Chapter 383: Levels
"If you say so. Is he an NPC? Or a player?" Shu asked as he sat on a chair.
"I’ll tell you later. Anyway, we are in the Resuria Kingdom. You have the compass that can take us to the Ring that we need to return to the Royal Family. What are we waiting for? Let’s leave," Ryder said, smiling.
"We can’t right now. The compass can’t work at night. It’s already late. So we would have to go in the morning," Shu answered, shaking his head.
"Hmm? I didn’t know that. Fine, we’ll go tomorrow. I was already pretty tired today. It’s better to leave it for the morning. Oh, right. What’s your level now?" Ryder asked curiously.
"I am level 40 now. I slowed down levelling in the last few days, or I would be higher. It should be enough, though," Shu answered, embarrassed at his low level.
"Level forty is pretty good. Your growth has been extraordinary. Let me check the level Rankings. I am at the highest level. I should be to see how far the second closest to me is," Ryder muttered as he opened the Level Rankings.
[Level Ranking]
[Rank] [Name] [Level]
1. Hades. 113
2. Lucifer. 68
3. Rei. —
"Right, I can only see the level of person exactly below me. This update really hid the levels of others," Ryder muttered as he went through the rankings.
"Level 68, he was so close to greatness," he let out, sighing.
" Level 68? So that’s his level? I couldn’t see it, but he’s pretty high indeed. The higher you get, the more exp you need. His level is only 28 higher than me, but it’s more than double the effort," Shu exclaimed, surprised.
As Ryder scrolled through the list, he soon found the in-game name of Shu. "What the... You are rank 25 already? Your progress is really fast. What’s happening here?"
" Just some good quests, I guess," Shu replied innocently.
"Also, I got lucky. I went hunting with a group, and we met a monster boss. The entire group fought, and we killed the month monster, but by that time, everyone else was dead, so I got most of the exp and the chain quests, which were non-violent. So I got a hefty amount of exp. Still, I could only reach level forty. There are twenty-four more people ahead of me that probably rose through battle and bloodshed, unlike me who was just lucky," he continued.
"So that’s it. It’s good that your ranking is good," Ryder said as he stood up. "It’s getting late."
"I’ll get a room for him. I’ll see you later," he waved his hand before bidding his farewell. He left with Rale.
He booked a room for Rale to stay before he logged out of the game.
Taking his glasses off, he looked outside only to see that the helicopter was on the ground. They were back home.
Since he had told the driver not to wake him up, the driver listened to his advice and didn’t disturb him even after they landed. He didn’t leave the helicopter either, though. He stayed inside, waiting for Ryder to wake up before he himself fell asleep.
Ryder stood up and tapped on the shoulders of the pilot, waking him. "You did well. You can sleep in bed now."
Stepping out of the helicopter, Ryder went back to his room. It was early morning, and the sky was still covered in darkish hue while the sun started rising in the sky.
Ryder entered the Mansion and walked straight to his room, dropping on his bed.
"So tired. I don’t even want to eat," he muttered as he covered his body with a blanket and made him comfortable before he fell asleep.
Outside in the real world, Adrian was already in the new capital, moving towards the New White House where the president lived.
He wished to have a talk about removing the restriction on his calls and the tracking, because of which he had his phone turned off.
He was sitting in a cab that moved towards the White House, but as it got near, it changed its direction and went in a different direction.
Adrian didn’t know about this place, so he didn’t know about the paths either. He also had his phone off, so he didn’t check the maps.
He only realized something was wrong when he saw the car stopping in the middle of a forest.
"Don’t tell me you wish to rob me as well. I’ve been a really nice man since I entered this city, only killing a few. Why is it that the second cab driver I met is looking to die too much?" Adrian muttered, sighing.
"Master, Adrian. Our Majesty wishes to meet you," the Cab driver said as he stepped out.
"Majesty? Sigh, don’t tell me that guy actually left his cave? I wished to handle everything peacefully without causing much destruction. It looks like that’s not possible anymore," Adrian muttered as he heard the words of the driver.
He stepped out of the can and looked around, only to find a person whose back was facing him. The cab driver stopped behind that person.
"Your Majesty, he’s here."
"Good work, Fifth."
The person turned back, revealing his face.
The person looked like a youngster who barely looked adult. He had beautiful silver hair and light blue eyes.
He was wearing a silver cloak and blood-red gloves in his hand.
"Aluren," Adrian muttered, looking at the guy as he chuckled. "You will look like a kid after so long."
"You’re still as blunt as last time, aren’t you, Adrian?" The Dark Uprising leader, Aluren, replied.
"My phone is off. How did you track me? I don’t have any tracker on me either," Adrian inquired with a bored look on his face as if he actually was interested in the answer since it didn’t matter.
"With a little bit of common sense. You’re someone who can’t bear to be on a leash. You probably hate the fact that your calls are being restricted. Not only yours, but the government is also blocking the entire country from being able to call Russia now. You must be furious. So it’s obvious you’ll go to the President to face a little, ah, chat," Aluren said, as he stepped closer to Adrian.
" From that point, it was simple to wait for your arrival in this city. Anyway, I can’t let you meet the President. We have barely established some form of balance. I don’t care if this country is destroyed," Aluren said in a grim tone.
