[RockPlayer: WHAT THE ****]
[StarLover42069: KingOfGames I want your babies <3]
[EROVAL: HOW?!?!?! My friends and I are only in the Village Saving Quest, how did he manage to beat the World Quest already!?!?!?!]
[KOG_Is_The_Best: He is THE KingOfGames, he has done some messed up shit for years! Beating a World Quest alone? Pfft that is fucking easy for him!]
[SandShow: I bet all my earnings that he is a hacker! This game has only been around for 3 years and he is already over 400 levels?!?! Hello Game developers, what the fuck are you guys doing?!]
[KOG_Is_The_Best: Another one of these fools... ^^]
[Undying: @SandShow You are new right? There have been tons of reports against him, but the Game Developers always had one answer 'He is just better than everyone else.' He isn't cheating, he isn't hacking. There is a way to Level Up faster while defeating opponents who have a higher level than you, but that needs incredible Mechanical Skills, which many doesn't have, but KingOfGames has the best Mechanical Skills in the world.]
[Surname44: @Undying Well said Undying-senpai!]
[KOG_Is_The_Best: @Undying <3<3<3<3]
The internet was busy, with hundreds of conversations going on at the same time.
But during this time... Ichiro was still in-game while being oblivious of the shock he caused.
...
Ichiro's avatar left the Sacred Forest of Darcelion.
With steady steps, the armored avatar kept walking on the small rocky road.
''What should I do now.'' Ichiro thought, he looked at the map a few moments ago, and he saw that there was a small village not far from him.
He decided to go there and decide what to do next after arriving in the village.
Ichiro kept walking for another half an hour, some people would find it boring to spend so much time doing nothing in-game.
But Ichiro didn't even use the sprint button on his controller; instead, he only walked at a leisurely pace.
A few moments later, Ichiro started thinking that he might be lost.
But then he saw a small wall coming to his sight.
He saw that it was about a hundred meters away from him.
The small wall was made of wood and looked very unreliable.
But it can keep the smaller beasts away from the village, but if some of the bigger ones come... The wall wouldn't do anything.
Ichiro started walking towards the shabby-looking wall.
Once he arrived, he instantly heard multiple footsteps running in a hurry on the other side of the wall.
Ichiro didn't move, instead waited.
Sometime later... The gates of the village opened.
Ichiro saw multiple figures coming with shabby-looking outfits, which looked more like a rag than actual clothes.
Ichiro saw that only one of them had a name.
The figure in front.
[Village Chief of Lordvayn - Lambard - Level 201]
''Hello Adventurer, what is your purpose here?'' Lambard asked with slight wary.
Ichiro is thinking that should he use the mic to answer, because there isn't any other way to answer.
Ichiro tried and said. ''This was the closest place to human civilization, that's why I am here.'' He said in a simple manner.
Lambard nodded and looked thoughtful for a moment.
He can clearly see the items the adventurer in front of him was extraordinary, he can't be ordinary
''I see, come in then adventurer.'' Lambard motioned to go inside the village.
Ichiro walked casually and entered the village.
He finally could see a clear picture of the village's state.
Most of the houses were broken, holes filling the walls, floor, and ceilings of the house.
Also, the villagers were wearing rags as their clothes, which is surprisingly even dirtier-looking than the village chief's rag-like clothes.
''This is our village called Lordvayn, I know that it looks shabby, but it is our home, so I would like you not to think bad of it,'' Lambard said towards Ichiro and waited for his reaction.
Ichiro looked surprised in real life.
'I have seen a lot of poverty in my last life, and I have never made fun of them, and I will not start now.' Ichiro thought.
''I am only a guest of this village, I try not to be disrespectful.'' Ichiro moved his avatar and did a small bow.
Lambard looked shocked, but his face went normal quickly, he gave an approving nod and started walking deeper inside the village.
Ichiro moved his avatar and started looking around the village.
Even though the village is in poverty, it still looked like the villagers and children were happy with their lives.
He walked deeper inside the village and saw a very strange sight...
He saw a player with a female avatar sitting on the bench, while a dozen children were in front of her.
''Alright kids, that was all for tonight.'' The female avatar said with a voice filled with youthfulness and gentleness.
The kids in front of her groaned in disappointment but nodded sadly.
The kids left after giving a last hug towards the female avatar.
Ichiro looked at the scene with fascination.
The female avatar looked gently towards the kid, but then she felt a gaze on her.
She turned her head and looked straight at Ichiro.
She looked shocked at first because rarely do any players come here.
''Who are you?'' She asked, her tone instantly was shy, she rarely comes in contact with any player.
''Ah...'' Ichiro was brought out of his thoughts and he slightly panicked because it was his first conversation with another player.
She kept looking at Ichiro, waiting for his answer.
*Cough*
Ichiro coughed to get out of embarrassment, but he only coughed in real life.
'Why am I coughing?!' Ichiro thought, he shook his head.
''This was the closest place on map.'' Ichiro replied.
The female avatar nodded and stood up from the bench and was about to leave.
But then Ichiro yelled. ''Wait!''
The female avatar stopped, she turned her head and looked at Ichiro.
''W... Why did you treat them like they were humans?'' Ichiro asked, he was very curious.
The female avatar exclaimed in the voice chat.
She thought for a moment and decided to answer, she sat down on the bench.
Ichiro walked a little bit closer and waited for her answer.
