War Online

They reached the airport after 90 minutes.

Stepping out of the car, Wil commented, "Instead of a 15km ride, we traveled more than 60km, all because the shortest route has heavy traffic.

It turns out; even the road we came by didn't have any less traffic."

Silver and Aster apologized.

Wil didn't care about it much and entered the airport.

Silver gestured something to Aster with his eyes.

Nodding to Silver, Aster then said, "Young Master, can I shop around a bit?"

"Eh?" Wil looked at him in surprise.

Aster explained, "It's for my son. I swear it won't take a long time."

Before Wil gave the permission, Silver further added to support Aster, "Is it because of the duty-free stores?"

As Aster smiled with a hint of embarrassment, Wil sighed and nodded, "fine."

After Aster left, Silver then said, "how about we have some coffee while we wait."

"What about the pilot?"

Silver replied as he typing something on his mobile phone, "He's ready. I'm texting him to take a short nap. We have a long way to go, after all."

Along with the bodyguards, both of them walked towards one of the coffee shops.

As they were having coffee, Wil saw Silver kept glancing towards the direction of the exit and then at his mobile phone as if he was waiting for someone.

Just as Wil about to ask him, what's going on, he stood up, "Excuse me, Young Master. I have to call someone."

Wil didn't feel anything amiss and took a sip while concentrating on his mobile phone; meanwhile, Silver walked to the side and dialed a number.

The phone rang for a long time and received an automated message.

He called the number once again. The reply is the name.

Then, he called another number. Strangely, the reply is still the same even after calling another time.

Then, he proceeds to call a different number. The reply is still the same. No one is lifting the call.

The same with the next call too…

After four missed calls, his face hardened and panic developed in his heart and he dialed the number one last person.

This time, the call was picked up.

"He… Hello?"

"Hello, Reece… Where are you, right now?" Silver almost shouted as soon as the call was picked up. It attracted Wil's attention.

"Sir, *Cough*… The team… *Cough* The team is down…"

The person on the other side was having long breaths, having difficulty to breathe while coughing…

Wil saw Silver's legs started to shiver while his face flushed in anger, "What happened?"

The passengers and the staff around suddenly turned their attention towards him for a second.

"Who?" Silver roared.

Meanwhile, Wil frowned.

"Hello… Hello…" Silver clutched the phone with anger, "those mo***rf*****s…"

"What happened?" He asked.

Silver turned towards him and answered, "Lady Scarlet has been abducted. All the bodyguards I assigned for her are dead."

"Mom got kidnapped?" Wil stood up in shock.

Larnwick Kingdom, Xynnar Continent;

In the Newbie village 1123, Gynoid N12 handed 200 spider fangs to an NPC Blacksmith.

*Ding! You completed the quest and received 2300 exp.

*Ding! You level up.

*Ding! Your favorability with Heber reached Maximum.

"Thank you, adventurer." said the Blacksmith. "Do you want to become a Blacksmith and learn how to make weapons?"

Just when she was about to reject it, she received a notification.

*Ding! Grandmaster Heber wishes to accept you as his disciple. Your class won't be changed. Accept?

Since her class won't be changed, N12 didn't think much and accepted it.

"Disciple greets Master," She cupped her fists with a smile and then immediately frozen as a fraction of memory appeared in her mind.

She is on top of some cliff.

In front of them, there's an old man in his eighties, whom she was saying the same words to him, cupping her fists.

The memory quickly disappeared in a flash.

'What is this… Where is that place?' N12 went into a trance for a while before she was disturbed by the notifications.

*Ding. A second profession, Blacksmith has been added to your character.

*Ding! Congratulations on becoming the 18th player to unlock a second profession. You receive 100 fame points as a reward. 

"Good," The Blacksmith stroked his beard with a smile and then, said, "the wild zone isn't safe after the sunset. You can use that time to learn forging the equipment.

N12 nodded in agreement thinking it is a good idea since technically, according to Neo, the S-grade capsule can allow her to play for more than 60 hours continuously without any issue.

She was also trying to complete her mission as stated by Neo, although strangely, her body also doesn't remember any ancient techniques that Neo mentioned to her.

So, she decided to wait until Neo returns. In the meantime, she will play this game where the world around her seems so real.

Saying goodbye to the hidden grandmaster Blacksmith, she left for the Adventure association to get quests as she wasn't tied to any guild.

As soon as she stepped inside the association, she was stupefied and let out a curse…

"F**k that B***h… This place is called heaven for free players?"

During one time, she was partied up with a player to complete a quest.

The girl promised her, in exchange for the help N12 provided to her, she will tell a place where she can acquire a lot of quests and level up quickly.

But, when N12 saw reality, she realized that she had been conned. The Adventure Association was nothing like she imagined.

It was packed with dozens of players, competing against each other in grabbing the quest as soon as it was posted.

She felt she was in a department store with everyone was rushing here and there while the discounts are being announced.

Thankfully for her, the adventure association has a lot of quests to provide and a person was limited to have 10 quests at one time.

At the same time, Neo was captured in a white space, the same place where Wil was captured before.

She was suspended in the air, unable to move her body for 18 hours straight while Aria is rewriting her program in a way so that she can infiltrate the place that dares to create a clone of her without permission.

Well, if not for several fail-safes built in her, it would have taken only an hour.

Even though Neo is now a clone and is completely under the control of the Aria, the latter rewrote her program so that the newborn A.I. will not lose its sentience.

She didn't know that the data was stolen by one of the researchers from her own lab and handed it to the President in exchange for 5 Billion Dollars.

After a while, as the program is successfully finished, Aria, who is now connected to Neo, received several pieces of information about the research facility, the Federations involvement in the Battle Android plan and how are they achieving it, the prototype N12, a trusted colleague betraying her, etc…

The truth made her angry.

Aria's first instinct is to release everything on the internet but in the end, she stayed silent, thinking that it wasn't her place to meddle in human affairs.

After all, she was created for the sole purpose of running the game.
