While in spirit form, I ran up to the corpse of the boss. Near the corpse was Julian of Western millis, who was guarding my corpse. It looked like he planned to kill me as soon as I revived in hopes of my Bramble Sword dropping.
I couldn't help but laugh at him. Hah,I didn't care if you guys puppy-guarded my corpse, I would just wait. I had tons of time, now we would see who had more patience.
….
At this time, my cellphone rang, and the call was immediately forwarded into. It was Eris calling me...
"Leo?" Eris's voice was extremely beautiful.
"Yeah, miss?" I asked.
Eris laughed before continuing: "Laura and I are planning to get something to eat, come over to our building and wait there.."
"Alright, I'Il be there in 5 minutes."
"Good, we'll wait for you."
When I looked at Julian's pathetic party, I hid a smile. In my mind, Il said to them "I'll be getting some free food, take your time! ' Then I logged off while in spirit form which guaranteed my safety in-game.
After I took off the helmet, I glanced over at my roommate. Glasses was twitching on his bed, he must have been in a fierce fight. Whatever, it was his own problem, time to leave!
At the girl's dormitory, Eris and Laura were waiting for me outside. As soon as they saw me, they rushed over. Laura patted her stomach,
complaining: "I already told Eris to get dinner but she insisted that I keep on playing. Now I'm starving, let's hurry and get a midnight snack.'
I smiled at Laura: "Alright."
Jonin University's cafeteria was always open, 24/7, which showed the incredible wealth Jonin University had.
After ordering a couple of dishes, we dove in. Since I was really hungry, I disregarded my appearance and swallowed 7 steamed buns in an instant. The two girls were shocked at my voracious appetite. From afar, a couplemale students were also shocked. They stared at me: "That guy..not caring a bit about his appearance, even in front of those two girls!"
Eris's smile was frozen on her face and gave me the evil eye: "Were you starved in your past life? Eat slowly."
I nodded without saying anything. Instead, I finished my seafood soup in one gulp. Damn it, when have l ever had such great tasting food? Being rich truly had its good points.
….
Laura finished her plate and was tasting her soup before smiling at me: "Leo, Today's the day where you get pass your Lv 1 obstacle right?"
It was incredibly awkward for me: "Yeah, I'm Lv9 already..."
"Oh! You're pretty fast in raising your level, getting to Lv 9 in just 10 hours!"
Eris kept her poker face, and glanced at her phone before talking to Laura: "It's pretty late, we should get back and sleep."
She just ignored me!
l asked: "Laura, what level are you guys?"
Laura smiled again before she proudly sai: "Im already a Lv 15 Mage, trying to get to Lv 20 in order to register officially as a Mage. Eris level is even higher than mine, she's already Ly 16. God, the speed in which Assassins are able to raise their levels right now is insane, even the Mages can't keep up."
lasked: "You guys already left the newbie village?"
"Of course, we left the village yesterday." Laura winked before continuing: "Oh right, me and Eris chose Ashura City as our main city, what about you?"
I thought about it and said: "My newbie village is really close to Ronoa City, maybe I'll stay there for some time before venturing out to find you guys.."
Eris gave me another evil eye with her perfect smiling poker face: "Oh, so you really don't want to see me in game eh?"
Immediately I shuddered, feeling a killing intent from her. Instantly I straightened and hurriedly said: "What are you talking about? I actually really want to go to Ashura City to meet up with you and Laura. But the monsters between the city have really high levels, and I'm only a small Healer. How in the world can I get over there? On my way there, I'll be killed tons of times, I might even be sent back to newbie village..."
Finally, Eris's poker face showed signs of breaking, she forcefully swallowed a laugh, biting her lip, before she regained composure: "Okay, then just stay at Ronoa City, if you find yourself in a bad spot, then come and find us."
Laura excitedly added: "Yup yup, me and Eris will protect you!"
Eris showed signs of irritation: "Why are you so happy Laura?"
Laura instantly froze. While blushing she quickly said: "Well..me and you are both damage dealers, if we could bring Leo, we'd also have a Healer. The pace at which we can kill monsters would definitely increase, right...."
"Really?" Eris's eyes flashed an indiscernible emotion and stared at Laura before she reverted back to her sweet, poker face smile: "Alright, I trust you..."
Laura patted her chest: "Ugh, that was close.."
"What did you say? !"
"Umm, I said that this soup is really good.''
''…''
….
At about 10 PM, I escorted the two girls back to their dormitory and took a walk around the dormitory. After finding a spot where no one else was around, I quickly jumped above the wall of the dormitory. On top of a tree, I monitored the dormitory's surroundings.
Since it was at night, the University was extremely crowded; there were students that belonged to the University and a surprising number of students that didn't belong to the University. On the roads of the University were countless Porches and
Ferrari's that raced past each other. After I waited for 2 hours, until about 12 PM, I left my "post" . After such a long guard, I ensured that there wasn't any immediate danger. At least then, there wouldn't be anything that would've harmed Eris.
Even though the game was fun, I must not forget my job to protect Eris. My top priority wasn't to be with Eris and Laura but rather to ensure that no harm befell Eris.
While I was on the tree, I opened my phone to check up on Mahou Corporation and Borros. I needed to figure out what the Mahou Corporation and Borros had done to cause such danger to themselves and why they were so important. To be able to have had police from Fittoa Union directly send out men (me) to protect Eris Ar, Mahou Corporation must have an extremely powerful connection and Eris must have been extremely important to Borros.
