*Buzz* *Buzz*

Saito opened his eyes to the sound of his ringing phone which was sitting beside him, He did not waste any time getting out of bed which was out of the norm as he usually did the exact opposite.

Saito decided to wake up early in order to gain some knowledge about the information that he gathered due to his encounter with the goblins and Goblin King. Upon doing some research Saito managed to catch up with the past events that had taken place in Grand Quest Online, however, what caught his attention was the discarded event which had been swept under the carpet exactly 1 month and 2 weeks ago. It turns out that many players experienced what Saito had been through last night and complained about it due to their suspicions, but Vision managed to convince the world that what they were experiencing was a highly advanced NPC and Mob system which responded by assessing the situation.

Saito, however, was still not convinced he was sure that what he experienced was not man made, but he didn't have the power to bring up this topic. Even if he managed to catch the attention of a large crowd who would believe a teenager who claims that goblins and fairies are real.

Saito let out a sigh as he browsed the internet for information about the event, however, there were no active groups who were trying to light the truth behind Grand Quest Online.

"I guess I have no choice"

After a few minutes Saito decided to explore the GQO Auction Site, he had already heard the details from his classmates. One of the main features which GQO offered was the Auction Site which allowed players to sell in-game items for money, believe it or not in past 2 months there have been a number of people who managed to monopolise the system allowing them to make a living out of it.

"Umm lets see how does this work?"

After a while Saito managed to link his account to the website by going through an effortless process, the website only needed a physical image of Saito which was converted from the Headset.

"I guess ill auction an item"

Saito decided to put up some of his items for auction, it was a fairly straightforward task as Saito only needed to select items which were going to be auctioned from his inventory which was located within the website. Once the Transaction is complete the item is converted from the seller's account to the buyer's account, and of course, the money will be transferred to the buyer's bank account.

"Let's see, one Demon Horn and Demon Skin should do for now"

Saito decided to put up two legendary items with a starting bid of 12,000 Yen ($106).

'with this ill be able to buy a new pair of shoes' Saito thought to himself.

Upon setting up the auction Saito left his flat heading towards his school by taking the same route he usually takes, he managed to reach the front gate in time as it was still open and the guard let him in without making much communication. Saito, however, greeted the guard and rushed towards his class which was now full of students, however, something was strange as everyone including the teacher was staring at their phones blankly.

"Good morning" (Saito)

he walked towards his seat after greeting the teacher who was still staring at her phone, the class was in chaos as everyone seemed to be screaming at the top of their voices.

"SAITO LOOK AT THIS!" (Arata) ------------ {Akijos new name}

Arata rushed towards Saito who was seated and placed his phone in front of Saito's View.

"What exactly am I looking at" (Saito)

Saito slowly examined the screen and was puzzled he was currently viewing the Grand Auction House (QGO Auction House), but what seemed to catch his attention was the item which was going to be on sale within a few hours.

"You are looking at a legendary DEMONS REMAINS!, and on top of that, it's the rumoured black skinned demon which was slain by the One Eyed Wanderer! " (Arata)

Saito was starting to understand the situation he was in, he did know legendary items were rare but to cause people to react like this surely the Company will hear about this.

"I am bidding on it, in fact, I have already contacted my parents and they are backing me up with the money" (Arata)

Arata had a huge smile on his face as he looked at Saito.

"Your going to bid?, surely you jest with your families wealth you won't stand a chance" (Kyoko Sasaki)

The voice of a female silenced the room as she walked towards Saito and Arata, she was glaring at Arata with her mesmerising blue pupils. Kyoko Sasaki the was a name known by everyone in japan due to her prestigious family name, she was truly the beauty of Seren High as many have tried to ask her out but none have succeeded.

"I have already contacted my father and soon I shall be the rightful owner of these items so don't even think about bidding on them" (Kyoko)

Kyoko set her gaze on Saito who seemed to be ignoring the situation as he had his head laying on the table, Saito set his gaze towards Kyoko and frowned.

"Can you go away now you,re annoying me" (Saito)

Kyoko's face turned ugly as rage filled her body which was about to explode at the careless Saito. However, the class the majority of the class glared daggers at Saito who had just humiliated Kyoko, well it wasn't anything unexpected Kyoko was actually a well-known player in Grand Quest Online within the Human continent. Due to her older brother who had established a clan within the kingdom of Zereira known as the Twilight Order.

A young man the same age as Saito who was stationed beside Kyoko stood firmly in front of Saito, His name was Takeo Sasaki who was Kyoko's cousin.

"You sure talk big for a worm, do you even have the money to play Grand Quest?" (Takeo)

Takeo smirked as he looked down on Saito who still looked as careless as ever.

"What are you saying Takeo, of course, he doesn't have the money to buy something like that after all he doesn't have parents." (Kyoko)

Upon hearing Kyoko's words Saito slowly raised his head as he frowned. Saito didn't really care about insults which were aimed at him however once his parents were mentioned he couldn't help getting enraged.

"Kyoko what I said before was rude and I apologise, but you are going to far please refrain from insulting my parents they do not deserve it." (Saito)

Saito did not enjoy causing trouble without a reason so to him the most logical solution was to talk it out well that would have been the situation before Saito experienced the change, Saito's hands were curled up into a fist and blood was dripping from each hand due to his nails which were digging into his palm.

"Hahahaha what a disappointment you truly are walking the path of your useless paren.." (Takeo)

Takeo was stopped just as he was about to finish his sentence, the whole class had their eyes wide open from shock including Arata and Kyoko. Saito's hand was currently placed on Takeo's through neck who choking, Takeo's face had turned purple as he tried to gasp for air but he was unable to. After a few more seconds Takeo fainted and only then did Saito release him from his grip.

The teacher who was staring at the scene could not react from shock, no one could track Saito's movements when did he get up and grab Takeo. During the event, the teacher tried countless times to move but her body was frozen as she sensed danger within Saito which disabled her movement.

"Would you like to carry on with the conversation or is this enough?" (Saito)

Saito turned his gaze from Takeo who laid on the ground to Kyoko who had a horrified expression.

"...." (Kyoko)

Kyoko couldn't bring herself to even respond to Saito's question due to the scene which had unfolded in front of her, Arata, on the other hand, was half pleased and half worried as he hadn't seen Saito use violence ever before. After Saito had left the classroom the teacher ran towards Takeo and checked his pulse which was still beating, the room was filled with silence as not even a breath could be heard.

after leaving the classroom he headed out of the school and wandered aimlessly with a clear frown on his face, he was reminded of that horrible day which stole his happiness from him. After a while, Saito arrived at a bridge and stared at the setting sun.

"Hiromi.." (Saito)

Saito whispered to himself as he took out a bracelet from his right pocket, he set his gaze on the bracelet and stared at it for a while. After the sun had set he walked off with his hands in his pocket whilst gazing at the night sky.
