13. You Can Call Me Gin I

A/N : Sorry for the late update. Working while attending college is so much tiring than I thought. Anyway, I think I can only update about 2-4 chapters a week with how little free time I have. I'm still trying my best to adapt as a new writer so please bear with the unstable update but I promise I will try to upload 1 chapter every day in the future.

Well, thanks for reading this novel, enjoy!

___________________________________________

It's been 2 hours since we have done the deed between a man and a woman.

It seems the stress of being sent to another world, getting involved in an unfamiliar game, and the burden of my whole life has been piled up to the limit yesterday but I can't deny that letting all of my pent up feeling out made me feel better.

I never thought that I have those dark feelings within me- no, it would more correct to say that I subconsciously buried those dark feeling deep inside my heart so that I could live normally with my so called family.

I don't know why but there's must be a reason why my step father never stopped the family to sent those assassins aiming for my life.

My mother also have her own reason to join this game, I mean she never had any interest in the celebrity world but suddenly she became one in a flash.

Maybe she can gather Etherion by having her fans 'worship' her in their own way. It should work the same with the rest of my family as almost the entire Konoe family members were a celebrities in their own fields.

There are cooking celebrities, fitness celebrities, dramas celebrities, singer celebrities, and many more fields.

I think it suffice as a reason if the whole Konoe family is part of the Etheria faction. Now, I only need to confirm it from my currently unconscious little sister, Mirai.

Of course I don't have any plan to reveal my identity to her, I will just pretend to be a good player that helped her for her beauty, that should be a good excuse.

Since she dropped her cards when she passed out, right now I'm the one who hold her cards so there should be a way to get the information I want from her.

Maybe I could even say that I was from earth and acted 'surprised' after finding out she came from the same planet as mine, then we can work together for a while as I squeeze some information from her.

Acting as a young master from a secret family from earth also a good plan to make her not ask about my identity or which family I come from.

Alright, let's go with this plan.

Just as I finish cooking up my plan, one of my soldier came to me and brought the news of my little sister waking up so I wear a helmet that cover my face entirely with only a small slit for my eyes to see.

'Time for some acting.' (Jin)

-Mirai POV-

"Ugh... Where am I?" (Mirai)

I woke up in the middle of a forest. While looking at my surrounding, I felt relieved to see no sign of other player.

'I felt hurts all over my body. Ahh, I remembered now! That damn vixen, how can she ambushed me like that.' (Mirai)

I was ambushed by someone from my own home planet out of jealousy because the guy she has her eyes on likes me.

I know that she has some screw loose in her head but I didn't expect her idiocy to be this severe.

'That blind girl, we were supposed to help each other out as players from the same planet, how brazen she is to violate the pact between all of the earth noble families.' (Mirai)

The unity pact of earth, it was a pact that were made by all of the noble families that involved with the universe game, Carta Planar.

The pact stated that we have to help each other out in the time of war with other planets.

The pact still allow the young generation to compete with each other but it only applies when we are still at earth.

If it in a game match then the pact stated that we must help each other out at all cost.

Earth situation is not that good right now with earth leader recent death in the war against the Brins so we need to unite at this time of crisis but I think we are expecting to much from that idiot to do as the pact state.

I will just report her when I got back to earth. It was fortunate that this is a newbie match so the danger is not that high.

Though this is my first game, I already learned everything I need to know since I was young.

All members of Konoe house have the obligation to join the game at 15 years old and need to learn about it since we were 5 years old.

Although I said everyone, actually there's someone in my family that the family elders prohibited to join the game and that person is my big brother.

If I have to say our relation is normal as siblings but because he is not part of this world, me and all of my other siblings has some difficulty to approach him as our normal daily conversation cannot be discovered by him because it contains the information about this game.

Though we seem to be distant, actually me and all of my siblings still care him a lot. Both of my moms and dad always teach us that a family is not all about blood relation and stuff like that.

So even though all of my cousins and elders always called him an outsider, he still a brother in our heart. It was frustrating to watch my brother going distant because of those fools, but unfortunately we don't have the strength to fight them back.

Anyway, I stood up and start to check all of my belongings but to my despair, I couldn't find my cards at all inside my card pocket.

"Wait, where's my cards? She can't be that idiot to take my cards right?!" (Mirai)

After I realize what kind of situation I'm in right now, I couldn't help but shout in panic and despair.

It was at that moment that I heard a voice from behind me. When I look back, I met the gaze of a person that exude a familiar aura but since he wore a helmet that cover all of his face, I couldn't tell whether I know him or not.

"What are you screaming for girl? Does having a world wide fan base is not enough for you to the point you are trying to attract the surrounding beast with your scream? If that's your intention then I won't stop you at all, go on proceed with what you were doing before. I promise I will keep this secret hobby of your, bye." (Jin)

I don't know who he is or what his intention is but what I know is that he is not hostile to me at all.

