I was standing in the vast platform. There were hundreds of people around me. They were from various races, some were humanoid, while some were alien-like. There were even some races I encountered along my journey. Such as an Otherworldly Demon from Library of Heaven's Path World. (Alien race once threat the destroy the human kind and enslaved them.)
As I was training at the Holy Land of the Crow's, after the deadline was over, a warm feeling started to surround me. A holy light descended from the heavens, and a nostalgic feeling started to draw me in. It was very similar to the feeling I felt when I died at my first life. Next thing I know, I was standing in the middle of the platform.
"All Esteemed Champions, welcome to the Upper Realm. You are on the Sixth Floor of the Upper Realm at the moment." A voice started to sound in the air. It was a beautiful female voice akin to the sound of the violin. It had a melodious ring in it.
"The Seventh floor of the Upper Realm belongs to The Community, all champions are free to visit. All of the Esteemed Champions are provided with an accommodation on the Sixth Floor, please do not stay anywhere else, as long as your masters don't state otherwise.
The First, Second and Fourth floors are forbidden to enter. They belong to the Aristocracy, Desolates and the Admirers respectively. And the Gods don't want you to bother them!" With this sentence suddenly the voice of the female got colder as if in the middle of the violin solo, one of the strings of the violin snapped.
"With the System Currency's you gathered in your journeys, you can stay at the Third Floor if you wish to do so." the female continued with the warm female voice.
"You can all chose to stay here, or can go to the other places as you wish I mentioned earlier. But if you are not staying on those floors, return to the Sixth Floor before midnight, or you will be punished, except for the third floor."
'What a bitch!' I was so mad, because the attitude she had reminded me that bitch from Shop God, and the words she chose were condemning us like cockroaches.
"Don't get angry, brother. Most of the Gods are too prideful. Do you remember the time you reincarnated? Did you see the Deaf God back then?" Crow asked me.
'No. It was pitch black and I could only hear that stupid God.' I answered as I thought of that day. It has really been a long time since then. At that time I was drifting in the darkness, and I could only hear that stupid God's voice.
"Deaf God probably didn't create eyes for you to see him at that time. Gods, especially The Aristocracy and the Admirers are too prideful. Desolates, on the other hand, wouldn't stoop so low to deal with other races. Even they did with the Brotherhood of Steel was shocked me, I never would think desolates would count on others, yet they failed, and they will not do the same mistake again." Crow summarized the things to me.
'So that is how it is.' As I was having a conversation with Crow and had an ugly expression on my face because of the things I heard earlier, all the champions around me started to look at me. I could see laughter in their eyes. I didn't know how and why all these people were looking at me, but at that moment a voice drifted over to my ears.
"You are the one got beaten by the Gold Coin. That is why they are looking at you." It was a male voice. I turned around to find the source but to no avail. After a moment I noticed a fatty with different eyes then the rest of the group. His eyes weren't laughing but had a pitty in them, and his hand made a small 'come' gesture.
"I am talking with you through telepathy. Are you even incapable of doing it?" he asked me.
"I can do it," I said with telepathy. What is wrong with these people. All mighty and arrogant.
I started to walk toward the Fatty and stood near him. He started to walk away and I walked by him.
"Don't walk near me. Follow me from behind," he said with worry.
'Damn you bastard!' Was he ashamed of associating with me?
After a few minutes, we reached the platform. Over the platform, there was an alien language, but in just a few seconds I was able to read it. 'Teleportation Station.'
Fatty stood on it and looked at me. I guess this was my sign to walk beside him, so I did. Fatty said 'Third Floor' as my view changed. All of a sudden I was at the bustling city. There were millions of people walking everywhere. Fatty already left the platform and was looking at me, but with the shock I received, I was frozen. Some of the people started to shout at me.
"Leave the platform already, dumbass! We have places to go!" I jolted with the sudden scolding and left the platform to follow Fatty. I was still walking behind him, but he slowed down to come by my side. "Sorry about my earlier actions, but there were too many admirers champion among the group. Thus I didn't want them to look for trouble with me, as they are going to do with you," said Fatty with a mourning expression. As if I was already dead. I just rolled my eyes and looked around.
"Are you even have enough money to be here? I am guessing this place is expensive." I asked the Fatty. This was the Third Floor of the Upper Realm, place where rich scions were staying and it ought to be expensive right? Crow told me only the last group of people were staying here.
"It is not as expensive as you think, just because of the Contrarians staying in here. (Contrarians are the rich scions, the group do nothing but have the money to stay on the third floor all the time. Crow mentioned them as a fifth group.) It is very expensive for the commoners you see around you, but it is affordable for us. Well, at least for me. I sold all my item below the Divine level before I was summoned." Fatty told me. Something was strange. As if he read my mind, not once but twice.
At the gathering, he told me why everybody was looking at me, now he said that it wasn't that expensive just because Contrarians were staying here, but I didn't say that out loud.
"I can read the hearts to some extent. I can read clearly you are thinking about how I can read your mind. Don't worry, I can't read you pervert mind, I can just see your heart." said Fatty to clear the things for me. It was still shocking, but at least he wasn't able to read my mind.
As we were talking and walking, Fatty stopped after he finished his sentence and looked at the house ahead of us. "We came!" he said and showed me the pink villa. It was simple, yet beautiful. I read the sign but still wasn't able to see through what villa was serving. 'Endless Treasure Trove.
"What is this place?" I asked with a frown.
"It is a brothel. Come, let me treat you."
