Mythical Figure.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Darkside removed his hands from Isaac''s cors and whispered with venom, ''''You are not very smart, are you?''''


    ''''You have no idea.'''' Isaac calmly replied with a nonchnt expression.


    ''''Tch.'''' Darkside clicked his tongue and walked back where his Guild members were.


    The rest of the League of Assassins stillughed and still thought that Isaac was nothing but a clown.


    Deathsong, however, looked at Darkside with scrutinizing gaze.


    Queen Diana walked next to Isaac and asked, ''''Are you fine?''''


    ''''I will live,'''' Isaac replied while fixing his disheveled cor.


    *CHEERS*


    Behind the doors, loud cheers resounded.


    The beautiful diator walked until she was at the center of the arena.


    Hundreds of thousands of pairs of eyes were locked on her, but she didn''t look fearful or nervous.


    It was like she had been under such heavy pressure hundreds of times until her emotions became numb, and feels no pressure anymore.


    She raised her right hand and shouted powerfully, ''''It is time for¡­ Challenger Matches!''''


    The spectators became quiet.


    No one knows what the so-called Challenger Matches are.


    She only smiled and calmly started exining, her honey-like voice reaching every inch of the Colosseum, ''''Challenger Matches happens when yer challenges fellow yer!''''


    The NPCs and other yers in the audience widened their eyes in shock.


    *CHEERS!*


    It didn''t take long for the loud cheers to make their reappearance.


    The beautiful diator smiled and showed two fingers, ''''Actually¡­ There isn''t only one Challenger Matches¡­ Instead, two!''''


    *CHEERS*


    *Doom Dun Dun Doom Dun*


    After even louder cheers appeared, the sound of drumming appeared, which fought against the cheers, but neither of them won.


    The rocky walls and floors shook, which resembled a lot of attack of the earthquake, but as soon as the shaking came, it also disappeared after more and more throats became sore.


    On the other side of the doors.


    Queen Diana slowly walked next to Darkside, who was fuming with anger.


    ''''Grrr¡­'''' A menacing growl left his mouth like he was a wild animal who had lost all of his reasonings.


    ''''Darkside, calm the fuck down.'''' Deathsong appeared next to him and whispered, ''''Remember the n?''''


    ''''Fuck ns!'''' Darkside bellowed and dug his fingers into his palm with enough strength to make it bleed, ''''I will destroy her and then¡­ I will destroy that arrogant prick!''''


    ''''For fuck sake!'''' Deathsong grabbed his cor and whispered with anger, ''''Stop being childish and calm the fuck down!''''


    ''''Hands off me!'''' Darkside removed his hand and pushed him away, which sent Deathsong sliding backwards until he crashed with one of the members of the League of Assassins.


    ''''Hey, watch out!''''


    ''Fuck!'' Deathsong screamed internally and ignored the angryment he received from one of his Guild members.


    After the careful nning, everything was crumbling down because their Guild Leader couldn''t keep his emotions in check.


    Deathsong red at the culprit of the incident, Wraith!


    *CREAK*


    The massive doors opened, and therge arena with hundreds of thousands of spectators became visible.


    Both Darkside and Queen Diana felt overwhelmed, but they gathered themselves as quickly as possible and entered the arena with chins raised.


    Isaac looked at the back of Queen Diana until the doors once again closed.


    He sat down on the nearby bench and still felt the itchiness of the skin, which was the result of the intense ring from members of Wraithless.


    ''''Don''t you guys hate me a little bit too much.'''' Isaac said while giving a strained chuckle, ''''Especially you Knights. You guys tried to rob me and possibly kill me, and you guys treat me like I am the bad guy.''''


    ''''What about me?'''' Smander stood up and pointed at himself, ''''What did I do to you?''''


    ''''Nothing.'''' Isaac replied, but before Smander could say anything else, he continued, ''''However, you tried to steal from your so-called friends.''''


    Smander gritted his teeth and shouted with rage, ''''What does that have to do with you?!''''


    ''''Nothing.'''' Isaac replied, ''''But I stopped feeling bad about yer Killing you.''''


    ''''What about me?'''' TomValeo finally opened his mouth, ''''What was the reason for you killing me?''''


    ''''XP.'''' Isaac replied with honesty, ''''You happened to be there when I desperately needed XP, and you and your friends suffered because of it.''''


    ''''White Online was, after all¡­'''' He sighed deeply, ''''A game, wasn''t it?''''


    ''''Why are you saying it with past tense?'''' TomValeo asked while cleaning his sword, ''''What changed?''''


    ''''This is game.'''' Isaac wryly smiled, ''''But, it is also not a game. It is something else, something fascinating.''''


    ''''Enough!'''' Smander screamed, ''''KnightOfHoliness, you better win!''''


    ''''Heh, no worries.'''' KnightOfHoliness said nonchntly and stood up with his metal armor making rattling noises, ''''He can''t prate my Armor, let alone injure me.''''


    ''''Interface¡­'''' Isaac murmured and grabbed his Mosin-Nagant M/28-30 Sniper Rifle.


    Once his weapon was revealed, members of Wraithless snorted.


    The gun didn''t look anything special, even very crude in their eyes.


    Their shiny weapons and sturdy shields looked much more powerful and menacing to the eye.


    Isaac leaned on the wall and rested his gun on his shoulder.


    Deathsong, League of Assassins, and Wraithless didn''t see anything special about him.


    But someone did.


    Above their room, there was another floor from where special audience members could get a first look at the uing fighters.


    One of the figures was a muscr man with a short-sleeved, knee-length woolen tunic.


    However, his facial features were hidden by the short hood that was connected with the tunic.


    Even though his face was shadowy, almost unrecognizable smile could be seen if someone looked very closely.


    While everyone else around him was discussing about the uing fighters, he was silent, almost invisible.


    ''''That white-haired youth looks so fragile.'''' The words a nearby nobleman said caught his attention.


    ''''Hehe.'''' The muscr man chuckled, which was heard by the nobleman who was flirting with nearby noblewomen.


    ''''Hmm?'''' The nobleman angrily looked at the muscr man, who obviouslyughed at him.


    Behind him, the noblewomen covered their mouths and giggled, which enraged the nobleman even more because he thought they were making fun of him.


    ''''Who are you?!'''' The nobleman asked while grabbing the hilt of his sword, ''''Answer me!''''


    ''''Who am I?'''' The muscr man grinned and rested his well-defined chin on his palm, ''''Spartacus, nice to meet you.''''


    The nobleman''s body became pale, and foam poured down from his mouth.


    ''''Kyaa!'''' The noblewomen screamed after witnessing the nobleman suddenly passing out with urine trailing down from his trousers.


    ''''Heh.'''' The muscr man named Spartacus chuckled and looked straight at Isaac, ''''Fragile-looking? Words of a fool.''''

 Chapter 269 - Arrow of Love

    Chapter 269 - Arrow of Love.


    In the Arena.


    The beautiful diator pointed toward the bright blue sky and shouted in her sweet voice, ''''START!''''


    *CHEERS!*


    The spectators screamed their hearts out.


    Darkside unsheathed his two daggers and suddenly disappeared from the arena!


    [Stealth Used!]


    Queen Diana grabbed two arrows from the quiver and put them on the bowstring.


    Around her, the wind kept making the dust fly around her, making the visibility somewhat poor.


    *SWOOSH*


    Out of nowhere, Darkside''s illusionary figure appeared behind Queen Diana and did an overhand sh.


    Queen Diana felt the approaching danger.


    She listened to her instincts and jumped away.


    While airborne, she let go of the bowstring and sent two arrows flying.


    *nk*


    Darkside used the side of his daggers and deflected the arrows with rtive ease.


    ''''Hmph.'''' After snorting, his legs suddenly started glowing in purplish colors.


    [Assassins Speed!]


    *WHOOSH*


    Darkside used his first skill of the match!


    In the eyes of the spectators, he vanished and appeared in front of Queen Diana with his arm stretched forwards.


    *POW!*


    His fist struck Queen Diana in the gut and sent her flying a dozen meters away.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Queen Diana grimaced with a mouthful of saliva escaping her mouth.


    *Thud*


    Her body crashed to the ground, but that wasn''t the end, and she rolled several more meters to the ground before barely managing to stop.


    Her beautiful green robes were dirtied with dirt and soil.


    In the diator spectator''s area.


    ''''Damn!'''' Darth grimaced, and the rest of the ck Arrows also let out sighs of frustration.


    Other yers, however, were, cheering at the match. They didn''t care whether they would be insulting ck Arrow members that way.


    Back in the Arena.


    Queen Diana stood up and didn''t see Darkside anywhere.


    Her face was beautiful as ever, untainted by any mortal sins.


    However, soon her beautiful face grimaced after a sudden numbing feeling appeared on her waist.


    A semi-long cut wound suddenly appeared on her waist, which made blue blood gush out.


    [-125 HP!]


    [HP: 260/450]


    Her ears perked up after the wind''s speed elerated around her; she knew that another attack was about to arrive!


    But she had other ns.


    ''''Not so easily!'''' She grabbed only one arrow and put it in the bowstring before aiming toward the bright blue sky.


    ''''Arrow Rain!'''' Queen Diana also used her first skill and let go of the bowstring, which sent the arrow flying straight towards the sky.


    However, when it reached the height of fifty meters, the Arrow did a 180-degree turn, and hundreds of illusionary arrows appeared around that simple arrow made of carbon fiber, aluminum, fiberss, and wooden shafts.


    The hundreds of arrows started descending with scary speed.


    Queen Diana stopped moving and only felt the brushing of the arrows going past her and stabbing on the ground.


    Few arrows brushed past her shoulders, legs, and arms.


    But not even one of them hit her.


    Someone else wasn''t as lucky.


    Darkside''s Stealth disappeared, and he appeared with three illusionary arrows sticking out of his legs.


    ''''Argh!'''' His face grimaced after seeing HP reducing at an rming rate.


    [-221 HP!]


    [HP: 220/441]


    Deathsong grimaced at the sight, and the rest of the League of Assassins members gulped.


    They had underestimated Queen Diana, but they still had blind faith in Darkside.


    Deathsong, however, didn''t have much faith in him.


    Inside the diator area.


    Every yer became silent, except ck Arrow Members.


    ''''Yes!'''' Darth clenched his fist.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Tobi took a sigh of relief.


    Colorful pped her hands.


    GreenFlower nodded with admiration.


    Even Redless had an almost unnoticeable smile on his face.


    Back in the match.


    The illusionary arrows disappeared into tiny light blue particles.


    Queen Diana rushed forwards, using every fiber of her Archer Physique to increase her speed.


    *SWOOSH!*


    Her sudden increase of speed caught Darksidepletely off-guard!


    She raised her leg, which revealed her smooth and soft-looking thigh. However, no one had time to admire the sight because suddenly, she used it to send a kick that was packing all the strength from her physique.


    ''''Damn!'''' Darkside jumped back, but he could only watch with despair as the kicknded on his body.


    *BAM!*


    His body flew across the air like a cannonball.


    *CRASH!*


    He would have continued for several hundred meters, but in the end, the Colosseum wall stopped him.


    [-150 HP]


    [HP: 70/441]


    Queen Diana lowered her leg and moved the strands of her hair behind her ear.


    *CHEERS*


    The spectators cheered at the beautiful disy shown by Queen Diana.


    *Whistle*


    The male poption was even more excited at the disy and sent a whistling chorus toward her.


    However, many of them forgot one crucial thing. Most of them were with their wives or girlfriends, which earned them a p to their cheeks from their lovers.


    Queen Diana innocently smiled at the spectators, which earned another round of cheering.


    *CRASH!*


    From the Colosseum wall, angry Darkside appeared with a hateful look on his dirtied face.


    Queen Diana put her hand on her waist and smiled, ''''Darkside, aren''t we done here?''''


    ''''Shut up, bitch!'''' Darkside''s dark eyes started glowing in the color of purple, while the rest of his mask had cracks and drops of blue blood dripping down from his chin.


    Queen Diana grabbed three arrows from the quiver and put them right on the bowstring.


    ''''That is not very nice¡­'''' Her beautiful eyes had a tinge of pink about to form.


    ''''Graah!'''' Darkside leaped across the air, and suddenly the tips of the daggers started glowing in purple, ''''Arc of Death!''''


    [Arc of Death Used!]


    Wide arcs of energy beams left the daggers.


    The surroundings became dark purple, which gave the atmosphere an eerily feeling.


    Queen Diana''s frail-looking arms started trembling after pulling the bowstrings, which seemed much heavier than before.


    Everything she did seemed much more difficult, and Queen Diana knew that it was the effect of Darkside''s ability.


    However, she still had a gentle smile on her face.


    ''''Arrow of Love!'''' The brownish arrows changed colors until they became beautiful pink!


    ''''She is..?!'''' Darkside widened his eyes in shock.


    [Queen Diana]


    [Legacy: God of Love - Cupid]


    [Legacy Rank: Godly]


    She winked and released the powerful arrows.


    The arrows effortlessly broke the energy beams, but they weren''t done!


    Like homing missiles, they changed directions and went straight towards Darkside, who was still airborne!

 Chapter 270 - Beautiful Love

    Chapter 270 - Beautiful Love.


    ''''Beautiful Love!'''' Queen Diana''s sweet voice echoed in Darkside''s ears.


    [Beautiful Love Used!]


    However, that voice rang warning bells in his mind.


    *STAB*


    *STAB*


    *STAB*


    Three pink arrows stabbed through his thigh, but Darkside felt something weird spreading in his body.


    Before, when he was hit by the arrows, he felt the numbing feeling that was quitemon among yers, but now, he felt rxation and happiness clouding his mind.


    ''''W-What is happening?'''' Darkside swayed side to side, barely able to keep standing.


    From the wound on his thigh, a feeling of sweetness made his heartbeat rapid, like he was in front of his first love.


    In his eyes, heart symbols appeared out of nowhere.


    ''''Haahhh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' Around his cheeks, a hue of pink appeared.


    A rough and unsteady way of breathing made him look intoxicated.


    He raised his head and saw the beautiful Queen Diana standing with her attractiveness visible to everyone, but in his eyes, she looked like Goddess who descended upon the mortal realm.


    ''''Goddess¡­'''' He murmured with a face of love.


    His body slowly lowered until he was kneeling with his head lowered, ''''My Queen¡­''''


    The spectators looked utterly shocked.


    Only a moment ago, he was screaming bitch; now, he was treating like Queen Diana was way above his mortal status.


    ''''What the hell happened to him?''''


    ''''Change of heart..?''''


    ''''Simp *Cough*, oops, excuse me.''''


    The room where League of Assassins, Wraithless, and Isaac were gathered.


    Deathsong pushed his head through the bars that were stopping him from rushing to the arena, ''''Darkside, what the hell are you doing?!''''


    The League of Assassins looked embarrassed after witnessing their Guild Leader''s antics.


    Who would be afraid of them after this?


    Members of Wraithless frowned at the sight.


    The person currently kneeling didn''t seem like the maniac who even made them fearful deep in their hearts.


    However, they had to use all their willpower not to cringe at the sight.


    ''''Wow.'''' Isaac knew that Diana''s arrows caused the sudden change in Darkside''s attitude, ''''So powerful¡­ Isn''t this basically mind control?''''


    Inside the diator spectator area.


    ''''She has¡­ Legacy?'''' Darth locked gazes with other ck Arrow members.


    Each one of them looked absolutely shocked.


    They weren''t aware that their Guild Leader was Legacy Carrier!


    They knew Queen Diana''s abilities, but not even once they had seen her using a mind-controlling ability.


    The yers in the room looked shocked.


    In their eyes, the menacing leader of the League of Assassins became a timid puppy.


    Many of them had to resistughing. Otherwise, they could be the next target of the League of Assassins, who have a track record of Assassinating yers they don''t like.


    Back in the arena.


    Queen Diana walked next to Darkside and patted his head, ''''Who is a bad boy?''''


    ''''I am¡­ Please forgive me.'''' Darkside replied with a lovestruck voice and felt his body shuddering after feeling Queen Diana''s soft hand touching him.


    ''''Sure, but for one condition.'''' She removed the hand, which received a disappointed sigh from Darkside.


    ''''Anything, My Queen.''''


    Queen Diana took an arrow from the quiver and put it on the bowstring.


    She aimed and pulled the string, ''''You have been forgiven.''''


    Darkside smiled, having no idea that she was about to prate his head with a sharp arrow.


    However, at that moment, the heart pupils in his eyes faded away.


    His eyes widened in rage, and using his two daggers; he stabbed them deep inside Queen Diana''s thighs!


    *Stab!*


    *Stab!*


    *Spurt!*


    Queen Diana''s eyes widened in shock, and she saw how two sharp items pierced through her legs, leaving two gaping holes behind.


    Darkside stood up and angrily punched her squarely in the face.


    *Thud*


    With the strong impact of the punch, Queen Diana stumbled backward and fell down on her butt.


    From her nose, a trail of blue blood trailed down.


    She touched her numb nose and asked with teary eyes, ''''How? T-The effect was supposed tost for a minute.''''


    Darkside grabbed his two daggers from the ground and wiped the blood with his sleeves, ''''Bitch¡­ I don''t know why.''''


    He had a hunch, however.


    He nced at the holographic screen before him and debated whether that was the reason.


    [Legacy: None + Legacy Contender]


    Queen Diana tried to stand up, but when Darkside caught a glimpse of her trying, he punched her in the face and forced her to stay on the ground.


    Her HP kept reducing rapidly.


    [HP: 30/450]


    Seeing the HP, her heart started beating rapidly.


    A sadistic grin could be seen on Darkside''s face, which made nearby spectators grind their teeth in hate.


    None of them could enjoy the sight, which was why Colosseum was created.


    For families, friends, lovers, and enemies to enjoy a show that was for everyone.


    The children covered their eyes in fear.


    Most of them took a liking to Queen Diana, and seeing the scene made them think that Darkside was a bogeyman in the flesh.


    Members of ck Arrow gritted their teeth in hate.


    The League of Assassinsughed with a joyful look and was relieved to see their Leader back on his feet, striking fear in the hearts of his enemies.


    ''''Raise your head.'''' Darkside raised Queen Diana''s chin with the tip of his dagger, making her look him straight in the eye.


    However, after doing so, his body froze after his gaze was locked with Queen Diana''s.


    Her teary eyes made her look pitiful, but underneath all the tears, something was hidden.


    Hidden in the color of pink.


    The heart pupils reappeared, but only for a second.


    Darkside flinched and shook his head after the sudden shock, but once his eyes opened, he came face-to-face with an arrow.


    He snapped his head to the side, barely managing to dodge the sharp-edged arrow.


    However, another shock was ahead of him, traumatizing him for many years toe.


    *CRACK!*


    Queen Diana''s kicknded on Darkside''s groin, breaking something in the process.


    Every male audience member shuddered in shock.


    Darkside''s startled look soon became full-blown panic!


    ''''ARGH!'''' He screamed words that were impossible to understand.


    Queen Diana pouted and wiped her tears, ''''You made me cry. It was your fault¡­''''


    In the diator''s waiting room.


    Darth facepalmed and sighed, ''''Beautiful and gentle, huh?''''

 Chapter 271 - Beast Taming Scroll

    Chapter 271 - Beast Taming Scroll.


    The male spectators were shuddering in fear.


    Out of instinct, they closed their legs.


    Darkside knelt on the ground while grabbing his bleeding groin.


    From his mouth, a trail of saliva dripped down.


    ''''Ugh¡­ ugh¡­'''' From his mouth, the inaudible sound of grunts came.


    Queen Diana turned her head towards the audience and saw many children looking at her with sparkling eyes.


    She yfully winked.


    The children cheered with joyful looks.


    Their parents didn''t know how to react; on the other hand, their fathers were pale in fright, but their mothers were pping with approving nods.


    In the waiting room.


    ''''Ahem.'''' Isaac averted his gaze from the arena.


    League of Assassins had their jaws wide open,rge enough to fit a baseball inside their mouth.


    Deathsong kept biting his nails, ''''Stand up¡­ Stand up¡­ Stand up¡­''''


    In the Arena.


    Darkside raised his head and looked at the floating screen in front of him.


    [HP: 1/441]


    ''''Ugh¡­'''' With shaky legs, he slowly stood up with a trail of blue blood dropping down to the dirt ground. He kept ring at Queen Diana with dead-looking eyes.


    ''''Interface¡­'''' With a hateful gaze, he pressed [Log Out] and disappeared from World of White.


    Queen Diana widened her eyes in surprise, ''''He left¡­''''


    In the waiting room.


    Deathsong mmed his head on the metal bars and screamed with a hoarse voice, ''''Noooo!''''


    The League of Assassins lowered their heads with visible embarrassment on their faces.


    Darkside''s floating camera disappeared, leaving plenty of dissatisfied viewers behind, who were mocking him ruthlessly.


    The members of ck Arrow could finally let out their frustration and cheered loud enough for every yer to hear them.


    Isaac pped his hands but remembered that it was his time to take the stage.


    KnightOfHoliness innocently smiled at Isaac, showing a ruthless glint in his eyes.


    In the Arena. After one of thepetitors suddenly left, the beautiful diator rushed to the arena, ''''yer Darkside had given up!''''


    Her sweet voice brought the spectators from their stupor.


    *CHEERS!*


    Queen Diana already became a favorite in the hearts of spectators, and seeing her winning made them very pleased.


    She, however, felt dissatisfied.


    ''He had something else he didn''t want to show¡­'' She frowned and remembered that she had shown her Legacy.


    Now, everyone will know her Legacy ability, and some who might harbor bad intentions could target her.


    Meanwhile, Darkside seemed to hide something he didn''t want to show.


    Once in a while, he showed apparent tendencies to do everything to win the match, but a kick to the nuts made him wake up out from his enraged state.


    The beautiful diator stopped next to her and said sweetly, ''''It is time for Wheel of Victory!''''


    Everyone''s attention was once again on the arena, or more precisely, on Queen Diana.


    The holographic wheel appeared out of thin air.


    She didn''t overthink it and spun the wheel around.


    At quickened speed, the wheel kept spinning until it started slowing down bit by bit.


    Slowly but surely, the wheel stopped spinning, showing a color that hadn''t been shown yet.


    Brown.


    The beautiful diator''s sparkled as she announced what Queen Diana had won, ''''yer Queen Diana''s reward is¡­ Beast Taming Scroll!''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Queen Diana raised an eyebrow and was confused about the prize like many others.


    ''''Beast Taming Scroll allows you to tame any Beast. Congrattions!'''' She snapped her fingers, and out of nowhere, a brownish and worn-out scroll appeared out of thin air andnded on Queen Diana''s soft palm.


    ''''Beast Taming Scroll¡­'''' Queen Diana murmured, and her eyes sparkled after realizing the possibilities it had.


    She stored it inside her Inventory and was instantly teleported away from the arena.


    The beautiful diator smiled and took notes from Queen Diana and winked at the audience, ''''Next Challenger match will begin shortly!''''


    Inside the waiting room.


    KnightOfHoliness stood up and did his final preparations.


    Isaac was looking calm; however, inside his mind, he remembered thest time he fought against KnightOfHoliness.


    He remembered his excellent usage of the sword.


    KnightOfHoliness examined his steel sword and shield, ensuring that nothing was wrong with them.


    ''''You know the n, right?'''' KnightOfProtection whispered.


    ''''Yes,'''' KnightOfHoliness replied and nced at his Inventory, where ten Healing Potions were waiting for him!


    A sickening grin was seen on his face, which he quickly hid.


    ''''Don''t show the Healing Potions until the very end.'''' TomValeo said, ''''His gun perhaps can deal 300 damage. Don''t let him hit you instead, cover your body at all times.''''


    ''''No worries.'''' He said while patting Tom''s shoulder, ''''I got this.''''


    TomValeo narrowed his eyes and whispered, ''''You better¡­''''


    KnightOfHoliness stopped in front of therge wooden doors.


    Below his feet, he felt the tremblinging from the loud spectators.


    *Doom Dun Dun Doom Dun Dun*


    The banging of the drums caused a sound loud enough to make tiny dust particles fall down from the rocky walls and ceilings.


    At first nce, it would look like the Colosseum would fall apart if it continued, but the foundations were strong.


    Strong enough to withstand the stress.


    Isaac stood up from the bench; however, he felt an itching feeling on his nape when he was about to walk to the doors.


    He scratched his itchy nape and turned around to see why the itchy feeling resurfaced.


    It was his first time noticing people being looking at them like animals in the zoo.


    Many of the noblemen and women were discussing with each other, but one person caught Isaac''s eye.


    A muscr man with a woolen tunic.


    His face was shadowy, but Isaac could feel him smiling for an unknown reason.


    ''''Hey, you two ready?'''' The beautiful diator appeared from the door and asked. She noticed a handsome man with a heavy armory being ready, but the white-haired cutie was looking at somewhere else.


    KnightOfHoliness turned his head and frowned, ''''Wraith, did you get cold feet?''''


    Isaac shook his head, ''''No, I am ready.'''' He ignored the muscr man and walked next to KnightOfHoliness.


    The beautiful diator smiled and nodded, ''''I will announce you two, and when the doors open, you two may enter, is that clear?''''


    KnightOfHoliness and Isaac nodded.

 Chapter 272 - Ordinary Figures

    Chapter 272 - Ordinary Figures.


    In the room where yers who aspire to be diators had gathered.


    The yers were still discussing about the match they had witnessed, but soon, the murmuring stopped after the appearance of a lovely young woman with dirtied robes.


    Their eyes showed the greed, and the yers with Thief ss felt an itch to steal the reward.


    The young woman who appeared as the previous match''s winner, Queen Diana!


    Queen Diana walked past the crowd of yers and arrived at where ck Arrows were.


    ''''Congrattions.'''' Darth shook hands with her.


    Queen Diana smiled and nodded. The rest of the ck Arrow Members also weed her with warm smiles.


    ''''Guild Master,'''' Tobi said with a severe tone while ncing at the yers, who were looking at her with greedy gazes.


    ''''Yes?'''' Her eyshes moved gently while sitting with her back straight and hands on herp.


    ''''Should we perhaps return to the Guild?'''' Tobi knew about the stupidity of the yers, who would do anything to get their hands on an item, that would perhaps help them or not.


    They don''t think about the consequences that will happen if they offendrge Guild like them.


    ''''No.'''' However, Queen Diana rejected his proposition.


    ''''Why?'''' Tobi wasn''t pleased about the answer, ''''We are not safe here.''''


    The rest of the ck Arrow Members looked at their beautiful Guild Leader.


    ''''Wraith-chan is fighting.'''' She smiled and turned her gaze to the floating screen, ''''I want to see his fight.''''


    ''''Is that the priority right now?'''' Tobi wanted to p some sense into her, but he knew it would be impossible to change her mind.


    Queen Diana smiled and nodded.


    Tobi couldn''t do anything except sit down with a sullen look.


    Back in the Arena.


    The beautiful diator entered the arena with a chorus of cheers and whistles.


    She tightened the straps of her bikinis, making sure they won''t fall down.


    Once she made sure, she stopped walking and looked at the vast audience, ''''It is time for the second Challenger Matches!''''


    *CHEERS!*


    *CREAK*


    One of therge doors opened, sending a cloud of dust into the atmosphere.


    From there, KnightOfHoliness appeared like Knight in shining armor.


    His handsome looks were an instant hit among the female audience members, earning loud fangirl-like screams.


    He smiled and waved at the audience with his beautiful blond hair fluttering alongside him.


    Before, the male audience members were cheering for Queen Diana; now, the female audience members had their revenge.


    Most of the males looked displeased to see how their girlfriends or wives acted, but they couldn''t tell them to stop either; it would be hypocritical.


    ''''It is a Knight!'''' A little girl in her 8s withrge blue eyes shouted with excitement, ''''Mom, look!''''


    Her mom was one of the ones who cheered loudly and was still doing it.


    Her husband was pouting, not feeling pleasant even the slightest.


    KnightOfHoliness stopped next to the beautiful diator.


    While most of the audience members were focusing on KnightOfHoliness, they didn''t see someone else entering the arena as well.


    With pure white clothing and equally pure hair. An insanely attractive individual with fair skin that seemed too pure to be touched by mortal hands.


    The long eyshes and pointy nose overshadowed his beautiful gray eyes.


    At first, he seemed someone who shouldn''t be in a ce like Colosseum; instead locked in a treasure vault.


    On his back, a gun in the color of light brown was strapped in.


    Not even for a second would someone think that he would know how to use it.


    Once he stopped walking and the audience members could take a good look at him, they didn''t know how to react.


    No one cheered, only managed to open their mouths with their teeth and tongue visible. However, no words came out.


    The yers in the audience stand, however, recognized him!


    The gun, white hair, the yer Tag floating. Each one of those told them the white-haired youth''s identity.


    After their faces had a look of realization, they took everything they could use to record and pointed them straight at the match.


    First time since the appearance of the Stream Clip, Wraith was publicly fighting!


    On the top row of the Audience Stands.


    Three cloaked figures were sitting and were discussing an only moment ago, but now, they have be silent.


    That silencested several seconds longer until one of them opened their mouth.


    ''''Legacy Carrier¡­ A powerful one.''''


    His friends nodded.


    ''''I guess we didn''te here in vain¡­ Quite entertaining match ahead.''''


    The third cloaked figure didn''t open his mouth, but when they were about to rx, their senses screamed for them to act!


    Before they could even stand up, someone sat in the seat right next to them.


    They shakily turned their heads and widened their eyes in shock.


    The figure that appeared was sitting with his arms on the top of the backrest and legs crossed.


    On his face, a trademark white ski mask was covering most of the face, except the eyes.


    He was wearing an outfit that would allow him to hide in the snow with a rather great sess rate.


    Even though he looked like someone that belonged to the mountains, no one was looking at him except the three cloaked figures.


    ''''Y-You.'''' They couldn''t believe their eyes, and after getting rid of the initial shock, they lowered their heads with respect.


    ''''Sit.'''' Simo said while making a simple waving motion with his hand, ''''Let''s watch the match, shall we?''''


    They gulped and sat down with stiff bodies.


    ''''I-I-If I may ask¡­'''' One of them decided to be the brave one, ''''G-Great White Death, w-why have youe here?''''


    ''''You see, my Legacy Carrier is fighting.'''' Simo saw their shocked looks, ''''But, why are you three here? If I remember correctly, only Godly, Mythical, and Special Figures were allowed to enter Stronglord.''''


    The cloaked figures gulped, and fear was trying to attack their minds.


    ''''You three¡­ Ordinary Figures with Ordinary Legacies to offer for yers wasn''t allowed to enter any major city.''''


    Simo nced at them from the corner of his eyes and smiled, ''''You guys must know the reason?''''


    The three cloaked figures stood up and bowed at a ny-degree angle, ''''Please, forgive us!''''


    ''''Leave before the God''s notice.'''' Simo mentioned casually, ''''Return where you three belong.''''


    ''''Thank you!'''' They said with gratitude and disappeared without leaving any traces behind.

 Chapter 273 - Wraith’s Struggle

    Chapter 273 - Wraith''s Struggle.


    The diator bombshell involuntarily took a step back. The tension between the two men was intense.


    KnightOfHoliness and Isaac stared each other down, and she could feel unbridled anger lingering in the air.


    She smirked, anticipating the insane match that was about to unfold!


    ''''Match¡­ START!'''' Her voice rang throughout the Colosseum, signaling the start of the match.


    KnightOfHoliness didn''t even give the stunning woman time to leave the arena. He crossed the distance in an instant, performing a rapid overhead sh!


    The strike was aimed at Isaac''s head. Obviously, his opponent intended to end this match swiftly.


    Isaac leapt to the side. His eyes followed the sword, watching as it mmed into the ground, sting dust and debris in every direction!


    *CRACK!*


    The sound of the impact rang across the Colosseum, causing the blood of the onlookers to boil. After the initial surprise, thunderous cheers erupted throughout the stadium!


    Isaac frowned, putting some distance between them as hended.


    ''He''s already caught me in levels... maybe even surpassed me!'' He thought, looking at the destruction.


    Isaac felt like pping himself. He was handed the Mythical VR helmet on a silver tter!


    Anyone with brains would have used this opportunity to the fullest! They would have leveled up considerably before the helmet ended up on the market!


    However, Isaac hadn''t used the Mythical VR helmet as was intended. Instead, he''d squandered one of the opportunities that it had presented him!


    ''I need to start grinding XP¡­ I cannot allow myself to becent!''


    KnightOfHoliness wouldn''t allow Isaac to have any free time. Instead, he ran after the man like a starving beast chasing down its prey!


    He grasped the sword tightly in his right hand and swung at a speed that was considerably swifter than his initial strike!


    Isaac attempted to spin away from the blow, but the attack still bit into his shoulder! An image of their first meeting shed in his mind, though this time, it looked as if Isaac was on the back foot.


    A drop of blood dripped slowly down the tip of the steel sword. It ran down the edge of the de, soon staining the hilt.


    A devilish grin shed across KnightOfHoliness'' face. Throughout the audience, the cheeks of the women turned a light red.


    *CHEERS!*


    The Colosseum shook as another round of cheers erupted from the audience! Men were standing in their seats, stomping the ground and whistling at the contestants!


    Isaac unstrapped his gun, bringing it around swiftly and using the butt of the sniper tounch an unexpected attack! The Mosin-Nagant sniper struck out, aiming for the man standing behind him.


    *CLANK!*


    KnightOfHoliness moved his shield to block the strike at thest moment! Though he seeded, the power of the strike forced him to stagger back.


    Isaac used this to his advantage. The gun vaulted him into the air while simultaneously pressing the shield to the ground.


    He used this momentum to spin swiftly in the air,unching a well-aimed kick at KnightOfHoliness'' now unguarded face!


    The Knight ducked at thest second, feeling the breeze of the attack ruffle his gorgeous blonde hair.


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' He let out a relieved breath and rushed to regain his footing.


    *Thud*


    Isaded heavily on the ground. The disappointment in his eyes was evident, but he didn''t let that slow him down.


    His weapon was already sweeping through the air, not stopping until it was pointed directly at his opponent. He aimed the sniper''s barrel directly at KnightOfHoliness'' face and squeezed the trigger.


    KnightOfHoliness had already regained his bnce. He snatched his shield off the ground, swinging it in a wide arc until it mmed against the barrel of the rifle!


    *BANG!*


    The bullet left the barrel,pletely missing the Knight''s body!


    The Knight''s muscles trembled beneath his armor. His sword snaked forward like a streak of lightning as heshed out!


    Isaac swung the rifle just in time to deflect the de away from his waist! A screeching sound echoed as the two metals shed.


    Gritting his teeth, Isaac jumped back, his arms starting to numb from their most recent sh. He''d managed to deflect the sword, but it had been no easy feat!


    There had only been a handful of shes, but he felt like he could urately gauge KnightOfHoliness'' Strength Stat. The man''s Strength was definitely over 100, while Isaac''s was only a measly 50.


    He couldn''t count on his Strength any longer. If he continued to go head to head with the Knight, only death awaited him.


    KnightOfHoliness snorted, ''''What the hell is this pitiful strength?''''


    Isaac aimed his sniper and pulled the trigger.


    ''''Hah!'''' KnightOfHoliness raised his shield, blocking the bullet with ease.


    ''''Did I hit a sore spot?'''' With a grin, the Knight leaped forward and mmed his shield into Isaac.


    Isaac was knocked back nearly twenty meters by the blow. There was no noticeable damage, but...


    A trail of blue suddenly poured from the edge of his mouth. Isaac used the edge of his sleeve to wipe the blood away.


    The NPCs noticed that the tide of the match was rolling in KnightOfHoliness'' favor. The yers were shocked to see the famous Wraith being pushed back by some unknown yer!


    KnightOfHoliness smirked, ''Once I''ve won this¡­ I''ll be known as the yer who defeated Wraith!''


    The other members of Wraithless were wholly unaware of his ns. Unlike the others, he really wasn''t after Wraith''s head for revenge.


    Instead, he just wanted to be famous. The shortest route to achieving that happened to be killing Wraith in front of everyone.


    Exacting revenge for their first encounter was simply a bonus. The Knight''s two friends, TomValeo and Smander, watched the match with satisfied gazes.


    They''d chosen KnightOfHoliness to represent them in this match, even though all of them had wanted to fight.


    The reason for this was simple... He was the strongest one.


    KnightOfHoliness sheathed his sword and spun around. He smiled and waved to the crowd, doing his best to show off and make this fight look easy.


    The female audience members swooned as his gaze ran across them, and the children in the crowd shouted in excitement.


    Even the male audience members pped or whistled, impressed by his show of power.


    The many yers in the stands were grinning for multiple reasons. Most of them had opened their streams long ago.


    Just having Wraith''s name in the title caused their streams to be instant hits! Viewers flocked to the newly opened streams as soon as they saw the familiar name.


    Viewers were utterly shocked to see that Wraith was actually losing!


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Wintend.


    A young man around 18 was sitting in front of an expensive-looking PC. It had a 144hz monitor with a powerful set of speakers next to it.


    He ran his hand through his ck hair while looking over the setup. On top of his desk, a VR helmet sat. It was only a meter away from him, and it was close enough for him to feel the temptation.


    He nced at the helmet, his skin itching and his hand almost reaching out for it.


    ''''Not yet¡­'''' He nced at the clock and knew that it wasn''t time for him to enter the vast World of White.


    Instead, he scrolled through the StreamKing website. The look of disappointment on his face was evident as he nced back at the helmet.


    He quickly found Wraith''s profile on the website. The word [Offline] was painful to look at.


    However, just as he was about to close the Inte Browser, he saw that one of the streaming titles included Wraith''s name.


    "This is definitely clickbait," He mumbled.


    The thumbnail showed a white-haired youth facing a heavily armored knight, making him question his initial assessment.


    He could recognize that white-haired youth anywhere. The young man quickly double-clicked on the title and entered the stream.


    The stream already had 200 viewers, and that number was climbing rapidly. Most of the viewers were excited at first, typing away in the streamer''s chat.


    Soon, many of the words turned to disappointment and worry. In the stream, the Knight put on a fantastic performance!


    His masterful swordsmanship was beautiful as he swung his sword with apparent ease. The Knight quickly overpowered the white-haired youth.


    ''''No¡­ He can''t lose," The young man spoke aloud.


    His new idol, Wraith, was being pushed back further with every sh. It was evident that the youth was struggling.


    ''''He can''t lose¡­.''''

 Chapter 274 - Furious

    Chapter 274 - Furious.


    *Creak*


    The door of an extravagant mansion opened with a creak.


    A somewhat average young man entered the mansion. If it weren''t for his multiple earrings, nothing about him would really stand out.


    A phone was pressed to the side of his head, and a voice rang through the speaker.


    "Yeah, it''s weird," Marvin agreed. He took off his jacket and tossed it to the side along with his shoes.


    His friend spoke quickly, excitement almost oozing through the phone''s speaker. Marvin had to pull the phone away from his ear slightly so his drums wouldn''t burst.


    ''''That update is fucking insane, though! Deal with your shit there, and let''s sneak inside Stronglord already!''''


    Marvin grinned, ''''We''ll be fucked if we get caught... but fuck! Now I feel kinda stupid for getting thrown out of Stronglord! All good stuff is there.''''


    ''''It''s fine¡­ Apparently, NPCs will be fooled by disguises. We''ll be fine as long as our yer tags are green. If they turn orange, we''re fucked!"


    ''''Got it,'''' Marvin nodded as he strolled toward the stairs. ''''We just need to be lowkey.''''


    ''''Heh.'''' He only heard his friend chuckling.


    *nk*


    The phone was disconnected.


    ''''Lowkey, my ass!'''' Marvin huffed.


    He could already imagine the chaos they would bring to the Colosseum.


    ''''Marvin?'''' From the living room''s couch, the cold gaze of a stunning middle-aged woman was pointed toward him. ''''Why aren''t you in school?''''


    ''''sses were canceled,'''' Marvin said while he stuffed his phone deep into his back pocket, ''''It''s all because of that White Online update.''''


    Isabe looked surprised, ''I didn''t expect everything to change so suddenly¡­''


    ''''This time, I didn''t skip!'''' Marvin said smugly before taking his first step toward the stairs.


    He stopped and turned as he heard hurried footsteps approaching him. Isabe appeared next to him and chopped him on the head.


    ''''Oww!'''' Marvin cried out, rubbing his aching head, ''''Why did you hit me?''''


    ''''What do you mean by ''this time''?!'''' Isabe asked sternly, her hands pressed to her hips.


    Marvin paled and tried to shrug it off. He tried to look as innocent as possible, ''''Hah¡­ Hah¡­ You must have misheard me.''''


    Thick veins sprouted in Isabe''s forehead.


    *Creak*


    Before things could be more heated, the door opened, and Alice stepped in with a box in her hands.


    ''''Heyo!'''' She greeted the two and ced the box gently on the floor. She took off her jacket and shoes and tossed them to the side.


    ''''Every ss was canceled?'''' Isabe looked surprised as she received nods from both of her children.


    ''''Sis, what is in the box?'''' Marvin asked.


    The box was intriguing. It had no tags or words, it was just a in white box.


    ''''It''s a secret!'''' She said with a grin.


    She moved her shoes to the shoe rack before picking up the box and running to the second floor. It was obvious the girl was excited about something.


    Since Isaac had gone to his grandparents, the mansion had lost some of its luster. Alice especially had be rather gloomy and hadn''t been her usual, boisterous self.


    Isabe wasn''t sure what had happened, but she was happy to see her daughter in such an excellent mood.


    ''''Well¡­ I''m off too!'''' Marvin quickly ascended the stairs, trying to disappear before the memory of their conversation returned.


    ''''Marvin!'''' He only heard his mother''s angry yell.


    Marvin, however, had already disappeared. He would deal with the consequencester.


    Once he reached the fourth floor, he went straight to his room.


    On his bed, his VR helmet was patiently waiting.


    When Marvin''s fingertips touched the steel texture of the helmet, he felt vibrationsing from his pocket. He pulled out his phone and opened the message.


    It was a message from his friend, Lionel. AKA, Lionsoul


    [Lionel: Go check the stream from UponTime in StreamKing!]


    ''''Hmm?'''' Marvin stuffed his phone back into his pocket and walked over to his desk.


    Hisptop sat already open on the desk. His reflection shown back on the ck screen.


    Marvin tapped a button on the side and watched the nk screen spring to life. The home screen popped up, and he didn''t waste any time navigating to the Inte Browser.


    *Tap* *Tap* Tap*


    The cking of theptop keys echoed in the room as Marvin''s hands danced across the keyboard. Once he was done typing, he pressed enter.


    The familiar sight of the StreamKing website appeared.


    ''''What was that name..?'''' Marvin had to pull his phone back out to check the message.


    ''''UponTime¡­'''' He typed the name in. The screen swiftly changed, and it took him a second to make out what was happening.


    On theptop screen, a stream was shown.


    The view count was rapidly rising.


    The chat was filled with harsh criticism.


    ''''Why the hell are they so angry?'''' Marvin turned his gaze to the stream and noticed that a battle was raging.


    At first, his face showed no reaction. He was somewhat interested, being that the Colosseum was a ce that he desperately wanted to visit.


    He had seen many clips of the Colosseum, and it looked like a ce where he and his friends would enjoy spending most of their time.


    However, the next moment, his eyes widened in shock.


    ''''Isaac¡­?'''' He muttered his brother''s name, staring at the screen in amazement.


    On the screen, a white-haired youth was desperately trying to fight back against a well-equipped Knight. It was painfully obvious who was winning.


    The Knight was a master at close quarterbat, but the white-haired youth held his own, even with a long-range ss. It was a miracle that he''dsted this long and was able to keep going.


    Marvin nced at the chat and clenched his fist when he started reading all of the mockingments.


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Snowstar.


    Four young men were also watching the stream from different households.


    They were the four friends of which Marvin yed alongside in White Online.


    All of them had their ownptops open and were staring at the same stream.


    Their usual yful demeanor was long gone, and their brows were furrowed down in anger.


    Lionel, AKA Lionsoul, stood up and cracked his knuckles before taking out his phone and messaging Marvin.


    [Lionel: We''ll see you in the Colosseum]


    Derek, AKA IDontWantToBeAHealer, grabbed his VR helmet andid down on the bed.


    Before putting it on, he slid his phone from his pocket and sent a message to Marvin.


    [Derek: Heading on now, see you in the Colosseum]


    After sending the message, he covered his head with the VR helmet and entered World of White with an enraged look in his eyes.


    Ins, AKA Foenix, was already lying on the bed with his VR helmet on hisp in another part of town.


    On the other side of the bed, theptop was still ying the live stream. Ins mmed theputer shut andy down on the bed.


    Like the two young men before him, he sent a message and entered the World of White directly after.


    In thest household, Nico, AKA Gerberys, was already wearing his VR helmet. He didn''t bother sending any messages to the others.


    Nico had a wide grin on his face.


    He knew his friends better than anyone! He could already guess what they were nning to do.


    His face went still, and his grin froze as he entered the World of White.


    ¡­


    Marvin nced at the messages and stuffed his phone back into his pocket.


    Hey on the bed with therge VR helmet. His furious countenance became emotionless, and like four other young men before him, he entered the World of White.


    They had only one goal in mind.

 Chapter 275 - Phantom Knight

    Chapter 275 - Phantom Knight.


    KnightOfHoliness walked in circles around the battlefield with his sword held in an already victorious position!


    The audience''s cheers filled his mind, awakening a sense of pride inside him that he wasn''t aware existed. For the first time in his life, he felt what it was like to be the greatest!


    Seeing the lovestruck gazes of the women in the crowd filled him with satisfaction, while the envious stares of the men filled him with arrogance.


    However, those feelings were dashed when a familiar voice cried out from behind him.


    ''''WATCH OUT!'''' The red-haired youth known as Smander called out to the showboating Knight.


    Isaac had once again raised his weapon, and the barrel was aimed at the back of the Knight''s uncovered head.


    *BANG!*


    KnightOfHoliness flinched and swiftly raised his shield into the path of the bullet.


    *CLANK!*


    The bullet ricocheted off the shield and flew off into the distance, somewhere outside the stadium.


    KnightOfHoliness lowered his shield, annoyance unmistakable on his handsome features.


    The gun''s barrel was smoking, and Isaac stared down the sight, his face not betraying any state of emotion.


    ''''Fine!'''' KnightOfHoliness lugged his shield in a position that covered his entire body.


    ''''I didn''t intend to outright humiliate you, but you just don''t know when to give up you brat!"


    Isaac let out a long breath of cold air, ''''Wheeeew¡­.''''


    The Knight had enough of this insolent young man and his casual attitude. He lunged forward, his heavy armor not hindering his movement in the slightest!


    He swiftly closed the distance between the two, arriving in front of Isaac before the young man had a chance to move. His grip on his sword tightened as excitement filled his mind.


    Unfortunately for him, Isaac had never intended on moving.


    As he stepped in front of the Marksman, he heard a sound that was vastly different from the previous explosions.


    *BAM!*


    The muffled sound of a gun firing rang through his head. The Knight couldn''t even tell if the shot had been from a gun. It was just too deafening!


    An ice-covered bullet left the barrel and prated the ground in front of the armored Knight. Frost burst out from the impact, and a thinyer of ice covered the ground.


    KnightOfHoliness''s foot slipped across the ice, and his right leg wasunched upward!


    The scene had gone from staring down the emotionless bastard in front of him to staring at the sky in an instant! He felt that he was about to end up on his back and knew that would prove to be fatal!


    He couldn''t let that happen!


    Though his right leg was up in the air and covered in frost, his left leg was still scarcely gripping the solid earth of the stadium!


    Memories of his childhood rushed into his mind. Something that he''d done hundreds of times came to mind, but to do it right now? It seemed outrageous!


    Still, it was the only solution he could think up on the spot. It was something he could do with his eyes closed... or even with a single leg.


    He put all the force he could muster into his left leg, leaping into the air! The Knight used the momentum of his frozen leg to kick backward, tucking his knees as he did so.


    His body rolled through the air, and thest-second backflip paid off! One second, he''d been dazed and worried for his life... the next, he was back to standing on solid ground!


    Cold sweat poured down his back as the thought of his imminent death was still clear in his eyes, yet his face betrayed the surprise that he felt at pulling off such a ridiculous save!


    The audience was utterly shocked at the disy of acrobatics that had urred before them. It didn''t go unnoticed that the women in the crowd had an even greater look of reverence in their eyes!


    If he''d busted his ass here, there was almost no way he would have been able to defend against the man in front of him! Luckily, he managed to pull off a save, and he was facing the Marksman as if the slip had never happened.


    He nced at theyer of ice on the ground and grimaced, ''''Ice..? Is this his true ability?''''


    Steam was still rolling out of the barrel of the sniper.


    [Icy Shot Used!]


    Isaac nced at the notification in front of him. He thought that he had a chance to end this match quickly by using this skill.


    However, KnightOfHoliness had exceeded his expectations.


    On the other side, even though he''d managed to survive, the Knight was feeling a tremendous amount of humiliation from the near-death experience!


    [Knight Rush Used!]


    The armored man crossed the distance between them in a single bound! To those watching, it looked as if the Knight was flying through the air!


    Isaac leapt out of the way before the Knight could steamroll over him.


    KnightOfHoliness brushed by his opponent. Isaac thought he''d gotten away, but the Knight shifted the position of his shield, and his body flew in a new direction!


    The Knight rotated almost a full hundred and eighty degrees and was once again rushing toward Isaac. He hadn''t lost any momentum! It was like the shield would drag him in any direction that it pointed!


    Though Isaac had managed to dodge, he hadn''t put much distance between himself and his opponent. With the sudden turn, the Knight was almost upon him!


    KnightOfHoliness raised his sword and struck down toward the man who dared to humiliate him in his moment of victory! This time, he would be sure to kill the bastard!


    Isaac raised his gun, barely managing to block the strike. It felt like a mountain had been dropped on top of him!


    He fell to his knees. The muscles in his arms bulged as they pressed back against the tremendous force! Isaac felt that his bones would shatter at any moment!


    To everyone watching, it looked as if the sword had been blocked... yet KnightOfHoliness let out a mischievous fit ofughter! This was the moment he''d been waiting for!


    [Phantom Knight Used!]


    The steel sword changed colors, and the metal suddenly became translucent! To Isaac, it looked as if things were happening in slow motion!


    One second, the steel sword was being blocked... the next, it had phased entirely through the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle!


    Isaac widened his eyes in shock and tried to move out of the way, but the speed of the strike was far beyond what he was capable of dodging at this range!


    *SPURT!*


    The sword not only phased through the rifle but also straight into his camouge clothing and the armor thaty beneath! As the sword prated his armor, the tip became solid once more and dragged through his torso!


    A deep gash formed, unable to be seen by the onlookers, and blood started filling his armor. His chest became numb, and an odd warmth spread across his chest and abdomen.


    "The sword... even passed through my armor..?"


    The sword was entirely solid now and was sticking out of his back, the tip covered in blood. KnightOfHoliness took his time pulling the de slowly from the young man''s chest, grinning as he did so.


    Blue blood rushed from the wound in his chest when the Knight finally pulled the sword free. The blood cascaded downward, staining his clothes and the ground beneath.


    ''This armor ispletely useless against him...'' Isaac''s eyes were closed, as he didn''t want to open his eyes to see the insane drop in HP that he knew had urred.


    ''If this armor is useless...'' What good was having armor if it couldn''t even protect him? How could he win this fight without it?


    Isaac mustered up the willpower to open his eyes.


    [-440 HP!]


    [HP: 7/526]


    KnightOfHoliness rested the edge of the sword on Isaac''s shoulder. A minute scratch showed on his neck as the de hovered just a hairsbreadth away.


    "Well, I can honestly say that I have enjoyed this little spar," The Knight looked condescendingly down at Isaac.


    He brushed his bangs to the side before continuing, "You should be proud that you were the stepping stone for the rise of the great KnightOfHoliness!"


    ''''Goodbye, Wraith!''''


    The audience''s cheers rang loudly in the stadium as the Knight once again swung his sword. The members of ck Arrow looked on in agony as the de closed the distance.


    The sword closed the distance, and a rain of blood showered the Knight as it slid across Isaac''s throat!


    *SPURT!*

 Chapter 276 - White Death’s Wraith

    Chapter 276 - White Death''s Wraith.


    *Thud*


    Isaac''s head separated from his body, and his head rolled across the ground. Blue blood sprayed out from the decapitated corpse, sttering across the Knight and the surrounding earth!


    KnightOfHoliness lifted his sword in the air and let out a triumphant cry!


    "YEEAAAHHH!!!"


    *CHEERS*


    The audience''s cheers echoed throughout the Colosseum once more, shaking the walls and ground. Loose pebbles rattled, and dust fell from the cracks.


    The women in the stands waved their hands while sending winks and kisses toward the majestic fighter.


    The men in the audience pped their hands with respect and yelled out how much they enjoyed the match.


    ''''Eek!'''' Many of the children covered their eyes and turned away from the gore that had been disyed.


    There were a few children who stared at the corpse. Their skin was thicker, but they still cringed back from the sight.


    KnightOfProtection and KnightOfCharming high-fived, excited grins on their faces.


    Smander was happy with the oue. However, the way KnightOfHoliness was acting caused his brows to furrow.


    TomValeo turned around and left without saying a word. He didn''t bother to tell anyone what was on his mind.


    Meanwhile, in the yer''s lounge...


    ''''Bastard¡­'''' Queen Diana bit her lip and stared at the man with hatred.


    Darth''s eyes stared at the man with a cold re.


    Colorful covered her mouth in shock with tears brimming from the corner of her eyes.


    Since the beginning of the match, the members of ck Arrow had been holding their breaths; now that they could finally breathe, they let out cries of frustration.


    The yers around them snickered at the sight.


    ''''So this is all Wraith amounts to? Hah, I knew that Marksman was a shit ss.''''


    ''''Sigh, they hyped him up for nothing.''''


    ''''Pathetic, hmph.''''


    ''''That Knight is definitely strong, though.''''


    ''''Decent, just barely enough to be considered a Pro.''''


    ''''Why are you acting so tough? He would kill you with a single strike!''''


    ''''What did you say?!''''


    Fights started to break out amongst the audience until the beautiful diator once again entered the arena. Her face held a gentle smile, and the atmosphere around the stadium instantly brightened.


    KnightOfHoliness puffed out his chest, and his heart beat faster as the woman walked closer. Her perfume wafted through the air, caressing his nose and causing him to lean forward to better catch the scent.


    The woman stopped just two meters away from the handsome Knight. She waved her arms in preparation to make the announcement!


    "And the winner of this bout is..."


    The Knight focused on the woman''s pink lips, excited for the beauty to call out his name! However, before she could finish speaking, another voice echoed through the stadium.


    ''''Wait!''''''


    Both the Knight and the diator flinched upon hearing the voice. It hade from right behind them.


    They slowly turned their heads, witnessing something they would likely never see again in their lives! The severed head was floating just above the ground and snaking its way back toward the fallen corpse!


    Once the head was close enough, Isaac''s body jerked slightly. The Knight jumped back in fear, and the voices of the audience were silenced.


    The head floated forward and pressed itself to the severed neck. The bones, nerves, muscles, and tissue began to shift as the two parts pulled themselves back together.


    Isaac''s severed spine melted together. Soon enough, the tears disappeared, and it looked as if the head had never left the body.


    Isaac''s fingers twitched, and his head slightly moved.


    To many of the members in the audience, it looked as if an evil spirit had possessed the body and was taking over!


    The diator jumped back in shock and fear. In all her years, she had never seen anything so bizarre!


    It wasn''t long before the eyelids opened, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared out into the arena.


    ''''Haahhh¡­''''


    Isaac opened his mouth and took a deep breath of fresh air. shing alerts in front of him caused him to squint his eyes until he managed to dismiss them.


    [HP: 1/526]


    [White Death Used!]


    [Time Limit: ???]


    [White Death: During this state, the yer will be immune to Death]


    Isaac''s pupils dted, making them look like the eyes of a cat.


    He dragged his hands back, pulling up a handful of dirt before releasing it and watching it drift slowly to the ground.


    The audience was dumbfounded.


    It didn''t matter the age of the person watching or what group they were affiliated with... All of them were equally stunned.


    The children particrly stared at this scene in awe, many of them alreadying up with tens of ideas about the man.


    ''''W-W-What?!'''' KnightOfHoliness turned to the pale-faced diator, ''''He died! I killed him!''''


    She gulped and shook her head, ''''H-He didn''t die.''''


    ''''What do you mean he didn''t die?!'''' The Knight shouted furiously and grabbed both of her shoulders, ''''HIS HEAD FUCKING FLEW OFF!''''


    She put her frail hand on the man''s sturdy armor and, without any effort, shoved the Knight multiple meters back.


    KnightOfHoliness was shocked by the woman''s physical strength. Even so, the woman turned and fled the arena, not wanting to be in the presence of Isaac any longer!


    The Knight turned, clutching the shield to his chest.


    *BANG!*


    He took a deep breath... If he hadn''t happened to turn just then... The ng of metal on metal echoed, and a bullet ricocheted off of his shield.


    His face clearly showed that he was enraged, but Isaac didn''t give him time to recover from his surprise. The Marksman leaped forward, covering the distance and aiming the rifle toward the Knight''s head.


    KnightOfHoliness slung his shield up to cover his face the moment he saw Isaac approaching!


    *BANG!*


    The bullet mmed into the shield, managing to withstand the impact. However, the force the shot exerted was tremendous at such close range!


    His shield arm was flung back, and his armored body waspletely exposed!


    ''Why are the hell are his bullets so much stronger now?!'' He groaned.


    The Knight tried to ce the shield between himself and his enemy once again, but he didn''t have time!


    *BANG!*


    Isaac squeezed the trigger, his umonly apathetic eyes staring at the enraged Knight.


    *WHOOSH*


    *CLANK*


    The Knight moved his sword to deflect the bullet, but the impact was even more substantial this time!


    The bullet slingshotted out of the Colosseum, but it didn''t matter at this point! The Knight''s posture was wrecked, and he waspletely open!


    Not having time to shoot, Isaac shoved the barrel of his gun forward, pushing the off-bnce Knight slightly and causing him to stumble over the rubble that he''d caused with his first strike of the match!


    KnightOfHoliness cried out as he fell backward,nding t on his ass!


    ''''Damnit!'''' The Knight cursed and tried to stand, but the butt of the rifle mmed into the center of his forehead! His head started to swell, and his vision swam.


    Isaac spun the gun around and rested the muzzle of his rifle on the Knight''s temple.


    The stadium became silent.


    Everyone held their breaths. No one could believe the scene that they''d just witnessed.


    KnightOfProtection and KnightOfCharming were shocked after seeing Wraith continuing to put up a fight... but now, they were wailing in despair.


    Smander clenched his fists until his palms bled.


    No one in yer Lounge spoke, not a single soul.


    They didn''t know it now... but this battle would be etched into history.


    The world would be talking about this match for years toe.

 Chapter 277 - Lord White Death

    Chapter 277 - Lord White Death.


    Outside of the Colosseum, bustling crowds fought for dominance in an attempt to be the first to make it to the stands! Evente into the afternoon, the line outside hadn''t shortened.


    yers, NPCs, children, adults, and the elderly were all waiting impatiently to enter.


    Even with all of the hubbub of the crowd, a nearby alleyway was deathly silent. A cloaked figure stood impatiently, tapping his foot on the ground, ncing from left to right.


    Whenever a Guard passed by the alley, he swiftly averted his gaze and obscured his face.


    ''''Damnit, guys¡­ Hurry up!'''' He whispered.


    The man felt like screaming his frustration to the world, but he would gather unnecessary attention if he did. He started to worry that his friends may have been caught.


    Just as the thought crossed his mind, four cloaked figures entered the alley from the opposing end. The cloaked figures jogged straight toward him.


    The young man turned his head toward them as they slipped the hoods back to reveal their countenances. The group''s yer tags were hovering right above their heads.


    [IDontWantToBeHealer]


    [Lionsoul]


    [Foenix]


    [Gerberys]


    ''''Yo, Marvin!''''


    They each greeted the cloaked figure, who had removed the cloak''s hood and smiled at the new arrivals. His brown hair and average face gave the rest a cordial smile.


    Marvin nodded at the four delinquents. He was impressed that everyone had made it here safely without running into issues with the Guard.


    ''''Let''s go,'''' Marvin slipped his hood back on and gestured for them to follow suit. ''''Let''s not make a scene.''''


    His friends nodded but wore heavy frowns. It wasn''t often that their ns proceeded smoothly.


    The group left the alley and mingled with the crowd of excited NPCs and yers. All of those present had the intent of getting into the already packed Colosseum.


    It didn''t take the group long to weasel their way through the crowd and make it to the entrance. The line was moving forward quickly... and they may have managed to skip a few ces.


    The efficiency of the diators controlling the entry had increased over this time. They would ask their questions, a group would move through, and the line would move forward.


    Their turn arrived, and the diator didn''t even raise his head as he scribbled on a pad. He jotted a note and asked a simple question.


    "diator or Spectator?"


    "diator," Marvin responded.


    "Un," The diator grunted and jerked his head, indicating for Marvin to proceed to the left.


    Marvin entered, making sure that his friends were following close behind. The corridor winded for a short way, and it only took them a minute to reach the end of the path.


    They soon reached the yer Lounge but were taken aback. The room, which should have been boisterous, was deathly silent.


    The silence was so deep that he could even hear his heart thrumming in his chest.


    Marvin frowned as he entered the lounge with the rest of the group. They swiftly noticed that everyone was staring wide-eyed and open-mouthed at the holographic screens around the room.


    Marvin and his group walked over to an unupied area and viewed the screen that was stationed there. The party of five instantly recognized the white-haired young man disyed on the screen.


    ''Wasn''t he just losing horribly..?''


    They all had the same thought, and the scene depicted on the screen wasn''t something they expected.


    Gerberys covered his mouth, chuckling in an almost child-like manner, "Hohoho! Aye!"


    Lionsoul also shed arge grin, "Heh!"


    IDontWantToBeHealer felt like bursting out in a fit ofughter, but he remembered his promise and took it seriously.


    ''Lowkey... Lowkey... Gotta keep it lowkey...''


    "I knew it!" Marvin eximed, elbowing Ins'' side. "Didn''t I say it?!"


    ''''Say what?'''' Ins asked, looking confused.


    ''''That he would win!'''' Marvin proudly puffed out his chest.


    ''''Well, he hasn''t won yet,'''' Lionel motioned toward the screen; for some reason, Isaac still hadn''t pulled the trigger and ended the match.


    The group members frowned, wondering what their white-haired friend could be waiting for.


    ¡­


    In the Arena.


    Therge doors were already open, and the stunning female diator was on stand-by, waiting for the strange man to end the match so that she could call for his victory.


    She was tapping her foot on the ground nervously.


    ''''W-Why isn''t he finishing him off?'''' She nced in the direction of the VIP rooms.


    Her superiors were watching from their seats and must have been just as confused as she was.


    ''''This is¡­ Insane.'''' She ran her fingers through her hair, making a mess out of it, ''''I knew yers could be insane, but this is on another level! How can someone reattach their head?!''''


    While staring at Isaac''s unflinching figure, she felt something stir in her heart. It was a strange feeling, and she was both nervous about and scared of the man in the arena.


    She even had a feeling that she should bow down to the man as if he were a higher being! It was a strange feeling because she had only ever bowed toward the Gods.


    No matter how she looked at it, her instincts were screaming at her to be respectful to this youth. It was strange, as she hadn''t felt that from the man until after his ridiculouseback.


    Something changed in the man after his head had been reattached... almost like he wasn''t the same person. The aura he gave off now was regal, and she suddenly felt that she should kneel before him and offer her undying loyalty.


    She couldn''t be sure if it was real or an illusion, but in her eyes, a spectral skull was floating behind the man. Small, white lights flickered in the sockets meant for its eyes.


    She locked her hands together and lowered her gaze, not wanting to draw the attention of the almost translucent skull that was examining the arena. Beads of sweat formed on her brow, and her body was shaking.


    ''''U-Umm¡­'''' The woman wasn''t sure what she should call such a thing... or even if she should, yet...


    Something inside of her called out... and a title she''d never heard sprung to mind.


    ''''Lord White Death¡­'''' The name felt strangely natural as she spoke it as if it were something she should have known all along. After letting it out, feelings of happiness and excitement surged through her body!


    It was like she''d finally found a reason for her existence!


    KnightOfHoliness, on the other hand, was panicking! He had no idea what the others were thinking, but he was freaking out!


    His shield and sword were only an arm''s length away, but he couldn''t muster the willpower to reach out and grab them! Even so, his initial fear was slowly turning into anger as he stared down the rifle barrel.


    The white-haired youth was only a single squeeze from taking his life, yet he just stood there! What the fuck was this? The man''s way of showboating?!


    ''Is it possible to use Phantom Knight on my entire body?'' The Knight suddenly had an intriguing idea. There was a high probability that it wouldn''t work, but he couldn''t see another way out.


    He''d seen many yers performing all sorts of wild and insane feats with their seemingly weak abilities. There were even theories that these skills could be fused with their mortal bodies!


    If this was the case, shouldn''t he at least give it a try?


    He could feel the cold barrel of the gun pressed to the center of his forehead. His lips trembled in fear, but his anger and determination finally surpassed the dread that he felt.


    The scenes of the audience shouting his name and the young women fawning over him sprung to mind. He couldn''t give that up!


    Never in his life had he dreamed that he could live like that! The life of a champion!


    ''I won''t lose. I am the great Knight Of Holiness!''


    [Phantom Knight Used!]


    KnightOfHoliness moved both of his arms, reaching for his sword and shield simultaneously.


    However, he noticed that he''d had made a grave mistake.


    *BANG!*


    Isaac pulled the trigger. The bullet ripped through the Knight''s forehead, a massive hole sting open in the back of his skull.


    Blue blood sttered for many meters behind the Knight''s body, painting the ground around him.


    The Knight died with a look of deep regret on his face.


    ''''It¡­ Didn''t¡­ Work¡­''''


    The Knight fell face-first into the dirt.


    The match was finally over.

 Chapter 278 - Isaac’s Luck

    Chapter 278 - Isaac''s Luck.


    After witnessing the handsome Knight copsing face-first into the dirt, the audience showed a wide range of emotions. The whole scene had happened as if it were in slow motion.


    The ones who''d grown fond of the Knight, particrly thedies, frowned in disappointment at his loss.


    Arge portion of the children stared down at Wraith with their hearts pumping excitedly! How awesome!


    The actions he''d disyed were something straight out of a fairytale!


    However, in this fairytale, it wasn''t the prince who won! It was the man who''d been called out as an enemy!


    Members of Wraithless red out through the steel bars, staring daggers at Isaac''s head. This victory didn''t sit well with them.


    Behind the other members, TomValeo had run back to the arena, and he was staring out with a look of disbelief on his face.


    "How... How the hell did he win?!"


    Back in the yer lounge, the members of ck Arrow were cheering! At first, their voices were the only ones that could be heard.


    That didn''t hold true for long.


    While the other spectators were speechless, Marvin and his group suddenly burst out in a loud fit ofughter!


    Theirughter earned raised eyebrows and irritated looks from the men and women in their surroundings.


    ''''Why are youughing?!'''' One of the yers snapped and screamed at the five men.


    Like many others, he had ced a sizeable bet on the Knight''s victory because it was supposed to be an easy win. Isaac was part of Marksman ss.


    He should have been outssed in every way in close-quarterbat!


    KnightOfHoliness had every advantage possible in this situation!


    The fact that the Knight had victory in the palm of his hands did nothing but rub salt in the wound! Victory was in his grasp! But it just filtered through his fingers like fine sand in the end.


    This only served to make the betting crowd furious.


    The loud cheering from the members of ck Arrow already pissed them off... though that group was too powerful for them to vent their frustrations on.


    This group of nobodies, however...


    These bastards decided tough so loudly right next to them?! They didn''t even take into ount the loser''s feelings? How dare they?!


    ''''Haaa?!'''' Marvin red at the yer who deigned to shout at him.


    His friends, Lionel, Niko, Ins, and Derek, raised their chins and looked down on the yer mockingly.


    The yer paled and shakily sat back down while the res of the five yers bore down on him. The pressure they gave off was insane!


    ''Where the hell did these delinquentse from?!'' He screamed internally.


    Nearby yers frowned at them. However, they averted their gazes when Marvin and the others shifted their eyes toward them.


    In the arena, Isaac strapped the gun to his back and watched as KnightOfHoliness''s body turned into light particles.


    The floating light blue pixels covered his body before the corpse disappeared entirely.


    The beautiful diator rushed forward with hurried steps from therge Colosseum doors. A stunning smile showed on her face, but it looked different from the one that she''d worn before.


    The woman usually smiled because it was a part of the job. Now...


    She was smiling because she genuinely wanted to. And it caused her to shine in a way that she never had before!


    The closer she got to Isaac, the more the beautiful woman glowed. Even so, as she neared the victor, she started to slow her steps.


    The audience didn''t miss this, and they certainly noticed when the diator stopped a whole five meters from the white-haired man.


    They didn''t me her. This man was terrifying! No one had gotten over the horrifying scene from just a few minutes prior!


    None of it made any sense! How the hell could someone live without their head?!


    Logic didn''t seem to apply to the white-haired youth standing in the center of the stadium.


    Unbeknownst to those watching, the diator wasn''t afraid...


    It was just taking everything she had not to prostrate herself in front of this God-like man before her! If she wasn''t forcing herself, she would have already kowtowed to the man and begged to be his servant!


    However, that would have had dire consequences. It wasmon knowledge that the citizens of Stronglord were only allowed to kowtow before the Gods and the Emperor.


    ''''E-Excuse me!'''' Her cheeks flushed, and she became even more embarrassed after hearing herself stutter.


    Isaac touched his throat and coughed lightly to ensure that he could still breathe and speak.


    ''That was terrifying! What the hell?! My head actually flew off!!'' He ran his hand across his throat, making sure that everything was attached.


    That was the most horrifying experience of his entire life!


    He''d watched the sharpened de tear through his neck as if it were moving in slow motion. His vision swam, and the world spun multiple times before he felt his head m into something!


    Next, he could see tens of texts filling his vision as a warm liquid covered his neck and face. It wasn''t until momentster that he realized his head had been severed, and he was feeling and tasting the blood running from his throat.


    ''''Ahem¡­'''' He coughed lightly. Once he was sure that his throat was working, he turned his gaze on the beautiful woman who stood before him.


    She felt the power in his gaze. It loomed over her like a storm over a peaceful meadow.


    Her eyes fell on his, and she felt them cut through her very being. His beautiful, wless face caused her to blush even further.


    ''''Yes?'''' Isaac asked the woman. He removed his hand from the back of his neck and tried to act casual, not wanting the spectators to think that he was just as freaked out as they were.


    He found that when he ran his eyes over the woman, his gazeing to rest on hers, the woman flinched and took a step back.


    He smiled apologetically. He couldn''t imagine how his performance must have looked.


    ''Well... I know that it couldn''t have been delightful to watch, but it wasn''t that bad... was it?'' He rubbed his hand around his neck again, wondering if there was a big scar where his head had been severed.


    "A-Ah... Umm... I-I," The woman continued to stutter, unsure of what to say to this God that stood before her.


    Her embarrassment grew, and she knew that she needed to do something. How would he look at her if she couldn''t even speak with him?!


    ''''W-Wheel of Victory!'''' She managed to cry out, and with a swipe of her hand, a sizeable holographic wheel appeared in the very center of the arena.


    The Colosseum fell silent.


    Even though everyone''s thoughts were wavering on how they felt about the match, this part was even more exciting! The Wheel of Victory!


    The spectators relished watching this wheel being spun even more than they enjoyed spectating the matches! It was like a game!


    Even after such a heated battle, this white-haired young man could walk away with a trove of treasure... or absolutely nothing!


    What would be the fate of this strange young man?


    Isaac walked up to the floating wheel, and he couldn''t help butment that the heavenly beauty took a step back with every step he moved forward.


    With a wry smile, he ced his hand on the side of the holographic wheel. He was stunned by the strange feeling of the object.


    It was like he was touching nothing at all, yet at the same time... he could feel that it was solid. What was this odd creation?


    Others who spun the wheel before him had put all their strength into spinning the massive wheel. On the other hand, Isaac only casually swiped at it, causing the wheel to rotate at a somewhat slower speed.


    There were multiple colors on the massive wheel. Each wasid out like a pie chart, some being muchrger while others were very thin.


    All of the colors were bright, and it was easy for even the audience sitting further away to monitor the spinning colors and the arrow on top.


    After spinning the wheel, Isaac casually stepped back and moved to the center so that he could get a look at the strange prize selector. The wheel spun, and the arrow on top pointed to a myriad of colors!


    Brown¡­


    White¡­


    Red¡­


    Pink¡­


    Blue¡­


    The colors passed by, but the wheel wasn''t spinning very fast. Isaac, the diator, and the audience could all clearly see that the wheel wouldn''t turn for a prolonged amount of time.


    The invisible gears on the strange contraption slowed to a crawl and eventually stopped. Gasps could be heard from those in the crowd.


    The diator stepped forward to see the results, and as she did, she stumbled back once more. She couldn''t believe what she was seeing!


    ''''No¡­ Way¡­'''' Her captivating eyes turned to Isaac, and her body trembled. She couldn''t believe that a young man like this could exist.


    He was beautiful, powerful, regal, and now... this man was even lucky! And not even slightly fortunate, but insanely so!


    Not only did the youth receive a fantastic prize, but the wheel had stopped on the tiniest sliver avable on the Wheel of Victory!


    The little bit of rity that remained in the diator''s eyes had disappeared. Her mind had shut down. She waspletely obsessed!


    ''''Gold!''''


    The woman cried out to the crowd, pointing toward the wheel that hadpletely stopped moving. Isaac nced at the holographic screen and saw that it currently only showed a single color.


    Gold.

 Chapter 279 - White Death’s Deactivation

    Chapter 279 - White Death''s Deactivation.


    Isaac frowned after seeing the golden-colored wheel.


    ''Doesn''t gold give out a Legacy quest?'' Isaac wondered. ''That''s useless. I already have one.''


    He turned to the awestruck diator. She was staring at him with a fawning smile on her face.


    ''Why is she so happy?'' Isaac looked over her expression and noticed how thrilled she was. For some reason, he felt that she was happier than himself was.


    ''''Ahem,'''' Isaac coughed, trying to get her attention without seeming rude.


    ''''Ah,'''' She flinched and then blushed from embarrassment. She''d been standing there awkwardly, not saying a word.


    ''''Y-Yes,'''' The woman coughed, turning to the audience. She gathered herself and spoke loudly. "The Victor is the yer, Wraith. His reward is..."


    *Doom Dun Dun Doom*


    The beating of drums suddenly sounded in the arena, shaking the ground and the seats below the audience. Isaac raised an eyebrow at the disy but didn''t say anything.


    ''''One visit to the Realm of Gods!'''' She cried out, her face flushed with the excitement of being able to give such a prestigious award.


    The members of the audience widened their eyes in shock! Their hearts beat faster as a shining, golden ticket appeared in the sky above the white-haired man!


    The golden ticket fell slowly, a shower of golden particles raining down with it!


    Isaac reached up and caught the ticket in his delicate hands.


    Thousands of eye pairs were locked on the ticket. Greed marred the faces of not only the spectating yers but also the many NPCs.


    The ticket was the only way that they would ever meet their beloved Gods or Goddesses, as they lived out of reach.


    The diator cut her eyes at those drooling with greed, and their nasty thoughts were instantly cut short. NPCs and yers both felt their bodies turn cold as the woman''s re was cast over them.


    Somewhere in the crowd, a man garbed in full-white attire stood, "That boy is so troublesome... He always manages to get dragged into something, doesn''t he?"


    Simo eyed the audience below him, seeing multiple eyes yearning for the golden ticket. Some were already rubbing their hands as if it were theirs.


    "Well... this could prove to be a good chance for him," The man muttered. "It won''t be good to let anyone bother him. A meeting with the Gods may do him some good, but it could also traumatize him."


    Under the mask, the man''s keen eyes were curved upward, and anyone observing him would know that he was smiling in delight. The man gave a light chuckle before returning to his thoughts.

    Back in the real world, Divinity slumped down on his chair with his shirt drenched in sweat. He ran his hand through his ck hair after wiping the sweat from his brow.


    He pressed his hand to his chest, feeling the erratic beating of his heart within. He''d been standing with his eyes glued to the screen for the entire fight.


    ''''Hahaha¡­'''' He clutched his stomach as heughed.


    Thements of the hundreds of people who had been talking trash had stopped entirely. Divinity grinned and pointed at the screen.


    ''''That''s right¡­ Be quiet!'''' He cried.


    ''''Hahahaha¡­'''' He clutched his stomach andughed till tears streamed down.


    ¡­


    In an empty grey room, pixels appeared in the air. Soon, the pixels began to take shape, first forming the legs, then the torso, and finally the head.


    Isaac''s eyes were heavy, and the weight of his exhaustion suddenly poured down on him. He nced around the empty room and sighed.


    ''Huh?''


    Isaac looked down, seeing that the golden ticket was still held tightly in his hands.


    He hadn''t had the chance to look at the text before, but now, it was like he was drawn to it. He slowly read the words aloud.


    "Path to the Realm of Gods has opened," Isaac felt his lips going dry as he called out to the system. "Interface!"


    The familiar holographic screen floated before him. He reached out and tapped on one of the many options.


    [Inventory]


    After making his selection, the Inventory reced the usual Interface. It was quite barren, and it only took him a moment to find a good spot to ce his golden ticket.


    Once he''d properly kept the ticket, he closed the Interface.


    Isaac noticed a single golden word floating against the wall on the other side of the room.


    [VICTORY!]


    Below the text, the ranking screen was floating, only a few meters away from touching the floor.


    [21. Wraith ¡ª 1 W - 0 L]


    With only one victory, he had jumped to the 21st rank.


    At the top of the rankings, a name that he''d seen earlier was nowhere to be found.


    ''''Darkside has dropped down¡­'''' Isaac scrolled through the rankings until he finally found the name at the 98th spot.


    A single loss caused him to lose 97 ranks...


    Isaac lowered his head and took onest look outside of the one-way window. The arena was being repaired.


    Even though the fight between Isaac and KnightOfHoliness had been primarily physical, the ground was still severely damaged.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac raised his jacket and took a look at his bare chest. He was surprised to find that his skin hadn''t been marred.


    The massive wound that should have been there from having his guts spilled was nowhere to be found! Only his smooth, wless skin could be seen.


    He covered his body once more and walked to the door''s single exit. It was a rtively simple door and looked odd standing in the in, gray room.


    It was a wooden door made of oak, and the handle was a material that was unknown to him.


    *Creak*


    Once the door was opened, he found a long corridor with yers walking back and forth. Some of them walked into the yer lounge, while many others had enough of the lingering around and decided to leave.


    Isaac stepped out of the door. Feeling something strange behind him, he turned quickly and found that the door had disappeared!


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' He brushed the strands of his hair out of his eyes, and suddenly, he felt even more exhausted.


    [White Death Deactivated!]


    ''''Oh.''''


    His limbs turned to jelly, and his vision swam as the skill deactivated. He leaned against the nearby wall.


    [HP: 1/526]


    ''My HP hasn''t recovered yet¡­'' Isaac heard the yers around him beginning to whisper. They just noticed him and could tell that he wasn''t feeling very well.


    ''''Hey, you alright?'''' A yer with greed-filled eyes approached him. He reached his hand to touch Isaac and acted like he was trying to touch his forehead. However, Isaac wouldn''t fall for something so simple.


    *Smack*


    Isaac pped the hand away and stood up with thest of his willpower, ''''I-I am fine.''''


    ''''I''m just trying to help,'''' The yer said with annoyance and looked around him before whispering with a grin. ''''Give me the ticket, and I will let you leave alive, deal?''''


    ''''Trying to help¡­ Huh?'''' Isaac said with noticeable disgust.


    The yer clenched his fist, ''''Don''t¡­ Fucking act tough¡­ It will get you killed.''''


    Isaac gritted his teeth; luckily, his time was up.


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]


    [Your wounds have been healed!]


    [HP: 526/526]

 Chapter 280 - Closure

    Chapter 280 - Closure.


    ''''Eh?'''' The yer jolted backward, almost crashing into yers behind him.


    ''''What the..?'''' Chills ran down his back, making his body jolt and flinch every time he met Isaac''s gray eyes.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' Isaac ran his hand over his hair and brushed past the greedy yer.


    After getting pushed to the side, the yer woke up from his stupor and turned around to look at Isaac''s retreating back.


    ''''You should watch your back!'''' The yer tried to save all the face he had left, ''''Ignorance is stupidity!''''


    Isaac nced behind him and smiled, ''''Stupidity¡­ Sure.''''


    He turned his head away from the petty man and proceeded to walk further away from the crowd of greedy yers, who held both temptation and wariness in their eyes.


    The temptation to steal the golden ticket, wariness from the likely consequence of trying to do so.


    While walking through the crowded corridors, Isaac strolled through the crowd casually. Each step caused more yers to stand aside to let him walk forward unhindered.


    The yers had mixed reactions. A few of them nced at his neck and noticed that they couldn''t see any marks of his head ever being separated.


    This made them fearful. Never had they met a yer who could not be killed.


    Many of them decided toin to the Legacy Company and spread the news to every News Station that would be willing to listen to them.


    Isaac had no idea that there would be a storming and already saw the yer Lounge in the distance. The sounds of talking andughter drifted through the air and reached his ears.


    However, when Isaac left the corridor and took the first steps inside the boisterous lounge, everything became silent.


    Isaac''s gaze passed over hundreds of yers andnded on Darth''s face. He walked by the other yers, whose gazes followed him with every step.


    Darth had already stood up and rushed over. He patted Isaac''s shoulder and smiled, ''''Haha, that match was something else!''''


    The members of the ck Arrow guild looked at Isaac with mixed reactions. There was amazement, wonder, and even respect.


    ''''Congrattions!'''' Queen Diana gave him a quick hug and nced at his neck, surprised to see that nothing was wrong with it.


    Isaac nodded and separated from the hug, ''''Thanks.''''


    He plopped down on the soft cushioned couch, ''''Whew¡­''''


    Darth sat next to him and nced at the side of his face, ''''What was that thing before? That skill is way too powerful, and it was nothing like any of the Marksman skills.''''


    ''''It''s¡­'''' Isaac scratched at the back of his head, ''''A secret. For now, at least.''''


    ''''I understand,'''' Darth nodded and didn''t delve any further into it.


    The nearby yers trying to eavesdrop felt disappointed after not being able to hear anything about the God-like skill.


    Queen Diana was about to open her mouth. However, an individual soon sat next to her and wrapped his arm around Isaac''s shoulder.


    Isaac stopped moving and felt the heavy arm around his shoulder; for some reason, he felt pressured.


    Darth and other ck Arrow members took their bows and arrows from their quivers.


    ''''Easy now¡­'''' The individual spoke and grinned, ''''Isa¡­ Wraith, right?''''


    Isaac widened his eyes as he recognized the voice. He turned his head slowly and felt his words getting caught in his throat.


    ''''Who are you?'''' Queen Diana took an arrow from the quiver and rested it on the individual''s neck.


    ''''Stop!'''' Isaac said to her and carefully pushed away the arrow.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Queen Diana frowned and saw that Isaac was smiling for some reason. She raised an eyebrow and looked back and forth between Isaac and the unknown figure.


    Darth and everyone else were just as confused.


    ''''Everyone.'''' Isaac pointed his thumb at the average-looking man and said, ''''This is my big brother.''''


    Marvin raised his hand and smiled, ''''Yo!''''


    ''''What?!'''' Darth eximed.


    Colorful had been quiet this entire time, and from the moment Marvin appeared, she had already recognized him. She was the only one who hadn''t bothered drawing her weapons.


    Queen Diana, with embarrassment, ced the arrow back into her quiver and bowed with an apologetic look, ''''I''m sorry about that.''''


    ''''It''s fine,'''' Marvin waved his hand and whispered to Isaac. '''' Hey, you should look behind you.''''


    Isaac did as his older brother suggested and turned his head. At first, he simply saw the crowd of yers; however, toward the back of the lounge area, he saw four individuals gathered on a long couch.


    He recognized the men instantly, ''''Oh no¡­ You put together a full squad of troublemakers¡­''''


    Marvin grinned and said, ''''Let''s go talk to them.''''


    ''''Alright,'''' Isaac stood up alongside Marvin and walked by the others. It didn''t take long to reach the couch, where four delinquent-looking men were seated.


    Lionel, Niko, Ins, and Derek raised their chins and saw Marvin walking toward them with a white-haired youth.


    ''''Yo!'''' Lionel grinned and waved his hand, ''''Nice match.''''


    Niko grabbed a tiny rock from the floor and threw it at Isaac.


    Isaac caught it effortlessly and instantly flicked it off toward Derek.


    ''''Hey!'''' Derek barely caught the pebble and threw it at Marvin.


    Marvin snatched it out of the air and threw it to Ins.


    Ins pped the rock away and snorted, ''''You fucking children.''''


    Isaac sat in the center of the delinquents. In the eyes of the yers gathered in the lounge, it looked like he was about to get bullied.


    ''''Isaac, you went to visit your grandparents?'''' Lionel asked, ''''Marvin said something about it earlier.''''


    ''''Yeah, the view is fucking awesome,'''' Isaac recalled the Layer of Feasting and started talking about it, ''''There is this ce called Layer of Feasting. Every moment of the day, the smell of food lingers in the air. It''s an incredible ce.''''


    They listened closely, and Marvin was already feeling hungry just by Isaac''s talking about food.


    ''''I remember watching a cooking match that was happening there,'''' Isaac chuckled after recalling the different instances of the trip.


    ''''Any idea how long you will be there?'''' Ins asked from behind Isaac.


    ''''No, why?'''' Isaac turned around to look him in the eye.


    ''''Well. We already thought you woulde with us to beat the fuck out of Oliver,'''' Ins said while Lionel, Niko, and Derek nodded.


    Marvin waved his hand and patted his shoulder, ''''Isaac wants to beat the shit out of him by himself.''''


    ''''Ohhh.'''' Niko grinned, ''''Real life isn''t a game. It''s dangerous, especially knowing that coward is always surrounded by his dickless friends.''''


    ''''I am aware,'''' Isaac locked his fingers and looked coldly in front of him. ''''However, it''s just something that I have to do.''''


    ''''I can teach you a few moves!'''' Lionel stood up and cracked his knuckles, ''''Even Oliver has some fighting experience.''''


    ''''Thank you,'''' Isaac nodded, and he meant it. There was no way he would decline Lionel''s kind intentions, especially knowing that Lionel was one of the strongest people he knew.


    Suddenly, their discussion was interrupted by loud dinging noise.


    *DING* *DING*


    Their annoyed gazes shifted to the holographic screens.


    Every yer present turned to the holographic screens and read the messages that had appeared there.


    [The Colosseum Has Been Closed For Today!]


    [You are wee to return tomorrow at 10 A.M!]

 Chapter 281 Forever.

    The yers stood after the message appeared, leaving the lounge and making a ruckus while doing so.


    The members of ck Arrow walked by Isaac and Marvin''s group, bidding farewells as they passed. It didn''t take long before ck Arrow''s members strode out of sight, their green robes fluttering behind them.


    Isaac stood up alongside Marvin and the rest. They waited for arger crowd to leave and filtered in behind them, blending in with their numbers.


    Niko turned to the white-haired man and asked a question, ''''Isaac, I heard some yers talking about your head being severed. Why didn''t you die?''''


    Marvin also had the same question but assumed it was another skill in White Online and didn''t really care to dig deeper into it.


    Niko, however, realized how valuable such a skill would be! Everyone would be vying for it if there was a chance to learn it!


    ''''It''s a skill of mine,'''' Isaac whispered, trying to avoid prying ears. ''''However, it''s not as overpowered as that battle made it seem.''''


    ''''Hmm,'''' Niko pondered for a moment and came to a realization. ''''Is it Legacy skill?''''


    The group collectively turned their heads to Isaac, and they saw him slowly nodding his head.


    ''''Damn!'''' Lionel eximed, ''''That is insane!''''


    Ins sighed and looked at his cane, ''''I want Legacy too. I''m tired of being a healer, fuck!''''


    ''''Shut up, you will be a good little puppy and act as our support!'''' Niko grinned and rubbed Ins'' head.


    ''''Fuck off!'''' Ins pped the Niko''s hand away and harrumphed with anger.


    Marvin rolled his eyes, ''''Ah, right. Hoods, everyone!''''


    As if it had been practiced, they covered their faces with hoods in the same instant. Their delinquent figures were suddenly shrouded in mystery.


    Isaac scratched his cheek, ''''I see now.''''


    ''''You saw nothing,'''' Marvin said while threatening to poke his eyes with hand signals. Isaac zipped his lips shut and shed him an OK sign.


    Soon, they reached the end of the corridor and saw an endless line of NPCs and yers exiting the Colosseum.


    However, the yers who wanted to be diators had a separate exit, allowing them to leave unhindered.


    Their group also took that exit and soon left the Colosseum behind.


    After swimming through the endless waves of people, they reached the streets and quickly separated themselves from the crowd.


    ''''Fucking hell,'''' Marvin nced behind him and clicked his tongue, ''''Tch, they could have at least given a warning signal before closing Colosseum. Look at this mess!''''


    Niko shrugged, ''''Well, they must not have taken to ount that literally the whole yer base was going to visit the Colosseum.''''


    ''''That''s true,'''' Marvin noticed another building in the distance that was crowding with yers who were leaving the Colosseum.


    ''''Is that the¡­ World Bank?'''' He looked at Isaac, who nodded in confirmation.


    ''''Hmm, should we rob it?'''' Lionel suggested. However, received a chop in the head from Marvin.


    ''''Did you forget that we were trying to be lowkey?!''''


    Lionel rubbed his head and chuckled, ''''It''s fine as long we don''t get caught.''''


    Ins, Derek, and Niko also started thinking about it, making Marvin sigh in resignation.


    ''''If you are going to rob it¡­'''' Isaac nced at them and shrugged. ''''Don''t steal mine.''''


    ''''Ok.'''' Lionel grinned and nced at the building made of gold and white marble. ''''One day¡­''''


    After jumping through a few alleyways, they left the streets and reached the grounds of a pleasant coffee shop. The shop''s interior was crowded with tired NPCs who had dried throats after many minutes of shouting and screaming.


    Isaac and the rest took a seat at a round table that was ced neatly in front of the shop. It didn''t take long for a waitress toe from the shop with disheveled hair after pushing through the clustered crowd of people.


    She saw that one of the tables was full and walked toward them; however, the closer she got to the group, the more fearful she became.


    The hooded figures looked far from friendly, and in her eyes, she thought she noticed a piercing red light emanating from their eyes.


    The clipboard in her hand trembled, and she wanted to turn around and hide in the shop, but she''d already reached the table without her realizing it.


    She opened her mouth, but no words came out.


    ''''Six coffees, in,'''' Isaac remembered that everyone had the same taste in coffee. in, without any extra caffeine, and no fancy vors.


    The waitress shakily nodded and returned to the shop with hurried steps.


    Marvin looked around him and saw that there were no guards in sight. However, the longer they stayed, the more dangerous it became.


    ''''We have to leave once we''ve finished drinking,'''' He spoke softly.


    Isaac nodded and nced inside the store, where the waitress was already holding a serving tter with six cups.


    ''Way more efficient than any shop in real life,'' He mused.


    ''''Alright¡­'''' Isaac sighed and said. ''''I have to log out soon anyway.''''


    ''''Is everything alright there?'''' Marvin asked.


    Isaac nodded, ''''Everything is good. They really act like they want to fix our strained rtionship.''''


    ''''You have that effect on people,'''' Marvin turned his gaze toward the waitress, who appeared and quickly ced the cups on the table before scurrying back into the store.


    He grabbed one of the cups and took a sip.


    They drank in rtive silence, trying to enjoy the taste.


    However, the tiny cups couldn''t quench their thirst before it was time for them to part ways.


    Marvin stood up and gave Isaac a firm pat on the shoulder, ''''Take care. We might not be able to see you before you return to Snowstar.''''


    Isaac nodded, and when his big brother and friends were about to leave, he remembered something.


    ''''Wait!'''' He opened his Interface and sent over five friend requests.


    Marvin and his friends saw the message pop up in front of them, and without further ado, they epted and left after bidding their farewells.


    Isaac watched them leave and saw them being just as loud and chaotic as before. A chuckle escaped his mouth.


    ''''Lowkey¡­ I need to escort them to a dictionary and point out what it actually means,'''' With anotherugh, he left the yard and walked toward the neighborhood.


    After walking for half an hour, enjoying the fresh air and calm atmosphere, he reached the neighborhood''s gates.


    Without any hups, he entered and soon reached his rented house.


    He grabbed the silver key from his Inventory and pushed it into the keyhole. He twisted and watched as the door opened.


    He entered the door and saw the dimly lit kitchen and living room.


    No sound reached his ears, and the shoe rack was empty.


    ''''She''s not here¡­'''' He mumbled, and after making sure that the door was properly locked, he said aloud ''''Interface.''''


    The holographic screen popped out of thin air.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' This exhausting gaming session was done, and only one thing was left to do.


    To press [Log Out]


    Once his finger touched it, he felt his consciousness transfer from one ce to another.


    His figure turned into floating particles, leaving no traces of him ever existing. Only the memories he''d made in Colosseum.


    Memories that everyone who had witnessed his victory would remember...


    Forever.

 Chapter 282 Lord Kalzer.

    Isaac''s eyelids fluttered open, and several blinkster, he opened them entirely and sat up on the bed.


    He pressed a button on the side of the headgear and set it back in the box thaty on the floor beside him.


    He stood up and carried the box to the wardrobe, where he hid it away.


    *Bam*


    He closed the doors after hiding the headset and returned to his bed. However, before reaching his destination, he heard a knock on the door.


    *Knock* *Knock*


    After several knocks, the door opened, and Madison''s head peeked. At first, she made sure that her grandson was dressed and awake.


    ''''I thought I heard a noise,'''' She said and opened the door to let herself in.


    ''''Ah,'''' Isaac nced at the wardrobe and nodded, ''''Yes, I am done ying for today.''''


    ''''Good¡­'''' Madison moved strands of her hair over the ear and said, ''''What an update.''''


    Isaac scratched his hair and touched the bed frame, ''''Indeed.''''


    He still felt slightly awkward around his grandparents, but he was getting better at showing his emotions toward someone he wasn''t familiar with.


    Madison smiled and remembered something that she felt should be mentioned, ''''Right¡­ Umm, Malcolm will return soon, so I will start making dinner. It should be ready in about¡­''''


    She didn''t have her wristwatch and had to look at the clock on the wall.


    ''''At around 8 P.M.''''


    ''''Alright.'''' Isaac saw that he had approximately an hour to wait.


    Madison put her hands behind her back and turned to walk out the door, ''''Well¡­ See you there?''''


    She turned her head and looked at the young man, her eyes searching for an answer.


    ''''Yes,'''' Isaac replied.


    Madison smiled and was about to leave the room. However, she remembered another crucial thing.


    She kept the door open and said, ''''Tomorrow¡­ My friend''s granddaughter wille to visit, and she would like to meet you.''''


    ''''Oh?'''' Isaac grabbed the TV Remote from his nearby desk and said with an apologetic face, ''''I already promised to grandfather I''d go hunting with him. I''m sorry.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Madison looked surprised, and her eyebrow twitched in anger, ''''Did he force you?''''


    ''''Ah, no.'''' Isaac shook his head, ''''Of course not, I wanted to.''''


    After saying it, he thought, ''I can''t miss this chance to use a real hunting rifle.''


    He thought that it might be perfect training for him. He could get a true feel for a gun and maybe learn how to maximize his efficiency with the Mosin-Nagant.


    She wanted to believe him, but growing concern welled up inside her. None of the younger generations had taken any liking toward hunting.


    Instead, they were more interested in partying. That already affected the older generations'' way of thinking. Because of them, they saw the younger generation in a bad light.


    ''''Alright¡­'''' Madison said quietly and nned to have a lengthy conversation with her husband.


    She left the room and closed the door behind her.


    Isaac remembered after she left, ''''Right¡­ He told me not to tell her¡­ Well, I think it will be fine.'''' He shrugged, no idea what kind of storm he stirred inside this household of Whitelock''s.


    ''''Let''s see what the update did to the world,'''' He sat down on the soft, cushioned pad and turned on the television.


    The nk screen lit up, and after changing channels, he found what he was looking for. The News Channel.


    Isaac adjusted himself to afier position and patiently waited for themercials to end.


    On TV, a handsome middle-aged man with a well-groomed beard appeared. He was holding stacks of papers with many different kinds of pictures on them taken from social media.


    He ced the stacks of papers on the desk in front of him.


    That intro took 5 seconds alone. It didn''t seem that the man was in a hurry to start.


    ''''Ladies and gentlemen,'''' He opened his mouth and began to speak in a calm tone, ''''We have been talking about the hit game, White Online, for an entire day, and we have decided to give another piece of interesting news.''''


    ''''Our News Agency has managed to get in contact with world''s¡­'''' He paused for a moment, letting viewers wait in agony, until he continued again, ''''Number one yer.''''


    Isaac''s jaw dropped, remembering the ranking list, ''''Number¡­ One¡­ yer?''''


    The handsome middle-aged man continued with a calm smile, ''''Everyone, please wee the world''s number one yer, Lord Kalzer!''''


    The screen was split in half. The middle-aged man was sitting with a false calm on the left side. Clear beads of sweat were forming above his brow.


    On the right half of the screen, a masked man appeared.


    A ck hood covered most of his head with a mask covering his jaw, mouth, nose, and cheeks. However, his eyes and forehead were visible, even with the hood on.


    Even with very few of the man''s features visible, it could be seen that he was a rtively young man. If Isaac had to guess, he''d ce the man at around twenty.


    Behind the youth, a spacious room showed everyone that he should have been rtively wealthy. On the walls, countless posters were nailed up. Most of them had some Godly or historical figure on them.


    Isaac managed to notice pictures of Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, and Hermes. However, these pictures were purely imaginative.


    No one truly knew what they looked like in the game. Not yet, at least.


    Under the image of the youth, a name popped up.


    [Lord Kalzer]


    He remained quiet, calmly looking at the middle-aged man, who cleared his throat and tried to keep up his act of professionalism.


    ''''Lord Kalzer,'''' He smiled, ''''You are widely recognized as the Top yer of White Online. How do you feel about reaching such a prestigious position?''''


    ''''Nothing,'''' Lord Kalzer''s crispy voice was heard through the audio.


    ''''Ah¡­'''' The middle-aged man didn''t expect such a simple answer, ''''Alright¡­ Umm.''''


    He quickly shuffled through the papers in his hands, trying to find another question as fast as possible.


    ''''What was your reaction when you saw your name in the top 1 spot for the very first time?''''


    ''''Wow,'''' Lord Kalzer''s voice was dull, almost emotionless in the way that he''d said it. The middle-aged man wiped his sweat and saw that his co-workers were pointing at the clock.


    They made motions with their hands and told him to get the young man to speak. They only had so much time avable with him on the air!


    ''Fuck!'' He cursed inwardly and asked the first question that came to mind. He blurted it out without thinking about what exactly it was that he was asking.


    ''''Do you hold a Legacy already?''''


    The man instantly regretted asking such a stupid question, and he immediately flinched when he saw his coworkers smacking their foreheads. He was under the gun and had to make up something on the spot!


    What did they expect?!


    Lord Kalzer sat silently, staring at the News anchor that had asked the question. Only one word left the young man''s lips and was heard through every television that was tuned in.


    "Bye."


    The screen went nk, leaving a stunned crowd behind. The only thing left on the channel was the News anchor staring dumbly ahead.


    Update thetest chapter at .Com

 Chapter 283 Battle Of Social Media.

    Isaac stared at the television, stunned. The top yer in the world had said next to nothing, but his actions had been borderline boorish.


    The News cut to break moments after, and another of the daily talk shows began to y. Of course, the show''s primary subject was White Online.


    Isaac turned off the television after realizing that the subject of their conversation was just idle chitchat.


    After watching that interview, he could already imagine what the message boards were saying. Isaac opened up the social tab on his phone and scrolled to the forums.


    A majority of thementers were yers from Summend praising Lord Kalzer for his casual attitude. There was a minority, however, who wanted to stir drama.


    The trolls continually insulted the young man. Theymented on how arrogant, selfish, and disrespectful the yer had been.


    Meanwhile, the boot kissers from his homnd rushed to defend him.


    To Isaac, Lord Kalzer was nothing like that. He just felt that the number one yer didn''t give a shit about the interview and only epted so that they would stop pestering him.


    In Issac''s case, only a few of the less popr News channels continually bugged him. He never received an offer from the top News channel in Wintend.


    As he moved to close his phone, one of the articles caught his eye.


    The article talked about how Lord Kalzer was hiding his Legacy, which displeased a majority of the yer base.


    Many theories were tossed back and forth in thements about why he refused to share his Legacy. Most of them were downright foolish.


    Isaac shook his head at the bullshit that was spreading on the forums andpletely deleted the app. After watching the app disappear from his screen, he turned off the screen and slipped it into his pocket.


    ncing at the clock, he noticed that there were still fifty minutes until dinner. He hadn''t wasted as much time as he''d thought.


    Isaac pulled his phone back out, spending his time re-reading some of his old messages and tapping away on a couple of mobile games. Just before 8 PM, Isaac slipped his phone into his pocket and made his way downstairs.


    He reached the bottom of the stairs quickly, and before turning into the dining room, the front door swung open. A muscr elderly man stepped through the entryway, holding a briefcase in his right hand.


    "Whew!" Malcolm cried out exaggeratedly as he slipped off his jacket. He hung the coat neatly on the hanger and ced his shoes perfectly in line with Madison''s.


    "My arms are so sore..." Malcolm continued speaking in an excessively loud voice. He rubbed his arms, trying to massage away the pain.


    He then noticed Isaac standing at the bottom of the stairs watching him. The old man adjusted himself before speaking.


    ''''Ah, Isaac.'''' He quickly changed his look, recing his pained gaze with a calm one, ''''Did anything interesting happen while I was gone?''''


    ''''Hmm, somewhat," Isaac responded.


    Isaac, for some reason, felt more at ease with Malcolm than with Madison and replied casually.


    Malcolm nodded and showed Isaac his briefcase, ''''Can you tell me more after I''ve taken this to my office?''''


    ''''Sure,'''' Isaac stepped to the side and allowed the man onto the stairs, ''''Ah, right. I might have let something slip about tomorrow''s hunting trip. It won''t be a problem, right?''''


    Malcolm''s steps halted, and his face suddenly changed shades, ''''A-Ah¡­ N-No.''''


    He promptly scurried up to the second floor and almost ran to his office on the fourth floor.


    Isaac rubbed his cheek, ''''He seemed¡­ In a hurry.''''


    ''''Malcolm?!'''' Madison''s head popped from the kitchen and scanned the area. However, she didn''t see her husband anywhere.


    But, she noticed her grandson, Isaac standing alone.


    ''''Oh, Isaac.'''' She smiled and asked, ''''Has Malcolm made it home yet?''''


    ''''Yes, he went up to his office,'''' Isaac replied and stepped to the doorway that led into the kitchen, ''''He will be back down soon.''''


    Madison tightened her grasp on the hilt of the knife she was holding. She smiled innocently at Isaac, ''''That''s good.''''


    *BAM!*


    She mmed the knife down on the cutting board, leaving a sizeable mark.


    Isaac wiped his sweat, ''''That''s quite some arm.''''


    ''''Hehe, thank you,'''' Madison smiled, and her voice turned cold, ''''I have been training¡­ For a moment, I needed to¡­''''


    Her smile broadened, reminding Isaac of some viin in an old cartoon, ''''Malcolm¡­ Oh, Malcolm¡­''''


    ''''Right¡­'''' Isaac left the kitchen with hurried steps. He reached the living room and slumped down on the cushy couch.


    Isaac heard footsteps echoing down the stairs. When they reached the bottom, he heard them stop, and the kitchen door slowly creaking open.


    Malcolm nced into the seemingly empty kitchen, his nose inhaling the delectable scent of the meal drifting through the air.


    *Grab*


    A handtched onto the man''s shoulder, and his body frozepletely. He turned his head slowly to find his wife''s crazed eyes staring into his.


    ''''Malcolm¡­'''' Madison''s bone-chilling voice cut through the kitchen.


    ''''Yes..?'''' Malcolm tried to act casual.


    Madison narrowed her eyes and asked, ''''Did you force Isaac to ept your invitation?''''


    ''''Of course not!'''' Malcolm said seriously. He had forced Maxwell to go with him, and the trip had turned out horribly! That boy had no interest in hunting.


    ''''¡­'''' She stayed silent for a moment. She had known her husband for forty years and could readily ascertain whether or not he was lying.


    ''''Alright¡­ Good,'''' Madison sighed in relief and spun the knife she held between her fingers.


    Malcolm paled. His lips trembled as he asked, ''''I-Is food ready?''''


    ''''Yes!'''' Madison replied, a beautiful smile returning to her lips as she hopped back to the kitchen, ''''I will bring the tes!''''


    Malcolm walked into the dining room and saw Isaac standing there awkwardly. The two sat down at opposite ends of the dining table.


    Soon, Madison arrived with tes, and the mealmenced. While eating, they asked Isaac what he''d been up to in White Online, and he gave them straightforward answers.


    He visited Colosseum, the World Bank, and a coffee shop. However, didn''t talk about him personally fighting in the arena.


    Malcolm and Madison also had their own conversation, which Isaac couldn''t follow. They appeared to be talking about some meeting in White Online, and Madison seemed relieved knowing it had been sessful.


    After they ate, Madison and Malcolm returned to their room to continue their chat, while Isaac returned to his own.


    He went straight to the bed, but he remembered something before shutting out the lights.


    ''''Right¡­ Did the money arrive for those who wanted to transfer their white coins to real-life currency¡­'''' Isaac didn''t want to do it yet, but there must have been anxious yers who did it instantly.


    Having deleted his social media ount, he went onto the official game forums with his phone, and it didn''t take long to find a post about it.


    The yer who wrote the post was thrilled. He mentioned that 20$ had already arrived in his bank ount.


    It seemed to be the first time he had ever earned money, and surprisingly, he was only in his first year of high school!


    ''''Interesting¡­'''' Isaac shut off the phone and sighed when he thought about the two world''s futures.


    ''''The world will definitely change¡­ Anyway, tomorrow I will go hunting... and after that¡­''''


    "It''s time for me to join the ranks of the top 10000!"

 Chapter 284 Superhuman.

    The following morning, Isaac and Malcolm met in the front lounge with their hunting gear. Large backpacks were slung over their shoulders.


    ''''Water¡­ First Aid Kit¡­ Knife¡­ Survival nket¡­ shlight¡­ Lighter¡­ Bullets¡­'''' Isaac went through all his equipment, verifying that he hadn''t forgotten anything.


    Malcolm was calmly standing with his backpack hanging from his shoulders. He had already checked five times and had made sure that he hadn''t forgotten anything.


    Madison appeared with several stic containers from the kitchen. The containers were small enough that she didn''t have any issues toting them.


    ''''Here you go,'''' She gave the containers to Malcolm.


    ''''Thank you.'''' Malcolm stored the snacks inside of his backpack, and after patting his pockets and making sure that his phone and wallet were there, he was prepared to leave.


    ''''Do you have your hunter license with you?'''' Madison asked her husband, who almost always forgot something important when he went out.


    ''''Right¡­'''' He rubbed his forehead and pulled his wallet from his back pocket.


    He flipped it open and saw that his hunter''s license was in ce, where it always had been.


    ''''I''ve got it,'''' Malcolm stuffed the wallet back into his pocket and gave Madison a quick peck on her cheek, ''''See you tonight.''''


    ''''I''ll see you both tonight!'''' Madison waved her hand and smiled as Malcolm and Isaac left the house.


    Once the mansion''s door was closed, Malcolm pulled out his keys, pressing a button as he did so. The doors to the car opened up on their own.


    Isaac sat his backpack in the backseat and sat down in the front.


    Malcolm did the same and sat in the driver''s seat before starting the car. The engine hummed to life, roaring as Malcolm tapped the gas pedal.


    *Vroom!*


    The car''s engine revved as it pulled out of the driveway, and soon their journey had begun.


    After the car passed through the gates, Isaac asked, ''''Where will we go hunting?''''


    He hadn''t bothered asking yet. However, he wasn''t really certain how else to start a conversation, and he was curious.


    ''''Did you see that enormous forest while you were in the air?'''' Malcolm was referring to his flight in. It should have taken his grandson right over the forest.


    ''''Umm¡­'''' Isaac had a hazy memory but couldn''t ce it, ''''Not quite¡­.''''


    ''''It is around ten kilometers from Brightstar,'''' Malcolm turned the steering wheel and entered another part of the neighborhood, ''''It is a ce where bears and wolves triumph. There are also birds, etc. It''s the perfect hunting ground for anything that''s in season.''''


    Isaac nodded and looked outside the window at the passing mansions. Fancy-looking men, women, teenagers, and children walked along the streets.


    Their bodies were clothed in winter clothing. However, the clothes were way more grandiloquent than Isaac had ever seen.


    The car soon left the Layer of Nobility, and the majestic mansions and luxurious vehicles faded from view.


    Isaac rolled down the window and took a long and deep breath. The fresh air invaded his senses, rxing him and filling him with satisfaction.


    ''''Whoo¡­'''' He breathed out deeply, enjoying the wind on his face.


    Malcolm looked at him with envy. After living in Brightstar for countless years, he had lost that great sense of satisfaction that one received from the Layer of Feasting.


    Strands of his pure white hair waved around him. Isaac''s visage resembled a work of art, with his wless face and hair fluttering in the wind.


    He didn''t bother closing the tinted window, enjoying the views and the fresh air as they slowly rolled through the streets.


    Many of the elderly folks noticed him. They looked on as the car passed, fascinated by the unique-looking young man who sat in the passenger seat.


    Isaac watched them. They were cooking food, their hands moving masterfully as if they had many years of experience.


    As the car drove along, many young women came to a stop, turning to get a better view of the young man. However, they were fated to be disappointed as they had only managed to get a glimpse of the beautiful figure that quickly passed them by.


    Once they were on the outer edge of the Layer of Feasting, Malcolm sped up, and it didn''t take long before they were within the Layer of Tourism. Isaac closed the window and sighed with dissatisfaction.


    They rode in silence for some time before Malcolm spoke.


    "We''ll be there shortly," Malcolm nced toward the daydreaming Issac, who instantly perked up.


    "Oh?" Isaac straightened his posture and focused on the road ahead. In the distance, the departure sign for Brightstar was clearly visible.


    Before they arrived at the sign, Malcolm took an exit and swerved down a short side road.


    A little way down the road, they came to a small parking lot that was almost empty. The only vehicle in sight was arge van with five elderly gentlemen standing around it, chatting.


    Malcolm unbuckled and pulled his pack from the back seat, "Here we are."


    "Okay," Issac grabbed his own pack and stepped out of the car.


    Isaac observed the five old men they''d parked next to. They were all healthy and robust, just like Malcolm. If Isaac hadn''t known any better, he would even think they were in their 40s.


    *nk*


    Malcolm opened the trunk and grabbed his hunting rifle. The length of the weapon was around 150cm.


    Gun in hand, Malcolm started walking toward the other men. He gestured for Isaac to follow.


    ''''Malcolm!'''' A man with a lengthy beard wearing a monocle called out and walked over. He was wearing a bright orange winter vest that covered most of his upper body.


    The other men in the group walked behind him. Each was also dressed simrly, ensuring that any other hunters in the area saw their group while trekking through the woods.


    ''''Leonardo!'''' Malcolm greeted his long-time friend along with the rest of the men.


    They turned to the young man who they were expecting to be there.


    Leonardo took the first step and shook hands with Isaac, ''''Leonardo Bluesky, nice to meet you, young fe.''''


    ''''Isaac Whitelock,'''' Isaac politely replied while returning the man''s solid handshake.


    After they were done getting to know each other, another man took a step forward, ''''My name is Charles.''''


    Charles had short brown hair. His beard and sideburns were trimmed, and he didn''t have a mustache.


    ''''Eugene,'''' A man with shoulder-length blonde hair said while shaking Isaac''s hand properly.


    Isaac nodded in response.


    ''''Franklin,'''' This man had ck hair and a face that was slightly more aged than others; however, he still looked like he''d been quite the handsome man when he was young.


    ''''Isaac,'''' Isaac replied with a nod and shook hands with him.


    ''''Bentley,'''' Thest one greeted Isaac. He was rather oddpared to the rest of the bunch.


    The man was only around 150cm, the same height as Malcolm''s rifle. He was way shorter than Isaac, but a fighting spirit was burning in his eyes, despite his age and stature.


    He looked like a dwarf in Isaac''s eyes. A race usually seen in a fantasy story. He had arge head, bushy beard, and thick, muscr arms.


    When they shook hands, Isaac felt his bones crackling, and he was having difficulty squeezing back.


    ''''Isaac¡­'''' He tried to reply as politely as possible, but it wasn''t easy to do while his hand was being crushed.


    ''''Bentley, don''t break the boy''s hand!'''' Charles chuckled, ''''You need to keep your strength in check; not everyone has superhuman strength like you.''''


    ''''Ah,'''' Bentley removed his hand andughed, scratching the back of his head, ''''Hahaha, sorry, boy. I struggle to hold it back sometimes.''''


    ''''It''s alright,'''' Isaac replied while rubbing his sore hand, but he didn''t feel any anger toward the man.


    He felt admiration.


    ''His strength¡­ Is exactly what I''ve aspired to have all this time¡­''

 Chapter 285 The Hunting Forest.

    The van stopped in front of the massive forest, reaching all the way to the horizon, no end in sight.


    In front of the forest, a massive parking lot was built just for the purpose of hunters to have a ce to park their vehicles and enter the forest through the entrance, which had a path leading deep inside the forest.


    Anyone who used the path couldn''t get lost. The forest itself was paradise for hunting.


    Six elderly men and one youth with beautiful white hair left the van with their own backpacks hanging from their shoulders.


    The six elderly men strapped their guns on their backs, and made sure the strap was tight enough to not hinder walking.


    Isaac was empty-handed but Malcolm''s bullets were on his backpack. However, he wasn''t that pleased of the arrangement, and hoped that they would let him use the hunting rifle, at least once.


    ''''Here.'''' Leonardo took an orange vest from the van and gave it to Isaac, ''''Just in case.''''


    Isaac caught it with ease and moved it over his winter jacket.


    ''''Alright, let''s go.'''' Malcolm entered the path, followed by five elderly men and Isaac.


    After walking for half an hour, they reached the end of the path. The end of the trail had arge clearing with a few tents and men cooking food on top of a campfire after their hunting trip.


    They saw the elderly men and nodded at them. They had gotten used to seeing them and had be friends in a short period of time.


    Malcolm and the rest nodded at them and walked past the tents, entering another part of the forest.


    From there on, there weren''t paths to take. Instead, it was all about luck and skill to find anything to hunt.


    Soon, Malcolm raised his hand, and everyone behind him stopped. He crouched and saw a paw-shaped prints on the snowy ground.


    ''''We are close¡­'''' He whispered and stood up to continue walking.


    They carefully moved forward and soon reached a fallen tree trunk.


    Malcolm hid behind the tree trunk and motioned everyone to go low.


    They did as he instructed.


    Isaac knelt on the ground and barely managed to see an animal on the other side of the tree trunk.


    A gray-furred wolf kept digging the snowy ground while a pair of fluffy ears struggled underneath.


    ''''Wolf seems to be hunting a bunny.'''' Malcolm turned around and said to them, ''''This is the perfect chance.''''


    Leonardo unstrapped his gun and went into a kneeling position.


    The rear knee was ced on the ground, while the other leg supported the elbow of the forward arm.


    The elbow was nicely ced on the quadriceps, making his stance rock solid. If he had rested his elbow on the kneecap, his stance would have been very shaky, making shooting urately near-impossible.


    Isaac watched Leonardo and printed everything he saw into his mind.


    Leonardo slowly put his index finger on the trigger and took a short breath.


    The stock of the gun was nicely resting on his shoulder, giving him the confidence he needed to take the shot.


    Slowly, he pulled the trigger and felt the recoil rocking his shoulder.


    *BANG!*


    The wolf raised its head with the tufted ears perked up.


    However, the next moment, a sharp projectile pierced through the skull, leaving a bullet-sized hole behind.


    The wolf fell to the side, and the tail stopped swaying, signaling that the wolf had died from a swift attack.


    The bunny quickly hopped out of the hole in the ground and had already disappeared with a fewrge leaps.


    ''''Nice!'''' The elderly men patted Leonardo''s shoulder. The first hunt had been sessfullypleted.


    Leonardo put the safety on and lowered the gun. He wiped his sweat and nced at Isaac, ''''Shooting a gun always brings a rush of emotions. It is truly the best feeling.''''


    Isaac nodded vigorously and could understand him perfectly. He also felt very powerful and happy whenever he fired his gun.


    Malcolm jumped over the tree trunk and went to the wolf to take the trophy of a sessful hunt.


    Leonardo went with him, it was his hunt, after all, and he could choose which trophy he wanted.


    ''''What are you nning to do with the wolf?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''They will take the trophy first, it might be fang, paw, or ear, and then we will give the wolf''s meat to one of our restaurants in Layer of Feasting.'''' Charles calmly exined.


    ''''You have your own restaurant?'''' Isaac was surprised at the fact.


    Franklin nodded, ''''It is good business. A Layer of Feasting is a goldmine, and it would be foolish not to invest in it.''''


    Isaac nodded with understanding.


    ''''There is a restaurant called Whitelock.'''' Bentley said and almost drooled after remembering their food, ''''It is Madison''s, even though she barely goes there. However, chefs are excellent there.''''


    ''''If I remember correctly, Sebastian, the butler, invented the recipes,'''' Eugene mentioned.


    ''''Oh!'''' Isaac was surprised again, but after remembering the delicious food he served, it wasn''t a surprise.


    ''''They are done,'''' Bentley said and saw Malcolm done skinning the wolf.


    Malcolm packed the wolf''s sliced meats into cold containers and packed them up.


    Leonardo put his trophy in his backpack. He decided to take an unusually long fang.


    ''''Let''s continue,'''' Malcolm said after also picking up the fur they received from the wolf. It can be used for clothing, etc. It has multiple uses, and will sell for good money.


    Isaac jumped over the tree trunk and followed after them.


    After walking for another ten minutes, Malcolm stopped in a small clearing and sat down on top of a rock, ''''Let''s take a small break.''''


    The rest of the elderly men sat down on anything they could sit at and started munching on their snacks.


    Isaac kept standing while looking around the forest with curiosity. Even though he couldn''t see anything except dense forest and snow, his curiosity couldn''t be easily quenched.


    Malcolm took a bite of the sandwich, and once it''d found its way to his stomach, he turned to Isaac and asked, ''''Are you interested in trying?''''


    ''''May I?'''' Isaac''s head instantly snapped toward his grandfather.


    Malcolm unstrapped his gun and rested it on hisp, ''''Come here.''''


    Isaac stopped next to him while the rest of the elderly men looked at the scene.


    ''''This is safety.'''' Malcolm tapped a small handle on the side of the gun, ''''When you pull it back, the safety is off.''''


    He demonstrated that by pulling the handle back.


    Isaac nodded, even though he already knew.


    ''''This is where you put the bullet.'''' He opened a small hatch on the side and showed the chamber, ''''Only one bullet fits.''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''Then¡­ The most important part trigger.'''' Malcolm pulled the trigger, and the sound of clinking could be clearly heard.


    ''''Shooting position is very important, but I will show it to you once it is the time.'''' Malcolm grabbed the gun and offered it to Isaac.


    Isaac grabbed the gun with a single hand and felt the powerful and cold texture of the weapon.


    He could feel that it was vastly different from White Online''s guns.


    Because if he shot someone with it, they won''t turn into pixels.


    They would die and would stay as one.

 Chapter 286 Luna’s Room Tour.

    While Malcolm, Isaac, and the rest of the elderly men were on their hunting trip. Citizens of Brightstar continued their daily routine.


    The younger generation enjoyed their time off school. Their parents went to work, and elderly folks enjoyed their hobbies.


    The Layer of Feasting were even busier on the weekends, the scent of food being even thicker than on previous days.


    The Layer of Tourism was bustling with Tourists from every nook and crook of Wintend.


    However, the Layer of Nobility was rtively quiet. Most of the younger generation had hidden themselves inside their rooms with VR Helmets on their heads.


    The same scene could be seen in other Layers.


    It didn''t matter what age one was. Every household had at least one with VR Helmet on.


    The ones who were working were impatiently waiting for their days to end, so they could return home and visit the World of White once again.


    Many even considered quitting.


    While many things were happening, one building was the same as always.


    In Whitelock Mansion.


    Inside the kitchen, Madison finished cleaning the tables that got slightly dirty after her cooking session.


    She put all the washed tes on the dish rack and set the chairs below the kitchen desk.


    After she finished, the kitchen tables were literally shining, reflecting her attractive face.


    She toucher the corner of her eyes, and managed to feel a sensation of wrinkle.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' A long and frustration-filled sigh left her mouth. She moved the strands of her hair out of the way and threw the towel to the hanger.


    Once she finished washing her hands, a loud ding dong echoed throughout the enormous mansion.


    *Ding Dong*


    ''''Hmm, are they already here?'''' She left the kitchen with quick steps and soon arrived in front of the door.


    She swiftly opened the door and saw four figures standing outside clothed in winter clothing.


    ''''Luna, Marshall, Mariah, and Sin.'''' Madison stepped to the side and allowed a family of four to enter her house.


    Luna entered the mansion and was fascinated by everything she saw.


    They took off their outdoor clothes and walked deeper inside the mansion with only their shirts, pants, and shoes.


    ''''Thanks for allowing us to visit,'''' Marshall said while walking side-by-side with Madison.


    ''''Ah, no worries.'''' Madison nced at Luna, ''''It was my pleasure.''''


    Marshall nodded and whispered, ''''I have another matter to discuss.''''


    ''''Alright.'''' Madison nodded. Her ponytail swaying side to side, and her face being curious about the matter.


    She managed to see Marshall''s serious look, and thought it must be something very important.


    Mariah and Sin looked around the mansion with equally amazed gazes.


    Luna, however, went past the front lounge and arrived in the living room.


    The living room was as beautiful as she expected. Her ck hair fluttered behind her as she quickly made her way over to the window, with a desk in front and several framed pictures on top.


    She stopped in front of the desk and leaned to take a closer look at the framed pictures.


    She saw a man and woman with a nerdy-looking boy in the picture.


    ''''It must be them and their son.'''' She mumbled and looked at other pictures. However, it was one of thest pictures of their son. Before, it was only about two of them.


    ''''Sad, isn''t it?'''' Madison walked from the front lounge and stopped next to her.


    ''''Ah¡­ It is.'''' Luna said with a not-so-cheerful look.


    Madison wryly smiled and sighed, ''''He is¡­ Doing great, and I am very proud of him.


    Luna looked at her, and her cheerful smile returned, ''''That''s nice!''''


    Marshall nced upstairs and casually asked, ''''Where are Malcolm and your grandson?''''


    Mariah and Sin looked toward Madison and remembered that there were supposed to be two other figures with them.


    Luna looked at her and saw Madison''s wry smile.


    ''''Well¡­'''' She scratched her hair and gave a strained chuckle, ''''Haha¡­ They went hunting.''''


    Mariah and Sin looked surprised.


    ''''Pfft.'''' Marshall couldn''t hold in hisughter, ''''Hahahaha, so Malcolm managed to drag him with him?''''


    Madison shook her head, ''''Apparently, he wanted to, but¡­ I still have my concerns.''''


    ''''Oh?'''' Marshall raised an eyebrow, ''''Then he would definitely be different from Maxwell.''''


    ''''Luna.'''' Madison gently patted the beautiful young woman''s head and said gently, ''''You can go sightseeing while we are talking about some mundane things.''''


    ''''Ok!'''' Luna agreed without hesitation and hopped toward the stairs.


    Marshall, Madison, Mariah, and Sin went to the kitchen to start their talk.


    Luna reached the second floor and stopped in the middle of the corridor. However, she didn''t see anything interesting there.


    ''''Third floor!'''' She pointed toward the stairs and took her first steps on the second floor''s stairs.


    Shortly afterward, she reached the third floor and the same sight reached her eyes, she didn''t see anything interesting, except paintings and vases.


    However, she noticed a door with a nametag. Her brows rose in surprise and the door almost pulled her toward.


    [Isaac]


    ''''Oh.'''' Luna stopped in front of the door and looked at the name with a longing gaze.


    ''''Isaac¡­'''' She murmured and, without thinking twice, opened the door.


    Luna took a step inside and entered therge room.


    ''''Wow¡­ It''s big!'''' She eximed, and her own room appeared in her memory. A room that was way toorge for one person.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' She looked around with curiosity filling her insides.


    ''''Oh.'''' Soon, Luna noticed a bookshelf. She went straight to the bookshelf with hundreds of books.


    ''''Wow, does this Isaac like books?'''' She remembered most of the books and saw limited edition copies that should be impossible to buy.


    ''''Wow.'''' Luna eximed, ''''He must be very spoiled, well¡­ So am I.'''' She giggled and left the bookshelf.


    When she didn''t expect to see anything interesting anymore, she noticed a slightly ajar wardrobe, allowing her to see a slight glimpse inside.


    ''''Oh?'''' Out of curiosity, she opened the door and saw a ck box peeking through ayer of clothes.


    ''''What is this?'''' She moved the clothes out of the way and touched the smooth box.


    ''''I am being quite rude¡­'''' Luna stopped touching it and closed the wardrobe door, ''''Stupid Luna, touching others'' property is bad!''''


    She took a step outside the room and took another nce at the room, ''''I wonder, is he as lonely as I am?''''


    Luna used the light switch to turn off the light and closed the door.

 Chapter 287 BANG!

    In the forest.


    Malcolm, Isaac, and the rest kept moving forward at a steady pace.


    Around them, a dense snow forest was blocking their sight for the most part. However, they already had a destination in mind.


    Malcolm knew where the highest chance of prey appearing was.


    After another ten minutes of strolling in the endless forest, Malcolm jolted and quickly crouched.


    Leonardo and the rest of the elderly men followed after.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac also crouched, after being secondter than others, ''Why did they crouch? Is there a prey ahead?''


    He furrowed his brows and looked in the same direction as them. Around fifty meters in front, in a small clearing, three wolves were circling around an enormous bear!


    The bear was easily three meters in height with thick brown fur and razor-sharp ws. It had small round ears, a dish-shaped face, and a prominent snout.


    The three wolves had gray fur with saliva pouring down from their jaws.


    Malcolm frowned and looked at others, ''''This is strange¡­ Why are the wolves attacking a bear?''''


    Leonardo and others shrugged.


    But then, Isaac gave his own suggestion, ''''Maybe they are defending their territory or bear is?''''


    Malcolm and the elders looked at him. They thought for a moment before nodding, and it sounded like a valid theory inside their minds.


    ''''Might be the case.'''' Malcolm took binocrs from his backpack. He began keeping an eye on the bear and wolves.


    In the open clearing, the atmosphere was getting heated.


    The first wolf had enough of waiting and lunged forward!


    The wolf opened it''srge jaw and took arge bite. The fang''s sunk deep into the bear''s leg.


    *Spurt*


    ''''ROAAAR!'''' A long, deep agony roar escaped the bear''s mouth.


    The bear swung its massive paw and smacked the wolf in the head, and even though the wolf suffered enormous damage from it, the fangs sunk even deeper into the sh!


    ''''ROAR!''''


    The second wolf moved like a blur and did the same with the fangs sinking deep into the bear''s waist!


    ''''ROAR!'''' The bear kept roaring in agony. However, the roars stopped once the third wolf took arge bite of the bear''s neck!


    ''''Gr¡­'''' The bear recoiled backward and was one step away from falling down; however, at that moment, the bear''s ferocious red eyes glowed.


    *Grab*


    The bear grabbed the first wolf from the neck and threw away with incredible physical prowess!


    *Bam!*


    The wolf crashed into the tree with the spine splitting in half.


    Before being even able to howl in agony, the wolf had already died.


    After the first wolf died, the bear swung it''s sharp ws and cut deep inside the third wolf''s torso.


    The third wolf flew across the air and crashed on the snowy ground with three deep cut wounds on the torso, gushing out with blood.


    ''''ROAR!'''' The bear smacked the second wolf and sent flying away almost effortlessly.


    The second wolf crashed to the ground. However, instantly stood up and lunged toward the bear with the jaw wide open.


    *SWUNG*


    *SPURT!*


    The bear swung it''s paw with three razor-sharp ws shining menacingly.


    ''''HOWL!'''' The wolf howled. However, at the next moment, the ws sliced through the face, instantly killing the wolf!


    Only the third wolf was left. However, couldn''t even stand up. The light was slowly leaving the eyes and the wolf itself was in midst of taking thest breaths.


    However, the bear didn''t care and bit through the wolf''s neck and began munching on the flesh!


    Malcolm witnessed the whole thing. He wiped his sweat and whispered, ''''The bear might be a King of a veryrge territory.''''


    ''''What should we do?'''' Leonardo asked. He knew that it wasn''t a joking matter, and they should leave as soon as possible!


    ''''It is dangerous to stay here.'''' Charles quipped.


    However, while speaking, Malcolm noticed the bear''s head slowly turning toward them!


    His face changed shades quickly, ''''Oh no¡­''''


    ''''Hmm? What is it?'''' Charles frowned after seeing his long-time friend looking fearful, which was umon for him.


    Malcolm witnessed the bear starting to run with the help of it''s four limbs,ing straight toward them!


    ''''Fuck, the bear ising!'''' Malcolm shouted and stood up in a hurry.


    ''''Fuck!'''' They shouted in a hurry and quickly unstrapped their guns.


    Franklin, with his swift hands, was the fastest out of them all. He had already put a bullet in the chamber, and the safety was already off.


    He rested the stock of the hunting rifle on his shoulder with his left eye closed.


    He saw the running bear, nearing an inch closer with each passing second.


    ''''Shoot!'''' His friends screamed. They were in midst of reloading, however, their initial shock was making things difficult for them.


    Franklin took a short breath and pulled the trigger.


    *BANG!*


    The recoil rocked his body. However, his solid stance made him unmovable!


    *SPURT!*


    The bullet pierced through the bear''s massive body, leaving a trail of blood, destroyed organs and hole behind.


    ''''ROAR!'''' The boar roared in agony; however, didn''t stop and kept stomping forward with even more anger!


    ''''D-Damn!'''' Bentley clumsily grabbed a bullet and tried to stuff it inside the chamber, but it proved to be extremely difficult with hisrge hands.


    The rest of the elderly men weren''t as sessful.


    The fastest one out of them, Franklin, didn''t even have time to grab another bullet.


    Malcolm had his gun with Isaac, and he couldn''t do anything except shout, ''''Let''s run!''''


    ''''Fuck!'''' Charles dropped his bullet alongside Eugene.


    Their faces paled, and they felt the intense pressure nearing them.


    *CRACK!*


    The bear smacked a tree out of the way, and it''s massive shadow was already ovepping them!


    ''''Isaac, run!'''' Malcolm shouted in anxiousness. However, when he looked at Isaac, he was shocked witless.


    With incredible speed, Isaac reloaded the gun, took off the safety, and already went into his shooting position.


    Leonardo turned his head and widened his eyes in shock, ''His shooting stance¡­ Is exact copy!''


    Isaac''s rear knee was ced on the ground while his other leg supported the weight of his elbow.


    The butt of the hunting rifle was ideally touching his shoulder, making his stance absolutely perfect.


    With no ws, and now he only had one thing left to do.


    Shoot!


    Slowly, he squeezed the trigger. After doing so, an enormous pressure assaulted his shoulder. However, he didn''t show any pain or let out any sound.


    The only sound in the forest was¡­


    *BANG!*

 Chapter 288 Superhuman Syndrome.

    SPURT!


    The bear''s stomping stopped. In the eye, a sizeable hole was visible, dripping with blood.


    Thud!


    The enormous body of the bear fell down lifelessly on the snowy ground. All the previous signs of life disappeared.


    ''''Wha¡ª'''' Malcolm and the rest of the elderly gentlemen were utterly shocked. The menacing and terrifyingly powerful bear took itsst breaths before entering the afterlife.


    ''''Argh¡­'''' Isaac put the safety on and dropped the gun. He grabbed his shoulder and rubbed the painful spot.


    ''''You know how to shoot?'''' Malcolm asked with surprise. He knew better than anyone that taking such a shot wasn''t simply possible with beginner''s luck.


    Beginners would try to hit thergest target, which was obviously the torso area. However, Isaac went straight for the head, and the shot was just beautifully executed.


    Isaac wryly smiled and nodded, ''''Somewhat¡­ My ss in White Online is Marksman¡­ I guess that helped.''''


    ''''I see¡­'''' Malcolm wasn''t like others who wouldugh at thatment. ying a game would make someone''s shooting better? Every normal person wouldugh at that.


    But not Malcolm or anyone present. All of them have some information about the game itself.


    Bentley gave a solid pat on the shoulder, ''''Good job! You saved us, old folks.''''


    Isaac nodded and looked at his trembling hands. Saying he didn''t feel fear would be a lie.


    He knew the dire consequences of missing his shot. Everyone might have died, including him.


    That was the pressure like no other. It wasn''t anything like in White Online, but Isaac had a hunch that he became stronger after today''s experience.


    ''''How¡­'''' Leonardo opened his mouth, everyone''s attention was shifted to him.


    ''''How long have you been practicing your shooting stance?''''


    ''''Umm¡­'''' Isaac rubbed the back of his head and had a feeling that no one would believe him, ''''None¡­''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Malcolm thought he misheard, ''''D-Did you say none?''''


    Leonardo sighed and told what he saw, ''''Malcolm¡­ Your grandson is a monster. He copied my stance with only a nce, without any ws.''''


    ''''Ah¡­'''' Malcolm looked at Isaac in a new light. Even though he started looking at him differently, Isaac looked much more like Maxwell.


    ''Maxwell also used to be¡­ A genius like no other, however, he wasted his talent. He shouldn''t have been a businessman, instead something much more¡­''


    Charles sat on top of the tree trunk, a tip of his boots almost touching the fallen bear''s head, ''''Young one, take your trophy. You have earned it.''''


    Isaac stood up and saw the fallen body of the bear for the first time.


    As Isaac jumped over the tree trunk, everyone stepped to the side and allowed him to walk to the front of the dead bear.


    ''''Which one do you want?'''' Malcolm took out his knife and asked.


    ''''w¡­'''' Isaac saw the razor-sharp ws and thought it would be cool to have one, ''''w, please.''''


    ''''Alright.'''' Malcolm removed the w as carefully as possible, trying not to harm it in any way.


    Soon after, the w was removed.


    ''''Here.'''' Malcolm stretched his hand forward, the sharp w being right on top of his palm. The sharp w was around 10cm in length.


    Isaac took it with gratitude and touched the sharp edge of the w, ''''Sharp...''''


    He opened his backpack and stored the w inside. After taking another nce at his trophy, he zipped the bag and watched as Malcolm started skinning the bear.


    Half an hourter, all things had been gathered, and before they continued strolling forward, Leonardo took a camera from his backpack and suggested taking a picture.


    Everyone gathered around the massive bear. Isaac was in the middle with the hunting rifle resting on his shoulder, Malcolm was next to him, and Leonardo was on the other side.


    Franklin was next to Malcolm, next to Leonardo was Charles, and next to Franklin was Bentley, whose small stature was more than apparent in that lineup.


    Andstly, Eugene was grinning widely next to Charles.


    nk!


    The picture was taken, and they continued their journey in the dense forest.


    Soon, they came to a small clearing with four wooden benches. The wooden benches were made from the nearby trees, that had been cut down.


    ''''Eh, benches?'''' Isaac was confused.


    ''''Ah, we are finally here.'''' Malcolm slumped down on the wooden bench and rxed alongside other elderly gentlemen.


    Isaac sat down next to Bentley and asked, ''''What is this ce?''''


    Bentley answered, ''''This is the crossroad.''''


    ''''Crossroad?'''' That answer gave more questions than answers.


    ''''Crossroad is thest resting ce before we enter an area that is a dream for hunters.''''


    Isaac raised an eyebrow, ''''Dream for any hunters..?''''


    ''''Yeah, it is where more hunting chances are provided. However, it is also more dangerous.'''' Bentley said and let out a slight chuckle, ''''At first, with you here, we wouldn''t have dared to go there, but yourst showing told us everything we needed.''''


    ''''And that is?''''


    ''''You don''t need protection.'''' Bentley said seriously, ''''Your looks might fool many as a weak person, but you are strong!''''


    ''''I am¡­ Strong?'''' Isaac had never heard such words directed at him before.


    Bentley pointed at his heart, ''''I was born with Superhuman Syndrome. It gives me greater muscle density than ordinary person. It was my curse since I was born.''''


    ''''Curse¡­'''' Isaac murmured and continued listening.


    ''''I couldn''t even carry my own baby.'''' Bentley looked at his rough hands with trembling eyes, ''''I could have broken my own son''s hand like a twig.''''


    Isaac became silent, and thought it sounded terrible.


    ''''Being weak isn''t always a bad thing.'''' Bentley looked at him with great emotion, ''''You are the opposite of me. However, you aren''tpletely weak. You are strong¡­ You can be even stronger!''''


    ''''I am strong¡­'''' Bentley once again murmured, ''''But also¡­ Weak, my clumsiness¡­ Almost got us killed, that is my weakness, and I have to live with it.''''


    ''''Would you¡­ Be weak if you could choose?'''' Isaac had to ask a question that was riddling his mind.


    ''''I¡­'''' Bentley opened his mouth, but no words came out. However, an answer came out surprisingly smoothly soon after, ''''Wouldn''t.''''


    ''''You wouldn''t?'''' Isaac was surprised at the answer. Bentley doesn''t seem to like his excessive strength.


    ''''You have no idea how many times my strength has saved us.'''' Bentley looked around his friends, ''''I might be a muscle brain, but it is what I am, and I don''t regret it one bit, even if Iin sometimes.''''


    ''''I understand.'''' Isaac nodded with newfound respect.

 Chapter 289 Return To Brightstar.

    Malcolm, Isaac, and the rest of the elderly gentlemen camped behind a snow-covered bush.


    Ten meters from them, a brown-colored deer circled a small open space.


    Malcolm grabbed his hunting rifle tighter and went into his own firing position. He slowly stood up, put his left leg forward, and took aim.


    His finger slowly neared the trigger, and once his fingertip made contact, his posture was already perfect.


    BANG!


    Without further ado, he pulled the trigger and witnessed the bullet flying like a cannon.


    The deer raised the head and felt the instincts kicking in. When the deer felt like running away, the bullet had already made a sizeable hole in the middle of the torso.


    The deer staggered to the side before falling down without any signs of life.


    Malcolm lowered his gun and nodded, ''''That was thest one.''''


    ''''Good job.'''' Leonardo patted his shoulder and walked with him to the corpse of the deer.


    ''''I guess this was it.'''' Charles grabbed his backpack and took out a small stic box.


    The stic box was filled with sandwiches. He opened the cover and took a bite of the first sandwich he got his hands on.


    Bentley rubbed his cold hands, trying to warm them up, ''''That was thest hunt for today. Was it fun?''''


    He asked while looking straight at Isaac.


    ''''Yes, it was.'''' Without noticing, seven hours had already passed. After checking out the clock, Isaac was surprised and disappointed, knowing they had to leave before the forest got dark.


    Charles swallowed the sandwich and wiped his lips with a napkin. Once he was done, he nced at Isaac and asked.


    ''''Young one, what are you nning on doing after you return?''''


    ''''y White Online, I guess,'''' Isaac replied. As long there won''t be anything important to do, he would go back to y.


    Everyone nodded, not even once they thought it would be a waste of time.


    However, Franklin mentioned, ''''Young one, you have great talent in hunting. When you return to Snowstar, don''t waste the talent. It might prove useful one day.''''


    Charles, Eugene, and Bentley looked surprised at Franklin''s words. He hasn''t said anything about the future to his children or grandchildren, instead kept everything secret.


    However, now, he was hinting that something would happen to someone who wasn''t part of his family.


    ''''I will keep that in mind.'''' Isaac nodded, ''Maybe I should buy a hunting rifle¡­ Or, I can buy Musket Rifle inside the game and teleport back to the real world¡­''


    While he was thinking about whether he should waste one Teleportation Pearl use.


    Franklin opened his mouth, ''''Sigh, my grandson apparently reached the top 5000 in the rankings, and doesn''t shut up about it!''''


    Charles, Eugene, and Bentley grimaced after the mention of his grandson. None of them had good memories about the little shit.


    ''''What does he want now?'''' Eugene asked.


    ''''A car.'''' Franklin shook his head, ''''His arrogance knows no bounds.''''


    The elderly gentlemen rolled their eyes.


    ''''A car for top 5000, what if he reaches top 1000, a spaceship?''''


    ''''Hah!'''' Aughter escaped Franklin''s mouth, ''''I will get him a one-way trip to the orphanage!''''


    ''''Hah!'''' Bentley roared inughter.


    Charles and Eugene shook their heads with smiles.


    Soon, Malcolm and Leonardo returned with their haul.


    ''''Time to go,'''' Malcolm said while ncing at the sky. The zing sun was slowly disappearing from the sky.


    Everyone nodded and stood up.


    They started their return trip.


    While walking back, they walked past the hunters, who decided to stay for a night. They greeted them. However, didn''t stay for chitchat.


    After an hour, they left the forest.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac stepped inside the van and took off his backpack. He sat down and put it down on hisp.


    After walking for an hour, exhaustion finally started kicking. Malcolm timed correctly when they should return. With their elderly bodies, they would had hard time walking back.


    Soon, everyone was seated inside the van, and the driver, Franklin, started the engine and drove off the parking lot.


    Brr!


    ''''Hmm?'''' While the van was moving at in steady pace back to Brightstar, Malcolm felt vibrationsing from his front pocket.


    He took out his phone and checked the message he''d received.


    [Madison: When are you and Isaac going to return?]


    ''''Hmm.'''' Malcolm raised his head away from the phone and saw the enormous City in the distance.


    He quickly calcted the distance between the van and the city. After doing so, he wrote the best guess he could think of.


    After pressing sent, he waited for the response.


    Brr!


    Soon, the phone signaled that another message had arrived.


    [Madison: Alright, we have guests]


    ''''Oh.'''' Malcolm quickly replied with another message.


    [Malcolm: Alright, we will be back soon]


    He slipped his phone back into his front pocket and nced at the back of the van, where four elderly men and white-haired youth were seated.


    After half an hour of driving, the van entered the City of Brightstar. Franklin turned the steering wheel and entered the parking lot, where everyone''s vehicles were parked.


    Once he found a parking spot, he slowly controlled the car with incredible uracy, and once the van was properly parked, he twisted the key and killed the engine.


    ''''See you.'''' Malcolm shook hands with Franklin and left the car.


    Everyone at the back of the van left through the sliding door and took a quick sniff of the fresh air.


    Franklin waited for everyone to take out their stuff, and once they were done, he left the parking lot with his van.


    ''''Goodbye, young one, Malcolm!'''' Bentley waved his hand and opened his car''s door. The car was a fancy CUV with a gray paint job.


    Malcolm and Isaac waved their hands. They gave their own farewells to Eugene and Charles, who entered their cars and soon left.


    Once everyone had left, Malcolm and Isaac entered the car.


    Thest car from the parking lot drove off.


    Inside the car, Malcolm put the heater on and said, ''''Apparently, we have guests.''''


    ''''Oh?'''' Isaac raised an eyebrow and wondered who it could be. However, he didn''t really want to entertain anyone.


    He had only one thing in his mind: to go y White Online.

 Chapter 290 Unexpected Reunion.

    In the living room of Whitelock Residence.


    Luna took a satisfying sip from the hot cocoa. Her eyes curved into a delightful look.


    When she opened her eyes, she continued watching the talk show, shown on the TV.


    The talk show''s conversation topic circled around the Colosseum and the matches that were the most interesting ones.


    Previously, it showed an clip of Isaac''s match. However, Luna missed it while adventuring throughout the mansion.


    Madison, Marshall, Mariah, and Sin''s mouth''s kept moving as more and more words came out. Their talk hadn''t ended ever since it started in the kitchen.


    However, it didn''t seem as important as before when Luna wasn''t allowed to hear their conversation.


    Vroom¡­


    Madison''s ears perked up and she saw the car lights from the windows, ''''They have arrived!''''


    She stood up and walked to the front door.


    Marshall and Mariah peeked over the backrest and saw Madison opening the door.


    Sin was rather concentrated on the talk show alongside Luna.


    Madison watched as the car stopped in front of their residence. From the driver''s seat, Malcolm left the vehicle.


    He opened the door in the back and grabbed his long hunting rifle and backpack.


    Isaac left the car with his backpack hanging from his shoulder. The bag was slightly pushing his shoulder down. He wasn''t able to properly carry all the weight. However, he didn''t show any signs of struggling.


    Even though his blood vessels kept protruding around his arms.


    Madison tiptoed and shared a kiss with Malcolm. Once their lips separated, Madison asked.


    ''''How did it go?''''


    ''''Very good.'''' Malcolm said with a smile, ''''Isaac managed to get his first hunt.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Madison took a step back out of shock. She wasn''t aware that her husband would allow Isaac to hunt, let alone use a gun!


    ''''U-Umm, did anything go wrong?'''' Her hands trembled as she asked.


    Malcolm opened his mouth, but he knew his wife''s supernatural ability to detect lies.


    However, Isaac didn''t mind the question and answered, ''''It was pretty fun. You should have seen Bentley missing a shot, hitting a branch instead, and falling straight on the deer''s head, killing it.''''


    ''''Hah!'''' Malcolm roared inughter. They had a goodugh after the lucky strike, and even though Bentley was embarrassed, it gave them another memory before they were too old to keep hunting.


    Madison covered her mouth and giggled. She didn''t notice any lie in Isaac''s words, which meant he actually enjoyed the trip.


    Without her knowing, Malcolm and Isaac promised on the return trip not to talk anything about the near-death incident.


    ''''Good,'''' Madison said and hugged Isaac.


    ''''We have guests.'''' She mentioned while hugging.


    Malcolm nodded and entered the mansion. He took off his winter clothing and took out his slippers. He slipped his feet inside them and entered the living room.


    ''''Marshall?'''' He wasn''t shocked to see his long-time friend. He was used to getting him as a visitor.


    ''''Malcolm.'''' Marshall stood up and shook hands with his childhood friend.


    ''''Mariah, long time no see.'''' Malcolm also noticed the lovely middle-aged woman.


    Mariah stood up and hugged the elderly man, who was pretty much her second father, ''''Long time¡­''''


    Malcolm smiled and saw Sin in the corner of his eyes. However,, he didn''t say anything to him and saw someone he hadn''t seen before in Brightstar.


    ''''Eh?'''' He thought his aged eyes were fooling him. However, when the youngdy turned her head, both of them looked surprised.


    ''''Hey!'''' Luna''s face beamed after meeting once again with the old man, who gave an evesting impression on her.


    ''''Y-You.'''' Malcolm looked with surprise at his wife, who was walking from the front door. She smiled and nodded.


    ''''What a coincidence.'''' He patted his grayish hair, ''''Small world, eh.''''


    ''''Hehe, yup!'''' Luna nodded vigorously.


    Madison entered the living room, and out of nowhere, a white-haired youth appeared next to her. No one noticed him beforehand, but now it was impossible not to when he was visible.


    Marshall''s face couldn''t describe his shock. Whenever he remembered Maxwell, he thought his son would be a nerdy-looking.


    His guess couldn''t be further from the truth!


    ''''Oh my.'''' Mariah covered her mouth in surprise.


    Sin raised his eyebrow, ''Doesn''t he look familiar?''


    Luna, who turned her gaze back to the TV after her talk with Malcolm, flinched.


    Slowly, she turned her head to the sound. At first, she noticed the white hair, her heart pounded. Second, she saw the color of his eyes, her mind showed an image of a person.


    Lastly, his face became clear as the sky, and her eyes started watering up.


    Isaac nodded at everyone present, and when his eyes went over a ck-haired girl, his body froze.


    Thud!


    His backpack slid out from his shoulder andnded on the ground.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Madison looked at Isaac, whose face described clearly the shock he was in, ''''I-Isaac?''''


    ''''Luna, are you alright?'''' Luna''s mother, Mariah, asked with worry after seeing her daughter''s teary eyes.


    Luna jumped to her two feet and ran past Malcolm, the couch, and Madison.


    She spread her arms and wrapped them around Isaac''s waist. Her soft body hugged tightly with Isaac''s warm and still sweaty body.


    Everyone in the living room had their jaw dropped. Mariah''s eyeballs almost popped out from the sockets.


    Sin''s brows jumped up, ''Whaaaaaaat!''


    Marshall fell from the couch.


    ''''H-Hey¡­'''' Luna whispered with an almost inaudible sound. Her hot breath tickled Isaac''s earlobes, making them redder.


    ''''Hi¡­'''' Isaac replied with unspeakable shock. Before, his mind was filled with thoughts of running upstairs, ignoring the guests. Now, however, he doesn''t even remember his previous thoughts.


    His cheeks started heating up after noticing all the gazes.


    ''''Can we talk somewhere?'''' He whispered, not wanting to be the center of attention a second longer.


    ''''O-Oh, ok!'''' She replied shyly and separated from the hug. For a split second, her face showed the disappointment after the warmth disappeared.


    She turned and saw her mother''s shocked look, ''''Mom, I will go talk with Isaac!''''


    She grabbed his hand and quickly ran to the upstairs.


    Isaac, however, slowed her down significantly, ''''What about your Winter Illness?''''


    ''''It''s alright!'''' She smiled with pink cheeks.


    ''''Oh¡­'''' Isaac nodded, still trying to calm her down and continue walking at a steadier pace.


    The ones who were left in the living room were floored. They looked at each other, and everyone had simr thoughts.


    What the hell had happened?

 Chapter 291 Arthur’s Comment.

    In Isaac''s room.


    The light switch was turned opposite, causing light to appear from the chandelier.


    Luna, the beautiful ck-haired girl with ocean blue eyes, was sitting on the edge of the bed with the TV showing her favorite talk show.


    She was rather concentrated on the screen. However, her attention was being shifted to Isaac every now and then.


    Isaac took theptop from the desk and went back to the bed. He sat next to Luna and opened theptop with the top panel.


    After pressing a button on the side, theptop started making a mellow sound of fans turning.


    Soon, the starting screen appeared. Isaac used the touchpad and double-clicked on the Inte Browser.


    Luna shifted her body slightly. Soon, her legs touched Isaac''s and didn''t move any further from there.


    She blinked innocently and leaned closer to take a peek at the screen.


    ''''What is this?'''' Luna asked after seeing an unfamiliar forum.


    ''''You don''t know what this is?'''' Isaac was genuinely surprised. Everyone should know the infamous White Online forum.


    She shook her head, ''''Nope.''''


    ''''Well¡­'''' He rubbed the back of his head and started exining, ''''It is where yers can discuss about White Online. Whether it is about new ces they had discovered or items, they can discuss everything, as long it is White Online rted.''''


    ''''Wow!'''' Luna''s eyes sparkled, ''''That sounds fun!''''


    ''''Haha.'''' Isaac felt amused at her childish behavior, ''''Well, it is called infamous for a reason.''''


    Luna tilted her head, confusion clear on her pretty face.


    ''''The yers are very¡­ Passionate, if that is the correct term to use.'''' Isaac turned theptop around and showed Luna ament section on a random forum, ''''See?''''


    ''''Wha¡ª'''' Luna widened her eyes, ''''They are so rude!''''


    ''''They are.'''' Isaac said and turned theptop around, ''''You shouldn''t go there. Apparently, Legacy Company is creating a new forum with stricter rules.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' She nodded, and the smile on her face brightened the atmosphere significantly.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Soon, Isaac''s finger stopped moving as he noticed a forum concerning him¡­


    His eyes narrowed, and his fingers pressed down on the touchpad. The page changed from the homepage to the forum.


    [Wraith is a cheater!!!]


    ''yer Wraith''s ability shown in Colosseum cannot be real. Why the hell would Legacy Company create a skill that allows someone to be immortal?''


    ''Of course, they wouldn''t! There is only one exnation¡ª Wraith is cheating!''


    ''Fuck¡­'' Isaac grimaced, ''Fucking idiots!''


    He ignored dozen other paragraphs and went straight to thement section. As he expected, thement section was screaming for his ban.


    However, at that moment, ament popped up at the top of thement section. It was coated in golden color, with beautiful silver text.


    [Emilia: Our database was filled with reports concerning yer Wraith and his assumed immortal skill.


    I am here to rify that the skill yer Wraith used was indeed added by Legacy Company to the game.


    We won''t tell where to get it or how yer Wraith managed to do so.


    Please stop discussion about this topic. Otherwise, we have to make much-needed renovations within this forum section or delete itpletely]


    ''''Emilia¡­'''' Isaac mumbled, with enough strength in his voice that Luna heard it.


    ''''Eh? Woman''s name?'''' Luna''s gaze went from the TV to Isaac, ''''Who?''''


    ''''Not sure.'''' Isaac replied, ''''Admin of the forum, I think.''''


    Luna''s stiff muscles rxed, ''''Oh¡­ You talked about the forum.''''


    She smiled and turned back to the TV. Her nervous heartbeat slowly rxed till it was at average speed.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac heard her muttering about something but couldn''tpletely catch it. Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m


    Before asking what she talked about, he saw thement section bustling.


    Newments insulted everything about Emilia, even though they didn''t know anything about her. Also, the biggest topic was about fairness.


    How could it be fair when someone has the ability of immortality?


    Everyone forgot about Emilia''s warning and began their crusade for fair y.


    When thement section was heading to a boiling point, Isaac''s annoyed face saw another golden text appearing.


    He thought that Emilia had responded. However, it was someone who made the wholement section quiet.


    [Arthur: You fucking childish fucks]


    Isaac bit his lip, quenching theughter that was about to slip through.


    The firstment already silenced everyone. However, soon, a secondment followed.


    [Arthur: I didn''t add anything to the game that would break the bnce. Instead ofining, y and hone your skills. What is the point ofining in forums every single fucking day]


    From there on, thement section stayed quiet. The forum was slowly losing its poprity, and it didn''t take even a minute for the [Hot] tag to be lost.


    The forum was quickly buried in a sea of new forums popping up every minute.


    No one¡­ Not even one person dared to open their mouth against Arthur because he could do something that scared every forum user.


    He can ban a person from the forum, but also¡­ From White Online.


    In the first days of White Online, someone foolish enough got banned by Arthur. He kept bragging about it and bought a new VR Helmet to continue ying. However, that yer soon noticed that his ban was still standing even with the new Helmet!


    He tried his siblings'' VR Helmet, even his friends. However, the ban was based on facial recognition.


    The only way he could y White Online was to get a new face. It was possible. However, such surgery would cost millions.


    It didn''t take long for everyone to hear about the incident. Instead of going away silently, he startedining in forums.


    In the end¡­ No one pitied him or supported him.


    Everyoneughed at him, and soon that yer disappeared from the forums.


    His current location was unknown.


    Isaac closed theptop and felt very satisfied. While reading thements, he felt frustrated. He wanted to shout, scream, and curse.


    However, Luna was sitting right next to him, innocently watching the TV.


    Drips of blood tricked down from the corner of his mouth. Isaac quickly used his sleeve and wiped it away.


    He used all his willpower to keep biting at the lip, trying not to make a sound.

    Outside Isaac''s room.


    Mariah kept walking back and forth. Her gaze went to the nametag before turning her head away.


    It continued for several minutes before she came to a stop. Her breathing became slower, trying not to make any sound.


    She tried to hear any noiseing from the room, but the only thing she managed to hear was the distinct sound of talking. It didn''t sound like her daughter''s voice.


    Instead, a voice usually heard on TV''s.


    Mariah turned to look at the wooden door. She raised her arm and knocked on the door.


    Knock! Knock!


    Her body froze as she heard footsteps nearing. They were quiet like the person was barely touching the floor.


    *Creak*


    The door opened, and a white-haired youth appeared. His face showed split-second surprise before turning to normal.


    ''''My name is Isaac Whitelock. I don''t think we introduced each other before.'''' Isaac stretched his arm forward.


    ''''Ah, yes.'''' Mariah shook his hand and felt shocked at the softness her hand felt, ''''Mariah Snowflower, Luna''s mother¡­''''


    Isaac nodded.


    ''''Where is¡­'''' Mariah tried to look past Isaac, ''''Luna?''''


    Isaac stepped to the side and showed the bed. At the edge of the bed, Luna''s eyes were glued to the screen. She hadn''t noticed her mother appearing.


    ''''Honey, we have to go,'''' Mariah said gently. While looking around the room, she sighed a breath of relief after realizing that nothing unholy was happening in the room.


    She couldn''t properly rx knowing that her daughter was alone in a room with a boy. She was d to know that her worries were unfounded.


    Luna''s cheeks swelled, a visible pout on her face, ''''Do we have to?''''


    Mariah wryly smiled and nodded, ''''We have taken advantage of their hospitality long enough.''''


    ''''Ok¡­'''' Luna stood up and dragged her feet behind as she reached the door.


    She wrapped her arms around Isaac''s waist and whispered, ''''Goodbye¡­''''


    ''''Take care.'''' Isaac returned the hug and gave a quick pat on the head.


    Luna''s mouth curved into a slight smile as she stepped outside the room.


    ''''Goodbye, it was nice to meet you.'''' Mariah nodded and walked after her energetic daughter.


    Isaac watched them walking down the stairs. Once they disappeared from the view, he closed the door.


    ''''Hmm, only 8 P.M.'''' Isaac saw the clock slowly ticking, ''''I can y for four hours¡­ Give or take.''''


    He went straight to the wardrobe and opened the doors.


    However, at that moment, his body froze.


    The clothes that he piled up to cover the box were untidy.


    Isaac crouched and frowned, ''''Someone was here..?''''


    He lowered his gaze, at the edge of the wardrobe, he saw a strand of hair.


    He picked up the strand of hair and hovered it in front of his eyes, ''''ck hair¡­ It wasn''t my grandparents¡­ Luna?''''


    An image of Luna appeared in his mind. Her beautiful ck hair was more than apparent in his mind.


    ''''Why did shee here?'''' His forehead scrunched up, ''''Right¡­ She said something about adventure.''''


    He tried to remember whether he had closed the wardrobe properly. He remembered closing the doors. However, he couldn''t remember the familiar nking noise that usually appeared.


    ''I didn''t close it properly¡­'' He opened his eyes and stored the strand of hair in his front pocket.


    ''''Well¡­ She didn''t open the box, so it doesn''t matter.'''' He took the box into his arms and carried it back to the bed.


    He took out the Mythical VR Helmet and covered his face with it.


    Creak!


    The bed creaked as he lied down on his bed. He moved to a morefortable position and pressed the button.

    ''''Whoa!'''' Once Isaac opened his eyes, he noticed that he was standing on his two feet!


    He staggered to the side, almost falling down to his butt.


    ''''Whoa, where you came from?'''' Be appeared from the kitchen with a tray of food in her arms.


    ''''U-Umm¡­'''' Isaac rubbed the back of his head. Not sure how to respond because even he forgot that he logged out before going back to his room.


    Be shook her head, ''''Well, I am d that you are now here. I have something to talk about!''''


    ''''Oh?'''' Isaac sat down on the kitchen table and watched Be put the tray down. She


    searched through the cabs, trying to find the item she was looking for,


    Soon, she found what she was looking for. She stood up and grinned widely, ''''Here!''''If you want to read more chapters,


    ''''Umm?'''' Isaac took the item into his hand and frowned. The item was hexagon-shaped with sharp edges.


    ''''What is this?''''


    Be shook her index finger and replied, ''''That is not the right question. The question should be, what does it do!''''


    ''''Well, what does it do?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Be sat down on the chair and tapped the table, ''''Put it on the table.''''


    Isaac did as instructed and put it down on the table.


    Once the hexagon-shaped item contacted with the table, it started glowing in bright blue.


    ''''Ah?'''' Isaac covered his eyes.


    Be didn''t even blink as she watched the hexagon-shaped item transforming.


    The hexagon-shaped item became much bigger, soon taking the appearance of armor!


    Once the item finished transforming, an armor with hexagon symbols lied down on the table.


    ''''What?! Armor?'''' He looked at Be, who smugly smiled.


    ''''Yep!'''' She moved the strands of her hair to the side. Very proud of her aplishment.


    ''''Where did you get this¡­?'''' Isaac asked while touching the Hexagon Armor.


    ''''That is not important!'''' Be, for some reason, was being very mysterious about it.


    ''''Hexagon Normal!'''' After she spoke, the Hexagon Armor turned back.


    She took the hexagon-shaped item into her hand and pushed it to Isaac''s chest.


    ''''Eh?!'''' Isaac was shocked at the sudden turn of events. However, when the hexagon-shaped item touched his chest.


    It disappeared, and soon Isaac felt something tight hugging his body.


    Be smiled, ''''You can have it.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac was confused about what she meant by that; however, soon, notifications told him everything he needed.

    Isaac unzipped his jacket, revealing the shirt beneath.


    However, usually, he would find his Lizard Scale armor, but it was nowhere to be seen.


    He raised his shirt, revealing smooth and wless skin underneath.


    Be''s cheeks became pink almost instantly. She turned her head away, still tempted to look.


    ''''What¡­'''' Once Isaac touched his skin, patterns appeared out of nowhere. Hexagon symbols reached from his belly to neck, also surroundings his arms and fingers.


    nk! nk!


    He tapped his chest and didn''t feel anything. Instead, it felt like he was hitting a piece of metal, the sound that followed also confirmed his thoughts.


    His body was basically made from very durable armor!


    Isaac lowered the shirt and zipped the jacket.


    ''''Why did you give me something so valuable?'''' Isaac asked while tidying his jacket.


    Be waved her hand, ''''I can''t use it. It was specially made for yers.''''


    ''''Why didn''t you sell it then?'''' Isaac questioned, ''''It could sell for a lot.''''


    ''''Hehe, I think it would be a better fit for you.''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded. He felt very grateful for receiving something so valuable, and felt like he was always on receiving end.


    ''''Food is ready if you want.'''' Be took out the tes from the tray, offering one of them to Isaac.


    Isaac nodded with gratitude and quickly ate the food. Once he was done, he stood up and said.


    ''''I have some stuff to do. Good night.'''' Isaac went to the front door, about to open the door.


    ''''Wait!'''' Be shouted and stood up in a hurry. She nced outside the window and saw the pitch dark sky.


    ''''It''s already night, don''t you think it is dangerous?'''' Do you want to read more chapters? Come to


    ''''I will be fine.'''' Isaac opened the door, ''''Thanks for the food.''''


    Bam!


    He closed the door behind.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Be slumped down the chair and took something out of her pocket. It was another hexagon-shaped item!


    Outside the house.


    ''''Interface¡­'''' Isaac grabbed his Teleportation Pearl from his Inventory.


    ''''9 uses left¡­'''' Even though he knew that every use was valuable, it was an item that would speed up his grinding significantly.


    He would be able to skip all the traveling time, which was a huge advantagepared to many others.


    ''''Wait¡­'''' Isaac had a face of realization, ''''I wonder can I teleport to Moon Realm¡­''''


    ''''Moon Realm!'''' He had to test it out!


    However, his face filled with hope crumbled.


    [Error!]


    ''''Damn¡­'''' He sighed in frustration and figured it wouldn''t be so simple.


    ''''I can teleport to real life, but not to another realm? That is bullshit.'''' Even though he was frustrated, there was nothing he could do about it.


    ''''Forest of Unknown.'''' His body turned into light particles.


    ¡­


    The dark Forest of Unknown.


    Silence the only word the darkness could be described with.


    Soon, the darkness was interrupted. Light particles fell from the sky, and soon outline of a person was about to be formed.


    Once the light particles touched the wet ground, Isaac''s face was already visible. Only a secondter, his whole body was back to normal.


    However, he felt something under his feet quaking.Do you want to read more chapters? Come to


    tter!


    ''''Ah!'''' Isaac cried out, and his vision swam ufortably. Around him, a shrouded his body and took him straight to the top of the tree branch.


    His vision was still swimming. However, he managed to see the around him. The itself was hanging from a thick tree branch, definitely intentionally ced.


    ''What the hell!'' Isaac cried inwardly.


    ''''Woah, where the hell he popped out?'''' From the darkness, four figures appeared. They had simr grinning expressions.


    ''''Heh, my trap worked.'''' A short-haired man with thick sses said while puffing his chest onward. A piece of rope was wrapped around his arm for some reason.


    ''''Good job.'''' A muscr man with a short brown beard said. He was wearing a rtively heavy armory, with a long steel sword ced on his sheath.


    ''''Hehe.'''' An adorable little girl with a chubby cheek giggled joyfully. She was wearing pink robes with a pouch hanging from her waist.


    The pouch had a symbol of a green cross. The pouch itself was made from soft material, less coarse than leather and more smooth.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Fourth figure was almost unnoticeable with his dark robes. His shoulder-length jet-ck hair was rtively untidy, like he hadn''t showered for several weeks.


    Isaac scanned the four figures, ''The man with sses is¡­ Trap Master?''


    ''The muscr man is¡­ Either Knight or Swordsman, but he doesn''t have a shield, so maybe Swordsman is a better guess.''


    ''That little girl is¡­ Wait, is she even allowed to y? She looks like someone in her 13s.'' Isaac''s eyebrow twitched, and he wondered whether he should report or ignore it.


    However, the next moment, his gaze captured the pouch with a green cross on it.


    ''Pouch¡­ Green cross¡­ She is Medic!'' Isaac had read enough to know the difference between Healer and Medic.


    The Healer can heal from far away. However, it has a cooldown depending on the yer''s skill.


    The Medic, however, doesn''t have a cooldown. They have their equipments to take care of the wounds, but she would need to heal the wound manually.


    It was also a costly ss, having to buy more healing equipments almost every day.


    Many thought that Healer was superior. However, for wealthy Guilds, having a Medic could be more worthwhile.


    ''The fourth one¡­'' Isaac frowned and had no idea what ss he was in. He has gotten tired of seeing everyone wearing ck robes.


    Assassins, Thieves, Hitmen, and Dark Priests could be using simr robes.


    When he thought he wouldn''t be able to find out his ss, he noticed something hanging from the man''s waist.


    It was a walking cane shrouded in darkness.


    ''Dark Priest!'' It wasn''t hard for him to figure out what ss it was.


    ''''Shiru, kill him, please.'''' The Swordsman told the Dark Priest.


    ''''Fine¡­'''' The Dark Priest grabbed his walking cane and pointed the dark globe toward the hanging youth.


    ''''Interface!'''' Isaac moved the Interface into a position that would allow him to take out his gun with rtive ease. Once the gun was in his hand, the barrel was already peeking through the gaps of the!


    BANG!


    Before the Dark Priest could do his spell, a bullet had already left the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle.


    However, that bullet wasn''t targeting him!


    Instead, it was targeting the medic!


    ''''Ah!'''' The little girl paled, and when the bullet was rtively close to hitting her, the muscr Swordsman appeared on the path and deflected the bullet away!


    ''''You target little girls?'''' The little girl shouted toward Isaac, ''''What kind of monster are you?!''''


    Isaac turned the gun around and pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    The bullet cut through the rope and made the fall down from the tree branch.


    Once thended on the ground, Isaac jumped out and aimed his gun toward Trap Master,


    ''''I wasn''t aiming at you. I knew they would protect you, but no one would protect him.''''


    The Swordsman widened his eyes in shock, ''''Jack, dodge!''''


    BANG!


    Before his friend could dodge it, the bullet had already made a hole in his forehead.


    Jack, the Trap Master, turned into colorful pixels.

    ''''Bastard!'''' The Dark Priest moved the walking cane in front of him. The globe started emitting dark smoke.


    [Dark Vision Used!]


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac staggered behind, his vision getting darker with each passing second. Soon, he could barely see his gun, let alone in front of him!


    The surroundings were already dark, but Isaac felt like he had be blind!


    The muscr Swordsman did a horizontal sh. The sharp de of the sword reflecting his face.


    Swoosh!


    Isaac swung the gun around and moved it to interject the sword.


    Cling!


    The sparks flew around as two weapons collided. The Swordsman''s veins popped as he uttered all his strength to force the sword forward.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac''s arms shook under the insane weight.


    ''''So¡­ Weak!'''' The Swordsman grinned. A deep breath was discharged, ''''Huff¡­ Huff¡­''''


    ''''Y-You should be careful where you put your feet at!'''' Isaac touched the trigger.


    ''''Eh?'''' The Swordsman scowled and nced at his feet. His face paled immediately.


    The barrel of the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle was pointing downward, and his metallic shoe stood right below.


    BANG!


    The bullet drilled through the metal shoe, flesh, bones, and the soil below.


    ''''Ah!'''' The Swordsman let out a cry. He felt moistness surrounding his foot like he had dipped it into a pool.


    ''''Ha!'''' Isaac''s kicknded on the armor. The Swordsman wasn''t prepared and staggered behind with clear recoil in his actions.


    His dark vision slowly vanished, and soon, his sight returned to normal.


    The little girl opened her pouch, ''''Come here!''''


    The Swordsman unwillingly withdrew. He stopped next to the little girl and observed her as she took rolls of bandages out.


    ''''Don''t move!'''' She shrieked and began wrapping the bandages around the bleeding foot.


    The Swordsman witnessed his HP rapidly increasing.


    While he was recovering, it was up to the Dark Priest to keep Isaac upied.


    Another cloud of smoke left the orb, wrapping the surrounding environment in a dense mistyer.


    ''''Woo¡­'''' The Dark Priest used one of the most basic skills. Every Dark Priest had ordinary spells, which they could use while their main skills were on cooldown.


    He used the mostmon Dark Priest skill, called Dark Smoke.


    The Dark Smoke was essentially a skill to trap their opponents. Once the smoke was solidified, no one could break through it.


    Isaac had never fought against Dark Priest before but was aware of their skills. He managed to witness Underlord fighting several times.


    Thus, he rotated the gun around and pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    The bullet glid through the dense smokeyer, which hadn''t hardened yet.


    The Dark Priest widened his eyes in stupefaction.


    SPURT!


    The bullet drilled through his shoulder, ''''Argh!''''


    He felt an ufortable sensation of something fast and mucky going through his flesh and bones.


    It was the first time he had gotten shot, and it was a feeling he wouldn''t want to feel again!


    Soon, the smoke thickened, making it imprable!


    ''''Hah!'''' The Swordsman leaped over the solidified smoke and did an overhand sh.


    Isaac rolled through the moist ground, evading the sword strike. Once he was back on his two feet, he came face-to-face with an iing sword sh. Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m


    He quickly swung his sniper rifle and smacked the iing sword.


    The Swordsman abruptly grinned and did a front kick. He expected Isaac to start flying, however, once his kicknded on Isaac''s fragile-looking body.


    ''''Ah!'''' The Swordsman saw a rain of warnings. For some reason, he was the one who lost HP and not his opponent!


    ''''Wow¡­'''' Isaac felt almost all the impact of the kick getting reduced. He still felt slight recoil, but the hexagon armor shielded him wlessly!


    ''''What the hell is this?!'''' The Swordsman blurted out.


    ''''Not sure,'''' Isaac replied and swept his legs out under him.


    ''''Ah!'''' The Swordsman saw his vision swimming and soon found himself lying on the ground.


    ''''Eh?''''


    ''''Damn!'''' The Dark Priest cried out and bashed his cane down.


    [Dark Crystals Used!]


    From the sky, crystals wrapped in dark smoke began dropping.


    However, the Swordsman screamed with anger, ''''Shiru, you stupid fuck!''''


    ''''OH NO!'''' Shiru realized his blunder.


    Isaac skipped to the side and witnessed as the dark crystals got stuck deep inside the Swordsman''s body.


    He moved his gun and took aim. His finger approached the trigger, and once the Swordsman was taking hisst whiffs, he pulled the trigger!


    BANG!


    The bullet punctured through the Swordsman''s forehead, swiftly ying him.


    [You Killed Humper!]


    [2500 XP Earned!]


    The little girl paled and began fleeing, ''''Big Bro Shiru, kill him!''''


    Shiru paled and glimpsed at his skills, which were still on cooldown and won''t be usable for another half a minute!


    Isaac hopped across the air and sent Shiru soaring toward a nearby tree with a well-aimed kick.


    ''''Big Bro Shiru!'''' The little girl screamed with her face changing shades.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac initially aimed the barrel toward the dark priest. However, wanted to try something. He lifted his gun. At a distance, he noticed a thick tree branch.


    BANG!


    He squeezed the trigger and watched as the bullet flew across the air,nded on the broad branch, and cut through.


    Bam!


    The tree branchnded on the head of the Dark Priest, shattering his skull in half. His body turned into light particles with no dy.

    Isaac nced at the frightened little girl and smiled, ''''I am not a monster. You can go.''''


    ''''Hmph!'''' The little girl''s fear disappeared. She crossed her arms and sulked with inted cheeks, ''''We will get our revenge!''''


    ''''Hah?'''' Isaac was rather amused at her remarks.


    She opened her Interface and pressed [Log Out]


    ''''I swear, we will get our reve¡ª'''' Before she could end her words, she had already been transported away from the World of White.


    ''''Children¡­'''' Isaac shook his head. He seized the items he acquired from the yers.


    [Dark Ne (Umon)]


    [Trap Manual (White)]


    ''''Sigh¡­ Quite bad.'''' Isaac anticipated receiving something better. He nced at the Dark Ne, and it was pretty ordinary with gemstones made from some unknown material.


    At first, it looked rather fancy, even rare. However, the umon rank was a big turn-off.


    Isaac stored them inside his Inventory and was about to leave the battle location. However, a sound came from the pits of darkness that stopped him from having any thoughts of leaving.


    ''''Growl¡­''''


    [Blood-Thirsty Wolf]


    [HP: 700/700]


    Isaac turned around and saw the pitch dark woods. From the woods, a wolf emerged. The blood-colored fur made the wolf look fierce and blood-thirsty.


    However, it wasn''t merely one wolf.


    Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten¡­


    Ten wolves with matching furs appeared.


    Isaac nced at the side of his gun. A number with a light blueyer told him his bullet count.


    [3]


    Only three bullets remained.


    ''''Why is it always wolves¡­'''' He took aim and prepared for another life and death conflict.

    ''''Haah¡­ Hah¡­'''' Isaac''s drained body was leaning against the tree. In front of him, the remains of the wolves were dissolved into hundreds of hovering particles.


    The light blue particles slowly floated toward the sky, vanishing once they reached high enough altitude.


    ''''Damn¡­'''' Isaac had to admit that he hated fighting against wolves. The battle was far from easy, even though he managed to survive fairly well.


    At the start of the match, Isaac quickly fired a shot and managed to kill two wolves with a single bullet. The first wolf got hit in the eye, which couldn''t hinder the bullet''s velocity enough.


    The bullet exited through the back of the wolf''s skull andnded on the forehead of another wolf.


    The blood-thirsty wolves quickly counter-attacked. However, Isaac forced the barrel of his sniper rifle into their throats and froze their internals.


    The battle resumed, and Isaac managed to control them like a puppeteer. At the end of the fight, he shot hisst two bullets and killed the rest of the wolves.


    From that confrontation alone, he received 20000 XP, allowing him to level up twice.


    [Level: 41]


    Isaac nced at his HP and felt rather fortunate.

    On the side of the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle, the number 0 began reversing. The light blue color shone.

    [6¡­]


    [8¡­]


    [10]


    The reload was automatic.


    Isaac strapped the gun to his back while standing up. Afterward, he collected all the items he obtained from killing the wolves.


    In total, he received seven fangs, three ws, and ten blood-thirsty wolves'' meat.


    ''''I wonder would anyone be willing to pay items with the name blood-thirsty on them¡­'''' Isaac caressed his hair.


    He was sure that the merchants would buy literally anything. However, he was banned from their respectful establishments.


    Isaac took another nce at the battlefield. The solidified smoke was still present and hadn''t disappeared even after the Dark Priest''s demise.


    However, it was gradually withering away.


    Isaac turned his head around and eventually left.


    After walking for several minutes, a long-awaited message appeared.


    [You have been unharmed for 10 minutes!]


    [Your wounds have been healed!]

    ''''¡­'''' Isaac swiped his hand, made the holographic screen disappear, and resumed trekking.


    He had no specific destination in mind. However, that was the same with everyone else. Knowing where to walk in the dark Forest of Unknown was almost impossible.


    Fwoosh!


    ''''!'''' Isaac jerked to the nearby bush, concealing himself.


    From the dark forest, two individuals came while exchanging punches.


    One of the figures was a bare-chested man with bloodied teeth. His muscles quivered as he sent another punch.


    The second figure was suffering under the weighty attacks. His garments were ragged, with disheveled hair and a dull face. Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m


    ''''Fist of Salvation!'''' The bare-chested man''s fist went straight through the man''s chest.


    His fist shone in radiant red, soon extending all around the atmosphere.


    ''''AAAAH!'''' The pale-faced man''s eyes glowed in luminous red, and his whole body bulged.


    However, at the next moment¡­


    Crunch!


    His body exploded from inside!


    His destroyed body turned into atoms, instantly vanishing from the World of White alongside iing trauma.


    ''''Hahaha!'''' The bare-chested manughed heartfully.


    ''Such strength!'' Isaac eximed. He had never seen such a strong attack by a yer before.


    ''''Hmm?'''' The bare-chested man suddenly scowled.


    Sniff Sniff.


    Out of nowhere, he began to sniff the air around him. Attempting to find out the location where the unusual fragrance wasing from.


    ''''Hahaha¡­'''' Hisughter reverberated in the dark night, ''''Whoever is hiding¡­ You cannot hide from me.''''


    He looked around and clenched his fist, ''''My senses have been enhanced¡­ I can smell you¡­ Stop hiding!''''


    Isaac slowly started wriggling away, but he crawled straight on top of the twigs.


    Crack¡­


    His body sprang after one of the twigs cracked in half.


    ''''There you are!'''' The bare-chested man''s blood-colored eyes shifted toward a nearby bush. Isaac finally noticed his name, and it was not a pleasant sight.


    [RealSwindler]


    The yer Tag was in the color of blood with raven rims. It meant that he would almost be hunted down by Royal Family!


    If the yer Tag were entirely in color ck, that yer would be hunted down by Royal Family''s Guards.


    Such yer cannot be left alone.


    yer RealSwindler wasn''t far from it!


    ''''Fist of Annihtion!'''' The atmosphere changed. The night became bloody red, and the wind ceased.


    RealSwindler''s clenched fist changed shades. From his standard skin color to bloody red.


    ''''DIE!''''


    CRASH!


    The earth turned upside down. The punch made nearby trees unrooted. The grass was blown away, leaving a devastated wastnd behind.


    Isaac was also blown away. His body soared across the sky and crashed on the ground several dozen meters away.


    ''''Ah!'''' Once, his body''s momentum halted. Isaac was lying on the wet ground with the HP screen beeping.


    [-300 HP!]


    [HP: 291/591]


    A distance away from him, the bare-chested man grinned and decreased his body''s posture until he was squatting.


    ''''I aming!''''


    BOOM!


    The ground below him exploded. However, RealSwindler was already skipping across the air, almost like he was flying!


    ''''HAH!'''' His explosive muscles packed enough power to eradicate trees, destroy the earth, and kill opponents with a single blow. However, there was much more concealed inside them!


    Isaac quickly stood up and saw a meteor flying straight toward him. When his vision became more clear, he noticed that it wasn''t a meteor, but a human!


    ''''Hah!'''' RealSwindler sent a shower of punches right before him. Sending sts of air pressure in front of him.


    Isaac unstrapped his gun, swung it around him, and aimed directly toward RealSwindler''s forehead.


    Bang!


    He pulled the trigger and was propelled back by the recoil. However, it was intended.


    The air pressure blows exploded in front of him. If the recoil didn''t push him back, he would have lost more HP, maybe even killed!


    ''''Hm?'''' RealSwindler tilted his head and ignored the bullet that passed his cheek.


    Thud!


    Hended on the ground, right in front of Isaac.


    Isaac tried to raise his arm. However, at that moment, RealSwindler swiped with his finger, making a bloody cut on Isaac''s throat.

    His weary eyes became hyper-focused. In his pupils, light bluish snowkes emerged out of nowhere.


    He quickly scanned the nearby space and noticed the bare-chested man slowly stepping away.


    ''I can''t win!'' The first thought arose after a split second. He quietly stood up and ran away¡ªhis steps making no sound whatsoever.


    ''''Hmm, where is the notification?'''' The bare-chested man finally noticed that the notification of his kill didn''t appear. He opened his interface and saw his XP being the same.


    He twisted his body halfway and noticed that the white-haired boy had vanished!


    ''''Hmph¡­'''' His eyes turned brutal as he started pursuing Isaac. His body became blurry as he maneuvered past the trees, bushes, and boulders.


    Isaac ran deeper into the forest. His hyper-focused eyes surveyed the whole nearby area within a split second. Behind him, he could hear the distinct screaming sounds. However, he wasn''t concentrated on them.


    Even though the forest was as dark as it could get, with the help of White Death, he managed to see everything as clear as day.


    Some distance away, he noticed a tree with a broken trunk. The trunk was barely intact and could fall from a single push.


    Isaac shifted his path and ran past the damaged tree, but before going further away, he spun around and punched at the trunk.


    He shook his sore hand and resumed running away.


    Several seconds after, the bare-chested man reached the broken tree. However, when he was about to pass, the tree trunk finally couldn''t hold it in.


    Crack!


    The tree dropped directly to where RealSwinder was!


    ''''Eh?!'''' RealSwindler''s body froze, and he took a second to realize his current peril. He ced his arms above him and caught the falling tree.


    ''''Grr!'''' His blood vessels protruded as he tried to keep the tree from falling.


    BANG!


    RealSwindler looked directly in front and saw a flying bullet!


    ''''Shit!'''' He moved out of the tree''s way, allowing it to fall. However, the bullet still managed to hit him in the thigh!


    Blood started streaming out from his bleeding thigh.


    ''''FUCK!'''' RealSwindler was enraged. He vaulted over the copsed tree and ran toward the noise.


    Once he reached the location where the sound came from, he found nothing. But then, his footnded on something slippery, causing him to slip!


    ''''Ah!'''' He fell on his butt but quickly rolled to the side.


    His previous spot exploded once another bulletnded on it.


    RealSwindler rotated his body around and saw a shadowy figure moving in the trees.


    ''''Bastard!'''' He stood up and smashed the nearby tree into oblivion!


    CRACK!


    The tree cracked in half and fell. However, the shadowy figure had already vanished. Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m


    Sniff. Sniff.


    He sniffed the air and managed to smell the scent. RealSwindler quickly pounced forward and ran after the smell.


    Soon, he left the forest and came to a stop. In front of him was a ridge with a deepke at the bottom.


    Ssh!


    RealSwindler bent forward and saw water sshing, ''''He jumped down..? What a crazy guy!''''


    Thump!


    ''''Oh¡­'''' RealSwindler''s body froze, and he slowly lifted his arms. Isaac was right behind him, holding his sniper rifle, the barrel touching the back of RealSwindler''s skull.


    ''''How?'''' He asked. Honestly curious how Isaac managed to outsmart him, but there wasn''t genuine fear on his mug.


    ''''Look next to you,'''' Isaac spoke and moved his finger to the trigger.


    RealSwindler nced next to him and saw rocks, but one of the rocks was obviously scooped out and thrown away.


    ''''I see.'''' He said without any emotion in his tone.


    ''''Any final words?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Yes.'''' RealSwindler said and suddenly grinned, ''''But not from me.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac frowned and had a bad feeling.


    Bang!


    He pulled the trigger and saw the bullet drilling through RealSwindler''s skull. However, his face immediately changed.


    RealSwindler''s body slowly faded away from existence, but not how it was supposed to. Usually, the corpse of the yer would turn into pixels.


    RealSwindler''s body disappeared like he was never there.


    Stab!


    ''''Ah!'''' A figure wearing a top hat appeared behind Isaac and plunged his dagger deep inside his exposed back. Blue blood flowed down from the openings of his teeth.


    ''''Hehe¡­'''' The figureughed and took out his dagger. He pulled out a napkin and cleansed the bloodied de.


    Isaac''s body became paralyzed as he fell down with almost no life signals. His eyes kept moving. However, his body waspletely motionless.


    The surroundings changed drastically. The ridge vanished, theke faded, and the surroundings disappeared.


    Isaac''s eyes quivered as he noticed the surroundings looked very familiar. He was lying amid ice and blood.


    He also noticed the solidified smoke. Somehow, he had returned to the battlefield, where he fought the wolves and four yers!


    ''''Incredible, isn''t it?'''' The unknown figure showed a little bit of his face as he smiled, ''''You must be confused.''''


    Isaac attempted to open his mouth, but his tongue and lips didn''t move. He couldn''t even lift his finger. He waspletely paralyzed!


    ''''Well¡­ You see.'''' The figure showed his glove, ''''I had you under my spell¡­''''


    Isaac''s eyes shook, ''Spell¡­? What?!''


    ''''I am Trickster.'''' He stood up and spread his arms around, ''''Hahaha, that battle was marvelous!''''


    ''''I am truly impressed that you managed to outsmart my creation, RealSwindler! Hahahaha!''''


    Isaac''s hyper-focused eyes raced. He scanned every tree, rock, leaves, and even drops of water from the nearby area.


    ''''That name¡­'''' The Trickster chuckled, ''''RealSwindler¡­ Did you see that hint? Swindler¡­ Kukukuku.''''


    He sat down next to Isaac''s paralyzed figure and patted his soft white hair, ''''How did you survive my killing blow? When RealSwindler cut through your throat, it was actually me moving behind you and slitting your throat with my trusty dagger.''''


    Isaac''s concentration was slowly slipping. His shock couldn''t be described in words. He remembered Hecate saying he shouldn''t underestimate illusions and when he finally witnessed it.


    It was absolutely ridiculous!

 Chapter 297 Distance Of A Lifetime.

    ''''Not nning to answer?'''' The Trickster turned the dagger around and wiped the remainder of the blood with Isaac''s shoulder.


    ''''H-How¡­'''' A blurry whisper reached the Trickster''s ears.


    ''''Hmm?'''' He bent closer, positioning his ear in front of Isaac''s lips, ''''What did you say?''''


    ''''How¡­ Are you¡­'''' Whenever Isaac opened his mouth. He felt like an invisible power pushed his lip down.


    ''''Strong?'''' The Trickster finished the unspoken words he expected to hear.


    Isaac barely managed to nod.


    ''''Well, does this answer your question?'''' He opened his Interface and made his level visible to the eyes of others.


    [Level: 50]


    Isaac''s eyes quavered. A mix of astonishment, worry, and disbelief.


    ''''Let me introduce myself.'''' The Trickster fixed his cor and stood up with his shoes rattling.


    Rattle!


    ''''My name is¡­'''' The Trickster took off his top hat and politely bowed, ''''Trolhelm!''''


    [Trolhelm]


    Isaac etched that name into his memory. His hyper-focused mind ran in overdrive, making his nose bleed.


    The driblets of blood trailed down his soft skin.


    ''''Oh, that''s filthy.'''' Trolhelm took out his napkin and got rid of all the driblets of blood.


    ''''Now¡­'''' Once he was done, he tossed his dirty napkin away and rested the dagger''s edge on Isaac''s throat, ''''How didn''t you perish?''''


    ''''I¡­'''' Isaac opened his mouth but was incapable of speaking.


    ''''Hmm¡­ The poison worked well¡­ This is bothersome.'''' Trolhelm slipped the dagger back to scabbard and took a notebook out, ''''I gotta take notes. Remember, not to use heavy poison against weaker opponents!''''


    ''''It is a waste of money and time!''''


    Once the words appeared on the notebook, he shut it and returned it to Inventory.


    p!


    ''''Let''s do this!'''' He unsheathed the dagger and slit Isaac''s throat.


    ''''GAH!''''


    ''''Ah, fuck!'''' A flood of blood stained Trolhelm''s face in red, ''''Pah!''''


    He used his sleeve and wiped the excessive blood away. Once he opened his eyes, he saw Isaac trying to breathe, unable to do so. However, the injury was gradually closing.


    Once the injury was healed, Isaac took a long and relief-filled puff.


    ''''Hmm, fascinating.'''' Trolhelm walked circles around Isaac like a scientist analyzing a guinea pig.


    Isaac shook his head and was sure that everything wasn''t normal. Soon, he noticed that he couldn''t manage to see everything as clearly as before. It could only mean one thing.


    White Death was ending!


    ''No!'' Isaac screamed inwardly. His situation was one of the direst ones he had been in.


    The only way he managed to survive till now was because of White Death.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Trolhelm saw the change in Isaac''s face. The side of his mouth twisted into a sickening grin, ''''I see¡­ You aren''t immortal¡­ Is there a time limit?''''


    He ced his chin on Isaac''s shoulder and whispered, ''''And it is ending soon..?''''


    Gulp!


    ''''Hehe¡­'''' Trolhelm grinned after hearing Isaac''s dry gulp. He felt immense satisfaction for getting such a reaction.


    If there wasn''t a time limit, he would spasm into ecstasy and would want to spend more time torturing. However, all good things have toe to an end. Do you want to read more chapters? Come to p a n d a - n ovel,c.o.m


    ''''I want you to know¡­ This ain''t personal.'''' Trolhelm grazed Isaac''s skin with the sharp de.


    When he was about to thrust his dagger forward, his grinning expression froze as a giant bear with blood-red fur appeared from the other side of the clearing!


    [Blood-Thirsty Bear]


    [HP: 707/707]


    ''''RAWR!'''' The Bear''s prominent snout managed to smell the scent of fresh blood!


    ''''Come on!'''' Trolhelm pointed the dagger at the Bear, ''''Go away, you piece of meat!''''


    ''''RAWR!'''' The Bear did not like thement even slightly. With four limbs, it was only a matter of time before reaching Trolhelm and Isaac.


    ''''Fuck!'''' Trolhelm sheathed the dagger and spread his arms open.


    The bear rushed forward at an ambling pace. Both the front and back feet moved together. With remarkable synchrony, the speed kept increasing.


    The tips of Trolhelm''s fingers began moving. At first, his fingers moved like he was ying the piano.


    From the tips of the finger, a purplish hue seeped through. Trolhelm moved his hand forward. The fingers stopped ying the piano and began to shred!


    The finger''s imitated the movements of any ded weapon. Spear, sword, dagger, halberd, hatchet.


    ''''Roar¡­'''' The Bear slowed down. The head was still arrowed downward. However, the head was soon lifted, allowing them to see captivating purple eyes.


    Trolhelm grinned and snapped his fingers.


    Snap!


    The Bear''s calmness vanished like it was never there. It became a murderous beast whose main goal was to kill everyone in sight!


    ''''RAWR!'''' The Bear began to move its arms around rapidly. Onlookers wouldn''t understand what the bear was doing. It seemed to be fighting against an invisible enemy.


    ''''Heh, now¡­ Where were we?'''' Trolhelm asked while slowly dragging his body around. When his body stopped rotating, he saw the white-haired youth holding something between his two hands.


    ''''What is that?'''' He extended his hand forward, but Isaac had already ripped it in half!


    Rip!


    Two halves of the golden ticket disappeared into golden particles.


    ''''What did you do?'''' Trolhelm asked. His previous act was slowly crumbling apart. His confidence, arrogance, and yfulness were gone.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' Isaac finally smiled. His smile was one of the most real ones he had ever shown in his short life.


    ''''What did you do?!'''' Trolhelm screamed and shed in a downward motion. However, the de disappeared when the dagger sliced through Isaac''s arm!


    ''''Wha¡ª'''' Trolhelm looked at his deless dagger. Only the handle remained.


    ''''Goodbye.'''' Isaac grinned and was shrouded in a golden cocoon!


    Trolhelm released a barrage of punches, trying to break the cocoon''s shell. However, he was unable to do so and had to watch as the cocoon disappeared.


    ¡­


    ''''Mmmh¡­'''' Isaac felt a warm feeling spreading throughout his body. He wriggled his toes around, trying to regain his bodily functions.


    He knew that his paralyzation was over after moving his fingers, toes, and legs.


    A calm breeze of wind fluttered his white hair around. His eyebrows squirmed as his eyelids gradually opened.


    ''''Woah¡­'''' Isaac slowly stood up, his gaze still stuck on the beautiful night sky. The sky was crammed with stars and a clear moon.


    The stars seemed to be close enough to be able to grasp them. However, the distance was more than apparent when Isaac tried doing so.


    It was a distance of a lifetime.

 Chapter 298 God City.

    Isaac looked around and saw a mesmerizing scenery. Lush forest with pure green leaves and budded blossoms.


    ''''Golden apples?'''' Isaac extended his hand and picked an apple from one of the trees. The apple glimmered under the starlight.


    ''''Is this eatable?'''' He thought aloud. He moved his finger around the gold apple and felt tempted to try it out.


    He opened his mouth wide open, grazed the apple with his teeth, and took arge bite.


    Crunch!


    The eaten parts of the apple traversed through his throat andnded on his stomach.


    ''''Delicious!'''' Isaac mored. Golden liquid streamed down from the apple.


    Crunch!


    He quickly devoured another piece before the golden liquid was squandered. Several momentster, the whole apple found its way to his stomach.


    ''''Wow¡­'''' He stroked his full stomach, ''''It was only one apple¡­ Yet, I am so full.''''


    DING! DING!


    ''''Eh?!'''' Isaac flinched and saw notifications hovering in front of him.


    [You Have Eaten Golden Apple!]


    [Strength Limit Increased from 50 to 100!]


    Inside Isaac''s body, changes were undergoing. The shackles gradually loosened, freeing more of the bright light. However, it was a minimal change, and soon, it stopped.


    ''''Wow¡­'''' Isaac opened his Interface and was astonished at the change.


    [STR: 50]


    ''''I can increase it more¡­'''' He nced at his Stat Points and had 30 remaining!


    He allocated them all to the strength stat, and soon the 50 became 80!


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' Isaac raised his chin and inhaled the fresh air into his lungs before exhaling and releasing them back to the wild.


    Fwoosh!


    Above the trees, a blur of gold soared across the air.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac noticed the weird scene. The blur of gold looked somewhat simr to a human.


    He ran in the same direction as the golden blur, and soon, he noticed a shimmer of light. He was about to reach the end of the woods!


    Isaac increased his speed and soon left the forest. In front of him, scenery that would be impossible to erase from his mind emerged.


    A City.


    Around the forest was a gigantic City with structures made from gold, marbles, and silver. Towering buildings made Skyscrapers look like a joke.


    Streets packed with godly-looking individuals. Most of them wore extravagant robes, garments, and suits.


    Around the streets were structures made with architecture that was worlds apart from mortal facilities.


    Whenever one of the inhabitants walked toward the buildings, the ss doors automatically slid open, allowing everyone to step inside the buildings without having to open them manually.


    Isaac managed to see the windows, at the other side, godly figures were either doing their work or enjoying their time.


    However, another part of the City was even more captivating. Neighborhoods surrounded by golden fences and entrances. Hundreds of different buildings, gardens, and gates were standing proudly in the neighborhood.


    The neighborhood was swarmed with people, with Gods and Goddesses of every age walking back and forth between the avenues. Even individuals with wings on their backs and golden armor or robes were part of themunity.


    Seeing children wasn''t unusual sight either. They seemed rather joyful while spending time with other children on either yground or in their own quarters.


    The nighttime didn''t bother any of them, and it seemed like it was as busy as daytime. The night was only another time of day for them, which didn''t prevent them from doing whatever they enjoyed.


    The whole city was enveloped in a beautiful shimmer of light. The entire area shining in beautiful brilliance.


    Isaac''s words got stuck in his throat. In the distance, he saw arge golden pce that was effortlessly thergest building in the City.


    It wasn''t the tallest but was easily bigger than any castle Isaac had seen. The pce was over a thousand times bigger than his own house.


    ''''This is¡­ Beautiful¡­'''' Isaac lowered his arms and relished the sight as long as he could. In front of him was a pathway that led straight to the streets. However, everyone in the streets walked past the trail and continued their everyday life.


    No one had noticed Isaac yet, but soon that changed.


    Fwoosh!


    Once again, Isaac heard the sound of wings pping.


    Thud!


    A blur of goldnded right before him, causing Isaac to yank backward.


    In front of him, a handsome man with beautiful white wings and golden armor appeared. He had short blond hair, sharp facial characteristics, and a well-defined upper body.


    ''''Who are you, and why were you trespassing in the Garden of Eden?!'''' The Angel grazed the handle of his long sword. Ready to slice the intruder apart.


    ''Garden of Eden?!'' Isaac cried out, ''Oh no¡­ I ate an apple from there!''


    ''''Answer!''''


    Schwing!


    Part of the sword was drawn from the scabbard.


    ''''I-I don''t know!'''' Isaac raised his arms, ''''I ripped a golden ticket apart and found myself there!''''


    The Angel raised an eyebrow and slightly rxed the grip from the handle, ''''Show me the ticket.''''


    Isaac''s face quickly varied shades, ''''Well¡­ You see, it was left behind where I came from.''''


    The Angel''s eyes shone in a beautiful shimmer of light, ''''That means you were trespassing, and that deserves godly punishment!''''


    ''''No, wait!''''


    The Angel didn''t listen to any more words and swung the sword in a horizontal line.


    The de effortlessly sliced Isaac''s body apart!


    Isaac''s eyes trembled, and soon everything became dark.


    ¡­


    ''''Mm..?'''' Isaac''s eyes groggily opened up. He noticed a dark room and silver bars.


    ''''What..?'''' He rubbed his eyes and focused his gaze. His current location was a prison cell somewhere in God City.


    ''''Are you kidding¡­'''' Isaac started tugging his hair, ''''Fuck!''''


    Tap!


    From the hallway, footsteps reverberated in the dark prison.


    Tap!


    Rattle!


    The footsteps neared the prison cell, and it didn''t take long for Isaac to find out where the noise wasing from.


    A man with beautiful golden hair and white wings appeared. He was wearing golden robes with ear piercings and long eyshes.


    He was a rtively beautiful individual, but his eyes showed limitless coldness.


    He was carrying a fragment of paper as he stopped in front of the prison cell.


    His nametag hovered above him.


    [Zarfel]


    ''''Are you aware of your sins?'''' Zarfel asked.


    ''''What?'''' Isaac stopped in front of the silver bars and banged his hands on them, ''''What sins?!''''


    Zarfel''s face didn''t show any changes. He brought out a pencil and scribbled on the paper.


    Once he was done writing, he offered the paper to Isaac.


    Isaac grabbed it and peeked at the text.


    [Sin: Trespassing in Garden of Eden]


    [Punishment: 100 years of imprisonment]

 Chapter 299 Zarfel,The Angel.

    Zarfel strode away, disregarding the screams of nearby prisoners.


    Isaac''s hand trembled as he held the piece of paper that felt heavier than moment ago.


    Rip!


    He ripped it apart out of anger, ''''This is bullshit!''''


    ''''Hello, neer.'''' A teasing voice came from the opposite cell. An elderly man with dark hair and broken teeth revealed his face, ''''First time? Hahahaha!''''


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' Prisoners of nearby cells copied hisughter and started taunting the white-haired youth.


    ''''Fuck!'''' Isaac swiped with his hand, made the Interface appear, and smashed the [Log Out] button out of anger.


    His body vanished into particles.


    ''''Oh¡­ He was a yer.'''' The old man snorted and sat down on the sludgy ground, ''''How lucky¡­ He can vanish ande whenever he wants to. I am so envious!''''


    ¡­


    In real life.


    Isaac''s eyes mmed open. He removed the headgear and ced it back on the box.


    However, he didn''t take it back to the wardrobe. Instead, he spun around and started smashing the nearby pillow, ''''Fuck, fuck, fuck!''''


    When he was about to punch the cushion the tenth time, his arm stopped and hovered in front.


    ''''Damn it¡­'''' He lowered his hand and began scratching his head, ''''100 years¡­ That''s basically a ban!''''


    ''''Think¡­ Think¡­'''' He sat down and massaged his forehead. Trying to get his mind racing. He started thinking of ways of escaping the prison cell.


    ''''Teleportation Pearl?'''' He facepalmed, ''''Why did I not think that?''''


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac wiped his sweat and felt his anger fading away, ''''That was a simple solution.''''


    He grabbed the headgear and went back to his sleeping position. Once his headnded on the pillow and his body was wrapped in warmth, he ced the headgear around his head.


    ''''Enter!''''


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Good Luck, White Death!]


    [Game: White Online - Status: Outstanding!]


    [Wee to the World of Legacies!]


    [World of White Wees You, Legacy Carrier!]


    ¡­


    Once Isaac opened his eyes, he saw the dirty ceiling, driblets of dirty water dripping from the narrow crevices.


    ''''Oh, you are back.'''' The old man said and pushed his head through the silver bars, ''''Missed me?''''


    Isaac patted the dust away and stood up to look at the old man, ''''Yeah, like a headache.''''


    The old man''s eyes widened in surprise. He didn''t expect such a witty remark from the youth.


    Isaac couldn''t care less about the old man, who was trying to use a fear tactic to get any reaction from him.


    He was about to open his Inventory and leave the God Realm once and for all. He had to admit that the visit was far from pleasurable.


    Rattle!


    Again, the same rattling sound came. Nearby prisoners quieted down.


    Zarfel walked past the prison cells without taking a nce at any of them. He stopped in front of a prison cell, where a new prisoner was barely awake.


    ''''Are you aware of your sins?'''' He asked with a scrap of paper in his hand.


    ''''Yes¡­'''' The prisoner admitted.


    Zarfel wrote it down and handed the paper to the prisoner.


    When the prisoner saw the text, he started weeping buckets.


    Zarfel turned around and strode away. However, when he passed Isaac''s cell¡­


    ''''Can I leave?'''' Isaac''s head popped up from the silver bars.


    Zarfel''s feet came to a halt.


    ''''HAH!'''' The old man boomed inughter. The fellow prisoners followed after him and began tough.


    ''''Silence!'''' Zarfel''s venomous tone silenced theughter.


    He red at Isaac and said, ''''You¡­ Shut up.''''


    ''''I am not criminal.'''' Isaac kept chatting. Each word of his made Zarfel angrier.


    ''''Hahaha!'''' The old man hugged his stomach and rolled in the ground with tears pouring down his eyes.


    It was like he heard the world''s greatest joke.


    His fellow prisoners also couldn''t contain theirughter.


    ''''SHUT UP!'''' Zarfel took out his baton and smashed it into Isaac''s face.


    Thud!


    Isaac''s body flew to the end of his prison cell. His nose broke, with the rest of his body heavily harmed.


    His body crashed to the floor. Isaac noticed that his HP didn''t decrease. Only his body suffered any damage.


    The old man and other prisoners became quiet.


    Isaac shakily stood up with the bloodied face, ''''Ptui!''''


    He spat out the rest of the blood.


    Zarfel nced at the blood, ''Blue¡­''


    He spun around and was about to leave.


    However, at that moment, Isaac mmed his hands on the prison bars and shouted, ''''I am Legacy Carrier of White Death!''''


    Zarfel''s body froze.


    ''''Eh?'''' The old man thought his ears had been clogged, ''Did he just say White Death? No¡­ There is no way.''


    ''''You dare to utter his name?!'''' Zarfel raised his baton. The baton shone in a golden glow.


    Isaac gritted his teeth but did not back down.


    When Zarfel was about to smash the baton down, the temperature decreased.


    ''''Huff¡­'''' A whiff of cold air left everyone''s lungs. Zarfel''s nced at the ceiling. His eyes slowly began to widen.


    Tiny snowkes dropped down from the ceiling andnded on the dirty floor. The same scene happened in every prison cell.


    Zarfel caught one of the snowkes and felt like he was carrying a mountain!


    Thud!


    He knelt down, unable to lift his head.


    Tap.


    Quiet footsteps rang in the cramped hallway. A figure clothed in white calmly strode forward.


    He walked past the kneeling figure of Zarfel and stopped in front of Isaac''s cell.


    The old man knelt down, followed by other prisoners.


    ''''L-Lord White Death¡­ W-Why have youe here?'''' Zarfel asked. His previous emotionless facade had disappeared, reced by one of dread.


    ''''Well¡­'''' Simo thumped on the prison bars, ''''You imprisoned my Legacy Carrier¡­ Why is that?''''


    ''He was speaking the truth!'' The old man cried inwardly.


    Zarfel opened his mouth and started thinking about why they imprisoned the white-haired youth. He only knew that someone was seen in the Garden of Eden and was sent to jail by one of the lower-ranked Angels.


    ''''H-He was trespassing in Garden of Eden!''''


    Crack!


    Simo clenched his fist and broke the bars.


    Isaac stepped out of jail and patted the dust from his shoulders, ''''Thanks.''''


    Simo nodded and went to Zarfel.


    Zarfel''s body froze as he felt immense pressure emerging around him.


    ''''What happened to the innocent till proven guilty?'''' Simo was somewhat disappointed at the jail system in God City, ''''I will have a word with Zeus.''''


    Zarfel''s eyes widened in fear. At first, he felt fear for someone mentioning God Zeus'' name so casually. Afterward, he felt absolute dread.


    He could lose his Angel Status if Zeus was displeased with his actions and knowing his rtionship with Simo. That would most likely be the case!


    Simo walked past him and left the prison with Isaac.

 Chapter 300 The First Man.

    Simo and Isaac reached a Garden located in the Heavenly Neighborhood. The building was grandiose with an extravagant garden.


    In the middle of the garden was a table for three and arge apple tree.


    ''''Whew.'''' Simo dragged the chair behind him and got seated.


    Isaac followed and sat on another chair. His body almost sank in once his buttnded on the cushion.


    ''''What is this ce?'''' Isaac asked once he was seated.


    ''''My home,'''' Simo said nonchntly. He looked somewhat disinterested while gazing around his house. His dwelling would be a dream house for many.


    ''''Oh, you live here?'''' Isaac didn''t expect that. He thought God Realm was like the name suggested, only for God.


    ''''Not really.'''' Simo replied, ''''I have my own residence in God Realm, but I am more fond of Winter Realm.''''


    ''''Winter Realm?'''' Isaac''s brows crinkled, ''''What is that?''''


    ''''Right¡­ You don''t really know.'''' Simo tapped the table, debating whether he should tell him.


    Isaac waited patiently but soon noticed Simo had no intention of responding.


    ''''Hmm¡­ You don''t need to know¡­ Yet.'''' Simo said, ''''And, I have my own Cottage in Winter Realm, that''s where I live.''''


    ''''I see¡­'''' Isaac was somewhat dissatisfied for not receiving any answers but understood that there must be a good reason.


    Simo unmasked himself, revealing his scarred face. Many would be frightened at sight, but not Isaac.


    Isaac looked him straight in the eye.


    ''''You¡­ Need to get stronger.'''' Simo said. He took an ointment from his pocket and applied it around his injury.


    Isaac''s face became serious and remembered Trolhelm, the person who humiliated him. The humiliation made him remember his real-life incident. It wasn''t far away from being identical.


    ''''I know¡­'''' Isaac knew that he had to get stronger. Otherwise, the Legacy he received would be useless, ''''I am just¡­ Very distracted, right now.''''


    ''''Get rid of them.'''' Simo finished covering half of his face in the ointment, ''''Be free from distractions.''''


    ''''How?'''' Isaac asked. He would really like to know how.


    Simo crossed his legs and asked, ''''What about your revenge? Has it been aplished?''''


    ''''No.'''' Isaac shook his head. Even remembering Oliver''sughing face made him fill with anger, but he was very fearful of failing his revenge.


    ''''That is your main distraction.'''' Simo pulled a flower from the ground. The flower had four petals.


    He tugged one of the petals, yanking it from the flower, ''''First, get your revenge.''''


    The petal vanished, and Simo instantly extracted another petal, ''''Second, get your life in proper order.''''


    The second petal vanished. However, Simo instantly plucked the third petal, ''''Third, focus on White Online. You have Mythical Helmet, use it like it was supposed to!''''


    Isaac nodded with a serious look.


    ''''You are the only one with the Helmet¡­ Until others receive it, you must be in the top 100!'''' Simo put a lot of significance on his words. His words were worth more than any gold.


    Andstly, he ripped thest petal and made it vanish, ''''And fourth¡­ Be strong in White Online¡­ And also, in real life.''''


    ''''In real life¡­'''' Isaac opened his mouth but was interrupted by Simo.


    ''''Don''t say it¡­'''' Simo waved his finger side to side, ''''Don''t say you can''t.''''


    That was precisely what Isaac was going to say. He slowly closed his mouth, nodding with clear understanding.


    ''''Follow me.'''' Simo stood up and stepped out of the garden.


    Isaac stood up and quickly followed behind. They walked in the streets, going past cheerful citizens who also noticed them.


    ''''Kyaa!'''' One of the Goddesses suddenly shouted. However, soon covered her mouth with dread filling her face.


    Simo nced at the fearful Goddess. However, he soon turned his gaze away, making the Goddess''s body rx.


    She thought she would die after seeing the monster in the flesh and was relieved because she managed to survive.


    The Goddess almost started weeping, her gaze still following Simo''s back.


    Isaac walked next to Simo and saw his bare face. Everyone who saw his disfigured face grimaced in disgust, even though they tried to hide it.


    The trademark of White Death was his infamous ski mask, and not many knew how he looked underneath. No one in the streets recognized him.


    Isaac wondered why he wasn''t wearing his mask and didn''t dare to ask either.


    Simo calmly walked in the streets and sometimes heard the sound of disgust-filled whispers. Usually, Gods and Goddesses were beautiful and handsome.


    They all loved beautiful things.


    When they saw someone with a disfigured face or something that didn''t please their eyes. They could barely contain their disgust.


    Isaac, however, received ttering looks from nearby Gods and Goddesses. Few Goddesses wanted to pick him up and have fun in their enormous mansions.


    However, seeing the white-haired youth walking next to the disfigured man made them stop from moving forward.


    ''''See?'''' Simo opened his mouth, ''''Do you see the difference?''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac raised his eyebrow, ''''Difference between what?''''


    Simo said, ''''No one would dare to look at me in the wrong way if they knew my real identity.''''


    ''''Or should I say¡­ Fake identity. This is real me, while White Death is simply an alias.''''


    Isaac nodded and remembered the scene in prison. Simo was like a high-ranked God who appeared among mortals.


    Simo''s steps soon halted as he saw that they had finally arrived. In front of him, arge building and garden were surrounded by gold fences.


    Lush bushes surrounded the garden, and the grass was a lovely green.


    He pushed the gate open and entered the garden, followed by Isaac.


    Isaac closed the gates and noticed many Gods and Goddesses looking at them with shocked gazes. They didn''t dare to take one step closer to the building, and Isaac finally saw the street that went past the building beingpletely empty!


    Everyone skipped to another side of the street, trying to avoid going past the building with any means necessary.


    It wasn''t because of fear.


    Isaac saw a hint of respect and admiration in their eyes. Even longing and love.


    ''I wonder who is living here¡­''


    Simo stopped in the middle of the garden and saw an apple tree, but it was different from his.


    All the apples were in the color of gold!


    One of the apples was bitten in half.


    ''''Oh, I have guests?'''' Both Simo and Isaac turned toward the doorway. A backdoor of the enormous mansion was opened.


    From there, a man emerged. His face was inhumanly beautiful, with delicate eyebrows, eyshes, and a pointy nose. His facial qualities were soothing to the brim, and he was even more beautiful than Isaac!


    His captivating golden hair reached his nape, and his radiant blue eyes were like pair of stars!


    Once Isaac saw the name hovering above the man''s head, and felt his legs bing jelly.


    Simo smirked, ''''Long time no see¡­ Adam.''''


    [Adam - Mythical Figure]


    Adam smiled and shook hands with Simo, ''''Long time no see.''''


    ''The first man to ever exist!''

 Chapter 301 God Lllness.

    They got seated. Adam opened the first page of the newspaper and enjoyed a cup of smoking hot coffee.


    The newspaper was made by the Herald of Gods, Hermes. He traversed through every Realm and wrote every important thing down.


    The result was God''s Newspaper.


    Simo grabbed a scrap of paper from his front pocket. He began to read, his eyes skimming through the text.


    Isaac''s body was stiff as he kept ncing back and forth between two Mythical Figures. He felt like he didn''t belong in theirpany.


    Soonter, Adam ced the cup down and closed the newspaper.


    Simo slipped a scrap of paper back into his pocket.


    "Simo, why have youe here?" Adam asked


    "My Legacy Carrier was rather unlucky and was imprisoned." Simo nted his head toward Isaac.


    Adam''s eyes shifted to Isaac, "I see¡­ I don''t think we have introduced ourselves."


    He extended his hand and said, "My name is Adam."


    "Isaac," Isaac replied and shook his hand. He responded with his real name and not with his ingame name.


    "Hmm?" Adam pulled his hand back and nced at his hand, ''His¡­ Grip was quite weak, but there was something else too.''


    Simo nced at the white-haired youth and said, "Adam is rather simr to you."


    "Eh?" Isaac''s brows jumped.


    "Ah¡­" Adam was also surprised at Simo''sment, "Simr?"


    Simo nodded and continued, "Isaac also has difficulties increasing his strength."


    "I see¡­" Adam nodded, "Quite fascinating. I have met people who have problems with their strength, but no one simr to me."


    "Wait¡­ You also have problems bing strong?" Isaac was shocked. Because of the Mythical title, he considered Adam as one of the strongest beings alive.


    "Yea." Adam nodded, "However, that was rather early in my life."


    "Oh?" Isaac wanted to hear more.


    Simo leaned on the backrest and shifted his body to a morefortable position.


    Adam engraved on the table and drew a tree, "Once the world was on infant state, and only animals roamed the world. Primordial Gods and Goddesses told one, very specific God, to create life."


    He drew several apples on the tree and continued, "That God was residing somewhere¡­ Out of reach. Only Primordial Gods and Goddesses could contact him."


    "The World where God resided was rather strange. For some reason, the world was separated into four seasons. It was simr to World of White, but that world didn''t have different Realms, instead Continents."


    "Also, four Moons were hovering above therge sphere, overseeing the four different seasons. It felt like the world itself was created to be observed¡­"


    "The Primordial Gods and Goddesses met with the God and had a discussion thatsted for several centuries¡­ At the end of the talk, that world started changing."


    "The world had its first two-legged inhabitants¡­"


    Adam stopped for a moment and drew two figures on the table. One of them was a beautiful man, and the other was an exquisite female.


    "Adam and Eve were created."


    "They were made after the image of God and Primordial Goddess Gaia. Once the two first humans were created, God couldn''t intervene anymore. Creating one human was already an incredibly taxing task."


    "Only with the help of Primordials second human could be created."


    "Adam and Eve had one job. Popte the earth."


    Simo had heard the story before but was still listening to the story with great interest.


    Isaac barely breathed, afraid that he would skip a single word.


    Adam smiled and tugged up his sleeves, exposing his fragile arms, "However, God made one dire mistake."


    "He made them too strong and intelligent. He had to reverse it before the bnce of the Universe was broken."


    "However, that reversal had unexpected consequences."


    "Adam became weak. He was unable to increase his strength, no matter what he did."


    "Eve became sick. She started having an illness that resulted in her death¡­" His face showed misery.


    "Oh¡­ She is dead?" Isaac''s face disyed his pity.


    "No, she is probably making food," Simo said and pointed at one of the windows, where a beautiful woman''s rear could be seen. She was humming innocently while moving around the kitchen, making delicious food.


    Isaac''s face became emotionless.


    Simo shrugged, "Adam likes to be dramatic."


    Adam wiped his teardrops and continued, "That illness had its own name too¡­"


    Isaac leaned closer, anxious to hear what kind of illness could it be.


    "Winter Illness," Adam said. His face became apathetic as he recalled the dreadful symptoms.


    Isaac''s eyes shook, ''Winter¡­ Illness?!''


    "Also¡­ Adam not being able to improve his strength also had its own name."


    Adam opened his mouth, the words slowly slipping through his teeth, "God Illness."


    "God Illness¡­" Isaac murmured.


    "God Illness stopped him from growing stronger." Adam finished the drawing with onest line. An apple tree with hundreds of people standing underneath was drawn on the table.


    p! p!


    Simo pped and stood up, "Thanks for another interesting story session."


    "No problem." Adam chuckled and turned to look at Isaac, "Remember. As long you don''t have God Illness, you will get stronger."


    "And¡­ What if I do?" Isaac asked with his voice trembling.


    "Haha." Adamughed, "No need to worry. So far, I am the only one who had God Illness. Apparently, it isn''t possible to manifest anymore."


    Isaac sighed in relief. He shook hands with Adam and left the garden with Simo.


    While strolling in the streets, Isaac asked, "Who is stronger between you two?"


    Simo expected such a question from the youth, and he already had his answer ready, "If it is Close-Quarters, Adam will trash me."


    "Wha¡ª" Isaac was surprised at thatment, "Trash you, how is that possible?"


    Simo''s mouth curved into a smile, "You underestimate him. He might have acted like he was weak, but he is strong enough to fight against Zeus and not necessarily lose."


    Isaac''s mouth opened in utter shock.


    "However." Simo raised his finger and said with confidence, "I can defeat Adam with the help of Winter!"


    "With the help of winter¡­" Isaac murmured. He felt blessed to be in the presence of such powerful individuals and couldn''t even fathom bing half as strong as them.


    Simo patted his shoulder and said with certainty, "One day¡­ You will reach our level."

 Chapter 302 Layer Of Feasting (1)

    Isaac and Simo reached the Garden, where they were before visiting Adam.


    However, when Isaac stepped into the garden, he noticed his vision bing noticeably worse.


    ''''Eh?''''


    Thud!


    He fell down to his knees, and his vision became from bad to worse.


    ''''¡­'''' Simo halted his steps and saw Isaac rubbing his eyes.


    ''''W-What is happening?'''' Isaac looked around him but couldn''t see anything. His vision was utterly dark.


    Simo nced at Isaac''s legs, which were slowly turning into golden pixels.


    ''''You are being teleported away.'''' He said.


    ''''Eh, why?'''' Isaac asked. His eyes turned from gray to gold.


    ''''Your body can''t handle God Realm''s air. This is for your own good.'''' Simo circled around Isaac and noticed the golden particles spreading, ''''With this way, you won''t be injured.''''


    ''''Ah¡­'''' Isaac stopped struggling and let the golden particles wrap around him.


    Simo firmly patted his shoulder and said, ''''Remember what I said.''''


    Isaac nodded and glowed in radiant gold before disappearing from the Garden.


    ¡­


    Creak!


    Thump!


    ''''Ah!'''' Isaac''s body crashed onto a soft mattress, ''''I am back¡­''''


    The familiar ceiling, gasmp, and air made him confident of his current location. He slowly stood up and saw his rented room.


    ''''Ah right¡­ Why didn''t I spawn in my bed before?'''' Isaac wondered. Several times when he logged back in, he wasn''t spawned right on the bed but instead at different locations of the house.


    ''''Maybe the house is my spawn spot?'''' Isaac shrugged and thought it made sense. He opened his Interface and tapped on the [Log Out]


    His body morphed into light blue pixels.


    The room shone in brilliant colors. However, soon the light disappeared.


    ¡­


    ''''Yawn¡­'''' A long yawn escaped a white-haired youth''s mouth. Isaac slowly peeked through his heavy eyelids and saw the visor obscuring his vision.


    He took off the headgear and ced it back on the box. He went to the wardrobe, hid it under piles of clothes, and returned to his bed.


    He couldn''t bother to go back to forums or anywhere else.


    His eyelids became heavier with each passing second.


    Thump!


    His body copsed on the bed, and shortly afterward, Isaac drifted into a deep slumber.


    ¡­


    Sunday Morning.


    Isaac''s eyes groggily opened. The shimmer of light caused his eyes to squint.


    ''''Stupid light¡­'''' He covered his face with a pillow, and after rolling in the bed for half an hour, he summoned enough energy to stand up.


    He went to the bathroom, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and put new pair of clothes on.


    Isaac strode out of his room and went directly to the living room.


    In the living room, Sebastian was cleansing the shelves with a tufted brush. He heard the approaching footsteps ringing behind him.


    ''''Young master?'''' He already knew whose footsteps they were. He had been a butler for Madison and Malcolm for a long time and knew precisely what their footsteps sounded like.


    ''''Sebastian.'''' Isaac sat down on the couch and turned the TV on.


    He switched channels and stopped once a cooking show became visible.


    Sebastian nced at the screen and remembered one thing.


    He stopped his body midway and asked, ''''Would you like to visit Layer of Feasting?''''


    Isaac''s eyes sparkled, ''''Yes!''''


    Sebastian finished cleaning and said, ''''I will inform Master and Mistress.''''


    ''''Are they still asleep?'''' Isaac asked and saw Sebastian nodding.


    He hopped to his two feet and said, ''''No need to wake them up.''''


    Isaac grabbed a paper from the nearby shelf and acquired a pencil from a sideboard.


    The pencil danced on the paper as more words appeared. Once Isaac was finished writing, he ced the paper on the table and the pencil right next to it.


    Sebastian raised his eyebrow and saw Isaac showing an OK signal, ''''Let''s go!''''


    ''''Eh¡­ I think we should inform them.'''' Sebastian followed after Isaac, who had no intention of doing so.


    ''''Nah.'''' Isaac slipped his feet into the shoes and stormed out of the mansion.


    Sebastian pulled a napkin from his front pocket and wiped the beads of sweat. He nced upstairs and gulped, ''''I will be in trouble¡­ Oh, fuck it.''''


    He left through the front door and closed it after him.


    Isaac already waited next to Sebastian''s car. He was wearing only winter shoes and a jacket.


    The Brightstar was much warmer than Snowstar. Many could be seen wearing nothing but t-shirts and sweatpants in the streets.


    However, the snow was still not melting. The weather in Brightstar had always been a mystery.


    Sebastian took out the keys and pressed the button.


    nk!


    The doors opened, allowing Isaac to enter the car alongside Sebastian.


    The car soon left through the gates.


    Soon after they left, one of the windows in the mansion opened.


    Madison was still wearing her nightdress as she looked around the yard. She noticed tire marks leaving the yard.


    ''''Mmmh, Sebastian left to somewhere?'''' She massaged her forehead and wondered where their butler had left to.


    ''''Mmh?'''' Malcolm groggily opened his eyes. He sat up and moved the nket out of the way.


    His legs dangled over the edge of the bed as he waited for his vision to be clearer.


    Soon after, he noticed his wife, Madison, standing in front of a wide-open window. Her nightdress fluttering.


    ''''What are you doing?'''' Malcolm slowly stood up, while moving his stiff muscles around.


    His aging body wasn''t young anymore.


    ''''Sebastian left somewhere.'''' Madison said and closed the window, ''''I will call him soon.''''


    Malcolm nodded and rubbed his eyes. Soon, he opened his eyes and went to do his morning routines.


    After they were done with their usual routine, they went downstairs and noticed that their grandson was nowhere to be seen.


    ''''Isaac?'''' Madison raised her tone. However, she didn''t receive a reply.


    ''''Must be still sleeping,'''' Malcolm said and went to the kitchen to eat breakfast.


    Madison nodded thoughtfully. She went to the living room and saw the ledges had been cleansed.


    However, when she was about to turn around, she managed to see a glimpse of a scrap of paper.


    She grabbed the paper and read it aloud, ''''I will be going on Layer of Feasting with Sebastian, Cya!''''


    The piece of paper slipped from her hand.


    She covered her face and sank down on the couch, ''''He is just like Maxwell¡­ Troublemaker.''''

 Chapter 303 Layer Of Feasting (2)

    Sebastian rotated the steering wheel and entered a parking lot. The parking lot was surrounded by an active crowd of people moving on with their lives.


    On other sides of the parking lot, restaurants, food stalls, and all sorts of attractions were built for one purpose, to entertain the residents of Brightstar.


    Sebastian nced outside the window, trying to find a vacant parking spot, and soon found one. He gracefully turned the steering wheel, the car''s bumper almost grazing a nearby car.


    However, the car driven by Sebastian stayed unharmed. He shut down the engine once the vehicle was properly ced between two lines.


    The revving engine gradually calmed down.


    "We are here," Sebastian said while looking out of the window. The memories of his childhood surfaced in his mind. He couldn''t count the number of times he''d roamed around these streets.


    They exited the car and stopped to relish the sight. The number of passersby''s were frightening amount.


    The doors of the restaurant opened and closed. The customers entering with empty stomachs and exiting with full and satisfied looks.


    The alleyways were filled with food stalls, also filled with customers.


    The scent of food drifted through the air, pleasuring everyone''s nostrils.


    "Mmmh." Sebastian nodded with satisfaction, "I have missed this."


    Isaac looked at him and asked, "You seem to miss your home. Why did you never return to your roots?"


    "Do you miss your home?" Sebastian suddenly asked.


    Isaac nodded.


    "Would you go there if you could?"


    "Like¡­ Leave Brightstar?" Isaac asked, and Sebastian nodded.


    He shook his head, "I wouldn''t. I have enjoyed my stay so far and would like to see more, especially the Festival."


    "Festival¡­" Sebastian nodded, "It should be next weekend, and after that, you n to return?"


    Isaac nodded, "Yes."


    Sebastian nodded and answered the previous question, "I loved Layer of Feasting and the people I got to know¡­ But, expectations can be heavy, and sometimes, it bes too heavy."


    "I enjoy working for Master and Mistress." He continued, "It might not be the most enjoyable job in the eyes of many, but at least I am free from expectations."


    "I see¡­" Isaac started understanding what Sebastian meant.


    "Follow me. I have something to show you." Sebastian left the parking lot shortly afterward, followed by Isaac.


    After walking down the street for ten minutes, Sebastian stopped in front of a full restaurant. From the windows, everyone could see satisfied customers dining till their bellies were full.


    Every table was full of middle-aged, elderly, teenagers, and children.


    Sebastian raised his chin, took a deep look at the sign, and pushed the doors open.


    ''Why is he going there¡­ It''s full.'' Isaac looked around and was rather vulnerable in the streets. The citizens brushed past him, asionally colliding with him.


    Isaac hopped to the side and rushed inside the restaurant before getting run over by the people.


    He saw Sebastian talking with a receptionist, who was bowing respectfully.


    Sebastian turned halfway and motioned for Isaac toe.


    The receptionist nced at him and also gave a polite nod.


    Sebastian and Isaac walked past the receptionist and entered the dining hall.


    While walking past the crowded tables, they received raised eyebrows from customers; however, few of them noticed Sebastian and stopped eating.


    They were about to stand up, but Sebastian waved his hand, stopping them from doing so.


    Isaac looked around the beautiful dining hall and was mesmerized. While the other side of the dining hall was filled with windows that showed busy streets, the other side showed the kitchen!


    Arge portion of the wall was missing, allowing everyone to see Cooks making food and sending a whiff of delicious smelling food toward the dining hall.


    The wall was intentionally removed. It was rather unique from other restaurants, who prefer to not give Cooks extra pressure and allow them to work behind closed doors.


    However, the Chef and Cooks in the crowded restaurant were under intense pressure. While being watched by customers like animals in cages was a rather nerve-wracking experience.


    Swoosh.


    Sebastian opened double doors with one strong push and entered the steaming hot kitchen.


    Isaac quickly followed behind.


    "Hey, this ce is only for sta¡ª" An elderly man with a white double-breasted jacket, pants, and apron snapped toward two individuals who rudely interrupted their cooking; however, he soon recognized Sebastian.


    His words got stuck in his throat and had to take a step back out of shock.


    Sebastian patted his shoulder, waking him up from his stupor.


    "Long time no see," Sebastian said with a smile.


    "S-Sebastian!" The elderly man hugged Sebastian and patted him on the back.


    The rest of the Cooks stopped whatever they were doing and saw a handsome man with professional attire hugging their Chef.


    Soon, they realized who it was.


    "Sebastian!" Most of them cried out with pleasantly surprised faces.


    "Hello." Sebastian greeted everyone individually, shaking their hands.


    "W-Why have youe here?" The Chef took off his white hat and asked. He was pleasant at Sebastian''s visit. However, still curious about the reason.


    "I came to visit Layer of Feasting with my young master." Sebastian finally showed them Isaac, who was standing quietly in the corner.


    Isaac nodded at them and was almost hypnotized at the scent of the food.


    "Oh, young master¡­" The Chef was baffled. He remembered clear as day that Whitelock Family had only one young master, and he would be around 40s by now.


    "Sebastian!" A Cook with an apron appeared next to Sebastian with a bowl of soap, "Here, it is our new recipe. Please have a taste!"


    The Chef wanted to reprimand the Cook; however, he also wanted to know Sebastian''s thoughts.


    Sebastian ced the bowl on the kitchen desk and grabbed two spoons. He gave one of them to Isaac.


    Isaac dipped the spoon in the bowl and scooped the food before cing the spoon in his mouth.


    His taste buds instantly rang in pleasure. While the soup traversed through his throat, every moment was a pleasure.


    The soup had a mixture of tastes. At one time, he tasted a lemon, apple juice, and chicken. It was a rather unique experience.


    Sebastian also took a taste. However, his face didn''t show any expression.


    The Chef and Cooks were rather anxious. They stopped working altogether and waited with nervous heartbeats.


    The Customers also saw the scene, and many ceased dining to watch with curiosity.


    Soon, a voice rang in the kitchen, but it wasn''t Sebastian''s.


    Isaac raised his finger and said, "Uhh¡­ Maybe you should add more salt?"


    The Chef and Cook thought they had misheard. Add more salt? Their faces twitched, and they were about to share their cooking knowledge.


    But then, Sebastian also opened his mouth, "That''s right. Add more salt, a spoonful at most. It should give more spice in it."


    The Chef and Cooks were gobsmacked. Not even once had they seen Sebastian agreeing with someone when ites to cooking, and he agreed with a youth who was still wet behind his ears!

 Chapter 304 Layer Of Feasting (3)

    "Goodbye, Sir!" The Chefs and the rest of the Cooks bowed as Sebastian left the restaurant alongside Isaac.


    "Your taste buds must be sensitive to notice theck of salt." While roaming around the streets with Isaac, Sebastian said, "It isn''t easy to notice while eating delicious food."


    Isaac shrugged and had his response ready, "I just felt like it needed salt."


    Sebastian''s mouth curved into a smile. He didn''t say anything else.


    They continued strolling in the streets, appreciating the fragrance of food wafting over from nearby food stalls.


    "Hmm, what is happening over there?" Isaac pointed toward themotion. A crowd of people had gathered around a small open space.


    ''Food battle¡­'' Sebastian was familiar with how Layer of Feasting operated. Usually, if there was arge crowd gathering, it can only mean one thing.


    Food Battle!


    They joined the crowd and managed to see the reason for themotion.


    Two figures with a significant height difference were gathered around two stoves and tables.


    On top of the tables, cooking equipment was stacked up.


    Below the tables, food was ced in cooling bags, which kept the food secure.


    "Hmph!" A man in his 40s arrogantly raised his chin and puffed his chest. His short brown hair was barely obstructing the view of his face, which was rather handsome but also aggravating to look at.


    Everyone could tell that he thought of himself as a person abovemonfolk from the face alone.


    On the opposite side, a little girl with chubby cheeks, blue eyes, and ck hair styled in pigtails crossed her arms, trying to act tough.


    However, to the onlookers, it only appeared very cute.


    "Oh." Sebastian looked amused, "Interesting."


    "Eh, food battle?" Isaac was baffled, "Isn''t this unfair?"


    "What is?" Sebastian asked.


    "That man is so much older," Isaac said while moving to a better position to clearly see the food battle. Sebastian followed after him.


    Soon, they found a spot that gave them an unobstructed view.


    "And?" Sebastian looked at Isaac.


    "That little girl will obviously lose." Isaac said with certitude, "That man has thirty years more experience."


    Sebastian smiled and didn''t say anything.


    Tap Tap


    A man with a white double-breasted jacket, pants, and apron arrived next to the stoves. He lifted his arm and said, "Food Battle between Alyssa and Cole shall begin!"


    He lowered his arm. That was the cue for the food battle to begin.


    Cole grinned, seized all the cooking equipments he needed, threw them to the stoves, and turned them on.


    Ssh


    He poured water down till the cooking pots were half full. Once he had done that, he started cutting up the vegetables.


    In the eyes of the onlookers, the vegetables were sliced apart and piled on top of a cutting board. They couldn''t even see Cole using the knife.


    "Heh." Cole moved the vegetables to the nearby cooking pot and submerged them in the water.


    After the first part of his cooking was done, he nced at his opponent. The little girl was slowly cutting the vegetables. Her hand was rather unsteady.


    Cole almostughed. However, soon noticed that he had yet to do the second part of his recipe.


    The crowd whispered with each other.


    "Cole is indeed amazing. Did you see how swiftly he cut those vegetables?"


    "Yeah, he is indeed a man worthy of being second-in-line."


    "Yeah, at this rate, he will be a leading Chef of C-Rank Restaurant, Seventh Song!"


    Isaac''s perked up ears lowered as he heard everything he needed. But he wondered what the C-Rank was.


    "Sebastian, what did he mean by C-Rank?"


    "All restaurants in Layer of Feasting are ranked rather simply. From F to S."


    "Oh." Isaac nodded with understanding, "Is it any good?"


    Sebastian''s eyebrow twitched after seeing Cole''s way of filleting a fish.


    "C-Rank would be Top Restaurant in any other City."


    Isaac was surprised, "Wait¡­ Howe there are 3 ranks higher?"


    "Because C-Rank is merely average in Layer of Feasting." Sebastian couldn''t look at Cole anymore and switched his gaze to the little girl.


    His eyes showed undeniable shock before quickly fading away.


    "I see." Isaac felt like Brightstar was even more awesome than he thought, "What about the restaurant we visited?"


    "A-Rank," Sebastian said and kept a close eye on the little girl, who finished cutting the vegetables and pushed them to the cooking pots. Her movements seemed clumsy, but Sebastian was still speechless.


    "Wow." Isaac was amazed and wished he could have dined there.


    "However, when I was still there, it was S-Rank." Sebastian rubbed his neck. It was partially his fault that the restaurant lost its rank, and many med him.


    That Restaurant was at the top of Brightstar, loved by everyone, but then Sebastian decided to retire.


    After an hour, Isaac was already bing bored, but soon, two tes filled with food were ced on a nearby table.


    Cole''s te was beautifully decorated. The fish was still steaming in the middle of the te, and a delicious aroma was wafting through the air.


    The vegetables highlighted the fish, increasing the appeal of the food.


    The little girl''s decoration, however, was somewhatughable. The fish was cut into tiny pieces, while the vegetables were ced on another side of the te.


    "Alright!" The Referee looked around the crowd and shouted, "One from the crowd will have the pleasure of being the food taster!"


    The crowd became loud, everyone wanting to be the one. However, Isaac suddenly felt a hand touching his back and pushing him forward.


    His eyes widened in shock. As he looked behind him, he saw Sebastian smiling with a mischievous look.


    Isaac brushed past the crowd of people.


    The referee pointed at him and said, "You!"


    "Me?" Isaac pointed at himself and saw the referee nodding. Therge crowd looked with envy at the white-haired youth.


    He walked to the referee, who took a cooking book from the table and ced his hand on it.


    "Touch the book." He said.


    Isaac ced his hand next to the referee''s hand.


    "Do you swear that you will decide the winner based on the taste and nothing else?"


    "Uh, I do." Isaac nodded and watched as the referee ced the book back in his backpack.


    The referee nodded at Isaac, telling him to taste the food.

 Chapter 305 Layer Of Feasting (4)

    Everyone''s eyes were locked on Isaac and on his hand movements.


    Alyssa, the little girl, clumsily grabbed a fork and offered it to Isaac.


    "Thanks¡­" Isaac epted it and felt Cole''s intense gaze on his neck.


    Cole''s eyes showed coldness. He was no fool. He knew that many would take pity on the little girl and dere her as the winner.


    ''That must be her tactic¡­ Use cheap tricks, but you won''t win and have no choice but to return to your family as a disgrace!''


    The first food Isaac chose to taste was Cole''s. He cut a tiny piece of the fish and stuffed it inside his mouth.


    His mouth moved as he began chewing on the fish. Isaac''s face soon showed amazement, at least to the onlookers. It seemed like Isaac was enjoying the food like it was the best food he''d ever tasted before.


    Cole arrogantly raised his chin, ''Enjoy my food, you peasant. It will be thest time you have the pleasure of tasting it!''


    However, Sebastian smirked, ''You must have tasted it¡­ The mistake.''


    Isaac''s brows furrowed, unnoticed by everyone else, ''It''s delicious¡­ Very delicious, but there is something¡­ Missing, it is tasty but anti-climatic.''


    ''The initial vor was such an intense experience, but the rest was very anti-climatic¡­''


    Isaac moved from Cole''s te to Alyssa''s.


    The crowd observed with unsettling looks.


    Alyssa''s face demonstrated her concern.


    Isaac cut a piece from the fish and ced the food inside his mouth.


    The onlookers saw Isaac''s face being normal, without any changes. They felt disappointed because they thought that maybe the little girl managed to surprise everyone.


    "Hah¡­" Coleughed and had already started packing.


    Alyssa locked her fingers and started praying for every God and Goddesses she knew of.


    Sebastian pushed past the crowd and stopped once taking his first steps out of the mass of people.


    Isaac ced the fork back on the table and took a long sigh.


    The onlookers thought that it was a sigh of disappointment. After tasting Cole''s delicious food, he had to taste mediocre food from the little girl.


    "Wow¡­" An unexpected sound came from Isaac''s mouth, "That was¡­ How¡­"


    "Young man." The Referee appeared next to him and asked, "Whose food was better?"


    Cole had already put everything inside his bag and was ready to leave.


    However, then Isaac opened his mouth, "It was definitely¡­ The little girl''s."


    "WHAT?!" Cole spun around as he shrieked with outrage.


    The Referee''s brows furrowed, however, saw no indications of lying in Isaac''s features, instead astonishment. Like he still hadn''t gotten over the food he had just tasted.


    The crowd started whispering with each other. Everyone thought that Isaac chose the little girl''s food out of pity.


    "Y-YOU FUCKING LIAR!" Cole grabbed Isaac from his cor and raised his arm, ready to p.


    However, a taller man appeared behind him and grabbed his wrist, "Who is?"


    "LET GO OF ME!" Cole turned around with rage filling his insides. However, soon his red face started varying shades.


    Sebastian looked down at him with a cold gaze.


    The crowd of people was shocked at Cole about to attack the youth. However, the next part was far more shocking!


    All of them recognized the handsome man.


    "I-It''s King of Recipes!"


    "I-I thought he had left?!"


    "He is back!"


    "K-K-King¡­" Cole''s body shook, and the grip on his wrist seemed far stronger than only a second ago.


    Sebastian let go of his wrist and went to the two dishes. He grabbed a fork and tasted both foods.


    Alyssa was still waiting with worry, hoping that Isaac''s choice wasn''t incorrect.


    Once he finished tasting, Sebastian nodded, "Yeah, the little girl is the winner. The taste is well-bnced and generally a great experience."


    He turned to look at Cole, who looked like his world was turned upside down.


    "Your food was better at first." Sebastian shook his head, "Explosive vor right from the bat, but it was too explosive. The more I ate, the worse it tasted."


    "A-Ah¡­" Cole slumped down on the ground with color draining from his face.


    The Referee bowed politely toward Sebastian and shouted, "Winner is Alyssa!"


    "Yay!" Alyssa cheered and ran toward her parents, who were already waiting for her. Their faces showing pride.


    "Let''s go," Sebastian said and left, the crowd of people stepping to the side, allowing him to leave.


    Isaac followed behind and entered another active part of the City.


    Sebastian was still thinking about the food battle. He couldn''t wrap his head around the things he witnessed.


    The little girl was clumsy yet amazing. Her food-making skills could allow her to work in B-Rank Restaurant.


    A rare talent, but not unseen.


    "Hmm?" While roaming the streets, Isaac saw a store that wasn''t a restaurant or food-rted.


    [World''s Strike]


    "Sebastian, what is that?"


    Sebastian''s feet halted as his gaze turned to the store. His brows furrowed, and even he wasn''t sure.


    "Not sure. Should we go check?"


    Isaac nodded and waited for the cars to clear up before hopping to the other side of the street.


    They entered the store and saw a crowd gathered. Their first thought was that another Food Battle was happening.


    However, Sebastian sniffed the air and couldn''t smell the scent of food.


    Sebastian managed to see over them and saw a man wearing a VR Helmet. He was standing, and in front of him was a screen that showed someone swinging a sword and killing faceless puppets.


    Isaac had difficulties seeing past the crowd and had to wriggle his way through. With difficulty, he reached the front of the crowd and saw the man wearing the VR Helmet.


    ''What is this¡­'' Isaac felt a person next to him fidgeting around. Soon, the person next to him changed to Sebastian, who managed to push through the crowd.


    "Hmm, is this White Online?" Sebastian asked.


    "Yes¡­ It is." Isaac recognized the game. However, he couldn''t understand why would someone y it here.


    Soon, he noticed that what he initially thought might have been wrong. Next to therge screen was a high score ranking.


    After the man exterminated a puppet, the score kept increasing.


    ''It is an arcade version of White Online!''

 Chapter 306 World’s Strike (1)

    80000¡­


    81000¡­


    82000¡­


    [YOU ARE DEAD!]


    The Swordsman on the screen was overwhelmed by the endless wave of puppets. The screen became red, and hallow text covered half of it.


    [GAME OVER!]


    The standing man flinched and fluttered his eyes open. He needed a second to recover hisposure before taking off the VR Helmet.


    After taking it off, his glorious blond hair fluttered behind him, and coupled with his handsome face, not many could stop admiring.


    ''''Yeah!'''' He lifted his arm and let out a shout of celebration. The leaderboard changed, and the name of LoneSamurai appeared on the top.


    [1. LoneSamurai - 82000]


    p! p!


    The crowd started pping, their palms soon turning red. The man who went by the name of LoneSamurai appreciated the ps and lowered his body to do a bow.


    At the corner of the building, a bushy-browed youth carried a camera. He adjusted the angle until the camera captured both LoneSamurai and the cheering crowd.


    The Livestream chat was bustling with activity. Endless rows of texts appeared and went by. The youth grinned after seeing the number of subscriptions and donations.


    ''He will be pleased.'' The youth thought to himself while ncing at the handsome LoneSamurai,


    ''''Everyone!'''' LoneSamurai''s voice silenced the crowd, ''''Food and drinks are on me!''''


    The crowd had to register his words before raising the volume of their voices.


    ''''Yeah!''''


    LoneSamurai led the way as the crowd, the youth holding the camera, and himself left the building. They went straight to the restaurant on the opposite side of the street.


    ''''That guy sure likes theatrics,'''' Sebastianmented. The arcade became empty, and Isaac and Sebastian were the only ones still left.


    Isaac stopped in front of the VR Helmet, sitting on top of a small square-shaped table connected with some kind of charging port.


    ''''Isaac, you are nning to give it a try?'''' The handsome butler asked. His lips almost spoke the title of a young master. Then, he remembered Isaac''s stern voice, which told him to call him by his real name.


    He certainly needed time to get used to it.


    ''''Yes.'''' With a rtively simple word, he answered. He removed the VR Helmet from the charging port. There were still wires connected to it.


    The wires were connected to therge screen and the leaderboard. Isaac rather clumsily put the VR Helmet on his head.


    ''''Mmh, it''s too big,'''' Isaacmented after putting it on. His head was rather awkwardly shaking inside the Helmet, and his neck had almost no support.


    Ding! Ding!


    Once the VR Helmet registered that someone was currently using it. Notifications followed the loud ding ding noises.


    Isaac shifted his gaze to therge screen. Therge screen showed a holographic keyboard and a way to register his name on leaderboards.


    He extended his arm and grazed the holographic buttons with his delicate fingers.


    [Name: Wraith]


    [Age: 18]


    [upation: None]


    After pressing ept, the screen shifted and shuffled.


    Sebastian stopped next to Isaac and barely saw glimpses of his face. However, soon, Isaac''s eyes underneath the visor became emotionless.


    His chest stopped moving, his cold fingers halted, and the conscious started moving from another ce to another.


    ¡­


    Isaac''s consciousness appeared in the middle of a small clearing, surrounded by dense forest. He felt the hilt of a cold weapon in his hands and a heavy armory hugging his body.


    His eyelids fluttered open. Isaac moved his head around, trying to understand the way his body moved. It was somewhat different from what he had used to.


    His body felt heavy like he was trying to drag a mountain behind. Isaac''s vessels protruded as he tried to lift the sword over his head.


    However, couldn''t manage to do so. The sword''s heavy tip bnced the weight in the way that the sword went downward and not up.


    Thud!


    The sword cut through the soil like a knife slicing through molten butter.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and tried to lift the sword. However, only felt his bones crackling as the sword trembled.


    ''''Interface.'''' After getting frustrated at hisck of strength, he tried another method.

    ''''Hmm, I see.'''' Isaac understood what he had to do, ''''I need to assign the stats again. This makes me remember the first time I assigned my stats¡­''''


    He also remembered the colddy he met, ''''I wonder how she is doing¡­ She was rather cold and got angry easily.''''


    After getting rid of the useless thought, Isaac began to assign the stats.


    [STR: 0 -> 30]

    ''''Done¡­ What now?'''' Once he was done. Isaac closed the holographic screen and focused on the task in front of him.


    The forest was rtively quiet. The wind moved the leaves and strands of grass.


    Isaac couldn''t see further than five trees. After that, it was unknown to him what was hiding there.


    Crack¡­


    Isaac spun around, the sword barely lifted from the ground. The strength stat allowed him to lift the sword, but not by a lot.


    ''''I swear I heard a twig breaking¡­'''' Isaac murmured. The forest wasn''t dark or bright. Instead barely visible.


    He could see clearly around fifty meters around him. Then, it became rather difficult to see what was behind it.


    Crack!


    This time, the twig was intentionally broken in half. Like someone took one into their hands and amplified the strength of the sound as much as possible.


    Isaac moved his body around. Facing the direction where the sound came from.


    The sword was in front of him, the tip pointing at the ground and his veins bulging.


    Tap!


    From behind, footsteps left the forest. Isaac spun around and used the same velocity to sh with the sword!


    With no sign of life, a faceless puppet was clumsily making his way forward. He was holding a rusty dagger.


    Swoosh!


    Crack!


    The sword sliced through the puppet. Layers andyers of endless wires and metal pieces were cut apart. The puppet''s glowing red eyes dimmed down significantly.


    [You Killed Stage 1 Puppet!]


    [STAGE 1 BEGINS!]


    [STAGE 1 - SWORDSMAN]

 Chapter 307 World’s Strike (2)

    A shimmer of sunlight peeked through the open door. With arge screen emitting blue light, the dimly-lit building became brighter.


    Motionless, Isaac was looking straight at the screen. The neck support was nonexistent, and neck pain was almost inevitable.


    ''''Where it is¡­'''' Sebastian was wandering around the arcade. For some reason, the shopkeepers and workers had disappeared. He could only bet where they went to.


    The restaurant on the opposite side of the street was bustling. Arge party was ongoing, and many were wearing uniforms. Some had a logo of World Strike on them.


    Sebastian shook his head at their unprofessionalism. The building being empty also gave Sebastian more freeway to search thoroughly. He rummaged through cabs, cupboards, and shelves until finally, he found what he was looking for.


    A piece of fabric. A thin, soft, and small enough to fit inside a tight space. Sebastian went back to Isaac, carefully moving the Helmet, trying to be as careful as possible.


    He didn''t want the wires to disconnect and wanted Isaac''s body to stay unharmed.


    Once there was a tiny gap between Isaac''s head and the Helmet. Sebastian stuffed the piece of fabric inside, moving it to the neck area.


    The neck area was very loose, making Isaac''s head bounce around. The store didn''t seem to have a smaller Helmet, which was a wed business move by the management of World''s Strike.


    The bouncing was significantly reduced once the fabric was ced between the back of Isaac''s head and the Helmet.


    He shifted his gaze back to the screen. The second stage was about to begin.


    ¡­


    Isaac crouched beside the destroyed puppet. The wires, at first nce, weren''t connected anywhere. They seemed to lead to the head. However, the head was empty.


    He shook his head and hopped to his two feet. The heavy sword was taking a big toll on him. Beads of sweat were emerging from his pores, making his skin glow.


    Swoosh!


    From the forest, a puppet emerged with a rusty dagger. His limbs rocked around him, almost killing him several times.


    Screech!


    Isaac dragged the long sword behind him. Once the puppet was near enough, Isaac uttered all the strength to spin the de.


    At first, the sword started spinning slowly. Until the momentum kicked in and became a small tornado.


    Except, this tornado would kill from a single scratch.


    The puppet had no idea what danger meant. He ran blindly and was attacked by the iing tornado.


    ''''RAH!'''' Isaac''s powerful shout was a cue to send a final strike. The momentum reached its peak.


    CRACK!


    Pieces of broken puppet flew around, brushing past Isaac''s head and body. He, however, couldn''t even feel the sword contacting. The sword''s momentum was strong enough to destroy everything on its path.


    Isaac stopped spinning slowly. Once his body stopped spinning, the swordnded on the ground.


    The handle had visible hand marks. Isaac''s palms were red, skin about to rupture.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' Isaac sat beside the long sword. However, his resting time came to an end.


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Swoosh!


    Endless waves of puppets ran out of the forests. They wielded familiar rusty daggers that barely had enough strength to cut through a piece of steak, let alone a human body!


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Isaac grabbed the handle. He stood up slowly. The sword was still lying on the ground.


    He moved his second hand and tried to lift the sword with the help of his both arms. His hidden muscles emerged, blood vessels protruded, and thick veins popped up.


    ''''Haaah!'''' The sword slowly lifted up. The endless waves of puppets had a not-so-pleasurable meeting once they reached Isaac.


    Instead, they had to greet the long sword, who didn''t return the greeting and cut straight through their frail bodies.


    With a single strike, half-corpses of the puppets flew across the air. The other half of their corpses stayed on the ground.


    Isaac''s feet left the ground as he spun around with the help of the sword''s velocity. His hands slowly separated from the handle.


    The rogue sword flew across the air, cutting through the puppets and near trees.


    Bam!


    Rtively early, the sword faced a tough obstacle in the form of a small hill. The sword crashed with the formidable hill. The momentum died, and the de cracked.


    However, the sword left behind dozens of corpses. The radiant, glowing eyes flickered before dying down.


    ''''Huff¡­ Huff¡­'''' Isaac straightened his back. He stood in the middle of broken pieces of puppets. He was the victor, and everyone who would have witnessed the match would been amazed.


    There was indeed someone who witnessed the whole thing.


    ¡­


    Sebastian''s eyes shook. Not very often would he feel amazed or shocked. He thought several times that Isaac would die.


    ''He can''t possibly survive.''


    ''He is surrounded¡­ This is the end.''


    ''How did he survive?''


    ''Wha¡ª How did he do that?''


    Thoughts riddled his mind. Sebastian was more than amazed at Isaac''s survival capabilities.


    He wasn''t amazed at hisbat ability but his tenacity and way of surviving difficult situations.


    In his eyes, those were far more valuable than merebat ability. The strong could keep fighting as long as they wanted, but when theye across a far mightier person than them, their strength would mean nothing without proper survival ability.


    The leaderboard shed, and a yer who goes by the name of Wraith started climbing ranks slowly.

    [SP: 22]


    ¡­


    ''''Interface.'''' A light blue holographic screen emerged from thin air. Everything at first nce was as same as before.


    Except, Stat Points.


    Isaac quickly assigned the stats. He didn''t stop to think. He already knew what wascking.

    Isaac nodded and closed the Interface. He cracked his knuckles and started strolling toward the long sword. He needed his weapon before the next stage began.


    However, his feet halted almost instantly.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Stage 2 Commences!]


    [Stage 2 - Spellcaster!]


    The long sword faded away. Grayish light particles floated away.


    Isaac''s clothing changed from heavy armor to more casual. The feeling of heaviness disappeared.


    Crimson-colored robes tightly hugged Isaac''s body. A long walking cane manifested in his hand. The walking stick was in the color red with a tiny globe at the tip.


    A fire flickered inside the globe, increasing the warmth around Isaac. It felt like he was standing next to a firece.

 Chapter 308 World’s Strike (3)

    ''''Spellcaster¡­'''' Isaac''s mouth curved upwards. He had always wanted to test other sses.


    The Swordsman didn''t interest him, but Spellcaster was whole another deal. Beside other Shooter sses, Spellcaster was the one he wanted to test most.


    Swoosh!


    A puppet left the forest. The puppet was noticeably different. The rusty dagger had vanished, reced by an iron dagger.


    The puppet''s body was covered by a hallow armor. It was worse than iron armor but was better than nothing at all.


    Isaac spun the cane around and pointed it at the puppet. However, he wasn''t sure what to do. The fire kept flickering like it was telling Isaac what to do.


    But, it would be crazy to think that he could understand what fire was telling. Isaac now understood his plight. Without knowing how to cast spells would be almost impossible to survive!


    The puppet raised the dagger over his head. After reaching optimal striking distance, he swung it down. The arm was extended forward.


    The strike seemed weak and pitiful. But, the dagger was sharp enough to kill Isaac in his current state!


    Isaac took a step back, narrowly dodging the strike. The puppet staggered forward, the dagger almost touching the ground.


    ''''Well¡­ Fuck it!''''


    Bam!


    Isaac began to smack the head of the puppet. Without knowing how to cast spells, he had one choice¡ª do it the good old way.


    Smack the living shit out of the puppet.


    The cane struck the puppet in the face, slowly killing it!


    Soon, the radiant glow in his eyes disappeared. Isaac did one final smack in the head.


    Crash!


    The globe went through the face and made a sizeable dent on the back of the skull.


    [You Killed Stage 2 Puppet!]


    [STAGE 2 BEGINS!]


    [Stage 2 - Spellcaster]


    ''''I can''t survive like this¡­'''' Isaac smacked himself on the head. Trying to get his mind running. He remembered reading about Spellcasters, but there seemed to be some kind of void inside his mind.


    A void that stopped one specific thought from surfacing into his mind.


    ''''Wait¡­'''' Isaac''s thoughts cleared. He remembered one very particr, ck-haired girl, who was Spellcaster.


    ''''Right¡­ Luna.'''' He remembered the names of her spells, and she didn''t seem to do anything special.


    Chant the spell. Point the cane at the opponent. The attack follows.


    Isaac spun around and saw waves of puppets exiting the forest. They all wielded iron daggers.


    The puppets felt much more menacing than an only moment ago. The rusty daggers could barely be called a threat. However, iron daggers were a whole different story.


    ''''Let''s do it.'''' Seeing the puppets nearing made Isaac hurry with his chanting. He pointed the cane in front and started chanting.


    ''''Earth Wall!''''


    The chant was rtively short. Two short and direct words.


    Isaac''s eyelids fluttered as he anxiously waited for something to happen. Soon, he figured out that nothing was going to happen.


    He expected a tall earth wall to emerge from the ground. But instead, he received disappointment.


    His next thought was to run away. However, when he spun around to face the forest, his sleeves fluttered in front of him.


    The red color was screaming to be looked at. Isaac''s eyes soon shook until a face of realization emerged.


    ''''That''s right!'''' Isaac pointed the cane toward the puppets, ''''How could I forget¡­ Spellcaster attributes are determined by the color of their robes!''''


    ''''Luna had multi-colored, which meant she had multiple attributes.


    ''''No wonder Spellcaster ss is called a Lottery, because more colors on their robes, more attributes they can wield.''''


    ''''Mine is red¡­ This means¡­'''' Isaac grinned, and the flickering fire became a zing inferno!


    ''''FIRE BALL!''''


    Crackle!


    SWOOSH!


    A fireball emerged out of thin air. The zing hot fire burned nearby grass into crisps.


    The puppets couldn''t sense any danger from the fireball and foolishly attacked it.


    Then, Isaac swung the cane around, sending the fireball flying.


    The puppets burnt to the crisps as the fireball flew near them or over them. More and more puppets kept getting destroyed. They couldn''t fight back.


    Soon, the fireball had flown across the open clearing and reached the forest. Then, a wildfire ensued.


    The fireball exploded into a fiery inferno, burning everything to crisps alongside the puppets about to emerge from the forest.


    Isaac wiped his sweat and felt likeughing. However, that could be seen in the wrong light. He was still aware that Sebastian was watching him, and maybe the others had already returned from the restaurant.

    Sebastian pped his hands. Amazed at the disy of strength his young master was showing.


    He turned his body midway, just enough to see the party ongoing in the nearby restaurant.


    The crowd, who witnessed LoneSamurai ying, enjoyed the delicious food and drinks.


    LoneSamurai was talking with his friend, who was holding the camera. He seemed to be talking with the youth. However, the youth never responded.


    To many onlookers, it would seem like that, but LoneSamurai was often ncing at the chat shown on his phone.


    Very often, his mouth curved upward into a disgusting smirk.


    While they were enjoying the food and drinks. They had no idea that the LoneSamurai''s record wasn''t far from being broken.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Sebastian snorted and shifted his gaze to the leaderboard. Wraith''s name was climbing up rather slowly. But, not many hadpleted the third stage.


    And no one hadpleted the final, fourth stage!


    ''''You can do it¡­'''' He murmured. After ncing at LoneSamurai''s name at the top of the leaderboard, he felt irritated.


    He would love to see his face when he wasn''t at the top anymore.


    ¡­


    Ding! Ding!


    [Stage 3 Commences!]


    [Stage 3 - Gunner!]


    ''''Gunner?'''' Once again, Isaac''s clothes changed. The crimson robes disappeared, reced by a rather ordinary leather jacket, pants, and shoes.


    A vest was draped over the jacket, and two pistol-like guns were hanging from his hips. Next to the guns were also pouches that contained the magazines.

 Chapter 309 World’s Strike (4)

    Isaac pulled the guns away from their holsters. He held them beside his waistline. The magazines already ced on them.


    His fingers grazed the trigger. His palms became sweaty.


    Crack!


    The third wave of the puppetsmenced. The first puppet that appeared had a proper sword this time around. An appropriate armor of leather surrounded the puppet''s frail body.


    Isaac extended his arms. The guns stood in front of him, ready to be fired.


    "Goodbye!"


    BRRRR!


    However, when he squeezed both of the triggers. The guns trembled in his hands as bullets left the chamber rapidly. He wasn''t expecting this. He thought there was only one shot in the chamber, but the pistols were automatic!


    The magazines were quickly dried up. Isaac fell to the ground with his fingers still pressed on the triggers.


    BRRRR!


    The two guns wreaked havoc around him. Soon, the magazines were empty.


    "Haaahhh¡­ Haahh¡­" Cold sweat drenched his back. Isaac slowly stood up to look at the destruction around him.


    The puppet was riddled with bullet holes. However, he wasn''t the only one. After the fireball, the surrounding forest was already in bad condition, but now it was utterly destroyed!


    Gulp!


    His Adam''s apple trembled as he gulped a dry hum. Isaac nced at the smoking barrels and felt rather lucky that he didn''t kill himself.


    He looked at the cooldown count with the same nce, and it was not a pleasant sight.


    "30 seconds¡­" Isaac could already hear the puppets emerging from the forest. He had to somehow survive thirty seconds.


    Crack!


    The Puppets left the forest. Isaac took a quick count and counted till thirty before the number of puppets became overwhelming.


    "Fuck!" Isaac looked around and only found salvation from the destroyed forest. He could try to run away till the cooldown reached zero.


    He turned around and headed toward the forward. Then, his body collided with something.


    His face smashed with an invisible wall that stopped him from moving further. The forest was only one step away, but that distance was impossible to cross.


    "No!" He pped the invisible wall but only hurt himself.


    The first few puppets had already reached Isaac. They swung their swords horizontally. The Puppets had also be much smarter after each stage passed.


    They thought that shing horizontally was better, and it indeed was. Their attack radius was much broader.


    Isaac took a boost from the invisible wall and leaped over the puppets.


    His feetnded on the ground. The Puppets behind him spun around and shed. However, Isaac swept their legs under them.


    He quickly snatched a sword from one of them and deflected the iing des. The sparks flew as Isaac retreated but also kept parrying the swords.


    The cooldown rapidly decreased, and soon, it reached 0.


    [Cooldown is over!]


    That was his cue. Isaac grabbed the hilt of his sword tighter and threw it at the nearby puppet.


    The sword smashed through the puppet''s face; however, didn''t die, instead kept moving forth!


    Isaac pulled two magazines from his pouch swiftly. He connected them with the two pistols and lifted his arms with the guns perfectly ced in his hands.


    "Goodbye." This time, Isaac firmly rooted his feet into the ground. Once he felt confident, he pulled the triggers and unleashed a rain of bullets.


    BRRRRR!


    The Puppets were instantly riddled with bullet holes. Most of them died from a single bullet, while few managed to survive longer before shutting down after their internalponents broke apart.


    "Whoo¡­" Isaac slipped the guns back into their holsters. The scene in front of him was absolute carnage.


    ¡­


    Ding! Ding!


    [Stage 3 over!]

    "Yes!" Sebastian covered his mouth after an unexpected shout. He felt rather strange about himself. Rarely he had lost control of his emotions, but now he couldn''t help it.


    At first, he thought it was over. Anyone with a sane mind would think like that. Isaac was down, beaten, with no weapons avable, but still survived and won!


    Wraith''s name on the leaderboard had a massive boost. From the bottom of the leaderboard, all the way to the top!


    However, one name was still ahead.


    LoneSamurai.


    However, Sebastian wasn''t worried. His mouth had an obvious smirk. He was confident that the name on top would be soon changed.


    ¡­


    Ding! Ding!


    [Stage 4 Commences!]


    [Stage 4 - Marksman!]


    [FINAL STAGE - BONUS POINTS]


    "Marksman!" Isaac couldn''t suppress his smile. Theughter seeped through the corner of his mouth. How lucky was he?!


    He couldn''t believe it. The final stage could be impossible and would definitely be impossible if Isaac had to use any other ss.


    But, Marksman was HIS ss. He was more familiar with it than anybody else!


    ¡­


    "Marksman, shit!" Even though haven''t yed White Online yet, Sebastian knew about the horrible reputation of the Marksman ss.


    Widely recognized as the worst ss.


    "Shit¡­ How unlucky." The hopes of reaching the top of the leaderboard were slipping away. However, Sebastian still believed. There was a strange feeling sprouting inside him. Even though there was a voice of reasoning in him that told Isaac won''t survive. Another voice told him everything would be fine.


    "Malcolm said that Isaac was an excellent shooter¡­" Sebastian murmured. He remembered the conversation he hadst night with Malcolm over the phone.


    Malcolm was too stubborn to praise Isaac when he was present in the room. But, while talking on the phone, he unleashed the lingering pride hidden in him.


    He was very proud of what he witnessed while hunting. Isaac was, no doubt, his grandson.


    While Maxwell didn''t get the hunter genes, Isaac did!


    Malcolm''s father was a hunter, and his father was before him. That was passed onto him. He wanted to continue the legacy and teach Maxwell. However, he had no talent!


    Malcolm felt depressed, thinking about the possibility of their hunting legacy disappearing, which had passed to hundreds of generations!


    Was it destined to end within his generation?


    He couldn''t allow that!


    A ray of hope had finally appeared.


    Sebastian lowered his arms. His heart was racing, but he calmed it down by holding his chest.


    "That''s right¡­ No one should underestimate the will of Whitelock¡­ After all, their predecessor thousands of years ago was someone who was buried in the annals of history but will never be forgotten¡­ After all, Legends will never be forgotten."


    "Maybe¡­ That Legend will make his appearance sooner orter¡­"

 Chapter 310 World’s Strike (5)

    Sudden weight appeared on Isaac''s hands. When he dropped his gaze, he saw a musket rifle. The musket rifle was in the color of brown with a sharp and thin de next to the barrel.


    "Musket¡­" Isaac moved the gun around. Examining it thoroughly. There weren''t significant disparities between the current musket rifle and his previous one.


    nk!


    He opened the chamber and saw five shells. Isaac lowered his gaze and saw leather pouches still dangling from his hips. Isaac also noticed that his clothes hadn''t changed.


    Except, the magazines and gun holsters had disappeared. The leather pouch was packed with bullets.


    Clink!


    Isaac opened the straps and threw the leather pouch to the ground. He bent down and rummaged through the bag. He grabbed a handful of bullets and pocketed them.


    The vest''s pockets were soon full. The pouch was still half-full. However, Isaac tied theces and threw the bag away.


    The pouch went through the invisible wall andnded in the forest. Isaac moved his limbs around and felt much lighter than a moment ago.


    The weight of the pouch made his bnce somewhat unsteady. Isaac decided to only take a handful of bullets. He doubted that he would need that many bullets.


    After all, he also had another weapon at his disposal. The thin de shone once the sun grazed it.


    Crack!


    Isaac turned around and saw the first puppet of the fourth and final wave. The puppet was wearing heavy iron armor and a long steel sword.


    The puppet''s movements were sharp and fast. The limbs didn''t move randomly, instead were very calcted to increase his speed.


    His hand was grabbing the handle of the sword sheathed in a scabbard.


    Isaac spun the gun around and touched the ground with his knee. The stock rested on his shoulder, and his left hand held the gun from beneath.


    The right hand''s index finger was grazing the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet left the barrel explosively. With a long trail of smoke, the shell flew across the air andnded on the puppet''s head.


    The puppet wobbled forward before falling head first on the musky ground.


    "Whew." Isaac removed his finger from the trigger and stood up.


    [You Killed Stage 4 Puppet!]


    [STAGE 4 BEGINS!]


    [Stage 4 - Marksman]


    From the forest, puppets emerged. They all had simrities with the first puppet, iron swords, and heavy armory.


    However, there were few puppets without armory, but bows and quiver''s attached to their backs.


    CRACK!


    One of the hills cracked apart. It was the hill where the sword hadnded previously!


    From the cracks of the hill, a hand slowly emerged before the whole hill was sted into fragments!


    Easily the tallest puppet appeared. He had full iron armor with a long steel sword and shield. His head was covered by a helmet.


    At first nce, it would seem like he didn''t have any weaknesses!


    "What¡­ The¡­ Hell?" Isaac''s eyebrows jumped. The earth shook after the Knight took his first steps.


    The Puppets left the forest with their iron armors rattling with each movement.


    Rattle!


    Rattle!


    Rattle!


    Isaac''s gaze was shifted from the Knight to the wave of puppets. He removed his finger from the trigger. He grinned out of nowhere, and his face had an ethereal-like glow.


    His white hair fluttered behind him as he leaped across the air!


    The Puppets slowed their pace. They were rather surprised at the white-haired youth''s choice. It seemed inly obvious that a Marksman should fight the long-ranged battle. However, the white-haired youth wasing straight toward them!


    Isaded right in the middle of the crowd of puppets. They all unsheathed their swords and shed!


    Seeing the des approaching him, Isaac''s face had no reaction. His face was calm and confident. He altered the grasp on his gun and swung it around!


    The thin de shredded through the puppet''s throats. Over a dozen heads were detached from necks.


    Isaac stood in the middle of the dead puppets. However, he couldn''t rx as more puppets emerged from the forest.


    All of them had a sole goal, kill the white-haired youth!


    Behind the puppets, three puppets pulled an arrow from their quivers. Once ced on the bowstring, they removed their hands and watched as the arrows flew across the air.


    Isaac stepped to the side. Three arrows brushed past his face andnded on the ground.


    He bent down. His legs trembled as he jumped!


    The Puppets raised their heads and saw a blur of white going past them.


    Isaded next to the Archers. The grip on his gun changed, and the thin de shone as another three heads were severed.


    The Archers died.


    Behind him, a puppet raised his sword over his head and swung it down!


    Isaac raised his right leg and smashed it behind him. His foot was contacted with a solid chest te. The puppet that got kicked wobbled back with a footprint on the chest.


    "Haah!" He jumped over the puppets. While doing so, he shed and killed another dozen puppets.


    Once his foot touched the ground, his body froze. Isaac felt like he''d taken a quick dip in an ice-cold bath.


    Crack!


    From the broken forest, the Knight emerged. Without Isaac realizing it, he had already killed every puppet except the biggest one.


    Isaac turned around and squeezed the trigger!


    Bang!


    The Knight moved the shield in front.


    nk!


    The bullet ricocheted away after grazing the iron shield.


    "Damn¡­ This ain''t good." Isaac had to admit. The Knight''s strength was way above his. The feeling alone he emitted was forcing him to bend down.


    "F*ck¡­" He retreated for now. The Knight was still moving forth. The iron armor rattled and nged.


    nk!


    With his thumb, he opened the chamber and took a quick look inside. Four bullets remained.


    "Four¡­" When he looked at the Knight. There were no weak spots, and his bullets weren''t strong enough to prate the armor. The four bullets seemed useless.


    "Think¡­ Think¡­" When Isaac closed his eyes. He heard the sound of metal shoesnding on the ground. The sound of armor rattling. The wind brushing past him.


    His eyes fluttered open. The zing sun made him squint his eyes. Then, he noticed something that he had missed.


    He noticed two radiant, glowing eyes gazing at him. The helmet covered every spot of the Knight''s head, except the eyes!


    The eyeholes were narrowly big enough to fit a small object through¡­


    "Is my precision good enough¡­" Isaac bit his lip. He doesn''t know what level his precision was. The stats didn''t show.


    Then, memories of the hunting trip surfaced in his mind. He used his own skill, not some external ways of improving his aim.


    ''Why am I hesitating?'' His trembling arms slowly lifted the gun. The barrel aiming straight at the helmet.


    The Knight began moving his shield in the way. Everything became slow.


    Isaac''s eyes slowly closed and opened. The strands of hair moved slowly.


    His index finger closed on the trigger. Soon, the trigger started moving back.


    BANG!


    The Knight''s radiant red eyes shook. He witnessed as the bullet flew straight toward his face. He tried to move his head around. Then, he noticed that he won''t make it in time!


    SPURT!


    The Knight wobbled to the side. A hole appeared in his eye, and the back of his skull had a simr-sized hole.


    He swayed from side to side before falling down to the ground. Thest remaining glowing eye dimmed down.

 Chapter 311 Top Player.

    [Congrattions!]


    [You Have Cleared Final Stage!]


    [GAME OVER!]


    Isaac''s consciousness was transferred to another location. While blinking, he saw the scenery rapidly changing.


    ¡­


    Isaac''s eyelids fluttered. His eyes opened slowly, and the first thing he saw was the light blue visor. On the other side of the visor was therge screen.


    ''''Ah¡­'''' He let out a breath. His body felt rather tense and weird for some unknown reason. Whenever he tried to move his limbs, they felt both light and heavy at the same time.


    In the game, his body felt foreign after each stage. When he assigned the stats, and his body got more robust. The feeling of weakness disappeared, and he felt powerful.


    Isaac took off the VR Helmet. A thin piece of fabric slipped through andnded on top of his shoe.


    ''''Hmm?'''' He ced the helmet on the table and bent down to pick up the fabric.


    ''''What is this?'''' He asked himself while feeling the soft texture of the thin fabric. The fabric seemed to be a piece of cloth.


    Then, he felt a hand touching his shoulder. Isaac turned his head and saw Sebastian''s excited face.


    ''You did it!'''' His high-pitched voice rang in Isaac''s ears.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac was surprised to see the way Sebastian behaved. He had always shown calmposure. Now, he was like apletely different person.


    Sebastian turned around and revealed the leaderboard.


    [1. Wraith - 100000]


    [2. LoneSamurai - 82000]


    Isaac''s mouth curved upwards, ''''Well¡­ I think we are done here. Shall we go?''''


    Sebastian nodded. He would have wanted to stay behind to witness LoneSamurai''s shocked face. However, Isaac didn''t seem fond of being in the center of attention.


    They stepped out of the building and left.


    Shortly afterward, the restaurant''s door opened. LoneSamurai led the crowd of people and walked over the road.


    The cars roaming the roads stopped. The drivers mmed their steering wheels with anger. They watched as the crowd slowly made their way over the road.


    LoneSamurai stepped inside the building and saw the screen shing in the color red. He smugly smirked and stopped in front of the leaderboard. He spun around and began posing.


    He flexed his brawny arms and waited for someone to snap a picture.


    When someone in the crowd was about to take a picture. They noticed that something had changed on the leaderboard.


    The previous number 10 spot had changed. It can only mean one thing. Someone reached higher in the ranking.


    They slowly raised their heads. They felt their hearts racing as they got closer to the top. Then, they noticed LoneSamurai''s name, but it wasn''t at the spot where it was supposed to be!


    ''Wraith!'' The same name rang in everyone''s mind. None of them really knew who it was. Isaac was, after all, only semi-popr. There was a hype surrounding him for a day, but it calmed down significantly after not showing any activity.


    The youth almost dropped the camera. He wobbled around, barely managing to keep a grip on it. He nced at the chat and saw a row of LOLs and LMAOs.


    Everyone wasughing at LoneSamurai, who was posing foolishly.


    ''Damn it!'' The youth quickly stopped broadcasting. His face was flushed in embarrassment.


    LoneSamurai''s brows furrowed as he asked, ''''Why aren''t you taking a picture?''''


    The youth walked next to him and whispered, ''''Look behind you.''''


    He turned around and, at first, didn''t notice anything wrong. Then, his gazended on the top of the leaderboard. His face altered shades rapidly.


    [1. Wraith - 100000]


    [2. LoneSamurai - 82000]


    ¡­


    ''''There.'''' Sebastian carried two smoking hotdogs wrapped in paper. He gave the money he owned to the stall owner.


    The stall owner nodded. He pocketed the cash and greeted another customer.


    Sebastian headed to a nearby park, where a white-haired youth was already sitting on a bench. Once arriving, he sat down and gave the other hotdog to Isaac.


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac grabbed it and put half of the hotdog into his mouth before taking a sharp bite.


    His mouth moved as he began chewing. The vors of the hotdog assaulted his senses. Isaac closed his eyes in satisfaction and felt many different vors traversing through his throat.


    He couldn''t even name half of them. The food stall owner had a pretty unique way of making hotdogs. He merged many different vors that not many would ever think of.


    Sebastian hummed with satisfaction after taking a bite, ''''No wonder he is A-Rank.''''


    ''''What?'''' Isaac was about to take another bite. Then he heard Sebastian''s voice and halted his movements.


    Sebastian nodded and pointed at the food stall owner, ''''He was Chef in A-Rank restaurant before deciding to open his own food stall.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac thought that it was interesting. The Layer of Feasting was indeed home to very special people.


    Crack!


    From the park''s forest, two children with wooden sticks emerged. They seemed to be arguing and started striking each other with the wooden sticks.


    Tiny red marks appeared around their delicate skins. However, they continued fighting. Sometimes managing to block and deflect, but often the stick would hit.


    Sebastian turned his body halfway and noticed the sight. His eyebrow rose as he looked around him. Their parents didn''t seem to be anywhere.


    Isaac wiped his lips with the napkin. When he stood up, he also saw the fight.


    He opened his mouth, about to ask what they were doing. Then, he heard the reason for their fight.


    The first child struck the stick down, hitting the other children in the shoulder, who grimaced in pain.


    ''''Swordsman is stronger ss!'''' He shouted in his childish voice.


    The other children rubbed his aching shoulder. Then, he shouted back with an even louder voice, ''''Knight is stronger! It has two weapons, making it stronger!''''


    ''''No, two weapons are stupid!''''


    Isaac''s mouth twitched. Then, he noticed two middle-aged women exiting the forest with a stern look. They started scolding the two children.


    Soon, they grabbed them from cors and dragged them away. The two children tried to fight back but were powerless against their mothers.


    ''''Hah.'''' Sebastian chuckled and stood up, ''''Shall we leave?''''


    ''''Yeah.'''' Isaac nodded. They decided to return to the mansion after Sebastian''s phone was bombed with messages from Madison.

 Chapter 312 Hidden Dungeon (1)

    Creak.


    Isaac opened the door to his room. He turned the light switch on, and the lightbulb flickered before lighting the room.


    He closed the door behind him and took off his jacket. He went to his wardrobe, opened the wooden doors, and hung his coat from the hanger.


    ''''Whew.'''' It was a rather exhausting day for Isaac. He and Sebastian wandered around the streets, even though he enjoyed it. The exhaustion was inevitable.


    After returning to the Whitelock mansion. They had a lengthy conversation with Madison and Malcolm. They weren''t opposed to Isaac going to the other Layer, but next time have to inform them first.


    Once the talk was over. Sebastian went to resume his work while Isaac returned to his room.


    Brr!


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac pulled out his phone. Turned the screen on and saw a news article. He had turned on all the news rted to White Online and had primarily received useless information.


    He wasn''t very interested. Isaac thought that another useless piece of news popped up. However, he still checked out.


    His disinterested face soon changed. His face showed surprise and excitement. The news talked about an event happening in White Online.


    It was happening in ten different ces, all around the World of White. One of the ces was Beast Forest, near Stronglord.


    Isaac pocketed the phone and grabbed the VR Helmet from the box. He copsed on the bed and ced the headgear around his head.


    The visor flickered as texts appeared.


    ''''Enter!''''


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Good Luck, White Death!]


    [Game: White Online - Status: Outstanding!]


    [Wee to the World of Legacies!]


    [World of White Wees You, Legacy Carrier!]


    ¡­


    Isaac''s eyes opened with a m. The clear white ceiling, dead gasmp, and curtains draped over the windows reached his vision. He sat up and opened the Interface with a single movement of his mouth.


    The Teleportation Pearl was soon held in Isaac''s hand.


    ''''Near Beast Forest!''''


    A bright light appeared in the previously dimly lit room. The bright light seeped through the curtains and reached outdoors. Nearby neighbors wondered where the sudden light came from. Then, the light disappeared.


    ¡­


    There was a dark forest surrounding a dirty road. The road was made frompact soil and was rather smudgy.


    The road had tire marks. It seemed that only recently, many carriages have driven past. The lingering sand was still airborne.


    Then, tiny light particles seeped through the ground. The particles started forming an outline of a person.


    The eyelids of a white-haired youth fluttered. Isaac looked around him and noticed that he was standing in the middle of the road. He recognized the ce.


    ''''Beast Forest is close¡­'''' Isaac turned his head around toward the direction where he expected the Beast Forest to be.


    He headed in that direction. Soon, the forest around him cleared, and he entered an open space with endless grasnd. In the distance, he could see shadows of hundreds, no¡­ Thousands of yers!


    They were gathered in front of Beast Forest''s entrance.


    None of them had any intention of entering. All of them waited patiently with equally excited faces.


    Isaac began jogging, and after a short minute, he reached the backline of the yers.


    He could see nothing except the sea of yers. Then, he heard conversations between the yers in front of him.


    ''''Any idea what the event is about?''''


    ''''No idea. But, I have heard rumors.''''


    ''''Rumors?''''


    ''''Yeah. Apparently, this will be a treasure hunt.''''


    ''''Treasure hunt?''''


    ''''Yeah. Whoever finds the treasure first gets to keep it.''''


    ''''Wow!''''


    Isaac rubbed the back of his head. Treasure hunt? He was somewhat skeptical. He had learned not to trust rumors blindly. Most of them spread rumors to earn a few minutes of fame.


    Even if the rumors were found to be fake, they would have already achieved their goal by then.


    Ding! Ding!


    The loud crowd of yers became silent. Out of thin air, a notification emerged.


    [SEEK OF HIDDEN!]


    [Wee, yers!]


    [In the Beast Forest, there are ten Hidden Dungeons. The only way to find them is with the help of clues!]


    [Only one person can enter a Hidden Dungeon. If a yer fails toplete a Hidden Dungeon, it will reappear somewhere in Beast Forest]


    [Good Luck, yers!]


    ¡­


    There was a sign of movement at the front of the crowd. The yers near the entrance rushed inside the forest. After that, chaos ensued.


    The yers that had grouped up had a single n. To search for clues together. But, that was a recipe for destruction. Only one person can enter the Hidden Dungeon, and none of them were willing to give that spot away.


    Isaac followed after the excited yers. The line moved forward slowly, but still, Isaac was not in a hurry.


    After ten minutes, Isaac was part of thest group to enter the forest. Everyone else had gotten a head start. The edge of Beast Forest was crammed with yers. Everyone looking for clues.


    The rocks were turned over. The trees pulled from their roots and mountains were broken once a dozen spellsnded on them.


    Isaac''s ears were hurting as the enraged shouts of yers rang in the forest. The fights were inevitable.


    ''What a carnage.'' He thought to himself as he looked around the forest. The yers even began to dig the ground. Trying out their luck.


    Isaac shook his head. He left the area and soon found himself standing in the middle of a small clearing.


    There was another group of yers discussing where the clue could be hidden. They noticed Isaac but didn''t care about his presence.


    ''What are they doing?'' Isaac was baffled at the scene. The group of yers was using their weapons to dig the ground. Soon, they realized that what they were doing was idiotic.


    Isaac headed in another direction. He walked for several minutes. The loud noises had disappeared a minute ago.


    He was already further away than most of the yers. Most of them stayed around the entrance while many rushed deeper into the forest.


    However, Isaac was still roaming around the outer edge. He didn''t seem in a hurry.


    Then, he stopped walking. His gaze shifted to a nearby tree, and a peal ofughter escaped his mouth, ''''Hah¡­ So simple.''''


    He stopped in front of the tree. In front of his face was a paper nailed to the tree. The paper had words written that told where he needed to go next.


    He took the paper into his hands. His eyes skimmed through the text. Then, he pocketed it and started heading in the direction of the next clue.

 Chapter 313 Hidden Dungeon (2)

    Tap! Tap!


    Isaac''s footsteps rang in the near-silent forest. Recently, the sound of fighting and bickerings had reached the deeper parts of the woods.


    He pulled out the piece of paper. His eyes skimmed through the text. The paper revealed where the next clue was, but it wasn''t urate. It only disclosed which direction he needed to walk to.


    He pocketed the paper and resumed walking. Soon, he went past a pair of broken trunks. The fallen trunks weren''t cut with a saw. Instead, it looked like someone yanked the tree with brute force.


    Isaac stopped and examined the broken tree. The upper half of the tree was lying on the ground. Next to it was the stump. The stump was uneven, with thorns of a tree prodding through.


    ''There are burnt marks¡­'' He thought to himself after seeing ck marks around the rims. He stood up and walked over the copsed tree trunks.


    After walking for another ten minutes. Isaac''s steps came to a halt. In the distance was a paper nailed on the tree. The tree seemed very old, leaning left and trunk narrowly intact.


    Isaac stopped in front of the paper and yanked it out of the tree. Once the paper was removed, the tree showed signs of activity.


    Crack!


    The tree trunk cracked out of nowhere. The thorns peeked through, and soon the tree started tumbling down!


    Bam!


    A deafening sound echoed in the previously serene part of the forest. The tree was broken in half. In the bark, signs of decaying were detectable. The cavities started forming at a speed visible to an eye.


    The tree stump was of grayish color and seemed to be decaying.


    Isaac''s gaze shifted from the tree to the paper. The paper showed an arrow pointing to the left. His head turned to the left, and he saw an arrow poking through another tree.


    He pocketed the paper and went to the arrow. Once he arrived next to the tree, he pulled the arrow out and examined it.


    The arrow was in top shape. Isaac expected to see some signs of breaking apart. After all, the arrow was made from wood, and it would be very unlikely it could stay intact after colliding with a sturdy tree.


    Suddenly, the arrow lying on top of his palm started hovering!


    At first, the arrow was only an inch away from touching Isaac''s hand. Then, the arrow spun around and started flying in a direction that led deeper into the woods.


    Isaac quickly ran after the arrow. The arrow moved at a steady pace, allowing him to follow behind with rtive ease.


    The arrow entered an open clearing, soon followed by Isaac. Then, the arrow stopped.


    ''''We arrived?'''' Isaac thought aloud and saw the arrow moving strangely. It stopped in the middle of the clearing. Then, the arrow started whirling around.


    It kept spinning for several minutes before stopping and flying once again.


    This time, the arrow went in another direction. Isaac hopped into his feet and followed after.


    After following the arrow for ten more minutes, Isaac heard something.


    ''''Let''s go in that direction!'''' A very clear and sharp voice rang from the bottom of the slope. Isaac and the arrow were only a step away from being spotted by the yers.


    Isaac grabbed the arrow and pulled it back before hiding behind a wide tree. The arrow was trying to get out of his grip, but Isaac was not letting go.


    Everyone with a brain would know that the floating arrow wasn''t normal. Isaac would get attacked and killed. As the footsteps got closer, the arrow also became more restless.


    Isaac didn''t dare to peek. He would be foolish to risk getting exposed.


    Tap! Tap!


    The footsteps reached them. Several voices talked with each other as they slowly went past the trees.


    Isaac''s forehead was drenched in sweat. His palm was starting to sting in slight pain. The arrow was squirming around.


    Soon, the footsteps were getting further away. Isaac slowly peeked toward them and saw five figures walking up the slope. He quickly crossed the distance between him and the next part of the forest.


    Whether it was bad luck or not. But, the group of yers walked up the slope from the ce void of any trees. Perhaps they thought it would be much safer than being surrounded by an endless horde of trees.


    After running further away from the yers, he opened his palm and let go of the arrow. The arrow instantly spun around and poked Isaac''s forehead.


    ''''Ah, what the f*ck!'''' Isaac tried to p the arrow away, but it simply dodged, turned around, and continued floating away.


    He rubbed his aching forehead, ''''This arrow is strange¡­''''


    Half an hourter.


    They arrived in another open clearing. The woods surrounded the clearing, andrge hills stopped any prying eyes from seeing them. Once Isaac stepped inside the clearing, he noticed how shielded the area was.


    The trees were nted very strangely. The trees were ced randomly, which blocked every straight line of sight. Even if Archer or fellow Marksman saw him, they wouldn''t be able to shoot at him.


    The arrow stopped in the middle of the clearing. Once again, it started spinning around. However, it was different this time around.


    The speed was much greater, making a small whirlpool around the arrow. Isaac''s white hair fluttered behind him. Then, the arrow stopped.


    Isaac thought that the arrow would start moving toward the direction it was pointing at. However, that wasn''t the case.


    The arrow spun around and pointed straight toward the bright blue sky.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac also looked at the sky and saw nothing wrong with it. Then, the arrow raced forward and disappeared once reaching high enough altitude.


    ''''Eh, what?''''


    Isaac moved forth and stopped at thest ce where the arrow was. He raised his head and pondered what he should do next. Grow wings and fly toward the sky? Madness.


    ''''Was that¡­ A trick?'''' He thought that perhaps it was a fake clue. To separate him from the rest of the group and waste his time.


    Crack!


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac dropped his gaze. Below his feet, the ground cracked and started crumbling apart!


    ''''Oh, sh*t!'''' His foothold disappeared, and Isaac fell down to the dark hollow.

 Chapter 314 Hidden Dungeon (3)

    "Ah." Isaac was lying on top of rock debris. His back was bent in a way that seemed rather ufortable. He had to admit that it indeed was.


    He could see the hole where he dropped from. There was a difference of ten meters between him and the hole. When he extended his hand, trying to gauge the distance, he realized how far it really was.


    Isaac sat up, with his hand rubbing the painful back. He nced behind him and saw the pile of rocks that didn''t make hisnding soft.


    He grimaced and slowly stood up.


    "Where am I?" Isaac thought aloud. Once, he had stood up. He noticed that he didn''t fall into some random location. There seemed to be a reason for the room he was in.


    The grayish and rocky walls were filled with scribbles and words. The background of the drawing was filled with extravagant castles and gardens. There were also drawings of kids ying with an item resembling a ball.


    The smile on the kids'' faces seemed rather creepy. The mouth was curved way more than it should be possible. Their eyes and nose were gone.


    The drawing wasn''t colored. Except for two tiny balls. Isaac had to squint his eyes to even notice them.


    There were two balls painted. One in blue and the other in red. Two separate kids were ying with them.


    The first kid was ying in the backyard of an enormous castle. While the second kid was ying in a yard of a mansion.


    The first kid was skinny, while the second kid was the pr opposite and was basically a chubbier version.


    Isaac turned his head around and flinched. He took a step back out of shock, and his heart almost exploded out of his chest. Soon, he regained hisposure.


    In front of him was a statue. The statue didn''t have eyes or a nose, but it had a mouth curved into a creepy grin.


    The statue had his two hands extended, both palms open, holding a ball, one each.


    A blue-colored ball was on top of the left palm, and the red-colored ball was on the right palm.


    When Isaac was about to touch one of the balls. Words behind the statue started glowing.


    Isaac quickly pulled his hand. He had a feeling that choosing one ball randomly was a terrible choice.


    He began to read the texts, "This a tale between Crown Prince and a blue ball¡­"


    After speaking the first line of the text, he already had a weird feeling in his mouth. The story wasn''t what he expected.


    "The blue ball was the favorite toy of thete Crown Prince, who died from an unknown illness. He always loved to y around it, sometimes, even losing his sleep over it."


    Isaac rubbed his temples, "What the hell am I reading..?"


    "However, Emperor and Empress noticed something was very wrong about the blue ball."


    "Whenever the Crown Prince yed with it. He felt obsessed, odd, and always grumpy."


    "He seemed like a whole new person. He had a reputation of being a nice kid with a great future ahead. He was kind toward servants and themon folk."


    "He was supposed to be a great Emperor in the future. But, everything changed once the blue ball appeared out of nowhere."


    "One day, the blue ball emerged out of nowhere. When the Crown Prince was rummaging through cabs, trying to find his school books, he found something else."


    "A blue ball. That day, he skipped his studies and yed the whole day with it."


    "Emperor and Empress didn''t pry deeper into it. Their son was, after all, tirelessly studying without anyints. They didn''t mind if he took one day off."


    "However, soon that trend continued."


    "He continued ying around the ball, skipped the studies, and became pr opposite than what he used to be.''''


    "A few yearster, he died while ying with the ball, and the ball disappeared."


    "The End."


    Isaac raised his eyebrow. He wasn''t sure whether the story was real or not. But it was obvious that the blue ball was cursed or something.


    "Maybe it was a plot of a rival noble house?" Isaac had his own wild theories. He shifted his gaze to another line of texts, this time, it was about the red ball.


    "The red ball was a forgotten toy. Once owned by a noble who deserted it after growing older."


    "He hid the red ball in the attic. Soon, forgotten by everyone that the ball ever existed."


    "After several decades, the new owner of the mansion found the red ball. The red ball was thrilled, thinking he would be brought outside after such a long time."


    "But¡­ The owner threw the red ball away. The red ball felt great sorrow and anger."


    "The End."


    "What, that''s it?" Isaac frowned. The red ball story ended without a proper conclusion.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Choose one of the balls!]


    [If you choose the right one, you may enter Hidden Dungeon. If you choose the wrong one, you shall die]


    "What?!" Isaac looked around the room. He was shocked to find out that it was the passage to the Hidden Dungeon. He had his own thoughts about the purpose of the room. It being Hidden Dungeon was one of them.


    His gaze shifted to the balls, "Red ball seems obvious choice¡­ Doesn''t it?" He extended his hand, about to grab the red ball.


    Then, he remembered the ending of the red ball. What if the red ball''s story didn''t end there¡­ Instead, continued somewhere else?


    Isaac looked back at the words. The red ball story was on the left side, and the blue ball story was on the right.


    Even though the words were separated by a clear cut in the middle. They seemed to be connected.


    Isaac turned his gaze back to the balls. When he examined them more thoroughly. He found out something.


    He touched the blue ball without lifting it up from the palm. He used his nail and started peeling the color off.


    Below the blue color was red!


    Once he had peeled off half of the blue, the color red was more apparent.


    He went to the red ball and did the same. He peeled the color off and underneath saw blue!


    "I see¡­" Isaac looked back and forth between the balls. He quickly decided which one to choose.

 Chapter 315 Hidden Dungeon (4)

    ''''Whew¡­'''' Beads of sweat trickled down his delicate face. Isaac used the back of his hand to wipe them away.


    With sweaty palms, he picked up the ball he chose. However, the choice was rather surprising. He didn''t choose red or blue, instead chose both.


    He held the two balls in his palms, waiting for anything to happen.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Congrattions, yer Wraith!]


    [Hidden Dungeon Unlocked!]


    ''''Haaah!'''' The balls slipped from his hand. They bounced on the ground beforeing to a stop. Isaac''s heart raced. It was a total gamble, and there was only a 33% chance of being right.


    Creak!


    A stone door emerged from the rock wall. The ground had scratching marks like the door was opened and closed several times, and the bottom frame of the door was touching the door during that time. A shimmer of light seeped through from the other side of the door.


    Isaac pushed the door open. The door was hefty, forcing Isaac to use all the strength he could utter from his hidden muscles.


    Screech!


    The loud screech echoed in the closed space. Soon, the door was wide open. Once Isaac stepped inside, the door closed behind him.


    BAM!


    The pebbles rolled on the ground, and dust seeped through the crevices of the wall. The sound of water spattering against rocky ground echoed in the cramped pathway.


    Ding! Ding!


    [First Hidden Dungeon Found!]


    [yer Wraith, Challenger!]


    [Hidden Dungeons 1/10]


    Isaac didn''t pay any attention to the notifications. But, the outside world did.


    ¡­


    Thousands of yers roamed around the Beast Forest. Some of them had already found clues and were about to reach the location of the second clue.


    Then, a loud dinging noise rang in everyone''s ears.


    Ding! Ding!


    [First Hidden Dungeon Found!]


    [yer Wraith, Challenger!]


    [Hidden Dungeons 1/10]


    ''''What?!'''' A shocked screams rang in the broad forest. The yers who recognized the name were utterly amazed and also anxious. Everyone had felt rxed after no one had found Hidden Dungeon for an hour.


    But, now someone did!


    That caused erratic movements in almost every party.


    Deep in the woods, Queen Diana came to a stop. Her eyes widened in surprise after the sudden notification.


    She wasn''t the only one. Every ck Arrow member was moving alone, and all of them were shocked to find out the name of Wraith in the notification.


    On top of arge hill. A handsome Knight with short blond hair and a well-defined facial structure examined the paper in his hands.


    He didn''t seem to be in a hurry. Below the slope of the hill, he could see glimpses of anxious yers running around.


    Some yers noticed him. However, when they noticed the Golden Crown on the blond-haired man''s armor, they turned around and left.


    King Jonathan skimmed through the test. The paper held every clue he needed. However, the clues weren''t as simple as Isaac''s.


    The clues were some kind of riddles, and those enigmas led him to this hill. Do you want to read more chapters ? Come to


    Apparently, he was supposed to see the Hidden Dungeon there. However, could see nothing except a horde of trees.


    Ding! Ding!


    Out of nowhere, arge holographic screen appeared in the sky out of thin air.


    [First Hidden Dungeon Found!]


    [yer Wraith, Challenger!]


    [Hidden Dungeons 1/10]


    King Jonathan''s eyes widened in surprise, ''''Wraith¡­ He is indeed¡­ A formidable opponent.'''' He pocketed the paper and stood up.


    ''''No time to waste.'''' He scanned the forest and noticed three spots where the Hidden Dungeon could be. His armor rattled as he leaped into the air. His majestic figure moved across the air as he came closer to the Hidden Dungeon!


    Marvin and his group of troublemakers reached a ce of the second clue in the other part of the woods. Then, the notification appeared.


    ''''Hahaha!'''' Marvin roared inughter. His friends followed with their ownughs.


    ''''Well then, let''s do this!'''' He yanked the paper from the tree and saw another clue, ''''Ins, you are good with this shit, aren''t you?''''


    Ins took the paper and skimmed through the text. Only a minuteter, he nodded, ''''We should be standing on top of it.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Marvin frowned and looked below them.


    Ins pocketed the paper that showed a map with a red cross. Even though it was very badly drawn, and coordinates were nonexistent, Ins still could figure out where the red mark was pointing at.


    ''''Alright, who shall try it out?'''' Marvin asked and began to discuss it with his friends.


    Soon, they came to a conclusion. They will decide with a game of rock, paper, and scissors.


    Not far from them. A group of three beautiful women strolled in the forest. However, came to a stop after noticing the notification.


    ''''Amazing¡­'''' Hellsky muttered with a look of amazement.


    SnowMaiden and WinterLove looked at the floating screen. Their hearts raced after realizing that they could meet with him for the first time in a week.


    ''''Alright, girls!'''' Hellsky pped her soft hands and pulled out a scrap of paper, ''''The Hidden Dungeon should be close. Let''s do this!''''


    ¡­


    Isaac wandered in the dimly lit paths. The only light was from the crevices. The shimmer of light of the sun enveloped the path slowly.


    Soon, Isaac reached the end of the path. He stepped out of the dimly lit path and entered a spacious cavern.


    In the middle of the cavern was a beautifulke. The water was clear, reflecting the cavern''s ceiling. At the bottom of theke were shining rocks. Glowing in purple, blue, red, orange, and golden colors.


    Isaac''s breath stopped momentarily after seeing the scene. Then, he resumed walking and soon reached the edge of theke.


    Isaac bent down and touched the cold water. The surface of the water reflected his figure, and once touching it, the reflection rippled.


    His reflection became unclear. Then, the waves calmed down, and he could see his beautiful face.


    Ding! Ding!


    Isaac''s thoughts were interrupted, and a holographic screen emerged out of thin air.

 Chapter 316 Hidden Dungeon (5)

    Isaac was still looking at theke. He didn''t shift his gaze at the text that appeared. When he turned his head around, there was some kind of invisible string pulling his gaze back to theke.


    ''''Strange¡­'''' Soon, he noticed theke''s reflection changing. It didn''t show the cavern''s ceiling anymore.


    Instead, a luxurious room. The room was beautiful, with arge bed in the middle.


    The bed was covered in a red nket and shrouded in red curtains.


    The draped curtains opened. Under the nket was a sign of movement. Then, a soft and silky leg was exposed.


    The nket moved out of the way enough for the whole leg to be visible. All the way from toes to the thighs.


    They were alluring, enough to unleash man''s hidden desires. Isaac''s eyes widened slowly.


    The nket shuffled, and soon, a head emerged. It belonged to a woman. The face was heart-shaped, and the eyebrows were silky and long. She slowly sat up in the bed, the nket covering her naked figure.


    The nket tightly hugged her body, outlining every inch of her body. But, her body proportions were invisible to be hidden. The nket outlined two heavy-looking mounds, and two pointy nipples were the most noticeable ones.


    The woman herself was incredibly beautiful. Her silky ck hair reached the bed, and her long eyshes and pointy nose were a sight to behold. Her smooth and soothing skin was enough to treat as a natural treasure.


    The nket moved enough out of the way that most of her body was still hidden, but that only made everyone more curious to find out what was hidden beneath. Only her wide hips and soft-looking thighs were visible. Her bright, ocean-like blue eyes were seen every time her eyes opened after a blink.


    She slowly lifted her smooth arm. The arm was like made from jade, extremely delicate and untainted by mortal hands. She extended her long index finger and motioned for Isaac toe closer.


    Her mouth was curved into a pleasant smile. She looked both seductive and innocent at the same time.


    Isaac leaned closer to theke. However, when his nose was about to touch the surface. He woke up from his stupor and pulled his head back.


    The beautiful woman sighed in disappointment. Like she was just rejected by her crush.


    Soon, the reflection changed.


    The bedroom and beautiful woman disappeared.


    ''''What the hell was that?'''' Isaac felt cold sweat pouring down on his back. He felt very tempted to dip into theke. However, managed to grab himself from the cor and pull out of the temptation.


    Then, theke''s reflection changed. This time, theke showed an athletic man with beautiful white hair.


    The man turned halfway, just enough for Isaac to see his face. The face was otherworldly. The body structure was perfected and was every woman''s wet dream.


    The way the athletic man moved was like the world resounded around him. Isaac had to admit that he hadn''t seen anyone as handsome as the man in the reflection.


    White hair, white eyshes, and gray eyes. They resembled a certain someone, but Isaac would never think it was him in the reflection.


    While he was skinny and seemingly unathletic. The man in the reflection was the pr opposite. He was draped in white robes. That didn''t reduce his attractiveness, instead made him look more mysterious and powerful.


    If the woman of the previouske was a dream of any man. The man would be the dream of any woman.


    Unlike the woman, the man opened his mouth and spoke, ''''Do you want strength?''''


    ''''Strength¡­'''' Isaac repeated after him. His body slowly inching closer to theke.


    ''''Dive into theke¡­ You will be stronger than anyone. You can get everything.'''' p.a.n.d.a n.o.v.e.l


    ''''Women¡­ Money¡­ Fame¡­''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac''s body stopped. He repeated the words in his mind several times. The handsome man''s words echoed in his ears.


    Isaac pulled his head back slowly. The handsome man''s face became emotionless as he witnessed his weaker version backing out.


    The reflection changed. The handsome man disappeared into ripples.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' Isaac sat down on the stony ground. His body was drenched in sweat. Money¡­ Women¡­ Fame¡­ Strength¡­ The thought of receiving them all was rather tempting. Isaac would be lying if he didn''t feel tempted.


    He has money. Fame was never his goal. Isaac managed to counter every temptation, but strength was the one that almost tipped him over the edge. However, managed to fight back.


    Then, there were the women. Images surfaced in his mind, which showed him being surrounded by women, equally as beautiful as the woman in the reflection.


    ''''This is strange¡­ Why did I think about her?'''' Isaac nced at his trembling hand. He turned it around until the palm was facing him. Then, he turned it around and looked at the back of his hand.


    The trembling wasn''t stopping. His heart was erratic. His cheeks flushed, painted on a hue of pink.


    ''''Strange¡­ I have only felt like this once¡­'''' Isaac brushed the strands of hair to the side and knelt on the ground. Then, he stood up to stand.


    In the reflection, another image showed. A beautiful ck-haired girl with an innocent smile on her face. Her body was draped in witch''s robes. She wasn''t as beautiful as the women showed in the reflection. But, she had a different kind of aura around her.


    An aura that attracted Isaac like a moth to the me.


    He slowly knelt down. His breath gone rough. His cheeks flushed and forehead drenched in sweat.


    Isaac extended his hand, the tip of his finger almost touching the surface. In front of his finger was the beautiful young woman''s smiling face. Her eyes were curved to add more allure to her looks.


    Then, he clenched his fist, and the reflection disappeared. Instantly, another reflection appeared. It showed the ceiling of the cavern.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Congrattions, yer Wraith!]


    [Test of Temptation Completed!]


    [1/3]


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac saw that two tests were remaining. The first test alone put him on the edge of failure. He stayed in the kneeling position for several minutes.


    Creak!


    A stone door opened. A simr scratching mark appeared on the stone ground. However, Isaac wasn''t moving.


    ''''Yeah¡­'''' Isaac came to a conclusion. He touched his chest and felt his heart racing, ''''It seems I like her¡­ Since when? Strange¡­ But, it feels nice.''''

    Tap! Tap!


    Isaac reached the open stone door. He was still having trouble calming down his pounding heart. He held his chest and took rapid breaths. It didn''t help that certain someone''s face kept popping up in his mind.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' He took arge strode forward. Once he stepped inside the second cavern, the door mmed shut.


    Bam!


    The cavern in front of him was rather strange. Yellowish crystals were hanging from the ceiling. However, the cavern was very dimly lit. He could barely see a meter in front of him!


    When Isaac tried to move forward. His arms collided with nearby walls. He moved his arms around, trying to get a feeling of things around him.


    Isaac opened his Interface. He tried to use the light of a holographic screen to illuminate his path. Soon, he realized that he was standing in the middle of a cramped pathway.


    It was not as sessful as he had hoped. The floating screen sent a ray of light to the nearby area. But, that only allowed him to see where the walls were. However, couldn''t see where the path took him.


    It was still better than nothing. Isaac began to walk forward. The holographic screen still floating in front of him.


    Swoosh!


    Rustle!


    Isaac felt chills running on his back. He turned around and moved the holographic screen to send a ray of light in front of him.


    The cramped hallway arrived in his vision. Isaac''s eyebrow jumped. He was sure that he heard the sound of rustling. Like, robes were fluttering.


    Isaac was sure that the sound came right behind him. He even felt the wind brushing past his hair. He raised his head to look at the ceiling. There was no way that wind would have reached the cavern.


    ''What was that¡­'' He rubbed the back of his head. Do you want to read more chapters?


    Swoosh!


    Rustle!


    Suddenly, he felt the wind brushing past him and heard the sound of robes fluttering.


    Isaac''s face changed shades. His head shakily turned around. The holographic screen enveloped the nearby area in a light blue color.


    Like before, he couldn''t see anything. Isaac quickly increased the pace of his walking. Soon, he reached a crossroads.


    There were four directions to go. Forward, to the left, to right, or back.


    Isaac kept walking forward. Completely ignoring other suggestions.


    Rustle!


    The sound of robes followed after him, and Isaac began to run. Then, he reached another crossroad.


    This time, he jumped to the left. Once he reached the left path, he closed the holographic screen and hid in the darkness. Come to p a n d a-n o v e l,c o m


    The crossroad was dimly lit with a yellowish hue. That allowed Isaac to see the cracked walls, dry ground, and dusty ceiling.


    Rustle!


    From nowhere, a floating figure appeared at the crossroads. His skeletal figure was draped in tattered rags. On top of the head, a nametag floated.


    [Wraith]


    Isaac''s eyes shook, ''Is this some kind of sick prank?!''


    The skeletal figure was Wraith. Famously known as a figure that hates every living being.


    The Wraith turned its crackling head around. The sound of the bones nking sent a chill on Isaac''s back. He wanted to cover his ears but was afraid that sudden movement could attract the Wraith''s attention.


    Then, the Wraith continued floating. He entered the left path and soon disappeared into the darkness.


    Ding! Ding!


    Isaac''s body flinched. He wobbled around and almost fell to the ground. He covered his mouth, nearly sending a rain of curses to the environment. However, that would be thest thing he would do.


    [Test of Courage!]


    [Reach the end of the path without letting out a sound!]


    After seeing the floating texts, Isaac removed his hands from his lips. His face became red after keeping his breath inside him for too long. He started exhaling through the nose.


    His mouth stayed shut.


    After he had regained hisposure. Isaac stepped out of the right path and entered the path that was going straight.


    He basically tip-toed the whole journey. Afraid that his footsteps would attract the Wraith''s attention.


    Shortly afterward, he reached the end of the path. There was a stone wall blocking him from going further. However, there were paths that went left and right.


    Isaac went straight to the right. He didn''t even have to think. The Wraith went to the left path and could still be roaming there. All around, the right path seemed safer.


    Then, he found out that his assumption might have been wrong. Isaac''s body froze as he saw the end of the path.


    At the end of the path, a light flickered. The light disappeared and reappeared. The end of the path was dark until the light shed, and some light appeared.


    Once the light flickered, a skeletal figure draped with tattered rags appeared. It was floating right below the light source, looking straight at Isaac.


    Isaac shakily turned around. However, he saw another skeletal figure floating away from the left path, crossing the open space and entering the right path.


    ''I am trapped!'' Isaac anxiously thought. Both the Wraith''s were looking straight at him. However, the question remained, do they know he was there?


    He was shrouded in darkness. He wasn''t sure whether they could see his white-colored clothes in the darkness. Isaac opened his mouth, wanting to change his clothes to the color ck.


    Then, he remembered that he wasn''t allowed to let out a sound.


    Rustle¡­


    The sound of robes fluttering got closer.


    Isaac anxiously looked around him. He was surrounded by two walls, with two different paths to go. However, the paths weren''t an option.


    He could already feel the looming danger of the Wraith. It would take several seconds for it to reach where he was.


    Isaac slowly bent down andy t on the ground. His nose touched the ground, and he stopped breathing altogether.


    His eyes fluttered before closing them shut.


    Rustle!


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' The Wraith let out a creepy hum. Its skeleton-like toes brushed past Isaac''s clothing. He kept floating without any emotion in his features.


    Once the Wraith reached the flickering light, the Wraith, standing underneath the light source, turned around and began to float away.


    The other Wraith turned in the opposite direction and began to float away. Soon, the sound of robes fluttering disappeared.


    Once Isaac raised his head, he saw that behind the flicker of light was a stone door!


    The stone door had a doorknob waiting to be twisted and opened.


    Isaac hurried to his two feet. He ran to the door, twisted the doorknob, and entered the third cavern.


    Before going further away, he mmed the door shut and slumped down on the ground with a sweat-drenched face.

    Tap! Tap!


    The cavern''s rocky ceiling cracked. A tiny pebble fell down andnded on the stone ground. The cavern was filled with the rhythmic sound of tapping. When the rocksnded on the ground, the sound reappeared, and it kept repeating.


    From the narrow crevices, a shimmer of light appeared.


    Crack!


    The yellow crystals hanging from the ceiling cracked. A yellowish light escaped from the cracks in the crystals. The light was released into the cavern. Then, the light faded away, and the yellow crystal dimmed down.


    Soon, the yellow crystal was yellow no more. The crystal''s interior became brown and musky.


    The only light source wasing from the crevices. They became bigger and released more light into the cavern. Soon, the light was bright enough to envelop the whole rocky environment.


    At the bottom of the cavern. There was a raised tform. It was around three meters away from the stone ground. There was two flight of stairs leading to the top of the tform. It was like an arena, built for a battle.


    There was someone sitting on the tform. The shimmer of light revealed his shadowed face. He had jet-ck hair made from the darkness. The eyelids fluttered, revealing the eyes. They were dark.


    It seemed like there was a whirlpool of darkness in the depths of his eyes. He seemed to be around 18s in age with a beautiful face. He was draped in dark robes, covering his seemingly pale and frail body.


    His skin was withering away, and his face stayed the same for some reason. His beautiful face had no change. However, the rest of his body was skinny, pale, and sickly.


    His mouth curved upward. A peal of darkughter seeped through his mouth, ''''Kakakaka¡­ He is here¡­ Inferior me!''''


    ¡­


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac knelt on the ground. He pulled a paper from his pocket and used it to wipe his sweat. The paper was soon soaked, and the scribbles on it became unreadable.


    He didn''t care and threw the paper away.


    He stood up and dusted off his clothes. While doing so, his hands trembled. The adrenaline rush wasn''t over yet. It was like he could still feel Wraith''s toes touching him.


    Isaac shuddered just from the thought. Soon, he was in good enough condition to resume the dungeon.


    Tap! Tap!


    While walking, the notification emerged from thin air.

    [2/3]


    ''''Whew¡­ Only one remaining.'''' Isaac''s eyes turned firm. He elerated his pace and soon reached the end of the path.


    He stepped out of the path and entered a spacious cavern. The shimmer of sunlight covered his figure.


    Isaac was rather surprised to see the sunlight. They were, after all, underground.


    At a distance, he could see the tform. Isaac''s eyebrow rose, wondering what the next test could be.


    Then, a notification appeared.


    [Last Test!]


    [Test of Yourself!]


    ''''Test of¡­ Yourself?''''


    [The Test shall begin once you step on top of the tform]


    [Good Luck, yer Wraith!]


    Isaac shrugged. He wasn''t sure what the test was about, but he was confident enough to clear it. It wasn''t blind confidence, but he had a few theories about the uing trial.


    It could test how much he knows about himself. Isaac was confident ofpleting the test if that was the case. However, there was a higher chance that it meant something else.


    Isaac reached the steps. He stepped forth and walked up the stairs. Soon, he reached the top.


    Once his feet touched the tform. The notifications emerged.


    [Last Test Begins!]


    Bang!


    A bullet swished through the air and scratched Isaac''s cheek out of nowhere before continuing to fly further away.


    Isaac''s body froze out of shock. He shakily touched his bleeding cheek. He moved the tip of his finger in front of his face and saw it soaked in blue blood.


    ''''Kakakaka!'''' Aughter resounded in the cavern. Isaac felt like he had suddenly entered a pit of hell. Instead of being warm, it was freezing. His toes became stiff, and his cold fingers couldn''t be moved.


    The dark-haired youth stood up slowly. His grin reached his ears. On his back, a gun draped in dark clothing was strapped in.


    He unstrapped the gun and moved it in front of him. The gun seemed like it was made from the darkness. It was entirely shrouded in some kind of ck smudge. While the dark-haired youth touched the weapon. Veins in color ck protruded. They went from his hand to the neck.


    He looked rather sickly, like someone who was about to die.


    ''''Grah!'''' A puff of dark smoke left his mouth. His crooked teeth started decaying. However, his beautiful face was still unaffected. Even while his whole body was breaking apart, his face stayed intact.


    ''''Isaac!'''' His hoarse scream rang in Isaac''s ears.


    Isaac whipped his head toward the direction of the scream. He was shocked to hear someone calling out his name. When he finally saw the figure, he was speechless!


    Even though the dark-haired youth looked like someone about to die, his face was identical to him.


    ''''W-Who?''''


    The dark-haired youth opened his mouth andughed, ''''Kakakaka. My name is Dark Isaac, and I am the superior version of you!''''


    ''''Superior version?'''' Isaac took a step back. The words rang in his mind.


    Dark Isaac spread his arms and shouted till the ceiling quaked, ''''I am the true Isaac. This is what you should be, and not the pathetic weakling!''''


    Isaac''s shocked face had a significant change. His eyelids lowered, and his mouth closed. He extended his hand forward, and The Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle popped out of nowhere andnded on his hand.


    Dark Isaac grinned, ''''Oh¡­ Are you sure you want to fight me? If you think I am you. You are mistaken. I am not you¡ª I am better than you!''''


    ''''Sorry, I can''t care less.'''' Isaac ced his finger on the trigger. Extended the gun and rested his cheek on the stock.


    When the barrel''s aim was locked in Dark Isaac''s face, he asked, ''''Tell me, if you are me. What will be my next move?''''


    Dark Isaac grinned and nced above him, where the ceiling was about to copse, ''''So predictable...''''


    BANG!

 Chapter 319 Lsaac Vs. Dark Lsaac (2)

    Crack!


    The ceiling copsed, sending a rain of debris straight toward Dark Isaac. He, however, didn''t seem to be fazed. He grinned and leaped across the air.


    CRASH!


    The debris crashed to the ground. Arge sand cloud emerged from broken rubble.


    Dark Isaded on the ground. He looked rxed with his chest out. His dark, demonic eyes locked with Isaac''s grayish eyes.


    He showed a close-lipped smile, ''''Like I said. So predictable.''''


    Isaac''s eyebrows creased. The area around them was soon shrouded by the thick sand cloud.


    Dark Isaac''s robes cracked and fluttered alongside the wind. Neither one of them could see each other clearly. The clear line of sight disappeared.


    Bam!


    Then, a bullet covered in a cube of ice traveled across the sand cloud, freezing the grains of sand and dust.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes. Then, he saw the freezing bullet flying straight toward him!


    ''He has the same skills as I have!'' He soon recognized the bullet as the Icy Shot ability.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' A puff of cold air exited Dark Isaac''s lungs. His weapon let out cold air before the darkness swallowed them.


    His dark eyes followed the icy bullet. He wanted to know how would his inferior self survive this ordeal.


    Isaac took a quick step forward. He moved his hands behind his back and strapped the Mosin-Nagant into his back. He connected the two strap pieces and heard the sound nk behind him.


    Once, the Mosin-Nagant was adequately strapped. Isaac whispered, ''''Interface¡­''''


    The light bluish holographic screen emerged out of thin air. The icy bullet was getting closer and closer. However, Isaac wasn''t in a hurry.


    The icy bullet was way slower than an ordinary bullet. That was the advantage he had against Dark Isaac. He knew every ability and movement he would do. He also learned how to counter-attack his skills.


    Isaac pulled a pouch filled with bullets from the Inventory. He lifted his arm and moved his arm in a whip-like way, like someone throwing a baseball.


    The pouch left his clenched hand, flew across the air, and once the bag began to descend. It interjected the icy bullet''s trajectory and collided with it!


    The pouch instantly froze in the ice cubicle. However, the icy bullet also disappeared.


    Isaac jumped across the icy floor and reeled in his fist.


    Dark Isaac lifted his chin with a crazed smirk, ''''Hahaha, is that all?!''''


    He swung the gun around and screamed, ''''RAAAH!''''


    Bam!


    ''''HAAA!'''' Isaac''s veins protruded, and his uv shook as he screamed his heart out. His hand covered in a fingerless glove was clenched into a fist. The fist began to move forth toward the uing weapon!


    Then, the fist and the weapon collided. Isaac instantly felt the endless coldness the dark weapon was emitting. The tips of his fingers became ice-cold, and he thought his fingers would fall off.


    ''''Hahaha!'''' Dark Isaac keptughing even while his arms shook. He seemed to be having the time of his life. The dark veins protruded, and his knees started gradually bending down.


    [ Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m ] However, he was stillughing even though he was slowly losing the battle.


    Then, Isaac''s kicknded on Dark Isaac''s knee, causing him to finally fall down on his knees.


    ''''Oh!'''' Dark Isaac''s face didn''t show any signs of his panic. His arms shook as Isaac unleashed another punch and struck the weapon. Even though the gun was pushed backward, Dark Isaac had no intention of giving up.


    ''What the hell is wrong with him?!'' Isaac''s arm froze. He stepped back and stopped attacking.


