Chapter 66: In the Name of Honor (1)

Click. Click. Click.

A pitch-dark marble hallway. A man in a neat white suit was walking through the hallway with just a tiny lamp in his hand.

Click. Click.

Clank

The man stopped in a large room filled with burnt-out candles and added a new candle to the collection, lighting it. After doing so, he bowed towards the girl sleeping inside the border of candles.

I have returned. Collector.

The girl, who wore something bordering on a dress and a hospital gown, slowly opened her eyes at his call. Her long eyelashes shuddered, as if rejecting the light surrounding her.

W. Youre late.

To my shame, yes.

You, who can reach any part of this dry, sandy world in an instant, only have difficulty returning. Its very strange, dont you think?Reêad latest novels at novelhall.com

W only bowed his head lower at the girls gentle criticism.

When the girl stretched and let out a cute yawn, the countless numbers of wires connected to her back clattered around and made noise. In the eyes of W, who had served her for a long time, she seemed much more lively than usual.

Are you happy?

Yes. Ive had a lot of special dreams this time.

Rustle

When she raised her hand, the empty space in front of her started to fill up with large screens.

A small shelter in the Wasteland.

The three men inside the shelter were cheering out loud in joy over their new source of wealth.

Area 43.

A sign on the floor, covered with bullet marks, read Woojin Urology, and an army of people wearing black military uniforms were surrounding the place. And a man with nearly half his face covered in burns stood in front of them, smiling contentedly.

The Dome.

An investigator with a crooked hat looked between the contents of the document with the words Level 2 Classified written on it. And the sketch of the man with a metal jaw on his face with a serious expression.

Area 32.

An old woman with frigidly blue eyes was making a passionate speech in front of countless believers with thin clothes covering their eyes.

Area 7.

Rumble. Rumble.

Beyond the dense fog, where bright lights flickered intermittently, the footsteps of a massive creature shook the earth.

And in a marble building without a single light to brighten it up are a man in a suit and a girl conversing in an area lit only by candlelight and machinery.

W, who took in every single screen into his eye, slowly opened his mouth to break this silence that was as heavy as their reality.

The winds are blowing.

Yes. Again. Without tiring out.

As if agreeing with their statement, a breeze entered the marble hallway and passed through where they stood.

The delicate candlelight blew out because of the strong wind, and in the hallway, without the man in a white suit and the girl in sight, the only thing left were the flickering lights of the machinery.

+Player professor has entered the chatroom.

-Jokasss: Well, well, well, look who it is? Its our all-mighty professor!

-Numb3rtree: Ive heard you started a business! Congratulations! If you ever have a chance to go by the clock tower intersection in the southern part of Area 47, please come visit this Numb3rtree right here!

-Noru_is_druig: Is this the boss of BDSM I see here? LMAOOOOO. The first ever group to use a perverted name like that as their title.

-takealook: The manliest of mans. I have decided to respect you starting that day professor.

A row of messages greeted him the moment he entered the chatroom of Area 47. Everyone congratulated him with open arms, but the annoying name continued to pop up in the messages.

-professor: It isnt BDSM everyone. Who would be crazy enough to use a name like that. Ive officially entered it in as Big Dream, so thats that.

He flinched a bit even as he sent the message. It was obvious how they would react. The traitor of democracy, how communism has taken over, and all kinds of backlash for what he did.

-cooligan: ?

-Holli: Huh?

-Speedwagon: ?

-Jokasss: ?

-Noru_is_druig: Wat dis guy sayin.

But their reactions were a bit weird. What? This isnt what I was expecting.

-professor: What? Whats the problem this time?

-Jokasss: Hey, prof. Isnt BDSM the group that you made?

-professor: Whats that supposed to mean? Of course I made it. And its Big Dream, not BDSM.

-takealook: Is this guy okay? Your name officially got posted on Dtimes on the Community this morning. It said BDSM.

-professor: Dont go talking bullsh*t now. Theres no way that happened. Oi! I went through the entire process. I called the Dome people, and I met with the investigator. I did

. . .

Wait. An incredibly unpleasant speculation just popped up in my mind.

. . .

Every single time a word left Rakshashas soft lips as she gently swept her hand over his tanned arms, each and every word became a deadly dagger and pierced his heart. She was definitely a skilled assassin. Each attack she sent his way was a lethal one.