''What do you think about this game?'' She asked.
Ichiro thought for a moment, before answering. ''Magical.''
''Indeed, it is Magical, but we the players are only visitors in this world while the so-called NPC's are true residents.''
''But isn't this just a game?'' Ichiro asked with curiosity.
The female avatar looked at Ichiro's figure. ''Have you not seen it? The NPC's feel so real, they can talk to you normally like you are talking with another player or human. How is that possible without NPC's having even slight Artificial Intelligence?''
Ichiro looked shocked.
''There have been rumors of this game's NPC's having first Artificial Intelligence, but there haven't been many proofs, but the way NPC's are acting... They can evolve, they can live their lives however they want, they aren't connected to anything. They are like... Humans.''
Ichiro looked thoughtful while looking at the female avatar sitting on the bench.
''That's why I hate those people who kill NPC's for fun!'' The female avatar said angrily, then she turned her head towards Ichiro and asked. ''Have you killed any NPC's?''
Ichiro thought for a moment and went through his memories.
And he saw that he has only killed monsters.
''Only monsters,'' Ichiro replied.
The female avatar nodded but was still not trusting fully, especially since most of the players want to try to kill an NPC for a test.
But then she remember how she talked about the NPC's.
'Ahhh! So embarrassing! I always get enthusiastic while talking about them!' In the real-life, she blushed heavily out of embarrassment.
Ichiro not knowing anything about her embarrassment decided to ask. ''Why are you playing this game?''
The female avatar trembled for a moment, she kept thinking that should she answer or not.
''It's fine if you don't want to talk about it,'' Ichiro said immediately after seeing her conflicted look.
It seems that he hit her sore spot.
'Why did I even ask, she is completely random and I must look like a creep right now.' Ichiro started hitting his head in real life to get rid of his stupidity.
''It's fine...'' Ichiro stopped hitting his head after hearing the female avatar's words.
She continued a few moments later. ''I started playing because I hoped that I would become wealthy in the game and transfer the money to real-life... I have a mother who is sick, she might never wake up and the operation which would make her healthy again... Is very expensive.'' Her tone was filled with sadness.
Ichiro looked shocked, he asked. ''How much do you need?''
The female avatar sighed. ''At least 10.000.000 Golden coins... I only have 1323 Golden coins... It's hopeless...''
She remembers the words her uncle said...
That to earn the money quickly was to do some escort jobs...
She would need to sell her body and she might earn the money in half a year...
But she got rid of all connections with her uncle and said that she will never do it.
...She had hopes that she would earn great wealth in the game, but her hopes have been crushed day after day...
She misses her mother...
'Should I do it...?' She thought with trembling hands.
Ichiro was thinking. '10.000.000 Golden Coins? That's not much is it?'
He looked at the screen and saw his total Golden Coin count.
[Golden Coins: 32.467.342.025]
He has 32 billion Golden Coins.
'Wait you can transfer all this into real-life money?! Why didn't previous Ichiro do it?' Ichiro thought with a shock, he went through his memories.
''Ah,'' Ichiro exclaimed, he facepalmed in his real life.
Previous Ichiro was genius in games, but he also lacked common sense.
Previous Ichiro never knew that you can transfer the coins to real money, he thought it was mostly to buy things from the shop.
And he never bothered to check it out, he only killed monsters while never interacting with other players.
He looked at the female avatar.
'Well, I have a lot of coins...' He took a bag of 100.000.000 Golden Coins.
''Here.'' Ichiro dropped the bag next to her.
The female avatar was brought of her thoughts, she looked at the ordinary-looking bag next to her and grabbed it.
She received an announcement.
[Player KingOfGames Transferred 100.000.000 Golden Coins - Player NightButterfly Received 100.000.000 Golden Coins!]
''WHA!'' NightButterfly exclaimed, she turned her avatar's face in shock towards Ichiro.
''I CAN'T TAKE THIS!'' She tried to give the bag with clumsy hands back.
Ichiro shook his head. ''Don't need it, I have 32.367.342.025 Golden Coins left.''
NightButterfly's mouth went wide open, until her eyes started moistening in real life while tears started dropping out of her eyes.
''T-Thank you! I will never forget this!'' She said with a sobbing tone.
''No need for thanks.'' Ichiro shook his head.
''H-Here!'' NightButterfly said while still having same sobbing tone.
Ichiro looked and saw that she sent a friend request.
[NightButterfly - Level 129]
[Accept/Reject]
Ichiro clicked Accept.
NightButterfly instantly started transferring the money to her real life account.
She has been dreaming of curing her mother for months, and now that she has money for it, she is very anxious and nervous.
After she was done, with teary voice she said. ''I-I am sorry but I have to go... But I will never forget this!''
Ichiro smiled slightly and nodded.
NightButterfly's avatar disappeared into pixels.
She was so shocked that she completely forgot to check the player's name who gave the money... But the next time she comes online... She is in for a surprise.
Ichiro tried to find, where you can transfer the money into real life money.
He knows that he has own bank account.
After searching some time later, he finally found it.
[Amount: ]
Ichiro thought and decided to put 1 billion Golden Coins first.
[1.000.000.000 Golden Coins Exchanged for 100.000.000$]
''WHATTTTTT!'' Ichiro exclaimed loudly.
''I-I AM RIIICH!'' He cried out.