    Dark Isaac lowered the gun slowly. His hair was messy, and some kind of ck goo dripped down from the strands of his hair. The ck fluid, of some sort, stained his face in a dirty smudge.


    ''''Hahahahaha¡­'''' Hisugher echoed in the cavern. Even seeping through the cracks of the ceiling and reaching the outside world. The yers who heard theughter felt frightened at first.


    However, when they get closer to the source of theughter. They saw themselves standing in the middle of the open clearing. Theughter was supposed toe from the spot where they were standing.


    Theughter was so clear that they thought one of them wasughing. Their faces paled, and they started backing out slowly.


    Because of their turbulent mind and the fear creeping into their bones slowly, they failed to notice the cracks in the ground.


    It was rtively easy to see two figures facing each other from the cracks.


    Isaac was about to unstrap his gun. However, his hands froze as he heard the crazyughter sounding more lonely.


    ''''Hah¡­ Hah¡­ Hah¡­'''' Dark Isaac''s skin started melting away slowly. Underneath, the decaying skull became visible. He let go of the grip and allowed the gun to leave his grasp.


    Once the gunnded on the ground. The darkness shrouding the weapon began seeping through the thin cracks of the tform. The weapon''s previous appearance returned slowly.


    The darkness had vanished into the cracks, and the weapon, that resembled the Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle reappeared.


    ''This was never supposed to be a fight¡­'' Isaac figured that out after trading punches with the weapon. If he would fight against Dark Isaac, it would never end.


    They knew each other perfectly. Each move, technique, skill, and even the way one thinks.


    ''''Grah¡­ Argh!'''' Dark Isaac grabbed his temples and vomited a ck goo. Once the ck fluid touched the ground, it melted the ground, made arge hole, and seeped through.


    ''''Fuck¡­'''' He pulled a napkin from his pocket. His fatigued eyes gazed at the napkin for several seconds. The napkin was already stained in a ck smudge, and it was far from clean.


    However, he didn''t care and wiped the stains from his lips. Then, he pocketed the napkin and lifted his head to look at Isaac''s towering figure.


    Isaac stopped in front of him and dropped his gaze to see Dark Isaac''s eyes.


    Dark Isaac''s face suddenly looked enraged, ''''You¡­''''


    Isaac perked up his ears and could see his fingers digging deep into his wrinkly skin. Then, when the blood started dropping down, the color wasn''t what it was supposed to be.


    ck blood trailed down his palm.


    ''''You were never supposed to go that forest.'''' Dark Isaac''s hollow eyes showed endless darkness, ''''It''s your fault that¡­ I will die!''''

    ''''What do you mean?'''' Isaac asked.


    Bam!


    Dark Isaac mmed the ground and shakily tried to stand up but couldn''t even lift his arm, ''''Argh, f*cking mortal body!''''


    ''''What did you mean by that?'''' Isaac asked one more time. His feet tapped the ground impatiently.


    ''''That forest¡­'''' Dark Isaac grabbed a handful of grains of sand and rubbed them to his skin, ''''Snowstorm¡­ Remember?''''


    ''''Yes.'''' Isaac crossed his arms. He already knew what forest he was talking about. That forest had constantly been circling around in his memory.


    He remembered most of his childhood. But, the days around the time of the Snowstorm were very hazy.


    ''''You¡­ You weren''t supposed to be there!'''' Dark spots started emerging from the corners of his eyes. Tears started skimming through the skin. However, the tears were made of ck goo.


    ''''What do you mean?''''


    ''''You¡­ You found something there, didn''t you?'''' He asked while skimming through Isaac''s body, ''''You found¡­ Something.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac rubbed his temples, ''I found something? What did I find?''


    ''''Return it¡­'''' His words at first were calm before turning hateful, ''''Return that item to the boulder, please!''''


    Isaac wasn''t sure what he meant, ''''I don''t know what you are talking about,''''


    ''''LIAR!'''' Dark Isaac wasn''t buying it. He scratched his hair, began tugging it, and almost tore his hair from the scalp.


    ''''I really don''t know what you are talking about.'''' Isaac wasn''t lying. There was a big void in his mind that stopped him from remembering.


    ''''F*ck¡­'''' Dark Isaac smeared the grains of sand all around his hair. He seemed crazy and unstable.


    ''''I am dying¡­ Because of you!'''' This time, Isaac let him talk freely.


    ''''If you didn''t go there¡­ You would have be me¡­ This is what we were supposed to be!''''


    [ Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m ] ''''Because of you went there¡­ I died, and you became¡­ That.'''' Dark Isaac scanned Isaac from head to toe and was greatly disappointed.


    ''''What a humiliation¡­ You are weak, pitiful, pathetic, nothing like me!''''


    Isaac''s brows creased. He couldn''t care less what he talked about him. After all, he was the one standing while Dark Isaac was defeated on the ground.


    Dark Isaac stopped tugging his hair and calmed for a second, ''''Let me tell you¡­ About what we should have be.''''


    ''''I was like you¡­ I had a massive crush on Amanda, and I would have married her.'''' Dark Isaac seemed very confident. Then, his face became enraged with his teeth cracking.


    ''''Then¡­ That piece of shit, Oliver¡­ How dare he do that to me¡­'''' His body trembled as he curled into a fetal position, ''''I was¡­ Stuck in the hospital¡­ For so long¡­''''


    ''''My parents visited me¡­ However, I soon saw their faces changing every time they visited me¡­ They knew I had changed¡­''''


    ''''And I did¡­ I became strong!''''


    ''''One day, I escaped the hospital and went to the school. All the sses were ongoing. I went to the kitchen, grabbed all the sharp items I could find¡­''''


    His mouth twitched until bing a crazed smile, ''''I started from my ss¡­ I appeared out of nowhere, and everyone seemed excited to see me¡­ Except for Oliver and his friends.''''


    ''''Then, I knew¡­ It was him who did this to me!''''


    ''''The teacher came to me, asking if I am alright¡­ I stabbed her¡­ Then, the ss became chaos¡­ I killed all of them¡­''''


    ''''I killed Amanda¡­ Who cried while hugging me, and then finally¡­ Oliver and his friends, they suffered the most¡­''''


    ''''I went to other sses next, continued that trend¡­ Once every third-year died¡­ I went to second and first-year sses¡­''''


    He took a deep breath and continued, ''''Andstly¡­ I killed Alice¡­ She begged me to stop, but I didn''t and slit her throat.''''


    Isaac''s eyes shook in shock. The sinking feeling around his stomach grew. When he nced at his hands, he thought, how could he do such a terrible thing?


    ''''Hahahaha¡­'''' Dark Isaac suddenlyughed and raised his finger, ''''Then¡­ I went to visit my parents¡­ Killed them as well! They weren''t expecting it¡­ Shame that my murder spree had toe to an end. The police were already searching for me.''''


    ''''I stole VR Helmet from Marvin and went into hiding. I brought the same chaos to White Online, and I was soon known as ck Death!''''


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' Hisughter irritated Isaac''s ears.


    Isaac''s face quickly became enraged. He picked up a rock from the ground and circled around him, ''''You are an illusion¡­ You can''t be real.''''


    ''''Hah!'''' Dark Isaac looked at him like a fool, ''''Nothing is an illusion! White Online is real. Everything is real!''''


    ''''How could you¡­ Be so pathetic?'''' Isaac stopped behind him and grabbed Dark Isaac''s dirty dark hair, ''''You are¡­ Not me!''''


    Dark Isaac whipped his head around and showed his dark red tongue, ''''You are right. I am not you. I am ck Death, the one who will bring the world to its knees!''''


    ''''No¡­ You won''t.'''' Isaac raised his arm and smacked the rock into Dark Isaac''s temple!


    Dark Isaac recoiled to the side and crashed to the ground. The skin ruptured and showed half of his skull, ''''Argh, you bastard!''''


    Isaac mounted him and raised his arms. The rock was ced in his clenched hands.


    ''''This is for my family, you f*cking coward!''''


    Crack!


    The first strike broke Dark Isaac''s nose.


    Crack!


    The second strike broke Dark Isaac''s skin.


    Crack!


    Then, the final strike broke Dark Isaac''s skull. The rock pierced through the head and was crammed inside.


    Isaac watched as Dark Isaac stopped moving. Whatever was running inside his veins also died down.


    ''''Haaahh¡­'''' He stood up and stumbled forward for several meters. Before slumping down on the ground, the stairway was only an inch away from him.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Test of Yourself Completed!]


    [3/3]


    Creak!


    A shimmer of light appeared as the stone door creaked open slowly.


    ''''Interface¡­'''' Isaac''s finger hovered in front of the Friend List, and he tapped it gently.


    He sent a message to Marvin, asking if he and the others were alright. Only five secondster, he received a reply.


    Marvin said that everyone was doing good. He knew Isaac like the back of his hand and instantly continued with a concerned question. Was he alright?


    Isaac quickly replied back. Then, he closed the Interface and stood up. He walked down the stairway and reached the open stone door.


    ''''You are not me¡­'''' Isaac was aiming those words at himself. He was trying to ensure himself that he was nothing like Dark Isaac.


    ''''I will show you¡­'''' He stepped inside the room, and the stone door closed behind him.


    The previous cavern became dark, the cracks in the ceiling recovered, and Dark Isaac''s lifeless body became a clump of pixels.

 Chapter 321 Ring Of Commitment.

    "Mmh." Isaac squinted his eyes. The room was immensely dark. He couldn''t see anything or feel anything. After he took a step forward, a light appeared.


    In the middle of the room, there was a stone table and chair. They were carved by a knife. The edges were very sharp and crude.


    At the top of the table was a candle. The candle had a small fire flickering. The area around the table was enveloped in a yellowish hue.


    Ding! Ding!


    A holographic screen emerged from the darkness following the dinging noises and hovered above the table. While the screen sent a bluish light everywhere, the table was shrouded in a warm, honey-like, yellowish shade.


    Isaac grabbed the stone chair''s backrest and dragged it away from the table.


    Screech!


    While dragging, the familiar scratching marks appeared on the stone ground. Isaac used his sleeve and wiped the sweat away. He was starting to get very annoyed.


    He had to do a lot of physical activities and was getting mentally very exhausted.


    The chair was hefty and very difficult to move around. Soon, it was far enough from the table that it could be used to sit.


    "Haahh¡­" Isaac slumped down on the chair and rested his arms on the armrests. He leaned on the hard stone backrest and stared into the empty space.


    He stayed in that position for several minutes before the screen jerked him awake.


    DING!


    "Ah!" The sound was loud enough to rupture eardrums. However, Isaac only felt like someone was pinching his cheek with long nails.


    [Regional Announcement: yer Wraith have achieved First Clear of Hidden Dungeon of Test¡ª Recorded in Stronglord Hall of Fame of Heroes!]

    [Regional Announcement: yer Wraith have achieved First Clear of Hidden Dungeon of Test¡ª Recorded in Stronglord Hall of Fame of Heroes!]


    The yers roaming the forest halted their steps. There was a mix of reactions. Jealousy, awe, surprise, and greed.


    "Whaaa! This will be insane news!" A young journalist with a round head and beautiful blue eyes said with a thrilling look. She was wearing a ponytail with chestnut-colored hair. There was a camera hanging around her neck, and she was wearing an outfit made of leather and wool.


    [Xue''er]


    nk!


    Xue''er snapped a picture of the announcement and was sure that this would be a scoop. yer Wraith was already shown in a bad light because of the Colosseum incident.


    Even though Arthur silenced the haters, they were still not over it. How could they? After witnessing someone growing their head back, who could stay calm after seeing it?


    In the eyes of many, Wraith was immortal.


    She grinned and downloaded that picture to her hard drive. The photos will be waiting on herptop once she logged off. However, she still had more work to do.


    "Hmm¡­ Where could he be?" Her journalist senses tickled when she nced in the direction of the north. A cheeky grin appeared on her face as she began moving forth.


    "yer Wraith, I will get your interview!"


    ¡­


    In the other part of the woods.


    Marvin and his friends were gathered around a dark hole. The hole was wide enough for all of them to fit. But, the gap was pitch dark, and it was unknown how big the fall would be.


    Lionel slowly lowered a rope made from a tree''s bark into the hole. At first, they removed a long section of the bark and then peeled off long strips of fiber. Then, they connected all the peeled strips and had the finished version of a rope in their hands.


    They had to count on Ins to do most of the work. He was a survival expert, after all.


    Soon, the rope made from the tree reached the bottom. Lionel turned to look at his friends, who were loitering around.


    "Alright, wish me luck." He said and prayed toward the sky.


    "Go for it." Derek nonchntly said while enjoying the clear weather.


    "Don''t die," Ins said while ying around with rocks on his palm.


    Niko was leaning against a mountain wall. His eyes were closed, and he didn''t bother replying to Lionel, who was lucky enough to win the rock, paper, and scissors.


    Marvin waved his hand. Then, he continued looking at the messages Isaac sent. He had a sinking feeling in his stomach that something was wrong with the message.


    "What''s up?" Ins finally said after seeing Marvin''s daydreaming demeanor.


    "Hmm¡­ I think Isaac''s message was weird." Marvin pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. He repeated the messages Isaac sent inside his mind.


    Ding! Ding!


    Then, an announcement appeared in the sky.


    [Regional Announcement: yer Wraith have achieved First Clear of Hidden Dungeon of Test. Recorded in Stronglord Hall of Fame of Heroes!]


    "Hahahaha!" Ins let out a peal ofughter and patted Marvin''s shoulders, "See, he is alright. That little fellow is a monster, a f*cking monster!"


    Marvin''s mouth curved upward, and he nodded, "Yeah, you are right."


    Then, he saw Lionel climbing down slowly. His legs were wrapped around the rope while he moved his hands down and kept using that technique to climb down.


    However, it was painfully slow.


    "Hurry up!" Marvin shouted and tossed a rock at him.


    "Ah!" Lionel''s hands almost slipped after getting hit by a rock, "F*ck, I almost fell down!"


    ''''Niko, cut the rope!'''' Marvin shouted with a teasing smile. He stood up and began enjoying the show.


    Lione''s face became pale, "No¡­ You wouldn''t f*cking dare!"


    Niko''s eyes mmed open with a teasing glint seen on them, "Hehe¡­"


    He unsheathed his dagger and stopped next to the rope.


    "No¡­ Niko!" Lionel screamed in horror.


    "Hehe, bye!"


    Crack!


    The rope was cut in half, and Lionel began falling down with a cry of horror.


    ¡­


    Tap! Tap!


    Isaac tapped the table impatiently. He had been waiting for his rewards to show up. But, nothing happened after the announcement of his first clear.

 Chapter 322 Memory Of The Past.

    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac looked at the two items on the table. The first one was a cube-like object. It was in dark blue color, and the texture was very smooth.


    When Isaac touched it the first time, it felt like touching a block of ice. When his hand moved around the cube, it felt like his hand was sliding on ice.


    The second item was something that made Isaac''s heart pound. Two rings with a piece of jewelry on top. The ring itself was in the color of beautiful silver while the jewelry shone like a diamond.


    The way he treated the items was vastly different. He threw the cube inside his inventory and moved rings carefully in his hand.


    He took one of the rings and slowly slipped it into his ring finger. Once the ring was ced, notifications tinged.


    [Ring of Commitment: 1/2]


    [You Need Partner!]


    ''''Partner¡­'''' His eyes turned soft when looking at the ring. He opened his front pocket and slipped the second ring in there.


    Afterward, he closed the front pocket and ensured it won''t fall from there.


    Then, he stood up and blew the candle off. The room returned to its previous darkness.


    Except for a shimmer of lighting from the open stone door. It opened immediately after Isaac received his rewards.


    He stepped out of the room and was greeted by a calm breeze.


    Bam!


    The stone door closed behind him. Once Isaac turned around, trying to feel the stone wall with his hand, he couldn''t feel anything that would suggest there was a door.


    ''''Yawn¡­'''' A long-gathered yawn left his mouth. He sat down on a stump and began to gather his thoughts.


    His mind was a mess. There were simply too many things he had to think about. But, the most noticeable one was the item Dark Isaac talked about.


    He began to massage his temples. Soon, images started to surface in his mind.


    After the snowstorm, there was a heavy feeling on his back. He could remember clearly him strolling forward, almost falling down because of the weight on his back.


    Then, the memories became much fuzzier. The next thing he remembered was his sobbing mother, who was crying her eyes out while hugging him.


    That was only moments after he returned from the forest. Maxwell was standing in the background with a solemn and tearful facade.


    Then, the memories shed. The following image was Maxwell grabbing something from Isaac''s back. Once the item found its way into Maxwell''s arms, the weight on Isaac''s back reduced massively.


    Maxwell''s face showed shock for a split second. Then, the memory became too hazy to remember.


    Isaac''s eyes opened. He was thrown out of the memory line.


    ''''Ahh¡­'''' A tame headache appeared. Isaac massaged his forehead and remembered his father taking the item. He couldn''t see what item it was. But, remembering his face, Maxwell must still have it.


    Crack!


    The quietness of the forest disappeared as the sound of a twig getting snapped in half appeared from the bottom of the slope.


    Isaac turned his head around and saw a beautiful young woman walking up a hill with sweatdrops trailing down her face. She was carrying a camera and seemed rather desperate to get to the top of the hill.


    ''This is not good¡­ I am not in shape to fight.'' Isaac wasn''t sure whether that yer was after his rewards. He took a Teleportation Pearl from his inventory and said, ''''My rented room.''''


    His body became transparent, and soon he disappeared into a bright light.


    Xue''er, who was catching her breath, noticed the bright light, ''''Ah, someone is here! Could it be him?!'''' She increased her pace and soon reached the top of the hill.


    She couldn''t see anything except arge mountain, a stump, a fallen tree, and the steep slope back to where she came from.


    ''''Don''t tell me I walked all the way here for nothing?!'''' She tugged her hair and knelt down on the ground, ''''I am so exhausted¡­ No, don''t give up!''''


    Her fatigued face vanished, and she hopped back to her feet, ''''He must be here!''''


    ''''Wraith? yer Wraith? Don''t be shy, I want to interview you!'''' She began searching for the white-haired youth without knowing that he was long gone.


    ¡­


    Creak!


    Isaac felt his head touching the soft pillow and the rest of his body being wrapped in familiar warmth.


    He sat up and rubbed his forehead. His head still had a throbbing pain. The pain was nonexistentpared to real life, but the headache felt closer to the actual pain.


    He wasn''t sure whether his headache was so bad that it would split his skull in real life. That''s why the current pain was also quite significant.


    Creak!


    Isaac opened the door and left his bedroom. His movements halted when his steps were about to take him to the front door.


    He turned around and saw the empty living room with curtains draped over the windows and the balcony.


    He rubbed his imaginary beard and remembered that he had never used his own living room. Most of the time was spent in his bedroom.


    ''''Right¡­ Maybe I can use that?'''' Isaac''s mouth curved into a smile as a crazy thought appeared in his mind. He opened the inventory and grabbed the cube-like item.


    He bent down and ced it on the ground. Immediately, the cube started glowing.


    Isaac didn''t even blink and watched as the cube merged with the floor. The floor changed color into a dark blue, and soon the coloring began to spread.


    The dry-painted wall also changed colors into a dark blue, and soon the whole room looked significantly different. Isaac thought it would look ugly as the final version, but the room wasn''t bad-looking.


    Quite unique, but the dark-blue fit surprisingly well as a wall color. The floor still looked like it was made from wood, except it was in a different color.


    Isaac knelt down and touched the floor. It felt extremely smooth. He remembered when he touched the cube-like item, and now the whole room felt the same!


    ''''Wow.'''' He was amazed and couldn''t help but smile.


    There were also two screens on the walls. They came with a cube-like item.


    The first screen showed different training sessions. Shooting, fighting, survival, movement, etc.


    While the second screen showed hundreds of different weapons. However, they weren''t real weapons. Instead illusionary.


    ''''Well¡­ This wille to use.'''' Isaac only had two things left to do.


    ''''Interface.'''' He went to assign the stats.


    [STR: 80 -> 100 MAX]


    [SP: 40 -> 20]


    [PRE: 120 -> 140 + 50]

    Once he was done, he scrolled down the interface and tapped the Rankings tap.


    At the bottom of the rankings, his current rank appeared.

 Chapter 323 Lsaac’s Lesson Of Life.

    Creak!


    Isaac slid the chair out from under the table and took a seat. In front of him was the wooden desk with books piled on top. Behind the desk was the window and curtains draped over it.


    The night sky could be seen from the narrow gaps of the curtains. Isaac cherished the sight of shiny stars circling around the sky and therge grayish sphere floating in outer space.


    Isaac rubbed his hands and began to work. He pulled out his phone and opened the screen before going to the settings. He slid his thumb on the screen and saw the Wi-Fi turned on.


    Then, he connected the tiny end of the charger with the charging dock and saw the dimly yellow light appearing. It was the sign that the phone was now charging.


    Once done with that, he ced the phone down on the bed and pulled hisptop from his backpack.


    He ced it in front of him and pressed a side button that turned theptop on. Once the fans became whirling, the dark screen changed, and the starting screen popped up.


    Isaac ced his index finger on the touchpad and moved the mouse cursor till it was on top of a globe-like item. He double-clicked and saw his phone''s model name on top of the list.


    Once he clicked on it, theptop had its Inte connected.


    Crack!


    He cracked his knuckles and opened the Inte Browser. This time, he didn''t do idly surfing. Instead, opened the messaging app and downloaded all the study material Alice sent.


    There were ten pop-ups, and they were filled with words and questions. Isaac ced his hand in front of him and rested his chin on it.


    His face showed boredom while scrolling through the study material. Even though he didn''t seem interested, his eyes skimmed through the text like he was aputer.


    He was always an excellent student and was always at the top of his ss. That was another reason for Oliver''s hate toward him. He tried to best him even once but never could.


    Half an hourter.


    Brr!


    The phone''s light went from yellow to green, and like clockwork, he received a message.


    Isaac took it off the charger, opened the screen, and went to the messaging app.


    [Luna: Hehe, I was curious about the forum and visited it once today. When I was about to leave after seeing the things you warned me about, I saw this image!]


    Below the message was an app of an announcement.


    [Regional Announcement: yer Wraith have achieved First Clear of Hidden Dungeon of Test¡ª Recorded in Stronglord Hall of Fame of Heroes!]


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac was stunned. However, when he thought about it deeper. Usually, news travels fast, and it wasn''t weird for his aplishment to reach the forum.


    When he logged out, he managed to see News Articles of Lord Kalzer getting the First Clear, and he did it half an hour faster than him!


    The difference felt immense. But, Isaac pulled him out of the state of distress and returned to his previous self.


    Isaac began typing a message.


    [Isaac: Lucky, I guess. The news about the event came so suddenly that I don''t think half of the yer base managed to reach Beast Forest before the event began]


    After sending the message, he thought that the conversation was over. Isaac ced the phone back on the desk, his eyes still glimpsing the screen every now and then.


    His heart pounded, and studying was thest thing in his mind. He tapped the desk with his index finger, and after getting impatient, he grabbed the phone and sent another message.


    [Isaac: Luna, would you be interested in going to Brightstar''s Festival next weekend with me?]


    After sending the message, he dropped the phone on the desk and leaned on the backrest.


    ¡­


    Luna was lying on the bed with a book in her hands. She was wearing pink pajamas while having her hair tied in a ponytail.


    Her toes fidgeted out of instincts after reaching an exciting part of the book. She had always enjoyed more action-packed scenes and always felt her heart pounding during those times.


    But, she also liked more rxed scenes with only ML and FL alone and loved the romantic scenes. She always self-inserted herself into the books, hoping that she could one day have a simr romantic experience as FL in her favorite book.


    Brr!


    Then, the phone next to her vibrated. She dropped the book and pulled out the phone.


    She rolled around till she was lying t on her back, ''''Hmm, a message from Isaac?''''


    Her heart suddenly pounded, and she opened the message with a smile. She began reading the message, and once she did it once, her eyes skimmed the text two, three, four, and fifth times.


    ''''Is he¡­ Asking me out for a date?!'''' She sat up with cheeks flushed, but then she pped herself in the cheeks, ''''Dummy, you read too many books¡­''''


    Her fingers hovered in the air, and when she was about to reply with an instant yes, she remembered that it won''t be that easy.


    Luna''s parents and grandparents were very protective. Especially after themotion, she caused in Whitelock Residence. She had a rather embarrassing conversation with her mother, which she would like to forget.


    ''''Mmm¡­ I want to say yes¡­ But, I need to ask from mommy and daddy.'''' She bit her soft pink lips and came to a conclusion.


    She wrote a message and pressed sent.


    [Luna: I need to ask mom and dad first, please wait!]


    ¡­


    Isaac''s finger was resting next to theptop''s touchpad. When he was about to scroll down and continue studying, he stopped because couldn''t concentrate.


    When he thought he wouldn''t receive a reply, the phone vibrated.


    Brr!


    He snatched the phone, and the messaging app was already visible. Once he saw Luna''s reply, he sighed in relief and disappointment.


    Isaac replied. He said that he would be waiting for an answer, and once sent, he closed the screen.


    Bam!


    He closed theptop panel and stuffed it inside his backpack. His eyelids were getting rather heavy, and the sleepiness couldn''t be simply shrugged off.


    Then, he heard a rather strange sound.


    nk!


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac wondered where the sound came from. But, the sound soon continued.


    nk!


    The sound came from a window. Once Isaac moved the curtain out of the way slightly, enough for him to take a peek outside.


    On the other side of metal fences, a group of elegantly dressed teenagers threw rocks at nearby buildings.


    ''''What the hell are they doing?'''' Then, Isaac saw another rocking from a teenager that seemed to be their leader. The rock struck the window and made a tiny crack!


    The crack was tiny enough for the window to stay intact, but it won''t after three or four more rocks.


    nk!


    Isaac opened the window''s lock, and when another rock was already airborne, he lifted the window up and saw the rock flying through the open window andnding right next to hisfy bed.


    The teenagers were surprised at the sight of an open window. They realized they were about to get caught and began to scurry away!


    They split up, the other group going to the left while the other to the right up the slope.


    Isaac bent down and picked the rock up. He went back to the window and looked where the leader of the teenager group was.


    Soon, he found where he was with his excellent eyesight. The leader shared an intimate kiss with his assumed girlfriend while running away with his friends.


    Isaac had seen his kind of type before. Thinking that his actions won''t have consequences and that he could keep his thug act even as an adult.


    Isaac was about to teach him that it won''t be so simple. He rolled the rock around his palm and looked up into the night sky.


    The wind was calm and steady. Isaac moved the rock between his fingers and ced his arm behind him.


    His eyes were following the leader teenagers retreating back, and soon they were about to reach a turn that led to the left. Then, Isaac made his move.


    The throwing was a whole-body activity, and Isaac disyed it to perfection. He rotated his hips and continued with his trunk and shoulder girdle rotation.


    His arm moved like a whip, and once it was overhead, Isaac let go of the rock and watched it as it flew across the beautiful starry sky.


    The rock struck the teenager in the head only short secondster, causing him to fall headfirst on a snow pile.


    Isaac dusted off his hands and closed the window. Then, he moved the curtains and covered the window.

 Chapter 324 Wendigo.

    Next Day, 6:43 PM.


    The sky above Beast Forest shrouded the environment in darkness. Isaac was holding antern with a small fire flickering inside.


    The fire was bright enough to envelop the five-meter radius around Isaac in a yellowish hue. There were yers who were blindly moving in the forest, without any light to assist them, and Isaac used to be part of them.


    Then, he decided to take hisntern everywhere. He never nned to stay in the forest once nighttime came, but it was out of his control.


    He never liked to stay in the forest once the night dawned. But, now, he stayed for one specific reason.

    _____________


    He was only one level away from level 50!


    Isaac had been grinding for the whole day, and the goal he was aiming for was only one kill away!


    That was also why he was currently standing outside a dark cave. Isaac was sure that there was a creature hiding inside.


    He couldn''t tell whether it was a monster or a mindless beast. But, he was sure about one thing.


    Crunch!


    Drip! Drop!


    Again, Isaac heard the same sound as in the past ten minutes. At first, he listened to a sound that sounded like someone was munching on a piece of rock or bone. Then, he heard the sound of water sttering.


    Isaac listened to the sounds closely and knew what he should expect to see in the cave. There was definitely either a waterfall or water pouring down from something. Then, there must also be a creature currently having a feast.


    Before going to the cave, he decided that it would be a good time to assign his stats. He had prolonged it, not knowing where to add, but he couldn''t afford to take risks.


    He would preferably go to the dark cave with four levels higher stats.

    Ding! Ding!


    [Good Precision Lv1 -> Good Precision Lv2]


    [Good Precision Lv2: Improves the shot uracy by 5%]


    "Mm¡­" Isaac rubbed his eyes and then reopened them.


    "Wow¡­" His pupils dted as he gazed at the rocky wall. His eyesight improved so much that he could see insects roaming around the cracks.


    "I am ready¡­" He made sure that the fire won''t suddenly die out. Then, he grabbed the handle into a tight hold and moved thentern in front of him.


    The tiny flickering me sent a ray of light in front of him, and the dark cave wasn''t as unclear anymore.


    Isaac stepped into the cave and began walking forth. The cave walls were made of rock, and the air seemed dry.


    Soon, he reached the end of the path.


    Ssh!


    "Oh?" Isaac felt wetness surrounding his legs and dropped his gaze to look at what did he step on. The cave floor was submerged in water.


    There was water gushing out from a crack in the floor. Soon, the wetness reached Isaac''s knees, and he was sure that it was a matter of minutes before the whole cave was covered in water.


    Ssh!


    He turned around and dragged his feet behind him as he tried to leave. However, then a speck of dustnded on his shoulder.


    Isaac turned his gaze to the cave''s ceiling and became pale in shock. There was a skinny pale-skinned man with a disgustingly long tongue hanging from vines. He didn''t seem to have eaten for ages, the bones almost popping out from his wrinkly skin.


    [Wendigo]


    [Level: 50]


    [HP: 400/400]


    "GRAH!" Out of nowhere, Wendigo dropped from the ceiling and crashed with Isaac, causing them to submerge in the water.


    Ssh!


    Both of them began desperately gasping for air. But, that caused their lungs to get filled with water quickly.


    Isaac''s back crashed with the rocky ground, and he saw the Wendigo squirming around. He was moving his limbs erratically, trying to swim to the surface, but obviously didn''t know how to.


    Isaac moved his arms gently and began to flutter kick. When his head was about to reach the surface, out of nowhere, a bony arm grabbed his leg that dragged him back to the depths of the water.


    "Mmm!" He began slightly panicking. The air from his lungs was quickly seeping out, and it was only a matter of seconds before he would drown.


    Isaac saw the Wendigo holding his leg while trying to take a taste!


    Bam!


    He smashed his foot into the Wendigo''s face and broke something in the process but wasn''t sure what and couldn''t care either.


    The Wendigo removed his hand and sank further away into the cave''s depths.


    Isaac used the chance given to him and swam back to the surface. Once his head popped out from the water, he began greedily inhaling the air into his lungs.


    "Haahh¡­ Haaahh¡­" Once he didn''t feel as drained, he began to swim toward the cave''s exit. The path where he came from was already submerged in water.


    Then, an arm appeared from the underwater and grabbed his leg!


    "What?!" Isaac''s eyes widened in shock, and he was again dragged into the water.


    Once his head was submerged in the water, he could see the crazed Wendigo trying to bite him desperately.


    Then, Isaac mmed both of his hands into the creature''s face, trying to push him away.


    The Wendigo''s head was pushed back. Then, he opened his disgusting jaw and tried to bite Isaac''s ring finger off!


    Isaac quickly pulled his hand back and saw that the Wendigo was aiming for his ring!


    His eyes became red out of anger, and he began mming his fist into the Wendigo''s face. His strikes were made out of pure rage, and soon, it became clear that his attacks were causing significant damage to the creature!


    Update thetest chapter at .Com

 Chapter 325 Level 50.

    The Wendigo wobbled back. His head was caved in, and the long tongue was ripped off!


    Isaac held his enormous tongue in his hand and tossed it away. The tonguended on the water and sank till it touched the bottom.


    "Aaghhh!" The voices Wendigo made became even harder to understand. The blood gushed out of the cracks on his skin and the gaps of his decayed teeth.


    Isaac put his hands behind him. He waited until the Wendigo was done with his screaming. Then, he unstrapped the Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle and spun it around before resting its barrel on the Wendigo''s mouth.


    The Wendigo began munching on the barrel like it was food!


    However, his broken teeth couldn''t pierce the Mythical Weapon.


    Isaac ced his finger on the trigger and pulled the trigger back slowly.


    Bang!


    The bullet drilled through the Wendigo''s skull and made a sizeable hole.


    The light on Wendigo''s eyes dimmed down, and his body stopped moving as he slowly sank deeper into the water.

    ¡­


    Ssh!


    Isaac left the cave with a drenched body. Behind him, the water was still gushing out of the cave.


    Then, he finally noticed that hisntern was missing. He turned around and clicked his tongue at the cave.


    He was definitely not going to search for it. Isaac stood up, tried to dry his clothing, and took the nces at the skills.


    It was gettingte, and he still had a meeting in real life. Isaac carved the names into his memory and logged out.


    ¡­


    Once waking up from his semi-asleep state. Isaac ced the headgear back on the box and hid it inside his wardrobe.


    Then, he sat down on the bed and ced theptop on hisp.


    Tap! Tap!


    The room echoed with a rhythmic tapping sound as Isaac wrote the skills down and downloaded them on his cloud drive. After doing so, the door to his room opened, and Madison appeared with a sly smile.


    ''''Isaac, Luna is here.'''' Her mouth was curved upward as she teasingly said. Her eyes were curled into a pleasant look, and she was delighted that Luna and her grandson were close.


    "Ah, right. I will being soon." Isaac increased the tapping speed and soon finished whatever he was doing.


    Madison had already left and reached the bottom floor shortly afterward. In front of the door was a beautiful ck-haired young woman dressed in a beautiful blue dress with star patterns.


    There was a luxurious-looking purse hanging from her arm. Luna heard the sounding from the stairs and turned around with a smile.


    Madison reached the bottom of the stairs and said, "Isaac will being shortly."


    Luna nodded vigorously and turned her gaze to the second floor. Her eyes showed a glint of happiness.


    Madison smiled and went to the living room, nning to leave the two youngsters alone.


    Soon after, Isaac''s footsteps rang on the second floor as he swiftly descended. He wore a hoodie that covered most of his skin and baggy pants. These clothes made him look rather handsome, especially with his increased height, which reached 177cm!


    Luna waved her hand shyly and met with Isaac at the bottom of the stairs.


    Isaac wrapped his arms around her waist and surprisingly gave her a gentle hug.


    Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!


    Her heart began to pound loudly, and she was sure that it was loud enough for Isaac to hear!


    Luna''s cheeks became pink, and she was about to wrap her arms around Isaac. But then Isaac separated from the hug and crossed his arms, "Did you talk with your parents?"


    "Ah¡­" She shyly pulled her hands back and scratched her soft cheek, "Yes¡­"


    "And?" Isaac had a sinking feeling, and it seemed like her parents didn''t allow her.


    However, Luna smiled and said with excitement, "I am allowed to go with you!"


    "Oh, that''s excellent." Isaac couldn''t hide his smile and was very pleased with the oue.


    But then, Luna sighed and dropped her shoulders, "But¡­ We must have bodyguards trailing us¡­ Sigh."


    "Ah." Isaac massaged his temples. That wasn''t good news. He had gotten used to getting followed by bodyguards, but it didn''t mean he enjoyed it.


    "Umm¡­ Can we talk somewhere?" Luna took a quick nce at the living room and saw Madison sneakily eavesdropping.


    "Ah, yes." Isaac took a step on the stairs but was grabbed from his sleeve by Luna.


    She blushed as she said, "M-My mom doesn''t allow me to go to boy''s rooms anymore."


    "Oh." Isaac wryly smiled and removed his feet from the stairs. Instead, he walked past the stairs and went to the gym.


    Once they reached the empty gym, they sat down and continued their talk.


    "Did you y today?" Luna asked as she sat next to Isaac.


    "Yes, I reached level 50." Isaac smiled. He was very proud of himself.


    "Wow!" Luna''s eyes sparkled, and she felt very happy for him.


    Then, she remembered that she was also a Legacy Carrier but was nothingpared to him. She looked at herself from the window''s reflection and pondered whether Hecate was disappointed in her.


    "Sigh¡­ I have been left behind by others. Hecate must be disappointed." Her shoulders slumped as she shared her thoughts.


    "Don''t say that." Isaac shook his head and knew that Hecate must have a good reason for choosing her, "I am sure she had her reason¡­ The Gods and Goddesses aren''t stupid."


    After gettingforted by him, Luna couldn''t help but smile. She shifted her body closer to him and whispered, "Yeah, you must be right!"


    They continued talking for another half an hour. Then, when the time reached 8 pm, Mariah and Sin came to pick her up.


    Before leaving, Luna gave another hug for Isaac and whispered words of gratitude. Then, she left with flushed cheeks, and Isaac received a stinky eye from her father, who saw his daughter blushing like a young girl in love.


    Once they left, Isaac returned to his room and began to think about what skill to choose.

 Chapter 326 Odin’s Legacy.

    Three Days Later, Thursday Morning.


    A warm breeze of wind went through the beautifulnd of Summend. The Citizens had slightly tanned skin that made them look significantly different from Wintend''s pale-skinned residents.


    The bright yellow orb in the sky caused everyone to sweat buckets. The citizens in the streets were forced to wear as few clothes as possible. They weren''tpletely naked, but men walked shirtless, while the women mostly wore bikinis.


    The beaches were full of youthful teenagers and beautiful adults. The water sent calm waves to the shores, and children yed in the water with a peal of cheerfulughter.


    The sight was very heartwarming and rxing.


    Even though the streets and beaches were full. The houses were full also. Most of them had air conditioners working on full power as most of the residents were wearing VR Helmet with their bodies being unmoving.


    In the streets, a truck drove past the busy streets. The driver was wearing light clothing consisting of a t-shirt and shorts. He was wearing sandals as he stepped harder on the gas pedal.


    The truck left the busy streets and reached an open neighborhood full of mansion-like buildings. There were beautiful women, and handsome men gathered around a swimming pool in the backyard of almost every residence.


    The driver gazed at them before turning his gaze back to the road. Soon, he turned the steering wheel and reached the yard of the enormous mansion.


    The mansion was easily thergest one in the neighborhood. The yard was filled with lush grass, flowers, and bushes. In the backyard was a swimming pool with chairs and swimming equipment.


    Currently, on one of the top floor''s windows. A man in his 20s with short raven-colored hair, a handsome round-shaped face, and almond eyes was standing in front of the open window.


    The room he was standing in was spacious, with posters of different kinds of Gods nailed on the wall. There was a bed with a Legendary VR Helmetying on top and a metallic desk with an office chair slid under it.


    "Haahh¡­" He ran his hand over his hair and left his room.


    Soon, he reached the living room, where his family was waiting.


    His father was a stoic-looking man with short dark hair and a handsome face. He looked like someone who wasn''t fond of jokes or anything that wasn''t serious.


    He opened his mouth once he saw his son arriving, "Kalzer, what level did you reach?"


    Lord Kalzer nodded at his mother and siblings, who didn''t look back at him. Only his mother replied with a gentle nod.


    His siblings looked at him with a stinky eye and a tinge of jealousy.


    Lord Kalzer sat next to his mother, who shifted her body to make space for her precious son.


    "80." He replied.


    His father grimaced, "Not good enough!"


    Lord Kalzer sighed and nodded, "I understand¡­"


    His mother''s mouth curved downward. She knew how hard his son was working, but her husband was never satisfied.


    Lord Kalzer''s dad snorted, crossed his arms, and turned around to look at the slightly open door.


    The truck driver appeared from the front door while carrying a cardboard box in his arms.


    He ced it on top of the table. The truck driver pulled out a pocket knife and cut it open.


    Once doing so, he pocketed the knife and turned around to address the man of the house, "Sir Arthur said that this is the only Mythical Helmet that is allowed for your family. Choose who will have the honor to use it, and write it down."


    He pulled out a touchscreen phone from his pocket and gave it to Lord Kalzer''s father.


    "Hmph." He took it with a rude gesture and wrote Lord Kalzer''s name down. Once done, he gave it back to the truck driver and motioned for him to get out of his house.


    The truck driver pocketed the items and left without saying a word.


    Lord Kalzer opened the cardboard box and saw another box inside. It was a smooth ck box. Then, he opened that as well and saw a headgear.


    "Failure isn''t an option." His father stood up and said sternly, "Odin already chose you as his Legacy Carrier, and you haven''t done anything to use that to your advantage!"


    Lord Kalzer''s mouth twitched, "Father¡­ Address him as God Odin."


    "Excuse me?!" His father snapped and grabbed his son from the cor, "You dare to speak to me like that?"


    Lord Kalzer''s eyes didn''t change. He slowly dropped his gaze and let his father shake him around.


    Soon, his father had enough of yelling. His finger trembled as he pointed at him, "Get an audience with Odin, no matter how! Just do it!"


    He left with loud stomping noises. Even when he reached the third floor, Lord Kalzer and everyone present could still hear him.


    His mother sadly smiled and hugged his son before leaving the living room.


    Then, his siblings left without speaking a word to him.


    Lord Kalzer hugged the box in his arms and returned to his room.


    When he reached his room, he took the headgear from the box and copsed on the bed.


    Then, he positioned the headgear around his face and pressed a button on the side.


    "Oh!" Lord Kalzer eximed after the ck skinsuit covered his whole body. He moved his limbs around and felt surprisingly refreshed.


    The warm weather didn''t bother him anymore. His mouth curved into a small smile. Then, the visor began to show texts.


    Lord Kalzer''s eyes scanned the text with great interest, and he felt finally ready to enter the game.


    "White Online¡­ Here Ie!"


    "Enter!"


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Good Luck, Son of Allfather!]


    [Game: White Online - Status: Incredible!]


    [Wee to the World of Legacies!]


    [World of White Wees You, Legacy Carrier!]


    ...


    "Haaahh..." Lord Kalzer let out a satisfying breath. The breath left his lungs way smoother than ever before.


    He was currently sitting in front of a worn-out table with a cracked building. Everyone had been trying to find out the location of the legendary Lord Kalzer, searching every City throughout.


    But, none of them could have guessed that his spawn spot was on this dpidated building. He chose it because it was right in the middle of the forest.


    It was a dreame true for anyone fond of grinding XP. He could take a simple step outside and would find animals to kill within minutes!


    That was the secret to his rapid leveling-up speed. He was basically doing nothing except hunt animals and monsters!

 Chapter 327S Tart Of The Festival.

    ''''What to wear¡­'''' Isaac scratched his head while skimming through the wardrobe''s clothing selections. Today was the day of the festival, and it was something he and Luna had waited for the whole week.


    The past week was rtively sessful for Isaac. He went to proper grind like Simo suggested and reached level 71!


    In the rankings, his name kept rising, which even attracted attention from the forums.


    His current rank was 967. The rankings shuffle quite a lot, and Isaac usually found his rank fallen by hundreds of spots every time he woke up.


    But, he grinded XP for the rest of the day and increased his rank more than he lost.


    Before sleeping, he talked with Luna, and he became more active in trying to disy her feelings. He wasn''t sure whether she had figured it out yet.


    Isaac noticed that even though she was fond of romance books, Luna was amateur when it came to such things.


    She was very innocent when it came to the feelings of the opposite sex, and that made Isaac change his ns.


    His heart pounded as he gazed at the different clothes. The weather was warm, which allowed him to choose something light to wear.


    Soon, he pulled out a long-sleeved shirt in the color of light gray and straight pants. Once he changed to them, he looked at his reflection in the mirror and began to alter his hairstyle.


    In the mirror, an immensely handsome youth with a knack for charming was standing with his hand running over his hair.


    ''''Damn it¡­'''' In his eyes, he couldn''t see the handsome youth. Instead an unconfident high-school student.


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' He rested his hands on the sink and began to gasp for air. There was a sign of fear in his movements. When he closed his eyes, only the memories of his failed romantic experience with Amanda surfaced.


    Then, Luna''s face appeared. Isaac''s eyes slowly opened, and the youth in the mirror became clearer to him. If he was before more beautiful than the majority of girls, now, he was handsome enough to snap his fingers, and girls would follow after him.


    He moved his fingers to the corners of his mouth and pulled them upward, trying to form a smile.


    ''''Yeah¡­ I can do this.'''' Isaac stepped out of the bathroom and kicked the door shut.


    Bam!


    He took his jacket and carried it under his armpit as he left the room. Soon, he found himself on the first floor, where his grandparents were waiting.


    Madison pulled out a napkin from her pocket and began wiping an imaginary tear, ''''My dear grandson is about to be taken away from me.''''


    Malcolm wryly smiled and patted his wife''s frail shoulder.


    ''''Haaahh¡­'''' Isaac sighed deeply. He had gotten teased by his grandparents the whole week. But that was fine with him. They got closer that way.


    ''''We are only friends,'''' Isaac said with a forced smile.


    ''''Sure¡­'''' Madison and Malcolm didn''t believe one bit.


    Creak!


    The front door opened, and Sebastian appeared with car keys hanging from his index finger, ''''Miss Snowflower had arrived.''''


    Madison and Malcolm patted Isaac''s shoulder as they walked past him.


    Isaac fixed his cor and left the mansion. Then, his gaze reached the car and saw the beautiful young woman next to it.


    Luna''s round eyes were shimmering with happiness as her face showed signs of light make-up. She was dressed in light winter clothing, and underneath she was wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt and tight pants.


    They greeted each other with smiles, and Isaac opened the car door, allowing Luna to enter, before following after.


    They sat next to each other in the backseat, and Sebastian began driving the car out of the yard.


    Soon, the car left the Layer of Nobility, and it didn''t take long for them to reach the Layer of Tourism.


    The car took them to the center of the Layer of Tourism, where the festival was held. It was big enough for nobles to visit, and the streets were packed with people of different statuses.


    The scent of the food wafted through the air. Even aspiring Chefs from Layer of Feasting came to have their own share of fun at the festivals.


    Sebastian stopped the car around the start of the streets, where the crowded area starts. The whole three-kilometer-long area was part of the festivals. It told a lot about how big the festival indeed was.


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac shook hands with Sebastian and left the car with Luna.


    Then, the car left, leaving the two of them alone.


    Isaac searched around them, trying to find where their bodyguards were lurking. However, couldn''t find them anymore. It was as expected. They were, after all, strong enough to Assassinate someone without them even noticing they were ever there.


    ''''Where should we go?'''' Luna moved closer to Isaac as the streets began crowding with more and more people.


    ''''Have you eaten yet?'''' Isaac asked. He was too busy deciding what clothes to choose andpletely forgot eating.


    Luna''s cheeks flushed, and she covered her face with her purse. She was too embarrassed to say that she spent the entire morning to put the make-up. She had already decided what clothes to choose a few days prior.


    She shook her head and moved her purse out of the way for Isaac to see her now ordinary shaded cheeks.


    Isaac nodded and offered a hand, ''''Should we?''''


    Luna looked at the hand for several seconds before grabbing it firmly, ''''Y-Yes!''''


    They began walking and chose a path with fewer people but were still very packed. They had to walk with their shoulders touching each other; otherwise, it was impossible to walk hand-to-hand.


    There were many who noticed them. Their height difference was already noticeable. Isaac stood at a decent 177cm, while Luna was on the shorter side, 165cm.


    They were also two very attractive individuals. Both of them attracted members of the opposite sex. However, they couldn''t do anything except sigh in resignation as they saw their hands locked in a lover''s hold.


    Soon, they reached a building which was named Breakfast Room. It was rather basic, but it attracted a lot of crowds.


    They managed to find a table and ordered food.


    Once their breakfast had arrived on the table, they began eating while sharing some idle chitchat.


    Isaac kept thinking about what they should do during breakfast, and one ce always popped up in his memory.


    Luna was enjoying her time while stuffing tiny pieces into her mouth. She didn''t care what they did. She was already enjoying it immensely and had great expectations of what was about to happen.


    Update thetest chapter at .Com

 Chapter 328 Festival’s Event (1)

    Isaac and Luna stepped out of the Breakfast Room after eating their bellies full and paying for their food.


    After taking the first steps on the streets, they noticed how crowded the ce had be. There wasn''t enough space for the cars to move on the roads because the sidewalks were too full, causing others to walk on car roads.


    "I didn''t expect the festival to be so popr," Luna said while locking her hands with Isaac''s. They began to walk down the crowded streets, and soon she found out that Isaac seemed to have a destination in mind.


    When the streets began to split, Isaac slipped the phone out of his pocket and opened a Maps App.


    At first, he zoomed in, and the ces of the name popped up. He used his thumb and began moving around the map and soon found the ce where he was nning to take Luna to.


    He tapped the screen, and the directions began to show. Then, Isaac skimmed through the path with his eyes and found a shortcut to reach the ce.


    He pocketed the phone, left the sidewalk they were walking on, and entered an alleyway.


    Luna was curiously walking after and saw the end of the alleyway. They entered another street, and it was even more crowded!


    Instead of the crowd going in different directions, they were all walking toward the same building.


    She curiously tip-toed and managed to see over the sea of people and saw a stadium-like building in the distance.


    There were lights shing, and the sound of music rumbled.


    "What is this? A concert?" She curiously looked at Isaac and only saw his handsome smile. Her cheeks flushed as her vision became slightly hazy.


    Isaac led her past the crowd of people, and only half an hourter, they entered the stadium.


    It was a free event, and everyone could enter as long there were seats avable.


    Soon, they reached the stands and looked around for avable seats. Then, they saw two empty seats right next to each other.


    They walked up the stairs and reached the row of stairs where their seats were.


    "Excuse me," Isaac said while moving past two elderly figures who were already seated. They were only a few seats away from theirs.


    The elders gently smiled and pulled their legs back to allow the two youngsters to pass.


    Luna smiled at them and soon reached their seats. When they were about to stand down, they noticed something on the chairs.


    There were two ck touchscreen phones. Luna at first thought that someone had forgotten them and that seats were upied.


    However, Isaac looked around and saw everyone holding the same phone. Everyone tried different methods to open the screen but weren''t sessful.


    He grabbed the phone and sat down. Luna followed his example and did the same. She soon noticed that everyone was holding the same phone, making her curious about what was in it.


    Isaac, at first, tried to open it by simply pressing a tiny button on the side. It did nothing. Then, he tried moving his finger across the touchscreen, but that did nothing.


    "Maybe it is broken?" Luna spoke her mind out. Even though her theory was very far-fetched.


    "Not sure." Isaac pocketed the assumed broken phone and scouted the ce of the event.


    There was arge tform stationed in the middle of the stadium. Arge screen and twenty chairs were ced around it.


    There were also twenty VR Helmets sitting on top of the chairs!


    Isaac saw Luna''s baffled look and decided to tell her what the event was, "This is an event for White Online. Apparently, there will be ten events total, and this is only the first."


    "Wow!" Luna eximed. She didn''t expect it and thought it was some kind of showcase of VR Helmets.


    Cheers!


    Out of nowhere, the crowd began cheering. Isaac and Luna turned their heads toward the tform.


    A tall and handsome man with short ck hair, a dainty nose, and well-defined facial features appeared. He was waving his hand as he made his way over to the tform.


    Once he took his first steps on the tform, he seized a microphone from a nearby chair and opened his mouth, "Wee, everyone!"


    Cheers!


    The cheers became even louder. The young women screamed their hearts out with flushed cheeks.


    Isaac heard the nearby conversation, and apparently, the man was a popr idol. However, neither he nor Luna had ever heard of him.


    The handsome idol calmed down the crowd and continued, "The first event is a speedrun toplete a dungeon."


    Before the crowd could go crazy, he said, "There will be ten duos, and the winner gets a special trophy. It is a fun event, so there won''t be any money prize, except you can brag to your friends."


    He gave a tiny chuckle, and the loud cheers followed after that.


    "Since the event was made for everyone to enjoy their time." He raised his finger and smiled, "There won''t be anything fighting-rted, but it doesn''t mean it won''t be exciting."


    "You must have already noticed it. Every seat had a seemingly broken phone, but it isn''t."


    Snap!


    He snapped his fingers, and every phone beeped before the screen turned on. The phone screen had word registration and a fingerprint.


    "Since there are thousands and thousands of people here, everyone can''tpete. It will be a lottery, and lucky duos will be part of the event."


    "You and your duo, ce your finger at the finger scanner in one of the phones."


    Isaac and Luna looked at each other. Theymunicated with their eyes and nodded.


    The nearby audience members were already paired with their friends, family members, or lovers.


    The ones who came alone tried desperately to find a partner, but it was easier said than done.


    Isaac pulled out the phone and saw that the screen had turned on. He pressed his finger on it, and his name popped up on the screen.


    [Isaac Vayne Whitelock]


    He gave the phone to Luna, who did the same, and her name popped up on the screen.


    On therge screen of the tform, the number of registered duos began climbing rapidly.


    Update thetest chapter at .Com

 Chapter 329 Festival’s Event (2)

    ''''Alright!'''' The handsome idol had confirmed that everyone who nned to register had already registered. There were a few depressed-looking guys in the crowd that couldn''t find a duo, and they never thought about pairing with others like them.


    He, however, couldn''t care about them and pointed at therge screen, ''''Alright, the lottery shall begin!''''


    There were thousands of names on the screens, and they began shuffling around. Every minute, one duo was chosen. Once the duo was selected, they stood up from their chairs amid loud pping noises.


    Then, the second duo was chosen. It was a pair of a rather ugly woman with unkempt hair and face filled with make-up. Her partner was her boyfriend, who was a bulky man with bald hair and an arrogant look.


    They pushed past the audience members, who were about to give them more space to move around, but didn''t make it in time and were pushed to the side by the bulky man.


    His girlfriend smugly followed after, giving a look of disdain toward the people who got pushed to the side.


    The ps they received were much lesser amount. Everyone with eyes could tell that they were very bad-natured.


    After reaching the tform, they grabbed the VR Helmets and sat down. The handsome idol pulled out his napkin and wiped his sweat before continuing.


    Soon, the third duo was chosen. Then, a minuteter, the fourth duo was.


    Isaac and Luna stayed silent. After another duo was chosen, they let out a sigh of disappointment.


    Then, the ninth duo was chosen, and it wasn''t them. They pped and watched as another pair went toward the tform.


    Only one duo left. Isaac and Luna locked their hands. Their hearts pounded as the clock ticked down.


    Soon, the minute had passed, and the final duo was chosen.


    The final pair was revealed on therge screen.


    [Isaac Vayne Whitelock & Luna Moon Snowflower]


    ''''Yeah!'''' Luna raised her right hand and screamed out of excitement.


    Isaac smiled and stood up from the chairs. They were greeted by long apuse and cheers from the audience.


    While Luna was waving her hand and garnering more cheers, Isaac led her and walked down the long flight of stairs.


    Soon, they reached the tform, and the cheers were still echoing in the stadium.


    The handsome idol was already waiting for them. He pointed at the two remaining seats and said, ''''Please, sit down and wear the VR Helmet. The event is about to begin.''''


    They sat down and ced the VR Helmet around their heads. Only then they separated their locked hands.


    Isaac felt rather ufortable wearing the VR Helmet after getting used to the headgear. He also noticed that the Helmet he was wearing was only bronze ranked.


    The handsome idol raised his microphone and yelled loudly, ''''The event begins!''''


    ¡­


    Isaac''s eyes fluttered open. He was standing in front of a long corridor made of rocks. Neen figures were formed out of light particles.


    Every duo was standing in front of one of the paths. Everyone was wearing the familiar newbie gear.


    ''''Ah, what the fuck is this?!'''' The rude bulky man screamed hoarsely. He tried to move his limbs around and felt sluggish. Even moving his toes felt like a chore.


    ''''F*cking Bronze Helmets, they are for poor fuckers like you all!'''' He pointed at everyone present and received many stinky eyes but couldn''t care less.


    His girlfriend pushed her chest forward and smugly looked around her. Then, she saw a beautiful ck-haired girl giggling while chatting with a white-haired youth.


    Her looks made her immediately irritated, ''''Hmph, what an ugly bitch.''''


    She said with enough volume for the ck-haired girl to hear.


    Luna turned her head and saw the ugly woman looking straight at her. At that moment, she knew that those words were aimed at her.


    She touched her cheek and felt immediately self-conscious. Luna''s body shuddered as she thought that hundreds of eyes were locked on her, and the words ugly rang in her mind.


    When the tears weren''t far from falling, Isaac snapped his head toward the rude woman and spat out angrily, ''''You should keep your dog on a leash.''''


    He aimed those words at the bulky man.


    ''''How dare you?!'''' The bulky man screamed with anger while the rude woman took a step back out of shock. Her face became red out of anger, and she began whispering to her boyfriend.


    Luna felt shocked at Isaac''s words. She had never heard him talking like that, and it made her heart pound because he spoke like that because of her.


    ''''Tch.'''' Isaac clicked his tongue and grabbed Luna''s hand before entering the path.


    That was the signal for everyone to woke up from their stupor. They were too concentrated on the drama and didn''t notice that the event had begun!


    While walking in the dimly lit corridors, Luna slowed her pace beforepletely stopping. She buried her face in her hands, ''''I am so sorry¡­''''


    ''''Hmm, why?'''' Isaac stopped and saw her slowly raising her head with tears about to emerge from the corner of her eyes.


    ''''Those two¡­'''' She bit her lip and felt anger. Luna doesn''t remember when she hadst time felt anger, but now she couldn''t help it.


    She never hated anyone and usually got along with everyone. But, the way the rude woman looked at Isaac made her angry.


    She showed flirtatious gazes toward Isaac whenever her boyfriend didn''t notice. Isaac didn''t see it, but Luna did.


    She saw the same looks be directed at him previously, but she felt chills whenever the rude woman''s eyes were locked on him. Her eyes were full of lust, which made Luna want to hug Isaac and never let go.


    ''''Don''t bother with them.'''' Isaac thought that she talked about the insults. However, there was more to it.


    Luna bit her lip and nodded. They locked their hands and continued walking.


    Soon, they reached the end of the path and came face-to-face with a long rock wall!


    Isaac raised his head and clicked his tongue. At the top of the rock wall was a shimmer of light. There was a room, but they would have to climb the wall to get there.


    Update thetest chapter at .Com

 Chapter 330 Festival’s Event (3)

    Isaac trailed his finger on the rocky wall. He felt a few holes and bumps that could be used to climb.


    "Sigh¡­" Luna moved her palm around the rocky wall. However, her face showed ack of interest. Her mind was a mess, and most of the time, her head turned in the direction of Isaac.


    She opened her mouth before closing it again and turning her head away. Then, she shook her head and continued on finding a way to reach the top.


    "I think I found a way." Isaac''s voice caught Luna''s attention. She moved closer to him and listened attentively.


    He raised his head and skimmed through all the positions of the holes. He positioned his palms in front of him and was currently standing in the center of the rock wall.


    The holes were perfectly ced to use as handhold and foothold. However, the hard part was at the end of the rock wall. The holes end, reced by bumps.


    The bumps were at somewhat random ces, and it required excellent athletic abilities to manage to grab them.


    ''I can do it¡­ But, what about Luna?'' Isaac rubbed his imaginary beard and began to think. Luna probably didn''t have much experience in the field of sports. She was diagnosed with Winter Illness, which hindered her from having a normal childhood.


    Luna tilted her head after seeing him looking at her. Soon, she realized why. When she looked at the rock wall, she also saw the path.


    "Ah, you don''t have to worry about me!" She pulled her sleeves up and showed her soft arms without any signs of muscle.


    "Alright¡­" Isaac wasn''t very assured but had another idea, "I will climb first, then you do it."


    "Alright!" Luna nodded vigorously. She had zero intention of being a hindrance and wanted to do her own part of the work. Since she was a child, she had been taken care of because her body was weak since birth.


    Her clenched fist tensed and suddenly tugged Isaac''s sleeve.


    "Hmm?" Isaac was about to begin the climbing but suddenly felt his sleeve being yanked back. He saw Luna biting her soft lip as she grabbed the holes in the wall and began to climb.


    Isaac''s eyes widened for a split second. Then, he ced himself below Luna, ready to catch her if she fell.


    Luna, at first, began climbing slowly. Then, her pace began gradually quickening. The rock wall was, in total, 15 meters tall.


    The hard part begins from 12 meters onward.


    She quickly passed the easy part and soon reached the 12-meter mark. Luna''s limbs trembled, and she nced below her out of instinct. That was a mistake on her part.


    She was the big fall that could be ahead if her hold slipped.


    Her face paled, and her hold almost loosened. Isaac raised his arms but then saw the ck-haired girl bncing her body forth, which kept her from falling.


    He slowly lowered his arms and began smiling.


    Luna slowly removed her left hand from thest hole in the wall and began reaching for the bump. It was at an awkward angle, forcing her to lean forward with only her toes staying on the holes.


    Grab!


    She grabbed the bump and felt a wave of relief washing over her. She moved her right hand and caught the same spot. Then, she raised her legs and put them in the same ce where her hands were earlier.


    There was only a one-meter leap left. She tip-toed and barely managed to grab thest remaining bumps. Her exhaustion was catching up with sweatdrops trickling down her attractive face.


    She couldn''t help but smile after getting a hold of the bumps. Then she moved her legs to the first bump and did a short jump to reach the top of the wall. She carefully used her arms to pull her up, and soon, she found herself lying on the rocky ground.


    She made it, and she couldn''t believe it. That was perhaps the greatest achievement in her life, and her veins were still pumping adrenaline into her body.


    Then, a short minuteter, Isaac arrived with a drenched forehead. The climbing took a heavy toll on him, but he was much faster.


    Hey on the ground, right next to Luna''s fatigued figure. Their hands inched closer to each other before locking their hands into a tight grip.


    "Haahh¡­ Good job." Isaac closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling of relief washing over him.


    Luna''s eyes opened with a smile painted on her face. Then, she saw the room they were in. There was a single door and a gasmp on top of a square-shaped table.


    There was a timer on the door that was slowly ticking down.


    [0:49¡­]


    [0:48¡­]


    "Kyaa, Isaac, there is a timer!" Luna instantly knew that they would fail if the timer reached zero.


    Isaac''s eyes mmed open, and he jumped to his feet. They reached the door and tried to open it, but the doorknob didn''t even budge.


    Then, a question appeared out of thin air.


    [A man calls his dog from the opposite side of the river. The dog crosses the river without getting wet and without using a bridge or boat. How?]


    "A quiz?" Luna''s exhausted face couldn''t believe it. After defying odds and climbing to the top. They were about to fail because of a quiz.


    Isaac nced at the timer and saw that they only had 40 seconds remaining!


    Thud.


    Luna fell down on her knees and wrapped her arms around herself. Her body shook, and she didn''t dare look at Isaac''s eyes. The feeling of regret assaulted her feeble mind.


    If she were faster and if she noticed the timer quicker¡­ The different scenarios went through her mind. What could have she done differently?


    Then, Isaac''s warm handnded on her soft hair, causing her to jolt in surprise. Her teary eyes turned toward him, and a rush of emotions went through her mind. Her heartbeat quickened, and her mind became empty.


    Isaac smiled and turned toward the clock that reached the twenty-second mark, "The river was frozen."


    Ding! Ding!


    Creak!


    The timer stopped and the door opened with a loud screeching creak.


    Luna''s body shook. She watched as the door slowly opened, showing another room with arge bed, bookshelves, a desk, carpet, and mirror. There weren''t windows or any way out except the door.


    She slowly stood up and wrapped her arms around Isaac''s waist as she pressed her body tightly onto his.


    Isaac shifted his gaze and saw her blushing face. His eyes became hazy, and he had to turn his gaze back to the room to erase his unusual thoughts.


    "Let''s continue... Shall we?"


    Then, she hugged him tighter and rested her head on his shoulder. She let out a giggle and buried her face in his shoulder, not daring to show her face that was dyed in pink.

 Chapter 331 Festival’s Event (4)

    Bam!


    The door closed behind them after entering the second room. While the first room was rtively crude, the second room was theplete opposite. It was veryfy and warm.


    Luna smiled as she looked around the room. There was a bookshelf crammed with books. A bed with a nket neatly draped over it. A wooden deck and chair slid under it.


    There was also a gasmp on top of the desk, and there was a zing fire inside it. It was the sole reason the room was warm and bright.


    Then, there was quite an unusual mirror. It was framed with golden edges and looked fancier than the rest of the room.


    Ding! Ding!


    [You have three minutes to find the exit!]


    Luna''s smile froze, "Ahh, again, timer!"


    She clenched her fist and made a promise in her mind. She would definitely find the exit and help Isaac!


    While Luna was chasing around for any clues, Isaac saw the unusualness of the mirror. The fanciness of it was the first thing that caught his eye. The next thing was much more significant.


    Isaac took a step forward and entered the mirror''s line of sight. The mirror didn''t invert his movements. Instead, it copied his moves perfectly.


    His lip curved into a slight smile, ''Whoever made this escape room wasn''t that smart¡­ Was this nned for kids?''


    After basically being sure where the exit was, Isaac decided to have a little bit of fun. He sat on the bed and watched as Luna anxiously moved the books back, hoping to find a secret door.


    Hey down and asked, "Luna, should we take a nap?"


    Luna''s body froze and soon reacted with a shy tone, "S-S-Silly, it is no time for games!" She shook her head, trying to get out of the funny thoughts of her mind.


    Isaac smiled and stood up from the bed. He stopped next to her and grabbed a book from the front of her face.


    She curiously turned her head and saw Isaac smashing the book into the mirror.


    Crash!


    The book went straight through the mirror, and a secret pathway appeared. Isaac tossed the book away and smiled at Luna, whose cheeks were swollen.


    Isaac felt his fingers itching. He would want to pinch her cute cheeks, but that would be rather rude.


    They crawled inside the path, and several minutester, they reached the exit.


    "Ah!" Isaac crashed to the ground after reaching the end of the path. The ground was further away than he anticipated. Then, Luna followed in his footsteps and fell down as well.


    Bam!


    "Ugh!" Lunanded right on top of his stomach. Her hair fell right on his face, and their noses were only inches away from touching.


    She was mounted right on top of him, and their current posture looked rather suggestive.


    "I-I am sorry, are you alright?" Luna''s first thought was to ask if he was alright. She hadn''t noticed their position.


    Isaac nodded. dly, they were in the game and couldn''t feel any pain. Then, he noticed their current position and saw Luna beingpletely oblivious.


    She was blinking, scanning his face from head to toe, her gaze lingering around his lip for a short period of time.


    "Ahem." Isaac''s cough attracted her attention. Her eyebrow rose, and then she noticed that she was very close to him.


    When she straightened her back, she noticed that their posture was very simr to one of the scenes she had read recently. It didn''t take long for her to spring into her feet with cheeks dyed pink.


    Isaac patted the dust off and slowly stood up. Then, he heard the sound of the door opening. Both of them turned their gazes toward the sound and grimaced simultaneously.


    A bulky man with the rude woman entered the room. The first thing they noticed was the ck-haired young woman and the white-haired man.


    "Hah, look who it is." The bulky man cracked his knuckles and reeled in his fist before punching forth!


    "Ah¡­" Luna''s face paled, and saw the punch nearing Isaac''s face.


    "Grr!" Isaac crossed his arms in X-formation and was ready to block the punch. Then, an invisible wall surrounded both pairs.


    "Argh!" The bulky man pulled his hand back and saw his hand being broken but couldn''t feel any pain.


    [Fighting is forbidden!]


    The notification popped up in front of them.


    "Tch, lucky bastard!" The bulky man decided to use his words than violence to taunt the white-haired youth.


    "All muscle, no brain. Are you human or rabid dog?" Isaac''s words cut deep into the bulky man''s heart. Those words hurt his ego more than any punch could.


    While they were having a battle of words. Luna looked at the rude woman. They locked gazes, and while Luna flinched and took a step back, the woman grinned and showed her yellowed teeth.


    She motioned with her mouth, ''Ugly¡­ Bitch.''


    Before, Luna would have taken another step back. But now, she clenched her fist and stepped forth, "I-I-It''s not nice to insult someone. B-But, now I will make an exception."


    "Oh?" The rude woman looked rather amused. She stopped in front of the invisible wall and said, "Well then, try to me insult me, or are you unable of doing so, you b-i-t-c-h."


    Luna bit her lip. Then she put her hands on the waist and opened her tiny mouth, "I don''t need to insult you."


    The rude woman was about tough, but then Luna continued.


    "Y-Y-Your face is one all by itself." Luna''s ears became red as she spoke aloud her first-ever insult.


    The woman''s face froze.


    Isaac opened his mouth agape. He turned to look at her and saw Luna hiding her face out of shyness.


    The bulky man''s jaw dropped.


    The whole room was filled with silence. No one spoke a word, and that continued for a while.


    Then, the notification rang.


    [Survive for 1 minute, good luck!]


    After the notification, water started spraying out from the holes in the ceiling!


    They didn''t notice the holes because they were too busy insulting each other.


    Once their bodies were submerged inside the water, the timer began ticking down.


    The bulky man and the rude woman began waving their limbs with erratic movements. They were panicking, and all rational thoughts were erased from their minds.


    Luna was also slightly panicking. She was anxiously looking around, trying to find Isaac, but she could barely keep her eyes open.


    Isaac was the only one who stayed calm. He could easily survive 1 minute without breathing, but Luna couldn''t.


    Soon, he came to a conclusion and swam toward Luna. He grabbed her shoulder and turned her around to face him.


    Luna stopped moving around and slowly opened her eyes. Then, he noticed Isaac''s face closing in.


    Her heart began pounding, and then she felt his lips touching hers. Soon, she felt her lungs filling with more air. However, she was barely concentrating on it.


    The only thing filling her mind was the soft lips, and she began slowly savoring the taste.

    Gurgle¡­


    Slowly, the bulky man and the rude woman turned into pixels. The timer was still ticking down, and soon it reached the 50-second mark. Only ten seconds were remaining.


    While the timer was ticking down slowly. Isaac and Luna hugged with eyes closed and lips connected. Their drenched clothes hugged their bodies, and the warmth oozing from their bodies was getting shared by each other.


    Then, the one-minute mark was reached. The water was sucked inside the holes. Isaac and Luna fell to the ground with their wet hair covering most of their faces.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac grunted in pain and coughed out the water that infiltrated his mouth.


    Cough! Cough!


    Luna patted her chest as she coughed out a mouthful of water. Once all the water was gone, shey t on her stomach and hid her face.


    The tip of her earlobes was dyed in red, and the color reached to her cheeks.


    Isaac knelt on the ground and moved the strands of wet hair out of the way. He gasped for air and noticed the tip of his fingers turning illusionary.


    The same thing happened with Luna. Both of their bodies were slowly turning into pixels. Soon, both of them disappeared.


    ¡­


    Cheers!


    Isaac''s eyes fluttered, and the first thing he heard was the eruption of cheers. At first, he saw the visor. Then, he saw the cheering audience.


    ''''We have our winners!'''' The handsome idol shouted in the microphone and truly seemed excited. They got better entertainment than they could have ever hoped!


    Luna slid the helmet off her head and couldn''t feel the wetness anymore. She touched her chest and felt the pounding heartbeat. The red color quickly dyed her cheeks, and she felt so incredibly embarrassed!


    The bulky man and the rude woman were already standing. They red hatefully at both of them and left without taking the second ce trophy.


    The handsome idol couldn''t care less about them. He grabbed the first ce trophy and handed it over to Isaac.


    ''''Congrattions!'''' He motioned for the cameraman to take a picture of them.


    Isaac held the big trophy in his arms and saw Luna being motioned to stand closer to him. They moved closer to each other until their shoulders were touching.


    Snap!


    The picture was taken, and the crowd gave another round of apuse.


    Isaac and Luna stepped out of the tform and left the stadium while getting shouts of congrattions.


    Luna''s cheeks were dyed pink as she waved back to the crowd. Her innocent and beautiful looks made her attention point to the whole audience, and everyone began to love her.


    In the hearts of many, she was already their Goddess.


    Once they left the stadium, a bulky man and a rude woman appeared from the shadows of the hallway. Their eyes followed the two youngsters who left the stadium.


    They looked at each other and nodded. When they took their first steps, suddenly, they were yanked back by a firm grip.


    They turned around and saw two leanly built men dressed in a suit. Their eyes were covered with sunsses, and there was a bulge around their hip.


    Their guns were barely noticeable, but neither the bulky man nor the rude woman managed to see them.


    ''''Hands off me!'''' The bulky man felt enraged after getting touched and sent a punch at the lean-looking man.


    Smack!


    The lean-looking man pped the fist away and grabbed the bulky man from the throat before mming his head into the concrete wall.


    Crash!


    The bulky man''s pupils became white as he instantly fell unconscious. He slowly dropped down to the ground lifelessly.


    The rude woman paled and was then confronted by another lean man.


    He leaned forward and whispered, ''''Go home, wash your makeup, and sleep. Forget that this day ever happened.''''


    She shakily nodded and took off her heels before scurrying away. Once she left, the other leanly built man took a picture of the unconscious man and sent the photo to someone.


    Then, they disappeared into the shadows and followed the two youngsters.


    While walking in the crowded streets, Luna avoided looking at Isaac and tried to look anywhere else.


    Isaac noticed it and said, ''''I am sorry, I just¡­ Really wanted to win.''''


    In his opinion, it was a lousy excuse, but he couldn''t think better one from the top of his head. It was true that he did it to save Luna''s life, so they could win, but he also wanted to kiss her.


    He felt guilty and wanted to p him in the face.


    Then, Luna shook her head and said, ''''It''s fine¡­ It''s not like I hated it or anything¡­''''


    Her voice was inaudible at the end part, but seeing her face, she didn''t seem to hate it, which made him relieved.


    Rumble!


    ''''Eh?'''' Luna flinched, and like everyone in the crowd, she looked toward the sky.


    Isaac''s eyes widened in surprise. The sky became ashen gray, and thick ck-colored clouds began to form in the sky.


    ''''It''s about to¡­ Rain!'''' He couldn''t believe it. It was around twenty years ago when it rainedst time in Wintend.


    Every citizen shared the same shocked looks, and soon, waterdrops began to fall down. Everyone in the streets hurried back to the interiors.


    Isaac grabbed Luna''s hand and began running, ''''Let''s hurry up!''''


    She nodded with a surprised look. They ran as fast as they could, but the pace when the waterdrops fell down increased.


    Soon, their hair was drenched. Then, finally, they reached the first ce that was open for customers.


    It was a tall hotel with fifty floors. It was the most famous hotel in the entire Brightstar and maybe even in the whole Starshow.


    They entered the hotel and were finally safe from the rain. Seeing the heavy pour, they were sure that the rain won''t end in a whole day.


    Isaac pulled out his wallet and checked how much money he had in cash. He had around 200$, and it should be enough for them to afford one night.


    They went to the reception desk, where a beautiful middle-aged woman was waiting.


    ''''Two rooms, please,'''' Isaac said once reaching the desk. Then, he noticed the receptionist''s shaking her head.


    ''''I am sorry, but the hotel is very packed, and no one is allowed to rent two rooms¡­ The only choice is to share one big enough room to fit you two.''''


    ''''Ah¡­'''' Isaac scratched his head and looked back at Luna, who was blinking innocently with the hue of pink in her soft cheeks.


    ''''Fine¡­'''' He had no other choice than ept it. The receptionist wrote their names down and gave them the keys.


    Isaac paid and left toward their hotel room with Luna.

 Chapter 333 The God’s Advice.

    nk!


    Isaac opened the door to their hotel room. He and Luna stepped inside. The first thing they noticed was the spacious bed that could fit two of them easily.


    Then, they saw a TV nailed to the wall, a small desk, window that showed the enormous city and the extent of the rainstorm.


    The snow was starting to melt away, making everything sticky and soft. The streets were a mess, and they became empty quickly.


    All the cars disappeared, and the previous packed city became deserted.


    All the buildings had lights on, and Isaac could see citizens looking at the rain with their families.


    Luna opened another door and saw a bathroom. There was a shower, bath, sink, toilet, and a shelf with towels piled on top.


    "I will call Sebastian." Isaac pulled out his phone, "Maybe he cane to pick us up."


    Luna nodded and took off her jacket before sitting on the bed.


    Ring¡­


    Soon, the phone call was connected.


    "Sebastian, can youe to pick us up?" Isaac instantly asked.


    He heard a resigned sigh from the other side of the phone, "Sorry, Isaac. I can''t. The cars aren''t allowed to be driven when there is a rainstorm."


    "Ah¡­" Isaac massaged his temples and nodded, "I understand¡­"


    "Inform your grandparents. They are worried." Sebastian said.


    Isaac said he would and disconnected the phone call. Then, he opened the messaging app and sent a message to his grandparents.


    After sending, it didn''t take long for him to receive a reply.


    Luna was also typing on the phone and sending her mom a message. She soon received a barrage of texts and had to reply back to all of them.


    Isaac pocketed the phone and watched the heavy pour from the windows, "Weather can indeed change suddenly¡­"


    ¡­


    While the Wintend was suffering from the rainstorm. Above the dark cloud was an illusionary pce made of silver.


    Fourteen skinny, round towers formed an almost perfectly squared barrier around this marvelous pce and were connected by towering, chunky walls made of silver marble stone.


    Ornate windows were scattered thinly around the walls in seemingly perfect symmetry.


    An endless field of soft-looking clouds scattered across the pce''s ground.


    Boom!


    Out of nowhere, a wall of the beautiful pce was destroyed, and a beautiful woman appeared with disheveled white hair.


    She was gorgeous with white baggy robes and a freezing-cold countenance. Her disheveled white hair reached all the way to her lower back.


    Her feet slid hundreds of meters beforeing to a stop. Then, the surrounding environment became ice-cold as she raised her head and red at the man who emerged from the pce.


    He was an amiable-looking man with golden robes and short blond hair who casually walked forth while folding his hands behind his back.


    "You goddamn fossil!" Khione screamed with anger. Her beautiful white hair began turning light blue. A thinyer of ice began forming around the strands of her long hair strands.


    "Khione, please, let''s stop this." The amiable-looking man put his hand forth. Every movement of his screamed the word Godly.


    Khione gritted her teeth and screamed, "Oh, what are you going to do about it? Oh, so famous, God!"


    The amiable-looking man''s name was rather strange. He was called God by everyone. He sighed and shook his head, "Khione, you aren''t allowed to go to the mortal realm. Alreadying here is a criminal act. They can kill you."


    "No one makes fun of me and gets away with it!" She was throwing a childish tantrum. Even after living for thousands of years, she was still basically a child in the eyes of older Gods and Goddesses.


    While her worshippers call her Goddess of Snow. The Gods and Goddesses have another name for her.


    The most childish Goddess.


    God massaged his forehead and asked, "Khione, have you tried talking with him?"


    Khione opened her mouth before closing it again. She shook her head.


    God sighed and looked down, where the dark clouds had gathered.


    "Our fight hadplicated many things¡­ If you leave now, I won''t say anything to Gaia and rest."


    Khione knew that she wasn''t a match for God. She had no other choice than grit her teeth and float away.


    The God watched as the most childish Goddess floated away. Then, he shouted and gave a piece of valuable advice, "Talk it out. No need for violence!"


    Khione gritted and left the''s atmosphere. She was surrounded by the endless space, "That all-knowing fossil¡­ Damn it!"


    She disappeared and reappeared on the moon.


    ¡­


    In the Snowflower Mansion.


    Mariah was currently seated in the living room. She was skimming through the text messages and soon replied back to Luna.


    She was very concerned. Her daughter was very innocent when it came to matters of the opposite sex. Even after Madison said that Isaac was a good kid, she couldn''t believe it blindly and leave her precious daughter alone with a boy.


    "Mariah, is everything alright?" Marshall stepped inside the living room and sat next to her. He remembered thest time it rained, and it wasplete chaos.


    However, he enjoyed the sound of water sttering against a ceiling. It was a sound that was rarely heard in Wintend.


    "I am worried about Luna¡­" Mariah told about her worries. Marshall listened closely and nodded every now and then.


    She talked about her innocence and that she wasn''t aware of more intimate acts. They had only given her books that had romantic parts but nothing over the top.


    Once she was done talking, Marshall held her hand and said, "She will be fine. I believe in Malcolm, and if he said that Isaac is a good kid, he must be one."


    Mariah nodded and smiled, "Thanks, dad¡­"


    ¡­


    "Whew." Isaac left the bathroom with a towel in his hand and wet hair. He was wearing only a t-shirt and baggy pants.


    He dried up his hair and saw Luna hugging a pillow while watching the news.


    "What is in the news?" He asked while moving closer to the bed.


    "About the rain," Luna replied and felt a sudden weight next to her, making the soft mattress slightly lean to the other side. Her body moved closer to Isaac until their shoulders were touching.


    Isaac nodded.


    They kept looking at the news infortable silence until the ending section of the news appeared. However, it was news that concerned both of them.


    It talked about the event held at the festival, and the first photo shown was two youths kissing while being submerged in water.

 Chapter 334 Kiss.

    Luna blushed and buried her face in the pillow. Her first kiss was shown on national TV to millions of people. She felt like screaming her heart out.


    Isaac covered his mouth, ''I am in so much trouble¡­ I really hope my parents weren''t watching the News.''


    The News kept talking about the event but didn''t mention anything about them. There was a total of two pictures shown. The first one was their kissing photo, and the next one was them holding the trophy.


    After the News ended, Luna raised her head with pinkish cheeks, ''''Hey, Isaac¡­ A-About the kiss¡­''''


    Isaac turned to look at her and asked, ''''What about it?'''' He saw her unfocused eyes.


    Seeing her blushing cheeks and pink lips made him gulp. Their faces got closer and closer. Luna closed her eyes while Isaac moved his hands behind her head and pulled her closer.


    Mwah!


    Their lips connected for another passionate kiss. Isaac felt soft arms suddenly wrapping around him and pulling him till his warm body felt two mounds on the chest.


    Theyy down on the bed and increased the strength of their kisses. Luna was shy and inexperienced at first. Then, she tasted the sweet taste of both of their saliva mixing.


    She increased the strength of her kissing and began to devour Isaac''s lips.


    Isaac trailed his hand on her soft waist and barely felt her skin below the clothing. He moved his hand further down and slipped his hand inside her shirt.


    Luna''s body shook as she felt a tickling sensation around her stomach. She stifled her giggles.


    He moved his hand up and had a feeling to do something bolder. Then, both of them heard the same ear-piercing ring tone.


    They separated their lips and heard two different ring tonesing from their pockets.


    Isaac and Luna looked at each other with simr red faces. Then, they slowly separated their bodies and sat down on different sides of the bed.


    Luna was messily fixing her hair while her heart was almost bursting out of her chest. Her eyes were still unfocused, and she couldn''t believe what she had just done.


    It was like a romantic novel, and she never thought it would feel so good. She remembered the feeling of Isaac''s soft hands touching her. She rubbed her legs together and felt a weird itching sensation, which she had never felt before.


    It screamed to be scratched at, but Luna shook her head and pulled out the phone from her pocket.


    Isaac did the same and saw a phone calling from his mother. His face went pale, and he looked back at Luna, who showed her phone screen.


    She was getting a phone call from her mother.


    Isaac nodded and went to the bathroom while Luna took deep breaths to calm her heartbeat and quick breath. However, she couldn''t hide the smile on her face.


    She saw that her mother wanted to facetime. After her rapid heartbeat had slowed down, she pressed the answer button.


    On the screen, anxious-looking Mariah appeared. In the background, Marshall tried to calm Sin, who was tugging his hair out.


    ''''M-Mom!'''' Luna tried to act as calmly as she could.


    ''''Luna.'''' Mariah sighed a breath of relief. Her voice also attracted Marshall and Sin, who gathered around her.


    They saw Luna on the screen, but there was something different about her.


    Her cheeks were dyed pink, and her eyes appeared unfocused.


    ''''Luna, is everything alright?'''' Mariah asked anxiously.


    ''''Yes, is something wrong?'''' Luna asked.


    ''''H-Have you seen the news?'''' Mariah asked while biting her lip. After seeing the News, there was absolute carnage in their household.


    Luna opened her mouth, about to answer that she did. Then, she had an instinct to lie. It was the first time she ever thought about lying to her dear mother.


    That made her feel bad, but she thought answering truthfully would be the wrong choice.


    She opened her mouth and answered, ''''I haven''t¡­''''


    Mariah sighed and nodded, ''''U-Umm¡­ Is Isaac there?''''


    ''''Ah, yes.'''' Luna aligned the phone in a way it couldn''t capture her face. Once his name was mentioned, she remembered all the bold things they had done only a second ago. She covered her mouth and blushed even more.


    ''''Dear, is everything alright?'''' Mariah''s concerned voice came from the phone.


    Luna took a deep breath and moved the phone, so it could capture her face. She nodded and answered, ''''Yes, just¡­ A little bit sleepy, that''s all.''''


    ''''Alright, before you go sleep, can I talk with Isaac?''''


    Luna nced at the bathroom door and said, ''''He is currently in the bathroom¡­ Can you wait for a second?''''


    The phone showed Mariah nodding.


    After a minute of waiting, Isaac opened the bathroom door with an exhausted look. He massaged his temple and thought about how unlucky can he be.


    He facetimed with his parents too, and it was quite an experience.


    His mother, Isabe, panicked, crying about losing her precious son. There was also Maxwell trying tofort her. Then, Marvin ran from the upstairs and saw them face timing with him.


    He showed thumbs up and erupted inughter. He was chased off by Maxwell shortly afterward.


    Isabe began to regret ever sending him to the Brightstar. Once he returns to Snowstar, there was sure to be another round of interrogating ahead.


    ''''I-Isaac¡­'''' He heard Luna''s sweet voice calling her. He looked at her and saw her blushing while motioning for him toe to her.


    She was still holding the phone. Isaac understood who was on the other side of the phone.


    He fixed his cor and his messy hair. Then, he sat down next to her and saw Mariah''s face.


    In the background, he saw Sin about to shout, but his mouth was covered by Marshall.


    ''''I-Isaac, h-how are you doing?'''' Mariah''s voice shook as she looked at the boy who took her daughter''s first kiss.


    ''''Fine, we were about to go sleep.'''' Isaac said and saw Mariah''s face be pale, but then he showed his pillow, ''''I will sleep on the floor. This hotel has wonderful carpets that feel like clouds.''''


    Mariah sighed in relief. Sin and Marshall did the same and rxed significantly.


    ''''A-Alright¡­ Well, then, L-Luna, see you tomorrow.''''


    Luna waved and saw the screen turning dark. She slumped down with an exhausted look.


    Isaac leaned closer and whispered, ''''Should we continue?''''


    Luna''s exhaustion disappeared, and she buried her face in the pillow while shaking her head, ''''D-D-D-Dummy¡­ L-L-Let''s sleep?''''


    Isaac chuckled. He said it out of teasing and wasn''t willing to push her further. He never even thought about kissing her, and now they went way above.


    He hugged her from behind and moved the nket to cover their bodies.


    Luna felt warm enveloping her. She smiled as her eyelids became heavier.


    Isaac could smell her sweet scenting from her hair. Knowing that she would fall asleep in seconds, he asked, ''''Do you want to¡­ Be my¡­''''


    He didn''t have to finish as Luna answered, ''''Y-Yes¡­''''


    Isaac smiled and did a quick peck on her neck before shutting his eyes down and falling into a deep slumber.


    Luna, however, couldn''t fall asleep as easily. She rolled her body around and came face-to-face with sleeping Isaac.


    Her eyes became unfocused again as she leaned forward and kissed his tightly-closed lips.

 Chapter 335 The Beginning Of Legend.

    Brr¡­


    ''''Mmm¡­'''' Isaac moved his hand on his thigh and pulled out his phone. He opened the screen with unclear vision and blinked several times before sitting up in a hurry.


    He felt cold sweat pouring down his back after seeing the number of calls and texts.


    Most of the messages came from his family back in Snowstar and his grandparents. He forgot to mention to them that he was going to sleep.


    Then, he felt something moving next to him. He looked to the side and saw the sleepy ck-haired girl slowly waking up.


    He turned back to the phone and quickly responded to the text messages. Well, he tried to. There were way too many spam messages and only a few that he could answer.


    ''''Yawn¡­'''' Luna yawned and sat up. She rubbed her eyes and looked around her. The room seemed rather odd and unfamiliar. Then, she remembered what had happened yesterday.


    It was definitely the craziest day in her life.


    Isaac sent a simr text to everyone. He identally fell asleep and woke up a minute ago. Then, he pocketed the phone and stood up from the bed.


    He stretched his stiff muscles and dragged his feet behind him as he went to the bathroom.


    There wasn''t any way to brush his teeth. He only put the water running and washed his face in the sink.


    Soon, he was done and felt his sleepiness disappearing. He stepped out of the bathroom and saw Luna neatly tidying the bed.


    Isaac''s focus was at first on her. Then, over her shoulder, he managed to see the clear blue sky. He walked past the ck-haired girl and stopped in front of therge window panel.


    The streets were messy, the water still running through, and the liquefied snow moved along. First time in a long time, there was a sign of grass growing around the forest areas and parks.


    It was both majestic but also a messy sight. Isaac knew that it won''tst. The snow falls down from the sky regrly. It might take several days before Wintend was again covered in the cold snow.


    Then, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and sent a message to Sebastian toe to pick them up.


    ''''Luna, Sebastian will be here shortly,'''' Isaac said once getting a quick reply in return. He was obviously waiting for the message, perhaps the whole night.


    Luna smiled and nodded. She quickly went to the bathroom, did her morning tasks, and returned with a rejuvenated look.


    Her makeup was removed, but it didn''t diminish her beauty. In Isaac''s opinion, her natural beauty was what attracted him in the first ce.


    Isaac looked at the desk and saw the trophy. The trophy was the source of all their troubles, and he wished to throw it out of the window. But, it also had significant memories attached.


    Isaac went and picked up the trophy. Once Luna was ready, they left the room, went to the elevator, returned to the lounge, and gave the keys to the receptionist.


    The receptionist reacted to seeing them differently this time around. She gave a sneaky wink toward Luna and a thumbs up.


    Luna blushed and quickened her pace to catch Isaac.


    ''''Ahh, youth.'''' The receptionist leaned on the desk and sighed in envy.


    Once Isaac and Luna took a step outside. There was a ck sedan waiting and a handsome man pacing back and forth anxiously.


    Then, Sebastian saw them and sighed in relief, ''''Young Master, you have put me in a tight spot.''''


    ''''You alright?'''' Isaac asked after seeing eyebags under Sebastian''s eyes. It was inly evident that he didn''t sleep at all.


    Sebastian rubbed his eyes and nodded, ''''Yeah¡­ I think so.''''


    Isaac wryly smiled and stored the trophy inside the trunk. Then, he and Luna entered the backseat while Sebastian began driving the car.


    Soon, they left the Layer of Tourism and rushed through the Layer of Feasting. The streets were very wet, and annoyed-looking citizens walked on the wet sidewalks.


    Even the ones driving the cars had to be extremely careful.


    The car left the Layer of Feasting and entered the Layer of Nobility. Soon, they entered the Whitelock Family''s yard.


    ''''Well¡­ I will call you?'''' Isaac looked at Luna while saying it with part-question.


    ''''Sure!'''' Luna nodded vigorously while smiling. Isaac leaned closer and gave a quick peck on her cheek. Her smile grew and waved as Isac slowly left the car and entered the mansion.


    After seeing the kiss, Sebastian almost facepalmed, ''Young master Isaac¡­ You are such a troublemaker¡­''


    The car soon left the yard. Sebastian took Luna back to the Snowflower mansion, where many anxious faces were waiting for her.


    Creak!


    Once entering the mansion, Isaac slipped out of his shoes and jacket. Then, he joined the living room and saw his grandparents looking at him.


    Madison gently smiled and trapped him in a hug. She whispered something that made Isaac''s cheeks dyed pink.


    Malcolm''s face looked serious as he stood up. Once Madison was done hugging his grandson, he went toward him and gave him a hug and pat on the back.


    Then, he leaned closer and whispered, ''''You should know about her illness¡­ And that she doesn''t have a long time left, right?''''


    Isaac''s face became serious, and his arms tightened, ''''Yep¡­''''


    Malcolm nodded and separated from the hug. He gave another pat on the shoulder and returned to the couches.


    For the next ten minutes, they shared idle chitchat. Then, Isaac returned to his temporary room and copsed on the bed.


    ''''Ahh¡­ Sticky.'''' He looked at his dirtied clothes that were sticking to his skin. He sprang to his feet, threw his dirty clothes into the washing bin, and enjoyed a long shower.


    While in the shower. Heavy thoughts filled his mind. He leaned on the wall and stayed motionless as the waterdrops trickled down his skin.


    ''''Haaahhh¡­'''' Isaac raised his head and saw his reflection in the shower enclosure. The steam made the ss misty. Then, he moved his hand across the ss.


    His misty reflection was revealed under the steamyer.


    There was a slight glow in his deep gray eyes. A flicker of grayish me with a tint of low-shaded red. This seemingly ordinary bathroom was the birthce of his legendary tale.


    His lip curved upward, and he looked down to gaze at his hands. The shaking of his hands stopped and was tightened into a fist slowly.

 Chapter 336 Spring Realm!

    The following day, Isaac stood in front of his wooden desk with his phone in hand. His thumb moved across the touchscreen.


    He was currently texting with Luna, who talked about yesterday''s mess. Her family became even more protective of her because they weren''t sure whether she was being tricked or not.


    They knew Isaac was knowledgeable of her illness. No one would want to date someone who could die at any moment, at least ording to them.


    He replied to her messages and said that he would talk with them in the future. Once done, he pocketed his phone and grabbed his ne ticket from the desk.


    Today, Isaac was going to return back to Snowstar. Yesterday, his father surprisingly called Madison.


    They had a lengthy two-hour discussion and, in the end, came to the conclusion that he should return to Snowstar.


    After the phone call, Madison looked happy after talking with her son first time in over a decade.


    Isaac slipped the ne ticket into his bag and used the zipper to close it entirely. Then, he turned off the light switch and left the room.


    Soon, he reached the living room, where his grandparents were waiting. They gave him a hug and said he was always wee toe back.


    Isaac said his farewells and also received a gift from Malcolm. He gave him a ne with a bear''s fang hanging. It belonged to the bear Isaac killed.


    He hung it around his neck and left the mansion after the final farewell.


    Sebastian was already waiting for him with the car''s trunk open. Isaac nodded at him and stored his bag inside the truck.


    Then, he closed the trunk and sat down on the front seat. Once Sebastian entered the driver''s seat, the engine revved, and the car left the yard.


    Sebastian saw Isaac daydreaming while watching outside the window. The reflection showed his concentrated look, and he seemed to have deep thoughts.


    He didn''t want to disturb him. Instead, continued controlling the car infortable silence.


    Then, when the car reached the Layer of Tourism and the airport got closer, Isaac opened his mouth, ''''Do you have family, Sebastian?''''


    It was an unexpected question. Even Sebastian was somewhat shaken after, ''''Ah, no. I don''t.''''


    ''''Why?''''


    ''''Well¡­'''' Sebastian became silent. He began to think and soon realized that he couldn''t think of a proper excuse.


    Isaac nced at him and said, ''''Parents¡­ Siblings?''''


    Sebastian shook his head, ''''My mother gave me away to an orphanage. I never knew how she looked or how her voice sounded like. Only the orphanage workers remembered her slightly.''''


    ''''Ah¡­ I see.'''' Isaac nodded and became silent again. The rest of the car ride went infortable silence, and soon, the car reached the airport.


    Once the car stopped, Isaac shook hands with Sebastian and said their goodbyes.


    Then, he exited the car, took his bag from the trunk, and watched as the ck sedan slowly drove away.


    He entered the terminal and found a ce to sit at. Once seated, he looked toward therge screens and saw that his flight hadn''t arrived yet.


    While waiting, Isaac looked around with a bag on hisp. A lot of tourists were arriving and leaving Brightstar. He was often used to seeing pale-skinned citizens, but now, there were few tanned skins.


    He could hear the sound of their discussions, and apparently, they were from Summend. The weather was too much for many, forcing them to go to nearby Continents on early holidays.


    They decided on Wintend and heard great things about Brightstar.


    Then, Isaac''s attention was caught by the sh of light. Therge screens nailed on the walls showed breaking news.


    The news anchor''s voice echoed in the terminal, attracting many eye pairs.


    ''''Today, new ss, Archaeologist, showed why it is important to have one in every Guild!'''' The news anchor was a rather handsome man with charcoal-colored hair and well-defined facial structures.


    He locked his hands as he kept reading the text from the teleprompter, ''''yers with Archaeologist ss with the help of several Top yers managed to find a pathway to the second realm!''''


    ''''The ce everyone had grown fond of was only the first realm, called Summer Realm!''''


    ''''The pathway they found was for the second realm called Spring Realm. Who knows how many Realms there are, but this will change everything!''''


    The screen began changing, and pictures appeared. The photo showed carved words that said Spring Realm.


    ''''Apparently, every Continent has its own pathway near its Starting City, and Wintend''s Starting City is Stronglord that is in South Continent!''''


    ''''The first pathway was found on West Continent, and Top yers there started nning to do an expedition. There have also been rumors of Lord Kalzer joining them!''''


    Isaac turned his gaze away from the screen. He touched his chin and pondered, ''When I was falling down¡­ I saw four realms¡­ I see. This is what Simo was hiding from me.''


    He sighed and massaged his temples, ''We are only at starting line¡­''


    ''''Woah, that was unexpected!'''' A voice came behind him. Two men with tanned skin continued talking, ''''Lord Kalzer will definitely reach the Second Realm!''''


    ''''Yeah, he is just too f*cking good. No one can defeat him.''''


    Behind them, a white-haired youth slowly stood up and began walking away. Isaac took his ticket from the bag and moved it around his hand. His ne arrived a minute ago, and it was time for him to leave.


    The windows disyed the beautiful City of Brightstar, and Isaac felt simr when he left Snowstar. The feeling of longing and losing something.


    Soon, he gave the ticket to the flight attendant and entered the ne. He had a seat in the first ss. His grandparents didn''t stop spoiling him.


    He crammed the bag in the overhead bin and sat down on the soft cushioned seat.


    He closed his eyes and leaned on the backrest. The memories shed inside his mind and ended with him kissing Luna.


    Isaac slowly opened his eyes, and his gray eyes glowed mysteriously.

 Chapter 337 Return To Snowstar.

    Creak!


    A white-haired youth was slowly opening the front door in front of an enormous mansion and snow-covered yard.


    He looked rather anxious but gathered all his courage and opened the door swiftly. Then, he stepped inside and took off his shoes and jacket.


    Isaac looked around and felt happy to arrive back in his home. It was, after all, the ce where he had lived his entire life.


    He walked deeper into the mansion and saw the living room void of any life. The kitchen door was closed, and the lights were shut.


    ''''Hmm.'''' Isaac thought that his siblings should at least be in the home. However, there wasn''t any sign of life.


    Then, loud footsteps came from the stairs. Someone heard the sound of the door opening. Soon, the figure''s attractive features became visible.


    Isaac smiled and opened his mouth, ''''Mom¡­ Ugh!'''' He was trapped in a hug by Isabe and felt his spine breaking.


    ????? ????? ''''Waaaah, Isaac!'''' She cried out as she buried her face in Isaac''s shoulder.


    Isaac''s eyebrow twitched, and began tofort his crying mother. Then, the kitchen door opened, and Maxwell appeared with a sandwich in his hand.


    He rubbed his forehead and dragged Isabe away. Isaac looked at his drenched shoulder and sighed.


    Isabe hugged herself, and the tears kept falling down. Maxwell kept patting her shoulder but couldn''t do anything when she was in that state.


    ''''Mom¡­ Dad.'''' Isaac rubbed his cheek. His eyes went soft after seeing his mother, but his look changed once seeing Maxwell. He had a lot of questions for him.


    They went to the living room to continue the talk. Then, ten minutester, Isabe finally stopped crying. She stood up with red eyes and said, ''''I-Isaac, y-you will always be my child, right?''''


    ''''Of course,'''' Isaac replied and wondered what kind of question was that.


    Isabe''s face beamed as she nodded vigorously, ''''Yay!'''' With light steps, she went to the kitchen, and soon the scent of food wafted through the air.Pa nda


    No vel After she was gone, Isaac looked at Maxwell, who was taking sips from a cup.


    ''''Dad¡­'''' His voice caught his attention, ''''Remember the day when I got lost in the Snowstorm?''''


    Maxwell nodded, ''''Of course.''''


    ''''When I finally returned¡­'''' Isaac bit his lips and continued, ''''Was I carrying anything?''''


    Maxwell''s face had a split-second shock before returning to normal. However, Isaac noticed that slight change.


    ''''Umm¡­ I don''t really remember.'''' He responded, which was a tant lie.


    ''''I see¡­'''' Isaac wasn''t sure why his father lied. But, he nned to find out what the item was. He had a hunch that Maxwell kept it close at all times.


    One ce popped up in his mind. Maxwell''s office and the safe.


    Then, half an hourter. They dined, but Isaac noticed that his siblings were nowhere to be seen.


    Once he was done eating, he went to the fourth floor and saw his room''s door. Isaac stopped in front of the door and felt a rush of nostalgia running through his veins.


    Then, he touched the doorknob, but he felt a weird chilling sensation on his back at that moment.


    He turned around, and his heart almost exploded. Isaac flinched and took a step back. He grabbed his chest and felt his rapid heartbeat.


    Alice was standing only ten meters away from him with an emotionless facade. She wasn''t moving an inch as she looked at him.


    ''''Hey, Alice.'''' Isaac greeted his little sister but didn''t receive a response, ''''Right¡­''''


    He opened the door to his room and stepped inside. Alice''s eyes followed him, and the strange feeling stopped once the door was closed.


    Isaac wiped his cold sweat and went to unpack his stuff. After ten minutes, most of his bag was empty, except the smooth box.


    He carried it out of his bag and ced it gently on the floor.


    At that moment, his door opened with a m, and Marvin appeared with a silly grin. He stopped in front of Isaac and patted his shoulder with loudughter, ''''Hahaha, my little brother has a girlfriend!''''


    Isaac''s eyebrow twitched. Even though he looked annoyed, he was rather happy to see his big brother in the flesh.


    ''''Marvin, shut up, or I will kill you while you are asleep!'''' Alice''s enragedughter seeped through the wall.


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' Marvinughed even louder and heard Alice''s angry footsteps getting further away.


    He leaned closer to Isaac and whispered, ''''Monday, we will go meet my friends in City. You have to share all details!''''


    Isaac rolled his eyes but wasn''t opposed to that idea, ''''Sure, but nothing happened.''''


    ''''Sure, sure.'''' Marvin winked and elbowed him. He didn''t believe it, and after teasing his brother for several minutes, he finally left.


    Isaac hid the box in the wardrobe. Then, he emptied the rest of the bag and was soon done with unpacking.


    His feet were taking him to the bed at first, but then he remembered that he had a lot of stuff to be written. He turned around and went to his bookshelf, grabbed the silver key from the gap in the book, and opened his locked cab.


    He found a rtively empty notebook there that should fit everything that happened to him in Brightstar.


    He wrote Brightstar with nice letters on the cover and opened the first page. He began writing with the pencil moving like a streak of lightning.


    After writing for an hour, his hand was getting sore. He shook his hand and decided that he had written enough.


    He closed the notebook and stored it inside the cab. Then, he closed it and locked it tightly. Afterward, he went to his bookshelf and hid the key there.


    Brr!


    He pulled out his phone and saw a message from Luna. Isaac read the texts carefully, and a short chuckle left his mouth. He wrote a reply and ended with sweet dreams.


    Apparently, Luna would stay in Brightstar for one more week.


    Isaac pocketed his ck touchscreen phone and returned to the bed. Hey down slowly and put his hands underneath his head.


    His eyelids fluttered, and soon the sleepiness began to fight against him. Isaac let out a yawn, and his eyelids became heavier. Then, a short minuteter, his breathing became steady, and he entered a state of deep slumber.

 Chapter 338 Battle For Spring Realm (1)

    The next day, Isaac was walking in the vast streets of Stronglord.


    The streets were packed with yers. Isaac noticed that every yer had gathered among their own groups. They kept shouting till their faces became red.


    Each group was recruiting for their expedition team. The goal was to find the pathway that led to the second realm.


    There had been rumors that the Inner Layer of the Forest of Unknown was the ce of the pathway. It was a valid theory because, in West Continent, the path was located in a forest simr to the Forest of Unknown.


    It was near Starting City, and the level limit was 100. Everything about it was familiar to the Forest of Unknown, and the pathway was located in the innermostyer.


    For the first time since the Colosseum''s appearance, it was pretty empty. It was as expected. More content appeared, which attracted the whole yer base.


    Then, Isaac noticed one of the groups gathering a lot of attention. The leader of that expedition team was shouting that they had Archaeologist. Next to him, a young man with a sun hat was standing idly.


    His chin was slightly raised, and he was obviously disinterested in the fact that he gathered a lot of attention. However, deep in his eyes, there was a sign of gloating. Since his birth, he never amounted to anything. He was never really needed.


    But now, he was one of the highest-leveled Archaeologists and was wanted by every Top Guild!


    He only joined this expedition team because they paid him a significant amount of money. It was an amount he had never seen before.


    The Leader of the expedition team was a man named Kizone. He was anky-built man with a short blond beard and hair. There was nothing special about him except his wealthy family.????? ?????


    He was wearing a heavy armory with a hefty steel shield and longsword. There were emblems and symbols around his armor.


    None of them could understand what they meant, but they understood what ss he was in.


    ''Pdin.'' Isaac stepped forth and slowly arrived where they were shouting. There was a crowd in front of him, but he managed to weave through them easily.


    Then, when he was at the front of the group, he raised his arm and said, ''''Can I join?''''


    Kizone shifted his gaze toward the white-haired youth and looked disinterested at first but then saw his name.


    Wraith!


    His eyes widened in a shock, and he was happily about to agree.


    But then, a man with brownish hair and dirtied face took a step forward and pointed at Isaac, ''''We don''t need cheaters. Get lost!''''


    Isaac raised his eyebrow and saw the yer who shouted at him.


    [Oxwell]


    He shrugged and turned around. When Isaac was about to leave, Kizone raised his hand and pped Oxwell''s head.


    Smack!


    ''''Ah!'''' Oxwell didn''t expect to get hit. He fell from the small tform they were standing at andnded right in front of the crowd with humiliation coloring his face.Pa nda


    No vel ''''Ah, wait!'''' Then, Kizone shouted after Isaac and sighed a relief after seeing him stopping.


    ''''We would love to have with you.'''' He put his hands together and did a slight bow, ''''Wraith.''''


    The Archaeologist, who goes by the name of Lather, looked surprised to see the white-haired youth. His arrogance crumbled a bit.


    Isaac nodded and stopped next to the tform. He nced at Oxwell, who was slowly standing up with a red face.


    Oxwell patted the dust off and looked hatefully toward Kizone before hopping back to the tform. This time, he didn''t open his mouth and stayed silent in the corner.


    Then, Kizone pped his hands and spoke to everyone who had gathered, ''''Our team is now full. Thanks to everyone for your interest.''''


    The crowd looked displeased. But, they were aware that nothing they said would change anything.


    They left, leaving the expedition team alone.


    ''''Alright, let''s go!'''' Kizone motioned everyone to begin moving. They left the tform and started walking toward their next destination with armor rattling and footsteps tapping the ground.


    While walking, Isaac decided to find out what ss his teammates were. Kizone was Pdin, and Lather was Archaeologist. Isaac saw a cute-looking girl walking next to him, her cheeks dyed as she took a few nces at him.


    He noticed the pouches she was carrying and concluded that she was Medic. Then, there was Oxwell, who had two guns hanging from his waist. He took a deep look at his weapons and his attire.


    ''Hitman.'' Then, Isaac looked at the rest of the teammates. There was Spellcaster, Swordsman, and Brawler.


    There were a total of 10 on the team, including Isaac. However, he couldn''t find out the ss of thest person on the team.


    A man with red armor and a helmet strode forth only several meters away from him. A scabbard was hanging from his hip. However, the weapon seemed rather odd.


    Isaac saw the symbols on the handle and widened his eyes in surprise, ''Katana?''


    He rubbed his imaginary beard and thought, ''Unique ss¡­''


    Soon, the expedition team reached City Square. Isaac wondered why they went there. There was nothing except the Realm Portals.


    Kizone opened his interface and took out a leather pouch filled with White Coins. He gave it to the Guard, who opened the Realm Portal.


    ''''Wait¡­ What is this?'''' Isaac mumbled aloud, and the Medic managed to hear him.


    ''''Eh, you don''t know about Realm Portals?'''' She looked stunned.


    ''''I know about them, but where is he going?'''' Isaac said while pointing at Kizone.


    ''''Oh.'''' The Medic nodded and understood what he didn''t understand. It was still notmon knowledge.


    ''''It is possible to teleport small distances. Traveling to Forest of Unknown costs 1000 White Coins.'''' She exined calmly.


    ''''Oh!'''' Isaac felt facepalming. He had wasted his Teleportation Pearls for nothing. But, this was good news. It meant that he didn''t have to use them anymore and try to save them till he had to escape a strong enemy.


    Soon, everyone had entered the Realm Portals except Isaac. He paid the Guard, who epted the pouch and gave him a purple ticket.


    The Guard patiently exined what the ticket was. Isaac listened closely and widened his eyes in amazement.


    Apparently, the purple ticket would allow him to travel back to Stronglord. There weren''t any Realm Portals in Forest of Unknown, so the purple ticket would teleport him back without extra cost.

 Chapter 339 Battle For Spring Realm (2)

    Once Isaac opened his eyes, he saw the expedition team gathered around the Archaeologist. He was currently rubbing his hand on the soil with his eyes closed.


    "Mmm¡­ Hmm¡­ Humm¡­" He let out a weird sound every five seconds and became quiet again.


    Isaac stopped next to the Medic and whispered, "What is he doing?"


    The Medic''s round eyes were looking at the Archaeologist with fascination. Then, she turned her adorable face toward Isaac and had a slight pink hue on her chubby cheeks.


    "Archaeologists have a special stat called irvoyance that allows them to see things others can''t."


    Isaac nodded and stored his purple ticket in his inventory. It would be tragic if he lost it.


    Shortly afterward, Lather opened his eyes and said, "Something is hidden here¡­ It isn''t far."


    Kizone nodded and motioned for everyone to start moving. They began walking, and half an hourter, they reached an area with a thick mist.


    The Forest of Unknown was rtively dark already, and the mist made it even darker. They had to move forward carefully while following Lather, who had his destination mapped out.


    Suddenly, Lather came to a stop. Kizone raised his arm, and everyone stopped behind him.


    "Hmm¡­" Lather moved closer to a nearby tree and rubbed the bark. Then, he pressed a precise spot, and it looked like his hand got sucked inside the tree!


    Kizone grabbed his sword''s handle and took a step forward. He was ready to help Lather if needed. They can''t afford to lose their only Archaeologist. He was already very expensive.


    Clung! Clung! nk! nk!


    Isaac perked up his ears and thought, ''Gears turning?''


    They could hear the sound of gears turning. It seemed to being from the underground.


    Lather removed his hand from the bark and turned to the right. The ground began to quake, and soon, an underground path appeared from the soil!


    He grinned and looked at Kizone, "This might be it."


    Kizone''s mouth curved into a slight smirk. He unsheathed his sword and began to walk forth. Everyone followed after him, and soon they started walking down the steep slope.


    ????? ????? The Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle appeared in Isaac''s hand. For some reason, Lather walked behind him, like he was using him as a meat shield.


    Soon, they reached the end of the path. There was a room with a Knight''s statue.


    There was a scent of moisture in the air, and the cracks around the mushy walls were filled with crawling insects. The ground below them was soft and wet.


    The Knight Statue had signs of cracking apart. Half of its face was ashen-colored powder, while only the left side of the face was still intact.


    Ding! Ding!


    [You Have Discovered Great Knight Lucio''s Resting ce!]


    [1000 XP Earned!]


    [Title of Adventurer Increases the XP by 300%!]


    [1000 -> 4000 XP Earned!]


    "Ah, fuck!" Kizone cursed aloud. He sheathed his sword and rubbed his forehead with evident annoyance. Pa nda


    No vel While everyone was disappointed, the only yer with Knight ss in their expedition team saw this as a chance. He began to search the room throughout.


    Everyone else was watching him, having no intention of searching for themselves. The Knight searched every nook and croon, even breaking bits of the statue, thinking that maybe something was hidden inside.


    Ten minutester, The Knight broke the statue into pieces while letting out an enraged shout, "F*cking hell!"


    Kizone grabbed his shoulder and said, "You will find one eventually."


    The Knight''s bloodshot eyes disappeared. He took a deep breath and nodded, "Yeah¡­"


    ''Was he trying to search for Legacy?'' Isaac thought to himself. He also looked around the room, but it didn''t take long for him toe to the conclusion that the room didn''t have anything.


    They left the underground ce. Once they reached the outside, Oxwell opened his interface after receiving a message.


    He skimmed through the message, and it didn''t take long for his eyes to sparkle in excitement.


    "My friend sent a message that there was an Expedition Team that found the pathway. Now everyone is gathered there!"


    Kizone whipped his head toward Oxwell and shouted, "Is that true?!"


    Oxwell made the holographic screen visible and spun it around so that Kizone could see.


    He carefully read the message. After he was done, he unsheathed his sword and said, "Everyone, let''s hurry!"


    This time, it was Oxwell who walked in forth. His friend sent an image of the map that showed where they were.


    Only short five minutester, they reached a ce on a spacious mountainside. The area was surrounded by small hills and very opennd.


    Next to thergest mountain wall, a giant statue with a shield and knight was proudly standing. There was a name written on top, God Zephyros.


    Isaac recognized the name, ''God of Spring¡­''


    Kizone stopped. In front of him was a ten-meter fall. He looked around for a path that led down and soon found one. Then, he noticed a sea of yers gathered in the opennd.


    Even with hundreds of yers, the opennd still looked very spacious.


    There were loud discussions, and every eye was locked on the statue. Kizone narrowed his eyes before widening in surprise. There was a path right in the middle of the statue''s legs.


    He rubbed his beard and began to think of ways of entering the pathway first.


    Isaac was still examining the statue. His excellent eyesight managed to see something. In the sculpture, there were words carved.


    [Spring Realm]


    [Brown is correct]


    "Eh?" Isaac was now confident that it was the pathway to the second realm. But, the second text was rather odd.


    Oxwell stopped next to Kizone and looked around the opennd. Soon, his gaze was locked with his friend, who waved at him.


    He returned the wave with a chilly grin. Oxwell nced at Kizone and felt hate rising inside him. Then, he saw the white-haired youth and felt his veins boiling in anger.


    In front of the statue, multiple expedition groups were deciding who should enter first. The first team that found it had already entered, but they died almost instantly!


    No one was thick-skinned enough to go first.


    Then, out of nowhere, a loud scream appeared.


    "yer Wraith is here, famous immortal. He should go first, isn''t that right?!" The one who shouted was Oxwell, who grinned wickedly.


    "Idiot, what are you doing?!" Kizone snapped at him but only received a scoff from Oxwell.


    Every eye was locked on Isaac, whose face was not looking good.

 Chapter 340 Battle For Spring Realm (3)

    Kizone grabbed Oxwell''s ruff and questioned angrily, ''''What the hell are you nning?''''


    ''''Hmph!'''' Oxwell snorted and pushed Kizone to the side. He turned around and walked toward his friend, who was already waiting for him.


    Behind his friend, an extremely strong-looking group was looking at Kizone without any shred of respect.


    Kizone gritted his teeth and turned around. He could sense just with a nce that his team was nothingpared to them.


    Below the slope, hundreds of voices ovepped each other. Each one of them said that Wraith should try it out.


    In their eyes, he was immortal, making him an obvious choice to be the meat shield.


    Isaac jumped off the tiny cliff, while Kizone and the Medic tried to stop him but couldn''t grab him in time.


    Thud!


    Hended on the ground, sending a cloud of dust flying around.


    Every voice went silent, and everyone near him took a step back.


    Isaac raised his head, and his gray eyes made everyone''s skin have goosebumps.


    He stepped forth and began walking toward the entrance. Everyone who was blocking his path stepped to the side.


    Soon, he arrived in front of the statue. Isaac saw the path in front of him but was also amazed at the statue''s length. When he was further away, he couldn''t correctly tell how tall it was.


    If he had to guess, he would have said that the statue was around 20 meters in height.


    Isaac rubbed the back of his head and looked behind him. Everyone was looking at him with scrutinizing gazes. Then, he noticed many familiar faces. Members belonging to ck Arrow, Golden Crown, and League of Assassins.


    There was Darkside, who was surprisingly not with the League of Assassins. They were gathered around Deathsong, and at first nce, it looked like they had kicked Darkside out of their Guild.


    However, Darkside didn''t seem to care. Behind him, a group draped in dark tattered rags sent a chilly aura toward everyone close to them.


    Queen Diana and Darth were standing in front of the ck Arrow Members. Their faces didn''t look good, and the reason was quite clear.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' King Jonathan grabbed the hilt of his sword and looked at Isaac with a deep look. He had one of thergest teams around, and there was a reason for it. Pa nda


    Novel In the past event, he was the second person toplete Hidden Dungeon. That increased fame of the Golden Crown Guild explosively.


    Queen Diana was the sixth one toplete, and Darth was the seventh. That gave them much-needed fame. After all, everyone would like to join a Guild with a strong Guild Master and Vice Guild Master.


    However, they only brought their Core Members to the expedition.


    Every yer whopleted Hidden Dungeon was rtively known, except thest yer, named Lionsoul.


    No one had ever heard about him, which made him quite famous.


    Isaac turned his gaze away and focused on the path ahead. He took a breath and stepped forth. Soon, his body crossed the small distance, and he saw the corridor more clearly.


    There were rocky walls with holes, and the ground was filled with two-colored tiles, brown and white.


    The way tiles were ced was utterly random. At some point, brown and white tiles were next to each other. Then, the next row might be fully white-colored tiles.


    ''Those are definitely traps.'' Isaac thought as he looked at the holes. He heard about the discussion that hundreds of poison arrows attacked the first expedition team, and they couldn''t even fight back as they died.


    Isaac dropped his gaze and saw the different colored tiles. He put his hand on his chin and began pondering.


    The yers outside looked at him with serious looks. Everyone was examining every move of his.


    Many of them were skeptical. Not everyone believed that he was genuinely immortal. But, they wanted to get some clues on how to pass the first test.


    They couldn''t care less if he died.


    ''Wait¡­'' Isaac''s gray eyes dted. He examined the brown tiles very thoroughly, and he remembered the text written on the statue.


    Gulp!


    He wasn''t sure whether he should risk everything on a hunch, but having White Death was reassuring.


    ''''Fine¡­ Leap of faith.'''' Isaac raised his leg. It hovered right above the brown tile. Everyone outside narrowed their eyes and watched as Isaac''s leg slowly lowered.


    Tap!


    Isaac closed his eyes after putting his foot down. He waited for a second, and nothing happened. Then, five secondster, he opened his eyes.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' He wiped his sweat and ced his other foot on the brown tile. Then, in the second row, there were only white tiles.


    He leaped across andnded on the third row''s right tile, which was in the color brown. Again, nothing happened.


    Now, the yers outside understood that he had found out something!


    King Jonathan stood up and grinned, ''Brown tiles!''


    He looked at his members and said, ''''Follow me.''''


    Soon, everyone saw a group of armored figures with golden crown symbols striding toward the entrance.


    Darkside snorted and began walking. The tattered men followed after him. No one dared to stand in their path.


    Deathsong narrowed his eyes as Darkside walked past him. Their eyes didn''t lock because Darkside couldn''t care less about him.


    Soon, more yers began walking toward the entrance. Oxwell gritted his teeth after seeing the white-haired man somehow surviving!


    His friend looked at his expedition team, and they began whispering. Soon, they decided and began walking toward the entrance, followed by annoyed Oxwell.


    Kizone and his expedition team were rushing toward the entrance packed with yers.


    Inside the pathway, Isaac reached thest tile and entered the end. He took a breath of relief and saw a very dark path ahead. However, the end of the path had a light.


    Then, he heard the hurried footstepsing from the entrance. He looked behind and saw a crowd of yers entering the pathway, led by King Jonathan.


    They locked their eyes and nodded. Isaac turned around and began walking in the dark path while King Jonathan crossed the path with incredible agility.


    It took him only five seconds to reach the end.

 Chapter 341 Battle For Spring Realm (4)

    Isaac reached the end of the dark path and saw the next room. The room was filled with Knight Statues, and the ground was again covered by brown and white tiles.


    Each Knight was grabbing the hilt of their stone sword, and at first nce, they didn''t show any sign of life.


    ''''Hmm, this seems simple.'''' Isaac thought aloud and stepped forth. Once his foot touched the brown title, the room began shaking!


    Rumble!


    Grains of sands seeped through the rocky walls, and the Knights began moving.


    Crack!


    Their rusty joints made a loud crack sound. Every Knight Statue moved their limbs roughly and destroyed the rockyyer that enveloped them.


    Soon, the Knight Statues looked more human-like. Each one had stone gray eyes with a chest moving up and down like they were actually breathing.


    Their stone gray eyes turned toward pale-looking Isaac.


    Crack!


    They unsheathed their stone swords that had a de made of steel!


    Isaac counted all the Knights and reached the count of 9. He gulped and pulled his foot back, but that didn''t do anything.


    The Knights began moving straight toward him. They all had different grips on the hilts, and once they reached optimal attacking range, they swung their swords!


    Isaac put his hand forward and tried to pull his gun from the inventory. But then, an invisible wall stopped him from taking it.


    His eyes widened in shock, ''Weapons aren''t allowed to be used?!''


    Tap! Tap!


    From the dark, King Jonathan appeared with a sword in his hand. He swung the de toward the stone Knight, but then the sword disappeared from his hand, and he became unarmed!


    His eyes widened in a shock, and he saw the shadow of Knight Statue''s sword shadowing over him.


    Isaac moved his body to the side. The sword brushed past his cheek and made a small scratch on his thigh.


    King Jonathan leaped to the side. The Knight''s sword destroyed the ground effortlessly like he was cutting molten butter.


    Isaac dodged another sword while his mind was running in overdrive. He understood that he had to somehow cross the room and reach the other side toplete the test. However, the question was how!


    There was no path to take. Therge bodies of Knights blocked every direction, and jumping over them was basically a suicide.


    ''''Wraith!'''' King Jonathan''s voice came near him. Isaac turned his head and saw the blond-haired Knight weaving through the deadly sword strikes.


    ''''Yeah?'''' Isaac asked and took a step back. Only a secondter, a sword bombed his previous spot.


    ''''Do you have a skill that would help you pass this test?!'''' He asked and leaped across the Knight that was almost able to hit him. However, while airborne, he was an easy target and was attacked by two other Knights.


    Then, he crossed his arms into an X-formation, and an illusionary wall materialized in front of him.


    [Golden Wall Used!]


    The swords couldn''t pierce through the wall, allowing King Jonathan to safelynd on the ground. When he looked around him, he found himself surrounded by four Knight Statues, but there was a small gap where he could see the end of the room!


    ''''Yes!'''' Isaac''s voice came from the start of the room. He could not take a single step in the room, instead was being pushed back.


    King Jonathan gritted his teeth and dodged two horizontal shes by bending his body down. There was a limit to how long he could keep avoiding, and that limit was nearing!


    ''''Can you do it?! The only way to pass this test is to rush toward the end of the room simultaneously!''''


    Isaac pondered for a second and thought it would make sense. Trying to pass alone was a suicide.


    He nodded and saw two Knights approaching him. Isaac narrowed his eyes and could barely see King Jonathan surrounded by Knights, and it was a miracle that he was still alive.


    ''''Whew¡­ Let''s do this!'''' Isaac''s gray eyes began changing. A star pattern appeared on his pupils, and his body began to emit tiny light particles.


    [Marksman of Space Used!]


    The two Knights swung their swords. But, they went straight through Isaac''s illusionary figure as he suddenly disappeared!


    In the ceiling of the room, light particles began forming an illusionary human, who soon began to have flesh!


    A secondter, Isaac''s body appeared among the light particles. He was right above the Knights!


    His Marksman of Space allows him to barely teleport five meters, which already makes him exhausted.


    [Cooldown Begins!]


    [0:59¡­]


    There was also a one-minute countdown.


    The Knight sensed him and rotated around to look at the flying white-haired youth.


    King Jonathan saw this as a chance and began to emit a golden light, ''''Raah!''''


    [Golden Rush!]


    Boom!


    His glowing figure moved across the room and crashed straight through the Knight that stood in his path. Once the glowing began dimming down, his speed decreased until he was running at an average pace.


    There was no one in front of him, and the end of the room was only three meters away!


    Then, a white-haired youthnded right next to him. They nodded at each other and ran to the end of the room. Soon, they took their final steps, and the Knights following them stopped moving.


    A thickyer of rock wrapped them. They returned to their previous state, and it seemed like they were nothing but a nightmare.


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' King Jonathan hadn''t felt this exhausted in ages.


    Isaac looked away from the Knights and saw a dimly lit path. He patted his chest and began running.


    King Jonathan watched as he ran away and sighed, ''Have I gotten old? Howe his stamina is so crazy.''


    He caught his breath and began to run after the white-haired youth.


    While running toward the third room, they heard the sound of rock breaking. King Jonathan turned around and saw his Guild members about to face the Knights. He would love to help them, but even he barely survived.


    Soon, they reached the end of the dimly lit path and came across a room that looked rtively simple. There weren''t a-holes in the ceiling or statues. Instead, there were brown and white-colored tiles.


    At the end of the room was arge granite door. It was almost as big as the God Zephyros'' Statue.

 Chapter 342 God Zephyros (1)

    King Jonathan bent down and grabbed a tiny rock. He tossed it to the middle of the room and instantly went into a defensive position.


    He crossed his arms, ready to use Golden Wall.


    Isaac took cover behind King Jonathan. They watched as the pebblended on the ground and rolled across the room.


    Soon, they noticed that nothing was happening.


    ''''Maybe the weight wasn''t enough?'''' King Jonathan made his own conclusion.


    They didn''t rush and carefully examined every nook and croon of the room. Soon, more yers appeared. Everyone that arrived from the dimly lit path looked disheveled and tattered.


    King Jonathan whipped his head around and saw several of his subordinates appearing with exhausted looks. He went toward them and began whispering about what they had learned about the room so far.


    Ten minutester, the ce was already quite crowded. Most of the Core Members of the ck Arrow Guild had already gathered. They stayed in their own group, not nning to discuss the test with anyone else.


    Isaac moved his hand on the rough ground and thought this was strange. There wasn''t any clue or seemingly any traps. It waspletely different from the first two tests.


    That gave him another idea, was the third room really a test? The test could be behind arge door.


    The yers were getting irritated and impatient. Few eyes were locked on the white-haired youth, and they began discussing with their friends. A dangerous glint reflected from their eyes.


    Soon, one of them shouted, ''''Wraith should go first¡ª he is immortal after all!''''


    All discussions died down, and again, all eyes were on Isaac.


    Isaac frowned and turned around to see who spoke. Once he saw the culprit, he grimaced. The person was Oxwell. He somehow managed to crawl through the third test. He only followed everyone else during the first test and used everyone as a meat shield in the second.


    He was gathered among his friend and his group, which had several people missing. Even ck Arrow had a few Core Members that didn''t survive the second test.


    Each group had at least one.


    King Jonathan snapped, ''''If you are so impatient, you should go by yourself!''''


    Oxwell flinched and hid behind his friend. King Jonathan was the only person he truly feared. He was, after all, a yer in the top 100 of rankings!


    King Jonathan was currently the strongest person in Stronglord and also widely respected.


    However, few didn''t respect King Jonathan''s authority. Isaac was about to stand up but was pushed toward the room by a few burly men. Pa nda


    Novel ''''You are immortal. You should try!'''' Their reasoning was such. Their eyes showed evident ruthlessness.


    Then, a green-robed man pped their hands away. Darth stopped before them and made the burly men take a step back.


    Isaac looked at the back of Darth''s head. However, his feet were getting closer to the tiles. He was almost sure that there weren''t any traps.


    ''Listen to your instincts¡­'' Isaac''s vision swam through the room. His ears were riddled with the sound of arguments. Then, when the argument was about to get more heated.


    Isaac leaped forward, his clothes fluttering around him. King Jonathan widened his eyes in shock, and so did everyone else.


    Darth whipped his head around and screamed. What was he doing?!


    Everything became silent as Isaac''s feet got closer to the ground.


    Thud!


    Isaac''s knees bent down afternding on the ground. His eyes showed star patterns, and he was ready to use his skill if he chose wrong.


    The ce became quiet. The only sound came from the pebbles rolling on the ground and yers unable to hold their breath in.


    Isaac straightened his back slowly. He looked around, and his lip slowly curved upward.


    He took another step forth, and nothing happened. Soon, he leisurely walked and reached therge door.


    Then, he touched the door and tried to push it open. However, it didn''t even move an inch. Soon, more yers walked across the room after Isaac ensured there weren''t any traps.


    However, they weren''t helping him open the door. Isaac gritted his teeth and put both of his palms on the door. His muscles rattled, and veins protruded. However, he couldn''t move the hefty door, even a centimeter.


    Soon, he stopped trying and removed his hands from the door. Isaac turned around and saw the yers idling around.


    His eyebrow twitched as he angrily asked, ''''Are any of you nning to help me?''''


    The yers looked at each other. None of them had any intention of helping. They thought that there might be still traps ahead.


    Then, King Jonathan brushed past the yers and smashed his palms on the door. It didn''t move an inch, but he kept gritting his teeth and pushing forward.


    He rooted his feet on the ground, getting more stability, and did another strong push.


    This time, the door let out a sound of creak.


    Isaac ced his palms on the door and began pushing forth. Soon, more yers arrived. At first, it was Golden Crown members. Shortly afterward, ck Arrow members did the same.


    From the sea of yers, Kizone appeared with his expedition team that had been reduced to only four members.


    He, the Medic, Archaeologist, and a person with unique ss. They stopped in front of therge door and began pushing.


    The door began opening slowly. They could already see a room behind the door from a tiny gap. It was dimly lit, but they could tell it was arge room.


    ''''P-Push!'''' King Jonathan screamed. There were around thirty yers pushing, and that alone made the door open only slightly.


    There were over a hundred yers doing nothing. But, soon, they had enough of waiting and began pushing as well.


    That gave a much-needed boost, and soon, the door was wide open.


    ''''Haah!'''' Isaac let out a deep breath and almost copsed on the ground. His body was drenched in a sweat, and he debated whether this was what the other yers wanted.


    For them to waste all their energy reserves.


    The dimly lit room began having a shimmer of light. Soon, the whole room became visible. Everyone felt refreshed. Then, they saw arge man sitting on top of a throne.


    Therge man stood up slowly. His red eyes scanned through them all, which caused everyone to take a step back.


    It was almost an instinctive reaction.


    [Avatar of God Zephyros]


    [Level 100]


    [HP: 10000/10000]

 Chapter 343 God Zephyros (2)

    <h4>Chapter 343 God Zephyros (2)</h4>


    "Wha¡ª level 100?!" The yers were shocked. They retreated with mechanical movements, trying not to attract the God Zephyros'' ire.


    Then, God Zephyros stepped out of the tform. His footsteps made the ground quake.


    "I am God Zephyros'' avatar." He ced arge shield and a longsword before him and said, "To enter the second realm, you have to pass me!"


    King Jonathan felt a weight appearing around his hands out of nowhere. Once he dropped his gaze, he saw that he was holding his sword and shield.


    They were able to use their weapons again.


    Isaac also felt a weight appearing on his back. When he moved his head halfway, he saw the barrel of his sniper rifle.


    He pulled out his weapon and held it in his arms. Every yer did the same. They took their weapons and prepared forbat.


    "Everyone!" King Jonathan''s mighty shout was heard by everyone. He was the one who took the first step and continued until he was running at full speed.


    Everyone wondered what the hell was he doing.


    "I will block its strike. Use that timespan to send your attacks!" King Jonathan took the leading role. The yers thought that it sounded good. But, there were few who thought about using this to their advantage.


    They could kill King Jonathan with their long-ranged attack, and no one could tell it was them.


    A few grins were seen in the crowd, and they began aiming with either their guns or arrows.


    "Haah!" The Avatar of God Zephyros changed his grip and took a step forth, which sent a sand cloud forth.


    He moved the sword behind him and grabbed the hilt tighter until his blood vessels protruded and muscles bulged.


    Then, he sent a blindingly fast horizontal sh. The sword wasrge enough to reach the yers, making them pale in fright.


    However, then King Jonathan appeared on the sword''s path and ced his shield in front of him.


    BAM!


    The sword struck the shield, and at first nce, it looked like King Jonathan managed to block it. But then, the shield began cracking. The cracks looked like spiderwebs, and then it exploded, sending broken shield pieces flying around!


    King Jonathan crashed into the upper ceiling. Then, his body descended with a bloodied face and soon hit the floor.


    His HP was reduced from 820 all the way to 190.


    Now, the yers understood the danger the Avatar possessed!


    King Jonathan was perhaps the strongest yer present, and he was defeated by a single strike!


    Isaac bent down and then used his limbs like spring to jump in the air.


    He moved the gun forth and took aim before pulling the trigger.


    BANG!


    After firing his gun, a dozen Archers pulled their bowstrings before releasing and sending a flurry of arrows straight toward therge man.


    The Avatar of God Zephyros did another horizontal sh and destroyed the arrows with ease. Then, he noticed that a bullet had managed to pass his guard.Pa nda


    Novel When the bullet was only several meters away from contact, God Zephyros'' Avatar ced his shield in front of him and made the bullet slingshot away.


    "Hmph!" An unmistakable snort from him irritated the yers, who were respected in their own circles. None of them were willing to be belittled by mere NPC.


    Then, the Avatar took a giant stride forward and moved across the room with his sword shing forth. He left behind a dozen corpses that soon turned into light blue pixels.


    Some distance away from him, Queen Diana took out a pink-colored arrow and ced it on his bow. Then, she pulled the string and said in her sweet tone, "Beautiful Love!"


    The Avatar raised his head and quickly whipped around with a shield ced in front of him. The pink arrow snapped in half after hitting the shield.


    He looked at the beautiful woman, ''She is dangerous!''


    The Avatar could tell the danger Queen Diana possessed and decided to take care of her!


    He lunged forward with his sword ced over his head. Then, the Avatar swung the de down and could see the green robes fluttering as she dodged with room to spare.


    He frowned and was about to go after her. Then, he saw colors shing and noticed over dozen ming ballsing straight toward him!


    The Avatar of God Zephyros quickly blocked them all with his shield. However, he was forced to take a step back. The Spellcasters thought with glee that their attacks had worked. Then, their gleeful looks turned into horror.


    The Avatar pointed his sword toward the ceiling and shouted, "Spring Fall!"


    Crack!


    The ceiling cracked before copsing, The debris of the roof had a hue of orange, and its weight increased by a hundredfold!


    Spellcasters tried to jump away but were buried within the debris and died without being able to shout for mercy.


    "Rah!"


    Then, out of nowhere, King Jonathan appeared behind the Avatar and stabbed his sword forth. Once the sword''s steel tip grazed the Avatar''s shinbone, his facade turned grim.


    The sword couldn''t prate the Avatar''s armor, and he was now entirely under his mercy.


    "Oh, you returned just to die?" The Avatar''s lip curve upward. Then, he stabbed his enormous sword down at King Jonathan, who had already closed his eyes.


    Bam!


    "Ah!"


    Then, a bullet made of icended on the Avatar''s hand, which caused the sword to slip from his hold!


    The swordnded next to King Jonathan, only an inch away from beheading him. He shakily opened his eyes and was amazed to see the sword only an inch away from his face.


    He could see his bloodied reflection, causing him to wipe the blood away with his sleeve.


    The Avatar whipped his head toward the direction where the bullet came. He saw the white-haired youth holding a gun with a cold air oozing from the barrel.


    Isaac put his finger on the trigger and fired another bullet.


    This time, the Avatar smacked the bullet away and stood up in a hurry. He pulled his sword from the ground and lunged toward Isaac. He could sense the danger the seemingly weak white-haired boy possessed. He could not allow him to move freely!

 Chapter 344 God Zephyros (3)

    <h4>Chapter 344 God Zephyros (3)</h4>


    ''''Good job!'''' Then, Darth''s voice rang in Isaac''s ears. He saw a blur of green whooshing through the air with an arrow ced on the bowstring and arm pulled back.


    Darth closed his left eye and removed his hand from the arrow. The arrow flew across the air. However, The Avatar smashed the arrow with his shield and took a quick leap forward, his sword raised up.


    Isaac lifted his head and saw the gigantic figure of the Avatar shadowing over him. The sword began descending. Then, out of nowhere, the grainy ground began turning soft!


    ''''Eh?'''' The Avatar let out a voice of surprise. He looked down and saw his feet sinking!


    Near the enormous granite door. Thest remaining Spellcasters were chanting a spell. Their canes were glowing in a musky color of green.


    The ground below the Avatar turned swampy, which was the moment everyone had waited for. The Avatar of God Zephyros was concentrated on trying to free his legs and didn''t manage to see hundreds of arrows whooshing toward him.


    Bam! Whack! Thwack!


    The remaining yers unleashed their attacks. The room was colored by shes of spectral-like lights. The attacks managed tond sessfully, and the Avatar was pushed back by a step, but that also allowed him to escape the swamp ground.


    [-3000 HP!]


    The yers stopped attacking and were amazed to see the extent of damage they managed to do. None of them had seen an attack of over 1000 HP, let alone 3000!Pa nda


    Novel Isaac stopped firing and saw his chamber empty. He retreated for the time being and waited for his short cooldown to end.


    Then, a loud screech came from the Avatar. His blood vessels protruded, and the sword began radiating a chilly, light bluish color.


    The Avatar moved his sword behind and took a wide-shing stance, ''''Hurting me was a big mistake!''''


    The yers paled and did whatever they could to block the iing attack.


    ''''Haaaah!'''' The Avatar of God Zephyros swung the sword around him before stopping for a split second and continuing with a chop.


    WHACK!


    CRACK!


    The room changed colors. The dimly lit room shaded with a yellowish hue became hell. A radiant color of blue began spreading, and everyone touched by the color died instantly!


    King Jonathan ced himself in front of his subordinates and made an X-sign with his arms, ''''Golden Wall!''''


    A beautiful golden-colored wall with hexagon symbols appeared in front of him. Behind him, his subordinates took cover and hoped that the shield would hold on with all their heart!


    Queen Diana was surrounded by other Core Members of ck Arrow. Each one of them had a grim facade. Then, Darth ced himself in front of them and nted one of his arrows on the rocky ground.


    ''''Full Layer!''''


    In front of Darth, the arrow began glowing before multiplying!


    Soon, a wall made of thousands of arrows stood proudly. Every member of ck Arrow took cover and prepared for the impact.


    Some distance away, Darkside pulled out a shred of paper. He jiggled it around his hands before cing it on the ground.


    The men with tattered rags appeared around him.


    ''''I didn''t think I would have to use this so soon¡­'''' Darth mumbled under his breath. Then, he unsheathed his dagger, made a tiny cut on his pinky, and let the drops of blood drip down to the piece of paper.


    Once the bloodnded on the paper, it began changing colors. It turned into a dense red color. Then, the paper seeped into the ground, and from there, a dome circled around them, trapping Darkside and the men with tattered rags inside.


    Soon, the blue color reached the yers. There were many who couldn''t defend themselves and were killed almost instantly.


    One of them was Isaac. The color of blue touched his clothes and began turning him into ashes!


    He was trying to take his clothes off, but the color covered him entirely in only a second. Then, when his body was about to turn into pixels, his body reappeared, and the color blue was somehow destroyed!


    [White Death Used!]


    There was a certain someone that noticed his survival. Oxwell never entered the room and was hiding behind the open granite doors. His eyes were red out of envy after seeing Isaac surviving the deadly attack like it was no problem!


    He wasn''t the only one. Kizone had retreated furthest away from everyone. He was thest remaining yer on his expedition team. The cute Medic died in the first minute, and the Archaeologist died shortly after her.


    Only the yer with Unique ss, Samurai, managed to survive the first attacks but couldn''t persist against the previous attack.


    By coincidence, he managed to see Isaac surviving without any problem. He gritted his teeth and thought, how could such skill be allowed?!


    It didn''t make any sense to him or Oxwell. They had crazy theories of Wraith being Arthur''s son, even though it was widely known that he didn''t have children.


    But, their jealousy was clouding their mind.


    Thud!


    The ground shook after the Avatar took another step. He scanned the remaining yers and took a note of the most dangerous ones, Isaac included.


    Then, he moved his sword in front and leaped forth!


    ¡­


    Ten minutester.


    The number of yers had reduced by a scary amount. Only yers with either ck, green, or golden armor were left. Then, there was Isaac, who was among the yers on the front line of the fight.


    The crackedrge mirrors on theyered ceiling danced in the flickering light while statues and carved images looked down upon the broken floor of the dusty hall.


    Then, the Avatar emerged from the shadows and hammered his sword down. The yers below him couldn''t see him and were killed by the flying debris.


    Whack!


    Another bulletnded on his head. The Avatar screamed with anger, and like hundreds of times before, he wanted to rip the white-haired youth''s head off!


    However, he couldn''t reach him. Isaac was lying t on the ground with his weapon in front. The ck Arrow and Golden Crown kept the Avatar busy while he provided them long-ranged support.


    It worked perfectly, and soon, the Avatar''s HP was reduced even more!


    [HP: 999/10000]

 Chapter 345 - God Zephyros (4)

    Chapter 345 - God Zephyros (4)


    ''''Haaahh!'''' The yers began seeing a chance of winning. Their eyes shimmered in a light of hope.


    Then, the Avatar ced a shield in front of him and was getting pushed back step by step. His face looked rather droopy and scary. A drip of blue blood dripped down from the corner of his mouth.


    In his vision, he saw his life seeping out from his corpse. The light of spring was nowhere to be seen, and he seemed like a mortal.


    ''Me¡­ Die? Never!'' The Avatar of God Zephyros'' moved his shield forth and destroyed the attacks. A shockwave followed after the sudden movement, and a few yers were knocked out from their feet.


    King Jonathan nted his feet on the ground and managed to fight back. Then, he moved his sword in front of him and shouted, ''''Attack!''''


    ''''Yeah!'''' His subordinates screamed in unison and began marching forth.


    ''''Jonathan, don''t!'''' Then, Queen Diana''s voice came from the side. King Jonathan didn''t stop moving. Instead, turned to look at Queen Diana with a questioning look.


    ''''The Avatar is doing something!'''' King Jonathan could hear her clearly. He raised his arm and stopped marching. His subordinates followed after and began motionless.


    Everyone turned to look at the Avatar that was glowing in radiant red!


    ''''Haahhhh¡­'''' For some reason, the sound of Avatar''s breath caused everyone to take a step back. Some distance away, Isaac stood up and frowned.


    ''''Haah!'''' The God Zephyros'' Avatar roared at the ceiling, and soon, his protruding vessels began glowing in red. Then, he moved his toes before leaping forth!


    Everyone was alerted after the Avatar made a sudden movement. They looked where he was going and saw him running toward the wide-open door!


    In there, Kizone and Oxwell paled. While Oxwell turned around and fled. Kizone couldn''t leave the room. There was some kind of invisible wall stopping him from taking even one step.


    The Avatar''s ghostly shadow loomed over him. When he turned around, he saw the approaching sword.


    Only one question arose in his mind, why him?!


    Then, when the sword was about to descend, a bullet whooshed through the air andnded squarely on the Avatar''s jaw.


    ''''Arghh!'''' The Avatar lost his reasoning. He turned his gaze away from Kizone and began seeing red as he saw the white-haired youth holding his sniper rifle.


    Crack!


    The ground cracked as he lunged forth. His body became blurry as he dodged every attack thrown at him and soon reached Isaac''s pale figure.


    He raised his sword and grabbed it with both of his hands. Then, he hammered it down with a shout of rage, ''''HAAAAAAAAH!''''


    Isaac bent down and then jumped up. His legs moved like a spring, and he managed to jump high enough to be at the same eye-height as the Avatar.


    He could clearly see the Avatar''s rage-filled red eyes. The sword crashed down to the ground and destroyed another part of the hall.


    Their eyes were locked, and it seemed like the time had stopped. Every yer present widened their eyes in shock and thought that Isaac would die.


    Then, Isaac positioned his gun in front of him and pulled the trigger. The recoil pushed him a meter back, but that wasn''t anything to him anymore.


    ''''Hmph!'''' The Avatar saw the bulleting slowly toward him. He angled his head to the side and followed the bullet with his crazed eyes.


    The bullet was nowhere from hitting. Instead, it passed the Avatar and drilled through the wall on the other side of the hall.


    The Avatar changed the grip on his sword and did an upward sh. He hoped his next attack would be enough to slice Isaac in half.


    However, Isaac pointed the sniper rifle''s barrel to the side and pressed the trigger. The recoil pushed him to the side, allowing him to dodge the deadly sh.


    Then, hended on the ground, but he saw a shadow looming over him. When he raised his head, his eyes shook as he saw the enormous sword falling straight down to him!


    Isaac quickly spun the gun around and pulled the trigger. p anda


    Novel Bang!


    The Avatar frowned but didn''t stop shing down. He thought his sword would be enough to defend against the bullet.


    However, the next moment shocked everyone!


    [Wraith''s Shot Used!]


    Isaac''s lip curved upward as he shouted, ''''Fake!''''


    ''''Eh?'''' The Avatar pondered what that meant. He thought that his sword would contact the bullet. Then, a tiny projectile phased through his steel sword and flew straight toward him!


    His eyes shook in a shock, ''''Wha¡ª''''


    ''''Real!''''


    Whack!


    The bullet drilled through the Avatar''s eye, leaving a sizeable hole behind. He wobbled back and was one step away from falling down. However, he leaned forth and managed to stabilize himself.


    However, there was a wretched pain assaulting his nerves. The Avatar let out an agony-filled shout. While screaming, he felt the hot liquid pouring down from the hole.


    [-500 HP]


    [HP: 324/10000]


    ''''Everyone, attack!'''' Following Isaac''s attack, King Jonathan took control of the yers and ordered the attack. His subordinates followed his orders blindly and began running toward the Avatar, who hadn''t stopped screaming.


    ''''Ahhhh, I will never lose!'''' The Avatar smashed his shield down, which had enough strength to make everyone near him fly away!


    Isaac flew across the air and crashed painfully on the rocky ground. He rolled for several meters before finallying to a stop with blood-riddled arms.


    ''''Spring Time!'''' After the shout, King Jonathan knew that something was horribly wrong. He stopped and motioned for his subordinates to put shields forth.


    The Golden Crown Members circled around King Jonathan with their shield nted on the ground.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Queen Diana and the rest of the ck Arrow Members stopped and began looking at the ceiling.


    From the tiny gaps and cracks of the ceiling, orange leaves began dropping. Everyone stopped and looked at the beautiful sight.


    Soon, the leaves dropped down to the ground. One of the yers stretched his hand forward and tried to catch the leaf.


    The leafnded on his hand. Then, something unbelievable happened. His skin began rotting with speed visible to the eye, and he couldn''t even let out a scream as he was shrouded by hundreds of leaves.


    Then, his body disappeared from the World of White.


    King Jonathan paled and shouted, ''''Don''t touch the leaves!''''


    However, his order came toote.

 Chapter 346 - God Zephyros (5)

    Chapter 346 - God Zephyros (5)


    "Ahhh!" The yers touched by leaves screamed in horror before getting enveloped by hundreds of leaves. Their bodies became thousands of tiny pixels before disappearing wholly.


    King Jonathan weaved through the falling leaves. His subordinates weren''t as skilled, and they started dying like flies.


    "Haahhh¡­" He was trying desperately to dodge the leaves, but even he had his limits. His body froze after a single leafnded on his shoulder.


    King Jonathan''s mind ran in overdrive, and he did the first thing that popped up in his mind. He ced the de of his sword under his armpit and cut his arm off!


    His arm dropped to the ground. Soon, the whole arm was cocooned by hundreds of leaves. However, King Jonathan was still fine even though he had a wound gushing out with blood.


    On the other side of the hall, Isaac weaved through the leaves with masterful uracy. His eyes scanned every leaf that was about to fall down on him, and then he figured out the best possible way to dodge and did that with perfect uracy.


    The White Death''s ability allowed him to stay hyper-focused, which was a great help for him. However, the Avatar aimed arge portion of the leaves at him. He couldn''t keep dodging forever and had to think of a way to retreat.


    He took a step back, dodging another dozen or so leaves. Then, he turned around. In the distance, he could see several broken pirs filled with crevices. They seemed to berge enough for him to take shelter.


    Then, out of nowhere, he felt a sharp and pointy thing touching his abdomen. When he turned his head, his body shook as he saw Kizone grinning at him while the de of his sword rested on his hip.


    "What are you doing?!" Isaac, of course, questioned Kizone''s intentions. He could feel the looming threat of the leaves, and he had to move, or he would get hit by the leaves!


    Kizone circled around him until Isaac perfectly blocked the leaves from hitting him. He grinned and snickered, "You are immortal. You won''t die."


    Isaac bit his lip and wanted to cram the barrel of his weapon into Kizone''s throat and fill it with lead. However, he had to shake those thoughts away and decide on a n to survive this ordeal.


    Then, several leavesnded on his back and began seeping through his clothes and skin. His face paled, and he hoped that the White Death was still working. Soon, the leaves started moving around his skin before disappearing into pixels.


    Kizone gritted his teeth after seeing the scene, "That''s so unfair¡­ Howe you got such powerful skill? You are indeed Arthur''s son or nephew!"


    Isaac''s eyebrow twitched after hearing such a crazy im.


    Thud! Thud! Thud!


    They both heard loud running stepsing straight toward them. Isaac nced behind and saw the Avatar of God Zephyros swinging his sword.


    Because of the shock, Kizone forgot to keep his sword''s de in Isaac''s hip, which gave him more space to move. Isaac saw this as a chance and jumped to the side.


    Kizone woke up from his stupor and realized his blunder. He raised his sword and tried to cut Isaac. Then, the Avatar''s sword began descending, and Kizone had to abort the attack, or he would die.


    He quickly ced his shield in front of him and had to watch as the sword slowly got nearer. His face paled, and his legs became jelly. His breath became rapid and vision hazy.


    Then, the Avatar''s sword was chopped into the shield.


    Crack!


    The shield broke from a single scratch, and Kizone was sent flying away. However, he still survived. Hended on the ground and let out a grunt of pain.


    He tried to breathe but felt like a lump was stuck in his throat, which stopped the airing from the lungs.


    Again, another shadow loomed over him. Kizone shakily turned toward the shadow and saw the Avatar''s red eyes gazing down on him. Their eyes locked for a second before the sword struck him down.


    Kizone''s body became limp, and the light dimmed down in his eyes. His body began turning into pixels slowly. Starting from toes. His legs were the first to disappear, then his torso, and finally his arms and the head.


    After seeing the scene, every yer had one thought, but none of them could voice it out. Except one. Isaac stood up and shouted, "Let''s leave. We can''t win!"


    King Jonathan looked at his trembling hand and nodded, "Y-Yeah, let''s leave!"


    His voice was the one that unleashed the chaos. The yers dropped their weapons and fled toward the open door.


    However, when they were about to take a step out, their bodies collided with an invisible wall. They started screaming and began pounding the solid air.


    King Jonathan sheathed his sword and ran toward the invisible wall. Then, he saw the scene of the yers unable to leave.


    His face paled, and he thought they were destined to die.


    "Get out of the way!" Out of nowhere, Darkside appeared with his group of tattered yers. He looked around and snorted after not seeing members of the League of Assassins anywhere.


    They either died or never reached this far.


    King Jonathan frowned and wondered what he was nning to do.


    Darkside pulled out a weapon from his inventory. It was a dagger but seemed rather odd. The de was somewhat illusionary and transparent.


    They thought that it was a fake weapon. But then, he used it to cut the invisible wall, and something spectacr happened!


    The dagger managed to slice through the invisible wall like it was nothing. Slowly, the de began to tear the wall apart, however, he needed time, and Darkside knew it.


    Darkside whipped his head around and saw Isaac looking at the Avatar. They were standing a hundred meter away from them, and for some reason, neither of them were attacking.


    "You bastard!" Darkside''s shout attracted Isaac''s attention. He slightly angled his head to see Darkside and the group of yers.


    "Keep him busy!" Darkside''s "order" was rtively simple. He needed time, and Isaac''s immortality seemed to be the best way of doing it.


    Queen Diana and Darth wanted to retort. However, Isaac''s answer came soon.


    "Sure." He answered and tightened his grasp on the gun. The Avatar raised his sword slowly. He couldn''t care less about the others yers, but the white-haired human must die!

    Chapter 347 - God Zephyors (6)


    [Marksman of Space Used!]


    Isaac''s figure became particles shaped like miniature stars. After disappearing, he popped up from thin air. He dropped his gaze and saw the Avatar''s enormous head.


    "Argh!" However, the Avatar''s reflexes were inhuman, and he pped Isaac away with the back of his palm.


    Crash!


    Isaac''s clothes became tattered as he bounced on the ground several times. Soon, his body''s velocity dropped significantly after crashing with rock debris.


    Isaac slid on the ground for dozen meters before finallying to a stop. His HP showed a scary 600 drop. He shook his head, trying to stop his ears from ringing.


    The scene was witnessed by the pale-faced yers. King Jonathan whipped his head around and screamed, "Hurry up!"


    Darkside gritted his teeth, "I am trying!"


    The invisible wall reacted after he did the first cut. It became denser and more durable. The dagger moved inch by inch, but there was a sign of a hole about to form!


    Queen Diana paced back and forth. She rubbed her forehead and asked, "Shouldn''t we help him?!"


    She wanted to rush there and assist Isaac. But Darth and others keep telling her that it was risky. If they garner the Avatar''s ire, he could finally see that the yers were trying to escape.


    Darth sighed and said, "We can''t."


    A deep, resigned sight left Queen Diana''s pink lips. She turned and tightened her fist as she saw Darkside struggling to cut the invisible wall.


    Thud! Thud!


    Then, the whole room shook as the Avatar hammered his sword down. The ground that was touched by the sword broke apart. Large craters appeared, and the broken debris began flying across the room.


    The yers had to be very careful of not being identally hit by the aftermath of the fight.


    That attack was evaded by Isaac. He could feel strands of his neck hair standing up in slight fear. Each attack was powerful enough to pulverize every cell of his body.


    While airborne, he spun around and pulled the trigger instantly after ensuring that the Avatar was in his line of sight.


    The Avatar ced his backhand in front and sent the bullet flying far away. Then, he did a wide sh. The sword struck the pir and cut it neatly in half.


    Isaac hid behind the broken pir and ducked down. He could feel the broken parts of the pir falling around him. Dust particles covered his hair in a brownish hue.


    While hiding, his clothes began fixing themselves. His exposed skin had some strange hexagon symbols. Then, the skin was covered by the self-fixing outfit.


    Isaac looked down and saw that his outfit had returned to its previous state. He felt relieved because it would be a tragedy if he lost the outfit he had grown fond of.


    Whoosh!


    A bone-chilling sound came above him. Isaac saw the enormous figure of the Avatar leaping over the pir andnding on the ground only three meters from him.


    The Avatar of God Zephyros spun around and did a low-curved sh.


    Isaac sprang up and jumped over the broken pir. Hended right on top of the destroyed debris and watched as the rest of the pir was broken until nothing was left.


    Once the Avatar''s sword cut through the rock, it was like a sight from Isaac''s wildest fantasies. Every grain, fiber, and particle of the stone was pulverized until nothing was left.


    Isaac flipped the gun around and ced it perfectly on his favorite shooting stance. He pulled the trigger and used a skill that had been problematic to the Avatar.


    [Wraith''s Shot Used!]


    The Avatar covered his body behind the shield and nted his feet on the ground. Then, his ears caught a word fake.


    The bullet phased through his shield again. However, the Avatar was prepared for it!


    Soon, the word real followed. Then, the Avatar stepped to the side and felt the bullet grazing his hip but didn''t manage to prate his durable armor!


    "Nice try!" The Avatar bellowed and changed the grip of his sword. It looked like he was trying to use the de like a spear!


    He pushed the sword down and tried to spear through Isaac''s body.


    However, Isaac had already jumped away from the debris andnded on the hard ground. His knees were shaking oncending on the floor. He could tell that his Stamina was running out, and his body couldn''t handle the stress.


    BOOM!


    Crack!


    The mountain of the debris was destroyed into smithereens. Behind the destruction, the Avatar appeared with the sword positioned over his head.


    Isaac spun around and began firing icy shots. The bullets made of ice managed tond on the Avatar, but they couldn''t hold him in his ce.


    The Avatar moved his limbs around and destroyed theyers of ice. Then, he chased after Isaac while sending a rain of sword shes at him.


    Isaac barely avoided the dozens of attacks. Then, the Avatar did a horizontal sh, and Isaac ducked right under it.


    His lips trembled as he felt the sharp de brushing past. From the sword''s tip, a ray of sword beam left and flew across the hall.


    Boom!


    The sword beam crashed with the wall and destroyed arge portion of it. Behind the wall, a space of nothingness appeared.


    The yers who saw the scene had their jaws dropped. Then, they saw the unusual space of nothingness. They had an itching feeling that they would be torn and mutted if they entered that space.


    "This is the pathway to the second realm!" The Avatar shouted. He was showing his unbelievable prowess and was making a statement.


    "Weaklings aren''t allowed to pass!"


    In front of the invisible wall, Darkside did the final cut and saw a portion of the invisible wall disappearing. There was a big enough gap to fit a person if they crouched.


    He tried it out and took a tiny step forth. Soon, his lip curved upward after seeing that nothing was stopping him!


    Darkside crouched and went through the hole. Once he stood up, he was outside the hall and felt relief washing over him.


    The men with tattered rags followed after. Their movement attracted other yers'' attention, and they began arguing about who should go first.


    But, King Jonathan spoke some sense into them. They have to be quiet, or the Avatar would notice them.


    The yers nodded with jerky movements and looked at the rampaging Avatar with visible fear.


    King Jonathan allowed everyone else to leave first. He watched the match between the Avatar and Isaac. He was genuinely amazed that the white-haired youth was still alive and kicking.


    None of them could have survived this long, not even him. King Jonathan nced at his trembling hand and clenched it before others noticed.


    Soon, every yer had gone through the hole. Then, King Jonathan followed after them.


    Only Avatar and Isaac were left in the hall, and their fight was about to end.

 Chapter 348 - The Avatar Reigned Supreme

    Chapter 348 - The Avatar Reigned Supreme.


    ''''Wraith!'''' Darth shouted. He and Queen Diana tried to attract Isaac''s attention.


    Crash!


    The Avatar''s enormous sword broke the ground and sent a wave of dust at Isaac''s retreating figure.


    Isaac''s white hair fluttered behind him as he leaped forward and sent a storm of icy bullets toward the Avatar.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Creak!


    A denseyer of ice began forming in the Avatar''s armor. His legs became stiff, and he could feel his bones bing frozen.


    ''''Rah!'''' He changed his grip on the sword and struck the ice with the blunt side of the de.


    Crack¡­


    The ice began slowly shrinking away. However, Isaac had already begun bolting toward the open door. There was a mix of sounds entering his ear. The sound of ice breaking and the shouting of the yers.


    Behind ck Arrow members, the pale-looking yers pointed at the Avatar, who managed to break the ice and was already running toward the white-haired youth. They tried to convince King Jonathan to close the door because they weren''t confident that the invisible wall could hold the Avatar back!


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' Isaac nced at his frosty fingers and knew that his body won''t be able to handle more icy shots. But, the Marksman of Space was still on the cooldown, and nothing else could help him in this dire situation.


    Thud!


    The Avatar''s enormous footnded only several meters away from him. It was a do-or-die situation, and Isaac had to make his decision.


    The Avatar raised his sword overhead. His hazy yet rageful eyes forced the looks of hope away from the yer''s faces.


    The sword began slowly falling like a fiery meteor.


    Isaac''s eyes lingered in the direction of the open door. It was only short ten meters away, but that distance was impossible to be crossed. His hair stands stood in the end as he felt the breeze of wind grazing past his neck.


    Ding! Ding!


    [White Death Deactivated!]


    ''I¡­'' The message he never wanted to see appeared. He already felt the focus seeping away from his body long ago. It was only a matter of time before the White Death was deactivated, and it happened at the worst possible time.


    Isaac''s feet became heavier, and his HP bar flickered with red. Only a mere 1 HP was shown in the bar, and he would die just from scratch.


    The Avatar had already extended his arms forward. Therge de was only meters away from slicing the white-haired youth in half.


    ''''Haaahhh¡­'''' A puff of cold air left Isaac''s lungs, which was thest thing he saw before everything went dark. At least, in his vision, everything was dark.


    ''''?!'''' The Avatar halted his attack and felt a breeze of cold air running past him. He slowly moved the sword out of the way to get at a closer look at the white-haired youth.


    ''''Eh?'''' King Jonathan took a step back and felt a cold like never before. Same with everyone else. It didn''t matter whether one was a ck Arrow or Golden Crown member. Everyone stepped away from the invisible wall.


    Suddenly, the invisible wall began freezing. The denseyer of ice blocked the man-sized hole and blocked everyone''s sight of the hall.


    ''''Wraith!'''' Darth screamed out after not seeing the white-haired youth anywhere. He realized that Isaac was still in the hall,pletely trapped!


    ¡­


    Inside the hall.


    The Avatar rested his sword on his shoulder and asked, ''''Who the hell are you?''''


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' The white-haired youth let out another puff of cold air. His closed eyes began slowly opening. The gray eyes were as same as previously. However, the pupils had a snowke pattern!


    [White Death Activated!]


    The Avatar felt like something was wrong with the human boy. He couldn''t tell what it was, but he felt goosebumps running through his body.


    ''''Well¡­ Doesn''t matter.'''' He raised his sword and chopped it down!


    BAM!


    The sword destroyed the ground, and he thought that the white-haired youth had died.


    However, then he felt something on his shoulder. The Avatar slowly turned to look at his right shoulder and widened his eyes in shock!


    A white-haired youth was sitting right on top of his shoulder. However, his hair was slowly turning into ice!


    ''''W-What!'''' He pped at his shoulder and tried to smack the white-haired youth like a bug. But he felt like he didn''t touch anything.


    After raising his hand, he saw his bare shoulder, and the white-haired youth had disappeared.


    Then, he dropped his gaze and saw the white-haired youth standing in front of the iceyered door, slowly breaking it apart!


    ''''No, you won''t!'''' The Avatar changed his grasp and did a horizontal sh. This time, his muscles bulged, and blood vessels protruded. He put all his strength into this single strike.


    The white-haired youth-only moved his head halfway and jumped over the sharp de. After the sword had missed him, hended on the ground and saw that the hole had reappeared on the iceyer.


    He took another look at the shocked Avatar, who couldn''t believe his eyes.


    ''''Who¡­ Are you?'''' The Avatar of God Zephyros asked one more time. But, he didn''t receive a reply as the white-haired youth stepped out of the hall, and after that, the granite doors closed shut.


    Thud!


    The Avatar dropped his sword and felt some strange feeling sprouting in his heart. He touched his chest and felt the pounding heart, ''''Is this¡­ fear?''''


    ¡­


    ''''Wraith!'''' Darth bolted forward and stopped next to the white-haired youth, whose eyes seemed unfocused.


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac''s eyes fluttered as he looked around him with confusion, ''''What¡­ Where am I?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Darth frowned and said, ''''You left the hall¡­ Right, how the hell did you do that?''''


    ''I left the hall?'' Isaac turned around and saw the closed granite door. His eyes widened in shock, and he couldn''t remember anything, ''Didn''t I die?''


    Ding! Ding!


    Everyone''s attention was shifted to the swarm of announcements.


    [DEFEAT!]


    [God Zephyros'' Avatar reigned supreme and managed to win against thebined forces of humanity!]

 Chapter 349 - Maxwell’s Office

    Chapter 349 - Maxwell¡¯s Office


    Isaac and the rest of the yers were also surprised that they received prizes even after defeat. Only five of the yers managed to get any reward, while others had to leave empty-handed.


    Many were displeased, but the countdown to the next battle attracted many to try it out.


    Most of the yers pulled out their purple-colored tickets and ripped them in half. They disappeared and left a pile of floating pixels behind.


    ''74 level¡­'' Isaac thought after seeing his new level. There were also 30 Stat Points, and he assigned them without thinking too deeply.


    ''''Well then¡­ See you in a week.'''' King Jonathan pulled out his purple ticket from his pocket.


    Queen Diana and Darth nodded at him. Isaac turned around to look at him and their eyes locked.


    ''''You will join the next battle?'''' King Jonathan asked Isaac.


    ''''Yep,'''' Isaac replied.


    ''''Heh, good.'''' King Jonathan''s mouth curved upward. He felt much safer knowing that the white-haired youth wouldpete in the next battle. In his mind, the chances of victory became much higher.


    Rip!


    He ripped the ticket in half and disappeared.


    Isaac took out the ticket and fidgeted it around his hands. He talked with the ck Arrow members for a short while. Then, they used their tickets and went back to the Stronglord.


    Darkside and the men with tattered rags were the first ones to disappear. Most of them nced at Isaac and wondered how he managed to escape from the Avatar.


    After Isaac was alone. He nced at the granite door, and since he had escaped the hall. He had felt some weird sensation around his skin. It felt like he was cocooned in ayer of ice and could feel a dull pain.


    He shook his head and ripped the ticket in half. Then, he saw his vision swimming as his body was teleported away.


    ¡­


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac copsed on the bed after logging out of the game.


    ''''How did I escape?'''' He felt like there was a void in his mind that stopped him from remembering something very important.


    He shook his head and sat up in his bed. Then, he saw the clock and thought that his parents must be in the living room.


    That gave him an idea, ''''Should I go¡­ Check my father''s office¡­''''


    At first, he thought he shouldn''t, but he couldn''t stop his adventurous spirit from igniting. Isaac jumped to his two feet and left his room.


    With sneaky and inaudible steps, he walked past his sibling''s room and moved toward Maxwell''s office.


    Soon, he reached the office door and saw that the room was dark underneath the door. Then, he looked around him and saw nothing except the bright hallway.


    He grabbed the door handle and opened the door slowly. His heart pounded in anxiousness, and soon, he could see the office. At first, he only managed to see the wooden desk with stacks of papers piled on top and theputer monitor standing in the middle.


    Isaac stepped inside the office and closed the door behind him. He didn''t turn the light switch on, instead, crept toward the painting that showed his grandparents and a younger version of his father.


    Then, he took it off the wall and gently ced it on the ground. He saw the safe and saw that there was a lock mechanism.


    It needed a key code, which made Isaac ponder, ''''What could it be¡­''''


    He knew that he couldn''t waste his time. Otherwise, he would get caught. Then, he began pressing on the numbers and dialed his father''s birth date.


    Beep!


    An ear-piercing sound came, and a red light flickered. Isaac felt his heart exploding in nervousness. The sound was much louder than he anticipated.


    ''''Alright¡­ It isn''t his birthday.'''' Isaac pondered for a second and thought about trying one more time. His finger hovered in front of the numbers, and at first, he thought about dialing his mother''s birth date. ?????-?????


    Then, he thought about typing his birthday date, ''''It can''t be¡­ Right?''''


    Ding¡­


    Isaac pressed the first number and continued until his birth date was on the tiny screen. Then, he tapped the enter button and was prepared to scurry away if the ear-piercing sound came.


    However, he heard a soft clicking sound and saw that the safe opened!


    Isaac''s heartbeat increased, and he slowly opened the safe. It waspletely empty, except for a small wooden box with carved symbols.


    He took it away from the safe and ced it gently on his father''s desk. Then, he turned on the desk light, and the area around the wooden box was enveloped in a honey-colored hue.


    ''''Let''s see¡­'''' Isaac turned the box around and saw an opening mechanism for the box. However, it looked like he could just flip it open.


    He tried it and saw the lock that kept the box closed was unlocked just from a simple flip of his finger. Then, Isaac opened the lid and saw the interior of the box.


    There was an envelope and a small metallic pipe. Isaac''s brows furrowed as he took out the pipe.


    ''''Why was this in safe?'''' He moved the pipe around and was amazed at how light it was, even though it looked heavy at first.


    Tap! Tap!


    Isaac felt his body bing cold as he heard footsteps echoing throughout the hallway. He ced the metal pipe back on the box, closed the lid, and stuffed it back into the safe.


    Then, he mmed the safe shut and covered it by putting the painting over it.


    Creak!


    The door opened, and a sleepy-looking Maxwell appeared while rubbing his eyes. He tapped the light switch and saw the room be bright.


    ''''Yawn.'''' He rubbed the back of his head and looked around the room. It was the same as he left it. Then, he went to the desk and began shuffling the papers around.


    Unknown to him, a white-haired youth hid underneath the desk with a sweat-drenched face.


    Then, Maxwell grabbed several papers and left the office while humming a song. Before stepping out of the office, he tapped the light switch and ensured that the light was killed off before leaving for good.

 Chapter 350 - Gang of Delinquents

    Chapter 350 - Gang of Delinquents


    "Whew." Isaac crawled out from his hiding spot and stretched his legs as he straightened his back. The darkness of the room enveloped him, making him near-invisible.


    The light underneath the door heightened only the front of the door in a warm honey-like color. However, the rest of the office room was dark and ghostly.


    Isaac saw his shadow dancing around the flicker of light.


    He tip-toed toward the painting, took it off the wall, typed his birth date on the Numpad, and opened the safe.


    Then, he opened the wooden box and grabbed the envelope before taking it out. He returned to the desk, turned on the desk light, and opened the envelope.


    "Hmm, banknotes?" After opening, Isaac frowned after seeing stacks of banknotes. The room was dark, making the visibility poor, but he remembered the banknotes'' texture and size.


    However, after taking one of the banknotes to light, he saw that it didn''t resemble his world''s banknotes. They were rather odd. The edges were light green, and the pictures were about a man and woman holding a snowke in their palms.


    "What are these?" Isaac pondered before putting the banknotes back into the envelope. Then, he took out the metal pipe and examined it thoroughly.


    However, when he trailed his finger on the somewhat smooth side, a slight pointy edge popped out from the smooth texture and made a tiny cut on Isaac''s finger.


    "Ah!" He yanked his hand back and saw a tiny cut on his finger. The small blood drops managed tond on the metal pipe, and something began happening with it.


    Pop!


    At first, the metal pipe seemed to open from inside, then it grew longer until it collided with theputer monitor and almost forcing it to fall. However, Isaac managed to catch theputer before it fell down.


    The metal pipe''s new length was 150cm. Then, it began thoroughly transforming. The blunt end of the pipe grew thin and dangerous. It resembled a lot of a barrel, and soon, the rest of the pipe resembled a gun!


    Isaac''s eyes slowly widened in astonishment as a 150cm long gun with silver color appeared in front of him. He took it into his hands and felt how light it indeed was.


    He put his finger on the trigger and felt very tempted to press it; however, it wasn''t the right time for such dangerous things.


    Then, Isaac''s eyes widened in amazement. On the side of the gun, the initials I.V.W was carved with some sharp object.


    "Wait¡­ Is that my initials?" He massaged his temples and remembered the boulder in the forest. The initials seemed to be identical. There was even a small mistake he made when carving the W. One of the strokes was a little bit too long.


    That was exactly identical to the carving on the gun. Isaac began wondering whether they had some kind of connection.


    He pulled out his touchscreen phone and snapped several pictures.


    Then, Isaac ced it back on the desk and saw how it returned to its previous state of a small pipe. He rubbed his chin, wondering what the hell he had just witnessed. Nothing about it made any sense.


    Then, he put it back on the wooden box and ced it back in the safe. He wanted to take it with him, but his father would find out fairly soon who took it.


    Once the painting covered the safe, he left the office and shortly afterward was back in his spacious room.


    He copsed on his bed and continued thinking about what he witnessed, "Something happened in that forest¡­ What the hell is that gun, and how can it transform?"


    "Why did it transform because my blood touched it?"


    "Why were my initials carved in it?"


    "And, why does my father have it?"


    "What we''re the banknotes, or are they even banknotes?"


    Isaac rolled over and pulled out his phone. Then, he searched for the images he had taken and began looking over them. One of the pictures showed the initials, and it was precisely simr with the boulder''s.


    "I wonder what would have happened if I''d pulled the trigger¡­" For some reason, he felt chills from thinking about it. Isaac wasn''t sure but had a hunch that it would have broken his sense of reality.


    He pocketed the phone and rolled around to look at the ceiling.


    "Well¡­ My father has some exining to do."


    ¡­


    The following day.


    Isaac and Marvin walked in the snow-covered streets, trekking toward the mall where the group of troublemakers was.


    After entering the mall through the busy entrance, they saw a sea of people chatting. A flight of stairs led to the second floor, where even more stores and restaurants were located.


    Marvin pulled out his phone and asked his friends where they were, and once he received his reply, he pocketed the phone and led the way.


    Soon, they reached the second floor and found where the arcade was. In there, four delinquent-looking individuals were smashing the buttons of the gaming machine.


    Nearby, teenagers that saw the scene looked frightened. They stepped back, not daring to look them in the eye because many have seen stories about delinquents and how they were bad guys of the world.


    Even the arcade owner wanted to make the delinquents leave because they hindered his business but didn''t have the guts to do.


    Then, Marvin and Isaac entered the arcade.


    "F*ck!" Ins shouted and smashed the button with even greater strength. The screen showed two animated figures fighting each other, and the same screen was seen in Lionel''s one.


    He kept grinning as he made fun of Ins and his fighting ability. Then, shortly afterward, the match ended in Lionel''s dominant victory.


    "Shit!" Ins pummeled the screen onest time before seeing Marvin standing alongside Isaac, "Oh, you arrived."


    The rest of the gang of troublemakers turned around and saw two somewhat different yet simr people.


    Marvin and Isaac greeted them, stepped away from the fighting games, and went to the section with racing games.

 Chapter 351 - Heart of Snowstar

    Chapter 351 - Heart of Snowstar


    ''''Aren''t you all supposed to be in school?'''' Isaac asked with a wry smile. If his mother knew that they were skipping school again, she would be mad in a fury.


    ''''Oh, you didn''t hear?'''' Lionel was somewhat surprised that Isaac wasn''t aware of such well-known news. He had a hunch that Isaac''s attention might be only about White Online and a certain ck-haired girl.


    ''''About what?'''' Isaac asked while watching Derek ying a racing game. His opponents were nearby teenagers, who were pale-faced after seeing the delinquents appearing.


    They debated whether they should intentionally lose.


    Lionel grinned and replied, ''''School is on pause, for now. The teachers and principal have to figure out what to do with White Online and its influence.''''


    ''''Ohh.'''' Isaac nodded with understanding.


    ''''Whoo!'''' Derek cheered after winning. Every yer ahead of him in thestp crashed for some reason.


    The nearby teenagers scurried away after the game had finished, leaving a trail of imaginary smoke behind.


    ''''Let''s go. This is boring.'''' Niko said while lighting a cigarette. His friends nodded, and they left the arcade.


    They used to like ying in arcades, but after White Online, everything seemed dull and boring.


    Isaac followed after the gang of delinquents. It looked like he was forced to follow the delinquents to onlookers, and many elderly folks wanted to rescue him from their clutches.


    But, before they could do anything, Isaac and the gang of delinquents had descended to the first floor and were soon gone from the mall.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Niko let out a puff of smoke and twirled the cigarette between his fingers while asking, ''''Should we go there?''''


    Derek, typing on his phone, suddenly grinned and nodded, ''''Yeah, let''s do it.''''


    The rest of the delinquents also grinned and elerated their paces. Isaac curiously jogged after them and soon found out where they were going.


    They reached the Heart of Snowstar, and Isaac saw the school where he had both bad and good memories for the first time in a while.


    ''''Give me a boost.'''' There was a gate blocking their path, and they had to give a boost to each other to be able to climb over it.


    Derek knelt on the ground and put his palm on top of his knee. Then, Niko ced his foot on it and grabbed the top of the gate.


    He pulled himself up and soon found himself standing on the other side of the gate.


    Isaac looked around and saw citizens walking in the streets. They were also looking at them with scrutinizing gazes and with disapproval nods.


    At least no one had called the cops yet.


    Soon, everyone except Marvin and Isaac had crossed the gate.


    ?a?da ?o??l ''''Lil bro, your turn.'''' Marvin locked his two hands and leaned on the cold gate. Then, Isaac put his foot on the hands, and Marvin''s muscles bulged as he pushed Isaac up.


    Soon, Isaac climbed over the gate and wondered how Marvin coulde over. However, it didn''t take long for him to find out how.


    Marvin didn''t need anyone''s help, instead used the thin poles of the gate to climb. Soon, he was on top of the gate and leaped over the pointy and sharp edges.


    Thud!<i></i>


    Hended on the ground and patted the snow off his pants. Then, they began running toward the High School building.


    Isaac still had no idea why they were there. The building was locked, but they didn''t need keys. Lionel lockpicked the door. Then, they entered the building and rushed toward the third floor.


    Soon, they arrived in front of room 3-A. Isaac''s body trembled as he saw the ssroom. It would have been his ss if he was still in school.


    They entered the ssroom, and the gang of delinquents began trashing the room. Then, Marvin found a stack of papers that told everyone''s seating order.


    Soon, a grin found its way onto his face. He snapped his fingers that attracted everyone''s attention. Then, he pointed at the corner seat next to the window.


    ''''Heh.'''' Ins grinned and hopped toward the desk. Then, he took out a pocket knife and began carving on the desk.


    Screech!


    Everyone covered their ears as an ear-splitting sound appeared. Soon, Ins was done and motioned everyone toe to look.


    Isaac stopped next to the desk and widened his eyes in shock.


    [Oliver, we know what you did]


    ''''This¡­''''


    ''''It''s Oliver''s desk.'''' Marvin grinned and took the pocket knife from Ins. Then, he began carving.


    It continued until everyone in the gang of delinquents had carved something. Then, Lionel offered the knife to Isaac.


    ''''Your turn.''''


    Isaac took it with a trembling hand. He looked at the things that they wrote, and it was primarily insulting Oliver.


    Everyone stepped to the side and allowed Isaac to do his own thing.


    ''''Ahem¡­'''' Isaac cleared his throat and stopped in front of the desk. There was enough space to carve something in the middle of the desk.


    He wanted to write something impactful. Something that would make Oliver paranoid and scared with every fiber of his being.


    Then, the knife''s tip grazed the wooden desk''s outeryer. Isaac began slowly carving, and ten minutester, he was finished.


    Everyone gathered around the desk and grinned simultaneously.


    Isaac had written the names of everyone who was part of the group that attacked him. It wasn''t hard for him to figure out the names of everyone, especially after the clues he found inside White Online.


    The delinquents took a note of the names and patted Isaac''s shoulder. Then, they left the room and saw cop cars circling around the school''s premises.


    Isaac and the gang of delinquents went to the first floor, opened a back window, and jumped out. Then, they rushed toward the fence and jumped over it.


    The cop cars hadn''t closed the premisespletely, which allowed them to escape the cop''s surveince.


    Soon, they separated. Isaac and Marvin began running toward their home while the rest of the gang of delinquents went separate ways.


    Before leaving, however, the delinquents shouted at Isaac about the ck-haired girl and left with theirughter echoing throughout the air.


    After hearing them teasing Isaac, Marvin burst intoughter while Isaac sheepily scratched the back of his head.

 Chapter 352 - Rematch against God zephyros

    Chapter 352 - Rematch against God zephyros


    The days went by, and it was already Saturday night, with less than 24 hours before the next battle against God Zephyros'' Avatarmenced.


    Currently, Isaac was standing in the middle of the somewhat deserted terminal. After the passengers had departed from their nes, they grabbed their bags and left the airport.


    And the ones entering the nes had left some time ago, making the terminal eerily quiet. Then, a soft wind breezed past Isaac, and footsteps echoed throughout the airport.


    Tap¡­ Tap¡­


    His mouth curved into a soft smile as he saw a ck-haired girl walking down the stairs with a bag in her hand.


    After seeing the white-haired youth dressed in winter clothing, she smiled and unknowingly elerated her pace. Two middle-aged individuals saw the scene at the top of the stairs and sighed in unison.


    The terminal wasn''tpletely empty, and a few hormone-filled teenagers became lovestruck after seeing the adorable ck-haired girl walking with her beautiful ck hair swaying behind her.


    "Isaac!" Then, she dropped her back and buried her face in the white-haired youth''s chest, causing the teenagers to grit their teeth in envy.


    Isaac rubbed her soft ck hair and said, "Wee back."


    Luna smiled and raised her head enough to see Isaac''s gray eyes. Slowly, their faces got closer, and soon the lips were connected.


    Her father, Sin, pulled up his sleeves but was stopped by his wife before he could cause any chaos.


    After their lips were separated, they sat on nearby benches and continued their talk. At first, most of their talks circled around what she did in Brightstar, then it came back to White Online.


    "What are you nning to do?" Isaac asked her.


    "Mmm¡­" Luna tapped her chin and then smiled, "I have to catch up to do. So, I will focus on leveling up in White Online."


    Isaac nodded.


    "What level are you now?" In return, she asked a question. Luna wasn''t aware of how well he was doing.


    He wryly smiled and replied, "99."


    He reached level 99 today and tried to get the legendary level 100, which was apparently the first significant milestone. The yers who''d reached it said that difference between level 100 and level 99 yers was immense.


    "Wha¡ª" Luna''s eyes bulged out. She thought that she had misheard it at first, and afterward, she was utterly amazed.


    Isaac was getting more popr with each passing day. In the eyes of many, he was already a pro yer, but that was only around the Stronglord yer base. The world was a big ce, and South Continent was said to be the weakest one out of all the Continents.


    There was a reason for it. Every other Continent managed to defeat the Avatar on their first try, while South Continent lost.


    That caused many to mock them, and all South Continent yers wanted to prove them wrong.


    They talked for half an hour before having to separate. They shared another passionate kiss. Then, Isaac left the airport, called for a taxi, and returned to his home.


    ¡­


    "Let''s see¡­" Isaac rummaged through his items and soon found what he was looking for. It was a small pearl-like item.


    It was a Resurrection Pearl. He managed to find one, but it wasn''t easy. There were several other yers, and after the pearl appeared out of thin air, it was a pure bloodbath.


    ?a?da ?o??l yers died left and right. In the end, Isaac was the one who managed to escape with the Resurrection Pearl, but his HP was reduced to zero, and he had to use White Death.


    The rumors of him possessing the Resurrection Pearl came to light. It was caused by the jealous yers who died in the bloodbath, which forced Isaac to stay hidden for the time being.


    He was still being hunted, but Isaac was confident enough to survive for now.


    "Interface." Isaac sat down on his creaking bed and nced at his newfound stats.


    ¡­

    [Marksman of Space Lv2: Allows the yer to Teleport across the space - With greater mastery of the ability, the level increases and strengthens the distance one can teleport]


    ¡­


    Isaac also increased his mastery in Marksman of Space and reached Lv3 in Good Precision after having 300 Stats on Precision.


    Then, he stored the Resurrection Pearl in his inventory and closed the interface.


    He rolled over the bed and lit up the gasmp. Soon, the room was dyed in warm honey-like colors. Isaac stood up and moved the draped curtains out of the way.


    The sky was dim, and the sun had disappeared. It was still over half a day before the battlemenced.


    The uing battle ended up being more difficult than they expected. King Jonathan and Queen Diana couldn''t participate. They understood that they would have to halt their leveling speed if they wanted to.


    The level limit for Forest of Unknown was 100.


    That made Isaac''s and Darth''s roles very important. They would be the two highest-leveled yers in the battle, and they have to be the leaders of the uing fight.


    Ding! Ding!


    Isaac received messages, and most of them came from Darth, while a few were from Luna, who entered the game first time in a few weeks.


    He quickly replied to Luna and began talking with Darth. They came to a mutual agreement that they would go to the battle site early.


    Isaac closed the curtains, went to the desk, killed the light, and left the house.


    After walking for close to ten minutes, his speed had significantly increased, allowing him to cross distances fairly quickly.


    That was as expected, and everyone had begun to understand that they didn''t really need Carriages anymore. The number of yers using Carriage''s had been diminished, but not enough.


    It was only a matter of time before no one used them.


    Soon, Isaac reached the realm portals. He paid the amount and received the purple ticket. Then, he stepped inside the portal and soon saw the dark forest circling around him.

 Chapter 353 - Match Against Knights

    Chapter 353 - Match Against Knights.


    "¡­" Isaac walked up a small hill filled with greenish grass. At the top of the hill, a ck-haired young man was sitting while looking at the scene below him.


    Below the hill, the open space was filled with close to 100 yers. The enormous statue of God Zephyros stood proudly, shadowing the camping yers.


    Then, the ck-haired youth moved his head halfway enough to glimpse the white-haired young man that soon arrived next to him.


    Isaac sat down next to him and sighed, "100¡­ Not enough."


    Darth wryly smiled, "Yeah¡­"


    "If we lose¡­ South Continent''s yers will always be behind other Continents." Darth mentioned.


    Isaac''s face grew solemn. He was well aware that the other Realms have better ways of growing stronger.


    "What is the n?" He asked.


    Darth pondered for a moment and then shrugged, "Most of the yers will do their own thing, so nning isn''t possible."


    Isaac nodded and said, "I will attract the avatar''s attention, and you guys will sneak attack him. I guess this is the best way of doing this."


    Darth nodded and agreed with it.


    After several hours, the sun began appearing in the grayish sky.


    More yers popped up from the depths of the forest. They began discussing with yers already there.


    "Are they here?"


    "Yes, there¡­" One of the yers pointed toward a small hill, where ck-haired and white-haired youth was looking at them.


    Arge portion of the yers gulped and averted their gazes. They felt somewhat relieved that those two monsters were on their side, but they had heard scary rumors about the avatar.


    The avatar single-handedly destroyed every attack they threw at him and lower his HP, the stronger he became.


    After the amount of yers reached 200, Isaac and Darth arrived in front of the statues. Every eye was locked on their figures.


    "Let''s do the tests!" Darth roared, "Everyone who hasn''t done any of them, go back in the line and copy what the person in front of you does!"


    The yers began shuffling around. Soon, an orderly line was formed. The yers in front were pale-faced and had a lot of pressure on them.


    If they identally fail, it''d be a domino effect, and everyone might fail.


    "Livestream Online!" A holographic screen emerged out of thin air. Isaac quickly decided to stream from StreamKing. Only secondster, his stream was online, and the view count began rapidly increasing.


    "You are going to stream?" Darth asked with a shock after seeing the floating camera.


    Isaac nodded and moved the camera to capture the hundreds of yers gathered.


    It didn''t take long for the view count to go above 100. The chat became increasingly busy, and Isaac didn''t even have time to see the messages.


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Stronglord.


    Luna walked while dressed in her witch attire. She was going toward the Realm Portals but then heard an interesting discussion with the nearby yers.


    "Apparently, Wraith is going to stream the battle!" Several excited-looking yers said aloud.


    "What!" His friends shouted back and quickly opened an interface ovey and logged out. Soon, the rest of the yers who heard it also logged out.


    "Isaac is streaming?" Luna was surprised. She opened her interface and debated whether she should go watch too. But then, she shook her head and closed it.


    "I need to level up¡­" She raised her fist to the sky and swore to Hecate that she would catch up with others.


    ¡­


    In real life.


    Bam!


    A door was opened with a bang. Divinity, a ck-haired youth with the phone in his grasp, looked shocked. On his phone screen, a stream was visible.


    Bam.


    He kicked the door shut and pocketed the phone. Then, he sat down on hisfy office chair and booted up hisputer.


    Soon, the monitor showed the Livestream. His mouth curved upward, and his fist clenched.


    ¡­


    "Let''s enter," Darth said and stepped inside the dimly lit hallway, closely followed by Isaac. The long line of the yers began following after them. They all moved at a calm pace.


    After reaching the first test, Darth stepped on the brown tiles and soon reached the end.


    Isaac did the same, and once reaching the end, he turned around and saw the first line of yers moving with extreme caution.


    They didn''t even dare to jump and moved at a snail''s pace. It didn''t matter because there were still a few hours till the start of the battle.


    After the first several people sessfullypleted it, Darth and Isaac continued walking forth. Soon, they reached the second test.


    The stone-covered Knights were standing in the way, their stony fingers wrapped around the hilts of swords.


    "Stay back," Darth said toward the yers that followed after them. They nodded and retreated several dozen meters.


    Isaac cracked his knuckles and took a step forth.


    Darth crouched slightly, ready to pounce forth.


    They locked eyes and gave a swift nod. Then, they stepped into the tiles, and the Knights began moving around erratically.


    "Haaaah!" Isaac leaped across the air and mmed the side of his fist into the Knight''s face.


    Crack!


    The Knight''s face exploded and fell to the ground with the dim light in his eyes disappearing.


    Smack!<i></i>


    Pow!


    Darth glided across the air and sent a flurry of kicks toward nearby Knights, and each bang shattered the rocks apart.


    Several more Knights fell to the ground with several body parts missing.


    The yers that retreated looked utterly amazed. Some of them were part of the previous battle and knew how dangerous the knights were. Back then, no one could have done anything else other than run!


    Now¡­ In front of their eyes, the Knights were being hunted down!


    Isaac appeared behind the Knights, smashed his fist into their open backs, and destroyed their bodies thoroughly!


    The Knights swung their stone sword, trying to fight against them. But, they were no match for Darth''s and Isaac''s speed.


    More and more Knights fell to the ground until nothing was left.


    Darth and Isaac stepped out of the second room and looked behind them to see the destroyed pile of Knights. They shrugged and continued walking, slowly followed by the crowd of amazed yers.

 Chapter 354 lsaac Vs. The God zephyros’ Avatar

    Chapter 354 lsaac Vs. The God zephyros'' Avatar.


    After a short while, Isaac and Darth reached therge granite door. There was a timer ticking down with ashen gray colors.


    [09:57¡­]


    "Less than ten minutes¡­" Darth mumbled and began checking out the number of his arrows and potions.


    Isaac stopped in front of the granite door and could feel a soft breeze of winding from underneath the door. A feeling sprouting in his heart was that the uing battle would be filled with hardships.


    However, that didn''t discourage him. Instead, more energetic to defeat the Avatar.


    Then, more footsteps rang from the dimly lit hallway, and yers began appearing. It didn''t take long for the room to be filled with loud discussions.


    The yers who arrived looked rather pale-faced. The ones in thest battle remembered what was currently hidden on the other side of the door.


    They took a step back and collided with nearby yers, who began shouting at them about what were they doing.


    After being done counting his arrows and potions, Darth saw themotion and shook his head. Even if they have close to two hundred yers, he still couldn''t believe they had a big chance in victory.


    ''Are we destined to fail?''


    After a short wait, the timer reached zero.


    Creak!


    The granite door began slowly opening. Every yer stiffened and focused their concentration on the hall.


    Darth grabbed his bow and stepped inside the hall, followed by Isaac, whose face had gone solemn.


    After the yers entered the hall, they saw the enormous throne and therge Avatar sitting on it. The Avatar''s stone gray eyes opened, and he scanned everyone in the room.


    Once his eyesnded on the yer, their bodies went cold and stiff. However, when his gazended on Isaac, it had the reverse effect.


    The Avatar''s body went cold, and he even flinched. The memories of the white-haired youth surfaced in his mind, and his cold stony fingers wrapped around the hilt of his sword like he thought that the young man might attack him out of nowhere.


    However, then, something snapped in his mind, and his previous fear disappeared. He slowly stood up, sending a wave of cold air toward the wave of yers.


    Then, he opened his mouth and revealed his grayish teeth, "I am the gatekeeper of Spring Realm. Only by defeating me, you are allowed to enter!"


    "Spread!" Darth began barking orders. He controlled therge yer army and ced all Spellcasters in one area and all close-quarter fighters around them for protection.


    Then, all long-ranged fighters were ced in front of the army. Isaac was in the front with his gun resting on his shoulder.


    The streaming camera floated away from the ground and stopped once reaching the ceiling, where it could capture everything happening in the hall.


    The chat became busy.


    [*****: This is the Avatar?! He seems insanely strong!]


    [*****: Go Wraith!]


    [*****: Hmph, our North Continent already defeated the Avatar. It''s not that strong]


    After the row of chat messages, Isaac shifted his gaze toward the throne that began having some unnatural change.


    Slowly, the throne changed shapes, bing a stone door frame.


    It was insanelyrge, almost as big as the Avatar.


    "Only by defeating me¡­" The Avatar pointed at the stone door frame as he continued, "The portal to the Spring Realm shall open."


    "Three of my avatars had been defeated, and I am only one left¡­" The Avatar paused before showing a scary grin, "That also makes me stronger!"


    The yers paled after hearing the nightmarish news. Soon, the avatar health bar and level bar appeared.


    [Avatar of God Zephyros]


    [Level 110]


    [HP: 20000/20000]


    After the yers saw it, they began screaming.


    "110 level?! We can''t defeat it!"


    "Oh no¡­ We are forever stuck in the first realm! How embarrassing!"


    "Is it toote for me to move to Summend?"


    "Enough!" Then, Darth''s anger-filled scream entered their ears. He stomped the ground and attracted everyone''s attention.


    "We can defeat it!" Darth''s shout was heard by everyone, but it didn''t give him a satisfying reaction. The yers looked at each other and saw the fear in their eyes.


    "Word''s won''t change them." Then, Isaac spoke.


    Darth frowned and looked at him. Then, he saw Isaac taking the first step forth until he was running at full speed toward the Avatar!


    The yers stopped screaming and turned to look at the running Isaac.


    "yer Wraith¡­ I remember you." The Avatar''s dim gray eyes shone as he unsheathed his sword. Then, Isaac''s strength went into his legs as he jumped toward the ceiling.


    Bang!


    His finger was ced on the trigger out of nowhere, and he had pulled it till the bullet left the barrel.


    The Avatar''s eyes shook, and he put his arm in the way, but once the bulletnded on his armored forearm, his body staggered backward, and he had to move his foot behind to stabilize his falling body.


    His eyes showed evident shock, and he was again hit by Isaac''s bullet thatnded on his jaw.


    The yers were utterly shocked to see the Avatar being pushed back!


    Then, the Avatar''s eyes shone again as he screamed, "You are dangerous, which means you shall be destroyed!"


    Whoosh!


    The sword was raised over his head, and the de began falling toward Isaac like a terrifying earth-cutting saber!


    The wind gushed around the descending de, making Isaac''s hair blow around his gorgeous face. Then, his body began glowing in star-shaped particles, and he disappeared!


    The next time he appeared, he was already at the top of the Avatar''s head!


    [Marksman of Space Used!]


    Bang!


    The Avatar moved even faster, positioned his shield as protection, and destroyed the iing bullet. Then he swung his sword, which was dodged by Isaac''s well-timed duck.


    While they were fighting, Darth began shouting orders, "While Wraith keeps the Avatar busy, you guys use your attacks to injure the Avatar!"


    The Spellcasters and long-ranged yers nodded and began making their own attacks. Soon, shes of light appeared in the hall as dozens of spells, arrows, and bullets flew across the air.


    While the attacks had yet to arrive, Isaac jumped over another deadly-looking de. But then, the Avatar raised his right foot and stomped down, trying to squish him like a bug.


    However, that was easily dodged by Isaac, who spun afterward and sent a flurry of nice shots at the Avatar''s leg.


    Soon, a dense iceyer formed around the Avatar''s abdomen, forcing him to kneel down!


    "Grrr!" The Avatar raised his sword, aiming to break the ice. However, then the spells, arrows, and bullets struck him in the face.


    BAM!


    BOOM!


    THWACK!

 Chapter 355 - Humanity Vs. The God’s Avatar

    Chapter 355 - Humanity Vs. The God''s Avatar.


    [HP: 19250/20000]


    The amount of HP the Avatar lost made the yers depressed, but they didn''t stop.


    But then, the Avatar managed to block the rest of the attacks with his shield and sent a ray of sword beam toward them.


    The yers paled. But then, the Spellcasters stepped forth, and everyone with brown color on their robes began chanting the same spell.


    "EARTH WALL!"


    Instantly, a brown-colored earth wall arose from the cracked ground and blocked the sword beam!


    That sight made the yers cheer with thrilling looks.


    The Avatar looked displeased and prepared to send another sword ray. Then, Isaac appeared in the air and fired another bullet. However, this time, the bullet was illusionary.


    [Wraith''s Shot Used!]


    The Avatar felt a chill running through his back as he saw the illusionary bullet. Memories of the previous battle surfaced in his mind, and he knew how difficult it was to defend against.


    Therefore, he decided to dodge. He sidestepped and thought that it was enough. However, the bullet managed tond on his shoulder and phased through.


    The Avatar still sighed in relief because he couldn''t feel anything solid hitting him. Then, he heard a bone-chilling voice that caused his body to turn cold.


    "Real!"


    Spurt!


    The bullet inside the shoulder solidified and destroyed the shoulder de before drilling through the flesh and exiting it.


    "Ah!" The Avatar screamed out and wobbled forth.


    [HP: 17200/20000]


    His stone gray eyes began having a hue of red. However, before he could do anything, he was struck by dozen spells.


    [HP: 15600/20000]


    "Keep going!" Darth shouted, and for the first time since the battle began, the yers felt a hope rising from the depths of their hearts.


    However, that hope was soon subdued. The Avatar pointed his finger toward the dusty ceiling and screamed aloud, "Spring Fall!"


    Isaac, who was running after the Avatar, paled after hearing the shout. Then, arge bouldernded before him, sending him flying a dozen meters.


    BOOM!


    BAM!


    CRASH!


    CRACK!


    THWACK!


    WHACK!


    "AAAAHHH!" The yers screamed in agony, and with each boulder fall, dozens of yers died. Floating particles appeared out of thin air and seeped into the walls and floors.


    "Spellcasters, make a fall!" Darth, desperately trying to keep the yers from dying, shouted till his voice became hoarse.


    The Spellcasters with brown-colored robes listened to him and made another earth wall. But that was much weaker than before. Over half of Earth Spellcasters had died.


    Bam! ????????????.???


    Bam!


    The earth wall managed to block several boulders before it became too much, and their protection crashed down.


    Dozen more yers died, and the remainder of the yers had found some kind of cover. Then, Darth thought that they would lose if this kept going on. They have to be in the attacking end, not the other way!


    That''s why he made a risky bet and shouted, "All Fighters, onwards!"


    The yers with Fighter sses paled. They thought that Darth had gone mad, but after seeing a few yers with simr sses running out of their cover and going straight toward the Avatar, they had to follow after.


    Close to a hundred yers left their covers and rushed toward the Avatar with pale-looking faces like they were running toward death, and there was nothing they could do.


    The Avatar spun the sword in his palm and sent a horizontal sh toward the iing yers. But then, a single bullet appeared andnded on his palm''s back, which made his sword strike miss the hundreds of pale-looking yers.


    "RAAAAAH!" The yers reached the Avatar and began hacking down. Soon, their attacks began destroying the armory, and they soon saw the skin below. They forfeited their lives and desperately began slicing through the flesh in hopes of reducing the Avatar''s HP even by little!


    The Avatar tried to smash his shield down to the yers but then was hit by dozen spells. Even though Darth almost sent them to their deaths, it didn''t mean he would allow them to die that easily.


    He ced several arrows on his bowstring and began firing. Everyone followed his example, and soon, the Avatar was getting pushed back with HP rapidly decreasing!


    ¡­


    Half an hourter.


    "Haahh¡­ Hah¡­" A yer that was part of the Earth Spellcasters fell to the ground on his knees. He was draped in tattered brown robes, and his face was dirtied with unknown substances.


    The surrounding area around him was destroyed with fallen debris, cracked ground, destroyed robes, and blue blood.


    In the distance, he could see the earth-shaking battle between the Avatar and the remaining yers, less than fifty left.


    "I-I can''t¡­ How¡­ Can¡­ They¡­ Keep¡­ Going?" Every word uttered by him was a difficult task. His heart pounded rapidly, and he knew he''d gone past his limits to keep uttering the spells.


    His eyes watered as he saw the Avatar''s HP go below 1000, but the end seemed so far away.


    Even since the start of the fight, he was scared with every fiber of his body. For some reason, he was still alive, even though his friends died within the first minute of the fight.


    Only the true elite was still alive. With every swing of the sword, a yer died. The Avatar''s strength couldn''t be described with mere words. He couldn''t understand how they could fight this well!


    However, he had a hunch about how. The main reason was the white-haired man and the ck-haired man that kept the Avatar busy, which made him unable to concentrate on killing the other yers.


    He couldn''t understand how they could keep fighting even after each attack could be their death. The mental pressure was immense because they must know that it was impossible to win if they died.


    "Ugh¡­" He slowly moved to stand. Then, he saw his cracked wooden cane, which was only a few spells away from being destroyed. However, it could still be salvaged if taken to the repairman.


    If it was destroyed entirely, no one could repair it. It was his most prized possession and was the only reason he could be called an Elite yer.


    He bit his lip until blood began dripping down, "I¡­"


    The tips of his fingers slowly grazed the wooden cane, and soon it was on his palm. He closed his eyes and felt the rush of emotions running through his veins.


    Once he opened his eyes, his beautiful brown eyes glowed. Then, the globe shone, and another crack appeared in the wooden cane.


    He pointed the cane toward the distant figure of the Avatar and said aloud his powerful words, "Earth Crash!"

 Chapter 356 - The Last Struggle (1)

    Chapter 356 - The Last Struggle (1)


    "Die!" The Avatar screamed with blood-red eyes as he swung the sword down.


    The yers raised their heads and saw the falling sword. Their legs began moving as they tried to dodge the deadly strike. However, several yers died in the aftermath and were transformed into a pile of floating pixels.


    Isaac softlynded on the ground and saw colors beeping in front of him. His pupils dted, and he entered his famous hyperfocused state.


    [White Death Activated!]


    Next to him, Darthnded with a ss bottle in his hand. Then, he opened his mouth wide and gulped the potion down. His HP rapidly rose from the brink of death to a healthy state.


    The Avatar''s gaze brushed past the pale-faced yers andnded on Isaac, who emitted a familiar aura.


    ''That''s¡­.'' The Avatar took a step back. Then, something snapped in his mind again, and his blood-red eyes shone radiantly.


    Then, he took arge strode forward with the sword''s de brushing past his waist and rushing toward the white-haired young man.


    However, his attack halted at that moment as he felt something shaking beneath him. Once he dropped his gaze, he saw the cracked ground slowly copsing!


    "EARTH CRACK!" A brown-robed Spellcaster spoke aloud his spell from the far away, and the cane on his hands broke apart. Slowly, his face changed shades, and tears began pouring down.


    "Dieee!" He let out a frustration-filled shout and hoped that the Avatar would hear him and his hate.


    CRASH!


    The Avatar''s eyes widened in shock, and the ground copsed on him. A dense cloud of dust appeared from the sunken pit.


    "Attack!" Darth grabbed several arrows and began unleashing his strongest attacks. Alongside him, everyone released their strongest skills, and soon the sunken pit was filled with painful screams.


    ...


    In real life.


    "T-They are winning!" Divinity screamed out of surprise. His steamy-hot coffee had cooled down, and his hand was hovering above the cup. But, since the start of the match, he couldn''t take his gaze away from the screen.


    In the Livestream, he could see the chat going nuts as the victory was getting near!


    ¡­


    Swoosh!


    The Avatar emerged from the dark pit with destroyed armor and rage-filled eyes. Above him, his HP bar was clearly on disy.


    [HP: 100/20000]


    The yers felt hope arising from the depths of their souls. They wrapped their hands around their weapons and prepared for the final struggle.


    Swoosh!


    As the attacks flew across the air, the death of the Avatar seemed inevitable. However, the Avatar whipped his head around alongside his steel shield at that moment.


    The shield destroyed every spell, arrow, and bullet. Then, when the swords, daggers, and rapiers were about to touch the tip of his clothes, he used his sword to kill every yer that got near him.


    After the first round of attacks failed miserably, the yers felt their hearts sinking, but they didn''t give up and continued attacking.


    However, the Avatar masterfully spun the sword around him and blocked each attack. After the attacks were smashed into ashes, he leaped forward and sent a rageful strike at the ground.


    BOOM!


    The yers crossed their arms but couldn''t withstand the heavy aftermath and got blown away.


    Then, Isaac''s white hair fluttered as he closed his left eye and pulled the trigger until the explosive recoil appeared.


    BANG!


    The Avatar''s mind went overdrive, and he spun around to face the bullet. He couldn''t bother concentrating on the yers who lost their willpower to fight. Instead, focused on the yer that actually made him have a sense of danger.


    He ced the shield in front of him and rooted his feet on the ground. Even while the bullet seemed to hit him, he didn''t lose concentration.


    "Fake!" Isaac bellowed.


    [Wraith''s Shot Used!]


    The solid bullet turned transparent and illusionary. Then, it phased through the steel shield and flew straight toward the Avatar''s face.


    "Hmph." The Avatar tilted his head to the right, and the bullet solidified as it grazed past his cheek. However, that small scratch caused his HP to reduce from 100 to 90.


    His eyes shone radiantly, and he changed the grip on his sword''s handle before throwing it!


    Isaac''s feet halted as he saw the flying swording straight toward him!


    He bent his knees and jumped over the flying sword. However, the de didn''t stop and cut right through dozen yers who died without knowing what hit them.


    Bam!


    The sword drilled through the invisible wall that stopped anyone from escaping the hall.


    Darth began releasing his arrows from some distance away, but they were destroyed by the steel shield. Then, the steel shield fell right on top of him and squished him like a bug.


    However, after the shield was raised, Darth was still alive with a mere 10 HP. His body was draped in tattered green robes, and his potions had run out.


    After his eyes fluttered open, he could see the Avatar''s blood-red eyes gazing down on him, the shield ready to be smashed down.


    "Haahhh¡­" Darth stopped struggling and closed his eyes.


    "Die!" The Avatar smashed the shield down, and when it was nearly about to touch the ground, he saw something shing from the corner of his eye.


    [Marksman of Space Used!]


    Isaac''s body appeared out of floating star-shaped particles with a gun extended and a finger on the trigger.


    Bang!


    The Avatar roared out and smashed his shield to the side. The bullet was sent flying away, and the Avatar''s face was only an inch away from devouring Isaac.


    Isaac paled and saw his current position. He was descending toward the ground, but it was far drop ahead.


    Then, the Avatar extended his hand forward, and the sword stuck in the invisible wall began trembling. Then, the de was removed from the wall, and the sword flew right back into his grasp.


    Isaac raised his head, and desperation filled his face. The Avatar raised his sword and swung it down. Then, Isaac desperately put the gun in the way.


    However, the sword struck the gun and smashed Isaac toward the ground!


    CRACK!


    The ground cracked, causingrge crevices everywhere.

 Chapter 357 - The Last Struggle (2)

    Chapter 357 - The Last Struggle (2)


    "Ugh!" In the cracked ground, Isaac''s legs were shaking as he held the gun above his head. An enormous steel sword was striking him down, but he could still keep standing!


    His invisible muscles bulged, blood vessels protruded, and veins popped up around his sweat-drenched forehead.


    The Avatar gritted his teeth and increased his strength. An ooze of hot air left his nostrils, and his already-destroyed armor cracked as his muscles bulged.


    Isaac''s knees began slowly bending down, and he felt every part of his body screaming to stop this. He should have never been able to continue blocking the sword strike. Even he doesn''t understand how his body hasn''t broken yet.


    "Grah, fall!" The Avatar felt anger emit from the depth of his soul, and a crazed look was about to rece his anger-filled face. Even after increasing its strength, the sword moved only an inch down.


    "Grrr¡­" Isaac''s eyes showed a powerful glint as his curved knees slowly straightened up!


    The Avatar''s eyes shook as he saw the sword moving up. He was slowly losing the battle of the strength that shouldn''t be possible!


    ''What¡­ What¡­ What is happening?'' A voice rang in Isaac''s mind. Something supernatural and unnatural was happening inside his body. It was like all excess strength hidden in his body was slowly getting released.


    Inside his heart and brain. The loosened chains caused a tiny portion of his strength to be released, a somewhat permanent effect.


    When his body felt more stress, more bright light would be released even while the chains were quite tightly shut.


    "Haaahh!" Isaac''s let out a powerful shout and pushed the sword away from him slowly. Soon, his arms were extended forth, and his back standing straight.


    Then, the Avatar had enough. He moved the sword away and kicked Isaac away with the tip of his steel shoe.


    Isaac flew across the dusty air of the hall and crashed through a solid pir. The pir crashed down, and his body became hidden underneath the pile of debris.


    "I am the winner!" The Avatar bellowed out and looked around him. The yers were slumped on the ground with defeated looks painted on their faces.


    The camera was still floating close to the ceiling.


    [*****: yers from South Continent are indeed inferior, can''t even defeat one Avatar]


    [*****: I am d that I am from West Continent, we are the strongest!]


    [Divinity: Did you guys not hear what the Avatar said at the start of the match? He is currently much stronger than the previous versions of Avatar]


    [*****: So what?]


    [Divinity: So what? Even your so-called Pro yers barely survived, and don''t forget about those suicide attacks that hundreds of your Continent''s yers were forced to do to defeat the Avatar]


    [*****: ¡­]


    ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? ????????????.???.


    Then, while the chat was fighting between each other. Someone stood up among the fallen yers. He was a dark-haired young man with a handsome face painted in blue blood. His tattered green robes made him look beaten up, but there was a certain glint shimmering from his eyes.


    "You¡­ Aren''t¡­ Winner!" Darth said aloud with an exhausted look. He wobbled around, barely able to keep standing.


    The Avatar turned around and looked at the defeated-looking man. He didn''t change his expression. Instead, he raised his sword and shed it down!


    Darth looked without fear at the falling sword and knew that he couldn''t defend against the death this time.


    However, when the sword was about to slice through Darth, the de''s tip cracked, and it became a domino effect.


    The whole de was covered in cracks like spiderwebs until it broke apart!


    The Avatar''s eyes shook as he saw the shards of the broken de flying across the air. He was shocked. There was no logical exnation for his treasured sword to be broken in his mind.


    Except for one thing¡­


    "Was it because¡­" The Avatar''s fearful eyes went toward the pile of debris, ''Was it because I hit that gun with my sword¡­ How can it be so durable?! Who is that young man! Who the hell is he?!''


    Darth gritted his teeth and pulled out an arrow from his quiver. Then, he staggered forward and stuck the pointy end of the arrow at the Avatar''s foot!


    "Argh!" The Avatar screamed out. He was about to get rid of Darth, but his vision became hazy.


    He rubbed his eyes, but everything was unclear and hazy.


    "Heh¡­ It was a poison arrow¡­" Darth let out a strained chuckle.


    The Avatar looked enraged. He raised his foot and stomped it down. Even though he couldn''t see properly, he knew where he was!


    However, then, a white hair fluttered, and Darth was pushed to the side.


    Darth''s eyes swam, and he was shocked to get pushed to the side. When he turned around to look at the culprit, it was Isaac who pushed him to safety.


    Then, Isaac raised his bruised arms again with his gun ced in his hands. When the Avatar felt the weapon''s aura, he halted his attack with fear filling his face.


    "Ugh¡­" Darth gritted his teeth, went toward the Avatar''s leg, and stabbed it with another arrow, this time, it was an ordinary arrow.


    The Avatar screamed out of rage and tried to move away. But, he soon felt his limbs bing jelly and unresponsive.


    His HP was rapidly decreasing, and he could see his vision bing dark. The death was inching closer, and he felt only one thing, cold.


    Darth tried to pull out another arrow but couldn''t keep on standing and fell to the ground. His heavy eyelids forced his eyes shut, but he didn''t want to miss the scene.


    "Whew¡­" Isaac rested his cheek on the gun''s stock and felt different emotions running through his veins. In the distance was the Avatar, kneeling on the ground with a defeated look.


    The Avatar slowly rose his head and saw the end of the barrel looking at him.


    After Isaac ced his finger on the trigger, the Avatar said, "See you on the God Realm¡­ God Zephyros is waiting¡­"


    BANG!

 Chapter 358 - Prepare for War!

    Chapter 358 - Prepare for War!


    Ding! Ding!


    A notification rang throughout the vast South Continent.


    [WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: The yers from South Continent had sessfully defeated the Avatar of God Zephyros!]


    Every yer who raised their head to look at the message was amazed, with a shimmer of excitement oozing from their eyes. However, there were also a few that were disappointed.


    Currently, somewhere in South Continent.


    In a vast City that was evenrger than Stronglord. An army of yers that totaled close to a thousand yers was gathered in the City''s center where Realm Portals were.


    At the front of those yers, a man coated in heavy silver-colored armor with a robust-looking body and sharp eyes was ring at the notification in the air.


    "Hmph¡­ If the pathway to Spring Realm wasn''t in Stronglord, instead here, we would have defeated the avatar within the first try¡­"


    He turned around to look at the yers that looked at him with the utmost respect, "Isn''t that right?!"


    "YEAH!" The ground shook under the mighty shout of the army.


    The yer tag floated above the yer, giving peace of serenity to everyone who saw it.


    [King Michael]


    King Michael whipped his head around and paid the Guard the amount of money that would terrify many. He paid for over a thousand yers, and the total amount of money he wasted was too scary to think.


    The Guard had a crack in his expression for the first time in a while. He epted the money with a bow and opened the portal.


    Once the portal was open, King Michael unsheathed his sword and pointed it toward the sky, "Men, and women. A new world is waiting for us!"


    "YEAH!"


    King Michael stepped inside the portal and disappeared. Then, thousands of yers rushed inside the portal, and soon, the mighty army had disappeared.


    ¡­


    In the Stronglord.


    Around the Realm Portals.


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana had gathered with their Guild Members. The City Center was surrounded by thousands of other yers, and each one saw the notification echoing throughout the vast City.


    "Heh." King Jonathan looked at his Guild Members and nodded. Then, he paid for the Guard and stepped inside the portal, soon followed by Queen Diana.


    Soon, the Stronglord was emptied by the yers. Each one of them appeared in the Forest of Unknown and began marching toward the pathway.


    ¡­


    Inside the broken hall.


    Isaac slumped down to the ground and let out a tired sigh.


    Then, notifications rang.

    ¡­


    "Haahh¡­" Near Isaac, the exhausted-looking yers clumsily stood up. Their unfocused eyes were locked on the stone door frame that began to emit a light glow. Soon, orange-colored particles seeped through the rock and created a spiral-like portal in the middle of the door.


    The yers finally realized what they had achieved. Their legs took them closer to the portal, and they felt a wave of relief washing over them as they got closer to the portal.


    Isaac touched the cracked ground and slowly stood up. Then, he staggered toward Darth and helped him to stand.


    Afterward, they slowly walked toward the portal. Darth could barely keep standing. Even though he wasn''t in pain, the amount of mental exhaustion wasn''t small.


    He and Isaac had to defy death multiple times, and just one slip of concentration would have caused their demise.


    On the other hand, Isaac saw that his White Death had deactivated. There was also the moment when his strength somehow rippled through and made him much stronger than he should have been.


    Isaac, when fidgeting his fingers, couldn''t feel them. That caused his whole body to enter a state of weakness. He understood that this could not be normal.


    Soon, Darth and Isaac reached the stone door frame. yers ahead of them were waiting for them out of respect. They nodded at them and stepped aside.


    "See you on the other side." Darth patted their shoulders and stepped inside the portal.


    "Whew¡­" Isaac put his hands around his hip and caught his breath. Then, under the intense gazes of yers, he lifted his leg and stepped inside the portal.


    ¡­


    Outside the pathway.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    From the depths of the forest, armored and robed individuals appeared. They stopped once reaching the open valley and could see the majestic statue standing proudly.


    King Jonathan wrapped his fingers around the hilt of his sword and was about to begin walking forth. However, then the earth started shaking.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    From the top of a small hill, yers began slowly appear.


    King Jonathan, Queen Diana, and the rest of the yers frowned simultaneously. They weren''t aware that more yers were in the Forest of Unknown.


    However, soon their faces changed shades.


    At first, a dozen yers appeared, then it was a hundred, and finally a thousand.


    The thousands-strong yer army looked down at them, and in front of them was a man dressed in silver-colored armor.


    King Michael grabbed his helmet and removed it. His beautiful blond hair and strikingly beautiful blue eyes became visible. Everyone who saw thebo of his features was mesmerized.


    "Michael!" King Jonathan shouted in shock. Queen Diana''s mouth was also agape with shock painting her beautiful face.


    King Michael''s mouth curved upward as his grip on his sword tightened, "Jonathan and Diana¡­"


    King Jonathan took a step back, and a drop of sweat trailed down his face, ''Fuck¡­''


    Swing!


    King Michael unsheathed his shiny sword that reflected the sun''s light, "Hahahaha!"


    While most Stronglord yers weren''t sure what was happening, King Jonathan and Queen Diana did.


    They looked at each other with equally pale faces. They nodded and turned around to face their Guild members.


    "PREPARE FOR WAR!"

 Chapter 359 - Spring Realm - Rainwell

    Chapter 359 - Spring Realm - Rainwell.


    ''''Mmh?'''' Isaac''s eyelids fluttered as they began slowly opening. Instantly, he felt wetness surrounding his body. His hair became drenched, and his clothes hugged his body tightly.


    Isaac was standing right in the middle of an empty and muddy street. The sky was dark, with water pouring down rapidly. With each passing second, Isaac got more drenched.


    He unstrapped the sniper rifle and put it above him as slight protection, but it couldn''t do anything to stop from rain hitting him.


    His gaze ran circles, and he tried to find some shelter. It was difficult to see from behind the rainstorm, but barely, he managed to catch a shimmer of lighting from one of the buildings.


    Without further ado, he began running and soon reached a saloon-like building.


    Creak!


    Isaac opened the door and entered the saloon with a drenched body. He took a deep breath, and once moving the wet strands of hair out of the way, he could see many eye pairs locked at him.


    The building was rtively bar-like, with elderly men and women seated around wooden tables and a bar counter with a muscr man as a bartender.


    ''''Who may you be? Never seen you before, stranger.'''' The bartender asked while cleaning the already-clean cups. The elderly men and women soon turned their gazes away and focused on their discussions.


    Isaac went to the bar counter and sat on a wooden stool. Then, he said, ''''Traveler.''''


    He began drying his clothes, but it was no use. Then, he received a towel from the bartender and gave a nod of gratitude in return.


    After drying up his hair slightly, he opened his mouth, ''''Where am I?''''


    At first, he wanted to know where he was and then decide on his next course of action. After seeing the state of the buildings and streets, he concluded that he was in a faraway vige.


    ''''Information costs.'''' The bartender said while cing the cups below the counter.


    Isaac nodded and took a pouch of white coins. Then, he ced it right in front of the bartender, who nodded and epted them.


    ''''You are in a vige called Rainwell.'''' The bartender said.


    Isaac instantly heard dinging noiseing from his mind. It was the map that registered this vige into its database.


    ''''Where is the nearby city?'''' Isaac asked.


    The bartender shrugged and said, ''''I don''t know.''''


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Isaac frowned and thought that he might have got scammed after getting so little information.


    However, then a voice rang behind.


    ''''No one can leave Rainwell¡­'''' After Isaac turned around, he saw an old man with an eyepatch covering his left eye and missing his right leg.


    ''''Why?'''' Isaac asked with furrowed brows.


    The old man pointed at the poster on the wall that showed the map of the Rainwell. At first nce, the vige seemed very small and insignificant. However, there was arge forest surrounding the vige.


    ''''The forest is dangerous¡­ No one has managed to reach the end.'''' The old man sighed heavily, ''''I can only guess¡­ But, it''s like a test made by Gods¡­ Only strong ones shall cross enter the promisednd, and thatnd is behind the terrifying forest¡­''''


    Isaac nodded, but then he frowned, ''''If no one can leave this ce, no one should be able to enter either. Why aren''t you guys shocked that I am here?''''


    The bartender chuckled and said, ''''You aren''t the first one, y''know.''''


    ''''What do you mean?''''


    ''''Not long ago, so-called yers began popping up.'''' The bartender sighed and thought it was like from a fairy-tale, ''''They told us about the outside world, and it is incredible the things your kin can do.''''


    ''''Oh¡­'''' Isaac nodded, ''So¡­ I am not the only yer here¡­''


    ''''Thanks for the information.'''' Isaac gave another pouch of white coins as thanks and asked one more question, ''''Is there an inn, anywhere?''''


    The bartender took the pouch and said, ''''Yeah, just turn left and walk until you see a two-floor building.''''


    Isaac nodded and left the building. Then, he began running toward the left, and it didn''t take long for him to see the dark two-floor building.


    He entered with his body drenched again. After mulling over his wet clothes, he saw a grumpy-looking elderly woman sitting at the other side of the desk with wrinkled papers in her hand.


    Isaac stopped in front of the desk and instantly attracted the grumpy-looking woman''s ire. She pinched the bridge of her nose and said, ''''You stink!''''


    Isaac sighed and looked at the bottom of his pants, which were stained with mud.


    ''''What do you want?!'''' The woman waved her hand, trying to get rid of the stench.


    ''''One room, please.'''' Isaac saw the price tag on the poster, gave the white coins required for the room, and instantly received a key while the woman was motioning for him to go away.


    After reaching the second floor, Isaac entered his rented room. It was rtively simple, with the bed made of wood and a nket draped over it. The walls were in the color of ugly yellow, with the floor creaking after each step.


    There was a dirty-looking window that showed the dark sky and a small portion of Rainwell vige.


    Isaac took off his drenched clothes and began wearing something more casual. It didn''t matter to him because he still had the Hexagon Armor within him that kept him secure.


    Then, he sat on the hard bed and grimaced. After looking down, he could see that there wasn''t a mattress or anything like that. It seemed like he was supposed to be sleeping on a thick wooden nk.


    [Temporary Spawn Spot Located!]


    [ept/Reject]


    Isaac''s eyes sparkled as he pressed ept. Then, the interface popped up before him, and he began assigning his stats.


    After done assigning, he closed the interface. Then, he jumped to his two feet and stopped in front of the musky windows. After scanning through the nearby area, he noticed a few strange things.


    Most of the buildings were empty and void of any life. It could also be that they couldn''t afford any light source. After turning around, he could see a dimly lit crystal in the ceiling that shocked him.


    After all, it wasmon knowledge that the crystals were usually found among the nobles. However, Isaac then had a hunch that the crystals weren''t as rare as in Summer Realm.


    ''If that''s true... Why don''t other buildings have it... Hmm...''

 Chapter 360 - The Twins

    Chapter 360 - The Twins.


    Creak¡­


    ''''Let''s see.'''' Isaac dragged a wooden stool behind him and ced it underneath the crystal. Then, he stepped up and stood on the wooden stool, trying to take the crystal into his grasp.


    The crystal was draped over by some kind of wool. It was in the color of ugly color, and the texture seemed very thin. Isaac carefully moved the fiber out of the way, afraid he might identally rip it in half.


    After the wool was moved out of the way, he could see the dark yellow crystal. It wasn''t as bright as the ones he''d seen in Summer Realm.


    Then, he ced his hands on the crystal and slowly removed it from the ceiling.


    nk!


    Isaac flinched after hearing some unnatural sound that he wasn''t expecting to hear. He saw that the crystal was removed and had a bad feeling.


    Instantly, he moved it closer to take a good look. First, he checked for any cracks, but there weren''t any. Soon, he found out that the crystal was intact. However, the ceiling had a tiny crack.


    It seemed that the crystal was quite tightly stuck in the ceiling. Isaac thought that the crystal was indeed quite durable.


    Then, he stepped out of the wooden stool and sat down on his bed. He began examining the crystal because he was pretty fascinated by them.


    At first, he could see some dim lighting from the center of the crystal that gave it a yellowish hue. However, it was tough to see what it was.


    The crystal itself was very musky and dirty. He was surprised that the yellowish light could lighten up the room that well, even if only a tiny percent of the light managed to seep through.


    After examining for another ten minutes. Isaac perked up his ears and looked toward the opposite side of the room, at the wall painted ugly yellow.


    Crack!


    Out of nowhere, the wall cracked, and Isaac''s eyes slowly widened in shock. Then, the wall fell apart, and two figures crashed through. They seemed to be trading punches while rolling on the ground.


    They were dressed in robes with disheveled hair. Both of them looked identical, with short ck hair and gray eyes. Their facial features were simr, with a short nose, round eyes, and sharp brows.


    ''''Shut up!'''' One shouted and sent a punch squarely at the man''s cheek.


    ''''Grr, no, you!'''' The one who got hit shouted back at him and sent an uppercut from an awkward angle.


    Isaac quickly hid the crystal underneath the nket and stood up from the bed. His hand was getting closer to his Inventory. If needed, he would take his gun and protect himself.


    Soon, the two identical-looking men stopped fighting and patted the dust off their clothes. Then, they noticed where they were.


    The yer tags floated above them.


    [Niki]


    [Liki]


    ''''Hmm?'''' Niki frowned and saw a white-haired youth looking at them, ''''Hmm, where are we?''''


    Liki whipped his head around and saw the destroyed wall. He sheepily scratched the back of his head and said, ''''Oops.''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Then, Niki saw the destroyed wall, and his face changed shades. He turned around to face Isaac and gave a quick bow, ''''Apologies.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac wasn''t expecting an apology. He waved his hand and said, ''''No worries¡­ Who are you two?''''


    ''''My name is Liki.'''' Liki said while pointing at the other identical-looking man, ''''This is my twin brother, Niki.''''


    ''''Ah.'''' Isaac nodded.


    ''''Shit¡­'''' Niki said while looking at the destroyed wall. He was sure they had to pay for it, and it won''t be cheap.


    ''I don''t remember seeing you two in the battle,'''' Isaac said while getting seated.


    ''''We are from North Continent.'''' Niki then said and continued, ''''We have been here for quite some time.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac nodded with understanding and had so many questions. This was the first time he met anyone from other Continents.


    ''''Where are you from?'''' Liki asked, and while scanning Isaac, he noticed his paleplexion and figured out where he was from but decided to ask anyway.


    ''''South,'''' Isaac replied. After getting to know each other slightly better. The twins said the reason for their fight was because of disagreement. One wanted to cross the forest from the north side, while the other wanted to from the west.


    Apparently, to leave the vige was indeed through the forest, but there were monsters in level 150. Both Niki and Liki were Level 105 and far from being strong enough. But, they thought about sneaking through.


    After asking questions, they asked several from Isaac, and he replied with rtive ease. The questions weren''t hard ones. Only about the climate and the City where Isaac came from.


    After asking questions, they left because they still had to figure out a n to cross the forest. Then, Isaac took curtains from below the bed and covered the hole in the wall.


    He returned to the bed and continued examining the crystal. After examining for another half an hour. He went to put the crystal back on the ceiling. It was a harder task than taking it out.


    But, he used his ability Icy Shot to freeze the upper part of the crystal and the cracked ceiling.


    After cing the crystal back, he logged out for the day.


    ¡­


    After waking up in real life, Isaac sprung into his two feet, ced the headgear back on the box, and took it to the wardrobe.


    Then, he pulled out his phone and messages Luna where she was. After receiving a reply that she was in Stronglord, she sent several other messages.


    Apparently, everyone was excited about going to the second realm, making the Stronglord quite deserted from the yer base. She was grinding XP until the night time dawned and had to return.


    Soon, they stopped talking because she was about to have dinner with her family. Then, Isaac pocketed the phone and went to theptop.


    The forums were bustling with activity, and many were about the South Continent managing to defeat the Avatar.


    However, there was still a lot of negativity in thements section. Isaac ignored them all and closed theptop.


    After going to bed, nning to sleep early, he thought about tomorrow and decided to visit a certain someone.

 Chapter 361 - Battle Against Silver Death (1)

    Chapter 361 - Battle Against Silver Death (1)


    The following day.


    Isaac returned to the game and appeared in the smudge-filled room. His brows scrunched up as he had to smell that disgusting stench. He wasn''t sure where the stink came from and didn''t want to find out either.


    He took his Camouge outfit and put them on. After making sure that they were dried up, he left the room with the key hanging in his hand.


    After returning to the first floor, the grumpy-looking woman was already waiting for him. He returned the key and left the broken-down inn.


    Instantly after stepping out, he grimaced after seeing the state of the streets. They were mud-filled with the running water streaming down. Isaac dropped his gaze, saw his shoes being submerged in the mud, and became dirty again.


    He couldn''t do anything except curse under his breath. Then, he turned left and began walking down the mud-filled streets, trying his best not to wet his clothes anymore.


    After walking for several minutes, he reached the vige center and saw itpletely deserted. Movements were happening in the nearby buildings, but no one seemed to intend to go outside to dirty their clothes.


    ''''Brown,'''' Isaac muttered and made his camouge into color brown. This way, the mud stains weren''t as visible. Then, he continued walking and soon saw the exit of the vige.


    Outside the vige was the dense and lush-filled forest. However, he had no intention of going there so far. Instead, he kept walking and soon found what he was looking for.


    In the somewhat deserted and empty part of the vige, there was a stone door frame. Isaac smiled after recognizing it as Realm Portal.


    After reaching it, he pressed a stone button on the side and saw the Realm Portal turning on. Once the color had turned into a fiery red, he stepped in and disappeared from Spring Realm.


    ¡­


    Isaac opened his eyes and looked around him. He saw a somewhat dark forest with no end in sight. He recognized the ce as the Forest of Unknown.


    He had returned to Summer Realm. ????????????.???


    ''''Alright.'''' Isaac was nning to visit a certain someone and had a lot of questions to be asked. He pulled out the purple-colored ticket from his inventory and was about to rip it in half.


    However, then he began hearing the sound of screams and weapons shing. After turning around, from the gaps of the trees, he could see an open valley with shes of colors and armors rattling in the distance.


    Isaac''s eyes slowly widened in shock. He slowly walked over, and once reaching the end of the woods, he saw a battle happening between thousands of yers!


    They were fighting in front of the God Zephyros'' Statue, and it wasn''t a small battle. Instead, Guild War!


    ''''W-What happened here?'''' Isaac stored the ticket back into his inventory and scanned the area. Then, his eyes shook as he saw two familiar figures fighting against a man with silver armor.


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana tried to fight back, but the man in silver armor managed to overpower them and continued pushing them back!


    ''''Ah!'''' Out of nowhere, a man with a symbol of the golden crown in his armor fell to the ground right in front of Isaac. Then, another man appeared with silver armor and shed his sword down at the fallen man.


    Isaac recognized the fallen man as a member of the Golden Crown. He instantly unstrapped his gun and blocked the sword strike that was about to kill the member of Golden Crown.


    The man in silver armor looked shocked at the sudden appearance of the white-haired man. Then, Isaac deflected the sword away, spun his gun around, and fired.


    Bang!l


    The bullet pierced through the silver-armored man''s forehead and killed him swiftly.


    After killing him, Isaac helped the member of the Golden Crown to stand.


    ''''T-Thanks¡­'''' The man was named Finlone and instantly managed to recognize the white-haired man.


    ''''What happened here?'''' Isaac asked with a solemn look.


    Fine sighed and replied, ''''We met with the members of Silver Death guild when we were about to enter the pathway.''''


    ''''They are from different parts of South Continent, and apparently, they had some kind of grudge with Guild Master, King Jonathan. That''s all I know.''''


    After he was finished, he rubbed his eyes and said, ''''Sigh¡­ I am so sleepy¡­ We have been fighting for the whole night.''''


    Isaac nodded and patted his shoulder. Then, he walked past Finlone and left the forest. Instantly, he was surrounded by screaming yers that kept fighting with lives on their lines.


    Everywhere he looked, there was a sea of yers. Colors shed in the air, and the ground was filled with blue blood and destroyed part of the armor.


    ''''Rah!'''' A man wearing silver-colored armor stained with blue blood was throwing a rampage. He clumsily swung his sword around him, almost killing his enemies and allies.


    His eyes were hazy and unclear. His HP bar was blinking red, and he was one scratch away from death. However, no one dared to go closer. Everyone who had tried killing him died instead.


    Isaac weaved through the endless swarm of yers and soon reached the rampaging yer, who managed to get a glimpse of him. He raised his oversized sword and swung it down.


    Isaac bent his knees and jumped over the falling sword. Then, he smashed his gun into the man''s temple.


    The blunt side of the gun managed to smash through the piece of the skull, and once Isaded on the ground, he didn''t bother turning around.


    The rampaging man took one more step before turning pixels.


    After he was killed off, Isaac continued weaving through the waves of the yers and soon reached an area where higher-leveled yers were fighting.


    ''''EARTH BOULDER!'''' A green-robed Spellcaster held his cane high as he pointed his attack in the direction of Golden Crown members.


    The Golden Crown members put their shields in front and prepared for the impact. Then, a loud spine-chilling sound echoed throughout the vast valley and sent shivers toward everyone.


    Bang!


    A bullet flew across the air and drilled through the Spellcaster''s temple before killing him off thoroughly.


    The Mosin-Nagant''s barrel let out a puff of deadly smoke as Isaac slowly lowered his weapon. After killing the Spellcaster, he was noticed by the Silver Death members.


    Without further ado, a wave of sword-wielding men began rushing toward Isaac.

 Chapter 362 - Battle Against Silver Death (2)

    Chapter 362 - Battle Against Silver Death (2)


    "Hehe¡­" A chuckle escaped King Michael''s mouth as he kept defending against the barrage of the attacks.


    King Jonathan''s arms moved mesmerizingly as his sword brushed past King Michael''s robust body. But, for some reason, none of his attacks were hitting the mark.


    Then, he changed his grip and sent a horizontal sh from point-nk range. King Michael reacted by cing his sword in the way of the de.


    Click!


    The two swords collided, and both of them seemed to be of equal strength at first nce. King Jonathan rooted his feet to the ground and pushed his sword forth.


    King Michael did the same and effortlessly managed to stop King Jonathan''s advancement. They locked their eyes, and both of them thought about several follow-up attacks.


    Surrounding them was the endless horde of yers. They kept dying left and right, but not even one attacked the King-like figures.


    Then, King Michael''s eyes shone that began spreading to the environment. That pure white color got sucked inside the de that started to glow in the same color but with greater intensity.


    King Jonathan squinted his eyes and could barely keep his eyes open.


    "So far¡­" King Michael opened his mouth, "I haven''t seen anyone using Pdin ss to its fullest capability. They don''t understand the Holy Stat."


    King Jonathan listened closely, and a terrible feeling began sprouting inside his heart.


    "But¡­ I know." King Michael''s grin spread from ear to ear as the color white began pushing King Jonathan''s sword away!


    King Jonathan tried to fight against it, but it didn''t take long for his sword''s grayish color to be reced by a whitish hue.


    ''What is this?'' He looked at his sword and felt the weight increasing exponentially!


    His muscles bulged with blood vessels protruding. He gritted his teeth and tried to raise the sword, but it was like lifting a mountain!


    "Heh, that''s not all¡­" Then, King Michael moved his sword away, making the whitish hue disappear from King Jonathan''s sword. He sighed in relief after feeling the weight had returned to normal.


    However, he saw King Michael doing arge swing with the whole de glowing in pure white.


    King Jonathan widened his eyes in shock. Then, he took out his shield from the inventory and ced it in front of him.


    "Hahahaha!" King Michael''s happyughter echoed throughout the battlefield. Then, he finally finished his swing and a small ray of sword beam left from the de''s tip!


    King Jonathan''s muscles bulged as he prepared for the impact. Then, the sword beam collided with the sturdy-looking shield.


    BAM!


    "Arghhh!" The impact was much more powerful than King Jonathan anticipated and got pushed back by a giant leap. However, the sword beam disappeared after the collision.


    "Hehehe, I can''t let you die so easily." King Michael said while bolting toward King Jonathan. Then out of nowhere, several arrows flew across the air, straight toward him!


    King Michael came to a stop and moved the sword in front. Then, he sliced through the iing arrows. After thest arrow was cut through, he looked toward the distance with a grin.


    Queen Diana held her bow close to her chest with her beautiful hair floating around her. She jumped across the sky andnded next to King Jonathan.


    "Bothersome as always." King Michael said while swinging the sword around him.


    "Says you!" Queen Diana scoffed and pulled out a pink-colored arrow from her quiver. Then, she ced it on the bowstring and pulled it before releasing it.


    Whoosh!


    King Michael stepped to the side and saw the pink arrow hitting his nearby subordinate, who began acting strange. At first, his pupils became pairs of hearts with cheeks dyed in pink.


    His breathing became rough. Then, he slowly turned around and lovingly looked at Queen Diana.


    "Attack!" Queen Diana ordered.


    His gaze went from her to King Michael. Instantly, his face became enraged, and he rushed forth with a sword raised above.


    "Hmph." King Michael scoffed and shed with his sword. The de effortlessly cut through his subordinate''s body, who died without being able to blink even once.


    "You cannot defeat me." He said while turning around to look at them, "But you can try."


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana locked gazes. They nodded and rushed forth with their weapons ready.


    While their battle was raging. The rest of the battlefield was shrouded in a thick mist of death.


    "Ahhh!" A young man around 17s knelt on the ground with both of his arms missing. Then, a man with silver armor mmed his axe down. It effortlessly cut through the young man''s body, who turned pixels shortly afterward.


    After the axe-wielding man killed the young man. He turned around just in time to see an arrow flying straight toward his face. However, he tilted his head to the side and sent the axe flying toward the Archer.


    The Archer paled and got struck by the axe that sliced straight through his face. After he died, the axe-wielding man came to fetch his axe, who continued his endless rampage.


    No one seemed to be able to stop him. Soon, he saw a strange sight. At some distance away, there were several dead silver-armored men.


    He frowned and began sniffing the air. With his hunter senses, he could smell the thick scent of blood, but there was also something else.


    "What is this..?" The axe-wielding man stopped moving and was soon surrounded by ten pale-looking Knights. He looked around and didn''t care about the Golden Crown members.


    The Golden Crown membersmunicated with their eyes and soon nodded. They stepped forth and shed with their swords!


    The axe-wielding man bent his knees and jumped over the encirclement. While airborne, he shed with his axe and decapitated the Knights effortlessly.


    Afternding on the ground, the same weird sensation sprouted inside his mind. His brows scrunched up. It was like his hunter''s instincts were going on overdrive.


    "The Hunter in me¡­ Want''s me to hunt someone¡­ But, who?" The axe-wielding man at first thought it was King Jonathan. But, he had already met him once on the battlefield and didn''t get any kind of reaction.


    "Who is it¡­ My prey¡­"

 Chapter 363 - Battle Against Silver Death (3)

    Chapter 363 - Battle Against Silver Death (3)


    While the open valley was the center of the battlefield, it had also reached the pathway to Second Realm.


    Currently, in front of the first test. Three silver-armored men wielded their swords as three Golden Crown members faced them.


    The brown and white tiles were only several meters away from them. Neither side was making moves, and the battle had gone to a stalemate.


    The sound of deadly battles entered their ears, which made the six men tense up. Their grips on their weapons tightened, and it was inevitable that the battle would soon resume.


    ''''G-Golden Crown!'''' One of the silver-armored men shouted, ''''Back off, or you will die. You guys have no idea the power our Guild Master possesses!''''


    ''''S-Shut up!'''' The Golden Crown members quipped back. Their voices shook alongside their legs. However, they weren''t going to back off even though they were afraid of death.


    ''''G-Grr!'''' The silver-armored men took a step forward and were about to attack. However, then, their bodies turned stiff and their faces pale.


    The Golden Crown members frowned. But then, they saw an enormous shadow looming over them. They turned around, and soon looks of horror filled their faces.


    Behind them, a 2-meter tall monstrous-looking man appeared while wielding a one-handed axe. The silver armor hugged his body tightly, and it was a miracle that it didn''t break apart just from sheer pressure.


    Then, the one-handed axe moved across the room and cut straight through the Golden Crown members. They died without being able toprehend how.


    After they had died, the three silver-armored men bowed with sweat-drenched faces.


    ''''V-Vice Guild Master, Colossus!''''


    Colossus, the man wielding the one-handed axe, snorted and said, ''''Go on.''''


    ''''U-Umm, excuse me?'''' They didn''t understand what he meant, but they had a bad feeling about those words.


    ''''Do the test,'''' Colossus said while resting his one-handed axe on his shoulder. A sickening and sadistic grin appeared on his face.


    ''''B-B-But, w-we might die!'''' The silver-armored men cried out. None of them had yet found out how to sessfullyplete the tests.


    Colossus''s grin disappeared as he looked at them like they were a bunch of ants, ''''Should I care?''''


    The silver-armored men paled even more. They shakily turned around and gulped simultaneously as they saw the first test. The brown and white tiles were only one step away.


    They looked at each other, and soon, two of them looked at the yer furthest to the left.


    The one that was being looked at paled and looked toward Colossus, whose red eyes red at him intensely. His lips trembled, and he wished he could log out, but he was in abat state.


    He was being pushed slightly forth by two other yers, causing him to curse under his breath. The two yers were his so-called friends, but now they were pushing him to the jaws of death.


    He gritted his teeth and made a leap of faith. His feetnded on the white tiles, and he felt instantly something sharp going through his head. An arrow drilled through his skull, and he took onest breath before fading away from existence.


    The two remaining yers paled. They looked at each other and turned to look at Colossus, who looked at the yer on the right.


    The yer on the right almost cried. His body trembled as he turned to look at the tiles. He remembered the previous yer dying after stepping on the white tile.


    He stepped on the brown tile and let out a sigh of relief after seeing that nothing had happened. Then, the next row was only white-colored tiles. He looked back and forth between them and decided to step on the right-sided white tile.


    Then, the gears turned, and an arrow flew across the small room. Soon, the arrow pierced through his forehead, and he died with a look of regret.


    After only thest yer was left. He figured something out. Whenever the second yer stepped on the brown tile, he was alright, but they died once they stepped on white.


    His face soon had a smile as he figured it out. He was about to take his first step on the tiles, but then a sharp de cut through his body, and thest thing he saw was Colossus stepping over him.


    ''''W-W-Why?''''


    ''''You were too slow!'''' Colossus said and stepped on the brown tile. Then, he jumped over the second row andnded on another brown tile. He looked rtively rxed as he jumped on the brown tiles and soon reached the end.


    ''''Easy.'''' He said while continuing to move forth. Soon, he reached the second test and saw the destroyed Knights. He casually walked past the room and saw the Knight''s hands moving, but their bodies were destroyed, so they couldn''t do anything.


    Shortly afterward, he reached the wide-open granite door. In the vast hall, he could see the portal. He grinned as he stepped inside the hall.


    Then, he pulled out his interface and was about to send a message to King Michael. However, then, he turned around with a one-handed axe ced in front of him.


    nk!


    An arrow cracked in half as it collided with the sturdy de of the axe. Colossus narrowed his eyes and saw a figure draped in green robes appearing from the dimly lit path.


    ''''Well, well¡­'''' Colossus snorted and rested his axe on his broad shoulder, ''''Core Member of ck Arrow, Tobi.''''


    Tobi stepped inside the hall and said with a slight smile, ''''Colossus, famous Barbarian.''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Colossus snorted and tightened his grip on the axe. In therge City of Superfort, he was known as Barbarian and right-hand man of King Michael.


    He became famous after receiving his Unique ss, Barbarian. With that ss, he exterminated all the Guilds in Superfort, causing Silver Death to be the dominant power.


    ''''Shouldn''t you be helping your bitch Guild Master?'''' He asked while scanning the dimly lit path, ensuring that Tobi was alone.


    ''''She has a knack for survival.'''' Tobi said, ''''But they don''t really want any of you to enter the Second Realm. That''s why I am here, to stop you.''''


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' Colossus roared withughter, ''''You can''t stop me¡­ Also, the portal will be soon gone from here.''''


    Tobi frowned, ''''What do you mean?''''


    Colossus pulled out a pearl-like item from the inventory and grinned, ''''Teleportation Pearl, do you now understand?''''


    Tobi looked utterly shocked.


    While the Teleportation Pearl wasmonly used to help yers teleport from one ce to another. It could also be used to teleport items away. Like the Realm Portal¡­

 Chapter 364 - Battle Against Silver Death (4)

    Chapter 364 - Battle Against Silver Death (4)


    Crack¡­


    A twig broke after a solid-looking footnded on it. The ck-haired young man pushed the branches to the side and saw the battlefield filled with screams and the sound of weapons shing.


    ''''Damn¡­'''' Darth clenched his fist and tried to find his Guild Master from the sea of people. Luckily, he saw Queen Diana still fighting against King Michael.


    After entering the Spring Realm, he went to find an inn to find a temporary Spawn Spot.


    Temporary Spawn Spot was used to spawn at the ce where they left off. Isaac did the same, so he doesn''t have to travel again to the Realm Portal.


    Then, Darth went to sleep and woke up with his phone being bombarded by messages. After checking the messages, he stood up in a hurry and logged back into the game.


    To locate the Realm Portal that would take him back to Summer Realm took longer than he wanted. After returning, he was spawned close to the outer edge of the Forest of Unknown.


    That forced him to run tirelessly for close to an hour to reach the ce of the battle.


    Darth took off his quiver and counted all his arrows. There were only around ten. He didn''t have time to re-stockpile the arrows after the battle against the Avatar.


    He gritted his teeth and strapped it on his back. Then, he took out his bow and rushed out of the forest.


    ¡­


    Thud!


    Isaac fell to the ground with his hand ced on the back of his head to protect him from any head injury. Then, a man with silver armor appeared in front of him. His enormous shadow loomed over the white-haired young man.


    The sword he was wielding began slowly descending. Isaac quickly ced the gun above him and blocked the strike. Then, he deflected it away and turned the barrel toward the silver-armored man''s chest.


    ''''Oh.'''' The silver-armored man paled and tried to jump away, but it was toote.


    Bang!


    The bullet went through his body. His HP reduced rapidly. However, he wasn''t dead!


    He wobbled backward and almost fell to the ground. However, managed to keep standing. But then, Isaac stood up and crammed the barrel of his sniper rifle into the silver-armored man''s mouth.


    Then, he pulled the trigger, and the head exploded, which sent a spurt of blue blood everywhere.


    ''''Ptui!'''' Isaac spat out the blood that managed tond on his mouth. After wiping his lips with the sleeve, he turned around to look at the battlefield.


    The battle seemed endless, and even he was getting exhausted.


    He could see yers from Stronglord that weren''t part of ck Arrow or Golden Crown at some distance away. They came alongside them and then were pulled into the war. They had no other choice than fight.


    Whoosh!


    Isaac looked toward the sky, and an arrownded right before his foot. It was only inches away from drilling through his shoe. He turned to look at the person who fired it.


    He saw iting from a silver-armored man holding a crossbow. The silver-armored man strapped it into his back and pulled out an axe.


    ''''My prey¡­'''' The voice was inaudible. However, then the axe-wielding man began walking forth.


    Isaac frowned and saw him killing everyone who stood in his path. It didn''t matter was it an ally or enemy. He also seemed to being straight toward him.


    ''''What is wrong with him¡­'''' Isaac wasn''t sure why he wasing straight toward him and didn''t care either. He ced his gun into a firing position and pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    The bullet left the bullet explosively and flew past the wave of yers. After the axe-wielding man killed another ally of his, he saw the bullet.


    He ced the axe in front of him and easily deflected the bullet. Then, he bent his knees and leaped across the yers. After he was high enough, he held the axe with both hands and hammered it down!


    Isaac''s eyes widened, and he quickly jumped away.


    BOOM!


    The axe effortlessly cut through the ground and causedrge spider-web-like cracks around him. Then, he pulled it away from the ground and sniffed the air.


    The weird scent wasing from the white-haired young man. He didn''t understand why his hunter instincts wanted to hunt him down so badly.


    He grabbed the handle tighter and bolted after the white-haired young man.


    Isaac stopped retreating and fired several bullets that got blocked by the side of the axe''s de.


    Then, the axe-wielding man raised his axe above him and again hammered it down.


    Isaac evaded the strike, but his bones still rattled as the ground shook. The axe-wielding man''s attacks weren''t a joke.


    Isaac turned around to look at the axe-wielding man''s name and saw it saying Sitka. He carved that name into his memory.


    Sitka jumped after him and shed with his axe. Isaac stepped to the side and saw it brushing right past his shoulder. Then, he bounced back to create more distance but was instantly followed after him.


    While jumping, he fired several bullets, and they were again blocked by the axe. Isaac clicked his tongue, and afternding on the ground, he noticed himself surrounded by silver-armored men.


    They were about to attack him, but then Sitka''s strike came down!


    BOOM!


    After the collision, the axe destroyed arge portion of the ground and even killed several silver-armored men. Isaac, however, managed to evade it by jumping backward.


    Sitka''s eyebrow twitched, and he instantly went after. While chasing, he began swinging the axe around recklessly. Several strikes almost hit their mark, but Isaac barely stayed alive.


    Soon, they both reached the area close to the giant statue. Isaac''s escape route was getting narrow, and he had to think of a way to survive this current ordeal.


    Sitka suddenly changed the grip on his axe. He extended his hand and moved the axe behind him before throwing it toward the retreating young man!


    Isaac turned his head halfway and saw the flying deing straight toward him!


    His eyes shook, and he tilted his body to the side, just enough to feel the sharp de grazing past his body.


    The axe continued flying and crashed with the statue''s stone leg!


    The leg began cracking, and that caused Isaac''s eyes to widen. He looked back and saw Sitka pulling out his crossbow. Then, he turned back to the statue and aimed his gun toward the broken leg.


    BANG!


    BANG!


    BANG!


    He fired hisst three bullets and watched as the leg was finally broken. The statue began slowly falling down.


    Isaac quickly fired several icy shots that hit Sitka''s legs and covered them in a dense iceyer.


    Sitka''s face paled, and he watched as the stone statue fell right on top of him.


    CRASH!

 Chapter 365 - Battle Against Silver Death (5)

    Chapter 365 - Battle Against Silver Death (5)


    The falling statue killed several silver-armored yers.


    Isaac sighed in relief and surprisingly received all the XP from killing the yers. The game calcted that he was indeed responsible for killing them.


    There were too many names to count that got killed, and he couldn''t bother to see whether Sitka was also there. He saw himself leveling up. Then, he left the area to continue his battle somewhere else.


    Shortly afterward, a man with destroyed armor and disheveled hair crawled out from the destroyed statue. His eyes were filled with hate as he murmured.


    "My¡­ Prey¡­"


    ¡­


    "Whew¡­" At the top of a small hill. An adorable-looking girl with a camera hanging from her neck finally reached the top of the hill. In front of her was a steep slope that led to the battlefield.


    Her eyes sparkled as she saw the endless battles, "This will be my big scoop!"


    She took her camera and began taking pictures with a thrilling look.


    ¡­


    In Superfort.


    A group of well-dressed men was gathered around a small table. The room was dimly lit, and the smell of dampness was wafting through the closed space.


    The only light source came from the gasmp ced in the middle of the table. The light illuminated their serious faces.


    The silence had continued for several minutes. It caused the atmosphere to turn grim and solemn. Then, one of them began tapping the wooden desk, which garnered everyone''s attention.


    "Silver Death¡­" His words were oozed with hate. The one who spoke was a man with short ck hair and wealthy-looking attire. The current location for their meeting definitely didn''t fit with their status.


    They used to live in extravagant mansions, but now they had to hide like rats in sewers.


    The well-dressed men who heard his words clenched their fists until blood began dripping down.


    "Haahh¡­" He took a deep breath before continuing, "Silver Death is currently fighting against alliance forces of Stronglord."


    "So what?" A short man with chubby cheeks asked with a depressed look, "They will win anyway¡­ They always do¡­"


    "Enough!" The one who first spoke up stood up while mming the side of his fist into the table, "I know you all are scared. I am too, but this is the best chance to take back what was ours!"


    "Silver Death has acted unreasonably far too long." Another man said. He was dressed in luxurious robes with the symbol of a lion on the shoulder.


    "What is your n?" One of them asked.


    "Attack their Guild Building, and burn it to the ground!"


    Everyone seated around the table looked shocked.


    "Are you mad?! They will find out that it was us!"


    The one who spoke first turned solemn, "No one is guarding it¡­ They think that no one will do anything out of fear, but they are wrong."


    "With fear, anger follows." His face became enraged as memories resurfaced in his mind. Only several weeks ago, their family was living a rxed life, but then the yers appeared, and everything changed.


    At first, everything was quite simr. However, the yers grew far stronger than anyone could have ever expected.


    King Michael, the leading figure of the Silver Death, attacked them and managed to win after a long battle.


    Most of their families were ughtered during that battle, and not many were able to survive.


    They had to go into hiding. Even their hopes were extinguished. They never thought that they could get their revenge.


    After all, yers were immortal, and they grew stronger at a frightening rate.


    But, the little birds sang that told Silver Death attacked another City, that was just idiotic in their opinion.


    "This is for our dead family members¡­" He finished by showing his clenched fist dripping with blood.


    They looked at each other and nodded with serious looks.


    "It''s time to have our revenge¡­"


    ¡­


    BOOM!


    BAM!


    Inside the hall.


    Colossus smashed the ground with his one-handed axe. However, Tobi was like a slippery eel and managed to evade each strike.


    He fired several arrows that got smashed into pieces by the axe. Then, Colossus bolted forth with the axe already in swinging motion.


    Tobi ducked and managed to dodge the terrifying sh. Then, he pulled out an arrow and tried to stab it into Colossus'' thigh, but he was prepared for it and jumped back with room to spare.


    Then, Tobi ced that same arrow into his bowstring and fired it without hesitation.


    Whoosh!


    The arrow whooshed through the air but was destroyed into pieces by Colossus'' terrifying strike.


    The previously destroyed hall was even more devastated. Large crevice-like cracks reached the Realm Portal, and it was a surprise that the floor hadn''t copsed yet.


    "You cannot win," Colossus said and felt his hand itching. The Realm Portal was only several meters away from him. He wanted to pull out his teleportation pearl and steal the portal.


    That was their only goal, after all. They never fought because of pity, pride, or personal grudge. They have only one goal, and that was to steal the Realm Portal.


    It didn''t matter how many of them died. As long they get their hands on the Realm Portal, everything would be insubstantial.


    However, Tobi was perfectly blocking him from going toward the Realm Portal. At first, Colossus never thought about anyone in ck Arrow Core Team as a threat, but he had to admit that Tobi was far stronger than anyone would have ever thought.


    "Yeah¡­ I can''t." Tobi lowered his bow. But then, he grinned as he felt a presence nearing the hall, "But, we can."


    "?!" Colossus'' body went cold as something was approaching with deadly speed from the dimly lit path. Soon, the figure became visible. A short girl with a shy look entered the hall with a bow already ced on her arms.


    "Is this a joke?" Colossus said aloud and felt enraged, knowing that he felt a slight sense of fear. If his subordinates heard about him getting scared by this short girl, he would lose all fear and respect he had garnered so far.


    "Colorful." Tobi nodded toward the short girl, who stopped next to him. She shyly nodded and looked toward therge man. Even though his red eyes would scare anyone, she didn''t step back, instead took several arrows from the quiver.


    "Like I said." Tobi then said to Colossus, "I might not be able to win against you. But, we will definitely can."


    "Enough of the jokes!" Colossus screamed and smashed his axe at the short girl.


    Colorful''s knees bent as she jumped toward the falling axe. Then, she fired an arrow thatnded perfectly on the side of the axe.


    Colossus'' eyes widened in horror as the axe was suddenly deflected to the side. From the corner of his eye, he could see Colorful''s figureing closer with an arrow ced on the bowstring.


    Then, she fired another arrow, and Colossus could do nothing except prepare for the impact.


    SPURT!


    The arrow pierced his eye and reduced his HP by a dangerous amount. Then, a weird ugly green color began spreading around Colossus'' face, stopping him from breathing or making any movements.


    The arrow was poisoned!


    Colorfulnded on the ground with a smile on her face. Then, Tobi jumped toward Colossus with a grin, "Like I said¡­ We will win!"

 Chapter 366 - Battle Against Silver Death (6)

    Chapter 366 - Battle Against Silver Death (6)


    nk!


    With a nicely timed move, Colossus managed to block Tobi''s arrow with the blunt side of his axe. Then, he pushed it onward and managed to force Tobi away from him.


    The hot liquid was dripping down from his eye socket, and he couldn''t see anything or feel anything from his grave injury.


    His HP was already down to 100.


    Then, he pulled out the arrow and tossed it away. The hole became more noticeable, and it was indeed a gore sight.


    ''''RAAAH!'''' With an enraged shout, Colossus raised his axe and hammered it down at Colorful, who leaped backward instantly.


    CRACK!


    The axe destroyed the ground, which sent small pieces of tiles flying around.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Tobi was back at his two feet. After wiping his sweat, he pulled out several arrows and ced them on the bowstring. Then, he began firing alongside Colorful.


    ''''I won''t lose!'''' Colossus jumped forward while swinging the axe and smashing the iing arrows into pieces.


    Then, hended in the middle of Tobi and Colorful. After changing the grip of his axe''s handle, he continued shing.


    ¡­


    The battle between King Michael, King Jonathan, and Queen Diana was still undergoing.


    King Michael weaved through the arrows and shed toward King Jonathan, who put his shield in the way and blocked the strike.


    Then, Queen Diana pulled out a thin-ded rapier from underneath her robes. Shockingly, she threw her bow away and continued fighting with it.


    However, when their weapons were about to collide. A loud bang echoed in the open valley, causing everyone to be wary.


    Usually, after a loud bang, someone would get killed.


    Spurt!


    ''''Ah!'''' King Jonathan cried out and saw a hole on his thigh. Someone managed to shoot him!


    He couldn''t afford to turn around to look at whoever shot at him. He was still fighting against King Michael, and one loss of concentration would mean his death.


    Then, more bang''s echoed, and bullets began flying across the air. More and more Golden Crown members began dying.


    Some distance away, Isaac narrowed his eyes and scanned the area. Then, he noticed a reflection of lighting from one of the trees. After noticing it, another bullet left that tree and killed another Golden Crown member.


    With no time to waste, Isaac turned around and created some distance before turning away after he had a clear sight of the tree.


    However, when he was about to fire, a sole silver-armored man managed to push through waves of yers and saw a white-haired man holding a sniper rifle. Instantly, he thought that it would be a free kill.


    After all, Marksmen were apparently useless within close quarters.


    He shed while his sword caused a weird hum-like sound. When the sword was about to cut through the white-haired man''s face. Suddenly, Isaac fired!


    BANG!


    The silver-armored man flinched and momentarily stopped his attack.


    The bullet flew across the air and hit the person hiding in the tree, who fell from there and turned pixels while falling.


    Then, Isaac spun the gun around and deflected the sword strike. The silver-armored man looked shocked and was then hit to the stomach by the white-haired man''s solid kick.


    After he wobbled back, another sound of a gun firing was heard. The bullet drilled through his forehead and killed him swiftly.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac''s legs trembled. His stamina was running out, and his breathing had gone rough.


    ''Sigh¡­ I really need a break after this¡­'' He thought to himself with a wry smile.


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Stronglord, there was a house that was popted with somewhat strange individuals.


    From the outside, the house looked intimate and cozy. It was built of white bricks with blue paint that decorated the walls in warm colors. Small round-shaped windows let plenty of light to the first floor''s rooms.


    The house was equipped with a modern kitchen, a spacious living room, four bedrooms, and arge bathroom.


    The roof was triangr shaped and built with ck-colored tiles. A small chimney poked out of the center of the roof. Several smaller windows illuminated the dimly lit attic.


    The house itself was surrounded by a modest garden and white fence. At first nce, it would look like a house that fits a family of four.


    However, that wasn''t the case.


    Currently, KnightOfHoliness, a handsome man with beautiful blond hair, was swinging his sword up and down in a rhythmic manner in the living room.


    The couches, tables, and cabs were pushed to the side to allow them to create a small training space.


    Next to him, KnightOfCharming and KnightOfProtection did the same and swung their swords with sweat dribblets dropping down to the already sweat-stained floor.


    Since the defeat in Colosseum, KnightOfHoliness was mocked mercilessly by everyone. His arrogant demeanor wasn''t that popr within the yer base.


    His hatred toward Wraith bloomed like the darkest petaled flower. He wasn''t nning to rest before Wraith was kneeling before him with a depressed look on his face.


    After remembering the face of his hatred, the power of his swings grew until the surrounding furniture was in danger of getting sliced apart.


    Before he could break the room apart, the front door opened. Smander and TomValeo appeared with severe looks.


    ''''Holiness.'''' Smander opened his mouth.


    KnightOfHoliness stopped swinging and slipped his sword into his scabbard. Then, he took out his napkin and cleaned his sweat-drenched forehead.


    His two friends copsed on the chairs with exhaustion oozing from their features.


    ''''What?'''' KnightOfHoliness asked.


    ''''Guild War is happening in Forest of Unknown.''''


    KnightOfCharming and KnightofProtection perked up their ears. They listened attentively because it sounded pretty important.


    But, KnightOfHoliness didn''t care about anything else other than Wraith.


    ''''So?'''' He asked with a somewhat rude tone and slumped on the couch.


    Smander furrowed his brows. He had begun hating Holiness'' current personality. Ever since his defeat, he''d been unbearable.


    TomValeo stepped forth and said, ''''Wraith is there¡­''''


    KnightOfHoliness jumped to his two feet and shouted, ''''Then what are we waiting for?! Let''s go!''''


    He took his coat and bolted out of the house, quickly followed by his two friends.


    Smander and TomValeo looked at each other. Both shook their heads. Their so-called Guild had a very rocky start, and it was going downhill very quickly.


    However, once they stabilize their current situation, they n to finally reveal themselves to the world.


    The Famous Wraithless wasn''t far from being true.

 Chapter 367 - Battle Against Silver Death (7)

    Chapter 367 - Battle Against Silver Death (7)


    A stealthy-looking woman appeared in the corner of the forest. From the openings of the trees, she could see the endless waves of battles happening.


    She was dressed in full ck clothing that covered every inch of her body. Even her face was masked with only her crystal clear eyes visible.


    Pair of daggers hanged from her hips sheathed in scabbards. Her gaze lingered in the direction of the pathway. However, to reach it, she has to go through strong-looking yers.


    She wasn''t feeling that confident about doing that. But, she had a skill that fit the current situation perfectly.


    After ensuring that no one was near her, she crouched and began drawing in the dry ground with a small stick.


    Soon, a pentagram was drawn, and it glowed before showing somethingpletely different. The drawing showed a dimly lit path.


    She smiled and stepped inside the drawing. Then, after opening her eyes, she was standing in front of the first test with blue blood staining the ground.


    Her gender helped her find out how to pass the tests rtively easily. She only searched for Golden Crown or ck Arrow members and used her charm to pull their heartstrings.


    After a few flirting sessions, she managed to find out everything. She took her first step andnded on the brown tile.


    It was like a divine mountain was lifted off her shoulders. She smiled and continued jumping on the brown tiles. Soon, she reached the end and continued running.


    The second test was easily passable, and soon she reached the hall.


    Then, her body froze as she saw the earth-shaking battle. An enormous man was trying to kill two archers, who kept dodging and fought back without losing!


    She bit her nail, ''This is bad¡­ No one should have been here.''


    She pulled out her teleportation pearl from the Inventory. The pearl showed number 1. It had only one use left, and she thought about using it to steal the Realm Portal.


    However, she wasn''t confident about reaching the Realm Portal without being noticed. But, the possibility of earning money beyond her wildest fantasies clouded her mind.


    Her body became transparent as she used her stealth. Then, she stepped inside the hall and began running with a crazed look in her eyes.


    After the portal was getting closer, her eyes glowed with hope. However, when she was about to begin walking up the stairs that led to the tform that held the portal, she was stopped by a single arrow that brushed past her head.


    She shakily turned her head and saw Tobi looking at her with a stern look.


    ''''Oh, who do we have here?'''' Tobi pulled out another arrow. However, then Colossus leaped across the air and smashed his axe into the ck-clothed woman.


    ''''AAAHHH!'''' She cried out as she was smashed into pieces. Her destroyed body became shy-colored pixels that seeped through the cracked ground.


    ''''Die!'''' Colossus'' face looked mad as he continued his rampage.


    ¡­


    In Superfort.


    The well-dressed men were hiding in a dark alleyway. Their gazes were locked on a semirge building on another side of the street.


    The streets were empty and deste. Not even one passerby dared to walk past the Guild building of Silver Death.


    Surrounding buildings were also empty and dark. There were stairs leading to the guild building''s front door, and the windows showed an apparently empty building.


    They looked at each other and therge sticks in their hands that had some kind of cotton-like item stuffed into the tips.


    ''''Let''s do this¡­'''' They cheered themselves on and pulled out a small matchstick from their front pockets. Then, they scratched it on the side of the building, which caused a fire to begin flickering.


    After that, they touched the cotton-like item with the matchsticks, and that caused it to burst into mes!


    The mes were warm and bright. The dark alleyway was instantly illuminated in fiery colors, which attracted some attention from far-away passersby.


    After all of them had lit up their sticks. They left the alleyway and rushed over the street.


    The passersby''s paled and finally knew they were about to do something horrible.


    Then, the well-dressed man reached the steps, however, didn''t take one step further. Instead, they threw the sticks that crashed through the windows and broke them into hundreds of tiny shards.


    Soon, they saw fire bing stronger andrger. It didn''t take long for the smoke to seep through every window.


    They looked at each other with equally pale faces. However, their eyes showed a glimmer of excitement. They turned around and returned to the alleyway.


    They didn''t stay there, instead ran away as fast as they could.


    The passersby''s faces were horror-filled. They couldn''t believe that there were maniacs who attacked Silver Death!


    ¡­


    Back on the battlefield.


    Ding! Ding!


    ''''Hmm?'''' King Michael stopped attacking. His opponents, King Jonathan and Queen Diana, stepped back to catch their breath.


    King Michael opened his chat and saw a messageing from a random yer situated in Superfort. He wasn''t part of Silver Death. Instead, the preferable term would be ve of his.


    That random yer told about their guild building being on fire.


    ''''What¡­'''' King Michael''s eyes widened in surprise. He didn''t expect there to be anyone who would do such a thing!


    In his memory, everyone was afraid of them, and for a good reason too. He gritted his teeth and sent a message to Colossus about how was he doing but didn''t receive a reply.


    ''''Fuck¡­'''' He muttered under his breath. He hoped that Colossus didn''t utter their ns to whoever he was fighting. That wouldplicate things.


    ''''Everyone!'''' Then, he shouted, which attracted everyone''s attention.


    ''''Use your tickets. We are returning to Superfort!''''


    His subordinates looked surprised, but they listened. They pulled out their purple-colored tickets and ripped them in half.


    King Michael also pulled out his ticket and took another nce at King Jonathan. He snorted and ripped the ticket in half. Soon, he was gone as well.


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana looked at each other. Both had simrly shocked looks.

 Chapter 368 - The Relocation of Realm Portal

    Chapter 368 - The Relocation of Realm Portal.


    ''''Shit¡­'''' Colossus cursed after receiving a message from King Michael that told him they were retreating. The Realm Portal was only a few steps away, but it seemed that getting it would be impossible.


    In front of him, Tobi and Colorful were blocking the path with firm looks painted on their faces.


    ''''I wille back¡­'''' He uttered with hate, ''''Then, you two will die beneath my feet!''''


    ''''Haha, sure.'''' Tobi strapped his bow into his back and waved as Colossus slowly disappeared with a hateful look.


    Colorful sat down on the stairs and spoke with exhaustion, ''''Haahh¡­ I am so tired!''''


    ''''Me too¡­'''' Tobi sat down with droopy eyes. It was like he suddenly aged ten years.


    ¡­


    In Superfort.


    King Michael slowly stood up and saw the spacious City Center. The residents, who saw him, paled in horror and scurried away.


    However, he didn''t care about them. Instead, looked toward the distance, where a cloud of smoke was wafting toward the sky.


    He gritted his teeth and began running toward his Guild Building. Everyone who stood in his path was shoved to the side. However, no one dared to speak against him.


    Soon, he passed several streets and reached his guild building, which was in mes. The broken windows let out a cloud of smoke, and the white walls rapidly turned ck.


    Whoosh!


    Out of nowhere, King Michael began inhaling the air into his lungs. It was a strange sight because it looked like every wind breeze was sucked into his lungs.


    After inhaling enough, he blew it out, and the st of wind extinguished the fire


    [Wind Breath Used]


    The fire disappeared. However, the building was a mess. The walls were dyed in ck, and the windows were broken apart.


    He ran up the stairs and entered the building. The furniture was unrecognizable, and the floor was a mess. In front of the windows were burnt sticks, which seemed to be the reason for the fire.


    After picking up the sticks, he broke them apart and hatefully looked toward a dark alleyway, ''''Whoever did this¡­ You are dead!''''


    Then, footsteps rang outside, and Colossus appeared with disheveled hair and broken armor.


    ''''Colossus, you muscle-brained idiot.'''' King Michael stood up while showing a side of his face to the pale-faced Colossus.


    ''''Did you tell anyone of our ns?'''' He asked, ''''Please say no.''''


    Memories of him taunting Tobi while revealing the valuable information surfaced in his mind. He knew that if King Michael found out about it, he would kill him in both ingame and real life.


    He shook his head rapidly and said, ''''N-No!''''


    ''''Good¡­'''' King Michael said with some relief, ''''Where is Sitka?''''


    ''''He never used his ticket,'''' Colossus said.


    ''''Fuck!'''' King Michael tugged out his hair strands, ''''I hope he didn''t find another prey¡­ Thest time when he did, he hunted down that yer for a week. For whole fucking week!''''


    ¡­


    The footsteps rang in the dimly lit path, and soon, rows of yers entered the hall, where Tobi and Colorful were talking while seated on the stairs.


    They turned their heads and saw their Guild Master appearing with King Jonathan and hundreds of yers.


    Isaac was also with them but stayed silent while moving alongside the rows of yers. During the walk, he kept thinking about the strangeness of the battle. He couldn''t tell what it was, but he was sure there was something odd about King Michael.


    ''''What happened?'''' King Jonathan asked from tired-looking Tobi, who had barely enough energy to stand up.


    ''''Colossus, Vice-Guild Master of Silver Death happened,'''' Tobi replied.


    ''''What did he want?'''' Queen Diana asked while rubbing Colorful''s soft hair.


    ''''That.'''' Tobi pointed at the Realm Portal and saw everyone''s confused faces,


    ''''Apparently, teleportation pearls have enough energy to teleport Realm Portals away¡­ They wanted to steal it.''''


    Everyone''s eyes widened in shock.


    In the crowd of yers, Isaac''s face was one of shock. The teleportation pearl in his inventory felt much heavier than only a second ago.


    ''''Diana¡­'''' King Jonathan leaned closer to Queen Diana and began whispering. Their talksted for several minutes beforeing to a conclusion.


    ''''Alright!'''' He pped his hands and turned around to look at other yers, ''''If we don''t do something about the Realm Portal. One day, it will get stolen. That''s why I propose teleporting it to a safer ce.''''


    Most of the yers nodded and agreed. But, there was a minority that felt skeptical. If the Realm Portal was teleported to the protection of one of the Guilds, what stops them from keeping it for themselves?


    ''''In the Golden Crown Guild building, there is an indestructible room.'''' King Jonathan said and saw many disapproval looks on the crowd. He instantly knew that they were afraid that they would want to keep it for themselves.


    ''''I suggest teleporting it there.'''' King Jonathan soon continued before anyone could interrupt.


    ''''Before any of you oppose me. Hear me. It would be free for everyone who wished to use the Realm Portal. That''s a promise.''''


    King Jonathan''s promise was captured by dozen floating cameras. The yers felt more rxed after knowing that Golden Crown would be doomed if he backed off by his promise.


    ''''Now, does anyone have teleportation pearl?!'''' This was the most important question. Without one, they wouldn''t be able to teleport it away.


    The crowd of yers shook their heads. However, then, a single hand was raised.


    The crowd stepped to the side, allowing everyone to see the white-haired youth.


    King Jonathan and Queen Diana sighed in relief after seeing who it was.


    Isaac walked toward them and nodded. Then, King Jonathan leaned closer and whispered the coordinates of the room.


    He nodded and walked toward the Realm Portal. While doing so, he passed by Tobi, whose eyes never left him. There was strength in his gaze that told Isaac everything he needed to know.


    Tobi seemed to be a battle maniac and wanted to fight against him for some reason.


    From the granite door, Darth appeared with an exhausted look. He went to Queen Diana and began whispering to her. Soon, her beautiful face was scrunched into worry.


    Isaac appeared on top of the tform and pulled out the teleportation pearl. Then, he touched the rocky part of the portal and closed his eyes.


    Soon, the location of the secret room became very clear in his mind. Then, the portal began glowing radiantly, and after the bright light disappeared, the Realm Portal was also gone.

 Chapter 369 - Infinite Wisdom

    Chapter 369 - Infinite Wisdom.


    After teleporting the Realm Portal away, everyone took out their tickets and ripped them in half.


    Soon, they arrived back on Stronglord, and most of the yers separated. It had been a long night for everyone, and many went to sleep their tiredness away.


    Isaac bid farewells to ck Arrow and Golden Crown members. Most of them went to sleep while he left the City Center and continued walking in the streets.


    He opened his friend list and messaged Luna. Soon, he received a message that told him she was currently in the Stronglord.


    After sending another message, he closed the Interface and went to meet with her.


    During the walk, he also saw the loud drumming noisesing from the Colosseum. Even though most of the yers weren''t there at the moment. There were still strong NPCs that could keep citizens interested.


    After walking in the streets for dozen minutes, he finally saw a beautiful ck-haired girl dressed in witch attire while standing in front of the antique-looking shop.


    ''''Luna.'''' After arriving next to her, his words earned her attention. She turned around and smiled with the hue of pink quickly dyed her cheeks.


    ''''Hey!'''' Luna chirped. Then, her gaze went to the antique shop''s door, which had a sign that told it was closed.


    The shop belonged to Isaac''s grandparents, even though he had no idea. They had finally moved away from the outeryer and entered Noble Layer.


    Madison and Malcolm wanted to keep it secret from Isaac, and Luna confidently promised not to say anything to him.


    ''''You alright?'''' Isaac asked after seeing her absent look.


    ''''Ah, yes!'''' Luna nodded vigorously and asked, ''''You told me something about meeting someone?''''


    ''''Yes, there is someone I have to meet. Do you want toe?'''' After asking, Luna nodded. They locked their hands and began walking in the streets.


    Soon, they returned to the City Center. There were still yers left that were shocked to see famous yer Wraith returning with a beautiful girl.


    Their looks attracted both admiration and confusion. They all wondered who the girl was. After all, Wraith was someone that was usually seen alone or with ck Arrow Guild.


    Now, someone no one had ever heard of was holding hands with such a famous yer. Of course, it would attract questions.


    Isaac and Luna reached the Realm Portal. They paid the guard, received the tickets, and then stepped inside the portal.


    ¡­


    ''''Haahhh¡­ This is¡­'''' Luna''s eyelids fluttered, and saw a Vige Square surrounded by wooden and medieval buildings. The ground was muddy and soft. Way different from City.


    There was a fountain in the middle of Vige Square with yers gathered around it. It was filled with clear blue water, giving nearby vigers a sense of serenity.


    Once the yers saw Luna and Isaac, their eyes showed clear worship. Their outfits already told everyone that they were high-leveled yers.


    While every yer in starting vige was dressed in newbie gear, Isaac and Luna wore their unique outfits.


    Isaac''s gaze brushed past the yers. Everyone averted their eyes after seeing him looking at them. Few flirtatious looks were thrown in the direction of Luna. However, Isaac''s cold look at them caused them to scurry away with their tail between their legs.


    However, Isaac already garnered such looks. This time, Luna pouted and looked at the beautiful middle-aged women with disapproval, which caused them to wave their hands innocently.


    ''''Let''s go, shall we?'''' Isaac grabbed her hand and began walking in the soil-filled streets. Soon, they reached gates that were guarded by two Guards. They allowed them to enter without even batting an eye.


    After entering the Vige Chief''s house, they entered the weird corridor with a grass floor. Luna''s eyes sparkled as she felt the softness of the grass.


    ''''What is this?'''' She touched the grass and thought it felt authentic. She was amazed also at the weird framed paintings.


    Isaac wryly smiled. The sight was as weird as he remembered. Soon, they reached the end of the corridor, where another guard was standing with straightened back. He opened the door without any dy and allowed them to enter.


    The first thing they saw was the chandelier hanging. It was made of blue crystals, and Isaac''s look grew more inspective as he examined the crystals.


    Luna giggled as she saw the carpet made of wolf fur. She took off her shoes and moved her toes around as she felt the softness of the carpet tickling her bottom feet.


    The room itself was quitefy, with the fiery firece and couch ced only meters away. There was also a beautifully carved table in the middle of the room with four bookshelves next to the walls, crammed with books.


    Isaac took Luna to the couch, where they got seated. She was still unsure why they were there, but she didn''t mind spending somepany with her boyfriend.


    She felt shy and apprehensive after muttering the word boyfriend in her mind. However, once doing so, her heart was filled with sweetness.


    After several minutes, a door opened with a long screech, and a man with hunched back appeared. His mouth was curved into an innocent smile as he began chuckling.


    ''''Hahaha¡­ Youngd, you are here.'''' Ian nodded with approval and stopped next to the couch.


    Isaac stood up and shook hands with him, ''''Sir.''''


    Ian nodded and saw someone who shouldn''t have been there, ''''Oh, who is this lovely youngdy?''''


    Luna stood up and shook hands with a shy smile, ''''My name is Luna!''''


    Ian, at first, smiled. But then, his eyes became shocked, ''Winter Illness¡­ Is this coincidence? First¡­ The young man with the rarest type of Illness¡­ And now the youngdy, with second-rarest¡­ This is¡­ Fate!''


    After shaking hands, Ian slowly sat down on a wooden chair.


    ''''You said that when I am level 100, I will receive questions?'''' Isaac asked.


    Ian nodded and said, ''''You must already understand that the real world and World of White are connected.''''


    Isaac nodded, while the shy girl next to him looked somewhat confused.


    ''''While they are connected¡­ The avatar and real body are as well.'''' Ian said.


    Isaac nodded and said, ''''I have seen some strange changes within my real body.''''


    ''''Yes¡­'''' Ian nodded and continued with his aged tone, ''''That''s only the beginning¡­ Your curse has been reduced by a nice amount, but not enough.''''


    Isaac was about to ask more about the ''''curse''''. However, Ian knew exactly what he wanted to know.


    ''And I¡­ Know how to remove it.'''' Ian said and leaned on the backrest. His aged eyes showed infinite pearls of wisdom but also graveness. He had seen things that many would think were fake and the result of his wild imagination.

 Chapter 370 - The Way to remove the curse

    Chapter 370 - The Way to remove the curse.


    ''''How?!'''' Luna was surprised at Isaac''s urgent question. His face showed a clear desire to get rid of his cursed state.


    ''''Do you know what blocks humans from growing?'''' Ian asked a question.


    Isaac pondered for a moment. At first, he thought about their weak bodies, but he knew it wasn''t the correct answer after seeing the things Simo could do.


    In the end, he shook his head. There was no way he would honestly know the answer.


    ''''Limitations.'''' Ian said, ''''The God, who created World of Four Seasons, had to put some kind of limiter to every living being.''''


    ''''Otherwise, it would break the bnce of the universe.''''


    Isaac sighed and asked, ''''So, does that mean it''s impossible to grow beyond a certain point?''''


    Ian tapped his chin and answered, ''''At first, that was indeed the case. However, because of the appearance of White Online. There is a way to remove the limiter.''''


    ''''How?''''


    ''''Ever heard of Dreand?'''' Ian asked.


    ''''Yes.'''' Isaac nodded. He remembered Simo talking about it.


    Ian raised his eyebrow and was surprised that he actually knew about it. But then shrugged his shoulders and thought that one of the Mythical Figures must have revealed it.


    ''''There are different ways, but it''s almost impossible to learn how to enter Dreand with a human''s frail mind.''''


    ''''One needs to be at least a Mythical Being.''''


    Then, Ian raised one of his fingers, ''''One way is Dream Potion. That would allow everyone who takes a sip of it to enter their Dreand.''''


    ''''How to get that potion?'''' Isaac thought that something as valuable as that would be near-impossible to find.


    However, Ian smiled and said, ''''You already know¡­ You have your Secret Quest. Don''t you?''''


    Isaac''s face showed split-second shock. Luna curiously tilted her head and saw him showing his interface and the details of his secret quest.


    [Create a Special Potion!]


    [Ingredients: 1/5]


    [Flower of Dreams Acquired!]


    [Root of Dreams Needed!]


    [Resin of Dreams Needed!]


    [Leaves of Dreams Needed!]


    [Oil of Dreams Needed!]


    ''''Unlocking your limiter would help you greatly,'''' Ian mentioned.


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''By removing your limiter. It would also break your chains of curses. The curse had corrupted your limiter. By removing the limiter, the curse, of course has no ce in your body, and it disappears.''''


    Isaac clenched his fists, and a shimmer of excitement was seen in his eyes. It wasn''t long before his so-called curse would be truly gone.


    ''''This lovely youngdy would also find it very helpful.'''' Ian also said with a sly smile.


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Isaac frowned and looked at Luna, who was as confused as he was.


    ''''Winter Illness,'''' Ian said with a serious tone.


    Luna and Isaac widened their eyes in shock. They didn''t expect him to know about the illness of the real world.


    ''''By removing the chains, it would also remove the Winter Illness because it has been injected into the chains.''''


    ''''That''s why it''s impossible to be cured because the chains are impossible to be located by human technology!''''


    Luna''s eyes moistened as he looked at Isaac and asked, ''''I-I-Is he speaking the truth?''''


    Isaac looked at her and thought for a moment. Since the encounter, there was a feeling of warmth sprouting inside his heart. It told him everything he needed. The somewhat weird old man, Ian, was on their side.


    ''''Yes¡­ I think he is.'''' He replied with honesty. Then, Luna buried her face in his shoulder and stained his shoulder in tears.


    Isaac pats her soft hair and sees Ian standing up.


    ''''Go to Spring Realm and search for the ingredients there,'''' Ian said and stepped toward the door.


    Isaac nodded and asked, ''''Was it because of this I had to wait till 100 level?''''


    Ian stopped and turned his body around with a smile, ''''Yes¡­''''


    Bam!


    He closed the door behind him, and soon the sound of his footsteps grew further away.


    Isaac used his thumb and wiped Luna''s tears away. Then, they left the vige chief''s house. During the walk, Luna asked questions about everything.


    She still thought that it was unreal that the two worlds were actually connected and could barely believe it. However, the wordsing from Isaac made it true in her mind.


    Before returning to Stronglord, they toured around the Swornword. Every building brought a sense of nostalgia toward Isaac, while Luna was simply curious about everything.


    They also went to meet Kulos, the merchant store owner. Isaac sold a few items of his, and this time, Kulos was shocked. That look gave Isaac a slight sense of satisfaction.


    After all, Kulos usually showed looks of boredom or disinterest at the items he had shown. This time, Isaac managed to shock him.


    After selling his items, they left the store and ripped their tickets.


    ¡­


    ''''What do you n to do now?'''' Isaac asked while stepping down from the portal. Luna''s eyes were still hazy. She hadn''t gotten used to Realm Portals and needed several seconds to earn her eyesight back.


    ''''Grind XP, I guess¡­'''' She replied while rubbing her eyes. There was still some redness around the rim of her eyes.


    Isaac nodded and held her chin before doing a small peck on her lips. Afterward, they bid farewell and separated ways.


    Luna''s body disappeared as she stepped inside the Realm Portal that took her to Beast Forest.


    Isaac then began walking in the streets. His journey led him to the Golden Crown building he had visited once before.


    After stepping inside the building, he was greeted by a few guild members that reminded him. He asked about the Realm Portal and was taken there.


    King Jonathan already told every subordinate of his to give free passage to him.


    After walking down circr stairs, they reached a basement with an eerily vibeing from the dark, granite-like walls.


    There was a wall with a door that separated the basement area. After the Golden Crown members opened the door, a dark room became visible.


    In the middle of the room was the Realm Portal while glowing in radiant orange.


    Isaac didn''t have to go into the Golden Crown building. He had already once visited Spring Realm, which meant that he could use City Square''s Realm Portals to take him there.


    However, he wanted to see the secret room, and it was indeed a strange sight.

 Chapter 371 - The Forest of Rainwell

    Chapter 371 - The Forest of Rainwell


    Whoosh!


    The Realm Portal hummed, and then a humanoid figure walked out of the orange spiral-like smoke.


    After stepping out of the realm portal, Isaac opened his eyes and saw the Rainwell vige shrouded in a thickyer of mist while raindrops fell down heavily from the dark gray sky.


    "Damn!" He began running as his outfit was soon drenched. The wooden saloon was the closest building to him, which was again operational, with lights seeping out from the windows and illuminating the somewhat dark street.


    Thump!


    With a loud thump, Isaac stormed inside the saloon. His whole body was soaked and soggy.


    The elderly men and women turned to look at the white-haired young man before continuing their drinks and discussions.


    The bartender took out a towel and tossed it toward Isaac, who grabbed it with a wave of his hand and began drying up his wet hair.


    Then, he got seated on a stool and asked, "How often is it raining here?"


    "Daily." The bartender said while using a thin cloth to clean the ss cups.


    "Haahhh¡­" Isaac massaged his temples. The rain felt weirder to him than the most. It was precisely back in Brightstar when he saw rain, and it was an important day for multiple reasons.


    Now, he''d seen two heavy rainstorms in only two days.


    "I have a question." A bartender said and put the ss cup back in its previous ce, below the desk.


    "Hmm?" Isaac stopped drying up his hair.


    "What do yers actually do?" The bartender asked, "I know you guys hunt down the corrupted monsters and wild animals. But, what else?"


    "Corrupted monsters and wild animals?" Isaac''s brows furrowed into a questioning look.


    "Yes, they are corrupted." The bartender said with a raised eyebrow. Seeing the white-haired young man''s look, he understood what he didn''t know it meant.


    "They weren''t always liked that." He said and continued, "They lived together, in harmony. The wild animals didn''t attack humans, and monsters lived in their own viges."


    "What happened?" Isaac asked.


    "I don''t know¡­" The bartender looked down and saw the clean wooden desk with water dribblets disappearing, "Everything changed ten years ago¡­ They became evil¡­ Vengeful."


    Isaac rested his chin on his palm and thought about what he heard with a deep look. Then, the heavy rain pours stopped, and a shimmer of sunlight peeked through the dark clouds.


    The dark gray sky cleared up, and the yellow sphere reappeared.


    "Rain''s over." The bartender said with slight relief, "The rain won''t happen again tonight. It never does twice a day."


    Isaac nodded and stood up from the stool, "Thanks."


    "No problem." He said and continued doing his job, serving drinks, and cleaning the dirty tables.


    Isaac left the saloon and saw the muddy ground. There was wetness airborne, and the air had gone cold.


    Then, Isaac returned to the broken-down inn and rented a room for a week. The innkeeper was angry at the destruction hisst stay caused, but dly, the twins paid for the damages, and he could actually rent another room.


    After paying the rent, he left the inn and continued walking in the streets. Soon, he saw the gate of the vige and a dense and lush-filled forest.


    The forest was enormous with beautiful greenery, and flower patches enjoyed the grace of the sunlight. The thick branches and leaves moved back and forth alongside the wind, and the chirping of birds echoed throughout the air.


    Isaac left the vige through the gates and noticed that there weren''t guards like in other viges. It was doubtful whether this ce even needed.


    It was fairly abandoned. The poption was around 100, and there were only a few yers.


    Isaac stopped in front of the forest, where the grass part begins. Below his feet was the muddy ground, and only a step away was the wet grasnd.


    He stepped forth and walked past the first trees. Then, a notification emerged out of thin air.


    [You Entered Forest of Rainwell!]


    He waited for the next row of notifications, but it never came. His brows scrunched up as he thought there would be a level limit. But there wasn''t.


    ''Hmm¡­ No level limit¡­ That could mean danger.''


    ''I really hope that there aren''t simr beings like the giant centipede¡­ Now that I think about it, the level limit of the forest was 100, and it was definitely above that¡­''


    ''Well¡­ The centipede wasn''t actually within the forest¡­ Instead, underground, in its ownir.''


    Isaac stepped deeper into the forest and saw the water dropletsnding on his shoulders before drying up. The trees and leaves were still drenched, and the ground was soft.


    The deeper he walked, the denser the forest became. In the distance, he could see a slight uphill that raised above the tree line.


    After reaching the top of the uphill, there was smoother ground with even more trees. There was a slight opening through the branches, where I could see a wide-area void of any woods.


    Then, after reaching the vast area, the scene I expected to see happen. Three, wide, and fat-looking warthogs were using their horns to dig the ground.


    Then, they heard the approaching footsteps and saw Isaac standing with his hand slowly approaching his back.


    The warthogs'' hooves began smashing the ground before running toward him. Their tusks were in an attacking position, slightly nted upward.


    "Khrrr!"


    Isaac took out his weapon and fired immediately after the barrel pointed at the first warthog.


    Bang!


    The bullet pierced through the first warthogs'' forehead, killing it swiftly. However, two remained, and they were already pushing their bodies forward.


    "Shit!" Isaac put his gun in the way, but once the four tusks collided with it, his bones rattled as he was forced back with great strength.


    After crashing to the ground, he quickly used the gun as a walking stick and stood up with his legs feeling the heaviness of the attack. Then, warthogs rushed forward, this time with the intent to kill.


    Isaac grabbed several rocks from the ground and froze them over before throwing them at the warthogs. The bulletsnded on their faces, but that barely did any damage.


    But that gave enough time for Isaac to move into his firing position.


    BANG!


    BANG!

 Chapter 372 - The Black Grim Smoke

    Chapter 372 - The ck Grim Smoke


    [You Killed Warthog!]


    [7000 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Warthog!]


    [7000 XP Earned!]


    [You Killed Warthog!]


    [7000 XP Earned!]


    ¡­


    The three warthogs'' corpses disappeared.


    After killing them, Isaac walked to their digging ground. The grass ground was turned over, and it looked like they were trying to dig something valuable up.


    He strapped his gun on his back and used his fingers to dig deeper into the ground. Soon, his fingertips collided with something metallic.


    After moving the dirt out of the way, he could see a metal box that seemed to be rusting. Then, he took it out, and it felt surprisingly light.


    There didn''t seem to be a lock to open it. Isaac tried to freeze it over. Maybe that would allow it to be opened. However, after the thinyer of ice was vaporized, the box looked simr.


    Then, Isaac threw it into his inventory and decided to take a good look at itter. Afterward, he resumed walking deeper into the forest.


    However, at that moment, something began crawling closer to him. Isaac stopped and frowned.


    In the distance, a grim ck smoke destroyed everything on his path. The flower patches dried up, and trees aged rapidly.


    The strands of grass turned into ashes, and the leaves were burnt to crisps.


    Isaac pulled out his gun and pointed it at the ck smoke. However, it didn''t seem to be a living being, and he noticed it quickly.


    He decided to leave for now. Then, after turning around and taking his first step, something flew out of the smoke and wrapped around his legs.


    ''''What?'''' Isaac''s heart pounded in anxiousness, and he saw ck-colored vines wrapping tightly around his legs. Then, the vines swept him out of his feet and dragged him to smoke.


    Unluckily, he lost his grip on his gun and dropped it. His eyes shook in worry, and soon, he was sucked inside the ck smoke.


    The smoke began cramming inside his mouth and nostrils. The eyes weren''t spared either, and his whole face was shrouded in a ck goo-like substance.


    ''''Aahh!'''' He tried to scream out, but they were muffled.


    [You Are Being Corrupted!]


    Isaac''s eyes shook, but then another notification emerged.


    [Mythical Legacy''s Defense Against Corruption¡­ Activated!]


    Soon, the smoke was sucked out of his body. At first, the vine-like smoke left his mouth, and tiny smoke trails left his nostrils.


    Then, the ck goo disappeared, and his eyes returned to normal.


    Isaac quickly grabbed a rock from his leather pouch and smashed it into the vines. It worked because the vines were loosened enough for him to rip them apart.


    Then, he jumped to his two feet and looked around him anxiously. Everything was dark and smoky.


    There was a feeling of coldness enveloping him, and he felt like he was being submerged in viscous water where he could barely breathe.


    Then, from the depths of the smoke, several shadowy figures appeared with smoking swords.


    The swords looked rather unusual. It looked like the ck smoke but in the form of a sword.


    Each step of theirs corrupted the environment even more. The grass died rapidly, and the flying birds above the trees managed to let out a final breath of theirs before dying


    ''They are the reason for the ck smoke!'' Isaac thought and moved his hands behind his back. But then, remembered that he had dropped his gun and that he was weaponless!


    The shadowy figures marched forward. The smoke that oozed out of their bodies soon reached Isaac, and he was instantly paralyzed.


    Thud!


    He fell to the smoky ground and saw the shadowy figures circling around him. Then, their swords disappeared, and they grabbed him from his clothing before dragging him deeper into the forest.


    ''Fuck¡­ What should I do? Think, think!'' Isaac closed his eyes, and his brilliant mind began running on overdrive. Then, he opened his eyes with cold air leaving his nostrils and mouth.


    [Icy Shot Used!]


    Crackle!


    Whoosh!


    The thickyer of ice appeared out of nowhere, and it began spreading in the environment. It began shing with the ck smoky and was quickly defeated.


    However, the ice managed to shroud the shadowy figures in a cocoon of ice for a split second before they managed to break through.


    That gave enough freedom for Isaac to jump into his feet and begin running away. The shadowy figures turned their heads around 180 degrees, and swords soon appeared in their arms.


    Then, they chased after Isaac. However, he had already managed to reach the edge of the smoke area. Soon, his body phased through the thickyer of smoke, and he was out of the weird mist.


    Isaac didn''t stop running and soon reached the ce of his weapon. He grabbed his gun and continued running until he was out of the forest.


    He slumped down on the ground and wiped his cold sweat, ''''Damn¡­ This ce is much more dangerous than I thought it would be.''''


    After looking back at the forest, a storm was brewing in the distance. The ck smoke soon disappeared and left a destroyed portion of the forest behind.


    He took another deep look into the forest before returning to the vige. Soon, he was back in the inn, and he returned to his rented room.


    After twisting the key in the keyhole, the door opened with a creak, and a dpidated room entered his view. He made the room his temporary spawn spot and then logged out.


    ¡­


    After waking up, Isaac took off his headgear and saw the skinsuit being sucked inside it. Then, he ced it back in the box and hid it inside the wardrobe.


    Then, he went to his desk and took out his notebook. He began writing down what he did today and reserved the whole page for the weird ck smoke.


    After writing everything down, he began thinking about how to pass the forest sessfully.


    The first thing that he thought was about hisck of level.


    Then, he nodded and began writing down.


    ''''I need to increase my level¡­ Colosseum should be a good ce, especially to get fast level and rewards.''''

 Chapter 373 - Zanes Dojo

    Chapter 373 - Zane''s Dojo.


    Ring¡­


    "Hmm?" Isaac''s hand stopped writing after feeling vibrations from his front pocket. He pulled out his phone and saw a message from Lionel.


    He asked if Isaac was free tomorrow.


    Isaac replied yes, and Lionel asked if he wanted to visit his dojo.


    "Hmm, dojo¡­ Sure, why not." Isaac replied with yes. Then, Lionel sent coordinates, and it was rtively close to him.


    Then, Isaac pocketed the phone and resumed writing down.


    ¡­


    The following day.


    Burble!


    The sound of water running echoed throughout the room. Isaac was washing his face inside the bathroom before cleaning his drenched face with a towel.


    Then, he left the bathroom and took his winter clothes. After that, he left his room and went downstairs.


    In there, he saw his father, Maxwell, talking with Isabe. Their faces seemed concerned.


    "I am going to visit the city!" Isaac said while quickly moving closer to the front door. Then, he slipped his feet into his winter boots and opened the front door.


    Then, his mother''s voice came from the living room, "Isaac, wait!"


    Isaac left the house and closed the door behind. He knew if he waited, he would have to suffer questions. Then, he left the yard through the open gates and walked down the streets.


    Soon, he left the neighborhood and reached the quiet streets. A cars drove past slowly, and citizens kept entering nearby stories.


    Isaac pulled out his phone and checked the coordinates. Then, he felt an intense stare aimed at his face.


    He looked to the right and saw a young girl, around 8s, holding her father''s hand, who was checking out the TV through the shop windows.


    She looked at him without blinking and even felt like an emotionless doll.


    Isaac wryly smiled and walked past her. Even after walking for several seconds, the feeling of being stared at didn''t disappear.


    Then, finally, he reached the dojo. He stopped in front of a two-floor building mostly made from wood. It was giving off Asian architecture vibes with windows being covered in a wooden frame and tough, translucent white paper.


    Above the door was a sign that matched Lionel''s dojo''s name. Isaac pocketed his phone and entered the dojo.


    After entering through the doors, he saw a sign that told him to take his shoes off. He did as instructed and put them next to the other shoes.


    He stepped deeper into the dojo and felt the hard wooden floor underneath his feet. Then, he saw over ten young boys and girls punching the air with sweatdrops trailing down their youthful faces.


    In front of them was a middle-aged man who had his hands folded behind his back. He was wearing a simr outfit to the boys and girls, a white-colored Gi.


    A ck-colored belt was wrapped around his waist, while most of the younglings had white-colored and few had yellow.


    "Excuse me." Isaac was brought out of his state of stupor. He saw an adorable-looking girl wearing the white-colored Gi with a brown belt holding a clipboard.


    "Are you here to register?" She asked while showing a small smile.


    "Ah, no, I am here to meet Lionel," Isaac replied.


    "Ah!" She eximed and nodded, "Lionel is currently on the second floor. Please follow after me."


    Isaac nodded and walked behind her. While walking, she decided to ask.


    "Who are you?" She asked after not remembering seeing anyone like him before.


    "Isaac, and you?"


    "Ava." She put her hand forward, and Isaac shook it.


    Then, Ava asked, "What is your rtionship with Lionel? I have only seen his delinquent friendsing to visit him."


    Her face was slightly grim after mentioning the delinquents.


    "His friend," Isaac replied.


    Ava sighed in relief and nodded, "Good¡­ I am worried about his friends. They always seem to be thinking about evil things!"


    Her fists clenched as she thought Lionel might be corrupted by those evildoers.


    "Eh?" Isaac''s mouth twitched as he asked, "What about Lionel?"


    "What about him?" She asked curiously while blinking.


    "Howe Lionel''s image is different in your mind?" Isaac asked out of curiosity. If he remembered correctly, it was precisely him who was the most delinquent-like.


    Ava looked confused as she tilted her head, "Well, he is a good person and nothing like those delinquents!"


    Isaac almost roared inughter but managed to muffle them and nod instead. He didn''t think Lionel was a bad person, but he could be very heated.


    One time, someone pushed Marvin down the stairs, and Lionel heard about it. Then, he went to meet that person and broke both of his legs in front of the entire school.


    He was lucky that he was underage back then.


    Ava stepped up the stairs and quickly followed after Isaac. Then, they reached the top and saw another wide-open space with several doors leading to private training rooms.


    However, currently, two men wearing white-colored Gi''s were seated on the wooden floor in the middle of the wide-open space.


    Both of them had ck-colored belts.


    Lionel''s eyes were closed, with his blond hair fluttering around him. Then, he slowly opened his eyes. He looked somewhat handsome with sharp eyebrows, athletic built, and a well-defined jawline.


    Opposite of him was his teacher named Zane. He was a middle-aged man with a thick beard and sideburns. The strands of his dark brown hair ovepped his eyes.


    Then, both of them nodded and stood up. They moved into their fighting stances.


    Zane had his center of gravity low with his front feet ced before him. Then, his arms were ced next to his waist.


    Lionel''s toes were slightly curved down with his back straight. Their stances seemed the pr opposite.


    "Ha!" Zane was the first one to make his move. He stepped forth and sent a rotational punch.


    Lionel quickly moved as well and deflected Zane''s punch with the side of his fist. Then, he took a quick front step and threw a swift uppercut.


    Zane had already ced his hand below him and managed to grab Lionel''s punch before it could prove problematic for him. Then, he tried to sweep Lionel''s legs under him.


    But Lionel was prepared. He raised his leg, then did a strikingly fast front kick.


    Zane moved his hands in front and crossed his arms. Then, the kicknded, and it didn''t do any damage because he had already rooted his feet to the ground and stabilized his stance.

 Chapter 374 - The Encounter

    Chapter 374 - The Encounter.


    Soon, the fight was over, and both Zane and Lionel were drenched in sweat. They shook hands and discussed something.


    Zane gave pointers and told about the mistakes Lionel made during the match. He listened closely to his master, and after he finished, he gave a mannerly bow.


    "You have grown stronger." Zane patted his shoulder, "But, remember, never use your strength to start a conflict."


    Lionel snickered and said, "I never do."


    Zane sighed, "Why do I feel like you always do?"


    Lionel shrugged his shoulders. Then, he saw his junior, Ava, standing alongside Isaac.


    "Master, this is Isaac. Marvin''s little brother." He introduced his master and his future pupil.


    Zane rubbed his beard and nodded, "Interesting¡­"


    Isaac bowed and said, "Nice to meet you."


    "I am gonna teach him a few things." Lionel''s words shocked both Zane and Ava. It was widely known that he wouldn''t even teach his friends.


    "Hmm¡­" Zane began circling around Isaac and murmured, "His body isn''t very strong¡­"


    "Good thing that your style doesn''t need a strong body, instead a strong mind," Lionel said with a chuckle and motioned for Isaac to follow him.


    Isaac said farewells to both Zane and Ava, then followed after Lionel. They entered a separate room for their training.


    It was another room with wooden floors, striking pads, boxes full of bo-staffs, and wooden frames with a tough, translucent white paper surrounding the room.


    "Grab two of the bo-staffs," Lionel said and grabbed a towel from a nearby desk that he used to wipe his sweat.


    Isaac did as he was told and took two thick wooden bo-staffs into his arms. He threw one for Lionel and held another in his hand.


    Lionel grabbed the staff and spun it around in his hand, "This staff, does it remind you of your sniper rifle?"


    Isaac looked at it and shrugged, "Maybe a little bit."


    Then, Lionel grinned and said, "Well then, let''s test that out!"


    With incredible speed, he moved across the room and sent a downward sh toward Isaac.


    Isaac quickly moved the staff above him. He used it like he had used his sniper rifle countless times.


    Thump!


    Lionel''s staff collided with Isaac''s staff.


    "Good!" He said after Isaac managed to block the first strike. Then, he pushed Isaac''s staff away and did a quick thrust forward.


    Isaac spun the staff around and sent a sideway sh that deflected Lionel''s attack.


    Then, Lionel jumped up and struck down with his staff. Isaac gritted his teeth, quickly moved his staff above him, and felt the brute strength of Lionel''s rattling his bones and causing him to bend down


    After Lionelnded on the ground, he swept Isaac''s legs from under him and watched as he crashed with a loud thud.


    Isaac quickly rolled in the ground and heard the staff smashing his previous spot.


    "You haven''t trained at all, right?" Lionel asked while spinning the staff around him.


    Isaac nodded after standing up while the staff was in front of him in a protective manner.


    "It seems that it''s true that White Online can actually improve your fighting abilities." Lionel nonchntly mentioned.


    "I never thought about it before¡­" Isaac murmured.


    "But¡­" Lionel began running and shouted, "You are still clumsy and weak!"


    He shed at Isaac''s legs with enough strength to make a significant injury. Isaac''s eyes shook, and he made the first move that came to his mind.


    He bent his knees slightly and jumped up. But then, he saw that the height of his jump was mediocre, very mediocre!


    Now, he understood his mistake. While his physique in White Online was good enough to jump meters into the air, he couldn''t even one meter in real life!


    The staff struck his abdomen, which sent him crashing down to the floor.


    Thud!


    "Ahh!" Isaac let out a cry of pain.


    "You can''t trust your White Online physique." Lionel said, "In real-life, your body is weak, and you have to learn to counter that."


    Isaac shakily nodded and grabbed Lionel''s hand, who helped him stand up.


    For the next several hours, they trained together. Then, they ended it after Isaac''s body couldn''t handle any more punishment.


    After he left the building, he could barely keep standing. His whole body was aching and shaking.


    However, there was something umon strapped on his back in a cloth. It was the bo-staff that he received from Lionel. He gave it to him, so he could train back home.


    Isaac began walking back home with slow movements. His limbs felt unnatural like they weren''t his.


    After walking for some time, Isaac stopped with the shade of his face changing rapidly. From the nearby convenience store, Oliver left with a group of his friends.


    Theirughter entered Isaac''s ears, which forced him to hide in the nearby alleyway. Theughter was identical to theughter of the men with ski masks.


    He covered his ears, trying to subdue the sound ofughter, but it felt like they were getting louder. Soon, Oliver and a group of ten young men walked past the alleyway.


    They were full ofughter.


    After they left, Isaac sighed and stopped covering his ears. He saw his trembling body and felt embarrassed.


    ''Even after all this time¡­ I don''t have enough guts to face them¡­''


    He shook his head and was about to leave the alleyway. However, then, a dark-gloved hand touched his shoulder, and a cold-blooded voice rang in his ears.


    "Give me your money, or die!"


    Isaac reacted to the demands immediately and kicked behind him. He felt his foot colliding with something feeble and weak.


    After turning around, he saw a man with dirtied face clutching his stomach with pain-filling looks.


    "Graaah!" Out of nowhere, he pulled out a pocket knife and shouted, "Not so tough anymore, hah?!"


    Isaac frowned and was about to grab his bo-staff. However, at that moment, a shadowy figure brushed past him and punched the face of the robber.


    The robber was sent flying several meters before he fell to the ground with an unconscious look.


    "Michael?" Isaac sighed and scratched the back of his head. He thought he could sense if he was being followed, but guess not.


    Michael broke the pocket knife in half and asked, "Young master, are you alright?"


    Isaac rolled his eyes and stepped out of the alleyway, "Take the robber to the police station before he hurts anyone else."


    "But, it''s my job to take you back home!" Michael tried to reason with him, "I can call my colleague to take him!"


    "I will be fine." Isaac looked him in the eye and showed his radiant gray eyes before looking away and continuing his walk home.

 Chapter 375 - Return to Colosseum

    Chapter 375 - Return to Colosseum.


    Isaac reached the neighborhood''s gate. His mind was still turbulent. The robber scene didn''t shake him much, but seeing Oliver with his group of friends did.


    That made him re-think many things. He would never be able to have his revenge without careful nning. Oliver was always with his friends, like a leech.


    Then, the gate opened, and Isaac entered the neighborhood.


    After walking down the streets, one of the gates opened, and a dog ran out. From the yard, a female scream followed.


    Isaac knelt down and saw the dog running toward him. Then, the dog began sniffing his clothes while he patted its head.


    He knew who owned this dog. From the yard, Rachel came with an anxious look. After seeing the dog, she finally felt relieved.


    "This bad boy always wants to go out." She said while rubbing her dog''s fur.


    Isaac chuckled and stood up, "Going somewhere?"


    "No,ing from somewhere." Rachel replied with a smile and then asked, "Do you want toe in for a coffee? I haven''t seen you for several weeks, and I felt lonely because of it."


    "Sure." Isaac shook his head at her childish demeanor. She smiled and led the way to their mansion.


    After entering through the front doors, Isaac saw the walls made of an oak tree and a beautiful chandelier hanging from the ceiling that illuminated the surroundings in warm colors.


    The light danced in the walls and showed both of their shadows. Then, there was the closed kitchen was pitch dark, andfy-looking living room.


    They removed their outdoor clothes and walked inside the living room. After Isaac sat down, Rachel went to the kitchen and made coffee beforeing back.


    The dog was sleeping on Isaac''sp, while he looked around the room and saw several framed pictures.


    "Here." Rachel put two cups on the table and sat down on afy-looking chair. Her beautiful face had a calm smile as she smelt the delicious scent of coffee wafting through her nose.


    Isaac took a quick sip and nodded with satisfaction.


    "Ah, right." Rachel''s face showed a sly smile, "I saw an interesting piece of news not long ago."


    "Oh?" Isaac looked at her.


    "Yeah, about you." She smiled, "Kissing with an adorable ck-haired girl."


    "Pfft!" Isaac spat out the coffee, and a few drops evennded on the dog''s fur, which woke him up with a jolt.


    Rachel covered her mouth and giggled, "Well, are you going to tell me about her?"


    Isaac crossed his arms and said, "Ahem¡­ Yeah¡­ Her name is Luna."


    "Luna¡­" Rachel closed her eyes and muttered that name in her mind, "She is your girlfriend?"


    "Yep," Isaac replied with a smile forming on his face.


    "I see¡­" Rachel slowly smiled and sighed, "You have grown¡­ Time flies by."


    "I think so¡­" Isaac looked at the smoking hot coffee and saw his reflection looking back at him.


    "I am d." She rubbed his hair and said, "I want to meet her¡­ The one who managed to capture legendary Isaac''s heart must be special."


    Isaac rolled his eyes, "Is it really that surprising?"


    "Yes!" She shouted with augh, "The number of heartbroken girls must not be a low amount. After all, they all felt hope after you stayed single for such a long time, but now¡­ Whew, I am scared to think about what might happen once schools re-open."


    Isaac wryly smiled.


    They continued drinking, and after the coffee was finished, they bid farewells, and Isaac left the mansion.


    Soon, he was back in his home. Then, Isabe rushed out of the living room, and before she could bomb him with questions, he spoke.


    "I am fine. The robber didn''t do anything, Michael made it in time, and I would have been able to run away."


    He rushed upstairs, leaving stunned Isabe behind.


    "Told you." Maxwell came from the kitchen with a cup of coffee, "Michael said that he was fine even if he wasn''t there. You need to have trust in him."


    Isabe opened her mouth, but no words came out. She went back to the living room with hundreds of thoughts assaulting her mind.


    ¡­


    After returning to the room, Isaac reced his clothes and took his bo-staff. He unwrapped it from the cloth.


    Then, he spun it around his hand and thought about the three techniques Lionel showed him. They were basic ones but valuable.


    "sh¡­ Thrust¡­ Deflect¡­"


    He jumped to his feet and moved the staff in front of him. Then, he began training the three moves.


    "sh¡­" He changed the grip on the staff and did a horizontal sh. The staff caused a sharp whistling sound to echo in the room as it brushed past the empty air.


    "Thrust¡­" Then, he pulled his staff back before pushing it forth. Again, the sharp whistling sound appeared, and the staff sent a powerful thrust forward.


    "Deflect¡­" In Isaac''s vision, a transparent figure appeared that resembled a lot of Lionel''s athletic figure. That illusionary figure sent a sh forward.


    But then, Isaac moved his staff to intercept the attack and did it sessfully. The side of his staff deflected the attack away and caused illusionary Lionel''s posture to be a mess.


    Then, the transparent figure vanished.


    ¡­


    The following day.


    Isaac had returned to Stronglord. He walked in the busy streets and earned a lot of looks from nearby yers. Whispers flew through the air andnded on his ear.


    He could hear their discussions being amount many things. One was about his previous stream, then a few shady-looking guys talked about his Resurrection Pearl and Teleportation Pearl.


    Both weren''t a secret anymore, and Isaac carefully scanned everyone that entered his path. Soon, he reached his destination.


    The enormous Colosseum''s shadow loomed over him. That''s right, he was going back there, and this time, he was going to stay there for a longer time.


    There were many who aimed for high-ranking positions, but not Isaac. He only wanted level up and rewards. But he wouldn''t mind if his ranking was high.


    His level rank was already in 400, and that made him instantly a pro yer. Being in the top 500 was a huge honor.

 Chapter 376 - Unexpected Opponent

    Chapter 376 - Unexpected Opponent.


    After Isaac stepped inside the Colosseum. There was the beautiful diator waiting for him, ready to take him to his VIP room. Once he was taken there, she bid farewells, and Isaac got seated on thefy couch.


    The holographic screen appeared out of nowhere.


    [Wee to Stronglord''s Colosseum!]


    [Arena Rankings]


    [Public Match]


    [Private Match]


    "Oh, there is the private match?" That made Isaac curious. He would rather fight privately because that allows him to hide his skills even a little bit.


    He pressed it.


    [Join]


    [Exit]


    "Join¡­" After pressing it, a loading screen appeared. Isaac leaned on the backrest and waited until the game found him a suitable opponent.


    [Loading¡­]


    DING! DING!


    Soon, a suitable opponent was found for him.


    [Zirfier - 4 W - 3 L]


    [Joining¡­]


    Everything around Isaac became blurry as his body was teleported to another ce. After everything became clear again, he was standing in the middle of an open room.


    The walls were in color ck, and the floor was pale white. On the opposite side of the room, his opponent with Swordsman ss was standing with a cold look painted on his face.


    There wasn''t any flicker of emotion on his face; instead pure ruthlessness.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Battle¡­ Begin!]


    Zirfier didn''t wait as he lunged forward. The sword swooshed around him, and a sharp whistling sound resounded throughout the room.


    Isaac pulled out his gun and was about to fire. But then, Zirfier began running in weird zig-zag movements. There was a shallow chance of actually hitting the mark if Isaac fired.


    After Zirfier seemed to be close enough, he sent a calm, yet deadly strike at Isaac''s torso. However, Isaac managed to deflect it away with the blunt side of his gun.


    Then, he spun the gun around and sent a thrust forward.


    Zirfier blocked the thrust with his sword''s de, however, then, Isaac pulled the trigger, and the bullet pushed the sword away alongside Zirfier''s entire body.


    He wobbled back, almost falling down to the floor. However, managed to stay standing, even though barely.


    ''What is that fighting style?'' Zirfier thought to himself with furrowed brows. The way the white-haired youth fought didn''t make any sense.


    Then, he activated his first skill.


    [Charge Used!]


    He charged forward with the sword ced in front of him.


    "Ptui!" Out of nowhere, Isaac spat out a ball of saliva that soon froze oncending on the ground. The floor in front of Zirfier froze over, and he identally stepped on it, which caused him to fall over!


    Thud!


    He crashed to the ground and became pale-faced instantly.


    Bang!


    Zirfier gritted his teeth and rolled out of the way. A bullet destroyed the thinyer of the ice.


    He managed to escape barely. He stood up, and his sword began to emit a weird glow.


    Zirfier''s red eyes were locked on Isaac''s body, and with a rageful sh, he did his second skill.


    [Cut of Room!]


    The floor was split in half, and soon the walls were divided. Isaac managed to dodge it barely, and then he saw the room recovering with speed visible to the eye.


    He quickly spun the gun around and sent another bullet toward Zirfier, who deflected it with the blunt side of the de. Then, he lunged forward and shed down.


    Isaac moved the gun in a sideways motion and deflected the sword. However, then, Zirfier pulled out another sword from his inventory and stabbed it forward.


    Spurt!


    The sword drilled through Isaac''s waist and nailed him to the ground. A mouthful of blue blood flew out of his mouth.


    Then, Zirfier raised his sword above him and shed it down!


    The battle seemed to conclude. There didn''t seem to be any way to dodge the deadly strike. However, then, Isaac''s eyes showed a star pattern.


    [Marksman of Space!]


    He disappeared and appeared on the ceiling. Then, he spun around and sent a flurry of bullets.


    Zirfier''s eyes shook, and he turned to look at the sound of a loud voice. Then, the bullets flew through his forehead, face, torso, and neck.


    With disbelief filling his face, he facented to the ground and died. However, since it was impossible to die in Colosseum, he was teleported to the resting room.


    [10000 XP Earned!]


    "Haaahh¡­" Isaac threw his gun back into his inventory and staggered toward the illusionary wheel. It was called The Wheel of Winner. It was slightly different from the other one.


    This wheel gave worse prizes because private matchescked a lot of difficulties that public matches had. Especially the nervous aspect of it.


    Isaac spun the wheel around, and it soon stopped in the color of white.


    [500 White Coins Acquired!]


    He shook his head with disappointment and was soon teleported to his VIP room.


    Without stopping even for a moment, he joined another private match. That continued for an hour until he had five victories under his belt with no losses.


    He was already top 180 in rankings and managed to increase his level by one.


    That was already a great achievement, but Isaac wasn''t done. He joined another private match, and this time, it kept loading for ten minutes until a potential opponent was found.


    After the name popped up, Isaac''s eyes shook.


    [Tobi - 12 W - 0 L]


    Without being able to react, he was already teleported to the room. On the opposite side of the room, Tobi appeared with a bow in his hand and a grin.


    "I heard that famous Wraith was participating in private matches¡­ Lucky me." He let out augh and then said, "No worries¡­ I won''t use potions. I want this fight to be fair!"


    Isaac''s eyebrow twitched, "I don''t mind if you use potions."


    "But, I do." Tobi pulled out several arrows and ced them on the bowstring, "I want this victory to be something I can be proud of."


    Isaac sighed and took out his sniper rifle. They waited as the countdown reached zero.


    [Battle¡­ Begins!]


    Whoosh!


    BANG!


    The bullet and arrow collided in the air, and both were smashed into smithereens.


