"Ami! I am leaving now! Thank you again!"
After getting the confirmation that Mike found her attractive, Isolde was really bubbly. I could understand the feeling. One of the best things about romance was finding out that it was mutual.
"You're welco, Isolde. Good luck. I hope your love bears fruit."
"Ja!" With that, the German elegantly walked out of the eting room.
Left alone, I began to wonder if I had done the right thing. Mike was, as far as I knew, single. Isolde would never love anyone else if it were not for Tristan. They had no conflict in that regard.
But sohow, I could understand why Mike was a little worried.
I an, who would want to live as a replacent for soone else? Mike was very different from Isolde's dead husband. They had been raised by different people in different cultures and probably had different values.
However, given what I knew of Isolde, I believed it would bear fruit. Anyone who could love the sa man for centuries was a woman worth marrying.
"I sincerely wish you both happiness," I wished aloud.
But I should at least tell Joshua or Phillip, right?
"Exa, please send a ssage to Joshua, Cynthia and Phillip. Assign Isolde to the 2nd Andnts White Squad. And leave them alone, any problems need to be reported to ."
[I understand Limitless, ssages have been sent].
"Thank you, Exa. I'm glad you're back."
It was a pleasure to have an assistant like Exa. I had chubby fingers, so typing almost always made retarded in online conversations. Typos and stupid autocorrect made it worse. I tried dictation, but the available software left a lot to be desired.
[As am I, Limitless. Although I was a bit surprised at how much has happened in just 24 hours.]
"Ah, well, it could not be helped. There was just a lot to do."
[Indeed. With the impact you are having on Hellsgate as a whole, I would expect nothing less.]
"What do you an?"
[The Seeker War and the promo Connie created for you have contributed greatly. As the first Formless to show a respectable level of power, many knew of you, but the hype would have died down soon after.]
Indeed. I understood that. Like catchy songs or dances, fa was usually fleeting for most people. Even if I had been the first Formless to make headlines, as soon as others achieved even greater things, I would have been overshadowed and forgotten.
[But even though other Formless achieved similar success, the Seeker War changed everything. Having a Revenant vouch for you elevated you to the status of a prince. Even more so when your battle beca an event that would affect all seven battlefronts.]
I face pald as I rembered David's video. As soone who knew how much real estate a single floor had, it was a fucking insane gamble.
He gambled entire floors as his stake; if I lost, Arica would have to give up the 25th floor at the very least, and the 25th floor would have to surrender to the 18th at the worst.
"Fuck, just thinking about the stakes makes wheeze."
[I do not bla you for feeling this way, Limitless, it is a heavy responsibility. Still, the fact that a Revenant saw your potential speaks volus].
"I guess."
[The Seeker War generated publicity on an unimaginable scale. Normally, the battlefronts had little interaction outside of the monthly enlistnts. However, David Thomas turned this one into an event that all of Hellsgate looked forward to.]
"Hmm, I guess as a common Reaper, few would care about the affairs of another Battlefront."
[Indeed. Even the Academic Group equivalents of each group do not share their research with each other. Instead, the information is circulated in the Hellsgate black markets].
"Why am I not surprised?"
Aki shared this problem with early on. Despite the gag order on my information, soone was leaking my information to others.
I had assud it was Aira, or by extension, Zach. But really, you could never know. The power of the black market could not be underestimated.
[Information about you had a premium even before the war was announced. But after it was, the price of your information tripled. In my opinion, Connie's promo did a wonderful job of misleading people.]
"I don't follow the explanation."
[Did you finish watching the entire promo?]
"Um, I didn't, I kinda tapped out due to cringe."
[Cringe? But why? Many found you inspiring. Even the comnts at Graveyard were positive.]
Graveyard was like a super app in the Reaper world. It combined YouTube, Uber, Reddit, banks and many others. In particular, its news section had a YouTube-style player where you could comnt or even tip souls.
I knew I had to watch the whole thing to see what Exa ant. So I rewatched the promo and started where I left off.
Since I already knew what I was going to say, I looked at the comnts instead.
[Snowking333: This dude is fucking cringeworthy. But how did they even manage this?]
[Masaru61: Aye, still, look at the thousands of undead! Its kind of cool and scary.]
Your adventure continues at m v|l-e'-
[Artem_Ville: Replying to Masaru61| This is a promo, they probably added those in. No way they could fit that many undead in a single zone. It already looks like a floor break. Fucking posers.]
[johnopedia: Replying to Snowking333| Co on bro, who doesn't dream of making a badass speech like that once in their life?]
[Healer312: Replying to Snowking333| Who is this bastard anyway? Why should I care?]
[Kerry_Roberts: Replying to Healer312| Dude! Black suit with red tie and uses a gun. This cat is Limitless 100%]
[Pancho_Uy: Replying to Kerry_Roberts| Really? Isn't he the one Invincible said was his son-in-law?]
[EvilLoynis: Replying to Kerry_Roberts| You serious? That loser is tapping the Untad? He's ugly as fuck!]
"..."
How was this positive? I kind of expected it, but social dia was really toxic to one's sanity. I showed them the horrors of hell and they were more inclined to believe it was fake.
"How stupid can so of these people be? It literally had my na in the title! And they still didn't know who I was. Are these guys retarded keyboard warriors or sothing?"
So of them were even more interested in my relationship with Lilly. It made my blood boil that they would even say her na, but there was nothing I could do about it.
'I wonder if there was a {Fate} that allowed you to slap soone across a screen.'
"I'm not tapping it yet, bastard. But my na is already on it," I bragged to no one in particular.
[Hello everyone! This is Connie Faye with the Graveyard News! In an unprecedented move, a new assault group called Hellsend has challenged an entire floor! We are here to investigate Limitless and Hellsend.]
"Oh? So Connie put so stuff in there?"
Connie went around and interviewed all the groups. She went around and asked them what they thought of Limitless. Surprisingly, the first person she went to was Eva Baker, a Specter.
[What do I think of the boy? Hmm. I'd say he's going to change the world.]
[Oh! You don't hear that every day! Mrs. Baker, is this your official opinion as the Coroner? Knowing the front lines, how do you think Hellsend, the latest assault group, would fare?]
[Look, girlie. You shouldn't throw the word "assault group" around so lightly. Hellsend may be powerful, but it would still get crushed on the front lines. However, if you are talking about the boy and his harem. They would do quite well.]
[You an the Seven Sirens? That is indeed a great assessnt. Thanks for your ti Mrs. Baker!]
Connie then interviewed Van, who led the Wizards, Terence, who led Freyja's Bulwark, and Wil and Tildi. All of them gave answers I hadn't expected.
