Chapter 23: News About An Event Dungeon

Jayven continued to fight in the Virtual Arena for more than a month, and not all were wins or consecutive wins.

He would get to match up with stronger fighters. Sometimes he wins, sometimes he would lose. But not like at the tenth battle he had, where the hit was brutal on both sides.

And his record showed how great his performance was. So after fighting for two months, the record that he had set was 100 wins and 14 losses.

~~~~~~A Certain Discussion In The Aether Realm.~~~~~~

[This is crazy. I saw the first match, and it wasn't even a fight; it was an instant KO.]

[The first match? See what he did during his tenth one; he was like a wild beast even after he lost.]

[Dude, don't remind me. It's still haunting me in my sleep.]

[Yeah, Who fights like that? He was like an animal.]

[Does that mean he really is the Legendary Unyielding Warrior?]

[Well, the name is different, so maybe not.]

[Not exactly, though. Remember the final tournament before the game shut down?]

[Oh yeah, that was epic. If it weren't for the special item from TopGeared, Unyelding would have won instead of being a draw.]

[That bastard upstairs! He Didn't become number one with just his special items but also with his amazing control. Don't speak falsely against my idol.]

[Well, a lot of analysts said the same thing, so can you argue what he said?]

[But it is still an undeniable fact that he is the top player.]

[Whether he is the true Unyielding or not is yet to be proven, so please don't make an absolute judgment first.]

[That's right, let our goddess be the witness and judge of the true unyielding. IDOL.GODDESS.PNG.]

[My friend is spitting facts; that is how it should be. Let our goddess be the one to unmask this bastard's true identity.]

[STTTOOOPPPP! Don't let our goddess be infatuated by that bastard. He needs our approval first before he can breathe the same air as her.]

[That's right; I was there at the start of her career. I can't—I mean, we can't just make it easy for him.]

[Dude, chill; it is not yet proven.]

[But can you blame them?]

The Discussion continued and got heated up even more as their favorte Idol as getting in inserted in their conversation.

--------------Weekend----------

"Phew, a hundred wins. With this, I can say for sure that I am already an experienced fighter."

[Master, sorry to burst your bubble, but an experienced fighter is someone who can deal with multiple situations, not just one, so it is advisable for you to try other types of arena battles.]

"Come on, just let me bask in this for a moment."

[Sorry, but we are programmed to support our users on every given occasion. If they are sad, we cheer them on. And if they became arrogant, we reminded them, even if it meant damaging their egos.]

With that explanation, Jayven was stunned and understood the logic behind it, even if it is something that people don't want to hear when those moments happen.

But that is also a good reason to do it because, with the help of this AI advice, even if it is not accurate, it can still help with their psyche.

"Haaa, fine, but not now. It's been a few months already, and since I have already reached the mana user stage, I can now hunt a lot more safely than before."

[Okay, master, please don't forget to train daily and become a strong hunter that can help protect humanity.]

"I will. Oh yeah, speaking of protecting humanity, there is this news about a Dungeon raid, right?"

Just as Jayven was about to leave, He suddenly remembered some news that he heard from his classmates.

It happened, a few days ago, he heard his classmates talk about a few groups formed by the six families to raid one of the so-called event dungeons.

And one of the groups formed for the Dungeon Raid was able to succeed, and that group is currently supported by the church and also by the Ark family, which is one of the six families.

'I wonder how they were able to succeed with their raid.' Thinking so, he asked his AI assistant for some answers. "Hey Orb, can you tell me about the details of their raid?"

[The dungeon raid is confidential, but there are news articles that you could read in the forums if you like.]

"Good, show it to me."

[Understood.] Not long after, Posts and blogs about the raid of the combined power of the church and Ark family were shown.

"Heee, so the Ark family and the Church have a long-standing relationship. Oh, the dungeon they were raiding was the Destiny Tower.

Destiny Tower: A dungeon that was built by the saint and sage. It was made during their last-ditch effort to protect the world.

But it is said that there is a fixed time for its opening. And whoever conquers it first will get all the rewards, while the losers will wait for the next time it opens.

"Oh, the article said that they won by a narrow margin, and their line-up is pretty solid."

[Yes, ever since their defeat last year, the dungeon has closed up, and the one who won was Hunter Tundra. That might be the reason for this line-up.]

"Yeah, Hunter Tundra won, but I like to root for Lady Fionne more."

[But it is within expectation for many, and although they wouldn't want someone who has the bloodline of the demon race to win, they can't deny the fact that he is the strongest known hunter we have.]

"True, which kind of gives me some confidence, but somehow Lady Fionne is different. She helps people in need and hosts charity events y and she could be seen a couple of times with her daughter."

There were multiple articles about Lady Fionne and her child, along with the loss of her late husband.

"But Lady Fionne's child, Fiona is so cute, It makes me want to be her big brother."

[........Result impractical, but probability: 30%. Suddenly, a series of number calculations happened with Jayven's AI assistant.]

"Hey, are you mocking me?"

[No master is just saying that you have a 30% chance of getting adopted by their family.]

"Ouch. Although it seems high from a general standpoint, it is prsctically impossible unless I get noticed by them. Plus, I am already 17; what's the point of getting adopted?"

[True.] Orb then gave a dry acceptance.

"Wow, what a response! Anyway, let's scroll some more..... Huh?" As he continued scrolling, an announcement caught his eye.

[Artemis Star Entertainment Announcement: The first single album of our Idol StarBloom has now started the countdown to its official countdown release. For those who want to pre-order and buy tickets for the World Tour, please go to our website for more details.]

Seeing this, Jayven became hyper-focused and visited the website. He then started reading with amazing speed to learn more about the announcement.

"I see. I see. Mhmm, Mhmmm. So I can pre-order, huh? Orb, help me get ten copies of this album."

[Master, are You a Fan of this idol?]

"Somewhat along those lines, please open up the interface for their store."

[Okay.] Not long after the store website was open, it clearly showed how popular Starbloom was, with her album being sold fast.

"SHIT! Their almost running out." He then quickly bought the ten copies he needed.

"Before, I was only able to buy one copy of her and her GenMates albums because I was dirt poor, but now that I am somewhat rich, I can buy ten times the amount. hahahaha."

He then laughed like an idiot. But after laughing stop as he realized he don't know how much ACC he has used.

"Okay, that's enough. How much ACC was it?"

[0.]

"Huh? What do you mean, Zero? I got it right. He then looked at the transaction, and there was a record that he did buy it."

[Master, look at the currency used.]

"Huh? He then saw the credits used and found out that it was his RC, not his ACC."

"I can use the credits here?"

[Yes, the credits here are more in use in here than the credits outside, which is why the ratio of exchange here is 10:1.]

"What! So I have been using money that is worth a million to bet on a fight?"

[Yes.]

"Oh, my heart. I did that because you suggested it, but I never knew."

Jayven then realized his wastefulness. And took time to calm himself. And an Idea popped into his head.

"I can finally buy a storage bag. Yes! Orb, help me exchange my RC to ACC so I can buy a storage bag now."

[Okay master. With his Orb's help, he exchanged most of his credits, leaving some behind for his future endeavors.]

With that, Jayven exited the realmverse to buy his storage bag and was getting ready to hunt outside the city while he was at it.
