Chapter 17 - The New Normal

Alex was speechless seeing Xela towering over him. He was thinking naughty things out of nowhere.

"Xela, please keep your skills under control; we need to concentrate." Alex noticed that Xela was using his abilities.

"Sliver, there's something wrong," Xela says, leaning on Alex's shoulders.

"I know, grasp my hand and ignite your skills because we need to stand out from the crowd," Alex added.

Xela was taken aback by his desire to defy Alex's command. It would be strange for them to touch hands now because they are both men.

But Alex already has Xela's hands in his. They were both taken aback.

Alex was taken aback by the huge gap between their hands. While Xela was stunned, Alex's initiative was hounding his hands.

Xela realized after some thought. His abilities are effective, but they have a bad impact on him.

Alex, on the other hand, can heal and eliminate harmful effects simply by touching the subject.

So long as he and Alex continue hounding hands, the negative effects of his skill will be nullified because Alex is continually healing him.

Xela can help smile while remaining quiet in the situation of his abilities. It appeared that his and Alex's skills complimented one other.

"AH!"

"I need help!"

"What are you doing?"

Some of the Gamers have already begun to kill each other.

Xela was astounded that Alex was correct in predicting that gamers would act in this manner.

Alex was indeed slower than him, as Xela saw. As a result, he raises Alex and runs at the same time.

Xela carries Alex as if she were a princess.

Alex was stunned, but he reminded himself that he didn't need to worry about it and should just trust Xela since they needed to survive together.

Alex also activates his Mind Eyes to detect whether Gamers are attacking their thoughts or to scout for an illusion ahead.

The biggest issue is that they must travel a long distance to get to the place where the first level was built up.

Alex understands that he must engage in combat. He kisses Xela to imitate his skill.

Xela was taken aback by this. It seemed strange to kiss while wearing a mask. Xela didn't think it would work.

They wear masks that cover their entire face. Alex, on the other hand, was still able to kiss him.

"Xela put me down; I'm a fighter." "I'll cover your back," Alex stated.

"Sure Silver," Xela said, leading the way.

Xela had already resigned as a military, but he had an advantage over Alex, who had been a civilian his entire life.

Seeing other people's people and killing them is second nature to Xela because it is his occupation.

He was astounded at how well humanity adapted, to the point where murdering in Desire Games became the new normal.

Alex, who has lived his entire life as a civilian, can kill another person without repercussions.

"I should ask Xela to train me for a close fight," Alex told himself.

Alex was unhappy with his performance. He believed that his acts were squandering the greatest energy. He understands the need for more endurance, so he can't battle for much longer.

The longer he can maintain a high level of intensity, the better he will be in future games.

Xela, on the other hand, was taken aback by Alex's performance. That degree of concentration and action efficiency was exceptional.

" Silver is a superb fighter if he registers and joins the military." He also has a cool brain and a calm demeanor." Xela stated, and she couldn't help but commend Alex on his intelligence.

Alex observed Xela's fighting style and attempted to learn from it. He is aware that he and Xela have different body types, and that Xela's fighting style will not be effective for his body type.

"I need more speed and flexibility," Alex can say about himself.

"Yes, that is exactly what I require. Also, I need to make my present as thin as possible so that they will drop their expectations of me. "So I can properly ambush others," Alex thought to himself.

Alex was battling and didn't realize he was correcting himself.

This confirmed Xela's suspicion that Alex was a natural fighter. Not a risk-free combatant, but rather a dangerous one.

A combatant who is eager to learn. It continued to learn and improve, and he imagined himself to be an expert on anything. As a result, a results-oriented individual will continue to learn and grow.

"I need to work on this quality." Xela can't help but wish he had Alex's learning mentality.

Alex realizes that his opponents are becoming more daring. He notices flaws in their defense.

He had no idea why he was noticing it. But he didn't have time to think.

Alex's only thought is to get to the first-level area. He only needs to walk and conserve energy.

Xela was doing everything he could to help Alex along the way.
