Chapter 16: Introductions

"Feel free to call me Yuki. I am the 12th Black Rose and your superior," Yuki took off her hoodie, setting up her blue hair.

Her hair was waist long. It fluttered despite no wind here, and coldness seemed to ooze out of her whole body.

As the coldness was her primary weapon, her skin seemed near blue, and it brought a new kind of charm one wouldn't really see on Earth.

Reylin patted his shoulder and glanced at her, "Is this an experiment to try out players?"

"Correct," Yuki looked into his eyes, and evident respect was within her icy hues, "Players have a much more unique system. There's a chat between you, and you can respawn. These two options open up many methods against our enemies. There's more to it... You guys have more growth room."

"How exactly did it go for you guys?" Reylin asked, his face still hidden.

"A window suddenly appeared, and our lives greatly changed." Yuki closed her eyes.

Yuki shared what had happened to residents once the game system kicked in.

Their strength became estimated, turned into levels, and their techniques became sorted and ranked in the system. They learned about dark matter and the monsters born out of it.

Those were naturally the respawning monsters.

Chaos came, the lives significantly changed, but they all adapted and prepared for the future.

The worst was that they couldn't level up like players.

Only a few chosen ones could, and all of them had been selected by the Ascended.

"Hmm." Reylin hummed, not revealing his thoughts.

Yuki also didn't comment further, and she returned back to the priorities, "I will give you guys the class, Black Rose's Shadow. This class will give you the quests to learn about infiltration skills. One of my favorites is this..."

She extended her hand, and in the blink of an eye, handcuffs appeared on Reylin's hands, "There's a clear level gap between us, so I can use it without any prerequisites."

"I see." Reylin nodded while caressing his wrist.

[Do you want to learn Black Rose's Shadow Class(Epic)?]

The class tree was huge, and one could learn many classes. However, a wrong choice could lead to self-destruction, and players couldn't blindly accept all classes.

This class didn't seem like it would hurt Reylin's ambition, so he accepted on a whim.

Yuki's knowledge turned into the quests, and those became the class quests.

Her knowledge was one thing, but Yuki also would accompany them for a while to learn the basics.

That's why the proper introduction was needed.

"How about you reveal yourselves?" Yuki asked in a little chilly voice.

That voice felt natural for her, and Reylin was the first one to take off his balaclava. Once he did it, the twins pointed their fingers at him and said in tandem, "We knew it's you!"

"Yeah, Rey Flames Lin is the name, but since we are colleagues from now on, you can call me Rey, I guess? Why does it sound like you two have already forgiven me?" Reylin glanced at the twins.

They chuckled and took off their balaclavas as well.

"You bullied my sister with those flames, but that was the spar in the end. A spar for the epic class, no less," The lady with the nickname External Sweetness said.

On her right, the other twin had the name Internal Sweetness, and she silently stared at Reylin with squinted eyes. She was also the one to get bullied by him, so that was given.

But upon seeing their faces and nicknames, Reylin could guess their personalities.

One looked sharper and kept smiling, which was External Sweetness. The other was stoic and just revealed a little emotion.

Anyway, that was the initial impression.

They looked like close twins, both black-haired with beautiful ocean eyes.

"Feels nice to know that you are that understanding." Reylin chuckled.

"Besides, your performance was quite cool," External Sweetness sauntered closer to Yuki and Reylin, "I saw a few memes about you too, and thanks to you, we have bought a few masks to cover our faces. After all, we also want to get going in this world."

"Your swordsmanship didn't look stiff, so I assume your teachers hold you back in real life," Reylin smirked.

And for the first time, External Sweetness didn't say anything, inwardly feeling scared of how astute this man was.

She just shrugged.

Reylin asked a little about the memes since he wasn't interested in normie social media that much, "What exactly are those memes about?"

"The most popular is Wannabe Meme," The twin explained.

The meme was about Reylin looking similar to William. Still, in this meme, Reylin shouts, 'I must differ from William, so I will scream!' This brought out a vein onto Reylin's temple. He glared at the twin, but she just burst out laughing and added, "I didn't create it. Don't look at me like that."

"Deal with it," Reylin replied.
