Chapter 257: Sara’s introduction
“What do you think has been implanted in big sister’s body?” Schnee asked while Remia combed her hair.
On her left, Schnee had her winged sister, whose hair was also combed by Alex. Through a fair competition, rock-papers-scissors, the positions had been settled.
Schnee couldn’t complain, and Remia indeed was better at hair combing than Alex, for she had many sisters.
Alex, Remia, and Stella pondered.
Stella whispered first, “Responsibility.”
Alex added, “Well, that came to my mind first, too.”
Schnee hummed, “I guess.”
And while these two combed their hairs, Schnee and Stella looked outside Alex’s window. They saw many different houses, cars, and people wearing unfamiliar clothes. Of course, Schnee and the girls also wore similar garments back in the Deathwill Castle. Still, for some reason, everyone wore the newest fashion clothes today.
Even Alex was surprised by how different people looked. He then thought loudly, “Oh. The school is done for the majority, so people enjoy their time now.”
That was the reason he didn’t see anyone wearing school uniforms. He smiled, then explained some stuff to his girls.
Alex also showed them his PC and his photos with homies. Of course, girls had already seen them, but it was still a nice experience.
They also took a short glance at Olivia and Alex’s photos.
Alex then glanced at the latest site he had visited before going to Avander World. His heart trembled as he realized that residents’ idea about players was… pretty much different.
No resident thought about themselves as fake people.
And that was the truth.
However, players were different. Villains openly killed people for EXP points, saying that residents were a bag of experiences for them. And it was pretty fair since players arrived from a different world to just adventure.
Yes, players owned some estates. However, the majority logged out in random places.
Thus, residents couldn’t simply accept the players’ mindset.
Alex inhaled deeply, then exhaled loudly, “Read the forums. That’s how players see you guys. And you can’t blame them.
Because we don’t have any magic here… We have just a science. There’s a vast difference between us, but players will realize the truth slowly as the barrier has already started cracking.” Alex explained.
At first, the girls didn’t understand him wholly. But after reading the forum, their expressions grew grim, and they understood him thoroughly.
On the forums, residents’ information was simply open to everyone. Many residents, mainly those popular like Martial Artists, had their private information available.
Their likes and dislikes, personalities, house address, and more. That knowledge was important to get better quests and raise friendships with them.
There was even more stuff on paid forums…
People casually put wanted lists on some residents just because they made them angry or refused to give quests. Some higher-level players took those well-paid commissions to get more real-world money.
And as Avander World introduced the real money exchange, those lists became more popular.
The girls gawked at the screen in silence.
“I don’t know what to say…” Remia whispered, trying to soothe her sisters’ feelings. But as she had conflict within her heart and apparent disgust in her eyes, Remia failed to find proper words.
Alex didn’t say anything either.
He reminded them, “The barrier between two worlds has started cracking. Your appearance here is the proof.”
Alex didn’t know that he was the only peculiar case for now.

At the same time, Sara took careful steps down.
She moved elegantly, remembering her lessons from her childhood. She had royal teachings on top of common stuff. And as Sara wanted to be a part of the Dullahan Kingdom, she paid attention seriously to everything.
Harvey and Lavinia heard her, preparing for some stuff.
Lavinia stood up, asking, “Alone? What is my son doing?!”
Harvey whispered, “Tone your voice down. Didn’t you just reprimand them for being too loud?”
He then glanced at Sara, smiling faintly, “Don’t mind my wife, daughter. She has abundant imagination and overreacts when it comes to her family.
Since it’s just us three, it’s only me and Alex who get our ears bleeding. Haha!” Harvey laughed loudly.
His wife blushed, daggering him with her eyes. After those words, she couldn’t say anything, fearing she would be too loud.
Sara smiled as well, clearly relieved after this short interaction. She was particularly touched by Alex’s father’s words, for he called her daughter already. This word held as much meaning from his lips as from her mother’s.
