Chapter 10: Sword Art Online

"Is it really okay for a six-year-old child to sleep in the same room as Roxy?"

He mentally scoffed, mocking his older brother's audacity, thinking he was a toad lusting after swan meat. He realized his older brother had been plotting this for a long time, harboring ulterior motives. Indeed, those who shared his blood were all the same.

Under Roa's stern gaze, Rudeus had no choice but to speak up. He said, "Why don't we let big brother share a room with Roxy? My room is messy and small. Big brother's room seems spacious enough for two people to live comfortably."

Paul pondered for a moment, hesitant. He said with some difficulty, "But your big brother is a boy, after all. It doesn't feel right for him to sleep with a girl."

Rudeus continued to smooth things over, "Big brother is only six years old! Miss Roxy can totally treat him like her own little brother."

Paul looked at Roa, who had a calm expression on his face. His delicate, doll-like face made Paul feel like it wasn't a big deal.

Roa also spoke up at the right moment, "Since little brother doesn't want to be with the teacher, then I think I can accept the teacher."

Rudeus was dumbfounded. He looked at his calm and collected older brother in disbelief, cursing the shamelessness of the person before him for passing the buck to him.

A childish voice, a gender-neutral tone that was hard to distinguish, a deceptively innocent appearance, and a detached attitude – although Paul sensed something was off, he didn't feel anything was inappropriate.

After thinking for a while, he turned his gaze to Roxy, who was excitedly devouring her meal, clearly having been hungry for a long time.

"Um, Roxy, is it okay for you to stay with Roa?" Paul asked Roxy.

Roxy glanced at the pretty boy out of the corner of her eye. Her mind was completely focused on the food in front of her, and she agreed almost without thinking, "No problem."

Hearing this, the corners of Roa's mouth turned up in a slight smile. He was laughing wildly in his heart.

It wasn't until Roxy finished eating and was about to go to her room to rest that she realized what had happened.

She grabbed Roa's sleeve, somewhat incredulous, and said, "I'm sleeping with you?"

Roa nodded, his expression calm.

Looking at Roxy's slightly flushed face, he felt he should explain. He slowly said, "Um, my room is actually quite big."

Roxy looked at the tender boy before her for a moment, finally sighed, and accepted this grim reality.

Taking her luggage upstairs, entering Roa's room unexpectedly made her eyes light up.

As Roa had said, his room was indeed very large. The spacious room was surprisingly clean. A wooden desk stood against the wall, with a chair next to it. Neatly arranged books were placed on the desk.

After a quick glance, most of them were books related to magic knowledge and introductions to the world's background.

The floor was clean and the floorboards were smooth, showing that the owner often cleaned the place. The bedding was folded neatly.

The entire room also had a faint fragrance. After a closer sniff, one would find that the scent of the room was the same as Roa's.

The word "body odor" flashed through Roxy's mind for no reason.

"Teacher must be tired. You've traveled a long way. You can rest first," Roa said in his childish voice.

"I must say, I am a little sleepy," Roxy said, yawning involuntarily as she put her things away.

Roa sat in his chair, seemingly holding a book, but actually pondering world capture.

The dim candlelight illuminated Roa's tender and lovely face. His soft, smooth golden hair reached his waist, and his golden eyes were pure and flawless, like yellow gemstones. His face was serious and solemn, meticulous in every detail.

It seemed that this boy had always been like this from the beginning, always feeling different from other children. He always seemed calm and reliable.

Roxy had thought about this in her mind.

She began to take off her magician-style coat, her eyes quietly observing Roa as she removed her clothes. If he dared to peek, she would definitely request to change rooms.

Unfortunately, the child before her seemed to be seriously reading, with no intention of being distracted by external things.

Roxy sighed, feeling both happy and a little sad. She actually wanted to ask, did she have no charm at all?

What Roxy didn't know was that Roa was currently examining the system functions with a look of novelty.

[Searched One-Star World: Sword Art Online]

[Time ratio between One-Star World and current world is 4:1]

[World coordinates located successfully]

[Please select your entry method: 1. Soul Projection (requires control), 2. True Body Transmigration]

[Note 1: Soul projection death will only cause soul damage; true body transmigration death is true death]

[Note 2: Soul projection transmigrated world settlement can only obtain a portion of the current world experience (can be allocated)]

[Note 3: Please participate in the plot as much as possible to obtain a large amount of space-time power to prepare for the next transmigration]

[Note 4: Checking your small world is in a damaged state; you may need a large amount of origin power]

Roa pondered. There were two ways to transmigrate: one was to divide a part of his soul and turn it into a projection into that world. The advantage was that the real world and the transmigrated world could be repeated, but the disadvantage was also obvious: the rewards could not be fully obtained, and only a portion could be chosen.

True body transmigration meant he could only choose one or the other.

After thinking for a long time, the Sword Art Online world was considered a low-martial world, only average. It wasn't worth transmigrating with his true body.

Then, let it be soul projection.

He clicked on soul projection.

Then, three options popped up:

[You can choose one of the following three identities to invade the One-Star World: (Identity selection will slightly affect talent)]

[Swordsmanship Apprentice: Slightly increase talent]

[Fool (Special): The Fool steps onto life's journey with innocence, simplicity, and without fear]

[Note 1: Choosing this talent will slightly affect your personality]

[You will gain the following states: Innocence, Simplicity, Conceit, Stubbornness, Instability.]

[Note 2: If you successfully clear the game with this talent, you can unlock higher-level Fool talents]

[Student: Slightly increase learning talent]

Fool? Roa frowned again. Honestly, he didn't expect to see the Fool talent again.

But clearly, the Fool talent was stronger than the other two.

His current Fool talent was only Tier 1, but even this Tier 1 talent had already increased his magical attainments.

"Then, I choose [Fool] as my talent to enter the world."

Roa's mind stirred. The next moment, his perspective began to be separated, his soul divided into two. Roa could clearly feel the perspective, senses, and state of his other self.

How to say it, a very novel experience.

He began to multitask, controlling the other self.

And that self existed as the Fool.

The time ratio was unexpectedly low, only [1:4].

If he didn't pay attention, the [Fool] would act according to the original body's inherent habits, a bit like so-called AI takeover, equivalent to automatic idling.

Of course, he could occasionally switch perspectives to experience the feeling of Sword Art Online. This was actually a very novel experience.
