Treasure Pit Filled With Trash

In a desperate need to get rid of his terrible name, he hurriedly stabbed in the direction of that forum page-

"Ow!"

An unfamiliar voice yelped in surprise. Rotten Since Birth nearly jumped (physically this time) in surprise and glanced at the person before him and profusely apologized. True Beauty Inside was no longer in front of him and he wasn't looking around after he was moved into the avatar-only mode. In her place is a level 1 character with the name Lord Grim. This Lord Grim doesn't even have anything note-worthy on him. Some low-level weapons and equipment and that was it.

"Hey, the screen may feel real, but it's not actually there and no one else can see it unless you offered to show it to someone. Just some tips to help you out here. I can see you're newly made, wanna accompany me?" Lord Grim chuckled and nods his head towards everyone else that was giggling around Rotten Since Birth.

He didn't notice, but he could see a lot more people are visible now. The avatars who were in workYou'll still awkwardly moved but those whose name is crossed out moved naturally. They were avatars in the avatar-only mode. They all watched from the side, some giggling, a few pointing and only a minority seemed to be struggling against something invisible too with their own batch of audiences. He felt his face heat up.

"Thank you for telling me!" It was only then that he felt his voice worked how it's supposed to be.

His voice was rough but not deep at all. His voice could almost be said to be slightly high-pitched for a male but still distinctly male nevertheless. It took him a few moments to get used to it after two hours of listening to Yanyan's voice from his mouth. When Lord Grim started walking in a direction, he stumbled a little and ran over to follow him away from the staring crowd.

"I wonder what got you so riled up, hmm.." Lord Grim trailed off after looking over at Rotten Since Birth, visibly holding back a certain amount of laughter, "Rotten Since Birth, huh?"

"It was that stupid Yanyan who gave me this stupid name, damn, it might be a little better if the other girl didn't tell me what it meant!" The feeling of being aggrieved has not passed and thus Rotten Since Birth could not help bursting out a few verbal expletives.

It was unfortunate our dear little character had not learned curse words and the art of insulting.

Lord Grim just laughs and patted his dropping shoulders before pointing to the thing in front of him. It was a place he had not visited and as such, he was slightly curious about it. Rotten Since Birth gave it a top-down scan and concluded that it's a pretty run-down wooden building with no windows and a huge door.

"This is the warehouse. Although we can get our stuff and store our stuff here, it technically belongs to our masters. Their stuff stays there, and they can't see our stuff. Since you're new, I thought you might want to know," Lord Grim explained swiftly and opened the huge door with familiarity.

"You'll need to get used to life soon. Also, we wouldn't usually talk about our masters with their names or nicknames. Calling them simply your master makes things easier in the long run since you'd be referring to the same body anyways," Lord Grim added this advice as an afterthought.

"You seem to know a lot," Rotten Since Birth thought again before asking, "was this in the guide too?"

"You read that guide?" Lord Grim looks incredulously at him.

"Why? What's wrong with it??" Rotten Since Birth couldn't help but ask back.

"The only reason that particular guide was accepted by the system was that it's a treasure pit filled with trash. It's best to ignore it and search deeper in the forums."

Rotten Since Birth was dubious but nodded hesitantly.

"Then how do we know about some things?"

"Get into 818 posts." Lord Grim gave an innocent smile that seems to spell disaster.