Thus, Sara could tell that Harvey had accepted her and her sisters as Alex’s wives.
In her time with Alex, her husband told her about his parents. And although his mother seemed strict, Sara was fond of both of them, for she also wanted to be stricter with her own daughter as well.
But as Celia didn’t have a father before Alex, Sara couldn’t be too strict with her. Fortunately, Celia was a good child, and everything seemed fine for now. However, Celia had already started showing signs of not listening to her parents!
Sara hoped to learn some stuff from her mother-in-law.
“Father, mother, I am Sara Deathwill. I’ve been with your son for a few months now, and we are in a close relationship. I don’t know how to convey how grateful I am for him to be by my side. If it weren’t for him, by now, I would’ve made so many mistakes.
I would’ve cost many lives, and I would’ve become a bad example for my daughter. Alex has grown into such a fine man because of you two. As you’ve taught him about life, I hope you will let me stay by his side, let me continue teaching him as well, and let myself still be influenced by his heart.
I swear to reciprocate his feelings for an eternity,” Sara swore an oath out of nowhere due to her stress.
It was evident from a glance that Sara had years of experience. She looked as mature as Alex’s parents. She also had a daughter. But even so, Alex had influenced her heart, helped her numerous times and allowed her to take a good path.
“D-Daughter? You already have a daughter?” Lavinia stuttered. At first, she wanted to ask about sex-related stuff, for her son was still too young. It was clear at first glance that he wouldn’t be able to hold himself back with such a mature woman like Sara.
Yet, Sara confessed that she had a daughter.
Lavinia trembled as random thoughts invaded her mind. She thought Sara would neglect her son’s children in favor of her own. She also thought that her former husband would cause more problems for them.
Those thoughts were unnecessary and pointless, yet Lavinia was indeed a woman of an abundant imagination.
Harvey narrowed his eyes before his wife said something wrong, “I believe you have no problem giving birth to Alex’s kid?”
“Of course not!” Sara stood up, putting her hand on her chest and confirming her feelings.
Harvey nodded, “It’s too late for little babies anyway. But with your words, I can sleep without worries. And with such a beautiful daughter, I’m going to flaunt about you to my co-workers tomorrow! Ah, there are three more! My son is such a blessed man!”
“Harvey!” Lavinia stood up, utterly not understanding her husband. How in the world he accepted everything related to Alex’s abundant sexual life?
She couldn’t understand anything!
Harvey chuckled, “A child is a fruit of love. But little ones often aren’t enough to keep parents together. And in no world, it’s their fault that the parents divorced.
In no world, a girl should ever stop herself from finding a new love just because she has a child.
A child shouldn’t be left without one part, let alone.
I reckon my son has at least done averagely as a father,” Harvey smiled.
And seeing that smile after such words, Sara no longer could keep her emotions in check. Tears gathered around her eyes, streaming down as she cried faintly, wiping off her tears constantly.
She wanted to reply, yet her trembling heart nearly choked her. She couldn’t speak nor properly look at Alex’s parents, for tears teemed her eyes, and her feelings clogged her throat.
“I’m… I’m sorry…” Sara whispered…
Harvey shook his newspapers, whispering to his wife, “You want me to score all good points in our daughter’s eyes?”
Lavinia was at a loss. She wasn’t dumb to not see the happiness on Sara. This lady was so relieved that it was heartwarming to look at her.
And Lavinia’s former thoughts escaped her mind immediately as if Sara’s tears dispelled them. She also felt closer to Sara, and her heart beat with an unknown love as if she had really gotten a new daughter.
Lavinia reached for a handkerchief before passing them to Sara, “What do you apologize for? If my son is below average, we can only blame this man!
I still remember him struggling to wrap Alex in diapers!”
“Haha!” Sara chuckled as Lavinia became much softer.
And next to his wife, Harvey chuckled, “At least I am good at jokes.”
“You aren’t…” Lavinia looked at him with a peculiar expression, which reminded Sara of her husband’s comical one.