    "Haai!" Tobi jumped across the air and sent several arrows. Their colors varied from a green color to brown.


    Isaac weaved through the arrows and jumped toward Tobi. Their eyes locked, and both of them used their first skills.


    [Toxic Arrow!]


    [Wraith''s Shot!]

 Chapter 377 - The Mosin-Nagants Strength

    Chapter 377 - The Mosin-Nagant''s Strength.


    Smash!


    Isaac smashed his gun into the toxic arrow and broke it apart. However, the weird green color began entering the weapon and spread toward him!


    However, then, a notification rang.


    [The Mythical Weapon Destroyed The Toxic!]


    The green color faded away.


    Tobi dodged the bullet and saw the green color fading away, ''''H-How?''''


    Isaded on the ground and quickly ran out of the way as several arrows stabbed his previous spot. He continued weaving around as Tobi''s arrows caused havoc.


    Then, the arrows began running out, and he had to take another quiver filled with arrows from the inventory.


    Isaac quickly spun around and fired. However, Tobi had already jumped away. Once hended on the ground, another quiver was already wrapped on his back.


    Then, he took out several green arrows and fired them.


    Isaac jumped over the arrows and smashed the gun down. Tobi''s face showed shock as he saw him actually attacking with such a brutal-looking attack. He ced the bow above him and was forced to kneel down once the attacknded.


    ''''Wow¡­ That attack sure packed a punch!'''' He let out a joyousugh and tried to sweep Isaac''s legs from underneath him. But, this time, he was prepared and jumped over Tobi.


    Then, he spun around and pushed his gun around with his finger on the trigger. Tobi quickly used his second skill.


    [Flying Archer!]


    Out of nowhere, a strong breeze of wind caused Tobi to be sent flying away. However, he managed to perfectly control himself in the air andnded on the ground smoothly.


    Isaac kept his distance and kept firing bullets. However, after flying the first bullet, the reload started.


    Tobi dodged the first bullet and saw Isaac''s worried look. He grinned and understood what it meant. He began firing arrows, but Isaac weaved through them.


    Then, Tobi strapped his bow on his back and bullet out a small-ded sword from his waist. He ran forward and sent a quick side sh.


    Isaac barely dodged it, but Tobi continued attacking madly. Every strike destroyed a portion of ground and wall. This was the effect of special stat Physique. It would allow them to grow their physical capabilities way beyond other sses.


    Isaac soon crashed to the floor and quickly rolled away before getting hammered down by Tobi''s strong attack. Then, a notification rang that told him his cooldown had reached zero.


    After Tobi rushed after him, he was already in shooting position and powerfully squeezed the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet left the barrel explosively.


    Tobi''s eyes shook, and he quickly tried to move out of the way, but the bullet drilled through his shoulder and caused his grip on the sword''s hilt to slip.


    Isaac jumped to his feet and pushed the gun forward. Tobi put his arms as a block and managed to stop him from getting pushed back.


    ''''You can''t defeat me with strength!'''' He shouted and grabbed the gun before yanking it away from Isaac''s hold.


    Tobi looked at the gun and grinned, ''''Like I said¡­''''


    However, then, Isaac grinned and extended his hand, ''''The Mosin-Nagant, return to me!''''


    The sniper rifle on Tobi''s hand began trying to free himself. However, he didn''t allow it to escape that easily.


    ''''No, you are now mine!'''' Tobi screamed and tried to keep a hold of the gun. However, then, the gun spun around, and the trigger was pulled back with invisible power.


    Bang!


    The bullet pierced through his forehead, and with blue blood dripping down, Tobi fell to the ground with mouth agape.


    The sniper rifle spun around the air before returning to Isaac''s hand.


    ''''Damn, I didn''t expect that.'''' Isaac wryly smiled and saw that he''d received 20000 XP.


    The Wheel of Winner appeared, and Isaac received nothing again. He shook his head and was teleported back to his VIP room.


    After getting seated on the couch, Isaac joined another match. Then, a short momentter, he achieved another three victories, pushing his win count to 10.


    After getting seated on the couch, Isaac joined another match. Then, a short momentter, he achieved another three victories, pushing his win count to 10.


    In the rankings, his name kept shing rapidly, and it was already 96th rank. The level also increased by one.


    ''''I am done here for now¡­'''' Isaac decided to leave for now. He achieved already two levels and reached the top 100 rankings. It could be called a very sessful day.


    Then, he left the room and walked in the bright corridors. The walls made of rock shook every time the audience screamed with excitement.


    Soon, he saw the end of the corridor. However, before that, a man draped in robes appeared on his path. Isaac tried to walk past him. But then, the robed man moved to intercept him.


    Isaac frowned, and his hand moved closer to his gun. Then, the hood of the man was blown away, and he could see a handsome man with a well-defined jawline and sharp cheekbones.


    His broad chest pushed the robes forward, and the clothing could barely hide his explosive muscles. There was a scabbard hanging from his hip with a strange-looking sword hilt popping up from the sheath.


    ''''What do you want?'''' Isaac asked and warily looked around him.


    ''''Easy there, young one,'''' Spartacus said and swiped his hand. It had a strange effect because Isaac''s wariness disappeared like it was never there.


    Isaac stepped back and touched his neck. He couldn''t tell what it was, but he was sure that the muscr man was far from ordinary.


    Spartacus folded his hands behind his back and asked, ''''If you could choose, would you want a de to decorate your weapon?''''


    Isaac frowned and looked at his sniper rifle. At the mention of the de, the gun trembled, like it wanted the de desperately. While Isaac couldn''t tell who the muscr man was, the Mosin-Nagant could.


    The Mosin-Nagant could tell that the de would increase the strength of Isaac''s tremendously. That''s why it kept vibrating, trying to tell his feelings to his host.


    ''''I¡­'''' Isaac looked at his gun and said, ''''Yes¡­ I would.''''


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Spartacus tapped his chin and nodded, ''''Very well.''''


    Isaac looked at him and saw him turning away and walking away.


    ''''Where are you going?'''' He asked but didn''t receive a reply, and the muscr man was soon gone once he entered the crowd.


    ''''What the hell was that?'''' Isaac scratched the back of his head. Then, he left the Colosseum and returned to his rented room, where he connected his spawn spot again.

 Chapter 378 - The Marksman Vs. The Hitman

    Chapter 378 - The Marksman Vs. The Hitman.


    After connecting the spawn spot to his bed, Isaac left the room and appeared in the training room with dark blue walls.


    He stopped in front of the floating translucent screens with different options. Then, he chose an illusionary weapon in the shape of a bo-staff. After taking it out, he walked to the center of the room and chose several opponents.


    The opponents were transparent with blue outlines. They were holding bo-staffs in their hands with a face void of any emotions.


    ''''Start!'''' Isaac shouted and lunged forward with the bo-staff ready to be struck down.


    The illusionary training partners rushed forward with different stances. They instantly attacked after reaching close enough distance.


    Isaac quickly spun the staff around and deflected the wooden staffs away with great strength. The training partners had obviously lower physical prowess than Isaac, and that caused a significant difference.


    Then, Isaac stabbed the staff forward, and once it was about to get blocked by another wooden staff, he did a flick of his wrist and changed trajectories enough to hit the illusionary figure in the shoulder.


    The strike had enough blunt force to cause the training partner to have his grip slip. The wooden staff fell to the floor, and he tried to stretch his hand forward to grab it. At that moment, Isaac moved across the room and sent a decisive strike at his nape.


    The first training partner vanished into pixels. Only two remained, and they instantly lunged forward with staffs already descending.


    Isaac spun around and put his staff above him. It blocked both attacks, and he instantly used his physical prowess to push the two training partners away. Then, he jumped over them while sending a smack to their heads.


    The two illusionary figures crashed on the floor and faded away from existence.


    Afternding on the ground, Isaac wiped his sweat and put the bo-staff back in its former ce. Then, he wiped his sweat-stained palms and logged out from the game.


    ¡­


    The following day.


    Isaac returned to the Colosseum and began fighting in the private matches. He fought for the whole day, and in the end, his win streak was 22-0, and his rank had reached the 29 rank!


    That was already too high for him to continue fighting in private matches. From 30 rank till 1, they were forced to fight in public matches because those were usually matches that would interest anyone.


    After arriving back in his VIP room, he joined the public match and began waiting for his match toe.


    Yesterday, he thought that the only way to enter Private Matches was to have a VIP room, but that would need legacy. In the end, he started researching and found out that everyone has the opportunity to enter a private match, they just have to talk to one of the diators, and they give the option.


    That made the VIP room much more valuable in Isaac''s eyes. He didn''t have to bother with talking and could only press a few buttons.


    Today''s winning streak allowed Isaac to increase his level by two. Now, he was at level 111, and it was rapidly rising.


    Beep! Beep!


    Then, the translucent screen in front of him beeped, and his opponent was shown.


    His opponent was ranked 22 and was part of the Hitman ss.


    Then, Isaac''s body slowly transformed into a floating pile of particles. Soon, his vision became dark, and he felt like he was swimming in the endless void of space.


    Then, a bright light appeared from the horizon, and his vision returned.


    After opening his eyes, he saw the packed Colosseum with a wide arena. He was currently standing in the middle of the enormous arena with his opponent, Hitman, standing some distance away.


    His hands were touching his two guns that were wrapped around his waistline.


    Then, one of the big doors appeared, and the beautiful woman who was always hosting the matches appeared.


    Her looks were cold as she gazed at the Hitman, but when her eyes locked with Isaac''s, her cheeks flushed, and a look of worship appeared.


    She shakily raised her right arm and said, ''''T-T-The battle¡­ Begins!''''


    After shouting, she quickly retreated some distance away. Her gaze still followed Isaac like it was her life''s only purpose.


    Bang! Bang!


    Hitman pulled out his pistols and began firing. The guns had a silver lining with a dragon-like symbol on the barrel.


    Isaac pulled out his gun from inventory and jumped out of the way as the bullets whooshed through the air.


    Hitman quickly changed the direction of his pistols and continued firing.


    Once Isaded on the ground, he jolted to the side and managed to dodge the endless rain of bullets.


    While watching the match, the beautiful diator clenched her fist until blood dripped down, ''That bastard¡­ How dare he keep shooting at my God?''


    Soon, Hitman''s cooldown arrived. He quickly changed magazines and saw that he had to wait for ten seconds before the cooldown ended.


    However, he was used to this. He knew how to survive the cooldown. It was to keep distance and try to stall time.


    After not hearing the sound of firing anymore, Isaac stopped running and spun his gun around, which soon pointed at Hitman, whose center of gravity was lower than before.


    Hitman was trying to anticipate the distance of the bullet and how fast it was. Then, he would dodge and do the same until the cooldown had ended.


    Bang!


    Isaac powerfully pulled the trigger and felt the recoil pushing his body down. The bullet left explosively and left a trail of smoke behind.


    It traveled across the sky and was almost instantly in front of the Hitman.


    ''''Haaahhh¡­'''' Hitman closed his eyes and took a step to the left. The bullet flew past him and drilled through the Colosseum''s rocky walls.


    Then, Hitman smiled as familiar beeping noise echoed throughout his mind. The cooldown had ended.


    He aimed at the white-haired youth, who was also preparing to shoot, and then he began firing!


    Bang! Bang!


    The arena was soon shrouded with endless barrages of bullets. The audience members covered their ears as the loud deafening sound echoed in the arena.

 Chapter 379 - lmmortal

    Chapter 379 - lmmortal.


    ''''Shit!'''' Isaac saw that his chamber was empty, and the cooldown started. There was an endless shower of bulletsing straight toward him, and there didn''t seem to be any possible way of dodging it.


    Then, his eyes showed a beautiful star pattern, and he disappeared into particles of stars.


    Hitman narrowed his eyes and scanned the area thoroughly. Then, he saw a figure appear in the other part of the arena. He quickly shifted his aim and powerfully kept pressing the triggers.


    Bang! Bang!


    After unleashing another hell on earth, the magazines were again empty, and he had to wait for the cooldown to end.


    Isaac tried to weave through the bullets, but several drilled through his limbs and caused a giant leap of drop in his Health Bar. A trail of blue blood trailed down from the corner of his mouth.


    He saw Hitman had stopped firing. He was again back in his low-gravity stance.


    ''Damn¡­ Such an annoying opponent!''


    Hitman''s n was simple. Empty his magazines as fast as possible and hope his bullets hit. Then, when the cooldown arrived, he would keep his distance and stall time. That was precisely what he was doing, and it was an annoying tactic to fight against.


    ''I need to cross the distance¡­ I can''t win via long-range.'' Isaac exploded into motion and began running toward Hitman.


    The Hitman noticed it instantly and turned around to run away.


    That caused Isaac''s veins to pop up around his forehead, ''God damn it, such coward!''


    While running, he aimed with his gun and began firing. However, Hitman instantly turned directions after hearing the sound of the gun firing. Then, Isaac tried to use icy shots because their sound was quieter.


    However, Hitman still changed directions and dodged the icy bullets. Then, his cooldown ended.


    He turned around with his fingers ced on the trigger. His mouth stretched slightly as a disgusting grin appeared.


    Isaac was only twenty meters away from him, and it seemed like a distance that was too short.


    His eyes shook, and he tried to move out of the way. Then, the bullets left the two barrels and drilled through Isaac''s body from multiple parts.


    The Health Bar fell like a meteor, and soon, it waspletely empty with only one line of green left.


    [HP: 1/1060]


    [White Death Activated!]


    ''''Grah!'''' Isaac let out a strained roar and instantly lunged toward the Hitman, whose face had gone pale.


    ''''I see¡­ This is the legendary immortal Wraith.'''' The Hitman''s hands slightly trembled, but he was prepared for this moment.


    During the White Death, Isaac was also quicker and more focused. Instantly when the Hitman put his finger on the trigger, he was already zig-zagging.


    The Hitman tried to aim, but the movements were too erratic to sessfully hit his target. Then, he changed ns and jumped away.


    A big part of stats was ced on Agility and Stamina.


    He could keep dodging and weaving endlessly.


    Isaac put his gun in the firing position and began firing icy shots. He aimed it at the path that the Hitman could take.


    However, the Hitman''s instincts started running in overdrive. He could instantly tell something was wrong, and he immediately jumped away. Then, he saw the iceyer appear on his path.


    If he kept running, he would have slipped over and possibly died.


    The Hitman couldn''t help but smile, ''I can do this, I can win!''


    At the start of the match, he wasn''t that confident. After all, Wraith was widely known as immortal, and how could anyone win against that?


    The Hitman spun around and saw the white-haired youth running toward him. Isaac obviously wasn''t expecting him to attack again and thought he would continue running away.


    ''''Bye!'''' The fingers were pulled to the end, and another rain of bullets left the barrels.


    Isaac''s pupils dted, and he entered his hyper-focused state. He began weaving past the bullets. However, several bullets managed tond on his legs, which reduced his speed by a great amount.


    In the end, he couldn''t keep on dodging, and several bullets drilled through his face and caused it to explode!


    ''''NO!'''' The beautiful diator shockingly screamed. However, it was muffled under the loud gun firing noises.


    The Hitman''s mouth curved upward, ''''Hahaha, I won!''''


    The yers watching were bbergasted. Their recording equipment was already running, and they thought that this was it. Wraith was defeated!


    The audience members covered their ears after the gore example.


    Isaac slowly fell to the ground with his head missing. Everything on his screen beeped with red colors, and everything started to turn dark.


    With regrets filling up his insides, Isaac slowly fell unconscious.


    The Hitman raised his arm and shouted, ''''I am the winner!''''


    The beautiful diator gritted her teeth and didn''t want to announce him as the winner. However, words echoed in her mind that told her to announce it.


    She gritted her teeth and opened her mouth. However, then, her eyes shook, and a beautiful smile appeared on her already gorgeous face.


    ''''Hmm?'''' The Hitman felt his heart pounding at her smiling face but wondered what caused her to smile that way.


    Then, footsteps rang behind him. The Hitman''s heart stopped for a moment, and he slowly turned around.


    In front of him was the headless Wraith, whose head was slowly getting regenerated. For some reason, his eyes were white and emotionless.


    ''''Eh, h-h-how is this possible?!''''


    Isaac took a step forward, forcing the Hitman to take up arms again. He aimed and began firing.


    Then, the white-haired youth disappeared and appeared behind the Hitman with a simrly emotionless face.


    There was something hidden in the depths of Isaac''s eyes, something unnatural and amazing. His consciousness was lost, and he was controlled by something that had taken a nest inside his heart and brain.


    The Hitman turned around with eyes showing a clear fear. Then, Isaac''s hand moved and grabbed the Hitman from the throat.


    ''''Ugh!'''' The Hitman couldn''t breathe, and he felt like his throat was getting crushed. In front of him, hundreds of danger signals began appearing, telling him to log out immediately!


    However, he didn''t manage it in time as Isaac smashed his face into the grainy ground. The floor cracked and got destroyed.


    The Hitman''s HP went from 1000 to 0 with one strike. His body stopped twitching, and he was teleported away from the arena.

    Chapter 380 - Revenge (1)


    ''''Winner is Wraith!'''' The beautiful diator announced with a thrilled look. Her eyes showed endless obsession and happiness.


    ''''Eh?'''' Then, some signs of emotion became visible in Isaac''s eyes as he jolted awake. His white eyes turned gray.


    ''''What¡­ Happened?'''' He looked around him and couldn''t see his opponent anywhere.


    ''''Where is he?''''


    ''''Did he give up?''''


    The yers, and the audience, that witnessed it, felt utter disbelief.


    Many felt depressed knowing that there was someone like Wraith in the game. Immortal and unbeatable.


    The beautiful diator hopped toward him and stopped only two meters away. She had to because the scent of the white-haired young man made her legs weak and light-headed.


    She sniffed the air, trying to inhale more of that delicious scent.


    Then, a Wheel of Victory descended from the sky and stopped in front of Isaac.


    ''''Right¡­'''' He took a deep breath and grabbed the wheel''s handle. Isaac hoped to receive something that would help him in the long term. Then, he spun it around, and the words became unreadable.


    The colors shed, and the wheel hummed as it slowly slowed down.


    After several moments, the wheel was stopped entirely.


    Isaac''s eyes shook, and the audience looked confused.


    The beautiful diator shouted, ''''The reward is Resin of Dreams!''''


    [Resin of Dreams Acquired!]


    Isaac clenched his fist and screamed internally. While the audience and yers were confused about what it was, he knew exactly how important it was.


    It was perhaps the best reward he could ask for!


    Only three ingredients were needed for Dream Potion, and then he could cure both his and Luna''s illness!


    ''''Thanks,'''' Isaac said while receiving his reward. The beautiful diator, who heard the words of gratitude, held her chest and felt like she could now die as a happy woman.


    After receiving his reward, Isaac was teleported away. Then, he sneaked out of the winner''s room and left the Colosseum.


    There were several yers that tried to find him but couldn''t.


    Soon, Isaac was back in his rented residence, and he immediately logged off.


    ¡­


    After waking up in real-life, Isaac took out the headset and ced it on the box. Then, he took it to the wardrobe and went to his desk.


    He grabbed an empty notebook from his locked cab and took a pencil from his pencil case. Then, he began writing.


    This time, he didn''t write about what he did today; instead, about the n of his revenge.


    It was time for him to finally end his fear. It was time for him to get his revenge on Oliver and his group of friends.


    Isaac heard from Amanda that Oliver had gotten bolder, even though she obviously didn''t want to meet him. He also was getting angrier and was seen hanging out in Red Light District.


    His reputation in the eyes of Amanda has never been lower. She thought that he was a disgusting person who had only one thing in his mind.


    Many were worried about what Oliver might do once the school re-open. But, Isaac never nned to allow him to enter school ever again.


    He forced him to stop the school. Isaac nned to do the same to him. It was difficult because Oliver didn''t have overprotective parents that would force him to stay at home.


    ''''I can''t defeat them all¡­'''' Isaac mulled over hisck of strength. He knew what he should do to make everyone hate Oliver, but he would still need to defeat them, but he didn''t have the power to do that.


    ''''Power¡­ Wait¡­'''' Then, Isaac had dawn of realization, ''''I can''t defeat them¡­ But, what if I can?''''


    Isaac''s gaze lingered in the direction of the wardrobe, and his mouth curved upward, ''''That''s right¡­ I am not strong enough, but my avatar is!''''


    ''''I can teleport to real-life using Teleportation Pearl¡­'''' Then, another problem arose, ''''The problem is the time limit. Not sure how long I canst with Mythical since I could onlyst 10 minutes with Bronze¡­''''


    ''''It should be at least a few hours¡ª that should be enough.'''' Isaac nodded and started writing in the notebook. He did the final preparations.


    ¡­


    The following day.


    Isaac was packing up his backpack, which was soon crammed with items. There was the bo-staff, bandaids, medical equipment, and everything that would be needed if he got hurt.


    Then, he took out a nket from the wardrobe and tied them to each other. Soon, a long rope was made from them.


    He opened the window that faced the backyard. Then, he dropped the rope made from nkets and climbed down.


    Once his feetnded on the snowy ground, he looked around warily and didn''t see anyone. Then, he jumped over a smaller fence and saw a forest some distance away.


    He ran inside the forest and continued running in the soft snow. His winter boots got buried in the snow, but he didn''t stop running.


    Soon, he entered the edge of the forest and saw another neighborhood at the bottom of the slope. This neighborhood was where middle-ss families lived.


    Isaac ran down the slope and soon appeared in the streets. The yards were bustling with families cleaning the excess snow.


    Soon, Isaac stopped in front of a house.


    From the outside, the house looked intimate and cozy. It was built with white bricks.


    Small square-shaped windows let in plenty of light that has been added to the house in a very asymmetrical way.


    The house was equipped with a modern kitchen and onerge bathroom. It also had a spacious living room, three bedrooms, a roomy dining room, a cozy office-like room, and a garage.


    The roof was triangr shaped and built with ck-colored tiles, and the house itself was surrounded by a modest garden, mostly covered in snow, and a children''s yground.


    Isaac stopped in front of the door and knocked several times. Soon, slow footsteps rang in the room, and then, a sleepy-looking middle-aged woman appeared while wearing a nightgown with droopy-looking eyes.


    ''''Who is it¡­?'''' She asked with a sleepy tone.


    ''''Nice to see you again, aunt Kira.'''' Isaac smiled handsomely.

 Chapter 381 Revenge (2)

    <h4>Chapter 381 Revenge (2)</h4>


    Kira widened her eyes in shock after the voice entered her ears. She saw the white-haired youth''s gray eyes looking at her.


    Instantly, she wrapped him in a hug with sleepiness long gone, "It''s been so long; how are you?"


    Her voice shook a little bit, and she felt slightly emotional. It had been a long time since she met with the white-haired youth since he used to be his son''s friend, but everything changed after the incident.


    ? ?? ??-?? ???. ??? "I am doing good¡­" Isaac returned the hug, then asked, "Is Andy here?"


    "He is in his room, ying games like always." Kira smiled after knowing that he hade to meet his son, Andy.


    Isaac nodded, "Can Ie in..?"


    "Of course." Kira let him in and watched as he slipped out of his boots and slowly walked upstairs.


    "Need a drink? We have soda if you want!" Kira shouted after him and received a smile and nod from Isaac.


    She quickly went to the kitchen and took a deep breath. With a smile, she took out a ss and a bottle of soda.


    Isaac entered the second floor and stopped in front of Andy''s room. He didn''t knock, instead opened the door and stepped inside the messy-looking room.


    In there, a slightly obese-looking young man with messy hair was lying on the bed with VR Helmet on his head.


    The floors were stained with broken chip crumbs, and clothes littered around. The TV screen was slightly broken, and bookshelves were filled with different kinds of magazines.


    Isaac sat next to the bed and leaned closer to Andy''s ear.


    "Andy, wake up." He whispered with enough volume for him to hear.


    Beep! Beep!


    The visor beeped, and the obese-looking young man sat up in a hurry. Andy took off the helmet, and his chubby-looking face appeared.


    "I-I-Isaac!" His voice shook, and he slowly retreated to the edge of the bed frame.


    Isaac stood up and asked coldly, "Where is Oliver?"


    Andy shook his head with fear-filling his face, "I don''t know!"


    "Don''t lie to me!" Isaac snapped and grabbed Andy from his cor, "I know you still hang out with him. I saw you leaving a convenience store with him the other day!"


    Andy gulped with visible fear on his face. He wasn''t fearful of Isaac instead of his family and the power they have. With one phone call, he could end up in jail or, much worse.


    "Isaac¡­ Whatever you are nning, don''t do it, or you will die with regrets!" He tried to use threat tactics and really hoped it would work.


    "Oliver told us that you met him not long ago, and I have a hunch why you are looking for him, but drop it and go wank off in your castle of loneliness!"


    He expected Isaac to grow mad, but instead, he smiled. The smile caused shivers to run on his back, and he knew that something was very wrong.


    Isaac stopped grabbing the cor and slid the backpack out from his back. Then, he unzipped it and took out a bo-staff.


    Andy paled and covered his face.


    However, then, Isaac swung the bo-staff down and smashed the VR Helmet in half!


    "NOOO!" Andy screamed and tried to push Isaac away. However, the bo-staff changed trajectories and smashed right into his face.


    Spurt!


    Blood gushed out of his nose and mouth as he crashed to the floor.


    Isaac mounted him and crammed the wooden end of the bo-staff into his mouth, "Where does Oliver spend his time? Tell me, and I will buy a new helmet for you."<del></del>


    Andy shakily nodded. He grew to understand how crazy Isaac had be!


    He wasn''t the same person as he used to be, and there was a weird power in every movement of his. Today''s Isaac was genuinely strong.


    Isaac removed the staff from his mouth.


    "In Red Light District!" Andy instantly revealed with bloodied teeth showing, "I thought it was weird for him to visit there so often because he is infatuated with Amanda, but it looks like he had given up!"


    "Where?"


    Andy gulped and answered, "I once went with him there and went to a small building called Love Maria."


    "What is he doing there?"


    Andy bit his lip and answered, "Normal stuff, a beautiful woman dances there, and we go there to admire it."


    "The lead dancer also has some striking resemnces with Amanda, so it isn''t a surprise that Oliver goes there."


    Isaac nodded and asked, "Does he buy for prostitution?"


    Andy shakily shook his head, "No, of course not! He isn''t stupid. Prostitution is banned in Snowstar¡ª anyone who got caught selling or buying will end up in jail for the rest of their lives."


    "No one with brains would do it!"


    "Thought so." Isaac stood up and said, "VR Helmet will arrive tomorrow."


    Andy began rubbing his painful neck and saw Isaac leaving.


    However, before he could leave, Andy said, "Oliver is always with his friends, ALWAYS, they will kill you if you go there!"


    "You have no idea the amount of hatred Oliver possesses. You didn''t steal his love once, but twice!"


    "He also heard about your ck-haired girlfriend. Everyone has!"


    "He had been looking for her, and it''s a matter of time before he finds her, and you know him, it won''t end well for her!"


    Isaac turned around with blood-red eyes, "I don''t care if you tell Oliver I visited you. I want him to know¡­ Also, tell him that I will being for him, which will be the end of his."


    Andy stood up with trembling limbs and shouted, "Aren''t you curious why his friends joined him?!"


    "I already know." Isaac suddenly said.


    Andy looked surprised.


    "It''s because their crushes and lovers talked with me that one day, isn''t that right?"


    Andy''s widened in surprise. It was precisely correct.


    "That day¡­ I went to the cafeteria and got seated at an empty table. Then, It got crowded very quickly."


    "Everyone was females with weird white robes draped over them and their faces exposed."


    "They were part of that weird Cult of something, and for some reason, they revealed themselves."


    "Pictures got spread, and many of their lovers and crushes were part of that Cult. They thought they cheated them with me¡­"


    "Was I right?"


    Andy nodded and slumped down on the bed. Everything Isaac said was correct. It also made him think about how much did Isaac know about them and how much did he n to finally seed in his revenge¡­

 Chapter 382 Revenge (3)

    <h4>Chapter 382 Revenge (3)</h4>


    "The only reason you aren''t bleeding on the floor is because you weren''t part of the group that attacked me."


    "However, you knew about it, and that makes you my enemy."


    Andy gritted his teeth and shouted, "What should I have done? Without them, I would be nothing!"


    Isaac turned around. His eyes were hazy and unfocused. Then, he stepped out of the room and left.


    Andy clenched his fist and looked toward his phone. He grabbed it and opened a messaging app. However, when his fingers were about to type, he closed the phone and smashed it into the wall!


    Crack!


    "Fuck!"


    ¡­


    After Isaac drank the soda served by Kira, he excused himself and left the building toward his next destination.


    This time, it was the dojo.


    After reaching it, he was led to Lionel''s private training room, and they began training.


    After the sparring match, both were drenched in sweat, and Lionel looked amazed.


    "You have learned so much in only a day." He helped Isaac to stand up, who was again assaulted by a sharp pain.


    Isaac wryly smiled. Then, they took out bottles of water and gulped them down.


    Once their discussions died down, Isaac spoke with a serious look.


    "I will make a move on Oliver. Soon, my revenge will bepleted."


    Lionel''s eyes widened in shock, "You aren''t ready!"


    Isaac dropped his gaze and saw his trembling hands, "I have a n¡­"


    "Doesn''t matter. You really aren''t ready!" Lionel tried to stop his friend from doing anything rash that would make him regret it. He was certain that Isaac could get his revenge in six months'' time.


    He only needed to focus on his training, and no one could be his match in the future. However, it looked like Isaac was bing impatient.


    "I might not be¡­" Isaac sighed and looked him in the eye. His gray eyes showed a beautiful reflection, and his face had a confident smile.


    "But, I can do this¡­ I know I can!"


    Lionel dropped his staff and wiped his sweat. He took a deep breath, trying to rx his mind, and then he asked.


    "When are you going to do it?"


    "Tomorrow."


    Lionel''s calm facade cracked, and his emotions were a mess, "Tomorrow¡­ That''s¡­"


    "I know." Isaac stood up and repeated, "I know."


    "But, with him still out there, I will always be a coward."


    Lionel looked at him in a new light. He mainly had thought that Isaac was a very protected individual, and because of that, he would be weak and unreliable.


    However, now, he had to admit that Isaac showed that he was powerful in his own right. Now, he resembled much more of Marvin than ever before.


    Lionel patted his shoulder and said, "Good luck¡­"


    Isaac nodded and left the private room with a towel on his shoulder.<del></del>


    "Be careful¡­" Lionel murmured with closed eyes. Tomorrow, Snowstar might be different than before.


    ¡­


    The next day.


    After a shimmer of light seeped through the narrow openings of the curtains, Isaac woke up with a heavy body. There was an unspeakable amount of tension within his muscles and mind.


    Today, his life would take a turn to be better or worse.


    He stood up and went to take a shower. After that, he put on his clothes and took out the box.


    ? ?? ??-?? ???. ??? Then, he wrapped the headset around his head, and hey down on the bed.


    Soon, his consciousness was transferred to his avatar.


    ¡­


    "Haahhh¡­" Isaac opened his mouth with a rxed breath. The calm scent of summer tickled his nostrils, and his vision was covered with a white ceiling.


    After sitting up, he slowly opened his inventory and took out a light green-colored Pearl.


    "This is it¡­" Isaac took another deep breath and calmly closed his eyes.


    In his mind, an image of his real-life room became visible. Then, his mouth moved up and down slowly.


    "My room¡­"


    The teleportation pearl shone brilliantly, and his whole body was teleported away. His consciousness traveled across multiple realms and worlds.


    His vision showed different scenery and worlds. Then, he heard voices of Gods echoing in his mind, and a few gazes were locked on him.


    The gazes weren''t hostile. Instead, friendly and loving.


    Soon, his body regained its feelings and senses. Isaac''s eyelids trembled; soon, his gray eyes were wide open, and he saw his spacious room.


    In the bed, his real-life self was sleeping with a skinsuit tightly, hugging his body. Then, Isaac took off his avatar''s clothes and put something more casual on.


    He still had to look like he was from this world.


    After putting new garments on, he stored his Camouge Outfit in his inventory. Then, he took another look at his sleeping self.


    Afterward, he took his bag from underneath the bed and opened the window. There was again the rope made from nkets in his hand, which he dropped out of the window.


    He used it to climb down, but while halfway done, he remembered his avatar''s physical prowess. He removed his hands and dropped to the ground.


    His feet softlynded on the ground, and there wasn''t even a tinge of pain visible.


    He grabbed the nket and threw it back to his room''s windows, and itnded perfectly on top of his desk.


    Then, he hopped over the fence and ran to the forest. Instantly, his speed seemed unnatural and impossible to be performed within the human body.


    Once entering the forest, his feet barely touched the snow piles as he basically ran on top of it. His body sprinted across the woods like a cheetah, and he could only see the blurry trees going past him as he soon reached the end of the forest.


    He again entered the neighborhood for middle-ss people and continued walking in the streets. He went past aunt Kira''s and Andy''s house and soon left the area.


    After looking around him and seeing that no one was nearby, he jumped on top of a building with a triangr-shaped roof. He didn''t know how long his time limit was and had to hurry because of it.


    That''s why he began jumping on top of the roofs, and soon, he arrived in the Red Light District.

 Chapter 383 Revenge (4)

    <h4>Chapter 383 Revenge (4)</h4>


    Beautiful women were standing outside the buildings, trying to attract customers with their looks and sweet voices.


    There were several that seeded in doing so, few men with suits were reeled inside the buildings, and they looked rather shy to be surrounded by so many beautiful women.


    On top of one of the buildings, Isaac was scanning the streets, looking for anyone that resembled Oliver or his friends.


    Soon, the sky got darker, and the streetmps illuminated the streets. Isaac kept ncing at the clock and was nervous that his body might soon get teleported away.


    When his thoughts were bing negative, he saw a group of young men entering the Red Light District. Leading them was Oliver,ughing with his friends while giving horny looks at the nearby women.


    The women, of course, looked disgusted.


    ? ?? ??-??? ??, ??? Oliver and his friends onlyughed and continued roaming the streets.


    Isaac took out a floating camera and began recording. Then, he moved it to float in the empty sky while he dropped down from the building and softlynded on the pavement of a dark alleyway.


    Soon, Oliver and his friends walked past the alleyway.


    Then, Isaac stepped out from the shadows and looked at their retreating back.


    "Oliver," Isaac spoke with loud enough volume for Oliver and his friends to hear.


    Oliver''s body flinched, and he quickly turned around. His eyes showed a split-second shock until they became rageful and hateful.


    His friends looked shocked, and theirughter died down.


    "What are you doing here?" Oliver took a step forward. Tried to scare Isaac away, but it didn''t have the desired result.


    Isaac didn''t even blink, let alone flinch!


    "Hahaha¡­" Oliver suddenlyughed and asked, "You came here to have fun? Does your girlfriend know?"


    After the word "girlfriend" was mentioned, Oliver licked his lips, obviously trying to taunt Isaac into attacking him, so they had a good reason for beating him up.


    "I actually came here to have fun." Out of nowhere, Isaac admitted that it shocked both Oliver and his group of friends.


    Then, Oliver''s mouth opened, and his face changed shades until it was in the color red. After his taunting didn''t work, he tried another method.


    However, at that moment, Isaac, with one step, appeared in front of Oliver and grabbed his cor.


    His friends widened in shock after seeing Isaac''s speed!


    Oliver''s eyes widened in shock, trying to remove Isaac''s hand. But, before that, Isaac mmed him into the brick wall and threw him inside the dark alleyway.


    Oliver spat out a mouthful of saliva and clutched his stomach in pain.


    "See, I am having fun!" Isaac shouted.


    "Hands off him, you fucker!" His friends ran toward him with their fists raised. When their fists were unleashed, Isaac simply jumped over them and softlynded on the ground with no flicker of emotion visible.


    "How?!" Oliver''s friends screamed in shock. Nothing made any sense, and the way Isaac moved made them think about White Online, where they could also move like that!


    Then, a footstep rang from the streets, and a tall 190cm young man appeared with a panting face.


    "What happened?!" Luke shouted and saw his friend Oliver slowly standing up with a pained look.


    "This bastard attacked us!" His friends shouted and pointed at Isaac.


    Luke''s eyes shook as he finally saw Isaac, then, a hateful look appeared, and he punched.


    "How dare you!"


    The punch was effortlessly dodged by Isaac, who then grabbed his face and mmed it into the brick wall.


    Crack!


    Luke''s nose broke with broken teeth ttering against the pavement. His eyes turned white as he was knocked out with a swift strike.


    His friends looked like they were seeing a real horror film happening right before their eyes!


    "Why are you attacking us?!" One of them shouted with a fearful look. The fear took over his reasoning, and they all knew why Isaac was targeting them.


    "I know it was you all who attacked me back then. The day of my incident was when I got attacked by you guys, isn''t that right?!"


    They looked shocked as they now realized they had been exposed. They looked at each other and nodded. Sneakily, they grabbed everything they could get their hands on and prepared to kill Isaac, no matter how!


    Oliver spat out the rest of the blood and shouted, "So what, now that you are a little strong, you think you can defeat us and get your revenge?!"


    "Then, we will only have to find your girlfriend and make her suffer!"


    "There is no way this revenge of yours will give you the satisfaction you seek!"


    In the sky above the alleyway, the floating camera recorded everything that had just transpired. Oliver''s confession was downloaded into the hard drive, and the scene of the young men nning to kill Isaac was also recorded with 4k.


    Isaac stopped talking and looked at the young men. Then, they showed their weapons¡ª pieces of broken ss, metal tubes, and sharp-looking items.


    Their eyes showed clear killing intent, and they were ready to do anything to kill the white-haired brat.


    Oliver pulled out a pocket knife from his back pocket and shouted, "KILL HIM!"


    They lunged forward. Over ten strong-looking athletic youths attacked a single white-haired man.


    Then, Isaac reeled in his fist and lunged forward while screaming his heart out, "HAAAAAH!"


    Smack!


    The first fist smashed a brown-haired face until it was unrecognizable.


    Then, Isaac grabbed a metal tube and snapped it in half while sending a powerful kick at his attacker''s neck, who got smashed to the floor with an unconscious look.


    After that, several sharp-looking items were thrown at him. However, Isaac quickly crouched and swept their legs from under them.


    Four or five young men fell to their backs with pain filling every part of their body.


    Bam!


    Then, a metal pipe struck Isaac in the head, and a ck-haired young man grinned viciously, who managed to get the first hit. However, then, he saw Isaac''s blood-red eyes.


    SMACK!


    Isaac smashed his fist into the ck-haired young man''s face and sent him flying to the brick wall.


    CRACK!


    Something broke within his body as he lifelessly fell to the ground.


    Oliver, who was still hiding behind his friends, looked fearful. His friends were slowly getting defeated, and his pocket knife seemed insignificant in front of rageful Isaac, whose eyes had never left his figure.

    <h4>Chapter 384 VideoKing.</h4>


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac walked past the fallen bodies of rugged-looking, bloodied young men. Surrounding him were close to ten beaten-up former ssmates of his.


    Only one was still standing, Oliver. His hand that held the pocket knife trembled ufortably, and he kept backing off with cold sweat pouring down his back.


    ''T-This is impossible¡­'' His eyes swam, trying to find a way out. However, Isaac walked over the young men and kept trekking toward him with coldness oozing out from the depths of his gray eyes.


    ''He is weak¡­ Weak!'' Oliver''s grip tightened, and he prepared to lung forward, slice Isaac''s gut open, and watch as he bled dry.


    However, then, sirens rang in the street, and several police cars stopped in front of the alleyway. Behind them were pale-looking citizens, holding their cellphones. They called for police after the loud sound of fighting echoed from there.


    Oliver''s friends shakily stood up with their bloodied bodies and ragged clothes. They quickly ran out of the alleyway. Instantly, the policemen left the cars and ran after them while shouting for them to stop.


    Oliver saw this as his chance. He saw Isaac''s focus shifting to the police cars. He instantly spun around and began running in the dark alleyway. There was another exit only several dozen meters away from him.


    Isaac turned around in haste and saw a silhouette of Oliver running away.


    ''''No, you won''t!'''' There was a policemaning straight toward him. But, under his shocked eyes, Isaac burst into motion and moved faster than any human had ever.


    The policeman stopped with disbelief filtering his face, ''''That''s¡­ Not possible!''''


    Soon, Isaac reached Oliver, and his fingertips stretched forward. He was only an inch away from grabbing his cor and yanking it back. But then, his feet halted as he felt cold spreading in his body.


    He dropped his gaze and saw the tips of his toes slowly disappearing, ''''No!''''


    While running, Oliver turned his head halfway and saw that Isaac had finally stopped running. He instantly thought he was too exhausted after the fighting.


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' Oliver''s tauntingugh echoed in the cramped alleyway, ''''If you step out of your house ever again or tell anyone what happened back then, you are a dead meat!''''


    With those words, he finally exited the alleyway and soon disappeared into the crowd of departing citizens.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and fell to his knees, ''''This isn''t over¡­''''


    The floating camera descended from the sky and stopped before him.


    Isaac stopped the recording and sent the video to hisptop. Then, everything became dark, and he disappeared.


    ? ?? ??-??? ??, ??? ¡­


    Isaac reappeared in the World of White. However, he didn''t stay there dwindling around, instead logged out and woke up with a headset surrounding his vision.


    He took it off, ced it on the box, and hid it in the wardrobe. Then, he went to take a shower to wash the cold sweat away.


    During the shower, he saw his faint reflection in the shower closure. The memories of his battle with the young men made his legs weak andzy.


    After turning off the shower, he sat on the wet floor and tried calming his thoughts.


    ''''Right¡­ the video¡­'''' Isaac finally stood up after going over his thoughts for close to five minutes. He wiped his body with the towel and took a new garment from the wardrobe.


    Then, he went to his desk, where his openptop was already humming.


    He instantly went to the video editing program and re-watched the whole ordeal. It captured everything from Oliver''s confession to the young men''s intention of killing him.


    He edited a few parts and increased the volume of Oliver''s confession. Then, he also zoomed in on the young men for everyone to see clearly that they were indeed picking up lethal items.


    After doing that, Isaac went to the VideoKing tform. It was the sister tform of StreamKing, and the streamers of that tform usually uploaded their videos to VideoKing.


    It was a mutual agreement between the two websites. They are basically controlling the marker with each other.


    I logged in to my alt-ount. The reason was that Wraith was a famous alias, and it wouldn''t be wise to spread it with that, even though the video would get more famous rapidly.


    However, he only needed a selected few to see it.


    After I was only a mouse click away from uploading, I had second thoughts. Then, Ipletely closed the browser and scratched my head with irritation.


    ''''I can''t publish it yet¡­ Maybe with better evidence, so they will be jailed.''''


    ''''Knowing them, they will attack everyone close to me out of despair.''''


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' A long frustration-filled sigh left his mouth, ''''Only way to get rid of them is to record them doing a criminal deed¡­ And, I might have a n for that.''''


    m!


    He mmed theptop shut, and the light dancing in the ceiling turned brighter.


    ¡­


    The following day.


    Isaac stood outside while clothed in winter attire. In front of him was a gray-colored car belonging to Michael.


    Then, the door opened, and Isabe came with an edgy look.


    Isaac opened the door, about to enter, then Isabe opened her mouth.


    ''''Bring Luna to visit us one day. I would love that.''''


    Isaac turned his body around with a surprised look, ''''Ah¡­ Mm, sure.''''


    Isabe smiled and gave a peck on the cheek. Then, she returned indoors.


    Isaac got seated in the backseat, the driver, Michael, turned the engine on, and the car soon left the yard.


    They started their journey to Snowflower residence. They had enough wealth to live in the same neighborhood as Isaac, but they liked a more humble lifestyle.


    It was mainly because Sin wasn''t born with a silver spoon, instead was from a very humble household. In the end, Mariah also grew to love their current lifestyle, which was far from what she had used to when she still lived with her father.


    Soon, they left the neighborhood, and the car roamed the streets. The weather was getting colder after October passed, and November dawned.


    The car turned left and entered a humble-looking neighborhood. The houses were mostly two-floor with small yards and no backyards.

 Chapter 385 lnferior South Players

    Chapter 385 - lnferior South yers.


    The car stopped right in front of Snowflower house''s yard. Then, the door in the backseat opened, and Isaac left the vehicle.


    Once he saw the house, it looked intimate and warm. The windows were draped over by curtains, which didn''t allow him to see inside.


    However, the house was big enough to have several rooms. It had a semi-spacious living room, modern kitchen, semirge bathroom, and three bedrooms.


    There was also an office-like room on the second floor, often used by Sin.


    The roof was triangr-shaped, with ck tiles slightly nted to the left. A tiny chimney poked out of the center of the roof.


    A firece in the living room was flickering with fiery mes, sending a wave of warmth everywhere in the house.


    Michael slightly opened the car window and poked his head out, ''''Call me when you are ready to be picked up. I will be here instantly.''''


    Isaac turned to look at him and nodded. Then, he stepped inside the yard and stopped in front of the white front door.


    Knock! Knock!


    He knocked with his knuckles and straightened his back as he began waiting. Soon, footsteps echoed from the other side of the door.


    The door opened slowly, and Luna''s mother, Mariah, appeared with an apron draped over her beautiful figure.


    Her eyes showed a split-second shock after seeing the white-haired man. Then, she forced a smile and asked.


    ''''You came to visit Luna?''''


    Isaac nodded and was let inside the house. Mariah told him that Luna was upstairs in her room, then she went back to the kitchen to continue her cooking.


    Isaac walked up the stairs and soon was standing on the second floor. There were several doors, but it was easy to find out what room was Luna''s.


    There was a nametag with her name and flower patterns painted around it.


    Knock! Knock!


    Isaac knocked on the door and began waiting. However, after ten seconds, there wasn''t any noiseing. He ced his hand on the doorknob and slowly opened the door.


    A fresh scent wafted into his ear, and Isaac saw a clean room with light blue walls and a moderate-sized bed.


    There was a small chandelier hanging from the ceiling, and windows were covered in curtains. A soft and fluffy-looking carpet covered the whole floor, and next to the wall was arge wardrobe.


    There was also a desk and a chair upied by a beautiful-looking ck-haired girl. She brushed her morning hair with a few strands looking out of ce.


    On top of the desk was aptop with a website opened. It looked simr to a White Online forum, which was precisely that!


    Isaac stopped behind her and leaned closer for her to feel his breath.


    ''''Kyaa!'''' She sprung up with surprise covering her face. Her ears were covered with earbuds, and she couldn''t hear the knocking because of them.


    After seeing the culprit who breathed in her ear, her cheeks flushed, and she ced the brush back on the desk before taking off her earbuds.


    ''''Isaac¡­'''' Her cheeks inted as she began pouting.


    Isaac chuckled and slumped down on the soft bed, ''''What''cha looking?''''


    He was certain he saw the forum website and wondered why Luna was there browsing.


    ''''Nothing in particr¡­'''' She replied with a slight dishonest tone. She grabbed theptop and sat down on the bed.


    Isaac shifted his body and sat up right next to her. Then, they both began looking through the forums.


    Several forums talked about Spring Realm and about the things they experienced there. The South Continent yer base was raging hard. Other Continent yers treated them as inferior and were usually given harsh treatment by them.


    Luna looked at her boyfriend and asked, ''''Has this happened to you?''''


    ''''No,'''' Isaac answered. He had only seen two yers, and they weren''t treating him such.


    ''''Good¡­'''' Luna''s mouth curved upward, and she leaned slightly left to rest her head on Isaac''s shoulder.


    Isaac scrolled the forum down and saw several articles about other viges also surrounded by something that made progress difficult.


    There was a vige surrounded by argeke, and it was full of dangerous water creatures that would swallow the yer whole. Just by reading it, Isaac couldn''t do anything except pray for whoever ended up there.


    Then, there was also a vige surrounded by jungle. It seemed simr to the forest that surrounded Rainwell Vige.


    Thest one he read was about a vige surrounded by a swamp. Some were drastically different than others, but some had slight simrities.


    After reading enough, Luna closed theptop and ced it back on the desk. Then, she returned to the bed and looked at Isaac, whose eyes didn''t have the same glow as previously. It was like he was always deep in thought.


    ''''Is everything alright?''''


    Isaac slightly flinched after her out-of-nowhere question. He wryly smiled and nodded, not really nning to tell her about yesterday. It might change the way she looked at him.


    Luna tilted her head, curiosity filling up her insides. She felt like Isaac was hiding something important.


    To change the topic of conversation, Isaac moved closer to her and said, ''''My mother would want to meet you.''''


    ''''R-Really?!'''' She didn''t expect that and felt her heart pounding.


    Isaac smiled and nodded.


    Luna''s innocent-looking face beamed. She began smiling as she thought his family hated her for some reason. But now, her worries were removed.


    Seeing her smile made him smile as well. But then, he remembered something.


    ''''Right¡­'''' His voice attracted Luna''s attention. Then, she saw his smile, which caused her heart to pound with a pink hue about to spread around her cheeks.


    ''''I received Resin of Dreams, the second ingredient for Dream Potion.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Luna''s flushed face turned shocked, ''''W-W-W-Wha, already?!''''


    Isaac smiled and nodded. It didn''t take long for him to get trapped in a hug with excited-looking Luna, whose body tightly hugged his.


    They fell to their backs and enjoyed each other''s warmth while lying on the bed. The two mounds touching Isaac''s chest made his lips dry and throat parched.


    Luna kept innocently smiling while blinking. Slowly, she felt something hard poking around her stomach.


    ''''Hmm, what is that?'''' She lowered her gaze, but then Isaac touched her chin and raised it with slightly blushed cheeks.


    ''''Ah, nothing,'''' Isaac replied with a slightly embarrassed look.


    She pouted and didn''t believe it one bit. Again, she tried to lower her gaze but was instantly trapped in a passionate kiss with Isaac, whose distraction worked perfectly, and Luna forgot about the hard-poking thingpletely.


    Her sweet honey-like lips were smashed together with Isaac''s slightly dry, still soft lips.

 Chapter 386 Gods Facing Demon

    Chapter 386 - Gods Facing Demon.


    After the visit to Snowflower Residence, Isaac returned to his home with an energetic look. The passionate kissing session with Luna caused all his worries to finally disappear, and his body instantly felt lighter.


    His thoughts moved more smoothly, and during the car trip back, he thought about Oliver and his friends'' threat, and Isaac thought about several ways of ending that threat once and for all.


    After entering the house, Isaac slipped out of his winter boots and rushed toward his room.


    However, after reaching the fourth floor, he heard the sound of wings pping above him. Isaac frowned and turned to look at the brand-new-looking ceiling with slight dust particles dropping down.


    The sound came from the attic, causing Isaac to change his destination slightly. Soon, he opened the wooden hatch and entered the dust-filled attic with boxes littering the ground and wooden crisps littering the ground.


    The attic window was tightly shut, and outside, a Snowy Owl was trying to enter, but its long beak couldn''t prate the tough ss.


    ''''Ah, it''s you again.'''' Isaac opened the window, and the Snowy Owlnded on his shoulder.


    The Snowy Owl looked around with its neck stretching at an ufortable-looking angle.


    Isaac curiously checked whether the Snowy Owl had simr blue feathers to the one he met in Brightstar.


    Soon, he saw the Snowy Owl''s chest with a few strands of blue feathers. They were also ced perfectly in the same spots.


    ''''Hmm, why are you following me, little one?'''' Isaac took it from his shoulder and held it in his palm.


    The Snowy Owl didn''t react to the question and kept looking in the same direction. Isaac also looked in that direction and saw nothing except broken boxes and a thickyer of dust wrapped around them.


    Then, the Snowy Owl turned around and pped its wings before flying away. After the owl left, Isaac continued looking outside the window and wondered why the same owl continueding to him.


    He closed the window and took another look in the direction of the boxes before leaving.


    ¡­


    Next day.


    Isaac opened his eyes and was standing on his semi-tough bed with a shimmer of light escaping through the narrow openings of curtains. He checked his interface and then left his room.


    After reaching the empty living room, he was about to step outside the house. Then, without warning, a bell rang throughout the World of White, and an announcement appeared in front of every yer.


    [Downtime - Ready!]


    [Downtime: We, Legacy Company, decided to start the first-ever Downtime for White Online to fix the bugs and fix some way the sses are being handled]


    [Downtime - 23:59.59¡­]


    ''''Downtime¡­ And itsts 1 day.'''' Isaac didn''t think too deeply into it and was forcefully logged out from the game.


    ¡­


    In Legacy Company''s Headquarters.


    Arthur stood alone in the room with thousands of screens. The hundreds of chairs were slid under the tables, and the usual workers were nowhere to be seen.


    Then, the sliding doors opened, and Emilia came with a longsting frown on her face.


    ''''Where is everyone?'''' She asked with a confused look, ''''I received news that Downtime appeared out of nowhere for bug fixing.''''


    Arthur chuckled, ''''Bug fixing¡­ That was the excuse they thought?''''


    ''''Who?''''


    ''''The Board of Directors, of course.'''' Arthur chuckled and began revealing what this all was about.


    ''''The Board of Directors met with a god, and they revealed what would happen. In the end, they wanted to please the gods and ced the Downtime.''''


    He shook his head and chuckled, ''''Bug fixing¡­ Such shitty excuse.''''


    ''''Then, what is this all about?'''' Emilia gulped down her iing fears. She thought that something serious was going to happen.


    ''''Stand aside, and watch.'''' Arthur straightened his back and saw the screens flickering until three figures appeared.


    Emilia sneakily walked out of the line of sight and gasped after seeing the three figures.


    ''''God Zeus, God Ares, and God Hermes.'''' Arthur gave three bows.


    God Zeus was a middle-aged-looking man with long gray hair. His eyes showed a lightning pattern with simr-looking tattoos carved into his skin.


    His muscr, broad-chested, well-defined shoulders were draped over with a shiny golden robe.


    God Ares was a powerful-looking man with war armor covering his figure. His handsome face was wrapped around by a war helmet, and a long-handled axe was strapped on his back.


    His explosive-looking muscles couldn''t be hidden under the tough fabric and carcass.


    God Hermes was a short man, around 160cm, with simr golden robes. He looked the most modern out of the three, with his feet slipped inside sneakers. There were also ear piercings, making his look more unique than other Gods.


    His hair was quite beautiful with light blond, and his overall handsome face. His stature wasn''t the most muscr. Instead, they were lean and athletic. His legs were bulging with explosive-looking muscled, giving him a great increase in speed.


    The three Gods looked serious, not in a joking mood.


    ''''Arthur¡­'''' God Zeus took the lead and opened his mouth, ''''Sorry about this, but this was needed. The spawns of demons shouldn''t be aware that the yers have been invited to this world.''''


    Arthur nodded, ''''Ipletely understand.''''


    Then, God Ares frowned and looked toward the raging sky. Dark clouds emerged out of nowhere, and lightning began wreaking havoc.


    ''''He is here!''''


    ''''See you soon, we have something to discuss aboutter.'''' God Zeus said and closed the screen. Then, he, God Ares, and Hermes turned around to look at the sky.


    From there, a massive monstrous-looking head appeared with two horns poking through his forehead. His menacing-looking red eyes caused everything they looked at to be ash.


    The head was mostly skeleton with fewshes of flesh nailed on the head, and hair was nonexistent.


    Then, he opened his mouth wide open. The three Gods were assaulted by the disgusting stench of stomach fluid and the scene of the skeleton''s insides.


    The mouth had sharp teeth and a long-spiky tongue. Then, from the depths of the mouth,va began pouring down.


    He closed his mouth, trying to keep theva inside his mouth. Then, he inhaled deeply and vomited theva out of his mouth.


    The deadly-lookingva vomit flew across the sky,ing straight toward the three Gods, who grabbed their weapons and prepared for battle.

 Chapter 387 Dawn of Demons

    Chapter 387 - Dawn of Demons.


    God Zeus'' body crackled in lightning as he prepared to defend against theva vomit. In his hand, a massive lightning bolt with blue electrical spikes circling around it appeared.


    Instantly, the atmosphere grew tense and pressure-filled. The single lightning bolt caused every lightning in the sky to cease existing. Currently, the only lightning in the world was the one held in God Zeus'' grasp.


    ''''Raaah!'''' God Zeus'' eyes were shown to emit currents of electricity. They made a deep and long trail of lightning behind him that forced everyone near him to step aside.


    God Ares pulled a shield from the crack in the space and ced it in front of him.


    Theva was getting nearer.


    Then, God Hermes stabbed his arm inside his torso. However, the scene that should have happened didn''t. Instead, his torso was intact, with a slight golden crack separating his body.


    From there, he pulled out a golden-colored war axe with a long handle. He grabbed the heavy-looking weapon with a single arm and turned his gaze toward the iingva.


    The golden crack disappeared like it was never there.


    Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!


    God Zeus'' body was wrapped around with currents of electricity as he gathered all the strength from his body to the lightning bolt. Once the lightning bolt wasrge enough to overwhelm the skies, he finally threw it!


    The lightning bolt pierced through the bubblingva and destroyed it until only stters of hotva were left. Then, the lightning bolt pierced through theyers of clouds and shed with the massive head''s horn.


    ''''Pitiful!'''' The massive head said his first words, and an arm appeared from the space crack. The arm wasrger than the gigantic lightning bolt and fully clothed in hexagon-symboled armor!


    The hand grabbed the lightning bolt and snapped it in half. It slowly disappeared, leaving only trails of electricity behind.


    ''''Haaaah!'''' God Ares lunged forward and ran like a maniac on the cloud-like ground. Then, the explosive muscles around his thighs grew, and he jumped into the air.


    With his war-axe in hand, he swung it around before sending a ray of sword sh toward the massive head.


    Then, a second arm appeared from the space crack andpletely destroyed the sword ray with a flick of his finger!


    God Ares wasn''t done and raised his axe in front of him. His muscles grew and grew. The blood vessels protruded, and veins popped. His muscles seemed like they were about to rupture!


    His godly armor, which had withstood thousands of battles, finally cracked. The armor couldn''t handle the explosive strength about being unleashed.


    The atmosphere grew crazy and restless. The trees were yanked from their roots, and the clouds vanished under God Ares'' strong aura.


    Then, the blue sky turned dark, and the sound of horses neighing echoed throughout the sky. In the sky, illusions of weaponed soldiers fighting against each other appeared.


    The massive head looked confused and tried to destroy the illusions, but his hand only phased through.


    ''''The Godly Symphony!'''' Following God Ares'' shout, a massive war-axe appeared in the sky. At first, it looked like an illusion, but soon, everyone noticed it giving different energy.


    The energy was simr to what God yers gave when they were going all-out.


    ''''RAAAAAAAH!''''


    Then, the massive axe was swung down and shed with one of the arms.


    BOOM!


    KABOOM!


    CRACK!


    The cloud field was wiped away, and the sound of fighting echoed throughout five realms.


    Every God, Goddess, NPCs, Monsters, and even wild animals, turned their heads toward the sky where shadows flickered.


    ''''Haahh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' God Ares dropped his axe and knelt on the ground. He reached his limit and was entirely out of stamina. The illusions disappeared, and the destroyed massive axe vanished.


    The massive head was still uninjured, alongside his arm. Even the hexagon-symboled armor was intact, with no signs of wearing out.


    ''''Weak¡­'''' The head slowly opened his mouth, and a ball of pure darkness popped up in his throat this time. Itpletely clogged the throat, causing him to be unable to breathe. However, he didn''t seem pained.


    Slowly, the ball of darkness moved up his throat and appeared inside his mouth.


    Once a speck of the darknessnded on the ground, therge cloud field turned ashes and disappeared with a breeze of wind.


    God Zeus and God Hermes looked at each other and nodded. They lunged forward, their weapons raging as they leaped forth.


    ''''Dark Demon!'''' The head spat out the ball of darkness, and the whole God Realm instantly turned freezing cold.


    Thousands of citizens were turned into ice blocks and died without even realizing what had happened.


    The quick-witted Gods quickly appeared in the sky and fought against the sudden cold. With their nicely-timed assistance, they managed to save hundreds of millions of God Realm citizens.


    God Zeus gritted his teeth, and his whole body crackled in lighting. Then, he screamed aloud, his whole body shaking, and a massive lightning bolt in the color of red emerged from the sky.


    The head slightly raised his head and saw the enormous lightning bolt. Not a flicker of fear was visible within his features.


    God Hermes moved across the whole God Realm with blinding speed. His movements only let out a sh of strange golden lightning as he traveled across the entire realm thousands of times in a matter of seconds.


    Then, once his speed reached the limit. He jumped into the air and appeared in front of the head with unbelievable speed, even catching the head off-guard.


    ''''Godly sh!'''' He swung with his speed increasing the strength of the sh thousandfold. The axe shed through the head swiftly, leaving a long trail of blood behind.


    The head was separated in half.


    Then, the massive red lightning descended from the sky andnded on the separated head. After the first strands of lightning touched the head, it exploded!


    The head exploded, sending pieces of skull and eyes flying around. The brain matter was stted across the God Realm, and the two arms slowly disappeared.


    However, beforepletely disappearing, the voice returned.


    ''''Hahahaha¡­ Such difficulties in fighting against my mere Avatar¡­ With one breath of mine, you all would be wiped out¡­''''


    ''''Beware¡­ It''s soon Dawn of Demons¡­ Remember me¡­ Garmagello!''''

 Chapter 388 Arthurs Third Phase

    Chapter 388 - Arthur''s Third Phase.


    The God Realm returned to its previous calmness. The destruction was still clear, and half of the realm was still wrapped around a veil of coldness.


    "Argh¡­" God Ares slowly stood up with the de of his axe cracked. His face almost looked like it was melting away, but it was only his state of utter exhaustion. He used every inch of power found in his body and didn''t even manage to injure the avatar.


    That reality made his pride and confident demeanor as God crumble.


    "At this rate¡­ Only annihtion awaits us." He aimed those words at God Zeus and Hermes, who were still in a state of hyper-focus.


    Hermes agreed, "Yeah, the yers need to grow much stronger."


    Snap!


    God Zeus snapped his fingers, and a translucent screen emerged from thin air. Soon, Arthur''s face appeared with the dark room behind him.


    "Gods." Arthur bowed politely and tried hiding his turbulent heart and shocked look. He managed to get a glimpse of destruction and the state of the Gods.


    They looked like they had been hit by a truck.


    "Arthur. We need to increase the pace of humanity''s growth."


    Arthur raised his head with slight surprise, "Wouldn''t that attract the demon''s attention?"


    "Yes." God Zeus admitted, "But, seeing the demon using his avatar. I can tell that they are impatient to enter this world."


    "They are using everything in their power to travel here, but it will still take time."


    "At this moment, only one of the strongest demons managed to send their avatar, but those aren''t difficult to defeat. So far, we don''t need to worry, but humanity won''t be prepared for their arrival at the current pace."


    Arthur bit his index finger and said, "The humanity isn''t ready. They aren''t united. The second phase had just started."


    "Since the first realm was mostly separated, the second realm will be finally when all Continents gather."


    "And¡­ There had been slight difficulties."


    Gods raised their eyebrows, wondering what could make Arthur so troubled.


    "Haahh¡­" Arthur was seated in a nearby chair that was still visible on the screen. He began exining the second phase.


    "Second phase was to spread Mythical VR Helmets to wealthy families, and to reveal the location of Spring Gate for selected few for them to unlock."


    "However, that had¡­ A problem."


    "South Continent has a rather unusual yer base. There are few yers that neither wanted to appear on Rankings. Therefore, they disabled it and becamepletely invisible in Rankings."


    "Then, they didn''t try to defeat God Zephyros'' Avatar, instead waited for others to defeat it."


    "But, that caused a problem. The yer base that actually tried defeating failed because they simply didn''t have their strongest yers present."


    "That made South Continent''s yers growth slower because they were week slower than others, and now they are basically isted from three other Continents."


    Gods weren''t pleased to hear that. Their faces became thoughtful, and they wondered what could change that oue.


    Then, God Hermes opened his mouth, "Send a notion what Dream Potions are for. That should interest many, but don''t tell what they are for yet. Instead, just say it makes the yer who drinks that stronger."


    God Ares and Zeus nodded at that suggestion.


    Arthur also nodded.


    "Also, humanity needs to unite, and the fastest way is for them to learn the truth." God Ares said with a solemn look.


    Instantly, Arthur shook his head with clear anxiety, "That would cause widespread panic. Humanity is filled with fools, and it won''t end well."


    "Have some faith." God Zeus said, "The humanity might be fragile and foolish. But, we have learned from the Legends of that world that they harbor a strong heart."


    "When things get tough, they will be there to safeguard humanity''s legacy."


    Arthur became silent. His face was shrouded in a veil of thoughtfulness.


    "I guess it''s also time to spend all legacies to other realms." God Hermes suggested.


    "Agreed, and¡­" God Zeus crossed his arms, "Arthur, it''s time for the Third Phase."


    "What?!" Arthur jolted up with shock filling his face, "Are you sure, sir?"


    "Yes, begin the third phase within a month. Prepare for it, and ensure that you will stay in yourpany''s lead. That is the most important thing."


    "If the foolish Board of Directors gets their hands on your power, the humanity is as good as dead!"


    "Alright¡­" Arthur nodded¡ª then, the room of thousand screens became dark as the three Godly figures disappeared from the screens.


    The screens flickered, and they became dark. Then, Emilia stepped out of the shadows with a pale face and whole body trembling.


    The things she heard were far from ordinary, and she understood that the world would change drastically in the uing months.


    "Right¡­" Arthur tapped the metal edge of the nearby table with his index finger, "What to do¡­ What to do¡­"


    "A-Arthur, if you do this¡­ How can you stay as CEO?" Emilia spoke with concern.


    Arthur stood up. His tall figure towered over Emilia.


    "In the eyes of Board of Directors, I might seem loose cannon and receable."


    "I can also see them eyeing my position with hungry looks, and one misstep from me will cause them to lunge at me with sharp teeth."


    "T-Then, what can you do?" Emilia asked.


    "Well¡­" Arthur''s mouth curved upward, and an unmistakable grin stretched his mouth, "Past decade, I haven''t been idling around¡­ I have been preparing for White Online for so long¡­"


    "There is nothing I haven''t nned for, including the Board of Directors and the chance of me getting removed from thepany."


    Slowly, Arthur trekked toward the sliding door, which showed a light-filled hallway, and framed pictures on the walls.


    Emilia rushed to him, asking, "What could you possibly do? I don''t see any way how you can stay as CEO if you rush the third phase!"


    "Especially after everyone had just gotten Mythical Helmets that they had waited for so long. It will also make every sponsor and investor angry at you."


    "There is no way it will end well!"


    Arthur''s grin never faced, "I know¡­ But, if I have to make investors angry. I need to make everyone else love me."


    "What if¡­ Everymoner on this wanted me to stay as CEO of Legacy Company¡­ Will I be removed?"


    Emilia''s eyes widened, "A-A-Are you saying¡­"


    "It''s time to n properly¡­" Arthur stepped out of the room and continued walking till he reached his office, where he would spend the remaining month nning and deciding when to execute the n that would change the direction of the world¡­


    Forever.

 Chapter 389 VR Helmet Operation Course

    Chapter 389 - VR Helmet Operation Course.


    Whoosh!


    A sharp bo-staff shed the empty air, causing a strong whistling sound. The man wielding the staff was drenched in sweat.


    Isaac continued shing, his palms had be red, and his arms were beginning to tremble.


    Since he was forcefully logged out, he began training the bo-staff.


    Brr!


    Now, his training halted as his phone, in the back pocket, vibrated.


    Isaac ced the staff next to the wall and pulled out the phone. After the screen opened, it showed a notification of news.


    The news showed different pictures of schools with interesting title below.


    [New School System]


    [Because of the unexpected release of White Online currency able to transfer into real-life currency, the game wasn''t only a game anymore, it could be considered a possible job for future generations.]


    [The different schools made calctions, and the chance of students dropping out to try their luck in White Online was too high to be ignored.]


    [In the end, they decided to change the school system slightly. There would be a new ss, called VR Helmet Operation ss]


    [The primary purpose of the ss was to teach the younger students how to use their avatars and increase their knowledge about the Virtual Reality]


    [The older students have more advanced sses, but basically, the primary purpose of the course was to increase the strength of their students]


    [In the past, such an idea would seem crazy and like a bad joke. But, the importance of White Online has skyrocketed, and the world will never be the same again]


    [Since the start of the real-life currency frenzy, the number of yers choosing Master sses had skyrocketed]


    [The Master sses has one of the highest chance of earning money via making potions and selling them]


    [But, the highest chance of earning money is still via bing strong enough to defeat strong monsters and get items from them to sellter in Merchant Stores]


    [The VR Helmet Operation ss will separate into different sses. Fighting, Shooter, Master, and Unique sses]


    [That gives the schools another problem. Somehow, they have to find a yer that is good enough to teach such subjects]


    [Not many would be willing to ignore the chance of earning big money in White Online to be a low-paid teacher]


    ¡­


    After reading a whole page of different paragraphs, Isaac became speechless. When he first heard about schools closing, for the time being, he thought they would just give more restrictions for their students.


    In the end, they blew his mind by adding a White Online-rted ss.


    Isaac also saw that the schools allow students to bring their own VR Helmets, which they could use during free time when there wasn''t a ss.


    He slowly pocketed his phone and thought about how different it was now from a year ago.


    Knock! Knock!


    Out of nowhere, his door was assaulted by loud knocking, and then the door opened, and his mother, Isabe, appeared with a concerned look.


    ''''Isaac, umm¡­'''' She nced toward the stairway and then looked back at Isaac, ''''Your teacher came to visit.''''


    Isaac''s eyes slowly widened, ''''What¡­''''


    Isabe bit her lip and stepped inside the room, ''''He is here to check how you are doing¡­ And, are you ready to return to school.''''


    Isaac''s whole body trembled as unwillingness began sprouting inside his heart.


    Without hesitation, he shook his head and turned from his mother to hide his face, ''''Tell him I won''t, no matter what.''''


    Isabe''s hands were clenched into a tight fist, ''''Alright¡­''''


    She left with slight relief that her son didn''t intend to re-join school but was also saddened. It wasn''t long ago when Isaac was always happy to go to school, but now, he would go anywhere else than there.


    Soon, she reached downstairs, and his husband and handsome-looking man were discussing in the living room.


    Surprisingly, the handsome man was the one who saved Isaac from perhaps certain death, Damien.


    Damien and Maxwell turned their heads. They instantly noticed that Isaac was nowhere to be seen.


    ''''Where is Isaac?'''' Maxwell asked.


    ''''He said he won''t be returning.'''' Isabe bluntly said as she got seated next to Maxwell.


    Damien''s hand, holding a coffee cup, trembled and almost spilled the hot liquid on his skin.


    He lowered the cup and sighed deeply.


    Maxwell locked his fingers. Since Isaac had grown to be different since White Online was released, he thought his trauma was almost gone. But, it was a far-fetched idea. It was still there, just hidden, deeply.


    Isabe crossed her arms and looked at Damien, who was in deep thought. If it was any other teacher, she wouldn''t have let them inside her home.


    But Damien was different. He saved her son''s life, and she was eternally grateful. But, in the end, Damien worked for Snowstar''s school and was subordinate to higher-ups, who sometimes gave him orders that didn''t please him.


    Like this one.


    The purpose of his meeting was basically trying to get Isaac re-join the school. They thought with Damien''s help, it would be easier because Isaac was already grateful to him, and they thought about guilt-tripping him into joining.


    Of course, they know about Isaac''s alias, Wraith. It wasn''t difficult to see the resemnces between the two, and it wasn''t only them who noticed the simrities.


    They had high hopes of Isaac joining the VR Helmet Operation ss and perhaps even bing a teacher, but for free, of course. The cost to recruit teachers for every ss was a lot.


    It caused them to already lower the budget of School Clubs, and at this rate, they have to decrease the pay of other teachers.


    If they had a chance to get a teacher for free, they would grab that chance with bloodied nails and keep clinging onto it until their fingernails peel off.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Damien stood up and said, ''''Sorry about this visit. You know them¡­ They don''t care much about people''s feelings, instead of about how heavy their money pouch was.''''


    Maxwell stood up and shook his hand, ''''It''s alright¡­ Maybe next time,e visit when you are off-duty.''''


    Damien''s mouth curved up as he nodded. Soon, he left the mansion and felt a lingering gaze on him.


    He turned around, and in the fourth floor''s window, he could see a white-haired man looking at him.


    Damien raised his hand slightly, giving a farewell wave.


    Isaac nodded at him and closed the curtains.

 Chapter 390 Bird and Bees

    Chapter 390 - Bird and Bees.


    In Snowflower Residence.


    In the room with pink-colored walls and afy atmosphere, Luna was lying t on their stomach on her moderate-sized bed with a touchscreen phone in her hands.


    Her hair was slightly wet after a semi-short shower session, and her pajamas embraced her body tightly.


    On top of a small desk, her Legendary VR Helmet was connected with wires, and the visor continued beeping. Every now and then, it showed the words Downtime and the countdown slowly ticking down.


    ''''Mmmh¡­ Hmmm¡­'''' A calm and sweet sound of humming left through her slightly closed lips. A pleasant look was drawn on her face, and the things she saw on the phone made her hum with satisfaction.


    Creak¡­


    Then, the door opened, and a whiff of perfume lingered in the room. Mariah scanned the room while standing in the doorway with furrowed brows and narrowed eyes.


    Her nose was slightly scrunched up as she sniffed the air. She couldn''t smell anything except her own perfume. That caused her muscles to rx, and she finally stepped inside the room.


    However, at that moment, her feet halted, and she saw an old pile of clothes on top of a clothing rack.


    ''''What are you doing?'''' Luna looked at her mother with an innocent gaze. She felt slightly amused at her mother''s suspicious behavior. For some reason, she studied the whole room thoroughly to ensure that nothing unholy happened yesterday.


    ''''Nothing¡­'''' Mariah replied with a still suspicious look. When she saw the pile of clothes, she was frightened because yesterday her beloved daughter and Isaac had stayed in this room for countless hours.


    She could hear Luna''s giggles several times, and every time she felt like something grabbed her heart and squeezed it. The shes of images surfaced in her mind. She thought about all sorts of unholy things that could have happened here.


    Luna moved into a sitting position and pocketed her phone. Then, Mariah sat next to her and asked.


    ''''What did you want to talk to me about?''''


    ''''Ah right.'''' Luna forgot that she had told her mother to visit her, ''''Can I visit Isaac today?''''


    ''''No!'''' Sin''s sharp voice came downstairs. It was like he had eagle-like ears. Yesterday, he heard terrifying news. While he was working, a certain hyena visited their house.


    Luna''s cheeks inted, ''''Why not!''''


    ''''You are still young!''''


    ''''I am 18!''''


    ''''Still! He is a boy with hormones running wild!''''


    ''''Hormones?'''' Luna tilted her head. She had no clue what her father meant by that.


    Mariah''s cheeks slightly reddened, ''''Your father is worried that you two might do something¡­ Indecent.''''


    Luna''s cheeks went pink, and the quilt began overflowing. Since she was young, she had told everything to her mother, and the quilt forced her to tell her secret.


    She leaned closer and whispered, ''''Mom, I have a secret¡­''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Mariah''s ears perked up. She listened closely.


    ''''We already did something¡­'''' Luna''s face was dyed in embarrassment as she uttered the words, ''''Indecent¡­''''


    Mariah''s face went pale like she saw her worst nightmaresing to light. A trail of blood trickled down her mouth as she identally bit her lip.


    ''''Y-Y-Y-You are still too young to be a mother!''''


    ''''Mother?'''' Luna soon realized what she meant by that, and her face instantly turned pale white, ''''W-W-Wait, are you saying kissing makes me pregnant?! I didn''t know!''''


    Beads of tear brimmed down in her cute round eyes.


    ''''How can I be a mother with my condition¡­ My poor baby will suffer!'''' She covered her face with tears gushing out from the gaps of her fingers.


    Mariah''s face returned normal with a slight twitch of the eyebrow, ''''W-W-Wait, kissing? Is that the indecent thing you two were doing?''''


    Luna stopped covering her face and nodded with her tear-stained face.


    Mariah patted her chest with a deep sigh of relief, ''''I-I misunderstood. Kissing doesn''t make you pregnant. No need to worry.''''


    ''''Really?!'''' Luna''s tears stopped falling as she saw a string of hope in the distance.


    ''''The indecent thing I talked about was¡­ More, intimate.'''' Mariah slightly averted her gaze, not daring to look at her daughter''s eyes. Since Luna grew into an adult, Mariah hoped she wouldn''t have to do this talk.


    The primary reason was she hoped that Luna would stay with her and Sin forever, without any boying to disturb their family. But, it didn''t go as nned, and Winter Illness was one of the biggest reasons they wanted to spend as much time with Luna as possible.


    Most of the time, they were too busy to visit the hospital, even though they spent almost all their free time there.


    ''''There is something more indecent than kissing?'''' Luna''s face showed shock, and she leaned closer to know what it was.


    ''I need to tell her before she is tricked into doing something she doesn''t know the importance of¡­'' Mariah clenched her fist and turned to look at her beautiful daughter.


    She began telling stories about bees and birds with hand signals. During the whole talk, her face was flushed in embarrassment, and she could see her daughter''s face showing shock with redness spreading from her neck to ears.


    After the talk, Luna''s whole face was red, her eyes hazy, and her legs tightly closed.


    ''''R-R-Remember.'''' Mariah put a lot of importance into her following words, ''''O-Only do it with the person you love!''''


    She stood up and left the room as quickly as possible. After mming the door shut, she slumped on the floor with embarrassment budding from every corner of her body.


    Inside the room.


    The words her mother said rang in her mind, ''''Person you love¡­ Love¡­ Love¡­''''


    She slightly turned her head to the right and pulled out her phone. Once the dark screen was turned on, the wallpaper showed a white-haired young man. The photo was taken from an awkward angle, obviously a picture that was taken sneakily.


    ''''With the person you love¡­''''


    Her lips curved upward as she nodded with rity shining in her eyes, ''''I now know what to do¡­ Thanks, mom!''''


    Her mother, Mariah''s, n of making clear boundaries between her daughter, and Isaac, didn''t go as nned. Instead, it had apletely different oue than she would have ever expected.

 Chapter 391 - Brotherhood of Knights

    Chapter 391 - Brotherhood of Knights.


    Somewhere in Autumnd.


    There was an area that was forbidden to enter no matter what status one had. It was near the boundaries of the Continent, within arge mountainside.


    The mountainside had enormous mountains that cut the clouds in half.


    At first nce, the mountainside would look inhabited. However, that wasn''t exactly the case.


    In the deepest part of the mountainside, there was a vige built in those mountains with clear streets and paths. The scene was fascinating because the ''''vige'''' could be mistaken for a miniature City!


    The mountains were connected with a stone road, and hundreds of cabin-like buildings and a few modern buildings were built right on the hills.


    While the mountains looked quite unstable and sharp from far away. That wasn''t the case. Instead, there were manyrge tforms, enough to fit dozens of buildings.


    Then, at the bottom of the mountain, there were open valleys with rocky terrain. Still, flower patches were growing from the ground!


    There were farmers taking care of the flower patches, and in the nearby area, dirtied-looking men left a cavern with bags full of different materials andrge rocks.


    They took a simple path that circled around the mountain and took them to their vige.


    Currently, at the bottom of the mountain, a temple was built on top of a small mountain with a stone staircase leading down. It was presently surrounded by energetic-looking young men and women who wielded swords and shields.


    The weapons shing was the mostmon sound on the mountainside.


    This was the birthce of the Brotherhood of Knights and the reason why the mountainside was forbidden. They were the oldest and most respected Brotherhood in Autumnd, and the Grandmaster of this ce had perhaps more influence than the wealthiest familiesbined!


    The antique-looking temple was built mostly with bricks, stones, and ck tiles that covered the roof.


    Inside the temple, the Grandmaster of this enormous Brotherhood was seated on top of a soft-looking cushion. There was a small box in front of him and scissors.


    Facing him were the six best students of his. They were named Kin, Nilo, Ino, Gabrie, Helena, and Tauri.


    Four men and two women.


    They all had robes over their athletic figures as they silently and politely continued to kowtow toward the Grandmaster.


    Then, the Grandmaster opened his mouth, ''''White Online¡­ May you six¡­ Tell me your current levels?''''


    Kin stopped kowtowing and straightened his back with his eyes locked with the Grandmaster''s aged yet, wise eyes.


    ''''121!'''' Kin shouted.


    ''''120!'''' Nilo shouted.


    ''''120!'''' I shouted.


    ''''119!'''' Gabrie shouted.


    ''''119,'''' Helena shouted.


    Then, the Grandmaster turned to look at the youngest person present, Tauri. His attention wasn''t on him. Instead, he looked like his soul had left his body.


    ''''Tauri,'''' Grandmaster spoke gently, and finally, Tauri had a reaction as he slowly opened his mouth.


    ''''127.'''' He spoke calmly.


    Kin, Nilo, Ino, Gabrie, and Helena looked utterly shocked.


    ''''Lies!'''' Kin shouted and sprung to his two feet, ''''Even Lord Kalzer is only 125 level. How can you be two levels above?!''''


    Grandmaster looked at Tauri with a calm gaze. He didn''t see even a speck of lying, and no one could fool his old eyes.


    His lips slightly curved upward, ''''Alright¡­''''


    He grabbed the scissors and slowly opened the box. In there, another ck box came to view. He took it out and gave it to Tauri.


    Tauri took it with no change in expression.


    ''''Tauri, remember the Brotherhood of Knight''s purpose.''''


    ''''Yes, grandmaster.''''


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Wintend, a cold forest covered in harsh snow.


    A man, covered in animal fur, trekked through the solid stone piles. There was a leather bag strapped on his back with a few knifes hanging from his hips.


    Soon, he reached his home, a wooden cabin with a triangr-shaped roof and a chimney poking through from the middle.


    There were several square-shaped windows next to the front door that showed the dark interior of his home.


    The yard had several wooden logs piled on top with an axe stuck deep in the wooden trunk.


    The man pulled out his bag and took several dead animals that had already been skinned and was wrapped around a stic bag. He took them out and hanged them up from several metal hooks.


    The bag rested on his shoulder as he pulled out the axe from the wooden trunk. Then, he opened the front door and entered the cabin with his shoes, leaving a trail of footprints.


    ''''Haah¡­'''' He took off his winter beanie and threw the bag to the side. Then, he stopped moving as his ears perked up.


    The grip on the axe''s wooden handle tightened, and his gaze went over the soft-looking couch and firece. Itnded in the dark corner of the room.


    He moved his arm and threw the axe toward the dark corner.


    Thud!


    Suddenly, an arm appeared from the darkness and grabbed the axe. Then, a figure appeared with thick winter clothing draped over him, and the lower half of his face was covered with a dark mouth mask.


    ''''Who are you?'''' The man spoke with a chilly tone.


    ''''Hehe¡­ Huntley, calm down¡­'''' The figure''s voice was cold and amused at the same time.


    The man named Huntley was shocked that someone knew his name. A terrible feeling began sprouting inside his heart, and his hand slowly moved closer to his knives.


    ''''Don''t even think about taking out the knives.'''' The dark-clothed figure showed the de of the axe and began walking forward.


    Huntley gritted his teeth, and his feet slowly took him closer to the door.


    Then, the figure moved his hand across his face and took off the mask.


    Huntley''s face widened in shock, ''''Y-Y-Y-You¡­ N-No.''''


    ''''Yes!'''' The figureughed after seeing Huntley''s shocked face. The dark-clothed figure''s face was rtively handsome but also pale, like a ghost.


    This man''s name was Lone Souldeath. He was part of the infamous Souldeath Family.


    ''''W-W-What do you want?''''


    ''''What do I want?'''' Lone grinned and pulled up his sleeve. A tattoo of chains circled around his muscles.


    ''''I am here to tell you that¡­ It''s time for you to fulfill your foolish ancestor''s debt!''''

 Chapter 392 - Demon Lord of Seventh Heaven

    Chapter 392 - Demon Lord of Seventh Heaven.


    Huntley paled, "I-I am just an old man, enjoying his retirement. I don''t have the ability to help your prestigious family¡­"


    Lone grinned and did not heed his words, "You know what happens if you reject¡­ So, hop hop, we are going to Souldeath residence!"


    "P-Please¡­" Huntley fell to his knees soon, his forehead touched the wooden floor as he begged.


    "Don''t make me do this¡­ Please!"


    Lone crouched next to him and grabbed his aged hair into his tightened fist, "Shut up. You are our ve until you fulfill your debt, do you get it?!"


    Huntley averted his gaze with eyes moistening and hatred growling inside him.


    "And, before you think about rejecting and dying¡­" Lone grabbed Huntley''s hand and showed him the palm with a skull and crossbones tattoo.


    "If you die, the debt will be transferred to your daughter."


    Huntley''s mind finally cracked, and he epted with a weeping tone, "A-Alright¡­"


    Lone grinned and went to the front door. After opening the door, a cold wind flew inside the room.


    He took one final look at the crying Huntley, "Come on, we don''t have time to waste."


    Huntley wiped his tears and followed after Lone with a depressed look.


    ¡­


    Somewhere in the world, there was an enormous ind with sand-filled beaches, beautiful forests, green flower patches, and greenery.


    In the middle of the ind was a City that couldn''t be found on any world map. It was as big as Snowstar and even more popted.


    The ind itself was located in the Western Sea, close to Summend''s hot Continent.


    The City was named the City of Soul, and the public doesn''t even know it exists.


    It was also where a family of Souldeath resided and basically ruled the whole City. It was their secret Kingdom and their way to world dominance.


    In the middle of the City, their residence was bustling with activity. The Souldeath house was built in simr architecture as medieval castles, with some signs of modernity.


    Currently, in a spacious room of Souldeath castle, there was a meeting happening.


    The room was dimly lit with chandelier light. The curtains were wide open, and the flowers ced on vases continued absorbing the sunlight.


    There were nearly twenty individuals standing around the room while an elderly man with hunched back and wrinkly bald head sat in a soft-cushioned chair.


    A dozen chained figures with fearful, tearful looks were only arm''s length away from him.


    The old man''s name was Lord Souldeath, Patriarch of the Souldeath family.


    "Ahh¡­" His aged eyes could barely see a meter in front, but he managed to see blurry outlines of the chains and crying figures with their limbs chained.


    He grabbed his walking cane and carefully stood up with his bones rattling and legs trembling.


    Even though he looked harmless, the chained figures looked at him like he were their worst nightmare.


    "Remember¡­ Your ancestors'' debt?" His eyes were slightly open, squinted.


    The chained figures shakily nodded. The words about the debt have been spreading from generation to generation. After a dozen generations, most of them have already begun thinking they never have to fulfill the debt.


    But unfortunately for them, this year was when the debt had to be fulfilled.


    They felt like they were the world''s unluckiest people.


    "The debt¡­"


    "It has been transferred from generation to generation until the time to fulfill the debt has finallye."


    Lord pointed at each individually and said, "You all¡­ Enter White Online, and be a member of our secret army¡­ If even one soul hears about this, the curse within you will activate, and you, your family, whole lineage, will perish!"


    The tattoo on their palms shone in radiant purple.


    The chained figures bowed with fear bubbling in their faces.


    Lord walked past the bowing figures and stopped after reaching a window that showed a bustling City. Since the ind was close to Summend, the weather was scorching, and citizens of the City wore very light clothing.


    Tap! Tap!


    A tall man with shoulder-length hair stopped next to the hunch-backed man and asked.


    "Father, why did you add some random people into our secret army?"


    Lord nced at his third son, Lane Souldeath, and nodded.


    "Right¡­ You and your brothers don''t know yet¡­"


    Lane turned to look at his father and listened.


    "Their ancestors were great warriors, and their genes are still inside the current and previous generations."


    "They might not look much, but when they get their hands on weapons¡­ They are very formidable power."


    Lane nced at the tearful chained figures and asked, "Howe they owe us such big debt that their lives might be ruined?"


    "Our great ancestor defeated their ancestors in a battle using his infamous Dark Magic. After the defeat, he bound them with a curse of generations, and whoever breaks it, their lineage would end."


    "It is the most taboo magic in existence!"


    Lane''s face showed his shock, "Dark Magic? You mean he managed to use the spells found in that dusty old book?"


    Lord nodded, "Yes¡­ I have tried, but there is no magic running in my veins¡­ Unfortunately, the mana has dried up and disappeared from this world."


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Universe, far away.


    There was a world covered with harsh terrain and bubblingva pits. The whole was scorching with enough heat to kill a human within seconds.


    The trees were wrinkled, old-looking, ck trees. The ground was harsh, rocky, and flowerless.


    The sky was shrouded with dark clouds, lightning raging everywhere.


    At the center of that lightning storm was a ck castle. It was like there was a great evil living inside as even shadows were trying to run away from there.


    The hallways of the castles were empty but loud. A loud, terrified, and tearful screams echoed throughout,ing from the basement.


    The hallways were dark and soulless. The framed paintings showed images of screaming figures.


    Following the screams was theughter of demonic beings that were getting great enjoyment because of their sufferings.


    Currently, inside the dark castle''s throne room.


    "Ugh!" A figure sitting on top of a throne suddenly coughed heavily and spat out ck-colored blood.


    "Damn¡­" This figure''s name was Garmagello, Demon Lord of Seventh Heaven!

 Chapter 393 Garmagello - The World Destroyer

    Chapter 393 Garmagello - The World Destroyer


    Garmagello was a terrifying-looking being with sharp, pointy-edged horns poking through his forehead.


    His face had no signs of humanity, only limitless evil. His eyes were dark, his skin pale, and his teeth crooked.


    His somewhat muscr, broad-chested body was covered in red robes that looked like they were made from blood-covered nkets.


    His nails were sharper than any de, his fists harder than any metal, and his body durable enough to survive the world''s obliteration.


    The throne he sat on was made from bones of different creatures and living beings. The cushion was made from an animal whose body was made from soft clouds, and the armrests were made from another demon''s arms.


    Garmagello moved his finger across his lips and wiped the blood. The fingertip was now stained in dark blood that soon dried up after touching his scorching body that was as hot as hell''s fire.


    Creak!


    m!


    The throne room''s granite doors opened with a loud m, and a ghostly-looking man with tattered rags draped over his skinny body came running.


    He stopped meters away from the throne and bent his knee, "Lord Garmagello. Thest bits of rebellion were seen heading toward Valley of Red Ink!"


    "Kahahahaha¡­ I see." Garmagello stood up from his throne and stepped down the stairs, "Those insects survived¡­"


    "Should we capture them?" The ghostly-looking man asked.


    "No, we have enough ves." Garmagello then stretched his hand forward, grabbed the air like an over-inhaled balloon, and then it looked like he ripped the reality in half as a massive ripped-open hole appeared in front of him.


    His subordinate, the ghostly-looking man, looked amazed with the shimmer of worship oozing out from his eyeless sockets.


    The hole in the air showed a valley with rocky terrain andva rivers running down from the mountains, looking like massive red veins. There were also disgusting-looking four-limbed animals that looked like they crawled out from some badly-drawn fairy tale.


    Garmagello stepped inside the hole and appeared above the Valley of Red Ink. In the distance, he saw several exhausted blue-skinned figures.


    There were men and women with several children. Their bodies were covered by rags that looked like ripped-open sandbags!


    Swoosh!


    Then, the horned figure crossed the air and crashed to the rocky ground.


    CRASH!


    The ground exploded, sending dozens of destroyed debris flying around and dusty cloud.


    The blue-skinned figures halted as the dusty cloud blocked their path. Then, their worst nightmares came true as they saw a horned figure slowly climbing out of the pit.


    The horns were a source of their endless nightmares, and they knew exactly who they belonged.


    "Kahahaha¡­ Where do you think you are going?" Garmagello stepped out of the dust cloud, and his face stretched in a nightmarish way as his grin looked wider than should be possible.


    The blue-skinned figures paled in fright, and they instantly understood that death was in front of them. When they looked at their children, only endless regrets and despair were left.


    Their civilization was destroyed. The strongest warriors were killed by this horned figure, and only weak-willed people were left.


    It wasn''t far-fetched to say they were the only ones left of the blue-skinned tribe. They looked rtively simr to humans, except the skin color was vastly different.


    The man leading them was Tribe Leader of the previously prestigious Kanxan n. Now, he was only a beaten-up old man.


    He slowly knelt down with his forehead slowly leaning closer to the ground, "Please¡­ Lord Garmagello, please let us go!"


    The rest of the blue-skinned folks followed after. Even the children kowtowed with tearful faces.


    The female blue-skinned folks prayed to whoever would be listening, but they knew that Gods had abandoned them.


    "So, you want freedom?" Garmagello asked and saw everyone nodding.<del>


    ,c`o`m</del>


    "Sure¡­ Freedom is yours." His words caused everyone to have a spark of hope lighting up inside them. However, that hope was soon quenched.


    Garmagello took one quick step forward and appeared behind the blue-skinned figures. At first, they didn''t realize what had happened, but one of them fell down to the ground with their head missing.


    Garmagello turned around¡ª on top of his palm, the Tribe Leader''s head was lying. The eyes were still wide-open like he was still alive, but the eyes were dark as soon as the light dimmed down.


    "N-No!" A shocked scream came from the blue-skinned folks. The wife of the Tribe Leader burst into tears, and the children couldn''t hold it in, and a golden puddle began forming around them.


    "Hahaha¡­ Freedom!" Garmagello threw the head away and pointed toward the dark sky, "Freedom is¡­ Death!"


    Somewhere in outer space.


    The moon that circled around the world soon began moving toward Garmagello like he was the center of gravity!


    The moon''s rocky surface continued cracking until the spider-web-like cracks enveloped the whole moon.


    Therge, City-sized boulders were yanked away from the moon, and they flew straight toward the world and destroyed a huge portion of the world.


    One City-sized boulder destroyed a thousand-kilometer-wide area, which was the only result of one boulder.


    Soon, the sky was covered by hundreds of simr-sized boulders!


    Boom!


    Crash!


    KABOOM!


    The world was getting destroyed bit by bit. The ground cracked, and showers ofva-filled up the atmosphere.


    The endless waves ofva gushed out from the cracks, and soon half of the world was covered inva sea!


    Back in the Valley of Red Ink.


    The blue-skinned figures had given up. They only looked at the sky where hundreds of enormous boulders fell down while shrouded in a fire.


    Behind the boulders was the enormous moon that was half as big as the world itself!


    Once the moon touched the world''s surface, it would be goodbye.


    Garmagello slowly lowered his arm andughed, "This is freedom!"


    "You wee!"


    "I-¡­" A child, only around 10 years of age, slowly stood up with tears gushing out, "I-I hate you!"


    , ?`?`m Garmagello''s eyes turned blood red, "Good¡­ Hate me, despise me, and loathe me!"


    "THAT GIVES ME STRENGTH!"


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!


    The hundreds of thousands of City-sized boulders struck the world, and finally, the moon reached the atmosphere, and the whole surface instantly was burnt into crisps.


    Everyone still alive, hiding in their hideouts, died without knowing what hit them.


    After the moon grazed the surface of the world¡­


    Both the moon and the world exploded.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

 Chapter 394 The Demon Army.

    Chapter 394 The Demon Army.


    Somewhere in the Universe.


    Garmagello floated aimlessly while the destroyed portions of the world were crumbling apart millions of kilometers away from him.


    His previous excitement was gone, and he looked utterly bored. Not long ago, his veins were running with excitement, but it didn''tst long like thousands of times before.


    Then, Garmagello was done floating in the space and tightened his hand into a fist.


    He reeled in his fist and punched, which caused the space to crack around him. Soon, another hole appeared in front of him, and he stepped inside without any care.


    He appeared in a beautiful world filled with green flower patches, beautiful forests, and a light blue sky. The birds chirped and pped their wings in the sky, and a calm breeze of wind brushed past him.


    The world looked beautiful, untainted by any mortal hands, and holy.


    Garmagello grimaced, "Disgusting."


    He stepped on top of the flower, and instantly everything started withering away. The flowers died, and the grass became disgusting brown.


    The trees aged rapidly, and soon they were wrinkly ck trees.


    Instantly, the entire surface of the world was reced by harsh, rocky terrain. It looked exactly like the previous, now-destroyed world where blue-skinned people lived.


    Since he stepped into the world, Garmagello sensed that the world was inhabited, except for the wild animals, birds, fishes, and insects. But now, they were all dead.


    The beautiful world, with a single step, turned horrendous.


    "Much better¡­" Garmagello grinned.


    Brr!


    Something in his back pocket vibrated, bringing a sense of annoyance to Garmagello''s face.


    He pulled out the square-shaped phone-like item made with bones and dried-up skin.


    The screen flickered, and it showed a demon skull. Then, words appeared on the screen.


    He received a text from Demon Lord of Sixth Heaven. The text was such that the Demon King summoned everyone into his own world, where another meeting between all Lords and Kings was urring.


    "Sigh¡­" Garmagello pocketed his phone and grabbed the air before ripping it open. After the familiar hole appeared, he stepped inside.


    Only minutes after he left, a bright light appeared from the sky, and it softlynded on the ground.


    From the bright light, a handsome figure appeared. His golden hair reached his lower back, and his body was draped in golden robes.


    His eyes looked like two most beautiful pairs of stairs, and his body was like a sculptured masterpiece, perfect.


    A long golden cape fluttered majestically on his back, and he wielded a golden spear in his right hand.


    This man''s identity was special¡ª his name was Odin, The Supreme God.


    Odin looked around him, the destruction reached the whole, and he could still sense the fading life signals.


    "Demon was here¡­" He murmured as he grabbed a handful of burnt ash into his hand, "Another beautiful world destroyed¡­"


    "They are also getting near¡­"


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Universe, in the remote world.


    The world was another world covered in a thickyer of evil. The cknd covered the surface, withva gushing out from every crack.


    , ?`?`m Currently, a group of ten ran in the deserted wilderness. They kept ncing behind them, and it was like they could feel an eye in the sky looking at them.


    Soon, they reached an abandoned, ruined castle that was strangely built in the middle of nowhere.<del>


    ,c`o`m</del>


    m!


    They kicked the door down and hid inside the ruins. Their faces looked depressed, but their eyes still showed a glint of want for revenge.


    "They are here¡­" One of them whispered after taking a nce through a narrow crack.


    In the far distance, cloud dust appeared, and thousands of wicked-looking grinning demons soon appeared. Their long tongues yed out of their mouth, and their blood-red eyes wanted to see blood.


    "Fuck!" One of the rebels covered his face with thest strings of hope getting cut, "W-What should we do¡­"


    "Enough!" Then, a tall and muscr man came from the stairs and pped him in the head. He instantly gathered everyone''s attention.


    "How many pearls you have left?!" The tall man asked a silent-looking man who was carrying an item that looked like a gun, but it resembled a lot of the shape of a water gun.


    He opened his chamber, and inside was one innocent-looking pearl, "Only one¡­"


    "Fuck¡­" The tall man cursed, gritting his teeth with a fist ced on his chest, "Fine, today we might die, but I will take down the bastard who killed my wife and daughter!"


    The rest of the rebels slowly stood up. Their faces showed clear want for revenge.


    "LET''S KILL THESE BASTARDS!" They rushed out of the ruined castle. From their scabbards, they pulled out their weapons and screamed onward.


    The rebels that had only mere ten men fought against the deadly force of over a thousand demons.


    "DIEEE!" The tall man swung his sword and decapitated several demons. However, instantly, ten more demons stepped forth with grinning facades.


    The man, holding the water gun, aimed toward the swarm of demons and pulled the trigger.


    BOOM!


    The pearl explosively left the long barrel, and oncending on the surface, it froze over a hundred demons!


    The rebels screamed and moved forward with their weapons swinging luby of death.


    The demons didn''t seem fazed even though over a hundred of them died in that instant.


    The reason was clear, they were stronger.


    It didn''t take long for the rebels to get overwhelmed.


    The man wielding the water gun was the first one to fall. He got encircled by dozen demons and was ripped in half, with screams of pain escaping through his ripped-open mouth.


    Then, it became a domino effect, and soon, only the tall man was left standing with his body riddled with wounds.


    He was surrounded by thousands of demons, but he never gave up. In the distance, he could see the disgusting figure of a demon, who looked like a general, sitting on top of a pale-looking horse.


    That demon was the one who killed his family and took their happiness away.


    "RAAAAAAAAAAH!" He lunged forward with all his hatred and want of revenge ced on the de of the sword. Inside him, his core began spinning like a whirlwind, and every fiber of strength found in his body began running in his veins, pumping more strength into his muscles.


    With one swing, he killed a dozen demons and was already in front of the general.


    Then, he did onest swing, images of his precious wife and daughter shed in his mind, and this sword swing was the strongest he had ever done.


    However¡­


    nk!


    The general grabbed the de with his bare hand and held the tall man''s throat before crushing it!


    The tall man''s eyes lost their brilliant shine, and he died without being able to fulfill his revenge.


    "ONWARDS!" The general ordered, and the thousand-strong demon army continued marching and wreaking havoc.

 Chapter 395 The New Virtual Reality Game?

    Chapter 395 - The New Virtual Reality Game?


    Somewhere in Snowstar.


    In a dimly lit basement, a slightly moldy and rotting wood stench wafted through the cramped space, making staying in this basement very ufortable.


    However, there were several young men gathered around a small table with clothing pins clogging their noses as it was the only way to stop smelling the stench.


    One of the young men was Oliver, whose irritation was as clear as the sky. The basement belonged to one of his friends, who looked somewhat embarrassed.


    ''''Alright¡­ You know why we are here?'''' Oliver saw everyone nodding. Few of his friends looked pale and fidgety.


    ''''What is wrong with you two?'''' He asked the two young men, who couldn''t sit still.


    They looked at each other before answering.


    ''''It''s about Isaac¡­ What if he already told his parents? We would be fucked!''''


    Thick ck veins emerged from Oliver''s forehead, ''''Calm the fuck down. Isaac is fucking pussy, and is probably cowering in his bedroom.''''


    Luke and a few of his friends nodded. They knew what kind of person Isaac was, but¡­ He had changed drastically.


    ''''Didn''t you see what he could do?! He was like a force of nature!''''


    ''''SHUT UP!'''' Oliver mmed the table and stood up. The young man who spoke timidly lowered his gaze.


    ''''Stop this fucking cowardly behavior. Nothing will happen to us!'''' Since the meeting in the dark alleyway, it was like Oliver was bncing on a tight rope. With one badment, he could lose control and beat everyone up.


    ''''What should we do?'''' Luke asked. He still had his forehead bandaged and could barely remember anything about the dark alleyway. Only shes of images.


    His friends never spoke about what happened there, like they were too embarrassed to say anything. But, one thing Luke was certain of, Isaac was there.


    Oliver crossed his arms and mumbled something to himself. His friends calmly waited.


    ''''Nothing.'''' He answered, and before his friendsshed out, he continued, ''''We don''t have to do anything. I know Isaac, and he will definitely try to get some evidence against us.''''


    His friends nodded with understanding.


    ''''Just¡­ Don''t do anything.'''' Oliver said with a smile, ''''Don''t speak about this to anyone, not even each other, and don''t do anything to Isaac. There wille a time when Isaac is ruined. We just need to be calm and patient.''''


    His friends nodded, and soon, they left the smelly basement. They went to do their own things while Oliver turned around in the streets to amble toward his house.


    While walking, Oliver saw a TV disyed in the nearby store window. It showed the images of White Online.


    ''''Hmm¡­ White Online.'''' So far, Oliver''s concentration was only on Amanda, and since she didn''t y it, he didn''t bother ying it either.


    Every moment him being awake, he tried to court Amanda, but in the end, he never managed to do so. Their good rtionship turned sour after that one day.


    ''''Well¡­ Since it didn''t work out with that bitch, maybe White Online has something to distract me.''''


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Wintend, in another basement.


    This time, the basement was quitefy and warm-looking. There was carpet neatly ced on the floor, covering it thoroughly, and walls made from wood gave a pleasant scent.


    There were different arcade machines ced next to walls, and at the center of the basement was a square-shaped table with four nerdy-looking teenagers sitting.


    They all had sses with aptop ced on the table.


    ''''Alright¡­ You all know why we are here.'''' Jimmy, a young man with short brown hair, thick sses, and a somewhat skinny body, said.


    His friends, named Kent, Alistair, and Sheldon, nodded.


    ''''We are here to discuss the next phase of our game.''''


    Sheldon sighed and talked about his worries, ''''I am not too sure about this¡­ Our n is to follow after Arthur''s footprints, but he is a genius rarely seen in the world. How can we evene close?''''


    Alistair snorted and asked, ''''Didn''t you know? Arthur also built hispany from scratch in a basement such as this!''''


    ''''We four are the highest-graded students in the Northern part of Wintend. We can do this!''''


    Sheldon''s lips got tightly shut.


    ''''Alright, enough.'''' Jimmy waved away the bad air and continued, ''''Our n was to build a Virtual Reality game, such as White Online, and to do that, we need money, a lot!''''


    ''''How?'''' Kent asked.


    Sheldon and Alistair turned to look at Jimmy.


    ''''How did Arthur gather the money?'''' Jimmy asked with a knowing smile on their face.


    Sheldon pondered before replying, ''''He showed the game idea and alpha version to toppanies worldwide and got them to invest.''''


    Jimmy nodded, ''''That''s right. I have an alpha version ready, and since White Online is such an enormous hit, the chances of us getting investors are huge!''''


    ''''Not exactly¡­'''' Alistair sighed, ''''White Online has real-life currency thingy going on.''''


    ''''That''s right.'''' Sheldon and Kent nodded.


    ''''No need to worry.'''' Jimmy said with a confident look, ''''That can be added into our game too, and since White Online has a lot of great things, it has also its ws. If we remove those ws, our game can be even more popr!''''


    Sheldon, Alistair, and Kent felt their blood pumping with excitement.


    Jimmy sighed, ''''However, there is a slight problem¡­''''


    ''''I am not sure how Arthur did it¡­ But his game feels so realistic. Their game has sensory feedback that allows them to feel even breezes of wind.''''


    ''''I haven''t seeded doing that¡­ Yet, but one day I will, and that will be a day when we go search for investors!''''


    ''''Alright!'''' Alistair, Sheldon, and Kent approved the n.


    ''''One final thing¡­'''' Jimmy raised one finger and asked, ''''What will be the name called?''''


    Alistair, Sheldon, and Kent began pondering. It was one of the most crucial parts of the game, the name.


    Then, Kent smiled and stood up.


    Jimmy, Alistair, and Sheldon turned to look at him.


    ''''Since we n to rival White Online¡­ Only one name should be suitable for this, hehe.''''


    ''''What is it?'''' Jimmy, Alistair, and Sheldon looked impatient.


    Kent pushed his chest onward and said, ''''ck Offline!''''

 Chapter 396 Veil of lllusion

    Chapter 396 - Veil of lllusion.


    The Moon has always been present, only when the sun was gloriously shining in the sky when you didn''t see it.


    But it''s always there. Sometimes hiding, sometimes giving the light to the darkness.


    The Moon was famously known for its rocky and harsh environment. It seemed inhabited as there was no way anyone could live there without dying.


    However, there was a secret City, unknown to the public, hidden underneath the rocky surface of the Moon.


    The Moon City was again bustling. The streets were crowded, and City Hall was again filled.


    The sky, showing a beautiful starry sky, was shining radiantly, which was the only light the City needed. Then, there were the massive walls, and most citizens never visited there but knew what was on the other side.


    The living quarters of Gods and Goddesses!


    The Gods and Goddesses mostly live in two ces. In God Realm and Moon City.


    While the God Realm was a permanent residence for many, Moon City was more of a holiday vi.


    Currently, in one of those vis, a beautiful ck-haired woman sat gently in the soft grass while watering the nts. Her ethereal-looking body was covered in beautiful blue robes, and the veil she used to wear was hanging from the corner of her hip.


    She was Moon Goddess Selene.


    Her watering session halted as the whole Moon City suddenly trembled!


    The soil on the flower beds quaked, and the trees shook side to side. The starry sky began cracking, and shimmer of moon dust began falling down.


    The citizens started screaming in horror. If the ceiling crumbled apart, everyone would get smashed to pieces. That wasn''t the worst thing. If there were some survivors, they would die because they wouldn''t be able to breathe if they returned to Moon''s atmosphere!


    Selene instantly took action and moved across the Moon City in a split second. She couldn''t care less about the massive wall and simply flew through it!


    She appeared in the ceiling and quickly patched it with a newyer of moon rock, the most indestructible material in the universe.


    After the ceiling was secured, Selene saw the cheering crowd of citizens and dozen Goddesses flying toward the exit of Moon City. She rushed after them and followed them as they left Moon City.


    Soon, they were out of the underground and could see the beautiful World of Four Seasons in the distance.


    Then, everything changed.


    The Space began cracking, and the Moon''s surface started to break. At this rate, the Moon would be destroyed, and all life would be lost!


    "Everyone, there!" Selene took the lead and pointed toward the other way. In the distance, the Space was weirdly alternating between shapes.


    Soon, a veil of illusion that shrouded the World of White was torn apart, and the enormous world came to view that was covered in ayer of clouds!


    Selene and the rest of the Goddesses paled in fright.


    The veil of illusion hiding the World of White was finally ripped apart!


    The veil was the only reason the Demons couldn''t find the World of White and why none of the Human scientists managed to see it!


    "Oh no¡­" The Goddesses looked at each other. They all saw their fear and shock.


    "It''s not toote!" Selene''s shout attracted everyone''s attention. She flew across Space and stopped several thousand kilometers away from the World of White. Then, she spread her arms wide and started chanting.


    "Illusion, Veil of the Worlds, Activate!"


    A miraculous scene appeared. The World of White began slowly fading away. It was like a mask of invisibility was ced around it!


    The Goddesses looked shocked and quickly flew across the Space like Selene did. They went to their own positions, and twelve otherworldly-looking Goddesses soon circled around the world, chanting the exact same things.


    "Illusion, Veil of the Worlds, Activate!"


    Soon, the whole World of White was hidden behind Veil of Illusion, and the Moon''s cracking stopped as it returned to its previous state.


    Selene and the rest of the Goddesses fell to the Moon with exhaustion. Once they softlynded on the Moon, they continued lying with relief.


    Then, from behind the illusion, a lone figure flew toward the Moon. At first, the Goddesses looked wary until it changed to relief.


    God Zeus flew across the Space andnded some meters away from the group of exhausted-looking Goddesses.


    "Zeus¡­ What happened?" Selene grabbed her veil and covered her beautiful face with it.


    Zeus sighed and began talking about Garmagello. It seemed that his purpose wasn''t to taunt the Gods but instead to break the illusion apart. It wasn''t a surprise that he managed to find out the reason why it was so hard to find that one small world.


    The Goddesses looked severe. If one Avatar brought so much trouble, what happens when all Demon Lords and Demon King have gathered?


    One Demon Lord, with a real body, has enough strength to shred the illusion to smithereens.


    "The illusion was off for a few seconds¡­ Will it help them to find us?" Selene asked. That was also a Question that interested many.


    God Zeus shook his head, "No, the illusion wasn''t exactly turned off¡­ If it was, there would be no way you twelve could re-activate it."


    Selene sighed and nodded. Last time, it took a thousand Gods and Goddesses to add the Veil of Illusion after discovering the existence of World-Eating Demons.


    Then, everyone''s attention shifted toward Space. From there, Khione appeared with her baggy white robes silently pping around her. Her eyes shook as she saw the cracked surface of the Moon.


    "Khione, where have you been?" Zeus asked with furrowed brows, "The Goddesses needed your assistance."


    "I am sorry," Khione replied with her usual cold tone. But, everyone could tell that she was indeed sorry.


    Shended next to Selene and was told what had happened. Her face showed shock as Garmagello was mentioned, and even more shocked when the veil of illusion was about to be deactivated.


    "Will itst?" She asked, and now, that same question arose in everyone''s mind.


    God Zeus sighed and looked toward the invisible World of White, "Not sure¡­ But, when the Veil of Illusion is gone¡­ That will be the day when Demons arrive."

 Chapter 397 Secret Revealed

    Chapter 397 - Secret Revealed.


    Somewhere in World of Four Seasons, inside an attic of an ordinary three-floored building.


    The attic had arge, circr window that showed the blue sky and an obscure-looking moon.


    Currently, an old man with drool trailing down his chin was zooming in with arge telescope.


    Then, he saw the scene. The appearance of another world, and twelve, inhuman-looking beauties flying around the moon.


    He quickly wiped his drool and shouted, "I knew it!"


    "Years ago when I saw her on the moon¡­ I always knew I wasn''t seeing things. This is world-changing!"


    The old man quickly grabbed a more urate telescope lens from a nearby desk and reced it on the telescope. Then, he checked out the appearance of another world.


    "We aren''t alone in the universe¡­ W-Wait, is that world disappearing?!" He could see how the world was slowly fading away.


    "Q-Q-Quick, I have to take a picture!" He looked around the dusty, littered with boxes attic but couldn''t see his two-hand camera anywhere!


    "Fuck, it''s downstairs!" Quickly, the old man opened the wooden hatch and rushed toward the living room.


    Inside the living room, his children, wife, and grandchildren were talking joyfully with each other.


    Before getting the camera, he didn''t forget to gloat, "I was right! I was right!"


    Everyone turned to look at the old man, who looked like he had drunk too much coffee and was running on overdrive.


    Even his hair strands were slightly raised, making him look like a crazy scientist!


    "Dad, what is going on? Is it the blood pressure again?" His daughter, a beautiful-looking middle-aged woman, came with her medical bag already ready.


    "No!" The old man snapped at such stupid questions and said, "I saw people on the moon and another world appearing. I always knew that I didn''t see things!"


    His daughter looked worried, ''Oh no¡­ His symptoms have grown more serious¡­''


    Soon, his wife arrived next to him and held him worriedly, "M-Mathias¡­"


    Every adult in the living room sighed and looked very distrusting, except the children who eximed.


    After seeing that no one really believed him, Mathias stomped the ground and took the camera from a nearby shelf, "Fine, I will prove it, follow me!"


    He rushed upstairs with greater speed than his short legs should have allowed.


    "Dad, watch out!" His daughter worriedly called out, scared that he might fall down the stairs.


    "Follow me!" Mathias'' shout came from the second floor.


    Everyone looked at each other, sighed, and followed with not much hurry.


    Soon, Mathias was back in the attic and connected the telescope to a nearby square-shaped old TV that disyed an image of what the telescope showed.


    He was about to take a picture, but then everyone arrived in the attic with a ruckus.


    "Come look!" Mathias waved toward them, and everyone gathered around the TV.


    Mathias grinned and was about to snap a picture. But then, he saw the scene on television.


    It showed the moon as simr as ever, with no sign of any flying women ors near it.


    "W-W-What¡­"


    His wife and daughter looked at each other with concern.


    "M-Mathias¡­" His wife touched his shoulder and said, "M-Maybe it is time for you to go to retirement home¡­"


    "WHAT?!" Mathias looked at her with mouth agape, "W-We just didn''t make it in time. If I keep looking, I am sure I will be able to snap a picture or two!"


    "I know a very homely-looking retirement home. We could visit there already tomorrow!"


    "NO!"


    ¡­


    In Snowstar, a snow-filled forest.


    BANG!


    Isaac held the Flintlock Pistol with his two hands and prepared for the recoil. This time, it wasn''t as bad as he expected, and he managed to keep standing without any significant changes.


    The bullet cut straight through a thick branch, causing it to fall down to the snow pile.


    "Whew." Since he didn''t have basically anything to do today. He went to the snow forest to train.


    His uracy, even in real-life, was almost scary.


    He wiped the sweat and tossed the bag over his shoulder. Then, he was about to leave.


    Swoosh!


    Out of nowhere, therge boulder, with initials scribbled, shone brilliantly.


    Soon, a transparent figure appeared. The back of his head seemed unrecognizable, and most of his body was covered in transparent-like clothing.


    His finger was slowly grazing over the initials, and while doing so, more of his body was revealed. The hair strands turned from transparent color to have a hue of white.


    "Who are you?!" Isaac shouted with his voice shaking. Suddenly, some guy appeared from nowhere, and he could have seen him holding the gun!


    Isaac sneakily hid the gun behind his back, but he doubted it actually had any use!


    "What¡­ Year¡­ Is it?" The figure asked. His voice was charming and calming.


    "2020¡­" Isaac himself didn''t know why he answered. But the voice made him feel like he could trust him. It was like something inside him trusted the person with all its being.


    "Oh¡­ What month?"


    "November."


    The figure stopped speaking and slowly turned around. His face finally appeared.


    Isaac looked shocked, "Is that¡­ Me?"


    The figure had beautiful white hair, and the face was like a perfect sculpture that would make even Gods ashamed. His figure was tall, standing around 190cm, and his arms were crammed with explosive-looking muscles that were slightly hidden under his arms, but when they were released, the Demons would wail in anguish, and the sky would part.


    Then, it was like the figure could sense the gun Isaac was holding.


    "What is this¡­ Why are you using that?"


    Isaac slowly revealed the gun, and it was forcefully yanked from his hands.


    It hovered above the figure''s hand as he slowly crushed it with one finger.


    "HEY! What the fuck!" Isaac was, of course, pissed.


    "Where is the Silvernium?" He asked.


    "What is that?" Isaac frowned and thought it sounded strange.


    "A metal pipe that can change shapes?"


    Isaac was shocked, "How do you know about that?"


    "Why are you using toys and not it?" The figure threw the broken pieces of Flintlock pistol away.


    "What even is that item?" Isaac asked, "Did you give me that?"


    "I did¡­ I gave it to you¡­ So that you would learn to use it early¡­" The figure saw his body slowly disappearing.


    Before truly gone, he babbled, "Learn to use, quick! It will be the source of your greatest strength; one day, you will use that weapon to wipe that fucking smirk off Asmodeus'' face!"

 Chapter 398 lsaac ln Future

    Chapter 398 - lsaac ln Future.


    "Hah!" Isaac jerked awake from his deep sleep. As cold sweat drenched his back, he looked around anxiously.


    Around himy the cold snow forest.


    Therge boulder remained the same, and the figure with Isaac''s face was gone.


    "Dream..?" Isaac scratched his head and frowned after feeling nothing on his hand. When he lowered his gaze, he couldn''t find his Flintlock Pistol!


    "Eh, where it is?"


    ¡­


    In the distant future.


    "Haahhh¡­" A figure with snow-white hair, an otherworldly face, clear gray eyes, and well-defined facial features opened his eyes.


    "He is far from ready¡­" This man was Isaac Whitelock, twenty years in the future!


    "Haaahh..." After struggling to get up from his burned, broken bed, he slowly rose.


    A fire had burned the wallpaper to crisps and cracked the floor, leaving the room in ruins.


    Two of the wardrobe''s panels were ripped out, and the desk next to the window was destroyed.


    There were burn marks on the pages of the notebooks, and the cab in which they were stored was shattered.


    An image of the Snowstar City was visible through the broken window. It showed a harsh environment devoid of any vegetation or life.


    Dark clouds riven with rage shrouded the sky. There was an immense sense of darkness and an overwhelming sense of coldness.


    "Damn¡­" Isaac shuddered in the cold and spat out angrily, "Fucking bastards¡­ Why did you guys have to destroy the sun too? It''s fucking cold!"


    He stepped out of his room with anger, and the hallways were mostly gone, with holes extending to the first floor.


    The walls, formerly decorated with pictures, were charred.


    After jumping down the hole, Isaded softly on the first floor. Everything was destroyed, from the walls to the furniture to whatever food was left.


    After stepping out of the crumbling mansion, Isaac was greeted by the rusting gate with a broken sign.


    [Whitelock]


    There was only one slightly loosened screw holding the sign together.


    Creak!


    Isaac slowly opened the gate and stepped into a street so narrow it hardly qualified as a street. Several puddles ofva were pouring out of cracks in the pavement, and as the pavement melted, moreva flowed.


    Every mansion was in ruins, in an even worse state than Whitelock Residence.


    Isaac stopped breathing briefly before leaving the yard.


    Gravestones adorned every corner of the yard with names written on them.


    [Maxwell Whitelock]


    [Isabe Whitelock]


    [Alice Whitelock]


    [Maxwell Whitelock]


    [Mark Whitelock]


    [Rachel Kindheart]


    [Tom Kindheart]


    [Michael Connor]


    ¡­


    Isaac turned his back on the heartbreaking scene and saw several flying demons crossing the sky.


    As they flew over Snowstar, tall skyscrapers, buildings, and storefronts exploded into fragments!


    Previously, the City had been near destruction, but now it had been utterly destroyed!


    The anxiety on Isaac''s face increased. Then he saw the twins flying almost uncontrobly toward him in a cyclone of speed.


    For a while, they circled in the dark-clouded sky before plunging straight down.


    BOOM!


    When they hit the ground, they slowly rose to their feet. Isaac was only meters away from them when theynded.


    With their off-putting red faces and sharp tongues, they resembled each other almost exactly. Their bodies were so thin you could see through them, and their elbows and knees were blemished.


    After a quick nce, they grinned.


    "Well, well. Look who we have here¡­ The unfilial son who killed his parents and siblings. Hehe, I thought we were bad, but this guy takes the cake!" One of the twins spoke beforeughing.


    "Rahahahaha!" His twin brother also roared inughter. As they gloated, their blood-red eyes were curved like a crescent moon.


    "That''s not me..." Isaac murmured under his breath as he looked at the graves¡ªthe regret of his past filled him with sorrow.


    "What are you mumbling at, you bastard son?!" The twins held their grins in their ears as they shouted.


    After turning around and looking at their red eyes, Isaac stated, "I killed my parents. Failed to save the world, but I swear¡­ The ck Death is dead, and only The White Death remains, and I won''t stop until all you vermins are wiped out from the face of the!"


    Their expressions changed to wonder before they again burst intoughter.


    ''''Kahahahahaha, look at him!'''' The pairughed so hard that blood-red tears began to form in the corners of their eyes.


    "Humanity has surely fallen if the only human left is a murderer!"


    "AS ONLY HUMAN LEFT, THE DUTY OF EXTERMINATING DEMONS LAY ON MY SHOULDERS!"


    Isaac snapped his fingers and punched out of nowhere!


    Immediately, the demons jumped into a fighting position. Suddenly, the punch ceased, and silence descended.


    Almostughing, they opened their mouths, but then their faces revealed signs of panic.


    "W-W-WAIT!"


    Isaac watched as the space cracks ripped apart the twin demons in front of him, creating a pool of blood!


    Despite what he had just witnessed, there was still more toe!


    ''''HAAAAH, DIE DEMONS!'''' Suddenly the entire City of Snowstar was engulfed in a haze of space cracks, and every building, even the smallest pebble, was torn apart!


    Within a minute, the space crack had spread outside the City and had covered the entire Continent of destroyed Wintend!


    Every Demon walking on the ground, flying in the sky, and socializing with other demons was chopped into steak-sized slices.


    Millions of demons in Wintend perished in one attack!


    "RAAAAAAAAH!" Isaac''s shriek was loud enough to be heard by every creature in the World of Four Seasons.


    Afterward, the space cracks engulfed the whole, and every Demon still alive was killed by the cracks.


    The space cracks disappeared as Isaac slowly lowered his arm. All that remained was a deserted wastnd. Mansions were no longer standing, and graveyards had been destroyed.


    "I can''t do anything right..." Tears streamed down his face.


    "BASTARD!!!" The dark sky suddenly filled with a massive eye with a yellow/red pupil.


    As a result, the dark clouds scattered, and the lightning stopped. All that could be heard was the enraged voice of the eye.


    "This is Demon king, Asmodeus,! How dare you dirty it with your filthy presence?!"


    "SHUT UP!" Isaac suddenly held a beautiful silver gun in his hand. Dragon teeth were carved into the barrel, while a barbed tail was engraved into the weapon''s stock.


    Its pupils dted, and the eye tried to leave but was stymied by the bullet that had already left the barrel of the dragon-shaped barrel.


    "PISS OFF!"


    "THE DEATH OF ENRAGED DRAGON!"


    SPURT!


    An entire eyeball exploded from one bullet. Within moments, the entire world was covered in a disgusting, stench-filled shower of blood.

 Chapter 399 The Future War - Spark of Hope, lsaac

    Chapter 399 - The Future War - Spark of Hope, lsaac.


    The single bullet left the''s atmosphere and continued flying in the starless space. The bullet kept spinning with no seemingly any way to slow it down.


    Soon, the bullet flew past a broken-in-half moon with still frozen corpses floating in the space. All life signals were lost in the Moon City, which sat in ruins andpletely frozen.


    A short time after passing the moon, the bullet flew toward another in the distance. Over the years, the Veil of Illusion had been torn apart, and the World of White was enveloped in thick clouds of darkness.


    After breaking through the seemingly endlessyers of clouds, the bullet reached the sky above the destroyed God Realm.


    The beautiful golden buildings were no more. There''s little left of Eden''s beautiful garden, the patches of grass have been burned to a crisp, and the ground was rough and rock-scarred.


    A bullet ripped through the air andnded directly on top of the dark castle in the middle of already destroyed The God City.


    There was a figure d in dark robes and a mask dripping with blood standing in the castle''s throne room.


    A pair of razor-sharp horns poked out from under the mask, causing a feeling of terror in anyone who saw them.


    The man slowly turned his head around. Seeing an approaching bullet-shaped projectile from his window, he stood ready for action.


    "Haahhh¡­ That bastard, again." This horned figure''s name was Demon King Satan, one of the seven Demon Kings of the Universe.


    "Asmodeus, that bastard did it again!"


    Bam!


    Doors to the throne room opened suddenly, and a man with an inhumanly handsome face stood before them. In addition, he had two short, sharp horns simr to those of Satan.


    As his mouth stretched, a hideous grin appeared thatpletely transformed his handsome face into that of a demonic creature.


    "Isaac... MY RIVAL!" Aughing Asmodeus sprang through the window and flew straight at the iing bullet.


    A world-destroying punch that killed dozens of gods was unleashed by his fist.


    BOOM!


    His fist collided with the bullet, and the result wasplete annihtion.


    In an instant, half of the God Realm was shrouded in heavy pressure, and the demons near were crushed like insects.


    Demon King Satan had used his spell formation to protect the whole castle, leaving only the ck castle unaffected.


    "HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Asmodeus''ugh filled the World of White and extended through the space until itnded on Isaac''s ears.


    ¡­


    Inside the World of Four Seasons.


    "Hahahaha¡­"


    Upon hearing his nemesis''sughter, Isaac grimaced. Whenever the chance arose to travel to the World of White, he would go there to finish off the bastard forever.


    Nevertheless, he lost that power after giving his younger self a mysterious weapon called Silvernium.


    Isaac took a simple step forward and appeared hundreds of kilometers away. After hended again, he was standing outside a cave with the destroyed wilderness around him.


    He entered the cave and walked down the stone path. The end of the tunnel brought him to a small cavern-like room.


    A wooden bed was found in the room, but there was no mattress or nket. A wooden desk carved by Isaac himself stood beside a pile of things.


    Over a stack of books, there was a Mythical VR Helmet and framed photographs of his family.


    Using tuck tape, the strap holding the Mythical VR Helmet in ce was taped together due to wear and tear.


    Isaac swept one of the pictures into his hand and sat down on the bed. Surprisingly, the smiling figures in the picture had died at his hands a long time ago.


    Dark Isaac, the one younger Isaac met during the White Online test, was the Future Isaac''s real identity.


    For years, he avoided authorities and cops. Then, it was time for Humanity to be united.


    That, however, was aedy of errors.


    Humanity was never going to be united, as Arthur and the Gods realized. Theycked the link that would tie everything together.


    Following Isaac''s nomination as amander for Humanity''s army, everything went into a downward spiral.


    Every living creature despised Isaac.


    He was hated by the Humans and loathed by the Gods.


    Arthur, however, saw something good in him¡ª a glimmer of hope.


    Arthur''s authority, however, was revoked. Arthur''s carefully nned n was useless because of the greedy board of directors.


    This was due to his support of Isaac, and no one viewed it in a good light.


    Following the Demon attack, Humanity was divided into four camps, and the Gods were at war with each other.


    In less than an hour, the entire Human Race was destroyed. One after another, their greatest leaders and yers were in.


    The first to die was Lord Kalzer, the Legacy Carrier of Odin. He got killed by Demon Lord Karma, and it could be considered a ughter, Kalzer never stood a chance.


    Humanity has finally realized its mistake. They begged Arthur and the Gods to save them.


    It was toote.


    Demon Lords were enough to wipe out everyone. The Demon Kings did not even need to show their faces.


    Humanity was on the verge of destruction after 99% of its poption was wiped out. But an unlikely hero stepped up to save the day.


    And that hero was Isaac.


    It wasn''t as enjoyable to him as he thought it would be to watch everyone die around him, those who hated him, despised him, and loathed him.


    He had something inside of him, a spark of hope, as Arthur said.


    The spark ignited, and Dark Isaac vanished.


    Isaac fought alone against swarms of Demons. The number of Demons was in the millions.


    In the aftermath of the deaths of the Royal Family and citizens, he was thest person to guard the Stronglord.


    Although there was nothing left to guard, Isaac fought against waves and waves of Demons.


    By the end of the battle, Isaac had killed nearly ten million Demons with his broken body.


    When the Demon Lord of Second Heaven, Axcel, heard about it, he came to the first realm to kill that one stubborn human.


    He thought it would be as simple as washing his hands. However, it didn''t matter what he did. He couldn''t quench thest me of Humanity.


    Axcel died a bullet-riddled death after months of conflict.


    A devastating battlested months, and Stronglord was razed to the ground, a ze raged everywhere, and even the sky was torn apart.


    As a result of the Demon Lord''s death, the skies cried out, and all the Demons sensed its loss.


    Isaac thought that he would be the next to die. Shortly afterward, he discovered that all humans and gods had already passed away.


    All that remained was him.


    Despite this, he was not killed by the Demons.


    The Demon King, Lucifer, gave him a title.


    Demon Lord of Second Heaven, ck Death.


    That was the title Isaac loathed. In his attempt to fight the Demons, he did everything he could to avoid bing a Demon Lord.


    No matter what he did, he was never killed.


    Eventually, he took an unspeakable action out of despair. It was breaking the barriers between time and space.


    He traveled back in the past, so he could do everything right this time.


    He felt himself weakening and dying as he remained in the past for several minutes. It was too stressful for his mortal body.


    A quick decision had to be made.


    He triggered a massive snowstorm in the Snowstar and summoned his younger self to the forest. There, he gave Isaac the Silvernium weapon, and before leaving that timeline, he wrote his initials on a boulder which would serve as his spawn spot should he one day return to this time frame.

 Chapter 400 Auction House

    Chapter 400 - Auction House.


    Back in the present time.


    Almost a day has passed since Isaac''s strange encounter in the Snow Forest.


    The Downtime was only minutes away from being over, and the servers of White Online would be back online.


    The world awaited its return. Stores had shut their doors, and streets seemed dreary.


    The streets were littered with old newspapers, and there were no cars on the roads.


    VR Helmets were neatly ced around the heads of people in most homes while theyy on their beds, listening to the silence.


    Life was still thriving at the Whitelock Residence.


    Cleaners kept the yards clean, and bodyguards patrolled the streets.


    Maxwell and Isabe were conversing in the living room.


    Mark was ying with a handheld console in his room. He was still sulking about not being old enough to wear the VR Helmet.


    Having already entered his own room, Marvin was getting ready to get onto White Online. The helmet was carefully ced around his head as he talked on the phone.


    "Yes, yes, I''ll be online shortly." He muttered as he awkwardly removed his ne.


    Sophia was studying in her room with several school books on the desk. The sses on her face, which gave her an intellectual appearance, moved gently as she studied.


    Unexpectedly, Alice was already lying on the bed, the VR helmet firmly affixed to her head. Neither of her eyes showed emotion, nor did her body move.


    Isaac ran on the treadmill in the private gym while everyone else was doing their own thing.


    The sweatnded on the treadmill but soon dried up. Isaac''s sneakersnded on the treadmill with a powerful thud, which echoed throughout the gym.


    There was little activity in the gym, most of the bodyguards having already exercised.


    Brr!


    After running on the treadmill for a while, Isaac stopped. Pulling out his phone, he checked the time. Downtime would end in little more than a minute.


    "Already time..." He slipped the phone into his pocket, wiped his sweat, and disappeared into his room.


    Isaac took out his Mythical VR Headset and plopped down on the bed without a second thought. He softly ced the headband around his head and pressed the button on the side.


    He felt his consciousness slowly slipping away as his body was enveloped by the skinsuit.


    [Connecting...]


    [Wee to White Online!]


    [Good Luck, White Death!]

    [Wee to the World of Legacies!]


    [World of White Wees You, Legacy Carrier!]


    ¡­


    The streets of Stronglord were packed with excited-looking yers. This time, some older people were also there. Their faces exhibited more curiosity than excitement.


    Often, friends gathered together and started a loud discussion.


    A variety of older people were ying board games in the yard of various stores, ranging from Chess to ordinary card games.


    Today was a beautiful and sunny day. There were children running through the streets, as well as handsome nobles in light clothing, who attracted a lot of attention from the opposite sex.


    Isaac walked casually in the streets while weaving his way through the crowd. With more than a month of experience living in Stronglord, he knew the area well.


    In no time, Isaac arrived at the Stronglord Gates, where the Carriage Drivers spend most of their time.


    Isaac was definitely taken aback by what he saw.


    The Carriage Drivers looked humbled at everyone who walked past them. However, those who were spoken to by them looked at them with disgust and walked away quickly.


    It had been a week since the Carriage Drivers had received any money. Realm Portal became more convenient than renting carriages after it became easier to earn money, and no one needed to rent carriages anymore.


    Their method of saving money was almostical. Within thest week alone, they spent 90% of the money they earned, and now they were as poor as before the yers.


    Arrogance, money, and status all vanished within an instant. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to rent their carriages to yers and NPCs since they had mistreated them.


    "Hah..." Isaac was forced to cover his mouth. Otherwise, his lungs would have been forced to exhaleughter.


    Isaac elerated his pace, leaving the area around the gates before the Carriage Drivers noticed him. Having improved his mood significantly, he continued to hum as he casually strolled through busy streets.


    "Oh, what''s that?" Isaac''s feet, however, stopped abruptly. In front of a fancy-looking building, he saw a crowd gathered.


    Its entrance was made up of columns shaped into a wide door. A number of square-shaped windows brought light into the building.


    A triangr roof topped the building, which was quiterge. Despite only having one floor, it appeared to have arge basement.


    There were golden and silver colors in the lounge and along the stone staircase leading to the entrance. Pictures were framed in golden frames with a silver lining, and the walls were painted gold.


    In addition to a reception desk, there were two doors leading to the ground floor and to the interior.


    An auction house sign adorned the building''s top.


    The word auction got Isaac''s attention. After that, he joined the crowd and learned there would be an auction tonight with items from other realms.


    Supposedly, legendarily powerful weapons, rare ingredients, and unbreakable armor were being sold.


    Isaac ambled through the crowd and entered the auction house. Each framed picture disyed an item with a price tag beneath it. They were all previously sold items, and the price tags indicated how much they sold for.


    As Isaac looked at the prices, his eyes almost burst out of their sockets. There were some with over 1 million, and the highest was nearly 5 million!


    "Excuse me, may I be of assistance?" The woman sitting behind the reception desk nced at him as he wandered aimlessly and approached him.


    "Do you have a catalog of tonight''s auction items ready?" Isaac asked and received nod from the receptionist. She returned to her desk and soon returned with her hands holding a thick book she picked up from the desk.


    Gratitude radiated from his face as he browsed through the pages of the book. When he reached page 56, he stopped after flipping through half the book.


    The moment he returned to those pages, he was as if his mind exploded. On that page, an ingredient that he desperately needed was for sale in tonight''s auction.


    [Oil of Dreams]

 Chapter 401 The Millions on Sight

    Chapter 401 - The Millions on Sight.


    ''Oil of Dreams¡­ The third ingredient for Dream Potion¡­ I need that!'' Isaac''s eyes showed a hint of red.


    The receptionist looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She had encountered people like Isaac before. Whenever the auctiones around, they can never afford to bid for something they really want.


    "Thanks..." Isaac returned the book to the receptionist before leaving.


    Isaac trekked in the streets, scratching his hair as his feet moved, trying to brainstorm a way to double his money in ten hours.


    With only 500k, he seriously doubted that he could buy something as valuable as an item from another realm.


    Particrly if there were people who knew how important Oil of Dreams was. Perhaps the price might even go as high as 10 million!


    Isaac knew the money was impossible to gather, but he believed no one should be aware of its importance. After all, no one came after him to try to steal the Resin of Dreams.


    His goal was to obtain a million coins, at least. That was much harder than everything he had done so far. He can''t grow White Coins on trees.


    The chances of him earning more than 100k are slim regardless of whether he goes on a rampage and kills all the monsters in 10 hours.


    Isaac''s feet halted, and his eyes fixed on a group of gangster-looking yers seated around a table in front of the cafe.


    They appeared to be quite well off, as their outfits looked incredibly expensive.


    ''Steal... Damn, should I?'' Isaac never considered stealing from other yers. Especially now that the White Coins are as valuable as real money.


    Unlike others who lose all sense of humanity and do everything to earn white coins, Isaac never considered doing this.


    However, this time, the ingredient he needed was only a few steps away, and who knows, another one might not be found for months.


    Luna didn''t have that much time. She was constantly battling the Winter Illness, which wreaked havoc in her heart and threatened to kill her.


    One of the cafe''s doors opened, and a woman with a tray of coffee cups walked toward the group of gangsters, a look of apprehension on her face.


    After giving everyone their cups, she turned around to leave. Then, she flinched in fear as a hand touched her buttocks.


    "Hahahaha!!" Smirking, the gangstersughed. The fear already filled her as she skittered back into the cafe.


    Then, a timid yer appeared from an alleyway and halted in front of the gangsters, who looked at him with disdain.


    The timid-looking yer handed a pouch full of white coins to another yer who seemed to be their boss.


    "Hmm..." Stephen, the boss of the gang, counted the coins before waving his hand and saying, "Now, fuck off!"


    This timid yer bowed three times before running off with his tail tucked between his legs.


    During the confrontation, Isaac sneakily listened, and his lip curved slightly upward, "Yeah¡­ I am so gonna steal from them."


    After looking around the street for a moment, he walked out without letting the gangsters see him. Isaac made his way to a clothing store and began looking for clothes.


    While there, he purchased a mask for 100k. Despite its high price, it had practical applications.


    When the mask was worn, the yer tag disappeared. In addition, the mask stuck deeply into his skin, and other yers could not remove it.


    After Isaac slipped the mask on, it immediately stuck to his face. White was the predominant color of the mask, with two horns poking through the forehead.


    His gray eyes were visible through two holes in the mask, and the teeth were painted in such a way that they appeared sharp and deadly.


    His overall appearance, with the mask, was strong and dangerous.


    When he caught the attention of the street yers, they flinched and scurried away.


    Isaac smiled under his mask, and shortly afterward, Stephen and his gang of well-dressed gangsters left the cafe.


    While still hiding in the crowd, Isaac followed shortly after. The camouge outfit he was wearing now was ck, making it hard to spot him without specially looking for him.


    Stephen and his gangsters arrived in the slums shortly thereafter. They continued to wander through the streets in a casual manner. The men soon found themselves in front of a crumbling building whose walls barely remained intact.


    It appeared that the walls had been burnt, and the floor was riddled with holes.


    In the back room, a man dressed in all ck manned a door that led to the basement.


    As Stephen approached, he nodded and opened the door.


    After they left, Isaac stepped into the broken-down building and stood by the doorway. The ck-d guard was barely visible to him.


    Isaac threw a small rock into the corner of the room. Hearing themotion, the guard produced an enormous hammer from his bag.


    In his careful approach to the noise, he didn''t take a look at the doorway as he walked past.


    Then, Isaac moved and struck the guard in the head.


    "UGH!" The guard fell to the floor with his HP slowly dwindling, "Wh¡ª"


    Isaac already had his gun loaded and rested its barrel on the guard''s nape before he was able to scream.


    Bam! Bam!


    He then fired Icy Shots at the guard, and soon the whole body of the guard was encased in ice. The guard''s health rapidly declined, and he died shortly thereafter.


    Isaac walked quickly through the creaking floors to get to the basement.


    Meanwhile, the rest of the gangsters took care of their own business in different parts of the basement.


    As soon as Stephen saw the safe, he opened it. Throughout it, there were many leather pouches filled with White Coins.


    After storing another pouch inside the safe, he was about to close it. However, a small rock flew across the room andnded on a blue crystal hanging from the ceiling.


    Instantly, the basement wentpletely dark.


    "Eh, what the fuck?!" Stephen asked, staring into the ckness. His friends were shouting frantically, but none of them understood what was going on.


    One of the gangsters then brought Stephen antern that was only well-lit enough for him to see.


    Stephen turned around in dismay. Before closing the safe''s door, he thought that he saw something, but then light flooded the safe.


    The safe was empty!


    There were hundreds of pouches missing. Not a single White Coin remained!


    "WHAT?!"


    "WE HAVE BEEN ROBBED!"


    "WAS IT FUCKING YOU?!" Stephen screamed at the man who held thentern.


    "N-No!" The man clutched thentern with terror in his voice.


    "LIAR!"

 Chapter 402 The Beginning of the Auction

    Chapter 402 - The Beginning of the Auction.


    After seeding in his heist, Isaac ran into his rented room, his heart pounding with excitement and his body shaking uncontrobly.


    He went to his bed and pulled all the pouches out of his inventory. His bed soon became a sea of white coins.


    In a sh, Isaac''s interface was full of White Coins.


    [1,869,056 White Coins Acquired!]


    "Wow!" Isaac covered his mouth andughed quietly to himself. He now has a fortune of over two million dors.


    His auction preparation wasplete.


    The leather pouches were thrown into Isaac''s inventory casually. Then, Isaac waited for the night to arrive.


    ¡­


    The sky over Stronglord turned dark, and the whole city was bathed in beautiful blue and yellow lights.


    As the front of the Auction House bustled with activity, several beautiful women weed the people inside and handed out the catalog of today''s items.


    "Wow, so many rare items!" One of the yers and his girlfriend eximed after seeing the hundreds of valuable items.


    "Honey, will you buy something for me?" She grabbed his arm tightly and tucked it between her breasts.


    "Haahh..." The yer could not help but sigh internally and wanted to refuse, but he would be dumped soon enough. Several items were on his wish list, but his girlfriend wanted anything that looked cute.


    His White Coins are usually spent on her. Which made him wonder, why the fuck was she dating her in the first ce?


    It was evident that she was beautiful and just his kind of girl. However, at this rate, he would go broke!


    Then, he felt his girlfriend''s hold tightening after not receiving an answer, "Honey¡­ Why aren''t you answering?"


    "Yes, babe... "The yer answered with a defeated look and was dragged into a brightly decorated room by her now cheerful girlfriend.


    Suddenly, a carriage sped through the road, almost hitting several yers. It forced the crowd of yers to move aside as it stopped in front of the auction house.


    The yers seemed quite disgruntled and felt very tempted to speak their minds to the carriage-carried person. Their path to a carriage was blocked by several level 200 Guards. The person inside the carriage seemed to be someone of considerable importance.


    The carriage''s doors opened, and a ck-haired teen stepped down the stairs with a lofty expression. The way he looked at everyone was like looking at an ant colony waiting to get stepped on.


    [Lynch]


    There were many exmations of shock from the nearby crowd when the yer''s name was announced. The yer Lynch had quite a unique rtionship among the yer base.


    His father was the famous Guild Master of Monarch. This was a Guild for Master sses and was arguably one of the wealthiest Guilds in all of the Stronglord.


    Following his footsteps, Lynch also became Trap Master. Nevertheless, one could argue that his skill was mediocre. In contrast, his inventory was filled with poison potions, healing potions, and traps made by his father.


    While his level was only 80, he was capable of killing a level 120 yer.


    Lynch was not someone anyone wanted to be the enemy of because that would make them the enemy of Guild Monarch, an influential guild.


    Having pushed the yers to the side, Lynch had no problem ascending the stairs. He ripped the auction catalog out of the woman''s hand and arrogantly walked into the auction hall.


    The yers resumed their swarming inside the building after he left.


    A pair of elderly folks walked along the streets straight toward the Auction House. They were Malcolm and Madison. It was impossible to ignore the attractiveness hiding underneath their wrinkles.


    They followed the crowd of people and soon received the catalog of items. While slowly trekking toward the auction hall, they skimmed through the items and soon saw the item they came for.


    "Hmm¡­ Do we have enough white coins?" Madison asked.


    "I think we do." Malcolm nodded, "We already managed to repay Andrew the one million white coins, and our business is bustling. It is only a matter of time before we are lead suppliers for nobles."


    Madison nodded, "What did Andrew say the other day?"


    Malcolm shrugged, "He was pleased, but our sales need to be doubled this month."


    "Doubled¡­ That''s doable." Madison grabbed Malcolm''srge hand and stepped inside the auction hall with him.


    There were close to two thousand seats avable, but over half of them were already upied.


    At the end of the hall was a stage with a red carpet draped over it that concealed every item behind it.


    The ceiling lights were already illuminated with yellow crystals, and a loud discussion was taking ce among the yers.


    There were three sections avable for seating. A wealthy NPC''s upied the right section. The center seating had the most seats, and everyone who entered the auction could sit there.


    On the left, there was the wealthy yers'' side. Madison and Malcolm also sat there. Only several rows in front of them, Lynch was seated among his bodyguards and butlers.


    More yers and NPCs flooded into the auction hall as its doors remained open. Finally, a familiar white-haired man entered the auction hall.


    After seeing the three seating areas, Isaac was confident he had enough wealth to enter the left side but was seated in thest row of the center seating area.


    The white mask covered his face, but his white hair remained visible, and his gray eyes could be seen through the eyeholes.


    By the end of the next ten minutes, the auction hall was full, and the doors closed. NPCs and yers who didn''t make it in time had no choice but to leave the building.


    A dim light engulfed the crystals on the ceiling, and the yellow crystals faded away. In contrast, the lighting above the stage became brighter while the seating area became darker.


    An attractive woman was pushing a cart toward the center of the stage. A bow was shown on the cart, and everyone''s attention was drawn to it.


    The first item had been delivered for auction.

 Chapter 403 Book of Spellcasters

    Chapter 403 - Book of Spellcasters.


    A middle-aged man with bushy hair and thick sideburns stepped out from behind the stage and strolled alongside the cart.


    A beautiful woman pushed the cart, bowed, and left the stage.


    "Wee, everybody." said the auctioneer.


    p! p!


    pping reverberated throughout the auction hall as everyone pped their hands together.


    When the auctioneer took the bow into his hands, he pulled the string to demonstrate its flexibility. With each pull of the string, the weapon''s wooden frame glowed a brilliant blue, and heavenly voices rose out of it.


    A lot of history was attached to this weapon, as yers immediately recognized it. In spite of its rarity, it appealed to many due to its historical value.


    After cing the bow back on the cart, the auctioneer announced, "The first item for today is this bow."


    "The bow is called The Archer''s Chorus. It had been owned by old Huntsman, who was too old to continue being a hunter at the end of his life.


    "This bow was his most prized possession, and he used it for hunting more than a thousand mountain beasts, including the Fire-Breathing Wolf."


    "Wow!" Astonished reactions came from the audience.


    Following that, the auctioneer stated, "The starting bid will be 50,000!"


    In contrast to the quiet left and right seats, the center seats were extremely busy. Numerous yers were engaged in a discussion regarding that weapon. The majority of those yers were Archers.


    Then, one of the yers raised his hand and shouted, "51,000!"


    Other yers joined in the bidding war after he raised his arms.


    "52,000!"


    "52,500!"


    "53,000!"


    The bidding war continued until it reached 70,000. In the hall, the auctioneer noticed many people debating whether to put more money on the table for such a weapon.


    "70,000 is the current bid." The auctioneer spoke, "The historical significance of this weapon cannot be overlooked."


    They gritted their teeth, and for many, 70,000 was already above their budget. With the price of even the first item, what are their chances of winning anything more?


    Seeing no one interested in bidding, the auctioneer announced, "70,000, going once! Going twice¡­"


    "Sold for 70,000 White Coins!" And just like that, the auctioneer announced the winning bid.


    There was an Archer, pumping his fist in the air, cheering among the sea of yers. After spending so much money on that weapon, he had no other reason to remain in the Auction House. After leaving the hall, he went to pay for the weapon.


    "Hmph, a weapon for peasants," Lynch thought. Such cheap and low-ranking weapons didn''t appeal to Lynch. The clothes he wore alone were Epic Ranked, let alone the trap-making tools he used.


    The majority of items were as expensive as a bow, with a few slightly more expensive. So far, not even one thing had crossed the 100,000 mark.


    Then came the tenth item. The cart had a dusty old book with no interesting content on top.


    However, the auctioneer seemed extremely confident about this item.


    Everyone in the hall stared at it with frowns on their faces, wondering what it was. They usually found books like this in their grandparents'' basements.


    A sly smile spread across his face as he said, "It''s time for the tenth item, and it''s quite a special one...".


    The dusty old book was found in Third Realm, Autumn Realm!"


    "It is Spellcaster Book, Attribute Earth!"


    "If Spellcaster read the whole book. They would gain Earth Attribute, and the book also has skills for that specific attribute!"


    As his words resonated in the minds of the yers, there was uproar in the hall.


    Despite its size, the book looked like the greatest treasure in the world to the Spellcaster yers. But, they weren''t the only ones eyeing the book.


    There were many parties and guilds among the yers in the auction hall. They would greatly increase their guild''s strength if they were to give that book to their Spellcaster team member!


    It didn''t suit the NPCs, and they sighed in disappointment. Spellcasters didn''t exist among NPCs, which was fair concerning their power levels.


    "Hmm, it''s alright." Lynch stroked his imaginary beard and whispered a few words into his butler''s ear.


    "The bidding will start from 200,000!" The starting bid caused everyone''s jaws to drop. Only a moment ago, not even one bid had risen above 100,000. Now, the starting bid was twice as much!


    A majority of the spellcasters slumped their shoulders and looked depressed.


    Then, one Spellcaster from the left side of the seating area stood up and shouted, "210,000!"


    That marked the beginning of the bidding process for everyone wealthy enough to purchase it.


    "230,000!"


    "250,000!"


    "255,000!"


    The red-faced yers continued shouting their bids. The pain in their hearts became worse with every shout. The amount they bid was not a small sum.


    Soon, the bidding had exceeded 500,000. The speed of bidding slowed down at that point. A Spellcaster seated on the left side of the room was sweating profusely.


    The crazy amount he bid coincided with the limit of his budget.


    Then, the auctioneer shouted, "500,000, going once¡­ Going twice!"


    "700,000!" A single voice silenced the whole hall. Lynch raised his left arm in a grin of assurance, drawing everyone''s attention.


    The Spellcaster''s body went limp, "700,000¡­ W-Who the hell can fight against that¡­ He said it so casually too¡­"


    "700,000 bid, going once¡­ Going twice¡­"


    "SOLD!"


    "Heh." Lynch smiled smugly and gave his butler a pouch stuffed with white coins.


    His butler bowed and went to pay for the item. Several minutester, he returned bearing the dusty old book.


    Lynch opened the book and leafed through it. Since he was the Trap Master, he didn''t understand a word.


    With a shrug, he threw it into his inventory, "I guess father can find some use for it."


    He almost caused the spellcasters to spit blood when they heard him. To him, the treasured book seemed unimportant. As though it were trash that could be thrown away at will.


    It was valued so highly that it could double a Spellcaster''s power!

 Chapter 404 Sword of Kyle

    Chapter 404 - Sword of Kyle.


    After the tenth auction item, there was a short break of ten minutes. yers of the Spellcaster ss were still mourning the loss of the book that could have greatly benefited them.


    With a ss that could not be further from Spellcaster, Lynch obtained it.


    "Hmm, what is this? "Lynch asked as he pulled an item from his inventory. A jewel-encrusted hilt adorned the edge of the saber. At first nce, it did not look like a weapon that could be used in battle. Instead, it looked like a wall decoration.


    "Young master. It is the item you got from that..." The butler hesitated for a moment, struggling to remember the yer''s name.


    "It was that rude yer who collided with you on the streets."


    "Oh." Lynch snorted and tossed the weapon back into inventory. "These useless items clog up my inventory."


    A wry smile crept across the butler''s face. Everything his young master owned would be enough to pay his rent.


    Ten minutester, the break was over. The auctioneer returned to the stage, followed by a beautiful woman pushing a cart.


    A yellowish-dyed worn-out paper sat on the cart this time. The paper was scribbled on, and drawings were drawn.


    All of the yers leaned closer to examine the item. They were attracted by the drawings because they seemed to lead somewhere with X-drawn.


    "This is a treasure map that takes you to the ancient burial ground of Mythical Figure!" The auctioneer started with breathtaking words.


    All those present gasped in surprise.


    "And¡­ There have been rumors of Mythical Legacy being hidden there, somewhere!"


    "What?!" The yers eximed, and the hall immediately grew loud with shouts and discussions.


    Their eyes turned red, and they were gasping for breath. Everyone regarded the treasure map as the most precious thing in existence.


    ''This could be my way for World Domination¡­''


    ''Mythical Legacy¡­ My treasure!''


    ''I have to get it¡­ I have to!''


    The yers had different thoughts, but all of them led to one conclusion. They had to get the treasure map!


    Lynch, surprisingly, looked disinterested, ''Only Mythical¡­ Hmph, in front of my Godly Legacy, everything else is simply mediocre!''


    Then, he thought, ''But¡­ Seeing the looks of others. The idea of tearing their hopes to shreds would be funny.''


    After seeing the intense reactions, the auctioneer smiled, "The starting bid is 500,000!"


    "550,000!"


    "560,000!"


    "600,000!"


    Within seconds, yers began shouting their bids, and the price shot up quickly until it stopped rising after 800,000.


    Lynch tapped his armrest and then got up after noticing everyone had stopped bidding, "900,000!"


    "Gasp!" The yers gasped, and many, who were about to bid, sat down with despair. It was clear that Lynch was being savaged by the crowd, as several hostile looks were directed at him.


    Lynch snorted and thought that the bidding war had ended.


    However, one voice resounded throughout the room.


    "1 million."


    The auctioneer, as well as all the participants, were shocked.


    "What are you doing?" Lynch asked, looking back at the person who bid against him. A woman sitting not far from Lynch had a cold appearance. With bangs going over musky eyes, she had disheveled ck hair that reached her knees.


    Her pale skin and eerie appearance could easily fool the casual observer into thinking she was a ghost.


    She sat among twelve well-dressed priests. It appeared that they were from the same Guild as the ghost-looking woman.


    ''What are they doing here?'' Lynch grimaced, ''I thought they weren''t that fond of betting any material wealth and only gave it to their Gods.''


    "1 million, going once, going twice¡­"


    The auctioneer looked again at Lynch, who shook his head, having no intention of betting against her.


    "SOLD!"


    Afterward, the ghost-like woman and the priests left. As the hall filled with the scent of her perfume, many groaned. Her perfume engendered strange feelings. There was an initial smell of flowers, then of damp dirt.


    ''Who was that?'' Isaac, seated in the back row, turned slightly to look at the ghostly woman. There was something strange about her, but Isaac couldn''t wrap his finger around it.


    From the eleventh item on, more items were pulled from backstage and sold fast. The items were significantly cheaper, which made them more essible to yers with less wealth.


    Soon, it was time for the 41st item.


    Everyone eximed in surprise when they saw the item atop the metal cart. A beautiful blue crown adorned with sparkling jewels stood atop the cart.


    They were captivated only by its beauty. This was all the yers cared about, so they grew disinterested.


    However, there were several female yers that begged theirpanions to buy it for them. But, it was a long shot because the starting bid started from 100,000!


    Right away, Malcolm stood up and shouted, "300,000!"


    Everyone was shocked by such an extraordinary increase. It was assumed that the old man was a fool who wanted to please his wife, who coincidentally sat next to him.


    There was no bidding war, and no one spoke up.


    Then, the auctioneer said, "Going once¡­ Going twice¡­ Sold!"


    Malcolm sighed in relief and left the hall with Madison. The item they came for was sessfully acquired!


    At that moment, Isaac stood up in shock and saw the retreating backs of his grandparents, ''Grandpa¡­ Grandma¡­ They are also ying?''


    ''Why did they bid so much for some¡­ Crown with the seemingly only value being an item of decoration?'' He sat down with those thoughts riddling inside his mind.


    Then, the following item was shown on the stage. It continued until it was time for the 50th item.


    Among the contents of the scabbard was a beautiful sword hilted with a beautiful de.


    With images of phoenixes and white-furred tigers carved on the scabbard, it was beautifully decorated.


    "Now¡­ It is time for thest ten items to be auctioned!" The auctioneer shouted, which brought everyone out of their stupor.


    They were shocked to know that only ten items were left. In a short period of time, so many items had already sold that they didn''t realize how quickly time had passed.


    "We are starting with this¡­ This is a legendary-ranked sword, named Sword of Kyle!"


    "L-Legendary?!" The yers were shocked due to the fact that legendary-rank items were almost impossible to find without incredible luck!


    "Heh¡­ Finally." Lynch grinned, and it was finally time for the items he was waiting for, "It''s time to party¡­"

 Chapter 405 lsaacs Bid

    Chapter 405 - lsaac''s Bid.


    "The starting bid is 500,000!" The auctioneer shouted. This low starting bid was the result of a number of important factors. The idea was to start low and let yers engage in a bidding war, which would easily drive the price past the estimation.


    Unfortunately, one individual threw a wrench into things.


    "600,000!" Lynch shouted and turned to face the crowd, "Whoever bids against me is officially enemy of Guild Monarch!"


    A silence fell over the yers who were about to bid. Gritting their teeth, they lowered their heads and averted their gazes in disgust.


    The auctioneer became furious, "Young one, you cannot use your status to threaten others!"


    "Otherwise, you will be officially banned from our establishment!"


    "Oh, sorry then," Lynch replied with a wave of his hand. Yet, despite this, he still stared at the yers with an insatiable grin wrapping around his face.


    All the yers gulped hard. They didn''t want to make Lynch their enemy.


    The auctioneer gritted his teeth. In the auction house that was heavily favored by the Royal Family, it surprised him that anyone would use his status so aggressively to threaten others.


    However, since no one dared to wager against Lynch, he had to dere him the winner.


    "Going once, twice, sold." He nodded to the beautiful woman as she returned the sword to the backstage area.


    "Heh, here." Lynch handed his butler a pouch of coins, who went to fetch the sword.


    After a short time, he returned with the sword and scabbard. Lynch held it up, traced a finger along with its scabbard, and was stunned by the craftsmanship.


    He then unsheathed the sword to find a reflection of himself on the de.


    With the sword unsheathed, every yer felt a level of pressure they had never experienced before. A full-fledged disy of the incredible might of the legendary sword was on disy.


    Sword of Kyle was infamous for its ability to take away the light of hope from its enemies. Once this was unleashed upon his enemies, they would be overwhelmed with despair as their lives were being ripped apart before their very eyes.


    "Excellent sword!" Lynch sheathed the sword and tossed it into his inventory. He felt very pleased with this purchase as it was the first item since the beginning of the auction that he had felt pleased with.


    The 51st item was then revealed on stage. The auctioneer was about to describe the item after it was rolled to center stage. Lynch, however, beat him to it.


    ''''500,000!" Lynch prodded his palm with his chin and grinned when he observed the auctioneer''s enraged expression.


    "How much money he has?!" The yers eximed.


    "So cool..." Some female yers sighed with their gazes heavy with love.


    The auction continued with Lynch''s winning spree. The other bidders were terrified of going up against him.


    As time passed, the auctioneer grew increasingly frustrated. The auction house started losing a lot of money after several items were sold for far less than the estimated value.


    Then, it was time for the 56th item.


    A bottle containing green liquid was in the middle of the cart.


    The liquid appeared quite oily, and a pleasant smell emanated from it as it soaked into the cork.


    "Hmm, what is this?" Lynch leaner closer and eximed, "What a delicious scent!"


    The yers closed their eyes and sighed with pleasant looks. This was immediately perceived to be a perfume of some kind.


    Honey and roses carried the scent in addition to wintergreen, cherry, and apple wood. When the scents werebined, they smelt very strong andforting.


    "Honey, please buy this for me!" A dark-haired yer sighed as his girlfriend tightly hugged him, with the aim of clinging onto him until he agreed to buy the item.


    "I will try¡­" The yer replied and received a kiss on the cheek from his girlfriend. A heavy sigh was heard as he nced at his white coins. 78,800 was all he had, and he didn''t think that was enough.


    Still, his girlfriend was in a state of mind that she would get it. After a long sigh, he decided that perhaps they should break up.


    "This is Oil found in Dream Realm and one of the rarest items of today''s catalog!"


    "Dream Realm, what is that?" The yers whispered with each other.


    "I thought there was only Summer, Autumn, Spring, Winter, and God Realm?"


    "I guess White Online was bigger than we thought¡­"


    "The starting bid is 100,000!" The auctioneer shouted.


    "Heh¡­" The dark-haired man slumped down on his chair. He wouldn''t be able to make even one bet.


    "Honey, why aren''t you betting?!" His girlfriend screamed next to his ear.


    Her blonde girlfriend had an almond-shaped head, a pair of round blue eyes, and rosy lips, and he sighed deeply as he looked at her. She was dressed in a red gown, and she had curvaceous, long legs.


    "Maybe it''s time for us to break up."


    ''''WHAAAAAAAAT?!''''


    In the left seating area, Lynch stood up and raised his hand, "500,000!"


    Immediately following the jump in the bid, the yers swallowed their words. What a ridiculous amount for such a simple product!


    "Heh." Lynch sat down and crossed his legs. The confidence in his voice was obvious.


    As the yers contemted whether to bid, the auction hall fell silent. They thought the item would be extraordinary since it came from an unfamiliar realm.


    The auctioneer narrowed his eyes, ''If no one bids for this either¡­ Might as well stop the auction early before the more expensive items are sold for¡­''


    ''With this bastard here, I can''t sell anything above estimated¡­''


    Then, one yer stood up from the center seating area with a pale face, "6-600,000!"


    "Eh?" Lynch stared at the yer with a critical eye.


    The yers eximed that someone had the audacity to bid against Lynch, the young master of Guild Monarch!


    The yer timidly sat back down, ''N-Now I have done it¡­ B-But, I can feel it¡­ This item is extraordinary, and maybe it can take me out of my state of ordinary!''


    "Wow, look at him. Tough guy, eh?" Lynch guffawed in a threatening manner before he stood up once more, "700,000!"


    The timid yer''s eyes widened in surprise, ''Why is he bidding so much? Is he doing this out of spite?!''


    The amount was already more than he could afford.


    Lynch looked at him like he was an ant, then sat down.


    The auctioneer sighed and opened his mouth, "Going once¡­ Going twice¡­"


    "So¡ª"


    "One million!" A single voice silenced the auctioneer and everyone else.


    Lynch turned his head in the direction of the masked man with stone gray eyes and took a nce at him.


    As Isaac turned his stone gray gaze toward Lynch, he stood up, exhibiting great strength. An immense pressure hung over the entire hall as two eyes shed.

 Chapter 406 lnsane Bidding War!

    Chapter 406 - lnsane Bidding War!


    "Who are you? Take off your mask!" Lynch''s enraged voice soared across the hall andnded on Isaac''s ears.


    Isaac stared at Lynch with a cold look in his eyes. A cold chill swept through Lynch''s back, making him sit back down, cold sweat gushing from his forehead.


    His bodyguards rushed to his side. As 200-leveled NPCs pulled their weapons from their sheathes, they fought off the pressure.


    "WEAPONS AREN''T ALLOWED HERE!" The auctioneer''s powerful shout caused the bodyguards to crash to the floor. Due to the heavy pressure, their heads got further buried beneath the floor, and their pupils slowly turned white.


    The bodyguards copsed, their bodies limp, their mouths tightly shut, and their foreheads drenched in blood.


    Lynch looked toward the auctioneer with a shocked look, mouth wide-open, and pupils shrunk, ''My father''s treasured NPC bodyguards were beaten down by aura alone?!''


    ''Who is this auctioneer?! He isn''t ordinary!''


    "Hmph." The auctioneer flicked his sleeves and shouted, "Current bid, one million. Going once, going twice¡­"


    "1.1 million!" Lynch immediately shouted back.


    The hall erupted in a frenzy. Neither the yers nor the NPCs could contain their shock when they saw the two yers. Their bids only just began, and now the highest bid item for today may be revealed!


    "1.2 million!" Isaac instantly quipped back with no visible emotion visible in his body. People stared at the mask, wondering what type of face was underneath.


    "1.3 million!" Lynch shouted furiously as he dug his finger into his palm without caring that his skin might rupture.


    "1.4 million!" Isaac shouted back. The yers seated around him looked at him like he was the incarnation of God.


    Because they didn''t fight Lynch, they were delighted that someone did. Though they felt very satisfied, they did not believe that Isaac would win.


    Lynch had shown his limitless wealth.


    m!


    Lynch struck the armrest, which was slightly cracked as a result of the strength of his punch. The butler gulped and sneakily notified his master that his son was about to lose control.


    "1.5 million!" Lynch''s hand trembled as he shouted. The heartbeat was pounding, adrenaline was coursing through his veins, and the blood vessels protruded as his fists crackled slightly.


    The yers were absolutely shocked at such an astronomical sum. Even though the amount was actually not that much in the eyes of the wealthy in real-life.


    The White Online was vastly different. The wealthy weren''t even nearly as wealthy as the real-life ones.


    There are not many White Coins the yers have umted yet, and only recently have they learned about their importance.


    The richest yer might have only around 10 million, while the Top Guilds might be closing in on 20 million mark.


    That makes 1 million incredibly valuable in everyone''s eyes.


    The 1.5 million was already way above Lynch''s own wealth. After all, he had spent a lot of money on the previous items. His limit was getting closer, and even though he was in a state of rage, he wasn''t stupid.


    The auctioneer''s gaze went over the yers andnded on Isaac. The reflected white of the mask was visible in his ck eyes, and the contour of his mouth was slightly upward.


    "1.6 million!"


    "Argh!" Lynch grabbed his chest, and the feeling of his heart beating rapidly made him light-headed.


    "Y-Young master, maybe we should stop." The butler tried to make him stop. However, Lynch only pped his worries away and gritted his teeth with hateful words seeping through.


    "No¡­ I will win this!"


    "1.8 million!" Lynch''s shout silenced the whole hall. The yers widened their eyes in shock, and the NPCs covered their mouths in shock.


    The amount of money was simply way above what the assumed perfume was worth.


    The dark-haired man looked at his ex-girlfriend, "And you think I could have afforded it?"


    His ex-girlfriend shakily turned around to look at him, "I-I am sorry."


    "Fuck you."


    Outside the auction hall.


    "Hmm, what is this ruckus?" A silver-haired man came from downstairs and asked the Guards.


    The Guards saluted and said, "A bidding war is happening!"


    "Oh, how much?"


    The Guards looked at each other and gulped.


    "1.8 million!"


    "Ptui!" The silver-haired man spat out his drink and asked while wiping his lips, "It''s already time for thest item? I thought it should take half an hour more.


    "No, sir, it''s the 56th item!"


    "WHAT?!" The silver-haired man eximed, "It''s just oil. Why is it being sold out for so much?"


    "Maybe¡­ We mistook its importance? Is it actually heavenly treasure?!''


    "N-No, sir." The Guards shook their heads, "I-I think it''s simply a matter of pride and arrogance."


    "Hmm?" The silver-haired man looked interested. He stepped inside the open doors and saw two men standing up with shocked-looking yers watching the scene with turmoiled emotions.


    The auctioneer raised his head and was shocked to see the silver-haired man.


    The silver-haired man spread his arms around, basically asking what the hell was happening.


    "Haahhh¡­" The auctioneer scratched his head, and pointed at Lynch, then shook his head. Then, he pointed at Isaac and gave thumbs up.


    "Ah¡­ I see." The silver-haired man nodded. He crossed his arms and leaned on the wall. Since his interest was piqued, he decided to see this till the end.


    "Haahhh¡­ Haahhh¡­ Come on¡­ Come on!" Lynch''s body was trembling as he kept taunting the thoughtful Isaac.


    Isaac tapped the floor impatiently. No one knew what he was thinking except the silver-haired man.


    ''Hmm¡­ He is thinking is it a better choice to bid less or more¡­ The less could be a safe choice, while more is riskier, but it has better rewards.''


    ''Adding more could be a statement that told he had money to spare¡­ However, that wasn''t obviously the case. If he is thinking this hard, he doesn''t have a lot left.''


    ''Bidding less in this situation could be a worse situation¡­ That other guy might nail the coffin shut in the next turn if he has money¡­''


    ''In this situation¡­ I would show who is in control in this situation!''


    Isaac raised his head and shouted, "2 million!"


    The hall went silent, and even hairpin falling could be heard.


    The silver-haired man smiled and nodded, ''Checkmate¡­''

 Chapter 407 lsaac Vs. Lynch - Outcome!

    Chapter 407 - lsaac Vs. Lynch - Oue!


    Lynch''s jaw dropped, ''H-How does he have so much¡­ Who is he?!''


    His butler gulped and whispered, "Y-Young master¡­ I-It is time to stop."


    "No!" Lynch didn''t take that suggestion lightly, "How much money we have left?! I will fucking destroy that masked bastard!"


    "N-None, we have none!" The butler''s face had varied shades ever since the bidding war began. Initially, he appeared calm. After a million, it became slightly reddish, and now it was pale white.


    "What did you say?!" Lynch screamed, shaking his uv and ttering his teeth.


    "W-W-We wouldn''t have been able to even afford the 1.8 million!" The butler revealed with a high-pitched tone. Lynch''s money was under his care from the start.


    That was the job handed over by Guild Master of Monarch, and in the end, if he''d managed to save the rest of Lynch''s money, it would be a sess.


    However, Lynch didn''t take it lightly and screamed, "Inform father, now! He needs to lend me only 500k!"


    The butler shook his head and said, "Your father told you to return home, now."


    "No!" Lynch rejected immediately.


    Then, the auctioneer smiled, "Current bid, 2 million!"


    "Going once¡­ Going twice¡­"


    "No, wait, stop!" Lynch stood up, trying to stop the auctioneer, "W-We have the money. Just wait!"


    The auctioneer turned to look at him and smirked, "And¡­ SOLD!"


    Lynch''s eyes shook, and cheers of nearby yers echoed throughout the hall.


    The eyes of yers turned toward the masked man. The looks varied from shock to admiration, and some were worried. They thought that he had signed his death warrant.


    Isaac left the seating area. There was an air of lingering gazes as the yers peered through the mask''s end, trying to peer between the two sides of his face.


    However, the mask was tightly hugging his face, making it impossible to see anything. Isaac stepped out of the stands and approached the exit of the hall by walking up the stairs.


    A middle-aged man with silver hair reached into a pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. When he opened the package, he shook it, and almost immediately, one of the cigarettes fell out.


    He caught it between his two fingers, then he ced the cigarette in his mouth and lit it up by brushing his finger across the cigarette. Almost immediately, the cigarette was engulfed in mes.


    "Whew¡­" A puff of smoke left his mouth as he watched Isaac walking past him, "Good one, young fe."


    "Hmm?" Isaac caught sight of the silver-haired man''s mouth moving, but now those lips were tightly shut like he had never spoken a word.


    ''Weird¡­'' He shook his head and left the hall.


    The silver-haired man smiled mysteriously and let out another puff of smoke.


    ¡­


    In the Auction House backstage.


    "Sir, this is the Oil of Dreams. Congrattions." The beautiful woman offered him the bottle with the liquid inside.


    Taking it in his hands, Isaac shook the bottle. A pleasant scent greeted him as he shook it.


    His smile spread across his face as he nodded his head in satisfaction and added the bottle to his inventory.


    Instantly, a notification rang.


    [Oil of Dreams Acquired!]


    [3/5]


    ''2 more¡­''


    Then, Isaac paid the total amount. It was rather heartbreaking to say goodbye to his 2 million, but it had to be done.


    The beautiful woman epted it gracefully and gave Isaac the Auction House''s VIP Card.


    "What is a VIP Card?" Isaac wondered. As soon as the Auction House was expanded for arger audience, the beautiful woman exined, he would be able to have his own VIP room.


    Currently, the Auction House is still under construction, and it is notpletely ready. Upon itspletion, they would hold a mega-auction.


    Isaac epted the card. The card might prove helpful one day. Finally, he finally left backstage and, while doing so, looked around to see what was happening.


    He hoped to catch a nce of his grandparents but couldn''t see them anywhere.


    Then, as he came closer to the exit of the auction house, the speed at which he walked slowed down. From outside, he observed Lynch standing around with a group of his now-conscious bodyguards, who were still suffering from swelling and blurred vision as a result of the trauma.


    ''Hmph...'' Isaac looked around, and he was currently standing a little bit further away from the group of yers who were exiting the auction house.


    The door that led straight to the backstage was behind him, and he was standing right in front of it.


    No one had caught a glimpse of him yet.


    Isaac took out the mask, tossed it inside his inventory, and said, "Snow-white."


    A beautiful snow-white color appeared all over Isaac''s ck camouge outfit.


    As he walked out of the auction house, he joined the crowd of yers. Lynch scanned every yer but could not find the person he was looking for.


    However, then, his eyes caught the white-haired man, and his eyes widened in shock, ''Wraith¡­ Why was he here? No, I don''t have time to think about that¡ª where is that masked bastard?!''


    Unbeknownst to him, the masked bastard had already left the auction house and was returning to his home.


    ¡­


    Isaac woke up from his dormant state. A headset was clinging to the high-tech visor on his face, and a skinsuit was taking in the exhaustion from his body.


    When Isaac put the headset in a box and ced it in the wardrobe, he left his room, and his legs carried him up to the attic.


    As Isaac opened the wooden hatch, the odor of oak filled his nostrils as he peered into the dusty attic. As he entered the attic, he flicked the switch to turn the lights on.


    As he did so, the dim light that surrounded the attic slowly started to fill it. There was just one light bulb hanging from the wooden ceiling, providing just enough light to dispel the dimness.


    Isaac walked past the cracked open boxes, over the wooden crisps, and arrived in front of a square-shaped wooden box with a tight-fitting lid.


    "The owl seemed very curious about this box, so let''s see what is inside." Isaac grabbed the lid with bare hands and tried to remove it. Unfortunately, he was unable to remove it.


    After trying till his vessels protruded, and veins popped, he gave up after seeing that it was impossible.


    It took him a moment or two to realize that he had discovered a crowbar lying beneath some wrinkly old nkets.


    "What is this doing here?" He took the crowbar and considered using it as an alternative. Then, he walked back to the box in order to insert a crowbar between the lid and the box.


    Crack!


    As the crowbar was pushed down, the lid cracked, and a shimmer of light left the box as it gradually opened.


    Thud!


    Suddenly, the lid of the box fell to the ground, revealing the contents of the box.

 Chapter 408 Grand Priests Coat

    Chapter 408 - Grand Priest''s Coat.


    After the wooden box was opened, a fresh wood scent permeated the air. Bringing the box to the light, Isaac grabbed whatever was inside and held it up to the light.


    The small lightbulb shone upon thevender-colored coat with flower patterns and arge cor. They felt somewhat heavy, pushing Isaac''s arms slightly down, and it resembled a lot of Priest''s attire in White Online.


    As Isaac lowered the cloth out of the light, he mumbled, "Priest''s outfit? No¡­ These are slightly different¡­ Why did my father have these?"


    "His fashion style¡­ It is indeed strange."


    Isaac was about to slip his arms inside the sleeves and thought about trying it out. It was then that a shout rang out from under the attic, on the fourth floor.


    "Isaac, are you there?" It was Isabe''s voice.


    As Isaac folded the coat, he put it back in the box and clumsily closed it with the wooden lid that was slightly cracked around the edges.


    Isaac hurried from the attic, closing the hatch as he descended the wooden stairs.


    "Isaac?" Isabe came with a raised eyebrow, "What were you doing there?"


    "A-Ah¡­ Nothing, just thought that I heard a noise, but it wasn''t nothing." Isaac exined while patting the dust off.


    "Alright, the food is ready," Isabe said.


    Isaac nodded and left with his mother to dine. He went into the dining room to find his siblings and father, who were already waiting in there.


    As Isaac and Marvin dined, they talked about the game, and their conversation centered on the Auction. Apparently, rumors about what happened there were already circting.


    As his big brothers talked, Mark, a sulky and quiet little brother, was ying with his food and sulking while they spoke.


    Sophia ate gently and slowly. Next to her te, a book was open, showing the 41st page of her school book.


    Alice ate the steak silently, repeatedly stabbing it with her fork several times and pouting each and every time.


    Maxwell and Isabe discussed about their day.


    They finished eating shortly after. Isabe returned to the kitchen with the tes.


    Sophia and Alice returned to their rooms.


    Marvin kept shaking his head when Mark talked to him. The distance between their voices increased further as they walked upstairs.


    While Maxwell was humming a song that he heard on the radio, he stood up, caught the newspaper, and was about to return to the living room.


    After a few minutes of checking the news on his phone, Isaac stood up and pocketed his phone. Immediately, he called his father.


    "Dad, what is that coat in the attic?"


    The newspaper dropped from Maxwell''s grasp as his feet halted.


    "Oops¡­" He reacted to the newspaper dropping and caught it once itnded on the floor. Then, he turned around to look at his son and sighed.


    "Well¡­ I might as well show you."


    "Hmm?" Isaac saw his father motioning for him to follow. After walking up to the fourth floor, they unfurled the stairs and opened the hatch that led up to the attic.


    After both of them straightened their backs from their crouching position, Maxwell closed the hatch and went to the slightly-open box.


    As soon as he approached the box, Maxwell pulled out the coat. Thevender coat soon draped over his casual clothing, which he usually wore to rx and move freely.


    "Still asfortable¡­" Maxwell buttoned the sleeves and smiled, "Whatever you will see. Remember that the world isn''t as simr as it used to be."


    ''Because of White Online?'' Isaac thought and nodded. He wondered what was so special about this coat.


    Maxwell smiled as he sped his hands together. A soft glow emanated from his palms as the strands of his hair began to float.


    "W-What is this?" The bright light assaulted Isaac''s eyes¡ª however, he didn''t close them. He was almost certain that he would witness something groundbreaking!


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed!" Maxwell mmed his hands against the dusty old floor and shouted, "Clean!"


    The dust particles vanished into the wind, wood chips vanished, and all trace of dirt, musk and smudge faded away as the wind blew.


    With one gentle breeze, the attic was magically cleared.


    A floor of solid wood looked brand new with a beautiful yellow color, and the wooden walls were undamaged as if they had been built yesterday.


    The window, which was often covered in smudge, was shining.


    "W-W-What?!" Isaac eximed and looked around the attic with eyes shaking, "How can you do that?!"


    Maxwell grinned and opened his palm, showing a tiny light pixel, "I have kept a tiny secret from you all¡­ Since you already know about the existence of the World of White and what it stands for¡­ I think Arthur doesn''t mind me sharing this."


    "What is it?"


    Maxwell sat down on a dusty chair that didn''t get fixed from his miraculous spell and said.


    "Whenever I go topany¡­ In there, I am doing a different kind of business."


    "In public, mypany does different businesses and is usually involved in trading."


    "But, I am doing something¡­ More special."


    "Behind the closed doors, I am usually connected in VR Helmet and do my own secret trading inside White Online."


    Isaac gasped.


    Then, Maxwell took a breath before continuing, "I am trading with Gods and making connections with them."


    "In the end, I received Grand Priest ss, alongside few others, and it made trading with Gods easier."


    "I canmunicate with them whenever I want, and I can travel to God Realm. So¡­ This ss can be called a superior version of Priest ss."


    Isaac nodded with surprise. He didn''t expect that his father was such a bigshot, even trading with Gods by himself.


    Maxwell spread his arms around and showed the coat in its whole glory, "Inside the game, I have the same coat that allows me to use my Divine spells, and I teleported my second one to real-life."


    "The other Grand Priest users hadn''t yet realized¡­ It isn''t their avatar that gave them their power. It was the coat!"


    "So¡­ You are saying¡­" Isaac gulped down.


    "Yes¡­" Maxwell smiled and showed his palms, "While wearing these coats¡­ In this world, I am the God and all-powerful."


    Isaac covered his mouth, and even the idea of someone with ill intentions using these coats caused a spine-chilling feeling to spread around his body.


    Maxwell then took off the coat and handed it over to confused-looking Isaac, "Here¡­ Try it out. Don''t you want to know how it feels to have the power of God in your hands?"

 Chapter 409 Addictive Power Of God.

    Chapter 409 Addictive Power Of God.


    "I-I can?" Maxwell nodded at Isaac''s shaky question.


    Isaac put the coat over him and tucked his arms into the sleeves. As soon as he did that, a certain kind of aura began to emanate from him. As if the whole world had encircled him.


    Isaac''s eyes were glistening with reflections of different worlds and civilizations. He then started to blink less, and his hair started floating.


    ''This is¡­ Power of God?'' His cells were submerged in a sea of pleasure, "This is¡­ Very addictive."


    "I know." Maxwell replied with a deep sigh, "It was¡­ Hard for me to stop losing control."


    "If even I had difficulties¡­ I really hope the Souldeath family doesn''t find out about the purpose of the Grand Priest coat¡­ That could lead to disaster!"


    After grasping tightly at the string of reasoning, Isaac closed his eyes for a few seconds, took several rapid breaths, and opened his eyes again.


    A squirming sensation ensued as he pressed his hands together. His eyebrows scrunched up, and he noticed that the veins had popped up. A light red appeared on his face, and there were vessels visible beneath the surface of his skin.


    "W-W-Why is nothing happening?" He asked after stopping trying to make a spell. Just by trying, he was utterly exhausted.


    "Haha." Maxwell let out a peal ofughter and said, "You need to say specific keywords¡­ Say, Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed, then say what you want to aplish."


    "Alright¡­" Isaac took a deep breath and put his palms together again. His heartbeat returned to its usual calm as he softly closed his eyes.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed¡­" Instantly, his palms shone in a brilliant glow of white. It was only then that the coat around him began to p around him, and his hair strands rose up.


    Maxwell raised his eyebrow, and his eyes slightly shook, ''His¡­ Magic power is above mine? How is that possible¡­ He wasn''t Spellcaster or Priest.''


    Isaac mmed his hands against the damaged box, and his eyes snapped open.


    "Fix!"


    In a matter of seconds, the box began shaking, and with that, the cracks along the edges with holes in the side began to heal. The removed lid flew across the attic andnded on top of the box. All the cracks were patched, and the lid fitted perfectly.


    Soon, the box was brand new, and even the previous worn-out letters were newly painted.


    "Hahahahaha!" Isaac couldn''t help butugh. As a child, he had fantasized about battling demonic dragons using shiny spells andplex magical ruins.


    Maxwell grinned, and he had the exact same reaction when he did it the first time.


    Then, Isaac ced the palms on his chest and said, "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed."


    "Taller!"


    The soft glow soon disappeared, and Isaac''s eyelids fluttered as he slowly opened them. The spell should have made him taller, but it had no effect.


    He looked confused.


    "Hahahahaha!" Maxwell burst intoughter, "The miracles won''t work on humans or anything that is living. Only environment, and objects such as the box, unfortunately."


    "Ahh¡­" Isaac sighed in disappointment. He slipped his arms out of the sleeves, took off the coat, and returned it to Maxwell.


    "Since you managed to find this¡­ I can assume others might as well¡­" Maxwell frowned, wondering where he could hide it.


    "I can keep it in safekeeping. No one visits my room anyway," Isaac suggested.


    Maxwell thought for a moment and nodded. He gave it back to Isaac and said, "Remember, not even Arthur knows I have this¡­ Keep it secret."


    "Of course." Isaac nodded.

    2 dayster.<del></del>


    Monday Morning.


    "Where is it?" Marvin peered into the cab and rummaged through the cluttered contents, filled with books, pencils, and protruding screws, some of which were rusty.


    m!


    He mmed the cab''s shelf shut and quickly rummaged through another shelf.


    "Marvin, hurry up!" His father''s, Maxwell''s, shout came from downstairs.


    "Fuck it!" Marvin grabbed his VR Helmet, stuffed it inside his backpack, and ran out of the room.


    Downstairs, his father was waiting next to the wide-open door. His siblings, Sophia, Alice, and Mark, were already seated in the car.


    Maxwell pointed at his wristwatch, "What took so long?"


    Marvin shrugged his shoulders and skipped out of the mansion. Then, he entered the front seat and ced the backpack into the leg-resting space.


    After leaving the yard, the car continued to drive toward the Heart of Snowstar, where the schools were located.


    College, which Marvel goes to, was opposite Snowstar High School, only walking distance away.


    Soon, the car reached the Heart of Snowstar, and Maxwell parked next to the High School''s entrance.


    "Have a nice day," Maxwell said as others left the cars. Only Mark was still sitting in the backseat, fiddling around with his phone. His school was further away.


    Bam!


    After closing the door, Marvin crossed the street with Sophia, whose ears were plugged with earbuds and a school book open in her arms.


    Alice entered the school through the gates, and she immediately attracted a lot of attention. Several rather handsome and cute-looking young men tried to attract her attention but only received a cold shoulder.


    Students that were walking in the same direction as Marvin looked frightened as he walked by. Marvin''s towering figure caused them to flee.


    Soon, he reached the gates of the College. The gate was crescent-shaped, with a sign above it describing the College of Snow.


    A snowbank surrounded the College''s yard, and its massive building was covered in snow. There were three entrances to the school, shaped like a crescent moon, so there was a lot of traffic in and out.


    A total of four streets led out of the Heart of Snowstar, making the College of Snow one of the most visible buildings in Snowstar.


    The college building had four floors, each with hundreds of windows, allowing plenty of natural light, so overhead lights and light bulbs were unnecessary.


    As soon as Marvin stepped inside the schoolyard, he continued to skip forward, leaving behind him a frightened group of students who sighed in relief, knowing that they had survived another day.


    Sophia entered the yard after a short while, holding the book tightly in her hands.


    After her feetnded on the yard, she was immediately surrounded by dozens and dozens of pale-looking women, who were all beautiful in their own way.


    "Mistress Sophia, a-a-are the rumors true?" They asked with breath-stopping voices.


    Sophia raised her face away from the book and nodded with a solemn look, "It is¡­ Some vixen managed to capture my brother''s heart¡­"


    The women held their chests with heart-wrenching pain.


    After sighing, Sophia mmed her book shut, "Call others. It is time for Cult of White to have their annual meeting slightly ahead of time."


    "Yes, Leader!"

 Chapter 410 VR Mastery Class.

    Chapter 410 VR Mastery ss.


    "Yo." Marvin got seated on a cleaned-from-snow bench, where his friends were already gathered amid slightughter.


    "Hello." They greeted back, and theughter died as the discussion turned from jokes to talking.


    "Sigh¡­ Should we just skip the school?" Lionel suggested, and the only reason he was currently in the school sulking was that his mother forced him to leave the house.


    "Nah, I have a hunch that this day might not be as boring as we first thought." Marvin said with a slight upward grin, "Did you guys bring the helmets?"


    "Yeah." Lionel, Niko, Ins, and Derek nodded. A few of them demonstrated their open bags, which contained a VR Helmet buried among a sea of books.


    Marvin grinned.


    When the school bell rang, the students still on their way to the school building elerated their pace.


    Marvin and his friends stood up. They made their way to the school building, where they were greeted by an open ss door that led to the second floor. Once there, they found arge auditorium and sat down.


    The auditorium was lit up with natural light, and there were over a hundred seats. A frozenke and snow-covered trees could be seen through therge windows of the auditorium.


    Marvin, Niko, Lionel, Ins, and Derek got seated in thest row. The seats around them remained empty¡ª everyone else sat as far as possible.


    Laters, however, were confined to the seats directly in front of them. A clear look of vignce appeared on their faces, and they decided to keep their breaths as quiet as possible, hoping not to arouse the delinquent''s anger.


    Suddenly, the back door opened, and a middle-aged teacher with squinted eyes walked in with stacks of textbooks in his arms.


    The door slowly closed on its own.


    After all the books were ced on the desk, the teacher shuffled papers, frantically searching for his notes as the auditorium fell silent.


    He found them soon after and turned around to find his ssroom packed to the brim.


    "Alright¡­" His tired voice echoed across the auditorium, "The world has changed drastically, and there is no going back¡­"


    The students listened closely.


    "I know most of you want to stay in your homes¡­ y the White Online, and maybe make it your career."


    Many students nodded their heads, and many thought it was better than rotting in the school rooms.


    "That''s why¡­ School''s admiration, decided to add ss simr to VR Operation ss, so be on standby, the first ss will be held today."


    They widened their eyes in surprise and began whispering among themselves.


    Marvin''s eyebrow shot up as he and his friends argued about the purpose of the ss. Fighting was already a rtively skillful endeavor for all of them, and nothing else was likely to improve it.


    "All right, let''s start the ss." The teacher said as he sat down in the softly padded chair and opened his book.


    Suddenly he heard grunts of irritationing from the ss sitting across from him.


    With a wry smile, he began teaching. After the ss ended, the school bell rang, and the students sprung to their feet and began to leave the ssroom.


    Lionel pulled up his sleeve and checked his wristwatch, "We have half an hour."


    "Damn, not much." Marvin unzipped his backpack, took out the VR Helmet, and ced it around his head. His friends did the same. Soon, five buttons were pressed, and they became emotionless dolls.<del></del>


    Although many left the auditorium, many remained in their seats. They wore various VR helmets, varying from Bronze Helmets to Gold Helmets.


    Bronze Helmet wearers looked embarrassed and put the helmet around their heads quickly and entered the game before hearing the imaginaryughter.


    A teacher observed the students'' condition after finishing packing. He nced to the right at the VR Helmet that was lying in his own backpack.


    Zipping his bag, he slipped out the backdoor. He hurried back to his office and grabbed his Helmet.


    Thirty minutester, every soul heard the bell ring.


    The students in the auditorium woke one after another. Suddenly, Marvin''s emotionless face fell apart.


    "Damn, that fucking water is impossible to be crossed!" Marvin cursed with annoyance.


    All of Marvin''s friends shook their heads in agreement. All of them were unlucky enough to spawn in a vige that was surrounded by ake filled with dangerous aquatic animals. They were attacked each time they attempted to cross it either by swimming or by boat.


    The only reason they had to swim was due to the fact that the boat had been destroyed by the massive jaws of a ten-meter-long Shark!


    After Marvin had packed the helmet, they left the auditorium to make their way to the next destination.


    Their school day continued until thest ss of the day took ce. The teacher had told them that the ss was called VR Mastery ss, and it was thest ss of the day.


    The entire group was gathered in a slightly smaller room, but it was still arge room with the capacity to bring in 100 students.


    This particr ss was taught by a short man who made no attempt to stand out from the crowd. The absence of presence he exhibited made him seem like a vanishing cloud.


    He said, "I was chosen as the ss teacher because my level happened to be the highest among the teachers, so bear with me."


    "Our goal is to use the training helmets to find out which areas need improvement and then climb to fix the problems."


    The students nodded. In spite of this, many of the students felt a bit arrogant about their levels and epted that there was nothing new to learn.


    A VR helmet was connected to the TV by the teacher, but as soon as it was connected, the TV began to flicker.


    A scene was disyed where the walls and floor were transparent¡ª only the ceiling was visible.


    "Who wants to be the first?" He faced the students and saw many raising their arms. At that moment, he noticed a young man almost asleep in the corner of the ssroom.


    "You, Mister Niko,e here."


    "Hmm?" Niko opened his left eye and let out a yawn. He was pushed forward by the group of friends snickering andughing.


    In the blink of an eye, he stepped down the hall, and soon he was sitting next to the teacher on a chair. The teacher offered him the training helmet, and Niko yanked it away with a slight motion which resembled a shrug of the shoulders.


    The teacher smiled slyly and pressed the button on the side, "Good luck¡­"


    "I don''t need any!" As soon as he closed his eyes, his body stopped moving.


    "Hehe, let''s see¡­"

 Chapter 411 Bronze Helmets Strength!

    Chapter 411 - Bronze Helmet''s Strength!


    "Hmm?" Niko opened his eyes while feeling a strange sensation around his body. Whenever he tried to move his toes or fingers, they felt stiff, and every step he took seemed tedious to him.


    "Damn, is the training helmet fucking Bronze?" He already felt like this was a waste of time. While he and his friends have the skill required to be Top yers in White Online, their real-life responsibilities are keeping them from reaching their full potential.


    Whoosh!


    "Hmm?" Suddenly, Niko''s stiff neck flexed as he spotted a flying projectile bearing down on him!


    A slight tilt of the head was all he needed to dodge it without wasting any time. Nevertheless, the maneuver did not seem wless when doing so. Rather, it was as though someone was pulling his head, forcing him back, and trying to prevent him from actually dodging.


    It was a bullet that was shot in the air but did not hit the target and vanished upon missing it. It was not long after that another bullet flew from the empty space, and this time it was traveling a bit faster.


    In the second shot, Niko took a step back, and the bullet just missed him by a hair, "Is this what we have to do? Dodge until we die. What a waste of time."


    Suddenly, the roof began to crack, and a dozen arrows crashed through the ceiling.


    A few bloody scratches appeared around the thighs of Niko as he moved out of the way, having to weave through a few arrows. His body''s reaction time was dyed by one second as a result of the stiff movements.


    "Fuck this!" He screamed toward anyone who was listening. His personal VR Helmet was Gold Ranked. This was the product that he had spent his hard-earned money on, and he had never regretted it even once.


    Having battled with Bronze Helmet for some time, now he was thankful that he had Gold instead of this piece of shit, making every movement of his body worse with every passing minute.


    Then, he was swallowed up by the ground when it suddenly opened up and swallowed him whole. While his mind felt like it was swimming, whenever he opened his hazy eyes, all he could see was a misty ckness.


    Later, the vision changed, and he saw the smiling face of the teacher.


    "How was it?" He asked with crossed arms.


    "It was fucking bullshit!" Niko grabbed the helmet off his head and tossed it at the teacher, who caught it with a clumsy catch.


    "What fucking use is to keep dodging with joints as stiff as rocks!"


    Niko stomped back to his friends who were making fun of him, sarcastically acknowledging theirughs.


    The teacher ced the helmet around his head and smiled, "Watch me."


    Suddenly, his body ceased to move, and, as a result, his consciousness was transferred to the training avatar.


    All the students crossed their arms, watching the TV with curiosity in their eyes.


    "Hmph." Niko snorted and crossed his legs as his eyelids grew shut. After ying all night, he had already be tired, and he felt the need to take a quick nap.


    ¡­


    "Whew..." The teacher let out a breath and opened his eyes with a vivid vision of a transparent room shing before his eyes.


    As he looked up, several bullets flew in various directions, ripping through the air as they passed.


    During a step forward, the teacher was just a bit more than a few millimeters from both shots passing through his head. His nose was almost scratched by the shell on the bridge of his nose. There was barely any room for the spare.


    Suddenly, the ceiling fell apart, and a dozen arrows shot down from above.


    The teacher lunged forward, and the arrows shot into the ground behind him. As he spun and focused his attention on the floor, several des flew across the room, each one sharp enough to slice right through him.


    Putting his arms in front, his joints were stiff, and his movements were crude. In the end, he managed to take control of the swords with the hilts by grasping them masterfully.


    The impact rocked his body enough to cause his feet to slide a little backward as well.


    Then, he spun the swords around him. As a result, the arrows were divided in half with each swing of the swords.


    At this point, the ground opened up and tried to consume him whole. As the teacher rose into the air, he strained his bones while moving the swords in order to block the iing bullets.


    Despite his efforts, one bullet passed his guard and pierced his waist.


    "Ugh!" He coughed out blood and fell to the hole in the floor. When he was swallowed up by the hole in the floor, he coughed up blood again.


    ¡­


    "Ugh!" The teacher began coughing without stopping. After that, he took out the helmet, gently ced it on the desk, and looked at the students with an exhausted look on his face.


    Students had their mouths agape, apanied by the looks of shock that were visible in their youthful eyes.


    Niko''s eyes were wide open, the sleepiness was long gone, and even his friends were silent.


    "Well¡­" The teacher wiped his drool off and stood up, "This is what I try to teach you all¡­ The movement is the most important part of any fighting game. It improves your strength and also chances of survival."


    "If we used Gold Helmet as training¡­ It won''t help any of you. It might even be harmful because not all of you have Gold Helmet to rely on, and it won''t be as effective."


    "Bronze Helmet, however¡­ Is incredibly useful." He smiled.


    "I think¡­ Arthur is as great as people say him to be¡­ I don''t think he made Bronze Helmet so that others would be more desperate to buy better helmets¡­ Instead, this helmet was made for training."


    "If someone used this helmet to train¡­ Let''s say, for example, one week, then when they change to better helmet, their stats must be way higher than it shows."


    "Now¡­ Are you guys willing to be taught?" The teacher asked, and the students unanimously nodded with a clear desire to grow strong.


    The teacher smiled and said, "Alright then, who is next?"


    Everyone in the room raised their arms, even Marvin and his friends.


    The rest of the ss continued with their training, and many of them didn''t make it past their first bullet, while Marvin survived the floor swallowing before sumbing to his injuries shortly afterward.


    There was a lot of enthusiasm in the air after the ss was over, and the students whispered excitedly with each other. They enjoyed the ss. Marvin, and others did as well.


    When they stepped outside of the school building, the snow crunched under their weight and iced up on the ground.


    "That was quite¡­ Unexpected experience." Derek said.


    Others nodded.


    "That teacher¡­ Is strong." Lionel said with a serious look, "White Online isn''t his first rodeo, and he must have been a fighter when he was young."


    "Well, doesn''t matter for now. But I am kinda interested in buying Bronze Helmet now. I can already feel my movements being sharper after one ss." Marvin said.


    "Yeah, I hope they are still selling¡­"

 Chapter 412 Rageful oliver

    Chapter 412 - Rageful oliver.


    In Snowstar High School.


    As students were going in and out of their ssrooms, the hallways were crowded with people. It was about to be thest ss of the morning, and that caused a sense of excitement among the students.


    In ss 1-A, several students were wearing VR helmets, enjoying their time in White Online before thest ss.


    When Alice was finished packing her school books, she saw her VR helmet hidden inside the backpack. During the breaks, however, she had never been brave enough to use it, despite how desperately she wanted to.


    With her hands raised, her fingertips were about to brush the surface of the helmet with the tips of her delicately curled nails.


    It was then that the door of the ssroom opened, and two young men entered with their eyes scanning all corners of the ssroom in a careful manner.


    As all of the students were wearing VR helmets, and only Alice wasn''t wearing one, they were all in a state of silence.


    ''''Alice, I have a question.'''' Oliver walked past the desks and stopped next to Alice. Her brows furrowed slowly, and it was clear she was irritated.


    "I am busy." She said coldly.


    "It won''t take long." Oliver slipped his hands inside his pocket, trying to act tough as he asked, "Did¡­ Isaac talked about anything about his meeting with me?"


    "Why would I tell you anything if he did?" Alice frowned, slightly surprised that her brother had met with Oliver.


    Oliver''s face turned solemn, but then Luke tugged his sleeve and whispered.


    "Alice is acting as usual, which means Isaac hasn''t told her or anyone."


    Oliver nodded, and his lips curved upward, "Well then¡­"


    He put his hands on the desk and leaned closer as he grinned, "Alice, you are pretty cute. How about we go for dinner?"


    Luke''s visage crumbled, and his face morphed into shock, ''What the hell is he trying to aplish?''


    "Hahahaha!" Alice uttered with a peal of heavenlyughter that echoed through the corridors of the building, "That was a funny one."


    "It wasn''t a joke," Oliver said with his hands tightly clenched into a fist.


    After Alice''sughter died down, she looked at him as if he were a piece of garbage, "Even if the whole world was burnt down, and only we two were left. I still wouldn''t let some vermin touch a strand of me."


    Oliver''s mouth twitched, "That is not very nice¡­ You should watch your back. You are, after all, quite¡­ Fragile and easy to break."


    Alice giggled out of mock and covered her mouth, "Oh, you are threatening me?"


    Oliver shrugged his shoulders, "If you prefer that term, then sure."


    Alice slowly stood up from her chair, her head barely reaching Oliver''s neckline, "You don''t have even balls to invite Amanda for a date, and how long have you known her?"


    "¡­Ten years, maybe?" Alice''s words were oozed with venom, "You don''t definitely have the balls to do anything to me either because you know what would happen to you."


    Oliver innocently smiled, "I guess you don''t know much about me."


    "I know enough, and you are nothing but a worthless piece of the trash usually found on sidewalks."


    The edge of Oliver''s lips twitched slightly. He leaned closer, his lips almost touching Alice''s anger-filled face.


    "You are indeed quite¡­ Annoying." Oliver''s face turned ice-cold as he spoke.


    "Get off me, or you will regret it." Alice clenched her fist.


    "Oh... Why would I regret it?" Oliver''s grin stretched across the width of his mouth.


    Snap!


    When Alice snapped her fingers, the ssroom doors instantly flew open with a loud m. Over ten well-dressed bodyguards appeared with their hands touching the gun holsters.


    Oliver and Luke were surrounded by these men, and they looked as though they were dreading the prospect of being riddled with bullet wounds.


    A pale look spread over Oliver''s face as he took a step back.


    Luke''s eyes trembled, and he stepped backward, unexpectedly colliding with a bodyguard in the process.


    "Eeek!" Luke''s legs suddenly gave way, causing him to fall on his butt with fear suffusing his face.


    A white napkin was pulled out from Alice''s pocket, and she wiped her face, which was sprayed with Oliver''s rotten breath.


    "Disgusting¡­ After what happened to my dear brother, you didn''t think my parents wouldn''t protect us too?"


    "Just so you know¡­ Our parents, surprisingly, love us equally, even if they don''t always show it." Alice tossed the napkin away, grabbed her backpack, and walked out of the ssroom.


    "Break is soon over¡­ Thanks for that, brainless ape." Herst words dug deep into Oliver''s heart.


    "F-F-Fuck¡­" Oliver gritted his teeth and left the ss with Luke while escorted by the bodyguards.


    While they walked in the now-empty hallways, Oliver''s hands trembled.


    Luke angrily whispered, "What the hell was that? I thought we weren''t supposed to have any contact with Whitelock''s?"


    "That definitely looked fucking suspicious!"


    "I had to know if Isaac told anyone¡­ He didn''t." Oliver''s enraged eyes turned blood-red, "I truly hate Whitelock''s¡­ I want them to grovel before me¡­"


    "Maybe we should just let this go¡­" Luke suggested with a heavy look, "My mother got recently a job in Isabe Whitelock''s clothing store, and I am afraid that my deeds will be exposed, and she will be fired."


    "Are you chickening out?" Oliver grabbed his cor and yanked it back as he spoke with venom, "If you chicken out, your entire family will be destroyed, remember that!"


    Oliver pushed Luke away and continued stomping in the hallways.


    "Fuck¡­" Luke fixed his cor and angrily mmed the wall before following after Oliver.


    ¡­


    In Snowstar''s Middle School for Gifted Children.


    It was a bright and sunny day, and the ssroom closest to the food-filled cafeteria was buzzing with children.


    There weren''t any desks in the ssroom. It was a soft-cushioned pillow-like chair that was used rather than a hard chair with hard corners. As the children talked to other kids of their age loudly and excitedly, the atmosphere was lively and full ofughter.


    Currently, the teacher was discussing something with a young apprentice teacher. Their talk circled around White Online.


    On top of that, there was also Mark Whitelock, sitting alone on the soft seat, holding the phone in his hand, alone with his thoughts.


    While he kept scrolling through the Inte, he found it hard to concentrate due to the loud conversations around him.


    After a momentary sigh, he put his phone in his pocket.


    "Hey, Mark!" Then, a cute pigtailed girl appeared behind him. While her eyes nced at the now-closed phone, her long hair flowed over her shoulders, and her long hair fell over her ears.


    "What''cha doing?"


    "Nothing." He moved slightly away from the cute girl to distance himself further from her.


    She pouted and got seated in the seat next to him, "Want to know a secret?"


    "Hmm?" Mark acted like he wasn''t interested, but his ears perked up.


    "I found a way¡­ To enter White Online and bypass the children''s lock!"


    "What, really?!" Mark looked at her with surprise and grabbed her hand with excitement, "How, tell me?!"


    The cute girl blushed under his intimate act. Then, she leaned closer and whispered.


    Mark kept nodding, and his eyes sparkled, "Thanks, Mia!"


    ''Hehe¡­ Look out, Big Brothers, I will surpass you two!''

 Chapter 413 The Return of Black Smoke

    Chapter 413 The Return of ck Smoke


    Crack!


    The twig was broken under Isaac''s shoe. While he strolled through the damp forest, the smell of danger seemed to drift everywhere he looked.


    He was currently in Forest of Rainwell. In spite of his efforts, he had not been able to reach the end after trying for several days.


    It seemed that every time he tried to reach the end, a new obstacle would present itself.


    As Isaac was running through the forest, at exactly the same moment, the wind suddenly ceased. It was then that his instincts kicked in, and he knew that something was about to happen.


    The ground a few meters away from him sank in, and hundreds of sharp spikes popped out of the ground. Each one of them was sharp enough to impale a humanpletely.


    Another group of pikes emerged from the underground and flew straight toward Isaac!


    All of a sudden, the ground began to swallow everything in its path. A lot of trees were being downed into a hole, a lot of grass patches were destroyed, and floral arrangements were dying.


    Isaac was already running away from the scene. His figure whizzed past hundreds of trees in just a matter of seconds.


    As soon as the ground stopped shaking, he dared to turn around and take a look behind him.


    Several hundred meters away, there was a forest that waspletely destroyed, with moist ground twisted upside down and trees ravaged by cracks.


    "This is goddamn impossible..." Isaac leaned against a tree, picked up an inventory book, and began jotting down notes.


    Ten pages were already full of words.


    Isaac had written down all of the information he had found in the Forest, and each obstacle in the way was more difficult than the one before it.


    There was even a time when he tried using a Teleportation Pearl, but it did not work. There was no way he could teleport to the other side of the forest since he didn''t know what thendscape looked like.


    Crossing the forest truly seemed impossible.


    "Maybe the only way is to fly over the forest¡­" Isaac shrugged his shoulders at suchical thought. That was also a thought that kept surfacing in his mind.


    Maybe the test was for him to find a way to fly over the forest.


    Since he had spent several days in the haunted forest, his level also increased.

    ¡­


    "Sigh¡­" Isaac let out a sigh that was full of frustration and annoyance, "I hate staying here¡­ It halts my progress, and I have to pass the forest somehow so I can catch up with top yers¡­"


    He mmed the notebook shut, stuffed it into his inventory, and stood up.


    "One final try¡­ Then I am done for today." Isaac gathered his thoughts and decided to use another method to cross the forest.


    It was with the help of Marksman of Space.


    Upon opening his eyes again after closing them, Isaac was greeted by a beautiful star pattern with glowing edges, which reced his round pupils. He was then greeted with strange glowing particles emitted by his body.


    His vision then flew across arge leap, and when he looked back, he realized that his body had disappeared and that it had appeared on top of arge oak tree. It had been fifty meters from where he had been before.


    Currently, his maximum teleport distance was 90 meters and he was sure that once the distance increased to 100 meters, the skill would enter level 3.


    The countdown slowly ticked down.


    Isaac slowly uncorked a shallow breath, taking a careful look at the surroundings. While looking for his next point to teleport to, Isaac slowly caught his breath again. There was quite a bit of damage to the area around him at the moment, with only a few trees still standing.


    After the countdown reached zero, Isaac teleported eighty meters away andnded on the top of a hill which was only six meters high.


    An instantter, a cold chill brushed him like a swarm of ants came upon him and wanted him to be devoured in full.


    At the far end of the forest, something huge was heading toward him with frightening speed, and the forest began to crumble.


    Isaac looked at the countdown and grimaced, "Fuck¡­ Have to run away!"


    He jumped off the hill and began running deeper into the forest. When the creature spotted him, he immediately changed direction, following him.


    While running, Isaac''s focus was on the slowly-ticking-down countdown.


    The loud stomping noises were only dozens of meters away from him. After a single stomp, the creature covered several meters in no time and was catching up fast.


    Then, when the cooldown reached zero, Isaac instantly teleported 90 meters away from where he was.


    As soon as his feet hit the ground, he immediately felt a wave of exhaustion, but no matter how tired he was, he continued running without stopping.


    At this point, the massive creature seemed to stop, wondering where his prey was.


    Throughout this point, Isaac continued to use the Marksman of Space without stopping, and this went on for hours on end.


    A couple of hourster, Isaac was sitting at the top of an enormous tree, body soaked in sweat, droopy eyes, and exhausted face.


    As he was nearing the end of his mental resources, he debated whether or not he should just call it a day.


    Taking a look around the forest from the top of the tree, he realized he couldn''t see the end of the forest. His eyes could see nothing else but endless woods to the horizon.


    "This is impossible¡­" Isaac shakily stood up and decided to continue for another hour. After that, he would give up.


    His body transformed into floating star-patterned particles and appeared eighty meters away.


    He felt immediately as if he was being bathed in ake of coldness with clouds of thick darkness surrounding him.


    A small patch of grass had been burned into crisps, a flower had withered, and the trees were rapidly wasting away.


    The strange ck smoke, which Isaac met on his first visit to the forest, had returned!


    This time, it wasn''t nning on letting Isaac leave just yet as it had done previously!


    There was an instantaneous crack in the ground as several ashen-gray vines drilled through the earth, spearing up sharp edges filled with poisonous seeds and flying toward him.

 Chapter 414 The lmmortal Shadows

    Chapter 414 The lmmortal Shadows


    Spurt!


    The vines sharply speared through Isaac''s legs and pulled him out of the tree. Soon after, his back was thrown up against some hard ground and dragged inside a cloud of ck smoke.


    "N-No!" Isaac tried to rip the vines, but only his hands got riddled with wounds as a result of this.


    Soon, he was engulfed in the ck smoke, and an endless coldness began to seep through his bones. He started feeling a strange kind of terror in the depths of his heart.


    The whole thing felt as if he had been dragged into a cave of an ancient beast where he was the prey for the day. The terror came from wanting to live and not get eaten by some terrifying beast.


    When a number of figures appeared at the forefront of the ck smoke, the terror became more intense. They were d in the ck smoke armory, holding dark-ded swords.


    They were the shadowy figures whom Isaac had assumed to be responsible for the creation of the mysterious ck smoke.


    Their des shrieked for blood as they marched forward, their faces revealed dark teeth, and their teeth showed the dark stains of blood. In an almost humorous manner, they appeared to be grinning at one another. The corners of their mouths were arched upwards.


    "Break! Break! Break! "Isaac shook his fist vigorously against the vines, but they proved to be indestructible. Droplets of his blood were coating the ground, staining it blue.


    Suddenly, he was greeted by the long-awaited message in the corner of his eye. Within his eyes, the tiniest shred of hope began to glisten.


    Finally, the shadowy figures were arms-length away and didn''t wait any longer¡ª they swung their swords.


    [Marksman of Space Used!]


    Nightfall of itchy des delivered a punch straight to the vine. Their eyes turned blood-red, and they looked around with anger in their eyes. After that, they saw an eerie figure floating in the sky, whose body was about to be made up of star patterns.


    ''Why am I in the sky?!'' Isaac searched for a means to calm himself down as he saw that he was going to have a long fall ahead of him, ''Did the ck smoke confuse the teleportation somehow?!''


    A long, curved ashen-gray vein pierced through the air and wrapped around the body of Isaac.


    The pain in Isaac''s eyes began to sink into his kidneys as he was once again dragged back into the ck smoke. He was struck by the ground, and his health bar began shing red after he suddenly lost arge percentage of his health.


    The shadowy figures, this time, raced toward him, and only a few stepster, they were within arms'' reach of him.


    Isaac sunk his teeth into the screaming veins and made ast-ditch effort to save his life. Then, a puff of cold air left his lungs and froze the veins altogether!


    He then gripped the reins tighter and broke them to the point that nothing was left. Quickly he rose to his feet and jumped away from the shadowy figures.


    It took only a fraction of a second for sword strikes to destroy his previous position.


    In just moments, the shadowy figures inflicted a swarm of blows at Isaac from different angles, so that it was extremely difficult for Isaac to respond to each one quickly enough.


    Isaac, however, tried weaving through the sword attacks to evade them, but to no avail. After one lucky sh, ck smoke seeped into his body through a scratch on his thigh.


    He couldn''t see clearly, and his mind was foggy. His stone gray eyes gradually started to turn dark, and his veins turned ck with the intention of making him appear exactly like other shadowy figures.


    [You Are Being Corrupted!]


    [Mythical Legacy''s Defense Against Corruption¡­ Activated!]


    The ck smoke was forcefully removed from his body. Suddenly, a glint of golden light fought against the shimmering darkness and regained control of the body after a few seconds.


    As Isaac''s eyes turned back to gray, he could now think clearly again, the cloud of confusion being lifted from his mind.


    He pulled his gun out of the inventory and fired a few rounds at the nearby enemies.


    As the bullets passed through the bodies of the shadowy figures, none of the shadowy figures were harmed. As the bullets passed through their bodies, they remained undaunted and marched onwards.


    Gritting his teeth, Isaac decided to use Icy Shots again, hoping that this time they would help. The shadowy figures just shrugged off each of the shots as if they didn''t see them.


    Eventually, they reached the range of their attack, and without further ado, they hammered their swords down viciously.


    As Isaac spun the gun around, he began fighting off the swords. The abilities Isaac possessed in terms of techniques were still mediocre. In spite of the fact that he had been practicing with bo-staff for quite some time, there was still much that there was to learn.


    Isaac''s grip on the gun was slipped by a sword strike, and the gun fell to the ground shortly after being engulfed in a cloud of ck smoke.


    The eyes of Isaac shook, and he rushed to tilt his head to the left, just in time for his body to escape the sword''s attack. On the other hand, his cheek was scratched badly by the tip of the sword.


    A ck fog tried to corrupt Isaac''s mind again, but the golden glow pushed it away from his body immediately.


    The hand of Isaac moved, and a solid fist came crashing down on the shadowy figure''s jaw. But again, it was like the shadowy figure didn''t even feel it.


    In Isaac''s body, he felt a sharp and constant pain of coldness permeating throughout the entire body. Upon turning his head to look at his fist, he found that it was encased in a thinyer of ice, but it was a lot colder than Icy Shot.


    ''What is this¡­'' Then, Isaac''s thoughts were cut off as a shadowy figure appeared behind him and drilled the sword straight through his heart!


    "UGH!" A gush of blue blood flew out of Isaac''s mouth. His Health Bar went all the way to zero, and then everything started turning dark.


    However, at that moment, his White Death activated, and the strands of his white hair began floating.


    "Hmm?" The shadowy figures let out their first words, and it was confused hmm. They had no idea what was happening in the white-haired man''s body, but it was something spectacr.


    As Isaac kicked behind him, he felt his feet touch something and yet nothing at the same time. As the kick was delivered, it went straight through the shadowy figure, who showed no signs of caring.


    The shadowy figure pulled out the sword from his body and again swung, this time trying to decapitate Isaac.


    Seeing nothing but peril ahead for Isaac, his eyes trembled as his heart sank. Although his senses were running in a state of hyperfocus, he did not seem to be able to find a way to escape.


    SWOOSH!


    It was at that precise moment, however, that the shadowy figure, along with two other figures of the same silhouette, was cut in half. After their bodies turned to ash, their ashes permeated into the ground.


    "W-What?" Isaac looked around him, trying to understand what the hell was happening.


    After that, his face turned pale, and ten shadowy figures appeared from the ground. They, however,pletely ignored Isaac and aimed their weapons toward the entrance of the ck smoke.


    From there, another sword swing rippled through the air and eventually split the shadowy figures in half. At the end of the battle, they were utterly annihted, extinguished from existence, and faded into the distance.

 Chapter 415 Fishermen village

    Chapter 415 Fishermen vige


    "Hello, young one." From the bright part of the forest, a single, muscr man stepped inside the ck smoke. The more he walked, the farther the corruption retreated from him.


    Arge back hung over his broad shoulder, and his mouth was stretched into a grin.


    "I-It''s you!" Isaac eximed.


    "We didn''t introduce each other before¡­" The muscr man chuckled and scratched the back of his head, "My name is Spartacus, Mythical Figure, containing the Legacy of diators."


    Isaac''s eyes shook.


    A momentter, Spartacus took a strong grip on his sword and saw hundreds of shadowy figures appearing in his peripheral vision. With a long sigh, he stepped past Isaac and swung his sword.


    A single sword strike sliced the ck smoke in half, and silence was heard throughout the universe. There was no wind, no birds were chirping, and there was no noise at all.


    As a result, gradually, the ck smoke faded, and the corruption ceased to spread. The old trees finally began to show signs of life, and the withered flowers began to bloom again.


    The cracked ground slowly began to heal itself, and the dark sky began to shine blue again.


    "..." Spartacus sheathed his sword, his face still a nk, despite the fact that he had just pulled off something that could be considered impossible.


    In Isaac''s eyes, everything around him came to life as though it had been animated by magical energy.


    "Here." Spartacus pulled out a small de from his pocket and handed it over to Isaac.


    "This is¡­?" When Isaac took it into his hands, the de itself attached to the Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle. Instantly, the gun vibrated in pleasure.


    "The de I promised." Spartacus grinned, "And, it''s not an ordinary de. It''s a de made by Hephaestus, the greatest cksmith among Gods!"


    "Why did you give me something this valuable?" Isaac asked with a frown. The gun in his arms felt much heavier. It was either the effect of the de or the fact that he now understood how valuable the gun he carried was.


    "You are a natural born leader, such as I." Spartacus exined and took a step deeper into the forest, "Follow me. I will help you find a path through this forest."


    Isaac quickly followed after. There were still questions in his mind, but they could wait.


    The following hour went as such. Whenever a new obstacle appeared, Spartacus unsheathed his sword and shed through it with a brutal attack.


    The obstacles that could kill Isaac from a single strike weren''t anything in front of Spartacus. None could evenst one strike against him.


    Soon, they saw something in the distance. Behind the trees, they could see a shimmer of light. It was then that the smell of fresh sea salt greeted Isaac, followed by the sound of the waves.


    "Water? No¡­ Sea is close!" Isaac elerated his pace and soon left the forest with a ray of sun shining upon him and a fresh scent entering his nostrils.


    He closed his eyes and soon opened them again. A momentter, he saw an endless sea with no end in sight, and just a short distance away from him, there was a fishermen''s vige.


    Isaac''s eyes frowned, ''This is it? Another vige? This cannot be!''


    "This is where we say our goodbyes. Good luck, young one." Spartacus was about to start walking in another direction, away from the vige.


    But then, Isaac asked, "Where am I supposed to go? Here isn''t exactly much to do."


    "Rent a boat. You can afford it." Spartacus turned around and pointed toward the sea, "Keep going in that direction, and you will reach the City of Priesthood."


    Isaac nodded and watched as Spartacus walked away with his ragged robes pping behind him.


    A huge sigh escaped Isaac''s lips as he stepped down the small hill and soon arrived at the town. It was essentially a wooden town, with rocky streets and wooden buildings. There was the scent of bread and fish wafting through the air.


    The vige seemed rtively small, even smaller than Rainwell, but it was cozy and intimate.


    There wasughter in the air, as well as discussions, and it was a very warm atmosphere. After Isaac''s arrival in the streets, everything fell silent.


    Isaac frowned and saw everyone staring at him with mouths agape.


    "Hey, brat, did you juste from that forest?" A fisherman with a bulky body asked. He was seated around a small table with his group of friends, enjoying their food and drinks.


    "Yes, I did," Isaac asked with a raised eyebrow. He didn''t have any idea how shocking the news truly was.


    The vigers looked shocked, and the fisherman''s eyes shook.


    The fisherman stood up in a hurry and asked, "Are there any viges or anything at all?"


    "Yes, there is one," Isaac replied.


    The vigers looked at each other, urgency visible in their eyes.


    "Can youe with me?" The fisherman asked, "To visit the vige chief."


    "Oh." Isaac looked toward the harbor and the ships that were still docked. He shrugged his shoulders and nodded.


    The fisherman sighed in relief and led the way. Following them, the vigers formed a line behind Isaac and followed him to the vige chief''s house.


    Soon, they reached thergest building in the vige. It was a two-floor building made of wood and stone. The roof was pointy, and a small chimney poked through.


    The front door was pair of doors that could be pushed open. There were two Guards grabbing the hilt of their swords.


    Then, they saw the vigers walking toward them. They didn''t seem vignt, instead talked with the fisherman like they were close buddies.


    After the fisherman finished exining their purpose of visit, the Guards nodded with serious looks and opened the doors.


    The group entered the vige chief''s house and found themselves in an open hall with arge table in the middle and a chair at one end. This chair was covered in a hide of a bear.


    The vige chief was sitting on top of the chair. He was a muscr man with a sword scabbard hanging from his hip. Around the table were his family, a beautiful wife, five daughters, and two sons.


    They were eating only a second ago but halted after the doors opened.


    The fisherman went to the vige chief, whispered something in his ear, and soon, Isaac saw everyone''s faces changing.


    The vige chief looked shocked, and his wife seemed thrilled. Their children were surprised and shocked.

    "Young one, may I get your name?" The vige chief shifted his body in the chair and leaned slightly closer. As everyone turned to look at the white-haired man, the children grew quieter.


    "Wraith," Isaac replied with his in-game name. There was some confusion over his name.


    "Alright¡­ Wraith." The vige chief then locked his fingers and asked, "Can you tell more about¡­ The forest?"


    Isaac nodded, "The forest is basically evil. There is something hideous hiding there, so I suggest that you stay as far away from it as possible."


    The vige chief nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, yeah, a few of our Ancestors stumbled there and disappeared. From there on, it was forbidden forest."


    "Can you tell me more about the vige?" Jacqueline, his wife, asked with a wide smile crossing her face as her blue eyes glistened with curiosity.


    "It is called Rainwell Vige, and it is as the name suggests. Rain is very heavy there."


    "What about the poption?"


    "Not much, a little bit over hundred, I think."


    The vigers were still shocked by the number of people.


    The vige chief became thoughtful and said, "Those people in Rainwell Vige¡­ Might be our ancestors'' offspring."


    "They could have got lost in the forest, and when they didn''t find a way out of the forest, they decided to continue living there until the chance to return came."


    "But, as you said, the forest is evil? Right?"


    Isaac nodded and said, "Yeah¡­ Whatever is doing all the horrible things there don''t want anyone to escape."


    The vige chief stood up. His tall figure sent a loom of shadow over Isaac, "We can''t leave our family alone. That''s why I will go there with a few of my trusted Guards and bring them back to their home."


    "Did you not hear what I said? The forest is dangerous!" Isaac felt frustrated at theirck of knowledge. If there was a chance, he wouldn''t stay near the forest, let alone go there again!


    "Heh, we will be fine." The vige chief, his family, and the vigers seemed confident, not scared a bit.


    Isaac felt other emotions other than frustration¡ª anger at theirck of care, but then, the vige chief''s nametag popped up.


    [Vige Chief - Roshward]


    [Level: 299]


    Isaac''s eyes shook, and the eyes almost popped out of his sockets, ''Level 299¡­ No, they weren''t ignorant of the danger. They were confident to be able to save their family members!''


    ''They have enough strength to casually walk to Rainwell Vige, pick up their family members, and return with no scratch on their bodies!''


    "Thanks for the help, young one." Roshward bowed with gratitude, "If you need anything, just ask."


    Isaac''s breath quickened, and he nodded, "Well, can I get a boat? I need to get to the City of Priesthood?"


    Roshward nodded and waved his hand. The fisherman that took Isaac to visit Roshward stepped forth and bowed.


    "Murphy will take you there." He said and motioned for the Guards to follow after him. They would go n for the expedition and leave after the next sun had risen.


    His family returned to their living quarters, and Roshward''s wife gave a hug to Isaac and a few words of gratitude.


    After this, all the vigers returned to their homesteads, and everything that was said there soon reached the ears of all the vigers throughout the vige.


    It seems like the poption of their small vige would have an explosive rise.


    Murphy took Isaac to the harbor. Walking along the street, they walked past the aroma of freshly-cooked fish.


    Each of them breathed in the delicious aroma and purchased a fish for themselves. As soon as they reached the harbor, they boarded the fishing boat.


    Murphy introduced his crew mates to Isaac. There were five, including Murphy, that usually go fishing.


    They were all aged 50 to 60, and all of them had done fishing their entire lives. They were perhaps the best fishers found in the entire Spring Realm.


    Upon unraveling the sails, Murphy and his crew set sail. As they started to sail toward the City of Priesthood, the waves started sshing against the vessel''s hull.


    As the seagulls pped their wings in the blue sky, the bright sun warmed the weather, and a ray of sunshine flickered through the window.


    As soon as everything had calmed down and the only thing left to do was sail towards their distance, the whole crew got themselves seated on several stools nailed to the wooden deck and sat for a while.


    Due to Isaac''sck of prior knowledge of the City of Priesthood, he expected the fishermen to be aware of what to expect and began asking questions.


    "What kind of ce is the City of Priesthood?"


    Murphy moved the bottle of soda away from his lips and said, "It is a beautiful city. It could be called Creation of Gods."


    His crew mate continued, "They worship Gods heavily there. That''s why it is City with the most Churches, and every adult, teenager, child, and even baby prays at least once every month to the Gods."


    "Oh, are the Gods present there?" Isaac asked.


    "Yes, very." Murphy said, "Once in a month, God ascends from God Realm, and helps them with whatever problem the City is facing, and does one teaching ceremony in the High Church."


    "Wow." Isaac already felt inquired about the City.


    "But¡­ There is one problem." A crew mate said with a wry smile.


    "Hmm?" Isaac turned to look at the hunched-back crew mater.


    Murphy continued, "The two factions are in a war, there."


    "War?" Isaac frowned, and the beautiful paradise began crumbling in his mind.


    "Ah." Murphy shook his hands after Isaac seemed to understand wrong, "They don''t fight or anything like that."


    "They are, after all, subjects of the same Gods, and they are basically allies, as such. But, they still hate each other."


    "The factions are Male Priests and Female Priestesses¡­ No one knows what happened for them to have such enmity between each other."


    "Hmm¡­" Isaac rubbed his chin and asked, "Are there many Priests and Priestesses there?"


    "Oh, yeah!" Murphy let out augh, "Thousands in each camp. Every time you go outside, you will see them roaming the streets."


    "And remember, whatever you do there, don''t mock the Gods. That will make everyone hate you."


    "Of course." Isaac nodded and thought it was obvious.


    "Good¡­ And, they basically worship Godly Legacy Carriers."


    Isaac raised his eyebrow and asked, "What about Mythical?"


    "Well¡­" Murphy bit his lip and shrugged his shoulders, "That is a slightly harder question."


    "It depends on whose Legacy they are carrying. There are few Mythical Legacies that they despise, while others are loved."

 Chapter 417 City Of Priesthood.

    Chapter 417 City Of Priesthood.


    The bright sun shone down on the sea, the calm waves sttered against the ship''s hull, and the sails continued to p.


    Isaac was sitting on the wooden stool, looking over the handrail at the blue sea below. In several instances, he saw arge shadow moving beneath them, but he thought that they were whales due to their shape.


    Also, the shadow was toorge to be anything else.


    However, he forgot one crucial thing. This was White Online and not real-life. This means that this world contains mysterious beings never before seen.


    Bam!


    A powerful wave pushed the ship to one side, and Murphy, as well as other crew members, suddenly fell down after the violent movement. It was shaking uncontrobly throughout the entire ship, and Isaac was finding it challenging to stay upright.


    "We are being attacked!" Murphy shouted, "Take the harpoon!"


    One of the crew mates rushed indoors and soon came back with a hand-held harpoon. The harpoon seemed sharp and deadly.


    "What is that?" Isaac asked after finally stabilizing.


    "The thing that will kill our attacker!" Murphy shouted while looking over the deck, trying to find the shadow of their attacker.


    The rest of the crewmates controlled the vessel, trying to sail further away, and some were looking for the target that they were after.


    At this point, Murphy noticed arge shadow swimming a little bit further away. At this moment, however, the shadow suddenly turned back and began swimming in the ship''s direction.


    "HERE!" Murphy''s voice attracted the crewmate who held the harpoon.


    He quickly rushed and aimed the harpoon toward the enormous shadow. Then, he uttered all his strength to push the trigger.


    A spear emerged from the harpoon gun and flew straight towards the shadow. Unfortunately, the shadow was able to submerge further into the water, and the spear missed its target by an indication of meters.


    "Damn!" They shouted. Then, the ship was again pushed, and everyone lost their footing. The harpoon flew across the air andnded somewhere on the deck.


    Isaac rubbed his head and stood up after getting knocked off his feet. Then, he saw the harpoon lying next to his feet. He took it into his arms and gazed over the board.


    As he gazed over the board, the faint shadow from underneath the sea began to reveal itself. The creature was an enormous shark with sharp and pointed teeth. The fin barely peeked above the surface of the water, and it looked like it was about to submerge again.


    Isaac instantly aimed and squeezed the trigger with every inch of his strength. The arm holding the harpoon trembled, and then the spear left the barrel.


    As the spear tumbled through the air, it followed a straight path to the sea. The spear drilled straight through the shark''s enormous body and into its very core.


    Isaac''s eyes shook at the harpoon''s destructive prowess.


    Then, the shark stopped moving, and the light dimmed off his eyes. But then, Isaac felt himself getting pulled toward the shark''s submerging body!


    Isaac mmed his feet into the handrail, trying to stop himself from falling to sea!


    "I gotcha, kid!" Out of nowhere, Murphy grabbed his shirt and yanked Isaac back with an incredible disy of physical strength.


    Then, Murphy snatched the harpoon off Isaac''s arms and tied the spear''s wire with mechanical gears.<del></del>


    Then, the gears started turning, and the wire tightened. Therge body of the shark was now dragging behind the ship.


    "Whew¡­" Isaac fell to the deck with visible exhaustion.


    "Good job, kid." Murphy patted his shoulder and went to check that everything was alright within the crew. Then, they all went to check that there wasn''t any damage on the ship.


    An hourter, everything was repaired and checked out.


    Isaac received a great amount of XP from the Shark and leveled up. His current level was now 121, and his ranking was near 300.


    "Kid, we have arrived!" Murphy''s shout came from indoors.


    Isaac stood up and saw a City in the distance. He could see already beautiful buildings and several mountains hosting temples.


    Soon, the ship was docked in the harbor. Isaac bid farewells to the fishermen and left through the slippery stairs.


    After his feetnded on the wooden harbor, he saw busy-looking fishermen and shipwrights.


    At the end of the harbor was the stone path that led to the streets.


    The harbor was still surrounded by stores, where everything fishermen needed was sold, food and equipment.


    Isaac waved toward Murphy and others. Then, he left the harbor through the stone path.


    Within seconds of reaching the streets, he was able to see people dressed in priest robes and coats. In addition to the warm weather, the bright blue sky also added to the beauty of the day.


    Buildings in the city were adorned with thick windows that gave a glimpse of their interiors. As Isaac looked around the city, he saw restaurants, inns, hotels, and other businesses bustling with customers.


    There were threerge mountains situated in the middle of the City. One of them belonged to the Priest faction, and surrounding the mountain were the buildings belonging to their Priests.


    Then, there was the mountain belonging to Priestesses, and there were buildings built below the mountain and on top of the mountain.


    The mountain''s weren''t extremely tall, only around a hundred meters.


    Then, there was the middle mountain, where one temple was situated. It was the High Temple, which was built in golden colors with square-shaped windows that were adorned against the walls.


    There was a stone staircase that led to the top of the building, decorated with a number of small statues depicting different gods. The temple''s entrance was crescent-shaped, and the yard was an empty space used for multiple purposes.


    There were also the Realm Portals ced around the High Temple''s yard. One of them was goldenly shaded, it was a realm portal that took to God''s Realm, and Gods used it to enter the City.


    Isaac stopped in the middle of the street. Below his feet were the solid pavements, and he could hear children''sughter in his left ear and happy discussions in his right.


    ''I think this will be where I will spend most of my time from now on¡­ Might as well buy a new house.''


    With his wealth, Isaac didn''t have difficulties renting or buying a new house. He was still renting the room in Be''s house. It was quite cheappared to the items he was buying these days.

 Chapter 418 Luminescent Swordsman.

    Chapter 418 Luminescent Swordsman.


    The first thing Isaac did upon his arrival in the City of Priesthood was tour the city with the intention of studying the area in depth.


    While walking, he had his Map out, and everything was getting more clear. On the map, the buildings started having their outlines, and the streets were bing more descriptive.


    In spite of nearly half an hour''s walking, Isaac had only been able to outline a small portion of the map. There was still a big portion left, but he didn''t n to do everything in one go.


    A hunch told him that he would stay in this city for a very long time, perhaps longer than he had ever stayed anywhere before.


    While yers were instantly starting to search for Portal to the third realm, Autumn Realm, Isaac was calmly enjoying the warm weather and blue sky.


    In a certain interview years ago, Arthur had said that to finish the game would take years, and since the game had already been released for more than a month and they had already reached the second phase, Isaac felt that to reach the third phase would be an incredibly challenging undertaking.


    While Isaac was walking further into the city, a shimmer of light came from the corner of his eye, and his attention was drawn to a tall building that stood out in the distance.


    After a while, he reached a ce where arge building, surrounded by a metal fence, was located. There was a gate and a yard with a lot of students learning the art of swordsmanship.


    The upper part of the gate had a sword symbol painted on it.


    [Training Facility of Swordsmen Located!]


    An image of a huge building was drawn on Isaac''s map, with letters jutting out above it. The training facility was engraved on his map permanently, never going to fade away.


    ''Training Facility... I wonder if there are more...'' Isaac slowly walked past the gates and looked at the eager children swinging their swords, sweat dripping down their tanned cheeks.


    Isaac soon resumed his walking and could see and hear a market area from afar. The NPCs sold a wide variety of foods that were apanied by the smell of delicious foods wafting through the air.


    There were children running between the adults and teenagers hanging out with their friend groups.


    Then, Isaac saw a group of children kneeling on the ground, a small table and statue on top only arms-length away.


    Their hands were clenched together, and they kept whispering to one another under their breaths. It can be seen that as soon as the statue heard their prayers, it started releasing a dim glow before fading away again.


    "Hmm¡­ It seems Gods are listening." Isaac nced to the sky and narrowed his eyes.


    "H-How dare you?!" A shout came from a nearby building. After that, several shouts followed, and an argument was ignited.


    Isaac frowned and looked toward the loud building. It was a book-renting store, and there seemed to be a male and a female arguing, both of them draped in priest robes.


    ''Priests?'' Isaac curiously entered the store and heard their argument closer.


    "I found this first!" The male Priest said while holding a book with a brand-new cover in a protective manner.


    "Hmph." The female Priestess pushed her chest forward and moved the strands of hair out of the way, "My Senior Sister told me to fetch that book, and if you don''t want to get in trouble, give it to me."


    "Hah!" The male Priest snorted and hid the book behind his back, "You can tell your Senior Sister to piss off!"


    "W-What?!" The Priestess covered her mouth in shock, then rage followed, "How dare you?! You ignorant ape!"


    "How dare you insult me?! You half-witted gori!"


    "G-G-Gori?!" The Priestess'' face turned red, and she grabbed the hilt of her robes with rage oozing out from her heart, "Y-Y-You will regret that!"


    "Pah!" The Priest showed his tongue and mockingly taunted the female Priestess.<del></del>


    The Priestess stomped on the floor and stomped out of the store, "T-T-This isn''t over!"


    "Bye, old hag!" The Priest grinned in a childish manner and went to purchase the book. The shop clerk looked exhausted after hearing the argument and quickly sold the item.


    The Priest proudly left the shop, while stepping out, he took a side nce at Isaac and said, "Priestesses¡­ They are bothersome. Better stay away from them, stranger."


    Isaac turned around to see his retreating back and chuckled, "This City is interesting."


    "Hello, wee to Book Le Cheus." The Shop Clerk said while cleaning the desk with a wet rag.


    "Hello, why is it called Le Cheus?" Isaac asked while walking toward the counter.


    The Shop Clerk shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I thought it would sound fancy."


    "Right¡­" Isaac''s mouth twitched, then he asked, "Do you know where the nearest City Hall is?"


    "Oh." The Shop Clerk raised his head and saw Isaac''s paleplexion, that somehow intensified his looks, "Traveler, I see¡­ Hmm, let me see."


    In the midst of rummaging through the shelves, the Shop Clerk found a folded map tucked away in a corner.


    He ced it on the counter and opened it. The whole City of Priesthood was visible on the map, and Isaac could finally see howrge the ce truly was.


    It was enormous, and the three mountains were a big reason why.


    The Shop Clerk pulled out a pencil from his pocket and drew a circle on top of one of the buildings, "This is the City Hall."


    "And this is¡­" Then, he drew another circle on top of a smaller building, "Where you are currently."


    "Ah, thanks. How much does this cost?" Isaac asked while folding the map and taking it into his arms.


    "You get it for one purchase from this store." He said.


    "Ah¡­ Let''s see¡­" Isaac went through the different selections of books and found an interesting one, "Luminescent Swordsman¡­"


    "I will buy this one." Isaac ced the book on the counter.


    The Shop Clerk nced at the cover and nodded, "Ah¡­"


    He nced around the store. It was currently empty.


    Then, he leaned closer and whispered, "Don''t tell anyone¡­ But, I have been reading this book for free when my boss isn''t here."


    "Is it any good?" Isaac asked while packing up the map and the book.


    "You will see." The Shop Clerk said with a sneaky wink.


    Isaac chuckled and nodded. He waved his hand while walking out of the store. Then, he ced the stic bag on the inventory and took out the map.


    Following the instructions, he began walking toward the City Hall to purchase a new house.

 Chapter 419 Lsaacs Store.

    Chapter 419 Lsaac''s Store.


    After a short time, Isaac reached arge three-story building with a crux sign on top of its front door and a nting roof made of white tiles.


    The walls of the room were painted yellow, and the stairs leading to the front door were decorated with marble.


    There was rush hour with the front door opening and closing.


    When a door opened, there was always a sound of talking traveling through the slight opening before disappearing again.


    Isaac walked up the stairs and entered the City Hall. It was a loud and chaotic building, filled with the sounds of shuffling papers and staplers being snapped together.


    On the second floor, there were two stairs leading up to the second floor, and just a short distance away, there were dozens of rooms where the whole process of buying a house to selling a house took ce.


    Isaac saw a sitting area not far, mostly full, with only one chair avable. Then, next to him was a small machine stuck in the wall with a message that said take a number.


    "Hmm¡­" Isaac pressed the button, and one small scrap of paper was puked out of the machine. The number showed 232, and it was his turn number.


    When Isaac turned around toward the rooms, there was a massive sign hanging from the ceiling with the number 198.


    "This will be a long wait¡­" With long sigh, Isaac walked to thest remaining seat and sat down.


    The number went up painfully slowly. There were few seats that emptied around him.


    After a while, more people began leaving the rooms. Some had looks of excitement, while others were just saddened while holding a wrinkled old paper, slowly getting crushed by the man''s fist.


    There were also many who came to City Hall to start their own business, but many failed to get approval and had to leave empty-handed.


    Tap! Tap! Tap!


    Isaac, with a side nce, saw an anxious-looking young man tapping his feet to the floor. His face was pale and nerve-wracked.


    "I have to get the approval¡­ I have to¡­" The young man bit his lip and muttered under his breath, "Otherwise, my family will be disappointed in me¡­ I have to get approval for Church¡­ I have to!"


    Isaac''s eyebrow rose, ''The strangeness of his City also increased by a notch.''


    Beep! Beep!


    Then, the sign began beeping, and the number 232 became visible.


    "Finally¡­" Isaac heaved a sigh after waiting close to an hour. He stood up, and under the watchful eyes of others, he went to the third room on the right and entered.


    After stepping inside the room, it was pretty empty with only one desk, a man sitting on the other side with papers in his hands.


    "Please, take a seat." He pointed at the seat on the other side of the desk.


    Isaac nodded and took a seat.


    "Well then, gentleman. What is your purpose here?" He asked while putting the papers in proper order and cleaning the mess on the desk.


    "I am here to buy a house," Isaac replied.


    "Are you new to the City?" He asked. The man was dressed in proper suit with a nametag hanging from his chest. It showed his name, Ray.


    "Yes."


    "Alright¡­" Ray took a sip of the coffee, then said, "Housing has been a big problem in the City of Priesthood. That''s why the number of Hotels and Inns had increased."


    "Ah¡­ I see."


    "While many choose to live there, the price of the houses also increased vastly."<del></del>


    "How much, exactly?" Isaac leaned closer and asked.


    "Well¡­ One million monthly is the usual price." Ray said with nonchnt expression.


    p??d? n?ve? Isaac''s eyebrow twitched, ''Holy shit!''


    Looking at his White Coins, there was no way he would buy house as expensive as that!


    [White Coins: 1,204,568]


    "Cough¡­" Isaac coughed out his shock and asked, "Well then, are there any two-floor stores selling?"


    "Ah, yes." Ray said and took one paper from the sea of papers, "The stores we have a lot, and this one is in a nice neighborhood."


    Ray showed a map of where the store was located and how it looked from the outside and inside.


    Isaac nodded thoughtfully, ''Price is also 100k per month¡­ It''s affordable.''


    "I take this," Isaac said, and Ray''s face beamed.


    "Good, it hasn''t been in use for long time, so it needs some cleaning and fixing, but otherwise, it is in prime location!" Ray quickly fetched paperwork, and Isaac gave his signature.


    After ten minutes, the paperwork was finished, and Isaac paid the starting amount. Then he received the keys and the exact location of the store.


    After that, Isaac left the room, and while walking toward the exit of the City Hall, he saw the trembling young man walking toward the room where he had just left.


    Creak!


    Isaac left the City Hall and began strolling toward his new residence. There were a lot of things to do before the sky became dark.


    The blue sky had changed to a vibrant orange hue, while an orange haze covered the horizon.


    After half an hour of skipping through the City, he found his store. It was on a street that was precisely in a prime spot.


    The market area wasn''t that far, and Church was only walking distance away. That was one of the reasons why the building was expensive. For many, Church being close was a blessing.


    His store was surrounded by other stores, like Book Store and Equipment Store.


    Isaac''s store was lined up with at least a dozen stores, and many were bustling with activity.


    He pulled out his key and twisted it on the store''s door. After it opened, a thick, musky scent of dust reached his nostrils and forced him to take a step back.


    The first floor was filled with thickyers of dust, and the floor was just unhygienic and dirty.


    Even the windows were filled with smudge, making it nigh-impossible to see the indoors of the store.


    After Isaac stepped inside, he saw a semirge first floor with stairs at the other end of the room leading to the second floor.


    The first floor was otherwise empty, except for one desk, previously used as a counter, and a broken wooden stool.


    Behind the desk were dusty shelves and empty photo frames.


    "Damn¡­" Isaac waved his hand, trying to push the dust away. He took the key from the keyhole, ced it on his Inventory, and closed the door.


    The store, which had been vacant for years, had its first owner for a long time, and the owner turned out to be quite special.

 Chapter 420 Last Visit.

    Chapter 420 Last Visit.


    ''''Let''s see¡­'''' Isaac scanned the first floor and nodded thoughtfully. The floor was rtivelyrge, enough to hold a store with room to spare.


    However, he didn''t exactly n to be a shopkeeper. He instead decided to use this ce as his headquarters while he lives in the Priesthood.


    ''''Even if I became shopkeeper¡­ What would I sell?'''' Isaac thought aloud and trailed his finger on the dusty counter. A thickyer of dust followed him, and his nose slowly clogged up.


    ''''I need to clean this ce before thinking about my future¡­'''' Isaac took a piece of fabric from his inventory and covered the lower half of his face.


    Then, he dusted off his hands and went to search for a storage room. Soon, he found a door covered in dirt, the same shade as the rest of the brownish walls.


    The storage room was filled with a bucket,ntern, a floor brush with handles that had cracked, dusty shelves, and various cleaning liquids.


    ''''Hmm¡­ I need this, this, and this.'''' Isaac grabbed the floor scrubbing brush, the bucket, and thentern.


    Then, he left the room while closing the door behind him.


    As he ced thentern on the desk, he pressed the switch on the side and watched a small me flicker before it started crackling, sending long, steady waves of heat into the room.


    Soon, the first floor was bathed in dim light, which was quite useful as the sun was setting. As the streets grew darker, the stores began emitting rays of light.


    ''''Now¡­ Water¡­ Are there any sinks, or showers here, at least?'''' Isaac grabbed the bucket and searched the first floor thoroughly. Then, he found another door close to the stairs. When he opened the door, he found a small bathroom with a toilet, a small shower, and a dirty sink.


    The sink was stained with some kind of ck ink and looked crude.


    Isaac positioned his bucket below the shower and turned the switch to the highest setting. The showers started out as dribbles of water that fell slowly, but as the drops built up, it became like heavy rainfall.


    Soon, half of the bucket was full, and Isaac turned off the water.


    When he returned to the first floor, he ced the bucket on the floor, grabbed the brush, dipped it inside, and began sweeping.


    The sky darkened faster and faster as the evening progressed. The orange shade changed to gray, and then it was changed to pure dark.


    The only light that emitted from the night sky was the light of the moon and stars that were far away.


    On top of that, there were hundreds of different stores and buildings that illuminated the streets with brilliant lights. In addition to that, streetmps were also very useful for lighting up the streets.


    Even though it was close to nighttime, the streets were still bustling.


    After hours of cleaning, Isaac saw that the dust was mostly gone, the floor still slightly dirty but much better. He stopped cleaning for now and took a rag from his inventory.


    He dipped it in the bucket and cleaned the windows in and out.


    The windows were difficult to clean, then he went to get those cleaning liquids, and the speed of cleaning increased explosively. Soon, all smudge and dirt were gone.


    The windows were shining, with no dirt in sight.


    Then, he returned to cleaning the floors with the help of the cleaning liquids, and he also removed the dust from the shelves.


    Then, a few hourster, a shimmer of light came from the window.


    That surprised Isaac, forcing him to check the clock. It was already 7 A.M, and unknown to him, he had actually cleaned the whole night.


    His eyelids didn''t feel heavy, his stomach didn''t rumble in hunger, and his mind was calm.<del></del>


    ''''Time flew¡­'''' Isaac said while pressing the switch on thentern. The fire died off.


    Then, he returned all the equipment to the storage room and went to check the second floor.


    The second floor''s hallways were filled with cracks, dirt, and dust. The wallpaper was slightly peeled off, allowing Isaac to see what the walls were made of.


    If the first floor was in bad shape, the second floor was even worse.


    But, the second floor was more important to him.


    There were three rooms. The first one was a quiterge room, Isaac decided to use it as a training space in the future.


    Then, the second room was slightly smaller, and Isaac decided to use it as his bedroom and spawn spot.


    The third room was the smallest, and it was the size of a cleaning closet.


    Isaac opened the room to the second and stepped inside. The room had everything he needed, enough space and room to move. But, there wasn''t any piece of equipment.


    Except for the broken stool on the first floor, which he had already decided to throw away.


    ''''I need to get my items from Stronglord¡­ But, how should I do it?'''' Isaac began pondering. There was slight difficulties with fetching the items.


    His spawn spot was in Rainwell currently, and Priesthood''s Realm Portals were in a sacred area¡ª going there was forbidden.


    That bothered him heavily because he couldn''t use them, instead, have to use teleportation pearl. But soon, Isaac figured out what to do.


    He decided to add his spawn spot on this current room, then use teleportation pearl to go to his rented room in Stronglord, get all the stuff there, and use their Realm Portals toe back to Priesthood.


    Now that he had visited Priesthood, he could use Realm Portals to travel in, and out. Still, Priesthood''s Realm Portals were unessible.


    He needed somehow to find a way to use them.


    Isaac quickly marked this room as his spawn spot.


    Then, he pulled out the Pearl and said, ''''Stronglord, home.''''


    p??d? n?ve? A bright room enveloped the whole building, causing nearby citizens to squint their eyes as the light reached their eyes.


    Then, Isaac''s figure had disappearedpletely.


    ¡­


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' Isaac opened his eyes and was standing on top of his soft bed. Without further ado, he picked up all the clothes from the wardrobe, stuffed them inside his inventory, and left the room.


    ''''Training Cube!'''' Isaac extended his hand toward the dark blue room, and the color faded away instantly, and a cube-like item emerged out of thin air.


    It slowly floated into his hand, and Isaac stored it inside his inventory.


    ''''Now¡­ The hardest part of this journey.'''' Isaac gazed at the door and decided to bid farewells to Be, who had be his close friend in a short time.

 Chapter 421 The Last Owner

    Chapter 421 The Last Owner


    Tap¡­ Tap¡­ Tap¡­


    Pitter¡­ Patter¡­


    Surprisingly, the crude weather of the Spring Realm reached the Summer Realm. The City of Stronglord was under heavy pour, the streets flooded with water, and the draining system was barely holding in.


    Isaac stepped out of his rented room and saw the heavy rain from the hallway window. The sky was gray, and dark clouds spread across the horizon.


    Then, he descended to the first floor and could already hear some activitying from the living room.


    After reaching the bottom, Isaac turned to face the living room and saw Be sitting on the couch, some kind of cube item in her hands, and she seemed to be struggling to open it.


    ''''Be?'''' Isaac''s voice caused her to jolt, and she immediately hid the item behind her back.


    She innocently smiled, acting like nothing happened, ''''H-hi!''''


    ''''What is that thing behind your back?'''' He asked while sitting down on a soft chair.


    ''''Pfft, nothing.'''' Be still hid the item under the pillow andy down on top of it.


    ''''Alright¡­'''' Isaac scratched the back of his head and looked Be straight in the eye, ''''I have something to talk about.''''


    Seeing his serious eyes, Be straightened her legs and waited.


    Isaac didn''t know how to break it down, so he just spoke his mind out, ''''You must have seen the number of yers reducing recently?''''


    Be nodded thoughtfully, ''''Y-Yes¡­''''


    ''''Well¡­ That is because there is a new ce where the yers can go to¡­ And, it''s generally better to grow stronger.''''


    Be''s eyes slightly widened, and she sat up, ''''You¡­ Does this mean?''''


    Isaac sighed and nodded, ''''I am moving away, now.''''


    Be''s eyes rippled, and her hands slowly tightened into a fist, ''''I see¡­ Well, I can understand¡­ That you have to go.''''


    Isaac slightly smiled and nodded, ''''If you don''t mind, I would still like to have the rented room in my name. I will still visit Stronglord in the future.''''


    ''''Of course¡­ Of course.'''' Be stood up, wrapped her slender arms around Isaac, and gave a quick hug before separating.


    Her face showed slight sadness and something hidden inside her beautiful gem-like eyes.


    ''''Well then¡­ I will miss your cooking.'''' Isaac gave a strained chuckle and returned to the upstairs.


    After he left, Be sat down with heavy shoulders and shaking eyes. Then, she pulled out the item and twisted it open.


    After the item was opened enough, a small holograph emerged.


    The holograph showed an image of a person, not a human, because he had horns. There was also a crazed grin stretching across his face and dark robes draped over his shoulders.


    ''''Listen¡­'''' Suddenly, the holographic spoke and Be listened. [  ]


    ''''The¡­ Spies¡­ Of our¡­ Majestic Demon Army¡­ You have only one job¡­ Find¡­ And destroy¡­ The Veil¡­'''' The holographic figure''s voice shook and trembled. It cut off multiple times, but Be understood it perfectly.


    Be''s beautiful blue eyes showed a tinge of dark red, and it looked like her face began melting. Slowly, a beautiful pair of horns poked through her forehead, and the tail popped out from her lower back.


    Her outfit turned sexy with revealing lines and curves. Her feet were slipped into long heels and tight knee socks.


    Be, softly, closed the item and sighed, ''''Sorry¡­ Isaac¡­ Maybe, if I find the Veil¡­ I can ask them to spare your life¡­ I am sorry¡­''''


    ''''No one can stop Demons from rising¡­ The only way to survive is to¡­ Learn to live with them¡­''''


    ¡­


    After receiving every item from his rooms, Isaac returned to the living room and noticed that Be was again gone.


    He didn''t stay there longer to wonder where she went and rushed toward Realm Portals under heavy rain.


    After reaching it, he quickly paid the Guards who were standing in the rain and returned to the Priesthood.


    After opening his eyes again, he was standing in his bedroom, in the store.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac left his room, closed the door, and went to therge room. In there, he ced the Training Cube on the floor, and it didn''t take long for the walls to turn dark blue.


    After that, Isaac returned downstairs and saw the floors had a lot of crevices, and sand was slightly pouring inside them.


    ''''So much to fix¡­ No wonder that Ray guy wanted to sell this so badly. No resident in Priesthood would actually buy this dump.''''


    Then, after a short while, Isaac returned to cleaning. He sat on the wooden floor and took the wooden stool into his arms.


    He checked if it was repairable, but the legs were a mess with screws tugged out and missing.


    Without finding the correct screws and nailing them back into the stool, it wasn''t possible to repair it. Also, it wasn''t exactly in prime condition and might notst a week.


    Knock! Knock!


    A sound of knocking came from the direction of the door out of nowhere.


    Isaac saw an old man with grayish hair and sunsses covering his aged eyes standing in the doorway.


    ''''Yes, may I help you?'''' Isaac slowly stood up, patting the dust off his buttocks while straightening his legs.


    ''''Ah¡­ No¡­ I am just surprised that someone bought this¡­ Store.'''' The old man said with an aged tone. His voice was hoarse and strained.


    ''''Ah, yes¡­ This ce must have on sold¡­ For a long time.'''' Isaac said while tracing his finger on the crevices, his finger almost pushing through. That tells a lot about the size of the cracks if even his finger could fit through.


    ''''Yeah, haha¡­ Cough!'''' The old man chuckled before his cough stopped it.


    After his coughing fit stopped, he asked, ''''Will this shop open any time soon?''''


    ''''Not sure¡­'''' Isaac didn''t know how to reply and gave a strained answer.


    ''''Alright¡­ This store has a lot of history behind¡­'''' The old man reminisced, ''''Even a God used toe here¡­ To buy things¡­ That caused our neighborhood''s reputation to soar, by mile¡­''''


    ''''Shame that thest owner died¡­ He was basically a legend, and with his help¡­ This neighborhood could have been the biggest one¡­''''

 Chapter 422 Sub-Class

    Chapter 422 Sub-ss


    One weekter.


    From the outside, the store that was bought by Isaac looked intimate and cozy. The first floor now had bookshelves spread around the first floor, making it look like an ordinary book store.


    There were also soft-looking chairs and couches ced next to the walls. Then, there was a long carpet spanning throughout the whole floor and even went up the stairs.


    There werenterns, gasmps, and all sorts of light sources that illuminated the floor in warm colors.


    The citizens that walked past the store looked interested and wanted to take a look inside, but the sign that said closed stopped their thoughts.


    The second floor was dim, not even the slightest of light was seen from there.


    Currently, behind the now-cleaned counter, Isaac sat on top of a wooden chair with a soft-padded seat. In front of him was a holographic screen, floating with texts written on it.

    During the past week, Isaac had earned XP by doing side-quests and killing sea beasts. His current level was mesmerizing 142 and was at top-level in terms of levels.


    Afterpleting the 100th side-quest, he received the sub-ss quest and finished it within a day.


    Now, he had to choose one of the sub-sses, but Isaac was in a dilemma. He thought about opening the store, but he couldn''t choose which ss would choose him the best.


    The side-quests were mostly helping people, and Isaac''s reputation kept climbing upward among themon folk.


    His unusual looks made him already semi-popr, and it wasn''t a rare sight to see people staying on standby, trying to catch a glimpse at him when he passed the window or left the store.


    ''''What to choose¡­'''' Isaac rubbed his forehead, trying to get his mind gears running. When he looked at the bookshelves and cozy atmosphere, he definitely didn''t want to start selling fish that would make the cozy atmosphere ruined.


    The stench alone would make him shudder in displeasure.


    The musician was rather interesting, but that would need a lot of practice.


    His store also didn''t fit for the kitchen, so Cook was out of the question. But, remembering Be, she had the ability to increase his Vitality with her food.


    If his cooking ability became so high, maybe he would be able to increase his Vitality until he was almost immortal. But that was a long shot, and he scrapped that idea.


    The cksmith was a no-go. The people in Priesthood doesn''t really use metal weapons.


    The tailor could have been a nice choice, but it wasn''t perhaps the best one for earning money.


    The architect was again a good choice. Isaac could use his real-life knowledge to build houses never seen before, but again, it felt rather dull to him.


    Spearman was the first option he scrapped. That ss was perhaps more suited for people using the Spear.


    Even though Isaac had the de attached to the sniper rifle, using it as a spear didn''t really fit him.


    Carriage Driver was a useless option. Maybe it would have been good like a month ago, but not anymore.


    The doctor was quite a difficult choice because there were yers with Medic and Healer sses. They would be able to do the Doctor''s job in a matter of seconds.


    The farmer was a no-go. There was no way he would leave Priesthood to go farming.


    The merchant was alright, but that needed a shrew mind to work, and he would need to be incredibly cunning. That again went against what he wanted to do, and that was to operate the store.


    The novelist was quite interesting. His store already had that book store vibe. Very cozy, intimate, and warm. Definitely, a good ce to read and rent a novel.


    Then, there was Pirate, which would again force him to leave Priesthood to go to the seas, and most likely, he would be a criminal, which would mean he would get kicked out of Priesthood.


    ''''Difficult choice¡­'''' Isaac muttered under his breath.


    Knock! Knock!


    p??da n?vel A sound of knocking suddenly came from the slightly open door.


    Isaac turned toward the sound and saw a man with a priest outfit standing in the doorway.


    ''''Yes?'''' Isaac stood up while nodding his head slightly. The shopkeepers need to show some sign of respect toward the Priests and Priestesses. They were, after all, messengers of gods.


    ''''Hello.'''' The Priest said and looked around the store before continuing, ''''Do you know what happens tomorrow?''''


    Isaac moved away from the counter and slowly walked toward the door while shaking his head.


    The priest waited until Isaac stopped walking, a meter away from him, and said, ''''Tomorrow is the day of God Bringing, and since you must not know our culture, everyone gathers in the High Temple at noon.''''


    ''''Ah.'''' Isaac''s eyes widened in surprise.


    God Bringing meant that God or Goddess woulde tomorrow to make a visit. Everyone would go to the High Temple to wee God with open arms.


    ''''When the bells ring¡­ Start making your way there.'''' The Priest looked outside and saw several shopkeepers peeking through their windows, trying to see what was happening.


    ''''Alright.'''' Isaac nodded.


    The Priest nodded and mentioned, ''''By not going there would make you seem disrespectful, that you don''t care about our culture. So, you only have to show your face there, nothing else.''''


    ''''I understand¡­'''' Isaac watched as the Priest took a step outside, about to leave, but then he quickly asked, ''''Excuse me, are there more people like me going there?''''


    ''''Ah¡­ Yes.'''' The Priest sighed with a slight heavy look, ''''These¡­ So-called yers¡­ Have been some troubletely¡­ Not you, but some neers don''t really respect our profession.''''


    ''''I see¡­'''' Isaac nodded, and then the Priest finally left.


    After closing the door, Isaac returned to his chair and looked at the options. His mind continued running, and his brain was slowly starting to hurt.


    ''''God damn it¡­ Such a difficult choice.'''' Isaac closed the holographic screen and continued massaging his temple.

 Chapter 423 Gods Bringing

    Chapter 423 Gods Bringing


    The following day.


    Flutter¡­ Flutter¡­


    Isaac casually flipped through the pages of the book he was holding. On the cover of the book, a dark-haired man was seen sitting on a throne, while an almost identical man stood right beside him.


    It was the book he recently rented, Luminescent Swordsman.


    ''''Wow¡­ That was quite unexpected.'''' Isaac said after reaching the end of another volume. Then, he closed the book and ced it on the bookshelf.


    After doing so, a long-awaited sound traveled through the air of the Priesthood.


    Ring¡­ Ring¡­ Ring¡­


    The loud bells rang, and instantly, the nearby stores had their doors mmed open and closed.


    The shopkeepers, ordinary civilians, and basically everyone started marching toward the High Temple.


    Isaac left the store, closed the door behind, and followed the vast crowd.


    Everywhere he looked, he saw a sea of people. Everyone had the same destination, and it was the High Temple.


    The long stairs were already upied by thousands of people, and slowly they walked up and reached the High Temple''s yard.


    Isaac saw several yers. They weren''t hard to notice, wearing heavy armory and metal weapons.


    They seemed confused as they followed behind the crowd and looked way out of ce.


    Isaac, however, felt the strength of the yers, and everyone was as strong as him, if not stronger.


    Soon, Isaac had reached the stairs and slowly walked up. There were elderly folks walking up ahead, which slowed down the walking even more.


    After ten minutes, he finally reached the top and saw thousands kneeling in the yard, hands grabbed together in a praying gesture.


    Isaac soon found his own ce and knelt on the ground, his knees touching the coarse ground, hands slowly touching together, and fingers locked.


    After half an hour, the High Temples doors opened, and two figures exited through separate doors.


    The first figure was the High Priest, named Robert Highsoul, and following him were hundreds of Priests, looking very respectful and quiet.


    Then, the second figure that exited another door was a High Priestess named Matilda Highsoul. Behind her were hundreds of beautiful Priestesses, everyone unique in their own way.


    After Priests and Priestesses locked gazes, their faces turned hostile, and if it wasn''t a Gods Bringing, they would throw all reasoning away and start a fist fight.


    As Robert and Matilda saw each other, they let out a sigh before averting gazes. They were actually ex-husband and ex-wife.


    Robert was a handsome man, around 40s of age with a still muscr body, dark hair, and blue eyes that shone brilliantly under the sunlight.


    Matilda was an extremely beautiful woman with a tall body, around 190cm, and a heart-shaped face that increased her attractiveness to a whole new level. Even though she was beautiful, she had some cute facial features as well, like a pointy nose and pink-colored lips.


    Then, the golden portal suddenly shone in brilliant colors. Slowly, the color turned ice blue, and a slight sense of coldness began seeping out.


    But, no one flinched, not even one bit. ????w???ov??.co?


    Slowly, a leg appeared that stepped out of the portal. The first thing that was noticeable was the pale leg with fragile-looking feet slipped inside blue-colored heels.


    Then, the rest of the body became clear. The hair was beautifully white, eyes silverish, and the face that could be only seen in fairy tales inhumanly beautiful. Every feature of hers was delicate to the brim, but her body was hidden underneath the baggy robes.


    The Priests, Priestesses, and everyone else inhaled their lungs full of air before shouting.


    ''''Wee to our humble city, Goddess of Snow, Khione!''''


    The voice rang throughout the city, and after that, everything quieted.


    Isaac slowly raised his head to catch a glimpse of the famous Goddess and surprisingly saw her misty eyes turning to look at him!


    Isaac''s body instantly felt cold, like something seeped into his bones, ''C-C-Cold¡­ M-M-Maybe she is still angry about my¡­ Trolling?''


    ''Nah¡­ No way¡­ She is Goddess. There is no way that she still harbors some anger¡­ Right? She can''t be that childish¡­ Yeah, she can''t be¡­''


    High Priest Robert, and High Priestess Matilda, slowly rose and looked straight at Khione. Both of them felt their breath slightly stop after seeing her but soon returned normal.


    ''''Goddess of Snow, Khione, we are truly honored.''''


    ''''Right¡­'''' Khione''s melodious voice brought a sense of satisfaction to everyone who heard it.


    The people present closed their eyes, enjoying the sense of mild cold that wasn''t as cold as it could be.


    Khione slowly stepped down the stairs and soon felt the coarse ground below her heels.


    Robert and Matilda lowered their heads as the Snow Goddess walked past them.


    Khione walked toward the thousands of ordinary citizens, who instantly showed their undying loyalty by lowering their heads even further.


    Only Isaac and a hundred other yers continued kneeling in the same position, with slight wariness toward the unknown future.


    ''''Everyone¡­'''' Khione stopped in front of the kneeling people and said, ''''Among you¡­ There is a person¡­ Who is not ordinary¡­''''


    The Priests and Priestess turned their gazes toward the Goddess, wondering what she meant by that.


    The people, who were being blessed by Khione''s presence, slowly rose their heads and felt immediately like they were submerged in heavy, godly existence.


    ''''That person¡­ Is¡­ Somewhere here¡­'''' Khione''s lip slightly curved upward. She slowly extended her arm forth and pointed at everyone present.


    After seeing her beautiful smile, everyone felt their breaths stopping.


    In the middle of the citizens, Isaac frowned and continued looking at Khione. Even though the finger wasn''t pointing at him, he felt like it actually was, but no one just could see it.


    ''''Well¡­ Anyway¡­'''' Khione pulled her arm back and returned to the High Temple.


    The High Priest, and High Priestess, followed by others, stepped aside and allowed Khione to walk inside.


    After the doors were closed, High Priest Robert said, ''''From now onward, till the end of next week, we are in a time of Gods Bringing, and remember, we are in the presence of Goddess.''''


    ''''Yes, High Priest!'''' Everyone stood up, bowed respectfully, and then started walking down the long, rocky stairs


    Isaac and the yers were almost run over, but they soon managed to turn around and follow the crowd of people who were descending the long stairs.

 Chapter 424 lsaac The Shopkeeper

    Chapter 424 lsaac The Shopkeeper


    The light was shining brightly on Whitelock Residence. The living room was upied by the whole family while therge TV screen showed a movie.


    Maxwell and Isabe upied one of the couches, their fingers entwined.


    Alice and Sophia were seated on their own chairs, their gazes firmly on the TV screen.


    Marvin and Mark were whispering while watching the movie with a side nce.


    Isaac was sitting alone on his chair, his gaze was on the TV screen, but his thoughts were far from it.


    As the bright lights shed on the screen, Isaac thought, ''What sub-ss to choose¡­ I can''t afford to waste any more time. I have to choose something, and quick!''


    ''Having good ie would be preferable¡­ That way, I don''t have to focus on gathering the items monsters drop, and can only focus on killing¡­''


    ''But¡­ To have a good ie, I would need to increase the poprity of my store and to do that, I need some product¡­ Never before seen.''


    As Isaac thought, his gaze slightly shifted from the screen to the nearby bookshelf. He could catch a glimpse of the covers, and an idea popped up in his head.


    ''What if¡­ I copy an item from real-world¡­ There is more advanced stuff and stories that would make everyone''s jaw drop in the other world¡­''


    ''Now¡­ I get it!'' Isaac jumped to his feet and began making his way over to the stairs.


    ''''Lil bro, where are you going? The movie is only halfway done.'''' Marvin''s voice came from the living room.


    ''''To my room, I have seen the movie already,'''' Isaac replied and ran quickly to his room. Once there, he ced the headset firmly around his head and plopped down on the bed.


    ¡­


    After returning to his store, Isaac went straight to the storage room. In there, he opened a box that containedrge stacks of papers and pencils.


    He grabbed the box and carried it back to the counter. Afterward, he took out the stacks of paper and one pencil.


    Then, he said, ''''Sub-ss Quest.''''


    Without further ado, the holographic screen emerged out of nowhere, and Isaac instantly pressed the one he chose as his sub-ss.


    [Novelist - Selected!]


    [Novelist: Allows you to create stories with only your imagination being the limit]


    Isaac''s mind started running, and he instantly learned how to write an engaging story. His imagination began running wild, and a story began forming inside his mind. But also, his memory was incredible.


    He could remember every single story he had ever read.


    For now, he pushed his crazy story ideas aside and started writing on paper a story he had read in real-life at least once.


    Soon, the sky went dark, and the store turned pitch ck.


    After a long time, a blue sky returned, and the residents of Priesthood started their new day.


    Inside Isaac''s store, he was still sitting behind the counter, stacks of papers on the desk.


    Then, after the final word was written, Isaac showed a smile, ''''Amazing¡­ I remembered everything so vividly.''''


    In front of him was a story that he had read a long-time ago, but he could remember every single word,ma, and dialogue.


    Then, Isaac put the papers in proper order from pages 1 to 265.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Publish/Save]


    A holographic screen appeared above the papers, and Isaac didn''t hesitate as he pressed Publish.


    The papers started floating immediately, and it didn''t take long for the papers to be a hard copy book with an actual cover!


    Slowly, the booknded on the desk, and only the name was needed anymore.


    ''''Well¡­ To respect the Novelist''s name, I will name the book The Tale of One-Handed Sword.''''


    After he finished speaking, the words began showing on the cover.


    [The Tale of One-Handed Sword]


    [10000 XP Earned!]


    ''''Ah¡­ I get XP too¡­ Interesting.'''' Isaac stood up while taking the book into his arms. Then, he went to a nearby bookshelf and neatly ced it on the first spot, Fantasy Books.


    Isaac then looked around the store and saw how empty it truly was, his shoulders slightly slumped, ''''Damn¡­ I need to write¡­ A lot.''''


    ¡­


    One weekter.


    ''''Haahh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' Isaac wiped his sweat and named thest book before cing it on the bookshelf.


    The store lookedpletely different than only a week ago. All the bookshelves were full of different-colored and named books.


    The atmosphere in the store was still warm and cozy. There was also the scent of fresh wood wafting through the air.


    Isaac walked toward the front door, slightly opened it, and flipped the sign until it said open.


    After two weeks, the store was finally open for customers. During the writing process, his level increased by another 8, which was now 150.


    Isaac returned to the counter and began waiting for the first customers.


    Surprisingly, he didn''t have to wait even a minute.


    The door opened, and a middle-aged woman stepped inside the store while holding a hand of a little girl, around age 6.


    ''''Wee,'''' Isaac said with his usual melodious voice that caused everyone''s ears to ring with pleasure.


    The middle-aged woman smiled gently and looked around the store with her daughter.


    Then, after checking out the fantasy and action shelves, she asked, ''''Do you have books for children in a sale?''''


    ''''Yes, we do.'''' Isaac stood up and casually walked to a nearby bookshelf. Since he thought about opening the store for every age, he, of course, included children''s books in the collection.


    The middle-aged woman and her child followed after him. Soon, they reached a section with fairy tales.


    Isaac''s finger hovered in front of dozen different books, and he pulled one of them out, ''''We have Fairy Tales¡­ Like this one.''''


    He showed a book with the title ''Tale of Baba Yaga''.


    ''''But, this might be too scary for¡­ Little ones.'''' He was about to put it back on the shelf, but then he felt a tug on his sleeve.


    The middle-aged woman''s eyes shook as she asked, ''''Is this a book about Mythical Creature, Baba Yaga?!''''


    ''''Yes, that''s the one.'''' Isaac nodded.


    ''''We take this!'''' She said in a hurry and took out her money pouch. With seemingly no care, she pushed it into Isaac''s arms and grabbed the book.


    ''''T-Thanks!'''' She quickly left the store afterward, her daughter closely following behind.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac opened the money pouch, and his eyes widened in surprise, ''''This has at least 100 thousand White Coins!''''

 Chapter 425 Snow Goddess Visit

    Chapter 425 Snow Goddess'' Visit


    After a day since the store''s opening, its fame started spreading around the neighborhood, and the traffic was quite immense.


    While the first batch of customers came to check the store out of curiosity, in the end, they became very interested in the books, never-seen-before books.


    Each had a different plot and storyline. The characters were deep and unique. Each word had its own attraction points that were rare already, but when there were close to a hundred simr books, it was mesmerizing and also odd.


    Suddenly, hundred excellent and well-written stories appeared in this small store, each book better than thest. It raised a lot of suspicions and wonder.


    The Priests and Priestesses soon heard about this small store and came to visit. In the end, they left with a bag of books, interested in what they were about.


    Isaac''s wealth was increasing rapidly, and soon, even he wouldn''t know what to do with all the money.


    At the current time, the store was bustling with customers wandering around, checking every book. There were children gathered around the fairy tale section, teenagers around romance, and fantasy, while middle-aged and elderly focused on drama.


    Isaac was seated behind the counter, a leather-covered book in his hand.


    Then, a customer appeared with a book in his hands. He had thick sses and baggy clothes.


    ''''E-Excuse me¡­''''


    ''''Yes?'''' Isaac raised his head away from the book and looked straight at the timid-looking man.


    The timid-looking man slightly moved his sses up the bridge of the nose and asked, ''''About this book¡­ Who is this author?''''


    He ced the book on the desk and pointed at the name.


    ''''Well¡­ It has the name written.'''' Isaac raised his eyebrow, wondering what his question was.


    ''''I-I meant¡­ Where is he from?'''' He asked again with a more embarrassed tone, ''''This book¡­ It was made by a genius¡­ I would love to meet him one day.''''


    ''''Ah¡­'''' Isaac scratched his head. The author was from his world and had been dead for nearly four decades.


    ''''He has¡­ Passed away.'''' Isaac said and turned back to read the book.


    ''''Ah¡­ I see¡­'''' The timid-looking man returned the book to the shelf and left with slumped-down shoulders and a heavy look.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Isaac shook his head while sighing and resumed reading.


    The time passed, and soon, the store was empty of customers. It was almost time for daily praying gestures, and that''s when almost everyone was at their home.


    Ding! Ding!  door''s bell rang as it was opened. A whiff of cold air escaped from outside and entered the store.


    ''''Wee,'''' Isaac said while flipping through the pages. He didn''t even nce in the direction of the door because the scene in the book stole all his attention.


    Tap¡­ Tap¡­ Tap¡­


    Calm, soft, delicate footsteps echoed throughout the small store. The footsteps grew closer and closer, the heels nked against the soft carpet, and a beautiful shadow was slowly looming over Isaac.


    Isaac saw everything going dark. He couldn''t see even the text because of the sudden shadow. A slight breeze of cold extended throughout his body, and his fingers turned stiff.


    Isaac slowly turned to look at the person, and his beautiful gray eyes shook in surprise.


    The person in front of him was a beautiful, cold-faced woman with a beautiful blue dress that left her arms and the side of her legs open.


    Thest time he saw her, she was wearing baggy robes that fully covered her body, but now¡­ It was like night and day. Her beauty increased to a whole new level, and even the lightsing from the stars turned dim when next to her.


    Isaac quickly stood up, threw the book away, and bowed, ''''Snow Goddess Khione, how may I be of assistance?''''


    It wasmon knowledge to bow in front of a Godly figure, at least in Priesthood. Not doing it may cause a terrible disaster in Spring Realm.


    Khione''s piercing, beautiful cold silverish eyes gazed at him without stopping. The seconds felt like minutes, and minutes felt like hours.


    After a long two minutes, she turned around and returned to the bookshelves. She began trailing her finger alongside the covers, curiosity oozing out of her eyes as she carefully checked every book.


    Isaac slowly straightened his back. A cold sweat had drenched his back.


    After five minutes, Khione pulled out a book from the fairy tale section. Her lips slightly curved up, and with the amused look, she returned to the counter.


    She ced a book on the desk. The cover was ice blue with snowke patterns and a name that said The Snow Queen.


    ''''It will be for free,'''' Isaac said with sweatdrops trailing down his forehead. He heard from his customers that it was custom to give everything free to Gods and Goddesses. It was the least they could do.


    ''''No¡­ I will pay¡­'''' Khione said while slowly taking out her money pouch, ''''You are, after all¡­ Running a business¡­''''


    She took several coins from the pouch and ced them on the counter. The amount she gave was close to 10,000 white coins.


    ''''Thank you.'''' Isaac gave another bow and quickly pocketed the money.


    Khione took the book, and before she left, her silverish eyes again looked at Isaac, ''''I didn''t know¡­ You were a Novelist.''''


    ''''I¡­ I am not.'''' Isaac shook his head and slowly tried to warm up his fingers that were about to turn to ice!


    ''''But¡­ You wrote all of these¡­'''' Khione took a quick nce at the store and pursed her lips, ''''Didn''t you?''''


    ''''How are you so sure?'''' Isaac asked and stuffed his hands into his pockets, trying to warm them somehow.


    ''''I can feel your¡­ Presence in every book.'''' Khione said and finally walked away, which also removed the coldness. However, she didn''t leave the store, instead went to a nearby couch and sat down gently.


    The beautiful dress did not even get a single wrinkle, and her beautiful body was slowly pushing the dress forward, thus highlighting the curves of her body to perfection.


    Isaac removed his hands from the pocket and let out a long sigh, ''Whew¡­ I thought I was going to freeze to death¡­ This feels like¡­ She is trying to troll me¡­''

    Chapter 426 lsaac''s own Story


    ''Wait¡­ She is going to stay here?'' Isaac thought to himself as he saw Khione taking afortable position on the couch, crossing her legs, leaning further into the soft backrest, and resting the book on her softp.


    As Khione slowly skimmed through the pages, she began tapping her finger against the cover. The corner of her lip curved up a few degrees, and her silverish eyes showed a tinge of amusement.


    Isaac slowly took a book with a leather cover from the drawer and ced it on top of the counter. Then, he returned to the page where he left off and began reading the text inside his mind.


    However, only a few sentencester, a cold wind breezed past him, and an indifferent voice followed.


    ''''Isaac¡­ That was your name, wasn''t it?'''' Khione''s cold eyes peeked past the book and studied Isaac''s figure very thoroughly.


    Isaac winced and quickly organized his thoughts before replying, ''''No¡­ It''s actually Wraith.''''


    Khione''s lips curved up even further, shing a beautiful smile, ''''Are you sure it actually isn''t Isaac2 or Isaac3?''''


    ''''Ahem¡­'''' Isaac cleared his throat while caressing his itching neck, ''''No¡­ Only Wraith, ahem¡­''''


    ''''Right¡­'''' Khione, with an amused smile, turned her gaze back to the book. The shimmer of light shone through the window and caused her beautiful white hair to glisten.


    Taking a strand of her hair and winding it around her delicate ear, she began reading.


    The time slowly passed, and the crowd outside the story was growing bigger. The curtains were wide open, and everyone could see the beautiful Goddess, rxing on the couch, reading with her beautiful face crunched with concentration.


    There were several people already kneeling on the stone-paved ground, touching it with their foreheads and repeating the movement hundreds of times.


    It didn''t take long for the whole neighborhood to hear about Khione''s surprise visit to the new bookstore. That caused news to spread through the Priesthood, and more people rushed there to pray.


    The Priests and Priestesses were shocked to hear such news but didn''t go there. They knew that disturbing whatever Goddess was doing could cause a stroke of bad luck to loom over them.


    After half an hour, Khione ripped her gaze away from the book and softly closed it. She returned it to the bookshelf and said softly,


    ''''I am done reading¡­ I mighte back in the future¡­ To rent more books.'''' As she left and the door was further opened, a loud chorus of prayers reverberated inside the store and echoed into Isaac''s ears.


    Isaac''s tense muscles finally rxed, and he closed the book, ''''Whew¡­ She was definitely angry at me...''''


    His back was drenched, dripping liquids falling down his lower back and staining the chair below.


    After ncing outside, he could see the endless group of people still gathered. Isaac walked towards the door, slightly opened it, and extended his hand out of the store.


    Then, he flipped the sign until it said closed and locked the door before closing.


    Isaac went to thenterns that were mounted on the walls. He flicked the switch and watched as the soft glow disappeared and the first floor turned dark.


    He returned to the counter, grabbed several stacks of papers, and took fountain pens and pencils from the drawer. Then, he returned to his room situated on the second floor.


    Isaac ced everything on his arms on the wooden desk and opened the curtains slightly. A soft glow of moonlight peeked through the window and illuminated the whole desk.


    Then, Isaac went to fetch a gasmp, and once he found one from the storage room, he returned to his bedroom, ced it on the desk, and flicked the switch on.


    Soon, warm dancing lights ovepped the whole room and caused the previous pitch darkness to slowly get torn apart.


    Isaac got seated on the chair and ced the stacks of papers into smaller piles. After there were six smaller stacks in front of him, he put half of them into the drawer and moved the rest slightly aside.


    Then, he took a fountain pen, dipped it in the ck ink that was already found on the desk, and grabbed the first paper from the stacks.


    As the fountain pen hovered above the paper, Isaac thought aloud, ''''What to write¡­ I wrote already enough real-world stories¡­ I would now like to write my own story¡­''''


    The Novelist sub-ss allowed Isaac to go way beyond his writing talent and reach the secret ce in his brain that was unknown even to him. There, endless waves and storms of imaginationshed out and filled his mind.


    Several scenes yed on his mind. Some caused goosebumps around Isaac''s skin, some were terrifying, and some were blood-pumping with excitement running through his veins.


    As the imagination ran wild, endless rows of words appeared on Isaac''s mind.


    The fountain pen slowly began moving across the paper, and rows of words appeared. Isaac''s eyes turned dull, and his face emotionless. Afterward, the speed of writing increased explosively.


    As the moon started slowly disappearing, the blue sky and glowing yellow sphere appeared. It was again morning with the gasmp almost drained from the gas.


    Only a flicker of small candlelight was seen inside, and it was a miracle that it hadn''t died out yet.


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' Then, Isaac''s eyelids fluttered, and he was tossed out of the weird state of enlightenment. Beads of cold sweat poured down his skin. His eyes showed his confusion as he saw the blue sky, fire barely flickering, and the busy streets.


    ''''How¡­ long did I write?'''' Isaac dropped his gaze and saw almost two hundred pages written!


    His eyes shook, and he started re-reading the pages. More and more shock appeared as the scenes got tenser and more vivid.


    ''''I¡­ Wrote this?'''' Isaac''s hands shook, and he dropped the papers back to the desk.


    Knock, knock!


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Several strong-sounding knocks echoed throughout the house. Isaac saw from the window that the entrance was bustling, and the store should have opened ten minutes ago.


    He quickly hid the written papers in the drawer, ced the fountain pen, and pencils on the cupboard, and ran to the first floor.

 Chapter 427 Soft Footsteps

    Chapter 427 Soft Footsteps


    After Isaac opened the door and flipped the sign until it said open, he returned to the counter as the customers swarmed the store with excitement visible on their countenances.


    They were well aware that they were shopping in a store that was good enough for Goddess to visit. As they walked past the couch that was used by Khione, they felt important as a person.


    Isaac was quite busy as the shopkeeper for the next hour. As more and more customers crammed inside the store, it was getting harder to move.


    But, the customers dly understood to quickly pick up a book and rent it.


    As more time passed, Isaac''s wealth increased by an astronomical sum, and a rxed smile was seen on his face.


    After the store''s rush hour was over and only several customers were left, the door again opened, and a fragrance of delicious scent wafted through the store.


    The customers inhaled the scent with red faces, blush spreading across their faces, and thirsty looks on their countenances.


    Tap¡­ Tap¡­ Tap¡­


    Khione''s soft footsteps went past the drunk-looking customers, grabbed a book while stepping, and ced it on top of the desk. The customers finally were jolted off their drunken state and looked embarrassed at the way they acted.


    "Sorry, Goddess." They bowed respectfully, dropped the books they were holding, and ran out of the store. The streets were again crowded with fervent-looking people.


    "I am back¡­" She said with her eyshes slowly moving up and down. Her long white eyebrows looked delicate to the brim, and her ample body was fused with a perfume that made it difficult for everyone to stay calm.


    "Yes¡­ You are back¡­" Isaac massaged his temple with his left thumb and middle finger. Then, he tried to erase his annoyed look, took the money Khione owned and ced the pouch in the drawer.


    Khione''s face showed an innocent smile, her cold countenance was somehow reced by a gentle demeanor, and her eyes were curved into a smile.


    "You have something¡­ On your cheek." She said while showing a spot on her soft-looking left cheek.


    "Hmm?" Isaac moved his hand across his left cheek and afterward checked his palm. It was stained with ck ink, and it seemed toe from the nk ink he used to write with.


    "Ah, excuse me." Isaac wiped the nk ink off his cheek and quickly went to the bathroom to clean it up.


    Khione, with a smile, returned to her couch. Took afortable spot on it and opened the book.


    As her delicate finger slowly tapped against the cover, the time slowly passed.


    Soon, Isaac returned from the back room and saw the prying eyesing from outside. Even though many were kowtowing, they used every chance to peek at Khione to show their evesting love and loyalty.


    With a sigh, he closed the curtains and flicked the switch on the mountednterns to give even the slightest bit of light to the now-dark room.


    Khione didn''t seem to care about the closed curtains. She continued flipping through the pages, her eyes quickly moving past the paragraphs.


    Isaac returned to the counter and plopped down on the chair. Even though he didn''t sleep even a winkst night, there wasn''t even an ounce of sleepiness visible.


    ''For some reason, I don''t feel tired anymore¡­ Is it the Mythical Helmet? Maybe it takes off my sleepiness and injects me with energy.''


    An hourter, Khione straightened her legs and stood up from the couch. She returned the book to the bookshelf and suddenly asked, "Do you like the cold?"


    With a side-nce, she saw Isaac''s gray eyes looking at the wooden ceiling.


    Isaac shrugged his shoulders, not taking his eye off the ceiling, "I like cold more than hot."


    "I see¡­" A silent smile found its way to Khione''s face. With her ring finger, she drew circles on the air, and suddenly all the cold air left the store, and the sun''s warmth spilled through the slightly open door.


    Isaac''s brows furrowed slowly, turning his gaze to Khione''s retreating back. He could see her smile from the window''s reflection, and he wasn''t sure why, but he had a bad feelinging from that innocent smile.


    "See you¡­ Tomorrow." She waved and stretched her hand out while putting enough force into her palm to push the door wide open.


    "Is it just me¡­ Or is it hotter here?" Isaac touched his forehead and felt beads of sweat clearly forming. After checking out his palm, it was drenched.


    "Damn¡­ Where did all the cold air leave? It''s so hot!"


    ¡­


    The next day.


    "Whew¡­" Shirtless Isaac was leaning against the counter. Beads of sweat trailed down his body as he pped the paper against his face, trying to send breezes of wind at him.


    The windows were tightly shut, curtains draped over that stopped any sunlight from inserting inside the store.


    Since yesterday, he tried finding out the reason for such a sudden increase in heat and only came to one conclusion: Khione did something.


    Ding! Ding!


    Isaac''s interface beeped, signaling that several messages had arrived. He checked them out, and even though the heat was melting him, he still let out a soft chuckle and smile.


    Luna sent him a message, and it seemed like she was doing very well. She was level 100 already and was about to enter Spring Realm.


    A few days ago, more people started making their way over to the City of Priesthood or some other major cities.


    The stronger yers already found a way to push past the obstacles, and it didn''t take long for those theories to spread across the Inte.


    There was, however, one ce where no one, except one, managed to pass the test. It was the infamous ce called Rainwell Vige.


    The forest was the source of nightmares for many, and they thought it was basically impossible to pass without being level 150.


    Isaac hoped that Luna would arrive in a ce where people had managed to pass the test.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    Isaac''s body flinched, and he could see a tall looming shadow on another side of the door. Behind the curtains, he could see the beautiful Khione, patiently waiting for the door to open.


    The area around her was freezing cold, while the sun''s dangerous heat didn''t affect her even the slightest.

 Chapter 428 Autumn Realm

    Chapter 428 Autumn Realm


    Tap¡­ Tap¡­ Tap¡­


    The faint sound of footsteps neared the door with its window covered by a draped curtain. As Isaac ced his hand on the doorknob and twitched, the door slowly creaked open, and a breath of cold air entered inside.


    After the door was opened enough for Isaac to peek outside, he could see Khione''s furrowed brows and the corner of her lips lowered as she looked very annoyed for some reason.


    ''''Won''t you let me in?'''' She asked with every word increasing more coldness to the streets. As the nearby passersby''s stepped outside, they rushed back indoors instantly after they inhaled the freezing cold.


    ''''Store is closed.'''' Isaac''s said while giving off a polite smile. The kind of smile usually the shopkeepers wear 24/7, even while the side of their faces start hurting, they keep wearing that same fake smile. That was the smile found on Isaac''s face.


    ''Hehe, you think you can troll me? Goddess or not, I do the trolling!''


    Khione''s face turned several degrees colder, and several strands of her beautiful long hair turned into ice shards, ''''Is that so¡­ You dare to stop a Goddess¡­ From entering your store?''''


    ''''Yup!'''' Isaac shouted and mmed the door shut.


    m!


    As the door closed right before her eyes, Khione''s head lowered, and her lips twitched until crazedughter slipped through, ''''Hahahahahahaha¡­''''


    ¡­


    The next day, Isaac ate his breakfast while seated in the dining room in Whitelock Residence. On the left-handed side, the newspaper was folded open, and on the right-handed side was theptop with its screen disying the forums.


    Sip¡­


    Isaac raised the cup of coffee, took a tiny sip, and moved his gaze across the forum page. After a short while, his eyes shook with surprise, and the hot coffee spilled over the cup''s rim andnded on hisp.


    ''''A-Ah, hot!'''' He screamed as he put the cup down and patted his pants that were drenched from where the coffeended.


    After the hotness slowly disappeared, Isaac turned back toward the screen and skimmed through the forum.


    The forum talked about the realm portal to the third realm, Autumn Realm. The yers had been busy and were extremely quick at finding clues about where the next portal could be, and they found it.


    In every major city, there was at least one portal. Meaning that the Priesthood had the portal somewhere¡ª hidden.


    Isaac quickly mmed theptop shut and dropped whatever he was doing. He stopped biting at the sandwich, ignored the coffee, and rushed instantly back to his room.


    While skipping up the stairs, his parents shouted behind, wondering where he was going. Isaac quickly replied that he was returning to his room and didn''t hear anything else after that.


    Soon, he returned to his room and instantly entered the White Online.


    ¡­


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    As Isaac''s eyes opened, his ears rang with loud knockinging from below the floor. The door shook without stopping as the beautiful tall woman continued smacking her right hand against the solid wood.


    After a short while, Isaac arrived on the first floor with his buttons loose. Even while stepping forth, his gaze was on the buttons, trying to tuck them firmly. Then, he pulled down his sleeves and fixed his cor.


    He had to keep the proper look as the shopkeeper. That''s why he was using a different outfit from the Camouge. He was wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt with a ck vest. The shoes were made from leather, fitting him perfectly, and the pants were tight-fitted.


    Isaac opened the door with a swift hand movement, but then his polite smile crumbled after seeing the person knocking. It was Khione, and with her cold look, she asked.


    ''''Closed again?''''


    ''''Y-Yeah, busy,'''' Isaac replied and slipped out of the store. Then, he inserted the brass key into the keyhole and twisted it. After the ng resounded in his ears, Isaac pulled out the key and ced it back in his inventory.


    ''''Where are you going?'''' Khione asked and briskly followed after Isaac, who began walking in the silent streets.


    Isaac''s mind was upied with hearing her ramblings, but then he remembered that she was Goddess and perhaps was aware of the location of the Realm Portal.


    As his feet halted, he turned halfway and asked, ''''Do you know where the Portal to Autumn Realm is?''''


    ''''I do,'''' Khione replied without any falsehood in her tone.


    ''''Can you tell me where?'''' Isaac asked with slight hope.


    ''''No.'''' Khione rejected without hesitation. Her cold look made it impossible to know what she was thinking.


    ''''Why?''''


    ''''Too early.'''' As Khione replied with simple words, Isaac felt frustration sprouting inside him.


    ''''Early for what?'''' Isaac asked with frustration.


    Khione''s lips slightly opened before closing again. In the end, she stayed quiet, listening to the sound of wind and Isaac''s impatient shoe-tapping against the pavement.


    Swoosh!


    After the surroundings turned silent, the ground shook silently, and the sky above the High Temple turned orange. The clouds were pierced by the sharp light, and somehow the sky was now a mix of two colors, blue and orange.


    After a while, the orange color slowly disappeared and returned to the High Temple.


    Isaac became thoughtful, ''That''s strange¡­ It''s always like clockwork¡­ The strange orange lightes from the High Temple every day around one o''clock and paints the sky orange¡­''


    ''Wait¡­ Could it be¡­ Orange is the color of Autumn, and it may be a farfetched theory¡­ Maybe the portal is inside the mountain!''


    He turned around, looked straight at Khione''s silver eyes, and asked, ''''It''s there¡­ Inside the mountain, right under the High Temple, right?''''


    Khione''s eyelids closed as she let out a soft sigh, ''''Haahh¡­ You already know the answer.''''


    Isaac''s lip slightly curved upward, and he asked, ''''Can you help me to enter it? I will just visit the ce, check it out, and return before you even manage to bat an eyelid.''''


    ''''You think it''s that easy?'''' Khione opened her eyes and asked with a frown.


    ''''How hard can it be?'''' Isaac asked. He didn''t n to fight against the Portal Guard all by himself. Instead, take a look, and return swiftly.


    ''''It''s incredibly difficult¡­ Even for a God!'''' Khione''s sharp gaze went past the mountain wall and reached a dark dungeon-like hallway, ''''If you think defeating God Zephyros'' Avatar was difficult, what about defeating the real God Zephyros?''''


    ''''W-Wait, you mean he is guarding it?'''' Isaac''s eyes shook with surprise.


    ''''Well... Kinda¡­'''' Khione replied with slight uncertainty and softly continued, ''''He is there to stop the monsters from going through the portals and escaping the Dungeon¡­ It isn''t the God Zephyros that the yers need to fight¡ª instead, the monsters that are dangerous enough to be guarded by God.''''

 Chapter 429 The Time Passing Lore

    Chapter 429 The Time Passing Lore


    "Dungeon? Another Dungeon?" Isaac asked with a frown.


    Khione slightly nodded, "Under the High Temple is a Dungeon, arge one. But, it''s only filled with flesh-eating monsters, each above level 200. There might be monsters close to level 500, and you can''t even reach them in your current state."


    "Does High Priest and High Priestess know that there are such dangerous beings right below their feet?" Isaac asked.


    "Of course¡­" Khione slowly stepped to the side of the street, followed by Isaac. Soon, a carriage zoomed past them with extravagant-looking people seated inside. Their eyes shimmered in delight as they peeked outside and managed to catch a glimpse of the Goddess.


    After the carriage was gone from sight, Khione continued, "They guard the entrance and won''t hesitate to kill you if it meant to stop you from going there."


    "Damn¡­" Isaac massaged his temple with his left thumb and middle finger, ''What should I do? Level 500 monsters¡­ Just how long would it take me to reach such a level?''


    It was like Khione knew what Isaac was thinking. Her voice echoed in the streets as her lips parted and she spoke.


    "Go train¡­ There is a good training facility for Marksmen. Grow stronger, and don''t be impatient. There are multiple ways to increase your level, and do it patiently¡­"


    After Isaac''s face showed signs of displeasure, Khione quickly added, "Soon¡­ Everything will change¡­ The world you are aware of won''t be the same."


    "Hmm?" Isaac looked at her with confusion. Then, he was led by Khione to the nearby training facility for Marksmen.


    There, he met with the facility''s trainer. Surprisingly, he was a level 300 Military man. Isaac did several training exercises to gauge the limit of his potential but also his current strength.


    After several hours of torturous training, Isaac was freed from the training facility and met up with Khione outside the gates.


    They returned to the bookstore and resumed their daily idling routines.


    ¡­


    Soon, a week passed as Isaac''s routine life continued. In the morning, he spent time in real-life, talking with Luna on the phone and mingling with his family.


    At noon, he worked as a shopkeeper, rapidly increasing his wealth. Then,ter in the day, it was time for the Training Facility. There, he was taught the way of the spear to be used alongside his weapon, and also shooting from difficult angles, and how to reduce the effect of recoil.


    After the short week, his level reached 160, but it was still far from Isaac''s goal. He wanted to increase his level rapidly and wished to do it faster. His Worldwide ranking was steady at 300, and the gap with the leading yers seemed to increase.


    Isaac had no idea how they earned XP, but it seemed to be very effective.


    At the current time, Isaac was sitting on a wooden stool, a fresh scent of salt water wafting through his nostril, and a calm breeze of spring wind brushed past his white hair.


    Below him was the wooden harbor with dozen ships docked near him. The bright blue water was only arms-length away.


    However, he wasn''t alone. Since half an hour ago, he discussed with the fishermen about the different sea beasts they had encountered. There were all sorts of crazed beasts lurking in the depths.


    A few days ago, Khione left the Priesthood. Not by choice. It looked like she was dragged away by some invisible power.


    Then, Isaac''s back straightened as a ck dot appeared in the distance. It didn''t take long for the ship''s outline to be clearer, and the color it was painted with also became clearer. A three-masted ship with sails pping against the wind and a long hull split the sea in half as they moved forth.


    As the ship got nearer to the harbor, the speed continued decreasing until it was moving at walking speed. Inch by inch, the ship slowly got anchored near the port, and the ship''s tip grazed at the wooden harbor.


    A long flight of stairs was neatly lowered, and the passenger started de-boarding with excited looks. There were yers among them, and they all had the same faces of excitement.


    Then, Isaac stood up after catching a glimpse of ck hair. The owner of the ck hair became clearer, and an innocent look coupled with a beautiful face caused many heartstrings to be pulled in the opposite directions.


    While the yers tried to start a conversation with her during the ship''s journey, they couldn''t earn even a word from her pink-colored lips. She was rather shy but also didn''t really want to talk to strangers.


    Her soft steps reached the bottom of the stairs, and her crystal clear eyes scanned the harbor until it stopped after seeing the white-haired man.


    Her pink-colored lips curved up, and her walking speed became swift. It was like her steps were as light as feathers as she quickly skipped past the crowd of yers and wrapped her slender arms around the white-haired man''s waist.


    As she buried her face on his shoulder, she let out a giggle, "Isaac~"


    Isaac patted Luna''s soft hair and felt his cheeks heating up after noticing the amount of attention they got.


    The fishermen smirked and whistled, "Get a room, you two!"


    Luna''s body flinched, but for some reason, she wasn''t that opposed to that idea as her thoughts turned in an unknown direction.


    Isaac grabbed her soft hand and walked out of the harbor with Luna in tow. After reaching the streets, they finally managed to let out a sigh, followed by a slightugh.


    "Wow, this ce is beautiful!" Luna eximed with her crystal clear eyes brushing past the beautiful citizens and buildings. Her eyes continued shaking with shock as she saw the mountains splitting the clouds in half.


    The sight was even more beautiful than Stronglord''s enormous Royal Mountain.


    They continued conversing during their walk. They talked about what they have been doing a past couple of times. Isaac mentioned the store but didn''t mention anything about Khione.


    On the other hand, Luna seemed to have received quite a bit of attention from the nobles. With her beautiful looks and Godly Legacy, on the other hand, she was a very prominent figure to be married to.


    However, they couldn''t crack the shell known as her love for Isaac. The handsome nobles grudgingly turned to dark magic and tried to make Isaac slip, fall down the stairs, and make his head crack like watermelon.


    However, that turned out to be a very unsessful try.


    Soon, Isaac and Luna reached his store. As her eyes sparkled with excitement, the door slowly opened, and the warm shop turned visible.

 Chapter 430 The Bookstore

    Chapter 430 The Bookstore


    "Wow!" Luna skittered inside with her face radiating with excitement. Her crystal blue eyes moved around as her vision was clouded with bookshelves and books.


    In an attempt to satisfy her curiosity, she grabbed a few books from the nearby bookshelf and soon realized that she knew the titles and authors.


    "I have read these!" Luna leafed through the pages and eximed. She wanted to make sure whether the books were truly the same, and they indeed were!


    Isaac warmly smiled and retrieved one of the books out of the shelves. Then, he skimmed through the pages and said, "They are copied from my real-life book collection."


    "I see!" Luna nodded with understanding, and she ced the books back on the shelves. Then, she browsed past the rows of books, absorbing all the information contained in their covers.


    After reaching the far end, where the fantasy books were, her feet came to an instant halt. There was one book that she wasn''t aware of. The cover was rather mystifying, and the name and author werepletely unknown.


    At first, her mind didn''t register the author''s name, but then she looked deeper, and her mouth made an "O" shape.


    The author''s name was "Wraith," and the book cover showed a snow-filled background with a warmly-clothed young man holding his rifle with a deep-looking bag strapped on his back.


    "I-I-I this yours?!" She carefully caressed the book''s cover and slowly retrieved it from the shelf.


    Isaac saw the cover and sheepily smiled, "Yeah¡­ I don''t think it''s good, but at least I tried."


    "Hehe, I will read this!" Luna hugged the book tightly and went to the leather-covered couch to get seated. After that, she made herselffortable and opened the first page.


    Isaac wryly smiled and took one step forth, about to walk toward the same couch. However, then the store''s door opened, and a whiff of cold air spread across the first floor.


    His face deadpanned, and without turning his head, he said, "Khione, what a pleasant surprise." While saying so, his lips twitched.


    "You don''t act like it." Khione''s cold voice echoed in his ears. She entered the store and came to an instant halt after seeing her spot being taken by an adorable-looking girl.


    Luna''s mouth was again "O" shaped as her eyes reflected Khione''s beautiful face, "Khione-chan!"


    Khione''s eyebrow twitched after getting called by her hated nickname, ''Hecate''s Legacy Carrier¡­''


    "Why are you here?" Luna asked, and then her eyes sparkled as she raised her index finger, "Are you perhaps my Isaac''s friend?!"  Khione''s brow jumped, and she looked between Isaac and Luna. She immediately understood.


    "Hmm¡­" She reached for the nearest book and ambled toward the exit.


    As the doorknob was twisted and the door opened, a voice came behind her, "Leaving so soon?"


    Khione took a side-nced at Isaac and snorted, "Hmph. Stay here to witness you two flirting? I would rather go make a visit to Uncle Hades'' home."


    Bam!


    The door mmed shut, and the cold air left alongside the Snow Goddess.


    "Wait¡­ She didn''t pay!" Isaac rushed outside but saw that the Snow Goddess had disappeared. There was still a lingering feeling of cold airborne, but Khione was gone.


    "She¡­ Sigh." Isaac returned indoors and closed the door.


    The time passed, and the sky above Priesthood began turning darker. The grayish sky became pitch ck, and stars shone brightly as the crescent-shaped moon made its appearance.


    "Yawn¡­" Luna''s tiny mouth opened slightly, and a long tiring yawn was released. She rubbed her eyes and returned the book back to the shelves.


    "The book was actually good." She replied with a sheepish smile, returned to the couch, and cuddled next to Isaac.


    "Next one will be better," Isaac said with certainty while flipping through the book.


    "Hey¡­ Isaac¡­" Luna''s voice turned timid as she trailed her finger across Isaac''s stomach.


    "Yes?" Isaac replied while his gaze still stuck on the book''s pages.


    "Do you know about¡­ Bird and bees?" Luna immediately hid her face with ears turning red, and a deep red blush red across her cheeks.


    "Bird and bees?" Isaac stopped reading and frowned at first. He wondered why she talked about birds and bees since they weren''t that important to residents of Wintend.


    However, after he saw heated cheeks of Luna, he immediately realized what she meant, and his eyes immediately turned saucers with shock rippling through his pupils.


    "L-Luna¡­"


    "Heh, it''s nothing!" Luna sat up while tidying her messy hair and tried to calm down her pounding heart, "I-It''s just that¡­ My mom talked about it a few days ago, and I have been thinking about¡­"


    "Thinking what?" Isaac asked while his body instinctively leaned closer. As he got closer, the sweet scent of her hair entered his nose.


    "A-Ah¡­ Nothing!" Luna jumped to his feet, and like a robot, she moved toward the door. It looked like her joints were glued together.


    Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!


    She touched her chest with the palm of her right hand. The pounding heart sent ripples through her entire body. She felt weird and confused.


    "Where are you going?" Isaac asked and closed the book while standing up. After pocketing his hand, he felt the brass key moving beneath his fingers.


    "T-To home!" Luna forced a smile and ced her hand on the doorknob. Then, she twisted it, but the door didn''t open.


    Isaac pulled out the key and nked it against his other finger, "The door is closed¡­ But that''s not the main thing. Do you even have a house here?"


    "Ah¡­" Luna''s cheeks heated up as she realized that she wasn''t in Stronglord anymore. She didn''t have a ce to go and forgot about the whole matter!


    "You can use my bed as a spawn spot," Isaac said gently and put the key back in his front pocket. Then, Luna shyly turned around, her face bright red, and if she was a robot, then her ears would have let out puffs of smoke as her gears malfunctioned.


    Isaac led the way to the second floor, climbed the carpeted stairs, and went straight to his bedroom. In there, Luna ced her spawn spot on Isaac''s bed, moved the strands of her hair over her ear, and said.


    "S-S-See you tomorrow." Luna tip-toed and gave a quick peck on Isaac''s cheek. Her soft and pinkish lips left a mark of lipstick on his cheek. Then, her body disappeared, with her lips showing onest smile.

 Chapter 431 olivers and lsaacs Duel

    Chapter 431 oliver''s and lsaac''s Duel


    The following day.


    Isaac rolled in the bed before standing up energetically. Then he did his usual morning activities: showering, brushing his teeth and changing clothes.


    After that, he grabbed a vacuum cleaner from the closet and cleaned his whole room. That took him several hours, and even though he could have asked for a servant to do it, he didn''t want anyone to enter his room.


    Especially because there was certain cloth hiding in his wardrobe. The Grand Priest''s robe. The one that gives the user almost god-like strength.


    After Isaac stomped down on the vacuum cleaner and the evesting humming sound stopped. He returned it to the closet and cleaned the window frames with a drenched rag.


    ''''Isaac!'''' A rigid-sounding shout came from downstairs. Isaac stopped the cleaning and tossed the rag back to the cleaning drum. Then, he left his room and skipped down the stairs. Soon, he was walking down thest pair of stairs and could already see the front door.


    However, at that moment, his feet stopped like he hade across an imprable wall.


    Across his mother and father was a person he never wanted to see again. Oliver, with his genial smile, shook hands with his father. His mouth kept moving up and down, and Maxwell nodded with the corner of his lips curved up slightly.


    ''''Isaac, look who came to visit!'''' His mother, Isabe, motioned for Isaac toe closer. However, he didn''t move an inch from the stairs. His face slowly turned from shocked to cold.


    ''''Hello, bro!'''' Oliver''s grin stretched the corner of his lips upward.


    Isaac''s lips twitched until a somewhat forced-looking smile was seen on his handsome face, ''''Oliver, what a pleasant surprise¡­''''


    ''''I was on nearby, and decided to visit my best¡­'''' Oliver''s face turned slightly greenish like he was about to puke when he finally uttered thest bits of words, ''''Friend¡­''''


    Isabe and Maxwell didn''t seem to notice anything odd in the way they acted. They returned to the living room to allow the two youngsters to catch up.


    Isaac''s face instantly turned ice-cold, and Oliver''s grin widened even further.


    ''''Well, best friend¡­'''' Isaac showed an innocent smile, but his eyes showed endless waves of rage, ''''Shall we go to my room?''''


    ''''Of course¡­'''' Oliver''s whole face twitched.


    They slowly walked up the stairs. Their faint footsteps echoed in the empty hallways. After reaching the fourth and final floor, Isaac opened the door to his room and entered, followed closely behind by Oliver.


    Oliver grabbed the door handle and slowly closed the door. Once the lock gave a gentle ng sound, instantly, a swift hand moved across the air, grabbed Oliver''s expensive-looking cor, and mmed him against the wall!


    Bam!


    ''''Ugh¡­'''' Oliver''s back crashed against the corner of the bookshelf, and a slight utter of pain left his mouth.


    . ???


    However, then his tongue licked his dry lips, a grin creeping back on his lips, ''''Heh, calm down.'''' He ced his hand on Isaac''s chest and calmly pushed him a step back.


    Oliver casually patted the dust off his arms and asked with aughing tone, ''''Where is the strength you used to break my friend''s arm? Did you use some steroids, hmm?''''


    ''''Why are you here?'''' Isaac asked with teeth grinding against each other. The blood was boiling inside him, and his pale face changed shades with the hue of redness spreading across his cheeks.


    ''''I came to offer a proposition!'''' Oliver said while letting out a tiny chuckle. He casually walked past Isaac, brushing past his shoulder, and looked around the room without any care in the world.


    ''''Proposition?'''' Isaac''s gaze followed Oliver.


    ''''You Vs. Me¡­'''' Oliver stopped before reaching the bed, ''''Let''s decide this like good old days when we fought who would get thest piece of cake¡­''''


    Isaac continued staying silent. There was an itching feeling at the back of his skull, and he immediately knew that something was hiding behind that calm facade Oliver disyed. Something evil.


    ''''Tonight¡­ In the High School building¡­ The whole building will be our battlefield¡­ We can hide, use tricks, and cunning ways to try to defeat each other¡­ What do you say?''''


    Oliver spread his arms wide and let out a warm breath, ''''This is what you want, right?''''


    ''''Yes¡­ That''s exactly what I want!'''' Isaac smashed the door open and pointed out, ''''I will be there, now, get out.''''


    Oliver gently smiled and left the room while humming a merry tone. Then, the door closed, and his footsteps grew distant.


    After the footsteps reached the stairs, Isaac dashed across the room, rummaged through the drawers, and soon found the USB stick. He ced it on theptop and saw his edited video appearing on the screen.


    He quickly went to the VideoKing website while his heart pounded and his hand shook. Then, he pressed publish, but before that, he also ced a timer. The video would be published around midnight.


    ''''You think you can trick me into walking into your trap¡­? You were never the brightest guy in the room.'''' Isaac snorted and browsed through the Inte. That was only one of the backup ns he had.


    After the street fight, he didn''t stay idling around, doing nothing except running the shop. No¡­ the amount of backup ns he had couldn''t be counted with two hands.


    As his fingers danced on the keyboard, Isaac wrote several hundred-word essays addressed to nearby News Stations. He also added the video file to each email. Then, he pressed send.


    Why was he sure that the News Station would release the news of Oliver and his friends?


    It was rather simple. Isaac was popr, extremely so. Being the Second Son of the Whitelock Family brought him a lot of status. Since he only sent the files to Snowstar news stations, they were sure to react in one way or another.


    Whitelock Family was highly respected. Since Isaac''s incident was covered by his parents because Isaac wanted, he didn''t want unnecessary drama in his life. Otherwise, the News Stations would have reyed his incident for weeks toe.


    The amount of status his family had was immense. Now, knowing that the son of the Whitelock Family was almost murdered by his ssmates, that was also big enough news to spread across the Wintend, maybe even cross the pond, and reach other Continents!


    As Isaac sent thest email, he closed theptop and smiled, ''''Tomorrow¡­ Every News outlet will show the video¡­ I could have done this a long time ago, but I also have my own pride¡­


    ''''The pride is a strange thing, and makes people do foolish things¡­ But, I want to fight against Oliver¡­ He won''t fight fairly, but neither will I!''''


    Isaac went to his wardrobe and opened its doors. Behind his fancy suits, a beautiful purple coat was hanging from the hanger.


    ''''The Grand Priest Robe¡­ Is my secret weapon.''''

 Chapter 432 The Final Battle (1)

    Chapter 432 The Final Battle (1)


    The sky was veiled in endless sheets of darkness. The clouds were dispersed across the dark sky, and a grayish crescent-shaped moon hung above it.


    The streets of Snowstar were bathed in gentle lighting from the streetmps. A distant sound of cars echoed, and the sound of fading footsteps reverberated near the gates of the High School of Snowstar.


    As the sound grew gradually more silent, a robed figure stepped out of the shadows of a nearby alleyway. Strands of white hair showed underneath the hood, and a very delicate face was engulfed in slight obscurity.


    Isaac watched as the pedestrians slowly walked past the school''s gates. They didn''t seem to notice anything out of the ordinary, but he did.


    The front door of the school had its windows shattered. Like someone had thrown a rock through the ss and used the hole in the window to slip hand inside and open the door.


    The ss windows revealed a gloomy interior of the school that had been shrouded in darkness. Regardless, it appeared that nothing was happening inside.


    Isaac believed Oliver was inside, possibly with his friends. There was no doubt they were watching the gate.


    He snappily looked left and right, checking whether any cars or pedestrians wereing toward him. The street was empty, except for the distant figures that walked past the school street.


    After not seeing anyoneing, Isaac dashed across the road and stopped next to the concrete wall. Then, he ced his hands against the wall and murmured something under his breath.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed¡­"


    "Man-sized hole!"


    Crack¡­


    A circr crack appeared in the wall, and soon a man-sized hole appeared in front of Isaac.


    He crawled through it and stood up after entering the school''s premises. Then, after straightening his back, he again sped his hands together and murmured.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed¡­"


    "Fix!"


    It took only a few minutes for the concrete powder to fill up the previous hole, and they connected like glued pieces together. After a short time, the hole was finally sealed.


    Isaac crouched and felt the soft snow piles under his knee. His current location was on the southwest side of the school, surrounded by snow-filled trees. It was a small forest that was scarcely used by students, except those who go there to have some alone time with their friends or lovers.


    Isaac rapped his finger against the tree and tried to see any signs of movement near the school. There wasn''t any. It was like the whole school was abandoned.


    A tiny sprout of bad feeling appeared in Isaac''s heart. However, he didn''t n to chicken out this early.


    Then, he again sped his hands together and gazed toward the cameras that were videotaping the entire schoolyard. With a deep breath, his eyelids closed shut, and his lips moved up and down.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed¡­"


    "Destroy!"


    Crack¡­


    The camera''s screen cracked, and its shell cracked wholly. It was like an invisible hand grabbed it and squeezed tightly.


    Isaac quickly bolted out of the forest and ran straight toward the side entrance. In there, he did another prayer to make the hallways even darker so only he could see with his unnaturally good eyesight.


    After the spell, Isaac clutched his chest with his right hand, greedily gasping for breath. The exhaustion and pain from using the spells without arge mana pool started affecting him.


    Crack!


    Then, Isaac smashed the door''s tiny window, slipped his hand in, and twisted the doorknob from inside.


    As the door opened, Isaac pulled his hand back and opened the door wide. Then, he rushed inside while his eyes scanned the whole hallway. There wasn''t anyone on the lookout.


    A frown found its way onto his face. Then, he turned left, bolted up the stairs, and arrived in the second floor''s hallway. It was also empty.


    He could only hear his rough breathing and the faint sound of cars engines humming on the streets.


    Swoosh!


    The windows were suddenly engulfed in a bright ray of light. As Isaac''s eyes turned red after the sudden ring of light, he also heard the sound of police sirens echoing throughout the school.


    "The one hiding in the school! Come out with your hands in the air!" A police officer''s shout came from the schoolyard.


    Isaac peeked over the window frames and saw the yard suddenly having ten police cars with the sirens sending rays of blue and red lights. Then, there were twenty police officers. They all seemed to be armed.


    "Heh¡­ This wasn''t Oliver''s idea." Isaac knelt and rapped his knuckles against the tiled floor, "One of hisckeys must have created this bait¡­"


    "Good¡­ Oliver¡­ Good!"


    "You are making this more interesting¡­ Heh, he did say that we can use trickery to win¡­ By getting me arrested, he would win¡­"


    "I bet all my wealth that he is currently grinning and snickering with his friend outside the school. Waiting to snap a picture of my arrest¡­"


    "But¡­ You made one mistake." Isaac''s lip curved upward, and he touched the tiled floor with the palms of his hands. Then, his lips began moving as the sound of muttering rang in the dark corridor.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed¡­"


    "Snowstorm!"


    Thick clouds extended across the sky. They appeared out of nowhere, and suddenly everything became even darker. That phenomenon wasn''t outlooked by the police officers. They lifted their heads to see the darkening sky.


    Then, small snowkes began dropping down before it became a heavy downpour. The snow obstructed their vision, and they couldn''t even see their partners next to them.


    The snowstorm was only engulfing the school. Isaac''s strength''s limit was this. Trying to submerge the whole Snowstar in Snowstorm might honestly kill him.


    As the police officers panicked outside, Isaac rushed toward the control room, where they kept the camera recordings. In there, he inserted a USB stick on theptop and downloaded today''s camera recordings.


    The camera''s must-have recorded Oliver or one of his friends breaking the window.


    After the loading bar showed 100%, Isaac pocketed the USB stick with a grin and ran out of the school. The snowstorm covered his escape, and soon he had leaped over the small fence.

 Chapter 433 The Final Battle (2)

    Chapter 433 The Final Battle (2)


    "Argh¡­" With a pounding heart, and pain-filled face, Isaac sat on a nearby bench near the school fence. He could still see the incredible sight of the snowstorm raging above the school.


    The nearby pedestrians couldn''t believe their eyes. Not even a speck of snowkended outside the school. It looked like an enraged God was attacking the school.


    Isaac continued holding his chest with cold sweat trailing down his face. The creation of the snowstorm had already drained himpletely. He tried to recharge before going after Oliver and the rest.


    However, then he saw ten dim-clothed figures running anxiously away from the school. They passed the street and entered a nearby coffee shop. Their clothes were stained with snow, meaning that they were actually hiding in the schoolyard.


    Isaac''s lip curved upward. He tried to stand up with the heavily beating heartbeat. It was like the heart was trying to burst through his chest.


    The cold sweat soon drenched him fully.


    Isaac dragged his feet behind him as he stepped toward the coffee shop. The windows showed an enraged Oliver shouting at his friends. They didn''t seem to be in a good mood.


    Then, Isaac extended his hand forth and pushed the door open. Thus attracting the attention of Oliver and the rest.


    Their eyes showed clear shock, and they were confused at Isaac''s attire. It looked like he camepletely unprepared for the sudden Snowstorm. The Priest''s coat didn''t seem to have any cover for cold. However, it was actually quite warm.


