I slowly open my eyes seeing a flash of white then I feel pain turn my vision black and I'm unconcious once more, the second time I wake my vision is 10% clearer but I still feel a throbbing headache. I feel a cool hand slide around my neck and I realise that I'm dressed in a shirt and boxers and also smell faintly of chocolate. I look up and I see Kate's face, I smile then say "Yo". Her hand tightens and I choke, to weak to stand or even more I just choke. She leans over and says in my ear "Tell me why I shouldnt kill you". I then realise the killing intent she gives out and gulp, I lick my lips as I consider very carefully what my next words will be. I speak slowly "Aradon told me of a tournament that was going on. I was training and thought that it would be a good idea to participate, so I went and fought. After some minutes I won and was transported to a lavish reception room where I saw an old man who asked me what I wanted as a reward...". I stop and my eyes shift slightly and I see James and Aradon standing 3 feet behind Kate arms at their sides looking calm. Kate says "Keep talking". I nod slightly moving my eyes back to find her face then I continue "..I said knowledge, information of the various Daos, of creation and destruction, life and death, of gods, of the ancestors, of the various skills, arts, techniques, artificing and alchemy, I also learnt about-" Her hand moves to cover my mouth, Kate's dark aura receeds and she nods once saying "I believe you..you were out of it for a whole week and I wondered what the hell you did, you kept screaming and mumbling so we had to restrain you.." She stops suddenly a dark light flashing beneath her eyes "..If you happened to die I'd drag your soulback from the Underworld and remake you a new body..but I'd beat you within an inch of your damn life". I shiver and her hand moves back to her side, then she takes a step back as Aradon walks forward, he leans down with a smug expression on his face. He then snorts before saying "Hmph, your dumb ass didnt near die while fighting..but you did while acquiring knowledge?". My right eye twitches but I dont reply to him, instead I say 'Chin, if youre awake please punch Aradon in the face. Hard'. I hear no response for 3 seconds which troubles me then I sense a disturbance in the air as 6 figures drop from 2 feet into the air to the ground. I see the human figures of blacky, Gebu, Elle, thunder, lightning and Chin kowtowing in front of me and I think Aradon is under them. Chin raises his head but with effort I wave my hand dismissing his apology immediately. Chin's features tighten and I see sadness and regret in his pale green eyes, I move toward him with a smile on my face and say "Dont dwell on it guys, I was foolish. Shouldve taken the information in instalments and not just at once like I did". They all look up and I drag all except Chin back to their chambers. Chin opens his mouth which I close "I dont need your apology, it wa s my own stupid fault". Chin nods and I remove my hand then takes a deep breath. He stands with a calm expression n his face saying "As you wish master". Aradon who was squashed under them gets up with ruffled hair and starts muttering "Damned things you almost-hack". Chin punches him flat in the face with a full body attack and I see blood spray from Aradons nose before he collapses. I manage to put a low grade healing pill into my mouth and feel refreshed. I draw Chin back into his own chamber before swinging my legs over the side of the bed and standing up. Kate comes and takes my left arm over her shoulders and puts her right arm around my waist. I smile as I see she's 2 inches taller than me before nudging her to Aradon's prone figure. I raise my right leg releasing all of my aura and golden body to its limit. My leg descends on his stomach and I hear a soft groan from his lips. I nod in satisfaction before looking around. The room is 50 feet by 50 feet, white tiled and white walled I believe its the recuperation room.

I hear loud and rushes footsteps coming towards the healing room and my body unconciously tightens as I raise my right hand in front of me and I feel a slight warmth coursing through my veins. The figure that comes into view looks similar to Kate, but taller and more muscular. As our eyes meet the fire rune on my hand flares casting a flamethrower like skill. From where I stand a thick torrent of red flame erupts going straight for the woman. I see James' figure flash and both he and the woman disappear just as my flames connect with the corridor in my line of sight. After 4 seconds of fire magic the rune dies out and I put my arm back to my side. Kate looks at me with pure shock in her eyes and I see Aradon a few feet to my right standing also with a shocked look in his eyes. James and the woman reappear a foot in front of me and I see another notification: [Kate's older sister and James' first child. Zoe Race: Demon Lv ???. Fighter lv ??? Monk lv ???]