Last night? Tired? What did I do? What exactly happened? A new responsibility? What did I-I do to that beautiful woman?! What what did I dooooooo!!!!

Thumpthumpthumpthumpthumppop!

Beeeeeeeeeep

Game over. Keeping calmimpossible.

H-Hyde! Switch with me! I-I cant handle this anymore!

[O-Ohhhhh! L-Leave it to me, vessel! An independent conscious like me has a completely different level of mental stability compared to a human weakling]

Snap

The moment he took over all of the senses of his body, the pace in his mind started to come back.

Hahh, hahh, I-Im alive. I survived(?) thanks to that guy.

He doesnt know what he would have done if he had been there any longer. He was still a youthful man with a healthy body. Of course, it seemed like their emotions were mutual, but it was still a little, you know. Shes a game character, after all, and Rakshasha might even be an NPC created off a persons data, so its a littleiffy. And more than anything

-takealook: Dont run away! Fight back like a man!

-Holli: Kyaaak! This is too much! W-What are you showing to a growing teenager like me?

-Speedwagon: Fact you just need to turn it off if you dont want to see it.

-Noru_is_druig: Uhyyo~! Super luc ky! I woke up and theres an exotic beauty lying next to me? Oi, oi, oi, omae, you were a popular guy after all~

-Highwaynachoman: Prof, y-you said you needed money, right? I-Im actually rich. How much? Tell me how much you need?!!

-Soygaybar: W

-Udnam_undam: Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!

Look at that crazy chatroom. I wouldnt be in my right mind to start a strip show in front of those guys.

In this place where time flowed much slower, Professor decided to calmly assess the situation while Hyde held her off outside.

I definitely lost consciousness, and Rakshasha brought me here. These are solid facts. From the outskirts of Tobrune to here. It means that the story was on autopilot for that period of time. It might have even been extended a little more if I had woken up in the middle.

But I was knocked out because of both mental and physical exhaustion. Its highly unlikely that I actually woke up, so even if Rakshasha tried to do something, the character wouldnt have woken up. So even though she woke up almost half naked next to me, nothing should have

Whooosh

Just then, a white light started to seep into the dark space of consciousness.

W-What? Already? It hasnt even been 10 seconds, though.

[Aghhhhhhhhh-!]

With Hydes loud scream, Professors consciousness was kicked back outside.

Oh, youre back.

The first thing he saw when he came back was Rakshasha, who was holding his face with her two hands and leaning right up to his face.

What a rare trait Two souls in one body. Ahh.. I want it so much.

I-Im back? What..

Dont act dumb with me. Hyde. That cute soul just ran back into your body.

How did you?

Hmm. You can call it a womans intuition.

With a blinding smile on her face, Rakshasha swept her hand over Professors face with sparkling eyes.

Your eyes are different. Hydes eyes are like a fierce comet, but yours. Yours are like..

After Rakshasha pushed his dark hair to the side and stared into his eyes for a while, she turned away and flashed another smile at him.

Hmm, I dont want to tell you.

H-Haaaahhhhhhhh

As Professor let out a deep sigh of relief as she got off the bed, she walked around gracefully and silently giggled to herself.

Ahh. I really want to play with you all day, but even though it hasnt even been a full day since the mage tower collapsed, both of us already have something to do.

S-Something to do, miss?

Pppttt!

Rakshasha blocked Professors mouth with her index finger as she took out a slightly wet piece of paper from her pouch.

Those formalities again! When are you going to stop calling me that? Try it right now. Say my name. Say Rakshasha~, hurry! Rakshasha~

Desperately trying to ignore Rakshashas seduction, Professor took the paper that she gave him.

This is. a wanted poster?

Yes. Its a wanted poster for the human escapee Professor. But can you check on the bottom whos paying for the bounty?

Professors eyes shifted down to the bottom of the paper. It was vaguely smeared from the water, but he could still make out the words.

The Tobrune Lord, Rodrick Kingdom, andthey all look norm ah?!!

Scrunch!

When he saw the last name on the list of the groups that were added to the bounty, Professor unconsciously crumpled the paper inside his hands.

The Lights Order?!

His mind jumped back into reality. He rubbed his eyes just in case he was hallucinating, but it was definitely the religion of the Rodrick Kingdom that worshipped Ro-Haram, the God of Light, Lights Order.

Why are these guys.. looking for escapee Professor?

Rakshasha could only shrug at Professors question.
