========================================================================================
For normal people games were all fun and excitement but for the resistance factions the games were a battlefield.
Death in the game meant real death as the system while recreating their bodies would find out their clearance or even worse trace their real body.
However the games were also a necesery sourse of virtual weapons, stats and even skills. Many people entered the games to steal weapons and some even through the game managed to upgrade their clearance level.
Games were full of high level missions and truth was "the Revolution" had their own members already infiltrate many games but W12 was the most dangerous, the reason was that somewhere inside was the emperess herself. She had some attachment to this precise game for some reason but very few knew why.
========================================================================================
Simon's POV
The armosphere was heavy and he didn't know why, in truth many had lost their lives in W12 especialy the final 12th world, the Ultimate arena, but the prizes there were just too alluring and there was also a way to upgrade your clearance level there, truth was that in all 12 worlds one could upgrade his clearance at least once but the risks involved and the hours it took were different from world to world, the arena was the shortest way to upgrade one's clearance although they first had to gain clearance by going to the floating Isle, if there was no insider it was an easy task although there was a 50% of failure as you had to find the right terminal, a terminal that is too busy to find that you are trying to interfere, otherwise the alarm goes off and you have to flee. After explaining all that Lidie was once more arguing with Galaxia. I think Galaxia simply likes to irritate her for some reason.
"Girls could you both chill out and make plans for the future, you said something about training what exactly is it about"
"Well essentially It's the two hacking abilities called "Copy" and "Paste" they are the only things you can do without the first clearance"
Lidie said and Galaxia was just ignoring her and ordering another drink. If all those drinks were real she would have long been out of service.
"So after we learn the two skills we will have to sneek into the Isle in the sky and gain a clearance for ourselves?"
"typicaly yes unless the princess that's drinking over there can help you gain one instantly"
She said and glared at the somewhat irritated Galaxia.
"I am not a hacker, I'm just a psychic, of course I could help you reach the Isle but why going through all that trouble, I just came to play the game"
Simon's and Verina's faces became somewhat pale and even Lidie looked somewhat terrified. If the girl wasn't a hacker and was a psychic as she said then she was a freak of nature akin to the Emperess, she could even be the Emperess herself.
"Wait I have an idea, I will ask Daddy if he wishes to help you he can probably give you that cleara...whatever you spoke of"
Whispers could be heard from around.
"Who does she thinks she is"
"If it was so easy we would all be level 100 by now"
"Probably trying to spread another rumor like the one with the school"
"As if any spy would believe such rabish"
"Dad said he won't interfere with my adventures unless it turns dangerous"
She said somewhat disapointed.
"Then it is settled, tomorrow I will teach you "Copy" and "Paste" and afterwards we will gather in the real world in person, ah and Verina you will need a portal device as well, I have already given one to Galie here"
Lidie said with a smirk on her face.
"Don't call me that only dad can call me that way"
Galaxia shouted somewhat angry.
"But aren't we friends?"
Lidie said and a new arguement broke out once more.
"Simon I think we should go"
Verina said after puting the device in her inventory.
"Right, we have no longer a reason to stay here"
Simon said while puting his arm around her and kissing her on her cheek, if there weren't so many onlookers he would have also gone further and taken her here and now.
When they exited the portal and it disappeared to his surprise Verina asked to leave, she said that she wanted to be ready for tomorrowes test or something.
"Another reason why I hate school"
He said with a bored voice stating his complaints to the empty space and the walls of his room.
Suddenly his doorbell rung, at first he thought that Verina came back but it was not her.
Leonika came to his home for a visit she said something about wanting to study with him.
This rarely happebed but it wasn't a surprise, when his scores dropped she would sheldomly drop by to study.
"So which subject do you want to study next"
She asked as they were both sitting at the couch after finishing with math. It wasn't that he sucked at it, it was more like he didn't care to learn advanced mathematics.
"Leo do you love me?"
He asked with a face full of mischievous intent.
"Wait, I don't know, I think we should wait and learn more about eachother before such fealings can blossom"
She said, her face becoming somewhat pink from embarassment and she was holding her glasses with her hands looking like a defenseless girl.
"Leo, I love you"
He said as his hands stretched towards her and with a swift movement he stole her kiss.
