The Newbie Is Too Strong's
153. Luca's Hospitalized
I don't remember exactly what happened back then.
All I felt at that moment was the unification of the heart with the essence buttons of reality that made my anger a little muffled and I was able to think more logically.
Strange feelings as if enveloped in a light that dampens negative feelings such as fear, despair and so on, and raises the feeling of being able to fight better.
My instincts also seemed to change. If in that condition, I would usually summon my crescent moon weapon, but somehow I just wanted to be reconciled with things full of light. That is why, I prefer to summon the elemental dagger of light.
The anger and other negative feelings came back to the surface as soon as the monster escaped and I failed to kill it. As if the anger that had been piling up and continuing to accumulate in my heart was released in one breath just like that.
My head also feels hot as if unable to face the pressure of negative feelings that have been muted by the buttons of the essence of reality. After that, I don't remember what happened either.
As soon as it dawned, I had logged out of the game and was hospitalized.
However, I gradually realized that I did not faint just last night. According to Chika and Diana who happened to be in this room by the time I came to my senses, I had fainted for 7 days.
Based on Chika's description, my avatar's body in the game suddenly exploded just like that. Out of worry, Kak Krimson and Chika log out of the game and ignore the mission. This certainly makes me feel guilty especially to Kak Krimson about the important ingredients he should have preserved in that special flask being damaged because he left the quest halfway through.
Regarding both Chika and Kak Krimson suddenly could not contact me in the real world, they immediately contacted Kak Nina and Kak Raia. Frantic sister Nina immediately headed to my room in a daze and what she met in my room was my condition that had fallen on the floor where the consciousness connecting bando I was using to connect in in the game has been burned.
Sister Nina and Om Rowin finally took me to the hospital with a very sad feeling about my condition that fainted looks almost like it has become a corpse.
I also heard from Chika and Diana, that Om Rowin immediately filed a complaint demanding accountability to the AD company that made his game about me being a victim so injured while playing the game, he said, but as soon as Aunt Judith arrived, the complaint was immediately negotiated and decided to settle it on a familial basis only.
Who would have guessed that Aunt Judith was the top five largest shareholder in the AD Company.
According to Chika and Diana, even Om Rowin just found out about it.
And here they are, both Aunt Judith, Om Rowin, Nina and Raia's sister were also still in the hospital asleep after being relieved to know I had woken up without any defects. It seems like they have been suffering enough to stay up late in turn to keep an eye on my development.
Instantly I remembered that it had been almost midnight and both Chika and Diana were still in the hospital.
“You didn't come home? Are your parents not worried? My condition has improved a bit, so you don't have to worry about me anymore.”
“How do we not worry, Luca. You fainted a long time ago. I guess... I guess you will.. Hiks hiks.”.
“I'm sorry, Chika, for worrying you.”
“Ah, no, it's not so. I'm actually relieved because you finally have awakened.”
“If about our parents, we actually live here. We are originally from another area who wander to school here. So it feels like there will be nothing if we go home a bit late.”
“But, Diana, Jakarta City is a danger at midnight. Now it's almost 9, you should go home, especially tomorrow you also still have to go to school.”
After a brief chat, Chika and Diana finally followed my advice and rushed home to their respective boarding houses.
Just as Chika and Diana were saying goodbye, I saw Aunt Judith open her eyes immediately. I'm sure Aunt Judith hasn't slept since she was intending to eavesdrop on young people's conversations.
“Luca, you're better, son?”
“Iya, Aunt. I'll recover soon.”
“No, Aunt. Tomorrow are the key days of the selection determination of the core team of the school e-sport club vrmmorpg. I have to attend.”
“Who cares about e-sports or what it's called! What matters is your health, Luca.”
“Hmm.” I can only nod with guilt following Aunt Judith's will.
There is still Saturday, one day left, in that selection round. Left behind no matter how far I pass the score, I will definitely be able to catch up soon and get into the first team if I challenge and win against his 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranks.
For the whole day tomorrow, I just have to focus on recovering myself. I actually really wanted to ask Kak Nina and Kak Raia directly about how the development of the score right now, it was just that my pride of wanting to seem indifferent to such trivial matters was getting in my way.
Well, besides, I'll also know the answer soon if I see her the day after tomorrow.

The next day, Kak Krimson visited at the same time as Lia and Kak Andra during the visit that morning. Lia was really making a fuss about her knowing that I was awake. It seems that ever since I fainted, he has been visiting me every morning with his school ignored. For that, I feel guilty for him.
“Sir Krimson, sorry, Brother. He said because Big Brother was worried about me and logged out of the game, the quest had failed because the potion was broken.”
“What are you saying, Luca? It was just a quest. The next day after that, I also immediately received a re-quest and then completed it well. Later in the day, his quest also did not completely fail. It works 80 %. But because it is not 100 %, the reward decreases. Butwhat? After all, only a handful of quests can be run anytime the quest reappears.”
“Lagain I've been a trust figure of NPCs there. More than that, I was more curious about the sudden appearance of the more than 100-leveled monster. As far as I know it was some sort of warrior from the last boss at the end of the game event. Who would have thought such a thing could appear in the early days of the game, and not only that, in the middle-of-the-arbit places as well as on the border between the Kingdom of Doremi and the Country of Nostalgia it.”
“Sorry, Brother. It might be my fault that luring such a monster to our place about this is not the first time I have encountered such a monster. Because of my existence.. because of my existence, the mercenaries there.. hiks hiks... they died because of the monster.... hiks hiks.”.
Unknowingly I shed tears. Thas right. If I hadn't been on Kak Krimson's quest, it might not have appeared. Just like Dojoron back in the Lalania Empire, the monster might have appeared because it was lured away by the air of my existence.
There is no definitive proof of all of this. But ever since I logged in as a player in Gardenia since being stranded in the real world, a lot of weirdness has happened to me.
I obtained titles that were very profitable beyond other players outside my bad luck [< - - still think that the luck is bad, not yet aware that luck 600 is very wow], not yet realized that luck 600 is very wow], there is also Aura, the golden dragon who became my pet who should only be possessed by a saint when the world is threatened by the danger of the Demon King.
Many oddities have occurred, not to mention about that dimensional gap, the doppleganger Granny Noni and her granddaughter who replaced her in the real world, and I am not an insensitive fool that I am the center of all that perversion.
And if my guess is correct, my moon scythe is not an indiscriminate weapon. This weapon can absorb negative air such as demonic air or death and transfer it into light energy. It wouldn't be strange if I assumed that this weapon was actually what provoked Dojoron to come attacking.
After I received the reality essence button from the Emperor Brother, the dark air of the moon crescent was covered. However, when we entered the forest area in the border area between the Kingdom of Doremi and the land of Nostalgia whose territory is quite dark because the sun is covered by trees around, the, the reality essence button was weakened so that the demon named monsters were able to re-feel the moon crescent from me.
That's the most logical reason I can think of why Aeghter attacked back then.
If so, I'm not wrong anymore is a very dangerous existence for other players, especially for the NPCs in that game.
“What do you think is agro talk about in the game, Luca? Who would care about such little things like the deaths of NPCs. They are just NPCs. The stronger the enemy, the more interesting the game.”
I wanted to punch Kak Krimson's brash mouth. But more than anyone else, I am the one who knows best that there is not the slightest malicious intent from Kak Krimson saying that. It's all about the difference in point of view.
That's right, why until I forget that important fact. There is not a single person in this real world who will be saddened by our death. For them, we are nothing more than extra characters than mere games.
