Virtual Sword God! - Chapter 111

After watching Arthur and George play a few games, Noivs logged out of the VR headset and was a little pumped up to start his own training. But before he did, he had a lingering question mark in his head. When they were playing the game his Brother immediately asked to be friends with Arthur but not only that, everyone else in the game as well.

It was a weird feeling but almost as if he was a celebrity. The only thing he could do was ask Bill why everyone had acted so strangely in his games. When Novis left his room and entered the hallway, he immediately could hear Bill screaming from his room.

“YES!, YES, I can’t believe it, he added me, him. He chooses me out of everyone.”

Bill’s excitement was over the moon and so were his friends. Everyone who knew Bill had already found out that he had become a friend of the Virtual sword god and were constantly sending him messages. Not only that but even media and pro teams started to send him messages as well.

This was all to get closer to finding out just who this virtual sword god person was. So far there were only two known people on his friend list, Hastam, and Bill. Suddenly Bill heard a knock at his door.

“Hey, Bill can I come in?” Novis asked.

“Go ahead!” Bill Replied.

Bill went to sit back in his chair and started to take deep breaths. If Novis was to see him in this type of state, Bill would feel embarrassed, whenever he talked to his brother, Bill wanted his brother to have this cool image of him.

“What was all the shouting about?” Novis asked.

“Oh, that.” Bill said with a smug smile, “You will never believe what happened but the Virtual sword god accepted my friend request.”

“err congratulations I guess,” Novis replied.

Bill felt a little down by Novis’s reaction, he was hoping that now he had played VSW for a while, he would be caught up with the VSW community a bit more but clearly, by his reaction, he didn’t have a clue.

“Oh geez, you don’t even know who he is do you?” Bill said, “Come here.”

Novis then went over to Bill’s side and the two of them were currently looking at Bill’s computer screen. Bill immediately went online to show the video footage that had been shared of the so-called virtual sword god.

“So is he a really good player or something?” Novis asked

“Just watch.”

The clip Bill was showing Noivs was of the 5 vs 1 situation, it was one of the first videos that started to spread the virtual sword god’s name. As soon as Novis started watching the clip he recognized it immediately.

“It can’t be…” Then Novis looked at the username and sure enough, it was the ID Pendragon.

“Just how famous is this guy exactly?” Novis asked.

“Can’t you see the views.”

Novis started counting the number of zeros at the end of the video,

“6..7..8.. IT’S got over a hundred million views.”

Bill then started to tell Novis about what was happening with the community. How the pro teams had put out a bounty to find out who the Virtual sword god was and everything else about him.

Novis couldn’t believe what he had just heard. Just by playing a few games as Arthur and George, he had become a superstar without realizing it. Suddenly everything started to make sense to Novis, the multiple friend requests, the reason why Hastam had messaged him and everything else strange that was going on.

“Bro.. are you okay, you haven’t said a word in like the last five minutes?” Bill asked

“Yeah, I think I’m going to go sleep for a bit.”

Slowly Noivs started to head back to his room and finally laid down on his bed.

Novis didn’t feel too different after all, the attention that he was getting wasn’t actually for him but for Arthur and George, he was just a shell but what really shocked Novis was the fact that this was all happening without him knowing about it.

If he had told one person that he had another user ID named Pendragon, then his whole life would have changed. He would have been scouted by pro’s and everybody would be wanting to see Arthur’s amazing skills.

The thought of what could have happened started to depress Novis a bit. The sound of a superstar lifestyle sounded great but it wasn’t due to his work, it was due to Arthurs and Georges.

“Did we do something wrong Novis?” Arthur asked.

“No it’s not your guy’s fault, you just wanted to practice your sword skills, I guess I just never really knew how amazing you two were.” Novis said, “It feels like I’ve been taking advantage of having you two by my side for so long and at the same time I haven’t really done anything about it. I bet most people would kill to be taught sword skills from you two and here I am being taught by both of you and haven’t really gotten anywhere.”

George and Arthur’s hearts started to warm up by Novis’s words.

“Novis trust me when I say this but you are not a bad student,” Arthur said. “Although you may have your flaws, you have worked harder and progressed faster than anyone I have ever seen.”

Although Novis felt better after hearing Arthur’s words, he thought Arthur was just saying that to make him feel better. But the truth was Arthur wasn’t lying. Novis had progressed at an incredibly fast rate and Arthur couldn’t wait to see the day when Novis was at the same level as him. Perhaps surpass him one day.

With all said and done, the day was getting late and it was time for Novis to go to sleep. However, for most people, this would be a time of rest. For Novis, it was time for work.

It was time for him to train in the dream world and learn how to use his Berserker mode.
