Respawn

Chapter 16: Kindness in Darkness

"I apologize if it might have offended you. As you can see, I am new to this world and have no idea what the Watanabe clan is. What does it mean to be a Watanabe family member? " I came up with the question. Her happy expression changes to a sad expression. I don't think it's appropriate for me to ask her that question. "It's fine, Madam, if you don't want to respond," I stated. She gave us a forced smile and replied, "No, that's fine. I'll explain it to you, and I want your questions answered. ". "The Watanabe clan is a well-known group of people with ninja blood pouring through their veins. They've been known as incredible ninjas for over 2500 years, and their clan names have been passed down through the centuries. Having Watanabe's blood will grant you tremendous speed that no ordinary player can match. They'll also have tremendous jumping ability and agility. The Watanabe clan is well-known and regarded as one of the most powerful clans. When her father became a legend, the Watanabe family became even more well-known. " We were all taken aback by what we heard. We can't believe our friend Saki is a legend's daughter.

"She is a legend's daughter? Legends are people who are regarded as the best and most powerful in a certain game, "I stated. It's no surprise that their family has become more prosperous. They are famous, powerful, and wealthy enough to live in this world. Her mother said, "Yes, her father is a legend in the game of Hide and Seek." Hide and seek is a game I've never heard of before, but it sounds like a juvenile game to me. "It is a game in which two groups compete against one another. The seeker and the hider. The hiders will hide, while two seekers will seek out the rest. When a seeker assassinates a hider, they are changed into a seeker. Her father has an aptitude for assassinating the hiders, "she said.

Their family is pretty frightening. I assume they're all expert assassins of other players. Saki should continue her father's heritage by following in his footsteps. "Saki should also play hide-and-seek! She has all the makings of the next legend! " I stated. Saki's killing skills, as well as her incredible talent and speed, will undoubtedly make her a legend known around the world. "I wish my kid would do that, but she refuses to play hide-and-seek with her father. She avoids her father at all costs and refuses to contact him. She also doesn't want to be a part of her father's game, and she has no plans to perpetuate Watanabe's dominance in Hide and Seek. ", explained by her mother

"She can be a jerk at times. Your clan's pride would be ruined and destroyed by her, "Yuu said. I don't believe she is jeopardizing their clan's honor. She most likely has her own rationale. "Well, as long as she has her freedom, I don't worry if she destroys our clan's prestige. We desperately want her to find a spouse so that he can have a kid, and her son can carry on my husband's lineage, "she stated. Saki must be under a huge amount of pressure, which is why she wishes for death to exist in this world so that her tribe will not be burdened by the pressures and expectations of others. Saki's mother notices Tori's eyes when she looks at her. "Your eyes are stunning. Are you a hacker? ", she enquired.

When she sees Tori's eyes, she is serene and doesn't appear to be worried by the presence of a hacker. Tori said, "I'm not." I'm scared she'll have her guards arrest Tori and take her to the higher knights. "Please take her word for it. She isn't a hacker in any way," I beg. She kept her cool and continued to drink her tea. "Don't be scared. I'm not going to report her, and I sense that your remarks are genuine and free of deception. Because you are a friend of my daughter's, I will think about it. So, you're a blasphemer? ", she enquired. "Yes, I am," Tori responded, nodding her head. "However, I do not recall the wrongdoings I committed before."

She doesn't pass judgment on Tori's predicament, and she doesn't respond the way the rest of the village does when they encounter a sinner. "Just be cautious when you're outside your house because strangers may do you harm. I'm not going to pass judgment on you since the Gods can be cruel and inhuman at times. Your prior self is unlikely to regret committing that transgression, and she is unlikely to wish to be labeled a sinner in her next existence, "she stated. I admire the way she communicates and her efforts to comprehend others. Saki is also very attentive to others, something I believe she learnt from her mother.

Tori expressed her gratitude by saying, "Thank you for your understanding." Tori's head was patted, and she said, "Saki's friends are like my own children. I'll always understand you, and I'm truly surprised that I've encountered a sinner ". I'm curious how she'll respond if she discovers I'm a sinner as well. Is she familiar with the world's mysteries? Is she able to respond to some of my queries about the world's never-ending death? She is the wife of a legend, so she might know something. Their ancestors are well-known, and they are likely to be privy to some of the world's secrets. I'm frightened to ask about this since I'm worried, I'll be killed if I do. "Are you aware of any of our world's secrets? " I posed the question to her.

"What are our world's secrets?" "Yes, we know a little about some of the mysteries in our realm," she responded after a brief pause. She only knows a few of the secrets, but I believe it will still contribute to my self-discovery. "What is the cause of death's never-ending cycle? Who runs the world? " I inquired. Yuu put his hand on my shoulder and said, "Stop bothering her with such inquiries. That is something I believe she should not reveal to others". "The reason for the never-ending death is still unclear," she remarked solemnly, "but I believe it is really beautiful to live forever with your loved ones." This world is extremely unfair. It primarily benefits the wealthy, but it is hell for the majority of people.

