Isaac walked in the snowy streets while two bodyguards were alert and suspicious of every individual who walked past him.
He went past a few stores with screens that showed today's news.
Isaac got curious and stopped walking.
Few passersby's around him also looked at the screen with curiosity.
The female News Anchor smiled and opened her mouth, ''Yesterday's White Online release was a huge success. Over 500 million copies of White Online have been sold, and it is rising! It might break 1 billion this week, which is an incredible number!''
''Young master, was that the game you tried?'' Michael asked with curiosity.
Isaac nodded, ''Yes, and I don't think it is strange for White Online to be this popular... It is almost second world after all.''
But then the News Anchor once again opened her mouth, ''But there has been a rise of complaints as well... If you are below Level 6, and you die, your account will be terminated, and you need to buy a new set of VR Helmet to play again! Most of the players think that Legacy Company is doing this to milk more money, but we had the honor to have a short interview with the President of Legacy Company.''
''Arthur, what do you think about these complaints?'' The Reporter asked with a polite and respectful tone.
Arthur's face was still tired, and he felt pretty annoyed, ''There is reason doing that... But those brainless morons can't understand that... But they will in the future. If you died before reaching Level 6, it only means that you are one of the so-called weaklings, and that world doesn't need weaklings.'' After those words, Arthur walked away, leaving a stunned reporter behind.
The News Anchor looked slightly awkward, ''Those were the words of Legacy Company's President, now for the other news...''
Isaac chuckled, ''He is a smart man...''
''What do you mean, young master?'' Michael was curious, ''Doesn't he garner more hate this way?''
Isaac shook his head, ''His words meant 'Pathetic losers dying before Level 6, you don't deserve to play the game.' His words will only make players more motivated to prove Arthur wrong.''
''You mean...'' Michael widened his eyes.
Isaac nodded, ''The ones who died at the start will buy VR Helmet once again.''
''I-It's not cheap.''
Isaac nodded, ''It's not cheap...but it is not too expensive either. Most of the people's pride won't allow being called as a weakling.''
Michael and Richard nodded thoughtfully.
''I think White Online reaches 1 billion players in a few days...'' Isaac muttered and started walking in the streets once again.
Michael and Richard were brought out of their stupor and started following behind him.
Isaac walked peacefully in the streets and reached the gates of his neighborhood one hour later.
The guards, this time opened the gates without a problem and were silent.
Shortly afterward, Isaac reached the Whitelock residence.
Michael and Richard bowed and left to do their other jobs.
Isaac entered the mansion— he put off his shoes and put his jacket on the hanger.
''Isaac?'' Isabella peeked from the kitchen.
''Hey, mom.'' Isaac greeted her.
''Again going for a walk?'' Isabella questioned.
Isaac nodded, ''Michael and Richard were with me.''
Isabella sighed in relief, ''Good, are you going to play now? Dinner will be in a few hours.''
Isaac pondered and nodded, ''I will play for a few hours, I guess.''
Isabella nodded and smiled, ''Have fun.''
Isaac nodded and ascended the stairs all the way to the fourth floor.
He entered his room and took his sweater off, and only wore his t-shirt.
''Let's see how are the others doing...'' Isaac murmured and grabbed his laptop.
He went straight to a Livestreaming platform called StreamKing.
It is currently the most popular one, and some top streamers have over a million viewers every stream.
Isaac went straight to Underlord's stream and saw his viewer rate being at 631k!
He opened the stream and started watching.
Underlord walked in the streets, but the buildings were much bigger and stylish than the Swornword village.
He was currently in the Starting City called Stronglord, located in South Continent.
There are five continents.
South, West, East, North, and Central.
Every continent has its own Starting City, and the Continent where people are summoned is not random!
In real life, there are four Continents.
Winterland, Summerland, Autumnland, and Springland.
Since Underlord is in South Continent, it means he is from Winterland.
Your Continent is determined where you live in real life.
The Stronglord city was massive, spanning over 10 kilometers.
The City was surrounded by a massive rock wall, with a height of 50 meters, and the architecture wasn't as old as villages.
The architecture was similar to the 1800s century.
There was also a proper road, not as smooth as asphalt, but still much better than a dirt road.
The City was also much larger than village, it could definitely fit hundreds of thousands of players and NPC alike.
There was a massive mountain in the City, and at the top of the mountain, there was a majestic-looking palace.
It was the Royal Palace of the Stronglord Empire.
Isaac looked fascinated as Underlord kept walking in the streets.
But then Underlord showed his stats... The stat points were hidden, but everything else was seen clearly.

Isaac watched with mouth agape.
''Waahh... He is indeed pro.'' Isaac felt amazed.
''He has hidden the Quest description as well... I guess that's smart, and the HP and stat points as well... So that no one uses that knowledge to their advantage, I guess...''
''He also has skill already... That is amazing.'' Isaac was genuinely amazed, he is sure that Underlord isn't the best player, but he is one of the most entertaining ones... But even he is Level 13... How high are the top players?
''Was he Beta Tester as well...?'' Isaac pondered— he closed the laptop and stood up.
He went to his wardrobe, opened the doors, and grabbed a box.
He put the box gently on the floor and grabbed a blue-colored helmet.
Isaac lied down on the bed and started wearing the VR Helmet.
