The day before the new year holiday was over, I went to the rented house in preparation for entering the new semester. While I was walking to buy a sanity meal, there was the voice of a girl who again asked for help because her bag was snatched by someone.
Coincidentally, the snatcher ran towards me and without further ado I pulled his shirt until he fell down and I continued kicking his stomach several times as many of the residents around came to beat the snatcher.
I took the bag that the snatcher dropped and was about to give it to the girl who asked for help but, like something had entered my heart, in a moment I was stunned by the natural beauty before me.
''Thank you brother, fortunately there was a brother who helped me catch the thief. If not.. Sister..?? Hello..''
''Rey..''
''???''
''My name is Rey and I am a 1st level student from the Virtual Reality department.''
Damn why I didn't talk pleasantries before introducing myself, he must have thought I was a strange person. Sweat started flowing down my back afraid that he thought I was a freak but fortunately, the response was excellent.
''Hello, I am Princess Anastasya Wijaya and this semester I also moved from the economics department to the Virtual Reality department. Looks like we're going to be class mates.''
At that time I thought that if she were my future wife, I might be the happiest person in the world.
Our relationship went well until about 6 months later, after we officially dated. At that time, the Princess was told to go home by her parents on the grounds that her grandfather's illness was relapsing.
When the Princess began to enter the University there was still nothing wrong until 3 months later, when an Uncle went to college for a visit and saw me with the Princess being alone under a tree.
It was then that the Princess' family realized that she had a special relationship with a person with no background.
They thought that before the relationship continued deeper, it was better to cut off the relationship between me and the Princess immediately. They told the Princess to cut off her relationship with me but she firmly rejected it.
Over time, they contacted my father and threatened to make the company where my father worked bankrupt. But Dad firmly rejected all those threats. According to him, the affairs of young people must be resolved by young people.
Until one day, Amy who was a close friend of the Princess came to me. He told me about how rich his family Princess was until the part when the Daughter's Family threatened my father.
I was very angry at that time. Why didn't he tell me about his family? why would the family of my loved ones threaten my father like that? Does he love ordinary people like me or just play with my feelings..?
Angry, disappointed, hurt, sad all the negative feelings gathered around me. At that time Amy who was next to me kept talking birds about the Princess and her Family.
In the end, I took the decision to part ways and end my relationship with the Princess. Not long after, Putri chose to leave the university and leave the country on the grounds of studying there.
After I was reborn, I thought a lot about it. Did the princess betray me or did I disappoint her? Of course, I let her down because I was consumed by Amy's words.
I promise when the time comes, I will be the man who will protect you, not the man who disappoints you.

''What is the princess doing here..? Does he also play LOL Online..?''
After I thought, everyone in the Virtual Reality department also played ''Land Of Legends'' Online. I'm the only freak in the Virtual Reality department who played LOL Online in the 2nd year.
''Boss, how about we kill that woman first, then we fight that person again.''
''Okay, looks like we have no choice.. Mage and Archer, you all attacked him and the Warrior held this man to keep him from escaping.''
[ Fire Arrow ] ''Boomm..''
[ 31 ]
The princess attacked the back of Viper who ignored her words.
''Hey pengcut, if you dare come 1 vs 1 with me.''
He shouted loudly. I did not waste the opportunity when they fokos to the Princess and took a bottle of MP Potion and drank it because my MP had started to run out.
After that I used [Charge] towards the last Mage. Since everyone is only focused on the Princess, I can move without anyone getting in the way. [ The Slash ]
[ 128 ]
''Woow, what attack is it that can kill the enemy with one strike.''
The princess shouted in surprise.
It was the attack of the man you call weak, the face of the criminals glared at him for disturbing the chance to win and making a loophole for me.
Remaining 7 people without a mage, I only need to attack them at once and steal their attention all in order to attack towards me and forget about the presence of the Princess.
I advanced towards the Viper and attacked him while dodging the attacks of the other emains. Although he can fend it off, but there are some of my attacks that graze him and give a little damage to his body.
[ 13 ] [ 18 ]
''What the heck is this guy, he can dodge the attacks of 4 people and can still attack the boss''
The warrior screamed in fear because none of them landed on my body and I even managed to injure the Viper. Although it only slightly grazed the Viper's body, it would make them panic because if it continued, their Boss would die and that meant, their defeat was already decided.
Suddenly there was the voice of the Princess being attacked by the two Archers. It seems like they want revenge because they have been bullied and vent their frustration to the Princess.
I immediately went towards the Archer using [Charge], but the Viper managed to slash at my back..
[ 24 ]
I was pushed forward and fell under the archer's leg. He kicked me but I managed to grab his leg and threw his body towards the other Archers. I continued my attack on him.
[ Sword Blast ] ''Boomm..''
[ Fire Arrow ] ''Boomm..''
The Princess also gave an attack on the other archers, followed by my slash until the two Archers died on the spot.
When my attack ended, suddenly the Princess took out her [Blind] skill and a Dagger user right behind me fell silent unable to move. I slashed him a few times before he died.
With the Princess' help, I also managed to quickly defeat the Warrior group and left only the Viper alone.
''Well, the grudges between us are irreconcilable. Right now we might lose because most of our members are still below level 5 but if we meet again, clear your neck for me.''
''Ohhh, are those the last words of the gangster boss? I'll wait for you, come to me whenever you're ready and I'll take your life for pay. [Slash ] ''
[ 87 ]
Finally the long battle ended as well. I immediately sat on the ground exhausted and the Princess sat next to me handing me hard Bread and Mineral Water.
''Thank you for saving me''
The princess spoke in a shaved tone.
''I'm shaking my head.
''I am the one who should thank you. If you don't come, maybe I will be killed.'' I smiled at Purti.
''How could that be so, from the beginning to the end you protected me and were hit by several attacks for trying to save me.
I smiled at his guilty face.
I saved you because it was my priority.don't be hit by an attack to protect you, even if I died during the fight, I'll be happy as long as you survive.
If only I could convey this feeling now.. I would only be considered a freak if I spoke something like that to a newly met person.
[You got a friend request from White Pearl, do you want to accept it? Y/N ]
''Yes''
[Congratulations, you and White Pearl are now friends ]
''So your name is Rex, then see you later if fate brings us together. I'll be off now, bye..''
I muttered back to her words.
''I'm sure fate will smile and reunite us.''
''Did you say anything?''
''It's okay, I just wanted to say that you need help please just call me.''
''Alright, since you are my first friend here, I will occasionally treat you to a restaurant when you arrive in town.''
''Your color has promised, never deny your words.''
''Ahaha.. See you soon Rex, I'm out..''
The princess immediately disappeared out of the game.
Isn't destiny funny. Our first meeting was when I was helping him from a criminal and now, he's trying to help me even though I'm protecting him.
From the beginning he never changed, like an Angel who would shine a light on the people around him no matter the circumstances.
Even when I ended our relationship first, she just smiled and wished me all the best.
I promise that I will be the one to stand by you. I round my throat for the umpteenth time.
After a short break and my stamina began to recover, I went to the village and bought the stock of potions I had spent against the group of criminals earlier.
After that I opened the stall to buy loot from players who had finished defeating the forest monsters until my stamina recovered 100%, then I will go to the hills to fight the strongest monster in the beginner village, the Brown Bear.