"No...don't...I can't"
She said but she didn't resist at all to his hands patting her legs and going inside her skirt.
"Is it your first time?"
Simon asked showing some faked consern on his face.
She nodded rather embarassed.
"Me too"
He said as he kissed her once more gaining the response he was waiting for.
For him it was a fortune that he knew she was an Npc otherwise he would have had problems with her parents but even if her Npc parents came he doesn't care since he knows that they are fake parents anyway.
"Lets stop here"
She said as he was about to take off her underwear.
"So you really don't love me, I think we should never see each other again"
He said theatrically.
"But I, I can't, in truth there is someone I like in class"
She said with sincerity.
"Do I know him, tell me his name and I will punch all his teeth out"
He said with unfitting anger in his words.
"Wait I lied, It's just that I'm not ready yet for a relationship"
She said while her face changed another tint of pink.
"But I'm leaving tomorrow"
He said although it was a total lie, she probably couldn't tell, if she could it would have been like revealing to him that she was an npc.
"What!"
She stood up in shock but in her shock her underwear fell off.
"Just joking, I will forever stay with you Leo, my love"
He said and kissed her for a longer period of time, his tongue entering her mouth mixing with her fluids and his hands one holding her head in place and the other gropping her tight ass.
You have to imagine that she is longer than him but most of the length comes from her rather long legs which now were leaning back as she was placed on the table in front of him.
With his hands he now held her legs wide open as his tongue worked on her alredy wet pussy.
"No"
"Don't"
"Please don't"
Words came in between of her erantic breathing, she was now like a cat in heat as her juice was dripping on the table, or was it his saliva.
"I am going to enter"
He said with a passionate smile on his face. This moment he had been waiting for the last two years, the chance to do her in.
The first entry caused her to scream a little as he was simply too inexperienced and forceful on her but afterwards only moans of delight came from her mouth.
While his mouth was at the right height to play with her rather large boobs. He undid the buttons on her shirt with his teeth and then begun doing to her whatever came to his mind, he had seen only a few rather "educational" movies and she was not like Verina at all, Verina he deeply cared acout while Leonika was like a thorn on his side.
He panted heavily as he too was quite tired now after having come three times already. Either she was a beast or his stamina was too lacking or both.
"I'm so ashamed, what will I tell my parents?"
She said red from embarasment and ready to cry.
"Say nothing, haven't you heard how many other girls in class have done the same, we were the only ones who hadn't sealed their love with a kiss"
He said kissing her once more mouth to mouth.
It was inevitable for this to happen, she was after all not a real person and her highest priority was not to agitate him mentally with negative emotions making her a toy in his grasp.
After taking a bath, she shortly left while he looked at her forgotten books, did they think that he would go after her, well he would give them to her tomorrow at class.
------------------------------------------------
At class
"Today Leonika has taken a leave for sickness"
===========================================================================================
Revs HQ
Today is the first day of training and both Galaxia and Simon are late, only Verina came right on time.
'Well not that Galaxia has a need for this training with her skills but Simon that Idiot is late'
Suddenly Galaxia appeared right in front of her. That was not how normally people appear in the training room but she didn't care to inquire how she did it, she had already gone along with it long ago..
At last Simon appeared, he was rather happy for some reason but he wouldn't be for long.
"The copy function is easy, all you have to do is use your or your oponent's status with psychic energy, thinking real hard about copying his status, of course there are tools that you need to open someone elses status"
Simon's expression turned somewhat pale at her explenation. It was true that almost all others could do it, but for him it was impossible, he couldn't release psychic energy at all. Although he had a large amount in his body it could only be used to defend him from other psychic powers nothing more.
Verina quickly grasped the skill while Galaxia ignored the training and was playing with the training scarecrow, setting it on fire, extinguishing it and some other crazy stuff that would have made many people question their eyes.
"Simon if you don't get the copy there is no reason learning the paste skill, I will train Verina while you can continue trying to grasp the skill"
Lidie said as she went a little farther with Verina, not hearing his whispering "Bitch" under his nose.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
He didn't really care about joining the revolutioners but by the time he came she didn't give him even a minute to talk to Verina or take a breath.