    "Heh¡­ You failed." Isaac said with an initial chuckle.


    "Rgh¡­ What do you mean?" Oliver tried to feign ignorance.


    "I know you called the cops." Isaac patted the snow off his shoulders and sat on the nearby chair with his legs crossed.


    "Hmph." Oliver snorted, "I didn''t tell how the loser is determined. Deciding it with violence would be not a gentlemanly way of doing things, right?"


    "Right." Isaac agreed and rapped his finger against the table, "Don''t you think this is boring? We are going to keep running circles. I would want to end this, once and for all."


    "What do you suggest?" Oliver asked while his friends stayed silent. Their eyes still showed some previous vignce. They didn''t forget about the scene of Isaac destroying them in the street fight.


    Tap¡­ Tap¡­ Tap¡­


    Isaac''s rhythmic way of rapping his finger against the table echoed in the store. Oliver and his friends waited calmly.


    Then, Isaac spoke, "There is an abandoned hospital only a few miles away. Let''s use that to determine the winner. This time, no calling cops¡­ Only your group Vs. Me, thest one standing, wins!"


    "Hah!" Oliverughed mockingly. He thought Isaac was crazy to think that he even had a chance to win. Soon, theughter turned into angry shouting. He also felt very humiliated that Isaac thought that.


    His friends shared nces and weren''t as confident as Oliver. They couldn''t forget about the street fight.


    "Fine, see you there!" Oliver shouted, and his whole body trembled.


    "In one hour," Isaac said and left the store.


    After the door closed, Oliver''s friends asked, "A-are you sure this is a good idea?"


    "Stop chickening out!" Oliver snapped, "I already confirmed that the power he showed was the result of some steroids. He isn''t strong¡ªhe is weak!"


    "What if he uses steroids again?"


    "Doesn''t matter¡­ I have a secret weapon." Oliver grinned while tracing his hand across his waist.


    ¡­


    One hourter.


    Isaac popped open a pill bottle and poured the interior into his mouth. As the small white pills traversed across his throat, he gulped.


    Then, he threw the empty pill bottle away toward the corner of the office room.


    Isaac ced his feet on top of the office desk and saw the hand of the clock slowly moving clockwise. The time limit for the promise had expired.


    Tap¡­ Tap... Tap¡­


    He again rapped his finger against the desk and waited as the clock slowly ticked down. The office room was serene, with no sound except the tapping.


    ''My energy is still drained¡­ The painkillers will only ease the chest pain¡­ I can only use one more spell before I truly hurt myself¡­''


    ''I am afraid my organs might rupture if I push my luck¡­ Now¡­ What spell should I choose?''


    Then, the hand of the clock moved, and that forced a smile to appear on Isaac''s face. He pulled out his touchscreen phone and opened it via fingerprint scanner.


    With his right thumb, he moved it across the screen, opened the browser, and typed VideoKing''s website.


    Then, he saw that his video had been uploaded one minute ago. There weren''t any views, but he knew that there was no going back anymore.


    "Even if I lose the battle¡­ I won the war." Isaac''s smile was heartful and came straight from the bottom of his heart. Then, he pocketed the phone and stood up.


    As he left the office, he entered the dimly lit corridors of the abandoned hospital. There wasn''t even a flicker of lighting from anywhere. The tiles were shrouded in darkness, and the abandoned hospital beds adorned the hallways.


    There were scraps of papers littered across the corridors, and the scent of mold seeped through the ceiling.


    Isaac leaned against the window, and the warm light that enveloped the streets didn''t reach as far as the hospital yard. Still, he could see the several footprints reaching the front door.


    ''They are very confident¡­ Not caring about moving stealthily¡­ Well, counting the footprints, the pairs only belonged to seven people¡­ question remains, where are those three hiding.''


    Then, Isaac slipped his hands inside his pockets and ambled across the long corridor. At the far end, he opened a rusted door and saw stairs leading to the third floor. He was currently on the highest floor, fourth.


    After opening the door, it was impossible not to hear the sound of footsteps pattering against the stairs. There was someone walking up the stairs.


    ''Alone? No¡­ Bait.'' Isaac snorted and closed the door. Then, he skipped across the corridor, passed the office, and arrived at the other end of the aisle.


    Again, he opened the door and heard someone walking up the stairs.


    ''Two¡­ They aren''t the bait. Instead, impatient ones¡­ I believe I can take them out.''

 Chapter 434 The Final Battle (3)

    Chapter 434 The Final Battle (3)


    Tick¡­ Tock¡­ Tick¡­ Tock¡­


    Luna''s unfocused eyes continued watching as the clock hand continued ticking clockwise. Her fingers fidgeted with a wooden pen, and an open book wasid on the desk.


    Her house was shrouded in darkness. Her parents hady down on their beds, eyelids tightly shut, and slumber engulfing them.


    The short hallway had a tiny portion of lighting underneath Luna''s door. Her room was bathed in warm light, and the bed was covered with a nket.


    "Why did I talk about him about such a stupid thing?" When the pen dropped to the desk, she covered her embarrassed face with her ears painted red.


    "He must think I am weird¡­ maybe he even thought I suggested something¡­ dirty¡­"


    As her cheeks flushed further, she revealed her pink face and deep blush, "Well¡­ if he wants to, I might¡­ say yes."


    Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump! Ba-Dump!


    The increase in her heartbeat forced her to grab her painful chest. Her lips twitched as her face showed apparent signs of pain. Her limbs convulsed as her whole body began screaming in pain.


    After a terrifying long minute, she heaved a sigh of relief as she copsed on the floor. The pain disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Her heart was still pounding up and down.


    Luna used her feeble arms to push herself up, but the lingering fear of new pain slowed her movement.


    "It''s returning¡­" A speck of fear was reflected in her eyes. She knew what the sudden appearance of pain meant. The Winter Illness hade back knocking.


    With the help of the chair, she finally managed to stand up, "No¡­ I was supposed to have one more month¡­ Why¡­ did this happen?"


    That meant one thing, and Luna knew it. The Winter Illness returned stronger than ever. Her lifespan was reduced by another month, and knowing what might happen, she might not live through the following year.


    Luna plopped down on her soft bed and sobbed with an inaudible tone. However, at that moment, she wiped her tears and removed all thoughts of giving up.


    There was one way to save herself, and she knew what to do. She grabbed the VR Helmet, positioned it around her head, and firmly gazed toward the windowing stars.


    "I want to help him¡­ I want to save myself¡­" As her pinkish lips moved up and down, she worded onest time before entering the game.


    "Enter!"


    ¡­


    Tap. Tap. Tap.


    The tight staircase could only fit two people to walk side-by-side. They continued conversing as the two young men''s footsteps echoed across the walls.


    "I am not too sure about this¡­" A bronze-haired youth said while holding a bat with barbed wire wrapped around it in his right hand.


    "About what?" His close friend, a blond-haired youth, asked while holding a bat with barbed wire. He was, however, left-handed.


    "Following Oliver''s orders¡­" The bronze-haired man swung the bat around him, imagining that Isaac was standing right in front of them, "He will doom us all."


    "Hey¡­ He might be entric and slightly unreasonable at times, but remember who helped you graduate." The blond-haired man tried to speak some reasoning into his friend.


    "Sigh¡­ You''re right¡­" The bronze-haired youth knew his future would be ruined if Isaac wasn''t taken care of. His future seemed quite bright. He could get a good job in a toppany, marry a beautiful girl, and have a few sons and daughters.


    Then, the surroundings turned much darker than previously when they were about to reach the third tform that led to the third floor.


    The two men tightly grabbed their bats and looked around with wary. After a short while, a tiny peek of light came from the surrounding windows.


    The staircase now had better visibility.


    They were about to smash their bats down, but they only saw the stairs and two doors.


    "Sigh¡­" They heaved a sigh of relief and stepped toward the stairs. They were about to continue marching toward the fourth and final floor.


    When they turned their backs at the door, Isaac sneakily slipped out of the slightly ajar door and grabbed the bronze-haired man''s cor before forcefully yanking it backward!


    The bronze-haired man''s vision swam rapidly, and he lost a grip on his bat. Then, the back of his skull hit the tiled floor, and the air left his lungs, making his chest sink in.


    Isaac dashed across the small room and grabbed the bat as he slid toward the other door. However, the blond-haired man was already smashing his bat down with an enraged look shing across his face.


    Isaac tilted his head counterclockwise and took a brisk step backward. The bat brushed past his nose and smashed right into the chest of the bronze-haired man.


    "Ugh!" The bronze-haired man spat out a mouthful of blood, and whiteness began spreading around his pupils. He lost consciousness with onest breath.


    "I-I am sorry!" The blond-haired man shouted at his fallen friend. But then, Isaac smashed his bat at his kneecap, and an ear-splitting scream echoed throughout the hospital.


    The blond-haired man fell to the floor with foam pouring down from the corners of his mouth.


    On the first floor, Oliver and Luke came to an instant halt and felt their skin turning cold as the scream echoed around them. They shared nces, and both briskly stepped forth and started moving up the stairs.


    After a short while, Isaac tied and clogged up the two men. Then, he dragged them to the nearby empty storage room, left them there, and stepped out with a new phone on hand.


    Isaac casually went through the blond-haired man''s chat conversations. The things he saw made him have a chilly look.


    Then, he pulled out his own phone, opened a camera app, and snapped several dozen pictures. After that, he pocketed the second phone and began texting on his own phone.


    A momentter, he pressed sent with his right thumb and saw that the message had been forwarded. Thest phase of the war wasmissioned with that one text message.

 Chapter 435 The Final Battle (4)

    Chapter 435 The Final Battle (4)


    Snowstar, Near the Heart, inside the Police Station.


    Tap. Tap. Tap.


    In a corner office, the station''s Police Captain rhythmically tapped his index finger against the solid ss desk. In his left hand was a TV remoter, which he used to change to channels that were shown on the TV.


    "Today, there was a strange snowstorm phenomenon¡­" The TV showed News Channel. Then, the Police Captain changed the channel with one press of a button.


    "The recent increase in video game addicting made many school teachers worried¡­" Another News Station.


    "As the snake''s poisonous tongue inched closer toward its victim, its pupils started to slowly contrast as it readied itself for an attack!" The Discovery Channel.


    Clink...


    The Police Captain closed the TV with one tap at the off button. Then, he ced the remoter in his left drawer and pulled out a sketch of the culprit of the recent robbing incident.


    m!


    The door was mmed open suddenly, and an abnormally pale police officer came in running.


    "Captain, did you see the email I sent you? This is urgent!"


    "What email?" The Police Captain asked while slowly closing the drawer. Then, he saw a blur dashing across the room, taking the keyboard from the desk and turning the monitor to face him.


    "What are you doing?" The Police Captain frowned at his subordinate, who seemed to be panicking as his fingers trembled while smashing against the keyboard.


    "This is urgent!" Soon the email was pulled out to the screen, and the police officer turned the monitor back to face the Captain, and then a video began rolling.


    At first, the Police Captain was checking the video with boredom. However, everything took a sharp turn as the voice of the youth echoed out of the screen. His face slowly changed shades.


    After the video was over, he turned toward his subordinate, his face grim, "Are the location of these kids known?"


    The police officer pursed his lips, "I am not sure¡­ But, we have a clue. Not long ago, we received a prank text message saying there were intruders in an abandoned hospital. That sounded simr to the prank call about the school.


    "So, we thought it wasn''t much, but the name Oliver was mentioned¡­ and, I ordered a few police officers to check Oliver''s house, and only his mother was there."


    The police captain snatched his coat from the nearby hanger and stepped out of his office while shouting his heart out.


    "Everyone, get in your cars. The location is an abandoned hospital, a few miles away from the Heart!" After his shout, all the active police officers sprung to their feet, grabbed their coats, and rushed toward their vehicles.


    The police officer behind him gulped and asked," W-w-w-will Maxwell really order his death warrant when he finds out?"


    "Of course!" The police captain snapped while taking his keys from the drawer and stomping toward the building''s doors, "But, I am not the most worried about him. There are some crazy fuckers hiding in the shadows ready to show their faces and bare fangs at Oliver."


    "Let''s arrest him, or our reputation will quickly dip in sewers!"


    ¡­


    Crkkkk¡­


    Isaac walked in the long dim hallways with the barbed wire bat dragging behind him.


    As he continued walking past the long-paneled windows, he took a quick nce at his wristwatch and murmured, "They must have seen it already¡­"


    Any Snowstar-rted video was usually seen by police within 24 hours. The reason was thest year''s incident where a criminal recorded a video of his intent to rob someone. It was sessful, and he almost killed his victim.


    If the police had taken that more seriously or acted quicker, they would have prevented it. The robber, in the end, got arrested but not before he shed more blood. Now, he was rotting in a deep hole, never going to see another speck of light.


    ''The magnitude of my video must be on their priority list¡­ That''s why I added a very popr keyword, ''criminal,'' to the description¡­ That will definitely catch the interest of the police.''


    Isaac continued humming a merry tune when the doors not far from him were mmed open. Oliver and Luke stepped out while sweating furiously. They also carried the same barbed wire bat.


    Their grips on the bat tightened, and they lunged forwards. Oliver ran on the left-handed side and Luke on the right. They tried a pincer attack.


    Isaac spun the bat around him and felt the weight of the barbed wire pushing the bat slightly down. One strike would hurt like hell.


    Oliver''s muscles bulged. He took a long stride forward and used all his body''s momentum to make a powerful swing. Isaac had already ced his feet back and readied himself for dodging.


    As the bat got closer, Isaac leaned back and dodged Oliver''s crazy swing.


    Luke then resumed smashing his bat down but only managed to miss Isaac''s body by hair length. Then, Isaac grabbed the bat with two hands and smashed it toward Luke''s corbone.


    Luke desperately put the bat in the way but got slung backward due to the impact. His back crashed with the window, and he could feel the sound of shattering ss behind him. A cold sweat drenched his back as he realized how close he was to death!


    Oliver gritted his teeth, jumped slightly above the tiled floor, and ragefully smashed the bat down!


    "AHHH!" Isaac''s and Oliver''s screams echoed in the hospital as they both smashed their bats against each other!


    Two bats struck.


    BAM!


    After the initial sh was over, Oliver''s eyes shook as he saw Isaac''s bent knees slowly straightening up. He was losing the battle of strength!


    "H-How!" Oliver screamed with disbelief.


    "You have be weaker¡­" Isaac''s lip curved into a joyful grin, and then he smashed Oliver''s bat away and chased after with onest smash of the bat!


    Crack!


    Isaac''s bat sent Oliver''s weapon to fly off from his grasp!


    Thud¡­


    Oliver rolled onto the ground and only managed to stand up after crashing into the back wall.


    Both Luke and Oliver looked at Isaac fearfully. Their eyes showed vignce.


    Isaac grabbed the bat tighter and felt more confident than ever before in his life. However, then footsteps echoed from the hallway, and six-armed young men came running.


    Oliver and Luke couldn''t help but grin. The victory seemed to be upon them. However, Isaac''s grin didn''t change even the slightest because he saw a flicker of blue and red lighting from outside.

 Chapter 436 The Final Battle (5)

    Chapter 436 The Final Battle (5)


    "You lost!" Oliver''s crisp shout reverberated in the dark hallways. Soon, his friends had surrounded Isaac, their faces showing a tinge of glee.


    "Did I?" Isaac''s corner of his lips were pulled upward as he slowly turned his head towards the window panels. The yard was getting crowded with police vehicles ranging from ordinary police cars to a van.


    Oliver frowned and looked toward the windows. His eyes widened when he saw the police vehicle''s doors opening and arge crowd of police officers stepping down from their vehicles.


    "You said no cops!" He shouted with disbelief and anger. Luke and the rest of his friends gulped with fear and began hesitating.


    "Trickery was allowed, no?" Isaac innocently smiled while whirling the bat around him, "I lied that it would be only your group Vs. Me."


    Oliver''s friends'' faces turned even paler.


    "Ahhhhhhhh!" Oliver''s whole body shook as he screamed all the frustration out. Then, he ripped his jacket open and pulled something out from his waist. There was a holster with an item poking out.


    After the item was pulled out of the holster, everyone widened their eyes in shock.


    "Well then,ugh more!" Oliver''s hand was steady, eyes cold, and lips curved downward. A revolver was held within his right hand, then he spun the cylinder around with his right thumb and pushed it inside the revolver.


    The revolver was ready to be used.


    "I have five bullets, enough to riddle you with bullet wounds." Oliver''s smirk widened as he saw Isaac taking a step back with wary painted on his face.


    "Oliver¡­" Isaac lowered his bat and put his hand in front, trying to calm Oliver down.


    However, it was no use as Oliver screamed, "Why couldn''t you stay in the hospital?!"


    His finger inched closer to the trigger.


    Luke and his friends stepped further away. They realized that Oliver had lost it and that hanging out with him would lead to prison. However, they were afraid he might turn the revolver toward them while they were leaving.


    "Bastard, answer me!" Oliver stretched his right hand forth, and his finger touched the trigger. He was only one pull away from killing the source of all his problems.


    Isaac''s shaking eyes turned cold, "So that you can live happily ever after?"


    "The doctors always wondered how I could ovee the trauma¡ªeven psychiatrists said it should have been impossible.


    "I still should have been in hospital¡­ Even to this day.


    "But, my anger overcame the trauma. I didn''t feel fearful of what might happen. I, of course, was terrified when I left the hospital.


    "Thinking that I might get ambushed and finally killed.


    "But, I always knew that the one who hurt me was still out there¡­ and I wanted to be the one who brings him down."


    Oliver''s lips tightly closed, and his ragged breath slowly steadied.


    Thud!


    Isaac dropped the bat, which sent a sound of thud to echo across the dark hallway.


    Then, his face became calm as his mouth opened, "At the back of my skull, I always knew that it was someone close to me¡­ the one who hurt me.


    "Maybe, I always knew that it was you. I just didn''t want to believe it."


    "You knew I loved Amanda, didn''t you?" Oliver asked with his ck hairnding over his ears, covering his piercings. His handsome face showed mncholy.


    "Why did you think I didn''t confess to Amanda?" Isaac rubbed his nose bridge and swiped his hair back.


    Oliver''s eyes shook, "You are saying¡­ you didn''t confess because of me?"


    "Yes, you were my best friend after all." Isaac sadly smiled and remembered the scenes of him and Oliver when they were truly best friends and not enemies.


    Oliver''s teeth began grinding against each other, "Shut up! You never cared about me, and don''t act like you did!" His grip on the revolver tightened.


    "¡­" Isaac''s arms dropped next to him, "I hate that I actually did¡­ you were like my brother."


    "Shut up, you bastard!" Oliver''s finger pulled the trigger, and a loud ear-spilling sound rang throughout the hospital.


    Bang!


    ¡­


    Outside the hospital.


    The police captain narrowed his eyes as his gaze scanned the dark interior of the hospital. The windows didn''t show anything, and the hospital seemed quiet.


    Bang!


    Then, a loud sound reverberated in the yard.


    "Gunshots!" The police captain shouted, and every police officer hid behind their cars. They pulled out their handguns, and the seriousness of this situation increased.


    ''No, no, no!'' The police captain screamed inside his mind.


    ¡­


    Inside the hospital.


    "Haahh¡­ Hannah¡­" Oliver''s rough sound of breathing echoed in the darkness. His hand slowly lowered as he saw the white-haired man falling to the ground.


    Thud¡­


    Isaac''s back crashed with the tiled floor, and a pool of blood soon formed around him.


    Luke and the rest of Oliver''s friends exchanged nces.


    "It''s over¡­" Oliver heaved a sigh of relief and ced the revolver back in the holster. He looked at the bleeding Isaac with a cold gaze, lips slightly curving upward.


    "Ugh¡­" Isaac let out a painful cough, and he could feel his entire body screaming in pain. Then, Oliver''s shadow loomed over him, and he could see the sickening grin on his face.


    "You lost," Oliver said gleefully, his entire body spasming in pleasure as his nemesis was finally lying in front of him in pain.


    Isaac''s eyelids heavily closed. Then, a sh of images began ravaging his mind. The first images showed him as a kid, enjoying the coldness of the weather while ying with toy trucks.


    Then, it showed images of High School, him walking in the corridors with Oliver in tow, and the rest of his friends talking with smiles.


    Finally, it showed an image of that fateful night in the hotel, him hugging Luna, their lips connected with euphoric faces.


    "No¡­" Isaac''s eyelids re-opened, and he managed to utter a word.


    "What?" Oliver frowned, "You still didn''t die? Bastard¡­" He pulled out the revolver, spun the cylinder, and aimed at Isaac''s face.


    Isaac smashed his hand against the floor and shouted, "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed¡­"


    "Slippery!"


    Bang!

 Chapter 437 The Final Battle (6)

    Chapter 437 The Final Battle (6)


    The entire third floor''s floor started shining like it was suddenly coated in soap.


    Oliver''s legs buckled under him, and he identally pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet tore through the air and through Luke''s thigh.


    "Ahhh!" Luke screamed with frightening pain and fell over with his head crashing on the slippery floor. His pupils turned white, and he lost consciousness with one final breath.


    "Damn!" Oliver rubbed the back of his head and tried to stand up, but as his hand touched the slippery floor, he fell over again.


    His friends also had difficulties standing up. It was like they were on the ice-skating rink. It looked ratherical when they tried to use each other''s bodies to push each other up, just to end up falling over.


    "Cough!" Isaac spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to his side. He grimaced and touched his shoulder, which was bleeding. Oliver''s shot wasn''t perfect. The bullet tore straight through his shoulder de and caused a big loss of blood.


    However, it wasn''t lethal. But, doing the spell for the final time caused severe injuries to his body. He didn''t know the extent of the damage, but he knew that if he didn''t get treatment soon, he would die.


    His vision had already started turning foggy¡ªhe could barely see Oliver and the rest.


    However, his voice screamed inside his mind.


    ''Stay awake¡­ awake¡­ awake¡­ AWAKE!'' The shouts soon turned desperate. Isaac tried to crawl forward but barely had any strength.


    Then, his shouts reached his heart and brain. The chains tightly holding onto them began loosening slightly and showed signs of cracking.


    Isaac''s gray eyes shook with the "o" shaped pupils beginning to change. A snowke symboled pattern appeared, and an unknown strength began emerging from the depths of his very soul.


    A strange, terrifying, and mystifying energy shrouded the entire hospital. The clouds above the Snowstorm cleared up, and the stars in the sky began shining brightly.


    The crescent-shaped moon turned blue.


    ¡­


    "Hmm?" In a godly pce made of gold and silver, the God of the World of Four Seasons turned his attention toward the tiny city in the distance.


    His eyes showed ripples, like a rocknding on the water''s surface.


    "Someone¡­ had that illness?" God stood up and, with one step, appeared at the edge of the clouds. He could see the clouds clearing up above one city while mystifying energy shrouded the entire world.


    "God Illness¡­ Someone else than Adam had it¡­ A descendant of his, perhaps?" The God turned his attention away, and a small smile crept up on his face, "It took Adam a hundred years to break the chains of God''s Illness.


    "But, it only took 18 years for this kid¡­ what monstrous talent he possesses¡­ the future of Humanity seems bright, heh." The God, with a sincere smile, returned to his pce with a joyful expression.


    ¡­


    Inside the hospital.


    The chains broke one after another. Isaac tightly grabbed his chest with waves of pain assaulting him. He didn''t understand what was happening inside him, but endless waves of pain and strength engulfed him.


    "Ahhh!" His distorted scream reverberated through the hospital.


    "Argh¡­" Oliver grabbed the fallen revolver and again aimed at Isaac, "Die, you bastard!"


    Isaac''s snowke-patterned pupils reflected the revolver''s barrel. Then, he sped his hands and prayed.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed¡­"


    "Darkness!"


    The entire hospital was shrouded in endless fogs of darkness.


    The police officers who were about to enter the hospital halted their steps. They thought they were hallucinating, but the dimly lit corridors seemed to be made of darkness!


    They couldn''t even see the floor, nor the walls of the building!


    "What the hell is happening here?" The police captain held his handgun in his right hand and asked with frustration.


    Bang!


    Then, a loud bang came from the hospital, forcing the police officers to take cover.


    Inside the hospital.


    Oliver looked around and emptied the revolver''s cylinder. However, he couldn''t hear his shots hitting anything.


    Thud!


    Then a sharp pain assaulted the back of his head as his eyes turned white with foam flowing out of his mouth. He fell to the floor with a loss of consciousness.


    Isaac lowered his hand and coldly looked at the unconscious Oliver. Then, he stepped over him, walked toward the staircase, descended to the ground floor, and staggered to the back exit.


    After stepping outside, his vision was already so foggy that he couldn''t see even a meter in front. He looked around anxiously, blood still dripping down his shoulder and the snowkes on his pupils fading away. Soon, his "o" shaped pupils were back.


    "Haah¡­" Isaac only felt three things. The pain on his shoulder, the coldness seeping into his bones, and exhaustion filling him.


    "Argh¡­" As the chest pain returned, Isaac dropped to his knees and took a handful of snow into his right hand. Then, he spread it around the bleeding wound, hoping to slightly stop the bleeding.


    dly the bullet tore straight through the shoulder and didn''t get stuck inside.


    Isaac''s foggy vision couldn''t see anything except his bloodied palms. When the vision got even worse, heid down on his back, staring at the cloudless sky and stars above.


    ''This is¡­ not the worst way to go out¡­'' Isaac sadly smiled and tried to keep his eyes open, but it was impossible. His eyelids weighed a ton, and they were forced shut.


    Isaac''s breathing slowed down, and the blood-stained wound dripped with blood. His eyes turned white, and everything turned dark for him.


    After a short while, the sound of snow crunching under heavy steps reverberated near him.


    "Captain, someone is here!" After the shout, close to ten footsteps echoed in the yard. Then, over ten shadows loomed over the body of unconsciousness Isaac.


    "Oh my gosh, he is shot!"


    "Call the ambnce!"


    "Let''s stop the bleeding, hurry up!"


    The police captain stayed on the sidelines with his right hand trembling non-stop. Then, he gulped his saliva down his dry throat and picked up his cellphone.


    He took a deep breath and dialed a number on it. A short whileter, the call was connected.


    "Sir, we have a big problem¡­"

 Chapter 438 Three Weeks Later

    Chapter 438 Three Weeks Later


    3 weekster.


    The sky above Snowstar was beautiful ice blue. It was a cloudless day, and the temperature had decreased to -30 Celcius. It was freezing cold, but for residents of Snowstar, it was an ordinary winter day.


    The cars continued roaming on the roads while pedestrians stopped to look at nearby shop windows. They saw a TV screen showing News that had been broadcasted hundreds of times past three weeks.


    The famous incident that happened three weeks ago was all over the News. The video updated on the VideoKing website had over 30 million views and still rapidly climbing.


    As the sirens reverberated throughout Snowstar, the Hospital was eerily quiet. The hallways were rtively empty, with all nurses and doctors looking exhausted. It felt like they were held at gunpoint, and a single mistake would cost them their life.


    At the best hospital suite, a man with beautiful white hair and a sickly-looking face was lying on a hospital bed. Wires were stuck on his skin, and the machines continued beeping while showing his life signals.


    Then, his eyelids fluttered before opening fully. His gray eyes saw the unfamiliar white ceiling and felt the slight difort of the wires.


    "Ugh¡­" As he tried to move his left hand, he grimaced in pain. He then saw the bandages around his left shoulder. Then he remembered about getting shot.


    "I am in¡­ hospital?" Isaac blinked and turned to look out of the window. However, it was blocked by the dozen flower vases. The tiny desk could barely hold them all.


    Then, he saw the mechanical clock that kept ticking clockwise. It also showed the current date.


    It was the 23rd of December.


    "W-What¡­ It has been three weeks?" Isaac felt his heart pounding harder and faster.


    Creak!


    The suite''s door opened, and a beautiful nurse came with hair tied in a ponytail and a clipboard in her right hand. She was curiously checking the notes when she heard the unnatural beeping sound. It came from a machine connected to the patient''s heartbeat.


    She lifted her head and saw pair of beautiful gray eyes gazing at her. Her eyes widened, and she identally dropped the clipboard.


    ng!


    After the clipboard fell to the ground, the nurse whirled around and hurried out of the suite. Her footsteps grew distant as she seemed to be running as fast as she could.


    "Eh?" Isaac waited patiently, and soon several footsteps echoed in the distance. Soon, five exhausted-looking doctors arrived with tired smiles. They seemed truly happy to see the white-haired man awake.


    "You are awake. This is great!"


    "I guess?" Isaac frowned at their unnatural reaction.


    Then, the door opened again, and a familiar face popped up. Doctor Richard came with a calm smile. He walked past the tired doctors and took a quick nce at the machines.


    Then, turned back to Isaac and asked, smiling, "How are you doing?"


    "Good, memories slightly foggy," Isaac replied.


    "Yeah¡­" Richard wryly smiled and said, "It has been quite hectic three weeks. The doctors must be d that they can finally take a proper night of rest."


    "What happened?" Isaac asked curiously.


    "You will learn about itter. Let me check the condition of your wounds first." Richard then checked the gun wound and several bruises around the abdomen.


    Then, he wrote on the paper and said,


    "The wound looks much better already, and there are cops that want to talk to you, but before that, let me wake up your parents."


    "Wake up?" Isaac saw Richard''s lips twitching as he sighed in frustration.


    "Yeah¡­ They have stayed in the hospital ever since the incident. That''s why we have been bncing on a knife''s edge." Richard wryly smiled and left the suite.


    Soon afterward, two individuals stormed inside the room and instantly trapped Isaac in a hug. Isaac could feel his mother''s tears staining his hospital gown.


    "Are you alright?!" Isabe wiped her tears from her very red eyes. There wererge eyebags underneath her eyes like she hadn''t slept fell for ages. She also seemed to have lost weight, with her arms looking much skinnier.


    Maxwell wasn''t any different. He doesn''t look like he had showered past three weeks nor eaten much. His exhausted face still had a look of relief.


    "I am fine¡­" Isaac slowly sat up even though his parents tried to oppose it. However, he ignored the rising pain in his shoulder and leaned against the back wall.


    After Isabe and Maxwell were done inquiring about the injuries, their faces turned as solemn.


    "I can''t believe it was Oliver¡­" Isabe said with a hateful nce, her red eyes turning a shade redder.


    Maxwell''s face was ice-cold, "Yeah¡­"


    Isaac''s face turned serious after that name was mentioned, "What about Oliver? Where is he now?"


    "In police custody alongside his useless friends," Maxwell said with a tinge of hate. He was forbidden from going to the police station. It was like they were afraid of what he might do.


    For a good reason too. Maxwell couldn''t have cared less what happened to him as his trigger finger itched.


    "Oh." Isaac nodded.


    "They most likely won''t be released." Isabe said with a tiny smirk, "At first, they kept them there for protection, but Oliver basically confessed to a murder attempt, and he was in possession of an illegal firearm¡­"


    "Right, where did he even get one?" That was the question Isaac was asking himself. There weren''t weapons selling in Snowstar, thus making the city rtively safe.


    "No one knows." Maxwell replied, "I have hired a few detectives, and they will be able to find out."


    Isaac nodded.


    Creak¡­


    Then, the hospital door again opened, and two elderly folks stepped inside.


    Isaac''s eyes shook as he saw them. They were Malcolm and Madison!


    Maxwell and Isabe turned to look at them. They nodded and sat on a nearby chair as Isaac''s grandparents smiled slightly and asked questions from him.


    They heard about the incident from News. That incident was big enough to get broadcasted on Brightstar. Without further ado, they boarded their private ne and flew straight toward Snowstar.


    They met with Isabe and Maxwell in the hospital. The initial meeting was quite awkward, and the atmosphere between them was was still quite unnatural.

 Chapter 439 Luna, and Alice

    Chapter 439 Luna, and Alice


    After half an hourter, Isabe, Malcolm, and Madison went to fetch some food, leaving only Isaac and Maxwell.


    As the door closed, Isaac asked immediately, ''''What about the Grand Priest robe?''''


    Maxwell sighed and said, ''''Legacy Company visited me and wanted the robe back. Unfortunately, I didn''t have it. The police had.


    ''''But then, they visited the police station, somehow got the robes that were part of the evidence, and left shortly afterward.''''


    ''''Oh¡­ Sorry.'''' Isaac apologized because it was clearly his fault.


    ''''Oh, don''t be.'''' Maxwell shook his head, ''''It never belonged to me anyway¡­''''


    As they continued talking, Isabe returned with a tray of food.


    After they finished the food, the door creaked open, and another familiar face appeared, with her beautiful crystal eyes shimmering with joy. She was dressed in a beautiful white long coat, long kneesocks, and shoes that perfectly fit her soft, delicate feet.


    Luna couldn''t help but smile as she saw the familiar gray eyes widening in surprise and joy.


    Isabe and Maxwell nced at the doorway. Then, they stood up and gave onest hug at Isaac before leaving.


    While walking past Luna, Isabe smiled and patted her soft hair. They have had the pleasure of meeting with their son''s girlfriend quite often, and they quite enjoy herpany. She was also as cute as a kitten, making their exhaustion slowly disappear after they saw her.


    Luna entered the suite with a smile and hugged Isaac immediately. Her lips stayed tightly closed, and her pounding heart could be felt by Isaac.


    Isaac rubbed her soft hair and held her by her waist. After staying quiet for several minutes, they separated from a hug and shared a quick kiss.


    Luna sat on the chair and smiled cheerfully, ''''How are you doing?''''


    ''''Good, as you can see~.'''' Isaac moved his limbs around like he wasn''t in pain at all.


    ''''Yay!'''' Luna giggled and rested her chin on her palm as she sighed, ''''Are you fine¡­ for real?''''


    ''''Yeah.'''' Isaac scratched his head and felt slightly embarrassed at the attention he was receiving. He didn''t think he was in bad condition and was shocked that he seemed to be in aa for nearly three weeks.


    He only received a gun wound but was somehow bedridden for so long.


    Then, he felt a soft hand wrapping around his bandaged hand. He turned to look at the teary-eyed Luna in surprise. Tiny beads of tears dripped down her soft cheeks. She looked truly pitiful and would attract the protective instincts of everyone.


    ''''L-Luna?''''


    ''''I was so scared!'''' Her shout came from the depths of her soul. Her voice shook, with thest bits of words being a little bit hard to understand because of her crying.


    ''''I-¡­ I thought you died!'''' Luna''s grip tightened with her crystal blue eyes trembling.


    Isaac wrapped his bandages arms around her slender waist and pulled her into a hug. He bit his trembling lips and ignored the pain on his shoulder.


    They hugged for close to ten minutes, with their bodies almost glued to each other. Then, Luna finished crying, her eyes still red but tiny smile on her face.


    ''''Sorry¡­'''' She wiped the tearstains with a face flushed in embarrassment, ''''I-It''s just that¡­ Everyone was panicking that day like you had died¡­ So¡­ I thought about the worst.''''


    Isaac facepalmed and was certain that his parents again overreacted, ''Well¡­ I guess everyone would react that way if their children were shot¡­ But, still¡­ Sigh.''


    Luna then smiled and opened her tiny mouth, ''''I wanted to give you a get-well present¡­ But¡­''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac saw her saddened face and asked, ''''What is it?''''


    Luna nced at the door¡ªit was closed¡ªthen whispered, ''''I found it¡­''''


    ''''Found what?'''' Isaac leaned closer until his hot breath tickled Luna''s neck.


    Luna had a half-smile, ''''Thest two ingredients for Dream Potion.''''


    ''''What?!'''' Isaacpletely ignored his painful shoulder and showed a huge smile, ''''Where?!''''


    Luna was happy to see him smiling, but then she sighed with frustration, ''''Stronglord has that Auction House. It has been in construction for some time, and now it''s finally finished.


    ''''They are holding the biggest auction in Summer Realm''s history, and Root of Dreams and Leaves of Dreams are auctioned there.''''


    ''''That''s excellent news!'''' Isaac didn''t understand why she was half-sad about the fact. They were now in the final straight, and soon, Luna would be cured!


    ''''It is, but¡­'''' Luna held his hand and affectionately looked at him, ''''There have been rumors circling in yer base¡­ Apparently, Dream Potion can increase the strength of a yer immensely. That''s why everyone has been on the hunt for those ingredients, and that''s why the auction is very popr.''''


    Isaac''s grip tightened, and he said with a strong voice, ''''I will get them¡­ I will!''''


    Luna smiled and believed that her boyfriend was able to do anything. But, she still had tiny hope of ever receiving those two ingredients.


    The past week has been difficult for him. The news about Isaac had already brought her to the brink of depression. Then there was also the Winter Illness that was growing stronger. She still hadn''t told her parents, and yesterday she coughed blood, meaning that she should be already back in the hospital.


    Creak¡­


    The door opened, and Isaac''s face had another smile.


    Alice, Sophia, and Marvin entered the room with different looks. Isaac''s sisters looked relieved, while Marvin was grinning like a child.


    ''''Hehe, did we interrupt something?'''' Marvin winked at Isaac while the girls rolled their eyes.


    Then, Alice and Sophia turned to look at Luna. The room''s atmosphere changed significantly.


    Isaac narrowed his eyes while looking at his sisters. If they nned to bother Luna, he wouldn''t care about being in aa only an hour ago. He would still whoop their asses.


    However, against all odds, Alice wrapped her arms around Luna, who let out cute ''Kyaa'' after getting suddenly hugged.


    ''''Brother, your girlfriend''s cheeks are so soft!'''' Alice said with a flushed face while rubbing her cheeks at Luna''s soft cheeks.


    Luna pouted, but her lips slightly curved upward when she was being hugged.


    ''''I have decided!'''' Alice smugly smiled at Isaac and yfully said, ''''Luna is now mine!''''


    Isaac raised his eyebrow, ''What the hell?''


    ''''Alice.'''' Luna, while pouting, looked at the yful Alice, who grinned as a result and continued hugging tighter.


    Marvin sighed and sat next to Isaac, ''''Yeah¡­ When they first met, they were like mortal enemies, but now¡­ I honestly think Luna is some kind of witch who managed to bewitch first my brother, and now sister.''''


    Sophia sighed at the scene and asked, ''''Isaac, are you alright?''''


    Luna and Alice turned to look at Isaac.


    ''''I am,'''' Isaac replied while rubbing his painful shoulder. Then, he turned to look at Marvin and asked, ''''Did you bring it?''''


    ''''Of course!'''' Marvin grinned and unzipped his bag.

    Chapter 440 The Grand Auction (1)


    Zip!


    Marvin unzipped the bag, took a headset-like item from there, and gave it to Isaac with a grin, "You probably gonna need this."


    Isaac held the Mythical VR Helmet in his grasp, and it hadn''t changed even a bit. The visor was still clear, and the frame was unharmed.


    He then looked at Luna, who was hugged by clingy Alice.


    "Are you ready?"


    "Hmm, ready for what?" Luna managed to escape Alice''s hug and asked curiously.


    "To get rid of your illness." Luna''s eyes showed the reflection of Isaac''s smile. Her eyes rippled with her heart pounding loudly in her chest.


    Alice and Sophia looked confused.


    Marvin''s eyebrow jumped, and he wondered what his little brother meant by that.


    "U-Umm¡­ Y-Yes¡­" Luna took her helmet with shaky hands and looked at the legendary VR Helmet. She was a little afraid but tried to utter her courage.


    Then, she ced the helmet around her head and was about to press the button that turned it on.


    However, Isaac then interjected, "If you y like that, you will hurt your neck."


    Luna was sitting on a hospital chair with a thin backrest and no neck rest. She was already a bit hunched, and staying in that position for hours could affect her badly.


    "I-I will be fine." Luna''s voice shook.


    Isaac shifted his body in the bed, making enough space for Luna to fit next to him. He then patted the space next to him andid down while putting the headset around his face.


    Luna''s cheeks flushed, and she looked around the room. Alice pouted, Sophia rolled his eyes, and Marvin was taking a picture.


    Luna stood up with the helmet in her head. Then, she gentlyy down next to Isaac, their shoulders touching each other, and their waists were in touch.


    She then pressed the button on the helmet and quickly wanted to enter the game to hide her embarrassment. The looks she was receiving made her want to dig a hole and hide there forever.


    Isaac took a deep breath, pressed the button, and closed his eyes. The vision blinked and shed. Then, both of them stopped moving with emotionless faces.


    Creak¡­


    Like clockwork, Isabe and Maxwell entered the hospital. Then they saw two individuals lying on the bed, helmets around their heads.


    "I am not sure whether Isaac should be ying," Isabe said worriedly.


    "His injuries don''t apply to his avatar. He will be fine." Maxwell said with certainty.


    Then, Whitelock Family left the hospital room, leaving the two lovebirds alone there. As the door was locked tightly, the room turned dim, and the ice-blue sky began changing shades. Soon, the sky was dark, and stars shone brightly.


    ¡­


    "Mmm¡­" Isaac rubbed his eyes and then saw the ceiling of his bedroom. As soon as he thought about sitting up, he could feel someone rolling next to him.


    He turned around to see Luna hiding her face with blushing cheeks and red ears.


    "Luna?"


    "I am so embarrassed." She replied shyly while showing a side of her face, "I hope your parents didn''t see us lying next to each other."


    Isaac''s lips curved upward slightly, "They seemed to have epted you. I am d." He then stood up and offered a hand to Luna. She held his hand and stood up.


    Then, he took out the teleportation pearl and wrapped his left arm around Luna''s waist. After pulling her closer, he gave a quick peck on her soft pink lips and murmured, "Stronglord''s Auction House."


    Luna hugged Isaac tightly with flushed cheeks, and then a bright light enveloped the entire room. Soonter, the light disappeared, and the room was empty.


    ¡­


    Murmur¡­


    After Isaac and Luna exited the bright light. They were in a middle of an auction house with a bustling lounge. They were standing beside a crowd of people who were trying to rush inside the auction hall.


    Isaac was about to find a way out, but then a ringing noise echoed throughout his mind.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Strength Limit Had Been Removed!]


    [Congrattions, yer Wraith!]


    ''What?!'' Isaac quickly checked the interface, and the "MAX" next to the Strength stat was gone. After re-reading the notifications, his eyes shook as he couldn''t believe it.


    The strength limit that had been haunting him was gone just like that?


    "Isaac!" Then, Isaac was shaken awake by screaming Luna. She hugged his arm tightly, fearfully looking around the sea of people. She was dressed in the witch getup and attracted a lot of attention due to her pretty looks.


    Isaac shook his head, concentrating on the present, and decided to find outter why his limit had disappeared. While holding Luna''s soft hand, he navigated through the people and reached the receptionist''s desk.


    As soon he arrived before the desk, the receptionist gave a sorry smile and said, "Apologies, sir, but the auction hall had been closed."


    "No¡­" Luna''s lips curved downward, and a sad smile appeared. She looked at Isaac and was surprised to see him smiling.


    Isaac pulled out a card from his inventory and showed it to the receptionist.


    The receptionist''s face paled and immediately bowed, "Sorry for my bad manners, please follow me!"


    With shocked Luna in tow, Isaac followed after the receptionist, who led them to their VIP Room. It was a room with one desk, a leather couch, and arge one-way mirror.


    They could see the auction hall, but no one could see them.


    After they were let in, the receptionist apologized one more time and left.


    "W-W-What was that?" Luna felt like she was dreaming.


    Isaac smiled and fidgeted the card around his fingers. Then, he put it back on the inventory and sat on the couch with Luna.


    The auction hall was immenselyrger than only a month ago. It could fit easily over 30,000, and the stage was muchrger. There were twenty other VIP Rooms, each having a one-way mirror.


    Isaac could only see the dark window, while the VIP room guests saw the clear window with a clear view of the stage.


    Luna''s eyes sparkled as she saw the number of people. She had never seen this many people in one ce.


    She never visited the Colosseum, where there could be over 100,000 spectators.


    Isaac rapped his finger against the armrest and heaved a sigh, ''I have to win the bid¡­ I have to!''

 Chapter 441 The Grand Auction (2)

    Chapter 441 The Grand Auction (2)


    As the auction hall''s light''s dimmed down, the people grew silent. There were still several minutes before the start, but they continued staying silent out of respect.


    Isaac saw a catalog of items ced on top of the small desk. He picked it up and flipped through the pages while Luna watched.


    Then, their eyes widened as they saw pages 80 and 81. The pages showed the Root of Dreams and Leaves of Dreams.


    Luna''s fists tightened, and her lips trembled. Her cure was only arms-length away, but it seemed a distance impossible to be crossed.


    Isaac closed the catalog and crossed his legs. There was a long wait for those items. Until then, they were in the role of spectators.


    ''''Isaac¡­'''' Luna opened her mouth, murmured with a voice that was low in volume, and closed her mouth again. Isaac didn''t notice her attempt to talk.


    She turned her face away, trying to focus on some other things. The chances of winning those two items were nigh-impossible.


    Even winning the first item, Root of Dreams, was difficult, immensely difficult.


    Then, they still would need to have enough money to bid on Leaves of Dreams. That was even harder than winning the first bid!


    She knew that Isaac would me himself for their loss and was thinking of ways offorting him. She didn''t want him to feel bad because of her.


    Her eyes rippled like water''s surface, and tiny beads of tears brimmed around the corner of her blue eyes. But she quickly wiped them away and straightened her back, acting like everything was fine.


    The auction hall''s ceiling light was killed off. Then, the light above the stage was lit up, and a warm light shrouded the stage.


    Then, curtains were opened, and a handsome silver-haired man walked toward the center of the stage. The audience held their breaths, acting extremely respectfully toward him.


    ''''Wee, everyone.'''' His crisp sound reverberated across the hall. Then, a loud pping came from the direction of the audience.


    After the pping cooled down, the silver-haired man smiled and said, ''''Today is time for the auction of the decade. It is to celebrate the opening of Grand Auction House of Stronglord, and perhapsrgest Auction House in entire Summer Realm!''''


    p!


    The ps reverberated.


    ''''Today''s items are from Summer, Spring, Autumn, Winter, and even¡­ From the God Realm!''''


    Gasp!


    The audience gasped after the mention of the legendary God Realm!


    ''''There are also items from Dream Realm, Spawn Dimension, Moon Realm, and Time Realm!''''


    Each word sent a wave of shock toward the audience. Everyone was holding a catalog in their hands, and all of them had written down the most valuable items.


    Everyone was waiting anxiously for the top items, starting from 80th!


    ''''Well then, enough of my ramblings, let''s start the auction!'''' With a snap of his fingers, the curtains opened again, and a beautiful woman pushed a cart to the center stage.


    The audience turned loud and, with anticipation, looked toward the cart.


    Inside one of the VIP suites.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Emperor Lock Stronglord rapped his finger against the table and curiously flipped through the catalog of items. Behind him were several servants and two of his sons, Key and Brass.


    Key was a normal-faced man with short blond hair and a well-toned body. He was wearing royal robes and was curiously looking toward the stage.


    Brass was a bulky-looking man with blond hair and with receding hairline. He was very muscr, the robes barely hiding his muscles. He seemed to be bored.


    ''''God Realm items¡­ Interesting.'''' Emperor Lock Stronglord murmured and closed the catalog. With interest piqued, he curiously looked forward to the uing items.


    Inside another VIP suite.


    Isaac and Luna were talking about what had happened past three weeks.


    Since Isaac wasn''t in-the-game, Lune couldn''t keep the store open either. She was inexperienced and might have messed some things up.


    Khione visited several times, always wondering where Isaac was. Seeing Luna circling around the bushes and not answering, she understood that something had happened and disappeared soon after.


    She didn''t return anymore after that.


    Luna also heard about somemotion in Snowstar''s High School. White-robed individuals were offering sacrifices to some ''''God'''', begging to save someone with a name that starts with I.


    Isaac''s eyebrow twitched after hearing that and changed the conversation topic. He asked whether there were anything Realm Portals rted.


    Luna said with a slight smile that the Priesthood yers found out the location of the Realm Portal. Then, a big battle ensued because the priests and priestesses didn''t let anyone inside the High Temple.


    In the end, they had toe to an arrangement. The priests and priestesses understood the terrifying power of the yers. They were basically immortals, while they weren''t.


    The High Priest and Priestess allowed the yers to use the Realm Portals to travel across the Realms. Also, the Dungeon was still off-limits. The yers argued about that for a long while, but then they allowed the strongest yer present to try it out. If he could survive 10 minutes, they were allowed to use it.


    The yers thought that it was easy. The strongest yer was, after all, level 210 with a strong Guild backing him up. With high morale, he entered the dungeon, but only minutester, a notification rang throughout the Priesthood that he had died.


    That was a waking-up call for everyone. There were some monstrous-looking beasts hidden in the dungeon.


    When that so-called strongest yer in Priesthood returned to the game after 1 week, he was already slightly behind others. He then continued saying that the dungeon was impossible. Some mob beast killed him that might have been the weakest beast in the entire dungeon!


    That was shocking news. Thus, everyone stopped trying the Dungeon and focused on leveling up.


    Isaac mulled slightly. He was three weeks behind other yers, and his Worldwide ranking was around 5000.


    However, he knew by breaking the chains of the limitations, he would be able to catch up with everyone and go way beyond until everyone had to try to catch him!

 Chapter 442 The Grand Auction (3)

    Chapter 442 The Grand Auction (3)


    Murmur!


    The audience erupted in loud chatter and conversations. As the lights danced on the stage, the tenth item was rolled to the center stage.


    The silver-haired man smiled and showed a scroll with yellowish paper, looking ancient, "This is an ancient scroll holding a secret fighting manual. It is from Moon Realm, making it quite valuable."


    The audience gasped in shock, and many eye pairs were locked on that scroll.


    "Let''s begin!" After the silver-haired man''s shout, the starting big was announced, "The starting bid is 100k!"


    The audience turned silent. Many tried to determine the worth of that item. It was ancient, making its historical value rise, and its fighting manual, which were in high-demand weeks ago, but not so much anymore.


    Then, there was the fact that it was from Moon Realm, a realm untouched by yers. Except for Darth and Isaac, whose journey to that mystifying ce was still secret.


    In the audience, two bearded men with identical facial features red at each other. The first one had a scar over his right eye and wore blue robes with fist patterns.


    The second bearded man had a scar over his left eye and wore red robes with fist patterns.


    They were surrounded by young men and women wearing identical robes. They were Guild Masters of two rival Guilds, named Red Fist and Blue Fist.


    Their Guild members hatefully red at their rivals, with fists clenched and eyes showing a fiery me.


    The Guild Master of Blue Fist, named BlueBoss, stood up and shouted, "150k!"


    As the first bid was shouted, the audience turned silent.


    The members of Blue Fist looked at their boss with awe and respect. They were d to be part of a Guild with a rich Guild Master. It increases their own status by miles!


    The Guild Master of Red Fist, named RedRoss, stood up and shouted, "200k!"


    After his shout, imaginary lightning sparks were lit up between BlueBoss, and RedRoss.


    "Hmph." BlueBoss flicked his sleeves and haughtily lifted his chin, "300k!"


    "400k!" RedRoss immediately countered with a calm visage.


    Several gasps echoed from the audience. To many, that amount was already way beyond their budget.


    The bidding war continued until BlueBoss shouted a terrifying 1 million bid!


    Both Guilds gasped.


    RedRoss'' lips trembled. But, when he felt the sharp gazes of his guild members, he couldn''t stop and ept his loss!


    "1.1 million!" A single shout silenced the whole audience.


    "Oh." The silver-haired man smiled, ''We should invite more often rival Guilds.''


    "Damn, this fucker¡­" BlueBoss bit his lips, and as his guild members'' innocent gazes were locked on him, it felt like he was being cut by thousand des. He knows they respect and worship him. Thus, he couldn''t stop!


    "1.2 million!"


    "Fuck!" RedRoss wiped the blue blood that resulted from his idental bite at his lip.


    To the audience, this was already too much for a simple fighting manual. The most expensive fighting manual was nearly 300k, and it was only Rare-ranked!


    1.2 million for fighting manual should be above Unique¡ª Epic ranked!


    But, the starting bid was only 100k, meaning that the chance of fighting manual being above Rare was very small.


    RedRoss rapped his finger against the armrest and wondered whether he should bid more. However, if he didn''t, he would lose respect and be humiliated by his hated rival.


    Thus, he came to a conclusion to go all-out!


    ''I won''t lose.'' RedRoss stood up with his hand raised. His crisp voice reverberated throughout the hall, "1.3 million!"


    BlueBoss'' eyes shook, ''This maniac!''


    The audience was growing crazy.


    Luna was utterly shocked, "T-T-This¡­ It''s so expensive, and it''s only the 10th item¡­ is there really no chance?"


    Isaac calmly leaned against the backrest, his eyelids slightly shut.


    "I-Isaac." Luna touched his hand and bit her trembling lip, "It will be fine if we won''t win it. I will still love you."


    Isaac''s eyebrow jumped. Then, his eyelids opened, and a calm pair of gray eyes gazed toward the center, "How much money do you have?"


    "U-Uhmm¡­" Luna opened the interface and sighed heavily, "800k, and that was after I intentionally gathered for this auction, b-but, in the end, it was too difficult to reach one million."


    "Alright, it''s fine." Isaac crossed his legs with a grin pulling up the corner of his mouth, "Leave it to me. I have gathered some money."


    [White Coins: 11,956,219]


    With a calm smile, Isaac continued watching with hands folded.


    ¡­


    "Argh, 2 million!" RedRoss'' whole body shook as it took his entire willpower to utter that terrifying bid!


    The audience was already numb to shock. They thought how ridiculous it was for someone to bet this much for a fighting manual!


    BlueBoss'' face was bright red, and he wanted to strangle RedRoss to death!


    His guild members were already shuddering in their chairs. That much money was something none of them had ever seen.


    RedRoss saw BlueBoss'' hesitation. He smiled and felt like the victory was near, but it felt like a knife was cutting through his heart. He was bidding his whole wealth, and the item wasn''t even nearly worth it!


    Inside the VIP Suite.


    "Why are they bidding so much?" Luna asked with wonder. She could tell that neither of them wanted to keep going, but they still did.


    "Rival Guilds." Isaac wryly smiled and shook his head.


    Then, at the center stage, the silver-haired man shouted, "Going once, going twice¡­"


    The entire audience went silent and, with excitement, wondered whether it was over or not.


    However, then BlueBoss stood up and shouted with bloodied teeth, "2.1 million!!!"


    "Ptui!" RedRoss spat a mouthful of blood and simply plopped down on his chair. He was soon surrounded by his guild members, who were shocked to see him knocked out!


    RedRoss'' avatar turned into pixels, and he disappeared from the World of White. The anger-filled and never-wracking bidding war made him lose consciousness!


    "Going once, going twice, sold!" The silver-haired man announced with a heartful smile.


    "Yeeeeeeees!" BlueBoss screamed with happiness.


    Then, Blue Fist''s Vice Guild master, BlueNote, said with a tired face, "Guild Master, you spent all our funds. Now, we have to sell our guild building and kick out half of our members."

 Chapter 443 The Grand Auction (4)

    Chapter 443 The Grand Auction (4)


    After the heart-pumping bidding war, the auction hall became more silent, and the excitement cooled down.


    The dark-windowed VIP suites were still silent, making the audience members wonder when they were going to make their first move.


    It was like they could feel the stares of predators, the true wealthy ones that could bid way over 2 million!


    The auction went by, and soon, the 20th, 30th, and 40th items went by.


    Soon, it was time for the 50th item!


    As the item was pulled to the stage, the audience turned louder because the item was human!


    There were thousands of shocked looks and many disgusted ones. They didn''t know that the Grand Auction House was also a ve Auction House!


    The humanoid figure was a pale-faced man with no emotion on his face. He was dressed in white clothing that was as pale as his skin.


    The silver-haired smiled and saw the looks of disgust directed at him. He still didn''t lose his smile as he began exining.


    "This is the 50th item, Fighting Puppet!" As his voice reverberated across the hall, the audience looked confused.


    "The Fighting Puppet is not really human but built by our world''s greatest minds for one purpose: to be both training partners and help in dangerous missions!''''


    "There are only 100 Fighting Puppets made, and we managed to get one with a stroke of luck. This is a chance you shouldn''t miss out!"


    The audience gasped in realization. They bowed as an apology, embarrassed that they thought it was a real person.


    The silver-haired man''s exnation also made many curious. The Fighting Puppet looked quite strong with a well-toned body.


    "The starting bid is 500k!"


    Before the audience could start bidding, a single voice rang from the dark-windowed room, "600k."


    "Heh." The silver-haired man wryly smiled and nced in the direction of the dark-windowed room. He lifted his hat and gave a short bow before straightening his back.


    The audience was quiet, everyone held their breaths, and they didn''t dare to bid against the VIP.


    "Going once, going twice, sold." The silver-haired man knew that this was going to happen, but he hoped that other VIP guests would bid, but it seemed they were waiting for future items.


    "Let''s take a 10-minute break since we are halfway done!" The silver-haired man said and left the stage. The light disappeared from the stage, and the ceiling light was turned on above the audience.


    Lune stretched her legs, letting out a tiny moan, and asked, "What should we do?"


    "I have an idea," Isaac replied and leaned closer toward Luna. She timidly leaned backward, soon lying on the couch with Isaac above her, looking down at her beautiful face.


    His lips soon pressed against her soft, pinkish lips.


    Luna''s vision turned foggy, and her cheeks flushed. She responded to the kiss, but as soon as she put more force, Isaac removed his lips and slightly smiled.


    Luna''s face was bright red as she held her palm on Isaac''s chest, then she shyly spoke, "A-a-are you sure we should be doing this here? I-I thought we would this somewhere private¡­ in your bedroom¡­ o-or mine."


    "Eh?" Isaac''s went nk, and his heart stopped.


    Luna blushed even further and continued, "I-I haven''t even taken a shower yet¡­ I-I didn''t think we would do this so soon." She rubbed her legs together, making her look very alluring.


    Isaac''s mouth showed an "O" shape.


    Luna shyly averted her gaze, her vision foggy and a happy smile on her face, "A-after auction? S-Somewhere private?"


    As Isaac continued being nk as a white sheet, a voice came from the stage. The auction was resuming.


    He briskly sat down with a straight back, his face clouded and heart pounding.


    Luna sat up with a shy smile and cheeks pink with redness spreading around her ears.


    The auction continued running smoothly.


    The sky above Stronglord was dark while stars shone brightly and circled around arge moon.


    The Grand Auction''s event gathered a lot of attention as the event was quite bright and loud. It looked very festive, and even though there were still millions of citizens and yers outside, they enjoyed the atmosphere.


    They ordered food from roadside stalls and enjoyed thepany of their friends.


    As time moved quickly, soon it was time for the 79th item!


    Luna rubbed her legs with nervousness. She then saw Isaac sitting nkly and remembered that he hadn''t spoken a word for half an hour.


    "Isaac?" She gently woke him out of his stupor.


    "A-ah, yes?" Isaac whipped his head to the side and saw Luna''s pink cheeks, causing him to gulp dryly.


    "Next item is Root of Dreams. Are you sure you are fine?" She held his hand gently, worried that the real-life injury was affecting him.


    "Yes¡­ I have a question." Isaac couldn''t remove the thoughts from his mind and decided to ask, just to be sure.


    "Y-Yes?" Luna put her hands on herp, listening curiously with a cute smile.


    "You¡­ talked about sex, right?"


    Luna''s cheeks went bright red, and her heart began pounding rapidly.


    "D-d-don''t say that aloud¡­ it''s embarrassing." She shyly smiled and twirled around with her hair. Then, she shyly nodded and replied, "Y-Yes¡­ I-I don''t think the ce is appropriate to do such intimate act¡­ and I kind of want to do it in real-life¡­"


    Isaac''s heart stopped for a moment before it continued pounding again.


    He turned back to the stage with dry lips and nodded, "Ahem¡­ yeah, you are right. In real life, it''s better."


    "S-So¡­ when will we do it?" Luna asked with embarrassment. She felt slightly light-headed.


    "After we log off?" Isaac said with a tiny smile and excitement sprouting inside him, "I know the hospital isn''t the best ce¡­ but we would be alone with soundproof walls surrounding us, sounds quite a good ce, right?"


    Luna''s body trembled, and she shyly nodded before turning away in haste.


    "Going once, going twice, sold!" The silver-haired man announced the winner of the 79th item. Then, the 80th item was rolled to the stage, and the yers in the audience turned serious.


    Luna''s eyes shook.


    Isaac locked his fingers with a serious look, ''It''s time.''

 Chapter 444 The Grand Auction (5)

    Chapter 444 The Grand Auction (5)


    ''''The 80th item to be auctioned is something of a rarity.'''' The silver-haired man introduced a ss bottle with brownish roots inside. The roots emitted some strange energy that wrapped the whole stage.


    ''''This ingredient is called Root of Dreams. A special product of Dream World!''''


    The beautiful woman, who pulled the cart, felt intoxicated by being in the near vicinity of the bottle. It was like there was some kind of strange energy around the bottle that kept pulling her toward it.


    However, she woke up from her stupor by a gentle push from the silver-haired man.


    The yers directed their greedy eyes toward the ss bottle. They had heard rumors of Dream Potion. No one knew where the rumor came from, but it had been the biggest talk past week. Apparently, it helps the yer to improve enough to be Top yer with one leap.


    Inside various VIP Suites, many interested gazes were directed toward the stage.


    In one of them, a tanned woman with curly blond hair and an exotic-looking face showed a spark of interest. She was a resident of Noble Circle, part of the Sunflower Family.


    Her name was ir Sunflower, the Matriarch of the Sunflower Family.


    She rapped her long-nailed finger against the small table, and a tiny smile forced her lips to curve upward. Behind her were several Sunflower Family''s servants.


    ''''This was the¡­ The root of Dreams?'''' She asked the servant who held the catalog in her arms.


    ''''Yes, madam.'''' The servant replied with pleasantry.


    ''''Hmm, how much is the budget?'''' While picking up the ss containing champagne, she asked, ''''How much can I bid while I still have enough to bid for thest items?''''


    ''''4 million.'''' The servant replied after making a quick calction.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' She smiled slightly.


    In another VIP Suite.


    The room had a ck-haired man with a well-toned body and short beard watching the auction with a lofty expression. Behind him was a ck-haired teen standing tall with his head slightly lowered, a humbled look on his face.


    ''''Root of Dreams¡­'''' The ck-haired man murmured. In his chest was a logo of an M letter with a crown topping it. He was the Guild Master of Monarch, Silver!


    His son, Lynch, humbly stood behind him, ''''Father, are you nning to bid for it?''''


    ''''Yes, but it will be a bloodbath.'''' Silver gazed toward another dark-windowed room, ''''I am not the only yer within VIP suites. They want it as badly as I do.''''


    Lynch nodded, and curiously looked toward the ss bottle, a tinge of greed in his eyes.


    After introducing the item, the silver-haired man shouted, ''''The starting bid is 1 million!''''


    It was a jaw-dropping starting bid that made many people gasp. The NPCs in the audience were shocked. They wondered why some item from Dream World was so expensive when items from Moon Realm and God Realm didn''t have such a crazy starting bid!


    Only the silver-haired man knew its importance to the yers. Thus, he made a high starting bid, which he knew would be just an appetizer.


    Luna covered her mouth in shock, ''''1 million¡­ already above what I can afford.''''


    ''''1.1 million.'''' A shout came from one of the VIP suites. An elderly man with a wrinkled face and murky eyes showed a tinge of interest. Beside him were his grandsons, watching the auction with interest.


    Then, a counter-bid was shouted from the audience, ''''1.2 million!''''


    The audience members turned to look at the wealthy-looking yer. The yer was sitting on the left-handed side of the hall, where the semi-wealthy ones were seated. There were many among them who believed they should have received a VIP suite and were quite displeased because they had to sit in the hall.


    The bidding war continued, and each bid caused turmoil in the audience''s hearts.


    The silver-haired man continued smiling gently, and the bid soon reached 2 million.


    Then, The Guild Master of Monarch, Silver, stood up and pressed a button on the side, ''''2.2 million!''''


    After shouting, he sat up with his legs crossed. His eyes slightly narrowed as he watched the dark-windowed rooms staying silent.


    However, soon that silence was interrupted, ''''2.5 million!''''


    Inside the Sunflower VIP Suite, ir Sunflower shouted with her melodious voice. She had a small smile on her exotic and mature face. Free?ebn?vel.c?m


    Silver frowned and turned to look at the dark window. Then, he shouted, ''''2.7 million!''''


    ''''Oh.'''' ir looked amused and shouted, ''''3 million!'''' Readtest chapters at Freewebn?vel Only.


    The audience gasped in horror. They stayed silent and allowed the VIPs to have their war. The wealthy ones seated in the hall gave up, not nning to risk making the VIPs their enemies.


    Silver narrowed his eyes and shouted, ''''3.1 million!''''


    ''''3.2 million!'''' ir countered.


    ''''3.3 million!'''' Silver''s eyes had a tinge of red as he shouted.


    ''''3.5 million!'''' ir countered while sipping the cup of champagne calmly.


    Silver opened his mouth before closing it again. He sighed and shook his head, ''''I give up.''''


    ''''But father, what about the Dream Potion?'''' Lynch asked with disbelief. He didn''t expect his father actually give up!


    ''''I try to win the next bid and find Root of Dreams from somewhere else.'''' Silver calmly exined with eyes closed. Still, the loss of the bidding war made his heart pinch.


    Lynch nodded thoughtfully. If it was him, he would go all out, but he understood that his father had a n and again was reminded of his shortsightedness.


    ir calmly finished the champagne and let out a sigh, ''''Haahhh¡­ I guess I won, hehe.''''


    The audience quieted down, and the silver-haired man thought it was over. He was about to announce the winner.


    But then, against all odds, a single voice reverberated throughout the hall.


    ''''4 million!'''' Isaac removed his hand from the button after shouting.


    The audience, with jaws wide open, turned to look at the dark-windowed room.


    ''''Oh?'''' Emperor Lock Stronglord slightly leaned forward and gazed toward the VIP Suite. His eyes began shining like he could see past the dark window. Then, two figures became clearer to him, and a surprise flickered off his eyes.


    ''It''s him¡­ and her¡­ I see.'' He smiled and closed his eyes. Then, opened them again, and he could only see dark windows.


    ''''Father, aren''t you nning to bid?'''' Key asked curiously.


    ''''No. It''s far more valuable for him¡­'''' Emperor Lock Stronglord said mysteriously.


    ''''Hmm?'''' ir, inside her own suite, frowned. The servants behind her gulped.


    Next to Isaac, Luna''s eyes were wide open, ''''4¡­ million¡­''''


    Isaac closed his eyes and waited for anyone to counter-bid.


    Like he expected, a melodious shout soon rang in his ears, ''''4.1 million!''''

 Chapter 445 The Grand Auction (6)

    Chapter 445 The Grand Auction (6)


    "4.1 million!" ir shouted with a slightly more serious face.


    "B-But, madam, t-the limit." Her servant tried to talk her out of it.


    "Quiet." ir said sharply and smirked slightly, "I want to test this person¡­ Does he have the guts to go against me?"


    "I-Isaac." Luna looked at Isaac with shock. Her eyes show various emotions.


    "Hmm¡­" Isaac tapped his finger against his thigh.


    The silver-haired man folded his hands and was pleasurable surprised. He didn''t expect someone to go against Sunflower Family.


    He remembered every VIP guest and their rooms. Thus, he could determine the two who were bidding against each other.


    ''ir Sunflower, and infamous yer Wraith¡­ How unexpected, but weed.''


    Isaac then briskly pressed the button and calmly said, "4.2 million."


    The audience felt their hearts stopping for a moment. There were looks of excitement directed toward the stage. Rarely they could witness a bidding war of this caliber!


    "4.3 million," ir said as calmly as she could. The servants behind her were turning paler after each bid.


    ''If he bids one more time¡­ I have to forfeit¡­ I need at least 10 million to win thest item, and I need it desperately.'' She made up her mind.


    Then, Isaac pressed the button and shouted, "4.5 million!"


    ir closed her eyes and sighed with a tiny smile, "Yeah¡­ I forfeit."


    Her servants sighed with relief.


    The audience looked back and forth between the rooms. After a short while, they realized that the bidding war might have ended!


    The silver-haired man smiled toward Sunflower Suite and nodded, ''I guess it''s over¡­''


    In his own suite, Silver shook his head, "The next ingredient will be as expensive¡­ I can barely afford it."


    The silver-haired man spread his arms wide and shouted, "Going once, going twice¡­ Sold!"


    Luna held her chest while feeling her pounding heart. A soft smile appeared on her face, "Y-You did it!"


    Isaac heaved a sigh of relief, and a small smile crept up on his face, "Yeah¡­ Now the second one."


    Luna grabbed his hand tightly and, with nervousness, looked toward the stage. Her eyes were slightly getting moistened.


    As the audience tried to calm down their excitement, the 81st item was rolled to the center stage.


    "Time for the 81st item." The silver-haired man lifted off the veil, and another bottle was disyed on the cart. It made NPCs frown because it looked quite simr to the previous object.


    Except, this one was purplish leaves that let out strange sparks of energy toward the audience.


    "This one is Leaves of Dreams, a secret ingredient from the Dream World!" The name made NPCs widen their eyes in shock while the yers were already prepared for it.


    "The starting bid is 1 million!" The starting bid didn''t shock anyone. They were already expecting it.


    However, the following bid made everyone''s skin cold.


    "4 million!" A shout came from the VIP Suite that had been quiet so far. In there was a muscr man with a bushy beard, axe strapped on his back, and wearing a hunter''s outfit.


    A yer''s tag floated above him that was shining with gold!


    [King Arawn]


    "Last ingredient before I have gathered all¡­" He murmured.


    King Arawn was an infamous yer in West Continent. In there, he fought and challenged Lord, Lady, Queen, and King Title owners. He managed to win some but also lost many.


    The most famous battle was his fight against Lord Kalzer, in which he lost in spectacr fashion. He thought that only by a miracle he could be stronger than Kalzer.


    That miracle had been presented in the form of Dream Portion. He believed the rumors blindly and knew by drinking it and visiting the Dream World, he would be strongest!


    Thus, he had been collecting the ingredients and only needed Leaves of Dreams before he had them all!


    The audience turned shocked after the chilling first bid.


    The silver-haired man and every other VIP guest were surprised at the sudden increase in the bid. Thatpletely caught off-guard everyone.


    Silver felt a cold sweat pouring down his back as he shouted, "4.2 million!"


    "4.5 million!" King Arawn immediately countered.


    Silver felt his breath getting stuck in his throat. Then, he shouted through gritted teeth, "4.6 million!"


    "5 million!" King Arawn''s masculine voice shattered all of Silver''s hopes.


    Silver plopped down on the backrest and covered his face with disappointment. His son, Lynch, was utterly shocked that his father lost so severely!


    After a short while, there weren''t any more bids, causing everyone to think it was over.


    The silver-haired man was satisfied at the bid and calmly said, "Going once, going twice¡­"


    Luna stood to stand and thought all her hopes were shattering as the silver-haired man''s lips slowly moved up and down.


    Then, Isaac pressed the button with a powerful look, "5.5 million!"


    Luna whipped her head around and, with cloudy vision, managed to see Isaac''s calm smile. The tiny teardrops trickled down her soft cheeks.


    The audience turned around in shock and remembered the room where the shout came. It came from the same person who won thest bid!


    ''How rich is that person?!'' The yers and NPCs thought. In total, Isaac had bid 10 million!


    King Arawn''s eyebrow jumped, "Interesting¡­ 6 million!"


    "6.1 million!" Isaac''s hand clenched into a fist, and his heart began pounding like it was hitting against a drum.


    Back and forth, the bidding war continued. Each bid caused a veil of coldness to shroud the auction hall. The amount they bid was crazy!


    Luna sat down with a tear-stained face. She didn''t understand why she cried. Perhaps out of happiness or because of frustration. The Winter Illness that had been haunting her for years was finally being fought against.


    If Isaac lost the bid, Winter Illness would win. However, if he won, the Winter Illness would have no other choice than beg for mercy!


    Luna grabbed her chest and closed her teary eyes, ''Isaac will win¡­''


    "7 million!" King Arawn''s shouted with a rough breathing and red eyes.


    Isaac''s mouth closed, and his eyes tightly closed. The auction hall turned silent, and no one dared to even utter a breath.


    King Arawn firmly pressed his hand against the armrest.


    Luna opened her eyes and turned to look at her boyfriend, who was deep in thought. She smiled and loosened her muscles.


    ''I trust him¡­ he is never going to lose¡­''


    ''7.4 million would be my limit¡­ However, I have saved money in the bank, making my limit 8.4 million¡­ Thus, time to end this with a bang.''


    With his handsome smile, Isaac opened his mouth and shouted, "8 million!"

 Chapter 446 Breaking The Chains!

    Chapter 446 Breaking The Chains!


    "What?!"


    The audience''s faces showed various emotions. However, one thing was clear. They were all feeling the sensation of shock.


    King Arawn was in disbelief, "8 million¡­ W-W-Why would someone with such wealth spend so much for a simple ingredient¡­ He could definitely get Hunter''s find one for him, even though it might take several months, but still¡­"


    He plopped down on his couch with a defeated look, "I forfeit¡­ Such crazy people are hidden in the shadows. The ones in public are mere puppets, controlled by the strongest, craziest, and most interesting yers¡­"


    Everyone in their VIP Suites locked their fingers as a signal that they would not counter-bid.


    The audience stayed silent, and the ones seated on the left-handed side had their heads lowered. They truly felt the extent of VIPs'' wealth.


    ''yer Wraith¡­'' The silver-haired man''s smile grew, and he raised his right hand, "Going once, going twice¡­"


    The whole auction hall was silent, and everyone kept their lips tightly shut.


    "Sold!"


    Isaac leaned on the couch with a relieved look, "Thest ingredient¡­ Acquired."


    "Y-You!" Luna''s face moved, and her pink lips mmed into Isaac''s tightly-closed lips. After the short kiss, they separated with equally bright smiles.


    Isaac stood up with the intention to go pay for the items, "Shall we go?"


    He offered his hand, and Luna grabbed it.


    Isaac put his mask on, and Luna hid her face with the witch hood.


    They left the VIP room and saw a door opening not far from them.


    King Arawn stepped out of the room, and his tall figure blocked their path. With a side nce, he saw the white-masked man.


    ''He is the one¡­ I will remember him.'' King Arawn turned around and left with his head high.


    After he left, Isaac and Luna continued walking with their hands locked in lover''s hold. Soon, they reached backstage and saw two bottles on disy.


    "Congrattions." The silver-haired man paused the auction to give the items by himself. With a smile, he took the bottles and gave them to Isaac.


    "Thanks¡­" Isaac replied and ced them on his inventory. Instantly, several notifications rang, but he didn''t check them out yet.


    Instead, he gave the money he owed to the silver-haired man.


    "Thanks for visiting, and we sincerely hope you will return one day." The silver-haired man bowed and returned to the stage. The auction resumed.


    Isaac and Luna shared nces, a tinge of nervousness visible. He then took out the teleportation pearl and whispered, "My bookstore."


    Their bodies vanished into the bright light.


    ¡­


    A bedroom within a dark bookstore was suddenly shrouded in a warm glow. Soon, two figures appeared, and the teleportation pearl on Isaac''s hand shattered.


    "It was thest use¡­" He murmured but didn''t really care.


    After throwing the ss shards away, he saw Luna shaking. She was nervous and fearful of the future. They both knew what they had to do now.


    Isaac pulled out the notifications.


    ¡­


    [Secret Quest Completed!]


    [Ingredients: 5/5]


    [Dream Potion Acquired!]


    ¡­


    Isaac opened the inventory and saw that all the ingredients had disappeared. There was only one ss bottle with purple liquid inside.


    He pulled it out and was shocked at how weightless it truly was. It was like he wasn''t carrying anything. Even the bottle weighed like nothing.


    "Are you ready?" He turned toward Luna.


    Luna''s body shook, ''This is it¡­ I-¡­ I have to do this¡­ it will be myst battle against Winter Illness.''


    She turned her crystal blue eyes toward Isaac and opened her tiny mouth, "I am¡­"


    Isaac popped the bottle''s cork open and handed it over to Luna.


    She handled the bottle very carefully like it was her baby. Then, she opened her mouth and slowly poured the interior into her mouth.


    After she had drank half, she stopped and returned the bottle to Isaac.


    Isaac took it and watched as Luna''s eyes turned purple and was about to fall down!


    He refused to let that happen and dashed next to her, gently holding her around her waist. Then he gentlyid her down on the bed.


    "Good luck¡­" Isaac caressed her soft cheek carefully, moved around the bed, andid next to her.


    Then, he poured the potion''s interior into his mouth. Soon, the bottle was empty, and it shattered.


    Almost immediately, his eyes turned purple with a beautiful glowing from his pupils.


    ¡­


    "Ahh¡­" Isaac gently opened his eyelids and felt something soft touching his back. A violet haze covered the sky. Arge purple cloud covered the sky, like a giant nket.


    He then stood up and saw a vast purple cloud field below him. The clouds were punctuated by trees with extremely tall and wide trunks.


    Mystifying energy surrounded everything, making Isaac more sleepy and sluggish. However, he managed to quickly shrug off that state and managed to see the leaves of the trees.


    "Are those Leaves of Dreams?!" Isaac briskly jumped toward the tree and quickly picked up the leaves before stuffing them inside his inventory. He felt like he had hit a gold mine!


    After storing half of the leaves, he heard a voice.


    "Isaac¡­ Isaac¡­" He frowned and turned to look toward the distance. In there, he saw an outline of an ind appearing.


    Isaac followed after the voice and soon reached the ind with ground made of durable soil and arge forest that seemed to surround the entire ind.


    After stepping into the forest, his eyes widened as he saw the surroundings. He was surrounded by Roots of Dreams, Flower of Dreams, Leaves of Dreams, and Resin of Dreams!


    With an excited look, he picked up them all and continued stuffing them into his inventory. As he moved deeper into the forest while picking up the flowers, he saw a purplish pond.


    His eyes shook with shock, "Oil of Dreams¡­"


    The pond was made of Oil of Dreams!


    Isaac rushed toward it, took a bottle from inventory, and filled it with the Oil. After storing it in his inventory, he heard a voiceing behind him.


    "Isaac¡­"


    He stood up in a hurry and turned around with alert. Then, his eyes widened in shock as he saw Luna dressed in a strange yet beautiful purple-colored onece dress!


    "Luna!" Isaac smiled at first but then frowned. Luna''s eyes were purple, and her scent waspletely different.


    She seemed to be Luna but also wasn''t.


    "Isaac, it''s a pleasure to meet you." Luna stretched her delicate arm forward and smiled softly, "My name is Morpheus, God of Dreams, and this is my Kingdom."

 Chapter 447 God lllness, and Winter lllnessDefeated!

    Chapter 447 God lllness, and Winter lllnessDefeated!


    "Why are you looking like Luna?" Isaac asked with a clear hostile tone.


    "I thought it would make you less wary," Morpheus said in Luna''s voice, which was sweet and calming.


    "It doesn''t¡­ Stop looking like her." Isaac''s face showed anger.


    ''''Apologies if I angered you.'''' Morpheus'' shape immediately changed to a small purple-furred cat, "It wasn''t my intention."


    Isaac sighed and asked, "Why did you call me here?"


    Morpheus smiled in his cat form, "The reason you are here is to break the chains of limitations, right?"


    "That''s right," Isaac replied honestly.


    Morpheus liked his honest attitude and nodded, "Luna, the carrier of Hecate''s Legacy, has a tough journey ahead. Her illness had spread far into her heart, and it is fighting back¡­ The battle would decide whether she will survive."


    "Where is she?" Isaac asked with urgency.


    "She has entered her own journey. It will be tough and challenging, but it''s up to her toplete it. She cannot receive help. Thus her fate willy in her hands."


    "What about me then?" Isaac felt frustration knowing that she might be in danger, but also because he didn''t know what to do.


    "You want to break the chains, and that''s what you should do." Morpheus used the cat''s agility to jump on top of a tree branch, "You have already broken chains, but not the limitations.


    "You broke the chains of your curse, the chains of God Illness."


    "Wait¡­ Isn''t that Adam''s Illness?" Isaac asked and saw the cat''s head bouncing up and down.


    "Correct, and since the dawn of time, he has been the only one with that illness¡­ Until now."


    Morpheus looked at the shining pond and continued, "Adam was born as the image of the Gods.


    "While you were born as the image of Goddesses. If you were born female, you would have been the most beautiful pearl of the universe. Instead, fate is a tricky thing, and you were born male.


    "You gained inhumane beauty and the curse of getting loved too heavily¡­ But, the chains of that curse were broken by your willpower, which was fascinating!


    "However, there is still a shimmer of your curse left inside you. The God Illness is strong and managed to escape, barely. It has embedded itself into your chains of limitations, hiding there like a rat.


    "By breaking the chains fully, the curse would be finally gone, and you would be reborn as the person you were meant to be!"


    "What do I need to do?" Isaac asked and moved further away from the pond. He looked up toward the branch where Morpheus sat.


    "How did you break the chainsst time?" Morpheus asked curiously.


    "I am not sure¡­ It just happened." Everything about his memories seemed cloudy and foggy. Isaac had tried to remember what happened but didn''t remember anything after getting shot.


    ''It seems the God Illness is trying to fight back by making him not remember...''


    "Maybe we should make you remember then." The cat''s mouth curved upward, and a quite unnatural smile appeared. Then, the whole Dream Realm shook.


    Isaac saw everything breaking around him, and soon his vision traveled to hundreds of universes and gxies.


    Then, the surroundings changed, and a hospital appeared out of nowhere. It seemed abandoned and utterly dark.


    The yard was crowded with police vehicles and officers.


    "Eh?" Isaac lifted his head and saw the barrel of a revolver being pointed at his face. His eyes shook as he saw Oliver behind the revolver, grinning madly.


    "Well then,ugh more!" Oliver''s hand was steady, eyes cold, and lips curved downward. A revolver was held within his right hand, then he spun the cylinder around with his right thumb and pushed it inside the revolver.


    Isaac slowly began remembering the scene. Oliver wasughing madly, screaming with a mad look. His friends looked scared.


    "I have five bullets, enough to riddle you with bullet wounds."


    The scene elerated, and Isaac saw himself being shot in the shoulder. He fell to the ground with a pond of blood appearing around him.


    Oliver was stillughing.


    Then, the scene moved further, and Isaac used Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed. The entire floor became slippery, like it was made from ice.


    Everyone began falling down, Oliver identally fired, and the bullet tore through Luke''s thigh.


    Then, Isaac blinked his eyes and was suddenly coughing blood. His vision was very foggy, and he could barely recognize the blood on his shirt.


    ''Right¡­ Is this dream? Or not¡­'' Isaac couldn''t tell what was real and what wasn''t. Then, his heart started slowing down like he was about to die!


    ''Stay awake¡­ awake¡­ awake¡­ AWAKE!'' A certain shout screamed inside his mind and pumped energy into his veins and into his heart. Isaac''s eyes began glowing, and the chains started breaking at an insane rate.


    Inside his body, the God Illness was screaming with rage. The chains showed images of corrupt gods being subdued by the white-haired man''s incredible willpower.


    They whimpered in agony and faded away from existence. The chains cracked like spider webs, and soon they shattered!


    The chains faded away, Isaac''s heart and brain started shining in beautiful golden color, and soon the color seeped into his bones.


    The bones started having engraved symbols, and their color was eternally changed to gold!


    Isaac finally opened his eyes and saw the forest with soil ground and beautiful trees. The hospital was gone.


    His eyes slowly turned white, and he fell unconscious. After his body stopped spasming, Morpheus appeared next to him and smiled, "Good job¡­ now, return to real life¡­ You have been reborn!"


    "Wraith¡­ No, Isaac, you are the first¡­ The first one to lit up the fire within Humanity''s Heart. It will never be forgotten¡­ never¡­"


    Isaac''s body slowly disappeared as his consciousness was transferred back to his real-life body.


    ¡­


    "Isaac? Mom? Dad?" Luna wandered inside the dark hospital with peeled-off walls and dirtied floors. The hospital beds were flipped over, and the light panels shattered.


    Then, a winter storm blew through the hallways, bringing cold and snow.


    "Uhh, cold!" Luna shuddered in the terrifying cold. She looked around with fear and felt her heart pounding like it was about to burst out of her chest.


    Then, a terrifying shout came behind her, "Luna¡­ You can''t get rid of me¡­ I will always be part of you!"


    The snow blew, and from there, a man with a height as tall as the ceiling and made of snow appeared. His fingers were scarily long and teeth sharp like des. His face was monstrous, and the voice creepy.


    "I am Winter Illness¡­ I will always be part of you¡­ Luna¡­ You can''t get rid of me¡­ I will always be with you!" Every word of his caused panic within Luna, and she continued retreating until there was nowhere else to go.


    Winter Illness moved closer and grinned, "Isaac¡­ He is the insect that is trying to steal you from me? No¡­ I will steal your life, extinguish the fire within you¡­"


    Luna fell on his butt, face as pale as the snow around her. The manifestation of her fears was right in front of her, telling all sorts of terrible things.


    "Isaac¡­ he is the host of my friend¡­ God Illness¡­ He will die, and so will you¡­ so, just allow me to take control of your body and give you peaceful death¡­ then, you can spend your afterlife with your boyfriend¡­"


    "No¡­" Luna''s voice was muffled.


    "What?" Winter Illness'' face turned cold, "Did you say no?"


    "YES!" Luna''s scream shattered the windows and pushed Winter Illness a step back, "Get out of my body!"


    "UGH!" Winter Illness was pushed back by arge leap, "Lunaaaaaaaaaaa!"


    Luna pulled out her wand, made of the finest materials. It was the prized treasure of Hecate. She trusted her legacy and her wand with Luna.


    Jumping to her feet, she carried the wand through the air, flicking her wrist and making several magic symbols appear.


    "Hecate''s Magic, The Three Circr, Collision Magic!" As Luna held her wand up in the air, it shone with a brilliant purple glow, cracking the air in front of her.


    A destructive air cannon was unleashed from the cracks in the air and destroyed the whole hallway. The windows shattered, and the ceiling fell apart.


    The Winter Illness shrieked and smashed into the concrete wall across the hallway. As he struggled to break free, another magic spell struck him.


    CRASH!


    ''''LUNAAAAAAAAA!'''' Throughout the Dream Realm, Winter Illness'' scream reverberated as his body was being ripped apart at an rming rate as he was pushed deeper into the soil!


    "Haahh¡­ Hannah¡­" Luna''s beautiful face was drenched in sweat, "Hecate¡­ is giving me strength¡­ Isaac¡­ is¡­ giving¡­ me¡­ strength¡­


    "Time¡­ to end this!"


    Suddenly, Luna began soaring above the ground and flew out of the destroyed window. After that, she soared towards the sky and hovered over the hospital.


    She held the cane above her head and unleashed her final spell, "Luna''s Magic, The Nine Circr, Meteor Magic!"


    A violent ze erupted from the sky, illuminating everything. From space, a ming meteor descended furiously toward the hospital.


    The Winter Illness broke through the ground and saw the terrifying meteor.


    He screamed, "Luna, don''t do this!"


    "This is not your real strength. This is all Dream!"


    "In your Dream, you can do anything you wish. Believe, if you just learn to co-exist with me, I can make you as powerful as this!"


    "It doesn''t have to be a dream when it can be reality!"


    ''''Please, Lunaaaaaaaaaaa!''''


    "Die," Luna said quietly, and the meteor finally crashed into the hospital. The surface cracked, and the Winter Illness melted away with one final scream of mercy. Then, the Dream Realm shattered, and Luna was thrown out of it.


    As her vision turned normal, and she saw the forest surrounding her, a small smile appeared on her face. She fell unconscious. Slowly, her body began disappearing from White Online.


    Shortly afterward, Morpheus appeared in his cat form, a smile visible, "She seeded¡­ Winter Illness had been killed, and it won''t be able to return to the World of Four Seasons ever¡­


    "She didn''t only save herself, but also others suffering from that illness¡­ Now, two had broken the chains, meaning that the endgame is nearing¡­"

 Chapter 448 Reborn lsaac

    Chapter 448 Reborn lsaac


    "Mmh¡­" Isaac sleepily moved his head side-to-side. His forehead furrowed as he looked like he was having a bad dream. Then, his face rxed, and his eyes began slowly opening.


    The first thing he saw was Luna''s beautiful sleeping face. She was motionless with her purple eyes.


    "Ugh¡­" Isaac sat up on the bed and looked at the wires connected to his body. He pulled them out and threw them to the side. When Isaac pressed a button, all the beeping noises that had been produced by the machines suddenly ceased.


    After putting down the VR Helmet, he left the bed and staggered toward the bathroom.


    "Weird¡­ My body feels strange." Isaac shook his head and felt slight leg pain. After entering the bathroom, he turned on the sink''s faucet, then washed his face.


    As he wiped his face with a towel, he nced in the mirror briefly. In an instant, two pairs of silvery eyes gazed back at him.


    As the mirror inverted his movements, Isaac touched his face with disbelief.


    The face in the mirror had a Godly face with well-defined facial features, beautiful silver eyes, and smooth skin like a porcin doll. As the white strands of hair fell to the side, the inhumanly handsome face appeared.


    "W-What¡­" Isaac moved his hand, and the mirror inverted his movement. The man in the mirror was him, but he was much more handsome with an ethereal glow in his eyes.


    He then took a step back, and the rest of his body became visible. The hospital gown only reached his knees, barely. His height also had increased, and it was now 190cm.


    Isaac moved up the gown and trailed his hand across his stomach. He felt his well-toned muscles and abs. His two arms packed with explosive strength and muscles. He didn''t look like a bodybuilder but a professional swimmer.


    "What happened?" Then, words Morpheus uttered echoed in his mind, "Reborn¡­ I have been reborn."


    A wave of strength flooded Isaac''s body as he clenched his fist. He felt like he could smash through concrete walls with a single punch.


    He lifted his chin and looked straight at his reflection. Then, he reeled in his fist and punched!


    His fist stopped an inch before hitting the mirror. However, the air pressure alone shattered the mirror!


    Crack!


    As the ss shards littered the ground, Isaac, with disbelief, turned around.


    Then, his ears perked up as distinct voices came from the direction of the bed. He left the bathroom and saw Luna waking up with drowsy eyes.


    "Luna, are you alright?" Isaac dashed next to her and gently helped her to sit.


    "Hmm? Who?" Luna looked at him with drowsy eyes. The purple glow in her eyes slowly disappeared, and the vision turned clearer.


    Then, she rubbed her eyes and opened them again, "I-Isaac?"


    "H-h-how?" She touched Isaac''s face with clear shock.


    "I don''t know¡­ Haha." Isaac scratched his head. The corners of his lips curved upward as he saw Luna''splexion having more color. She seemed much healthier than before.


    "You look much healthier."


    "I do?" Luna touched her face with a soft smile. Before, she was unusually pale and even looked sickly several times, but it still didn''t diminish her beauty. Now, she seemed very healthy while looking like a beautiful angel.


    "What happened?" Isaac asked as he sat next to her. He grabbed her hand, which didn''t feel as fragile as before. There was strength in Luna''s hand as well. That made him certain¡ªshe managed to break the chains.


    "I¡­ I fought against Winter Illness." Luna said with a relieved smile, "I managed to win, and it is finally gone from my body¡­ I am free and healthy."


    "That''s great¡­ Are you alright?" Isaac still asked, even though he already knew the answer.


    "I am¡­ doing great." She replied with an emotional visage. The years of being riddled with illness made her willpower weak because she knew that, at one point, it was pointless to keep fighting.


    Now, nobody could stop her from living her life as she wanted.


    With a side-nce, she looked at Isaac and thought, ''The way I want to live is with him¡­''


    Isaac''s gaze went past her andnded on the mechanical clock. His smile grew as he said, "Merry Christmas."


    "Eh?" Luna turned to look at the clock, and it was five minutes past midnight.


    "Christmas Eve¡­" She murmured with palpating heart. Then, she turned to look at Isaac with cheeks dyed in pink and an unnatural glow in her eyes.


    A tiny heart''s pupils appeared as she leaned closer and kissed Isaac''s cheek. The sound of her smooch echoed in the room.


    Isaac''s heart pounded as he remembered their promise. With trembling hands, he wrapped his right arm around Luna''s waist and pulled her closer.


    Luna moved and sat on hisp, her two mounds softly touching Isaac''s chest.


    They looked at each other and saw each other''s desire in their eyes.


    "A-are you sure the room is soundproof?" Luna asked shyly.


    "Yes." Isaac nodded, "There is only one soundproof in the hospital, and it''s this "King" Room, only reserved for the most important patients. It seemed that my father was a partner with the hospital and owned 5% of the shares."


    "This is the¡­ King room?" Luna was happily surprised, but still, she shyly asked, "S-S-Should we test? L-Like, I go outside, and you shout, and I will tell if I hear anything."


    "Haha." Isaac covered his mouth as he identallyughed.


    Luna pouted with an adorable look, "Why are youughing?"


    "Nah¡­" Isaac waved his hand and pulled Luna closer, "You are just adorable. No need to worry, I have stayed in this room too many times, and I have even sted music, but no one ever heard a thing."


    "A-Alright¡­" Luna tried to calm down her heart but wasn''t sessful.


    Isaac leaned closer and shared another passionate kiss with Luna. Their arms passionately moved around each other''s backs, pulling each other tighter into a hug.


    "D-Do it¡­" Luna whispered with cheeks dyed in pink. She couldn''t wait any longer as she began to yearn for him.

 Chapter 449 R-18

    Chapter 449 R-18


    Isaac touched the helm of Luna''s shirt and pulled it off. After he removed the shirt, Luna still wore the t-shirt, hiding the bra.


    Despite her shyness, Isaac grabbed the shirt and gently removed it. After Isaac tossed the shirt away, her blue bra with flower patterns was thest fabric left.


    Luna shyly crossed her arms, hiding the bra behind her arms.


    After nting a soft kiss on her lips, Isaac moved his hands behind her back. He unhooked the sp and slid the bra over her shoulder.


    Luna closed her eyes with her whole body quivering. Suddenly, she sucked her lip and moved her arms sideways, revealing two soft mounds.


    Isaac slightly gazed down and saw the two soft mounds. They were bigger than he expected, with erect pink nipples.


    ''D-Size, maybe?''


    Luna hugged him tightly, rubbing the two soft mounds against his chest. Then, she began raining kisses around Isaac''s cheeks, neck, and corbone.


    Her cheeks flushed deeper pink as she felt a hard thing poking underneath her. As soon as she felt it, she knew what it was and felt a tingle spreading throughout the area of her maidenhood.


    Isaac grabbed her shoulders and gentlyid her on the bed. Then, she took off her pants and dryly gulped as he saw Luna lying only with the panties.


    She tried to cover her privates, which made the scene even more captivating. Against the dim light of the moon, Luna shone as brightly as a goddess, and it was as if she had transformed into an angel.


    Isaac smiled and kissed her stomach, which earned a soft giggle from Luna. Her body rxed, and that allowed him to slide the panties off.


    After he tossed them away, Luna was lying bare naked. Isaac could finally see the depths of her beauty.


    The skin was smooth and hairless. Her curves were not overly crazy, but in her unique way, her figure was perfect for her size. A perfect amount of flesh covered her thighs, making her look alluring and sexy.


    Isaac tore his gaze off her body and saw Luna biting her lip with embarrassment. She was smiling but also blushing.


    As she moved around to find a less embarrassing position, Isaac began taking off the hospital gown.


    Luna stopped moving and watched as Isaac took off his hospital gown and revealed his well-toned athletic body.


    Her breath stopped momentarily, and her desire overcame the embarrassment. She slowly loosened her legs and moved her arms out of the way.


    Sheid with arms on the side, legs slightly open, and fingers slightly grabbing the nket.


    Isaac leaned closer and guided his manhood closer to her shaved maidenhood. As the tip slightly touched the entrance, Luna spasmed in instant pleasure and had to cover her mouth before the moans slipped out.


    "Are you ready?" Isaac asked with rough breathing. He had to use all his willpower not to insert it immediately and pluck his and his girlfriend''s virginity in one go.


    "Y-Yes¡­ p-please, be gentle." She hid her face and began waiting with anticipation.


    "Whoo¡­" Isaac took a deep breath and moved his hips forward. The tip of his manhood finally entered through the entrance, and he immediately felt something soft wrapping around his manhood tightly.


    ''Tight!'' He gritted his teeth and had to use more strength to push his manhood deeper.


    "Mmmh¡­" Luna bit her lip and felt something hard moving inside her. It felt strangely pleasurable.


    Then, Isaac reached a wall, and he knew immediately what it was.


    ''Hymen¡­'' With a pounding heart, Isaac did one final thrust of his hips, broke through the hymen, and reached the end of the cave.


    "Ah!" Luna''s eyes widened in shock, and a loud moan escaped her mouth, "Ahhh¡­"


    Drips of blood trickled down her maidenhood. Isaac had officially plucked her virginity.


    Then Isaac shifted his hips a little backward before thrusting again, gripping the nket tightly.


    "AHH!" Luna stopped trying to muffle her moans and felt a tinge of pain but also pleasure.


    The pleasure was slowly numbing her pain.


    Pah! Pah! Pah!


    Isaac grabbed her hips and began slowly thrusting. As his hips collided with her soft buttocks, the sound of flesh getting smacked reverberated in the room.


    "Haahh¡­ Haahhh¡­ Haaahh¡­" Luna''s breasts bounced up and down as she let out heavenly moans that tickled Isaac''s ears. Slowly, a smile reached her face as the pleasure overcame the pain.


    She only felt Isaac''s warmth and the endless waves of pleasure that shrouded her mind.


    Isaac moved his head and savored the taste of Luna''s lips. After the lips separated, Isaac''s manly grunts and Luna''s moans intertwined.


    If the door were even slightly ajar, everyone in the hospital would know what was happening.


    "Ahh¡­ Ahh¡­ Isaac~" Luna began shouting Isaac''s name as his thrusts became even faster.


    "Haah¡­" Isaac grunted in pleasure and started thrusting even faster. As Luna''s warm maidenhood wrapped tightly around his manhood, he could feel the climax nearing.


    Isaac could already feel his legs turning jelly as something was trying toe out like endless raging waves.


    "Luna¡­ I-It''sing!" Isaac gritted his teeth and uttered his words.


    Luna wrapped her legs around his waist and embraced him tightly. The two warm bodies began sharing heat while his two soft mounds moved up and down around Isaac''s chest.


    "L-Luna?" Isaac gritted his teeth and couldn''t hold any longer.


    "D-Do it¡­ It''s my safe day¡­" She moaned louder and could feel Isaac thrusting harder and faster.


    Pah! Pah! Pah!


    Isaac tightly grabbed her waist, pulled his hips backward, and did one final thrust. As the tip of his manhood collided with the end of the tunnel, his legs began trembling as a white liquid spurted out.


    Spurt!


    "Ah!" Luna''s eyes opened wide open, and her legs trembled. A ray of water flowed from her maidenhood, wetting the bed in her love juices.


    With a pleasurable expression, she experienced a warm liquid spreading around her maidenhood. It was warm and surprisinglyforting.


    "Haahh¡­" Isaac slowly pulled out his manhood and lowered his gaze to look at Luna''s maidenhood. A mix of blood and semen poured down and stained the bed''s nket.


    With a sweaty body, hey next to her and tried to catch his breath, "Haahh¡­ Haah¡­"


    Luna moved to the side and hugged Isaac''s body tightly.


    "I am so happy¡­" She muttered with tears brimming down.


    Isaac looked at her with surprise before his eyes turned gentle. He patted her head and pulled her closer.


    "Me too¡­"

 Chapter 450 Magic in Real Life

    Chapter 450 Magic in Real Life


    After the morning dawned, the bright hallways had mixed sounds of footsteps and doors opening.


    Knock, knock!


    Outside the King Suite, a loud knocking sound echoed. Isabe banged her fist against the locked door while Maxwell and Marvin stood behind her, whispering.


    "Isaac?" Isabe frowned. The locker door stopped her from entering the room, "Are you sleeping?"


    Inside the King Suite.


    "Mmh?" Isaac drowsily woke up with a warm and sweaty body. He felt the bed sheet clinging to his body and heard the loud knocking reverberating across the room.


    Then, he heard his mother''s voice shouting his name. Immediately his eyes mmed open, and pair of silvery eyes gazed at the white ceiling.


    He turned to the right and saw naked Luna hugging him tightly while still sleeping. She had a small smile while breathing calmly in and out.


    Isaac''s face showed panic as he moved the nket out of the way and saw the state of the hospital room. Their clothes littered the floor, and a strange liquid stained the bedsheet and nket. Everyone would know what happened here.


    Knock, knock!


    Isaac touched Luna''s shoulder and tried to shake her awake. Slowly, her eyelids fluttered, and she opened her crystal blue eyes.


    "Isaac..?" She muttered sleepily and smiled weakly, "I am sleepy¡­"


    "My parents are here!" Isaac shout-whispered, and that caused Luna to sit up in a hurry with panic shing across her face. As she saw the state of the room, she blushed and heard the knocking.


    "Clean the room while I dy them," Isaac said and jumped off the bed. His ck bag was on top of the small chair, delivered by Marvin. He opened it and took out his clothes.


    Luna clumsily put her clothes on. As she slid her panties back on, she felt slight sorenessing from her maidenhood.


    She shyly looked toward Isaac, who had already put his shirt on. She then shook her head and quickly put her bra, pants, t-shirt, and blouse on.


    Isaac tried to act casually as he strolled toward the room''s door.


    Luna immediately began tidying up with a panicked look.


    Creak¡­


    Isaac opened the door slightly and peeked his head out. He saw Isabe, Marvin, and Maxwell standing in the hallway while people were walking by, walking towards their destination.


    "I-Isaac?" Isabe rubbed her eyes and opened them again. Her son still looked slightly simr but way more manly, with slight changes in his facial features.


    The white hair was still the same, but the arms hidden underneath the sleeves seemedrger and more powerful.


    Maxwell''s and Marvin''s eyes almost popped out.


    As Isaac straightened his back and stood tall, he was easily taller than Isabe, also taller than Maxwell, but at equal height with Marvin.


    "Yes, mom?" Isaac acted casually while hearing the sound of nkets shuffling behind him.


    "W-What happened to you?" Isabe pulled Isaac out of the room and looked at him thoroughly.


    "Bro¡­ What the fuck?" Marvin looked at his "little brother" with a shocked gaze. Now, Isaac almost looked like his big brother with a well-toned body and a confident aura.


    "¡­" Maxwell stayed silent with narrowed eyes. He held his chin with his right hand and pondered silently.


    "I am not sure¡­ I woke up looking like this." Isaac smiled as he moved his arm around. He still hadn''t gotten used to his body and the explosive strength hidden inside him.


    Last night, he couldn''t control his strength at all. dly, Luna''s body was durable, as durable as his, and she couldn''t feel any pain from his rough touching, which made him relieved.


    "Let''s visit Richard, just in case," Isabe said while touching Isaac''s arm. She was shocked at how different her son was after one night.


    "Sure." Isaac nodded.


    Isabe nodded and tried to open the hospital door but got denied by Isaac.


    "Hmm? Why won''t you let us inside?"


    "Umm¡­ Luna is sleeping, and I don''t think it''s a good idea to wake her up." Isaac''s mouth twitched while his heart pounded.


    "I can hear sounding from there. She must have woken up." With force, Isabe opened the door and was about to step inside.


    Luna heard the door opening. Her face flushed with panic because the nket clearly showed that something unholy had happened here.


    As her heart pounded rapidly, a small item appeared out of thin air andnded on the nket.


    "Eh?" Luna wrapped her fingers around the small item and looked at it closely with a shocked look, "It''s¡­ my wand?"


    The silver-iid wand was on her hand, fitting her hand perfectly.


    ''I thought about cleaning faster, and immediately the wand appeared¡­ Can I use my magic in real life?''


    She gulped and then heard the footsteps growing closer.


    Luna waved her wand with panic and murmured, "Hecate''s Magic, The One Circr, Cleaning Magic!"


    The tip of the silver-iid wand shone brilliantly.


    ¡­


    "Why are you trying to stop me?" Isabe asked with a suspicious gaze as Isaac walked in front of her.


    "Shouldn''t we visit Richard?" Isaac asked with a twitching mouth while trying to stop his family but to no avail.


    Isabe peeked toward the hospital bed, then saw Luna sitting on a chair, smiling, "See, she is awake."


    "Eh?" Isaac turned around and saw the clean bed and the room. There was a tidy drape of a nket over the bed, and the fresh scent of flowers wafted into their noses.


    "Good morning, mother-inw." Luna smiled beautifully.


    "Heh, mother-inw." Isabe felt slightly pleased and smiled at the beautiful girl, "Luna, did you sleep well?"


    "Yes, I did."


    "Good." Isabe then looked at Isaac and said, "Let''s go meet up with Richard."


    Isaac nodded.


    They all left the room, including Luna.


    As they walked in the crowded hallways, Marvin walked closer to Isaac and grinned, "Had a wild night?"


    Isaac''s heart stopped for a second before he cleared his throat and asked, "Ahem, what do you mean?"


    "Bro, I can smell it clearly. While mom and dadpletely missed it, I can smell the scent of sex within you."


    He then pointed behind him, "Also, Luna had been blushing since the moment we arrived. Her gaze hadn''t left you, meaning she was still embarrassed about something."


    Isaac sighed and scratched the back of his head.


    "Please tell me you used protection." Marvin sped his hands together and almost prayed.


    "No¡­" Isaac wryly smiled.


    "What?!" Marvin''s sudden shout caused Isabe to turn around with a frown. He innocently waved and turned back to look at Isaac.


    "It was her safe day," Isaac replied with a shrug of his shoulders.


    "Bro, are you dumb or what? She could have lied!"


    "No, Luna wouldn''t." Isaac looked at his pale-faced brother and said with certainty.


    "How do you know? I have seen the way she looks at you, and I am sure she would do anything to make you two closer."


    "She didn''t lie. I trust her." Isaac patted his brother''s shoulder, "Trust her."


    "Alright... But damn." Marvin felt strange when he turned to look at his brother without having to lower his gaze. As Isaac''s height had now equaled his, he could keep his head straight.

 Chapter 451 Test Results

    Chapter 451 Test Results


    Isabe greeted Richard with a gentle hug as soon as she opened the door to his office. A slight seriousness appeared on Maxwell''s face as he began speaking with Richard about Isaac.


    After that, Isaac, Marvin, and Luna entered.


    Richard''s eyes almost bulged as he saw Isaac, "Isaac?!"


    "Good morning." Isaac smiled and was immediately seated on a chair. A series of tests were conducted by Richard, still asking what had happened.


    Isaac circled around bushes, saying he didn''t know, and everyone except Luna seemed to believe him.


    Luna already knew what had happened inside Isaac. She heard about God Illness from Morpheus and was shocked that her boyfriend also had an illness as serious as hers. That made her feel closer to him because both had deadly illnesses.


    After half an hour, Richard had the test results and went through them all. His facial expressions went from shock to awe and finally disbelief.


    "Is everything alright?" Isabe asked while holding Isaac''s hand.


    Richard turned around in his chair and locked his fingers, "His muscle density is at least five times higher than before. His vitality is also frighteningly high. His cells behave strangely within him, so it was hard to tell without more testing."


    "The explosive rise of 10 cm was also somewhat puzzling. An x-ray may exin it better, but I did not take one. Perhaps, Isaac should visit the hospital next week.''''


    "For now, I am certain he is healthier than ever before."


    "What caused this?" Isabe asked worriedly.


    "I honestly have no idea." Richard shook his head, and since he started his medical profession, he had never encountered an incident like this.


    "Is it dangerous?"


    "As far as I can see, Isaac is healthy, very healthy. His vitality is at a crazy level, and looking at the test results¡ªI don''t think he would even get a fever."


    Isabe sighed in relief.


    "Can you check mine?" Luna then spoke next to Isaac. She still felt slightly nervous, but now was the best time to check whether her illness was truly gone.


    Isabe and Maxwell looked sadly at her and knew about her terrifying illness.


    "Alright." Richard nodded and did the same tests.


    After half an hour of waiting, Richard sprung to his feet with clear shock.


    "I-It''s not possible¡­"


    "What is it?" Isabe asked in a hurry. She thought that something bad had happened.


    Luna''s fingers clenched tightly as she stared nervously ahead.


    Isaac rapped his finger against his thigh.


    "Luna''s¡­ Winter Illness is gone!" Richard held his face with disbelief. He had tried to find ways to cure the illness for years but failed. With a far-fetched theory, he tried to find a cure from White Online and had close to finding out where Fountain of Life was.


    Isabe, Maxwell, and Marvin looked shocked. They asked questions and couldn''t believe it!


    Since the dawn of time, no one had survived the deadly Winter Illness!


    Luna smiled softly and held her chest, feeling the pounding heart.


    "First Isaac, then Luna¡­" Maxwell murmured.


    Richard re-checked the tests while Isabe stood next to him. Then, he concluded and chuckled.


    "The illness is truly gone like it was never there. Luna also has levels of vitality equal to Isaac. She might even survive a car crash with a few minor scratches¡­ This is insane."


    "But, is everything alright?" Isabe asked.


    "Yes, everything is perfect." Richard spun around and handed several papers to Luna, "Show these to your parents. It will show the test results."


    "Thanks." Luna epted the papers with a smile. She turned to look at Isaac with a bright smile.


    Isaac nodded at her, and they left the hospital room with beating hearts.


    Isabe, Marvin, and Maxwell still stayed behind. They checked Isaac''s test results and couldn''t believe their eyes.


    After Isaac and Luna returned to the King Suite, they packed their things and met up with others in the hallway.


    Isabe was still unsure whether Isaac should leave. He woke up from aa only yesterday. However, Isaac managed to convince her that he was in perfect health.


    Isaac didn''t want to stay Christmas Eve in the hospital.


    They left the hospital and entered Maxwell''s car. Soon, the engine roared, and they began driving on the smooth roads.


    Isabe turned her head halfway over and asked, "Luna, do you want us to take you to your home?"


    "No thanks. I n to spend Christmas Eve with Isaac." Luna replied with a smile while holding Isaac''s hand. She curiously looked out of the window at the Christmas decorations.


    Soon, the car reached the neighborhood, and Maxwell carefully turned the steering wheel as they entered the yard of Whitelock Residence.


    Once the engine died, they left the car and entered the mansion.


    Instantly, Alice, Sophia, and Mark came from the living room. They were shocked that Isaac had left the hospital so early and was even more shocked to see him in the flesh!


    "What?!" Alice and Sophia shouted in unison. Their bright eyes showed a reflection of tall Isaac.


    Mark''s mouth was wide open, "T-Tall¡­"


    "What happened?" Alice asked her mother.


    Isabe shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. She also wanted to know, but it was almost impossible to know.


    "Alright, the questions can wait for tonight." Maxwell managed to end the questions and cleared up the room. Everyone went to the living room or kitchen. There was a scent of Christmas food wafting across the mansion.


    Isaac and Luna went straight toward his room.


    "Ah¡­" Isaac plopped down on the bed with an exhausted look. He dropped the bag to the ground and enjoyed the soft bed underneath him.


    Luna smiled and looked around the room with a curious gaze. It was her first time visiting his room, and she was surprised by how luxurious it was.


    "Want to take a shower?" Suddenly, Isaac raised his head and asked.


    Luna''s cheeks immediately changed colors to pink, "W-W-What¡­"


    "The clothes feel quite unpleasant because of all that¡­ Sweating, so I thought of taking a shower. Want toe?" Isaac took off his shirt and walked toward the bathroom. After opening the door, he turned to look at Luna.


    Luna shyly bit her lip and nodded. She walked past Isaac, gave a quick peck on his cheek, and entered the bathroom amid a giggle.


    Isaac took off his clothes and entered the shower.


    For the next half an hour, there was the sound of water pouring against the tiled floor, and as the door opened, Isaac, and Luna left the room with towels hugging their bodies, and cheeks dyed pink.

 Chapter 452 Christmas

    Chapter 452 Christmas


    "Something strange happened to me in hospital," Luna said as she sat on thefy bed. The pillows supported her back as she leaned against them.


    "Yes?" Isaac had to fetch new pair of clothes from Marvin and returned after receiving them. He put the new garments on and sat next to Luna.


    "I think¡­" Luna held her hand up and said, "We can use our abilities in real-life."


    "What?!" Isaac''s shock was clear in his tone.


    "Wand, appear." Luna squinted her eyes, and suddenly a thin objectnded on her palm. It was a silver-iid wand with a wooden handle.


    Isaac''s eyes bulged as he saw Luna holding her wand.


    "Hecate''s Magic, The One Circr, Dry Magic!" Luna waved the wand and then aimed at her smooth leg. Instantly her leg dried up from the waterdrops.


    "Hehe." She smugly smiled and held her chest up.


    Isaac stretched his hand forward and gritted his teeth, "Mosin-Nagant¡­ Appear!"


    As the wind slowly blew, a long weapon appeared out of thin air andnded on Isaac''s palm.


    "Haha!" Isaac held his sniper rifle in a tight grip and spun it slowly. Then, he aimed it toward the door and murmured softly, "Icy Shot¡­"


    Bam!


    A tiny icy bullet left the barrel and smashed against the wooden door. Instantly a thin iceyer covered the wooden door.


    "Wow!" Luna and Isaac exchanged nces andughed with disbelief.


    After ten minutes of ying around with their abilities, they leaned against the bed''s wooden frame and breathed calmly.


    Then, Isaac turned to look at his girlfriend and asked, "Do you want to go somewhere?"


    "Where?" Luna asked, ncing at him with a soft smile.


    "A secret¡­" Isaac jumped off the bed and offered his hand to Luna. She gently grabbed his hand and stood up.


    Before leaving, Isaac lent some of his clothes to Luna. There were slightly older clothes in his wardrobe that fit her petite figure nicely.


    Then, they left the Whitelock Residence.


    With hands locked, they walked in the crowded streets. The Christmas decorations adorned the stores, building walls, and indoors.


    The TV showed Christmas shows and disyed holiday songs.


    Amid the cheerful atmosphere, Isaac and Luna reached the Heart of Snowstar and arrived in the yard of the High School.


    It was also bustling with parents and children visiting the school''s buildings. But, there was also arge number of people going to the backyard, where the Temple of Confessions was.


    Luna followed Isaac toward theke, and soon they saw couples skating amidughter on the crystal clearke.


    There were several hundred benches littered around theke, and there were adult couples, elderly couples, and even high school couples spending time with their lovers.


    Luna''s eyes sparkled as Isaac led her to one of the wooden benches. She got seated with him, and they enjoyed the calm atmosphere.


    "I always wanted toe here with someone¡­" Isaac said and held Luna''s soft and warm hand. His eyes reflected the scene of couples skating, and he felt rather emotional.


    Luna smiled softly and rested her head on his chiseled shoulder.


    It didn''t take long for others to notice their presence. Their inhuman beauty blinded many, and many felt like the white-haired man looked familiar.


    "Isaac?" Suddenly, a shy voice came behind them.


    Isaac and Luna turned around and saw a group of young women with several young men strolling toward them. In the middle of the group was Julia, her hair styled in a ponytail, showing her attractive features.


    "Julia." Isaac''s smile grew, "I didn''t expect you to recognize me."


    "Well¡­ Wow." Julia''s cheeks got pink as she looked at smiling Isaac, "You¡­ look different¡­"


    Luna narrowed her eyes and saw every young woman in the group blushing with fervent gazes. The young men looked incredibly jealous but also felt like lightning struck them once they saw Luna.


    Her beauty got multiplied after the Winter Illness got removed. It wasn''t only physical but also mental.


    "Who is¡­ this?" Julia asked after seeing Luna first time. Her eyes narrowed slightly.


    "Hello." Luna smiled and hugged Isaac behind, "I am Isaac''s girlfriend. Nice to meet you!"


    Julia''s eyes shook, and the name Isaac reverberated in the ears of everyone present. They turned their heads toward the white-haired man and felt shock running through their bodies.


    Now, they could see the familiarity between old Isaac and the new one.


    Several Cult of White members were present and felt the most shocked. As they saw Isaac being safe, they felt a rush of happiness, but then they saw Luna, and their eyes turned red out of envy.


    "This is my Luna." Isaac introduced her and slowly stood up alongside her, "It was nice seeing you, but it''s time to return home."


    He checked his wristwatch only a moment ago, and the time was nearing dinner time.


    "A-Ah¡­ Merry Christmas!" Julia bowed and returned to her friend group, standing still like frozen popsicles.


    Luna grabbed Isaac''s hand, and they strolled away amid hundreds of gazes. As their backs grew more distant, loud whispers echoed throughout the yard.


    ¡­


    Half an hourter, Isaac and Luna entered the Whitelock Mansion.


    They took off their shoe boots and jackets. Then, they held each other''s hands and walked toward the living room.


    To their utmost surprise, a muchrger crowd was waiting for them.


    Luna''s parents immediately stood up, both having slight redness around the rims of their eyes. Then, there were Isaac''s grandparents, sipping coffee while a slightly awkward atmosphere was present.


    "L-Luna¡­" Mariah, Luna''s mother, held her daughter''s hands and asked with teary eyes, "I-Is it true¡­ Is the illness gone? Truly gone?"


    Luna smiled and nodded, "Yup! But where did you learn about it?"


    "R-Richard called us and told us about it¡­" Sin held Mariah''s trembling shoulder and said emotionally. The whole day had been a rush of emotions, that peaked after the phone call.


    "I-Isaac?" Malcolm and Madison stood up with shock on their faces. They couldn''t believe their eyes when they saw Isaac entering the mansion and thought he was someone else.


    "Yeah¡­" Isaac wryly smiled and then asked, "I thought you two didn''t get along with my parents? Howe you are here?"


    "Our son has allowed us to stay here since we arrived¡­" Madison replied with a gentle smile.

    Chpater 453 Arthur''s Announcement


    Soon, it was time for Christmas Dinner. Everyone gathered around arge wooden table with several dozen tes neatly ced on top.


    After the food arrived, the sound of forks nging against the te reverberated in the dining room.


    Alice intentionally sat next to Luna, whispering to her about girl stuff. Luna listened closely while putting tiny pieces of turkey into her mouth.


    Mariah and Isabe talked with each other.


    "Bro." Marvin lowered his voice as he leaned toward Isaac.


    Isaac was quietly eating until he got interrupted by his big brother.


    "Yes?" His eyebrow rose as he turned around to look at Marvin.


    "There is one girl in Lionel''s dojo. Have you met her? Her name is Ava."


    "Yeah, I know her," Isaac replied.


    Marvin nodded and smirked, "One day, we went to visit Lionel in his dojo. Then, she came with a long wooden stick in her hand, trying to throw us out of the dojo. It was hrious."


    "And?" Isaac''s mouth twitched.


    "She was saying things like we are a bad influence on Lionel. We almost died ofughter, and then Lionel came and "saved" us." Marvin snickered like a child.


    "Then, Ava became super embarrassed after we said everything she said to us to Lionel.


    "We thought Lionel would join us andugh, but surprisingly he only awkwardly scratched his head. It was bizarre, and then we learned that he is dating her!"


    Isaac''s mouth opened in shock, "Really? I thought they were only good friends."


    "Apparently, their romance blossomed during December or some shit like that, and now Lionel doesn''t even join us when we beat up some random gangs. What a simp."


    "Beat up?" Isabe''s cold voice came next to Marvin. He forgot that she was sitting beside him and forgot to keep his volume down.


    Marvin''s tightly shut his lips and continued eating in silence while feeling the sharp gaze of his mother.


    Isaac''s lips curved upward and continued eating.


    Soon, everyone finished their dinner, and they left the dining table.


    Marvin and Isaac plopped down on the living room''s couch. As they watched the TV, Luna was dragged away by Alice.


    Sophia continued talking with her grandmother, Madison. They surprisingly had a lot of things inmon.


    The young Mark talked with Malcolm, surprisingly curious about Malcolm''s scars.


    He had received several scars from his hunting trips, which were surprisingly interesting, ording to Mark.


    Malcolm told him stories about the scars with a calm smile. Each scar had its own unique story.


    Isabe and Maxwell took care of the dishes.


    While Isaac and Marvin talked, the TV screen suddenly brightened, and the Breaking News text popped up. It caught the attention of everyone in the living room.


    The TV screen showed Arthur Welhenheim, the Creator of White Online surprisingly, sitting in his office with a solemn look.


    [Arthur''s Surprise Christmas Announcement - White Online Rted?!]


    Luna and Alice returned from upstairs and walked toward the living room because everyone had gathered there.


    ¡­


    Arthur saw that the red light hade up. He quickly gathered his thoughts and calmed down his pounding heart.


    Then, his mouth slowly opened, "Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas."


    Arthur looked straight at the camera lens. He was sitting in the middle of his dimly lit office, alone. The whole Legacy Company was empty, except for Emilia, who was brewing coffee with a carefree attitude.


    However, then, she received a notification on her phone. After taking a look, her eyes shook as they talked about Arthur''s surprise announcement. She opened the live news and watched as Arthur talked.


    "It has been over two months since White Online''s release, and the world has changed drastically." Arthur''s words were calm and brought a sense of serenity.


    "I always knew that White Online would change the world, even twenty years ago when I first started nning about the game. There had been ups and downs. Several investors and sponsors betrayed me, leaving me alone, but I never stopped.


    "After I finished creating the first yable version of White Online, I went to talk with the biggest families in the world.


    "They all gave me simr reactions: disdain and distrust.


    "No one believed in my creation, but then, I showed them that it isn''t only a game. It''s much more!


    "With several top families, I visited the Moon. During the trip, they thought it was a waste of time and was nning a thousand ways of ending my career.


    "However, after we reached the moon, everything changed because we met with Gods, the true White Online Gods.


    "I know¡­ It must be crazy talking about as if they are real¡­" Arthur chuckled and took a deep breath before revealing, "But, they are real¡­ World of White is real!"


    His voice echoed in the room, and he knew his words would get treated as crazy talk. Thus, he continued quickly.


    "I know, sounds crazy, but it''s true, and this is¡­ The proof!" Arthur extended his hand, and a bright golden me flickered on his palm, "Fellow Knight yers must know what this is¡­ The me of Knighthood¡ªonly avable in White Online.


    "Then, how can I use it in real life?" Arthur spun the golden me around and smiled, "Most of you think that I am actually inside the game and that this whole room is actually a decoy."


    "However¡­ Is this fake?" Arthur pulled out a knife from the drawer and did a linear cut on his palm. He showed his bleeding palm to the camera, and the blood was dark red!


    "The White Online is real! It''s another world, and twenty years ago, I got contacted by Gaia, The Primordial Goddess. She told me to make this game and save humanity!


    "The Gods, the air you guys breathe in, and even the so-called NPCs are real!"


    Arthur breathed deeply and said with a softer tone, "Then, there are questions: why can''t I use my abilities in real life?"


    "It''s simple¡­ There are three steps to be able to use in real-life: The first is to have Mythical VR Helmet, the second is Legacy, and the third is to break chains¡­


    "What chains? From tomorrow onward, there will be a written guide in the game, telling every step to breaking the chains. But, it isn''t possible without Mythical VR Helmet and Legacy."


    "Thus¡­ Goodbye for now, and wait for my present." Arthur covered the lens with his bloody palm and shut off the camera

 Chapter 454 Arthur Pendragon

    Chapter 454 Arthur Pendragon


    The World was in an uproar.


    The Inte was so busy that it was a miracle that it didn''t break. There were several emotions disyed: shock, awe, and distrust.


    Many couldn''t believe Arthur''s words¡ªit seemed unreal. But then, Legacy Carriers came to light, telling about their experiences.


    Many had a slight change in physique, some that could be considered supernatural. That gave more credibility to Arthur''s words.


    Then, people started outraging for not being able to receive Mythical VR Helmet. A rumor surfaced that only the wealthy ones received one.


    While the Inte was almost in mes, millions of people tried to use their abilities, but to no avail. They turned their gazes back to White Online, and the importance of the Legacies became explosive.


    But still, they mulled over not being able to have Mythical VR Helmets.


    The streets of every city were crowded with people rioting and protesting. The wealthy families were under fire, and the pressure of the public was influencing them heavily.


    The calm Christmas became the changing point of history.


    The Whitelock Residence was silent. They were sitting silently in the living room.


    "H-He must be joking, right?" Mariah said with a shaky tone. She could see the shock on everyone''s faces.


    "No¡­ It''s true." Maxwell said and turned to look at his children, ''It has begun¡­ Arthur, I hope you know what you are doing.''


    ¡­


    While the World was in chaos, Arthur left his office with a relieved look. As he turned around, he saw Emilia running toward him with a shocked look.


    "A-Arthur!" She cried out and held her knees as she tried to catch her breath, "Board of Directors areing here! They are already in the front lounge!"


    "Alright¡­ Go home, Emilia." Arthur walked past her, patting her shoulder, "Go spend Christmas with your parents."


    "B-But!" Emilia gulped with unwillingness. She knew the Board of Directors would force Arthur out of thepany. He basicallymitted treason for telling the truth to everyone.


    "Go," Arthur said calmly and entered the room with thousand monitors.


    Emilia bit her lip, "Alright¡­ be careful¡­" She turned around and left with a few teardropsnding on the floor.


    Arthur stopped in the middle of the room with his eyes closed, then he said, "Command 1-578-5."


    Beep! Beep!


    The screens turned red, and Arthur opened his eyes. His eyes got drawn to the monitors that told him to reconsider before giving the order.


    He didn''t hesitate as he said, "Commence the Operation."


    The screens turned ck. Only several secondster, the whole Legacy Company building trembled alongside the whole White Paradise!


    The ground opened in therge snowfield outside the White Paradise, and the snow poured into the hole. Then, hundreds of millions of drones flew out of the underground and straight toward the cloudless sky.


    Every drone was carrying a box filled with Mythical VR Helmets. In total, there were over twenty billion helmets!


    Inside the room with thousand monitors, Arthur heaved a sigh of relief.


    "This shall my present to everyone¡­ Mythical Helmets were always meant to be shared with humanity. It didn''t matter was someone poor or rich, every one shall receive at least one."


    He pulled out a chair and sat on it.


    Arthur closed his eyes and crossed his arms. He began waiting for the appearance of the Board of Directors. He could already hear the sound of foot thumping against the tiled floors.


    SLAM!


    With no change in his expression, Arthur opened his eyes and saw over a dozen well-dressed men and women running into the room with red faces. They were angry and showed signs of bloodlust.


    "Arthur!!!!" An elderly man shouted with rage as he mmed his cane against the floor, "How could you do this?!"


    "Arthur, after all we have done for you¡­ you decided to throw everything away?!" A woman in her 50s said with a painful gaze.


    "The investors won''t let this go¡­ They will kill you!"


    "Stop the drones, and tell everyone that it was a prank you created while being drunk. Then, leave thepany of your own will, and go hiding. That is the only way you can survive."


    Arthur looked at the angry Board of Directors and smiled, "This is mypany¡­"


    The Board of Directors looked even angrier and started pointing at him. However, before they could let out another word, Arthur continued.


    "Not yours¡­" He pointed at the elderly man.


    "Not yours." He pointed at the middle-aged woman.


    "And definitely not yours." Arthur then pointed at the well-dressed middle-aged man, who told him to resign from thepany.


    "You fool!" They screamed in rage, "You have ruined us all!"


    "This is mypany!" Arthur screamed and stood up. His aura alone forced the Board of Directors to take a step back.


    "This is mypany, and I can do whatever I fucking want with my property!" Arthur showed his fist that had suddenly engulfed in a golden me!


    The Board of Directors gulped and said, "You think this will be over? You are dead¡­ The investors won''t take this lucky, and you would be lucky if you survived next night, let alone till next year!"


    Arthur stretched his hand forward, and a sword with a long hilt and curved de appeared in his right hand. The golden me engulfed the entire de and made the whole room dangerously hot.


    The Board of Directors paled and stepped closer to the door, "S-Since when¡­ Since when did you get Legacy and break the chains?"


    "I know you all gave a slight edge to your children." Arthur snorted, "You tried to give them Legacy and help to break chains¡­


    "However, only worthy ones shall keep the legacy, and only them can break the chains!


    "I am one of them, and I am fucking proud of being part of the true Chosen Ones. The boys, girls, men, and women who break the chains are my true family, and only they are worthy of being part of my Company!"


    "None of you are chosen one!" Arthur swung the sword, and the single sh destroyed the tables near him, "I am Mythical Legacy Carrier of Arthur Pendragon!"


    "A-A-Arthur¡­ Pendragon¡­" The Board of Directors felt their legs bing weak. The yers called it the Legendary Legacy, which was also every Knight yer''s dream.


    Everyone who chose the Knight ss wanted to be like Arthur Pendragon and y Dragons like he once did.


    Arthur held the sword in a tight grip, and then he did one single step. That single step teleported him across the room, stopping right before the Board of Directors.


    "Dragon''s yer!" Arthur swung the sword in a wide crescent-shaped arc. The curved de shed through the dozens of throats and only left behind a trail of blood.


    The Board of Directors stood still with pale faces. Then, the blood gushed out of their throats, and they fell dead.


    Arthur snapped his fingers, and the de disappeared, "Investors and their Assassins cane after me. I am not afraid since my duty to keep White Online safe from any harm was bestowed by the Gods!''''

 Chapter 455 World of Four Seasons!

    Chapter 455 World of Four Seasons!


    "This bastard!" Lord Souldeath screamed as he trashed his office. He threw theputer away and destroyed the bookshelves with his cane. Only minutes ago, he received news of Arthur''s announcement, and words couldn''t describe the anger he was feeling.


    His sons were silently standing in the office, slight anger in their eyes.


    Arthur''s announcement ruined their advantage, and now they have to fight against the monsters hiding in the shadows. Amongst the lesser fortunate who did not have that much wealth, there were a good number of those who yed alone the White Online game.


    However, one thing was certain, they were monstrously strong, and with the help of Mythical VR Helmet, they would be genuinely formidable opponents!


    "We need to speed it up¡­" Lord mmed the side of his fist against the desk and shouted, "Hurry up and break the chains already. You five already have the Legacy. What is taking so long?!"


    His five sons bowed humbly and said, "Yes, father!"


    They left the room with heavy steps.


    "Arthur¡­" Lord continued smashing things, "Fucking bastard¡­ I need to hire several Assassins¡­ I have heard that his strength is nearing the peak of the current human race, but several Assassins who had broken the chains should do it¡­"


    ¡­


    "¡­" Kalzer silently watched the announcement as a rey. After he watched it for the tenth time, he silently closed the phone and smiled as he heard his father raging downstairs.


    Arthur took off the advantage they had. His father had been angry ever since.


    However, Kalzer was happy, "Yes¡­ This is how it was supposed to be¡­ Everyone, bring it on, and let''s see who will be the first one to reach the God Realm!"


    ¡­


    Somewhere in World.


    Queen Diana sat in the living room with her family. They watched the announcement only a moment ago and had been in heated dispute ever since.


    Her family was angry because their advantage was removed by Arthur.


    ''Interesting¡­'' She smiled and left the living room.


    Once entering her luxurious room with carpeted floor and pinkish walls, she snatched her Mythical VR Helmet and plopped down on the bed.


    "Let''s see if I can break the chains!" She smiled and closed her eyes.


    ¡­


    "Oho¡­" Darth sat among his family in the small living room. The room was quite modest, with two floors, a modern kitchen, a semirge living room, and three bedrooms.


    His family members were shocked. His mother called his sister, discussing the shocking announcement.


    Darth''s sister was already texting with her friends.


    Darth''s father frowned while looking at the following news. After Arthur''s announcement, every news station reyed it before their news anchors talked about it.


    "Whew¡­" Darth scratched his head and returned to his room. He took out his VR Helmet and sighed because he knew that he needed Mythical to achieve his goal.


    ''Powers in real-life¡­ I want them¡­'' He sighed heavily and felt frustration filling him up. But then, he saw a ck dot appearing in the sky. It wasn''t only one, but hundreds!


    Several hundred drones soared across the sky, and under the shocked gazes of the citizens, they began slowly descending.


    Darth opened the window and saw one of the drones flying straight toward him!


    The drone slowed down its speed and dropped off the box on the window frame.


    "What the heck¡­" Darth took the box inside and opened it with a pocket knife. After it was open, his eyes glistened as ten Mythical VR Helmets were inside!


    There was also a note.


    [Ho-ho¡­ This shall be my present for everyone - Arthur Welhenheim]


    "Hahaha¡­" He held his face withughter, "I see now¡­ Well, thanks!"


    He ced the Mythical Helmet around his head andy on his bed. Then, he pressed the button on the side and entered the game with the goal of receiving real-life powers!


    ¡­


    As rumors spread of millions of drones flying across the sky, the world was in an uproar. Apparently, they delivered dozens of Mythical VR Helmets for every household, and they came straight from the Legacy Company.


    They finally understood what Arthur''sst words meant. He talked about the present.


    The riots and protests stopped. Everyone returned to their houses to enjoy Christmas and wait patiently for their presents to arrive. Once the sound of drones hovering above the sky came, everyone immediately stepped outside and watched as one of the boxesnded in their yards.


    With exciting looks, they received their Mythical VR Helmets and returned indoors to y.


    Suddenly, the crowded streets had turned deste, and warm lights brightly lit each household. With their families, everyone entered White Online.


    The Summer Realm and Spring Realm had only one day in the year when it snowed. Today was the day, and a Christmas feeling began spreading among the NPCs and yers.


    Instead of spending Christmas in real-life, everyone spent it in White Online with their families.


    Without them having to do anything, Christmas lights already decorated every house, and the tables were full of Christmas food.


    The less fortunate families that couldn''t afford much food in real-life also had their own houses in White Online with tables having more food than they could ever dream of!


    As the happiness began spreading across the World of White, a calm Christmas luby echoed from the heavens. The God Realm''s beautiful light stretched across the dark night, and the sound of angels singing reached every nook and crook of the world.


    "Keep it going!" Boreas grinned as he sat around an enormous table with hundreds of other Gods and Goddesses. They were also having their own Christmas party with everyone invited.


    The angels sang, their voices reaching even the Summer Realm. Delicious food filled the enormous tables while the Gods and Goddesses enjoyed everyone''s presence. Then, there were also several Mythical Figures, eating among them with equal status.


    Then, there was one Goddess, sulking and grumbling with displeasure.


    She was Khione, who was also the reason the Summer, Spring, and Autumn Realm was snowing.


    She gritted her teeth as her father''s, Boreas'', shout echoed behind her.


    "Shut up, old fart¡­" Khione then sighed and softly smiled. She could feel the happiness lingering in the air. Also, she could see the smiling faces and the festive atmosphere in the lower realms.


    She held her hand high up with snowkes floating away from her fingertips.


    It was all because of her and her ability. Without the snow, it wouldck the crucial factor that Christmas should have.


    "Merry Christmas¡­ Isaac." She couldn''t see that one annoying white-haired brat anywhere, but she could feel his presence somewhere in the Universe.


    END OF VOLUME 1!


    TOMORROW START OF VOLUME 2 - WORLD OF FOUR SEASONS!

 Chapter 456 New Year

    Chapter 456 New Year


    Volume 2 - World of Four Seasons


    ¡­


    One year had gone by since Arthur''s shocking announcement. The World entered a whole new era, the Era of White Online.


    A soft blue sky nketed over Snowstar''s bustling city. The cars with roaring engines roamed around the streets, and the pedestrians walked with a different glow in their eyes than only a year ago. There were even pedestrians holding their Mythical VR Helmet in hand.


    As they entered a store, building, or their homes, usually they would instantly wear VR Helmet and enter the new World.


    After the announcement, everyone began treating the residents of White Online as real people because they were. The yers who mistreated NPCs felt like criminals and turned a new leaf in their lives.


    Also, since Arthur proved the World to be real.


    The astronomers wondered where the World was.


    Was it in their sr system?


    Everyone then remembered the moon that hovered above the World of White. It looked eerily simr to the moon, and astronomers studied it even closer. It didn''t take long for them to discover that it was exactly the same moon as theirs!


    The World was again in uproar. The questions arose, what if the World of White was perhaps closer than any other? Why were they unable to see it?


    Since there were four moons circling around the World of Four Seasons, they had to figure out which moon it was. It didn''t take long, and then they calcted the distance between the World of White and the Moon.


    Then, they calcted the approximate distance and found the exact position where the World of White should be. The Space Agency''s built an enormous rocket for one purpose, to find the World of White!


    The World of White might be revealed to the public in the following months.


    ¡­


    Crunch. Crunch. Crunch.


    "¡­" A man with white hair and luminous silver eyes walked in the snowy streets.


    The man''s long white coat reached his knees while tightening around his waistline, exposing his athletic physique.


    His scythe-shaped eyebrows increased the appeal of his silvery eyes and his cosmic smile. As he walked in the streets, his arms and legs moved in perfect synchrony, like the entire World was circling around him.


    In his surroundings, store windows were disying different Christmas shows. The pedestrians briskly walked past him after taking a quick nce at him.


    They knew exactly who this man was.


    Lord Wraith, also known as Isaac Whitelock.


    "Sigh¡­" Isaac pulled out a scrap of paper from his back pocket. It showed a shopping list.


    Back in the Whitelock Residence, there were massive Christmas parties ongoing. Whitelock''s invited every family from their neighborhood alongside their rtives.


    Isaac had just returned from the dojo, which had grown significantly past year. With his help, and Lionel''s, they managed to grow the dojo till it was one of the biggest dojos in the entire Starshow.


    Thus, after leaving the dojo, he received a phone call and was ordered by his mother to do a quick shopping tour.


    He pocketed the paper and soon arrived at the convenience store. It had everything he needed.


    Before entering the store, he saw a young man sitting behind a circr table. He had Mythical VR Helmet surrounding his face, and he was lying motionless.


    The pedestrians didn''t seem to mind him as they walked right by. It wasn''t strange sight since it wasmon to y at every possible moment. After a workday, some might sit in their car and immediately enter the game.


    At first, everyone was excited to quit their jobs to try their luck in White Online. However, the explosive yer increase also made leveling up and making money incredibly difficult. In the end, many didn''t have enough skill and talent to reach a high enough level and thus had to continue working.


    Still, the employment rate increased explosively. There were still millions who did quit their jobs.


    Isaac turned his head away and entered the store. After taking a shopping cart, he picked up the groceries needed and went straight to the shop clerk.


    Even the shop clerk had Mythical VR Helmet hanging from his waistline. He would enter the game for several minutes if there weren''t any customers.


    The Mythical VR Helmet had a vibration sensor. It would allow the person to know if anyone was nearby, or in this case, if someone entered the store, he would immediately know.


    "Yo." The shop clerk said while feeling his heart pounding rapidly. He knew who the white-haired man was and had a hard time keeping a straight face.


    "Hello." Isaac ced all the groceries on the counter and watched as the shop clerk calcted the cost with shaky hands.


    After that, Isaac paid for the groceries and left the store with a stic bag in hand. Then, he continued walking in the streets and got greeted by everyone who walked past him.


    As he returned the greetings, he saw the TV screen showing an image of a destroyed City.


    The News Anchor spoke solemnly, "Earlier today, two ''Chain Breakers'' appeared in a remote City called Wesw. We don''t know what ignited the conflict, but they began fighting, and the downtime ended up in ruins."


    "The Sword of Myth had arrived on the scene and had begun examining the destruction and started finding out the identity of the two ''Chain Breakers'' who fought."


    "ording to reports we received, close to fifty had injuries, and five died."


    "Hmm¡­" Isaac hummed and felt his fist tightening slightly. The screen showed crying mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters.


    The Chain Breaker was the name given to the people who broke the Chains. They had been on the news almost every day. There had been conflicts between two Chain Breakers, which usually would lead to destruction because they weren''t aware of how much damage their fight would bring.


    The Sword of Myth was a new organization created by dozen Chain Breakers. They worked alongside Government and hunted down all the Chain Breakers that became criminals or misbehaved.


    "How horrible¡­" The nearby pedestrians murmured as their gazes lingered on the TV screens.


    Isaac slipped his hand into his right pocket and walked away.


    Soon, he saw the neighborhood gates, and the sound of music had already reached his ears.

 Chapter 457 The Prestige of lsaac Whitelock

    Chapter 457 The Prestige of lsaac Whitelock


    As Isaac trekked in the streets of the neighborhoods, he saw the bright Christmas lights adorning every mansion.


    A Christmas song lingered in the air, and it was slightly muffled. It wasing from the direction of the Whitelock Residence.


    The Whitelock Residence''s metal gate was wide open. There were still people entering the mansion with gift packets in their hands.


    Isaac''s parents invited everyone from the neighborhood to their Christmas party. There were also many rtives, including the servants, and several hundred invited people present.


    Isaac entered through the gate with a stic bag hanging from his left hand. The front door was guarded by two bodyguards, and the sound of music came from the slightly open window.


    "Young master!" The bodyguards immediately saluted and opened the door swiftly¡ªthey slightly lowered their heads with looks of revere shing past their faces.


    Past year, Isaac''s reputation had grown inside White Online rapidly. He was known as the Mysterious Bookstore Owner. Even Top yers acted respectfully in his presence, and that reputation also reached the real world.


    Name Isaac Whitelock was already widely recognized in Wintend!


    Isaac entered the mansion and saw the servants serving drinks and food. There were effortlessly over a hundred people present. They were mainly hanging out in therge living room and the front lounge''s buffet area.


    Several curious individuals were strolling on the second floor, checking out the expensive golden-framed paintings.


    "Young master!" After the servants noticed him, they greeted him fervently.


    The servants'' cries caused everyone to turn their gazes toward the front door. Their eyes showed signs of pleasant surprise and slight nervousness.


    Isaac nodded and walked past the servants. Everyone stepped away from his path, allowing him to reach the kitchen easily.


    Creak¡­


    After opening the kitchen door, he saw Isabe, Rachel, and Mariah chatting while cooking alongside servants. They all wore aprons, making them look like attractive housewives.


    "Mom, here." Isaac ced the stic bag on the table.


    "Ah, you are here!" Isabe quickly pressed on the sink''s faucet and washed her hands. Then, she gave a quick peck on Isaac''s cheek and took the stic bag.


    "Isaac, how are you doing?" Rachel asked gently as her beautiful face was slightly dirtied by the flour.


    "Good." Isaac tapped his finger against the desk and asked curiously, "I heard Tom got a promotion. Is that correct?"


    "Hehe, he did." Rachel said with a gentle giggle.


    Isaac nodded and looked toward Mariah, "Where is Luna?"


    "In the backyard with the kids," Mariah replied while stuffing her soft hands into the flour.


    "Alright, thanks." Isaac snatched a cookie from the table and left the kitchen.


    He got immediately swarmed by several middle-aged men. They tried to act casually, but there was a hint of nervousness in their facial expressions.


    "L-Lord Isaac." A middle-aged man with creamy brown hair said with a tiny stutter, "My name is John Karma. It''s nice to meet you."


    "Lord Isaac, my name is Rick Creek." A middle-aged man with ashen gray said with his right hand on his chest. His garments were a navy blue suit with a ck-iid cane in his left hand.


    "Lord Isaac, my name is Pete Brown. It''s an honor to meet you." A short middle-aged man with shoulder-length chocte brown hair said while fidgeting with his fingers.


    Isaac came to a halt and looked at the three men with a raised eyebrow, "Yes, may I help you?"


    "Well, actually¡­ We have a business proposition." John Karma said after clearing his throat.


    Seeing Isaac''s curious look, Rick Creek said, "It''s concerning your business in White Online, the Bookstore of Myriad."


    Bookstore of Myriad, Isaac''s bookstore''s name.


    "I am listening," Isaac said with his left ear slightly perked up. He had received a lot of business propositions, but not even one had caught his eye. There were few cooperations with other yers to increase the number of books in the store, but that was all.


    Pete Brown smiled and said, "Since we have been friends since High School, we decided to build apany that deals with book publishing. We managed to do pretty well and managed to make the Company''s worth several hundred million.


    "In the end, White Online arrived, and we decided to try our luck in it. We began creating our own bookstores there because we knew that the level of entertainment there must be lesser.


    "And using our futuristic knowledge, we could make big profits. Then, reality hit us big time. In Summer Realm, everyone was too into ying monsters, leveling up, and increasing their power.


    "Thus, we failed to make our demands. While others invested in Potion Business, we tried our hand in Book Business which failed.


    "Then, we heard about you¡­ A bookstore in Spring Realm owned by a single person. We thought you would fail like we did.


    "However¡­ You noticed something we didn''t. When people reached Spring Realm, the progress became slower¡­ Much slower, thus forcing yers to stay in the same ce for longer.


    "In the end, yers made Spring Realm their home. That''s why your bookstore is so incredibly popr because they are not only focused on improving their strength anymore but also are more interested in other entertainment.


    ''''After all, staying in one ce for a long time can make people bored. Especially the yers who got used to exploring new ces!


    "You created books that increased your poprity among New-Gen Humans (NPC), then after yers came to a standstill, they continued wondering what they should do?


    "In the end, they bought houses and started living there, and then they came across your bookstore.


    "They found valuable entertainment, and your poprity had explosive rise.


    "Am I right?" Pete Brown breathed deeply with a slightly red face. His two friends watched curiously behind him.


    Isaac stayed silent and watched the three men curiously. He could see the greed for power and money.


    "Sigh¡­" He sighed and showed three fingers, "First, you are wrong. Second, they don''t only read for entertainment but also because they gain something from my books. Third, my poprity resulted from me being able to do something other''s couldn''t."


    The three men frowned and looked confused.


    "Let me guess. You three want me to partner up with you?"


    They nodded hesitantly.


    "Unfortunately, that would be useless for me." Isaac lowered his fingers and walked past them, "You three don''t understand how I became popr. Thus, making the offer sour."


    "W-W-Wait, please reconsider!" John Karma shouted after him, but Isaac had already stepped out of the back door.


    "No¡­ Because my books are excellent¡­" Isaac smiled and walked into the light, "Unlike others¡­ I can increase the strength of others with only my books."

 Chapter 458 New Sibling

    Chapter 458 New Sibling


    The backyard had children ying amidughter. There was arge yground for Whitelock children, but only Mark had used ittely. They were still well-maintained and well operational.


    While the children yed cheerfully, five young women watched them while seated around a round table. Their sweet voices ovepped the children''sughter and reached Isaac''s ears.


    Isaac noticed Luna, Alice, and three of her friends sitting while dressed in warm clothing. The weather was rtively tamepared to the rest of the winter, and the children didn''t seem to mind the slight chill.


    Luna''s sparkling ck hair flowed over her shoulders. She wore a brown a-line coat that tightly hugged her around the waistline. On her feet were long leather boots that reached her knees.


    Alice wore quite simr clothes, and her ck hair had grown longer. It looked like she was slightly trying to copy Luna''s style of clothing.


    Alice''s three friends also wore expensive-looking coats, whichplemented their youthful and beautiful faces.


    Then, they heard soft footstepsing behind them. In unison, they turned heads and saw Isaac walking toward them, dressed in a fur coat.


    Alice''s three friends blushed and averted their gazes with slightly pounding hearts.


    "You are back!" Luna chirped with a bright smile.


    Isaac stopped behind her and touched her shoulders gently, "Yeah, but what are you five doing?"


    "Babysitting," Alice replied with a tiny smile. She crossed her arms and watched the children ying somewhat recklessly.


    Luna touched Isaac''s hand that was on her shoulder and said, "Waiting for that announcement."


    "What could the announcement be?" Alice held her chin with a thoughtful look.


    "Who knows¡­" Isaac shrugged his shoulders and looked toward the ice-blue sky with a thoughtful look.


    As time slowly passed, the five young women chatted among themselves while Isaac stood silently observing the children.


    Then, the door opened, and Rachel appeared with a radiant smile, "Everyone, the announcement is about to begin."


    "Oh!" Alice sprung to her two feet and rushed inside, quickly followed by her three friends.


    Luna and Isaac intertwined each other''s hands and stepped inside slowly. Rachel went to pick up the children with a gentle smile, and soon the backyard was empty.


    Soon, over two hundred people had gathered in the living room.


    Isaac and Luna found their own ce among the crowd of people and saw Isabe standing up with her right hand on her stomach.


    "Thanks, everyone, foring today." Isabe gently bowed and continued, "First reason was for ourmunity to gather up for onest party before the year ends, and the second was because I have an announcement to make."


    The crowd was silent, and even the children were waiting patiently.


    Maxwell was sitting on the couch, surrounded by dozen other well-dressed gentlemen.


    "I am pregnant." Isabe radiantly smiled while caressing her stomach, "So, there will be a new addition to the Whitelock Family."


    The crowd''s reaction was as expected. They were shocked, especially knowing what it meant.


    The Whitelock''s reputation had soared past year, and they were among the top 3 families in Snowstar, and it wasn''t farfetched to say that they have grasped the number 1 spot.


    Isaac''s and his siblings'' jaws dropped.


    p¡­ p¡­ p¡­


    Soon, the loud pping filled the living room. Then, words of congrattions filled the air.


    Luna continued pping but sneakily looked at Isaac with an innocent smile. Her eyes glowed, and it was like she was trying to send him a signal with her eyes alone.


    Isaac felt a chill running down his back but quickly shrugged it off.


    After the announcement, Isabe and Maxwell chatted with the leading figures of other families, who were congratting them.


    Then, Alice pushed past the crowd and stopped next to her mother, "Mom, boy or girl?!"


    "Not sure yet," Isabe replied with a gentle smile.


    "So¡­ that happened." Marvin left the living room alongside Isaac.


    "Hmm¡­" Isaac tapped his chin with a tiny smile, "Honestly, I didn''t expect to get another sibling."


    "None of us did," Marvin said and opened the door to the kitchen. They saw Lionel, Derek, Ins, and Niko chatting while sitting next to the kitchen desk.


    "Congrattions." Lionel raised a cup filled with water, "I guess."


    "What the fuck are doing here?" Marvin snatched the cup and asked with mock anger, "Children aren''t allowed here."


    "Hahaha, funny." Lionel fakeughed and snatched the cup back, "I am thirsty."


    "You have been like this since the dojo. What happened?" Ins asked while frowning.


    "Ask from him," Lionel grunted in annoyance and pointed at Isaac.


    Everyone turned toward the handsome white-haired man.


    Isaac shrugged his shoulders and sat down, "He is overreacting."


    "Oh, am I?!" Lionel held his face with an exhausted look, "Try fighting Isaac. I dare you¡­ Oh my god, it''s so tiring!"


    Isaac rolled his eyes and said, "You were the one who challenged me."


    Lionel gulped the water down and mmed the cup on the desk, "And I deeply regret it!"


    "Heh." Isaac raised his hand and snapped his fingers with his thumb and middle finger.


    A soft glow emerged from thin air, and his sniper rifle appeared. The short barrel shone dangerously while the silver-iid de looked like it could slice the skies apart.


    The kitchen was immediately shrouded in invisible pressure.


    The delinquent group began sweating with faces changing shades.


    "I-Isaac, fuck, stop!" Marvin gritted his teeth, and his knees bent, almost falling down.


    "Hehe, sorry." Isaac again snapped his fingers, and the pressure disappeared alongside the sniper rifle.


    "Ah, you goddamn monster." Lionel grunted in pain, "What level are you now?"


    Isaac mysteriously smiled and said, "Guess."


    Lionel looked at his friends and then began pondering, "Hmm¡­ I am level 450, and Marvin is level 467¡­ Apparently Lord Kalzer reached level 510 not long ago, so I think you are level 470!"


    "Hehe." Isaac smiled.


    "By the way, why did you hide your ranking?" Derek asked curiously, "It would increase your reputation, for sure. Even Marvin is in the top 200 and is recognized everywhere."


    "Nah, Isaac likes to keep his mysteriousness!" Lionel grinned and pointed at Isaac with his index finger, "Lord Wraith¡­ Mysterious Bookstore Owner, even respected by the Top yers¡­ Why should he give up that mysterious role for poprity he already has?"


    "Right¡­" His friends thoughtfully nodded.


    "But damn, Lord Kalzer is amazing. I heard he almost passed the dungeon and reached the boss room." Niko said with an impressed look.


    "Yeah¡­ With Lord Kalzer in there, I am sure City Maidenhood is the first City toplete the Dungeon."

    Chapter 459 irvoyance Spell


    Shortly afterward, the party ended, and the bustling mansion grew silent.


    Only Whitelock''s and Luna were left.


    Marvin returned to his room and entered White Online immediately.


    Alice left, went to her room, and entered White Online. So far, her progress was aplete mystery because she didn''t want to meet up with Marvin and Isaac inside the game because she wanted to try to y alone.


    Sophia returned to her room and curiously picked up the Mythical VR Helmet. Like Alice and Marvin, she also had Mythical VR Helmet. She, however, wasn''t very good in the game and could be considered aplete amateur in fighting.


    However, she had a very special skill that almost no one had. Thus, her reputation was also mystery-rted.


    Sophiay on her bed and ced the headset around her head. She pressed the button on the side and felt the skinsuit tightly hugging her attractive figure. Then, her face turned doll-like with zero emotion.


    In the kitchen, Isabe cleaned the desks while the servants had washed all the dishes before leaving the party.


    Maxwell returned to his office to continue his workload.


    Mark returned to his room and sneakily took his Mythical VR Helmet with a grin. However, if he entered the game, his ount would get banned because of the age limit.


    Thus, he pulled out a USB stick from his back pocket and connected it with the Mythical VR Helmet. Then, Mark put the headset on his head andy on the bed.


    The visor beeped, and the age that showed was 18. The USB stick had a program downloaded that changed the person''s age. Thus, allowing Mark to bypass the age limit.


    It was ban-worthy, and Legacy Company would definitely be able to patch it. However, Arthur had no intention of doing so.


    In his opinion, everyone should be allowed to y, but because of public pressure, he had to add it. However, he didn''t patch the age-changing program because he could act ignorant and tell the public that he had no idea about such a thing.


    While everyone was doing their own things, Isaac was sitting in the living room, his gaze firmly on the TV screen.


    The news showed images of the destruction, and the news anchor talked about the sudden increase in Chain Breakers'' activity. There seemed to be more and more Legacy Carriers, almost over a thousand, also increasing the number of Chain Breakers weekly.


    Soft footsteps echoed behind Isaac, and Luna arrived while wearing a blouse and jeans. She sat next to him and held his hand.


    "Are you alright?"


    "Yes¡­" Isaac replied with a quiet tone and changed channels. It was another news station that showed the destruction between the two Chain Breakers'' fight.


    "Battle between Chain Breakers¡­" He murmured with enough volume for Luna to hear, "It''s dangerous when White Online gives power to whoever manages to get their hands on the legacies¡­


    "To break chain varies from person, and you and I had the difficult tests, while some have easy ones...


    "And the world is full of ignorant people¡­ This is what happens when someone who doesn''t know how to handle their power appears." Isaac''s finger pointed at the TV screen, which showed the city''s destruction.?


    "Sword of Myth will handle it¡­" Luna touched his shoulder and whispered gently.


    "The problem is that they are alwayste!" Isaac''s left fist tightened, "The damage is there when they arrive. I bet all my wealth that the two who fought are currently hiding in their homes, crying their eyes out because of what they had done.


    "They are also aware that the Sword of Myth is after them. That makes them panic, and their reasoning stop existing. It''s dangerous when a frightened animal gets cornered, they will bite back, and more destruction happens¡­


    "The result will always be the same. Sword of Myth WILL find them and send them straight to Tartarus.


    "White Online''s damage control is excellent. The buildings and terrain are far more durable. Without that durability, the yer''s sheer strength would have destroyed everything in the game.


    "This is what happens when the real world doesn''t have that kind of durability. One attack would destroy a building, the aftermath kills a person or gravely injures."


    "What are you nning to do?" Luna asked worriedly. Her eyes shook as she scanned Isaac''s facial expressions. He looked like someone who was about to do something reckless.


    Isaac stayed silent and pulled out a card from his left pocket. The card showed a golden sword with an M-lettered hilt.


    "Is that¡­?" Luna''s eyes widened in surprise.


    "Yes, the calling card of the Sword of Myth." Isaac held it in his grasp and said, "They found out about me a few months ago¡­ They tried recruiting me, but I said no."


    "Are you¡­ Going to join them?" Luna''s body trembled from the thought alone. She knew that the death rate among Sword of Myth was high.


    "No, otherwise, my ranting session would have been nothing." Isaac let out a tiny seep ofughter and said, "Sword of Myth isn''t the solution. They are part of the problem."


    "Then, what are you nning to do?"


    Isaac looked at his girlfriend and saw her worried look. The crystal blue eyes moistened, and her cute pink lips curved downward.


    "Luna, can you use one of your irvoyance Spells?" Isaac held her hand and asked with a gentle tone, "I need you to find out the time when another Chain Breaker attack happens."


    Luna''s eyes widened, "I won''t be able to use that spell for the next three months. What if something happens to you?"


    "It''s fine. We only had to use that spell once before¡ªI will be fine." Isaac said with certainty and stood up. He offered his hand and said, "My love, will you do it for me?"


    Luna bit her lip and pouted, "You always call me "love" when you want something, and you know I can''t resist when you say that!"


    Isaac smiled, "Well, what is your answer¡­ My love?"


    "Of course, I will do it for you!" Luna stood up and wrapped her slender arms around his waist, "I will do anything for you."


    Smooch!


    Their heads leaned closer for a kiss, and the tongues began intertwining. Shortlyter, they separated from the kiss and went straight toward Isaac''s room to start doing the irvoyance Spell!

 Chapter 460 Clairvoyance Magic!

    Chapter 460 irvoyance Magic!


    "Alright, now the marbles¡­" Luna murmured while sitting cross-legged on the carpeted floor. In front of her was a small table inscribed with a pentagram.


    Isaac ced five marbles on the desk, surrounding the pentagram. Then, he sat down and looked at his girlfriend.


    Luna snapped her fingers, and a silver-iid wand appeared out of thin air. She then pointed it at the drawing of the pentagram and closed her eyes.


    "Hecate''s Magic, The Seven Circr, irvoyance Magic!" The wand''s tip shone radiantly, and the five marbles began shining with the same intensity.


    The pentagram slowly began fading away, and a small map appeared from there.


    Isaac leaned closer and recognized the map as Wintend''s. He recognized Starshow''s country outline, and then neighbor county suddenly began glowing red.


    A small red cross appeared in the shining country, and two words emerged with ck ink.


    "Country is Laughshow¡­ and City is called Happugh¡­" Surprisingly, the Country was the neighboring country of Starshow.


    Luna''s eyes opened, and she said, "Next attack will happen in 10 days."


    "I see, thanks." Isaac did a quick peck on her cheek, causing Luna to giggle softly. She smiled brightly and saw her boyfriend taking out hisptop.


    "What are you doing?" She leaned closer while asking.


    "Ordering ne tickets," Isaac said nonchntly.


    "W-What?!"


    "Yes, I am going there," Isaac said while double-clicking on the website. He quickly ordered two tickets before Luna could say another word.


    "B-But¡­" Luna''s heart pounded in anxiousness, "W-What about me?"


    "What about you?" Isaac raised his eyebrow.


    "A-Are you going to leave me here?" She asked with teary eyes.


    "Oh, I ordered you a ticket too." Isaac spun theptop around and showed that he had ordered two tickets, "You can treat this trip as¡­"


    Luna looked at him with teary eyes, looking pitiful and adorable, "Treat this trip as..?"


    "Early honeymoon!" Isaded a kiss on her forehead and closed theptop before returning it to his desk.


    Luna held her forehead with cheeks dyed in pink, "Honeymoon¡­ hehe¡­"


    "The ne will leave in 3 days, so until then, I have something to do in White Online." Isaac went to fetch his Mythical VR Helmet from the wardrobe and then returned to his bed.


    Luna sprung to her feet and took her Mythical VR Helmet from the same wardrobe. She was the owner of two Mythical VR Helmets, one she kept in Isaac''s room and another in her own room back in Snowflower Residence.


    That way, she could y from anywhere. Still, her favorite ce was in Whitelock Residence because while ying¡ªshe was usually lying next to Isaac, sharing the bodily heat which she could feel even inside the game.


    Shey beside Isaac briskly and moved closer until their arms touched. Then, they both put VR Helmets around their heads.


    Luna turned her head and nted a kiss on Isaac''s cheek. Before he could react, she entered the game with one final giggle.


    Isaac wryly smiled and entered the game.


    ¡­


    Snowkes floated from the ice-blue sky andnded on the snowy streets. It was the one rare day in the White Online calendar when it snowed. It was Christmas day, and the gentle angel luby echoed across the realms.


    The citizens of each city spent their time with their family members and friends. The streets got crowded with excited-looking citizens, and one street was especially busy.


    Everyone happily enjoyed their time while waiting for one store to open its doors. It consisted of three separate buildings.


    The sign said "Bookstore of Myriad", and its doors were closed so far. The interior was dark, and hundreds of citizens were anxiously waiting for the doors to open.


    Then, a soft glow appeared on the second floor.


    Isaac and Luna appeared in the soft bed. The room they spawned in was enormous, with carpeted floor and chandeliers hanging from the ceiling with yellow crystals.


    The room gave a cozy and warm feeling.


    "Mmmh¡­" Luna rolled in the bed and moved the nkets over to cover her figure, "Sofy¡­"


    "We have to open the store." Isaac leaned closer and whispered.


    "Don''t wanna¡­ It''s so warm¡­" She snuggled into the nkets with a blissful smile.


    "Oh, don''t wanna?" Isaac''s hand touched her soft butt and gently squeezed, "Don''t wanna?"


    "Kyaa, my butt!" Luna blushed and took off his hand, "D-Dummy¡­"


    "Don''t wanna?" Isaac yfully smiled, and Luna''s soft punchnded on his shoulder. After being done ying around, they left the room and walked down the luxurious hallway.


    The store looked vastly different than a year ago. The second floor looked like a small mansion, while the store was three times bigger than a year ago.


    That was because he bought the neighbor stores and connected them all. Thus, making the store muchrger and it gave a lot more space.


    After walking down the stairs, they saw the crowd waiting outside the doors.


    Isaac scratched his head and walked toward the counter. He got seated on the soft chair with fur cushions and watched as Luna walked to the door.


    As she opened the door, her bright smile almost blinded the crowd, and they immediately realized who she was.


    "Lady Night." They bowed respectfully toward Luna while using her in-game nickname, Night.


    "Wee!" Luna let everyone enter and briskly walked towards the counter. She sat next to Isaac and waited for the customers to arrive with their books.


    The customers respectfully looked at Isaac and went straight to the bookshelves. There were easily over hundred bookshelves with close to ten thousand books. Surprisingly, half of them were his own creations.


    The customers swarmed around his books, finding suitable books for them.


    Nine months ago, Isaac realized his Novelist Sub-ss'' real strength. He had the ability to make the NPCs and yers stronger with his books.


    However, only one genre was suitable for a person. Thus, they had to find a suitable genre for themselves. It was quite difficult because they had to read the whole book several times to be sure that the genre was wrong.


    That was one of the reasons for his immense sess.


    It worked simrly like to Be''s cooking. They had to read his books and learn the things the book showed. Like, a Martial Arts Book, there were real techniques written, and if the person with a suitable genre read those techniques, they could learn them. However, it was difficult because they had to learn them themselves.


    They need to read carefully and learn the core of those techniques. However, it appealed to many because some of those techniques were legendary!

 Chapter 461 Lord Wraith

    Chapter 461 Lord Wraith


    Isaac sat on the chair while flipping through papers. Next to him, Luna spoke gently to the customers, who blushed after getting talked to by the Bookstore Goddess.


    Her charm also attracted a great number of male customers. But, no one was even remotely crazy enough to flirt with her or show inappropriate behavior. She was, after all, the famed girlfriend of the Mysterious Bookstore owner.


    There had been rumors floating about the true level of Isaac. They guessed that he was above level 500, and some sent a random guess that he was a low-level yer.


    However, everyone still acted respectfully toward him. That''s where his title came from, Lord Wraith.


    It was a spoken title and not given. Lord Kalzer had the ''''Lord'''' title because he was Alpha Tester.


    Only Alpha Testers could have Lord and Lady titles.


    Beta Testers had King and Queen titles.


    Even though Isaac wasn''t the true ''''Lord'''' title owner, people still treated him as such.


    ''''E-E-Excuse me, Lord Wraith.'''' A young man with a timid voice tried to attract Isaac''s attention while standing behind the bookshelves. He was behind dozen customers lining up in front of Luna, about to rent a book.


    Isaac frowned and looked toward the young man.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' He sighed and motioned for him toe closer.


    The young man immediately looked excited and briskly walked past the crowd, stopping after reaching the counter.


    ''''Runner, what do you want?'''' Isaac turned his gaze away from the papers and asked.


    Runner, the timid-looking yer, sheepily scratched his head and said, ''''T-Tomorrow is your turn to try the Dungeon.''''


    ''''Wasn''t it two dayster?'''' Isaac frowned.


    ''''T-The one ahead of you fell sick and won''t be able to y.''''


    ''''Hmm, I got it.'''' Isaac nodded and stacked the papers before cing them inside the cab.


    High Priest and High Priestess only allow one person to enter the dungeon per day. The yers don''t know why, but it seemed quite important because they were ready to fight yers if they tried to enter with more than one yer.


    The yers have turns trying the dungeon, and Top yers created the so-called Top yer alliance shortly afterward. They decided on the turns for the dungeon, and it was non-bias.


    However, there was still some favoritism. Like, this will be Isaac''s third try in the Dungeon past three months. He gets one try each month, which was quite rare because some yers have to wait six months for one try.


    This was 9th time in total when Isaac was trying the dungeon. So far, he hadn''t even seen a glimpse of the Final Boss Door.


    Runner politely bowed and left with excitement. He was pretty excited because the famed Lord Wraith was finally going to give it a try.


    The Priesthood''s yer base was anticipating his try with excitement. They thought that within two months, the dungeon would get beaten, but only a handful of yers could beat it.


    Wraith was one of them!


    There had been rumors surfacing that Lord Wraith might be able to fight against Lord Kalzer and not necessarily lose!


    Runner felt a rush of blood going straight to his head. He was a hardcore fan of Wraith and believed with all his heart that tomorrow would be the day when he would clear the dungeon!


    The night soon dawned, and the store turned empty.


    The yellow crystals dimmed down, and the store turned dark.


    Inside therge bedroom, Isaac and Luna sat on theirfy bed while reading books.


    Luna''s legs were under the nket while the gasmp beside her illuminated the book''s pages. She gently turned the page and continued reading with slightly unfocused eyes.


    After being unable to concentrate, she closed the book and turned to look at Isaac, ''''Isaac, I am curious.''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac closed the book and ced it inside the cab. Then, he turned to look at Luna.


    ''''Why don''t you want to have babies with me?'''' She asked with a serious look.


    Isaac''s body flinched slightly, but it wasn''t the first time they had this conversation.


    He gently smiled and ced his hands on top of hers, ''''I want to, but it''s too early.''''


    ''''Early? We are 19.''''


    ''''Exactly, only 19.'''' Isaac smiled with yful teasing.


    Luna pouted and crossed her arms, ''''Your parents had their first children when they were 19¡­''''


    ''''Ahem¡­'''' Isaac shook his head and tried to think of an excuse.


    However, Luna sighed and curled up in the nket, ''''Tomorrow is your in the dungeon.''''


    ''''Yeah.'''' Isaac heaved a sigh of relief after she steered the conversation topic away.


    ''''Are you confident?''''


    ''''I think I am.'''' Isaac opened the cab door and took out a worn-out notebook. He then opened it and showed the pages to Luna.


    Isaac wrote everything found in the dungeon in the notebook.


    ''''You showed me these before.'''' She said with a raised eyebrow.


    ''''Yes, but I earned a valuable piece of information yesterday.'''' Isaac smiled and continued, ''''Yesterday, it was yer Karuza''s turn, and he didn''t reach the Boss Room, or even close, but he found another path. ording to him, it had way fewer monsters than other paths.''''


    Isaac''s eyes shone as he held the notebook, ''''With this path¡­ Getting to Boss Room isn''t impossible.''''


    ''''Wow!'''' Luna was amazed.


    ''''That''s why I am quite confident.'''' Isaac grinned and put the notebook back in the cab.


    Luna immediately hid underneath the nket, only showing her face, ''''Not inside the game¡­ You are just trying to weasel your way out of our previous conversation!''''


    Isaac leaned closer, his hot breath tickling Luna''s neck, ''''Why not?''''


    ''''Because inside the game, we can''t have babies, nor need protection. I finally understood why you started doing it inside the game and not in real life. I caught you red-handed!'''' Luna hid her whole body underneath the nket.


    ''''Mouu¡­'''' Isaac plopped t on his stomach on the bed and moved his left hand over Luna''s stomach, gently caressing it, ''''Fine, good night!''''


    He immediately closed his eyes.


    ''''Eh?'''' Luna peeked underneath the nket and saw the sleeping Isaac. A pout appeared immediately on her face, ''''Stupid!''''

 Chapter 462 The High Temples Gathering

    Chapter 462 The High Temple''s Gathering


    The city of Priesthood''s High Temple was bustling, as always. The yers, priests, and priestesses filled the yard with Realm Portals.


    While the yers were entering and leaving the Realm Portals, the yard continued to be more crowded.


    The Priests and Priestesses continued quarreling. The yers could hear their arguments from a long distance away.


    However, there was a fourth group waiting for something. They were sitting among the stone benches, chatting with fellow yers. Their gazes shifted between the enormous stone staircase hundreds of meters long and the High Temple''s entrance.


    They were waiting for Lord Wraith to make his appearance!


    Among the crowd, there were several cloaked figures who instantly attracted attention. Not because of their bizarre clothing style, but because of the immense pressure they emitted.


    Everyone could instantly tell that they were Pro yers!


    "Psst, did you hear?" A yer who left the Portal walked toward his female friend who was waiting for them. He came here in a hurry for only one purpose: to witness perhaps the clearing of the dungeon!


    "Hmm, hear what?" His friend asked with a raised eyebrow. She was a rtively normal-looking girl with auburn hair, a round-shaped head, and brown eyes.


    "Apparently, today is Lord Wraith''s turn!" The male yer said in an almost childish manner. He grinned ear to ear while waiting impatiently.


    "Wait, Lord Wraith¡­ Where have I heard that name¡­" Her brows furrowed as she tried to force the memory to surface.


    "How can you not know!" The male yer almost raged but then remembered that his friend had recently arrived in Priesthood. She stayed in the Test of Vige for a long time.


    The first vige of Spring Realm was referred to as the Test of Vige. They all had different challenges, but all of them were extremely difficult.


    Sessfully passing the test was one of the yers'' most proud moments. Reaching one of the Major Cities in Spring Realm would mean they were pretty skilled!


    There were three viges that were called S-Tier Viges. Spawning in one of them would make the yer scream in despair and cry till their eyes bled.


    The Viges were: Oceanwell, Lavawell, and Rainwell.


    An enormouske filled with man-eating beasts surrounded the small vige of Oceanwell. There were also some unknown beasts lurking in the depths of theke.


    Lavawell was a scorching hot area. The yers who ended up there were always in a state of dehydration. It was simply too hot, and they would have to cross the enormous desert to escape that ce!


    Rainwell was the strangest ce. It was nowpletely empty, devoid of any life. There was a sign of life, but everyone who lived there previously had mysteriously disappeared. That caused a lot of horror stories to circle in that ce.


    Then, there was that enormous forest with mysterious and horror-like creatures.


    Once Isaac heard about the vigers disappearing from Rainwell, he knew that people from Fisherman Vige seeded in crossing the forest and helped the Rainwell vigers to escape that dreadful ce.


    However, the yers weren''t as lucky and had to wait for level 300 even to try to pass the forest. Impatience would lead to death, and they would have to wait even longer!


    Lord Wraith''s legendary status rose after the rumor of him surviving the Rainwell Forest came to light. Apparently, he did that within one week of being in Spring Realm, thus, making him a below 200-level yer.


    That rumor came from twins who met him during their stay there. They had to wait till level 270 to clear the test.


    The male yer''s friend humphed and crossed her arms, "I think I have heard about him, but I never remember the names of these Top yers."?


    "Sigh¡­" The male yed facepalmed.


    "Anyway, why are you so excited about him trying the dungeon?" She asked curiously, "I heard the dungeon is impossible."


    "Yes, apparently it''s impossible¡­ But not for Lord Wraith!"


    "Ugh." She rolled her eyes, "What is so amazing about him?"


    The male yer looked around sneakily before whispering, "I have heard that he is also Chain Breaker, one of the first ones!"


    "W-What?!" She covered her mouth in a hurry, then whispered through her fingers, "How do you know?"


    "Lord Wraith, his real-life self, was in a quite famous incident year ago." The male yer inched closer, "There was a video of some bastards trying to murder him, and there were some bits of the fight, and the way Wraith moved¡­ Made people curious whether he was Chain Breaker."


    "The way he moved?" She frowned.


    "Yes, in very inhuman like." The male yer looked toward the long stairway, "His mysteriousness is what attracts people to him¡­ My dream is to see him fighting, at least once!"


    Tap¡­ Tap¡­ Tap¡­


    "Hmm?" The female yer frowned and saw her friend freezing.


    The male yer shakily turned toward the staircase alongside hundreds of other yers.


    "What is this noise?" She rubbed her ears and listened to the calm tempo of footsteps.


    The footsteps sounded soft yet powerful. Menacing, yet peaceful.


    "He is¡­ing!" The male yer couldn''t hold his excitement and pushed past the crowd to get closer to the staircase.


    "H-Hey, wait for me!" His friend quickly moved after him.


    Priests and Priestesses stopped fighting and frowned. They turned to look at the staircase with slightly nervous heartbeats.


    "What is happening?"


    "Why is everyone silent?"


    "What is this sound?"


    Most yers were confused and turned to look in the same direction as the rest.


    Thud¡­


    Slowly, a white-haired man appeared, dressed in his famous Camouge Outfit. Soon, he took his first steps out of the stairway and saw the sea of yers waiting for him.


    No one let out a sound, and a clear path wasid for him that led straight to the High Temple''s front entrance.


    "H-He is¡­ Wraith?" The female yer said with shock. Her brown eyes reflected the white-haired and inhumanly handsome face.


    "Yes¡­ and today, the dungeon will get cleared!" The male yer tightened his fist while looking at his idol, "I can feel it¡­ everyone with even the slightest experience fighting strong yers can tell¡­ Wraith is strong, immensely so¡­


    "I am curious¡­ How far has his level reached?"

 Chapter 463 Pulverizer!

    Chapter 463 Pulverizer!


    The High Temple''s doors opened.


    High Priest and High Priestess stopped in the doorway while wearing their ritual robes. They were slightly surprised at the number of yers but quickly regained theirposure.


    Then, they saw the white-haired man arriving on the front steps, only five meters from them.


    "yer Wraith, I assume?" High Priestess said with her soothing tone. A fancy ne hung from her swan-like neck.


    "Correct," Isaac replied and received a nod from the High Priest and Priestess. Then, they allowed him to enter and closed the door afterward.


    The quiet yard instantly exploded into heated chatter. The females screamed while the male yers whispered with admiration. They felt their blood pumping with excitement.


    A short distance away, a dark-haired man lifted his cloak, revealing his tanned face.


    "So¡­ this was Lord Wraith¡­ Hmm¡­" He rubbed his chin, then pulled out a tiny shard from his pocket. It looked like a miniature diamond.


    The shard showed an image of a golden sword with an M-lettered hilt!


    "Connect." He said, and soon the shard showed an image of a person.


    "Mister X, why did you call me?" The man''s raspy voice came from the shard. The mouth moved up and down while the facial expressions stayed the same.


    "Master Zero, I am in Priesthood, like you suggested, and I saw Mister W entering the dungeon. It is his turn." The tanned man, Mister X, said with his deep voice.


    The shard became silent.


    But then, Master Zero opened his mouth, "I see¡­ Prepare yourself. The dungeon will be cleared today, and make sure you are prepared to enter Autumn Realm!"


    "Yes, Master." Mister X bowed, and the shard turned dark before cracking apart. He then pocketed the broken pieces and muttered, "Master sure has a lot of faith in him¡­


    "I still don''t understand why Sword of Myth needs him¡­"


    ¡­


    "This is it." High Priest Robert Highsoul stopped next to a dark and shadowy door. A cold feeling spread across the door as if the dungeon was hiding something incredibly evil.


    "As far as I recall, this isn''t your first turn, so you know what to do if you want to give up." High Priestess Matilda said. She, of course, remembered Isaac visiting several times but had to act ignorant and act like she didn''t remember him.


    "Yes, thank you." Isaac turned toward the door and said, "Open."


    High Priest Robert nodded and took a dark brass key from his pouch. Then, he inserted it into the dark door and twisted it with a strong push.


    Creak!


    The door opened wide, and long stairs shrouded in the darkness appeared.


    The stairs looked endless like they could lead to the ends of the world.


    Whoosh¡­


    After a cold breeze drifted out from the dungeon, the floor became slightly frosted.


    "Good luck." High Priest Robert said, which was also a signal for Isaac to enter.


    Isaac nodded and briskly stepped down the stairs.?


    Immediately, the door closed behind him, and endless darkness engulfed him. A spine-numbing chill attacked his body, forcing him to his knees.


    However, Isaac flicked his sleeves, and the cold was immediately gone.


    "Cold won''t affect me¡­" Tiny snowke patterns flickered in his eyes before disappearing.


    Isaac then briskly began running down the stairs. He knew that time was the key. The shadowy creatures would smell his scent within minutes. Thus, he had to leave the first pathway as quickly as possible!


    Isaac''s body moved like a sh of lightning as he zoomed down the enormously long stairs. After only a short time, the stairs'' end was visible in the distance!


    Isaac didn''t slow down, instead elerated and soon left the stairs. However, as soon as his feetnded on the grainy floor, he burst into a magnificent feat of speed, and like a bolt of lightning, he was already on the other side of the long pathway and entered the second pathway!


    The second pathway was also dark, with only tiny seeps of lighting from the cracks in the ceiling.


    Whoosh!


    With his excellent eyesight, Isaac could see everything perfectly, like standing in the middle of a grasnd with a blue sky above and shining sun. It didn''t matter to him whether it was dark or bright.


    As Isaac rapidly ran in the second pathway, he suddenly frowned and could see tiny movements in the shadows. A normal person wouldn''t be able to notice it because the path was already dark enough.


    To see even one shadow would be a miracle, let alone a tiny movement in the shadows!


    However, Isaac managed to do that and immediately reacted by jumping toward the ceiling. He smashed his hand into the rock ceiling and hung from there.


    As his legs dangled below him, he looked towards the distance, and then three four-limbed creatures with shadowy fur ran past him with blinding speed. They were as fast as Isaac and almost impossible while they ran in the dark pathways!


    Isaac removed his hand from the ceiling andnded on the floor. He immediatelyunched into motion and zoomed through the second path.


    Then, he arrived in arge dome-like room with a ceiling filled with yellow crystals, which lit up the room entirely. There were thousands of paths, each pathway engulfed in darkness.


    Growls of beasts resonated from the pathways, and the whole room were suddenly shrouded in endless coldness. A normal person would have frozen already, but Isaac didn''t seem to care as he flipped through his notebook.


    He quickly checked Karuza''s notes and turned towards the 496th path.


    "That path is the correct one¡­" Isaac threw the notebook into his inventory and ran into the pathway. Then, his speed increased even more as the ground started shaking under his heavy steps. Currently, he was two times faster than the shadowy beasts!


    "GROWL!" Isaac immediately came to a stop and narrowed his eyes. The following pathway was wider, but there were close to a hundred shadowy beasts sleeping on the floor, but most of them were slowly waking up!


    "Amazing that I got this far without being swarmed by thousands of these monsters¡­ Only a hundred, doable." Isaac extended his hand and grinned.


    His sniper rifle with a silver-iid de appeared from thin air.


    Isaac held it firmly and took one short step forward.


    That one short step sent a spike of aura toward the shadowy monsters.


    "GROWL!" All of the shadowy monsters woke up with loud and deadly growls. They turned to look at Isaac with their dark eyes turning redder!


    They sprung to their feet and crossed hundreds of meters with one leap!


    They were rapidly closing in on Isaac!


    "Hehe¡­" Isaac spun the gun around and then aimed with his finger on the trigger, "Pulverizer!"


    [Pulverizer Used!]

 Chapter 464 Percentage

    Chapter 464 Percentage


    Swoosh!


    A spark of red light appeared from the depths of the barrel. The spark slowly became a tiny crimson ball that let out tiny currents of electricity.


    ''''GROWL!'''' The shadowy creatures were close enough for their disgusting breaths to reach Isaac''s nostrils.


    ''''Pulverizer!'''' Isaac pulled the trigger and immediately lit the whole pathway in a deadly crimson hue!


    Whoosh!


    A crimson beam left the barrel and drilled straight through hundreds of shadowy creatures!


    [Pulverizer: Using this skill, the yer can unleash a powerfulser beam that annihtes everything in its path]


    Isaac chose Pulverizer as his 200-level skill; even now, it was one of his strongest skills!


    The crimson beam continued traveling across the pathway, killing everyone that happened to be on its path.


    Burnt corpses of the shadowy monsters littered the pathways as the crimson hue slowly faded away.


    Isaac opened the interface and saw his percentage rising.


    The leveling-up mechanic also changed after reaching the 400th level. Instead of numbers, to level up needs ''''percentage''''.


    The yers receive a percentage by killing strong monsters and yers. But, they could also receive a percentage if theypleted a quest or did a challenging deed.


    Currently, Isaac''s percentage was 67%. To get to the next level, he would need 100%.


    Killing those dangerous monsters only made his percentage rise by 5%!


    Isaac closed the interface and again started running. With his incredible speed, he soon left the pathway and entered arge room.


    There was another path at the end of therge room, but there were obstacles in the way.


    In the ceiling, thousands of bat-like creatures pped their wings while looking at the white-haired man.


    Isaac immediately dropped his gun and covered his ears.


    Almost immediately, the bats opened their jaws and sent their soundwave attacks toward Isaac!


    The soundwave attacks destroyed the ground¡ªif a normal person had heard it, their eardrums would have ruptured.


    Isaac waited patiently, counting inside his mind. Once he counted to 25, the soundwave attacks stopped, and he immediately snatched his gun from the floor.


    Then, he spun around with the gun''s blunt edge resting against his shoulder and his finger touching the cold edge of the trigger.


    BANG!


    The single bullet smashed into the rocky ceiling and sent a st strong enough that killed every bat!


    The thousands of bats fell from the ceiling, with their bodies riddled with wounds. Theynded on the ground, twitching in pain until they finally died.


    Isaac jumped to his feet and saw that the ceiling was about to fall apart!


    He immediately started running towards the path in the distance. As the ceiling fell apart behind him, he entered the bright pathway and continued running as fast as he could.


    His body looked like the aftermath as he moved across the pathway. Then, in the distance, arge door connected to the ceiling appeared!


    Isaac''s eyes shone because he had never reached this far before!


    He had reached thest pathway before, but after killing bats, he would get surrounded by close to a million shadowy creatures. Thus, forcing him to give up.


    However, now the path waspletely empty. But then, close to a thousand shadowy beasts appeared from the shadows and guarded the enormous door.


    ''''Tch¡­'''' Isaac left the pathway and continued running towards the shadowy figures, who had already noticed him.


    They growled in anger but didn''t leave the door. Instead stood their ground.


    Isaac aimed with his sniper rifle and smirked, ''''Icy Shot!


    [Icy Shot Used!]


    A tiny icy-d bullet left the barrel and slowly flew across the air. The shadowy creatures seemed alerted as they tried to move out of the way. However, then the bullet exploded, and the room temperature decreased by a few hundred!


    The shadowy creatures tried to howl in anger but immediately got covered in a thick iceyer.


    Isaac immediately swung his weapon and used the silver de to cut straight through their bodies. Soon, the shadowy creatures were all dead, littering the ground with their broken ice bodies.


    He immediately strapped the gun on his back and mmed his palms against the heavy door.


    ''''Haaah!'''' Isaac gritted his teeth and screamed as his muscles bulged like they were about to explode. The door slowly began opening but painfully slow.


    ''''HOWL!'''' Then, a bone-chilling howl came from one of the pathways. Isaac''s face turned pale, and he began punching the door, which forced the door to open ever-so-slightly.


    Behind him were thousands of different paths, each filled with enraged howls. It didn''t take long for shadowy creatures to make their appearances. Suddenly, there were over a million of them, running straight toward Isaac with unbelievable speed!


    They crossed a distance of a kilometer with one leap, and in only a matter of seconds, they would reach Isaac.


    ''''OPEN!'''' Isaac screamed, and suddenly his bones began glowing in radiant gold!


    His strength immediately had an explosive rise!


    The door opened with a m, and Isaac jumped inside with loud shadowy figures trying to stretch their bony ws toward him.


    Thud!


    Isaac crashed to the ground and immediately turned around with his gun in his arms. However, then he saw the shadowy figures smashing against an invisible wall. They tried to w their way through but couldn''t!


    ''''Haahh¡­'''' Isaac heaved a sigh of relief, and then the door mmed shut. Instantly, a notification appeared in front of him.


    [Congrattions, you are the first yer to reach Dungeon of Priesthood''s Boss Room!]


    [Reward: 10%]


    ''10 percentage increase¡­ Huge!'' Isaac clenched his fist with celebration. Then, the Boss Room turned bright, and arge throne with a tall backrest appeared. A person with shadowy features sat on it with arge shield in his left hand and a longsword in his right.


    The shadowy features cleared up¡ªa youthful and handsome man with beautiful wings stood up from the throne. His gaze firmly locked on Isaac, and a desire for battle ignited inside him.


    Isaac aimed with his weapon and moved his finger close to the trigger. The atmosphere turned heated, and the ceiling began cracking under the strong aura of the two men.


    ''''Wee, yer Wraith.'''' The youthful man said with a handsome smile, ''''My name is God Zephyros, Gatekeeper of this Realm.''''

 Chapter 465 Meteor Descent!

    Chapter 465 Meteor Descent!


    ''God Zephyros¡­ So, Khione was right. He was here.'' Isaac narrowed his eyes.


    God Zephyros stepped down the stairs that led to his throne. After his feetnded on the ground, he spoke in his youthful tone.


    ''''Actually, you have already cleared this dungeon.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac raised his eyebrow.


    God Zephyros pointed with his sword toward the end of the room. There was a portal with bluish colors. It was the portal leading to Autumn Realm!


    ''''The real test is the shadowy creatures. Managing to reach this ce would mean you sessfully passed. My only job here is to stop the shadowy creatures from escaping this ce, nothing else.''''


    ''''Then, why does it seem like you want to fight me?'''' Isaac asked with his grip tightening on his weapon.


    ''''Well, you defeated one of my favorite avatars.'''' God Zephyros smiled and moved his sword above his head, ''''Thus, I have to test your skills by myself!''''


    ''''Bring it on!'''' Isaac immediately aimed and pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet left the barrel like a missile and ripped through the air with deadly velocity!


    God Zephyros smashed his shield at the bullet and destroyed it with ease. Then, he jumped across the room and hammered his sword down at Isaac!


    Isaac''s body turned into afterimages as he suddenly moved out of the way and appeared right behind God Zephyros!


    BOOM!


    The sword destroyed the ground, and the wielder of that sword, God Zephyros, whipped his head around with his mouth wide open. He saw Isaac quickly pulling the trigger.


    BANG!


    Another bullet explosively left the barrel.


    ''''Try harder!'''' God Zephyros inhaled air into his lungs and then exhaled, which sent a st of wind that destroyed the bullet entirely!


    Isaac crossed his arms and ended up getting sent flying across the room. However, he managed to stabilize and calmlynded on the floor. Immediately, he burst into motion and ran straight toward God Zephyros.


    ''''Raaaah!'''' God Zephyros raised his sword and hammered it down at the ground.


    BOOM!


    The ground got split in half, and the cracks reached Isaac, almost swallowing him whole!


    However, Isaac jumped to the side, dodging the strike only barely.


    Then, God Zephyros bellowed loudly, and his sword''s de began glowing orange!


    ''''Spring''s Fall!'''' He pointed the sword toward the ceiling, which began cracking immediately. Meteor-sized boulders descended from the top, going straight toward Isaac!


    After the ceiling cleared up, the High Temple and blue sky became visible far away.


    As the massive boulders descended from the ceiling, Isaac calmly stood still. He continued blinking calmly, and his breath became peaceful.


    Then, his eyes started changing. His beautiful silver eyes started having a hue of golden around the rims, and soon the pupil changed from silver to bright gold!


    [Multi-Eyes Used!]


    [Multi-Eyes Lv2: You see everything that happens within a 100-meter radius from you]


    Multi-Eyes was the skill Isaac chose when he reached the 400 level. It was a monumental achievement for any yer, and after reaching it, Isaac received ten skill choices, but out of them all, he chose Multi-Eyes, even though it didn''t seem like the best choice.


    Immediately, the whole room became clearer, and Isaac could even see tiny dust particlesnding on the ground. He could see where God Zephyros was and where the massive boulders wouldnd.


    Isaac grabbed his gun and aimed it toward the dust cloud that blocked him from seeing God Zephyros. However, with Multi-Eyes, he could see him clearly.


    ''''Pulverizer!''''


    [Pulverizer Used!]


    The crimson beam flew out of the barrel, cut straight through the dust cloud, and struck God Zephyros in the chest!


    ''''W-What?!'''' God Zephyros'' eyes widened in shock, and the crimson beam burnt a big portion of his armor and skin.


    His chest te got destroyed, and his chest was charred ck!


    ''''Arghhhh!'''' God Zephyros moved his shield and smashed the crimson beam away.


    The crimson beam slowly faded away, and the immense heat disappeared.


    ''''Argh!'''' God Zephyros fell to his knees in agony.


    [God Zephyros]


    [Level: 500 (Human Realm Limitations)]


    [HP: 65%]


    While the yers still had their HP''s as numbers, every God, creature, beast, and monster above level 400 had a percentage. The percentage varied greatly, and some beasts would have died from Isaac''s strike, but God Zephyros only lost 35%.


    When the HP reached 0%, they would die.


    ''''Damn¡­'''' God Zephyros grimaced and turned towards Isaac. Then, he saw the meteor-sized boulders getting destroyed by Isaac''s bullets like they were nothing but tiny pebbles in the ground!


    ''''Just¡­ Who is he?'''' He muttered to himself with a shocked tone, ''''He is¡­ strong, way too strong¡­


    ''''If my strength wasn''t limited here¡­ I would be able to give a better fight¡­ Damn it!'''' God Zephyros mmed his shield on the ground and grunted in pain as he stood up with a painful look.


    Soon, Isaac had turned all the meteor-sized boulders to powder. Then, he immediately shifted his gaze to God Zephyros and began running at a speed that allowed him to cross the distance in a split second.


    ''''RAAAH!'''' God Zephyros smashed his shield towards Isaac, hoping to tten him like a bug.


    However, Isaac effortlessly dodged it and jumped high up into the air. He saw the bright blue sky and had an idea.


    ''''Hehe¡­'''' He looked down and saw God Zephyros'' de again glowing in orange. He was preparing for hisst attack.


    ''''Thanks for clearing up the sky¡­ Now I can use the skill I had been waiting to use!'''' Isaac spun the gun around and aimed straight towards the crystal clear blue.


    ''''What is he about to do?'''' God Zephyros thought aloud while about to use his ultimate technique.


    ''''The skill I received when I reached level 500, haha!'''' Isaac grinned and slowly pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    The bullet ripped through the air and flew straight toward the sky. The loud bang reverberated across the Priesthood, and it looked like a rageful God had descended from the Heavens.


    Thus, Priests and Priestess immediately knelt down and prayed towards the skies, fearful that they might have angered the Gods.


    However, High Priest and High Priestess knew that it wasn''t that. They looked up to the sky, and soon their eyes showed fear and amazement.


    The yers heard something burning and falling rapidly. With confused looks, they turned toward the sky and immediately screamed in horror.


    In the sky, a ming meteor was descending!


    ''''W-What!'''' God Zephyros eximed.


    ''''Hehe, mytest skill!'''' Isaac grinned.


    [Meteor Descent Used!]


    [Meteor Descent: Creates a bullet that resembles the power and danger of a meteor. However, the skill can kill the yer and reduce his stamina by 90%!]

 Chapter 466 Gods Menace

    Chapter 466 God''s Menace


    The City of Priesthood was in a state of panic. Everyone was enjoying their usual daily routine, but then a meteor appeared in the sky, with a sea of mes surrounding it!


    The sky turned from bright blue to crimson red!


    The citizens knelt on the pavement and began praying. They thought that they made Gods angry, and now they were paying the price.


    "Meteor, what the hell?!" The yers screamed in the streets. They started to find shelter in hopes of surviving the iing doom.


    The yers on top of the mountain had lost all their hopes. With helpless looks, they watched as the meteor descended toward them.


    However, High Priest and Priestess noticed that the meteor might not hit them. The meteor turned smaller the closer it got to the ground. The destination seemed to be the bottom of the mountain!


    Inside the Boss Room.


    God Zephyros finally gathered enough of his Godly energy into the strike. A slight wary was on his face, but his pride overcame the fear, and he unleashed his attack on the iing meteor.


    "Spring''s Destruction!" God Zephyros'' knees bent, and then he jumped straight up. He was suddenly flying towards the meteor!


    With his tight grip on the sword, he gritted his teeth and screamed, "RAAAAAAAH!"


    He swung the sword in a crescent-shaped sh, and the crimson red sky got reced by an orange hue that nketed over the sky like a long sheet.


    "Spring''s Destruction!" An orange-colored sword sh left the de and flew straight toward the ming meteor.


    Soon, the two destructive powers shed.


    BOOM!


    The sword sh tried to cut through the ming meteor. However, the crimson red immediately overpowered the color of spring and destroyed the sword sh!


    "I-Impossible!" God Zephyros realized that he was in danger. He could feel already feel his skin boiling as the meteor got closer and closer.


    With onest survival attempt, he made another sh with all his godly strength behind it.


    BOOM!


    He hammered the sword into the meteor, and the curved de slightly managed to cut through the solid meteor. However, it only managed to cut 5 cm before all the velocity was gone!


    "It''s so tough!" God Zephyros then felt danger as the meteor fell straight into his head!


    "NO!"


    BOOM!


    The citizens of Priesthood saw the weird phenomenon. Suddenly, someone attacked the meteor but lost miserably. Then, the meteornded on the figure, and it suddenly exploded, sending the figure flying straight toward the ground.


    BOOM!


    God Zephyros'' bloodied figure crashed on the Boss Room''s floors, and arge dust cloud appeared.


    The meteors broken pieces surprisingly disappeared. If those ming partsnded on the City, everything would have turned to ashes.


    "Ugh¡­" God Zephyros climbed out of the crater and spat mouthfuls of blood. He saw that he had only 1% HP left¡ªone attack would be enough to take his life.


    Then, he heard footsteps echoing behind him.


    "Hah¡­" With a strained chuckle, he turned around to look at unharmed Isaac, "Fine¡­ you win."


    Isaac strapped the gun on his back and nodded. Then, he turned around toward the portal that led to Autumn Realm. He was about to start walking toward it, but then God Zephyros spoke.


    "Just¡­ how high is your level?" He managed to utter his words out of his bloodied mouth even though half of his body got burnt badly, and golden blood was covering his face.


    Isaac opened his interface and made it visible to everyone. He did that out of respect toward God.

    "Hmm, what is your level without limitations?" Isaac asked.


    "Sigh¡­ 700." God Zephyros revealed. It was a level that was crazy high, but in his opinion, he would be nothing but a stepping stone for future heroes.

 Chapter 467 City of Fall

    Chapter 467 City of Fall


    Everyone directed their gazes toward the sky. The majestic golden words adorned the skies, and each word brought a shock to their hearts.


    The yers on top of High Temple Mountain screamed in ecstasy.


    "I knew it!" The male yer grabbed his friend''s shoulder and shook her recklessly, "It didn''t take even an hour!"


    "Oh my gosh¡­" Her mouth was "O" shaped while her brown eyes gazed toward the golden letters. The previous crimson sky was now in beautiful golden color.


    "Lord Wraith did it!" The yers eximed.


    "He was the first one to reach Boss Room and cleared it on the first try?!"


    "Autumn Realm is finally open!"


    The yers realized that the Autumn Realm was in the dungeon''s depths. Getting there seemed to be impossible!


    "High Priest, and Priestess, can everyone enter the dungeon now?!" One of the yers shouted toward lofty-looking High Priest and High Priestess.


    "No, only one person is still allowed to enter." Matilda, The High Priestess, said with her melodious tone. Even after the public pressure was attacking her, she looked unfazed.


    "Then how are we supposed to reach the Boss Room?!"


    "Do you expect everyone to be as strong as Lord Wraith?! This is bullshit!"


    Robert and Matilda exchanged nces. They nodded and firmly stood their ground.


    The yers'' enraged shouts filled the mountain.


    ¡­


    In City of Maidenhood, Spring Realm.


    The streets got suddenly filled with screams of the yers. Everyone turned to look at the golden sky and saw the majestic letters adorning the skies.


    Inside a luxurious cafe.


    Lord Kalzer lowered his cup and looked out of the window towards the skies. His eyes rippled, and his heart began pounding rapidly first time in a while.


    "Lord Wraith¡­ I guess he truly deserves that title¡­ Sigh, we cannot lose our yer base to Priesthood. Thus¡­ I have to clear the Dungeon tomorrow."


    ¡­


    In real-life.


    The news channels turned to "Breaking News" as an excited-looking female News Anchor appeared with flushed cheeks.


    "Everyone, we apologize for the sudden interruption, but a great achievement happened in White Online just a minute ago!


    "The Dungeon in Priesthood had been cleared, and the Autumn Realm had officially opened!


    "Surprisingly, it wasn''t Lord Kalzer and yers of Maidenhood who got the first clear. Instead, it was Priesthood and yer Wraith!


    "This was the first bit of good news this week, and now yers of White Online has a whole new Realm to be explored!"


    The pedestrians stopped walking in the streets and stared at the news, astonished by what they just saw. An image of yer Wraith appeared on the screen and caused several heart throbs among the pedestrians.


    The News Anchor excitedly talked about him, and the name Wraith finally reached the mainstream media!


    Thousands of news stations worldwide showed an identical picture of Isaac and under the picture put the title "Lord Wraith"


    Soon, the news about Lord Wraith and his first clear reached every corner of the world, and the citizens cheered in joy. They were finally one stop closer to the end of the White Online!


    ¡­


    Inside the Boss Room.


    Isaac took out a teleportation pearl and tossed it over to God Zephyros.


    "Eh?" God Zephyros caught the pearl and frowned.


    "After I enter the Portal, can you teleport the Portal out of here?"


    "Ah¡­ sure." God Zephyros stood up with his hand on his chest, "Where do you want me to teleport it to?"


    "To High Temple''s yard is fine. My fellow yers must be wanting to enter." Isaac waved his hand and stepped into the blue portal.


    "He is a strange one¡­" God Zephyros walked toward the Portal and touched it with the pearl. Then, an image of the High Temple''s yard popped up in his memory, and soon the whole portal disappeared.


    The Teleportation Pearl then cracked and disappeared.


    God Zephyros rubbed his burnt chest and waved his hand. Suddenly, the destroyed ceiling fixed itself, and all the damage disappeared.


    ¡­


    "Whew¡­" Isaac inhaled a fresh breath of air. The air was quite cold, with a chilly wind breezing past him.


    "A tree?" Several meters from him, there was a grayish tree with no leaves. Orange leaves littered the ground and fully covered the green grass yard.


    Behind the tree were roads that led left and right. A modern-looking building stood on the other side of the road, with ten buildings on that side and the same number on Isaac''s side.


    It looked like a modern neighborhood with a well-maintained road, yards with leaves littering the ground, and nice two-story houses.


    "This is¡­ Autumn Realm?" It wasn''t what Isaac expected. It looked rtively modern and could get mistaken for a neighborhood from Autumnd. He had seen pictures from other Continents, and this looked quite familiar.


    Ding! Ding!


    [Wee to City of Fall!]


    "City of Fall¡­" Isaac murmured.


    Creak¡­


    The door of the neighboring house opened, and a middle-aged man with curly hair appeared while carrying a ck stic bag in his left hand. He was yawning while walking toward the garbage bin.


    He opened the garbage bin, threw the trash bag inside, and turned around. But then, his eyes saw a strange white-haired man looking straight at him.


    "Hmm?" The middle-aged man''s fatigue disappeared, and he asked, "Are you our new neighbor?"


    "Neighbor?" Isaac turned around and saw a simr two-story house. He thought he randomly spawned in some random person''s yard. However, then he noticed the sign on the front door. It said "Wraith".


    "Well, wee to Fall." The middle-aged man said after stopping in the doorway. He crossed his arms while leaning against the door and asked, "Are you new here?"


    He asked because of Isaac''s strange paleplexion and odd clothes.


    "Yes, can you tell me where exactly I am?" Isaac asked the first question that appeared in his mind.


    The middle-aged man thought it was quite a strange question but answered happily, "Young fe, you are in City of Fall¡ªthe only city in the whole Autumn Realm!"


    "Wait, Autumn Realm has only one city?!" Isaac eximed with surprise.


    "Yeah, there are a lot of towns, but only one City!" The middle-aged man then frowned and looked at Isaac with a deeper look. There was something strange about the white-haired man as if there was an invisible aura encircling him.

 Chapter 468 The Killer

    Chapter 468 The Killer


    "Wow¡­ This is indeed different from other ces." Isaac thought aloud and turned to look at the middle-aged man, "How big is this ce?"


    "Big¡­" The middle-aged manughed while holding his stomach, "Enormous, I think it would take me ten years to walk through the entire City!"


    "I see¡­" Isaac wiped his sweat, "Thanks for the information."


    "No problem." The middle-aged man waved his left hand and entered the house. The door closed behind him, and the lights in the living room suddenly lit up.


    Isaac went straight to the door, put his hand on the door handle, and tried to open the door. Surprisingly, the door opened, and a fresh view of the brand-new house greeted him.


    "Wow¡­" Isaac entered the house and looked at the freshly painted walls, new furniture, and clean floors.


    Bam!


    The door closed.


    Isaac saw a bowl on top of a cab. It had a pair of keys, which seemed to be the key to the house and garage.


    He picked them up and stored them in the inventory. Then, he entered the living room, and it looked quite modern.


    Except, there wasn''t any electric equipment, and the only source of entertainment seemed to be the full bookshelves and several board games on the shelves.


    There was a firece with several couches and a table made of limestone.


    On top of the low table was another bowl with a map and a scrap of paper.


    Isaac picked up the paper and opened it.


    It was a note that said congrattions for being the first one to arrive on Autumn Realm, and the reward of such achievement was this house.


    Everyone else would get spawned in one of the towns and have to find the City alone.


    Then, Isaac checked the map, and it showed the enormous City. The map was disyed in a bird-eye view, and all the buildings looked like tiny dots because the City was gigantic!


    There were words written "You are here" that told his current position. The neighborhood looked tiny dot on the map, but luckily it was quite close to the center of the City.


    There was also another X-mark drawn on the map, which was the location of the Portal that leads to Winter Realm!


    "It''s not far¡­" Isaac murmured as he tried to count the distance between him and the portal. It was a few hour-long trip but doable.


    ''I wonder what test it is¡­ I doubt it''s another dungeon.'' Isaac murmured and even thought about renting a Carriage. He doubted everyone who drove Carriages was simr to the drivers in Stronglord.


    Beep! Beep!


    Isaac opened the interface after receiving several messages. They came from Luna, who congratted him. He answered the messages quickly and then closed the interface.


    "Now¡­ I need to get used to this City, and then prepare for my trip to Happugh¡­"


    ¡­


    Somewhere in Happugh¡­


    "We received the first images of the two assants of the infamous ''Chain Breaker''s Battle''. The images show two rtively young men seemingly arguing." The news anchor said with his stoic tone.


    "That photo could have been taken only several moments before the battle had begun. The picture was taken by an elderly person who perished in the fight between the two Chain Breakers. However, her camera somehow stayed intact, and the police managed to retrieve the photo.


    "The police must be already aware of their identity, and it will be a matter of time before the victims'' rtives get the justice they deserve¡­"


    The TV screen shed with lights in a dark room. The screen showed the picture and the news anchor speaking with a solemn face.


    Opposite the TV, a tired-looking man with dark brown hair and ck pupils looked at the screen with his lips slightly curving upward.


    "Hahaha¡­" Almost immediately afterughing, the man covered his mouth with his face turning slightly redder, "Ha¡­ Ha¡­ Ha¡­"


    He was trying to subdue hisughter but couldn''t, "Hahahahaha!"


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    From the other side of the wall, a loud sound echoed, which came from someone kicking the wall.


    "Hmm?" The man''sughter died down, and he frowned while looking at the wall with its paint peeled off. A loud sound was stilling from the next-door apartment, and there was a mix of TV sound, shouting, and loud noises.


    "Ugh¡­ shut up¡­" The man stood up and staggered to the refrigerator with almost bone-like legs. His body was also almost only bones.


    He opened the refrigerator door and picked up a bottle of milk. He opened the cork and gulped the liquid down his throat.


    After the bottle was empty, he crushed it effortlessly and threw it into the trash bag.


    "Arghh¡­" The man suddenly felt his heart aching, like someone was scratching it!


    "What the hell¡­" He put his palms on the kitchen desk and calmly breathed in and out, trying to stop the unbearable pain.


    Cold sweat poured down his dirty skin.


    "I never should have yed it¡­" The man turned around with a hateful gaze and looked straight at the Mythical VR Helmet sitting on top of a chair!


    "White Online¡­ the ce to achieve your dreams¡­ it''s all lie!" The man grabbed a ss cup and threw it across the room. It shattered after colliding with the wall.


    BAM! BAM! BAM!


    The loud noisesing from the neighbor''s apartment still hadn''t ceased.


    "Shut up¡­" He held his ears and bit his lips, "Legacy¡­ Why did I find that Legacy?"


    "I thought it would make me rich¡­ that''s what legacies were supposed to do¡­ right?" The man looked at the nearby reflection of his face and asked himself, "Why didn''t I be rich? Wasn''t my Legacy one of the greatest?"


    "Mythical Legacy¡­ I heard someone with that legacy became a multi-millionaire¡­ but¡­ why am I still living in this dump?


    "Why am I still poor?"


    "WHY!"


    This man was the perfect example of how legacy could affect a person. Legacies could make a person evil or good. However, rarely would theypletely change the person''s personality and make them a whole new person.


    However¡­ This person turned from a timid middle-aged man to one of the scariest people in the entire world!


    His name¡­ Henry Feather, 38 years old, had no wife, no children, and had been working as a plumber for 15 years.


    However, the Legacy turned him from plumber to killer¡­


    His Legacy¡­ Jack The Ripper, ss: Killer!

 Chapter 469 All-In-One

    Chapter 469 All-In-One


    Somewhere in Westlow.


    "No¡­ no¡­ no¡­" A man with ripped-apart hair held his face while crying in the corner of his basement.


    The bruising and swelling covered his entire face while the bandages wrapped most of his body. The tearstains covered his face alongside the bruises.


    Knock! Knock!


    On top of the stairs, there was someone knocking on the wooden door.


    "Mint Konfig, open this door, now!" The sound of knocking became even louder after the shout. The voice was deep and emitted strong energy.


    "No¡­ please leave me alone¡­ I am sorry¡­" Mint, the bruised man, said with a teary tone. He had dark brown hair with ck pupils. He was quite young, around 20 years of age.


    "I am sorry¡­ sorry¡­ sorry¡­ It was an ident¡­" Mint''s whole body trembled like he was suffering from an intense cold.


    BOOM!


    The door suddenly was sted apart, and the wooden pieces flew across the basement. Three suited men stepped down the stairs from the upstairs while a scabbard with a sheathed sword hung from their waist.


    Their hands touched the M-lettered hilt, and the golden-colored de slowly peeked from the sheath. These three men were part of Sword of Myth!


    "We are from Sword of Myth, and you are arrested for murder, Chain Breaker Mint!" The three men said in the same tone. It was like they were the same person with identical faces and voices.


    "No!" Mint cried out loud with tears flying around him, "He was the one who provoked me first and wanted to fight! I was just protecting myself!"


    The three men exchanged nces. They gulped, and their grips tightened on the swords. They knew that a person like Mint was the most dangerous of them all.


    A level above 450, desperate and feeling like he was being wronged. A person like him was the most dangerous kind!


    "Why won''t you believe me?!" Mint''s steel-like fists tightened, and crimson veins protruded underneath the skin. It looked like he was almost exploding!


    The three men unsheathed their golden-ded swords and went into their shing stances.


    However, then two elderly folks appeared on top of the stairs with teary visages.


    "M-Mint¡­ Please¡­ stop¡­"


    "Grandma¡­ Grandpa¡­" Mint''s breath stopped for a moment, but then he muttered, "Y-You two¡­ don''t believe me?"


    His grandparents looked at each other with sad faces. They then averted their gazes and said with low voices.


    "Mint¡­ you have done a terrible thing¡­ please, stop this¡­"


    "No¡­ no¡­ no¡­ NO!" Mint reeled in his face with his face turning crimson. A tear of blood dropped down from his eye sockets, and the crimson veins started pumping more strength into his fist.


    "Watch out!" The three men shouted and immediately shed their swords, intending to stop Mint from making even one attack!


    However, they greatly underestimated Mint''s attack prowess and speed!


    "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Mist''s fist ripped across the air and smashed against the wind. Once the punch stopped, the air cracked, and a crimson-colored veil of darkness surrounded the whole room.


    But then, the crimson veil popped, and a loud explosion destroyed the entire house!


    BOOM!


    The two-story building copsed, and even the nearby buildings had their walls blown out!


    "M-Mint¡­" His grandparents reached out with their hands before drawing theirst breaths. They were lying on the pavement with burnt bodies and saddened faces. Their hands stopped moving, and they died.


    The three men were trying to stand up with their suits badly burnt and a number of injuries around their torsos. However, they were still alive.


    "IT WASN''T MY FAULT!" Mint stomped out of the broken house with bloody tears flowing down. The crimson veins surrounded his entire body, and it looked like they were nearly rupturing!


    The three men stood up with grim faces. They were terrified at Mint''s physical prowess. They now understood why they couldn''t find the second assant of the incident.


    They immediately realized that the one who "attacked" Mint was dead. Maybe not even his bones were left if he got hit by the punch of equal strength as Mint just demonstrated.


    "Please¡­ just leave!" Mint reeled in his fist and was about to unleash another heaven-defying punch.


    As the three men prepared for their deaths, a calm voice came behind them.


    "Let me handle this."


    "Eh?!" The three men turned around in surprise. Arge shadow loomed over them, belonging to a handsome ck-haired man of around 2 meters in height. His well-carved facial features seemed to emit endless surges of strength.


    His bulging muscles slowly ripped open his navy blue suit, and a tattooed chest became visible. His chest and back had a tattoo of a golden sword with an M-lettered hilt.


    "S-SIR!" The three men stood up with excited shouts.


    "Let me handle this." He said with a grin and stepped forth.


    The crimson fist of Mint had already been charged up, and now it was even more powerful than before!


    "Haahhh¡­ you are Brawler¡­ Interesting, this is the first time since I have been fighting against a person with the same ss as me in real life!" The man ripped open his suit, revealing the rest of his well-toned body with rock-hard abs.


    [Name: All-In-One]


    [Legacy: Bruce Lee]


    [Legacy Rank: Mythical]


    The three men gulped and muttered, "All-In-One¡­ Captain of Sword of Myth, and rank one among all the Captains!"


    "The second strongest member of Sword of Myth¡­ Only slightly below our General!"


    All-In-One grinned and swiped his ck hair back, revealing his deep brown eyes, "So, what is your Legacy, Mass-Murderer Mint?"


    ''''RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!'''' Mint''s face morphed into extreme anger.


    [Name: Mint Konfig]


    [Legacy: Zhen Wu]


    [Legacy Rank: Special]


    "Sir, his Legacy is Zhen Wu!"


    "Oh¡­ The so-called God of Martial Arts¡­ Hmph." All-In-One wasn''t impressed, "Does not matter. My fist shall conquer!"


    "DIEEEEEEEE!" Mist crimson-coated fist shredded the air as it flew straight towards All-In-One''s face!


    "So much anger¡­" All-In-One shook his head and moved his right hand to interject the fist. Once the crimson-coated fist was about to hit him, he used his wrist and deflected the punch enough to miss his body!


    BOOM!


    The crimson coating exploded and struck the nearby building. As the building copsed, an empty house became visible.


    Before the fight, All-In-One had evacuated the entire neighborhood, but unfortunately, Mint''s grandparents were too stubborn and didn''t want to leave!


    "W-W-What¡­" Mint''s eyes shook as All-In-One deflected his attack. First time since removing his Chains, he felt genuine fear!


    "Don''t let anger consume you. It will make you weak!" All-In-One lifted his right leg, and his kicknded squarely on Mint''s neck!


    "UGH!" Mint''s eyes rolled backward. However, at thest moment, he managed to keep himself from passing out, even though the kick''s recoil made his vision blurry.


    "Oh, so durable¡­" All-In-One grinned and then lifted his left leg, "Crescent Kick, Eclipse!"

 Chapter 470 Strongest Zhen wu

    Chapter 470 Strongest Zhen wu


    ''''Eh?'''' Mint felt like a one-ton truck just struck him in the chest. His entire ribcage broke just from a single kick, and his insides began turning inside out.


    ''''Is this¡­ how death feels like?''''


    ''''I thought¡­ Zhen Wu¡­ was strongest¡­'''' Tears of blood rolled down his bruised cheeks.


    Zhen Wu was one of the few referred to as ''''God'''' even though they were mere humans. The reason was because of his immense Martial Arts knowledge that even rivaled the Gods!


    There was a ''''true'''' God of Martial Arts called Xuanwu!


    Zhen Wu''s name also meant Xuanwu¡ªhowever, they were a different person!


    Xuanwu was the God of Martial Arts who lived in God Realm, on his own mountainside, specially created for Martial Arts practitioners. It was a dreand for everyone who dreamed of learning the art of Martial Arts.


    History books said that Zhen Wu, the person hailed as God of Martial Arts, was the sessor of Xuanwu and was even trained by him!


    ''''Zhen Wu¡­ wouldn''t lose¡­ so, why did I lose?'''' Mint slowly raised his head and stared straight into All-In-One''s brown eyes.


    ''''Cuff him,'''' All-In-One said towards his subordinates and pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his back pocket. He pulled one out, lit it up, and took a puff of smoke.


    Mint''s broken limbs got cuffed with special-made handcuffs that hindered the usage of powers.


    They took him to their cars and immediately drove off towards their headquarters. Luckily, Mint''s vitality was so immensely high that he wouldn''t die from such injuries.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' A puff of smoke left All-In-One''s mouth, ''''Zhen Wu¡­ I would want to fight the real one, and not fake¡­''''


    He tossed the cigarette away and pulled out his phone. He received a text message that told him his next destination.


    ''''Hmm¡­ Happugh, why do I need to go there?''''


    ¡­


    The City of Fall.


    The streets and roads were well-maintained. The carriages drove on the roads without disturbing the pedestrians.


    The pedestrians walked peacefully in the semi-cold weather with warm clothing. A breeze of wind drifted across the air.


    ''''I need a smaller map¡­'''' Isaac was also walking in the streets. He had the enormous map in his hand, but he could barely use it to navigate through the streets.


    He folded the map until it was the size of his palm. Then, he stored it in the inventory and continued roaming the streets.


    As Isaac walked past a dark alleyway, he felt a strange sensation at the back of his skull. He turned to the alleyway and saw several hooded figures sitting among themselves. They seemed to be quite sinister.


    The hooded figures turned their heads towards Isaac and immediately became alert.


    ''''What''cha looking at?!'''' A hooded figure with half of his face filled with tattoos asked with obvious anger.


    ''''Nothing, it''s just that you four look extremely shady.'''' Isaac grinned and walked into the alleyway with his hands slipped into pockets.


    ''''Huh?!'''' The four hooded figures stood up with sharp items found in their hands. They were all holding daggers.


    ''''You want to die?!'''' The tattooed man threatened while showing his sharp-ded dagger.


    ''''Hmm¡­ Nah.'''' Isaac''s grin grewrger, and he lunged forwards!


    The hooded figures flinched and appearedpletely off-guard. However, they quickly regained theirposure and shed toward the iing Isaac with their daggers.


    ''''Bad grip, decreasing the strength of the shes!'''' Isaac sent a straight punch toward the tattooed person''s face.


    Smack!


    As his punchnded perfectly on the tattooed nose, the hooded man''s eyes rolled backward as he flew across the alleyway and collided with the wall.


    The three daggers inched closer to Isaac. However, the holders of those daggers looked frightened underneath their hoods. Free?ebnovel.c?m.


    ''''To disarm people with arms is quite simple. Strike their hands.'''' Isaac smashed his fist towards the right and struck the hands of the three hooded figures. The daggers flew away from their grasp and dropped to the pavement.


    ''''ARGH!'''' They screamed as their hands swelled and bruised. A simple-looking strikepletely crushed their hands!


    ''''Y''know¡­ I nned to use this street as my future headquarters till I leave for Winter Realm¡­ I can''t let some thugs do their criminal acts here.''''


    ''''Fuck you!'''' The three hooded figures lunged forwards. Their fists reeled in, and their punches were about to get unleashed.


    ''''Sigh¡­ jab.'''' Isaac put his arms in front of his face, and suddenly his right arm ripped across the air, and the fistnded powerfully on the hooded figure''s face!


    The simple jab crushed the hooded figure''s noses and teeth, causing them to pass out with bloodied faces.


    As they fell down, Isaac turned around and left the alleyway with his blue blood-covered fists slipped into his pockets.


    ''''This ce is quite nice, and I hope there isn''t a lot of criminal activity¡­ That would ruin my business.'''' Isaac pondered while searching for a store to be bought.


    Soon he finally reached a part of the City with stores, restaurants, and roadside stalls.


    ''''Oh.'''' Isaac stopped and turned to his left. He saw a side of the street crowded with customers and stores. However, there was one store that was dark and deste.


    A single flyer hung barely from the door, saying that the building was on-sold. However, not even one person nced at the flyer¡ªinstead walked past the building with quicker steps than before.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac crossed the road and stopped before the flyer. He peeked into the building, which was well-maintained, with almost nothing toin about. It was miles better than his previous store''s condition when he first bought it.


    ''''Hey, young man.'''' Like clockwork, a shrewd-looking man with a humble look appeared next to him, ''''Are you interested in buying this estate?''''


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac narrowed his eyes and thought it was quite suspicious. However, a small smile crept up on his face because he thought it would seem quite amusing.


    ''''Sure, how much?'''' Without caring much, he asked for the price with a calm smile.


    The shrewd-looking man immediately pulled out an key and handed it over, ''''It''s free!''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac took the keys with a confused look, ''''Why?''''


    ''''Well, because it''s haunted.'''' The shrewd-looking man wiped his sweat with a relieved look, ''I thought I would always be known as the person who owned a haunted house¡­ How embarrassing it has been, but finally, I got rid of it!''


    ''''Haunted? Then I don''t want it.'''' Isaac tried to return the keys, but the shrewd-looking man had already started running away.


    ''''NO REFUNDS!'''' He screamed as he disappeared into the crowd.


    ''''Argh, shameless.'''' Isaac snorted and turned to the store with slight expectations, ''''This better be worth my excitement.''''

 Chapter 471 The Ghost

    Chapter 471 The Ghost


    Creak¡­


    Isaac slowly opened the door and stepped inside. The air was quite chilly, but it was fresh without even a speck of dust clogging up his nose.


    However¡­ Then something unexpected urred.


    Smack!


    An invisible punchnded on Isaac''s cheek!


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac nced to his right, and his cheek had a fist mark. However, he barely felt it, like someone was trying to tickle him.


    ''''Someone punched me?''''


    Smack!


    Then, another punchnded on his chest, but Isaac stood his ground with a nonchnt expression.


    ''''Stop it.'''' Isaac waved his hand. However, his hand only touched air and nothing else.


    ''''Hahaha, weak!'''' An arrogant voice echoed across the store. Then, an outline of a ghost appeared on the ceiling.


    The Ghost was a muscr man with a buzzcut and arrogant-looking face. He had a long nose bridge with sharp eyebrows.


    The Ghost raised his chin like he was above everyone else.


    Isaac rubbed his cheek, ''''Why did you hit me?''''


    ''''This is my house, and you are trespassing!'''' The Ghost shouted and reeled in his fist. Then, suddenly he disappeared and appeared behind Isaac. His punchnded on his back. However, it didn''t faze the white-haired man even the slightest.


    ''''Stop it, annoying.'''' Isaac''s lightning-fast punch shredded through the air and went straight through the Ghost''s face.


    ''''Tch¡­''''


    ''''Hahaha, weak!'''' The Ghost showed his tongue and floated back to the ceiling, ''''You can''t hit me~''''


    ''''Hahahaha¡­'''' Isaac''s calmughter reverberated across the building. However, suddenly the ground exploded as he jumped straight towards the ceiling with a smiling face.


    He reeled in both his fists and threw thousands of punches toward the Ghost. However, each punch went straight through.


    Still, Isaac didn''t stop, and the speed of his punches increased. Each punch was strong enough to kill an ordinary person. However, they were useless against the Ghost.


    ''''You cannot hit me!'''' The Ghostughed and punched toward Isaac''s left cheek.


    As the punch got closer, suddenly Isaac pulled his head back, and the Ghost''s fist missed him!


    ''''Eh?'''' The Ghost''s eyes shook, ''''Y-You dodged my mighty punch?''''


    ''''Mighty?'''' Isaac grinned, ''''Even my little brother''s punch is stronger!''''


    ''''L-Liar!'''' The Ghost''s face turned red.


    ''''The Ghost''s Weakness Number 1, if they get angry, they return to the world of living for a split second.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' The Ghost''s ghostly body started having real flesh. However, as soon as the flesh returned, it began fading away!


    ''''Split second is all I need!'''' Isaac''s bulging fist smashed through the Ghost''s chest!


    ''''UGH!'''' It was the first time since his death when the Ghost felt true pain. He looked down at his chest and saw a muscr arm going straight through his body.


    ''''I-¡­'''' The Ghost''s flesh body disappeared, and he returned to his ghostly form. He slowly floated back to the ground with a pale face and his palm on his chest.


    Isaded on the ground with lips curved upward, ''''You done?''''


    ''''I-¡­ I am sorry.'''' The Ghost knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the floor, ''''My mighty punch is no match for you.''''


    Isaac looked at the destroyed ground and asked, ''''Can you fix the floor?''''


    ''''Eh? Oh¡­ sure.'''' The Ghost phased through the floor, and suddenly the destroyed part of the wooden floor got fixed.


    Then, the Ghost returned from underground and returned to his kneeling posture.


    ''''Interesting¡­'''' Isaac thought aloud and asked, ''''You can fix anything?''''


    ''''W-Well, yes, everything that isn''t living.'''' The Ghost answered with a timid tone.


    ''''Alright, from now on, you are my butler!'''' Isaac pointed at the Ghost with a grin.


    ''''Eh?!'''' The Ghost''s jaw dropped, ''''B-Butler?!''''


    ''''Yeah, I need one.'''' Isaac trailed his finger on the window frame, and slight dirt got stuck on his finger, ''''If there is someone to clean for me, I can spend time to do something else.''''


    ''''O-Oh, can I refuse?'''' The Ghost asked with the twitching eyebrow.


    ''''No.'''' Isaac replied, ''''If you do good work¡­ I can make you human again.''''


    ''''What?!'''' The Ghost jolted up, ''''H-How?! You are only Human!''''


    ''''Hehe¡­ Ever heard of Fountain of Life?'''' Isaac held the keys to the building in his hand and tossed them up. After the keysnded back on his palm, he tossed them back up.


    ''''Fountain of Life¡­ Isn''t that just a myth?'''' The Ghost asked with a frown, ''''No one had found the Fountain of Life here, not even after the ten greatest explorers went through the entire Realm.''''


    ''''That''s right, Fountain of Life is a myth.'''' Isaac leaned against the wall and smiled, ''''Reason why you guys haven''t found it is because it''s not in here. It''s in a ce called Dungeon Realm¡­''''


    ''''Dungeon Realm?''''


    ''''Yes, back in the days, I thought it was in Summer Realm, but when I tried to do the Dungeon to go back to the Fountain of Life¡­ The dungeon waspletely different!''''


    ''''Thus, my long research began, and I found out a ce called Dungeon Realm¡­ A ce where all Dungeons were created¡­''''


    ''''Dungeon Realm¡­'''' The Ghost said aloud. He thought that he was learning something that was way above his pay grade.


    ''''Dungeons have to have a ce where they spawn!'''' Isaac pointed towards the Ghost and said, ''''Ever heard of Spawn Dimension?''''


    The Ghost shook his head.


    ''''I thought Spawn Dimension was a ce where only monsters spawned. However, I was wrong.


    ''''Everything spawns on the Spawn Dimension, even the Dungeons. That ce''s origins are still mysterious, but that''s the ce where the evil lurks¡­ After the gateways to the Spawn Dimension appeared in the White Online¡­


    ''''They corrupted everything that resembled the monsters of the dimension. Thus, the wild animals in White Online became semi-monsters.


    ''''All the Dungeons are in that dimension, and also the Dungeon where the Fountain of Life, and¡­ that person is!''''


    ''''T-Then, how should we find it?'''' The Ghost thought it was quite hard to find it then.


    ''''Good question, but I don''t need to find it.'''' Isaac pulled out a teleportation pearl from his inventory and grinned, ''''What if I have already been there?''''


    ''''W-W-What¡­ You have seen the Fountain of Life?!''''


    ''''Yes¡­ and, I think it''s time for me to visit my old friend¡­'''' Isaac turned to the Ghost and smiled, ''''Will you be my butler?''''


    ''''Y-Yes!'''' The Ghost kowtowed three times and snapped his fingers. The entire building was suddenly shining, and every dirt disappeared. With only one snap, the entire building got cleaned.

 Chapter 472 Organization of Dreams

    Chapter 472 Organization of Dreams


    City of Priesthood, High Temple.


    Half an hour had passed since the Realm Portal to Autumn Realm appeared in the High Temple''s yard. At first, the yers were euphoric and hurried inside the portal.


    The yers continued swarming toward the portals while chatting.


    "It must have been Lord Wraith who teleported it here, right?"


    "Of course. Who else?"


    "Thanks to him, we don''t have to wait another month to enter Autumn Realm!"


    "Hmm, look at that." A yer pointed at the ordinary Realm Portal. Several tanned men and women exited one of the portals and turned towards Autumn Realm Portal.


    "What about them?"


    "They aren''t from Priesthood." The yer chuckled, "It seems that there are impatient yers. They traveled long distances toe here to enter Autumn Realm from here."


    "But why?"


    "Well, you forgot that this is the only Autumn Realm avable for the yers." The yer grinned and patted the shoulder of his friend, "I am from South Continent, and I have heard a lot of negativements about South yers, but no one dares to utter a sound anymore."


    "Why is that?"


    "Because we have a yer that rivals the Lords, Ladies, Kings, and Queens¡ªWraith!"


    From the long stairway, a beautiful ck-haired woman appeared wearing a summer blouse and a cute skirt that reached her knees.


    Her skin''s color was like snow, extremely delicate, and her hair flowed like calm rivers.


    The yers who saw her felt their hearts stop. It was like the sun''s light lost its mor next to her.


    "So many people¡­" Luna thought aloud with a slightly nervous tone. She walked past the dumbstruck yers and joined the line that led to the Autumn Realm Portal.


    "H-Hey, isn''t that?"


    "Y-Yes, Bookstore Goddess¡­"


    "Lord Wraith''s famous girlfriend¡­"


    "I am so jealous of him, shit¡­"


    The yers whispered among their friends while slowly moving towards the portals. The line seemed endless as it circled the High Temple.


    ''''Excuse me, miss Luna.'''' Luna flinched after someone suddenly talked to her. She turned slightly to the left and saw a tanned man approaching her.


    "E-Eh, yes?" Luna held the hem of her blouse and asked, "What is it?"


    "Ahem." Mister X cleared his throat and calmed down his beating heartbeat. He had learned to control his emotions perfectly, but even he had to agree that she was indeed quite beautiful.


    "I am from Sword of Myth. Can we have a quick chat?"


    "Eh?" Luna''s eyes widened out of surprise, ''Sword of Myth? What do they want from me?''


    Mister X walked next to her and moved at the same pace as the line, "Sword of Myth is an organization that is purely dream-based."


    "Dream?" Luna tilted her head in confusion.


    "Yes, the creator of Sword of Myth, our General, created this organization because of a dream.


    "His dream is World Peace, and our General is certain that the Chain Breakers are key to achieving that."


    ''World peace¡­'' Luna frowned and asked, "Why are you telling me this?"


    Mister X calmly smiled and continued, "The reason we capture evil Chain Breakers is because we believe we can treat them and steer them to the right path."


    "Sword of Myth is treating them in Tartarus?" Luna made a guess.


    "Hehe, correct." Mister X nodded with approval, "It''s not a prison. Instead Psychiatric Hospital."


    "O-Oh."


    "Chain Breakers are a great asset to make the world a better ce." Mister X turned to look at Luna''s beautiful face and continued, "Even if there are evil ones, they are still valuable."


    "Your boyfriend, Isaac, is one of three people we must get on our side."


    "I-Isaac?" Luna flinched after Mister X mentioned Isaac''s name. Almost immediately, her eyes turned frosty, ''Hmm¡­''


    "There are three people called the Three Myths, and they would be our three greatest assets to achieve World Peace." Mister X didn''t notice her cold look and continued, "Isaac is one of them, and I think he would listen to you.


    "If you would convince him to join, we would achieve great things together. At this rate, more Chain Breakers would appear, and we don''t have the manpower to keep everyone safe.


    "Having Isaac on our side would be immensely important. So, please talk to him, but for now, I gotta go. It was nice talking to you." Mister X slipped the hood back on and left the line. Soon, he disappeared into the crowd.


    Luna''s cold face didn''t disappear, ''I have bad feelings about them¡­ World Peace? Sounds like a good excuse to harm people.''


    Her tightly clenched fists loosened, and she noticed that there were only several yers left before her turn to enter the Portal.


    ''If they think they can manipte my love¡­'' Luna hid her face, and her crystal blue eyes had a tinge of darkness. She then noticed that it was her turn to enter the Portal. Without further ado, she stepped into the portal and disappeared from the Spring Realm.


    ¡­


    Autumn Realm, Town of Leaf.


    Whoosh!


    A cold wind drifted across the town.


    The portal shone brightly as yers continued appearing in the town. The town''s poption rose by double after the appearance of the yers.


    Then, the portal again shone, and Luna appeared with her beautiful face having a sweet smile. Her crystal blue eyes had their previous shine, and her face had its previous sweetness.


    She saw the crowded street. The yers asked the New-Gen Humans (NPC) about where they were. Their way of talking was more respectful than a year ago because they understood that they were real people.


    Then, she heard chatters of nearby yers.


    "I wonder if Lord Wraith is in this town¡­"


    "Probably not. I just heard from one of the New-Gen Humans that there are tens of thousands of towns, while only one City!"


    "One City?!"


    "Yeah, but anyway, the chance of Lord Wraith getting sent into this Town is incredibly small."


    "Yeah¡­ you are right, damn, I just want his autograph."


    Luna''s smile grew as she heard the whispers, ''Alright, Isaac told me that he was in the City of Fall¡­ That must be the only City in Autumn Realm. I only have to find a way to go there!''

 Chapter 473 All-America

    Chapter 473 All-America


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Mister X took off his VR Helmet and rubbed his painful neck. Behind him was the rock-hard bed with a mattress with barely any cushion.


    He wore Military Uniform that had camouge patterns. On his chest was an insignia of two golden lines and a golden star. His military rank was Lieutenant.


    He ced the Mythical VR Helmet on the shelf and stood up from the bed. After tidying up his bed neatly, he left the small room and stepped into a brightly lit room.


    There were soldiers walking, and after seeing Mister X, they saluted before continuing to walk.


    Mister X returned the salute and walked toward the end of the hallway. In there, he came face-to-face with a steel door. Two armed soldiers guarded it.


    They saluted and opened the door.


    Mister X nodded and entered themand deck. There were hundreds of monitors with hundreds of soldiers sitting while looking at the beeping monitors.


    There was arge seat in the middle of themand deck upied by a muscr man with a four-star insignia.


    ''''Lieutenant X is here to see the General!'''' Mister X saluted and shouted powerfully.


    The soldiers didn''t turn their heads away from the monitors.


    However, therge seat turned around, revealing the muscr man. He was a battle-hardened warrior with one long scar going over his left eye and short grayish hair.


    His mouth was curved upward, showing arge grin that also showed his white teeth.


    The military outfit tightly fit over his immensely muscr body.


    [Name: All-America]


    [Legacy: Typhon]


    [Legacy Rank: Godly Legacy]


    ''''X, what do you want?'''' General All-America''s voice was deep and powerful. The sound reverberated in the ears of everyone present.


    Mister X kept his saluting posture even though the sweat dripped down his face, ''''I met with Luna Snowflower, and she will talk to Isaac about joining us!''''


    General All-America sighed and shook his head, ''''Naive.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Mister X was taken aback.


    ''''She won''t say anything to him.'''' All-America turned the seat around, looking at the thousands of monitors, ''''She is Legacy Carrier of Hecate, meaning that she is way more dangerous than anyone would expect.''''


    ''''What do you mean, General?''''


    ''''Her pretty face might make people think she is a sweet and cheerful little girl. However, one spell of hers can destroy a City!''''


    ''''W-Wait, are you saying that she is Chain Breaker?!'''' Mister X asked with shock. If he knew, he would have tried to recruit her as well!


    ''''Why? Is it that hard to believe?'''' General All-America smirked.


    ''''Well¡­ I have met people who can kill without blinking, and they all give dangerous vibes like being stared at by wild beasts, but she¡­ It was like I was standing in the middle of a flower field¡­''''


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' General All-America''s boisterousughter echoed across the room and facility.


    ''''If she isn''t strong, then no one is! Luna is just hiding behind Isaac''s enormous shadows, but she is immensely strong!''''


    ''''W-Why is she staying out of the spotlight? Does she not desire to be famous?''''


    ''''She is in love.'''' General All-America rested his chin on top of his palm, ''''Fame and money don''t mean anything to her. That tiny mind of hers is upied with love, and it''s hard to break through that wall.


    ''''Everyone who even thinks about harming Isaac is her enemy. Currently, she must be extremely suspicious of you, and if she has even the slightest hunch of you being a danger to her beloved¡­''''


    General All-America turned around to look at pale Mister X, ''''You would be dead.''''


    Cold sweat drenched Mister X''s back, ''''H-How can we leave someone like her without supervision?!''''


    ''''Sigh, it''s impossible to do anything to her.'''' General All-America scratched his cheek, ''''Hecate is looking out for her like she is her actual daughter. Those two are crazy, beyond crazy, and you want to make enemies of those two?''''


    Mister X shook his head vigorously, ''''N-No!''''


    ''''I suggest you stay away from White Online for now.'''' General All-America scratched the back of his head and said, ''''There is an itch at the back of my skull like something bad would happen to us if you enter the game.''''


    ''''T-Then what should we do?'''' Mister X asked with a trembling body.


    ''''Well¡­'''' General All-America crossed his legs and pondered, ''''If we get Isaac to join us, Luna will also join, and we would get two cmities to our side¡­ However, Luna is basically a ticking time bomb, and if she even suspects us of doing anything harmful to Isaac, she would wipe us out.''''


    ''''B-But, you can defeat her, right?'''' Mister X asked with a hopeful gaze.


    ''''Yes, of course.'''' General All-America looked at his subordinate, ''''And?''''


    ''''T-Then, she wouldn''t be a problem, r-right?''''


    ''''What are you saying?'''' General All-America looked at Mister X like he was an idiot, ''''If I harm even strand of her hair, Isaac will kill me.''''


    ''''B-But, c-can''t you defeat Isaac?''''


    ''''Are you crazy? No, I can''t.'''' General All-America''s voice caused silence to engulf the facility. The soldiers looked at their General with shocked looks.


    ''''W-What?!''''


    ''''While Luna is crazy yandere, Isaac is like a force of nature. He might be still in his growing phase, and I might have a chance of defeating him, but with Luna and Isaac together, I can''t defeat them.''''


    ''''W-What about All-In-One?'''' Mister X sped his hands together, it almost looked like he was praying, ''''He could assist you, right?''''


    ''''This is above his pay grade.'''' General All-America covered his mouth and yawned, ''''Well, let''s just hope that Isaac will stay in Snowstar, in his own little Kingdom.''''


    Mister X sighed and nodded. He remembered that Isaac was far away from their headquarters.


    ''''Sir.'''' A soldier stood up with a saluting posture, ''''All-In-One had epted his next mission. He would go to Happugh to recruit a person who goes with the name of Henry Feather, Legacy Carrier of Jack The Ripper.''''


    ''''Alright.'''' General All-America turned his gaze towards the thousands of monitors. The monitors showed a satellite image of every City where Chain Breakers were.


    One of the biggest monitors showed the City of Snowstar, while one of the smaller monitors showed Happugh.


    ''''Well, I hope everything goes alright.'''' General All-America smiled and, with a rxed look, continued watching.


    At the moment, he had no idea that ten dayster, one of the biggest events in the current era would take ce.


    It included three sides, Sword of Myth''s All-In-One, Henry Feather The Killer, and Two Cmities.

 Chapter 474 lnside Tartarus

    Chapter 474 lnside Tartarus


    Inside a bright room with dozens of hospital equipment and beeping machines.


    A bruised man with white pupilsy on a metal table surrounded by white-d doctors. The man was unconscious.


    However, then the man twitched, and his eyelids fluttered before light returned to his pupils.


    "Ugh¡­" Mint Konfig grunted in pain and looked around with hazy vision. He could barely recognize the doctors, but then he felt something metallic clinging to his wrist and ankles.


    "W-Where am I..?"


    "You are in Tartarus, the ce where we will cure you." The Head Doctor of the Tartarus facility said while aligning his sses. He looked intellectual and cold.


    "Cure me?! There is nothing wrong with me!" Mint opened his bloodied mouth and tried to take a bite off Head Doctor''s arm but couldn''t reach it.


    The Head Doctor didn''t even flinch, "Like a rabid dog¡­"


    He took out the clipboard and read aloud Mint''s info, "Mint Konfig, mass murderer¡­ and you say nothing is wrong with you, hah."


    "Piss off!" Mint tightly clenched his fists, and soon the crimson veins surrounded his arms. After the room turned much hotter, the crimson veins suddenly disappeared!


    "E-Eh, what?" He looked around with confusion, wondering why his abilities weren''t working.


    "You can''t use your abilities here." The Head Doctor tapped the cuffs with a pencil and said, "These nullified your abilities."


    "M-my abilities¡­" Mint murmured with a defeated look. After receiving his powerful Legacy, he felt like he was above others and that he was chosen one. However, now he hit a wall called reality.


    "Now then¡­" The Head Doctor took a sharp object from a nearby table and said, "Shall we see what your brain looks like? Hehe, no worries, it will only sting a bit."


    "No!" Mint squirmed around, trying to break the cuffs with a desperate attempt. However, after noticing it was futile, his mind went nk, and he threw all reasoning out of the window.


    Crack!


    "Eh?" The Head Doctor and several other Doctors looked shocked as Mint''s wrist suddenly broke!


    "ARGH!" After Mint broke his wrists, he slipped his hands out of the cuffs and mmed his broken fist straight into the Head Doctor''s face.


    "PTUI!" The Head Doctor spat a mouthful of blood as he crashed to the floor. Arge red hand mark was on his face, and blood drips left his nose.


    ''His abilities got nullified, but Zhen Wu''s legacy taught him Martial Arts skills which the cuffs cannot nullify!'' He thought anxiously as he was barely staying conscious.


    "Head Doctor!" The Doctors screamed.


    "ARGH!" Mint screamed as the crimson veins suddenly swelled. He could only use abilities with his arms, and he again smashed his broken hands into the cuffs that locked his legs.


    Crack!


    The power of crimson veins destroyed the cuffs effortlessly.


    Now, Mint was free from the cuffs.


    He leaped out of the metal table and sent a spinning kick toward the doctors.


    Smack!


    The kick sent the doctors hurtling across the room, straight into the sturdy walls.


    SMASH!


    The doctors felt their spines breaking as the wall stopped their flight. The doctors fell limply to the ground, breathing rough and painfully.


    Mint broke the door and bolted out of the room. As he looked around, he noticed several soldiers walking in a brightly lit hallway.


    "Hey, stop there!" The soldiers took out their firearms and aimed. However, Mint was already in front of them with the crimson veins smoking. As he kicked the soldiers, three tons of force struck them in the chests.


    ''''UGH!'''' Soldiers copsed on the ground with their uniforms ripped to pieces. In an instant, they were dead.


    "Whew¡­" Mint swiped his hair back and snorted, "So weak, not even a single Chain Breaker among them. I guess breaking out of this ''Tartarus'' is easier than I thought.''


    He grabbed the dead soldiers'' keys and continued running in the hallways.


    While running, he met with several soldiers. However, he killed them effortlessly with only one kick. The pain in his wrists made him reluctant to use any hand-based attacks.


    "Wait, is that the exit?" Mint thought aloud while sprinting through the hallways. At the far end, he could see a steel door.


    ''After I break out of this ce, I am done ying nice¡­ I can be King of a nation with ease, and no one can stop me!'' Mint snorted and jumped off the floor. As he spun around several times in mid-air, he kicked at the steel door numerous times in an attempt to break it!


    BOOM!


    The steel door was ripped away from its hinges and fell to the floor. Mint stepped into the room and frowned.


    There were thousands of monitors and soldiers who were aiming their firearms at him.


    "So¡­ this wasn''t the exit?" Mint clicked his tongue, and suddenly the crimson veins protruded within his arms.


    "So, who is going to die first?"


    The soldiers looked fearless as they held their fingers close to the trigger.


    "Hey, stop threatening my soldiers."


    Mint frowned and looked toward the tall chair.


    The tall chair slowly turned around, revealing General All-America with his eternal grin.


    "Who the fuck are you?" Mint asked while aiming his attack toward the muscr soldier.


    "My name is All-America, and I am Commander of this facility." General All-America stood up from the chair and moved around his rusty limbs, "I haven''t fought in a long time. I hope you are worthy of my time."


    "Big words, but can you survive even one attack?!" Mint lunged forward, and crimson veins encircled his legs as he kicked All-America in the chest!


    "Heh." Mint grinned after his footnded perfectly on All-America''s chest. He expected him to start crying in pain. However, his expectations got crushed.


    "Is that all?" General All-America looked down at his chest with a grin. Then he grabbed ahold of Mint''s leg and mmed him down against the ground!


    BAM!


    "UGH!" Mint spat out a mouthful of blood after his back collided with the tiled floor, ''W-What¡­ who is this man?!''


    "Little squirt, go back where you came from!" All-America''s arm turned blurry as he threw Mint flying across the hallway!


    When Mint hit the floor, he continued to bounce until he finally stopped right in front of the bright room where he had first woken up.


    All-America''s throw destroyed the walls and the floors of the hallway. It was a miracle that Mint was even breathing.


    ''''U-Ugh...'''' Mint spat out broken teeth. His fingers were twitching as he tried to stretch his hands towards the end of the hallway.


    "Well, hello there." The Head Doctor stepped out of the bright room while holding a napkin to stop his nosebleed, "Shall we continue our treatment?"

 Chapter 475 Martial Arts Tournament

    Chapter 475 Martial Arts Tournament


    City of Fall, inside a random Cafe.


    Isaac flipped through the pages of the newspaper while sipping a cup of coffee. The cafe he was in was within walking distance away from his new headquarters.


    There were several tables upied, while the other half of the cafe was empty. The streets were busy, while the nearby building was quite loud and crowded.


    Isaac curiously looked towards the building on the other side of the street. They held a Martial Arts Tournament, and it attracted many eye pairs.


    ''''More coffee, sir?'''' A handsome waiter stopped next to Isaac and asked politely.


    ''''No, thanks.'''' Isaac lowered the cup, paid for the coffee, and left the cafe with the newspaper in his left hand.


    He continued looking at the bustling building while the pedestrians walked past him.


    Isaac rubbed his chin and pondered something for a few minutes. Then, he nodded, stored the newspaper in his inventory, and crossed the road.


    He briskly stepped up the short stairs and entered the busy building. Arge crowd had gathered, and arge tform was in the middle of the floor.


    Two men dressed in ck Gi were standing in their fighting stances while a muscr man with white Gi stood in the middle of them. He was whispering something to the two men. Then he stepped back and announced the start of the final match.


    ''''The final match between Ren Lover Vs. Kevin Yu begins!''''


    The excitement spread across the crowd, and the building turned even noisier.


    ''''Haaah!'''' Ren Lover bolted towards his opponent with his fist raised. After taking a long stride, he did an insanely quick right cross.


    However, Kevin Yu effortlessly blocked the right cross with his left elbow and countered with a right uppercut!


    Ren Lover immediately pulled his head back and felt the force of the wind brushing past his face as the uppercut missed him.


    ''''Hayah!'''' Kevin Yu''s legs lifted off the floor and immediately did a spinning back kick!


    ''''ARGH!'''' Ren Lover crossed his arms. However, the strength of the kick forced his feet to slide backward.


    The crowd pped powerfully, and their hearts raced with excitement.


    The man wearing white Gi watched silently. Both the finalists were his disciples, and he didn''t care who won, but he didn''t want either to get badly injured.


    Ren Lover suddenly put his arms in front of his face and quickly stepped forward. Then, his right arm shredded across the air as he sent several quick jabs toward Kevin Yu''s face.


    Kevin Yu covered his face with his muscr arms and blocked the jabs. Then, from the corner of his left eye, he noticed a shadow of a kick nearing his abdomen!


    He immediately raised his left leg and blocked Ren Lover''s sneaky kick!


    ''''Tsk!'''' Ren Lover clicked his tongue after his attack failed. However, he immediately regained hisposure and continued attacking with his left straight!


    Using his right side of the hand, Kevin Yu deflected the left straight, then punched with his left hand immediately after.


    Smack!


    The punchnded perfectly on Ren Lover''s cheek and forced him to stagger backward to reduce the recoil of the punch. However, that gave Kevin Yu a perfect chance to end this match!


    ''''Hiya!'''' Kevin Yu reeled in his right arm and punched!


    ''''Predictable!'''' Ren Lover shouted while putting his arms as a block.


    But then, Kevin Yu suddenly grinned and kicked with his right leg, hitting Ren''s thigh perfectly and causing a spine-chilling sound.


    THWACK!


    ''''UGH!'''' Ren Lover''s eyes shook as the pain suddenly spread across his body, ''He did a calf kick?!''


    ''''This is the end!'''' Kevin Yu grabbed Ren''s cor and threw him to the floor. Then, he immediately mounted him and began throwing punches!


    Ren desperately tried to block his face, but his face was suffering from a great amount of damage.


    ''''Enough, match over!'''' Their master couldn''t continue watching and called off the match.


    Kevin Yu stopped punching and stood up with his right arm raised in the victorious pose, ''''YEAH!''''


    ''''The tournament is over. The winner is Kevin Yu!'''' His master announced the winner and went to take care of Ren Lover.


    ''''Ugh¡­'''' Ren Lover was helped up, and his bruised face came into view. He was quite an attractive man, but there was a big bleeding scar across his right eye, making him look quite beaten up. After standing up, his master took him to the medical bay.


    Cheers!


    The crowd cheered loudly and powerfully.


    ''''Wow, that was amazing!''''


    ''''Kevin Yu was so much stronger!''''


    ''''Yeah, he easily controlled the match!''''


    ''''Ren was strong too, and he managed to control the match at one point, but he was too impatient!''''


    ''''That''s right, Kevin Yu deserved this victory!''''


    Kevin Yu smugly smiled with the lofty look. He looked around the crowd with a childish grin as he saw their amazed looks.


    ''That''s right. I am the best!'' His body trembled in ecstasy.


    After the tournament ended, the crowd began dispersing and left the building.


    Shortlyter, Kevin Yu left the building with flushed cheeks and his training bag in his left hand. He still felt the euphoric feeling of being the strongest.


    Whistle!


    He then suddenly whistled towards nearbydies with flirtatious gaze, ''''Yo!''''


    The beautifuldies wryly smiled with slightly ufortable looks. They averted their gazes and left with quick steps.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Kevin Yu moved the strands of his hair to the side, revealing a slightly average face with clear brown eyes.


    As he walked past an alleyway, suddenly, a voice entered his ears.


    ''''So, you are the champion of Martial Arts?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Kevin Yu stopped and looked towards the alleyway. He could barely see the outline of a person but was sure that he was tall and athletic. The voice was also deep and very pleasant.


    ''''Well, yeah, I am!''''


    ''''I see¡­'''' The voice turned quiet before he continued, ''''Can I fight against you? I am quite interested in your skills¡­''''


    ''''No offense, but if I fight against amateur, I might kill them!'''' Kevin Yu turned his head away, about to leave, because he thought talking to the shadowy figure was a waste of time.


    ''''No worries¡­ I won''t die!'''' Then, a punch ripped through the air andnded on Kevin Yu''s shoulder!


    ''''UGH!'''' Kevin Yu''s eyes shook as he immediately tried to reduce the impact of the punch. He had to take one step back and identally dropped the bag into the dirty puddle.


    ''''What the hell is wrong with you?!'''' He screamed angrily.


    ''''Like I said¡­ I want to fight you.'''' The person stepped out of the shadows, revealing his inhumanly handsome face.


    ''''Well, let''s fight?'''' Isaac asked with his right hand clenched into a powerful fist.

 Chapter 476 lsaac Vs.Martial Arts Champion,Kevin Yu

    Chapter 476 lsaac Vs.Martial Arts Champion,Kevin Yu


    "Fine, it''s your funeral!" Kevin Yu stepped powerfully on the pavement and charged through the alleyway with incredible speed. He appeared behind Isaac, clutching his fist in readiness to strike.


    "Oh, quick." Isaac whipped his head around and saw arge fist heading towards his face. He immediately raised his arms to act as a block.


    Smack!


    Kevin Yu''s punch struck the block.


    "Tch." He clicked his tongue after he saw that his punch did nothing.


    "Heh." Isaac held his arms up in his blocking stance. His HP bar didn''t fluctuate, meaning he barely felt the attack.


    "You are tough, I give you that, but let''s see how much you canst!" Kevin Yu suddenly swung a right cross that went right past Isaac''s block!


    "Oh!" Isaac smiled at the incredible attack. His opponent''s attack went past his block perfectly and was heading straight toward his left cheek.


    ''It will hit!'' Kevin Yu smirked internally as his punch neared his opponent''s cheek.


    But then, Isaac sent a left uppercut towards Kevin Yu''s fist!


    Bam!


    "Eh?!" Kevin Yu''s eyes shook as he watched his fist getting thrown backward, ''Instead of blocking, he counter-attacked and sent an uppercut straight towards my own attack?!''


    Then, the pain registered, and he felt a sharp pain around his wrist, which had a red mark and a tiny bruise.


    Following up with his next attack, Isaac hit Kevin Yu on the right thigh with a low kick!


    Smack!


    "ARGH!" Kevin Yu screamed loudly, ''He did a calf kick?!''


    "Is that how you do it?" Isaac grinned and struck Kevin Yu in the jaw with a right straight.


    Thwack!


    "Ugh!" The punch pushed Kevin Yu''s head backward. Several teeth were at breaking point, and blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth.


    ''Who is he¡­ He isn''t amateur!'' He pushed his head forth and saw the white-haired man sending another calf kick, but this time towards his left thigh!


    "Not happening!" Kevin Yu raised his left leg and blocked the kick, "I have learned how to block every attack of mine. Meaning, I know how to block every strike you make!"


    "Oh, what if I use an attack you don''t know of?" Isaac asked with a tiny grin.


    "Hah, as if!" Kevin Yu shook his head and was confident that he was more experienced. He didn''t expect the white-haired man to know anything about other styles.


    Whoosh!


    "Eh?" Kevin Yu blinked, and suddenly Isaac disappeared!


    "I am here..." Isaac said while bending down. He reached for Kevin Yu''s legs with his hands. He was going for a tackle!


    "Tackle?! Not happening!" Kevin Yu immediately mmed his palms into Isaac''s shoulders and stopped the tackle, "I know all about tackles too!"


    "Well, I didn''t go for the tackle." Isaac hammered his fist into the bridge of Kevin Yu''s foot!


    "ARGHHH!" Kevin Yu screamed in agony and staggered backward with a bruised foot, "Y-Y-You shameless!"


    "Sorry, but we aren''t fighting with rules. This is a street fight, don''t you know what that is?" Isaac said while running after Kevin Yu. He didn''t n to give him any rest!


    "S-Street fight?!" Kevin Yu gulped and didn''t really know the meaning of that word.


    In the City of Fall, the Martial Arts were holy, and things like street fights were unknown terms to them. They would only fight in the arenas and with referees.


    This was Kevin Yu''s first time fighting without any supervision.


    "Yes, no rules!" Isaac shouted as he did an overhead hook!


    Thwack!


    "Ugh!" Another punch painfullynded on Kevin Yu''s nose. The punch broke it, with drops of blood dripping down.


    Then, Isaac followed up with a calf kick, and another painful sound reverberated in the alleyway.


    Thwack!


    "Argh, damn it!" Kevin Yu screamed as his right thigh went numb. He could barely feel his right leg and understood immediately the dire situation he was in.


    Suddenly, two shadowy arms wrapped around his head, and Kevin Yu noticed a knee approaching his face.


    "Oh no!"


    SMACK!


    Isaac held Kevin Yu''s head from his nape and sent several knee kicks straight towards his face. Each knee strike sent a shower of blood towards the dry walls.


    After several blows, he let go of the nape and watched as Kevin Yu fell to the ground with white pupils. He passed out!


    "Whew¡­" Isaac patted the dust off his shoulders and checked his percentage.


    [UP: 30%]


    "3% rise¡­ Well, better than nothing." Isaac then turned towards the bloodied man and knelt next to him. He pulled out a healing potion from his inventory and poured it inside Kevin Yu''s mouth.


    As the healing liquid traveled through Kevin''s throat, all injuries started healing.


    Isaac stood up and watched as the healing potion cracked and disappeared.


    "Kevin Yu¡­ That was your name, right?" He asked as he saw the man slowly waking up.


    "U-Ugh¡­ w-why did you heal me?" He asked while holding his mouth. All the injuries were slowly disappearing, but he could still feel the taste of blood in his mouth.


    "Because fighting you was quite selfish." Isaac scratched his head, "I need to increase my percentage, and you seemed to be a person who could increase it."


    "Cough!" Kevin Yu started having a coughing fit, and once it stopped, he asked, "Percentage¡­ I have heard my master talking about it¡­ Does that mean you have reached that realm?"


    "Realm? I am not sure what you mean." Isaac was about to leave the alleyway but stopped after hearing his question.


    "Realm¡­ where you go beyond human limitations¡­ if I remember correctly¡­ 400 level was the start of that realm¡­"


    "Right, I have reached that realm. What about it?"


    "Hah¡­" Kevin Yu held his face with a defeated look, "You could have defeated me so easily¡­ I am only level 350. Why did you use Martial Arts when it''s obviously not your ss?"


    "I need to increase my percentage, simple as that. Increasing the percentage is quite tricky. Sometimes I have to put handicap for myself," Isaac said while looking at the New-Gen Human in front of him.


    New-Gen Humans be "Superhumans" after reaching level 400, which was an incredible achievement for them.


    Kevin Yu, who hadn''t seen any other yer yet, considered it an incredible achievement. He''d only seen a few others above level 400, and one of them was his master.

 Chapter 477 Return to Fountain of Life

    Chapter 477 Return to Fountain of Life


    ''I am back,'''' Isaac said as he opened the door to his newly-bought building. The air was very fresh, and the floor, windows, etc., were almost shining.


    The Ghost appeared from the ceiling with a curious look, ''''Are we going to the Fountain of Life now?''''


    ''''Yes,'''' Isaac said while picking up several items from the table.


    ''''R-really?!'''' The Ghost looked excited as he floated circles in the ceiling.


    ''''Yes. But there is one more person we need to take with us.'''' Isaac said after finishing packing up.


    ''''Who?'''' The Ghost asked afternding on the ground floor.


    ''''You will see.'''' Isaac took a green pearl-like item from the inventory and said, ''''Stronglord, Herb Store.''''


    ''''Ah, wait for me!'''' The Ghost wrapped his transparent arms around Isaac''s neck as both of them got engulfed in bright light.


    ¡­


    The streets of the Stronglord were emptier than before. The New-Gen Humans roamed the streets while only the new yers walked among them. All higher-leveled yers had traveled to another realm.


    Then, a bright light appeared in front of the ordinary building that sold medical herbs.


    With curiosity, the yers stopped in their tracks and looked toward the bright light.


    From there, two individuals appeared.


    The first one was a transparent man with a bulging body. The yers eximed as they realized that it was a Ghost, and it was a rare sight for many.


    Then, the streets turned silent as the white-haired man''s figure appeared.


    The New-Gen Humans looked surprised and admired silently.


    But, the yers were dead silent. They picked up a photo from their inventory, showing a picture of Isaac.


    They picked up the picture from thetest newspaper, which talked about the opening of the Autumn Realm.


    They looked back and forth between Isaac and the picture. The face was identical, the hair was identical, and the smile was perfectly identical.


    ''''H-He is¡­ the legendary¡­''''


    ''''I-I heard he was in Autumn Realm. Why is he here?''''


    ''''Gulp¡­''''


    While the yers clumsily picked up their cameras to take a picture, the Ghost looked at the ordinary building with a frown.


    ''''Why are we here?''''


    ''''Ourst member is here.'''' Isaac opened the door and motioned to enter, ''''Come on, we don''t have all day.''''


    After entering the store, a thick scent of medical herbs wafted into their noses. Isaac felt much more rxed and happy as the smell tickled his senses.


    ''''I am not even alive, but the scent still rejuvenates me.'''' The Ghost said with amazement.


    ''''Hey, Richard!'''' Isaac saw one of the doors open and decided to shout. There was a shadow moving around, and the scent of medical herbs grew stronger.


    Then, a handsome man with athletic body stature and well-toned muscles appeared. He was the Head Doctor of Snowstar Hospital, Richard!


    ''''Oh, young Isaac, you are here.'''' Richard smiled and shook hands with Isaac. Then, he turned to look at the Ghost with a surprised look.


    ''''I found the third person.'''' Isaac pointed at the Ghost and said, ''''Now we can go for Fountain of Life.''''


    ''''Oh!'''' Richard smiled and tried to shake hands with the Ghost¡ªhowever, the hand phased through. They awkwardly smiled.


    Several months after Arthur''s announcement, Richard invited Isaac to the hospital for hisst check-up. They did it in his office, and there were still a lot of notes about Fountain of Life on the walls.


    Isaac decided to inquire about them, and Richard revealed that the Fountain of Life might be real.


    He had been investigating the Fountain of Life for many months before the announcement and thought it could be the way to cure all the diseases in the world.


    He nned to use it to treat Winter Illness, but because everyone with that illness suddenly got cured on the day of the announcement, he decided to find the Fountain of Life and try to make a medicine that would cure every illness and disease!


    As Isaac saw his passion for it, he revealed that he''d been there and said it was real. On that day, Richard shed a few tears because he was right and decided to team up with Isaac to fetch the Fountain of Life.


    However, they needed a third member. Someone who could keep an eye on Baba Yaga while they steal the Fountain of Life. They needed someone who could move stealthily, and then Isaac found the Ghost, who was perfect for that job.


    ''''The Ghost will keep an eye on Baba Yaga while we go steal the Fountain of Life,'''' Isaac said with a smile.


    ''''Excellent!'''' Richard approved the n.


    ''''Will we go now?'''' The Ghost asked impatiently.


    ''''Yes, ready?''''


    Richard and the Ghost nodded.


    ''''Alright.'''' Isaac smiled and held the pearl in his hand.


    Richard and the Ghost touched his shoulders.


    ''''Here we go¡­''''


    Suddenly, a bright light engulfed the herb store.


    ¡­


    Inside a camp near the dirt road that led to the City of Fall.


    A scarce forest surrounded the camp, and they could see the dirt road easily. There was a campfire lit up, two carriages, and four people seated around the fire.


    ''''Winter Realm¡­'''' A bushy-bearded man said while staring at the fire, ''''I wonder why yers have limitless potential, while we, New-Gen Humans, are limited?''''


    The three other men listened to their captain.


    ''''The yers are favored by the Gods, they receive Legacies from them, and be so-called Children of Gods, worshiped by everyone.


    ''''But, why is it that we, New-Gen Humans, the residents of this world, are getting treated like this?''''


    The three young men nodded thoughtfully.


    ''''Sigh, I heard the yers began appearing here.'''' The bushy-bearded man''s words silenced the camp, ''''Those bastards¡­ they will take our homes, works, women, and food!''''


    ''''Yeah, and they are even immortal. How fair is that?!'''' One of the men shouted with anger, fist clenched tightly, ''''In my opinion, we should throw them out!''''


    ''''That''s right!'''' The bushy-bearded man hit his thigh with the side of his fist, ''''Winter Realm has always been our dream, but now that the yers are here, how could we even fight against them?!''''


    ''''We want to reach Winter Realm. It has always been our dream, but to reach that realm needs level 600! While it takes a lifetime for us, the yers will be able to achieve that in a few months! It''s not fair!''''


    ''''What should we do, Captain?!''''


    The bushy-bearded man grew silent. He held his chin with brows furrowed.


    However, then they saw a ck blur running past the camp and going straight towards the City of Fall that loomed in the distance!


    ''''W-What?! Was that human?!''''


    ''''Whew¡­'''' As the ck blur slowed down, the hood revealed Luna''s beautiful face. She saw the enormous City in the distance, and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.


    ''''Hehe, apparently it would take a week to get to the City of Fall, but it only took me a few hours of running!'''' The hem of Luna''s blouse fluttered as she ran against the wind, ''''Now, where is my Isaac¡­''''

 Chapter 478 Danger

    Chapter 478 Danger


    After opening their eyes, Isaac, Richard, and the Ghost saw a parking lot with destroyed cars and a dark hospital. The sky was opaque and starless. There was a painted forest behind them.


    ''''So, it''s there?'''' Richard asked while looking towards the square-shaped windows that showed a dark interior of the hospital.


    The Ghost felt cold, something he hadn''t felt for a long time. He knew instinctively that there was something evil inside the hospital.


    ''''Yes.'''' Isaac nodded with a nostalgic look.


    ''''This hospital seems familiar¡­'''' Richard murmured after taking a deeper look into the hospital''s structure. He felt like he''d seen the picture of this hospital while studying back in university.


    ''''Alright.'''' Isaac jumped on top of the broken car and turned to look at them, ''''The moment we enter the hospital, we need to be on full alert. Baba Yaga can be anywhere, that''s why, Ghost, you go and find out where she is.''''


    ''''N-Now?'''' The Ghost stuttered under his words.


    ''''Yes.''''


    ''''A-Alright.'''' The Ghost gulped and floated towards the hospital''s front door. As he got closer, the coldness turned even colder.


    ''What kind of person is hiding there?''


    The Ghost phased through the front doors and saw the floors littered with flyers and newspapers. Dried-up blood dyed the old walls, and there was a broken front desk.


    ''Now¡­ where is that person?''


    Outside the hospital.


    ''''So, Baba Yaga can''t leave the hospital?'''' Richard asked, even though he knew the answer.


    ''''Yes, there is something that stops her from escaping this ce.'''' Isaac said and told about his theory, ''''I think it''s because she is connected with the Fountain of Life. She is, after all, its guardian.''''


    ''''Well, if that''s the case, what happens when Fountain of Life is gone?'''' Richard asked.


    ''''To be honest, we can''t take the whole Fountain of Life with us.'''' Isaac said while crossing his arms, ''''The water of Fountain of Life keeps gushing out from the underground, meaning that there is another source for it.''''


    ''''Well, we only need ten canisters, and then we have enough for ten years or more,'''' Richard said with a tiny smirk.


    ''''Yea, but let''s hope that the Ghost will find h¡ª'''' Isaac''s words got cut off as a terrifying screech echoed from the hospital.


    ''''KRYAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!''''


    ''''What the heck?!'''' Richard flinched and almost fell backward.


    Isaac frowned and then saw a floating figure escaping the hospital in a panic.


    ''''Ghost, did you find her? And what was that scream?'''' Isaac asked as the Ghost flew toward him in panic.


    ''''I-I found her¡­'''' The Ghost said with rough breathing, ''''And the scream was hers¡­ She is on the second floor, wing at the walls with her bloodied nails. She was writing something about killing someone.''''


    ''''Hmm, killing someone?'''' Richard frowned.


    ''''Yeah, she was weirdly touching her disfigured face while wing the walls. That person she wants to kill seems to be very hated by her.''''


    ''''Hahaha¡­'''' Isaac let out a strained chuckle, ''Must have been me¡­ well, doesn''t matter.''


    ''''Anyway, should we do it now?'''' Richard asked while turning to look at Isaac, ''''We now know her location.''''


    ''''Let''s do it.'''' Isaac leaped off the broken car and began walking towards the front door, followed by Richard and the floating Ghost.


    They entered through the broken ss doors and tiptoed towards the front desk. The ceiling light flickered before dying.


    Isaac motioned towards the left. There was a broken door lying on the floor and a staircase going up and down.


    Richard nodded and followed after Isaac. Soon, they stepped over the broken door and stopped on the staircase.


    ''''Ghost, you go and keep an eye on Baba Yaga. We will fetch the Fountain of Life.'''' Isaac whispered as quietly as he could.


    ''''A-Alright.'''' The Ghost nodded with slight fear. He still couldn''t get the feeling of coldness out of his system, and the scream was still echoing inside his mind.


    Isaac and Richard began walking down the staircase.


    As their footsteps faded away, the Ghost floated towards the ceiling, passing through everything he came across. A short timeter, he popped out of the second floor and immediately turned his gaze toward the tall monster in the distance.


    Krrrrr!


    Baba Yaga stopped wing the wall as the pain on her face resurfaced. She gritted her long teeth in annoyance.


    She wore a long robe that covered her skeleton-like bodypletely. Dark blood covered her nails, and her face appeared deformed.


    The other half of the face seemed to be burnt, while the other side looked like someone had smashed their hammer into it.


    ''''Die¡­ Die¡­'''' Suddenly, she began wing her face while muttering hatefully.


    ''She is so scary¡­ please, guys, hurry up!'' The Ghost screamed internally.


    ¡­


    ''''This is the ce?'''' Richard asked as he took thest steps on the staircase. They entered arge room with many doors.


    ''''Yes, but the Fountain of Life is behind the third door.'''' Isaac pointed at the third door that had its hinges slightly lifted up.


    ''''Alright.'''' Richard briskly stepped towards the third door. As he slowly put his hand on the door handle and opened the door, a thick scent emerged from the room.


    ''''Ah!'''' Richard eximed as he felt the back pain that had riddled him disappearing.


    ''''This is¡­ amazing!''''


    ''''Yeah¡­'''' Isaac said, silently staring at the fountain with beautiful blue water. It looked incredibly clear without even a shred of taint on it.


    Richard pulled out a canister from his inventory and began filling it with water from the Fountain of Life.


    ¡­


    On the second floor.


    Baba Yaga suddenly stopped wing, and her fierce crimson eyes turned towards the Ghost.


    The Ghost flinched and knew that it was toote to hide.


    He got seen!


    ''I need to warn them!''


    ''''Someone¡­ IS TRYING TO STEAL IT!'''' Baba Yaga screeched and broke the floor with her fist. As her tall figure crashed onto the first floor, she screamed and rushed towards the staircase!


    ''''Oh no!'''' The Ghost phased through the floor and saw Baba Yaga rushing towards the basement!


    ''''THEY ARE IN DANGER!''''

 Chapter 479 lsaac Vs. Baba Yaga

    Chapter 479 lsaac Vs. Baba Yaga


    Thum!


    "Hmm, what was that sound?" Richard finished filling up the second canister and asked while turning to look at Isaac.


    "Not sure¡­ but it can''t be anything good." Isaac narrowed his eyes and motioned for Richard to continue filling up the canisters.


    Richard shakily nodded and ced the second canister into his inventory. Then, he took out the third canister and submerged it into the fountain of life.


    Thump! Thump! Thump!


    Loud running footsteps came from the staircase. It sounded like someone was smashing a hammer against metal.


    "Third done!" Richard said and tossed the third canister into his inventory. He immediately pulled out the fourth canister and submerged it into the beautiful blue water.


    Isaac''s two fists clenched as he heard the sound getting closer. Then, the sound grew silent, but a loud smash immediately followed after.


    SMASH!


    The door flew out of its hinges and crashed to the floor. Baba Yaga appeared inside the room with murderous crimson eyes. Her breathing turned rough as she saw the white-haired man.


    There were obvious differences in the looks, but she could tell it was him¡­ The person who destroyed another half of her face.


    The scent was simr, and she could feel the water from the Fountain of Life flowing inside his body.


    "She isi¡ª" The Ghost appeared from the ceiling. However, his voice died as he saw Baba Yaga standing in the room.


    ''I waste, fuck!'' He screamed internally as he thought he had failed.


    "I-Isaac." Richard gulped, "Should we leave with teleportation pearl?"


    "No, keep filling up the canisters," Isaac said, taking out his shiny Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle. The silvery de shone brightly like it was shining underneath the stars.


    "I will take care of her."


    "Y-Y-Y-You¡­" Baba Yaga''s nails grew bigger as her venomous breath turned the atmosphere heavy, "I have been waiting for this day¡­ for so long¡­"


    "Me too." Isaac immediately aimed and pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    The bullet ripped through the air andnded on Baba Yaga''s left cheek.


    BOOM!


    "ARGHHH!" Baba Yaga''s fearsome screech echoed through the hospital as she flew out of her room and crashed into the wall on the other side.


    While the bullet was trying to prate her left cheek, it could not, and its velocity diminished before dropping to the ground.


    ng¡­


    The bulletnded on the floor.


    On Baba Yaga''s left cheek, a small cut was dyed red, and tiny drops of blood fell from it.


    "KRGGAHHAHHA!" Her body trembled in anger while her eyes pulled backward, "This bastard¡­. Krhtrhhrhrhrhr!"


    Isaac stepped out of the Fountain of Life''s room and slowly moved toward Baba Yaga.


    "I WILL KILL YOU!" Baba Yaga screamed and lunged across the room. Her long, bloodied nails shredded through the air as she shed toward Isaac!


    He spun the gun around and shifted his sniper rifle into the position of a block, thereby blocking the nail''s path. As a result of the sh between her bloodied nails and the weapon he was holding, the result was a draw.


    The bloodied nails couldn''t cut through the sniper rifle, and Isaac couldn''t push the attack back. Instead had to rely on his sturdy block.


    "RAH!" Baba Yaga raised her left hand and shed down with her nails!


    Isaac deflected the nails with the silvery de as he shed in an arc-shaped pattern.


    Cut!


    The nails shed through the floor effortlessly.


    After Isaac positioned the gun so that Baba Yaga''s face was on the other end of the barrel, he pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    Baba Yaga tilted her head towards the left and felt the strangely powerful bullet brushing past her cheek.


    "Is that¡­ all?!" She screamed and shed using both hands!


    "Nah¡­" Isaac grinned and jumped over the nails. As he floated in the air, he stopped above Baba Yaga and already had the barrel aiming at her head!


    "Eh?" Baba Yaga raised her head and saw the barrel facing her.


    "Seismic-Wave!"


    [Seismic-Wave Used!]


    The barrel started trembling, and a transparent veil suddenly engulfed Baba Yaga''s tall figure. The veil sent raging shockwaves toward the environment and to Baba Yaga.


    "ARGHHH!" Baba Yaga screamed as she got forced to kneel. The shockwave rocked her body, making her shoulders and head extremely heavy.


    Isaac somersaulted and pulled the trigger several times. The shiny bullets left the barrel and hit Baba Yaga in the face, pushing her back with strong force.


    "Kghgrh!" Baba Yaga''s face got covered in dark blood as the bullets cut straight through her tough skin and caused severe damage.


    Isaded on the floor and said, "Let''s take this fight to somewhere else¡­"


    The barrel suddenly shone in a brilliant crimson hue. Then, a menacing-lookingser beam flew out of it andnded straight on Baba Yaga''s torso.


    [Pulverizer Used!]


    "KGGHR!" Baba Yaga''s crimson eyes widened as she felt something hot burning her torso. Theser beam pushed her towards the ceiling and caused her body to crash through several concrete ceilings!


    She continued getting pushed upwards while her body was on the receiving end of the dreadful damage. Soon, her flight stopped as she crashed through the first floor''s ceiling andnded on the second floor.


    "T-T-That¡­ bastard¡­" She looked down at her ragged and burnt robes. Her dirty stomach appeared withrge burn damage. Her torso was slightly charred ck.


    Whoosh!


    Then, a blur of white leaped out of the hole andnded next to Baba Yaga.


    "Y-You!" Baba Yaga screamed and shed upwards, going straight towards Isaac''s jaw.


    Isaac jumped backward and dodged the bloodied and long nails. Hended on the other side of the hole with the gun''s stock resting against his shoulder and his finger on the trigger.


    "Y-You¡­ AREGHJJ!" Baba Yaga''s body convulsed as the rage began assaulting her insides. She only wanted to rip the white-haired man to shreds, but he''d grown stronger in the past year.


    So strong that it made even her doubtful. Could she really defeat this bastard, or would she be the one to lose?


    However, the endless waves of rage muffled all those thoughts.


    "I WILL KILL YOU!" Baba Yaga''s scream caused extremely heavy pressure to engulf the hospital. The walls started cracking, and the ceilings began crumbling down.


    Isaac frowned and felt the heavy pressure pushing down his shoulders. His grip on the sniper rifle was getting shakier.


    "¡­" With a side nce, he looked at the percentage, and it was slowly rising¡­ A small smile curved his lips upwards.

 Chapter 480 Seismic-Waves Uncontrollable Power

    Chapter 480 Seismic-Wave''s Uncontroble Power


    "Hurry up" The Ghost screamed as the room trembled around them. A loud sound of fighting filled the air above them.


    "I am doing my best!" Richard shouted as he threw another canister into his inventory and took out another empty one. He immediately submerged it into the water and watched with trembling lips as it got filled with water slowly.


    The Ghost gritted his teeth and nced at the bluish water, ''It doesn''t look very special except it is very clear¡­ Can this really bring me back to life?''


    "What are you daydreaming for?!" Richard shouted as he took another canister from his inventory and tossed it over to the Ghost.


    "?" The Ghost caught it and looked at Richard with a frown.


    "What are you waiting for?! Fill the canister!"


    "Oh." The Ghost floated towards the fountain and submerged the canister into the fountain. However, then something spectacr happened. After his hands went below the water''s surface, they started growing flesh!


    "W-What?!" He screamed out of shock and suddenly started losing his ability to float!


    Ssh!


    He fell straight into the fountain and gotpletely submerged in the water.


    "What the heck?" Richard covered his face as the water sshed in his direction. His shirt and pants got drenched.


    "What the hell are you doing?!" He shouted as he tried to pull the Ghost out of the water. However, his hand suddenly stopped as he saw the incredible scene happening underwater!


    ¡­


    Several floors above them.


    CRASH!


    WHAM!


    "Rgh¡­" Isaac crashed through a solid concrete wall.


    "Rah!" Baba Yaga lunged towards him with her long nails cutting through the wall like it was made of molten butter.


    "Phew¡­" Isaac aimed and pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet brushed past Baba Yaga''s cheek as she slightly tilted her head to the right. Immediately after, she elerated and appeared before him.


    She raised her hands, and the shoulder twitched slightly.


    As Isaac saw the twitch of her shoulder, he immediately jumped backward and saw the two handsnding on the floor, destroying it effortlessly.


    After therge hole emerged from the floor, Baba Yaga jumped over it and rushed after Isaac with her fierce crimson eyes emitting bloodlust.


    Whoosh!


    "?!" Isaac whipped his head to the side and saw a kick nearing his abdomen. He quickly put his gun as a block, but Baba Yaga''s kick had enough strength to send him flying!


    CRASH!


    He crashed through another concrete wall, and his HP slowly fluctuated before dropping slightly.


    [-120 HP]


    [HP: 3050/3610 - Hexagon Armor Effect!]


    Baba Yaga jumped through the wall and shed with her nails. The sharp and dangerous nails cut straight through Isaac''s shirt but didn''t manage to cut through the nextyer of defense.


    "?!" She immediately stopped as she felt her hands trembling.


    "Argh, damn." Isaac looked at his ragged shirt and jacket. They were part of his Camouge Outfit. Now, his stomach was visible, and the hexagon-symboled armor covered his well-toned abs and muscles.


    The armor was transparent and barely visible.


    The nails didn''t manage to cut through it, but Isaac still lost HP, and it was now below 3000.


    "Tricks!" Baba Yaga screamed with her hoarse and painful-to-ears voice.


    She extended her hand and lunged forwards. Then, she did a wide swing with her right arm, and after she did, the nails divided the walls in half!


    Isaac''s eyes widened, and he immediately bent down. The walls around him got cut in half. Then he felt a spark of danger heading his way.


    After Baba Yaga''s initial cut, she aimed the strength of her attack toward Isaac. Ten sharp nails were heading toward his way, and it looked like ten swords were flying toward him.


    Isaac positioned the gun perfectly in front of him. The stock was resting against his shoulder, his left hand was holding the forestock area, and his right hand was near the trigger.


    "Seismic-Wave!"


    [Seismic-Wave Used!]


    The barrel trembled, and suddenly a transparent whitish veil surrounded the entire hallway.


    "Eh?" Baba Yaga looked at her nails, and they were trembling. Then, an enormous pressure engulfed her, and she knelt on the ground with shock shing over her face.


    The enormous pressure destroyed the floor, and everything on the second floor fell to the first floor. The first floor began crumbling apart as heavy items dropped on the floor.


    "Argh!" Baba Yaga crashed to the first floor and couldn''t stand up. The heavy pressure forced her down, and she could feel her bones slowly cracking.


    "Ugh¡­" However, Isaac was also in the same position!


    ''This is why I don''t want to use too much power of Seismic-Wave¡­'' Isaac gritted his teeth as the heavy pressure forced his head to facent on the ground.


    Meteor Descent wasn''t his only skill that could injure its user. He couldn''t control Seismic-Wave. Instead, only target it at something.


    He used it against Baba Yaga back in the basement. However, he used a minuscule amount of power and only targeted her head. However, he knew it wouldn''t help if he used it now. Therefore, he targeted the Seismic-Wave to the entire second floor.


    Seismic-Wave was an incredibly valuable skill to have. However, when used in closed spaces, it was dangerous to be used. Therefore, Isaac almost never used it inside the building or in alleyways. But now, he did.


    There was a reason for it.


    The Seismic-Wavests one minute when used with its full power. That would give Richard and the Ghost an extra minute to fetch the fountain of life''s water.


    ''Hurry up!'' Isaac screamed as his face got buried in the floor.


    "Krghgghhgh!" Baba Yaga tried to stretch her nails towards Isaac. However, her nails began cracking suddenly!


    "Ah!" She screamed and watched as her nails trembled under the heavy pressure and cracked. Her left hand''s nails and two of her right hand''s nails cracked.


    "Noooooo!"


    After a painful wait, the heavy pressure faded away, and Baba Yaga immediately ran after Isaac with a hateful look.


    "Bastard!"


    "Ugh¡­" Isaac climbed out of therge crater and heard loud thumping sounds nearing him.


    He whipped around and saw a fist nearing his face. He put the sniper rifle as a block and managed to block the punch but had to take a step back.


    "DIE!" Baba Yaga before couldn''t use her fists because of her long nails. However, now that the left hand had no nails, she could use her fists again!


    She immediately followed with a kick of her own. Her leg looked like a whip as it smashed against Isaac''s abdomen!


    "UGH!" Isaac tried to block the strike but couldn''t do it in time and was sent flying across the hallway.

 Chapter 481 Killing Mythical

    Chapter 481 Killing Mythical


    Somewhere in the Universe.


    ''Lll¡­''


    Surrounded by dozen earth-sizes, a strange item floated aimlessly in space. It didn''t seem to have any destination or goal.


    The item looked quite strange to be floating around. It resembled a pistol with a silver-iid barrel and a shade of ck on the side.


    ''So boring¡­'' The pistol thought as its deep voice echoed inside his mind.


    Surprisingly, the pistol was the one Isaac found back in the abandoned hospital and used to injure Baba Yaga gravely!


    ''There is nothing to do¡­'' He thought with a sigh. Thickyers of dark clouds covered the''s atmosphere. There was a storm raging with red lightning, and endless heavy pours destroying the world.


    ''Theses are also ruled by the Demons¡­ They are no fun and always try to steal my power. Sigh, I want someone to beat their ass because they are annoying!''


    As he mumbled with irritation, something strange happened. The pistol started trembling, and some peculiar power forcefully turned it around. As it turned 180 degrees, it started floating somewhere.


    ''I can feel a familiar presence in this way¡­'' He thought as it started increasing in speed. Soon, a dozens were out of the way, and he could see the stars moving rapidly around him.


    His speed was way above light speed!


    ''Who could it be¡­ this presence¡­''


    ''Wait¡­ that boy from a year ago!''


    ''He returned to that abandoned hospital!''


    ''And¡­ he is strong, surprisingly strong¡­''


    ''Brouhaha, excellent! It only took him a year to challenge that bitch?!''


    The pistol vibrated in excitement.


    ''You are it¡­ you are the chosen one!''


    His mind traveled through countless worlds and stars beforending on the World of White. He could see the scene of the fight and immediatelyughed.


    ''Hahaha, your weapon is excellent. Mosin-Nagant belongs to one of the strongest warriors humanity has to offer, but I doubt you mind having a second weapon. A weapon that can be used at any moment and handy in many ways!''


    ''I aming, my new owner!''


    ¡­


    "Whew, done!" Richard stored thest canister in his inventory. Then, he turned to look at the Ghost, who was still underwater, "A-Are youing?"


    Ssh!


    The water rippled, and a muscr figure jumped out of the fountain. The flesh surrounding him looked extremely tough, and he was surprisingly tanned. He wore a thin robe, which barely hid his body.


    "E-Eh?!" Richard eximed with surprise.


    "I-I am alive!" The Ghost celebrated with a fist bump. His raging muscles trembled under his mighty shout. A ck buzz-cut and sharp eyebrows made his look quite unique, and the deep ck eyes made him look strong!


    "It worked!" Richard eximed.


    "Yeah, he was right!" The Ghost clenched his fists while shedding tears. He aimlessly roamed the Autumn Realm as a Ghost for almost fifty years, but now he was back in the world of the living!


    "Hmm, then what should I call you now?" Richard asked while scanning him from head-to-toe, "You aren''t Ghost anymore."


    "Well, since his name is Wraith¡­ you can call me Ghost since I will be in forever in debt for him and will do anything to repay him!"


    "Alright, but we need to leave this ce." Richard looked at the trembling ceiling, "The tremors have grown more powerful, and we might get buried here soon!"


    "A-Alright!" Ghost nodded and followed after Richard as they ran out of the room. They saw therge hole in the ceiling but didn''t heed any mind to it and ran towards the staircase.


    Everything around them trembled, and it looked like they were in the midst of a dangerous storm!


    ¡­


    Isaac strapped the gun on his back and jumped over Baba Yaga, who used her left fist to break the wall.


    Afternding on the ground, he spun around and did a wide swing with his right fist.


    Baba Yaga turned around, and Isaac''s punch perfectlynded on her right cheek.


    Wham!


    "Ugh!" Baba Yaga crashed to the floor but almost immediately jumped to her feet. She then used her right hand''s nails to cut straight through Isaac.


    "UGH!" Arge shower of blue blood stained the walls. Isaac grimaced as he saw his HP dropping rapidly. It was now below 2000.


    "Die!" Baba Yaga felt her victory nearing and immediately swung both of her hands.


    Isaac watched as the nails, and the fist headed towards him. As the attacks got near, he suddenly bent down and ran underneath the arms.


    "Eh?" Baba Yaga finished swinging her hands and was now in an awkward position. Her waist waspletely unguarded, and Isaac was standing beside her.


    However, Isaac didn''t attack her waist. Instead, he pulled out his weapon and pointed the barrel toward Baba Yaga''s jaw!


    BANG!


    He immediately pulled the trigger, and the bullet tore through Baba Yaga''s jaw!


    SPURT!


    The jaw exploded, and the blood muffled Baba Yaga''s screams. The bullet destroyed her mouth alongside the jaw, and the dark blood clogged up the throat.


    "Ughghgh¡­" Baba Yaga held her throat while coughing up blood.


    "Whew¡­" Isaac looked at his trembling hands and frowned. Then, he aimed toward Baba Yaga''s unguarded face and was ready to pull the trigger. However, then the ceiling exploded, and a shiny silver item appeared!


    "Eh?" He raised his head and saw it flying towards him!


    The pistolnded perfectly on his left hand, and it felt perfect like the gun was his all along.


    ''Hello, kiddo!'' A familiar voice echoed inside his mind.


    "It''s you!" Isaac eximed.


    "Ghghghghg¡­" Baba Yaga hatefully red at them. When she saw the pistol, her rage erupted like a volcano. But she couldn''t do anything as she was bleeding dry.


    ''Well then, use me, and kill this overgrown bitch!''


    "Meh, I don''t want to lose my arm again." Isaac shuddered from the thought alone.


    ''Hahahaha!'' The voiceughed, ''You are now strong enough to use me, so do it!''


    "Hmm¡­ fine." Isaac aimed the gun and held Baba Yaga at the gun''s point. He then pulled the trigger powerfully, and the powerful recoil destroyed the walls around him.


    BAAAANG!


    Spurt!


    The single bullet tore through Baba Yaga''s forehead. She blinked several times before falling to the floor, her body twitching and squirming. She managed to stay alive for a short while but died as the blood gushed out of her throat and forehead.


    "Oh, it didn''t explode." Isaac looked at his arm, and it was intact. Then, several loud notifications rang in his ears.


    This was the first time he killed anyone with Mythical Rank, which was the starting point in Isaac''s journey.

    [You received Fountain of Life''s Guardianship!]


    [Fountain of Life''s Guardianship: You are now in control of the Fountain of Life]


    [You received ownership of Myriad Silver Pistol (Heavenly Rank)]


    [Myriad Silver Pistol (Heavenly): ???]


    ¡­


    ''Heavenly Rank¡­ It''s one level higher than Mythical Rank.'' Isaac gulped as he looked at the seemingly ordinary silver pistol.


    Heavenly Rank was officially the highest rank in the game. Usually, Godly weapons were of that rank, but surprisingly this human-like weapon was on par with God''s weapons.


    ''Also¡­ Fountain of Life Guardianship¡­ Meaning that I am fully in control of it now.''


    That was excellent news for him.


    As Isaac stood silently in the parking lot, Richard and Ghost sprinted out of the hospital with paleplexions. They were shocked that half of the hospital was in ruins and were even more surprised to see Isaac semi-fine!


    Even though there were a few scratches on his face and his jacket was in rags, it still looked like Isaac hadn''t just been on a death match against one of the strongest Creatures!


    ''''Isaac, where is she?!'''' Richard asked with rough breathing. He looked around but couldn''t find the tall figure of that monster.


    ''''Next to you,'''' Isaac said calmly.


    ''''Eh?'''' Richard turned his head to the left, and there was nothing there. But when he looked right, he saw dead Baba Yaga bleeding dry.


    ''''AAHHH!'''' He and Ghost screamed. They immediately jumped away from the corpse, their bodies trembling.


    ''''Heh,'''' Isaac smirked while holding the silver pistol in his left hand and Mosin-Nagant in the right.


    ''''S-Should we go?'''' Richard asked with a shaky tone, ''''All the canisters are full.''''


    ''''Right.'''' Isaac nodded and thought it didn''t matter anymore. He received the Guardianship and could basically do anything he wished with the Fountain of Life. However, ten canisters worth of that water was for experiment purposes.


    ''''What about you then?'''' Isaac turned to look at the pistol.


    ''What about me? I am going to hang out with you, so keep me in the holster.''


    ''''What holster?''''


    ''Look at your waist.''


    Isaac turned his gaze to his waist and saw a beautiful silver holster hanging from his waistline. It had ancient-looking engravings and looked very mystifying.


    He slipped the pistol into the holster and strapped his sniper rifle to his back.


    Then, he noticed Ghost and was surprised for a moment, ''''Oh, Ghost, it seems that the fountain of life worked.''''


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' Ghost saluted with an enthusiastic look.


    Isaac nodded with a slight smile and took out the teleportation pearl.


    Richard and Ghost touched his shoulders, and soon the bright light engulfed them.


    ¡­


    Stronglord, Richard''s Herb Store.


    ''''Alright!'''' After exiting the bright light, Richard immediately returned to his back room. In there, he already had all his equipment ready.


    He rubbed his hands as he began experimenting with the Fountain of Life''s water.


    ''''Let''s go,'''' Isaac said to Ghost. He knew Richard was now in his work mode, and nothing would faze him anymore.


    A long time ago, he made a deal with Richard that he would receive a portion of the medicine that Richard makes out of the Fountain of Life. He was certain that medicine would be earth-shaking and something never before seen.


    ''''Alright.'''' Ghost nodded and touched Isaac''s shoulder.


    They were soon shrouded in the bright light, and it didn''t take long for them to disappearpletely.


    ¡­


    City of Fall, New Bookstore.


    ''''Ahh.'''' Ghost let out a sigh of relief after he was finally back in the familiar building that was almost his home. He''d spent several years in this abandoned building, and it was the ce where he felt the mostfortable.


    ''''Ah, right.'''' Isaac turned to look at Ghost and asked, ''''Can you do any of your previous Ghost abilities?''''


    ''''Let me see.'''' Ghost stretched his hand and snapped using his thumb and middle finger. However, nothing happened.


    He wryly smiled and shook his head.


    ''''Well, I guess you have to do everything by hand.'''' Isaac didn''t feel displeased. Instead, he was expecting this.


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' Ghost saluted with a smile. He would be more than happy to work for his savior; it didn''t matter how he should do it.


    ''''I am gonna go out, so do what you want.'''' Isaac said while fixing his sleeves, ''''But before that, please arrange these.''''


    He waved his hand, and several bookshelves littered the ground.


    ''''Where did you get these?'''' Ghost asked while looking at the nicely-carved bookshelves. They looked quite luxurious with golden carvings.


    ''''Something I received a long time ago.'''' Isaac didn''t treat them as treasures because he had better ones in his bookstore in Priesthood.


    ''''Alright!'''' Ghost nodded and began arranging the bookshelves.


    Isaac left the store and began walking in the streets. There was only one thing left to do before logging out. He wanted to get used to the streets and try to remember the route to his house.


    As he walked in the bustling streets with pedestrians walking past him, he felt a strange sensation on the back of his skull. Someone was approaching him.


    ''An enemy?'' He perked up his ears and concentrated on the sole footsteps. They were quite slow and steady but also powerful.


    ''An assassin?''


    Because of his fame, several Assassins tried to assassinate him, but all of them failed. Even some of the strongest Assassins wanted to try, but none of them ever found a chance to assassinate him.


    The biggest reason was his ability.


    [Multi-Eyes Used!]


    Isaac''s eyes suddenly had a hue of gold. He saw everything that was happening within a 100-meter radius of him. Then, he concentrated his Multi-Eyes on the person, and after he did, he suddenlyughed.


    ''''Hahaha¡­'''' He covered his face.


    ''What is it, an enemy?'' The voice asked with curiosity. He didn''t feel threatened because the strength of his new owner made him very confident.


    ''''No, just some sneaky girl.''''


    Then, two soft mounds touched his back while two slender arms wrapped around his waist.


    ''''Who is the sneaky one?'''' Luna asked with arge pout.


    Isaac smiled as he slowly turned around to look at the beautiful ck-haired girl with inted cheeks.

 Chapter 483 Tomorrows Flight

    Chapter 483 Tomorrow''s Flight


    ''''Why couldn''t you use your teleportation pearl to teleport me?'''' Luna asked with a cute pout, ''''We were separated for almost a day!''''


    ''''I needed all the teleportation uses.'''' Isaac said while rubbing Luna''s soft hair, ''''Now, I don''t have any teleportation pearls. Used them all.''''


    ''''Oh, alright.'''' Luna nodded and nted a kiss on his cheek, ''''What have you been up to?''''


    ''''Nothing much,'''' Isaac replied with a shrug of his shoulders.


    ''''Nothing much?'''' Luna didn''t believe it one bit. However, she didn''t pry deeper into it and held Isaac''s right hand.


    ''''Where were you going?'''' She asked.


    ''''To my house, wanna see it?''''


    ''''You have a house?!'''' Luna eximed with surprise.


    ''''Yes, I got it as a reward for sessfullypleting the Dungeon.'''' Isaac held her soft hand and began leading her out of the streets. They entered a well-maintained road that went up a slope.


    After the slope, there would be several neighborhoods with ygrounds, parks, and roadside stalls. And after all that, they would finally arrive in Isaac''s neighborhood.


    Luna curiously hopped behind him as they walked up the slope. Soon, they arrived in the first neighborhood and saw the cheerful children ying in the yground.


    ''''Isaac, look!'''' Luna suddenly stopped in her tracks and pointed at the yground. There was a group of three boys surrounding a little girl who was crying.


    All of them seemed to be less than eight years old, with baby fat still on their cheeks.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac stopped and looked towards the three boys, who seemed to be bullying the adorable little girl.


    ''''Not on my watch!'''' Luna rolled in her sleeves and stomped towards the yground.


    ''''Your hair is stupid!'''' A short ck-haired boy said with his nose pointing towards the sky.


    ''''No¡­ it isn''t!'''' The little girl quipped back while touching her pigtails. Tiny beads of tears rolled down her cheeks.


    ''''It is!'''' Next to the ck-haired boy, a short boy with curly blond hair said while holding his waist.


    ''''Stupid!'''' The little girl took a handful of sand into her hand and threw it over to the three boys. However, the soft breeze of the wind caused the sand to get blown away.


    ''''Hehe.'''' The third boy snickered.


    ''''Hey, you three!'''' Then, a pleasant voice came behind them.


    ''''Eh?'''' The three boys turned around and were shocked to see a beautiful woman stomping toward them. In their eyes, she looked like a Goddess who descended from the heavens.


    ''''How dare you bully this cute girl?!'''' Luna held her waist while talking sternly.


    ''''Hah, who are you, old hag?'''' The ck-haired boy said with slightly pinkish cheeks. He was the first one to escape Luna''s charm.


    ''''O-Old hag¡­'''' Luna held her painful chest, ''''Y-You three!''''


    ''''Pah!'''' The blond-haired boy showed his tongue, ''''Old hag!''''


    ''''Old hag!'''' The third boy repeated with augh.


    The little girl rubbed her eyes and looked at Luna with sparkling eyes, ''''Beautiful Big sis¡­''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Luna stood straight and looked down at the little boys, ''''Tell me the truth. You three are bullying her because you guys have a crush on her, isn''t that right?!''''


    ''''Heeh, no!'''' The ck-haired boy said while blushing slightly.


    ''''No!''''


    ''''No?''''


    The little girl tilted her head in confusion.


    ''''Heh.'''' Luna rubbed the bridge of her nose, ''''I see now. Stop bullying her because that only will make her hate you three.''''


    The three boys looked at each other. But then, they gritted their teeth and raised their voices.


    ''''Who are you, old hag?!'''' The ck-haired boy''s face was slightly red as he shouted, ''''W-We don''t like her, alright?''''


    ''''I am not old!'''' Luna shouted with a red face, ''''I-I am still young!''''


    ''''Hah, as young as dinosaurs!''''


    ''''Y-You, little¡­'''' Luna touched her chest and tried to calm down her rage.


    The three boysughed and were about to continue. But then, a cold chill ran through their backs as a looming shadow appeared behind Luna.


    Their faces went pale as they saw Isaac looking coldly at them. He looked like an apex predator facing a herd of sheep.


    ''Luna is young and beautiful¡­'' Isaac''s eyes turned even colder, ''Yet, they lie right in front of her face¡­ Unforgivable.''


    ''''U-Umm¡­'''' The ck-haired boy saw Isaac mouthing words.


    He gulped and repeated the words, ''''I-I am sorry, i-it was a joke. You are young and beautiful!''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Luna looked at him with surprise. Then she smiled sweetly while holding her head high, ''''That''s right!''''


    The three boys timidly nodded their heads. Then they looked at the little girl, and said with apologetic faces, ''''Sorry for bullying you.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' The little girl was surprised and watched as the three boys ran out of the yground like their lives depended on it.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Luna turned to look at Isaac with a smug smile, ''''See? I am good with children!''''


    ''''Haha, yes, you are.'''' Isaac grabbed her hand and left the yground with her.


    ''So amazing!'' The little girl thought to herself while looking at Luna''s back.


    Unknowingly, Luna received a young admirer.


    ¡­


    ''''Here it is,'''' Isaac said as he stopped in front of his house.


    ''''Wow!'''' Luna said with amazement while looking around, ''''This kind of neighborhood can be found in Four Seasons!''''


    ''''Yeah.'''' Isaac nodded and opened the front door. They stepped into the house, and Luna toured all the rooms.


    Not even Isaac had checked out the bedrooms yet.


    Luna entered the master bedroom and saw arge bed that could fit both of them easily. There was also a wardrobe, ceiling light, and window that let in plenty of natural light.


    The bedroom wasn''t that big, but it had everything needed and a bathroom.


    Isaac arrived in the bedroom and saw Luna touching the bed while testing its softness. She then turned towards the bathroom and curiously checked it out.


    After a short while, she left the bathroom with an impressed look.


    ''''Luna, should we log out for now?'''' Isaac asked after checking the time. It was currently afternoon, and tomorrow their flight would leave.


    ''''Ah, we need to go packing!'''' Luna remembered that they had yet to pack.


    Isaac opened the interface and tapped the log-out button.

 Chapter 484 Evil Gods

    Chapter 484 Evil Gods


    Snowstar, Isaac''s bedroom.


    "Whew¡­" Isaac slowly opened his eyes and saw the familiar chandelier and the ceiling.


    "Yawn¡­" Luna let out a soft yawn next to him while slowly waking up.


    As they took out their VR Helmets, the skinsuit got sucked inside the headset, bringing a sigh of relief from them.


    Isaac continued closing and opening his eyes. While the Mythical VR Helmet removed all the exhaustion and ufortable feelings, there was one organ that needed to get used to after logging out after a long gaming session.


    The eyes.


    While Luna rubbed her eyes and tried to get used to seeing again, Isaac simply opened and closed his eyes. That way, he got used to using his real eyes again.


    After a short while, Luna saw everything normally.


    She stretched her limbs while saying, "I don''t wanna leave¡­"


    "Gotta pack¡­" Isaac said between yawns, "Tomorrow our flight¡­ will leave¡­"


    "Mou¡­" Luna sat up and left the bed. She had to return to Snowflower''s residence to pack her things. Then, they would meet up tomorrow at the airport.


    "See you tomorrow." She said after nting another kiss on his cheek. Then, she left the room, and her footsteps slowly faded away.


    After the room returned to its silence, Isaac stood up and snatched a ck bag from his wardrobe. He stuffed his change of clothings inside and returned to the bed.


    He took out aptop from underneath the bed and quickly checked the forums.


    The forums looked different than a year ago. The Legacy Company made much-needed improvements, and they enforced the rules strongly.


    The forums were active with discussions about Autumn Realm. There was also one post about Wraith''s appearance in Stronglord. Everyone wondered why he was there and not in Autumn Realm.


    "¡­" Isaac quietly read thements inside his mind, and after a short while, he closed theptop and put it inside the bag.


    Then, he went to fetch all the things he needed in Happugh and was done packing after another half an hour.


    Isaac left the bag on the bed and left the room. He walked past the stairway and moved to the attic.


    After walking up the wooden stairs, he opened the hatch and climbed up.


    The attic was cleaned up by Isaac, and the scent of rotting wood was finally gone. The dust was nonexistent, and the boxes that littered the attic were removed by Isaac a long time ago.


    It was quite cozy-looking and warm. A carpet nketed the floor, there were several soft couches, and even a TV screen mounted on the wall.


    This was Isaac''s private ce because no one else wanted to go there because the fear of spiders. Luna also visited this ce often with Isaac, and since it was a remote ce, they could do their own things without getting disturbed.


    Isaac slipped his feet into the slippers and walked across the attic. He went to the attic window and opened it.


    The cold wind pushed into the attic, and the winter weather raged outside.


    Whistle!


    Isaac ced his right hand''s thumb and index finger inside his mouth and puffed loudly. That caused a sharp whistling sound to reverberate outside.


    p! p!


    A white dot appeared in the sky, which started rapidly descending. It was flying straight towards the attic with blinding speed.


    Soon, the white dot''s appearance became clearer, and it was the mysterious Snowy Owl.


    "Hello, girl." Isaac stretched his hand forth, and the Snowy Owlnded on his palm. He patted its soft fur while the Snowy Owl calmly moved its head around.


    For the past year, the Snowy Owl had visited Isaac routinely. He didn''t know why, but he thought it would be a good mystery to solve.


    In White Online, he received the title ''Explorer of Mysteries''. A month passed before he was able toplete the Quest to get that title after a long and difficult journey. He had to use his wits and brains to find out who the killer was.


    There was a serial killer on the loose in Priesthood. He was apparently a devoted believer in Evil Gods and gathered sacrifices in his honor.


    Every yer received that Quest, and it was to find the identity of that person. While everyone thought about checking out Priests and Priestesses, Isaac thought about another possibility.


    Everyone thought the serial killer was New-Gen Humans because the Quests usually wouldn''t trigger without an already nned event. However, Isaac and a few others had experiences with Quests, which were about yers.


    That''s why Isaac thought that the so-called Evil God devoted believer was Dark Priest. It was a hunch at first, but then he started gathering clues, and everything became much clearer.


    He soon discovered the Dark Priest''s identity, which wasn''t quite hard. He only needed to find a yer with a Dark Priest ss and a ck name tag.


    The ck name tag came from killing innocent folks.


    He defeated that yer and found out that the Dark Priest had a Legacy Quest. It was to kill fifty innocent people as sacrifices, and he would receive the Legacy of Eris, The Goddess of Chaos.


    The Dark Priest got imprisoned, and the News outlets revealed the yer''s identity to the world. His real-life identity was only a high school student, which brought a big shock to everyone''s heart.


    After all, New-Gen Humans are like real humans, and killing them was a big no-no. However, that rule was slightly loose. There was usually a strength-based hierarchy, and there were evil New-Gen Humans who wanted to kill yers.


    However, the Dark Priest killed only innocent folks, which was too much. In the end, he got also prisoned in real-life aftermitting such heinous crimes.


    His defense was quiteughable. He continued shouting that it was only a game and was only doing a Quest created by Legacy Company.


    That brought a big fire within Legacy Company because everyone wondered why they created such an evil Quest. However, they didn''t create it.


    The Evil Gods and Goddesses lurk in the shadows and try to corrupt the yers'' minds and New-Gen Humans. They were loose cannons and were most likely going to side with the Demons.

 Chapter 485 War Hero

    Chapter 485 War Hero


    "Here." Luna pulled out her ticket from her pouch and handed it over to the flight attendant.


    Next to her, Isaac showed his ticket.


    The flight attendant smiled with a slight blush while checking out the tickets.


    "Alright, have a nice flight!" She said with a tiny bow while looking at Isaac with a side-nce.


    "Thanks!" Luna entered the ne with arge smile and entered the first-ss area, quickly followed by Isaac, who carried two bags. One was Luna''s, and the ck bag was his.


    She quickly found their seats and took the window seat.


    Isaac ced the bags on the shelf above and sat next to Luna. The first-ss seats werefy and soft.


    The first ss mostly had businessmen and businesswomen. But, there were also slightly more wealthy ones who were going on vacation.


    Therefore making Isaac and Luna quite eye-catchy. They, after all, looked like they were still in their twenties and were very attractive both.


    Luna then looked out of the window and saw the snowy ground. She was slightly scared of the idea of leaving in such bad weather because the snow was blowing hard, and the dark clouds covered the sky.


    However, it was ordinary weather in Starshow. The scientists specially created the nes to survive such harsh weather; even if a lightning storm hit them, they would still be alright.


    "Isaac, what are we nning to do there?" Luna then asked, "We need to find that person who will do another incident, but how are we going to do that?"


    "We have one week to find out, and it''s plenty," Isaac said as he nced to the side, where several people were getting seated.


    "Let''s just find a good hotel, rent a room, and then think about it in there."


    "Why do you want to go there?" Luna asked, "It feels like¡­ you are trying to prove something."


    "That''s right." Isaac''s lips slightly curved upwards, "I am there to prove that Sword of Myth isn''t the solution."


    "Why?" Luna looked at him with furrowed brows, "They are helping people and are keeping the rogue Chain Breakers out of the streets."


    "That''s what it looks like." Isaac said while lowering his head, "I have met with¡­ General All-America, the person in charge."


    "You have?" Luna covered her mouth in shock, "Why didn''t you tell me?"


    General All-America was a famous person. He was also a politician and a renowned person in public.


    The public hailed him as War Hero, and he was one of the world''s top ten most influential people. There were hundreds of stories about his heroic achievements, and his nickname was the World''s Strongest Person.


    No one could defeat him in a one-versus-one fight. That''s what the rumors say. Him being Chain Breaker was known news, and him being the creator of Sword of Myth was also one of the biggest reasons why no one doubted them.


    The people who have seen him fighting in White Online described the thing they saw with a vivid imagination. Apparently, he could summon hurricanes, tornadoes, and storms.


    With such power, no one could stand up to him.


    "It''s¡­ a meeting I am not proud of," Isaac said while hiding his face.


    His meeting with All-America was two months ago.


    He came to his bookstore to invite him to Sword of Myth personally. However, Isaac rejected it, and they ended up in a slight argument.


    That argument soon got pretty heated because of a stupid reason. One of All-America''s henchmen talked about the so-called Bookstore Goddess in front of Isaac and wanted to meet her. He spoke in a very derogatory way after hearing about her great beauty.


    He didn''t know that she was dating Isaac and asked for her number from him..


    In the end, Isaac killed him.


    General All-America didn''t like that, and they ended in a fight.


    Neither of them went all-out because they would have sunk half of the City in ruins. However, General All-America''s physical stats were a notch higher, and Isaac couldn''t even use half of his power in the closed space.


    While he was Marksman and weak within close quarters, General All-America was Unique ss called Battle Mage.


    He was a mix of Brawler and Spellcaster.


    Thus, he had a huge advantage, and Isaac lost the fight. However, the fight alone made All-America wary of Isaac. While he couldn''t use his summoning abilities and lost a big portion of his total strength, Isaac couldn''t use any of his abilities, not even his gun.


    Still, Isaac managed to break one of his arms. This fight was, of course, fought in White Online, and no harm was done. However, General All-America felt frightened about the possibility of fighting him in real life.


    If Isaac could use his gun, he would be a formidable threat. Especially knowing that he could hit a target from 10 kilometers away!


    That fact alone made General All-America truly scared. He could be dead before he even knew it if Isaac wanted to.


    In his mind, Isaac was truly one of the scariest people in the world. He could be the world''s greatest assassin if he wanted to.


    However, General All-America, with his summoning ability, could greatly hinder Isaac''s ability to shoot. That gave him some relief¡ªhowever, his henchmen weren''t as lucky, and that''s why he didn''t expect All-In-One to be of any help if he had to fight Isaac.


    Luna tilted her head and felt curious, "He wanted to invite you to Sword of Myth?"


    "Yes." Isaac rubbed his neck, "While the public ispletely oblivious to the things Sword of Myth has done, I am not. They aren''t Knights in Shining Armor."


    "They are only All-America''s way to be more influential. I need the public to start doubting them, and maybe, just maybe, I can make them realize that they aren''t the solution."


    "B-But, what then?" Luna asked, "Who will defeat the rogue Chain Breakers?"


    "Government." Isaac clenched his right fist while speaking in a slightly angry tone, "Do you think they don''t have a way to deal with them?


    "They can do it better than Sword of Myth. However, they can''t do it because of All-America''s poprity. If they startpeting with who can do it better, then Government''s Chain Breakers might get into fights with Sword of Myth.


    "That would cause even more chaos, and the public would lose all faith in Government!"


    "I-It''s that serious?" Luna asked with surprise.


    "Yeah¡­ That''s why Sword of Myth isn''t the solution. They are the problem." Isaac knew that there would be a member of Sword of Myth in Happugh. And they have the power of the public with them.


    One wrong move would make him the target, and everyone would tag him as Rogue Chain Breaker, and he would get hunted down. He was basically a vignte and half-criminal if he fought against Chain Breaker.


    However, he knew what he needed to do to get the public on his side. He didn''t spend thest year doing nothing.

 Chapter 486 Happylaughs Districts

    Chapter 486 Happugh''s Districts


    Happugh, Zero District.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    "Ugh¡­" Henry woke up amid loud noises. His groggy eyes slowly opened, and he heard the evesting sound of fighting and shouting.


    ck, nk!


    Garbage littered the floors, and by moving his legs, the mountain of garbage bags rolled down to the floor.


    After he slowly stood up with his feeble bones crackling, he began moving towards the kitchen.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The walls shook like someone was hitting them with a sledgehammer.


    "Shut up¡­" Henry murmured with annoyance. He pulled a drawer open and grabbed an ordinary-sized kitchen knife.


    He made his way over to the door and slowly opened it. As he slowly walked out of his stinky apartment, he saw the dirty hallways of the apartmentplex and bustling streets with citizens walking past.


    This apartmentplex was in Zero District. It was the so-called Poor District, where everyone, from the homeless to the dirt poor, was living.


    The Districts went from Zero to Ten.


    Like his clothes, everyone in the streets wore rags, and the pedestrians treated the ones with slightly better-conditioned rags with respect. In Henry''s opinion, calling this ce Happugh was the world''s greatest joke.


    Maybe the ones above District Five were happy, but everyone below was miserable.


    "District Ten¡­" Henry murmured as he looked towards the horizon. District Zero was under the shade of massive District Ten skyscrapers. It was like the government built the skyscrapers that way to make residents of Zero more miserable.


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    The loud sound seeped through the next-door apartment door.


    Henry dragged his feet behind as he stopped next to the door. Then, he lifted his right hand and knocked on the door three times.


    Knock, knock, knock.


    The shouting stopped momentarily. Then, sharp footsteps closed in on the door, and soon the lock clicked, and the door opened.


    A lean man, almost two meters in height, with a body covered in tattoos, appeared while a cigarette was between his lips. He wore a tank top that revealed his dragon, lion, tiger, and skull tattoos.


    "What do you want, bastard?" He said while letting out a puff of smoke. Itnded straight on Henry''s face, forcing him to cough.


    "COUGH!" Henry waved his hand while steering his head away, trying to get fresh air into his lungs.


    "Hmph." The tattooed man smirked with disdain.


    "Fuck¡­" Henry hid the knife sneakily behind his back as he shouted, "Keep quiet, you are fucking loud!"


    The tattooed man''s face turned freezing cold.


    "Hey, who is it?!" A blond-haired woman with a face full of make-up appeared from the depths of the dirty apartment. She wore a revealing dress that showed her skinny and malnourished body.


    "Some bastard, I will handle this." The tattooed man said and suddenly swung his fist.


    Thwack!


    "UGH!" Henry''s eyes shook as he suddenly got hit on the cheek. He fell to the floor with a shocked expression.


    "Fine, be quick. The movie is about to end." The blond-haired woman said while caressing the tattooed man''s arm.


    She expected a word from her boyfriend. However, didn''t receive any.


    "Honey?" She frowned as she raised her head. Then, her eyes widened in shock.


    The tattooed man was sweating furiously while holding his right fist. There was bone poking through his wrist where his hand got broken!


    "A-A-AAAHHHHH!" He screamed in agony as the pain registered.


    "HONEY!" The blond-haired woman screamed and held her boyfriend, who was about to fall down. The stream of blood trailed down his tattooed arm and stained the floor below.


    "Hahahaha¡­" Henry suddenlyughed as he rubbed his cheek.


    The blond-haired woman and the tattooed man looked at him like he was a devil. Their eyes showed fear, panic, and anxiety.


    Henry slowly stood up with a maniac-looking grin, "You are stupid¡­ loud¡­ and annoying."


    "Rgh¡­" The tattooed man grimaced as he held his broken hand, "W-Who are you?"


    "You can call me¡­ Jack." Henry grinned menacingly and revealed his kitchen knife.


    The blond-haired woman paled and spoke with fear, "P-Please, w-we will be quiet from now on, I swear!"


    "Yes¡­ you will be quiet from now on." Henry said while grabbing the tattooed man''s hair and slitting his throat!


    "NO!" The blond-haired woman screamed as her boyfriend fell to the floor while coughing blood and bleeding dry.


    The tattooed man twitched and squirmed while holding his throat. Slowly, his eyes lost their light, and he died.


    "No¡­" The blond-haired woman started crying with the teardrops mixing with the blood on the ground.


    "Well then¡­" Henry stepped into the apartment with the bloody knife on hand, "You next¡­"


    "NO!"


    ¡­


    Happugh''s Airport.


    The ne that left Snowstar finallynded on the runway. Shortly afterward, the passengers started deboarding the ne.


    In addition to them, Luna and Isaac exited the ne with their bags in hand. Soon, they left the terminal and arrived outside, where their taxi was waiting.


    After cing their bags in the trunk, they entered the taxi and gave directions to the taxi driver, who began driving towards District Ten.


    "This ce is¡­" Luna didn''t know how to describe the things she saw. There were parts of the City that were filthy, and some were luxurious.


    The taxi driver saw their wondering expressions, "First time here?"


    "Yes," Isaac replied.


    "Then, you must be curious about these Districts then." The taxi driver checked from the front mirror and saw their confused faces. His hunch was correct, and he began calmly exining the Districts.


    "The airport was in District Four, and we just crossed District One." The taxi driver checked out the windows and saw the dirty streets, "It''s not exactly the best view possible for tourists, that''s why this ce isn''t that famous.


    "However, the Government officials don''t really care. Anyway, soon we are in District Five, and from there, we will get to District Ten, where you two apparently are headed."


    "Yes." Isaac nodded while crossing his legs.


    "I gotta warn you. It will be expensive." The taxi driver said, "District Ten is only for the wealthy. One night in a 1-star hotel would be enough to live in District Zero for one year."


    "Yeah, do you know any hotels nearby?" Isaac asked.


    "Yes, many. Do you want 1-star or 2-star hotel rmendations?" The taxi driver asked.


    Luna looked away from the window and looked at Isaac.


    "5-star," Isaac said calmly while checking out the dirty streets.


    "Cough¡­" The taxi driver identally swallowed his saliva and ended up in a coughing fit.

 Chapter 487 Memory Fractions

    Chapter 487 Memory Fractions


    The taxi driver silently drove to the only five-star hotel in District Ten. After parking his taxi in front of the massive building, cold sweat drenched his back while he felt the sharp gazes of the nearby pedestrians.


    The pedestrians wore fancy dresses and suits while adorned with expensive jewelry.


    "Thanks." Isaac paid the driver and left the taxi with Luna. They took their bags and walked toward the hotel. After entering the building through a fancy entrance, they went straight to the receptionist''s desk.


    There was a man with a straight back waiting for them with a professional smile. However, his eyes were scanning the two closely.


    ''No make-up, relies on her natural beauty.'' He checked out Luna first, ''Her fashion is alright but doesn''t seem to care much about it. Her pouch is expensive but not over-the-top, and her blouse is one month old¡­


    ''And¡­ this young man looks familiar.'' The professional man''s eyes stopped afternding on Isaac''s face. He felt like he had seen him before but couldn''t remember where.


    "One room," Isaac said as he ced his credit card on the desk.


    "Alright, one night will be 5000$ for two."


    Luna and Isaac didn''t change their expressions as they paid for the room. They paid enough for two weeks'' stay, which totaled in the end 70,000$.


    The professional-looking man smiled and handed over their keys, "Thank you, and have a nice day."


    "Thanks." Isaac epted the key and left with Luna.


    After they were gone from the lobby, the professional-looking man pulled out his phone and checked the news, ''I swear he looked familiar¡­ maybe he is a celebrity.''


    ¡­


    Isaac and Luna entered their luxurious hotel room with beautiful scenery. The windows showed the nightlife of District Ten, and it was a wonderful sight.


    There was arge sma TV mounted on the wall, a new-looking couch not far, and a big bed that could fit them easily.


    Luna plopped down on the soft bed and heaved a sigh of relief, "Ah¡­ Finally, I can rest¡­''


    "Well, not quite." Isaac caressed her cheek while putting away the bag.


    Luna sat up with a serious look. They had to discuss the n.


    After storing the bag away, Isaac returned to the bed with a notebook. He flipped open the pages and showed Luna the 20th page.


    Luna slowly read it through and nodded.


