The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

AFTER Luo Yan's tutoring lessons, he immediately logged in at Arcadia.  He appeared at the place where he logged out yesterday.  Just outside the Origin Village.  He landed on the branch of the same tree where he was standing the last time.  He sat comfortably and opened his Status Window.  

Today, he planned to play for two hours and then play again for another two hours after dinner.  He would go to the Northern area of the Crescent Woodlands first.  It was a long distance from here to there so two hours would probably be not enough.  Especially since he would definitely encounter a lot of monsters along the way.  It's fine if he didn't manage to finish it today, he'd just finish it tomorrow.  It's not like he lacked time or anything.  

After killing 30 Blights and finding out and destroying their source, he would then search for Filli - the subject of his hidden task.  He probably needed to talk to the Gatekeeper again and probably some NPCs at the village so he could find clues as to where Filli was.  

But before starting to do all that, he needed to add Luo Jin first to his friend list.  He clicked on his System Tab and chose the Friend List option.  There was a search bar inside where players could type the game account name of the players they wanted to add.  He typed the word [AmazingYoungMasterJin] inside the search bar.  

Luo Yan couldn't help but laugh while looking at Luo Jin's account name.  Seriously, he didn't know if Luo Jin just didn't have any naming sense or he just simply gave up and typed the first thing that came to his mind.  After a while, Luo Jin's account profile appeared on the screen with a [+] button at the right side of his account name.  He clicked the [+] button and added a message as well.  Then he looked at the picture of Luo Jin's game avatar which was on the left side of his account profile.

When he saw it, he laughed even harder.

Luo Jin appeared at the same small room, standing in front of a mirror hanging on the wall.  When he looked at his reflection in the mirror, what stared back at him was his seven year old face.  With some additions that the blasted game made.  

His hair was still black but the tips of each strands now had a reddish hue.  His ears became pointed.  And his eyes looked like a pair of red rubies.  There were rune like lines on both his arms and legs.  He could see it clearly because he was only wearing a simple white shirt, black shorts, and brown boots.   

The delicate face staring back at him frowned in displeasure.  When he first saw what he currently looked like in this game, he was so annoyed that he immediately logged out.  He didn't even bother to check anything.  He decided that he would definitely create a new account and just forget about this embarrassing experience.  But after his talk with his second brother, he changed his mind.

Luo Jin didn't want Luo Yan to think that he was so petty to the point that he would buy a new VR helmet just because things didn't go the way he wanted.  So he would grit his teeth and endure this humialiation.  So what if he looked like this?  It's not like he would have to announce to everyone he knew that he became like this in this blasted game.  

Though seriously, if he knew this would be the result of that damn random selection, he would rather choose the Beastkin option at the very beginning.  But things already happened.  There's no use crying over spilled milk.

He turned around, no longer wanted to look at his reflection.  Then he suddenly heard a bell-like sound.  After that, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.  

[The player [Noctis] wanted to be your friend.]

There were two choices below that; [Confirm] and [Reject].  Luo Jin remembered that his second brother told him yesterday that he would send him a friend invite when he played the game today.  And since he was the only one who knew that he was playing this game, then this [Noctis] was definitely Luo Yan.  

Looking at this account name, he couldn't help but sulk.  How come his second brother could think of such a cool account name?  But he still pressed the [Confirm] option.  When he did, a message appeared on his Chat.

[Ah Jin!  This is your second brother.  Don't forget to level up so you could leave your game avatar's Origin Village.  PS. Try to talk to every NPC at your village.  I did that and I triggered a hidden event.  I heard hidden events often give cool rewards.  You might also trigger one if you do.  Good luck!]

Luo Jin barely read the message because his attention was attracted to the picture of his brother's game avatar.  It was a beautiful teenager with pure white hair and a pair of blue eyes with golden specks inside.  It was the face of his second brother.  Only more mature and more magical.

His grievances just doubled when he saw that.  How come Luo Yan got to be cool while he, on the other hand, got this?  He sighed, replied to his brother with an 'okay', then finally checked his Character Tab.   

Name: AmazingYoungMasterJin

Race: Chaos Gnome (Special)

Class: -----

Level: 1

Current Location: Origin Village

Luo Jin's gaze immediately locked on his race, especially on the word 'Special'.  

When he saw his appearance, he already had a feeling that he ended up with the gnome race.   That's the only reason he could think of why he ended up like this even though he didn't do any modification to his appearance.  But why would there be a 'chaos' word attached to the gnome?  And what's with the 'special' thing?  

He shook his head and decided not to think about it for the time being.  Right now, he'd go out and try to level up.  And then talk to the NPCs just like his second brother suggested.

With that decision in mind, Luo Jin finally walked out of the small room.
