Chapter 111: Finding out the Truth (2/2)

”Can't you see the views.”

Novis started counting the number of zeros at the end of the video,

”6..7..8.. IT'S got over a hundred million views.”

Bill then started to tell Novis about what was happening with the community. How the pro teams had put out a bounty to find out who the Virtual sword god was and everything else about him.

Novis couldn't believe what he had just heard. Just by playing a few games as Arthur and George, he had become a superstar without realizing it. Suddenly everything started to make sense to Novis, the multiple friend requests, the reason why Hastam had messaged him and everything else strange that was going on.

”Bro.. are you okay, you haven't said a word in like the last five minutes?” Bill asked

”Yeah, I think I'm going to go sleep for a bit.”

Slowly Noivs started to head back to his room and finally laid down on his bed.

Novis didn't feel too different after all, the attention that he was getting wasn't actually for him but for Arthur and George, he was just a shell but what really shocked Novis was the fact that this was all happening without him knowing about it.

If he had told one person that he had another user ID named Pendragon, then his whole life would have changed. He would have been scouted by pro's and everybody would be wanting to see Arthur's amazing skills.

The thought of what could have happened started to depress Novis a bit. The sound of a superstar lifestyle sounded great but it wasn't due to his work, it was due to Arthurs and Georges.

”Did we do something wrong Novis?” Arthur asked.

”No it's not your guy's fault, you just wanted to practice your sword skills, I guess I just never really knew how amazing you two were.” Novis said, ”It feels like I've been taking advantage of having you two by my side for so long and at the same time I haven't really done anything about it. I bet most people would kill to be taught sword skills from you two and here I am being taught by both of you and haven't really gotten anywhere.”

George and Arthur's hearts started to warm up by Novis's words.

”Novis trust me when I say this but you are not a bad student,” Arthur said. ”Although you may have your flaws, you have worked harder and progressed faster than anyone I have ever seen.”

Although Novis felt better after hearing Arthur's words, he thought Arthur was just saying that to make him feel better. But the truth was Arthur wasn't lying. Novis had progressed at an incredibly fast rate and Arthur couldn't wait to see the day when Novis was at the same level as him. Perhaps surpass him one day.

With all said and done, the day was getting late and it was time for Novis to go to sleep. However, for most people, this would be a time of rest. For Novis, it was time for work.

It was time for him to train in the dream world and learn how to use his Berserker mode.
