I like them big, do you?

Chapter 108: Crown Reylin

Reylin's escort to Maya's city was flawless.

Not only did others level up a few times in one day, but their proficiency with weapons also rose! Killing stronger monsters through someone else's help always added a few more points to the weapon skill tree, and it opened many paths for players.

Willian also seemed to enjoy the game more. He particularly liked how Reylin's flames deterred players from coming too close.

Naturally, a few escort groups leveraged Reylin and his group and just followed them.

It began with them absent-mindedly following William, but Reylin's flames left a safe path for them to tread.

Escort groups noticed it and awkwardly relied on Reylin.

In such a way, everyone appeared in Tathum City.

Although the ghastly mana was gone, the city's state was still poor. It wasn't possible to repair it up wholly in such a short time, and also, the lack of money was a big problem for the guild.

Fortunately, residents were ready to return to their prime and go beyond with the hero's help.

They had made a scene for William and welcomed all players with warm smiles.

Of course, they couldn't offer much, but Titiana had bought some cheap stuff from other provinces and made locals prepare snacks.

Reylin left William and went to face his two underclassmen, "Good idea with those snacks."

"Thank you," Titiana smiled faintly at him.

Her senior had already helped them enough. It would be a grave mistake should she not take any more steps toward their income, but Titiana felt like she hadn't disappointed Reylin yet.

She looked at him with relief, then Maya's loud voice piqued her interest.

The hero crossed her arms, "I was the one who initiated the snack idea."

"I bet you were just hungry and looked to regain some stamina. You are too lucky to have Titiana," Reylin sneered and patted the hero, who was already too used to his pats.

Maya trembled and let out tongue, "Don't get too ahead just because you somehow got a little advantage in sword spar!"

"Eh? It happened?" Titiana curiously asked as it sounded too absurd!

If her mind didn't pull any tricks on her, then Titiana was sure Maya had told her about Reylin's close combat training. In those words, Reylin didn't hold a sword or any weapon at all.

It was Vis, who liked the spear.

Reylin also focused on flames, so suddenly beating Maya in swordsmanship sounded too abnormal.

'Perhaps he used to wield a sword in the past?' Titiana thought inwardly while Reylin explained his dungeon run.

Hero trembled more, "I want to do the dungeon too! But we have too much work with the city! Eh! I will vent out all feelings on bad players!"

"Oh? How is the hunt going?" Reylin asked with slight interest.

Maya still hunted those players who had betrayed her in the Guild Competition. She didn't give up, and she swore to kill all of them at least once. Some were quite annoying as they ran all the way to other kingdoms, though!

"Not bad!" Maya pouted as she replied.

Her eyes expanded as William entered the room, "W-William!"

Titiana also had the same reaction as William's music touched her heart.

Two girls stared at him shyly, "N-Nice to meet you."

"It's my pleasure," William smiled brightly at Reylin's underclassmen.

Reylin casually said, "How are those NPCs? Will they do?"

Singers had powerful voices, but the music was as influential.

Reylin paid a few NPCs who knew how to hold instruments and passed them notes for William's concert.

As William was a versatile singer, he had a few songs that needed a little music.

William nodded, "I don't really need much. I also checked whether there are players or residents with music magic but to no avail. I guess I should fill that gap myself? What do you think of the solo tour, Reylin?"

"You still would need a few bodyguards," Reylin sneered.

"Hmmm... I don't mind cute bodyguards around," Wiliam sneered as well.

These two looked so similar that Titiana screamed inwardly.

Unlike the hero, she had her initial thoughts about this whole event and Reylin's background. 

Maya really believed in that 'holiday's friend' version.

In Titiana's eyes, Reylin was also the crown, and it would explain everything.

After all, those Crowns were always successful.

Should they lose, they would return with another victory that easily eclipsed their defeat. That was how good they were.

"No one can call you Wiliam Wannabe anymore, Reylin! Hehe!" Maya was herself, and she ignored the similarities.

Besides, she was genuinely happy for Reylin.

William saw through her, "Take a photo."

"Is it really okay?" Maya asked.

After William nodded, Maya used the system and took a photo of the two.

She passed it to William through the system, and her finger slipped at the end! Maya sent a friend request to William, who accepted it with a smirk.

[Crown William has become your friend.]

Maya stared at her system while William shifted his eyes to Reylin.

He said, "I will send it to mother. She will like it."

"Tsk," Reylin clicked his tongue...

He promptly saw Titiana trembling and her lips parting.

That older brother of his said those words deliberately.

William inferred that at least one of the two underclassmen had to be unique in Reylin's heart. Otherwise, his younger brother wouldn't have asked for help!

He also didn't want Reylin to stay away from their surname and be just himself.

Reylin punched William, and the singer dropped onto his knees, "It's been a while..." William whispered while hugging his stomach.

Maya and Titiana shivered, and even the hero understood the relationship between Wiliam and Reylin.

She didn't believe it, and saying his full name out loud was still hard.

However, both Titiana and Maya inwardly said it. 

At that moment, Reylin felt a spark on his finger.

He looked down at his hand and found nothing but warmth.

'Was that feeling because of them?' Reylin glanced at two girls, who had flinched under his gaze.

He didn't understand that feeling, but a rough idea bloomed within him.

He didn't want to believe in it or this game's system.

Nonetheless, it was another big step toward Reylin's ambition, and he wouldn't ignore it.

"It's time to sign. Have fun on stage, William," Reylin turned his eyes to his brother, stressing out his name.

It would be so much better if he called him older brother after such revelation, but William knew it was nothing but a dream.

He stood up and patted his clothes, "Time to have some fun."

William's concert was an important day for Maya and her guild.

However, Blue Rose Kingdom had also noticed the players' movement.

Each royalty developed different thoughts about that, and Brand also leveraged their worries.

He and his heroes also had a problem with mini-bosses, however.

The Faynom World never stopped.

Events surged, and players fought!

After William's concert, Reylin said, 'Fuck it all', and went to have fun with Aria, however.

It looked like he had enough of those events, but going here was the start of another, quite big event.

The Dark Matter's Kingdom Event.
