Chapter 256 255- Shay\'s Grudge

On the day of the Dungeon raid.

CLANK! CLANK!

"That\'s right," a voice said from a distance.

"Nice. Now raise your hand and force it down."

"Good. Good. But you are applying all your strength. Don\'t do that," the voice then said.

The voice belonged to a young girl, who was wearing Risen Warrior\'s guild uniform. She had brown hair and brown eyes.

She didn\'t look extremely beautiful, but she wasn\'t plain either. Furthermore, she was an average-looking girl, or that\'s how Shay described her.

"But isn\'t it better if I use all my strength?" Shay asked with a confused look on his face. "That would take more DMG, right?"

"Suppose, the opponent managed to dodge or block that attack of yours, how will you defend yourself if he strikes you then?" the girl asked.

"I will either dodge or block the attack as he or she blocked mine…" Shay shrugged his shoulders and said, "Simple."

He scoffed.

"Do you think you would have enough time to do that? If you used all your strength, you would need to take a deep breath first in order to move your body more freely. Then, you will have to raise your sword and think about retaliating against the opponent\'s attack. After that, you will either block the opponent\'s attack or dodge it. Or…" the girl snickered at Shay and said, "You won\'t be able to do any of that and get killed by the opponent."

"..."

"That\'s why, it\'s always better if you don\'t try your best at everything. Leave some space to grow and learn," she said with a grin on her face. "No one is born perfect, after all."

"..." Shay looked at the swords in his hands and muttered, "That might be for the best."

"Hmm?" the girl hummed in confusion with a puzzled look on her face.

"Me dying…" Shay turned to the girl and said, "Everything thinks I am an asshat playboy, rich, spoiled-rotten to the core, a douchebag, and whatever-whatever. All the curse words in the world can\'t describe how despicable of a man I am…"

He said in a disdainful tone.

"Is that what you think of yourself?" the girl asked in a calm voice. "I would rather think of you as an innocent, hurt, sad, lonely, man."

"Why are you so sweet to me? I don\'t remember ever doing something to you," Shay remarked. "Are you after my money? If so, then tell me, please. I am tired of people being nice to me because of my money, my status, or my parents," Shay uttered with an annoyed look on his face.

"I honestly don\'t even know who you are…" the girl sighed and said, "But I get it that you get special treatment, and you are a billionaire. While I am from a highly undeveloped village where we have no access to the internet, even in this era."

"So, how did you get access to the VR set and VR game that got you trapped in this world?" Shay asked with a judging look on his face.

"The VR headset company… I don\'t remember the name, it was a long and weird name. But anyway, that company came to my village to promote their new VR headset. They also promised free internet and many more things to develop the village. And… I was selected to be the first trial of the VR game…" the girl sighed.

"Wow. Life can be shit sometimes, huh?"

"No." The girl shook her head and said, "I believe, everything happens for a reason, and there was probably a reason why God chose me to be one of the humans to be trapped here."

"If you lived in a village with no connection to the outside world, I guess… it makes sense if you worship gods…"

"Alright, enough talking now." the girl clapped her hands and said, "Break time is over. Start practicing."

"Okay, ma\'am!" Shay scoffed out loud and started practicing sword skills.

\'What is it with this girl? I don\'t understand. She gives a different vibe than every other girl I have been with. She feels… natural or… innocent. Free from any time of hate towards anyone. A pure girl…\'

\'She is so sweet and kind. Even though I have been rude to her many times, instead of getting angry, she smiles at me and understands my problems. Why are there no more girls like her?\' Shay wondered.

\'I thought I was an oddball, but now I think that she is an oddball…\'

\'She… also has a fiancé…\' Shay placed his hand on his chest and clenched. \'Why does my heart sting every time I remember that?\'

His eyes widened in realization as he turned to the girl and murmured, "Have I… fallen in love with her?"

\'No, no, Shay!\' Shay shook his head and thought, \'What is wrong with you? You have been with girls 10 times more beautiful than her. I have fucked girls prettier than her. So why… why do my eyes always look for her every time I hear her voice? Why do my ears twitch every time she calls my name? Why does my heart flutter every time I see her smiling at me?\'

\'What is wrong with me? Why is this girl… giving me so much pain…?\'

RING~ RING!

The guild bell rang, which was the signal of a meeting between all the guild members.

Everyone gathered in the garden, and a while later, Elliott walked onto the stage.

"So as you all know, 5000 guild members will be joining the vice-captain Victoria, and go to the dungeon expedition to level up and meet the requirement to ascend to the high realm."

Elliott checked the menu and said, "Why are there only 4997 members? Where are the rest three?" he asked with an annoyed look on his face.

One guild member raised his hand and said, "Two left a guild because they didn\'t want to go to the dungeon expedition. And one committed suicide this morning."

SIGH!

Elliott sighed in disbelief and muttered something under his breath.

"So I guess three more players will be adding to the group." Elliott glanced around the guild members and pointed his finger at a random member.

"You." Then, he moved to another member: "You."

Elliott\'s gaze then fell on the girl who was standing beside Shay, and said, "You."
