The guy was very tired of the incidents that forced him to fight for his life time after time. Lately the hero had been spending less and less time in reality, and it had begun to remind him of itself. Although the young man had earned a lot of money, he was in no hurry to buy a new home for the whole family.
First, Jake wanted to provide for his relatives for the rest of their lives, and then confess. Romero returned to reality only because he heard an important call on the phone. Ila had been a good friend of Jake's since childhood, and she had very strange mannerisms. In this situation the guy was embarrassed, because the girl called him right from the bathroom.
The whole point was that after the world changed, Ila received one of the highest ranks. She spent all her days training, so she could only talk during short breaks, and so Romero had to put up with the strange antics of his friend, who missed him. They wouldn't be able to see each other for several more years, as her family had sent Ila to explore space.
With her abilities, she easily survived in such an environment. Although ordinary people would have already died, sometimes the hero missed the times when his girlfriend lived without any special skills. But if it weren't for Ila's rich life, Jake would never have received a helmet for the game from her as a gift. True, that world raised too many questions for the young man, because the characters knew about his illness.
This information greatly interested the girl, who had not yet entered the game herself. Ila had heard a little about how this world was once thought to be inhabited by living beings. So she believed that all the NPCs actually lived in another reality. It turned out that Lunali was using the game as a portal to communicate with people who lived on another planet.
This explained a lot to the hero, because the mentor's behavior was truly too lively. Initially, Ila had just wanted to lift the spirits of her friend who was slowly dying in poverty. The girl couldn't help him in any way, but she didn't want Jake to give up prematurely. Her plan worked brilliantly, because now Romero had a real meaning in life.
So the guy had to endure all the antics of Ila, who was not embarrassed about anything. Their conversation might have ended peacefully if Lorie had not suddenly entered the room. The little sister simply brought a package for her brother, but ended up catching him at the worst possible moment. Only Ila was not embarrassed in this situation, since she did not care about the opinions of others.
But Jake blushed from head to toe, because he had previously hidden his girlfriend from the whole family. The girl only made the situation worse when she deliberately greeted his sister in a sweet way. The guy didn't manage to turn off the call with Ila in time, who liked to get on others' nerves. As a result, Lorie was in such great shock, because she didn't know about her brother's friends.
It was only by a miracle that the hero managed to keep his little sister in the room, so that she wouldn't tell her mother anything. As a result, the girl became very interested in the helmet that Ila had recently given to her friend. Jake still didn't want to tell his parents anything, because they would worry about his health.
Of course, Lorie would also like to experience the sensations of that world that was similar to reality. But Romero couldn't share the helmet, because it was only tied to one player. Unlike her older brother, his sister was well-informed about the latest expensive things. And this helmet alone could cost as much as several apartments in the most elite area of their planet.
This is because it conveyed all the feelings to the fullest and completely immersed the players in the game. As a result, Lorie was so loud with joy that Sam came into the room while they were talking. The middle brother always tried to protect the younger one, and this often saddened Jake. But finally he could perform all the functions of an adult, since he shared the money with the younger ones.
Neither Lorie nor Sam expected that even in this state Romero would find a way to make money. They were incredibly grateful to the eldest for the fact that he did not give up because of his illness. Now the younger ones could join Jake in the game, although they would have to rent such helmets. But their joy still knew no bounds, because the family rarely did anything together.
The hero had just the opportunity to earn a few good tokens for his relatives, but he was too embarrassed to tell them what kind of player he really was. It turned out that Lorie was well aware of the latest rumors from the new game world. Everyone around admired the invincible player who hid his identity in the game.
Jake couldn't even imagine that in just a couple of days he would gain such enormous popularity. The girl dreamed of at least catching a glimpse of the man who was so strong and fast. Lorie might have chatted about trivialities for a long time if Sam had not taken her along with him. But the hero had no intention of resting, as he still had many important things to do in the game.
The boy was afraid that he might die soon, because the medications only helped with the pain. That's why he was so eager to play a game that allowed him to earn money for reality. This time the young man's attention was drawn to the unusual crowd of people at the main gate. Jake tried not to miss any new information about quests in this game world.
It turned out that many dreamed of becoming students of Ms. Angela, who was a non-player character. For this reason the players did not move away from the gate, in the hope that they would be able to see her. But even the hero was unable to pass the tests that the lady had planned. However, the guys did not despair so quickly, because they still had hope for the strongest player.
Jake had no idea that rumors of his exploits were spreading so quickly throughout the game. The guy was only defending himself and his friends, while others already wanted to see him in the role of a master. Only a few players, out of envy, did not recognize the achievements of that brave and confident guy. Romero knew it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed by those girls.
So he needed to secretly find out as much information as possible before he was noticed. Until this moment Jake had never heard of Angela, but she was famous in the gaming world. The whole point was that the girl personally developed each of the magic potions. This is why the players were so eager to become her apprentices, so they could prepare everything themselves.
The idea was so tempting that players were willing to stand for hours near the entrance. They just tried not to make any noise, so as not to attract the attention of a very strong guard. But the protector, Kaia, soon noticed the crowd, which was clearly preventing her mistress from concentrating. Only the hero immediately noticed how high a level this inconspicuous creature had.
