Listening to my words, Aba had a betrayed expression on her face and asked, “What do you mean? How can you block me from entering the VR City, when I have a VR card?”
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm “You don’t need to know the details, all you need to know is that the VR card will take you to the entrance of the VR-City, as for your entry to the VR-City,” giving a dramatic pause I announced, “That depends on me, the creator and ruler of the VR-Universe.”
The women in the room looked at the boy in disbelief, especially Ann, a crazy thought crossed her mind listening to him declare as the ruler of the VR-City.
“VR-Universe? I noticed that the VR-City is mentioned as VR-Universe in the VR-Slime card, is that the name of your VR-City?” Agatha asked while Ann was still lost in her thoughts and Aba was too mad at the boy to care about the small or so she thought. Being addicted to virtual reality she forgot her anger and raised her ears to hear the boy’s response. As she wanted to learn what new changes the boy had brought to the VR-City.
“Kind of but the word universe has its meaning,” I said vaguely.
“So, what does the universe mean?” Aba asked eagerly.
Seeing the boy was reluctant to explain the meaning of the word Universe Agatha let it go but Aba did not. As a fan of virtual reality, she loved to know even a tiny detail about it no matter how insignificant.
Seeing the keen crazed look in Aba’s eyes, I sighed and explained, “You know that there are myriad realms apart from ours right?”
Aba nodded her head vigorously, seeing this with a smile I finished, “The space encompassing these myriad realms is what I call the universe.”
“Wait, if the VR-City was just an illusionary city then the VR-Universe, is it an illusionary universe encompassing myriad illusionary realms?” Aria asked in disbelief.
Listening to Aria’s question Agatha, Aba, and Laura looked at the boy with anticipation for his answer. Ann, however, stared at him, feeling the crazy thought that crossed her mind earlier might not be crazy enough compared to what the boy had in mind. He did not just plan to become the ruler of an illusionary city but the ruler of myriad illusionary realms.
I did not immediately reply to Aria, instead let out a mysterious smile and said, “You and out once you explore the VR-Universe and won’t you?”
“Quit acting mysterious and speaking in riddles. Just answer her question like a normal person,” Aba yelled in frustration. She paid her entire attention to the boy to listen to what he had to say about VR-Universe but he spoke a lot of words but in the end revealed nothing. Not getting satisfaction she had no choice but to yell at him in irritation.
“Aba, you need to calm down. You are showing signs of addiction to VR. Which is bad for you since eventually, you may abandon your real life and only live in virtual reality. So for now, I am banning you from the VR Universe and when I feel that you are prepared for it I will lift your ban,” I did not forget the main point of this argument.
“So what if I prefer the VR life over reality? Why do you care? It’s my choice,” Aba snapped at me. I ignored her rudeness as the signs of withdrawal from her addiction to VR.
I looked at Aba with a determined gaze, though Aba did not mean what she said she was right, why did I care if Aba got addicted to VR?
Aba was the soon-to-be hero of this world and according to the future vision of Clown Mask, by now she should have started climbing the steps of greatness. But thanks to my presence she was on the verge of becoming an addict.
I did not need a hero to save me, I could take care of myself. But this world needed a hero and I did not want that mantle. I felt gratitude toward this world for a lot of things so I did not mind saving it but I did not want to be its nanny because my end goal was to achieve a chill life. Which meant no responsibilities. That was where Aba came into the picture. She had to become the nanny *ahem* hero of this world for me t9 achieve my end goal.
This was why I cared so much about Aba getting addicted to VR. Just as I was about to speak, Agatha came forward and made an excuse explaining Aba’s rudeness, “Princess, Wyatt is your friend, he has every right to care for you. Wyatt, please don’t take her words seriously, she did not mean what she said.”
“I know,” I said giving Agatha a gentle nod, and with a kind smile I walked in front of Aba and proposed a compromise, “Aba, I will allow you to enter the VR-Universe under one condition.”
“What is it?” Aba asked immediately. As long as she gets to explore the all-new VR Universe she doesn’t mind rewarding its creator.
“I will allow you to spend 12 hours per day in the VR Universe. Out of those 12 hours, you will have to spend 8 hours learning martial arts in the VR universe, and for the remaining 4 hours you can explore the VR Universe. Do not try to negotiate, this is the only way I will give you entry to the VR Universe. Take it or leave it,” I made sure to clarify to Aba that I was not negotiating with Aba. If she wanted to enter my VR Universe she had to follow my conditions or else she could have her daddy or use his money to create a new VR Universe just for her.
