White Online

”Ahh…” Isaac opened his eyes in satisfaction, and a scent of fresh air assaulted his nostrils, which gave him a scent he has rarely had a chance to smell, a scent of summer.

After opening his eyes, darkness was the only thing he saw, except the light coming from the moon.

He slowly moved to sit up and as he stretched his numb muscles, a familiar holographic screen popped in front of him.

[Legacy Tournament Commences in 2 Days 13 hour 34 minutes]

[Contenders: 51]

”51…” Isaac murmured and stood up, but it felt very strange, which caused him to trip, but before he fell down to the ground, with unbelievable timing, he put his other leg in front of him, which stopped his fall.

”Eh?” He frowned and stood straight, but even that felt different.

It was like every move he made was… Smooth, very smooth.

He put his hand in front of him and moved the fingers back and forth.

It was like his limbs listened to him before he even decided to make his move.

”Ah right…” Isaac remembered that apparently, he used Mythical VR Helmet to enter the game, which still feels unreal.

”One way to find out…” Isaac said and murmured, ”Interface…”

A blue holographic screen appeared in front of him, and he looked straight towards the time limit, and the sight shocked him.

He didn’t see any numbers or words.

Instead he saw a symbol…

A symbol of infinity.

”It wasn’t a dream…” He murmured with disbelief, he ruffled his hair and looked outside the window to see empty streets, with light coming from a few of the houses, but most were pitch dark.

He closed the curtains and went towards a gas lamp and turned it on, which colored the room in a yellowish hue.

He sat down on the bed and still felt sleepiness assaulting his senses.

”Weird… I haven’t felt tired before in the game…” His eyelids started getting heavier, and soon he fell asleep in a sitting position.

The sky started getting brighter until it became grey, then blue until it was bright blue with a beautiful yellow object floating in outer space.

”Hmm…” Isaac groggily opened his eyes and thought he would see his room in real-life, but unexpectantly, he saw his rented room.

He slowly stood up and couldn’t believe it.

”Mythical VR Helmet… H-How did dad get this…” He sat down on the chair with a wooden desk in front of him.

The wooden desk was quite torn, making cracking noises every time someone even touched it.

Isaac didn’t mind it and took two items from the Inventory and put them gently on the desk.

Those two items were the ones he received from Duo Dungeon.

Rare Quest Token and Sense Enchantment Token.

He knew what Quest Token does but had no idea about the second one.

”Eh…” Suddenly he felt a chill and finally noticed him being without a shirt, he now remembered that he had destroyed his previous shirt and was now without any shirt.

He scratched his head and whispered, ”I wish I had more clothes…”

After those words were heard in the room, suddenly, the wind started increasing in intensity, making Isaac’s white hair flutter back and forth.

”Damn…” He pushed the bangs out of the way of his eyes and put the two items back on his Inventory.

He pressed a few buttons on the holographic screen, and a Lizard Scale Armor appeared around his body, but it still left his arms visible, without any cover.

”Maybe Bella can help me…” He hoped that she wasn’t busy, he left his room and went straight towards the bottom floor.

Someone obviously heard his footsteps because a certain girl peeked from the kitchen and smiled, ”You are up!” It was Bella, and she looked cheerful as always.

”Bella, I have a favor to ask.” Isaac entered the kitchen and saw Bella cooking breakfast.

”Sure, what is it?” She turned her body halfway and asked with her hands still working on the breakfast.

”I don’t have any clothes, can you buy some for me? I can’t exactly go out looking like this.” Isaac pointed at himself, who was only wearing leather pants and Lizard Scale Armor.

Bella turned around to see Isaac’s outfit and nodded, ”I can do that, any preferences?”

Isaac shook his head and sat down on the chair, ”No, thank you.”

”No problem!” Bella replied cheerfully and put the breakfast on two different plates, which were simple bacon and eggs.

”Thanks.” Isaac took the plate gratefully and instantly took a bite after not being able to last any longer after being overwhelmed by the delicious scent.

Even the food tasted different; it was much more refined, with the taste reaching every fiber, every nerve, every sense in his body. Even the tip of the tongue felt like it has never experienced pleasure like this before.

Isaac closed his eyes and started liking the Mythical VR Helmet even more with each passing second.

Bella smiled after seeing Isaac enjoying it so much. She also started eating, and soon both of them finished.

”I will return in the afternoon, so until then, you have to wait,” Bella said with a sorry smile.

”It’s fine, I will find something to do meanwhile,” Isaac replied and watched as Bella started putting on her clothes, and soon she was ready to leave.

She gave one final smile and left the house, leaving Isaac alone.

”Let’s see…” Isaac again put the Interface in front of him and went to his Friend List, and saw Darth being online.

He tapped his name and started typing a message.

He asked where he was currently, and it didn’t take long for him to receive a reply.

”In the Forest of Unknown…” Isaac murmured and tapped the kitchen table with his index finger; every now and then, he was trying to move his fingers to get used to the Mythical VR Helmet.

He would like to test against a monster or beast, but for now, he has to wait until he can truly see the potential of his new VR Helmet.

Or, it is hard to be called a VR Helmet.

VR Headgear would be more proper, but Helmet has already been a well-known calling term.