Zoe detaches from her father and punches my head with so much force I'm ripped away from Kate and land on the floor enveloped by weariness. The blow was so fast I couldnt react and I feel a sense of fear and anxiety envelop my body. Zoe's hands grab me and then she hauls me up my the scruff of my shirt with a dark expression on her face. She says "You brat, while this oneechan was running to check your condition you suddenly attacked me with magic!". I clap my hands in a gesture of prayer saying "Elder sister this one apologizes, I didnt mean to attack you consiously. Please forgive me". She hmph's then a cruel look appears in her eyes as she says "Alright..but you'll owe me one favour". I nod twice quickly and she lets me go telling me her name is Zoe. To that I nod once and Aradon says "Damn son. If that had been blackfyre her ass wouldve been roasted!". I glance at him showing a grim expression then turn back to Zoe who wears a sleeveless vest and khaki trousers. I see that her right arm is slightly scarred, I frown and grab her forearm most likely with more force than was expected. Multiple windows flash through my brain and I breathe in as I recall the information. Light green energy seeps out of my left hand healing her arm quickly. I let go of her arm now that its healed and turn to Aradon. I draw out 5 large blue backpacks and 20 light green backpacks from my storage and drop them on him. His form crumples and I ignore him. I turn to Kate, Zoe and James and give them each the same amount of healing pills but in the form of storage rings. Aradon gasps for air greedily as he escapes his medicinal prison. "You damned brat!! Are you tryna kill this old man? You could have given me a storage ring like you did them or drop it before me-", he abruptly stops and looks at the bags then takes in a sharp breath as he sees the colour of the bags. Blue for the highest grade healing pills and light green for medium grade healing pills. Blind rage and fury burns in his eyes as he stands and starts shouting profanities at me "YOU FRICKING STUPID ASS BRAT!! DO YOU REALIZE HOW EXPENSIVE THESE PILLS ARE AND YOU'RE GIVING EM OUT LIKE FREE CANDY!!" I turn a cold gaze on him as I reply "Hmph, if I dont give these pills to family whats the use of keeping them for myself?. I still have quite a few of each left anyway so doesnt make a difference to me" then I shrug. Aradon starts shaking, most likely with rage. After examining the pills the other three also gasp in amazement and James says "Damn...even with my skill in the healing arts it would be impossible to craft these". I grunt as I see that my clones have all disappeared then Zoe says something which shocks me so bad I almost faint "Heheheh. Kate the kid is paying us your bride price". My body grows cold with fear immediately and I feel Kate's gaze on me before she says "As I told you before you idiot. A bride price isnt necessary. Either way I've already given Jay 70% of my companies and wealth, hahaha I dont even care about wealth anyway!". I shiver again, I dont look at either Kate or Zoe but look at James "What are they talking about?" Aradon speaks up "Hah you wanna act like you dont know?!". Then he blanks before saying "Ahh, I didnt tell you did I? Your family, Kate's family, Kate and you signed a marriage contract before". Now I blank out thinking "What the....'. Angered so bad I see black auras surrounding Kate and Zoe they pounce on Aradon and start beating him up mercilessly, very soon the sound of breaking bones along with agonized shrieking can be heard and in another situation I would have laughed at him. James puts his hand on my shoulder and I see that he's smiling warmly at me. I shake my head clearing my mind then I ask "Pa, what do you suggest I do?" He thinks before saying "Hehe, well you dont really have any option but to marry her...the most I can do is delay it abit" I nod once then see that Aradon's life force is weakening drastically. I walk over to the 2 fiends and touch their backs lightly. Light green energy seeps through my hands and into their bodies; at once they become calm and stop their violence standing as one then they turn to me. Dark light flashes through Kate's eyes and she adopts a fighting stance, I quickly backstep as a growl comes out Kate's mouth "I wanted to give you 95% but father said he'd commit suicide if I did". 'Ah so its not me she's pissed at..good'. I shake my head "I dont want any of it, keep it". I attempt to smile but a hand grabs my crotch and applies pressure which makes me groan - Kate's. Her mouth is close to my ear when she says "65%" I say "40%". Kate growls deep in her throat then says "50%". I feel like if I dont accept this generosity I may not be able to function properly in future... "Deal". The pressure lessens and I sigh in relief then I see 2 notifications:

