Chapter 53: Invitation from The Snake
As KongFu was about to turn away, jump on the monkey boss and just disappear into the background, Michu suddenly exclaimed, "KongFu, where are you going? Did you spot something yummy?"
"What?" KongFu blinked and turned his eyes to the monke. Confusion was written on his face and his eyes asked Michu what the young man did! He had two women around him; one that had proposed a date while another accepted this three-way date.
How could even Michu think about him and Yakuzan?
The Monkey God glanced at Venomous and Sandra, then beckoned Michu to come closer to him. "When a girl says the magic word 'date', you don't think about other people." KongFu slapped Michu's cheek, then Yakuzan's cape.
Two monkeys disappeared on the horizon.
Initially, Michu was worried about their safety in this beginner city, but upon taking a closer look, his face eased and he turned his eyes to Yumi and Sandra. It was highly unlikely for some players to attack KongFu and Yakuzan as the royal guards and players on the watch would protect them just fine.
He took KongFu's advice to heart, then asked, "It's a date then! Let's just try every restaurant here! Hehe! It's on me!" Michu had some spare money and it was usually Yumi who had much more stuff prepared for an adventure.
Thus, Michu offered, but his two friends shook their heads at the same time, "We will pay for our stuff."
Sandra then laughed as she added, "And, it's unlikely for us to try everything. If you haven't seen players vomiting in the game yet, then I will keep the recording button close."
"Eh, I won't puke! I have never vomited because of food!" Michu retorted, but reality proved him wrong. After eating and sharing his stuff with his friends, Michu suddenly felt sick and a rainbow escaped his mouth like a waterfall.
Though it made him nauseatic, the laughter of Venomous and Sandra appeased.
-
"I didn't expect our date to be anything special, at least for now," Venomous faintly smiled, "But this is gold." The rainbow effect on Michu's stinky waterfall amused Yumi even now. She glanced at the pale monkey whose forehead was being wiped off by Sandra.
The witch also had a faint, amused smile. These two were closely sitting to the monke who had been looking at the sky with a heavy head arched back, "So that's how it feels... to be full."
While Michu looked absentmindedly to the sky, Venomous waited for him to get some strength back and asked about the auction. As someone who had put the mystery boxes on it, Michu could check it even from this bench.
So far nothing got sold nor people even looked over the items, "It's one big zero." Michu replied, with a self-deprecating smile. He thought highly of his bananas, but he had never seen his unique stat going off.
What if all those bananas turned out to be nothing more, but a scam? Michu would need to upgrade his farmer skills to get more effects! He wanted to surprise his family and show them that there was hope to change their situation!
One million gold coins were equivalent to 10 000 real money! It would change their life so much already!
"Don't be dejected, Michu. You can't be! Rome was not built in one day, you know? You have to be patient." Sandra grasped Michu's hand and sang some nice words straight to his ear. She also added, "It's best to kill time by fighting or training. How about we go to that... Impossible Quest?"
Sandra wanted to cheer Michu as much as possible, then brought up the Impossible Quest carelessly. This quest's name reeked off with hardships and Michu felt like hard work would be the key here!
His face lit up with expectations, then he turned his eyes to Venomous, "Let's go on this quest!" He then raised his hand intertwined with Sandra's, "Sandra will go!" A foreign to Michu's emotion swirled within Yumi's eyes.
It didn't stop her from answering, "We can go. Funnily enough, the Impossible Quest requires us to get a lot of food and other survival stuff." To Michu's blinking eyes, Yumi's emotions faded away from her eyes as she turned to Sandra, "Since you were the one to propose the Impossible Quest... Could you be the one to buy all the needed stuff? I can prepare a list for you."
The witch's lips trembled to this sudden jealousy. Unlike Michu, Sandra easily could see through it, but so far, Venomous hadn't displayed even a hint of it. Was it because of her hand holding his? That would also be a little too weird.
After all, Venomous was the one to casually mention the date. It was a date because of her words, actually.
Did Sandra mistake her emotions as Michu did? She questioned herself, but then agreed, "Sure, I will buy all the stuff we need. It's for our team after all." However, if it was just a game that Yumi wanted to play with her, then Sandra would enjoy it wholly, "Each player's inventory has limited capacity. We all are around level thirty, so I need help to pack it all. Michu, could you?"
"Of course! I will hold all the stuff for you, Sandra!" Michu agreed on the spot, causing Sandra to flash a wide smile at both him and Venomous.
The witch clapped her hands happily, "Thanks! Also, each of us should have some potions and other stuff for the monsters, so we have to split our items proportionally to our inventory's capacity. Since we don't know the number of consumable items yet, let's wait for Venomous to buy these while we two go together for survival stuff shopping." Sandra pulled Michu's arm, then even brought herself closer. Her chest slightly brushed past Michu's arm, but he was thinking more about survival stuff! "Is it a tent? Oh, and we need a campfire! So sausages too! Haha! It's looking fun already!"
