A boring day

Tossed to the ground outside Holden held tight to his head. The man placed his guns away looking to the side over his shoulder.

"I have no intention of killing you damned brat! " He scoffed.

"I was getting water! " Holden shouted.

"You ran away when you are now obligated! " He yelled back.

"To be your lackey?! "

"I am going now…whatever! " The man spouted.

Leaving the kid by himself to dust the dry earth from his clothing. Spotting the clerk from earlier who poked her head outside to check on Holden who stayed there.

"What the fuck just happened?" She asked.

"Nothing…"

"You are telling me that is nothing?!" She responded.

"I am, "

Shooting a glance back at the woman. She didn't know what to do watching him from the distance as he faded out walking back to his house.

Holden fished the game back out placing it back into the system. He realized how serious they were in making him play the game, but thinking he wondered if they would really shoot him for not taking it seriously.

Pushing the helmet back on he noticed the static coming from inside the game itself as though it was a bootlegged version.

[Welcome back Holden]

[Equiped Luminious grande steel scythe]

[Equipped Luminious greaves]

[Equipped Luminious helmet]

[Equipped Luminious gloves]

"When it said luminous it didn't lie…"

Checking his style he was a glowing cyan blue mess to himself. Bringing his scythe out he acknowledged the small fine design inside the shining silver metal it was made of.

[Are you ready to be transported?]

"Just go already!" He shouted.

[Welcome to Eelry]

It was simple countryside filled with bouncing happy faced blue and pink rabbits with happy faces. He stood holding his weapon observing their smiling faces and whistling emotes from on top of their heads.

[Don't waste time…please hurry and gain levels]

"What is the rush?" Holden questioned.

[Furry Doom Babbit - level one]

He swiped his luminous scythe at the monster several times with no trouble at all thinking how silly he felt.

[Experience + 5]

[Experience + 5]

[Experience + 5]

[Congratulations level 2]

"Is there a reason I have to level up this way if you all have some shitty plan in the first place?" Hold questioned.

[For now it is best to level normally]

Sighing to himself he continued to level from level two to three to four to five. All within the next couple hours level ten when he decided to stop and take a small rest.

"So what do I call you anyways?" Holden asked.

[I do not understand]

"Do you have a name?"

[I am an intellectual automated program built only to serve]

"So you wouldn't have a name then?" He questioned.

[What good would a name do me]

Listening to the monotone voice speak to him he didn't feel he would get anywhere. Being bored just sitting there he wondered why he would want to stay.

"Do you even understand what I would be saying to you?"

[Not at all, but if it helps you then I can adapt]

Pausing for a moment he sifted through several names in the back of his mind. He mouthed several words together, but saying nothing.

"I guess I won't name you right now."

He shrugged sitting back listening to chats from other parties in the background. His ears perked up several times just hearing girls laugh.

"Why are playing this anyways?" A girl shouted.

The girl was dressed in a big poofy mint green dress with white trimmings. She held a large staff to her side angrily to her friend.

"We got it for free why are you bitching?"

"These games were a pretty penny Rachel." She stated.

"Are you still taking sexual favors?"

"What…" Holden whispered.

They look his way momentarily. Holden quickly pushed his hand over his mouth saying nothing more as they glare at him.

[Those two women are technically famous]

Holden couldn't answer only gauging upon what his system tells him. The other girl toting long blonde hair dressed in a short blue hanfu and cat ears.

[Ava is quickly gaining ranks in media lately and the other is Vaida who is you might know]

Only shaking his head back and forth. Vaida stormed off as Ava chased shortly after her.

[Vaida is known for being personal]

"Personal?" Holden replied.

His face reddened thinking otherwise since she seems to play around. Wanting to ask more questions he stopped himself completely.

[Don't be shy to mingle, but only short intervals]

"You won't even let me have a friend! " He argued.

[I said mingle not friends]

Suspicious of what could be the systems training and refusals, but also what he could get away with in the long run.

"If I can't have friends there is no point!" Holden yelled.

Jumping to his feet he started to stroll to a stronger area ahead of him just by merely turning left on the map. They were still lower levels than his current one.

[Don't over do it]

"Don't tell me what to do!"

He swung with no energy at all bowling down the monsters in front of him. The system finally seemed to stay silent finally leaving him to train.

[Congratulations level eleven]

[Darkness sweep learned]

"What is that?" He questioned.

[When casted with your scythe you draw out dark forces to blow your foe away]

"Why does that read like a pocket creature card…" He mumbled.

"Oh fuck he is so hot!" Ava announced.

A gaggle of people were gathered around a man clad in gold armor. Holden instantly recognized him from the mausoleum.

[Soon Champion Online will be open to the public]

"What does that have to do with this guy?" Holden inquired/

[He is holding the ceremony tomorrow]

Rolling his eyes he turned away. He recalled how he was an ass to him. The sounds of their cheers only annoyed him as he stood there with his dingy weapon.

"So why do I care?"

[He is in the same leagues with Ava and Vaida]

"AND?!"

All eyes were on him from behind. The system only giggled. The knight decided to come forward while all kept a constant gaze on Holden.

"The kid from the mausoleum!" He smirked.

"I am leaving!" Holden stated.

"None sense…I am sorry about last time"
