Evolution Online: Building a Kingdom with 100\% drop rate-Chapter 30: Ch-: Real World and Awakeners Association

"I may have witnessed a new age of combat and warfare take birth at this moment," Edward mumbled under his breath as he looked at Victor and then at the giant mech with awe in his voice. He could not help but entertain thoughts of the Silvernum Bloodline in the future dominating the entire world.

Not only did the Young Lord awaken as a warlock, but he could also empower his army with such terrifying weapons. But what if in the future he built even more terrifying weapons and he himself grew stronger? His face could not help but flash with excitement at the possibilities.

"Lord Victor, can you make more and equip an entire army with these... mechs?" Edward asked with excitement as everyone looked at Victor sharply and held their breath.

"Yes, I can, but to make them requires a special metal called Magisteel, which I can produce, but the raw resource is obsidian... which is difficult to find. However, I have leads on where to get a steady supply," Victor replied calmly, as he knew from his memories where he could find it.

"What? Obsidian?" Edward exclaimed, and then his face started twitching as he looked at Victor oddly and asked, "Lord Victor, where did you find obsidian in the first place?"

"I found it at the base of the Black Church when I robbed them," Victor lied. He did not want to explain that he got it as a reward, which was reserved for players.

"I see," Edward simply nodded.

"Lord Victor, can we try it?"

"Lord Victor, can we examine this magnificent creation?"

Victor looked at the blacksmiths and knights gazing at him with anticipation, but also shooting glares at each other like they were competing for the favor of a beautiful woman, which amused Victor.

"Sure, be my guest," Victor said with a shrug, leaving behind chaos as he walked back to the mansion.

"Let’s log out and register as an Awakener in the Awakeners Association," Victor mumbled as he took a deep breath.

[Do you wish to log out? Yes / No]

"Yes," Victor said, and in the next moment he vanished from his room.

Woosh.

The next moment, Victor reappeared in a small apartment room. When Victor looked around the familiar place, he was hit by a wave of nostalgia

"My old house," Victor mumbled under his breath. Before the world changed, this was his home he had inherited from his parents before they died in an accident, leaving him an orphan.

He looked at the mirror and saw that his current face and body were the exact replica of his in-game appearance. "Looks like I need to wear a mask when I interact with players in the game."

"My funds are also dry," Victor mumbled as he looked at his bank account. He was not worried, as he could just leave everything behind and live in the game world. He was currently a citizen of the United States and living in New York.

Victor opened his social media and scrolled through some posts on Facebook.

[Evolution Online gave me Super Powers!]

[Yes, you read that title right, Evolution Online gave me Super Powers!]

Hello, I am Sousa Maria Smith, a simple accountant in an accounting company like several others in Manhattan. The only interesting thing in my life was that I was one of the unlucky players who got trapped in the game, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

After I had awakened from the nightmare, I was sobbing with joy and vowed to never play any game again. But suddenly, I felt a surge of strength in my body and felt like I could tear solid steel with my bare hands. On impulse, I punched the wall, and a hole formed. I was terrified out of my mind and did not go to work, hiding in my room as I thought the government would come and treat me like a lab rat.

Everything changed when I saw the interview online, and I could proudly display my powers as one of the players who became Awakeners. I even got offers from various companies and landed many sponsorships.

If you want to see more about my life, follow me on Instagram. There I will post photos daily and answer everyone’s questions about whatever you want to know!

Looking curiously at her profile on Instagram, Victor saw that she already had more than 3 million followers.

Considering how much brands were paying celebrities to promote them on the internet, this woman could practically retire from her formal job and just live off advertising on her profile.

It really was a smart move.

From the initial 300 million players, in just a few days it had already increased to 2.5 billion, and the number continued to rise.

Victor closed the post and walked out of his apartment. The moment he stepped onto the open road, he became the center of attention as many people glanced at him, mistaking him for some Hollywood celebrity. Some even took photos, as he was even more handsome than the top models they had seen.

Victor clicked his tongue and thought maybe he should wear a mask.

The reason he did not put on any mask or seem bothered was that his new appearance was very similar to his real one. Even before the game, he had silver hair and was very handsome, but the new looks had heightened his appearance—if previously it was a 10, now it was 100.

"Right, I forgot where the association is. Let me ask someone," Victor mumbled.

"Excuse me, can you please help me with something?" Victor approached a group of middle-aged women who were chatting among themselves. Judging by their attire, they also seemed to belong to working class. At first, they frowned, thinking some man was trying to hit on them, but when they saw Victor, their eyes lit up at the sight of his handsome face.

"Oh, I’d be glad to help a hottie like you. What do you need?" asked a beautiful mature woman with a smile as he tired to flirt with Victor.

"I would be grateful if you could tell me the direction to the Awakeners Association," Victor said with a charming smile.

’Hah, my handsome appearance still has its advantages,’ Victor thought with a sigh. His looks, combined with his silver hair, made him especially attractive to women. Even though in his previous life he had been a loner, he had found it a bit easier dealing with women, and later—after becoming strong—many females wanted to be with him due to his increased charm along with strength. But he had never paid much attention, too focused on getting stronger.

"Oh, such a simple request. But before that, can you tell us your age?" asked another mature woman in a charming voice, her heated gaze fixed on him.

"I’m eighteen," Victor replied.

"Oh, you’re already an adult. Would you like to come with us? We’ll treat you to a meal," one woman said as she clung to his arm.

"Ladies, I would be honored, but I am in a bit of rush," Victor said, causing the women to look at him in disappoinment.

"Sigh, it’s a shame you’re in such a hurry. If you had time, we could’ve had a meal together," another mature woman added with a charming smile as they pointed him in the right direction of the Awakener’s Association.

"Sigh, if I wasn’t in a hurry, I might’ve gone with them. At least, even if they had ulterior motives, they were beautiful," Victor said with a smile.

He understood their purpose was likely just for a one-night stand. Even in his previous world, those who were single or frustrated from lack of attention from their partners would engage in such acts. His own first time had been in a similar way. Many Awakeners, constantly dancing with death in order to grow stronger, would simply release their pent-up stress like this, so he did not look down on such behavior.

Of course, there were also older, unattractive noblewomen who would force handsome men into such situations, which was quite common if one lacked strength or background. Victor himself had faced a similar situation once but had managed to dodge that bullet thanks to his own strength.

"So this is the building, huh?" Victor muttered as he stopped in front of a large building with a signboard that read Awakeners Association.
