Ascyaf O Vivid: The VRMMORPG Story

Chapter 13: Who He Is

I look at the supervisor once again. She, a graceful girl who was sitting blocking the small door while eating her sandwich alone in this kind of secluded place. Even if this place was shown in the floor plan, others would not be aware if they did not pay close attention to it.

The girl looked up, looked at Akuji and said, "Oh, it turns out that it's you Akuji."

... It was like an ordinary meeting. Does he not care to be found by others in this situation? With his appearance, how could he just be an anti-social?

"What are you doing here?" he continued without much worry on his face.

Akuji did not think too much about it and immediately returned to normal once he saw his reaction. "Borrowed a book. Before that what's your name?"

"Have I ever told you?"

"I don't think so." Akuji said before sitting next to him. Ever since he had found her, Akuji thought it was better to bring her to Blaise so that the old man would not bother her anymore. Even if he had no interest in completing the quest, he knew it was better to complete it while he had the chance.

Taking another bite on the sandwich in his hand, he chewed softly before calling his name lightly, "I'm Naurel."

"So you're called Aurel?"

"No, Urel rather," Naurel replied casually which made Akuji's eyebrows slightly raised. Doesn't that hardly make a difference? And isn't Urel more like a name for men?

Akuji knows that Naurel is really a woman since she has it on her chest and experiences acceptance with ease. Recalling how Charista had wrestled with him just because of the way he called, Akuji chose silence for that.

"What are you doing these two days?" Naurel asked, causing a long sigh to emerge from Akuji remembering that he had not died once. And his attempt to kill himself was only thwarted, both in the real world and games.

Seeing how Akuji reacted, Naurel said, "It doesn't seem to be going well."

Naurel doesn't have much sympathy for Akuji, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a heart. "You can grab some of these sandwiches," he said, handing out a box of nearly-exhausted supplies.

"Thank you," Akuji answered taking the sandwich and started eating it. "Ahh, I really want to die now," he sighed. He only hoped that Blaise and his distraction would never come from the beginning.

"Just put the poison in the sandwich. Though it won't work since I've tried."

"????”

"???? “

The two of them looked at each other as they thought that they had not heard wrong before.

"You ever eat poison?"

"You want to die?"

Ask them at the same time ...

"...."

"...."

... Making the two go back into silence before their eyes sparkled brightly. Buddy!

"How does the poison taste? Does it numb your body?"

"No. It doesn't even have much effect on me." Naurel replied casually, "More than that, what have you done Akuji?"

"Well, I just tried to jump from a height and drown myself but it failed since everyone else saw it and saved me."

"Sometimes other people can actually do something that's not necessary, huh?"

"That's right ..," Akuji replied as if lightly as if talking about the weather today. "At any rate, we can't be mad at them since they don't intend to be evil."

"However it's really unfair." Naurel. "Where is our freedom! With the foundation of freedom to live doesn't that mean we are also free to die?!" she made Akuji nod in agreement loudly.

"Death itself is a part of life!" yell at them at the same time before tosing each other.

A strange bond has formed!

The two of them were still smiling in satisfaction, finding someone who felt like they could understand their strange mindset before Akuji remembered his quest.

"Urel, do you want to go for a moment?"

"Hm? Where's that going?"

"To the cafe below," replied Akuji. "And can I ask for the poison you used when it was still there?"

Naurel chuckled as if knowing Akuji's intentions before throwing a small moss green bottle at him. "Sure, it's not a problem."

The small door opened, driving them down the stairs that soon reached the ground before heading to the cafe where Blaise was. And ...

... Blaise immediately greeted Naurel as soon as she could see him before turning towards Akuji. "It turns out you really know Miss Urel, son."

Blaise had even signaled Akuji to find out his location if he escaped, but ever since they had met the mark was no longer needed.

"Oh, Blaise" Naurel said before seeing Akuji. "Do you know her Akuji?" Doubting Akuji's true purpose.