Because of their money, I believe they don't need to play and endanger their lives all of the time. The reason they're playing is to keep their clan's name in the public eye. There appears to be no equality in this world. "I believe I can respond to your second question. Yes, you are correct; there is someone in charge of the world, and I believe he is the person you should approach if you have any questions about it, "she stated. If there is someone in charge of the world, why isn't he doing anything to stop the cruelty that is taking place and why isn't he trying to solve and explain the truth to everyone?

"Who is he? Is he a deity? " I inquired. I need to talk to him, to ask him some questions about our world and who I truly am. "He isn't completely God, but he is treated as such. The issue is that he is rarely seen by ordinary people, and even legends like my husband haven't seen him in person. Vertxander is his given name, "she stated. He isn't a God, but he is treated as if he is. That's strange. If he's not a God, there's no reason to treat him as if he's superior to others. "Where can I go to see him? How do I approach him? " I inquired. "You can't because he's not interested in talking or entertaining other players. Only the moderator has access to him," she explained.

"He's not God, yet he's treated like one? What makes him unique? " I inquired. I think finding Vertxander will be difficult, and I'm not sure what the moderators imply or who they are. "It is said that he possesses God's blood. He is God's son. He built the majority of the structures in this world with the help of selected moderators, "she clarifies. Then I suppose I should try to meet the moderator first, and then see Vertxander in person. The term "moderator" refers to someone who is above the royal blood, legends, and upper knights. They are more than likely someone whose sole responsibility is to design and construct this world.

I open my hologram and search for his name, which I find. "Oh, my goodness, he's here!", I said. "Since he is still a gamer, you can search for him in your hologram," she said. His profile appears to be that of a regular gamer, and there is even an option to add him as a friend. I press the add friend button, hoping he'll accept my invitation. "Has your husband ever communicated with a moderator?" I came up with the question. "What about my spouse? Yes, he has previously spoken with a moderator, but they are not close friends and only communicate when they are attempting to report a hacker. " He clarifies his position. In this world, hackers are genuinely ruining the game. They're most likely seen as a nuisance and mediocre players.

"I guess I'll just follow Saki upstairs," Yuu replied after finishing his tea. "Yes, of course. Please feel free to contact me "Saki's mother expressed her thoughts. Tori and I were left with Saki's mother by Yuu. Finally, I have an understanding of this world, and while I believe I am still a long way from knowing the truth, I have made progress. Soon, I shall discover the truth about this world, and I will put a stop to the suffering that people experience.

Yuu’s POV

Takahashi and Saki's mother are discussing an issue that I find extremely irritating. It is something that is both meaningless and unworthy of discussion. Is it true that Vertxander, together with his moderators, is in charge of the world? He didn't even save his people from their never-ending misery. All he did was build and erect structures around the globe. What a dunderhead of a creator. Instead of only focusing on creating things, he needs to focus on so much more. I became like this as a result of him and his ignorance. I had no choice but to assist others because I feel that, as a powerful individual, I should use my abilities to serve others.

If I ever find that individual, I will kill him repeatedly until he realizes how much anguish he has caused others. I made a mad fist, but then I noticed Saki staring at me. I took a deep breath and put on a phony smile in front of her. "Oh, you're here. Hello, Saki! "I stated. She has an expression on her face as if she is pondering too much. "I noticed you clenching your fist when you smiled at me. You don't have to hide your rage because you're mad. Allow others to see it, "she stated. I couldn't help but laugh at her and said, "This is who I truly am. I'm not the type of person that has a demon's heart. I am forgiving and eager to assist others. There's just one person I'll never forgive ".

"Someone you won't forgive? Despite the fact that you claim to be forgiving, you make an exception, "she stated. She'll never understand why I'm fighting and what I'm fighting for. She will never comprehend my past or who I truly am. "Well, it's a difficult thing to express, and I believe that individuals are simply fighting for something that may be bad in the eyes of their adversaries. People aren't necessarily wrong. They merely hold different beliefs. I have my own convictions and a sense of fairness that I believe is correct. " I explain. To me, everyone in this place is priceless. I admire and believe that everyone's life is lovely.

"Stop acting as if you're a saint. I know you're a good person, but there's something wrong with you. I don't have proof, but you're not the kind, sweet, protective, warm brother that everyone expects of you. I sense a great deal of rage in your heart, a desire for vengeance, "she stated. I guess I can't lie to her. Her senses are truly amazing, and she is a true Watanabe member. "So, why do you still trust me?" I inquired. "I can tell your heart is dark, but there is kindness in the midst of it. It is a bright white in the dark with pure intentions, "she stated. I'm overwhelmed by the way her senses describe my soul. I looked up at the sky and sighed, "Yes, you are most likely correct. I have good intentions and would like to serve and assist the less fortunate. I believe that they do not deserve the cruelty that the world has inflicted on them, and I am willing to become a villain if it means that I will be able to give these people a better life. "
