"This might be a joke." I attempted to calm myself with the false lies.
*Nope*
"I know... it's definitely a joke. I went on to play MNVrop in a carefree manner. I orated my fantasy novels but not one of them had killed to survive involved. I never thought that the protagonist had to kill someone to survive. Even if that were the case then that wouldn't make him the antagonist? That's way too cliché.
Whenever I became depressed, I play games. That will at least deviate my mind. I don't like being sad. I put on my VR and began playing. Most of the time I play with Max, my online buddy. He and I almost won the championship last year.
" Hey Max, how's going?"
"You, bro. Let's farm some loot. I'm really low on rare items. Have you heard about the Psychopaths?"
"Psychopaths.....Psychopaths...." I mumbled. "Nooo! I haven't!!"
I freaked out.
"Cool, bro. Why are you getting freaked out? It's not like you are one of them or you are?"
"Stop teasing me. I'm not gonna fall again for your cheap tricks." I said calmly but a bit pissed.
"So, I was saying that last night a psychopath attacked a next-door neighbor. That one was so damn scary. It still gave me goosebumps."
"Did you saw him?" I asked.
"No, I heard from them. They said he came to kill them, but they murdered him instead. What brave people! If I were with you there, I would certainly try to run away." Max said, proudly.
*Oh! Man, that's hilarious! Haha, they killed the psychopath! You want me to believe that and most of all he didn't saw any of those but believed it. What a fool! The physical strength of a psychopath is several times higher than humans. They can't even lay a scratch on him. Jodan, Give my thanks to him. This is the best I heard in a long time. Haha. *
However, I wasn't able to laugh at his story even if I try.
"On the right, that's it. Shoot him." I said Max as he was a few steps ahead of me." Bang! Bang!
< Victory >
"GG. (GG= Good Game) That's a great one. Though that psychoHunter65 guy head shoots me five times in a row. I think in real life, he is a psychopath. I already gave him a friend request. The way he shot me was out of the world. Check the loots. I hope we got some awesome items."
I thought who would
"Yeah, surely."
"Let's see. What we got." I said after that.
A transporter, two helices, and a rare item.
"Look a rare one."
" What's it called?"
"Caramelized gold necklace," I explained to him.
"Uhh! That's a pretty rare one. It gives the player three-plus damage bonus." Max said in excitement. He was more into games than me. As a gamer who plays more than twelve hours can certainly know everything about the game. He is a living guide.
"You can take it. I don't want that. I got enough armor already."
I gave him the necklace as I have more than good armors.
"Thanks, pal."
After that, we played until the sun rose. I found out that I still have some premium cup noodles that I bought at Christmas. They were at 50% sale. I hid them down my bed so that I didn't eat all at once. They are extremely delightful. I fall asleep playing in my chair.
Next day morning,
*Good Morning! You got some bad and good news. Which one do you want to hear first? I recommend the bad one.*
I don't scared now because it becomes of mine hearing his voice. "Okay, the bad one," I said while yawning. *The bad news is you got only twelve hours left to live. 'To live, kill!' The good news is your Daily Quest has been unlocked. Now you can level up as you complete the quest.*
I got up from bed, freshen up, took the diary in my hand, opened it.
< Name: Jodan>
< Status: Level 1> [ Ep :0\20]
< Manipulating Strength: Level 1>
Looks like the sections that were locked yesterday are now unlocked. Let's see, what are the daily quests. I flipped the pages.
[Daily Quest]
1. Go out. [ Exp: 5]
2. Meet with Jessica [ Exp: 5]
3. Spend 6 hours with her. [ Exp: 10 ]
4. [#$%&Blur+#-&] [ Exp: 100 ]
*Appeartly the Quest is centred around you. The system made them according to you.* "
What's wrong with this last one? Also, The exp is crazy high than the rest"
*Maybe it's gonna open when you complete the upper ones.*
"oh! That's pretty easy." I smiled but I felt a little discouraged. My communication level is worst than me. In my school life, I rarely talk to anyone. Because I always made everyone uncomfortable. Once Peter said, "If you stay like this, you're gonna become a sociopath and that's the first sign of becoming a psychopath."
I made up my mind, I have to do it. Or else I'll always stay like a weak. I puffed my chest and head toward the door. As soon as I hold the handle to open the door. I heard the sound of a calling bell. Who will have come to my house? I have already paid the rent. Peter went on a family trip, he can't come back this soon. I moved my face near the keyhole. A magnificent girl wearing a magenta-colored dress can be seen. I was astounded to see someone. I opened the door, who wants to make a beauty wait for that long.
Now I get to see the face. It was Jessica, she was wearing nice clothing. "Oah, Hi! Nice meeting again. You look pale" I also made a 'hi' sign but didn't make eye contact due to embarrassment. "I'm new here so I don't know where's the supermarket is." It would be really kind of you to company me." "S- sure" I shattered a bit. I also changed my clothes because those are unwashed for a week. We left my apartment and headed down by the lift.
