“Huh? It jumped on you from behind?”
“Yes. I fell conscious after that. Anyway, how did you see it chewing on my leg? What kind of monster is it?”
Despite not being afraid of anything, Sabrina’s voice trembled when she recalled what had happened.
Sasha fell silent as she didn’t have an answer too. After all, she too had fainted out of fear.
From what Sabrina is saying, she must have been the one who dropped the birth certificates on the floor.
In that case, what is that monster? It was relatively big. So why did no one ever notice its existence?
Although she was baffled by it, she had no time to dwell on the question.
After all, she needed to log into the game and find Sebastian.
“Overlord? My oh my. With a handle like that, it’s as if he is worried that no one knows his identity.”
“Who are you talking about?”
Lance suddenly turned around and asked when he saw Sasha’s eyes glued to the computer.
Regaining her senses, Sasha waved him away as it was none of his business.
However, when she finally found Overlord, she was stunned.
Damn it, he is such a high-level player while I’m just a newbie. How am I going to hook up with him? Hell, he might not even be bothered with me at all.
Sasha was on the brink of tears.
Lance called out, “Sha?”
Finally, Sasha had no choice but to turn to him for advice. “Lennie, I have a question. When playing games, how do newbies hook up with elite player?”
“What?”
What kind of question is that?
Why is she asking about games all of a sudden?
After pondering a moment, he took out his phone and sent Sebastian a message: Sebastian, are the both of you talking?
Sebastian: ?
Lance: Ever since Sha stepped into the office, she did nothing other than look up how to play games. She even asked me how a newbie links up with an elite player.
After a long silence, Sebastian replied: What’s her handle?
Under the pretext of asking Sasha a question, he sneaked a glance on her screen.
Lance: You won’t believe this… Pinky Pork
Sebastian: …
Unaware that both men were laughing at her expense, Sasha was still racking her brains on how to link up with an elite.
“You’re too new to the game. Usually, elites will just ignore you.”
“I know.” Sasha nodded in agreement. “That’s why I’m feeling frustrated.”
“Perhaps, you can pretend to be a fan.”
“Fan?”
“That’s right. Elite players have tons of fans who admire them. You can use this as an excuse to add him. Who knows, you might just get lucky.”
In the end, Lance cooked up an idea for her.
Sasha gulped.
Casually adding a fan?
How can he do that? Wouldn’t he have a lot of fans by now? Are they guys or girls?
Instead of being happy that she had a way to link up with him, Sasha became upset instead.
Nevertheless, she added him in the end.
When he approved her request to link up, she was shocked. After all, he was among the top players in the game.
This is too much. How can he agree to add a girl he doesn’t know this quickly?
Is it because he is really unhappy at home?
And that’s why he is trying to find solace here?
Sasha felt a sting in her heart.
“Sha, why are you so quiet all of a sudden? Aren’t you supposed to be happy that he has added you? What’s with the glum expression?”
“I have suddenly lost interest.”
“Huh?”
When he saw how her expression had changed drastically, Lance was bewildered.
Meanwhile, on the top floor of Palace Hotel, Sebastian ignored his friends who visited him from afar. Instead, he found a corner to focus on his game.
Staring at the newbie account that had just added him, Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows when he didn’t see any response.
Sebastian: What’s going on, why isn’t she doing anything?
Lance: She just asked me if she has become old and haggard.
Sebastian was stumped.
What is that silly woman thinking?
Unable to resist, Sebastian sent her a message.
Overlord: ?
Pinky Pork: Argh! Aaargh!
Sasha finally responded after hearing the notification sound generated by Sebastian’s message.
Damn it! This is so exciting. He has actually sent me a message!
Feeling reinvigorated, the dejection she felt earlier had disappeared.
Pinky Pork: Almighty Overlord, I’m a fan of yours who admire you a lot. *Heart*
Sebastian was speechless.
What a load of bull.
All Sasha got in reply from the almighty “Overlord” was an icy row of ellipsis.
Sasha was stumped in response.
It does fit his character though.
Contrary to what I’m thinking, perhaps he doesn’t randomly chat up others. Any ordinary person would be frightened away with a response like that.
Sasha’s mood began to improve.
