Chapter 412: Get Us A Ring

The shower ran down on Fang Raon’s naked body, washing away the grime and stress of the day.

He looked at the tiled wall in front of him through the drenched hair, and then he closed the shower off.

He dried himself with a towel and wrapped it around his waist—however, before he left the shower, he walked to the sink, grabbed his electronic toothbrush, and began brushing his teeth.

Fang Raon just stared at himself in the mirror.

’Reach the 100th floor to save the humanity... What did he mean by that? What is Izan actually planning to do?’

He finished brushing his teeth, washed his toothbrush, and then put it back in a cup over at the sink.

Then.

He stepped out of the bathroom.

"...Yep, we should do that tomorrow!"

"...I agree!"

Chaewon and Della were lying on their bed—talking about what they should be doing tomorrow—then they heard footsteps.

They turned to see Fang Raon—only wearing the towel around his waist—walking towards the living room.

"Are you coming to bed?"

Della asked.

"Yes, soon."

Fang Raon’s voice echoed from the living room, and then he grabbed his phone from the charger, and he sat down on the couch.

’Izan told me that there are already reports of people discovering their superhuman strength. It’s just a matter of time before it becomes viral.’

Fang Raon looked through the social media for a while but didn’t find anything, and then he went to Netcord.

If there was something about it in his Netcord server—there were about five hundred people in the server.

It was pretty nice for a new server.

There were some viewers of his who talked about the Virtual Reality Pod X that they had purchased—they had mixed reactions about how to feel about it.

It was more expensive than the original Virtual Reality Pod, and they didn’t think that the Virtual Reality Pod X changed enough of things to justify the price increase.

’They have no idea...’

Fang Raon thought.

The current price was a bargain once they find out the truth behind the Virtual Reality Pod X.

’It doesn’t look like anybody has realized anything odd.’

Fang Raon then put his phone away and entered the bedroom—where Chaewon and Della were lying under the covers—in their pajamas.

He walked to the wardrobe, took black boxers from the drawer, and then closed the drawer quietly.

The towel dropped to the ground, and then he put it on and tossed the towel into the laundry basket.

"You can sleep naked too. We wouldn’t mind."

Chaewon turned to lie on her side, and she said playfully.

"If the two of you do that first, then so will I."

Fang Raon said with a chuckle, and then he climbed into the bed and snuggled under the covers.

Sleeping right in the middle of the two girls, and they inched closer to him, like they were seeking warmth.

"What did you do in Black Online today?"

Della asked curiously.

"...A few things."

Fang Raon said with a wry smile, but it was actually one of the most hectic days that he had ever had in Black Online.

"I reached the 36th floor, and... I leveled up. I am level 6 now."

"Really? That’s great news!"

Della said excitedly.

"That means Rose Records has four level 6 players now. That’s a lot, right? We got Della, Waylen, Rock, and now Raon."

Chaewon said.

"It’s a formidable force, for sure. We just need Raon to get to the 50th floor as soon as possible—we’d like to start climbing the floor again."

Della said.

"I will be there in a week’s time. I will do nothing but climb floors from now on."

Fang Raon said.

"Just be careful still. You must’ve noticed it, but the floor bosses from now on are quite different—you encountered Ice Elves, right?"

Della said.

"Yeah. Are all the floors like that? Miniature worlds?"

Fang Raon asked.

"Yes. On the 36th floor, you’ll be encountering Black Orcs. Do you have a party already ready for the floor?"

Della asked.

"No, but I’ll find one."

Fang Raon said.

They didn’t know, but he actually Solo Cleared the 35th floor, and he was the first person to ever do that.

There was a Floor Announcement regarding that, but from what he checked, it didn’t really cause much traction in the world of the internet.

Not every floor was that busy with players—especially the 35th floor—it was honestly kind of quiet, except for the Battle Forest.

The further he got into the tower, the fewer players there would be on those floors.

However.

The 50th floor was actually quite busy. Quite many guilds had already reached that far, and many used that floor as their headquarters.

It was the halfway point of the tower.

