THE BENEFACTOR (English) 12
"MS. DENISE! Look here!" Jana exerted a lot of effort to lengthen her neck and call relentlessly. "Teacher! Look at me!" Denise finally stopped. She didn't look friendly as she knocked her forehead. "What is it? You keep calling me. I'm done with the lesson. Did I miss something and you want to report me to the headmaster?" Jana closed her mouth. She stared at her evenly before enunciating, "I am a player in this game. Just like you. Now can we talk properly?" Denise' eyes bulged two times its original size. Her gasp almost swallowed Jana whole. "You... you!" "Me? Me!" she squealed, "I"m the reason why you died on the last level!" Jana saw her mouth formed into a smile. Yet before she could let it out, Jana's words made her stop. "Stupid!" She gathered her notes before unceremoniously bashing Jana's head with it. "Stupid! You could've find another way to overcome the situation without actually killing me! I have the unfortunate role of being the villain's lackey throughout th

'HYACINTH should be expelled.' That's the only simple yet practical thing to do in order to defeat the protagonist. But how to make that possible? That's quite a problem to behold. Denise agreed to be her lackey. Jana was in an awkward position everytime that Denise follows her around and denying it whenever someone is asking. It was quite hard to dispel the questions of her classmate. She, herself, can't see why does Denise needs to follow her everywhere. "Most of the villains get killed all of a sudden. That leads to the reason why I lose without even trying! Now that I know who you are and the role that you play, I need to protect you at all cost!" "Ah…" Jana tilted her head to the right and blinked furiously. "Do you even know my name?" "Myriad White! A student of mine." Denise answered with confidence. "How about we take a break? My mind couldn't keep up with the lessons. It's too hard." "So you know that you have to teach? You will get ourselves blown because of what

"WHEN are you going to use it?" Spencer's mouth opened wide to accept the large piece of cake that Jana was feeding him. He was busy prodding the computer for CCTV footages. As to when did he manage to get the hard drive, Jana needn't ask him about it. The way he smiled when he wiggled the flash drive in front of her speaks volume of his misdeeds. "Although I'm not fully convinced that she's really into something that may harm me, getting her expelled will not do anything to me. You're my friend so... I'll be supportive this time." Because Hyacinth didn't use Spencer's obscene pictures with Tasha, it made him convinced that maybe Hyacinth was only there in the wrong timing. Jana couldn't help but be amazed with the protagonists' innocent halo. Even if the evidence was clear, the non-player characters ultimately thought of them as someone who could never do anything bad. "Continue to follow her movements for a week and we'll see if you won't change your mind." Jana lowered the paper

JANA ROLLED out of bed with a frown. Her head aches. "Vivien, do you have something that can help me alleviate this pain?" "Host, it's good that you remembered me." The mechanical voice sighed. Jana was amused to know this human-like feature of this Ai. "The last mission got me an upgrade. You can now adjust your body constitution depending on your own will too!" Jana bit her lips with expectation. "Is this my 'cheat', then?" "Slim chance, host. That's very unlikely. Player Denise can also change her constitution but it also has to remain within the world's logic. Hence, it will be hard explaining the strange condition of your body." She hissed. "Yeah, now that I think about it— your upgrade has its pros and cons." "Nothing's free in the world, host. One cannot enjoy something without limitation. If not, then our lives should be endless." "Who says everyone enjoys living?" Jana yawned. "There will always be a person who thinks otherwise." Vivien breathed out again. Jana c

The papers laid listless in front of Jana. After biting her lower lips 'til it has gotten a red hue, she unwillingly submitted to disappointment. Still, she could not accept that her efforts went to waste. "Vivien, are there any safe hidden inside this room?" "The system has scanned the place as we arrived, host. There's no such thing." 'How can that be? The director sure has to keep something valuable inside his office!' "With the school's practices, it's not a surprise to know that the director hides all of his important belongings inside his personal chamber. After all, this small office barely has something that looks significant to his person." Jana considered Vivien's words. She agreed silently. With the careful set-up of Hyacinth's plan, her backer should be someone with a cautious personality. That's right. Even inside this small but lavish office, it seems like the man never liked to stay here if it doesn't require work. He barely has any personal belongings inside.