    "Alright, the n is quite simple." Isaac closed the notebook and said, "We will wait for the Chain Breaker to do something, which will most likely end in a big incident.


    "We will have to bid time until the Sword of Myth arrives. That''s why you will control the damage as well as you can.


    "And once the member from Sword of Myth arrives, you will continue limiting the damage, and hopefully, no one will get injured."


    "Then what?" Luna asks, "They will end in a fight, but wasn''t the goal to not look like vigntes?"


    "Yes." Isaac nodded, "While you secure the citizens, I will steer the public''s opinion to our side. Hopefully, that member from Sword of Myth is so drunken in his power that he won''t notice our ploy."


    "Alright." Luna nodded and still felt like there were way too many things that could go wrong.


    "No need to worry." Isaacy down on the bed with hands behind his head, "You don''t need to know all the tiny details yet."


    "Alright¡­" Lunay next to him and asked, "It will happen a weekter. What should we do during that time?"


    "Let''s tour the city?" Isaac suggested with a shrug, "We need to check the area where the incident was going to happen."


    "Yes!" Luna cheered up with a sweet smile painted on her face.


    "Do you still remember the image that the spell showed you?" Isaac asked.


    "Yes." Luna remembered those fractions of memories, "I think I saw one of the buildings that were in that memory. There were skyscrapers, and the taxi driver said that only District Ten has them."


    "So, the attack is going to happen here." Isaac nodded with a thoughtful expression, ''Is the Rogue Chain Breaker member from a wealthy family? That would be new¡­


    ''Usually, the wealthy families have their family members on a tight leash and have taught them to control their abilities.''


    "I am going to y for tonight. Are youing?" Luna asked while taking out his VR Helmet.


    "No, I need to make a call," Isaac said while showing his cell phone.


    "Alright!" Luna ced the helmet around her face and tapped the button. Soon, the skinsuit covered her body, and she entered the World of White.


    Isaac jumped to his feet and left the room. Then, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number.


    The phone rang for a moment before it was connected.


    "Hello." Isaac leaned against the hallway wall and heard soft breathinging from the other side of the line.


    "Hello." The voice was deep.


    "Are your men ready?" Isaac asked while scratching his elbow.


    "Yes, why?"


    "I am in Happugh, and this is where it will happen."


    "You are where?!" The voice screeched, "Return to Snowstar, please!"


    "I have a n." Isaac tried to calm down the person, "Have some faith."


    "Sigh¡­ What is it?"


    "It involves Chain Breaker, Sword of Myth, and News Station."


    "You can''t be¡­ thinking about doing that?!"


    "Yes, and I will do it."


    "It will be risky, and making All-America your enemy is not wise." The voice sounded worried for a moment.


    "I will be fine, but he will definitelye here." Isaac turned his head left and right. The hallway was empty.


    "He will definitely go there."


    "Yes, but have you found out who the Sword of Myth member is?" Isaac asked, and it was one of the most important questions.


    "Yes¡­ I have received reports of All-In-One appearing in Happugh''s Airport."


    "Hahaha!" Isaac surprisinglyughed, "Perfect. Now, the chance of seeding rose from 50% to 90%."


    "Hah¡­" The voice was also amused, "Indeed¡­ That battle junkie will ruin the Sword of Myth''s reputation."


    "I will handle it, and just keep your men ready. Sword of Myth''s reputation will sink to the sewers, and all Rogue Chain Breakers think this will be their chance to rise.


    "But, then you guys appear and handle it better than Sword of Myth in every way."


    "I will keep them on standby¡­" The voice turned silent before continuing, "Be safe."


    "Always." Isaac then disconnected the call and took a deep breath, "Haahh¡­"

 Chapter 488 Crazed world (1)

    Chapter 488 Crazed world (1)


    "This is the ce," Luna said while standing on the sidewalk. She and Isaac went to examine the location of the incident; unfortunately, it was in a very popted area.


    It was close to the main street, with crowded sidewalks, bustling restaurants, and towering skyscrapers. However, luckily there weren''t any apartments near.


    "This is going to be tricky¡­" Isaac said while rubbing his chin. Keeping everyone safe from the fight''s aftermath was incredibly difficult. After joining the fight, he would need to tread very carefully.


    It wasn''t possible to use Meteor Descent and Seismic-Wave. Otherwise big portion of the City would get destroyed.


    "I am not too sure about this¡­" Luna bit her nail and asked, "Isn''t it possible to make them fight somewhere else?"


    "No, it would be too obvious." Isaac sighed, "They can''t know about our existence until it''s toote. Also, the more popted the area, the bigger the effect."


    ''''I am not confident.'''' Luna said with worry, "There are a lot of people."


    "The people will run away once the fight starts." Isaac tapped her shoulder asfort, "They will retreat far away, and you just have to cover them."


    "A-Alright." Luna''s hands trembled as she tried to think of a spell that would help her the most.


    "Let''s return to the hotel to n this more thoroughly," Isaac said while taking out his camera. He snapped several pictures of the surrounding area and then packed the camera into his bag.


    Soon, they left and returned to the hotel.


    ¡­


    "Ugh¡­" Henry walked out of his dirty apartment and felt the sunlight caressing his gaunt face. The apartmentplex was eerily quiet like no one was there.


    That gave him a slight sense of satisfaction. However, the sound of footstepsing from pedestrians disturbed his peace, and the humming of car engines made him angry. Also, seeing the towering skyscrapers made him thirsty for blood.


    "I want this ce to be quiet¡­ quiet¡­"


    With his left hand, he pulled out a blood-stained knife. It wasn''t the result of just one or two kills; instead, there were a dozen types of blood mixed. There was a sign of blood stains on the hallway floors.


    Henry hatefully red at the nearby pedestrians and murmured chilly word, "Silence¡­"


    ¡­


    Six dayster.


    Arge sma TV showed a News broadcast.


    A man with short ck hair, a navy-colored suit, and stacks of papers in hand appeared. His lips slowly curved into a smile as he spoke about tonight''s news.


    At first, he talked about the state of Laughshow, and then it was time for the weather and the sports. Lastly, his smile vanished as he received a piece of news on his earbud.


    His seriousness was captured by the camera, and the citizens watching turned silent.


    "Tonight, there has been another murder." He said with trembling hands, "It was the tenth killing in the past six days, and the culprit¡­ seems to be the same.


    "The murder was, once again, extremely brutal and seemed to be the work of a serial killer. The police have been trying everything in their power to capture the killer, but they couldn''t catch even a glimpse of the culprit.


    "Tonight''s killing happened in District Nine, which is only walking distance away from District Ten. The first batch of murders urred in District Zero, then District Six, until finally, the killer arrived in District Nine.


    "Police are suggesting everyone to not wander during the night because it looks like the serial killer is active after 7 o''clock in the evening, and one of the murders even happened close to the midnight."


    nk.


    The TV screen turned dark.


    "Hmm¡­" Luna thoughtfully pondered after hearing the news.


    The bathroom door opened, and Isaac arrived with a towel surrounding his body.


    "Isaac, there is apparently a serial killer on the loose, and I have a feeling that it might be that Rogue Chain Breaker."


    "Really?" Isaac clicked his tongue, "The irvoyance Spell didn''t treat this as a serious incident?"


    "I guess so." Luna sighed, "Sometimes the spells have a mind of their own."


    Isaac went to the wardrobe, took out his bag, and changed clothes. Then, he returned to the bed and asked, "Tomorrow is the day. Are you prepared?"


    "Yup!" Luna chirped with a slightly forced smile. She was nervous and scared that she might fail.


    "Good." Isaac nodded but didn''t overlook her nervousness. However, he knew that when things got hard, she would be able to handle it.


    ¡­


    The following day.


    Inside an empty restaurant.


    A dark-haired figure sat alone in the restaurant, eating a well-cooked steak. He stabbed his fork into the juicy part and used a knife to cut it. Then, he put the piece of steak inside his mouth and started chewing.


    This person was All-In-One. He wasn''t feeling well because he couldn''t find the person he''d came here for. He searched Henry''s apartment in District Zero, but there wasn''t any sign of anyone being there for close to a week.


    ''Where could he be¡­'' All-In-One frowned while chewing on his steak.


    Then, the kitchen door opened, and the restaurant owner walked toward him with a humbled look.


    "We are very honored to have you, Captain of Sword of Myth, dining in our establishment." The restaurant owner said with a smile and tiny bow.


    "Mmh." All-In-One only mumbled as he continued chewing on the food. His focus was on the steak. However, then his hair stood up as he felt something strange crawling inside him.


    It was his instinct telling him to turn his head to the left.


    Turning his head to the left, he saw a hooded figure with a shadowy face walking past the restaurant. The hooded figure revealed danger signs, and even the dogs barked loudly as he walked past them.


    All-In-One dropped his fork and the knife. Then, he rushed out of the restaurant while the owner shouted behind him, "Was the food not to your liking?!"


    All-In-One ignored him and ran after the hooded figure. Soon, he saw the back of the dark hood and immediately grabbed his shoulder, "Hey, excuse me!"


    "Hmm?" The hooded figure stopped silently.


    "Are you Henry Feather?"


    "Henry? No¡­ I am Jack." The hooded figure turned around with a crazed smile and a blood-stained knife in his right hand.

 Chapter 489 Crazed world (2)

    Chapter 489 Crazed world (2)


    All-In-One flinched and took a step back. He could see Henry''s face clearly, which was not pleasurable sight. He looked like a demon who had just crawled out of the pits of hell. The teeth were rotting, eyes dark, and face muscles twitching like someone was pulling them apart.


    "T-This is bad. The legacy haspletely taken over!" This was the first time for him. He''d heard rumors of legacies taking over their carriers'' bodies, but he treated it as a rumor.


    It could only happen if the legacy were malicious and the carrier weak-willed.


    "Hehehehe." Henry suddenlyughed and lunged forwards. He raised his knife and stabbed it towards All-In-One''s chest!


    "?!" All-In-One immediately reacted with his excellent battle senses. He extended his hand, touched Henry''s chest with the tip of his fingers, and suddenly clenched it into a fist!


    "One-Inch Punch!"


    SMACK!


    "UGH!" Henry''s face disyed his shock as he was suddenly flying backward with his vision swimming. His jacket got torn apart, and his chest had a fist-sized red mark.


    "Whew¡­" All-In-One''s right fist was smoking as he unleashed one of his Legacy Skills, the One-Inch Punch!


    Crash!


    Henry crashed on the pavement and met with the shocked gazes of nearby pedestrians. He flew close to the hundred meters but still looked alright.


    "KYAA!" The pedestrians screamed and started running away. They immediately realized that the one who attacked was Chain Breaker. Most of them were White Online yers and could recognize immediately that they weren''t normal humans.


    "Hahahaha!" Henryughed and leaped to his feet. The blood-stained knife was still firmly in his right hand.


    The pedestrians circled away from him and ran away as quickly as they could.


    "Good, good!" Henry rubbed his chin with a crazed grin, "Finally, an opponent who won''t go down like a baby!"


    In the nearby alley, Luna held her wand with a concentrated look. She prepared herself to save the nearby pedestrians if Henry suddenly attacked them. However, luckily his concentration was on All-In-One.


    On top of the restaurant where All-In-One ate, Isaac casually sat while slowly taking out his cell phone. He dialed the number shown on the flier and then rested the cell phone against his left ear.


    The call soon got connected.


    "Is this Local News of Happugh?"


    "It is? Alright, there is a fight happening in District Ten, and I think it''s between two Chain Breakers."


    "How am I sure?"


    "Well, that one guy just punched someone a hundred meters away, and the one who got punchedughed it off!"


    "It was fucking crazy!"


    "Oh, you guys areing here? Good, good, anyway, see you then, and remember to bring the camera! This is absolutely crazy!"


    Soon, he disconnected the call and pocketed the cell phone.


    "Now, nothing can go wrong." Isaac nced in the direction of Luna and saw her looking concentrated. He nodded and focused on the fight.


    The pedestrians that had run away slowly stopped, and then one of them said, "I-I think the one who attacked was All-In-One, Captain from Sword of Myth!"


    "I-I knew that he looked familiar!"


    "Does that mean that hooded figure is Rogue Chain Breaker?!"


    "Oh my god, won''t we be in danger?!"


    "Rx, All-In-One is here, and he will defeat him in no time. Usual big incidents happen if the Sword of Myth member isn''t present, but when they are, everything will be fine!"


    "I-I hope so."


    All-In-One looked at his fist with a smile, "Oho, this will be interesting."


    Then, he saw Henry walking toward him slowly. The atmosphere immediately turned heavy as his bloodlust seeped into the air, making breathing very difficult for everyone.


    All-In-One put his arms as a block and said, "Henry Feather, bring it on!"


    "Hahahaha!" Henry suddenly lunged forwards and shed with the blood-stained knife.


    All-In-One took a step back, the blood-stained knife barely missed his arms, and he immediately punched forward with all his might.


    Henry grabbed his hood and ripped the jacket apart. Then, he threw the dark rags toward All-In-One,pletely blocking his sight.


    "Hmph!" All-In-One didn''t stop his attack and clenched his fist tighter. The pavement started cracking under the heaviness of his attack, and soon the fist ripped through the piece of cloth, and he finally unleashed the full strength of the attack.


    BOOOOOM!


    The fist''s shockwave struck the nearby skyscraper, causing the windows to shatter!


    CRASH!


    CRACK!


    The side of the skyscraper suddenly began falling apart, and heavy-looking debris fell to the pavement, almostnding on top of pedestrians.


    The pedestrians screamed and ran even further away.


    "W-What was that?"


    "Did All-In-One make a mistake, or did the Rogue Chain Breaker somehow control his attack?"


    "Hehe, you missed," Henry said as he suddenly appeared next to All-In-One.


    All-In-One grinned as he said, "Next one will hit!"


    He reeled in his arm and punched toward Henry''s face. However, Henry was very slippery and managed to dodge the attack again.


    BOOM!


    All-In-One''s attack broke the windows of a nearby restaurant and caused the walls to fall apart.


    The pedestrians couldn''t believe their eyes.


    "T-That looked like it was intentional!"


    "He isn''t being controlled. He just doesn''t care about the damage that his attack caused to the environment!"


    "W-Wasn''t Sword of Myth the good guys?"


    "There must be an exnation for all this, just sit tight and watch!"


    Henry shed with his knife, and the blood-stained edge barely scratched All-In-One''s forearm. A tiny drop of bloodnded on the ground.


    "Hmph!" All-In-One swung his left arm in a wide arc, and the fist barely missed Henry''s face as he suddenly ducked.


    The shockwave of his attack destroyed another restaurant wall, and it was now only staying standing with the help of two walls!


    Boom!


    Henry changed the grip on his knife and stabbed it forwards. However, All-In-One grabbed his hand and pushed the knife away. Almost immediately, he counter-attacked with a front kick thatnded perfectly on Henry''s chest.


    "UGH!" Henry staggered backward, but then suddenly All-In-One grabbed him from his neck, and he got thrown at the pavement head-first!


    "Rrgh!" Henry''s eyes shook as his head crashed with the pavement, and if he were an ordinary person, that would have broken his neck.


    "Is that all?" All-In-One asked with a cold look.


    "Hehehehehe!" Henryughed and grabbed All-In-One''s arm that was holding him down, "Aren''t you supposed to arrest me? More damage will happen if we continue fighting."


    "That doesn''t matter. You see, I really want to fight against strong people, and you are¡­ excellent sparring partner!" All-In-One grinned with his mouth stretching. His dream was to catch All-America and defeat him one day. To do that, he needed to get stronger.


    However, the training was useless when All-America could just throw a hurricane at him. In the end, there was only one training that could help him. Fighting.


    If he learned enough about fighting, maybe, just maybe, he could fight All-America and win!


    As the two Chain Breakers spoke, the News Stations started arriving with their vans. They had their cameras prepared and news reporters ready to speak to their audience.


    When they saw the destruction caused by the fight, they thought it was because of Henry, and that''s why they started their broadcast.


    However, they had no idea that their news broadcast would bring a storm to the world.

    Chapter 490 Crazed world (3)


    "Hello, citizens of Happugh." The news reporter who spoke was a beautiful woman with chocte brown hair and a heart-shaped face with an hourss figure. Her pleasant voice tickled the pleasure senses of the listeners.


    The cameraman recorded her and the destruction behind her.


    "Today, the assumed Serial Killer whose identity was Henry Feather, resident of District Zero, was finally revealed to the public."


    The camera turned towards Henry and All-In-One, who was still talking.


    "The one responsible for those hideous murders is finally going to feel the wrath of the justice!"


    Those words made citizens'' hearts pound with excitement.


    "Hehehe¡­" Withughter, Henry broke free from All-In-One''s vicious hold and smashed his fist on his face.


    "Ptui!" All-In-One''s nose bled as he staggered backward. He spat out blood from his mouth and grinned viciously.


    "?!" Henry widened his eyes as All-In-One suddenly pulled his head back and delivered a sudden headbutt!


    "Ugh!" Henry gritted his teeth as the hardest part of All-In-One''s body suddenly mmed into his face with full force. His nose was pointing sideways, most likely broken, and several teeth got blown away.


    Smack!


    All-In-One mmed his left leg into Henry''s thigh, causing a spine-chilling sound. And then, almost immediately followed with an elbow to the jaw!


    Thwack!


    After the elbow struck Henry''s jaw, he struggled to stay standing, but with his endless rage and willpower, he managed to survive the dangerous blow.


    All-In-One, however, continued unleashing his attacks. He punched, it struck Henry''s cheek, then kicked, itnded on Henry''s shinbone and then did an uppercut, which caused Henry to clench his jaw in a hurry because the fist would have broken his jaw, and teeth.


    Pow!


    The fistnded perfectly. However, the damage was minimal, and Henry managed to survive without any serious injuries.


    "Rah!" Henry''s grip tightened on the blood-stained knife, and he did a crescent-shaped sh towards All-In-One''s throat!


    All-In-One grabbed his hand, gripped it tightly, which caused the knife to drop to the ground, and again unleashed the One-Inch Punch!


    Henry''s instincts screamed for him to dodge, and as All-In-One''s fingertips touched his torso, he realized that it was toote.


    SMACK!


    All-In-One unleashed the One-Inch Punch, sending Henry flying towards a nearby building.


    CRASH!


    His figure flew through several concrete walls, and the building suddenly fell apart!


    The debris flew towards pedestrians, but luckily, they managed to run away safely, just barely. One of them got hit in the leg but managed to drag their feet behind and reached safety.


    The news reporter eximed, "W-What was that¡­ All-In-One''s attack seemed to be¡­ creating quite a wide amount of damage to the surroundings. The nearby citizens almost got killed!"


    The citizens in their homes looked confused. The citizens firmly locked their eyes on the TV screen and clearly saw the battle scene. At first, they were cheering as All-In-One was winning, but then, he unleashed an attack that was far too strong to be used near the general poption!


    In the nearby alley, Luna recently used one of her spells that slowed down the speed of the debris. Without her, several would have died.


    Beads of sweat began appearing. Not because she was exhausted but instead because of nervousness, she made a slight mistake, and because of that, one person got hit.


    dly, the injury wasn''t big and only a minor scratch. However, that was a wake-up call for her, and her level of concentration rose by a notch.


    "HAHAHAHA!" Henry jumped out of the broken building withughter. The knife was gone, but he didn''t seem to care as he reeled in his fist and punched!


    "Heh!" All-In-One also reeled in his fist and returned the punch.


    BOOM!


    The two fists struck, and the ground cracked. The nearby buildings shook, and the windows shattered, sending broken shards toward pedestrians!


    "Kyaa!" The citizens hurried away, and after running away further away, they saw All-In-Oneughing as he traded punches with Henry.


    "W-Why is heughing?!"


    "We almost got hit, and he isughing?!"


    "Who is actually the good guy here?!"


    "That''s right, and All-In-One has done more damage to us than that Rogue Chain Breaker has!"


    Henry and All-In-One were in a world of their own. They didn''t realize the hostile looks of the nearby citizens and only concentrated on each other.


    Each punch was destructive, each kick was deadly, and every attack was devastating.


    Pow!


    All-In-One''s punchnded squarely on Henry''s cheek. However, Henry suddenly grabbed the arm and twisted it!


    "Oh?!" All-In-One lost his bnce and fell to the ground. His right arm was dangerously bent, only an inch away from being broken.


    Henry gritted his teeth and tried to break it, but All-In-One''s bones were extremely tough.


    "Hai!" All-In-One did a punch from an awkward stance. However, the strength of the punch was deadly, and itnded right on Henry''s abdomen, sending him skidding away.


    Skid¡­


    "Argh¡­" Henry stopped sliding backward while holding the area of his abdomen. It felt like there was a knife in it, twisting inside his body.


    "Heh." All-In-One rubbed his neck and said, "You seem to be unable to defend against my Wing Chun."


    "Ptui!" Henry spat out blood and hid a broken shard from the window behind his back. He hadn''t shown why Jack The Ripper was so dangerous, but he was about to.


    The news reporter held the microphone with a shaky hand, "T-This scene is very unusual. This is one of the rarest instances of when we can record member of Sword of Myth fighting, and it''s even Captain.


    "However, it looks like All-In-One is as bad at controlling his strength, just like Rogue Chain Breakers! I thought Sword of Myth were the good guys but is this really true?!


    "Question remains, are all the destruction shown in the news done by Rogue Chain Breakers, or are Sword of Myth involved?!"


    The citizens were quiet in their houses. Some felt anger, some confusion, and some helplessness. If even Sword of Myth didn''t care about the well-being of citizens, who would?


    All-In-One suddenly held his elbows near his torso, stabilizing his stance. His rock-solid stance was unbreakable and one of the greatest defenses in the world. However, he could also use the stance to attack.


    He raised his right leg and kicked forwards. His leg tore through the air, going straight towards Henry.


    Henry suddenly moved his body sideways, and tanked the kick with his elbow. However, he also redirected the direction of the attack, and suddenly the shockwave produced by the kick was sent in the direction of the reporters!


    The beautiful news reporter paled, and the camera recorded the attack that was flying straight toward them.


    "I-I am dead¡­"

 Chapter 491 Crazed world (4)

    Chapter 491 Crazed world (4)


    The citizens in their homes closed their eyes. They could still hear the sound of the screaming on the TV.


    The news reporter also closed her eyes and prepared for death. Even if she could dodge, the aftermath of the shockwave would send her flying away. With her frail body, she would die instantly..


    The shockwave produced breezes of harsh wind was a signal that it was getting closer. The closer it got, the more scared the news reporter and cameraman got.


    Whoosh!


    Wham!


    A shadowy figure descended from the sky andnded in front of the news reporter. The shockwave hit him, but it suddenly dispersed and disappeared into the ground!


    The citizens who kept their eyes open couldn''t believe the sight. It was like the shockwave was too afraid to hit him.


    After the wind calmed down, the news reporter shakily opened her eyes and saw the back of a tall man. His white hair pped behind him, and the well-toned back muscles gave a sense of security.


    ''''W-Who?'''' The news reporter and citizens alike asked it in their minds.


    ''''You alright, ma''am?'''' Isaac asked while slightly turning his head around enough for the camera to capture his face.


    ''''W-Wait, you are!'''' The news reporter eximed and recognized the white-haired man!


    ¡­


    -shback-


    Local News Station of Happugh, inside a dark office.


    The beautiful chocte brown-haired news reporter scrolled down the White Online forums. Her desk was full of unfinished paperwork, and the building was turning emptier as the sun drifted further away from the sky.


    Ding! Ding!


    ''''Hmm?'''' She pulled out her phone and checked the notification that had just appeared on her phone. It showed that Streamer called Wraith just went live on StreamKing.


    ''''He is live!'''' She screamed with excitement. However, she soon realized her blunder and covered her mouth in embarrassment. She looked around, but luckily the building was rtively empty, and no one heard her scream.


    She grabbed the mouse, left the forums, and went straight to StreamKing.


    In there, she saw Wraith''s stream on top of the first page as the view count was rapidly increasing.


    [Viewers: 1,645,067]


    She entered the stream and saw the handsome white-haired man writing a book. It was a Slice of Life stream, but the chatters loved every moment of it. His streams were a rarity; usually, there was only one stream every month.


    ''''Sigh, he looks so dreamy¡­'''' She rested her cheek on her palm. The chat was moving quickly, and she could recognize many of the chatters being female by how they talked about him.


    There was another celebrity in the chat, known as Divinity, the sole mod of Wraith''s stream. No one knew who he was, but he was doing the work of 100 mods all by himself and didn''t seem to be even tired.


    People liked Wraith because of his mysteriousness, and people liked Divinity because of the same reason. He was an unknown yer and was also the one who uploaded clips and videos to Wraith''s VideoKing channel.


    People were desperate to find out who he was, and there were several rumors about him.


    Knock, knock.


    Suddenly, a tall man wearing a suit appeared in the doorway. He knocked on the ss door two times.


    ''''Oh, boss!'''' The beautiful news reporter stood up in a hurry while sneakily hiding the monitor screen.


    ''''Sigh, Linda, shouldn''t you go home?'''' Her boss said while massaging his temple.


    ''''S-Soon!'''' Linda said while sneakily ncing in the direction of the monitor. She might miss the stream if she suddenly left for home!


    ''''Right¡­'''' Her boss shook his head and left for home, leaving Linda alone in the dimly lit building.


    Linda immediately sat back down and turned towards the monitor, ''I would like to interview him, at least once¡­ Sigh, far-fetched dream.''


    ¡­


    ''''Y-You are wraith!'''' Linda shouted as she gazed at Isaac''s back.


    The citizens watching the TV heard her voice. At first, they didn''t realize who he was and felt silly after hearing her voice. They were astonished, and their minds became numb after so many things had happened.


    Now, they could also recognize the person, which wasn''t that hard.


    In a random household, somewhere in District Seven.


    ''''Hmm, isn''t he the one, our daughter, adores?'''' A middle-aged woman asked while sitting in the living room of a neat-looking house.


    ''''Hmm, Mia!'''' A middle-aged man beside her turned his head around and shouted towards the upstairs.


    Suddenly, rapid footsteps echoed from the stairs, and soon a cute round-faced girl appeared. She looked curious as she looked at her father.


    ''''Wraith is on TV, he was your idol, right?''''


    ''''WHAT?!'''' Mia skipped towards the couch and peeked towards the TV screen with her pupils shaking. After seeing his face on the TV, she immediately recognized him.


    ''''Why is he on TV? What is happening?!''''


    ''''Two Chain Breakers are fighting, right in here, in Happugh.'''' Her father said. There were slight tremors not long ago, which most likely came from the direction of District Ten.


    ''''Then Wraith suddenly appeared.'''' Her mother continued, ''''And saved the news reporter, who was most likely going to die!''''


    ''''Wait, he is here?!'''' Mia screamed in shock and pulled out her phone. Her ssmates were freaking out in their group chat. They were also watching the news.


    ¡­


    ''''Oh.'''' Henry and All-In-One ceased their fighting after Isaac arrived. Their instincts told them that this man was dangerous. In their eyes, Isaac''s face looked shadowy, like two dark red eyes were gazing at them from the depths of the darkness.


    Their faces turned pale, and breathing turned rougher.


    ''''All-In-One¡­ Isn''t it the Sword of Myth''s duty to keep the citizens safe? What the hell are you doing?'''' Isaac''s voice was powerful, and it was heard by everyone.


    All-In-One looked around, and it was the first time he focused his concentration on something else. His face turned paler as he saw the destruction and the angry citizens.


    ¡­


    In Tartarus.


    All-America''s face was dark as he looked at the monitor that showed the satellite image of Happugh. There was also a TV that showed Happugh''s local news, and his face grew even darker after Isaac arrived.


    ''''G-General?'''' A soldier whose upation was pilot arrived on themand deck.


    ''''Get the helicopter ready,'''' All-America said coldly, and the sky above Tartarus turned darker. It was like a hellish storm was about to be unleashed!

 Chapter 492 Crazed world (5)

    Chapter 492 Crazed world (5)


    ''''Oh, a beast has arrived,'''' Henry said while feeling the broken window fragment digging deep into his palm.


    ''Well, it doesn''t matter¡­ People die all the same.''


    ''''Damn it.'''' All-In-One scratched his head in frustration, ''General is going to give me an earful for this, but I can still fix this. I have to turn the tides somehow and make this white-haired brat the public enemy.


    ''I am still Sword of Myth''s Captain, and my reputation will withstand all the heat.''


    He nced in the direction of the nearby bystanders, and a smirk found its way on his face, ''The bystanders are still quite close, and one slip of control is needed to kill them. This white-haired brat definitely doesn''t have the required control to keep them safe, hehe.''


    A tiny spark of me ignited inside the destroyed restaurant. That tiny spark suddenly exploded, and the whole restaurant immediately got engulfed in a fiery ze!


    ''''RAAAH!'''' Henry started running towards Isaac while holding the broken ss piece above his head. Once nearing his target, he let go of the ss chunk and threw it toward the white-haired man.


    ''''Watch out!'''' Linda screamed while the cameraman recorded everything. The citizens held their breath.


    Isaac moved his right hand and caught the ss shard, covered in blood.


    ''''Hiya!'''' Henry leaped off the pavement and sent a quick kick towards Isaac''s face.


    Stab!


    Spurt!


    Isaac stabbed the ss shard into Henry''s leg and grabbed him from his thigh with his left hand.


    ''''ARGH!''''


    While Henry screamed in pain as the ss shard dug deeply into his flesh, Isaac let go of the ss fragment and grabbed the leg with both hands.


    Then, he smashed Henry into the pavement, causing a loud crack to reverberate in the air. The pavement cracked, and Henry''s screams got muffled by the blood gushing out of his mouth.


    Isaac grabbed Henry from his hair and pulled him closer. Then, a puff of cold air left his lungs as he suddenly breathed loudly.


    ''''Icy Shot, Breath Version!''''


    Whoosh!


    The cold air froze Henry''s limbs, engulfing them within ayer of ice. His face turned blue almost immediately.


    ''''S-S-S-S-S-S-So cold!''''


    Isaac let go of Henry and walked over him. He cried in agony as ice seeped deep into his bone.


    Linda shuddered as the cold air made her tremble, ''''T-T-There have been rumors of Lord Wraith being Chain Breaker, but there wasn''t any truth to those rumors until now!''''


    Isaac walked over to All-In-One, who suddenly started screaming, ''''Attacking Sword of Myth member is against thew!''''


    ''''Injuring innocent bystanders is also against thew!'''' Isaac shouted back and attacked with a straight punch.


    All-In-One grimaced and crossed his arms in ''X'' formation. Isaac''s punch struck the block but couldn''t damage his opponent.


    ''''Crescent Kick, Eclipse!'''' All-In-One unleashed his quick crescent kick, making his leg look like a leather whip.


    Isaac quickly raised his leg and felt the full brunt of the kick striking his thigh.


    Smack!


    While the sound was terrifying, Isaac''s face didn''t show any pain. It was like the pain was nothing but an inconvenience.


    ''''Tsk!'''' All-In-One then did a quick finger thrusts, aiming at Isaac''s throat. It was another famed Wing Chun skill, finger thrust.


    Pow!


    Isaac twisted his waist and smashed his elbow at the fingers, which were closing in. After the sessful deflection, he immediately countered with another straight punch!


    ''''Rgh!'''' All-In-One grimaced as his attack failed. His fingers were in pain, but he quickly shrugged the pain off and blocked the iing straight punch.


    He moved his left arm, grabbed Isaac from his cor, and tried to throw him to the pavement. However, Isaac nted his feet firmly on the ground and didn''t budge at all.


    ''''Damn!'''' All-In-One gave up on grappling and focused on pounding. He smashed his fist into Isaac''s left cheek and then reeled in his right fist. He attempted to do another One-Inch Punch!


    Isaac''s head got pushed slightly to the side after the punch contacted. However, his face didn''t show any pain, and he felt a strange sensationing from All-In-One''s right fist. A strong attack was about toe.


    ''''RAH!'''' All-In-One extended his fingers towards Isaac''s chest. After touching his torso, he clenched his fist and unleashed the full strength of a One-Inch Punch.


    Isaac clenched his muscles and nted his feet firmly on the ground. The blood vessels started protruding while the explosive muscles prepared for the impact.


    SMACK!


    The One-Inch Punch sent wide-area damage that destroyed the pavement and nearby windows. The citizens felt the ground shaking below their feet, and several even lost their footing and fell to the ground.


    Linda''s eyes shook because she knew the power of All-In-One''s attack. She felt fearful that something grave might have happened to Isaac.


    ''''Huff¡­ Huff¡­'''' All-In-One breathed roughly with a tired smile. Isaac was lying on the ground several meters from him. His chest smoked, and the shirt got torn apart.


    ''''Heh, this is what you get.''''


    The citizens looked toward Isaac with shocked gazes.


    ''''I-Is he dead?''''


    ''''W-Why is All-In-One trying to kill him?''''


    ''''Yeah, he was just trying to help.''''


    ''''What the hell is this!''''


    ''''Arrest All-In-One!''''


    ''''Arrest All-In-One!''''


    ''''Arrest All-In-One!''''


    Loud chants resounded in the main street.


    ''''Eh?'''' All-In-One looked at the hostile citizens with a confused look, ''''Why are they ming me?''''


    ''''This is what happens when you attack a celebrity.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' All-In-One whipped his head around and looked at Isaac with widened eyes.


    Isaac touched his chest and smirked, ''''Strong attack, but not strong enough.


    He slowly stood up, and the citizens'' chanting grew louder.


    ''''H-How are you still¡­'''' All-In-One rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was hallucinating. He put all his strength into that one punch, yet, it looked like Isaac was barely injured!


    ''''Your techniques are world-ss, I admit that. However, your level is obviously lower!'''' Isaac unleashed a seemingly ordinary right cross. However, the speed was faster than any lightning, and it even looked like the fist had disappeared for a moment!


    SMACK!


    Once All-In-One got hit by the fastest punch ever delivered by a Human, he fell to the ground with a swollen cheek and bloodied face.


    ''''W-What the hell¡­''''

 Chapter 493 Crazed world (6)

    Chapter 493 Crazed world (6)


    The citizens turned quiet.


    Linda and the cameraman looked bbergasted as they saw the scene unfold. They were certain that even the people watching from home were as shocked.


    ''''Ow¡­'''' All-In-One struggled to stand up. The dark shadow loomed over him, almost forcing him to fall back down.


    Isaac looked down at him with a cold gaze.


    ''''D-Do not¡­ Don''t belittle me!'''' All-In-One threw a sloppy punch thatpletely missed Isaac''s face. However, the punch still sent a small shockwave that destroyed a nearby building''s ceiling.


    The building started falling apart, and the citizens nearby screamed in horror as the falling debris fell straight toward them.


    The cameraman immediately turned the camera around and showed the destruction caused by All-In-One. The people at home looked enraged as the bystanders were about to die.


    However, then a gentle voice traveled across the air, and the falling debris stopped. They were floating in the air like they were held in ce by an invisible hand.


    ''''Hecate''s Magic, Five Circr, Fleeting Magic.'''' Luna appeared from the alley with a silver-iid wand in hand. Her pleasant voice rang in the ears of the bystanders.


    The cameraman whipped the camera around and captured Luna''s beautiful figure.


    Linda''s eyes widened in shock, ''''S-She is yer Night, known as Bookstore Goddess!''''


    She remembered her from Wraith''s stream, where they could often see her. The viewers loved her because of her immense beauty and gentleness.


    ''''It looks like she is also Chain Breaker!''''


    The people watching in their homes were absolutely shocked. There were four Chain Breakers in their City!


    An elderly man watching the TV looked angry as All-In-One tried to fight back.


    ''''Why is he still fighting and not giving up? Those two youngest want to help, but he is only making things more difficult!''''


    ''''How useless this Sword of Myth is. They don''t care about us, but only about their own profit!''''


    CRACK!


    Henry broke free from the ice and immediately started running towards Luna with blood-red eyes.


    ''''Watch out!'''' Linda screamed after Luna.


    ''''Die, you bitch!'''' Henry shouted, and the blood staining his palms suddenly started moving. The blood connected with each other, making a tiny dagger!


    ''''Blood Surgeon!'''' With the bloody dagger, he stabbed towards Luna''s neck.


    Luna waved the wand and calmly stated, ''''Fall!''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Henry suddenly lost his footing and fell head-first on the pavement.


    Crash!


    Luna waved the wand again and softly said, ''''Luna''s Magic, Five Circr, Skeleton Love!''''


    ''''ARGH!'''' Henry looked around his body and felt fear like never before. In his eyes, he could see skeleton-like creatures crawling around his body. Their hearts showed heart pupils while they chanted his name.


    ''''N-NOOO!'''' He cried in pain as the skeletons started chewing on his flesh. He tried to remove them, but his hand phased right through them like they weren''t there.


    In the eyes of the bystanders, Henry suddenly started screaming. There weren''t skeletons crawling around his body. They were only illusions.


    Luna stopped next to him with freezing cold eyes. She mumbled something, each word causing Henry to feel more fear.


    And after a short while, Henry passed out of fear, and Luna, almost immediately, changed from cold goddess to sweet girl. She gently smiled and looked at Isaac with a serene demeanor.


    Linda and the citizens were equally shocked. They knew she did some kind of spell but wondered what kind of spell. Henry, the infamous serial killer, was like a lost kitten in front of Luna.


    ''''Get out of my way!'''' All-In-One suddenly pushed past Isaac and started running towards the citizen.


    Luna immediately waved her wand and moved the citizens gently out of the way.


    ''''Tsk!'''' All-In-One wanted to take one citizen as a hostage but lost his chance. He put more strength into his leg muscles and elerated in speed. He soon left the main street and disappeared into the darkness.


    ''''All-In-One has escaped!'''' Linda said with frustration, ''''The citizens, stay inside, and watch out. We received news that Police are arriving, and it is a matter of time before he gets captured!''''


    ''I can''t let him escape.'' Isaac thought and jumped on the roof of the building.


    Linda and the citizens looked at him curiously.


    ''''Appear¡­'''' Isaac stretched his hand, and the famed Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle appeared out of thin air. He immediately aimed and focused his aim on the ninth district.


    In there, he saw the crowd screaming as something fast ran past them. He narrowed his eyes and saw an outline of All-In-One running immensely quickly. He passed through the district in only 10 seconds.


    ''''Whew¡­'''' Isaac closed his left eye and calmly breathed. His finger slowly pulled the trigger, and a loud bullet left the barrel.


    BANG!


    BOOM!


    The citizens covered their ears.


    Whoosh!


    The bullet ripped through the air and caused several loud booms.


    ''''W-what was that sound?'''' All-In-One asked while turning his head around slightly. Then, he saw the bullet tearing through his leg, causing him to lose his footing, and he bitterly fell to the ground.


    Because of his speed, he rolled on the ground for hundreds of meters, leaving behind a bloody trail.


    ''''AAAHHH!'''' He screamed loudly.


    Whoosh!


    After hearing a loud wind blowing, he turned towards the sky and saw a white-haired man falling towards him.


    ''''NO!'''' All-In-One pushed over his limits and stood up with the big hole on his left thigh. After the bullet tore through his muscles, flesh, and bones, it flew straight through the pavement and continued traveling who knows how far.


    ''''Hmph!'''' Isaac smacked his sniper rifle across All-In-One''s face, sending him crashing to the pavement. His eyes immediately turned white as he passed out.


    ''''Huff¡­''''


    The citizens looked frightened because most of them weren''t watching the news. They only realized that both of them were Chain Breakers.


    Veevoo, veevoo.


    ''''Oh?'''' Isaac saw several police carsing from the end of the street. After they finished parking, the police officers arrived and arrested All-In-One.


    Then, they left with him and immediately went to Police Hospital, where they already had rooms for Chain Breakers prepared.


    Isaac swiped his hair back after being alone in the streets. The air turned moist, and the bright sky turned gray.


    ''''Sky is gray, and the air moist¡­ He ising.'''' Isaac narrowed his eyes and tightly gripped his sniper rifle, ''''All-America ising.''''

    Chapter 494 lsaac Vs.All-America (1)


    ''''Are you alright?'''' Luna immediately asked after Isaac returned to District Ten.


    ''''Yes, he got arrested,'''' Isaac replied while checking the time on his wristwatch. He didn''t expect to wrap this up so quickly. However, another challenge was looming in the distance.


    ''''E-Excuse me.'''' Isaac and Luna turned around and saw the news reporter holding her microphone while the cameraman recorded them. She looked quite shy with pink cheeks.


    ''''Yes?'''' Luna said with a tilt of her head.


    ''''C-Can I get your interview, mister Wraith.'''' Linda held the microphone tightly and looked almost like she was pleading.


    ''''Me?'''' Isaac pointed at himself and was surprised for a moment. Then, he pondered before sighing and nodding, ''''Sure.''''


    ''''R-Really?!'''' Linda eximed in happiness and motioned for the cameraman to move to the side so he could give citizens a better viewing experience.


    Luna crossed her arms and walked to the sidelines.


    Linda moved the microphone closer to Isaac and asked, ''''What is your reason for visiting Happugh?''''


    ''''Vacation,'''' Isaac replied.


    Linda nodded and then asked, ''''Since when you were Chain Breaker?''''


    ''''Hmm, a few months ago.'''' Isaac lied with a straight face.


    ''''What is your Legacy?'''' Linda and the citizens held their breaths. It was quite amon question, but not many would answer it.


    Isaac turned silent and tapped his finger against his leg. There was a ''war'' in White Online forums, where people debated which Legacy Isaac had. They were sure that he had Legacy and that it was Marksman rted.


    People made polls, and the current voting situation was this:


    1. Chris Kyle - 31,48 %


    2. Vasily Zaytsev - 28,67 %


    3. Carlos Hathcock - 19,45 %


    4. Simo H?yh? - 19,33 %


    5. Abelbert Waldron - 1,07 %


    ¡­


    Isaac''s lips curved slightly upwards, and he said, ''''My legacy is White Death, Simo H?yh?.''''


    Linda covered her mouth in shock. She didn''t expect to receive a reply and was beyond excited after receiving one!


    Even the cameraman''s hands slightly trembled at the sudden answer.


    ''''A-Alright.'''' Linda then had one more question, which was a slightly more serious type of question.


    She cleared her throat and asked, ''''What do you think about the Registration Law, which states that every Chain Breaker has to register their legacies in any Government Facility.''''


    This was news that bombarded every news station a few months ago. It was still a widely-spoken topic.


    ''''I think it''s good.'''' Isaac crossed his arms and continued, ''''The Rogue Chain Breakers are doing whatever they please because they are drunk on their power and think that nothing can happen to them.


    ''''With Registration Law, we could easily spot the Rogue Chain Breakers. If they had an evil legacy, Government would keep a closer look on them, so I think it''s a must-have.''''


    ''''What if someone doesn''t register? That is amon counter-argument used online.''''


    ''''Yeah, but the ones who don''t register can''t keep their powers hidden forever.'''' Isaac said and looked straight into the camera, ''''People forget that we also have White Online, and in my opinion, hiding your legacy in one world is doable, but what about in two?''''


    Linda became thoughtful and thought that Isaac''s words made a lot of sense. After waking up from her stupor, she bowed and thanked him for the interview.


    Isaac waved his hand and left with Luna.


    ''''What should we do now?'''' Luna asked as they left the main street and walked on the snow-coated sidewalks.


    The amount of snow in Laughshow was lesser than in Starshow, and the weather was warmer.


    ''''You go pack, and I will go visit an old friend,'''' Isaac said while gazing towards the darkening sky. The storm was brewing, and even the citizens noticed that the climate had changed.


    ''''Will you be alright?'''' Luna asked as she was about to turn left towards the street that led to the hotel.


    ''''Yes,'''' Isaac said and whistled. A nearby cab driver heard his whistle and drove his taxi next to him.


    He entered the taxi and said, ''''Take me to Mount Faji.''''


    ''''Yes, sir.'''' The cab driver said and started driving.


    Luna watched as the tail lights got more distant. She sighed and turned around to begin her walk to the hotel.


    ¡­


    After half an hour, the taxi arrived at the forest that was at the bottom of Mount Faji. The cab driver said that he wouldn''t drive further than this.


    Isaac paid for the driver and left the taxi. The enormous City of Happugh was under the shade of Mount Faji. Next to the mountain, the City looked quite small.


    There was a snow-coated forest surrounding the mountain, but with ten minutes of walking, Isaac would arrive at the bottom of the mountain.


    He started walking, and after going through the forest area, he arrived at the bottom of Mount Faji. Almost immediately, he jumped and crossed nearly five hundred meters with a single leap. He continued doing that until he was at 3km height and reached the top of the mountain.


    Once he sat down on top of arge boulder that was situated on top of the mountain, he could see the dark clouds that nketed the sky. There was a storm raging not far away, and it was going straight towards him.


    After another ten minutes, a dark dot appeared in the distance, and then the sound of the helicopter''s rotors echoed across the sky.


    Heavy pressure engulfed the mountain and the surrounding forest.


    In Happugh, the citizens looked toward the sky and wondered whether a storm wasing. A sh of lightning raged above the dark clouds, and the wind grew stronger.


    ''''¡­'''' Luna silently watched as the dark clouds got closer. She was in her and Isaac''s hotel room.


    The TV showed the previous News.


    ''''Why he doesn''t want my help?'''' She pouted and felt like kicking the chair over, ''''What is he trying to aplish? Wanting to worry me to death?''''


    The scene was like from an apocalypse movie. The thickyer of clouds looked like a dark nket that corrupted the blue sky.


    The citizens were already running inside, away from the storm.


    ''''Well, I guess I will keep this City safe meanwhile.'''' Luna took out her wand and calmly said, ''''Luna''s Magic, Nine Circr, Veil of Love!''''

 Chapter 495 lsaac Vs.All-America (2)

    Chapter 495 lsaac Vs.All-America (2)


    ''''Eh, what is this?'''' The citizens looked out of their windows and saw a pink-colored veil surrounding the entire City. They suddenly felt refreshed and happy. Their hearts pounded in a strange rhythm.


    A few of them even remembered that feeling. It felt like the first time they fell in love, and the nervous heartbeats were exactly the same as on their first date.


    Luna''s spell, Veil of Love, was a defense spell. Itpletely covered the entire City, and it could withstand a nuclear st. However, the people inside the veil would feel their love igniting.


    The wife and husband, whose love life had died down, suddenly felt the spark of love re-igniting.


    Luna puffed her chest and nodded proudly, ''''This will keep everyone safe!''''


    ¡­


    Whoosh!


    All-America jumped out of the helicopter andnded on top of Mount Faji. After straightening his back, he looked down at Isaac with an enraged face.


    ''''Do you have any idea what you just did?''''


    ''''I do.'''' Isaac stood up and patted the dust off, ''''And I don''t regret it.''''


    ''''You should.'''' All-America stated and clenched his fists angrily, ''''Did Government tell you to do this?''''


    ''''No, it was my own choice.''''


    ''''Why?''''


    ''''You know why.'''' Isaac smiled and crossed his arms, ''''Sword of Myth is the problem; it has always been.''''


    ''''Sword of Myth won''t fall this easily.'''' All-America slowly walked toward Isaac, ''''We can just kick All-In-One out and say that he went Rogue.''''


    ''''You can do that, but will you be able to do that in time?'''' Isaac smirked.


    ''''What do you mean?'''' All-America frowned.


    ''''All-In-One got arrested, and I am guessing that he is revealing all your secrets, one by one.''''


    All-America''s eyes shook, ''''Y-You¡­ fuck!''''


    ''''Well, should we fight?'''' Isaac snapped his fingers, and his sniper rifle appeared out of thin air andnded on top of his palm.


    ''''RAH!'''' All-America lunged forwards and smashed his fist at the sniper rifle.


    BOOOOOOOOM!


    CRACK¡­


    Mount Faji cracked as two attacks collided.


    ''''Raging Storm!'''' All-America screamed, and suddenly a dark cloud engulfed the entire mountain. The lightning struck the mountain and raged around Isaac.


    ''''White Storm!'''' Isaac''s pupils showed a snowke pattern, and suddenly an enormous snowstorm arrived on top of Mount Faji and fought back against the lightning storm!


    ¡­


    Somewhere in the world, in Government Office.


    A man named Jacob Firehound sat behind his desk while the news disyed the fight between four Chain Breakers. He was the man who talked with Isaac on the phone.


    Knock, knock!


    Two knocks echoed from the door, and soon his secretary opened the door.


    ''''Chain Breakers have been assembled.'''' She said.


    ''''Good.'''' Jacob fixed his tie and left the room, followed by his secretary.


    They entered an elevator and went straight down. The elevator passed the first floor and arrived at the underground facility.


    After the elevator reached the bottom, the doors opened with a clink, and ten Chain Breakers seated on couches appeared in view. They were watching the News with curious looks.


    Jacob left the elevator and immediately said, ''''Everyone, I just heard a report that supports for Sword of Myth fell by 90%. News stations worldwide broadcasted the news in every Country half an hour ago, and the number is still falling.''''


    ''''What should we do then, Chief?'''' One of the Chain Breakers asked.


    ''''Ten nes are waiting for you all.'''' Jacob said, and soon continued, ''''Rogue Chain Breakers will appear. Therefore, you ten will be situated in ten different facilities and will keep an eye on a big territory.


    ''''It will be hard work, and some of you even have to keep an eye on fifty countries, maybe more.''''


    ''''Chief, that is a lot.'''' One of the Chain Breakers said with a slightly ufortable look, ''''We probably won''t have any time to y White Online then. How can we grow stronger?''''


    ''''First weeks will be difficult, I agree.'''' Jacob saw their hesitant eyes, ''''But, after the initial chaos, it will slow down, and all of you will have enough time to grow stronger.''''


    ''''Autumn Realm just opened. We would be left behind.''''


    ''''Our Government yers will find several hidden quests for you all to catch up.'''' Jacob looked around and saw a few nodding. But most of them still looked hesitant.


    ''''There will be, of course, big payment.'''' Jacob''s words finally attracted everyone''s utmost attention.


    ¡­


    The citizens of Happugh looked toward Mount Faji with utter shock. The whole mountain got engulfed in two different storms!


    The snowstorm continued wrapping around the dark clouds like they were a snake coiling around its prey.


    On top of the mountain, two individuals exchanged blows!


    Bam!


    Pow!


    Ka-pow!


    Thwack!


    ''''Ugh!'''' All-America staggered several steps back with a bloody trail flowing down the side of his face.


    Isaac pulled the trigger several times and sent several bullets flying.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    ''''Lightning Lord!'''' All-America extended his hands to the side, and suddenly two lightning bolts appeared on his hands. Then, he threw one of them toward the bullets and turned them to ashes.


    Then, he threw thest lightning bolt toward Isaac.


    ''''Pulverizer!'''' The Mosin-Nagant''s barrel shone in crimson, and a beam ofser explosively left the barrel and collided with the iing lightning bolt.


    BOOM!


    CRACK!


    CRACKLE!


    ''''White Storm!'''' Isaac grabbed the snowstorm like it was an actual object and threw a nket of freezing cold snow toward All-America.


    As the snowkesnded on the mountain, the ground frozepletely.


    ''''Deste Tornado!'''' All-America showed his palms, and suddenly a whirling tornado appeared on top of his palm. He threw it towards the nket of snow, which caused the snow to be blown away in the distance.


    The tornado continued growing bigger until it was the height of 10 meters!


    The wind grew extremely strong, forcing Isaac''s feet to skid backward.


    ''''Seismic-Wave!'''' Isaac pulled the trigger and sent the all-powerful shockwave towards the crazy tornado.


    WHOOSH!


    BOOM!


    The shockwave sted the tornado apart and even suddenly caused half of the mountain to copse!


    ''''God of Lightning''s Rage!'''' All-America lunged towards him while the lightning suddenly engulfed his entire body. He looked like a god of lightning descending from the heavens.

 Chapter 496 lsaac Vs.All-America (3)

    Chapter 496 lsaac Vs.All-America (3)


    "God of Lightning''s Rage!" All-America lunged towards Isaac while the lightning suddenly engulfed his entire body. He looked like a god of lightning descending from the heavens.


    Isaac lifted his gun and aimed at All-America''s shoulder. After taking a couple of short breaths, he pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    "Turn to ashes!" All-America''s voice vibrated as he shouted. He clenched his left fist coated with lightning and punched at the iing bullet.


    The bullet couldn''t withstand the power of lightning and slowly turned to ashes.


    "Lightning Str¡ª" As All-America was about to make his next attack, he suddenly felt ack of presence in front of him. The visibility was terrible because of the snowstorm, and he couldn''t see Isaac properly. However, he could feel his presence.


    Until now.


    The presence suddenly vanished.


    Pow!


    A snow-coated fist appeared from the snowstorm and struck All-America''s right cheek.


    "Agh!" All-America fell to the ground but jumped immediately back up. From the snowstorm, Isaac appeared with half of his body coated in snow.


    "Lightning Hound!" All-America smashed his palm on the ground, creating a three-headed dog made of lightning.


    The lightning hound roared and lunged towards Isaac with its jaw wide open.


    ''How many skills has he created¡­'' Isaac frowned and pulled the trigger. The bullet tore through the lightning hound and killed it immediately.


    The difference between White Online and Real Life was much bigger than the public realized. The Chain Breakers found out that they could create their own skills, so-called sub-skills that originated from their actual skills.


    However, those skills were unusable in White Online but were very useful in real life. So, in some sense, Chain Breakers were stronger in real life than in White Online.


    Also, there was also the thing with Skill cooldowns. That was nonexistent in real life. Instead, using the skills would drain the stamina rapidly.


    If Chain Breaker had low stamina, they wouldn''tst long using the skills. But, if someone like All-America, an army man, used abilities. He could use his strongest skill ten times before running out of stamina.


    All-America was proud of the fact that his stamina was at a very high level, and it would take years for anyone to catch up with him. However, he wasn''t expecting someone to have as much stamina as he does, or even more.


    Isaac, who couldn''t increase his strength since he was young, decided to focus on stamina. While the bodyguards of the Whitelock Family ran every day, building their muscles and stamina, Isaac sometimes joined their training.


    About the sub-skills, Isaac also created a few.


    "Roaring Hound!" All-America opened his mouth and spat out a tiny ball of lightning. Then suddenly, the ball expanded and almost swallowed Isaac whole!


    Isaac jumped to the side, dodged the ball, and afternding on the ground, he ran past the ball and smashed his snow-coated fist on All-America''s face.


    "Pft!" All-America grimaced as a spurt of blood flew out of his mouth.


    Bang!


    Isaac pulled the trigger, and the bullet struck the All-America''s torso.


    Crackle!


    However, the lightning that covered his body turned the bullet into ashes.


    "Hurricane!" All-America''s powerful scream caused silence to envelop the world. The darkening skies started rotating, and an enormous cyclone appeared in the sky!


    The citizens in Happugh screamed, and suddenly the whole City received a hurricane warning. There was an enormous ocean only a hundred kilometers away from Happugh, and the towns near the ocean even received tsunami warnings!


    The wind grew extremely strong, and a heavy downpour descended from the sky. The raindrops smashed against the ground and caused the whole Laughshow to be shrouded in a strange storm.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and aimed his gun towards the sky. His finger that was nearing the trigger suddenly showed strange ancient symbols, and it looked like fire engravings appeared on his flesh.


    "Meteor Ascent!" Isaac pulled the trigger, and the gun let out the strangest sound so far. It sounded like there was a rock moving up the barrel, scratching the sides.


    A bullet didn''t leave the barrel; instead, it was a small rock that started growing bigger. A bit by bit, the rock turnedrger until it was the size of two hundred meters!


    After the enormous rock was the size of five hundred meters, it got surrounded by a fiery ze that was hot enough to melt the snow that was five kilometers away!


    "W-What the hell?!" All-America looked bbergasted as an enormous meteor appeared in the air!


    The meteor flew towards the dark sky and broke through the cloudyer. The clouds dispersed, and the heavy downpour disappeared.


    A shimmer of blue sky appeared behind the dark clouds. But then, the meteor reached the upper atmosphere, and the blue sky turned fiery crimson!


    "Meteor Descent!" Isaac aimed the gun down, and the meteor suddenly started falling down. The dark clouds dispersedpletely, looking like the sky was in mes.


    The citizens screamed in Happugh as it looked like the world was about to end.


    "Are you crazy?!" All-America screamed as he gulped with a dry throat. Even he didn''t expect Isaac to have such strength in reserve.


    Isaac nced in the direction of the pink veil and sighed, ''That can''t hold the damage. I have to decrease the meteor''s impact, or they all die.''


    He snapped the gun around and aimed at the iing meteor. He pulled the trigger and calmly sent a fiery crimson beam towards the fiery meteor.


    All-America frowned and wondered what he was trying to aplish. However, to his shock, theser beam effortlessly cut through the meteor and sliced it in half.


    The second half of the meteor fell further away from Happugh and crashed on the ground, destroying the enormous snowfield that spanned dozens of kilometers. The ground got burnt to crisps.


    Then the other halfnded on top of Mount Faji.


    "RAAAAAAH!" All-America screamed and sent tornadoes, hurricanes, storms, and lightning. However, the meteor overpowered them andnded on top of Mount Faji, destroying it in the process.


    BOOM!


    CRASH!


    KABOOOOOM!


    CRACK!


    CRACKLE!


    THUD!

 Chapter 497 lsaac Vs.All-America (4)

    Chapter 497 lsaac Vs.All-America (4)


    Luna watched from the window as Mount Faji fell apart. After the enormous meteornded on top of it, a fiery storm engulfed the nearby area and scorched the forest.


    The citizens watched silently as they thought that the two Gods fought. They thought they saw the pinnacle of humanity today when four Chain Breakers fought. But, now, their perception of reality got shattered.


    In the police hospital, All-In-One watched through the window as Mount Faji fell apart. His limbs were cuffed,pletely disabling his ability.


    ''''H-He is here¡­ All-America.'''' All-In-One gulped in fear but looked slightly confused, ''''Who is fighting against him? That meteor ability wasn''t his, and whoever did that is fucking strong¡­''''


    ''''Maybe All-America could find that white-haired bastard and kill him for me!'''' He grunted in pain as he held his bandaged leg. The pain of getting shot still sent pain signals to his brain.


    ¡­


    ''''Argh¡­'''' All-America climbed out of the broken mountain. The meteor burned half of his face, and his clothes were in rags. It looked like he was dying, but then his legacy ability activated.


    ''''Typhon''s Resurrection¡­'''' He worded those words out of his mouth and painfully rolled on the ground as all the wounds slowly healed.


    After several minutes, he finally managed to stand up.


    The surrounding area was in mes, and the destroyed mountain was behind him. The destroyed Mount Faji still looked like it was nearly a hundred meters in height.


    BOOM!


    Suddenly, half of the mountain exploded, and a white-haired man with a ragged look appeared from there. Isaac got stuck in the mountain after the meteor struck but was otherwise fine.


    There were holes in his clothes, and several bloody scratches surrounded his body.


    ''''Was it worth it¡­?'''' All-America asked while scoffing, ''''Only you received injuries.''''


    ''''Yes, because you can''t use your healing ability anymore,'''' Isaac smirked and saw All-America''s face changing colors.


    ''''H-How?''''


    ''''How did I know that your regeneration only worked once daily?'''' Isaac shrugged his shoulders, ''''It wasn''t that hard. You were a very active fighter in White Online, and I just had to talk with several fellows that fought against you.


    ''''There were some that lost to you because you had your regeneration, but then some people talked about you not having any sort of regeneration. How could that be?


    ''''Then, I found out that those fights happened in a span of 1 day, and after that day, you fought against another strong Legacy Carrier, who lost because of your inhumane regeneration ability.''''


    ''''So¡­ you have nned to fight me a long time ago?'''' All-America grimaced at the thought.


    ''''Not really, only after I suffered the gruesome defeat. I don''t like losing, and I felt like fighting you would be inevitable.''''


    ''''You are still injured.'''' All-America wiped his cold sweat and extended his hand forwards. A ck-iid stick with strange engravings appeared. It was his Battle Mage weapon, and the strength of his spells increased by 25% when using it.


    ''''Heh.'''' Isaac aimed with the gun and pulled the trigger. The bullet ripped through the air andnded on the ck-iid stick.


    All-America used the stick to deflect the bullet away and immediately sent a whirling tornado towards Isaac.


    The green-colored tornado wreaked havoc as it suddenly appeared out of thin air.


    ''''Pulverizer!'''' Isaac fired the crimson beam and sliced through the tornado. The whirling mass of wind-dispersed, and the fiery beam continued flying towards All-America.


    ''''Dark Cloud!'''' All-America hugged the ck-iid stick, and the ck cloud emerged from the air and engulfed him whole. Once the crimson beam went straight through him, All-America reappearedpletely unscathed.


    ''Hmm¡­'' Isaac closed his left eye and again fired.


    Bang!


    All-America shed with the stick, and with the calm facade, he expected to deflect the bullet. However, once the stick was about to hit the bullet, it went straight through, and the bullet tore through his shoulder de!


    ''''Ah!'''' All-America let out a cry of pain.


    ''''Wraith''s Shot¡­'''' Isaac lunged forwards and used the silvery de to slice at All-America.


    However, All-America quickly responded and ced his ck-iid stick in the way. The de couldn''t slice through the solid stick.


    Swung!


    Isaac pulled the gun back and shed toward All-America''s leg. However, it was again blocked by the stick.


    They exchanged nces and started exchanging blows. Once Isaac shed, it got quickly blocked, and All-America immediately countered with his own thrust. However, Isaac deflected the stick away and pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    Whoosh!


    All-America sidestepped, and the bullet barely flew past his body. He raised the stick and smashed it down.


    Isaac moved the gun above his head and felt the full brunt of All-America''s attack rattling his bones.


    Isaac smashed his foot on All-America''s shinbone, forcing him to bend his knee.


    ''''?!'''' All-America lifted his head and got struck by Isaac''s knee. Immediately after, Isaac breathed loudly and puffed out cold air.


    All-America''s instincts screamed danger, and he rolled to the ground backward. The icy breath froze the ground.


    ''''Huff¡­ Huff¡­''''


    BANG!


    All-America raised his head in a hurry, panic shing over his eyes as the bullet left the barrel, leaving a trail of smoke behind.


    ''''Lightning Storm!'''' He smashed the stick on the ground, and suddenly the entire mountain area got engulfed in a lightning storm. As the lightning bolts struck the ground, they charred everything and destroyed the environment.


    ''''White Storm, Miraculous Winter!'''' Isaac mmed his palm on the cold ground and froze everything. The ground got covered in ice, and a snowstorm appeared from the sky. The previous crimson sky turned icy blue.


    The temperature decreased drastically, and even people in Happugh felt the decrease in temperature. They rushed indoors, away from the freezing cold.


    Inside the hotel room, Luna looked at the window as it got covered in a fog. Once touching the cold ss, she could feel the coldness seeping into her palm. However, for some reason, it felt warm and safe.


    It reminded her of Isaac, who was currently fighting with his life on the line.


    She ced her left cheek against the cold ss and closed her eyes with a look of satisfaction.

 Chapter 498 Gods Appearance

    Chapter 498 God''s Appearance


    "Haah¡­ Haah¡­" A man, around 50 years of age, concealed himself behind a small hill inside a dark cave covered with a smallyer of snow. A cold air left his lungs with every breath, and his strands of hairy frozen in ice.


    Behind the hill, a lightning storm raged, and a strange snowstorm that froze everything that was in its way.


    Several times, this man thought that even the sky was falling down at him. He thought today would be an ordinary day. He would go hunting and return home with warm food waiting on the table.


    However, it all changed instantly.


    After hours of hunting, he managed to hunt two rabbits and prepared to leave. However, then strange storms appeared in the sky. The dark clouds corrupted the beautiful sky, then bolts of lightning and snowkes appeared in the sky.


    One of the snowkesnded on top of one of the dead rabbits, and it froze instantly. The man immediately realized that he was in the worst ce possible. He tried to run away but could only reach the outskirts of the forest before the whole mountain fell apart and everything got scorched.


    Luckily, he found a cave behind the hill and barely survived there. After thinking that he would be able to leave, the weather turned freezing cold, and he would die if he took one step out of the cave.


    He didn''t know how long the cave''s ceiling wouldst, but he prayed for salvation. With two hands sped together, he said, "Please, God, save me from this peril."


    ¡­


    Above the hidden clouds, the beautiful pce stood strongly.


    "¡­" The God silently watched the whirling clouds that resembled a cyclone. With his piercing golden eyes, he could see past the cloudyers and saw the two people responsible for this immense destruction.


    "Not good¡­" He scratched his cheek while mumbling, "These two are strong ones and potential Generals of Humanity in the uing war. We can''t allow them to fight¡­"


    "But, what should I do¡­"


    Then, God lifted his head from the cyclone and thought about going there himself. It was forbidden, but there were a few situations when he could go there.


    One of them was possible doomsday. In his book, the current battle was the closest thing to doomsday in this world''s history.


    ¡­


    On top of the two-story building near the outskirts of Happugh, two young men argued.


    "But it''s cold!" A hairy-faced young man said while shaking in his boots. He held a phone in his left hand.


    "Your hairy beard and hair will keep you warm. Now, grow some balls, and start recording!" The second young man had a baby face with short brown hair.


    "Tsk." The hairy-faced young man started the recording program and pointed it towards destroyed Mount Faji. The phone screen showed a lightning storm and a snowstorm.


    "Can you tell who they are?" The baby-faced young man asked.


    "No¡­ the lightning storm messes up with the quality." The hairy-faced young man tried to zoom in and out. However, the quality was still poor.


    Then out of nowhere, his friend shouted, "Wow, what the hell is that?!"


    "What is?" He turned to look at his friend, shouting. He was pointing towards the sky, which suddenly started radiating beautiful golden shes.


    He pointed the camera towards the ice-blue sky that suddenly turned golden!


    A ray of light pierced through the white clouds andnded on top of Mount Faji. The golden light let out a chorus of angelic songs, and everyone who heard them turned silent.


    Suddenly, the lightning storm and snowstorm disappeared. The mountainside turned silent and tranquil.


    The phone screen suddenly blinked red, and it turned ck. The battery suddenly died.


    "Record it. What are you doing?!" His friend screamed as he saw the hairy-faced man silently standing while holding the phone that showed nothing.


    "Oh, right." The hairy-faced young man tried to turn the phone back on. However, it didn''t start, "Oh no, the battery is dead. The lightning must have messed it up!"


    "God damn it!"


    "Give me your phone!"


    "I left it at home!"


    "Damn it!"


    ¡­


    Isaac and All-America silently stood in the middle of the scorched forest. Their faces had scratch marks.


    All-America''s face was half-frozen, and the other half had turned blue. It looked like he was suffering from a tremendous cold.


    Isaac''s clothes were dark and smoking. He got hit by several lightning bolts and could still feel the currents of electricity running through his veins. It was painful.


    The fighting ceased immediately after the golden light engulfed them. They felt their minds turning calm like they were having a full-body massage session while bathing in hot springs.


    A white-robed man appeared from the golden light. There was nothing special about him except the golden pupils.


    "Can you two, perhaps, stop the fight?"


    All-America''s body stiffened. His mind ran into overdrive as he tried to think about the white-robed man''s identity.


    Isaac, however, stood silently while keeping his lips tightly shut. The moment golden light appeared, he knew who it was.


    "You must be confused about my identity, correct?" God only looked at All-America while asking.


    All-America slowly nodded.


    "I am The God of Four Seasons."


    All-America''s mind exploded at the sudden news.


    "I-I see¡­"


    Then, he thought about several things that concerned God. After his talk with Typhon, the person who gave him his treasured legacy, he learned a lot about Gods. And, he knew that God wasn''t allowed to interfere with earthly matters!


    "With utmost honor and respect, I must say this is between him and me." All-America pointed at Isaac, "As far as I can see, Gods shouldn''t be allowed to interfere."


    Isaac nced at All-America with a frown.


    "True, I am not allowed to interfere." God nodded, "However, no one would mind if I stopped this fight."


    "Are you sure?" All-America gulped, "Typhon wouldn''t be pleased."


    God didn''t change his expression as he continued, "You two are forces of nature with enough strength to destroy a Continent. This kind of power wasn''t meant for humans, and doing this will be harmful to humans."

    Chapter 499 Goodbye Happugh


    "No one is getting hurt except him." All-America said while ring in the direction of Isaac.


    Isaac rolled his eyes.


    "If you continued this fight, he would have died." God suddenly pointed in the direction of the small hill.


    "?" All-America and Isaac turned towards the small hill. They didn''t see anyone.


    "A hunter is hiding in the small hill''s cave, trembling with cold. The weather already made his face numb, and several minutester, he would be dead. But, now he will survive and can return to his family."


    Isaac waved his hand, and the dangerous cold disappeared. The weather turned warmer.


    "I didn''t know." He said after making the area warmer.


    The God nodded with a smile, "Yeah, I know. You used all of your senses to keep track of All-America''s movements and couldn''t focus on anything else. Otherwise, you could have died."


    All-America frowned, and even he didn''t feel any presence near. But, of course, he put 100% effort into focusing on Isaac and at every movement he made.


    "Can wee to apromise?" God asked while touching the scorched earth. Only ashes remained after the grass got burnt to crisps.


    All-America and Isaac nodded.


    "You two, tell me what you want, and I am sure we can think of apromise."


    "I want All-In-One," All-America said.


    "I want All-In-One to stay in jail," Isaac said.


    Their voices ovepped as they said it at the same time. After speaking, they red at each other.


    The God sighed, "All-In-One did something horrible, and he will stay in jail ording to humanw. You must ask for something else."


    "Fine, I want to meet Typhon in White Online," All-America said while crossing his arms.


    "That''s something I can''t arrange." The God shook his head, "You know that his status is above mine. I can''tmand him."


    "It''s fine, just tell him I want to meet him."


    "That''s I can do." The God and looked at Isaac, "Is there anything you want..?"


    Isaac shook his head.


    "Then, goodbye, and go on different ways. All-America, return to where you came from, and Isaac, please leave this country today."


    "Yes, God." They said at the same time.


    "Good." The God then got engulfed in a golden light and returned to the heavens. The radiant light disappeared from the destroyed forest.


    All-America and Isaac shared another re and then walked in opposite ways.


    All-America leaped into the sky and disappeared in the direction where the helicopternded.


    Isaac went straight towards the hidden cave. In there, he met with the passed-out hunter, who was cuddling against himself while trying to absorb any heat.


    Isaac took him into his arms and ran straight towards Happugh. With his incredible speed, he soon reached the hospital and left the hunter on the first stretcher he found.


    Then, he returned to the hotel and met with Luna, who was sitting on the bed with all bags packed.


    "What happened?" She asked and caressed Isaac''s cheek. Her eyes turned slightly red after seeing the scratch marks. But she managed to calm down before her sweet demeanorpletely crumbled.


    "The fight ended," Isaac said while rubbing his neck. Since he left the scorched forest, he felt slightly strange. It was like there was arge lump on his throat, begging to get removed.


    Maybe it was the result of his subconscious yelling at him. This was the first time when he almost killed an innocent bystander. The cold and meteor were all his fault, and each could have killed the hunter.


    In his opinion, it wouldn''t have been All-America who killed him.


    ''''Haahh¡­ Haahhh¡­''''


    p!


    Isaac pped his cheeks and went to wash his face while Luna followed behind with a worried look.


    After turning on the faucet and washing his face, Isaac felt slightly more rxed. He shook his head as Luna touched his cheek and checked his bags to ensure that everything was packed.


    "Are we leaving today?" Luna asked as she hopped behind him.


    "Yes, right now." Isaac grabbed his jacket from the bag and put it on. He changed his burnt clothes to new ones.


    "Right now?" Luna felt surprised, "Shouldn''t we wait for tomorrow?"


    "No." Isaac looked at her and asked, "What happened to the serial killer?"


    "Arrested," Luna replied.


    "Alright, well then, let''s go." Isaac dialed his phone and called the taxi.


    Luna grabbed her suitcase and bag. Then, she left with Isaac and went to the receptionist''s desk. They didn''t stay there for two weeks and thus received one week''s worth of money back.


    Soon afterward, the taxi arrived, and they entered the backseat. It took them to the airport, where the enormous screens showed the strange scene of Mount Faji copsing.


    After the battle of Four Chain Breakers, every news channel showed the battle of Mount Faji. Geologists talked about strange phenomena that happened, like a snowstorm, cyclones, hurricanes, tsunamis, and rainstorms.


    Isaac and Luna managed to stay hidden. After half an hour, they boarded the ne in peace.


    The ne left shortly afterward, and every passenger looked out of the window. The ne flew right over Mount Faji.


    The earth was scorched, Mount Faji in ruins, and the other half of the meteor was lying on arge snowfield that had also melted.


    Luna looked at the destruction with silent thoughts.


    Isaac closed his eyes and leaned on the chair. Slowly he fell asleep.


    The ne soon arrived on top of the clouds, and the trip to Snowstar started calmly.


    ¡­


    Inside a helicopter.


    "Shit¡­" All-America bit his lips while mending his wounds. There were a few medics waiting for him, and they were trying to remove the ice that covered their face.


    However, they couldn''t do much because his flesh would get ripped out if they removed the ice without any equipment.


    "Take it off!" All-America shouted as his body screamed in pain.


    "W-W-We can''t." The medic said while the helicopter flew unsteadily, "Half of your face would be deformed!"


    "I don''t care. Just take it off!" All-America couldn''t withstand the pain. He acted like he couldn''t feel pain when in the presence of God. However, the pain was unimaginable, and he felt like dying.


    The medics shared nces and gulped dryly. They grabbed the ice and counted to three.


    After three, they forcefully removed the ice, and half of All-America''s face got ripped off, leaving behind a sttered mess of blood.


    "AARGGHHHHH!" All-America screamed and slowly passed out.


    "Hurry up!" The medic screamed and started putting ayer of medicine over the enormous wound. They knew that All-America''s face wouldn''t be the same anymore.

 Chapter 500 One Heaven

    Chapter 500 One Heaven


    Inside an ordinary one-story building, somewhere in Autumn Realm.


    An average-looking yer with short brown hair that went over his ears unfolded arge map. It showed the City of Fall.


    He grabbed a pen and drew several X-marks on the map with red ink. After doing that, he looked across the room towards the couches where over ten individuals were chatting.


    He then turned to his left, where a silver-haired man looked out of the draped windows.


    ''''Captain, these are the ces where Wraith wasst time seen.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' The silver-haired man walked to therge table with the map unfolded. He checked the ces and nodded, ''''I see. It seems that he took this ce as his territory.''''


    This yer''s name was Xunter, and he was the infamous leader of the group with only Legacy Hunters. Their goal was to kill the people they didn''t like, and currently, they didn''t like Isaac.


    ''''Guys.'''' Xunter''s voice attracted the attention of everyone in the building, ''''We have a destination in mind, but we need to move onwards with extreme caution.''''


    ''''What should we do first, Captain?''''


    Xunter folded the map and said, ''''Scour the area. Let''s find a ce where we can focus our ambush.''''


    ''''Yes, Captain!'''' Everyone shouted in unison.


    Xunter slowly gazed out of the window. The pedestrians crowded the streets. Just not long ago, they managed to hunt another Legacy Carrier, which became messy.


    They killed him because they didn''t like how he looked at them. The Legacy Carrier started crying after realizing that he would die and said things like he needed only one ingredient for Dream Potion.


    After that, his dream woulde true after breaking the chains.


    However, Xunter beheaded him and stole a portion of his powers.


    Their Legacy Hunter''s group''s name was One Heaven, and it was the most hated group in the game. Everyone hated him, and Xunter''s name could even be found on the Top 10 most hated people in the world.


    ¡­


    Thud!


    Isaac dropped the bags on the carpeted floor of his beloved room. Several minutes ago, he finished talking to his parents, who were surprised to see him return so quickly.


    Isaac told them that he and Luna were going on vacation, which might take a couple of weeks. They didn''t mind it anymore and allowed him to go.


    As he deeply looked at his room, he grabbed the bag and went to unpack.


    After half an hour, he slipped the bag inside the wardrobe and closed the doors.


    Beforepletely closing the doors, he took the VR Helmet, and after closing the doors, he returned to the bed and entered the game.


    ¡­


    Isaac emerged from his house, which looked far cozier than before. While in Happugh, he and Luna redecorated the house and started decorating his store.


    The house was silent, meaning Luna had yet to enter the game. Before they separated, she said that she had things to do before joining him.


    Isaac checked his inventory, making sure that everything was there, and left the house.


    After turning right on the road, he soon left the neighborhood and ran straight toward the bustling streets.


    After reaching the sidewalks, he began walking toward his store. He went past several dojos and martial arts stores. The Martial Arts were very popr within Autumn Realm,pletely opposite to Spring Realm, where Church-rted things were important.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac walked casually in the streets until he felt something odd. A tingling feeling on the back of his head.


    He nonchntly looked around the streets, acting like he was looking around for stores. However, he carefully checked the rooftops and saw a few dark silhouettes.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Isaac sighed and started walking slightly faster. He continued looking around for stores. However, he checked the reflections from the store windows and managed to see even more silhouettes running on the rooftops.


    There were only a hundred meters before he reached his store. However, he didn''t n to go there. He was 95% sure that the dark silhouettes followed him.


    Isaac scratched his head while slowly turning around and, with a side-nce, managed to see a reflection of a lighting from the sniper rifle''s scope.


    ''Fuck, are they nning to shoot here?! In crowded streets!'' Isaac acted casually even though he screamed inside his mind.


    Children were walking with their families only arms-length away from Isaac.


    ''Who are they? They don''t care about innocent people getting hurt.'' Isaac frowned and clenched his fist. Suddenly, star patterns formed in his pupils, and the nearby children were fascinated after tiny star-shaped particles began falling from the sky.


    Whoosh!


    [Marksman of Space Used!]


    ''''Hmm, where did he go?'''' The yer asked while holding a camera that he used to keep an eye on Isaac. He was the sniper''s spotter.


    The sniper lifted his head away from the scope and looked around the streets. There was no sight of the white-haired human.


    However, then star-shaped particles appeared behind the sniper, which soon formed an outline of a human.


    ''''Behind you!'''' The spotter screamed and clumsily tried to grab his dagger.


    However, he was too slow.


    Isaac appeared from the particles and smashed his fist down at the sniper. The head cracked like watermelon, and the yer turned to particles instantly.


    ''''S-Shit!'''' The spotter pulled out his dagger. However, Isaac had already grabbed his neck, and with bulging muscles, he twisted the neck to the side and broke the spotter''s spine.


    ''''Ugh!'''' The spotter spat out dark blue blood, ''His strength is crazy! He managed to do two fatal strikes in an instant!''


    The health bar went down to zero immediately, and the spotter disappeared into a cloud of floating pixels.


    Ratatatata!


    On top of the nearby rooftop, a yer held a machine gun while pulling the trigger. A rain of rapid fire left the barrel and covered the sky in smoking bullets.


    The citizens screamed, and the panic started. The streets slowly became emptier. However, several elderly folks got hurt as everyone bumped into them.


    ...


    500th chapter!


    I want to thank all of the loyal readers who have made it this far, and time to start road to 1000 chapters.

 Chapter 501 lsaac Vs. One Heaven

    Chapter 501 lsaac Vs. One Heaven


    Ratatata!


    Isaac jumped out of the way of the bullets andnded on top of the same rooftop. The yer with Gunner ss turned his machine gun towards Isaac and continued firing.


    Ratatatatatata!


    Isaac weaved through the bullets and continued running away while the bullets barely missed his body.


    However, then a sh of light appeared next to him¡ªit was in the color of gold. A yer with arge shield charged into Isaac, forcing him off the rooftop.


    ''''Urgh!'''' Isaac fell straight down from the rooftop after getting pushed off. He spun around mid-air andnded on the pavement safely.


    Ratatatata!


    The rain of bullets followed and tore through the pavement like it wasposed of paper!


    Isaac rolled out of the way and continued running in the streets in the opposite direction from the citizens. Currently, this part of the city was empty, and only Isaac and the assants were there.


    ''''Hiyah!'''' The Pdin jumped off the rooftop and smashed his shield on the ground.


    CRASH!


    Isaac got knocked off his feet and crashed through a nearby store''s window. Afternding on the ground amid broken ss pieces, he immediately ran deeper into the store and hid behind a sturdy wooden counter.


    ''''Haahh¡­ Haahhh¡­'''' He clicked his tongue and nced outside. The attackers surrounded the store, and there were over ten of them.


    ''Did I see it correctly?'' A deep frown found its way on his forehead, ''There was a symbol on the Pdin''s forehead, and on the Assassins¡­ They are Legacy Hunters, no, maybe everyone outside are!''


    ''But who are they?''


    The Legacy Hunters have quite special abilities. They could choose any ss and use it for the rest of the day. However, after the day changes, they have to select another ss for the next day.


    Legacy Hunters could use legacies they stole for one month before they disappeared. Also, the Legacies they carry get weaker the more time passed.


    For the first day after stealing the legacy, the strength would be simr to the original, but then it would grow weaker.


    ''''Wraith,e out!''''


    ''That voice!'' Isaac recognized that voice. However, he wanted to make sure and took a quick peek out of the window. In there, he saw the silver-haired man.


    ''''Xunter, piece of shit.'''' Even saying his name made Isaac want to vomit. The name Xunter was taboo and hated by many.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Xunter pulled out two Remington Handguns and pointed towards the store window.


    [Stolen Legacy: Billy The Kid]


    Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!


    He started pulling the trigger, and the speed of firing was terrifyingly quick. The chamber was empty in only a second while the bullets tore through the wall like it was made from warm butter.


    The Gunner jumped off the rooftop and turned towards the store. He pulled the trigger and unleashed hell on the store.


    Ratatatatatatatatatata!


    Isaac silently sat while the bullets shredded through the store. The wooden counter got shot into pieces, and only a tiny portion was left. However, all the bullets barely missed his body.


    After everyone stopped firing, Xunter shouted, ''''Wraith,e out! Those were warning shots!''''


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac grabbed a silver pistol from the inventory and strapped the holster around his waist.


    ''''Who was the poor fellow who got his legacy stolen?''''


    Xunter turned silent because he hated the word stolen. In his opinion, all the legacies that yers got weren''t theirs. So what if he got their legacies? He didn''t think of it as stealing.


    Initially, all the yers thought that Legacy Hunters would be a cool ss and liked by many. They enjoyed that arrogant Legacy carrier would finally have a hard time ahead of them.


    However, in the end, Legacy Hunters were even worse. After they got the taste of Legacies, they got obsessed with them and wanted to do everything in their power to keep their legacies.


    Their Hunter instincts allow them to feel the presence of Legacy Carriers. However, it wasn''t perfect, and they could only vaguely tell where one was. Thus, many innocent yers got killed because they usually killed everyone near the vicinity.


    One Heaven was still the most hated. They kill for fun and ruin the fun for everyone.


    ''''Shut up, ande out!''''


    Isaac stayed silent, and the silver pistol finally woke up from his slumber.


    ''Oh, such fresh air¡­ Wait, do I smell bullets?!''


    ''Wow, you are in quite of a pickle, surrounded by so many people~''


    Isaac smirks.


    ''Nah, just joking. Who are these clowns, and why aren''t you killing them?'' The silver pistol asked.


    ''''Waiting.''''


    ''Oho.''


    Outside the store, Xunter gritted his teeth and was about to yell fire. However, rapid footsteps came from the end of the street, and a guard wielding Knight''s uniform appeared running.


    ''''Drop your weapons!'''' The guard took out his shield and sword.


    ''''Silence.'''' Xunter shifted his aim and pointed the handgun at the guard. Then, he pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The guard widened his eyes and put his shield as protection. However, after seeing the crazy velocity the bullet had, he wasn''t sure whether he would survive.


    But then.


    Isaac stood up from the counter and fired the silver pistol.


    BANG!


    The bullet shredded through the wall and smashed into Xunter''s bullet, saving the guard in the process.


    ''''?!'''' Xunter widened his eyes and turned towards Isaac. Then, he saw the silver pistol''s barrel aiming at him.


    BANG!


    ''''Shit!'''' Xunter jumped out of the way. However, the bullet grazed his waist.


    ''''Ugh!'''' He crashed to the floor, and if it was One vs. One, he would be now waiting for death. However, the members of One Heaven quickly formed protection around Xunter with the help of the Knights and Pdins.


    They formed a crescent-shaped shield wall.


    ''''Now, I can kill them freely without being tagged as a murderer.'''' Isaac had learned that the public''s opinion was everything. If he rashly attacked One Heaven, they knew how to make them look good and him bad.


    However, now the guard could testify.


    Isaac jumped over the counter and pointed the silver pistol towards the shield wall. His finger slowly pulled the trigger, and then a powerful bang resounded throughout the City of Fall.


    BANG!

 Chapter 502 Surrounded by One Heaven

    Chapter 502 Surrounded by One Heaven


    Crack!


    ''''?!'''' The Knight wielding the massive metal shield shuddered in fear. The bullet broke through the shield and pierced his heart, finalizing the fatal shot that killed him only momentster.


    The One Heaven quickly tightened the circle and filled up the void ce. There still wasn''t any way to shoot Xunter, who had risen to his feet.


    From behind the shields, two men holding assault rifles rose to their feet and pulled the triggers.


    Ratatatatatatatata!


    The bullets flew over the shields and broke through the store windows, destroying everything inside.


    Tap! Tap! Tap!


    Isaac ran out of the way and crossed his arms. Then, he sprinted quicker and jumped through a destroyed wall.


    Hended in the cramped alley while the bullets destroyed the store behind him.


    Whoosh!


    A person appeared at the entrance of the alleyway with an assault rifle. His grin stretched his mouth, and then he pulled the trigger.


    Ratatatatata!


    Isaac''s knees bent as he leaped towards the rooftops. After climbing on top, a shimmer of light shed next to him, and a curved-ded sword appeared with the yer wielding it.


    ng!


    Isaac blocked the sword with the silver pistol and skidded slightly backward. His heels neared the edge of the rooftop.


    The yer with the curved-ded sword lunged forwards.


    Isaac lifted the gun and pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    The yer moved the curved-ded sword in front of him and deflected the bullet. However, as the impact struck him, his arm got flung to the side.


    ''''Damn, such strong bullet!'''' He cried out.


    Isaac was about to fire another bullet, but then four Knights surrounded him and shed with their longswords.


    ''''Pulverizer!'''' The barrel of the silver pistol shone in deadly crimson, and then theser beam blinded the Knights.


    Isaac waved the gun around him, and theser beam followed. The Knights responded with a block. They put their shields as a guard.


    Theser beam struck the shields and sent them flying towards the ends of the streets.


    BANG!


    Then, a loud bang reverberated across the air. A single sniper bullet ripped through the air and neared Isaac''s face!


    Isaac pulled his head back and barely dodged the sniper bullet. Before the next bullet, he jumped out of the rooftop andnded calmly on the pavement.


    Crash!


    A nearby wall fell apart as Xunter appeared with two handguns held in his hands. He fired with blinding speed, and the sound was quite mystifying. It sounded like someone was drilling through metal while the sparks worked as fireworks.


    Brrr, bang, brr, bang, screech!


    Isaac immediately reacted and weaved through the dozen bullets. After surviving the bullets, he raised the gun and fired with a cold look on his face.


    Bang!


    Xunter''s face didn''t change.


    Whoosh!


    A shining Pdin rushed from the destroyed store and stopped before the bullet. He moved the massive shield against the bullet and sent it flying away.


    Isaac nced around him and frowned. The swordsman jumped off the road, the Pdin started charging towards him, the Gunners appeared on top of the rooftop, and Xunter moved to safety.


    The One Heaven surrounded him.


    Swoosh!


    The Pdin hacked his sword down, but Isaac dodged it with a small margin. Then, he fired the bullet. However, the Pdin had already ced the shield as protection.


    ng!


    The bullet couldn''t prate through the sturdy shield.


    Rataatatata!


    The men wielding the assault rifles unleashed hell upon them. The bullets filled the sky.


    The Pdin immediately jumped out of the way.


    Isaac looked towards the sky, where hundreds of bullets rained on top of him. His pupils looked serious, but then a little star pattern appeared.


    Boom!


    Crack!


    The bullets caused the pavement to look like swiss cheese.


    After the smoke cleared, the members of One Heaven concentrated on the destroyed pavement. But there wasn''t anyone there.


    ''''Where is he?!'''' Xunter screamed and looked around the street. There were only members of One Heaven.


    On top of a tall building with a pointy rooftop, Isaac watched them like a hawk eyeing his prey.


    He saw Xunter barking orders, and then members of One Heaven started sweeping through the area. They were in perfect coordination.


    ''The rumor of members of One Heaven being part of the Army seems to be true.'' Isaac thought while watching their perfect coordination. They cleared the buildings with impressive momentum.


    Isaac took out the magazine and saw a single bullet in there. He frowned.


    ''I have unlimited ammo, so don''t worry about that.'' The silver pistol assured him.


    ''I have a question.'' Isaac put the magazine back and asked, ''Where are you from, and are you a person?''


    ''My real identity would make you want to worship me.'' The silver pistol said with a smug voice.


    Isaac looked at the silver pistol with a deep look. He didn''t feel likeughing at that answer¡ªinstead, it made him more curious.


    Also, he still wondered why such a weapon would want to be with him.


    ''''He is there!'''' Suddenly, a shout came from one of the One Heaven members. It was a Marksman with excellent eyesight. He barely managed to see Isaac on top of the rooftop.


    Xunter whipped his head around and started firing his guns. The bullets explosively flew towards the rooftop, destroying it into pieces.


    Isaac casually jumped off the rooftop andnded on top of another roof. He continued running, weaving, and dodging through the bullets.


    However, after his feet left the ground, his vision turned foggier until bingpletely dark!


    ''''Eh?!'''' Isaac blinked but still couldn''t see anything. He had turned blind!


    Bam!


    Crash!


    He crashed into the building and fell onto the empty streets. Soon, his figure crashed on the hard ground, and his health bar slightly fluctuated.


    ''What the hell?!'' Isaac screamed inside his mind, ''Silver pistol, can you hear me?!''


    ''Yes, you are under a spell, and I think you are in trouble.''


    Xunter appeared from the rooftop and grinned while gazing towards the right, ''''Well, well, you finally decided to show up?''''


    A dark-cloaked figure slowly trekked down the street. The shadows got sucked inside his cloak, and the weather turned cold wherever he walked to.


    ''''You are being too loud¡­ The Guards will be here soon.''''


    ''That voice! It''s him!'' Isaac gulped in shock.

 Chapter 503 Divine Legacy

    Chapter 503 Divine Legacy


    The members of One Heaven gathered on nearby rooftops, looking down at Isaac with ridicule on their faces.


    The dark-cloaked figure lifted his hood and revealed his somewhat gentle and handsome face.


    [Underlord]


    Isaac tried to rise to his feet. However, shadowy chains suddenly appeared from the ground and bound his limbs.


    Underlord waved his hands andpletely locked Isaac in the chains.


    Xunternded next to him and grinned broadly, ''''Should I call you Under, or Lord?''''


    Underlord nced at him with a cold gaze, ''''You shouldn''t say my name.''''


    Xunter shrugged his shoulders innocently, ''''Fine, fine.''''


    Isaac perked up his ears and was sure of his identity, ''Underlord?! Why is he attacking me? Is he working with One Heaven? Why in the hell!''


    Underlord sighed and plopped down on the pavement¡ªhe leaned against a wall. From his pocket, he grabbed a cigarette and lit it up. After taking several puffs, he looked toward Xunter and said.


    ''''As I said, the Guards areing. There was that one Guard who managed to slip out, but I took care of him. We have around two minutes before we get surrounded.''''


    ''''Right, right.'''' Xunter turned towards Isaac with a wretched smile, ''''Then, it''s time for me to take dear Wraith''s legacy.''''


    Underlord nodded and crossed his legs, ''''Do it quick; we still have to go over our ns.''''


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' Xunter stepped forth, and his footsteps caused a terrifying tempo.


    Isaac gritted his teeth and tried to rip out of the chains, but it was like he was fighting against the darkness.


    Xunter pulled out the handgun and held Isaac at gunpoint, the barrel touching the back of his head.


    ''''Anyst words?''''


    ''''Urgh¡­'''' Isaac clenched both fists and screamed, ''''Fuck you!''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Xunter pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    Isaac''s head exploded, drenching the streets with blood. The pieces of skulls flew everywhere.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Xunter opened the interface and waited for his notification to appear. However, not a single message appeared. There should be one about his new legacy.


    Underlord frowned and looked at Isaac with scrutinizing gaze. Then, his dark eyes slightly widened as he saw Isaac''s fingertips twitching.


    ''''He is still alive.''''


    ''''How?!'''' Xunter scratched his head in shock, ''''No wonder he was called Immortal Wraith.''''


    The destroyed head slowly regenerated.


    After the eyes appeared, Isaac blinked several times and noticed that his vision had returned. The dark spell that took away his vision got dispelled after his eyes got destroyed.


    Xunter lifted the gun again and was about to pull the trigger. However, at that moment, Isaac''s eyes shone in brilliant crimson, and he unleashed Pulverizer with his eyes!


    The crimson beam cut through the shadowy chains and freed him.


    ''''Shit!'''' Xunter pulled the trigger immediately.


    Bang!


    Isaac didn''t dodge and allowed the bullet to hit him. It went straight through his forehead, leaving a bloody hole behind. However, he was still breathing.


    [White Death Activated!]


    ''What the hell are you?'' The silver pistol asked with astonishment.


    ''''I am White Death!'''' Isaac aimed the silver pistol behind him and pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet drilled through Xunter''s shoulder and sent him flying away.


    Underlord threw the cigarette away and stood up in a hurry. His eyes slightly shook.


    Isaac slowly turned around, revealing his immensely cold eyes.


    The grip on his silver pistol tightened. However, he slowly turned his head away and walked away.


    Underlord and the members of One Heaven stood silently, no one daring to go after him.


    ''''Argh!'''' Xunter slowly rose to his feet after getting flung several hundred meters away.


    His eyes showed clear disbelief.


    He slowly made his way over to Underlord, humiliation apparent on his face.


    ''''S-Sir¡­''''


    ''''Silence.'''' Underlord hid his trembling hands and felt utterly embarrassed that he felt fear.


    Xunter and the members of One Heaven lowered their heads. This was the first time they truly felt weaker than their opponent.


    ''¡­'' Underlord silently bit his lip and started walking away.


    No one opened their mouths.


    Underlord heard rapid footstepsing from the streets. He hid in the shadows and watched as the Guards ran past him.


    After they were gone, he left the shadows and soon returned to his humble abode.


    It was a one-story building with a dimly lit interior. There was a yellow crystal that barely lit the whole apartment.


    He plopped down on the wooden chair with trembling eyes, ''''What was that¡­''''


    ''''Maybe he knows¡­ I need to know what that was!'''' He took out a dark book with only three letters visible.


    [-RE-U-]


    He opened the fiftieth page and sped his hands.


    ''''Lord Erebus, may I receive an answer to my question.''''


    The dimly lit crystal darkened, and the whole building got shrouded in dark shadow.


    Underlord slightly shuddered but continued to keep his eyes tightly shut.


    ''A death¡­ It was a death¡­''


    ''''Death?'''' Underlord repeated the word.


    ''A death, powerful one.''


    ''''Is it impossible for me to beat that?''''


    ''No¡­ It is possible with power that exceeds the so-called boundaries of reality.''


    ''''How¡­ can I receive such power?''''


    ''You need to¡­e to my realm¡­ for one final test¡­''


    ''''Am I ready?'''' Underlord gulped in expectations.


    ''No¡­''


    Underlord''s hopes got crushed in a matter of seconds.


    ''However¡­ no one will ever be ready¡­ it''s your choice¡­ if you think you are ready¡­''


    Underlord slowly opened his eyes and saw an enormous head gazing down at him from the depths of the shadows. It felt like there was a primordial being hiding in the shadows.


    ''''I-¡­ I am ready!'''' Underlord stretched his hand towards the shadows. A dark pearl appeared on top of his palm¡ªit was cold and glossy.


    ''Very well¡­ if you pass my test¡­ you shall receive my legacy¡­''


    ''''Is it stronger than his? Is it above Mythical?'''' Underlord asked.


    ''Haha¡­'' The creepy voice suddenlyughed. It wasn''t heartfulughter, instead cold.


    ''Godly¡­ Mythical¡­''


    ''They are treated as the Peak, however¡­ there are ten legacies above them¡­''


    ''They are called¡­ Divine Legacies¡­ and mine is one of them¡­ Erebus, Darkness¡­''


    ''''Divine Legacy¡­'''' Underlord muttered with desire. Then, the dark pearl shattered, and a dark cloak nketed him, engulfing him wholly. He disappeared and traveled to countless Realms before appearing in the realm that was the pinnacle of darkness.

 Chapter 504 Absolute Control of Reality

    Chapter 504 Absolute Control of Reality


    Crackle!


    Sizzle!


    The sky was dark, looking like covered in a strange ck smudge. The dark lightning raged above the dark clouds. There wasn''t a moon or stars hanging above. Instead, it was dark, without any source of light.


    The shadows, darkness, and dead wastnds covered the whole realm.


    Underlord slowly woke up and saw the dark sky hovering above him. The weather was cold and soulless.


    He was lying on the ground, which was hard but also sticky. Surrounding him was the enormous wastnd with a dark ground.


    However, Underlord felt surprisingly at ease. It was like he''d finally arrived at his home after a long vacation.


    Sizzle¡­


    CRACKLE!


    The dark lightning, with rage, struck the ground.


    Underlord looked towards the lightning that struck the ground only a kilometer from him.


    "¡­" He stood up from the sticky and hard ground. After standing up, he could see a structure that resembled a temple looming in the distance. It seemed to be the only structure in this dead wastnd.


    He briskly stepped forth and continued walking until he finally reached the temple''s front steps.


    The temple was dark. It was like the shadows got sucked inside the pirs that held the ceiling up.


    Underlord walked up the stairs and entered the temple. There were ten shadowy figures praying in front of the altar.


    ''''Lord Erebus¡­''''


    ''''Lord Erebus¡­''''


    ''''Lord Erebus¡­''''


    ''''Lord Erebus¡­''''


    Underlord knelt on the ground and sped his hands. Then, he started muttering the same name as others. Itsted close to ten minutes until the ground shook.


    Tremble!


    Underlord snapped his head towards the left. He could see a massive creature stomping towards the temple. It was enormous¡ªits head touching the clouds while its hundred legs destroyed the wastnd under its mighty stomps.


    "Kraah, kraah!" The shadowy figures ran out of the temple and ran in the opposite direction from the creature. They looked to be frightened.


    Underlord also left the temple and followed the shadowy figures. However, his legs felt heavy, like he was trying to move across quicksand.


    "Eh?" He dropped his gaze and saw that the sticky ground was slowing him down.


    BOOM!


    One of the hundred legs struck the ground only ten meters from him. Underlord gulped and slowly turned around. He saw the shadowy creature looking down at him with dark and soulless eyes.


    The creature slowly opened its rotten mouth. A spark appeared on its throat that suddenly filled up its entire mouth. It looked like it was about to unleash a beam.


    "GRAH!" The shadowy beam left the mouth.


    Underlord looked towards the sky and saw how the shadowy beam looked like it covered the entire sky. The whole surrounding area became pitch dark.


    Underlord''s eyes shook, and he quickly mmed his palms on the sticky ground, "Shadow Ruler!"


    The shadows engulfed him, and he disappeared into the ground.


    With the help of shadows, he moved several kilometers away from the massive creature.


    Behind him, the shadowy beam struck the ground and destroyed everything it touched.


    After five kilometers, Underlord jumped out of the shadows and looked towards the shadowy creature that still looked massive with its head touching the clouds.


    "That was strange¡­" He thought while looking at his hands. While doing Shadow Ruler, his power level seemed off the charts. Usually, he could only travel a kilometer before exhausting himself.


    Now, he traveled five kilometers and felt fine!


    The shadowy creature slowly turned its head to the left. It could see Underlord''s small figure in the distance.


    ''How dare you enter Lord Erebus'' territory?''


    "Eh?" Underlord could hear a voice inside his mind. The voice was terrifying and unpleasant.


    He looked towards the shadowy creature and saw that its mouth was again open!


    Another shadowy beam left its mouth that covered the entire sky in pure darkness.


    As the shadowy beam traveled across the sky, it corrupted everything, including the skies!


    However, this time, Underlord felt rxed and not fearful. He continued looking at his hands and slowly touched his thumb with his middle finger.


    After the two fingers touched, he calmly snapped his fingers.


    Snap!


    WHOOSH!


    The shadowy beam disappeared, reced by million butterflies!


    The dark sky disappeared, and the dark clouds vanished. A bright blue sky appeared alongside white clouds and a yellowish sphere.


    "RKRUGHEIUGVHUYTGH!" The shadowy creature cried in agony as its innards got wrapped in strange energy. After a long agony-filled minute, the shadowy creature disappeared.


    The dark wastnd changed into a flourishing grasnd with beautiful wildflowers sprouting.


    Underlord sat down on the soft grass and moved his hand around. He felt like he could hold a on top of his palm.


    "What is this..?" This kind of power made Underlord feel overwhelmed and slightly drunk. He felt like he could do anything.


    ''This is the power of Reality!'' Another voice appeared inside his mind. Then, a transparent figure appeared from thin air, resembling a wise old man.


    "Power of Reality?" Underlord asked hesitantly. He slowly knelt on the ground and lowered his head as a sign of respect.


    "It is my power¡­" Erebus showed his palm, which showed an image of the World of White, "Absolute control of Reality."


    "Absolute control of Reality¡­" Underlord clenched his fist with a fearful gulp. It sounded like omnipotent power.


    "Your test has officially concluded. This ce corrupts the mind of the weak, and only people with a powerful mind can wield my power."


    Underlord looked surprised, and then notifications rang in his mind.


    DING! DING!


    [Legacy Received!]


    [Erebus, The Primordial God of Darkness, wants you to be his Legacy Carrier!]


    [Legacy: Primordial God of Darkness]


    [Legacy Rank: Divine]


    [ss: God of Reality]


    [ept/Reject]


    Underlord raised his hand and pressed ept with a shaky finger. The omnipotence was only a finger''s touch away, and he felt like his heart was slowly stopping.


    After pressing, Underlord''s body underwent a strange transformation. He suddenly felt like he was weaker than a moment ago. Now, he couldn''t change the weather as he pleased. However, that was as expected.


    For several minutes, he reached the unfathomable level of 900, but now his level got reduced back to 500.


    His face slowly showed a smile. However, almost immediately, his face turned nk, and he copsed to the ground.


    "Hihi." Erebus walked next to him with a giggle, "A new pawn¡­ Very nice."

 Chapter 505 Mother of All Life

    Chapter 505 Mother of All Life


    A serene and beautiful garden floated in outer space. The garden seemed to be its own world that circled around the World of White.


    The garden was gorgeous, with flowers flourishing under the gentle sunlight. There was a small pond with goldfishes and silver-colored fishes. A gentle hum filled the air¡ªsomeone was singing with a heavenly voice.


    A heavenly beauty with crystal clear silver hair gently watered the nts. She wore a silver-colored dress that left her back open, revealing her smooth and pure back.


    The long, silvery eyshes of hers moved smoothly up and down as she blinked softly in the breeze. A soft and delicate expression appeared on her entrancing face. The silver dress emphasized the hourss figure of her body, which seemed to be too holy for mortals'' hands to touch.


    She was the Primordial God of Earth, Mother of all Life, Gaia.


    As she gently watered the nts, she suddenly felt some strange surge of energying from World of White.


    "?!" She looked shocked as she turned her head around. The source of energy came from Erebus'' realm.


    "Erebus, what have you done?" She stopped watering the nts and stood up to stand tal. Surprisingly, she was very tall, with a height of 5 meters. The garden still looked simrly sized to her.


    "I knew that other Primordial Gods couldn''t stand aside and let the Gods handle this, but this is¡­ too much." Gaia looked saddened.


    "Divine Legacies weren''t supposed to be released¡­ they are too powerful for the mortal mind to handle¡­" Gaia looked even sadder as she looked toward the World of Four Seasons.


    Her gazended on the Legacy Company''s tower. In there, Arthur covered his body in bandages to mend his ever-growing wounds.


    The tower was empty, and White Paradise was in ruins. The public story was that there was a danger of radiation.


    In truth, wealthy families kept sending their Assassins after Arthur. The whole city was a battleground.


    Arthur couldn''t enter White Online to increase his strength because his defenseless body would get massacred in seconds. Thus, people surpassed his level, but they could still not kill him.


    Arthur''s current strength could barely make a scratch on their bodies. However, it wasn''t far-fetched to say that his techniques were the greatest in the world. Thus, allowing him to survive this far.


    Since day 1 of the White Online release, he knew that this day woulde when everyone passed his strength. Thus, he increased his strength as much as he could before that day came.


    When others were level 50, he was level 100.


    ¡­


    Gaia closed her eyes and sat down on the garden chair. Her soft toes touched the grass, and the silver dress flowed down her smooth legs.


    "Is it truly impossible to survive the iing doom without sacrifices?"


    A tiny sprout of a flower appeared on her smooth and silky palm. It was the flower of life, capable of reviving anyone.


    "¡­" Gaia silently watched as the flower swayed side-to-side.


    Then, she made her final decision and picked up the flower.


    The flower gently started floating out of the garden towards the distant floating sphere. During the flight to World of White, the flower didn''t get frozen, instead stayedpletely unharmed.


    Gaia watched as the flower of life continued floating away, "Whoever receives the flower shall be my child and the future..."


    ¡­


    Inside a well-furnished store.


    Thud!


    "Master?!" Ghost ran from upstairs and caught the falling Isaac, who arrived in his newly-bought store.


    "I-I am fine¡­" Isaac shakily stood up and took a look at his blinking health bar. He grabbed a health potion from his inventory and gulped it down. His HP slowly rose back up.


    Crack!


    The bottle cracked and disappeared.


    "Master, are you alright?" Ghost asked worriedly.


    "Yes¡­" Isaac stumbled towards the stairs and climbed to the second floor; there, he entered his temporary room. It had a bed with a desk and draped window.


    He plopped down on the hard wooden chair and narrowly opened the drapes. The streets were rtively empty. No sign of One Heaven.


    He sighed and covered his face.


    ''Underlord is working with One Heaven? Why would he be associated with them?


    ''He is famous among children, known as a role model for many, and he is associated with those bullies. I don''t understand this, not at all¡­''


    Ding! Ding!


    Several messages poured from his friends. Darth sent a few, and Luna sent one.


    He checked them quickly.


    Darth asked about his visit to Stronglord, where ck Arrow Guild was situated. Their Core Members travel across the realms, while most of their members stay in Stronglord.


    Luna sent a message that said she had arrived at the game.


    Isaac closed the interface and pulled out the silver pistol.


    ''How are you still alive?'' The silver pistol asked.


    Isaac traced his finger against his forehead. There was still a tiny scar. However, the healing potion cured the bullet wound.


    ''No need to answer, but you must be one of those Legacy Masters.''


    "Legacy Masters?" Isaac asked with slight confusion. He hadn''t heard that term.


    ''Legacy Masters are a rumor that has been spreading across the universe. No one knows much about them, but their abilities are known to be unnatural.''


    "Hmm¡­" Isaac frowned and massaged his temples.


    ''Anyway, what are you nning to do from now on?''


    "Why?" Isaac asked while tapping his finger against the wooden desk, "Is there a hurry?"


    ''Well, better be stronger faster than slower.''


    "Hmm¡­ Right, I should have leveled up from that fight¡­" Isaac checked the interface and was slightly surprised that he had risen three levels!


    [Level: 528]


    He assigned all stats to Stamina because it had grown to be an extremely important stat, especially for real life.


    His strength would grow exponentially if he continued increasing his stamina.


    After assigning, he put the silver pistol in the holster and left his temporary room. Soon, he arrived on the well-furnished floor.


    It wasn''t as fancy as in Priesthood. However, it still looked quite beautiful from the outside.


    Ghost swept the floors with a floor scrubbing brush.


    Isaac sat down on the couch and picked up a book from his inventory. While waiting for Luna''s arrival, he began reading. The next page of the story was about to begin.

 Chapter 506 The worst Generation

    Chapter 506 The worst Generation


    Several weekster.


    Since the Happugh incident, the Sword of Myth had been under arge fire. The public questioned them about many things, and the previous misdeeds theymitted came to light.


    Opposite them, the Government handled the situation with Rogue Chain Breakers excellently. Their reputation among the public rose rapidly.


    Captain All-In-One got sentenced to ten years in prison alongside Henry Feather.


    General All-America''s whereabouts were unknown. His current location was an utter mystery, which was not what the government wanted. It was easier to stop someone from growing stronger if they stopped their ess to White Online.


    ¡­


    Snowstar, in a modeling studio.


    "Good, good, excellent!" The photographer shouted with excitement as he snapped dozens of pictures. The light shing engulfed the entire studio.


    Isaac continued posing while hiding his irritation. He was modeling for his mother''spany, which he''d done several times. For some reason because of him, Isabe''s store exploded in poprity.


    Munch, munch.


    Luna munched on sweets while sitting on the sidelines. She also did several modeling gigs for a couple of clothes alongside Isaac. After modeling, she usually waited for Isaac to finish his.


    Isabe nodded proudly while scrolling down the pictures on her PC.


    "Wow¡­" The female workers gathered on the sidelines and silently admired the scene. They saw beautiful pictures in magazines, but seeing them in real life waspletely different.


    "Thank you, good sir!" The photographer bowed with excitement and quickly checked the photos on the camera.


    "Whew¡­" Isaac wiped his sweat and sat next to Luna, "I am so tired¡­ oh god."


    "Water?" Luna offered a water bottle.


    "Thanks." Isaac took it, snapped the cork open, and gulped the water down his throat. After the bottle was empty, he wiped his lips with a relieved sigh.


    "Good job!" Isabe appeared behind him and gave a powerful pat on the shoulder, "You can leave now."


    "Thank god." Isaac felt like celebrating. He changed to over thirty different attires and was utterly exhausted.


    Luna put the bowl down that held the sweets. She then grabbed her jacket and left the building with Isaac.


    They entered the streets with calm weather.


    She enjoyed the weather while walking. However, she then noticed a group of girls in the nearby cafe. Her feet stopped as she recognized one of them as Amanda.


    "Umm, Isaac." Luna held Isaac''s sleeve and gave a gentle tug.


    "Yes?" Isaac turned his head around and saw Luna strangely averting her eyes like she didn''t want to look him in the eye.


    "I have somewhere to be, so you can go home first."


    "¡­" Isaac narrowed his eyes and knew that Luna was hiding something, "Sure¡­"


    Luna''s face beamed as she nodded vigorously. She crossed the streets and entered the same cafe.


    However, Isaac didn''t leave and hid behind a streetmp. He curiously followed Luna''s figure that went past the windows. Then, his eyes widened slightly as she saw her sitting beside Amanda.


    The girls began talking with Luna. They looked to be excited, and even Amanda talked with a smile.


    ''Since when did those two know each other?!'' Isaac hadn''t felt this amount of shock in a long time.


    The pedestrians looked at him strangely as he hid behind the streetmp; he looked slightly suspicious.


    After several minutes, the girl group left the cafe and continued walking together in the same direction.


    Isaac left his ''hiding'' spot and followed after. Soon, the girls reached the nail salon, where they entered.


    ''Nail salon¡­''


    After another half an hourter, they left the nail salon with refreshed looks and went straight to a nearby mall.


    Isaac also stepped inside the mall and followed the crowd while keeping an eye on the girls. Soon, the girls entered a store that sold clothes.


    He hid behind a pir while sneakily gazing toward the store windows.


    "Hey, mister, you are creepy!" A childish voice came behind him.


    Isaac frowned and looked around. A little boy around eight years old looked at him with his round eyes.


    "I am not creepy. Go away." Isaac clicked his tongue and turned back to the store.


    "You are creepy!" This time, the little boy''s voice attracted the attention of nearby people.


    Small ck veins emerged from Isaac''s forehead.


    "I am not. Get out, you little shit." Isaac touched the little boy''s head and tried to push him away.


    However, the little boy pped the hand away and pushed his chest onwards, "That''s rude. I will tell my dad!"


    "What do you want?" Isaac asked with irritation.


    "Why are you creepy?"


    "I am not."


    "You are!"


    "I am not¡­" Isaac massaged his temples, "One of them is my girlfriend, so I am just curious boyfriend, that''s it."


    "Who?" The little boy peeked at the girls.


    "Her." Isaac pointed at Luna, who was looking at different dresses.


    "You are lying. She is way too cute." The little boy said.


    "What?" Isaac frowned.


    "You are creepy. Cute girls don''t like creepy guys like you!"


    "Y-You fuck¡­" Isaac covered his mouth before he destroyed the little boy''s childhood.


    He grabbed the little boy from his cor and dragged him away.


    "Oh no, I am being kidnapped¡­" The little boy said with a not-so-serious tone.


    Isaac stopped dragging after reaching safety. He took candy from his pocket, and ced it on the little boy''s palm.


    "Here, shoo shoo." He motioned for the little boy to leave.


    "No."


    "Why?" Isaac''s eyebrow twitched.


    "Don''t wanna."


    "Really?" Isaac held his face, "So childish."


    "Hehe!" The little boy showed his tiny tongue.


    Isaac looked at him with the eyes of a dead fish. Then, he sighed and suddenly disappeared. The sudden wind breeze almost caused the little boy to fall down.


    The little boy looked around the mall with surprise. The creepy guy suddenly vanished!


    "Eh, where did he go? Creepy mister, where are you?!"


    Outside the mall.


    Isaac suddenly appeared with an annoyed look. The nearby people flinched in surprise.


    "The new generation is definitely going to doom us¡­" Isaac said while heavily dragging his feet. He was going back home.

 Chapter 507 lsaac Challenging Lord Kalzer?

    Chapter 507 lsaac Challenging Lord Kalzer?


    Slurp!


    Luna slurped down the chocte smoothie while the girls talked about White Online''s clothes. They liked noble clothes immensely while not being big fans of the fighting attire.


    ''''Luna, I am so jealous of you.'''' One of the girls sighed with envy.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Luna raised her head with a confused look.


    ''''Everything you wear looks good on you.'''' The girl pouted while mulling.


    ''''That''s not true!'''' Luna tried to lift their spirits by suddenly puffing her cheeks, making her look extremely adorable, ''''When I first entered the game, I looked like an ogre!''''


    ''''Lies!'''' The girls said withughter.


    Amanda tapped the table and asked, ''''Luna, did you try those clothes I showed you?''''


    Luna''s cheeks immediately had a shade of pink, ''''T-They were cute, but a little bit too revealing¡­''''


    Amanda giggled slightly and pulled out her phone, ''''Then, what about this?''''


    She showed a picture of a onece dress.


    ''''That''s cute!'''' Luna looked at the phone with sparkling eyes, ''''This can be found inside the game?''''


    ''''Yes, but only in Autumn Realm,'''' Amanda said and pocketed the phone.


    ''''Mm¡­'''' Luna took another slurp on the smoothie while thinking thoughtfully.


    ¡­


    Isaac entered his room and plopped down on the bed. He grabbed the VR Helmet from the bedside and put it around his head.


    He pressed the button and was about to enter the game. However, a strange electric surge appeared, causing the helmet to malfunction!


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac took off the helmet and tried to press the button. But nothing worked.


    ''''No way, did this break?'''' He continued smashing the button, but nothing worked.


    However, a long minuteter, the visor beeped and started showing rows of mixed words.


    ''''Weird¡­'''' Isaac ced the headgear around his head and pressed the button. This time, the skinsuit engulfed his body.


    Hey down on the bed and said, ''''Enter¡­''''


    After his face turned emotionless, the helmet strangely let out electrical currents.


    ¡­


    Isaac appeared in his temporary room, where he put his temporary spawn spot. He left the room and went straight to the first floor.


    The store was already bustling with customers.


    Ghost sat behind the counter. He also opened the store by himself today. Isaac taught him everything, and he ended up bing a good shopkeeper.


    ''''Master!'''' Ghost stood up and moved out of the way so Isaac could sit down on his chair.


    ''''Thanks, good work.''''


    ''''Thank you!'''' Ghost saluted and returned to the backroom. In there, he started cleaning.


    The shoppers came with their books and paid for the books before leaving.


    That went on for the next half an hour until Isaac called out Ghost from the back.


    ''''Yes, master?'''' He came with the floor scrubbing brush and a slightly dirty face.


    ''''I am going out, so continue the cleaningter.''''


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' Ghost sat on the chair and continued being a shopkeeper.


    Isaac left the store and walked down the streets.


    After walking down for ten minutes, he found a carriage he could rent.


    The carriage driver acted professionally and told the price of the trip.


    Isaac paid him and entered the carriage. It will head straight to the Winter Realm portal.


    The horses neighed and galloped down the streets while dragging the heavy carriage behind. The driver used the whips to control the speed of the horses.


    The carriage turned left, right, left, right, straight until finally arriving in the area close to the Realm Portal.


    Isaac looked out of the window with amazement. There was an insanelyrge doorframe made of stone. It was taller than the nearby buildings.


    On top of the door frame, the majestic words ''Winter Realm'' adorned the top. There were dozens of guards guarding the ce while the pedestrians walked by calmly.


    Many looked at it with envious gazes. It was most of their dream to reach the Winter Realm even once in their lifetime. It was a legendary realm that was situated right below God Realm.


    ''''We are here.'''' The driver said from the tiny window.


    ''''Thanks.'''' Isaac exited the carriage and looked up. He was right under the enormous shade of the realm portal.


    Clench¡­


    ''''Is it really impossible¡­'''' A depressed-looking middle-aged sat on the dirty pavement. His clothes looked ragged.


    Isaac, with side-nce, saw the depressed man.


    ''''Winter¡­ I want to feel it¡­'''' He clutched his chest and coughed out blood. He wiped the blood away and sighed, ''''Before my death arrives¡­ I want to feel the coldness caressing my face¡­ I want to feel the presence of Gods before entering the grave¡­''''


    Isaac looked at him silently, ''The residents of Autumn Realm treat Winter Realm as their ultimate goal. It is like reaching the heavens for them¡­''


    ''To reach the realm, level 600 is needed. Otherwise, instant death would await on the other side. The temperature is freezing cold, nothingpared to the ce where Legacy Tournament was held.''


    He slipped his hands inside his pockets and casually walked in the direction of the Guards. However, stopped before reaching them.


    ''Level 600¡­ I need to reach it¡­'' Isaac pulled out his hands, ''To increase the percentage is so tricky. I need to suffer from my fights to even increase by 1%. However, I am stronger than everyone around me. I need the battle to make me feel like I could lose.''


    ''I can''t trick the percentage and use only 1% power during my fights, it won''t work like that¡­''


    Isaac rubbed his chin and walked away from the guards. There were only a handful of yers who could challenge him in a fight. There were strong NPCs, like the Guards, who were level 500.


    However, attacking NPC was like announcing yourself as a criminal. It was different when fighting against monsters and wild animals.


    ''Right¡­ he wanted to meet me.'' Isaac thought and remembered the scene that happened two weeks ago. Lord Kalzerpleted the dungeon.


    He also sent a message that circled around every news station.


    The message said that he wanted to meet Wraith and fight him.


    ''Maybe he can defeat me¡­'' Isaac''s eyes turned powerful, ''Well, it''s time to try. He is part of Mercenary Group that he surprisingly created half a year ago, and it has been the strongest Party ever since.''


    ''I have made my decision¡­'' Isaac opened the interface and checked his friend list. In there was a name in golden letters, Lord Kalzer!


    He pressed his name, and the chat recorded only several messages.


    [Lord Kalzer: Congrattions]


    [Wraith: Thanks]


    [Lord Kalzer: :)]


    Isaac tapped on the holographic keyboard and sent a message.


    [Wraith: One vs. One, in Colosseum]

 Chapter 508 Saturn

    Chapter 508 Saturn


    Clink, clink.


    A young man with raven-colored short hair sat in a dusty room. He grabbed several medicinal herbs and put them all in a small bowl.


    Then, he grabbed a pounder made of rock. He raised it and began pounding on the medicine herbs, reducing them to a powder.


    Bam, bam, bam!


    ''''Whew.'''' The young man wiped his sweat and poured the herbs into a ss bottle.


    Then, he grabbed water from the wooden table and poured it all into the ss bottle. Soon, the ss bottle got filled with water, and the herb slowly started merging with the liquid.


    The water slowly turned green-colored.


    Then, the young man grabbed another batch of medicinal herbs from the inventory and put them all in the small bowl. He then grabbed the pounder and smashed the herbs.


    Bam, bam, bam!


    After a short while, he put the pounder down on the table and poured the herbs into the already-green liquid.


    After that, the liquid turned darker green, and a strong smell began seeping out.


    The young man quickly picked up the cork and put it on the ss bottle to keep all the fragrance inside.


    ''''Finished¡­'''' The young man said while slowly taking off his mask. While the public knew this young man''s name, his face was an utter mystery.


    His name was Lord Kalzer.


    Ding, ding!


    ''''Hmm?'''' A message appeared in the corner of his eye.


    At first, he didn''t look interested, but he still checked it because one of his team members could have sent an important message.


    After taking a quick glimpse at the sender''s name, his figure froze after his mind slowly read the name of Wraith.


    His nonchnt expression disappeared, and he immediately pressed on the message.


    [Wraith: One vs. One, in Colosseum]


    The looming shadow covered Lord Kalzer''s facial expression. His body didn''t move as he silently stared at the message.


    Then after a minute, he raised his arm and began typing on the holographic keyboard.


    [Lord Kalzer: Ok]


    After that, he closed the interface and turned back to the ss bottle. The dark green liquid was a potion that cured muscle pain.


    While many treat it as a minor inconvenience, for Lord Kalzer, it was a big hindrance. Thus, every day, he would make sure that he made several potions to cure muscle pain.


    Muscle pain usually appeared after someonepletely exhausted their stamina reserves, which might happen quite often in a fight. That was one of the side effects, and many ignored it.


    Pop!


    Lord Kalzer opened the cork with a loud pop and gulped down the potion. All his soreness disappeared.


    Then, he picked up another batch of medicinal herbs from the inventory. Once again, he began making potions with great concentration. His seriousness rose by a notch after receiving the message.


    ¡­


    In Stronglord Colosseum.


    Inside the yer lounge.


    There were several empty couches, while only around fifty yers were present.


    The poprity of the Colosseum decreased a lot after the appearance of other Realms. The top yers rarely visited the ce anymore, but it was still incredibly popr among New-Gen Humans.


    Currently, the yers watched another battle that happened in the Colosseum. It was between the top 1078 and top 998 yer. The fight was intense, but something stillcked something that brought a sense of shock into the spectator''s hearts.


    The rating list showed rows of names. However, the person leading was miles ahead of the second-ranked.  Free?ebn?vel.c?m.


    [1. Darkside - 987 W - 1 L]


    [2. Sinz - 765 W - 12 L]


    Darkside was a daily visitor to Colosseum. From day 1, he tried to receive something incredible from the Wheel of Victory. However, he was incredibly unlucky.


    Ding, ding!


    ''''Hmm?'''' One of the yers nonchntly checked the announcement board. It usually showed all the uing matches, and he thought it was another ordinary match-up.


    ''Wraith¡­ Lord Kalzer¡­'' The yer''s mind stopped for a moment before restarting. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes.


    ''''Have I yed too much? Maybe I should go sleep.'''' The yer pped his cheeks and checked the announcement board onest time.


    The top of the list had a new match-up. Usually, the yers would have their ranks shown, and the name of colors would determine their strength.


    The color Red meant that the yer was a Pro-Level yer, while Gold said that the yer was Top-Level.


    However, the Colosseum rankings determined the name color, and the names on top of the list were dull gray.


    However, everyone knew their names.


    [Wraith Vs. Lord Kalzer - Tomorrow 5.00 PM]


    ''''W-Wait¡­'''' The yer narrowed his eyes, and slowly his face changed colors. His mind shook like a boulder fell on theke, causing enormous waves and ripples.


    ''''Hey, are you alright?'''' His friend shook his shoulder and asked.


    ''''L-Look!'''' The yer pointed at the announcement.


    Because the lounge was rtively quiet, his shout attracted everyone''s attention. They only thought that there was a battle between the top 500 yers. However, after their gazes grazed the announcement board, everyone turned quiet.


    A storm was brewing, and soon, the City of Stronglord, which had grown to be starting ce for newbies, would soon be the vocal point of the world.


    That single announcement found itself on every news station that night. Tomorrow, the whole City will be the center of the world.


    One of the biggest battles in recent history was about to begin.


    ¡­


    Crackle.


    Sizzle!


    ''''¡­'''' An handsome man with long golden hair stood powerfully against the powerful wind. The enormous God Realm stood below his mighty figure.


    From the top of the sky-piercing mountain, he gazed down at the God Realm with a powerful gaze.


    Crackle!


    Then, powerful lightning bolted down from the sky and struck the top of the mountain.


    From there, Thor appeared while wielding his mighty hammer.


    ''''Father!''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Odin turned around and saw his son, Thor.


    ''''Father, I have dire news!'''' Thor held the hammer in a tight grip while speaking with a serious tone.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Odin lowered his head slightly and had a slight hunch what it was about.


    ''''Demons¡­ I have seen them lurking near Saturn.''''


    ''''I see¡­ Soon, they will find us.'''' Odin looked towards the darkening sky, ''''Thor, go, and exterminate them.''''


    ''''Is that a wise move?'''' Thor asked with a frown.


    ''''They are already aware of our system, and it is a matter of time before they find the Moon, and that will be the end of everything. They need to die before it''s toote.''''


    Thor nodded and swung the hammer around powerfully. The lightning engulfed his body, and he bolted back to the sky.


    Crackle¡­


    CRACKLE!

 Chapter 509 Painful Reality

    Chapter 509 Painful Reality


    Scrub, scrub.


    In a dimly lit room, Isaac sat under the light of crystal light. With a rag in hand, he cleaned the silver pistol thoroughly.


    The ck-iid carvings looked powerful and beautiful.


    Isaac moved the silver pistol towards the crystal light and nodded with satisfaction.


    ''That was unnecessary, but thanks." The silver pistol said.


    Isaac shrugged his shoulders and put the silver pistol down at the table, "I feel morefortable using you if I think you are well-maintained."


    ''Nothing can even make a scratch on me.''


    "It''s more psychology thing."


    ''Humans¡­''


    Isaac then grabbed the Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle and removed the silvery de. He then grabbed the rag and cleaned the gun thoroughly.


    After doing that, he cleaned the silvery de after de-attaching it from the gun. Once done with that, he didn''t put it back.


    He lowered it down on the table and ced the Mosin-Nagant back in the inventory.


    ''What are you going to do with that?'' The silver pistol asked.


    "I have other uses for it." Isaac grabbed the silvery de and surprisingly grabbed it tight!


    His palm began bleeding, staining the de on his wet blood.


    ''What are you doing?''


    "Watch." Isaac smiled and closed his eyes. The silvery de slowly started glowing, and its shape began changing.


    From an ordinary de, it turned into a curved dagger in beautiful silver color. The hilt had carvings of three-fanged dragons.


    Isaac grabbed a dagger sheath from the inventory and slipped the digger into it. Then, he strapped it around his hip and nodded with satisfaction.


    ''Why a dagger?''


    "To use the de in the gun has been incredibly insufficient, and I always felt like I could use it better.


    "While the person who gave me the de treated it as some kind of decoration, but for me, it''s incredibly valuable.


    "It''s, after all, made by Hephaestus, the cksmithing God, and using it as mere side-decoration would be disgrace.


    "Thus, I n to use it properly as a hidden weapon."


    ''I see, but perhaps you should hide it then?''


    "Hmm, really?" Isaac unstrapped the sheath and looked at the silver pistol with wide arms, asking what now.


    ''Hide it inside your clothes, somewhere you can take easily.''


    "Hmm¡­" Isaac zipped open the jacket, revealing his shirt. He rubbed his chin and found a good ce.


    He moved his hands behind his back and slipped the sheath into his back pocket. Luckily, his back pocket was quite deep, enough to fit the dagger.


    Then, he stood up and went to the bathroom. In there, he turned his back towards the mirror, which inverted his movements.


    He turned his head around and looked over his shoulder at the mirror. There was a slight bulge in his left pocket. However, the pocket hid the dagger.


    "This will do." He zipped the jacket and left the bathroom.


    ''Are you doing this because of your iing fight?''


    "Yes, it''s difficult to win without some tricks¡­"


    ''Who is this Lord Kalzer? I have heard you talking about him, but isn''t he just another human?''


    "You have a low opinion of humans, don''t you?" Isaac sat on the bed while tying his shoces.


    ''Well¡­ They haven''t been very impressive.''


    "Because the top quality humans are hiding in shadows." Isaac finished tying his shoeces and continued, "Most of them don''t interact with yers. After all, most of them are also Chain Breakers or Legacy Masters, as you call them."


    ''I see, so they don''t want to be known.''


    "That''s right." Isaac nodded, "Most of them don''t care about fame or money because they are from a wealthy family."


    ''Hmm¡­ I wonder, will they ever appear in public?''


    "They will, sooner orter."


    ¡­


    "Urgh¡­" Underlord groggily opened his eyes and felt a strange sensation on his back. It felt like he was swimming with clothes on.


    He moved his head around, and his hair was wet alongside his clothes.


    He was lying on a darkke with shallow depth.


    "Where am I?" Underlord shakily stood up and looked around. An endless wastnd surrounded the darkke.


    "Lord Erebus, hello?" He spoke aloud.


    "Here."


    "?!" Underlord whipped around and saw an elderly figure with a droopy gaze. The flowing water didn''t touch even the hem of his clothes, instead drifted around him.


    "Lord Erebus!" Underlord knelt on the darkke, not caring about getting wet.


    Erebus rapped his finger against his walking stick and said, "To master the power of reality, you must know what reality is."


    "Reality is?" Underlord frowned and thought that he had a pretty vivid image of it.


    Erebus immediately understood what he was thinking. His long lips curved upwards into a mocking smile.


    "Reality is pain and suffering!"


    "Eh?" Underlord''s eyes shook, and suddenly the dark sky raged with enormous lightnings.


    A sh of nightmarish dark lightning descended from the sky and struck Underlord in his head!


    "ARGFHGHGHGH!" Underlord''s crazed scream echoed throughout the dark realm. His hair slowly charred while most of his face melted away.


    After a minute, the lightning disappeared and revealed a burnt Underlord. However, the wounds healed almost immediately.


    "A-Agh¡­" Underlord fell on theke with horror shing across his face, "T-That hurt¡­ that pain was so vivid¡­ Why? All my pain mechanism is zero¡­ why did it hurt so much?"


    "That is the power of reality." Erebus looked down at him with disdain, "You and yers have indeed the useful ability of not feeling pain. However, my power can easily remove the miraculous ability."


    "Y-Y-You are saying¡­" Underlord gulped.


    Erebus'' smile grewrger, "Yes¡­ I can even kill you if I want to."


    Underlord''s mood dropped to an all-time low. He realized that he had made a severe error of picking up Erebus''s dark book. If he had to suffer from the lightning even one more time, he wished he would be dead!


    "Don''t have suicidal thoughts yet." Erebus grinned viciously, "We have only started. After I am done with you, you will be a nightmare for the yers.


    "I-I don''t want to¡­" Underlord tried to log out. However, despair covered every part of his mind after seeing that the log-out button wasn''t avable.


    "Hahahaha!" Erebus snapped his finger, and another nightmarish dark lightning descended down from the heavens.


    "NOOO!" Underlord screamed in horror, and the lightning soon engulfed him wholly, "ARGHHHHHHHHH!"

 Chapter 510 Silvercloud

    Chapter 510 Silvercloud


    "The world is in shock after the sudden announcement of the fight between¡­"


    The TV screen sted news while the shes of light engulfed the dimly lit living room of Whitelock Mansion.


    As the news anchor''s pleasant voice reached his ears, Isaac opened an envelope and checked the letter he had received moments ago.


    His eyebrow jumped as he saw what the letter held. It was empty.


    There were locations where the letter got sent, and its designated destination was Whitelock Mansion.


    The location from where it got sent made Isaac''s eyes tremble. Then, he saw the text written at the bottom of the letter.


    [- Arthur Welhenheim]


    "Strange¡­" Isaac frowned and rubbed his chin. He turned the letter around and saw nothing but a nk piece of paper.


    He then folded the letter and pocketed it.


    "Very strange¡­" Isaac stood up and grabbed the tv remoter. He turned down the volume to mute.


    Then, he left the mansion while dressed in heavy winter clothing. The mansion''s lights brightened the front yard, and bodyguards walked under the windows, checking the perimeter with utter concentration.


    After seeing Isaac appear, they bowed and nodded. Then, they resumed their duties.


    The bodyguards felt slightly embarrassed that they were worthless in some sense. With Isaac there, they wouldn''t be any help if a Rogue Chain Breaker attacked. Thus, many of them entered White Online to start their hunt for Legacies.


    Isaac left through the gates, walked out of the neighborhood, and stepped into the snowy forest. His feet left a trail of footsteps behind as he pushed through the soft snow.


    After a while, he saw the boulder with his initials engraved. He found a fallen wooden trunk and sat on it.


    Then, he extended his hand towards the empty air and grabbed something from there. The beautiful silver pistol appeared in his right hand.


    ''Where are we?'' The silver pistol asked as he looked up to the starry sky.


    "The ce where I am from," Isaac said and pointed the gun towards the boulder. Then, he yanked it slightly up, acting like he had fired the gun, and the recoil made the gun snap up.


    ''I see. It''s peaceful.'' The silver pistol said with a strange tone; his voice fluctuated slightly. Rarely did he see ces as peaceful as this, and it made him want to protect this peace.


    ''But, why did you take me here?''


    Isaac stood up and went to the boulder. He dug a hole in the snow and showed a silvery pole he buried there.


    It was the weapon called Silvernium. The dreams haunted Isaac monthly; it was all about his future self and Silvernium.


    Thus, he took the Silvernium and hid it here.


    He thought the dreams would end, but they never did.


    His father was confused about where it was but never voiced his concerns to anyone. After all, the existence of Silvernium was secret.


    The silver pistol looked towards the buried weapon, and a shocked scream echoed deep in Isaac''s mind.


    ''AAAAHH!''


    "Ah, what the fuck?" Isaac held his painful ears after the loud shout assaulted his mind.


    ''H-H-H-How?!''


    The Silvernium trembled and suddenly transformed into a simr-looking weapon. It was also in the color of silver but with engravings of phoenixes.


    "Big Brother?!" The Silvernium shockingly spoke without a mouth!?


    "Big Brother?! And you can speak?!" Isaac identally dropped the silver pistol and had to take a sit before stumbling down by shock.


    The silver pistol slowly floated away from the snow and turned towards Silvernium, "Little Brother!"


    "Silvercloud!" The Silvernium cried in excitement.


    "Silvernium, where have you been?!" Silvercloud, aka the silver pistol, also spoke without restraint. And, this time, he didn''t talk inside the mind but like regr humans.


    "Wait, you can speak, and what the hell are those names?!"


    "Yes, I can speak." Silvercloud turned around to face Isaac, "However, I only speak inside your mind when there is a threat of someone listening."


    "There isn''t threat now?" Isaac asked.


    "No, because my little brother is here."


    "Hehe." Silvernium proudly chuckled and said, "My name is Silvernium, and it''s a noble name!"


    "That''s right, my name, Silvercloud, is also one of the noblest names in the universe." Silver said while appearing back on Isaac''s right hand.


    "Anyway, Isaac, how did you find my brother?" Silvercloud asked while looking at his little brother, Silvernium, who floated above the boulder.


    "My future self gave it to me," Isaac said nonchntly.


    "I see, future self¡­ WAIT, WHAT?!"


    Silvernium, in his gun form, vibrated, "I thought he looked familiar but younger¡­ To think that he was his younger self¡­"


    "Exin," Silvercloud looked at Isaac with a serious look.


    Isaac shook his head, "I can''t really remember¡­ There are fragments of memory, something about my future self talking with me in a dream. There was also Silvernium in the discussions."


    "Someone¡­ managed to do that¡­" Silvercloud voiced out his amazement and looked at Isaac in a new light, "If his future self can be such a beast, what about him who got help from his already strong future self? Also, Silvernium and I will multiply his strength¡­


    "I bought his future self thought that I would be here. After all, I am not exactly from this timeline either¡­"


    Silvercloud then looked at Isaac and said with a serious tone, "Isaac, my little brother, will be a great asset to you. You need to learn to use him."


    "Why?" Isaac frowned.


    "Because my little brother has the ability to travel across dimensions!"


    "Wait, what?!" Isaac''s eyes turned saucers.


    "Hehe." Silvernium floated towards them and said, "With me, you could have ess to every dimension in existence. I am known as Silvernium, The Cracker of Dimensions!"


    "How?" Isaac asked while the Silvernium appeared on his left hand. Both guns were perfectly in his hands, like someone specially made them for him.


    "Should we try?" Silvercloud asked.


    Isaac looked at Silvernium and felt his palms getting sweaty, "S-Sure¡­"


    "Just pull the trigger, and magic happens," Silvernium said and turned silent.


    Isaac pointed Silvernium towards the empty air and heaved a breath. Then, he pulled the heavy trigger.


    CRACK!

 Chapter 511 Cracker of Dimensions

    Chapter 511 Cracker of Dimensions


    The air cracked like ss, and suddenly a whirling portal appeared. Isaac couldn''t even see the bullet and only saw the crack in the air forming, like spider-wed cracks appearing in a broken window.


    ''''Wow, w-wait!'''' Isaac, at first, was amazed, but then the whirling portal started sucking him inside!


    He couldn''t resist the power of the whirling portal and got sucked inside with onest cry.


    ¡­


    ''''Ouch!'''' Isaac crashed on a somewhat soft-looking cloud, but it was hard, and he saw the strands of his hair starting to float. Even the blood was rushing towards his head.


    ''''Where the hell am I?'''' He asked while looking around the strange void of space. He stood on top of a solid cloud while a transparentnd surrounded it.


    ''''Look up,'''' Silvercloud said.


    Isaac looked up and widened his eyes in horror. Around 10 km away, there was a massivend that looked quite mystifying.


    However, when he checked it closely, the massivend looked like Four Seasons. Which meant Isaac was standing in the sky while the massivend took the sky''s ce!


    ''''This is Upside Dimension,'''' Silvernium said.


    ''''C-Can I leave?'''' Isaac asked with trembling lips. This scene was like his worst nightmare.


    ''''You need to get used to the weird atmosphere of some Dimensions. Like now, the blood is rushing to your head, and you will lose consciousness soon.'''' Silvercloud casually mentioned it, even though it sounded scary.


    ''''Fuck!'''' Isaac holstered the two weapons and ced his hands on the ground. Then, he removed his feet from the hard ground and performed a two-hand stand.


    ''''That won''t be the solution,'''' Silvernium said with a slightly amused tone.


    ''''Yes, it is!'''' Isaac cried out while staying motionless.


    ''''Just lose your conscious a few times, and I am sure you will get used to it.''''


    ''''Nah, can''t I just leave?'''' Isaac asked with a slightly frustrated tone.


    ''''Fine, where?'''' Silvernium asked.


    ''''Hmm¡­'''' Isaac calmly pondered while holding the hard two-hand stand.


    Then, he asked, ''''Can I appear anywhere I want?''''


    ''''Well, there are some exceptions. But, anywhere you want in Four Seasons, yes.''''


    ''''Alright¡­'''' Isaac removed his left hand from the cloud and showed a spectacr one-hand stand. Then, he clumsily grabbed Silvernium from the holster and fired at the cloud.


    Crack!


    Immediately, the air before the cloud cracked, and the whirling portal appeared. Isaac immediately got sucked inside.


    ¡­


    ''''Whew¡­'''' This time, Isaded on his two feet after exiting the crack in the air.


    ''''Where are we?'''' Silvercloud asked.


    ''''White Paradise¡­'''' Isaac muttered while looking at the beautiful scenery. However, the City was in ruins, with most buildings broken down and charred. The fire had peeled off the painting from most of the buildings.


    ''''Why are we here?'''' Silvernium asked.


    ''''I need to find out something¡­'''' Isaac pulled out the letter and checked the location where it got sent from.


    [From: Legacy Company - White Paradise]


    ''''Apparently, this ce has grave radiation that can kill a person in minutes just by breathing the air.''''


    ''''Hmm, shouldn''t we leave then?''''


    ''''No¡­ If my hunch is correct, I must enter this ce.'''' Isaac pocketed the letter and stepped inside White Paradise''s street.


    He looked around at the crumbled buildings with nightmarish interiors. There were still bags of groceries and clothes littering the streets. It seemed like the people had left this ce in a hurry.


    Isaac stopped and picked up the burnt teddy bear. Half of the face was charred, and the other half looked old and ragged.


    ''''Hey, look at that.'''' Silvercloud trembled and moved its barrel towards the right.


    Isaac turned to the right and saw an ordinary alley. However, the walls looked to have cut marks, looking to be from a sword.


    ''''Sword marks?'''' Isaac frowned and sniffed the air.


    The air was slightly stuffy, but he couldn''t smell anything dangerous. Apparently, the whole White Paradise smelled like rotting corpses and smoke.


    However, that news seemed to be fake.


    Isaac continued walking and went past several simr-looking streets until he finally arrived in the near vicinity of Legacy Company.


    The tall Legacy Company headquarters spanned toward the sky, looking majestic. However, with fliers littering the ground, hundreds of windows broken, and chilly darkness engulfing the indoors, it looked like a ce of nightmares.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    Isaac''s footsteps echoed in the empty streets until he reached the front steps of Legacy Company. He entered through the slightly ajar doors and saw the dirty front lounge.


    There were broken elevators with missing doors.


    ''''Hmm.'''' Isaac sniffed the air one more time and stiffened after smelling the heavy scent of blood!


    ''''Hey, excuse me!''''


    Isaac flinched and spun around. Several men wearing hazard suits holding guns appeared from the front door.


    ''''This ce is off-limits!'''' A horse-faced middle-aged man said while having his finger near the trigger, ''''This ce has level-five radiation danger!''''


    Isaac fixed his cor and said, ''''Oh, but I feel fine.''''


    ''''The radiation poisoning appears after an hour of exposure!'''' The horse-faced man shouted, his finger nearing the trigger.


    ''''Oh, but I have been exposed for more than two hours.'''' Isaac calmly said while his eyes slightly curved into an innocent-looking face.


    ''Why are you lying?'' Silvercloud asked.


    ''You will see.'' Isaac said while touching the holster.


    The horse-faced man exchanged nces with other men and nodded. They all immediately pulled the triggers and showered the ce with bullets!


    Ratatatatatatata!


    Isaac pulled out the silver pistol and pulled the trigger while jumping out of the bullets.


    Bang!


    The bullet struck the first man in the kneecap and shattered it immediately!


    ''''ARGH!'''' The man fell down with a bleeding knee. He held it painfully and quickly performed an emergency aid.


    ''''Oh, they aren''t amateurs,'''' Isaac said while weaving through the bullets with ease.


    The horse-faced man gulped, ''''He is Chain Breaker. Call the others!''''


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' One of the men turned around and ran towards the exit.


    Isaac aimed the gun towards the ceiling and fired.


    Bang!


    The bullet struck the ceiling and made it copse. The entrance to the building got covered in heavy debris, locking everyone inside.


    ''''Nope.'''' Isaac aimed at the pale horse-faced man and grinned, ''''Bang.''''


    Bang!

 Chapter 512 Caveman Legacy

    Chapter 512 Caveman Legacy


    The horse-faced man watched as the man with white hair evaded all of the bullets. A feeling of dread began to spread throughout his entire existence as it began to emerge from the recesses of his thoughts.


    "Those moves are exactly like his...," said the man. He took a few dry swallows before he grasped the threat posed by the man with white hair and then shouted, "He is Chain Breaker! Call the others!"


    One of his soldiers started sprinting in the direction of the door. However, the horse-faced man quickly realized that he had made a mistake.


    The man with white hair spun around and shot a bullet upwards toward the ceiling. Instantly, the ceiling, which got damaged some time ago, fell away, whichpletely blocked the exit.


    ''No!'' The man with the horse face screamed to himself in his head, I should have left by myself silently and gotten reinforcements. Why did I yell?! Did I lose my cool?!''


    When he turned around and saw a pair of silver eyes staring at him, he immediately felt a chill that raced all the way down his back.


    "Bang¡­" After making his statement, the white-haired man pressed the trigger on the gun.


    Bang!


    The bullet traveled through the air, leaving a cloud of smoke in its wake. In a matter of seconds, it arrived in front of the man with the horse''s face.


    ''I am dead¡­'' As the man with the horse face closed his eyes, he likely entered hisst state of consciousness, during which he gave one final thought to the choices he had made throughout his life.


    Whoosh!


    Out of nowhere, a person dressed in white materialized out of thin air as if he got expelled from a hidden dimension. This event urred seemingly out of the blue. His transparent eyes spotted the approaching bullet, and he shifted his weight to the right side of his body to stop it.


    Bam!


    The person dressed in white kicked the bullet away and then gently fell to the ground below him. His long, banging ck hair moved slowly in the breeze, and so did the hem of his clothing trailing behind him.


    "Kiryu!" The man with the horse''s face''s eyes bulged wide open as he let out a shrill cry of excitement.


    Kiryu shifted his sleeves with a flick of his wrist and strode across the room with swift, rapid steps. Aftering to a stop when he was barely one meter away from Isaac, he delivered a tremendous front kick to Isaac.


    Thwack!


    Isaac used his elbow to deflect the strike and then immediately twisted Silvercloud around and squeezed the trigger!


    Bang!


    The bullet exited the barrel and flew through the air with a whooshing sound.


    Kiryu tilted his head to the side, which caused the rough shell of the barrel to brush across his nose as it traveled over his face.


    Isaac drew back his hand, clenched it, and punched!


    Kiryu seized the opportunity and grabbed the fist, rapidly turning it so that Isaac was facing him sideways. After that, he delivered a blow to Isaac''s neck with his elbow, which was a sessful blow.


    "Gh¡­" Isaac made a muffled grunting sound, and at the same time, a glimmer of crimson light shed across his silvery eyes.


    "Hah!" Isaac was thrown across the room as Kiryu grabbed him by the cor and flung him.


    Before touching the ground, Isaac did many rotations in the air while in mid-flight. Almost instantaneously, he whirled around and began sting Silvercloud without pausing for a moment.


    Bang, bang, bang, bang!


    "Hollow Point!" Kiryu defended himself by mming his palms against the oing bullets and deflecting them away from him.


    As soon as the bullets made contact with his palms, their courses miraculously altered, and they went on to entirely miss his body.


    ''What the hell?'' Isaac put his gun down and looked disgruntled.


    ''He warped space...'' Silvernium said inside Isaac''s head.


    ''How?'' Isaac poked around inside his own head despite the fact that he had a sneaking suspicion.


    It was evident that Kiryu was the Chain Breaker, and he was also a powerful one. His Legacy was a Special Legacy, despite the fact that it was not very well recognized. His Legacy Holder was a person who lived in ancient periods, during which he asionally interacted with cavemen and did not have ess to the fire.


    That individual was victorious in his battle against Sabertooth tigers. He engaged inbat with other cavemen thousands of times and was always victorious. At about this time, the cavemen started looking up to him as a more important existence.


    It''s possible that the things he did were supernatural in nature. Since he had no ess to any future technology, if he had lived during this era, he would be regarded as the most talented practitioner of martial arts in the history of the world.


    When he was at his physical limit, his kicks had the ability to warp space, but only just barely.


    Isaac positioned himself and pulled the trigger after aiming.


    Bang!


    Kiryu made a cross with his arms and then used his arms as swords as he shed down.


    Whoosh!


    His arms generated a powerful wind breeze, which resulted in a reduction in the bullet''s rate of travel. Its uracy plummeted to an all-time low, and it failed to hit the target once more.


    Bam!


    It looked like a bullet had hit the wall behind him.


    Kiryu repositioned his right arm so that his fist was pointing at the ceiling''s cracks. After then, he moved his left arm so that it came into contact with the forearm of his right arm. It looked like he was making a cross with his arms.


    "Caveman''s Faith." Kiryu gripped both of his fists tightly, and as he did so, his muscles puffed out. The cross appeared to have abruptly grown in size.


    Isaac lifted his right arm, which was holding Silvercloud in his hand. After that, he turned around and saw that all of the men in hazard suits were standing in silence and observing, but they had no intention of stopping him.


    "The Purity of the Caveman!" Kiryu mmed his foot down hard on the ground and surged forward after making the sound. As his muscles got evenrger, his figure began to soar through the air. After he had appeared above Isaac, he reached down and grabbed both of his fists before delivering a hammer blow.


    ''''HAAAAAAAA!''''


    Isaac brought his right arm up, and Kiryu, who was above him and about tounch his next assault, was visible in the sky.


    There was no sign of fear on Kiryu''s face as he stared dead ahead at the barrel of the silver pistol.


    Bang!


    Isaac pressed the trigger on the gun.


    The bullet exited the barrel and flew in the direction of Kiryu''s hands as it continued its journey.


    The tightly sped hands of Kiryu struck the bullet, and the spacetime continuum bent once more. The bullet gradually veered off of its intended path and went on to miss his body entirely.


    "Hahaha!" When Kiryu saw that there was no longer any way for Isaac to avoid getting hit, he let out a heartyugh. He mmed his hands together, getting ready to beat Isaac until he was unconscious.


    Isaac''s right arm, which had been holding Silvercloud, was suddenly lowered. To spectators, it appeared like he''d given up.


    However, at that moment, his eyes shed a brilliant scarlet light, and a dangerously hot beam shot out of the corners of his eyes!


    "Eh?!" Kiryu ceased his strikes, and with wide-open eyes and an audible "AHHH!" he expressed his shock.


    He took a direct hit to the chest from the red beam.


    In his haste, Kiryu crushed his palms against the red beam and attempted to slightly distort the gap between them. Luckily, he could steer the red beam away from its intended path.


    The red beam altered its course, collided with the ceiling, and continued on its original path through the room.


    "Ugh¡­" After crashing to the ground, Kiryuy down on the ground with a burned chest. The pain had a distorting effect on his pale face.


    "Kiryu!" The man with the horse''s face screamed out in terror, and his face turned white.


    Isaac took a careful aim at the man with the horse face, and the tension in the room increased almost instantly. As he was going through the motions of firing the trigger, there was a huge boom that came from the entrance.


    BOOM!


    The rubble covering the entrance suddenly exploded!

 Chapter 513 The Gathering of Legends

    Chapter 513 The Gathering of Legends


    Tap, tap, tap.


    The front lounge was a mess due to all of the broken pieces of debris.


    The soldiers dressed in hazard suits nced toward the entrance with anticipation and optimism because they believed their reinforcements had finallye.


    Isaac furrowed his brow and felt that the weight on his shoulders was getting steadily worse.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    A solitary man walked through the damaged door and entered the front lounge of the building while brushing the dirt off of his big shoulders. Because of that one action, there was an unexinable weight in the air, as if they were standing in front of someone they shouldn''t mess with.


    He had blond hair cut short, and his facial characteristics were prominent. His physique was that of a lean, athletic build, and whenbined with his trim mustache, he gave off the impression of being an upstanding gentleman.


    However, he was wearing a ck tracksuit and sneakers, which somewhat detracted from his otherwise good appearance.


    "Hmmm, he seems to be familiar..." The man with the horse face mumbled something.


    "Ugh¡­" Kiryu rose up while still smoldering from his charred chest wound. He got into hisbat stance, which was unsteady.


    Isaac furrowed his brow and aimed the Silvernium at the individual with blond hair. The Silvercloud aimed in the direction of the man with the horse face.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    Impatiently waiting for something, the man with blond hair tapped his feet restlessly against the ground.


    Then, they could hear the second set of footstepsing from the outside, and a man with white hair followed closely after the other man with blonde hair while he sighed quietly.


    The man with blond hair turned a sideways nce in the direction of the man with gray hair.


    The man with gray hair appeared to be a little bit exhausted. He wore a button-down shirt with long sleeves and a dark navy blue tint. The cor was tidy, and there were beginnings of a beard growing on his chin. His gray eyes didn''t seem to have any appeal.


    "Who the hell are you all?!" The man with the horse''s face yelled in a menacing tone, "Are you with him?!"


    He wavered his index finger and pointed it in Isaac''s direction.


    ''So, they are not with them,'' Isaac muttered something to himself inside his head.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    Another figure materialized from the outside, and this time it was a strikingly good-looking man with raven hair and almond-shaped blue eyes.


    His eyes welled up with amazement when he finally took in the scene inside the front lounge.


    His stunning blue eyes seemed to reflect an image of Isaac, who was standing there with his pistol pointed in their direction.


    "Wraith?!" He spoke loudly in amazement.


    "Wraith?" A look of surprise appeared on the face of the man with blond hair as he looked at Isaac. He could not contain his astonishment as he caressed his light beard.


    The gray-haired man slowly opened his fatigued eyes and foggily saw Isaac''s tall figure.


    "Who are you?" Isaac looked across at the three of them and made a frowning face. He had the distinct impression that he had encountered that voice in the past, but he could not recognize it.


    The individual with the raven hair kept his lips slightly sealed because there were still people dressed in hazard suits present.


    "Hahahaha!" Everyone''s attention got drawn to the balcony on the second level, where a very good-looking man with blond hair had suddenly materialized.


    "Arthur!" The man with the horse''s face yelled out in surprise.


    Kiryu instantly assumed his position and cast a venomous stare in Arthur''s direction.


    Arthur reached into the front pocket of his jacket, drew out a cigarette, and lit it. Then, while looking down at the men dressed in hazmat suits, he let out a plume of smoke.


    "Can you leave? I am going to have a meeting with these four interesting individuals." He asked in a respectful manner, but the horse-faced man''s heart skipped a beat at the sound of his voice.


    The man with the horse face retreated a few paces, but as he did so, thoughts of his superiors began to emerge into his consciousness. They took great precautions to ensure that everyone he knew would be put to death if he ever made a single retreat.


    He clenched his teeth and yelled, "Kill him!"


    "Kill?" The man with the raven hair appeared to be taken aback. He couldn''t help but wonder what the devil was going on.


    The soldiers dressed in protective gear had their rifles focused on Arthur, and they were about to pull the trigger on their weapons.


    However, at that point, the man with blond hair lunged with incredible speed and grabbed all of the guns. He came to a stop next to the elevators and threw the guns down the elevator shaft.


    "W-What?!" The man with the horse face yelled out in utter disbelief, "C-Chain Breaker?! "


    "Sigh¡­" The man with blond hair ran his hand through his hair in a smooth and deliberate manner.


    [Name: King Xerxus]


    [Legacy: Mercury, God of Speed]


    [Legacy Rank: Godly]


    "Damn!" Kiryu drew back his fist and then sprinted in the direction of King Xerxus.


    However, Isaac quickly adjusted his aim and fired the trigger after making the adjustment.


    Bang!


    Kiryu''s leg got pierced by the bullet, which caused him to fall to the ground on his head.


    Bam!


    "Ugh¡­" Kiryu gradually lost consciousness as his eyes began to roll in the opposite direction.


    King Xerxus cast a sidelong nce in Isaac''s direction and arched an eyebrow.


    "Do something!" The man with the horse''s face yelled at his subordinates, who were stunned and unsure what they were supposed to do in response.


    "Nah, go sleep." The man with gray hair approached them while producing long whips of a crimson color from his fingers. He then used the whips to bind the men in the hazard suits in a secure manner.


    The men dressed in protective gear could feel the red whips firmly digging into their flesh, making it impossible for them to even move because doing so would have resulted in an excruciating amount of pain.


    The man with gray hair shrugged his shoulders and continued walking past the men who were confined. He gazed unruffled towards Arthur, who mirrored his own state ofposure and ease.


    [Name: Lord Amour]


    [Legacy: Ares, God of War]


    [Legacy Rank: Godly]


    "AAHHH!" The man with the horse''s face sobbed and screamed at the same time. He remained encircled by the crimson rope, which caused his flesh to get somewhat scorched.


    The door to the front lounge was finally opened by the veryst individual. The man with raven hair walked around the front lounge with a perplexed expression on his face. He had a feeling of lightheadedness, and his throat was slightly dry.


    [Name: Lord Kalzer]


    [Legacy: Odin, the Allfather]


    [Legacy Rank: Godly]


    "It would appear that you four have understood what I was trying to convey. Wraith, Xerxus, Amour, and Kalzer," Arthur said with a smile of pleased surprise on his face.


    "Kalzer?" Isaac stared at the man with the raven hair in utter bewilderment. It was the first time he had seen the man''s face.


    Before returning his attention to Arthur, Kalzer cast a quick sideways nce in the direction of Isaac.


    "What were you thinking when you invited us all here?" Xerxus questioned as he observed the formerly dark sky gradually bing brighter. They got the letter the night before, and due to the distance between White Paradise and where they were, everyone had to arrive here using a separate mode of transportation.


    They had the impression that the nk letter wasn''t an ident, and they had a bad sense in their hearts that if they waited for even one night longer, something that they woulde to deeply regret would ur.


    Therefore, in order to reach this location, Xerxus had to journey all the way here from his hometown, which took him across multiple continents. Despite his superspeed, it took him a number of hours toplete the task.


    Both Lord Amour and Lord Kalzer used teleportation pearls.


    "Well, to provide a response to that question... It is imperative that we relocate to a secure location." Arthur red at the man with the horse''s head and scowled as he did so. Because he wanted the invitation to the four guys to remainpletely covert, he snapped his fingers, and immediately, air des materialized behind him and shed through the air.


    The air des swiftly terminated the lives of the individuals who were wearing hazmat suits by cutting through their throats.


    The four men''s eyes widened in shock.


    "I''m sorry, but I had no choice but to do it. I will exin the reasonter, but for the time being, just follow me." After turning around, Arthur started walking up to the top floor.

 Chapter 514 High Society

    Chapter 514 High Society


    Creak!


    Arthur pushed open the two ss doors and entered the room. The view then shifted to reveal the room filled with thousands of monitors. They had a few cracks here and there and were dirty.


    After ascending the few steps of the set of stairs, the four men entered the room.


    Arthur drew a chair from below the table and sat down on it with his front facing the other four men. He did so while maintaining a jaded expression on his face.


    "You four must have several questions." He inquired with twitch of his finger.


    The four men stood silent as they waited for Arthur to borate on the purpose of the invitation.


    Arthur leaned in close to them and spoke in a low, deliberate tone, "First and foremost, you four are children of High Society. The majority of you have parents who are well-off and influential in their fields.''''


    He turned towards Isaac and said.


    "Wraith, whose real name is Isaac Whitelock, is the son of Maxwell and Isabe Whitelock. His father is the Chairman of the Board at Whitelock Company, which is Snowstar''s primary provider of architectural supplies.


    "His mother is a world-famous fashion designer, most well-known for her winter clothing, which are avable in every city in Wintend. Even I have a few of her creations in my wardrobe.


    Isaac was standing there inplete silence, not even blinking while Amour, Xerxus, and Kalzer cast their eyes in his direction.


    Then Arthur turned his attention to Amour and said, "The only son of the Grayhound family, Amour Grayhound. Amour is the only child in his family. His father is the Chairman of Pharmaceutical Company, and he holds a monopoly on the market in Autumnd."


    After that, he shifted his attention to Xerxus, saying, "Xerxus Kinful, the second son of the Kinful family, the family of athletics. His parents are both world-famous athletes who have won multiple world championships. He inherited their athletic prowess.


    "His brothers and sisters are both well-known prodigies who are well on their way to bing champions in their respective fields. Then there is Xerxus, who is known as the family''s "ck sheep," but not due to ack of ability on his part. No, no.


    "He has more talent than everyone else in his familybined, but hecks the ambition to use it. Then one day, White Online came along, and that was the spark that started his passion."


    Xerxus disyed a nonchnt arm position.


    Then, in conclusion, Arthur gave Kalzer a wry grin as he looked at him and then said, "Kalzer, hated by his father and siblings."


    After the brief moment of difort that followed, Kalzer''s eyes returned to their normal state.


    "Since I selected him to be an Alpha Tester, I have always had the impression that he will be just another yer who won''t amount to anything. After all, there were hundreds of Alpha Testers, and they came from families that belonged to High Society.


    "And of those, only ten were selected to serve as Lords, and ten were selected to serve as Ladies. I have kept track of every yer''s ranking since the beginning of the Alpha Test, and Kalzer was at the bottom for the first two months.


    "Then, Kalzer''s unique talent began to blossom due to a change in circumstances. The talent of hard work.


    "Because of his talent, he rose in rank gradually until he barely reached the top 10 before the Alpha Testing was over.


    "After that, he waited for seven to eight years until the servers became avable. And when they did, Kalzer wasn''t the same kid as before; his talent had developed to an entirely new level in the meantime. Because he wanted to show his father that he wasn''t a failure, he was always the highest-leveled yer in public from the very beginning.


    While clenching his teeth, Kalzer scratched himself on the arm. A few pieces of memories from when he was younger came to the surface in his mind. His father wentpletely insane after learning that his son had the lowest rank of any yer in the Alpha Testing round.


    Since that time, his once kind father has be a monstrous figure instead. After that, there was no other option for Kalzer other than to push himself beyond his limits. Every day, he went well beyond his limits, and his mind was constantly on the verge of exploding as a result.


    If he were to disappoint his father even one more time, his wrath would likely be taken out on his siblings and his mother.


    Arthur radiated a grin as he encircled the group with his arms and dered, "That''s who you four are. The four individuals who I have selected to serve as the future generals of humanity."


    ''Generals?'' Xerxus sported a frown.


    "..." Amour stood with his eyebrow raised.


    Isaac''s brows furrowed in concentration.


    Arthur lowered his arms and began speaking, "Now, the reason why I invited you four here is because I want to ask you something. The reason for this meeting is because members of High Society have made it their mission to eliminate me.


    ''''Since the announcement, those individuals dressed in protective gear have been working for them, and ever since then, they have been making an effort to eliminate me.''''


    "!!" Xerxus, Amour, Kalzer, and Isaac all had shocked expressions on their faces.


    "Are you implying that our parents are making an attempt to take your life?" Amour asked in a furious tone. He did not have the slightest amount of trust. It was inconceivable that his kind father, who has raised him single-handedly ever since the death of his mother, would act in such a way.


    Xerxus clenched his fist and cast a murderous re in Arthur''s direction.


    Isaac furrowed his brow and could feel a stirring of rage rising up inside of him.


    He was well aware that his father, Maxwell, held Arthur in high regard and would never act in such a way.


    Kalzer maintained his silence and ruminated on his memories of his father. It didn''t strike him as odd at all that his father would act in such a heinous manner, in his opinion.


    "No. I didn''t mean like that," Arthur said as he waved his hand around in an attempt to calm them down.


    Impatiently, the four men listened to the following words.


    "In point of fact, there are very few families that arepletely oblivious of my current danger, such as your families," He said.


    The expression on Kalzer''s face conveyed surprise as he asked, "S-So, are you saying that my father didn''t send anyone after your life?"


    "Yes, he didn''t," Arthur stated calmly, oblivious to the fact that his words caused Kalzer''s heart to race in response to a certain degree of surprise.


    ''''Why did you decide to go with us four? Because of our families?" Xerxus scowled and resented the fact that he was always referred to as Kinful''s son. After gaining a greater understanding of the world, he became determined to seed on his own without the assistance of his family.


    "No, no." Arthur burst outughing heartily and then said, "It''s quite the opposite, actually. You four have arrived where you are today without the assistance of anyone else. Because of this, I think that the four of you might just be the best wildcard that humanity has!"


    "What is it that you want from us?" Amour asked.


    Arthur sat back in the chair and rubbed his shoulders as he said, "I am getting tired... I have struggled ceaselessly for an entire year. My adversaries have be too powerful, and as a result, I have not been able to rx. The severity of my wounds has worsened, and it''s possible that I won''t make it through another month."


    ''''Why didn''t you call the police, or anyone else for that matter, toe to your aid?" The question was posed by Kalzer, who stated, "You should have that kind of power up your sleeve."


    "No, my self-proimed friends and allies are merely pawns in the game yed by High Society. It was my own fault that I put more faith in the gods and ignored the advice of my friends and family. They are powerless to assist me in any way, and even the gods have no influence over the situation."


    "So, you want us to help you? You want us to risk our lives for you?" Xerxus asked with his arms crossed and a serious expression on his face.


    Arthur gave him aposed look before responding with a somber smile and the word "Yes."

 Chapter 515 The Humanitys wildcards

    Chapter 515 The Humanity''s wildcards


    Everyone fell silent.


    After getting up from the chair, Arthur proceeded to walk over to the window. He opened the curtains slightly and saw the never-ending devastation that had been inflicted upon the once unimaginably stunning location.


    "The world is a beautiful ce, but there are far too many shadowy ces in it. It''s possible that some people are evil while others are good. Nevertheless, there is a little bit of gray in everyone."


    After taking onest look at the towering mountains, he closed the curtains and then turned his attention to the four men who were shaking their heads.


    "I am aware that it is extremely selfish of me to ask you four for assistance.'''' Arthur shifted his weight and turned his body so that he was leaning against the window. "You each have your own families to look after. There are those who are concerned about you and will feel a great deal of loss if anything should happen to you."


    "You''ve got that right." Xerxus stepped forward and looked at Arthur with a disapproving expression on his face before asking, "What if anyone from High Society finds out that we helped you? They would target our families."


    "Is that what you are worried about?" Arthur asked. After asking that, he noticed that everyone was nodding their heads.


    The beginnings of a grin surfaced on his face as he said, "Well, if it does make you feel more at ease. I am aware of a way to ensure that it will be impossible to determine the identities of you four."


    "Hmm?" Xerxus came to aplete halt.


    Amour listened intently with an air of curiosity, and Isaac''s ears perked up.


    The sound of Kalzer''s footsteps echoed throughout the room.


    Arthur pulled open a cab drawer and took out a box that was stuffed with different masks. Following that, he set it down on the carbon desk.


    "Masks? This is your idea?" Xerxus'' eyes narrowed as he red furiously at the masks.


    Isaac questioned with a twinkle in his eye, "Are those?"


    "Shouldn''t you give them a shot at the very least?" Arthur presented a nk white mask with two ck dots ced in the center to serve as eye holes.


    Xerxus reached for the white mask and shoved it down onto his face with all his might. However, when he attempted to remove it, he discovered that he was unable to do so!


    "What?!" As he continued to speak, he became aware that his voice was bing deeper and more muffled.


    "Xerxus, look at your clothes!" Amour''s voice could be hearding from behind him.


    "Eh, what about my clothes?" Xerxus looked down at his body and noticed that he had unexpectedly gained 10 kilograms of weight, as well as the fact that his clothes were loose, and different. He wore a baggy hoodie.


    He made an effort to move his limbs, but he could sense that his speed was not in the least bit affected by the baggy clothes.


    "What on earth is this...?" He looked over at Arthur and caught a glimpse of the sly grin on his face.


    "With this, you could escape whenever you want," Amour remarked as he picked up a scarlet mask that had two cat ears attached to it.


    "You are correct. I do have the ability to flee if I so choose." After taking a seat, Arthur stated, "However, I am unable to do so without sacrificing someone very near and dear to me."


    "Hmm?" Everyone turned their attention to him.


    "Should something unexpected happen to me, they would pursue the people I care about the most. The only way to prevent that from happening is if members of High Society are aware of where I am.


    Kalzer scowled and asked with a frown, "So, you want to flee this ce while simultaneously informing High Society of where you intend to go?"


    "Exactly." In response, Arthur stood and stated, "That being the case, teleportation pearls are not an option. I can''t have them worrying about my whereabouts!''


    "You people are insane!'''' Xerxus pounded his palms on the desk and yelled at him, "Shouldn''t you care about yourself during times like these? You have no idea what they are going to do, do you?"


    "I am aware that they are making every effort to locate my whereabouts. They are going to torture that information out of my wonderful employees, and the thought of it alone causes my heart to break.


    "I''m going to guess that you have a location in mind." When Isaac did finally speak, he drew everyone''s attention with his words, which were as follows: "A ce where you can feel both safe and unsafe."


    A smirk appeared on Arthur''s face, and he nodded as he continued, "There is a ce near Summend, a tropical ind. Additionally, it is the location where I conceived the initial idea for White Online!"


    "So, you want us to take you there," Kalzer said.


    Arthur nodded and said, "I have no doubt that High Society would be pleased if they knew I was going there. It''s not a very public ce, so they would love for me to go there."


    "Will you be able to live there?" Amour questioned.


    "Yes, and I can get stronger at that location..." Arthur shed a self-assured grin.


    Isaac, Xerxus, Amour, and Kalzer all exchanged looks with one another.


    "Without your help, there is no way that this will be sessful." Arthur knelt slowly on the ground and bowed his head as he pleaded, "Please if you could do me this favor... I willpensate you in a way that will make all of your hard work worthwhile!"


    Xerxus moved closer to the others and murmured, "This is going to be extremely dangerous, and this could go on for a few weeks. During this time, it is highly unlikely that we will be able to get in touch with our families, which will cause them a great deal of concern."


    "Also, what if High Society discovers that we vanished without a trace? They are able to put the pieces together." Amour shared his concerns with them.


    "¡­" Kalzer stayed silent.


    "I believe that we ought to assist him," Isaac chimed in all of a sudden.


    "What?!" Xerxus jerked his head in his direction and demanded to know, "Did you not hear anything we said?"


    "I did, but listen me out." Isaac made a motion for them to lean closer, and they did so. He then asked, "If Arthur passes away, what do you think happens to White Online?"


    Xerxus, Amour, and Kalzer were deep in thought as they stood there in silence. When they considered all of the possibilities, the anxiousness in their chests increased significantly.


    "Have you heard about the sudden massacre that took ce on the Board of Directors exactly one year ago?" Isaac inquired, and they responded with a yes.


    "After the announcement, it is highly likely that they intended to seize control of Legacy Company; however, Arthur managed to foil their ns. What would happen if he passed away right now, and High Society took over management of thepany?''


    "White Online will be a yground for the rich." Xerxus sported a frown.


    "That''s right, and after witnessing that, the gods might as well give up on us," Isaac continued by crossing his arms over his chest and saying, "Arthur is possibly the only one the Gods trust, and I am not sure about you three, but I would like for them to stay on our side!"


    "You''ve got that right..." Xerxus nodded.


    "What about high society, and is there a chance that we''ll get caught?'''' Amour asked.


    Issac took out the Silvernium and told them, "Write letters about going on a short trip to rx your minds or whatever."


    "Well, what then?" Kalzer asked.


    "I will deliver them to your rooms, and your families will get them."


    "Doesn''t that sound fishy to you?" Amour showcased a frown.


    "Oh, that''s for sure, and your families are going to give you a hard time about it. Nevertheless, at least they won''t get in touch with the authorities."


    "Alright¡­" Xerxus exhaled deeply and then nodded, saying, "Let''s do it your way."


    Isaac shifted his attention to Arthur, who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Okay, we are going to help you. However, the reward better be worthwhile of all the trouble.''''


    Arthur''s eyes disyed shock before he broke into a pleasantly surprised smile and eximed, "Alright!"

 Chapter 516 The Power to Crack Dimensions

    Chapter 516 The Power to Crack Dimensions


    "We are going to leave tonight as soon as the sun goes down." After he finished speaking, Arthur passed over the masks.


    Amour was given the crimson mask with ears shaped like a cat. As soon as he put it on, his physical characteristics, as well as his clothes, began to transform. The peculiar thing about his appearance was that his face had whiskers and cat ears. He had the appearance of a cosyer.


    The mask given to Kalzer was ck on the outside and white on the inside. After donning it, he immediately began to lose weight, and hisplexion became more tanned. In the past, he had the appearance of a tanned man, but now his skin was the color of copper.


    Xerxus was already hiding behind his mask.


    Isaac agreed to wear Arthur''s old mask, which had a very peculiar appearance. It was a mask in the shape of a heart decorated with drawings made with pencils.


    As soon as he put it on, his muscles started to lessen, and soon, he was as thin as a stick. His head had taken on a form that was reminiscent of a heart, but otherwise, he presented an unremarkable appearance.


    "Give me your phones." Arthur put out his hand.


    All four of the men reached into their pockets, pulled out their phones, and handed them over to Arthur.


    Arthur did not waste even a single second as he smashed the phones at the corner of the table, instantly shattering the screen.


    Crack, crack, and crack some more!


    None of the four men offered their thoughts but instead remained silent and watched.


    "There." The young men caught the shattered phone that Arthur threw back at them and said, "Put them in your inventories."


    The task waspleted by the four men.


    There were a few Chain Breakers who attempted to bring their phones to the game with them. However, the phones didn''t work, and the screen didn''t even turn on.


    "There will be around four hours left." When Arthur looked at the watch on his wrist, he saw that there were four hours left until sunset, ''''Rx until then, because once we leave this ce, we won''t be able to get nearly as much sleep as we need."


    The four men nodded in agreement and then dispersed themselves throughout the room.


    After passing Isaac in a nonchnt manner, Kalzer sidenced at him and said, "I guess our fight will have to wait."


    "Seems like it." Isaac gave a slight quiver of his upper lip in response. The fact that they had to postpone their fight was fine with both of them. On the other hand, the general public will be extremely impatient and curious about where they have disappeared to.


    "Wait, you two nned on getting into a fight?" Arthur questioned with a frown on his face.


    "Yes," Isaac remarked, at which point Kalzer turned his attention to Arthur.


    "Damn¡­ If the two of you just vanished without a trace and people noticed it, it could turn into a problem..." Arthur got to his feet and walked over to the nearbyputer.


    Both Kalzer and Isaac came to a stop next to him and looked curiously at the screen ofputer.


    "I will change the date of the fight after I connect to the White Online servers," Arthur remarked as his fingers moved gracefully across the keyboard.


    Isaac and Kalzer nodded.


    After opening the Colosseum files, Arthur navigated to the match-ups in the database. It listed all of the uing matches and indicated the number of people who were anticipated to attend each one. One of the matches showed a number that was in the millions of people, whereas the majority of the matches had fewer than ten people.


    "Troublesome¡­" Arthur scratched his chin nervously before pressing the date. Then, as he considered the appropriate date for the assignment, he rubbed his forehead. Depending on how quickly they travel, their trip couldst anywhere from a few weeks to an entire month.


    "Sigh, a month it is." After typing the date, Arthur proceeded to hit the enter key.


    The announcement board in the Colosseum suddenly shed red, and the fight between Wraith and Kalzer dropped to the bottom of the list.


    "Eh, what the heck is going on?! "The yers broke out into heated debates. The match-up that everyone was looking forward to taking ce unexpectedly fell to the bottom of the list!


    The much-anticipated match will now take ce one monthter than originally nned; what a letdown!


    "Was it a bug?!"


    "Or, did Wraith and Kalzer decide to fight exactly one monthter?!"


    "Oh no, I had to take time off from work just so I could watch that fight!"


    ¡­


    "Done." Before the High Society discovered what he was doing on theputer, Arthur exited the program and closed theputer. They kept an eye on his every move and would know instantly if he made a phone call, did something on hisputer, or used his phone.


    However, there was a brief dy, and Arthur was able to alter the date ten seconds before anyone would discover the truth.


    Isaac gave a brief nod before moving to a distant corner of the room. Once there, he took a seat and leaned his back against the backrest of the chair.


    A few rows ahead, in a seat close to the barricaded window, Amour sat nonchntly. He closed his eyes and made the decision to get some rest for a few hours before beginning the long journey.


    Xerxus sat in the front row and pulled out a variety of apparatus used in the creation of potions. He made the decision to fill his time with something productive. In the real world, he learned how to make potions, and the process wasn''t all that difficult. There were not many adjustments that were required to be made.


    Kalzer grabbed a sheet of nk paper and a pencil from his desk. He made the decision to write the letter right now.


    Arthur double-checked each and every bag to ensure that he didn''t leave anything important behind.


    A few hourster.


    After sleeping for a while longer, Amour eventually woke up and made the decision to write his letter. He took the sheet of nk paper and the pencil that Arthur had given him. After that, he scribbled something down hastily and handed it to Isaac.


    Isaac grabbed it and turned to face Kalzer, who had been attempting to write the letter for the previous two hours. At first nce, it appeared as though he was attempting to write a letter for his father. It was a challenging task for him because he did not want him to be angry with his mother or his siblings.


    Xerxus finished brewing the fifth potion and added it to his stockpile. Then, he turned his body around and asked Amour for paper, and after receiving a nk scrap of paper, he turned around and started writing.


    In the same manner as Amour, he penned the letter in a matter of minutes. After that, he threw it to Isaac, who put it on the table.


    Isaac patiently waited while tapping his finger against the carbon desk like a drumstick. He did this the whole time.


    Then, following an additional ten minutes of waiting, Kalzer sighed and made his way over to Isaac. He handed the paper over while his hands were shaking and then returned to his seat.


    "Alright, how are you going to deliver the papers in an hour?" While Xerxus was looking through the obstructed windows, he asked the question. The sky was bing more ominous as if it were being obscured by gray clouds.


    "Tell me your address, and specifically where your bedroom is," Isaac reached into his holster and pulled out the Silvernium before asking.


    "Eh?" A frown appeared on the faces of Xerxus, Amour, and Kalzer. The answer to that question was not entirely clear. However, in order to ensure that no one else overheard them, they whispered the addresses of their bedrooms and the locations of where their houses were located.


    Isaac ingrained all of those addresses and specific locations into his brain. After that, he directed the Silvernium toward the piece of paper that Kalzer had written.


    After he pulled the trigger, an eerie sound could be heard throughout the entire room.


    Arthur, along with the other four men, frowned as they looked at the gun. Then, in astonishment, their eyes shook as they witnessed the sudden disappearance of Kalzer''s paper into a fissure in the air!

 Chapter 517 The Descent from Heavens

    Chapter 517 The Descent from Heavens


    "Where did it go?" Xerxus questioned as he peered over the top of theputers.


    "To Kalzer''s room," Isaac said.


    Inside Kalzer''s room, there was a slight rip in the air, and a letter flew through the opening.


    The letter softlynded on the top of the desk, just to the side of the VR Helmet.


    "Wow, what exactly is this weapon?" Arthur''s interest got piqued. He approached Isaac and peered curiously at the Silvernium.


    "I don''t remember this weapon being on White Online, but oh well, there are hundreds of unknown items that even I am not aware of."


    "This is a teleportation gun?" Arthur asked with a thoughtful look on his face.


    "Something like that" Isaac smiled wryly as he responded and then reached for Amour''s letter. After that, he pulled the trigger, and the letter vanished into thin air.


    After he finished with Xerxus'' letter, he reached into the front pocket of his coat and took out his own letter. After throwing it into the air, he fired the gun, and a fissure appeared in the air, swallowing it whole.


    Soon after that, his letter presented itself to him on his pillow.


    "Are you positive that the letters have entered one of our rooms," Amour questioned with a trace of hesitance. They only revealed their addresses and the locations of their bedrooms.


    "Yes, for sure." Isaac''s self-assurance stemmed from the fact that Silvernium''s voice kept popping up in his head at random intervals. He exined where the letters were ultimately delivered.


    "Good." After giving a small nod, Xerxus looked down at his odd body and asked Arthur, "Can I change my mask? I am afraid my speed will be affected."


    "There is no need to worry about it. It doesn''t." Arthur had stowed the masks away in his bag. Due to the fact that they are extremely rare White Online products, he had no intention of abandoning them here.


    "I certainly hope so." Xerxus began to stretch and moved his limbs around his body. As he lifted his legs toward the ceiling, he demonstrated an impressive degree of flexibility.


    Arthur walked over to the window, peered out, and saw the deserted streets. From this vantage point, he could see that his house was in ruins and that it had beenpletely demolished.


    ¡­


    "What the hell just urred?!'''' A man with graying hair strode into the control room, looking eerie. This location served as the Souldeath Family''s Military Facility, built close to White Paradise in order to keep an eye on things.


    There were thousands of soldiers just on themand deck watching the monitors that disyed White Paradise. They were keeping a close eye on the situation. Nevertheless, a few hours ago, for some unexined reason, each of the monitors suddenly turned off.


    They learned during this time that four different people had entered White Paradise. They were unable to assess their appearance because the monitors were malfunctioning.


    Now, the men stationed there have vanished without a trace.


    The highest-ranking member of the Souldeath military stood up, saluted themander, the eerie-looking man, and announced, "Sir, four unknown figures have entered the Legacy Company and have met with Arthur!"


    "Damn it! Are they members of his support group?" Indignantly, the man with the ash-gray hair asked.


    "I am not sure, sir!"


    "Then find out!" The man with the ash-gray hair sat down and then reached into his pocket for some pills. He shoved them down his throat and swallowed them quickly.


    His name is Lunatic Souldeath, and his father, Lord Souldeath, dispatched him to this location with the mission of monitoring their troops.


    Already very unhappy about the fact that Arthur had not passed away, Lord shared the sentiments of many other members of High Society. Still, they had no intention of sending their most capable soldiers to eliminate an insect.


    Their preparations for White Online were still not finished. They needed time, and once done with preparations, they would finish off Arthur once and for all, then log into White Online and seize control of it.


    During that time, they were certain that they could dethrone the gods.


    The highest-ranking soldier rendered a final salute and then turned his attention to the monitors. He was so worried that he bit his lower lip because if he didn''t discover their identities, they would be doomed.


    Lunatic Souldeath was a man widely known for his very unreasonable behavior. If he didn''t approve of something, he wouldn''t hesitate to let others know how he felt about it.


    "Come on, show yourselves on the monitors!" The soldier let out a scream as he looked at the monitors, which disyed the image of the tall building. Unfortuitously, wooden nks blocked the windows, making it impossible to peer inside.


    ¡­


    As the sun gradually disappeared from the sky, a nket covering the entire sky in a dark color gradually appeared.


    The view of the moonlight was obstructed by the clouds, which gave the impression that the White Paradise was enclosed within a pitch-ck dome.


    It was now officially nighttime.


    The five individuals, including Arthur, emerged from the stairwell on the ground level of the Legacy Company building.


    They saw the dead bodies lying on the floor, and the blood from their wounds stained the floor.


    They quickly averted their gazes and exited the structure. They were separated from one another by a gust of icy wind, which created an atmosphere of peace and stillness.


    The city appeared to be at rest but also deserted, like a setting from a horror movie.


    Arthur asked Xerxus to check the route while he adjusted the cor of his winter jacket.


    "Roger." Xerxus moved his right arm behind him while simultaneously moving his left arm in front of him. After that, he moved forward one step while maintaining the same fluid movement with his arms.


    WHOOSH!


    After Xerxus moved, the wind blew stronger than before, and this time, it was warmer, and the snow slightly got pushed away from its wake.


    In a matter of seconds, a bolt of lightning moved across the city, and then it reappeared right next to Arthur.


    "Empty," Xerxus spoke withposure, exhibiting no signs of being out of breath at all.


    "All right, let''s get moving!" It was up to Arthur to take the lead, so he started walking through the deserted streets.


    Amour conjured up his two-handed axe and slung it across his back before continuing. Almost instantly, his aura grew stronger, bing a dangerous hunter.


    The spear that appeared on Kalzer''s back was not Odin''s spear. Before he given his legacy, he used this spear, which was one of his older ones. Because it was an ordinary spear, he decided to use it to conceal his true identity.


    Amour did the same.


    Isaac drew out the ck Silvercloud, which had a silvery sheen to it. Even though Silvercloud was repulsed by the decision, just before he left, he painted the gunpletely ck.


    They started walking in a rxed manner while maintaining a heightened vignce in all of their senses.


    Arthur continued to search the empty buildings and cast several looks toward the empty rooftops as he did so. The entirety of the City gave the impression of being deserted, just as Xerxus had predicted.


    On the other hand, as they progressed further into the City. Arthur''s actions came to a halt, and he let out a yell.


    "Be on the lookout!"


    His right arm suddenly sprouted a golden shield, which he used to cover the rest of his body.


    Ratatatatatata!


    A hail of bullets descended from the heavens.

 Chapter 518 The Battle of White Paradise

    Chapter 518 The Battle of White Paradise


    The deadly rain of bullets showered on top of Arthur. However, his golden shield was able to deflect all of the bullets with rtive ease, and his expression remained unruffled throughout the ordeal.


    After taking a step forward, Xerxus bolted away like a lightning bolt, leaving behind a scorchedndscape in his wake.


    As Amour smashed his two-handed axe at the hail of bullets, his hidden muscles bulged in a threatening manner. However, due to the adorable cosy he was wearing, it did not appear to be as intimidating as he had hoped.


    Kalzer held the spear in both hands as he whirled it around quickly. The spinning spear generated such a strong wind gust that it was able to deflect all of the bullets. Nobody else came close to matching Kalzer''s towering stature.


    The most peculiar aspect of Isaac''s defense was his blocking strategy. He continued to weave through the rubble and dodged the bullets. After pulling his head backward for a while, he would asionally nt his head forward, to the left, then to the right, and then resume pulling his head backward.


    Despite how ridiculous it seemed, every bullet managed to miss his body by a very narrow margin.


    On top of the rooftop, armed individuals dressed in dark clothing continued to fire their weapons until the magazines ran dry. They continued firing while simultaneously switching magazines with some deft handwork.


    But almost immediately, they became aware of a peculiar gust of wind approaching from behind them. The soldiers were taken aback, and after turning around, they met with Xerxus'' fist.


    Whack, bang, thwack, and pow!


    Soon after, all of the soldiers dressed in dark clothing copsed unconscious on the rooftops.


    Xerxus reappeared on the ground below with a casual demeanor as if what he had just aplished was nothing out of the ordinary.


    When Arthur peered over the golden shield, he revealed a stern frown on his face. They still had a distance of a few hundred meters to travel before they would arrive at the gates that led out of the White Paradise. On the other hand, there were an excessive number of blind spots.


    His level of defense was considerably lower than that of the other four men. If a bullet were to hit him in the head, it would likely be fatal.


    Then,pletely out of the blue.


    Isaac aimed the dark Silvercloud at the roof of the building, which was approximately one hundred meters away. Everyone heard the deafening sound of a bang not long after he made the motion of firing with his finger.


    Bang!


    The bullet, making a swooshing sound as it traveled through the air, tore through the air and flew past several buildings before crashing into the wall of the convenience store.


    BOOM!


    CRACK!


    The store got destroyed, and to everyone''s surprise, there were ten soldiers dressed in ck hiding inside!


    They were all knocked off their feet, and when theynded on top of the shattered rubble, they sustained serious injuries. The majority of them suffered from broken bones, but a few of them were lucky enough to escape with only sprains.


    "How were you even aware that there were people?" Amour inquired about it out of natural interest.


    "He was able to hear them breathing. Isaac has indeed reached the top of the Marksman ss," Arthur said, giving the impression that he was slightly impressed.


    Isaac quickly slid the Silvercloud back into its holster and decided to let others decide the fate of these soldiers.


    Xerxus did not waste any time in making his move and immediately began to run. The sh of lightning went to a hardware store close by, grabbed a length of rope, and then ran in the direction of the individuals wearing dark clothing. After that, he ran around the dark-clothed soldiers, tying them with rope while doing so.


    After he finished, he appeared next to Arthur, and the soldiers who were wearing dark clothing were now tied together with a long piece of rope while groaning in pain.


    After giving a brief smile, Arthur''s expression changed to one of mild displeasure. There was motion in the area close to the gates.


    The area got suddenly overrun by hundreds of heavily armed soldiers dressed in ck. They were being led by a spectral-appearing man with graying hair who, despite his apparent age, appeared to be quite old.


    "Arthur, it appears that you have been affected by radiation poisoning! Therefore, I am only going to say this once: please remain here until we are able to treat you!" They heard the voice of Lunatic Souldeath.


    "Lunatic, there''s no reason for you to lie." A de with a long hilt and a curved edge materialized in Arthur''s hand, and a tiny me materialized on the edge of the de.


    "Would you kindly remain here? If you go out into the world, you could potentially spread radiation poisoning, which would result in the deaths of many!" The crazed individual yelled while pretending to be ignorant.


    After a moment of silence, Arthur rolled his eyes and said, "This location does not have radiation. Since everyone is aware, there is no point in lying."


    "Don''t you see? Of course, this ce has," Lunatic scratched his chin and looked at the destroyed buildings with a ''pained'' expression on his face.


    Arthur shed a naive grin before pulling something from his pocket and revealing a device. It disyed a reading of zero for the amount of radiation present.


    "See?"


    The expression on Lunatic''s face began to disintegrate, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Fine, I am done ying around. Kill him!"


    The group of soldiers, numbering in the hundreds, aimed their weapons and unleashed a barrage of ming hot bullets upon the sky!


    They tore through the atmosphere like a meteor shower ripping throughyer afteryer of clouds!


    "Who will be the one to receive honors?" The wall of bullets waspletely ignored by Arthur as he turned his attention to the four other men.


    "Let me!" Amour made a tremendous leap forward while simultaneously swinging the two-handed axe.


    "Godly Warcry!" He hoisted the axe high above his head and hurled it in all directions across the clear blue sky. The two-handed axe whirled around like a fan and cut through the never-endingyers of bullets in a straight line.


    In spite of this, the bullets began to disintegrate as a result of a chain reaction. None of the bullets were able to travel beyond the predetermined point, and soon there were over a thousand broken bullets lying on the ground.


    The axe continued to fly through the air and eventuallynded directly in front of Lunatic, with the de prating the ground at a considerable depth.


    A look of mild concern appeared on Lunatic''s face. On the other hand, when he realized that the assault was over, he let out a huge sigh of relief.


    The soldiers looked shocked when they saw their bullets disintegrate before their very eyes.


    However, that was not the end of their surprise. The ground began to fracture all around the axe, and shortly thereafter, an enormous chasm appeared!


    Everything started getting sucked into the crevice!


    "?!" The eyes of the Lunatic began to shake, and all of a sudden, he vanished from where he was standing and appeared behind the soldiers. It appeared as though he had somehow teleported!


    The soldiers, however, did not fare as well, as one after another of them got consumed by the fissure. As soon as the crack stopped growing, fifty percent of the soldiers were consumed by the fissure and were found no longer existing; they had been lost forever, buried deep within the murky depths.


    "Whew." Arthur gave a small p and expressed his admiration.


    On the other hand, Lunatic was aware of that and became furious. Instantaneously, he vanished, and then he materialized directly behind Arthur!


    Both Kalzer and Xerxus had shocked expressions on their faces and did not appear to be at all prepared.


    Lunatic clenched his fist and delivered a blow toward Arthur''s nape, but thetter remained immobile throughout the ordeal.


    The punch continued to fly and came dangerously close to hitting the nape. On the other hand, right at that very instant, a pale hand sliced through the air and caught the fist.


    "?!" Lunatic turned his attention to Isaac,pletely dumbfounded by the fact that his attack had elicited a response from someone.

 Chapter 519 Xerxus Speed!

    Chapter 519 Xerxus'' Speed!


    "Sneak attack, hmm." After turning around, Arthur grinned and said, "How sneaky. Did the Lord teach you to do that?"


    "Hmph!" Once more, Lunatic vanished, and then he was found perched on top of a nearby rooftop. The structure below him was a burned library that had been home to one of the most extensive book collections in the world.


    Due to the fact that Arthur enjoyed reading so much, he went there almost every day before White Online. At this point, none of the books remained.


    "Realm Hopper." Isaac murmured something under his breath and narrowed his eyes as he asked, "Which Legacy Figure could have the simr ability, Arthur?"


    "I can''t say for sure, but there is a possibility that nobody has." Arthur crossed his arms and said with a serious expression, "There are very few Special Legacy Figures that could have an ability rted to Swordsmanship, but they could still let their carrier use other sses."


    "Because of this, it''s been given the name Special Legacy."


    "This is going to be annoying, but Realm Hoppers don''t have any physical skills," Xerxus said while rubbing his hands.


    "Be careful. He might try to use his ability to get us out of here by taking us into space out of desperation. Both of you would perish, but I seriously doubt that he would care if he is able to take your life, Arthur." Isaac jogged their memory.


    "Yeah¡­ He is a dangerous opponent." There was a frown on Arthur''s face as he said, "He can follow us until the end of the world, and there is nothing we can do."


    "Nothing? Heh." Xerxus saw that as a challenge and epted it. His arms and legs moved in a smooth and coordinated manner, and he moved across the street as quickly as a sh of lightning.


    In the time it takes to bat an eyelid.


    He suddenly materialized in Lunatic''s line of sight, his fist raised and directed toward thetter''s cranium.


    "?!" Even though Lunatic''s reaction speed wasn''t terrible, Xerxus'' speed still managed to catch him off guard.


    Once more, he clenched his fists and vanished into the distance a few kilometers away.


    "Who exactly is that fatty?" He frowned as he observed the altered appearance of Xerxus'' body. The usefulness of Arthur''s mask was unexpectedly greater than even they could have anticipated. Due to the peculiar nature of their appearance, Lunatic did not take them seriously.


    Then, he observed a lightning bolt off in the distance, and Xerxus materialized only a few hundred meters away from him.


    "?!" After a moment of reflection, Lunatic was almost certain that he saw a grin on Xerxus''s face.


    He teleported away as the wind picked up, but he was unable to rx for even a second because a sh of lightning followed him.


    A bolt of lightning and a man with the ability to teleport appeared out of nowhere, and the entirety of the city served as their battleground!


    "This is our chance. Let''s run!" After yelling, Arthur started running toward the exit, and Isaac, Kalzer, and Amour, who had just picked up his axe from the ground, followed closely behind him.


    They fled the city and continued their run in the direction of the snowy forest that was visible in the distance. It was tucked away in the shadow of a massive mountainside. There were four mountains there, and their names were Winter, Snow, Ice, and Cold.


    Because of the extremely low temperature there, it was highly unlikely that very many people would survive there. On the other hand, there have been whispers of several secretmunities located there.


    Wrrrrr!


    As Arthur made a sharp turn to the left, a number of military vehicles emerged from the snowy road that led to the military instation. Each and every one of them had a mounted weapon, and soldiers were in charge of operating them!


    Kalzer gave the spear a whirl before tossing it toward the vehicle that was closest to them. The de of the spear was so sharp that it easily sliced through the sturdy military vehicle, thereby destroying both the engine and the weapon!


    The soldiers jumped out of the vehicle just in time to make their escape before the explosionpletely destroyed the vehicle.


    When Kalzer put his hand out in front of him, the spear came flying back in his direction.


    Isaac drew Silvercloud from its hiding ce and pulled the trigger.


    One swift shot was all it took for the bullet to punch through another military vehicle, thereby destroying both the engine and the weapon.


    As they had done in the past, the soldiers jumped out of the vehicle and ran away just in time to escape the explosion that the vehicle was about to cause.


    Within the confines of White Paradise.


    "Hmm?!" After hearing the sounds of explosions, Lunatic turned his attention to the snow-covered forest. He could make out four figures moving toward the edge of the forest!


    "No!"


    "Yes!" Suddenly, Xerxus materialized next to him out of thin air and hit him squarely in the cheek with a punch.


    Thwack!


    "UUURGH!" The crazed individual gotunched into the air and then crashed into the nearby structure. It looked like he lost a good portion of his teeth, and there were cracks all over his head.


    Whenbined with his incredible speed, Xerxus'' punch possesses a frightening level of power.


    Lunatic experienced a moment of panic and immediately teleported to the location that, to him, appeared to be the safest for the time being. After experiencing dizziness and seeing nothing but hazy images, he eventually made his way onto the military base with a cut across his face.


    "Commander!" The soldiers shouted, and then they assisted him in standing up.


    "Ugh!" While holding his throbbing cheek, Lunatic yelled, "Call the Hunters. We need to track them down!"


    "Y-Yes, sir!"


    ¡­


    Arthur and the others entered the forest.


    Soon after that, Xerxus appeared before them with his incredible speed, which caused the snow to scatter all around them.


    "Is he keeping an eye on us?" When Arthur asked, they were in the middle of navigating through a snow forest. He also frequented the well-known White Paradise forest on a daily basis but never ventured into the surrounding mountains.


    Even for seasoned hunters, the mountains posed a significant threat. However, they had no choice but to traverse it, and Arthur no longer believed it to be in a dangerous condition. Because he and the others were Chain Breakers, they were considerably more powerful than any seasoned hunter.


    "Nope," Xerxus responded nonchntly while continuing to run at his normal speed, which was significantly faster than what the others were capable of. However, once he had adjusted to his superspeed, it felt like he was going no faster than a crawl.


    "Good, now, let''s make enough tracks so that their Hunters can follow us," Arthur said, "They will be a few hours behind us, so let''s keep it that way," and he increased the weight of his footsteps, making a clear print of his footstep on the ground.


    "Alright." They nodded, then continued to make tracks that were straightforward enough for the Hunters to follow. They did not put their faith in the footprints because there was a possibility that a storm would erase those tracks.


    As a result, they cut themselves multiple times on the tips of their fingers and spread their blood across the branches and trees. Because of this, the incredible senses of the Hunter would be able to detect the scent of blood on them, which made it simple for them to track them down.


    "I don''t know about you three, but I''m having a good time," Xerxus remarked with a grin as he went about his business in a rxed manner.


    "The chilly weather doesn''t bother you, does it?" Isaac was curious about this because the vast majority of tourists from other continents always seem to beining about how cold it is.


    "Don''t worry. It''s invigorating!" While Xerxus was pleasantly surprised by the pleasant weather, he remarked, "Perhaps I will move here; who knows."

 Chapter 520 Where Are They?

    Chapter 520 Where Are They?


    In Snowstar.


    Knock, knock.


    Luna gave the door made of oak a light flick of her wrist and rapped on it twice. She was over at the Whitelock Residence, or to be more specific; she came to see Isaac.


    The moonlight shone upon her as the moon hung high in the sky.


    It was gettingte; the clock was getting closer to 8 o''clock. Despite the fact that Luna slept here with Isaac quite frequently, there were still times when she slept in thefort of her own home.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    Luna could hear a quiet pair of footstepsing from the direction of the door, and shortly thereafter, it squeaked open, revealing Isabe dressed in her usual attire.


    "Oh, hey, sweetheart." Isabe smiled softly as she extender her hand, and patted on Luna''s soft silky hair.


    "Hey, mother-inw, Isaac didn''t answer my phone calls, so I came here instead. I am wondering if he is in his room? He didn''t seem to be inside the game either." Luna asked as Isabe removed her hand from her head.


    "He must be in his room because he didn''te for dinner," Isabe said and let Luna in. She turned her head toward the second floor, wondering where her son was, but this wasn''t the first time he had skipped dinner.


    "Alright!" Isabe watched as Luna skipped up the stairs and was soon out of her sight.


    After returning to the kitchen, Isabe prepared to wash the dishes as the lighting in the room became dimmer.


    Upstairs, when Luna opened the door to Isaac''s room, she shed a smile that showed off her pearly white teeth. She was about to say something, but then she noticed the empty bed.


    There was no one in the room.


    "Hmm, I wonder if he''s taking a shower right now." As Luna entered the room, she couldn''t help but wonder about something. She moved in the direction of the restroom door and opened it without first knocking.


    Their rtionship had progressed to the point where they were not embarrassed to show each other their bodies anymore. They had both experienced some initial embarrassment about it, but over time they overcame it.


    After she threw open all the doors to the bathroom, she met with yet another vacant scene. It was obvious from theck of moisture on the tiled floor that no one had showered today.


    She rubbed her cheek with her finger and then walked to the wardrobe. She moved the clothing out of the way and then opened the ck box to take a look inside. There was the VR Helmet.


    "Where is he?" She made a frowning face and reached into her back pocket to retrieve her phone. At first, she tried to reach Isaac by phone, but the call went straight to his voice mail. .


    Her frown became even more pronounced, and she reached for her phone to dial Lionel''s number, specting that he may have gone to dojo despite the fact that he never goes there at this particr time of the day.


    Ring¡­


    The phone began to ring and vibrate simultaneously. As soon as the call connected, Luna could hear gentle breathinging from the other side of the line.


    "Who is this?" She could hear the reverberation of Lionel''s voiceing from the phone, followed by the sound of soft panting.


    "It''s Luna."


    "Ah, Isaac''s girlfriend! What''s going on?'' Lionel ceased his workout in the dojo and sat down on the floor. He reached into his bag, pulled out a water bottle, and devoured it with a ravenous appetite.


    "Excuse me, but could you tell me if Isaac is present?"


    "Hmm, no?" Lionel peered out of the door of his training room and saw that the dojo was mostly empty. If Isaac was around, he would be aware of it.


    In the past year, this dojo has seen a significant increase in attendance. Even when it ispletely dark outside, there is still a trace amount of traffic.


    "Are you in the dojo?"


    "Yes, but Isaac didn''te to dojo today," Lionel responded while putting the water bottle back in the bag. Then, he became aware of Luna''s slightly erratic breathing, which gave the impression that she was bing anxious about something.


    "Alright, thanks a lot..." Luna ended the phone call abruptly after that.


    "Hmm, strange." Lionel gave a shrug of the shoulders, jumped to his feet, and then pocketed the phone.


    Inside Isaac''s room.


    "Isaac," Luna murmured as she slipped the phone into her pocket with caution. "Where are you?"


    After carefully cing the phone in her pocket, she made her way over to the bed in a leisurely manner. She was about to sit down when she caught a glimpse of the pillow and something on top of it. This stopped her in her tracks.


    As she made a mad dash for the pillow, her eyes revealed a ripple in the water. She reached over and snatched a sheet of the paper pillow before repositioning herself so that she was lying on her back.


    She started reading the letter from the beginning:


    "Hello, this letter maye as aplete surprise, but I am currently visiting a friend with whom I have a meeting scheduled. My departure maye across as unexpected, and you are probably wondering why I didn''t tell anyone about it. The reason is that I simply forgot to do so. Please note that I will not be returning in a few weeks."


    Luna threw the paper down while making an angry face. Her innocent and beautiful face fell apart like a sand castle in the wind.


    "He is making things up..." Her eyes, which werepletely frozen, reflected a menacing glint and asked, "Why? Since this writing is in his handwriting, we can conclude that he didn''t get kidnapped.


    "You happened to forget? Have you given it any thought toe up with an exnation?" Her irises contracted, and she tore the paper into pieces.


    "My love¡­ you are treading on dangerous waters¡­"


    ¡­


    "Son?" A stunning woman of middle age entered the room as the door slowly opened to reveal her presence. Her name was Karen, and she was Kalzer''s mother.


    "...The breakfast is ready," She spoke softly as she peered over the bedframe towards the mattress, which was typically where she saw her son sleeping or ying.


    However, there was not a single person in the room. The nket draped over the mattress in an orderly fashion. The nket festooned over the pillows, and the rest of the space in the room appeared to be tidy.


    On the other hand, it did not look like there was anyone else there. Even the door to the restroom was vacant, revealing that there was no-one there.


    Karen entered the room and immediately started walking toward the desk. She noticed the helmet that his son wore, and then she saw the mysterious letter next to it.


    "What on earth is this?" She turned it open and started reading it very slowly. The handwriting belonged to his son, and in it, he discussed taking a short trip so that he could improve his skill with a spear. It would appear that there was a spear instructor in the nearby city who offered free lessons to those who were interested.


    After she had finished reading, she felt relieved that her son was putting in a lot of effort and that he was finally able to take deep breaths of fresh air outside without his father''s constant scrutiny. On the other hand, she couldn''t predict how her husband would behave in the situation.


    She mustered up her strength and made her way back downstairs. Her husband, who was also Kalzer''s father, was sitting at the table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.


    "Kai¡­" She came to a stop close to the table, and she positioned the letter so that it was facing the newspaper.


    "What on earth is this?" Kai showed his irritation while making an aggravated remark. He nced at the letter in a casual manner, but the further he read, the more enraged he became.


    "What a worthless piece of trash!" He smashed the table with the side of his fist, and then shouted, "Spear instructor? Does he take me for aplete idiot?! He must have gone off to some ce to lounge around!"


    "I-I don''t believe that this is the situation at all. You should know that our son would never tell a lie!" Karen made an effort to calm the situation.


    "Shut up!" In a furious rage, Kai smacked her hand away and stood up, saying, "Once that cretin is back, I will show what happens when he disobeys me. Whether he is a Chain Breaker or not, he cannot get away without paying the price!"

 Chapter 521 Alpha,and Beta

    Chapter 521 Alpha,and Beta


    Knock, knock!


    "Excuse me, young master!" After a number of knocks on the door, the servants opened it. A room that was both empty and luxurious greeted them.


    They worked for the Grayhound family as servants.


    "Where is he?" The servants looked curious as they looked around the room.


    The Head Servant then instructed the other employees to clean the room while she went back to the office. In the office, Amon Grayhound, the head of the Grayhound family and Amour''s father, upied his customary seat at the desk.


    "Master, the young master wasn''t in his room," The Head Servant bowed to him as a sign of respect before informing him.


    "Hmm, then where did he go?" Amon frowned and appeared to be getting ready to stand. However, right at that moment, one of the servants came running in and handed the Head Servant a letter. Additionally, he murmured something in her ear.


    Amon received the letter from the Head Servant, who said, "It would appear that young master has written a letter."


    "A letter?" Amon smiled and nodded before picking up his sses. He did not start reading until the spectaclesy on the bridge of his nose.


    Because Amour didn''t put much effort into the letter, and his father was able to tell, there were only a few rows of words included in it. He gave the letter a few more readings before taking off his sses and letting out a heavy sigh.


    "It would appear that he went hiking, which is a tant lie." Amon sat with his legs crossed and applied pressure to his temples.


    "W-What exactly should we be doing?" The Head Servant asked while she was shaking in her shoes.


    "Nothing." Amon sat back in his chair, ced his hands in the crooks of his knees, and looked out the window through the holes in the curtain. "He is just like his mother; he is always getting into trouble. However, he will be fine and back in a few weeks."


    "Y-Yes, sir!"


    ¡­


    Bam!


    "Brother, your mother is asking whether you would like..." Xerxus'' sister swung the door wide open. After realizing that her brother was nowhere in the room, she closed her tiny mouth and curiously looked around.


    "Where is he?" She discovered that the helmet had been left behind on the bed.


    Then, a tall figure appeared behind her and asked, "Where is Xerxus?"


    "I am not sure!" She entered the room with a skip, and her older brother came right behind her.


    They searched the room thoroughly before discovering the letter lying on the ground. Xerxus'' sister grabbed it with vigor and proceeded to read it all the way through.


    After reading the letter, she sported a surprised and very suspicious expression.


    "It would appear that Xerxus paid a visit to some of his friends!"


    "That''s a lie!" Her older brother yelled out ofplete and utter reflex. But as soon as he realized his mistake, he quickly covered his mouth.


    Her younger sister stifled her giggles and proceeded to read the letter once more. She persisted in tapping her foot against the wooden floor, pondering the possibility that Xerxus might, in fact, havepanions.


    "Let''s talk with mother!" She leaped to her feet and dashed briskly out of the room, her ponytail twirling behind her as she ran.


    ¡­


    In the Souldeath Castle.


    Smash!


    "What?!" Lord Souldeath let out a scream filled with rage. He appeared to be about to blow his top, as evidenced by the protrusion of his veins and the ballooning of his face.


    The soldier''s face was very pale, but he nodded. The information was ryed to him by the highest-ranking soldier stationed close to White Paradise. The soldiers had a duty to report the incident back to Headquarters, regardless of whether or not Lunatic attempted to keep the news hidden.


    Unhappily, it was the duty of the soldier with the pale face to deliver the news to Lord Souldeath, who never reacted well to receiving unfavorable information. His frail body appeared to be trembling violently, and it appeared as though he might pass away at any moment now.


    "How does that make any sense?!" Lord quickly grabbed the bottle of medication and sat down on the chair. He grabbed a handful of pills and then crammed them all in his mouth. After that, he got a hold of the cup of water and drowned them till they started traversing through his throat.


    "There are four people who are assisting him." The soldier with a pale face responded.


    "Who on earth are they?! Are they associated with the Secret Society?!" Lord inquired while his anger seeped into each and every word he spoke.


    "We are not sure. However, their outward appearance is quite peculiar, so identifying who they are shouldn''t be too difficult."


    "Then you better find out, and once you do, kill them!" Lord gestured for the soldier to leave his office immediately. dAfter the door had opened and then closed, he held his sore chest and heaved a heavy sigh.


    He could feel his heart thumping against his chest.


    "God damn it¡­ Arthur, why don''t you just give up and die already?"


    ¡­


    The moon was perched high in the night sky, and a brisk breeze was blowing through the snow-covered forest as the massive shadow of the Four Mountains loomed over the area.


    The trees in the forest turnedpletely ck, and the howls of wolves echoed throughout the night sky. The scene was made more beautiful and mysterious by the presence of stars in the sky.


    Somewhere in the forest, Arthur and the four men sat around a hot campfire with the fiery me.


    The smoke signal was barely visible in the pitch ckness of the night, but the me was high enough to send it into the sky. They knew it wouldn''t be too hard for the Hunters to notice it.


    Arthur imed that they had a lead of four hours over their enemies. As a result, they came to the conclusion that they should rest for two hours before continuing their journey toward the mountains.


    They weren''t going to be getting any sleep tonight.


    "Kalzer, is it true that Alpha Test had another Shooter ss?" Xerxus inquired in an inquisitive manner.


    Arthur appeared to be smiling for no apparent reason while he was looking at the fire. His eyes reflected the glimmer of me.


    Kalzer nodded while enjoying the chilly air and the cozy campfire.


    "It''s true," Amour responded while rubbing his hands together, "Moonfall, that was the ss'' name."


    "Moonfall¡­ Why was it taken out of the game, Arthur?'' Xerxus faced Arthur and asked.


    "Well, I found a better use for that ss," Arthur gave a cryptic grin and said, "Also, that ss contributed to a disruption in the bnce. Because of this, I needed to proceed cautiously and ensure that all sses had the same amount of power."


    "Break the bnce, like a game''s bnce?"


    "¡­" Arthur didn''t respond because none of the young men were aware of the demons'' existence.


    "What about the beta test? Was there anything interesting going on there?" Kalzer asked.


    Xerxus shrugged his shoulders and said, "The majority of the things were optimization. Do I have it right that the Alpha Test was all about fixing the sses, etc.?"


    "Yup."


    "Well, Beta Test was a lot duller,"


    With a grin on his face, Arthur replied, "Yes, because I nned the game for a long while, and by the time Alpha Test rolled around, I almost had all the things ready. But before I could release the game, I needed to make a few more adjustments. That''s why Beta Testing came to fruition."


    "Why wait a few more years to get the game published?" Isaac chimed in with ament out of nowhere.


    Arthur scratched the back of his neck and said, "Well, the timing was everything..."


    "Hmm?" The four men appeared to be very interested.


    "It doesn''t really matter, but I think it would be best if we leave now." After looking at the watch on his wrist, Arthur realized that the allotted time of two hours was almost up.


    The four men nodded and stood to their feet. They stamped on the campfire, putting an end to the ze in the process. Despite this, it still left a trail of smoke that Hunter could use to find their current location.

 Chapter 522 The Moonlight Shine

    Chapter 522 The Moonlight Shine


    Crunch, crunch, crunch.


    Arthur, followed by the four men, walked in the snow-covered forest. Their footsteps caused eversting crunching noises as they heavily stepped on the snowbeds.


    The night was dark and cold.


    The mountains loomed in the distance, looking like it was right in front of them. However, there was still several kilometers of distance before they reached the first mountain, the Mountain of Winter.


    ''''I hope our discussions didn''t bore you.'''' Amour whispered in Isaac''s ear while walking next to him, ''''We didn''t mean to exclude you from the talk.''''


    Isaac shook his head as he dodged a branch by nting his head to the left, ''''Nah, I am curious about your experiences. I just thought about what if I was part of Beta Testing. Maybe my life wouldn''t have been so dull.''''


    ''''Right, Arthur. Why wasn''t Isaac included in Beta Testing? He filled all the criteria.'''' Xerxus overheard the conversation and decided to ask from the Mister Chairman, the person responsible for deciding the people who may enter the testing.


    Arthur scratched his chin and said, ''''Because of Maxwell.''''


    ''''My father?'''' Isaac frowned and moved slightly closer to Arthur. Enough to hear his voice without having to perk his ears.


    ''''Yes, I once tried to get him to invest in mypany.'''' Arthur slightly chuckled, reminiscing about his early life, ''''However, he refused and thought I was crazy. Then, a month before the Beta test, I asked him if he wanted one of his sons or daughters to join.''''


    Isaac silently listened.


    Kalzer, Amour, and Xerxus continued breathing calmly while listening.


    Arthur sighed, ''''Again, he refused. Then, the year before, servers opened. I gathered everyone who refused to do anything with White Online. Most of them thought I should be in a mental institute.


    ''''But then, I showed all the samples of White Online. While the game itself impressed them all, it still didn''t change their minds. Then, Gaia appeared on therge screen that was in my meeting room.''''


    Arthur spread his arms wide, showing how enormous the screen was.


    ''''It covered the whole wall, and once Gaia appeared, everyone turned silent. Of course, her immense beauty made everyone speechless.


    ''''They didn''t treat her as human because they thought no one could be as beautiful as she. Once I introduced her as Gaia, they thought she was the famous A.I.


    ''''However, then something out of the ordinary happened, which even caught me off-guard. Gaia appeared in the meeting room in the flesh, surprising me. Then, she showed what she could do, and everyone''s opinion turned.


    ''''After that day, they all invested hefty sums in mypany, which made my preparationsplete. Now, I only had to wait till that destined date.''''


    Arthur turned towards Isaac, sadly smiling, ''''If I showed more proofs to your father earlier, maybe you would have entered Beta Testing. So, I am sorry about that.''''


    ''''It''s fine¡­'''' Isaac waved his hand and looked thoughtful.


    ''''If she can appear here¡­ Why didn''t she help you?'''' Xerxus asked.


    ''''She has far more important things to attend to, and I didn''t allow her,'''' Arthur said while crossing his arms.


    The four men turned silent.


    .


    The cold wind breeze sailed over them, and the sound of wolfs howling echoed from the direction of the mountains.


    ''''We should arrive in the mountains shortly.'''' Arthur said and slightly elerated his pace, ''''Luckily, they won''t enter these mountains.''''


    ''''Why not?'''' Amour asked.


    ''''Honestly, I am not sure.'''' Arthur said with a slight shrug of his shoulders, ''''The mountains are like sacrednd. They won''t enter it, but they will be waiting for us at the end of the mountainside.


    ''''So, the n is to rest there and finalize the phases of our n. After we leave the mountain, we have to fight it out.


    ''''If we manage to break through their blockage, we should arrive in City called White Harbor a few dayster. There, I have my ship, and the captain is a good friend of mine. He will take me to the tropical ind.


    ''''Then, he will take you four to Summend, where you will split and find your own way home.''''


    ''''Sounds good.'''' Kalzer nodded and felt slightly heavy in his heart. The reason for his silence was his father. He couldn''t stop thinking about what kind of reaction he had to his letter.


    There was a chance that he didn''t care. But the higher possibility was that he felt an incredible amount of anger.


    The tips of his fingers trembled as he thought about the time when he would return to his home. So far, he enjoyed thepany of these three young men who shared his interests.


    Even though this trip was deadly, and any of them could die. He still felt more alive here than back home.


    ''This ce is indeed beautiful.'' He thought while looking at the endless sea of stars. The moonlight bathed them while illuminating their path.


    ¡­


    Crunch, crunch, crunch.


    ''''Here!'''' One of the hunters shouted and stopped next to a tree with more blood fingerprints. They followed the trail of footprints and bloody marks on the trees. So far, their hunting trip had gone smoothly.


    Another hunter stopped next to the tree, took a few sniffs of the blood, and said, ''''These are a few hours old. They aren''t far!''''


    ''''Hah, these fools. They can''t even cover their tracks well!'''' Lunatic shouted manically, ''''Let''s move. Maybe we will catch them before morning!''''


    He passed the tree and dragged his feet through the soft snow. He continued panting as he tried to move quicker, which wasn''t the best solution. He could, of course, teleport, but he would never find them in this vast forest.


    Also, he most likely would get lost, and finding the hunters would be way too hard.


    The hunters wryly smiled while a few returned to their leader and began whispering with displeasing voices.


    ''''He will be the death of us!'''' One of the hunters whispered while making sure Lunatic didn''t hear.


    ''''That''s right!''''


    ''''There have been few instances when he ruined our good tracks and even continued moving unnecessarily quick. He will tire himself out, and us!''''


    ''''At this rate, we might not be at fighting condition if we find them!''''


    ''''Enough!'''' Their leader shouted and silenced them, ''''What do you want me to do? Tell him to leave? No thanks, I like to keep my head!''''

 Chapter 523 Forbidden Mountain

    Chapter 523 Forbidden Mountain


    "Ah." Arthur exited the forest and saw the beginning of the mountain. The sky turned dark gray; the night was ending.


    "Finally here¡­" He sighed, and the four men left the forest while still being in rtively good condition. Then, they saw therge snow-filled hill that went high up.


    They had to start climbing.


    Isaac frowned while massaging his temples.


    "Let''s move." Arthur motioned for them to continue. They began pushing their legs through the snow, and soon they reached the entrance of the mountain.


    There was a sign that said the mountain was forbiddennd.


    Arthur pulled up his ck mask, covering his mouth and nose. It was an ordinary mask, nothing like White Online''s masks.


    The four men pulled up the hoods, covering their heads. Then, they followed Arthur and walked past the sign.


    Their speed declined gravely as they started climbing the steep hill.


    "Huff¡­ Huff¡­" Arthur started panting as exhaustion started building up. However, he continued climbing with great vigor.


    Soon, the end of the hill was near. The first one to reach the top was Xerxus, who had previous climbing experience.


    Once reaching the top, he inhaled the fresh air and opened his eyes wide. He could see the towering mountains and endless fields of snow. There was no end to the mountains, and it even made him hesitate whether they should continue.


    Soon after, Arthur reached the top with rough breathing. However, after standing next to Xerxus, his breathing started turning calmer.


    After him, Kalzer, Amour, and Isaac stepped on top of the hill at the same time. The sight was painful because there didn''t seem to be an end to the snow and mountains.


    The sky had turned bright with the yellowish wheel of fire hanging above.


    "L-Let''s rest here. I need to see something." Arthur dragged his feet behind him as he climbed on top of another smaller hill. In there, he knelt on the snow ground, slightly hiding behind a snowbank.


    The four men frowned but followed after him. They gathered around him, curiously looking over the snowbank, where they had a clear view of the mountain''s entrance.


    A few hourster.


    An erratic-looking man ran out of the snow forest, his forehead drenched in sweat.


    "Lunatic¡­" Arthur murmured and continued looking at the forest. Shortly afterward, close to ten hunters left the forest while disying rtively calm looks. They grimaced slightly after seeing the mountains but prepared to go there if needed.


    Lunatic turned to the mountain with a pale face, "D-Did they go there?"


    One of the hunters followed in their footsteps and grimaced after they went past the sign.


    "Leader, they entered the Mountain of Winter!"


    "Shit¡­" Their leader cursed under his breath but smiled after turning to look at Lunatic, "Sir, should we enter?"


    "Of course not!" Lunatic immediately screamed and looked at the leader like he was a fool.


    "O-Oh." The leader was stunned.


    .


    "Shit¡­" Lunatic bit his lip, "My father will be so angry. But¡­ they entered that wretchednd, and the chance of survival is extremely low¡­ but what if Secret Society is helping him?


    "No¡­ They never leave the mountain. I don''t have to worry. Arthur will get killed by them!"


    "Alright, I will call reinforcements!" Lunatic shouted and pulled out his phone. "We go to the other side of the mountain to intercept them if they miraculously escape the mountain. Our reinforcements will stay here and wait if they happen to return here!"


    The hunters nodded and waited as Lunatic made the call.


    After the call, they turned around and started making a return trip to White Paradise. From there, they would get vehicles and use them to travel to the other side of the mountain.


    Walking would take them a few weeks to reach that ce. There also was a chance of Arthur and the others reaching the other side faster than them!


    However, Lunatic was still confident that Secret Society wouldn''t let them leave!


    After they left.


    Arthur grinned slightly, "As expected."


    "Why won''t they enter this ce?" Xerxus asked while still whispering.


    "¡­" Arthur didn''t know the answer, "I am not sure."


    "Maybe because of the weather?" Amour suggested while looking around, "It could scare him off."


    "No, unlikely." Arthur shook his head, "Anyway, it doesn''t matter. Let''s continue. We have to find shelter before the weather turns colder!"


    The four men nodded, and they followed Arthur as he started to navigate through the snow-covered mountain with the help of hispass.


    After five hours of hiking up the mountain, they were exhausted.


    Also, thickyers of clouds started appearing in the sky. Soon after, snowkes began dropping, and with the cold wind, it wasn''t long before a snowstorm was upon them.


    Isaac''s eyes shone as he stared toward theyer of snow that assaulted their vision. While everyone else covered their faces while pushing forth, he continued walking silently with his eyes open.


    Then, he extended his hand towards the snow, and it looked like he was grabbing something. Almost instantly, the clouds began dispersing alongside the snow.


    Slowly, the snowstorm got steered away from its current location. The clouds slowly moved towards the forest where they came from.


    While Lunatic and the hunters had almost finished their journey, the snowstorm suddenly appeared on top of them, making the visibility extremely poor!


    "Where did this snowstorm suddenlye from?!" Lunatic screamed while trying to move forward, but the intense wind made it extremely difficult!


    Their journey''s length doubled because of the sudden snowstorm!


    "Whew¡­" Arthur removed the mask after the snowstorm disappeared. He inhaled the fresh air and patted Isaac''s shoulder, "Good job."


    Isaac nodded while taking pats from Kalzer, Xerxus, and Amour. They were all satisfied that there were people with them who could ease their current situation.


    Xerxus had his superspeed and was an incredibly valuable asset. However, during the climbing, he wasn''t that much of use. He could only take one passenger while moving at super speed. Any more, and he wouldn''t be able to protect them from whish.


    Also, after taking the first passenger to safety. The chance of him finding others would be incredibly unlikely.


    Thus, Isaac''s presence made everyone sigh in relief.

 Chapter 524 The Darkening

    Chapter 524 The Darkening


    Step, step, crunch.


    "Huff¡­ Huff¡­"


    The sky was darkening, and the grayish sphere appeared among the stars. Once again, the night had fallen.


    Arthur staggered into a pitch-dark cave, away from the endless snond. After finally taking steps on something else than heavy snow, he immediately copsed on the ground and touched the hard ground with his palm, feeling its sandpaper-like texture.


    Following him, the four men stepped into the cave, covered in snow. They spread around in the medium-length cave that was fifteen meters wide, ten meters long, and twenty meters high.


    They finished fifteen hour-long hike, and even though their level of endurance was crazy, they still started feeling a burning sensation around their thighs. If they continued even further, their lives could have been in danger.


    Isaac plopped down on the ground and picked up a bottle of water from his inventory. He gulped it down, and then he saw everyone else picking up their food and eating them greedily.


    After Arthur finished munching on the hard bread that he found in some random store in White Online, he pulled out his long-hilted and curvy-edged sword. The de ignited with scorching mes, heating the cave tremendously.


    Arthur tossed the sword into the middle of the cave, treating it like it was a campfire. Everyone stayed in their spots, slowly removing their pieces of clothing. The cave was suddenly bright and warm.


    Isaac removed his jacket and leaned against the rock wall, enjoying the heat that caressed his face.


    They stayed in thatfortable silence for several hours.


    Xerxus and Amour had some wild animals in their inventory. They cooked them up and split them into five portions. After that, they shared the food with everyone else.


    Most of them had only bread and some dried food. Thus, eating meat was the highlight of the entire journey so far.


    After Isaac finished his portion, he calmly observed the flickering mes. However, at that moment, he perked up his ears and turned towards the cave''s entrance.


    Crunch¡­


    The night sky made everything dark.


    However, Isaac''s honed senses could hear the distinct sound of snow getting stepped on. Crunch, crunch, and crunch.


    "Someone is here." Isaac''s words resounded in the silent cave. His hand touched the Silvercloud''s grip.


    His words caused a sense of tension in the cave.


    Arthur narrowed his eyes and moved closer to his ming sword.


    Xerxus, Amour, and Kalzer tried to listen to the sounds. However, their senses weren''t as good as Isaac''s. They could only hear the fire flickering and the distinct sound of wind swooshing.


    Then, a hooded figure stepped out of the darkness and appeared in the cave. Immediately the cave got engulfed in pressure.


    Arthur picked up his sword and released a tiny portion of his pressure. Still, even that tiny portion of pressure managed to quench the pressure the hooded figure gave.


    "This ce is Sacred Land. You have no ce in here." The hooded figure flicked his sleeves, and pair of daggers appeared in his hands. The des were curved like a dragon''s ws.


    Without further ado, he kicked the ground explosively and dashed forward. His speed wasn''t anything special, but the cave was small enough for him to arrive in front of the men within a second.


    Xerxus was about to run. But then, Isaac''s hand stopped him while shaking his head.


    .


    "?" Xerxus stopped in his tracks and frowned.


    Isaac took a quick step forward and appeared in front of the hooded figure, who looked startled at his sudden appearance.


    However, he quickly shrugged off his initial shock and shed with his daggers.


    But Isaac''s hands cut across the air and grabbed both hooded figures'' wrists, stopping his attack before it could begin properly.


    Isaac lifted his leg and drove his right foot deeply into his stomach.


    "Ugh!" The figure in the hood coughed up a mouthful of spit and came dangerously close to falling to his knees. Despite this, he was able to hold his unsteady body upright and attempted to wrench his hand free from Isaac''s unearthly grip.


    However, the hold was too strong. He could feel bruises forming around his wrist, and he knew that if the white-haired man grabbed any harder, they would break.


    "W-Who are you?" He asked in fright.


    Arthur and the others stared at the situation with a sense of wonder. They were now standing in a nonbative stance, having abandoned theirbat stances.


    "Shouldn''t you find out the strength of the person who you n to kill?" Isaac asked while smiling, "Making moves like this blindly will get you killed."


    "Hands off me, you vermin!" The hooded figure panicked, trying to kick Isaac. However, Isaac stopped his attack with a low kick to his shinbone.


    He gritted his teeth and almost uttered a groan of pain but bit his lip before he humiliated himself more.


    "Hands off me, or you will get killed by my nsmen!"


    "So, they know where you are?" Isaac asked with a gleam emanating from the corners of his eyes. He managed to cover his sly grin.


    "Yes, and if you don''t take your hands off, they will soon be here and will behead you!"


    "Well, since they know where you are¡­ you might as well be our guest for a while."


    "Eh?"


    Pow!


    Isaac released an urate jab that struck the hooded figure''s jaw. That fateful strike knocked him unconscious and made the hood slide off his head, revealing his pale face.


    The skin color was very white, almost blue even.


    "What are you doing?" Arthur asked as Isaac gently lowered the knocked-out man''s body till hey down on the rocky ground.


    "His nsmen wille to fetch him, and then they will lead us to their vige," Isaac said with the tiny curve of his lips.


    "What if they don''t?"


    "Well, if they don''t, he will." Isaac looked at the unconscious man with a mysterious smile, "This young fellow is afraid of death."


    Arthur pondered before nodding. He thought that Isaac''s n seemed to be the best course of action for now. They had been wandering in the mountains with the help of thepass, but they needed proper directions.


    "I didn''t think you could be this ruthless." Xerxus chuckled while sitting back on the rocky ground.


    "Ruthless?" Isaac nced at him with a tiny smirk, "I don''t think I am ruthless since I never nned to kill him. Unfortunately, the hardships in life make us do something we don''t wish to do. This instance is such."

 Chapter 525 Secret Village

    Chapter 525 Secret Vige


    The light shone upon Winter Mountain. The night passed, and it was time for another day.


    The glistering snow shone hundreds of kilometers as the towering mountains stretched towards the clouds.


    While most of the mountain was lifeless, there was a vige situated near the middle of the mountain, around a kilometer away from the ground.


    There was a t space that fit therge vige that housed close to a thousand vigers. Around the vige were the tops of therge mountains that extended towards the clouds. From the vige''s entrance, endless snow hills went further down the mountain.


    Step step, creak.


    A sleepy-looking viger who wore a modest-looking linen shirt stepped out of his room, looking like he had just woken up.


    After opening his groggy eyes, his foggy vision cleared up, and he saw the frost-covered windows. The weather was cold as always, but the house continued staying warm with the help of the firece that was zing.


    As the fire burned strong, the man stepped towards another door next to his room. Without knocking, he opened the door and said sleepily:


    ''''Brother, wake up¡­''''


    The time was nearing 6 o''clock in the morning, but it was the usual time when the vigers woke up to do their daily chores.


    After opening the door, he saw an empty room, the bed looking tidy like no one hadn''t used itst night.


    The frost covered the windows, and curtains hung from the side.


    He frowned and ran his hand over his hair. Once revealing his face, surprisingly, he looked exactly like the person who attacked Isaac and the co. He was the hooded figure''s twin brother, named Hallwell.


    ''''Mother, have you seen Kornwell?'''' He asked while peeking towards the kitchen where a thin-waisted woman cooked breakfast.


    ''''No, he isn''t there?'''' His mother stopped cooking and looked curiously towards the empty room. A slight worry began sprouting inside her heart.


    ''''Last night he went to patrol, but he should have been back by now.''''


    Hallwell''s face turned serious, and he immediately picked up his jacket. He left the house under the shouting of his mother. However, he shrugged those off and stomped straight towards the modest-looking building.


    The building seemed empty and dark.


    However, Hallwell''s face turned angrier as he saw that. He stopped before the door and knocked heavily on it.


    Knock, knock, knock!


    ''''ir, open up!''''


    Tap¡­ tap¡­ tap¡­


    Slow rhythmic footsteps echoed behind the door. Then, the door opened, and a cold-looking man rested his fatigued face against the door. His ears were pointy, and his body was well-toned with a chiseled jawline and broad shoulders.


    ''''Has my brother, Kornwell, returned from his patrol?'''' Hallwell asked in an anxious tone.


    ''''Ask from Guards,'''' ir replied coldly and smashed the door shut right in front of Hallwell''s nose.


    Hallwell looked stunned, but he didn''t know what was he expecting. ir was the infamous leader of the Dagger squad that patrolled the surrounding area and worked as hunters.


    He was infamous because of his cold and detached attitude. He rarely helped anyone from his squad and only cared about himself.


    The reason that he was the leader was that he was the only Chain Breaker in Dagger Squad.


    Hallwell shook his head and ran straight to the gates of the vige. In there, two warmly-dressed Guards stood proudly with their backs straight. Even though the vige barely had any visitors, they still took their duty seriously.


    ''''Enzo, Jacop!'''' Hallwell''s shout attracted the Guards'' attention, ''''Has my brother returned?!''''


    ''''Ah, I don''t think he has.'''' Enzo turned to look at Jacop, who also shook his head.


    Hallwell''s face changed shades, and he immediately turned around and returned to ir''s quarters.


    Bam, bam, bam!


    This time, he smashed his fist against the door.


    ''''ir, he hasn''te back! Something must have happened to him!''''


    ''''Then go search for him!'''' ir''s irritated voice came from his bedroom. He cuddled in the nket and closed his eyes. Soon, his calm snoring noises seeped through the windows.


    ''''Grr¡­'''' Hallwell gritted his teeth angrily and smashed his fist at the wooden door onest time. Then, he turned around and saw the members of Shield Squad walking in the streets. However, he didn''t ask for any help from them even though he was also part of that Squad.


    Members from Shield Squad stayed in the vige and never ventured away from the vige. Thus, his faithy on the shoulders of his brothers''rades. However, if even the leader didn''t help, who would?


    There was still a third squad, Sword Squad, and also the strongest squad. However, they weren''t fond of helping other squads.


    ''''Hallwell?'''' Then, three seventeen-year-old teenagers walked down the street. Two were pale-faced young men, while the third was a young woman with pointy ears like ir''s.


    ''''Oh, hi¡­'''' He said with a voice that sounded exhausted. His shoulders drooped, and he looked like he was carrying a boulder on his back.


    ''''Is something wrong?'''' The pointy-eared young woman asked.


    ''''M-My brother has gone missing,'''' Hallwell said while grimacing in pain.


    ''''Are you going to go search for him?'''' One of the young men asked, his eyes slightly sparkling.


    ''''Yes, I have no other choice.'''' Hallwell fixed the cor and looked towards the gates. He decided to go search by himself.


    ''''Can wee?!'''' The young man asked with excitement.


    ''''You are too young,'''' Hallwell said while shaking his head, even though he felt emotional that someone wanted to help.


    ''''But we are only a year away from the official age, and we also know how to track! Do you?'''' The pointy-eared woman pushed her chest forward, proudly stating.


    ''''Sigh, fine.'''' Hallwell nodded, and the three cheered loudly. Soon after, they left ir''s house and went straight to the entrance.


    The Guards, at first, didn''t want to grant them permission. However, Hallwell managed to turn their heads around, getting permission to leave the safety of the vige.


    After the gates swung open, they left the vige and started their journey with the help of a scrap of paper.


    The Guards gave them the paper, which had the notes of the usual route taken by patrol. They nned to move the same route, and if find any tracks, they would use them to find Kornwell.

 Chapter ?526 Society Leaders!

    Chapter ?526 Society Leaders!


    Inside the cave.


    ''''My head¡­'''' Kornwell muttered in obvious pain as he held his aching jaw. It felt like he got kicked in the jaw by a footballer.


    ''''Oh, he is awake.'''' Then, he heard a calming voice echoing across the granite walls.


    Arthur and the four men sat around the proper campfire built with sticks. The fire burned intensely, and a delicious meat scent wafted towards Kornwell''s nose.


    This time, Arthur kept his ming sword hidden. The previous experience proved that he shouldn''t let his guard down, even if their location seemed secure.


    Kornwell''s eyes mmed open, and he saw the five strong-looking guys; their shadows stretched across the granite walls, making them look taller in his eyes.


    He immediately moved his hands across his waist. Then, he realized that both his sheaths and daggers were gone.


    ''''What do you want?'''' Kornwell asked after gulping dryly. A fear started sprouting in his heart as he remembered the scene before he fell unconscious. The dread he felt when looking at the average-looking man resurfaced.


    ''''We want to talk to your nsmen, that''s all.'''' This time, Arthur took the role of negotiator. He, after all, had the most experience dealing with people like Kornwell, who seemed too arrogant for their own good.


    ''''Hah, they will kill you!'''' Kornwell acted tough whileughing mockingly. However, the cold sweat that dripped down his face revealed his thoughts.


    ''''Unlikely.'''' Arthur picked up the meat from the campfire and took arge bite. The rest of the men took their own portions.


    Isaac cut a tiny piece of the rabbit and threw it over to Kornwell.


    Kornwell watched as the piece of meat bounced on the rocky ground andnded right in front of his fingertips. He gulped hungrily and hesitantly grabbed it.


    Without a second thought, he threw it inside his mouth, chewing greedily.


    They ate in silence for the next ten minutes.


    After that, Kornwell noticed that he wasn''t chained or anything. He looked towards the cave''s exit and thought about running away.


    However, he felt like he wouldn''t be able to escape. There was a lingering feeling that he wouldn''t even make it outside.


    Xerxus wiped his lips while boringly looking at Kornwell. He wouldn''t mind if he ran away; at least he would get a little bit of exercise. With him here, it would be impossible for any Non-Chain Breaker to escape.


    ''''You are Demi-God, aren''t you.'''' Kornwell turned towards Isaac and asked.


    ''''Demi-God?'''' Isaac frowned and looked at Arthur, who also looked confused.


    ''''Yes¡­'''' Kornwell scratched his index finger and continued, ''''Your speed, and strength¡­ I have only seen that kind of power from the Three Leaders.''''


    ''''Three Leaders?'''' His words attracted Arthur''s attention.


    ''He must mean Chain Breakers¡­'' Isaac thought to himself.


    ''''Just a heads up, but even if you are Demi-God, you can''t defeat my leader, ir!'''' Kornwell held his chest with a confident expression, ''''He is one of the three leaders of the three factions and work directly under the Society Leader!''''


    ''''Society Leader?'''' Arthur scratched his cheek.


    Kornwell''s eyes shook, and he immediately covered his mouth. His face turned slightly crimson as he held his breath because of his blunder.


    .


    ''''Continue, what is this Society Leader?'''' Arthur added more pressure to his words, and even the walls started trembling.


    ''''Quiet, he is someone way above us, almost like a God!'''' Kornwell snapped and shouted with a fervent gaze.


    ''''I guess that Section Leader is weakling because someone like you has to protect him,'''' Arthur said with a mocking grin.


    ''''I am not protecting them!'''' Kornwell growled like a wild animal, ''''Even one Society Leader is enough to wipe you all out, but there are four of them!''''


    ''''Imagine, four!'''' He showed four fingers and boasted loudly, ''''How can you evenpare yourself to them?!''''


    ''''While you can''t even beat ir, who is miles weaker than Society Leader! And, then, there is someone above Society Leaders!''''


    Kornwell''s breathing turned slower as he looked out of the cave towards the enormous mountains. His eyes turned calm, and only his breathing echoed across the granite walls.


    ''''He is called The Man At Peak, the ruler of these mountains. No one knows his real name, not even Society Leaders. But, he is said to have walked on earth for nearly three hundred years!''''


    ''''Now, do you understand how insignificant you are?!'''' Kornwell whipped his head around and shouted. But then, he saw Arthur and the rest smiling calmly and immediately realized what he had just done.


    He revealed everything out of anger!


    ''''Damn it!'''' Kornwell held his face and yanked his head backward. The back of his skull struck the rocky wall, and his skin slightly ruptured, making blood flow down his hair.


    That woke him up from his disoriented state.


    ''''Well, I am curious how strong they truly are.'''' Arthur said calmly while crossing his legs, smiling without worry, ''This must be why the Souldeath family doesn''t dare toe here. They must be enemies.''


    ''To think that the rumored Secret Society was this close to White Paradise¡­''


    A few hourster.


    The wind drifted across the mountain, lifting the snow from the ground. The sky was light blue, and the white clouds obscured the sight of the sun.


    ''''Kornwell!''''


    Then, a single voice traversed across the air.


    Inside the cave, everyone perked up their ears and looked out of the cave.


    The footsteps started bing louder.


    ''''Brother!'''' Kornwell recognized the voice and screamed with ecstasy. As the footsteps turned rapid, he expected to see the whole battalion of vigersing to rescue him.


    However, once the footsteps entered the cave. His hopeful gaze crumbled as he only saw his brother alongside three Apprentices.


    ''''Kornwell!'''' Hallwell screamed in excitement as he saw his brother alive. However, he then saw the bloodied hair, and his face turned ashen.


    He angrily turned towards the five men, who slowly stood up from the ground.


    ''''How dare you?!'''' Hallwell lunged forwards and pulled out an axe from his back. The de shed through the wind and air.


    ''''No, brother!'''' Kornwell tried to stop his brother from killing himself.


    The two young men and one young woman pulled out their bows and arrows. They readied them and prepared to shoot.

 Chapter 527 Sword, Shield, and Dagger

    Chapter 527 Sword, Shield, and Dagger


    ng!


    Amour grabbed his two-handed axe and blocked Hallwell''s strike. When the two des touched, sparks flew everywhere.


    "Argh!" Hallwell felt his bones rattling. It felt like he was trying to sh through a mountain.


    "Please, brother, stop!" Kornwell stood up to his feet, but Xerxus appeared next to him, pushing him down from his shoulder.


    The trio waiting at the entrance released their arrows.


    Swoosh!


    The arrows swooshed across the air and went over Hallwell and Amour. They started descending and flew straight to Arthur!


    Swing!


    Arthur pulled out his ming sword from the inventory and shed horizontally across the air. The de cut through the arrows, and the mes burned them to ash.


    "W-What is that?" The pointy-eared woman asked with a trembling tone, "F-ming sword?"


    The two young men gulped and hesitantly grabbed another arrow.


    "Sigh¡­" Xerxus loosened his right fist and moved across the cave before anyone even had time to blink. He appeared behind the three apprentices and smashed the base of his palm at their napes.


    The three apprentices fell limply on the ground, unconscious.


    "No!" Hallwell screamed as he saw them falling down slowly to the ground. He felt immense regret and thought that he should havee alone.


    Amour increased the grip, and his muscles suddenly ergened. Then, he pushed the axe slightly forward, but that alone was a strong enough attack to knock Hallwell off his feet.


    "Ahhhh!" Hallwell flew across the air and crashed to the rocky ground on his back. Then, he gritted his teeth and tried to stand up.


    However, Xerxus''s foot descended from above him andnded right on his chest, forcing him back down.


    "No¡­" He looked at his crying brother, who was held down by the average-looking man.


    "No, brother!" Kornwell''s tears were a mix of snot and mucus.


    "Calm down." Arthur said and slowly walked towards Hallwell, kneeling before him, "Your name."


    "E-Eh?" Hallwell looked at the handsome man with a defeated expression. He was already resigned to his fate, with countless regrets riddling his mind. He thought about his mother, who might lose both sons today.


    "Name," Arthur repeated.


    "H-Hallwell¡­"


    ''''Well then, Hallwell.'''' Arthur patted his shoulder and looked straight in the eye, "Take us to your vige, and you, your brother, will survive."


    "Eh?" Hallwell looked at him shockingly and at his brother. There was a mix of emotions.


    First, his loyalty to his vige had never wavered before. But then, he remembered ir and thought about why was he so loyal? They weren''t ready to protect them when they needed help.


    Why should he protect them?


    "A-Alright¡­" Hallwell nodded slowly, tears brimming in his eyes, "I-I will take you there."


    "B-Brother!" Kornwell screamed in shock. He never expected his brother to betray the vige!


    "Good." Arthur smiled and nced at Isaac, who casually leaned against the wall, ''He knew this would happen¡­ how?''


    Xerxus removed his feet from Hallwell''s chest and picked up the three unconscious youths. He then carried them on his shoulders and walked out of the cave.


    "Well then, let''s go." Arthur grabbed Hallwell''s hand and pulled him up.


    Isaac looked at Kornwell, motioning for him to stand up.


    "Ugh¡­" Kornwell held his painful chest while standing up with the help of the wall. Then, he staggered towards Hallwell and hugged him.


    "You fool¡­" Hallwell bit his lips while releasing his tears.


    "Sorry¡­" Kornwell wiped his tear-stained face and asked, "W-Why did you betray the vige?"


    "J-Just trust me¡­" Hallwell said and separated from the hug. Then, he took several breaths before leaving the cave. He began showing the way to the vige.


    Kalzer, Amour, and Isaac walked behind Kornwell and left the cave. Then, they followed Xerxus, who didn''t seem even slightly exhausted even though he carried three adolescent-sized people.


    Then, a few hourster, they saw the wooden gates of the vige.


    The walls were a mix of wood and granite rock. They were ten meters in height with wooden spikes on top. There was even a foothold if there was an attack; the archers could go there to give support with their deadly arrows.


    Ring, ring, ring!


    The bells reverberated across the vige, immediately sending a wave of panic through the vige.


    Smash!


    "What is it now?!" ir smashed his door open and saw everyone running out of their buildings, going straight towards the gates.


    "Tsk." He took his armor from the hanger and put it clumsily on. His sheathes hang from the sides of his waists, and the daggers slipped into them. Then, he pulled up his mask, covering half of his face.


    He left his house and ran towards the gates. While doing so, he noticed the leader of Sword and Shield appearing while fully clothed in their armor.


    The leader of Sword was a person called Branton. He had long legs and a long scar that went over his face. With hisnky build, he didn''t look that impressive.


    The leader of Shield was a beautiful woman with pale blue skin and cold eyes. As the light shone upon her, it looked like she was the reincarnation of the Warrior Goddess.


    Her name is Alessia, the proud leader of the Shield.


    They pushed past the crowd of soldiers and stopped outside the gates. Shortlyter, ir appeared next to them and coldly looked towards Hallwell who held his head low.


    The vigers behind them murmured, wondering who they were. But they knew that Hallwell didn''t take them here out of the goodness of his heart. They were certain that they threatened him!


    As they saw three of their apprentices knocked out, a wave of anger started spreading across them. Then, a few sighed in relief after seeing Kornwell alive; along with them was his mother, who looked frightened after seeing both of his sons captured.


    "Who are you, and what is your business with us?" Branton asked with a cold tone. His left hand touched the hilt of his long-ded sword.


    "My name is Arthur. Nice to meet you all." Arthur put his hand on his chest and slowly lowered his head. His gentlemanly behavior surprised many.


    "Hallwell, Kornwell, are you alright?" Branton asked, and saw them nodding even though they averted their gazes. They were embarrassed that they had led their enemies to their front steps.


    "Hallwell, you useless bastard!" ir shouted, unsheathed his daggers out of nowhere, "You led them here?! You should have died instead. Don''t you have any shame?"


    "ir!" Branton frowned.


    Alessia''s expression didn''t change, still looking ice-cold.


    "Shut up¡­" Hallwell muttered with audible sound, but it was heard by Arthur.


    ''Internal dispute?'' Arthur frowned, ''That''s not good.''


    "What did you say?!" ir flew into a rage as his incredible senses caught his words.


    Halliwell''s face changed shades, ''He heard me?!''


    ir lunged forwards even though Branton tried to stop him. He ran down the hill and aimed his strike at Hallwell''s neck!


    nk!


    Then, an axe''s silver de shone as Amour appeared before him, holding his head high.


    "Easy now¡­" Amour protected Hallwell from ir with a cold look shing over his cat-like features, "You see, I really like sleeping, and when I don''t get my fifteen-hour sleep, I be very grumpy."

 Chapter ?528 Amours Strength

    Chapter ?528 Amour''s Strength


    "Get out of my way, weakling!" ir whirled the daggers around and shed towards Amour''s unguarded neck.


    "¡­" Amour held the axe with one hand and deflected the dagger with the side of its de. However, ir also had his second dagger ready to reap his life.


    The second dagger flew over the axe and went straight to Amour''s face.


    Amour''s left hand shredded across the air and appeared in front of the second dagger. Then, he clenched the left hand till it was a fist and struck the dagger with the base of his fist.


    The second dagger got parried away.


    However, ir''s face didn''t show even a split change in emotions. Instead, he held the first dagger in a firmer grip and shed diagonally at Amour''s wrist.


    Amour changed his grip and smashed the axe at the iing dagger, deflecting it away. ir''s posture crumbled slightly, forcing him to jump back to gain some distance.


    However, Amour followed him and hacked the axe down at him.


    ir frowned and jumped out of the way.


    BOOM!


    The axe cut through the ground like he was shredding paper. Then, Amour grabbed it with both hands and swung it around him before throwing it over to ir.


    ir''s eyes shook, and he lowered his center of gravity, barely ducked under the axe.


    The axe continued cutting through the air before making a U-turn and returning to Amour''s hand.


    Amour lifted from the ground, soaring across the air like a majestic eagle. Then, he moved the axe over his head and hacked it towards ir''s ashen figure.


    ir hesitated for a moment and felt immense pressure engulfing him. As he witnessed the axe descending toward him, he felt like Amour outssed him in every way. The shadow of Amour loomed over him, and the wind continued getting cut by the axe''s de.


    "Enough!" Branton shouted from the direction of the gate. His eyes shook as he witnessed the axe''s descent.


    Amour coldly gazed at ir''s ashen face. He had totally given up the fight and prepared to die.


    However, the axe''s velocity dropped instantly, and the de rested on ir''s neck, only an inch away from beheading him.


    "¡­" Amour turned his head away and lifted the axe till it rested on his shoulder.


    ir slowly fell, his buttocks touching the cold snow. The wind calmed down, and all sound turned mute.


    It felt like he was living alone in the cold world, void of any emotion. ir continued blinking while watching the snow dropping and piling on the ground.


    After arriving next to Arthur, Amour stopped walking and nced at ir, "Did I break him?"


    Branton skipped over and nced at ir''s ashen-colored face. No one knew what he was thinking.


    "Now, why have youe here?" Branton asked Arthur. Now, he understood that perhaps they didn''te with ill intentions. The axe-wielding man could have killed ir and taken out one of their strongest fighters.


    However, he spared him.


    Amour''s strength sent a chill across everyone''s spine, especially vigers. They just saw one of their leaders getting beaten up in seconds.


    "To rest for a few days, and then we will leave," Arthur replied honestly.


    Branton looked at him silently and sighed, "The decision doesn''ty on my shoulders. There is someone above us who makes the decisions."


    "The Society Leader?" Arthur sent a guess with a tiny smile.


    Branton nced at Kornwell, who immediately averted his gaze. He sighed deeply because their existence had always stayed secret. Now, even their Society Leaders were exposed, but it wasn''t the first time.


    "Let''s talk in the vige," Branton said, and helped ir up, who could barely stand; his legs were like jelly.


    However, it wasn''t difficult for Branton to carry him with his single arm.


    Arthur and the rest followed after him. The guards allowed them to step inside the vige while Alessia took ir from Branton''s arms and took him to the vige doctor.


    Kornwell and Hallwell walked to their mothers and got immediately shouted at. They only kept their heads lowered and counted the number of snowkes on the ground till their mother had enough of yelling.


    After the shouting, they got buried in their mother''s hug and could feel her tears trailing down their shoulders.


    Arthur and the rest walked to Vige Hall. It was a three-story building with a banquet hall.


    They entered the banquet hall decorated with animal hide and skulls.


    A long table stretched across the banquet hall that could fit over a hundred vigers. They got seated around it, close enough to each other so that no one had to shout.


    However, the main seat was left empty.


    Branton and Alessia sat on the other side while Arthur and the rest were on another side.


    The vigers gathered in the banquet hall, curiously listening.


    The sunlight seeped through the frozen windows, lighting the ce up.


    Finally, the snow-white clouds started dispersing, revealing the yellow wheel of fire and ice-blue sky.


    "Now, may I get your name." Branton looked at Arthur. In his heart, he already decided him as the leader of the group of men. He seemed to have the most presence around him, while others stayed rtively quiet.


    ''''Arthur Welhenheim, at your service.'''' Arthur revealed his name with a smiling expression.


    .


    ''''Arthur Welhenheim¡­'''' Branton murmured and thought that it sounded familiar. While ying White Online, he was almost sure that he had heard that name on several asions. However, wasn''t exactly sure who he was.


    Alessia''s eyes shone brightly as she looked at Arthur. That name brought pleasant memories in her heart, and she wondered whether he was a descendant of that person¡­


    "The reason for your visit is that you wish to rest here before continuing your journey. Am I correct?" Branton asked.


    Arthur nodded, "Yes, as you must know, to cross the mountain is very demanding physically and mentally. We wish to rest and gather our energy before our final push."


    "Why didn''t you go around the mountain?"


    "Well¡­" Arthur let out a strained chuckle, "Fate is a strange thing.''''


    Tap, tap, tap.


    Branton rapped his index finger against the oak table. Everyone calmly waited for his following words while the sound of tapping entered and left their ears.


    "As I said, the decision doesn''ty in my hands." Branton then motioned for one of the vigers with hand signals, "However, we can inform the one who makes the decisions. Once he arrives, he will decide."


    "Fine by me," Arthur said with a smile.

 Chapter 529 Ridiculous Legacy

    Chapter 529 Ridiculous Legacy


    One of the vigers stepped out of the vige hall and put two fingers in his mouth before whistling loudly.


    The whistle echoed across the air, and several ravens started pping their wings. They leaped off the roofs and started flying towards the source of the whistle.


    The viger received a written letter from Branton before leaving the vige hall. He held it in a gentle grip and soon saw several ck ravens appearing in the sky.


    They quickly descended and flew around the viger beforending on the snowy ground.


    The viger knelt on the ground and took one of the ravens into his palm. Then, he tied the letter into its leg.


    After that, he patted the raven''s feathers, and it started pping its wings before leaping towards the light blue sky.


    The vige turned silent as the ck raven disappeared into the horizon. Everyone held their breaths as the clock continued ticking clockwise.


    Branton and Alessia slightly fixed up their armors. They left their houses in a hurry and couldn''t take a proper look in the mirror. Now, the legendary Society Leader of Winter Mountain wasing!


    Arthur rested his chin on his palm and rhythmically tapped his feet against the floor, "This is interesting."


    Kalzer daydreamed while looking towards empty air. Since entering the mountain, he only spoke a few words while not participating in any fighting.


    Amour cleaned the de of his axe. The scene worried the vigers while shes of images appeared in their minds. They still remembered vividly how ir lost.


    Xerxus leaned against the chair''s backrest while humming a merry tone. He seemed rxed.


    Isaac took a spray can from his inventory and took a second look at the Silvercloud. The ck color started peeling off, and the beautiful silvery hue peeked through.


    Szzzzz!


    He pressed the spray can and re-colored the gun in ck.


    ''God damn it!'' Silvercloud screamed inside his mind.


    ''Hehe.'' Silverniumughed.


    After half an hour.


    The vigers stationed outside the vige hall heard a sound traveling from the sky. Their eyes shone in brilliant hue as they turned towards the horizon. From there, they saw a scene that they wouldn''t forget in a million years.


    From the horizon, ten flying reindeer appeared while pulling a sleigh!


    The reindeer seemed to be galloping on top of clouds while pulling the sleigh behind them. The weird thing was that the heavy sleigh looked quite light when looking far.


    "Hahahaha¡­" An calmingughter drifted across the air, causing the vigers to flush in excitement.


    Ring!


    The bells rang in the vige, weing the Society Leader in style.


    Slowly, the herd of reindeer stepped onto the cold ground, and the sleigh followed, gentlynding on the ground.


    The sleigh stopped in front of the vige hall''s door; the vigers saw the person sitting in the sleigh and immediately stepped to the side, allowing the Society Leader to enter the building.


    Inside the hall, Branton and Alessia stood up and bowed towards the doors. After that, every vige inside the building turned towards the doors and knelt.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    A round-bellied man stepped into the hall. He wore all-red clothes while a fluffy white beard adorned his face. At first nce, he looked like a gentle grandpa.


    "Hohohoho, we have guests." He caressed his beard while looking at Arthur and the rest. A small smile was seen underneath the beard, and the building''s atmosphere turned peaceful.


    All tension disappeared in a sh.


    [Name: Christian Winter]


    [Legacy: Santa us]


    [Legacy Rank: Mythical]


    "Nice to meet you; my name is Arthur Welhenheim." Arthur stood up from the chair and bowed out of courtesy. After decades of experience, he had learned to mask his expressions and emotions. However, now he couldn''t.


    ''He has a legacy of Santa us?! That old geezer actually chose someone?!''


    Isaac''s mouth twitched while trying to stop hisughter, ''What the hell¡­ Pfft.''


    Xerxus and Amour covered their mouths with their hands. Behind their hands, a small smile peeked.


    Kalzer bit his lip while acting like he was looking out of the frost-covered windows.


    "Sir!" Branton and Alessia straightened their backs with proud looks.


    "Sit, sit," Christian said while taking a seat in the main seat. After he sat, Branton and Alessia sat down.


    The vigers poured inside the building and got seated at the enormous table.


    Even Kornwell and Hallwell, with their mother, arrived.


    The three apprentices that got knocked out by Xerxus were taken to the vige doctor by them, and after that, they came here.


    "Now, the letter mentioned that you five want to rest here before continuing your journey?" Christian patted hisrge belly while asking.


    "Yes, sir." Arthur nodded, keeping a calm facade, "We would be here only a few days and then leave."


    "Are you chased by someone?" Christian''s voice entered his ears. The vigers widened their eyes in surprise and held their breaths.


    Arthur sadly sighed and nodded, "Unfortunately, we are."


    "Unfortunately? Hmm¡­" Christian rubbed his long beard, "By whom?"


    "A person named Lunatic Souldeath." Arthur immediately saw the vigers having a change in their expressions. They looked startled before bing angry.


    "Souldeath¡­ those bastards."


    "They are still hanging around these parts?"


    "I thought our Society Leaders gave them a lesson they would never forget."


    "What was that old geezer''s name¡­"


    "Lord¡­ Lord Souldeath, that bastard came here saying that he wanted us to join his army¡­ how dare they think he could use us as his ves?!"


    "Right, they even insulted our dear King!"


    "Heh, I still remembered their faces when our Society Leaders appeared. Their jaws dropped to the ground!"


    The vigers turned into heated discussions.


    "Silence!" Branton''s powerful voice silenced everyone. Then, he turned to Christian and bowed.


    Christian sighed and rubbed his beard, "That name is not a pleasant memory, indeed¡­"


    "Yes, they are very unreasonable people." Arthur nodded as he agreed.


    "Alright." Christian made his decision, "Mountain of Winter is in my control. However, there is someone even above me. He is called The Man At Peak, and I don''t know how he reacts to having guests¡­"


    Arthur opened his mouth, trying to change his mind.


    However, Christian waved his hand and said, "However, we haven''t seen him in a decade, so I approve of your stay. Within a week, you five must be gone from here."


    "Thank you!" Arthur heaved a sigh of relief, but then one word caught his attention, "In a decade? Right¡­ I heard The Man At Peak was over three hundred years old; how is that possible?"


    .


    "He is Chain Breaker, right?" Amour suddenly quipped.


    "Chain Breaker¡­" Christian shook his head, "No¡­ He isn''t Chain Breaker."


    The faces of the five varied. They all looked shocked while Arthur''s eyes rippled like he couldn''t believe it.


    "Instead, he is a person at equal standing to those legendary Legacy Figures. The Man At Peak is also a Legacy Figure!"


    "How is that possible?!" Arthur jumped to his feet, "I-I thought all the Legacy Figures were dead and was found in Underworld, thus being able to reincarnate. However, all of them should have been gone from this world."


    "You seem to know a lot¡­" Christian''s look turned mysterious as he looked at Arthur, "I am not sure about reincarnation, etc. But this world isn''tpletely weak. While most of the current Legacy Figures got their immense power from World of White, there are people here who could rival them!"


    "Please, I need to know who he is." Arthur''s voice shook as he seemed to be panicking!


    The four men looked surprised to see the calm Arthur acting like this.


    "I am sorry, but even I don''t know his true name." Christian said with a sorry smile, "All I know is that he lives on top of all the mountains, in the ce where all mountains get connected."


    "At the top of the mountainside, there is Ice Castle, which is his home. If you want to find him, go there. But, I am warning you, he doesn''t like outsiders."

    The meeting ended, and everyone dispersed.


    The vigers returned to their humble abodes as the sky turned darker. The lighting from the wooden buildings shone over the vige, and it was like a shining beacon in the darkness.


    Without the mountains surrounding the vige, the light would reach the eyes of everyone within a hundred-kilometer radius.


    Arthur and the rest gathered in their temporary residence. It was a hundred meters away from Vige Hall, and it was rtively cozy.


    The firece burned strongly and kept them warm while they could finally cook proper meals.


    Creak, creak.


    Arthur sat in a creaking chair that let out long agonizing sounds. With his hand touching his chin, he looked to be in a thoughtful state.


    The four men sat around the well-carved wooden table while keeping their lips tightly shut.


    After some time, Xerxus opened his mouth, ''''Arthur, what should we do?''''


    These were the first words uttered in this temporary residence, and Xerxus finally broke the silence.


    Arthur trailed his finger on the armrest while gazing at the cracks on the floor, ''''We must visit the ice castle.''''


    ''''Shouldn''t our priority be leaving this wretched mountain?'''' Amour asked while the snowstorm raged outside the windows.


    Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!


    The wind was never-ending as it blew strongly across the window''s thin ss.


    ''''That''s right, going up the mountain is dangerous.'''' Xerxus agreed with Amour. ording to Christian, they would be able to reach the end of the mountain in a couple of hours if they walked at their normal speed.


    ''''Perhaps¡­'''' Arthur still gazed towards the sky-piercing mountains, his gaze longing, ''''But, I must meet that person. For humanity, he could be an incredible asset to have.''''


    ''''Should we risk our lives for him?'''' Xerxus asked while desiring to leave this dangerous mountain, ''''If we leave tomorrow, we might be able to leave the mountain before Souldeath''s reach that ce. Thus, we couldpletely avoid that fight!''''


    ''''That''s a good point¡­'''' Arthur caressed his chin but still shook his head, ''''I am sorry, but you four can wait here. I will go there by myself.''''


    Isaac sat with his arms crossed and eyes shut.


    Kalzer daydreamed while gazing at nothingness.


    ''''No.'''' Amour immediately rejected that, ''''If you die, everything would have been meaningless.''''


    ''''Doing this is already an extreme request.'''' Arthur sighed, ''''All of you have your lives with loving families. If anything happened to you four, I wouldn''t be able to live through it.


    ''''Asking for another dangerous request is not what I wish. However, there is a lot at stake, something you four can''t fathom.''''


    ''''Haahhh¡­'''' Xerxus heaved a sigh of resignation, ''''Fine, we areing with you. But, this better be worth it.''''


    ''''¡­'''' Arthur looked out of the windows, aplex look shing across his eyes, ''Futile or worth it¡­ visiting that ce is a necessity.''


    ''''Excuse me.'''' Isaac uncrossed his arms and looked at Arthur''s bluish eyes, ''''What is Underworld?''''


    ''''Heh, nothing can go past your ears.'''' Arthur chuckled with a wry smile, ''''I can tell you. But, are you four prepared to hear something that will change your view of the world?''''


    ''''Can it be more world-changing than White Online being real?'''' Xerxus''s lips curved upward as he asked.


    ''''Depends how you take the news.'''' Arthur''s words surprised everyone and caused the room to fall into a heavy silence.


    Crackle¡­


    The fire crackled and brightened the darkening room. The moonlight seeped through the windows, and the snowstorm slowed down.


    It felt like the whole world had turned silent.


    Arthur dug deeper into his fragments of memories as he began telling the tale:


    ''''Since the Dawn of Time, God created Humans to be his perfect image. However, that failed spectacrly, and the first human, Adam, suffered a great disease that riddled him for decades.


    ''''That was an eye-opener for God, and in the end, he put chains of limitations into every living being. Thus, they were unable to surpass the gods.


    ''''However, there were humans that wandered on the that went past the so-called limitation. However, there were still chains that held them back, making them unable to surpass God.


    ''''They died, and more humans appeared. After millions of years, there were only around a thousand truly incredible specimens that could be called Legends.


    ''''Those so-called Legends ended up dead because they couldn''t break free from the chains of mortality. They died and appeared in the Underworld, the ce of damnation and punishment.


    ''''All of them got judged there, and there were good and evil Legends.


    ''''The evil Legends got sent to Tartarus to suffer for all eternity. While the Legends that tread the path of gray, not doing good nor evil deeds, got sent to Asphodel Meadows.


    ''''And then, the good Legends got the golden ticket to Elysium, the Paradise. There, they lived luxurious lives.


    ''''Then, the Gods discovered something horrible that will happen in the future. The Fates predicted the doomsday, and they had to start preparing for it.


    ''''The Primordial God of Life, Gaia, suggested resurrecting the Legends of Humanity and giving them another chance in life. That was to provide them with a higher chance in their uing battle.


    ''''The evil legends from Tartarus enjoyed their new freedom. The gray legends from Asphodel Meadows decided to tread on a better path. And then, the good legends from Elysium¡­ became vengeful after their luxurious life got taken from them.


    ''''After living the path of good, many fell to dark side¡­


    ''''The day of the resurrection was when the bnce was broken the first time. That was like a beacon for the doomsday bringers, and now they knew the existence of another civilization in the Milky Way Gxy.


    ''''That elerated their doom. However, they knew that the Legendary Figures would be a valuable asset. However, after hundred years, they despaired.


    ''''They thought that the Legendary Figures didn''t have their chains anymore after dying and resurrecting in World of White. However, the dead can''t trulye back.


    ''''The resurrection took a valuable thing away from them. They couldn''t surpass Gods; while the ceiling was higher, the wall was even sturdier.


    ''''When some of them reached the strength of Gods, they realized that going above that was impossible.


    ''''Thus, all the Gods gathered in a meeting to decide the fate of the Legends.


    ''''In the end, it was again Primordial God Gaia who had thest word. They decided to ask for help from another world, the World of Four Seasons.


    ''''They asked help from one seemingly ordinary youth who hadn''t seen the world. That youth had the responsibility to build a pathway that connects the two worlds, and the humans that crossed the border between the worlds would be the hope of all.


    ''''The Legends became Legacy Figures and were forced to share their powers with someone else. Of course, many rebelled against that decision. In the end, they couldn''t change the minds of the Gods.


    ''''Many felt resentful, some didn''t care, and few weed the yers with open hands.


    ''''This was the story of Legends and the secret behind Legacies.''''

 Chapter 531 Aether Welhenheim

    Chapter 531 Aether Welhenheim


    The building was silent.


    A shadow covered Isaac''s face as he opened and closed his mouth. He struggled to speak as the story registered in his mind.


    Arthur leaned on the chair while silently gazing at the stars.


    Xerxus, Amour, and Kalzer didn''t know what to say. They were thinking to themselves while wondering how they should respond with.


    Since the announcement, everyone has treated NPCs as real humans. However, everyone still treated Legacy Figures as creations of Arthur and Legacy Company.


    None of them were crazy enough to believe that humans that died in their world could get resurrected. That was ludicrous, but now, all of their wild fantasies were true.


    While Xerxus, Amour, and Kalzer had Godly Legacy Figures, Isaac didn''t. Thus, the biggest shock was on him.


    These three men looked at thoughtful Isaac and opened their mouths. However, it felt like arge lump blocked their throats, making them unable to utter any words.


    ''Simo¡­'' Isaac thought with eyes closed, ''Good, gray, and evil Legends¡­ I know what he is.''


    ''Around 80 years ago, two countries fought. There was a small country with a seemingly zero percent chance of victory. Their opponent was a mighty country with a great army.''


    ''The oue seemed clear, and that small country didn''t seem to have any hope. But then, a small farmer appeared. He was smaller than his peers, had zero presence, and had a quiet personality.


    ''However, his skill with a gun was remarkable, something the world hadn''t seen before. That single farmer took down over five hundred enemy soldiers, survived aerial bombings, and shot to the face¡­''


    ''Then, he woke up in the hospital several weeks after getting shot in the face. Half of his face disfigured, but still fighting spirit burning strong. However, he found out that the war had ended, and their small country survived.


    ''Then, a few yearster, another war was upon their small country. That small farmer again grabbed his gun and was ready to storm into the battlefield. But, his superiors denied and didn''t allow the war hero to risk his life any longer.''


    ''That legendary farmer ended up living a long and healthy life, even outliving the mighty country that attacked them. Then, died out of old age in a nursing home.''


    ''While meeting you the first time, I honestly didn''t know who you were, and I wish I did.''


    ''I want to hear more stories from you¡­'' Isaac opened his eyes with a new glow.


    ''Even while being hailed as a hero, I am sure that he is a gray legend. Living his afterlife in dull Asphodel Meadows must have been painful.''


    ''Now, he chose his path, and I might know what it is.'' Isaac smiled peacefully.


    Everyone saw the smile on his face, and the tension eased up.


    Arthur smiled and stood up, ''''All of you, go rest. Tomorrow, we shall begin our journey to the ice castle.''''


    The four men nodded and retreated to their rooms.


    The rooms were small enough to fit a small bed, desk, and wardrobe. There wasn''t much room to move.


    Isaacy down on the small bed that was too small for him. His legs dangled over the bed, and the tips of his toes almost touched the carpeted floor.


    Swoosh, swoosh!


    The snowstorm returned with even stronger vigor. The strong wind breeze rattled the windows and silenced every noise.


    Isaac looked at the dark outdoors with a nonchnt expression. The storm made him remember a poem that he once read in school.


    ''''Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and driving o''er the fields. The whited air hides hills, woods, the rivers, and the heaven, veiling the farmhouse at the garden''s end¡­''''


    ¡­


    The following day.


    The snowstorm had gone by, and the yellow sunburned strong with light blue sky surrounding it amid fleeting clouds.


    Arthur and the rest stepped out of the vige under the watchful eyes of the vigers. Their destination didn''t seem to be the end of the hill. Instead, they moved up the mountains towards the towering top.


    Christian looked out of the frost-covered windows with a thoughtful look. He stood on Vige Hall''s third floor, which was a massive office. It belonged to him, and it was where he usually stayed when visiting the vige.


    Now, thoughts continued riddling his mind, which didn''t seem to end.


    Swoosh.


    The door opened swiftly behind him, and panting, Branton appeared while saluting, ''''You summoned me, sire?''''


    ''''Yes, please retrieve my VR Helmet from the sleigh. I need to enter that world to get some guidance from my master.''''


    ''''Yes, sire!'''' Branton shouted energetically and left the room. Soon afterward, he returned with the Mythical VR Helmet and ced it gently on the desk.


    He then saluted onest time and left the room to continue his duties as Sword Leader.


    Christian took the helmet into his arms and positioned it around his head.


    ''''I have so many questions, but only one can answer them. I have to meet my master.'''' He pressed the button on the side and turned limp as his consciousness entered a whirling pool.


    ¡­


    ''''Hah!'''' Christian opened his eyes with a m and felt warmth engulfing his body. He stood in the middle of arge wooden building with a warm atmosphere.


    A small pointy-hatted elf moved around him while carrying a box of items. They opened a door that allowed him to catch a glimpse of an enormous factory-like space.


    After the door closed, Christian woke up from his stupor.


    ''''Hohoho, Christian!'''' A voice echoed from the second floor, causing Christian to kneel with a humbled look.


    An identical-looking elderly man walked down the stairs while rubbing hisrge belly. He had an eternal grin that made him look gentle and approachable.


    ''''Santa us, I have several questions.'''' Christian raised his head and looked at his master, Santa us.


    ''''Yes, Christian?'''' Santa us pulled him up and patted his equally broad shoulder. While standing shoulder-to-shoulder, they looked like twin brothers.


    ''''Ever heard of Arthur Welhenheim?'''' Christian asked.


    ''''That name does indeed bring memories.'''' Santa us said while rubbing his fluffy white beard.


    ''''Who is he?''''


    Santa us looked at him and saw the strange glow in Christian''s eyes, ''''I see¡­ you are thinking of that person, aren''t you?''''


    ''''Yes, sir¡­'''' Christian replied with a sigh. None of his thoughts could escape his master''s watchful eye.


    ''''Well, your thoughts aren''t wrong.''''


    ''''You mean?!'''' Christian''s eyes widened like someone was pulling them apart.


    ''''Yes, he is indeed his son.''''


    ''''I-Impossible!''''


    ''''Is it?'''' Santa us showed an amused smile while twirling his beard.


    ''''It is impossible! That person is not human, but a god!'''' Christian held his chest and felt his beating heart that drummed against his chest.


    ''''Of course, it''s not possible with normal means. However, normal doesn''t apply to Gods.''''


    ''''Incredible¡­'''' Christian looked out of the frost-covered windows and saw the green skies, ''''Aether Welhenheim, also known as Primordial God of Light¡­ to think that he was his father.''''

 Chapter ?532 Jack Frost

    Chapter ?532 Jack Frost


    Arthur and the group reached an empty cavern near the mountain top. There were only a few hundred meters before they reached the front steps of the ice castle.


    The weather, luckily, stayed good during their journey. But now, they were far above the ground, and breathing was getting harder. Also, the air was immensely cold that could freeze an ordinary person within seconds.


    ''''What should we do when we arrive at the castle?'''' Xerxus asked while rubbing his legs, trying to keep them warm.


    ''''We most likely have to fight,'''' Amour said while trembling in the cold.


    ''''Arthur, I think you should stay behind.'''' Xerxus said while voicing his concerns, ''''Your level is below us by a great amount.''''


    ''''I know that I am not as strong as you four, but I am not useless.'''' Arthur said while looking at his hands that were bulging with veins, ''Inside my veins, immense power is flowing¡­''


    ''''Fine, but be careful.'''' Xerxus sighed after not being able to change his mind.


    ''''Alright, let''s go before we freeze to death,'''' Arthur said and was first to leave the cavern, soon followed by others.


    They climbed up the steep hill and soon saw the entrance of the ice castle.


    As the name suggested, ice engulfed the entire castle. The front gates were frozen solid and slightly transparent. They could see the inside of the castle, barely.


    They could see nothing except ice-covered furniture and long stairs that led to the second floor.


    Arthur stopped in front of the gates and put his palm on them. With a small amount of power, he fully opened the tall gates.


    They entered the castle while a cold wind blew past them. The ice castle looked abandoned as they couldn''t hear any voices.


    ''''Stay on your toes¡­'''' Arthur said and walked up the long stairs, followed by the four men.


    After entering the second floor, they spread around and checked all the rooms. They were all empty and covered in ice.


    They re-grouped in front of other stairs that led to the third and final floor. Following Arthur, everyone walked up the long and cold stairs.


    The handrails were sculptured and looked mesmerizing as the ice shone under the sunlight. The ceiling had windows that allowed plenty of light to enter the castle.


    Soon, they reached the third floor and saw a long corridor with ice-sculptured statues. The ceiling glistered in frozen ice.


    Arthur grabbed the hilt of his sword as he started moving. They slowly walked past the frozen statues and soon reached the end of the corridor.


    The end of the corridor hadrge ice doors.


    This time, Arthur kicked the doors open and drew his sword. After the doors mmed open, he kicked the floor explosively and jumped into the room.


    The sword cut through the air, and a ming sea appeared in the middle of the throne room. However, the ice didn''t melt as the scorching mes burned the floor.


    The four men grabbed their weapons and jumped into the room. They carefully checked around the throne room, but it was empty.


    ''''No one is here?'''' Amour frowned while holding his two-handed axe.


    Kalzer silently scanned the walls while holding Odin''s spear with a firm grip. First time since the start of the journey, he revealed the famed Gungnir, Odin''s weapon.


    .


    The Gungnir''s de was stone gray, and the shaft was pitch dark like forged by using ck dragon''s scales as material.


    Isaac held the Silvercloud with his right hand and used his perfect eyesight to look around the throne room. Even he came to the conclusion that the ice castle was empty. Maybe the so-called The Man At Peak didn''t even exist and was nothing but a fairy tale.


    Swoosh¡­


    However, the temperature suddenly increased, and the ice started growing thicker. Arthur and the rest dropped their gazes and saw their shoes frozen solid!


    ''''?!'''' Their eyes shook, and suddenlyughter echoed across the room.


    ''''Hehehehehe!''''


    They turned towards the source of theughter and saw a person sitting on the window frame next to the enormous square-shaped window. As the light shone on his face, his fragile blue-skinned face revealed an amused smile.


    The strands of his ice-blue hair looked icy.


    On his left hand, a cane made of ice increased the cold and density of the ice.


    ''''Wait, is he?!'''' Arthur immediately thought that he knew that person. He opened the interface and pulled out a book with different fairy tale creatures on the cover.


    ''''Why are you reading a book about fairy tales at this moment?!'''' Xerxus screamed while trying to run. However, the ice had already engulfed his legs and continued nearing his chest. At this rate, he feared they all would get cocooned by the ice!


    Arthur looked at his trembling ice that started turning blue. That frightened him, but he started quickly flipping through the pages.


    p, p, p!


    After fifty pages, he stopped with a surprised look.


    Then, he looked back and forth between the icy-haired young man and the page that showed a picture.


    ''''I-It''s really him!'''' He cried out in surprise and dropped the book to the ground.


    ''''Who is he?'''' Isaac asked while standing still, not even attempting to break the ice.


    ''''Jack Frost!'''' Arthur''s voice resounded in the room.


    ''''Hehehehe.'''' Jack Frost giggled with a childish expression, leaning against the window; he said, ''''Wow, this is the first time anyone recognized me.''''


    ''''Jack Frost?'''' Xerxus paled considerably, ''''That mischievous brat from a fairy tale where he was the bringer of ice and snow, but was also aplete pain in the ass?!''''


    ''''That''s him!'''' Arthur shouted while amazed. He thought he would never be able to see Legend in the flesh before death. Today, one of the rare Legends that still roamed the world stood before him.


    Jack Frost whirled the cane around, and the ice-covered globe shone in radiant blue. That caused the ice to stop spreading.


    Smack, smack!


    Amour smashed his axe against the ice without any fear. If the ice suddenly broke, he would also cut his legs. However, there wasn''t even a tiny speck of hesitation in his features.


    ''''Jack Frost, may we have a word?!'''' Arthur shouted, trying to attract the Legend''s attention.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Jack Frost stopped giggling and looked at Arthur with his ice-blue eyes, ''''Son of Primordial, what may you want from me?''''

 Chapter 533 Son of Primordial

    Chapter 533 Son of Primordial


    ''''Son¡­ of Primordial?'''' Arthur''s body trembled, and something inside his body woke. With trembling of his fingers, his palms started sweating while the hair strands on the back of his head stood up.


    The endless flows of power ran through his veins, pumping strength into his heart.


    Ba-dump, ba-dump!


    The heart thumped against his chest.


    Arthur covered his ears but still heard the heartbeat echoing in his ears.


    "What do you want?" Jack Frost asked while turning to look at the four men. They were nearly done breaking the ice., but after one wave of the ice cane, the ice returned and engulfed their legs.


    "Damn it!" Xerxus screamed with frustration.


    Amour''s expression didn''t change as he raised the axe and hacked it down at his feet.


    "Gungnir." Kalzer closed his eyes, and suddenly, Odin''s spear flew out of his grasp. With the stone-gray de as the attack''s edge, it flew straight toward Jack Frost.


    "Wait!" Arthur shouted, but it was toote. The Gungnir flew past him and shredded the air.


    Jack Frost raised the cane and whirled it around. The air suddenly froze and cocooned the Gungnir in ice.


    "Tsk!" Kalzer extended his hand, stretching towards the frozen Gungnir. However, his arm suddenly froze!


    "?!"


    "Enough, Kalzer!" Arthur''s voice caused silence to ur in the throne room. The four men stopped moving and frowned while looking at the icy-haired boy.


    "Hehehehe." Jack Frost giggled and rested the cane against his shoulder. With a few whistles, a puff of cold air left his lungs and froze the window.


    "Jack Frost, have you heard about White Online?"


    "White Online¡­ That doesn''t ring the bell." Jack Frost shrugged his shoulders and didn''t seem to know anything about it.


    ''Thought so.'' Arthur thought, ''But, what is this Son of Primordial he talked about?''


    "How long have you been in these mountains?"


    "Uhh¡­" Jack Frost pulled out his tongue and counted with his fingers. After opening both hands and showing ten fingers, he froze.


    "I am not sure¡­" He answered and clenched both hands, "I left the civilization after the humans made sure that they didn''t want me."


    ''He must have been here two hundred years¡­'' Arthur thought, and from the fairy tales, he knew that Jack Frost had disappeared after sinking into a frozenke.


    The children that yed with him were saddened and tried to look for him. But, then they joined their family''s Christmas, and shortly afterward, they forgot Jack Frost like he was nothing but a fleeting dream.


    The fairy tale didn''t have a happy ending, but it did give a valuable life lesson. They should cherish their time as a child because once they are older, they would forget all innocence that made them children.


    "Jack Frost. Would you like toe with us for a journey?" Arthur extended his hand, offering his hand.


    Jack Frost''s eyes turned ice-cold, "No, stop your treacherous plots!"


    "I am not trying to trick you. The humanity and I would really need your help!"


    Jack Frost snorted and looked away, "I don''t want to help humanity. They betrayed and hurt me¡­ time has gone by, but the pain never does."


    "Please, re-consider." Arthur saw the pain in his eyes.


    "No¡­" Jack Frost''s tone turned colder, "Also, I can''t allow the humans to leave this ce. They would onlye back with an army and force me to serve you!"


    "No! The world has changed!" Arthur paled and could hear the sound of magazines clicking and weapons swooshing. The four men drew their weapons and prepared for the battle.


    However, Arthur had hope that he could still change the situation.


    "You may go, Arthur." Jack Frost said, but then pointed at the four men, "But they can''t."


    "Why me?" Arthur frowned.


    "You are Half-Primordial and Half-Human. Even though that other half is impure and dirty, you are still trustworthy. Please, leave." Jack Frost swung the cane, and the throne room''s doors opened with a m.


    ''What is he talking about?'' Arthur frowned but then shook his head, "Please, these four are my friends. Let us go, and we won''t bother you again."


    "I can''t trust these humans." Jack Frost said and pointed the cane at Arthur, "This will sting a bit."


    "?!" Arthur widened his eyes and opened his mouth. But then, his entire body froze, bing an ice sculpture. However, his heart still continued beating and pumped warmth into the rest of his body.


    "Arthur!" Xerxus cried out and gritted his teeth.


    Jack Frost jumped off the window andnded on the floor. Everywhere he stepped, ayer of ice emerged.


    "You may die a peaceful death." Jack Frost raised his cane that shone in chilly blue, "That''s already more than humans deserve."


    "Pulverizer!" Isaac''s eyes shone in deadly crimson, and theser beam flew out of his round pupils.


    Theser beam melted the ice that kept the men stuck with its warmth.


    "Tch!" Jack Frost smashed the ice cane at the crimson beam.


    Crackle!


    Slowly, the crimson beam turned into ice. The scorching mes inside the beam vanished, and the ice nullified the whole attack. In the middle of the throne room, a frozen beam floated five meters above the ground.


    "?!" Isaac had never seen something as ludicrous. The palms that held the Silvercloud started sweating, but its scream echoed in his mind and woke him from his stupor.


    ''Stop sweating on me! Fuck!''


    Isaac lifted the gun and aimed at Jack Frost. The finger touched the trigger.


    "Gungnir!" Kalzer screamed, and the flying spear broke free from the ice and returned to his hand.


    "Take this!" Xerxus kicked the ground and dashed forwards. His whole figure looked like blue lightning as it moved across the room and swirled around the icy-haired boy.


    Jack Frost looked around him while the lightning ran around him. His vision started turning foggier, and the ice started seeping out of his cane.


    "Begone!" He smashed the cane on the frozen ground, and the ground shook.


    From the shaking ground, hundreds of ice spikes emerged and impaled the air.


    "Holy shit!" Xerxus avoided the ice spikes with a narrow margin. Then, he again kicked the ground and appeared next to Jack Frost with his fist flying towards the icy-haired boy''s cheek.


    "?!" Jack Frost turned to the right, and Xerxus'' punchnded squarely on his face.


    The world seemed to turn silent as suddenly the temperature decreased rapidly.


    SWOOSH!

 Chapter ?534 The Death

    Chapter ?534 The Death


    ''''?!'''' Xerxus'' whole right arm became engulfed in ice. The pain sensors sent signs across his brain.


    ''''Xerxus!'''' Amour screamed and threw his two-handed axe through the air.


    Jack Frost turned around and caught the axe from its silvery de.


    ''''Come back!'''' Amour kicked the ground and lunged forwards. The axe trembled as it tried to fly back to his grasp. However, then the temperature decreased, and ice covered the de entirely.


    Crack¡­


    Slowly, the de cracked and broke apart. As the broken ice-covered parts fell to the ground, everyone heard Amour''s scream as another axe appeared in his hand.


    This time, it was the axe he received from God Ares. It was a battle-hardened weapon that had bathed in blood and flesh.


    Jack Frost raised his cane, and the bluish glow shrouded the throne room.


    ''''Godly March!'''' Amour kicked the floor and jumped towards the icy-haired man.


    The crimson-colored de cut through the bluish glow and flew straight toward Jack Frost.


    ''''Ice!'''' Jack Frost uttered with a shout.


    The glowing cane released ice into the environment, lowering the temperature even further.


    The strands of hair from Amour''s hair froze. However, the axe never stopped descending, and soon the de was within arms-length away from shing right through Jack Frost''s head.


    Jack Frost moved the cane to block the axe. When the two weapons collided, sparks flew everywhere.


    Crack!


    The floor under Jack Frost cracked like spiderwebs that soon reached every nook and cranny of the room.


    Bang, bang!


    Then, two bullets drilled through the bluish glow and flew towards Jack Frost.


    ''''?!'''' Jack Frost shifted his gaze to the ordinary-looking man that held a ck-colored pistol. The barrel was still smoking as he fired two bullets with incredible uracy.


    Amour lifted his left foot and kicked Jack Frost in the waist. The smacking sound resounded in the chilly throne room.


    ''''Sssssssssss!'''' Jack Frost''s feet skidded across the cracked floor. Then, the two bullets arrived behind him.


    Jack Frost grinned coldly as he backflipped in the air, dodging the bullets with a fair margin, at the same time, he cast another spell.


    Isaac''s vision caught a small ice needle that left the ice cane. Soon, he felt something grazing his cheek.


    On his cheek, a frail line of blood appeared. Something had cut his cheek!


    ''''!''''


    Isaac whipped his head around and narrowed his eyes till they were slits. An incredibly thin ice needle poked through an ice floor. It was as big as the little finger''s nail.


    With several gulps, Isaac felt his hair stands standing up. Behind him, Jack Frost cast another spell, and this time hundreds of simr-sized needles appeared in the foggy air. The vision was extremely poor, and the needles were near-invisible!


    ''''Die.'''' Jack Frost said coldly and released the needles that flew across the air like miniature missiles. They were incredibly fast, and their presence could only be felt by their sharp whistling sound.


    ''''Isaac!'''' Amour screamed and hacked his axe toward Jack Frost. However, he had already flipped over the de and countered with another spell. This time, a small ice avnche appeared in the room, threatening to swallow Amour whole!


    ''''This is nothing but inconvenience!'''' Isaac shouted with a mighty voice. Then, a golden lining appeared in his pupils. He activated the Multi-Eyes!


    With Multi-Eyes, he saw every ice needle and its trajectories.


    As they closed in on him, his eyes shone in a brilliant mix of crimson and gold. Then, anotherser beam flew out of his round pupils, vaporizing every ice needle in his vicinity!


    With Multi-Eyes, he didn''t miss a single ice needle.


    After surviving that attack, Isaac noticed the peril Amour was in. However, he wasn''t the only one there that could help.


    ''''Did you forget us?''''


    Jack Frost''s eyes widened in shock as two shadows appeared behind him.


    On his left side, Xerxus ran ragingly while swinging his fists.


    On the right side, Kalzer pushed the Gungnir forwards, aiming at Jack''s frail torso.


    ''''Heh.'''' Amour grinned and smashed his axe at the ice avnche. With the mighty strike, his attack overpowered the ice!


    As the ice vaporized to nothingness, three attacks neared Jack Frost.


    Jack Frost saw everything moving in slow-motion. The crimson de oozed with killing intent, Xerxus'' fist smoked as the result of the velocity that his body carried, and Kalzer''s face showed slight hesitation as he drove his spear forward.


    As time started moving at regr speed, Jack Frost''s figure vanished!


    ''''?!'''' Everyone in the room widened their eyes as the immense coldness disappeared momentarily. However, almost immediately, the cold returned alongside Jack Frost.


    Jack Frost appeared behind Isaac and mmed the cane into his back.


    Crack!


    ''''ARGH?!'''' Isaac crashed to the ground with half of his back covered in ice. The pistol slipped out of his grip and skidded across the floor, away from him.


    Then, he felt Jack Frost''s icy cane touching his nape and heard his cold voice, ''''Stand down!''''


    ''''Isaac!'''' The three men grimaced as they saw ice needles slowly materializing from the cane. They knew that if they moved an inch, Isaac would die.


    Isaac rested his face on the icy floor, feeling half of his face turning numb, ''How did he get behind me? My Multi-Eyes were working non-stop, and nothing should have gone past me.''


    ''''Drop your weapons.'''' Jack Frost said coldly.


    The three men exchanged nces and gritted their teeth. They dropped their weapons, and Xerxus'' feet became engulfed in ice.


    ''''Just attack him!'''' Isaac shouted even though he felt the ice seeping into his bones. He knew that he could die without realizing it.


    ''''Do you not care about your life?'''' Jack Frost said while frowning.


    ''''KALZER!'''' Isaac screamed.


    ''''Whew!'''' Kalzer kicked the ground and explosively moved forwards. He flew straight toward Jack Frost while his majestic spear, Gungnir, appeared in his left hand.


    ''''Kalzer! What are you doing?!'''' Amour screamed as his eyes widened in terror. He saw the ice needles stabbing through Isaac''s skull, shattering it!


    ''''!!!'''' Xerxus'' eyes widened in horror.


    ''''Supreme Thrust!'''' Kalzer drove the spear forwards and struck the icy cane. The impact couldn''t erase the shock on Jack Frost''s face.


    ''''You don''t care about your friends at all?'''' He asked in shock, ''''I thought I had seen it all, but you humans sure can disgust me more.''''


    ''''Hehe, you really underestimate his craziness.'''' Kalzer grinned.


    ''''?!''''


    Then, a presence emerged from the bloodied floor.


    ''''Fuck¡­ that hurt!'''' Isaac stood up with a shattered skull. However, the wounds slowly healed.

 Chapter 535 Departure

    Chapter 535 Departure


    ''''How?!'''' Jack Frost shouted in shock as he suddenly faced the barrel of a ck-colored pistol. Isaac held the grip tightly and touched the trigger with his index finger.


    ''''Damn, that really hurt.'''' Isaac touched his head with his free hand. There was still ringing in his ears, and it was like he could still feel the sharp needles poking through his brain.


    ''''Are you giving up, or shall we get serious?'''' Amour walked next to Isaac with a cold gaze. His gaze dug deep into Jack Frost''s hesitant heart.


    The hesitation grew as the four men surrounded him until it shrouded his entire ne of existence. That scene of Isaac getting his head blown off, but still shrugging it off, and standing up like nothing happened scarred him forever!


    Crack!


    Then, everyone heard the sound of ice getting cracked and broken.


    ''''HAH!'''' The ice covering Arthur broke apart. He appeared with his veins protruding and his muscles bulging. Within his veins, a strange golden liquid flowed that helped him to escape that ice cocoon.


    ''''Stop!'''' He immediately shouted as he turned towards the four men. However, he didn''t expect to see Jack Frost on the losing end. ording to him and the words of others, his strength wasn''t far from ordinary Gods.


    ''''You alright?'''' Xerxus walked next to him with his hands slipped into his pocket. While he acted calm, his legs continued trembling. He was suffering from severe hypothermia.


    After getting frozen three times, his skin turned icy blue, and his lips froze.


    Isaac sighed and put the safety on before holstering the gun. Then, he returned to Arthur''s side with Kalzer and Amour.


    They faced Jack Frost without fear.


    ''''I¡­'''' Jack Frost staggered to the window and gazed out into the snow-filled mountains. Within his deep eyes, a sh of pain surfaced.


    ''''Jack, pleasee with us.'''' Onest time, Arthur offered his hand even though all of them shook in the cold. This was thest time he tried changing Jack''s mind.


    ''''Haahhh¡­ Leave.'''' Jack Frost sat on the window frame, looking sad suddenly, ''''All of you¡­ leave this ce.''''


    ''''Alright¡­'''' Arthur couldn''t help but feel disappointed. However, he didn''t think pushing Jack further would help in any way.


    He shook his head and motioned for everyone to leave.


    As their footsteps grew quieter, a lonely shadow reached Jack''s figure.


    After leaving the ice castle, they walked down the steep hill, and from there, they could see the lights of the vige. With heavy hearts, and wounds riddling their bodies, they walked in silence.


    A long hourter, they reached the vige gates and entered. The vigers were surprised to see them back because they thought they had already left.


    They entered their temporary residence without speaking a word and copsed before the firece.


    ''''What now?'''' Xerxus asked while igniting the mes in the firece. Soon, a warm heat appeared.


    ''''Mend your wounds, and we will leave after your wounds have healed,'''' Arthur said while looking out of the windows. The children ran in the streets while the members of Shield guarded the peace.


    With the darkening sky, the moonlight shone as brightly as ever. Footsteps of guards and vigers echoed outside the building, and drips of water trickled across the windows.


    Arthur and the four men enjoyed the fiery firece while the soft glow of gasmps caressed their faces. Within a warm and serene atmosphere, a week soon passed.


    ¡­


    Six Days Later.


    ''''Farewell, young warriors.'''' Christian stood before the tall wooden gates. He and the rest of the vigers bid farewells to Arthur and the four men.


    ''''Thanks for your hospitality.'''' Arthur shook his hand firmly before letting go and turning around.


    They stepped out of the gates and started their long descent down the hill. From there, they would take another path that led to the end of the mountains.


    Slowly, the vige''s gates closed, and their first visitors in a long time vanished into the distance.


    After a few hours, Arthur and the rest stood on top of a smaller hill. However, it was a very excellent spot for sightseeing.


    From there, they could see the entire mountainside in its whole glory, and in the distance was the end of the mountain.


    After the mountain ended, there would be no more snow, instead a flourishing forest and a beautiful blue ocean beyond it.


    Before the ocean, there was a harbor City called White Harbor. That was theirst stop before hopping into the ship and starting their final stage of the voyage.


    ''''So, this is an ocean.'''' Isaac thought aloud while enjoying the soft breeze. This was the first time he actually felt the presence of the ocean. He''d seen oceans on the inte and TV screens but never in person.


    There was a time in Fisherman Vige that looked eerily simr to White Harbor, except smaller. However, there wasn''t the ocean but a mere sea.


    ''''Hmm, no one is in sight,'''' Amour said while seeing emptynd of grass. The beautiful forest caused him to frown slightly, the leaves moved in a strange manner.


    ''''They are hiding.'''' Arthur said while shaking his head, ''''Very predictable. They will be waiting in the forest, and trying to ambush us.''''


    ''''What should we do?'''' Xerxus asked while stretching his limbs, ''''I could take them out before they can blink.''''


    ''''No, that loses the purpose.'''' Arthur said while feeling somewhat rxed, ''''Let''s just enter the forest and deal with the ambush. Lunatic is a fool who underestimates us.''''


    ''''Sounds good.'''' Amour grinned while rubbing his neck.


    Isaac''s eyes shone golden as he scanned the forest. In there, he could see silhouettes of several individuals, close to ten.


    ''Around ten¡­ well, I don''t think they need my advice.'' Isaac said with a tiny smile as he followed after the others. They began their walk down thest hill before the exit.


    Since the start of the journey, everyone in the group showed their worth, and trust started growing between them. That''s why Kalzer trusted Isaac and his crazy tactics.


    Between the tree leaves, and branches, Lunatic''s sharp eye caught five silhouettes moving down the mountain.


    ''''Hehe, this is perfect. They will fall right into our trap!''''


    The leader of the hunters wiped his sweat while keeping his thoughts to himself.


    ''Isn''t this way too obvious? There is no way THAT Arthur wouldn''t know that we are waiting for them on the other side of the mountain. Also, this forest is a painfully obvious ambush spot¡­

 Chapter ?536 Truth Revealed

    Chapter ?536 Truth Revealed


    Snowstar, Whitelock Residence.


    ''''Where is he?'''' Isabe wondered with an anxious expression. She held a fancy touchscreen phone in her right hand while touching the screen with her left hand.


    Once again, she tried to dial Isaac''s number, but it ended in voice mail. It had been over a week since she heard anything from him. It wasn''t normal for Isaac to be unreachable with phone.


    The rest of the Whitelock family was as anxious. However, they didn''t go to the authorities just yet because Luna mentioned the letter and that he went to visit ''friends''.


    With the tension and anxiety spreading across the room, Luna silently watched as the fire burned strongly in the firece. She bit her nails while thinking very disturbing things.


    The dark aura surrounded her and made breathing heavy around her.


    Isabe nced in Luna''s direction and saw her distressed state.


    ''My foolish son¡­ leaving such cute and smart girl behind to go visit some friend, and not even taking her with you? What has happened to him?''


    She frowned while thinking about all sorts of crazy theories.


    Maybe Isaac had a drug problem, or now the infamous Sword of Myth was after him. The news about Happugh reached every household, and the Whitelock family witnessed the fight that happened there.


    They were more scared because that happened in real life and not inside the game. In here, he could die, and even Luna got dragged into it!


    ''He needs a proper spanking!''


    The warm fiery glow shone on Luna''s face, her darkening eyes shining like beautiful sea pearls.


    ''I can''t use irvoyance Spell yet¡­ But, when I can, I will find out where you are.'' Luna''s soft-looking cheeks puffed up as a sweet smile rose on her lips.


    ¡­


    Inside Ice Castle.


    The four Society Leaders gathered in the throne room while Jack Frost''s cold shadow stretched across icy walls.


    Christian, the round-bellied Legacy Carrier of Santa us, knelt on the ground with his head respectfully lowered.


    Next to him was a white-haired fair maiden with rosy cheeks and doll-like facial features. She looked like she stepped out of a fairy tale, with each person being unnecessarily attractive.


    Her name is Savannah Snow, Legacy Carrier of Kuraokami.


    Within arms-length away, there was a blond-haired man with long stretchy arms and a swan-like neck.


    His name is Magnus Cold, Legacy Carrier of Yeti.


    And then the fourth figure was the shortest and less impressive-looking. He had a dark buzzcut with an aging face.


    His name is Lee Ice, Legacy Carrier of Boreas.


    ''''You called us, sire?'''' Christian asked respectfully, keeping his voice calm and humbled.


    ''''Those¡­ people, that visited me. Who are they?'''' Jack Frost asked while finally tearing off his gaze from the window.


    ''''We dug up their information but only found Arthur''s.'''' Savannah respectfully said and took a quick nce at Jack before continuing with lowered head, ''''The four men are ghosts; it is like they were born yesterday.''''


    ''''They most likely used some abilities to hide their faces,'''' Magnus said.


    ''''Would it help if I told you their abilities?'''' Jack asked.


    Christian lifted his chin and looked straight into Jack''s frosty eyes, ''''Yes, sire. If they are famous, we would know them,''''


    ''''Alright¡­'''' Jack hopped off the window and strolled towards them, ''''Then, there was person wielding ck-colored pistols with the ability to shoot scarlet beams out of his eyes, and the ability of immortality.''''


    The Society Leaders exchanged nces withplicated looks.


    ''''That doesn''t ring a bell,'''' Lee whispered with his strange ent.


    ''''Hmm, there are few yers with ck-colored pistols, but beam ability and immortality are very rare.'''' Magnus said.''''


    ''''Beam ability¡­ Heat Vision?'''' Savannah frowned.


    ''''Immortality¡­ There is only one with that ability that I can think of.'''' Christian said and slightly smirked, ''''I also heard that he could shoot beams that colors the skies in crimson.''''


    ''''Who?'''' The Society Leader turned to them, curiosity oozing from their gazes.


    Christian looked at Jack Frost, whose ears perked up, ''''yer Wraith, ss is Marksman, and has the ability of immortality, which must have weakness, and beam ability.''''


    ''''Wraith¡­'''' Jack mouthed the name and said, ''''Bring me all videos of him. Now, there were three others.''''


    The Society Leaders listened closely.


    ''''One of them had a crimson-colored axe; the scent immediately filled the air once drawn, smelling like wet blood and cut flesh.''''


    ''''Maybe it was King Arawn or Lord Amour?'''' Lee suggested.


    ''''King Arawn made a ruckus in Autumn Realm not long ago, so it can''t be him¡­'''' Magnus muttered and looked at Jack Frost, ''''Lord Amour is the closest bet.''''


    ''''¡äBring all the videos of him. Now, there was someone who could run very fast. While he ran, he left a trail of blue lightning behind.''''


    ''''King Xerxus!'''' The Four Society Leaders shouted in unison.


    ''''Xerxus?'''' Jack Frost nodded his head and said, ''''Send me all videos of him, as well. And finally, someone was wielding a spear with a very dark shaft and a stone-gray de. His aura was the strongest one out of them all.''''


    ''''Spear¡­ strong aura¡­ Gulp.'''' Magnus gulped and looked at the shocked Society Leaders, ''''Could it be him?''''


    ''''Who?'''' Jack Frost saw their shocked faces. Even he felt slight pressurending on his frail shoulders.


    ''''Lord Kalzer!'''' They shouted in unison.


    ''''Kalzer¡­ A powerful name indeed.'''' Jack looked out of the window, wiping the fog out of the ss, ''''That was the person I felt most threatened by. But, hecks killing intent and is afraid of injuring a real person.''''


    ¡­


    ''''This is it¡­'''' Arthur stopped in his tracks as they took their final steps down the mountain. Their feet touched the thin snow on the ground, while one step away was the start of grasnd and the forest.


    Sniff, sniff!


    Isaac sniffed the air and could feel the salt lingering in the air. It was the scent of the ocean.


    There was also the scent of wildflowers, grass, trees, and nature¡ªeach bringing joy to the faces of the men.


    After wandering in the endless snowynds, they finally reached salvation.


    ''''Now, only one path left.'''' In front of Arthur was the stone path that went through the forest. However, surrounded by tall trees, thick bunches, leaves, and branches, obscuring the sight.


    It was indeed the perfect ambush spot but also the most predictable.

 Chapter 537 White Harbor

    Chapter 537 White Harbor


    Step, step, step.


    Arthur and the rest walked calmly on the stone path without weapons drawn. The beautiful and growing forest surrounded them.


    They looked rxed while Arthur hummed a merry song. With a blue sky and rxing wind breeze, it felt like perfect weather for hiking.


    Crack¡­


    Then, a single crack appeared, and following that, a dozen silhouettes jumped down the trees and released the arrows from their crossbows.


    Swoosh!!


    ''''Hahaha, die!'''' Lunatic teleported behind Arthur and drove his fist into the unguarded spinal cord.


    As the fist struck, Arthur''s figure vanished like a fleeting cloud. The arrows struck the four men, but their bodies disappeared like ghosts.


    ''''Eh?'''' The Huntersnded on the ground with shocked gazes.


    ''''Illusion? One of them was Trickster?!''''


    ''''Whew, that''s nice ability.'''' A haunting voice resounded from the forest''s beginnings. They turned around and saw Arthur, with the rest of the men walking with their weapons drawn.


    ''''Heh.'''' Amour held the glowing crimson de and was also responsible for those illusions.


    God Ares'' ability was illusions that could be real. However, Amour''s current level only allowed him to make fake illusions that couldn''t do anything except walk.


    ''''Attack them!'''' Lunatic shouted, and the Hunter grabbed their axes and lunged forward. The drips of cold sweat trailed down their faces as they felt the pressure of five incredibly strong Chain Breakers crashing onto them.


    ''We can''t win!'' The leader of the hunters shouted internally as he moved closer to the five men. However, he had to fight because he would lose his head otherwise.


    Arthur kicked the ground and jumped towards the trees; the sword he held burst into mes.


    ''''?!'''' The hunters looked above and suddenly felt the heat rising. As a sudden me appeared in the sky, it looked like they were shrouded in a ming ocean.


    ''''Hehe, just a diversion,'''' Arthur said while holding the ming sword.


    ''''What?'''' The hunters frowned, but then, a blur of lightning flew past them, and their visions turned pitch dark.


    ''''AAAHH!'''' Lunatic screamed as the hunters copsed on the ground. They were unconscious!


    ''''Hello!'''' Xerxus grinned as he appeared in front of the screaming Lunatic. His fist flew andnded on his face.


    Pow!


    ''''AAHGHH!'''' Lunatic''s scream echoed in the forest as he flew and crashed through several trees.


    ''''Oops.'''' Xerxus turned to Arthur and innocently smiled, ''''Too much?''''


    ''''No, just enough,'''' Arthur replied with a smile while slipping the sword into the sheath. Following him, the four men walked on the stone path, leaving a trail of dirt footsteps behind.


    ''''Urgh¡­'''' Lunatic groaned in pain while lying on mud, ''''A-Arthur¡­ Y-You can''t escape¡­''''


    ¡­


    ''''This is it, the White Harbor.'''' After stepping out of the ever-growing forest, Arthur spread his arms and inhaled the fresh scent into his nostrils.


    The scenery reached the harbor town with a bluish ocean on the other side. The scent of salt, fish, and meat lingered in the air.


    The White Harbor was a rtively peaceful town with fishermen, butchers, and store owners being the usual upation.


    Arthur and the rest walked into the streets of the White Harbor. They immediately caught a scene of a fisherman flexing his sessful fishing trip. He managed to capture 10 kg heavy armored fish.


    With his chin raised, he boasted loudly, which attracted the attention of townsfolk. Men were impressed, women looked amazed, and the children giggled innocently.


    ''''That''s big fish,'''' Xerxus said while walking past the crowd.


    ''''I have seen bigger,'''' Arthur said and led the men to the Harbor Inn. In there, they rented one room to keep a low profile. Even though he wanted Souldeath to know where he was, he didn''t want them to bother his sleep.


    ''''Whew!'''' Amour plopped down on the bed while resting his head on the pillow.


    The room was normal, with five beds, a window that showed the harbor, and the ocean with curtains hanging from the side. There was a ceiling light and a small bathroom.


    ''''Stay here; I will visit the captain.'''' Arthur pulled up his hood, hiding his face, ''''I will ensure that the ship will be ready.''''


    ''''Roger.'''' Xerxus saluted yfully while sitting next to the desk, his arm leaning against the window.


    Kalzer tidied his bed and sat down before taking his shoes off. Then, hey down and nodded at Arthur.


    Isaac checked the bathroom and raised his thumb.


    Arthur stepped out of the room and closed the door. Then, he left the inn and walked to the harbor.


    There were hundreds of small-sized ships, medium-sized ships, andrge ships docked. There were crewmates on each ship, cleaning the decks and ensuring their ship was ready to leave the next morning.


    Arthur stopped and looked towards a nearby stall that sold fishing equipment. The seller was an elderly man with a bushy gray beard and battle-hardened face. With his shorter stature, he looked like a dwarf.


    ''''Excuse me.'''' Arthur stopped next to the stall and slightly raised his hood to take a closer look at the man.


    ''''Yes?'''' The elderly man frowned as a shadowy figure suddenly appeared near his stall. He couldn''t see the face underneath the hood but could feel the strength flowing in his veins like endless raging waves.


    ''''May I ask if the ship is ready?'''' Arthur lifted his head and showed his grinning visage.


    ''''A-Arthur!'''' The elderly man eximed before bursting intoughter, ''''Hahaha, so you managed to reach this ce.''''


    ''''Barely.'''' Arthur again hid his face underneath the hood and moved behind the stall, ''''Well, is the ship ready?''''


    ''''Yes, I have been waiting for you for close to a month.'''' The elderly man peeked toward his ship, which was a medium-sized ship but had survived several storms. It may not look much, but it was one of the strongest ships avable in White Harbor.


    ''''Good.'''' Arthur nodded, ''''What about the journey? You thought about that?''''


    ''''Yes, and going to the tropical ind won''t be hard. However, going to Summend is dangerous.'''' The elderly man said while rubbing his lengthy beard.


    ''''Myrades will take care of you. They are strong.''''


    The elderly man heaved a sigh of relief and nodded, ''''Alright, that''s good to hear. So, we will leave next morning?''''


    ''''Yes, be prepared to leave as soon as we arrive.''''

 Chapter 538 The Souldeath Assassins

    Chapter 538 The Souldeath Assassins


    "Yawn¡­" A long yawn resounded in the inn room. The four men gathered around a table, ying cards while waiting for Arthur to arrive.


    As the clock continued ticking, they heard the sound of the lock twisting and the door opening.


    Arthur removed his hood as he entered the room.


    The four men dropped their cards and looked at Arthur, anticipating his words.


    "The ship will leave tomorrow," Arthur said while removing the cloak.


    The four men nodded.


    "Is the captain trustworthy?" Xerxus asked while cing the cards on the deck.


    Arthur sat on the bed, crossing his arms, "Yes, I have known him for a while. He owes me and wouldn''t betray me."


    Xerxus nodded, and leaned against the cold window, "We are in a finishing line, huh."


    Amour tapped his finger against the table, "Unfortunately, the finishing line will be full of bumps."


    "Agreed." Arthur nodded andy down on the bed; he slowly closed his eyes, "Get rest; tomorrow will be a long day."


    The four men nodded, and as the moonlight shone from the window, the room turned silent as everyone returned to their beds.


    The wind blew, and small raindrops fell from the sky. Soon, the sound of raindrops hitting the ground reverberated in the small town. Outside White Harbor, several shadowy figures moved across the town, searching for Arthur and the four men.


    However, they didn''t find even a single clue about their whereabouts. They couldn''t ask either since that would lose their trump card. Most likely, Arthur didn''t know about their existence. Thus, revealing themselves was out of the question.


    After searching the whole town, they only thought about one possible ce where they could be. Soon, they were surrounding the inn.


    Slowly, the moonlight passed, and a shimmer of light appeared from theyers of darkness. A yellow wheel of fire alongside cotton-white clouds appeared.


    Another day started in the peaceful town of White Harbor.


    ¡­


    Inside Souldeath Castle after a sleepless night.


    Lord sat in his office, enraged by the ipetence his son showed. They ordered the Souldeath Assassins to find the whereabouts of Arthur and rest. Their job was to stop them from leaving with the ship by any means necessary!


    "If even that fails¡­ I still have my backup n¡­" Lord said with a ruthless glint reflecting off his eyes.


    The sunlight seeped through the drapes and shone on Lord''s aged face. Half of his face shone by the sun, while the other half hid in darkness.


    ¡­


    "¡­" Arthur slightly moved the curtains enough to peek outside with one eye. While the streets looked peaceful, with White Harbor citizens minding their own business, there was a slight tension in the air.


    His gaze carefully examined all the rooftops and dark areas. However, he couldn''t find the sight of anyone.


    Until finally, a dark silhouette jumped from one rooftop to another.


    Arthur slowly closed the curtains and looked at the four men wearing battle outfits.


    "We are surrounded." He said with rtive calmness, and picked up his bag from his bed.


    "Should I take care of them?" Xerxus asked while rubbing his feet.


    "No¡­" Arthur turned to the average-looking youth, "Isaac, you do it."


    Isaac, who still wore the mask that made him look very average, looked slightly surprised but nodded.


    He unholstered the Silvercloud and smirked, "See you in the harbor.


    Everyone else nodded and saw star patterns surrounding Isaac''s body. Soon, the stars wholly covered him, and he disappeared.


    The Souldeath Assassins continued hiding on the rooftops, away from the view of the citizens. Their honed senses kept them alrt, and they could feel even a tiny ripple in the air. However, the next moment took thempletely off-guard!


    Tap.


    "?!" One of the dark-robed Assassins frozepletely as he felt a gun''s barrel touching the back of his head.


    "Don''t move¡­" Isaac said as he held the Assassin at gunpoint.


    "Hah¡­" However, the Assassin suddenly chuckled, "You think you can threaten me and force my brethren to lower their weapons? We trained to ignore our emotions, and they will kill both of us."


    "Sure, let''s test that theory!" Isaac suddenly grabbed him from his cor and jumped off the rooftop. Suddenly, all the Assassins whipped their heads around and saw one of their brethren held hostage!


    Their eyes shook, and there was a moment of hesitation, which was exactly what Isaac waited for.


    ''''Ignore our emotions, my ass.'''' Isaac raised the gun and smacked it across the Assassins'' nape, knocking him off swiftly. Then, hended on another rooftop and fired the gun on several asions.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    The bullets rippled through the air, and drilled through another Assassin''s thigh, immobilizing him.


    "Eh, what was that?" A clean-shaven young man asked while thinking that he might have heard some banging noiseing from above. He wasn''t the only one as the citizens stopped and frowned.


    Arthur and the men slipped out of the inn and ran straight toward the harbor. They could hear the gunshots, but they didn''t change any of their expressions.


    Isaac jumped across several rooftops, spinning around as he fired the gun. Bang, bang, bang, more bullets flew, and the Assassins continued getting hit.


    Soonter, Isaded on top of the inn, where thest Assassin hid.


    The Assassin held the dagger in a reverse grip, oozing with bloodlust.


    Isaac lifted the gun and pulled the trigger. As the bullet explosively left the barrel, the Assassin swung his dagger, deflecting the bullet.


    As more gunshots echoed in the air, the citizens finally realized that something was going on.


    Swoosh!


    The Assassin used the reverse grip to his advantage and shed in a somewhat unorthodox manner. The dagger shone under the sunlight as it flew towards Isaac''s neck.


    However, Isaac then blocked the dagger with the Silvercloud while the barrel faced downward.


    "?!" The Assassin took a step forward and tried to push the gun away.


    However, then Isaac pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew out of the barrel, and drilled through the Assassin''s foot!


    "?!" The Assassin looked down with a frightened look. He now understood that Isaac had waited for that one extra step, expecting him to try to push the gun away. Thus, the foot arrived in view of the barrel.

 Chapter ?539 The Navy Vs. Legacy Carriers

    Chapter ?539 The Navy Vs. Legacy Carriers


    Boom!


    Isaac explosively kicked the ground and kneed the Assassin''s jaw. As he staggered backward with a bloodied mouth, his ears rang as several more bullets flew.


    The Assassin quickly sidestepped to the left, the bullets barely grazing past him. Then, he kicked the ground and dashed forward. With the shining dagger, he unleashed a barrage of shes.


    The wind continued getting cut as the dagger shredded through it like paper.


    Isaac weaved through the dagger shes and lifted the gun before pulling the trigger.


    Bang!


    The Assassin flinched and quickly nted his head to the left; the bullet grazed past his cheek, leaving behind a thin trail of blood. However, he promptly shrugged the near-death experience off and stabbed forth with the dagger.


    Isaac took a step back; the dagger couldn''tpletely reach his figure. As the Assassin stood in an awkward stance, his arm extended and dagger swaying, Isaac suddenly spun around and sent an explosive back-kick.


    The Assassin dropped the dagger and crossed his arms. The kicknded on his forearms, pushing him to step back.


    Isaac then grabbed the Silvercloud with both hands and spun around with the finger on the trigger. Then, he released another storm of bullets.


    Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!


    The citizens had already hurried away from this part of the town. The sound of gunshots even reached the ears of the Guards. Their clinging armors echoed across the air as they ran in the direction of Isaac and Assassin.


    The Assassin jumped off the roof, managing to dodge the bullets. As hended in the alleyway, he quickly disappeared into the shadows and disappeared.


    Isaac watched as the tranquility arrived in the town. The immobilized Assassins had also disappeared.


    "It''s indeed hard to defeat the Assassins without intention to kill¡­" Isaac murmured. Since the start of the fight, he never tried to kill them. That was because this wasn''t a game but instead real life.


    While he had killed several people in White Online, who were NPCs and ended up being actual humans, Isaac didn''t know what to think about it. They were trying to kill him, and he had to defend himself.


    It was the same with the Assassins. However, he couldn''t utter the courage to kill in real life.


    Isaac looked down at the Silvercloud and sighed, "Silvercloud, should I have killed them?"


    ''They are trash who have most likely killed hundreds. You would have done the world a favor.''


    ''Don''t listen to him,'' However, Silvernium suddenly quipped, ''Unnecessary bloodshed is never right. You didn''t need to kill them; instead, make them retreat, which is what Arthur hoped you to do.''


    Isaac sighed and holstered the gun. Then, he jumped off the rooftop and leaped in the direction of the harbor.


    ¡­


    Near the harbor.


    Arthur peeked behind the wall and saw the dead-silent harbor. There were still ships docked, but the bustling part of the town was now eerily quiet.


    "Where is everyone?" Xerxus whispered behind Arthur.


    Arthur frowned and looked in the direction of his ship. As he waited, he suddenly saw the bearded-man appearing on the deck, waving in their direction.


    A smile crept up to Arthur''s face, he motioned for the young man, and they entered the harbor. They ran directly to the ship.


    "Arthur." The Captain shook hands with Arthur and checked the three men, and frowned, "Where is the fourth?"


    "He will be here soon," Arthur said after the gunshots quieted down. While many might think that something might have happened to Isaac, not him. And soon, his trust paid off as a silhouette suddenly appeared in the distance, jumping off the rooftop.


    Shortlyter, Isaac arrived on the ship.


    "Alright, let''s leave." The Captain said while checking the grayish sky, "There might be a storm approaching."


    Arthur nodded and gave instructions to the men. They began opening the sails, and after the anchor was pulled up, the ship slowly started sailing.


    The water sshed against the hull, and the sails pped as it started picking up wind.


    Isaac looked over the handrail at the clean water. The water sshed against the hull, almost sending waterdrops in his direction.


    After a short while, the ship left the vicinity of the White Harbor. With a gray sky and yellow sphere above, the weather wasn''t the worst, even though there was some moisture in the air.


    However, the peaceful atmosphere soon got disturbed.


    The Captain continued using the wheel while controlling the ship. However, then the radar started beeping, an enormous green dot appeared. Before he could say another word, the sky trembled as several missiles flew across the air,ing directly toward them!


    Arthur and the men already saw the missiles and unsheathed their weapons.


    A long distance away, a warship made of steel and ck rock appeared. The sails showed the symbol of Souldeath.


    In themand deck, the Admiral of Souldeath Navy barked orders, "Reload and fire!"


    BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!


    Another three missiles flew out of the massive cannons and directly towards the far-away ship.


    Isaac hopped on top of the ship''s mast, and his crimson eyes released a powerful crimson beam!


    SWOOOSH!


    The crimson beam smashed through the missiles effortlessly. However, as the beam''s effectiveness disappeared, there were still three missiles!


    Kalzer held the spear in a firm grip, his muscles trembling. Then, he kicked the ground and rotated his shoulder while twisting his waist. The spear flew out of his grasp, slicing through the missiles effortlessly.


    As the missiles exploded in the air, the Gungnir returned to Kalzer''s hand.


    His raven-colored hair fluttered across his face.


    "Sir, all the missiles failed to reach the mark!" The soldiers reported inside the warship.


