Virtual Sword God!

VGS 42

Ever Since Lucas had been defeated by Arthur, Lucas had been troubled with finding a new warrior to play. Lucas had spent nearly his entire life playing the warrior Mu Samu. He knew all of the warrior's strengths its weakness and every little quirk about the warrior. Starting with a new warrior was similar to starting from scratch for a pro.

After the fight with Arthur, he realised that he had just been following in his father's footsteps by playing the same Warrior. The fighting style, the play style, it was all just imitations of his father. Not only that, it was a worse version of his father.

Lucas needed to find a warrior that fit him just right and even then, it would take him a while before he could learn all the quirks and skills of the warrior.

Lucas had been testing different warriors for weeks but still hadn't found one he liked.contemporary romance

One day, when Lucas was walking home from school, he decided to drop by the VSW internet café. If someone had an idea of what warrior was best suited for him, then he thought Novis would be the best person to ask.

Everyday Lucas went to visit the internet café but Novis was never there. After the 6th visit to the café, he eventually decided that he couldn't rely on anyone else's help and needed to do things on his own.

Lucas was hoping that he would be able to find a new Warrior in time for the school competition.

Before leaving the internet café, Lucas asked Sophie to deliver a message.

"Hey Sophie, if you see that Novis kid again can you tell him, I'll be waiting for him at the local school tournament. And this time, I won't lose."

Sophie agreed to pass on the message. She could see that Lucas had changed. Before it felt like he needed to meet his father's expectations but now Lucas was doing things for himself.

Lucas had finally arrived home. He lived in a huge mansion that had everything a kid could ever dream off. And more importantly, he had all the latest Goldware corp equipment to play the VSW game with. Of course, this was all because of who Lucas's father was, Justin bell. Currently the number one player on the ranking board.

Lucas went into his room and hopped into his Capsule straight away. He was currently testing out his 20th warrior in the game. after a few matches with the warrior, Lucas popped out of the capsule and shook his head.

"Not this one either, I'm running out of time."

The tournament was due to start in two weeks and Lucas felt like he would need at least a week to learn the Warrior before entering into a tournament.

Lucas went online to look at the list of warriors. There were many different types that held all sorts of weapons. Mu Samu used a katana blade so Lucas wanted to stick to something similar. He didn't want to change to a ranged character or a tank. He liked playing as a high damage dealer as these characters could easily change the flow of the game.

As Lucas was looking at the characters, he spotted a few weapons that interested him. There was a character that used gauntlets, one used a giant scythe and one even held a blade in his mouth. (a reference to my other series Reincarnated into a human?).

As Lucas was looking at the character information and skill sheet of one of the characters, he suddenly heard a small whisper.

"C….m….e….r"

At first, Lucas couldn't quite hear the words and just ignored it for something else. But slowly the whisper became clearer.

"Come…..here.....to….me.."

The voice was a soft gentle female voice. Lucas was worried he had played the game for too long and his mind was playing tricks on him. He was currently the only one in his house apart from a few servants here and there.

"Come…here.."

"Hello, is anyone there!" Lucas shouted.

A maid then opened the door.

"Is anything wrong sir?"

"Did you say something?"

"No sir, no one has been outside this room but me."

"Sorry to bother you, let me know if you see anything."

"Only you can hear me…" The voice whispered.

Lucas tried looking around his room to see if he could spot anyone but after searching around every corner of the room, there was nothing.

"I'm not here.. Come find me." Lucas could nowhere the voice as if it was directly speaking in his mind.

"What do you want?"

"Find me. Help me and I will help you."

Lucas curiosity got the better of him but he wasn't stupid. He went to his cupboard and grabbed a katana blade that his father gifted him for his twelve birthday. Lucas often trained with the sword as his father encouraged him to learn how to use the weapon in real life, to help him with the game.

If someone had broken into the house, the thief was the one that needed to worry not Lucas.

Lucas left his room and started to follow the direction of the voice. As he left the maid saw him holding the blade in his hand.

"Sir, if there is anything you need, I'm happy to get it for you."

"Don't worry I'm going to train for the night before I go to sleep. Why don't you take a rest?" Lucas said as he smiled.

Lucas had always treated the maids and servants as his own family members. They had looked after him since he was young, more so than his own parents who were never at home. The servants also treated Lucas as a family.

Lucas walked around the mansion while the voice-guided him. If Lucas went in the wrong direction, it would say so. The mansion was like a maze. There were rooms inside of rooms and even places Lucas had never been to before.

Finally, after thirty minutes of walking around, he had eventually reached a huge double door. The double door was located in his father's training room in the basement. The training room was a huge empty space with many weapons mounted on the wall. They were also sword markings and even marks of blood all over.

Lucas could tell just from looking, how hard his father trained. As Lucas approached the double door the voice said.

"I'm in here, please help me."

Lucas tried opening the door but it was locked. Clearly, this meant it wasn't some type of criminal who had broken into the house. Lucas then started to wonder what was truly behind the door.

Although Lucas didn't have a key. The lock wasn't strong enough to keep him from cutting it open with his blade.

Lucas hesitated for a moment. Then eventually decided to go in.