Suddenly Galaxia came next to him and said.
"Father says that you are very talented and that it's a waste of talent that you haven't been awakened yet"
Simon didn't understand what her 'Awakened' meant but it should have something to do with his psychic abilities.
"If you don't mind the pain, dad says he can Awaken you right now, but it might also kill you"
She said smiling somewhat cutely.
Simon didn't understand a thing she told him and just nodded in reply as if he understood everything.
Slap!
"How dare you ignore me"
She said and walked away irritated and rather angry at him.
'I will so much gonna do her in, one day'
He thought and to his surprise the girl with a smile approached him and said something that made him made him rethink his course of action.
"Daddy said he will cut your balls if you even think about it again"
"Wait, I'm a man I can't control every thought that passes my head"
He complained.
"Good luck"
She said and went away playing with the scarecrow but each fireball was pointed at a specific location that made his face warp in disgust, even imagining the pain that it would have given him.
Of course he didn't gain the copy skill and was now back in his room once more. He was rather depressed but who would come to renew his self confidence.
Ring!
Oh, the bell rang and with a happy face he opened the door only to see, Leonika and her parents outside.
"What a pleasant surprise"
He said grinding his teeth, at this moment he prefered having taken Galaxia's offer. Death seemed a better alternative but he was somewhat ready for this.
Leo's father rashed at him and shouted.
"What did you do to my daughter!"
"Honey please calm down, there must be some misunderstanding"
The somewhat young mother said, she was even more good looking than Leonika was.
"Mr Ruth, I have serious feelings for your daughter, if you want to continue undermining our feelings, then I will have no other way than reporting you to the system managers"
Simon threatened, of course it was an empty threat but the npcs had to play it as humanly possible and inside a range of actions allowed.
"I understand, state the date of your marriage"
The father said in submission.
"In four months after we graduate I would be happy to marry your daughter"
Simon said with a villainous smirk.
The reason was that after school there were two possiblilities, first was that the Npc would simply disappear since they would have no reason to interact with him anymore and the other was that she would leave her parents' home and live with him, which was even better for him. In his mind however there was another reason, by then he hoped to aquire a high enough clearance to toy with her since she was just an npc.
"Four months it is, but don't even dare touching her ever again before you two get married"
The somewhat angry parent said as they left with their daughter violently closing the door behind them.
Clap!
'One problem out of the way, two left to go'
He thought as he went outside and teleported outside Verina's door.
He rung her doorbell but only an I'm busy come later came from inside.
"It's me Simon"
He shouted, he really wanted another hote night with her and his bed was still a mess.
"Wait, I'm coming"
She said, her voice sounded somewhat panicked but when she appeared she was still wet from taking a shower in nothing but a towel.
"Won't you invite me inside"
Simon said somewhat smiling playfully.
"Simon, I'm really tired today"
She said somewhat nervous.
Simon didn't know why but the whole thing smelled funny to his keen senses.
'Is she hiding something?'
He thought and inspected the living room behind her that was rather messy at the moment.
'She has another guy?'
He thought as he knew well how much of a clean two shoes she was, she even had her books and cds in specific order and place.
"How about we just talk and sleep together, my bed is somewhat in ruins you know"
He said, but in reality he wanted to investigate into it a little further.
"You can't..."
She begun saying but suddenly closed the door in his face, he could have sworn that he saw a clump of of blond hair with a corner of his eye.
'She even had him still inside'
He thought as he went to the teleporter, he had enough time tomorrow to ask about her new boyfriend.
Well it wasn't a big deal since he didn't really love her but he still somewhat cared, they were friends after all.
Now he had no partner for tonight well it wasn't something unusual to sleep alone but sleeping on the couch was a real bother. He teleported to the store and went through the beds to buy a new one since his was in ruins and repairing is almost the same as buying a new one in the virtual world.
He looked through the beds when a hot goddess passed in front of him, he of course couldn't tell if she was an npc or a person but he didn't really care.
"Are you also looking for someone to test your new bed?"
He said with a rather charming smile having taken a pose that revealed his best qualities.
"Which bed would you recomend, boy"
She said while licking her red lips and with her other hand brushing through her long wavy brown hair.
