That’s... crazy... I didn’t think it was that exhausting, but... wow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat back down on a bench to catch his breath, then stored his sword back in the inventory and watched the sun disappear from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Of course, I need to test the skill against actual opponents. Who knows, that skill might be completely useless against actual opponents.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought, and he then pulled open the chat window with Machary and typed a quick message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fang Raon: I am heading off. Have you found any new members?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took only ten seconds for him to receive an answer back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Machary: Not yet... These fucking Helpers are so smug and arrogant. They think they are some kind of God’s gift or some shit!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon let out a small chuckle and typed back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fang Raon: Try to find Tank. I’ll handle those Helpers]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Machary: Alright. Luckily Tank’s are mostly muscle-brained idiots. I can use Abigail’s charm to win them over, bahahahaha!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fang Raon: ...Please, don’t use her like that. She will otherwise leave us :(, and we can’t afford that shit!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Machary: Fine... I won’t go to sleep until I’ve found someone. You can count on me. See you tomorrow!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Fang Raon: Cya]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, he pulled open the system interface and logged off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight neck pain, Fang Raon opened his eyes, and his vision slowly adjusted to the bright light coming from the Virtual Reality Pod machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’...I can still see... Whew.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t anymore as bad to return back to the real world because at least he could see now, but still not being able to move was jarring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I am not sweaty now, at least. I haven’t spent all day training, so I guess that’s a plus.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon thought, and then he called out, \"Chaewon,\" and a moment later, she came to the room, and opened the pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon replied with a smile, and she carried him to the wheelchair, and it looked like she was going to take him straight to the bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t need a bath today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stopped pushing the wheelchair, looked deep into his eyes, and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s too bad. You’re getting one anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon exclaimed, but then saw her smile and realized that she was joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Giggle~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon giggled, pushed the wheelchair to the side of the bed, and was about to carry him to the bed, but then he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it too late to go outside? I am feeling a little stuffed being stuck indoors for so long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Outside Megaworld?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure, I think we can do that. I’ll talk to the head nurse before I take you anywhere, but I think a short outside trip could do you some good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a smile and then rubbed his shoulders before heading out of the room to ask the head nurse for the permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Ah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Chaewon pushing his wheelchair down a sidewalk, Fang Raon inhaled the air of the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he quickly stopped, as outside air wasn’t as fresh as Black Online’s air, sadly enough. It was just way too polluted and thick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven’t seen this before, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon turned the wheelchair around, and Fang Raon stared straight at the massive Megaworld Apartments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so tall that they couldn’t even see the top that was shrouded in clouds, and it was a massive structure that covered the nearby area in all its entirety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t a city around the Megaworld—it was mostly forests with many roads leading out of the Megaworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon and Fang Raon were currently on one of the many sidewalks, surrounded by tall trees, but the sound of nature was extinct over here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the animals and wildlife had escaped the Megaworld’s vicinity, and only the rustling of leaves could be heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...It feels so oppressive when I look at the Megaworld. I never expected it to look so... dark and lifeless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a dark gray building with thousands of windows scattered about. It was basically a block-shaped structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve lived here all my life. I went to school here... and I am now also working here... This is the only world that I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a slightly melancholic tone, and then she turned to Fang Raon and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The place you came from... How is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...That feels like a distant memory, and I can’t really remember those days vividly anymore, as I’ve lived in darkness all my life pretty much, but it was peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My family—the Fang Family—lived in a small village hidden deep in the mountains. It was a close-knit community, but since the Fang family is so wealthy, that place was more like a personal paradise created by the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was nice... I miss that place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are your goals in life? Besides getting better... Going back to your family, maybe?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...To get rich.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? Hehe, I didn’t expect that from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to get better first, and then I want to live at the highest floor of Megaworld to show my father that I don’t need him to succeed in life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon looked at him silently before smiling, and then she started pushing him back to the Megaworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, since you didn’t ask, my dream is to help you get fully cured, and I will definitely succeed in that!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She proudly stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a stupid dream, Chaewon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a chuckle, but Chaewon pouted and pinched his cheek, as if she really meant it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bet my lovely caretaking was the reason you got your sight back. No need to thank me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaewon said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Thank you. I am sure that is the reason. Please, keep taking care of me, Miss Chaewon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Raon said with a chuckle, joking pretty much, but Chaewon’s eyes brightened at his words, and she smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1313,"2026-06-06T02:35:08.158Z",1,"novelbin.me","10a9f1dae5f8bc502f380d808a8ad8911255d34e24cc64fd67014c8dca104d9d","black-online-chapter-63","black-online-chapter-61",270,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fblack-online-cover.jpg"]
