"Hmm . . . I know that I felt something strange . . ." Brighid. Brighid came into the light and walked towards me, hips swaying left and right before she stopped just inches from where I stood. How long was she there? I didn't even notice her presence. "I thought I felt something in the air, but who knew that it was just the noob guy who's throwing out gil?" There was no sign of ridicule in her voice nor from her serious face. It was like she was merely stating a fact. I released a silent breath when…-

I didn't reply and only stared at the kid who was peacefully sleeping on the bed. No. What fun would it be if I destroyed this town in a single night? I wiped away the tears in my eyes, feeling disgusted for my other self. I was not surprised, though. Leave it to him to create problems that he couldn't resolve. And now I was stuck in this room with this . . . RAGE that sought to end all those who wronged this kid and me, or I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. System. Do you have a quest that…

Two days passed like a blur, and my situation got worse. All kinds of people were coming at me and asking me for money to the point of threatening and blackmailing me. Because of that, I spent most of my time in bed, and if not for Thomas bringing me food, I would pass out from hunger. Of course, I gave Thomas money for that. And now our role got reversed. Instead of me taking care of him, he was taking care of me. In just a matter of one day, everything flipped, and I was stuck in my room, avoiding…

The three snickered, and they even knocked their knuckles with each other like they hit the jackpot. "Nothing much. Since you're rich, then give us ten thousand gil each to seal our lips." "Ten thousand?" my eyes widened with fake surprise. "I don't have that kind of money," I denied. With all the lies I had made, I was beginning to get the hang of this. The three looked at each other, whispering with one another like they were in an important meeting. "Alright," player one said after their short…

As I roamed my eyes, I saw the different representatives of every city and kingdom from the VIP block. Brighid, Demeter, and Edward's eyes were all on Jin, Lina, and Amara. Their eyes were like a hawk, looking for their victims. The other players were trying their best to catch their attention, but their efforts were all in vain, though. Those three powerhouses only had an eye for those BUG players. Even if they danced naked in there, they won't catch their attention. I ignored it. The sad fact was…

I was back in the dorms without any problems and still found that Thomas was curled on his bed. "Thomas?" I called him. When there was no response, I let him be. Maybe he was asleep. I placed the food on the table and went to bed as well. I closed my eyes, hoping for a quick nap. I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep because of the things that were bugging my mind, but the moment my back lay on the mattress and with a full tummy, not to mention the fair weather, I slept like a log. When I came too,…

I saw Amara and her group together with Edward and his supporters, and I literally squatted on the ground without thinking. There were decorative wooden panels that separated the table from another table, and I thanked god for the large vase that hid my body. "Are you okay?" I heard Mr. Got, and I knew even without looking at him that he was raising his bushy brow and staring at me like I was crazy. "I-I'm fine. I'll order what I ordered yesterday. You can go now," I said while still peeking at Amara…

I turned and saw Thomas sitting on his bed. He looked concerned. "Are you okay? You look like you've eaten something rotten. Your face is so pale." I nodded and forced a smile. At least I felt better when I finally saw the kid back in the dorms, safe and sound. "Yeah, I'm fine," I said and asked him, "I have been searching for you in school. Where did you go after your class was over? It was only a whim, and I really wasn't really in the right mind to ask that question. I expected Thomas to answer with…

When the class was over, Teacher Fey raced against the students from the door. She was the first to get out of the room, and this was the first time that I saw a teacher do so. Usually, it was the teacher who remained behind and went out last. I didn't mind it and quickly went to the next room where Thomas had his lecture but found the room already empty. Did their class finish first than ours? It would be possible if their teacher was on time, unlike with ours. I half ran back to the dorms, hoping to…
