In Isaac's room.
The light switch was turned opposite, causing light to appear from the chandelier.
Luna, the beautiful black-haired girl with ocean blue eyes, was sitting on the edge of the bed with the TV showing her favorite talk show.
She was rather concentrated on the screen. However, her attention was being shifted to Isaac every now and then.
Isaac took the laptop from the desk and went back to the bed. He sat next to Luna and opened the laptop with the top panel.
After pressing a button on the side, the laptop started making a mellow sound of fans turning.
Soon, the starting screen appeared. Isaac used the touchpad and double-clicked on the Internet Browser.
Luna shifted her body slightly. Soon, her legs touched Isaac's and didn't move any further from there.
She blinked innocently and leaned closer to take a peek at the screen.
''What is this?'' Luna asked after seeing an unfamiliar forum.
''You don't know what this is?'' Isaac was genuinely surprised. Everyone should know the infamous White Online forum.
She shook her head, ''Nope.''
''Well…'' He rubbed the back of his head and started explaining, ''It is where Players can discuss about White Online. Whether it is about new places they had discovered or items, they can discuss everything, as long it is White Online related.''
''Wow!'' Luna's eyes sparkled, ''That sounds fun!''
''Haha.'' Isaac felt amused at her childish behavior, ''Well, it is called infamous for a reason.''
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna tilted her head, confusion clear on her pretty face.
''The Players are very… Passionate, if that is the correct term to use.'' Isaac turned the laptop around and showed Luna a comment section on a random forum, ''See?''
''Wha—'' Luna widened her eyes, ''They are so rude!''
''They are.'' Isaac said and turned the laptop around, ''You shouldn't go there. Apparently, Legacy Company is creating a new forum with stricter rules.''
''Oh.'' She nodded, and the smile on her face brightened the atmosphere significantly.
''Hmm…'' Soon, Isaac's finger stopped moving as he noticed a forum concerning him…
His eyes narrowed, and his fingers pressed down on the touchpad. The page changed from the homepage to the forum.
[Wraith is a cheater!!!]
'Player Wraith's ability shown in Colosseum cannot be real. Why the hell would Legacy Company create a skill that allows someone to be immortal?'
'Of course, they wouldn't! There is only one explanation— Wraith is cheating!'
'Fuck…' Isaac grimaced, 'Fucking idiots!'
He ignored dozen other paragraphs and went straight to the comment section. As he expected, the comment section was screaming for his ban.
However, at that moment, a comment popped up at the top of the comment section. It was coated in golden color, with beautiful silver text.
[Emilia: Our database was filled with reports concerning Player Wraith and his assumed immortal skill.
I am here to clarify that the skill Player Wraith used was indeed added by Legacy Company to the game.
We won't tell where to get it or how Player Wraith managed to do so.
Please stop discussion about this topic. Otherwise, we have to make much-needed renovations within this forum section or delete it completely]
''Emilia…'' Isaac mumbled, with enough strength in his voice that Luna heard it.
''Eh? Woman's name?'' Luna's gaze went from the TV to Isaac, ''Who?''
''Not sure.'' Isaac replied, ''Admin of the forum, I think.''
Luna's stiff muscles relaxed, ''Oh… You talked about the forum.''
She smiled and turned back to the TV. Her nervous heartbeat slowly relaxed till it was at average speed.
''Hmm?'' Isaac heard her muttering about something but couldn't completely catch it. Want to see more chapters? Please visit p a n d a -n o v e l .c o m
Before asking what she talked about, he saw the comment section bustling.
New comments insulted everything about Emilia, even though they didn't know anything about her. Also, the biggest topic was about fairness.
How could it be fair when someone has the ability of immortality?
Everyone forgot about Emilia's warning and began their crusade for fair play.
When the comment section was heading to a boiling point, Isaac's annoyed face saw another golden text appearing.
He thought that Emilia had responded. However, it was someone who made the whole comment section quiet.
[Arthur: You fucking childish fucks]
Isaac bit his lip, quenching the laughter that was about to slip through.
The first comment already silenced everyone. However, soon, a second comment followed.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm[Arthur: I didn't add anything to the game that would break the balance. Instead of complaining, play and hone your skills. What is the point of complaining in forums every single fucking day]
From there on, the comment section stayed quiet. The forum was slowly losing its popularity, and it didn't take even a minute for the [Hot] tag to be lost.
The forum was quickly buried in a sea of new forums popping up every minute.
No one… Not even one person dared to open their mouth against Arthur because he could do something that scared every forum user.
He can ban a person from the forum, but also… From White Online.
In the first days of White Online, someone foolish enough got banned by Arthur. He kept bragging about it and bought a new VR Helmet to continue playing. However, that Player soon noticed that his ban was still standing even with the new Helmet!
He tried his siblings' VR Helmet, even his friends. However, the ban was based on facial recognition.
The only way he could play White Online was to get a new face. It was possible. However, such surgery would cost millions.
It didn't take long for everyone to hear about the incident. Instead of going away silently, he started complaining in forums.
In the end… No one pitied him or supported him.
Everyone laughed at him, and soon that Player disappeared from the forums.
His current location was unknown.
Isaac closed the laptop and felt very satisfied. While reading the comments, he felt frustrated. He wanted to shout, scream, and curse.
However, Luna was sitting right next to him, innocently watching the TV.
Drips of blood tricked down from the corner of his mouth. Isaac quickly used his sleeve and wiped it away.
He used all his willpower to keep biting at the lip, trying not to make a sound.
