Re-Awakening: I Became a Pay To Win Boss Monster

The Medusa stared at them awkwardly, startling the nearby players and everyone else except Rael and Zafira.

But before they could attack, Zafira raised her hand, stopping them.

"Is that her?" Zafira asked, her eyes sparkling as if she were looking at a toy.

Before she could get any funny ideas, Rael ruffled her hair and nodded at the Medusa.

"I imagine it was difficult to cross the continent on foot. But you're welcome here..." he trailed off, getting a brilliant idea.

"Linlin?" he called out.

"...Yes?"

"When you go inside the dungeon, take Medusa along, alright? She's my familiar now, so you can trust her," he said, and a deathly silence followed.

But just as they opened their mouths to protest, he grabbed Zafira by the waist and kicked off the ground

He was so fast that in less than a millisecond, he arrived at the palace, then the throne room and finally their home on the blue star.

Rael carried her inside the massive mansion, and as he thought, he could hear distant sounds from the cinema room, meaning her parents were here again.

But as he set Zafira down on the ground and prepared to greet her parents, she suddenly planted a deep kiss on his lips.

It lasted for a while, and of course, it set both of them in the mood.

So after exchanging one last glance at each other, they rushed into the master bedroom and locked the doors behind them.

1 day later...

Due to some completely unexpected circumstances, their departure was delayed by a single day.

Rael let out a sigh as he stared at the sleeping Zafira beside him, then gently brushed her hair, causing her to squirm slightly and let out a soft snore.

He pinched her nose, and bit by bit, her face got redder until eventually, her eyes shot open as she jumped up onto the bed, showcasing everything.

Rael whistled.

"Well, isn't this a morning surprise?"

Zafira rolled her eyes and sat down in his lap, then gave him a soft kiss on the lips.

"I'll miss you too," she said.

He ruffled her hair one last time and embraced her.

The embrace lasted a few minutes until eventually, the two parted.

Zafira swallowed the pill he had gotten her and dressed up.

Surprisingly, she decided to wear her armor this time.

Rael, on the other hand, put on some casual clothes and prepared himself.

"So did you get through to Anubis?" he asked.

"Um." Zafira nodded, adjusting her armor. "She agreed to meet. Though she is a bit mad we didn't give her any tributes while we were inside the Spatial Crack... so it might be a bit—"

Before she could finish her words, a box appeared on the bed, emitting a delicious aroma.

She tilted her head. "That doesn't smell like a pizza...?"

"Because it isn't." Rael chuckled. "It's a lasagna. Trust me, it's arguably better than pizza."

A faint smile tugged at her lips as she stored the box of lasagna inside her inventory, and with that, gave him a wave.

"I'm offh," she said, biting her tongue.

A wide smirk appeared on Rael's face, and before he could tease her, she vanished.

He stared at the empty space for a few moments until eventually, he turned away.

It was strange, actually feeling something like this.

Such affection and love... he felt like he could lose it all at the snap of a finger.

I'm acting like a child... Rael thought with a sigh. I really need to get my shit together.

And he would do just that now.

<Ding!>

<Mental State: Positive, Clear, Highest Capacity>

<You may play out the entire Memory Record!>

<Do you wish to do so? Yes / No>

He didn't press anything yet, instead...

"You're listening, right? Can you tell me one thing..." he trailed off, his voice falling low. "Why exactly can I do whatever I want inside that memory record? Shouldn't it be like a vision or something?"

A few moments passed with nothing happening, until eventually, a pop-up appeared.

<You have insufficient authority to request that information.>

"Oh fuck off then," Rael said, and without wasting another moment, he pressed "Yes."

Immediately, his vision turned dark.

But it didn't last long, as he soon reappeared on the familiar rooftop, the faint silvery glow from before being present.

And so were the pop-ups he had seen before the memory record ended.

<Ding!>

<Congratulations, your world: World #2221 has undergone an awakening!>

<World #2221 will undergo a second awakening in: 91 days.>

<You have gained the [Utility] Class: [Mildly Inconvenient] (Common | Utility)>

<Would you like to view your new class? Yes / No>

Rael nodded and pressed yes.

And soon...

<Evaluation: Absolute trash. What the hell have you been doing to get such a terrible class?>

"What the fuck is this?" Rael wondered as he looked all around until eventually, he realized he could open the status screen.

So he did.

He stared at it for a few seconds before rubbing his temples in frustration.

This was not the Sketa Online status screen, and for one, he was sure this bullshit was just the start.

But before he could ponder further, another pop-up appeared in front of him, causing his brows to furrow.

<Main Scenario has been unlocked!>

<Scenario 1: Start of the Apocalypse>

<Objective: Find and hide inside a safe zone.>

<Warning!>

<If the user does not find a safe zone within 1 hour, they will be killed.>

"Awesome," Rael muttered sarcastically as he stood up and stretched his back.

He expected some sort of apocalypse to happen after seeing the sight last time

But he truly wished that wasting his time here would give him the answers he was seeking.

So with one final stretch, he began making his way down the stairwell and out of the building.

The cops had long since stopped chasing him, yet the streets were completely demolished, with debris and bodies scattered around.

Just as he thought he could slip past all this destruction, he heard a growling noise from the side.

And once he turned toward it, he saw a rat that looked identical to the one he had fought when he first arrived inside Sketa Online.

Rael let out a chuckle and picked up a metal bar from the ground.

Well shit... here we go again.
