Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 189: Burndead!

Midnight.

Inside flat number 19, on the second floor of the S class dorm. A white-haired boy was deep in sleep. However, he had an uncomfortable expression on his face, and he was sleep-talking.

"No... let her go..."

"My Mom is... not a liar..."

He was experiencing a nightmare, or maybe a memory of his past. Whatever it was, it made him drenched in cold sweat.

"NO! STOP IT!" He screamed, sitting up straight. His eyes open wide.

*Hah*

*Hah* (Panting Sounds.)

It took a moment for him to realize that everything was a dream. He hung his head low and covered his face with his both hands.

"That dream again..."

He knew it would be another sleepless night for him.

***

The next morning.

Luis woke up in Alicia's embrace welcoming a beautiful new day. Though reluctant to leave her side, he had to get up for his morning run.

In the last few days, Luis had been doing his morning runs under 9 times gravitational pressure. Because of this, he received a lot of encouragement from Olav. As he only had kind intentions toward him, Luis didn't feel bad about his strange way of encouraging him.

While changing into a tracksuit, he asked. "Lily, did something happen last night?"

Lily's hologram appeared in front of him, and she was wearing cute pajamas. {Alex had another nightmare, and the duo are still observing from a distance wider than before.}

"I see. It seems they are still planning to act at the time of the month-end examination." Luis mumbles with a thoughtful expression. "What about Sera?"

{She has called some of her family guards and they are now staying in a hotel in the Academy City.} As she said that, Lily also projected a hologram screen that displayed the hotel's name, location, and the details of the people she called for.

"Two B-Rank and one C-Rank. Just enough to deal with the month-end incident." Luis smirked in amusement. "There's no way it can be a coincidence, right?"

{Master, from the analysis, the possibility of her being aware of the incident you are talking about is only 0.7%, so it's a 97% certainty that it's a coincidence.}

"Hmm, is that so? I won't be too sure about that."

{What do you mean, Master?}

"What I am saying is. This time, your analysis seems to be incorrect." Luis said with a soft chuckle.

{How can that be?} Lily became stunned. {Does she also have a future predicting ability like Master?}

"I don't have such ability."

{I know! Master is Omnipotent!} Lily said with a cheerful smile.

In response to her praise, Luis simply shook his head with a faint smile, "No, I don't possess such abilities." His eyes narrowed, and he added, "As for whether Sera has a future predicting ability or not. We will find out soon."

He turned to look in the direction of Ivy's bed.

"Ivy let's go. I am going for the run."

*Kyu~*

The furry Moon Fox rushed up to him and jumped. She sat on his shoulder, wrapping her tail around his neck.

"Hey..." Luis sighed with a helpless expression. "You know, Lily. Instead of just sitting on my shoulder every day. Why not try running along with me?"

*Kyu* Ivy's face was close to Luis's. As she looked at him with her cute big eyes.

Luis' expression deepened. "Don't tell me Alicia is teaching you her Charm Attack." He scoffed. "Don't think such a trick would work on me. Alicia is an exception because she has mastered it, but you are just a newbie." He said with a proud expression.

Ivy stared at him for a few seconds, then turned her head away, ignoring him.

"... Lily, how long will Ivy's infancy period will continue? Can't we start her training?"

Ivy's ears perked as she brought her attention back to him.

{Another month before her infancy period ends and she can start her real training. However, even now it's fine for her to do some light exercises.}

"Hmm, you have sent Alicia her training manual, right?"

{Yes, I have also collected some additional material that I show her later.}

"Hmm, good." He nodded in satisfaction and left his flat.

***

Another day went by. Both Luis and Alicia were busy with their classes and the ranking matches. They have crossed their 90+ consecutive wins and are slowly approaching their target of 100.

Both were Level 3 now and their performance had made quite a stir among the students who challenge the ranking matches regularly.

In the last few matches, Luis has also used his lightning element. So, people were already aware of his identity. Alicia had been using her Ice element from the very start, so the people knew her identity early on.

After knowing that the two newbies were the strongest students among the first-year students. Many second and third-year students wanted to try out their strengths against them.

This is the reason many high-level students also challenged the ranking matches and ended up competing against them.

Despite all this, the two of them maintained their winning streak and finished all the matches, taking time less than one minute.

***

Luis had started his 95th match, and the opponent matched against him this time had a higher level compared to all his previous opponents.

[Avatar Name: Silver Knight]

[Level: 09]

[Win Rate: 88.6%]

[Consecutive Wins: 59]

Just like his name, the opponent was also wearing a Silver Armor covering his entire body, and he held a double-edged sword in his hand. The battlefield in this match was a desert.

The Silver Knight donned in gleaming armour, approached Luis amid the countdown for their impending match.

"The God of Charm, what an interesting Avatar name you have chosen."

"Just gave it at random. All the other names I wanted were already taken." Luis replied with a sigh. While also curious about the identity of his opponent.

"Ah!" The Silver Knight exclaimed, nodding in understanding. "I also experienced the same this at the time of my Avatar Creations. Apparently, they keep the avatars and accounts of the graduated students. That is why many common names are taken."

"Is that so?" Luis' tone had a hint of surprise. As this information was new to him. 'I wonder why they would do that.'

While Luis was thinking, the Silver Knight continued speaking.

"It seems I misunderstood you before. When I saw your avatar's name, I thought you were a narcissist. But only now did I understand that you had to choose that name because all the other names you chose were already taken. I apologize for that."

To show his sincerity, he also bowed a little.

In his heart, Luis was surprised that people could mistake him for such a person. However, after hearing his sincere words, he wasn't offended. He waved his hand with a smile and said generously.

"You don't have to apologize. Anyone would have made such an assumption. Besides, you just thought about it and didn't mock me. So, it's all good."

After hearing his words of understanding. Silver Knight became even more sure that Luis wasn't such a person.

'What a great person. He is a top student among all his peers, but he isn't an arrogant prude like the top students from previous years. His words and body actions are confident, and he doesn't look down on others. I severely misunderstood him because of his avatar's name.'

"The God of Charm... No! Can I call you Luis?"

"Of course, only if you don't mind telling me your identity."

"I don't mind. My name is Michael Burndead. A second year ranked 16th. From the Burndead Clan of the Aiverson Empire." Michael revealed his identity with a calm expression and, just like he expected, he indeed saw a surprised look on Luis' face.

"Burndead Clan? Isn't that..." Luis couldn't complete his words as Michael spoke on his behalf while nodding.

"Yes, it's the same one you are thinking about. The members of that clan are popular for the art of necromancy and the users of Ghost Energy." His tone was flat as he said all that.

Luis wanted to ask some more questions, but the match was about to start. "Let's have a long talk another day."

"Yeah, I, too, look forward to our match. Luis." Michael said with a faint smile, which was half covered in his helmet. Then he shouted in a deep voice. "May the best warrior triumph!"

As the countdown neared its end, the two challengers readied themselves for the imminent showdown.

[Match Begins!]
