Chapter 296 - More plans

“I can’t believe it…” Tom whispered before taking a seat. After falling heavily onto a chair with his ass, he understood it was a reality.

He wasn’t dreaming.

The resident of Avander World, one of his homie’s wives, was in modern clothes that oddly looked too good on her before his eyes. Her voice, demeanor, and how she held onto Alex were similar to the lady he had met during the antagonist’s event.

She was undoubtedly the same person!

“You two will take some time to process it… But I have never been so happy as when I learned that the Avander World is real… People I genuinely cared for and loved had survived with me, and we were together…

It was so easy for me to accept this reality… I know it might be too hard for you. Still, I hope you will accept it and focus on the game world wholeheartedly,” Alex said, clenching Sara’s hands for the antagonist event’s end changed everything in his life.

Tomo Homie and Lily nodded, not saying anything, for they were still shocked about Sara’s appearance.

After sucking on the straw to enjoy some cold drink, Tomo Homie lifted his eyes, gazing into Sara’s blue hues, “I believe you wanted to talk with me, right?

It’s because of the game….”

And as Tomo Homie thought about the game, he started theorizing about the game’s purpose and the reason for the Avander World being real. He went through the same process as Alex before.

Sara smiled, continuing after Tom’s expression turned better, “The hungry demons have already sown chaos in our continent. Their schemes have stretched toward the demi-human kingdoms while their forces have begun gathering in the conquered three kingdoms.

Another war is brewing, and we must unite more people than before to repel and kick them away from our continent,” Sara said seriously.

She wouldn’t give up on a continent without fighting. And Sara would do all to convince and unite players. It was impossible to tell all players that the game world was real, so they had to take normal means.

But as Tomo Homie was well aware of the situation, he replied weakly, “The hungry demons kept killing people… A real people… They work with villains to seize dungeons, attacking other kingdoms at various points…”

After the antagonist event, Tomo Homie used the Berden Kingdom’s royal family for his guild’s gain. He became closer with the other kingdom, explained the antagonist’s schemes, and built defenses against their vile plans.

Many forces clashed with hungry demons and villains just to keep the dungeon and other valuable lands in their control.

Alex gazed at his friend with concern. It was clear that Tomo Homie was overwhelmed by the fact that his command had wounded and killed real people. Perhaps, Lily was the same with her assassination skills.

She must have hunted many NPCs and players.

But as he was quite selfish, Alex found it easier to swallow the truth. He loved the fact that his wives were real, and he didn’t care about other people. Of course, he wanted to world to be in a good state.

He would rather live in a happy and well-developed country than in a grim world with regular wars.

“If Sara and others could come here, what stops hungry demons from coming to our world, too? Isn’t the best way to kill a player… here?” Alex asked a question, surprising Sara and shocking his two friends.

Tom licked his lips, trembling as he gazed at the cup with his drink, “It’s true… But if they come here, they will also not wield any power, will they?”

“I know a high-level resident who can momentarily use his power here,” Alex added, his words leaving Tom and his girlfriend pale.

Sara nodded, adding words straight from her heart, “My husband is right. There’s a chance that the hungry demons will find a way into our world. If that happens, no one will be safe.

We must fight them regularly in the Avander World. We must force them to focus only on battles with us.

They want to level up too.” Sara explained.

Although she knew that Harvey and other guardians overlooked Earth, her father-in-law himself said that nothing was absolute. Should hungry demons find a way to invade Earth, they would kill players silently under the guardians’ noses.

It was important to keep pressuring them in the Avander World. And in the future, some players might awaken their player powers on Earth, too.

Sara noticed a change in Tomo Homie’s expression, pressing further, “We can’t change players’ mindset yet. They still level up, play the game, and adapt to the new world’s circumstances.

Even with events like The Antagonist Event or the hungry demons and villains taking over the dungeon, players play as if that doesn’t matter to them.

We need to entice them and force them to hunt all hungry demons and villains should they notice them. Also, we should convert as many villains as possible to heroes.

As you hold the command and everyone looks up to you, you can change the players’ mindset a little, guiding them toward a proper path,” Sara uttered, praying that those words would change Tom’s mindset.

And as he looked at his girlfriend, noticing her immense support, Tomo Homie nodded gravely, gazing at Sara and Alex with a new resolution, “It’s not just the hungry demons who can create events.

As we have become closer to royalties, we can create our events too. But for that, we need rewards… Valuable rewards,” Tomo Homie stressed the last two sentences, not blinking as he looked at Alex and Sara’s expressions.

“I will see what we can take out from our treasury,” Alex said as the owner of the Deathwill Castle. He recalled Erin and their recent blood research, realizing that he must quickly develop this research further with bugs from the forest fairies’ lands.

He needed more blood from hungry demons to get rewards!

And then, Alex smiled, “The alliance with other kingdoms must also be strengthened, right? You can tell them that you have a way to help them level up.

Only female residents for now, though,” Alex added a little awkwardly. And as Tomo and his girlfriend looked at him suspiciously, Sara grinned, making her husband even more embarrassed.

Tom coughed, thinking about players that stood out. Those were naturally dungeon conquerors and other players with unique classes, like Liam Wall, “In the Antagonist Event, an unknown player stood out.

People call her The Lightning Goddess. After the event ended, she came out with a lightning spear, killing hungry demons in abundance. She had an element of a surprise as no one expected a ‘hero’ in the hungry demons’ ranks.

But even after her surprise, she massacred all villains and antagonists in her area… She couldn’t go further because demons with higher-level came down.

We should focus on those players, too,” Tomo Homie said, then added with a sigh, “But what can we offer for such players to get them to work with us?”

Sara’s eyes gleamed as she got an idea, “We must find a clue to the hungry demon’s realm… With just a clue alone, we should be able to gather many heroes, even that Lightning Goddess.”
