Chapter 3 Incest?+Academy

"Huh"

"Ehhh!?"

Hei-Ran blushed when she heard Han-Min asking her to marry her.

"Uhh hm! Sorry I was too impulsive I guess you're right we should start as a couple"

"Yeah!" She didn't feel as confident as before, little kids talking about marriage and being a couple was absurd.

"But aren't we related?" Han-Min brought up a question that made Hei-Ran confused.

"Are we long lost cousin? What do you mean" Hei-Ran asked Han-Min "aren't we brothers and sisters? isn't this incest?"

"…Oh, this is an ancient world so anything like that isn't shunned the royal family does this to keep their bloodlines pure, but we are only related in-game no?" Hei-Ran realized he was talking about in-game and was even more embarrassed.

"Ah yes, I guess so. Anyways 3 kids should be fine no?" Han-Min bought up another question which made Hei-Ran blush even more.

"What are you talking about, we can't talk about such things right now"

"Aah right"

The day was spent with Han-Min and Hei-Ran talking and bonding as a 'couple'. Hei-Ran wanted to meet him in the real world just so it isn't awkward but he told her that he was going to stay until the end of the beta testing.

Hei-Ran also wanted to do that but she had to do model stuff so she wasn't always going to be online.

Han-Min and Hei-Ran agreed to meet after the beta testing had ended. And they would continue their relationship in the game.

"Adventure Time!" Han-Min wanted to go out in the world and adventure but he was restricted because he was a prince but he heard that nobles could attend the Royal Academy at the age of 9 and Han-Min was already 9.

Hei-Ran had also already attended the school and was in her second year. Nobles when attending had to go till the age of 15 and would be able to graduate. If commoners attended branch academies and graduated then they could be given titles and join the noble's houses as guards.

Han-Min had the guard do some research and give him information since he couldn't talk to Hei-Ran anymore as she had to return to the academy.

There are 8 princes and 7 princesses, 1 Queen-mother, and 8 concubines. Fortunately, Han-Min and Hei-Ran weren't from the same mother. He was the third prince of the third concubine and Hei-Ran was the second princess of the 2nd concubine.

The crown prince was the son of the Queen Mother, he was respectable and was righteous so no one had opposed him being the next king under the monarch.

The Monarch was their grandfather and Queen mother's father-in-law, the current king was their father. The monarchs' wife had been killed by a top-ranking demon sect in the demon continent.

The monarch had gathered the top forces from all 5 dragon continents and decimated the sect not caring for the peace treaty. And the demon continents couldn't say anything about it.

They kept some high-ranking demons from the sect and tortured them daily and to this day none of them have died.

"God-damn"

Han-Min requested an audience with the kings.

"Third Prince? Why have you come to meet me?"

"I'm of the age 9 and I wanted to attend the academy"

"Is this to follow the second princess?"

…

"What? No no"

"We have seen that you two meet up once in a while before she returned, do you want me to arrange a marriage?" The king said while smiling, he had a good impression of Han-Min and even more so when Han-Min entered and he saw that he reached the 4th stage of strength training only at the age of 9.

"We?"

"…yes or no?" The king didn't want to reveal anything to a kid.

"Yes as long as she agrees"

"Ok, and you will be escorted to the academy tomorrow, a guard will be assigned to you"

"Let me choose my own"

"Hey, bastard! Take the prince to choose a guard" the king screamed

In the middle of the room, a person with a black costume had appeared and nodded in fear.

"I'll take him," Han-Min said when he saw the name Tag on top of his head and recognized him.

"Hmm?" The king looked at the guy in the middle of the room and didn't say much.

"Yes king I will protect the prince"

"You better"

"Let's go"

Han-Min left the room after a little talk with his father.

After Han-Min arrived at his room and the guy had entered too.

"Pff Bahahaha you've been reduced to a guard"

"Han-Min! How long has it been?"

"Has to be at least a year no?"

Han-Min and Guy hugged after not seeing each other for a long time.

"Let's grab something to eat, Hyun-Ki"

Hyun-Ki was a friend of his he met when modeling they became friends but weren't able to talk to each other much because of their job.

"What's your realm? How much did you spend on the game? How old are you?"

"I'm 40, 3rd stage of body refining realm, I only spent money to be in a good sect but I was thrown in the personal guardian sect of the king. They treat us like slaves so annoying"

"Now you're with me so don't worry, after the beta ends continue in this avatar and I'll make you a free man"

"Haha ok ok let's eat"

After not talking so long they had spent the whole evening talking, they also sparred but of course, Hyun-Ki had to limit his strength. Han-Min could beat Hyun-Ki when he limited his strength to the 5th stage of the strength training realm which was surprising.

"Very talented"

"Alright I need to cultivate you do what you're supposed to"

"I'm going to log off and sleep and come back in the morning"

"Alright"

Hyun-Ki couldn't sleep in the game as he had to guard Han-Min so he just let the AFK thing do it for him.

Han-Min had mastered the techniques he had and continued cultivating with the Azure Dragon Cultivation technique.

Morning

Total of 54exp

4th stage strength training realm (108/400)

When Han-Min learned that he couldn't gain exp from killing beasts right now he decided to cultivate instead of sleeping and every night he got 54 exp.

Han-min got ready to go to the examination of the royal academy that was held twice a year. Although he could easily enter because of his status he still wanted to do the examination. It wouldn't be too hard.

The examination was in 3 days and he had already gotten a dorm in the academy so even if he failed the exam he would still be a student.

For the next 3 days, Han-Min stayed in his dorm and focused on cultivation.

3 days later 430 exp

[congratulations on breaking through to the 5th stage of the strength training realm]

5th stage of strength training (138/500)

"Another 3 days and I'll be at the 6th stage but that's a whole 72 hours of nonstop cultivation so I will keep with 9 hours a day"

He predicted it would take a week to break through if he did just 9 hours a day.

Examination day

"Listen everyone there will be a total of 5 tests, we will begin with the first one being…"
