Hiro focused on gobbling up the steaming hot plate of okonomiyaki in front of him without returning Alice’s gaze watching him while leaning on the kitchen table. “Thank you for the food,” Hiro genuinely said from the bottom of his heart. Without waiting for Alice to tell him to, he quickly stood up to wash the dinnerware and flatware he used out of habit. After sleeping for three hours and eating the delicious food that indulged his stomach, Hiro decided to get back to work, logging in to the game…-

Despite being fully asleep, Alice gripped Hiro’s wrist with quite a lot of force. Who knew where she got that much strength in her sleep. Sleeptalking? Or is it a nightmare? Hiro didn’t know which one was happening to the person he just moved onto the bed. “Yuujin, please don’t go. I don’t trust them,” Alice continued to sleeptalk. Her long and sharp nails scratched Hiro’s hand and caused him to wince in pain. Still, he intentionally didn’t wake her up. He wanted to know, what was she…

“Where have you been, Hiro?!” Jacob just finished taking a shower. He was wrapping his waist with a thick towel when Hiro came into his house without knocking on the door, as if the man already thought of it as his own home. “Good morning, Jake,” Hiro replied without giving any explanation. The drowsiness had returned, and he felt his body was getting weak. He needed to logout immediately and had a good sleep before login to the game again at the promised time with the leader of the Immortal…

From the middle of the night until the sun showed its golden light at the end of the horizon, Hiro was grinding against night-type monsters while trying his new skill. His new skill made him really enjoy his level up. So far, the awakening sword combo skill could only be used up to 15 combos because the level was still low. Even so, using the awakening skill made Hiro’s damage increase drastically even only at the first combo stack of x2 or x3. However, the problem was that his energy was drained much…

All of Hiro’s senses started working again. However, he felt something different. The pain that previously overtook his entire body had been replaced by a tranquil feeling. Moreover, he felt as if his energy had been completely replenished. He was still lying on the wooden floor while looking at the room ceiling. His body felt a little strange. Not only that, but his left hand also felt weird, a little like being burned with cold fire. Hiro checked his left hand, and… Something was there. The back…

That night, Hiro once again stayed the night at Jacob’s abode. Jacob, the homeowner, didn’t find it burdensome at all. Not only did he not mind, but he was also more than happy to let Hiro stay as it meant he wouldn’t be alone in the large building. Hiro lied down on the single bed in the bedroom. He wasn’t feeling sleepy yet, but he also had no intention of grinding for EXP or LSC in the middle of the night like usual. That day, Hiro felt exhausted due to the lack of rest, but he also didn’t…

Bang! Bang! Bang! Hiro banged loudly on the door to Jacob’s house. It was so loud that it seemed to vibrate from his place. Since leaving the secret dungeon, Liberty hadn’t woken up yet. He had waited for her to wake up, but after a while, the girl didn’t show a sign of waking up. Finally, Hiro decided to take her to Jacob’s house because there was no other place for him to stay in the game for now. “Hiro?! What are you—holy shit! What happened to her?!” Jacob appeared with a sleepy…

Meanwhile… A very important meeting was being held in a circular room that had steel walls surrounding it. The walls were tightly closed to keep the information from being leaked out. They prioritized security more than anything. “Excellent strategy, Dr. Johnson. You’re really a genius.” A man dressed in a suit with a long gold tie gave a round of applause, which was greeted by other people in the room. There were over fifteen people sitting on a luxurious and comfortable sofa. And as a tribute…

Tap! Tap! Tap! Hiro decided to run instead of having to slash the monster that was using Liberty’s body, face, even voice. He was running away from a monster for the first time in his life in the LSO world. This monster was quite cunning. It really played with Hiro’s mentality and beat him with the best attack ever. Monsters with artificial intelligence that could think in such cunning ways were far more terrifying than the boss monsters Hiro had faced so far. Hiro was back in search of the real…

Hiro and Liberty were teleported when they entered the bubble between the giant trees. It turned out there was a hidden portal to The Cursed Witch Lair’s dungeon. The feeling of being pulled back, then crammed into a narrow tube, made Hiro feel sick and ached all over his body. He felt like experiencing the pain two times for this teleportation. Hiro couldn’t even feel Liberty’s grip anymore. It was as if some great invisible force was trying to force the two of them apart, and it worked. Only the…