    "Unleash the Gatling gun! RELEASE THE HELL!" The Navy Admiral screamed.


    RATATATATATATATATATATATA!


    The ming bullets covered the grayish sky, leaving behind trails of smoke.


    The Captain frowned and whipped the wheel around, facing starboard. The ship slowly steered right, the tip of the ship cutting through the waves like a knife.


    RATATATATATATATATATA!


    Arthur and the four men knelt on the deck as the ming bullets cut through the ship''s sides like they were pencils making holes in paper. However, half of the bullets missed the ship with a narrow margin.


    However, the water soon started slipping into the damaged ship. The holes wererge and gravely decreased the speed.


    "Xerxus, fix the holes!" Arthur shouted.


    Xerxus nodded and dashed to the lower deck. In there, he saw that the floor was already submerged. He cracked his neck and ran across the lower deck, quickly fixing the holes.


    The ocean turned as both sides didn''t make any moves.


    Isaac holstered the Silvercloud and pulled out the Mosin-Nagant from his inventory. He knelt on the highest peak of the ship and rested the stock against his right shoulder.


    Slowly, his hand stabilized, and he could see the far-away warship. With his excellent and inhuman vision, he could see tiny dots moving in themand deck.


    After several rapid breaths, he smiled and pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    Arthur, Kalzer, and Amour turned to Isaac and saw Isaac firing his sniper rifle.


    "Oho." Arthur smiled sneakily and grabbed binocrs. He hopped on the handrail and looked at the far-away warship with the binocrs. He could barely see the outline of the ship. However, then he saw an explosion!


    Isaac''s bullet tore through one of the cannons that had a missile inside. Thus, it exploded, causing fire to spread on the deck. The soldiers controlling the cannons screamed as the fire reached their clothes.


    With pain assaulting their senses, they lost their reasoning and jumped off the deck.


    Ssh!


    Waves appeared on the water.


    "MEN OVERBOARD!"

 Chapter 540 Adios, my friends

    Chapter 540 Adios, my friends


    ''''Whew.'''' Isaac swiped his hair back and jumped off the mast. Landing on the deck, he ced the sniper rifle back on inventory.


    ''''Arthur, the ship wasn''t built for naval battle!'''' The Captain shouted.


    Arthur entered the tiny shack where the ship''s equipment and wheel were. The equipment blinked red as the scent of gasoline started seeping through from below the deck.


    He patted the shoulder of the Captain and said, ''''Keep going forward; we will handle this.''''


    The Captain wiped his sweat and nodded hesitantly, ''''Do it quick. The engine is already blinking red.''''


    Arthur wiped the fog off the windows and looked into the sshing water. The ship continued cutting through therge waves as it slowly steered left, further away from the warship.


    However, soon the warship''s fire was quenched by the soldiers. They turned their remaining cannons in the direction of the ship and released the rest of the cannonballs.


    BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!


    Swoosh!


    Xerxus rushed out of the lower deck,pletely drenched. He swiped his wet hair behind and cracked his neck, ''''I will deal with them!''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' They turned to look at Xerxus, whose next action shocked everyone. With one long leap, Xerxus jumped off the ship andnded on the water. However, suddenly his legs started moving faster than ever, and he started running on top of the water!


    The waves paved the way to Xerxus, who crossed the distance between the ship and warship in a matter of seconds.


    ''''These guys are crazy¡­'''' The Captain wiped his sweat, wondering where Arthur found these crazy guys.


    In the warship, the soldiers panicked as they saw a ck bluring straight toward them. At first, they thought it was some kind of underwater missile. However, soon that blur appeared in the near vicinity of the warship and looked like a person!


    The Navy Admiral looked at the scene with mouth agape, sweat trickling down the side of his face, and a ticking heartbeat.


    Ssh!


    An explosion happened in the wavy ocean. However, then an outline of a person appeared from the ssh, flying straight toward them. Shortly afterward, the drenched mannded on the deck, scaring nearby soldiers.


    ''''Heh.'''' Xerxus grinned, and currents of electricity danced around him, engulfing him entirely. The bolts of electricity charred the steel deck, increasing the heat and pressure.


    Further away, Arthur and the rest watched as the massive warship got shrouded in bolts of electricity. The waves raged, and the currents of electricity sted apart the warship.


    The Captain watched with a wide mouth as the warship started sinking by doings of a single person. Then, a bolt of electricity left the warship and returned to his ship while letting out strange waves of heat.


    Wiping his sweat, he looked deeply at theughing Xerxus, who started mingling with the other men. While the other men clicked their tongues, saying that they could have done it quicker, Xerxus onlyughed and flexed.


    ''He is¡­ the strongest, isn''t he?'' The Captain thought as he deeply looked at Xerxus, impressed to the very core. He didn''t think there could be anyone strong enough to defeat him.


    In the sinking warship, the Navy Admiral screamed while fiddling with the radio phone. He tried to contact Lord and soon received a connection.


    ''''L-Lord, we are sinking. Please send help!'''' He screamed with his lungs full of water. Half of his body was dragging him underneath.


    ''''¡­'''' The other side of the radio phone was quiet until the connection suddenly cut off.


    ''''Eh?'''' The Navy Admiral blinked with a dumbfounded expression. As he swam in the middle of the burning warship, one of the rubbles suddenly fell andnded on his head, causing him to fall unconscious.


    With the radio phone diving further away, the unconscious Navy Admiral sank deeper into the water with a bloodied face and white pupils. Around him, the ming rubble and dead soldiers apanied him for eternity.


    ¡­


    After the night dawned, the morning light shone on the beautiful ocean. A battered ship finally reached a tropical ind with a sand beach surrounding its outeryer. The sky was bright blue, and the yellowish wheel of fire bathed the ind with its warmth.


    The ind had heavily wooded forests with beautifulkes which flowed through the entire ind. The scene was beautiful. In the distance,rge cloud-splitting mountains stood tall. That also seemed to be Arthur''s destination as he looked deeply in that direction.


    The four men and the captain stood silently. They knew that it was time to split ways.


    Arthur held his hand on the handrail and slowly gazed at the flowing waters that sshed against the ship''s hull. The birds chirped and pped their wings as they flew over the forest.


    The whole ind seemed like a paradise. However, it was empty, even though it could be a perfect vacation location. The reason for such was that Arthur owned it, the entire Ind. It was where he created White Online and the ce where he would continue treading on the path of bing strong.


    ''''This is the farewell¡­ for now.'''' Arthur smiled and turned to face the men, lightly tapping his finger against the handrail, ''''The ship will take you to Summend, where you four will split up.


    The men nodded, staying silent as the atmosphere was slightly tense. The journey was long and had some hardships. But it was still fun.


    The corner of Arthur''s lips rose as he turned away and began to walk down the stairs. With a wave of his left hand, he said, ''''Take care of the captain. I hope peaceful journey, and we will see each otherter. But, till then, adios.''''


    The four men watched as Arthur skipped over the hot sandy beach and entered the forest. The footsteps grew distant¡ªhe was gone.


    ''''Alright¡­ let''s leave now.'''' The captain said and patted the shoulders of the men. He returned to themand deck and started the ship. Soon, the anchor reeled in, and another journey started.


    On the tropical ind, Arthur stepped up a steep hill. The insects buzzed around him, and the leaves rattled. Soon, he reached high enough altitude to be able to gaze over the trees.


    He stopped and turned around. On the horizon was the ocean, and the battered ship, which let out enough smoke to corrupt the clouds.


    Arthur slowly saluted, releasing an saddened breath, ''''Adios, my friends¡­''''

 Chapter ?541 This was his life

    Chapter ?541 This was his life


    ''''Sire, we have a report!'''' In the dark castle, the servants stepped into the office while holding gasmps, paving their way in shining light. The office looked creepier than before, with dusty bookshelves and dark-framed bronze mirror.


    The servants silently gulped, looking at the dark-robed old man, who stood next to the draped windows. He had his shoulders slumped and back hunched. His previous aging eyes looked swampy like he was dying.


    ''''What is it¡­?'''' Lord Souldeath asked with his dying tone. Between the words, a wet cough escaped his mouth. In his current state, it looked like he was only moments ago from dying.


    ''''Arthur Welhenheim entered thend on a tropical ind called Picu!''''


    Lord slowly raised his head, tiredly looking out of the curtain cracks. The streets of the City of Soul were bustling. The cobblestone streets looked perfectly clean, and every citizen wore fancy clothes. While Picu looked vacation ind, this ind looked like a home for the wealthy.


    ''''Arthur¡­ what are you nning?'''' Lord muttered to himself while the servants stood silently. With cane in hand, he lightly tapped it against the carpeted floor. Thinking about the reason for Arthur''s behavior.


    ''''He didn''t care that we followed him¡­ no, it looked like he wanted us to follow him.'''' Lord turned his head a few degrees and said to the servants, ''''Leave.''''


    The servants bowed and left with rapid steps. Soon, the door opened and closed. The office was again empty, with only him inside.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    <sub></sub>


    He continued tapping the carpet with the silver-decorated cane.


    ''''Yes¡­ he wanted us to follow him, and he knew we wouldn''t go to the Mountain of Winter¡­ why did he want us to follow him?'''' Slowly, a bigger picture started forming in his mind.


    ''''Maybe¡­ he is nning to trap us?'''' Looking left, towards arge map that adorned the south wall, his eyes had a realization, ''''Ind Picu, the birthce of White Online. Yes¡­ he is going there to have a better chance of fighting. It''s perfect for hiding, and use that time to enter White Online to grow stronger.''''


    His eyes turned cold as he snorted, ''''Hmph, so what? White Online or not, you think you can escape us?''''


    Turning around, he dinged the golden bell. Shortlyter, the servants again entered the office, waiting for Lord''s orders.


    ''''Tell my sons to enter White Online, and hunt down a yer called Emperor Wetherhold!''''


    The servants nodded and skipped out of the room.


    Lord snorted and sat down on the creaking chair, ''''Emperor Wetherhold, aka Arthur Welhenheim. Staying in the shadows and out of the public''s view must not have been easy¡­


    ''''However, you are naive if you think I couldn''t find your yer ID. While you know every tiny trick in the game, even how to hide your ID, I still found who you are¡­ this is the true power, the power of knowledge.


    ''''Good luck growing stronger when all my sons are hunting after you, hmph.'''' Lord picked up the dirty-covered book and opened it. After grabbing a fountain pen, he dipped it into ck ink and started writing a letter.


    After the gray sphere appeared in the sky and night turned cold, Lord finished writing ten letters.


    Ding, ding.


    He tapped the golden bell, and the servants appeared in the office like clockwork. They were slightly sweating after running.


    ''''Send these to the Dark Kings. They shall go to Picu to find Arthur!'''' Lord gave the ten letters and motioned for the servants to leave. After the door closed, the fire in the candle died, turning the office dark.


    ¡­


    Ssh, ssh, ssh.


    The battered ship with peeled off-color, and smoking engine, finally reached the shore of Summend. The people in the harbor were shocked to see the smoking ship, and were certain that it must have been the work of pirates!


    The pirates stay further away from the shores of Main Continents. However, near inhabitable inds, they search for their next prey.


    ''''Finally!'''' Xerxus rubbed his aching buttocks. After sitting on a wooden bench for hours of no end, he started getting annoyed and thought about running back home. However, they needed to enter the shore so that the Souldeath family would find out about it.


    They would focus their search on Summend while the four men would disappear back to their homes.


    Amour smiled as the summer heat caressed his face, ''''So, this is it? The end of our journey.''''


    Kalzer sadly smiled, his hands trembling from the idea of returning back home, ''''Yes¡­ we need to split up. It will make finding us harder.''''


    Xerxus turned to daydreaming Isaac and asked, ''''Yo, Isaac, will you use your magic gun to teleport yourself back to Wintend?''''


    ''''Yeah,'''' Isaac replied.


    ''''Can you teleport me as well?'''' Xerxus asked with a grin, ''''I want to go sightseeing in Wintend before returning home.''''


    Shrugging his shoulders, Isaac nodded, ''''Fine.''''


    Xerxus rubbed his hands and spread his arms around, ''''Shoot me!''''


    Amour and Kalzer curiously watched as Isaac lifted the Silvernium and pulled the trigger.


    ''''W-Wait, what the fuck?!'''' The captain rushed out of themand deck, and with a terrified look, he watched as Isaac pulled the trigger.


    The muffled sound echoed in the air, and Xerxus looked around as the air started distorting.


    ''''Wow, this is so messed u¡ª'''' Without finalizing his words, the ripple in the air swallowed him.


    ''''W-What?'''' The captain rubbed his eyes with disbelief.


    ''''Teleportation gun!'''' Amour patted the captain''s shoulder and exined.


    ''''O-Oh¡­'''' The captain''s mouth twitched as he didn''t know what else to expect from the four men. They were absolutely crazy.


    ''''Well¡­ I guess this is farewell.'''' Kalzer waved his hand and exchanged onest handshake with Amour and Isaac.


    As he began walking down the stairs, suddenly, a powerful hand patted him on the shoulder. With a surprised gaze, Kalzer looked at Isaac.


    Isaac patted his shoulder and leaned closer to whisper, ''''Mother or father?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Kalzer flinched and blinked his eyes.


    ''''Who do you not want to meet?'''' Isaac asked with his silvery eyes gazing deep into Kalzer''s eyes.


    Kalzer''s eyes shook before he sighed, ''''Father¡­''''


    Isaac nodded and gave a firmer pat on the shoulder, ''''That''s quite personal. But, if you don''t do something about it, the memories will haunt you rest of your life. This is your life now, not his, so make it yours.''''


    Kalzer nkly walked down the stairs, the voice of Isaac echoing in his mind. Slowly, his eyes showed a powerful glint. As he clenched his fists, he lifted his chin and showed the first-ever relieved look on his face. He now knew what he should do.


    This was his life.

 Chapter 542 Kalzers Payback

    Chapter 542 Kalzer''s Payback


    The yellowish sphere of fire floated above while the blue sky looked beautiful with its cotton-white clouds.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    Kalzer slowly stepped forward on the pavement, surrounded by luxurious buildings. Shortly afterward, he arrived in the elegant yard, filled with flourishing grass patches and flowers.


    The breeze of fresh wind gushed past his face, waking him up from his trance. With a final sigh, he stepped forward and opened the front door. As the door made of the oak tree opened, he stepped into the mansion with his heart beating against his chest.


    Ba-dump, Ba-dump, Ba-dump.


    With his backpack hanging over his left shoulder, he slowly lowered it and ced it on the floor. When he heard the footsteps echoing from the top floor, he quickly touched his face and ripped off the mask.


    His handsome face appeared, shining in brilliance. He hid the mask in the backpack and moved his gaze to the upstairs. The silhouette of his father appeared with a red face and an obvious angry expression.


    "Kalzer!" His roar reverberated across the mansion, making the windows shake and floor quake.


    "Yes, father?" Kalzer replied while hiding his trembling hands behind his back.


    <sub></sub>


    Reaching the bottom of the stairs, Kai, Kalzer''s father, removed his belt and swung it around beforending a flesh-smacking whip on Kalzer''s cheek.


    Smack!


    "?!" Kalzer''s eyes shook as his head swung to face the other way. The stinging feeling spread across his cheek.


    "You dare to leave without my permission?!" Kai screamed while raising the belt, ready to send another whip-like attack, "To do what? Laze around?! Lazy bastard!"


    "N-No¡­ s-spear instructor¡­" Kalzer tried to exin but received another whipping, this time, itnded on his other cheek, making it dyed red.


    "Don''t lie to me!" Kai screamed till his uv shook.


    "No, Kai, don''t!" A frightened voice came from upstairs, belonging to Karen. Her eyes moistened as she saw her son getting beaten up.


    "Shut up, slut!" Kai''s scream froze the atmosphere. His grip on the belt tightened.


    "K-Kai¡­" Karen''s eyes shook, and she took a step back, hiding further in upstairs.


    Soon, several other eye pairs appeared upstairs, belonging to their children. However, they didn''t seem frightened. They snickered at Kalzer,ughing at his current condition.


    "What did you call her¡­"


    Kai frowned after hearing the chilly voice. He slowly turned around and saw his son staring at him with furious eyes.


    "Y-You dare to give me that look?!" Raising the belt, he screamed as he sent another whipping strike.


    However, this time¡­ it didn''tnd.


    Grab.


    Kalzer caught the belt effortlessly, his cold eyes never leaving Kai''s face.


    "L-Let go, you useless son!" Kai gritted his teeth, trying to remove the belt from his son''s grasp. But, the difference between strengths was too much.


    "Y-You, useless son!" As he screamed, he pointed at Kalzer and said, "You would be nothing without me. You should be fucking grateful that we even gave birth to you!"


    "Did I ask to be born?" Kalzer asked with a cold voice, stunning everyone, "I didn''t ask for it. You birthed me because you needed me for something or simply wanted a son."


    When he said the first part, he looked at Kai. Then, when he said thest part, he looked at his crying mother.


    While Kai needed him and his siblings for something, Karen simply wanted children.


    Kalzer pulled the belt, removing it from Kai''s hand. Then, he swung it and whipped it across Kai''s face, causing a loud smack to echo in the mansion.


    The mansion turned silent afterward. Everyone was stunned as they saw Kai''s short figure flying across the air until finallynding on the steps of the stairs. The single whip caused several of his teeth to fly out.


    "I don''t mind your endless insults and beatings." Kalzer slowly walked to the stunned Kai, who held his cheek while in a trance. He couldn''tprehend the things that just happened. His son just hit him?


    He never expected someone to raise their hand against him, after all, he was the man of the house, and others should listen to him withoutints!


    "However, you dare to insult my mother?" Shaking his head, Kalzer raised the belt with cold eyes, "You should be grateful that you might still be able to stand after this."


    SMACK!


    With one quick whip, a bloody wound appeared on Kai''s back.


    ''''AAAAAAAAAAAAH!'''' Screaming, Kai tried his best to not fall unconscious. The single strike caused endless waves of pain. It felt worse than death!


    Karen held her mouth in shock. She never expected her calm son to do anything to his father.


    Kalzer''s siblings looked frightened. They hoped their father would still stand up and beat him up. However, after seeing the smell of urine and yellowish puddle forming underneath Kai, they lost all hope.


    Kalzer dropped the belt and said, "Leave this ce, and nevere back."


    Kai''s eyes shook, and with half of his teeth missing, he still tried to utter, "Y-Y-You¡­ a-a-are nothing¡­ w-without me."


    "I don''t need you," Kalzer said and stepped over Kai, walking up the stairs. After stopping next to his mother, she wiped her tears and smiled gently.


    "Go rest." She said.


    Kalzer nodded and returned to his room. After closing the door, he slumped on the floor with an exhausted look. His heart still beat like it was trying to burst out of his chest.


    As he noticed his VR Helmet shining underneath the sunlight, he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. Arthur gave him and others this paper. It would tell coordinates for their reward.


    None of them opened it yet and waited till they got home. They didn''t think that Arthur would scam them. Their faith was hundred percent.


    Opening the paper, Kalzer memorized the coordinates. Then, he grabbed the VR Helmet, returned to his bed, and positioned the headgear around his head.


    Downstairs, Kai staggered to the front door with a bloodied face. His eyes were red out of rage.


    "Father, wait!" Kalzer''s siblings ran out of the upstairs, following their father.


    "Killjoy and Kawzer, where are you two going?" Karen asked with her hand on her chest.


    "We are going to follow our father!" Killjoy was Kalzer''s little sister and the youngest of the family. Still, she had inherited some of Kai''s traits, like his wrathful eyes.


    Kaiser looked with disdain at his mother and left the mansion with his little sister and father. As the door closed, only two people were left in the mansion.


    "Sigh¡­" Karen sighed, even though it hurt to lose two of her children. She still felt waves of relief washing over her. The monstrous man was finally gone.

    Creak¡­


    "I am home!" Amour shouted as he stepped into the carpeted floor. The walls were brownish with a hue of yellow, making the interior look like old ancient castles. However, it looked warm and cozy to everyone who''d lived there for some time.


    The servants perked up their ears and greeted their young master. As more servants came to greet him, soon his father walked down the upstairs, his hands folded behind his back.


    "Father." Amour waved his hand.


    "Amour, was your trip pleasant?" Amon asked with a slight smile, curiously scanning his son. There didn''t seem to be any injuries or signs of fighting. Heaving a sigh of relief, he revealed a bigger smile.


    "Yes, it was alright," Amour replied.


    The light shone on the mansion as the dinner was served. The father and son duo talked about some mundane things. It was the daily routine for them. Since only two of them were in the family, they were extremely close.


    They never hid things from each other, but Amour felt like it was better not to reveal the meeting with Arthur, and the men, who ended up bing his friends.


    After the dinner, the servants took care of the dishes, while Amour returned to his spacious room. In there, he pulled out a scrap of paper and checked the coordinates. None of them knew what it hid, but it must be something important.


    After remembering the coordinates, he pocketed the paper, grabbed his VR Helmet, and returned to his bed. With the bluish visor covering his face and skinsuit wrapping tightly around his body, he entered White Online.


    ¡­


    In Snowstar, Whitelock''s Residence.


    Luna drew a pentagram on the ground and ced five marbles around it. After taking out her wand, she concentrated fully on the magic she was about to perform.


    As the first wave of the wand happened, the candle''s fire died. However, as soon as the second wave came, the candlelight mysteriously reappeared, wrapping Luna''s beautiful face in a honey-yellow glow.


    "Hecate''s Magic, The Seven Circr, irvoyance Magic!" The silver-iid wand''s tip shone in a brilliant bluish hue. The marbles shone with the same intensity, coloring the room in blue light.


    "Where are you¡­ my love¡­" She murmured and closed her eyes. In her mind, fragments of images appeared, some were shaped like broken ss, and some were whole. However, each fragment showed the same image, Isaac''s room.


    Waking up from the trance, Luna''s eyes shook as she slowly turned around. At the open door frame, a handsome white-haired man stood while eating food grains. His lips were curved upward, looking to be amused.


    "ISAAC!" Luna sprung to her feet, her previous anger disappeared, and she immediately wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging him tightly.


    "Oh." The food seeds slipped out of Isaac''s hold, littering the ground. However, he shrugged his shoulders and returned the hug.


    However, after Luna overcame her initial excitement, the anger reappeared, and she smacked his shoulder.


    "Ouch, what was that for?" Isaac asked while rubbing his shoulder.


    "You went to look for your friends, eh?!" Holding her waist, she angrily questioned, "Bullshit!"


    "Sigh, where did my cute Luna go?" Isaac''s lips curved downward, looking saddened.


    "E-Eh?" Luna held her chest in surprise, taking a step backward. She quickly whipped around, pulled out her phone, and checked her reflection. She tidied her hair and looked at the face. She still looked like her sweet self, even though there was still a trace of anger.


    Isaac chuckled silently and sat on the bed. Patting the spot next to him, he invited Luna to sit next to him.


    Luna hesitantly sat next to him, waiting for answers.


    Isaac wryly smiled and decided to answer truthfully. After his mouth opened, he spoke about Arthur, Xerxus, Kalzer, and Amour. The whole storysted for two hours, filled with heart-stopping moments.


    After that, Luna sat silently while mulling over. She still didn''t like the idea of him going there alone. But, most of her anger disappeared.


    After the moonlight peered from the cracks of the curtains, she hugged Isaac and made him sleep next to her.


    Isaac continued caressing her soft hair as her breathing started bing slower, and she soon fell asleep. As her soft breathing tickled his neck, Isaac pulled out the paper and checked the coordinates.


    ''The softness of bed and warmth of Luna... feels so distant.'' Isaac murmured to himself in his thoughts. The warmth he felt was strange but satisfying. After the long journey, filled with sleepless nights, had ended.


    He felt happy that it was over but still slightly mncholic. While the journey itself wasn''t that pleasant, thepany he spent time with was.


    ''Maybe this won''t be thest time I meet them. I feel like Arthur has bigger ns for us.''


    For tonight, he nned to sleep and rest. Then, tomorrow, he would go and find that ce. There were many yers who''d passed his level, and he''d to start increasing the pace of leveling up.


    Shortly, the eyelids grew heavier, and he got caught in the trap called sleepiness.


    ¡­


    Atte night.


    A bolt of electricity arrived on Sprinnd and continued zooming across the Continent until finally, Xerxus arrived at the front steps of his house.


    There was still lighting from the windows.


    As he ced his hand on the doorknob and twisted, he noticed that the door was locked. With a roll of his eyes, he raised his right hand and knocked on the door.


    Knock, knock, knock.


    Within an instant, hurried footsteps echoed from inside, and the door opened with a bam.


    Xerxus'' eyes greeted the sight of a bright-looking girl, whose smile caused him to smile as well.


    "Brother!" She screamed and wrapped her arms around his waist, pulling him into a hug.


    "Ka." Xerxus rubbed his little sister''s hair. Shortlyter, the rest of his family arrived on the doorsteps, weing him after his long journey.


    After a short dinner and catching ups, Xerxus returned to his room, even though it was quite difficult to prove that he actually was with his friends.


    As he sat on his bed, he pulled out the paper, checked the coordinates, and nodded after remembering it. Then, with superspeed, he grabbed the helmet, and appeared back on his bed. With several clicks of button, the skinsuit wrapped around him, and he entered World of White.


    The long journey of Arthur, and the four men concluded. With their tracks reaching the shores of Summend, the Souldeath family tried to find more, but couldn''t, like they disappeared into a thin air.


    With no clues about the men, they focused their attention on Arthur. The tropical ind of Picu was surrounded with dozens of warships, cannons pointing at the ind.


    The beautiful forest was filled with soldiers, and several dark-clothed figures, Dark Kings. The Dark Kings were the main enforcers of the Souldeath Family. There were ten of them and all Chain Breakers.

 Chapter 544 Survive Till Clock Breaks

    Chapter 544 Survive Till Clock Breaks


    Entering White Online, Isaac woke up in the familiar bookstore. The smell of dust was gone, reced by calming cedar scent. While looking at the mesmerizing wallpaper, he heard a noiseing from downstairs.


    Walking out of the room, he arrived downstairs shortly afterward. The store looked far different than weeks ago. The bookstore was furnished even further, looking beautiful.


    The door kept opening and closing as the customers continued swarming inside.


    Turning to the left, Isaac saw Ghost, working tirelessly as he kept the store open single-handedly.


    ''''Ghost.'''' Walking to the counter, Isaac''s voice attracted the store''s attention.


    ''''Master!'''' Ghost eximed with happiness and had to resist hugging. After the disappearance of his ''master'', he thought something terrible must have happened.


    ''''It must have been busy.'''' While patting Ghost''s shoulder, Isaac nodded in satisfaction as the business ran smoothly.


    ''''N-Not at all!'''' Ghost replied and stamped one of the books before returning it to the blushing customer, whose face changed shades after the appearance of the white-haired man.


    ''''Do you mind if you have to take care of things here for slightly longer?''''


    ''''Not at all!'''' Ghost replied energetically. Actually, he didn''t mind working in the bookstore. It was miles better than floating endlessly as a dead ghost.


    After patting his shoulder, Isaac left the store with light steps. The weather in Autumn Realm was quite chilly like the winter was right around the corner.


    Walking in the cobblestone streets, Isaac didn''t walk without direction. The coordinates in his mind showed him a direction. There was a special interface application where it was possible to put coordinates.


    That was added not long ago so that the friends could find each other without having to walk around blindly.


    The coordinates shone on his path, causing him to turn left and sometimes right. After entering a bustling market area, he heard an interesting conversation at the nearby coffee stand.


    ''''Still a few weeks wait. God damn it.'''' A clean-shaven man said with impatience.


    His friend wryly smiled, ''''The wait shall be worth it.''''


    ''''Don''t you think this is strange?'''' The clean-shaven man asked with a frown, ''''Lord Wraith and Lord Kalzer, whose fight was one dawn away, dyed one month. Then, both of them disappeared, and no one had seen them since then.''''


    ''''Well, they both are low-key yers.'''' His friend said while sipping on the coffee, ''''Maybe they are training. After all, the Colosseum will be packed, with millions of people watching via StreamKing. They both must be nerve-wrecked. It is the most anticipated fight.''''


    ''''Whatever. This wait sucks!''''


    ''''Anyway, did you hear about the Howling Forest?''''


    ''''Yeah... I wonder what the hell happened there. It suddenly exploded, maybe gas explosion?''''


    Hearing the conversation, a slight beat of heart resounded in Isaac''s ears. Saying that he didn''t feel pressure would be a lie. However, the pressure wasn''t as big as people expected.


    Shaking his head, Isaac continued walking in the direction of the coordinates. He walked past several streets, going past the marketce with roadside stalls and restaurants. With the food scent lingering in the air, he arrived at a decent-looking apartmentplex.


    The coordinates took him directly past the apartmentplex and forced him to turn left. After another minute of walking, the coordinates reached the end. He''d arrived at the location.


    ''''Eh, what the hell is this?'''' Frowning, Isaac looked at the dark-shadowed building with charred walls and color clearly peeled off from the walls.


    ''''Is this really the ce?'''' Checking the interface, Isaac saw that the coordinates were exactly as he remembered. There wasn''t a problem with not remembering the coordinates. They were quite simple.


    Pulling out Silvercloud, Isaac ventured inside the abandoned building. Within an instant, a charred scent assaulted his nostrils. It smelled like someone had burnt something not long ago.


    Walking further into the burned apartment, Isaac reached a living room. The furniture was nothing but a pile of ash, the firece looked scorched, and one of the walls had a previously ceiling-height bronze mirror. But now, it was a ck mirror with cracked ss.


    Creak, creak.


    The floor creaked under his height. After walking to the middle of the living room, Isaac stopped and gazed underneath his foot.


    ''The floorboard looks slightly loose. The screws are gone,'' Isaac knelt down and removed the floorboard. Beneath the floor, there was a dark abyss. The darkness swallowed the light, and it looked like the pit of the abyss had reached the center of the world.


    ''''This must be it.'''' Throwing the floorboard away, Isaac rolled up his sleeves and removed the rest of the floorboards. There looked to be some activity as all the screws were removed.


    ''''Kalzer, Xerxus, and Amour must have been here already¡­ and, looking at the tracks, they entered the dark pit.''''


    With a moment of thoughtfulness, Isaac stood up and cracked his neck, ''''All-or-nothing.''''


    With one step, he stepped into the dark abyss. His figure fell down like aet as he got engulfed in pitch darkness. The feeling of his body disappeared, and the far-away ceiling disappeared.


    The vision turned dark.


    When the breath started turning stiff, a spark of light appeared further down. At faraway, there was a whirling portal in the color green. The darkness steered away from the portal like they were too afraid to get close.


    Isaac''s breath started turning rapidly as he crossed his arms and fell directly into the portal. The whirling portal sshed like water before turning normal.


    Isaac vanished into the portal, and the floorboards fixed themselves in the building. The charred building turned quiet, and everyone walking past ignored the abandoned building.


    The children treated the building as a horror house, frightened by the idea of Ghosts lurking there. However, unknown to everyone, it was a pathway to the secret realm!


    ¡­


    Ding¡­ ding¡­ ding¡­


    ''''Argh¡­'''' The dinging noise echoed throughout Isaac''s mind, forcing him awake. After his eyes fluttered open, he saw a green hue nketing across the cloudless sky.


    The trees were firmly rooted on the ground, and the ground itself was grassless, quite crude like it''d suffered a drought.


    Isaac looked curiously around as he slowly stood up. Then, he noticed the holographic messages that floated across the air.


    [Wee to Realm of Marksmen!]


    [Only yers and New-Gen Humans with Marksmen upation or ss could enter!]


    [Stage 1 - Begin!]


    [Survive Till The Clock Breaks!]

 Chapter ?545 TICK-tock

    Chapter ?545 TICK-tock


    TICK-tock, TICK-tock.


    In the sky, a foggy clock with broken ss shone underneath a greenish sphere, the sun. The clock hands slowly ticked clockwise, the sound echoing far and wide.


    ''''Interesting¡­'''' Isaac murmured while caressing his beardless chin. Then, he steered his attention to the surrounding environment. While the ground looked terrible, the nearby forest flourished alongside the tall mountains and hills.


    However, those didn''t attract his attention. Slightly further away, there seemed to be a big city. Abandoned factories adorned half of the city, the tall pipes sendingyers of smoke to the sky.


    ''''Am I alone here?'''' Isaac wondered. However, the messages made him think otherwise. With such a message, it would be unlikely. However, who else would be able to find this ce?


    Or were there more entrances where both yers and New-Gen Humans could enter?


    ''Realm of Marksmen¡­'' Isaac began walking to the far-away city, the pir of smoke paving his way, ''If this is a realm for Marksmen¡­ it meant that Kalzer and others couldn''t be here. Meaning, there must be other realms for other sses, where they ended up.''


    ''But, what is the purpose for this Realm, and why did Arthur send us here?''


    While thinking about several things, Isaac didn''t focus his attention anywhere else. Therefore, he couldn''t notice a gun barrel that peeked through a burnt house''s cracked window. The barrel barely peered through the crack, and the cold-faced man slowly pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    Spurt!


    The bullet tore through Isaac''s right shoulder, making a sizeable hole. The white Camouge Outfit got stained in blood, forcing Isaac to his knees.


    ''''What the hell?!'''' Isaac held his bleeding shoulder and sprung to his feet. After kicking the ground, he explosively started running towards the far-away City. However, he was in the middle of a dead wastnd, without no cover, and the city was a kilometer away!


    The sound also attracted others. Several more gunshots reverberated across the sky. The bullets came from different directions, some from City and some from the mountains.


    Isaac pulled out a healing potion from his inventory and gulped it down. As the green liquid traversed through his throat, his bleeding wound healed. However, two other bullets tore straight through his body.


    ''''Argh!'''' The stinging feeling spread across Isaac''s body. The pain sensation was negligible, but it made him feel threatened.


    Bang, bang, bang, bang!


    This time, the number of bullets increased. Four sharp-looking bullets traversed across the air. The uracy was incredible, making Isaac impressed.


    ''Indeed Realm of Marksmen¡­ they aren''t some amateurs.'' With a blue pool forming around him, Isaac jumped to the side. However, only managed to dodge three bullets, one of the bullets turned in mid-air andnded on his forearm.


    ''''?!'''' With a shocked look, Isaac couldn''t help but admire, ''''Like a Homing Missile¡­''''


    [HP: 295/3705 - Hexagon Armor Effect!]


    [-5 HP]


    [-5 HP]


    Because of the bloody wounds, every second, Isaac lost five HP. However, as soon as the four bullets arrived, another rain of bullets came from in every direction.


    The sky was shrouded in ming bullets. Everyone in the nearby vicinity had already found out about his current whereabouts. There was no one that decided to turn their gaze away. Even killing one person would be a sessful day.


    Everyone here was amazing Marksmen. They are able to hide perfectly. Thus, some of the sniper matches take up to a week.


    ''''Haha¡­ I am in trouble.'''' Laughing with a strained look, Isaac weighed his opinions. There was less than a few seconds time to think. Even one bullet would kill him, making his mind think rapidly a decision.


    ''I can use Marksman of Space, but then what¡­'' The whistling sound grew near; the bullets were one second away fromnding on their targets.


    ''Do it, and don''t think!'' Isaac gritted his teeth and immediately activated Marksman of Space.


    The bullets rained on the wastnd, destroying it. Every Marksman removed their fingers from the triggers. No one could survive that. However, as soon as the cloud of dust cleared up, there wasn''t a hole-riddled corpse littering the ground. Instead, nothing!


    The Marksmen frowned and looked around the wastnd. A few sharp-eyed people noticed a silhouette running towards the City. For some reason, the white-haired person managed to travel the distance of five hundred meters in an instant.


    They shifted their aim, and after checking the wind speed and distance, they pulled the triggers. Another rain of bullets arrived in the sky; whoosh, and whoosh echoed.


    ''''Their eyesight is even better than mine¡­'''' While running away, Isaac thought with a strained chuckle. Even he wouldn''t be able to see his silhouette through ayer of dust. There were some Marksmen with inhuman eyesight.


    Isaac reached into the inventory and pulled out his precious Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle. He perked up his ears, counting the distance of the bullets. When he thought that they were only a second away from reaching his position, he spun around and fired.


    Bang!


    The bullet pierced through the air andnded on one of the enemy''s bullets, stunning the onlookers.


    ''''The bullet came from there¡­'''' Isaac narrowed his eyes and calcted the time it took the bullet to travel to his position. ording to him, the shooter must be near the mountain or even in the forest.


    However, Isaac decided that it was better to find a hide-out, to calm his thoughts. Soon, he reached the City. Every Marksmen in near vicinity lost sight of him.


    Soon, Isaac crashed into one of the abandoned buildings. The holes filled the walls, making it a terrible hide-out.


    However, after walking upstairs, it wasn''t as bad. The windows were non-existent, the floorboards broken. However, the walls were intact, even though slightly charred.


    Isaac slowly crawled onto the dusty ground, hiding behind one of the walls.


    ''''Haah¡­'''' Checking the HP, it already reached below 100!


    He quickly gulped down several healing potions. As the bottles continued vanishing into thin air, he soon reached his max health. However, there were only a few healing potions left.


    TICK-tock.


    The clock in the sky slowly ticked down. At this current speed, it would take 48 hours for it to reach the end. Meaning that the first Stage was far from beingpleted.


    The Marksmen hid in their spots, some enjoying dried meat while others stayed on the lookout.


    Then, at one of the caves near the mountain. A dark-clothed man murmured, ''''He looked exactly like him¡­''''


    [King us]


    [Level: 544]

 Chapter 546 Red Menace

    Chapter 546 Red Menace


    Two days ago.


    ''''¡­'''' King us, dressed in usual dark clothing adorned with a silver lining, walked in a damp forest. The chirping of the birds echoed in the background, the sky was blue, and distant clouds covered the sky.


    Ding, ding.


    ''''Argh, again.'''' With an irritated expression, he brushed off the messages. The context of the messages looked hostile, with death threats.


    ''''Hmph.'''' With a shake of the head, us walked deeper into the forest. The forest was called the Howling Forest, situated on the outskirts of the City of Fall.


    However, before he walked any deeper into the forest, his senses tickled. Frowning, he turned around, just to see nothing but the endless forest. There was no soul in sight.


    But us slowly touched the dark-clothed gun that hung over his left shoulder. Then, he took it into his arms and slowly caressed the metallic trigger.


    Swoosh!


    From the top of a branch-filled tree, two daggers shed through the air and flew directly toward him.


    us tilted his head left and right, and the daggers flew right past, barely grazing his cheeks. Then, an individual with a ck armory jumped off the tree, immediately recognized by us.


    ''''Lauren¡­'''' The voice oozed with hostility.


    ''''us¡­'''' Lauren said with anger, ''''You are done running away. You knew this was going to happen.''''


    ''''Hmph, pathetic.'''' us aimed, touched the trigger, and fired.


    Bang!


    ''''Heh.'''' Laurenughed coldly, reaching for the bullet, he clenched his hand into a fist, ''''Shadow Hand.''''


    From thin air, an hand made of shadowy mold blocked the bullet. Then, the shadowy hand stretched, the hand turned into a fist and released a punch.


    ''''Shadow Hand!'''' Without any dy, us copied the skill, and another shadowy hand appeared from thin air. However, it was slightly smaller. The copy ability''s limit became clearer as the levels turned over 400.


    The copy ability would only be stronger than the original if there was a gap of 50 levels. Until then, it would be at equal strength or weaker. In this case, Lauren was merely ten levels lower, meaning that his original ability was still stronger.


    ''''Hmph!'''' Lauren coldly humphed.


    The two shadowy fists collided, and the victor was immediately revealed. Lauren''s shadowy fist broke through us'' fist and continued its unstoppable journey.


    Extending his hand, us suddenly summoned seven identical-looking men, ''''The Seven.''''


    The shadowy fist collided with the first summon. The summon coughed blood and melted away like a doll. However, the shadowy fist also disappeared.


    us lifted the gun and was about to fire. However, then long ck whips pierced through the ground, cuffing all his limbs!


    ''''Shadowy Binds!'''' From Lauren''s fingers, the long ck whips seeped into the ground. The more he pulled, the tighter the cuffs got.


    With lips curving into a smile, Lauren said coldly, ''''You have gotten weaker!''''


    ''''H-Have I?'''' us uttered with slight difficulty as he tried to remove his limbs from the binds. However, couldn''t.


    ''''Now, you shall die as a traitor.'''' Lauren pulled out his dagger, the de styled like a tiger''s w.


    ''''Haaaahhh¡­'''' With a long, steady breath, us looked toward the cloudy sky. Then, from around the rims of his pupils, a red tint started spreading.


    ''''The Red Menace¡­''''


    Lauren pulled the ck whips tighter and finally moved forwards. As he walked next to us with the dagger in hand, he lifted it, prepared to plunge it into his heart.


    However, as soon as that thought arose in his mind, us'' figure mysteriously started glowing.


    ''''Hmm?'''' At first, the glow was dim, barely noticeable. But then, it became brighter and brighter until Lauren had to close his eyes before they would rupture!


    ''''ARGH, what the hell?!'''' He shouted while covering his face. The red glow engulfed the entire forest, even noticeable from the City of Fall!


    The citizens steered their gazes in the direction of the Howling Forest. Suddenly, it looked like a red sea had appeared in the forest.


    At the center of the red glow, us'' mouth stretched into a massive grin.


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!


    At the final countdown, the whole forest exploded!


    As the red glow acted as the dynamite and us'' grin as a detonator, a thick dust cloud in the form of a red rose appeared in the sky, stunning every onlooker and causing a sense of dread to spread among the mass!


    Lauren''s body was charred instantly. Nothing was left of him. Even he floated in the dark space where yers first appeared after the death.


    ''''Hah!'''' King us opened his eyes, and a foggy view extended into his view. Hey in the middle of the dust cloud, in the destroyed forest. The trees were gone, and the ground was charred.


    ''''Indeed¡­ the might of the Legacy Skills are not to be underestimated¡­'''' us muttered. However, he wasn''t satisfied with his legacy because he needed the legacy of the White Death toplete a secret quest. Without that, the chance of bing stronger was slim to none.


    [Name: King us]


    [Legacy: Vasily Zaytsev]


    Crack¡­


    ''''Eh?'''' Looking below, a crack at the size of a hair strand appeared. However, that crack soon turned far bigger, and the ground fell apart!


    Falling down to the hole, us'' scream echoed in the charred forest. However, no one heard him as the walls of the enormous hole muffled his shouts.


    However, soonter, his back crashed into a ground. Even the sound thud only echoed around these walls before disappearing.


    ''''What the hell?'''' Rubbing his aching head, he stood up to look around. The walls were dark, the ground grayish. As the dust cloud covered the forest, not even a shimmer of sunlight reached into the hole, making it eerily dark.


    However, at that moment, a sound of wind resounded before a tiny glow emerged from the distance. A whirling green portal appeared, at first, it was the size of a baby''s hand, but then it grew bigger. Now, it could fit an adult man with ease.


    ''''What is that?'''' With a strange sensation, us slowly walked to the whirling portal. He didn''t understand the current feeling he felt, but it felt like the portal was calling out for me. Like dropping here wasn''t a fluke, instead fate.


    Without noticing, he stepped into the whirling portal. The ground that got broken repaired itself, and the destroyed forest became the center of attention for the following week.

 Chapter ?547 Hazardous Forest

    Chapter ?547 Hazardous Forest


    Thwack, pow!


    ''''Die!'''' A thin-waisted man shouted, and his fist directly collided with a bushy-browed man''s cheek.


    ''''Damn!'''' Staggering backward, the man with bushy brows held his aching cheek.


    They stood in the middle of an abandoned building. There were two guns lying on the ground, looking to be sniper rifles.


    The thin-waisted man lunged forwards, trying to grab his gun from the floor. However, as if he anticipated it, the man with bushy brows kicked forth,nding directly on the thin-waisted man''s nose.


    Ptui!


    With a spurt of blue blood, the thin-waisted man crashed to the ground with his nose nting left, seemingly broken.


    ''''Damn, fucking bastard.'''' The man with bushy brows goes with the name of Death Sniper. He''s New-Gen Human. However, his strength with a sniper rifle was nearing the limit. He was a resident of the City of Fall, said to be one of the closest ones to reach the Winter Realm.


    The thin-waisted man was a yer with the nickname of SilentExpression.


    They both entered the Realm of Marksmen without a clue. They didn''t even know why they walked into the whirling green portal.


    ''''Urgh¡­'''' SilentExpression slowly tried to crawl towards his gun. However, Death Sniper kicked the gun away and picked up his own.


    ''''Any final words?'''' cing the barrel on the crawling man''s head, Death Sniper asked with a voice oozing with coldness.


    ''''I-I just think it''s bullshit¡­'''' SilentExpression uttered through bloodied teeth, ''''W-Why New-Gen Humans are allowed to kill us, and we not them? Fucking¡­ unfair.''''


    Bang!


    A single bullet tore through the skull, killing SilentExpression.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Death Sniper shifted his gaze from the bloodied corpse. However, all of a sudden, he noticed a reflection of a lensing from a nearby building, looking straight through the cracked window at him.


    ''''Oh, fuck¡­''''


    BANG!


    Death Sniper fell to the ground, a bloodied hole in his forehead.


    At the nearby building, a round-ssed man fixed the position of his sses as the recoil slightly pushed them up his nose bridge. His cold calmness didn''t leave his eyes even after killing someone.


    Somewhere in the world, both SilentExpression and Death Sniper appeared in a world of green. There was a clock hovering above them, slowly ticking down. However, as soon as they noticed each other, they began throwing punches.


    Thatsted an hour before both of them got thrown out of the green realm, appearing back in their homes in the City of Fall. Dying in the Realm of Marksmen wasn''t the end. Everyone who died there would get respawned at their homes.


    The cloud above the City of Factories raged with bullets and destruction. However, then another crack appeared in the clock, forcing the clock hand to move faster. There were only around 40 hours till the end.


    At the upstairs in abandoned building, Isaac leaned against the wall, with his stomach threatening to rumble. Unfortunately, he used all the rations during his journey in real-life. Now, he didn''t have any food, and he couldn''t log out either.


    However, at once, he spent seven days without food during a quest. That time, he also forgot to take food and had to suffer through it. Compared to that, two days was nothing.


    Taking out a fading-looking notebook with color gone from the cover, he flipped through the pages until he found an empty one. He wrote down the possible location of every nearby sniper.


    The sound of a gunshot, the vibrations in the window, and the distance of how quickly it traveled were good ways of finding out their location. However, it wasn''t perfect, but at least it was something.


    After writing it down, he ced the notebook on the inventory and yawned.


    ''''I wonder why Arthur send us here. This ce isn''t something I hadn''t already seen. However, that there are only Marksmen makes it slightly interested. Maybe he wants me to fight against other same ss yers and learn from them?''''


    ¡­


    At the Howling Forest, the volunteers, Martial Artists, and Guards of the City gathered in the forest to find the source of the sudden explosion, and make sure that the dangerous hazardous air couldn''t travel to the city.


    The Martial Artists were celebrities of the city, and them appearing was already a big moral boost.


    ''''Is this ce?'''' Then, a sweet voice traveled across the air, stunning many with her beauty.


    Luna stopped in front of the charred forest, half of her face covered in a cloth as protection from hazardous gases. Everyone looking at her felt their breath-stopping.


    ''''Luna, why did wee here?'''' A voice followed her, belonging to a sweet-looking Priestess. She was Isaac''s younger sister, Alice!


    The Priestess robed beautified her to no end, and with her cute round eyes, she looked like a sweet next-door-neighbor girl.


    Over a year ago, she started ying the game. In the first week, her talent shone on the world.


    [Name: Wondend]


    [Legacy: None]


    ''''I am just curious, that''s all,'''' Luna said while rubbing her hands. With her eyes shining like a beautiful pearl, she appeared to be excited.


    ''''Why didn''t youe here with brother?'''' Alice asked while asking curiously, ''''I am happy to be with you, but this feels like something brother enjoys.''''


    ''''He is busy¡­'''' Luna said with a pout, ''''Always busy¡­''''


    Alice shook her head with a wry smile, ''''Foolish brother¡­''''


    ''''Anyway, let''s enter!'''' Luna held Alice''s hand with excitement and was about to enter the forest. But then, a voice came from the direction of the Martial Artists.


    ''''Excuse me, lovelydies.'''' A handsomely-fitted man walked towards them with a cane in hand, a monocle adorning his right eye, ''''This ce might be dangerous with hazard gases, etc. Would you two want toe with us instead? We have antidote ready if needed.''''


    With a handsome smile, he expected that they would blindly follow him. The Martial Artist status already made him a crown jewel in the eyes of ordinary people, and not many would reject his advances.


    However, these two girls didn''t even blink as they brushed past him,pletely ignoring his existence.


    With mouth agape, he watched as the two girls entered the forest amid giggles like they didn''t even hear him!

 Chapter 548 Tournament of Champions

    Chapter 548 Tournament of Champions


    The sky above Ind Picu raged with lightning. The forest swarmed with Souldeath soldiers. However, there was one ce where they didn''t go yet¡ªthe sharp, deadly mountain.


    At the bottom of the mountain, sharp, knife-like boulders poked through the earth, strewn across the ground. No one dared to climb the mountain because it seemed to be suicide.


    However, the Dark Kings currently ventured near the mountain, thinking about climbing.


    The helicopters flew across the ind, and warships surrounded it.


    Inside the mountain, in a secret room¡­


    ''''¡­'''' With flickering light, Arthur moved the lightbulb to shine on the broken-looking headset. The color white had peeled off, making it look rusty.


    It was the first-ever Mythical VR Helmet, the prototype version.


    As time went by, the Mythical VR Helmet started rusting and in the end, broke apart.


    For a day now, Arthur tried fixing it. Without the helmet, his stay on the ind Picu would be worthless.


    With the screwdriver in hand, he removed the screws and took a peek inside the headset, filled with wires and electricponents.


    ''''Hmm¡­ one of the wires is loose, probably causing the headset to disconnect.'''' After removing the rest of the screws, the headpiece tumbled off andnded on the desk. cing the screwdriver in his mouth, he grabbed the unsafe wire and yanked it slightly.


    As he expected, the wire severed from theponents.


    Shaking his head, Arthur threw the broken wire off and rummaged through drawers. There were several other viable wire options, but he took one of the oldest ones that didn''t look that safe. However, he felt confident as he started connecting it to the headgear.


    Then, as the wire let out crackling sounds, it seemed to have connected. However, Arthur''s job wasn''t done here. Yesterday, he fixed several other wires, but most of theponents seemed corrupted.


    Therefore, he again used the screwdriver, removed theponents, and reced them with new ones.


    After checking the rest of it, everything seemed alright. Then, after connecting the headpiece back to the headset, he tried pressing the button, hoping it worked.


    Like magic, the visor started beeping, showing rows of words. However, the headset was unnecessarily loud.


    ''''Still as loud as ever¡­'''' Arthur murmured. It was the biggest problem with the prototype¡ª loudness. Thus, the following products focused on minimizing sound.


    ''''It works¡­'''' said Arthur as he ced it back on the desk. Then, he flipped open the slightly brokenptop and flinched as the screen showed an umon message. However, the screen shed and crackled like it was on near breaking point.


    [Tournament¡­ of¡­ Cha¡­]


    [Begin¡­]


    Before theptop exploded, he closed it and leaned against the chair, tapping his foot against the floor.


    ''''It had begun¡­ I wonder how they are doing¡­''''


    ¡­


    ''''What happened here?'''' Alice asked as she slowly stepped over burnt tree barks and scorched earth.


    Luna wondered that too. The scene was like from apocalypse movie she watched with Isaac a few months ago.


    The scent was stuffy, making everyone frown ufortably.


    Kneeling on the ground, Luna grabbed a handful of ash and closed her eyes. Then, she pursed her lips and inhaled softly out.


    ''''Whooo¡­'''' The ash flew out of her grasp. However, as it floated aimlessly in the air, a path started appearing.


    Alice leaned against her priestess cane, amazed at Luna''s magical abilities. The ash she blew acted as some sort of Guard.


    It was one of her Unique Spells, created solely by herself. The ash would act as a ''person'' that was almost like a witness to the horrible things that happened in the forest.


    The core of the ash came from the burnt trees, and some of those trees must have seen what happened. Even though they were dead back then, with Luna''s magic, they were always ''alive''.


    Luna softly opened her eyes. She heard the ''voices'' of the floating ash. They were telling her to follow them.


    ''''Let''s go.'''' She said and picked up her pace.


    ''''Right!'''' Alice followed after with the cane lightly tapping against the charred ground.


    The ashes softly floated across the air beforending on the ground. They were almost unnoticeable in the scorched ground. However, Luna could feel their presence.


    ''''It happened here,'''' Luna said and touched the still-hot ground.


    ''''Wow.'''' Alice whistled as she looked around. Not far away, there was supposed to be a medium-sized mountain, but now a huge chunk of it had fallen to the ground.


    ''''Something¡­ is hidden in the ground.'''' Opening her cloudy eyes, Luna pulled out her wand and pointed it at the ground.


    Alice pointed the cane at the ground, ready to release some of her Faith Magic.


    The tip of the wand shone, breaking the ground slightly apart. As if the ground was a bar of chocte, it cracked, revealing a world of the abyss beneath.


    ''''¡­'''' Luna felt a strange feeling of palpation in her heart like something was calling out to her. Slowly, she reached her arm into the dark abyss, nearly falling.


    ''''Luna?'''' Alice frowned and soon realized that something was wrong. Her eyes widened in panic, and she stretched her hand forth, but toote.


    Luna''s figure softly fell through the hole, going deep into the abyss.


    ''''Luna!'''' Running next to the hole, Alice shouted till her voice shook. However, as soon as she glimpsed the dark abyss, her motions turned stiff. With erratic breathing, she took another step forward and fell into the dark abyss.


    ¡­


    ''''Oww¡­'''' Rubbing her aching butt, Luna slowly sat up, opening her foggy eyes. Before even taking a clearer look, her eyes widened in shock. She sat on top of a factory building, the sky covered by ashen clouds, and the air smelled terrible.


    ''''W-Where am I?'''' Looking around, the whole world seemed quiet. There was nothing there.


    [Wee to Realm of Witches!]


    ''''Realm¡­ of Witches?'''' Murmuring, she slowly stood up. As her blue eyes gazed to the horizon, there was no one in sight. The Realm was made for Witches, and since there were only two Witches in existence, Luna and Hecate¡­ she happened to be currently the only one in the world!


    [Congrattions!]


    [You Passed First Stage!]


    [Second Stage - Team-Up!]


    [The Second Stage of Tournament of Champions Shall Begin!]


    [Good Luck, Night!]

 Chapter ?549 Heat Destruction

    Chapter ?549 Heat Destruction


    TICK-tock¡­


    The destroyed clock continued ticking, the time showing barely 1 hour.


    The green sun shone upon the smoking City, illuminating the streets in a lime color.


    Within the abandoned building, Isaac cleaned the gun with a white rag. The sound had turned dull, the previous mayhem long gone.


    Isaac nned to simply wait until the clock hits zero, or ''breaks''. However, the game obviously had other ns.


    In everyone''s vision, a message appeared.


    [Dear Contenders!]


    [Hour Left Till Stage Two!]


    [Everyone with zero kills shall be eliminated!]


    [Kills: 0]


    Isaac dropped the cleaning rag and clicked his tongue, ''''Didn''t bother to mention that ten hours ago?''''


    As soon as Isaac finished reading, the green sky turned dull, and the sun disappeared. Everything turned dark, but then a shimmer of light came from the glowing clock. However, it barely lit up the streets, leaving the buildings pitch dark.


    Standing up to his feet, Isaac cracked his neck and slowly walked down the stairs. Immediately after reaching the bottom floor, the battered walls entered his view, giving zero cover.


    Like clockwork, the sky shone as several shes appeared in the distance. The yers started using their skills, lighting up the sky in a radiant glow.


    Isaac''s eyes widened, and he immediately hid behind one of the broken walls. The light shone on his building, lighting it up. Everyone in the vicinity would have noticed him if he didn''t hid.


    Crack¡­


    ''''?!'''' Whipping his head around, Isaac''s facial expression fell apart as the wall copsed. As a result, the whole building started falling via the domino effect, making an immensely loudmotion!


    ''''Shit!'''' Rushing out of the building, Isaac entered the streets, trying to enter the opposite building. However, there were yers and New-Gen Humans hiding near. They turned their guns toward him, and fired.


    ''''Marksman of Space!'''' With no other choice, he teleported away, and his previous spot got sted to smithereens.


    He appeared on top of one of the factories, giving him a great vantage spot, and allowing him to see every street clearly. But he knew that ce like this couldn''t be left unused.


    Turning around, he saw a shimmer of lensing from the sniper rifle''s scope.


    Bang!


    nting his head to the left, the bullet grazed past his cheek.


    Isaac pulled out Silvercloud, smashing the trigger as he returned counter-fire.


    Bang!


    The man hiding jumped out of the way,nding on top of the balcony before rushing inside the dark factory.


    Isaac nced at the clock. The clock hand ticked down with terrifying speed. It felt like the time could stop at any moment.


    ''''I have no other choice¡­ time to st his ce apart!'''' Aiming the barrel at the rooftop, Isaac pulled the trigger via using Seismic-Wave!


    The barrel trembled and pulsated. As soon as the waves of shockwaves resounded, the rooftop began falling apart and crashing down.


    Isaac jumped off the rooftop,nding at the entrance of the entrance. Then, he pulled out his dagger with his left hand and pulled out his Silvercloud with his right hand.


    Bam!


    The door explosively opened, revealing the hiding man. He wore a mask, obscuring his face.


    The clock''s light shone on his weapon, revealing a unique-looking weapon, slightly simr to Mosin-Nagant, and it also had a steel de attached.


    Without hesitation, he plunged the de into Isaac''s chest.


    However, the de mysteriously phased through him.


    ''''Wraith''s Shot¡­ Human Version.'''' Isaac muttered softly. He applied the Wraith''s Shot to his avatar, making his body transparent!


    ''''Tsk, skillful as ever...'''' The masked man, at first, clicked his tongue but then had to admire the skill the white-haired man showed. Not many could apply their skills to their avatar bodies, and even fewer could use them in real life.


    Isaac''s hand caught the sniper rifle''s barrel and slowly removed the de from his body. As his body lost its transparency, Isaac raised his dagger and shed with it.


    The masked man pulled his head back, the dagger barely cutting the strands of his mask.


    Then, the masked man removed his grip from the sniper and pulled out pair of daggers from his back.


    Isaac threw the gun away and stepped back. The distance was now merely a meter, enough to sh with their daggers.


    Both of them squinted their eyes, waiting for the others to move.


    However, at that moment, the light shone in the sky, blinding everyone.


    ''''Comet Party!'''' A singr voice echoed across the air. Following that, dozens ofets appeared above the clouds, lighting the sky in crimson. Theets crashed through the City walls and buildings, causing everything to be lit in a glorious ze!


    Without hesitation, the masked man shed with his daggers, using theet shower as a distraction.


    Isaac stepped to the side, dodging the daggers. Then, he stabbed the single dagger forward, piercing through the air.


    The masked man shed upwards with the right dagger, parrying Isaac''s dagger. Then, he pierced forwards with the left dagger, aiming at Isaac''s waist.


    Isaac raised his left knee and kneed the dagger away. As he stopped holding the dagger, allowing it to fly away, he lifted the Silvercloud and fired simultaneously.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    The masked man crossed his arms and deflected the bullets with the dagger, showing extremely skilled swordsmanship skills.


    The bullets slingshotted away, hitting far-away buildings.


    ''What great skills!'' Isaac marveled at the scene in front, ''With such skills. He must be Martial Artist in real-life. But, why is he using Marksman ss?''


    ''''HEAT VISION!''''


    A reality-breaking scene happened right in front of his face. The masked man''s eyes shone in crimson as two beams of heat vision pierced through the mask, burning through the air.


    ''This ability seems familiar¡­ is it him?!'' Isaac jumped out of the way and continued running away as the heat vision followed right after. Everything lit aze as surrounding buildings got charred to ash.


    ''''Haha¡­ Wraith!'''' The mask burnt apart, revealing a familiar face.


    ''''ckNight!'''' Isaac cried out as he jumped out of the Heat Vision''s way.


    Slowly, the Heat Vision disappeared.


    ''''Heh¡­'''' ckNight cracked his knuckles, his eyes shining in crimson, ''''Heat Destruction!''''


    WHOOOSH!

 Chapter 550 Second Stage of the Tournament

    Chapter 550 Second Stage of the Tournament


    ckNight''s eyes looked almost like rubies. The pupils cast an enigmatic glow. A crimson heat traversed through his body, causing the veins to protrude. The crimson heat looked like a snake, coiling inside the body, moving closer to the eyes.


    Then, as the crimson heat reached the eyes, the pupils whirled around like a portal made of blood. As the heart pounded, the Heat Destruction left through the eyes, scorching the earth and air.


    The Heat Destruction was like Heat Vision but far more destructive. Thus, its name had the word Destruction.


    Red currents of electricity whirled around the Heat Beam. It continued spearing through the air, forcing everyone to stand aside.


    Isaac disappeared into a cloud of star particles. Luckily, the Marksman of Space finished its cooldown. He appeared on top of a smoking chimney, watching the scene unfold. The Heat Destruction speared through half of the City, most likely killing several people in the process.


    Lifting his chin, gazing at the ticking clock, a severe frown appeared on Isaac''s forehead. The TICK-tock was the sound of nightmares. It was as if the clock counted time till his death.


    ¡­


    While the Tournament of Champions was running, mayhem was happening in the God Realm.


    Inside a golden office, with everything made of gold and silver.


    Odin, The Supreme God, impatiently tapped his finger against the cover of the book thaty on the desk. The atmosphere was tense. As the tap, tap sound grew louder, the door creaked open, revealing Loki in his greenish outfit with a two-horned helmet.


    ''''Father.'''' Loki yfully skipped to the desk, leaning on it while showing a childish grin, ''''You called for me?''''


    ''''Thor is missing,'''' Odin said seriously. His eyes were unfocused and cold.


    Loki''s yful grin disappeared. Waving his left hand, he said, ''''He must be somewhere in Human Realm. You know how much he likes those human females.''''


    Giving a yful wink, he expected to see the tense atmosphere dispersing. But that wasn''t the case.


    Odin looked coldly at him, brows arched up, ''''This is not a joking matter!'''' His voice boomed in God Realm, scaring the denizen.


    Loki shrugged his shoulders and got seated in thefy seat. Crossing his legs, he asked, ''''So, any idea where he is?''''


    Odin''s battle-hardened gaze turned to the clean window towards the bluish sky, ''''I sent him to Saturn.''''


    ''''Saturn?'''' Loki frowned, asking, ''''Why there?''''


    ''''Demons appeared there¡­'''' Odin leaned his cheek against his fist, ''''I told him to go eliminate them.''''


    ''''I see.'''' Loki thought it was something far more dangerous. Showing a grin, he said, ''''Then, what is the problem? He must be still busy killing those insects.''''


    ''''It was a few weeks ago,'''' Odin said with a cold voice.


    Loki''s face froze. To kill low-leveled Demons wouldn''t take them even an hour. However, if one of the Demon Generals or even Demon Lords appeared, everything would be different.


    ''''Do you want for me to go investigate?''''


    ''''And lose both my sons, hmph.'''' Odin shook his head, ''''We need to expect the worst. If something happened, Thor would have sent a raven as the messenger. However, I have heard nothing from him.''''


    ''''Then, what should we do? This isn''t a small matter.''''


    Odin tore his gaze away from the bluish sky and painfully said, ''''We need to think about the future. There is nothing we can do for Thor.''''


    Loki''s face showed clear shock. It was clear as day that Thor was the favorite son. This affected him greatly because he wasn''t favored, and if he were in Thor''s stead, they wouldn''t think twice before abandoning him.


    He didn''t know whether he should feel happiness or sadness.


    ¡­


    TICK-tock.


    The time continued flowing smoother, and the cracks thickened in the clock. Only ten minutes remained till it reached zero.


    The Realm of Marksmen darkened by the ck sheet that covered the sky. Distant shes of light didn''t help as the fights turned scarcer. More and more Marksmen managed to get their first kill and immediately hopped back to their hiding spots.


    A sole white-haired youth ran across the streets, checking the cramped-up alleys, but found nothing. Searched every building, found no one. With sweat mixing with his brows, Isaac started growing more anxious.


    Crkkk¡­


    Coming to a halt, Isaac looked around the dark alleys, streets, and buildings. He felt like screaming, but that would be no use. There wasn''t a soul in sight, as if he had walked in a deserted city.


    TICK-tock¡­


    CRACK!


    The loudest crack to the date resounded in the City. The ss cracked from the middle, splitting the clock in half!


    TICK-tock¡­


    Slowly, the clock ticked closer to zero. Barely a minute was left.


    ''''Sigh¡­'''' Isaac shook his head and sat on the trash-filled streets, exhausted. It was impossible to find Marksmen who didn''t want to be found. They all were World-ss Snipers, perfect at what they were doing.


    After the scene with ckNight, he had to run away. The Heat Destruction caused far too muchmotion, making him hesitate whether he should duel it out. In the end, he decided not to, and it might have been the wrong decision.


    TICK-tock¡­


    Crack¡­


    After another crack appeared, the clock was only ten seconds from hitting zero.


    ''''Zero kills get you eliminated¡­'''' Murmuring, Isaac pulled out Silvercloud. The beautiful lining and carving made its preciousness clear. It was perhaps one of the most beautiful guns avable. Everyone with a keen eye for details would love to have them in their possession.


    ''I wonder if losing here means death¡­ what if there is a one-week cooldown from gaming? That would suck.''


    CRACK!


    Thest crack resounded in the air. The clock finally reached zero. Immediately, the Marksmen''s screams of joy reverberated from a distance.


    ''''Must be fun.'''' Sighing, Isaac pushed the gun''s barrel into his mouth and pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    [You Killed Yourself!]


    [Kill: 1]


    [Congrattions!]


    [You Passed First Stage!]


    [Second Stage - Team-Up!]


    [The Second Stage of Tournament of Champions Shall Begin!]


    [Good Luck, Wraith!]


    To sessfully clear the first stage needed a kill. Therefore, Isaac''sst desperate attempt was to kill himself. He''d noticed that the rules in White Online events were loose. There were always loopholes, fitting the ones with brains.

 Chapter ?551 Zachary The Doll

    Chapter ?551 Zachary The Doll


    [The Stage Two Begins]


    [Mode: Team-Up]


    [Gather Points To Enter Final Stage]


    [Points: 0]


    After the barren wastnd with drought-suffered earth and factory-filled city, the second stage''s realm was vastly different.


    With a cloudless blue sky, flourishing earth, shining sun, beautiful grasnds, deepkes, and far-away mountains, the ce looked like a paradise.


    Then, hundreds of shining lights descended from a ripple in the air, carrying yers and New-Gen Humans from different realms. Everyone gathered,ing from different ss Reams. It was time for everyone to gather under the same sky. However, it wasn''t a solopetition.


    With hundreds of mountains littering the outskirts of the Realm, they were homes for the yers and New-Gen Humans. Inside every mountain, there was a cave created to be their living quarters until this stage was over.


    Unknown to the public, one of the strongest yers gathered in the same event, which was still kept under wraps. In the future, this would be known as the Tournament of Champions, The Beta Version.


    ¡­


    In the outside world, the public had already noticed the strange disappearance of the Top yers. At first, Kalzer, and his assumed opponent, Wraith, disappeared. Then, more yers started disappearing, and they had a hunch that something was happening.


    At the core of the News Stations, they checked their reporters every hour. However, none of them found anything about it. It was like they were swallowed up by the earth.


    However, it was only a matter of time before everyone found out, and it would be the start of the storm that would snowball till the fated match between Isaac and Kalzer.


    ¡­


    With a soft breeze caressing his face, Isaac slowly opened his eyes. Immediately he felt an ufortable feeling spreading across his back like he was lying on sandpaper.


    Looking down, his so-called ''bed'' was made of rock, extremely hard and very unpleasant. Then, turning around the cave, it looked like a small room for two.


    At the end of the cave, there was another rocky bed, which happened to be empty. However, Isaac could hear soft footstepsing from outside the cave, where a shimmer of light seeped through.


    Standing up, he stepped out of the cave and was greeted with the soft wind, swaying trees, and calming grass.


    "Oh, are you my teammate?" A voice cut off his thoughts. In the deeper forest, a ginger-haired youth plucked flowers while noticing the white-haired youth.


    "Eh, who are you?" Isaac didn''t act hostile because there was a strange red symbol hovering above the ginger-haired youth. It was ''X''. Isaac assumed that he was his teammate, which also meant that team killing was forbidden.


    "My name is Zachary. Nice to meet ya!" The ginger-haired youth patted the dirt off his hands, then stood up and offered his hand for a handshake.


    Isaac slowly shook his hand, frowning as he scanned his so-called teammate. Teaming up with a stranger wasn''t that pleasant because there were many things that could go wrong.


    "How far have you explored?" After asking, Isaac noticed theck of emotion in Zachary''s eyes, like he was an emotionless doll. However, the smile on his face managed to fool the onlookers.


    Removing his hand, Zachary shrugged his shoulders while shaking his head, "Not really. I just thought that the flowers looked nice, so I decided to pluck them!"


    "Right¡­" Isaac brushed past him, motioning him to follow, "We should explore the surrounding area."


    "Right, can''t." Zachary yfully saluted as he followed after. The eternal grin didn''t leave his face. That made him look strange, also creepy.


    Leaving the forest, there was an endless grasnd surrounded by the verdant forest.


    ''How are we supposed to receive points?'' Isaac thought while caressing his clean-shaven face.


    Zachary leaned on the tree bark, fiddling with the flower. As his emotionless eyes saw the petals, he slowly plucked them and ripped them apart. He continued doing that till the flower was nothing but a dead petalless flower.


    "Hehe¡­" Throwing the dead flower away, Zachary licked his lips as he looked at Isaac''s white hair, ''Such deep death scent.''


    Feeling chills running down his back, Isaac turned to look at Zachary with a frown deepening on his face, "What are you doing?"


    "What?" Zachary innocently blinked, feigning ignorance.


    "Sigh¡­" Isaac heaved a sigh, rubbing his forehead, ''Out of all yers in the world, I got him.''


    "Hey, look." Zachary, with a grin, pointed his long index finger at a faraway distance. At the edge of the forests, dozens, no¡­ hundreds, of yers, and New-Gen Humans popped out. They were all checking the realm, shocked at they were basically trapped in a circle.


    On the outskirts, there were mountains that made a circle. Then, there was a forest, acting as cover for the caves. Lastly, the enormous grasnd that worked as the center of the circle.


    No one could see the yer''s faces. They were all obscured by a shadowy veil.


    "Shall we return?" Zachary asked, looking amused, "I don''t like the look in their eyes."


    "Yeah¡­" While the shadowy veils obscured the faces, the eyes were clear as the sky. And currently, everyone looked hostile at everyone, even their teammates.


    Turning around, both Zachary and Isaac ventured back to the cave. Moving onto the dark cave, they checked whether there was anything left behind by the creators of this ce. There wasn''t.


    Only the two rocky beds. Everything else had to be manually created by the two.


    While Isaac focused on gathering his thoughts, Zachary tried to pull out his weapons to no avail.


    "Yo, we can''t use our weapons," Zachary said while facing his bed, showing his back to Isaac.


    "Eh?" Raising his head, Isaac looked surprised. The two guns still hung from his holsters, the dagger hidden deep in his camouge outfit.


    Touching Silvercloud, he pulled it out of the holster.


    ''Silvercloud?''


    ''I am still here and usable.''


    ''Others can''t use weapons, but I can?''


    ''Hmph, we are different from the usual creations of the systems! But that still doesn''t mean you will be unrivaled. There are people with weapons that can be used even though there is this restriction¡­


    ''Like, this your teammate, he is hiding something. Move with extreme caution.''


    ''Alright, thanks.'' Before Zachary noticed his weapons, he put them inside the Inventory and sighed, "Yeah, I can''t use either."


    "Strange, ain''t it?!" Zachary''s heartyughter echoed in the cave.

 Chapter 552 Queens

    Chapter 552 Queen''s


    Before the scene in the grasnds, the shes of lightnded on the caves, slowly turning into humans.


    "Hi¡­ there?"


    Hearing a strange voice, Luna''s eyes fluttered open. She noticed a strange rocky ceiling and felt tiny sharp rocks poking at her lower back.


    "Mou¡­" Letting out a strange sound, Luna rubbed her tired eyes, slowly getting used to the strange atmosphere.


    At the other side of the cave, a strange round-headed girl watched with fascination as Luna slowly moved to sit up, her eyes glimmering with expectation.


    "W-Who?" Luna''s vision cleared up, revealing the strange girl. As the rock rolled down the floor, she pulled out her wand, the tip shining in blue, "Who are you?!"


    "Hey, easy!" The strange girl waved her hand erratically, her face flushed, "I am your teammate, nice to meetcha!"


    "That ent¡­ you are from Summend''s Southern Tribe, aren''t you?" Luna asked while still keeping her guard up.


    "Oh, you have heard about us?" The strange girl pped her hand with excitement, "Your face, pale, and beautiful as snow. You are definitely from Wintend."


    Luna didn''t answer as she looked around the dimly-lit cave. Then, she noticed the way outside. Standing up, she headed out of the cave, the vast view stretching before her eyes.


    The strange girl followed with quick and nimble steps, "Hey, what do you think Tournament of Champions is about?"


    "No idea," Luna replied while moving her finger across the white tree bark. She hadn''t seen such a strange tree before.


    "Hey, I see something." The strange girl tugged Luna''s shirt and pointed in the direction of the forest.


    Luna nced at her hand that touched the hem of her clothes, ''Why is she acting so familiar?''


    At that moment, Luna noticed the strange ''X'' red symbol floating above the strange girl''s auburn hair.


    ''Team killing isn''t allowed, hmm.'' That caused a slight weight to get lifted off her shoulders. At least now, there wouldn''t be danger of her backstabbing during the night hour.


    She and the strange girl ventured into the forest, heading to the edge. Soonter, they moved out of the security of the trees, entering the vast grasnd.


    "Wow!" The strange girl eximed, covering her eyes from the sunray, "So bright and beautiful."


    However, Luna noticed a silhouette of hundreds of people walking out of the forests.


    ''Tournament of Champions¡­ I wonder if my hubby is here.'' Thinking thoughtfully, Luna tried to see whether Isaac was also there. However, a thin veil obscured everyone''s faces.


    "We should return." Luna shook the strange girl out of a daze.


    "Ah, alrighty!" The strange girl beamed into a smile and followed Luna back to the forest. Soon, they returned to the cave.


    "By the way, what is your name?" The strange girl asked, hopping in front of Luna, waiting for answers.


    "Night," Luna replied with her in-game name, not bothering to think of a fake in-game name.


    "Ah, nice to meetcha again. My name is Cecilia, Queen Cecilia!"


    "Eh, queen?" Luna flinched and stopped in her tracks. She knew that there was a Beta Tester who went by the name of Queen Cecilia. She was said to be a powerhouse of Swordsman ss. However, by developing that ss, it turned into her unique ss, Swordswoman.


    "Hehe, yup!" Like she was proud of that fact, Cecilia flicked her nose, puffing her chest with pride.


    Luna''s beautiful blue eyes widened in surprise. She thought that the strange girl wasn''t much. However, she''d heard rumors of Queen Cecilia, and everyone who underestimated her would be the one to bite the dust. She was powerful.


    "By the way, I have heard this name of¡­ Night." Cecilia''s sweet grin appeared on her face, eyes shining with expectation, "Bookstore Goddess, I think that was the title? That description would fit you."


    "And if I was that person, then what?" Luna asked while standing head-taller than Cecilia. Even though she was only 165cm tall, Cecilia was even shorter.


    "So, that means you are Wraith''s girlfriend. Kyaa!" Out of nowhere, Cecilia cried out like a little girl. Face flushed in excitement.


    "And what if I am?" Luna asked with pursed lips. The fact that her rtionship with Isaac was that known made her quite embarrassed.


    "Hehe." Cecilia sat on her rocky bed, crossing her legs, "I want to hear all about it! Please, tell me how you two met!"


    Luna''s face flushed pink. Last year, she broke out of her innocent shell after that experience in the hospital. However, it was still inside her. When talking with strangers, she acted carefully, unlike before.


    But, when she had something inmon, she would turn back into her innocent self.


    Sitting next to Cecilia, her cute face flushed even deeper red as Cecilia stared at her with shining eyes.


    "Alright, but shh, don''t tell anyone." Showing a shh expression, Luna looked at her sincerely.


    Cecilia traced her finger across her soft lips, showing that she zipped her lips.


    Luna opened her mouth, beginning to tell a story. While every other team focused on forcing their defenses, the two girls spoke about romance.


    ¡­


    "Hey, you, wake up." A beautiful blond-haired woman grabbed a stick from the ground and poked gently on the shoulder of an adorable ck-haired girl. After seeing the girl moving like she was in a deep dream, she sighed and threw the stick away.


    "Team-up mission, are you kidding me?" Sighing with irritation, the blond-haired woman stood up, the armory clinking as it tightly hugged her voluptuous body. She looked like an attractive middle-aged woman with the curves of a woman in her twenties.


    "W-Where am I?" Then, the ck-haired girl woke up from her deep sleep. She immediately saw an attractive middle-aged woman staring down at her. The air turned silent. Neither spoke or blinked.


    "Hmm, should we introduce ourselves?" The attractive middle-aged woman awkwardly scratched her cheek, "I am not too familiar with dealing with strangers¡­"


    "O-Oh¡­" The ck-haired young woman sat up, her ck hair flowing over her shoulders, "M-My name is Wondend. Nice to meet you."

 Chapter ?553 The Appearances of Top Players

    Chapter ?553 The Appearances of Top yers


    Surprisingly, the young woman was Alice, Isaac''s sister. After entering the dark abyss, and whirling portal, she appeared in a Realm of Priests. However, as soon as she opened her eyes, she received a message that she had somehowpleted the first stage.


    Shockingly, no one in that realm killed others. Thus, the system decided that three random yers or New-Gen Humans would enter the Second Stage. With a stroke of luck, Alice was one of them.


    ''''My name is Queen Eliza.'''' The blond-haired woman extended her hand for a handshake.


    ''''Ah.'''' Alice looked surprised as she grabbed her somewhat rough hand. At first, she was shocked to hear her name. Queen Eliza was one of the top yers alongside Kalzer, Xerxus, Amour, and Noelle from day one.


    On top of that, Queen Eliza was said to be the strongest Knight in the game.


    ''''I haven''t heard about you before¡­'''' Eliza said while removing her hand, ''''What is your ss? We need to work together to win this stage.''''


    ''''Priestess.'''' Alice tried to pull out her Priestess cane from the Inventory, but to no avail, ''''Eh? I can''t take my weapon?''''


    ''''Priestess¡­'''' Eliza frowned. She knew that it wasn''t an attack ss. The Faith Stat would give the Priest and Priestesses the ability tomunicate with gods and provide the ability to buff allies and debuff enemies.


    However, high-ranked Priests and Priestesses have the ability to borrow skills from the Gods. It was called Divine Magic. However, they were a rarity. Only yers who have passed a certain threshold were called ''Divine Priest'', and ''Divine Priestess''.


    ''If she hadn''t reached that level, she wouldn''t be much help.'' Eliza thought with a deep frown.


    Alice curiously looked at the surrounding walls. Then, she noticed a hidden clock deeply hidden beneath the dust.


    ''''Look, Eliza!''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Eliza turned to the wall. At first, didn''t see anything. However, then she could hear the tiny clicking noise, and the dust slowly cleared from the way as Alice cleaned the wall.


    A mechanical clock, deeply stuck in the wall, showed the time limit and the number of points they had.


    ''''Good job.'''' Eliza patted her soft hair. However, at that moment pulled her hand back and flushed in embarrassment.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Alice curiously looked at her, blinking innocently.


    ''Seeing her made me think my daughter¡­ how embarrassing.'' Eliza turned around, hiding her flushed face.


    Alice tilted her head in confusion. However, at that moment, she noticed the outdoors filled with beautiful nature.


    ''''Look!''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Eliza shook the embarrassment off her face and turned to see the direction where Alice pointed. They both saw a flourishing forest and decided to go check it out.


    ¡­


    Tap, tap, tap.


    Kalzer tapped his foot against the rocky ground, holding his ck-shafted spear. Below his feet, a bruised man knelt on the ground with humiliation flickering off his face.


    ''''Why did you attack me?'''' Kalzer said while clicking his tongue at the ''X'' mark. He could only do some visible damage to his teammate but not kill. The Health Bar didn''t go below 1 HP.


    ''''I-I thought you were an enemy.'''' The bruised man said in a low tone.


    ''''Are you blind or what? I have an X mark hovering above my head. What did you think that was?'''' Kalzer spat facts with cold look.


    ''''I-I am sorry Lord Kalzer.'''' The bruised man lowered his head further. Since the Starting Vige, he''d been a powerful leader of an influential Party. They cleared all sorts of quests and dungeons.


    However, in front of legendary Kalzer, he was nothing but an ordinary yer. That fact caused a fire of anger to burn in his heart. There was a dream which included fame and wealth inside his mind. However, today, he hit an enormous wall, which looked unclimbable.


    ''''Tsk.'''' Kalzer looked around, and seeing the rocky walls with dusty texture, he knew this was one of the ''Living Quarters'' of the event. This wasn''t the first event that had those.


    ''''Fine, do you want to be useful?'''' Realizing something, Kalzer asked.


    ''''Y-Yes?'''' The bruised man raised his head, asking with curiosity.


    ''''Go fetch some sticks, and maybe cut down a tree or two.'''' Kalzer nced at his teammate''s axe. Hunter. With that ss, cutting down trees should be a piece of cake.


    ''''O-Okay¡­'''' That order made the fire of anger burn even hotter. Usually, he would be the one giving orders while others had to listen or die. Now, the roles were reversed.


    However, he gulped down his anger and pride. Heading out to the forest, he started picking up sticks, and after that, he raised his axe and swung it on the tree. With a single strike, the axe reached halfway into a tree, enough to make it fall.


    Inside the cave, Kalzer had already found the dusty clock. Slowly the point count rose by one after the sound of the first tree crashing down echoed.


    ''Hacking down trees give at least one point¡­''


    ¡­


    ''''L-Lord Amour¡­''''


    ''''You must be fucking with me.'''' Amour rolled his eyes while resting his two-handed axe over his left shoulder. On the other side of the cave, a two-meter Giant humbly kept his head lowered. He looked like he had just met his idol.


    ''''You are¡­ Colossus, from Silver Death.'''' Following Amour''s voice, the two-meter silver-armored man smiled hugely. However, the smile looked hideous.


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' The dominant Colossus, who would often give despair to his enemies, respectfully spoke to Amour.


    In the early days of White Online, he heard the rumors of legendary Lord Amour. Like many other axe-wielding yers, everyone respected him. There were two idols they had, Lord Amour and King Arawn.


    While King Arawn was part of Hunter''s ss, Lord Amour''s ss was never clear. It was like he''d had Unique ss since day one.


    ''''Hmm, I have heard stories about you¡­'''' Amour grinned, ''''Barbarian ss. Strong enough to run through mountain and stay unharmed.''''


    ''''Hehe.'''' Creepily, Colossus slightly blushed after getting pliments'' from his idol.


    The Tournament''s difficulty increased far more as the identities of the contenders started getting revealed. While everyone was oblivious to the presence of others, the time until the confrontation between the strongest yers grew nigh.

 Chapter 554 The Strange Teams

    Chapter 554 The Strange Teams


    ''Well, he might be made of muscle without zero thought going in his mind, but he will be a powerful teammate.'' Amour stood up from the rocky bed as he pointed outside the cave, "Alright, since you can''t use your own axe, let''s make you one with tree and stone."


    Colossus'' face beamed, "Y-You would do that for me?!"


    Amour rolled his eyes. For some reason, Colossus was unable to use his axe while he could. A thought appeared in his mind. Maybe all Legacy and stronger weapons could be used while ordinary ones couldn''t.


    "You will cut the trees down. Well, since you can''t cut with anything, punch at them or something."


    Colossus saluted and ran outside. As soon as he arrived at the first tree with white bark, his brick-sized fist speared through the tree, making a brick-sized hole.


    Amour chuckled at the humorous and somewhat scary scene.


    ¡­


    "Hihihihi¡­" A creepyughter echoed in the dimly-lit cave.


    "Ugh¡­ heavy¡­" Xerxus muttered in pain as he slowly started waking up.


    "WHO IS HEAVY?!" Following the enraged voice, a solid fist struck him in the chest, waking him up in shock.


    "OUCH!" Xerxus screamed loudly and sat up in a hurry. However, as soon as he did, he touched noses with a delicate-looking woman whose face flushed with embarrassment and anger. Her legs wrapped around his waist while she used Xerxus''p as a pillow to sit on.


    As soon as he saw her, his face turned pale, "N-Noelle¡­"


    "Xerxus, my dear. Who is heavy?" Noelle asked while raising her fist, innocently smiling, but a scorching fire burned behind her adorable face.


    Xerxus gulped dryly, "I-I didn''t mean it."


    Noelle innocently smiled. However, her eyes weren''t.


    She looked like a beautiful young maiden, with petite body stature and delicate facial features. With her long brown hair reaching her lower back, she looked unnaturally beautiful. At one of the two small mounds that pushed her robes forth, there was a symbol of a hand.


    Her full title was Lady Noelle, the Strongest Thief.


    And¡­ she happened to be Xerxus'' fianc¨¦e.


    "I forgive you¡­ for now." Noelle lowered her delicate arm and traced her finger across Xerxus'' cheek, "Just because I love you. But, next time, once we marry, you will sleep on the couch, forever."


    Xerxus''s mouth twitched as he vigorously nodded, "Alright¡­"


    Their engagement started with political marriage. Both their families knew each other closely, and their families were also married due to political matters. Thus, their parents decided that since it went well for them, their children might as well marry too.


    Thus, the engagement between Xerxus and Noelle happened.


    "By the way¡­ where have you been?" Noelle asked, caressing his cheek, "You disappeared without a word, and your parents then said you went to visit a friend¡­ was it a girl?"


    As thest words left her mouth, the atmosphere turned eerily cold.


    "N-No, I met with male friends!" Xerxus bit his lip. He hated to have secrets from Noelle because it was impossible to keep any secrets from her!


    "Oh, who?" Noelle asked with the same heartbeat.


    Biting his lip, Xerxus averted his gaze.


    "Oh, you are going to y this game." Noelle''s smile disappeared, "You are testing my love, my dear."


    "Sorry..?" Xerxus could only pray to Heavens that Kalzer, Isaac, and Amour weren''t seeing this. It was simply humiliating, or someone could think that the scene was erotic. An adorable girl mounting on hisp, showing her dominant yet cute personality.


    Noelle patted his cheek and said with another smile, "Fine, I will let you have this secret. I will anyway find out where you have been."


    ''Impossible!'' Xerxus cried out in his mind.


    ¡­


    Darth stood on top of the tall trees. His teammate bit his lips and nails anxiously as he looked at the number of yers walking out of the forests.


    ''Great, my teammate is some second-rate yer. Only a Vice Guild-Master, we are so doomed.'' He thought to himself while looking at Darth with disdain.


    Darth slowly hopped off the tree,nding next to his teammate, "Let''s build our defenses."


    His teammate softly nodded but thought, ''Don''tmand me, you trash! I will build the defenses because it feels like the best idea, that''s all!''


    ¡­


    At the other mountain, Queen Diana held an arrow in her left hand and a bow in her right. Behind her was the teammate, a seemingly ordinary young man, barely fifteen years old.


    The young man didn''t even dare to breathe loudly. The famous presence of Queen Diana made him gulp down every word.


    "Hey, you." Diana turned to look at the dazed young man.


    The young man turned towards her, straightening her back out of reaction.


    "I will build the defenses. You will make the living quarters morefortable. I won''t be sleeping on the rocky bed the entire night."


    "A-Ah, yes!" The young man nodded like a chicken pecking at grains. He picked up some flowers, grass, and anything that looked soft and returned to the cave. He tried toy them down on the beds and tested them by lying on them.


    However, immediately a groan of displeasure lifted off his mouth. He threw them away and returned to the forest to find anything else.


    While he was running back and forth between cave and forest, Diana used the arrow''s sharp edge to trim down the sticks, making them sharper.


    ¡­


    Standing outside the cave, King us leaned against the entrance, the ck-clothed weapon hanging over his left shoulder.


    His teammate ran across the forest, picking up sticks and anything that was useful. us forced him to work for him while he ''guarded'' the ce. However, he knew that no one would be foolish enough to attack.


    This tactic used by him was to keep his Stamina up. The shes of white-haired youth appeared in his mind, causing him to grit his teeth.


    ''Wraith¡­ is he here?'' The thought continued resurfacing, causing him to grit his teeth harder.


    ¡­


    Pow, pow, swoosh!


    In a random cave, two men exchanged blows. They were fighting with their fists.


    "Fuck you!" King Michael shouted as he tripped over the blond-haired man.


    "Fuck!" King Jonathan sprang up and tackled Michael down. As soon as he mounted him, he began hammering his fists down.


    However, Michael nicely blocked them with his muscr arms and shook Jonathan off.


    With a stroke of rather bad luck, enemies ended up being teammates. Their fightsted for another hour before they decided to take a break.

 Chapter ?555 The Presence of Strong

    Chapter ?555 The Presence of Strong


    "I can feel it¡­ the presence of strong!" King Arawn exploded intoughter. His teammate was a short-haired girl who covered her ears as theughter boomed in her ears.


    "Be quiet, you Ogre!" She shouted and kicked the shinbone of the bushy-bearded man.


    "Hmph, that tickled!" Arawn said while shrugging off the tiny sting sensation on his leg.


    "Go cut down trees or something, you Ogre!" The short-haired girl pointed outside, puffing and huffing loudly.


    "Without your foul mouth, you wouldn''t be too bad-looking!" Arawn spat on the ground, brushing past him with the lofty look, "However, your foul mouth just tells how ugly you are from inside!"


    "H-How dare you?!" The short-haired girl stomped on the ground angrily, "Just so you know. My ssmates nominated me as the ss Princess!"


    "Must have been out of pity. Now, do something useful. Maybe if you prove your usefulness, I could endure your presence better!" Arawn shrugged off his hand as he stepped out of the cave.


    He noticed sharp sticks strewn across the forest, causing him to nod satisfyingly.


    The short-haired girl continued throwing tantrums, causing a certain part of the forest to be rather loud.


    ¡­


    "W-Well, what should we do?" A timid-looking man asked his teammate. They stood on the outskirts of the forest and saw the endless grass field, the towering mountains, and distant valleys.


    "What do you mean ''we''?" The dark-eyed man turned to look at the timid man. A name hovered above his head. Darkside.


    "E-Eh?" The timid-looking man sprang backward, shock in his face, "B-But, we are teammates."


    "Honestly, how did you get this far?" Darkside nced at the timid man, "Right, you are New-Gen Human, no wonder."


    "W-What does that have to do with anything?" The timid man clenched his fist, not liking when he was underestimated, "I might not look like, but I am strong!"


    "New-Gen Humans are cowards who vomit after seeing a drop of blood. Do me a favor, and go make my bed softer before the night. Maybe I won''t let you die if you do a good job!"


    ''''I-I am not your servant!''''


    "You are now." Darkside pulled out his shiny dagger, cing it on the timid man''s neck, "Now go, servant!"


    "H-How can you use a weapon?" The timid man spoke with shock, "I-I can''t, but why can you?"


    "This is the difference between useless and yers. Now, go before I try to find ways to make you feel pain."


    The timid man gulped and ran to the cave, tears brimming in his eyes.


    ¡­


    "¡­" Slowly, a dead-looking man opened his ck eyes. The eyes didn''t seem to have any light. The name hovering above showed a name, Underlord.


    Even while being wide awake, he didn''t move a muscle. Slimy worms wrapped around his fingers. Still, he didn''t move. His teammate was already wide awake, an arrogant-looking man with great presence.


    At first, he looked like a famous rapper with ear piercings and tattoos adorning his body.


    "Yo, awake?" The rapper asked, showing his golden teeth.


    "¡­" Underlord slowly sat up, his lifeless eyes scaring the rapper.


    "Shit, what the hell?" The rapper felt chills in his arms. The feeling he got from Underlord was strange, like he wasn''t a human.


    "¡­" Underlord''s cold eyes froze the atmosphere further.


    "Whatever¡­" The rapper frowned, massaging his temples as he said, "Yo, man, should we like check this ce out?"F


    "Yes, you." Underlord''s first cold voice rang in the cave.


    "Me?" The rapper frowned, "What about you?"


    "Stay."


    "Stay here?" The rapper''s face also turned colder, "Are you nning to do nothing?"


    "Yes."


    "Fuckingzy bitch." The rapper smacked his hand against his thigh, angrily shouting, "There is no way that you will stay here. Man, get up from your fucking ass!"


    "No." Underlordy back on the rocky bed, tirelessly looking at the ceiling.


    "WHAT THE FUCK, YO MAN?!" The rapper sprung to his feet, the dust blowing off his clothes.


    "Quiet." Underlord pointed at his lips. A red particle flew off his finger.


    "Hmm?" The rapper tried to speak something but then noticed that no words hade out. His eyes shook as he touched his lips, and immediately, a panic burned inside his heart. His mouth was gone!


    The rapper''s eyes were full of fear as he looked at Underlord.


    "Hmm, hmm, hmm!" Muffled shouts sounded in the cave.


    "Begone." Waving his hand, a wave of red smoke appeared in the cave, engulfing the rapper. As soon as the rapper''s figure vanished into the red smoke, the loud, muffled shouts grew louder. There was a mix of pain and fear.


    After the red smoke disappeared, the rapper was gone. The word ''Death'' hovered in the air at the ce where the rapper was.


    Underlord slowly lowered his eyes, falling asleep.


    ¡­


    Creak, creak, screech!


    Zachary sat on his rocky bed, sticks dotted across the floor. There was a de made of stone in his right hand, which he used to make the sticks sharper.


    At the other side of the cave, Isaac sat on his own ufortable bed. There were all sorts of herbs and flowers piled in front of him. He tried to re-create Healing Potions because he was out of them. However, as soon as he finished the first one, it was measly White ranked.


    The White ranked Healing Potions gave barely 5 to 10 HP.


    ''Better than nothing¡­'' Isaac frowned while speaking inside his mind. As he finished all the herbs and flowers, mixing on the potion, there was around dozen Healing Potions. At best, it could help him to increase his HP by 100.


    A quite measly amount.


    Zachary had finished with sticks some time ago and was sticking them at the trees. That was Isaac''s n, to make walking past the trees impossible without making any sounds.


    So, they made the trees like barbed wire, sharp and deadly.


    After Zachary returned to the cave, he rubbed his ears as he thought he''d heard something. Walking closer to the wall, he nted his ear against the wall. A clicking sound came from the wall.


    Walking slightly forward, the clicking sound turned louder. Zachary started wiping off the dust from the wall, soon revealing a hidden mechanical clock. The ss showed his reflection, which mirrored his movements.


    "Look at this." Zachary looked at Isaac, showing him the clock.


    "Hmm?" Isaac walked to the clock, the time showed less than a week, and the point score showed 25.


    "25 points, for what?" They both frowned.

 Chapter ?556 Mighty Thor!

    Chapter ?556 Mighty Thor!


    Somewhere in Wintend.


    A cold wind blew over an octagon-shaped prison. Four tall watch towers kept an eye on the inmates. A grayish skybined with falling snow created an atmosphere of inhumanity and crudeness.


    The roaring of the inmates echoed in the background.


    A short ck-haired man listened to the roaring with his eyes closed. The prison cell was small, with a bunk bed, a small toilet, and a sink. At the top of the bunk bed, arge man with a round belly and stomach-length beard snored loudly.


    ng, ng.


    At that moment, a Prison Guard clicked his keys against the prison bars, ''''Oliver. You have a visitor!''''


    Oliver opened his eyes and stood up from the bed. He turned around and stretched his hands towards the prison bars. The Guard grabbed his wrists and cuffed them.


    Then, he opened the cell and led Oliver towards the end of Prison Block A.


    The inmates shouted across the Block, some hostile and someughter. As soon as they saw an Oliver, they sent a flurry of taunts, causing a dark look to appear on his face.


    Leaving Block A, The Guard led Oliver to the visitor room. After entering through a door with arge window, Oliver saw a man in a suit, sitting with his suitcase on the table.


    ''''Yourwyer.'''' The Prison Guard said and left the room.


    Oliver frowned and walked to the chair with cuffs hindering his movements.


    ''''Hello, Mister Oliver.'''' The visitor said with a gentle smile.


    ''''Who are you? You aren''t mywyer.'''' Oliver asked with some degree of hostility. After spending a year in prison, he learned not to trust anyone.


    ''''That''s right, I am not. But, I am someone far more important,'''' The visitor said. Putting the suitcase on the floor, he pulled out a paper from his front pocket, which he forwarded to Oliver.


    Oliver took the paper, frowning.


    ''''I am from an organization called Sword of Myth. It must be a foreign concept to you. We haven''t been known for a long time.''''


    ''''And?'''' Oliver checked the paper, and it was nk.


    ''''While yourwyer can''t get you out, we can.'''' The visitor''s words caused an obvious face of disbelief from Oliver.


    ''''As if!'''' Oliver snorted, ''''If you are that powerful, why do you have to act as mywyer?''''


    The visitor chuckled, nodding at his quick wits, ''''True. We aren''t that liked by the public at the moment, and they would want us as far from prisons as possible.''''


    Oliver listened silently, slightly disinterested at this point.


    ''''However, you have a grudge with Isaac Whitelock, don''t you?''''


    Oliver''s face reddened with anger, ''''Don''t say that name in my presence!''''


    ''''Hehe, I take that as yes.'''' The visitor leaned against his hand, yfully smiling, ''''If we can get you out of here, can you help us to ruin him?''''


    Oliver''s disinterested face disappeared, asking, ''''What do you need me to do?''''


    ''''Once we break you out, Isaac will hear about it. You wille with us to a remote facility and act as bait. If he knows where you are, he wille after you.''''


    ''''Bait?'''' Oliver clicked his tongue but didn''t cross that option yet, ''''What are you nning to do to him?''''


    ''''My General is very displeased at him and wants to kill him.''''


    ''''Hmph, good!'''' Oliver didn''t care about anything else. He shook the visitor''s hand, ''''Get me out of here.''''


    ''''Yes, soon.'''' The visitor said and motioned for the Guards to open the door, ''''The world has changed, and Isaac isn''t the same anymore. Hundred of you wouldn''t be able to scratch him. But, luckily, we can.''''


    The Prison Guard opened the door and dragged Oliver out of the room.


    While getting dragged, Oliver looked at the visitor''s cold eyes. Those eyes were full of conviction and ruthlessness. These were the people he could trust to help with his revenge.


    A chilling grin appeared on Oliver''s face, ''Isaac, I will destroy you!''


    ¡­


    Somewhere in space, a thousand kilometers long spaceships flew past deads and glowing stars.


    At the ship''smand deck, a two-horned Demon with bronze skin, and dragon-like scale arms, stood mightily at the center of the deck.


    There were hundreds of mutated goblin-like Demons controlling the ship.


    Whoosh.


    The automated doors slid open as two demons dragged a beaten-up man towards the two-horned Demon.


    The dirt covered most of his face. However, the damp blond hair and mighty presence revealed that he wasn''t a nobody.


    ''''Hands off me peasants, I am the great God Thor!'''' The beaten-up man shouted while trying to shrug off the Demons hands. However, it looked like his power was gone, making him look like a mortal man.


    ''''Thor¡­ nice to meet you.'''' The two-horned man turned around slowly, revealing his wise face, ''''My name is Laxus, the Demon General of this Ship.''''


    ''''Demon General¡­'''' Thor muttered with surprise, ''''W-Why¡­ are you here?''''


    Laxus stepped forth, grabbing from Thor''s dirty blond hair, ''''You are not allowed to ask questions from me. Now, quiet weak God!''''


    p!


    A p resounded in the air as Laxus'' hand smacked across Thor''s bruised cheek.


    ''''Ptui!'''' several teeth flew as Thor spat out blood.


    ''''Now, do you want a painful death or painless?'''' Laxus asked while putting his foot down at Thor''s head, pushing his head till it licked the floor, ''''Tell me the location of the Mortal World, and painless it shall be.''''


    ''''Hah¡­ hah¡­ hah¡­'''' Peals of exhaustedughter left Thor''s mouth, ''''Y-You won''t kill me¡­''''


    ''''And why not?'''' Laxus pushed his head down stronger, breaking the tiles.


    ''''Ugh¡­'''' nting his head to the left, Thor uttered the words through pain, ''''B-Because¡­ finding that world is all that matters! I am the only one here who knows. Thus the Demon Kings would be very displeased if they have to wait much longer because you killed me!''''


    Laxus coldly removed his feet, ''''Fine, you win¡­ well, that is the wrong term. You might have won the battle, but you will bleed for the war.''''


    ''''?'''' Thor didn''t understand what he meant by that.


    Laxus grinned, waving his hand, he said, ''''Take him to the Torture Hall, and give him a proper wee!''''


    The demons erupted inughter, filling the air with taunting and bloodlust.


    ''''No, you peasants!'''' Thor screamed as he got dragged away, ''''I AM THE MIGHTY THOR¡­''''

 Chapter ?557 Demon General Bella

    Chapter ?557 Demon General Be


    Whenever someone asked what the most famous monument of the City of Fall was, they would all answer the same. Winter Portal. The pathway to the famed Winter Realm, the dream of many.


    Since its poprity, there were always Guards keeping an eye on it, never leaving it unguarded. Therefore, it was impossible to sneak inside without being noticed.


    However, as the citizens walked past the Winter Portal, the Guards didn''t notice five strange-looking people walking right by them like they were invisible.


    At that moment, the Realm Portal activated, catching everyone off-guard. The Guards unsheathed their weapons, thinking that someone had activated it without permission. However, they couldn''t see anyone except the amazed citizens.


    The citizens watched as the mesmerizing whirling portal froze the ground. They could only imagine how cold it was on the other side. However, that didn''t frighten them. It made them curious and excited!


    The five strange-looking people stepped into the portal, disappearing from the face of the. The portal slowly deactivated, making the Guards frown in confusion. This was the first time the portal activated without any warning.


    On the other side of the Portal, in Winter Realm.


    The five strange-looking people stepped into the snow, cold wind blowing through the air. The snowy valleys, forests, and faraway viges covered in snow spanned into the horizon.


    A pir of smoke came from the direction of the viges. The source was the smoking hot chimneys that kept the houses warm and safe. There was no one that could live outside the warm houses. The whole realm was freezing cold.


    However, the five strange-looking people acted like they were standing in the middle of a volcano, not bothered by the cold.


    Then, a wrinkle appeared on their robes, soon revealing a sharp tail. The cold air blew off their hoods, revealing their bronze skins and red eyes.


    They were Demons!


    As thest individual removed the hood, her beautiful face shone in brilliance. She looked vastly different from other demons with her horns and scaly arms.


    She was Be, the formerndlord of Isaac!


    "General, what should we do?" The demons turned to Be, asking respectfully.


    The Demons treated the hierarchy with utmost importance. It went by the following: Common Demons, Soldier Demons, Commanding Demons, Demon Generals, Demon Lords, andstly, Demon Kings.


    While the four ordinary-looking Demons were all Commanding Demons, Be was a level higher, Demon General!


    Be softly spoke, "Finding the veil is of utmost importance. We searched for other realms to no avail, and this is thest Realm before the ce where Gods reside. However, we can assume that the veil isn''t here either, instead at God Realm."


    The Demons nodded. They thought that as well. However, they still searched for other Realms because their Demonic Scent was still too strong, and they had to wait until the scent diminished. They had to do that to hide from the Gods.


    The closer they got to God Realm, the higher the chance of them finding their presence. Thus, getting rid of the scent made their journey easier. However, they still didn''t want to go to God Realm, the Headquarters of their enemies.


    "Finding Veil is a must. Thus, we will go to God Realm!" Be gave an order with a solemn face.


    "B-But General, we will get found out!"


    "No, if we go with our Human Forms," Be said and saw the change in the Demons'' faces. They grimaced with disgust.


    "We can''t use our demonic prowess in that disgusting form!"


    "Doesn''t matter. Do not fight, period!" Be said seriously, causing the Demons to lower their heads. The Demon Generals'' presence wasn''t a joking matter. They were strong enough to give a proper fight to the Gods.


    "We will go to God Realm. However, since the scent is still an issue, and our Human Forms can''t fool Odin and his minions, we must tread with extreme caution!"


    "Yes, General."


    Be opened her pocket, pulling out a shiny pearl. Her mouth opened, and she spoke a strangenguage. As soon as she finished, hers and the Demons'' forms began changing. They returned to their Human Forms.


    "Now, be careful, and if you see any ravens, kill them." Be nced at the empty trees, frowning, "Odin''s spies are everywhere."


    "Yes, General!"


    ¡­


    "Argh, climbing sucks," Zachary said as he grabbed Isaac''s hand.


    Isaac pulled him up. As Zachary leaned against the mountain wall, he could see the overview of the enormous realm. They stood around 200 meters high on a mountain ledge. They decided to go to higher ground where they could get a proper look at the realm.


    "These mountains are close to each other," Zachary said while ncing at the nearest mountain that was barely a hundred meters away. To infiltrate a neighbor would take less than a few minutes.


    "Yes, but there are far bigger threats. Those are the people we need to keep an eye on." Isaac said while roughly calcting the distance between them and the furthest mountain.


    "Like who?" Zachary asked curiously.


    "Like people who can move in superspeed," Isaac said with an arched eyebrow. In the distance, he could see a pir of smoke.


    "Hah, there is someone like that?" Zachary asked with his mouth wide open.


    "Yeah."


    "Fucking overpowered," Zachary said with a chuckle. However, his emotionless eyes shed with a strange glow when he said the word ''overpowered''.


    "Yeah¡­" Isaac sighed as he agreed with that. Xerxus was a person he respected. Without him, he wasn''t sure whether their journey would have gone as smoothly.


    "Oh, fire." Zachary then noticed the pir of smoke.


    "They are burning the trees," Isaac said. dly, the smoke was far enough not to disturb them.


    "Hah, what for?"


    "Well, I have a theory." Isaac nced below at the faraway ground, "They are betting that no one will try to attack them if there is a danger of getting sneak-attacked. After all, the smoke makes the visibility quite poor."


    "But, the smoke won''tst forever."


    "It willst enough. They must have found the clock. The stagests a week, and this much smoke couldst that long."


    "Damn, but won''t they suffocate because of all that smoke?"


    "They must have discovered a way to prevent that or forgot such a simplistic manner. I don''t know."


    "Damn, should we do that?" Zachary asked with excitement.


    "That would be thest thing we would do." Isaac immediately shot down that idea.


    "Why?"


    "They forgot one important thing."


    "What''s that?"


    Isaac unloosened theces that strapped a wooden spear to his back, "There are people who can see through the smoke, like me!"

 Chapter 558 Night

    Chapter 558 Night


    With the wooden spear''s tip pointing to the sky, Isaac pulled his right arm back and rotated his shoulder. Then, he twisted his waist and threw the spear. Whoosh. The spear flew through the blue sky and soon started falling down.


    Behind a smoky wall, two yers kept their faces masked. That was their idea of keeping the smoke out of their system. White Online Masks and they worked well.


    Then, the smoke stabbed through the smoke and struck the chest of one of the yers.


    The yer got impaled and lost a small amount of HP. The crude wooden spear didn''t have enough attack strength to kill.


    His teammate warily nced at the smoke and gulped. Now, the smoke wall stopped them from seeing their attacker. In the end, the smoke was a double-edged sword!


    "Wow!" Zachary chuckled.


    Isaac frowned, ''The spear barely did any damage. This is bad for the yers without special weapons. They would never be able to fight against others with special weapons. This is stupid and unfair.''


    Ding, ding.


    In the sky, a notification appeared for every yer and New-Gen Human.


    [The first blood has been spilled by the enemies!]


    [The First Event Begins!]


    [Attack of the Wolves!]


    "That doesn''t look good." Zachary chuckled.


    "This ain''tughing matter, let''s leave." Isaac immediately started to climb down before the wolves had time to attack.


    "Jeez, okay." Zachary showed his tongue and followed after.


    At the center of the vast grass field, a crack appeared. From there, wolves with brownish furs popped out, like the earth gave birth to them. Soon, there were over a thousand of them, growling hungrily.


    As they smelled the scent of blood, they stomped their paws on the ground and started dashing towards the forest. The yers and New-Gen Humans watched as the bloodthirsty wolves came after them.


    Soonter, Zachary and Isaac returned to the cave. There were already dozen blood-red-eyed wolves in their forest, getting cut by the sharp sticks.


    "Wow, it''s really working," Zachary said while looking at Isaac in a new light. He didn''t expect the sticks to work, but against bloodthirsty wolves, it worked like magic.


    However, some of the wolves found out that they could jump over the sticks. Thus, soon a dozen wolves jumped over the obstacles, reaching the cave without a hup.


    Isaac prepared to pull out his weapons as the wolves slowly crouched near the entrance.


    However, as the atmosphere turned tense, Zachary''s eyes shone like pair of stars. The cave darkened significantly, and the forest turned dark like suddenly night dawned!


    "Woof, leave."


    The wolves staggered backward, a fear rippling in their malicious eyes. They felt genuine terror when looking at Zachary. Because there was an illusion of thousand feet Giantess behind him, looking like she could kill a whole civilization with one stomp.


    The night disappeared, and the sunlight returned.


    "What was that?" Isaac asked with a deep frown. Even he felt a spike of terror sprouting inside his heart. There was the presence of some otherworldly creature. Next to the Giantess, he felt like an ant.


    "Nothing, let''s reinforce our defenses!" Zachary cheered loudly as he left the cave, heading to the forest.


    Isaac didn''t walk even one meter, his heart still pounding as the scene shed over his mind. He truly felt like the Giantess didn''t look at the wolves but instead at him. Still, her presence alone scared the wolves.


    When even the bloodthirsty wolves felt fear without being looked at, what about Isaac?F


    ''Who is he..?'' Touching his chest, Isaac looked at humorous-looking Zachary. However, there was a lingering presence of the Giantess behind his emotionless eyes.


    ''Was that¡­ a Legacy Figure? It must have been, that feeling of terror and coldness could only belong to God¡­''


    Shaking his head, he left the cave.


    In the surrounding forests, the fighting echoed far away. The corpses of the wolves strewed across the ground, thinning the air with blood.


    However, an hourter, the event ended.


    [The First Event''s Over!]


    [Check the Points!]


    Stab!


    Isaac stabbed a newly-made wooden spear into the ground, testing its durability. As the words shone in the air, Zachary''s voice came from the cave.


    Turning around his head, Isaac noticed Zachary motioning for him to go there. He strapped the wooden spear to his back before returning to the cave.


    The mechanical clock showed a far bigger number than previously.


    [Points: 1067]


    "That''s good¡­ I think." Zachary said while shrugging his shoulders. The number of points seemed far bigger than before.


    "Not enough." Isaac said and nced at him with a tired eye, "Everyone fought and killed those wolves for over an hour. But, none of the wolves dared toe back after you scared them off, and we didn''t even get kills."


    "O-Oops." Zachary innocently chuckled,pletely forgetting about it.


    Isaac sighed and returned to his bed, "Well, that doesn''t matter. Let''s focus on the future."


    "Yes, sire!" Saluting, Zachary sat down on his bed. Then, his ears perked up as suddenly a flow of power began surging inside him. His mouth curved into a smile.


    "You know, it''s now nighttime."


    Isaac frowned while lying on the bed, "And?"


    "Just saying," Zachary said with a yful wink. Hey down on the bed, chuckling humorously. As soon as he felt the power surge, the sun disappeared from the sky, reced by a grayish ball.


    The Realm turned silent as everyone returned to their quarters.


    However, in some parts of the forests, there was a movement. yers, and New-Gen Humans alike, wanted to use the night to their advantage to get several easy pickings.


    Isaac rested his head against his right arm, ced under his nape. The chilly wind brought a flurry of thoughts alongside.


    A serious frown dawned upon his face. He knew there were many who would try to use the night to their advantage. Especially Assassins.


    Zachary hummed humorously with his eyes closed. However, the shes of images continued moving across his eyes. For some reason, during the night, he could see everything that was happening in the Realm.


    He also noticed several yers entering their forests.


    Opening his eyes, a smirk appeared on Zachary''s face, "We havepany."


    "Hmm?" Isaac, at first, tried to listen to any sounds but didn''t hear anything. He thought that Zachary had imagined it. But then, Zachary stood up and casually walked out of the cave.

 Chapter ?559 Shocking the World

    Chapter ?559 Shocking the World


    ''''We are here¡­'''' A chubby-faced man raised his right arm as a signal to stop. His teammate slowly trailed behind him, stopping behind the tree. They saw a barely lit cave.


    ''''Are you sure this is a good idea?'''' A man with coal-colored asked with slight hesitance. The chubby-faced man took the leading role in this duo, but he wasn''t sure whether he should listen to him. After all, during Attack of the Wolves, his strength wasn''t above him.


    ''''Yes!'''' The chubby-faced man muffled his scream. Inside his mind, he thought that his teammate was a coward and useless. But good bait.


    The view of the cave entrance was clear. They noticed the strange barbed trees and managed to avoid them. Luckily for them, whoever stayed in the cave didn''t have enough time to make a forest-length trap.


    The chubby-faced man put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a dagger made out of stone. They didn''t have proper weapons. Thus, they had to gamble on the assassination. However, they didn''t know that there were people who could wield their weapons.


    Like Isaac once said, the whole event seemed unfair.


    The coal-haired man wielded a cane made out of wood. He was Spellcaster. Common sense would tell that his spells would be incredibly valuable in an event such as this. However, there was a reason why everyone wielded strong canes.


    The weak canes and weapons couldn''t handle the weight of the spells. The coal-haired man expected the wooden cane to break from a simple Level 10 Spell.


    ''''Howl¡­''''


    A faraway howl rang in the air. It was a dying howl. Even thest of the wolves finally died even after the event was officially over.


    The chubby-faced man cheered himself on. The Tournament of Champions was a dreame true. Even though it wasn''t public, it was a ce to show off his fighting prowess. For pride, many would want to join this tournament.


    The two men crouched behind the tree and prepared to start heading to the cave.


    ''''Hey, whatcha looking at?'''' Zachary patted their shoulders, gazing towards the cave.


    The atmosphere turned silent.


    The chubby-faced man and coal-haired man turned their heads around. They saw an emotionless-looking man, standing tall and proudly. The night sky seemed to circte around him like he was currently the center of the world.


    ''''Quiet bunch?'''' Zachary pinched their cheeks yfully, ''''If you havee to visit my buddy and me, I am sorry to announce that we were about to shut our eyes.''''


    The two men shared nces, both looking surprised. The chubby-faced man gritted his teeth and pointed at the wooden cave with his eyes, signaling for the coal-haired man to do a spell!


    The coal-haired man understood and tapped the wooden cane''s shaft two times. The tip shone in barely noticeable white light.


    ''''Piercer!'''' After the shout, an illusionary white de flew out of the cane, spearing through the air towards Zachary''s face.


    ''''Night is my tomand.'''' Zachary''s melodious voice traveled far and wide. The night sky shone with starlight.


    The white de vanished, leaving behind a cluster of white powder.


    ''''H-How?'''' The coal-haired man caught the falling powder. He was shocked to see that his magic had turned to mere dust.


    The chubby-faced man kicked the ground, springing to his feet. The stone dagger flew towards Zachary''s face. The speed was miraculous.


    ''''Poh¡­'''' Zachary exhaled a short breath. The stone dagger slowly deteriorated. Soon, it was a pile of stone dust on the chubby-faced man''s palm.


    ''''What is this ability?'''' They asked with utmost fear. However, there was also a tinge of revere. Like many others, they admired strong yers and wanted to be like them.


    They hadn''t heard anything about this ginger-haired man that stood before them. However, the strength he possessed could be monumental!


    ''''I wonder¡­ what is my ability?'''' Zachary yfully yed with their words and patted their shoulders again. Then, both the chubby-faced man and the coal-haired man felt their bodies turning cold. Slowly, their vision turned dark as their avatars disappeared.


    Whoosh¡­


    Slowly, the pixelsnded on the ground, shining blue.


    ¡­


    ''''Hah!'''' The chubby-faced man sprung to his feet, shock filling his face. The Mythical VR Headset slid out of his head,nding on the soft bed.


    ''''That face¡­ what the hell was that?'''' Shuddering in fear, the chubby-faced man remembered the beautiful and cold face of a Giantess moments after his death. Even during death, he wasn''t freed from the fear.


    In the nk space of darkness, the Giantess'' face appeared and disappeared like flickering lights.


    Leaving the bed, he staggered to the desk. The open curtains revealed summer weather and a faraway beach. The scorching sun rose from the east, slowly moving towards the west.


    Opening theptop, the chubby-faced man grabbed a half-empty bottle of water. After gulping it down, he sshed the water against his face. The tread that seeped deep into his mind was slowly vanishing.


    ''''Was this another trick by Arthur?'''' Clicking his tongue, the chubby-faced man mmed his hand against theptop, opening the browser, ''''You think I will just stand aside and get humiliated? Hmph, private event, my ass!''''


    Logging into the White Online forum, the chubby-faced man started writing a post. To enter the Tournament of Champions, he had to be a strong yer, and he was quite famous in the early phases of the game.


    While he fell into oblivion and to irrelevance, there were many who would recognize his gamer tag. Thus, he wrote a forum post that soon rocked the world.


    [The Secret Event - Find out where the Top yers are!]


    His fingers danced across the keyboard, and after half an hour, a thousand-word long post was created by him. Itsted everything he witnessed, but also slightly lied in the post. Since there was no way to find out the yers who werepeting there, he had to bullshit.


    At the end of the post, he wrote that he saw Kalzer, Xerxus, Amour, Sorcerer, etc., in the event. However, the chubby-faced man truly believed they were there.


    The fact that most of them were missing, and an event called Tournament of Events happened right at that time. It didn''t need 200 IQ to find out where they could be.


    With one final press of a keyboard, he uploaded the post. It didn''t take long for the post to receive a ''Hot'' tag in a fiery glow. Soon, the Inte and the World were in an uproar!

 Chapter 560 The Second Announcement

    Chapter 560 The Second Announcement


    At the dawn of the next morning, the tense atmosphere returned to the Secret Realm. The night was sleepless and loud. Fighting echoed from far away. The yers and New-Gen Humans died rapidly, lessening the poption by some margin.


    After Isaac woke up from his slumber, he noticed Zachary standing outside the cave. Next to him was a pile of sharp sticks.


    ''''Did you even sleep?'''' Isaac asked as he frowned after seeing the number of sticks. It would take a few hours to do that much work.


    ''''I don''t sleep much.'''' Zachary replied, finishing onest stick, ''''I only sleep during the day, not at night.''''


    ''''Oh, why is that?'''' Isaac asked while trying to keep the conversation alive. It didn''t hurt to know more about his teammate. After all, Zachary was shrouded in a veil of mystery.


    Shrugging his shoulders, Zachary said, ''''I like the night more.''''


    Isaac nodded and picked up the sticks. Heading to the rest of the forest, he ced them strategically on the trees. After all of the trees were barbed properly, Isaac, with his two hands, started digging a hole.


    With the incredible feat of physical strength, a two-meter deep hole appeared in the ground. Then, he ced the sharp sticks at the bottom of the hole. They had enough piercing prowess to impale through a grown man.


    As the day went by, the conflicts between teams grew scarcer. They all waited for the second event and night. During the day, the fights would be worthless because no one would win a fight.


    The winner of the fight would most likely get attacked by another team. After that, repeat, and another team would attack them. It would continue until every team came to a single conclusion. Fighting now was useless.


    As Isaac stepped into the cave, he noticed the number on the clock doubled. For some reason, during the night, the score went up by a great margin.


    Zachary soundlessly slept on the bed. Before going to sleep, he said he would sleep for an hour, which was apparently enough for him. During that time, Isaac nned to act as a guard, but the strange increase in points made him interested.


    ''Did he kill yers?'' Isaac thought while looking at Zachary. The strange thing was theck of sound. He''d honed his senses and could hear the chirping of cicadas from hundreds of meters away. However, killing someone soundlessly was quite a feat.


    ...


    The Inte and the public were in an uproar.


    A strange post made by a former Pro yer caused controversy. There were trolls, and doubters that said the whole post was a lie, made to gain some ''Inte Fame''.


    However, the reporters thought that the post made sense. All the Pro yers suddenly disappeared as if the earth had swallowed them. It could be a coincidence if that happened to only three or four, but hundreds?


    After the post surfaced and caused great controversy, they decided to dig deeper into it. They contacted the person who made the post and received all details. However, when they mentioned Kalzer, etc., the person on the other side of the phone turned silent.


    That caused the reporters to scratch their heads in irritation. Immediately they knew that things about seeing Kalzer and the rest were fake!


    However, that didn''t demoralize them. After hearing things about this Tournament of Champions, they were more confident that everyone was there!


    The curiosity was killing them. All the so-called Top yers gathered under the same sky, fighting each other. The public and reporters alike wanted to see it desperately!


    That was a dream of many, and seeing such a scene would be enough to mark it in the annals of history. Thus, the reporters started digging deeper into the Tournament, soon finding several more yers that stepped out of the shadows.


    They dered themselves aspetitors in the Tournament. Of course, before that, there were many trolls that imed to have been part of it. However, they were all no-names!


    But, the ones the reporters found credible were Pro yers. They interviewed them, revealing everything they knew, and soon, their interviews were all over the Inte.


    Unlike the person who made the post, one of them saw Kalzer in the flesh!


    Apparently, they were killed by Kalzer''s teammate while he watched on the sidelines. At first, it sounded strange. Kalzer was known never to attack yers. However, if he got attacked, he would fight at full strength and kill whoever challenged him.


    But now it sounded like Kalzer actually attacked someone. That caused some disturbances among his fans. They treated him as a cool and calm God. The one who wouldn''t attack others needlessly. That gave him a different kind of charm.


    The person that said he''d seen Kalzer eventually fell under pressure. He revealed that he and his teammate attacked first. Thus, Kalzer and his teammate had to fight back.


    That caused everyone tough at his face. Attacking the strongest yer? Suicidal and idiotic!


    To receive a Golden Ticket to this mysterious tournament would be a dream toe true, but then they threw it away like that.


    After the interviews, the controversy started dying down. Everyone was now certain that the Top yers were in this Tournament of Champions.


    Then, another War on the Inte happened. Everyone attacked Arthur, asking why it wasn''t a public event. However, they never received a reply from Legacy Company.


    The Legacy Company had been eerily quiet ever since Arthur''s disappearance. Emilia had tried to keep the boat floating, but it hadn''t been easy. With her beautiful face descended into sadness and fatigue, she could only wonder if Arthur was fine and where he was.


    The Legacy Company otherwise had stayed out of the public''s eye. However, now a fire was spreading below their feet, threatening to burn them down to the ground. They needed to make an announcement to calm down the public.


    To the utmost surprise of everyone, an unannounced Announcement happened. However, not by Legacy Company.


    Billions of TV screens showed the face of a handsome blond-haired man. Like a deja vu, it made everyone remember the World-Changing Announcement that happened a little bit over a year ago.


    Arthur, the Chairman of Legacy Company, opened his mouth and started his second public announcement.

 Chapter ?561 The Moon Citys Arena

    Chapter ?561 The Moon City''s Arena


    In the secret room, somewhere in Mount Picu.


    After fixing the VR Headset, and theptop, Arthur noticed the Legacy Company''s peril, making him remember his secretary, Emilia. Knowing how hard it was to run the world''s most sessfulpany, he knew that Emilia wasn''t having a good time.


    Theptop showed the Legacy Company''s servers. One of them allowed connecting to News Station''s Broadcast frequency, allowing to make their own announcement whenever. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible.


    However, Arthur''s influence broke boundaries between countries, allowing him to do anything.


    Seeing the war on the Inte, he couldn''t allow Legacy Company to be under fire because of him. He started the Tournament of Champions sneakily when he changed the date between Isaac''s and Kalzer''s fight.


    It was supposed to be a private event. But, he was constrained currently; living in this dust-clustered ce made dealing with any White Online incidents difficult. Thus, many managed to reveal the existence of the event.


    Without choice left, Arthur decided topromise to calm the public''s outrage. The Third Stage, which was also the Final Stage, would ce all the survivors of the Second Stage in the same arena.


    The arena was in Moon City.


    That would be a spectacle like no other, and it was created as a source of entertainment for Gods and Moon City denizens. Thus, only they would be able to watch thest event.


    However, now hispromise was to Livestream the event for everyone.


    The problem was that he didn''t know how Gods would react to it. Most of them liked the privacy and never liked humans. They called the Moon City residents Inhumans, the superior version of Humans.


    While they didn''t mind the presence of Inhumans, ordinary Humans were different even though they would only be able to watch from the World of Four Seasons.


    However, Arthur decided to strain his rtionship with Gods to help Emilia and his other employees.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    His slender and long fingers danced across the keyboard. The announcement pop-up appeared on the screen, only one click away from starting his Broadcast.


    There was another problem with this.


    Souldeath Family could lock into his signal and find his current location. Thus, there was only one way to prevent that.


    "Ahem¡­" Arthur cleared his throat and prepared to start the Broadcast. He''d to exin everything clearly, and precisely in less than a minute. The Broadcast, ifsting over a minute, would reveal his current position.


    His finger gentlynded on the mouse, a click resounding in the cramped space. The screen showed his handsome, slightly fatigued face.


    Opening his mouth, he spoke calmly and confidently.


    "My name is Arthur Welhenheim, Creator of White Online and Legacy Company. My sudden unannounced announcement is regarding the Tournament of Champions."


    The Broadcast echoed in every household. This was Arthur''s first public appearance since a year ago. The days didn''t seem to be pleasant for him, with his ragged hair and dirtied skin.


    Emilia and the employees of Legacy Company watched in silence, their eyes turning slightly moist at the appearance of their glorious leader. They all knew about what happened over a year ago, the sudden disappearance of the Board of Directors.


    However, they didn''t think Arthur was a murderer since they knew him on a personal level. And several days after, a man in a suit started visiting them, pressuring them about Arthur. Their appearance rang proper red gs, making them even surer that Arthur wasn''t a bad person.


    The men in suits continued following them in silence everywhere they went. However, the employees weren''t amateurs like the men in suit thought. They all went under harsh training under Emilia''s council while they were still at the peak of their poprity.


    They managed to see when they followed them, and after they stopped following, the employees pressured Emilia to reveal the truth.


    And the truth was something unexpected, and their respect for Arthur only grew.


    Emilia watched as Arthur''s dry lips moved up and down, making her feel thrilled that he was alive but also saddened at his obvious crude circumstances.


    Arthur''s announcement continued.


    "To me mypany for the unannounced Tournament of Champions is wrong since it was I who created it, without knowledge of others. It was supposed to be Beta Tournament, also to give the Gods some source of entertainment.


    "After the tournament was over, I prepared to make all the yers and New-Gen Humans to write a contract that forbids them from saying anything about it.


    "However, because ofck of time, I didn''t have enough manpower or time to do such a thing. Thus the knowledge about Tournament was leaked to the public.


    The public listened closely. They felt a mix of emotions. Anger was amon emotion shared by many. However, those emotions lessened after seeing Arthur''s state. They could only imagine how busy he''d been.


    Then, Arthur showed a slightly tired smile, "To keep the fire from spreading, I decided to dopromise. Thest stage of the tournament will be live-streamed. Also, as I mentioned, this was Beta Tournament. The real one has yet toe¡­"


    Following that, the Broadcast suddenly shut down, and Arthur''s face disappeared from every TV screen.


    The public looked at the nk screen with shock. However, as soon as the first sounds entered their ears, they reacted positively. Knowing that thest stage would be live streamed caused a wave of happiness.


    They knew that only the best yers entered the final stage. While some felt dissatisfied knowing that the current stage was unwatchable, it didn''t matter as the most important stage would be streamed.


    Then, the knowledge about the ''Real'' tournament caused beating hearts and sweaty palms. The excitement and nervousness couldn''t be contained. Knowing that there would be an even bigger tournament in the future made everyone desperate to grow stronger, and maybe one day, they would be fighting there.


    Emilia and the Legacy Company''s employees continued staying silent. They couldn''t even imagine how their Boss managed to host such an enormous tournament while being on the verge of death.


    This made them again remember why Arthur Welhenheim was chosen as Legacy Carrier of Legendary King Arthur.

    Chapter 562 Hidden Dragons


    ''''What do you mean you couldn''t lock the signal?!'''' Lord Souldeath screamed inside his office, trashing the desk.


    Several Government Officials kept their heads low as a sign of respect and fear. The sweat clouded their visions as they tried to exin.


    ''''S-Sire, Arthur knew what he was doing¡­''''


    ''''?'''' Lord frowned, motioning for him to continue.


    The Government Official gulped, ''''T-To lock the signal, the frequency must be active for more than a minute. However, Arthur stopped using the frequency at 59 seconds.''''


    ''''You couldn''t even lock the general location?!'''' Lord screamed hoarsely.


    The Government Official nodded shakily, ''''Y-Yes. But, the general location is Ind Picu, which you already knew.''''


    ''''God damn it!'''' Lord screamed and threw items flying across the room. The Government Officials bowed and decided to leave the office before any of the flying rubble would hit them.


    ''''Well yed Arthur¡­ cough!'''' Letting out a wet cough, Lord sat down with rageful eyes.


    ¡­


    ''''Breaking News!''''


    ''''The first appearance of Arthur in over a year shocked the world!''''


    ''''Thest stage, and the uing Tournament, stay tuned, and we will list out every possible theory!''''


    ''''The Second Stage wouldst six more days before the highly anticipated final stage!''''


    ''''Tonight, we will list out every known Top yer in the world and calcte their chances of reaching the final stage!''''


    ''''King, Queen or Lord, and Lady. The Alpha, and Beta Testers, who are stronger?!''''


    In each household, the News of different Channels showed on each TV. The discussions were slightly different, but all circted around the Tournament of Champions.


    The World''s most popr News Channel was up in a debate. However, almost everyone agreed that National TV was the go-to channel to get the most interesting and urate news.


    Currently, hundreds of millions of households watched National TV. The studio had a fancy crescent-shaped table seated by three men and one fancily-dressed woman.


    ''''The question which has been on everyone''s tonguetely must also be part of the tournament!'''' A slick-haired man mmed his palm on the table, announcing his towering presence to the audience.


    ''''Agreed, Lord Kalzer and Wraith, who might not be as famous to the audience as he is to the Top yermunity.'''' A man next to him said, slightly adjusting his sses.


    ''''Well, between the two, Kalzer will definitely be part of thest stage, which is exciting news.''''


    The woman squealed with excitement as she smiled brightly, ''''Agreed, agreed, Lord Kalzer, whose whole existence is shrouded in mystery, will finally show his true prowess!''''


    ''''However, there is one thing I haven''t heard anyone discussing about¡­'''' The man with sses attracted everyone''s attention, ''''The Gods¡­ they will also be watching, but they might be there in person!''''


    The public widened their eyes in shock and realization. They forgot that Arthur said that the tournament was for Gods Entertainment. What kind of entertainment would it be if they weren''t watching it in person?


    ''''That''s right! The legendary Gods¡­ they are a rare thing in White Online. An ordinary yer wouldn''t see a God even after thousands of hours of ying, while even the strongest yers would be lucky to see them once!''''


    ''''Right, and I am sure the Worshipers will be the most excited about this news!'''' The squint-eyed man said, earning frowns from others. He was notoriously known for being a Worshiper and also Semi-Cultist. He admired Norse Gods like Odin and Thor while despising the God Destroying Wolf, Fenrir.


    The Worshipers started bing moremon after the announcement of the Gods surfaced. The mythical Gods that only lived in stories and movies were actually real, bringing a new wave of Cultists, religions, and Worshipers.


    ''''I am not sure about you three, but I am quite excited to see Goddess Aphrodite.'''' The slick-haired man''s words caused chuckles from the men while eye roll from the only woman present.


    ''''Now, back to the topic!'''' The woman rapped her finger against the table and continued, ''''What about Wraith, the possibility of him entering the final stage?''''


    ''''Low.'''' The slick-haired man replied.


    ''''He is strong, but not Top yer, so low.'''' The squint-eyed man said.


    ''''Marksmen are good for Long-Ranged, while they are poor fighters in Short-Ranged, so I am sure that Wraith is already dead.'''' The ssed man said.


    ''''You heard it audience, the chance we see the taste of Kalzer Vs. Wraith in the Tournament is low!''''


    ''''Now, enough of that, I have a question for you three.'''' The slick-haired man stood up from his chair, circled around the table, and faced everyone.


    The rest looked with curiosity.


    The slick-haired man pointed at them, asking, ''''Who are stronger, Lord, Lady or King, and Queen yers?''''


    The ssed man held his sses, moving it slightly up his nose bridge, ''''Lord and Lady. They have Lord Kalzer, Lord Amour, and Lady Noelle.''''


    ''''I disagree.'''' The squint-eyed man shook his head, ''''Kings and Queens have King Xerxus, Queen Eliza, Queen Cecilia, and King Arawn. There are more King and Queen yers in the top 10 than Lord and Ladies!''''


    The woman nodded, ''''Also, there are some strong Guild Masters. With their Guilds, they are a force to be reckoned with. Like King Michael, King Jonathan, and Queen Diana.''''


    The ssed man started arguing with them. After they couldn''te to a conclusion, the slick-haired man coughed on his fist, attracting their attention.


    ''''Easy now. But, I agree that Lord and Ladies are stronger.''''


    The squint-eyed man and the woman tried to open their mouths, but he immediately continued.


    ''''Because there are some Lord and Lady yers that started yingter. They didn''t care about the game at first, but when the announcement came¡­ they all hopped in. They had three months of ate start, but still, they have already caught up with the top!''''


    The room turned silent, and the public started siding with him. They already supported Lord and Ladies because of Kalzer. However, there was a minority that knew they shouldn''t underestimate Kings and Queens. On each side, there were some hidden dragons that were keeping a low-profile.


    However, when the time came, they would reveal themselves as the true protectors of humanity.

 Chapter ?563 Firestorm

    Chapter ?563 Firestorm


    Ding, ding.


    The sky above Secret Realm shone majestically. Arge text appeared, revealing that the second event would soon start.


    [Second Event: Firestorm]


    [Firestorm: The circle of fire will surround two forests, and it will continue shrinking until only the caves remain. To survive past this stage, the two duos in those forests must fight and eliminate the other. If there are still two duos remaining when the firestorm reaches the caves, both die]


    Ding, ding!


    [The Event Starts Now!]


    At thest ding, the firestorm appeared and engulfed the entire realm. The trees started burning, turning to ashes, and the beautiful grassy ground started burning away.


    A sweat drop trailed down Zachary''s face as he watched the scorching fire burning their forest away.


    Isaac stood outside the cave, looking in the direction of where the firestorm had ended. As the text said, the nearby forest seemed to be their opponent. The firestorm circled around them like a circle of death, closing in quickly.


    "Zachary, I think we should¡ª"


    Bang!


    Isaac stepped back, and a sharp projectile flew right past his face. Without stepping backward, the bullet would have made a significant hole in his skull!


    At the neighboring forest.


    A cold-faced man adjusted his sses while squinting his eyes. He held a long sniper rifle with a scope. Hey on top of arge tree branch. Below him was his dark-haired teammate.


    "Go." The cold-faced man said with his usual emotionless tone.


    "Right¡­" The dark-haired man said with a roll of his eyes. Spending time with this cold-toned person hadn''t been fun. It was like talking with a brick wall or watching the paint dry. Maybe even those were more enjoyable.


    The dark-haired man extended his hand, and a de appeared on his hand. The edge curved slightly downward, and the de looked quite spiky. Some people could mistake it for a spine taken from some small animal.


    While the cold-faced man continued firing his gun, the dark-haired man entered their enemy''s forest, rushing straight to the cave with one intention, to bring them a nightmare.


    "They areing," Zachary said while hiding inside the cave.


    Isaac stood next to him, nodding, "Footsteps are nearing, which means he isn''t the sniper. Can you take care of him while I will kill the sniper?"


    "Sure, but can you do it?" Zachary asked with the curve of his lips.


    "Not sure." Isaac pulled out his Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle, surprising Zachary.


    "Oooh, you can use your weapon? Sneaky." Zachary grinned slightly.


    "Stop ying around. I know you can too." Isaac nced at him, showing that he knew everything he had hidden.


    Zachary innocently smiled and shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows¡­"


    "Whatever¡­" Isaac shook his head and ced his finger on the trigger. As the footsteps grew nigh, he jumped out of the cave, aiming the barrel toward the iing man.


    However, as soon as he blinked, everything turned dark. At a depth of the darkness, a skeleton-like Centipede with thousands of kilometers of length coiled around the enormous mountain, breaking it apart!


    "W-What am I seeing?" Isaac couldn''t believe that this was real. The Centipede made him remember one of his scariest memories, the thing that hid deep below the Forest of Unknown.


    Bam!


    Then, Isaac got knocked off his feet as someone tackled him from the side. After crashing on the ground, the darkness disappeared, and the sky with ayer of dark smoke revealed itself.


    "Wraith, wake up!" He heard Zachary''s voice.


    "Urgh¡­" Isaac rubbed his head and turned to Zachary. To his utmost surprise, Zachary currently fought against a dark-haired man, blocking his des with ck-colored ws.


    "W-What happened?" Isaac staggered to his feet. He was still trying to rearrange his thoughts.


    Zachary smashed his foot on the dark-haired man''s chest, pushing him a few steps back.


    "I am not sure, but as soon as you stepped out of the cave, you stopped moving and muttered something odd!" Zachary said and swung his ck-colored ws at the dark-haired man. As the weapons shed, the sparks flew, and the ground cracked.


    "It was¡­ illusion?" Isaac frowned, ''Trickster?''


    The dark-haired man gritted his teeth as he got pushed backward again, "Why are my nightmares not working on you?"


    "Oh, so that''s your ability." Zachary grinned, "Lucky me¡­ your ability is to create visions of nightmares that would make your enemies paralyzed. Quite powerful, but unfortunately, my ability is the perfect counter for that!"


    Bang!


    A loud bang reverberated in the distance.


    Isaac jumped behind the tree. The bullet barely grazed the bark and flew till it collided with the me wall that engulfed the forests.


    "Take care of this sniper!" Zachary shouted and smashed his fist across the dark-haired man''s face.


    After getting hit by the wed fist, he staggered backward and tried to create nightmare illusions one more time. However, nothing worked on Zachary. It was like he didn''t have any fears!


    Zachary continued shing with his ws, creating more wounds on the dark-haired man''s torso. The Health Bar continued decreasing rapidly.


    "What is that fool doing?" The cold-faced man snorted under his breath, feeling disappointed at his weak teammate.


    Isaac knelt on the ground and picked up a tiny pebble. It was barely a size of a thumb. After rolling the pebble on his palm, he flicked it over to the left side. However, as soon as the pebble went airborne, a loud bang resounded, and the bullet cut through it like it was ripe cheese.


    The pebble was the same size as the bullet, but it was still destroyed by the sniper''s inhuman uracy.


    However, Isaac''s face didn''t change. A dead calmness shown in his eyes disyed his evesting confidence in his own abilities. The past year was long, filled with dangerous adventures and moments.


    During that time, Isaac continued honing his sniper skills. While most of the time he spent fighting via close quarters, it wasn''t because he was better than long-ranged. It was actually the opposite, he did that for practice.


    Before that, he spent over half a year fighting long-ranged. At one time, there was a rumor of Deadly Sniper that roamed in the City of Priesthood. No one knew his identity because no one could see him. They only fell dead.


    Isaac''s true ability bloomed during those harsh times, and his skills with the sniper rifle could be considered godly.

 Chapter 564 Funeral of the Forest.

    Chapter 564 Funeral of the Forest.


    The cold-faced man shifted his aim slightly. The barrel showed the lone tree, the hiding spot of the white-haired youth. His teammate fought valiantly against Zachary but was badly losing.


    "Whooo¡­" Breathing slowly and steadily, the barrel stopped shaking, and he got ready to fire. The fingertip grazed the trigger, and then he added more pressure. Slowly, the trigger moved, and the bullet started shaking.


    ''Time to die, weakling.'' The cold-faced man pulled the trigger, releasing the bullet. As soon as he did, he also used one of his skills. Wall Breaker.


    Bang!


    "Hmm?" The cold-faced man heard a loud bang, but his vision captured the entire forest, and he couldn''t see any bullet flying toward him.


    SWOOOSH!


    The tips of his ears perked up. A loud noise wasing from above. He lifted his head to see at the sky, and there he saw it, a meteor descending.


    ''I see now!'' The cold-faced man screamed internally, ''The bullet wasn''t shot towards me, but to the sky, and the bullet transformed into a meteor! Because the meteor''s weight couldn''t allow it to go any higher, ites down instead!''


    "Whew, that''s crazy." Zachary grinned as he saw the deadly meteor. Then, turned to look at Isaac and was surprised to see him gone. Only star-shaped particles were left.


    He turned back to the solitary tree and saw his bullet cruising through the tree effortlessly. However, he didn''t receive any notification of injuring anyone. For some reason, his bullet missed!


    A shower of star particles appeared some distance away, hidden deep in the middle of tall trees. Isaded on top of a tree branch and aimed toward the cold-haired man, oblivious about his current position.


    cing the finger on the trigger, he immediately fired.


    Bang!


    "Where?!" The cold-faced man''s expression started crumbling. He turned towards the loud sound and saw a flying bullet. Without even taking a single breath, he jumped down the tree. Afternding on the tree, he turned towards the horde of trees and started firing.


    Bang, bang!


    Each bullet was infused with one of his skills. The first bullet shone in radiant crimson, Homing Bullet. The second bullet started elerating in speed, Speed Bullet.


    "Wraith''s Shot, Human Version." Isaac stayed put and allowed the two bullets to fly through him. After that, his skill ran out, and the Homing Bullet suddenly steered around in the air and flew straight back at him.


    The cold-faced man''s lips broke into a smile.


    "Ice Shot, Freezing Era." Isaac exhaled cold breaths, freezing the air into dangerous temperatures. Even the scorching hot bullet froze while in mid-air.


    Raising his gun, Isaac pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The cold-faced man jumped to safety behind a lump of rocks.


    As soon as he did, Isaac stopped firing and smiled, "You forgot something quite important¡­"


    Isaac turned to the sky. The ming meteor descended andnded on top of the forest.


    BOOOOOM!


    The earth shook, causing several battles to stop in the realm. Everyone felt shocked as the ming meteor destroyed a big portion of one of the forests.


    ''ming meteor¡­ could it be him?'' Luna thought while casting several spells, engulfing her opponents in swamp green-colored vines. Queen Cecilia watched from the sidelines, munching on the food seeds innocently.


    Zachary smirked at the ridiculous disy. The meteor only destroyed their neighboring forest, but the heat still traveled all the way to them. The destruction was massive, a big crater appeared on the ground, and half of the mountain was gone.


    The dark-haired man looked to be stunned. He received notification that his teammate was dead. The cold-faced man, who seemed incredibly strong, dead just like that.


    "Hey, let''s end this. I am bored." Zachary''s bored voice sounded behind him. Then, the dark-haired man''s vision changed to pitch-ck, and from the depths of the darkness, the face of a beautiful and cold Giantess appeared. Like flickering lights, the face appeared and disappeared.


    "A-A-AHHH!" The dark-haired man screamed in horror and turned to pixels. While he often induced fear in others. Now, he felt what true fear was.


    Zachary''s w-like hands disappeared, and his nightly eyes returned to it''s previous dull form.


    "Stop hiding, Wraith," Zachary said while swiping his hair back. His emotionless eyes turned to the tree top, and in there, Isaac watched with a frown.


    ''Strange¡­'' Isaac leaped off the tree andnded on the ground. Looking at Zachary, he asked, "What did you do to him? He suddenly screamed and disappeared."


    "It shall be a secret!" Zachary winked yfully, and then his face broke out of the smile. The firestorm slowly quenched, disappearing and leaving only a trail of ashes, burnt trees, and pirs of smoke.


    One after another, the firestorms started disappearing. Soonter, the second event ended withyers of destruction. Most of the realm was burnt to crisp, a thick cloud of smoke covering the sky like a nket of gray moss.


    Zachary and Isaac returned to the cave to check the points total.


    [Points: 5656]


    "Nice." Zachary showed thumbs up and cleaned the dusty ss slightly. The clock continued ticking down, slowly and steadily.


    Isaac turned his gaze away and left the cave. After walking through the burnt forest, he arrived at the endless grasnd. The beautiful grass swayed in the wind, still unchanged.


    Smoke, on the other hand, caused the vision to be misty, resulting in a rather unattractive and crude appearance to the scene.


    It wasn''t only him who came to see the destruction. Several figures stepped out of the burnt forests, their faces covered in a thin veil. They looked around before returning back to the caves.


    Isaac grabbed a handful of ash and returned to the cave. After sitting on his bed, he littered the ash across the ground, letting it seep into the small crevices.


    Zachary rested his chin on his palm, quietly watching Isaac. Usually, his emotionless eyes hid his true thoughts. However, now he truly felt confused, and his eyes showed it.


    ''Strange man. Funeral for the forest?''

 Chapter 565 The Final Stage - Moon City Tournament

    Chapter 565 The Final Stage - Moon City Tournament


    The time went by slowly.


    The public was in a constant state of anxiousness and nervousness. The time till thest stage felt like forever.


    TICK-tock, TICK-tock.


    However, without much other activity in the Secret Realm, thest day of the second stage soon arrived, and the news stations immediately reported about it.


    Five days ago, when the Firestorm appeared, more yers died and revealed their experiences. The public felt like gnawing their nails as they heard that something so interesting had happened.


    As soon as thest day arrived, the news stations spoke nothing but about thest stage. There were yers who tried to enter Moon City. However, all the portals were blocked, making traveling there impossible.


    Even with Teleportation Pearls.


    The Moon City had entered the final stage of preparations.


    The hardworking residents started building the majestic Arena a week ago, and it was almostplete!


    It was bigger and taller than Stronglord''s Colosseum. At the hands of humans, it would take years, maybe decades, toplete it. But, Inhumans did it in a week, with the help of Goddesses and Gods.


    The Arena of Champions was in the middle of Moon City, a walking distance away from the walls that touched the skies. They decorated the streets with shy lights and decorations.


    There was a proper festival feeling, making both Inhumans, Goddesses, and Gods pleasant at what they have aplished. The roadside stalls sold fancy food and tasty snacks, and there were different marketces selling all sorts of exotic food and equipment.


    The Arena of Champions was so tall that someone could believe that by standing on the highest point, they could almost touch the sky.


    It was truly a marvelous sight.


    At the current time, a gathering was happening in the Arena of Champions lounge area, situated near the yers and New-Gen Human Quarters.


    Goddess Selene, Artemis, and Khione sat around a round table, and the TV mounted on the wall showed the Second Stage. The pirs of smoke still hadn''t disappeared.


    Their beautiful faces showed clear interest, but Selene looked doubtful.


    ''''Is hosting this tournament a wise idea?'''' She asked her two friends, ''''The Demons are already lurking in our backyard. I feel like we should focus on them, and not entertainment.''''


    ''''The Gods need to see the current strength of the Humans.'''' Artemis said with her melodious voice, like a voice of an angel, ''''If they are not happy with their current progress, the Gods might open the Gates of the Spawn Dimension, releasing all sorts of hell beasts.''''


    ''''That would be insanity.'''' Selene said with a worrying tone, ''''Everyone would be in danger.''''


    ''''Yes, but making the yers stronger is the main priority,'''' Artemis said with a slightly grave tone.


    ''''No, the priority is to keep everyone safe.'''' Khione opened her beautiful eyes, ''''This was the whole point. Make yers strong so that New-Gen Humans and the Humans from Four Season would be safe from the otherworldly threats.''''


    ''''Maybe, the fear has seeped into the hearts of the Gods¡­'''' Artemis muttered silently, ''''Their immortal existence is in danger, and some of them don''t care whether Humans would live or die.''''


    ''''We just have to pray that yers are stronger than expected,'''' Selene said.


    ''''Pray to who?'''' Khione asked with her usual cold tone.


    Selene and Artemis smiled weakly.


    ¡­


    Thest few days in the Secret Realm had been boring. The Third Event never came, and it felt like they were waiting for something.


    Everyone had a feeling in their hearts that something was going to happen.


    However, the time started reaching the end, making everyone feel surprised. Was this truly it?


    The second stage would end like this?


    Their answers got answered as the clock hit zero, and the second stage ended.


    Ding, ding!

    [¡­]


    After the revealed rankings, the shes of light shrouded every cave. All the duos that passed the second stage disappeared and traveled across countless realms until arriving on Moon City.


    ''''?!'''' Isaac fell down andnded on top of an immensely soft bed like he was lying on a marshmallow.


    The current room looked cozy, with a perfect view of Moon City and enough space to move around. There was a fancy wardrobe carved with exquisite craftsmanship and a bathroom with a bathtub and toilet.


    ''''This is¡­!'''' Isaac saw the beautiful scenery, making him remember Moon City. The buildings looked beautiful but not overly big. However, he knew how big the interiors truly were.


    After walking to the window, he saw constructor workers finishing building the Arena of Champions. Their faces were dusty and clothes slightly dirtied, but there were smiles on their faces.


    After finishing the front steps, they built one more thing, a statue at the entrance. The statue caused a spine-chilling terror in Isaac''s face. The statue looked to be a Giantess with a cold and beautiful face. Her bodily features were jaw-dropping and awe-inspiring.


    The words engraved on the statue said ''Nyx - The Primordial Goddess of Night''.


    Isaac closed the window with the long drapes, and the feeling of terror slowly faded away.


    ''Night¡­ night¡­'' A frown rose on his forehead, making him remember Zachary and the strange image of the Giantess. He felt like they were somehow connected. Maybe that had something to do with Zachary''s secret.


    Isaac took another look at the room, and it felt like he had walked into another universe. The difference between a crude cave room and this was worlds apart. After walking past the bed, Isaac tried opening the door, and it opened with ease.


    The hallway entered his view, and several familiar voices came from the end of the corridor.

 Chapter 566 The Arenas Lounge

    Chapter 566 The Arena''s Lounge


    Isaac walked down the hallway, admiring the exquisite craftsmanship that went into building these walls and ceilings. A chandelier hung from above, its chains coiled around the ceiling''s crevices.


    The voices grew louder as he stepped closer to the end of the hallway. He could already see a spacious lounge, filled with couches, TV screens, and a bar. The bar had its own bartender, a gentleman wearing a ck tuxedo, a white shirt underneath, and a ck tie.


    Around the tables, several familiar faces and a few unknown sat around the tables. Some drank the whiskey they received from the bar, while some smoked cigarettes, and the rest watched TV or talked with others.


    The TV showed images of a spacious Arena. There were seats enough for hundreds of thousands of humans and an arenarger than some small-sized City!


    Walking out of the hallway, Isaac''s footsteps echoed across the walls. Everyone turned to look at the neer, some faces showing surprise.


    ''''He is¡­ Wraith, if I remember correctly.'''' One of the yers murmured alongside the yers he sat with. They were professional yers, among the top 100 in the rankings. Their arrogance and pride in their abilities couldn''t make them take Isaac seriously.


    After all, Isaac wasn''t in the rankings. However, that was only because he decided to hide his ranking, to stay away from unnecessary drama. With his current level, he might be in the top ten if the yers who also hid their rankings didn''t count.


    As the arrogant-looking yers snorted, trying to increase the pressure emitted, suddenly, a voice echoed. A voice that was incredibly famous.


    ''''Isaac.'''' Seated alone, Kalzer waved his hand and pointed at the seat next to him.


    The yers widened their eyes in surprise.


    ''''W-What¡­ Kalzer invited him to sit with him?''''


    ''''I thought they were enemies? They were supposed to fight in the Colosseum, right?''''


    ''''But, why did he invite that weakling to sit with him?''''


    ''''Mind your tongue. There are no weaklings here.''''


    ''''Hmph, whatever.''''


    The chatter filled the air.


    Isaac sat next to Kalzer, nodding with a smile, ''''Sup.''''


    ''''Nothing much. What about you?''''


    ''''The usual.'''' Isaac looked around the lounge, then whispered, ''''Why do you think Arthur sent us here?''''


    Kalzer shrugged his shoulders. He also wanted the answer to that question. It seemed odd for Arthur to send them to this tournament. After all, he talked about a reward that would make all troubles worthwhile.


    But, in their opinion, even more trouble came after joining the tournament.


    Swoosh!


    A breeze of wind swept over the lounge, shocking many. Then, a blond-haired man with a blond beard appeared next to Kalzer out of nowhere. While others wore some protective equipment, he didn''t wear any armory and focused all his clothes on maximizing his movement speed.


    The yers immediately recognized him as the Fastest Human, King Xerxus!


    Kalzer and Isaac''s expressions didn''t change. Instead, they asked him the same question.


    After hearing the question, Xerxus pondered for a moment before replying, ''''Maybe we wouldn''t be able to join this tournament without his help?''''


    ''''Not sure. Seems very unlikely.'''' Kalzer said, and Isaac nodded.


    ''''Well, whatever the reason is, I am sure we will find out sooner thanter,'''' Xerxus said and waved towards the bartender, asking for a drink.


    However, then he felt a sharp stinging sensation on his waist.


    ''''Ouch!'''' Xerxus rubbed his waist and looked towards the right side. Lady Noelle looked at him with a stingy eye.


    ''''Drinking, are you serious right now?''''


    ''''Uhhh, I am thirsty,'''' Xerxus replied with puffy cheeks. His throat was parched, and he desperately needed a drink!


    ''''Here.'''' Lady Noelle took a bottle of water from inventory and forwarded it to Xerxus, who epted it grudgingly.


    As he drank the water, Isaac and Kalzer looked at the scene with odd faces.


    Lady Noelle wore a sweet smile, causing several onlookers'' hearts to race.


    ''''My name is Noelle. Nice to meet you.'''' She shook Kalzer''s hand and then Isaac''s.


    ''''Kalzer.''''


    ''''Wraith¡­'''' Isaac said at first, but then remembered that basically everyone used their real names, and everyone would be able to find his real name now. His poprity caused his real-life identity to get revealed, ''''I mean¡­ Isaac.''''


    Lady Noelle smiled at them and then rested her head on Xerxus'' shoulder, shocking many.


    Isaac and Kalzer''s eyebrows arched upward. They were confused about their rtionship.


    Seeing their faces, Noelle giggled and revealed, ''''I am Xerxus'' fiancee.''''


    ''''Wow¡­'''' Kalzer looked at Xerxus with an unexpected look. He didn''t expect him to be someone who would settle down and get married. The time they spent together made him think Xerxus wanted to be an adventurer.


    Isaac scratched his cheek, ''They are the same age as Luna and me. I hope she doesn''t get any weird ideas¡­''


    ''''Yo!'''' A energetic shout resounded from the other side of the lounger. The yers felt their hearts stopping for a moment as several people walked out of the hallway.


    Lord Amour walked to the front of the group, waving toward Isaac and the rest.


    Behind him, several familiar faces popped up.


    Lord Amour plopped down on the couch next to Isaac and said, ''''God damn it, Xerxus, your ability is so overpowered!''''


    ''''Pah, I am just good,'''' Xerxus said while tossing the water bottle away.


    However, Lady Noelle snatched it from the air and looked at him with a serious gaze, ''''Drink¡­ it!''''


    Looking at the bottle, there was barely any water left.


    ''''Ugh¡­'''' Xerxus groaned in pain but muttered a smile. Popping the cork open, he gulped the rest of the water down. Then, he returned the bottle to the smiling Noelle.


    ''''Uhhh, what?'''' Amour looked at the scene with confusion.


    Isaac and Kalzer sighed and exined the situation to him. After the whispering session, Amour bit his lip, trying to muffle hisughter.


    ''''Isaac!'''' A scent of pleasant aroma lingered in the air as a beautiful ck-haired girl leaped over andnded on Isaac''sp, her legs tightly wrapping around the waist and slender arms hugging his face.


    Isaac''s face got buried between two soft mounds, causing sighs of envy from the onlookers.

 Chapter ?567 Underlords Aura

    Chapter ?567 Underlord''s Aura


    "L-Luna¡­" Isaac pulled his head back, escaping from the deadly hug. His eyes locked with pair of beautiful ocean blue eyes, shimmering like pearls.


    Luna smiled while her long eyshes gently rose and fell. Everyone on the couch looked at the scene with varied expressions. They didn''t really know who the beautiful girl was, but they knew immediately what her rtionship with Isaac was.


    "And¡­ who is this?" Amour asked while Kalzer and Xerxus watched with round eyes. Lady Noelle peeked over Xerxus'' shoulder, curiously looking at Luna, and felt a sudden sense ofradeship with her.


    "Luna, my girlfriend," Isaac said. Even though everyone was almost certain, they still looked surprised to hear it aloud.


    "Damn¡­" Amour rubbed his imaginary beard, thinking about how surprising the scene was. Both Xerxus and Isaac seemed to be people who valued adventures the most. Hard to see them settling down with anyone.


    Amour slightly moved left, leaving enough space for Luna to sit down next to Isaac. She moved her butt out of Isaac''sp and sat next to him, their bodies touching each other.


    "Anyway, Xerxus, and¡­" Lord Amour looked at the brown-haired girl. Even though she looked slightly familiar, he couldn''t pinpoint who the person actually was.


    "Noelle." She replied with a sweet smile.


    "Ah, alright. You two, how did you receive so many points?" He asked; even though Amour knew that with Xerxus'' ability, receiving that many points weren''t impossible, it was still quite surprising.


    "Well, during the Firestorm, we received quite a lot of points." Noelle said while giggling innocently, "My dear just ran through the wall of fire, unharmed. Thus, he was able to enter other fights and received a lot of kills that way."


    "I see¡­" Amour sighed, resisting rolling his eyes. The ability seemed way too overpowered. However, they must be a weakness. At least, that''s what he kept thinking about.


    ''''Kalzer, who was your teammate?'''' Isaac asked curiously. He remembered the name ''Tyrion'' in the rankings, but he''d never heard about him.


    "Haaah¡­" Kalzer massaged his temples and pointed in the direction of the bar, "Him¡­"


    At the bar, a short-bearded man chugged down alcohol like it was water. Even the bartender looked slightly tired. The speed of drinking was unnatural.


    "More¡­" Tyrion said in his drunken tone. The stool shook beneath him, barely able to hold the staggering man''s bulky body.


    "I am not too sure about this¡­" The bartender said with the corner of his lips twitching.


    "MORE!" Tyrion screamed, this time, the bartender listened and poured down another bottle of alcohol.


    "Him? Are you serious?" Amour snorted with disgust. The feeling he received from Tyrion wasn''t pleasant. Already with a nce he could tell what kind of person he was.


    "Yes¡­" Kalzer sighed, looking away from the drunken man. During the stage, he didn''t do much fighting because Tyrion seemed desperate to show his power. However, in theter stages, they ended in a fight against another duo.


    However, this time, the duo was quite strong. Tyrion tried to fight them alone and, in the end, was on the verge of death. Then, Kalzer came, saved him, and killed the duo in a matter of seconds.


    The duo''s strength seemed otherworldly in the eyes of Tyrion, but Kalzer effortlessly killed them.


    "Isaac, who was your duo?" Xerxus asked.


    Everyone around the table turned to the handsome white-haired man, waiting for his answer.


    Isaac shrugged his shoulders, "A yer named Zachary. However, he isn''t in the lounge yet."


    "Zachary¡­" Kalzer murmured, "Doesn''t ring a bell."


    "Yeah, unknown yer?"


    "Any strong?" Amour asked, and Isaac nodded. There wasn''t even a doubt about it. Zachary was an incredibly strong yer, and with his strange set of skills, he could be one of the most formidable opponents in the tournament.


    Murmur¡­


    Suddenly, loud murmurs filled the air. The yers and nearby New-Gen Humans all looked towards the hallway. They felt coldness spreading around their body as if they had identally entered a freezer.


    A dead-looking man, with dark eyes, and a fragile-looking body, stepped out of the hallway, scanning everyone with his murky eyes. As his gaze went past Kalzer and rest, he finally stopped and exchanged nces with Isaac.


    Isaac frowned, ''Underlord¡­''


    "H-Hey, isn''t that Underlord?"


    "Y-Yeah¡­ what happened to him?"


    "He looks¡­ very sick. Does he have some disease?"


    "You feel this?" Kalzer asked from the others. They all nodded.


    Every yer had some sort of aura around them. The weak yers had a flickering aura that could be blown away by the wind. Slightly stronger yers have a small aura surrounding their bodies.


    Then, the stronger yer was, the stronger the aura. At the peak level, with aura alone, they could break the willpower of their enemies. Like, if Isaac unleashed his aura on level 10 Wolves, they would scurry away in fear.


    However, Underlord''s aura was unnatural.


    They felt like their auras were getting sucked by Underlord''s aura. It was impossible to see with the naked eye. However, an invisible whirlpool formed around Underlord, sucking everyone''s aura.


    That caused their bodies to feel cold. It was like walking in extreme cold with warm winter clothing, but then removing all the clothes and continuing walking naked in the middle of the snowstorm.


    Luna looked down at her trembling hands. This was a familiar feeling at the times when the Winter Illness cursed her body.


    ''This feeling is simr to Zachary¡­ something evil is hidden behind that face¡­'' Isaac looked over Underlord''s head, frowning seriously. There wasn''t anything except the nk wall. However, it was like he could see a disgusting smiling face.


    "Wow, are you alright, man?"


    A hand touched Underlord''s shoulder, causing the coldness to disappear into thin air.


    "?!" Underlord''s eyes widened in surprise. Turning to the right, he saw a ginger-haired man looking down at him. Behind those emotionless eyes, he could see an image of a scary Giantess.


    "You don''t look alright¡­ maybe you should visit a med bay?" Zachary asked with his usual smiling visage. However, his emotionless eyes caught a vision of a strange smiling face, resembling someone familiar.


    ''Hoo¡­ so, there was someone like me¡­ interesting.''

 Chapter ?568 The Strongest Player Alive

    Chapter ?568 The Strongest yer Alive


    ''''Hands off me!'''' Underlord pped the hand away. At the same time, he tried to apply his reality bending powers. However, all attempts to change the reality were warded off by Zachary.


    ''''Fine, jeez.'''' Zachary rubbed his red-fleshed hand and walked to one of the empty tables. After sitting, he ced his legs on the table, positioned his arms behind his head, and rxed while watching the TV.


    Underlord looked at his hand, shock shing over his eyes. The red circuits of electricity wrapped around his finger and flesh. There was also the strange ck smoke that came out of his fingertips. His powers still worked.


    However, for some reason, Zachary managed to remove all effects without doing anything.


    ''Erebus, what is this?!'' Underlord screamed inside his mind. Trying to dig deep into his consciousness.


    ''He¡­'' A strange trembling voice echoed from the far deep of his consciousness, ''Has¡­ powers¡­ of¡­ Primordial!''


    ''Someone like me?! But, you said I was the only one!''


    To the onlookers, it looked like Underlord''s face reddened suddenly. They weren''t aware that he was shouting inside his mind, having a conversation with an ancient being.


    ''You are not¡­ only one¡­ anymore¡­''


    ''Damn it!'' Underlord left his consciousness and looked at Zachary with crimson eyes. Knowing that there was someone like him made him change some of his ns. He thought that the Tournament would be a piece of cake. But doesn''t seem like it.


    Everyone watched as Underlord turned away and left the lounge. After his silhouette disappeared in the hallway, the discussions returned.


    ''''It''s him.'''' Isaac said while ncing at Zachary, ''''My¡­ teammate.''''


    ''''He is indeed strong.'''' Kalzer said calmly with half-closed eyes, ''''To ward off Underlord''s strange aura¡­ it''s not easy.''''


    As time went by, the yers, one after another, started thinking about ns to go out of the Arena. However, they were not certain whether they were allowed. They were only visitors, and maybe Inhumans wouldn''t be pleased to see them.


    This was their first time in Moon City. After all, it was very hard toe here. However, Isaac knew that Inhumans wouldn''t mind. But, he wasn''t sure how the Goddesses and Gods would react.


    At the peak of the conversation, the TV screen suddenly changed the views. From the images of the Arena, a beautiful veiled figure appeared on the screen. Her face looked to be obscure. But, everyone could tell how beautiful she was.


    ''''The Contenders of the Tournament of Champions, we wee you.'''' She said in her angelic voice, ''''My name is Goddess Selene. I am the Goddess of the Moon.''''


    ''''Goddess of the Moon¡­'''' Luna murmured softly.


    Everyone sat silently, watching the screen with their interest piqued.


    ''''Final Stage starts tomorrow. Till then, you may log off, rx your mind, and return before 10 o''clock in the morning.


    ''''However, you may also stay here. The rooms where you spawned are yours, and you may use them as you wish. You can also leave the Arena and tour the City. Tomorrow, once the Gods and Goddesses havee to the Arena alongside the residents of Moon City, we will announce the format of the final stage.''''


    After the final words, the TV screen turned nk.


    Everyone whispered in excitement. Most of them nned to visit Moon City, while some logged out immediately. After all, most of them hadn''t seen their families for over a week and were missing them.


    ''''What are you guys going to do?'''' Amour asked.


    ''''It''s not every day you can visit Moon City¡­'''' Kalzer stood up, preparing to leave the Arena.


    Following him, everyone around the table stood up and left the lounge. After they left, the yers started logging out and leaving the Arena with their own groups.


    Walking down the long hallway, Isaac soon noticed a shimmer of lighting from another end. There was another lounge filled with even more yers. He could see familiar faces, such as Darth, Queen Diana, and King Jonathan, seated around the same table.


    One of the tables had King Michael and Colossus puffing their muscles as they looked at King Jonathan, etc.


    ''''Darth.'''' Hearing the voiceing behind, Darth, Queen Diana, and King Jonathan turned around. They were pleasantly surprised to see Isaac, but then, their faces froze.


    The atmosphere in the lounge turned silent. Everyone looked to be shocked as Kalzer, Xerxus, Amour, and Noelle appeared.


    No one dared to utter a sound¡­ except, one.


    ''''Amour!''''


    ''''That voice¡­'''' Lord Amour rubbed his neck, his face showing a serious frown. A towering figure appeared before him. King Arawn held his one-handed axe and stood proudly with his head held high.


    The atmosphere turned serious as two titans shed with their auras.


    ''''Omg.'''' Colossus held his mouth and felt like passing out. Two of his idols stood on their grounds while exchanging blows with their auras. The lounge seemed to be shrouded in an invisible pressure, making standing hard for many.


    Darth paled and had to take a step back. The amount of pressure was too much for him.


    Even Queen Diana and King Jonathan had difficulty keeping their sweat from flowing.


    ''''Enough.'''' Kalzer grabbed their shoulders and subdued both of their auras!


    ''''Kalzer¡­'''' King Arawn gulped and felt his knees going weaker as Kalzer''s hand pushed him down.


    Lord Amour smirked, ''''Fine¡­''''


    The battle of auras ended, and the pressure disappeared from the air.


    Isaac looked at the pale-faced Darth and asked, ''''Wannae to tour the City with us?''''


    ''''With¡­ us?'''' Darth looked at them, and when hepared himself to them. He was nothing.


    The legendary Spear God, perhaps the strongest yer alive, Lord Kalzer.


    The Undefeated Warrior God, Lord Amour.


    The Fastest Human Alive, Speed God, King Xerxus.


    The Strongest Thief, Lady Noelle.


    ''''Yeah, with us.'''' Isaac pointed at everyone behind him, and then turned to Diana, and Jonathan, ''''Want toe as well?''''


    ''''Sure¡­'''' Queen Diana and King Jonathan replied with slightly weak smiles. They were often revered and respected everywhere they went. But, the presence of the four Human Gods was simply too much.


    Isaac then turned to Darth, ''''Should we go meet Iah and Mona? It has been some time since west met them.''''


    Darth immediately remembered the two faces that helped with their tests. He nodded.


    ''''I wille too!'''' King Arawn flexed his muscles, ''''Amour, I will defeat you!''''


    ''''Whatever¡­'''' Amour rolled his eyes.


    ''Cecilia isn''t here...'' Luna thought to herself as she looked around the lounge.


    The group, which was now four people bigger, left the lounge under the shocked faces of everyone present. This group alone could perhaps clear any dungeon in the world!

 Chapter ?569 The Meeting with Iah, and Mona

    Chapter ?569 The Meeting with Iah, and Mona


    The Moon City shone with a brilliant luster.


    The Gods roamed the earth, walking alongside Inhumans in the bustling streets. Nevertheless, they were orded the utmost reverence and respect by everyone.


    Before entering any of the stores, they gazed in the direction of the Moon City Arena, amazement shing in their eyes. Even some of the buildings in the God Realm paled inparison.


    "Wow, this ce is beautiful." Luna let out peals of amazement while walking alongside the sidewalk. She was apanied by a group of yers. While King Arawn and Lord Amour bickered, others enjoyed the sights to the fullest.


    "We are here." Isaac''s words caught their attention. They stopped before a courtyard with a tall metal fence blocking their path. At the top of the gate, the words ''Moon''s Range'' were adorning the sight.


    Darth walked next to him, feeling a wave of nostalgia. He softly touched the gate, and pushed it gently open.


    After the gate opened, Isaac, and Darth stepped into the courtyard. The scene looked familiar with flourishing grass patches, a stone wall at the far end of the yard, and a wooden door. The white house adorned with square-shaped windows acted as a home for two.


    ''''We are closed!'''' A deep voice rang from the house, ''''If it''s you Liam, I suggest you to pick up your feet, and get out! Last time you shot with eyes closed, fucking eyes closed! How dumb can you fucking be?''''


    Kalzer, and the rest heard the shouting from the sidewalks. They smiled weirdly, curious about the person Darth, and Isaac went to meet. They decided to wait outside because having more people would just be a bother.


    ''''Honey...'''' A sweet voice, followed by a long sigh, came from behind the door. Soon, a lovely woman in her 30s appeared with an eternal glow radiating off her face. She could be mistaken as a teenager with her youthful vigor.


    Mona blinked with surprise as she saw Darth, standing with a bow hanging over his shoulder. It didn''t take long for her to realize who he was.


    ''''Darth!'''' She eximed pleasantly.


    ''''Mona.'''' Darth smiled, and shared hugs with the lovely woman. Shortly afterward, the muscr man stomped out of the house. Iah looked at Darth hugging his wife with a murderous expression. However, then he recognized him as the ck-haired brat he met over a year ago.


    ''''Darth.'''' Iah shook hands with Darth. After that, they noticed another presence in the courtyard. A white-haired man with a powerful aura.


    ''''Hmm, who is this?'''' Mona, and Iah asked.


    Darth chuckled, ''''It''s Wraith.''''


    ''''What?!'''' They shouted in disbelief. A memory of a cute-looking boy shed over their minds. The current person looked vastly different. Such a transformation would seem impossible to happen in a year.


    ''''Mona, and Iah." Isaac greeted them with his deeper voice. The voice had some simrities, but it was still deeper, and more powerful sounding.


    After making sure that he was actually Isaac, they got seated around a round table while Mona went to fetch tea.


    ''''Why have you twoe here?'''' Iah asked, ''''It''s always a pleasure to meet old acquaintances, but is there a deeper reason?''''


    Darth looked away into the distance. The tall Arena''s lights rayed in his direction, ''''See that Arena?''''F


    ''''Yes, and?'''' After asking, Iah''s eyes slightly bulged as he started to understand what he meant.


    ''''We arepeting in the Tournament of Champions.'''' Isaac said, and he noticed Mona''s frozen figure at the doorway. She carried the teapot with a surprised face.


    ''''I see. That is indeed a surprise.'''' Iah chuckled with a surprised expression. To think that the two brats from a year ago had reached such a level. To be spectated by the Gods was the ultimate honor many desired.


    Mona sat down on her seat, and ced the teapot on the table. Then, she softly poured everyone their drinks, and after that, she lowered the teapot, and said, ''''That is indeed a surprise. Even two of us nned to visit the Arena, maybe watch the tournament.''''


    Amid the tea, they caught up with everything. In the past year, Iah had trained several gunmen, and even had the pleasure of guiding one of the visiting Gods. The Moon''s Range was well known among the Inhumans.


    ''''By the way, Wraith, what has happened to you?'''' Mona had to ask. She was dying to know the secret to Isaac''s transformation.


    Iah, and Darth turned to look at him also. While Iah thought that maybe Isaac went on rampage, and trained till his dying breath, Darth didn''t know what to think. The transformation came as a surprise to everyone. It happened so suddenly.


    The reason for Isaac''s transformation was the removal of God illness. It kept him from growing past a certain point.


    Isaac sipped the tea, and answered, ''''Puberty.''''


    Mona covered her mouth, and giggled. Even a blind man would know that it was definitely not because of puberty. The growth was inhuman.


    Iah rubbed his small beard, thinking, ''Is he hiding some kind of secret training method?''


    Darth sipped the tea while thinking, ''Maybe it''s because of breaking the chains?''


    ''''Ahem, Isaac.'''' They all turned towards the entrance of the courtyard. A beautiful ck-haired girl waved her hand while showing the clock. There was a time limit on how much they could waste time in the City. They all wanted to get a proper rest before tomorrow''s long day.


    ''''Ah, it seems that time is running out.'''' Isaac finished the tea, and stood up from the chair, ''''Mona, Iah, it was a pleasure to meet you."


    ''''Same, same.'''' Iah shook their hands firmly.


    Mona hugged Darth, and then wrapped her arms around Isaac''s waist while whispering, ''''Your girlfriend?''''


    ''''How...'''' Isaac didn''t know how she knew that, with just a nce.


    Mona left the hug with a teasing smile, ''''Easy to know. Everyone with a nce would notice.''''


    ''Notice? Notice what?'' Isaac shrugged his shoulders, and left the courtyard with Darth. As the metal fence slowly creaked shut, they continued their walk towards another destination.

 Chapter 570 The Punching Game

    Chapter 570 The Punching Game


    ''''Amour!'''' King Arawn''s crisp voice reverberated across the air. The nearby pedestrians turned around, watched the tall man with curious expressions. They wondered why he wore animal fur as clothing, and why he held a one-handed axe over his right shoulder.


    ''''Sigh, what?'''' Amour''s window shopping was interrupted by Arawn''s loud voice. He turned to see Arawn standing beside a roadside stall. They were currently near the Arena, which had a lot of different roadside stalls filled with food, and different amusements.


    Arawn stood beside a roadside stall that had a punching game. There was a punching bag with a row of numbers on top. Next to it was a leaderboard. The top ranked reached a punching power of 7986.


    After punching the bag, it would calcte the punching power. An average human would have around 500, a stronger human around 1000. Thus, the current top ranked had the punching power worth of seven very strong humans.


    Lord Amour''s interest was piqued as he walked to the punching machine. The roadside stall owner gulped as two yers faced each other. While locking gazes, it looked like there was an invisible war happening.


    ''''Hmm, this looks fun!'''' Xerxus and Kalzer walked towards them, looking interested as well.


    Isaac stood in the middle of Luna, and Noelle as they watched the collection of different jewelry. However, after hearing themotion, Isaac turned around and saw the punching machine. His eyes shone.


    ''''Excuse me. Buy whatever, I will pay.'''' Isaac quickly excused himself as he ran to the punching machine.


    ''''Tsk, boys.'''' Luna, and Noelle clicked their tongues at the same time. They couldn''t see the appeal in punching some kind of bag. However, for the boys, it was a perfect chance to see who had the strongest physical prowess.


    Shortly afterward, Darth also walked to the punching machine alongside Jonathan, and Diana.


    ''''Who is going first?'''' The owner asked after receiving the payment from everyone. The yers were now sharing nces and having an invisible battle.


    ''''Let''s see...'''' Amour rubbed his chin, and raised his hand, ''''Alphapetical order?''''


    ''''Fine by me.'''' Arawn nodded along with everyone else.


    ''''In-game name or real?'''' Isaac had to ask.


    ''''In-game.'''' Amour said, receiving nods from everyone.


    ''''Then, the order is this: Amour, Arawn, Darth, Diana, Jonathan, Kalzer, Wraith, and Xerxus.''''


    They all nodded, and everyone stood on the sidelines as Amour stopped before the punching bag. Crack, crack, after cracking his knuckles, he slowly reeled in his right fist. The atmosphere turned tense as a shallow glow resonated within his fist.


    Then, he rotated his waist, and shoulder at the same time while pulling his fist even further back. After that, the veins protruded from the bulging muscles as he speared his fist forward.


    THWACK!


    The punching bag rocked back and forth after the punchnded. At the same time, the number adorning the top started shuffling with intense speed.


    Quickly, the score went above 1000, and 2000. The numbers were blurry as they moved incredibly quickly. After ten seconds of waiting, the number started slowing down. Everyone held their breath as the score slowly stopped.


    The owner of the stall watched the number with bulging eyes.


    [1. Lord Amour - Score: 10145]


    ''''Wohoo!'''' Amourughed joyfully as he flexed his muscles.


    p, p.


    The nearby Inhumans smacked their hands together and filled the air with ps. Most of them had tried the machine, and didn''t even get past 1000.


    ''''Tsk, decent.'''' King Arawn clicked his tongue but had to nod in approval.


    The owner of the stall pulled out an stuffed animal from the counter, and handed it over to Amour with shaky hands, ''''T-T-This is yours.''''


    ''''Oh, thanks.'''' Amour epted it, and put it inside inventory, thinking, ''One of our servants had an baby... hmm, might as well give the stuffed animal to her.''


    ''''My turn!'''' King Arawn stomped over to the machine, flexing his muscles. The Inhumans, and everyone watching turned silent.


    ''''Haaaahh....'''' King Arawn raised his fist over his right shoulder. The wind blew strongly, even making the punching bag move back, and forth slightly. Then, he kicked the ground with his left leg, and smashed his fist on the punching bag.


    THWACK!!


    This time, the bag moved back and forth with terrifying momentum. The owner of the stall looked afraid, thinking that he might have broken it!


    However, it worked well as the blurry number rose rapidly.


    Everyone waited with steady breaths.


    After another ten seconds of waiting, the number slowly stopped.


    They turned to the number, and another shock awaited them.


    [1. King Arawn - Score: 11005]


    [2. Lord Amour - Score: 10145]


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' King Arawn''s mockingughter reached Amour''s irritated ears.


    ''''Tsk, whatever.'''' Lord Amour spat on the ground with an annoyed expression, ''My strength doesn''t lie in my physical strength... and, I didn''t use my ''Power'' while punching.''


    p, p!


    This time, the Inhumans pped even louder. They looked to be truly excited.


    However, then Darth stepped onto the stage with a slightly paler face. To think that two monsters were before him. Now, there was a big chance of embarrassing himself because, most likely, he wouldn''t reach even near their scores!


    Raising his fist, he gathered all the Strength Stat into his fist. A spark of his aura gathered at the frontline of his fist. And thenstly, he moved his entire body as he sent his fist flying.


    Thwack!


    The punch looked solid, and even the punching bag rocked back and forth. However, everyone knew that it was miles away from Amour''s, and Arawn''s strength.


    The strength rose rapidly until it started slowly slowing down.


    Shortlyter, the number appeared.


    [4. Darth - Score: 7804]


    p, p.


    The Inhumans still pped as it was still an incredibly impressive amount.


    ''''Good job.'''' Amour patted Darth''s shoulder as he walked past him.


    ''''Thanks...'''' Darth replied quietly, as he hid his bloody hand. He put all his effort into that punch, and his hand broke.


    ''''Now, my turn!'''' Diana''s charming smile attracted attention as she walked next to the punching bag. Everyone wondered whether she would be able to go even above 5000 with her slender arms.


    However, soon their sense of reality broke as Diana reeled in her fist, and punched with all her might. At the onlookers, while swinging her fist, she looked like an War Goddess.


    THWACK!


    The bag heavily rocked back and forth. The number rose for ten seconds before stopping.


    Diana smiled, and moved the hair strands over her left ear, ''''Nice.''''


    [3. Queen Diana - Score: 9999]

    ''''Wow, nice!'''' The Inhumans looked impressed as the thundering sound of pping filled the air.


    Diana high-fived with others as she left the punching machine. The owner of the stall watched with his mouth agape. He even forgot to give them rewards. However, at this rate, all his stuffed animals would disappear.


    ''''I guess it''s my turn.'''' Jonathan straightened his sleeves as he stepped toward the punching bag. After pressing several invisible buttons, his armor got sucked into the inventory. Now, he stood with his meager linen tunic, and fingerless gloves.


    Everyone watched in silence.


    ''''Whoo...'''' Jonathan''s fist protruded with veins as he smashed it against the punching bag. As his fingers touched the bag, he could feel a surge of power rushing through the febric.


    THWACK!


    The punching bag heavily moved backward. It looked like it got hit by a truck.


    Everyone watched with racing hearts as the numbers raced toward the top.


    Soon, the number stopped, showing another incredible number.

    ''''Ahh, damn it.'''' Jonathan shook his head with disappointment. He knew that he could do much better score, but there were people waiting. He shrugged his shoulders, and high-fived with others as he walked away from the punching bag.


    The Inhumans pped loudly with a booming sound.


    After he left, the atmosphere grew tense. Everyone turned to Kalzer, the person whose turn is next. King Arawn, and Lord Amour squinted their eyes.


    Kalzer smiled as he walked over to the punching bag. Everyone watching immediately realized that he wasn''t ordinary. The Inhumans felt a strange source of power whirling around Kalzer. They realized that they were witnessing someone extraordinary.


    ''''Let''s see...'''' Kalzer opened, and tightened his right fist. He rarely used his fists to fight, and often used his spear. However, the spear needed a great amount of physical strength. In particr, wielding Gungnir is extremely taxing.


    ''''Haaaaa...'''' While heaving a long sigh, Kalzer moved his hand backward, and clenched it tightly. A strange white aura shrouded his fist. The atmosphere turned heavy as everyone felt breathing bing harder.


    Finally, Kalzer released his fist. His hand shredded through the air as the fistnded on the punching bag.


    THWACK!!


    The number jumped up several thousands within a millisecond. After ten seconds, the number was already in five numbers, and didn''t seem to have any intention of stopping. However, soon it slowed down, and froze.


    Everyone turned to the number with wide eyes.


    [1. Lord Kalzer - 13090]


    CLAP, CLAP!


    The loudest round of apuse echoed in the air. The Inhumans cheered while pping till their hands turned red.


    ''''Damn it...'''' King Arawn clicked his tongue.


    Lord Amour sighed, ''I should have used my ''Power''... I would have won...''


    Kalzer high-fived with others as he walked away from the punching bag. Then, everyone''s eyes turned to Isaac.


    Luna, and Noelle finished their jewelry shopping, and came to watch themotion. For some reason, arge crowd started gathering around the punching stall. A big crowd of Inhumans whispered with excitement.


    They watched as Isaac walked to the punching bag. The hidden muscles slowly revealed themselves, making everyone widen their eyes in surprise. They knew that his stature was quite athletic, but they didn''t expect him to have much muscle.


    However, the slightly baggy outfitpletely fooled them. Isaac removed the camouge outfit, and tossed it over to the inventory. They all witnessed the scene.


    ''''Whoo...'''' Isaac moved his left leg forward and ced his two arms in front of him. He went into an Orthodox Boxing Stance.


    While others didn''t use stances, Isaac used the stance he learned from the Dojo.


    Then, lowering his gravity slightly, Isaac twisted his waist, and rotated his shoulder simultaneously. His punch flew through the air explosively.


    THWACK!!


    As the punchnded on the bag, it started swinging back, and forth. The chains holding the punching bag creaked loudly as it started feeling a strain after receiving several strong punches.


    The owner of the stall gulped, fearful that his machine might broke down at this rate.


    Kalzer crossed his arms and watched as the number rose quickly.


    King Arawn raised his eyebrow. Before, he didn''t take a good look at the white-haired man. But now, he felt like he looked familiar.


    Amour watched silently, frowning as the number rose rapidly.


    Slowly, the number stopped rising, revealing the score.


    [4. Wraith - Score: 10140]


    ''''Ah.'''' Isaac shook his head with slight disappointment. He knew that he wouldn''t be able to reach Kalzer''s number. But, he thought that he would be able to beat Amour, at least.


    p, p!


    The spectators pped loudly. This was the fourth over 10k score, and it was an incredible achievement. It needed a loud apuse, and that''s what Isaac received.


    ''''Good try.'''' Amour high-fived with Isaac as he walked away from the machine.


    ''''Now, Xerxus.''''


    They all turned towards Xerxus. He watched in silence during the entire time while humming a song. After hearing his namee up, he shrugged, and walked to the machine.


    The Inhumans looked at him with slightly disinterested expressions. Compared to others, he didn''t look impressive.


    ''''Xerxus, you can do it!'''' Noelle shouted loudly while trying to peek over the Inhumans'' shoulders.


    Xerxus stopped a meter away from the punching bag. Without waiting a second, he sloppily punched the bag. However, at the moment of contact, his fist blurred, and several loud booms echoed in the air.


    The bag got thrown back with a heavy force.


    The number rose rapidly.


    ''''Wait, that''s not allowed!'''' Amour shouted with mouth agape.


    ''''What''s not?'''' Xerxus tilted his head.


    ''''Using your abilities!''''


    ''''What abilities?''''


    Lord Amour''s jaw dropped. After seeing the expressions of Inhumans, he realized that none of them noticed his hand moving with superspeed. However, he and other yers noticed.


    Kalzer facepalmed with a tiny smile.


    The number soon stopped, shocking everyone.


    [1. King Xerxus - Score: 14000]


    ''''What?!'''' As expected, everyone shouted in disbelief. They thought that the punch looked incredibly sloppy, but it had such strength behind it?!


    ''This guy...'' Amour''s eyebrow twitched with annoyance, ''He punched over hundred times in that instant.''


    King Arawn clicked his tongue.


    Isaac watched the rankings. His name was now fifth, and the previous top 1 before them, stood at the 8th spot.

 Chapter 572 The Tournament

    Chapter 572 The Tournament


    ''''That was fun.'''' Kalzer said as everyone received their rewards from the stall owner. The crowd slowly started dispersing as they saw that everyone had finished trying the machine.


    ''''Yes... if someone didn''t cheat!'''' Amour looked at Xerxus with tired eyes.


    Xerxus innocently smiled, ''''No one said that punching with superspeed wasn''t allowed.''''


    ''''That''s right!'''' A sweet voice sounded behind him. Noelle jumped, and wrapped her arms around his neck, hugging him like a ko, ''''Honey, you were great!''''


    ''''Tsk.'''' Amour clicked his tongue, and nced at the rankings before puffing, and turning away.


    ''''The time is gettingte...'''' Luna walked next to them, and showed the clock. Surprisingly, the night had already dawned.


    ''''I think we should return.'''' Kalzer said while looking at the starry sky. It fooled them, thinking that there might be still a few hours left. However, since there wasn''t a proper way to track time in Moon City, it was hard to know when it was night or morning.


    The rest nodded, and they bid farewell to the teary-eyed stall owner, and left.


    Finally, those monsters are gone!'' He cheered joyfully while streams rolled down his cheeks. There weren''t any rewards left for the punching machine.


    ''''Excuse me, can I try?'''' A deep voice asked.


    ''''I am sorry sir, but there wouldn''t be any rewards left.'''' The owner wiped his teary eyes, and turned to the person who spoke. His jaw dropped as he had to looked way up. An monster of a man stood tall, easily over three meters in height.


    He wore a long robe that fell over his unnaturally strong frame, and he had a thick brown beard that ran down from the point of his chin.


    ''''Doesn''t matter.'''' He said with his very deep voice.


    ''''A-Alright.'''' The owner nodded shakily, and didn''t even dare to ask for payment.


    The tall man walked to the punching bag. He slowly raised his gloved hand. The size of his fist was as big as the owner''s head.


    Moving his hand back, the tall man gritted his teeth, and shouted, ''''Rah!''''


    The single shout echoed to far awaynds.


    The Inhumans looked confusedly around, wondering where the shout came from. But then, an earthquake shook the ground!


    ''''A-A-Ah...'''' The owner fell to his buttocks with terror filling his face. His machiney on the ground, the punching bag broken in half.


    However, the number showed a number, and the ranking showed a new name.


    [1. Kratos - Score: 100000]


    ...


    ''''Earthquake?!'''' Xerxus shouted as he tried to keep standing. However, short momentter, the quaking stopped.


    Several roadside stalls fell over because of the earthquake. The Inhumans looked fearful because that might have been the first ever earthquake that happened in Moon City. They didn''t even think it could be possible.


    ''''Strange...'''' Isaac thought since he didn''t know that earthquakes were possible in the moon. However, they soon shrugged off the strange phenomenon, and walked back to the Arena.


    The construction workers had returned to their homes several hours ago, emptying the Arena from everyone else other than yers, and New-Gen Humans.


    ''''Luna!'''' A voice echoed from a nearby bench, situated near the Arena''s entrance.


    ''''She is...'''' Xerxus, and Arawn recognized her.


    Luna turned to the voice, and smiled with a pleasant expression.


    Queen Cecilia picked up her books, and stood up from the bench. She skipped over to them, and excitedly said, ''''This ce is amazing!''''


    ''''Yes, this is perhaps the most beautiful ce I have been in.'''' Luna excitedly told everything they saw to Cecilia. Both of them noticed the strange buildings that looked smaller outside, but were huge inside.


    Queen Cecilia then turned to others, and showed her tongue after seeing Xerxus, and Arawn. Then, she waved to Diana, and to Jonathan. They all met during the Beta Testing, and she didn''t have very pleasurable meeting with Xerxus, and Arawn.


    However, she got along with Diana and Jonathan.


    ''''Wow, so many famous people!'''' She said with a giggle as she looked at Kalzer, and Amour. Lastly, she saw Darth, but looked over him quite quickly, and then saw Isaac. Her eyes widened in surprise as she instantly skipped over to him, and shook his hand excitedly.


    ''''This is honor!'''' She shouted excitedly.


    ''''Oh?'''' Isaac looked at her as she shook his hand.


    ''''I am a big fan of your books!''''


    ''''Oh, I see.'''' Isaac smiled, and talked about his books with her while they entered the Arena. Apparently, she visited his store in Priesthood, but he doesn''t remember seeing her.


    However, his store received thousands of customers per day, and sometimes, during those days he wasn''t always the storekeeper. He had to hire workers because there was too much traffic, and if he worked alone there with Luna, he wouldn''t ever be able to level up.


    After they reached the yers'' quarters, they all bid farewells, and left to their own rooms. Luna left with Cecilia, and Noelle, walking to the female quarters. They were separated by male, and female quarters.


    Isaac entered his room, and closed the door behind him. After checking the time, he decided to rest. Tomorrow was an big day.


    ...


    ''''Here, put it here!'''' A sharp-tongued man shouted, pointing at the statue.


    A tired-looking man followed him while carrying a bag filled with cameras. They were both employees of Legacy Company. It was their job to nt the cameras on the Arena, at ces they wouldn''t be seen. Thus, they could use these cameras to livestream the event.


    They had to do it silently because if the Gods knew about it, they wouldn''t let them do it. Thus, at the dawn of the night, they sneaked into the Arena to nt these cameras.


    They hid them, and ced them in areas that have good visibility to the Arena.


    After done, they logged off from the game, and activated those cameras in real-life.


    At the current Headquarters of Legacy Company, the room with thousands of monitors was re-built.


    After activating the cameras, all the monitors showed different angles of the arena. They were all set for tomorrow''s tournament.


    Emilia nodded with satisfaction, smiling tiredly, ''''Arthur, I trust in your judgement... if you think it''s better to livestream the event, even at the cost of angering the Gods, then we shall listen to you.''''

 Chapter ?573 Supreme God

    Chapter ?573 Supreme God


    ''''Activate it.'''' Goddess Selene said in her angelic voice while standing in a dimly lit room with three other heavenly beauties. They stood before an stone-framed portal.


    Next to her, Artemis, Khione, and Hecate activated the portal.


    The portal started activating. From the stone, a golden particles seeped out, and started connecting with other particles. Slowly, a swirling portal appeared.


    The Four Goddesses stepped back, and stood silently as several silhouettes started stepping out of the portal.


    ''''Hihihihi...'''' A blur ran out of the portal, and mmed the doors open, revealing the Arena''s golden hallways. The dimly lit room brightened significantly.


    ''''God Mercury.'''' Goddess Selene greeted theughing speedster with a gentle smile.


    ''''Selene, beautiful as ever.'''' God Mercury leaned against the open doors. He was quite short, around 165cm in height, and wore white robes. His beautiful silvery hair coupled with his handsome face made him look rather pleasant.


    His features resembled God Hermes'' in several ways. That''s because they were twin brothers. Sons of Zeus.


    The tapping sound echoed in the hallways as more Gods, and Goddesses stepped out of the portal. They all had distinct features that made them stand out.


    ''''Goddess Aphrodite, God Poseidon, Goddess Hera, God Apollo...'''' Goddess Selene named all the Gods, and Goddesses while they walked past her, and entered the hallways. Over a hundred Gods, and Goddesses walked out of the portal.


    ''''Selene!'''' Then, God Zeus walked out of the portal, andughed loudly.


    ''''God Zeus.'''' Goddess Selene bowed with a smile. Three other heavenly beauties also lowered their heads as a sign of respect, and loyalty.


    God Zeus patted their shoulders as he walked into the hallways. Everyone that left the portal already entered their private viewing rooms. From there, they had a perfect view of the arena.


    As soon as God Zeus left, the room turned eerily quiet. Two individuals stepped out of the portal, wearing all ck.


    ''''God Hades, and Goddess Persephone.'''' They again nodded.


    God Hades was an attractive middle-aged man with dark hair, and ck robes. However, the dark energy he emitted made everyone think twice before talking to him. Next to him, was his wife, Goddess Persephone.


    She wore an all-ck dress with her long ck hair flowing down her open back. Without a doubt, she was another heavenly beauty, but she looked like a goth with her ck eyeliner.


    After they left the room, the four Goddesses straightened their backs, thinking that it must have been everyone. However, again the portal whirled, and revealed another group of Gods.


    A split second of surprise shed in the Goddesses'' eyes.


    Odin, and Loki stepped out of the portal with grim visages. Behind them were several dozen other Norse Gods, silently following behind.


    ''''God Odin, God Loki, God Baldur...'''' After naming all the Gods, the Norse Gods walked past them without taking a single nce.


    ''''I didn''t expect them toe here...'''' Goddess Artemis murmured, ''''But, why isn''t God Thor here? He always likes to see a good fight.''''


    ''''Not sure, but their faces looked grim...'''' Goddess Hecate said with a frown.


    ''''Hihihihi...'''' Out of nowhere, another God stepped out of the portal amidughter.


    ''''T-That voice!'''' The Goddesses turned to look at the God with faces of shock. Before them stood a bare-chested man with blue skin. His messy, long ck hair flowed over his broad shoulders. From his neck, several pieces of jewelry hung, each showing special symbols.


    The God of Destruction, and the Destroyer of Evil, God Shiva!


    ''''G-God Shiva!'''' The Four Goddesses knelt on the ground. They didn''t kneel in the presence of the Supreme Gods Zeus, and Odin. However, in front of Shiva, they did!


    The Goddesses didn''t know why Shiva came here. He rarely stepped out of his own realm, never appearing in public. However, today, he came to watch a fight between mortals. They couldn''tprehend it!


    God Shiva stepped past them. His footsteps echoed through the hallways, causing every God, and Goddesses in their own viewing rooms to turn their heads in the direction of the sound.


    After sitting down on thefy couch, God Zeus saw the entire arena in its full glory. The audience stands were already packed with excited-looking Inhumans. However, then he felt the strong presence.


    ''''He is here...'''' With pleasantly surprised face, he waved his hand, and the door to his room swung wide open. After waiting for a second, God Shiva stepped into his room with a distant smile.


    ''''God Shiva, what a pleasant surprise!''''


    ''''Heh.'''' God Shiva plopped down on the couch, crossing his legs while looking at the arena, ''''Was it a surprise, though?''''


    God Zeus sneakily grinned, and turned to the arena, ''''Perhaps.''''


    In the dimly lit room, the Goddesses finally managed to shrug off the shock they felt after seeing another Supreme God appear.


    Tap, tap, tap.


    However, as soon as they woke up from their stupor, another pair of footsteps came from the portal. As soon as the single leg stepped out of the portal, a warm shroud enveloped the entire room. Slowly, a man with golden hair appeared from the portal.


    He wore an all-golden outfit with two weapons hanging from his waist. A golden scepter hung from his left-handed side, and Ankh hung from the right-handed side of his waist.


    The Goddesses widened their eyes in shock.


    God of the Sun, Ra!


    Before God Zeus, he was the King of Deities, and the Father of all Creation. Before the time of Zeus, he was the King of God Realm. However, after growing older, he left that ce vacant, and in the end, God Zeus managed to be the new King.


    However, Ra''s legend still lived strongly, and his image was engraved on almost every pir found in the God Realm.


    The Goddesses'' mouths stayed open as God Ra walked past them. His aged eyes only looked forward. After the warmth arrived in the arena, everyone knew who it was that had arrived.


    God Zeus, and Shiva nced in the direction of the door. The warmth went past the door, and continued walking till it disappeared.


    ''''To think that he came.'''' God Shiva thought with a snort.


    God Zeus looked seriously at the arena, ''''Why did hee? I thought he enjoyed his retirement, and didn''t bother about earthly matters.''''


    ''''This will be interesting...''''

    ''''It''s starting soon!'''' Isabe''s shout echoed in therge mansion. Her belly had grown slightly as a result of the pregnancy. However, it didn''t diminish her beauty.


    The TV screen showed a countdown to the start of the event. It was less than ten minutes before the start.


    ''''Coming...'''' Maxwell walked out of the kitchen while carrying a popcorn bowl. After entering the living room, he ced it in the middle of the table, and sat down next to his pregnant wife.


    Shortly afterward, footsteps echoed from upstairs as their children appeared. Marvin, Mark, and Sophia arrived in the living room, and got seated around the table.


    ''''Where is Alice?'''' Isabe asked from Sophia.


    ''''ying.'''' Sophia said casually. Beforeing here, she went to check on Alice, but she was lying on her bed, VR Helmet ced around her head.


    ''''Weird, her brother ispeting in such a big tournament, and she would rather y? Doesn''t sound like her...'''' Isabe frowned.


    They were only aware that their son, Isaac, was most likely part of thest event since he didn''t log out. However, they weren''t aware that even Alice, waspeting!


    ...


    The World of Four Seasons started growing louder as the countdown ticked. The streets, and famous beaches, and entertainment ces turned silent as everyone retreated to their homes. With their families, lovers, and children, they turned the TV on, and watched as the countdown slowly ticked down.


    The excitement grew as the Inte bustled with activity. They were already betting on the winner, even though the contenders weren''t clear.


    Then, there was the group of worshippers who wanted to see their beloved Gods, and Goddesses. The Church of Zeus, Aphrodite, and Hades were the loudest. However, there were also quiet Churches that wished to see their Gods, but didn''t cause a ruckus.


    Like the Church of Shiva''s.


    The Legacy Company started preparing for all the cameras. They were prepared to host the event.


    Also, at different ce of the World, Souldeath Family, and their servants gathered in a theater. They also watched the tournament because there was a family member of theirs whopeted.


    The world had finished it''s preparations to watch the tournament. Now, they only had to wait till the countdown hits zero.


    ...


    Goddess Artemis, Khione, and Hecate left the dimly lit room. They went to their own watching rooms to watch for the tournament''s opening.


    Only Goddess Selene stayed in the room. They didn''t expect anyone else toe. However, if someone did, they had to greet them.


    However, as soon as the arena''s spectators grew louder, the portal again started whirling, revealing two individuals.


    Goddess Selene straightened her back, and smiled beautifully. However, as soon as she saw the two figures, her face froze.


    ''''Apologies for using the portal assigned for Gods, but we would bete otherwise." A handsome blond-haired man apologized with a sorry smile. However, Selene wasn''t angry. instead, shocked!


    Another incredibly famous individual had arrived!


    Next to the blond-haired man, another handsome man stood tall. His untainted brown hair flowed down his nape, glistering with brilliance.


    Goddess Selene''s smile returned as she bowed, ''''King Arthur, Sir Lancelot.''''


    ''''You are... Goddess Selene, Goddess of the Moon, right?'''' King Arthur smiled as he asked.


    ''''Yes, I am.'''' Goddess Selene smiled while replying.


    ''''Wow, this is an honor!'''' King Arthur shook her soft hand excitedly. Goddess Selene''s body froze after getting touched by man so suddenly. Her cheeks slightly flushed as she tried to keep her smile.


    ''''I always liked to look at the moon during the nightly hours. However, to think that there was always a city hidden. How miraculous, how indeed!''''


    Lancelot sighed, ''''Don''t touch the Goddess so rudely. It''s sphemy, don''t you know?''''


    ''''Oh, apologies!'''' King Arthur yanked his hand back and said, ''''It wasn''t my intention to be rude!''''


    ''''Hehe, it''s nothing.'''' Goddess Selene covered her mouth while giggling. Her eyes curved as her smile brightened up the room.


    ''''May we get instructions. I am not quite sure where the audience stands are.'''' King Arthur asked with his majestic tone.


    ''''No need.'''' Goddess Selene stood to the side, and showed the hallway filled with doors, ''''Choose any of the rooms with open door.''''


    ''''I am not sure if this is appropriate. There are Gods, and Goddesses in those closed rooms, correct?''''


    ''''Yes, but they won''t mind if legendary King Arthur joined them.'''' Goddess Selene said with a smile.


    King Arthur looked at Lancelot, who nodded.


    ''''Alright then! Thank you very much, Goddess Selene.'''' King Arthur bowed in a gentlemanly manner, and left the room with Lancelot. They found one of the open rooms, and entered without thinking twice.


    Goddess Selene continued smiling while looking at the portal, ''I don''t think so many famous figures have ever been under the same sky. Usually Gods would stay in the God Realm, Moon City, or in their own realms.''


    ''Now, even famous human figures have arrived, and I have a feeling that many other entered the Moon City through ordinary means, and not via the God Realm...''


    However, as soon as she finished her thoughts, the portal whirled, and two people ran out of the portal with exhausted faces.


    ''''A-Are wete?!'''' A inhumanly beautiful figure with captivating gold hair stepped out of the portal. Next to him, a heavenly beauty with golden hair that flowed down her smooth back stood silently. She wore an smile in her face that looked innocent.


    Goddess Selene smiled instinctively after seeing the two. She had the pleasure of talking with them, and became good friends. They were one of the few she talks without using her veil. Now, she had to show her face to the Gods, and Goddess. Otherwise, it would be rude.


    ''''Mister Adam, and Miss Eve. You are perfectly in time. The opening starts in a several minutes.''''


    ''''Nice.'''' Adam nodded, and held Eve''s hand as they left the room in quick steps.


    ''''Bye Selene!'''' Eve waved to her good friend as she got dragged behind Adam.


    Goddess Selene smiled as they disappeared into one of the rooms. Then, her gaze saw the calm portal.


    ''Who wille next?''

    Chapter ?575 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (1)


    Dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun.


    A loud heaven-shaking drums echoed across the vastnd of Moon City.


    The audience shook in their seats as the whole arena trembled. After a short while, the drumming stopped, and the lights enveloped the arena.


    Creak... One of the tall and mighty doors opened. The arena ground, covered in cobblestone, rumbled as hundreds of horses galloped out of the open doors. No one rode them except one. At the back of the horde, a man d in golden armor rode a white horse adorned with battle armor.


    The audience watched with fascination while the Gods and Goddesses watched with curiosity. After the horses galloped across the whole arena, they exited through another pair of tall and might doors.


    Only the man d in golden armor stayed behind with his beautiful horse. The horse galloped to the middle of the arena, and the man pulled out his golden horn.


    After cing his lips on the horn, he blew loudly and mighty.


    DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!


    The single blow caused the horn to release a sound so deafening that even the farthest corner of Moon City heard it.


    Everyone watching from the Four Seasons felt their seats shake as a result of the horn.


    After the horn, the man d in golden armor removed his helmet. A handsome face with ck skin and dreadlocks appeared in all his glory. Everyone recognized him.


    Heimdall, the Watchman of Asgard.


    ''''Everyone!'''' With a single shout, the Moon City silenced, ''''Wee to the Tournament of Champions.''''


    CLAP, CLAP!


    Resounding apuse echoed across the thin air.


    Heimdall caressed the horse''s mane and said, ''''Today, there are 99petitors, but, after today, there will be only 32.''''


    The audience''s breath got stuck in their throats. Arge portion of the contenders would be thrown away from thepetition after only a single day.


    The residents of Four Seasons felt an even greater shock. They didn''t know the event spanned several days. However, after thinking further, it made a lot of sense.


    ''''The first event is rather simple. One Vs. One, a battle in a different environment.'''' Heimdall showed the nk cobblestone ground. It lookedme without any special characteristics, ''''This ground below me will change to a whole different environment. Forests, oceans, volcanoes, and even deserts. It can change to everything, and the contenders have to adapt.''''


    ''''After the event, there should be only 50 left. One lucky contender will get a free pass from the first event, and now, we will have a lottery. Luck is also a talent.''''


    A holographic wheel dropped down from the fake starry sky. The wheel had the names of 99 contenders and an arrow that would dere who would be lucky enough to stay out of the first event.


    Heimdall touched the cold holographic wheel. Everyone watched with short breaths as the wheel started slowly spinning around.


    The wheel started spinning faster and faster until each name was blurry. However, some of the sharp-eyed Gods and Goddesses could still see the names.


    The wheel started slowly slowing down until the arrow finally stopped it. The arrow pointed at a single name, the person who was lucky enough to get a free pass.


    [Darth]


    ''''The yer who gets the free pass is Darth from Guild ck Arrow!''''


    Inside one of the waiting rooms, Darth watched the TV screen with a shocked expression. The other contenders in the room looked at him enviously. There were around nine other people in this room alongside him.


    After deciding the one who got the free pass, the wheel disappeared, and Heimdall shouted, ''''Now, all the fights will be fought separately. Thus, everyone will only know their match-ups when the match is about to begin...


    ''''Now, let''s decide the first match-up!'''' Heimdall snapped his fingers, and therge arena screens shone before revealing all the names. They started shuffling around before two names appeared.


    [1. Sorcerer Vs. Queen Eliza]


    The Gods and Goddesses raised their brows in surprise. Queen-titled yers were always on their radar, so they knew a lot about them. They also knew Eliza, one of the most important members of humanity.


    Sorcerer, on the other hand, was quite a ck sheep. He was infamous among the yers but quite low-key in the eyes of the deities.


    Queen Eliza watched at the screen with a frown, ''Sorcerer... How troublesome.''


    ''''Good luck!'''' Alice patted her shoulder softly.


    Queen Eliza smiled and stood up, ''''Thanks, I will win this!''''


    Alice watched as she left the waiting room. Immediately after the door closed, she held her beating heart. She felt an immense amount of pressure and nervousness. Her ss, the Priestess, wasn''t the strongest in terms of fighting ability.


    Also, knowing that millions and millions of people were watching her made her very nervous.


    Inside another waiting room, a silence lingered in the air as one of them stood up. Sorcerer looked around the silent room in silence and left the room. After he left, the noise returned to the room.


    It was like the silence was the result of his presence. Sorcerer wore a trenchcoat with a skull mask. His reputation was always controversial. Rumors of him killing New-Gen Humans still lingered in the minds of others.


    No one knew whether it was true. Did he actuallymit those hideous murders?


    Sorcerer touched his mask and made sure it aligned with his face perfectly. As he walked past the open windows, he could see the sea of people cheering loudly.


    His expression didn''t change. Not even the rhythm of his heart. It was like he didn''t feel any nervousness or anxiety.


    Sorcerer soon arrived at the waiting area for the fighters. It was at the bottom floor. There were men d with silver armor waiting for the signal to open the enormous door. The room itself was quite majestic, with silver columns holding up the sky.


    ''''Everyone, let''s introduce our first arena change!'''' Heimdall''s shout echoed in the arena. After his shout, the cobblestone ground started crumbling and crackling. The environment was changing!

 Chapter 576 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (2)

    Chapter 576 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (2)


    Beneath the cobblestone ground,yers uponyers of dirty water seeped through. The cobblestone ground disappeared, reced by damp grass and dirty water. The new arena was Swamp Arena!


    ''''The first match''s arena is Swamp!'''' Heimdall''s voice traveled from afar. He was also in the arena, hidden somewhere.


    Therge arena screens started showing the video feed of the arena. With those, they would be able to watch the fight happen from anywhere.


    ''''Now, let''s wee our two contenders!'''' After Heimdall''s shout, the two tall and mighty doors swung open, ''''Queen Eliza, and Sorcerer!''''


    The screens immediately captured them. The audience started cheering loudly, while those watching from Four Seasons started cheering for their own favorites. However, not many cheered for Sorcerer because of his shady past.


    While trekking through the swampy ground, Queen Eliza held the hilt of her longsword. The visibility was poor, and it was dark. The trees obscured the view of the screens and the audience. The ground was basically nothing but grass and a few ponds of dirty water.


    Inside one of the viewing rooms.


    Goddess Athena watched the match with great interest. Her beautiful golden hair flowed down her delicate back. Her face was delicate to the brim, beautiful, and untouched by mortal sin. Her face was exactly the one that could start a war with just her looks.


    While Aphrodite and Gaia were widely known as the two Heavenly Pearls of the pond, Athena was still widely loved by mortals and Gods alike. There weren''t many who could defeat Aphrodite in terms of looks, not even Athena.


    However, arger majority would still love to have Athena as their wife.


    Her delicate eyes watched the screen where Queen Eliza walked in the swamp. She looked concerned at the current match-up because, unlike others, she knew the Sorcerer''s threat and was afraid that one of her adopted daughters would get hurt.


    That''s right. She adopted Queen Eliza and also bestowed upon her the Legacy she had. The Legacy of Athena, Goddess of Battle Strategy, and Wisdom.


    Queen Eliza carefully moved into the swampy ground. The audience''s cheers echoed from afar, making her slightly dizzy. It sounded like the cheers sometimes came next to her and sometimes further away.


    Crack... Queen Eliza drew her weapon and pointed it in the direction of the horde of trees. She heard a clear sound of a crack. Someone broke a twig.


    ''''Gugh... gugh...''''


    ''''What is that sound?'''' Queen Eliza frowned and stepped closer to the sound. However, at that moment, a figure dashed out of the hideout and screamed loudly while his acid spitnded on the ground.


    The figure looked dead. His eyeballs hung out of his sockets while his skin was rotting.


    Queen Eliza kicked the ground and shed with the sword. After the crescent-shaped arc appeared in the air, the de sessfully sliced through the figure''s head.


    The figure''s head flew out of his corpse andnded at the foot of the tree.


    However, the figure didn''t fall down. Instead, its arms started rocking back and forth while he started running toward Queen Eliza without his head!


    The audience covered their mouths in shock and wondered what the hell was happening. The watchers from Four Seasons thought they were watching a zombie movie!


    Queen Eliza didn''t back down. Instead, she dodged the running zombie and shed through his body as if it was mashed potatoes.


    The two halves of the zombie fell to the ground, and finally, it stopped moving.


    However, as soon as Queen Eliza sighed with relief, the forest had activity as several zombie-like figures ran madly.


    ''''Hmm, what is this?'''' King Arthur watched the scene with a shocked expression.


    ''''Dead who have risen... what a terrifying ability.'''' Lancelot''s gaze saw the screen, which showed Sorcerer''s lone figure. He slowly trekked through the swampy ground while slowly moving towards Queen Eliza.


    Queen Eliza raised her sword and hacked it down. With a single cut, the zombie got cut in half. As soon as the second zombie arrived, she kicked the ground and smashed her fist into the zombie''s skull.


    The skull exploded. However, the zombie still moved. But then, Queen Eliza removed her sword from the corpse of another zombie and shed it through the open air.


    The de effortlessly shed through the zombie. As the second zombie copsed on the ground, three zombies filled the ground.


    ''''Death Arrives..." A chilly voice appeared in the forest.


    Queen Eliza spun around and saw Sorcerer standing in the middle of a dark forest. His lips moved up and down. Then, several ck-smoking portals appeared around him. From these portals, the zombie-like figures stepped through, looking dead with their hanging eyeballs and rotting skin.


    Sorcerer pointed at Queen Eliza and muttered, ''''Death...''''


    ''''Gugh... gugh!'''' The zombies roared loudly and sprinted out of the forest. They opened their rotting mouth, filled with decayed teeth. They lunged forward while biting madly like they were hungry.


    Queen Eliza''s cold face didn''t change. She took a single step forward and smashed her sword through the zombies. The body parts floated in the air as the zombies stopped moving.


    The audience and everyone watching from Four Seasons grimaced at sight. However, there were some rascals that thought the scene looked amazing. It was like something from a horror movie.


    ''He can summon zombies?'' Queen Eliza frowned while thinking.


    Inside of one of the viewing rooms.


    ''''That ability...'''' God Shiva tapped his finger against the armrest while thinking aloud, ''''I think I know what it is."


    ''''Summoner?'''' God Zeus asked.


    ''''No, something far more powerful.'''' God Shiva sighed, ''''However, I didn''t know a Human could get it. It''s a power that is ruthless, inhumane, and even something that Darkness would fear.''''


    God Zeus'' eyes widened as he started understanding what he meant, ''''That ability... where did he get it?''''


    ''''I am not sure. But, I now know why this Sorcerer, never wanted a Legacy.'''' God Shiva snorted, ''''Because there wouldn''t be anyone who would want this madman to carry their Legacy. It would be humiliating!''''


    ''''Yeah... there is no one who would want to be associated with someone like him...'''' God Zeus gritted his teeth, ''''Deathmancer... The ss that would allow a person tomunicate with death, and also summon the death...''''


    ''''I wonder how many he has killed... to get that many death summons.'''' God Shiva''s eyes turned slightly cold as suddenly hundreds of zombies staggered out of the portals!

 Chapter ?577 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (3)

    Chapter ?577 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (3)


    The audience also asked themselves the same question. What was the Sorcerer''s ability? To be able to summon hundreds of zombies was both a scary, and powerful ability.


    Queen Eliza continued hacking, shing, and stabbing through the zombie''s thin flesh. The greenish blood littered the ground while the zombies never stopped moving. They ran over their fallenrades, and tried to bite a chunk off of Eliza''s flesh.


    However, each swing of her sword had a meaning. Once she shed, and killed one of the zombies, she immediately changed the grip, and did a follow-up attack. With this strategy, none of the zombies reached her.


    But, there didn''t seem to be an end to the zombies. Her stamina reserves were decreasing as she continued fighting without stopping. The zombies didn''t seem to have even a danger of depleting their stamina.


    ''This can''t go on...'' Queen Eliza thought as her gaze went past the sea of zombies,nding on Sorcerer''s figure. He still didn''t move. Only stood beside the closing portals.


    She decided that she had to do something. At this rate, she would die.


    sh... After swinging the sword, and killing more zombies, she jumped backward, making more space for herself. However, the zombies immediately followed after.


    "Begone, vile creatures.'''' Queen Eliza spun the sword around, making circles in the air. Then, she stabbed it through the soft, and damp ground. The de of the sword started to shine in white.


    ''''Laaaaaaaaaa...'''' An angelic voice echoed across the Moon City. The shining light enveloped half of the swamp, making the audience squint their eyes in pleasure. It felt like they were hugged by their mothers.


    ''''Gurgh... gurgh!'''' The zombies died one after another. Once the shining light touched them, their bodies got purified. Thus, they became truly dead.


    Sorcerer waved his hand in panic, and teleported the rest of the zombies away. However, in that split second, half of his zombie army died.


    ''''Haaaaaaaaa!'''' A shout of Warrior Goddess echoed in the air as Queen Eliza jumped through the shining light. She hacked her sword down at Sorcerer, the de still shining in beautiful white.


    Sorcerer flicked his sleeves, and stepped out of the way. The de effortlessly cut through the ground. However, Queen Eliza immediately pulled it out of the ground, and shed across the air, towards the man with all-ck clothing.


    Sorcerer simply stepped to the right as the sword grazed right past him. His gloved hands started glowing as he stretched his hand towards Queen Eliza''s beautiful face.


    Queen Eliza dodged the hand with panic shing across her eyes. She felt like she could have died if the hand touched her.


    She quickly jumped back, and moved the sword into a thrusting stance. And then, she kicked the ground, and stabbed the sword forwards.


    Sorcerer waved his hand, and portal made of ck smoke appeared before him. A dead-looking zombie fell out of the portal, andnded in the path of the sword.


    The sword drilled through the zombie, killing it. However, it''s bloody corpse got stuck in the de.


    ''''The Deathly Hallow...'''' Sorcerer jumped over the dead zombie, and again tried to touch Queen Eliza''s face. However, she let go of her sword, and dodged the hand before equipping the shield, and smashing it across Sorcerer''s face!


    Sorcerer''s figure flew across the air before hended on the ground, seemingly unharmed. However, a trail of blue blood trickled down his nose.


    Queen Eliza kicked the dead zombie away, and picked up her sword. Then, with sword in right hand, and shield in her left, she stomped the ground before lunging forward.


    Sorcerer wiped the blood away, and summoned a dozen other portals. From there, a sea of zombies started swarming out, filled with bloodlust, and hunger.


    ''''Haaaaaaaaaaaa!'''' Queen Eliza shouted as she shredded through the zombies with her de. As some of the zombies neared her, she smashed her shield into them, killing them immediately.


    ''''World Cmity!'''' Sorcerer screamed, and mmed his hand into the ground. As soon as he did, a void appeared in the ground.


    Queen Eliza finished killing the zombies. However, then she saw the ck void.


    Then, hands started appearing. Pale, cold, emotionless hands. Some of them had scars, some had stitches, almost like they were stitched back together. However, all of them looked dead, without even shred of humanity left.


    ''''Rise, my dead summons!''''


    The pale, ghoul-looking individuals jumped out of the void, and screamed with their screeching voices. The audience, and everyone in the Four Seasons, felt their skin growing cold.


    However, some of the previous yers that got killed by Sorcerer, felt despair, and disbelief. Some of the ghouls looked just like them!


    All the ghoul-like figures were dead yers!


    ''''How inhumane!'''' Artemis thought aloud while sitting in one of the viewing rooms with Khione, and Hecate.


    The Gods, and Goddesses didn''t look pleased. Even though Sorcerer was strong and possibly a great ally in the uing war, they still couldn''t make themselves root for him. The ability was simply inhumane.


    Alice, in the watching room, sped her hands, hoping for Queen Eliza''s victory.


    ''''...'''' Isaac sat alone in a small waiting room. It was reserved for him for unknown reasons. Without knowing it, it was actually Artemis, and Khione who gave him this room.


    ''''Is this... Necromancer or something worse?''''


    ''''I-Impossible!'''' A chubby-faced girl shouted in her house somewhere in Autumnd. One of the summons happened to be her.


    She remembered dying by Sorcerer once. However, she respected his strength, and wanted to be just like him. But, after the week was up, and she was supposed to be able to y, her ount didn''t work.


    There was a message, saying that she was online. At that moment, she thought she was hacked, and informed Legacy Company. But, they said that hacking was impossible, and there must be other reasons.


    She talked about it in forums, and everyone called her a liar. However, now she understood why she couldn''t log in. Because her avatar was alive somewhere in White Online. However, as a ghoul!


    ''''G-Give my ount back, please!''''

 Chapter 578 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (4)

    Chapter 578 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (4)


    ''''Rip her apart!'''' Sorcerer shouted, and waved his hand. The Ghouls roared before lunging forward. With their sharp ws, and pointy teeth, they looked more like monsters than humans.


    ''''Haaaaaaaaa!'''' Queen Eliza''s sword shed through the air, releasing an arc-shaped sh. However, as the sword cut through them, the ghouls didn''t even flinch as they attacked her.


    One of the ghouls pounded on her face with a scaly fist. Then, the second ghoul chewed a chunk off of Eliza''s thigh.


    ''''Aah!'''' Queen Eliza screamed in shock, and slight fear. Then, a dozen hands grabbed her from her hair, waist, and legs. She felt several teeth digging into her flesh as the ghouls started chewing on her flesh.


    The audience, and everyone from Four Seasons looked frightened at the sky. Most of them even turned away, not daring to look at the sight.


    Gods, and Goddesses have seen scenes far more terrifying. However, even the scene made them frown.


    ''''Eliza!'''' Goddess Athena stood up from her chair, and covered her mouth.


    ''''Eliza!'''' Alice also shouted in her waiting room.


    ''''How ruthless...'''' Inside a medium-sized waiting room, Lady Noelle thought while feeling cold shudders. Next to her, Xerxus looked at the scene with a frown.


    Everyone has suffered a death, in one way or another. However, none of them had gotten eaten alive. Even though many have fallen into the stomachs of somerge beasts, they have immediately died after falling into their mouths.


    However, Queen Eliza was now literally being eaten alive, slowly.


    ''''Hands off me!'''' Queen Eliza dropped her weapons, and tried to rip the ghouls away. However, their teeth were deeply stuck in her bones, and flesh. The blue blood stained her clothes, and everything around her.


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' Sorcerer''s shout echoed in the dark swamp, ''''Die, die... getting someone like Queen Eliza as my Ghoul is a dreame true!''''


    ''''DREAM ON!'''' Queen Eliza smashed her forehead into the skull of one of the ghouls, breaking its skull, and brain. As soon as the brain exploded, the ghoul surprisingly died!


    ''''Eh?'''' Sorcerer felt that one of his ghouls was dying. If the ghoul dies, he wouldn''t be able to use them anymore, and the yer whose ghoul it was would be able to y again in their avatar.


    ''If I die here, it wouldn''t be true death.'' Queen Eliza thought while getting rid of the ghouls with her fists, ''However, if I get turned into a ghoul, I am not sure what will happen to me. As far as I know, if the avatar turned into a ghoul, I wouldn''t be in control of it.''


    ''Thus, I wouldn''t be able to y anymore...'' Queen Eliza frowned, and didn''t want that to happen. After smashing her fist into one of the ghouls, she finally managed to free herself. She quickly picked her shield, and sword from the ground.


    The ghouls immediately ran after her with bloodied teeth.


    ''Their weakness is their brain!'' This wasn''t Queen Eliza''s first time dealing with ghouls. They weren''t rarity in World of White. However, this was first time seeing one of the yers controlling them.


    She raised her sword, and shed it down, ''''Haaaaaaaaaaaa!''''


    However, as soon as the sword was about to strike, the Ghouls disappeared into the dark portals.


    ''''I can''t allow you to kill my precious ghouls!'''' Sorcerer''s voice rang behind her. Immediately, she felt an hand touching her back, and her whole body froze.


    ''''Ugh?!'''' She couldn''t breathe, move, or even turn her eyes!


    ''''I will use your avatar well, no need to worry!'''' Sorcerer''s voice turned eerily cold. Then, his hand touched her nape. Her eyes lost it''s light, and the vision grew dim as her soul got pushed out of her fleshy body.


    Sorcerer grabbed the white floating ball which was Queen Eliza''s soul.


    Queen Eliza''s body started to turn pale. Her eyes turned lifeless, the nails started growing, and the teeth became sharper. Her beautiful face turned hideous.


    ''''This is my first Queen-titled Ghoul, nice!'''' Sorcerer grinned, and waved his hand. The ck void engulfed Queen Eliza''s avatar. After the void disappeared, her avatar was nowhere to be seen.


    The audience was quiet. No one pped or moved.


    Then, a voice echoed across the air, it belonged to Heimdall.


    ''''Winner of the first match is Sorcerer!''''


    No one pped.


    ''''No...'''' Goddess Athena touched her chest, and felt a stinging pain. Her legacy was still inside the avatar. However, it wasn''t in control of her adopted daughter. Now, the ghoul avatar was like an empty shell.


    Thump... The swamp forest started disappearing. It sank into the ground as the cobblestone ground reappeared alongside Heimdall. Sorcerer had already left the arena, and returned to his living quarters.


    ''''The first match has concluded. Let''s start the second match!'''' Without wasting a second, Heimdall announced the second match to start. There were 49 matches, and they would take several hours. And after those, there was still a second, and third round before nightfall.


    ''''Eliza...'''' Alice held her face with a saddened expression. She couldn''t trulyprehend the meaning of ghouls. However, she had an idea, and it wasn''t anything good.


    Inside National TV''s newsroom


    They broadcasted the first match, and the three men, and one woman stood silently in their chairs. However, then the slick-haired man sighed, and said.


    ''''The first match is over, and the end result is already a shocking.''''


    ''''That''s right, I didn''t expect Queen Eliza to lose, possibly the strongest Knight.''''


    The woman mmed her palm on the desk, shouting, ''''Who can defeat someone like that? He summoned over a hundred zombies, and over a dozen ghouls!''''


    The rest turned silent. They also thought about if there was any possible way to defeat Sorcerer. There didn''t seem to be any.


    Inside a spacious room, Queen Eliza sat in her soft bed while trying the VR Helmet. However, she only received messages saying that she was logged in. Tears brimmed in her eyes.


    ''''Mother?'''' A knock resounded, and then the door was opened by an adorable-looking ck-haired girl, ''''I saw your fight. You were amazing!''''


    Queen Eliza wiped her tears, and smiled gently, ''''Was I? But, I lost.''''


    ''''It wasn''t fair fight!'''' Her daughter jumped on her bad, and wrapped her slender arms around her waist, ''''You had to fight over a hundred scary people. If it was only him, you would have beaten him with one punch!''''


    ''''Haha, is that so?'''' Queen Eliza gently chuckled, and rubbed her daughter''s soft hair, ''''Hungry?''''


    ''''Little bit.''''


    ''''Your daddy should be home soon. I will make you two a dinner.''''


    ''''Yay!''''

 Chapter ?579 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (5)

    Chapter ?579 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (5)


    After the fifth match was over, everyone had already a vivid understanding of the tournament. The strong would win. It didn''t matter what kind of environment it was. The strong would triumph.


    After the first match, the other matches were battles between other famous people, but none had titles in their names.


    The Gods, and Goddesses seemed slightly bored after the first match. Nothing interesting, or surprising happened. However, that soon changed.


    The audience filled the air with their loud cheers, and apuse as the fourth environment stage disappeared. Heimdall rode with his white horse, and appeared in the middle of the arena.


    Holding his horn, he shouted, ''''Time for the fifth match!''''


    The audience cheered, and spectators from the Four Seasons waited with beating hearts. The lottery of the match-ups was exciting!


    The screen showed rows of numbers while five names were red, and five were golden. The five fighters had already entered the second round. Their names shone alone on a lone screen, which was adorned with the word ''Round 2''.


    Then, the screen with 88 names left started shuffling, and moving. Soon, two names appeared on the screen, revealing the sixth match.


    Heimdall nced at the screen, and smiled, ''''Sixth match is between Lady Evelyn, and Lady Noelle!''''


    The audience became loud after the shocking match-up. The battle between the twody-titled yers was shocking!


    ''''Oh?'''' Gods, and Goddesses seemed interested.


    ''''Evelyn...'''' Noelle murmured. She hadn''t met her before, but had heard rumors. Apparently, she was a real-life idol, and signer. Her reputation was one of the greatest among Lady yers.


    Her fanbase was crazy, basically radicalists. If someone talked bad about her, everyone would swarm around that person, and destroy him/her. Her fanbase was mostly hated because they were an unreasonable bunch.


    Even if the ''bad'' things were true, they would think about silly excuses, even though some don''t make much sense. Like, the rumor of Lady Evelyn sleeping with the Chairman of her Idol Agency. There was photographic evidence of them kissing.


    However, her fans just shrugged it off, and imed that it was photoshopped. Even though the photo was checked by a professional analyst, who said it was true. They said that he was paid off by the anti-fans.


    It was ridiculous.


    They were the so-called blind fans.


    ''''Will you be fine?'''' Xerxus asked.


    ''''Yes, but fighting her sucks...'''' Noelle clicked her tongue. She was someone who didn''t care much about her reputation. However, it wasn''t still fun to be insulted at, which would be the result if he won, or lost the fight.


    She stood to her feet, and nted a kiss on Xerxus'' cheek before leaving the room.


    Xerxus touched his cheek while watching the environment change on the screen.


    The cobblestone ground disappeared.


    From the ground, chimneys, and rooftops started appearing. Soon, the environment changed to something no one expected. It was a city arena!


    The light shone from the windows, shining on the streets. The roads, and sidewalks were well-cleaned with no trash in sight. All the buildings were filled with nice furniture, and sources of light. They looked like something that was someone''s home.


    ''''The arena is this time a City!'''' Heimdall''s shout echoed from somewhere in the City.


    The audience apuded loudly. From their stands, they could see the streets clearly. This was first match that could be watched without the constant need to look at the screens.


    Creak... The two doors opened with ms.


    ''''Match begins!''''


    In the Four Seasons.


    ''''Lady Evelyn!''''


    Inside a Cosmic Idol Agency, the employees, and other idols stopped their business, and turned their attention to the screens. One of them was fighting in the world''s greatest spectacle, which was also a great advertisement for theirpany.


    One of the doors opened, and the Cosmic Idol Agency''s Chairman, Jupiter, leaned against the doorframe while looking at the screen. He was a handsome man with raven-colored hair, and a well-kempt suit.


    The female inters, and some of the idols looked at him with admiration. After all, he built thepany from scratch. However,tely, he''d been suffering from some rumors that are aimed at destroying hispany.


    The rival agencies tried to break the trust hispany had. However, they didn''t expect Lady Evelyn''s fans to be such extremists. They didn''t listen to a single word. Jupiter thought it was a stroke of luck. If these fans had even a shred of brain, hispany would have been ruined.


    There were still rumors floating around, and many news agencies wanted to know whether they were true. Jupiter denied all rumors. But, in truth, all the rumors were true. He had a rtionship with Evelyn, and it hadsted for several years.


    It''s not because Jupiter wanted to. Evelyn''s family was influential, and powerful. He tried to break off this rtionship, and before that, he was sort of forced into this rtionship. However, Evelyn was crazy about him, and threatened to destroy hispany if he even thought about leaving her.


    While everyone cheered for Evelyn, hoping for her victory. Jupiter wanted her to lose.


    Everywhere in Four Seasons, Lady Evelyn''s diehard fans cheered for their queen. There were all sorts of fans. Females, males, nerdy-looking, fit-looking, overweight, skinny, and even some of the kings of a country.


    They all wished for their ''queen'' to win.


    In the Arena.


    ''''Oh my.'''' Ascivious voice echoed in one of the viewing rooms. It belonged to a woman with otherworldly beauty. She wore a beautiful white robe that enhanced the appeal of her bodily features.


    The tworge mounds, thergest in the world perhaps, pushed the robes forward, showing incredibly tempting curves. Her beautiful blond hair flowed over her shoulders, going past her two earrings that adorned her delicate ears.


    Her servants stood in the sidelines. They gulped dryly, doing everything in their power to not look at her. It didn''t matter if they were male or female, their hormones went on overdrive in her presence.


    ''''Finally, time for my dear Legacy Carrier...'''' She licked her soft pinkish lips. The window showed her heart-shaped face, beautiful like no other. Even the bright crystals hanging from ceilings turned pale in her presence.


    She was the Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite, and her legacy carrier was Lady Evelyn.

 Chapter 580 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (6)

    Chapter 580 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (6)


    The city shone in a dim light. The streetmps engulfed the streets in warm colors. The fifth match started moments ago, and the audience slowly quieted down. They checked the streets every now and then to find the locations of the two fighters.


    ''''Llla...'''' However, to everyone''s surprise, a calm, and sweet singing voice appeared.


    A beautiful young woman, around 21 years old, stood in the middle of the crossroads. Her singing voice even pleased the ears of the gods and goddesses. They had only heard this kind of voice from one person. From the Goddess Aphrodite.


    The gentle light shone on her delicate face. Her face soon adorned every screen in the arena. Everyone was amazed at her gentle, and sweet voice. With her beautiful face, she seemed like an angel.


    The male audience members started to slowly fall in love with her. They hadn''t seen anyone like her before.


    Swoosh, swoosh... Suddenly, the singing was interrupted as two daggers flew across the air.


    ''''Ll...'''' Evelyn turned towards the dagger, and gently sang. The vibrations of her voice caused the daggers to tremble beforepletely missing her body.


    From the top of a nearby rooftop, Noelle, d in an all-ck outfit, looked at her coldly.


    ''''Hey, how dare you to stop her singing?!'''' Out of nowhere, several rageful-looking men stood up from their chairs, and shouted towards the city. Some of them even had their girlfriend or wife next to them. They looked at their husband or boyfriend strangely, with a tinge of anger.


    The Gods and Goddesses looked at the scene with a frown. After hearing the singing, they realized her legacy. Aphrodite.


    Goddess Aphrodite gently giggled, ''''Her singing was still a little crude, but much better than before.''''


    In the Four Seasons, Lady Evelyn''s diehard fans screamed with outraged faces. Their tears almost turned red as they hatefully looked at Noelle. They finally heard their queens'' singing, which was a rarity in the past year.


    It felt like someone had stabbed them with a knife, and twisted it into their wounds.


    Lady Noelle''s expression didn''t change as she pulled out an short bow from her inventory. She ced a small arrow into the string, pulled it back before letting it go.


    Swoosh!


    The arrow pierced through the air as it flew towards Lady Evelyn.


    ''''Ll!'''' Lady Evelyn looked like she was hugging herself as she gently sang. Again, the vibrations in the air disturbed the arrow''s airflow, causing it to miss her body.


    Noelle grabbed two daggers before leaping off the roof. She descended, and threw the daggers at the same time.


    Evelyn again opened her mouth, and caused the daggers to turn around before flying straight back at Noelle.


    Noelle quickly snatched them from the air without even a problem. Her thief ss helped her to rob anything and everything, even her daggers that were in the control of someone else.


    ''''Are you done singing?'''' Noelle asked afternding on the pavement.


    ''''No, you see, I love singing, and everyone loves it too.'''' Evelyn smiled sweetly while looking around the audience. Once her gazended on them, they averted their gaze with flushed cheeks, ''''Everyone loves me.''''


    "Well, not quite. Not everyone.'''' Noelle held the daggers in a back-grip as she kicked the ground, and lunged forward. She knew that Evelyn was weak in close-quarterbat. Thus, her idea was to counter her ability by fighting with daggers.


    ''''Oh, how scary.'''' Evelyn''s eyes rounded up as clear tears started appearing in the corner of her eyes. Noelle frowned, and was about to sh with their daggers.


    However, then, a ball-shaped fruit flew from the audience''s direction,nding on Noelle''s cheek.


    ''''Eh?!'''' Noelle staggered to the side. When she looked at the item that hit her, she saw an apple


    ''''Stay away from our queen!'''' Surprisingly, it was the audience members that started throwing the fruits!


    ''''Hey, what are you doing?!'''' However, not all of them were bewitched, and they tried to stop others from throwing items. But, they were soon overwhelmed as more got bewitched than not.


    The Gods, and Goddesses sighed. They knew this was going to happen. However, they didn''t stop it.


    Not even Heimdall. They allowed it to happen because it was Lady Evelyn''s ability.


    ''''Noelle...'''' Xerxus gritted his teeth, and stood up. However, at that moment, a hand touched his shoulder, forcing him to sit back down.


    ''''Eh?'''' Turning around, he saw a silver-haired man wearing a grin on his face.


    ''''Master!'''' Xerxus bowed with his head lowered.


    ''''Sit straight.'''' God Mercury sat next to him, and looking at the screen, ''''You shouldn''t be worried about your fiancee.''''


    ''''This is not a fair fight. Everyone is against her, and I know how weak-willed she is... knowing that everyone is against her, will make her feel unwanted.''''


    ''''No need to worry... my brother did something unexpected.'''' Mercury patted his shoulder, ensuring him.


    ''''Your brother... Hermes?'''' Xerxus frowned.


    ''''Yes, just watch...''''


    The fruits flew across the air,nding on the streets, and hitting Noelle across the face. However, they didn''t injure her. However, it made her stop all thoughts of attacking.


    ''''See, everyone loves me.'''' Evelyn moved the bangs to the side, revealing the amused expression.


    Noelle bit her lip, and stopped trying to evade all the fruits. They struck her in the temple, waist, cheek, neck, and legs.


    Turning to the starry sky, it was like she could see flying stars. The month before the tournament, she sat on top of a cliff, watching over the shining city. Next to her was a blooming tree. It was beautiful. Above was the starry sky, alongside a gray sphere, the moon.


    As she looked at the shooting stars, she closed her eyes, and smiled with a heartfelt expression. However, at that moment, she heard a swoosh, and when she opened her eyes, there was a notification floating before her.


    A transparent screen appeared out of nowhere. The shooting stars flew over her, like they were acting as a signal for something special about to happen.


    [Legacy Received!]


    [Hermes, The God of Thieves, wants you to be his Legacy Carrier!]


    [Legacy: Messenger of Humans]

    ''''Evelyn!''''


    ''''Evelyn!''''


    ''''Evelyn!''''


    A loud cheers for Lady Evelyn echoed in the arena.


    In the Whitelock Residence, Isabe frowned, and asked, ''''Why is everyone cheering for her? To me, it looks like they are bullying her opponent.''''


    Maxwell rubbed his chin with a frown. The scene looked like a bunch of radicalists cheering for their god.


    The Inte had mixed reactions.


    [*****: Lady Evelyn is so beautiful!]


    [*****: This is nothing but bullying]


    [*****: It''s that bitch''s fault for trying to attack our queen!]


    [*****: This is a battle. The whole point is to attack each other. What should she do? Stand there, and let her attack? This isn''t a poprity contest, but to decide who is the strongest one]


    [*****: Another heretic daring to sully our queen''s name. How sad]


    ...


    In the Cosmic Idol Agency, the employees watched with flushed cheeks as Lady Evelyn was winning. Their hearts continued to beat with excitement as they murmured to each other. They all thought about how amazing their ''Queen'' was.


    Jupiter watched the screen with a pained expression. To see everyone cheering that witch made him feel like someone had dug their ws into his heart. It made him sick, and mad.


    ...


    ''''Ll!'''' Lady Evelyn''s beautiful voice echoed across the air. She again started signing. This time, she aimed to defeat Lady Noelle.


    ''''Haaahh...'''' Lady Noelle stood in the middle of the destroyed fruits. Most of her outfits were dirtied by them, and her previously beautiful hair was messy.


    Then, a circuits of electricity shed across her eyes. They were a golden color.


    ''''Die...'''' Lady Evelyn whispered seductively while thinking, ''Ugly bitch. This shall be a lesson to you, and everyone else... beauty is one''s power.''


    ''''Mmm...'''' Goddess Aphrodite hummed merily while watching the scene behold.


    Isaac watched alone in his waiting room. The scene made him furrow his brows. It looked like everyone was brainwashed. Even after he heard the singing voice seeping through the walls, he felt slightly strange at heart.


    However, he managed to shrug it off before he became another worshipper.


    The atmosphere heated up in the arena as the song filled the air. While Lady Evelyn sang, it looked like even the nearby park bushes, and trees swayed alongside the song lyrics. Like she was the center of the world.


    ''''Haaaaa,aaaaaaaa!'''' The decibel level of Lady Evelyn''s voice increased. As the vibrations in the air grew, they caused an invisible shockwave to travel across the atmosphere. Moving in the direction of Lady Noelle.


    ''''Haaah...'''' Letting out a gentle breath of air, Lady Noelle moved her arms in fluid movement. It looked like she was about to start running.


    Her ss, Thief, was mostly for robbing, and fighting. However, after receiving her legacy, it was modified. While the game registered it as the same thief ss, it was actually a Superior Thief.


    Everyone watched as the ground cracked apart as the shockwave flew over it. They were certain that Lady Noelle would lose. She had lost all her will to win after getting hated by everyone.


    They had already started to prepare to cheer for Lady Evelyn while beginning to anticipate the next fight.


    Lady Noelle''s beautiful face shone underneath the shining light. As the shockwave reached her figure, she moved to the side. However, that single step caused her to move to the ends of the streets. After her body stopped moving, she cracked her neck, and turned towards the distant Lady Evelyn.


    Lady Evelyn stood still in her current position, hundreds of meters away from her. Her eyes shook as she thought she saw a golden lightning suddenly snatching Noelle.


    ''''W-Where?'''' She looked around, and couldn''t see anything after the shockwave destroyed the wall of the nearby building. Noelle vanished.


    The audience looked confused. They blinked, and after that, the scene was over. Lady Noelle had disappeared.


    ''''She is there!'''' Suddenly, one of the audience member thought about checking the screens. Everyone turned towards one of the screens. It showed Lady Noelle moving into a sprinting stance. They were shocked, and confused.


    How did she get there?


    ''''W-What?'''' Xerxus jumped to his feet. Shock reflecting off his face. Now he understood what Mercury said about his brother. But why did Hermes do that?


    ''''Hermes believes in fate.'''' Mercury said with his lips curved, ''''This might be fate.''''


    ''''Fate...'''' Xerxus'' eyes softened as he saw golden lightning circling around Lady Noelle''s figure.


    ''''Lady Evelyn, she is there!'''' The male audience members decided to help their queen one more time.


    Lady Evelyn turned to the far end of the street. She was shocked to see a woman covered in golden lightning.


    ''How did she appear there?'' She thought, with a shock. However, she quickly decided to ask for more help from her worshippers. She carefully flipped through her hair, revealing her delicate face.


    Most of the male members felt their hearts racing with cheeks flushed. It was a miracle that heart pupils didn''t appear in their eyes.


    She opened her mouth, about to sing one more time. However, at that moment, the golden lightning moved.


    Swoosh... With a strike of lightning, Lady Noelle appeared before her, and grabbed her by the face.


    Without stopping running, Lady Noelle ran straight through a nearby building while using Lady Evelyn''s head as a wrecking ball.


    ''''No, Lady Evelyn!''''


    ''''UGH!'''' Lady Evelyn''s figure crashed through several buildings. The back of her skull was stained with blue blood. Her health bar showed a scary decrease.


    ''''P-Please, don''t!''''


    After crashing on the ground, the golden lightning reappeared before her. Lady Noelle pulled her daggers, and stabbed them into Lady Evelyn''s chest. As she spat mouthful of blood, Lady Noelle kicked the ground, and ran through a dozen buildings while holding Lady Evelyn with the daggers.


    Lady Noelle, with a cold look, continued running through the buildings like they were made of y. However, soon the figure held by her daggers vanished into a cloud of pixels. Thest thing she saw was Lady Evelyn''s disfigured face.


    Her whole body was like a meatpaste.


    Lady Noelle slowly stopped running, and turned towards the floating cameras. She smiled, and showed a peace sign, ''''Stuuuuuuupid!''''

 Chapter 582 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (8)

    Chapter 582 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (8)


    ''''M-My queen...'''' A heartbroken audience members reached their hands towards the arena. Thest words spoken by Lady Noelle turned their shock into anger.


    ''''Fuck you bitch!''''


    ''''Noelle, you better watch your back!''''


    ''''How dare you touch our queen?!''''


    ''''Enough!'''' However, then a voice caused immense pressure to engulf the audience. Everyone lowered their heads as a sign of respect.


    God Hermes looked at the audience with disdain. His aura caused the brainwashing to be removed. Soon, the male audience members shook their heads, and asked their angry girlfriends, and wives what happened.


    However, most of them get pped or suffer silent treatment.


    Lady Noelle skipped through the gates. She hummed a pleasant voice as she left the arena. However, as soon as she reached the hallways, a blur of silver ran through the hallway.


    Xerxus stopped before her, and hugged her tightly.


    ''''Oh!'''' Lady Noelle looked surprised at the sudden intimate gesture. Since they started dating, Xerxus never showed any sort of affection. The main reason was that he never liked the idea of being forced to date someone.


    Since then, they have grown to be friends.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Lady Noelle smiled sweetly as she returned the hug, ''''I think I am faster than you now. You can''t run away anymore.''''


    ''''Eeeehhh, I think I am still faster.'''' Xerxus said as he left the hug. Now, he remembered that he often used his superspeed to escape Noelle. However, that didn''t seem to be an opinion anymore.


    Lady Noelle tiptoed over, and nted a kiss on his lips, out of nowhere. That caught Xerxus off-guard, and he stood still for a long time.


    ''''That stuuuuuuuuuupid, belonged to you!'''' Noelle winked, and ran away in a streak of golden lightning.


    In the Four Seasons.


    The sudden defeat of Lady Evelyn took everyone off-guard. Her diehard fans started insulting Lady Noelle in every possible word they could think of. They thought it would put Noelle in a bad light. However, it backfired them badly.


    The Legacy Company took action, and banned every ount belonging to the diehard fan group. They also banned their White Online ounts. After the bans, everyoneughed at Lady Evelyn''s fans.


    In the Cosmic Idol Agency.


    ''''I-Impossible!'''' The employees of thepany copsed on their chairs. Even the other idols couldn''t believe their eyes. Their beloved queen lost?!


    ''''Hah...'''' Jupiter covered his mouth while trying to muffle hisughter. However, then one of the doors opened with a m, and Lady Evelyn appeared with a rageful expression.


    She yed in Cosmic Idol Agency so that she could always log out, and train dancing, and singing. Her life only consisted of ying, and being an idol while also trying to monopolize Jupiter.


    ''''E-Evelyn!'''' Everyone stood up, and respectfully spoke.


    ''''T-That bitch Noelle is cheater!''''


    ''''That''s right! How dare she cheat?!''''


    ''''She must have used speed hack, right?!''''


    ''''Definitely, we will contact Legacy Company, and get her banned!''''


    ''''Shut up!'''' However, Lady Evelyn shouted, and pushed them away from her way. They looked shocked, as they had never seen her act like this. She always acted sweet, and never raised her voice.


    But now, a thought arose in their minds. Was this her real personality?


    ''''Jupiter,e with me!'''' Evelyn shouted as she stomped towards the faraway room. It was her temporary bedroom.


    ''''No.'''' However, Jupiter immediately said. His cold eyes trembled slightly at the mention of the bedroom. It was a ce filled with horrible memories.


    ''''What... did... you... say?'''' Lady Evelyn''s eyes showed a tinge of red. She stomped towards Jupiter, and grabbed him by his ruff. She effortlessly pulled him off the ground with an incredibly strong feat of strength.


    She was Chain Breaker, another reason why it was impossible for Jupiter to refuse her.


    ''''I... won''t... go there!'''' Jupiter said with fearful visage.


    ''''That wasn''t a question. It was an order!'''' Lady Evelyn pulled him closer, and whipsered seductively, ''''Please,e with me honey? I am feeling quite frustrated right now because of that... bitch!''''


    Jupiter immediately bit his tongue. It was the only way to stop the brainwashing magic from infiltrating his heart, and mind. It worked.


    ''''N-No...'''' He spoke through bloodied teeth.


    ''''Q-Queen Evelyn, w-what are you doing?'''' Finally, one of her fellow idols asked. It was beautiful young woman with bright future ahead.


    Lady Evelyn turned towards her, and frowned, ''''Who are you?''''


    ''''E-Eh?'''' The young woman took a step back in shock. She often had coffee with Evelyn, three times a week for over three months. However, she still doesn''t remember her?


    Just how insignificant does she think everyone around her was?


    ''''Hmph.'''' Lady Evelyn turned back to Jupiter, ''''Do I need to force you? Please, don''t make me do that. You know, I don''t like doing that. But, if you don''t give me a choice, I will.''''


    ''''Hands off me... you witch!''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Lady Evelyn''s body flinched in shock. ''''W-Witch? D-Dear, why did you call me that?''''


    Jupiter bit harder his tongue. Evelyn usually used her victimplex to make everyone to pity her. Thus, allowing her to do what she wished. It was another way she used her brainwashing magic.


    However, after being victim over a hundred times, he learned how to counter it.


    The employees, and idols looked at the scene with shocked expressions. They didn''t know how to act. It looked like Lady Evelyn was forcing Jupiter to do what he didn''t. However, they couldn''t believe it. The sweet, and beautiful Evelyn wouldn''t do that!


    Creak... The pair of doors were opened by a lone-looking figure. He wore a biker''s jacket with a skull symbol adorning his back. With his all-ck outfit, and ck hair, he looked like a biker from some sort of gang.


    ''''Hands off him.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Lady Evelyn turned towards the biker-looking guy with a frown, ''''Who the hell are you? Dear, do you know him?''''


    ''''Heh...'''' Jupiter grinned through his bloodied teeth, ''''Jason, you sure took your sweet time.''''


    ''''Apologies. Anyways, let me introduce myself.'''' Jason, the man with all-ck clothing, cracked his knuckles, and grinned, ''''I am the government''s Inquisitor, Jason. I am here to arrest a Rogue Chain Breaker, Evelyn Mitchell!''''

 Chapter ?583 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (9)

    Chapter ?583 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (9)


    ''''Inquisitor?'''' Evelyn snorted, and tossed Jupiter across the room. His figure flew over dozen desks before crashing against a concrete wall. A drips of blood poured out of the corner of his mouth. However, he didn''t care as he turned to look at Jason.


    ''Jason... kill her!''


    ''''Jupiter, are you alright?'''' Jason asked as he pulled his weapon from his inventory. It was surprisingly two-barrel shotgun.


    ''''Y-Yes...'''' Jupiter said with pain as he staggered to his feet. Seeing his employees standing nkly, he shouted in anger, ''''Fools, leave this ce this instant!''''


    ''''E-Eh?''''


    ''''Leave this ce.'''' Jason repeated as he pushed several shotgun shells into the chamber. A powerful echo resounded as he pulled the chamber back, aligning the shells with the barrel.


    The employees, and rest of idols started making their way over to the exit.


    However, then Evelyn''s rageful shout entered their ears, ''''Don''t move an inch!''''


    Hearing the shout, they stopped instinctively.


    Evelyn turned to Jason, and tried to mutter a smile, ''''May I ask why is the Inquisitor here?''''


    Jason raised the shotgun, and pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    Evelyn''s eyes widened as the shotgun shells exploded before her. After the shotgun shells hit her, she flung across the room, and crashed through her bedroom wall.


    Everyone widened their eyes in shock. They couldn''t believe it. Evelyn was killed?


    Jupiter''s eyes widened in shock, and bewilderment. To think that the witch who had been haunting him was gone so quickly.


    ''''E-Evelyn!'''' However, the rest of the idols screamed in shock, and sadness. Even though Evelyn wasn''t like they expected, they still loved, and respected her.


    ''''Calm your titties.'''' Jason said, and reloaded the chamber, ''''She ain''t dead.''''


    ''''AAAAAH!'''' A painful scream came in the direction of the bedroom. Evelyn jumped through the broken wall with her hair flying messily, clothes in rags, and a bloody cut on her torso. The physique of a level 500 yer would be able to handle a shotgun shell.


    ''''I will kill you!'''' Evelyn screamed as she fused her musician powers with her rageful words. Thus, a ripple appeared from a thin air, and sent waves after waves of shockwaves across the room, destroying everything in path.


    Jason fired the shotgun, destroying the shockwaves. After defending against the attack, he jumped over across the room, and smacked his shotgun across Evelyn''s face.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Evelyn crashed into the nearby wall. However, quickly moved out of the way as Jason fired the shotgun, destroying that particr wall.


    Evelyn grabbed the shotgun, and smashed her fist into Jason''s right cheek. However, Jason immediately countered, and smashed his elbow across Evelyn''s face.


    ''''Ptui!'''' A trail of blood flew out of Evelyn''s nose as she staggered backward in pain. Jason spun the shotgun around, and pulled the trigger. BANG. The shotgun shells hit her torso,unching her through solid concrete walls.


    ''''Evelyn, no!'''' The crazed-looking idols screamed, and turned to Jason, teary eyed, ''''Please, sir Inquisitor, stop! You are killing her!''''


    ''''Whooo, I wish it would be that simple.'''' Jason held his bruised cheek. An attacking from one of the top yers wasn''t a joking matter. He thought his brain would get thrown out of his skull.


    ''''I... now... know who you are.'''' Evelyn staggered out of the hole, her clothes utterly destroyed with blood, and bruises filling her torso. Even though she was half-naked, barely able to cover her private parts, no one cared as her wounds seemed very serious.


    ''''Mmm...'''' Jason put the shotgun to rest against his shoulder, and said, ''''Oh, who am I?''''


    ''''Lord Jason...'''' Evelyn spat out of her broken teeth, and grinned hideously, ''''That''s you... isn''t it?''''


    ''''Maybe.'''' Jason rubbed his neck, and yawned, ''''Haaah, so what?''''


    ''''You pathetic self wasn''t even chosen in the tournament... You are a disgrace!'''' Evelynughed hysterically as she tried to mock the biker before her.


    Shaking his head, Jason pulled out pair of handcuffs, and asked, ''''Are you going to put these on, or will i have to force you?''''


    ''''Someone... who wasn''t part of the tournament... isn''t worth my time!'''' Evelyn kicked the ground, and dashed across the room while sending her punch.


    Jason dodged the punch, and spun the shotgun around. As he ced the barrel before Evelyn''s face, she suddenly screamed, causing vibrations which pushed the shotgun away. She immediately threw her punch into Jason''s torso, pushing him a step back.


    ''''Argh...''''


    ''''You are nothing!'''' As she grabbed Jason from his hair, she rotated her slender shoulder, and threw him across the room.


    Crack. Jason flew through the wall beforeing to a stop. He patted the dust off, and turned towards Evelyn. She knelt on the ground, and snatched his fallen shotgun.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Evelyn snorted, and pointed the shotgun at Jason. After putting her finger on the trigger, she grinned, and asked, ''''Is this how you do it?''''


    Jason held his aching torso while gazing at the dark barrel. It was like sharing gazes with death.


    Evelyn slowly pulled the trigger. Bang. However, as soon as the shells left the barrel, they exploded, sending broken shards across Evelyn''s face. A impact rocked her shoulder, sending her flying through the wall.


    ''''Sigh...'''' Jason shook his head, and stood up with a painful chest. He cracked his neck, and walked through the wall. He saw the shocked employees, idols, and Juniper. At his feet, a bloodied Evelyn tried to stand up. However, in her current state, it was impossible.


    Jason grabbed her wrists, and locked them with handcuffs. As soon as he did, Evelyn''s abilities vanished. Her breathing started to turn slower, and slower. She was moments away from dying.


    Jason grabbed a bottle with translucent liquid from his inventory. He slowly poured it''s interior to Evelyn''s mouth. It was Special Healing Potion. It would heal all injuries while causing the person to fall asleep.


    ''''I-Is she dead?'''' Jupiter asked from behind broken desks. The whole room seemed like a warzone.


    ''''No, she ain''t.'''' Jason said, and put his hands below Evelyn before carrying her, ''''However, she won''t bother you anymore. We, the Government, will make sure of that.''''


    ''''Her family is... influential.'''' Jupiter said hesitantly. He also heard about Evelyn''s family being part of the government.


    ''''Doesn''t matter. My boss, Jacob, wouldn''t let her free after what she did.'''' Jason said, and carried Evelyn away.

 Chapter 584 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (10)

    Chapter 584 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (10)


    ''''W-We need to inform everyone that Lady Evelyn was kidnapped!'''' A several handsome idols gathered in a closed room. They disappeared from the meeting which Jupiter arranged after the battle between the Inquisitor, and Evelyn.


    ''''B-But, it is the government...''''


    ''''Doesn''t matter. Are you just going to let our lovely Evelyn get thrown into some dirty prison?''''


    ''''Never!''''


    ''''Then, it''s settled.'''' One of the idols reached into their pockets, and pulled their phones. They entered a chat group for Evelyn''s diehard fans. They knew that there were many crazy people in it, and some of them were living in the same city.


    They thought that by living in the same city, they were inhaling the same air as Evelyn, making them feel endless surges of pleasure. They were basically inhumane weirdos.


    After sending their messages, the idols nodded, and returned to the arranged meeting. Jupiter discussed about thepany''s future.


    ...


    Jason drove a ck-colored car through the deserted streets. Everyone had retreated to their homes to watch the tournament of champions. At the backseat, Evelyn slept soundlessly while all her wounds were gone, but the blood stains still dirtied her beautiful face.


    Green, yellow, red. The stoplight turned red as Jason slowly stopped the car. However, seeing the empty streets just made him frown with displeasure.


    Vroom... A car stopped beside him. The windows were darkened, and the car''s engine roared loudly.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Jason turned towards the car with a frown. However, seeing no activity from the car, he turned his attention back to the stoplight.


    However, as soon as he did, the darkened window slowly opened, revealing three armed men!


    Ratatatatatatata... They opened fire with their machine guns, breaking through the cars'' doors like they were made of Swiss cheese.


    The bullets riddled Jason''s figure as half of his face got blown away. The door behind him flew out of it''s hinges, causing him to fall to the pavement. His blood painted the ground in red.


    ''''Ugh...'''' Jason reached into his inventory, and clumsily dropped the healing potion. The liquid flowed down the pavement as he licked the liquid, hoping for it to work. Soon, his face restored alongside rest of his body.


    ''''Haaah...''''


    The armored men left their vehicle, and opened the backdoor. Seeing bloodied Evelyn made them angry after someone had touched their beloved goddess.


    ''''You, go kill that bastard.''''


    A masked man nodded, and reloaded his weapon before circling around the car. He saw bloodied man, lying on the ground without moving.


    ''''Hmph, this is what you get.'''' Moving the gun into a shooting stance, his finger touched the trigger. However, at that moment, Jason jumped to his feet, and smacked the gun out of his hands.


    ''''Ah, he is aliv--'''' His shout got interrupted by Jason''s fist. The single punch broke his skull, causing his brain to explode into mush.


    ''''Damn!'''' After cing Evelyn in their backseat, they noticed their friend dying before their eyes. With hateful gaze, they started firing their weapons. Ratatatata.


    Jason jumped to the safety, behind his car. He pulled out his two-barrel shotgun from his inventory, and shot through destroyed car windows. Bang. The shotgun shellnded on the waist of one of the men, causing half of his torso get blown away!


    ''''NO!'''' Thest man standing screamed as his friend fell to the ground, no light in his eyes. As thest one standing, he gritted his teeth hatefully, and tried to run towards the driver''s seat.


    Bang. But then, a loud bang echoed from the side. A shotgun shellnded on his face, causing his head to blown away in brilliant shower of blood.


    His body lifelessly fell to the ground.


    ''''Fuckers.'''' Jason reloaded the shotgun, and kicked his car out of the way. He stomped to the backseat, and ripped the door off. However, then he came face-to-face with Evelyn, and a hand pistol.


    The armored man had removed her handcuffs, and unfortunately, the healing potion''s effect wore off.


    ''''Look what I found!'''' Evelyn grinned, and pulled the trigger. Bang. The bulletnded in the middle of Jason''s eyes.


    Jason staggered backward with a bloodied face before falling t on his back.


    Evelyn stepped out of the car while looking at the corpses littering the ground. Her face showed disgust, ''''Disgusting...''''


    The people, who helped her to escape,y on the ground as dead. However, in Evelyn''s opinion, they were disgusting mongrels.


    ''''Y-You...'''' Jason held his bloodied face as he slowly stood up. His Health Potions had ended.


    ''''You should just die.'''' Evelyn held the hand pistol in a firm grip, and pulled the trigger. Bang. Bang. Bang. Each bullet struck Jason in the chest.


    ''''Ugh...'''' Coughing mouthfuls of blood, Jason barely managed to stay standing. Staggering side-to-side, he looked like a drunken old man.


    Evelyn pulled the trigger. However, could only hear cling. The magazine was empty.


    ''''Tsk, useless.'''' After throwing the pistol away, she grabbed Jason by the throat, and smashed him against the wall, ''''Mere Inquisitor. Do you not know who I am? I am Lady Evelyn, loved by every living being.''''


    ''''Ugh...'''' Jason looked straight at Evelyn''s eyes with dead coldness, ''''L... loved by every living being? That''s funny because I don''t feel any love.''''


    ''''Hmph, that''s because you won''t be living.'''' Increasing the grip, Jason''s throat started getting crushed.


    ''''?!'''' Jason widened his eyes in panic as all the breath left his lungs. He could feel the walls of his windpipe cracking, and nearly breaking. Death was nearing.


    ''''Die!'''' Evelyn screamed and all her strength flowed into her grip. A ordinary person would have died thousand times over. But, Jason was still hanging by a thread.


    ''As if... I let myself get killed by a whore like this!'' Jason''s eyes reddened as he grabbed Evelyn''s face with his bloodied hands. Using his thumbs, he dug them into her eyes.


    ''''ARGH!'''' Evelyn''s ear-splitting scream echoed in the deserted streets. She let go of Jason while holding her head. She couldn''t see anything. Everything was dark.


    ''''Fucking!'''' Jason grabbed her by the throat, and mmed her through the wall. They entered an empty store.


    Jason raised Evelyn''s screaming figure above him, and then mmed her body into the tiled floor. Crack. A loud crack resounded as Evelyn''s neck broke by the impact.


    ''''Haaah... haaah...'''' Jason watched as Evelyn couldn''t even speak anymore. She was barely staying unconscious. However, she was still going to live, barely.


    Jason grabbed her by her hair, and trekked out of the broken wall while dragging the lifeless body behind him. Since he didn''t have a car to drive, and there was a three kilometer long walk to the nearby government facility, he had to walk there like this.


    ''''I need a increase of sry...''''

    Chapter ?585 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (11)


    As the arena roared in esctasy. The eight match ended.


    At the far corner of the arena, God Ra watched the scene with his golden eyes showing the flicker of me. So far, he wasn''t impressed. The humans showed good ability. However, theycked the great deal of passion that was required for the future.


    ''''Hmph, Zeus thinks they will be the ones saving us?'''' God Ra snorted, and turned his body half-way, preparing to leave, ''''Hundred years wasted. It should never have been humans. Instead, we should have just nurtured Inhumans.''''


    ''''You don''t seem to have any faith.'''' A deep voice resounded from the dark hallway, ''''Isn''t that more important than passion?''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' God Ra frowned as a robed figure appeared. His giant figure loomed over him, like a skyscraper, ''''Show your face.''''


    The hood slid off his face, revealing an angry-looking bearded man with a red tattoo flowing over the side of his face.


    ''''Kratos...'''' God Ra''s figure stepped further into the hallway, suddenly feeling fear, ''''Why are you here?''''


    ''''The next match... watch it.'''' Kratos said as he turned around, and left. God Ra looked stunned as the tall man walked away.


    ''''Next match...'''' Curiously, God Ra turned towards the empty arena. The next match was ready to start as Heimdall rode to the center of the arena.


    The screen shone names of two next fighters.


    The audience turned loud as the next match-up was insane!


    [9. King Arawn Vs. Lord Amour]


    The whole arena shook with loud screams. This was easily the most anticipated match in this tournament, maybe even in White Online history!


    King Arawn, famous hunter with an excellent fighting record. His only loss came from the fight against Lord Kalzer. However, their fight was one of the most watched fights in the history of the inte.


    Now, he was fighting against Lord Amour, the Undefeated Lord. Since the dawn of time, he''d never been defeated. Not in real-life, and not in the game. His whole fanbase circled around his undefeated nature. Would today be the day when he finally lost?


    Dun dun, dun dun!


    The loud drums resounded across the heaven. Everyone walking in the streets, sitting on audience stands, and even watching the tournament from their homes, felt the ground shake as the result of the drums.


    In the Four Seasons.


    The servants of the Grayhound family watched with a nervous gaze at the TV screen. After the mention of Amour, their hearts started racing.


    Amon, the Patriarch of the Grayhound family, sat in his office while the monitor showed the view of the arena. Even though his face looked calm, his heart thumped against his chest.


    Somewhere in the world.


    King Arawn''srge family gathered in a hall. There were nearly thirty rtives of his watching nervously at the screen. They cheered, and hoped for his victory.


    ''''Go Arawn!''''


    ''''Go brother!''''


    In the arena.


    ''''Whew...'''' King Arawn cleaned the de of his axe. After doing that, he tossed the rag away, and looked at his reflection shown in the de. His grin grew as he stormed out of the waiting room. His aura grew as he walked closer to the arena.


    In other side of the arena, Lord Amour walked silently towards therge pair of doors. His face didn''t have emotions as he carried his crimson-ded axe in one hand.


    Heimdall raised his horn, and shouted, ''''Ninth Match, King Arawn Vs. Lord Amour!''''


    ''''Yeeeeeeees!'''' The audience shouted, with fists raised. Their excited screams shook the foundations.


    The cobblestone ground slowly disappeared, revealing the ninth arena. This time, it was a golden temple with tall statues of gods stretching towards the starry sky. There was arge golden throne, surrounded by knight statues. Everything was made of gold.


    Creak.... The two doors opened, revealing the two fighters. They walked over to therge golden temple, and saw each other walking. There wasn''t anywhere to hide. There was nothing but empty space filled with golden decorations, statues, thrones, and columns.


    ''''The ninth match... begin!''''


    Boom... The two axe-wielding men kicked the ground, and dashed across the temple. They raised their axes, and screamed loudly as they hacked them down. The sparks soared across the temple.


    King Arawn, and Lord Amour exchanged nces before pulling their axes back. They immediately started trading blows. With each swing of the axe, one blocked, and counterattacked.


    ''''RAH!'''' King Arawn''s scream shook the heavens. He shed the axe horizontally, cutting through the air.


    Lord Amour''s muscles bulged as he blocked the strike with the side of the de. His feet slightly slid backward. However, he immediately counter-attacked, and flexed his muscles, causing a burst of strength.


    King Arawn got pushed backward a single step. They immediately raised their axes, and smashed them down. Boom. The two axes collided, breaking the golden ground.


    The audience screamed in excitement, and started cheering for their favorites. One side shouted Arawn''s name. One side shouted Amour''s name.


    ''''Go Arawn!''''


    ''''Amour, win!!!''''


    ''''I have been waiting for this... for a long time!'''' King Arawn deflected Amour''s axe, raised his own axe, and hacked it down. The de rippled through the air as it flew towards Amour''s shoulder.


    ''''Whooo...'''' Lord Amour tilted his body to the right, dodged the axe, and smashed his fist on Arawn''s cheek. As he staggered a step back, he raised his axe, and sent a crescent-shaped sh across the air.


    King Arawn spun the axe with crazed speed, and blocked the strike. He immediately kicked off the ground, and threw a punch. However, Amour dodged the punch before it even reached its mark.


    Lord Amour''s crimson-colored de radiated a bloody glow as he raised it high-up, ''''Godly March!''''


    The first skill was unleashed. He marched towards Arawn while swinging his axe. The crimson-colored de corrupted the air with a thick bloody scent.


    ''''Hunter''s Resounding Glory!'''' Raising his axe high-up, Arawn screamed his skill''s name, and smashed it against the crimson-colored de. Two colors mixed-up. Crimson, and brown. As the two attacks fused with each other, the columns holding the temple''s ceiling cracked.

    Chapter 586 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (12)


    As the sound of cheers, and weapons shing resounded in the arena, the Gods, and Goddesses watched with utmost attention.


    The two fighters currently have perhaps the greatest physical strength of any yer. They were a perfect benchmark for future human fighters. They were the Peak of Human Physical Strength.


    ''''Argh...'''' Taking a step forward, King Arawn tried to push Amour away with his sheer strength. However, shockingly, Lord Amour managed to stand his ground.


    Their bones rattled while their muscles bulged. The scene was like one from a Kaiju movie. Two monsters made of pure strength fighting against each other.


    ''''HA!'''' Lord Amour''s muscles looked like they were on the verge of exploding. He forcefully stepped forward, causing Arawn to respond by lowering his gravity.


    They were in a deadlock. Everyone watching knew that a single mistake would lead to losing.


    King Arawn slowly lowered his gaze, and saw Amour''s base of foot. Raising his gaze back to Amour, he forced all his strength into his arms. However, he couldn''t move Amour even a inch.


    But, that wasn''t his n. He lifted his right foot, and mmed his heel on the base of Amour''s foot.


    ''''?!'''' Amour''s bnce crumbled, and he caught a glimpse of his bleeding foot. After losing the bnce, King Arawn immediately smashed his axe against Amour''s axe.


    Amour''s knees bent as the weight of Arawn''s strength struck his axe.


    The audience widened their eyes in shock. King Arawn was winning!


    Everyone watching from the Four Seasons couldn''t believe it. Most of them had seen King Arawn''s fights, and knew that he was incredibly strong. However, Amour had always been hailed as God of Strength. They never expected to see him lose in a battle of strength.


    ''''Haha, it seems... that my strength is superior!'''' King Arawn grinned as his veins protruded. The two axes trembled as they were suffering from strength of two inhumanly strong individuals.


    Somewhere in arena, Arawn''s former duo, PrincessHeart watched the match with irritation. She thought it was foolish that they focused so much on physical strength. Was this the so-called pride of the men?


    ''''Hmph, both are foolish.'''' She snorted, and returned to her waiting room. She finished watching the match between the two muscle brains.


    At the other corner of the same viewing room, Lord Kalzer watched the screen with utmost attention. He remembered the fight between King Arawn. During the fight, he had to avoid all the axe strikes. If even one struck him, he would have lost.


    The physical strength shown by King Arawn was ridiculous. It was like he was made from strength.


    Lord Amour''s kneesnded on the golden ground. He was now officially kneeling. Above him, he held his crimson-colored de while Arawn''s axe was trying to cut through it.


    In the Four Seasons, Grayhound Servants screamed in shock. They prayed for the victory of their young master. However, it wasn''t looking good.


    Amon nced at the picture of his deceased wife. Next to her, young Amour grinned with childish energy.


    ''''Haah...'''' He sighed, and turned back to the screen. His eyes showed faith, and trust in his son''s ability.


    In the arena, Amour chuckled with self-mocking, ''''Haha, I am looking quite pathetic...''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' King Arawn frowned as the words traveled to his ears. In his eyes, it looked like Amour was slowly giving up. However, he knew how stubborn he was.


    Amour wasn''t known as the Undefeated Lord because he managed to win every fight. It was because he just didn''t go down. After falling to 1 HP, he didn''t care. Most would focus on survival, and try to retreat from the fight. However, he never turned his back.


    ''''Pathetic...'''' Amour gritted his teeth, and slowly tried to straighten his legs. To everyone''s shock, he slowly started to push Arawn''s axe away!


    ''''Damn it!'''' King Arawn screamed, and tried to push the axe back down. However, it felt like he was trying to cut through the earth. It was simply impossible!


    ''''Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'''' With one final roar, Lord Amour pushed his axe away. As he stood straight with a majestic presence, his sweat-drenched face glinted with a brilliant glow.


    ''''Hah.'''' King Arawn chuckled with a mouth-stretching grin, ''''Good. If you had lost like this, it wouldn''t be fun!''''


    Swoosh... With a single step, Lord Amour appeared beside Arawn while swinging his crimson-ded axe.


    King Arawn clumsily put the axe''s handle to block the strike. However, the impact pushed him back several meters. His hands slightly trembled, making him feel shock. Rarely did he feel this amount of shock.


    ''''Bring it on...'''' King Arawn felt amazed, and honored to feel this kind of Amour. It was rare to see Amour going all-out, and to know he achieved made him feel honored.


    Lord Amour soared across the air while sending quick, and sharp shes towards Arawn.


    Arawn inhaled loudly, and weaved through the sharp air-cutting shes. Then, he raised his axe, and blocked the crimson-ded axe. Immediately, he jumped into the air, and hacked his axe down at Amour.


    Amourt spun the axe around, and blocked the strike. However, he still crashed to the ground on his back as a result of the sudden impact. But he quickly rose to his feet, and started exchanging blows with Arawn.


    Each sh brought cracks in the nearby colums, and ground. The audience felt like they were standing next to them. Below their buttocks, they felt their chairs shaking. It was surreal feeling.


    They started cheering even louder at the great spectacle.


    God Ra watched silently at the great match. Seeing the physical strength of two mortals made him feel amazed. However, he still couldn''t understand why Kratos told him to watch this match. If this was everything the humans showed, it wasn''t much.


    However, in the depth of his heart, he had a feeling that the two humans weren''t going all-out, yet.


    That same thought was shared by Gods, and Goddess. Even though the attacks seemed to be the result of their limitless strength, they still thought that they didn''t try their all. It was like there were manyyers yet to be unfolded.


    Amour, and Arawn raised their axes, and struck them down. The two axes shed. Their faces leaned closer, both eyes showing a flickering mes. They had yet to go all-out, like the Gods, and Goddess expected.

    ''''Heeeah!'''' King Arawn swung his axe, and cut straight through a golden column. Lord Amour appeared behind him, and swung the crimson-ded axe towards his open nape.


    King Arawn''s ears perked up. He heard the wind whistling behind him. He quickly ducked while the crimson-ded axe broke the rest of the column.


    The column fell apart, causing half of the temple to crash down. Afterward, a thick dust cloud enveloped the arena. The screens, and the audience couldn''t see the two silhouettes anymore.


    Inside the dust, King Arawn carefully moved forward. While looking around, he thought he saw shadows moving under the dust. However, after slicing through the dust with his axe, there was no one there.


    Lord Amour jumped through the dust, and saw confused King Arawn looking around. His mouth stretched into a smile as he swung his axe down.


    Arawn jumped out of the way as he felt something approaching. However, the crimson-ded axe stopped before touching the ground, and moved towards the left, slicing straight through Arawn''s shoulder.


    ''''Argh!'''' Arawn''s grunt echoed in the arena. As he looked back at his assant, he couldn''t see anyone. The dust blocked his sight. As he gritted his teeth in annoyance, he spun the axe around him with his nimble fingers.


    Slowly, he blew the dust away from him, freeing the temple from theyers of dust. Once again, the screens, and the audience, could see the two men.


    Amour lunged forward and swung his axe. Each swing cut through the air, and barely missed Arawn.


    Arawn weaved through the axe strikes, and countered with a precise sh towards Amour''s legs. However, he jumped over his axe, and continued swinging his crimson-colored axe.


    ''''Argh!'''' King Arawn swung his axe, blocked all the crimson-colored axe''s strikes. As the sparks flew, coloring the atmosphere, he was still getting pushed further back.


    In the afar viewing room, God Ares watched with a smirk as his legacy carrier was winning.


    The audience, and everyone watching from the Four Seasons realized that the tide of the fight had again changed. At first, it was King Arawn''s show. Now, Lord Amour showed why he was Undefeated!


    ''''Godly Army!'''' Lord Amour screamed, and ten illusionary figures appeared beside him. Soon, they started looking exactly like him. A secondster, they all held simr crimson-colored axes.


    ''''Whoo!'''' King Arawn grabbed his axe''s wooden handle tighter, ''''Bring it on!''''


    ''''Haaaaaaaa!'''' Lord Amour''s voice echoed from each illusionary figure. It was impossible to see who was real. However, as soon as they started moving, it started to be real. Only the middle one moved differently, while the other illusions ran in a straight line.


    King Arawn ignored all the running figures, and smashed his axe straight at the real Amour. Their axes again collided, the impact rocked the ground, and killed the illusions.


    ''''Your illusions aren''t very good!'''' King Arawn shouted while moving a step back, and swinging his axe in a reckless manner. From above, side, below, he swung the axe from each angle. However, Amour blocked each strike with nimble, and precise movement.


    It was like the crimson-colored de was another limb of his.


    ''''I know, but their purpose was just to distract you.'''' Amour grinned, while Arawn''s eyes widened in shock. A sharp de drilled through his waist. Behind him, another Amour appeared, holding the knife. However, his face was obscured and slightly disfigured.


    ''''I can create illusions that can attack. However, their movement is rough, and I still can''t make them look like me. However, they are good at sneak attacks.''''


    ''''D-Damn it...'''' Arawn chuckled with self-mocking.


    The audience erupted in cheers.


    At the gathering of Arawn''s rtives.


    It was dead silent. They watched with nervous hearts. It felt like their hearts might burst out of nervousness.


    Arawn''s father silently watched the screen while his aged eyes started turning misty. A long time ago, his son was always helping him with their farm work. He hurt his back at his previous work, and was half-handicapped.


    Most of the Lord, and King title owners were rich, with their ownpanies. Arawn''s family was a below-average ie family. They managed to get Arawn as a beta tester because one of their rtives worked for Legacy Company.


    It wouldn''t be easy for her to convince Arthur to let Arawn participate. However, surprisingly, Arthur said alright without a second thought.


    ''Win...'' His father clenched his fist.


    In the arena, the atmosphere heated as Lord Amour started his rampage. With each axe swing, Arawn''s posture fell apart, and more cuts started appearing in his muscr body.


    Reddish cuts appeared on the air as Amour continued swinging his axe with unbelievable speed. The de looked blurry as he shed from above, left, right, below, and middle.


    Arawn barely managed to block the strikes with his one-handed axe. However, some of the attacks sliced through his armor, made of durable bear fur. His Health Bar slowly decreased.


    ''''Amour, Amour, Amour!'''' The audience chanted the Undefeated Lord''s name. The ceiling shook as their thunderous shouts reached the faraway starry sky.


    ''''It''s over.'''' God Zeus said while crossing his arms, ''''If this is all they have, I am disappointed.''''


    God Shiva rubbed his chin with narrowed eyes, ''''This is the peak of humanity... This is not enough.''''


    ''''Damn...'''' God Zeus clicked his tongue. An idea rose in his mind. However, it would cause millions of casualties. Their duty was to keep everyone safe. However, at this rate, there was a choice between killing a few million or saving billions.


    ''''Oh!'''' However, at that moment, audience''s shocked exmations reached their ears.


    ''''What the heck...'''' God Shiva''s eyebrows jumped.


    ''''What is it?'''' God Zeus whipped his head around, and saw the current scene in the arena. A shock arose in his eyes.


    ''''Haah... haaah...'''' Lord Amour panted heavily while coughing blood, ''''Y-You... reserved this much strength?''''


    King Arawn slowly stood up from the ground. His de was stained with crimson blood. A red mes oozed out of his body. However, the mes didn''t hurt him. His aura grew stronger, and stronger, causing the atmosphere to feel heavy.


    Tossing his axe away, Arawn screamed, and shouted, ''''SPARTAN RAGE!''''

 Chapter 588 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (14)

    Chapter 588 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (14)


    Kratos, leaning against a rocky wall, watched as mes engulfed his legacy carrier. His bushy beard swayed alongside the powerful wind.


    ''''Boy, focus on your strikes, and don''t stop. No matter what you do... don''t stop attacking.''''


    King Arawn stepped forth, his momentum increasing by the moment. At that moment, he heard Kratos'' voice. Don''t stop attacking, don''t stop attacking, don''t stop attacking.


    ''''You threw your axe away... that''s a bad move.'''' Amour said, and held the handle of his axe in a firm grip. Even though the ming Arawn''s aura was unmatched, and something he''d never felt before, he still trusted in his own ability.


    ''''RARGH!'''' Arawn screamed, and threw a punch. His fist crashed against the crimson-ded axe. The result was unexpected.


    ''''?!'''' Amour''s eyes widened in shock as his veins ruptured, spewing blood everywhere. The axe fell from his grips, andnded on the ground. With one punch, Arawn broke his arms.


    ''''I-Impossible!''''


    ''''RARGH!'''' Arawn''s fist flew across the air, andnded on Amour''s gut.


    ''''PUI!'''' A burst of blood flew out of Amour''s mouth as he was sent flying across the temple. As he crashed through the golden walls, he lifelesslyy on the ground. It looked like he was dead, as the blue blood stained the ground around him.


    The audience covered their mouths with their hands. They looked shocked. A minute ago, it looked like Amour was sailing to victory. However, Arawn suddenly burst into mes, and caused the atmosphere to turn so heavy that it was even hard to breathe!


    ''''No, son!'''' In Grayhound Residence, Amon smashed his palm on the desk. The screen didn''t show his son''s bloody body, or that he was defeated. But, he knew that such attack couldn''t be dealt without grave injuries.


    Even though it happened inside the game, it didn''t lessen his worries.


    Arawn''s rtives screamed with excitement. They were certain that he had achieved the long-awaited victory. After this day, there wouldn''t be any more discussions about who was stronger, King Arawn or Lord Amour. Two men of different sides. Alpha, and Beta.


    From today onward, everyone will say that King Arawn was the strongest!


    ''''Ptu...'''' Amour coughed blood as he tried to rise to his feet. His health bar was blinking red. With two punches, his HP reached 1.


    Even though he was proud of his armour, and defensive abilities, in front of Arawn''s punches, he was nothing. After finishing coughing up blood, he smiled in a self-mocking way. There were many instances when he nearly lost.


    However, they had never beaten him so one-sidedly. He felt different emotions within him. A slight fear, excitement, and nervousness.


    ''Even if I use ''Power''... will I win?'' Andstly, hesitation. He started hesitating whether he was strong enough to win, or would he fight for nothing, just to end up losing in a pathetic manner.


    ''''Angh...'''' Standing up, Amour leaned against the golden wall. Next to him was the hole that went through the wall. On the other side of the wall, the temple awaited, and there, Arawn.


    ''''Father... I think I lost...'''' As he voiced out his defeat, Amour''s heart started beating. Everyone always said that he loved fighting because he always won. They would also say that if he wasn''t strong, he wouldn''t enjoy the game as much.


    However, that wasn''t the case. He wanted to win because he loved fighting. He didn''t want to lose that feeling. The feeling of a rush, and adrenaline


    Now, he was standing on the biggest fighting stage. Spectated by the whole world, and even higher beings. It was like he was born for this. From the moment he picked up his first weapon, it was for this moment.


    ''''Amour... named after my father''s love for my mother... My amour... sigh, I can''t lose while being the result of their love.'''' Amour wiped his blood, a golden glow reflecting off his eyes. He walked through the broken wall, and heard the shocked exmations from the audience.


    Everyone was shocked to see him still standing.


    Swiping his hair back, Amour revealed his fatigued face. However, this was the first time in a long time when he didn''t feel sleepy.


    ''''Rargh!'''' Arawn smashed his fist against his open palm, and started stomping towards him. As his feetnded on the golden ground, it felt like the whole universe was shaking.


    ''''Go Arawn, defeat him!''''


    ''''Amour, dodge! His attacks are too strong!''''


    The Gods, and Goddesses leaned closer. For the first time since the tournament, everyone put all their effort into watching the match.


    Reeling in his right fist, Arawn moved closer to Amour. As his shadow loomed over him, he finally unleashed his punch, d in red mes.


    Amour clenched his left fist, and punched straight towards the brick-sized fist that was d in red mes. Everyone thought it was a suicide. The vivid image of his arms breaking still flickered in their minds.


    Slowly, Amour''s broken arms started healing. From the depths of his heart, and soul, a golden flow of power engulfed his entire being.


    After seeing the golden glow, the Gods, and Goddesses all rose to their feet in shock. They couldn''t believe it. The golden color that came from the heart, and soul would usually mean only one thing. That person was a god or goddess.


    However, that shouldn''t be possible. Amour wasn''t God!


    Somewhere in outer space, Gaia sat on her own tiny. Her beautiful eyelids fluttered open, and a heavenly smile appeared on her face.


    ''''Bia, are you watching? Your son is showing that humans are amazing.''''


    In the arena...


    The two fists collided. Crack. Within an instant, a loud crack resounded in everyone''s ears. Everyone thought that it came from Amour. They sighed, thinking that it was suicide, and futile.


    However, Gods, and Goddesses watched with disbelief.


    ''''?!'''' Arawn''s rageful eyes calmed down as shock reced his rage. His right fist shattered. Every fingerbone, joint, and even wrist shattered.


    ''''H-How...'''' After Arawn started staggering backward, everyone realized that something was up.


    Amour clenched his right fist, and released a golden cross. After his fistnded on Arawn''s face, his face shattered.


    ''''PTU!'''' Arawn''s face got blown away. His headless body staggered side to side, back, and forth before falling on his back.


    The whole world turned silent.

    ...


    ''''YEAH!''''


    Following the first shout, the entire arena erupted in defeaning shouts. After raising their fists, their loud shouts reverberated across the moon city.


    Their faces varied from shock to amazement, andstly, excitement. The undefeated legend of Amour continued with an incredible show.


    None of them would forget this sight. It was like someone had engraved it into their memory.


    The Four Seasons had a calmer reaction. The main reason was that they weren''t present there, and couldn''t feel the arena shaking around them. Each punch thrown by Arawn, and Amour was felt by the audience. Their hair stood up, and their voices quaked.


    ''''Huh...'''' Amon leaned on the chair while the resounding shouts of his servants echoed from the living room. The golden glow that engulfed his son made him remember his deceased wife.


    Their first meeting was still vivid in their minds. He left a gathering of his friends in a drunken stupor. He could barely stand still. Then, he arrived at the famous tourist spot, where two benches stood beside a tall sakura tree.


    As he sat down, he saw the faraway city, adorned with bright, and beautiful lights. The shooting stars flew by while the moonlight brightened the atmosphere. However, at that moment, a golden glow appeared behind the tree.


    As he peeked over to the next-door bench, the sight took his breath away. To call her beautiful was understatement. Her swan-like neck, and almond shaped head, coupled with long eyshes, and delicate lips, made his heart stop.


    Because of his drunken status, he tried to strike up a conversation. However, her face quickly showed clear disgust. He forgot his alcoholic breath. After remembering it, he reached into his pocket, and clumsily ate mint pills.


    Trying to freshen his breath.


    At that moment, he heard a heavenly voice letting out tiny peals ofughter. She seemed amused for some reason. After hearing theughter, Amon decided to stay silent, and watched the beautiful scenery with her.


    After the sky brightened, the heavenly beauty disappeared. Amon didn''t know when she left. It was like time moved at superspeed.


    He continued his dull working routine, trying to build hispany from nowhere. However, that wasn''t hisst time meeting her. Her presence was like the appearance of a peerless treasure. Everyone stopped whatever they were doing, and turned to look at her walk by.


    She ignored them all, except Amon. Surprisingly, it was her this time who struck up a conversation. Amon could feel a thousand gazes of jealousy stabbing his skull. But, he didn''t care as he smiled, and this time, he acted like himself.


    This went on, until a yearter, they started dating. Then, another yearter, they married. After another year, Amour was born. Then, eight yearster, she died in unfortunate circumstances.


    She was about to pick up Amour from school when a drunken driver hit her with the car. Her death came as a shock to her. It was like fate. The first person she met in the world was a drunken man, and also thest.


    However, she was pleased with her life. From being a famous Goddess of Force, Power, and Might to bing the mother of a future powerhouse.


    Amon smiled sadly, and closed theptop. He sighed loudly, and turned to the faded picture. It showed him, Amour, and Bia, standing beside the sakura tree.


    In the arena. Visit Libread, for the best no_vel_read_ing experience.


    The golden temple disappeared while the audience was still cheering as loudly as possible.


    Amour walked down the long hallways. As the guards, and arena workers saw him, they stopped to p for him. They also asked for quick autographs.


    After giving autographs, and talking with them, Amour was about to arrive in his waiting room. However, at that moment, he saw an figure blocking his path.


    Seeing his figure, an immense pressure shrouded Amour. It was strangely simr to Arawn''s presence.


    Kratos stood in his path while crossing his arms. His face had its usual angry-filled expression.


    ''''Arawn was my... Legacy Carrier.''''


    ''''Oh...'''' Amour gulped, and touched the hilt of his axe, ''''Are you here to avenge him?''''


    ''''Hmph, no.'''' Kratos snorted deeply, and grumpily, ''''Your mother... Was her name Bia?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Amour''s eyes widened in shock, ''''H-How do you know that name?''''


    ''''I see, that makes sense.'''' Kratos snorted, and walked by Amour. His shoulder slightly bumped Amour to the side.


    ''''How do you know that name?'''' Amour asked with narrowed eyes.


    Kratos'' feet halted as he looked over his shoulder, ''''Bia was my younger sister.''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Amour was shocked to hear it. Hearing that Arawn was his legacy carrier made him think of only one thing. This muscr, bearded man was obviously God. Did this mean his mother was also a Goddess? Impossible!


    ''''You already know all the answers...'''' Kratos pointed at his heart, ''''In your heart.''''


    Amour fell on his knees while Kratos walked further into the hallway, soon gone from view.


    ''''But how... this doesn''t make any sense...'''' Looking at his hands in disbelief. His father always told him that his mother was an angel, who descended from the heavens. However, he thought he was just being cheesy.


    ''My father didn''t know... Is she truly... Goddess Bia from the Mythology?''


    ''''Amour, are you alright?'''' At that moment, a voice woke up from his stupor. Turning his head around, Amour saw Xerxus walking to him with a worried look.


    After seeing Amour kneeling on the ground, Xerxus thought that something must have happened.


    ''''Ah, yes...'''' Amour patted off the dust, and stood up, ''''Why are you here?''''


    ''''Eh... running.'''' Xerxus shyly smiled, ''''Can I hide in your room?''''


    "Fine." Amour shrugged, and opened the door before entering.


    ''''Let''s go!'''' Xerxus looked back, and forth between the hallway, and entered the room. It was regr-sized, with a TV mounted on the wall. It showed Heimdall riding back to the arena.


    ''''Whew...'''' Amour plopped down on the bed, and shut his eyes. Again, the tiredness struck him.


    Xerxus looked at him with a side smile. The previous fight amazed him greatly. He thought only Kalzer could be that strong. Now, everyone took a note of Amour. He wasn''t known as the Undefeated Lord for nothing.

    ''Underlord... kill them all... kill...''


    ''''Argh, shut up!'''' Underlord grabbed his hair, and yanked them strongly, trying to remove the voices out of his mind. However, it didn''t work. Erebus continued talking, corrupting Underlord''s mind more, and more.


    ''''I understand! I kill them, alright?!'''' After epting his fate, the voices disappeared. Underlord sighed loudly, and washed his face in the sink. Then, he heard Heimdall''s voice echoing from the TV. Another match started. However, it was between two nobodys.


    Tyrion Vs. NorthPole.


    Tyrion was already eye-catching because he was Kalzer''s teammate in the Second Stage. As soon as the fight began, he showed that he was quite strong. However, itcked the same impact as the previous match.


    His opponent, NorthPole, was Queen Diana''s teammate. However, his strength wasckluster. From the beginning, he was outssed in every way.


    After five minutes of a semi-boring match, Tyrion won by beheading him.


    There were several audience members that even let out yawns. After many exciting matches, this match made them slightly sleepy. Without Arawn''s, and Amour''s match, it would be match between two powerhouses.


    But, next to them, it was like a fight between children.


    After the match was over, Heimdall announced a ten-minute break. The audience members stood from their chairs, and flocked to the hallways. They went to empty their dders, and order food.


    ''''That was so amazing!'''' Since the end of the match between Arawn, and Amour, Colossus from Silver Death couldn''t stand still. He was like a little children.


    King Michael sat on his chair, eyes closed.


    Everyone was preparing for the uing matches in their own way.


    Gods, and Goddesses stayed in their viewing rooms.


    Isaac sat in his waiting room, alone. Every now, and then, he messaged Luna. She was spending time with Queen Cecilia.


    After closing the interface, Isaac closed his eyes, and remembered the fight between Arawn, and Amour. However, in his memory, he reced himself as the opponent.


    First, he fought against Arawn. It didn''t take long for Arawn to unleash his Spartan Rage, and tookplete lead of the match. With a single punch, Isaac''s body got flung over the arena. However, as the health turned dangerous, his White Death was released.


    After White Death, the fight became closer. However, in his mind, he still lost the fight. When he thought about fighting against Amour, the fight wasn''t even close.


    ''''Shit...'''' Isaac opened his eyes, and bit his lip strongly.


    ''Don''t think too deeply into it.'' Silvercloud''s voice rang in his mind, ''The match circumstances can also decide the fight, like the environment.''


    ''My brother is right. If the environment is forest, or something with a lot of cover, you could win!''


    ''''Even you guys don''t believe that.'''' Isaac chuckled. He could feel the fluctuations in their tones, meaning they were just trying to cheer him up. Even they didn''t expect him to be able to fight against them, and win.


    In Four Seasons, The National TV again showed the three men, and one woman. They had be quite popr because of the current sess of their newswork.


    ''''Alright, top five strongest fighters. Who are they?'''' The slick-haired man asked from his colleagues.


    The ssed-man nced at his notes, and said, ''''That''s difficult. Maybe you should ask for potential finalists?''''


    ''''Hehe, no.'''' The slick-haired man didn''t n to let them have easy questions, ''''Your top five, I want to hear them.''''


    After asking the question, even the people watching from their homes seemed intrigued.


    The ssed-man frowned, it was a difficult question.


    However, then the squint-eyed man spoke with a smile, ''''I know what my top five is. First is obviously Kalzer, Second is Amour, Third is Xerxus, Fourth is Sorcerer, and finally, Fifth is Noelle!''''


    The red-dressed woman shook her head, ''''I don''t agree with all. Obviously, Kalzer is first, and second is Amour. However, I think Noelle is third, fourth Xerxus, and fifth is King Michael.''''


    ''''Are you crazy?'''' The squint-eyed man screeched, ''''Xerxus weaker than Noelle?! You must be on drugs.''''


    ''''Hmph, is it really that hard to believe? Just because she is woman?''''


    As the two argued, the slick-haired man sighed, and mmed his palm on the table, ''''Silent.''''


    ''''Tsk.'''' Both clicked their tongues, and looked away.


    The ssed man sighed, and adjusted his spectacles before replying, ''''Alright, I think Amour is first. The strength he showed was miles above everyone else. Kalzer is second, Xerxus is third, Sorcerer fourth, and I think fifth is Arawn.''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' The beautiful red-dressed woman crossed her arms, and turned away.


    ''''Arawn has already lost, is that allowed?'''' The squint-eyed man asked.


    ''''He asked for the five strongest fighters, and I replied with my five.'''' The ssed man said.


    The slick-haired man smiled, and nodded, ''''Alright, taking everyone''s fighters into ount. The overall ranking would be Kalzer, Amour, Xerxus, Sorcerer, and Noelle.''''


    ''''What about you?'''' The ssed man''s question froze the atmosphere. Everyone turned to the slick-haired man, and remembered that he didn''t tell his five.


    ''''Aye, aye, I was the one asking question. Why are you asking questions from the questioner?'''' The slick-haired man wryly smiled.


    ''''Tell us your five.'''' Everyone said it with the same voice.


    ''''Tsk, fine.'''' The slick-haired man leaned against the chair, and pondered for a moment before replying, ''''Kalzer, Amour, Arawn, Sorcerer, Xerxus.''''


    Everyone nodded, and the red-dressed woman said with a frown, ''''So, overall ranking would be Kalzer, Amour, Xerxus, Sorcerer, and Arawn?''''


    The three men nodded.


    ''''You three are sexists!'''' The woman bellowed, ''''Noelle, Eliza, Cecilia, and Diana, what about them?''''


    ''''They are most likely in top ten, but not in top five.'''' The slick-haired man said while swiping his hair back. The ssed man, and the squint-eyed man nodded in unison.


    ''''Tsk.'''' The red-dressed woman clicked her tongue.


    ''''Alright, the next match is about to begin. Let''s turn to the match with our amazingmentator, Smith.''''


    In the arena, Heimdall appeared with his white horse. The audience was again full, most returned from the bathrooms, and with food, and drinks.


    Therge screen shed, and soon two names shone.


    Heimdall nced at the screen, and smiled.


    ''''Eleventh match is Underlord Vs. Night!''''

 Chapter ?591 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (17)

    Chapter ?591 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (17)


    Luna, and Cecilia watched as Heimdall announced the next pair of fighters. After the two names were revealed, the room turned silent.


    Cecilia turned to Luna, expecting to see her nervous. However, her beautiful face didn''t show even a ripple of emotions.


    Luna reached into her inventory, and pulled out the beautiful wand.


    ''''Good luck.'''' Cecilia patted her shoulder, and said, ''''Underlord is strong. Be careful.''''


    ''''Hehe, I will be alright.'''' Luna winked, and left the room. She skipped down the hallway, and soon arrived at the tall doors. The guards stood beside the doors, waiting for the signal to open them.


    In the other side of the arena, behind a pair of tall doors. Underlord dragged his feet behind him as he stopped before the doors. Everyone who saw him felt like something was crawling inside them. They only felt this when they were standing beside their worst fears.


    Rumble... The ground shook as the arena again started changing. This time, the arena was shockingly, a dark flower field. Above the arena, an artificial crimson moon hung high above. It was a strangely beautiful sight.


    ''''Match between Underlord, and Night, begins!'''' Heimdall''s voice seeped through the doors. The guards pushed the doors open, revealing an open path to the flower field.


    Underlord, and Luna stepped through the doors. They could see each other vividly. One looked sickly, like hadn''t slept for months, and the other one was as beautiful as any Goddess.


    Isaac walked through an open door, and stood behind the sea of audience members. From his current position, he could see the arena clearly. His face showed clear concern.


    There was a strange aura around Underlord, something that couldn''t be erased. It was dangerous, and bloodlusty.


    However, knowing that this fight was happening inside the game, it made Isaac heave a sigh of relief. But, there was a feeling in his heart that didn''t go away. He had a feeling that this might not end in a good way.


    ''''So, she is your legacy carrier.'''' Artemis said while looking at Luna. She was quite surprised that Hecate actually chose someone.


    ''''Yes, she is.'''' Hecate smiled proudly.


    Khione sat next to them quietly. She had met with Luna several times, and knew what kind of person she was. Thus, knowing that Underlord was her opponent made her feel a strange nervousness.


    ''Why am I nervous...'' Frowning, Khione touched her chest, but her heart didn''t calm down.


    ''I am sure everything will turn out fine, but why do I feel like something will happen...''


    The battle ensued.


    Underlord stood quietly, watching as the dark flowers bloomed. His frown grew as he caressed one of the petals. However, as soon as he did, the petals withered, and disappeared.


    ''''Hecate''s Magic, The Five Circr, Fire Lion!''''


    The dark sky brightened as a lion made of fire appeared as a result of Luna''s spell. The lion''s teeth were razor sharp, made of mes, and steel.


    As the lion caught the scent of its prey, its red eyes turned to the faraway Underlord, and growled loudly. With itsrge paws, the lion started rushing towards the sickly-looking man.


    ''''Luna''s Magic, The Fourth Circr, Fire Chains!'''' Luna waved her wand like she was the conductor of an orchestra.


    A fiery chains flew out of her wand. They zoomed past the fire lion, and surrounded Underlord.


    As the chains caused a sea of mes, the chains made of fire, and steel shed towards Underlord.


    The audience eximed in shock. They didn''t expect the delicate-looking woman to have such powerful abilities.


    However, they soon noticed that Underlord didn''t have any intention of dodging. To surprise of everyone, the chains coiled around Underlord as the mes engulfed him. Everyone thought he was dead meat.


    But, it was Luna who first noticed something was wrong. The fire lion leaped across the air, and sank its fiery teeth into Underlord''s neck. However, his emotionless face didn''t change.


    ''''Disappear.'''' With a single word uttered by Underlord, the fire lion, and chains vanished. All the burn damage disappeared. It was like the previous ten seconds were nothing but a dream!


    ''''W-What?!''''


    The audience eximed in shock. What the hell was that?


    The Gods, and Goddesses frowned. For a moment, they felt fluctuations in reality. However, they immediately shrugged it off. It was impossible. Only the Primordial God Erebus has that omnipotent power.


    ''''Unlimited Darkness.'''' Underlord snapped his fingers. Snap, snap, snap. After doing so, the entire realm was shrouded in darkness. Everyone thought they had lost their sight.


    However, as soon as the Gods, and Goddesses illuminated the area, they realized they hadn''t lost their sight. It''s just that Underlord caused the entire world to lose its light!


    ''''Zeus, this is not ordinary power!'''' From several rooms away, Artemis shouted through the open window. Zeus, alongside other Gods heard her.


    ''''She is right.'''' God Shiva responded with a serious expression, ''''His power is... not one of the Dark Priests.''''


    ''''Then what the hell is it?'''' God Zeus bit his nails, thinking about the strange scene.


    Underlord looked around the audience, smirking as he saw the shocked expressions.


    ''''Gods... Goddesses... That does not matter.'''' Turning to look at the beautiful woman, his smirk grew, ''''Night... Wraith''s girlfriend, correct?''''


    Luna frowned, and held the wand tighter.


    ''''You know... I have always deemed Wraith an eyesore. Because of him, my streaming career took a dent. Everyonepared me to him... always, always, always!''''


    ''''Whoo...'''' Calming down, Underlord swiped his hair back, and his face turned cold, ''''But, not anymore. There is no one stronger than I... Because reality is within my grasp!''''


    ''''Hecate''s Magic, The Eight Circr, Doom Song!'''' Luna immediately waved her wand, and a head-splitting song echoed across the space, and time. After hearing it, everyone saw images of doomsday.


    However, the full brunt of the image was suffered by Underlord. He didn''t only see the images. He was feeling it!


    ''''Get out of my head... Witch!'''' Underlord punched through the images, shattering them like ss.


    ''''W-What?!'''' A trail of blood flowed down Luna''s pink lips. Her eyes shook at the unreal scene. Underlord broke out of the spell like it was physical item, which wasn''t. That was impossible!

    Chapter 592 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (18)


    ''''This isn''t anymore a question of whether it is that power or not!'''' God Shiva jumped to his feet, and screamed, ''''He has Erebus'' power!''''


    ''''That bastard!'''' God Zeus jumped to his feet, and summoned lightning bolts into his hands. His face showed killing intent. There was only one thing to do. To kill Underlord!


    However, then a strange shadow wrapped the entire room. Following a coldness, a presence appeared behind them with an eerie voice, ''''Stand down...''''


    ''''Erebus...'''' God Zeus grimaced, ''''You think you can take us two?''''


    God Shiva turned around, looking straight at the endless darkness. He could see a dark silhouette. A elderly figure leaning against a cane looked at them with a droopy gaze.


    ''''Shiva, and Zeus. Hmph, you two youngsters should respect the elderly.'''' Erebus stepped out of the shadows, and mmed his cane on the floor, ''''Don''t touch my sessor. If you do, I will destroy reality, right here, and now.''''


    ''''Old geezer, you sure think highly of yourself!'''' God Shiva stepped forth, and from his forehead, the third eye revealed itself. As soon as the eye appeared, the Rudraksha beads, hanging from his neck, started shining.


    ''''Shiva...'''' Erebus had to take a step back as soon as the third eye appeared. There were only a few people he feared, and unfortunately, Shiva was one of them. He didn''t expect someone like him to appear here.


    ''''Take your filthy power out of this human, and we will let him live.'''' God Zeus said with his deep voice.


    ''''Why would I do that?'''' Erebus snorted, ''''You all can share your powers, while I may not? Since when were ordinary gods above Primordial Gods?''''


    ''''You are not the only Primordial God here, remember?'''' God Shiva said as his aura grew. He was known as the second-generation Primordial God of Destruction. He defeated Perses in a fight, and eventually killed him.


    Thus, the title fell on his shoulder.


    ''''You might be powerful... However, can you stop me from destroying the reality?'''' Erebus slowly raised his aged hand. He was one snap away from destroying reality.


    ''''I already suggested it once... I could destroy reality, and build a new universe with other Primordial Gods. And, we would make sure that none of the Demon scum manage to survive. But, none of you have the balls to do that!''''


    ''''That isn''t the solution. The problem is demons, not humans. They are innocent. Destroying everyone would make everything meaningless.''''


    Erebus looked at Zeus with disapproval. He always thought he was too weak-willed to be King of Gods. At least God Ra had balls to do some hard decisions.


    ''''What about you, Shiva?'''' Erebus turned to the three-eyed man, and almost instinctively lowered his head. Already looking at the eyes was dangerous, ''''Your duty is to destroy the universe, and rebuild it from the ashes.''''


    ''''I am done listening.'''' God Shiva flicked his sleeves, and reached his hand towards Erebus'' face. However, as soon as he did that, Erebus snapped his fingers, and he hid behind a wall of reality. It looked like a ss shield.


    However, Shiva simply punched through the wall of reality, and grabbed Erebus by the throat. As his third eye glowed, his headbuttnded on Erebus'' face, breaking the elder''s face.


    ''''Ptui!'''' Erebus coughed out golden blood while he was trying to arrange his messy thoughts. The single headbutt felt like a meteornded on his face.


    ''''Do it!'''' Shiva pulled him closer, and shouted with a voice that could break a thousand universes, ''''Break the reality. Let''s see what will happen!''''


    ''''Uuh...'''' Erebus, with fear, tried to remove Shiva''s hand. However, all his strength faded away from his body. For the first time since the dawn of the universe, he knew what fear of death felt like.


    ''''Shiva.'''' God Zeus touched Shiva''s shoulder, and said, ''''Let him go. He is nothing but defeated old man.''''


    ''''Hmph.'''' Shiva tossed Erebus out of the room, ''''Return back to your hole!''''


    Smash. The door closed with a m while Erebus hurriedly stepped into a dark portal.


    God Shiva plopped down on his chair while the third eye disappeared, ''''What should we do with Underlord?''''


    Zeus sighed while folding his hands behind his back. He stopped before the window, and he saw Underlord dispelling all of Luna''s spells with no trouble.


    ''''Underlord must be already corrupted by Erebus. A human mind can''t survive Primordial God''s abilities.''''


    ''''So, we should elimininate him?''''


    ''''No...'''' Zeus clicked his tongue, ''''Erebus would find another one, and this time, he would keep it secret. It would just ruin another human life.''''


    ''''You should have just let me kill him.'''' God Shiva said it like it was killing an ant.


    ''''Maybe...'''' God Zeus frowned, and then had an idea. It could work, or would bite them in the asster, ''''What if... Can we make Underlord our ally? Having him in our side once the Demonse would be important.''''


    ''''You think that''s possible? Erebus has most likely destroyed his mind already. He must be only thinking about killing right now.''''


    ''''It will be difficult... but not impossible.''''


    In the arena, Luna threw every sort of spells she could mutter. However, they were all tossed away by Underlord, and his strange ability.


    Her limit was nearing. Everyone could see her hands trembling, already unable to hold the wand steadily. Stronger spells, more burden her body would suffer.


    Cecilia, Alice, Khione, Artemis, and Hecate watched with worry. They already realized a minute ago that she wasn''t at Underlord''s level. Not even close.


    It wasn''t that Luna was weak. Underlord was simply too strong.


    ''''L-Luna''s Magic... The Eight Circr, Hellfire!'''' A shower of red mes covered the atmosphere. Even so, the audience could feel the temperature increasing drastically. At first, they started sweating until even their chairs started turning hotter.


    As if they were sitting on a sauna.


    Underlord stood below the hellfire, and was suffering the most from the attack. At least, that''s what everyone thought. However, with a single wave of his hand, the mes disappeared.


    ''''Ah...'''' Luna moaned in pain, and the wand slid off her hand. Thest attack took everything she got.


    Tap, tap, tap. Underlord stopped before her, looking coldly at her.


    ''''F-Fine... I lost...'''' Luna bit her lip in humiliation, tears threatening to pour down her eyes.


    ''''Haha...'''' Underlord mockinglyughed, and raised his hand. His handnded on Luna''s soft-looking cheek. The loud p resounded in the arena.


    Everyone turned silent. A feeling of anger started to spark among the audience. They all thought Underlord was only humiliating Luna. However, soon they realized something was wrong.


    ''''AH!'''' Luna fell to the ground, and screamed in agony. As she rolled in pain with tears falling down her pearl-like eyes, she held her painful cheek. For some reason, all pain reducing systems turned off, and she felt the pain like it happened to real her.


    In the real world, Luna''s lying figure suddenly twitched. In her right cheek, a red hand mark appeared.

    Chapter ?593 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (19)


    ''''Luna...?'''' Isaac''s eyes widened in shock. He felt an immense amount of anger. However, at the same time, confusion.


    The yer''s avatar shouldn''t feel pain without specially modifying the pain settings. Luna''s pain settings were at zero. Ever since she was bedridden in the hospital, she had hated the pain.


    Now, she was crying while holding her red shaded cheek. The audience, and everyone watching from the Four Seasons looked at the scene with confusion. Why was this happening to her?


    At the Snowflower Residence, Luna''s parents, and Marshall gathered in the living room to watch the match.


    ''''L-Luna!'''' Mariah shouted, her hands trembling as she covered her mouth.


    ''''T-This bastard...'''' Marshall''s eyes turned crimson as rage filled every fiber of his being¡ªlike someone opened the faucet, and the rage in the form of water droplets poured down.


    Sin tightened his fists. His eyes were ice-cold.


    In Whitelock Residence.


    Isabe, and Maxwell looked shocked. They knew better than anyone that feeling pain in the game shouldn''t be possible. Only crazy maniacs who enjoy pain would open their pain settings. However, even then, it was far from a normal pain.


    But now, Luna''s screams echoed from the TV Screen. They were full of pain, and agony.


    Sophia looked worried while holding a touchscreen phone in her left hand. She was texting with fellow Cult of White members.


    Marvin''s face paled as cold sweat poured down the side of his face, ''''I-Isaac will kill him.''''


    In the arena.


    Underlord grabbed Luna by her ck hair, and smashed his fist into her face. Thwack. After the fistnded squarely on her face, Luna''s eyes whitened. She looked like she was unconscious. But, her avatar didn''t disappear.


    ''''Not so easy." With a wave of his index finger, Underlord warped the reality, making it so that it wasn''t possible for Luna''s avatar to disappear. Cracking his knuckles, he raised his fist with a sickening grin.


    Everyone watching felt nauseous. The ones that used to be Underlord''s fans, felt like he wasn''t the same person as they were used to seeing on theirputer screens. He was now a demon spawn.


    ''''You dare?!'''' Isaac reached into his inventory, pulled out his sniper rifle, and pulled the trigger. BANG. The bullet flew over the audience.


    However, when the bullet was about to reach the arena, a transparent barrier appeared in the way, and blocked it.


    The heads turned towards Isaac, shocked to see him wielding a weapon.


    ''''?!'''' Isaac''s eyes widened. The barrier wasn''t there in the fight between Evelyn, and Noelle.


    ''''Drop your weapon, mortal!'''' An enraged godly voice echoed from the viewing stands.


    Underlord''s grin grew as he yfully waved toward Isaac. Then, he smashed his fist down on Luna''s torso. Smack. After the fistnded, Luna woke up with a cry of pain.


    ''''T-This fucker!'''' With a rageful eyes, Isaac pulled the trigger. He used Pulverizer. The crimson beam flew out of the barrel, scorching through the air as it flew.


    However, at that moment, a me-ded bident flew out of the viewing rooms, and blocked the crimson beam. The Pulverizer vanished. The bident slowly fell to the ground, right in front of the pale-faced man''s boot.


    ''''Mortal, did you not hear me?!'''' The voice boomed across the air, causing Isaac to crash on his knees.


    Isaac gritted his teeth, and tried to stand up. However, it felt like he was fighting against the world itself.


    ''''Piss off!'''' Isaac''s voice, filled with hate, and resentment, echoed in the moon city. Everyone who knew Isaac, had never heard him in such a tone before. Usually, his voice was powerful, filled with confidence. But now, it was somewhat scary.


    ''''You dare to speak to me like that, mortal?'''' A figure flew out of the viewing room, andnded before Isaac. His attractive middle-aged face showed screaming rage. He was the Goddess Hades!


    ''''T-This fool made Hades angry!'''' The minor Gods, and Goddesses gulped, and hid in their viewing rooms.


    ''''Get... out... of... my way!'''' Isaac''s knees slowly straightened while his bones rattled. Painfully, he managed to rise to his feet. As he looked the God straight in the eye, the bident suddenly flew into Hades'' grasp. He stabbed it forth. The me de drilled straight through Isaac''s torso.


    ''''Ptui!'''' Coughing blue blood, Isaac''s Health Bar went straight to zero.


    ''''Fool, hmph.'''' Hades removed the bident from the white-haired man''s body. As he turned to look away, he already forgot the mortal man''s existence. He was about to leap back to his wife.


    However, at that moment, the mortal grabbed him by his shoulder.


    ''''?'''' Hades turned back, and saw a pair of silvery eyes gazing back at him. There was something strange in the pupils¡ªlike they were snowkes plucked from the snowy ground.


    ''''Mortal, hands off me!'''' Raising his bident, he was ready to reap the mortal''s life.


    ''''Ah!'''' Another loud smack resounded in the arena. Followed that, cry of pain. Isaac, in his White Death form, turned to the arena, and saw a bloody cut going across her beaten face.


    ''''AAAAAAH!'''' Isaac, using his backhand, shoved Hades to the side, shocking everyone. Then, he leaped into the air, and smashed his fist into the barrier. However, as soon as he released his powerful punch, his wrist cracked. His hand broke.


    Looking shocked, the barrier suddenly counter-attacked, and a powerful shockwave struck Isaac''s body. His figure was flung over the arena, going through several walls before crashing on the ground, outside the arena.


    ''''I-Isaac...'''' Luna bit her lip, and touched the ground. She used the rest of her power to stand up. There was a cut on her forehead, which was bleeding with a warm bluish liquid.


    ''''Hehe.'''' Underlord enjoyed the scene. However, then he saw the beaten-up woman standing up. He sighed, and raised his hand again. This time, he nned to use deadly force.


    Hades looked at his shoulder with annoyance. Then, he saw the fallen Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle, lying below his feet. As he reached his hand towards it, suddenly another hand appeared, and snatched the weapon before he could put his hands into it.


    ''''Who?'''' Hades'' face turned slightly red. First, the white-haired man didn''t respect him. Now, someone dared to pick an item he was interested in, ''''Give it back to me.''''


    ''''Are you sure?'''' Hearing the voice, Hades'' eyes widened in shock. He saw a white-masked man looking at him with cold eyes. He held the Mosin-Nagant like it was a perfect fit for him.


    ''''W-White Death?''''


    Simo shrugged him off, and turned to Underlord. He slowly positioned the barrel before him, and once Underlord was in his sights, he pulled the trigger.


    BANG!

 Chapter 594 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (20)

    Chapter 594 The Tournament of Champions - First Round (20)


    Everyone turned towards the loud sound. They saw a single bullet flying across the air. As it closed in on the barrier, they thought it would be blocked, like the previous ones. However, a shocked exmation echoed as the bullet drilled through the barrier like it was nothing.


    The bullet reached its mark. It went straight through Underlord''s sleeves, and drilled through his forearm.


    ''''Ah?'''' Underlord suddenly lost the feeling in his right arm. As he turned to look down, there was a bullet hole in his forearm. However, he didn''t feel any pain, as expected.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Underlord arched his eyebrow, and turned to the person who fired at him. A white mask, a short body, and a small presence. Basically, nobody.


    ''Lucky shot?'''' Snorting, Underlord shook his right arm, and the bullet hole disappeared.


    ''''White Death, how dare you interrupt the tournament?'''' Hades leaned against his bident, and asked angrily, ''''The fight is still ongoing.''''


    ''''No, it''s not.'''' Simo said.


    ''''ording to who?''''


    ''''ording to me!'''' Simo turned the sight''s to Luna, and pulled the trigger. The bullet drilled through her head, killing her swiftly. Her avatar slowly disappeared.


    ''''Shit!'''' Underlord screamed, and tried to punch at the vanishing avatar. However, he only managed to hit a few pixels.


    Hades gritted his teeth, and swung his bident. However, Simo ced the sniper rifle on a block before the de could reach him.


    ''''Enough!'''' Then, Zeus'' shout echoed from the distance, ''''The fight is over!''''


    ''''Tsk.'''' Hades pulled his bident back, and leaped back to his viewing room. In there, Persephone snored quietly in the chair.


    Underlord spat on the ground, and looked at the white-masked man with annoyance, ''''You think you can hide there?''''


    Simo coldly looked at him. There was a distance of several hundred meters between them. However, to many, it felt like they were standing meters away.


    The screen showed Underlord''s name, shining in a golden hue. Name ''Night'' turned dark.


    Underlord smirked, and slipped his hands into his pockets. He carefreely left the arena, showing no respect to anyone.


    Simo turned around, and left the arena. As he entered the hallway, a dark-haired beauty was leaning against the wall, seemingly waiting for him.


    ''''Thanks.'''' Hecate said, with her gentle voice.


    ''''...'''' Simo softly nodded at her, and walked by her.


    Then, Hecate''s voice came from behind him, ''''Where are you going?''''


    ''''To calm down my angry disciple.'''' Simo said, and continued walking down the hallway. After he left, Hecate sighed, and loosened her bloodied palm. She was seconds away from entering the arena to rip Underlord''s head off.


    After stepping out of the arena, Simo saw a destroyed statue with a crater on the ground. Walking beside the pit, he saw bloodied Isaac barely keeping his unconsciousness. Without the White Death, he would be already dead.


    ''''L-Luna...''''


    ''''Calm down,'''' Simo jumped down the hole, ced Isaac''s motionless figure on top of his right shoulder, and leaped out of the hole. They didn''t return to the arena, instead, Simo started carrying him away.


    ''''P-Please...'''' Isaac tried to reach towards the arena. His vision was misty. However, he could see the arena''s light growing dimmer.


    ''''She is safe. But, you aren''t.''''


