Chapter 59: Formation?

Max wasn\'t just followed by girls, though.

Aimee\'s forces had been on his trail, too, not wanting to separate themselves from their lady. They were like ordinary people, scared and unaware of their futures.

By now, their houses were probably destroyed already. Fortunately or not, most players were unmarried or not in any relationship. That was because the dungeon was a dangerous place.

Should they die here, their beloveds wouldn\'t know the real cause, for three families would never expose mana and the dungeon\'s existence.

"Someone has entered your house\'s garden," Zamira whispered, her eyes fixed on a few ordinary people who had stepped into Max\'s house garden.

Max inferred that at least four families had invaded his garden. People here ranged from kids to the elderly, all defenseless. But within Max\'s house grounds, they found safety and relief.

Max thought loudly, taken aback by his house\'s untouched appearance, "Has grandpa secretly left some formation behind?"

Monsters avoided Max\'s house, repelled by an unknown formation that threatened to kill them should they pass the boundaries.

People in need could pass through it without any problem.

"What do you want to do with them?" Zamira asked, seemingly emotionlessly. But as she intensely stared at Max\'s expression, awaiting his words, it was clear that Zamira was curious about Max\'s next move.

After all, he was a man, and this house held many memories for him. It wouldn\'t be weird if Max got mad at people trying to barge into his house.

People with status and immense strength in the vast universe paid attention to their belongings, resorting to even killing others and their families should someone touch or steal their treasures.

Other worlds had different rules and customs; it was much wilder here.

Max shook his head, "If I were in their place, I would give my all to enter the safe zone and live for as long as possible. I wouldn\'t care about others and morals.

We just want to live the best we can, don\'t we?" Max whispered.

He might have some weird thoughts about life, but Max treasured his memories with grandpa, his teachings, and respected others. He wouldn\'t kill or kick away those people.

In fact, it was good that there was a hidden formation within his house! Max would try to expand it further, saving as many people as possible.

Zamira and Alice glanced into each other\'s eyes, looking elated. They used to be overly prideful, even more than current Alice. But being chased by dragon slayers and other existences taught them to treasure their lives.

Of course, the twins would still be cruel to their enemies and their people.

But still, Max\'s words rang much better in their ears, their hearts turning sweeter as they wanted to cuddle with him.

Other girls also looked more favorably at Max.

At last, everyone arrived in Max\'s garden.

"A-Are you humans?!" the family heads of ordinary families raised their bodies, standing at the helm to protect their beloveds. They stuttered for they were also scared for their lives.

No one wanted to die, after all.

Max and the other girls\' clothes looked too odd. They also trod as if monsters from other streets couldn\'t pose any threat to them. There was a high chance that monsters had taken human form, representing Max and others.

They were wary, hoping Max would answer them in a fluent human language.

Max sighed, taking out the keys to his house. When he bypassed normal people, they all covered their kids or their heads, looking away from him.

It was quite… distasteful… Max didn\'t like when people like them avoided his eyes, hiding as much as they could.

They weren\'t his enemies, so why should they be so scared of him?

\'Well, they can\'t trust me yet,\' Max whispered inwardly, \'It still feels sour.\'

He put his key into the keyhole, opening the door, "I\'m the owner of this house. You are safe because of my family.

No need to be scared. Kids and women should enter first, take a bath, and rest wherever possible. Men stay behind," Max said authoritatively, stepping to the side to not block anyone from entering his house.

Other girls also reached out to the ordinary people, reassuring them with their soft voices.

Sofia failed out of them all, for she had been living recently with hatred in her heart. She wouldn\'t be able to have a normal conversation with anyone other than Max, whom she deeply respected.

Anyway, kids and women finally found some peace and soft places in Max\'s house.

"Have you played the virtual reality game?" Max asked eight men, who were either fathers or sons. The younger generation nodded, clenching their hands as they could predict Max\'s next words.

There were four of them.

The other four had touched the game but hadn\'t fought or taken serious quests. Only two of them had some battle experience.

Max nodded, preparing the new skill, "You will become players through my mana. I own different energy than others, so your progress will be faster. I will also make simple skills for you to clean up the streets and find people in need."

"B-But can we do it?" A man in his early forties asked. He had severe back and heart problems, already perspiring and roughly breathing. He didn\'t look like someone who could stand on the battlefield.

And like others, he was also scared.

Max pondered seriously, racking his brain. It would be good to create a skill to summon mana soldiers or existences that he could control en masse. He wouldn\'t have to rely on people and be responsible for their deaths.

But then, Max took a different approach, "Treat it like mandatory military service. You need to know the basics. Mana will also fix your health problems, so that\'s a win in my eyes.

And as I said before, I\'m a different breed. With my mana, you might become heroes of this world," Max added.

His words kindled the young hearts of those men\'s sons, their eyes twinkling. Even though they were scared, they were ready to use their game experience to become heroes!

\'I can\'t do everything myself… I don\'t mind helping people, stabilizing the world\'s situation… But I won\'t be here for eternity… I want to see a vast universe,\' Max whispered inwardly, no longer thinking about the men\'s fear.

He lifted his hand, giving them an authentic drop of their mana.
