Chapter 119: First twenty-four hour ban
"I've died," Alex left the capsule with bitter feelings.
He didn't expect his first death to be after such a battle. Most players died on the first days, either to weak monsters or too powerful bosses.
His death was way cooler, and Alex could take pride in it. He died for his beloved people.
It was night, so Alex planned to go straight to bed.
He took a bath and exactly did that.
However, for some reason, Alex couldn't fall asleep. He stared at the ceiling as if there was a poster of the sexy lady compelling him to not blink his eyes.
In reality, Alex thought of the battle against Nektor and Natalia's reasons. He hadn't asked them enough questions, but that was simply inappropriate in his current situation.
It was already promising that he could learn more about the soul grave-keeper and dullahans.
'Sara's mother is a gentle person… She has cold beauty but displays warmth to her family and loved ones… There's a difference between princesses and princes then…' Alex inferred after closing his eyes.
He believed that the princesses influenced each other, giving hope for Alex that every princess was a good person.
Princes probably worked for their rights to the throne… That was how most royal relationships revolved around, even on Earth a few hundred years ago.
But being a nice person was not enough in the Avander World… Alex believed what he and others had displayed during that battle convinced the third princess to go with her plan.
If everyone was weak without a talent, then Celia and Sara's lives wouldn't be safe. If they died or got captured, the dullahan blood and Celia's unique ability would fall into the enemy's hands!
Alex opened his eyes as he recalled Celia's powers.
He hadn't given it a thought yet because he believed he would talk about it with her and Sara.
And that was when the blush crept onto Alex's cheeks, "As father and daughter…"
That would also mean that Alex would get a wife for real.
He couldn't stop his heart from drumming loudly in his heart…
'I can't sleep,' Alex blamed his brain for overthinking!
The following day, Alex read Olivia's messages.
She told him that everyone had successfully escaped and no wolf barred their way. They were back in their rooms, sleeping soundly.
Olivia also told him that the dropped item had been delivered to them.
"It's your first death… As much as I want to be with you during your boredom, I want to go to the game and check everyone," Olivia replied with a broad smile, "You had your fun with Remia when I died.
I will take a bath with her soon!" Olivia teased, "Imagine those big tits floating in the water, my handsome! I will fondle her!"
Alex rolled his eyes, "I am not that close with Remia."
Olivia laughed, "So I can fondle her chest without any problem. I think she will be too tired to stop me. Haha!"
She was in a good mood. But Alex was the same.
After all, everyone had survived, and no one died.
Alex asked, "I heard girls like to compare their breasts. Have you ever done that?"
Olivia replied, "We did that on a school trip last year."
He didn't dare to ask for results since Olivia didn't mention anything…
Olivia then sent a kiss, "I will be going to the game then! Once you log in, there's something I want to talk about with you, though.
Everyone will be listening," Olivia said seriously, piquing Alex's curiosity.
He asked, "About what?"
"About you, of course," Olivia hissed, "I will cuddle with you during the talk, so don't worry! I still haven't received enough cuddles." She pouted and said her goodbyes.
Alex rolled his eyes and put down the phone.
After his breakfast, he left the house for a walk. It was the weekend, so he didn't have anything to do at school.
Alex went to the park, where he saw a lot of families and people his age with their girlfriends.
He somewhat got jealous.
'If Olivia was here and we died together, we would be like that…' Alex sighed.
But then, he bumped into an old man.
Fortunately, the old man didn't fall.
Alex apologized, "I'm sorry. I was lost in thought."
The old man let out a peculiar chuckle, "Haha! I am okay." He patted his long clothes, then looked into Alex's eyes.
He was smiling for no reason, "You look like a player who just died. Is there truly nothing for you to do?"
Alex awkwardly smiled, "It's my first death, so I am kinda lost. The world on the other side… is just too fascinating, and too much stuff happens here. My friends share the same thoughts, so we rarely spend time outside now…
I mostly see them at school, so my current real life is just about studies," Alex softly laughed.
The old man chuckled, "Research then. There are many continents on the other side, are there not? Something big might happen in one of them…. Big enough that you leave that world to watch videos about that event."
Alex titled his head, "That doesn't sound bad. I know about other servers… I mean, continents… Each is different… I also should study my own continent and its royalties… Well, I guess I will return back home and read forums.
Have a nice day, old man. Once again, I'm sorry for bumping into you," Alex left the old man alone with those words.
The old man didn't move. After some time, he turned around, staring at Alex's back with a unique expression.
His eyes shone blue… So blue that it was out of this world. An immense coldness that gripped the souls flashed within those hues, and he didn't even bother concealing that intent.
"Elias… Players are so vulnerable here…" the old man whispered before moving away from the park, "You are so lucky I became fussy. Otherwise, the risk you've taken would eat your family alive.
The player you've chosen is a splendid candidate," he laughed.
The old man disappeared from the park.
No one saw him.
No one heard him.
As if he didn't even exist here.