"HAND it over." Jana opened her hands with fingers widespread. She resembled an angry child asking for a candy. And Austin will not give it to her. "What do you mean?" he asked with expressions quite innocent. "Your camera. I want to find something from the event yesterday." "It's not my fault that you took an absence without actually telling me why." He scolded. "It's not 'something', is it? What you're seeking for is 'someone'." Jana didn't expect him to catch up quickly. For the most part, Austin has always played the role of a passive team mate in this little group of three person that she built. He was the type who will only come into play when he has something to do. "Austin…" She knows about his emotional development with the protagonist. Trusting him right now will seem like a joke. "I know you won't understand why I'm doing this but if you continue to go against my way, don't blame me for being harsh." His eyes flashed with a rare sight of confusion. "What do you mea

Felicity sat dejectedly in front of her book. The tests are coming and she need to work hard just like everybody else does. Unfortunately, Hyacinth took a large chunk off of her concentration that day. She can't read a thing with proper understanding. "Have you seen Melody?" Felicity raised her head to look at Sarah. She's a chubby girl living next to her dorm. They were not classmates but it's not difficult to know her in the crowd. She's loud and a little chubby. "Yes. Not too long ago." Felicity pointed at the librarian's desk. "I think she just left." "Ugh... don't be friends with her, okay? She's a scheming lizard. She even left me here." She displayed a timely smile before duking her head back to the book. Sarah has a weird relationship with her friends. They always fight but they won't leave each other alone. 'Maybe that's why Hyacinth wants to target them.' The girl didn't tell her what's the ruckus all about but she hinted about the three friends who were stupid

Jana didn't have the chance to call Austin and apologize for the second time the next day. When the exam is fast approaching them and Hyacinth, the living threat above her head, is just around the corner, she have no time to spare him. Clocking out of the school, Jana hugged her coat to her chest. She hailed a taxi and drove to the address that Denise gave her yesterday. It was a private hospital near the school. The place where Lizzy was sent when her accident happened. Jana played with the watch on her wrist. She made a schedule in her mind. After this visit, she has to study. The math subject in particular. There's no way to master that in just one sitting. Just as when she was wondering where to get breakfast, her phone rang loudly. She picked it up without looking. "Myr?" Spencer's hoarse voice greeted her ear. "Where are you? Austin wants to invite you for breakfast." "You guys are going out of school?" She leaned to the backseat and sigh heavily. "It's a pity then. I

Ezekiel and Jana went shopping the whole morning. Because they were both college students both short in money, they opted to go visit thrift stores and dollar shops. They found a lot of useful things and a few miscellaneous items that Jana bought specifically for Vivien."I created Vivien for myself. I lost her halfway when my souls scattered. I'm glad that she went with you. She followed my memories and hold on to you, you're the most familiar thing to both of us inside the game." Ezekiel took a sip in his iced coffee while they walked in the park. His black jacket reeked of his head throb perfume. Every lungful of Jana makes her head full of his scent. "At first I thought she'd go for Jazz but then Jazz already had a system of her own so... it's kind of... complicated.""She never stopped looking for you, you know. She's a loyal older sister.""Yeah, I guess. We never really got to be closer before. After knowing about the things she did in order to find me... I feel happy. I was ne

It was a silent morning of February when our midterm exams began. I finished my paper and turned it in within 30 minutes of the test. My favorite part was the critical essay writing because the topic used was my report in the first month of the school-year, hence the subject is my forte. However, it was a minor subject. So passing it would mean I don't have to take it again. That's my main motivation the whole time I was taking it.I jogged to the cafeteria to get myself an early lunch. The crowded hall gets a bit humid and annoying during the break time, so I have to deal with my food at the earliest time to avoid unnecessary arguments with my schoolmates.Someone beat me on my favored seat when I got there.The spot with the nicest seat would be the window by the last corner of the room. It has a wide view of the cafeteria as well as the beautiful gardens outside the glass wall.It was a junior of mine who beat me to it. A fourth year highschool student with the dumbest polka dot ha

'Meow.' Vivien hates her current situation. She can't speak! And her owner has been grumpy for the last two days. What seems to be the problem of the great Ezekiel?Well, apparently, he can't find her former host. Miss Jana 'hoest' Tesoro. Vivien is naturally sad about this— not. 'Hmp!'Her last host was indeed a very good one at exaggerating her mistakes and berating her about her lack of support! But to be fair, Vivien does miss Jana.They've passed several worlds and lived several lifetimes together. It is impossible not to get attached."What do you think about it, Ezekiel?" Spencer paced the room two times. When the man he questioned did not answer, he turned his face to Ezekiel's side. "Kiel? Hello?""What do you exactly hate about her? The one who jailed you inside the game is her uncle. You should stop associating them together. You have to take into consideration the fact that the game consumed her when she forced her way into the simulation just to save you.""That's what ir

