Chapter 14 - I Will Fight You Soon! (1/2)

Just after he killed the Black Knight, the main screen suddenly appeared in front of him. In it, it says:

[Congratulations on killing the Basic Black Knight. From now on, as you proceed to the next level, you will face two stronger Black Knights. They will be 2 times stronger than this one, be prepared for the next time you try to challenge them again, there's a 90% chance that you will die]

Hikaru felt dizzy after he read that. The Black Knight he just fought was a basic one like the Black Knight in the Undead Burg? What the f*ck? Is the system toying with me?

Nevertheless, he just accepted the fact and tried to move on. He exited the arena and returned to his physical body and he notices it was still night. Though, it's only natural because he fought that Dark Knight for less than ten minutes, which was the most thrilling thing he had ever done.

But he noticed something in the fight, he never lost his cool. If it was him in the past, he would've pissed himself right there. He ignored it for now, cause' he is really feeling sleepy.

He lays on his futon on his back, ready to sleep. He took one last glance at Naruto, who is currently sleeping, and just smiled at her cute sleeping form before closing his eyes and he drifted to his dream world.

(6 AM in the morning, June 8, year 989)

The morning birds sang as the cold wind passed by through them. Trees rustled noisily when the cold gust stirred them.

Naruto woke up and rubs her eyes before she looks at the noise coming from the kitchen. The apartment is small, so the kitchen and her bed are just near each other. She saw Hikaru cooking their daily morning meal, which is bacon and eggs.

He looks at her as he flips the bacon down, and said, ”Oh, you're awake, go wash your face and the food will be ready by the time you finish up.”

But Naruto did not listen and just laid her back against the soft bed of hers.

”No, I'll just sleep. Wake me up again when you finish,” she said lazily.
