Chapter 197: Reincarnation Problem (2/2)

”It's this guy named Connor. You probably don't know him, but this guy came out a month ago as one of the strongest players at the time,” Hannah said.

Alex remembered the person. He was the one with the interview from back when he was only a week into the game. ”I saw his interview. What about him?” Alex asked.

”Oh, you did? It's just that people were constantly asking in the forums why this guy wasn't invited to the show or why he didn't want to show up, and he finally made a post on his own.”

Alex was a little curious about this as well, so he asked, ”What about him? Did he not want to come?”

”No, it seems he did. But it turns out, his character died while fighting a relatively stronger monster in the forest. He says, the monster wasn't necessarily stronger than him, but it was more poisonous and he got caught up in the poison.”

”Tsk Tsk. Poor guy had to restart all over again, and also lost all of his amazing body and talent. He says he respawned as trash now. He is barely at Bone Tempering realm after 2 weeks of cultivating and constant usage of spirit stones. If this keeps up, he will end up using his entire fortune on the game.”

Hannah kept on shaking her head.

”That's quite a coincidence,” Alex said a little surprised by the news.

”Hmm… coincidence? How?” Hannah asked.

”Emily said that after her character died, she too got really bad talent and body. She is restarting her climb once again, but with mortal grade talent and body, it will probably take a long time,” Alex said.

”Oh, that is actually not a coincidence at all,” Hannah said, which confused Alex a lot.

”It's not?” he asked.

”Yeah, there have been many other people who have died and gone back to the game only to find that their new body was unbelievably worse than their first one. It's like the game is punishing them for dying or something,” Hannah said.

”Woah, I'm glad I didn't die a month ago. I was damn near close to as well,” Alex said.

”You were?” Hannah asked in surprise. ”What happened?”

Alex proceeded to tell her about how he fought against the wolf to protect Pearl and his mother.

Hannah cringed when she heard that the wolf bit his skull and left him bloodied. ”Ouch, that sounds like it hurt a lot. Well, at least you didn't die from it. And hey, you also got a beast companion from it. I wanted to get one as well, but the monster cubs take too long to grow up,” Hannah said.

”Yeah, my cat is quite cute and very strong too,” Alex said. They stopped talking and finished their food. Alex helped with the dishes and only returned to his room at around 4 pm.

He logged back into the game and checked his communication talisman, but there was no message. So he messaged his master to ask where she was and if she had the time to meet him. He got a message back.

”I'm in my home. You can come right now.”
