Chapter 78: I will be the one to kill him first

Michu woke up in his VR Capsule.

He got forcefully kicked out of another world and appeared in his world where his family had been waiting for him. It was a proper system for the player's safety, but many would've immediately lunged back to the game to check their characters.

The monke's goal was to check on his family first, "Um, I drank for the first time..."

After seeing his mom's narrowed eyes, Michu caressed his chin like a monke and waited for her anger. However, a sigh escaped her lips and that was it. Was it because of Yumi by her side?

Of course, her son was already nineteen years old so it was both!

"How do you feel? I don't know about drinking in-game..." Mom asked.

"Um... I feel good," Michu replied, then left the capsule.

He found out that the atmosphere in the house was a little different than usual.

It seemed like something happened while he was drunk, but what could've possibly happened to make them?

"Is the chosen game unfavorable for us?" Michu asked as he couldn't think of anything else.

"It is Survival Game, so it's good for us... However, Zerze is no longer your friend," Venomous sighed as well.

She had talked with Nana about Zerze while Michu was asleep.

Knowing her brother well, Nana told Yumi that Michu probably approached him because Zerze was alone.

Her brother arguably associated Zerze's loneliness with his own.

This made Yumi's heart bitter.

It wasn't like she also couldn't think of it, but hearing it from the little sister heightened her worry. If by any chance Michu hadn't met Zerze, then their Regional Tournament experience would be pretty much exciting.

They would fight together against the popular figure and snatch away his ability...

"That's... sad..." Michu didn't know how to feel.

His girlfriend got threatened by Zerze, but he couldn't bring himself to hate him. It was just a few hours, but they had a nice talk after all. Moreover, it was a game so it didn't have that much meaning.

But it was a wrong thought.

Fortunately, Michu realized it quickly. Both Yumi and Zerze had fought hard for the Impossible Quest's rewards. Their time spent here wasn't long compared to the rest, but the same couldn't be said about hardships.

To get such a powerful reward, they must've toiled!

"It's okay... I won't let him snatch your reward, Yumi..." Michu glanced at Venomous, "If he tries to kill you, I will be the one to kill him first."

"We will both take him down," Yumi smiled, but Michu's expression didn't match the words he just said.

[Earth, Eastern Region.]

[Hospital.]

It was night already.

In the room where the moon barely could sneak itself into, a man with blue eyes sat down before the bed where a lady with similar features to him silently slept. Due to the hospital's tools, her breath was loud and clearly heard by him.

Zerze hovered eyes on his sister, grief, and regret swirling within those.

His sister was the only family left he had.

They were both born in a wealthy family, but after their father passed away, Zerze and his sister were left alone with their mother who just couldn't operate a business at all. Her husband's business partners snatched all money and assets, leaving their family without a penny.

In poverty, Zerze felt actually better.

However, the same couldn't be said about his mother. A few years later, she clung to some wealthy man's thigh and the family returned to abundant life. This didn't last long, however, for his mother was just a beautiful vase and nothing else.

He and his sister supported each other while their mother continued to be a cheap woman trying to return to that wealthy life through someone else. She never worked hard on her own and often disappointed her children.

But a few months ago, Zerze got into a fight.

He fought against some cheap people, but knowing that he could only afford to drink in such cheap bars, Zerze was ready for any battle. It was not the first and not the last fight, but that day was different.

His sister was passing by and when she noticed her brother smashing the faces of four random people, she stepped in to pull him away from such horrific activity!

This gave room for bastards to regroup and four of them ended up using Zerze's sister as a shield against him.

In an unfortunate succession of events, Zerze's sister received the blow that put her in a coma.

"Zerze," A man in a black suit suddenly spoke out, "If you win the Regional Tournament, Hyunge Company will use the newest medical technology to cure your sister and awaken her from the coma." It was possible as humanity took a big step in medicine!

"I will win," Zerze stood up and turned heels.

"Of course, you will win," The man smiled, "This is a world no different from ours. If you give a gun to a brat, he would tremble and not even think of putting his finger on a trigger. Now, change guns into a unique class... There are so many worthless players holding treasures..." Zerze was a gun that would steal all those treasures.

One of many guns, to be precise.

"Zerze... I hope you won't do anything stupid," The man reminded.

After all, Zerze could sell his Ice Spear and pass abilities he had received from The Impossible Quest. This money would be enough to cure his sister and give them a normal life.

Both of them were used to living at the bottom, so this was indeed one of the possibilities that Zerze thought about.

However, would the Hyunge Company let them go? The wealthy had a lot of money and there was a lot of disgusting scum in the world that for a little money would bring chaos to someone's life.

Even escaping somewhere else wouldn't be possible, at least for now.

"I know," Zerze replied, then left the room.

The man looked at him with a faint smile, then as he turned his eyes to the sleeping beauty, his smile widened, "Sleep well, princess."

"This is the beginning of The Regional Tournament in The Eastern Block! HELLO! ARE YOU HYPED?!" The commentator announced the beginning of the Regional Tournament! He was one of the popular male commentators!

His nickname was Izzaku!

People behind the screens exclaimed loudly, the keyboard warriors smashed their fingers on it as well, "We are hyped!"

[We are hyped!]

[We are hyped!]

[We are hyped!]

The Regional Tournament never had a lot of viewers, but a lot of popular figures had emerged out of this region. That was why the guild behind this season's tournament had reached out for one of the popular commentators!

"Let's fucking go!" He was pretty hyped as well.

"Please, don't curse, Mr. Izzaku." The melodious voice suddenly rang out! For a second, the chat stopped, so the expressions of many viewers must have been frozen too!

This was also a known voice!

"Lil Karolin! I can curse because I have a fanbase! Guys, can I curse?!" Izzaku asked the chat, but they were all spamming 'Lil Karolin' with hearts and so on, thus, he inferred, "I see no objections here." He clenched his hand and explained the rules!
