So ?
One of the reasons why virtual reality is the center of attraction in the whole world right now is because of the game 'Lustful Desire of the New World', right?"
↑
"RIGHT." I told him straight away….
"So I thought I had to beard the lion in his den by playing the game." I said as I waited for his angry words…
"So you're saying you haven't been coming to college because you're too busy playing video games all day?" He asked me with a firm voice.
"It's not just for the sake of playing games, sir. I wanted to study the incredibly realistic, incredibly realistic virtual world.
that is in 'Lustful Desire of the New World'…" I told him.
"So what is your level?"
"...SORRY?" I asked as I didn't understand why he was asking for...
"I asked what your level is." He asked me again. "If you were working that hard, you should at least be on the USA's top leaderboards, right?" He asked me.
'Shit! If only I hadn't reset...!'
"Um, well, the thing is, sir."
"What's the matter?"
Lv.20
"I was originally level 93... But because I reset my character recently... I'm level 20 now."
"THAT'S RIDICULOUS…" he said in a louder voice.
"BUT IT'S TRUE, SIR...!" I said in penic voice.
"Do you take me for a fool?" "You think I don't know that you're saying this to avoid trouble? And even that's not possible, as even if you were one of those few beta testers, even then you shouldn't be able to level up that fast. "... He said it as if he knew all about the game.
'WELL, IT'S TRUE THAT I'M TRYING TO AVOID TROUBLE, BUT...!'
"Then would you like to make a bet with me?" I asked him, as I knew his words had too much confidence for his own good.
"A BET?" He asked while his words sounded like he was getting his attention.
"Yes. "A bet to see whether i'm telling the truth or not!" I told him.
"KEEP TALKING." He answered me with a lot of interest in his voice.
"So you're going to try and reach level 93 before the semester starts again...?" He asked me.
"YES!"
"If I'm able to get my level 20 character to level 93 before the semester starts," wouldn't that prove I was originally level 93?" I asked.
"Right, sure, I'm also quite interested in 'Lustful Desire of the New World' myself."
If you manage to succeed, I won't give you academic probation."
"But if you fail, not only will you re- ceive probation," "But your parents will receive your grades from this semester and the next."
Hearing this, I felt chills down my spine and sweat building all over my body. I can't let this happen.
"W-WELL OKAY." With a little fear in my voice, I said.
"And you must participate in our department activities."
"YES…"
"OH, right. but if you win the bet, I'll give you an A+ for all my classes regardless of your attendance."
"Though there's no way you'll succeed." He said this and seems to be too confident.
"Do you... promise to keep your word?" I asked him.
"Huh? yeah, yeah. I promise."
"Thank you, sir. I'll give everything I've got!" I said as I cut the call...
"YES, THIS IS AMAZING!!!" I don't have to face my parents...
'But there is a bigger problem ahead. How am I gonna do this in such a small time frame while also keeping time for the Waifu, the biggest reason I am even playing this game?'
'Well, I won't know it unless I try' I thought as I entered the gear…
And soon I was in the place I was when I logged off as I summoned my wolf.
"LYX," I called while petting him. "We're going to need to work even harder."
"GRAWL!" He howled as if he were ready for it.
My original plan was to get back to my previous level before the semester break's over anyway. Now I just had to work much harder and give less time to Waifu's and to sleep, and other things. And since I avoided probation for my first semester, this is good. And I'm gonna get some A+ with no attendance re- quired! I could enjoy some waifus on a later date.
I'm best friends with the guild leader, and I'm close with all the main members, so it won't matter.
I have put in a request to join. You will be automatically registered once the guild master accepts.
'Alright. Should I private message Jin No, here, to accept the request? I thought as I opened the chat window and saw he wasn't online.
Well, it's not like I'm in a rush. He'll accept it anyway.'
"NEXT IS THE AUCTION HOUSE!"
"I'm gonna change up all my gear. Hehe." I thought as I teleported to the city of beginners, I then next walked to the auction house, which was just a 5-minute walk from the city center.
This is the perk of being a wealthy beginner!
I'm gonna change up all my gear to the best items I can equip with my stats!
The summoner class' bonus stats aren't added to its combat stats.
But to stats that help with summoning instead, like taming of archery.
I'll eventually start depending on summons more.
I thought as I started to check out the items that were on sale rather than auction, as auctions only happen every month.
As I looked, many weapons—swords, shields, spears, and axes were everywhere. And all of them are shining.
I wonder if there's anything that will increase my summon's stats.
Like something enchanted with a buff…?' I thought this while looking around the exhibition side, where everything was inside big glass boxes.
Yes there is.