    As Simo''s voice traveled, and bounced across his mind, Isaac''s vision turned dark. He lost his consciousness. However, his avatar didn''t disappear...


    ...


    In the Four Seasons.


    ''''Ah!'''' Luna woke up with shock. Her face, and torso were in terrible pain. Then, the door opened with a m, and she could barely describe her parents'' shouting.


    Withst seconds of being awake, she could see the faces of her worried parents, and grandpa. Then, the consciousness slipped, and everything turned dark.


    Mariah, Sin, and Marshall screamed, and started mending her wounds. There wasn''t any permanent damage. However, some of her ribs might be broken along with her nose.


    In the arena.


    Cecilia paced back and forth in her waiting room. She screamed every now and then, and kicked a chair over.


    That same scene was found in Alice''s waiting room. First Queen Eliza lost, then Luna.


    It made her angry.


    At the far end of the hallway, Underlord hummed merily as his eyes crescented into a smile.


    ''''Are you having fun?'''' His feet came to a stop as he noticed Kalzer standing on the sidelines, looking at him coldly.


    ''''Of course, I won.'''' Underlord said with a smirk.


    ''''You call that as winning?'''' Kalzer untied his crossed arms, and walked toward Underlord. Once next to him, he was head-taller than him, ''''You weren''t fighting. You were torturing your opponent. That is not the same.''''


    ''''The oue was the same.'''' Underlord said, his grin still there. His eyes scanned Kalzer while he said, ''''I used to be a big fan of you, like many others. We all thought you were so cool, and mysterious. People like that stuff.


    ''''But now... I am not sure what I was seeing in you. You are weak, like an ant... I am sure I could stomp you like one.''''


    ''''Anyway.'''' Underlord yfully tapped his shoulder, ''''Stay out of my way. Just wait till the finals, where I will destroy you in front of everyone.''''


    ''''Why wait?'''' Kalzer snapped his fingers, and the ck-shafted spear appeared in his right hand. With a flick of his wrist, the de neared Underlord''s throat.


    ''''Easy there.'''' Underlord grabbed the de with his index finger, and thumb and said, ''''I want to defeat you in front of everyone, not here, where no one will see.''''


    ''''?!'''' Kalzer''s eyes widened. He tried to pull the spear back. However, couldn''t.


    Swoosh. Out of nowhere, a crimson-ded axe sliced through Underlord''s left arm, separating it from his body!


    Underlord saw his health bar blinking red. With a panicked expression, he quickly healed his arm. However, then the spear drove through his body, and impaled him on the wall.


    ''''ARGH!'''' Underlord''s scream echoed in the hallway. However, there were only two who heard it.


    ''''Whew.'''' Kalzer cracked his neck, ''''I am so tired of your bullshit.''''


    ''''Heh.'''' Amour rested the crimson-de on his shoulder, and looked at Underlord mockingly, ''''This bastard sure has a lot of nerve.''''


    ''''You dare?!'''' Underlord tried to snap his fingers. However, then the crimson-ded axe sliced through his hands, separating them from his forearms.


    The shower of blue blood painted the floor, and walls.


    Kalzer grabbed Underlord by the face, and whispered coldly, ''''Imagine if this happened to your real self... That will happen to you if you keep up your bullshit. Don''t repeat what you just did. This is the final warning.''''


    Grabbing his spear, he removed it from Underlord''s body, and walked away with Amour while they spoke about mundane things. It was as if they were dealing with some insignificant being.


    ''''Argh, Kalzer, Amour!'''' Underlord screamed in hate. All the wounds healed. However, the mental wound was still there. He could only imagine the pain if this happened in real-life.


    ''How dare they... I am great Underlord. I will kill you all!''

    Chapter ?595 Isaac''s War (1)


    ''''Mmh...'''' Isaac groggily opened his eyes. With a misty vision, he saw the ceiling of aged-looking ceiling. There was a shimmer of lighting from next to him. As he turned his head towards the light, he saw a white-masked man sitting on a wooden stool.


    ''''S-Simo?''''


    ''''You have woken up.'''' Simo closed the journal, and turned to Isaac.


    ''''Where am I...?'''' Isaac asked while sitting up on the bed. The wooden walls surrounded the room. They seemed to be on some kind of wooden cottage.


    ''''In my home.'''' Simo said, ''''In Winter Realm.''''


    Isaac''s eyes widened in shock. Jumping to his feet, he shouted, ''''Why am I here? I need to return to Moon City!''''


    ''''Why?'''' Simo asked, ''''Why do you have to return there?''''


    ''''The tournament... I have topete!''''


    ''''Why do you have topete?''''


    Isaac turned silent. As he opened his mouth, no words came out, forcing him to close his mouth again. He didn''t have any specific reason of joining the tournament. However, shes of Underlord''s grinning visage appeared in his mind, causng him to grit his teeth in hate.


    Isaac clicked his tongue, and walked towards the wooden door. However, as he touched the doorknob, it didn''t turn. It was like it was frozen in time.


    ''''Sit down.'''' Simo said, and pulled another wooden stool from beneath the table.


    ''''I don''t have time for this. My match might start at any moment!''''


    ''''Or already has.'''' Simo saw Isaac''s eyes widening in shock, ''''I didn''t say it had. But, there is possibility it has. You have been unconscious for hour.''''


    ''''An hour?!'''' Isaac turned to the wooden door, and raised his fist. As he was about to punch, Simo appeared behind him, and stopped him.


    ''''Are you going there for revenge?'''' Simo''s question silenced Isaac. His resentment was like wild waves. Once the waves sshed over the ledge, there was no going back.


    ''''You would lose.''''


    Isaac lowered his head, and mmed his fist into the wooden door. He realized that too when he was stopped by Hades. There were people far stronger than he was.


    ''''Also, Hades is not someone who would forget this incident. You wouldn''t make it to the arena if you stepped into Moon City the way you are currently.''''


    ''''Then, what should I do?'''' Isaac asked with frustration.


    Simo nced at his waist, where two pistols hung. He grabbed them, and tossed them on the bed.


    ''''Eh, what are you doing?'''' Isaac held his ears as Silvercloud, and Silvernium screamed curses at his ear.


    ''''You rely on these tools too much!'''' Simo grabbed the Mosin-Nagant from the wooden wall, and tossed it over to the bed, ''''They are the source of your strength, but you use them wrong. They are tools to concentrate your strength on the bullets. But, you are letting them use you!''''


    Isaac listened silently, a thoughtful look on his face.


    ''''At your current state, you won''t make it past the first round.'''' The truthful words caused a grim look to appear on Isaac''s face. However, he didn''t argue back because he knew it was true. Seeing the previous matches, he knew it would be true.


    Simo looked at his face, and sighed, ''''Your match hasn''te yet. However, it mighte at any moment. At max, you have eight hours of training.''''


    ''''Eight hours? That''s nothing!'''' Isaac shouted in frustration. He needed at least a month to be able to reach Underlord''s strength!


    ''''Indeed, it''s nothing. However, what if you have more time?''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac''s left brow arched.


    Simo twisted the doorknob, and opened the door. They entered a cozy-looking living room. There was a firece, a wooden table with six chairs, and wooden sets of stairs leading to the second floor. As Isaac expected, it was a beautiful cottage.


    ''''Woof, woof!'''' Out of nowhere, a beautiful dog hopped down the stairs, and ran around Simo while wagging its tail.


    ''''A dog?''''


    ''''Yes, it''s mine.'''' Simo chuckled, and caressed the dog''s fur.


    ''''This is... indeed a very beautiful ce.'''' Isaac walked to the window, and saw the snowy scenery. It was beautiful. The snowy valley with trees, and shining ice, made the scenery magical.


    ''''This might be your ce one day.'''' Simo said with a chuckle, ''''I have been invited to the God Realm. Something about being crowned as God alongside Adam, and several others.''''


    ''''You are bing a God?'''' Isaac asked with a shock.


    ''''Yes, haha.'''' Simo chuckled, ''''It seems, that your Mythical Legacy soon bes Godly.''''


    ''''Godly...'''' Isaac murmured gently.


    ''''Anyway, time is ticking...'''' Simo said while ncing at the clock. Tick, tock. He turned to Isaac, ''''Are you ready?''''


    ''''Ready for what?'''' Isaac asked while standing beside the window. He wasn''t sure what was happening, but felt nervous.


    ''''To experience... a war.'''' Simo patted the dog''s fur, and walked to the firece. He grabbed handful of white rocks, and tossed them over to the fire. The red mes turned beautiful white.


    ''''Hop into the fire.''''


    ''''What?!''''


    ''''Have faith. You will experience a war that happened a while ago. I participated in it, and you will be me for a while.''''


    Isaac nodded in confusion as he moved closer to the firece. He gulped, and made sure that his pain sensors were at zero. After ensuring, he looked at the white fire, then at Simo.


    Simo nodded, ''''Good luck. I will try to stall your match as much as I can. I might not be able to do much, but maybe enough so you can still participate.''''


    ''''Thank you...'''' Isaac said with gratitude, and took another look at the beautiful cottage, ''''And about this cottage... I would love to have this. Maybe I will move in here with Luna.''''


    Simo sighed emotionally as he looked at the cottage. It had been his home for a hundred years, ''''All my belongings are yours. The future generations won''t remember me. But, they will remember you. The future is still unclear, but with you there, I think everything will be fine.''''


    Isaac nodded softly. Hearing Arthur''s story, and Simo''s words, he knew that the Gods were afraid of something. Something that will happen in a future. He didn''t know what would happen, but he had now one goal.


    GROW STRONGER!


    Isaac stepped into the white fire, and immediately vanished.

 Chapter 596 Isaacs War (2)

    Chapter 596 Isaac''s War (2)


    ''''Simo?''''


    ''Simo?'' Isaac opened his eyes, and came face-to-face with a confused-looking soldier. He wore a white winter camouge trenchcoat.


    ''''Simo, these damn brown jackets areing!'''' The soldier wielded a rifle as he peeked over a small snow hill. In the distance, a hostile-looking soldiers, wearing a thick brown coats, and tightly fitted snow boots, marched through the snow.


    ''''FIRE AT WILL!'''' A loud shout came from far in the forest. As soon as the wordsnded in their ears, the white-coated soldiers pulled their triggers, and fired through the brown-coated soldiers.


    The brown-coated soldiers fell to the snowy ground, bleeding dry. However, from the depths of the forest, more hostile soldiers marched under heavy fire.


    Isaac looked around him in confusion. He was lying on a snowy field while the bullets flew across the air. The outfit he wore looked ancient, and the boots were somewhat ufortable. There was a set of skiis leaning against an old tree bark.


    ''''Simo, what are you doing?!'''' The soldier next to him shouted, and shook him by his shoulder.


    ''''Eh, did you talk to me?'''' Isaac asked in confusion as the soldier continued firing his rifle while talking.


    ''''Yes, who else?!''''


    Isaac''s eyes shook, ''Simo, old clothes, a war... I am in the past, living as Simo!''


    He peered over the snowy hill, and saw brown-coated soldiers returning fire. After seeing the symbol on their wool cotton uniforms, he was hundred percent sure of his guess.


    Looking down, he saw a Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle lying next to him. As he took it into his arms, he ced it into the firing stance. As one of the brown-coated soldiers raised his head to fire, Isaac pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet drilled through the soldier''s forehead.


    ''''Wohoo, finally awake mister Magic Shooter?'''' The soldier grinned next to him, and continued firing.


    BANG!


    A head-splitting sound echoed in the distance. A single bullet flew, and killed one of the soldiers wearing white winter camouge.


    ''''SNIPER!''''


    ''''Shit...'''' The soldier next to Isaac hid behind the hill, ''''Hey, Simo. Do you mind taking this, heh?''''


    Isaac nced at him, and shrugged his shoulders. As he touched his face, he noticed that he was wearing a white mask. identical to Simo''s white mask.


    As he aligned it with his eyes, he ced his finger on the trigger, and closed his left eye. The firing had stopped. Everyone was waiting for the battle of snipers to end.


    The white-uniformed soldiers gulped. The brown-coated men grinned in their hideouts.


    Isaac calmly waited. Soon, his patience paid off. In the distance, he saw a shimmer of light reflecting off a sniper scope. He immediately changed his fire, and as soon as the scope was in his sight, he pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    The bullet rippled through the air, and drilled through the scope before shredding through the brown-coated sniper''s eye.


    The soldier lifelessly stumbled down the steep snow hill, rolling down to a stop in front of the pale-faced brown-uniformed soldiers.


    ''''Fuck, it''s White Death!''''


    They picked up their weapons, and retreated immediately.


    ''''FIREEE!'''' The men in white rose to their feet, and started chasing after them while firing their guns. More men in brown fell to the ground, staining the white snow in their blood.


    Isaac jumped over the hill, and fired the weapon in his arm like he was a grim reaper. With each bullet, several men died. It was a supernatural sight, causing the tale of White Death to be stronger in everyone''s mind.


    After about half an hour of chasing, all the men in brown had already retreated into their territory.


    ''''Wohoo, good job!'''' Soldiers came with a childish grins, and patted his shoulders as they walked past. They returned to their territory, and ced the dead soldiers into carriages before returning to their army headquarters.


    There, several old tents surrounded by a hundred meter radius. Further away, there were wooden cottages, where higher-ranked soldiers lived.


    As Isaac entered the camping area, everyone turned to look at him with a mix of emotions. They had already heard about his deed. He killed close to twenty men, and wasn''t even sweating. That made many frightened, and some felt a well-earned respect.


    ''''Corporal H?yh?!''''


    Isaac turned to the voice, and saw a well-dressed soldier walking towards him.


    ''''Yes, Lieutenant?'''' Like he had done it a thousand times, Isaac saluted with great posture as the higher-ranked officer walked up to him.


    ''''The soldier that was supposed to be at guard duty today, died.'''' The Lieutenant said with a grave look, ''''May you take his ce?''''


    ''''Yes, sir.'''' Isaac saluted, and the higher-ranked officer nodded as he returned to the wooden cottages.


    ''''Hmph, these bastards have sticks so up their ass that it''s a miracle they weren''t ssified as popsicles.'''' The soldier, who fought beside him, appeared next to Isaac, and said, while looking towards the cottages, ''''There they eat warm food, living in warm buildings, while we are in danger, and eat shabby food.''''


    ''''This is our duty. Their duty is to create ns for the attack.'''' Isaac strapped the gun on his back, and said, ''''I am on guard duty. See you.''''


    ''''I am feeling safe already.'''' The soldier saluted yfully, and returned to his tent. In there, seven men sat around a cooking pot. They talked loudly with an old ent, and strange words.


    ''''Guys, another storying up!'''' The soldier caught everyone''s attention as he picked up a bowl, and filled it with the food, ''''Today, Simo killed close to twenty people!''''


    ''''Pah, no way!'''' The seven men shook their heads. They had heard several crazy rumors about him. But, killing twenty? Impossible.


    ''''It''s true, it''s true!'''' The soldier scooped the food with a spoon, and after munching on the meat, he said, ''''I wasn''t the only one there. You may ask themander, he was there!''''


    ''''Well, then tell us the story.''''


    ''''Hehe,ing up!''''


    After leaving the camping area, Isaac rummaged through his pockets. He pulled out a old hard bread, and munched on it. It was disgusting. However, he somehow managed to swallow it down, and felt slightly warmer already.


    He reached his guard post. It surrounded him. He had a clear view to the front, left, and right. However, the back waspletely in his blind spot. But, it was the other guards duty to make sure that no one manages to hit him in back.

 Chapter? 597 Isaacs War (3)

    Chapter? 597 Isaac''s War (3)


    ''''Time for the 19th match!'''' Heimdall shouted, surrounded by the glowing light.


    After the fight between Underlord, and Night, the several matches after that were high-level, but didn''t have the same amount of impact. Still, the audience, and denizens of Four Seasons enjoyed the tournament.


    However, there was a heavy atmosphere among the Gods, and Goddesses. After Hades'' angry outburst, they discussed about Underlord, and what they should do.


    There were several who thought that they couldn''t leave him alone. The seconding of Erebus wasn''t far off. However, there were also those who thought that they should leave him alone. Thus, they didn''te to a conclusion.


    In the Four Seasons.


    ''''Oww...'''' Luna rubbed her cheek as she woke up. She noticed a far-away ceiling, and mistook it for the sky. After the foggy vision cleared up, she noticed the pinkish walls of her room.


    ''''My cheek... it hurts.'''' She said aloud while rubbing her cheek. It felt like she got punched, very hard.


    The door creaked open, revealing her worried-looking parents, and Marshall. As they entered the room with a bowl of soup, they noticed that Luna was awake.


    ''''Luna!'''' Mariah ran to her side, and as she grabbed her hand, she asked, ''''Are you alright?!''''


    ''''M-Mom?'''' Luna looked around in confusion, ''''Why am I here?''''


    Mariah worriedly looked past her husband, and father. A handsome man entered the room. He was the Chief Doctor of Snowstar Hospital, Richard.


    ''''R-Richard?'''' Luna''s eyes widened in a surprise, ''''Why are you here?''''


    Richard gently smiled while cing his hands behind his back. Before getting a worried call from Mariah, and Sin, he was watching the tournament while surrounded by his notes. He had been trying to perfect the potion made from the Fountain of Life.


    He was satisfied at his current process. However, first time in a month, he had to stop the research after seeing the battle between Underlord, and Luna.


    After seeing the reaction, and the damage dealt to Luna, he realized that it was something serious. It wasn''t the usual damage done to an avatar. Instead, very real.


    ''''How are you feeling?'''' Richard asked while checking Luna''s round pupils. They reacted very well to the light.


    ''''Umm... confused. It''s like my memory has a barrier, stopping me from remembering something... However, I do have a round-about idea about the memory.''''


    Richard nodded, ''''Those memories will return to you. But for now, you lost in your match, and got injured.''''


    ''''I-Injured?'''' Luna touched her forehead. It was bandaged. At that moment, she remembered the outline of Isaac, punching a barrier. However, that fragment of memory vanished immediately.


    ''''Where is Isaac?''''


    Mariah, Sin, and Marshall looked at each other. A worry painted on their faces The sh between Isaac, and Hades wasn''t recorded by the cameras. However, knowing that Luna got hurt, they expected him toe check on her...


    He didn''t.


    They messaged Whitelock''s, and they went to check on him. But, he was lying peacefully on the bed, a VR Headset wrapped around his face.


    Marvin entered the game, and sent a message to Isaac. However, they only received a message that Isaac was beyond their reach. Then, he tried messaging Alice, and managed to do so. He asked if she knew where he was.


    She didn''t know either. At that moment, they didn''t know that she was in the Moon City. Without telling them, Alice went to search the entire arena.


    After asking Kalzer, and everyone who knew Isaac, they all came to one conclusion. Isaac wasn''t in the arena anymore. They left the arena, and saw the broken ground. They saw a ripped-off sleeve lying on the ground. It belonged to Isaac.


    After searching around, there was no sign of him being anywhere in Moon City. They all wondered, where did Isaac go, and was he alright?


    Luna''s face changed into a worry after seeing them not answering, ''''Where is he? Answer me.''''


    ''''He is still in the Moon City, most likely preparing for the fight.''''


    ''''Whew...'''' Luna sighed in relief, and smiled sweetly, ''''Can I return there? I want to cheer for him.''''


    Richard sighed, and shook his head, ''''I am not sure if that''s a good idea. You hurt your head, badly. Putting the VR headset on might remove the bandages.''''


    ''''Oh...'''' Luna''s lips curled downward. Then, she asked, ''''Can I get a TV here?''''


    ''''Sure, honey.'''' Mariah patted her head, and motioned for Sin, and Marshall to fetch one from the living room.


    ...


    ''''Men, this is the moment!'''' A man, wearing a fur hat, and a winter trenchcoat, shouted while standing before a hundred-strong army of white-coated men, ''''Whether we die or not. We won''t back down! Koa will stand!''''


    ''''Koa will stand!'''' The soldiers shouted in perfect synchrony. It was like they had practiced it a thousand times for this moment.


    Themander of the soldiers, Captain Juutinen, turned his back, and gazed at the faraway valley. The artillery rounds assaulted the forest while the gunshots echoed in the distance.


    ''''Onwards! Even if you fall, you do not stop! You may only rest when it''s your corpse that is safeguarding the gates of the afterlife!''''


    With their skiis, the soldiers skied through the soft snow. The sky raged as the artillery rounds fell everywhere. It was like a scene from some apocalypse movie. With each artillery strike, one of the men exploded into a brilliant shower of blood.


    In the middle of the horde, Isaac skiied while gritting his teeth. The artillery rounds rampaged around him. However, he managed to dodge them all. Shortlyter, he entered the forest, and got rid of the kiis.


    After pulling out his trusty rifle, he aimed, and fired. The bullet broke through the skull of the brown-coated soldier.


    Beside Isaac, more white-coated men ran into the forest, screaming their lungs out. The bullets filled the air. The trees soon became riddled with bullet holes as the explosions rang out everywhere.


    The snow blew, disturbing the vision of the soldiers. The two sides fought. Only a mere 200 white-coated soldiers fought a massive force of thousands of brown-coated soldiers.

 Chapter 598 Isaacs War (4)

    Chapter 598 Isaac''s War (4)


    ''''Sir, General!'''' A brown-coated soldier entered a green-colored tent. Inside, he saw four, grumpy, and old soldiers, gathered around a strategy table. They were deciding the next course of attack.


    ''''What is it?''''


    ''''Our soldiers can''t advance!''''


    ''''They have an overwhelming advantage!'''' The General screamed, and smashed his fist into the table, ''''I sent a big portion of our division there! If even they can''t break through their defense, then why the fuck are we even here!''''


    The soldier gulped, and mentioned, ''''We heard from an eyewitness that they had White Death in their side. He is currently killing all of our snipers. Our men are too afraid to move!''''


    The other high-ranked officers turned silent. They turned to the General, and saw his beef-red face.


    ''''Do you have any idea of his general location!''''


    ''''W-Well, somewhere in the northeast forest of Koa!''''


    ''''Focus all artillery fire there!'''' The General ordered, and moved the figures on the strategy table. The artillery rounds moved to the northeast forest in the map, ''''They want to have a hero? Very well, they will get a martyr instead!''''


    ...


    Isaac pulled the trigger, and as soon as another skiing soldier fell to the wet snowy ground, he reloaded, and fired again. That continued until the advancement of the brown-coated soldiers entirely stopped.


    Everyone stopped firing their weapons. The artillery fire stopped. The whole forest turned silent, and the wind stopped. It was as if the whole world turned silent.


    Isaac frowned, and whipped his head around. Even the Captain seemed to be confused. All the white-coated soldiersy still, waiting for the enemy army to do their move first.


    However, then they all heard a whislinging from the sky. Artillery rounds shredded through the air, andnded on the forest. The trees exploded, and sent snow everywhere.


    Several screams of white-coated soldiers rang in the forest. They all missed limbs, and some even had their guts out!


    ''''Watch out!'''' Their Captain''s scream followed.


    Isaac''s eyes widened in a shock as he raised his head to the sky. Several artillery rounds flew straight towards him. It was like they were specifically targeting him!


    He jumped to his feet, and ran further into the forest. As soon as his silhouette zoomed past the trees, the gunfire resounded beside him. The bullets flew over him.


    Isaac rolled on the ground, and after stopping beside a broken-in-half tree, he found a target, a brown-coated soldier aiming with his rifle, trying to kill him. He immediately pulled his trigger, and watched as the bullet tore through the soldier''s eye.


    Swoosh... Once again, the artillery fire continued destroying the forest. However, Isaac managed to dodge them all, and continued to get rid of the brown-coated soldiers. After ten minutes, the artillery fire stopped.


    Isaac, sweating heavily, watched as the brown-coated soldiers ran away with their tails tucked between their legs. The white-coated soldiers screamed in celebration. This time, they didn''t chase after them. They were only defending their current post.


    ''''Whew...'''' Isaac returned to his fellow soldiers, and left the forest with them. As they picked up their skiis, they left the destroyed forest. A cloud of smoke lingered in the air, and most of the trees were broken in half, and the ground flipped upside down.


    ...


    Time passed quickly. A month... two months...Until, finally, a decisive day happened.


    Isaac trekked down the snowy forest, alone. He had lost track of time, and eventually becamepletely used to the army routine. He wasn''t even sure anymore whether he was Simo H?yh? or Isaac Whitelock.


    He had forgotten about the Tournament of Champions, and everyone who waited for his return. There was only one thing in his mind, to win this war.


    Isaac soon reached his position He soughtst night for this day. The ce was surrounded by frozen snow. He froze it so that the snow wouldn''t expose his position after firing his weapon.


    After kneeling down, Isaac put a mouthful of snow into his mouth. It was to keep his breath from giving off his position. Then,stly, he took afortable position in a kneeling position while cing the rifle''s stock against his shoulder.


    He became more used to this kind of firing position. Kneeling, and not lying. He found it morefortable, strangely enough.


    Now, the waiting began.


    A hundred meters away, a brown-coated man hid between two trees. He yawned while holding a sniper with a scope. The previous night, he barely slept, and didn''t receive any food either. He was starving, and would want to justy down and sleep.


    ''M-maybe... little... bit, doesn''t hurt...'' The soldier''s head hung low as his heavy eyelids closed shut. However, at that moment, he identally pulled the trigger.


    BANG!


    ''''Ah!'''' The soldier woke up, and noticed his bullet flying across the air, ''No, I have to go before my position is found!''


    Isaac, who was seeking for his next prey, flinched after hearing the loud bang. A quick projectile flew through the air, andnded on his left cheek!


    The bullet exploded, sending broken shards across his face.


    ''''?!'''' Isaac''s eyes widened in shock, and half of his white mask ripped apart. Beneath the mask, a face that didn''t belong to him appeared. Instead, it was Simo''s face, which was now bleeding heavily with skull showing cracks!


    ''''W-Where?!'''' With his vision swimming, Isaac screamed while trying to find who shot him. In the distance, he saw a silhouette of brown-coated man running away. After grunting in pain, and adrenaline fueling his body, he ced his rifle into a firing position, and pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet flew across the air, andnded on the brown-coated soldier''s head. After a hole appeared in the middle of the soldier''s face, he fell down, dead.


    Isaac clumsily staggered to his feet, and started stumbling backward. He slowly turned around, half of his face gone. The vision grew dim as he started stepping forth.


    He didn''t know how long he walked for, or where. But, after a time that seemed eternity, he felt hands touching his body with screams entering his ears.


    After opening his heavy eyes, he was standing in the middle of the camping area. A shocked-looked soldiers screamed for a medic while they bandaged his bleeding face. Shortly afterward, a pale-faced medic appeared, and looked as if he had seen a ghost!


    ''''How the hell is he still alive?!''''

 Chapter ?599 Isaacs Redemption.

    Chapter ?599 Isaac''s Redemption.


    ''''Water... water...'''' Isaac murmured, whispering the thing he most desired for now. His throat was parched. His legs were covered by a thin nket, and he could see the misty outlines of old hospital equipment.


    Tap, tap, rapid footsteps arrived beside the bed. Isaac could hear muffled sounds. Then, he felt a cold cup touching his dried lips, and soon fresh water flowed down his throat, quenching the thirst.


    After the cup was emptied, Isaac turned to the person whose footsteps he heard. A nurse, of some sort, with an aging military uniform, looked at him with a mix of emotions. Before her was the War Hero, who was shot in the face, and survived.


    ''''W-Where...'''' Isaac awkwardly turned to the side, and saw snowkes falling down behind the window that was as wide as his armspan.


    The rest of the hospital room was empty. There was space for a dozen wounded soldiers. However, he was the only one here, alongside the nurse.


    ''''You are in a hospital, near Koa''s border.''''


    ''''W-What happened?''''


    ''''Sir, you were shot.''''


    After hearing ''shot'', Isaac, with his skinny hand, started touching his face. Arge amount of bandages covered half of his face. It was like he was the viin, two-face.


    ''''Sir, rest for now. I will contact themanding officer.'''' The nurse smiled gently, and managed to reach the door, touch the doorknob, before she heard onest question.


    ''''What about the war?'''' Isaac awkwardly sat down, but felt a throbbing pain in his left jaw. He turned to the nurse, looking pained as he moved his neck.


    The nurse opened the door, and smiled beautifully, ''''The war is over. It ended yesterday.''''


    ''''D-Did we win?''''


    The nurse turned silent before turning away, and leaving the hospital room, ''''No... we lost.''''


    As the door closed, Isaac continued staring at the grayish door with a nk expression. He then picked up a newspaper from the top of a drawer, and saw the front page.


    [Victory, and Defeat!]


    He slowly read the newspaper, and got a general outlook. They lost territory, and thus lost the war. However, arge portion of their country still remained. Thus, they also won. After the peace treaty, the enemy army returned to their home, leaving them to lick their wounds.


    Then, on the fifth page, there was a mention of him. It said he was dead. Isaac shook his head, and folded the paper.


    Throb... throb... under his left cheek, the jaw throbbed with an aching pain. Isaac gritted his teeth, and turned to the window. At least the falling kes caused a some sense of serenity within him.


    The days went by, the night dawned, and the morning arose. It continued. Themanding officer visited Isaac, utterly bbergasted that he survived. They spoke for an hour until interviewer arrived, shocked to see that Simo was alive. He was the one who wrote the article of his death!


    He interviewed him for close to an hour, until finally, he asked a long-awaited question.


    ''''Simo, I have to ask. What did you feel when you killed soldiers from the Red Army?''''


    Isaac sighed, and nonchntly replied, ''''The recoil.''''


    ''''E-Eh?'''' The interviewer looked shocked. The men, and nurses behind him widened their eyes simultaneously. They thought he would say something along the lines of regret.


    At first, the days were long, and dull. Then, months turned to years. The winter went by, and spring came and went. After a year, another war arrived. However, this time, Isaac wasn''t allowed to join.


    Isaac sat on a wooden chair on a terrace. Behind him was the cozy-looking cottage. A beautiful dog ran circles in the yard, chasing after insects.


    As the sunlight peeked through the tree branches, it shone on Isaac''s face, still looking like Simo''s. However, this time, half of his face was disfigured. It could look monstrous to many. However, to soldiers, it was something to be proud of.


    Leaning against the chair, the Mosin-Nagant rifle sparkled under the sun''s rays.


    Isaac grabbed the rifle, and stood to his feet. After carefully stepping down the steps, he whistled, attracting the dog''s attention. The beautiful dog started chasing after him as they entered the forest.


    After walking for twenty minutes, he noticed a moose stomping along the lines of the trees. Isaac aimed, his finger grazing the trigger. As the wind calmed down, the clouds stopped above him. It felt like the whole world was resonating with the weapon.


    Unknowingly, Isaac''s experience in the war, and post- war made him far stronger than he could have ever achieved in the Four Seasons. This was difference living in dangerous times, and in peaceful times.


    After Isaac pulled the trigger, the bullet swooshed, and drilled through the moose''s head. As therge creature fell down on it''s side, he strapped the weapon on his back, and strolled to the fallen moose.


    The moose wasn''t breathing. It was dead.


    However, as soon as Isaac knelt on the ground, something happened. His heart started throbbing.


    ''''Argh!''''


    The dead moose vanished into a fleeting cloud, all the trees vanished, and even the barking dog disappeared. It was like the whole world was made of fog, and now the wind blew it away.


    ''''Hah!'''' Isaac''s eyes traveled across thousand realms before his body crashed on the floorboard of a cozy-looking cottage. As he awkwardly climbed to his feet. He noticed the cottage, from his far-away memory.


    The firece behind him burned strongly.


    Then, all the memories started flooding his mind. Everything from his birth, till this moment, Isaac remembered it all. After it was done, he sighed, and sadly smiled.


    ''''I see... I am Isaac Whitelock, and not Simo... It felt so real....'''' After murmuring, he awkwardly touched his face. It was unblemished, and inhumanly handsome. There wasn''t any scarring or disfigurement.


    ''''Simo?'''' Isaac then spoke aloud. The cottage was empty. Simo was gone from the cottage, and gone from the Winter Realm.


    Ding, ding!


    A loud, defeaning ringing echoed in his mind.


    The floating boxes of notifications appeared, shocking Isaac after seeing the context.

    ''''700...'''' Isaac looked at the interface silently. He inhaled loudly, and turned to look out of the window. The snowkes fell from the sky, coloring the ground with mellow white.


    ''''The tournament... Luna... I aming.'''' Isaac turned to the interface, and assigned all the 1600 stat points. As soon as he did, he screamed loudly. Not from a pain, but from strength overflowing!


    The sky above the Winter Realm turned silent as the clouds froze. The strength of Isaac had reached a realm way beyond humans. He was at the doorstep of godhood... or, maybe he had even surpassed some!

 Chapter 600 The End of the First Round (1)

    Chapter 600 The End of the First Round (1)


    The tournament had run smoothly meanwhile. The audience was enjoying their time, and didn''t care that the whole day had passed. The night was nearing, but they weren''t tired in the slightest.


    The same could be said about Four Seasons denizens. The night had arrived, but the lights were still on in every household. The TV sted with music,ing from the arena.


    The fights of the favorite yers'' had gone by. Kalzer fought in the 30th match. After he entered the arena, everyone stood up, and screamed loudly.


    He fought against some famous Guild Master. However, the fight was very one-sided. Kalzer won with ease. After that, it was Xerxus'' fight. The fight ended in record time, 10 seconds was all it took for his opponent to be pixelfied.


    Colossus won his fight, Cecilia won her''s, King us sniped his opponent to oblivion, and Zachary fought against perhaps the weakest yer in the tournament, and won easily. Then, King Michael, Queen Diana, and King Jonathan won their fights.


    There were only four yers left. Wondend, Darkside, Wraith, and Temperament.


    Gallop... A familiar galloping noises echoed in the arena. Heimdall arrived in a luxurious fashion. The golden particles fell from the ground, and paved his way. After reaching the center of the arena, he raised the horn, and shouted.


    ''''Time for the second-tost fight!''''


    The audience erupted in cheers. The name, ''Wraith'', brought a mixed reactions from the spectators. The Gods, and Goddesses stayed silent, the Inhumans were curious about him, and the ones from the Four Seasons were excited.


    ''''There are only four fighters left.'''' Heimdall pointed at the wide screen, and shouted, ''''Time to decide the final match-ups!''''


    The four names started shuffling in the screen. It was as if some child held a cage, full of cicadas, and was shaking it back and forth, wanting to see what happened to them.


    After thirty, very painful, and nervous, seconds, the four names were separated into two sides. The left side showed the match-up for the 48th match, and the right side showed the match-up for the 49th match.


    The Left Side - Wondend Vs. Temperament.


    The Right Side - Wraith Vs. Darkside.


    After the appearance of the match-ups, the audience turned loud. Especially the ones from Four Seasons. They didn''t care much about the 48th match, but thest one was sweet!


    Immediately, the Inte was full of match theories. However, everyone was almost one-sidedly favoring the Darkside. The infamous former leader of the League of Assassins, who was far stronger than Wraith. At least, in their minds.


    In one of the viewing rooms, Hades chuckled maliciously, ''''Haha... is this fate or what?''''


    Zeus, in his own viewing room, sighed, ''''Darkside, legacy carrier of Hades... this must be fate.''''


    God Shiva looked uninterested as he rolled balls around his palm. They looked like miniature gxies.


    Alice, in her waiting room, looked anxiously at the screen, ''''Temperament... he was Darth''s duo. He must be strong...''''


    ''''But... where is dear brother? His match will be in less than half an hour...''''


    At the far corner of the arena, Temperament chuckled as he saw the match-up, ''''Lucky... if I remember correctly, she is a Priestess. Hehe, free victory.''''


    Sitting alone, Darkside looked at the match-up with a frown. However, he didn''t look that threatened. When he lost to Queen Diana, he was merely a legacy contender. Now, he was the Legacy Carrier of Hades, the Lord of the Underworld!


    ''''yer Wondend, and Temperament, please arrive in the vicinity of the doors. The match shall begin shortly!'''' Heimdall shouted, and rode out of the arena. As the doors closed behind him, he hopped off the horse, and turned to shadowy corner.


    A figure stepped out of the shadowy corner. He wore a white mask, and a full-white outfit. His long trench coat pped while the pair ofppish boots stood firmly on the ground. Even though he was merely 160cm tall, his presence made him feel like a giant.


    ''''Thank you.'''' Simo said.


    ''''No problem. I don''t think Hades will oppose this either after putting him against the Darkside.''''


    Simo nodded, and turned around to leave. However, then Heimdall said, ''''Aren''t you worried that your legacy carrier will lose? Darkside is one of the favorites to win this whole thing.''''


    ''''It''s time to quench God''s arrogance...'''' Simo waved his hand, and stepped out of the room.


    ''''Hmm, what did he mean by that?'''' Heimdall frowned. However, then an arrogant-looking yer, Temperament, stepped out of the hallway, and walked to the door. He was confident of his victory.


    Then Heimdall put his lips against the horn, and shouted, ''''The match begins!''''


    The doors opened, and the arena had already changed. This time, it was a volcano. A geyser threw hotva across the air, heating the air dangerously.


    Alice, and Temperament entered the arena. Both started sweating immediately.


    ''''So hot... I will just deal with her in one attack.'''' Temperament snapped his fingers, and a tall wooden cane appeared in his hand. It was a Spellcaster Cane. The globe shone in red. He was a fire Spellcaster!


    ''''Fire Snake!'''' As he pointed the cane towards Alice, an arm-sized snake made of fire flew out of the globe, and slithered across the air like it was flying.


    Alice wiped her sweat, and watched as the fire snake slithered towards her. The corner of her eyes allowed her to see the sea of audience. They looked slightly uninterested in the match-up. Instead, they were more interested in cooling themselves down.


    In Four Seasons, Whitelock''s eximed in shock after the screen disyed Alice.


    ''''Alice?!'''' Sophia screamed in a shock. Rarely did anyone see her in such a shocked state.


    Isabe covered her mouth in a surprise, ''''D-Daughter?''''


    Marvin''s mouth opened wide, ''''Wow...''''


    Mark innocently smiled, ''''Why is big sis there?''''


    In the Snowflower residence, Luna sped her hands in nervousness while watching the TV screen. Her parents were also shocked to see that there were two Whitelockspeting.


    In the arena, the fire snake opened it''s jaw, revealing sharp fangs.


    ''Move... move!'' Alice screamed. However, her nervousness froze her body. She wasn''t afraid of losing. She was afraid of being weak.


    ''I don''t think the Priestess is a weak ss... able to use Divine Magic sounds quite powerful!'' She heard Isaac''s voice in her mind. He told her what he thought about the ss a long time ago, and since then, she tried to prove to him that the ss was indeed powerful, just like he said!


    The beating heart slowly calmed down. She sped her hands as the fire snake lunged towards her.


    ''''Divine Magic... A Force!'''' Alice opened her beautiful eyes, shining like beautiful pearls found on the seafloor. Then, the fire snake exploded, and Temperament was thrown away as if he had been punched by a powerful force.


    Temperament fell through a fire geyser, and under his despairing screams, he turned to ash. As his pixels colored the ash-filled air, a shocked screams echoed from the audience.


    ''''WINNER IS WONDERLAND!''''


    ...


    Author''s Note: 600th chapter! I can already see the finish line looming in the distance. There would be still several months left before story of Isaac Whitelock, and White Online is finished.


    Isaac finally reached a level which seemed a far away goal when I first started this novel. There is still several story lines I haven''t concluded, and I will do them after the tournament arc. After those, the endgame arrives.


    Thanks everyone for supporting.

 Chapter ?601 The End of the First Round (2)

    Chapter ?601 The End of the First Round (2)


    ''How could you let him throw us like that?!'' Silvercloud''s scream echoed.


    Isaac grabbed the two pistols, and slipped them into their holsters. He didn''t reply to the pistols shouting. After snatching the sniper rifle from the bed, he strapped it on his back, and identally grazed his bulging pocket.


    A frown appeared on his forehead as he patted his pocket. There was something unfamiliar there. As he reached into the pocket, he pulled out a mask. It was Simo''s white mask!


    ''''Why do I have this?''''


    The fabric was made of cold-reducing wool. While donning it, it would keep the body warm. It was wholly made of white wool, and there were two eyeholes. It wasn''t as cool as Isaac''s previous white mask. However, it was scary.


    Isaac moved the mask over his head, and slowly slipped his head inside. As he aligned it with his face, his two beautiful silvery eyes peered through the white mask.


    ''''I am now... the White Death.'''' After announcing it, the snowkes stopped falling from the sky. The whole realm froze by the mention of that name.


    ''''Silvernium, may you take me to the Moon City?''''


    ''Yes, boss.''


    Isaac pulled out the Silvernium, and pointed it at the empty air. As he pulled the trigger, a muffled sound resounded in the small room. Then, a thin crack appeared in the air.


    ...


    ''''Haaah... haaah...'''' Alice stood in the middle of the arena, stunned. Her opponent lost like that?


    After hearing Heimdall''s shout, she woke up from her stupor, and heard the deafening shouts from the audience. The screens captured her beautiful, and slightly stunned face.


    The arena started shaking, and the volcano arena disappeared. She sheepishly scratched her cheek, and walked towards the wide-open doors. After she left, Heimdall rode to the arena with the beautiful white horse.


    ''''Time for the final match of the First Round!''''


    The audience quieted down. The Gods, and Goddesses focused their attention on the arena. The room with Artemis, Hecate, and Khione, looked nervous as the screens started shining with two names. Darkside, and Wraith.


    ''''Hmph.'''' Hades snorted loudly while sitting on his high-end chair. His right leg crossed over his left, a dueling cane leaning against the chair, and his wife, Persephone, sitting on his right side, leaning against her slender arm.


    The atmosphere started to turn tense.


    Kalzer, Xerxus, Amour, Noelle, and Cecilia gathered in the audience, and sat in the back row. A few rows down, Queen Diana sat with Darth, and King Jonathan. They all looked nervous, and wondered whether he would show up.


    There were a few snarky-looking yers who said that Wraith must have run away. After all, he had gotten properly humiliated, and was now on Hades'' radar.


    ''''Hey!'''' Cecilia perked up her ears after hearing an energetic voiceing from behind. Alice, donning a beautiful priestess dress, jumped over the seats, and sat next to her.


    ''''Yo, good job.'''' Amour waved his hand towards her while congratting for her victory. Next to him, Kalzer, Xerxus, and Noelle also nodded their heads. In their eyes, Alice was another hidden powerhouse.


    ''''Hehe, thanks.'''' Alice sheepishly scratched her head.


    ''''Anyway, the atmosphere is tense...'''' Amour turned his gaze back to the audience. Everyone was too nervous to breathe, or make any audible sound.


    ''''Yes... I wonder if he ising.'''' Kalzer frowned while crossing his arms.


    ''''He ising.'''' Alice said, while looking at the shining star ceiling, ''''I know he is...''''


    ''''Even if he will...'''' Xerxus turned towards the viewing rooms, that stood several dozen meters away from them, ''''I don''t think he will be able to leave.''''


    Tap, tap. Alice nervously tapped her finger against the armrest. The nervousness lingered in the air as the doors finally swung open. After a small break. Heimdall returned to announce the uing match.


    ''''The 49th match, Wraith Vs. Darkside, begins!''''


    The two doors swung open.


    The audience held their breath.


    Darkside slowly trekked into the arena. In thest match, the arena was the ordinary arena. With the cobblestone ground, and no obstacles, it looked like the Colosseum arena.


    As everyone turned to the other door, they didn''t see any silhouette. Only Darkside was standing in the arena, awkward atmosphere appeared.


    ''''Hah, the coward has run away.'''' Hades snorted, his lips curling up.


    ''''Haah...'''' Zeus frowned while massaging his forehead, ''''I don''t know why I even expected something more.''''


    ''''Hmm...'''' God Shiva turned away from the arena, boredom oozing from his face. However, then he felt a ripple in the air. His eyes widened in shock as he turned to look at the empty air, ''This strength... it''s noting from any God or Goddess... it''s not any legacy figure either. Who is it?!''


    Kalzer, and the rest looked disappointed. Alice''s eyes widened in shock, and confusion, ''''Did something happen to him?''''


    ''''Hmm, what do you mean?'''' Amour turned to her, and asked.


    ''''H-He would never run away like this!''''


    ''''Either way... look at that.'''' Xerxus looked slightly angry. The audience started booing, even reaching the Four Seasons. Everyone watching from their homes was extremely disappointed, and a flurry of insults about Wraith swarmed the Inte.


    Luna, sitting on her bed while surrounded by her parents, Marshall, and Richard, looked confused, ''''Where is he? Are you sure he is alright?''''


    ''''I-I am not sure, honey.''''


    In the Whitelock residence, everyone looked confused. In the servant''s quarters, they were expecting their young master to arrive in his match, and were preparing to cheer for him. They loved Isaac, a lot, because he never treated them like they were lesser beings.


    However, their young master never came. A thought about him running away appeared for the first time in their lives. But, they shook those thoughts away, and believed there was some reason for his absence!


    In the arena, Darkside snorted, and turned away to leave the arena. Heimdall, sitting on the horse''s saddle, sighed with disappointment, and put his lips on the horn, preparing to announce the winner.


    However, at that moment, a silhouette walked through the open doors, and the atmosphere turned serious. A heavy pressure engulfed the arena, causing even the Gods, and Goddesses to fight against the pressure, before getting crushed to the ground.


    The audience didn''t feel the heavy pressure, but, they still sweated like pigs.


    ''''Hmm?'''' Darkside whipped his head around, and saw a figure, donning an all-white outfit with a white mask. He held a long sniper rifle. Then, a strange image arose in his mind. It was like there was a floating white skull, behind the man, screaming Death!

 Chapter 602 The End of the First Round (3)

    Chapter 602 The End of the First Round (3)


    ''''Simo?'''' Zeus frowned, ''''Why is he in there?''''


    ''''It''s not Simo...'''' Next to him, God Shiva said, with a grin slowly stretching across his face, ''''I don''t think... that even Simo has pressure like this.''''


    ''''Who the hell is he then?''''


    ''''His name was... Wraith, right?''''


    ''''What?!'''' Zeus snapped his head in the direction of the white-masked man, ''''Impossible. That strength is in the realm of God. There shouldn''t be any yers at that level! And, he fought against Hades only moments ago, and was MUCH weaker!''''


    ''''I think... he went under enlightenment.'''' God Shiva, stood up from his chair, and walked to the window, ''''This proved it. The yers, are indeed the key to our salvation.''''


    The audience looked confused, as did the denizens of Four Seasons. However, Luna, and Isaac''s parents, and siblings, immediately recognized him. Their eyes brightened up, with smiles appearing on their faces.


    ''''Sir, who may you be?'''' In the arena, Heimdall asked while using the horn. After the question, the audience turned to the white-masked man, waiting for the answer.


    ''''Wraith.'''' Isaac spoke. As his words entered everyone''s ears, the whole arena erupted in shocked exmations.


    Kalzer stood up from his chair, looking shocked, ''''W-What the hell?''''


    ''''T-This... am I feeling it right?'''' Amour looked down at his hand. It was trembling.


    ''''Go, brother!'''' Alice screamed, with flushed cheeks.


    At the far corner of the arena, Underlord was, only moments ago, lying on his bed. However, as soon as the screen showed Isaac, his face paled, ''''W-What the hell?''''


    Heimdall gulped after the mention of the name. He then looked at Darkside, who looked pallid.


    ''''The final match of the first round, begin!'''' He shouted into the horn, and galloped out of the arena as quickly as he could.


    ''''Damn!'''' Darkside pulled out his two chains, the daggers shaped like dragon ws, tied at the ends. As he moved them around him, he screamed, and lunged across the arena.


    As his figure swooshed through the air, he spun the chains around him, and shed them down with a mighty shout, ''''The Arc of Death!''''


    The daggers, cut through the air in an arc shape.


    Isaac, holding his sniper rifle in his right hand, suddenly raised his left hand. A soft white glow appeared in his hand, and then the sharp-looking daggers shed at his palm. Everyone watching thought he would lose his arm.


    However, the soft glow engulfed the des, and broke them apart like ss shattering.


    ''''Death Touch...''''


    ''''?!'''' Darkside''s eyes widened in terror. His two des, along with the chains,y on the ground in pieces. They looked like they were as fragile as ss.


    The audience widened their eyes in shock. They didn''tpletely see what happened. However, luckily, one of therge screens showed it as a rey. Everyone saw how Isaac grabbed the des with his hand, and the soft white glow caused them to shatter.


    After the rey, the audience erupted in cheers. They were still utterly shocked at the strength disyed. However, they still believed it was his ability, which he could only use once or twice.


    ''''Shit!'''' Darkside jumped backward, and while in mid-air, he pulled out his pair of shining dark des. As hended on the ground, he kicked the ground, and explosively moved across the arena. He reached Isaac and shed with the des, hoping for a sessful kill.


    However, Isaac again grabbed the des with his bare hands. The des couldn''t even cut through his flesh. The soft white glow engulfed the des, and broke them apart.


    This time, the audience realized something was wrong.


    ''''W-What the hell?!'''' Hades jumped to his feet, even scaring Persephone.


    The denizens of Four Seasons, realized they were watching something spectacr. The Inte, which had insulted Isaac, quieted down.


    ''''Death Touch...'''' Isaac backhanded across Darkside''s face. As everyone saw his neck twisting ufortably, they suddenly started screaming in shock. His face, the part which was hit by the backhand, started cracking!


    ''''A-Ah?!'''' Darkside saw half of his face melting away, revealing his avatar''s skull. Even the skull had signs of shattering. However, the backhand didn''t entirely reach his skull. His health bar blinked red, and he was immediately under 100 HP, still falling!


    He awkwardly tried to pull out a health potion from his inventory. After managing to retrieve it, he popped open the cork, and looked at Isaac with a fearful visage. Shockingly, the white-masked man didn''t even try to stop him!


    ''Just wait. Once I have healed, I will destroy you!'' Darkside gulped down the healing potion, and half of his face suddenly healed. However, there were still signs of cracks, like it was made from delicate ss.


    After reaching into his belt, hanging from his waist, he pulled out two of his treasured daggers. They were the ones he used to break through the invisible wall in the Spring Realm room!


    As he spun the w-like daggers in his palms, he suddenly leaped, and sent a flurry of quick, and precise shes towards Isaac. However, at that moment, he infused a part of his legacy skill into the daggers. Hades Reaper.


    ''''Aaaargghhh!'''' Darkside screamed as the two daggers suddenly looked like two reapers, ready to reap lives. However, as each sh finished flying, they all missed Isaac by a hair''s length. It was like the white-masked man was ying around with him. Only dodging barely, to give false hope.


    Isaac''s feet danced across the cobblestone ground. It looked mesmerizing. His bored gaze turned away from Darkside. As his gaze went past the shocked audience, he saw Hades, screaming. However, then their gazes locked.


    The atmosphere froze. The screens showed Isaac not caring the slightest about Darkside, instead looking straight at the Lord of the Underworld. The rest of the Gods, and Goddesses looked shocked. Since the dawn of the universe, no one had disrespected Hades like this.


    ''''Don''t y with me!'''' Darkside screamed while swinging the des through gritted teeth, ''''Stop ignoring me!''''


    Isaac pped the daggers away, breaking Darkside''s posture. He awkwardly stumbled backward, almost falling to his back. A shock was clear in his face.


    Isaac suddenly kicked the ground, and appeared in front of Darkside. As he formed a fist with his right hand, he mmed it into Darkside''s torso while using the Death Touch. His avatar shattered like weak ice.


    Everyone, even Gods, and Goddesses, felt utterly shocked as Darkside spat mouthfuls of blue blood before turning into pixels.


    Isaac then position the sniper rifle into a firing position, and turned to aim at Hades. His handsome middle-aged was frozen in shock.


    BANG!


    Isaac pulled the trigger, and the bullet flew through the air. As the bullet drilled through the window, it continued flying, and grazed Hades'' cheek before crashing on the far-end wall.


    The jaws dropped as a result. The screen captured the scene, and everyone saw it. Spectators from Four Seasons, gulped with expressions shock. Did one of them, a Human, actually harm a God?!


    Hades, with a shaky hand, touched his bleeding cheek.


    ''''Hades, should we have the 50th match? You vs. me, what do you say?'''' Isaac lowered the weapon, and smirked, ''''Or, are you afraid of losing to a foolish mortal, in front of billions?''''

 Chapter? 603 The End of the First Round (4)

    Chapter? 603 The End of the First Round (4)


    ''''This fucking mortal!'''' Hades formed a fist with his right hand. As he tightly clenched, his hands turned white. After hearing the mortal''s words, he felt immensely humiliated. Since when had anyone else spoken to him like this?


    Never!


    ''''Don''t, husband!'''' Persephone tried to stop her husband from doing anything foolish. However, he wasn''t listening.


    Hades jumped through the window, his rageful scream echoed far, and wide. The spectators widened their eyes in shock. Was this really happening?


    ''''Fool!'''' Zeus screamed, and stood up. However, he was stopped by Shiva before he could leave thefort of the viewing room.


    ''''Calm down. This is good thing.''''


    ''''How is this good? Hades is ruining the tournament!''''


    ''''No need to worry, just watch.''''


    Isaac''s friends, siblings, parents, and Luna, along with her family members, watched with nervous gazes, and felt like their hearts were about to burst out of anxiousness. Why was he challenging God? What was he trying to prove?


    Hades flew across the air, and crashed through the invisible barrier. It was like he was breaking through a fragile piece of ss. He pulled out his bident, a weapon resembling of a two-pronged pitchfork, and smashed it down at the cobblestone ground.


    As soon as the bident struck the ground, the ground cracked, andva started gushing out of the crevices. The whole Moon City trembled under his mighty strike.


    The spectators had only one thought, that it was impossible to defeat Hades, the Lord of the Underworld!


    However, Isaac wasn''t afraid. As he aimed with his sniper rifle, he pulled the trigger, releasing fast bullets. As soon as the bullets left the barrel, they spun with unstoppable momentum.


    Hades pulled out the bident from the ground, and sliced it through the bullets. The cut-in-half bullets bypassed him, and fell to the pits of theva. The immensely quick bullets, was shed by Hades effortlessly.


    ''''Gulp...'''' The Inhumans gulped in fear. They couldn''t even see the bullets, yet, Hades did, and he even managed to sh through them.


    The Gods, and Goddesses didn''t react. They expected this to happen. A yer couldn''t challenge a God, and win.


    Hades kicked the ground, and leaped over the arena. As soon as he arrived in the air above Isaac, he spun the bident around, and skewered it downward.


    Isaac dodged the bident by jumping backward. However, after the bident stabbed through the ground, moreva gushed out of the crevices, filling the air, and flying straight towards him.


    Hades pulled out the bident, and watched as Isaac effortlessly dodged the flyingva. Then, he saw him kicking the ground, and suddenly lunging toward him.


    Isaac pulled the trigger several times. The bullets flew, and again, was sliced in half by Hades. However, then he pulled out the dagger, shaped like it was made by the spine of some prehistoric dinosaur.


    He shed it through the air, meanwhile the de approached Hades'' neck. However, the Lord of the Underworld effortlessly blocked the strike with the ck shaft of his bident. After the block, he redirected the dagger away, and stabbed the bident towards Isaac.


    Isaac was in an awkward position. His left hand, which held the dagger, was pushed to the side, and his right hand, holding the sniper rifle, was next to his waist. His torso was wide-open, and the bident''s pitchfork-like des, approached his body with scary speed.


    ''''It''s over.'''' Zeus said with a sigh.


    ''''Not exactly...'''' Shiva grinned.


    Isaac''s pupils showed star patterns. As soon as the bident grazed his torso, his body disappeared into a floating star particles. He immediately re-appeared behind Hades, and plunged the dagger into Hades'' unguarded neck.


    Spurt... The golden blood spilled as the dagger got stuck in the neck, and in the muscles.


    A silence fell on the arena.


    Zeus jumped to his feet, a shock reflecting off his face. Next to him, Shiva continued smiling while a few sweatdrops trailed down his face, even he was shocked that a yer was this strong.


    ''''K-Kalzer.'''' Amour turned to the raven-haired man beside him. Both of them looked shocked.


    ''''Yeah...'''' Kalzer wiped his sweat, ''''Why are we even fighting in the tournament if we can''t win...''''


    Alice held her beating chest with an excited expression.


    After the initial shock, cheers echoed in the Four Seasons. Everyone watching, realized they were watching something that would change the world. One of them, a yer, was winning against a God!


    ''''Go Isaac...'''' Luna formed a fist, and clenched it tightly. Her parents looked shocked, Marshall''s jaw dropped, and Richard gulped with disbelief.


    In the arena, Hades coughed out blood, and pulled out the dagger. As soon as he saw the dagger, he grimaced, ''''Creation of Hephaestus, tsk!''''


    Crack... the dagger crumbled into pieces, and littered the ground. The wound on Hades'' neck healed, leaving a lenghty scar.


    As he turned around, his crimson red eyes saw Isaac, leaning against his sniper rifle with a carefree attitude.


    ''''You will regret that.''''


    ''''Maybe, maybe not.'''' Isaac positioned the sniper rifle into a shooting stance, and was about to pull the trigger. However, then Hades swung the bident, and deflected the rifle to the side. The bullet left the barrel, and missed him by a mile.


    Hades raised his bident, and struck it down. In onest second, Isaac managed to ce his sniper rifle as a block. As soon as the two weapons shed, they jumped backward.


    Isaac fired the rifle till the chamber was empty. Hades blocked the bullets, and leaped off the ground. While in mid-air, he spun the bident around, and sent a flurry of ck-colored shes flying across the air.


    As Isaac weaved through the shes, he leaped, and flew straight towards a shocked Hades. He extended his left hand, trying to touch Hades'' face with his fingers. However, the ck-haired man dodged the hand, and smashed his feet across Isaac''s face.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac crashed onto the scorching hot ground, theva pits surrounding him. Then, a sh of darkness appeared in the air, and Hades fell straight down, with his bident pointing down. It was like he was lightning.


    Quickly, Isaac ced his arms below him, and somersaulted forward. The bident struck the ground behind him, destroying it with moreva gushing through the cracks. Hades whipped his head towards the white-haired man, and came across his backhand.


    Isaac backhanded the God, and activated the Death Touch. Immediately, Hades'' face started cracking. However, his regenerative abilities kicked in, and his face healed. But, a several crack shaped scars appeared.

 Chapter 604 The End of the First Round (5)

    Chapter 604 The End of the First Round (5)


    ''''You goddamn mortal!'''' Hades grabbed Isaac by the back of his head, and headbutted him. However, before the headbutt hit him, Isaac leaned forward, and counter-attacked with own headbutt.


    As the two headbutts collided, both foreheads started bleeding.


    ''''Argh!'''' Hades groaned in pain.


    ''''Hehe...'''' Isaac grabbed Hades by his cor, and pulled him closer. He again headbutted the God. This time, Hades coughed out blood.


    The spectators gasped in shock.


    Hades staggered backward while trying to stabilize himself with the help of his bident.


    Isaac pulled the trigger, and released a crimson beam. He used Pulverizer.


    Hades grabbed the bident tightly, and ced it before him. As the crimson beam struck the ck shaft, he screamed, and started moving forward, through the scorching hot beam.


    Soon, Hades reached Isaac, and the sniper rifle, which was still releasing the hot crimson beam. The bident''s shaft was already starting to turn hotter, the color had already started to peel off.


    ''''Underworld''s God!'''' Suddenly, the bident started to emit a ck smoke. It engulfed the crimson beam, and quenched it. As soon as the beam disappeared, he swung the bident, and sliced through Isaac''s coat.


    A spurt of blood gushed out of Isaac''s torso as a lengthy sh wound appeared. He immediately moved backward, trying to make some distance. However, Hades followed, and continued shing. The bident shredded through the air. Coming from the right, up, down, and left.


    Isaac couldn''t keep up with the shes, and soon, his body was riddled with wounds. The Health Bar started blinking in yellow, meaning that he had already lost more than half of his HP.


    The spectators clenched their fists. It was starting to look bad. There was a minority in the viewing rooms, who cheered for Isaac''s victory. They were mostly Artemis, Hecate, and Khione, while several others stayed hidden.


    "You can''t defeat me!'''' Hades smashed his bident down on Isaac. However, he dodged, and the bident sliced through the ground like it was made of butter.


    Isaac''s eyes turned cold as he weaved through the bident shes. A thought arose in his mind. He hadn''t gotten used to his new skills yet, but it was a good time to try.


    As the bident struck the ground before him, Isaac jumped over it, and appeared before the cold-faced Hades. The ck-haired god pulled his bident out of the ground, and stabbed it towards the flying man.


    To everyone''s surprise, Isaac didn''t try to dodge. Instead, he grabbed the bident with his free hand. However, the de instantly cut through his flesh, and leaked a dangerous-looking ck smoke into his wounds.


    As the blood struck his bleeding wound, his health started rapidly decreasing. However, Isaac didn''t care, He activated Death Touch, and tried to destroy the bident. But was unsessful.


    The bident was one of the strongest weapons, created by the Star of the Universe. It was indestructible, and one of the rare weapons that would survive the destruction of the world.


    However, Isaad didn''t rely on his luck, hoping to destroy bident. Instead, he suddenly exhaled, and used Icy Shot. A freezing breath caressed Hades'' face, and caused a thick iceyer to form around his head.


    ''''ARGH!'''' But, it couldn''t keep Hades in bay. With one scream, he destroyed the Icy Shot. However, at that moment, he noticed that Isaac was missing. The arena was empty, except for theva that continued gushing out of the ground.


    As Hades looked around, he noticed a strange scene. Everyone, the spectators, and Gods, all looked towards the starry ceiling. He raised his head, and saw a white-haired man, aiming downward with the sniper rifle.


    ''''Meteor Descent...'''' Isaac murmured while pulling the trigger. The barrel shook, and released a tiny rock, surrounded by a gentle flicker of me. However, the rock suddenly started growing. At first, it was a small pebble, then a hand-sized rock, then a boulder, and finally, a ming meteor!


    ''''Aaaah!'''' The spectators cried out as the meteor fell towards them. However, then the barrier appeared, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief. But, the meteor went straight through the barrier, like it was a rock thrown at window!


    ''''AAAAHHH!''''


    Screams of shock, and fear filled the air. The Inhumans jumped to their feet, and started panicking as the meteor approached. They tried to turn away, and make their way to the exit. However, there were hundreds of thousands of spectators, it was too packed!


    But then, before the Gods, and Goddesses had time to do anything, the meteor steered off course, and flew away from the audience. Instead, it went straight towards Hades!


    ''''Aaaaaah, goddamn mortal!'''' Hades raised his bident, and majestically faced the ming meteor, ''''Begone, fiery destruction!''''


    Hades leaped off the ground, and stabbed the bident into the ming meteor. Long, deep cracks surrounded the meteor, and as if it was made from sand, it crumbled to pieces.


    ''''Hahaha!'''' As the crumbled pieces of meteor fell around him, Hades turned his gaze back to the white-haired man, smugly smiling. Then, his smile froze as he came face-to-face with a ck-colored bullet.


    ''''Death Touch...'''' Isaac hovered high above, his hands glowing ck. Before shooting, he coated his hands in Death Touch, and then fired. He remembered from the skill''s description, that he could coat Death Touch into anything.


    Thus, he tried to apply it into the bullets, and it worked.


    The bullet, d in Death Touch, drilled through Hades'' forehead.


    The Gods, and Goddesses opened their eyes in shock. The Lord of the Underground fell from the sky, like a bird that had lost its wings. He thudded on the ground, looking like he was dead.


    The spectators, who calmed down after the meteor got destroyed, looked at Hades.


    ''''I-Is he dead?''''


    ''''H-He can''t be... he is a Lord of the Underworld!''''


    ''''B-But, t-there is a bullet hole in his forehead.''''


    The yers, spectating, felt a rush of emotions. They were witnessing a history. A yer, actually defeated a God, meaning, that in the future, they could do the same.


    Isaac gentlynded on the ground, and strapped his sniper on his back. After taking ast look on Hades, he turned around, and like valiant warrior, walked towards the wide-open doors.


    However, at that moment, a painful voice echoed.


    ''''W-Wait!'''' Hades awkwardly climbed to his feet, a hot golden liquid trailing down his face, ''''F-Fucking mortal, I haven''t lost yet!''''


    A golden glow appeared from the depths of his heart, and soul. Suddenly, all wounds in Hades'' body, disappeared. Still, the scars remained. After the wounds disappeared, his muscles bulged, and the entire moon started shaking.


    ''''Underworld''s Descent!''''

 Chapter ?605 The End of the First Round (6)

    Chapter ?605 The End of the First Round (6)


    After the shaking, dark clouds gathered above the Moon City. It was the first time ever that there were clouds on the moon.


    The pedestrians, walking in the streets, watched with fascination as the thunderstorm raged high above. They already felt the earthquakes, and thought that there were two mighty gods fighting in the arena.


    ''''Haaah...'''' Hades had his hands raised, pointing towards the dark clouds, ''''Whooo... whooo...''''


    As he inhaled, and exhaled, he suddenly formed fists, and screamed, ''''Underworld''s Impurity!''''


    Crackle... as a quiet crackle echoed, suddenly dark lightning flew out of the clouds, and struck Isaac.


    ''''?!'''' Isaac was sent flying away, across the arena, until he crashed into the rock-made wall. Over his left eye, a lightning mark appeared, which started burning like acid.


    ''''What is this?'''' He thought aloud while trying to touch the lightning mark. However, it stings like crazy. His Health Bar turned ck, which was the first time it happened. Before, it only showed three colors, green, yellow, and red.


    [You Have Been Corrupted By Godly Energy!]


    [Half-Godly Legacy Can''t Defend Against It!]


    ''''That doesn''t sound good...''''


    ''''Raaaah!'''' Hades jumped across the air, and stretched his hand towards the sky. The ck-shafted bident appeared in his hand, then he started falling, and threw it towards Isaac.


    Isaac tilted his head as the bident grazed past his cheek, and stabbed through the wall. Then, the bident returned to Hades'' hand as hended on the ground, then he stabbed with it, trying to impale Isaac like amon insect.


    As the bident shredded through the air, Isaac ced the rifle as a block, and managed to block the first strike. However, then Hades swept his legs from under him, causing him to fall on his back. Then the bident appeared before him, the two pitchfork-like des fell straight towards his face.


    Isaac rolled around toward the left, barely dodging the bident. He immediately climbed to his feet, and fired the rifle, but the bullets were deflected by Hades'' masterful shes.


    ''''HA!'''' Hades screamed, and jumped into the air. While in mid-air, he ced the bident into a thrusting stance. Then, the shaft started smoking as he started stabbing, ''''Underworld Rain!''''


    In the eyes of the spectators, it looked like a heavy rain appeared in the arena. They couldn''t even see the bident as it crashed on the ground like a downpour.


    Isaac desperately tried to weave through the thousands of instantanous bident thrusts. However, his limit was soon reached as long, bloody cuts appeared on his body.


    ''Think!'' Isaac screamed as he looked above. The bident thrusts again rained down, and he didn''t think he could keep dodging much longer, ''The Marksman of Space is still on cooldown, leaving me with few options to use in this situation.''


    ''Let''s just try my luck.'' Isaac moved his body to the left, and barely managed to dodge a dozen bident thrusts. Each, if hit correctly, had enough strength to kill him.


    ''''White Storm!'''' As his shout entered everyone''s ears, a dangerous snowstorm appeared in the arena, and broke the visibility. Hades stopped attacking, and frowned while being in the middle of the snowstorm. The cold didn''t bother him, but the strong winds did.


    With his nimble fingers, he started spinning the bident around, trying to push the snowstorm away. However, then he felt a presence nearing his back. He whipped his head around, and saw Isaac''s silhouette, hiding in the snowstorm while aiming.


    ''''Shit!'''' He immediately swung the bident towards him. However, Isaac had already fired a muffled-sounding bullet.


    ''Seismic-Wave...''


    The shockwave struck the bident, sending a wave of recoiling impact that couldn''t be blocked in mid-air. Hades gritted his teeth, and was sent flying. He crashed through the arena''s walls, and appeared outside of the arena.


    As he crashed on the ground, he rolled backward for another hundred meters before crashing into another building. This time, the concrete wall painfully stopped his momentum.


    The arena turned loud as everyone started whispering. Did this mean Hades lost? He was basically out of bounds.


    However, then they saw Isaac running in the arena before kicking the ground, and jumping over the arena. Under shocked expressions of Gods, and Goddesses, he left the arena, and used Multi-Eyes.


    He could see Hades, awkwardly climbing to his feet.


    ''Let''s see does this work.'' Isaac aimed, and pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    Hades turned his head towards the sky, and saw a flying bullet. He immediately grabbed the bident from the ground, and put it in the way. However, when the bullet was about to touch the bident, it went straight through, like it wasn''t real.


    ''''W-Wha--'''' He paused once the bullet drilled through his neck, ''What the hell is this bullet!''


    The bullet left behind a gaping hole in his throat.


    ''''Ugh... ugh...'''' As Hades coughed out blood, he heard another loud bang. Isaac fired a bullet, coated with Death Touch.


    He awkwardly moved out of the way. As the bullet, d in death touch, touched the building, it vaporized.


    Hades''s wound in his neck slowly healed. He tightened his grip on the bident as he blocked a shower of bullets that flew from Isaac. However, one of the bullets drilled through his thigh.


    ''''Shit!''''


    Isaded on the ground, and pulled out Silvercloud. With a tight grip, he emptied the magazine quickly while running towards the ck-haired god.


    Hades weaved through the bullets, and used bident to block the ones he couldn''t dodge. Then, he shed with Isaac. Both of them swung their weapons, and as they shed, they used their free hands to trade punches.


    Isaac, and Hades staggered backward, both having identical-looking punched marks on their cheeks. They stepped forth, and again swung their weapons. As the bident struck the sniper rifle, Hades punched with a left cross. However, Isaac blocked it with his right forearm.


    They shared nzes. Hades'' crimson eyes radiated a killing intent, while Isaac''s silvery eyes had a cold calmness. As they stood silently, they felt hundreds of gazes fixated on their back.


    The Gods, and Goddesses appeared on top of the arena, watching the match with great interest. The Inhumans, and everyone watching from Four Seasons, were in the dark. They couldn''t see the match.

 Chapter 606 The End of the First Round (7)

    Chapter 606 The End of the First Round (7)


    ''This is so humiliating.'' Hades thought while feeling the sharp gazes on his face, ''My reputation, which took millenniums to build, gone in one night. All because of... him!''


    Isaac saw the look in his eyes. He only smirked, and smashed his fist into Hades'' face. The delicate ''smack'' resounded in the streets.


    The Inhumans, who weren''t watching in the arena for the matches, were frightened as suddenly two people appeared, and started trading punches. Among them, Mona, and Iah were shocked to see Isaac fighting against a person, who seemed like a god.


    They were on their way to the arena while holding hands, but then they saw the scene.


    ''''S-Shit...'''' Hades held his bleeding nose, and turned to Isaac with crimson eyes glowing, ''''You will regret that.''''


    ''''As if!'''' Isaac kicked the ground, and tackled Hades through a three-story building''s wall. They fell on the room, which resembled a lot of kitchens. The building was empty. The family, who lived here, was in the arena currently.


    Hades grabbed Isaac by his cor, and threw him through the ceiling. Isaac continued flying through at least five ceilings. From the outside, the building seemed like it only had three floors, but, like every other building, it was way bigger on the inside.


    Isaac fell back down, and pulled the trigger. This time, he used Icy Shot, and as the bullet made of icended on Hades'' arm, it became frozen.


    Hades smashed his arm into the ground, and broke the ice. Then, he was hit in the head by a falling Isaac, and crashed head-first onto the floorboard.


    Isaac pulled him off by his ruff, and tossed him across the building. Hades crashed through the wall, andnded in the dimly-lit alleyway butt-first. With the help of the nearby building''s brick wall, he stood up, but then a fist again struck him in the cheek, causing his head to smash against the brick.


    ''''Fuck off!'''' Hades backhanded Isaac across his face, forcing him to stagger backward. Then, he tackled the white-haired man, and once both of them were on the ground, he mounted Isaac, and started smashing his fists down.


    Their previous fighting was delicate, and every move was calcted. However, now they were like barbarians, throwing away all discretion and just started throwing punches, and acted like hooligans.


    Isaac ced his arms as a block, but the punchesing from the Gods quickly diminished his remaining HP. The corruption effect was finally starting to take effect. His movements became sluggish, and his vision blurry.


    ''''Die, die, die!'''' Hades shouted while punching like a mad man. The smack, smack, smack, smack, sound continued echoing. It even reached the ears of the Inhumans, waiting in the arena.


    ''''Take off that mask!'''' Hades reached towards the white-mask, donned by Isaac. However, he allow that, and dodged the hand, then Isaac smashed his elbow into Hades'' temple.


    ''''Urfgh!'''' Hades fell to the ground, and rubbed his head in pain. Isaac staggered to his feet, and carefully touched his mask. Then, he turned around, trying to find his weapons. However, he could barely see one step in front of him. The vision was incredibly poor.


    It looked like all the buildings were made of mist, and were feeble enough to be pushed away by a wind breeze.


    Hades climbed to his feet, and saw Isaac''s poor condition. His lips curled into a smile, and he discreetly moved closer to Isaac, and when close enough, he punched.


    However, against all his belief, Isaac ced his arm perfectly as a block. Then, the silver-eyed man kicked his shinbone, making him lose his footing.


    As Hades crashed on the ground back-first, Isaac removed the mask, and blinked with narrowed eyes. He couldn''t see anything, everything was now dark. He dropped the mask, making it fall on the hard pavement.


    ''''Tsk.'''' Hades rubbed his painful back as he stood up. Seeing Isaac looking around in confusion, he realized that his corruption had reached his eyes. He was now blind.


    ''''Not so tough anymore, are you!'''' Hades grabbed him by his hair, and smashed him head-first on the pavement. The ground below cracked. He again lifted Isaac''s head by his hair, and looked at his bloodied face. Then, he again smashed it on the pavement.


    Isaac, couldn''t see anything, but he could hear. His health bar beeped, signaling that it had only 1 HP left. A discreet smile appeared on his face as his vision returned like a shining beacon.


    Hades pulled him back by his hair, and expected to see pure white eyes. Instead, he saw beautiful silvery eyes, gazing back at him. His eyes widened in shock as Isaac''s eyes shone in crimson, and a beam flew straight at him.


    The crimson beam sted through Hades'' head, leaving nothing but burnt skin behind.


    Hades staggered backward while his head was slowly regenerating. Now, he was blind after his whole head exploded.


    Isaac staggered to him, barely able to stand. After reaching the silent Hades, he ced his hand on his torso, and whispered, ''''Destruction...''''


    A bright light engulfed Hades'' figure, and then, it exploded!


    Hades'' body parts flew across the alleyway while the walls were painted in golden. However, soon all the body parts started connecting. It was like he just couldn''t die!


    ''''Shit...'''' Isaac staggered to the head, which happened to regenerative before anything else. He could see Hades'' frightened eyes. He felt the fear of death.


    ''''I-I am god... y-you can''t kill me.''''


    Isaac grabbed the head by his hair, and whispered, ''''We''ll see about that...''''


    Hades'' eyes widened in shock. However, before Isaac could do anything, a hand appeared, andstopped him.


    Isaac turned to the person, and saw a blue-skinned person, looking at him with a silly grin.


    ''''This is enough.''''


    ''''S-Shiva-sama?'''' Hades said with a shock, then a look of relief, and happiness appeared.


    Shiva coldly looked at Hades, and said, ''''I, along with others, decided that you, Hades, should stay in the Underworld to learn some manners, and respect.''''


    ''''E-Eh?''''


    ''''You lost to a yer. Which is the first time that happened.'''' Shiva said, and grabbed Hades'' head. As he looked dead straight in the eyes, he said, ''''Return to the Underworld. You may only leave when I allow you to leave.''''


    Hades hatefully looked at Isaac.


    ''''Look at me, and not at him!'''' Shiva''s words shook the moon.


    ''''I-I am sorry!'''' Hades snapped his gaze back to the rageful Shiva, and fearfully said, ''''Y-Yes, I will return to the Underworld.''''


    ''''Good... now, go.'''' Shiva took a tight grip on Hades'' hair, and tossed him away, far into the distance.

 Chapter ?607 The Handicap.

    Chapter ?607 The Handicap.


    ''''Well then.'''' Shiva turned to the white-haired man, barely conscious, ''''I see, you have been corrupted.''''


    Isaac rubbed his eyes, and had difficulty seeing in front. His White Death had ended, and the health bar showed a pathetic 1 HP.


    However, then Shiva tapped his forehead, and all the corruption left him through his ears via ck smoke. His vision cleared.


    ''''Wraith, right.'''' Shiva looked around the alleyway, and found a seat to sit on. It wasn''t a proper seat, but instead a small garbage bin.


    ''''Yes, and you are...?'''' Isaac hadn''t seen anyone with blue skin before. He also heard Hades calling him by a very respectful term, ''''Shiva-sama''''. Thus, he had to be at least God.


    ''''Shiva.'''' He replied with a name Isaac already knew. However, he continued with another sentence, ''''I am a God of Destruction''''


    ''I see, I can tell he is incredibly power. But, what does he want with me?''


    Shiva whipped his head towards the ceiling, ''''We don''t have much time. But, I came to tell you that the Gods, and Goddesses wouldn''t want you to continue in this tournament?''''


    ''''Why?''''


    ''''Because you are currently too strong. Hah, I don''t really know how you became so strong, but you have to promise one thing if you want to still participate in the tournament. You want to fight that... Underlord, right?''''


    Isaac''s face turned serious as he nodded, ''''Yes.''''


    ''''Good, then, you need to fight with handicap.''''


    ''''Handicap?'''' Isaac frowned, ''''Even against Underlord?''''


    ''''Haha, no.'''' Shiva shook his head with an amused smile, ''''Even though you are strong... very strong for a human--Underlord is the same, and defeating him is even harder than Hades.''''


    ''''Alright, what kind of handicap are you talking about?''''


    ''''You may not use your weapons.''''


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac clicked his tongue while shaking his head, ''''You should know how hard it is to kill a yer without ss specific weapons.''''


    ''''I know.'''' Shiva smiled with a chuckle, ''''I am not confident that you will even reach the final, but you have to do that. Otherwise, I can''t convince others.''''


    Isaac looked at the pistols, dangling from his hip, and sighed, ''''Fine, but if I encounter an Underlord, no matter in which round, I can use them, right?''''


    ''''Yes.''''


    ''''Alright.'''' Isaac threw the pistol, the dagger, and the Mosin-Nagant into his inventory.


    ''''Well then.'''' Shiva stood up, and patted the dust off his pants, ''''The arena suffered more damage than anticipated. Even the screens cracked, so the second round won''t happen today, instead tomorrow.''''


    Isaac nodded, and watched as Shiva jumped over the building, and disappeared.


    ''''Fighting without any weapons... No, he didn''t say that I wasn''t allowed to use my weapons... Hmm, maybe I can find a loophole, and use something else. Not any firearms, but maybe something that will assist me...''''


    Isaac walked through the broken wall, and went straight to the kitchen. He picked up a cup while turning on the faucet. As he filled the cup with the water, he looked around at the damage that the building had suffered.


    After drinking the water, he left the building, and started running toward the arena. As he got closer, he could see the Inhumans already fixing the broken statue, and crater. He couldn''t see anyone else when he entered the arena.


    When he reached his temporary room, he saw the TV screen showing a show, with music sting, and beautiful women, and handsome men dancing. They were having an ending show.


    After it was over, the Inhumans dispersed from the arena with good feelings, even though the day of the tournament ended quicker than expected.


    Isaac sat on his bed, leaning against the wall while holding an ancient pocket watch in his right hand. It was something he managed to acquire when he was on the hunt for serial killer. The pocket watch was nothing but decoration, but he liked staring at it when he was in deep thought.


    Ding, click, ding, click, as Isaac opened, and closed the pocket watch, he frowned, and opened the interface. It was packed with stuff, he deemed useless. However, there was an item from real-life, which he kept in his inventory.


    He pulled out a wooden bo-staff. Its color had peeled off from Isaac''s daily usage. However, it was durable. Not as durable as some legendary, and mythical weapons the yers use these days. However, as long as he wouldn''t foolishly defend, it could be very useful.


    ''''This will do.'''' Isaac closed the pocket watch, and tugged it into his front pocket. Then, he noticed the jacket was slowly repairing itself. Surprisingly, it took half an hour for the jacket to repair itself after Hades'' attack.


    After it was repaired, Isaac stood up, and swung the bo-staff around him. As the wind whistled as a result of powerful swings, he tested stabbing, and then shing. All his attacks were miles stronger than before.


    Knock, knock... someone banged a fist against his door. Isaac frowned, and opened the door while hiding the bo-staff behind the door. After opening, he saw a panting Alice, whose face immediately beamed after seeing him. Then, she lunged forward, and hugged him.


    ''''You are safe!''''


    ''''Ah, yes.'''' Isaac, while being hugged by Alice, pushed the door shut with the bo-staff.


    Alice stopped hugging, and said, ''''Father, and mother contacted me, asking if you are alright.''''


    ''''You can tell that I am alright.'''' Isaac sat on the bed, then asked, ''''What about Luna... how is she?''''


    ''''About that...'''' Alice sat next to him, and said, with a slightly fearful tone, ''''She... was in a lot of pain. Apparently, the damage she suffered here, was transferred to real-life.''''


    ''''What?!'''' Isaac''s eyes had a tint of red as he shouted, ''''How is that possible? Is she alright?''''


    ''''She is fine now... but, if Underlord has that kind of power... he could kill any of us, for real.''''


    Isaac grabbed her hand, and clenched it tightly, ''''Everything will be alright. But, if you happen to encounter him, please, log off.''''


    Alice showed a strained smile, and nodded. However, she didn''t want to give up like this. It was her time to show what she was capable of doing. Who knows, if she does fine, some of the Gods or Goddesses might have interest in her, and offer a legacy.

 Chapter 608 The Mission Beyond The Planet.

    Chapter 608 The Mission Beyond The.


    Isabe sat on a couch, with an ufortable expression. The TV had turned to National TV, which was discussing thest match between Wraith, and Hades.


    The whole inte was bustling with activity. There were many shocked posts, who couldn''t believe that a yer managed to fight against a God. Then, there was another side, who imed Wraith action was terrorism.


    The Gods were on their side. Attacking one of them should be deemed the highest act of criminality.


    The National TV talked about the two sides, and most of them were in neutral standby. However, that just made Isabe angrier. She closed the TV, and turned to her husband, Maxwell, who was sitting reading a newspaper.


    Tap, tap, then a rapid footsteps came from the upstairs. They turned to look at the set of stairs. From there, Alice appeared with a quiet smile.


    ''''Alice!'''' Isabe stood up with a pleasant expression. As she hugged her daughter, she asked, ''''Why did you not tell that you were participating?''''


    ''''I didn''t have time to do.'''' Alice shrugged, and sat next to Sophia, who asked questions about the tournament. She responded calmly, and softly.


    ''''Have you heard about Isaac?'''' Maxwell asked.


    ''''I met him.'''' Alice said, and everyone asked with the same voice, ''''How is he?''''


    ''''He... won.'''' She said with a face of disbelief. Everyone else had soon the same face. Their son, won against a God?


    ''''And he is alright. He is currently in the arena, preparing for tomorrow...'''' Alice stood up, and stretched before saying, ''''I should too...''''


    ''''Good luck, daughter.'''' Isabe patted her head, and gave one final hug, ''''Be careful of that Underlord, he is dangerous. I heard what happened with Luna, and even the thought of the same happening to you scares me to no end.''''


    ''''I will be careful.'''' Alice said with a small smile, and ran back to the upstairs.


    ...


    ''Underlord... Underlord... you are stronger... stronger... stronger...''


    ''''I know, I know, shut up!'''' Underlord tried to remove the voice using his reality warping powers. However, to no avail. He tugged his hair, and smashed his fist into the door of the wardrobe. Crack. After breaking the wardrobe, he turned to a small square-shaped window.


    It showed his dead-looking eyes, and grayish pale skin. His handsome, and gentle self was all gone. The Inte was raining insults in his direction. All his follower counts on several social media tforms had halved.


    However, as a result, he received hundreds of mentally-ill fans, who loved what he did to the ck-haired girl. They loved his ruthlessness, and after seeing that he could harm yers inside the game, they would want him to do the same to their enemies.


    Even the thought of their enemies crying in pain aroused them.


    Underlord ced his hand on the mirror¡ªthe reflection inverted his movements. As he sent a string of the red energy onto the mirror, the reflection started warping. Then, it looked like Underlord''s reflection was being sucked out of the mirror.


    ''''Rise... my doppleg?nger.'''' Underlord watched as a person,pletely identical to him, appeared before him, ''''Who are you?''''


    ''''Who am I? Silly, I am you.'''' The Doppelg?nger said with a chilly grin.


    ''''Say the name.'''' Underlord ordered.


    ''''Underlord.'''' The Doppelg?nger responded.


    ''''Good, what is our goal?''''


    ''''Kill everyone.'''' The Doppelg?nger said with almost no emotion.


    ''''Why are we killing everyone?''''


    ''''Uhh...'''' The Doppelg?nger turned silent. He didn''t have an answer to that.


    ''I see, Erebus'' influence doesn''t reach my doppelg?nger... good.'' Underlord''s lips curled into a hideous smile.


    ''''Doppelg?nger, stay here, and participate in the next round.''''


    ''''Alright, where are you going?''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Underlord didn''t expect the doppelg?nger to be able to ask questions, ''''I will fetch thest ingredients for Dream Potion. I will break the chains, and then I will return. Till then, act like me, and kill whoever you could.''''


    ''''Alright.'''' The doppelg?nger nodded.


    Underlord looked at the thin air, and said coldly, ''''Erebus.''''


    A dark portal appeared, and swallowed him whole. The room turned quiet, leaving only the doppelg?nger.


    The doppelg?nger turned to the mirror. However, there wasn''t any reflection of him. As he touched the mirror, his hand got sucked inside. After half of his arm, till the elbow, was inside the mirror, he pulled it back, and with fascination, saw the mirror''s surface reflecting off his skin.


    ''''How fascinating...''''


    ...


    In a Moon City Pce, Shiva stood in front of a window, watching at the tall wall that blocked the sight to the Moon City. Then, the door to his room opened, revealing Zeus, Odin, and Loki.


    ''''Hihihihi, Zeus, to think that your brother lost.'''' Loki licked his lips with his unusually long tongue, ''''Y''know, I met Wraith long time ago, when he was still a weakling. To think, he would beat one of us, kekekeke!''''


    ''''Please, be quiet.'''' Zeus asked with a twitching eyebrow.


    ''''Loki.'''' Odin snapped. He didn''te here to ridicule others. They had to discuss something serious.


    Loki rolled his eyes, and backed off with raised arms. He did that yfully as well.


    ''''Shiva.'''' Odin stopped beside Shiva, and said, ''''I might be in need of your assistance.''''


    ''''What is it?'''' Shiva asked while looking at the far-away Gods, and Goddesses, mingling with each other.


    ''''It''s about my son, Thor...'''' Odin folded his arms behind his back, and uttered the words, ''''He was, most likely, killed or kidnapped by the Demons.''''


    ''''W-What?!'''' Zeus'' eyes widened in a shock. He, and Thor, were both Gods of Thunder. They had semi-rivalry, and often fought, trying to test each other''s limit. He knew very well how strong Thor was, and to think he lost...


    ''''That''s very unfortunate.'''' Shiva turned to look at him, and asked, ''''You want me to go look for his corpse, or if he is still alive?''''


    ''''Of course, asking something mundane like that from you is quite rude. But, I still have to. For my son, I have to. I tried to think of other ways to find out, but they all ended up getting discovered by demons.''''


    Shiva nodded with understanding, ''''I understand, but if I step out of our system, Demon Kings will attack me instantly. I am able to fight against one, but not two or three.''''


    Odin sighed, ''''So... it''s really impossible?''''


    ''''For Gods, and Goddesses, yes. However, that white-haired brat, made me realize something. They had grown beautifully, way more than I could have ever anticipated. Let''s send five of our yers, as scouts. They wouldn''t be found easily.''''


    ''''yers?!'''' Odin eximed. Zeus, and Loki also looked shocked. It sounded ridiculous!


    ''''Yes.''''


    ''''Ahem...'''' Odin cleared his throat, and after thinking further, it didn''t sound like a bad idea. If the yers got caught, they could log off, or in the worst case, they would die, and lose their legacies. But, they would still be alive.


    ''''Who are you nning to send?'''' Zeus asked, ''''I don''t think many would ept such a suicidal mission.''''


    Shiva smiled, and said, ''''They will ept. The five yers are, Kalzer, Amour, Xerxus, Sorcerer, and... Wraith.''''

 Chapter ?609 Protestors Good Bye.

    Chapter ?609 Protestors Good Bye.


    Beneath the arena, Inhumans were hard at work as they used their tools, to fix the massive machine, located right underneath the cobblestone arena. It was the machine that allowed them to transport certain ces, from different realms, here.


    However, it was currently broken. The machine, had a lengthy crack, which also revealed the machinations inside.


    Then, the door to the secret room opened, revealing Heimdall in his usual god setup, ''''What is the problem?''''


    ''''S-Sir, the machine, Hades'' attacks greatly harmed the machine.'''' The main engineer, named Kul''on, said while gazing at the vast rock formation. It was the cobblestone arena, and currently, it was filled with cracks withva swimming around the crevices.


    ''''Can it be fixed?'''' Heimdall asked.


    ''''For tomorrow? Never.'''' Kul''on said, shaking his head.


    ''''Damn it.'''' Heimdall scratched his dreadlocks, and said, ''''Fix it as soon as possible. We will skip tomorrow''s fights.''''


    ''''Yes sir, we will do our best!''''


    ''''You better. Gods, and Goddesses aren''t a patient bunch.'''' Heimdall said, and left the secret room. As he trekked down the dark hallway, moving uphill towards the surface, he murmured, ''''I think we need to start thest phase of the festival earlier... it will keep everyone busy for tomorrow.''''


    ...


    The screens, in both Moon City, and Four Seasons, showed a message of dy in the tournament. However, before the outrage started, thousands of stone portals descended from the heavens, andnded on each Continent.


    The portals led straight to Moon City. Thus, it gave everyone a passage to this fabulous city. It was orchestrated by Gods, and Goddesses. They didn''t treat Arthur''s stunt as treason. Instead, their prejudice towards weak humans had lessened, after the previous incident that happened hours ago.


    Thus, the portals continued glowing as humans continued stepping into them. Once they arrived in Moon City, they noticed the starry sky stretching far away. They entered a bright, and bustling festival.


    The whole city was soon filled with a loud, and festive atmosphere. At first, the humans peered towards the distance, where the beautiful arena stood proudly. There, the strongest yers, had gathered.


    Isaac leaned against the window, holding the bo-staff in his left hand. He watched as the night festival created an amazing atmosphere. It didn''t matter that it was gettingte, the whole festival would easilyst the whole night.


    Knock, knock... a loud knocks echoed from the door. Isaac stretched the bo-staff toward the doorhandle, and opened the door. Kalzer stood behind the door, hand raised, and fist formed. He was about a knock but then door opened suddenly. He didn''t even hear footsteps.


    ''''You are alright, it seems.'''' Kalzer said as he leaned against the door, ''''You won?''''


    ''''Maybe.'''' Isaac rested the bo-staff against his shoulder, and walked to the door. As he peeked outside, he saw Xerxus, and Amour eavesdropping.


    ''''Y-Yo!'''' Amour waved with a yful expression.


    ''''What are you guys doing here?'''' Isaac asked as he entered his room, and sat on the bed. The three men entered his room, and said, ''''Let''s go have some fun. We wouldn''t be able to sleep anyway with all this noise.''''


    ''''We can always log out.'''' Isaac chuckled, but was fine with the idea, ''''But, sure.''''


    Xerxus hopped to the window, and whistled, ''''Whoo, I don''t understand how everyone can fit into the streets.''''


    ''''Let''s go find out.'''' Amour left the room, followed by the others. They soon left the arena, and entered the bustling streets. They could feel the festive atmosphere as everyone yed some kind of game from roadside stalls, and ate fancy foods.


    Isaac, along with other young men, sat on a roadside bench while watching the bustling atmosphere.


    However, at that moment, he saw protestors, wearing strange ghoul-like masks, raising their signs high.


    [Wraith, Not Hero, But Criminal!]


    [Stop Wraith''s Terrorism!]


    ''''What the fuck is this?'''' Amour frowned.


    ''''Well, that might be the reason.'''' Xerxus snorted while pointing at the sign. It showed Hades'' and Wraith''s images. They drew like Hades, the savior of mankind, and Wraith, a demon who seeks to destroy them.


    Their protest caused ire among the Inhumans. They were shoved to the side as the protestors marched forward, shouting loudly, and clearly, ''''Wraith,e out, and answer to your crimes!''''


    Isaac slowly stood up, holding the bo-staff firmly in his hand.


    ''''Isaac?'''' Kalzer, and the rest frowned as he suddenly stood up. They hoped he wasn''t doing anything foolish.


    ''''I am right here.'''' Isaac leaned against the bo-staff, and said with a loud voice. At first, not many of the protestors cared, thinking someone greedy for fame was shouting. However, one of them checked, and widened his eyes in terror. He immediately shouted, and this time everyone turned to him, and Isaac.


    After seeing Isaac, their eyes showed clear shock. They clearly didn''t expect him toe out. However, after getting rid of the initial shock, they raised their sighs high, and pointed at him, ''''Demon is here! Someone arrest him!''''


    Isaac looked at them with an arched brow. He looked amused as he chuckled.


    His chuckle echoed in the street, silencing the protestors. They looked confused. Why was heughing?


    ''''Ah, I am sorry.'''' Isaac waved his hand innocently, and with bo-staff, pointed at one of the protestors, wearing Evelyn''s fan shirt, ''''At first, I was surprised to see any protestors. However, I am not surprised anymore after seeing the shirt...''''


    ''''What do you mean?''''


    ''''Well, y''see, I happened to hear an interesting conversation when I was sitting with my friends.'''' Isaac chuckled before continuing, ''''Evelyn, was arrested for sexual harassment, and attempted murder, wasn''t she?''''


    Several protestors gritted their teeth in anguish.


    ''''I understand, if you try to steer the public''s interest away from that, so your beloved idol doesn''t get more shat on.''''


    ''''No, we are here because we really think you are Demon, sent us here to destroy us!'''' As the leading protestor shouted, he turned to look at his fellow protestors. Several of them turned their gazes away, slightly embarrassed.


    Isaac tapped the bo-staff against the pavement, while moving his head left, and right, ''''Doesn''t look like that. I forgive you, trying to defame me. However, I am not as kind as Moon Guards.''''


    ''''Moon Guards?'''' The protestors frowned. Then, dozens of well-armed guards marched through the bustling streets. A beautiful moon emblem adorned their chests.


    The Moon Guards surrounded the protestors, ''''Drop your weapons, this instant!''''


    ''''B-But, these are just normal signs!''''


    ''''DROP THE WEAPONS, RIGHT NOW!'''' The Moon Guards unsheathed their swords, frightening the protestors. They dropped their signs, and with quivering legs, they raised their arms in surrender.


    ''''And they really don''t like protestors.'''' Isaac sighed, and sat back down.

 Chapter 610 Kalzers Desire.

    Chapter 610 Kalzer''s Desire.


    ''''Protestors... at this day, and age.'''' Amourughed as they left that specific street. There had already been rumors floating about them being there, and Kalzer''s fan boys, and girls were more than eager to rush there.


    ''''Hmm, I didn''t expect them to react this way.'''' Isaac said with slight surprise. However, he didn''t regret defeating Hades. Underlord was next, and his fate would be much worse.


    ''''They are the minority.'''' Kalzer said, ''''There are always brain dead fools like him. There is nothing you can do about that. Even when I had my first interview, I got hate from that minority for not revealing my face.''''


    ''''We shouldn''t care about them.'''' Xerxus said as he suddenly ran to the nearby roadside stall. He left a pile of white coins behind as he held four hotdogs in his hands, ''''There.''''


    They took the hotdogs, and took tiny bites. As soon as the vors reached their throats, they eximed, with pleasantly surprised expressions.


    ''''Anyway, I heard the tournament would continue the day after tomorrow.'''' Kalzer said while munching on the hotdog, ''''But, I guess it doesn''t matter. Isaac is going to win this.''''


    Xerxus, and Amour rolled their eyes, but didn''t argue against it. They didn''t expect to have any chances to win.


    ''''I am not too sure about that...'''' Isaac said, ''''I have a handicap. I can''t use my weapons.''''


    ''''Oh.'''' Kalzer''s right brow arched, and he sighed, ''''I don''t know, but that makes me angry. It makes us feel weak.''''


    ''''Even against Underlord?'''' Amour clicked his tongue, ''''I don''t underestimate you, but Underlord is the only one who might have a chance of winning against you.''''


    ''''Ah, I can use weapons against him.'''' Isaac said after finishing the hotdog, ''''Even Gods agree that Underlord is dangerously strong.''''


    Kalzer pulled out his ck-shafted spear, and looked at his reflection in the de. He hadn''t felt this weak in a long time. He, who was hailed as the strongest yer, couldn''t believe that he could win against another yer.


    He felt embarrassed at his own weakness, ''Is there... really no way to win?''


    His feet slowly halted, and he stopped walking.


    ''''Kalzer?'''' Amour turned around, and saw Kalzer deep in his thoughts, ''''Everything alright?''''


    Isaac, and Xerxus turned to Xerxus. They saw him raise his head, showing a weak smile.


    ''''I am sorry, but I forgot that I have a meeting scheduled with a certain someone.'''' Kalzer tugged the spear into the inventory, turned around, and walked away into the distance.


    ''''Is he alright?'''' Isaac asked.


    ''''Not sure...'''' Amour frowned, ''''I haven''t seen Kalzer like this, in a long time. But... I have a feeling that once he returns, he will be stronger than ever before...''''


    ...


    As the night went by, behind the wall, in the Gods, and Goddesses quarters, they had their own festival. It was mostly mingling with other fellow Deities.


    Then, at Odin''s table, a servant walked next to the Supreme God, and whispered.


    ''''Alright, take him to my office.'''' Odin stood up after he spoke to the servant.


    ''''Father, where are you going?'''' Loki asked while stuffing tes of food into his mouth.


    ''''To meet a certain someone.'''' Odin returned to the grand pce, went straight to the fourth floor, then entered his office. After he sat behind his desk, the door opened, revealing the servant, and Kalzer.


    ''''You may go.'''' Odin said to the servant. After the door closed, only he, and Kalzer were left, ''''What do you want, Kalzer?''''


    Kalzer pulled the chair from underneath the desk, and sped his hands. As silence fell on the room, he turned to Odin, and asked, ''''Is there a way to grow stronger?''''


    ''''There are many ways to grow stronger. You have to be more specific.''''


    ''''To grow as strong as Isaac, in one day.''''


    ''''Isaac...?'''' Odin frowned. He hadn''t heard a name like that before.


    ''''Ah.'''' Kalzer scratched his head, forgetting that only humans knew that name, ''''Wraith. Is it possible to grow as strong as him.''''


    Odin leaned against the chair, ''''I see... he managed to grow that strong in less than a day. So, it would make sense that it is possible. However, I don''t know, how he grew that strong.''''


    Kalzer''s palms whitened as his grip tightened, ''''So, it''s impossible?''''


    ''''I didn''t say that.'''' Odin said, ''''However, there is a reason why Gods, and Goddesses doesn''t help their legacy carriers like this. It is possible... that after we are done with it, your personality might bepletely erased.''''


    Kalzer''s eyes widened in shock.


    ''''I think, Simo, helped Wraith grow stronger, and he most likely used that method. Did he seem different than before?''''


    ''''No, he is the same.''''


    ''''That means, his personality didn''t get wiped out, which is the best result you could ask for.'''' Odin said, then sighed, ''''However, if you fail toplete the task, with 100% uracy, your personality will be erased, and you, Kalzer, will be dead, and be my doppelg?nger.


    ''''That''s not what we wish. If you be my doppelg?nger, your growth will slow down drastically. That''s not what I want. You are one of the brightest hopes humanity has. Please think long term.''''


    ''''Who is going to attack us?'''' Kalzer''s words caused Odin to jolt backward in shock, ''''You, have talked a lot about hope, danger, and the future. I am not a fool, nor is Isaac, nor the rest. We have all figured out that something evil is looming in the distance. What is it?''''


    ''''You are too young to burden yourself with such matters.'''' Odin turned to gaze out of the window, ''''Please, return to the arena, and drop such foolish thoughts.''''


    Kalzer''s frown deepened. He pulled out the gungnir, and stabbed it through the floorboard, ''''Then, this spear is yours. If you have so less faith in me, take the spear back, and find someone else.''''


    ''''Kalzer...'''' Odin gritted his teeth, and massaged his temples, ''''This is... really not a good idea. Is winning the tournament more important than survival?''''


    ''''Yes.'''' Kalzer grabbed the handle tightly, and revealed his powerful-looking eyes, ''''I am not afraid of risks. Isaac told me something, that changed my life, and it molded me to be a different person. Not the person my father wanted, but an ideal me. Thus, I am not afraid of backing off from my desires.''''


    ''''So, this is your desire?'''' Odin frowned.


    ''''Yes, and... if Isaac could survive the ordeal, then I should too! I won''t lose to him that easily!''''


    Odin sighed, ''Thor... Loki... now Kalzer, everyone so stubborn...''


    ''''Fine then, don''t regret it. After 24 hours, you might be reborn as monster of power or weak doppelg?nger. Don''t disappoint me.''''

 Chapter ?611 Souls of the Innocent.

    Chapter ?611 Souls of the Innocent.


    After hours of touring the Moon City, Isaac returned to his temporary residence. As he pulled out the pocket watch, and snapped it open, the time showed several hours past midnight.


    Click... after closing it, Isaac sat on his bed, and took off the shoes, and camouge outfit.


    Then, he moved over to the windows, and drew the curtains, hiding the window, and bright lights. After the darkness engulfed the room, he took a gasmp from his inventory, and ced it on top of the drawer, located at the foot of the bed.


    As he pressed the switch, the gentle light danced across the walls.


    After finally being able to rx, Isaac leaned against the wall, and thought about the protestors. If he said that they didn''t bother him, he would be lying. It was never nice to be hated, but on the other hand, he didn''t really take it to heart.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Isaac watched the flickering light, and had an idea. It was rather radical, and he wasn''t sure what the end goal was. However, currently, his instincts told him that it was a good idea.


    He pressed on the stream selection, and soon, a floating camera appeared before him. Isaac controlled it until it was hovering in the corner of the room, able to capture the entire room.


    Isaac pressed the holographic screen, and the red screen turned green. He started his stream. Immediately, the view count started rapidly rising, and all his viewers saw the handsome white-haired man, sitting alone in a dimly-lit room.


    Somewhere in the Four Seasons, Divinity, Isaac''s first moderator, woke up from his deep slumber. He didn''t go to Moon City since he was never a big fan of festivals, and was slightly afraid of crowded ces.


    After opening his phone, he noticed a stream alert. The only stream he was watching currently, Wraith''s stream, went live.


    His groggy eyes mmed open, and he ran to theputer. After turning it on, and clicking on the browser, he soon arrived in Wraith''s stream. He saw a strange scene, a flickering light barely giving off light beside the white-haired man.


    The atmosphere seemed solemn.


    Then, Divinity saw the chat''s mixed reactions. The other side shouted about Wraith being a criminal, and the other side insulted them as fools, and protected Wraith''s reputation.


    Isaac moved the holographic screen beside him, which showed the chat. After seeing the chat, he hummed. The gentle hum filled the speakers, causing the viewers to watch in silence.


    He revealed the golden-trimmed pocket watch, and clicked it open, ''''Anyone... recognize this?''''


    The chat was filled with question marks, until finally, one said that it belonged to that serial killer, who haunted the NPCs, and became very infamous. The pocket watch was his trademark, and everyone thought it disappeared after he was subdued.


    ''''I stopped him from killing anyone else.'''' Isaac revealed. It was still hazy for the public. They didn''t know who defeated him, ''''And then, I acquired this pocket watch. He stored all the innocent souls, he got from killing, into this pocket watch. Since then, I have tried to find a way to free these souls.''''


    The chat turned silent.


    ''''You guys may call me a terrorist, etc. But, have you ever stopped, and thought about why I attacked Hades?'''' Isaac nced at the silent chat, and smirked, ''''Hades is the master of souls. Dead, or living, he could control them all. Thus, I needed a drop of golden blood, from him.''''


    Isaac pulled out his silver-trimmed dagger from the inventory. There were drops of golden blood still on the de. He ced the dagger above the pocket watch, and shook it slightly, forcing the blood drops to fall.


    Drip... one of the golden dropsnded on the pocket watch, and the clock started swirling around like a high-powered fan.


    Isaac turned it toward the camera, and moved it closer. Everyone watching from their homes could see faces, scary-looking faces, stretching their hands towards the clock. The dozens of dead souls, turned from scary-looking, to angel-like beings.


    After feeling the freshness of the air, they left the pocket watch, and started floating towards the ceiling. As they were turning to pixels, they said grateful-filled words. They were finally free from the eternal torment.


    The room turned quiet again, and the clock stopped turning as quickly. It was showing the previous time, the clockhand slowly ticking down.


    Isaac closed the pocket watch, and said, ''''There ya go. Call me evil, demon, terrorist, I don''t care.''''


    With a swipe of his hand, he closed the stream, and the green screen turned red. He waved his hand, and all the screens disappeared. Then, he was about to shut down the gasmp, but was interrupted.


    Knock, knock... a gentle pair of knocks echoed from the door. Isaac, with a frown, stood up, and opened the door.


    ''''?!'''' Isaac''s eyes widened in surprise. On the other side of the door, Luna, wearing a beautiful dress. As she stepped into the room, she closed the door, and trapped Isaac in a hug. They both fell onto the bed.


    ''''Luna, why are you here?'''' Isaac asked with a surprise. As he touched her fragile-looking arms, and felt the softness, he realized that she was here in her real body, and not as an avatar.


    ''''Mm...'''' Luna smiled sweetly, andy beside him, ''''One of the stone portals,nded in our yard. When my parents weren''t looking, I snuck out, and came here. It took me a few hours to reach the arena.''''


    ''''But, why?''''


    ''''I... feel like you are going to do something foolish.'''' Luna said, and softly moved over Isaac, and sat on his stomach, ''''Underlord... I am afraid of him, and I don''t want you to fight against him.''''


    Isaac held her by the waist, and said, ''''He hurt you. I am going to show him hell by breaking his spine.''''


    Luna sighed, and caressed his cheek, ''''Everyone... is underestimating him. It''s not only about his power, but his demeanor. He doesn''t treat yers as humans.''''

    Chapter 612 The wless Night (R-18)


    ''''I know...'''' Isaac sat up, and hugged Luna tightly as their noses touched, ''''I can feel your fear. He might be strong, immensely strong. It still doesn''t mean he cannot be defeated, and I will show you that he is nothing but mortal.''''


    Luna smiled slightly, and rubbed his shoulders, ''''What happened to you?''''


    ''''I...'''' Isaac looked over her shoulder, at the flickering light, ''''Have seen things, far more dangerous than Underlord. And, I learned that even if the wall is impossible to climb, it still doesn''t mean there isn''t a way over, or around.''''


    Luna looked deeply at his silvery eyes, and opened her pinkish lips, ''''You are quite sexy right now, did you know that?''''


    ''''Hah?'''' Isaac chuckled, and looked at her eyes. He thought he saw heart-shaped pupils in her beautiful eyes.


    Luna grabbed the dress straps that went over her shoulders, and slipped them off. As she sat with her bare chest, her two mounds hugging Isaac, she carefully removed the rest of the dress.


    Isaac slowly started lying down on the soft bed. The flickering light shone on Luna''s beautiful naked figure. Her smooth, wless, unblemished skin, shone underneath the light.


    Her legs, with soft-looking thighs, slowly rose as she ced her hands on Isaac''s trousers, and removed them with a strong yank.


    ''''Isaac...'''' Luna ced her palm on his chest, and whispered lustfully, ''''A-Are you in need of a rest, or... can we do this?''''


    Isaac smiled, and wrapped his arms around Luna''s soft waist. As he pulled her closer, he nted a quick peck on her lips, and said, ''''I don''t think I can sleep anymore.''''


    Luna revealed a sweet smile, and moved her hand towards Isaac''s manhood. She aligned it with her honeypot, and slowly inserted it.


    ''''Mmmh...'''' Isaac felt his manhood wrapped around something warm, and soft. Even after she lost her virginity, it was still incredibly tight, almost making it feel like his manhood was being tightly held by a soft fist.


    ''''Haaaah...'''' Luna let out a soft moan as she finally sat on Isaac''sp, her soft butt touching his thighs. The manhood waspletely inside, making her feel warm.


    As she ced both hands on Isaac''s warm, and hard chest, she started moving her butt up, and down. Each movement caused a dirty sound to reverberate in the room. Smack, smack, smack...


    Isaac''s toes curled downward as he felt immense pleasure shrouding his entire being. As Luna''s honeypot was filled with his manhood, he felt like his legs turned numb as the pleasure reached all the way to his brain.


    ''''Haaah.... aahh...'''' Luna let out a heavenly moan as she increased her pace. Up, and down. The light flickered on the wall, showing two shadows wrestling in a lewd manner.


    Isaac grabbed Luna by her waist, and removed his manhood from her. She looked confused, but then she suddenlyy t on the bed, her soft-looking breasts squeezing against the mattress, and her soft butt slightly raised.


    Isaac moved behind her, grabbed her by the waist, and with one powerful thrust, he inserted his manhood inside her.


    ''''Ahhhh!'''' Luna let out a surprised moan. As she peeked over her shoulder, she saw Isaac thrusting behind her, doggy style.


    Isaac grabbed the hem of his shirt, and threw it away, revealing his well-toned body. With powerful grip on her waist, he increased the pace of his thrusting.


    Pak, pak, pak... the sound echoed, and it was even leaking outside the room.


    ''''Ahhh... Isaac~ it feels goood...'''' Luna smiled with a euphoric expression as her boyfriend pistoned her from behind. The endless waves of pleasure shrouded her.


    Isaac then grabbed her by the arms, and moved them backward, making Luna''s upper body float in mid air while being tightly grabbed by the arms. Her two breasts moved onward, and backward rapidly.


    ''''Haaah...'''' Isaac bit his lip as he couldn''t hold in his moans. The softness of Luna''s body was making him crazy. It was as if he was holding the body of a goddess of pleasure. Each moan of hers made him feel on edge, like he was about to release his load at a moment''s notice.


    ''''A-Ahh... Isaac~ I-I am cumming!'''' Luna cried out as her insides tightened dangerously. She cummed, making her legs feel like they were made of jelly. However, that wasn''t the end of her pleasure.


    Isaac, hearing her voice, increased the pistoning.


    ''''N-No... I-I am sensitive right now!'''' Luna cried out while her tongue swayed back, and forth outside her mouth. She didn''t want it to stop.


    As her moans resounded in the room, Isaac let go of her arms, and grabbed by her waist. Then, he increased the thrusting while his muscles bulged. He had felt like he was going toe minutes ago, but managed to keep it bay.


    As his manhood went deep, and out, Isaac couldn''t stop it from happening anymore. With Luna''s loud moans, he grabbed her by the soft butt, and did one final thrust. His body trembled as he let out his load deep inside her.


    The white sticky liquid filled her insides, and Luna let out her love juice one final time. After the soft liquid filled her insides, she came out onest time before falling to the bed with a satisfied expression.


    ''''Haaah...'''' Isaac looked at her smiling girlfriend, whose eyes grew shut. He turned to beside her, andy down with his chest moving, up and down. Then, he felt Luna''s soft body hugging him.


    ''''Isaac... do you promise me that you will be fine?'''' She asked while whispering gently.


    ''''Yeah... I will destroy him.'''' Isaac said, and wrapped his arm around her head, pulling her closer till her soft, naked body was right next to him, ''''Tomorrow... you should return to Four Seasons. Your parents must be worried.''''


    ''''But I want to stay...'''' Luna pouted, and drew circles on his naked chest.


    Isaac looked at her, and kissed her lips before saying, ''''Please... do this for me. If you are at home, I canpletely focus.''''


    ''''Alright...'''' Luna said as she ced her head on his shoulder, ''''p him for me.''''


    ''''Haha... alright.'''' Isaac smiled, and kissed her forehead. As they hugged, and their naked bodies almost connected, they closed their eyes, and entered a peaceful slumber.

 Chapter ?613 Are you... Kalzer?

    Chapter ?613 Are you... Kalzer?


    The festival was still ongoing even after the night. The city hadn''t brightened or darkened. It was hard to keep track of time because there was no sunlight or moonlight.


    Inside a dimly-lit room, with only the flickering light to give any light, two naked figures slowly woke up, with only a thin nket covering them.


    ''''Mmh...'''' Isaac groggily opened his eyes, and turned to the pile of clothes littering the floor. He clumsily reached into the pockets, and pulled out his pocket watch. The time showed that it was nearing evening. They had slept plenty after their nightly exercise.


    ''''Luna... wake up.'''' After again cing the pocket watch on the coat pocket, he turned to the beautiful naked girl, and shook her by the shoulder. Luna slowly woke up, revealing her glistening blue eyes.


    ''''Mmh...'''' She let out a quiet moan as she stretched her limbs. After getting rid of the grogginess, she sat up while hiding her naked body behind the nket.


    Isaac rummaged through his clothes, and started putting them on. After putting on his usual clothing, he stood up, and staggered to the window. The curtains were drawn, hiding the bustling city.


    As he peeked through the tiny gap, he saw that the festival was still ongoing. However, the number of people had decreased drastically.


    Luna slipped her petite body back into her beautiful dress, and hugged Isaac behind, ''''I am going now...''''


    ''''Safe travel.'''' Isaac nted a kiss on her forehead, and watched as she opened the door. However, on the other side of the door was Alice, her right hand formed into a fist because she was about to knock.


    ''''Oh, you are here!'''' Alice eximed after seeing Luna, ''''Your parents are really worried, y''know.''''


    Luna smiled, and grabbed Alice by the hand as she said, ''''I needed to see Isaac. They will understand. Now, will you take me to the realm portals?''''


    ''''Okay.'''' Alice nodded, and she saw Isaac''s back facing them. Then, the door closed, and Luna started pulling her away.


    After they left, Isaac pulled out his bo-staff. For today, he nned to find the best way to utilize his new weapon.


    ...


    ''''Wee, Oliver.'''' In a warehouse, located in the middle of snowy mountains, and valleys, All-America spread his arms wide as he weed the new member of Sword of Myth.


    Oliver, who broke out of the prison a day ago, was fascinated. There were close to a thousand soldiers, donning their uniform outfits, and all sorts of military vehicles. It barely looked like the Sword of Myth had lost any power.


    Oliver then turned to All-America and was shocked. Half of his face was disfigured, and there was endless rage in his eyes.


    ''''Yes... our fellow friend did this.'''' All-America touched his deformed face with an agonizing look.


    ''''Isaac...'''' Oliver bit his lip hatefully.


    ''''Anyway... I am d that this... tournament, appeared at this time.'''' All-America chuckled, ''''Because all channels talk about it, they didn''t have enough space to make any news about your escape. Thus, the government is alone in trying to hunt you down. But, while you are here, they can''t find you.''''


    Oliver nodded, then asked, ''''But, if no one can find us, how can Isaac?''''


    ''''Haha...'''' All-America chuckled, and turned to the far-away screen. It showed images of the tournament, and about Isaac''s match, ''''His hate toward you knows no bounds. He wille here, because I left a small enough track for him to follow.''''


    ''''What if Isaac informs the government?''''


    ''''He won''t, because he is solo artist, and believes he can do everything himself.'''' All-America snorted, ''''I guess, he, and I aren''t very different, after all.''''


    ''''Then, do I just wait here till hees to kill me?'''' Oliver asked with a frown. He wasn''t a big fan of this n.


    ''''Hmm... maybe you can be useful.'''' All-America unzipped his jacket, revealing an underarm holster with a revolver slipped inside. He unstrapped it, and gave it to Oliver.


    ''''What is this?'''' Oliver frowned while asking.


    ''''It is Legendary weapon from White Online. If ites down to that, use it.'''' All-America said, and walked away with one final words, ''''It might take him off-guard. Remember, don''t miss.''''


    Oliver turned to the revolver, and pulled it out of the holster. He pushed the hammer down, and spun the cylinder around. As his grip tightened, he felt like he was being fueled with power.


    ...


    The day went by, and humans started dispersing from the Moon City. All the Inhumans returned to their homes to sleep their fatigue off. It was already announced that the tournament would resume tomorrow.


    In Four Seasons, the National TV once again made bets on who would be the winner. This time, Underlord, and Wraith were highly spoken of. They were both in the top three, while Kalzer was still in the top seat.


    Even though they showed an incredible show of power, in everyone''s mind, Kalzer couldn''t be thrown away from his throne this easily.


    The Inte was strongly favoring Underlord, and Kalzer as the tournament''s winners. Even though many hated Underlord, they had to agree that he was strong. They could only imagine how strong one needs to be to induce pain in yers!


    Thus, many believed that everyone was too afraid to fight him, and even if someone fought, they wouldn''t be able to handle the pain.


    Currently, in Odin''s Moon Pce.


    Click, ding, click, ding, Odin sat on his creaking chair while holding a cane in one hand, and rock powder in the other. He watched as the golden me burned strongly in the firece.


    Tiny sweatdrops dropped down from the side of his face. It had been over 23 hours since Kalzer entered the test of power. It was about the time he left it, and became a whole new man.


    Sizzle! Then, the fire started burning hotter than ever. Odin''s eyes shed, and he threw the rock powder into the fire. The golden fire turned pitch-ck, and soon, a raven-haired man stepped out with his whole body drenched in sweat.


    Odin stood up while using the cane as support, ''''Kalzer... are you Kalzer?''''

 Chapter 614 The Second Rounds Insanity.

    Chapter 614 The Second Round''s Insanity.


    The raven-haired man slowly straightened his back, and inhaled. The whole room trembled under his aura. Then, the ck-shafted spear appeared in his hand, and the man''s long fingers wrapped around it.


    Odin gulped, and his hand, which held the cane, trembled, ''''Kalzer...?''''


    ''''Whoo...'''' The man exhaled, and turned to Odin with a smile, ''''It''s me. I don''t feel anything different, so I think it was sessful, right?''''


    Odin wiped his sweat, still hadn''t dropped his wariness. He walked around the desk, and with the cane, he swung it at the raven-haired man''s be.


    The cane''s golden tip touched the raven-haired man''s be, the spot between the eyebrows, and leaked a golden energy into the man''s head.


    Odin closed his eyes, and re-lived the man''s memories. He saw a hundred years of memories, but in the outside world, it only took a second. After he opened his eyes, a smile appeared, ''''Kalzer, you were sessful.''''


    ''''Whew...'''' Kalzer looked at his arms. They were flowing with power. It also felt like the gungnir was his new limb, ''Was this how Isaac felt during his fight against Hades? This feels powerful, and amazing.''


    ''''You should go rest.'''' Odin circled past the desk, and sat down. As he ced the cane on hisp, he closed his eyes, ''''Tomorrow is going to be a long day.''''


    ''''Yes, sir, and... thank you.'''' Kalzer bowed with gratitude. He knew how much power it took from Odin to send him to the test, and also to make sure that his personality remained intact.


    Odin softly nodded, and fell asleep.


    Kalzer left the room, and exhaled with a refreshed expression.


    ''''What is it with you all?'''' Then, a voice came next to him. Kalzer whipped his head to the side, and saw a blue-skinned man leaning against a wall, ''''W-Who?''''


    ''''I kinda feel bad for giving Wraith the handicap now.'''' Shiva chuckled, ''''Kalzer, that was your name, right?''''


    ''''Yes, and you are...?''''


    ''''Shiva.'''' After revealing his name, Kalzer''s expression changed to shock.


    ''''What should I do now...'''' Shiva sat on the ground, and snapped with his thumb, and middle finger. A glowing ball, resembling a, appeared on his palm. As he joggled with it, he thought about the tournament, and what to change.


    Currently, three yers were at level way above anyone else. It waspletely unfairpetition.


    Kalzer looked around the hallway, kind of embarrassed to just keep standing while the god continued thinking about something. He didn''t know whether he should leave, or stay. It sounded like Shiva had something to talk about.


    ''I can''t just handicap everyone.'' Shiva clicked his tongue, and made the ball vanish, ''In some sense, the three yers deserved their power, so it isn''t exactly fair to handicap them...''


    After thinking about it, his third eye appeared, and all of his eyes widened in realization. He knew what he should do.


    ''The next round was supposed to be a team match. However, what if, we are changing things a little bit... Instead of a team match, what if it''s a boss fight. Those three yers, will guard one path each. The 47 remaining yers will be three different teams, and the two fastest teams will qualify, while the third doesn''t.''


    Shiva''s face had arge grin, ''''Bingoooooo!''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Kalzer flinched, then Shiva stood up, and patted him on the shoulder as he walked by, ''''Good luck for tomorrow, hehehehe.''''


    ''What is with that creepyughter?'' Kalzer thought while shuddering. After seeing Shiva''s grin, he felt like something terrible would happen tomorrow.


    ...


    At that same night, Shiva told his n tp the tournament creator, Heimdall. At first, he was shocked, and thought it was utterly ludicrous. Instead of three yers being boss, they could pick three dangerous beasts from Spawn Dimensions.


    However, Shiva''s logic was that the three yers would do 90% of the fighting in each group. It wouldn''t be fun to watch.


    After hearing about all that, he started thinking about the possibility sincerely.


    In that office, with a warm light shrouding the walls, Shiva, and Heimdall sat at opposite sides of a wooden desk. They stayed silent before Heimdall opened his mouth.


    ''''The problem is that there will be two extra yers. It''s either we give two yers a free pass, or two teams have one extra fighter.''''


    ''''Hmm...'''' Shiva tapped his feet against the floor, and said, ''''Shall we decide the teams already? That way, we can make somewhat equal teams of equal strength.''''


    ''''That slightly goes against our principle, but I guess we don''t have any other choice.'''' Heimdall said, and waved his hand, ''''Any ideas about the teams?''''


    ''''Yeah... a few.'''' Shiva grinned, and told about the teams. Then, Heimdall quipped, and fixed some of the teams.


    After midnight went by, they had finished the teams. The next round was going to be insane.


    ...


    The screens in both Moon City, and Four Seasons showed the shocking news. The next round''s name was called Boss Fight. It was a team-based round, with three teams trying to defeat a boss, and the two fastest teams would qualify for the third, and final round.


    At that moment, they thought the bosses would be monsters. However, the next piece of announcement took the world by storm. The bosses were three yers, Underlord, Wraith, and Kalzer.


    After hearing about it, shock filled the entire Inte. They were excited, but, also confused. What happens if one of them loses? Would they get kicked out of the tournament, or what.


    Then, several minutester, the exnation arrived from the Moon City. None of the bosses would be eliminated. However, the one whosted the longest, would get an amazing reward.


    Thus, there was a big bacsh. Everyone knew that these three yers were most likely the strongest, but didn''t know by how much. There was still Amour, Xerxus, Sorcerer, etc, who were incredibly strong.


    They expected the round to end swiftly in the bosses'' losses.


    Then, the long night ended with the teams, which were revealed to everyone.


    [1st. Boss: Wraith - Team: Lady Noelle, PrincessHeart, Darth, Sorcerer, Queen Cecilia... - Total: 15 yers]


    [2nd. Boss: Lord Kalzer - Team: King Xerxus, Tyrion, King Michael, King Jonathan, Colossus... - Total: 16 yers]


    [3rd. Boss: Underlord - Team: Lord Amour, King us, Queen Diana, Zachary, Wondend... - Total: 16]

 Chapter ?615 Demons Are Here!

    Chapter ?615 Demon''s Are Here!


    The God Realm was still active even while the Gods, and Goddesses were absent. The residents, and angels stayed behind, to keep the realm running.


    On the outskirts of the God City, several hooded figures appeared from the shadows. It was like they could control the shadows at their will.


    Be removed her hood, and gazed towards the faraway pce. It was Zeus'' pce, and they had tracked the location of the illusionary veil to that location. It was also great that most of the major Gods, and Goddesses had left.


    Without the tournament, it would have taken them much longer to arrive in the God Realm. Behind Be, the Commanding Demons looked toward the pce. They could feel a strange fluctuation in the air.


    ''''It is there...'''' One of them whispered, and clenched his trembling hands, ''''Finally, we can return home.''''


    ''''Home...'''' Be murmured with sadness. She didn''t have anything called "home''''. During her stay in Stronglord, she managed to feel like that ce was her home. However, it was all fantasy. She had a job to do, to break the veil of illusion.


    ''''General?''''


    Be turned to her subordinates, and nodded, ''''Let''s go.''''


    They nodded, and they again submerged into the shadows. The shadows slithered across the dark alleyways, and rapidly moved towards the pce. However, on the front steps, there were several winged-creatures guarding it. They were Angels.


    But, Be didn''t care as she slithered across the ground, and slipped past their legs, and entered the pce from underneath the door.


    Soon, her subordinates followed.


    ''''Did you see that?!'''' One of the angels flinched, and jumped away from the ground like someone with Arachnophobia who suddenly saw a spider. His wings unfurled, and he majestically hovered a dozen meters away from the ground.


    He looked at the door, but saw nothing except the confused expression of his guard partner. The angel frowned. He thought he saw something, but after seeing that there was nothing there, he flew back down, and scratched his hair in confusion.


    Inside the pce, the shadows slithered across the tiled floors. They moved past the bottom floor, then when they arrived at the first set of stairs, they split up. Be moved to the second floor, followed by a few others, while the rest searched the bottom floor thoroughly and tried to find a way to the basement floor.


    After searching the entire luxurious pce, everyone gathered on the bottom floor, and Be frowned inside the shadow. They couldn''t find anything, but they knew that the veil of illusion was somewhere nearby.


    p! p! p! Then, the shadows scurried away to dark corners. Among the pping noises, a heavenly angel, flew across the pce while scanning the floor with squinted eyes. A golden armor donned his masculine body.


    He was one of the Archangels, Michael, the Bringer of Protection. He softlynded on the tiled floors, and looked around with a frown. When he was dining in his own quarters, he felt like something was crawling in his skin, as if he was scratching a coarse texture.


    Michael turned to the dark corners, and frowned. His sharp gaze noticed a strange scene. There should only be one shadow, but with his amazing eye-sight, he noticed there were a dozen!


    He immediately drew his sword, and lunged forward. From one of the shadows, Be appeared, and turned into her seductive demon form. She had a beautiful bronze skin, barbed-wire-like tail, and two long horns.


    ''''Demon!'''' Michael shouted in shock. He was utterly frightened that demons had infiltrated the God Realm, and no one had noticed a thing. And the scary part was that they were in the ce where the veil of illusion was!


    The other shadows slithered away, and started desperately searching for any way to the basement.


    ''''Begone, vile creatures!'''' Michael shouted, and hacked his sword down at Be, who dodged it with a light-footed movement. She sprang forward, and smashed her fist into the Archangel''s face, sending him flying across the pce.


    Be immediately kicked the ground, and chased after the Archangel. While flying, Michael unfurled his wings, and stopped his flight. With a bloodied face, he flew straight back to the demoness, and swung his sword.


    Be ducked under the de, and slid across the floor. After going past flying Michael, she jumped up, grabbed his pure white wings, and ripped them off!


    ''''Aaaaghhh!'''' Michael''s cry of agony echoed in the empty pce. He was the sole guard of the pce, and every other Archangel was doing their duty elsewhere. He crashed on the tiled floors, rolled a dozen meters while leaving a trail of golden blood in his wake.


    ''''...'''' With no emotion, Be jumped across the air, andnded on Michael''s back, breaking his spinal cord.


    ''''Cough!'''' The Archangel spat out golden blood that had lost its luster. With a weak expression, hey back on the ground with the glow disappearing from his eyes.


    Be looked down at the crippled Archangel, and mmed her gentle-looking foot on his skull, shattering it. Michael, the Bringer of Protection, died.


    ''''General, we found it!'''' She then heard one of the shadows shouting. The shadows slithered past a fancy-looking bookshelf.


    Be turned into a shadow, and slithered under the bookshelves. They entered a deep flight of stairs, leading far down. After a long descent, they arrived in a dimly-lit cavern-like room. The walls were high, the ceiling rocky, and the air was moist.


    However, the only thing they cared about was the pair of enormous doors at the end of the room. They could feel the strong fluctuationsing from behind that door. There it was, the Veil of Illusion.


    There were no guards, not even a light that could shine in their path.


    Be, and the other Demons reappeared in their demon forms. They couldn''t bother to hide themselves anymore. The finish line was right there, and this cavern was covered in a thickyer of moon rock. Usually, it would stop all signals that could track Demons.


    And, it would make it impossible for demons to feel the existence of the Veil of Illusions. But, the Demon Kings prepared for this. Thus, they sent only highly sensitive demons, who could even feel a tiny ripple in the air.


    Be clenched her fists, and thought, ''This is it... No one can escape the power of demons.''

 Chapter 616 The Grin.

    Chapter 616 The Grin.


    Be, and the demons surrounded the tall doors. They were specially made to stop anyone from entering. However, they weren''t built to survive the onught of the Demon General''s attacks. After all, the Demon General''s strength changed drastically depending of the rank.


    Be was a Demon General of Eight rank. The doors could perhaps survive someone of rank fifty, but someone in the top ten was unlikely.


    She raised her bronze-colored fist, and smashed it into the metal doors. Arge dent appeared. Following her, the rest of the Commanding Demons unleashed their spells--glowing spheres, long glowing whips, and flying spells.


    Once the glowing spheres struck the door, they exploded, causing more dents to arrive. The long glowing whipsshed across the door, leaving behind a long cut, and finally, the flying spells sted through the door.


    Seeing that the door was nearly breaking, Be raised both her fists, and struck them in the door. Within an instant, she punched the door a thousand times, and finally, threw a kick which broke the door from its hinges, causing it to fall off.


    Be, and the rest of the Demons activated their spells. They didn''t know what was hiding behind the door, but the only defense couldn''t be the door.


    After the smoke cleared, they saw a throne room-sized space, with a glowing sphere in the middle, guarded by hexagon-shaped barrier. The heat was unbearable because there was a disfigured man with bare chest, creating weapons before the door was broken apart.


    ''''W-What?!'''' Hephaestus, the cksmithing god, was frightened. After seeing the intruders, his eyes widened in a shock, and he immediately ran toward the barrier, which guarded the Veil of Illusion. However, one of the demons appeared before him, and punched.


    Hephaestus grabbed the fist, and smashed the demon at the ground like he was a ragdoll, ''''Get out of my way!''''


    The demon''s bronze skin slightly cracked as he was thrown across the room, then crashed on the granite wall.


    The rest of the demons attacked Hephaestus, pushing him away from the barrier. Be slowly walked towards the barrier, and touched it with her long fingers.


    ''''No!'''' Hephaestus screamed, and threw the demons off. However, one of the demons stabbed him by a long, w-like dagger. He coughed out golden blood, but then grabbed the demon''s head, and crushed it.


    The rest of the demons didn''t look fazed. They sprung to their feet, and attacked the cksmithing god from every angle. Hephaestus desperately tried to fight back while watching the seductive-looking demon move her hand across the barrier.


    ''How does she know that brute strength isn''t the way to open it?!'' Hephaestus cried out. The barrier had a safety mechanism. If someone tried to attack it, it would cause an rm, that rang throughout all the realms. The Gods, and Goddesses would realize that someone was attacking.


    Thus, Hephaestus tried to attack the barrier, but couldn''t move even a step forward. Even though he was alone and stronger than the Commanding Demons, there were too many of them.


    Hephaestus crashed into the granite wall, and quickly tilted his head to the side. One of the demons missed his head, and kicked the wall. However, the rest of the demons unleashed their spells, and caused arge explosion.


    ''''Aaaargh!'''' Hephaestus, smoking like he was on fire, fell on the ground, right beside the forger. There was a hammer lying on top of it. It was long-handled, and the hammer part was covered in shiny steel.


    With quick hands, he snatched the hammer, and smashed it across one of the demon''s faces, shattering the skull. With a loud roar, he ran across the room while smashing the hammer on the demons.


    As they unleashed their spells, he used the hammer as shield, and then smashed it across their bodies. The dead demons littered the ground as Hephaestus leaped across the room, and swung his hammer towards the barrier.


    Be swung her head around, and stood in front of the hammer, her hand raised toward Hephaestus.


    ''''Hmph, die!'''' Hephaestus, seeing that the demon nned to take the strike head-on, changed the trajectory from the barrier at Be.


    However, once the hammer struck''s Be''s delicate hand, itpletely stopped. It was like it was suddenly stuck in time.


    ''''A-Aaaarfgghh!'''' Hephaestus screamed in frustration as hisrge muscles bulged. His ugly, disfigured face was morphed into a struggling look.


    Be moved the hammer effortlessly away from her, and backhanded Hephaestus across his face. He flew out of the room, andnded in the middle of the cavern-like room.


    ''''Sphere of Destruction.'''' A small glowing sphere appeared from Be''s finger. She aimed it at the ceiling, and fired it. After the spherended on the ceiling, it exploded, causing the ceiling to crumble in pieces. The debris fell right in the ce of the door, covering the Veil of Illusion room from the rest.


    Be then turned to rest of the demons, and waved her hand. The previous dead demons rose to their feet like they were zombies. Soon, light returned to their red eyes, and they were back alive.


    ''''Whew, thanks General.'''' They bowed in gratitude, and surrounded the barrier. They all ced their hands on it, and started slowly breaking it with gentle touch.


    Hephaestus struggled to stand up. Then, he saw from a tiny cracks that all the demons were again alive. The barrier started slowly cracking. He panicked, and ran towards the room. However, there were the debris in the way.


    As he smashed his hammer on the debris, his hands trembled, and he lost the grip on the long handle. The hammer slipped off his hold, and flew away.


    The debris was made of thickyer of moon rock. He didn''t have enough strength to break it. It shocked him greatly that delicate-looking demoness managed to push him off so easily, and even broke the moon rock!


    Be rubbed her hands across the barrier, and soon, it shattered before dissipating into pixels.


    ''''Please don''t!'''' Hephaestus shouted in panic, ''''You don''t have to do this!''''


    ''''Shut up, filth!'''' The demons shouted, andughed afterward. Be didn''t change her expression, and touched the glowing sphere. It was thest protection the veil had.


    This time, they could use brute strength. Thus, with one attack, it shattered, revealing a transparent veil. It looked like it was illusionary, and not from this universe.


    Be grabbed the veil with her two hands. As the demons watched excitedly, she ripped it in half.


    ...


    Thousands ofs away.


    ''''Haaah...'''' Lucifer, Demon King of First Heaven, grinned. He sat on a dark throne, in his majestic First Heaven Castle. Surrounding the castle was hundred thousand strong demon army. They raised their halberds, spears, and swords towards the crimson sky, and shouted in unison.


    The war was here.

 Chapter ?617 Second Round, Start!

    Chapter ?617 Second Round, Start!


    ''''The veil will stop workingpletely after its power has depleted.'''' Be said while looking at the two pieces of illusionary veil she held, ''''After the power ispletely depleted, this world will bepletely visible.''''


    Be turned to look at the excited-looking demons, ''''Our Kings will be able to sense this world from a thousand gxies away, while the Gods are still oblivious to what happened here. But, we have to leave this world before the veil''s power is depleted. If we are here when it happens, we will be caught.''''


    The demons nodded, asked, ''''Then, what should we do with... him?''''


    They turned their blood-red eyes towards the pale-faced Hephaestus, who looked like the entire world fell apart. He failed at his guard duty, and because of that, everything became meaningless.


    ''''No witnesses!'''' Be said coldly, and she waved her hand. The debris moved out of the way, and demons lunged toward Hephaestus. He didn''t even try to resist. Instead, the demons ripped him apart, and soon the gody dead before the broken doorway.


    Be pocketed the ripped-apart veil pieces, and left the room with the demons following her lead. The incident that happened in this very room would beter known as the Start of the Doomsday.


    ...


    The new morning dawned in Moon City, everyone oblivious to the things happening in the God Realm.


    The arena started to get crowded with Inhumans moving in messy lines towards their seats. The Gods, and Goddesses entered their watching rooms.


    The biggest conversation topic was the second round, Boss Fights. The Gods, and Goddesses were slightly displeased that such a big decision was made behind their backs. However, after it was said that Shiva was responsible, everyone quieted down.


    Then, everyone''s attention shifted to the arena. Everyone eximed in surprise. A massive mountain appeared from the ground, andpletely covered the arena. Therge screens showed dimly-lit caverns, and tunnels.


    The next stage was Mountain Arena. The boss fights would happen in three different cavern systems. To get there, they would have to walk across a dimly-lit tunnel.


    Then, everyone saw that yers started appearing in the starting area. The three teams were soon assembled, and the door to the dimly-lit tunnel was still shut.


    Within the first team, whose duty was to fight against Isaac. The atmosphere was rather solemn. They knew that they had small chances of winning head-on. Thus, they had to think of a n.


    While Lady Noelle, PrincessHeart, Darth, and Queen Cecilia gathered to discuss the n, Sorcerer sat alone in the dark corner. His dark eyes were fixated on the door.


    The other 10 yers stood on the sidelines. They were powerhouses in their own right, and managed to enter the second round on their strength alone. They gathered around their own groups, and thought about ns.


    Within the second team, Xerxus stretched his legs, while Tyrion bit his lip anxiously. He still remembered Kalzer''s overwhelming strength. King Michael, and King Jonathan looked at each other with squinted eyes. They were almost drawing their swords. However, they knew better than anyone that they needed to work as a team to defeat the monster called Kalzer.


    Within the third team, the atmosphere was extremely cold. It was like an ancient beast was hiding behind that door, waiting to rip them apart. Alice, and Queen Diana, sitting together while discussing Underlord. They both looked nervous, especially Alice.


    Lord Amour held his crimson-colored axe, a golden shine reflecting off his eyes. He was feeling stronger than ever before, maybe even stronger than during his fight against King Arawn.


    King us cleaned his long sniper rifle, while only thinking about his bad luck. He wanted to be on the first team, and fight against Wraith. However, unfortunately, he ended up in the wrong group.


    Then, there was Zachary. His grin grew as he looked around him. His first match was one of the least watched, because his opponent was one of the weakest, and in everyone''s opinion, Zachary wasn''t anything special.


    ''What a brilliant ce this is... Moon City, whole day is basically nighttime.'' Zachary exhaled with a euphoric expression.


    Creak... then, the door slowly opened. The same thing happened in each waiting room. The yers saw a dimly-lit tunnel, a kilometer long. It went straight to the boss room, where their opponent waited.


    They took a leap of faith, and entered the dark tunnel. The door closed behind them with a bam, and thenterns mounted on the walls lit up. The tunnel wasn''t any longer dim, but bright, and they could already see the end of the tunnel far away.


    In the first boss room, Isaac leaned against the high-end backrest while thinking about his meeting with Shiva. He was told that he didn''t have to fight as a handicap anymore. However, he wanted to, for experience.


    In the second boss room, Kalzer held the gungnir in one hand, and a sphere of light in the other. After the echo of the door opening rang from the tunnel, he made the sphere of light disappear, and sat confidently on his throne.


    In the third boss room, Underlord''s Doppleg?nger turned his murky eyes towards the tunnel. His lips curled into a disgusting smile.


    The three teams started running with their weapons drawn. As the end of the tunnel neared, the atmosphere turned heavy, and they all felt like a hidden beast was waiting at the end. Then, with one final burst, they ran out of the tunnel, and arrived in the separate cavern-like room.


    In the middle was a dark throne, with a figure sitting on top.


    Isaac spun the bo-staff in his hand, and looked down at his opponents.


    In the second boss room, everyone gulped, and felt like the entire world was crushing on top of them. Kalzer crossed his leg over his left, and rested the spear against his shoulder. He looked like a mighty king.


    ''What monster!'' Xerxus smiled with sweatdrops trailing down his face.


    In the third room, everyone felt like they had entered a freezer. When they saw the ''''Underlord'''', they surrounded the throne with nervous expression.


    Alice held her priestess cane, and looked straight at the Doppelg?nger. However, then she saw his gaze turning to her. The gaze was full of murderous intent.


    Alice''s eyes widened in fear. She felt like a small kitten, standing before prehistoric beast.

 Chapter 618 The Majestic Kings.

    Chapter 618 The Majestic Kings.


    In the first room, Lady Noelle held her waist, and said, ''''Isaac,e down from there, or I wille up, and p you.''''


    Isaac didn''t react to the provocation. Instead, he smirked, and said, ''''Oh, how scary.''''


    PrincessHeart drew her mace. It was spiky with color of silver. She ran past her teammates, and ignored their yells. She ran up the stone stairs, and appeared before the throne.


    ''''Stop being arrogant!'''' she shouted, and smashed the mace down. However, the attack came to a quick stop as she soon noticed the tip of bo-staff touching her stomach. She couldn''t move an inch, or else the bo-staff would hit her!


    The mace hovered above her while she gritted her teeth, ''''S-Shit... why am I feeling like the bo-staff is actually a steel spear?''''


    In the eyes of everyone, the ordinary, worn-out bo-staff looked like a steel spear. They realized they underestimated him a little bit too much. After all, he defeated Hades, which was now public knowledge, and was enough to shock everyone. However, they still didn''t know the limit of his strength.


    Or was it that Hades was simply weak? No, no, no, they now realized that both of them were extremely strong, but Isaac was just a little bit stronger.


    Lady Noelle suddenly ran in superspeed while a trail of golden lightning followed her. She grabbed PrincessHeart, and returned to their teammates.


    Isaac could only see a sh of golden lightning. But, he thought she was faster before, ''Hmm, it didn''t feel as fast as before. It means, my reaction time has increased, and so has my vision. Is this because the Precision Stat is now maxed... I still haven''t gotten used to my new strength, and vision, but after this fight, I will be stronger.''


    ''''Thanks...'''' PrincessHeart said with thumbing heartbeat. She actually thought she would die.


    ''''Next time, don''t attack without n.'''' Noelle said, ''''He is strong, and we need to work together to beat him.''''


    She nodded, and thus, everyone learned about the dangers of Isaac.


    ...


    In the second room, Kalzer''s pressure subdued everyone. They didn''t even dare to attack.


    ''''Hmm... if you don''t n to attack, I shall.'''' he said, and stood up from the dark throne. As soon as his knees, and back straightened, he swung the spear, and moved across the room with a single step.


    He appeared before an oblivious-looking yer, whose eyes widened in shock. He tried to use one of his Pdin skills, but Kalzer''s spear was already an inch away from his throat.


    At that moment, a silver streak of lightning ran past, caught the Pdin, and stopped at the other end of the cavern.


    The pdin turned around in surprise, and saw Xerxus holding his jacket. His face was drenched in sweat, and it looked like Kalzer''s pressure was mainly on him.


    ''''Nice.'''' Kalzer smiled, then, two loud thuds echoed behind him. King Jonathan, and King Michael appeared behind him, and swung their swords simultaneously.


    ''''Golden Sword Fencer!'''' Jonathan shouted, and his sword shone in gold as it neared Kalzer''s back.


    ''''Wind sh!'''' Michael released a burst of wind, and swung his sword downward.


    Kalzer turned around, and parried both strikes with the gungnir''s de. It looked effortless as he simply side swept to the left. Both Kings looked shocked, and took a step back. But, Kalzer followed, and executed a spear thrust.


    King Michael was the first target. His eyes widened, and tried to put the sword in the way. However, the spear dodged the block, and pierced through his waist.


    ''''?!'''' as the blue blood flew, Michael stumbled backward, and saw a drop on his health bar. Then, Kalzer''s shadow appeared before him, and his spear flew down. At that moment, Jonathan appeared, and smashed his shield on the spear.


    Kalzer''s eyes narrowed as he was slightly pushed to the side. Then, Jonathan stabbed his sword forward, but it was again effortlessly parried by the spear.


    Still, that bought enough time for Michael. He stood up, nodded in gratitude, and retreated.


    As Jonathan moved forward, and shed with his sword, Kalzer suddenly weaved through the sword strikes, and backhanded Jonathan across his face. He crashed on the ground, and the sword slipped off his grip.


    Kalzer leaped off the ground, and looked down at the fallen Jonathan. He put the spear into a thrusting stance, and then stabbed forward. It looked like the spear multiplied as it moved so quickly that it looked like a thousand afterimages.


    Jonathan''s eyes widened in fear, and he clumsily put the shield as block. It wasst attempt of survival, but he didn''t expect to survive.


    When the spear was about to hit, a sh of silver lightning appeared before Kalzer, and then, a fistnded on his cheek. Xerxus attacked with a superspeed-fueled fist. He thought it would damage the monster. However, it didn''t.


    Kalzer''s head barely moved. He turned to Xerxus, and shed with the spear. Xerxus clumsily ducked, and quickly entered his superspeed mode, and began to run away. Then, the gungnir flew out of his grip, and impaled through Xerxus'' back!


    ''''?!'''' Xerxus'' eyes widened in shock, and he fell to the ground. The gungnir left his back, and returned to Kalzer. He turned back to Jonathan, and shed through his throat.


    ''''Ugh!'''' King Jonathan saw his health bar disappear in a sh. He sadly smiled, and turned into pixels. However, he didn''t log-out, but instead appeared in the watching room where everyone who died ended.


    Everyone gulped in shock at Kalzer''s strength. Even King-titled yers were nothing before him. After the spectators saw the scene, they cheered Kalzer''s name.


    ''''Kalzer, Kalzer, Kalzer!!!''''


    ...


    In the third room, the scene was like something from a nightmare.


    ''''Aaaaaargh, someone help!''''


    ''''Hmph, can''t you handle this much pain?'''' Doppelg?nger clicked his tongue as he looked at the crying man. He had only broken his arm, but was already peeing in his pants.


    ''''Let go of him!'''' Lord Amour screamed, and swung his crimson-colored axe. Doppelg?nger innocently waved his hands, and moved away.


    Lord Amour knelt before the fallen yer, and looked at him with a grim look, ''This fucker still hasn''t changed...''


    He looked at ''''Underlord'''' with a sickening expression. He was torturing yers, and it seemed like he got pleasure from doing it.


    Alice stayed behind, and often just gave blessings to her teammates. However, after seeing the terrifying scene, she dropped her cane, and knelt with fear. The screams still echoed in her, and the other yers'' ears.

 Chapter ?619 Silver Deaths Fate.

    Chapter ?619 Silver Death''s Fate.


    A streak of golden lightning dashed across the tall, and rocky room. Noelle pulled out a dagger, and shed down at Isaac''s calf muscles. He effortlessly jumped over the de even though he couldn''t see the dagger.


    However, he sensed the dagger''s presence. It was impossible for ordinary folks, but Isaac was already way past ordinary. His current form could be said to be ''''Demi-God'''', and he was nearing the threshold of godhood.


    His perfect vision went past mortality, and he could even see things beyond the known realms. He could see the supernatural, the realm between realms, and things that were previously outside of human knowledge. The dagger''s presence moved beyond human perspective, but it was now within Isaac''s perspective.


    As Noelle slid across the ground with a frustrated expression, green-colored arrows flew across the air, and approached Isaac from his blindspot.


    However, the arrows had their own presence. These green arrows had the presence of poison. Isaac swung the bo-staff, parried the arrows away, and turned to the person who shot them. Darth held the bow high with a pale face.


    ''''Haiah!'''' Ceciliaunched herself forward, and swung her broadsword horizontally. Isaac backflipped over the de, and swung his leg at the girl''s adorable face. However, before connecting, she ducked the kick, changed the grip on the sword, and stabbed it towards the white-haired man.


    ''''Oho.'''' Isaac was quite impressed. He ced the bo-staff''s tip on the rocky ground, and used it to propel himself backward. Afternding outside the throne, spells, and bullets chased after him.


    The rest of the yers used their skills as they tried to use sneak-attack when Isaac was busy dealing with the stronger yers.


    ''''Sneaky.'''' Isaac weaved through the attacks, then saw one of the yers holding a silver-colored revolver. It looked dangerous. He pushed the hammer down, adjusted the cylinder, and fired.


    Isaac smashed the bo-staff at the iing bullet, sending it flying away, and as the bullet struck the rock wall, it produced massive sparks.


    ''Who is he?'' he turned to look at the yer, and didn''t remember seeing him. His match must have been when he was busy in the Winter Realm.


    The man with the revolver again fired. As the bullets flew, Isaac casually weaved through them, and after being five meters from the man, he threw the bo-staff at him.


    The man''s eyes widened, and he ducked the flying bo-staff. Then, as he raised his head, Isaac''s fist struck him, and caused him to fly across the room.


    The revolver slipped out of his grip.


    Isaac looked at the revolver, and surprisingly, the feeling of danger came from the revolver.


    ''''What is this?'''' he picked it up, but immediately dropped it. A burn mark appeared on his hand, ''''How strange...''''


    Whoosh! Cecilia appeared behind him, driving the sword forward with force. Isaac quickly dodged it by twisting his body towards the side, at the same time, he sent a kick on her torso, forcing her to skid backward with a loud groan.


    Isaac ced his hands on the ground, and backflipped. As he stood again on his two legs, he was surrounded by the group of yers. They unleashed their attacks, filling the air with shing colors.


    [Marksman of Space Used!]


    As he disappeared into a gluster of stars, the attacks exploded, and injured the group of yers. They identally forgot that they could still hurt their teammates, and as their health dropped, they started arguing while only a few thought about using health potions.


    Noelle clicked her tongue, and turned to the throne. There, Isaac sat casually while crossing his right leg over his left. It looked like he was on vacation.


    ''''This bastard!'''' PrincessHeart stomped the ground angrily, and felt like attacking again. But, remembered Noelle''s words. She could only swallow her anger, and wait for a moment to strike.


    Sorcerer watched from the sidelines. He hadn''t moved a muscle since the fight began, and had no intention of doing so for the time being.


    While the group of yers argued, Isaac''s smile grew, and hue of crimson appeared in his eyes. Noelle, Darth, Cecilia, and PrincessHeart widened their eyes in shock.


    ''''Watch out, you fools!'''' they shouted toward the screaming yers. But, it was toote. A crimson beam left Isaac''s eyes, and burned the arguing yers to ashes.


    The spectators grimaced with mixed expressions. That was one of the most embarrassing ways to go out. All the yers present had their own pride, and ego.


    They were used to working as a team, but they were almost always the leaders of any party. Thus, they only know how to give orders, not how to receive them.


    Therefore, only five yers remained. Noelle, PrincessHeart, Darth, Cecilia, and Sorcerer.


    ...


    In the waiting room, King Jonathan suddenly saw ten yers appearing out of nowhere. They didn''t speak a word, and only sat alone while angrily whispering to themselves. They all med others, and not themselves. They were certain that their team was going to lose.


    ...


    The fight continued in the second room as Kalzer majestically danced across the room while parrying everyone''s attacks. Then, an enormous yer, called Colossus, stomped forward, and smashed his axe down.


    Kalzer jumped over the massive man, pushed the spear into his throat, thennded behind him. Behind him, the massive man fell to his knees, and disappeared into pixels.


    Everyone was shocked that Silver Death''s co-leader, Colossus, was taken out so quickly!


    ''''Colossus...'''' King Michael murmured with a grim expression. As he opened his eyes, the whole room was bathed in blood. He could hear the screams of women, and children. The memories of Superfort massacre surfaced in his mind.


    After a short moment, the vision returned to normal, and he saw Kalzer fighting against Xerxus. Michael looked at his hands, and felt like they were dyed in blood.


    The Silver Death used to be the dominant power in Superfort. They acted like kings, without caring about the lives of New-Gen Humans. Then, the announcement came, and everything charged. Silver Death disbanded immediately after since everyone felt so dirty, like they were inhumane murderers.


    King Michael had it the worst. Hemanded everyone, and in his opinion, he should be already in prison. But, everyone who killed New-Gen Humans before the announcement was pardoned. They couldn''t possibly know they were real beings.


    However, Michael doesn''t believe he should be pardoned. He slowly dropped the sword and, shocking everyone, he logged out of the game, and disappeared.


    ...


    In the waiting room, King Jonathan jumped to his feet with a shocked expression, ''''Where did he go?''''

 Chapter 620 Nyxs Legacy.

    Chapter 620 Nyx''s Legacy.


    Doppelg?nger moved across the room, smashing his fists into the frightened-looking yers. As he left behind a crying group of yers, he moved over to Alice with a sickening grin.


    However, before he could reach her, Amourunched forward, and shed with the crimson-ded axe. Before it could reach Doppelg?nger, an invisible wall appeared, and stopped the axe like it was held by invisible strings.


    Doppelg?nger turned to Amour with a grin, and snapped his fingers. The ceiling fell, andnded on top of him, burying him like an ancient mummy.


    He then turned to Alice, and saw the frightened expression on her young maiden''s face. With one step, he was already standing in front of her, and then his right hand turned into a steel spear.


    ''''Whoo!'''' with a cry of joy, Doppelg?nger stabbed the spear forward, and it approached Alice''s face.


    ''''Eh...'''' Alice''s face froze, then recalled memories of her early days in White Online. The whole room looked like it was frozen. The steel spear stopped moving, Doppelg?nger unfazed grin stayed still, and she could see Diana screaming along with Amour.


    As she dropped her gaze, her hand was the only thing that moved in the frozen time. Then, she pressed it against Doppelg?nger''s torso, and whispered,


    ''''Divine Magic, A Force.''''


    Boom! The time started again moving, and Doppelg?nger''s face froze as fresh blood gushed out of his mouth. However, the blood was... transparent, like it was made from the same material as a mirror...


    He flew through the room like a person who had lost control of an airne. Then, he crashed into the rocky wall, and got deeply buried inside. Near the ceiling, holographic screen appeared, showing that the Boss had lost health slightly.


    Everyone turned to Alice. Millions of eyes saw a beautiful young maiden, gasping for air. However, in their eyes, she looked immensely powerful. She was the first one, in their opinion, who had injured Underlord even slightly!


    ''''W-what was that...'''' she looked at her trembling hands. It was like someone froze the air, helping her to do that.


    In one of the watching rooms, God Zeus, and Shiva frowned. They realized something.


    ''''She... doesn''t realize she did that by herself.'''' Zeus said and turned to Shiva who chuckled.


    ''''Yeah, she is already at level of Grand Priestess, isn''t she?'''' Shiva rubbed his cheek with a chuckle.


    ''''Then, how does she not know?''''


    ''''The interface doesn''t show?''''


    ''''Hmm, it should show...''''


    Shiva dryly chuckled, and gave his theory, ''''Maybe she is this powerful as an ordinary Priestess.''''


    ''''Impossible...'''' Zeus wanted to say, but this Whitelock family was giving him the creeps. Isaac, the first yer to defeat God, and now his little sister, a yer who could use the power of time without special ss.


    ''''Priest ss is strange.'''' Shiva said, and shrugged, ''''I always thought it was strange. It is a ss that allows you tomunicate with Gods, and borrow power from them.''''


    ''''Borrow power needs to go on two-ways. The priest can''t borrow power if God doesn''t allow it so.''''


    Shiva, and Zeus turned to each other, their eyes widening.


    ''''There is only one God with time-rted powers...'''' Zeus gulped, ''''My father... Chronos, a Primordial God, allowed human to borrow his powers?''''


    ''''So, he chose her... but why?''''


    ...


    Doppelg?nger jumped out of the wall with disheveled hair. He looked at Alice with creased brows. Then, heunched forward, and mmed his fist into her cheek. Bam! With her head twisted to the side, Alice fell to the ground in agonizing pain. It was like a car hit her.


    However, she couldn''t let any sound out as all the air left her lungs. Only tears flew as she hugged her body.


    ''''Shit.'''' Doppelg?nger patted the dust off his clothing, then turned back to Alice, and as he was about to kick, his body froze.


    He spun around in a hurry, and saw a ginger-haired man looking at him with no emotion. Amour climbed out of the debris, and with Diana, angrily attacked Doppelg?nger. He effortlessly backhanded Diana, shoving her to the side, and blocked Amour''s rageful strike.


    However, Doppelg?nger couldn''t properly concentrate as Zachary''s gaze was locked at him. It was like a God looking down at human.


    Then, a voice rang in his ears, ''''Who might you be... you aren''t Underlord.''''


    Doppelg?nger gritted his teeth, grabbed Amour''s face, and threw him away. Then, he lunged toward Zachary, and shouted, ''''Quiet!''''


    Zachary suddenly felt like his body was being crushed inside down. Doppelg?nger swiped his hand left, and right, then counterclockwise. The invisible walls engulfed the ginger-haired man, and it looked it was trying to crush a watermelon.


    ''''Oooofff!'''' Zachary had hard time breathing, and could tell that Doppelg?nger was trying to kill him. Then, his gaze turned degree colder as he suddenly vanished, and under astonished expressions of others, he appeared before the reality warper, and smirked, ''''Surprise!''''


    Doppelg?nger grabbed Zachary''s face, trying to crush it. However, the ginger-haired man''s face disappeared along with his entire body. Then, the entire room turned dark with a starry sky. It was like he was floating in the night sky.


    ''''Where?!'''' he looked around the night sky, but couldn''t see his opponent anywhere. Then, the stars exploded around him, and pushed him out of that realm.


    The spectators watched as Doppelg?nger''s body seemed to have been hurt by something, and then was sent flying. As he crashed on the wall, Zachary appeared beside him, grabbed him by his hair, and mmed him into the ground.


    ''''Ugh... what the heck are you?!'''' Doppelg?nger extended his hand toward Zachary, but then again, everything turned dark. He could hear a chilly voice in his mind, almost making his eardrums explode.


    ''''I am Zachary... the Legacy Carrier of Nyx, the Primordial Goddess of Night, and while the Underlord has absolute control of Reality, I have absolute control of Creation.''''


    Doppelg?nger''s eyes widened, then his head exploded. Everyone''s jaw dropped as, in their eyes, the undefeated Underlord, suddenly died, and disappeared.


    Zachary watched as the Doppelg?nger disappeared, and shook his head, ''''Quite weak. Underlord is stronger, and I kind of want to fight him.''''


    In one of the watching rooms, Shiva facepalmed, ''''There was another monster like him? Damn, my great round was ruined!''''

 Chapter ?621 The Rounds Over.

    Chapter ?621 The Round''s Over.


    ''Hmm, what was that?'' Underlord stopped walking in the dream world, and looked around him in confusion. His vision trembled, body quivered, almost as if someone was trying to shake him awake. Then he realized that something happened to the Doppelg?¡ènger.


    ''He died? Impossible!'' He didn''t know that the second round had changed. Hence, he thought he was officially out of the tournament. But then, Erebus'' aged voice exined everything. Afterward, he sighed in relief, and focused his gaze on the dream world.


    He wasn''t far from breaking his chains.


    ...


    Swoosh! Swoosh! The arrows flew as Isaac effortlessly weaved through them. Then, Cecilia arrived next to him, swung her sword horizontally as if she was trying to use the sword as a baseball bat.


    Isaac leaned backward with an incredible feat of athleticism, enough to duck underneath the sword. Then, he straightened his back, and swept legs from underneath Cecilia, causing her to fall onto her back.


    He spun the bo-staff around him, deflected the flying arrows that Darth continued firing, and drove it straight at Cecilia''s face. As the wooden tip neared her face, a steel mace appeared from the side, and flung the bo-staff to the side.


    Isaac''s hand slightly trembled as PrincessHeart came with her mace. Even though she was short, quite petite, she had plenty of power in her reserve. As he staggered to the side, Noelle ran, with a trail of golden lightning following her, and threw a punch.


    Isaac felt the fist''s presence, and flung his body to the side. As he crashed on the ground, and Noelle missed him, PrincessHeart''s small shadow loomed over him as she smashed the mace down. He immediately side-rolled to the left, and jumped to his feet.


    Swoosh! Swoosh! Darth''s arrows followed, each induced with poison. Isaac somersaulted across the air, andnded on top of the throne''s high-end backrest. Everyone had to admire his feat of athleticism and the smoothness of his movements.


    Darth moved his hand over his shoulder, towards his quiver, and tried to grab another arrow. But, it was empty. He had used all his arrows!


    ''''Shit...'''' He couldn''t help but curse, and pulled out a crescent-ded sword. With a trembling body, he joined his teammates in circling the throne. They all warily gazed at Isaac.


    ''''Do you mind helping?!'''' Noelle turned around, and looked at Sorcerer. His cold eyes, gazing beneath the slits of his skull mask, showed no emotion. He didn''t n to help, and watched as others were bncing between life, and death.


    ''''No.'''' Sorcerer replied rudely.


    ...


    The atmosphere turned strange after the sudden disappearance of King Michael. Kalzer effortlessly danced across the floor, and while shing with the spear, heads fell from shoulders, painting the walls in blue blood.


    Tyrion pulled out hisrge-ded saber, and moved over to Kalzer, even though fear had stopped him from doing anything till now. As he approached the dangerous spear-wielding man, he gathered his courage, jumped across the air, and drove his saber at Kalzer''s nape.


    Spurt... but then, Kalzer''s spear, mysteriously, moved backward, and stabbed through Tyrion''s chest. He watched with his mouth agape as the health disappeared from his avatar. Then, with a few rough exhales, and painful inhales, the light disappeared from his eyes, and the avatar disappeared.


    ''''I guess it''s just me, and you...'''' Kalzer turned to a pale-faced Xerxus. The walls were dyed blue, the ground still had wet blood spots, still not dried, and the pixels still floated in the air like leaves, blown away by wind.


    Xerxus'' hand trembled, and as he formed a fist, Kalzer made his move, and stabbed the spear forward repeatedly, again making afterimages.


    Xerxus'' body shed, and he entered his superspeed mode. Even in that state, he noticed how fast the spears were, and could barely dodge them. As he weaved through the spears, and approached Kalzer, he suddenly kicked the ground as hard as possible, and tried to ram through the spear-wielding man.


    However, as soon as he moved as quickly as he could, he found out that his road ended quite suddenly. There was a spear, poking through his chest.


    ''''Eh...'''' Xerxus blinked nkly, and disappeared into pixels. He died, and the winner of the second room was Kalzer!


    Kalzer rested his spear against his shoulder, and rubbed his neck.


    ...


    Isaac fended off the swords, and mmed his foot into Darth''s torso, then he ducked under Cecilia''s de, and backhanded her across the face. However, he couldn''t rx as PrincessHeart, and Noelle appeared behind him.


    As soon as he was about to move, a single voice silenced everyone,


    ''''The second round is officially over!


    ''''The third room defeated Underlord, and the second room''s boss, Kalzer, defeated the yers. Thus, the second team is officially out of the tournament!''''


    ''''Eh, already.'''' Isaac halted his attack, but PrincessHeart didn''t, and smashed her mace across his face.


    Isaac''s face flung to the side, and his vision grew blurry. Noelle, and the rest shouted at the petite woman, asking what she was doing. She innocently shrugged her shoulders, saying that she didn''t hear the announcement.


    Isaac''s grip on the bo-staff tightened, then he whipped his head around, and drove it straight through PrincessHeart''s chest, and heart.


    The atmosphere grew tense as the petite woman coughed out blood, and said, ''''That''s... cheating!''''


    She turned to pixels, and soon found herself in the waiting room.


    ''''Ah...'''' Isaac touched the side of his face that was bleeding. It didn''t hurt much, but it felt ufortable.


    ''''The round is over!'''' Heimdall''s serious voice echoed in the arena, and then everyone was sent out of the arena, and back to their living quarters.


    Isaac plopped down on his soft bed, and shrugged his shoulders. He sat up on the bed, not caring about PrincessHeart any more than he needed to. She thought she could bully him, but she was very mistaken.


    The screen disyed the names of those who were now officially out of the tournament. The most notable ones were Xerxus, Tyrion, King Michael, King Jonathan, and Colossus.


    Everyone was shocked that Xerxus, one of the winning candidates, was officially out of the tournament.

 Chapter 622 The Arrival of Demons.

    Chapter 622 The Arrival of Demons.


    Somewhere in the Four Seasons, Summend.


    The middle-aged mothers watched as their children yed in the yground. Amidughter, they created sand castles, moved back, and forth on the swings, and yed tag. However, one ck-haired boy was alone at the corner of the yground, drawing on the sand.


    His mother discussed something with her neighbor, leaving him alone in his thoughts. However, then the ck-haired boy turned over to the sky, and narrowed his eyes.


    There was a flicker in the space, and somethingrge, asrge as the they were living on, appeared. It was the World of White!


    ''''Mom!'''' He shouted at his mother, who waved her hand, and looked busy as she was talking with the neighbor. Following his shout, the rest of the children turned to the sky, and widened their eyes in amazement.


    ...


    After the second round, the Gods, and Goddesses gathered to discuss the third round. It was nned to be thest event, and now there were more yers in it than intended. In total, there are 34 yers, and somehow, they have to decide the best way to finish this.


    At that moment, everyone''s thoughts disappeared, and everyone turned their gazes out of the oriel window. They felt appearance of something terrible...


    Shiva, Zeus, and Odin jumped to their feet. They felt it, the Veil of Illusion had disappeared!


    ''''What is happening?!''''


    ''''I-Is it Veil of Illusion?! Why did it disappear?''''


    ''''Oh no...''''


    The Gods, and Goddesses, first time in a long while, panicked like humans!


    Shiva, and Zeus dashed across the Moon City, and appeared outside the moon. They saw the flickering world, which soon became real. The veil of illusion vanished like a fleeting cloud, like it never even existed.


    Their eyes showed terror, fear, and all of the same ss.


    Zeus turned to the moon with despairing expression, ''''W-We should... prepare.''''


    Shiva''s heavy gaze turned to the world of white as he said, ''''Prepare for evacuation. We lost World of White. We are not ready.''''


    Zeus nodded, and felt hundreds of Gods, and Goddesses disappearing from the Moon City. They returned to the God City, and started the evacuation, which they nned a long time ago. The evacuation of the whole would ur, and everyone would move to thest ce in the universe that was safe.


    World of Four Seasons.


    ...


    God, sitting in his silver pce on top of the World of Four Seasons, suddenly looked solemn. He sighed, stood up, and moved over to the lever that stood in the middle of the pce. As he pulled it down, illusionary dome appeared around the world, covering it like beautfiul cocoon.


    They had nned this for long time, and if they failed to prepare humanity in time, they would abandon the World of White, and move over to Four Seasons. However, they never expected this to happen. They should have had much more time!


    ...


    Shiva, Zeus, and Odin appeared in Zeus'' pce, and moved straight down to the pce. Then, they noticed dead Archangel, missing his wings.


    ''''Michael...'''' Zeus gritted his teeth, and flew staight down to the basement, followed by two other Supreme Gods. They then saw a dead Hephaestus, and a broken door with the Veil of Illusion missing.


    ''''Who did this?!'''' Odin shouted in anger.


    ''''Demons did this...'''' Shiva said while looking at Hephaestus''s mutted corpse, ''''They shouldn''t have been here... how did we miss this?''''


    ''''Shit!'''' Zeus mmed his fist on the granite wall. His face looked like it aged rapidly, ''''It''s over...''''


    ''''It''s not over yet!'''' Shiva shouted, and turned to Odin, ''''Go to Moon City, and evacuate them before the demons arrive.''''


    Odin nodded, and flew out of the basement in a hurry.


    ...


    A sole ship appeared from Mars. It saw the distant moon on the faraway horizon. The demons cheered as they appeared to be the first ones there, and on themand deck, was a terrifying-looking demon with sharp, pointy-edged horns.


    He was Garmagello, donned in red robes that looked like they were dripping with blood.


    ''''Let''s move in full speed...''''


    ...


    The Moon City was suddenly in a state of panic, which happened to be recorded by the cameras nted by Legacy Company. The humans were shocked, Inhumans afraid, and the yers confused.


    Isaac left the arena, confused as ever.


    ''What is happening, and what are those looks that the Gods donned?'' Isaac asked to himself as he saw the Gods wearing grim expressions. They looked like they were mourning for something. He quickly followed behind the crowd of Inhumans, they entered City Hall, and in messy lines, went through the portals.


    After stepping through the portals, Isaac noticed the Four Season''s blue sky, and beautifulndscape. Then, there was something that shouldn''t have been there, world covered in cloud, and mist. The World of White!


    ''Seriously, what is happening?!'' Isaac shouted to himself as he looked around. They were somewhere warm, most likely in Summend, and shockingly, Inhumans, and even New-Gen Humans started to appear from the portals, and flocked the streets!


    ''I have to return...'' Isaac felt like something terrible was going to happen. He pressed on the log-out button, and returned on his real-life body.


    He jumped to his feet in his cozy-looking room, ran to the downstairs, and saw his frightened parents looking at the scene.


    ''''What is happening?'''' Hearing a voice, they turned around, and was shocked to see Isaac standing with bewildered expressions.


    None of them knew, but it was something serious, and not a joking matter.


    ...


    ''''Hurry up!'''' Odin shouted as there were still thousands of Inhumans left in the Moon City. As they flocked to the City Hall, suddenly a loud rumble came, and a crimsonser cut straight through the moon, splitting it in half!


    ''''I-Iah!'''' Mona cried out as she lost the grip on her husband''s hand.


    ''''MONA!'''' Iah shouted, and lunged toward his wife, hugging her tightly. Then, the mes spread, engulfing them as the moon cracked in half around them. The thousand Inhumans was soon turned into ice as they started to float into faraway space.


    ''''UGH, no!'''' Odin was thrown out of the moon because of the explosion. He turned to the stars, and saw a demon ship, firingsers which killed thousands of Inhumans in an instant, and at themand deck, Garmagello grinned hideously.

 Chapter ?623 Demon Lord Vs. Supreme God.

    Chapter ?623 Demon Lord Vs. Supreme God.


    ''''No!'''' Goddess Selene''s eyes widened in horror. She was currently in the Summer Realm, helping New-Gen Humans evacuate. The realm portals acted as one-way pathways to the Four Seasons.


    She stood in the tallest building in Superfort, but then felt like her entire body had turned freezing cold. She could feel death... so much death. The moon itself cried till it perished.


    ''''Selene, we need to hurry!'''' A fellow God shouted as he gestured for the New-Gen Humans to enter portals. Superfort was soon empty while the Gods, and Goddesses moved over to the other cities.


    Selene shed tears as she moved through the air. The next destination was Strongrlord, which was heavily popted. However, the Gods, and Goddesses had already started evacuating early.


    ...


    The Four Seasons'' poption suddenly tripled. The whole economic bnce of the world was tipping sideways, and it was impossible to keepwful order as the streets suddenly flocked with unknown people.


    After the panic, and disorder, the worldwide curfew was put in ce. No one could leave their house until all New-Gen Humans, and Inhumans had found a residence to sleep in. Since the poption tripled, it was impossible for everyone to have a proper house to sleep in.


    Thus, they emptied hotels of humans, forcing them to return to their houses if they had one. If their residence was a hotel suite, they may stay. Then, metro stations were emptied, made themfortable enough to stay, and the constructionpanies were busy making thousands of new buildings.


    The busiest was the Winter Realm. The weather was freezing cold, enough for a biting chill to bite into their bones. Thus, they had to hurry.


    After some kind of order was put in ce, everyone felt shocked as they turned to the sky. One of the four moons circling Four Seasons, was destroyed. They saw a crimson-coloredser slicing through the space like a hot knife.


    They all started pondering the possibility of them being attacked. The concept of aliens was still new in their minds, but they had grown numb to the idea that there was life outside the world.


    After the disappearance of Winter Moon, the temperature in the Winter Continent increased, and the water level started rising. The worst thing happened, 10% of Winter Continent surface ended up being covered in frozen water. They desperately needed more time.


    As the weeks went by, they started shipping New-Gen Humans, and Inhumans to other Continents, wherever there was space. All the governments connected, and started working together. However, theycked proper hierarchy. No one knew who they should report then.


    Then, an incident happened on the ind of Picu. The Dark Kings'' corpses littered the ground while the Souldeath army was defeated. The warship moving across the water was smoking while slowly sinking.


    On a small hill, Arthur stood with a silver-handled cane in one hand, and a cigarette in the other. Behind him was the destroyed forest, and the dead Dark Kings. The month was enough for him to surpass them all. How? He underwent a test of power with King Arthur''s guidance, and cleared it with flying colors.


    ''''They failed...'''' He murmured while looking at the sky. The broken moon pieces started appearing in the world''s atmosphere. However, there was a strange barrier surrounding the, which destroyed all the moon pieces.


    The destruction of the moon made him sad, but he also realized that there was no time to waste.


    ''''They must be panicking like headless chickens...'''' He dropped the cigarette, stomped on it, and rubbed his shoe against it. As the fire was quenched, with cane in hand, he walked down the hill while saying, ''''I guess it''s time for me to enter public again...''''


    ...


    Garmagello floated in the starry space, surrounded by the destroyed moon, floating corpses, and behind him was the demon ship.


    Odin, along with a dozen other Gods, faced the demons. Their faces had grown to be solemn, and severe.


    ''This is the worst... Already one of the Demon Lords appeared...'' Odin gritted his teeth, and summoned his spear. Since Gungnir was with Kalzer, it was a new spear made by Hephaestus.


    ''''Hahahaha!'''' Garmagello flew across the space, mmed his fists into the shocked Gods, and killed them in one swift strike. Odin''s eyes shook as he saw the Gods spurting golden blood as they died.


    Odin swung the spear, and blocked Garmagello''s fist. However, it sent him flying backward, straight into the moon rock. However, since the moon rock was one of the hardest materials in the world, it didn''t break easily.


    That also made the demon spaceships far more dangerous. Since theirsers could break through moon rock effortlessly, what if it hit God? Terrifying.


    ''''!'''' Odin quickly ducked as Garmagello''s fist mmed on the moon rock, breaking it in pieces. He quickly moved after the spear-wielding god while throwing his fists. Odin, while dodging, and blocking, could hear the jeering, and taunting from the demons. They were enjoying this.


    ''''Hah, hah, hah, hah!'''' Garmagello''s fists moved in different directions, and mmed into Odin''s backhand, making him drop the spear. Then, he kicked at the weaponless god.


    Odin''s eyes slowly followed the kick, then his eyes glowed in a brilliant golden hue.


    ''''Odinforce!'''' With a roar, he sent Garmagello flying backward. He, however, stabilized him fairly quickly, and turned to Odin with a chuckle. Odin''s hair had turned from gold topletely different. It was like there was a gxy inside his hair as it shone like stars.


    As he snatched the floating spear, he flew over to Garmagello, and repeatedly shed. Garmagello weaved through the spear strikes, but then, Odin''s eyes shone, and Garmagello''s body froze.


    The spear struck Garmagello''s body. It should have went straight through. After all, it was made by Hepheastus. However, Garmagello simply stood like it didn''t even inch.


    Beneath his red robes, hexagon-symboled armor appeared that covered his entire body. It was indestructible!


    ''''Good try, not really.'''' Garmagellompooned as he backhanded Odin across his face. The golden blood stained the surroundings before it froze.

 Chapter 624 Seven Demon Lords of the Heavens.

    Chapter 624 Seven Demon Lords of the Heavens.


    Isaac stood alone in the living room, watching the news unfold. The entire world was in a state of panic, and instability. No one knew what was happening, but everyone saw shes from the space, like there was thunder.


    His parents left for theirpanies, to help the government with their problems. With the help of other wealthy families, they soon managed to create temporary residences for New-Gen, and Inhumans.


    Creak... the door opened, and Luna ran inside. She sighed in relief after seeing Isaac, and headed toward him, ''''Do you have any idea what is happening? I could barelye here. The streets werepletely crowded, and the gate didn''t have any guards. Any idea where they went?''''


    ''''Probably home to their families.'''' Isaac said, and closed the TV. He sighed, ''''We are under attack. Now I might understand the purpose of White Online. Did we fail?''''


    ''''What do you mean?'''' Luna worriedly held his shoulder.


    He shook his head, and said, ''''Return to your family, help them if they need, I have something I have to check.''''


    Luna watched as Isaac slowly stepped up the stairs. Her look was puzzled, ''''Isaac!''''


    ''''Go home, I will visit you soon.'''' Isaac said, and he showed a split-second smile before turning his head away.


    Luna''s face looked worried as she left the mansion. The nearby mansions were empty while everyone watched from their windows at the disoriented streets. The curfew was on, and no one should leave the apartments. However, it wasn''t that hard since there weren''t nearly enoughw enforcers to keep an eye on everyone.


    She left the mansion, fearful at the things that were happening, and it felt like apocalypse was happening. The peaceful world would never be same.


    ...


    Isaac opened his eyes, and spawned in the Autumn Realm, in his apartment. As he left the building, there was no sound. The doors were mmed open, and it looked like everyone was leaving in a great hurry.


    He entered the street, and started to run toward the Fall City. With his great speed, which was twice faster than before, he soon reached the streets. Everything was abandoned as flyers glided across the empty streets.


    There was no soul in sight.


    Isaac ran, and suddenly reached his bookstore. As he entered the indoor, he shouted out Ghost''s name. But didn''t receive an answer. It seemed like he had also fled.


    He left the bookstore, and ran to the Winter Realm Portal. There was no one guarding it. With a stern look, he ran into the Winter Realm Portal, and appeared in the mystifying Winter Realm.


    The cold was incredibly bone biting. However, Isaac could deal with it reasonably well as the pain sensors weren''t that high.


    It was his first time in the Winter Realm, but he didn''t have time to lie back, and enjoy the beautifulndscape. He ran mildly, through the snowy forests, and valleys until he reached an abandoned town. The charcoal still burned strongly in the fireces.


    It was like they left in a hurry.


    Crack...


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac touched his earlobes, and tried to perk his ears. He thought he had heard a soft crack. Soon, it proved to be more than just a mere sound.


    In the sky, a massive crack appeared, swallowing the whole sky. On the other side of the crack was a heavenly-looking city. It was God City. Gods, and Goddesses fled through the sky as the sky behind them turned crimson!


    Outside the misty-clouded world, hundreds... thousands... tens of thousands of spaceships have arrived. They flooded the entire space with their incredible aura.


    Isaac hid behind wooden shack, which was strangely well-built to keep all the cold away. He watched as the Gods, and Goddesses formed another crack, entered through it, and appeared in Autumn Realm.


    The crack to the God Realm was slowly closing. Isaac immediately jumped, broke the ground underneath his feet, and entered through the crack. He appeared in the God Realm, a ce where he had been once before, and focused his gaze on the sky.


    His face paled after seeing the spaceships.


    ''''Who are they...''''


    ...


    Garmagello watched as the spaceships appeared behind him. His grin grew, and turned to Odin. However, his grin soon froze as crack-in-the-space appeared behind Odin. From it stepped army, with heavenly aura.


    Leading the army was Zeus, d in his golden armor. In his tow were hundreds of Gods, and Goddesses, along with a few Legacy Figures.


    One of them was Simo, dressed in his usual white camouge. He didn''t have his mask anymore, so anyone could see his disfigured face. Beside him was Adam, strapping his fists with white cloth, then next to him was King Arthur, Lancelot, Spartacus, King Leonidas, and Miyamoto Musashi.


    After the appearance of strong army, the demons smirked inside the spaceships. Six individuals slowly floated towards them, and appeared beside Garmagello.


    ''''Moah, finally. My fists were getting rusty.'''' Bald-headed demon, with two pointy horns, and dark eyes. His skin was pure red, like he was boiling inside, and his fists looked like they were made for killing.


    He was the Demon Lord of the Sixth Heaven, Tyrannus!


    ''''Whooo, heh.'''' A woman with ck hair, which cascaded down her back, and reached her toes, stood tall. Her skin was pale, barbed tail poked through her lower back. She wore a revealing dress with only enough fabric to cover her breasts, and lower half. The whole outfit was in ck.


    She was the Demon Lord of the Fifth Heaven, Hellc.


    ''''Yawn...'''' A man with a long face, wide nose, and sharp cheekbones yawned while looking across the space. It was like he couldn''t bother to be here. A gray robe donned his unimpressive figure. There were two spiraling horns going through his forehead.


    He was the Demon Lord of the Fourth Heaven, Dukeran.


    ''''Kill? We should kill them, right? Kill, yes, kill, woho!'''' A short-legged man moved his fingers rapidly like he had been shot by an adrenaline shot. His eyes swam around, moving circles in his sockets, and it looked incredibly creepy. His skin was pale, and two horns protruded from his forehead.


    He was the Demon Lord of the Third Heaven, Lycanhowl.


    ''''Let''s finish, and find some pretty ves.'''' A long-tongued man with two horns, and unimpressive brown eyes looked at the scene with curve of lips. As he saw some pretty-looking Goddesses, his lower half started reacting as he started giggling to himself.


    He was the Demon Lord of the Second Heaven, Axcel.


    Then,stly, there was an immensely cold-looking man with no horns. He was the only Demon Lord without horns, but the forehead had signs of there once being horns. He had a long nose bridge, cold-looking eyes, and a sharp gaze. His body was packed with hidden muscles, which were hidden by a white shirt, a ck vest, and thin trousers.


    He was the Demon Lord of the First Heaven, Anti-Social.

 Chapter ?625 Battle of the Speedsters.

    Chapter ?625 Battle of the Speedsters.


    The space, filled with shattered moon, and thousands of spaceships, soon became a battlefield. The demons left the spaceships, and under the orders of the Demon Lords, they flew into the World of White to wreak havoc.


    The Gods didn''t try to stop them. They had faith that everyone had already evacuated. If there were some sad souls that didn''t make it in time, they could only pray for them.


    After half of the demons split. There were still Demon Lords of the Seven Heavens, and an army of tens of thousands of demons. It was a formidable power. There were worlds that couldn''t handle the power of one Demon Lord, let alone seven.


    Tyrannus, the Demon Lord of the Sixth Heaven, floated before the Gods, and nonchntly said, ''''Who shall be my opponent?''''


    His gaze swept past the armored Gods, who wore solemn expressions, and individuals, who seemed like humans. No one made a move, so he made.


    His fingers started smoking, like they were slowly being lit on fire. He slowly moved his hand behind while the smoke increased. Soon, his hand was d in dark smoke. The Gods, and everyone reacted by cing the shieldmen before their army, as protection.


    ''''Demon Smoke!'''' Tyrannus moved, and mmed his open palm on the high shield, which hid the shieldman behind. Once the smoke touched the metal shield, made by Hephaestus himself, a scene that shocked every God appeared. The shield immediately burst into mes, burning the wielder till nothing was left.


    A gap appeared in the shield wall, and Tyrannus saw God Zeus'' solemn face. With his red skin burning strong, Tyrannus leaped across the shields, and raised his hand high. A sphere of fire appeared above him. The heat was agonizing, causing everyone to feel like their bodies were on fire.


    ''''Demon''s Burst of mes.'''' After slowly muttering the spell''s name, he pointed his smoke-d finger towards the army of Gods, and caused the sphere of fire to fly down like a descending sun.


    The lesser Gods screamed, and felt like they were about to be turned into charred ashes. At that moment, a figure wearing ancient armory appeared before the scorching hot me sun.


    His upper-chest was naked, and he wore a helmet, looking like it had a massive mohawk on top, and it covered everything except his face. A powerful-looking face, filled with power, and sternity, wielded his spear, and shield.


    He stabbed the spear into the me sphere, and even when his skin burned, his face didn''t show pain. The sphere of me exploded, and caused the space to sh in the color of yellow for a moment. The armored man''s arms were bulging with muscles, with veins protruding. There was also some burn damage on his chest.


    ''''Oh, who may you--'''' Tyrannus was cut off as the armored man stepped into the space, and moved forward. He didn''t float like others, but instead ran like he was stepping on solid ground. It was apparent to everyone that he was human.


    ''''My name is King Leonidas of Sparta!'''' He shouted, and swung the spear forward. Tyrannus grabbed the de with his bare hands. Then, he corrupted the weapon with dark smoke, and the spear vanished into specks of dirty ash.


    However, King Leonidas immediately pulled out his sword from the scabbard, and shed vertically. Tyrannus blocked the sword, again with bare hands, and coated his other hand with ck smoke. He reached out for Leonidas'' bare chest, trying to kill him immediately.


    Before it could reach, King Leonidas ced the shield as protection, and once the hand touched the shield, before the smoke could make it vanish, he pushed the shield upward, and smacked it across Tyrannus'' face.


    ''''...'''' Tyrannus staggered backward, and his nose had a tiny mark of being attacked. The demons quieted down. Previously, they threw insults, and taunted the Gods. But, now they didn''t dare do that. Otherwise, Tyrannus would kill them if he thought theyughed at him.


    The rest of the Demon Lords watched without speaking a word. Their faces hadn''t had a change of expression ever since the battle started.


    King Leonidas fearlessly stood his ground, and watched as Tyrannus turned his head towards him. There wasn''t any anger or fear. Instead, indifference, like it was a mosquito that just bit him.


    ''''Hmm... hmm...'''' Tyrannus shook his head, ''''You are not worthy of my fists.''''


    King Leonidas put the sword beside his waist, thenunched forward, and shed at Tyrannus'' neck. He effortlessly dodged it by tilting his head backward, then he tried to grab the hand that held the sword. Before managing to do that, Leonidas stepped backward, and stopped his attack.


    Tyrannus grabbed empty space as Leonidas pulled his sword backward. After seeing that, Tyrannus'' eyes had a slight change. He realized that this bare-chested man before him wasn''t taking him seriously.


    ''''Wohohohoho, are you done, can I fight, can I, can I?'''' Lycanhowl, the Demon Lord of the Third Heaven ran circles around Tyrannus. Without waiting for his words, he moved across the space, and rammed through the shield wall.


    His speed was insanely quick!


    The shieldmen flew across the space. Some of them died, while others survived with heavy injuries.


    ''''Fight, fight, fight, wooooo!'''' Lycanhowl''s eyes spun in his sockets, and he again ran. While he was running, everyone seemed to move in slow motion. He ran past the weak-looking Gods, before reachign Zeus. His grin grew as he formed a fist, and punched.


    At that moment, a golden, and silver lightning appeared like a sh of thundrer. Lycanhowl''s fist stopped before Zeus'' face as two fists struck him in the chest. Hermes, and Mercury appeared out of nowhere, and punched thousands times in milli-second.


    Lycanhowl flew thousands of kilometers backward while his thin shirt burst open. His chest smoked, like someone had touched it with a torch. It was only a result of Hermes'', and Mercury''s attacks. After he stopped flying, he turned back to the faraway battle.


    After the smoke cleared, his bare chest had no injuries.


    ''''Ooohohohohohoho, fast, gotta go fast!'''' Lycanhowl''s eyes shed, then he ran at a speed way faster than light. The stars looked like they were moving around him. Hermes, and Mercury looked like they were also moving in slow motion.


    Lycanhowl grabbed them by their different-colored hairs, and with a grin, ran out of the battlefield while dragging them behind him. Within seconds, he ran across the entire system, and flew straight to Saturn''s moon.


    ''''Aaaraghhj!'''' Hermes, and Mercury both screamed in agonizing pain. They only remembered punching Lycanhowl, then appeared in the Saturn''s moon. He was vastly faster than them!


    As they looked down at their bodies, there was a gaping hole in their torsos, and golden blood gushed out like a fountain.


    ''''Hihihihihi, let''s run, let''s run!'''' Lycanhowl''s body trembled, which caused vibrations that slowly cracked the moon.


    ''H-He is... too fast...'' Mercury thought painfully as he slowly fell back to the ground. The light dimmed in his eyes. He was dead.


    ''''M-Mercury!'''' Hermes cried out, but he couldn''t do anything except watch his brother die. The pain on his chest multiplied as result of Mercury''s death. He tried to stood up, but couldn''t. His legs were weak, the blood loss made him feel cold, and Lycanhowl''s presence made him despair.

 Chapter 626 Benefactor.

    Chapter 626 Benefactor.


    Zeus'' eyes saw a sh of silver, and gold lightning before they disappeared.


    ''Hermes, and Mercury?'' He looked around, and couldn''t see a sight of them. He realized they must have started to fight against another speedster. But, knowing the Demon Lord''s strength, he could only hope they would be alright.


    Tyrannus clicked his tongue, then turned to Leonidas, about to fight. However, a hand touched his shoulder, and a voice followed, ''''Enough of this. Let''s unleash the demons.''''


    He turned to the cold-looking man, Anti-Social. Tyrannus nodded, and returned to the other Demon Lords.


    After Anti-Social turned to the Gods, they all unsheathed their weapons. They could feel his strength, frightening even God Zeus. It was miles above Tyrannus'' aura. Anti-Social''s aura was deep, heavy, and vast, like a million gxies.


    ''''Demons, attack.'''' He said casually, and once his words entered the Demon''s ears, they shouted, and flew across the space. The Gods, and Goddesses shouted their battle cry, and attacked the Demons.


    At first, they thought they could defeat the henchmen easily. However, they forgot that there were three ranks, with each Demon having enough power to kill God. Demon Kings, Demon Lords, and finally... Demon Generals!


    Among the army, there were dozens of Demon Generals, and they immediately shredded through the weak Gods, and Goddesses, easily killing them.


    The battlefield turnedrger as the Demons, and Gods started having their own solo battles. The shes, rumbling, and sounds of destruction filled the entire space.


    The tremors could be felt all the way to Four Seasons. The humans could only watch the sky, and wonder what was happening. It was like there was a thunderstorm, with endless thunder. It scared children, frightened the elderly, and made everyone feel like they were living in a nightmare.


    In the God Realm, Isaac hid behind the dpidated building, and watched as Demons entered the God Realm from the sky, and started to look for anyone to kill. However, God Realm was the first to get evacuated. They couldn''t find anyone, but there was one, Isaac.


    ''Shit... are those Demons or what?'' Isaac saw them flying over his head, and wondered aloud. He realized that he shouldn''t be here, and turned to the log-out button. At that moment, he saw a crack appear in the ground.


    Through it went the Demons, shouting about killing, and r*ping. Their jeers filled the air, and Isaac could see the cracks going straight to the Summer Realm.


    Isaac looked at the log-out, and sighed. He closed the interface, then ran to the crack, and hopped down. His vision saw the passing realms, the destroyed cities, and abandoned houses. The demons started infiltrating every ce.


    Isaac went straight to the Summer Realm. Once his vision cleared up, he stood on top of Stronglord''s wall. The streets were empty, and the air was moist. However, then he heard a scream.


    His gaze went to faraway Church, there were Demons flying straight toward it, shouting, and grinning viciously. There were group blocked in the church, the entrance had copsed, and they couldn''t evacuate in time.


    ...


    ''''It will be alright...'''' A gentle-looking brte patted the heads of children, who were cuddled next to her. They all looked frightened as they saw creepy-looking demons, circling the church. They shouted all sorts of terrible things, and wanted them to feel despair.


    The brte was a noblewoman, and she should have left the Summer Realm hours ago. However, she knew there were orphans, who would most likely be forgotten. Since she often came here to tell stories, she knew where they were. She found them, hiding underneath beds as the whole sky seemed like it was trembling.


    When they were about to leave, the entrance copsed, and there weren''t any other exits. They tried to break the windows, but they were barred tightly.


    They were trapped here for several hours, until the creepy-looking people appeared from the sky, and they immediately found them. It was like they could smell their fear.


    The demons thennded from the sky, before the blocked entrance. With a swipe of their ws, the debris shed into pieces, and became small stone powder, strewn across the floor. They entered the church, and saw a brte woman, looking scared, hiding behind children behind her back.


    The demons felt their skin twitching as they saw the fearful faces. It gave them an endless amount of pleasure, and they wanted their faces to show more fear, more despair!


    ''''A, look at these scared littlembs... I feel, very tempted to do something horrible.'''' A bronze-skinned demon leaned closer, and licked her lips. His disgusting breath lingered in the air, causing the children to cover their mouths with tears pouring down.


    ''''Don''t touch them!'''' The brte-haired woman stood up, and held her arms wide. Her legs trembled, with fear seeping out of her expression. The demons looked at her, undressing her with their eyes.


    ''''Hmm, we could make you watch. I wonder what kind of expression you would have...'''' The demons sneered, and moved forward. The brte-haired woman''s face fell apart. After there was only a meter distance, the ground suddenly shook.


    ''''Hmm?'''' The demons turned out of the church, thinking that more demons appeared. However... then they saw demons falling from the sky. Their bodies were shredded in half, like they were split in half by a crimsonser or hot knife!


    Crack... One of the barred windows, that couldn''t be broken by the woman, was effortlessly broken by a white-haired man, who jumped through it. He nced at the brte woman with a side nce. At first, only nning to kill the demons without taking a second look at them.


    However, he recognized her. The memories of him being on City Center, after being banned by the merchant stores. He was selling items, looking like a beggar. Then, one gentle noblewoman bought them, and gave him enough money to start his journey.


    Sophia!


    Isaac''s eyes widened in shock. He didn''t expect to see her again, but never forgot his debt. His eyes turned instantly colder as he turned to the demons. They dared to harm his benefactor...


    ''''Hide their eyes!'''' Isaac shouted, while Sophia flinched, and listened. She hid the children in her embrace.


    The demons snorted, and turned to the white-haired man. Then, he vanished before their eyes, and soon all of their heads took a 180-degree turn.


    Their necks twisted like wet rag, when someone was trying to squeeze the water out. The demons died with expressions of disbelief.


    Isaac quickly grabbed the demons, and used Marksman of Space. He appeared above the Stronglord, and threw them towards the crack. Before their corpses entered the crack, Isaac breathed loudly, and froze the bodies with his Icy Shot.


    Then, he formed a fist, and punched through the frozen corpses, shattering them like fragile ss.

 Chapter ?627 The Truth Dawns.

    Chapter ?627 The Truth Dawns.


    Isaded back on top of the church roof. He saw Sophia, with the children, running towards the portal. There were several more demons that appeared from the crack, but he took care of them with one bullet.


    Soon, they entered the portal, and returned to Four Seasons. Like clockwork, the portals soon copsed, stopping Demons from having any way to enter that world.


    ''''How did this happen...'''' Isaac wondered aloud as the smoking pirs reached the sky. It was as if doomsday had arrived.


    He turned around, and saw the faraway neighborhood. His face showed worry as he jumped down the roof,nded on top of a triangr-roofed building, and ran on top of it before jumping to another roof. Running like that took him only ten minutes to reach the neighborhood.


    He soon arrived in Be''s, and his previous residence. Thewn wasn''t cut, and the windows showed dark house. Isaac broke through the door, and looked around the building. It was empty with dust gathered on the furniture. It was like no one had been there for months, even years.


    ''''Be?'''' Isaac spoke aloud, then shouted a little louder. However, there was no one in the building. His brows creased into a frown. This was strange. Did Be move away because it seemed like no one had been there for years?


    At least it seemed that she had escaped Stronglord.


    Isaac entered the living room, and looked at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling. At first, it was still like calm waves. Then, a calm wind breeze appeared, making it swing back, and forth.


    Tap, tap... Footsteps appeared from the doorway. Isaac pulled out Silvercloud, and turned to the figure. A hooded figure, with seemingly female features, stood silently while gazing in his direction. He couldn''t see the face underneath the hood, like it was masked with shadow.


    Isaac ced the finger on the trigger, and stroked it, ''''Who are you?''''


    ''''Wraith...''''


    After hearing the voice, it was clear whose voice it was. Isaac immediately lowered the gun, and asked with a frown, ''''Be, why are you here? You need to leave, now!''''


    Be hung her head low, and said, ''''Can you...e with me?''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Isaac wondered why he was hiding her face, ''''To the portal? I think it copsed, so we need to move to another city.''''


    ''''No... not the portal.'''' Be slowly raised her head, and the hood slid off her face, revealing her horns, and bronze skin, ''''Come with me, to Demon World.''''


    ''''Demon!'''' Isaac raised the gun, and his eyes turned ice-cold, ''''Who are you, and how dare you mimic her form?''''


    ''''It''s me Be.'''' She said while softly smiling, ''''Remember when I gave you your Hexagon Armor?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Isaac looked down at his hidden armor. However, he still couldn''t believe the demon, ''''You are lying.''''


    ''''No, I am not...'''' Be sighed, and raised her hand. As she was about to snap her fingers, she said, ''''I am sorry, but this is for your safety.''''


    Snap... she slowly snapped her fingers, and suddenly Isaac''s eyes widened, and he copsed on the ground like he had lost all control of his body. The Hexagon Armor was wrapped tightly around him and was squeezing him tightly.


    ''''This Hexagon Armor is a creation of the demon race, and we can perfectly control it.'''' Be knelt before fallen Isaac, and gently caressed his cheek, ''''You will forgive me... I know you will.''''


    ''''Be...?'''' Isaac couldn''t believe it. However, inside him, he realized that she was indeed Be, ''''W-Why?''''


    ''''I am a demon spy, whose duty was to destroy the Veil of Illusion, and clear the path for the demon race toe here.'''' Be said, and patted his white hair softly, ''''I can convince the Kings to let you live among us. We could, live like before, with me making food, and you being with me...''''


    ''''Be...'''' Isaac gritted his teeth, and shouted, ''''How could you do that?!''''


    Be slightly flinched, but she expected that reaction, ''''No one can escape demons... With this, at least I might be able to save a few of you. You will realize soon, that Demons are power, they are the order.''''


    ''''I... f*cking hate you!'''' Isaac spoke with hate, and resentment. "Do you have any idea what you did?! I might not understand about Veil of Illusion, but I understand that this attack is because of you! Do you know how many will die because of you?!''''


    ''''I understand...'''' Be sadly smiled, and pressed her forehead against Isaac''s, ''''They would have arrived here. No one could have stopped that. Monthter, a yearter, or two years at max, they would still have arrived here, and it would have ended the same.''''


    Isaac pulled his head away from Be, and shouted, ''''Silvernium!''''


    Silvernium floated away from the holster, and shot through the camouge jacket, and struck the Hexagon Armor. Both his armor, and camouge disappeared, leaving him barechested. Isaac stood up, and backhanded across Be''s face.


    Be''''s head twisted to the side, but no damage was visible. She turned back to Isaac, and said, ''''Please,e with me. I love you, and we could be happy together.''''


    Isaac grabbed her by throat, and shouted, ''''Never!'''' then he threw her through the window.


    Be spun around in the air, andnded on the ground. The corner of her lips curved downward as the sadness filled her. Then, Isaac jumped through the window, and smashed his fist into her face.


    Be stood still, even while the fist crushed into her face. Her sad eyes soon dimmed down before the luster returned. A smile appeared on her face as she said,


    ''''I now know what I need to do. You are currently angry, I get it. But, once you see Dream World, you will love it!'''' Be grabbed Isaac by the arm and said, ''''I will show you. You will love it!''''


    ''What is wrong with her?'' Isaac thought with a frown, ''She isn''t like Be I know... Is this what the term ''Demonification'' means... when they show their real colors.''

 Chapter 628 Isaac Vs. Bella.

    Chapter 628 Isaac Vs. Be.


    Be jumped while holding Isaac by his arm. The ground broke below her as she leaped far into the air. While flying towards the crack, Isaac pulled out Silvercloud, pressed it against Be''s cheek, and fired.


    Bang, bang, bang... he fired, but Be''s head was pushed sideways only slightly.


    ''''Wraith, stop doing that. It tickles, hihi.'''' Be giggled with heartful smile, and flew faster toward the crack. When they were about to enter, Isaac activated Marksman of Space, and re-appeared on top of the church.


    Be entered the crack then noticed theck of weight. She turned down, and widened her eyes in shock. Isaac was missing!


    ''''Come back, we don''t have time to y hide, and seek!'''' She shouted, and flew back down. With her great eyesight, she noticed Isaac holding a lengthy-looking sniper rifle, aiming at her. He fired, and released a loud bullet.


    Be flew over the bullet, and shook her head, ''''Don''t be like that!'''' She flew down, and mmed into the church''s roof.


    Isaac staggered as the roof started crumbling. Be stood before him, and was about to grab his arm. Then, a glow of crimson appeared in Isaac''s eyes. Pulverizer!


    The crimson beam struck Be''s face, pushing him a step backward. Then, she ced the hand before her, and moved forward with a slightly ufortable expression. She appeared before Isaac, then grabbed his arm, and started flying towards the crack in the sky.


    ''''Icy Shot!'''' Isaac blew the cold wind at Be''s hand, and managed to make the grip loosen. After Be lost her grip on his arm, he fell down to the Stronglord.


    ''''THAT''S ENOUGH!'''' Be formed a fist, broke the thinyer of ice, and flew straight down at Isaac. She reached her hand, trying to grab Isaac by shoulder. But then, Isaac''s round pupils turned into vertical pupils with snowke patterns.


    ''''WHITE STORM!''''


    With his mighty shout, the Stronglord was suddenly engulfed in enormous snowstorm. The streets were filled with snow, buildings coated in snow, and the weather decreased rapidly.


    Be crossed her arms, and the strong wind pushed her away from Isaac. She had tond on one of the roofs, and while covering her eyes, she tried to find Isaac amid the snow.


    Then, a presence appeared behind her. She turned her head around, then saw a hand grabbing her face. She didn''t move, and only tried to feel Isaac''s warmth.


    ''''DEATH TOUCH!'''' Isaac activated his level 600 skill, and the roof cracked below their feet.


    Be''s eyes widened as her bronze skin started slowly cracking. She pped Isaac''s hand away, and looked displeased.


    ''''If you won''t stop ying around, I will have to do something I don''t enjoy.''''


    Isaac looked at his hand with a shocked expression. The wrist was snapped in half, and it looked like it was utterly broken.


    ''''Now,e with me.'''' Be tried to grab his arm, but Isaac stepped to the side, activated Death Touch, and backhanded her across the face.


    Be''s head snapped to the side, and small cracks appeared in her cheek. Her soft eyes turned cold. The red eyes shone with a flicker of me as she turned back to Isaac. She was done ying around, and now nned to take Isaac with her with force.


    Her hand shredded through the air, with a fist slowly formed, it went through Isaac''s bare chest, and exited through his body.


    Isaac''s eyes shook rapidly. Without Hexagon Armor, his body was far more essible to damage.


    ''''I am sorry, sorry, sorry.'''' Be''s cold eyes suddenly disappeared, reced by soft eyes. She caressed his cheek, and muttered apologies.


    Isaac spat out blue blood, and sadly muttered, ''''Be... I was worried about you...''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Be heard his voice perfectly. She froze for moment, ''''Y-You were worried about me?''''


    ''''Yes, I was worried that Demon''s managed to capture you or something! You fool!'''' Isaac leaned backward, then headbutted Be.


    Be was flung backward, and crashed into the roof. This time, she felt pain. Isaac hadn''t gone all-out yet!


    Isaac looked at the gaping hole in his chest, and formed fists before tightening his chest. The hole slowly closed up, and his HP stopped dropping. It went from 4605 to 1125.


    Be staggered to her feet, with red blood dropping down her nose, ''''I-I am sorry...''''


    ''''I know you are.'''' Isaac stroked his knuckles, and cracked her neck, ''''But, we are now enemies. I won''t stop until you, and the rest of the demons are dead.''''


    Be lowered her head, hiding her expression. A small red-colored teardrops fell from her eyes, andnded on the roof. She quickly wiped them, and turned to Isaac with a fighting stance, ''''So be it.''''


    Isaac snapped his fingers, and a Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle appeared in his right hand. Be reeled in her fist, twisted her waist, and punched.


    Isaac spun the sniper rifle, and blocked the fist. The impact rocked the roof, breaking it apart, and causing the building to copse. The snow gathered in the streets flew away as the result of two attacks colliding.


    Be kicked the ground, then moved behind Isaac, and punched. She tried to again punch through his body.


    Isaac quickly ced the sniper rifle as a block, and then he jumped backward, and while in the air, he turned to Be, and emptied the chamber.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    Be crossed her arms, and ran through the bullets. They couldn''t prate her bronze skin. She then jumped, and appeared above Isaac with both fists raining down.


    ''''Multi-Eyes + Seismic-Wave!'''' Isaac leaned backward, then ced the sniper rifle''s barrel before Be''s face. He then unleashed Seismic-Wave, and unleashed the earth-breaking shockwave. It struck Be''s face, causing her beautiful hair to be blown backward.


    However, Be managed to stop herself from being sent flying. She covered the barrel, blocked the shockwave, and grabbed Isaac''s leg with her barbed tail. She then, using the tail, sent Isaac crashing down through the ground.


    Crack... Isaac spat out blue blood as he got buried in the concrete ground. Above the ground, in the sky, thousands of small spheres appeared around Be. She pointed at the ground, and muttered, ''''Spheres of Destruction, the Doomsday Clock.''''


    The spheres flew, and as they struck the ground, the ground exploded into smithereens. The buildings fell apart like they were made of y, and the destruction reached the Colosseum, causing even the massive building to fall apart like it was made of fragile ss!


    Inside the ground, Isaac could barely breath as half of his body was blown apart. His HP went straight to one, then his body started slowly healing.


    [White Death Activated]

 Chapter ?629 Demons Strange Feelings.

    Chapter ?629 Demon''s Strange Feelings.


    Be lowered her hand, and heaved a sigh. The destruction of Stronglord created strong emotions within her. It was perhaps the first ce she could call ''''home'''' even though it was only in her fantasies. Now, she destroyed her fantasies alongside Isaac.


    ''''Goodbye Wraith...'''' She murmured, then turned around to leave. She expected the white-haired man to have died. Her heart wrenched, like someone had impaled it with a knife, then twisted it around like a twisted sadist.


    Bang! Out of nowhere, a bleeding hole appeared in her chest, gushing with blood. A blood-stained bullet flew into the faraway distance. She turned around, and saw Isaac standing by the hole, his clothes in rags. The trousers he wore were torn, revealing his long, well-toned legs.


    ''''You are full of surprises...'''' Be murmured, and grabbed her wound. It soon healed as the flesh reconnected like thin strings. She then moved her shoulder backward, and threw a punch. The force of a punch was so powerful that it caused loud boom.


    Boom!


    The air pressure,ing from the punch, flew across the air, and destroyed the ground around Isaac. He didn''t move an inch as the ground around him cracked to pieces.


    Isaac unholstered Silvercloud, aimed at Be, and pulled the trigger. Be stepped to the side, dodged the bullet, then leaped out of the roof, and kicked vertically, like she was trying to mimic an axe, attempting to cut Isaac down.


    Isaac backflipped as the kick destroyed rest of the ground. Hended on top of dimly-lit streetmp. Then he aimed the pistol at Be, coated the bullets in Death Touch, and fired.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Be weaved through the bullets, then thest bullet grazed past her cheek, causing her toe to a halt. The cracks instantly covered half of her face, and it looked like her face was peeling off!


    However, she quickly activated her inhumane demonic healing prowess, and the cracks slowly vanished. She moved her head side to side, trying to loosen her stiff neck muscles. Then, she moved across the street, shed through the streetmp with her palm.


    Isaded on the ground as the cut-in-half streetmpnded next to him. He turned around, and blocked Be''s fist. Her punch again caused a loud, explosive sound. She reeled in her fist, moved her shoulder backward, then punched repeatedly.


    Isaac crossed his arms, and blocked the powerful-sounding punches. His legs slowly trembled as his knees bent. Before Be managed to punch him to the ground, he grabbed her cloak, moved his foot behind her, and tripped her. She lost her footing, then fell back-first to the ground.


    She rolled to the side, avoiding Isaac''s punches. As soon as she could stand up, she did, and punched with both her fists. They shredded through the air while the air was filled with boom, boom, boom, sounds.


    Isaac blocked the first punch with his forearm, then tilted his head to the side to dodge the second, and then punched Be in the face.


    She staggered backward before spitting the blood out of her blood-soaked mouth.


    Isaac made the Mosin-Nagant appear, then aimed at Be, and activated Destruction as he fired.


    ''''Hah!'''' Be mmed her fist into the iing bullet. The Destruction, did, as the name suggested, destroy. Her arm exploded into a bloody mist--the bullet shredded through the arm until the arm was gone all-the-way to her shoulder.


    However, Be kneed Isaac''s torso, and sent him flying across the street. Then, her arm healed with super regeneration. It looked creepy, like her bones, and flesh tissue had be slithering tentacles before forming together as one arm.


    Isaac ced his hands below him, and pushed himself up with a short backflip. His eyes reflected a powerful glow as he kicked the ground, thenunched forward. He arrived before Be, then threw a punch.


    Be blocked the fist, and when she was about to counter-attack, Isaac suddenly kicked her legs, causing a powerful ''''smack'''' sound to reverberate across the air. Her knees slightly buckled underneath her, and she was forced to halt her moves.


    Isaac grabbed her horns, and mmed his knee into her face. Her nose bled as her head got pushed with great force backward. She then was unable to block the next attack as Isaac mmed his fist across her face.


    In each attack, he used Death Touch, and Be could feel it. Her leg started cracking alongside her face.


    Isaac ced his palm before Be''s chest, then formed a fist. The simple movement caused a strange scene. It was like a powerful shockwave appeared as her chest caved in, and blood flowed out of her mouth. It was like she had been hit by a train!


    ''''One-Inch Punch...'''' It was a movement he copied from All-In-One!


    For fun, and experimentation purposes, he tried to copy some of the physical skills of other Legacy Carrier. Most were impossible to learn, but things like One-Inch Punch were doable!


    Also, with his hands, it was even more powerful than the All-In-One''s. They couldn''t be evenpared!


    Be held her chest, and felt dizzy. The constant attacks made her feel weak, and her vision couldn''t help but be blurry. It was like a sudden fog appeared before her, with mysterious-looking figure behind it. The figure had a fluttering white hair, and his face was hidden behind the fog.


    Then, another punchnded on her nose, clearing the vision slightly. Most of her beautiful face was already filled with cracks. She shook her head, and focused her demonic powers into healing. The cracks disappeared, revealing her beautiful face, a confusion stered across it.


    She could defeat Hephaestus with ease, and he was one of the major gods. Now, she couldn''t defeat a human who should be weaker.


    ''Is this because of my love?'' She wondered, and turned to the crack in the sky, ''The demons aren''t made to love. They aren''t supposed to know what it means. We are beings made of hate, and resentment, and if we feel anything else, we be weak.''


    Isaac slowly lowered his hands, and looked at Be with a sad expression, ''''Do you feel any regret?''''


    ''''No...'''' Be heard his voice clearly. It was like it was the only voice in the world, ''''We can''t feel such thing. Regret is not even part of our vocabry.''''

 Chapter 630 The Death of White.

    Chapter 630 The Death of White.


    ''''I see...'''' Isaac sighed, and formed a fist with his right hand. The wind blew gently, signaling the end of their rtionship. They were mortal enemies, and only one would walk away.


    ''''You... realize what would happen if Demons arrive at my home...'''' Isaac looked at her with a slightly colder expression and said, ''''They would ughter, enve, and do all sorts of terrible things to my family. ''''


    ''''Are they that important?'''' Be asked, truly confused, ''''Is family important? Honestly, I never had any, so I wouldn''t know. Are their lives more important than yours?''''


    "That''s the difference between us.'''' Isaac stretched his fist towards the sky, and slowly loosened it. It looked like he was trying to hold the entire sky with his hand. ''''Let''s end this.''''


    ...


    In Four Seasons, at the bustling Snowstar.


    Thepanies belonging to Maxwell, and to other fellow wealthy ones, busied themselves into constructing projects. The New-Gen Humans pulled up their sleeves, and joined the workers into creating the buildings. Thus, with hundreds of hands helping, the speed increased greatly.


    Maxwell stood in the construction area, looking at the humans, and New-Gen Humans working together. It was a sight, no one thought they would ever see. However, there was a lingering fear in the air.


    The sky shed with colors, like a sh of thunder.


    ''''Dad!'''' Maxwell''s ears perked up, and he turned to the side. Alice, Sophia, and Marvin walked from a construction office. They had been there since the morning, watching the news while being with their family. It was scary times, and no one wanted to be alone. They asked Isaac toe with them, he said he had something else to do.


    Mark was at Isabe''s ce, where they created clothes for New-Gen Humans, and Inhumans. Their hands were as busy as construction workers.


    Snowflower family was in the Hospital, along with Richard. Luna helped the injured Inhumans, who got injured while escaping from the Moon. It was pure chaos, and many got scratches, some even proper wounds.


    The same sight could be seen in every city, country, and continent. The fear was apparent in everyone''s eyes, but they tried to push them away, and do something to help. Some managed to do it better than others, and some didn''t have enough willpower to leave theirfy homes.


    The government was doing its best, but they felt like headless chickens about some of the decisions. There were many families trying to get the position of Chairman, and unnecessary politics was included. However, at that moment, Arthur appeared in the Government Headquarters, and with his great charisma, managed to subdue everyone.


    As soon as the news about Arthur, again entering the spotlight, bing the Chairman, without anyone objecting, started slowly fading. His endless charisma, and confidence made everyone feel light in the darkness...


    ...


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Be, and Isaac traded punches as they repeatedly threw their punches. They hit each other in the face, then the body, and finally mmed their heads against each other.


    To tip the bnce, Be used her barbed tail, wrapped it around Isaac''s body, and flung him across a dpidated building. However, Isaac was still in White Death mode, and all swallow wounds get healed immediatley. However, he could feel his concenration slowly slipping.


    His White Death doesn''tst forever!


    Isaac jumped to his feet, then unleashed Pulverizer. The crimson beam cut through the walls that held the ceiling together, and smashed into Be. She crashed onto a brick-made buildings, then flew through three other buildings beforeing to a stop. All her wounds healed immediately after.


    It was never ending battle. Both of them healed instantly!


    Isaac ran through the scorched wall, and rammed into Be, tackling her across another building. The buildings fell apart, throwing dust cloud around.


    Be coughed salive, and hung her head low. Then, she kicked the ground, and impaled Isaac''s body by her long horns!


    ''''Argh!'''' Isaac grabbed her horns, trying to rip her away. But, couldn''t!


    ''''AAAAAAAAAH!'''' Be screamed, and ran through buildings like a mad bull. Her teeth was blood-stained while she screamed till her voice turned hoarse. With Isaac stuck in the horns, she ran till they ended up crashing onto one of the Realm Portals, situated at the center of Stronglord!


    Isaac, with painful face, hammered his fists into her back. The horns cut through his body, splitting his body in half!


    ''''Aaa¡ª'''' His voice paused as two half of his body fell to the ground. Then slowly, his body reconnected with blue blood sucking back into his body, and two sides of his body glued together. He heaved a sigh of relief, but then a despairing notification appeared.


    [White Death Deactivated!]


    His health bar blinked red as it showed only 1 HP.


    Be then appeared behind him, and mmed his head into the concrete. She sighed heavily, and could see Isaac breathing slowly.


    ''''It''s over...'''' Be removed her hand from his neck, and sighed loudly. The sweat drenched her face as the warm sun shone upon her.


    Isaac slowly staggered to his feet, and turned to Be with a dirty face. His heart thumped against his chest, painfully.


    Be turned back to him, and sadly smiled. She then drilled her hand through Isaac''s heart, crushing it.


    ''''Ugh!'''' Isaac coughed out blue blood, and widened his eyes in shock. The vision turned ck, and thest thing he saw was Be''s blood tears.


    [...]


    [You Are Dead!]


    [Legacy of White Death... Returns to the world upon your death!]


    [You''ve lost your legacy!]


    [...]


    The world turned dark as Isaac floated aimlessly in a dark void. His eyes were shut, and his face looked peaceful. The legacy of White Death slowly left his body, left the dark void, and flew back into Simo''s body.


    Outside in the space, Simo''s eyes widened in shock. He felt the disappearance of his legacy. However, his face soon showed a sad smile.


    ''Do not despair. Even though I would have loved my legacy to be known all-around the world, mere Godly Legacy or Mythical Legacy is too small for you...


    ¡­


    Inside the dark void, Isaac''s eyelids slowly opened, and he saw a ethereal-looking flower floating before him. It looked holy, not from this world. Then, ethereal-looking notification appeared, and sweet voice rang in his mind.


    [Legacy Received!]


    [Gaia, The Primordial God of Life, wants you to be her Legacy Carrier!]


    [Legacy: Primordial God of Life]


    [Legacy Rank: Divine]


    [ss: Humanity]


    [ept/Reject]


    ¡­


    Before able to see the notification, Isaac''s vision grew dim, and the voice disappeared from his mind. Without pressing ept or reject, he disappeared from World of White, and reappeared in his real-life body.

 Chapter ?631 The Lost Legacy.

    Chapter ?631 The Lost Legacy.


    ''''Hah!'''' Isaac''s eyes opened with a m. He saw his familiar bedroom, and suddenly felt a wave of coldness sweeping over him. He then remembered that he died in White Online, and lost his legacy...


    With nk, and almost emotionless eyes, he sat up, and looked silently at the white wall. Before, he thought that by losing his legacy, he would only be sad, and get over it in a week or so. However, this feeling was worse than he anticipated. He felt pathetic, like he had betrayed someone''s trust.


    ''Simo... I am sorry.'' He covered his face, and tried to use any of his legacy skills--he couldn''t. He was stronger than an ordinary human, and his vision was way above human capabilities. He could even feel the presence of items near him, but none of his skills worked.


    Everyone had different experiences after dying as a legacy carrier. Some lost all their strength, some became outright crippled, and some kept all their abilities, but couldn''t grow stronger. In Isaac''s case, he couldn''t use any of his skills.


    Isaac revealed his pained face, and bit his lip strong enough to make it bleed. First, some strange demonic creatures attacked, and now everyone was in danger of dying. Then, Be''s betrayal came to light, then she killed him, making him lose his legacy. This, might have been the worst day of his life.


    The incident with Oliver was nothingpared to this.


    Tap... tap... tap... Isaac turned his gaze to the ceiling. A tapping sound rang from the attic, and he knew immediately who caused it. With his depressed look, he stood up, and felt like his knees were being buckled by an invisible force. However, he managed to keep standing, then left the room, and went straight to the attic.


    The cozy-looking attic came into view after opening the hatch. The TV screen mounted on the wooden wall showed the news, where serious-looking people talked. At the windowframe, Snowy Owl stood silently while cold wind blew into the attic.


    ''''Hey...'''' Isaac stroked the owl''s feathers, and closed the window. It was like the Snowy Owl could feel his depression.


    Tap, tap, tap. Isaac looked at the Snowy Owl, who pecked his hand, like it was telling him to pat its feathers. Isaac managed to let out a strained chuckle, and stroked its feather.


    While moving his hand back, and forth in Snowy Owl''s body, he turned to the TV, and watched the News. It showed images of a sh of light. It came from outer space. Everyone was sure that they were being attacked, but no one got confirmation.


    Isaac sighed, and saw that the Snowy Owl turned to the window, looking at its reflection. The Owl wanted to leave. He opened the window, and watched as the Owl glided across the sky, and left. At the same time, he saw the thundering lights coloring the skies in a yellowish, and bluish sheen.


    ''''So, this is World of White...'''' Isaac murmured as he could see the World of White in the distance with his great eyesight. During night it wasn''t that visible. However, at night it was. It also brought wide-spread panic at first, but then scientists found out that it was World of White!


    The ce they had long-awaited to find was finally revealed!


    Isaac closed the windows, then drew the curtains, and sat on a soft pillow while cuddling himself. His gaze never wavered as he looked at the news. However, he had a hard time concentrating. This was the most dangerous time, where humans might perish, and he happened to lose all his power!


    He couldn''t protect anyone anymore!


    ''''Argh... " A sudden headache assaulted Isaac''s mind out of nowhere. A vision of an illusionary flower, then an image of a holographic screen, appeared in his memory. But, they disappeared almost immediately, like a mist.


    ''''What was that...'''' He frowned, and held his head. The headache was gone. Before the vision was gone, he was quite certain that he had heard a voice. A very gentle voice, who called for help...


    Isaac shook his head, and thought he had heard wrong. He expected it was some kind of trauma he suffered from losing his legacy suddenly.


    He then turned his gaze back to the news. There was nothing else on the national TV channels, so he went to Snowstar news. There, he expected to see nothing interesting, but then, the news reported a sudden prison break. At first, it all started with someone called Oliver, who was sent there for attempted murder... after that, a dozen other inmates escaped.


    ''Oliver... attempted murder... don''t tell me!'' Isaac''s face froze. His heart raced, and he immediately pulled out his phone. He checked the news about it, and found the identity of the person. It was Oliver...


    ''''No... no!'''' Isaac held the phone above his head, about to smash it on the floor. However, he managed to calm down, and pocketed his phone. He covered his face with his lips slowly curling downward into a sad smile. With his legacy, he would go instantly after him. But now, he didn''t dare to.


    He felt much weaker, even though he still had most of his physical strength left. But, even those were slowly leaving. He could feel it. His godly strength was leaving his mortal body. The chains might have been broken, but his mortal body couldn''t handle so much strength.


    He might be the strongest person who lost his legacy. It was unknown what kind of effects he would have.


    ''''How did he manage to escape...'''' Isaac thought aloud. He didn''t expect Oliver to be able to perform a prison break. He knew him better than anyone, and he didn''t have that kind of skill set in disposal. Meaning... he must have either worked with someone else, or got help from outside...


    ''''What about Luke, and others...'''' He quickly checked, and soon found that they were still rotting in prison. He sighed a relief, and started searching every news about Oliver. He wanted to see if he could find out where he went...

 Chapter 632 The Death of...

    Chapter 632 The Death of...


    The battle raged in space. The corpses floated, some frozen, and some were about to. Each battle had enough power to shatter a moon.


    God Zeus summoned several lightning bolts, and threw them at hundreds of demons. They were instantly charred to ashes. After killing them, his gaze turned to the rest of the Demon Lords. They were nonchntly watching the battle, as if it wasn''t worth their time.


    Some distance away, Simo weaved through the attacks of demons, and then pulled the trigger, which sent a ray of fire across the space. The demons cried out in agony before turning to ashes.


    ''''Fire Wolves!'''' Simo cried out, and summoned hundreds of fire wolves, who attacked the demons greedily. He had the ability to summon fire creatures, but that wasn''t his entire strength. His true strength lied in his snow-based abilities. He learned some fire skills to bnce his power.


    A few clicks away was a battle between Miyamoto Musashi, and a dark-skinned demon. The demon threw taunts, and insults at his opponent. Miyamoto wore a traditional Japanese outfit, which was in the color of blue with sakura leaves. Two des hung from their scabbards while he weaved through the attacks without drawing his weapons.


    He grabbed the demon by his throat, then snapped it in half, and used his palm as a de as he cut through the demon''s head.


    After seeing the scene, Dukeran finally opened his aged eyes. He saw Miyamoto''s skill, and the sword in his scabbard trembled. There was a powerful opponent nearby!


    ''''Finally, a proper swordsman.'''' Dukeran grinned, and his boredom was long gone. He drew his weapon. It was a Katana with a red hilt.


    Anti-Social turned towards Dukeran with a frown. He then turned to Miyamoto, and turned his gaze back to the battlefield. He never expected Dukeran to be excited. He always sought strong swordsmen, but there was no better swordsman than him among the demon race.


    Thus, knowing that he became excited made Anti-Social increase the threat level of the so-called legacy figures. He expected them to be cannon fodder, but there seemed few stronger than even Gods.


    Miyamoto frowned, and turned around. He saw Dukeran slowly floating toward him.


    ''He is strong. Subarashi!'' Miyamoto grabbed the hilt of his katana, and drew it. It had a hilt in color of ck, and had strange marks. The atmosphere grew as the two figures neared each other. Both raised their katanas, and shed them down.


    The two des shed, and producedrge sparks. Miyamoto''s eyes suddenly shed with amazement. He felt like he had collided with a freight train!


    Dukeran pushed Miyamoto backward, then put the katana before him, and shed repeatedly. Miyamoto blocked the first sh, but was instantly pushed hundred meters backward. Dukeran immediately followed, and continued with shes.


    Miyamoto''s eyes widened, and he desperately parried the strikes instead. The blocking didn''t work, so he had to parry instead!


    However, each parry took arge toll on his hands. The palms were getting injured just by holding the hilt!


    ''''Haaaaa!'''' Miyamoto shouted, and parried repeatedly. His arms looked like illusionary afterimages as he swung the katana as quickly as he could.


    Dukeran moved with a rxed expression. As soon as his strike was parried, he altered the grip slightly, and shed from a different angle. It was his sword style, called Omnisword!


    Miyamoto was suffering under the relentless strikes. He was shocked. He had never fought against a swordsman this strong before!


    He had gotten used to death matches, where one mistake was fatal, and he again felt that feeling, which he thought he had lost a long time ago. A smile crept across Miyamoto''s face as his movements became more fluid. The parries became more urate, and slowly the burden lessened!


    Dukeran was amazed. He could feel that Miyamoto wasn''t feeling as much stress as before. It only meant that he was adapting to his fighting style, and was slowly growing stronger!


    ''''Good, good, good!'''' Dukeran shed with a grin stretched across his face. The de of his katana pushed Miyamoto''s katana away,pletely breaking his stance!


    ''''Not good!'''' Miyamoto saw Dukeran moving the katana into a thrusting stance. He was prepared to finish this in one move!


    Dukeran''s grin grew as heunched forward, and drove the katana forward. Miyamoto''s stance was still in shambles, and he couldn''t move the katana in time to parry. Even if he could, the stance was ruined, and he couldn''t do proper parry!


    Miyamoto''s shocked face slowly turned calmer. His left hand, was touching the hilt of his second de. Since the start of the battle, he hadn''t used both of his hands!


    It was widely known that the katana couldn''t be used properly with one hand. It always needed two hands to properly operate. However, even Dukeran didn''t notice that Miyamoto was only using one hand!


    He drew the second katana, and from a blind angle, shed at Dukeran.


    ''?!'' Dukeran saw the sh of the de. After seeing the second hand using the second katana, he realized that he had fallen into Miyamoto''s trap. ''How I didn''t notice that he only used one hand? I should be able to notice that without any problems! What did this man do?''


    ''''Niten-Ichi Ryu, Dragon Fang!'''' Miyamoto shed, and the katana went through Dukeran''s throat, andpletely severed his head from his body...


    Dukeran''s head flew in the air, and a rxed expression appeared on his face. He had never felt happier than now. This was what swordsmanship was all about. To have a battle where one mistake could cost one''s life. He never managed to use even half of his total strength, but that didn''t matter... he lost.


    The light dimmed from Dukeran''s eyes, and his body grew still.


    Dukeran, Demon Lord of the Fourth Heaven, has died!


    The Demon Lords, and Gods widened their eyes in shock. They never expected this scene to happen!


    The Demons stopped their attacks, and for the first time in their conquest, they felt fear! For the first time since the dawn of time, a Demon Lord has died!


    ''''Whew...'''' Miyamoto slipped the katanas into scabbards, and smiled, ''''That was a good fight.''''

 Chapter ?633 Human Vs. Demon King of the Third Heaven!

    Chapter ?633 Human Vs. Demon King of the Third Heaven!


    God Zeus'' mouth twitched. He wanted tough aloud, but the tense atmosphere didn''t allow him to. The demons retreated and returned to the side of the Demon Lords. Their faces were grim.


    The Gods, Goddesses, and Legacy Figures held their weapons while facing the demons. Most of the lesser gods had some kind of injury¡ªmostly scratches, while some even had arms missing.


    Everyone watched as Dukeran''s head floated in the space with dead and emotionless eyes. He soon disappeared from view, and the World of White''s gravity pulled him towards the mist-covered.


    Swoosh! A sh appeared, and Lycanhowl appeared beside the Demon Lords. He jumped energetically, like death didn''t bother him. However, what shocked everyone was the two heads hanging from his belt. The heads belonged to Mercury and Hermes...


    Zeus'' eyes widened in shock. He drew a breath and sped his hands in a quick prayer. The rest of Gods, and Goddesses did the same.


    ''''...'''' Anti-Social looked at Dukeran''s dead body and turned back to the Gods. His gaze grew colder, and suddenly a sh appeared in his eyes. He was about to use his ability!


    However, then a voice rang in his, and in everyone''s ears... The demons felt energetic and thrilled, while Gods covered their ears in pain.


    ''''Huuu...'''' A ripple appeared in the space. From there, a man stepped out. His hair was ck, darker than darkness itself, and his face was covered by a cold-looking fly mask. It was colored ck. He donned a ck cloak and a hood, which hung from his shoulders. There was a number "3" in the mask.


    ''''Lord Beelzebub!'''' The Demon Lords and all demons prostrated before the great entity. He was Beelzebub, the Demon King of Third Heaven!


    ''Oh no!'' Zeus cried out, and felt an immense amount of pressure. There were only a few who could challenge the Demon King''s strength, and unfortunately, he wasn''t one of them!


    Beelzebub''s gaze lingered past the Gods and Goddesses till itnded on Miyamoto. He looked grave as he held the hilt of his katana.


    Out of nowhere, a pair of illusionary wings unfurled behind Beelzebub. They were almost like flies'' wings. Without anyone noticing a thing, he flew across the space, and appeared before Miyamoto. He was even faster than Lycanhowl!


    Miyamoto''s eye slowly moved, like in slow motion, and he turned to look at Beelzebub''s ck eyes, hidden behind the mask. His hand slowly drew the katana, but it looked like it was happening in slow motion!


    Beelzebub shed with his gloved hand. It looked like the space was being split in half as his hand moved. It was millimeters away from touching Miyamoto. But, at that moment, an illusionary barrier appeared before the samurai, stopping him.


    ''''?'''' Beelzebub frowned and looked in the direction of the World of White. His gaze grew annoyed, and since his superspeed stopped, Miyamoto managed to draw the katana, and this time used both hands as he shed upward, ''''Niten-Ichi Ryu, Dragon''s Breath!''''


    Beelzebub leaned backward and dodged the sword. However, as soon as the katana reached the maximum height, Miyamoto''s eyes widened, and his arm muscles bulged. "Niten-Ichi Ryu, Dragon''s Fang!''''


    The katana shredded through the space, and appeared before Beelzebub. However, the Demon King again effortlessly dodged it. His wings pped rapidly as he suddenly disappeared, appeared behind the samurai, and drove his palm forward. He nned to kill him with one swift strike!


    Miyamoto''s muscles tensed. He felt an immense amount of dangering from behind. He saw the worried looks of Gods, and Goddesses, then the taunting expressions of Demons. Everyone was certain that he wasn''t strong enough to fight against the Demon King.


    Miyamoto''s muscles bulged while his eyes turned serious. He shifted his body to the side as his feet sidestepped. It was extremely fluidly done. Beelzebub''s palm hit nothing but empty air as it grazed past Miyamoto''s body.


    Miyamoto unsheathed his second katana. As he held two katanas in his hands, his aura grew much stronger. It wasmon knowledge that using a katana with a single hand was a difficult feat, and only sword masters could do it. However, Miyamoto was different from others.


    He hadn''t only mastered single-handed sword-wielding, but he had also mastered dual-wielding. The Niten-Ichi Ryu style was specially made for dual-wielding, and in the match against Dukeran, and till now, he had basically fought with a handicap. He was strongest while holding two katanas and using them simultaneously!


    ''''Well then, may I get the name of my opponent?'''' Miyamoto raised the sword in an attack stance while asking for Beelzebub. The Demon King turned to Miyamoto with a cold gaze and didn''t speak a word. Instead, his wings again pped and he moved through the space like a cannonball.


    No one could see him moving, except Lycanhowl, who only barely saw his outline!


    Miyamoto closed his eyes and didn''t trust his eyes. Beelzebub was too strong, and using his eyes might make him weaker. Thus, he trusted in his three senses¡ªsmelling, hearing, and feeling!


    Buzz... buzz... buzz... He heard the immensely loud buzzing sound that came from the wings.


    Miyamoto mmed his eyes open, and used both Katana''s to sh onward. They made an "X" cut in the space as suddenly Beelzebub appeared with his arms crossed as a block. The Katana couldn''t prate his armor!


    Miyamoto immediately closed his eyes, and moved to Beelzebub''s side. He raised the katanas and shed them down. ''''Niten-Ichi Ryu, Dragon''s Two Fangs!''''


    Beelzebub effortlessly moved backward, and dodged the shes. In his eyes, the katanas looked painfully slow, like they were being wielded by a child!


    His gaze grew cold as he was done ying around. His hideous-looking ws poked through his gloves, then he again flew, and appeared before closed-eyed Miyamoto. He shed both hands simultaneously, and already imagined the scene of Miyamoto''s separated body staining the space in his frozen blood.


    As the ws neared, Miyamoto heard the sound of buzzing, and also the disgusting demonic smell. Without opening his eyes, he first stepped to the right, then did a quick backstep, andstly, a step to the left. The ws first missed him by a hair''s length distance, then missed his throat, andst missed his shoulder.


    The Demons, and Gods looked amazed!


    A human was actually fighting against Demon King and survived his attack!

 Chapter 634 Humanitys Strongest Sword Strike!

    Chapter 634 Humanity''s Strongest Sword Strike!


    Miyamoto opened his eyes, and his lips curled into a smile. He stepped forward. Even though there wasn''t a foothold in the empty space, it looked like he was standing on top of something solid. He first shed with a right-handed katana, and could only helplessly watch as Beelzebub dodged it casually.


    He then swung the left-handed katana, and this time Beelzebub flew over him with ridiculous speed. If they were fighting in the World of White, he would be afraid that the wings would send powerful gushes of wind that would destroy the entire realm!


    Beelzebub appeared behind him, and shed towards him with those hideous-looking ws. They looked like they were made of dirt, ck smudge, and bones.


    Miyamoto''s body tensed as he reacted to the attack. He realized that evading wasn''t an option. Thus, he shed with both katanas simultaneously, and struck the ws. However, as soon as the des collided with the bone ws, he realized that his katana couldn''t handle the strike!


    Within milliseconds, he immediately reacted, changed the grip on the katanas, and flicked his wrists. The katanas strangely curved in mid-flight, and shed down at Beelzebub''s wrists, aiming to separate them from his arms!


    ''''Niten-Ichi Ryu, Dragon''s Separation!''''


    Beelzebub halted his attack, and pulled his hands back with incredible speed. The katanas brushed past his body, and cut nothing but empty space. They locked their gazes, and he saw as Miyamoto again closed his eyes, and... smiled?


    ''''?'''' Beelzebub frowned, and turned his head down at the katanas. His eyes slightly widened as the grip had again changed.


    ''''Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'''' Miyamoto''s shout resounded in the space. Usually, voices couldn''t travel across space because the vacuum of space had basically zero air. However, this area around the moon waspletely different. It was basically the ultimate creation of the Gods, and it would allow the atmosphere to be simr to that of an ordinary!


    After Miyamoto''s shout, his muscles bulged, and he shed upward. The katanas looked like a pair of Dragon''s ws, ready to annihte a world and kill gods!


    ''''Niten-Ichi Ryu, Dragon''s Doom Breath!''''


    Cut... Beelzebub evaded the attack. However... a strand of his cloak was cut. There was barely a noticeable cut near the sleeve, but there was one...


    The demons covered their mouths in shock. They were all silenced while the Demon Lords didn''t dare utter a word. Gods, and Goddesses clenched their fists in celebration. They felt like screaming their lungs out. It truly felt like the Demon Kings weren''t unbeatable!


    ''''Hoh...'''' Miyamoto''s face froze, ''''The Godhood feels so far... Even after all this... only the sleeve was cut...''''


    He truly felt like he was stranded in the desert, walking tirelessly with his dry lips, and malnourished body. At times, it was like he could smell the water, then realized it was all a hallucination, and that he still had hundreds of kilometers left till the nearest civilization...


    Beelzebub looked at his sleeve, and his ck eyes closed shut. After opening them again, the ck eyes were now crimson red. He turned to Miyamoto, and backhanded with unbelievable speed.


    Miyamoto ced the katanas as a block desperately, but the backhand sent him flying across thousands of kilometers. His vision swam, and he lost all the feeling in his body. Then, the familiar buzzing sound echoed in his ear, and Beelzebub appeared before him with his crimson eyes showing limitless coldness!


    He reeled in his fist and punched. The air exploded as his fist shredded through the empty space. Miyamoto desperately tilted his body to the side, and the fist missed his body and struck only the empty space. However, hundreds of stars exploded as a result.


    A dark spot appeared in the space as hundreds of stars suddenly disappeared...


    ''''Ugh!'''' Miyamoto pushed himself to move onward. He screamed, and shed with both katanas. Beelzebub weaved through the strikes, and punched with right cross. Again, the air exploded. Miyamoto tilted his head to the left while the fist missed his body.


    He quickly grabbed his katanas, and stabbed them forward. Beelzebub suddenly grabbed the des with his gloved hands. The gloves were cut, and the des started digging into his palms, staining them with crimson blood!


    However, Beelzebub didn''t seem to care as he grabbed them even tighter. The left-handed katana slowly cracked before shattering like a fragile ss!


    Then, the second-handed katana started having dangerous-looking cracks!


    ''''No...'''' Miyamoto knew that if he lost his katanas, he would die thousand times over!


    Withst desperate attempt, he grabbed the katana with both hands, and tried to pull it backward. The de slowly cut through Beelzebub''s palm, and was freed from his terrible grip! Luckily, the blood made his grip weaker, otherwise it would have been impossible feat!


    Beelzebub''s palms bled, and as the blood drops flew further away, they froze.


    ''''I ain''t losing this easily!'''' Miyamoto shouted, and put the katana into a thrusting stance. Even with only one katana, he wasn''t nning on giving up!


    ''''With only one de... you can''t do anything!'''' First time since the fight started, Beelzebub spoke, and he appeared before Miyamoto with a single p of his wings. He formed a fist with his right hand, and punched forward as the air exploded around him. It was the same punch that shattered hundreds of stars!


    ''''Niten-Ichi Ryu, Dragon''s Fang + Dragon''s Breath, Ultimate Combo, Dragon''s Fang Breath!''''


    Miyamoto moved the katana above his hand, then shed it repeatedly downward, and released the strongest sword strike humanity had ever created. It had enough strength to cut throughs, kill gods, and even destroy a whole civilization!


    ''''Haaaaaaaaa!''''


    As the katana, and the punch collided... the space turned dark. The hundreds of stars surrounding them shattered, and faraway Saturn''s moons crumbled into pieces.


    The impact of the fight was even felt on the battlefield, and all the way in Four Seasons... The clouds cleared from the sky, and everyone saw a bright sun shining. However, it was supposed to be night... so where did the lighte from?


    In the battle between Miyamoto, and Beelzebub, a strange light suddenly engulfed them, and millions of kilometers around them...

 Chapter ?635 The Destruction, and Creation.

    Chapter ?635 The Destruction, and Creation.


    The bright light looked like a massive sun that had just exploded. The heat wave spread across the space and scorched the weakest demons till nothing was left of them. The Gods and Goddesses protected the weaker gods, and defended them against the mes.


    Anti-Social waved his palm, and cut through the mes like his palm was a sharp de. The heat started slowly dispersing, and everyone saw that half of the spaceships were gone, just like that. They turned to the scene of the battle, and only one was left standing...


    ''''Huuuu...'''' Beelzebub drew a long breath, and held his burnt arm. His right arm, which he used to punch, was severely burnt, and there was a lengthy sword cut on his right shoulder, gushing with crimson blood!


    However, they started slowly healing. The burnt parts were peeled off by an invisible hand, and new flesh appeared out of nowhere. The wound on his shoulder slowly healed until nothing was left, not even a scar. The right arm''s sleeve was in rags, revealing inhumanly pale skin beneath.


    ''''...'''' Beelzebub straightened his back, and looked down at the burnt corpse before him. The corpse was utterly burnt; the eyes were pitch-ck; the clothes were gone, revealing a charred body, and a cracked katana was tightly stuck in his right hand... The katana was dyed a ming yellow, like it was burning.


    Miyamoto Musashi, The Sword Saint, has died.


    ''''Ah...'''' Gods, and Goddesses eximed in unison. The demons immediately erupted intoughter and started shouting their usual insults, and profanities. The victory belonged to the Demon Race!


    With a few ps of his wings, Beelzebub appeared back on the battlefield. His immense pressure brought lesser Gods to their knees.


    ''''R-Retreat.'''' Zeus whispered at first before shouting, ''''Retreat!''''


    Gods, and Goddesses reacted by creating a portal. As the thousands of Gods, and Goddesses jumped into the portal, alongside legacy figures, the Demons roared, and started attacking.


    Zeus unleashed his lightning bolt, and destroyed a hundred demons within an instant. However, then Anti-Social appeared before him, his palm shredding through the space.


    Zeus gritted his teeth, and struck the pale palm with the lightning bolt. As the lightning raged in the space, the lightning bolt suddenly started cracking before it disappeared!


    ''''?!'''' Zeus'' eyes widened in shock as his lightning bolt disappeared into the thin air.


    Anti-Social formed a sword-like stance with his palm, and shed horizontally. When the palm moved, it looked like the entire space was getting split in half. It looked incredibly dangerous.


    Zeus raised his arms, and coated them with lightning. However, he knew that he couldn''t defend against that strike. However, as soon as the palm arrived within a meter away, a sudden barrier appeared before him, which blocked the palm.


    ''''...'''' Beelzebub turned to the World of White with annoyance. There was a powerful individual trying to make things harder for them...


    ''''Split Vertical!'''' Anti-Social shouted, and the sudden barrier was split vertically in half. He immediately formed a fist with his left, and punched toward Zeus. However, this time, hundreds of miniature barriers appeared before him, and even though the punch ''''split'''' fifty barriers, there were still fifty left!


    Zeus used this as a chance, and retreated into the barrier. He was thest one to leave the battlefield, and the portal immediately closed behind him.


    ''''I am sorry, I let him escape.'''' Anti-Social turned to Beelzebub, and prostrated humbly.


    ''''That was inevitable.'''' Beelzebub said, and turned to the World of White, ''''Make this our headquarters. There are some hidden entities still hiding there, but I will go take care of them.''''


    ''''Yes, Lord!'''' Anti-Social rose to his feet, and gestured for the demons to move over to the World of White. While flying towards the cloud-covered, they turned to the faraway Four Seasons with greedy expressions. That was their final goal, and they wouldn''t let anyone stop them from achieving it.


    Beelzebub flew into the World of White faster than anyone else, and he flew across the God Realm. The ground below him cracked, and the buildings crumbled as a result of his flying. Then, he arrived at a small hill, where one withered tree stood, and a blue-skinned man was sitting next to it.


    ''''Who are you?'''' Beelzebub asked rudely. This was the man who stopped him from killing Miyamoto instantly, and had to suffer some damage. He was also the one who saved Zeus'' life just now.


    ''''Shiva, Primordial God of Destruction.'''' Shiva replied while his third eye opened on his forehead. A heavy atmosphere fell on the God Realm, and the hill started slowly crumbling under his aura.


    ''''Primordial...'''' Beelzebub''s gaze turned serious. Lucifer, Demon King of the First Heaven, warned them about Primordial''s. They were apparently the only ones strong enough to fight against them.


    Shiva slowly rose to his feet, and inhaled the fresh air into his lungs onest time. The God Realm''s beautifulndscape stretched to the horizon, and he was sad to know it was perhaps thest time he saw it. The Demons were always meant to destroy everything beautiful.


    Beelzebub''s right hand slowly turned into a fist. His wings rxed for a moment before the ever-familiar buzzing sound appeared. Within 0.0000000001 seconds, he appeared behind Shiva, and pushed his fist towards the back, where Shiva''s heart was located.


    However, before the moment of contact, a durable barrier appeared, but Beelzebub''s fist went effortlessly through. But, that slowed down the speed of his punch by 0.0000000002, which gave enough time for Shiva to step aside and dodge the punch.


    Smack... Shiva''s right fist flew, andnded on Beelzebub''s cheek. The force of the punch caused the air to explode, and sent the Demon King flying across the heavens. His figure flew like uncontroble cannonball. However, the strength of Beelzebub''s wings allowed him toe to instant spot, but was already thousands of kilometers away.


    However, that didn''t matter in the fight between two deities.


    With a single step, Shiva appeared before him, andnded a quick uppercut on Beelzebub''s jaw. That sent him flying out of the World of White. Shiva quickly followed behind while his third eye glowed.


    The space around Beelzebub tightened, like he was being hugged by the entire universe. Shiva was trying to destroy his body with his power of destruction, and creation!


    ''''HAAAAAAAAAA!'''' Beelzebub screamed, and punched a hole in the strange nket of space, and escaped the peril. After space returned to its ordinary state, a ck void of space appeared trillions of kilometers away. It slowly formed into a ck hole which sucked in every star, and nearby.

 Chapter 636 Revolutionary.

    Chapter 636 Revolutionary.


    Four Seasons, somewhere in Wintend.


    Isaac stood on top of a snowy hill. A snow-covered tree was standing proudly on his left side, and there was a deep snow valley below the hill. In the distance was an octagon-shaped prison. It was watched over by four tall watchtowers, and thendscape was dyed in white, and gray.


    It was the prison where Oliver was before he escaped. He used all of his strength to run here, which took more than he anticipated. His powers were slowly leaving him, and he wondered whether he would lose all his strength after a week.


    Whenever Isaac concentrated his hearing on the prison, he heard the shouting of prison guards, and inmates. The prison was in a state of chaos after the sessful escapes of other prisoners, and now that the world was in a constant state of panic, it was rather dangerous times.


    The prison guards obviously had no motivation to stay behind to guard the scumbag prisons, and wanted to return to their families to ensure their safety.


    Isaac focused his gaze on a small town on the south-east side of the prison. There was only one road that led from prison to the town, and yet Oliver somehow escaped. It made him certain that someone helped him.


    He suddenly jumped off the hill, and started running down the steep hill. His speed was incredible, even after losing most of his powers. He left the valley, and forest soon. The town neared, and he saw ordinary, and cozy-looking buildings with chimneys releasing clouds of smoke into the atmosphere.


    Isaac stopped running once he reached the outskirts of the town. He saw the pedestrians walking with heavy snow clothing, and looked rather nervous, some even scared. The reason for that was soon found as Isaac stopped beside a window of a certain two-bedroom building.


    The news showed the appearance of Gods, and Goddesses¡ªthey looked injured. There were Zeus, Odin, Ares, Apollo, etc, many powerful Gods, and even Humans. Yet, they all looked very exhausted. This made everyone certain that they were under attack!


    ''Simo...'' Isaac saw the white-cloaked figure on the TV, who surprisingly didn''t use his mask.


    Isaac rummaged through his pockets, and found the white mask in his pocket. He covered his eyes, and heaved a sigh. After pocketing it, he continued walking deeper into the town, and slipped his hands into the pockets of his coat.


    After touring through the town, he realized that most families were the families of the prison guards. There were the elderly, and even children among them. Even though thendscape was crude, there was still happiness in the air.


    After half-circling the town, Isaac found a bench, and sat down. He swiped his hair back, revealing his inhumanly handsome face. He tried to ask questions of pedestrians, but they all scurried away from him, except the children, who were dragged away by their mothers.


    ''They don''t treat strangers well...'' He thought, and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. He debated whether he should go speak to Prison Warden. However, he would most likely get thrown out, especially if he asked anything from their escaped inmates.


    While his thoughts drifted away, he felt a hand touching his shoulder. Isaac flinched, and turned around with a frown. He saw a brown-haired man with stubble around his chin, and he wore a fur-coat. His face was flushed with excitement, but then he reigned in that excitement, and looked around warily before sitting down next to Isaac.


    ''''Eh...'''' Isaac looked at the man with a frown, wondering who he was.


    ''''Y-You are Wraith, right?'''' The man suddenly whispered. ''''Isaac... Whitelock, right?''''


    ''''Yes...'''' Isaac hid his surprise. This ce looked like it was in middle of nowhere. To think that someone recognized him...


    ''''I have been waiting for you!'''' The man said with excitement, and quickly covered his mouth. He then tried to speak with less volume in his tone, ''''I mean, I expected you toe here.''''


    ''''Who are you?'''' Isaac asked with a frown. How did the person realize he wasing here?


    ''Is he working with Oliver, and knew I woulde here because of our bad past...'' Isaac frowned, and caressed the grip of his revolver. His interface didn''t work anymore. Thus, he had to find a gun, and he bought a revolver a few months ago. It was for testing purposes to see whether he could use different ss weapons in real-life.


    He could use it, but it was like Precision didn''t work as well with revolvers. It was strange.


    The man, without seeing the revolver, said with happiness, ''''My name is Revolutionary... I mean, that''s my inte nickname!''''


    ''Revolutionary... Revolutionary... where have I heard that name?'' Isaac dug deep into his thoughts until finally he remembered that one post, where person Revolutionary called out a big conspiracy theory. In the end, his theory was quite valid.


    ''''You are that guy who spoke about owners of bigpanies going to Moon alongside Arthur?''''


    ''''T-That''s me!'''' Revolutionary looked around warily, and whispered, ''''I know where Oliver went, and who helped him to escape.''''


    ''''Who!'''' Isaac almost jumped from his seat.


    ''''It was... Sword of Myth!''''


    ''''Them?'''' Isaac frowned, ''''Why?''''


    ''''All-America is very vengeful, it seems. I have been following Sword of Myth''s movement for the past month, until I saw one of their captainsing here. I bribed one of the prison guards, who told me that they met with Oliver. Then, I stayed in the town as an undercover, and woke up during the night as several prisoners escaped.


    ''''Among them was Oliver, and I definitely didn''t think it was a coincidence. Thus, I tracked them until I found Sword of Myth''s headquarters, and it''s surprisingly only two hundred kilometers away from here! They are ying the Government like fools, who think they have already left Winter Continent!''''


    Isaac nodded with understanding, ''All-America is using him as bait... Sigh, can I even beat him in my current form?''


    ''''What are you nning to do?'''' Revolutionary asked with excitement, ''''You are going there to kick ass, right?!''''


    ''''I am not sure...'''' Isaac stood up, and covered the revolver under his coat, ''''I... Don''t think I can beat them.''''


    ''''What do you mean you can''t?'''' Revolutionary frowned, ''''You are as strong as God!''''


    ''''I was as strong...'''' Isaac looked at him, and sighed, ''''Thanks for helping, but you should leave before the Sword of Myth finds you.''''


    ''''I put all my faith in you!'''' Revolutionary stood up with a pale expression, ''''Sword of Myth has already found out about my existence. They will find me, and kill me. Maybe torture me to discover all the stuff I found about them. I trusted that you would go there to annihte them!''''


    ''''I lost my legacy!'''' Isaac shouted. As he saw Revolutionary''s face showing a clear shock, he sighed, and turned around. ''''My power is leaving me. I would die there.''''


    ''''T-Then... use your avatar!'''' Revolutionary''s words stopped him in his tracks. ''''Losing legacy doesn''t give you a one-week penalty. Instead, you can go inside the game right now!''''


    ''''I would need still need legacy, and teleportation pearl to enter real life.'''' Isaac said.


    ''''No, you don''t!'''' Revolutionary walked to him, and said. ''''One guy made a test, whether he would be able to use his avatar in real-life after losing his legacy. He could! So, you only need Teleportation Pearl, and I have one. We can meet in Stronglord, where I will give you the pearl!''''


    Isaac looked at him before sitting back on the bench, ''''I assume you have two VR Helmets avable?''''


    ''''Yup!'''' Revolutionary grinned.

 Chapter ?637 Advocate of Life.

    Chapter ?637 Advocate of Life.


    Isaac followed Revolutionary as they made their way to his humble abode. It was a wooden house with frost-covered windows and a small chimney poking through the middle of the roof. The front steps were covered in ice, so Revolutionary warned him before opening the door.


    Isaac hopped over the ice steps, and entered the cozy-looking building. Revolutionary closed the door, hung his jacket from the clothes rack, and ced his feet into warm slippers.


    There was a brown-striped carpet strewn across the wooden floor, and Isaac could see a firece, with burnt wood inside. Then there was a small kitchen, two bedrooms, and a living room with a small table, couch, and bookshelves.


    ''''Wee to my humble abode.'''' Revolutionary said and grabbed two wooden logs, threw them to the firece, and took a matchstick before lighting it on fire, and throwing it inside. The wooden logs started slowly burning, increasing the cottage''s heat.


    ''''Where did you get this?'''' Isaac asked while taking off his coat, and hanging it in the clothes rag. While looking around the ce, he thought that this wasn''t a ce one could just buy.


    ''''I gave former owners an offer they couldn''t refuse.'''' Revolutionary said with sneaky expression. ''''They wanted to leave this ce, move somewhere warmer. Thendscape is quite crude here anyway, and only the ones who don''t have that much money will stay here.''''


    Isaac nodded with understanding and looked at Revolutionary with expectation. He chuckled after seeing the look, and nodded with understanding. He entered his bedroom and Isaac followed in tow.


    The bedroom was rather simple, with one bed, a bookshelf, a gamp, curtains draped over frost-covered windows, and two Mythical VR Helmets lying on top of a drawer.


    Revolutionary sat on his bed and looked at the radio that sat on the bedside. He flicked a button and opened one of the news channel, expecting to hear some news about the current situation.


    Isaac looked at the Mythical VR Helmet, and was about to touch it, but then they heard the radio.


    ''''Bzzzt... Just now, Legacy Company released an announcement... Bzzt... They told everyone to stay away from White Online... Bzzt... It''s dangerous!''''


    Revolutionary turned to Isaac with surprise. However, he didn''t see a change of expression in the white-haired man''s face.


    ''''D-Did you lose your legacy... because that danger they are talking about?'''' Revolutionary asked with a gulp.


    ''''Does it matter?'''' Isaac grabbed the VR Helmet and turned to Revolutionary. He looked slightly hesitant, but he couldn''t hesitate at times like this. Thus, he drew a cold breath, grabbed the helmet, andy on the bed on his back.


    Isaac found a reclining chair in the corner and sat on it. He ced the helmet on his head and took a deep breath. For the first time in a long while, he entered the game without a legacy... It was a rather strange feeling.

    Somewhere in space, far away, inside a beautiful small


    Gaia opened her beautiful eyes as her silver hair cascaded down her open back. Her beautiful face blossomed into a brilliant smile as she felt her flower had found a new owner.


    ''''ss Humanity... that''s not it.'''' Gaia giggled innocently, and shook her head. She waved her slender and delicate finger. An interface appeared before her. It was Isaac''s.


    [ss: Humanity]


    Gaia was not happy with the name. In her opinion, her sessor deserved a ss name fitting his new status. She pondered for a moment, then smiled and pressed on the ss. Shockingly, a illusionary keyboard appeared before her. She slowly erased ''''Humanity'''' from the ss.


    She could change Isaac''s ss!


    She then started typing with a brilliant smile. Soon, the new name for the ss appeared, and this time, it shone in brilliant gold.


    [ss: Advocate of Life]


    ''''Done!'''' She yelled with a cheer and closed the interface. Then she slowly rose to her feet. Her silver dress outlined her delicate and slender figure. She looked absolutely beautiful and pure.


    Gaia turned to the nk space and smiled. ''''Aether, should we go?''''


    In the space, a handsome blond-haired man appeared. His eyes were like a pair of stars with incredible strength hidden behind them. He gave off a strong and calm temparement. Everyone who met him would feel safe and protected.


    ''''Yes, Gaia.'''' Aether said with a discreet smile. They nned to go to World of Four Seasons and prepare for thest war.


    The Primordial God of Light, Aether Welhenheim, and the Primordial Goddess of Life, Gaia, were officially entering the war!


    ...


    Boom! Boom! Explosions rang in Stronglord as demons tore through the air and sent powerful sphere-like attacks to the ground. The buildings were burning, and the whole city was in ruins.


    In the City Center, a sphere of light appeared. It soon formed into a man, a handsome man with white hair and a glowing pair of eyes.


    Isaac immediately heard the sound of destruction and demonsughter. It was like he had identally entered a warzone.


    However, his focus was soon attracted by the floating letters before his eyes.


    [Wee to the World of White, Advocate of Life!]


    ''''Advocate... of Life?'''' Isaac frowned and suddenly his eyes rounded up. He felt an immense amount of power filling his entire being. It was vastly different from real-life, where he only felt like he was losing power.


    Isaac''s knees buckled and he was forced to kneel. A voices of billions of humans rang in his ears and he could even feel the life signals of demons. At that moment, he felt the presence of every living being in this sr system!


    ''''Ahhhhhhhhhhh!'''' His scream reverberated across all realms. Demons stopped in their tracks and wondered where the shout came from. Be, who had finally reached the God Realm, looked down at the crack that separated all the realms and frowned. The scream sounded familiar...


    Isaac''s scream slowly quieted down and, with thest inch of his power, he managed to open his interface and a shock was ahead of him...

    ¡­


    Isaac slowly closed his eyes, and once he re-opened them, the interface stayed the same. It wasn''t a dream. Almost all his skills had changed, and he wasn''t any more a marksman. Instead, the Advocate of Life, the Protector of all life.


    ''''Isaac, Isaac!'''' Suddenly, a brown-haired man appeared in the distance, running like his feet were on fire. Revolutionary looked around with obvious fear, especially after seeing demons. Now he realized the situation was much more dangerous than before.


    ''''Hurry up, take this!'''' Revolutionary took out a teleportation pearl and stuffed it into Isaac''s hand. ''''Use it so we can get out of here!''''


    Isaac looked at the teleportation pearl, then he chuckled and returned it to the shocked Revolutionary. ''''I don''t need it.''''


    ''''W-What do you mean you don''t need it?!'''' He shouted in disbelief.


    Thud! Thud! Out of nowhere, two bronze-skinned demons descended from the sky, and surrounded them!


    ''''Eeeek!'''' Revolutionary shouted. ''''Isaac, let''s leave!''''


    Isaac looked at his hand and smiled slightly. As the demonsughed menacingly, spreading fear into Revolutionary''s heart, Isaac suddenly raised his hand and murmured,


    ''''Life-Wave.'''' With a wave of the hand, a strong breeze of wind gushed across the Stronglord. The fire died down, and the wind moved like a hurricane, sting across the country. The demons flying in the sky suddenly felt their senses tingling in extreme danger. The danger of death!


    They turned around as the strong breeze caressed their faces¡ªtheir eyes suddenly lost all their lives and their bodies turned incredibly skinny. It was like all the blood had left their bodies!


    Thousands of demons lost their lives and dropped down like flies. The two demons, surrounding Isaac and Revolutionary, couldn''t even move an inch as they copsed on the ground with faces ofughter. They didn''t even realize the danger before they died!


    Isaac frowned and gritted his teeth. His God Eyes allowed him to control Life-Wave enough to not hit Revolutionary. But, he wasn''t just pleased of exterminating Stronglord from demons. He wanted to kill every demon that was in Summer Realm!


    ''''W-What is this?'''' Revolutionary asked with disbelief. He looked at Isaac, who looked like a god!


    ''''Haaaaaaaaaa!'''' Isaac lifted his left arm also, and forced the wind to spread across all continents.


    In Swornword, Demons had already reached the peaceful vige and brought the entire ce to it''s knees. However, there was still vigers left!


    Not everyone was healthy enough to start evacuating and was left behind!


    In a small cottage, elderly woman sat alone in a wheelchair. Her face was pale, and wrinkly. She was expecting the death to embrace her. Then, the door was mmed open, revealing two monstrous-looking demons.


    ''''A-Are you two... the Death Reapers?'''' She asked with almost no power in her voice.


    The demons exchanged nces and smirked. They entered the cottage and licked their lips, in a sadistic manner.


    The Vige Chief building was surrounded by hundreds of demons. Inside, Ian, the Vige Chief, swung his cane and fought against demons. However, his age was weighing him down, and after killing ten demons, his body was hunching down and his knees were buckling.


    ''''I see... this is fine too... maybe, I will be finally able to see my family in the afterlife.'''' He showed a small smile and dropped the cane. The demons opened their jaws andunched forward. Withughter and grins reaching their ears, they attacked Ian.


    However... at that moment, a calm wind breeze flew past the vige.


    The demons frowned and felt a calm breeze caressing their faces, like it was a touch of a delicate woman. However, soon, that touch turned painful and deadly!


    The demons screamed in anguish before copsing on the ground with dead-looking eyes.


    Ian''s eyes widened in shock, but then he smiled and knelt on the ground. ''''Thank you, God of Life.''''


    In the small cottage, the elderly woman was pushed down onto the ground, and the demons grinned viciously while grabbing her clothes. But then, the door swung open and a breeze engulfed them.


    The demons couldn''tprehend what was happening as they slowly copsed on the ground with faces of disbelief. Then, the wind turned calmer... gentler as it touched the elderly woman. Slowly, all her hidden illnesses, and injuries were healed. It was like a work of God!

 Chapter ?639 Isaac Vs. Demi-God Centipede.

    Chapter ?639 Isaac Vs. Demi-God Centipede.


    ''''Haah...'''' Isaac finished the usage of Life-Wave. The whole realm was suddenly covered in a calm breeze, which killed tens of thousands of demons. The wind slowly disappeared, but it still left corpses of demons in it''s path.


    ''''W-What was that?'''' Revolutionary asked with mouth agape.


    Isaac was about to answer, but then a sweet voice rang in his mind.


    ''Advocate of Life...'' Suddenly, strange coordinates appeared in his mind. Isaac instantly knew where the coordinates led, and suddenly he had a desire to go there. It was also a ce he was familiar with...


    Isaac pondered for a moment before nodding after making his decision. ''''Return to real-life for a moment, I have something to do.''''


    ''''D-Did you receive a legacy?'''' Revolutionary asked with a shocked expression. It was the only conclusion he coulde up with. The strength he disyed was unnatural.


    Isaac didn''t answer, instead said. ''''Be on the lookout. If there are any shady-looking people, you haven''t seen before in the vige, inform me via the messaging system.''''


    ''''A-Alright.'''' Revolutionary nodded and opened the interface. Before pressing on the log-out, he turned to Isaac and asked, ''''Will you take long?''''


    ''''I am not sure...'''' Isaac said, and suddenly started to glow in a beautiful green hue. The specks of green light surrounded him, like a warm nket. Revolutionary covered his eyes at the sudden light, and once the light vanished, the white-haired man was gone.


    ...


    Isaac opened his eyes, and looked around the vast valley with a nostalgic expression. At the end of the valley was a destroyed and dpidated vige, with buildings made of wood, and some buildings looked like they were taken from the wild west.


    It was the ce where he fought against the two-kilometer long purple-colored Centipede, and its tail!


    Isaac saw the hole in the ground. It was exactly how he remembered it. He never thought he would return to his ce, but here he was, and the location of the coordinates was beneath the ground...


    As he neared the dark hole, he could feel slight tremors on the ground. Isaac, with one leap, jumped down the hole and descended into the endless darkness like a mad man.


    However, then Isaac concentrated the feeling of strange energy into his legs. The green light flowed down from his heart, and entered his legs. It stopped his descent and allowed him to hover in mid-air!


    Isaac looked forward and couldn''t see anything. It was utterly dark. However, he could feel the presence of a dangerous beast.


    ''''Let there be light.'''' Isaac spread his palms open and small specks of green light left his hands. At first, they were enough to illuminate the area around him. However, then he released millions of tiny green lights and spread them across the underground.


    After a short while, a purple-colored Centipede was seen slithering across the dirty ground. Its spiky armor-like skin was still as dangerous as ever.


    Isaac frowned and looked straight at Centipede''s head, which was a kilometer away, and saw a tall granite door at the end of the underground. It was like the centipede was guarding it!


    ''I don''t remember seeing that door before... Well, it was quite dark and I was busy trying to survive.''


    The Centipede looked straight at the green specs of light. Its massive eyes were as tall as a skyscraper. Its pupils shrank and, using its sense of smell, the centipede slowly turned around and looked straight at faraway Isaac. It was like a scene from a horror movie.


    However, Isaac didn''t flinch. He wasn''t the person from before and was now much stronger and more confident.


    His smile grew slightly as brilliant green light shone from his eyes. ''''Life Decimator!''''


    A powerfulser, in color of brilliant green, lit up the ce with radiant lights. The Centipede''s eye closed with a m. That simple blink was enough to cause a wide-spread shockwave. Then, it opened its enormous mouth. The wind blew rapidly, and it looked like its mouth was the center of an enormous tornado.


    Then, a small purple-colored sphere appeared in the depth of its throat. Slowly, the sphere grew until it was clogging up its mouth. And then, finally, the centipede blew the sphere out of its mouth.


    The sphere glowed purple as it flew over the centipede''s enormous body, going straight towards the iing beam.


    ''''LIFE DECIMATOR!'''' Isaac shouted and increased the strength of his beam. The beautiful greenser increased the speed and shed with the enormous sphere.


    It looked like a smallser colliding with a meteor!


    However, the strength of the two attacks was nearly equal!


    But, not quite equal. The Life Decimator slowly broke through the sphere and shattered it!


    The green beam continued flying and soonnded on the Centipede''s enormous head. The purple skin covering its head was almost immediately shattered and the beam continued flying till Isaac had to close his eyes.


    The green beam flickered before disappearing.


    ''''G..gggrrrrrrrrrrrrr!'''' Centipede''s screech broke the ceiling and caused the rock chips and debris to fly around the dimly-lit underground area. Its face was half-burnt, and the centipede looked like it was in great pain!


    ''''Explorer of Life.'''' Isaac whispered and was again covered by the specks of green light, like a warm nket. He used this skill to appear here instantly. The crazy thing was that it didn''t even have a cooldown. He could move anywhere in the world instantly!


    After the green light disappeared, Isaac appeared above the enormous centipede''s head. He formed a fist with his right hand and punched the centipede in the head without any mercy!


    ''''Destruction!'''' He coated ''''Destruction" in his fist and immediately felt something breaking under his heavy punch. The Centipede''s head slightly cracked before exploding into a shower of purple blood!


    The enormous two-kilometer long body twitched and slithered. It wreaked havoc and broke the long rocky walls. It was looking like the underground area was about to copse!


    ''''Wraith''s Spell.'''' Isaac pointed at the enormous twitching purple-colored body, and a small green sphere appeared on the tip of his finger. ''''Finger Pistol!''''


    ''''Bang!'''' He mimicked the gun sound and fired the ''''Finger Pistol''''. It was his own skill, which he had created for experimentation purposes only.


    The result was more than he expected. The green light tore through the centipede''s body, and the armor couldn''t do anything to stop it.


    After the green light exited the body, the centipede''s body twitched one final time before copsing on the ground. The enormous centipede was officially dead.

 Chapter 640 Present and the past.

    Chapter 640 Present and the past.


    Over a year ago, the enormous Centipede was the stuff of legends and something that could have killed Isaac with a single breath. However, now he had killed it without any effort!


    The Centipede''s strength could be ssified as ''''Demi-God'''' and it was vastly stronger than Baba Yaga. But Isaac had already entered the realm of godhood in terms of strength. The winner was decided before the fight even began!


    Isaac used ''''Explorer of Life'''' and appeared before the enormous granite door. Its towering presence made him feel incredibly small. It was even bigger than the centipede!


    ''''What was that voice and why did it send me here?'''' Isaac wondered and took a step forward. He ced his hands on the granite door and started pushing the enormous door open. It was incredibly heavy, and Isaac was certain that any other yer wouldn''t have any luck opening it!


    However, Isaac''s physical strength was the highest of all the yers. It was quite ironic when, only a year ago, he had one of the worst physical strengths. That caused a smile to creep up on his face as he noticed the door was slowly moving!


    Creak... The dust blew away, causing a dust storm around the tall door. The bottom of the door was dragging through the ground, leaving behind long white scratches.


    After a minute of pushing forward, Isaac noticed that there was a small enough gap to go through. He immediately used ''''Explorer of Life'''' and appeared inside the room. The door instantly closed with a bang.


    The room was pitch-ck. There was no light and the air was very stuffy.


    Isaac covered his nose because it was getting clogged. He raised his free hand and was about to release the speck of lights. However, then the entire room was lit brilliantly.


    ''''What is this ce?'''' He wondered aloud as the entire room was now bright white. However, thenrge bubbles appeared out of thin air--each showing a video recording. Isaac casually walked towards the first bubble, and saw a young Arthur talking with a beautiful silver-haired woman.


    Her face had a gentle smile as Arthur was blushing and fidgeting. He didn''t look anything like the majestic leader of Legacy Company, the one who created White Online.


    Gaia was talking to Arthur, about the creation of a game which would allow humans to travel to other worlds. Arthur thought it was crazy and said it was impossible. However, then Gaia showed her powers, asking if it was really impossible.


    Arthur fell on his butt and looked bbergasted. He thought he was dreaming and that he was about to wake up. Then, Gaia pinched his cheek and giggled with her sweet tone. In the end, she convinced him to build a machine that would allow world travel.


    It took him three years to create the first prototype. It allowed him to see the other world, but even that was a world-changing creation. Gaia, from that day onward, trusted him with her entire heart.


    In the year 2003, Arthur officially started hispany and started to find investors. He sought out all the wealthy families that he could find. Showed them a glimpse of the world, treating it as a game. Even though it looked beautiful, no one was willing to believe that it was going to be anything great.


    There was already an enormous market for video games, and it needed to be something truly incredible.


    In one of the bubbles, Arthur''s discussion with Maxwell was shown. Isaac''s father treated him like he was a mad man and refused. At that time, he was still quite a rascal and didn''t bother to speak nicely.


    Then, the bubbles showed five yearster, Arthur speaking with presidents of a dozen countries. This time, he looked far more confident. He managed to convince them toe to the moon with him. Then, the bubble showed a spaceship going to the moon, and to the presidents'' shock, they entered through a hole in the moon surface, and entered a majestic city!


    They felt like children at that moment and were amazed at every little thing. There, they met Goddesses and Gods. They were nowpletely on Arthur''s side and gave him the best possible resources toplete White Online.


    After two years of that meeting, the White Online trailer was released. It was a world-wide phenomenon, and everyone awaited it with excellent expectations. Two years after that was Alpha Testing, young Kalzer and Amour were seen fighting against weak-looking boars.


    Three years after that, Beta Testing began, and it showed Arawn, Xerxus, Diana, Jonathan, Michael, and even us, fighting against weak-looking beasts.


    Thest bubble then showed the year 2020, five years after beta testing. It showed an image of Arthur, looking tired with ck eyebags underneath his eyes. His employees looked extremely nervous but excited!


    Then, Arthur drew a breath and opened his eyes with a small smile. ''''Open the servers.''''


    After watching thest bubble, Isaac reached the end of the path, and one more bubble appeared from thin air. It showed a white-haired boy, beautiful and delicate-looking, entering the Spawn Dimension.


    Suddenly, a mountain crumbled apart and enormous Dragon appeared. It was World Destroying Dragon, Drakelion. Isaac''s eyes widened as he remembered this perfectly.


    With a single roar, the dragon destroyed all the nearby mountains. Following that roar, ming meteors descended from the sky, coloring it with a crimson sheen.


    The delicate white-haired boy fell on his butt, looking like he was going to die.


    ''''Hmm... could it be?'''' Isaac watched the scene behold, and chuckled while swiping his hair back. ''''I see now...''''


    With a snap of fingers, Mosin-Nagant Sniper Rifle appeared on his hand. He pointed at the soap bubble and smiled as he pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The single bullet entered the soap bubble, and tore through the air, which destroyed all the surrounding meteors. Then, Drakelion opened its massive jaw and released a ming meteor from its mouth.


    However, the bullet effortlessly shredded through the wall of fire, arrived before Drakelion and tore straight through!


    Drakelion''s mad cry echoed across all realms as it suddenly started to p its massive wings and flew away with its massive body barely lifted from the ground.


    Isaac turned to his younger self and gently smiled. ''''Little one, you are still far from this stage... But, maybe one day... I can watch with pride as you are taking down Drakelion with your own hands...''''


    ''Like I just did.'' The rest of the words he kept in his mind and saw the bubble shattering. Behind the bubble, a door appeared, and without further ado, Isaac opened the door and entered.

 Chapter ?641 Demons.

    Chapter ?641 Demons.


    As the door opened, Isaac entered another mysterious room. This time, it showed images of demons and what their arrival meant.


    Isaac walked to the center of the room with thousands of bubbles hovering in the air. The videos showed destruction, families being ripped apart, the slowly getting gued by ck smoke and crimson skies.


    After corrupting one, they would move to another and then to another. Itsted tens of thousands of years, till they didn''t have anything else to conquer. Thus, they focused their attention on areas outside their''s system. Thus, they became widely known as the Gxy Conquering Demons.


    They left behind a pile of bones, dead families, and gueds. The Demon Kings, when walking on the, would bring despair and cmity.


    Isaac held his temples as all the pain, information, and loss of lives were sucked into his brain. It felt like someone was hitting his brain with a sledgehammer.


    That was only one of the bubble''s worth of pain, information, and loss of lives. Once it was done infiltrating Isaac''s brain, he couldn''t even flinch before the second bubble appeared, with even more pain, information, and loss of lives. There were thousands of bubbles left.


    ...


    Revolutionary anxiously paced about in the living room. There was a tiny gap in the curtains, which allowed him to see the street. He wished for Isaac to hurry up and hoped that his bad premonition wouldn''te to true.


    ...


    Somewhere in space...


    Bam! Bam! Bam!


    Two silhouettes moved across the space with immense speed. They didn''t stay in the same spot for even a minute and were already circling around Jupiter.


    Beelzebub reeled in his arm and coated it with strange space cryptics. His hand grabbed the space around him, like it was an actual object. Then, he pulled over the space like a cloak, covering his body with a starry-like robe.


    Shiva appeared before him, his third eye glowing menacingly and his fistsnding on the cloak made of space. Crack. The space cracked in half and suddenly a massive ck hole appeared right beside them!


    The ck hole tried to pull them into it. However, Beelzebub and Shiva continued fighting like it wasn''t even there.


    Beelzebub threw the cloak of space away and moved with his superspeed behind Shiva, and then he punched straight towards Shiva''s spinal cord.


    Shiva could barely see Beelzebub move. However, his reaction time, with his third eye, was more than enough. Even before he attacked, Shiva had already stepped to the side, flipped through the air, and sent a downward kick straight at the Demon King''s neck.


    m! After the kick connected, Beelzebub''s neck was twisted to the side, and it was unnaturally curved. However, his great healing prowess stopped his neck frompletely breaking. After his neck returned to normal, he turned to Shiva, and his eyes shone crimson as he suddenly mmed his two fists against each other.


    His two fists started glowing with spiral-like engravings. Then, his ck cloak started fluttering heavily, and his dark hair was moving upward.


    Shiva frowned and kept his distance. He felt like Beelzebub was about to finally unleash his set of skills. He had so far only fought with his pure strength, but then used a portion of his power to twist the space to act for his cloak.


    Now, however, he was using more than a portion.


    Beelzebub''s crimson eyes turned into a pair of bright stars, and then, the spirals in his hands appeared above the battlefield. They started whirling around, which looked hypnotizing and strange.


    Shiva''s knees suddenly buckled. His eyes widened in shock as he looked around his body. He couldn''t... move!


    It was like he was being held by some invisible chains, but he couldn''t feel them or see them!


    He only knew instinctively that it was impossible to move. As long as the spirals in the air spun, it was impossible to move!


    Beelzebub''s wings pped and he suddenly tore through space as he appeared in front of Shiva. With a clenched fist, he punched Shiva across his face, and then hacked his palm down on his neck. Each attack looked deadly.


    However, Shiva only let out a grunt before again getting punched by Beelzebub. Each attack had intention to kill the Primordial God!


    But then, before the next punch hit him, Shiva''s eyes turned hue colder as he muttered a single word. ''''Destroy.''''


    Crack!


    The spiral cracked in half and then shattered into millions of tiny specks of light!


    Beelzebub''s eyes widened as his fist suddenly cracked and broke! With a single word, Shiva destroyed the unimaginable spiral, capable of making one big armypletely useless and even stopped Beelzebub''s attack.


    ''''You are dangerous. I better take care of you.'''' Shiva said as he pped his two hands together. It was strangely powerful as Beelzebub was suddenly thrown millions of kilometers away.


    Then, Shiva took one step and appeared above Beelzebub''s flying figure. The Demon King quickly used his wings to stop his flight, and then his flesh squirmed, like flesh tentacles, and his broken fist healed.


    ''''Tsk!'''' Beelzebub raised both his fists, the back of his fists showing spiral engraving, and then he struck them both down. The space below him suddenly turned into thousands of spiraling circles.


    Shiva''s body again froze, and this time, the spiraling circles even attacked his body. His skin started slowly twisting, looking like a spiral image was about to form on his chest. However, it looked incredibly dangerous as even his organs started to have the same phenomenon.


    ''''Enough, destroy!'''' He shouted, and all the spirals disappeared into specks of lights. He then pointed a finger at Beelzebub and said, ''''Destroy Third Heaven!''''


    ''''?!'''' Beelzebub''s eyes widened in shock as he suddenly had a massive pain in his heart. In thousands of gxies away, a named ''''Third Heaven'''' suddenly exploded!


    ''''How... did you know where it was?'''' He asked with hate. It was his. There was his entire harem, 1000 beautiful demons and beautiful ves from others. It was also where his pet flies were. They weren''t ordinary flies--they were a size of skyscrapers.


    ''''I don''t need to know.'''' Shiva loftily raised his finger, and said majestically. ''''I shall destroy whom I see fit to be destroyed.''''

 Chapter 642 All Demon Kings.

    Chapter 642 All Demon Kings.


    At the outskirts of Third Heaven System, thousands of spaceships watched in horror as the was suddenly engulfed by sea of mes before exploding. The demons seated inside the spaceships shouted in unison.


    Even though they were demons, unable to feel empathy and love, they still had something they treasured there. They still had some sort of feelings. Now, it was all gone.


    ''''I-It must have been the work of those vermins!'''' A Demon General shouted frommand deck. With enraged expression, he pointed into vast space, and shouted, ''''Onwards, the battle is awaiting for us!''''


    However, not even demon joined with the battlecry. Their gazes were still locked on the windows, with destroyed donning the scenery...


    ...


    Beelzebub''s trembled fist slowly loosened. All of his regret and anger disappeared like a fleeting wind. Then, his eyes widened as he realized what had happened. He turned to a nk space, where a figure appeared, jogging like he was touring through a city.


    ''''?'''' Shiva turned to the strange man who had just appeared. He was innocently smiling as he ran toward them. He had ck hair, a beautiful face, and was quite tall. He donned a red robe, which was quite a strange choice since the rest of him looked quite gentle.


    ''''What are you doing here?'''' Beelzebub said sharply. ''''This is my fight.''''


    ''''Easy now.'''' The man chuckled. ''''We are having a meeting, now.''''


    ''''Now?'''' Beelzebub frowned. ''''Where?''''


    ''''Here.'''' The man pointed below his feet. Then, suddenly, five more figures appeared from thin air. They all possessed endless levels of strength, like they could destroy a celestial universe all by themselves!


    Shiva held his throat since he felt like he couldn''t breathe. It was something he hadn''t felt ever before. It only meant one thing, the final bosses had arrived.


    ''''Ah, we have guest.'''' The gentle-looking man turned to Shiva and smiled as he buckled his knees and bowed. ''''My name is Belphegor, The Demon King of Sixth Heaven. Sorry for my colleagues'' rudeness.''''


    ''As I expected... and these people must be...'' Shiva''s face turned more pale, making his blue skin look more of a light blue, almost like sky.


    ''''God.'''' A short-spoken man hovered in the space. He had a short mustache donning his upper lip, and his skin was light red with unimpressive facial features. He looked like a gangster from 1900s, with short top hat and red suit.


    He was Mammon, the Demon King of Seventh Heaven.


    ''''Let him stay, we are going to have more guests.'''' A long blue-haired man said with droopy eyes. He smelled like salt water, and his skin was covered in blue hide. His eyes were blue, and he had a cold-looking face and pale lips.


    He was Leviathan, the Demon King of Fifth Heaven.


    ''''Ah, I can smell the scent of beauty!'''' A man with an inhumanly handsome face said with a grin. He had two short, sharp horns poking through his forehead, and he donned a beautiful crimson robe. His hair was ck, tied in a ponytail, and he looked like a cultivator from some ancient tales.


    He was Asmodeus, the Demon King of Fourth Heaven.


    ''''Asmodeus, don''t act rash. We are just going to talk with them.'''' A man with blood-red mask said beside him. He had two razor-sharp horns poking through the mask, spreading fear to everyone who saw them. He donned a dark robes with crimson boots.


    He was Satan, the Demon King of Second Heaven.


    ''''Tsk, let''s just take everything with force, like we have done before! Right, Lucifer?'''' Asmodeus turned to thest man, who had yet to make an appearance on the big stage.


    ''''This isn''t the same.'''' Lucifer said. He had long ck eyshes, and with his delicate and beautiful face, he looked almost like a woman. However, his masculine features couldn''t be hidden. Broad shoulders, well-chiseled jawline, and sharp red eyes. He wore a golden-rimmed crown and donned a golden robes over his body.


    He was Lucifer, the Demon King of First Heaven.


    The rest of the Demon Kings turned on Lucifer. What did he mean by not the same?


    Lucifer showed a discreet smile and said. ''''Because, this time, if we go into all-out war, some of us will die.''''


    The Demon Kings showed varied emotions. There was arrogance, and they thought that his words were only to scare them. However, Beelzebub nced at Shiva and was on Lucifer''s side. There were strong people on their enemies'' side.


    Lucifer ced his arms behind his back and turned to Shiva with a smile. ''''Hello, God of Destruction.''''


    The rest of the Demon Kings turned to Shiva. Stared by seven, perhaps the strongest creatures in the entire universe, would make anyone faint. However, he managed to stay calm under the tremendous pressure.


    ''''What happened?'''' Lucifer said and frowned. He could feel a lot loss of life, mostly in demons side.


    ''''He destroyed my.'''' Beelzebub said with a neutral tone. His anger had already disappeared after Belphegor used his ability on him.


    ''''Oh.'''' Lucifer said and stopped caring immediately after. ''''Just choose a new one. Not a big deal.''''


    ''''Let me choose a thousand humans for ves before anyone else.''''


    Lucifer turned to Beelzebub and shrugged his shoulders, ''''Fine.''''


    ''''Hmm, how did he destroy your?'''' Asmodeus asked curiously.


    ''''He has power of destruction. He can only wish it for it to happen and it will.'''' Beelzebub said with a tired expression.


    ''''Oh, that''s dangerous!'''' Belphegor said with a giggle.


    ''''I can destroy all the heavens now, if I want to.'''' Shiva said with a tiny smile. ''''And, I kind of want to.''''


    ''''Tsk, tsk.'''' Belphegor clicked his tongue and opened his mouth. ''''Don''t talk.''''


    ''''?'''' Shiva frowned and tried to talk. However, he couldn''t. It was like his lips were glued!


    ''''Can he destroy things by thinking about it?'''' Belphegor asked while scratching his head. ''''Umm, don''t think about destroying.''''


    Shiva''s eyes widened in shock. All the thoughts about destroying theirs disappeared. However, he still had that thought at the back of his mind, but without properly thinking about it, he couldn''t destroy them!


    Lucifer casually crossed his arms and stared at the gas, Jupiter, while waiting. As the first signs of yawning were about toe, he felt the arrival of several presences.


    ''''They are finally here.''''

 Chapter ?643 Demon Kings and Primordial Gods.

    Chapter ?643 Demon Kings and Primordial Gods.


    From space beyond, ten figures arrived. Six men and four women. After their entrance, the ck hole, created by Shiva''s and Beelzebub''s fight, vanished.


    The Demon Kings stood their ground and fought against the pressure. The massive gas, Jupiter, couldn''t handle the sheer pressure of two opposing forces and was suddenly cut in half!


    The gas vanished, like it was blown away by wind, and the entire started falling apart.


    ''''Wee, wee.'''' Lucifer spread his arms wide and weed them with open arms. He donned a gentle smile, but in the eyes of others, it looked sarcastic.


    ''''Hello.'''' A sweet voice rang in the space. After her appearance, Asmodeus lost his ability to talk and almost could control himself. She had beautiful silver hair, gentle and delicate face. A shiny silver dress donned her tempting body and she had two earrings adorning her cute ears.


    She was Gaia, the Primordial Goddess of Life and Mother of all Life.


    ''''Damn...'''' Asmodeus rubbed his neck and closed his left eye, suddenly trying to look flirtatious. ''''Coming here was worth it after all...''''


    ''''Keep your filthy thoughts to yourself, filthy demon.'''' A sharp voice appeared behind Gaia. It came from muscr man, with dark hair and sharp facial features. A tight shirt and trousers donned his body, outlining his explosive muscles perfectly. His skin looked unbelishmed and almost perfect.


    He was Chronos, the Primordial God of Time.


    ''''Heh.'''' Asmodeus let out a swallow chuckle. However, his eyes weren''t smiling.


    ''''Theyck manners.'''' A man said beside Gaia. He had beautiful blond hair and star-like eyes. His ears were slightly pointy, but it only made him look more exotic.


    He was Aether, the Primordial God of Light.


    Shiva sighed with relief and closed his third eye. The most dangerous aspect was thus sealed, allowing Beelzebub to heave a sigh.


    Beside Aether, an ordinary-looking woman stood tall. She was surprisingly head-taller than Aether and wore a very long blue-colored dress with one strap going over her slender shoulder while the other stayed bare. There were sea engravings in the dress, looking like tidal waves.


    She was Ceto, the Primordial Goddess of the Sea.


    Next to her, a three-meter tall giant of a man whistled innocently as he kept his hands on his trousers'' pockets. He was bare-chested, his eyebrows were bushy and a small stubble adorned his chin.


    He was Uranus, the Primordial God of the Sky.


    ''''Nyan...'''' Everyone''s faces turned strange as a chubby-looking man, wearing diapers, appeared while sitting on top of a cloud. His pupils were pink and heart-shaped, and there was a bow strapped on his back with arrows with a heart-shaped edge.


    He was Eros, the Primordial God of Love.


    Then, a beautifully scary-looking woman stood alone in midsts of stars. Her hair was utter ck, like it could swallow the darkness and her presence was as dark as the night. She had temperament of olddy, but also had her own unique youthfulness.


    She was Nyx, the Primordial Goddess of Night.


    Some distance away, a dark-eyed woman floated above other Primordials. Her presence was definitely the strongest, and she even made Lucifer look slightly more serious. Her face was pale, which gave her an unusual type of beauty and coldness. Her body was quite attractive, with delicate curves and a slender figure.


    She was Chaos, the Primordial God of the Universe and Disorder.


    Lastly, Erebus stood silently, holding his cane with his aged droopy eyes, looking at the demons. Next to him, a ck-haired man with a skinny body stood with his head hung low. His shirt looked like it was oversized when worn by him.


    He was Tartarus, the Primordial God of the Underworld.


    ''''Thank you all foring here.'''' Lucifer said and innocently put his arms before him as a sign of wee. ''''I hope we can have peaceful negotiations.''''


    ''''Negotiations?'''' Chronosughed like it was a good joke. ''''Well then, let''s hear your terms!''''


    Lucifer smiled and said. ''''Surrender, be our ves, and you all shall keep your lives, in the Demon Kingdom.''''


    ''''Hah!'''' Chronos'' muscles bulged as he stopped himself from flying into a rage. ''''That''s same as death!''''


    ''''Not quite. Death is full of mysteries and sometimes the afterlife isn''t the end.''''


    ''''I have heard enough!'''' Chronos stomped forward. However, before he could throw a single arm, Gaia ced her slender arm before him, stopping him from doing anything rash.


    ''''?'''' Chronos looked at the beautiful goddess with a frown.


    Gaia turned to Lucifer and said with an apologetic expression. ''''I am sorry, but we have to refuse.''''


    ''''Oh, too bad.'''' Lucifer scratched his head and sighed. ''''Bloodshed isn''t what I wanted... But, so be it.''''


    He turned around and began to skip away. The rest of Demon Kings waited for moment, ring at Primordial Gods, before turning away and following Lucifer.


    However, then, two Primordial Gods stepped forward and shouted.


    ''''We surrender!''''


    ''''?!'''' Gaia, Chronos, and Aether whipped their heads towards the two Primordial Gods. They couldn''t believe their eyes.


    ''''Oh.'''' Lucifer''s mouth curved upward into a smile. He turned around and saw Erebus and Tartarus, kneeling with their heads hung low.


    ''''Y-You cowards!'''' Chronosunched forward and twisted his waist as he threw a powerful straight punch. The punch flew towards Erebus, and with his sickly-looking body, it looked like he couldn''t survive the attack.


    Then, Tartarus muttered. ''''Tartarus... Gate!''''


    To protect Erebus, a dark skull-adorned metal gate appeared out of nowhere. It was stained by thousands of evil spirits. Their screams echoed in the dark space.


    Bang! Chronos'' punch struck the indestructible metal gate and could only make the doors slightly rattle.


    Erebus lifted his head and revealed a hideous grin. ''''Sorry, but I don''t like being on the losing side.''''


    With a lift of his cane, he and Tartarus floated to the Demon Kings and took their side.


    ''''Wee, wee.'''' Lucifer patted their shoulders and grinned. ''''Erebus, or should I call you, the Demon King of Eight Heaven, and Tartarus, the Demon King of Ninth Heaven.''''


    ''''You honor us.'''' Erebus and Tartarus bowed humbly.

 Chapter 644 Legacy Companys Headquarters.

    Chapter 644 Legacy Company''s Headquarters.


    Chaos floated in the space without expression. She didn''t show her displeasure unlike other Primordial Gods.


    Gaia sighed and held Chronos from his shoulder. ''''Enough, they have already made their mind and they have to live with consequences.''''


    Chronos grabbed his fists and red at the traitors. He wouldn''t stop until both of them were dead.


    ''''Well then. This meeting is over.'''' Lucifer said it like it was an order. He turned his back to the Primordial Gods and stepped forward. With a single step, he disappeared. The rest of the Demon Kings followed him.


    ''We are the frontline of Humanity and Gods army, yet we have already lost two of our members. This is bad.'' Gaia thought solemnly.


    ''''Let''s go. We have things to do.'''' Aether said solemnly. He nodded to them and walked into a void. Soon, Gaia followed him, and Shiva. The rest of the Primordial Gods quickly dispersed and started their own preparations for the uing war.


    ...


    Click, click, click... Revolutionary bit his nails nervously as he looked out of the windows. He hadn''t seen a single soul walking past his house in thest ten minutes. It was rather odd since the sun was still in the sky, even though it was slowly moving in the direction of the west.


    ''Could it be them?'' He thought anxiously. ''Did they already surround this house and are prepared to attack?''


    He looked back and forth, then ran into his room and picked up his phone. In the reclining chair beside him, Isaac was still soundly inside White Online. He hadn''t moved a muscle.


    Revolutionary quickly typed a message to Isaac, which he would see inside the game.


    ''''Hurry up...''''


    ...


    In Legacy Company''s Headquarters.


    Emilia, the temporary CEO of Legacy Company, stood in the main room while thousands of monitors showed videos from different parts of the world. There was wide-spread panic, but the chaos was still kept under wraps. Luckily, Arthur appeared just on time.


    When thinking about him, her heart grew warm, forcing her to calm down her thoughts. The Legacy Company''s employees were rapidly typing on the keyboards. They were controlling White Online''s servers and could even see inside the game.


    The scene shocked them to the core. They saw what the demons were doing and felt sick. They were beings of pure evil.


    Swoosh... suddenly, a pair of ss doors slid open. Emilia half-turned to see who came, but then her eyes grew moist, and without thinking twice, she lunged forward and wrapped the man in a hug.


    ''''Arthur!'''' Her thrilled scream reverberated across the room. The employees immediately turned around. Arthur was already at an equal level of God to them, and even the mention of his name would make their heads turn.


    Arthur looked simr to before, except there weren''t any eyebags under his eyes anymore. He looked healthy and powerful. He had prepared for this day over twenty years and was now in the prime of his life.


    He patted the soft hair of his secretary and turned to his employees with a grin. ''''Hello, ya miss me?''''


    ''''Boss!'''' They cried out in pleasant surprise.


    Emilia wiped her tears and, with flushed cheeks, left the hug. She stood next to Arthur with a giddy expression. The current position felt a thousand times better than the CEO. This was where she should stay, next to Arthur.


    Arthur crossed his arms and looked at the thousand monitors. He heaved a sigh and said. ''''How many yers are online?''''


    ''''Approximately, 112!''''


    ''''I see.'''' Arthur nodded and continued. ''''Bring them up to the monitors.''''


    They did as they were told, and soon most of the monitors turned dark, while only 112 showed videos. There were yers fighting against demons, panicking as they tried to survive. However, they couldn''t survive for much longer, and their death was quite gruesome to watch.


    Even though they couldn''t feel pain, being killed like that would make them feel traumatized.


    The employees grimaced at the sight. Unfortunately, they couldn''t log them out manually.


    ''''Ban them.'''' Arthur said. The employees turned around, wondering if they heard him right.


    Then, Arthur repeated it with closed eyes. ''''Ban everyone who is being attacked.''''


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' They did as they were told, and sixty monitors suddenly turned dark.


    Then, the next 51 monitors showed a strange scene. They all looked to be from the same army, donning ck outfits and skull masks.


    Arthur''s gaze grew cold as he recognized them as the Souldeath Army!


    They were currently lead by Luck Souldeath, the First Son of Souldeath Family. They were anticipating the arrival of demons, and looked surprisingly excited.


    ''''Ban them too.'''' Arthur said with a cold expression.


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' Soon, 51 monitors turned dark. Then, there was only one monitor left. The employees made it bigger and everyone could see a lone white-haired man, kneeling on the ground while having his eyes closed thoughtfully. He was in a room with a lot of bubbles with different camera recordings.


    ''''He is...'''' Arthur''s eyes widened in surprise. That was a secret room, ordered by Gaia to be created. It was one of the few which Arthur could add it to White Online. The rest of the world of white was naturally made, except for this room. This very room was a special creation, something that shouldn''t have belonged there.


    Even though he didn''t know what Gaia put there, it should have been something special.


    ''Isaac...'' Arthur stepped forward and glued his gaze to the monitor.


    ''''Sir, should we ban him too?'''' The employees asked innocently.


    ''''No.'''' Arthur immediately said. ''''Let''s watch...''''


    The employees looked slightly surprised before nodding. Emilia stood beside Arthur and looked at the white-haired man curiously.


    Slid... Then, the pair of ss doors slid open. A beautiful silver-haired woman, a handsome man with striking blond hair, and a blue-skinned man stepped into the room.


    Gaia looked at the monitor with gentle expression. She could barely stop herself from smiling. Her sessor was already there! She expected him to take week or two, but it seemed he already heard the voice, meaning, he was epted as Advocate of Life by the Universe!


    Aether looked at the back of Arthur, filled with emotions. His lips stayed tightly shut. He was unsure what to say.


    ''Hmm, what is he doing there?'' Shiva thought as he looked at Isaac. However, he had a hunch that something magical was about to happen...

 Chapter ?645 Revolutionarys Peril.

    Chapter ?645 Revolutionary''s Peril.


    Arthur scratched the back of his head after feeling an intense stare. He turned around, and to his surprise, he saw a beautiful silver-haired woman--her gaze fixated on the monitor screen.


    ''''Gaia.'''' He bent his knees slightly and bowed in a gentlemanly manner. After hearing him, Emilia and others looked away from the screens and saw three strange individuals, who weren''t here only a moment ago.


    They were shocked at Gaia''s immense beauty, mesmerized by Aether''s eyes while thinking he looked quite simr to Arthur, and then surprised by Shiva''s blue skin. They screamed royalty, and everyone felt an instinctive feeling to bow and show their loyalty.


    ''They are... gods!'' Emilia thought.


    ''''Arthur.'''' Gaia finally looked away from the screen and smiled. Arthur looked at the screen before nodding to his employees. They understood what he meant and closed thest remaining monitor.


    Gaia''s lip slightly twitched because she would have wanted to watch more, but she soon realized that they had some serious stuff to talk about. After all, they just met with the Demon Kings, and two of their fighters betrayed them.


    ''''Let''s go to my office.'''' Arthur said and fixed the wrinkles on his shirt before leaving the room with the gods in tow. Emilia and the rest stayed behind to keep an eye on the White Online servers.


    After arriving at the office, Arthur drew the curtains and looked into the vastndscape of White Paradise. Souldeath and others left this city behind after failing to capture Arthur. They decided to focus their efforts on the ind of Picu.


    ''''Arthur, I am afraid that we have dire news.'''' Gaia said. ''''Erebus and Tartarus betrayed us.''''


    Arthur''s brows creased into a frown. ''''That''s indeed dire news...''''


    ''''We have to gather everyone... It''s soon time.'''' Gaia said. ''''Demons are regrouping, and then they will focus all their efforts on breaking the barrier. The barrier won''tst long, and if they step onto Four Seasons'' soil, everything will be stained with gue.''''


    ''''I understand...'''' Arthur nodded. ''''I shall arrange it.''''


    Gaia nodded softly and turned to Aether. The star-eyed man shook his head, not wanting to expose his identity. The beautiful silver-haired woman sighed.


    ...


    In The God Realm, Zeus'' Destroyed Castle.


    ''''Hmm...'''' Lucifer stood in front of the high-back throne. It was Zeus'' throne, fit for a King of the Gods.


    The rest of the Demon Kings had gathered in the throne room. They were standing silently while engulfing the entire realm with their suffocating presence. The rest of God City had been conquered by demons, and it was now their ce of headquarters.


    Millions of demons were in God City alone, and another million were spread around other realms, searching for anyone. However, the realms were sessfully evacuated, but that didn''t mean that they didn''t find anyone.


    ''''They are here.'''' Lucifer spoke softly and then the throne room''s door was opened. The six Demon Lords of the Heavens had arrived.


    ''''Where is Dukeran?'''' Satan asked with a frown. ''''He shouldn''t bete.''''


    Anti-Social looked at Beelzebub with surprise. He expected him to reveal that one of them died, but after seeing Beelzebub''s confused expression, he realized that he must have forgotten about his death...


    ''''Lord Satan, Dukeran is dead.'''' Anti-Social replied with a solemn expression.


    ''''Oh?'''' Satan''s brow jumped. He turned to Lucifer, who had finally sat down on the throne. He looked nonchnt, like death didn''t matter to him. After all, he already said that even the Demon King could die in this war.


    ''''Which Primordial God killed him?'''' Satan then asked. It only made sense that one of the Primordial Gods did it. In his opinion, there wasn''t anyone else strong enough.


    ''''Well...'''' Anti-Social wiped his sweat while the rest of the Demon Lords stayed quiet. He drew a cold breath and replied, ''''It was a human who killed him.''''


    ''''Human?'''' Satan''s voice had a tinge of coldness and surprise. He knew Anti-Social wouldn''t joke about things like that.


    ''''Dukeran died because he was careless.'''' Lucifer suddenly said from the throne. ''''He would have died sooner orter. I knew he wouldn''tst long with his careless attitude.''''


    Anti-Social bowed humbly and said, ''''You are absolutely right, Lord Lucifer.''''


    ''''What should we do now, Lords?'''' Garmagello asked from the back. He humbly stood with his back straight. In the presence of so many strong demons, he didn''t dare to be any less disrespectful.


    The Demon Kings and Demon Lords were, in a way, the same. The Demon Kings ruled their Heavens, while the Demon Lords handled the cities and demons under them. Thus, Anti-Social was Lucifer''s Chief Commander, and Garmagello was Mammon''s.


    ''''Gather up the army.'''' Lucifer said and leaned on the throne. ''''Summon everyone and prepared the ships. When the next crimson moon dawns, we will attack.''''


    ...


    Revolutionary held his phone in a tight grip while tugging at his hair anxiously. It had been an hour since he sent the message and still hadn''t received a reply.


    There was finally movement outside the building, but it was only a woman, wearing thick fur coat, carrying wooden logs. She, however, nced at the direction of the house and tried to peer into the house. After seeing nothing but dark interior, she clicked her tongue and walked away.


    Revolutionarypletely missed it as he was busy checking his phone. After his battery went below 10%, he closed it and turned to the curtain. He slightly drew it, enough to make a gap and again saw the empty streets.


    It was starting to get weird.


    ''''Maybe if I shake his shoulder he will understand my message...'''' He murmured. He knew Mythical skinsuit had application where the user would know if someone was touching him. In his opinion, it should be enough.


    He stood up and was about to skip to his bedroom. But then, a loud knock rang from the door. A shadow loomed behind the curtain, and it looked shady.


    ''''Gulp...'''' He gulped and sneaked closer to the door. He tried to move the curtains to see who was standing behind the door. But then... the door was broken by a kick.

 Chapter 646 The Reborn Isaac.

    Chapter 646 The Reborn Isaac.


    Bang... A man donning a ck suit stormed into the room. He had the Sword of Myth''s symbol engraved on his shoulder. He held a revolver with a wooden grip and a silver body.


    ''''Ah!'''' Revolutionary fell on his butt as the wooden chips flew across the room. Then, the man turned to him, ced the revolver against his forehead, and ced his finger on the trigger.


    ''''M-Mercy?'''' He asked with sweat drenching his face. His face was pale, like he had been in a freezer for the past hour.


    ''''No mercy for enemies of the Sword.'''' The man said coldly and pulled the trigger. Bang. With a single bullet, Revolutionary''s brains scattered across the walls, staining them in crimson blood.


    The man''s cold eyes didn''t disappear. It was like he had exterminated an insect. He then turned to the open-door room and walked inside. There, he saw a white-haired man, sitting on a reclining chair.


    The man immediately ced a revolver against the VR Helmet and slowly pulled the trigger. Bang. As soon as the bullet left the chamber, the white-haired man''s eyes fluttered slightly.


    ''''Eh?'''' The man''s shocked exmation reverberated in the room. The bullet prated through the helmet but stopped whennding on Isaac''s forehead. The bullet couldn''t prate his durable skin!


    ''''W-What a monster...'''' The man murmured and pulled out a radio from his chest pocket. He connected to the Sword of Myth line and said. ''''I need a Chain Breaker to kill him. Come ASAP. Over''''


    Bzzt... bzzt...


    ''''Roger...'''' A feminine voice came from the other side of the radio phone.


    The man ced the radio phone back in the chest pocket and holstered the revolver. He then began waiting for his colleague toe to finish off Isaac.


    ...


    In the secret chamber...


    Isaac''s vision suddenly shattered before returning to normal. It was like his vision was cracked, like ss.


    ''''What is this...'''' He wondered aloud while thinking like it was the same when looking through the broken ss. He could only guess that something happened in real-life, causing the visor to crack.


    However, there was still fifty bubbles left and they were full of important knowledge. Isaac could only grit his teeth, close his eyes and focus on the bubbles. He could feel himself bing stronger with each passing bubble.


    ...


    Tap... tap... tap... A woman, wearing a thick fur coat, stepped into the house with a broken front door and a corpse staining the floor with his brains and blood.


    ''''Can''t he do anything silently...'''' She wondered while walking over the corpse and entering the bedroom. There, he saw her colleague, standing beside a white-haired man.


    ''''Do it quick.'''' He said with a deep voice.


    ''''Right, right...'''' The woman pulled out her gloves, revealing her delicate and slender hands. She stopped in front of the reclining chair and ced her hands on Isaac''s cheeks.


    ''''Dark Priestess, Art of Corruption.'''' She murmured and closed her eyes. ck veins protruded from Isaac''s arms and forehead. It suddenly looked like he was mutating into a monster. The dark energy, called Corruption, seeped deep into Isaac''s body and started wreaking havoc inside his body.


    A small smile crept on the woman''s face as she slowly opened her eyes. ''''I did i--''''


    Before managing to celebrate, all the corruption energy disappeared as green light engulfed the man!


    ''''Ah?'''' She cried out, and suddenly her beautiful brown eyes were attacked by the green light. Her brown pupils turned white, and after the light disappeared, she looked around anxiously.


    ''''What are you doing? Try it again!'''' The man shouted.


    ''''I-I can''t see!'''' She screamed.


    ''''What do you mean...'''' The man was about to ask but then saw her white pupils. His eyes widened in shock. She became blind!


    She was a Sword of Myth Captain, ranked third, and she became blind, just like that!


    She was only below All-America, All-In-One, and Master Zero. She was the fourth strongest member of the organization and was dealt with so easily!


    ''''H-Help!'''' She swung her arms around, trying to get an understanding of where she was.


    The man gritted his teeth, grabbed her by the shoulders, and turned her to face Isaac. ''''Use your ability and kill him!''''


    ''''B-But I can''t see him!''''


    ''''He is in front of you! Use all your abilities!''''


    ''''Aaaahh...'''' The woman cried out and pushed her hands forward, touching Isaac''s chest, covered in a ck skinsuit. ''''Dark Priestess, Art of Death!''''


    The hands, covered in ck smoke, went through the skinsuit and touched Isaac''s well-toned chest. She tried to push her hands through the solid abs, but couldn''t. It was like his skin was indestructible!


    ''''I-I can''t!'''' She cried out in shock. ''''P-Please, return my vision!''''


    ''''Fuck!'''' The man pulled out his revolver from his underarm holster and ced the muzzle against Isaac''s forehead. Bang. After pulling the trigger, the bullet again touched the skin, but was stopped immediately, like it hit an immovable object.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    He emptied the chamber and as the hammer clicked nothing, he stopped and grabbed Isaac by his throat. While he was trying to squeeze the light out of the man, he clumsily pulled out cylinder with his other hand, and tried to reload it.


    After cing two bullets on the cylinder, he gritted his teeth and pushed it back inside. He pushed the hammer down, ced the revolver against Isaac''s closed eyelid and fired.


    Bang!


    The bullet couldn''t even prate the eyelid!


    The situation looked hopeless!


    ''''Come on!'''' He cried out.


    ''''Die, die, die!'''' The woman punched Isaac''s chest, but none of her attacks worked.


    ''''L-Let''s leave. We already managed to finish our goal, but it looks like we need to let General do the heavy lifting and kill this bastard!'''' The man helped her to stand, and was almost punched by her.


    He guided her towards the door, but as soon as they stepped one-foot out of the room, they heard a voice.


    ''''Stop.''''


    The voice was powerful and it made everyone feel instinctive fear. The two members of Sword of Myth could barely breathe. It was like they were being choked inside-out.


    Isaac got rid of the Mythical VR Helmet and drew a long breath as the skinsuit left his body. If he was before already at realm of godhood, now he was beyond that and who knows how strong he was...

    Isaac watched in silence as the shing interface slowly disappeared. The feeling currently was unreal. It was like he could hold the entire in his grasp or decide the lives of the entire human race. At this moment, he was more than an Advocate of Life and became Primordial.


    The man and woman couldn''t handle the pressure and fainted with foam pouring out of their mouths. After they fell down with a thud, Isaac noticed a scene in the living room. Walls painted in crimson; a corpse lying in the midst of a pool of blood with a bullet wound right in the middle of his brows with the back of his head missing.


    ''''Revolutionary...'''' Isaac grimaced and walked over the two fainted members of Sword of Myth. He knelt next to Revolutionary and could see the pain and fear in his face.


    Isaac nced at his palm and remembered his legacy skill. Whether it would work or not, it was time to find out.


    He ced his hand on Revolutionary''s chest and closed his eyes. The calm and serene green light poured out of his palm like tidal waves, shrouding Revolutionary''s corpse with its warmth.


    ''''Life Unity...''''


    The crimson blood and brain parts, strewn across the floor, started quickly moving back to Revolutionary. It was a very disturbing scene. Then, his head started slowly healing. At first, the back of his head turned normal, then the bullet wound in his be healed, andstly, the color returned to his face, and slowly, Revolutionary blinked.


    ''''Ahhhhhhhhhh!'''' Revolutionary sat up with a scream. He looked around anxiously and only saw the face of Isaac, looking at him with a slightly pained expression.


    ''''Cough...'''' Isaac held his mouth with the palm of his hand and coughed blood slightly. As expected, reviving someone wouldn''t be that easy.


    ''''W-What happened?'''' He asked in shock as he held his head. He only remembered that he was being held at gunpoint. Then, everything went dark, but it was as if he could still hear ''''Bang'''' echoing in his ears.


    ''''Nothing.'''' Isaac replied, not wanting to traumatize him further. He stood up to his feet, and said, ''''We have guests.''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Revolutionary then saw two fainted people near his room. He recognized the man and almost screamed aloud. However, after seeing them unconscious, he rxed.


    Isaac walked to the knocked out man and without hesitation, he pped him across his face. The man woke up with a jolt, and with his amazing reflexes, he pulled out his revolver from his underarm holster and fired.


    Isaac''s hand shredded through the air, and as the bullet flew toward him, he effortlessly caught it between his two fingers. The scene shocked both the man and Revolutionary.


    Crack... Isaac broke the bullet and pped the revolver away. ''''Hmm, I don''t need you two after all...''''


    He waved his hand and a calm wind breeze engulfed the man and the woman. They couldn''t even speak a word as they died.


    Isaac straightened his sleeves and turned to a shocked-looking Revolutionary. ''''Stay here. I will go visit my old friend...''''


    ''''E-Eh? What if theye back?'''' Revolutionary asked in fear.


    ''''No, they won''t.'''' Isaac said with confidence. He could feel that there was no one nearby that was both healthy and Chain Breaker. All the citizens of this ce had illnesses of some sort, making it easy to tell which ones were dangerous and which ones were not.


    After all, Isaac could feel everyone''s life signals, and he could feel thousands of immensely strong life signalsing from a few hundred kilometers away.


    ''''A-Alright...'''' Revolutionary decided to believe in Isaac. However, he still nned to leave this ce. There was no way he could exin why there were two dead people in his house, and since there was a prison literally a walking distance away, it was easy to tell where he would end up.


    Isaac left the building and looked into the grayish sky. Slowly, he turned into green specks of light and disappeared...

 Chapter 648 Exterminating Sword of Myth.

    Chapter 648 Exterminating Sword of Myth.


    In Sword of Myth''s headquarters.


    The massive hall was filled with walking soldiers. The nes, tanks, and all sorts of vehicles were strewn across the hall.


    Going up one flight of stairs, there were several office-like rooms. In one of them, Oliver sat on a creaking chair while ying with the revolver.


    He pushed the hammer down, spun the cylinder and aimed at the wall. Then, he pushed the hammer up, pushed the cylinder out, counted the bullets, pushed the cylinder back inside, and pushed the hammer down.


    This was the moment he had been waiting for. For the past year, he had only thought about killing Isaac, and he honestly believed that it could be done with the help of the Sword of Myth.


    At some distance away, in a different office, All-America had gathered all the Captains of Sword of Myth. Shockingly, All-In-One was there with a bruised face!


    Sword of Myth broke him out while the world was in chaos.


    Then, there was Master Zero, an elderly man with a long gray beard and a scar-filled face. Then, there were two twins, with sharp eyebrows and average-looking faces with long nose bridges.


    All-America tapped his long finger against the desk. The tension in the room was quite high as everyone tried not to look at his disfigured face. It was his sore spot and he wouldn''t take kindly if anyone was caught looking at it.


    Only yesterday, he killed a dozen soldiers for talking about it.


    ''''Any news yet?'''' He then suddenly asked, breaking the tension in the room.


    ''''Sir, they hadn''t reported back.'''' Master Zero said with solemn expression. They were obviously talking about the man and the woman, who had just recently died after their unsessful attempt at assassination.


    ''''We can assume they are dead.'''' All-America snorted. ''''I knew it wouldn''t work. Well, it doesn''t matter. It will mean that he ising here...''''


    '''' Should we prepare?'''' Master Zero asked.


    ''''We have already prepared... for so long.'''' All-America stood up and walked to the window. The window allowed one to see the entire hall in all its glory. The soldiers were marching across the hall, looking very disciplined and strong.


    ''''What should we do with Oliver once this is over?'''' One of the twins asked.


    ''''Kill, burn his corpse and throw the ashes towards the mountains.'''' All-America said coldly.


    The twins gulped and nodded.


    All-America turned his head half-way and looked at All-In-One. ''''Ask for rep¡ª''''


    Bang! Before he could finish, the hall''s massive doors exploded.


    ''''?!'''' Everyone whipped their heads around and saw the doors slowly falling down with a loud thud. The soldiers took their weapons and aimed. All-America and the rest watched with slightly pale expressions.


    ''''?'''' Oliver heard the loud sound and his heart started slowly racing.


    From the hall''s destroyed doors, a single white-haired man casually walked into the hall. His presence alone caused all the fighting spirit to disappear from the faces of a thousand soldiers.


    All-America''s mouth twitched. The pressure was increcibly suffocating!


    At that moment, they all knew that Isaac was no longer a mere human!


    ''''FIRE!'''' Master Zero shouted into the speakers. After hearing the aged voice, the soldiers pulled the triggers and filled the air with smoking bullets.


    Ratatatatatatatatatata!


    Isaac held his arms behind his back and casually weaved through the bullets. The thousands of bullets couldn''t even touch the hem of his clothes.


    He soon arrived in front of the closest soldier, and he immediately pped him across his face. This time, the soldier''s face exploded. He used far more strength than when he pped the man back in the Revolutionary''s ce.


    The single shattered skull flew across the air, frightening the battle-hardened soldiers.


    Isaac then lifted his left leg and gently stomped on the floor. That single stomp caused the entire hall to shake uncontrobly. The soldiers lost their footing and fell down like dominos.


    Then, Isaac lifted his chin, looked across the room, and saw a frightened All-America, screaming orders.


    Isaac then buckled his knees and, as the soldiers awkwardly climbed to their feet, he suddenlyunched forward, which caused a powerful shockwave, which sent all the soldiers flying across the hall. As they crashed onto the wall, over five hundred died, while others were gravely injured.


    With single movement of his, Isaac managed to kill so many!


    ''''Look out!'''' As All-America was facing them, he couldn''t notice a flying maning toward them. Thus, All-In-One quickly warned him.


    All-America whipped his head around and saw Isaac appear before the window. He formed a fist with his right and punched through the window. The window was bulletproof, but in front of Isaac, it was fragile.


    The ss chips flew across the room.


    All-America''s disfigured face morped into anger. He quickly summoned a hurricane in the room, causing other Sword of Myth members to be pushed to the side.


    Isaac jumped into the hurricane and smashed his fist across All-America''s face.


    Smack!


    All-America''s head was twisted to the side with half of his teeth flying out. With a single punch, he was already on the verge of dying.


    ''''General!'''' All-In-One and the rest shouted. They gritted their teeth and walked across the strong hurricane. They approached Isaac.


    Isaac couldn''t be bothered about them. Thus, he waved his hand, sent Life-Wave at them, and as the wind breeze stopped them in their tracks, they suddenly copsed one after another¡ªdead.


    ''''W-What...'''' All-America turned to his loyal members and couldn''t believe that they had died so suddenly...


    ''''You should have just retired. But instead, you poked at my sore spot.'''' Isaac grabbed All-America by the throat and activated Life Touch. The all-powerful general struggled, tried to free himself, but slowly, Life Touch stole all his life energy until there was nothing left.


    All-America stopped moving and the light dimmed in his eyes. Thest expression he showed was one of regret, resentment, and anger. They knew that Isaac was strong, they had watched the tournament, but this was way above what he should have been capable of...


    Isaac threw All-America away and waved his hand. Life-Wave engulfed the entire hall, killing the rest of the soldiers.


    Thus, there was only one person left...


    Isaac''s eyes grew cold as he left the office and walked to thest office, where onest life signal was...

 Chapter ?649 The Night of the Crimson Moon.

    Chapter ?649 The Night of the Crimson Moon.


    As Isaac grabbed the doorknob, he could hear the rapid, panicky breathinging from the other side of the door.


    He slowly opened the door and immediately heard ''''bang''''. It was all too familiar sound to him.


    Oliver pulled the trigger of his revolver, which he held with two hands. As the recoil struck his hands, his fingers broke like fragile twigs. It was the result of using Legendary Weapon with his fragile mortal body.


    ''''Ahhhhh!'''' As his scream reverberated in the room, the bullet flew across the room.


    Isaac''s knees buckled as he suddenly ducked underneath the bullet. The bullet grazed past his snowy white hair and struck the wall at the end of the hallway.


    Thud... the revolver fell down to the ground as Oliver''s fingers were broken¡ªhe couldn''t keep holding it.


    After seeing the bullet missing, Oliver''s scream of pain turned into despair. He fell on the ground, his face drenched in sweat. It was truly depressing to see everything failing at the finishing line. He thought he could finally get his revenge and finish off the bastard who ruined his life. However...


    Isaac stopped before Oliver, his gaze growing colder as seconds flew by. He knelt on the ground, picked up the revolver and ced the muzzle against Oliver''s forehead.


    ''''You should have stayed in prison.'''' Isaac said coldly as he ced his finger on the trigger. ''''You could have earned forgiveness that way... but s.''''


    ''''I-I don''t want to forgive you!'''' Oliver screamed. ''''I want to ruin you! Like... you ruined me!''''


    ''''You... are indeed stupid!'''' Isaac gritted his teeth and mmed his fist into Oliver''s left eye, leaving behind an eye-sized bruise. ''''This all happened because of you! You brainless ape, full of lust and resentment!


    ''''You are not better than some brainless animal!''''


    ''''Then kill me!'''' Oliver pushed his forehead against the revolver''s muzzle. ''''It''s same as killing an animal, isn''t it?!''''


    Isaac gritted his teeth and very much liked to pull the trigger, end this feud once and for all. However, he had a hunch that Oliver wanted it¡ªto have a easy way out.


    ''''No... not like this.''''


    ''''!?'''' Oliver''s eyes widened in surprise as Isaac suddenly grabbed his head and then both of them disappeared into a glowing specks of green light.


