''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! ''Haaah!'' The balls slipped from his hand. They bounced on the ground before coming to a stop. Isaac's heart raced. It was a total gamble, and there was…-

"Ah." Isaac was lying on top of rock debris. His back was bent in a way that seemed rather uncomfortable. 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 glanced behind him and saw the pile of rocks that didn't make his landing soft. He grimaced and slowly…

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 accurate. 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…

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…

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 the large 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…

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 blade 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. Clank! 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…

Isaac pulled the guns away from their holsters. He held them beside his waistline. The magazines already placed on them. His fingers grazed the trigger. His palms became sweaty. Crack! The third wave of the puppets commenced. 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…

''Spellcaster…'' Isaac's mouth curved upwards. He had always wanted to test other classes. The Swordsman didn't interest him, but Spellcaster was whole another deal. Beside other Shooter classes, 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, replaced 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…

A shimmer of sunlight peeked through the open door. With a large 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. A large party was…

80000… 81000… 82000… The Swordsman on the screen was overwhelmed by the endless wave of puppets. The screen became red, and hallow text covered half of it. The standing man flinched and fluttered his eyes open. He needed a second to recover his composure 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…