"Yes! Let's have a lot of fun." Michu's attitude helped Sandra and she hugged his arm without much feelings behind other than her embarrassment teeming her heart. Her loud voice exuded excitement, but that was sole to Michu's ears.
Both of them waved back at Venomous who was left alone on the bench.
KongFu passed next to her, "Hah! Snake Bitch! Team Witch here!" The Monkey God showed off middle finger mid-air, then on his four followed Michu and Sandra. Yakuzan was also behind him, but he glanced at Venomous and nodded.
She waved her hand at the monkey boss then whispered, "Prince's arms often supported a lot of damsels." Her smile grew wider, "But there's one that has the whole prince wrapped around her finger." Yumi stood up and strutted towards the alchemist's shop with her smile gathering some attention from others.
She invited Sandra to a mini-game, so it was already fun that the witch didn't just say 'Yes' or 'I will do it' and played along. Of course, Yumi had her reasons. First of all, Michu couldn't be the only one working in this relationship.
If he were to sell golden bananas successfully, Yumi would do as she had promised. But who said that women also didn't want to touch too? Another crucial reason was that Sandra had changed.
From what Yumi knew, Sandra hadn't spent time with any other player and just did her subclass quest, then went to the Azure Lake with Michu. The change in Sandra's attitude received an invitation from the snake.
Would it backfire? Yumi didn't think it would, but she believed she would be able to make a comeback no matter what trick Sandra used.
If the future could speak, then it would alarm her, though.
Thanks for reading! Have a nice day!
Come to discord ^^
Chapter 54: The Impossible Quest
The Impossible Quest was located in the snowy mountains, far away from the beginner city called Hemil City. The white world had many monsters confined within such as ferocious wolves and bears that had adapted to the cold environment.
Those were around level forty and one would be able to see many trails left by their bodies around the white forest. However, that would be only if one stepped off the road. Following the main road, Michu and his friends finally got greeted by the unobtainable peak.
It was already snowy and their bodies required thick and warm clothes, "This realism... I wish I could literally curse on it," Sandra whispered, her words bringing out the white mist.
She wore a long and furry coat just like Michu and Venomous. It was a special piece of equipment that could be put on their already-on equipment. Of course, the realism also had to say something and forced the witch to give up on her hat and boots. Sandra had to hide her face with a hoodie and wear uncomfortable boots, but that saved her HP from falling.
Had she appeared here without any preparation, Sandra's frozen body would have been the first one to fall dead here. Her two friends had higher stamina, so they would survive a few seconds more without any equipment.
But Yumi wouldn't be Yumi if she didn't prepare anything, "We don't curse here," Venomous also added while faintly laughing. The Impossible Quest was here, but it would teleport them to an even harsher snowy environment.
The wrap was just at the mountain's feet, so the party's steps never stopped.
"What is the history of this Impossible Quest?" Their journey here had been long, so Michu couldn't hide his expectations anymore. He wanted to see the quest with his own eyes, but the path would still take some time.
Thus, he asked. His ears twitched as he got a rather absurd answer, "One player spent the whole year here. For players, one year is too much time, isn't it? Players want fast-paced quests filled with monster killings and other schemes."
"You can do so many things in one year! I understand," Michu nodded.
Venomous continued, "That's it. But there's a worse element of this quest. It's not certain that you would be able to complete it by spending a whole year here. Still, the players that had accomplished this quest left it with treasures in their hands."
Just as Yumi was about to speak further about those treasures, the group of players looked at them with their lips faintly raised. This kind of expression was clearly condescending and Michu didn't like it.
He wanted to ask them why they would look at them like that, but the leader of this group took a peek at them, "You think you can be like Zerze? There are so many idiots around here nowadays."
"Zerze?" Michu titled his head.
"The player that went through this Impossible Quest in less than a month. Don't tell me you haven't heard of him? Everyone is here because of him." The man didn't believe Michu and sent him a glare that forced Michu to plead guilty.
Venomous cut in, "I learned about this Impossible Quest through Zerze's fame." Her eyes glared back at the leader who flinched as if something had bitten him already, "Don't force your thoughts on others. There are too many Impossible Quests to count. This one has such a name because it's exposed to everyone."
"Tche. I don't need you to tell me that. No need to act smart-ass," The leader averted his eyes, then resumed his steps. He didn't want to deal with Venomous anymore, "You all will just lose your time and equipment here anyway. Some people are just destined to clear some things faster."
"Well, save your contradicting heart to yourself," Yumi waved her hand as well and continued to go forward. She explained about Zerze and his impossible achievement, "Impossible Quest, Impossible Achievement. It all sounds epic and like a big clickbait, but he did it. I didn't propose this quest because of his deed, though. I have a feeling that... a strong mentality is required for this quest to come through, so it fits us." Yumi glanced at Michu, then turned belatedly to Sandra as if she'd forgotten about her for a little.