"No, he's the Old Man who bullied me to die.” Akuji answered.” He's also a forger who makes me have to find you or that Old Man will just keep interfering with my efforts,” continued with another complaint that was replied by a nod by Naurel as if understanding that before the two sighed at the same time.

"Test me, since you have found Miss Naurel, accept this." Blaise said, ignoring the complaints the two displayed as she threw a small yellow stone towards Akuji.

But—

"Ck, tsk, tsk. It doesn't turn out you're that cool, Blaise." Naurel immediately criticized him as soon as he caught what Blaise was trying to give. "Aren't you supposed to give Akuji something better for finding me? If it was you maybe I would've left this town, right?"

"Hah .. of course," he replied weakly. Not wanting to argue with Naurel and reach into his storage bag again before smiling.

"Akuji, since you're so curious as to what death is, I think this memory crystal would be a perfect fit for you." Blaise said, giving the red crystal directly to Akuji.

[Memory Crystal of Assassination

Attack :0 ❖ Defense :0

Type: Consumption

Weight: 0.1 kg

Durability: 10

Terms of Use: None

The crystal itself contains about the memories of an assassin, when used will create a murder scene that has 'he' perform a replay and unlock the entire Tier 1 and Tier 2 skills of the Assassin Skill Tree]

'A Assassin Skill Tree?' Akuji thought as he looked at what emerged from his assessment results.

How did Blaise, the owner of this memory crystal, have no idea what effect this crystal had on her and what kind of weapon Akuji was wearing when he realized her hair tie? Assassins and elementalists are certainly very different and Akuji believes Blaise just does not want to give something that suits him.

"Thank you," said Akuji before immediately using it and making the crystal shattered!

Even if he wasn't too keen on completing the quest, why would he refuse the reward that was before his eyes even if it wasn't appropriate? He would just accept it and find out if this skill tree had anything he needed.

Akuji's vision turned slightly as he felt like he was in a movie theater as scene after scene played out. The way an assassin approaches his target, the attack he gives, and the way he retreats. Well, that's all.

There may indeed be many scenes that deserve to be called 'bloody' but Akuji just yawned when he saw it. Hasn't Vivid's visual deflaut setting been realistic enough that players can see blood from existing wounds?

And the tape itself was finished as quickly as how it started. Makes Akuji see Blaise and Naurel back.

"It's been ten years, Miss Naurel. And I think you know that it's time for you to change the rings" Blaise said.

"Hmm? Has it been ten years? Time's really fast, huh?" Naurel said, looking at the ten rings embedded in his fingers before letting out a short sigh. 'It's a pity, even though I want to discuss some other things with Akuji. Wait—'

"Alright, I'll go there on the condition that Akuji come along," Naurel said, making Blaise's gaze point at the young man who agreed lightly when he said, "Oh, if possible."

"Then it's decided." Naurel tapped the hammer, ignoring any opinions Blaise might have.

Dan—

"DAMN MASTER!"

A screech immediately rang out in their ears as soon as a girl entered. The golden hair flowed, revealing pointed ears with slightly visible curves as the clothes were still slightly wet by the rain. Made some people gulp their saliva yet immediately retreated upon seeing the sharp gaze from his red eyes.

His steps were roaring, approaching the three of them as he said to Blaise. "Is there nothing you want to say about your treatment, Master."

Naurel and Akuji whispered to each other.

"I think Blaise really has a weird hobby."

"As expected of the Old Man."

"...." - ".Blaise took a deep breath. He realized he had wrongly left this disciple alone and became even more troublesome when he heard the exchange of the two people in front of him. "It's not like you think Miss Urel."

"Wait?! Miss?!" shouts Arsy, looking at the black haired girl in front of him. The only party that can be called ‘nona’. With the status of his teacher, Arsy did not even call someone the queen of some countries as a 'miss'. “Who is he, Master?”

"Remember Arsy. She is the person you should meet every ten years, Miss Naurel Eugene," Blaise replied before taking a deep breath. Making Arsy see the black haired girl who looked the same age as him again as his curiosity peaked.

“A Celestian."
