RING! For the first time since the heartbreaking incident 10 days ago, Aunt Yuma finally called. “Hiro, where are you? Are you no longer living in Yuujin’s apartment?” Hiro wasn’t surprised at all if his aunt didn’t know that he had been kicked out from Yuujin’s apartment. “I have moved out.” He lied. “You moved out? Why didn’t you tell me, you stubborn brat!” “Why do you call, Aunt Yuma? It’s unusual for you to contact me.” “The security’s apartment called me, he…-

Hiro decided to walk back to his bed and sit in the corner after receiving a mysterious message from Anonymous directly to his android bracelet. Suddenly, he became anxious and started to wonder how Anonymous could get his contact number. “Did he hack my number?” Very cautiously, he reactivated the VPN and then logged into TOR to check the page on the conspiracy theory of his brother’s death one more time. He read the comments he had left there, but it was still left unanswered. For a moment, he…

Even though this was the second kiss, Hiro’s heart still screamed from within his chest. He really couldn’t control his increasing heart rate and he was sure that the sound of his heartbeat could now be heard by Liberty who was closing her eyes tightly when he kissed her. Ignoring that, Hiro focused both his eyes on admiring Liberty’s flawless beauty. Her skin was so beautiful, it didn’t have the slightest flaw as if the girl wasn’t human. Still kissing her with tightly pursed lips, Hiro…

After Hiro announced it, silence reigned between them. Even though Liberty has no idea where he came from, the word ‘murder’ attached to the name of a relative certainly sounds dark, “Yuujin, did someone really try to kill you?” Meanwhile, Hiro was conflicted, and his mind was in chaos. He could not believe it, he refused to believe it. However, no matter how hard he tried to deny it, the evidence points to the fact that the murder of his sibling really did happen. He saw how Yuujin became such…

Hiro jolted awake from his sleep. It was a nightmare. His body was drenched in cold sweat. His heart was beating fast and his throat was dry. Hiro immediately took a sip of mineral water which was always ready on the wooden table near his bed before immediately checking his android bracelet. From the window in the room, the sunlight was back. 9 AM. “A nightmare.” Hiro pulled his hair to ensure that he was fully awake from that scary yet weird dream. He was trying his best to control his breath…

Yuujin was standing in front of Hiro near the corner of his bed. He was wearing a gray T-shirt and knee-length shorts labeled Adidas, flexing his perfectly proportioned body. For as long as Hiro knew him, Yuujin’s daily wear at home had always been like this. However, he was now in Hiro’s apartment. No matter how many times Hiro looked around, this was definitely his cheap apartment room, the same room where he previously fell asleep. Even his android bracelet was in the same condition he left it,…

Hiro logged out of the game again to find out more about the information muddling his train of thought. The night was getting darker. The cold air in the early December of Tokyo seeped into his room as he swiped his skinscreen to check Ninecent’s site for information about the CBT. However, even after an hour of searching every page of the site, he didn’t find any information. There wasn’t even any mention of the CBT version. It was as if it didn’t exist. ‘Am I hallucinating? No way……

Hiro took off his VR equipment and stretched his sore muscles. After feeling a little better, he headed straight to the kitchen to heat the frozen food he got from the supermarket owner, Kira, free of charge. After just 15 minutes, the delicious-looking shrimp dim sum was piping hot with thin hot vapor, ready to eat. Hiro put the plate of dim sum on the table and, without waiting for a second longer, began to happily enjoy the hot dim sum. ‘Relax, Hiro, you’re going to be rich soon. Just wait a…

Five hours flew by and the sun had begun to show itself in the sky above Beginner Town. Even so, Hiro was still preoccupied with slashing the monstrous tree trunk that was slowly getting thinner. Just a little more. Just a little more and it would finally be chopped down. He was confident in his ability and kept hacking and slashing the tree until morning had begun to rise. And— BANG! At last, the gigantic tree’s trunk was broken and it fell backward onto other innocent trees behind it. Exhausted…

It was a quest with a simple, yet intriguing explanation. Even though he was sweating all over from the evening exercise, it was worth it as he was rewarded with a rare quest drop. Hiro walked toward Liberty, who was deeply asleep in a sitting position. He didn’t know what she was dreaming about, but her brows were slightly furrowed and her lips were frowning a little. “You’re going to get wrinkles fast if you sleep like this, Princess.” He couldn’t help himself. She was just too adorable,…
