White Online

Slurp!

Luna slurped down the chocolate smoothie while the girls talked about White Online's clothes. They liked noble clothes immensely while not being big fans of the fighting attire.

''Luna, I am so jealous of you.'' One of the girls sighed with envy.

''Hmm?'' Luna raised her head with a confused look.

''Everything you wear looks good on you.'' The girl pouted while mulling.

''That's not true!'' Luna tried to lift their spirits by suddenly puffing her cheeks, making her look extremely adorable, ''When I first entered the game, I looked like an ogre!''

''Lies!'' The girls said with laughter.

Amanda tapped the table and asked, ''Luna, did you try those clothes I showed you?''

Luna's cheeks immediately had a shade of pink, ''T-They were cute, but a little bit too revealing…''

Amanda giggled slightly and pulled out her phone, ''Then, what about this?''

She showed a picture of a one-lace dress.

''That's cute!'' Luna looked at the phone with sparkling eyes, ''This can be found inside the game?''

''Yes, but only in Autumn Realm,'' Amanda said and pocketed the phone.

''Mm…'' Luna took another slurp on the smoothie while thinking thoughtfully.

…

Isaac entered his room and plopped down on the bed. He grabbed the VR Helmet from the bedside and put it around his head.

He pressed the button and was about to enter the game. However, a strange electric surge appeared, causing the helmet to malfunction!

''Eh?'' Isaac took off the helmet and tried to press the button. But nothing worked.

''No way, did this break?'' He continued smashing the button, but nothing worked.

However, a long minute later, the visor beeped and started showing rows of mixed words.

''Weird…'' Isaac placed the headgear around his head and pressed the button. This time, the skinsuit engulfed his body.

He lay down on the bed and said, ''Enter…''

After his face turned emotionless, the helmet strangely let out electrical currents.

…

Isaac appeared in his temporary room, where he put his temporary spawn spot. He left the room and went straight to the first floor.

The store was already bustling with customers.

Ghost sat behind the counter. He also opened the store by himself today. Isaac taught him everything, and he ended up becoming a good shopkeeper.

''Master!'' Ghost stood up and moved out of the way so Isaac could sit down on his chair.

''Thanks, good work.''

''Thank you!'' Ghost saluted and returned to the backroom. In there, he started cleaning.

The shoppers came with their books and paid for the books before leaving.

That went on for the next half an hour until Isaac called out Ghost from the back.

''Yes, master?'' He came with the floor scrubbing brush and a slightly dirty face.

''I am going out, so continue the cleaning later.''

''Yes, sir!'' Ghost sat on the chair and continued being a shopkeeper.

Isaac left the store and walked down the streets.

After walking down for ten minutes, he found a carriage he could rent.

The carriage driver acted professionally and told the price of the trip.

Isaac paid him and entered the carriage. It will head straight to the Winter Realm portal.

The horses neighed and galloped down the streets while dragging the heavy carriage behind. The driver used the whips to control the speed of the horses.

The carriage turned left, right, left, right, straight until finally arriving in the area close to the Realm Portal.

Isaac looked out of the window with amazement. There was an insanely large doorframe made of stone. It was taller than the nearby buildings.

On top of the door frame, the majestic words 'Winter Realm' adorned the top. There were dozens of guards guarding the place while the pedestrians walked by calmly.

Many looked at it with envious gazes. It was most of their dream to reach the Winter Realm even once in their lifetime. It was a legendary realm that was situated right below God Realm.

''We are here.'' The driver said from the tiny window.

''Thanks.'' Isaac exited the carriage and looked up. He was right under the enormous shade of the realm portal.

Clench…

''Is it really impossible…'' A depressed-looking middle-aged sat on the dirty pavement. His clothes looked ragged.

Isaac, with side-glance, saw the depressed man.

''Winter… I want to feel it…'' He clutched his chest and coughed out blood. He wiped the blood away and sighed, ''Before my death arrives… I want to feel the coldness caressing my face… I want to feel the presence of Gods before entering the grave…''

Isaac looked at him silently, 'The residents of Autumn Realm treat Winter Realm as their ultimate goal. It is like reaching the heavens for them…'

'To reach the realm, level 600 is needed. Otherwise, instant death would await on the other side. The temperature is freezing cold, nothing compared to the place where Legacy Tournament was held.'

He slipped his hands inside his pockets and casually walked in the direction of the Guards. However, stopped before reaching them.

'Level 600… I need to reach it…' Isaac pulled out his hands, 'To increase the percentage is so tricky. I need to suffer from my fights to even increase by 1%. However, I am stronger than everyone around me. I need the battle to make me feel like I could lose.'

'I can't trick the percentage and use only 1% power during my fights, it won't work like that…'

Isaac rubbed his chin and walked away from the guards. There were only a handful of players who could challenge him in a fight. There were strong NPCs, like the Guards, who were level 500.

However, attacking NPC was like announcing yourself as a criminal. It was different when fighting against monsters and wild animals.

'Right… he wanted to meet me.' Isaac thought and remembered the scene that happened two weeks ago. Lord Kalzer completed the dungeon.

He also sent a message that circled around every news station.

The message said that he wanted to meet Wraith and fight him.

'Maybe he can defeat me…' Isaac's eyes turned powerful, 'Well, it's time to try. He is part of Mercenary Group that he surprisingly created half a year ago, and it has been the strongest Party ever since.'

'I have made my decision…' Isaac opened the interface and checked his friend list. In there was a name in golden letters, Lord Kalzer!

He pressed his name, and the chat recorded only several messages.

[Lord Kalzer: Congratulations]

[Wraith: Thanks]

[Lord Kalzer: :)]

Isaac tapped on the holographic keyboard and sent a message.
