Misty World: Start with SSS skill
Chapter 8 I’ll Be Your Fear

"What the hell? While everyone is in need of food, he buys women's clothes?"

"Did the player above not see the announcement? He is Hikaru, the owner of the UR Treasure Chest. He has plenty of food, so he doesn't have to worry about it."

"It's not fair."

"Yes, it's not fair. He certainly has plenty of food."

"Hikaru, I advise you to distribute food to everyone quickly. We are all human. In times of tribulation, we must unite and share."

"Right! If you don't share the food, I will gather the other players and attack you."

"Add me more."

"Me too."

"I also want to kill that bastard Hikaru."

"Share the food!"

"Share the food!"

"Share the food!"

"Share the food!"

…

The players on the World chat channel simultaneously urged Hikaru to share the food, or else they would gather and attack him.

Hikaru seeing those idiots, just sneered and didn't care. In this world, the strong are the victor. The weak can only cry out in despair.

Hikaru thought for a moment, then sent another message into the world chat channel

…

Hikaru: "You want me to share the food? Find me. You'll have as much food as possible if you replace me."

…

"Bastard! Remember this."

"Players, let's unite and boycott Hikaru."

"Right. I don't believe that he can survive in this world after being ostracized."

"Right! Boycott Hikaru."

"Boycott him."

"Don't trade anything with Hikaru."

…

…

Hikaru said that neither because he was angry nor because he was confident in Vuni's strength. He is testing to see if other players can replace him.

In Misty World, the fog covers the entire world. In the mist, there are many monsters. The other players don't dare to leave their room, so there was very little information about this world.

Hikaru also didn't want to risk his life to learn about the world. The best way is to let other players do it.

The current players all operate independently. If they unite, they can replace information about this world.

In addition, Hikaru also didn't want to rely on his summons. He put pressure on himself so that he could keep moving forward, not standing still.

Although Hikaru has the SSS skill, the UR monster - Vuni, and Rika, his strength is the most reliable thing.

What if the other players had information about this world but didn't tell him?

Hikaru had also thought of these scenario. However, he did not believe that humans could resist temptation. What do the players lack the most? Food, Soul Points, and more, of course.

People will not hesitate to betray each other if there is a benefit.

Hikaru smiled. He wasn't afraid of the other players uniting. On the contrary, He hopes that the players quickly unite and discover more about this world.

At this moment, Vuni was staring at Hikaru and smiling mysteriously. Saraya seeing Vuni's smile felt confused but didn't know what to do.

Vuni and Saraya, of course, couldn't see Hikaru's System dashboard. Only players like Hikaru could see the System panel.Hikaru continued to check his messages, more precisely, the one from Hana.

Seeing a new message coming from Hana, Hikaru immediately clicked on it and looked at it.

…

Hana: "I think we can cooperate. I'll give you the card. You provide the food and protect me."

Hikaru replied, "You don't have the right to haggle with me."

Hana: "…"

Hikaru: "How did you create the card?"

Hana: "I…"

Hikaru: "This is the last chance. "

Hana was silent for a moment, but it wasn't long. 10 seconds later, she responded.

Hana: "I use soul points. I need 50 Soul Points to make a card. However, I need to pay 500 Soul Points to use that card. Before paying 500 Soul Points, I don't know what that card does."

Hikaru: "Hahaha, you will use those useless but expensive cards to trade for food? Is this any different from a lottery ticket?"

Hana: "I understand. What do you need?"

Hikaru thought to himself: "Bingo! The fish has taken the bait."

He rubbed his chin and thought for a long time. On the other side, Hana saw Hikaru's silence and was also very worried.

After 10 minutes, Hikaru texted a reply.

Hikaru: "I provide Soul Points for you to create cards and food and water. However, you can only deal with me alone. If you trade with someone else, I'll kill you. Wherever you are, I will replace you. If you are loyal to me, I will protect you."

Hana didn't hesitate, and she immediately texted Hikaru: "Good! I agree."

Hikaru: "You definitely won't regret today's decision."

Hana: "I hope so too."

Hikaru: "How many cards do you have right now?"

Hana: "I… don't have one. I only had 4 cards and used them to trade for food."

Hikaru: "Then I will give you 100 Soul Points and some food. Tomorrow, I will also give you 100 Soul Points, and you will give me the cards."

Hana wants to ask Hikaru what she will get in return. However, Hana thinks that she is not qualified to bargain. She needed Hikaru's protection, or else she would surely die.

Hikaru added: "If the cards you created work, I will give you a bonus. I won't cheat you , so don't worry."