Sandra forced a smile to appear on her face, "I will pray for at least one of us to complete it. For me, it will be a good test too." She didn't back off and added, "I will make the most out of it." This challenged Venomous who knew what Sandra had in mind.
The Prince Charming had already infected both of them, or at least that was how it looked. A few minutes later, Michu appeared before the cave whose entrance had been turned into a blue-white portal.
It whirled and charmed one's eyes with its content, but Michu felt like his mind spun instead. He got slightly nauseating, forcing him to say, "Can we go already?" Both Sandra and Venomous were done with their check-ups, so they nodded and all of them went together into it.
Michu glanced at Yakuzan, "Hold tight." Yakuzan was silent because he couldn't wear his sunglasses here! He nodded decisively with a threatening hue in his eyes! The other monkey just shook his head while looking at all those people and their preparations!
The world then turned blue and Michu appeared in a new world... alone.
-
"E-E-Ehhh! Why?!" Michu believed that he would appear together with his friends, but he ended up getting lost in the white world. Once he appeared on another side, Yumi and Sandra's touch faded away, replaced by the coldness that invaded his clothes too.
Michu was buried in the snow and he had to make his way outside by digging. His hands relentlessly waved before his eyes. If he were to stay here for too long, the effects similar to bleeding would bless his body.
Would that be a blessing, though?
Fortunately enough, Michu's teleportation wasn't severe. He left the snow world in less than five minutes, but the snowstorm waved its hand at him straight after his head had popped out.
Its content was like a sharp tornado with icicles and frozen stones. If he were to be swallowed by it, Michu would probably just die! "Isn't it better to stay below?" He momentarily thought, then wholly left the snow. However, would it be so easy to run here? Would it be so easy to escape this tornado that had already locked its gaze on the monke? Michu didn't think like that and instantly began to swim within this new environment! He felt his fingers becoming numb already and no sight of any help entered his eyes so far.
The more time passed, the worse it became, "I can't fall here! We didn't even eat sausages together! Ah, I must take an ice resistance pill... Yumi would kill me if I didn't..." Michu cried out loudly, unsettled by the fact that he couldn't have even a little fun with his friends here.
The cries continued as Michu swam. Although the snowstorm was just about to eat him, he didn't stop moving his limbs at all. By then, the loud wind exploded at the front.
The explosion of this element was so sharp and loud that Michu stopped and raised his eyes. Here, the man clad in similar furry clothes flew up toward him. He wore goggles and his appearance was neatly hidden from the rest of the world.
On this flight, the man took out a silver crystal. He crushed it, summoned another wind howl that pushed him closer to Michu! Of course, he didn't land on the snow, but on the tree next to Michu.
He then shouted, "I thought there was a damsel in need from how innocent you sounded, the lucky one." It was a familiar voice that brightened Michu's face! The man shrugged to this expression, then threw a rope below, "Hold tight." He said the same words, but the confidence reeked off.
There was also something cool within this man's actions and voice, "And another one!" Another silver crystal shattered, pushing both the man and Michu away from the snowstorm! Mid-air, Michu regained some balance and flew like a monkey on the cloud! This made things easier for his savior, so both of them were all smiles.
Once Michu got thrown into the cave, he raised his voice, "Handsome dude!"
[Your Prince Charming Call Me My Sweetheart! Lv. 44 Guild: Love Paradise Guild.]
"You remember me? That's why you are the lucky one," Handsome dude smiled, "I also remember you. How did it go with that girl?"
"Ah, it's all okay! We became even closer and better friends!" Michu happily giggled.
"Friends, hmm? Did you come here with her?" As the goggles fell off and the handsome dude threw off his clothes, the prince charming asked. It was really hot here, probably due to other treasures!
"Yes, but we got lost!" Michu's words brought out a sigh from the handsome dude.
"That's bad, the lucky one. You let the girl's hand go despite her wanting to hold you. You have failed. Still, I can't be that rough with a virgin. Come deeper."
"Thanks! Are you here alone?"
"Me? Alone? Never." There was another lady deeper in the cave. She held her hand close to the bonfire and she seemed to be lost in thoughts. However, the steps of Handsome Dude and Michu brought her back to reality.
Michu waved at her! "Oh, another beautiful friend!" He shouted, "Hello!" His eyes then shifted to Handsome Dude, "You have beautiful friends. I wanted to thank the lady from back then too."
"I will pass your words to her," Handsome Dude smiled, his eyes on the lady. Her initial indignation faded away just from his eyes alone and Michu's presence no longer was a bother. Once his hand slithered around her waist, the lady laid herself on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
"See, the lucky one. This is the romantic world. You can't waste your time here," Handsome Dude continued and it was time for some small talk, "This Impossible Quest is a particularly romantic world. A time flies here differently... In a few places, at least." He began with a mystery!
