Chapter 23: Pyromaniac! I will find you and butcher you!
"Welcome back, young master. It must have been an eventful day." Sebastian bowed after Reylin took out his VR Helmet.
It was indeed a long day, and Reylin needed some time on the bed.
He didn't feel like sleeping, and he still felt a little hot.
Sebastian didn't say anything and stood next to his bed.
"It was an eventful day indeed. A lot has happened, but I guess I am set up in another world now. All that's left is to level up my abilities and get stronger... I don't like how I needed help from the ice woman." Reylin shared a little with his butler, then left the bed.
Sebastian faintly smiled, "I have read the forum, and people are pretty vocal about a few players from our country. They have exposed their nicknames on the ladder, and their levels left many players speechless."
"I know what you want to say. Yes, I am glad I had enough means to kill an Lv. 50 resident and level up like crazy. But I am not that glad. On the other hand, I must be more greedy because I am hella strong." Reylin chuckled and went to the bathroom.
"Of course, the young master is strong. I can't wait to see what you do next!" Sebastian smiled as well.
This butler couldn't be happier as the game had changed Reylin! That young master could just go all out here, be one with the flames, and even think of different things such as conquering women!
Reylin would always return to the world calmer, and that was a joyful thing!
"I just began stretching out my hands beyond my selfish goals. There's a cheap mage warming up the seat for me. And that Brand and his son..." Reylin yawned, "We need to find a king."
"A King..." Sebastian gulped.
"Well, not we, but my father. Have you contacted him already?" Reylin asked before entering the bathroom.
"Yes, I have!" Sebastian bowed.
"Then, see you tomorrow."
"Yes! Good night, young master!"
-
Reylin woke up later than usual.
That was because of the exciting night and his body getting a new kind of warmth spreading from inside. That kiss felt good, and Reylin slowly became more like the rest of the youngsters.
He simply wanted more, but he also thought about Yvonne and what kissing with her would be like.
That woman was the only woman that could really influence him, all due to her appearance.
However, the conquered Yvonne was fated to change a little, and the mystery of how she would turn out after that fueled Reylin's heart.
Unknowingly, he became a little closer to the boys his age.
It wasn't a bad thing at all, and Reylin left the bed.
He was eager to go to the game and level up. He wanted to try fighting some new monsters, players, or even residents. He wanted to do more quests and try new things to bring himself closer to his goal.
And with the new routes opened before him, Reylin also just wanted to play the game.
It all brought him closer to Yvonne, but his own excitement was more of a priority.
However, breakfast was the utmost priority as of now.
"Good morning, young master." Sebastian and Hania greeted Reylin in tandem.
His butler went immediately back to the kitchen so that his young master could eat the warm breakfast soon.
Hania also quickly returned to her job, and she grasped the mop...
Reylin looked at them with slightly sleepy eyes.
He turned those to the closest to his door's furniture, then he slid his finger across it... Immediately after, Reylin called Hania, "Let's talk."
In an instant, Hania dropped the mop, and she trembled, imagining the worst.
She really wanted to keep this job and support her family, but it seemed like she had made a mistake somewhere! That fear made her unable to move.
Only after did Reylin repeat she moved to the table and faced him.
"You won't go far in life," Reylin said, his words surprising Hania.
She nearly let out tears, but Hania didn't want to show her weak self nor use pity against her work provider.
She held on and listened to Reylin's following words, "Look. I just play the game. That's what Sebastian has told you. Am I right?"
Hania nodded.
"Everyone plays that game nowadays. All I use is... my room, the bathroom, and this table. Other than that, I am not really moving anywhere else... Your priority is to keep up with everything I use the cleanest so that I will think you are doing a splendid job."
"Eh?" Hania blinked her eyes, not really understanding her young master.
"My apartment can hold more than five families. I don't expect you to clean it or take care of it in just one day, you know? I want you to show your qualities. So far, you have been showing hard work, but all people work hard. You don't look any different than others. The nicest people get used and then fired first." Reylin yawned.
"I am... sorry... I didn't think much... It was already hard to use the washing machine... It was so different, and it took most of my time, so I just... Ah..." Hania began explaining, but that was not the way.
She realized it was halfway done with her talk, then sat in silence, lost at words.
Reylin smiled, "Well, I said I would bear with you. And, you have to bear with me. Nothing is perfect... Unfortunately." He sighed.
After that talk, Hania realized she wasn't fired, at least yet, and she took his words to heart!
Sebastian came with the food.
He put the plate on the table while looking at the young master playing with the lighter with a smile.
"Turn on the TV," Reylin said.
At the same time, Hania and Sebastian reached for the remote.
Their hands bumped, and their eyes rose to look at each other.
Hania snatched the remote and said, "I was first!" She turned the TV on, then went to her job with a faint smile!
Hania's heart was beating like crazy, however.
She just went against that kind and helpful butler!
Both Reylin and Sebastian chuckled, however.
"The Monster at the ladder... This is the Faynom World's Show Channel? What do they show here? Hmm?" Reylin read the information about the channel.
It was a channel that solely focused on the game world... It highlighted the streamers or people who streamed their time here.
Since the ranking ladder became known worldwide, many players exposed themselves and used this chance to get some fame.
The top 1 player from Reylin's continent was a little special, however.
"The Monster... It suits him, I would say." Reylin said while looking at the TV.
On the screen, the man with the ax hacked at the monsters. He took wide swings, killed monsters mostly with just one, and he sometimes performed butcher-like techniques by spinning and splitting the earth through his ax!
"Those monsters are around level twenty... He is not too far behind you, Young Master." Sebastian commented from the side.
His eyes rose to look at the screen, and Sebastian added, "He's also crazy. He screams as much as you."
"True. He needs to eat some fireballs." Reylin said.
But at that time, the monster roared!
He killed the dangerous lion king and took a seat on its body! With his weapon high, the monster roared, "Pyromaniac! I will butcher you! Hahaha! Come and find me! That's where I level up now! Hahaha!"
Reylin's lighter let out more flames, "And that's the end of my time with the residents. What's the game without killing some players?" He laughed, ready to have some fun against the player who deemed himself crazy!
However, that "healthy" challenge took a wrong turn!
"I hate you! Pyromaniac! Because of you, I can no longer go to karaoke with my friends! They all laugh and call me William's Wannabe! Fuck you!" The monster, the top 1 player, roared and jumped off his prey.
He went for more leveling up!
Reylin narrowed his eyes, "Sebastian. Send him a friend invitation and invite him to my province. Tell him he can stream and do whatever he wants, but we fight in the Jolni Province."
"Is it because of the EXP Bonus?" Sebastian asked.
"Precisely. I am also going to get some streaming devices." Reylin licked his lips and prepared for the showtime!
