Chapter 33 – Episode 33: Toxic Behavior.

[Affinity: An NPC can show their interest towards players and would like to build a bond between them and the players. Getting an Affinity from NPC is the rarest phenomenon, but once you received them, you can strengthen your bond as if they are human beings. Be careful that you might lose their interest if you disappointed them.]

Avriel is raising her eyebrow and still crossing her arm.

"What are you going to do now after you got Krestan's leg?"

I look at her fingertips and there are bloodstains on it.

"You fought someone when I'm trapped inside the palace?"

Avriel shows his hands and nods.

"Yes, I killed my own men when they are about to enter the palace to hunt you down. I had no time to explain the situation to them."

I raise my eyebrows and look away with disbelief. Avriel laughs.

"Why I did that? Because I don't want my men to be the emperor's dog anymore, so I killed them. It's better that I killed them with my own hands than they died in mission under that pig emperor orders."

I nod with understanding even though I still can't believe she did that. Avriel approaches me and tilts her head.

"You haven't answered my question earlier."

I'm humming.

"Well, I'm planning to get the rest of Krestan's limbs. So I'm going to the Aarus Empire and then to the Alliance Kingdoms."

I look at her and she knows what I'm about to ask her. She smiles.

"You need my information about where are they keeping Krestan's limbs?"

I nod and smile.

"Yeah."

Avriel is humming with understanding.

"I will tell you where they keep Krestan's limbs. I know exactly where they are at. But I have one condition."

I tilt my head and she continues.

"I want to stick around with you. I would like to see you in action like back then again. Of course, there is another reason. I want to take care of my men that are deployed in those sovereignties, either I have to kill them or convince them to follow me. As I said, I don't want them to work under the emperor. It is easier to do that since they all know that I betrayed the empire by now and will look for me."

I'm humming with understanding and look at the sky.

"Alright then, let's get…"

A notification appears on my screen.

[Someone wants you to wake up.]

Avriel is looking at me and waiting. I sigh.

"I have to go for now. Let's meet up somewhere when I'm back?"

Avriel writes something on a piece of paper. Then she gives it to me. It's a coordinate to where we will be meeting at. Avriel walks back into the shadows.

"I will know when you are there. I will find my men until you are back."

Avriel then disappeared and I logged out from the game.

I open my eyes and the sunlight hit my face immediately. I can't open my eyes. Emma is sighing.

"You have been playing for more than 14 hours! It's 10 a.m. already."

Something cold is pressing on my forehead. My eyes immediately opened and it's a cup of ice coffee. I grab it and drink it. I look at Emma and she's crossing her arms.

"I bought brunch for both of us. I was planning to wait for you until you log out on your own this morning and make breakfast together. But you kept playing and I'm starving right now, so I bought those."

Emma is pulling me up.

"Come on, let's eat. I'm starving!"

I chuckle and stand up.

"Thanks for waiting. Let's go."

Emma nods and smiles.

We ate our brunch. I'm so full and lazing on the couch in the living room. Emma is looking at me while eating ice cream.

"So, you stole something from Eluna Empire?"

I tilt my head because I'm surprised that she knows.

"How did you know?"

Emma is shaking her head and staring at me.

"Really? Of course I know, it showed your location in my friend list. Not just me, but Ivona and the others also know about it. We were doing a quest when the VoW appeared."

Right, it is shown in my status…

Emma is looking at me and sits beside me. She's smiling with excitement.

"So what did you stole?"

I'm rubbing my chin while looking at Emma.

"It's a secret! You will know what I stole later on."

Emma is booing and pinches my nipple.

Now that I think about it. I will be facing her, Ivonna, and the others when I have to steal Krestan's eye from Alliance Kingdoms. I hope they won't get angry at me when I do that. Should I get it when they're not online? But I'm sure they will be angry at me when I do that. Well, I'll let my future self think about it when the times come.

Emma is looking at me weirdly.

"What were you thinking just now?"

I smile and shake my head.

"Nothing! Anyway, I'm going to lazing around in my bedroom now. I want to lay down and read the forum on my phone."

I left and went to my bedroom. I laid down on my bed and looked at the forum on my phone. I still have around 88 hours or 88 days in-game time before Krestan's quest failed. I planned on resting for 6 hours before I go back online. Then I found an interesting thread. Diamond and Lothair made a statement.

[What truly happened on the emergency quest.]

[Diamond: We have seen so many threads asking about what happened and people's answers are far from the truth. So we posted this thread to clarify all the rumors and false information.

First… No, we were not letting the culprit escape and we did not work with the culprit so we can get the profit from the item the culprit stole from the palace. We tried our best to capture the culprit but we failed. The culprit is just one person. We don't know who he is, but we took a screenshot of him. Here are the screenshots we took […]

Second… Yes, he was way stronger than us. We admitted that he alone massacred the Diamond Clan and Cloud Veil Clan. Lothair and I agreed that the culprit could be stronger than Kingstar and Queenstar.

Third… We know what he stole from the palace. It wasn't legendary items or something like that. We will not expose the item he stole to the world. We believe it's not something important since we read about the item he stole from the empire's library.

Lastly. We apologize to all the players from the Eluna Empire's faction. Because of our lack of power, we let down the empire and everyone is getting punished by the system. We will take responsibility for it, and we will be helping the players from Eluna Empire's faction for the next 100 days in-game time.]

I read the comments and everyone is asking about items that I stole. The screenshots of me that they took are terrifying. I never thought I would look like a psychopath serial killer with the hoodie, mask, and scarf. Then one of the commenters posted a link to Kingstar and Queenstar live stream's highlights. I click the link and it redirects me to Utube.

Kingstar and his clan members were looking for mini-bosses and bosses in one of the hunting maps. A VoW appeared in the sky about the Eluna Empire's faction failures. Kingstar laughed.

"See? I told you they will fail. I'm not surprised since Eluna Empire's faction is so weak. I still can't believe some players joined the Eluna Empire. There's a reason why nobody dares to steal something from our empire. It's because everyone knows that it's impossible."

They all laughed and kept bad-mouthing the Eluna Empire.

This guy is really toxic. I think the majority of Supremacist Clan are toxic as well. I wonder why they're behaving like that. But I'm not surprised since they are indeed the strongest clan right now with more than a hundred thousand active members.

I scoff and shake my head. I'm looking at the time and I still have around 5 hours before I go back online. I'm thinking of plans that might work against them. I jump out of the bed and turn on my PC. I search for the Aarus Empire's buildings blueprints, especially the palace of the Aarus Empire.

I printed it out and started to think about the perfect spots to hide and ambush them. After I found the perfect plan, I memorized the scribbles that I wrote on the printout of the blueprints. I sighed and leaned on the chair while looking at the ceiling. Then I noticed that I spent the time I should've used to rest. I went to our gaming room. Emma already in her pods. I laid down on my pod and logged in.

I open my eyes and look at the timer.
