Sato had finished his report just in time for dinner. The housemaids had already prepared everything for the boy which made him feel guilty. He felt like he was abusing Gray's power to receive free amenities.
"Thank you for cooking this meal for me." Sato thanked Ms Paula who came out with the food.
"It is my duty to cook food for the Young Master and his guests. No need to be too courteous, Mr Sato." Paula said to Sato politely.
The housemaids had prepared an array of dishes for Sato. There was two stirfried vegetable dishes, 2 meat dishes and a soup. It was too much, even for a growing man like Sato.
When eating the food, Sato couldn't help but make light moans of satisfaction. The dishes were on par with Gray's cooking, maybe even better. What he didn't know was that the housemaids were trained to cook at an extremely high level, contending with even Michelin star chefs!
The unfinished food was brought away after Sato left the dining table. Taking a shower, Sato thought back through the past week. The things he had never experienced or seen before were numerous. That week flew by like a bullet train and he was anticipating for more to come.
Sato left the toilet with only a long black pants on. He felt extremely comfortable in his current room as he laid on his soft cosy bed for a while. There was 30 minutes before the War event on ROL starts.
"Gray is probably still busy with the trojan in the system." Sato thought back to Gray. "He would not be home in time to join the starting of the war I guess."
Although Sato cared more about Gray's current situation, he could not help, but be dissapointed in his absence. After all, Sato was still a young adult that wanted to have some fun with his friends, especially when it came to play ROL with Gray. The times that he gamed with Gray were anything but boring. He wanted to progress on this quest with his boss/friend.
Well let's just play the war out first, Sato decided. The war mission was going to continue on until there was a clear victor between the two factions. Players that weren't able to be online at the start of the war is still able to join during the war. However, those that play from the start is able to rake up more contribution points.
Sitting in the Gaming Pod, Sato's mind assimilated to the virtual world of Ronan. The dark skies in the normal world had changed into warm rays of sunlight in the virtual world. The world had just become morning and more and more players are rallying in the respective warring cities.
Players could be seen gathering outside the trade center and potion shop as they made their last minute preparations. Sato didn't particularly have much to buy. Whitie, Sato's White Tiger pet, followed it's owner, moving through the shadows of the undead city. They swiftly ascended the walls of a random tall building.
The class, Assassin allowed the players to have greater agility in general, making it easier to climb things. In the case of walls, making use of the video game assist, it allowed Sato to make it to the roof tops without too much difficulty.
Sato walked towards the edge of the building. He sat on the ledge calmly, unafraid of the fall. Whitie being the loyal pet, laid on the ground beside Sato. Sato gently stroked the tiger's back as it purred softly. The atmosphere was peaceful.
Sato loved Ray Of Light for this specific reason. The level of freedom in this game cannot be compared to other games. Not just that, the realism factor is truly out of this world. It was like real life without the pains and struggles of surviving in this cut-throat society.
...
On the other hand, in the human faction, a group of players were grouped together as they awaited the in-game notifications to sound. The group was well-equipped and higher level than the normal players. The team leader stood in the center with a female player. She dressed rather skimpily with a short skirt and a tight fit white crop-top that accentuated her chest. Her equipment was definitely not suited for war.
"Big brother Tyron... How long more do we have to wait for?" A girl wrapped herself around the arm of the Team leader, Tyron. Her breasts squeezed Tyron's arms as the horny young man felt like he was about to spurt blood out of his nose.
"Not for long, sweetheart. Not for long." Tyron pacified the girl. He had found the girl gamer recently and had made her his E-girlfriend. Tyron would buy her anything she wanted in-game, essentially becoming her sugar daddy.
"I want to go shopping after! Promise me Big brother Tyron!" The girl swung his arm around while making sure to keep her virtual chest clasped on Tyron's arm.
"Yes yes, sweetheart. I will take you shopping after winning this war!" Tyron agreed to anything his girlfriend wanted, "So just wait patiently ok?"
The teammates of Tyron cringed hopelessly as they witnessed everything that went on. This was exactly the guild team that Sato was previously in, the RoyalKnights Guild. The way that Tyron cutely spoke was too much for Ming. He had stepped away from his team as he decided to text Sato to ask about his situation.
"Hey Sato," Sato had told Ming that he would be joining the Undead Faction in this war. "Are you ready for the war?"
"Yeah, I guess? How is it on your side, Ming?
"Well... Tyron is off goofing with girls again." Ming complained. "We probably would be tasked to protect her too during this mission."
"That is pretty normal for him..."
"Is your benefactor playing the game with you?" Ming asked curiously.
"Gray?" Sato thought for a bit, "He may come on a little later. He's at work right now."
Just as they were talking, the in-game notification sounded for the crowd of players in the respective cities.
"The Battle of Paleta City will commence in 30 seconds. May all the players joining in the mission be present in their respective cities. Any player that did not accept the mission previously, will be teleported outside the fight zone."
