Chapter 633: Misunderstanding [1]
After the game ended, Jester opened his eyes in confusion.
For some reason, he felt the session hadn’t truly ended. It didn’t feel like the task had been completed, yet he had no proof. Since there was nothing concrete to go on, he decided to stop thinking about it and stepped out of the game pod.
A smile formed on his face as he stretched his limbs. Even though everything inside the game was fake, the sensations had felt so real that he couldn’t help but enjoy it. For a moment, he felt proud of himself for convincing his master to get the game pods.
Even if they weren’t meant for games, the pods could serve as the perfect training tool. With them, he could create a personal simulation room to test his skills safely, without the need for caution that reality demanded.
As Jester thought about this, he noticed Lily emerging from her pod. She stepped out slowly, an odd expression on her face as her eyes darted toward him.
It was her first experience with something like this, and the strange, vivid events she had witnessed inside the simulation still lingered in her mind. She couldn’t shake the unease.
It was said that the actions taken in the game, especially those involving supernatural abilities, could sometimes translate into real life.
If that were true, then what Jester had done—draining the life from another character until it became an empty husk—might not have been just a game mechanic.
A chill ran through her. She looked at Jester again. His calm smile only made her heart beat faster.
But then she exhaled softly. After all, he was her brother’s undead. Someone connected to a necromancer couldn’t exactly be called normal, could they?
Then again, seeing how innocent Jester looked and how he always acted, not even willing to see a struggling elder walk with difficulty, he couldn’t be evil right?
Jester noticed the strange look on Lily’s face almost immediately.
