Child of Destiny

Real World, Eastern Sea Region, Ace City

Arthur was currently at the terrace of the second floor of their house, enjoying the cold breeze of the night while staring at the starry sky.

A few moments later, Leonard walked from the house and sat the chair beside Arthur before saying. "Try to relax? It is quite rare for you to not play the game during your free time."

"I played a little earlier. But the update is quite disappointing so far," replied Arthur in a nonchalant manner. And after a brief moment of pause, he added. "Aside from the improved playstyle for both PvE and PvP battles, the other update is not much helpful for players on our level."

"The monster drops and EXP that they gave us are slightly improved, but it is still not enough. Though, the daily quests released by the Adventurer Guild are not that bad. At least, we can now have a stable source of EXP."

Leonard leaned his back a little to have a more comfortable position before asking. "So, you are quite lazy to play the game for the time being, huh?"

Arthur smirked a little before answering. "Well, I speedrun all of the quest available for me, so there is nothing that can pique my interest for now."

"Then, why not help Shin Bro at the Blind Abyss Empire? I heard he is creating quite a mess in there. He even challenged Immortal on an Official Duel," said Leonard as he laid his back on the chair a little more to have a more relaxing position.

"I actually want to head in there too. That guy is really an expert at creating trouble wherever he goes," said Arthur.

Leonard couldn't help but chuckle a little after hearing that. "That is 'huge' coming from you."

Arthur shrugged his shoulders and continued. "Well, unfortunately, we can't go in there to share the fun."

"Why do you think that idiot did not ask for some assistance? Of course, it is because he is afraid to blow up his cover. After all, it is the same as declaring that the Nameless Swordsman and Sickarius is the same individual if we really head there now."

"The others may overlook it, but Big Sis will surely not be going to miss such a 'minor' detail. So, it is better for us to behave for the time being and observe how the situation is going to develop."

"Moreover, it is still not too late to head there if everything really goes out of hand," he added while adjusting to a more comfortable position.

Hearing that, Leonard nodded his head and turned silent for a moment before saying. "But what do you think about the Challenge? It is quite unexpected for Immortal to choose such a disadvantageous mode for an important battle. I wonder what happened."

Arthur started chuckling before replying. "Well, I am pretty sure that it is Shin's doing."

"We forgot to tell him about the hidden features of the 'Godly Challenge Rights' since there are a lot of things that happened recently. But whatever it is, I can reassure you that Shin did something that forced Immortal to choose the 'Default Mode'."

He then wore a wide grin with his lips before continuing. "And since he managed to do it, his odds for this duel rose up a little. At least, he now has the chance of winning."

Leonard nodded his head repeatedly before adding to his words. "Yeah. After all, the Awakening Skills of Necromancer Class are quite troublesome to deal with – especially the 'Enhanced Summoning' and similar skills."

After that, he turned his head at Arthur before saying. "Anyway, are you going to watch the match? Given the reputation of the two, I am pretty sure that it is going to be broadcasted by a lot of entertainment industries."

Arthur shrugged his shoulders a little before answering. "Well, I am too lazy to go online. Maybe I'll just watch the broadcast here. The broadcast on the True Sight Industries channel is not that bad – I guess I'll watch the duel through them."

Leonard pursed his lips a little before nodding his head repeatedly while saying. "Then I guess, I'll also watch it here with you."

After that, Arthur tapped his Advance Watch a couple of times to open a virtual screen in front of them. He then headed to the personal channel of the True Sight Industries before waiting for the broadcast to start.

But since there was still a lot of time before the duel started, Arthur chose to browse for other trending topics for the time being. And while browsing, he suddenly remembered something and immediately opened another virtual screen before searching for a couple of websites.

Seeing that, Leonard knitted his eyebrows for a moment before asking. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for some websites," replied Arthur nonchalantly.

Hearing that, Leonard rolled his eyes at him and said sarcastically. "Yeah, right, smartass! It is quite obvious and I can also see it! What I am asking is why are you searching for those sites. Don't tell me, you are not interested in creating your own website?"

Arthur ignored what he said and just asked. "Hey, how much do you think these guys are earning by uploading these videos?"

