Felix realized that he struck a nerve by his heavy attacks after seeing Asna behave like this. After all, how could a shameless woman like her who ate insults for breakfast get affected by his remarks?
"Asna, what's up with you?" Felix asked a bit worried while approaching her slowly.
Asna didn't respond to his question, she merely kept flicking above her bed in utter silence. Felix sat next to her and sighed after seeing that she was thoroughly ignoring his existence.
"Asna, I don't know if my insults are the reason for you behaving like this or something else. However, I am sorry if said something I shouldn't." Felix apologized while bowing his head slightly without fanfare.
He might be an asshole to her most of the time since that's how their relationship was, bickering and throwing insults at each other casually.
Clarification on death in the novel:
Dying in the UVR (not in SG) is not true death, just like in VR MMORP novels. You have a 24h cooldown before you revive and you must pay a heavy fine to revive. As for dying in the SG that's a true death both in real life and in the UVR. The moment a player signed the SG contract, his life and death were bound to the SG platform. He couldn't escape real death if someday he died in the games.
So yes, dying in the games is as real as it could get. If it wasn't for so, they wouldn't be called deadly games. No one was forced to sign the contract, the players went by themselves to sign it. They were given 6hours to read the contract and ask any questions they have. The SGA gave them everything they needed to understand what they were signing for. It's not the SGA fault some retards are too lazy to read it and got themselves killed later on by the MC/Judge for breaking the rules, or simply by not being good in the games.
In conclusion, Die in UVR, you can revive, Die in the SG, the Queen will pop your consciousness in real life.
