« Hey, old pal ! We are here to report the achievement of the quests you gave us.”
We took him out of his sleep once more.
“Mh? Oh, nice! Tell me everything…”
…
“Mal Tharek? Yes, it’s seems possible… but who is he?”
“That, we don’t know!”
“Well, let’s begin by giving you your rewards

“Well, my job is nearly over… to continue the tutorial, you can go to Komyshany town, and find the instructor there. It’s Elongoic, who is not far from the Necros altar. You will recognize her easily as she has a purple robe and is pale as a shroud. She will tell you more on Mal Tharek.
“Oh, as I am at it, you met Pruurg, our village weaver. He can also give you quests. Good luck!”
“Thanks old pal!”
“Let’s go to Komyshany!”
“It’s time to disconnect. A little scan, and it’s over for today.”

The lake reflects my face… perfect.

“Well, it was so cool to play together, Jean Bondepays. Let’s play again tomorrow?”
“Yes, and we’ll go out of this small village to visit the town a little bit further. We’ll reappear at the Necros Altar, it’s our teleportation beacon right now”
“OK, see you!”
“Ciao!”
Disconnection
***
“Aunty? What are you doing here?”
“You could at least escort him!”
“Hey, ho! I know when he goes in the machine, I don’t know when he goes out! And… he seemed to have so much fun!”
Mummy and aunty are always squabbling like this, it’s their way to tell each other they keep heart of the other.
I have many younger brothers, but we are more used to fight with each other more than talking on nonsense…
“So, Jules, tell your mummy what you think of your internship!”
“Oh, yes… it’s cool…”
“And what does it consist in, this job?”
“Oh, well… I have to check the good operation of the game, more particularly on some people that don’t seem to respect the rules. Right now, I just learn to progress in the virtual world, it’s cool…”
“it’s cool, it’s cool… you only have these words on your tongue? Well… at least it’s not dangerous?”
“Huh, I don’t risk to experience pain as machine are very efficient in blocking the suffering. And, aunty can always intervene if I have a problem.”
“Yes, that’s crystal clear, I’m always around if he needs me. But there is nothing to fear about!”

“Table! It’s appetizer time!”
It’s daddy, he’s going out of the kitchen. Tonight, we celebrate my first internship day!”
***
“So, now, tell me what you thought about those little cheese croissants, and those mini goat cheese tart with honey and nuts!”
“Daddy, why did you put so much mustard on the croissants? It’s burning!”
“You shouldn’t have prepared the tarts this way. The pastry is not baked, and the honey is burnt on top! You should have lowered the temperature and put them lower inside the oven!”
“At least, cokes are fresh. Sweetheart, it’s very kind of you, but we can see that… mini bakery… for it, you are still a beginner!”
Poor daddy! It will be better next time!
“Well, well… so, what do you plan to do for next weeks? You know that as long as heat wave continue, it’s not possible to travel…”
“I planned everything for my lovely nephew: Jules works for me 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, I take care of lunch, and he can play the rest of the time. If you leave him going back home around 9 PM, he should be able to really benefit from the game and do a good work for me.
My parents looked at each other, pensive...
“In itself, it doesn’t bother us. A good experience in Alter Life, it should open his mind a little. But it won’t make vacation homework.”
“Daddy! I don’t have homework!”
“He’s right, next year, if Jules does an alternation in Alt F4, we can take care of his training. But this, it will depend on how he progresses in Alter Life, I will have to convince my superiors.”
“It’s OK. If he can get an alternation contract, even if he’s only 15, I’m okay with it.”
***
Evening finished quietly, and I didn’t go to bed too late, after having taken a look on the internet.
After all, this conversation with aunty and my parents put me under pressure.
Since the beginning of previous century, many things have changed…
But one hasn’t changed: parents worries about their children future, and that they get a good professional situation.
I’m not really good at studying, I just have facilities, and because of this, I don’t work really hard.
On the other side, I have many friends, I have a very easy first contact! It will help me a lot in Alter Life as it’s important to often go talking to strangers, interact with players as well as NPC.
In the night silence, I think about my 2 characters: Jules squire is weak and still level 1, but I learnt how to swim; Jules zombie has progressed much faster and has already done several quests.
I should maybe tell Gandock that I want to do many quests, in order to get a more interesting level.
Making me swim all the afternoon… what a weirdo, this knight!
The more I think about him, the less I understand him…
After all… adult world is very complex, and I just enter inside: I’m still a beginner!
Something disturbed me: on Alter Life website, we can get an access at the name of every player…
No one is called Gandock…
And in the wiki about NPC, there are millions of names… but none is Gandock.
Nothing on characters used by administrators either.
It’s as if… this knight were a ghost.
He doesn’t leave a trace!

8 299Indomitable Marvel
-This is a wish-fulfillment story that is in the MCU universe and will follow the MCU in my own way. The goal is to blend my story in and around the MCU. -It will be a while, a very long while before I get to the actual MCU storyline. -The story may seem a bit slow depending on what you're after. -Updates will be slow. -He does not start op. -Be warned I'm a below-average writer, I need to work on my details and wording, and probably everything else. Expect quality fluctuations. -((( Useful feedback is much appreciated. ))) -This will have a harem since my last story didn't have one. --Expect badly written lemon scenes. They will be marked for an easy skip for those who don't want to read it. If you can handle all that, then welcome aboard. -The Asgardian Theoric is about to get a second chance. [[[ https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Theoric_(Earth-616) ]]] -The story starts before the MCU where he will grow his abilities on his way to becoming indomitable. -1st volume: Prologue -2nd volume: Troll War - (ch.12-59)-3rd volume: Hidden Forces - (ch. 60-???)-4th volume: Olympians-5th volume: Mutants-6th volume: MCU-7th volume: Darkness???-8th volume: ??? ___________________________________To help answer some questions people might have. - No beast companions and as of right now no plans for beast companions. (But then again Hela does have Fenris...)- No kingdom-building,- The beginning of the story puts a lot of people off because I didn't go the normal route people would like, and they don't tend to like the troll arc.- He also starts a little rash and seems a little weak because his powers easily drain him, some of this is explained later though and fixed by Gaea, but many miss this and only concentrate on the fact that he isn't being and doing what they think he should.- I should also explain that he has some memories that were locked away and then deleted because of his rashness. This was simply a way to end the whole locked memory thing, the Acanti soul was a plot point to give him future memories of the MCU, beyond that it served no more purpose so I got rid of all the other useless knowledge, He was in no way nerfed as some would like to believe.- I made him a little more emotional then I would like at the beginning, it was my attempt at trying to give him a personality after being criticized for the lack thereof in my last story. - Ruthless? I don't think so, I'm going more the route of a fair Mc. He'll do more of an eye for an eye type stuff, gender does not matter to him when it comes to this.- While the harem isn't the end all be all goal, it's true that he's going around getting women.- I do have a story beyond the harem though and will not focus too heavily on the harem beyond the obvious. Mostly he just goes around sleeping with them and beyond that is anyone's guess whether they stick around or not, I do try and make it feel a little more real, but it is a harem. ___________________________________ -I have also posted this story on Royal Road and Wattpad.
