Chapter 78: I will be the one to kill him first (1/2)

Michu woke up in his VR Capsule.

He got forcefully kicked out of another world and appeared in his world where his family had been waiting for him. It was a proper system for the player's safety, but many would've immediately lunged back to the game to check their characters.

The monke's goal was to check on his family first, ”Um, I drank for the first time...”

After seeing his mom's narrowed eyes, Michu caressed his chin like a monke and waited for her anger. However, a sigh escaped her lips and that was it. Was it because of Yumi by her side?

Of course, her son was already nineteen years old so it was both!

”How do you feel? I don't know about drinking in-game...” Mom asked.

”Um... I feel good,” Michu replied, then left the capsule.

He found out that the atmosphere in the house was a little different than usual.

It seemed like something happened while he was drunk, but what could've possibly happened to make them?

”Is the chosen game unfavorable for us?” Michu asked as he couldn't think of anything else.

”It is Survival Game, so it's good for us... However, Zerze is no longer your friend,” Venomous sighed as well.

She had talked with Nana about Zerze while Michu was asleep.

Knowing her brother well, Nana told Yumi that Michu probably approached him because Zerze was alone.

Her brother arguably associated Zerze's loneliness with his own.

This made Yumi's heart bitter.

It wasn't like she also couldn't think of it, but hearing it from the little sister heightened her worry. If by any chance Michu hadn't met Zerze, then their Regional Tournament experience would be pretty much exciting.

They would fight together against the popular figure and snatch away his ability...

”That's... sad...” Michu didn't know how to feel.

His girlfriend got threatened by Zerze, but he couldn't bring himself to hate him. It was just a few hours, but they had a nice talk after all. Moreover, it was a game so it didn't have that much meaning.

But it was a wrong thought.

Fortunately, Michu realized it quickly. Both Yumi and Zerze had fought hard for the Impossible Quest's rewards. Their time spent here wasn't long compared to the rest, but the same couldn't be said about hardships.

To get such a powerful reward, they must've toiled!

”It's okay... I won't let him snatch your reward, Yumi...” Michu glanced at Venomous, ”If he tries to kill you, I will be the one to kill him first.”

”We will both take him down,” Yumi smiled, but Michu's expression didn't match the words he just said.

[Earth, Eastern Region.]

[Hospital.]

It was night already.

In the room where the moon barely could sneak itself into, a man with blue eyes sat down before the bed where a lady with similar features to him silently slept. Due to the hospital's tools, her breath was loud and clearly heard by him.

Zerze hovered eyes on his sister, grief, and regret swirling within those.

His sister was the only family left he had.

They were both born in a wealthy family, but after their father passed away, Zerze and his sister were left alone with their mother who just couldn't operate a business at all. Her husband's business partners snatched all money and assets, leaving their family without a penny.