I dont know how but it seems all 3 of them must know that I was looking at their info as Kate and Zoe saunter up to me with smirks on their faces while Pa just looks bored. Zoe grabs my left hand with her right hand and her left arm wraps around my arm. Kate does the mirror opposite and I groan as Zoe says "Ho? Looking at our info? You do know that thats a breach of privacy right?" I snort in anger "Like hell! Get offa me!" Their arms tighten and I see dark, sadistic and lewd expressions on their faces as Kate leans forward and whispers in my ear "Maybe not, maybe so..but your gonna hafta reimburse us with a part of your body". Their grips tighten and I groan in pain, seeing that I give no response they grip harder until I hiss "Fine, fine, whaddya want!?" The two sisters move to the other side of the room quickly and start chattering. After about 4 seconds they come back to me with somewhat embarrassed looks on their faces. Kate says "We need help...*mutter*..." I say "I didnt catch that". Zoe says "..with an rpg laptop game". I snicker and I get punched in the stomach. I moan as I crumple to the floor. I feel a sinister presence lurking and almost whimper as I see that the sisters faces have changed into something dark and evil as they lie down to meet me eyes. Kate says "Its your duty to assist me when I need help as my husband". Zoe adds "You owe me 2 favours now. One which I'm activating now..better help me if you know whats good for you". I hurriedly accept even though I'm more of a mobile gamer...obviously I aint telling them that though. After a few seconds I recover from the punch then stand with new resolve in my eyes. 'I have acquired enough information..now all thats needed is increased cultivation, physical, magical and soul strength. Kate walks over to me again once more with a smile on her face "Hmm, whats the new aura coming off you?". I shrug and tell her to get me to a computer. She calls her sister and I follow both around the large house for a tour. After 3 minutes of walking around we reach a room 30 by 30 feet, with light blue walls and a light brown carpet. I see 5 computers lined up near the wall and get towards towards the one in the middle. I start the computer and ask both sisters for their hands. They bring them forward and I trace their palms with my fingers tuning into their auras and preferences. The background of the screen is of a nice looking valley. I stand and cup Zoe's face in my hands before leaning on my toes and leaning my forehead on hers with a soft bopping sound. I go through what memories, information and images she has of the game and then withdraw doing the same to the younger sister. Once finished I sit down logging into Kate's account. I see that she has a warrior and delete it immediately , for this kind action of mine she grabs my shirt and starts throttling me. I quickly blurt out "Warrior isnt for you, your better suited with close combat classes". She lets me go and I sit back down, then I create a monk class for her and let her customize it to her liking. Once she moves back I take a few seconds to recover from her scent before logging in. I tell them "Dont disturb me even if it appears like I'm asleep". I suck in a deep breath before I log in and the monk character appears on screen and I quickly lose consciousness as my awareness moves into the game. My body slumps to the table and my vision darkens.
***
I wake moving through a blue tunnel, a male monk garbed in flowing white baggy trousers and a slightly grey shirt. On my feet are some worn combat boots. Ok then, from what I know of this game.."Honour" has quite a few classes such as Crusader: A tank and healing class who wields a short sword and uses a shield. Priest: Full healing class. Assassin: Off tank dps character, uses traps and tricks. Warrior: Primary tank, draws aggro and protects allies. Mage: Spell caster, user of magic and the arcane arts. Monk: Close combat character, good defense and offense and with the right skills could be very good. Blademaster: Master of close combat, uses knifes, cleavers, katanas, long swords you name it. Gunslinger: Can wield one sniper rifle or 2 hand guns, excels as long range combat. Lastly Unspecialized: Basically a jack of all trades class, can use all skills of other classes but cannot choose an advanced class or subclass.
I drop down into a wide street filled with characters and Npc's (Non player characters. In other words..characters that helps players with things such as crafting gear, selling and buying items, giving out quests and so on. If you killed or attempted to kill one most likely a penalty would ensue) I walk over to an npc who gives out quests, I have to barge my way through as there are multiple people in front of me. I hear grumbling and hear a voice "Watch your step you damned stupid noob!. Who do you think you are?" then owner of said voice grabs my left forearm, a man as tall as me with a slightly muscular physique. I look slightly above his head and see his name and Name: Markus Level: 7. I snort and say "If you dont want to be incapacitated for hours I suggest you let go". Almost immediately 4 more figures emerge from the crowd and 3 of them are level 10 the last one, most likely their leader whose an evil looking man with the class of warrior is level 14, he saunters up to me and the crowd parts leaving us 5 in a circle. His gravelly voice is jarring to the ears "Brat what do you think you're doing annoying my friend?". The five of them surround me, one warrior, two mages an assassin and priest. The priest stays a little distance back knowing his own weaknesses.
