There’s only an hour left before it reaches midnight, so Michael left his room with a bath towel on his hand and went to wash himself up as he prepared for bed.
Ten minutes later, Michael came out of the bathroom looking really fresh with his bath towel wrapped around his waist, and instead of going back to his room, he passed through the dimly lit living room and arrived at the kitchen as he stood before their fridge.
“Ahhh, that was good”
Michael felt refreshed inside after drinking a glass of milk.
He then started making his way back towards his bedroom, when he suddenly stopped in the middle of their living room.
He strained his ears as he listened to the noise around him.
M.o.a.n~ M.o.a.n~
Due to the stillness of the night around them, Michael could hear a muffled m.o.a.n of pleasure coming from the direction of his parents’ room.
’Seriously!’
Michael chuckled as he continued towards his room. He flopped down on his bed and quickly went to sleep as he prepared to wake up early tomorrow morning as he and Viper had agreed upon.
Early morning on the first day of June.
There was only a minute left before the clock on the wall hit five o’clock, and just as it was about to five o’clock, Michael, who was sleeping soundly on his bed suddenly snaps his eyes wide open as he started to look around his room.
Michael slowly sat up from his bed and quickly got out of it, and then he took his phone from his desk and sent a text towards Viper that he’s now diving back inside the game, and that he should quickly follow after him after he reads his message.
He opened his gaming cabin and proceeded to go lie down inside as the door of the gaming cabin slowly closed before him.
Shua!
A flash of light appeared in the middle of a dirt road as the figure of a cloaked figure emerged.
Shua!
And not even a few seconds later, another flash of light appeared as another figure appeared on the road.
The two figures are precisely Michael and Viper, both of them are covered in hooded cloaks that literally hide every single part of their bodies.
Both men summoned their respective mounts and continued their journey towards Orvon Kingdom.
They logged in to the game so early that they only saw a few players around this time, and most of them are around the range of Level Twenty and Twenty Three, running around killing monsters two to three levels higher than them.
“How long till we get there?” said Viper while riding on the back of his Sabertooth Tiger.
Michael didn’t immediately answer him and instead looked at his map as he checked where they are currently at.
“We’re only a day away before we reached the nearest border town,” said Michael when he saw that they’re not that far away from reaching the Kingdom of Orvon.
Viper looked at Michael, then at the map on Michael’s hands and said, “Where the heck did you even get a complete map? I think you’re the only player out there that has a complete map or maybe there are also others like you, I don’t really care, but I’m curious of where did you get one of those as it would be really useful for us if all have a complete map like you”
“After all, who the heck wouldn’t want to travel this world inside the game? Maybe we could even find some people worthy to be taught by us”
“Don’t just go deciding on something like that, no one is dumb enough to take someone a teacher who is part of the underground world”
“F*ck off, I’m pretty sure that there are people out there who would want to learn my killing techniques so that they can avenge their loved ones whom they lost because they are powerless to protect them, you should know very well how dirty this world is. The ones who truly control this world are those people who have a lot of money and influence, in their eyes, the common people are just ants that they could play with any time they want”
Michael looked at him, and in the end, he turned his head away as he didn’t say anything. It was because he knew that what Viper had said wasn’t wrong, he knew that there would certainly people out there who would probably even turn to the devil just so that they could deliver vengeance towards their hateful enemies.
After all, the most dangerous people in the world are those people who do not have anything to lose.
“Enough about that, we should hurry up as I would only be here for an hour before I cook some breakfast for the kids before I drive them to their schools”
“Right, I forgot that you’re a dad now” Michael chuckled when he remembered that Viper is staying at his girlfriend’s place to take care of her kids.
“I’m really surprised that those kids already like you even when you’ve only known them for a few weeks at best”
Viper glared at Michael and said, “They may not be of my blood and flesh, but I would make anyone who hurts them pay, even you”
“Hey! I’m not like that!” Michael angrily looked at him with a scowl on his face.
Viper shrugged his shoulders and said, “Well, we don’t know about that. After all, we’ve only known each other for almost two months at most”
“Hmmph!” Michael just snorted and ignored him, and a few minutes later, they both arrived inside a small forest along the road.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
“Hmm?”
Viper and Michael suddenly looked at each other when they felt the ground beneath them trembling, as they quickly made their mounts stop.
“The heck is happening this time?” Viper scowled, as both he and Michael unsummoned their mounts as they prepared for battle.
Michael summoned his pet rabbit, and the Jade Rabbit quickly appeared beside his feet.
Both men quickly looked towards their right when they figured the rumbling sound is coming closer towards them from the right, and when they saw the cause of it, they both shivered.