Hana sighed and said: "Good! Nice to work with you."

Hikaru: "Me too!"

Hikaru manipulates the System, then gives Hana 100 Soul Points and some food. On the System, there is a function to trade everything, so Hikaru easily transfers 100 Soul Points to Hana.

Hana received food and Soul Points, feeling extremely uneasy. Hana felt Hikaru tricked her.

Hana shook her head, trying to get the thought out. She just wanted to survive. Even if Hikaru tricked her, it didn't matter. At least, Hikaru was the only one dealing with her currently.

Hana quickly used the 100 Soul Points she received from Hikaru to create 2 white cards, then sent them to Hikaru.

…

Hikaru received 2 white cards from Hana and turned off the private chat with Hana. Hikaru looked at the two white cards in the System inventory he didn't rush to use.

Hikaru continued to look at his private messages when suddenly, he saw a name and frowned.

…

Naomi: "Hikaru, is that you? Where are you? I have no food. I know you possess many resources, so please give me some food. I don't need much, just a month's worth of food."

Seeing the message from Naomi, Hikaru was so angry that he looked like a volcano about to explode. Hikaru's face showed anger. Saraya and Vuni saw Hikaru's anger and also felt bewildered.

Hikaru took a deep breath, trying to calm down. Of course, he knew who Naomi was. She is Hikaru's girlfriend. No, to be more precise, Naomi was Hikaru's girlfriend.

"Did that bitch also cross into this world?" Hikaru thought in his heart. The painful memories made it difficult for him to control his anger.

Hikaru, of course, knows about Naomi's relationship with his Head of Department - Raito.

Hikaru was in love with Naomi, but she treated him like a toy, and Naomi turned him into her dog. He even had to pay Naomi's debt of more than 100,000 Dollars.

However, Naomi never thanked Hikaru. Naomi thinks that what Hikaru does for her is exactly what he has to do. The fact that Naomi accepted to be Hikaru's girlfriend was a favor for him.

Therefore, Naomi did not feel guilty. On the contrary, she also felt that Hikaru should repay her.

At first, Hikaru was like a blind man, trying vainly to please Naomi. After that, he realized that the clown was him, so he took the initiative to break up with Naomi.

Hikaru smiled. His smile made others feel scared.

Hikaru responded to Naomi's text: "I didn't expect that you are alive."

Naomi, on the other side, saw the message and was startled. Naomi thought that the Hikaru she is texting is not the one she knew.

But then, Naomi confirmed that this was Hikaru. However, the way he spoke was utterly different from the Hikaru she used to know.

Naomi angrily replied, "What do you mean by that? What is that attitude? Hikaru, I was worried about you. That's why I texted you. Are you upset with me?"

Hikaru: "No, I'm not upset at all. Just feeling very nauseous. Let me guess, you're sharing a bed with Raito, aren't you?"

Naomi: "What do you mean?"

Hikaru: "Ah~ I didn't mean anything. Do you want food? I have a lot of food, more than 1,000 tons of food."

Naomi seeing the number Hikaru said, found it hard to believe. But when Naomi remembers that Hikaru already possesses a UR Treasure Chest, she believes that what He said is true.

Although Naomi is greedy, she is not stupid.

Naomi: "Then quickly give me food. Do you want me to starve?"

Hikaru: "If I remember correctly, you and I have already broken up."

Naomi: "Don't be too harsh. I lived with you for more than 3 years, 3 years of my youth in exchange for a little food is profitable for you."

Hikaru sees Naomi's message. And a fire burns in his heart.

Hikaru: "Good! Do you want food? Kill Raito! Cut off his head and take a picture as proof. I'll give you enough food for a month."

Naomi: "You…"

Naomi angrily tells everything to Raito. Raito frowned and said, "How dare a poor employee to talk to me like that?"

Raito didn't sit. Still, he texted Hikaru: "Do you want to die?"

Hikaru: "No! I want you to die."

Raito: "Don't let me replace you. Hide in your cage well."

Hikaru: "Hahaha… Then try not to die before you replace me."

Hikaru then blocks the messages from Naomi and Raito. Hikaru's eyes were filled with hatred and anger, and he couldn't wait to cut Naomi and Raito into pieces.

Before, Hikaru was just a poor employee, a slave of money. At that time, Hikaru was unable to fight against Raito.

But now it was different. Hikaru had power. People are afraid because they don't have the strength to fight the fear.

Hikaru thought: "I will not be afraid anymore because I will be your fear. I will replace you."
