Plot

"..."

Silence took over all the six men as they could only endure Vi ignoring them, leaving them, and then logging out without hindrance. None of them tried to stop him as they were afraid of suffering the consequences. Not even a trace of courage was left in their hearts as they could only watch the back of the brat who they thought was nothing, left in the area after beating them black and blue.

Of course, they would be afraid to die. After all, dying in this game meant losing a lot of experience points, or sometimes, a level. There was also a chance for them to lose their weapons and equipment as they could be dropped after their death. On top of that, they wouldn't be able to log in for some time, depending on their levels. To someone like them whose levels were about 20, dying could prevent them from logging in for at least a day. And every player knew exactly how important a single day was.

For a good while, none of the six men spoke as they stared blankly at the place where Vi had disappeared from. Recalling the thing they had suffered earlier, they could only swallow a mouthful of saliva as all of them could only think that they had messed with the wrong person.

"Damn, just who the hell is that kid..." Juan was the first to speak up. His tone of voice couldn't hide the fear he still felt.

"From what I see, he is related to Nethaia Roo. Do you know anyone as strong as him who is close to that bi... that woman?" Pedro, who almost said something forbidden, asked in a low voice. His subconscious mind was telling him to watch his words.

"Ugh, why are you afraid of him? He's not even here anymore. No need to be afraid bro." Juan laughed as he teased Pedro. Although he still felt afraid, he took the chance to appear like he was not.

"I am not afraid of him, bastard!" Pedro refuted. He glared at Juan fiercely, unwilling to accept such a claim.

"Anyway, do you think that brat is someone from the White Night?" One of the other four men cut in as he asked calmly.

"That should be the case..." The other five nodded in agreement as they too thought that Vi was someone from the White Night guild.

But upon dawning with a sudden realization, they all gritted their teeth and clenched their fists tightly. Resentment filled their hearts, their eyes became sharp and cold.

"To think that those White Night bastards would still be courageous enough to make a mess with us, Red Sun guild, huh? Let's report this to the guild and find that brat. How dare he act so arrogantly! He must be seeking countless deaths!" One of the six men, the bow-user, expressed his anger. His eyes flashed with murderous intent. He was more than certain that even the White Night guild wouldn't be able to protect that brat with the current predicament they were in.

"Hmph, just because he played a little earlier than us and is definitely at a higher level, he would act so arrogantly. Let's see if he still dares to act that way once we meet again!" Another one exclaimed, and coldness filled his voice. Since they had just played the game three months ago, they naturally treated themselves as newbies. Compared to that brat who probably had played the game for over a year already, they naturally thought that he was way beyond their levels.

All six of them had the same vicious thoughts against Vi. All of whom were determined to put him on the blacklist of their Red Sun guild.

***

As the six men that Vi had beaten up were concocting a plot against him, Vi, the person in question, didn't care about them at all. In fact, their existence didn't even matter to him as though they had never met in the first place.

Right now, Vi had logged out of the game. Still, he was sitting on the game capsule staring blankly at the game helmet he put on his lap. His thoughts were wandering, it was evident that what affected him wasn't the six men, but the words they left about his elder sister, Nethaia Roo.

Did she and her guild really lose from those bastards? Vi had a hard time believing what he'd learned. He felt rather helpless as he had done nothing at all to assist his beloved elder sister.

"Tch! If anything bad is to happen to big sister, I will surely make them pay!" Vi muttered coldly in his heart. His grip on the game helmet became slightly stronger.

With the strong foundation he had built in-game, he was more than certain that it would only take a matter of time before he got stronger. At that time, even the entire Tyrannical Overlords would have a hard time dealing with him.

Vi was lost in thought as he was in no mood to eat breakfast or play the game. All he wanted at that moment was to know the situation his elder sister was in. He felt that he wouldn't be put at ease if he didn't know exactly how his elder sister was.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

It was at this moment that someone knocked behind the door in his room. He subconsciously shifted his gaze at the door only to see it opening the next moment. After that, he saw his mother entering his room.

"Oh? I was just about to wake you up. You've logged out early this time, huh? How's your playtime, my son?" Seeing Vi already up, Mea smiled sweetly as she asked in a soft voice. He walked closer to Vi as he sat on the bed near the game capsule.

In any case, if anyone were to ponder, playing the game was similar to sleeping. As such, it wouldn't give any toll on the body or any side effects if anyone were to play the game all night. Instead, they would even have a good night's sleep if they slept while playing the game.

And that was what most people usually do. They didn't want to waste their night, sleeping in bed when they could sleep much better while playing the game.

Fortunately, Vi was lucky enough to have a personal gaming capsule. He could sleep and play the game all night whenever he wanted and he wouldn't have to worry about his parents nagging at him.

As for the other people who didn't have luck similar to him, they could only cry inwardly thinking that the world was unfair. After all, if anyone didn't have a personal game capsule nor a guild backing them, they could only rent one from the Game Tower where players gathered like ants.

And it costs a lot to play all day and night. Even so, earning in-game was enough to cover all the expenses including meals and medicine. But then again, players wouldn't earn a lot like this and their earnings would only return to the Game Tower, the greatest capitalist.