"AMAZING!!! I'M BUYING THIS RIGHT AWAY.
[You have purchased [Mother Nature's
Headband)]. Paying 150,000 gold.]
"Yes, they are finally starting to sell! items for the summoner class." I thought, as any time I've been here before, they weren't selling summoning class items.
'Wait, maybe all the other items with the "Mother Nature" tag are also for the summoner class?'
OH, THERE'S MORE!

Hm, this is a bit of a dilemma.
I use the bow. a staff, huh?
I'll buy it! I can't keep using the bow forever. Plus, isn't it true that I can't switch weapons? After all, the Summoner class doesn't have many restrictions on what weapons we could equip...
As our most important status goes into summoning and some other things, we can't be physical nor the magic warriors. I thought as I bought the stuff that it was a very hefty price, but I paid it.
'It's a bit early, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to start getting used to another combat style."
It feels a bit weird holding a staff. meh…' I thought while welding the staff...
[SUMMON]!
"GRAWL!" as Lyx appeared in front of me.
"The intermediate training skill works even in towns. So I'd better use it whenever it's off cool- down."
"Alright, time to go find some quests!" I am sure there won't be any big events before the game's worldwide release, as it will be one more way to attract customers.
So now the only thing I could do is either leave the safe place or go to the true hunting grounds, which I can't do. As I'm not level thirty. Or the quest is the best way to gain EXP the fastest. Hunting monsters from a safe area is a stupid thing to do now, as it won't give me any good EXP.
I was walking towards the quest giver in the city center when I had this thought.
On the way, I saw many NPCs and many players walking around.
"Hey, look. That guy's a summoner!" Said one of the guys who was walking.
"He's using a wolf as his summon. I guess he's still low-leveled." Said a young female
"I heard summoner leveling is excruciatingly slow.I don't know anyone who's reached level 15 yet." An elderly man in the group stated.
'I'll do the goblin encampment subjugation quest.
The exp for killing goblins is doubled while doing that quest.
I'll get all that exp alone!'
"THERE'S THE QUEST NPC." I said as I saw a man wearing high clothing with a Kingdom mark on it. Standing in the middle of a busy street.
"Long time, no see, Rafael." I said to him,
Surely the NPC doesn't forget you after resetting, I hope even if that was beta, as I'm sure it's the same data.
"OH, LOOK WHO IT IS. HELLO, SIR JOHN." He said with such a familiar voice as if He knew me for many years.
"How have you been?" I asked him. 'looks like my affinity with the NPCs wasn't reset. good.'
"Have you had any issues with goblins lately?" I asked.
"Ugh," he pushed and looked at me. "OH, I WAS ABOUT TO SAY, WE'VE BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF A GOBLIN ENCAMPMENT...
"OUR SUBJUGATION TEAM WASN'T ENOUGH TO TAKE CARE OF THEM." "PERHAPS YOU KNOW OF A GOOD MERCENARY WHO COULD HELP?"
"I'll do it myself." I said.
"OH, YOU WILL? WELL... THAT'D BE GREAT!" He said. "BUT IT WOULD BE BETTER IF YOU HAD MORE PEOPLE."
As he said this a green window popped in front of me…

DAMN... WHO SHOULD I INVITE?
'I doubt there are any level 40 newbies in the guild.'
"Sir, would it be possible to delay the subjugation a bit until I find a party?"
"Of COURSE. I CAN DO THAT FOR YOU, SIR JOHN." He answered my question...

