A few minutes earlier, just after Matthias turned around, Mr. Owen remembered that his new master doesn’t have a car to drive around. 

“How dumb of me to not organize that first before saying goodbye to him.”

Trying to catch up on Matthias, Mr. Owen called his secretary to arrange the car for him.

“I’ll be there in a minute, so you just need to remain on standby.”

 But what is this now?

“What are you doing?” he couldn't help but shout when he saw Matthias being surrounded by his own men. 

"Why are you all gathered here?"

Noelle’s eyes almost bulged out of her eye-socket when she saw the CEO’s angry face. She trembled and the cat seemed to get her tongue under the intense pressure of her boss.

“It’s because of this man, sir!” one of the guards shouted to make a good impression in front of Noelle as if what he did saved the whole world. 

“This beggar suddenly stormed in and caused a commotion earlier, so we will be sending him to the police station to lock him up in a prison for trespassing and–huh?”

The guard’s explanation stopped when one of his subordinates nudged him and pointed at the apparent rage at the CEO’s face.

“You! You’re fired.”

And the commotion worsened. 

“Master Matthias, I apologize for the rough behavior of my men,” Mr. Owen said and bowed to Matthias who was straightening his cheap suit.

Matthias smiled. “Ah, it’s fine. No harm is done so don’t be too harsh on them.”

Recognizing the clear hierarchy between the CEO and Matthias, everyone was puzzled, including Noelle, who couldn't comprehend what was happening.

Despite that, Noelle was quick to the uptake and bowed her head to Matthias to apologize, which shocked Matthias.

‘Bad. This is bad, I never knew that he is someone that can make even the CEO bow,’ Noelle thought. 

Then she smiled. 

Isn’t he just a sapling? 

Compared to the mature CEO this ‘Matthias’ would be easy to manipulate. 

“Oh dear, please forgive my attitude earlier,” Noelle spoke while putting her hair back to show her gifted breast to Matthias. 

“As an apology, why don’t we have a coffee and start over?” she added and posed a bit more, emphasizing the curves in her body. 

This changed Matthias' stance from before. 

Disgusted at Noelle acting like his damn ex-girlfriend, trying to catch the people with big money,  Matthias whispered something Mr. Owen and as if magic, Mr. Owen demoted Noelle and made her a plain concierge in the lobby. 

Mr. Owen was in the middle of straightening out the situation when a phone call from his friend interrupted Matthias’ train of thoughts. 

“Matt. Where are you now?” the caller asked Matthias. “Did you forget that we have basketball drills today?

“Now? Okay…Ha? Fine, fine, I’ll be there.”

Matthias hurriedly went out to catch the next taxi when Mr. Owen called him again, pointing him to a new sedan that the CEO had prepared for him.

“Where should I take you, Master?” the driver asked Matthias when he went inside the luxurious car. 

“To the Eastgate University, Gate B,” he replied quickly and glanced at his phone again.

Fifteen minutes passed and before he knew it, he’s already inside the university. 

“That’s quick,” he commented to the driver because usually, it takes him more than 30 minutes to reach there. 

After thanking the driver, Matthias went out and ran like lightning to the gym where his friends were already waiting for him. 

“Matt!” they shouted when they saw the familiar silhouette of Matthias. 

And he’s immediately bombarded with questions regarding Aira because for them, Aira is already a dream girl. 

“Why did you not tell us that the two of you already broke up? What kind of friend are you if you’re not going to pass your beautiful girlfriend to us?” Wilson complained to him.

Matthias almost kicked his friends. 

How did this f*ckers knew about the breakup that fast? 

He did not remember himself mentioning it to them.

He’s thinking about that when Aira went to the gym together with her friends, holding the arm of Jared Spencer, the school’s worst student. 

What the f*ck, Aira. He cursed in his head. 

He really can’t understand his past self who stayed with this kind of girl that will sleep with an old man and flirt with a juvenile. 

“Yo, Matthias, how’s life goin’?”

Matthias smiled at Jared, who approached him. 

Meanwhile, Aira distanced herself from them and went to the cheer group.

Why? Is she thinking that he’ll spill it that they broke up after he caught her with a dirty old man?

No way. 

That will only drive these two scumbags away from each other. Because who will match a bitch like Aira but a juvenile being like Jared. 

Matthias can’t hide his smile at the thought of how Jared will react if he ever finds out that Aira is cheating on him over some old stinky man. 

Maybe beat her or reveal her secret in the worst possible way. 

No matter how, he’s sure that it’ll be fun to watch.

Irritated at Matthias’ smile, Jared pushed him a little and snickered. “I heard that you finally admitted that you’re eunuch to Aira, Matthias. Do you want us to test it out?’’

Matthias frowned. What the hell is this dude up to? 

And eunuch? 

Matthias just shook his head at Aira’s lies.

“Why are you not answering? Are you afraid, chicken-boy?” Jared teased him more.

Jared’s teammates even joined the laughter from their leader that made Matthias’ friends step in to assist Matthias. 

But Matthias stopped them and told them that he’ll be the one going to solve the problem. 

There’s no problem in those taunts alone but Jared started hitting the side of Matthias’ head, slapping it with his callous filled hands. 

“Hey, hey, are you going to stay looking at me like that?” Jared asked before he slapped Matthias again.

“So, you’re a eunuch? Not a man?”

Even Aira’s friend also joined in and hauled insults to Matthias like the bitch that they are.

“I mean, silence means yes, right?” Luna added fire to the debate and sneered at Matthias.

Aira’s other friend, Ella also joined the commotion and did not let the chance slip to insult Matthias. “Right, girl. Just imagining his small manhood makes me go eew.”

But Matthias did not say a word and just glared straight to Jared’s eye to prevent escalating the scene.

He also has no intention in putting his friends at Jared’s bad side. 