And since he said about my fan base, then that means he recognize me so in conclusion he also a player from earth! I can ask help from him, thank god.

But before I could even say a word, he suddenly turn his body away and start to walk away from me.

Since I don't have anything left with me to protect myself, the only thing I can do now is to beg for his help and wish that he's a player from earth as well.

"Wait a second! Please hear me out first!" (Mirai)

- Jin POV -

As I walk away from my little sister, she called out to me. I guess this a good start for my act.

"Hmm? Do you need something from me, girl? For your knowledge, I'm into Kirari more than you, but it still nice to meet an idol in this middle of nowhere." (Jin)

I tried to joke with her to set a character that I choose to act in front of her. As siblings, we never interact more than we need so she never saw me act playful so she won't be able to guess that I am her brother.

I wanted to tease her but she instead released a relieved sigh after hearing that I know her as an idol from earth.

"*Sigh* You don't know how relieved I am to meet a fellow earthling." (Mirai)

"Hmm? What are you talking about? I don't see any earthlings around here, I only a young beauty in front of me." (Jin)

"Alright, stop playing with me. According to the unity pack we as fellow earthlings should help each other out when we meet each other in a game match. Though I don't know who you are since you are hiding your face, I expect you as a noble descendant to adhere the pact." (Mirai)

The unity pact? So the earth also have that kind of pact between those so called noble families. A pact to help fellow earthlings in game match, this is a different pact from the one I got to know before.

The universal pact is an agreement between most of the nobles in the entire universe that involved in this game and it only cover the rookie match. The pact bind all the members of the families that agreed to the pact so that they won't kill other noble descendants.

Although I am a part of the Konoe family on paper, I don't have any blood from the Konoe flowing inside me, that's why the pact didn't activate when I killed that noble guy as I am in fact not a noble at all.

The pact only cover the noble families descendants, as for the others, they are free to get killed. That's why most of the players that came from a simple background usually choose to make a group to increase their survival rate as the noble descendants will hunt them down, just like how I hunt them.

As for this Unity pact from earth, it's scope only cover around noble players of earth to help each other out whenever they met in a game match.

And since most of the players from earth were part of a noble family, she also assume that I was one to just like her.

"*chuckled* You don't have to emphasize on the pact part, I won't hurt you at all. Anyway let's start over, you can call me Gin and I will call you Mirai alright." (Jin)

Gin, that's the name that I decided to use as my alias.

"Just Gin? How about your family name?" (Mirai)

"It's a secret alright. I can't disclose my identity right at the moment because it's quite sensitive." (Jin)

"Hmm... okay, well it's my pleasure to meet you to Gin. By the way Gin, do you see any Etheria cards around here? Though I'm a bit embarrassed to say it but I lost all of my main cards." (Mirai)

"About that, I found this cards scattered around here, you can check them." (Jin)

Whoa... I reallly having a conversation with her. When was the last time we talk to each other like this? Usually our conversation was like 'are you hungry' or 'mom told me to give you this' stuff like that.

If I remembered right I never had a long conversation with her like this.

"You are really my savior Gin, they all are my main cards! I appreciate your help a lot, if you need something from me in the future, just ask. I owe you one for this." (Mirai)

'Well, I took them from you after all so of course they are all your cards.' I thought.

"Anyway, why did you ended up like that in the first place? I mean there's no way you would be still alive if you lost in a battle, no offense intended." (Jin)

"*Sigh* I didn't lost in a battle or something like that. I was back stabbed by that crazy girl from Perula family. We met by coincidence so I invited her to work together with me." (Mirai)

"With all the rumors around you should know that she likes Aaron Stourn, the heir of the Stourn family, unfortunately that guy likes me so he didn't reciprocate her feelings and now she hate me for that. I thought that she won't do anything stupid since we're currently inside a match but it seems I had underestimated her idiocy." (Mirai)

"Whoa, that's a spicy drama there. You have my condolences, Mirai." (Jin)

"Thanks." (Mirai)

"You are quite an easy going person for a lady from the prestigious Konoe family. I thought you would be like those other cold beauty with jade like skin girls that doesn't like communicating with others." (Jin)

"I work as an idol so of course I have to be able to communicate with every person that I met kindly. Also, don't think bad about those girls, it wasn't their own intention to be like that, they became like that because of their own family upbringing." (Mirai)

"For being able to think such way, you are quite the kindhearted person." (Jin)

"It's not like that, I only knew about most of their circumstances because I have a few friends that live like that. They even said that they are jealous with how much freedom I have. Alright, let's stop chitchatting and focus on the game." (Mirai)
