Villains' Sisters Yearn for my Copious Mana

Chapter 14: Deal!

After going through the main gates, Max and the twins had received the system message.

[You are about to leave the safe zone.]

And by clicking on that message, Max and his girls learned what kind of dangers awaited them outside. Monsters and hidden plots weren't the only dangers looming on the horizon; even players could become hunters.

It was a particular message, for players received no damage in the safe zone. Even more, the game favored player killing, for it was rewarding.

Max whispered, "They want to encourage people to fight with each other."

The PK rewarded players with bountiful experience points, money, and one sure item drop. Moreover, the killed player would share his strongest technique with the killer, which was probably the main enticing factor to actually performing the killing.

It seemed pretty hardcore in the game world that was like the real world. But as the game grew in popularity, people would do it all for rewards and more strength.

And while many found it weird, Max and the twins didn't. That was because they knew that players would mostly learn fake skills.

Anyway, it was a time to perform some killing.

Max and the twins headed immediately to the mountain's feet next to the beginner's city. It was currently the most swarmed spot by players, for the hill was the first challenge.

Looking up, Max and the twins failed to spot the mountain's peak. Clouds teemed around it, hiding from everyone's view.

Alice complained, "If I had my strength unsealed, I would be able to eat it."

"You eat mountains?" Max teased.

Alice scoffed, "It was a metaphor!"

"And I was teasing you," Max howled as he couldn't stop laughing with this girl.

Alice tilted her head, "That's teasing?"

Zamira looked at her with odd eyes before shutting her eyelids down. She didn't want to offer any help to this girl, for she would remain hopeless even with her wisdom. But as Max and Alice opened themselves to each other, Zamira found an unexpected joy in watching over these two.

'We have been running away for too long… And then we got caught… We needed freedom and someone to rely on more than we knew. It's awesome how lil sis fails to notice it, though,' Zamira took a furtive glance at her sister, then smiled softly.

The dense forest littered the mountain. Players were amazed at first by such beautiful scenery. But then, monkeys threw various stuff at them, shattering the beautiful image of fantasy nature.

Those monkeys inhabited the forest and the mountain's peak.

Thus, the mountain's challenge was…

[Monkey King's Challenge!]

[The self-proclaimed monkey has climbed up to the mountain's peak, securing the mysterious power for himself! Now, he wants to find a worthy opponent!]

[Main objective: Climb the mountain.]

[Reward: If you beat the monkey king and secure his crown, you will own the mountain.]

[Ownership of the monkey mountain: You will get experience, income, and consumable items from every monster killed in the area.]

"This game is ridiculous," Max casually uttered while shaking his head. This many rewards for the early game quest? Those families really only thought about fighting, for everything was literally connected to it.

Zamira parted her lips, "Is it safe to seize the control this early?"

Alice asked, "Why not? We can't give up on such a good reward, can we?"

Max replied, explaining to the blue dragon, whose eyes had been muddled by her fighting desire, "Such a feat should be only possible for three families' descendants or potential players. There's a chance some descendant has secretly taken the peak for himself, waiting for a likely player.

In other words, we might expose ourselves too early. But I am also on the same train as you, Alice. Let's just fight with masks on." Max chuckled.

As for the masks, it was not a problem, for the party had to return to the beginner's city for five minutes. Afterward, they were to ready conquer the mountain.

Max and his girls went through a few player parties, not letting anyone approach them. In fact, the masks on their faces were pretty repulsive.

They were similar to metal helmets, but their material was much thinner and more fragile. Their appearance was odd and pointless, yet they were common for kids who liked to play soldiers in the beginner city.

Max and his girls simply looked comical with their beginner clothes and oddly shaped masks.

"I don't think anyone of us will find an obstacle in the monkey king's challenge. We have leveled up from the tutorial, and our skills outmatch their potential. So? Wanna see who conquers the mountain first?" Max chuckled.

Zamira nodded, "Let's make it a healthy competition."

Alica sneered, "What's the reward?"

Max replied with a smirk, "Only one person can hold the crown. We are the party and partners, however. We will share the effects of the crown evenly. But since we need a good reward, the person to conquer the mountain will get a 50% share of all experience points, income, and other rewards."

That was a good offer.

If Alice got more level, she would be able to overwhelm Max casually. Even though it would be a fake strength, even she knew that they would spend most of their time in the game world.

So it wouldn't be a pointless level up, for she would use this strength to tease him back, taking her sister for herself, just how it should be.

The poor dragon hadn't noticed how much of a change had happened in a short time. In any normal scenario, Alice would've snapped for someone else sharing her spot; only she could hug her sister, after all.

But now, Alice wanted to tease him back. Her thoughts changed so much, yet she was oblivious to them.

With pride of dragon heart, Alice puffed her ample chest, "Deal!"

Zamira rolled her eyes, not knowing how it would end up in the future. But then, Max looked into her eyes, waiting for her answer.

"…Deal," Zamira replied belatedly, for she didn't expect Max to wait for her opinion.

Some players heard their talk. They laughed as they had already tasted the mountain's challenge. It was difficult to climb with monkeys jumping around and sending their unique long projectile skills.

Yet, those masked weirdos talked about the main goal already!

How laughable!

Little did they know that their existences were utterly insignificant before twins and Max.

They soon would realize the difference!
