MMORPG: Devilish Prince Plays the Game

The moon shines brightly in the night. Its soft glow lies upon the bustling city full of joy and surprise. You can hear the horns of cars and the laughter of passionate people as the night lights of the streets illuminate the city.

But as much as there is light, there is also a darkness that hides from within.

In the dark and murky alleyway of the city, a rough-looking man ruthlessly beats a young boy. Anyone nearby can hear the pitiful boy's sobbing throughout the alley, but it does not stop the man from kicking the boy in the stomach. The skinny body of the young boy crashed into the nearby trash bin.

Crash!

" Give the money, kid~. I don't have time for this!... " The man edged closer to the helpless boy as he threatened it.

" No, please don't take it! I didn't eat anything since morning. I can't beg for money at night. " the young boy said as tears and snot flowed free from his face.

The 17-year-old boy can't think why the world hates him this much. He can only keep the anger and injustice in his heart as he protects the money in his embrace.

Just as the man is about to continue the beatings, A resounding heavy step comes closer to him.

'' Does it feel good to beat that pitiful brat? " A mysterious voice of a man came from the shadows of the alley.

The vile man quickly looks at the source of the sound in fright.

" I don't give sh*t about who you are! But you better not give a damn about this! You little sh-. " just as the man was about to continue trash-talking, He saw a figure walk out from the shadows.

The moonlight gently touches the young man's face as he steps out from the shadows. He has short black hair, a perfectly heart-shaped face, and a chiseled chin. It is the face of an angel that looks upon the world. The thug's attention, however, was solely on the young man's eyes. It is like an exquisite blue gem that shines and brings light to the night, entrancing anyone that dares to look at its profundity that equals the bottomless ocean.

" Why don't I let you experience the same pain you inflict on others? " The young man continues to walk closer to the man.

" Don't come closer! " The frightened thug pulled up a knife and pointed at the young man that didn't even change expression.

Seeing that the young man is not threatened at all, after moments of hesitation, the man quickly lunges at the young man.

The pitiful boy gasped in horror when he saw the mysterious young man dare to fight the ruthless thugs without any weapon. Just as the young boy thought the handsome young man's blood would soon splatter in the valley, the unexpected happens.

The young man swiftly side-step to dodge the knife, then quickly grab the hand of the thug holding the knife.

A flash of surprise appeared on the thug's face as he tried to pull his hand away. However, It is too late. The mysterious young man slightly bends his knee as he throws a hook.

The heavy punch makes the thug stagger and instinctively touch his bleeding face making the knife drop to the ground.

Without hesitation, the mysterious rushed forward in front of the thugs. He jumped like a tiger ambushing his prey before delivering a devastating flying knee to the thug's vulnerable face.

Bang!

The flying knee was so powerful that it launched the thug through the air and landed heavily on a nearby wall.

Thud!

" Arghh! Huff~ Huff! P- Please stop! I don't know who you are, But here take my money and leave me alone. Spare me. " The thug was barely conscious with a bloody face as he begged the mysterious young man. His begging, however, does not stop the mysterious young man from stomping his legs.

Crack!

"AHHHHHH!"

The young boy's mouth can't help but gape in surprise. He did not expect the viciousness of the handsome young man.

The mysterious young man glanced at the wriggling figure of the thug as he turned his attention to the young boy. A flash of profoundness appeared in his eyes as he slowly walked toward the boy.

The young boy started to feel nervous as he saw the handsome young man approach him. As his heart raced, he closed his eyes in fear and anxiety.

A warm hand grabbed his shoulder a moment later. He opened his eyes to see the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen in his entire life. It's like a bright blue star that brings peace and tranquillity to anyone who sees it.

" Listen, kid. The world is a cruel place where the strong feed upon the weak. People would do anything to satisfy their desire even if they trample others and take their fruit of efforts." The handsome young man moves closer as he directly stares at the pitiful boy's brown eyes.

" That's why you need to be formidable so that others don't take what is rightfully yours. You need to feel the urge to make it to the top! You need to feel the hunger for power! Become the 'monster' that is hiding within you! You should be a monster and learn how to control it. " The handsome young man pulled an apple from his windbreaker and brought it to the young boy's face. " Now tell me, kid. Are you hungry? "

The young boy looked at the bloodied hands holding the apple. He paused briefly before nodding firmly.

" Take this money with you and go somewhere safe... " The handsome young man gave the apple and some money to the kid. He stood firm and walked away, leaving the young boy clutching the apple tightly.

As he approached the end of the alley, the handsome young man looked up at the bright moon. His ocean-like eyes conceal a deep emotion.

A red luxury car waits on the street. It opened its side window, revealing a beautiful woman's face. She has captivating green eyes, long elegant black hair, and her charming face can bring many men to their knees.

Looking briefly at the woman's faces, the handsome young man entered the car.

The beautiful woman looked intently at the young man's face before she spoke softly. "You are a good person, Sir Julian. "

Julian, however, scoffed at the woman's words. " I didn't help that brat because I'm a good person. I only do that to satisfy myself. I also instructed you to refer to me as Julian only when there are simply two of us, Alisa. "

Alisa could only shake her head when she heard this. She started the car after that and drove down the highway.

Feeling bored, Julian looked through the windows. He came across a massive holographic billboard that displayed a cinematic video of people in armor battling a gargantuan red wolf that was gushing fire. A man in unusual black armor and brandishing a red sword gallantly charged forward and leaped at the menacing red wolf. Exactly when they are about to collide, massive and impressive words appear on the holographic billboard.

" Julian, Are you interested in the new game release by Radiant Link Corporation? I've heard it's a well-made and currently the most anticipated game of the year." Alisa said as she saw curiosity in Julian's eyes " Maybe, we can play it together with the boys."

Julian smiled as he observed the magnificent display of the holographic billboard and said, "That's a great idea."

They soon arrive at the front of a seven-story apartment building. As they entered the building, a majestic waiting area filled with expensive-looking decorations appeared to their eyes.

Julian looked around the waiting area and asked Alisa. " Where are Francis and the others?"

"They said they are buying some liquors now. Will you wait for them?" Alisa asked.

" No. I'm going to my room first. See you later, Alisa~ ." Julian said as he waved his hand behind his back.

"Yes, Sir Julian. " Alisa said with reverence in her tone.

Using the fancy elevator to reach the highest floor of the building, Julian soon arrives at his room. Books and anime figures were stacked high in the cabinets of his enormous suite. He took out a futuristic helmet from a box hidden nearby his human-sized anime figure of a goth girl with heterochromia.

Julian shortly arrives at his king's sized bed. The same goth girl with heterochromia is printed on his body pillow as he lies on his soft bed with it. He smiled as he put on the helmet and entered the game.
