VRMMO: World's First Glyphborne-Chapter 72: My Brother’s Keeper
’Oh god no... Why? Why did it have to be this game he did it with?’
Belladonna despaired in her mind as she stared at the pair approaching her. She glanced around, wondering if there was any chance of escape, when a pair of fluffy ears bounced into her field of view.
"We finally found you, Nya~!"
Even while the Fox-kin was standing right in front of her, Belladonna refused to look at them. She was too busy digging her fingernails into her hands, resisting the murderous urges that were building up inside of her.
She turned to the Hellion, shooting them a withering gaze as fluffy ears kept bouncing beneath her eye-line.
"Why.... Just... Just Why?"
The Hellion tilted her head in a slight confusion, blushing slightly before reaching over and rubbing the fluffy ears with both hands, eliciting happy purrs from the Fox.
"Oh, Don’t be so grumpy. Just look! He’s so adorable~ How could I say no to this face?"
Belladonna let out a low, rumbling groan. She would rather have drank a thousand gallons of the lake water, than have to be in this situation right now. She could feel all the eyes on her, staring and judging.
Yes... Unfortunately for Belladonna it was the tall and muscular Hellion that was Lucy, which meant the Fox cleric making cat noises, for some idiotic reason that only he would understand, was her Brother.
It was as if they had designed their characters for each other, and then forgot to switch. But honestly, Belladonna had a suspicion Jason would do this. He always had a habit of making cute characters.
Adorable girls, pretty boys, whatever he could. It completely clashed against his real image but he didn’t care. Back in the days before he used to be famous as ’Reaper of Stars’ he played a female character. Something about such an edgy name clashing against an adorable, happy go lucky anime girl made Jason endlessly amused.
It was only after he got famous that he stopped. Everyone saw him and expected certain things of him, and the people in charge of the team wanted to push those expectations. So the ’Reaper of Stars’ became someone dark and brooding.
Necromancer or some kind of dark knight became his go to and the characters were based more on himself.
It was only when she thought about this that she realised this was probably the first time in a long, long time that he was getting to play with his sister and play as a character that he actually enjoyed making, rather than what was expecting of him.
With that understanding in mind, she let out a deep sigh and unclenched her fists before finally looking down at Jason’s character.
His supressed urges seem to have kicked his ’cuteness addiction’ into overdrive. His face was actually even prettier than hers, with more of a holy innocence to it. A perfect look for the type of healer who would get captured and cry out for the heroes help, which was absolutely on purpose.
The fluffy white ears sprouted out of some shaggy white hair, blending perfectly well with it. The only issue she had was... he was so short and petite, in certain ways, that she wasn’t exactly sure what gender he had created.
The fact he was wearing Clerical robes that was closer to a dress didn’t actually point in any direction. Jason was easily capable of making a cute male character, just to dress them up like a girl. He was strange like that.
What was actually more surprising was Lucy’s character design. The muscular, 6’3 Demoness with skimpy armour designed to show off those perfectly sculpted muscles, was nothing like the timid, short woman that Belladonna was used to when it came to Lucy.
But if her brother could play a petite girl/boy, then why couldn’t Lucy experience what it was like to be tall for once. Although, the pair of them made quite the interesting couple.
"So," Belladonna said with an exhausted glare towards Jason as she flicked his fluffy ear, "This is why you didn’t send me a friend request, huh? You wanted your little surprise to mess with me and didn’t want the name to ruin it."
"Nya~ That’s correct! Allow me to introduce you to the Cleric of the Beast God, Saige Starshine!" He performed a surprisingly good pirouette as he twirled in his white dress and threw his hands in the air, making a few sparkles of white light in the process.
For some reason, Belladonna’s murderous instincts rose up again, so she quickly turned to Lucy, who placed her hand over her chest and gave a much more subdued and normal introduction, still reflecting some of her normal habits.
"I went for Lilith Luciferous Satanael. Sounds totally demonic and evil, doesn’t it?" She said with an excited giggle that made Belladonna laugh.
"Yeah, It totally does. Well, It’s nice to meet you Lilith."
"And to you too, Belladonna." She responded with another soft laugh. Although Lucy, now Lilith, wasn’t completely new to gaming. This was her first time experiencing something so vivid and detailed.
There were plenty of times that Belladonna caught her glancing down at her legs. Even if it wasn’t her real body or even her real face. There was something about seeing her soon to be sister-in-law walking around for the first time in years that made Lilith a little misty eyed, but she kept herself together.
Nothing was more embarrassing than crying in public. At least that was what she thought.
"What about me? Is anyone going to say it’s nice to meet me? Nya~"
Belladonna flinched at the sound of another cat noise, turning to Saige with a strained smile and a slight twitch in her eye.
"You’re a fox, not a cat. Why are you making those noises?"
Saige pouted and began to play with their tail in an attempt to look cute.
"Well this race was what had the best benefits, plus it’s super duper cute! I couldn’t resist, I just had to buy- I mean, I was lucky enough to earn it. But there’s nothing more cute than a cat girl doing cat noises, so what’s the big deal?"
Belladonna laughed softly, walking over and petting his head softly, and ever so slightly clenching her fingers around his head.
"That might be the case. But If you keep that up, I will punch you." She said with a wide smile that was anything but friendly, before pulling her hand away and wiping it on her leg.
"So what are we doing first now that we are all together?"
"Well, there are plenty of quests, Nya~ We could start with one of- Ow! What was that for?"
"You were warned..."
