Chapter 130 Surfing the Internet

The trio exited Arya’s floor after it was all neat and tidy. Ralph and Dennis did a good job of cleaning it up and, due to Lith’s supervision, they didn’t slack.

Lith was now sitting on the sofa in the living room of his floor. Having nothing to do at the moment, he was surfing the internet like usual.

He began by checking the news. His mother had informed him that his sister was occupied with matters related to the vampire hierarchy. As it was done in a hurry previously, there were certain flaws in it, so Lucy was busy fixing it. Once it was changed, it would be announced to the whole world again.

Lith checked the news daily and, like before, he didn’t find anything today either. ‘It seems that it would take a while.’ Lith thought to himself and continued on with surfing the internet.

He closed the news app on his phone and opened a social media app. Browsing through it, he smiled and thought, ‘Memes sure found their way here too, haha.’

Such a thought occurred to him when he saw a post that had a gif of a green goblin crying, with his tears filling the glass he was holding and him drinking those tears. It was on a loop with the above and below area of gif having two statements. They read:

‘I just want the happy

Not the birthday’

“I wonder how the meme culture has come so far here. To understand this meme, one would need to understand a series of memes. Welp, seems like being sad is a problem here as well.” Lith said and chuckled.

He not just saw the posts, he saw the comments of other people too, while scrolling through many posts and kept wasting his time. After half an hour, he closed the app and opened a global video streaming platform. As he opened it, he saw many videos and some of the titles that caught his attention were:

“How to be a Supreme rank explained.”

– Kazl81

“I sneaked into the local king’s castle. *NOT CLICKBAIT*”

– Kylehax23

“I pranked my succubus wife by sleeping with a man. Prank gone wrong!”

– My wife is my life

“An orc saw a helpless and injured beast in the forest. The next thing he did will shock you all!”

– Instant Interesting Information

“Raise your magic rank in just 1 month! Limited time video, take advantage now!”

– Instructor Zeld

“Reacting to Zvis’s ongoing controversy, my honest opinions.”

– Professional Controversy Reactor

Lith sighed while looking at those titles. He then went to the app’s settings and logged into his account. He was using a guest account and thus saw such videos accidentally.

Logging into his account, he started watching a video named cute beasts doing cute things compilation. This was one of the fun things he liked to watch to relax and pass time.

He saw a big tiger-like beast playing with a small bird-like beast. The bird was chasing the tiger who was doing everything it could to not get caught. After a while, they stopped and the tiger slumped to the ground. The bird then landed on the body of the tiger and slumped on it. They slept like that and the clip ended.

The next clip in the compilation was a fluffy beast jumping down from a small height and trying to fly. It kept failing to fly, followed by continuously falling down, but that was where the cuteness of it lied. It seemed very cute when falling down and trying hard to fly again.

“This sho cuteeeeee, oh my poor heart

(?≧?≦)? ? ┻━┻”

– Distanced Wolfie

– Iki801

“Mannnnnnn this is so damnnnn cuteeee ahhhhhh my heart!!!!!”

– SovereignKeizer

“@SovereignKeizer are you the real one?”

– KenoKo

“Dudeeeeee is this @SovereignKeizer the one who rules the Cangton Country in the Demon Continent!?”

– Loik23

“@KenoKo @Loik23 yeah I am the real one. You can check the profile. It’s verified too. Can us rulers not watch such things? Even we have a heart and a place for cute things like these in it. Don’t be so shocked and exaggerate things.”

– SovereignKeizer

“IT’S THE REAL DEAL!! OH MY GOD!”

– KenoKo

“@SovereignKeizer Indeed. We should stop overreacting and all come together to appreciate such cute things.”

– Loik23

“@SovereignKizer Your majesty, I didn’t know you liked such things too like us common folks! Hahaha, I am so telling this to everyone! Let us all toast one tonight in the country of Cangton in appreciation of cute things!”

– Not Cangton Resident

‘Well, I didn’t know even rulers watched such things. No, that would be wrong. I didn’t know that high-ranking people would also spend their time doing such things. What an interesting world.’ Lith thought to himself as he read these comments on the cute beasts doing cute things compilation video.

People had long lives and doing monotonous things every day was boring. Such entertainment was greatly sought out by everyone, mortals and immortals alike. Some took the time to comment and let others know that they were watching too, like SovereignKeizer while some just anonymously watched it.

Lith was young right now and he didn’t know how boring it gets when someone has a never ending lifespan. He was a mortal in his previous life and thus, his perspective was still like a mortal instead of an immortal.

People from all over the world were connected with each other via the internet. There were people of all sorts of races and cultures ranging from the innocent angels to the scheming demons and thus, all the global platforms had quite a lively atmosphere.

In Lith’s opinion, this world’s online platform was much bigger, much better and much crazier compared to the one from his previous life.

He always compared every single thing with his previous one and it was done so unconsciously that it couldn’t be helped. Everyone does such things unknowingly. One can’t know the value of another thing without having something to compare it with.

Thus, as days passed, Lith was starting to like this world more and more and was also getting adapted to this environment. He was finally starting to feel that he belonged here.

He kept thinking about these things, leading to his thoughts going astray for some moments. He thought after a while, ‘If this is a dream and nothing is real, I don’t ever want to wake up from it.’

His happy thoughts were starting to take a darker turn and before he could think of even darker things, his thoughts were interrupted when he heard a melodious voice asking,

“Did you bring me here?”
