Fallen Fate Online

Usually, videos got a lot of views if some star, pro player, or something unique happened, so there was no way Zayne could have expected to see his fight there.

"What the hell...?" Zayne's eyes went wide in disbelief as he moved closer to the screen to examine the numbers below the video, "13,359,647... views in a few hours! How is that possible?!"

Rubia was silent, seemingly speechless for a while, as she still couldn't believe what she saw.

"Zayne... It's really you..." Rubia muttered, looking into his eyes.

"Agh... Damn, everything was going so well, but it looks like my playing career is definitely over now." Zayne shook his head, holding his hand to his forehead. He decided that now enter into the game would be closed to him because of extreme cruelty as such things usually fell under censorship.

"This is incredible!" Rubia exclaimed cheerfully and pounced on him hugging him tightly as Zayne barely managed not to drop the phone on the ground.

"Rubia, what are you doing?" Zayne frowned, trying to escape her tough grip, but she didn't seem about to stop.

"Zayne, that means you're certainly going to be okay now!" Rubia smiled broadly as she finally let go of Zayne, letting him breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't answer anything, he just gave her a questioning look with his head tilted.

"Don't you understand that? You've become the central character of the very first big news in Fallen Fate Online!" Rubia's eyes sparkled as she clenched her palms into fists clutching her chest.

"Hmm...? Are you sure? I mean...this video makes me look like some kind of crazy person, I don't like it at all. If I get any popularity, doesn't that mean I'll have a bad reputation?" Zayne asked in confusion, awkwardly scratching his cheek.

"Nah. I'm sure a lot of big people will be interested in you now. Though no one knows your full name or who you are in the real world, you can easily be found in Landow Village now!" Rubia said with enthusiasm.

"What? How do you know what my starting point is?" Zayne frowned, sensing that something was wrong.

Rubia was silent for a while before she picked up her phone and showed him the most popular comment under the video, "See? Everyone already knows where your fight took place, so it's no surprise."

"Shit... This is definitely going to be a headache... Damn, I don't even want to think about it." Zayne sighed, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling, thinking about something, "By the way, where did this video even come from? This game doesn't even have a chat, so... how?"

"Good question!" Rubia held up a finger as her eyes sparkled, "As far as I know some people who chose the blank card at the beginning had special magic stones in their inventory. They could be used to make a memory in a few minutes, then you can download them if you wish."

"I see." Zayne nodded slightly before looking at Rubia, "Which card did you choose?"

"The archer, of course!" Rubia joyfully jumped up as her blue curly hair soared upward.

"Hah, I should have known, it was a stupid question." Zayne smirked.

There was silence as Zayne put the phone aside. This news was a surprise to him, but he knew it was an opportunity that had to be taken.

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom "Zayne..." Rubia suddenly touched him as her cheeks flushed and her breath became hot. She stared intently into his eyes as if trying to see something and whispered, "I didn't know you could be so strong... I mean, the way you beat that guy was really impressive."

'What's the matter with her? I've never seen Rubia like this before...' Zayne inwardly muttered, not knowing what he should do in such an unusual situation.

Crackle.

Suddenly the door of the room opened as another nurse, a girl of medium height with long red hair, stepped inside.

"Rubia, I need to consult with you!" The girl said loudly walking forward, then she stopped as she noticed Zayne.

She looked at him for a moment, then at Rubia who was quite close to him, and again at him.

"No way... It's you Zayne! The player from Landow Village! I... I'm leaving! Rubia, I'll come back another time!" The girl bowed slightly, and ran out of the room, quickly closing the door behind her.

"What the hell was that now...? Did she recognize me? Has she watched that video yet...?" Zayne muttered with a dazed look, "Hey, Rubia, how many people play in Fallen Fate Online?"

Rubia was puzzled for a moment before she answered the question, "The developers haven't posted the stats yet, but we know that about one billion capsules have been ordered so far."

"A billion...? Has the world gone crazy? Now I know why there have been so many views in a couple of hours." Zayne shook his head, sighed, and headed for the exit.

"Hmm...? Are you leaving already?" Rubia asked with a sad look as if she didn't want to let him go so soon.

"Yeah... It looks like Mia won't be waking up today. I know it rarely happens, but I just wanted to see her. Well, I shouldn't waste any time. As long as I can play, I have to play. I'll see you later." Zayne waved a hand before leaving the room.

"Zayne..." Rubia muttered with a worried expression as she pressed her palm to her chest, "You surprise me every time, you really are unique... Well, I can wait a little longer until you work out your issues."

...

Crackle.

Zayne opened the capsule, climbed into it, and immediately logged into Fallen Fate Online. He didn't know what to expect, since he had abruptly quit the game right after the battle ended, but he knew exactly what he had to move on.

Like all players, he appeared with a blue flash in the center of the village as several messages immediately came up in front of him.

[Ding!]

[Quest - Liar Who Tells the Truth - has been completed!]

[Your fight was finished as it was decided that your opponent was a liar while you were a true hero who saved the village from the dangerous Black Wolf!]

[You gained 200 Experience Points!]

[You gained one Fate Coin!]

[You were the first one in the center of the event that attracted Fate itself!]

[You earned the Title - 'Harbinger of Fate'!]

There were more messages than Zayne could have imagined as it happened again. He just found himself in the middle of things, even though he originally had a completely different goal.

Zayne wanted to find out more information about his rewards, but that wouldn't really be the end of it.

[Massive Announcement!]

Suddenly the same message appeared in front of hundreds of players who were in the village or outskirts.

[Fate's Sight has been satisfied, so a blessing will come upon Landow Village!]

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

The next moment a ray of pale blue energy shot out from Zayne's body as it turned into a massive cloud that covered the entire village, then magical spheres appeared within the cloud from which many lightning bolts burst forth, striking the village.

It may have been a disaster for some, but all the inhabitants of this world knew that Fate's Sigh had always been fair! Lightning wasn't necessarily a disaster!
