NOVEL WEB Chapter 158: New World II
As Renji stood there, trying to process the situation, his aunt, Misaki Takahashi, continued teasing him. "You know, Renji, if you're going to bring girls over, at least give me a heads-up," she said, winking playfully. "I could've prepared a better breakfast for your... guests."
Renji cleared his throat, attempting to shift the conversation. "Aunt Misaki, it's not what you think. They're just... friends who stayed over because of the accident."
Misaki raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced. "Friends, huh? Well, your friends were making quite the ruckus last night," she said, her tone dripping with playful sarcasm.
At that moment, Sakura (Trish) appeared at the doorway, wearing one of Renji's oversized shirts. "Good morning," she said, her tone casual but with a faint smirk as she glanced between Renji and Misaki.
Misaki's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Ah, so you're one of Renji's friends. Nice to meet you. I'm his aunt, Misaki. Feel free to call me Auntie Misaki."
Sakura grinned, playing along. "Nice to meet you, Auntie Misaki. Renji's been so kind to us since the accident."
Renji groaned internally. Sakura was enjoying this far too much. Before he could say anything, the other girls began filtering into the room, all similarly dressed in Renji's shirts. Misaki took one look at the group and chuckled. "Well, well, Renji. You've certainly got your hands full. Just don't forget to clean up after yourselves."
"Thanks, Aunt Misaki," Renji said, trying to maintain his composure. He quickly ushered the girls back into the living room, away from his aunt's teasing gaze.
Once they were out of earshot, Renji sighed and turned to the group. "Alright, we need to focus. We're here for a reason, and blending into this world is our first priority. That means no drawing unnecessary attention—especially from my aunt."
Hikari (Boa Hancock) stretched lazily. "So, what's the plan?"
"Well, the plan is that we all hop into Satisfy and enjoy ourselves there," Renji said as they looked at him.
"Remind me, who was speaking of being serious again?" Trish asked as the others stared at him.
"I was just joking at that time," Renji said, rolling his eyes as they nodded in agreement.
"So, go now, back to your homes. As you already know from your memories, we—or the originals—were planning to start playing the game Satisfy after returning from the trip. Though that clearly didn't go as planned, it still helps us, as we can now play fresh and enjoy it as we like," he said, and they nodded.
After a light breakfast and the constant teasing from his aunt, the girls finally left, returning to their own new homes. Like Renji, they also had families in this world, and now they were heading back to their respective homes, where their VR capsules were already waiting for them to dive into Satisfy.
Renji looked at his own VR capsule, a sleek white, oval egg-shaped device. "Latest gen, huh?" Renji mumbled to himself. His new family was clearly loaded with money, with his aunt being a shareholder in Satisfy. They even got all the tech related to the game for free.
Renji, ten ed it stingin he gred it up.
[Welcome to Satisfy]
With the notification, Renji closed his eyes, finding himself in the character creation screen. "Keep it original and name it Dave," Renji said as the system processed the request.
[Your character is successfully created. Happy gaming!] the system notification chimed as Renji opened his eyes.
He stood in the center of a bustling town square, his new avatar fully materializing in front of him. The vibrant world of Satisfy stretched out around him, filled with the sounds of NPCs interacting, the market vendors calling out, and other players preparing for their adventures. It was all so immersive, and Renji, now inhabiting the body of his character, felt he once again traveled through.
{A/N : I wonder when Meta or Tesla will make Virtual Reality Games, not like todays, but like the ones in Manhwas }
He looked around, and then going to an side, he opened his character screen.

"Hmm, basic," Dave mumbled as he closed the character creation screen. He first decided to head to the library to farm some Intelligence points, a thing common in Manhwas. Though in Overgeared, it wasn't as mentioned, but he can try, Also since the Mumud Successor was a magician class, it would be better to farm some Intelligence points to get ahead. Not to mention he has one other motive to go to Library.
Arriving at the library, he walked inside.
"Can I help?" a voice asked, and Dave turned to find a cute girl leading him.
"Yes, I came here to read some books," he said, as the girl smiled.
"I'm the librarian here, Nira. Nice to meet you," she said, shaking his hand. "To read here, you'll need a Library Membership Card. It will cost ten silver coins," she added sweetly.
Dave paid her, using some of the beginner's coins he had received from the newbie gift pack, which included a basic Iron sword and 100 silver coins. He handed her ten silver coins, and she gave him the Library Pass.
[You have gained the Common item: Library Pass]
[Using it, you can access the Library of Lubana]
Dave nodded and chose to explore the Kingdom's library. Though it is now a territory of Sharan Empire, he is not interested in the rich history of the Kingdom of Lubana, but in the legendary class-Madara Successor, and the clue to obtain it is in the Library.
"Time to dive in and see the rich history of the Kingdom," Dave mumbled as he went ahead and began reading the books.
He first picked up a book on the history of the Lubana Kingdom. As he read, and after some time he closed the book, a notification rang out.
[ Your Knowledge has increased by reading the book ]
[ You have gained one stat point in Int ]
