VRMMO: Alter Online - Chapter 39

“Nice to meet you, my name is Alexa Alaxandar, the 8th Child of the Alaxandar Family” Alexa introduced herself.

“Oh nice to meet you, my name is Mark, and I know this may be rude but are you a girl or a boy?” Mark asked.

“Huh?” Alexa was confused.

“What the hell are you asking” Chris immediately pulled Mark into her arms and asked in a low tone.

“I mean, I’m having gender trust issues ever since I met you, now I’m having a hard time to tell if they are a boy or a girl,” Mark said.

Chris slapped her forehead when she heard Mark, she then turned to look at Alexa, well, if she didn’t know that Alexa was a girl, she will also get confused since she was wearing male clothes.

“She is the 8th daughter of the Alaxandar Royal family” Chris explained.

“Oh! she is from the royal family” Mark understood and stood up respectfully.

“Nice to meet you, your highness, forgive my insolent attitude earlier,” Mark said.

Alexa was surprised with Mark’s change of attitude but she just smiled, “The pleasure is all mine, Sir. Mark” Alexa returned a greeting.

“You are supposed to bow when greeting a royalty” Chris added.

“Bow to a royalty? no, that doesn’t work on us, we martial artists never lower our heads that easily, no, it was almost impossible to make us lower our heads, I met a few emperors when I was training in the mountains, and they must first prove their strength to make a martial artist lower their head but none of those emperors were able to do it” Mark said and then told them a story.

“Uhh…” Chris was speechless, she then glanced at Alexa.

“Its alright Mis-”

*Swoosh!

Chris grabbed Alexa and covered her mouth, she then dragged her away for a few meters and told some things to Alexa then they returned.

“Once again forgive my rudeness,” Chris said before standing beside Mark.

“Well, it’s fine Young Master Chris, anyway, I understand why Sir. Mark doesn’t have to lower his head, because, one of those emperors you spoke of is my grandfather, he had once told me about the martial artist, this is also the reason why I came watching you two earlier, forgive my rudeness for watching you without permission” Alexa lifted her skirt and made a standard noble bow.

In this universe, one of the most important things to the beings is the hierarchy, for example, the commoners must respect nobles, in another one, the nobles must respect the King’s royalty and King royalty must respect someone higher than them, which is the emperor Royalty and so on.

But this system is not applicable to everyone, for example, the elves, don’t have a hierarchy but they consider themselves superior to other races, there was also the beastmen who only respect raw strength, mages respect people who have a higher rank than them and cultivators respect those who have higher cultivation.

And the one different from the others was the Martial Artist because they don’t like nobility or royalty kinds of stuff as Mark said some time ago, Martial Artist lives in the most random way, sometimes they live as a commoner or even a beggar you see on the streets.

And the other thing is that they won’t give damn respect to others even if they are gods or Godkings, in the martial artist way, you don’t get respect, you try to earn it, that is their way.

That is why unless you defeat a martial artist, or do something to earn their respect, you won’t get it, Alexa had heard this from her grandfather who loved telling stories about Martial artists despite being a cultivator with high cultivation, he looks up to them, that is why Alexa was also influenced with this and decided to not take the paths of mage and cultivator but become a martial artist.

“So you want to become a martial artist?” Mark asked.

“Yes, I always wanted to be one but finding a real martial artist is almost impossible, even my grandfather said it was impossible unless I met the masters he met and their disciple” Alexa nodded.

“That is good, I’m their disciple but I just don’t teach anyone, do you play Alter Online?” Mark asked.

“Yes, I was one of the few lucky people to be able to play the game,” Alexa said.

“Oh, that means you are going to enter that school,” Mark said.

“Yes,” Alexa nodded.

“Then where are you right now?” Mark asked.

“I’m on my way towards the player Nevermore,” Alexa said shyly.

“You are traveling towards us? for how long?” Chris asked in surprise, then accidentally revealing their identity.

“Eh? Us? are you Nevermore and Nyx!?”Alexa jumped towards them and grabbed Chris’s hands and asked.

“Y-yes” Chris replied.

“Ah! to think you were the most popular players in Alter Online right now! I always watch your live stream, Nevermore is Sir. Mark right? then Nyx is Young Master Chris?” Alexa asked in excitement.

Mark and Chris answered every question of Alexa and also told them her journey towards them, Alexa has started traveling when she first saw the live stream of Mark and Chris, it was the second day of the launch of Alter Online.

She was about 30,000 blocks away from Mark and Chris, which is only 30 Kilometers but she was not able to reach them even after a long time has passed, apparently, her journey was not that easy as she died a few times in-game and also she was with some players who were also on their way towards Mark and Chris.

There were about 12 of them.

“Wow, such fans, anyway, tell me where you are and I will come and pick you all up later,” Mark said.

“Ah, yes!” Alexa became excited.

After they talked to each other for a few more minutes before Mark and Chris returned to the Sullivan building and made their way towards the game.
