The Newbie Is Too Strong's
101. Mystery Button Essence Reality
After from the swordsmen guild I leveled-up briefly at the silver wolf quest in the beginner village. After reaching exactly level 25, I immediately rushed to the Capital of Allidra Ekin, Lalania Empire to meet with the Emperor Brother.
The reason was none other than the strange power possessed by the button stuck in my chest.
“No idea.”
“…?”
“I told you I don't know anything about the buttons. After all the buttons are the relics of the first emperor and after he died, no one else knows anything about the buttons.”
“But isn't this the gift that Brother Emperor gave me? So Emperor Brother gave me a gift without knowing the danger?”
“By the way, Dik Luca, aren't you about to enter the tomb of the first emperor soon? Why not just find out through his relics in the tomb?”
It seemed, Brother Emperor was cunningly trying to run away from the problem he made. So it feels free to push it even further.
I finally came home empty-handed without finding any information.
But in the middle of the journey, I cross paths again with Lady Virus Sister and her partner.
“Yo, Sister Newbie.”
“Sister Virus Lady?”
“What's so moody?”
“…”
I fell silent at the loss of wanting to explain how, especially with the behavior of Lady Virus Sister earlier who seemed very interested in the Emperor Sister's gift to me earlier. Handing over dangerous items may be a good choice, but if you get to Lady Virus Sister also get hurt by the buttons, I can't let that happen.
“What is this about the magic power of the button that can open a dimensional gap that brings disaster to people around you?”
I was just speechless, but easily Virus Lady managed to guess my thoughts. After all, if Lady Virus Brother said so, does Lady Virus Sister actually know about what these buttons really are?
I was curious and wanted to ask for an explanation. But before I could speak, Virus Lady continued her sentence.
“Actually, you already know it, right, if the button does not open the dimensional gap carelessly?”
“…?”
I just fell silent shocked in disbelief about where exactly Lady Virus Sister knew about the secret of these buttons.
As Virus Lady said, after I finished the silver wolf quest, I paid a visit again to the deepest part of the ravine surrounded by the high cliffs filled with silver wolves, the place where previously the dimensional gap had also opened and showed a view of the tomb of Grandma Noni and her granddaughter who cried regretfully over the grave of her grandmother.
But at that moment, clearly the reality essence button was completely unactivated, very different from the dimensional gap in the novice dungeon.
However, I haven't had time to ask the reason, fellow Virus Lady who had been silent in the back answered him first,
“The essence of reality button moves based on the calculation of the safety of its master. The gap of the previous dimension was open because there was a person who had a very strong relationship with the person who was swallowed by the dimension inside and there was a person who was quite strong around him who happened to be himself who is able to eradicate all evil in that dimensional gap.”
Fellow Virus Lady who had long ears to the side was silent for a moment then narrowed her eyes then looked at me more intensely and continued to say,
“But in the last quest, Dik Luca was only alone so the button assessed the dimensional gap too dangerous for you and decided not to open it.”
I'm stunned. How can the two of them know clearly what I've been doing in the game?
But my surprise was immediately confirmed by the concerned.
“Not to be surprised so. Obviously we know because me and Mr. Princess have been watching you in the game ever since.”
I just fell silent, not knowing what kind of word to choose in response to a crime confession from a sudden offender. What's clear now is that I somehow understand a little what's going on. However, this does not change the fact that this factual essence button remains dangerous if I am not immediately able to control it.
Without me realizing it, whether it was Brother Nina or Lia, it could have been swallowed up in the dimensional gap because of it. I didn't want that to happen and there wasn't anyone I wanted to save there.
Moreover, until recently, the boundary between the virtual world and reality was still very ambiguous to me. Just look at the example of me being born as an NPC being able to go to the real world. Or take for example Aura whose hologram can be projected into the real world automatically.
What if my loved one was swallowed in a dimensional gap and then affected his real body in the real world?
No. gabe. No. gabe. I don't want to until the worst of it happens.
Right, didn't Lady Virus really want these buttons before? I can give it to her voluntarily. Based on the explanation just now, Virus Lady should know more about what these buttons are and be able to take better care of them.
But the next words from the long-eared brother, aborted my hope for a moment.
“Unfortunately, there is no way to separate the button from you other than your lifespan runs out by itself.”
Hearing the words of the long-eared elder brother, my eyes immediately widened alertly.
“Do you guys want to kill me to snatch that button?”
The long-eared brother chuckled at my statement and replied, “Hihihihihihihi. Dik Luca thought we were such cruel people? Besides if that was our goal from the beginning, we would have killed you first without having to go out and explain to you like this.”
The words from the long-eared brother were actually relaxing, but somehow my whole body felt goosebumps.
Then, Brother Virus Lady spoke up again, “Also if a player dies, it will only be resurrected after 24 hours. By that we mean, your real body lifespawn that is connected to that avatar's body.” Said Virus Lady while pointing towards my body.
With more alert, I also make sure, “So you guys are eyeing to kill my real body?”
Hearing my statement, the two of them grew even more grim. Looking from his expression, it didn't seem like it was what they wanted. But it is not that I am also wrong to ask this question because it is natural to pay attention to the safety of my own life.
In a state of tears that were still wet from laughing, the long-eared brother continued his explanation,
“No. Pix.. Not like that, dik Luca. Moreover, if your original body connection is forcibly severed to your avatar's body, kiks. So you kiks..no need to worry if anyone is after you in the real world because of eyeing the buttons. Kiksihihihi.”
It was obvious that the long-eared elder brother was trying to hold back his laughter while explaining.
“The button will only be disconnected if your lifespawn runs out naturally due to age as well as how it used to be the button apart from Sultan Lacoza, the first emperor.” Virus Lady added. But what is with that smile?
Looks like a long-eared brother walked over to me. I was wary even though I realized that from this close distance, how could I escape from chasing a level 105 player.
“The most important thing now is how to control the essence of reality button in you so as not to run wild until you can control your spiritual power completely.”
Said the long-eared brother to me, then he activated his skill.
“Skill: Innocent Prison.”
Instantly the eyes of the long-eared brother reddened which was accompanied by my chest which felt hot.
I felt pain for a while. Then when the pain subsided, the long-eared brother returned,
“How now, Dik Luca? You can also feel it, right, that the button inside your chest is no longer passing?”
I also concentrated my thoughts deep into my chest. But what is this? A white light was confined within a very sturdy box-shaped silver prison. The light was crying.
I also tried to calm the light.
“Yosh, yosh, good boy, good boy, no need to cry. Sister is here with you.”
“Ngying.”
The light seemed to respond to my words and after listening to my words, he did not look sad anymore.
“Now let's meet in the real world to practice your spiritual power.”
The long-eared brother's words suddenly broke my concentration. Butwhat? Meet in the real world?
Hesitatingly and considering all aspects, it seems that this long-eared brother is not a flirtatious aunt as described by Kak Nina so it will be safe.
Then I turned to look at Virus Lady, still with her smile full of hidden intent.
I also realized that it did not apply to Lady Virus Sister. I need to be careful of him. He's a dangerous brother.
Nevertheless, I ended up agreeing to the request of the long-eared elder brother because it was better to try than nothing.
After that, we separated and agreed to meet soon in the real world if there was time after.
