But we just talked in the game...\" Alex's brow furrowed as he stared at the message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The timing was odd, to say the least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could this be related to the upcoming attack on their mansion? He knew it was coming in 6 days (twelve in-game days), but why invite him now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the opportunity couldn't be ignored, and so he decided it was worth the detour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already the strongest player in Universal Descent anyway, missing a few hours of playtime wouldn't hurt too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Alex prepared himself, dressing in the best clothes he had, though they were still casual by most standards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A taxi pulled up outside, and Alex climbed in, directing it toward the Stardust estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a decently-long drive, Alex finally arrived in front of the 'Stardust Estate'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sprawling gates of the Stardust estate loomed ahead, intricate designs woven into the iron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, the guards opened the gates without even asking who he was, and he was guided into the house by a butler who led him to a grand living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two couches sat facing each other, and on one side were Richard and Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"!!!\" Alice's eyes lit up when she saw Alex enter, and a massive smile crossed her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked just as handsome as he did in the game, and it sent her heart racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Alex Rogue,\" Richard greeted with a calm smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, sir,\" Alex responded as he sat down opposite them, glancing between the two, \"It's... strange seeing you in real life. Though, honestly, your appearance isn't that different at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richard waved the remark aside, exhaling deeply, \"Let's cut to the chase, boy, you're probably wondering why we've called you here, after all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex nodded, leaning forward slightly, \"Yes, this is... unexpected.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richard sighed and began to tap into something in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Panels?' Alex thought, after all, they could now be used to communicate between friends in-game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And suddenly, a notification flashed before Alex's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have received a message from 'RichDad'!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\" Alex blinked, and he opened it up to find a single image attached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[An attack on your family home will happen in 2 weeks. Do not try to resist. You and your daughter will die.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chill ran down Alex's spine as he read the ominous letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no doubt—it was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're thinking this might be a prank, maybe from one of our competitors-\" Richard said, but his voice lacked conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not,\" But Alex replied immediately, his tone calm but his eyes sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Richard, knowing full well the gravity of the situation, \"Those bastards are planning something serious. I don't know all the details, but they're definitely up to something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack in their previous lives hadn't been a random occurrence, Alex realized now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richard studied Alex carefully, as if weighing the boy's resolve, \"What do you suggest? You're the strongest person in Universal Descent, at least in my eyes. What do we do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex was silent for a moment, thinking hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve days wasn't a lot of time to prepare, and the monsters they would face were immune to conventional weapons like guns and bullets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his past life, Richard had hired 500 armed guards, and they had all been slaughtered: guns were useless against these creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one real option, \"Sir,\" Alex began, locking eyes with Richard, \"Would you be willing to give us a house, one that's away from the estate, and allow Alice to live with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Richard didn't say anything at first, his gaze moving from Alex to his daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice's face flushed a deep red, her eyes wide with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Alice isn't against it,\" Richard finally said, voice serious, \"then I see no reason why not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both men glanced at Alice at that moment, waiting for her response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Well...\" she stammered, clearly trying to process the sudden turn of events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But deep down, she didn't seem opposed to the idea at all, \"I-It's for protection and I trust Alex, so o-okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is decided then,\" Richard nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some more discussion, the plan was set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Richard agreed to have a villa prepared for them by the next morning, giving Alex a safe base of operations to protect Alice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Alex was preparing to leave, Richard stopped him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have to go,\" Richard said, a faint smile playing on his lips, \"You can stay here tonight. Besides, you plan to log into the game soon anyway, don't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex paused in his steps, surprised by the offer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true, he had been thinking of upgrading his apartment eventually, but this was much better!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler guided him to a lavish guest room, complete with a king-sized bed that looked almost too luxurious to touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sat down on the edge of the bed, still trying to process everything, and Alice entered the room behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think... it's real?\" she asked softly, sitting down beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Alex replied, nodding firmly, \"But don't worry. I'll be there to protect you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alice's eyes softened, and she moved closer, wrapping her arms around Alex in a sudden hug, \"Then let's get stronger together. We'll be ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Do you want to enter 'Universal Descent'?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" they both said in unison, and in an instant, they were pulled back into the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twelve in-game days wasn't much time, but with the right preparation, he could change her fate.\u003C\u002Fp>",1212,"2026-06-03T12:12:46.833Z","2026-06-03T12:12:54.874Z",1,"novelbin.me","744985944d7e1db8ffa99eaf0c19dfb95de421947e5033dfe12f7020c54daf4a","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-33","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-31",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