"It depends on what you are seaking, I'm looking for something durable for the moment, that will endure for at least a few nights"
He said while closing his eye signaling on a second meaning.
"Tchk, a pity, I hate long relationships"
She said somewhat disapointed.
To her surprise she saw him laugh rather cutely.
"And here I thought I was the only one around"
Simon said, of course it was just another plot to have her, he didn't care about the duration of a relationship but most girls wanted something that would last for long so he went for it at that direction.
"My name's Simon, and I live at the 3030 0240 1050 apartment, if you want a night of hot passion please come"
He said rather bluntly.
She smilled and gave him a card and said with an inviting alluring voice.
"See you later Simon"
It was a strange card stating her name, kaj Elmoet and block of residence but there was no call number or anything, but on the other side of the card there were four small, really small stars which Simon didn't even notice.
Simon wasn't in a rush to go find her, now that he knew where she lived he could visit any time he liked.
He bought three beds and a new room for his appartment, since he had saved a lot of credits from things like helping books and other stuff people normally use to advance in their studies, he didn't even play game so he had simply saved a lot..
He went to sleep with a happy face just imagining that one of these days he would be banging the goddess from the furniture shopping center.
------------------------------------------------------
School was even worse than before, now Leo didn't even talk to him and Lidie tried to school him at every break about how to use the copy effectively or how to use psychic powers. Of course her pratling went on thin air since Simon didn't care about that stuff although Lidie's angry face wasn't bad at all. She was rather cute if you think of someone smaller than you trying to boss you, she was like a little cute boss over his head, or undernearh it.
"Tomorrow we will gather at the A195 intersection in the real world, make sure that you are all there"
Lidie informed them after they left the training hall.
The reason was that they would go get their level 1 clearance, with the clearance it didn't really matter if he couldn't use "copy&paste" he could still snatch items from different worlds or players, storring them inside a special inventory wich was essential for any hacker or terrorist. The clearance levels went as high as level 100 but it was foolish to even imagine reaching such a level without dying even once.
Galaxia approached him once more.
"Daddy says that if you want he can still awaken your powers but it depends on whether you wish to suffer now or tomorrow"
She said, it was a message so she didn't really care what it meant.
"Tell him that I thank him for his offer but it doesn't really matter, I know what my psychic powers are and even if as you say he awakens it, what can "Indominable will" do?"
Galaxia just snorted and begun laughing, truth was that many who heard his power had the same reaction indominable will sounded like crap.
"Sorry for that, it's just funny to hear such a stupid thing out of the blue"
Galaxia said but he didn't take it to heart anyway.
"No need to apologize, I know it's a really weak and rather stupid power"
He said.
"It's you who is stupid, you haven't even used it and you calll it trash"
She said this time somewhat irritated.
Simon was at a loss for words, was she laughing with him the time before, of his ignorance or words.
It made him somehow interested in the awakening thing but he didn't know how to ask for it now that he had already refused.
"Don't bother asking now, daddy says you will be forcefully awakened tomorrow anyway"
She said and left back to the bar, leaving the three of them in the training hall not understanding the meaning of her words.
Truth was there were many fortune tellers that could see into the future but because of this it was impossible to foretell what will happen when more than two people interfere with the future, so it was impossible to even assume that Galaxia or her father could predict the future.
Simon before leaving asked Verina about her new boyfriend but she only mentioned a name "Zephir".
Well it only meant one thing, no more visits from her in the future, but he didn't mind anymore.
He was not in a good mood to go meen Kaj, that hottie and tomorrow was weekend so they had no school.
Truth was that he hadn't left the virtual world for years, last time it was when he wanted to see what the real world was all about and it was boring as hell.
Just trees and animals nothing special to boast about, you have to know, that all that he could also experience in the virtual world without the slightest difference.
Simon now left the virtual world once more, he wanted to see the real worls, he had enough stored time to leave for a week without having to go back.
Stored time like credits was given each weak, since there was no real need to work credits were given out each week while one hour for the outside was given each month, of course no one used the second but some people liked to take walks outside for a change and feel how weak their real body is and how strange it felt.
It didn't take even ten minutes for him to return back to the virtual world and go to his newly bought bed.
