VL) Chapter 4 Part 1 (Patreon)

“Alicia, you don’t need to cry.” Elara keeps saying that, but how can I not? The juiciness of this burger is just to die for!

“I could die tomorrow with no regrets.” I honstly could. This was the highlight of my life. To think, I, Alicia Mason, would be able to live to see the day when I got to eat a freshly made burger. Not just two pieces of bread and a slab of meat either. No, no, it had cheese, bacon, lettuce, pickles, and even a special sauce! The works. The king of burgers. Something only the privileged got to eat. And I was sitting here with such a masterwork in my hand and was even able to take bites of it.

The best thing was that this was no dream. This was reality. This was the world that those of tier two and above got to enjoy. A true luxury beyond luxuries! To top it off, there were even fries! Golden crispy and salty fries. “Elara, make sure you bury me well.”

“You are not dying!” Elara let out a long sigh.

“You will get wrinkles if you keep making faces like that.”

“You are the once causing my face to be this way!”

 “Then eat a burger it will cheer you up.”

“I am on a diet!”

No matter what I say, Elara seems to be exhausted for some reason. Speaking of exhausting, there was an issue with the table next to us. “Elara, why is there a lustboy next to us staring at me while I eat?”

“I was just thinking the same thing.” Elara let out a sigh.

“Should I kick him?” If I kicked him, would it hurt? I am not too sure since I do not know what these champions were exactly. From my knowledge, I do not know of any Champion named Lustboy. Then again, with a name like Lustboy, I wouldn’t want to report about him either.

“Please don’t. Let’s just finish up quickly and head home. Today has been tiring.” Elara stabbed her fork into her cake. She said she had no appetite not very long ago, but now she was eating her third double choco cake. I had two myself as well already. They were also to die for, but I prefer this rare burger that has so many meaty juices that spray into my mouth with each bite.

“By the way Elara, why would they let someone named Lustboy become a champion? Just because he is strong?” I had been very curious about this.

“Umm, I have been meaning to say this but my name is not Lustboy.” I turned to see Lustboy now standing next to our table.

“Hmmm? So you are denying the name your parents gave you? This is not right. What if you make your parents sad. What would you do then Lustboy?” I mean, if you get your name from your parents, you should keep it. Although I think his parents were able to see the future to name him Lustboy. I mean, he grew up to be pretty lusty.

“My real name is Thomas Willington, my player name is Techno Tom…” Why does he seem so desperate to deny it?

“Alicia, what is said is true that is his real name.” I blanked and looked at Elara in shock.

“So his parents could foretell the future? Where did the name Lustboy come from then?” I scratched my head and took another bite of my burger. “Screw it. I don’t care. Lustyboys are lustboys. Anyway, Lustboy, can you not spread your lustiness over here? I am trying to eat.”

“Can you please, at least call me Tom!?” Geeze, Lustboy complains a lot. Isn’t he older than me? Why is he so whiny?

“Fine! Then Tom, can you not stand there while I am eating. And stop staring at me? It’s hard to concentrate on the flavor of my food when you are glaring at me as if you want to fight.” I guess I can compromise since he asked nicely. I am not an asshole who does not give in when they should.

“I… I just thought you were very beautiful. As soon as I laid eyes on you I think I fell in…” I quickly cut in…

“I am trying to eat not watch a drama. Please go else where you wish to spout nonsense. You see this burger? It is a blessing from the heavens! It is something that can only be created by higher beings. Those inside that shop are all heavenly chefs who have prepared the finest super burger deluxe a person can buy for cheap money. If you keep rambling and stupid things how can I enjoy it?” I really just want to eat my food in peace!

“Alright. I will, find you another time. I hope we can have a longer conversation. Remember, my name is Tom! Remember, my name is Tom! Tom!” Why the hell was he saying the same thing three times? Is this how all Lustboys act? It’s very confusing. Anyway, now that Lustboy had gotten up, I could finally eat my food in peace
