"Something's wrong?" She asks with confused eyes.
But Isaac immediately shakes his head and continues to quietly eat his steak with greed.
Nohhah's eyes began having traces of suspicion in them when she saw Isaac's abnormal silence.
After five minutes, Isaac finally finishes the dish that he could have finished in just a few bites.
"Thank you, it was delicious." He speaks with difficulty after wiping his mouth with the handkerchief folded next to his plate.
"...Are you sure you're doing well? You look all tense all of a sudden." Nohhah speaks in a disturbing tone.
'I could easily have guessed that she was worried about me if I hadn't seen these notifications instead. Finally, it's time to know her goal.' Isaac murmured in his mind.
"I...to be honest with you, I don't feel well," Isaac speaks in the same tone as the previous one.
At that moment, he could perceive a small vibrant smile on Nohhah's lips after she heard his words.
[Your passive skill has been activated.]
[You resisted the submission effects.]
[You have resisted the effects of spiritual confusion.]
Seeing these three notifications on his tab, Isaac suddenly gets up and staggered towards his bed like a drunkard who had a hangover.
"Ugh!" He sits on the bed while massaging his temples as if he had just had a fierce headache.
Seeing his pained look, Nohhah's eyes became more agitated. She approaches him, kneeling next to him.
At the same time, Isaac could notice his magic points falling as if he had just been affected by the curse of Anubis.
With these last actions of Nohhah, Isaac's last doubts flew away with them.
-Ackh!
He grabs Nohhah by the throat and lifts her on tiptoe with dark eyes.
"What is...?
"You had a lot of fun with my magic points." Isaac interrupts her with a sadistic smile on his lips.
Nohhah's eyes briefly undulate with surprise. But she immediately resumed her staging. "Sir... Isaac, what does this mean? Why are you assaulting me suddenly!?" She speaks in a deep voice with surreal rage.
"Ah, it's true; everything was strange from the beginning." Isaac expresses himself in a sober tone without releasing her; but seeing that she had trouble speaking, Isaac loosens his grip on his throat.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but you'll risk big problems if you don't release me!" Nohhah takes advantage of Isaac's moment of hesitation to profane threats.
Isaac had a sneering smile on his lips in the face of her threats. But in the end, he frees her.
Simultaneously, Nohhah flashes in front of him and appears in front of the door; her speed was so fast that she gave the impression of teleporting.
But just before she touches the wrist of the door, her body is tetanized with dread; feeling Isaac's cold blade under her throat.
"Touch this wrist and you'll lose your fingers. No, you may lose more than a few fingers." He murmurs behind her like a reaper while pressing his blade against her throat.
'Based on her speed, I bet she will get the assassin fox class when she reaches level fifty.' Isaac whispers in his mind.
Seeing his hostage stand quiet; Isaac locks the door with his access card.
"What do you want from me?" Nohhah's voice no longer had the vibrations of panic in it. Her eyes shone with a coldness that can freeze the blood.
But Isaac only made fun of her. "As soon as I arrived at this inn, I was suspicious of you. After all, which innkeeper would accommodate a customer without asking for anything more than the cost of housing? No card, or other paperwork."
He leans against the door after storing his sword in its scabbard and looks at her with dark eyes. "Nah, it's not me who expects something from you, but on the contrary; Nohhah, holder of the inheritance of the enchanting fox."
Nohhah's coldness threatened to turn into a panic when she heard Isaac's words. But She immediately manifests her weapon, which was a fine poisoned sword, in her right hand.
"I was right, you're also a God-like Online player. You had understood from the beginning, but pretended to play the weak puny." She retorts with a blood-red aura that testified to her murderous intention.
"Don't pretend to ignore this detail. Finally, it no longer matters; my enemies, I kill them when they no longer serve me as a pawn."
"Wait! There is a misunderstanding."
"Yes, but I don't want to hear them. Now, rest in peace!" As soon as he finished saying his verdict, Isaac ran towards her with his bare hand with his fist toward her face.
Forced to defend herself to preserve her life, Nohhah swings her sword which suddenly turns into a long whip as sharp as a razor!
Her whip blade wraps around Isaac's wrist and sends him to waltz toward the wall.
But Isaac regain his balance in time and landed on both feet.
He looks at his wrist, which bleeds with confused eyes.
Nohhah gains confidence when she realized that Isaac was within her reach. "I don't want to kill you; I have some fun agendas for you. You're weak but you are the first to resist my mind control and exceed my speed." Her voice regained its usual coldness as she mumbled under her tongue as if she has just lost her soul in endless sadism.
"..." Isaac draws his sword and his aura has also become perceptible.
