Sage [#7]

"...You want me to do what?"

"Push me against the wall and do a kabedon."

"A kabe-what?"

"...Just push me against the wall in front of Jessica and act like you're going to kiss me."

"...why?"

"So her gift gets stronger and I get 100% more xp so I can get levels faster, grow stronger faster, and do more crazy shit. You can even kiss me for real if you want to."

"...okay?"

"...what were we doing again?"

Madon just sighed... "Let's just do this." He picked the boy - "Woah there-" - easily, since he was so light and... really small. He brought him down to the cafeteria of the building, since this enormous building that he owned was used by everyone as their home. Sage, being carried like a cat, looked and waved at everyone as they passed by, making them do a double take-

Is their boss...- Oh, OH!

They just turned around and pretended they didn't see shit.

It took a while, but once Madon found where Jessica was, he lifted Sage, looked at her, looked back at the boy in his arms, and kissed him- Sage was mostly kidding about the kissing, but when the bigger and way stronger man kissed him, there was no fucking way he expected that to happen!

"KYAAA~!"

[Love is in the air!]

[100% Xp and Growth bonus has been applied.]

"..." Madon simply looked down at Sage and put the boy down, turned around, and walked away.

Sage? He immediately entered a game, his body vanished in a show of light blue particles and light.

He's not going to deal with his feeling right now.

At level 15 players unlock a new type of map known as Dungeons. Not to be confused with outside world dungeons, these here were filled with monsters too but also traps and other ways to die than just monsters. He decided to enter a game as Anonymous immediately to take advantage of the bonus of growth and experience he would receive! As his body materialized in the map, his mask easily came over his face before it could be exposed, and his clothes changed in the blink of an eye to his usual Anonymous attire. '...Should I try?' He wanted to do something, he wanted to fucking find the guy who made him lose the last game and fuck with him- Was he being petty? Sure he was, but then again, he didn't really care. "Find Sun Jihan." His words echoed and there was a moment where everything stopped.

"Huh..." Sage's body blurred momentarily before the space around him shattered-

[Player Sun Jihan has been found]

[Entering his map...]

[Map: Conqueror's Tomb]

[Difficulty: High]

"..." Well, this is awkward. Floating right before this rather awkward scene, Sage sighed as he spoke with his Anonymous persona's voice: "I'm sorry for interrupting your perverted bondage ways, please continue." Taking a step back to the hole in space that he used to invade Sun Jihan's game, Sage wanted to go back to his previous game, but it was already too late.

[Kicking player Yoon-Ohan of the Black Eagles]

"Ah-" One of the pompuous guys wearig this weird black eagle medal on his chest turned to light blue particles and vanished into thin air.

[Player ???? Has taken Yoon-Ohan's place.]

"..."

"..."

One of the players tied to each other had just vanished before the other three eyes, making Sage just stand out as the huge hole in space that was behind him vanished- "...I am sorry for interrupting your... Bondage time with your... friends?" Looking at the other two that looked like they would rather piss themselves than be near Sun Jihan, Sage felt like he did interrupt something: "I will come back later, when you are... alone and not doing... this kind of thing." Bowing, Sage was about to use his Log Out that was granted by his System Authority lvl 1 when Sun Jihan said: "Wait a minute."

"Yes?" Sage asked, keeping the same stoic and serious persona. "I am sorry, I have no interest in joining you, everyone has their fetish, but I am not into public sex or doing sexual things while livestreaming it for the whole world to see." Sage was, of course, doing this on purpose! The guy fucking killed him and made him lose a game, so he was going to have his petty revenge against him!

"That's not what's happening here!" One of the people tied shouted: "What the fuck!?" A red aura emanated from Sun Jihan and pressed the lips of the guy together, keeping him quiet.

"Ah, so you also have Force, huh?" Sun Jihan's eyes widened as he turned to look at him- The other two tied players and everyone else in the livestream just heard a *beep* when Sage spoke: "Ah, don't worry, they won't be able to hear what we speak. They'll hear this *beep* every time we speak, so you can speak clearly."

"They'll hear a-" at that moment, Sage grinned as he applied censorship to all of Sun Jihan's words, making even him hear the beep: "*beep* *BEEP* *BeEeEP*-" He paused for a second, understanding coming over his face: "-so that's what you meant by that huh."

"Don't worry, your lips are also blurred, so no one can read your lips to know what you're saying too- What can I say? I am thorough... Now, I initially came here to have my petty revenge and kill you in game, but I am more interested on what knowledge you have... You even have Force too, so you must know things that I do not, and I must know things you do not... So I propose a contract." Saying that, a screen appeared in front of Sun Jihan's eyes-

[Contract

- Sun Jihan must answer 3 questions truthfully that do not break his privacy.

