Chapter 36 - Morning of the Third Day

"Sigh."

The brothers were in front of the TV. They looked too gloomy compared to the clear weather outside.

Today was the third day of the game. A day that was supposed to be the opening day of a new trial to the Mainland.

Since a global achievement announced yesterday, most of the early players have successfully transmigrated to their respective cities based on each continent.

"I am sorry. I didn't expect that."

"No one can expect that actually."

Viro was apologizing to his brother. He curled up on the couch. Buried his chin on his knees.

On TV, there was a heated discussion going on. The background took place was really familiar to the brothers.

"Sigh."

Once again, Arie let out a sigh. Viro who heard that only buried his chin deeper.

"It's fortunate that my fashion from head to toe doesn't weird at all. How do you think of mine when you see it at first?"

Arceede continued with the talk to soften the atmosphere. Somehow he felt guilty looking at his little brother like that.

"Yes, you really look like any ranger out there. How about that weapon? Is it an inventor's?"

"Yes and no. It's really fortunate, right?"

"Uhum. Can you tell me how?"

The talk continued with Arie explained his trial attempt. Viro's expression gradually brightened throughout the conversation.

After quite a time passed, they couldn't deny the TV that was still on and showed the highlight of the past event.

Viro's focus couldn't help but shift to it. He changed the conversation to it now. It seemed like he was more comfortable with the situation.

"So, how can someone found you?" Viro pointed to a group that showed on TV.

"There's always a fanatic in a community. Can't help it."

"But, does it make sense? Arceede was a name that should only be heard among us two."

"Nope, they didn't hear it. Obviously."

"Then? Do they decipher it? That instant?"

"There is always that fanatic you can't handle with mere logic, Vi."

"Well.. you know.. that.. that doesn't make sense at all."

Viro seemed exhausted with the current flow of the conversation. He could not understand what just happened in the slightest. He could only counter it with more arguments.

"Okay then. This all the time you surfed on the internet, even when you became a celebrity, what name did you use? Insignifikant. The name you stole from me. The other is your DICE ID, Ricesseal. How can someone connected that both names into Arceede? Tell me."

"One, I did not steal it. Yours is Insignificant, with C. While mine with K. Two, Fanatic. I bold and underline it. Who knows what happened."

"Geez."

Viro still could not accept the discussion. He could only move on to the more important topic.

"Then, what will happen to you now? If that "fanatic" really is a "fanatic", can you play the game? That "fanatic" is your biggest hater or the like, am I right?"

The screen on TV showed chaos among the plain green area. The sunlight rose slowly, the movement almost could not be seen with the naked eye. It shared its light with all ecosystems beneath the hill.

"You know what, his skills were really good."

Arie focused on TV, it looked like he was avoiding Viro's question.

"So what? Do you want to recruit him? Don't avoid me, he is your hater, right?"

Under the high pressure from Viro's gaze, he could only give up.

"It seems like it. I know how proactively he spread hate towards me. But, don't have a blind eye. I am the one at fault, right?"

"Ugh.. but still. How can people acted like that?"

"Fa-na-tic."

"Ugh absurd. Is it money? If it is about money, I can accept it."

"Who knows. It's better to accept it like that. I can also be called a thief too. From a certain perspective, I really stole their money."

"Sigh."

The topic just ended again with Viro's sigh this time. The chaos showed from a perspective of a streamer still going on.

The streamer was an authorized person from the channel. It was a beastkin with a cat face that acted as a reporter of the event. He recorded it through the floating camera near him.

"Well, his skills are really good. It's cool with this censor on TV. The uncensored version was really awful."

"Hahaha."

That was an honest laugh coming from Arie. The chaos showed on TV was really full of beep sound.

The running text written on TV was about 'chaos between three directions that erupted on a Sizzeria Hill'. Though in reality, the two brothers watching could say that it was entirely wrong.

Dozens of Demonic Apes with 2 group of party VS 3 combined party.

About 20 combined total of monsters and players VS 9 of their group.

"You know what, because of this, I can directly find out the quality scouted by Berd and Harden."

"Yep, they are amazing. And I am pretty sure they will talk the same thing about yours."

"Well, Ilya is an Lv 34 Knight, you know."

"That's not the point actually, but still... umm well, we advance at Lv 30?"

"Yeah, she said so. Your skill will be deleted, you know? If you pick Summoner."

"Ah yes, it's a shame. Well, 11 golds won't last long later in the game."

"So you sure to pick it?"

"Should be. Ensne is my spiritual summon, you know? I can't abandon him."

"I have a gift if you advance to it, but don't force yourself. I can use it myself or sell it after all."

"Ah! That unique item? That settles it then. I will be Spirit Summoner. How about you?"

"Sigh."

With a sigh, Arie was having a distant view of his eyes. Based on his hypothesis, he would reach level 30 before Foreln could officially announce the class.

"I will fill the role needed when I reach it, Vi. The 4 branches seem versatile enough to pick."

"Well, yes. It's not the main problem for now, isn't it?"

Nod.
