I like them big, do you? Chapter 109: Bet with Aria

Before any significant event happened, Reylin casually strutted through the border. No one stopped him or paid attention to his moves as mini-bosses were a huge headache on their own.

Reylin still drew flames alongside himself, so monsters died with each step.

That was what lessened the burden for people from both kingdoms, and they all hovered their eyes on him with thankful expressions.

His black nickname mattered not.

Even though it looked like Reylin’s new skill, Hero’s Showtime, did influence them, it was not the case as the constant influx of mini-bosses wasn’t easy to handle.

Reylin didn’t feel like it was his fault, but he helped more than enough due to his hand in the whole event.

But this event should also open eyes for the whole world.

If one guy had prepared this many monsters, then what about others?

What else was hidden in the chaotic Faynom World?

Reylin yawned, “It’s boring without a beautiful companion.”

He had confirmed Layla’s safety and Emilia’s strength. Both these ladies were fine on their own, and no danger should threaten their lives.

Reylin also tried to speak with Yuki, but she was nowhere near.

Instead, Reylin received class from Black Rose, which he heard from them. That quest was about dealing with mini-bosses, so Reylin kept it within himself and just continued to kill them casually.

Of course, Yuki was one of the influential ladies in the Black Rose’s Shadow.

Alas, she had side effects from some ice mana project, so Reylin was sure he wouldn’t just focus on his class but the whole organization soon enough.

Regardless, that was a plan for later as Reylin strutted toward his girlfriend.

Girlfriend from Earth that seemed unbridled in the eyes of both players and residents.

–

“I’ve found three hidden bases so far…” Aria’s brother, the assassin, told this news amidst the loud battles.

Lioness nodded to him without looking in his direction, her sword hacking at the mini-boss. She left a heavy and deep wound on it, but her bleeding skill ate the monster alive! It soon dropped lifelessly.

Aria yanked blood off her sword and said, “Are those bases connected?”

“I didn’t find anything that would make it look as such. Still, with how these bastards conduct themselves, we should expect their bases to be connected,” Her brother replied through his mask.

His nickname was Sin White.

Sin White was one of the best assassins. He fought with many players of the same class, and he always came out victorious.

One of his defeats was when Reylin sneaked past him and took out his heart. That left a temporary scar on Sin White’s heart as his mindset was more or less similar to Lioness.

Then he heard about their elder sister getting a new boyfriend, a pyromaniac, no less!

Sin White’s scar disappeared, and he looked forward to his sister’s relationship.

Inwardly, he also wanted to exchange weapons with Reylin in a good spar to polish his assassin’s skills.

Aria smiled, “The timing couldn’t have been more perfect.”

Sin White followed her eyes, and he found a man in red robes coming toward them. His eyes expanded, then he chuckled beneath his mask.

It was not just those siblings who saw Reylin.

Her Common Supreme’s guild members also saw a pyromaniac coming toward their guild leader. A few of them flinched and wanted to stop him from approaching her.

After all, Lioness and Reylin had fought during the Guild Competition.

Aria also didn’t need to announce her relationship with her guild members.

Everything came naturally.

And it now just did…

“You! Be careful!” One of Aria’s people shouted at Reylin as a mini-boss appeared before him…

That player did it by mistake, as no one really deemed him an ally yet.

Reylin acted as if he didn’t hear anything, and he maintained eye contact with Lioness. One of those eyes lit up in flames, however.

A beautiful streak went up, and countless firebombs bombarded the mini-boss behind him!

It was a bear, ferocious to boot!

That monster shrieked in pain at the unexpected.

It instantly lost control over its body as Reylin’s fireballs pushed it away from its master. 

Not only did Reylin’s flames render the monster useless, but his power was also so tremendous that it couldn’t even run away.

Many players were speechless, and they really wanted to know what kind of NPC gave Reylin this much power.

Alas, that would never happen as Reylin paved his own path!

At last, Reylin and Aria were in their hands’ reach.

Reylin pulled a trigger and wrapped his arm around her waist, “Your boyfriend is here.”

He didn’t follow the scenario she had given him before as his voice was regular. He didn’t shout or scream his love but exposed the relationship through action.

A kiss was fine, then Lioness let him go, “I don’t want to part after your grand entrance, but we’ve found three bases. Could you take one of them? I will pamper you endlessly after.”

“How about you come to my apartment for some time?” Reylin came here to help her guild with their predicament, so he didn’t mind it.

He wouldn’t let any chance slip away from him, though.

It would be fun to have Aria in his apartment, and it also would give some vacation to Sebastian. Of course, it wouldn’t be a complete vacation as Sebastian would still have to answer any call. Still, Reylin wanted to see how it would look to live together with a woman.

Since Aria sacrificed her full time to the Faynom World, it wasn’t a bad idea.

Reylin would just make occasional breaks from time to time to spend some time in real life.

Aria listened to his idea, and she replied, “We can’t neglect real life.” 

She felt a little wrong to separate immediately after their meeting, so Aria didn’t even think of refusing Reylin. Inwardly, that idea didn’t sound that bad as both of them worked in the game and spent time in different lands for most of their time.

“But I feel like we should play it differently,” Aria smirked, “You will come to my house should I clean the base first.”

“I take that challenge,” Reylin replied with the same smile, then turned to Sin White.

Aria’s brother greeted Reylin casually, then passed the information about the bases he had found so far.

At the same time, Aria began organizing her people to ensure everything would go their way.

She made a team that would assist Reylin, leaving him with many fire mages!

Not only that, but Aria also prepared people to keep their eyes on their surroundings should those bastards try to run away! She covered everything with her guild members and drilled a well-rounded team for herself, Vis, and Reylin.

Vis came slightly later and casually approached Reylin, “I saw a concert live. Have you finally revealed your background to the hero?”

“William did,” Reylin still had a bad taste about it, but he found a clue from this revelation.

He wasn’t in that bad mood, and that was what William and their parents wished for! They wanted Reylin to slowly reveal himself as the Crown.

Vis saw that Reylin wasn’t that much bothered about it, “She has struck gold with this concert. Didn’t William say that he would help her province and level up here for his own adventure? People will keep flowing in.”

“That’s because I told Maya to call him senior a few times,” Reylin closed his eyes.

Vis tilted his head, “What?” He didn’t understand that line, but Reylin, sighing, somewhat explained it.

Vis brought his face closer, “Did you tell him about your relationship with the Elder Sister?”

“You don’t have to be worried about it,” Reylin glanced at Vis.

It was pretty cute how he was worried the most about that relationship.

“He supports us, but even if he somehow ended up not liking it, I wouldn’t care about his opinion. The same goes for your family, but it seems like your brother is kinda on my side.” Reylin shifted his eyes to Sin White.

Sin White chuckled, “Is there a reason to oppose a good in-law?”

Vis chimed in, “You want to test your skills, don’t you?”

“That too,” Sin White lifted his chin as he replied.

Reylin found an excellent connection with Aria’s brothers, and they casually talked while she did her job.

Even if Reylin didn’t talk with them, he still would’ve disappeared in the background.

Aria had her own presence around herself that rivaled Crown Bloodline. It was evident as she went around her people and checked on them while organizing people through chat.

Reylin didn’t mind disappearing like that.

On the contrary, he felt like destroying a base already to have her in his house. That became what Reylin looked forward to the most right now.

At last, Reylin left white-haired siblings.

“Anyone has a problem with me being a leader?” Reylin asked Common Supreme’s guild members, and they all shook their heads.