On my phone, I was able to access data on Mahou Corporation -
Mahou Corporation was founded by the core engineers of Lockheed Martin, and held patents in high-tech radar invisibility technology. They were a major player in the production of BMI compounded materials. In 2015, they split from Lockheed
Martin and under the project leader, Borros, became a supplier of the Nihon military. With them, they brought state-of-the-art technology in weaponry. In recent years, they were beginning to develop nano-bullets, using the fact that the high frequency sound that atom collision makes could be used to melt metal. These new bullets were extremely effective against armored units such as tanks. In addition, they were a huge player in developing Nihon most advanced aircrafts and radars.
After I read Mahou Corporation's bio, I couldn't help but take in a huge breath. I never imagined that Borros was that important; from the information gathered, Mahou Corporation's addition to the Nihon military boosted the development of Nihon weapons by at least 10 years, especially strengthening Nihon's Air-force. Because of Mahou, Nihon was finally able to make progress on fifth generation aircrafts.
Because of how strong Mahou was, every country in the world was envious of Mahou's technology. Yet, Borros was extremely cautious and didn't show many weaknesses that could be exploited. One of the few, or the only weakness that Borros had was his daughter. Because of this, many people had tried to kidnap Eris to use her to threaten Borros in giving up his company's latest technological innovations. As a result, the Fittoa Union police was also handling Eris's protection, trying to find someone that was both smart and strong but also unnoticeable to protect Eris, and that person was.. you guessed it, it was me!
As I sat atop the tree, I shuddered at the enormity of the task that was entrusted to me.
I switched my focus back to afar, maintaining high awareness of my surroundings. I quietly checked the surroundings one last time; yup, final checks show that tonight was definitely safe.
Mature Warning- Can be skipped since doesn't affect plot
"Aah aah...."
As soon as I was positive that it was completely safe, small sounds came from the right, startling me. Looking over, I closely examined the space to my right, hmm, there were 2 upperclassmen, a guy and a girl... the guy was seated on the rock chair while the girl was on top of the guy. On her right leg dangled her panties, hmm, it was a bright pink. The two of them moved slowly and even though they didn't make any huge movements, they still made quite a bit of sound.
I jumped off the tree, a soft "paa" sound accompanied my jump. Even though the
sound wasn't big, the two upperclassmen still heard me and turned their heads in unison: "Who is it!"
I shuddered at their attentiveness and calmly, as if I were talking to lions: "Just walking around...Sorry if I am interrupting, please continue."
I took a shortcut by walking across the grass, then reached a lamp post by the side of the road in a couple of steps. Behind me, someone said: "Damn it, let's continue, these bastards!"
….
I was looking forward to taking a shower once I got back to my dormitory. But unfortunately, Glasses was already taking a shower so l had to wait.
While waiting, I sat in front the dorm's desk and used Glasses' computer to go on the internet. After I booted up his computer, the first thing that popped out was Eternal Requiem's official website and in the tabs next to it were information about the players with the highest levels, best equipment etc. It was extremely messy.
But I didn't browse through the stuff that Glasses was already reading. I needed information that would actually help me.
After I browsed through External Requiem's official website, I finally got a grasp of Eternal Requiem's map. On the map were 7 great kingdoms. of them, the Nihon sever had access to Notos Castle. Under Notos Castle, there were 3 secondary cities, Ashura City, Alderna City and Fittoa City. Once new players walked out of the newbie villages, they would choose one of the three castles as their home castle. For Notos Castle, the monsters around it were way too high leveled. At this point, the player with the highest level was only level 18, even for him, attempting to go to Notos Castle was suicide. After all, even if he had the best Lv 18 equipment, he still wouldn't be able to defeat Lv 70 monsters around Notos Castle; the gap between stats was just too huge.
Then I zoomed in onto Notos Castle and its three subordinate cities. Yeah, Brute Dog Village was closest to Fittoa City and it was very, very far from Ashura City. I would visit Ashura later.
At the same time, Glasses finally finished his long shower and walked out of the bathroom. When he saw me, he couldn't help but laugh: "Leo, how did your leveling go today?"
"Im at Lv 9, what about you, Glasses?"
"Impressive, that's a pretty fast pace, already Lv 9, even I'm only Lv 13. Right now I'm at Alderna City, where do you plan on going? How about coming to Alderna City and playing with me, and we can take on the world together.."
My mouth twitched at the thought of being together with Glasses: "It's alright, for me to get to Alderna City, I need to go across dozens of mountains and swim through dozens of rivers. I'll probably be killed back to Lv 1 before I even the reach the city. I'm close to Fittoa City, so I'm planning on making Fittoa City my home city."
Glasses also smiled when I mentioned me being killed back to Ly 1: "Alright, just wait until your level is high enough and you are able to own horses, then you'll be able to go anywhere you want. Don't be impatient and try to come to Alderna!"
"Yeahhh."
I looked at the time. It had been about 3 hours since I logged off, let me log back on.
….
After my data was read, "Shuaa" a blinding light transported me near Bramble Thorn Bear's corpse. I was still in my spirit form and looking around, there didn't seem to be anyone around. I was about to revive when a thought crossed my mind. I should probably double check my surroundings. After walking around, I found Julian's of Western millis hiding behind a fallen
tree, and the two Mages were also hidden behind shrubs. How wretched, these people were way too obsessed, right? All this for a White Iron Tier weapon Really...such wretchedness.
I logged off, took a shower and went to sleep. If they really wanted the weapon then
why don't they puppy-guard my corpse for an entire night?