Fang Raon then looked left and right, and saw that the two girls were done talking—it looked like they were quite tired.

And wanted to sleep.

"There is something I need to tell you, girls."

He said.

Chaewon and Della looked at him—it sounded serious, and he looked serious—they let him speak.

"I am romantically interested in Xiao Yue."

Fang Raon said and turned to look at the ceiling—ready to get punched or whatever—but he didn’t want to keep it a secret from those two.

"...Are you serious?"

Chaewon asked with some anger.

"Yep."

Fang Raon said.

"..."

Della didn’t say anything.

She just didn’t know how to feel because she never thought in a million years that she would be sharing someone with another girl.

Whenever she was young, she had thought about the time when she was at age to get married and always imagined that she would be the only one for her partner.

Now, she was sharing him with another girl.

She was fine with it, because the alternative was not having him at all, and she liked Chaewon—she was her best friend.

However.

Now there was yet another girl.

"What if we tell you that we are not okay with that? What then?"

Chaewon asked.

"That’s fine. I will not pursue Xiao Yue any further then."

Fang Raon said with a serious look on his face.

"...Just like that?"

Chaewon asked with a frown.

"You two are the most important people in my life. I will never choose anybody over the two of you. If you don’t want me to, I won’t."

Fang Raon said.

The two girls didn’t expect such a serious and sincere answer from him, and honestly, they felt sweet and touched by his words.

"Hmph... you sweet talker..."

Chaewon turned to lie on her back, and she looked at the ceiling, and then she grabbed his hand tightly.

"We don’t have enough room in here."

She said, and what she was talking about was the apartment—as there was just barely enough room for the three of them.

"I thought about moving. I think I’ve gathered enough funds. I want a bigger apartment for us with everyone having their own room."

Fang Raon said.

"...To what floor?"

Della asked curiously.

"100th sounds nice."

Fang Raon said with a smile.

"That high?!"

Della sounded surprised.

"My mom lives on the 98th floor. We would be pretty close to her. I’d like that, but do we have enough for the rent?"

Chaewon asked.

"We have. And once I’ve reached 50th floor, while helping the guild climb to higher floors, I also plan to do some quests.

"Difficult quests from the Adventurer’s Guild.

"I just want the best for the two of you. You two deserve better than this... shitty apartment. I like the size of the apartments at the 100th floor."

Fang Raon said.

The two girls looked at him in surprise.

"Sounds nice."

Chaewon leaned her head on his shoulder, and Della rested her head on his other shoulder—their smell lingering in his nose.

"I think you should buy us a ring."

Chaewon said out of nowhere.

"C-Chaewon?!"

Della blushed furiously—as she understood what that meant—by getting the two of them a ring, wouldn’t that mean they were engaged?

"Ah..."

Fang Raon’s eyes also widened in surprise.

"I mean, we’re already living together, so it’s not like it’s that big of a deal. Or will we be stuck in the girlfriend role forever?"

Chaewon looked into his face and leaned close, her nose almost touching his cheek, and she then whispered, "What do you say?"

"I’ll... see what I can do."

Fang Raon felt a lump form in his throat as he tried to figure out what to do next.

He didn’t mind marrying the two girls, but this was indeed a huge step in their relationship.

But then he raised an eyebrow and looked at Chaewon, who was looking at him, blinking her eyes innocently.

She was like an innocent soul, but Fang Raon saw a fox, like there was more to her than met the eye.

"Do you want a ring because of Xiao Yue so that the two of you will be my fiancée while she is just a girlfriend?"

"Whaaaat..."

Chaewon said with a look of fake shock on her face—but her "whaaaat" sounded extremely fake—it was as if Fang Raon hit a nail on the head.

"But you will get us that ring, right?"

Della asked, like she wasn’t asking, but instead of ordering him to do that—and saying no wasn’t an option.

"Yeah..."

Fang Raon said, and the two girls cheered, and they high-fived each other and then snuggled under the blanket again.

"Good night!"

"Good night!"

The two girls said, and quietly fell asleep while Fang Raon stayed awake, staring at the ceiling with a tired look on his face.