The corner of Leonard's mouth suddenly twitched when he heard that before saying. "So, you are really planning to create your own channel?"

At this point, Arthur finally turned his head at Leonard while saying in an excited tone. "No, I am not only planning to create my channel but an official website for our Adventurer Team where each of us can have our own channel."

He then paused for a couple of moments before opening a few videos which were showing a couple of battles. Those videos seemed to be the teaser of each channel.

After that, Arthur looked at Leonard before looking at Leonard with sparkling eyes. "See these? These videos are quite good! We can also create such videos which are going to blow the minds of every person who is going to watch them."

Leonard slapped his forehead when he saw that and shook his head helplessly. 'This showoff, can he just a little be honest.'

Seeing that, Arthur sat up straight before saying. "Come on! It is a good idea, isn't it? We can earn extra money just by posting a few videos here – it is not much different on blogging or sort."

Leonard released a bitter laugh after hearing that before saying. "Then why not create your own channel and post your own videos there?"

Arthur clicked his tongue before 'justifying' his thought. "Tsk! It is boring if I am the only one there. Isn't it better if we post our videos on the same website? That way, we can have more viewers."

"Imagine, both of us are famous Godlike Players who have a lot of fans out there. So, if we combine all of them by posting on the same website, then we are going to have an even larger number of audiences. And after that, the money is just going to flow naturally."

Leonard was swayed for a moment when he heard that but immediately shook that idea off his mind when he realized that something. He looked at Arthur with a huge frown on his face before asking. "Creating that kind of website is one thing but who is going to manage it when it is done?"

Arthur stopped working for a moment when he heard that and stared blankly at Leonard when he realized such a problem.

After a few moments of silence, he suddenly started grinning evilly before saying. "Heh! Who else? There is only a single person who can do such a thing between the three of us, right?"

Leonard frowned his eyebrows a little when he heard that. Then he turned silent for a moment and moved his eyes between Arthur and opened websites.

After that, he started grinning alongside Arthur which led the two of them to start laughing quite loudly. And when they were done, they immediately started discussing the details about the website that they were going to make.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the True Sight Industries, everyone seemed to be too busy preparing for the broadcast that they were going to make.

But at the same time, they were also having a huge problem with the host that they chose to cover the duel.

"Ms. Bunny, don't play hard to get now, shall we? This is the Angel of Death and Lich God we are talking about. Didn't you like to cover his battles all the time? You even edited quite a few of his battle videos and posted it on your personal channel."

The head manager was having a hard time persuading Ms. Bunny to cover the said fight between Shin and Immortal. But no matter how hard he tried, all he got were immediate rejection.

"Hmph! I already told you, I am really busy right now and have no time to host that duel. Why not offer it to the other hosts you have there? Aren't you eager to give them quite a few projects? This is the right time to do it."

After saying that, Miss Bunny slammed the table and stood up before leaving the office. "If that is all you want to say, then I need to go now. I still have an appointment."

She then walked out of the room and left the head manager who was now having the hardest time of his life.

"Tch! Such a boot-lick fogey. I repeatedly told them to feature the Nameless Swordsman in a few of our shows yet they keep on rejecting me by saying that he is just a rising star who recently earned a little bit of fame."

"But now that a huge event occurred, they are now asking me to cover it? In their dreams! Do they think that I am a pushover? I will never help them build up the hype as they take all of the benefits later."

As she was walking out of the company, her Advance Watch suddenly rang which indicated that she just got a message. "Huh?"

Opening her Advance Watch, she immediately saw that it came from her email. And when she took a look at it, she was suddenly stunned after seeing that the message came from Siegfried's official email.

"Eh!? The Dragon God, Siegfried?" she was quite confused at why she got a message from him. So, she suddenly became curious and immediately opened the message.

Then she suddenly became even more stunned after reading the content of the message. She was unable to move nor talk for quite some time before she could process everything that she just read. And when she recovered herself, she turned head left and right to make sure that no one was around.

After that, she immediately ran towards her car while wearing an overjoyed look on her face. "This is it! This might be the biggest break of my life!"
