King's Proxy

MarcusAs far as I’m concerned, of my, well, sense of reality, I kept on feeling this strange surge of energy filling up every veins of my being. Was the effect of the blood crystal(Self proclaimed) be great after all? That vampire guy- I mean Rox, did say that it increased the health bar. But I didn’t expect for it to be connected with my health.Eh wait… So when he said I might die if I let the health bar drop, did he really mean it?Scary.Vampires are scary.But he’s not a vampire, probably, and getting scared when I am already obeying his plans and almost finished collectiing the crystal feels like it’s already too late.“Alright…” I hopped towards my last crystal and a BLING sound echoed through the grim forest just like a notification of a game, unless I’ve heard it for the 546th time already.“The path of rejuvenation is perilous…” I mumbled

Marcus’s POV…is handsome.“That guy is handsome.” I stated.For a few moments, I managed to steer away Alphonso’s focus from the shoujo mange he was reading. He threw me a strange look.“What, are you gay?” His suspicion arise.I cracked a grin at him and shoved my lock screen image—which is an image of an anime fireman who’s smiling like a maniac as his feet caught in fire—to his view. Alphonso choked a surprised Oomph!“Does a male praising another male’s handsomeness counted as gay?” I then drifted my gaze to my lock screen and at the same time, remembered all the anime figurines of males I have stored in my work room.“Doesn’t that mean I am double gay?”“No…” Alphonso rubbed the tip of his nose that looks a bit red from my shoving. “If you liked that madman on your lock screen, you are not gay, you&rsq

Marcus“Acknowledge, huh…?” Was the first thing I croaked after waking up from my lucid dream. I was in pieces assuming that it’s all a dream—because my body feel okay despite being poisoned by a lethal poison—and a reality—because the King’s bite really did hurt like hell.I rubbed my neck after sitting up from the bed, glancing around the room randomly while looking at the objects including the VR headset that is charging on top of it’s charging spot. My eyes wandered off to the area near me, looking for the existance of an object that I aam pretty sure I received.“Ah, there it is.” I twisted my waist a bit to reach a new puzzle piece placed beside the bed. I don’t remember Rox giving me the piece, but I guess it’s like a game mechanism where you automatically get the item upon the completion of a mission.Sounds fun but last night was not fun at all.I glanced at the

Marcus I can remember vividly those jagged rows of yellowish, red teeth flashing at me. If not for the moves I remembered in one of those fighting games, and my will to live, I might have not survived if I were to be bitten by that. Though, I might have pushed myself too much during the previous level. Fighting while climbing up flight if stairs was a tough thing to do, especially when the monster that chased me is a spider type. Those spindly legs made of shiny metals could kill me in one fell swoop, but it's less terrifying compared to its face. About the description... I believe I have explained it above. After fighting for my dear life, my body aches all over when I wake up from my lucid dream. I never knew that physical capabilities are related between reality and dream. Though I heard somewhere that if you die in your lucid dream, you'll die in real life. I'll need to improve my stamina somehow. Which was why... I started personal stamina training on my own, while getting mys

MarcusI could have sworn my bed was less soft than this. It feels like I was laying down on a smooth and fluffy cloud. I rolled a bit and stretched my body, with my eyes still closed. Huh, I guess I’ll just continue my sleep then.“You seem pretty complacent, little one.” A voice appeared from my right side.I opened my eyes rather slowly in response to that voice. Not that I was not surprised, it’s just I was rather annoyed when he called me right now. I mean, why must now?“…Rox.” My tone deepened in despise.The vampire quest giver raised one of his eyebrows, as if he was surprised, but smiling at the same time.“What is it?” I decided to sit up from laying down. Seeing his pale face instantly washed away all my fatigue. I didn’t mean it in a good way obviously.“I didn’t know that you could sound like that. Your voice is usually so… cranky, you know?&
