Thinking About Things (Page 86)

~~~(POV: Lyatt Scott)~~~

~~~(Location: Sitting on Couch Watching TV, Real World)~~~

~~~(Date: February 17th, 2297)~~~

~~~(Time: 12:41 PM)~~~

"It's so fucking good to actually eat food and not get my nutrients from the Gaming Pod... I forget how good a hamburger is, and then I got and stuff my face with them... I'm so glad that I learned how to cook back in my old life..."

All this was before I was murdered... And speaking of finding out who murdered me, I'm still nowhere in regards to that information.

I didn't particularly stand out in power, so why kill me in the real world... That doesn't make sense... It had to be someone close. Someone that knew my real-life identity. But all the people that I end up becoming friends with have changed.

I've made alterations to the timeline, and that means some things won't be the same... Meaning I won't find my killer...

"Could it have been possible..."

What The Darkness said to me as me wondering...

"The Darkness said that Devin Leo was never meant to wield this power... It was always meant to be me... Could The Darkness be a figure behind my death..."

The Darkness and I are one and the same within the confines of the game. To truly unite with me, did it kill me and turn back time? Is that even possible for The Darkness...

My deep thoughts about what's going on in my life are stopped as I take another juicy and delicious bite. I sure know how to cook a patty and make a burger. If only Mom and Dad could taste how good their son's cooking has become.

But they're busy with their lives now, and I have mine. A rich and successful individual making his living in the gaming world.

This leads to another avenue of thought... What am I going to do with the Epic Grade Battle Axe Xelxolsis... I tried to trade it, but that didn't pan out, and the Auction house hasn't come out yet.

It releases with The World Lore Tab on the 21st of this month. I could sell it in the Auction house, but then people will look me up and see about my accomplishments and start connecting dots that I don't want to be connected...

"So many issues and so little patience to fix them all..."

In all truth, Xelxolsis could prove to be a valuable bargaining chip... But not forever long. Players are getting stronger every day, and that means Xelxolsis will become useless soon.

"Enough thinking about all this... Save that for game time... This is the real world, and it's time for a break mentally... Just enjoy the food and the TV..."

As much as I want to watch the news about Libertas, that doesn't really sound like relaxing and taking my mind off things. So I'm watching some shows to pass the time until later tonight when I get back on and head for Von Jaric Larids Raid.

"My first Raid since coming back to the past, and I plan to get everything that comes with the first Solo Clear of a Raid... No one knows that you can use a Solo Raid Pass to do it on your own. Only I know this currently."

It makes sense that I'm the only one that knows this little secret. It's only been 10 days since the game launched, and that means there hasn't been any time to figure out such subtleties. Everyone is too busy trying to level up and grind.

There won't be any annoying announcements telling Players and NPCs about my accomplishment. Things don't work like that in Libertas. When I clear the Raid solo, only I'll know, and I'll get that reward. It wasn't my original plan, but I might as well go for it.

"After I'm done with all the things in Kedwein, it'll finally be time to check out the Epic Grade quest I've got regarding a very well-known and story immortalized exorcist.

I've never heard or seen anything regarding the quest. It's another thing that will be exclusive and new to me.

"But I'll need to be wary of The Darkness... If it did lead to my death and coming back here... I'll need to be on guard for anything else it might try..."

I can't be certain, but it's a possibility. And I don't rule anything out without a good reason too.