"What do you suggest, Roshan?" The emperor is old. He had an expression that shows how tired he is even if this is his first private meeting this very day. He's not that enthusiastic about Jana and Roshan's relationship. He sees colors for what they really are. Pixena is hailed the winner even when the match has not yet started. What's wrong with giving Jana the third rank? Roshan has defended her to this point. Their relationship is obvious. He would always favor Pixena over any other girl in the empire. Bias works this way. Still, he can't dictate Roshan's wishes. If he saw Ms. Jana as a worthy woman... then he could only give his blessings."This month." Ezekiel gave Jana a small smile. He wrapped his hands around her delicate fingers, massaging it lightly. "I want the wedding to be this month."Jana can't believe it!This man tricked her thoroughly!With warm tears in her eyes, she nudged him lightly by the shoulders. That's why he said Jana should enjoy this world— because it was

"Lady Pixena, do you have any words for the players of this cooking event?" The emcee was more than elated to finally interview the prime minister's daughter. The woman was even more gorgeous up close!"Well, I chose to be blunt. Haha! If Lady Jana wins in this event, I will willingly shave my eyebrows."It was the hardest blow. Even Jana who was seen to be smiling up until three seconds ago is now frowning hard with a hurt expression on her face. Pixena didn't even flinch. She laughed right at the audience's face.'I thought I had to sabotage her dish to make Roshan lose his interest for her but lo and behold! She did it herself!' Pixena inhaled and assumed her timid expression."Wo-Wow!" The man got more than he expected. He only wanted to throw shade at Lady Jana for entertainment purposes but now Lady Pixena pulled a wide blown start of a real cat fight!Jana's parents took offense at what Pixena said. Even if Jana's dish does look bad. It doesn't warrant her insult just like tha

Denise hasn't shown her presence. It was official, she finally got out of the game. Ezekiel told her that and it finally settled the little bit of conscience in her mind.Morning came and the cook-off session started. Pixena —unsurprisingly, joined the challenge and ordered tons of vegetables and spices for her own use. The emperor was too biased because she allowed Pixena to do this when in fact, he had strictly implied that no one should use resources aside from what the organizers had prepared."Ladies and gents, you will be given an hour each to complete your dishes!"'Might as well give me an eternity and it will still taste the same— morbid shit.' Jana stood above the platform readied for her. The audiences scattered around to look at the two meter distance. Every contestant have either a concerned or nervous expression. Only Pixena was confident, smiling brightly and scattering kisses everywhere.Ezekiel stood at the center of the stage. He is one of the panelist chosen to judg

On that morning, Jana tried to see if she can make use of her antagonistic halo and be good about something in just one night. She heard something about 'beginner's luck' and so she hopes to see if the same good fortune applies to her.Well, it was proven not.She started early in the morning, doing her job earnestly and receiving cuts from the knife and burns from the pan itself. Up until now she can't see herself improving. Ezekiel was hopefully supplying her with good words. Too good words but the man won't personally taste the dishes that she prepared. She can take the hint so his promising words became empty not long after she exposed his dual face and black heart.Jana doesn't know which one to make tomorrow. 'God! The event will start tomorrow and I'm still not prepared!' Which dish is she going to make?She need not ask to know that Pixena will be there too. The life of the villain wraps around the protagonist. So if her name is on the participating list, then it means Pixena

"Pixena!" The exquisite saloon had its windows widely opened. It's understandable why they only cater to beautiful women— it would be a shame lowering the curtains down when the most fantastic view is inside. "Oh, wow! Girl, you look splendid!""Do I?" Pixena wasn't pleased. She cut her hair shorter than she would have liked. That's all because Roshan said that girl... Well, 'Jana' needs to cut her hair short. Could there be any other meaning why Roshan wanted the woman to cut her hair that way? No! It must be because Roshan himself likes girls with shoulder-width hair and nothing else.It's bad for eavesdropping on other people's conversation but she can't help it! Pixena liked Roshan for so long and these past three months... Jana has been following him like a loyal dog. She had dug about the woman's background— nothing shady. In fact, Jana has quite the modest background and the skill to boost it up too.At the age of ten, she was able to refine materials for her dad to use in thei

… a month ago …The people of the Durham empire looked all wealthy and secure in life.

Her father makes watches, customized jewelry and even compasses. He was even once commissioned by the royals themselves to make a gold-rimmed eye-glasses.Needless to say, her family has a reputation to uphold.
