The two stayed lost in their own world for a bit longer before they finally managed to separate themselves from one another. Following this, both opted to keep some distance between them on the off chance that Kirou managed to show up and see it or they being unable to separate from each other once again. Seeing that the couple had finally separated from each other, Kirou decided that it was finally time to finish his mission.
Kirou's figure lightly disappeared from the branch he was on and reappeared some hundred meters away before he started making his way towards the duo. Although they were still very quiet, Kirou allowed his footsteps to make just enough noise so that the couple ahead would be able to hear him coming. With confirmation that Kirou was closeby, both Shiva and Andy got into positions as they waited for Kirou to make himself visible.
As soon as Kirou 'arrived', he was greeted by the sight of Shiva and Andy both leaning on a
Kirou locked eyes with the huge badger mole that was staring at him in curiosity. While the thought to arm himself and fight the creature did cross his mind, it just felt wrong for him to attack a creature that showed no hostile intent towards him. That being said, no matter how tame the creature is, he wasn't about to approach the creature without any caution.As Kirou was thinking about what he should do, the giant badger mole took its sweet time in approaching Kirou, all the while sniffing in the air. Seeing this action prompted Kirou to remember that he had something in his inventory that might warrant such an action. As if to prove his point, the moment Kirou removed an item from his inventory, the badger mole stopped its probe-like sniffing and its snout pointed directly towards Kirou's body.Seeing this, a certain expectation formed within Kirou's mind as he slowly approached the badger mole with the item in hand. The badger mole grew
Following the discovery that Kirou made, he didn't immediately try to put any of his thoughts into action. As for the reason behind this, Kirou wanted to verify the feasibility of his plans once again, as well as obtain more information. And for that reason, Kirou led his newly tamed pet towards the underground cavern using the original entrance.The duo had managed to come across many monsters along the way towards the cave entrance but both Kirou and Asura made quick work of these creatures. By the time the duo had arrived at the underground cave, another hour had passed as Kirou once again mined out all the mineral resource points that they came across. During this action, Kirou was greeted to the surprise of seeing Asura excavating mineral ores on its own at those mineral resource points. This further gave Kirou hope of his new long term plan for the future was within his sights.Upon seeing the giant badger mole cub swaggering in with K
It was currently after two in the evening when Shen Jiang returned to the Gaming Department of the studio. After locking himself in one of the private rooms, Shen Jiang could no longer hold back his anger and punched one of the walls, barely leaving a dent in it. Shen Jiang was angry, no, completely furious about what had taken place in the meeting room.Having vented on the wall, Shen Jiang sat down on a suitably comfortable recliner chair and put his gaming headset before logging into the game. For now, he needed to get a start on his new assignment, but he definitely wasn't happy about it.The last thought that he had before he lost consciousness and entered the game was, 'Don't think this is over by a long shot, Yin Jia Rong. As soon as I manage to stabilize this, I will get you back for this. You as well, cousin.'The reason for Shen Jiang's anger could be traced back to the meeting that just ended between the boss
It was currently after five in the evening and Kirou's shift had just ended. After packing up his things, changing his clothes, and saying goodbye to his fellow security guards, Kirou left the security office and made his way to the entrance of the building. As he was walking, Kirou was currently going over the details of the demonstration he had to do later. While he wanted to help both Reya and Navi out, Kirou wasn't too keen on showing off his true ability.With that being said, Kirou was now trying to decide how much of his ability he should show. As he made it down to the first floor, Kirou passed by a few members of the gaming studio moving about and bid them farewell for the evening. While most had returned his greetings or simply waved back, there were a few that completely ignored him. Kirou only shrugged at this before making his way out of the building.Now that Kirou was on the street, he started to make his way to the subway sta
The group of a dozen players all stared at Kirou after he removed his hood and introduced himself to them. They took note of his human-like features and his darker skin tone and just dismissed Kirou as another human player with nothing strange about him. As for the tribal tattoos signifying that Kirou was a halfling with Lycan blood in him, the current armor that Kirou wore hid most of it, and the parts that the group saw were thought to be part of the armor design.As the group observed Kirou, so too did Kirou observe them. Looking over the entire group, it was a mix of both elf and human players, with just one female dwarf player on the side. Kirou wasn't sure if he should think that the higher-ups for Sanming were biased towards the humans and elves for their beauty but this lineup before him just doesn't allow him to think otherwise. This was especially so when he noted that only the dwarf amongst the group seemed like a bonified crafter.
Following the hit to the head by the giant hammer, the shadow wolf was sent barreling away and crash-landed into a tree before it fell to the floor. Naturally, this was followed up by a huge damage figure in red appearing over the now whimpering shadow wolf's head.<Critical>[-1015]All persons and monsters in the area were stunned into silence at the scene. While the wolves were growling at the sudden change in the situation, the players were stunned stupid by the site of Kirou's current figure, as well as the high damage figure he just pulled off with one hit of that comically large hammer in his hands.While everyone else was stunned, Kirou was busy looking over the result of his attack, as well as the weapon in his hand. As if talking to himself but loud enough for the others to hear, Kirou spoke up, "This is a nicely made hammer. That swing felt so nice and the power delivered by the hit was quite good
Both men selected a corpse and got into position. While the thief, Short Fuse stuck to the knife in his hand, Kirou took out a small toolkit filled with various 'tools' from his inventory. The Sanming Sect Master and the rest saw this but most of them thought that he was just pretending. Kirou ignored their thoughts and started on his corpse with an unenthusiastic expression and an unhurried pace.Short Fuse saw Kirou start working at a slow pace and outwardly sneered before he too started working on his corpse. Like that, both men went about dissecting and dismantling the corpses of the shadow wolves before them. The rest watched as both men worked in silence, one set thinking that they will oust the faker while the others furrowing their eyebrows in confusion.After three minutes, Short Fuse had just finished working on his corpse when he turned towards Kirou, ready to gloat, only for the words to die in his throat as he saw Kirou still wo
Kirou smiled as he heard everyone shout. This was the reaction that he was both expecting and looking forward to the most. Kirou waited for a few moments, giving everyone else the time they needed to calm down and collect themselves.Navi was the one who spoke up, "Before we answer that question, would you mind telling us your reason, Kirou?" Her words reflected the current thoughts of everyone in the room, whether they wanted to admit it or not.Kirou leaned back in his chair, interlocking his ten fingers before his face, hiding the mischievous smile that he was making. No one could see it, but the group could instinctively feel that he was making such a face as he spoke up, "I don't have a problem sharing my reasons with you guys since I'm asking such an unreasonable request."His words sounded like they were apologetic on the surface but Navi, Guardian Knight, and the female elf thief could hear the mirth laced within
