“ Oh yeah , wasn’t she supposed to be your fiancé? Young master trash ?
Why dont you do something about it and go save her like a hero ? Who knows maybe she’ll get impressed and marry your crippled self “
“Dont tease him Jason, you know he cant even move ! How is he supposed to save her, through prayer ? “
It was true that Jamie disliked Jason and felt like killing him, but he hated guys like Till even more .
He pretends to feel sorry for him and tells Jason ‘ not to do ‘ mean things to him but he doesn’t do it out of compassion.
He just does it to feel less shitty about himself, and in his eyes that made him worse than people like Jason .
As for Cara’s situation, he couldn’t help her despite their arranged marriage.
She didn’t even know him and he had to rest his body before his village gets raided.
“ Can’t burn myself to save someone who is burning, if it is meant to be she will survive . If she dies I will take her revenge”
He sure talked big but the image of her being dragged by her hair with tears on her eyes took his sleep away .
“ Lets go and check out the Forum then “
The human admins of “ Conquest Online “ had already created several social media platforms just like they did in his past life.
The most famous ones were C-Forum where daily discussions would take place and information would spread , C- Gram where players posted pictures of their in game lifestyle and of course C- Tube .
The game pod collected many data from the players ( for whatever freaky reason ) , all the players had accounts in all of the 3 platforms automatically created for them .
Jamie was surprised to see his C-gram already had 141 thousand followers and his C- Tube account over 300 thousand subscribers.
“ Lets see if the players have already started to stream “
The first video to show up on his C-Tube feed was that of user CON - Conquest Online News . Sure enough some players used the game to make a living and chose to pursue in game journalism , not everyone had ambitions to conquer after all . Most humans just wanted to live better than they did last year , and even that was wishful thinking .
The title of the video was
“ Who the hell is BloodVenerable “ and had over 7 million views even though it was only posted 1 hour ago .
“ It seems that my public post in the market has caused waves “ he clicked to open the video .
“ Hello everyone and welcome to my news C- Tube channel . Before I ramble about stupid nonsense nobody cares about let me just talk about something that you all care . ..... just who the fuck is this guy ? “
A picture of a manikin male with a question mark as his face came up in the screen .
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
“ is that supposed to be me? Couldn’t they have found some handsome actor or something “
Despite the wishful thinking Jamie was actually happy that he had gained fame .
“ As we know, some people playing the game are too rich and they just bought an army of players to raid bandits or attack strong monsters. But there is no player however saying that they know this guy which brings us to the conclusion that he achieved what he did by himself “
The journalist who was called Otis continued to mention all of the world announcements that Jamie caused and his ‘ exploits ‘ so far .
“ Being so skilled this early in the game its quite an achievement , but it takes a good natured person to keep a cool head about it . About 1 hour ago player BloodVenerable joined the market to purchase a few things that he needed, and despite having the opportunity to take advantage of others he went on to pay an ordinary player 3 times the worth .
Well, a previous ordinary player since now he is quite famous himself . Isn’t that right Orteo ? “
Orteo who had been waiting on the line joined the conversation, he was the guy who sold the worm den to Jamie .
“ calling me famous is a bit of overstatement haha, I was just lucky to be spotted by a legend who was in a good mood “
The interview went on for a few more minutes and consisted of Orteo basically telling people what he did with his new fortune. Otis then asked people to subscribe (since you could get 2 copper coins for 1000 views which made C- Tube quite the decent career path ) and ended the video that fed Jamie’s ego .
“ Since I am being this much spoken off, I should just take advantage of this newly found popularity and make some coin “
Jamie knew that in a few hours somebody would gain a crazy achievement that tops his so he should just go ahead and post a video while he could .
He entered the In Game Gallery and found the recording of his fight with the Alpha Wolf ( boss monster fights were automatically saved )
He blurred his face and posted it with the title “ How to solo a dire wolf dungeon “ .
Once he posted it he found out that quite some time had passed and it was now midnight, he finally found his sleep .
..............
When he woke up tomorrow at 5 am he ate real quick due to his anxiety, but he quickly calmed down when he found that his village was safe and untouched.
“ Lord, you have returned “
“ How are things Eveline ? “
Before Eveline could speak, Ralph and Pompei joined and greeted him .
“ we got 2 more soldiers lord “
That news made him happy, it meant that the 2 new additions were over D Class .
“ what about the other one ? “
“ the two soldiers are C class while this one is tricky, she is A class “
Jamie’s heart started beating hard, A classes were almost as hard to come as S classes .
The woman walked closer and greeted him by bowing, as per usual her stat tab showed up .
Name : Eve ( A Class )
Profession: Medium grade Healer
Skills: Medium Heal
“ closes wounds depending on severity, speeds up health regeneration “
Sutra : 12 Rays of Light ( Advanced Rank )
“ Very pleased to meet you Eve , we really needed someone of your profession.
Especially when we are on the verge of battle “
Despite her appearance Eve was not all that cheerful, she just gave Jamie an acknowledging smile .
- what’s with this bitch does she think she’s a saintess or something
Those were and would remain just his inner thoughts, for now .
“ Pompei , how is the battle aura research going ? “
“ I stayed up all night and made 5 more copies which have been given to the soldiers , mister Ralph included “
Ralph nodded in acknowledgment, he felt good being called mister and not knucklehead like Eveline did .
“ the soldiers have already learned how to apply aura on their shields, they even gained the ‘ Shield Wall ‘ skill “
Sure enough , high class soldiers had high comprehension.
If players who were yet to get a single skill knew that Jamie was handing out skills to his normal soldiers, they would have felt like shit .
“ since the fight this time will be super dangerous, I will have to depend a lot on you Ralph . You should have this “
He handed him the Master Swordsman token which got everyone’s attention right away . Not many players had such high graded professions on hand but Jamie knew he would find something better soon so he felt no regrets.
“ I wont disappoint the lord “
The last thing Jamie noticed were his previous (70/100) loyalty tab rising to 100/100 .