Jared, on the other hand, is enjoying the bullying at Matthias and was about to punch him when suddenly a voice came in from the gym’s door. 

It’s Cheska, the cheerleader captain.

The tall, model-like and A+ student of their university, who never fails at anything she does, beauty, cheerleading and leadership included.

“Jared! Are you seriously going to go back to your old ways again?” Cheska directly asked Jared that still has his arm midair. 

Even though she asked, Jared just snorted and left without a word. 

At the same moment, the Coach also entered and class began.

But before class started, Matthias was caught off guard at Cheska’s sudden invitation. 

“Hey, wanna come to my party?” she said and smiled sweetly.

    "Get that and that and that fucker out of my face, now. Argh!"Everyone trembled as Camilla shouts to her assistant to take out the professional gamers that they hired to mine invaluable things within IMPERIAL SAGA."I'm so tired of dealing with morons. Why do you keep hiring dumb people like those?" she whined to her butler and lover, James Morrow. "Do a better job or else...hah, don't mind."James walked out of the room escorting the fired gamers, who's been gaming for only one day but brought out unsatisfactory results to Camilla."Can I ask something," one of the gamers asked James. His eyes were already moistened from the harsh words beating from Camilla earlier but it wasn't that noticeable behind his thick eyeglasses."We know what we are doing, mining and collecting rare treasures but why is she offended when we said that we successfully formed an alliance with that Duke? As someone with a merchant job, being in connection with the Duke will surely make the gameplay easier."

    Nelson's uploaded video took up the charts in trending topics. He was even interviewed for an evening magazine show just to talk about his experience in meeting the rumored Duke, who everyone thinks is the top player within the game because currently, he's also the one dealing with the empire's affairs more than the emperor. "Isn't this a problem?" Clementine said to Matthias when Matthias went out of his capsule that day. "That Camilla will see you.""See me?" Matthias thought for a while before stepping out of the capsule. "What is it for her then? I don't remember offending her except for that one time when I—""She's out for your throat and money," Clementine informed Matthias. "And because of that, here's the report that I need you to read."Matthias read the report with a serious face, tapping on the floor with his foot. And after two minutes, he sat down on the chair not too far away from him. "These...is she seriously trying to start a war? Isn't the sales and manufacturing

    Bam!Fireworks shot at the sky at the launch of the most advanced virtual reality game, IMPERIAL SAGA. People, gamers enthusiasts and people who follow the latest trends in technology participated at the countdown when the game was announced online.“Damn, cool! I’m glad I swapped my motorbike for this capsule,” the Nettuber Nelson commented when he showed his followers the capsule he acquired that is only for playing the now popular, IMPERIAL SAGA.“And did you know…hushh…this is a secret I just got from fellow gamers. So, did you know, there’s a rumor that IMPERIAL SAGA will give its players money just for gaming? Brothers and sisters, our in-game money can be withdrawn in the real world!”[foccin killa…][just what i always wanted it to be][Imagine having a job inside the game and using your money in real life where you’re jobless. That’s nuts. It’s like having two lives.][hahaha, I’m taking assassination jobs now. Anyone who wanna hire me?][murder XD][lololololol]Nelson looke

    “Same as…me?” “Yeah… you. How do you describe yourself?” Matthias told Larsen as he studied the capsule where he’s been laying down for a long time…which felt exactly 3 years for him.Complicated, maybe? Larsen thought.Ah! So that’s how it is.“Aren’t you going to ask me something important?” Larsen smirked at Matthias.“Not interested. Anything that you’ll say won’t be taken seriously by me…Dear Emperor.”Larsen gave a deep sigh at Matthias’ stubbornness. Well, that’s to be expected from him.“If I were you, I'd start taking over land now. It could be something that’s not Penoma but that’s the place I recommend. That’s because in 3 weeks time, I will officially launch this app out in public. Meaning, you’ll be taken over by those who really know how to beat a game. You should hurry.”Then Larsen left the room, leaving Matthias who is still engrossed at the structure of the giant device in front of him.Two weeks passed and the rumor about a new virtual reality game that extends to

    Chapter 53A party…again.What does it mean?Larsen, who saw Matthias’ apparent confusion, laughed. “You should start controlling your emotions, young one. Like right now, I can see that you’re too ignorant by what I mean and just now, you got offended when I called you ‘young’.”“But you’re not really that old,” Matthias commented to Larsen. In his estimate, Larsen is just about the same age as him.“If you’re saying that I am not old in real life then I am not. But in this game, my age is already in 3 digits.”Well, it does not surprise him.Larsen being an emperor means he already spent a lot of time inside the game. So, mentally…“Dang, old rotting guy,” Matthias blurted, which was heard by Larsen.“You talk sharp, young one,” Larsen teased Matthias. “Talk to elders with respect.”Ignoring Larsen’s words, Matthias walked away. “Are you not going to ask me more about this game?” Larsen shouted as Matthias took a step further and further away from him.“No need, thank you. I’ll f

    As Larsen faded, Matthias slowly walked away from the monsters so that he wouldn't end up like their last victim, hanged upside down and conscious while being bitten bit by bit by the monsters as if savoring a delicacy. Small dark elves, that’s what the monsters are and they are burning and tossing the other humans they captured, shouting and cheering as they pass it to each other to have their comrades taste it. But as Matthias tried to run away from the busy elves, he did not notice a stone in the ground and fell belly first to the ground. Without thinking, he used the ability [Blink] but instead of getting himself far away from the monsters, he ended up back to his previous position which is just barely a hundred kilometers away from the elves. In haste, he tried to crawl out of panic. This led to one elf learning his location. Soon, each of the elves started to recognize that there is an intruder in their vicinity. Squeeee! The tiny humanoid creatures squealed like goblins a
