《Game On!》Volume 2 - Chapter 1 - New Companions : part 5

ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬ Part 5 ▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ
The cold wind of the dawn that smears into the bare skin could be felt by Clarissa as she hugged her body while her lips teeth were clattering. After finishing the dungeon that we had went yesterday, we had set a new destination for their next adventure with our new companions in the adventure to liberate the human race.
Yoon Jae and Hye Yoon, who agreed to my offers after inviting them, sweet talked Hye Yoon, and sugar coat the advantage to Yoon Jae.
And Fabulouse,
Who we brought along as our ‘tour guide’…
My expectation was betrayed… I already knew that this game is so random. But never did I think that it would be so random to this extent. Level 50 dungeon Floor Boss, living like a shut-in, watching Idol concerts on a TV… Just thinking about it made me lose my motivation.
Fabulouse who said that he is tired being in the dark side wanted to change his alignment. Thus, he had made a contract with Clarissa. Fabulouse had now become the Familiar of Clarissa the Priestess. I guess, she really is a Miko as she was able to make a contract with the Supernatural.
I know that it’s too late for me to explain this but, anything that is not human is supernatural. Which is said, Beasts, Elf, Orc, Dwarf, and a lot more races that I’m too lazy to mention.
The thick fog was still covering the road that we travelled on, while Fabulouse walking in-front of us, we followed his lead without any complains. Clarissa had showed me the entire Einstel World map. From what I see, the journey to Nerufeim Continent won’t be a short one.
We are now at Esphalt. One of the largest Continents in Einstel world, contrary to its name, the road that we use now isn’t even tarred. Well, not that it really matters though; travelling on a slight bumpy ride is what makes the adventure feels really like adventure right?

While the travelling become somewhat sweet and fun when it was only me and Clarissa. The atmosphere had become a lot merrier with Yoon Jae, Hye Yoon and Fabulouse presence. For instance, Fabulouse, a dungeon Boss he might be, he does not have any sort of Boss character aura that could be felt.
Instead, he looked like just one of that chatter-box character in every manga and anime that you can find talking about random things.
“Do you know about the Faries?” Fabulouse said, initiating a conversation while tending his long hair.
“Faries?” Clarissa asked.
“You mean Fairy?” I added.
“No. Faries, not Fai but Far.” Fabulouse continued.
“I’m afraid I’ve never heard of it before.” Clarissa replied, she had her personal log book in her hand, ready to write down the information that Fabulouse about to say.
“I heard they are the close relative to Fairies. While Fairies are light alignment, Faries are the opposite of it. I don’t know why but during the Floor Boss association. I heard that Faries had recently gained a great influence in the Supernatural Round table.
I know that, it is not my place to talk about such things. But I am a floor boss too. While I may be a low rank boss, I am ought to hold some influence in the communities. But do you know what those Faries said when I stated out my opinion?
‘Side Character’ has no place to talk, you a lowly low level dungeon boss has no right to question the way we do our things!’
Side character my ass, I’m going to kick their asses when I become powerful enough.” Fabulouse said angrily.
Clarissa, without blinking wrote down the information that she got.
‘The supernatural has an organized association called the Supernatural Round Table.’

“Moreover, do you know what did they said when I told them that one day I’m going to be strong enough to kick their asses?”
“Er… No?” I replied.
Well, how can he expect us to know the thing that he hadn’t told us?
“They said, ‘Go back to your cave, a lowly underground boss want to reach the height of us Tower bosses is impudent enough!’. This is bad isn’t? I may be a low class Boss I still have my dignity as a BOSS!
Where am I going to put my face when my subordinates know that I hold no influence in the Supernatural Round Table!”
Big word coming from a Centaur that followed the people who killed his subordinates voluntarily.
“Anyway Master.” Fabulouse said and looked at Clarissa, “Can you stop your purifying aura from getting on me continuously? I’m getting cleansed here to ashes. I know that I’m still considered as an Impurity being a dungeon boss. But now I am your servant. Your wish is my command.
If you ask for it I would even wipe the floor clean and laid out the Red Carpet for you to step. I can be your Romeo when you want to be Juliet.”
That was so buttery that I don’t even know what to say. Apparently our Fabulouse here is an avid fan to makjang. (Korean Dramas). And he learned (?) all the sleazy line from there. I don’t know what to say, rather than an AI, Fabulouse looked more like a player to me.
“Ahh!! The feels better…” Fabulouse added.
To turn Fabulouse alignment from Dark to Light, apparently Clarissa needs to channel her to light alignment to Fabulouse. In another word, prestige transfer. Fabulouse has a negative 150 prestige, being a boss floor himself; he had quite the negative amount of prestige. Thus, Fabulouse need at least +1 prestige to become Light alignment.
I had suggested for him to do a quest and gain prestige through quests. But being a Dark alignment made people fear him. Instead of getting quests, he will get a flying kiss, on his neck, with a sword.
Clarissa cancelled her prestige transferring. She let out a breath of ease and turned her looks to me. “We will be going through a thick forest in less than 15 kilometers. The monsters average level is 75. But I don’t think there would be any problem with our current lineup... However, I ask of you…” Clarissa said and turned her attention towards Yoon Jae.
“Please take care of your body. The way you are fighting is good and flashy, but if you keep disregarding your defence, I don’t think I can hold up any longer. My mana isn’t infinite. There will be time when I’ll run out of mana and potion.” Clarissa added bluntly.
Hye Yoon smirking mockingly towards Yoon Jae. Yoon Jae on the other hand got his face become red beet and only nodded in acknowledgement of Clarissa advice.
Thus, the adventure of 4 players and 1 AI had started.

Alas chapter 1 vol 2 had finished. It was actually a 40 pages long, but I decided to split it into parts as it would be hard for me to fix the post when VincentAtd gives his correction :D
Also, as I'm going to increase the pace of the story. Expect a cluster of unexplained things and a lot of 'crap'.
Tried to create some riddle, and my brain froze for a few hours.

Wanting to start over, he intends to take on the duty of handling these pressures as a means to make his life worth living.Even if it may break him, even if Hyperion lives a life far worse than the one before, at least he'll know, as the martyr he is at heart, that his sacrifice helped others while also unaware that others are willing to do the opposite if there's even a small chance that it could help him.
