Chapter 244 - The Head Hunter

The guild war was naturally been captured in video and after the war ended, a few seconds later, the whole battle was posted on the internet. The people who didn't witness the original battle thought it would be an easy end for Bladeheart but little did they know how brutal things could get.

...

IAMURDAD: this guy who is attacking the skull guild is scary, he is destroying players left and right.

NadaMoney:  I know right? It was like he is harvesting their lives for getting in his way.

Addict To Waifu: Damn, if I had enough money, I would definitely buy the cabin, playing this game looks so cool!

IsekaiGod: Isn't he like killing players in an unusual manner?

NadaMoney: You noticed it too @IsekaiGod?

GachaisLifu: He is killing players by cutting off their heads.. His way of killing them is scary.

IAMURDAD: He is now the "Head Hunter." He is not your average player, with that mask of his and his brutal way to kill, he is going to be a topic on the internet for sure.

IsekaiGod: NGL, I like the sound of that.

...

Bladeheart who won the war became known by the community as the player who hunts and harvests heads or the "Head Hunter." Not only that but it seems more players are now ready to join the game after seeing the epic that occurred earlier.

...

Since the war ended, I snap my hands and revived Amyrose. Her body and the head glowed and slowly reattached back to the headless body. Amyrose who was unconscious slowly opened her eyes and she realized her body is back to normal.

"You revived me?"

"Yep. War is over."

Odaka rushed towards his sister.

"Sis! Are you alright?"

"Brother? Ah yes, I am fine...I just felt my head fly off from my body..."

"Technically yes, but actually no. You might experience it similar to a decapitation but it just simulates the pain that you can feel if your head gets cut off. And no, you won't die in the real world by that but you can experience it."

"Damn bastard. You just allowed me to experience decapitation huh..."

"So, are you gonna uphold your promise? I am not going to break mine so you should also uphold what you also did."

"Tch, although I didn't want it, I have no choice."

"Well, you already choose it, so you won't be able to say no again. Here, to make sure I can compensate for the damage I did and as a gift for accepting my proposal, here are the starting gifts. Use it for the guild of yours."

I swipe open my gold and send a few gold amounts to her. Amyrose saw the pop-up and she accepted it. However, she didn't expect to see the amount.

"HUH? 5 MILLION GOLD?!"

She looked up and realized that the player who gave her the amount of gold is gone.

"Brother, where is that guy?"

"He already disappeared. He summoned a flying creature and fly away from here."

...

Amyrose is one of my plans after seeing her skills. At first, I was about to just utterly destroy her guild due to her indifferent attitude and she also wanted me dead. However, due to her skill as a berserker, I can say that she is one of the few berserker players in the game capable of changing the tide of the game and some attacks that are definitely gonna kill many bosses in the future. I can say that she might be a potential DPS player. She is one of the players I might be able to get some help with now that I got her cooperation.

I returned to my mansion after the war. I am tired after killing different players and it's taxing. I also guess that it is already morning back in the real world so that only means I have to log out now and see how my parents are doing after playing the game.

...

Opening my eyes, despite not moving in the real world, I felt my whole body a bit numb from the sensation. It seems my body is just having a bit of relapse from the excessive movements I did earlier.

Stretching my body for a bit, I grab the Holophone on the table and looked at the time.

4:46 AM.

Damn, so it's already morning? I didn't realize that I have been playing for a bit already and I didn't sleep just yet. I went out of my room and checked my parents' room to see if they are already sleeping but I didn't expect to see that they are still inside the cabin and are still playing. Checking at the cabin's operation, I didn't expect to see that they are playing since earlier and they haven't got out after.

So they are already doing an all-nighter in the game huh? Although I still don't know how their progress goes, I hope they didn't choose anything bad.

Next, I went to the workout room where the teddy bear ghost is staying. For the first time, I saw the lights of the workout room turned off. The only light that is in the room is the cabin that is producing a "vrhhhhh" sound.

"Oh? So even the ghosts can play the game? That is indeed awesome. Who would have thought it would be a good idea to make a ghost play an online VR game."

I went back to my room after inspecting things. Although I want to wake up early, I felt tired from playing so I decided to go sleep even though it is already morning. There is no rush for me to go back to Tokyo anyways with my teleport point already finished.

...

The next day, I opened my eyes and realized that I only slept for 2 hours. It's almost 7 AM already. Damn, although I didn't sleep much it's a bit better sleep than no sleep at all and I think I am already energized. I can sleep again if I needed it but now? I am wide awake.

Without anything to do, I check my phone and realized that I got so many missed calls from both Riko and Janus. I didn't pick any of them since the time I received them is also the time when I was asleep so I guess I didn't know.

RING!

And there it is. The call is from Janus this time around. I answered it and the one who welcomed my poor ears is Janus's loud voice.

"YOOOOOOOOOOOOO! What the hell did you just do while I was away from work?" Janus's voice is very excited I kind of frown on why he is so excited and giddy all of a sudden. I can only see him like this whenever his favorite AV actress produces another video.

"Bruh, why are you so loud so early in the morning and what are you even talking about?"

"You didn't know?"

"The what? Can you please elaborate?"

"You didn't check it?"

"COME ON, Janus. Get straight to the point, I just woke up, how should I know?"

"Quick, open the internet and go to the sharing video platform!"

Still confused, I followed his instructions.

"Then?"

"Go search the guild war that you just did last night!"

Following his instructions, the moment I click the Enter button, the number of videos of my exploits appeared and I didn't expect most of them are over a million views already.

"You see it? Your battle against the Skull Guild is so phenomenal! You are famous now!"

"Huh? Is this even worth getting excited into? I mean I know that I won but it isn't much. Why would I get excited about it?"

"Oh come on man, you are famous now on the internet as the "Head Hunter." They already labeled you as the player who hunts and harvests heads."

"Head Hunter?"

Then I just realized what they mean by "Harvest". The way I cut off a players head is by either grabbing their hair or the helmets they wear before proceeding with cutting them off which made me look like I am "harvesting." Sometimes, just swinging and cutting off heads is similar to how farmers harvest some crops that needed a sickle to harvest. I didn't expect to get a nickname from the community.

In the past timeline, I received the title, the Bladesman of the Flame since I keep using the flame sword in many battles. I also thought they would call me wolf head or wolfman since I wear a wolf mask but it seems like I was wrong. Who would have thought that they would dub me with a new nickname?

"Head Hunter. I like the sound of that."

"Also, Manato. It seems you are now the target by many players in the game right now that they wanted to face off against in the arena."

"Did the Arena already show off the participants?"

"Yeah, they already did. And due to the latest incident that I heard from Dolly that occurred in the arena, it seems they are now using you to promote the Arena's opening."

While Janus is talking, I opened the video and saw the post of me killing Odaka brutally in the arena and looking menacing. No wonder Amyrose is so angry at me, I looked like I humiliated Odaka in this video.
