The Live of The Coward (1)

Percha Island is a beautiful island with dense forests and friendly people. This island is in the middle of a very wide ocean and becomes an oasis for anyone who finds it.

Its inhabitants live peacefully under the rule of wise kings and queens. Every morning, together they take the cows and start plowing, when noon comes, they will gather in pavilions to chat and eat together, and when night comes they would do patrols, waiting for the durian to fall, and then gather to drink warm ginger.

Life on the island is so calm without any war. The wise kings and queens focused more on the development of culture, the power of the aura, and the development of agricultural and shipping technology. They exchange information, and if there is a dispute, they will resolve it using a cockfight or a buffalo fight.

Seafaring technology is evolving and young people are no longer content with their quiet lives.

When human civilization rises, their curiosity about the world will also increase. Young people with a passion and desire to explore the world will take their canoes and push their boats through the storm.

In droves, they said goodbye to their parents to go abroad, looking for adventure and a new world different from their beautiful island.

Are the island's resources not enough?

Is the gold on the island not enough?

Is there not enough food on the island?

No, it's enough, more than enough

The island was rich. Any wood they planted would grow to become a big tree in a few years. Each net they cast would catch hundreds of fish when pulled back. Every land they dug they would find gold, coal, and other earthly treasures in abundance.

They leave only because they are bored, they leave only because they want adventure, and they leave only because of greed.

Without shaking, they faced the fierce ocean waves. Undaunted, they braved the great storm. Without fear, they fought the giant monsters that ruled the ocean. Until finally they found a new continent. A large beautiful continent with a blanket of snow covering it.

They screamed happily as their bare soles touched the snow, feeling the ground so cold they were astonished. They named the snow-covered continent the White Continent.

They tried to find the original inhabitants of the island but they never thought that it would be the end for the peaceful Percha Island. The inhabitants of the White Continent were demons who were greedy and liked to fight. They killed each other to obtain fertile lands and scarce resources.

When the demons discovered that the youths came from an island that was very fertile and rich in earth's resources, their greed was fueled. They captured the youths and interrogated them about the location of Percha Island.

The youths tried to fight back with the power of their aura but the demons were not weak creatures they had the power to change reality by using magic.

The youths were tortured and the weakest among them revealed the location of Percha Island.

The demon fleet waved the sails of their ships. Hundreds of thousands of ships filled the seas with a desire to conquer Percha Island and its weak inhabitants. But they were not aware that the peaceful Percha Island had very strong fighters.

The kings and queens, Legends, and Mystics came forward to confront the demons who wanted to take over their island. And a big battle ensued.

Thousands of victims from both sides continued to fall. The number of demon troops and logistics was dwindling, and the location of their continent which was far away from Percha Island made the supply chain of food and weapons difficult.

It was only a matter of time before the demons were defeated but the great leader of the demons King Bael did something the people of Percha Island never expected. He sacrificed hundreds of millions of his own troops to bring a curse that had never been seen before. The curse of Solve Coagula.

The curse brought destruction to Percha Island. Every single human became a monster that slaughtered each other. Every king and queen became greedy and tortured their people. Every Legend became clouded with their past regrets. Every Mystic became immersed in their sadness.

King Bael knew that the true power of Percha Island was not their power to control aura or their power of aspect or the power of dome, but their unity that's what made his troops lose. Without their unity, King Bael can conquer this Island alone.

But before he could do that, The Queen of the South, the most powerful Mystic, used all her power to make the ocean rise. She controlled the ocean to bring Percha Island away from King Bael's sight. Then she hid Percha Island from the outside world by shrouding it with fog. Like a tiny ship on the vast ocean, Percha Island disappeared from King Bael's eyes.

...

"....However, The Queen of the South was still hit by the curse of Solve Coagula. Wanting to save herself and Percha Island from the curse she summoned heroes from another world to become warriors who would help them..."

Hendra looked at the woman who was talking happily in front of him with a blank stare. He wasn't paying attention to her words. He just sat there and waited for his boss to finish explaining.

His boss, Lisa, was a director of the V-tuber agency company where he works. As a V-tuber with the largest number of views from this agency, Hendra was asked to come and discuss the game that just came out.

"...This game was founded by the biggest search engine company in the world. It's probably the first game they made, so many customers are looking forward to this game. We have a chance to..."

Lisa continued to babble without realizing that the other person was not listening at all.

Hendra looked at his boss and asked himself 'Why doesn't she have a partner?'

Lisa had long black hair that reached her chest. To make her movement easier, She used to tie her hair in a ponytail, but that made her white and smooth neck a subject of attention. Lisa also had a tall body with ideal body proportions. Luscious breasts, a slim belly, and a big butt, plus long legs which made Lisa's hips stand out even more, without needing to wear high heels.

(A/N: Lisa POV)

So it was only natural that as a subordinate Hendra questioned Lisa's status, who is still single.

'Is she a lesbian?' thought Hendra rudely. Hendra never saw Lisa walking with a man but she was often seen walking with a woman. However, Lisa's female partner had a face that was too similar to hers, there was some gossip in the office saying that the woman was Lisa's sister.

Hendra himself thought that Lisa was a woman who had a spicy mouth so no man dared to approach her. Coupled with Lisa's family, which is rich and well-known, an ordinary man's mentality would be crushed before he could get to know her.

{You need to know your place peasant}

"...We have decided to appoint you as a Beta player. Is there anything you want to ask? ....Hendra? HENDRA?" Seeing Hendra who didn't answer her question, Lisa raised her voice.

Hendra woke up from his daydream but he didn't look surprised by Lisa's scream "Hmm. I'm listening to you, boss. I was just thinking about the information you gave me" Hendra changed his sitting position so that he became more upright "then when do I start working on this?"

Lisa took a long sigh and said "The day after tomorrow you will get the beta version of the game. You understand your assignment, right?"

Hendra nodded and said "Yeah, I just need to make a promotion video for this game on my channel right? What is the name of the game again?"

"It's Percha Island Online!!! I already told you before! Were you really listening?" Lisa was furious.

"I was listening Boss, it's just the name is not very catchy so I quickly forgot. Percha? What language is that? Latin?" Hendra tilted his head.

Lisa slammed her hand on the table "I don't care if the name is catchy or not! Is Doodle Company! LB himself made it. Do you understand what that means? Even if the game is trash it would still be popular. I will give you special treatment here, make the most of the opportunity given to you and use your chance in this beta version wisely. I don't want to hear any complaints because of your bad video quality! I want 5 million views in one month.' Do you hear me?"

Hendra's expression changed "Boss, what you're asking is very difficult, how can I get 5 million views that easily?"

"Don't underestimate Leona, right now she has 3 million views for one popular video, with this chance to play the beta version of Percha Island Online, she will get 5 million views easily. She will not mess up but you will! So be serious about this promotion video!" Lisa wrapped her arms around her chest and this action made her breasts look bigger.

"Ugh! I will try" Hendra furrowed his brows. Lisa was right, Leona is the V-tuber with the most views and subscribers at the moment. One video will have a minimum of a million views and if the video is popular, it could reach 3 million views.

With him being a beta player this was not impossible, getting 5 million views in a month was easy. This could only be hindered if Hendra suddenly did a face reveal, as that could prevent that from happening.

"Okay, I will wait for your work" Lisa nodded. Seeing Hendra who was frowning, Lisa suddenly felt hot. Since the first time she saw who the figure behind the famous Leona was, Lisa always had some questions: 'Why doesn't he have a partner yet?' and 'Is he become gay?'
