Chapitre 39: Contenders.
Isaac finished his breakfast and went back to his room.
The mansion was eerily quiet— the only sound that came was from his footsteps and the distinct voices of servants.
He didn't go straight to the wardrobe to get his VR Helmet. He sat down on his desk and opened the laptop.
During the car ride, he remembered one thing.
He started searching about Legacy Tournaments.
Apparently, he is now a Legacy Tournament Contender. He had a small hope of finding anything about it, but at least he tried.
Isaac sighed and looked at the text on the screen [Nothing Found]
There seem to be two other Tournament Contenders, maybe even more now.
He thought that even one person would leak the news— it can be one way to fame.
Everyone would be curious about the so-called Legacy Tournament and might end up looking forward to his forums, and who knows, if he was a streamer, his views would skyrocket.
But, no one leaked anything.
There have been a few leaking about some mundane things, which is quite known by now, but some stuff surprised Isaac.
Apparently, there are items that give you XP boost, HP Restoring boost, and much more.
XP boost is quite simple— it gives more XP after each kill.
HP Restoring boost will restore your HP quicker.
Some people had a Common rank, and the HP got restored in only 9 minutes.
The 1-minute difference can be huge, depending on the situation.
For Isaac, waiting for 10 minutes with 1 HP was a nightmare— he never knew when he could lose his life.
Even 1 minute less would have made it much more bearable.
Having an XP boost is a dream come true for every player, but apparently, it cannot be bought, at least not for now. It can be dropped by some Beasts, but it is a rare thing to happen.
Beasts are much more valuable than Wild Animals as well, they give many more White Coins and more XP, but they are stronger than the majority of players.
'Should I...' Isaac was biting his nails and thought about one important decision.
Should he do his own forum post and talk about the Legacy Tournament...
He highly doubted that anyone would believe it, but it might bring other Legacy Tournament Contenders' attention.
But... There is one big problem.
Isaac shook his head and closed the laptop.
'They will definitely hunt me down if they find out...' Isaac sighed.
He might lose the Tournament Contender title if he dies, or other players will just hunt him down to make his level lower before the tournament.
He cannot expect them to play fairly when the Mythical Legacy is on the line.
Isaac already saw how desperate Kornelius was to get a Godly Legacy.
Some people treat the Mythical Legacy as peak Legacy because the Godly Legacy is just so rare that finding it is harder than winning in the lottery.
Isaac isn't that interested in Legacies, even though it is a life changing item.
Players aren't aware yet that getting a Legacy is the easy part.
Keeping it is the hard part.
They cannot die as a Legacy Holder— otherwise, they will lose the Legacy, and someone else can get it.
In the future, there will be a lot of Legacy Hunters trying to kill Legacy Holders so that their Legacies will return to the game.
Isaac went to the bathroom, grabbed the pants he used yesterday, and took the phone from the pocket.
The first thing he did was remove the tracker app from his phone.
His mother hid it well, but Isaac still found it.
He double-checked if there were multiple tracker apps, but there weren't.
Next was the thing he was most excited about.
Surprisingly.
It was time to enter White Online once again.
He opened the doors of the wardrobe, grabbed the box, and opened it.
A familiar blue VR Helmet was waiting for him.
He grabbed the VR Helmet and laid down on his bed.
''Phew...'' Isaac took a deep breath and put the VR Helmet on his head.
[Connecting...]
[Welcome to White Online!]
[Legacies Await You!]
...
Isaac opened his eyes, and an unfamiliar white ceiling appeared in his vision.
He looked around the room, and now he remembered where he was.
In his newly rented room.
*Ding* *Ding*
A message popped up in Isaac's vision— he didn't even have time to stand up.
[Legacy Tournament Commences in 6 Days 0 hour 3 minutes]
[Contenders: 27]
''27?!'' Isaac shouted with disbelief— he almost fell down from the bed.
There were still 6 days left— he felt like the number of participants in the tournament wouldn't be low.
''This will be difficult...'' He rubbed his forehead and stood up from his bed. He was wearing his plain white t-shirt and brown leather pants.
Isaac pressed a few buttons in the air, and his Chain Armor appeared on his body, covering every part of his skin except his face.
He left his room and went downstairs.
The room was very quiet— the only sound that came was from the creaking of the floor.
''Bella?'' Isaac said aloud, but he didn't receive a reply.
''She must be out.'' Isaac thought aloud and put his Inventory in front of him— he saw that his keys were on the Inventory.
He needs those if he wants to return to the house— he doesn't know how long Bella will be out.
He doesn't really know what he would do either. Last night's memory of carnage in Beast Forest made him reluctant to go here.
Isaac left the house and started walking towards the exit of the neighborhood.
He received a few raised eyebrows from the nearby civilians, they had never seen him after all, and the Chain Armor didn't really fit Isaac's innocent and adorable face.
Soon, Isaac entered the gates of the neighborhood, where two guards were standing.
They were different ones from yesterday, and they didn't even blink as Isaac left the neighborhood.
Even while walking, Isaac can see the massive mountain and the royal palace in the distance.
It literally screamed the word Majesty.
It makes everyone feel small in front of the mountain, but it also makes the Royals look like Gods who are watching their citizens, like Gods are watching humans somewhere in the World of White.