"OKAY, THANK YOU. YOU'RE A GREAT HELP, MASTER JOHN."
'It'll take half an hour getting there and back. That's a bit annoying, but... oh well. Nothing could be done here, as teleportation is only possible from city to city. And I don't think they made any spell for teleport, and if they had done it, it was in some kind of undercover quest. '
Let's see. Hit… I wonder if Herrs is on. Oh, he is.
HEY, YUHYUN ACCEPT

INTRODUCE ME TO THEM?

AT THE GAME EITHER. YOU
OKAY WITH IT?

IT'S FINE. TELL HER TO
CONTACT ME IF SHE LOGS IN.
HUH? OKAY. YOU SURE,

'I just need someone to fill the head count." I don't care about their combat skills!'
YEP, I'M SURE.
I GOT SOMETHING TO
DO NOW, SO I'M LEAVING
THE CHAT, CARWIN. MESSAGE
ME WHEN YOU GET IN
CONTACT WITH HER.
I GOT YOU, HYUNG
[Carwin]
'It's fun chatting with my guildmates, but not as much as hunting and making progress. and how can we forget getting Waifus?
"I'd better finish the preceding quest before Carwin gets back to me."
And just like that, after a small time frame, I reached the wild, open area filled with beauty. Most things were green, including small mountains, lakes, and rivers.
I saw a leopard monster.
[Level 30 monster Corcun]
Reading its name and seeing Level I nodding, having a cork would also be pretty sick. This guy, Lyx, lacks a bit of coolness.
"HUH?"
'M-my thoughts aren't shared with him, are they...?' I thought as I saw the disappointing gaze of Lyx.
"Hey, Lyx. you know how much I care about you, right?"
SILENT
🐺
TREATMENT
'I-Is he actually upset?'
"L-LYX?!" I called him out as I saw him start to glow blue light.
"WAIT, ISN'T THIS...?!" As the glow around him got stronger and the blue glow turned into red, I saw his eyes glowing in all this light, and his fur stood up like needles.
"FINALLY! HE'S FINALLY EVOLVING!
BUT WHY IS HE EVOLVING NOW? WHAT THE HECK IS THE CONDITION"
In all the excitement, I said my thoughts out loud..
As the glow grew every second, I opened His stat. Windo.
"POTENTIAL! HIS POTENTIAL REACHED 100!"
'His appearance should change if he evolves, right?
It'd be nice if he became bigger, so that I could ride him.
Now the glow was so intense that it lumenting the whole area around us.
"GRRRRRR" Lyx's howl was so long it was heard by every bird around us, and they all fled from fear alone as the light was gone, and I saw him there standing in all his glory; he was bigger, and the fur on his head and neck was turned blood red. As a new window popped in front of me.

"Hahahah! hahahahahhaha! ahahahhaha!"
Reading what was written on the window I wasn't able to control myself and laughed hard. While my hands were in the air..
"You did it, buddy Lyx, and I love you! for it"
I said while petting the huge wolf.

"ITS TIER CHANGED FROM NORMAL TO RARE... AND"
"IT CAN STILL EVOLVE! NOW I LIKE TO SAY I HIT JACKPOT, BUT I'LL SAVE THAT FOR WAIFU'S.
IF IT EVOLVES AGAIN, WOULD ITS TIER
CHANGE TO UNIQUE? IF HE DIDN'T SKIP ANY TIER"
"All right, Lyx, let's go," I said as I jumped on my wolf's back.
'As he starts to run and he is fast like the wind, it is a good thing that I have some riding experience; if it wasn't, I was sure I would already be fallen from its back.'
And soon we reached a place that looked very deserted, with black mountain water that was crimson red, like it was a lake of blood...
There were no trees around with Drake clouds in the sky. "It's giving out some chill and edgy vibes."
'GM's made these unnecessary features way too realistic." Or maybe it's used during sex to intensify the feelings.'
Was the quest to kill 20 goblin scouts? I thought as I jumped from the back of my wolf.
Lyx even evolved to become this cool; I can't just leave this be.
"Lyx, let's play to our heart's content."
[[WIND'S BLESSING] HAS BEEN