- ??? Must answet 3 questions truthfully that do not break his privacy.

- Once, the other can say "I Do Not Answer" to skip the question asked.

- If the question is not answered truthfully, the liar will receive a -100% debuff for all stats for 1 month.

- All parties shall keep the knowledge they received from these answers to themselves unless granted permission by the other party to spread such information. Failure to do so will result in loss of 100 stats.

- The contract comes to an end after all questions are answered.]

This contract also appeared in Sun Jihan's livestream because Sage did not bother to cover it up- No, he wanted the public to know that Anonymous could make contracts! "See?" Sage shrugged: "Does that contract satisfy you?" Sage waited as Sun Jihan read it over and over again, and hesitantly... "Well, just to sweaten the deal-" He used his authority and Sun Jihan's eyes widened as he received a very special gift:

[Tutorial Limits Off: 5 Minutes]

[One use only. Upon use, all limitations from the tutorial shall be lifted.]

"-that is a gift from me, so consider the deal... You can also skip one of the questions, as previously mentioned." Sae grinned behind the mask, if he did not take this deal then Sage doesn't have anything to win from him do he will simply leave and let this guy live his life, his petty revenge has already been achieved anyway~ He has branded Sun Jihan with the [Bondage Pervert] nickname already!

"...I accept." Sun Jihan hesitated but did agree in the end: "So, I will ask you first... Who are you?"

[One question has been used.]

"I am *beep*, a human from Earth. I am *beep* years old in body and *beep* years old in mind and soul." Sage used his authority to beep out his words, since the contract didn't say anything that he couldn't blur out his words! "And by that I mean that my soul is older than my body due to circumstances... Then, it's my turn now... How have you learned about Force?" Of course he was ready to blur everything Sun Jihan says from everyone else!

"...I came to learn of Force by learning from the one who first discovered it." Sun Jihan answered, a smirk forming on his lips as he also technically answered the question truthfully. "And by that I meant that I conquered it... My second question is, how can you manipulate the Battle Net system?"

"I have the Authority." Beig vague but truthful, Sage spread out his arms: "My turn. You have Force and another power within you... What power is that?"

"Martial Power." Jihan answered without batting an eye: "It is the mixture between a few stats... My turn, How do I acquire Authority in the Battle Net system?"

"I Do Not Answer." Sage continued: "My last question... What is your objective."

"...Get strong enough and stop something bad from happening."

"...I see... You can answer this if you want, but you have no obligation to- You also have access to the Achievement Shop?"

Sun Jihan's eyes just widened. It was almost impossible to notice, but Sage had the [Reader] gift and he could easily read Sun Jihan's body language. "That answers my question." He said and nodded: "...you wouldn't mind if I joined you in this dungeon crawling endeavor, would you?"

"...don't be a dead weight." Sun Jihan turned around and walked away, dragging the other two guys in the rope with him. Those two weren't able to hear what Sun Jihan and Sage spoke, neither was Sun Jihan's livestream.

"I won't." Sage easily copied Sun Jihan's use of the Force and used that absolute authority over the surroundings that Sun Jihan had with his use of the Force, creating his own domain that was easily double the size of Sun Jihan's own authority. Their authority clashed for a split second before Sage's Force passed through Sun Jihan's Force without any issue as he controlled his Force to not be affected by Sun Jihan's Force.

[Underground 6th Floor]

Coming out into this wide and dark space, Sage floated while Jihan walked forward with his two other teammates. "You can leave them to me..." Sun Jihan did not trust Sage- or rather, Anonymous not one bit. "...I see, then..."

[Contract

- ???? Shall not kill Sun Jihan's teammates nor do anything that will stop him from completing the Conqueror's Tomb map.

- ???? Shall actively help Sun Jihan in completing the Conqueror's Tomb map.

- Failure in doing both will punish ???? By lowering all his stats by 10.]

"Satisfied?" Sage asked and Sun Jihan simply nodded, accepting the contract and saying: "I'll leave them to you then."

Soon they were surrounded by thousands of these clay soldiers. There were even some in the ceiling wielding bows!

"Abyss Claws." Suddenly, these enormous spikes of black ice surrounded the duo of players that were tied: "And just to be sure... Shocking Hold." A black lightning bolt escaped from Sage's fingertips into the other two players, making sure they were not able to do anything.

"Let's clear this dungeon."
