Chapter 27: I’m VIP

--

Ken was on the ground. As the bell rang and everyone, people started walking toward the gate. Ken forced himself and stood up. As he did so, a system popped a notification in his gaze.

[2 hours left]

Ken wanted to go and eat. His meal was waiting. He was now a VIP but he knew tomorrow he would escape from work because it was his privilege.

I really did it...

He walked like a zombie, dragging his spade on the ground. He walked to where he stopped and the others were surprised he won. But he still wanted to work at this rate. People around him thought he was addicted to work.

Robert stared at him.

I didn’t even bet on him. I’m sure no one bet on him, or the person has won big... Half a month salary gone just like that.

He folded his arms and breathed out slowly. Then at that time, a lady walked with long breads clutched to her right. It was Liz. She stared at him, and instinctively, he looked behind and saw her. She said with a smile.

"The day you need money contact me."

And gave him the bread, hard as a stone. Ken hit the ground with it.

"As usual it’s hard as a rock."

Then he froze and he noticed he actually hid the hardest bread she gave him before. He took it and hit the ground with it and it shattered, but the bread was still intact.

Ken was still shocked at its hardness and thought he was actually having such armor as hard as the bread.

One day I should go and meet the person that made the bread myself.

At that same time, Ken completely ignored Liz. He was in his thoughts. As soon as he was about to thank her, she had already gone.

AND THE TIMER RAN DOWN SLOWLY.

On the other hand, in the yard, Bil waited for a long time to have dry bread with sweet water. He looked at it, disgusted by what happened to him. He destroyed the plate and the water poured down.

Bil glared at the ground, at the fragments of the plate.

I will take the position of someone tomorrow...

He removed a small stick and put it in his mouth, put his hands into his pockets and walked out of the place.

The other VIPs looked at him.

"It was a shame for him to lose to a newbie."

Another worker nodded.

"Let’s just observe what will happen next."

As Bil stepped out the gate, he removed his left hand and threw his stick away. As it hit the ground, he made a step that made the ground crack. Bil was angry. He moved to his place and started work seriously.

Meanwhile, our protagonist was waiting for the timer to drop to zero before he went.

[1 HOUR LEFT]

In the yard, Lily finally finished serving all the workers with her mom, and she walked away. And heard from the workers that Ken became a VIP slave worker. She felt happy for him. She was holding a box in a plastic. She walked toward his direction.

And at that time, Ken sat down, tired.

[10 minutes left]

Then he turned to his left, he saw Lily and she saw him. So she walked toward him, he did the same. Then he remembered the points he needed to earn. He moved backwards, and continued his work. As Lily came closer to him, he moved away, all the while working.

Lily suddenly felt weird, a little pain in her chest. She felt it. Ken looked at her like a spy. He was only waiting for the timer to stop.

And at once Lily breathed out in disappointment. As she was about to go, he grabbed her arm.

"Don’t go."

[30 seconds left]

[29 seconds left]

She turned toward him and their gazes met.

"I want to tell you something important."

But Ken was under stress because he didn’t want to lose his points in the last seconds. So he turned and hit the ground twice with power. And then he stood up slowly and breathed out the mist like a beast.

[QUEST COMPLETED]

[+100 CHARISMA POINTS EARNED]

As he saw that, he jerked toward her, and leapt approaching her. She was surprised. As that, he instinctively avoided her and he fell to the ground, with his head down.

After that he opened the box. As he was about to go, he grabbed her and said softly.

"If you weren’t here I would have died since day one... So thank you."

Lily was so glad to hear that. She walked back with a smile on her face.

At that time he saw her going.

"If I could walk with her?... But I’m a VIP, I can do that!"

Immediately, he dashed then sprinted, and the bell rang. As he arrived near to her he said,

"Today I have enough time. I can accompany you to your home if it’s possible, or somewhere where it is accessible for me."

She approached near him and her chest touched his skin. He immediately felt weird, because of the softness. Immediately, he pushed her behind. Ken stumbled and finally fell.

Lily spoke.

"I’m glad to hear that but it’s okay for me. You go and rest."

Ken looked at the ground. He touched his forehead.

"Really, she is saying the truth. I’m too tired."

He lay on the ground, looking at the sun going away slowly and the intensity of the rays reducing. He raised his right arm up, opened his hand widely, and his hand covered the sun. Then he closed it.

Can I touch the sun one day?

"It’s impossible for now."

He stood up and put a hand into his pocket with a smile.

499,800, around that is left to save the villagers... And the time is passing more rapidly than imagined.

Then he grinned and joined his fingers and cracked them together. Each finger made a sound.

"How to make the poorest race to be one of the richest and most peaceful."

He walked to where he ended.

"I don’t have time to rest... Resting is for the weak."

His eyes shone purple light color and he hit the ground. The 20th hit he made announced the end of the work.

[YOUR UNIQUE SKILL THE ECCHI KING IMPROVING]

Then the luminescent screen popped above his head.

[THE ECCHI KING]

I HAVE NOTHING AS A KING BUT THIS VIP TITLE IS THE BEGINNING.

The night crept in and he walked toward the gate with the others. And for the first time he slept on a comfortable bed, in the small house in the yard.