    ...


    ''''Aah...'''' Oliver screamed as the bright light slowly disappeared. He then saw a snow-filled city, with beautiful skyscrapers, bustling streets, and a bright atmosphere. They were back at Snowstar.


    However, there was clear tensity in the air as theizens didn''t look that cheerful. They all had faces of worry, anxiety, and slight fear.


    ''''W-Why... did you take me here?'''' Oliver turned to Isaac, who stood behind him with a revolver in hand.


    ''''I don''t want you to ask for forgiveness from me.'''' Isaac said. ''''I want you to ask forgiveness from others who you have hurt.''''


    ''''E-Eh?''''


    Isaac grabbed Oliver by his cor and hopped off the roof of a small two-story building. Theynded on a yard of modest-looking building. They were right in front of Amanda''s house.


    ''''T-This is?'''' Oliver turned to the neighborhood building. It was where he lived with his family before ending up in prison. However, now it seemed like the building was empty. His family had moved away.


    Isaac walked over to the door and knocked on it twice.


    ''''What are you doing?!'''' Oliver shouted and looked down at his ragged clothes. He looked like a beggar. He still had feelings for Amanda, so he didn''t want to let her see him like this.


    Isaac didn''t listen to him and waited.


    A few quiet footsteps came from the other side of the door, and the door was hesitantly opened. Anthony, Amanda''s father, peeked out from the gap in the door and was surprised to see Isaac. But then, he saw Oliver and became angry.


    Before he could rain profanities, Isaac blocked the view of Oliver and shook his head. Anthony''s mouth closed and he frowned. He wondered why Oliver was here.


    ''''Isaac, what is this?''''


    ''''He is here for a talk.'''' Isaac said, and threw Oliver into the house.


    As a loud thud echoed downstairs, Amanda and Amy walked down from upstairs, wondering what the sound was. As soon as they saw Oliver, they paled and looked over to the door. They were slightly rxed after seeing Isaac and Anthony, but still confused.


    Isaac lifted the hem of his jacket and ced the revolver between his trousers and his skin. Then, he hid it underneath his jacket. He entered the house and whispered to Anthony before they both moved over to the kitchen, leaving Oliver alone with Amanda and Amy.


    Oliver''s face was flushed in pink. He was incredibly embarrassed and felt like the death would have been better.


    In the kitchen, Anthony asked for the reason why Isaac brought Oliver here.


    Isaac sat on the wooden chair and said, ''''At thest day of his life, I have hopes of him finally doing something good.''''


    ''''Hmm?''''


    Isaac didn''t say anything else and waited. Anthony sat on the chair while peeking over to the living room. He saw Amanda and Amy, slightly frightened of Oliver.


    Oliver didn''t speak a word.


    Thatsted for an hour, before Amanda finally spoke. ''''Oliver... can you leave?''''


    Hearing her, Oliver''s heart finally shattered, and without thinking twice, he stood up and stepped out of the house while muttering. ''''Sorry...''''


    Isaac stood up from the chair. ''''All of you, stay safe. It''s not safe anymore...''''


    Anthony, Amy, and Amanda nodded. They exchanged hugs before parting ways.


    As Isaac left the house, he saw Oliver sitting on the snowy ground, looking over at the icy blue sky.


    ''''Can you... let me see the moon onest time?'''' Oliver asked. ''''Let this be myst... request.''''


    ''''...fine.'''' Isaac grabbed Oliver by the head and disappeared into glowing specks of light. They appeared on the roof of the tallest skyscraper in Snowstar. There, they could see the entire Snowstar and even beyond.


    As the hours went by, the sky turned orange before it was dark. They looked at the starry sky and saw the destroyed moon. Oliver couldn''t believe his eyes. The moon was destroyed?


    Isaac''s eyes looked pained, then he turned to the south and saw another moon looming in the distance. With his excellent vision, he could see three other moons. As far as he knew, they were inhabited, unlike the moon that was destroyed.


    The three remaining moons, strangely glowed in crimson hue... It was a night of a Crimson Moon.

    Chapter 650 Humanity & Gods Vs. World Conquering Demons.


    ''''What happened...'''' Oliver asked. ''''Why... is the moon destroyed?''''


    ''''The world is under attack.'''' Isaac replied. ''''By demons. This is nothing like our childish feud. This is something that can end humanity. Do you see now how worthless our fighting was?''''


    Oliver''s face copsed as he finally realized that this was something he shouldn''t be part of. It was the stuff of gods and it sounded like Isaac was part of it--he was indeed a being realms higher than himself.


    ''''I see now...'''' He sighed. This was the final straw that needed to be cut before he could finally forfeit his life. ''''Do it... you can kill me now. I am now... ready.''''


    Isaac pulled out the revolver and ced the muzzle against Oliver''s skull.


    Oliver sped his broken hands together, tears brimming in his eyes. ''''God, please forsake me.''''


    ''''May you rest... in the afterlife.'''' Isaac murmured and pulled the trigger. Bang. The bullet explosively left the barrel... but then, a hand appeared out of nowhere and snatched the bullet from midair.


    ''''!?'''' Isaac snapped his head towards the person and suddenly saw a fist flying towards his face. He quickly ducked underneath the fist and mmed the butt of the revolver across the person''s face. However, the revolver shattered from impact. The legendary weapon was destroyed just like that!


    ''''You are strong...'''' The person said, and as the shadow disappeared from the figure''s face, her true face appeared. She was a dark-eyed woman with an unusually pale face, an unusual type of beauty and coldness. She was Chaos, the Primordial God of the Universe and Disorder!


    ''''Who are you?'''' Isaac asked sharply. ''She is strong!''


    Oliver hesitantly turned around and was shocked to see someone else on the rooftop.


    ''''No... who are you?'''' Chaos asked while wearing a scary skin. She hadn''t seen such a strong humanbefore. She was getting excited!


    She moved across the air instantaneously and hacked her palm downward. As the palm flew towards Isaac, he suddenly grabbed the iing palm and twisted the wrist as he suddenlyunched Chaos backward.


    Chaos spun around in midair before beautifullynding in the air. The scene looked like a ballerina, and was extremely beautifully executed.


    Isaac lunged forward and threw a quick jab. The air exploded, and it sounded like a nuclear bomb was unleashed.


    Chaos blocked the jab with her slender arm and was shockedly pushed a step back. Her grin grew, till it reached ear-to-ear. She was getting even more excited!


    ''Who is she and why did she stop me?'' Isaac wondered. He knew she was extremely powerful and could only be a god. He didn''t think she was a demon because she didn''t feel like one. Unlike Be, her life signals showed steadiness and calmness. Not brutality and bloodlust.


    Chaos burst into motion and released deafening punches. Isaac parried the punches, but sometimes had to block. As thest punch missed his face by hair''s width, he suddenlyunched forward and mmed his knee into Chaos'' abdomen.


    Chaos''s eyes slightly shook as she wasn''tpletely prepared for it. However, she quickly regained herposure and grabbed Isaac''s knee. She swiftly lifted the knee, and threw Isaac over her head.


    Isaac crashed on the ground and quickly rolled to the side as Chaos mmed her feet into the ground. He stood up and executed a low kick. Chaos jumped over the kick and spun in the mid-air before smashing her feet across Isaac''s face.


    As Isaac''s face was pushed to the side, his face didn''t show any sort of pain or fatigue. He quickly turned back to Chaos and released even faster jabs. Each punchnded on Chaos'' face, sending her flying off the roof.


    ''What the hell is that fight?'' Oliver thought with a frightened expression. The fight in totalsted less than a second, and he couldn''t see a single thing happening!


    Chaos flew back to the roof and hovered in the air. She was humming with a scary grin as she looked straight at Isaac.


    ''''Well, well...'''' Chaos licked her lips and said. ''''Sorry for interrupting your... murder scene. But, didn''t you know that killing someone during Crimson Moon is bad luck?''''


    "What?" Isaac frowned.


    Chaos suddenly waved her hand, shrouded Oliver in dark light and made him vanish.


    ''''!?'''' Isaac tried to grab Oliver before he vanished, but was 0.000000001 seconds toote. He could only click his tongue in annoyance.


    ''''Farewell, strong boy~'''' Chaos waved her hand, winked and disappeared.


    Isaac stood alone on the rooftop as a cold winter wind flew over the skyscraper. He could only look at the distant crimson moon, alone in regret. If someone heard that a human fought against Primordial on equal terms, they would die out of shock. However, Isaac didn''t treat it like it was a big matter. He could tell that she was at the level of Primordial.


    He fought Hades and won. The person she fought was ten times, no... a hundred times stronger. Maybe even more. Yet, Isaac didn''t think he was necessarily at a disadvantage.


    Neither he nor she went all-out. If they did, the skyscraper would be instantly shattered and Snowstar would be destroyed.


    ''''I wonder who she was... and why did she took Oliver...'''' Isaac frowned. However, as the looming threat of demons approached, he only wanted to return to his family as soon as possible.


    ...


    In God Realm.


    The demons roared loudly in God City. The millions of demons had arrived and were filling the air with their strong presence. Demon Kings and Demon Lords stood on the castle''s balcony, looking over the sea of demons.


    Lucifer''s gaze prated the clouds in the sky, and he saw three crimson moons in the distance.


    ''''Three crimson moons... That''s a sign of good luck...'''' He murmured and turned to the demons. ''''The day hase. This is the final frontier, and thest ce to be conquered. Once we are done here, all the universes are ours!


    ''''For demon race! We are Conquerors!''''


    ''''We are Conquerors!'''' The demon shouted in unison and then millions of demons flew into the sky. They entered thousands of different spaceships, strewn across the space and started flying towards the faraway of Four Seasons.


    Demon Kings and Demon Lords flew behind the spaceships, looking over towards the beautiful world.


    The final war was about to begin.

 Chapter ?651 Gathering of Humanitys Army.

    Chapter ?651 Gathering of Humanity''s Army.


    Thud.


    ''''Ouch...'''' Oliver rolled on the ground as he was suddenly thrown onto hard ground.


    Chaos descended from the sky andnded beside him. She nced at him for a split second before kicking to the left, opening a wooden door with a bam and throwing Oliver inside.


    ''''Argh...'''' Olivernded head-first on the wooden floor but then felt himself moving away from the floor. Chaos held him by his cor like he was some kind of puppy.


    Chaos let him go, allowing him to stand on his two feet. She pulled out a chair and sat down. As she folded her arms, she casually asked, ''''Who was that white-haired man?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Oliver was startled. ''''How do you not know?''''


    ''''I just happen not to know.'''' Chaos said with a nk expression. ''''Now, who was he?''''


    ''''...'''' Oliver pondered for a moment before snorting. ''''Not telling.''''


    ''''Oh, how insolent.'''' Chaos unfolded her arms and stood up. ''''Are all humans like this?


    Oliver flinched and backed off into the corner.


    Chaos, however, didn''t go after him. Instead, picked up newspaper from a shelf and sat back down. She flipped through the pages while leaving Oliver alone.


    Oliver watched with sweat beads rolling down the side of his face. He desperately wanted to know his reason for being here!


    ''''I see... Isaac Whitelock.'''' Chaos suddenly said as she suddenly grinned. The first page in newspaper showed image of three bosses of the tournament. This was old newspaper from tournament days.


    ''''Tch.'''' Oliver clicked his tongue and asked. ''''Why am I here?''''


    ''''Be quiet. I am reading.'''' Chaos sharply said and turned back to the newspaper. She carefully read it and slightly frowned. The newspaper made it seem like three bosses were equal in strength. However, she knew for a fact, that there shouldn''t be anyone else near Isaac''s strength in humanity''s side.


    ''He became stronger suddenly?'' Was the only exnation Chaos thought of. She became even more interested of this individual called Isaac Whitelock.


    She folded the newspaper, ced it on the table and turned to Oliver. ''''You are here because I need you for disorder.''''


    ''''Disorder?''''


    Chaos grinned. ''''Yes. The only way to win this war is through disorder. I can''t achieve that alone. Thus, I will use you as a disorder.''''


    Oliver felt goosebumps. It was like he was being targeted by a prehistoric predator, ready to pounce on him and devour him. She was incredibly dangerous!


    Chaos stood up and grabbed him by the shoulders. ''''You were already prepared to die. So, at least die with disorder!''''


    ...


    Isaac stood in the Whitelock residence''s living room. Maxwell and Isabe were sitting on the couches, looking at the TV with solemn expressions. Apparently, yesterday, Legacy Company''s employees gathered every Chain Breaker with the help of the government and made them all move to White Paradise. They were preparing for something.


    That included Luna and, surprisingly... Alice.


    Isaac frowned, wondering why Alice was sent there. His parents looked incredibly anxious and fearful as they thought about their daughter ending up on the frontlines.


    ''''Big brother!'''' Out of nowhere, Mark appeared like a bolt of lightning and wrapped his tiny arms around Isaac''s legs. He turned to look up and asked, ''''Are you going there as well?''''


    Isaac patted his little brother''s head and shrugged. ''''Perhaps...''''


    He frowned and, at first, wanted to ensure the safety of his family. He wouldn''t leave somewhere blindly and leave his family in danger. It was something his heart told him to do. He wasn''t sure whether it was because of his Future Self''s influence or his regret.


    At least, he would go check on Alice and Luna, make sure they were alright.


    ...


    In White Paradise.


    Thousands of Chain Breakers had gathered in the yard of Legacy Company. Every now and then, a several flying gods and goddesses flew over the sky. This was also the ce where they resided!


    The Chain Breakers were shocked to see so many legendary figures, walking in the streets in broad daylight.


    Among the chain breakers, several familiar faces popped up. Henry, the Legacy Carrier of Jack the Ripper, who was sentenced to ten years in prison, was standing in the middle of chain breakers with a dead-looking expression.


    Mint, who was sentenced to Tartarus, trembled like a frightened bunny. Once the Sword of Myth became a public enemy, Tartarus shut down and the government managed to defeat the Sword of Myth battalion stationed there.


    Lady Evelyn hugged her legs as she was kneeling on the ground. She was chained by limbs, and the one holding the chains was Jason, nonchntly smoking a cigarette while making sure she wasn''t going to escape.


    Then there were Kalzer, Amour, Xerxus, Noelle, Cecilia, Elizia, Darkside, Queen Diana, Darth, King Jonathan, surprisingly King Michael along with Colossus.


    At the far end of the group was Luna and Alice, looking over the group of strong yers with slight nervousness. Then, footsteps rang from Legacy Company''s building and soon everyone saw Arthur.


    They were startled at first.


    Arthur took his spot on the tform and pulled out a microphone. He opened his mouth and started talking about the danger humanity was facing. He didn''t leave anything out. He also added that New-Gen humans and Inhumans would help in this fight. They have, on average, far stronger people than humanity has.


    After the thirty minute long speech, everyone was left speechless and slightly frightened.


    Then, all the Gods and Goddesses revealed themselves, showing the true prowess of humanity, giving them more hope. There were over a thousand Gods and Goddesses, nine Primordial Gods, thousands of legacy figures, and over a thousand strong Chain Breakers, with some even having the strength of a God. Andstly, an army consisting of over a million angels and God Realm citizens.


    Then, there were New-Gen Humans, and Inhumans.


    In total, their army had more than 2 million people, fighting till theirst breath. It was incredibly strong power, something never before seen!


    ''''This battle has to have only one ending and that is victory!'''' Arthur stated while his nails wed into his flesh. He was more frightened than anyone else. The time had finallye, and losing wasn''t an option!

 Chapter 652 Primordial Carriers.

    Chapter 652 Primordial Carriers.


    At the night in White Paradise, everyone had retreated to their living quarters. They all received buildings, left behind by former residents of White Paradise.


    The curtains were mostly drawn as everyone looked up into the sky. They saw the destroyed moon and felt pained.


    ''''Sigh...'''' Luna rested her chin on her palm as she watched the destroyed moon floating further away from Four Seasons. It was a heart-wrenching sight.


    ''''I honestly can''t believe that White Online was created for this!'''' Alice said while checking herself out in the full-body mirror. She was wearing a priestess robe. ''''They all knew that one day, demons would attack and decided not to tell anyone. Well, I guess it was smart since everyone would panic.''''


    ''''Yeah...'''' Luna looked away from the sky and turned to Alice. ''''Are you scared?''''


    ''''Well...'''' Alice looked at her adorable reflection and sighed. ''''Yes... after all, I am not Chain Breaker. I don''t even have legacy. Why am I doing here?''''


    ''''Right...'''' Lunapletely forgot about the fact. She always treated Alice as one of them because she was quite short. But now she remembered that shouldn''t Alice be somewhere far away, safe and not here?


    Alice walked away from the mirror and sat on the bed. ''''I think we will be alright. We have, after all, so many strong people on our side!''''


    ''''That''s right...'''' Luna let out a small smile as she nodded softly. ''''It''s just that... the unknown is always scary.''''


    ''''True...'''' Alice nodded.


    Lunay down on the bed, next to Alice and reached her hand towards the ceiling. ''''I wonder how Isaac is doing...''''


    ''''Brother is definitely doing something stupid!'''' Alice puffed her chest outward and turned her body halfway to look at Luna. ''''I wonder why he isn''t here.''''


    ''''He said he had something to do... I wonder he is alright.'''' Luna said and rubbed her stomach with ufortable expression. She hadn''t felt too goodtely...


    ''''Are you alright?'''' Alice asked as Luna''s pale face slowly turned slightly greenish.


    ''''Ugh...'''' Luna sprung to her feet and rushed to the bathroom. She opened the toilet''s lid and vomited her food down the toilet.


    Alice stopped in the bathroom''s doorway and looked worriedly. ''''Are you feeling sick?''''


    ''''This is strange...'''' Luna wiped her lips with the sleeve and held her stomach. ''''Chain Breakers shouldn''t catchmon cold...''''


    Thump... thump...


    At that moment, it was like she could feel something in her stomach... Like, another life was slowly born.


    Her beautiful blue eyes shook as she felt it clearly... The legacy of Hecate allowed her to know her body perfectly. It was another form of presence. And now, she could feel that this wasn''tmon cold. Instead, something far more spectacr.


    ''''Luna?'''' Alice knelt beside her and suddenly saw Luna covering her face as she suddenly started shedding tears.


    Her tears flowed down her hands. They were tears of joy as there was smile on her face.


    ...


    On Legacy Company''s top floor.


    ''''Are you sure?'''' Arthur asked while folding his arms. The Primordials gathered in the room nodded.


    Gaia, Aether, Eros, Nyx, Ceto, Uranus, Chronos, and Shiva were gathered. Chaos was somewhere missing.


    ''''This has to be done. This is the reason why we brought Non Chain Breakers here. They had already made their choice.'''' Gaia said and looked to the others. ''''Nyx, you already chose your carrier, Zachary and I assume he is currently with you?''''


    Nyx softly nodded.


    ''''Then, Aether, choose your carrier.''''


    Aether sighed and nodded. He looked over to the big pearl, situated at the center of the room. It would allow him to transfer his legacy to anyone he wished. It was something only the primordial could do. It was too much for Gods and Goddesses to bear with.


    As Aether walked to the pearl, he suddenly stopped and tried to calm his beating heart. He then turned to Arthur and asked. ''''Arthur... do you want to be my carrier?''''


    ''''Eh?'''' Arthur was startled. ''''Me?''''


    Gaia sighed and scratched her cheek.


    The rest of the Primordials were slightly surprised. After all, they didn''t know about the rtionship between Arthur and Aether. Only Gaia knew.


    Gaia, after all, made it possible for Aether to impregnate his wife, Arthur''s mother. However, the Primordial wasn''t allowed to live among humans. Thus, she made Aether swear that he would leave them and not return.


    Thus, he did...


    Arthur looked at Gaia and, after not seeing any objections, he nodded. ''''Alright.''''


    Aether sighed and nodded. He ced his hand on the pearl and transferred the power to Arthur. The fascinating thing was that, using the pearl, the chains would immediately break. It was so powerful that chains couldn''t hold it. However, Arthur had already removed the chains. Thus, receiving Primordial''s ability hurt him more than others.


    ''''Argh!'''' Arthur copsed on the ground and wailed in anguish. Aether quickly moved over to him and carried him out of the room, going straight to the medical bay.


    Gaia then turned to Eros. ''''Your turn.''''


    Eros, the bare-chested chubby man, giggled as he floated towards the pearl. "I have already chosen my carrier!''''


    ''''She might be the carrier of my child, Cupid''s. However, now, it''s time to upgrade her power. I choose, Queen Diana!'''' Eros ced her palm on the pearl and transferred his power to Queen Diana, who was currently sleeping.


    Gaia nodded, then turned to Ceto. ''''Your turn.''''


    Ceto softly nodded and moved over to the pearl. ''''I choose... Queen Eliza!''''


    Then, it was Uranus''s turn.


    ''''I choose Queen Cecilia!''''


    Then, it was Chronos'' turn.


    Chronos powerfully walked over to the pearl. He had already chosen his carrier long time ago. It couldn''t be anyone else. It was around half a year ago, when he felt it. A birth of genius in terms of time management. Sadly, she chose to be a priestess and not a spellcaster. He was sure he would achieve the rarest attribute, time!


    ''''I choose Wondend!'''' He ced his hand on the pearl.


    Gaia softly nodded. She then looked at Shiva, who was slowly walking over to the pearl.


    No one knew who he would choose.


    Shiva ced his palm on the pearl and said, ''''I choose...''''

 Chapter ?653 Demons Attack.

    Chapter ?653 Demon''s Attack.


    ''''Why am I here?'''' A lonely voice rang in a dimly lit building, located in the southwest area of White Paradise. It belonged to Darth, who was stargazing with a thoughtful expression.


    He didn''t understand the reason for his summons here. He had tried hard and for a long time to receive a legacy, but ultimately failed to achieve his dream. He wanted proper power to fight against top yers. For once, he wanted to be the main actor.


    However, some dreams were never to be fulfilled.


    Darth realized it and didn''t even understand why he was chosen in the tournament. Everyone was so amazing and he just happened to survive the first round by fluke. Then, it was boss fights, and he could barely do anything.


    Darth sighed long and hard until he finally tore his gaze away from the stars, drew the curtains shut and fell onto his bed. It was a dangerous time, and he would have wanted to stay with his family. However, it was hard to resist the invitation from Arthur and the Gods.


    ''Maybe if I asked them, they would let me leave.'' He thought with a yawn. ''After all, I am powerless.''


    ...


    Shiva ced his palm on the pearl and said. ''''I choose... Darth.''''


    ''''Oh?'''' Arthur''s eyebrow jumped. It was a rather unexpected choice.


    Gaia pped her hands and said. ''''Alright. Everyone had already chosen their carriers. Now, we need to get them used to their powers before demons attack.''''


    ''''What about you?'''' Ceto asked. ''''You hadn''t chosen your carrier yet.''''


    Everyone turned to Gaia.


    Gaia cheekily grinned. ''''Oh, but I have!''''


    ''''Oh, who?'''' Primordials and Arthur were surprised.


    ''''Secret~'''' Gaia winked and smugly looked out of the window. ''It''s no fun if I reveal it!''


    ...


    Alice helped Luna to sit on the bed while she used her napkin to wipe her lips.


    ''''Are you alright?'''' she once again asked after seeing Luna calming down. At first, she vomited out of nowhere, then started crying. Of course she would be worried!


    ''''Yeah...'''' Luna replied with her heart racing. Her facial muscles went numb after smiling so much. She could barely contain herself.


    Alice sighed in relief and nodded. She then rubbed the back of her head with a slightly ufortable expression. She felt a small stinging sensation when they were in the bathroom. Also, she felt like she was suddenly much stronger...


    ''''Fwoo...'''' Luna heaved a sigh and asked, ''''Sorry about that. Umm, do you have your phone with you?''''


    ''''Ah, no...'''' Alice shook her head. ''''We left in a hurry, so we didn''t have time to return to our houses...''''


    Luna and Alice met with a Legacy Company representative in the construction area. There was one Legacy Company building in each major city. Thus, it was easy for Arthur to contact any yer.


    The representative spoke to them and had already ordered them a private jet, which took them directly to White Paradise in a few hours. It all happened so fast that they could barely react.


    Thus, they didn''t have time to pick up any stuff from their homes.


    ''''Ah...'''' Luna nodded. She didn''t have her phone also. She would have wanted to contact Isaac and tell the news. But s... I guess it had to wait.


    She was slightly afraid of Isaac''s reaction. He''d shown positive ideas about having babies, but not yet. In his opinion, they were still young¡ªonly 19 years old.


    However, Miss Fate yed its tricks and caused her to be pregnant, which was quite strange since they hadn''ttely been in much intimate contact in real-life and often did it inside the game. And when they do it in real life, they always use protection.


    Thus, that made her think about Moon City and their intimate encounter... Was it possible that it was also possible to grow pregnant that way? Ridiculous, it shouldn''t be possible...


    ''Is it possible?'' Luna thought while hugging her legs.


    ''''Yawn... I am gonna take a quick shower before going to sleep. Will you?'''' Alice stood up and asked.


    ''''No, I will be fine.'''' Luna said andy down on the bed. She gently rubbed her stomach while looking out of the window with blissful smile.


    ''''Alright.'''' Alice left the room, walked to the kitchen and took a quick gulp of water. As she turned around, preparing to return to room to get to shower, she noticed a strange phenomenon outside.


    She slowly turned and drew the curtains. In the outer space, she was outlines of spaceships, appearing. They filled the sky and looked like the entire sky was suddenly much darker.


    ''''T-T-Those are...'''' Alice covered her mouth in shock. There were thousands of enormous spaceships!


    The spaceships were also loud. Everyone woke up because the strange humming sound, which made the earth shake and trees tremble.


    The lights in nearby buildings was immediately lit up. Everyone opened curtains to look into the sky. Everyone had same reaction¡ªshock.


    Bam!


    Luna left the room with a bang and ran to Alice. They both looked at the spaceships with shock filling their expressions. It was like they could feel the endless evil that demons have.


    ...


    That night, no one slept.


    Whether it was in White Paradise or on a different continent. Everyone trembled in fear as the demons had finally revealed themselves. The Inte was full of people-made videos, captured by their phone cameras, showing the frightening scene.


    The sound of humming was like something from a scary movie.


    The children cried, the elderly drew the curtains shut and hid in their houses. It didn''t matter what gender one was or which race one was. Even though the animals ran back into the woods, the birds flew across the sky¡ªtrying to find shelter.


    The Gods and Goddesses stood on top of Legacy Company''s headquarters. With grave expressions, they looked towards outer space.


    Then, they saw a sh. The spaceships unleashed theirsers and struck the barrier that protected the world. In the heavens, the God of Four Seasons tried to keep the barrier as long as he could. However, his body started slowly breaking apart.


    With one regretful look, he was blown to pieces, and following his death, the barrier vanished.

 Chapter 654 The War Begins.

    Chapter 654 The War Begins.


    ''''Hihihihihi!''''


    Laughter... Demonicughter echoed in the spaceships.


    The demons with their long tonguesughed and looked excited like it was Christmas. They felt the thrill of the hunt, and it was like they could taste the lingering fearing from theizens of Four Seasons.


    It was always at the dawn of the war when they felt the most excited. They would have time to taste new flesh, shed blood, and have some fun. They could barely resist themselves. They would want to leave the spaceship and go on a rampage.


    At themanding deck, Be sat alone in the general''s chair. She was deep in thought after her meeting with the Demon Lord Hellc. She allowed her to have one pet of the human race. Be would have wanted that ''''pet'''' to be Isaac, but she had a hunch that he would rather die thane with her.


    It made her feel sad, but it was her fault for lying to him for too long.


    ''Maybe he will realize that no one can defeat demons and wille with me willingly.'' Be still held hopes and turned her gaze back to the broad windows, showing the beautiful Four Seasons. Her subordinates was seated aroundmanding deck, whispering with excitement.


    It was finally time!


    ...


    ''''T-They broke the barrier instantly!'''' A lesser God shouted in disbelief and started to tremble in fear.


    ''''The barrier should havested for week!''''


    ''''It couldn''t evenst a second!''''


    ''''We are doomed!''''


    ''''Enough!'''' Then, a sharp voice pressured everyone to stay quiet. It belonged to Chronos, who looked at the crying Gods with disdain.


    ''This is indeed bad...'' Gaia bit her nails.


    ''''We need to limit the battlefield to White Paradise.'''' Aether took a step forward and said. He was the main strategist of the war. ''''The biggest problem is that demons will be free to roam in the Four Seasons. We can''t allow that to happen, so we must make sure that they have toe here!''''


    ''''How should we do that?'''' Uranus asked. ''''Demon Lords and Demon Kings wille here to wipe us out while demons kill everyone we were sworn to protect.''''


    ''''Let me handle it.'''' Gaia suddenly said and raised her hand. She waved her palm, and suddenly, a whirlpool of green appeared in the sky. Slowly, the wind breeze gushed out, filled the streets, and started spreading across the world!


    It only took a minute till the whole world was filled with a strange green mist. The only ce that didn''t have green mist was White Paradise. Gaia used Isaac''s version of Life-Wave!


    If any demon wandered into the green mist, they would perish immediately. However, that only worked against lower-ranked demons. But, that was better than nothing. It would minimize the damage by a great deal.


    ''''And I shall do this!'''' Ceto pointed her arm towards the sky, and her pupils looked like they were moving, like waves. The ocean surrounding the four continents suddenly turned dangerous. The waves were as big as ten meters, and it was simply impossible to move across the ocean!


    This was her idea of isting continents from demons. The demons wouldn''t be able to leave Wintend. However, they could still fly over the oceans with spaceships. But, that''s where Uranus came in.


    He shouted loudly and attracted a hurricane above the four continents. He made the air so turbulent that it was simply impossible to fly without breaking the ship in the process!


    Thus, the demons soon noticed that they were isted. There was only one ce they could go, and it was White Paradise.


    Lucifer hovered above the spaceships, nonchntly looking in the direction of White Paradise. They were still outside the world, re-grouping and deciding their battle strategy. He didn''t take part on it¡ªonly Demon Lords and Demon Generals did.


    After half an hour, they decided on the strategy. There were thousands of strategies they could use. After all, they were conquering demons, and even though they often used brute force to defeat their opponents, they were also masters at war.


    ''''Alright, send the first group.'''' Lucifermanded.


    Demon Generals repeated his orders and soon, five spaceships descended down the sky. Theizen of Four Seasons were frightened. Closer the spaceship got to the ground, more frightened they became.


    Once the spaceshipsnded on the ground, right at the foot of the Four Mountains, the doors opened, revealing thousands of lusty demons. They screamed with thrilled expressions and ran into the woods.


    It didn''t take them long to sprint out of the woods. They entered the barrennd, which was a beautiful, snow-coveredndscape. In the distance, they could see White Paradise and the long white walls surrounding it.


    At the entrance of White Paradise, suddenly thousands of golden-armored Angels, followed by an army of New-Gen Humans and Inhumans, appeared.


    The angels were at the front, holding golden shields with swords still in their scabbards. Behind them were spear-wielding New-Gen Humans and,stly, Inhumans who wielded bows.


    ''''Ready!'''' The lead Archangel shouted. He was Zadkiel, the Archangel. He was the Archangel of Mercy and Forgiveness. However, he was all out of mercy and forgiveness after hearing the news of his beloved brother Michael''s death.


    He couldn''t let demons go after what they did to him. They even ripped off his wings!


    Inhumans put arrows on the bowstrings, and then aimed towards the skies¡ªwaiting for a signal.


    Zadkiel waited till the screaming demons were close enough. They were stomping through the snow with their long tongues swaying. They wereughing, shouting, and throwing profanities.


    Then, Zadkiel lowered his arm and shouted. ''''Firee!''''


    Swoosh!


    As his wordsnded on everyone''s ears, the Inhumans let go of the bowstings and released the arrows. The arrows tore through the air as they made an arc-shaped descent through the sky. With the pointy ends moving down, the arrows pierced through the demons'' skulls, scales, and limbs.


    ''''Graaah!'''' The demons fell down like they had suddenly tripped over. The snow-filled ground was suddenly stained with crimson blood.


    However, as soon as the frontline of demons died, the next row of demons ran over them, wielding maces and machetes. They arrived before the first row of angels and started hacking their weapons down.


    ''''Draw your weapons!'''' Zadkiel shouted and drew his sword. ''''ATTACK!''''

 Chapter ?655 The Messy Battleground.

    Chapter ?655 The Messy Battleground.


    sh!


    The swords crossed, shields smashed against flesh, and blood stained the ground.


    A golden-armored angel smashed his shield against the skull of a demon before unsheathing his sword and shing it down on the corbone of another demon. However, as soon as he killed the demon, another demon appeared and smashed his hideous-looking mace at the angel''s head¡ªcausing the head to shatter.


    It didn''t take even ten seconds for hundreds of demons and angels to die.


    ''''Protect the gate! Do not let anyone enter!'''' Zadkiel shouted while swinging his sword. With one sh, he separated the heads of a dozen demons. He donned a gold-winged helmet, which fit nicely with his handsome face. He looked like a god of war.


    ''''Yes, sir!'''' The fellow Angels shouted repeatedly and stood their ground with shields held in front of them.


    ''''Shieldmen!'''' An Angel shouted, waking New-Gen Humans from their stupor. With mechanical movement, as though they were nervous, New-Gen Humans stepped forward and pushed their spears through the gaps of shields and impaled nearby demons.


    They were taught spearmanship for long time ago. They didn''t know for what reason, but they were all taught for one year when they turned adult about spearmanship and different fighting skills. They never came to use them in adulthood. Thus, they thought it was useless. However, it seemed like they were taught for this day.


    They could only believe themselves to be quite lucky that they now knew how to defend themselves.


    Inhumans were still in a much better situation. They had to undergo aing of age ceremony, where they had to pass several tests. They were difficult and mostly fighting-rted.


    ''''God damn it!'''' Demon who got hit by the spear screamed in annoyance. He grabbed the de, crushed it with his bare hands, and red at the person who stabbed him. The New-Gen Human paled and hid behind the shieldmen.


    ''''Come out, coward!'''' Demon screamed and shockingly jumped over the shieldwall with extremely good athleticism.


    ''''Stop him!'''' Zadkiel shouted while crossing swords with another demon. He couldn''t be everywhere all at once. Thus, he had to trust his subordinates.


    ''''Haaaa!'''' The Demon shouted and grabbed the head of a New-Gen Human before crushing it like a watermelon. The scene shocked the others, and they paled in fright. But then, almost immediately, an angel appeared and shed the demon''s head cleanly off his shoulders.


    The demon''s lifeless head flew across the air beforending on the side of the wall and shattering like a balloon.


    However, it didn''t matter that the demon was now dead. The New-Gen Humans were still terrified of attracting the anger of the demons.


    ''''I-I can''t do this...'''' A young man around 18 years old said with trembling hands. The spear was vibrating like it had a life of its own. He was a young architecture student from a wealthy family. He was thought to be the sessor of his father and would be a great architect.


    However, then an evacuation order came while he was still studying in school, and he was evacuated out of World of White along with his ssmates. He didn''t know where his family ended or whether they were safe.


    He was sent to White Paradise almost immediately and was put in one of the fighting battalions. He didn''t want to be here and would rather be a deserter. However, hearing Arthur''s speech changed his mind...


    He spoke so well that it made everyone who had deserting thoughts to stay silent and subdue to their fates. Arthur talked about what could happen to their families if they left. Even one person could change the course of the war and change the lives of billions of people. If they could be that person, even if there was less than 0.0001% chance, wouldn''t they do it?


    None of them thought it was possible to be that person, but they still wanted to be the main protagonist and be the reason their families could live to see another day.


    Slowly, his hand stopped trembling and his frightened eyes started slowly bing calmer. Today was perhaps the day he would die. After all, ending in the first group was a dead sentence.


    ''''Get out of my way!'''' Then, a demon burst through the shieldwall with only his physical strength!


    He had dragon-like scales all over his body. As the swords shed across his body, they couldn''t prate his armor-like skin. The spears broke in half as they struck the skin, and none of the angels were powerful enough to stop the rampaging demon.


    The demon grabbed the heads of two angels and crushed them effortlessly. The blood stained his hands, and before rushing forward, he licked the blood off his hands and grinned hideously. Everyone turned pale, like they had seen a monster in flesh. No one had any intention of fighting against him!


    However, the youth, who thought he wanted to be an architect, grabbed the spear tightly and started running forward. As he ran past the frightened New-Gen Humans, they looked at him with shocked expressions. They all thought he had gone mad and was going to lose his life foolishly.


    ''''Die, you bastard!'''' He shouted and kicked the ground as he suddenlyunched himself forward. The spear struck the spot between two chests. It was also the ce where dragon skin was at its weakest. It only had a very thinyer of it.


    The demon couldn''t react as the spear suddenly impaled through him. His eyes widened in shock and the shouting of a mad-looking youth entered his ears. He looked down and saw a weak-looking human holding a spear¡ªabout to kill him!


    ''''Y-Y-You, cough!'''' The demon coughed out blood. ''''B-Bastard!''''


    The demon grabbed the youth by the head. His hand was as big as his head!


    The fellow New-Gen Humans covered their ears in fright. They were afraid to again hear the disgusting ''''crack'''' sound of the skull getting shattered. They would already get nightmares, but they didn''t want to hear or see a young man like him also suffering the same fate!


    Spurt... then, out of nowhere, a sword shredded through the air and cleanly cut off the demon''s arm. The arm that was holding the young man.


    The young man fell on his butt, and now everyone could see his pale face and the tears that were staining his face. He was obviously utterly terrified and was sure that he would die. However, he still risked his life without expecting anything to happen.


    This was the spark the army needed.

 Chapter 656 The Flower Sword.

    Chapter 656 The Flower Sword.


    ''''I-I-I-It huuuurts!'''' The demon screamed.


    The blood-armored Zadkiel held his sword while shing it down diagonally. At first, he was the one who cut the demon''s arm, and now, he tore through the demon''s throat and cleanly cut it off. It was like he was a chef, handling delicate fruits. It looked pathetically easy for him to kill all these demons!


    ''''Close the gap, close the gap!'''' Zadkiel shouted after seeing that there was a man-sized gap in the middle of the shieldwall. It was the result of the rampaging demon''s rush. The angels quickly closed the gap, but the demons were repeatedly attacking them, forcing them to rapidly get pushed back.


    ''''Sir, this is bad! We can''t hold the shieldwall much longer!'''' The second-inmand angel came next to Zadkiel and shouted. The shieldwall was located at the entrance of White Paradise, guarding a hundred-meter area around the gate. The New-Gen Humans and Inhumans were inside that hundred-meter area.


    The five hundred meters outside the hundred meter area was under the control of the demons and was the main battlefield. There were also angels outside a hundred meter area, shing with demons, trying to push them away from the shieldwall.


    If the shieldwall was broken, the delicate hundred meter area would be ruined, and the demons would definitely enter White Paradise and cause too much damage to their forces.


    Zadkiel frowned and nodded. They had to use the second phase.


    ''''GUNNERS!'''' He shouted, and after his shout, a loud horn blew across the air. It was heard by everyone in White Paradise and by fighting demons.


    The nearby walls had activity. The loud footsteps rang from the top of the walls, and suddenly hundreds of Inhumans arrived from their ducking position. Since the start of the war, they had ducked, waiting for the horn. Now, they stood up--holding guns.


    They aimed the guns at the sea of demons and had already removed their safety. The reason why there were only Inhumans was that they had learned all sorts of weapons at a young age. It was mostly Iah who taught them, and his strict teaching made them quite good.


    ''''Fire!'''' Zadkiel shouted.


    Ratatatatatata... The shower of bullets shredded through the air and tore through the sea of demons.


    ''''Aaaghh!'''' The demons screamed as the bullets went through their durable skins. The area around the shieldwall was quickly emptying as the demons had to start retreating to go further away from the walls.


    After all, Inhumans had to fire from a hundred meters away, and they could only sessfully hit so many demons because they were packed like sardines in a jar. Now, they have started spreading around and running further away.


    The demons weren''t fools and quickly figured out the weak point of that strategy. Once they were two hundred meters away, the Inhumans stopped firing after they stopped hitting their marks.


    The demons turned around to face the shieldwall. They looked outraged and could feel the scent of fresh meat in other side of the walls, but getting there seemed so difficult!


    ''''God damn it!''''


    ''''Damn, I want to taste blood and I want to hear their screams. Can''t they just die!''''


    ''''I am feeling horny! I hadn''t had any good ones for six months. I am growing crazy!''''


    ''''These goddamn insects are tough to kill!''''


    In outer space, Lucifer saw the scene and sighed. It seemed that their first attack had failed. However, he expected that to happen. It was to test the initial strategy that their enemies were using. It seemed they had created some sort of ''''safe zone" at the entrance of the city and would put all their effort into defending it.


    It was not a bad n. Everyone would feel more motivated to protect that one area than to focus their effort on the entire battlefield.


    Focusing their efforts across the entire battlefield could exhaust their mental and physical prowess quickly. However, if there was only one area, it was easier and more doable.


    However, Lucifer immediately thought of several ideas to ovee that obstacle.


    ''''Your turn.'''' Lucifer''s voice rang in the ears of a single demon.


    In a spaceship, blue-skinned demon uncrossed his arms and put his palm on the armrest. In the arm, several holographic screens appeared. With those, he controlled the ship and started descending down to Four Seasons.


    The Gods and Goddesses immediately noticed the new appearance of a spaceship. They immediately thought that demons sent reinforcements.


    The demons looked at the ship and immediately recognized whose it was. They couldn''t help butugh and started taunting their enemies.


    "You are all dead now!''''


    ''''Hahaha, when ''''He'''' is on the battlefield, no one will be spared!''''


    ''''Yes, finally we can get to enjoy the fruits of our effort. I can''t wait!''''


    ''''I am already salivating!''''


    Zadkiel and the angels turned serious.


    The spaceshipnded on the outskirts of the woods, and then, the door opened, releasing a cloud of smoke. A sole figure appeared amid the smoke, and he casually stepped down from the spaceship.


    His blue was incredibly blue, and he looked like he had suffered a frost bite. His eyes were ck without any white. They looked like dots of ck with no emotion behind them. He was severely tall, around 2 meters, with a lean build.


    He donned a ck trenchcoat with a high cor and floral patterns. A sheath dangled from his hip, and the hilt of the sword had more flower patterns.


    Then, the man put his palm on the hilt of the sword and unsheathed it. He revealed a crescent-shaped de, and even the de had strange flower patterns. They looked slightly transparent while emzoned in grayish steel.


    The demons cheered loudly as the man walked past them.


    ''''The Night of the Crimson Moon is a religious night for demons. Why?'''' The man stopped once he was at the front of the demon army. He slightly lifted his skin, revealing his unusually handsome face. ''''Because, during the Crimson Moon, we happen to desire more than usual. It''s like our desires have doubled suddenly.


    ''''And demons, happen to have a lot of desires... Like my desire is to admire flowers... But, I also like making flowers, and now I feel like creating flowers out of the blood of Archangel.''''


    His strange desire caused frowns on their opponents'' faces... However, whether his desire was strange or not, this man was extremely dangerous.


    His name is Ano...


    The Demon General...


    First Rank...


    The man closest to bing the newest Demon Lord, Ano the Flower Sword!

 Chapter ?657 Zadkiel Vs. Ano.

    Chapter ?657 Zadkiel Vs. Ano.


    Zadkiel stepped through the shieldwall and stood at the front of humanity''s army. He immediately knew the danger the flower-patterned man held. It waspletely different from the aura he emitted. The aura was strong, calm, and sharp!


    In the Legacy Company''s thousand monitor room, the Primordial Gods had gathered there. It was the center of their headquarters. The monitors showed the video feed of the battlefield through mounted cameras.


    ''''He is strong...'''' Aether rubbed his clean-shaven chin and pondered aloud. He knew Zadkiel and the rest of the angels couldn''t handle one Demon General. It was rather unfortunate that they had already sent their first ranked general.


    ''''Shall we send our first yer?'''' Chronos asked.


    ''''No, they aren''t ready.'''' Gaia said and frowned. They had activated every TV in the yers'' quarters, where they could see the battlefield. They wanted them to get used to the bloodshed and the possibility of dying. It was still too soon to send them.


    ''''Then, what should we do? Zadkiel can''t handle him.''''


    Aether listened with his eyes closed. As he stared at the darkness, a vivid image appeared in his mind. It showed scenes from battles where Ano and Zadkiel fought. In each battle, Zadkiel died a miserable death and was turned into a bloody rose.


    He then changed Zadkiel to figures of different Archangels and put them against Ano. After several seconds, only one Archangel survived Ano and even seemed to slightly injure him!


    He opened his eyes with a smile and said, ''''Pull Zadkiel away from the battlefield.''''


    ''''What?'''' The Primordial Gods frowned.


    ''''Yeah.'''' Aether folded his arms and continued, ''''Send Archangel Gabriel, Herald of Visions and the Messenger of God.''''


    ''''Gabriel?'''' They were startled at first. Gabriel was the odd one out of all the Archangels. He could be said to be quite untrustworthy.


    ''''Yeah, he is only one who can survive this battle.'''' Aether said confidently.


    ...


    On the battlefield.


    ''''Haah...'''' Ano took a lower stance and almost looked like he was falling forward. Everyone looked at him strangely, wondering what he was nning to do.


    Zadkiel paled slightly and held his sword in tighter grip.


    ''''Whoo...'''' After exhaling, Ano raised his head and looked straight at Zadkiel¡ªhis target. He then kicked the ground, blowing the snow away, and then heunched forward.


    He moved across the hundred meter distance instantly and appeared within the reach of Zadkiel. The crescent-shaped sword tore through the air and shed diagonally towards Zadkiel''s throat¡ªat the gap between helmet and chestte.


    Zadkiel lifted the shield and blocked the sword with an inch to spare. However, the brute strength of the sword strike broke his posture, causing him to lean slightly to one side. That gave Ano the time he needed to jump to his side, and he almost immediately stabbed the sword across Zadkiel''s hip.


    Zadkiel panicked and twisted his hip to the side slightly. The crescent-shaped sword still managed to graze across the armory and even made a lengthy cut in the waist.


    ''He is too fast and precise!'' He was thinking anxiously in his mind. He immediately knew he was outssed.


    The rest of the angels could only watch helplessly as Zadkiel got pushed back. This fight was out of their league and they would just get in the way and might speed up Zadkiel''s death.


    Ano didn''t rest for a moment and shed horizontally. The sword cut through the chest te and even grazed the skin. A lot of blood gushed out from the crack in the armor.


    Zadkiel gritted his teeth and pushed the shield forward. With the shield, he managed to hit Ano in the shoulder and push him a step backward. Then, he raised his sword and shed it down vertically.


    Ano nimbly stepped to the side and dodged the vertical sh. He looked like he was dancing on the snowy ground.


    ''''The Flower Bloom!'''' The flower-patterned image on the de suddenly started shining. Ano shed down at the ground, cutting through the soil and causing a five-meter long crevice to appear. Then, a beautiful white-colored rose bloomed from the crack, and it was almost five meters in height.


    However, as soon as the flower bloomed, all the soldiers started feeling worse. It was like they suddenly had fever and felt like puking.


    ''Poison?!'' Zadkiel was the first one to notice. He quickly covered his nose with his shield-wielding hand and turned to the army. ''''Cover your nose and mouth!''''


    They did as they were told, but now they werepletely useless since they couldn''t wield their weapons.


    ''''You should look at me..." An indifferent voice sounded behind him. Zadkiel whipped around and saw a crescent-shaped de only an inch away from piercing through his throat.


    ''I am dead...'' Zadkiel thought and resigned himself to his fate.


    nk... out of nowhere, Ano''s sword was deflected to the side. Then, an illusionary sh tore through the air and shed through the white-colored rose. The flower turned wrinkly and disappeared into specks of light. Everyone started feeling normal again.


    ''''?!'''' Zadkiel turned to the person who had saved him and was startled. A beautiful golden-haired man held a rapier with its de touching Ano''s throat.


    "Oi, oi.'''' Gabriel grinned. ''''You have fast reflexes.''''


    ''''...'''' Ano stood indifferently as the rapier''s de grazed his throat. He saw Gabriel appear, but was taken slightly off-guard by his speed. However, he still managed to react. The crescent-shaped de was touching Gabriel''s torso and was an inch away from tearing through his flesh and heart.


    ''''Zadkiel, you were ordered to retreat!'''' Gabriel said while slight sweatdrops trailed down his face. ''''I was ordered to fill your shoes.''''


    ''''W-What?'''' Zadkiel was shocked and soon realized why. He felt ashamed. It was because he was too weak and the Primordials had to decide on someone to rece him in fighting Ano. He could team-up with Gabriel, but it was too dangerous. They could mess up others'' rhythms and cause their deaths.


    Gabriel wasn''t necessarily stronger than he was. However, he was the best at ''''survival'''' and was perhaps the most skilled Archangel in using weapons. They seemed to be the weapons of choice to counter Ano.

 Chapter 658 Gabriel Vs. Ano.

    Chapter 658 Gabriel Vs. Ano.


    ''''Go!'''' Gabriel shouted and suddenly stepped to the side, circled around Ano and appeared behind him. He was shockingly fast!


    He shed the rapier towards Ano''s back of the head. However, almost instantly, the crescent-shaped sword appeared and blocked the rapier''s trajectory.


    Zadkiel gritted his teeth and jumped over the vast army. He entered White Paradise and continued running away with gritted teeth.


    Gabriel held the rapier in a gentle grip and suddenly tapped the ground lightly and smoothly moved to Ano''s side. He then stabbed with the rapier, but it was again parried by the crescent-shaped sword.


    Ano quickly used his nimble movements and shed rapidly with his sword. Each sh was precise and had the clear intention of killing his opponent.


    Gabriel knew he couldn''t parry the attacks. He was a user of the rapier, and the crescent-shaped de was much bigger and more durable. Thus, he used his quick movements and weaved through the shes. Once arriving at close range, he pierced the rapier forward. It tore through the air and even the wind blew around the de.


    ''''Slow.'''' Ano said and he shed the crescent-shaped de diagonally. It shredded through the air as it suddenly shoved the rapier to the side. The strength and speed were in a whole other league!


    ''''Damn...'''' Gabriel helplessly watched as his arm was slung to the side. It looked like everything he did was useless.


    Then, Ano moved his de into a thrusting stance. He lowered his stance and suddenly kicked the ground powerfully as he lunged forward with the sword piercing through the air.


    Gabriel moved across the snowy ground, almost looking like his feet never touched the ground. He dodged the sword and then shed with rapier as quickly as he could. The de moved like shes of afterimages as it approached Ano''s face.


    Ano''s knees buckled as he suddenly ducked underneath the de. His hair messily flew around him while his face still looked indifferent. He quickly jumped to his feet and shed with his sword repeatedly. As the sword cut through empty air, it looked like sh-shaped lines appeared in the air.


    Gabriel gritted his teeth and desperately moved out of the way. He managed to dodge the first row of shes, but then, Ano picked up pace and released earth-shattering sword strike. The sword grazed past his face and struck the ground.


    Boom!


    This time arge crevice appeared in the ground, and this time it was at a length of thirty meters.


    Gabriel grabbed the rapier''s hilt tightly and moved his arm backward. Then, he started stabbing rapidly. The thin de tore through the air hundreds of times in a matter of seconds.


    Ano quickly ced the sword on the block. However, he couldn''t dodge everything, and one of the rapier stabs went through his thigh, leaving behind a crimson bloody hole. He was slightly surprised, and his indifferent expression finally changed.


    Gabriel''s eyes widened, and he suddenly spun rapidly around, looking like a miniature whirlpool. Then, he kicked backward and mmed his foot deep into Ano''s stomach. Everyone had a deafening ''''crack'''' sound and many shuddered after hearing it.


    Ano gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt on the ground. The tiny piece of armory cracked underneath the kick and fell on the snowy ground.


    The angels gripped their hands tightly and smiled brilliantly. It looked like Gabriel was winning!


    The demons were shocked. This was not how it was supposed to go!


    ''''Shit, let''s go.'''' A lesser demon whispered to his friend.


    ''''Where?'''' His friend whispered in confusion.


    ''''While these fools fight, let''s circle around the wall and break into the city from a blind spot. Then, we can have the first taste of fresh meat!''''


    ''''Oooh, good idea!''''


    They looked around and sneakily left the formation. No one noticed them as they hid in the darkness of the night.


    ''''Whoo...'''' Ano swiped his hair back, and his indifferent gaze was officially back. He stood up like he hadn''t just been kicked by a back kick.


    Gabriel wiped his sweat. He hadn''t rxed, even for a moment. He knew none of his attacks really did any damage to Ano. The stab wound had already healed, and the kick only struck his armory.


    The demons'' regenerative power was terrifying. That made them so difficult to beat.


    ''''I shall make you the most beautiful flower.'''' Ano said, and suddenly moved the crescent-shaped de into a strange stance. The hand, holding the sword, was over his right shoulder and his muscles were tense, revealing the bulging muscles. The de was aimed slightly downward.


    ''The most beautiful flower?'' Gabriel frowned and wondered what the hell he meant by that.


    ''''The Flower Maker!'''' Ano shouted and suddenly appeared in front of Gabriel. No one managed to react to it. He then pierced the sword forward, and it tore straight through Gabriel''s torso.


    ''''Ptui!'''' Gabriel coughed out blood and looked absolutely shocked. The de was sticking through his body and he felt surprisingly warm andfortable...


    Ano''s corner of lips slightly curled upward. The flower pattern again glowed in the de, and it looked like he was trying to make Gabriel into another flower!


    As the angels shouted in shock and the demonsughed, Gabriel shockingly wiped the blood off his lips and headbutted Ano across his face.


    ''''?!'''' Ano fell backward with his nose bleeding. He nimblynded on his feet and slid backward another dozen meters beforeing to a stop. He looked back at Gabriel, who was squirming in pain.


    ''''God damn it!'''' Gabriel shouted and looked at therge hole in his body. It was gushing with blood, and it looked like he was going to die.


    ''''HEAL!'''' He shouted, and suddenly twelve metal wings unfurled from his back. He had twelve wings, and they were even made of metal!


    The wound in his chest suddenly closed, revealing unblemished skin without any scars or injuries.


    ''''Aaaahhhh!'''' He shouted loudly and as soon as the pain was gone, he swiped his hair back and spat out the rest of the blood out.


    ''''What the hell are you?'''' Ano asked with tilted head. ''''Are you actually Archangel?''''

 Chapter ?659 Killing Demon Army.

    Chapter ?659 Killing Demon Army.


    ''''Of course I am an Archangel!'''' Gabriel shouted and raised his rapier. ''But I also happen to have some God blood in me.'' He added inside his heart.


    ''''...'''' Ano sighed and stepped forward. His crescent-shaped de pierced through the air. Then, Gabriel covered his body with his metal wings and stopped the advancement of the sword. He then used two of his back wings to make himself float.


    As he hovered a meter above the ground, he suddenly spun and rammed straight into Ano with metal wings, scratching across Ano''s body, leaving bloody cuts behind.


    ''''...'''' Ano stood his ground while not even flinching. The blood dripped down his garments, but he still looked indifferent. As the clock hit zero, all his wounds healed miraculously.


    ''''This is not very fair...'''' Gabriel sighed and suddenly felt very tired. The mental exhaustion of fighting with your life on the line was not something to be trifled with. In some senses, it was even worse than physical exhaustion, especially in the case when two highly ranked individuals fought.


    They might not get physically tired, but they might get mentally tired. In this case, Gabriel was feeling extremely well¡ªhe wasn''t tired or even in danger of exhausting his stamina. However, his mentality was strained and he felt like his shoulders were turning sluggish and heavier.


    While the battle was happening, two demons had arrived on the other side of White Paradise. There were tall stone walls blocking their advancement. However, they had already prepared for it.


    They quietly dug into the ground and dug a tunnel below the wall, then reappeared on the other side of the wall. They had arrived at the White Paradise!


    ''''Hihihi...'''' Theyughed creepily and stood up while looking around. They were standing in a deste alley and were hearing the sound of TV sting from stereos. They could also hear voices.


    They exchanged nces and nodded. They crouched and moved sneakily. Soon, they arrived at the windowstool and peered inside the building. They saw three women and one man watching the TV. They looked slightly pale-faced and were cheering for Gabriel''s victory.


    ''''Hihihi, fresh meat.'''' The demons slowly opened the window and were prepared to step inside. Then, ''''spurt'''' echoed in the dark alleyway and two heads rolled across the pavement.


    The demons fell down¡ªheadless. They were suddenly attacked from behind and killed!


    ''''As expected. These filthy creatures find ways to cheat.'''' Archangel Uriel said indifferently. He was Archanger who helped the less fortunate ones. In other words, he was the hero of the poor.


    He wasn''t the only one keeping an eye on other parts of the walls. There were hundreds of eyes on the lookout. They noticed immediately that two demons had entered White Paradise.


    Uriel closed the window, unfurled his beautiful white wings, and flew across the air. The alleyway turned dark, leaving behind only two demon corpses and white feathers, whichnded on top of the dead-looking heads.


    ...


    In the thousand monitor room.


    ''''Gabriel can''t keep going on forever.'''' Chronos said sternly. ''''He is already starting to overexhaust his brain power. He is going to be even slower from now on.''''


    Aether sighed and nodded. ''''Yeah, he can''t win, it seems. We need to change the war from an individual battle to an army battle. That is the only way we can win. They have stronger individual powers.''''


    ''''Should we send someone else to attack Ano? Have tag-team against him?''''


    "No, the demons would send someone else to help him. Then, our side has even less chance of victory.'''' Aether gazed at the monitors and soon thought of an idea. ''''However, if we take down the demons'' army, who are watching the match, Ano has to retreat, and the demons have to send another army. It would again change from an individual to a team battle.''''


    ''''How should we do that?''''


    ''''Well, now we need sharpshooters.'''' Aether said. ''''Send King us, Simo, Apollo, and Vasily Zaytsev to take care of them.''''


    ...


    ''''I got it...'''' Inside a humble abode, Simo opened his eyes while he was sitting on a poarch. He heard the voice of a god inside his mind, telling him to go finish off the demon army.


    He rubbed his head and picked up a sniper rifle from his side and stood up. As he started walking towards the wall, he noticed three other individuals jumping across the air. The first person was a handsome, golden-haired man. There was a bow strapped on his back and he donned a yellow robe with a sun insignia.


    The second was King us, holding the ck-clothed sniper rifle. Andstly, a brown-haired man, quite handsome, jumped towards the wall with an indifferent expression. However, after seeing Simo, his eyes shed with some interest.


    Simo picked up his pace and soon arrived on top of the wall. The others were already waiting for him.


    They exchanged nces before turning towards the vast army. No one had yet to see them arrive.


    ''''Do not miss your shots.'''' Apollo said sternly. He pulled out his bow and ced five arrows on it. ''''We have only this one shot. Let''s kill all of them swiftly.


    ''''...'''' King us didn''t answer. He had already started aiming towards the demon army.


    Vasily went into a kneeling position and ced the sniper rifle''s butt against his shoulder. His posture was perfect, while his breathing had turned calm.


    Simo copied his stance and rxed significantly. There was a certain harmonious atmosphere in his every movement. It was like he did everything perfectly. His movements were even more fluid than Vasily''s.


    Vasily caught sight of it and turned silent.


    ''''Fire on my mark.'''' Apollo took themand. ''''Three, two, one...''''


    After saying "one," King us immediately pulled the trigger. Vasily and Simo pulled the triggers at the same time, while Apollo let go of his arrows.


    The projectiles rippled through the skies, across the battlefield and past the fighting Ano and Gabriel. Then, the demons saw something flying towards them but couldn''t react. Apollo''s arrows drilled through them like they were made of hot butter.


    King us''s bullets shredded through the demon''s skulls.


    Vasily''s and Simo''s bullets did the most damage, as their bullets caused wide-spread damage.


    After all the attacks were finished, there was only sea of demon corpses left. They managed to kill every single demon in the first army!

 Chapter 660 The Bloodshed.

    Chapter 660 The Bloodshed.


    ''''?!'''' Ano''s body suddenly turned cold, and he quickly retreated a dozen meters. Once he was far enough from Gabriel, he turned around and was shocked to see the demon army dead on the ground.


    ''''Hah.'''' Gabriel turned towards the tall walls. ''''Insane.''''


    The army of humanity cheered loudly, and they all felt like they had won the first battle!


    Simr cheers were heard in almost every White Paradise building. Everyone felt like winning the war wasn''t impossible!


    ''''Hmm.'''' Ano turned back to the army and snorted. ''''Look at them. They managed to kill the lowest group of demons in their army and already think they have won. It''s my duty to shed some light on the truth!''''


    He stepped on the ground and left behind a group of afterimages as he stepped through the battlefield with insane speed. He appeared in front of the shocked Gabriel and drove his sword forward.


    Gabriel anxiously ced the metal wings on the block, but he soon noticed that the sword strike never came. Instead, Ano leaped over him and appeared on top of humanity''s army.


    ''''Flower''s Destruction!'''' He shouted and grabbed the sword with both hands before spinning around like a raging tornado. He appeared in the midst of the army, and rose-shaped flowers flew out of the de. They looked transparent. However, whoever touched them died immediately!


    The flowers moved across the battlefield like a demonic gue and killed dozens of soldiers with each second!


    ''''No!'''' Gabriel shouted and jumped towards Ano. He pushed his rapier forward, stabbing repeatedly. He wanted to stop whatever Ano was doing!


    Ano simply parried the rapier and hacked his sword down. It was dodged by Gabriel, and he immediately returned to stabbing. They fought while the flowers caused havoc.


    Gabriel couldn''t stop Ano from killing everyone on the battlefield!


    Everyone watching TV was despairing. Humanity''s first army was also dying!


    ''''Shit!'''' Aether smashed his hands on the table and sighed heavily. There was nothing they could do to stop this. He expected Ano to retreat and regroup. However, he was crazy and wanted to do everything by himself.


    Gaia sped her hands together and looked pained as she felt so many life signals disappear.


    On the battlefield, Gabriel was powerless to stop Ano. The corpses were gathering beneath his feet and he could feel screams of help and mercy. However, there was nothing he could do.


    The architect student, who managed to injure the dragon-scaled demon, was also hit by the flowers and screamed before dying. The Inhumans and New-Gen Humans shouted the names of their wives, daughters, sons, and family members before perishing.


    Then, a sh of golden light appeared in the sky. It was like the sun appeared in the midst of darkness. The heat was unbearable and most of them started to cry in pain. However, those flowers vanished under the immense heat, and once they were gone, the heat disappeared as well.


    ''''?'''' Ano frowned and smashed his foot on Gabriel''s torso. The single kick caused the Archangel to fall down to his knees.


    Ano then raised his sword and hacked it down. When it was about to separate Gabriel''s head cleanly off, a sword appeared in the path andpletely parried Ano''s crescent-shaped sword away.


    ''''...'''' Ano looked at the golden-haired man without emotion. He quickly returned with another sh, however the golden sword moved with perfect uracy and again parried his sword away.


    Apollo danced across the corpses and quickly pushed Ano step by step backward. However, soon he came to a stop, causing Ano to frown.


    Apollo lowered his sword and made a lengthy cut on the ground. Soon, there was a clear hundred-meter mark on the ground.


    ''''No demon shalle any closer.'''' He said in his warm tone.


    Ano looked at the mark with indifference. He was about to make his move, but then Lucifer''s voice echoed in his mind. He slowly sheathed the weapon, turned around, and started walking away.


    That shocked everyone watching.


    Apollo sighed and looked at the corpses strewn across the battlefield. It was a heart-wrenching sight, but this was the cruel truth of war.


    Hemanded lesser angels toe and clean up the battlefield before the next battle would start. He led Gabriel into the White Paradise. There were still many battles left.


    In the first battle, there wasn''t any victor. The demon army died, but so did humanity''s. There were less than a hundred survivors, which was almost nothing when there were a few thousand at first. It was a bloodbath.


    The atmosphere was tense in White Paradise and many were trembling in fear and anxiety.


    Luna and Alice watched the TV silently. Now, they were slightly fearful and didn''t really want to stay there.


    Luna caressed her belly and said, ''''Why is this happening?''''


    Alice silently hugged her legs and buried her face in her arms. ''''I am not too sure, but I am scared.''''


    The same scene was seen in each building. Everyone was feeling afraid and didn''t want to be here. They felt slightly unlucky and felt resentful towards Arthur, who sent them here to die. However, they knew better than anyone what was in line. Theizens might still be oblivious, but they know the demons wouldn''t let them just live.


    They were creatures of darkness. They kill without blinking, destroy lives without remorse and liked torturing innocent souls.


    While most of them shuddered in fear, there was a strange scene happening in a two-bedroom building. A tired-looking man was donning an armor. It was steel armor with moon insignia, used by Inhumans. However, this man was obviously not Inhuman. Instead, he was yer!


    This man wasn''t afraid of the demons, but was afraid of death. However, he wore the armor with a smile on his tired face.


    After strapping the armor and putting the sheathed crimson axe on his back, he looked like he was ready to fight an army all by himself.


    ''''This shall do.'''' He said and looked at himself in the mirror. The reflection showed a fatigued face and shiny armor.


    Amour, the undefeated yer, had entered the stage!

 Chapter ?661 The Second Battle.

    Chapter ?661 The Second Battle.


    The army had gathered in the streets of White Paradise. They were introduced to their newmander, who would lead the next battle. It was surprisingly God Ares, the God of War, who took the lead.


    The soldiers immediately felt energetic. Even though many of them witnessed the deaths of their friends andrades, they still thought they could win with God on their side. And, it wasn''t only a god, it was the God of War, who specialized in the art of war.


    The God Ares stood loftily at the front of the army. He didn''t speak a word, but his aura alone increased the momentum of the aura. That was the effect God of War had.


    In the middle of the army, Amour stood silently while wearing the helmet that covered his face. His muscles were bulging in anticipation as the start of the battle was nearing. He was the sessor of the God of War, making him also stronger during times of war.


    During the wait, Amour heard fellow soldiers whispering.


    ''''Why are we forced to fight?'''' A young man in his early twenties asked his friend. ''''Why does this feel like a punishment?''''


    ''''I know right..." his friend replied with an unwilling expression. ''''The gods should deal with this threat by themselves. We are just cannon fodder. You saw what that flower demon did. Hepletely annihted everyone. Everyone, except Archangels, were useless!''''


    ''''Sigh, I want to return home.'''' The young man sighed while looking at the night sky. ''''I was supposed to have a date with my girlfriend.''''


    ''''Why aren''t the Gods attacking simultaneously?'''' his friend asked thoughtfully. ''''They could just attack those spaceships, kill the demons, and call off the day. Why are they ying the long game? We are dying worthless deaths.''''


    ''''Well, at least God Ares is leading us. I pity the first army, who only had Archangel and ended up dying. We should survive, but just to be sure, let''s stay closer to the gates.''''


    ''''Sounds good.''''


    Amour didn''t change his expression while listening to the conversation. The same scene happened in the rows ahead of him and behind him. Everyone was treating this war as a bother and an inconvenience. No one realized that they were fighting for everyone''s survival.


    As the clock struck loudly, the gates opened and, with God Ares as their leader, they all marched out of the gates and surrounded the hundred meter radius from the gate. There were still body parts and blood strewn across the soily ground. The snow had melted away and they were standing on top of frozen soil.


    They turned their gaze to the faraway spaceship. A small spaceshipnded on the outskirts of the forest. Then, the doors swung open, revealing thousands of mad-looking demons. They ran out and started rushing towards humanity''s army.


    At the back of the demon''s army, a cold-looking man stepped out of the spaceship. His eyes were slits; his skin was red; his body was built strangely. There were bones protruding through his flesh, and he looked like a monster.


    He was a Demon General, Second Rank, Raizo the Bone Monster.


    With his muscr body, he stomped on the ground and followed the demon''s army, who were running ahead of him.


    The demon''s army roared and screamed.


    ''''Shieldwall!'''' God Ares shouted and Angels appeared in front of him. They ced their long golden shields in front of them.


    ''''Spearmen and Bowmen!'''' The New-Gen Humans grabbed their spears tightly and positioned behind the angels. The Inhumans raised their bows and aimed towards the sky.


    ''''Fire!''''


    The arrows tore through the air and pierced through the approaching demons. As they died one after another, the arrows suddenly stopped descending, and the demons who survived arrived in front of the shieldwall. They rammed into the shields and managed to break the angel''s formation.


    ''''Spears!'''' God Ares immediatelymanded. The New-Gen Humans lunged forward and drilled their spears through the demons. The demons'' advancement was again stopped.


    It didn''t take long for fresh blood to stain the ground with corpses. The demons screamed and rammed into spears and shields one after another. The angels had to grit their teeth and use all their strength to stop themselves from being pushed back.


    ''''I will eat your eyes and tongue!'''' A demon screamed while wing against the golden sword. His words frightened the New-Gen Humans, and they stopped using their spears for a moment. That gave enough time for demons to leap over the shields. Without spears to stop them, they managed to ovee the shieldwall.


    ''''Hihihi!'''' A demon grabbed a young man by his throat and sank his teeth into his face. He took a mouth-sized bite, leaving the man without a nose.


    ''''Aaaaaaaah!'''' The young man screamed in fear and copsed on the ground. He was instantly stomped by a dozen demons and died without being able to do anything.


    The angels were suddenly attacked by both the front and the back. They were trapped in-between and couldn''t do anything and were suddenly rendered useless. The ws, maces, and swords shed down at them, separating their limbs and inflicting lengthy wounds on their bodies.


    The angels'' despiring screams reverberated across the sky. They were soon overwhelmed and the shieldmen were eventually killed.


    The spearmen immediately started retreating. They started pushing each other, making the scene a proper mess.


    ''''Look ahead! Don''t turn your backs on the enemy!'''' God Ares shouted with anger and swung his two-handed axe. With one sh, he killed four demons.


    However, then a silhouette jumped over the sea of an army and smashed his fist against Ares'' axe.


    Ares gritted his teeth and looked at the bone monster, who attacked him. He quickly parried the fist away and hacked his axe down. However, it was swiftly dodged by Raizo, who quickly used his bones and stabbed deep into the god''s shoulder.


    ''''Argh!'''' Ares reeled in his head and headbutted Raizo. The demon staggered backward, and then Ares smashed his axe across his torso.


    ''''?!'''' Raizo''s eyes widened in surprise as blood gushed out of his torso. He suffered arge wound, which reached from his shoulder all the way to his waist.


    ''''N-Not bad!'''' He shouted while coughing up blood.

 Chapter 662 Crimson Menace.

    Chapter 662 Crimson Menace.


    ''''S-Someone help!'''' The soldiers shouted while trying to climb over their fellowrades. Everyone was panicking, and those closest to the gates had already retreated to the White Paradise. It wasn''t looking good!


    Amour moved through the screaming soldiers. It was like he was trying to swim against tidal waves. However, soonter, he managed to reach the frontlines of the army and instantly came face-to-face with hungry-looking demons.


    He drew his crimson axe and held it with both hands while shing through the demons. He immediately left behind the corpses of two red-skinned demons.


    The scene had already attracted the attention of the demons. There were basically only two men fighting, while everyone else was trying to run away. They were God Ares and Amour.


    ''''?'''' God Ares kicked Raizo away and turned to the battlefield. He was angry at the scene he was seeing. However, after seeing one man fighting, he nodded with appreciation. But then, the crimson axe caught his attention and made him gasp in shock.


    ''Amour, why are you here?'' he asked from himself, but soon knew why. ''I see. Even you were unable to stand still when war was happening right outside your door. I know what you are feeling!''


    God Ares felt exactly the same when he was younger. The only thing on his mind was war and battles. It was a thrilling and addictive feeling. He hadn''t taught Amour to keep those impulses in check. He didn''t have time to do so.


    ''He doesn''t have to control those impulses. Use all those impulses; it makes you strong!'' God Ares grinned and continued his fight against Raizo. The bloodshed started as two giants started trading blows.


    ''''Argh!'''' Amour gritted his teeth in pain as he was suddenly tackled by two demons. They grabbed his legs and pulled him down to the ground.


    The demons immediately gathered around him. Their mouths salivated and their eyes turned crimson. There were close to twenty demons surrounding fallen Amour, and they all looked like they had missed breakfast and were feeling incredibly hungry!


    ''''Hands off me!'''' Amour smashed his fist into the demon''s skull and freed his right arm. He wielded the crimson axe with only his right hand, but even that was enough. He shed diagonally and shredded through the demons'' throats and bodies. Their body parts flew across the air.


    Amour ced his hands below him and flipped himself over. After finishing his backflip, he grabbed the crimson axe with both hands and rushed against the demons'' army alone. There were thousands of demons rushing towards him!


    ''''Dieeee!'''' Amour swung the axe and rammed into the demons. The thousands of demons pushed into him like a thousand cars, and he was immediately run over.


    Amour crashed on the ground and was immediately stomped over by hundreds of demons. The golden blood started flowing down from his nostrils and mouth.


    The demons stomped over Amour and continued chasing after the retreating army. There were only a few hundred soldiers from humanity''s army left on the battlefield. Everyone else had entered White Paradise already and scurried away into the streets.


    ''''No..'''' Amour awkwardly stood up and was immediately attacked by hundreds of demons, who were surrounding him. They were like a pack of wolves, lunging towards their prey.


    Amour''s arms were locked by the demons, and then some of the demons lunged forward and sank their long teeth into his throat and body.


    ''''?!'''' He coughed out golden blood and felt incredibly cold suddenly. It was like the demons were sucking all the body fluids from his body. Soon, the demons again swept his legs from underneath him, causing him to fall back to the ground. The demons immediately mounted him and started munching on his flesh like ravenous beasts.


    ''''No...'''' Amour muttered while only seeing the faces ofughing demons in his vision. He stretched his blood-covered arm towards the faraway sky and started regretting giving in to his impulses. He could still be watching the battle from his TV, enjoying the warmth of the building. Now, he was being eaten alive.


    The pain was unimaginable and it was the only thing he felt. This was a fate he wouldn''t even want to share with his worst enemies.


    ''''W-Why... did my impulses betray me...'''' Amour thought while streaks of tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes. He started thinking about his father, his deceased mother, and her brilliant smile. Then, the images started warping, and suddenly he imagined them getting eaten alive like this.


    His eyes immediately mmed open and a crimson glow left his body. The crimson axe suddenly started glowing brighter than ever before, and the ck night sky suddenly became crimson!


    ''''CRIMSON MENACE!'''' Amour''s shout echoed across all the continents and even reached the ears of Demon Kings. They couldn''t mask their surprise as they saw the darkness disappearing, reced by crimson.


    The demons surrounding Amour suddenly started exploding. They were like human bombs. The demons who arrived at the gates of the White Paradise suddenly exploded. They were only a step away from entering the city.


    Amour was left alone in the midst of exploding demons. Their corpses weren''t left behind, but instead pools of blood and ashes.


    ''''Ah... ahh...'''' Amour tried to stand up but he was heavily injured. Even breathing was difficult, let alone standing. His legs were bleeding as he was eaten by several spots. It was a horrendous scene.


    Then, a deste drone flew into the air. It filmed everything. Everyone watching from their TVs was utterly terrified, and many were worried for Amour''s well-being. Was he going to survive those injuries?


    ''Amour...'' Ares gritted his teeth as he dodged Raizo''s sudden punch. He couldn''t help his sessor and was shocked to see Amour end up in that state. It seemed that he didn''t enter the state of impulse at first. Instead, it took him much longer, and that caused the crimson sky. He finally entered that state.


    It''s strange since it was a legacy skill and Amour could have used that skill since the beginning.


    ''What are you nning, Amour?'' Ares thought his sessor had something up his sleeve, but this was madness!


    Amour reached his hand towards the crimson sky and let out a weak smile. ''''I now understand... the secret behind demons'' regeneration...''''

 Chapter ?663 Lucifers Power.

    ?663 Lucifer''s Power.


    ''Return...''


    Raizo stopped attacking after hearing a voice in his mind. He quickly jumped backward, dodging Ares'' axe and leaped off to the distance. He was immediately gone.


    Ares rested the axe against his shoulder and turned to the battlefield. He grimaced at the sight of so many corpses, especially the half-eaten corpses of Inhumans and New-Gen Humans. Then, he noticed Amour clutching his stomach while struggling to stand up.


    ''''Amour!'''' He quickly strapped the axe on his back and jumped over to Amour. As Ares grabbed him by his arm, he helped him stand up.


    ''''Ugh...'''' Amour wiped the blood off his face and weakly smiled. ''''I am not feeling too good...''''


    Ares grimaced and quickly helped Amour to walk towards the gates. There were healers on the way.


    During the painful walk, he asked. ''''Amour, why didn''t you use impulse immediately?''''


    ''''I...'''' Amour wryly smiled. ''''Wanted to test something... I am not sure if it is right or if I suffered for nothing.''''


    ''''What is it?'''' Ares asked curiously.


    ''''I think... the secret behind Demon''s regeneration is ''''Devour''''.'''' Amour said hesitantly. ''''When they eat, they can regenerate using their devouring ability to heal their abilities. That''s what I understood. I tested that by injuring one of them. Then he ate one portion of my flesh and immediately healed.


    ''''I think their regeneration powers are slower when they are hungry. However, when their stomach is full, their regenerative power works immediately.''''


    Ares'' eyes widened in surprise. ''He was testing that by letting them eat him? Is he crazy?! But... he might be correct and that might help us tremendously!''


    Healers soon arrived and took Amour. After Ares was left alone, he quickly ran towards the headquarters and soon arrived in the thousand monitor room.


    ''''Aether!''''


    ''''Hmm?'''' Aether turned away from the monitors and turned over to Ares. ''''Ares?''''


    Arthur looked away from theputer screen and turned to Ares with raised eyebrow. The rest of the primordials also looked away from the monitors.


    ''''I am sorry for not being able to control the army better.'''' Ares sighed with resignation. ''''I didn''t know how scared they were. The calmness the first army showed blinded me.''''


    ''''It''s alright.'''' Aether turned back to the screens. ''''It was unexpected that they were that terrified.''''


    Ares nodded, then hesitantly said. ''''Amour found something and I think we should discuss about it.''''


    ''''Is he alright?'''' Gaia suddenly quipped.


    ''''Yes, Goddess Gaia.'''' Ares said humbly. ''''Healers are currently taking care of him. However, I want to talk about something he discovered during the battle that might help us.''''


    ''''What is it?'''' Aether asked.


    Ares then talked about what Amour discovered. The further he told, more primordial gods changed in their expression. After saying it all, they became silent and pondered deeply over it.


    ''''Amour might not bepletely off. However, I am not sure if "devour'''' is everything demons have.'''' Aether said with a frown. ''''Amour did very well in finding this out, and we should now have some idea how to kill demons more efficiently.''''


    ...


    Outside of Four Seasons.


    Lucifer watched as Raizo returned with the spaceship. The rest of the Demon Kings and Demon Lords didn''t look worried or anxious. They were calm, like the first two battles meant nothing.


    ''''...'''' Lucifer gazed across the Four Seasons and saw the green wind shrouding the entire world while the air was very turbulent. They were obviously only directed to fight in White Paradise. However, that wasn''t what Lucifer wanted. He wanted wide-spread chaos.


    ''''I am done ying nicely.'''' Lucifer said, pointing his finger towards the world. ''''Vanish.''''


    The Demon Kings and Demon Lords widened their eyes in surprise. King Lucifer was actually using his ability?!


    Then, after the voice reverberated across Four Seasons, the wind that protected other continents suddenly vanished. It was like it had never existed before!


    The citizens could once again enter the streets once the wind disappeared. They inhaled the fresh air, without realizing that they were all in grave danger!


    In the thousand monitor room, Gaia widened her eyes in fear.


    All Primordial Gods looked grave.


    ''''Damn,municate with government! All humanity''s army had to be ready to fight the demons! We cannot stop them from going on rampage!'''' Aether screamed toward Arthur.


    Arthur nodded and made several phone calls. His voice was severe.


    ''''Send third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eight, ninth, and tenth armies." Lucifermanded with a cold expression.


    Then, eight spaceships descended on Four Seasons. They all went in different directions, to different countries and continents.


    ''''Leviathan, go give a trouble for our dead primordial gods.'''' Lucifer turned to the long, blue-haired man.


    Leviathan smirked slightly and flew directly to the Four Seasons. His speed caused the air to explode as he entered supersonic speed. He soon arrived on top of White Paradise and released a deafening cry.


    ''''Kraaaaaaaaaaaa!'''' His scream cracked the earth and caused the walls to crumble into pieces. The ordinary soldiers paled in fright and shuddered in fear. The level of the war had increased tremendously!


    Leviathan then straightened his back and his blue eyes became increasingly deeper. His tall, lean body started slowly transforming. He became fatter and much bigger. The blue hide slowly engulfed every piece of skin as he grew bigger and bigger.


    Soon, a one-kilometer long sea serpent appeared on top of White Paradise. It was covered in indestructible blue hide, while its sharp teeth could bite through metal effortlessly. Its long tail could reach all the way to the mountains, and its tall body covered the entire sky.


    It was mostly the color of blue and smelled like salt water.


    Leviathan slowly opened its mouth and arge ball appeared in the depths of its mouth. The ball expanded, until it covered its entire mouth. Then, Leviathan spat the ball out and it exploded immediately, making a kilometer long explosion above White Paradise.


    The explosion started descending towards White Paradise like a wall of fire.


    Everyone watched as the wall of fire descended with a helpless expression. There was nothing they could do!


    However, then a dome of water shrouded the entire city and subdued the fire immediately. Leviathan growled and turned to the woman, who stood on top of Legacy Company''s headquarters roof. She was Ceto, the Primordial Goddess of the Sea.

 Chapter 664 MY PLANET.

    664 MY PLANET.


    The rest of the world was in a rtively peaceful state. They were scared shitless after the appearance of the spaceships. However, after nothing happened for several hours, they thought it was something god-rted. However, then the spaceships started spreading across the world, and destruction followed.


    On top of a small city in Wintend, a spaceship appeared and hummed loudly. The citizens started panicking and crying towards the spaceship. They had a sinking feeling that something terrible was about to happen.


    Then, the spaceship''s doors opened and thousands of demonic-looking demons jumped out. They fell straight down to the streets like lunatic suicide jumpers. However, as soon as they crashed into the pavement, they were healed of all their injuries and they stood up without any problem.


    The pedestrians cried in horror, then the demons startedughing and grinning. They immediately lunged forward and attacked the pedestrians!


    The cries of pedestrians echoed across the air as they were suddenly attacked by demonic creatures. Soon, the cries turned to pleas of mercy as they were slowly subdued by the darkness. They were ruthlessly killed, and the demons immediately went after others.


    ''''Mommy, mommy!'''' A little girl wandered in the streets while calling for her mother. The streets were in state of disorder as the demons attacked everyone they saw. Then, the little girl stopped in front of a corpse with familiar face.


    ''''M-Mommy?'''' She crouched and tried to wake up her mother. However, she didn''t even blink. Then, arge shadow appeared behind her. She turned around and her tearful eyes suddenly widened in horror. A demonic creature was licking his cracked lips while looking down at the frightened young human.


    He reached his hand towards the little girl, about to touch her hair while she sobbed softly. Then, a small rock hit him in the head.


    The demon didn''t move an inch and turned to the person who struck him in the head with the rock. He saw a glimpse of three beautiful maiden''s, but then one of them slid over, kicked him on the kneecap--forcing him onto knees.


    The demon was slightly surprised and then saw the beautiful maiden snatching the little girl and running away.


    ''''Go!'''' One of them shouted and attacked the demon. She leaped off the ground and smashed her feet into his head. His head was slightly pushed down, but he didn''t feel any pain. They were weak...


    ''''A tasty new flesh, I like it.'''' The demon said and tried to capture the soft-looking leg. However, then the third woman kicked his hand away and smashed her other leg through the demon''s groin.


    ''''Are you trying to make me horny? Dirty girls, kikikikiki!'''' The demon grinned hideously, frightening the two women. The one who took the little girl stopped at the end of the street and quickly hid the little girl inside an abandoned shop. She then ran back to the battle and saw the demon slowly rising to his feet.


    The three women were a rather famous trio in White Online. They were called the Goddess Trio. Their in-game names were Hellsky, WinterLove, and SnowMaiden.


    However, they weren''t Chain Breakers and were far from their White Online strengths. They were powerless against demons.


    But, they didn''t stand back down and attacked the frightening-looking demon. Hellsky low-kicked the demon, trying to push him back to his knees. However, the demon didn''t even flinch as the kicknded on his shinbone. Then, WinterLove kneed him in the face, but he simply grabbed her by her supple thigh.


    WinterLove''s face paled in fright as the disgusting hand groped her thigh. She waspletely trapped!


    ''''Hands off her!'''' SnowMaiden smashed her feet across the demon''s face, causing him to let go of the thigh.


    ''''I like when they struggle...'''' The demon grinned and turned over to them. ''''I really do...''''


    ...


    On top of Snowstar.


    ''''...'''' Isaac sat silently while looking across thend. He could see the happenings of all the neighboring countries. Thus, he could also see the spaceships and the chaos the demons were causing.


    He silently stood up and muttered. ''''Explorer of Life...''''


    With a sh of green light, he disappeared from Snowstar...


    ...


    Bam! The demon grabbed SnowMaiden by her throat and mmed her through a concrete wall. She coughed out blood. Her back suffered quite a lot of damage. Her body was still fragile and quite weak. She couldn''t take so much damage!


    ''''Annie!'''' Hellsky and WinterLove cried out towards their friends. They rushed forward, but then two demons fell from the sky andnded right in front of them. They grinned hideously as they moved over to the two beautiful humans.


    SnowMaiden tried to hit the demon in the face, but could barely make a dent. She could only struggle helplessly while the demon scratched her skin with his long nail. He then slowly moved his finger to her cheek before moving to the lips.


    ''''Humans are indeed beautiful. Far better than those filthy demon whores, who spread their legs immediately. I like it when humans struggle; it''s very arousing.'''' The demon said, and slowly lowered his head. He couldn''t take it any longer and stretched his hand lower. However, then his body froze.


    The two demons, surrounding Hellsky and WinterLove, froze before copsing!


    The demon holding SnowMaiden clutched his chest before falling down with foam pouring out of his mouth. SnowMaiden, Hellsky, and WinterLove were shocked!


    ''''...'''' On top of a small building, Isaac looked over to the screen with a cold expression. He then waved his hand and all the demons in the city suddenly copsed. The demons were attacking, eating, and assaulting others while they suddenly copsed lifelessly to the ground.


    ''''Annie, are you alright?'''' Hellsky and WinterLove helped their friend to her feet. She nodded shakily while still frozen in fear. The whole thing felt like a nightmare.


    ''''Are you three alright?''''


    Then, they all flinched after hearing a voice. They turned around and saw a handsome white-haired man standing between two demon corpses. He was wearing a hoodie with loose trousers. He looked like he was going for a jog.


    ''''E-Eh...'''' Hellsky squinted her eyes before eximing. ''''W-Wraith?!''''


    WinterLove and SnowMaiden widened their eyes in shock. They then remembered the previously beautiful boy and reced the image with the current handsome man. They had, of course, seen him on TV and were shocked by how much he had changed.


    Isaac softly nodded after seeing them alright. He then straightened his sleeves and said. ''''Stay inside and don''te out until it''s safe.


    ''''W-Wraith, no... Isaac, what are you going to do? Come with us!'''' Hellsky said and stretched her hand forward.


    ''''Hehe, even though that sounds tempting, I have a job to do.'''' Isaac chuckled humorously and suddenly started floating off the ground. The three women widened their eyes in shock. The handsome white-haired man looked like a god!


    Isaac turned his gaze to the thousands of spaceships parked outside the world and cracked his knuckles. ''''We have uninvited guests and I rather not want them in MY.''''

 Chapter ?665 Leviathan Vs. Ceto.

    ?665 Leviathan Vs. Ceto.


    Ratatata!


    The bullets flew across the night sky as the soldiers from different parts of the world tried to shoot down the spaceships. However, it turned out to be ineffective.


    ''''T-They cannot be killed!'''' a human soldier shouted while emptying his magazine while trying to shoot down a horned demon.


    The demons only shrugged off the bullets and shredded through the human army like they were made of y. There was no one to stop their advancement.


    The battle was happening in Autumnd''s Capital Country, with a poption of over a hundred million. The city was in mes and the demons freely rampaged across the streets.


    The soldiers tried desperately to stop them. They were afraid of them finding their families and friends. Thus, they put all their effort into stopping the demons. However, it proved to be useless.


    Then, tanks rolled to the streets and fired several cannonballs. After they struck any of the demons, a big explosion destroyed the pavement and the nearby buildings. However, the demons only shrugged it off like they were hit by a rock and nothing else.


    One of the demons rammed into the tank and flipped it upside down!


    The soldiers inside the tank died after the collision.


    The demon grabbed the tank and spun it around before throwing it over to the soldiers. The soldiers screamed and hurried out of the way. However, once the tanknded on the ground, it exploded and killed hundreds of the soldiers immediately.


    The situation looked hopeless.


    Theizens ran away into the streets, looking like a swarm of ants. They were chased by demons, and once they caught one of them, they immediately ended their lives. It was terrifying bloodshed.


    As the night passed, thousands of cities were bathed in blood. Even though the army and gods did everything to stop the advancement of the demons, they could barely stop them. It seemed hopeless.


    The night was endless and once the first lights of the morning dawned, the scene was horrendous. Most of the cities were in mes, with buildings burning brilliantly. All the connections to the Inte and electricity were cut off. It was like the world had entered the stone age.


    The Gods were chasing after the demons and had managed to kill thousands of them. The Primordial Gods still stayed in the White Paradise¡ªbeing careful of Demon Kings and Demon Lords.


    On top of the White Paradise, a battle between Leviathan and Ceto was raging. The sky was turning upside down while the battle was moving closer to the sea.


    Leviathan slithered across the sky, causing an enormous shadow to fall on the earth. Ceto was flying behind therge creature while sending hundreds of tridents made of sea. However, none of them managed to cut the durable hide.


    Leviathan then submerged into the water and, using its sea serpent physique, quickly started swimming further away from the surface.


    Ceto floated meters above the water surface before submerging. She saw perfectly in the dark waters and could see the enormous sea serpent diving further into the sea.


    She didn''t n on allowing it to escape.


    Ceto crossed her fingers and moved her knees to her body level. Her beautiful blue eyes then started glowing as the water started raging.


    Leviathan turned around and saw the water boiling and raging. The sea serpent was then caught off-guard as an enormous water-made trident struck its hide. It was sent flying down with rapid speed and some of the blue hide showed signs of cracking. Ceto''s attack finally injured the sea serpent!


    ''''Scraaaaaaaaaa!'''' then, Leviathan''s ear-shattering cry reverberated across the seafloor. The water suddenly exploded and sent Ceto flying hundreds of kilometers away.


    She still managed to survive without any major injuries. She then moved over to the water''s surface and created enormous waves. It was as if she had created a tsunami!


    The tsunami-like wave ran across the surface like an unstoppable monster. The water level started growing smaller, and Leviathan saw the strange phenomenon.


    Ceto, with a wave of her hand, made the tsunami disappear after traveling hundred kilometers. She then floated in the sky and created millions of spears with snap of her fingers.


    The spears were all made of water.


    ''''Thousand-Year Rain.'''' Ceto lowered her finger and then the spears tore through the water and flew straight to the sea floor.


    Leviathan was slithering across the sea floor before noticing the inhumanly quick spears. It quickly started weaving through the spears, but with its enormous body, it wasn''t that easy. Thus, the spears struck its hide and made it crack.


    If even one spear caused a crack, what about a million?


    Leviathan couldn''t stop the onught of the spears and was suddenly riddled with wounds. Its blue hide was cracking, shattering, and breaking.


    ''''Skraaaaaaaaaaaa!'''' Then, as it started feeling a slight amount of pain, Leviathan let out another deafening cry, which caused an enormous underwater wave, which swept all the spears away.


    Then, Leviathan pped its enormous tail and swam upward with incredible speed. The enormous sea serpent tore through the water surface and released a water beam from its mouth. The water beam covered the sky, and it looked like it had the ability to surround the entire in water.


    Ceto was taken off-guard and the water beam sent her flying across the sky. Her arms suffered the most from the attack. The water beam had a lot of pressure and caused both of her arms to break.


    ''''Skraaaaaaaaaa!'''' Leviathan''s following cry echoed across the air, and it was heard by every living soul in the Four Seasons. The cry made humans shudder in fear, made demons cry in joy, and caused silence within the Gods.


    Ceto looked down at the enormous sea serpent while her broken arms dangled beside her. She then did a shocking move. She straightened her back and legs, then dived straight down like a missile.


    Shended on the water, right in front of Leviathan''s slithering figure. However, almost immediately, all of her injuries healed. This was her power, Absolute Control of Sea and Water. It also had healing prowess. In the sea, she was an unbeatable existence!


    ''''Thousand-Year Drizzle!'''' Ceto pointed towards Leviathan''s enormous head, who was looking down at the water with confusion¡ªit couldn''t understand why she dived so suddenly. However, it soon became clear why.


    Above Leviathan''s enormous head, hundreds of millions of miniature raindrops appeared. Leviathan couldn''t react as the raindropsnded on its head and caused enormous damage!


    It was again like it was hit by spears, but this time they were innocent-looking raindrops!


    ''''Skraaaaaaaaaaaa!'''' this time, Leviathan''s cry of pain echoed across the world.

 Chapter 666 Satan.

    666 Satan.


    ''''All of you, return.'''' Lucifer said towards empty space. But, all the demons in Four Seasons heard him.


    The demons were annoyed that they were ordered to return. They were having fun for the first time in a long time. But, they didn''t dare go against the Demon Kings, and so they started their return to spaceships.


    Lucifer''s n wasn''t to fight till only one man was standing. He nned to cause damage to the world so that the citizens would feel fear and the soldiers would feel less motivated to fight against them. It seemed to work since everyone was trembling in fear.


    He knew if he waited for an hour or two, they would lose a lot of their demons.


    However, one thing made him frown, which wasn''t part of his calctions. All the demons he sent to the depths of Wintend mysteriously died. He sent them mostly to Starshow, Laughshow, and Trickshow. But, all the demons there died. It was a big loss that even took Lucifer off-guard.


    There wasn''t supposed to be anyone strong. He''d been keeping a close eye on the Gods and Primordial Gods. Even some of the Gods wouldn''t be able to kill all the demons like that, and none of the Primordial Gods who had the capability went there.


    So, what the hell happened?


    Lucifer didn''t like things like this. He had to know the reason for this strange phenomenon. Curiosity was eating him alive, which could be called his only weakness. He didn''t like it when things weren''t under his control.


    ''''Satan!'''' Lucifer turned around and spoke to the blood-masked man.


    Satan''s eyebrow jumped underneath the mask. He was surprised. ''''Yes?''''


    ''''Go find out why the demons died in these three countries.'''' Lucifer told the coordinates inside Satan''s mind, then continued. ''''Don''t alert the Primordial Gods.''''


    ''''Oh, okay.'''' Satan was honestly surprised. He rarely saw Lucifer act like this. It was like... everything wasn''t under his control, which was a rare thing to witness. Other Demon Kings felt the same.


    Satan took a spaceship, then masked his aura till it resembled a very weak demon, and flew with it straight to Four Seasons. The spaceship was quite small, so it flew under the radar of the Gods.


    While driving the spaceship, Satan tapped the armrest with a frown. He was wondering what made Lucifer lose hisposure for a moment. It couldn''t be a small thing, because Lucifer had eight senses. The extra three senses allowed him to predict things with incredible uracy.


    It wasn''t something he could control. But, he always had a ''''feeling'''' when something wasn''t right and became almost obsessed with finding out the reason for that feeling.


    ''He again had that feeling...'' Satan was sure of it. ''I wonder what I will find there...''


    After the spaceship arrived at the Starshow, Satan started slowly looking around out of the window. He could immediately tell if there was something odd.


    Boom!


    Out of nowhere the spaceship exploded!


    Satan lost the control of the spaceship and started flying down in a downward spiral. Before the spaceship crashed to the snowy ground, he flew out of the window, shattering it apart and then hovered in the air while the spaceship exploded beneath him.


    Satan frowned and looked around the deste snow valley. He looked like he was alone there, but he had a sinking feeling.


    Swoosh!


    Then, a spine-chilling sound entered his ears. Satan looked up at the sky and was fascinated.


    A ming meteor with a radius of several hundred kilometers descended on him. It had enough width to destroy all living beings in the Four Seasons, but Satan realized that the attack was perfectly controlled and only the snow valley would be wiped out of the face of the earth!


    ''''Hellfire!'''' Satan cried out, and his left arm was suddenly lit in a brilliant ze. The fire immediately melted all the snow in the snow valley. Then, the fire shot out towards the ming meteors.


    Once the two powers shed, an explosion echoed and caused the snow valley to be bathed in a sea of me!


    The meteor crashed to the ground while the hellfire vanished. The meteor broke the ground, shattering the earth and causing an enormous shockwave that even swept Satan''s legs from underneath him.


    Satan fell on his back, but he quickly flipped back to his feet. His frown grew as the massive meteor didn''t explode or vanish. It was simply standing there in the middle of the snow valley, and it was utterly massive!


    It was bigger than any mountain.


    Even Satan looked like an ant in front of the meteor.


    ''''I see, humanity has a monster in their ranks.'''' Satan murmured. ''''They were hiding it? How sneaky... I need to tell Lucifer, as soon as possible!''''


    As he was about to start flying, a bullet suddenly appeared right in front of his eyes. It moved at a speed that made it almost impossible to notice it!


    ''''?!'''' Satan hurriedly moved out of the way. The bullet grazed past his cheek and flew into the distance.


    A small drop of blood ran down his cheek.


    With a widened expression, Satan nced at the wound. How long had it been since he wasst injured? It must have been thousands of years.


    ''''This is...'''' Satan wiped the blood away and coldly looked into the distance--towards the faraway mountains. ''''Dangerous.''''


    In the mountains, hiding behind a small snowbank, Isaac spat out the snow he kept in his mouth. He then took another mouthful of snow from the snowbank and softly munched on it before making sure that no frozen breath would be noticeable.


    He then again aimed at faraway Satan, smiled slightly, and fired.


    Bang!


    The bullet tore through the air and appeared in front of Satan within the blink of an eye.


    Satan backhanded the bullet away with a cold expression. He frowned since he couldn''t tell where the bullet came from. He knew immediately that the person was an expert sniper and that finding such a person was nigh-impossible.


    ''''Come out!'''' he shouted. ''''Or I will destroy the entire mountain!''''


    Isaac didn''t react to the provocation. He calmly whistled and again aimed. ''You can''t keep dodging forever...''


    Bang!

 Chapter ?667 Hellfire Vs. Ice.

    ?667 Hellfire Vs. Ice.


    Satan stepped out of the bullet''s way and coated his right arm with hellfire. Luna''s own special magic allowed her to use ''''hellfire'''', but it was a much inferior version to the real hellfire, which was wielded by Satan.


    It was likeparing a candle me to a methrower.


    ''''Hellfire!'''' Satan shouted and swung his arm like he was throwing a ball. The hellfire covered the sky in golden/red mes and flew straight to the enormous mountain in the distance.


    Bang!


    Then, a bullet tore through the air, went straight through the hellfire, and exploded. The hellfire vanished suddenly, like it was blown away by a strong wind.


    ''''Hellfire!'''' As Satan smashed his palm on the ground, the hellfire flung out of his palm and started covering the entire ground in mes. The grass and soil started burning like they were being cooked, and the faraway trees were charred ck.


    The hellfire surrounded the enormous mountain; its mes were at a height of fifty meters.


    Bang!


    A bullet flew through the mes and approached Satan with breath-taking speed.


    ''''Hellfire!'''' Satan covered his left hand''s fingers with the scorching hellfire and swung his arm upward. A wave of hellfire appeared before him, which swallowed the bullet.


    Isaac softly breathed out while hiding behind the snowbank. He then slightly smirked, closed his left eye and ced his finger on the trigger. After letting out a soft breath, he pulled the trigger and activated ''''Explorer of Life''''.


    After the bullet left the barrel, a green light shrouded it and made it vanish.


    Satan perked up his ears after hearing the familiar ''''bang'''' sound. He looked through the hellfire, but didn''t see the bullet anywhere. However, then a sh of green appeared in front of him and the bullet appeared out of nowhere.


    Bam!


    The bullet struck Satan between his two brows, straight at the be. His mask happened to be on the way, but it cracked and started breaking apart.


    Thud... he copsed on the ground with disbelief shing across his face. The bullet was stuck in his be, not going through his mask. It was still spinning, like it was desperate to pierce through his skull.


    Satan grabbed the bullet with two fingers and tossed it away.


    ''''Haha...'''' he started chuckling while covering his mask. ''''I, a great Demon King of Second Heaven, am getting humiliated like this. This is a new experience...''''


    Satan, however, wasn''t angry. He had gotten so bored of his dull life. While other demons enjoyed conquering, killing, and assaulting, he didn''t. It was getting so boring after thousands of years of simr life.


    He expected this time to be different. This could be called the biggest challenge demons have ever faced before¡ªfighting against Primordial Gods, whose strength could be called equal to Demon Kings. However, now he was getting beaten down by a mere human.


    It was exciting!


    ''''Very good, humans!'''' Satan grinned viciously and backflipped back to his feet. Again a sh of green light appeared before him, then the bullet appeared and was about to hit his head.


    However, Satan didn''t care as he shockingly headbutted the bullet!


    Crack... the mask cracked before finally breaking apart.


    A shocking face appeared. His skin was pale, immensely so. It was like his skin was made of snow. His eyes were shockingly red, like they were covered in blood. He truly looked like a satanic being from mythological stories.


    As Satan covered one of his fingers in hellfire, his snow-white skin turned redder. It was like he was suddenly being burned inside.


    ''''Hellfire, Finger of Hell!'''' Satan pointed his hellfire-covered finger towards the faraway mountain. Then, the hellfire flew out of his finger like a bullet and broke through the mountain. After breaking through the rock wall, the hellfire shed and exploded!


    The entire mountain exploded, and an enormous mushroom-like cloud appeared out of nowhere, made of hellfire!


    The sky was instantly covered in ash, and the mushroom cloud could be seen thousands of kilometers away. It was like someone had fired a nuke!


    Satan lowered his arms, and caught a glimpse of a figure, jumping away from the mushroom cloud. His lips curved into a smile. He expected the person to survive that attack.


    Bang!


    While the figure was flying, he fired a quick bullet, which smashed into Satan''s face. However, it couldn''t prate his durable skull.


    Satan only grinned while grabbing the bullet with his fingers before tossing it away. Then, the hellfire shrouded his legs as Satan slowly crouched before leaping across the air. The hellfire exploded and gave Satan incredible speed, allowing him to close the distance immediately.


    Isaac lowered his weapon while hovering in mid-air. His hoodie and trousers were unscatched. He managed to survive Satan''s immensely strong attack without a scratch.


    Now, he saw Satan rushing towards him like a hungry hound.


    ''Quite hot...'' he thought while sweatdrops trailed down his face. He had to admit that the hellfire was scorching hot, and he could only guess how much it would hurt to get hit. Thus, he only had one choice¡ªdon''t get hit.


    ''Let''s test the limit of my abilities and maybe get an idea whether I should create three new skills orbine them into one.'' Isaac activated the green light, engulfing his legs with the gentle light, and he flew straight towards the flying Satan.


    ''''Hellfire!'''' Satan shouted and covered half of his body with hellfire. Then, he flicked his wrist and swung his arm in front of him. A wall of hellfire appeared before him, which acted like a massive shield.


    ''''Icy Shot!'''' Isaac strapped the sniper rifle on his back and covered his entire body in ice. He then used the green light, propelled himself over the wall of hellfire, and whipped his leg downward at Satan.


    Satan put his arms above him and blocked the kick, but then the ice exploded and covered his arms in a thickyer of ice. The atmosphere turned freezing cold and the sky turned ice-blue, with the ground freezing over.


    ''''Hellfire!'''' Satan quickly countered the ice, but shockingly, the ice managed to fight back!


    The Hellfire and ice fought back and forth while the nearby environment was getting both scorched and frozen.

 Chapter 668 The Earthshaking Battle!

    668 The Earthshaking Battle!


    ''''Any news about Satan?'''' Lucifer appeared on themanding deck of thergest spaceship of the demon army. He went there to expect a message from Satan and oversee the different fights happening via glowing monitors.


    Satan didn''t have the ability tomunicate with his mind, but he had hismunication device.


    ''''No, Lord Lucifer!'''' The demons shouted. They were acting very humble and respectful while in presence of great Demon King.


    Lucifer frowned because he was expecting Satan to report back already. However, he still didn''t panic and decided to wait for a little longer.


    ...


    Boom!


    The ground exploded with destruction wreaking havoc across the destend.


    ''''Hellfire!''''


    ''''Icy Shot!''''


    Satan and Isaac traded punches--one fist covered in hellfire and another in ice.


    Once the two forces shed, the earth cracked and was blown apart.


    The hellfire started melting away the ice, but the ice managed to reduce the temperature of the scorching hot mes.


    Isaac appeared beside Satan, jabbed his waist in four spots, and again retreated.


    ''''Argh.'''' Satan gritted his teeth and looked at his waist. The ice started spreading across his waist, even attacking his bones. Then, the hellfire shrouded the ice, melted it away, and healed the injuries.


    Isaac pulled out his sniper rifle, pulled the trigger before again strapping it on his back.


    The bullets smashed against Satan''s torso, sending him flying.


    ''''Damn it!'''' Satan spun around in the air rapidly, doing dozens of backflips within an instant. He thennded on the ground, kicked the ground, andunched forward with immense speed.


    His body was shrouded in hellfire as he reeled in his fist and punched forward. The air exploded while the hellfire flew out of his fist, making a fist-shaped me while flying towards Isaac.


    ''''Hellfire Fist!''''


    ''''Wraith''s Spell, Icefire Fist!'''' Isaac grinned, coated his right arm with mes, which were freezing cold. Then, he punched forward and the strange icefire flew out of his fist while taking a fist shape while airborne.


    The hellfire fist and icefire fist shed.


    Boom!


    Satan wed on the ground while the shockwave was pushing him backward with immense momentum. However, his w-like fingers managed to grab the ground to stop him from going any further.


    Isaac was shoved backward with great strength. He rolled on the ground and bounced like a bouncy castle. His figure then skidded through the burnt and icy ground beforeing to a stop.


    ''''Oww...'''' he rubbed his head and looked at his ragged hoodie. It was ruined.


    ''''My favorite hoodie, I am pissed.'''' Isaac flipped back to his feet and used ''''Explorer of Life''''.


    Satan only saw a sh of green light before a kicknded on his face.


    A spurt of blood flew out of his suddenly-broken nose. Satan''s eyes rolled around as he was trying to find out where he was hit from. Then, he saw a flying kicking from side and he quickly covered his body in hellfire.


    As soon as the hellfire appeared, Isaac covered his leg in ice and struck the scorching hot fire. However, almost instantly he started feeling pain as his skin started slowly burning.


    Isaac retreated and looked at his burnt leg with a frown.


    ''''Getting impatient?'''' Satan''s voice came from the hellfire and then he appeared above Isaac and hammered his fists down.


    Isaac dodged the fists and whipped his leg across Satan''s face.


    Satan crashed to the ground, with a crater appearing around him. Then, the crater was frozen all over as Isaac used ''''Icy Shot''''.


    Satan was entirely covered in an ice cocoon, but then a me appeared in the depths of the ice and hellfire broke through the ice!


    ''Tricky bastard.'' He thought after escaping the ice. He knew Isaac was baiting him, acting like he was getting impatient, but that was just his trap and he fell right into it!


    He got tricked by a human!


    ''''Advocate of Life.'''' Isaac pointed his finger at the horned demon, and then a strange scene happened. A red light left the demon''s body and entered the white-haired man''s. The burnt leg mysteriously healed.


    [Advocate of Life: The yer can suck the life energy of nearby enemies and heal all his injuries]


    ''''Ugh.'''' Satan grimaced with slight pain. ''''What the hell did you do?''''


    ''''I wonder~'''' Isaac grinned and tried to smash his fist through Satan''s face. However, the demon ducked under the fist and threw his fist towards the white-haired man''s body.


    Isaac blocked the fist with his knee and hacked his palm downward across Satan''s shoulder. The shoulder cracked and a trail of blood gushed out!


    Satan grimaced and swept Isaac''s legs from underneath him and punched him with hellfire.


    Isaac couldn''t dodge it and was hit in the cheek with the scorching hot fist. But, he quickly covered his face with ice and kicked from an awkward angle and managed to push Satan away.


    Satan was shoved away by the kick, but he quickly covered his body in hellfire and lunged forwards to catch the fallen Isaac. The white-haired man quickly jumped to his feet and evaded Satan''s punch while backhanding him across his face.


    Satan''s face twisted to the side ufortably and his face showed clear pain for a second. He quickly still managed to shrug off the pain and activated the hellfire while shrouding the entirend with the enormous mes.


    Isaac was immediately drenched in sweat and he quickly used Icy Shot to try to reduce the temperature. But, the hellfire was now hotter than ever before and was melting the ice away immediately!


    ''This is not good...'' Isaac''s eyes shed with crimson. ''Life Decimator!''


    The crimson beam tore through the air and smashed into Satan''s torso. The beam sent him flying through the air and ontond. The fiery crimson beam was burning through his body and was giving him grave injuries!


    ''''Hellfire!'''' Satan screamed and exploded with hellfire. The hellfire destroyed the crimson beam instantly and suddenly the entire sky was in red color as the entire hellfire nketed across the sky!


    The scene could be seen even in White Paradise!


    ''''W-What the hell is this?'''' the yers thought aloud in shock while pointing towards the sky. The scene was strange since the sky was blue above them, but then in the faraway distance it was pure red!


    Even the primordial gods were utterly shocked. They could feel that an earth-shattering battle was ongoing!


    It was definitely a battle between the Demon King and the Primordial God.


    But who was the primordial god since everyone was gathered in White Paradise?


    ''''Is it Chaos?''''


    ''''No, she is already here, but staying in her quarters!''''


    ''''Erebus, Tartarus?''''


    ''''No, I could tell that they aren''t in Four Seasons. It''s someone else. Besides, they already betrayed us and I don''t think demons would belittle their strength and abandon them like that!''''


    ''''Then, who in the earth could it be and who is that person fighting against?!''''

 Chapter ?669 Last Skill.

    ?669 Last Skill.


    The destend, previously filled with beautiful snow valleys, forests, and mountain peaks, was now leveled to the ground with one half bathed in mes and another frozen in ice.


    "Hellfire!"


    "Wraith''s Spell, Icefire!"


    The demon and human attacked with their own spells. As the mes and fire made of ice collided, the atmosphere started changing rapidly.


    The usual Wintend climate was snow, cold, and ice. The battle had changed the climate so rapidly that the snow was melting, with rainclouds nketing the sky.


    Then, the opposite thing was seen in Summend. Isaac''s ice attacks influenced arger area. While the temperature increased rapidly in Wintend, making the weather quite hot, Summend waspletely the opposite.


    Snowkes started dropping down from the sky, coloring the ground in white. The citizens were dressed in very light clothing with skin exposed, so the sudden change in weather took everyone off-guard.


    There were still cities bathed in mes after the sudden demon attack, but the demons had disappeared and everyone was still mending their wounds while hiding in their homes.


    The military took control of the situation and started helping everyone they could. Once the snow started falling, they had to order winter clothes from Wintend in a hurry. Summend had never had winter or cold, so there wasn''t even any winter clothing there!


    The strange scene also attracted the Primordial Gods'' attention, and they were even more curious about who the person was. They knew one wielded fire attacks and the other ice. However, there weren''t any fire or ice users among them.


    Lucifer and the rest of the Demon Kings had seen the strange phenomenon, and they knew Satan was fighting someone strong. They never expected there to be someone that strong, hiding among humans.


    Lucifer''s frown grew as he realized that this was why he felt a sinking feeling in the bottom of his stomach. The danger was far more severe than they anticipated, at first.


    He checked themunication device and tried to contact Satan. He wanted him to return as soon as possible since it was still unknown how strong that person was. Lucifer didn''t want to gamble on Satan''s victory.


    However, themunication device never reached Satan, it was as if his device was broken.


    Lucifer gritted his teeth and pondered whether he should send someone else to fetch Satan. However, he quickly shot down that idea. Only Demon Kings could go there and be of any assistance, but Primordial Gods must be aware of Demon Kings'' presence already and have increased their alertness.


    Not even he could reach Satan before getting spotted by Primordial Gods. It was still too early to fight them.


    ...


    Crack...


    Isaac held Satan by the head while smashing it against the frozen ground. Each m cracked the ice and earth, making it sound like the demonic head was shattering.


    "Ugh!" Satan swung his arms around and shoved Isaac away. He then leaped off the ground and whipped his leg across Isaac''s face. Afternding on the ground, he backhanded him and punched him with a hellfire-coated fist.


    Isaac flew across the air, but beforending on the ground, he backflipped andnded on the ground with both feet. He thenunched himself forward and punched repeatedly with the intention of hurting Satan as much as possible.


    But, Satan effortlessly evaded the punches and managed tond one of his fists on Isaac''s cheek.


    Crack... the ground cracked and air exploded following the punch.


    ''This is not good.'' Isaac thought while staggering backward with a swollen cheek. He realized Satan was adapting to his fighting style and was surpassing him with blinding speed. It was obvious that Satancked experience in fighting strong opponents but had immense fighting talent.


    ''I have been only using ice type attacks to determine his strength, and it seems that even as max level, I can''t beat someone of his caliber. However, that is only if I use ice attacks.''


    Isaac quickly retreated further away from Satan after he unleashed another hellfire attack, which destroyed the frozen ground.


    ''Its time to make my new skill. The message said that I could choose my three new skills orbine them into one. I don''t even know what those three skills are or the options since they were never shown. So it''s chosen blindly I guess.


    ''I need a powerful skill that can defeat everyone I fight against. Level 1000 skill must be incredibly powerful, for sure, but is that enough? I don''t want to waste this chance. I already have Wraith''s Spell, which allows me to create any spell with just my imagination holding me back.


    ''Thus, Wraith''s Spell allows me to be as strong as I want to be. But, it also has its limits, and my human imagination can''t surpass the gods. So, I still need something special, a powerful skill that can defeat everyone!''


    Isaac rolled up his messages and nced at the three skills orbine them into one skill choice. He didn''t have to wait even for a moment since he had already decided which he would choose. He chose thebination.


    After pressing the second choice, the interface beeped before thousands of skills appeared before his eyes. They were all choices that he could have made during his journey to level 1000.


    Instantly, after the 10th level and the first skill, the choice decided his rest of his life. Since he never chose his first skill initially, and waited till meeting with Hecate, his life had already entered strange path which couldn''t be predicted.


    His first skill, Illusionary Shot, was the start of his strange, unpredictable life.


    It didn''t matter that his legacy and ss changed. His life had always been part of the Marksman ss, and it was tied to his soul.


    The interface showed his strange path. There were thousands of skills, each linked with different string. However, Isaac''s path steered away from the initial path and wandered into distance with hidden future.


    The path led all the way to this moment.


    Beep! Beep!


    [You Have Earned Your Last Skill!]

 Chapter 670 Eternal Death.

    670 Eternal Death.


    [Three Skills Combined Into One!]


    [White Death - White Storm - White World]


    They were all previous legacy skills of Simo''s legacy. Isaac never achieved White World since it was at level 750. For his current legacy, there didn''t seem to be a third legacy skill, but for Mythical, there was, maybe to bnce the legacies slightly, or there simply wasn''t a third legacy skill for a powerful legacy such as this.


    Now, all his previous three legacy skillsbined into one skill, which became the third secret legacy skill for Gaia''s legacy.


    [New Skill Achieved -> Eternal Death]


    [Eternal Death: As the embodiment of life and death, yer Wraith has nigh infinite knowledge and power, havingplete control over death and life, therefore can kill or resurrect whoever he wants to--It''s a passive ability and cannot be deactivated]


    ''Eternal Death...'' Isaac formed a fist and felt like he held everyone''s lives in the palm of his hand. It was a feeling that could make anyone drunk or scared. The knowledge that he could kill anyone he wanted with a simple wave of his hand was both euphoric and scary.


    ''He feels different.'' Satan thought while running across the ice-coveredndscape. However, he didn''t think too much into it and coated his figure in the hellfire.


    As he ran towards Isaac, a sea of mes appeared behind him, melting the ice and burning the ground.


    "Hellfire''s Revenge!" Satan leaped off the ground, creating different kinds of symbols with his fingers before releasing his attack. The hellfire took the form of thousands of burning chains, and they all whipped towards Isaac, like dangerous slithering burning snakes.


    Isaac looked away from his hand and looked at the iing chains. Then, he felt strange connection with the chains. They were, in some sense, also a living beings because they are connected with Satan''s hellfire.


    Thus, Isaac could kill them if he wanted to.


    "Die."


    The chains froze in midair and the scorching hot mes vanished, with the rest of the chains disappearing into ashes.


    "What?" Satan eximed. His body suddenly went cold, like he had been thrown into a freezingke without any clothes on. It was as if he felt what death felt like...


    "..." Isaac looked at Satan and pondered whether he could also kill him with just amand. "Die."


    "Ptui!" Satan suddenly coughed crimson blood and fell on his knees. The blood flowed out of his mouth like a waterfall and his body was turning incredibly skinny. It was almost as if he was made of bones!


    Then, before dying because of blood loss, Satan covered his body in hellfire and quickly started healing all his injuries. While healing, he was absolutely frightened by the ability.


    ''What did he do?!'' he looked at Isaac with new, frightened expression. He had never met someone like this before. Even the Demon King of the First Heaven, Lucifer, who could make things and people vanish with just a word, wasn''t as scary as he!


    He truly felt like he was dying, but luckily had his hellfire, which allowed him to heal fairly quickly.


    ''I see, I could have killed him if he didn''t have his hellfire and regenerative abilities.'' Isaac nodded thoughtfully and learned more about his abilities every second. His nigh infinite knowledge didn''t make him instantly realize what he could and could not do with his abilities.


    However, he learned far more than he anticipated with just a few seconds of fighting against Satan.


    ''After fighting for several hours, he is getting slightly hungry. It seems that even demons are not that different from humans. Even if some of them are way stronger than humans, they still feel hunger, unlike proper gods. Now, the hungrier he bes, the less effective his regenerative powers are...


    ''Also, his hellfire loses a lot of firepower the hungrier he bes. Their strength and regenerative powers are all the result of their demonic physique and their innate ability to "devour".


    ''If they were starving, I am sure they would be as weak as ordinary humans.''


    Satan, without realizing that the most treasured secret of the demon race was found out by Isaac, rose to his feet with the intention of fighting till only one of them breathed. Even though the previous attack shocked him greatly, he still couldn''t believe that the white-haired man was omnipotent!


    Isaac saw Satan''s fighting intent, but he still had something he needed to know. With a side nce, he activated his ''''God Eyes'''' and saw all the demons lurking outside the.


    He saw Lucifer and the rest of the Demon Kings and Demon Lords. Then, he saw two traitors, Erebus and Tartarus, standing behind everyone, even Demon Lords, even though their rank was supposed to be higher.


    ''They have quite strong fighters still left.'' Isaac concluded and turned back to Satan. He knew that even reducing one Demon King was a great achievement and could increase the chance of their victory by several notches.


    In particr, killing the second strongest demon would increase their chances far more than just several notches.


    "Die!" Isaac spoke out of nowhere.


    "Ugh!" Satan gritted his teeth in agony.


    "Die!" Isaac stepped closer to Satan. "Die!"


    Satan''s knees buckled and he fell head-first on the ground.


    "Die!" Isaac stopped before him and shouted, "DEATH!"


    "N-No!" Satan screamed and covered his entire body with hellfire. A pir of fire rose from his body and pierced the sky. The pir of hellfire even reached outer space, being noticed by demons!


    The demons were shocked, the Demon Kings were serious, and the Demon Lords were frightened at the show of power.


    The Primordial Gods looked serious as they tried to find out who was winning. The rest of the Gods, gathered in the Legacy Company''s front lounge, stood beside the windows with solemn expressions while the pir of fire painted the scenery in red.


    All the yers, Inhumans and New-Gen Humans, were helplessly looking at the scene. They knew that none of them could survive that fire pir if they were close. They didn''t know who caused the fire pir or why, but it was clear that he wasn''t on their side!


    Isaac walked towards the fire pir without fear in his face. As his body started heating up because of the mes, he suddenly punched the pir, grabbed Satan by the horns and dragged him out of the hellfire pir.


    The hellfire pir still burned strong behind them while Isaac punched Satan in the face, breaking both of his horns in the process.


    "Eternal Death!" Isaac red Satan straight in the eye, and suddenly, a beam of ck left his eyes and infiltrated Satan''s skull. The demonic creature, Satan, saw all the horrors of the universe and cried out in terror.


    He thought that demons were the apex predators, the most dangerous creatures in the world, but after seeing these things, he was so wrong!


    "Aaaaaaaaaaah!" Satan cried out loud while his eyes turned ck. After his pale skin turned pitch ck and his face unrecognizable, he stopped shouting and copsed on the ground lifelessly.


    Isaac stood silently. He also saw the horrors of the universe, but unlike Satan, he didn''t react as strongly since he knew he could kill each and every single one of those creatures if he wanted to.


    The battle between Isaac and Satan, had ended.


    The Demon King of the Second Heaven, Satan, has died!

 Chapter ?671 Underlord.

    671 Underlord.


    "One of them died!" Gaia reacted strongly. Her heart was beating strongly against her chest because she felt a strong connection with one of the fighters. She was the mother of all life and could feel that one of them died.


    But, the feeling she received from one of the fighters was strange because she felt like she was connected with that person on a spiritual level.


    She couldn''t tell who died because both of the fighters were at a power level equal to hers or maybe even above.


    The Primordial Gods were gathered around her with solemn expressions. The fight between those two could have destroyed the entire world, but luckily, it seemed they understood their powers and managed to control enough to limit the damage.


    However, the fire pir obviously showed one of them lost that control and was seconds away from destroying the world''s atmosphere.


    The ice age wasn''t far away from happening.


    ...


    "Has Satan contacted yet?" Lucifer asked with a cold expression from his subordinates. They replied with "no" and didn''t dare look at the angry Demon King any longer.


    "E-Excuse me, Demon King Lucifer."


    "Hmm?" Lucifer turned to the back of themanding deck and saw Erebus, the former Primordial God, rubbing his hands while hanging his head low.


    "What?"


    "The Primordial Gods must be aware of what has happened to Satan. So, I suggest sending one man as a spy there to find out." Erebus spoke respectfully.


    "They will realize immediately if demon had entered the city." Lucifer said coldly and turned back to the monitors.


    "What if we... send a human?" Erebus said and saw Lucifer turning to look at him with raised eyebrow. "We can send my sessor there to fish all the information we need."


    "Your sessor... is he trustworthy?"


    "Hehe, yes because I am in control of him." Erebus pointed at his head and smirked. "He doesn''t know yet, but he cannot do anything I don''t want him to do."


    Lucifer pondered for moment before nodding. "Send him a message, he still has to enter the city unnoticed."


    "That won''t be a problem." Erebus chuckled. "He is already in White Paradise."


    "Oh?" Lucifer snorted inside his mind. He knew what Erebus was trying to do. He was trying to slither his way to his favor and increase his following that way.


    ''Well, it doesn''t matter as long as he is useful.''


    Erebus bowed and left through sliding doors with a smirk. ''That fool Arthur. He will regret inviting Underlord there. Did he really think he was on their side? How amusing.''


    ...


    ''Did you catch that?''


    "Yes, now get out of my mind." Underlord smacked his head to get the voice out of his mind. The voice disappeared, leaving him alone in the dimly lit living room of his building. He was staying in a building that was only a hundred meters away from Legacy Company''s Headquarters.


    It was surrounded by streets, restaurants, bars, and buildings with other humans living inside.


    Underlord closed the TV and moved over to the curtained window. He drew the curtains and looked towards the faraway headquarters. It was nearly impossible to stay unnoticed when he entered the building because there were already gods on the bottom floor.


    However, after breaking his chains, his mastery of reality warping increased drastically. He could now even hide in the crack of reality, where he could hide from anyone.


    He closed the curtains, snatched his jacket from the bed, and left the building.


    The streemps lit up the streets in a warm color, while all the surrounding alleyways were creepily dark.


    Underlord tugged his hands into the pockets of his jacket and started trekking towards the faraway headquarters. He was keeping a low profile and stayed unnoticed by the surrounding guards, who marched across the streets to keep an eye on those dark alleyways.


    After evading all the guards, he was about to step past a building when suddenly a door opened, revealing a beautiful young woman holding her stomach. She held a garbage bag in her other hand and was looking directly at the garbage bin, located only five meters from the front door.


    Luna happened to nce sideways, and her heart almost popped out of her chest. Underlord looked at her silently with a cold expression.


    ''She saw me. I don''t think anyone will notice if she disappears for now, but just to be sure, I have to escape this ce after finding out all the things I needed.''


    Luna saw the change in his expression and immediately summoned a wand. "Alice!"


    "?!" Underlord nced through the window and saw another woman running towards the front door. ''Another one? I can''t do this silently, but maybe I can if I cover this building with "Reality Crack", but that would be soon noticed by others, so I have to finish this quickly!"


    "Reality Crack!" Underlord tapped the empty air in front of him, and suddenly the air cracked and surrounded the entire building with all three of them inside.


    "Luna''s Magic, Eight Circr, Break Earth!" Luna waved her wand and attacked Underlord with earth-based spell. The ground cracked around him and sent him flying. However, he soon came to a stop after colliding with the cracks. The cracks were almost like unbreakable wall.


    Alice popped out of the building and saw what was happening. Her face grew ice-cold. "Underlord, what the hell are you doing?"


    "Killing you two, isn''t that obvious, fool!" Underlordnded back on his feet and rushed over to the two beautiful women. Luna''s spells shed across the air and smashed into Underlord, but the spells all magically disappeared.


    "Reality Warper!" Underlord held his hand high while making all the spells disappear. He then appeared before Luna and snapped his fingers. "Reality Kill!"


    "?!" Luna saw the reality around her break. It was as if the entire reality was copsing on her!


    "Luna!" Alice screamed and ran towards Underlord. Her heart raced quickly, and it was almost as if it had a racing engine. As she ran, she suddenly saw time flowing slower and slower until everything had slowed down!


    She saw the different shapes of reality falling down on Luna. She could see that the beautiful ck-haired woman wouldn''t survive that. The reality wouldpletely fall apart around her in one second of time and then no one would be able to save her.


    However, Alice saw everything so clearly and dragged Luna away from Underlord. She buried Luna in her hug and moved back to the building.


    After the door closed behind them, time again moved, and reality broke apart in front of Underlord. A nk void of space appeared before him before it was quickly restored.


    "Hmph, they both died?" Underlord thought aloud after seeing both women suddenly disappearing. He thought that the reality falling caused both of them to be dissolved into atoms.

 Chapter 672 God of Death and Life.

    672 God of Death and Life.


    "Reality Crack Disappear!" Underlord snapped his fingers and caused the strange cracks to disappear. The streets returned to normal and the buildings didn''t look any different.


    He fixed his sleeves and walked away from the building to continue his walk to the headquarters.


    Inside the building, Alice was hiding underneath the window while holding Luna''s mouth. After the footsteps disappeared, she removed the hand and drew a cold breath.


    "What happened?" Luna looked at her with her cute face, looking surprised.


    "I am... not sure." Alice looked at herself from the window''s reflection and wondered what just happened. She remembered clearly that time had stopped and that she had saved Luna from certain death.


    She remembered her heart pounding with such force that she thought her chest would explode.


    Luna peered through the window and didn''t see that person anywhere. "He is gone... Why do you think he attacked us?"


    "He is doing something shady, I am sure of it!" Alice felt that Underlord''s way of acting wasn''t natural. He wouldn''t just attack them out of nowhere. But, one thing was sure; he wasn''t on humanity''s side!


    "We can''t let him do whatever he wants!" Luna still remembered the beating she received from him. "In any case, we need to inform the gods!"


    "Underlord left us because he thought we died. What if he sees us in the streets? We can''t win against him!" Alice was the voice of reason. But, even she knew that they might have to take risks and expose Underlord.


    "You are Priestess. Can''t youmunicate with the gods?" Luna then asked.


    "Oh!" Alice eximed. Shepletely forgot about her identity as a priestess. "Alright, I need few things to do the ceremony."


    "I will get them." Luna stood to her feet. "What do you need?"


    "Candle, matchsticks, powder of any kind, and a cross."


    Luna nodded and ran to their bedroom.


    ''I have all the things I need in my interface, but unfortunately I am not a Chain Breaker.'' Alice thought, with slight frustration. As she stood up to her feet, she thought. ''It would be so useful to just say "interface", pick up the things you need, and use them. But, s...''


    However, as soon as she thougth that, a holographic screen appeared before her, glowing with brilliant hue!


    "Ah!" Alice staggered backward and fell on the couch. She rubbed her eyes and thought she was hallucinating. However, after opening her eyes, the interface was still hovering right in front of her!


    "Alice, are you alright?" Luna hurried out of the bedroom with a wand in hand. She thought that something had happened or, worse, that Underlord hade back. But she then saw Alice staring nkly into the empty air. "Ali..ce?


    "I-I am Chain Breaker..." Alice said with a dumbfounded expression.


    "W-What?!" Luna''s jaw dropped. "Since when?"


    "Since now..." Alice tried to open the inventory, and it worked. She took all the things needed for the ceremony and ced them on the knee-length table.


    "How is this possible?" Luna asked because she knew how crazy this sounded. Alice didn''t have the ingredients for Dream Potion and didn''t have any way to enter White Online from here. It was as if her chains broke out of nowhere. She didn''t even have a legacy!


    After closing the inventory, Alice checked her stats nonchntly before freezing.


    [Legacy: Primordial God of Time]


    [Legacy Rank: Divine]


    "I-I have a legacy..." Alice covered her mouth in surprise and now understood what the strange time stopping phenomenon was. It was all her doing. She turned to Luna with a massive smile. "I have the legacy of the Primordial God of Time!"


    Luna sat next to her and rubbed her shoulder gently. "If I recall correctly, that''s legacy of Chronos. When did he give that legacy to you? Do you remember meeting him?"


    "N-No..." Alice shook her head. "B-But, I might have talked to him."


    "Hmm?"


    "I once did the ceremony out of curiosity and happened to contact someone. I thought it was God, but some lesser god, because the way he acted was quite... crazy, haha. I didn''t know whether he was happy to talk to someone finally or excited to see me. It was a strange experience."


    "It must have been Chronos." Luna nodded. "Some gods don''t give their legacies immediately and look at whether that person was worthy. I guess you passed the test and, because of the war, he decided to give you the legacy, and for some reason, your chains also broke."


    Alice nodded with slight excitement and then turned to the items. "A-Anyway, let''s do the ceremony. I won''t let Underlord do harm to anyone else!"


    Luna nodded with a soft smile and used the matchsticks to light up the candle while Alice used the powder to draw a pentagram around the candle. She then took hold of the cross and held it close to her heart.


    "Oh God, answer my calling. I have dire news. Underlord is not on our side. I repeat, he is not on our side. He tried to kill me and Luna, the legacy carrier of Hecate, and I wish you to spread the message to the Primordial God Chronos. Say it is from his sessor, please."


    She then opened her eyes and said, "No one answered, but my message hopefully is heard by someone."


    Luna softly nodded and hugged her legs.


    ...


    ''Oh God, answer my calling. I have dire news. Underlord is not on our side. I repeat, he is not on our side. He tried to kill me and Luna, the legacy carrier of Hecate, and I wish you to spread the message to the Primordial God Chronos. Say it is from his sessor, please.''


    An ethereal-sounding voice echoed across a certain man''s mind, and it sounded very familiar.


    "Alice?" Isaac looked around in the charredndscape, and that certain voice, belonging to his little sister, slowly faded away. He then remembered the "message" and his face grew cold.


    The God who heard the message was the newly crowned God of Death and Life, Isaac Whitelock.

 Chapter ?673 Border of Reality.

    ?673 Border of Reality.


    "The demons have been awfully quiettely." The gods were talking in the Legacy Company''s front lounge. They were ready to defend the city at a moment''s notice, so none of them lost their concentration, even for a moment.


    God Zeus and God Odin were seated around a round table along with other major gods, such as Ares, Apollo, Poseidon, etc.


    However, even though they were all concentrated, they didn''t notice a person walking right past them. The person looked transparent, as if he was donning an invisible cloak. No one realized anything, like he wasn''t existing.


    He was Underlord, who was walking inside the borders of reality. It made him impossible because he wasn''t inside the known reality, so it was no different from not existing.


    He took the stairs since he couldn''t interact with any objects, otherwise he would be caught quickly. Thus, he ran up the staircase and, after ten minutes, arrived at the top floor.


    It was almost like running a marathon, but he didn''t look exhausted even slightly. He left the staircase, entered the empty hallways, and walked over to thest door at the end of the hallway. He could feel fluctuations in the air.


    The fluctuations were like bubbles, and Underlord did everything to dodge them. If he touched even one bubble, the Primordial Gods would find him because those bubbles were physical manifestations of their aura.


    No one else was able to see them, not even the Primordial Gods. It was only essible by Underlord and Erebus.


    Underlord carefully put his hand on the door handle, opened a gap and sneaked inside the room. He then slowly closed the door and tried to not make any sound.


    The door slowly closed with a soft click, and only Arthur heard the sound, as everyone else was upied by the monitors. He turned to look at the door with a frown but quickly turned back to the monitors after not seeing anything.


    Underlord went to the farthest corner of the room and quietly listened to their discussion.


    "There." Aether pointed at one of the monitors. It showed a video feed of a drone, which was hovering right above a destend with burnt and frozen ground. The mountains were leveled to the ground, and the environment was entirely destroyed.


    It was like a battle between two titans happened there.


    "What in the world happened there?" Arthur stood to his feet and looked with fascination.


    "..." Gaia frowned and tapped gently on Aether''s shoulder. "I saw something in the direction of the west. Move the drone over there."


    Aether nodded as he held the controller of the drone. He carefully flew over to the west while the monitor showed more of the destruction. There didn''t seem to be anything special. However, then they all saw a person, who looked like a person, lying on the ground with burnt skin.


    The drone flew closer until it was only two meters above the person.


    Satan''s corpse appeared in a view.


    "T-That''s Satan!" Shiva jumped to his feet in disbelief. His third eye opened and added immense pressure to the room. At times, when he lost control, he would also lose control of his third eye. At worst times, his loss of control could lead to the destruction of reality.


    But he had learned to control his emotions well enough to quickly calm himself down. The third eye soon closed.


    "How is this possible?" Uranus asked with a frown. "Who killed him? Ceto or Chaos?"


    "Not me." A door suddenly opened and Chaos stepped right into the room. "I have also been here in my quarters."


    "Ceto then?"


    "She is fighting against Leviathan as far as I know." Aether rubbed his chin with a frown. "Also, I don''t think Ceto can defeat Satan on drynd."


    "Satan has an absolute advantage on drynd, and I don''t think any of us can defeat him in terms of pure firepower." Gaia''s beautiful face showed a mystifying expression. She was honestly amazed and curious.


    As the rest of the primordial gods frowned and gave their ideas, Underlord was solemnly looking at the monitor. ''He is dead? Wasn''t he the second strongest demon on paper? I thought the demons would destroy the gods effortlessly, but why does it look like they are losing?


    ''Did Erebus make a mistake by choosing their side? Should I escape while I still can?''


    "Well, one thing is for sure." Aether sighed and looked over to the rest. "Satan''s death is the biggest turning point in this war. The demons might not be aware of his death yet, so this might be a good time tounch a counter-attack."


    "What is on your mind?" Chronos asked.


    Aether looked back at the screens and smiled. "S... Arthur, bring all the Mythical VR Helmets you have in store. We are going back to White Online to make it ours again!"


    Arthur''s face beamed, and he immediately nodded. He contacted with a phone call his secretary, Emilia, and the rest of the employees to bring all the Mythical VR Helmets.


    "Tell the yers that we need their help." Aether crossed his arms. "We might not be able to enter the game, but yers can and we have to leave to them to conquer the for us."


    "Alright."


    Underlord listened to everything with a dark expression. ''You think I would allow you to do that? Hmph, it''s time for me to return and tell them what I found out. They will have enough time to think of a trap and use Erebus'' reality warping powers to kill them inside the game.''


    He left the room once the employees came with boxes of VR Helmets, descended down the stairs, and soon left the building. There was a spaceship waiting for him in the forest, and it was auto-piloted to take him right to Lucifer''s ship.


    He soon left White Paradise, entered the forest, and found the spaceship, which had enough space for three.


    After turning the spaceship on, the auto-pilot started working, and the ship slowly started to ascend towards the sky.


    However, then a voice came from behind him.


    "Found you..."


    Undelord whipped his head around and saw a familiar white-haired man stepping through a crack of reality!


    ''How the hell he found me?! I am still hiding at the border of reality!''

 Chapter 674 Underlords Evil Soul.

    674 Underlord''s Evil Soul.


    Isaac stepped out of the crack and hurled forward as he tried to grab Underlord by his cor. But Underlord quickly ced walls of reality to protect him and thought they were enough to stop the white-haired man because they were nigh-indestructible.


    "You fool, you are not a match for me!" Underlord roared intoughter. "I already broke my chains, and with the help of Erebus, I am already above level 800! You are nothingpared to me, and you came all the way here to just die!"


    "Shut up, mortal." Isaac formed a fist and punched through reality. The walls broke like thin ss.


    "Impossible!" Underlord cried out and was grabbed by his cor by a sturdy-looking hand. His mind screamed to escape because if he didn''t escape right now, he would die!


    "Escape!" Underlord shouted, and Isaac''s hand strangely slipped off, as if it was coated with soap.


    Underlord quickly jumped through the spaceship''s window and abandoned his escape vehicle, though it was his only way to reach the demons. But, it wasn''t the only way tomunicate with him.


    He immediately realized that Isaac was also stronger than ever before. He wasn''t a fool. Everyone who could break the reality with a single punch wasn''t normal. Therefore, he decided to escape as quickly as he could.


    Afternding on the ground, he hurled himself forward towards the nearby forest. However, then shes of green light appeared before him, and Isaac appeared out of nowhere. His fist was already formed and was flying straight towards Underlord.


    "Weak!" Underlord snapped his fingers, and Isaac''s punch was suddenly a hundred times weaker. However, he still finished his punch andnded it right on Underlord''s cheek.


    SMACK!


    The single punch hurled Underlord backward with immense power, almost as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer!


    "Ptui!" Teeth flew out of Underlord''s mouth as he was still wondering what just happened. He made the punch weaker, but still it was almost strong enough to knock him out. ''What is with his crazy strength?!''


    Isaac moved over to him and whipped his leg down at Underlord''s thigh.


    Crack... a soft crack resounded from Underlord''s thigh as one of the bones broke.


    "Ah!" Underlord cried out in immense pain. "Heal!"


    The broken bones quickly healed, but Isaac then grabbed his arm, twisted it around, and ripped it off his body!


    A fountain of blood gushed out of Underlord''s arm stumb. The pain was unbearable and he almost passed out. This was the difference between fighting in White Online and in real-life with his ability.


    In White Online, he could inflict pain on others, but he wouldn''t feel anything. But, in real life, he could feel pain, and his reality warping powers wouldn''t change that.


    "Hea..." Before managing to utter another word, Isaac covered his mouth and broke his jaw with one strong squeeze!


    His blood flowed down his mouth like a crimson waterfall. His jaw dangled under his mouth in an extremely creepy manner, and everyone could see the broken teeth, long tongue, and depths of his tongue.


    Underlord let out undescribable words as he was screaming and crying at the same time. No one could understand what he was saying. He could use his reality warping powers to heal his injuries without speaking them aloud, but he was in too much pain to think straight.


    Isaac then smashed his foot on Underlord''s left leg and cracked it in half. The thigh pointed backward while from knee till feet was pointing forward.


    The pain was increasing to inhumane levels.


    "You don''t like pain, but you like to inflict pain on others?" Isaac grabbed Underlord by the hair and said coldly, "Pathetic. If you are ready to inflict pain on others, be prepared to feel the same in the future."


    Underlord begged with his teary eyes.


    "Blink once if you want me to end your pain." Isaac moved Underlord''s head closer to him. At first, Underlord felt hopeful and was about to blink, but then he caught the hidden meaning.


    ''Blink once and I will finish you off.''


    Underlord''s eyes mmed open with distress shing across his face. He still didn''t want to die. There were dreams and desires he still wanted toplete!


    The pain might be unimaginable, but he still hadn''t lost his sense of reason!


    At the same time, his wounds started slowly healing as the panic woke him up.


    However, Isaac then immediately broke his leg again, ripped his new arm off, and broke his jaw. Underlord''s cries reverberated in the empty air.


    "Blink once and I will end your pain." Isaac kept eye contact while looking at the teary, pain-filled eyes.


    Underlord was desperately trying to keep his eyes open, but after a minute, the eyelids were slowly moving down. His eyes were already bright red.


    However, after a second minute, his eyelids finally closed.


    "Very well." Isaac grabbed Underlord by the throat while he was trying to beg with his eyes. However, the newly crowned god didn''t care. Underlord hurt Luna, tried to kill her and his sister, then even tried to betray the entire human race because of his selfish goals.


    Crack... with a single twist, Underlord''s neck broke and it didn''t matter how much he tried to use his reality warping powers, he couldn''t defend against death.


    If it was anybody else, he could have used reality warping powers to heal his body in time and survive longer. However, Isaac was the embodiment of death, so he could kill anybody he wanted to. Even if reality changed, it wouldn''t change that one simple fact.


    Underlord''s lifeless body thudded on the ground, with his crimson blood staining the ground.


    Isaac found a ce to sit down and looked down at the corpse. He could have given him a chance of reincarnation without memories or steered his soul to an afterlife, but he didn''t do either of them. He just let out a breath and made the soul vanish once and for all.


    The soul was pitch ck and not like an ordinary soul, which was white. It was utterly stained by evil energy.


    "Human''s soul cannot be that evil. Erebus must have corrupted him, and if the soul had entered reincarnation, he would most likely have be an extremely evil individual. Underlord lost everything because of his greed for power."

 Chapter ?675 Return to White Online.

    ?675 Return to White Online.


    Knock, knock!


    A resounding knock echoed in the streets. An armored man with a box under his armpit stood before a wooden door.


    Creak... the door was slowly and carefully opened.


    A pair of beautiful women peered from the gap of the door and looked warily at the armored man.


    "Delivery from Gods." The armored man said with his mechanical voice and ced the box on the doorstep. He then turned around and left. The surrounding buildings were also visited by the armored men, delivering the boxes.


    Luna and Alice took the box inside the building and ced it on the dinner table. They cut it open with a knife and saw four Mythical VR Helmets lying on the bottom of the box.


    "VR Helmets?" Luna then saw that there was also a handwritten letter. She opened it and read it aloud so that Alice would hear it.


    "We aremencing a counter-attack. We are leaving it to you, yers, to enter the White Online and exterminate all the demons. We are not going to lie to you all. It can prove to be extremely dangerous, and I will leave it up to you to choose whether you will participate or not."


    Luna lowered the letter and looked at Alice. They didn''t speak a word, grabbed the VR Helmets and went to their bedroom.


    "I hope they learned about Underlord." Luna said while lying down on the bed. She positioned the VR helmet around her head and felt the skinsuit tightly wrap around her petite figure.


    "I am sure they did." Alicey down next to her and put on her VR Helmet. "I felt that someone received the message. If they were hostile, I would have gotten injured, but they weren''t... I am confident."


    Luna softly sighed and nodded. She then pressed a button, logged into her ount, and entered White Online with Alice.


    ...


    "Yaaaaawn!" Asmodeus let out a thundering yawn while trying to wipe away his tiredness. "So boring."


    "Then, do something useful, youzy bastard." Mammon spoke with a deep voice.


    The Demon Lords listened silently while trying to mask their presence so as not to disturb the Kings.


    "I am sleepy." Asmodeus looked at Mammon with a smirk. "I will go to sleep."


    Mammon looked as Asmodeus suddenly started floating away from the Four Seasons. "Where the hell are you going?"


    "I wonder if Zeus'' bed is soft." Asmodeus thought aloud while hovering towards the distant World of White. "Call me when something good is happening!"


    "Tsk." Mammon didn''t like Asmodeus one bit. He waszy, driven by lust and useless in many aspects. However, in a fight, he was one of the greatest allies one could ask for.


    In the main spaceship, Lucifer opened his closed eyes and looked coldly at shivering Erebus. "Have you heard from him?"


    "N-No..." Erebus clenched his fists. ''Underlord, you useless bastard, where are you?!''


    "Contact him, now." Lucifer''s voice was cold enough to freeze hell itself. The demons trembled in their seats.


    Erebus shookily nodded and quickly closed his eyes. He entered his subconsciousness and tried to find the connection with Underlord which was linked with his soul. However, after searching for a minute, he couldn''t find the pitch-ck soul anywhere!


    ''Where is it?!'' Erebus'' expression fell. ''He is... dead? This is impossible. I should still be able to find his soul and bring Underlord back to living. But, why is his soulpletely gone?''


    After opening his eyes, he saw Lucifer''s endlessly cold eyes.


    Erebus''s lips twitched, and he lowered his head so that he wouldn''t see his lying expression. "Underlord said that he is still in the process of finding out what happened to Satan..."


    Lucifer scoffed and turned back to the windows. "Tell him to hurry up."


    "Yes, sir." Erebus bowed and left themanding deck with hurried steps. His smiling figure immediately crumbled to one of panic. ''Underlord, you useless bastard, you have doomed me!''


    ...


    A shadow moved across walls as slow and steady footsteps echoed across the building. The shadows'' hand touched a doorhandle and opened a door to the room where two beautiful womeny next to each other with their shoulders touching and VR Helmets wrapped around their heads.


    The shadow entered the room and stopped at the bedside.


    His face slowly appeared in view as the ceiling light shone upon his handsome face.


    Isaac looked at his girlfriend and little sister silently. He could finally rx after seeing that they were doing alright.


    He softly touched Luna''s cheek and nted a kiss on her lips. Her body slightly twitched, almost as if she had felt the kiss.


    Isaac poked at Alice''s cheek and closed the door behind him as he left the room. He slowly trekked toward the front door until he saw the open box on the dining table.


    He checked inside and saw two VR Helmets.


    Isaac caressed the VR Helmets and saw an open handwritten letter on the table. He curiously checked it out and read it aloud in his mind.


    After he was done reading, he nced at the VR Helmets, took one of them, sat on a reclining chair in the living room, and positioned it around his head.


    The skinsuit wrapped around his body like a warm nket and then he pressed the button.


    Isaac slowly closed his eyes and entered the White Online.


    ...


    "Xerxus, catch him!" Amour shouted while shing through a horde of demons like they were made of Swiss cheese.


    Xerxus'' body bolted forward like lightning and immediately caught one of the escaping demons. His fist shredded through the demonic corpse and left behind a bloody mess.


    There were still arge number of demons left in each realm of White Online. The enormous crack in the sky looked dangerous, especially since it was used by demons. The demons fly up and down through the cracks with each passing minute.


    After the war started in the Four Seasons, the rest of the demons'' army arrived from the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Heavens. There were still many other ces ruled by demons which still didn''t have the name "Heaven" because there was no one strong enough to rule them with a iron fist.


    At least two of them would end up in Erebus'' and Tartarus'' hands.


    There were easily several million demons in the World of White!


    The yers were heavily at a disadvantage.


    Amour, Xerxus, and Noelle were fighting in a Summer Realm, in a ce close to the Forest of Unknown. It was a ce withrge grasnd, which looked like it would reach all the way to the horizon.


    However, currently it was littered with demon corpses.

 Chapter 676 Arise Humanity!

    676 Arise Humanity!


    "Ll~" Asmodeus skipped through the empty hallways of Zeus'' pce. There were bloodstains on the walls and floors, almost as if they were part of the wallpaper.


    "Open sesame!" He kicked open arge pair of doors and entered Zeus'' master bedroom. It was covered with gold-iid walls, ceilings, columns, and chandeliers. It looked fancy, like it was made for an emperor.


    "Phew, they sure have money to waste." Asmodeus whistled and jumped onto therge bed with a gold-colored nket and a soft mattress. His body bounced up and down like he was inside a bouncy castle.


    "A little bit too bouncy for my taste, but it will do." He kicked his shoes off and ced his arms under his head. He looked like he was on vacation.


    "Lord Asmodeus!"


    Asmodeus'' eyes opened with irritation. "WHAT!"


    The door was opened by a pale-faced demon soldier. "U-Umm..."


    "WHAT!" Asmodeus sat down while shouting. His words caused the demon soldier to pass out.


    "WAKE UP!" This time, his shout woke up the demon soldier. "You dare to sleep when you ruined my sleep?"


    ''But you knocked me out!'' The demon soldier cried invisible tears while thinking how unreasonable Asmodeus was.


    "I-I am sorry, Lord Asmodeus, but we have a situation."


    "Then deal with it. Jeez, fucking useless." Asmodeusy back down and tried to close his eyes.


    "B-But, we have received reports of humans appearing in the lower realms!"


    "And?" Asmodeus asked, not thinking it was a serious problem.


    "T-They are attacking us and we are currently losing!"


    "It''s not my fault that you all are useless." Asmodeus waved his hand and said, "Leave or I will make you suck my cock."


    The demon soldier paled and ran away as quickly as he could.


    ...


    Arthur tore his gaze away from the monitor and said, "Around a hundred yers have entered the White Online. That''s 10% of every Chain Breaker."


    Aether nodded and looked at the rest of the Primordial Gods. They looked solemn since it was impossible to conquer the World of White back with only a hundred yers. However, there was another way.


    "Gaia, I think its time for the final phase."


    "What?!" Gaia looked at Aether with her beautiful eyes shining. They expected the final phase to happen if they were losing. But, they were in a very good position, especially after Satan''s death.


    ''If Aether is telling to do this, he means he is going all-out to push demons into a corner.'' Gaia calmed her heartbeat and turned to Arthur with a calm smile. "May you help me with the announcement?"


    "Oh, alright." Arthur nodded and left Gaia in his office. In there, he put the camera ready and entered the Legacy Company''s servers. He was soon only one button away from starting the broadcast.


    Gaia lifted her dress and sat on the chair. She gazed at the camera with a sweet smile and nodded at Arthur.


    Arthur pressed a button, and soon, each TV in the Four Seasons opened, showing Gaia''s otherworldly face. The citizens were stunned and thought they were staring at a painting.


    But, to everyone''s surprise, Gaia''s mouth opened and she started speaking.


    Everyone listened, almost like they were hypnotized by the sweet voice.


    This was the first time Gaia spoke publicly, and she immediately revealed a bomb of a news. She revealed who was attacking them and didn''t keep anything hidden.


    After ten minutes of breath-stopping announcement, she spoke about everyone who want to volunteer, to enter White Online to exterminate all the demons. It was tempting to many since they couldn''t help in any way because they weren''t Chain Breakers.


    But, Gaia poured cold water on them to say that it could still be extremely dangerous. It was already proven that there were people who could injure people''s avatars and also kill people through them.


    The demons were also monsters who could torture them mentally before finally finishing them off. They might not recover from it ever.


    After fifteen minutes, Gaia finished with a smile. "The choice is yours. For humanity, and for future, there is only one option to choose from. But, I don''t mind if you choose to save your life instead. You all are my children and I will do everything to keep you safe."


    With those following words, the TV screens shut down.


    ...


    Stab!


    A sword went through a demon''s body, killing another demonic creature.


    "There are too many!" A female chain breaker shouted while evading demons in a tightly packed streets. She was with three other chain breakers who have Ordinary and Special Legacies.


    The demons reached to the ends of the streets, and it looked like there were hundreds of them. This was a street in Stronglord.


    The group of chain breakers backed up to an alleyway with a dead-end. They didn''t have any other choice than to fight!


    They desperately fended off the demons, gulped down healing potions, and used their skills till the cooldown dawned.


    However, they were quickly overwhelmed and soon their backs touched the wall at the dead end. The demons found their chance and hurled themselves forward with massive grins.


    TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP!


    The ground suddenly started rumbling as loud footsteps echoed in the distance. The demons turned around and were suddenly stabbed, shot at, and hit by hundreds of screaming yers!


    shes of white light appeared in every street of Stronglord and suddenly thousands of yers appeared, screaming while attacking demons!


    There were weak yers, who couldn''t prate through demon skins, but there were also strong yers who shredded through the demonic creatures with thundering roars.


    The bloodshed ensuded and the demons tried desperately to fight again. However, more and more yers started to appear and started overwhelming the demons!


    The same scene happened in each town and city in Summer, Spring and Autumn Realm!


    Thousands... tens of thousands... hundreds of thousands... millions of yers appeared from the sh of light!


    The chain breakers only watched with wide-open mouths as the demons, who had overwhelmed them only moments ago, were stomped down by screaming and crying yers. They were still terrified and frightened, but their desire to protect their homes overcame their fears.


    It was time for humanity''s counter-attack.


    On the roof of a church, Isaac watched the scene like a god looking over at mortals. His lips slowly curled into a smile.


    "Arise, humanity."

 Chapter ?677 The Birth of White Online.

    ?677 The Birth of White Online.


    "These goddamn humans!" A demon roared and ran across the empty streets while thundering footsteps echoed behind him. He was chased by dozens of screaming yers!


    The demon felt humiliated and angry that he was forced to retreat. He had always taken pride in the strength of his race¡ªthe strongest race in the entire universe.


    Now, he was being chased by those pitiful, weak humans. He thought he could kill them with ease.


    The demons didn''t take into ount that humans were indeed weak, but that was only in their ordinary forms. When they used their avatars, they were as strong as demons, some even stronger!


    This was the goal of the primordial gods when they decided to ovee that weakness. They knew humans wouldn''t be of any help in their weak forms; they were, after all, hindered by the chains, and it wasn''t possible to remove them without killing the person.


    Thus, after the legacy figures couldn''t surpass the primordial gods, they thought for years about how to get humans to help them. Then, they came to the conclusion that if they were without chains, they would be incredibly helpful.


    However, since the chains couldn''t be removed, they had to do it the other way. Thus, the avatars were created, and they were programmed so that there weren''t any chains to block them from growing stronger. With Arthur''s incredible intelligence, he created sses and the XP system.


    The avatars'' job was to help them in fighting demons in the World of White. However, there was still one problem, and that was Four Seasons. If the demons attacked there, the gods would lose without the help of humans.


    They had to find a way to remove the chains from the humans, after all, but there was only one way. They sought Morphius'' help and found out that, with the help of legacy figures, it would be possible to "break" the chains.


    Thus, legacies were created, and these basically connected legacy figures with the avatars. That was the only way to break the chains, but there weren''t enough legacies for every human race.


    So, Arthur decided that he would make everyone actively seek out legacies while promising wealth, fame, and power to everyone who could. It worked perfectly.


    The demons might''ve attacked sooner than expected, but humans seeded in bing strong enough to be of some help. There were humans who were as strong as gods, but it was still not enough.


    They were greatly outmatched in the Four Seasons, but in the World of White, humanity had a powerful army of yers!


    "Catch him!" The yers shouted and followed the demon to an deste alleyway. The demon used the walls and jumped to the roof. He sighed in slight relief after seeing the yers shouting in the alleyway and leaving.


    "Fucking insec¡ª"


    Bang!


    A bullet tore through the demon''s skull and killed him.


    "Whew." On top of a nearby roof, a yer in the Hitman ss holstered his smoking pistol. He was smiling, but a few drops of cold sweat poured down his back.


    All the streets were a battlefield between yers and demons. It wasn''t anymore the fun game, loved by everyone, but instead a battlefield to decide the fate of the human race.


    He still remembered the first month of White Online, when he ran home from school and used his Bronze VR Helmet. He joined his friends in the beginner''s vige and had fun till the time limit.


    Even yearster, he still yed with his high school friends till the time limit and sometimes even missed dinners because they were on a quest.


    None of his friends came online today since they were moving out of the city with their families. He was also currently in a car with his family on the way to visit their grandparents, which might be thest time they see them.


    He secretly took his VR Helmet with him and told his parents that he would watch some movies after revealing the helmet inside the car.


    As he watched some movies, the announcement with the most beautiful woman he''d ever seen appeared. After the announcement, he was scared shitless, but he was tired of cowering in fear like his parents and decided to enter the game.


    The scene shocked him deeply. All the yers were as scared as he was; some even shed tears, but they all came here to face their fears.


    He was only level 155, far from the top yers and could be called mediocre at best. However, he still fought valiantly with only two pistols dangling from his hands.


    Bang, bang, bang!


    ...


    "Something is not right." Lucifer''s frown deepened. "They are doing something, but what..."


    He flicked his sleeves and teleported away from the spaceship. He appeared in the space above the spaceships, where the rest of the Kings and Lords had gathered.


    "Where is Erebus?" he asked in his eternally cold voice.


    The Demon Kings and Lords didn''t answer because they didn''t know the answer.


    Then, they all turned to Tartarus, the only person who should know where he is.


    Lucifer''s eyes grew a degree colder.


    Tartarus shriveled under his cold gaze. "I-I don''t know."


    Lucifer glimpsed at the massive world of the Four Seasons and said, "We can assume Erebus has betrayed us, but he won''t be weed back to the other gods."


    Tartarus lowered his head as everyone''s gaze suddenly felt very hostile. He could only scream profanities at Erebus, who was the person who convinced him to betray others.


    "Where is Asmodeus?" Lucifer asked while looking around.


    "He returned to the God Realm." Mammon revealed with a sneer.


    Lucifer''s eyebrow twitched. "Hmph, I feel like Satan''s disappearance involves something grave. So far, we''d been on offense but couldn''t win any proper battles. So, we have to bring humanity to their knees."


    The Demon Kings and Lords nodded. They only needed a word, and they would attack the Four Seasons at the same time.


    "Lord Lucifer!" An ordinary soldier demon shouted from one of the ships. "We are under attack in the World of White. Millions of humans appeared out of nowhere!"


    The Demon Kings and Lords looked at the soldier demon, causing him to pass out just by being looked at.


    "Aha." Lucifer sneered. "So, this was their n? Not bad, but, we don''t need World of White and only need Four Seasons.


    "Tell everyone to retreat from the or they will vanish along with those disgusting humans."

 Chapter 678 The Death of White Online.

    678 The Death of White Online.


    "Die, die, die, die!" A demon smashed his blood-stained mace against arge shield. A yer with the Knight ss fended off the mace strikes, but was pushed back constantly.


    As the mace descended, the Knight sidestepped and drew his weapons, which he immediately shed through the air towards the demon''s face.


    "Such pitiful attack!" The demon blocked the shield with his bare arm. The de couldn''t prate his skin!


    "Eeek!" The Knight was utterly frightened and lost most of his fighting intent. "S-Someone, assist!"


    After the shout, a powerful spell engulfed him and all his wounds healed miraculously. A small distance away, a healer blessed him with an increase in HP and a small strength boost.


    The Knight felt invigorated but still didn''t think there was any way to win against the demon!


    The demon grabbed the shield, tossed it away with his pure strength, and backhanded the Knight across his face. The yer was flung to the side of the building and was heavily damaged.


    The demon rushed over to the fallen yer, but before he managed to deal a finishing blow, a yer with dual swords appeared in the way and shed diagonally across the demon''s body.


    The sparks flew as the des couldn''t prate the skin!


    It was hopeless!


    However, the dual-wielding yer didn''t look frightened as he hurled himself forward with an even greater desire to y the demon.


    The demon fended off the swords with his de, but there were two swords, and after one got parried, the second de shed down at his kneecaps, forcing him on his knees.


    The yer instantly took an offensive stance and drove the swords through the demon''s shoulders. He was obviously very good at swordsmanship and very experienced.


    After everyone saw his sess in fighting the demons, the rest of the yers put more effort into their fights, and the healers started healing the yers with more motivation.


    ''Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat...''


    The demon heard the echoing voice but didn''t care as his eyes were covered in blood. He wanted to tear the yers apart and feast on their flesh.


    "Aaaaaah!" With a thundering roar, he bolted forward and smashed his fist across the yer''s face.


    The yer fell to the ground with broken face and dropped his swords.


    The demon mounted him, and hammered his fists down at the fallen yer''s face. The HP decreased drastically, but before he died, the demon took a bite off the yer''s neck and started munching on it like it was a delicious treat.


    However, after two bites, the flesh turned to pixels and started to taste like rotten food.


    "Ugh, disgusting!"


    "A-Aaahh!" The yer screamed with a frightened expression and vanished into pixels. His scream brought goosebumps to the yers who heard him. They realized that this was what Gaia warned them about. The dual-wielding swordsman probably needs hundreds of hours of therapy to forget this experience.


    The demon wiped his lips and looked around for his next prey. There were many yers around, fighting against demons. He ignored the group of yers, who worked well together to kill demons, and only targeted the solo yers.


    He rose to his feet and ran after his next target.


    As the hours went by, the yers started to see that the number of demons had drastically decreased. They even had to go look around other streets for any demons, but they couldn''t find any. There were still a few rampaging demons who were being hunted down by hundreds of yers.


    They all started to feel a thrill, thinking that they had already killed all the demons!


    But, they didn''t notice that the demons had lurked outside of the Summer Realm and had left the World of White behind. They ventured to their spaceships, which they used toe here and retreat away from the world.


    Lucifer, the Demon King of the First Heaven, hovered near the destroyed moon while receiving news that most of the demons had already retreated.


    "It''s time." He said and pointed his finger towards the faraway. His finger looked long and slender with a ck nail.


    "What about Asmodeus?" Mammon asked. Even though he hated him, it wasn''t a wise idea to kill him.


    "He won''t die from this." Lucifer said. "This could be his waking call. I am tired of hiszy attitude."


    There didn''t appear to be any kind of sphere at the tip of his finger or some energy beam. Lucifer''s attacks weren''t fancy, but they were powerful.


    "Vanish." It all took one simple word by Lucifer.


    The massive World of White, covered in clouds and mist, started trembling like it was going to slingshot off its course.


    All the cities crumbled to pieces, the skies started to fall apart, the ground cracked, and the mountains turned to ash.


    The yers screamed as they were crushed to pieces by the sudden increase in gravity. The entire World of White was... being destroyed.


    Inside Zeus'' crumbling pce, Asmodeus woke up as the gravity fell down at him like a never-ending punch. The bed broke underneath him and he fell through the floors like a falling meteor.


    His scream of rage resounded across the air.


    BOOOOOOOOOOM!


    The rest of the world cracked in half and exploded like a supernova!


    The broken pieces of the world flew into the distance like fiery meteors and slowly crumbled to pieces. The destruction of the world even affected the Four Seasons, where the wind started pulling trees out of their roots and oceans started turning upside down.


    Lucifer''s attire pped like he was a mighty emperor.


    "This is the power of Demons!"


    The demons cheered inside their spaceships at the show of power. Their lost motivation returned with an even brighter me!


    The Demon Kings and Lords grinned at the sight. They all loved to watch some good destruction.


    Lucifer turned half-way and turned his back to the destroyed world.


    At that moment, a single voice echoed in everyone''s ears.


    "Life Unity!"


    A bright green light engulfed the entire dark universe as the destroyed, dead of the World of White started slowly healing!


    It wasing back from death, and only ten secondster, the World of White had returned to its previous beautiful state with all the cities, realms, and mountains perfectly intact!


    It was like the previous destruction was nothing but illusion!


    Lucifer''s gaze grew cold as all the cheering stopped immediately.


    At the center of the World of White, at its core, a white-haired man slowly opened his eyes with a calm smile.


    "I can also revive deads? That''s pretty neat."

 Chapter ?679 World Version.

    ?679 World Version.


    The demons whispered to themselves loudly after the unnatural resurrection of the World of White. They had seen their Demon Kings and Lords destroys before, and it was always a jaw-dropping experience. However, they never saw a destroyed resurrect!


    Lucifer''s expression gradually darkened. He once again lifted his hand, pointed his finger at the cloud-covered world, and spoke softly, "Vanish."


    Everyone turned to look at the World of White, expecting to see it vanish. However, another spectacr scene appeared.


    "Explorer of Life, WORLD VERSION!"


    Before Lucifer''s spell struck the world, the entire was shrouded in green light before vanishing!


    The world appeared on the other side of the destroyed moon. Isaac used his "Explorer of Life" to teleport the entire world away. He also controlled it perfectly so that there was still the same distance to the sun and the moon without disturbing the economic system of the world.


    "W-what?!" The demons screamed inside the spaceships. They had never seen a that could teleport before!


    They thought they''d seen everything alright, but now they couldn''t believe their eyes!


    "Who the fuck!" Lucifer screamed as he hurled across the space with a single leap. He appeared above the cloud-covered and pointed both fists at it. "Vanishing Destruction!"


    "Explorer of Life, WORLD VERSION!"


    As the same voice entered Lucifer''s irritated eyes, the World of White disappeared and returned to its previous spot.


    "What!" Lucifer screamed.


    Inside the God Realm, Asmodeus was flung across the realm with his body crashing through the buildings. He was screaming and crying for someone to stop this. He felt like he was an insect in a cage, held by an adult who was shaking it back and forth.


    At the core of the world, Isaac opened his eyes while bathing inva. It was even hotter than the surface of the sun, yet he wasn''t even sweating and treated it like a bath.


    "I can''t keep protecting this ce forever. I need them to fuck off." Isaac rose from theva and flew up from the earth like a powerful drill. After a minute or so, he popped out of the ground and appeared back in the Summer Realm.


    Isaac floated in the air like a god. His white camouge outfit pped against the powerful wind while his beautiful white hair rose.


    He buckled up his knees before shooting straight up. He flew through the sky, breaking it in as he entered the Spring Realm. He continued immediately to the Autumn Realm, then to the Winter Realm, andstly, to the God Realm.


    The beautifulnd of the God Realm stretched in front of him.


    Isaac looked above, his gaze pierced through the clouds andnded on the demons. His eyes shone with a brilliant glow as his hands started spreading around. "Death Descent!"


    In the distant space, several flyingets stopped and started to be pulled towards someone, as if they were being controlled by gravity.


    The demons still looked out of the windows until they noticed severalets flying across the, going straight towards them!


    "What is it this time?" The demons screamed. "Why does it look like theets are only targeting us?"


    "God damn it, escape the ships!"


    "RUN!


    Before any of them managed to take a single step out of the ships, theets shredded through the spaceships like a boulder hitting a kid''s toy.


    Beelzebub pped his wings and smashed through the rest of theets. However, three medium-sized spaceships had already been destroyed, killing thousands of demons.


    "Vanish." Lucifer made the broken ships, destroyedets, and dead demons vanish. Their surroundings have again be nice and tidy.


    The Demon Kings looked seriously towards the World of White. It was clear that the person hiding wasn''t ordinary person.


    "One of the Primordial Gods?" Belphegor asked.


    "Most likely." Mammon replied.


    "Let''s retreat for now." Lucifer said and nced at the World of White with narrowed eyes before flying away.


    The rest of the demons followed their leader and flew back towards Four Seasons.


    "What about Asmodeus?" Mammon asked.


    "I am sure he is already woken up and will find the person who bothered us this much." Lucifer said with hands tugged in his pockets.


    ...


    Isaac softlynded back on the ground while his coat stopped pping.


    "That did it." He spoke aloud while noticing that the demons were slowly leaving. However, then the sky rumbled loudly, and a thundering roar echoed in the distance.


    An inhumanly handsome face with two short, sharp horns flew through the clouds and buildings. His skin was pulled upward into a disgusting, wretched look.


    Asmodeus screamed and flew straight into Isaac. He grabbed the white-haired man''s face, smashed it against the ground, and then tossed him through a dozen God City buildings.


    Isaac had his arms crossed as his back crashed through the buildings. After going through another wall and entering the street, his feet firmly nted against the concrete road and stopped his momentum.


    Asmodeus'' figure appeared above the buildings, with his cloak fighting against the wind. He reached his hand towards empty air, then a ck whip appeared in his hand with a leather handle.


    He flicked his wrist. The whip shed down at the nearby building and sliced it right in half. He then turned to Isaac andshed the whip down.


    Isaac grabbed the whip with his right hand, but then his hand started burning as the whip started burning with ck mes. He immediately let go, and the ck whipshed across his face.


    CRASH!


    Isaac''s body crashed through a wall, leaving behind a fallen brick wall.


    "You bastard, do you have any idea how much of a headache I have?" Asmodeus spoke with hatred as he moved the ck whip around him. "First, my sleep was ruined, then I flew back and forth in the God Realm almost a thousand times, and my favorite suit was ruined!"


    After done yelling, heshed the ck whip down at the building, where Isaac flew to, and shredded it. The dusty cloud blew and hindered the vision.

 Chapter 680 Isaac Vs. Asmodeus.

    680 Isaac Vs. Asmodeus.


    "Hmph." Asmodeus pulled back his whip, wrapped it around his shoulder and turned around to fly out of the World of White.


    SWOOSH!


    A crimson beam tore through the air andnded on Asmodeus'' back.


    "?!" Asmodeus didn''t have time to react as the burning beam scorched his back and flew straight through him. A burning, gaping hole appeared in his chest and his organs were pouring out of his body.


    "Cough, cough, cough!" With each cough, blood and pus flew out of his mouth.


    Asmodeus clutched his stomach while screaming in pain. His healing slowly activated and the bleeding wound gradually started closing in.


    However, then a voice rang out. "Advocate of Life."


    "Ah!" Asmodeus let out a moan of pain and fell from the sky like a bird that had lost its wings. He crashed down on the rooftop. His body stopped healing as Isaac stole the necessary Life Energy that Asmodeus needed to heal.


    He was already quite hungry since he slept the entire noon and could only trust his great vitality to activate his healing. However, now that had been taken away from him.


    Isaac walked out of the destroyed building with his clothes in rags, but no visible scratches. He tossed his ragged coat into his inventory and continued walking bare-chested.


    He jumped,nded on the rooftop, and sat on the edge. The screaming Asmodeus was only five meters away from him.


    ''Learn to use it quickly! It will be the source of your greatest strength; one day, you will use that weapon to wipe that fucking smirk off Asmodeus'' face!''


    Isaac remembered his future self''s words and remembered him speaking about Silvernium being his greatest strength in the future. It might have been if he stayed as White Death''s Legacy Carrier, but now he was an Advocate of Life, who was the embodiment of death and life.


    No one could have expected him to reach this stage, especially not his future self, who was weaker than the current Isaac.


    "I wonder what you did to him." Isaac spoke to Asmodeus. He wondered what he did to his future self to make him hate him so badly.


    "Argh." Asmodeus raised his wretched face to look at Isaac. "You... bastard! I will rip off your limbs, make you my fucking ve and rap--"


    Bam!


    Isaac kicked at his jaw, shattering it. The blood spattered like a fountain.


    "Such a foul mouth." Isaac said coldly. ''I can see why my future self would hate him. He is a person easy to hate, especially if you are weaker. Only strength can shut his mouth for good.''


    Asmodues rose to his feet in a hurry while his jaw was hanging off the side of his mouth. He looked like a monster with a demonic face.


    He took a step forward, but once he did, he felt an indescrible amount of pressure surround him. He knew if he attacked, he would.


    Asmodeus clenched his fists in anger. A ck portal appeared behind him, and he stepped right into it, disappearing from the World of White.


    He traveled across countless realms, going past the destroyed moon, and the rest of the demons. Asmodeus was leaving the universe behind!


    However, then a hand appeared in the same ck vortex and pulled Asmodeus out of the portal!


    ''What, that''s impossible!'' Asmodeus cried out in his mind as he was thrown out of the portal and fell straight to the dusty, deserted of Mars.


    "Sorry, but it''s impossible to escape death." Isaac appeared beside him and whipped his leg across Asmodeus'' face, sending him flying straight through the orange ground.


    ...


    Ten minutes ago.


    The primordial gods were watching through the monitors the goings-on of the war in the World of White and were very pleased. However, they also noticed the strange disappearance of the demons. The monitors couldn''t show where they disappeared or if they just died.


    But then, they heard a thundering explosion that was perhaps the loudest sound they had ever heard. The monitors shook, like they were about to fall off the walls. In them, the cities started falling apart, with the skies crumbling down and the yers dying with loud screams.


    "Ah!" Gaia''s mouth opened with a painful moan. She suddenly couldn''t breathe as her knees buckled, forcing her to her butt. She felt an immense amount of death in that split second.


    "Gaia!" Aether ran next to her while the rest of the primordials looked shocked. Even Chaos couldn''t help but change her cold facial expression.


    "This is..." Chronos grimaced. "I can... perhaps change the flow of time and restore the world."


    "The demons would never let you." Nyx said coldly. "Also, you might be able to restore the world, but you will never be able to restore all the lives lost there."


    "Shit!"


    "Hey, look!" Eros shouted while sitting on top of his soft cloud. Everyone turned to the monitors while Gaia finally exhaled. Her expression looked amazed as she understood what was currently happening.


    The monitors showed the cities, ground and sky slowly restoring. The monitors were part of system program, that allowed them to see things in World of White without any cameras. So, they could also watch the entire destruction of the world, but also the reconstruction.


    Under their astonished looks, the world returned to normal.


    Gaia climbed to her feet with a weak smile. "Look... all the lives have returned!"


    There were animals, wild beasts, ghosts and all sorts of lives that were lost because of the World''s destruction. However, now they all came back to life, without even realizing what had happened.


    "Gaia, did you do this?" Aether asked.


    "No... I can''t." Gaia said with a worried expression. ''Was it you? Resurrecting an entire world and so many lives must be agonizingly painful... I hope you are alright.''


    ...


    On Mars.


    Isaac coughed blood soundlessly. He looked at the crimson bloo without expression and wiped his lips clea


    The Demon King of the Fourth Heaven, Asmodeus, jumped through the ground with broken face. He was trying to fly out of the, but was instantly stopped by Isaac, who kicked him down back to the ground.


    "..." Isaac''s face showed split-second pain, but he didn''t show it to Asmodeus.

 Chapter ?681 The Incoming Battle.

    ?681 The Iing Battle.


    ''Who is this human?'' Asmodeus wondered while getting squished by the ground as he was buried deep in Mars'' soil.


    ''He isn''t normal human. None of us expected a human to reach this level. Lucifer would be surely interested in him.'' He thought to himself while trying to move his neck. He nced at the orange soil, thought for a moment and then took a huge bite.


    Crunch, crunch, crunch.


    Asmodeus started munching on the disgusting, dusty, and cold ground like it was food. As soon as the soil traveled to his stomach, his jaw healed immediately, and so did the rest of his body.


    Ordinary demons could only increase their healing speed by eating flesh and drinking blood, but Demon Kings could increase their speed of healing by eating anything. That was a gap in Primordial God''s knowledge and apparently in Isaac''s knowledge as well.


    "Yawn, this is bothersome." Asmodeus finished eating and started to climb towards the surface. ''I can assume that Satan''s disappearance has something to do with this man. If I can attract the attention of others, we can effortlessly kill this bastard.''


    ...


    In Four Seasons, the yers who entered White Online were thrown out of the game.


    They all struggled to get out of their beds as the world was spinning around them. The world, after all, copsed on them.


    The White Online forums were sted with news, the yers sharing their experiences and wondering what happened.


    In Xerxus'' room, he held his aching head with an ufortable look.


    "We died?" Xerxus asked with a beating heart. "Doesn''t that mean we lost our legacies?"


    He didn''t want to think about such possibility.


    Xerxus rose to his feet and hesitantly moved to his sprinting form. His heart was pouding against his chest as he slowly activated his legacy powers.


    Swooosh!


    Xerxus shed across the room at incredible speed and appeared right back in his previous spot. It was an incredible disy of speed.


    "I still have my powers?" He wondered andy back on the ground and ced the VR Helmet around his head. He had a feeling that what they experienced couldn''t be what they thought it was.


    ''Did everyone die even?'' Xerxus thought and, with a beating heart, pressed the button and entered a nk white space.


    There, he could enter the game by pressing "White Online" game.


    After pressing, the space sucked him in and he appeared back in the vast grasnd with beautiful nature surrounding him.


    The scene was harmonious as birds chirped in the distance and a beautiful blue sky stretched across thend.


    Xerxus hesitantly looked at his legs, then he took a single step and appeared kilometer away with streak of lightning following behind him.


    "We didn''t die..." Xerxus thought with amazement and decided to log out to tell everyone.


    He didn''t know that every yer had actually died and he had lost his legacy, but because of Isaac, everyone was resurrected!


    ...


    "Raaaaaaaaaar!" Leviathan burst through the water and shot water beams towards Ceto.


    Ceto created hundreds of tiny rain drops and threw them towards the iing water beams. The raindrops nailed through the water and struck Leviathan''s cracked blue hide.


    "Thousand-Year Drizzle!" As dark clouds gathered above Leviathan, millions of tiny raindrops fell down like sharp knives.


    Leviathan submerged back into the water and dived deeper till it was moving across the ocean floor. The massive sea serpent then started growing smaller and smaller, until he was back in his human form.


    ''I am not matched to her in the ocean.'' Leviathan thought while kicking the water and swam further away from the battle.


    Ceto stood on the water and felt ripples in the depths of the ocean. She noticed that Leviathan was running away.


    "Aether, he is going back to Wintend." Ceto spoke to empty air, but her voice traveled across the air and space till itnded on Aether''s ears.


    Aether nodded in the monitor room and crossed his arms thoughtfully.


    ...


    "Our subjects are getting restless." Belphegor said while sitting on a high-back chair. "We should do something. Our great Demon Race, has only suffered loses so far."


    Lucifer listened to theints silently while gazing out of the windows. He stared at Four Seasons silently.


    "Lucifer, we should do something." Mammon said. "Send me and Belphegor. We will go assist Leviathan. Then Demon Lords should attack other major cities. We would force them to their knees."


    "Do what you want." Lucifer said and closed his eyes. "I am going to go thinking, so do what you want."


    His words spooked many, and he then left the room to go "thinking".


    The Demon Kings shared nces and nodded.


    "Let''s go." Mammon said to Belphegor, whozily stood up and followed him to inform the Demon Lords that it was time for the war to enter its endgame.


    ...


    "Gather up!" Mammon and Belphegor stood in front of the army gathered in the biggest spaceship. There were Demon Lords in the front, their Demon Generals behind them, and the Commanding Demons at the back.


    "Belphegor and I will lead an attack against mankind and gods." Mammon said. "Demon Lords, youe with us. Choose one Demon General toe with you, and they will create their own squad out ofmanding demons."


    Demon Lords nodded.


    "Hurry up, we will leave in 10." Mammon said and left the room with Belphegor.


    "Ano." Anti-Social turned to Ano, the Flower Sword, "Choose your own squad.


    Ano nodded softly.


    "Raizo." Axcel looked at the bone monster.


    Raizo nodded and turned to themanding demons, who shuddered at his scary appearance.


    The rest of the Demon Lords chose their own generals, until it was Garmagello''s turn. He clicked his tongue after remembering that his general had died in the first battle of the war.


    Garmagello looked around until settling his gaze on a beautiful woman who gave off a subus vibe, "Demon General Be, choose your own squad!"


    Demon General Laxus looked annoyed as the Demon Lords didn''t even bother to check at them. ''I captured Thor, but I hadn''t gotten single promotion in rank! God damn it, I will go torture him more and get the information that would help us, no matter what!''


    Be softly nodded, and a dozenmanding demons instantly gathered around her. They were with her when they broke the Illusion Veil.


    Be''s reputation had skyrocketed among Demons, Lords, and Kings, who thought highly of her. In the future, it was possible that she would rece Dukeran and not Ano!

 Chapter 682 Bellas Mission.

    682 Be''s Mission.


    The spaceships separated from the demon fleet and started flying down to the Four Seasons. The massive spaceships with their humming engines filled the atmosphere.


    Once again, mankind was trembling in fear as the next attack was about to happen!


    The White Paradise instantly became alerted as the Primordial Gods were mobilizing everyone!


    They felt the pressure of several Demon Kings and Demon Lords. They were tired of losing the battles and decided to push mankind to their knees!


    As the two biggest spaceships appeared above White Paradise with Mammon and Belphegor, with their army, on board, the rest of the spaceships suddenly split in two and started flying in different directions.


    The Primordial Gods'' expressions darkened.


    Aether closed his eyes and started thinking faster than ever before. "We can assume that Leviathan is alsoing here, so we have to fight three Demon Kings. Ceto should stay in ocean, don''t let anyone leave Wintend.


    "Eros, you take one of them, Nyx will take the other and Uranus, you take Leviathan. Leviathan should be weaker atnd, but do not underestimate him. You can also assist others since you are the absolute god of the sky."


    Eros, Nyx, and Uranus nodded.


    "The Gods split into seven teams, led by God, Odin, Ares, Athena, Apollo, Ra, and... Loki."


    "Loki?" Gaia looked at him strangely. "Are you sure? There are stronger gods."


    "He often stays in Thor''s shadow, but Loki is a terrifying god." Aether said confidently. "Tell him to unleash the "Fenrir" the Devourer of Gods."


    Gaia nodded.


    "I am going also." Arthur stood up from the chair. "I cannot help here, but I can somewhere else."


    "No!" Aether shouted. "You''ve yet to learn my powers."


    Arthur waved his hand without caring and left the room.


    "He can do it." Gaia said gently. "He is, after all, the greatest genius this world had ever seen."


    ...


    Be controlled the spaceship while following behind Garmagello''s fleet. He had his own army, which he took out for this asion. Her squad was basically to keep all vermin away from Garmagello and his army.


    However, Be also had her own ns. She glimpsed out of the window and thought, ''We should be in top of Starshow now. The news I received by hacking to National TV''s channel, told that person called Isaac Whitelock with same face as Wraith is living somewhere around here.''


    She nced back at the fleet and suddenly spun the steering wheel around, started spiraling downward as if she lost the control of the ship. However, before crashing, she stabilized the ground and flew hundred meters from the ground while going to a certain direction.


    "General, what is this?" Her subordinates asked as they saw Garmagello''s fleet disappearing above the clouds.


    "We have another mission. We betterplete it." Be said.


    They nodded and decided to trust their general.


    Be controlled the spaceship till a beautiful city appeared in the distance. It was Snowstar in all its glory. There were cars driving out of the city, making the city more deserted with each passing second.


    As the drivers saw the appearance of a spaceship, they all panicked and pressed the gas pedal to its limit. The roads were filled with panic, and crashes started to happen with everyone screaming.


    However, the spaceship flew right by them and entered the city with a loud humming engine. The snow blew rapidly, causing the streets to be engulfed in a snow cloud.


    "Stay here." Be said, opened the hatch and jumped down. The rest of themanding demons stayed in their seats with frowns. They didn''t understand what the mission was about.


    Thud, Bended calmly on the snow-covered sidewalk. She looked around and caught a glimpse of a frightened-looking shopkeeper, who was apparently packing his stuff in the nearby store.


    Be''s lips curved into a smile as she entered the store while the frightened shopkeeper was trembling behind the counter.


    "Hello." She leaned against the counter, smashing her breasts against the desk and looked at the shopkeeper with a smile. "I have a question, can you answer?"


    "U-Uhh, ok." The shopkeeper answered mechanically as his cheeks flushed with deep pink. Be''s demonic ability had activated.


    "Where is... Whitelock residence?" Be asked with beautiful smile.


    The shopkeeper''s hand moved unwillingly to the drawer, where he took the pen and map, then drew a circle on the map. His eyes were trembling with tears dropping down. It was clear that he didn''t want to do it, but his body didn''t listen to him.


    "Thank you." Be took the map, winked, and caused the shopkeeper to explode into a shower of blood. She then left the store, skipped across the street, and hummed a merry tune. "Isaac, I amiiiing."


    Be soon arrived at the abandoned gate, with the guards long gone, and entered the neighborhood without any trouble.


    She continued walking briskly, until one of the mansion''s doors opened, revealing two middle-aged humans with their suitcases.


    "Eh?" Tom froze in his steps.


    "What is i--" Rachel was helping the dog leave the house when she heard Tom''s voice. She turned around and paled. Be looked at them with a small smile and waved as she walked by their mansion.


    Tom stood in front of Rachel, protecting her while ring at Be. However, the demoness didn''t care about them as she finally entered the gates of the Whitelock residence.


    "T-Tom, s-she is." Rachel covered her mouth. "Isabe and Maxwell are there!"


    "I-Is Isaac there?" Tom asked with a pale face. "H-He should be able to defeat one demon, right?"


    "I-I don''t think he is there." Rachel''s body trembled in fear. "No... Isabe, escape!"


    "Ah, noisy." Be looked around and shook her head in dissatisfaction. Shen then swiped her finger across the empty air, and both Rachel and Tom exploded into a fountain of blood.


    "Now, Isaac, I am here!" Be kicked the door open, but her smile soon froze as she saw a purple-robed man standing in front of her with his palm touching her forehead.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed... Light!"


    A bright light appeared from the palm and forced Be to shut her eyes as the light was almost blinding her.


    Maxwell then pulled out a revolver from his underarm holster, ced it on Be''s forehead and pulled the trigger.


    Bang!


    The bullet grazed the forehead, but then slingshotted away. It couldn''t prate her durable skin!


    Maxwell gritted his teeth.


    A few hours ago, Maxwell entered the game and brought his Grand Priest''s robes with him to real life. He didn''t care if Arthur got mad about it because he wanted a way to protect Isabe and their unborn baby.


    However, as it seemed, even the incredibly powerful Grand Priest robe couldn''t fend off the Demon General!

 Chapter 683 Maxwell Vs. Bella.

    "Ouch." Be rubbed her forehead with a pout. "That hurt. Who are you and why did you shoot me out of nowhere?"


    "Begone, demon!" Maxwell pointed towards the ceiling with his right arm. "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed... Ceiling fall!"


    Crack! The ceiling shattered and the room above them started crumbling apart. The room was a bathroom, and sinks, toilets, and bathtubs fell straight down the shattered floornding on top of the demoness.


    Be fell to her knees after the bathtubnded on her head, but she quickly straightened her legs and threw the bathroom facilities away¡ªthrough the window.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed... Smoke Cloud!"


    From the cracked floor, smoke seeped through and filled the entire first floor with thick smoke, that couldn''t be seen through.


    Be squinted her eyes while looking around for the robed man, but she could barely see herself, let alone someone else.


    However, she heard a voice.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed... House Fall!"


    Crack... following the voice, a lone figure jumped through the window andnded on a snowbank. The house started crumbling apart, and all four floors and the attic fell straight on top of Be.


    Maxwell stood to his feet while snow stained the robes and hoped that this was enough to defeat the demon. ''Please be enough... I hope Isabe is already far enough from being undetected by her, if she survived somehow.''


    When the news about spaceships appearing in Snowstar first appeared, Maxwell immediately wore his robes and told Isabe to leave through the snow forest. She had ten minutes of head start, and Maxwell nned to increase it by risking his life in the fight against the demon.


    His face was still incredibly solemn as thick scent of blood traveled to his nostrils. Maxwell nced to one of the mansions, where two piles of blood and blood-stained dog were.


    His eyes shed with anger and sadness.


    ''I will kill her even if it is thest thing I do.'' Maxwell turned to the destroyed mansion and saw the items from his children''s rooms. Framed pictures, destroyed bedsheets, nkets, and clothes.


    Crack... CRACK!


    From beneath the mansion''s ruins, an explosion echoed, and the familiar horned demoness appeared with her tail swaying behind her. She wasn''t even a little bit injured, and it was almost as if she had been bit by a mosquito.


    "You destroyed Isaac''s house..." Be''s face twitched, and an angry expression appeared. "How dare you?!"


    ''Isaac? How does this wretched being know his name?'' Maxwell frowned and thought the worst. ''She came here because she is after him? I now have another reason to kill this bitch!''


    Be turned around, her veins reaching her neck. She seemed extremely angry, and her bloodlust chilled the air.


    Her palms showed a pair of glowing spheres. They were exactly those that destroyed the indestructible Moon Rock.


    "Spheres of Destruction!" She shouted and threw the spheres towards Maxwell.


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed... Slippery ground!"<sub> </sub>


    The ground turned slippery, as if they were standing on a mixture of ice and soap.


    Maxwell turned around and started skating on the ground like he was on an ice skating rink. Theglowing spheres followed him as the robed man skated through the gates and turned right.


    The spheres flew past him, striking another mansion and making it explode. An enormous mushroom cloud made of fire appeared in the peaceful neighborhood.


    "Arhg!" Maxwell covered his face and was hurled across the neighborhood, with severe fire damage appearing around his body. The robes were slightly burned, with the sleeves having holes.


    Be leaped across the air, and saw Maxwell rolling down the slippery ground with incredible speed. The ground was so slippery that after Maxwell arrived on a downhill, his speed increased and even Be had slight difficulty keeping up.


    Maxwell turned to his stomach, and even though the wind blew against his face and the passing buildings were nothing but a blurry image, he still focused all his attention on increasing his speed.


    Be flew past the buildings with her clothes fluttering around her. She soon saw Maxwell entering one of the main streets soon.


    Once again, glowing spheres appeared around her palms, which she tossed over to Maxwell.


    Maxwell could barely hear anything because of the wind, but the weather suddenly turned incredibly hot. He barely managed to turn his neck muscles enough to look backward, but he managed to see several spheres flying towards him. He remembered what happened to that mansion.


    If even one of themnded near him, he would die a thousand times over.


    Maxwell''s brilliant mind quickly ran into high gear as an unprecedented threat was nearing him. His heart was already slightly aching as a result of using his mana so quickly, but he couldn''t bother caring about it now.


    ''Think Maxwell, think!'' Maxwell gritted his teeth as he finally entered the main street and his speed slowed down. He awkwardly ced his hands below him and stood in a kneeling position. He slowly straightened his legs and started kicking his legs back and forth to increase his speed.


    The glowing spheres were mere fifty meters away from him, and with each second, they caught up with five more meters.


    ''The city is quite abandoned, everyone left for somewhere less inhabited so that demons wouldn''t find them. Cities are the worst ces to be right now, and everyone in mypany has already left... I guess I have to do that.''


    Maxwell moved his arms around him and started skating like he was wearing skates. Be, and the glowing spheres followed him closely as he increased his speed slowly.


    In the distance, a beautiful skyscraper appeared with the name "Whitelock" adorning the top of the building. The building was empty and deserted, with no one in the streets.


    This part of the city had already been evacuated.


    Maxwell looked at the ground and saw that it was getting less slippery. He couldn''t use the spell to make the entire city slippery, but managed to get this far.


    ''Little bit more, little bit more!'' He shouted inside his mind and soon arrived near the front entrance of Whitelock Company, but skated right by.


    Then, as Be and the glowing spheres neared the entrance, Maxwell turned around to face them with the glowing spheres being only twenty meters away!


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed... SKYSCRAPER, FALL DOWN!"

 Chapter 684 Mortal Vs. Demon.

    Crack...


    The foundations that had held the Whitelockpany for a decade started cracking and crumbling apart.


    The entire skyscraper started slowly tilting sideways, with windows slowly cracking as the office equipment slid down the floor and crashed with them.


    Maxwell heard the resounding sound and so did Be. However, the demon could dodge the skyscraper effortlessly if she could with her speed.


    ''I have to slow her down.''


    Maxwell pointed his finger at Be. "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed... Gravity 100x!"


    Crack!


    Both Maxwell and Bended on the slippery ground with their bodies slowly burying to the ground.


    Maxwell was in worse shape as he didn''t expect the gravity to affect him too, but it was expected since he could only control the environment and not people, so the gravity''s area of effect must be greater than just one meter around the demon.


    Be looked annoyed as the glowing spheres couldn''t move under the effect of gravity. However, she quickly managed to force herself to stand while Maxwell was already having difficulty breathing as his head was smashed into the ground.


    "You are a bothersome insect." Be dragged her feet across the concrete ground, as if it were made of sand.


    "No... you are." Maxwell grinned as he barely raised his bloodied face. "You should... look at your surroundings!"


    "Hmm?" Be frowned, but then arge shadow appeared around him. The massive skyscraper with over fifty floors fell down on her!


    "Grand Priest''s Miraculous Deed... Normal Gravity!" Maxwell shouted, the gravity returned to normal, and he immediately stood up and tried to run to safety while the skyscraper crashed down on Be and the glowing spheres.


    Behind him, the skyscraper exploded, with a massive mushroom cloud filling the air and causing the sky to turn dark orange!


    The surrounding buildings was lit in mes with ground melting down.


    Maxwell was hit in the back by the shockwave and was thrown across hundreds of meters until he crashed into a building.


    It was a devastating strike to his mortal body.


    Maxwell rolled across the building until he crashed into the wall at the end of the building and stopped moving altogether. It was unknown what his current state was.


    The destruction of the skyscraper caused a cloud of fire and dust to spread across the Snowstar while the mushroom cloud pierced through the sky with dangerous presence.


    On the outskirts of Snowstar, Isabe left a forest while hugging her stomach, which had started to slightly bulge. She wore very thick winter clothing, made by herpany to make it less tight around her stomach, making it perfect for pregnant women.


    She looked back at the Snowstar and saw the enormous mushroom cloud with trembling eyes. She saw that it happened some distance away from their homes, but strangely close to her husband''spany.


    ''I hope he is alright.'' Isabe thought while rubbing her belly gently. ''I am sure he is alright since our home is far enough away.


    When the spaceships appeared, Marvin, Sophia, and Mark happened to be at the construction area. There were also Marvin''s and Sophia''s friends, while Mark happened to tag along.


    They immediately informed them to leave Snowstar as soon as possible, and Isabe hoped they would listen, but she trusted her children and their friends.


    Isabe looked away from burning Snowstar and left the city in foot--her destination was still unclear, but anywhere was better than somewhere with demons.<sub> </sub>


    ...


    On Mars.


    Asmodeusshed with the whip, tearing through the air andnding on Isaac.


    "Tsk." Isaac nced at his arm that was slightly bleeding, but it quickly healed miraculously.


    "You like to get whipped that much, aye?" Asmodeus sneered. "Then, let me do it more!"


    Isaac narrowed his eyes and dodged the next whish. He was getting slightly annoyed, but then, his body froze as he felt something odd.


    He turned around to look across space, straight at the Four Seasons.


    He felt the life signal of someone very close to him slowly dwindling away.


    "You shouldn''t be distracted!" Asmodeusshed out with the whip, but it was suddenly snatched by Isaac, who pulled him closer with the whip, grabbed his neck and shattered it with his deathly grip.


    Asmodeus'' body copsed on the ground, but even though his neck was broken and his spine shattered, he was still slowly healing!


    Isaac, however, didn''t have time to care about him and quickly leaped off the Mars and started flying towards Four Seasons with panic shing across his eyes.


    ...


    "Ah..." Be looked at the ceiling of a broken skyscraper while she was buried fifty meters below the ground with fifty floors'' worth of buildings piled on top of her.


    Her legs had separated from the rest of her body and she was lying whoknows where.


    Half of her face was burnt, her horns cracked, and her previously beautiful body had been scarred.


    She never expected this to be possible. It wasn''t done by the Chain Breaker or God either, but a mere mortal did this, who was at equal level to an insect.


    "Isaac... save me." Be reached her scarred arm towards the faraway ceiling with crimson tears pouring out of her eyes. "I just wanted to... make food and see you enjoy it. Why did you refuse toe with me to the demon realm? I..."


    Be drew a long breath as her heart suddenly stopped. Her vitality couldn''t save her from death.


    The fire raged around her and caused her body to be lit in mes.


    ...


    "What is the general doing?" themanding demons spoke while looking at the distant cloud of mes. They knew it was the result of Be''s sphere of destruction, but they wondered why she did that and who she fought.


    "Let''s fly closer to see." They decided, but before they could move forward, the ship''s ceiling was suddenly ripped off, as if it was done by an invisible hand.


    Themanding demons screamed as they looked above, only to see a white-haired man looking down at them coldly, like a god looking down at mortals.


    "F-Fire!" themanding demons shouted, but before they could draw their weapons, Isaac clenched his fist and flew through the ship like a missile. The ship exploded with a fiery explosion, but themanding demons still survived with only severe burn damage.


    "Die." Isaac said coldly while his back was facing them. Behind him, themanding demons gasped greedily for air and died.

 Chapter 685 Pain Of Resurrection.

    Isaac hovered above Snowstar while looking at the burning buildings with a cold expression. He couldn''t feel any life signals within two kilometers from the scene of destruction.


    He slowlynded on the pavement and looked towards the fallen burning sign. The sign said "Wh*tel*ck".


    Two letters were burning, but it was clear what the sign said.


    Isaac recognized the destroyed skyscraper, which was strewn across the Snowstar, as his father''spany.


    "..." he lowered his gaze at the ground and it was strangely slippery. However, when he pulled his leg back, it was again coarse ground. It was strange since from meter onward, the ground was as slippery as standing on top of ice.


    ''This is...'' he remembered him making the floor slippery while using Grand Priest robes back in the abandoned hospital. The feeling of the slippery ground was exactly the same.


    ''Father!'' Isaac now realized where the strange feeling came. His eyes darkened as he activated his "God Eyes" and saw everything in Snowstar.


    At hundred meters away, there was a man-sized hole in a two-story building''s wall with motionless man lying on the second floor.


    Crack!


    The ground cracked as Isaacunched forward, crossed the distance, and entered the building through the hole.


    Isaac saw the ragged purple robes worn by a closed-eyed man with a dead-looking expression.


    "Father!" Isaac knelt on the ground and touched Maxwell''s neck. He couldn''t feel anything. He then ripped the robes, ced his ear against the cold chest, and the heart didn''t beat.


    He was dead...


    Isaac''s eyes shook as he felt the extent of Maxwell''s damage. His spine was shattered with bones piercing his organs. Even if the bones didn''t pierce his organs, he would have been utterly crippled.


    Isaac used his thumbs to open Maxwell''s eyes and looked directly at his dead lightless eyes. "Resurrection!"


    A gentle green light entered Maxwell''s body and magical thing happened. His shattered spinal cord started being healed, as if they were glued together. At first, his spine was filled with cracks, but then it only looked like they were scars until perfectly healed.


    His bones returned to their previous spots and all punctured organs healed.


    Ba-dump... ba-dump...


    The heart started slowly pounding, and the veins started spreading warmth around Maxwell''s body. A soft breath left his mouth, but his eyes stayed closed, like he was sleeping.


    ? "Arth!" Isaac gritted his teeth in agonizing pain. His breathing became harder and harder, then his spine slightly cracked, causing him to cough up blood.


    ''Some of his injuries transferred to me?!'' Isaac wiped the blood off his lips and struggled to stand up. ''I am nearing the limit of my ability. The resurrection of the World of White and everyone there was too much.


    ''I suppose I put too much strain on my body. Even though my body is now nigh indestructible and my blood is golden, meaning I am god now, but still resurrecting so many is mental. Because of my nigh infinite knowledge, I know quite a lot about gods.


    ''If ordinary God resurrected someone, they would die, which happened once before. If god like Zeus resurrected someone, they would be injured, but still survive, but maybe five or so is his max.<sub> </sub>


    ''Gaia could resurrect quite many. She is the mother of all life, after all, but no one can resurrect as many as I can.


    ''The current limit is around a million or so, but resurrecting World of White was too much.''


    Isaac sighed, as there was no such thing as omnipotence. Maybe there was, but he hadn''t reached him even after bing the embodiment of death and life.


    ''I feel like I am at the peak of my power, yet I feel like I am so far from omnipotence.'' Isaac looked into the sky and wondered whether there was someone with omnipotent power somewhere.


    "Ugh..." Maxwell tumbled around in pain as his face was distorting. He was still recovering from the resurrection.


    Isaac looked at his father before leaving the building. He didn''t n to reveal anything to him yet. The time wille when the final battle starts, and at that time, his full power will be revealed to the world.


    ''Now, who was the person who killed my father...'' Isaac''s eyes turned cold as he approached the fallen skyscraper. He effortlessly put his hand below the fallen skyscraper, lifted dozens of floors without breaking a sweat and tossed them away like they were garbage.


    He hopped down on the deep hole with mes raging around as the skyscraper''s ruins filled the hole. However, he could see a burned figure at the bottom of the hole.


    Isaac punched through the debris until he arrived at the burnt corpse.


    The burnt horns, cracked tail, and somewhat familiar facial features made him realize who the person was.


    "Be..." Isaac gritted his teeth and grabbed her corpse by the throat. He then injected a small portion of his power into the burnt corpse, just barely enough to make her alive for ten more seconds. That alone brought some backpain to Isaac, but not too much since he didn''t fully resurrect her.


    "Ah!" Be''s eyes opened in a hurry as her moan of pain resounded through her hoarse voice. All the pain known to mankind raged havoc inside her body.


    "Be."


    She then heard a cold voice--a voice that brought primordial fear into her. She lifted her painful gaze to the white-haired man and couldn''t help but let out a surprised eek.


    But then, she saw the cold eyes, like she was being stared at by someone who hated her the most.


    "I have questions and you better answer." Isaac clenched her neck tighter. "Why did you seek a roommate back in Stronglord? You definitely didn''t need money, and now that I know you are a demon, I really wanted to know why and did you n something."


    He would have wanted to kill her immediately for killing his father, but he had a desire to know more about demons, and was his meeting with Be really a coincidence or a trick yed by fate.


    "I..." Be was squirming in agony. Even talking was painful. "Needed... to... look... human... Emperor Stronglord... could have... noticed my existence and exterminated me... meeting you... was just luck..."


    ''Emperor Stronglord... how could he have found her? She looked perfectly human.'' Isaac frowned. "You will die in five seconds, so you better answer quickly. How could he find you?"


    "He... is... the only New-Gen Legacy Figure... he has powers of demon ying..." Be uttered quietly and painfully. As she opened her cracked burnt lips one more time, her heart stopped and she died.


    Isaac let go of her throat and sighed. "So, it was luck... well, I would call it unluck."

 Chapter 686 Stronglord Army.

    Isaac stood on top of a skyscraper, surrounded by sea of broken buildings and mes. The words spoken by Be was ringing in his mind while he made sure that Snowstar was evacuated properly without anyone there.


    However, at that moment, he felt two dead souls hugging each other and they both looked strangely familiar.


    Isaac activated his God Eyes and looked at the dead souls. He recognized them as Rachel and Tom.


    "Be did that too?" he grimaced in pain and held his chest while feeling his beating heart. He wondered whether he could do two more resurrections before breaking down.


    ''Come on, this is only physical pain. You have suffered far more!'' Isaac''s eyes shone in a brilliant green glow as two dead souls slowly started returning from the afterlife. The two pools of blood started to be two human-looking figures.


    The dog started barking loudly as its tail wagged around. The two blood-covered humans soon started to have flesh with hair sprouting from their scalps and features turning more real.


    It didn''t take long for Rachel and Tom to return to their human forms, with all memories of the past hourspletely erased. It happened with Maxwell too, since it was impossible toe back to living without some side-effects.


    Isaac''s legs buckled as his heart started grapping itself. It was like an invisible hand was squeezing it!


    "Ah..." Isaac could barely let out a breath as he fell to the ground, with cold sweat drenching his body and never-ending pain flooding through his body. This was the kind of pain that couldn''t be removed by healing speed. It came from his ability and it was his punishment, which he had to deal with naturally.


    ''I need... a ce to rest...'' at that moment, he was only thinking about Be''s words and so thought about Stronglord. His God Eyes looked across the entire world until he found Lock Stronglord''s current ce.


    He was at Sprinnd, at his own estate which he managed to buy with his endless wealth.


    Isaac struggled to stand, then activated the Explorer of Life and disappeared from Wintend.


    ...


    At west of Sprinnd, a beautiful vi with vast garden, flourishing yard and beautiful bush statues, stood in the middle of surrounding forest with gate and long wall surrounding the estate.


    A lone well-kempt road led from the gate to the nearest city, which was in mes and in ruins after the demons attacked.


    Thousands of Stronglord soldiers had gathered in the backyard, doing their usual training as they were preparing for the inevitable attack of demons.


    They were the strongest army in the entire Summer Realm, the Stronglord Army, that conquered hundreds of countries and managed to build an empire called the Stronglord Empire.


    Their members were top-notch and had ovee the boundaries of ordinary human limits. All of them were above level 500, while their leader, Lock Stronglord, was the strongest New-Gen human.


    In the fourth floor''s study, Lock Stronglord was busy trying to use his cellphone, which he received from the government formunication purposes. They realized the power Lock held and the power of his army, which could triumph over any mankind army.


    "How does this strange box work?" he mumbled in annoyance because no one on the government''s side taught him how to use this!


    As he was ready to throw it away, a radiant green light appeared near the ceiling, soon revealing a pale-faced man, who fell to the ground head-first.<sub> </sub>


    Lock jumped to his feet and grabbed a revolver from the drawer. After pushing the hammer down and spinning the cylinder around, he approached the fallen man and used his leg to flip him over. Then, a strangely handsome face appeared in his vision, but he felt like he''d seen him before.


    "Who are you and where did youe from?" Lock aimed the revolver at Isaac with his finger stroking the trigger.


    "I... Wraith!" Isaac coughed out his words and clutched his chest in agony.


    "Wraith...?" Lock then remembered a delicate, beautiful face that had equally beautiful white hair. "Legacy carrier of White Death?"


    He lowered the revolver, pushed the hammer up and holstered it. He then kneeled next to Isaac and saw the immense pain he was in. "What happened?"


    "Need... rest..." Isaac grabbed Lock''s arm while speaking through his gritted teeth. "Don''t... tell... anyone... I am here..."


    "You better answer my questions afterward." Lock sighed and carried Isaac to the couch. Then, he drew the curtains shut, closed the lights and took a seat behind his desk as he looked over to Isaac with frown.


    He then checked the cellphone and closed it before throwing it inside drawer.


    ...


    As the battle in Snowstar ended and Isaac met Lock once again, the war in White Paradise was raging.


    "DON''T LET THEM ENTER!" the Gods shouted while demons jumped down from the spaceships, but were soon shot down by urate shots from snipers.


    However, the sky wasn''t the only ce where demons tried to attack. The whole White Paradise was surrounded as demons rushed through the gates, over the falls and from underground.


    All the Chain Breakers and Angels hopped into the fight as they were trying to take down the endless army of demons.


    Mammon was fighting against Nyx. Their battle rocked the earth. Every once in a while, the sky turned from blue to dark as night appeared out of nowhere.


    The battle remained stalemate until now because of Mammon''s strange ability to spread chemicals out of his body. The chemicals were toxic and even inhaling them slightly would kill a person instantly.


    Nyx had to make sure the chemicals wouldn''t enter White Paradise, because even gods would die or get paralyzed.


    Some distance away, Belphegor and Eros'' fight was slightly calmer as they weren''t physical fighters.


    Eros shot his love arrows while Belphegor continued talking, and every time he spoke, the love arrows changed direction and missed his body.


    Belphegor''s ability wasmanding, and with his voice, he couldmand everyone to do whatever he wanted. Once, he managed to make Eros shoot love arrows towards Nyx, but they were blocked by the night goddess, and from that onward, he couldn''t take Eros to hismand.


    Eros found out that he could onlymand others if they heard him, so he blocked his ears, and so far, it had worked. But, Belphegor''s abilites were strange and might not be what they seem at first.

 Chapter 687 Silencing The World.

    "Swing, swing, swing, little bird~" Inside a private ne, Loki sang softly while kicking his legs back and forth. A few seats away, Arthur sat alone while gazing out of the window at the passing clouds. He joined Loki''s team to hunt down a Demon Lord called Garmagello.


    They had tracked him to a remote city, which had evacuated several hours ago, but there were still some stubborn ones who stayed behind.


    Garmagello and his army of demons nned to track the evacuated citizens, kill them, and move to another city. They would keep repeating it until someone came to stop them.


    Arthur looked with a side-nce at Loki and wondered, ''He is the owner of Fenrir? I heard tales about that crazy demonic wolf, who is strong enough to bring fear to Odin. I heard Loki is not strong, but tricky.


    ''I never would have expected him to be the owner of Fenrir.''


    "We have an eye on an enemy ship!" The pilot of the private ne shouted as a fleet of ships appeared in the distance. The demons hadn''t yet arrived at their first city!


    Arthur looked out of the window and said, "We shall not let them near any civilization! Let''s bring them down!"


    At the stomach of the ne, several missiles flew out of square-shaped cannons and crossed the distance between the ne and the demons.


    Boom!


    The first missile exploded once, grazing the back of the first demon ship. The strange ship, shaped like a generic U.F.O, started spiraling down to the ground.


    The st''s impact didn''t bother the rest of the ships.


    The cannons shot more missiles, but this time, the demon ships dodged them by making moves that could be ssified as gravity-defying.


    Swoosh!


    The door of the first demon ship opened. Then, a demon jumped out of the ship with his fist clenched and reeled it backward. He was Garmagello and was jumping straight at them with the intention of destroying the ne!


    "Light!" Arthur''s whole body shone brilliantly, and soon the entire ne was as bright as the sun!


    Everyone inside the ne wasn''t affected by the light, but all the demons were, especially Garmagello!


    "Argh!" Garmagello covered his eyes and flew straight through the ne''s right wing, separating it from the rest of the ne.


    The pilot lost control of the ne and it started spiraling out of control. However, before falling down, the ne crashed into the rest of the demon ships, causing all the ships to fall down!


    Crash!


    The ne crashed through a snow hill and dragged across the endless snond while crashing through trees, rocks, and hills.


    After the second wing was shattered, the ne painfully came to a stop with the pilot''s face bleeding heavily. Everyone inside seemed alright, except for the only mortal, the pilot.


    The demon ships managed tond safely on the ground, but couldn''t fly again as the ships were smoking badly.


    Garmagello crashed on the ground, causing an enormous crater around him.


    "Get out of the ship, quick!" Arthur shouted as he punched a hole in the side of the ne and jumped out. He was followed by the gods, who joined in this endeavor.


    Loki carefreely helped the pilot out of the ne andid him down on the snowy ground, around fifty meters away from the fallen ne.


    "Loki, what should we do?" Arthur asked their leader, while the rest of the gods waited for orders. They all had their own egos and prides, but they knew they needed to throw those away for survival.<sub> </sub>


    "Nothing." Loki said.


    "N-Nothing?" Arthur was stunned.


    "Yes, there is nothing we have to do. We are only here as zookeepers, so rest and wait for our turn to do our job." Loki patted off the snow from the fallen bark and sat down.


    Arthur and the rest of the gods looked surprised. The trickster god looked very unreliable right now.


    Arthur frowned and hoped that Loki knew what he was doing.


    Crunch, crunch. Then, they all tensed as the sound of snow getting stepped on reverberated in the distance.


    Garmagello and hundreds of demons appeared from the depths of the snow forest and surrounded them!


    Arthur and the rest of the gods went to their fighting stances while Loki sat with a snowball in his hand.


    "We, ept your surrender." Garmagello said as he approached them with towering momentum. Arthur and the gods felt powerless.


    "Kneel down, let the demons cuff you, and you all shall keep your lives." The Demon Lord stated.


    Arthur gritted his teeth and a small light particle appeared in his palm.


    "Arthur, don''t!" But then, Loki''s voice echoed in his ears. "He doesn''t like light. Don''t make him target you."


    ''Who?'' Arthur frowned and made the light disappear.


    "You are the leader?" Garmagello turned to thezy-looking god. "Your leader has already surrendered. Why bother fighting when I can kill every single one of you with one attack?"


    Loki scratched his hair and lowered his head to look at the ground. It looked like he had indeed given up and surrendered. The gods felt rather desperate and cursed Loki inside their minds.


    However, then Loki felt tremors beneath his feet. The tremors were moving closer and closer...


    "Heh." His lips curled upward. "Finally woken up, eh?"


    "Enough of this nonsense." Garmagello''s aura increased and it looked like a massive giant, who reached the skies, appeared behind him with aura powerful enough to suffocate everyone.


    Arthur and the gods fell to their knees while their shoulders felt immensely heavy. The tree bark beneath Loki cracked and forced him down on his buttocks.


    However, that attracted attention of certain creature...


    RUMBLE!


    The ground cracked and shook like it was struck by an enormous earthquake. The nearby mountains fell apart, trees were unrooted from the soil, and even the skies were shaking!


    "What is this?!" Garmagello had trouble staying standing as the entire world was shaking around him. It looked like the world was crashing down and he was at center of it!


    Atst, a single howl silenced the world.


    "Hoooowooooooooooooooooo!"

 Chapter 688 The Strongest Creature - Fenrir The God Slaying Wolf!

    A ck-furred wolf jumped through the open-cracked ground and immediately darkened the sky with its pitch-ck fur. The wolf was as big as the tallest mountain, as long as the most popted city, and powerful enough to make even gods feel fear.


    "What the hell is this beast?" Garmagello staggered backward as the wolf''s paw was only ten meters away, but it looked like it was right in front of him. Even when bending his head backward, he couldn''t see the head of the enormous wolf.


    This was the first time he had felt this small.


    Arthur and the gods felt stunned and couldn''tprehend the wolf''s enormous height.


    "We should leave." Loki slowly backed off from the enormous wolf. "Right now, unless you want to die."


    "What about the demons?" Arthur asked as he slowly backed off from the wolf.


    "This big boy loves the taste of demons." Loki said with a twitch of his lip. "That''s how he''s been "programmed" since his birth."


    ''Programmer?'' Arthur looked at him strangely and quickly followed Loki with the gods in tow. They left without being noticed by demons.


    They left through a valley and gathered at the foot of a mountain, which was still small enough to hide the enormous wolf, whose head was above the clouds.


    "What did you mean by programming?" Arthur asked while they were hiding behind the mountain.


    "Fenrir, has been programmed to fight demons." Loki said. "He was born as the result of an experiment,menced by the primordial gods. They were desperate to find a way to ensure that demons wouldn''t win. So, they experimented with different mutated creatures who were tainted by the Spawn Dimension.


    "There was only one sessful experiment and that was ck Wolf, Fenrir."


    Loki sighed as he remembered the small pup Fenrir, who was actually his pet, but was taken away by Odin for that experiment.


    "They "programmed" his mind to be only solely focused on destroying demons, no matter the cost. A year before White Online was released, they sent Fenrir here."


    "Wait... you mean Fenrir has been here for several years and left unnoticed?!" Arthur was stunned because there was no way someone like Fenrir could stay unnoticed for even a day!


    "Yes, but underground." Loki pointed at the ground. "The reason why I was sent here is because I am the only one who can control Fenrir. The Gods say that it was because I had a connection with him before he became... a creature of destruction."


    "How strong... Fenrir is actually?" Arthur asked and felt cold sweat drenching his back.


    "Strong... is not a word that can be used on him. He is beyond strong." Loki looked at the dark sky. "He is "Strongest Creature" and by a wide margin. Even the World Destroying Dragon, Drakelion, is only a mere dust in front of him."


    Arthur and the other gods gulped. They were only few kilometers away from Fenrir and debated whether that distance was big enough...


    ...


    Garmagello flinched under the enormous pressure. He hadn''t ever felt this kind of pressure before, not even from Demon Kings who were like gods to him.


    "God damn it, he is just a fucking dog!" He screeched and stretched his hand towards Fenrir''s ck-furred body. "Pull!"


    Garmagello''s ability, Gravity, allows him to pull and push things away from him.


    The gravity pull grabbed Fenrir''s fur, like an invisible hand, and started yanking the massive wolf towards the ground!


    Atst, Fenrir''s massive pupil above the clouds turned towards the ground as its enormous body was falling to the side.<sub> </sub>


    "Grr..." A single growl brought goosebumps to everyone''s skin. Fenrir stabilized itself by cing the paw deeper into the ground, which caused a shockwave that forced the demons off their feet.


    Even Garmagello had difficulty staying standing.


    Fenrir wed the ground, causing kilometer long crevices in the middle of the snow valley. The snow blew as the strong wind breezes assaulted thend.


    Fenrir slowly opened its mouth, revealing two massive fangs. Then... a loud roar escaped its mouth.


    "RAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!"


    CRACK!


    The ground cracked and a massive kilometer-wide crater appeared because of the single roar.


    The demon army was crushed like pancakes¡ªtheir crimson blood fading away by the wind.


    Garmagello coughed up blood as he crashed to the ground while feeling like the entire universe was crashing onto him.


    ''This is ridiculous!'' He cried out while coughing blood constantly.


    Fenrir slowly raised its enormous two-kilometer-wide paw and smashed it down at Garmagello.


    CRACK!


    The ground exploded as the paw struck the ground¡ªright where Garmagello was.


    Fenrir added more weight to its palm and stood still. However, then its paw was slowly being lifted by invisible power!


    "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Garmagello screamed while he looked haggard with his entire body stained in crimson blood. He was using his gravity push to its limit and managed to lift Fenrir''s paw enough to escape!


    He quickly jumped out of the way before the paw fell back to the ground.


    As the paw fell back to the ground, the ground exploded and sent a powerful enough shockwave to send Garmagello flying away.


    ''This is ridiculous! I need to inform the Demon Kings, so we can work together to y this beast!'' He thought anxiously before crashing back to the ground. He had never suffered this much damage before.


    When he arrived in the World of White with his half-avatar, he thought killing all the gods would be a piece of cake since he had already put up a good fight with only his weak half-avatar. But they proved to be more difficult to kill, and now some giant creature appeared, who was perhaps the strongest creature he''d ever seen!


    Garmagello climbed painfully back to his feet and decided to escape. However, then he felt like he was being stared by god.


    Fenrir''s enormous head descended from the sky as it bended its back. Its enormous vertical pupil looked straight at Garmagello. The eye alone was bigger than some ordinary mountain!


    "T-This..." Garmagello gulped and heard Fenrir growling. As the enormous beast exhaled, the wind sent Garmagello crashing through a mountain.


    Then, Fenrir again opened its mouth and an enormous blue light appeared at the depths of its throat...


    Fenrir was about to unleash its attack.

 Chapter 689 Fallen Lord.

    The blue light engulfed the sky andnd.


    Everyone knew that Fenrir was about to unleash his attack.


    "Fenrir, no!" Then, Loki''s voice echoed from several kilometers away. Arthur and the rest of the gods looked baffled at the trickster god.


    Loki looked stern when he spoke to the enormous wolf, like he was talking to his pet.


    To everyone''s surprise, the blue light slowly vanished as Fenrir stopped its attack. The pressure also vanished and the atmosphere turned surprisingly calm.


    However, Garmagello was far from calm. He knew that if the massive mutt fired its attack, he would have died a thousand times over. Hell, maybe even the whole of the Four Seasons, and everyone there would have died!


    ''All that power held by a fucking hound.'' Garmagello trembled in his boots. ''Are they fucking crazy to let someone like this stay here? Aren''t they afraid that this mutt will one day wake up grumpily and kill everyone?


    ''Why are they risking it all? Because of us?''


    Garmagello was indeed baffled at their enemies'' crazy strategy. He immediately knew that Fenrir might be their final trump card, and it surprised him that they used it to get rid of him.


    ''Right, that voice...'' Garmagello heard a voice and for some reason, that person could control the massive mutt. ''There is someone who can control this beast?''


    That gave him an idea, a very devious idea.


    ''What if, I kidnap that person, let King Belphegor and King Asmodeus do their mind control things, and make him loyal to us. We would get another god on our side and also this ck-furred creature!''


    Garmagello''s breath slightly quickened because this was a chance for him to rise in the ranks. He was tired of being Demon Lord of the Seventh Heaven since he believed his strength to be in the top three. However, his achievements wereckluster at best, and he had never defeated someone truly strong.


    The Demon Kings told him to send his avatar to test the gods because they believed he was the "weakest Lord" and it would be a good time to test how far their strength reaches against their weakest member. That insulted Garmagello, and he tried to prove himself by defeating the gods with only his avatar, but it proved to be futile.


    That didn''t help to make him look better, and because of that loss, his status as Demon Lord of Seventh Heaven was almost cemented to stay forever.


    But, this was a chance to prove his worth!


    This might change the tide of the war and ensure their victory!


    Garmagello''s lips curved into a smile. But then, arge shadow engulfed him and the area around him. Then,rge teeth surrounded him, and then, everything turned dark.


    Garmagello''s vision continued spinning around as he felt like he was in a tunnel. He was constantly falling down until hended in a pool of immensely hot water. It smelled terrible and there were chunks of ground melting in the water.


    ''What the hell happened?'' He anxiously looked around and saw bloody, slimy walls. He realized where he was. He was inside Fenrir''s stomach!


    He stopped concentrating on the massive creature for a moment, and Fenrir surprisingly took advantage of it and swallowed him!


    Garmagello felt angered and humiliated. He rose from the scorching hot water and decided to destroy Fenrir from inside!


    "Pull and Push, Gravity Destroyer!" Garmagello clenched both fists, mmed them against each other and pushed his ability to its limit. Both Pull and Push abilities were activated and the gravity started getting stretched.


    The stomach walls were being pulled and pushed at the same time. That caused a great havoc in Fenrir''s flesh.


    "Howooooooooooo!" Fenrir howled loudly towards the sky and dark clouds started gathering above.


    Then, the blue light reappeared, but this time, the light started moving down to its stomach instead!<sub> </sub>


    The blue light engulfed every corner of Fenrir''s body until finally arriving at the stomach. Garmagello was frightened and couldn''t speak another word as the blue light burned him to ashes.


    Fenrir''s mouth and eyes shone in brilliant bluish light, almost looking like a massive shlight. Itsted for several minutes, until the light disappeared and the dark clouds disappeared.


    "Howoooooooooooo!" Fenrir let out another deafening howl, and this time it was a howl of victory.


    Loki, Arthur, and the rest watched as Fenrir stopped howling and returned to the underground. The ground trembled like an earthquake hit them until the ck-furred dog was deep enough.


    Arthur and the gods still couldn''t believe it. One of the crazy strong Demon Lords had died just like that, but Loki wasn''t that impressed. He expected this to happen.


    "Let''s go."


    "Where?" Arthur asked as Loki started walking away.


    "To Demon Lord hunting." Loki said with his hands tugged in his pockets. "We need to finish off at least three before Kings find out. So, keep up."


    ...


    Lucifer sat alone in his room, deep in a thinking tank. Demon ships continued flying past the window, towards Four Seasons, as they were called for reinforcements.


    Most of the demon army had already been mobilized to White Paradise and it was seen clearly from above. A sea of demons and their enemies was everywhere, in both White Paradise and outside.


    Fights were happening everywhere.


    The Demon Kings were also busy in their own respects. Lucifer didn''t seem to care what was happening outside this room; Belphegor was fighting against Eros; Mammon against Nyx; Beelzebub was overseeing the army from outside the Four Seasons.


    Satan was dead.


    Leviathan had arrived in White Paradise and was fighting Uranus.


    Asmodeus'' current location was unknown.


    Lucifer slowly opened his eyes and then the door swung open, revealing a haggard-looking Asmodeus.


    "Lucifer, I have something dire to te--"


    Lucifer raised his hand, stopping him from saying anything else. "I already know."


    "Eh?" Asmodeus was baffled.


    "You fought against the person who resurrected the World of White, and he must have also met Satan in the Four Seasons, right?"


    "H-how did you..."


    "It''s not that hard after I thought more." Lucifer sat cross-legged, like an ancient master. "Satan must be dead. That person is also incredibly strong, and you happened to escape with luck."


    Asmodeus wanted to refute it, but couldn''t open his mouth.

 Chapter 690 The Army Had Assembled.

    "You can leave now." Lucifer waved his hand. "Nothing you say will make a difference."


    Asmodeus gritted his teeth and left, while increasing the weight of his steps.


    Lucifer waited till the door was shut and immediately rose to his feet and stepped towards the window.


    "At this rate, we will lose. One of us is already dead, and Erebus turned out to be useless. The current possibility of victory is 45%, maybe 30% considering that they might have not shown their full power yet. I have to make that 100% instead, but how..."


    Lucifer looked to the vast sea of stars and had an idea. "Yeah... The gods definitely have enemies, who likes to see the world burn. I only have to find them, and force them to help us."


    ...


    "Ugh..." Isaac crumbled as a sharp headache woke him up. He squinted his eyes and looked around the dark bedroom in confusion. Soon, he remembered where he was, and the headache slowly vanished.


    "Oh, you awake?" Lock looked away from theptop, which he had tried to turn on for the past three hours to no avail. He felt like the new technology he had found was cursed.


    Isaac looked over at the handsome man and scratched his hair. "Yeah, thank you."


    Lock nodded and asked, "May I know why you came here?"


    "I don''t know. My mind was in quite a shambles, you see." Isaac rose to his feet and felt much better than before. All his pain had disappeared.


    "You must have some reason to be here, right?" Lock asked.


    Isaac shrugged his shoulders and walked over to the balcony. He saw the Stronglord Army training tirelessly.


    Lock walked to him and leaned against the railing. "Shouldn''t you be fighting in that war?"


    "Shouldn''t you?" Isaac asked back.


    "Heh." Lock chuckled. "Yes, Apollo summoned me there."


    "Apollo... why didn''t you go there?" Isaac remembered the statue in the Stronglord Royal Pce and thought it was indeed Apollo''s statue.


    "I don''t want my men to die." Lock said with a heavy expression. "It is a battle between gods and it is not a ce where mortals can do anything."


    "Not true." Isaac said. "Mortals happen to be in a key position to win this war. The demons are dangerous because there are so many of them. Is it more dangerous to have millions of demons roaming around or seven powerful demons?"


    "That''s a difficult question." Lock chuckled. "Millions of weaker demons are still above human-level strength, while those seven powerful demons are above gods."


    "Yes, humans can''t fight against even ordinary demons, let alone those powerful demons. So, if they can''t win anyway, wouldn''t it be better to have only seven?"


    "That does make sense in a very disturbing way." Lock sighed and shook his head. "I am ready to go to war. I don''t mind, but each man here has a family who counts on their protection."


    "Did you ask them?" Isaac turned to Lock. "Let them decide. Do you think they are training till nightfall to stay protected behind walls? No, they desire battle and victory."


    Lock turned thoughtful and looked at the shouting soldiers, who were training with each other to be stronger and better versions of themselves.<sub> </sub>


    "Fine, wait a second." He turned around, left the balcony and the room.


    Isaac leaned against the railing and watched as Lock entered the backyard and all the soldiers suddenly started saluting.


    Lock gathered everyone and began his speech, which made everyone''s heart pump in excitement. The soldiers listened closely and all of them had made their decision days ago since they were evacuated from World of White.


    They all knew there was a big battleing up and were ready for it.


    They drew their weapons, pointed them at the darkening sky, and shouted in unison. "Of course!"


    Lock watched the scene emotionally and told everyone to prepare for departure. He then returned to the vi, went to the armory where his golden armor was, put it on, and returned to the bedroom looking like a valiant hero.


    "I see they made their decision?" Isaac turned around with a small smile.


    Lock held the hilt of his sword and nodded. "Yes, dare you join us in the final battle?"


    "Sure, why not." Isaac grinned.


    "The armory is in basement, if you are in need of an armor."


    "No need." Isaac shook his head and left the balcony with his muscles bulging. "I am in no need of mortal equipment."


    Lock smirked and then heard hurried footstepsing from the hallway. A beautiful woman with a haggard-looking expression appeared with a distressed look. "Lock, what do you mean you are going to battle?! You said you would stay here! Who will then protect us? What if those demonse here!"


    She was the Empress of the Stronglord Empire.


    Lock tightened the straps of his armor and said, "I will leave behind a group of a hundred soldiers to make sure all of you stay safe."


    "Only a hundred?!" The Empress screamed. "There is already a whole army on the battlefield; can''t you leave half at least?!"


    "Every man counts!" Lock shouted and waved his hand. "Leave, I will leave at dawn with my men and we will either return in coffins or as victors.


    The Empress gritted her teeth and stomped away from the room.


    Isaac then reappeared in the room. Once she appeared, he left with the Explorer of Life to stay hidden.


    Lock finished strapping his armor tightly and said, "She is from a political marriage and is a troublesome individual, but I am also doing this to protect her."


    "Of course." Isaac leaned against the wall and asked, "There are two options. Do you want me to teleport everyone to the battlefield, or do we go in old fashion, with a ship across the ocean."


    "Hah, the option is clear." Lock rubbed his neck. "I like to take a ship if you don''t mind. I want to see the ocean once before I die."


    "Understandable." Isaac said and looked out of the window to dark sky. "Its finally time for me to enter battlefield... hmm."

 Chapter 691 Isaac And Ceto.

    A fleet of ships cut through waves after waves of water, carrying the strong Stronglord army.


    The water sshed against the hull of the ship while the soldiers were cleaning their weapons, training, and chatting. They had left Sprinnd hours ago, and it would take around one day to reach cold Wintend.


    Isaac leaned against the railing while a gentle breeze brushed past him. He watched as fishes swam past the ship''s hull, almost as if they were running from someone.


    The water had been more turbulent than ever before. There were even instances when ships could have capsized. But Lock managed to push the ship through the enormous waves and keep destroying them before anyone else got hurt.


    Isaac understood that there was a fight somewhere. Well, not near, but in this part of the ocean, where there might have been an earth-shattering fight that made the ocean restless.


    ''Primordial God and Demon King must have fought here.'' He thought, but didn''t look worried since he felt like the battle had already ended.


    He wondered how crazy it would have been half a day ago if they were here with ships. At that moment, he definitely should have helped keep the ships safe, since back then the waves could be the size of a skyscraper.


    "The aquatic life seem to be restless." Lock''s voice echoed beside him as the golden-armored man put his hands on the railing.


    "Indeed." Isaac even saw sharks, whales, and dolphins swimming away in a hurry. "How is the ocean? Is it to your liking."


    "It''s... not what I imagined." Lock said with a wry smile. As he finished speaking, anotherrge wave sshed against the ship''s hull, pushing it slightly to the side. Lock''s knees buckled, and he had to take a harder grip on the railing to keep on standing.


    The soldiers were also in danger of falling, and then water sshed over the railing and drenched the deck--the deck became much slipperier.


    In contrast, Isaac stood with his hands tugged into his pocket, like a valiant hero facing a dragon. The wind blew around him, fluttering his beautiful white hair around, and the water droplets flew around him, but not even onended on his clothes.


    Lock once again had to admit that Isaac wasn''t an ordinary human. His strange appearance made him feel like there was something mystifying about him.


    Isaac''s body then slightly tensed as he felt someone approaching them with blinding speed.


    The water started raging and the waves suddenly turned massive with size of three-story building. They cocooned around the ships, trapping them inside.


    The soldiers were frightened and wondered what the hell was with the ocean. They expected the beautiful oceans to be calm and rxing ces, but this was a proper nightmare!


    Lock was also looking very serious.


    "Who are you... and why are you here?" a voice rang inside the water cocoons. Outside the water domes, an ordinary-looking woman was hovering above the surface. She was quite tall with a very long, flowing blue dress with one white-colored strap going over her exposed shoulder.


    She was the Primordial Goddess of the Sea, Ceto.


    She was keeping an eye on the oceans to keep demons under control, but then she felt multiple life signals and came to check them out. In her surprise, they looked like humans, but she knew that some demons have the ability to change their forms.


    "What is this voice?" Lock looked around and thought he was hearing things.<sub> </sub>


    "Let us pass." A voice rang inside the water cocoon. Isaac crossed his arms and let out a small portion of his aura to give a hint of his real power.


    Ceto''s senses tingled with extreme danger, and it was even above Leviathan''s danger!


    ''Demon King?! Here?!'' Ceto looked severe. ''Higher-ranked than Leviathan? Wait, no... this aura, doesn''t have the same color as crimson or ck; instead, it''s white.''


    ''He is human?! Impossible... this must be demon trick... no, I can''t be sure. I have to make sure!''


    Ceto''s dress pped behind her as she entered the water cocoon and gentlynded on the deck.


    The nearby soldiers drew their weapons and looked warily at the strange woman.


    Ceto flicked her wrist, then a pair of water whipsshed through the air and pped the weapons away. The soldiers looked shocked as they were suddenly unarmed. However, they immediately drew their daggers, but they didn''t look dangerous at all anymore.


    Lock debated whether he should try his luck, but he knew the limit of his strength and the unknown woman''s power. At best, he could force her off the ship but not win.


    Ceto ignored them all and walked over to the white-haired man while only seeing his back. Isaac was still leaning against the railing, not bothering to turn around.


    "Who are you?" Ceto asked while keeping his senses at full alert. "Demon?"


    "I am no demon." Isaac said with a chuckle. "I am human."


    "Impossible!" Ceto grimaced. "You think I believe that? Your power is at its peak!"


    "I think I can be called god." Isaac shrugged his shoulders. "But, I still think I am human. Just because I am slightly stronger than my peers, I can''t be one? That''s quite radical thinking."


    ''Slightly stronger?'' Ceto''s eyebrow twitched in annoyance. ''Even if all of humanity''s strength werebined, they wouldn''t be able to even scratch you!''


    "Can you remove these cocoons? We are on a tight schedule."


    "I can''t do that. You appeared out of nowhere and can be a danger to humanity. If you don''t prove your identity as a human, I will have to fight you even if that means I will die."


    "I can respect that." Isaac turned around and revealed his immensely handsome face to Ceto. "I am an Advocate of Life, Gaia''s legacy carrier."


    To prove it, Isaac raised his hand and shot a green beam from his palm. The green beam tore through the water cocoon, destroying it in pieces. The water fell down to the deck, drenching every soldier.


    Ceto''s eyes rippled in shock and... thrill. They had ally of this caliber and they weren''t even aware of it?!


    She always thought Fenrir was their greatest asset and their best chance in victory, but now another person of equal level to Primordial Gods... no, maybe even stronger than Primordial Gods had appeared and he is on their side!

 Chapter 692 Legion Of Evil.

    "My name is Isaac Whitelock." Isaac sat on the railing while not looking the slightest bit scared to fall into the water. "Gaia probably hadn''t mentioned me."


    "Yes, she hadn''t..." Ceto waved her hand and removed the cocoons. "I believe you, and I assume you are going to White Paradise... with these guys?" She looked around in confusion, wondering who they were.


    "Yes." Isaac nodded. "They are a special army from Stronglord. Each soldier is above level 500 and is a great asset to have. Then, this man here is Lock Stronglord, Emperor of the Stronglord Empire, and I can assure you that he is quite powerful."


    The soldiers straightened their backs to show their worth and discipliness.


    Lock softly nodded to Ceto, still wondering who she was.


    "Over level 500..." Ceto drew a breath and started trembling in excitement. Most of their soldiers were around level 200-300, at best.


    She nced at Lock quickly and also realized his power, which was amazing for someone from the Summer Realm.


    ''The demons have no idea what is going to hit them...'' Ceto turned to Isaac and thought. ''I wonder where he came from. I thought someone like him should have been of the utmost importance among the primordial gods.


    "What is the situation in war?" Isaac asked.


    Ceto left her thoughts and said, "Dire. Three Demon Kings are attacking White Paradise, and this is only the beginning. The demon army is still beating our army since their average strength is higher. However, we nned to mobilize Spring and Autumn Realm''s armies soon."


    "Oh, I see." Isaac nodded and didn''t look distressed since he knew Luna and Alice were alright. He hadn''t stopped looking at their situation, even for a moment. He knew they were currently in Legacy Company''s headquarters, among several other Chain Breakers. They were having a debrief.


    "I can increase the speed of the ships if you want." Ceto said. "We could arrive onnd in an hour."


    Lock and the soldiers turned to Isaac. They let him make the choice since it seemed like the unknown woman only listened to him. They also didn''t miss the thing about him being the legacy carrier of the Mother of All Life, Gaia!


    If it were true, it would be an immensely shocking thing. They prayed to Gaia during Sunday schools, and she was one of the most worshipped goddesses.


    "Only three Demon Kings are attacking, correct?" Isaac asked, and Ceto nodded. "Then, there are three more Demon Kings left, so the war isn''t at an endgame. It would be mistake to reveal all of our cards."


    "Three left?" Ceto looked strangely at him. She obviously understood that Isaac knew a lot about demons. "Are you aware that there are seven Demon Kings?"


    "Oh, you don''t know yet?" Isaac looked at her and said, "Satan is dead."


    "What?!" Ceto''s eyes bulged. "How?! Was it done by primordial gods? Did they trap him or something and finish him off?"


    She hadn''t ever been this excited before. The Demon King of the Second Heaven was dead!


    "No, I killed him." Isaac said it casually and turned back to the water. "Let''s not use your abilities to move faster. I rather not want demons to find out about us until Lucifer makes his move."


    Ceto''s face went nk. Her mind almost worked like a machine and was currently having a hard time putting things together.


    "Y-You killed... one of the Demon Kings?"


    "Yes, I could have killed two Demon Kings, but s... ugh." Isaac shook his head, not wanting to talk about it.


    Ceto held her forehead with a stunned expression. She knew how hard it was to kill Demon King. She fought against Leviathan and only had an advantage because of her absolute control over the sea and water. Onnd, she would never be able to defeat Leviathan.<sub> </sub>


    Even if Satan were weak onnd, which he wasn''t, it would still be incredibly difficult to kill him.


    The man before her looked even more stunning, like a bright hope zing above humanity.


    Ceto''s fists clenched, and she cheered internally. ''We all thought we failed in grooming a powerful enough yer to help us in the final war. We were wrong. We seeded!''


    ...


    In the Summer Realm, inside city called Victorian.


    A beautiful Victorian-styled city stretched to the horizon as buildings with pitched roofs, balconies, and roof towers stood tall. The cemented streets filled the empty city, as this was another city that had been abandoned.


    However, then a crimson light descended from the sky andnded in the middle of the marketce.


    Lucifer raised his head after the crimson light faded away. He rose to his feet while the blood-red flowing robes fluttered around him.


    His feet started stepping down the sidewalks as he left the marketce and entered the dirt-stained streets, while the roads showed shapes made by carriage tire marks. There were fliers floating across the streets, making the city look like a ghost town.


    It was only a few days ago that this was a beautiful, bustling city with handsome gentlemen and beautifuldies walking together.


    Lucifer had an destination in mind as he turned left, walked straight for hundred meters, then turned left and entered through the open door of a three-story apartmentplex.


    He walked up the stairs, arrived on the third floor, and stopped behind a door with a scratched sign of the number "12" nailed on it.


    Lucifer was about to knock, but then the door swung open and he came face-to-face with Flintlock barrel.


    BANG!


    The bullet left the barrel, grazed past Lucifer''s hair, andnded on a small fly, which was carefreely standing on a wall.


    "I hate flies, and it had been keeping me awake the entire night..." The person said with a tired expression and eyebags underneath his dark eyes. There was a gold-rimmed monocle on his right eye, and he looked quite gentlemanly with his ck trenchcoat, white vest, and ck suit.


    Lucifer was still looking at the barrel of Flintlock without expression. "You know why I am here. I already sent you a message via mind."


    "Ah, I thought I was hearing things." The person chuckled and holstered the Flintlock pistol while bending his back for a bow. "Alright, I shall be in your "Legion of Evil" and... join your conquest."


    Lucifer nodded, took out a notepad, and flipped to the second page. There were dozens of names crossed, and they were people he managed to invite to his "Legion of Evil".


    He picked up his pen, crossed out "Jack The Ripper" and pocketed it.


    "Am I the first one?" Jack asked while scratching his cheek with the barrel of his Flintlock pistol.


    "Not exactly." Lucifer said and a portal opened behind him. It showed a room, with hundreds of shadowy figures seated around an enormous table. They were all the most hideous and most hated individuals in all of human history.


    It was the true "Legion of Evil" and it was Lucifer''s trump card!

 Chapter 693 The Drums Of The War.

    "Raaaaaaaah!" A demon screamed as he was thrown through a window by a white-winged angel. A swarm of demons and angels fought in the streets of White Paradise, making the scene very gory and messy.


    "Shit, shit, shit!" The demon rushed to his feet, but then a green arrow pierced through his skull and impaled him to the wall.


    "?!" The demon''s eyes swirled around like they were made of marbles. The poison seeped into his skull, made him lifeless, and soon killed him.


    A green-robed man stopped next to the corpse. Darth looked at him silently and turned to his worn-out bow with a silent expression. His hand trembled until he decided to drop the bow. The bow thudded on the ground.


    The circuits traveled across his skin, looking like purple worms slithering inside his flesh. He felt like he could destroy everything with a snap of his fingers. This was a power level beyond his understanding.


    Darth slowly clenched his fist, and the circuits gathered in his closed palm. Then, the purple color burst through the gaps in his fingers and engulfed the entire building. As Darth drew a breath, he clenched his fist tighter, and then the entire building exploded!


    The explosion sent a shockwave that rocked through thend and pushed the demons away while the angels flew out of the way. They all looked in surprise in Darth''s direction.


    Darth''s body trembled, and he let out a deafening howl and turned to look at the dark sky with the crimson moon slowly revealing itself. It was again the night of the Crimson Moon, and this was thest night of the Crimson Moon for this year.


    Then, Darth''s forehead split in half, and a purple-colored eye revealed itself from his forehead!


    He had now three eyes, just like Shiva!


    And, unlike Shiva, Darth didn''t know how to control the endless flow of power!


    "HAAAAAAAAAAAA!" A beam of purple light shot through his eye and flew out of the, then pierced through the Summend''s moon and made it explode!


    The Summend''s moon''s rocks were hurled towards the world like burning meteors. The second moon had been destroyed!


    The demons instantly felt their powers and desires lessening. They were anticipating the Crimson Moon, but now it has been destroyed. They couldn''t see two other moons from their current angle, so their power-up had been canceled by Darth!


    "Haah... haaah..." Darth suddenly fell to the ground with sweat pouring through his pores. The third eye slowly disappeared, and the flow of power calmed down significantly.


    Everyone near the destroyed building looked frightened, even angels. The scariest thing wasn''t the person with incredible power. Instead, those who couldn''t control that incredible power.


    However, unlike others who thought he couldn''t control his powers, Darth let out a tiny chuckle and muttered to himself, "This power isn''t meant to be controlled."


    ...


    "Sky Ruler!" Uranus''s eyes shed with lightning, and suddenly dark clouds surrounded the flying sea serpent, who flew without wings or any foothold. The creature simply stepped on the air like it was made of solid material.


    The dark clouds engulfed Leviathan, and silver lightning raged inside the clouds, threatening to kill everyone they touch.


    "Sky Lightning!" Uranus punched empty air, then a several kilometer long lightning bolt flew out of the clouds and pierced through Leviathan''s nigh-indestructible hide.<sub> </sub>


    "Kiiiiiiiiiiii!" Leviathan''s screech of pain shattered the ground and destroyed several eardrums in soldiers of both the demon and human armies.


    "Such a loud fe!" Uranus hurled across the sky andnded his punch on the nigh-indestructible blue hide. Leviathan''s body recoiled backward, and a small dent appeared in the hide.


    Leviathan''s mouth shone in brilliant light, and then a water beam with a height of several kilometers shrouded the entire sky. Uranus quickly teleported away, but once the war dropletsnded on any of the demons or human soldiers, they melted away like wax figures.


    Several screams echoed from the distant battlefield, where demons and humanity''s army fought.


    Uranus turned around and saw the bloody scene. He quickly turned back to Leviathan, since if he turned his back on an enemy of this caliber, he would die without knowing how.


    However, then a hand broke through his spine and torso. Uranus'' eyes shook as immense pain assaulted him. He turned around to look at his attacker and saw Beelzebub gazing at him coldly. He was sneak-attacked!


    "S-SKY RAGE!" Uranus screamed, and an enormous lightning bolt struck him and sent him flying straight down to the sky.


    The lightning bolt also hit Beelzebub, sending him flying backward.


    Uranus started flying again before crashing to the ground and painfully grunting as his wound was bleeding heavily. However, that wasn''t enough to kill him, but it would hinder his strength by a big margin. At his current state, he didn''t have hopes of fighting against Leviathan and winning.


    "Vanish."


    "?" Uranus'' eyes shook and he quickly stopped flying and crashed to the ground voluntarily. The air above him vanished before again appearing. From an empty air, Lucifer appeared through a ck portal.


    Uranus spat out the dirt and started again flying, but then Beelzebub appeared next to him with his incredible speed andnded a punch on his hip, shattering his ribs.


    "Cough!" Uranus coughed out golden blood and flew across White Paradise until crashing through Legacy Company''s headquarters. The entire skyscraper started shaking.


    "Aether!" Gaia saw the scene through monitors.


    "Yes, they are here." Aether said solemnly and closed the monitors. "Let''s go."


    Gaia nodded and followed behind Aether. In their wake, Shiva, Chaos, and Chronos followed. They left the Legacy Company''s building and hovered in the air while their enemies appeared on the horizon.


    Lucifer waved his hand and thousands of portals appeared in the ground, revealing the Demon Lords who had finished their hunting for humans, ordinary soldier demons, the rest of themanding demons, and Demon Generals. Then, atst, the Legion of Evil appeared, a few hundred strong.


    The entire force of the demon''s army had gathered in White Paradise, and the atmosphere was instantly cold, evil, and bloodlusty.


    Dadada, dadada, dadada!


    The drums of the wars echoed.

 Chapter 694 Isaac Whitelock.

    "Call everyone back." Aether said and looked at the streets of White Paradise, where gods, angels, and their armies had gathered amid demon corpses. They all looked exhausted after days of fighting.


    The mortals watched from below as millions of demons surrounded them like a swarm of sharks surrounding group of fishes.


    A normal-looking man looked at his trembling hands and thought that it was a miracle he had survived this far. He had hidden in deste alleyways and near the headquarters of the Legacy Company. However, now there was no safe ce. The demons would break down the walls, swarm the city, and kill them all.


    The same thought was shared by almost every mortal. Their hands trembled, their knees buckled, and their palms were sweating.


    The demons'' jeers and taunts reverberated across the air while drums echoed in the background. The final war was already here, and from this point on, each army would use all of its strength.


    Lucifer raised his arm, and it was as if the entire world turned silent. The demons, gods, angels, and mortals looked at the arm with varying expressions. "All the escape routes are now officially vanished. All thoughts of escape have now vanished. "Let''s end this once and for all."


    Snap...


    A single snap echoed in the air, and then the space around White Paradise was closed to the outside world. The frightened mortals, who thought about escaping, suddenly didn''t.


    "Nyx, don''t let him control the minds of our soldiers any more." Aether turned to Nyx, who nodded softly.


    Lucifer lowered his arm and let out a soft breath. "Ba-dump, onwards, the Conquerors of Universe."


    "ONWARDS" Demon Generals shouted and started running towards White Paradise, with millions of blood-red eyed demons screaming behind them while following behind them. The earth trembled as they marched, and the sound was louder than anyone could have ever anticipated.


    "Forward and don''t stop!" The God of War, Ares, stood at the front of humanity''s army and activated his ability that would make his soldiers'' blood pump with excitement. As he took his first step, his army took the same step, and the loud footsteps sted in the ears of the demons.


    The two armies soon started running. The demons entered through the gates. The army of humanity ran towards them without stopping. Then, around a hundred meters inside the city from the gate, the two armies shed, resulting in bloodshed.


    The armies rammed each other, and the sound of des shing and flesh getting smacked and shed reverberated across the city.


    The battle to decide the fate of humanity had started.


    ...


    "Ugh..." In Snowstar, a knocked-out man finally woke up from his long dream. Maxwell''s eyes fluttered open, and his eyes were weed to the sight of a destroyed city with ruins of fallen skyscrapers strewn across the streets.


    "Ouch..." He rubbed his aching back as he slowly sat down. But, the pain soon subsided like it was never there. Truly a strange scene.


    Maxwell rubbed his eyes and turned around to look the half-broken building. "Where am I?"


    He felt like there was a void inside his mind, forbidding him from remembering something truly important.


    Maxwell slowly rose to his feet and staggered out of the building. A cold winter wind blew across his hair, and he then realized the clothing he wore. Purple-colored robes of the Grand Priest.


    "Why... am I wearing these? I thought Arthur took it away." Maxwell murmured. He doesn''t even remember going back to White Online to get these robes to protect his family!


    He scratched his hair and started walking in the destroyed streets. It took him thirty minutes to arrive at the gates of his neighborhood, where he entered swiftly. He noticed all the buildings had been abandoned.<sub> </sub>


    Then he heaved a sigh after arriving at the gates of his home. However... there was only a destroyed piece ofnd left with only the foundations of his home left. The entire mansion was gone like it had exploded overnight.


    ''Isabe...'' his eyes shook as he ran through the gates in a hurry. He searched for any sign of his wife, but there wasn''t a sign of anyone being there. The ragged clothes, broken furniture, and shattered pictures made him think the worst.


    Maxwell turned to the horizon and was mesmerized. The neighborhood was situated at one of the highest spots in Snowstar. Because the mansion was now gone, he could see through the treeline towards the city and across the farawaynd, he saw a ck dome-like structure surrounding a ce.


    He didn''t know, but it was what Lucifer enclosed the White Paradise with.


    Maxwell clenched his fist and left through the gate and left behind the destroyed mansion. His footsteps echoed with lonely tempo as he slowly left the neighborhood and sometimeter, Snowstar.


    ...


    "Sir, we have arrived!" A soldier saluted at Lock Stronglord as the ship was docked to the shore.


    "Thank you; prepare for departure." Lock looked at the dark, starry sky. It took them an entire day to reach Wintend, but luckily the speed of their ships was much faster.


    "You felt that?" Isaac asked the goddess.


    "Yes, the war has started." Ceto said with a nod.


    Isaac hopped out of the ship andnded on the snowy ground. The soldiers were trembling in the cold weather. This was the first time they had been in the negative celsius range, and it was showing.


    "Whooo, cold." Lock exhaled, and cold breath left his lungs.


    "Can your soldiers manage it?" Isaac asked. The cold weather doesn''t fit for everyone, and it takes time to get used to it.


    "Yes, this is nothing." Lock shook his hands and smirked as he left the ship. The soldiers stopped trembling and clenched their fists tighter until their blood started flowing through their bodies quicker. It was an impossible thing to do, but they could do that after reaching beyond level 400 and gaining better mastery over their bodies.


    Ceto stepped down the ship with her long sleeves hiding her pale hands. She stopped beside Isaac and looked across the snow-coverednd. They all saw a ck dome in the distance, and it was filled with evil energy.


    "Let''s go." Isaac took a step forward with a silver sheen shining in his eyes. "We shouldn''t keep them waiting."


    "Aye!" The soldiers stepped forward and started dragging their heavy bodies through the snow.


    Without anyone having a clue, another army had entered the shores of Wintend. At first nce, the army wouldn''t threaten the enormously strong gxy-level creatures. However, they were led by a certain someone who could change the tide of the war with only his presence.


    Even Ceto walked behind him, showing who was themander of this army. Lock walked behind Ceto with a calm smile. The soldiers walked with heads raised and proudly. They were proud to enter such an important war and especially since they were currently being under the lead of someone very special.


    White Death, Advocate of Life and embodiment of death.


    Isaac Whitelock was about to enter the war.

 Chapter 695 Lokis Illusions.

    "What do you mean, search for that person... bastard." Asmodeus muttered to himself in a hateful tone. Lucifer ordered him to look for that person, who killed Satan and almost killed him. He was the only one who knew what he looked like.


    But this kind of task felt humiliating. He was usually the one who gave his subordinates these kinds of orders. Now, his status had been reduced from King to mere soldier.


    ''He can fucking teleport. It is impossible to find him.'' Asmodeus thought. Since he was assigned to the mere searcher role, he expected never to find that person. He wanted to be on the battlefield to end this war as soon as possible, then have some fun with the goddesses they captured.


    s... this frustrated him greatly.


    Asmodeus flipped over and flew on his back while looking at the starry sky. At that moment, he felt the appearance of several strong auras on the horizon. Their auras were the color gold, with one being white¡ªthere were gods and one human nearing his position.


    ''Hmm, who could they be?'' He flipped over and slowly flew towards the auras. However, after nearing the position, the ground suddenly shattered and an enormous mouth with sharp, deadly teeth emerged from underground. The deadly teeth belonged to a massive ck-furred wolf!


    "What the¡ª" Asmodeus'' expression turned grave, and he quickly flew out of the way of the massive wolf. After the creature had left the underground, the Demon King was bbergasted at how big it was!


    Fenrir let out a deafening howl, and the wind gushed out of his mouth and cleared all the clouds from the sky.


    "What a massive creature." Asmodeus flicked his wrist, and a ck whip appeared in his hand. He swung it back and was about tosh it forward. But then, hundreds of illusionary figures appeared around him. They all looked just like him!


    "Oh, how handsome..." Asmodeus murmured as he looked at his illusions. However, then the illusions morphed into hundreds of green-shafted spears. The spears stabbed through the air and impaled Asmodeus'' well-toned body.


    "Ah!" The Demon King didn''t have time to react and crashed straight to the ground, the green-shafted spears skewering through him and nailing him to the snowy ground.


    Some distance away, Loki finished his attack and tugged his hands to his pockets as he left the forest and slowly walked towards fallen Asmodeus. Arthur and the rest followed while Fenrir''s ck shadow loomed over them.


    Fenrir was looking further away, towards the ck dome with his vertical pupils.


    "Hah!" Asmodeus flexed his muscles and forced the spears out of his flesh. His wounds healed instantly. At the spaceship, he filled his stomach with all sorts of food.


    He flipped over to stand and saw the gods walking toward him. His eye twitched since the ck furred creature should take all his attention and dealing with gods is an unnecessary bother. In his opinion, Fenrir was the only threat.


    "Piss off or die." Asmodeus flexed his muscles and increaseed the pressure he emitted. The weaker gods and Arthur instantly fell to their knees, like mortals showing their undying loyalty to king.


    However, Loki didn''t seem fazed and even took a step forward.<sub> </sub>


    "Hoh." Asmodeus smirked, and a ck whip appeared in his palm. He swung it behind him, then around him, until finallyshing it down with godly speed. The whip was unnoticeable even, and the only way to know there was a whip was the sound of wind getting teared.


    The whip went through Loki''s body, separating him in half. However, then the sliced body vanished like a mist. Loki was never there in person.


    "?" Asmodeus was sincerely surprised since he had examined Loki''s aura entirely. He was one hundred percent certain that it should have been a real person and not an illusion.


    But then he remembered that the illusions who looked like him also had auras simr to him. His skin had goosebumps when he thought how ridiculous the power was. He was a gxy-level figure and could destroy any. Still, he couldn''t see through Loki''s illusions!


    Swoosh!


    Then, to his shock, the stars in the sky suddenly were turned off, as if they were lightbulbs that could be shut down with a flick of a lightswitch. After that, the dark sky was covered with millions of ming rocks, which brightened the entire sky with crimson light.


    Fenrir looked above the ming rocks and wagged its tail. It was like they were toys, which looked interesting. As it tried to grab them with its enormous palm, the ming rocks went straight through and continued flying towards Asmodeus.


    Fenrir let out a saddened whimper.


    "They are illusions again." Asmodeus spread his arms wide and mocked as he weed the illusions with open arms. However, then the rocks struck him and buried him deep in the ground. His skin started burning, with bruises appearing on every part of his body.


    ''What the hell?!'' Asmodeus painfully whimpered in pain as the rest of the ming rocks slowly vanished, leaving him alone in the ground¡ªbattered and bruised.


    "Why... they were illusions... what the heck." All the wounds again disappeared, and Asmodeus rose back to his feet. His expression didn''t look kind, and his face muscles twitched and morphed till he looked unrecognizable, like a monster.


    His grip on the whip tightened, and he thenshed through the air. Theshshed through the air, cracked space, and the surrounding earth exploded.


    The mountains fell apart, trees vanished as if they were burned to ashes, and it even looked like the sky was falling after Asmodeus'' rageful strike.


    "Fuck this world. I am done being humiliated!" Asmodeus raised his whip in rage while surrounded by nknd. The five-kilometer area around him had vanished off the face of the.


    The gods and Arthur were nowhere to be seen. Fenrir was somehow floating above the nk expanse of space.


    Asmodeus gritted his teeth andshed the whip down with an enormously powerful strike. As the whip neared the ground, it looked like the entire was twisting and warping. He nned to slice through the core of the and kill everyone in Four Seasons!

 Chapter 696 Asmodeus Angel Form.

    "Stop him." Loki''s voice traveled through empty space and entered Fenrir''s ears. He was nowhere to be seen, but his voice was clear like it came right next to the ck-furred wolf.


    Fenrir''s eyes shed. Then, with one jump, its enormous teeth were only meters away from swallowing Asmodeus and the rest of the ground.


    Asmodeus halted his attack and quickly flew out of the way. Fenrir swallowed the rest of thend and quickly followed after the demon king, with red glowing from its eyes.


    Asmodeus flicked his wrist, and the whipshed through Fenrir''s fur but couldn''t prate its indestructible skin.


    However, the Demon King didn''t care, and his eyes suddenly glowed pink. "y dead."


    Fenrir''s body suddenly froze, and themand echoed in the depths of its mind. Its mind told the wolf to listen to themand. However, its instincts didn''t. Themand was slowly subdued by its uncontroble, raging mind.


    Asmodeus'' face sweated buckets as he was trying desperately to control the massive beast. His ability was seducing others, which would help him control his opponents. It was different from Belphegor''s in several ways. After seducing someone, he would be able topletely erase their mind and make them his loyal ves.


    He could seduce everyone; it didn''t matter if Fenrir was a wolf and a male. They still wouldn''t be able to resist his abilities. However, he soon realized that Fenrir''s mind was too strong to be controlled!


    "Howoooooo!" Fenrir''s howl pushed Asmodeus away, and his ability was thus canceled. The problem with his ability was that if he moved, the mind control would vanish if he hadn''t yetpletely taken them under his control.


    Fenrir''s figure zoomed through the sky, and itsrge ws shredded through the air, barely missing Asmodeus.


    Asmodeus dodged the ws and continuedshing Fenrir''s body. However, it didn''t do anything except leave some scars.


    Then, Fenrir''s eyes glowed mysteriously, and a beam left its eyes beforepletely disintegrating Asmodeus!


    After the beam disappeared, the ashes of Asmodeus floated in the sky like dead flowers. Fenrir let out a soft whimper and was about to return to the underground. However, then the ashes connected, and slowly a humanoid figure appeared from the bright light.


    In the sky, a beautiful white cocoon appeared, and from there, Asmodeus reappeared looking entirely different. His face was still inhumanly beautiful, but even more delicate and slender than before, looking even more like a girl than before.


    His two short, sharp horns were the color of white light, matching his gorgeous white robes. His long ck hair cascaded down his back. He looked like a celestial figure.


    Asmodeus then opened his beautiful golden eyes, mesmerizing everyone who saw them. He slowly straightened his back and hovered above Fenrir with a towering presence.


    His demonic vibe had changed, and he looked like a beautiful angel.


    His ck whip was also disintegrating, but then a white-colored mace with grayish spikes appeared in his left hand.


    Asmodeus drew a long breath and looked towards Fenrir with delicate look. He then did a simple step, appered behind Fenrir and hammered his mace down at its massive skull. The mace made an dent at its scalp and Fenrir was suddenly thrown towards the nk expanse of space.


    Fenrir whimpered in pain. The mace strike actually hurt it!


    Swoosh.


    But then, thousands of illusions appeared around Asmodeus. Again, they looked just like him.


    However, Asmodeus this time didn''t stay behind to look at his dopperg?¡èngers. Instead, he smashed through the illusions and flew towards Fenrir with his white robes fluttering around him. He looked like a celestial being who was descending from heaven.<sub> </sub>


    Loki, dozens of kilometers away with Arthur and the rest of the gods, looked at the new Demon King''s form with baffled looks. He didn''t look like a demon anymore.


    "What the hell happened to him?"


    "I am guessing this was his real form." Loki said. "For some reason, he doesn''t like to reveal it. Maybe it''s undemon-like."


    "Can Fenrir handle him?" Arthur asked.


    "Of course." Loki turned toward the distance, where a ck dome awaited. "We can''t help Fenrir. But we can help on the battlefield. Lets go."


    Arthur nodded and followed Loki with the rest of the gods while an earth-shattering battle was happening behind them.


    Fenrir''s beam shredded through the air and looked like a nuclear attack from afar.


    Asmodeus continued weaving through the beams and then flew past Fenrir''s enormous figure before smashing his mace towards therge body. Fenrir''s weakness was its size. It couldn''t defend every ce.


    However, its skin was unprable.


    The mace strikes could barely make a dent and a few scars, but that''s it.


    Asmodeus circled in the sky before ramming mace-first into Fenrir''s face. He tried to attack the wolf''s eye, but Fenrir expected it and closed both its eyes. Fenrir might not seem sentient, but the gods had built Fenrir as a perfect fighting machine.


    "HOWOOOOOOOOO!" Fenrir released another deafening howl, which shattered the mountains dozens of kilometers away. Even the ck dome shook as the howl struck it. However, no one in White Paradise heard it or felt it since they were part of the dome realm, which wasn''t connected with anything that was happening in the Four Seasons.


    Asmodeus took the howl head-first and was sent flying through the air. He couldn''t stop and even flew past the ck dome. He thought he flew forever, but soon his flying stopped as Fenrir''s ck paw smacked him out of the sky.


    Shockingly, Asmodeus was sent flying across the entire world!


    Asmodeus crashed to the ground and spat out crimson blood.


    Then, Fenrir descended from the ground and fell straight on top of Asmodeus with its entire body weight. A crater appeared around them, and the ground started slowly shattering.


    But then, a bright white light burst through the underground and hurled Fenrir''srge body away. Asmodeus was shining in brilliant white light, and with a yell, he jumped to his feet and started smacking his mace across Fenrir''s face.


    The mace strikes started hurting the enormous wolf, with even blood sttering!


    At hundred kilometer away, a sole white-haired man was standing on top of a hill while soldiers from Stronglord was camping only meters away from him.


    Isaac watched as the battle ensuded until sighing. "Ceto, should we go to Demon King hunting?"


    "Eh?" Ceto separated her lips from a bottle of water and looked at Isaac with baffled look.

 Chapter 697 Black.

    Smack, smack, smack!


    Aether shed across the sky with blinding speed as he was chasing after Beelzebub. The sky shed with blinding light as one winged creature was quickly moving out of the way of the attacks.


    Swoosh!


    Then, a beautiful golden light appeared before Beelzebub, forcing him to stop in his tracks. From a golden light, Aether appeared with his arms d in golden light.


    A golden light exploded out of his arms, and moved with lightspeed towards Beelzebub. The winged demon''s transparent wings pped, and he quickly moved out of the way, then appeared behind Aether.


    Swoosh!


    Beelzebub''s arm tore through the golden light as Aether''s body disappeared into light and soon appeared right above the demon. His left leg glowed in golden light, and then he kicked the empty air as Beelzebub vanished into nothingness, leaving behind only a wind breeze.


    ''He is too fast.'' Aether again disappeared into a golden sh and chased after Beelzebub. Their speed was blinding. There was no one who could keep track of them, not even Lycanhowl, who was terrorizing the army below with his insane speed.


    "Die, die, die!" Lycanhowl ripped through the bodies of unassuming soldiers with his entire body d in blood. His fingers shed through the throats, and his body ran through the sea of people, leaving behind mutted corpses.


    "Wohohoohoho!" Lycanhowl jumped with excitement as he arrived at Legacy Company''s headquarters. His eyes glowed with a dangerous hue, but then a fistnded on his cheek, sending him flying through a wall.


    A silver lightning appeared in front of the tall skyscraper, revealing Xerxus wearing his tracksuit. Then, behind him, appeared a bolt of golden lightning belonging to Noelle. They shared nces before turning to face the fallen Lycanhowl.


    "Hmm, the speed." Lycanhowl sat up and looked at the two speedsters with a silly grin. "Mediocre."


    With a sh of speed, Lycanhowl appeared before Xerxus and pushed him through the several rows of buildings.


    Xerxus coughed up blood and soon crashed into a rock wall with Lycanhowl''s palms digging into his skin. He was running nonstop while pushing Xerxus through the wall!


    "Get off him!" Noelle appeared with a golden lightning trail following behind her. She smacked Lycanhowl, but he didn''t even flinch.


    "Two is better than one!" Lycanhowl grabbed Noelle by her hair and ran through the wall, dragging the two speedsters behind him. He ran across thend, leaving only burned ground behind in his wake. He soon noticed the ck dome, realized that he couldn''t run through it, and immediately did a U-turn before running back to the White Paradise.


    Xerxus'' body bounced up and down on the ground while Noelle''s scream reverberated through the air. Her hair was being ripped from her scalp by Lycanhowl''s deadly grip.


    Swoosh!


    Then, a ck-shafted spear flew through the air, skewering Lycanhowl through his chest and leaving behind a bloody hole.


    The spearnded on the ground a dozen meters away, and it happened to be the famous Gungnir!<sub> </sub>


    Xerxus and Noelle escaped Lycanhowl''s grip and quickly ran back into the White Paradise. They only stopped when they were far enough from the demon to react if he nned to attack them.


    "Who helped us?" Noelle asked while looking across the rooftops. They noticed the spear but couldn''t catch a glimpse of it properly to see whose spear it was. Xerxus shook his head but had a hunch.


    Lycanhowl staggered with blood gushing out of his chest. He was trembling in a surprising amount of pain.


    The Gungnir trembled inside the ground before flying out to the sky andnding on the hand of Kalzer, who stood on top of the grayish walls.


    He looked down at Lycanhowl and let out a quiet chuckle. His grip on the spear tightened, then he jumped down the wall and rushed towards the speedster demon.


    ...


    Bang! Bang!


    The bullets shredded through the bodies of Inhumans as they were d in some kind of ck smoke, that deteriorated the bodies of everyone who got hit and then slowly killed them.


    The man who wielded dual revolvers had a dirty face and a thick ck beard. Hisugh reverberated in the air while his fingers pulled the triggers, killing another group of soldiers.


    He was part of the Legion of Evil, ckbeard!


    "Stop your heinous deeds, ckbeard!" An angry Archangel rushed through the streets. He was Uriel and had known ckbeard for several decades. He''d been trying to change his ways and get him to join their side. However, it was of no use. He was pure evil, with no humanity left.


    "Then try to stop me!" ckbeardughed with his crisp voice and fired the bullets at Uriel. The white-winged Archangel smashed his mace through the bullets and then unfurled his wings and hurled forward while sending a kick towards the ck-bearded man''s face.


    "Pure ck!" ckbeard caught the leg with ck smoke emitting from his hand. Uriel shuddered as the ck smoke felt immensely cold. ckbeard then smashed Uriel against the pavement before flinging him across the street.


    Uriel clumsily stabilized him and used his wings to hover meters above the ground. He then flew upward before turning around and flying back to ckbeard.


    "ck Fist!" ckbeard grinned, kicked the pavement, and leaped through the air. He took Urielpletely off guard. His ck-smoked arm then smashed through Uriel''s stomach. All the air left his lungs, making him gasp greedily for air as he started having difficulties breathing. Then he slowly fell to the ground.


    ckbeardnded beside Uriel, ced his feet against his neck, and pressed hard. Uriel''s eyes bulged before exploding, and the rest of his body turned limp. ckbeard then twisted his neck, breaking it, and finally killing off the Archangel.


    "Death Party!" ckbeard unleashed his another move and this time, he mmed his fist against the ground and injected the pavement with strange ck mist. Everyone in White Paradise streets suddenly felt their bodies turning limp and sluggish.


    They started falling one after another.


    "Kahahahahahaha!" ckbeardughed madly as people died everywhere around him. He didn''t care whether they were humans, demons, or gods. They were nothing but bags of meat.

 Chapter 698 Jack Vs. Jack.

    Gaia and Lucifer looked at each other while hovering above the burning White Paradise.


    They didn''t speak a word until both of them disappeared and reappeared millisecondster with their fists shing. At the first sh, Gaia was pushed back. Lucifer reeled in his fists and punched towards the beautiful goddess, with each punch causing the air to explode.


    Gaia stretched her slender arms forward and pped the fists away with her palms and elbows. She then snapped her fingers, and enormous tree-width nts shot out of the ground and engulfed Lucifer.


    "Vanish." Lucifer stepped forth with a wave of his hands, and all the nts vanished like they never existed. He then pointed his finger at Gaia and said, "Vanish."


    Gaia crossed her arms and felt an invisible power grab her body. She struggled to open, but she then increased the speed of golden blood and made the heart pump the blood faster to her veins. Then she exploded with power, and with one yell, the invisible power disappeared.


    Gaia''s beautiful silver hair fluttered across her, making her look like an absolutely beautiful celestial creature.


    "What are you trying to prove?" Lucifer asked. "You cannot defeat me. Only Chaos might be able to give some kind of challenge."


    "You are a harbinger of death." Gaia rxed her tense muscles. "I am the bringer of life. I am sure that answers your question."


    "Foolishness." Lucifer said with a chuckle. "Sure, I can die in this war and rest of the Demon Kings. However, we won''t lose this war. It doesn''t matter what happens to us, but there are powers in universe that cannot be fought against."


    "Well, we will deal with those powers when we get there." Gaia''s hair started fluttering upward. "But for now, we will stop you."


    "You don''t get it." Lucifer clenched his fist and looked sharply at the goddess. "There is no victory for you."


    "Maybe." Gaia jumped forward and appeared within hitting distance away from Lucifer. "But, you won''t win either!"


    Lucifer smashed his fist against Gaia''s delicate fist. The two forces shed and the air around them exploded.


    ...


    "N-No, don''t, please!"


    Stab!


    Jack the Ripper sliced through a begging man''s throat with his curvy-edged knife. He was standing now alone in an alleyway with corpses strewn across the pavement.


    "Hmm." He scratched his chin with the bloodied knife and thought aloud, "What did that demon want us to do? Uhh, can''t remember. I guess just kill people."


    He shrugged his shoulders and stopped caring soon afterward.


    He soon left the alleyway and found the first pair of innocent-looking soldiers to kill. With one slice, two heads started rolling down the bloodied pavement. Even after killing ruthlessly, his expression didn''t change, like it was some mundane thing he had just done.


    However, then... everyone turned to sky as familiarughter echoed.


    "Hohohoho..."


    Aether stopped chasing after Beelzebub and turned toward the snowy mountain with a small smile. "I see, they decided to show up."


    "That..." Kalzer flipped over Lycanhowl''s immensely quick figure and at the same time, turned to look at the source of theughter. He recognized it.<sub> </sub>


    Amour, who finished off another demon, looked toward the sky with twitching eyebrow.


    Xerxus sighed and scratched his hair while Noelle ran through several demons around him.


    In the sky, a flying sleigh, which was pulled by reindeers, appeared from the snowy mountains. Driving it was Christian Winter, Winter Society''s Leader, who has a Legacy of Santa us.


    Behind him in the seats were Snow Society''s Leader, Savannah Snow. Then, next to her was Ice Society''s Leader, Lee Ice, then next to him was Magnus Cold, Cold Society''s Leader.


    And thenstly, standing in the flying sleigh was Jack Frost, whose appearance immediately chilled the ground.


    Jack Frost looked at the sky and then said, "I am off."


    "Hmm?" Christian turned around and saw Jack Frost hopping off the sleigh and falling down mysteriously towards White Paradise.


    "Me too." Savannah said and jumped out of the flying sleigh. She then started transforming and soon became a five hundred meter long Snow Dragon. Her legacy was Kuraokami, the mythological snow dragon!


    "RAAAAAAAAAAAAWR!" She opened her enormous dragon jaw and breathed out snow, which froze all the demons that were in her vicinity.


    "Whew, me too then." Magnus yawned and leaped off the sleigh. As he was falling, his body suddenly started having beautiful white fur, and then his face turned scary, almost looking like a gori except covered in white fur. He has a legacy of Yeti!


    In White Paradise, Jack Frost calmlynded on top of a pitched roof building while looking down at a blood-covered killer who held a curved-edged de.


    Jack the Ripper and Jack Frost exchanged nces before both of them lunged forward and traded blows.


    Jack the Ripper''s de grazed past Jack Frost''s cheek.


    Jack Frost summoned a staff and smacked it across the Ripper''s face.


    "Cold!" The Ripper eximed asyer of ice appeared around his cheek.


    Jack Frost didn''t pay heed to his cries. Instead, he spun the staff around and mmed it on the pavement. The entire street was instantly covered in ice, even freezing the Ripper entirely!


    However, the Ripper was holding the grip of his Flintlock pistol inside the ice. Jack Frost didn''t see him even draw the pistol, but he somehow managed to do so before getting frozen.


    Inside the ice, Jack the Ripper slowly pulled the trigger and broke the ice with the bullet.


    The Ripper put his finger between trigger guard and the trigger, then he spun it around and pulled the trigger several times. The bullets flew randomly in the streets until one of them tore through Jack Frost''s thigh.


    Jack Frost quickly froze the wound, but the Ripper had already grabbed his knife from the ground and plunged it deep into Jack Frost''s chest.


    "Never been fighting to death, eh, chap?" Jack the Ripper smirked. "That shall be the reason you died. You hesitated. You could have frozen my bones, but you decided on mercy. A mistake."


    "F-Fine..." Jack Frost coughed up blood and showed a blood-stained smile. "Now... I won''t hesitate."


    "Eh?" Jack the Ripper felt the temperature decrease rapidly. He dropped his gaze in a hurry and saw that the knife and his arms had been entirely frozen. He cried out in shock, then the ice exploded, and half of the White Paradise was suddenly covered in a thick iceyer with a temperature below absolute zero.

 Chapter 699 Lunas Magical Spell.

    ? "..." ckbeard stood still as the streets in front of him froze altogether. The ice stopped spreading right before hitting his boots.


    "Its rather chilly." ckbeard touched the freezing cold and his hand immediately frozen. However, then the ck smoke broke the ice and started engulfing the streets while making the ice disappear.


    But then, a ball of fire fell from the sky andnded right on top of his head.


    Boom!


    ckbeard''s head exploded and fell to the ground back-first, with his headless corpse smoking ck. On top of one of the pitched roofs, Luna waved her wand while sending waves after waves of ming balls towards the Legion of Evil, who swarmed the city.


    Three members of the Legion of Evil hopped across the roofs, going towards the beautiful ck-haired woman. They were notorious criminals from the early days of humanity, where they did every criminal act known to mankind, and even now, they don''t feel the slightest of remorse.


    Luna noticed them approaching long-time ago, but still didn''t react, because there was someone else to take care of them.


    Tick-tock, Tick-tock...


    The members of the Legion of Evil heard the sound of a clock ticking. It felt like the sound came right inside their brains, and they couldn''t find the source of that strange sound.


    But then, their speed and jumping ability drastically changed. They noticed that their hands looked different than before, and even their voices were different. Their bodies quickly aged until they were nothing but skin and bones.


    They groaned in pain as their backs felt very strained, and they surprisingly felt sleepiness assaulting them. They stopped approaching Luna and instead fell asleep on their feet. However, that was also a sleep that wouldst forever. They died of old age.


    The culprit of the incident, Alice, peeked through the heavy drapes while staying rtively hidden from demons. She hadn''t learned to utilize her new-found powers in close quarters. Thus, she had to rely on long distance time maniption powers.


    Luna expected that to be all and was about to move closer to the walls. However, then a deep voice entered her ears.


    "Where are you going, Missy?" As she turned around, she noticed ckbeard''s head regenerating with the ck smoke until he looked exactly the same as before. Even the thick ck beard was regenerated.


    "That did quite sting, kahahahaha!" ckbeard grinned viciously and turned the entire building, where Luna was standing, into ck mist. Luna lost her foothold and fell into the ck smoke.


    Then, she quickly waved her wand, and a ming sea exploded from the ground and enveloped the ck smoke. Luna quickly left the ck mist, but then crashed into ckbeard''s bulging chest.


    ckbeard reached his hand, d in ck smoke, towards Luna''s face. But, she quickly dodged, flipped over the tall man and waved her wand. She made the oxygen disappear around ckbeard.<sub> </sub>


    ckbeard''s throat bulged slightly as he lost all his ability to breathe. He quickly ran after Luna, but she then kicked him in the face, forcing him to stay in the same oxygenless space.


    Luna waved her wand again, and this time, she increased the gravity. ckbeard crashed to the ground and felt like the entire world was fighting against him. It might seem like an invisible hand was holding him down.


    Luna pressed the tip of the wand against ckbeard''s throat and softly said, "You are human, correct? The famous pirate that lived 300¨C400 years ago. I used to read stories about you as a kid, and I had a phase when I wished to be healthy, then track down evil and be a warrior of justice. You were the reason for that dream I had as a child."


    ckbeard nced at her eyes sternly. He couldn''t speak, and his face had already turned red fromck of oxygen.


    The tip of the wand glowed as Luna finished herst spell. However, then the ground shook and a shockwave leveled the buildings, sending Luna crashing through a building with blood gushing out of her mouth.


    She happened to catch a glimpse of Chronos and Mammon fighting. The range of their fight killed several demons and even mortals in their wake. Chronos couldn''t stop Mammon from killing them.


    Luna painfully rolled on the ground, and after stopping, she held her bleeding arm with an ufortable expression. Then, a shadow loomed over her. ckbeard looked at her coldly, and his arm burst into ck smoke.


    "You talk too much." ckbeard raised his arm, formed a fist with his left hand, and hammered it down!


    "That''s our speciality. Witches I mean." Luna closed her eyes, and the wand hovered on top of her palm. The wand suddenly burst into speed, pierced through ckbeard''s throat, and then started glowing till it turned into a tight metal cage that engulfed the pirate entirely!


    "COUGH!" ckbeard coughed up blood while bleeding from his throat. He looked anxiously at the metal cage and wondered where it came from.


    "You think I talked and didn''t do anything?" Luna stood up while mending her wounds. She continued talking, "Remember when I touched you in the throat with the wand?"


    ckbeard''s eyes shook, and he remembered that when the gravity increased, the ck-haired woman ced the wand against his throat. However, he didn''t care too much about it.


    "I ced a tracking spell at the spot I touched." Luna said, finishing covering her bloody arm. "That''s why the wand could use the tracking spell to track you and do that."


    She nced at the hole in ckbeard''s throat and smiled. "The wand isn''t a sentient being, so it can''t do that out of its own free will. So, I created some simple tracking spell, nothing special."


    ckbeard gritted his teeth and activated the ck smoke, which soon covered the wound. But then, the cage closed in on him, tightly coiling around him like metal cages. He immediately lost all his ability to breathe, and even his organs were crushing against his chest.


    He continued coughing up blood while the metal bars hugged him tightly, crushing him. With a terrifying screech, the metal cages burst through his flesh and body¡ªkilling him with a bloody disy.

 Chapter 700 Odin Vs. Laxus.

    "Howoooooo!" Fenrir lunged forward and took arge bite out of empty air. Asmodeus, in his angelic form, dodged the massive mouth and hammered the mace down across the ck thick fur.


    The attacks were slowly starting to work.


    Fenrir''s tail wagged rapidly, and it produced strong enough wind to pull the trees out of their roots. Then, its tail grew in length and turned spiky. The tail wagged side-to-side before crashing into Asmodeus!


    Asmodeus barely put the mace in the way of the tail; however, he was still sent flying away. His vision swam until he saw everything turning dark. Fenrir''s mouth closed down on him before swallowing him.


    Asmodeus slid down Fenrir''s dark tongue, and he quickly started hovering and smashed his mace against one of the teeth. That caused Fenrir to let out a terrifying howl, which opened its mouth enough for him to escape.


    Then, Fenrir, in anger, swung its paw and smacked Asmodeus off the skies. Asmodeus crashed through the ground, and arge earthquake appeared that shook the entire world.


    Some distance away, Loki and Arthur were only a kilometer away from reaching the ck dome, which surrounded White Paradise. They felt the tremors in the ground.


    "I wonder if the world can handle that kind of fight." Arthur said his worries. After witnessing the strength of Fenrir, he really wondered whether the world would still be standing after a battle with Demon Kings and Primordial Gods.


    "Yes. But, the Demon Kings can be frustrated and destroy the world out of rage, especially if they are losing. However, we aren''t nning letting them do that."


    "What if you guys can''t stop it?" Arthur asked.


    "Well, I heard someone resurrected World of White. Heard about that?" Loki turned to Arthur, who nodded absently. They thought it was Gaia who did that, but she said she didn''t, so everyone was quite curious about the person who did. After all, it was an incredible feat.


    Arthur turned to the ck dome and saw that the four mountains were also inside the dome. He thought about the Secret Society. ''I wonder if theye down to help us.''


    ...


    Spurt!


    "Aagh!" Inhuman cried out as a spear skewered through his body. Holding the spear was Demon General Laxus, who nonchntly pulled the spear and sliced through the Inhuman''s throat. It was like killing an insect.


    "Why did they order me to kill some worthless shits when I could be fighting against gods?" Laxus gritted his teeth. "Why are they still underestimating me? I captured Thor!"


    "Oh, it was you." Suddenly, a voice came from empty air, and following that, a golden portal appeared in front of Laxus. Stepping down the portal was Odin, d in his golden armor.


    ''Odin?!'' Laxus held his spear high and moved into a fighting stance. He held the spear with two hands, the tip pointing at Odin''s aged face.


    Odin tapped the ground with his golden spear and said, "Tell me where Thor is, now."


    "Don''t dare to order me! I am Demon General Laxus!" Laxus kicked off the ground and pushed his spear forward. Odin side-stepped, deflected the spear with the side of his golden shaft, and swung it sideways towards Laxus'' throat.<sub> </sub>


    Laxus dove underneath the golden spear and stabbed his spear towards Odin''s unguarded calf muscles. However, Odin suddenly vanished, and then a punchnded on Laxus'' cheek out of nowhere.


    Laxus crashed to the wall and quickly moved out of the way as the golden spear cut through the wall like it was made of y. Odin held the spear with bulging muscles, and then a golden beam flew out of the de.


    Laxus spun the spear around rapidly and shed against the golden beam. He let out a scream, but soon noticed that the golden beam was pushing him backward. He anxiously moved out of the way, then threw the spear towards Odin''s chest.


    Odin used the golden spear and smacked the flying spear away. He quickly kicked the pavement and started stabbing repeatedly towards Laxus. Each stab tore through the air.


    Laxus crouched before leaping across the air. Hended behind Odin, smashed his foot against his back, then pulled his spear from the wall and swung it backward.


    Odin quickly blocked the spear strike, but lost his bnce slightly. Laxus took advantage of it and pushed the spear forward with great strength.


    Odin smashed his spear on the pavement and used it to backflip to dodge the spear. He jumped over the glowing de, then let go of the spear and threw it at Laxus.


    The golden spear tore through Laxus'' shoulder, impaling through the pavement.


    "Ah!" Laxus cried out and tore the spear out of his shoulder. However, that caused his arm to fall off as the rest of the shoulder was a mutted mess. But Laxus didn''t care and quickly jumped back to his feet.


    But then, Odin grabbed the golden spear, drove it through Laxus'' throat and activated the golden beam. Laxus'' eyes glowed in gold before exploding.


    Odin pushed Laxus down to the pavement and removed the spear. He perfectly controlled his golden beam and only made Laxus unable to continue fighting, but just barely enough to stay alive.


    "Where is Thor. Tell me!" Odin shouted.


    The wound on Laxus'' throat slowly healed, but not his eyes. The golden energy swimming in his eye sockets made regenerating impossible!


    "Ugh... fuck... you!"


    "Hmph." Odin pressed against his throat and this time, he broke his neck. Laxus squirmed in agony before his neck again healed.


    "Haaah... haaah... haaah..." Laxus breathed eratically while seeing nothing but darkness. That was even more frightening since he couldn''t see the person who was torturing him. He started wondering whether this was how the people he tortured felt like. It was frightening feeling!


    Odin was about to again break his neck, but then Laxus cried out.


    "WAIT!" Laxus shouted in panic. "H-He is in my ship, in the prison cell there. Its a silver ship, medium-sized and should be quite noticeable. Y-You should also feel Thor''s aura..."


    Odin didn''t hear any falseness in his tone. Therefore, he nodded in appreciation and stabbed his spear into Laxus'' heart. As he screamed in pain, the golden beam burst through every part of his body, killing him painfully and slowly.

 Chapter 701 Tartarus.

    ''Kill them!''


    Tartarus flinched after hearing Lucifer''s angry voice inside his mind. He was standing inside abandoned Legacy Company''s skyscraper, in the ground floor. Around him was corpses of dozens of angels.


    However, he knew that Lucifer didn''t want him to kill these nobodies.


    "Sigh, maybe following Erebus was a bad move." Tartarus sighed and stepped through the front door and arrived in the half-frozen and destroyed streets.


    "Diee!" Out of nowhere, an axe-wielding god appeared behind Tartarus, hacking the axe down. Tartarus snapped his fingers, and a tall metal door appeared behind him. The axe struck the door, sending bright sparks flying around. Then, the door swung open, and chains coiled around the surprised god.


    Then, the chains sucked the god inside the door, and then it mmed shut.


    No one would ever find that god in his own realm. He was basically half-dead, suffering in endless torment.


    Bang!


    A bullet flew across the sky, and another door appeared from empty air and blocked the bullet''s trajectory. Tartarus turned to look into the distance and saw King us holding his ck-masked gun.


    The door swung open, and shimmering chains shot out of the open door. They burst through the buildings and approached King us'' position. However, he quickly backflipped away from the building and simultaneously fired bullets through the cracked window, through the wall, and straight toward Tartarus.


    Tartarus waved his hand, and the door skidded through the pavement and appeared in front of the bullet. The bullet entered the open door and vanished into a glowing ck portal.


    us rolled on the ground, leaped back to his feet, and ran through the alleyway between two buildings. The chains burst through the walls and surrounded him!


    us kicked off the pavement and dove through the gap between two chains. Then, he aimed the sniper''s barrel towards pavement, fired a bullet, and used its recoil to propel himself upward. He backflipped in mid-air,nded on the rooftop, and quickly leaped towards another rooftop while the chains wrapped around the previous building and destroyed it.


    us'' frown grew, and he quickly flipped the sniper around, pulled the trigger with his index finger, and released another bullet. This time, the bullet aimed towards the chains. However, the metal chains dodged the bullet like slithering snakes. It was as if they had a mind of their own.


    The chains were also bing increasingly longer. The distance between the chains and the open door was already nearing the one-kilometer mark. The chain was still getting longer and longer, almost as if it didn''t have any limits!


    us turned around and looked around the streets with a sharp gaze. He then caught sight of a golden lightning. His eyes started showing circuits of lightning, then, shockingly, he burst into great speed and crossed the distance between him and Tartarus in only a millisecond.


    In the past year, after his humiliating defeat to Isaac, he increased his powers with his obsessive nature and even learned how to copy the basic abilities of his opponents. Now, he could even copy Isaac''s incredible vision and even Noelle''s speed, which he just did.<sub> </sub>


    He did all that just to defeat Isaac. However, he never got that chance.


    Tartarus was impressed by the speed but not fazed. He quickly summoned the door and made it appear in front of him. He then touched the back of the ck metal door and pushed it forward.


    The door moved through the pavement with incredible speed and collided with us. He was thrown across the street with his right arm swaying behind him. His arm was broken by the impact!


    us smashed into a horde of demons and humans who were fighting at the far end of the street. The number of soldier demons and ordinary mortals had reduced drastically. They couldn''t survive for long on the battlefield with so many strong individuals.


    Tartarus waved his hand, and the doors swung open with new chains shooting out. The three other doors, which he had summoned some time ago, also sent their chains after us. The chains shredded through the demons, inhumans, New-Gen Humans and Angels.


    us tried to stand up, but then the coils wrapped around his limbs and dragged him towards Tartarus. With four chains holding his limbs, he was soon hovering in front of Tartarus with painful screams. One of the chains was holding tightly to the broken arm, and it looked like it was nearly falling off the shoulder.


    Tartarus looked toward the sky, where the most powerful people were fighting. There was one person who saw what was happening on the streets. She was Gaia, and her face seemed slightly haggard after fighting Lucifer. However, now Shiva had entered the battle and was fighting well against Lucifer.


    That allowed her to have enough time to look at Tartarus.


    "Tartarus, please don''t!" Gaia cried out, attracting the attention of others.


    Vasily Zaytsev finished another dozen soldiers. He then heard the cry and turned around to look at the scene, which was being watched by others. His eyes widened, and he tried to move into a firing stance. But then, members of the Legion of Evil ambushed him and pushed him off the roof.


    Tartarus didn''t gloat or smile. He just let out a sigh, waved his hand and made the chains pull us'' limbs to different directions. His scream reverberated in the air, then all his limbs was pulled off his torso and thenstly, Tartarus wielded his scythe and sliced through his throat.


    The crimson blood flew in the air, sttering against the cracked pavement and frozen walls...


    Thud... thud... thud...


    King us'' head bounced up and down on the pavement beforeing to a stop. His lifeless eyes blinked once more before entering eternal rest.


    "No!" Gaia screamed and flew towards Tartarus in anger. But then, Anti-Social appeared in her path and split the space in half. Gaia dodged it barely but some of her beautiful silver hair got split in half. Then, Axcel appeared behind him with a lusty grin, grabbed her by hair and threw her straight to the ground.


    CRASH!

 Chapter 702 Uprising.

    "Gaia!" Aether''s expression fell, but losing his concentration like that was a grave mistake. Beelzebub saw that chance and entered his highest speed mode. He moved with far superior speed than lightspeed and rammed straight through Aether.


    Aether''s back broke, then his neck snapped in half, andstly, his body exploded with gold blood sttered across the air.


    However, one eyeball survived, and it was still moving rapidly. Then, a ball of gold light shrouded the eyeball, and Aether started slowly regenerating. If the eyeball had been destroyed, he would be truly dead.


    But he was far from fighting condition.


    Two of the Primordial Gods had been brought to the ground. The tide of the war had rapidly shifted in the demons'' favor!


    It all started with Gaia. She was the backbone of the entire human army, and if she was killed, the rest of the army would slowly fall apart. That''s why Lucifer ordered Tartarus to kill one of the chain breakers because he knew Gaia''s emotions were currently in a fragile state.


    She felt the deaths of hundreds of thousands in less than a day, and then seeing one of her former friends, Tartarus, kill one of the people who were summoned by her to help them in the war, made her fragile emotions crack.


    She lost control of her emotions, rushed towards Tartarus, but was then ambushed by Demon Lords of first and second heaven.


    Lucifer hovered on top of the White Paradise and looked coldly at the bloody scene. The demons started overwhelming the human army.


    ...


    "Fucking mutt." Asmodeus punched through the ground and appeared on the world''s surface once again. The massive ck-furred wolf stood as tall as ever. Their distance was five kilometers, but it might as well be nothing because of Fenrir''s height.


    Asmodeus reached both his hands towards his sides. Then, two maces appeared, one in each hand. They were glowing with a brilliant silver luster and were incredibly beautiful to look at.


    His aura grew stronger and stronger until all the clouds gathered above vanished. His aura was still growing, and his strength even surpassed Satan''s!


    No one knew that his strength could reach this far, not even Lucifer, who treated him as a fool andzy moron most of the time. He wasn''t far from surpassing Lucifer!


    "More! A little bit more!" Asmodeus screamed, and his hair turned very long. Then, his ck hair turned to beautiful white color. His hair reached his knees, but it was very silky and untainted.


    "Aaaaaaaah!" His scream shook the skies, then Asmodeus leaped off to the ground and smashed his mace across Fenrir''s enormous face. Fenrir crashed to the ground, and following that was a wide-spread earthquake.


    "Dirty mutt!" Asmodeus moved the mace above his head, then attacked. "Demonic Punishment!"


    The maces hacked straight down at Fenrir''s head, shattering the ground below and causing the enormous wolf to let out a painful whimper.


    "Demonic Onught!" Asmodues started hitting Fenrir''s skull repeatedly with the silver maces. The indestructible skin started slowly caving in!


    It was an incredible show of power by Asmodeus!


    His attacks left behind series of afterimages. It was already impossible to see when he raised his harms and hacked the maces down.


    Fenrir looked hopeless as it couldn''t shrug Asmodeus away from its body.


    Then, Asmodeus raised his maces, which both glowed with brilliant luster. He was about to smash them down, but then half of his body exploded!


    "Eh..." Asmodeus staggered to the side, dropped his maces, and looked at his half-destroyed body with only half of his face intact. "What..."


    "HOWOOOOOOOOO!" Fenrir took advantage of that and smacked Asmodeus away. The celestial-looking man crashed to the ground, leaving behind a trail of blood before stopping in the middle of a wastnd.<sub> </sub>


    ''What. What. What. What. What.'' Asmodeus mind couldn''tprehend what happened since half of his brain was also destroyed. But then his body started slowly regenerating, but it was painfully slow.


    Tap, tap, tap, tap.


    Footsteps stopped beside him. Asmodeus barely could see the person and let out a sigh of despair. "W-why... you... here..."


    "Why indeed." Isaac rested his sniper rifle against his shoulder and looked down at the mutted Demon King. "You have been busy, I see."


    Fenrir looked from the distance and felt an instinctive urge to bow its head. Its enormous head descended from the heavens with its back slowly bending downward. It actually looked like it was bowing towards Isaac!


    Ceto, Lock, and the rest watched from a distance with gobsmacked expressions.


    "AARGGH!" Out of nowhere, Asmodeus screamed hatefully, and all his wounds healed instantly. He rose to his feet, summoned his two maces, and smashed them towards Isaac.


    However, each mace missed Isaac by an inch. But, Asmodeus didn''t give up and tried to hit him even once. But, it was futile.


    Isaac spun the sniper around, blocked both maces, then smashed his heel against Asmodeus'' kneecap, shattering it. As Asmodeus'' knees buckled, Isaac ced the sniper''s barrel into his mouth and fired.


    The bullet burst through Asmodeus'' mouth, sttering his skull pieces and brain matter across thend.


    Isaac threw the gun into his inventory and grabbed Asmodeus'' half-destroyed face. He could see the Demon King blinking. Then, the ck smoke entered Asmodeus'' eye, causing him to cry in pain. His body withered with visible speed, and soon Asmodeus was a skinny corpse!


    Isaac let go of his face and let him fall to the ground, dead.


    Ceto covered her mouth in shock. "H-He killed another Demon King!"


    "Are Demon Kings strong?" Lock asked while the rest of the Stronglord army members were curious.


    Ceto looked at them and wryly smiled. "Yes, they could destroy this entire whenever they wanted to."


    Lock and the rest of his army drew a cold breath. If someone like that was killed in such an easy way, how strong was Isaac?


    Isaac looked at Fenrir and smirked. He leaped through the air,nded on top of Fenrir''s head. However, the massive wolf let out a painful whimper since there was bruises, scars and wounds everywhere in its head.


    But, with just a wave of his hand, Isaac healed all the injuries and turned towards the far-away ck dome. "Alright, Fenrir was it? Can you take me there?"


    Fenrir didn''t hesitate and burst into motion. With only a few leaps, they had already arrived in front of the ck dome!


    Isaac grinned, reeled in his fist and screamed. "OPEN SESAME!"


    His punchnded on the ck dome, and then, a spectacr scene happened.


    Crack...


    The ck dome, created by Lucifer and supposed to be indestructible, cracked.

 Chapter 703 Final Sacrifice.

    "Kekekeke!"


    The demonicughter reverberated across blood-stained streets. The corpses of both sides had started to pile up on the sidewalks, with running blood flowing down the pavement.


    The flowing blood fell into the small crater, with small pebbles bouncing down. At the bottom of the crater, a silver-haired goddess was lying down in pain. She was struggling to stand up, but most of her pain was mental-rted.


    Tap, tap, tap, tap!


    A several footsteps stopped beside the crater. They belonged to Anti-Social and Axcel.


    "..." Anti-Social didn''t speak a word. Instead, he aimed his finger toward Gaia and was about to use his split attack.


    "Wait." Axcel lowered Anti-Social''s finger and said, "Isn''t it wasteful to kill her so soon? The war is basically won by now. Might as well have some fun; you get what I mean?"


    "She is Primordial Goddess. If we underestimate her even the slightest, she will kill us." Anti-Social shrugged Axcel''s arm away with disdain. "Our job is to finish her off, and we better do it."


    "..." Axcel''s gaze grew cold, and as he turned to Gaia, he clicked his tongue while thinking about what a waste.


    Anti-Social raised his finger, pointed it at Gaia and was about to unleash the attack. But then, the earth shook while the ck dome that surrounded the sky and everything around them started cracking out of nowhere.


    Axcel whipped his head upward toward the sky and was baffled. "Is Lucifer taking down ck dome?"


    "No, it is being destroyed from outside!"


    ...


    Lucifer turned toward the ck dome with shock. The cracks spread across the dome bit by bit. Like clockwork, the earth shook heavily as a loud "Thump" reverberated across the sky. It was as if someone was hitting their fist against something!


    "What is this?" His hair blew backward as the wind blew through him. "The ck dome is not made of solid material... how can it be broken? This doesn''t make any sense."


    Thump, thump, thump!


    The ground cracked and shook. The rocks rolling down thend started slowly hovering before crashing back to the ground. Thump, thump!


    "Everyone, regroup!" Lucifer shouted at everyone.


    The screaming demons stopped their onught against their enemies and rushed out of the White Paradise like a horde. The Demon Lords and Kings gathered behind Lucifer.


    The Primordial Gods finally had time to breathe and quickly retreated to White Paradise.


    "Gaia!" Chronos stopped next to Gaia, started carrying her, and briskly ran through the streets, where he joined everyone at the foot of the Legacy Company building.


    The injured soldiers staggered out of the streets, looking dispirited, and there were still not-yet-dried-out tearstains on their cheeks. Then, the remaining Chain Breakers and Legacy Figures appeared, all of whom had some degree of injury.


    "What is happening?" Eros asked, while his left arm had beenpletely mutted.


    "Someone strong ising." Chaos closed her eyes and slightly smirked. ''It''s time for some disorder. I hope you are ready, Oliver.''


    Inside a deste building, which was located at the far east in White Paradise and half-destroyed with the second floorpletely gone. Then, the door to the basement opened, revealing Oliver with an unusually pale face.


    He was bare-chested, and there was an "X" mark on his chest that seemed to be... beating, like a heart.<sub> </sub>


    ''Time for the disorder. I hope you didn''t change your mind.''


    Oliver shook his head and staggered toward the broken door. "No... I am ready."


    ''Good... The war cannot be won without sacrifices, and now, you shall be the "Final Sacrifice".''


    "I know, no need to share your sales pitch." Oliver lumbered through the broken door and entered a chilly environment. "Isaac... you better not fuck this up. You might be an annoying bastard, but you''ve never let any of your fellow schoolmates down, and I hope you don''t start now."


    With onest step, Oliver disappeared into the streets.


    Da-dum-da-dum-da-dum...


    The drums started reverberating across the sky.


    ...


    Da-dum-da-dum-da-dum...


    "A drums?" Mammon cleaned his ear with his finger after hearing the rhythmic drumming noises. It was different from demonic drums, which sounded hateful and evil. The current drumbeat sounded powerful enough to make the whole earth shake.


    Lucifer looked down at the ck dome and said, "The sound ising behind the ck dome, through the cracks."


    Everyone turned to the same cracks, which started slowly spreading across the sky. It made the ck dome look like a window, which was about to be broken.


    They all tensed up because they knew that the ck dome would be broken in less than a minute. They couldn''t do anything to stop it.


    THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!


    At the end of that minute, all the demons flinched as one more "Thump" echoed from the distance. Then, the ck dome started falling apart before disappearing into specks of light.


    ...


    In the center of the multiverse, a ck void of space resided. It was a ce that was unreachable by both gods and demons. It was called the "Forbidden Zone" of everything, and it was a ce where creatures of darkness lurked.


    Inside the Forbidden Zone, a pale-skinned man with hairless body sat in the middle of dark space cross-legged. He donned baggy robes that barely fit his unusually skinny body. His eyes were immensely ck, like his eyes were reced by marbles.


    His skin was so pale that it looked like it had been corrupted by the endless darkness.


    Around him, hideous-looking creatures lurked in the darkness, and they were all simr in size to some of the gxies. Once in a while, their blood-red eyes appeared in the darkness and brought horror to everyone who saw them.


    This was a scene that Satan witnessed before his death, and Isaac also witnessed it.


    However, Satan missed this pale-skinned person, but Isaac didn''t. They even locked gazes once, and, unknown to everyone, a battle between two of the strongest people in existence started happening.


    The pale-skinned person''s name was "Demon". He was the forefather of the entire Demon Race and was the person who created them from scratch. He possessed the strength of every demon in existence, and even if all of them fought against him, he would still win.


    This was a creature who could kill everyone just with a single thought, and shockingly, Isaac survived the meeting and even looked him straight in the eye.


    And now, Demon felt that the annihtion of the entire demon race was nearing. Therefore, after millions of years, he finally stopped sitting and stood up.

 Chapter 704 One Above All.

    Da-dum-da-dum-da-dum.


    Following the war drums, thousands of strong Stronglord army soldiers stepped forward and started marching towards the faraway demon army. The drumming grew louder and louder.


    The demons startedughing and throwing insults at them. They thought a formable enemy wasing, but it was just another human army.


    Even the Demon Lords and Kings frowned. They expected there to be some kind of challenge, but it looked like their victory had been solidified.


    However, Lucifer looked serious since he knew that there was someone as strong as him who managed to destroy the ck dome.


    "Look." Leviathan turned to his human form and pointed at the ordinary-looking woman in the distance. "Ceto, did she break the dome?"


    "Hmm, she is quite strong." Belphegor agreed that it was a good possibility.


    "No." However, Lucifer looked straight at the smiling white-haired man, who was casually walking forward even though thousands of auras were attacking him. "It was him."


    "Him?" Beelzebub frowned. "He is human, isn''t he?"


    Lucifer had a bad feeling about this.


    In the White Paradise.


    Gaia coughed loudly and spat out blood.


    "You alright?" Chronos patted her back while looking towards the demons.


    "Yeah..." Gaia muttered a smile and looked towards the demon with her heart racing. "L-Let''s go... to the wall."


    "To the wall? Why?" Chronos tried to ask, but Gaia didn''t answer and started staggering towards faraway flight of stairs, that led to top of the wall. She was followed by others.


    They stepped up the rock stairs, then gathered in the wall and looked toward the distance. They were surprised to see another army appearing, but knew it was pointless. The victory had been slipped away from their grasps.


    "It''s Ceto, look." Uranus pointed with his chin towards the ordinary-looking woman who walked beside a white-haired man.


    "She broke the dome? She is stronger than I thought." Chronos said it with surprise.


    "No." Shiva interrupted him and smirked, "Holy shit. That guy is fucking crazy."


    "Who?" Chronos frowned.


    Luna and Alice peeked over the railing and eximed in surprise. Their eyes were glued to Isaac''s distant figure.


    Isaac stopped walking and scratched the back of his head. He felt the presence of his "real body" which seemed to be buried under a building''s debris. Since the destruction of the World of White, he has actually been using his avatar. However, since reaching level 1000, his avatar and real body have been connected.


    The pain was now perfectly equal, which exined why the amount of pain he felt was immense. But, Isaac felt that his avatar was much weaker than his real body, but he didn''t bother to log out, just yet. Because, he wanted topletely "connect" each other and see how far his strength reaches. Maybe even Arthur and the rest didn''t think anyone would reach this level and werepletely unaware of what would happen.<sub> </sub>


    "Ah." Isaac sat cross-legged on the ground, shocking most of the spectators. He then sped his hands together and began meditating.


    Ceto and the rest of the army looked at him strangely, but didn''t disturb him in any way. The scenested for thirty seconds until Isaac opened his eyes.


    Isaac''s silver eyes turned white as he turned momentarily blind. However, because he was blind, he could see a transparent figure flying towards him from White Paradise. No one else could see it.


    It was his real body, but in astral projection form. The rest of his real body vanished into clouds of particles as it stopped existing. Instead, the avatar and astral projection started bing his real body.


    Once the astral projectionnded on his body, Isaac carefully connected both of them. If he made even a small mistake, he would lose astral projection and his real body. It would be a tragedy. However, he had a feeling that this would be very worthwhile.


    Ceto, Lock, and the army saw that the demon army was bing restless and was about to attack at a moment''s notice.


    "Lucifer, let''s attack." Mammon said impatiently.


    "Go then." Lucifer nonchntly waved his hand. The demons took that as a signal, roared loudly, and started running towards the faraway army.


    There were still tens of thousands in their army, while there were only a few thousand or so in Stronglord''s. It was obvious which army had the advantage.


    However, all Stronglord army soldiers didn''t show fear. They drew their weapons, screamed and rushed towards the demons.


    Once the two armies shed, it was clear who had the advantage. It wasn''t demons.


    Instead, the Stronglord army soldiers were immensely strong and sliced through the demons like they were made of y. The scene shocked everyone!


    "Let''s go!" Gaia shouted towards the exhausted soldiers. "ONE FINAL FIGHT!"


    The soldiers gritted their teeth and screamed loudly to bring up their momentum. They descended the stairs and started running out of the gates towards the faraway battlefield.


    But then, Demon Kings and Lords turned to their army and attacked. However, then Shiva, Gaia, Chronos, Chaos, Uranus, Eros, and Shiva stopped them. Then, all the legacy figures and chain breakers jumped down the wall and followed after the army while screaming till their voices turned hoarse.


    After a while, Aether appeared near the gates and staggered towards the wall while still feeling weak. But then, he saw his son, Arthur, fighting in the battlefield with golden light engulfing him.


    Aether drew a breathe, shrugged off the pain and rushed towards the battlefield aswell.


    Ceto, who was standing next to Isaac, didn''t move an inch. It was like she was protecting him.


    "Ahhh..." Then, Isaac eximed and opened his beautiful silver eyes. He looked same as before but there was something... celestial within him. It was like he was truly "One Above All" in terms of strength.


    Isaac looked at his pale palms and even he didn''t know how strong he was. There was currently no limit to his strength. When he tried to open his interface, it glitched out and didn''t work anymore.


    No one was supposed to grow this strong. Thus, he basically broke White Online''s interface with his newly-gained strength.


    Only time would tell how strong he truly was.

 Chapter 705 Greatest Stream Ever.

    "I can see everything..." Isaac couldn''t handle all the information he was receiving. He could see everything the gods and demons had done in their lives. Every person they killed... saved... talked to...


    He could also... the faces of their fathers and parents. The way they were born.


    But when he looked at the demons, he could only see one face. A pale-skinned man''s emotionless, cold face. He recognized the face. It was the person he saw at the center of the multiverse.


    ''Whoo... whoo...''


    Isaac flinched as he heard breathing ringing in his ears. It belonged to the person called Demon. He was breathing and this time, he was provoking Isaac.


    "I see..." Isaac snorted and rose to his feet. He looked across the bloody battlefield and snapped his fingers. A floating camera appeared beside him, then a red-colored holographic screen appeared out of thin air.


    With one press, he started his stream with 0 current viewers.


    "This will be the greatest stream in existence." Isaac said with an amused chuckle. Even after reaching godhood and being at the level of power that only a very few could fight against him, he still had the childish side within him. Now, he wanted to make the greatest stream that wouldn''t be forgotten.


    "Growl..." Then, a ck-furred wolf appeared beside him. Isaac looked up toward Fenrir and saw its desire to fight.


    "You want to go fight?" Isaac asked and received a soft nod from Fenrir. "Then go."


    Fenrir looked at Isaac and let out a powerful howl that silenced the world. Then, it kicked off the ground and covered the entire sky in its pitch-ck fur.


    The demons and everyone else turned to the sky with bbergasted looks. Then, they all saw Fenrir flying towards a massive sea serpent, Leviathan.


    Fenrir mashed its teeth down at Leviathan''s throat and took a massive bite. Leviathan''s screech resounded across the world as its nigh-indestructible hide was destroyed effortlessly. A crimson blood gushed out of its throat, staining the ground in red.


    "What a crazy beast!" Belphegor eximed. The rest of the Demon Kings looked serious.


    Lucifer frowned and turned to Isaac. He saw that the white-haired man somehow controlled the massive creature.


    ''Who is he?'' Lucifer grimaced.


    Isaac controlled the camera so it would be linked to his body and wouldn''t go flying elsewhere. Then he turned to the battlefield and shouted, "DIE!"


    The soldier demons,manding demons, and Demon Generals who heard the powerful voice froze. The Primordial Gods and Demon Kings felt a chill run through their backs. They turned to Isaac with extreme shock.


    Isaac''s white hair fluttered behind him, and a strange golden halo hovered around him. It was as if he were a supreme god.


    The soldier demons frowned and raised their weapons to attack the nearby humans. However, then their bodies froze and blood gushed out of their eyes. Then,manding demons coughed up blood, andstly, the Demon Generals turned with shock towards the Demon Kings, their bodies shattering.


    Ano and Raizo, two of the most powerful Demon Generals, tried to struggle, but soon their organs shattered with their bodies copsing. They were always hailed as geniuses, who could be Demon Lords.


    Boom!


    They exploded into a blood shower, followed by every other demon below Demon Lord status. Everyone watched with disbelief as the majestic demon army vanished...


    Soon, only Demon Lords and Demon Kings was alive.<sub> </sub>


    "T-That..." Gaia''s mouth opened in shock as her beautiful eyes captured Isaac''s figure. She looked at her own hands and wondered how someone who got his power from her became so powerful. It shouldn''t have been possible.


    The same sentiment was shared by other Primordial Gods. They watched with mouths agape.


    Chaos'' eyes showed ripples, and she started smiling surprisingly. "Bloody brilliant. Oliver, it''s your turn."


    "?!" Lucifer whipped his head around as a purple-colored portal appeared behind him. From there, a bare-chested man with a ck pulsing "X" mark on his chest appeared. He was obviously mortal and didn''t have any power.


    "O-Oliver?!" Alice, surrounded by other chain breakers, eximed loudly.


    Isaac turned to the sky with an expression of shock. The camera turned to the scene above and captured it entirely.


    It was like the time had frozen as everyone watched a single mortal falling towards a Demon King.


    Lucifer touched Oliver''s face with his palm and spoke. "Vanish, foolish mortal."


    He had the power to make everyone vanish. It didn''t matter whether one was an almighty god. With one "vanish", he could make them nonexistent. However, he had to touch the target.


    Oliver''s eyes shook as his entire body started vanishing from this universe. He felt an immense amount of cold and knew that he would die. However, he already expected that to happen and was prepared for it.


    At thest moments of his life, he turned to look at faraway Isaac and showed a smirk. Isaac frowned and took a step forward, but then his body froze in his tracks as he saw something shocking.


    The ck "X" mark on his chest started pulsating, and then Oliver''s chest was ripped open, revealing all of his organs and heart. Oliver screamed in agony but then startedughing with a crazed expression.


    Lucifer''s expression fell as he saw his heart. It was in color of purple and was oozing strange ck smoke.


    "Fuc--"


    BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!


    An enormous explosion appeared in the sky, shaped like a dying rose. The sky was instantly covered in a thickyer of ck smoke and a sea of mes around the explosion site.


    In the ground, everyone watched with expressions of shock. The Demon Lords and Kings couldn''t believe their eyes.


    Chaos started chuckling quietly. "Hehehehe, this is what disorder means. Good job, Oliver; you did well, now its time to exterminate the rest."


    Swoosh!


    With a burst of motion, Chaos appeared behind Beelzebub and drove her hand through his heart.


    "?!" Beelzebub''s expression morphed into pain as he saw an arm holding his heart. Then, the delicate, bloodied hand, crushed his heart to pieces.


    "NO!" Beelzebub screamed and then Chaos pushed her other arm through his body and ripped his entire body in half. Everyone watched as the Demon King of the Third Heaven, died!


    "Hahahaahahaha!" Chaosughed madly and turned to the shocked gods with a wink. "Disorder is the best, ain''t it?! What are you guys waiting for, lets kill them!"

 Chapter 706 The Tales Of White Online.

    "Oliver..." Isaac looked at the explosion. "So, this is how you wanted to go out? What a showoff."


    "I guess I can''t let your sacrifice go to waste." Isaac vanished into a glowing particles of green light and appeared inside the explosion. The sea of mes surrounded him with thick ck smoke.


    However, that didn''t bother him because he could still see perfectly around him.


    In the middle of the explosion, a charred skeleton was hovering lifelessly, the tips of his fingers slowly starting to have flesh.


    "Still alive, hmm." Isaac was impressed by Lucifer''s will to stay alive. Oliver''s body was already gone, and not even an ash of it would be discovered. He was truly gone.


    But Lucifer barely stayed alive.


    Isaac stopped before the skeleton and grabbed the skull with his palm. The skeleton was very durable, durable enough to survive that explosion. However, the explosion was nothingpared to his strength.


    With a tight squeeze, he shattered the skull, and the rest of the skeleton stopped moving. Demon King of the First Heaven, Lucifer, was dead just like that!


    Isaac then appeared out of the explosion and saw the Demon Kings and Lords barely resisting the all-out attacks of Primordial Gods.


    "Aghh!" Tartarus was sent flying backward from the White Paradise. He was chased by angry-looking Gaia. "W-wait, I surrender!"


    "Shut up!" Gaia smashed her fist across his face. Tartarus gritted his teeth in anger and summoned hundreds of the demonic gates. Heughed madly while Gaia looked wary.


    However, then hand burst through Tartarus'' chest.


    "E-eh..." Tartarus'' eyes shook as he turned around to look at the person who attacked him. Isaac stood calmly, his arm inside Tartarus'' body.


    "W-Who... the... hell..."


    Isaac pulled his hand away and kicked Tartarus towards Gaia. The beautiful goddess pulled out her sword and shed through Tartarus'' throat, beheading him with a swift strike. Tartarus fell down to the ground while slowly dying.


    Gaia sheathed her weapon and turned to Isaac with emotions shing across her eyes.


    Isaac smiled slightly and bowed at the goddess. "This is first time we met, right?"


    "Yes, it is." Gaia moved the long strands of silver hair out of the way of her eyes and revealed her inhumanly beautiful face.


    "Thank you for everything." Isaac spoke and ced his palm against his chest. "Without this legacy, I would have be powerless to do anything."


    "No..." Gaia shook her head. "I... no, we all need to thank you. Without you... we all would have died."


    In the air, Gaia softly kneeled, her palm gently touching her breasts. "We all... will always be indebted to you, Isaac Whitelock."


    Out of nowhere, all the soldiers of Stronglord army knelt on the ground with fists against their chests. Following that, all chain breakers, except Luna and Alice, kneeled. Luna and Alice looked at the scene with disbelief.


    Then Isaac saw the rest of the Demon Lords and Kings being killed. In each second, a gxy-level creatures were killed. After all of them died, the rest of the Primordial Gods and Gods knelt on the ground towards Isaac.


    Isaac sighed and turned to the dark sky and started slowly flying towards space.


    "Isaac, where are you going?" Gaia raised her chin, and the rest also looked towards the white-haired man.


    "There are still demons and certain someone... that need to be erased." Isaac softly smiled and looked across the sea of people, untilnding on Luna. She was screaming something at him with tears brimming in her ears. She was trying to tell Isaac something, and Isaac realized what after seeing her stomach, which looked like a normal, t stomach, but there was a new life blooming inside.<sub> </sub>


    "It''s a girl!" Isaac''s voice stunned Luna. "Our child is a girl."


    Luna''s eyes shook and tears fell down her face as she caressed her stomach softly with a smile.


    Isaac turned to the sky and vanished. He traveled across countless known and unknown universes. His journey to the center of the universe took a single day while the flying camera was still following him, with the view count already reaching hundreds of millions.


    Then, everyone watching, was frightened as Isaa arrived in a dark spot of the universe, where countless monsters lurked. They saw the pure red eyes and were frightened.


    Isaac casually entered the darkness and soon saw the pale-skinned man. He seemed to have been waiting for Isaac.


    Demon didn''t speak a word. Instead, he clenched his fist and released his punch.


    Isaac screamed and threw his own punch.


    As the two punches collided, all the dangerous creatures lurking in the darkness exploded, and this part of the multiverse vanished.


    At the nk void of space, Demon and Isaac fought, with each punch destroying universes. Their battle was witnessed by the entire human race. It was the longest month of the entire history until the fight finally ended in Isaac''s victory.


    Following Demon''s death, all the demons in all the multiverse were killed after their forefather died.


    ...


    Ten yearster.


    Wintend, Snowstar.


    Inside a cottage built on top of Snowstar Mountain, a young girl with beautiful white hair yed with dolls while humming merrily.


    "Ina?" Luna knocked on the door and looked gently at her daughter. She looked much more mature than ten years ago, but more beautiful than ever before.


    "Mommy, where is daddy?" Ina tugged the dolls away and hugged her mother while clinging to her leg.


    "He is writing, remember?" Luna patted her daughter''s head with a chuckle. "Come on, lets go make dinner."


    "He is again writing?" Ina pouted.


    "Hehe, he is writing a fairytale for you, the best one!" Luna gently squeezed Ina''s cheeks, causing her to pout.


    "R-Really?" Ina asked with her round eyes widening.


    "Yes, so let''s not disturb your daddy." Luna started to carry her daughter and walked out of the room.


    Inside a cozy-looking office, a firece was burning strongly.


    A handsome white-haired man scribbled on a book. Words "The Tales of White Online" appeared at the book cover and then, he turned the final page and started writing the final paragraphs.


    The current tale might have ended, but the world and universe was still full of mysteries, waiting to be discovered.


    The End.
