Entering Apocalypse in Easy-Mode

Agatha ran and stopped again in front of Clyde.

"Okay, I agree."

Clyde already knew that Agatha would most likely agree.

He wasn't one hundred percent sure. But Clyde realized that the look on Agatha's face conveyed an urgency about something Clyde didn't know about.

This offer seems quite important for Agatha and her World Master friends.

"You may ask after you complete my Personal Request," Agatha said.

Clyde nodded. "If I don't finish it, I won't suffer any consequences, right?"

"Yeah, but you won't receive any reward either," Agatha replied.

Clyde shrugged. "I'm fine with that."

Agatha felt a little uncomfortable with this situation.

Why does this situation seem to indicate that Clyde is the one who has the advantage to make a bargain with her? After all, he's just a Player.

But, Agatha realized that the situation was indeed true.

Right now because her Token has been used by Luccio without her permission, making her the party that needs Clyde who is just an ordinary Player to look for Tokens for her.

Of course, Clyde didn't know anything about that. If he knew what a 'Personal Request' really was, he would have demanded better.

'Besides, this must also be the first time he's heard of this 'Personal Request',' Agatha thought.

"Okay. I will complete your Personal Request," Clyde said. "How am I going to contact you once I've finished?"

"Um..." Agatha looked confused.

'She looks like she hasn't thought all this through properly and just made a decision on the spur of the moment,' Clyde thought.

Then Agatha pulled something from the back pocket of her shorts pants and held it out to Clyde.

It was a plain black ring. The ring looked simple but Clyde could see that there was gold writing on the inner ring.

"This is a valuable thing that belongs to me. I am giving it to you so you can contact me later," Agatha said.

Clyde accepted the ring. Then the ring instantly disappeared into his Inventory.

Agatha didn't give any comments about Clyde who didn't ask first whether he should wear the ring or just keep it.

As if, Clyde never intended to wear the ring no matter what.

Clyde's stomach suddenly growled. His hunger had returned even though Clyde had just finished his bread.

Agatha can't help but let out a chuckle. "Haha. This chapter is quite annoying. Have you brought any food?"

Clyde only answered with a nod.

Agatha grinned at Clyde. "I'm not sure the amount of food you have in your Inventory will be enough to keep you going. Even for a few hours."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Clyde said it with an even tone and an unbothered expression on his face. That made Agatha frown.

"Do you know what you're going through today?" she asked.

He had already fought Wendigos in the subway. But that should only give him information about the monsters he will face.

However, Clyde looked as if he already knew about the hunger he was about to face.

"I'm going to start looking for Wendigos now. You've wasted so much of my time here," Clyde said.

Clyde didn't answer Agatha's question. And because Agatha knew the urgency of this Personal Request, she chose not to waste Clyde's time anymore.

1,000 Wendigos is a lot. Even for players with a Level as high as Clyde.

"Alright. Good luck," said Agatha.

Then Clyde walked past her. Agatha stared at Clyde's back which was getting away.

'Apparently, Luccio's laziness gave me an advantage.' thought Agatha.

By meeting Clyde in person, she could make a clandestine deal like this.

And Agatha knew that the system they had for the Selection Stage was outdated so she could take advantage of it.

Agatha grinned. If this all went smoothly, then she would be able to get her revenge on Luccio after what he did to her.

But she couldn't rush things or the plan would go awry.

~~~

The double doors opened to two different sides just like before when she came out. Now Agatha has returned to the white room.

She stepped inside and let the double doors close behind her.

Luccio on the other hand was still reading the book he had been reading solemnly earlier.

"How's it going?" Luccio asked still without taking his eyes off his book.

"He turned it down," Agatha replied.

Agatha walked over and sat on the couch next to Luccio. In her heart, Agatha still felt fear when she was next to him.

Of course, she would feel scared after being chained for that long by Luccio.

The image and pain when the chains ensnared her and penetrated her flesh slowly are still fresh in her head.

She gulped. And chill run down her spine. But Agatha tried not to show anything in front of Luccio.

She tried to act normal as if she didn't feel anything anymore. After all, she was sure that Luccio wouldn't care either.

Luccio only looked up after a while. What he read in the book seemed so interesting that he couldn't hear Agatha's answer right away.

"What do you say?" Luccio asked with a frown of surprise. He closed his book with a loud sound.

Agatha looked at Luccio. "Yes, he refused."

Agatha saw Luccio's jaw tighten. That sight made her feel as if her heart wanted to jump. Agatha saw the same sight before Luccio took out his chains that time.

"What exactly are you offering him?" Luccio asked.

"As usual we offer. Skills, coins, weapons," answered Agatha.

"And he refuses?"

"Maybe he feels he can survive well with his own power," Agatha said.

Luccio clicked his tongue. "Because of this garbage system, we can't monitor him properly. We can't even see his Character Information!"

Agatha was silent while looking at Luccio. Inwardly she smiled.

Luccio wouldn't know that she just gave her Personal Request to Clyde because she did something to the system.

'This is a good start. Just wait until I rank up and I'll pay you back for what you did to me!'
