"Hmmm..."
"We... Got a lot of loot huh..."
"Indeed we are... How many tickets did you get, Exu? And how many Levels did you get?"
Currently, we're on our way toward the realm of demon. Because from this raid, I officially reached level one hundred. And I requested that she brought me there to prepare for something... And now, I should tell her how much level I gain.
"For the tickets, I got three. And for levels, I reached level one hundred. That's why I want you to bring me to the Demon Realm."
"Hoo? Have you gotten a special quest for changing race already? What did you choose? Demon like me?"
"Yes, I have gotten the quest for changing Race. I was given two choice. A Unique Race that is Demon, and another Unique Race that is Dragonoid. Of course, because Demon is specialized in Magic, and Dragonoid focused more on Physical Damage, I decided to become the Dragonoid."
"Ooh! That's fun! When I was starting out, I was also given that two choice. Well, along with more common one. Also, I reached Level two hundred... I can advance in my Race now too."
Oya? You can advance more in the class tree? Let's see... If normal Demon already gotten two very good skill with Unique Rarity that is 'Absolute Fire Affinity' that raises the power of their Fire Magic significantly, and 'Demon Blood' that increases the recovery rate of their Mana by a lot...
What can the next race brings her? Would she finally get the first Legendary Skill? I think so.
While for me, Dragonoid offers 'Absolute Wind Affinity' that raises my Wind Magic ability by a lot. And I guess I will be able to use Wind Magic to buff myself up. So, it's not that bad. And the other ability is you guess it, 'Dragon Blood' which increases the recovery rate of my Health. It's basically gives me more regeneration so that I can be a very effective front line. And I don't hate it.
"Can you tell me more about the quest that you're about to do?"
"Dragonoid Change Quest? Sure! The first thing I need to do is to gather Three Dragon's Heart and go to the house in the hill of 'Forbidden Tempest' in order to get the Dragon's Heart, I need to go to the area called the Erupta. Do you know where that is?"
I look at Belian hoping for her guidance... But her face turns awkward like 'Uuuuh... That's a bit harsh'.
"Hm?"
Of course, I know that looks. And it turns my face into an awkward face like 'Did I mess up?' since judging from her face, I messed up.
"Well... Forbidden Tempest is a neutral area. So you should be fine going there. Since there's no NPC there, I guess it's just an automatic trigger. But the Dragon's Heart though... Erupta is one of the Hardest area to go in and out off in the Demon Realm. Because the monster there is level One hundred Fifty onwards. There's a lot of Dragon for sure, but it's hard to clear."
"Huh? Then about being a Demon... How hard is it?"
Since both Demon and Dragonoid is in the same category, not to mention, they're basically the opposite of each other, the quest to change should be easier.
"The thing is... There's a lot more Demon NPC than Dragonoid NPC. Dragonoid is a very rare breed after all. Although the tier of Demon and Dragonoid is the same, Dragonoid is harder to come by. So, it's easier being a demon than being a Dragonoid."
"I see... But I don't think that I make the wrong decision though. In this party where there's only the two of us, we have a lot of roles to cover. And I will be covering the entirety of the frontlines so that you don't need to worry."
"Buuu~ What's with that sweet words of yours~ You make me happy~"
"Well, it's my job to make you happy."
"Fufufu~ You're a very caring boyfriend indeed. Anyway. Just believe in your instinct. If you believe in your choice, you won't be disappointed. During my time playing as a Demon, I never even once thought about regretting my decision picking Demon than Dragonoid. Because my instinct told me that I would enjoy Demon more."
She's right. Trusting your instinct is one of the best way to have fun in game. There's a fine line that we need to walk on if we want to have the best experience. That line is between Having Fun and Being Sweaty.
If you can get serious but still have fun, that's the best experience. Of course, there will be time where I just want to have fun without being serious, but that time will come in PVP time. Where I will be trolling whoever I'm facing off against.
Anyway, we reached the portal to Demon Realm. That only those who is either a Demon or Dragonoid can enter. Of course, since I already choose what I want to become, the system registered me as Dragonoid already. But, as an 'Incomplete'.
"Alright. Let's stop here for a bit. You know what we should do right? Exu?"
"Of course. It's Gacha Time."
We prepared to enter the portal to the Demon Realm... But, as we're trying to gacha...
"Hmm~ Isn't that Belian?"
I heard some random male voice... And following that male voice, a marching of what I think a massive group of party...
"Hm? Who's that guy beside you?"
"... Insaneman."
I look at the two individual. I ignore the party behind the one who's called the Insaneman. And immediately messaged Belian.
(Enemy?)
(Yeah. He's my so called Rival. He's an annoying little piece of shit that bothers me whenever he sees me)
I see... So he's a parasite that's been hanging around Belian...
I stand up and stare Insaneman down without hesitation. Of course, he got startled from my stare. Because my stare is not saying something like 'Hey, We don't want to fight, so don't provoke us.' Instead, it's 'If you really have the balls, then let's go at it bastard.'
And also, I stare him not as a player. But as a man. If he dares to touch Belian. Then I'll find him until the end of earth.
"W-W-What's with this bastard? How can a level one hundred player release a natural pressure like this?"
"Don't you know, Man's job is to protect their loved one... Try to bother Belian again you son of a bitch! I will make sure you stop playing this game entirely!"
I take my stance and immediately start a fight...
"Y-You all! Kill him!"
The moment I heard that... I swing my hand forward and stagger everyone's using Spatial Rupture... And then, I use Flicker to immediately go on top of Insaneman.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Belian's real life boyfriend. Exu."
I slam my Star Extinction Down and shreds everyone down to dead... Their scream of agony is all that's left... I flickered back toward Belian and immediately tone down my intensity.
"Whoooh... That felt good..."
"Good job~ I really want to kill him ever since the first day of playing this game. But, I don't want to be overwhelmed. So, thank you for protecting me..."
I can see that Belian's blushing... So cute... I pat her head and immediately said...
"Belian... I will protect you... In game, or in Real life. Rely on me more, okay?"
"Okay... I will rely on you more, Exu."
The two of us sat down once again and finally, start our Gacha.
