Chapter 72: Zerze

Michu had 6 million gold coins!

It was roughly 60,000 real money! He exchanged most of it, then left VR Capsule to speak with his sister. On his bank account, 50,000 real money was already deposited. His bank didn't call him because the transaction was done through the game, so no questions were required.

It was legal money he had worked hard for!

Nana covered her lips with shock, "Big brother... This game really has changed your life... The dreams came true!" Her brother was one of the luckiest players to receive the mythic class!

How many people could just drop their job to farm bananas or do any other class quests? The luck smiled on them! However, Nana's smile was more worth it for Michu and he was all giggles too!

They looked around their house and made a list of the necessary stuff to buy! First of all, the beds were required in their house! They also needed more stuff for their kitchen! One big fridge was one of the first things on their list!

"It will lessen a mother's burden, right?" Michu asked.

But he was inwardly convinced that it would help his family! After all, having money wasn't that bad! It wasn't fortune either, so no big problems should come their way.

Nana thought the same, but she reminded, "Don't tell mother to give up on all her jobs! I know you wouldn't say it, big brother. But if you say something similar to 'In the future, you won't have to work' then mom will slap your face!"

"I won't say it, Nana!" Michu promised.

"Mom is a hard-working person! She wouldn't be able to stay at ease without any work! Even though taking care of the house is also work, she always told me how valuable it is to have some savings..." Nana rattled off, then looked to the side.

In a very timely manner, their mother arrived back home!

"I am back," It was rare to see them two together!

Michu often spent his free time in the game and Nana would mostly glue to the screen and have a lot of fun here. It was nice to see them together as siblings. However, something must have happened for them to be together.

Mom's thoughts were on the spot as Michu raised the laptop and showed off his bank account's money!

"Jesus Christ..." What was that number?! And it came from the game?! Her son made such an amount of money in this short time?! Her whole expression flashed with disbelief and some second thoughts, but how could her cute Michu do any illegal work?!

If anything, it would be Nana who would do it first...

Nonetheless, both of her children were angels! "This is... unbelievable, Michu..."

"Mom, you can step out from one of your jobs and have more time for yourself!" Michu said.

"Yes, mom! If you work too much, you will die from overwork!" Nana added and both of them looked at their mom with pleading eyes.

Of course, how could Mrs. Mom resist those eyes? Michu also made so much money that she would need to work at least two years for it! As she sat down, mom asked just one important question, "Is it a stable income?"

"It is not, but mom..." Nana explained about Michu's future in the game.

Meanwhile, Michu's inbox flashed with red dots! He didn't have many friends, so this dot drew his attention! He secretly clicked on that, then Sandra's message appeared before his eyes.

It was his first cool video!

"Let's watch my cool video!" Michu turned his eyes to mom and sister, then all three of them watched that cool video!

The Impossible Quest's adventures and battles were exciting, but Michu's fun and friends were what warmed mom's heart. She enjoyed each second of this video!

At the very end of the video, mom said, "Michu... Mom will support you... But, promise me that if this game stops giving you money, you will look for a job." The future was important! Mom also reminded Michu to save some money!

To all her words, Michu nodded a few times and swore to remember! He would keep these words at the back of his head!

His face then lit up in a blush!

"Yumi looks really cute." Mom said.

"Sandra looks better. Venomous is not bad... though..." Nana added, then both of them looked into each other! An unknown to Michu atmosphere unfolded before them, then with unknown smiles on their faces, the two ladies ended their staring contest.

Michu could only wonder what that was!

-

Virtual Reality was a convenient feature.

You could meet up with friends regardless of distance in real life and characters had much better bodies in-game. You could go on many adventures and have a lot of time here without leaving your home in real life.

The usual time the adult players strived was evening and night!

They either did simple quests, continued the chain of quests or just leveled up by trying out new combinations on the monsters. Of course, a lot of fun with other players and NPCs was likewise the way to enjoy the game.

However, there were regular places that both NPCs and players had.

Those were mostly bars or taverns.

"Their faces were funny... It was as if they didn't know what to say! Haha!" Big K gulped down his beer and struck the table with an empty glass.

"Mountain Cliff City is known for housing a lot of NPCs who hate us." One of Big K's friends laughed too, "I guess they were on Redemption Road! Hahaha!"

"The Redemption Road!" Another one nearly choked on his beer!

All of them were having a nice time!

They had just killed a few soldiers that were named NPCs, so their exp gains were high! There was also the thrill of sneaking up into someone else's land and just destroying it! Even though Michu's lands had just soldiers to protect it, it was still a thrilling feat.

Big K waved his hand, "I guess that bitch's charm was too much even for them! They hated players, but her beauty overwritten that shit! Losers!" He arched his head and took another cup of beer, "They didn't know what kind of person hid beneath that beautiful skin! A demon! Demon for fuck sake!"

"It's good that they died! We have saved them, haven't we? Haha!" The party was all nice until some whispers swept through the tavern.

