Denver immediately hastened to find Jaycee after finishing his quest. However, what he saw after finding him was completely ridiculous.
"Jaycee!" He yelled. "What are you doing?"
He totally saw him innocently bashing his staff onto the poor slime.
"I'm killing slimes?" Jaycee looked at him impassively.
Denver approached him with a bored look on his face and said, "Is that how you kill a slime? I never knew you can kill a monster like this."
Jaycee slammed his staff once more and ensured the slime's pitiful death.
"What can I do? I'm a support class and this is the only way for me to survive. I should make the most out of it, am I wrong?"
"You are not normal."
Denver heavily sighed as he approached him and uttered, "You are really weird sometimes."
"So? How long have you beaten that poor slime?"
"Around four to five minutes."
Denver was agitated and ended up yelling in surprise, "What?! Are you serious?!"
Jaycee apathetically nodded and replied, "Yea. What's wrong with that?"
'This guy! Is he really that clueless?!'
Denver flopped onto the grassy field, dispiritedly dropped his head down and mumbled, "I give up. You won."
"Hey slave. Why are you down like that? Is that head knight too strict or something?"
'Yea. He doesn't really know what nonsense he just did. Who in their right mind would kill a slime like that for almost five minutes?'
'He's not normal.'
Denver never answered and maintained his silence.
Jaycee also sat down afterwards and said, "What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly acting like a dumped lover?"
Jaycee annoyingly poked him with his staff constantly.
"Can I ask you something?"
Jaycee halted and withdrew his staff.
Denver faced his direction with a quite serious look and asked, "Be honest with me. What are you feeling right now after you've played the game? Is it fun?"
Jaycee gave an odd smile and replied, "Well, I admit it's fascinating."
"Really? That's a relief then."
They were swallowed by dead silence afterwards. Under the bright sunny day, their sleek hair danced with the cold breeze passing by them. They glanced through the bluish sky with a faint smile on their faces and appreciated the beauty of the virtual world for a couple of minutes.
"What should we do now?" Jaycee asked in passing.
Denver faced him with a bothered look and asked, "Did you perhaps open your costume box already?"
"Costume box?" Jaycee pondered. "You mean the one given by the administrator as pre-registration reward?"
"Yea."
"Not yet."
"Then, should we open it now?"
Jaycee aloofly nodded. "Okay, why not?"
Denver rummaged through his status screen and upon clicking the random costume box in his inventory, a red box slowly materialized in front of him.
[ Random Costume Box ]
Obtain one full set costume in random quality.
[ Would you like to use 'Random Costume Box'? ]
Denver without hesitations said, "Yes," with excitement attached onto his face.
The red box slowly ascended in midair and afterwards, it emitted a blinding purple light that lasted for almost a couple of seconds.

Denver was impatient and immediately equipped his newly obtained costume. Upon equipping, he was suddenly wrapped in gold light. After a few seconds, he just found himself wearing the costume he just obtained.
[ You have equipped 2 Pirate costume gear. All primary stats increased by 5%. ]
[ You have equipped 5 Pirate costume gear. All primary stats increased by 8%. ]
"Woah!" He was totally amazed as he glanced all over his body. "I am pretty handsome, aren't I?"
Jaycee irreproachably clapped his hand like a circus seal. He was also amazed at his new look. "Woah, just like what they say. Clothing can really make anyone look like a person. To think a monkey can look good like this, wow."
Denver was agitated and shouted, "What?!"
Jaycee gave him a thumbs up with such innocency on his face and said, "You do look good. A handsome dressed monkey, nice."
Despite how he looked so impassive as he said those words, he seriously meant everything he had said. He was complimenting him for the very first time yet Denver confusingly thought otherwise.
'Is that even a compliment? Why do I feel liked being stabbed in the chest all of a sudden?'
Denver braggingly coughed and said, "Ahem! I'll take that as a compliment then."
"I'm obviously complimenting you though?"
'No. No matter how you twist what you've said, it's too strange to be a compliment.'
Denver sighed. "Okay, I got it. I should have not expected something from you," he heavily sighed once more.
The flow of their conversation somehow made Denver oddly pissed.
He was throwing tantrums like a little pampered kid. He infuriated all of sudden and unintentionally yelled, "I want to see yours! Open it now!"
"Huh? That's weird. Aren't I the master here? How dare a slave talk to me like that." Jaycee merely uttered those words yet was terrifying to hear.
Denver felt a sudden chill. In an instant, only one person appeared in his mind. There was only one person who can send a chill down to his deepest core. He immediately turned his back against that person and instantly regretted what he had done. In the game, you can't get tired nor sweat no matter what yet, he on the other hand, was strangely sweating profusely.
'Shit.'
He felt a chilly glare behind his back. Though he momentarily forgot who he was yelling at, as he can't even rewind the time, he just prepared himself for the worst.
'If I die here, I'll get resurrected back in the town right?'
He was already prepared, prepared for what's to come. However, nothing happened nor was happening. Curious of what Jaycee was doing, he slowly turned his head around and was startled upon seeing Jaycee's costume box in midair, veiled in glittering golden orange.
"What the?!" Denver's eyes widened in surprise.