[[BARBARIAN'S BLESSING]

I activated my skills the moment I saw four goblins with rusty weapons: "Lyx, do you see those four goblins wandering around?
Attack them first, and I'll cover your back.
Lyx, with all these buffs, won't be weaker than any of those goblins.
A combat AI should be incomparably stronger than those normal mobs."
"KRR-!" The wolf howled as he ran at the goblins.
'And he's even got two inherent passive abilities...
But we can't be too safe, so...
[[WEAKNESS SENSING] HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.]
THE ENEMIES WEAKNESS HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. ACCURACY HAS INCREASED BY 14.5%. CRITICAL STRIKE CHANCE HAS INCREASED BY 22%. [WHEN ATTACKING WEAK POINTS, AN ADDITIONAL 91% DAMAGE WILL BE APPLIED.]
"AOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Lyx howled as his mouth opened, and a little spark could be seen on his teeths.
"KRRRR, WOLF, A CRIMSON WOLF!" Said one of the goblins.
"CHEEE- A WOLF IS ATTACKING!" Said the other one, who was wearing a red scarf.
But they were too late, as Lyx bit one of the goblins' hands as his whole body jolted.
[FAMILIAR [LAX] INFLICTED
CRITICAL DAMAGE TO THE GOBLIN SCOUTS.
[GOBLIN SCOUT] LOST 1075 HEALTH POINTS (89.9% TOTAL HEALTH).]
As his blood splashed everywhere blinding both Goblins that were around the wounded goblin. As he bleeded.
[GOBLIN SCOUT] IS NOW [BLEEDING] AND LOSING 215 HEALTH POINTS PER SECOND.
[GOBLIN SCOUT] DIED DUE TO [BLEEDING].
[YOU HAVE SLAIN A [GOBLIN SCOUT]. [YOU HAVE GAINED 1,210 EXPERIENCE POINTS.]
'W, What is this? How can a level 40 monster die with one hit?'
"KYA A A A!" As the goblin group screamed while swinging their rusty weapons.
And one was even able to land a hit on him.
"KEE!!" Goblins screamed as he struck Lyx with his mace.
[FAMILIAR [LAI] WAS HIT BY A GOBLIN SCOUT AND LOST 294 HEALTH POINTS.]
But Lyx didn't seem to be affected by it or like he was slightly disappointed by the power of strike. As he turned around and slashed the goblin with his claws.
[FAMILIAR [LAI] INFLICTED A GOBLIN SCOUT WITH 495 DAMAGE.]
[15% OF THE DAMAGE, 75 POINTS, ARE RESTORED AS HEALTH.]
"THAT'S RIGHT! BUDDY DON'T STOP CRUSH THEM"
[15% OF THE DAMAGE, 73 POINTS, ARE RESTORED AS HEALTH.]
As Lyx goes for another slash, "KEE!" Screamed another goblin, who ran at Lyx to attack him only for him to use his speed and slash his back.
[15% OF THE DAMAGE, 76 POINTS, ARE RESTORED AS HEALTH.]
As goblins were sweating with tears in their eyes, showing how real they are.
Lyx ran at other goblins, as he was so fast that the goblin didn't have time to react before he was again slashed by Lyx.
A CRUCIAL STRIKE WAS MADE. 50% OF THE DAMAGE. 523 POINTS ARE RESTORED AS HEALTH.]
And soon he was done without much change.
"Lyx you...!" I said while petting his head that he doesn't seem to be even slightly tired after fighting.
"WANG!" He howled
"THANKS FOR THE CARRY, PAL!" .
"OKAY, LAX, LET'S GO AGAIN!" I said I saw more goblins who weren't far from here.
"KRR!" He nodded with a bloodthirsty grin.
As he ran at them, I sat down on the other side and let him have some fun without interrupting it.
After some time, I was done looking for the information. As I got up and looked at the wolf, who now had a whole head of goblins in his mouth,
