20 019| Kevin: System just do your job

When Kevin was aware of what happened during his short rest, he was quite livid. He has a sense of Deja vu. Like something similar to this episode has happened to him long ago.

His system also felt the same. It was very confused about what this sense of dread it is feeling. If it could it wanted to escape and be away from here.

But it cannot do any of that. He is bound to his host. And this host of his is someone he has waited for a very long time. It really cannot leave him due to its own fears.

Now knowing that there is another abnormal existence hetre, Kevin immediately did his best to court Angelica to leave this room. He does not want the same thing to happen as his first world. Given the painting on the walls and ceilings, there are too many things that 'thing' could do to him.

But he was questioning why it was suddenly curious about him. As far as he knew he had not done anything special in this world. He did not do any hidden kindness, contrarily he did disrespected the tomb by deliberately messing up some of its relics. Hardly he could understand if somehow this dead king appreciated his handiwork.

"System….are there some hidden mechanisms in your program that attract dangerous girls to your host?" Kevin can't help asking. This is twice now, if the next world still end up like this, then it is no longer a coincidence.

[....]

[There was none host]

[I checked a few more times, but there really is none]

"Then did that main system who named you 'Da Fuck' messing with us for some damned reason?" Kevin asked as his guys are telling him that the damnable main system is having a good laugh over their misery.

[....]

[ I don't know]

[And I dare not to know]

"Coward." Kevin spited his system for being so timid. It needs to man up if it wants to be contacted with a host for a long time.

"You know what. Let's set this problem aside for now." Kevin said as he and the group got out of the tomb. "Help me find out Angelica's likes on a guy. I need to somehow fit her dream guy list to increase affections from her and leave this place."

[Host you're out of the tomb]

[You can find another girl if you wanted to]

[You guys are going to the city, where there are plenty of population to choose a lover]

"Idiot. If I did that I really will end up with just a casual relationship. You said it yourself, the affections of my girlfriend/lover needs to be at least 80% to let me leave." Kevin scolded. "How can I raise affection that easily? We're also pressed in time! I am a player in this world, although not yet proven, I cannot be left out with the main plot. Sooner or later I will be back in the tomb. I would rather choose Angelica who is nearer to me."

[Reasonable]

[Yes usually players cannot stray away from the plot]

[Us, systems can do it]

[But I am weak for now, I cannot use that function to save you from this trouble]

"Good to know that. I will look forward to that time." Kevin said as he followed the crowd into the parked jeeps a few distance away from the tunnel's entrance. As he expected the outside were sandy and desert-like. He really needs some sunscreen to protect his skin from the blazing sun outside.

Thankfully when the vehicle was running, the air was cool to the skin. Although he is sure he will still get tanned with the amount of exposure he has, he is still happy to be temporarily relieved by the heat.

Unknown to his relieved self, there was an extra passenger in their Jeep. It was a small jade snake with a length of a child's

Pinky finger. It hung on the back of the vehicle, unmoving like a piece of rope.

They then arrived in a small city. It was sparsely populated and a clean and tranquil place. There were children running around, thriving markets, music and laughter, and the rich culture of their people. Evident with their clothing that was made to adapt the blazing desert heat and their habits.

First thing their group did was to find a place to settle down. They found a relatively comfy hotel to rest with the most scrumptious dishes he ever tasted. Something his picky tongue has recognized and approved of.

Next was that they replenish their supplies and add some more. This time having enough to last at least ten days inside to explore. If they cannot finish doing so for the allocated time period, they will go out and release the news to the field for more man power. By then they already reaped enough benefits to not lose out on this discovery of theirs.

Other than taking care of what should be done, Kevin has also done his best to get close to Angelica. She is a rather hard to please girl. Furthermore she is almost as tricky as his second sister in her ways of getting along. She was very critical of his interest in him and was at most playing with his efforts.

To be honest, he does not like girls like her. Other than the fact that she is similar to his ruthless sisters, he is not good with people who play with other's feelings. Taking for granted other's affections due to se vanity or something.

Not that he is saying that Angelica is selfish. Rather she is open to possibilities of romance. Only that she does not like responsibilities that come after being in a relationship. Evident to the way she deals with him and the others who are also quite ambiguous with her.

If there is another choice, he really would find another target. But sadly other options were just too dangerous for him to take risk. He pretty much wants to see his family again. So he has to live through these worlds to stay with them.

So he continued his efforts while the day they returned to the tomb was getting nearer. So near that some players were having a panic attack at the thought of their upcoming doom. Some even tried to run away from the team. But as the system has confirmed, one way or another he will be brought to the tomb whether he likes it or not. This is the reality of theirs inside the gameworld.

Speaking of players, some of them were looking at him with pity in their eyes. As he was rather perspective with other's gazes on him, he was feeling complex with how they see him. For the record he is doing anything outrageous to gather such sympathy in their eyes.

So he found someone who was rather in a good relationship with him. His name was Alfred, a tall man with blonde hair and sky blue eyes. Asking him about what up with other's looking at him with such pity.

The other replied to him after some silence that his endeavor for a girl is destined to be useless. An NPC does not care for the players. Quoting some examples of tragic endings of some players who claimed to be with an NPC. Advising him to stop his actions as it will only hurt him in the long run.

Kevin wanted to retort this conclusion made by the players. If it was true, why did the class monitor respond to his affections? Why did Kathrine go as far as following him in reality where he is? If NPCs do not care, why do some of them even bother to warn them of dangers? He does not understand what made the players think so.

Still he thanked this new friend of his for his advice. Knowing fully well that he meant well. Only that he cannot follow his well-intended words.

It is impossible for Kevin to stop as this is his way out of here. But taking in mind that he might have come out a little aggressive with his approach, he tamed down his approach. Making some players sigh in relief of his early enlightenment.

This time passed by in that manner. And two days later they were back in the tunnel leading to the king's tomb. Armed with heavier backpacks full of supplies, they once again attempted to get into the heart of the tomb. Hoping that they would be successful this time and there are no mishaps during the whole process.