But instead of him, Nohhah took the initiative! Her whip crawled under her feet and immediately resumed its usual shape.
She puts it on her shoulder and slightly flexed her knees to gain momentum. "Skill, mirage." When she whispered these two words, her figure vanished in front of Isaac!
And in the second that followed, Isaac jumped back!
-Slice!
Even if Nohhah and her weapon were invisible, Isaac could notice the disturbance of the air that has just been divided by the stealth attack of his enemy.
"Tsk, an awkward skill!" He slams his tongue and continues to jump back until he arrives at one of the crossings of the walls of his room.
"You have unusual instincts, Isaac." Nohhah's sadistic voice resounds in the room while she was still hidden in her invisibility.
Isaac's frown is accentuated by hearing her voice resounding in every corner of the room. But he didn't comment on it.
He suddenly flexed his legs followed by a whiplash that created a horizontal line above him in the wall.
"Hahaha, did you even manage to guess the trajectory of my attack? You are worthy to be among our elected officials."
"What if you show yourself? The fight will only be more entertaining." Isaac mutters with a contemptuous smile.
"Don't take me for an idiot. You may not have a legacy, but... your speed exceeds mine despite your low level. This means that you passed the tutorial with more ease than me."
"Tsk." He slams his tongue as if he was disappointed to see his attempt at provocation fail. "In that case, can you at least tell me what you expect from me?" When Isaac asked this question, he could feel Nohhah's murderous aura weaken.
'Is she still hesitating? Did she understand that I could see her from the beginning?' Isaac mutters in his mind while continuing to look around with a restless face.
Nohhah, standing five meters from him, frowns. "How is this important to you?"
"Haha, I'm targeted by an unknown player who is willing to do anything to submit me; anyone in my place will be curious to know the reason."
"..."
"We can always discuss it, you know." Isaac's acting was as realistic as Nohhah's as he tried to make her spit the piece.
"...No, not before taming you and adding you to my collection." Nohhah's mistrust ended up winning against his hesitation.
Isaac could say that she had made her decision just by seeing the threatening smile on her lips.
"It's a shame; I almost succeeded." He whispers in a dry voice before looking straight at Nohhah's eyes who thought she was safe.
The latter instinctively leaps backward.
But Isaac's eyes were always on her, no matter where she went. "You...! How can you see me!?" Her voice became restless again.
"You're not smart as a player. You should already realize that I resist these kinds of shits from the moment I resisted your previous spiritual attacks." Isaac immediately regained his haughty smile when he saw Nohhah's panic.
He puts away his sword and continues. "When we think about it, invisibility is not one of the basic skills you will have at the beginning; which can only mean one thing, you got it as a reward at the end of the tutorial."
"Why were you pretending not to... see me?" She asks with empty eyes.
"Haha, it was for fun."
"What!? Are you making fun of me!?" Nohhah's rage blazed like a tsunami when she heard Isaac's sarcastic response.
"Finally, I wanted to see what a God-like Online player was worth. But seeing your attack's patterns and your strategists, I didn't even need to see you guess where you were going to attack; it was a waste of time."
The more Isaac spoke, the less Nohhah could keep her cool blood. "Very good." She whispers these words with crazy eyes of rage.
She changes her sword into a sharp whip once again. "I also admit that this stupid game has only lasted too long; let's finish it!" She coldly mutters while swinging her whip Toward Isaac!
But the latter catches her whip with his bare hand!
"Do you see? Your attacks are as simplistic as a beginner; you may have been a beginner who had started playing this game before the impact." He giggles with crazy eyes without calculating the pain of his bleeding hand.
"Humph!" She sneers and tries to pull Isaac towards her by betting on the force.
But to her great sadness, she could not move Isaac with a single thumb. This forces her to give up her whip.
'There she must show her bestial claws; one of the starting skills she had obt...
Even before Isaac finishes his word, Nohhah follows the patterns guessed by Isaac.
Her body flashes behind Isaac and bets for the melee as the last asset.
But she only stabbed the air instead of Isaac's back.
"Let's see if this skill is as useful as in the game." Isaac's murmuring voice resounds behind her, giving her cold sweat on her back.
Her vixen ears pricked up with panic--She then urgently made a horizontal swing toward Isaac's throat which just appeared behind her.
-Grip!
Isaac stops her murderous attack with an inch from his throat, by grabbing her hand.
Instantly, Isaac's eyes turned mauve when Nohhah made visual contact with him.
[You have activated the charm skill.]
"Good girl, good girl~; allow me to tame you, little newbie. I need to know more about this world."

Enjoy it.