All of those whispers were about one person; Big K!

His group of friends noticed that solely because the usual and cute waitress didn't even come to them! It was a common principle for waitresses to go around drunk clients and offer more alcohol or even themselves.

They reared their ears and listened, "I heard that this guy is someone who offended many NPC ladies... He even lowered himself and raped a few of them."

"Damn... Even if these are NPCs, their bodies feel real... So their reactions must have been also.. real... So he did it a few times?"

"Yeah... DIsgusting freak."

NPCs had an even worse talk and their words were less coated. They bluntly whispered to each other how disgusting this man was!

It seemed like Big K's rumors were the main topic for today's evening as everyone talked about it.

This meant that even Big K would talk about it.

He stood up and howled, "What kind of bullshit are you all spreading?! I haven't done this!" He swept his hand and drew everyone's attention at him, "Yeah, I slapped some waitress' cheeks, but isn't that what you like?! You also offer yourselves to us!" Big K slammed the table, "I have never forced myself on any woman in this game! NEVER!"

Big K sat down on his chair, then closed his eyes.

He knew that his words wouldn't change much!

After all, all those NPCs and players were talking about him!

Had it been just one person, Big K would've thrown all his arguments at his person and erased these rumors in a flash. However, it was already too late. Even if those were baseless rumors, the fact that all people had spoken about it made others believe that there was at least a grain of truth!

'It has to be her... She used all her money to frame me... This bitch... Venomous!' Big K couldn't suspect anyone else! He instantly blamed Venomous as it was not only convenient but near 100% shot.

Who could use such means? Someone weaker after all!

All people glanced at Big K with mixed expressions, but the disgust prevailed on their faces. This sight was unbearable so Big K and his friends stood up and faced all those people with their sharp tongues.

It was highly unlikely that they would cause trouble in the tavern as there were city guards outside on the patrol.

However, all the people suddenly froze in their tracks.

A cold wind permeated the whole tavern! All actions halted, bringing small chaos into the tavern. Cups fell from people's hands, their eyes popped out of their skulls and hearts nearly burst out!

[Zerze Lv. 68 HP:??? MP:??? Guild: Hyunge Main Guild.]

"You made my beer tasteless." His cold voice sent shivers down one's spine!

He carried Ice Spear with himself, its tip drawing an ice trail on the ground!

The initial impression everyone got was that this man was someone you wouldn't joke with! His blue bottomless eyes shone blue!

[You have been exposed to Absolute Zero.]

[Your lips have been frozen.]

[Your limbs have been frozen.]

[Your body has been frozen.]

Big K's eyes would've widened were it not for this coldness! His status shone with many debuffs that left him defenseless! Any weaker player could kill him on the spot, to say nothing of Zerze who had arrived behind him!

Raising his exquisite Ice Spear, Zerze said, "You have five minutes to leave this tavern. The same goes for your friends."

Zerze didn't carry the aura of someone backed by a prestigious company.

If needed, he would turn himself into a cold killer and get the job done! The same went if he wanted to just enjoy his beer! His coldness around Big K and his friends shattered, then a five minutes limit appeared on their screens.

All of them bypassed him and rushed to escape from this man's grasp!

"What a fucking ego," Big K's friend uttered while fighting for breath, "If I had a unique class or item, I would've punched his annoying face!"

Unfortunately, a lot of people couldn't see through Zerze. They contributed his strength to a special class and Ice Spear which was a fatal mistake for any enemy!

Zerze went through The Impossible Quest with normal classes!

-

A few minutes later, Big K and his friends ended up in a different tavern.

However, Big K's lips were still blue! He couldn't talk nor drink, his eyes nearly full of tears! He caressed the glass of bear with affection he would shower his girlfriend with, then someone's whisper reached him from behind.

"I heard this guy... fucked his mother," Big K's eyes went bloodshot!

He stood up and pointed his finger at the whispering man, but no words could escape his lips! He just stood and hovered his enraged eyes at the couple who was whispering about these baseless rumors!

"Look... He can't refute my words." The man laughed, "This is some next-level shit. Guys, we have the real motherfucker here! Haha!"

"Hah? Where?" More people joined the fray and laughed straight into Big K's face who could do nothing, but watch!

His eyes went through the whole tavern!

It was a different tavern from his usual one. Of course, he sometimes ended up here with his friends if their favorite one was full... But... How could there be other players and even NPCs bribed by Venomous?!

This woman was crazy!

"Motherfucker!"

"Motherfucker!"

"Mommy! I am back home! Hahaha!"

"Hahahaha!"

Big K stood frozen, sweat profusely dripping down from his chin! If eyes could kill, those would've already massacred the whole tavern! As his trembling body reached a dangerous state near epilepsy, Big K left his friends and left the tavern.

He looked toward Mountain Cliff City's direction, his eyes red with killing intent he had never exposed.

'DEMON!'
