Return of Godly Control Chapter 2 part7

He expected at least a dropped item, but it did not drop an item. Laden massaged his sore leg and looked at the orc corpse. It trembled and melted, disappearing.

‘The effects are quite gross.’

It could be changed on the system configurations. If the effects were too gruesome, one could cover the wound area with mosaics or a black rectangle. There also was an option to change the blood to flowers. Laden explored the effects configurations mumbling. He left the bleeding effect as it was, and changed the melting corpse effect to make it disappear like dust. This way it was similar to Fantasia.

‘I have to catch some more slimes.’

The appearance of an orc should be a system error. Should he report it to the GM? Since he killed an orc instead of a slime in the tutorial, he should receive some kind of compensation.

“Are you okay?”

While Laden was looking for the GM call button, a voice sounded behind him. Laden jumped from surprise and turned around.

Alice was standing not too far from him. She was wearing a dress that defined her upper body and a smile on her face. Laden did not feel too surprised and only stared at her.

There was no reason to be shocked. An error occurred during the tutorial, so it was obvious to a person from the company appearing to solve the problem. However, what surprised him a little was:

“Were you a GM?”

He thought she was from the sales department. Hearing Laden’s question, Alice giggled and nodded her head.

“I am a much more capable person than you think. To put it badly, I am a slave who knows how to do a lot of different works.”

“…Well, doesn’t it mean that your work is being acknowledged?”

“I am recognized. That’s why I came here myself.”

Alice held the lower wide part of the dress and bowed her head slightly.

“An error occurred during the tutorial. First, we sincerely apologize about this.”

It really was an error. Laden stared at Alice. He was not expecting just a verbal apology. Since he suffered some grievance, he was thinking to get the maximum reward for it.

‘I’m not even a child anymore.”

22 years old, it was a young age from some point of view, but it could not be compared to his days of jung-e-byeong at the age of 15 and 17.

“Don’t I get some kind compensation?”

He asked shamelessly, but Alice did not show even a slight change of expression and answered.

“Of course, we will offer a compensation.”

Actually, Laden’s question was really shameless. Laden already had received excessive support from Alice, more accurately from Hero Company, since he started to play Valhalla. The latest V-capsule and forty million won. If someone asked to play a game with these conditions, anyone would kneel and beg to play it.

‘But that was what her party that requested me to do.’

This is this, and that is that. Laden drew a clear line. Plus, seeing Alice’s reaction, she did not seem unpleased. Laden swallowed the little embarrassment that surged.

He was essentially a bit timid.

“What kind of compensation do you want?”

Alice asked with a smile. Please, state the starting amount. Laden felt this meaning in her words, so he could not say anything.

“…Even if you say that, since I do not know a lot (about the game), it is better if you could give an appropriate amount…”

“Between a useful information and an objective reward, which do you want?”

Alice’s eyes sparkled. Laden rubbed his jaw looking her golden eyes gleaming a sliver light. He was interested in both, because if a GM said it was useful, then it must be a really useful information.

“…If it is an objective reward… What kind of?”

“How about one million gold?”

Valhalla’s currency and Korean currency could be converted in a 1:1 rate. So, one million gold was one million won. Laden’s lips widened by half.

“…Isn’t it too much?”

“This is the first time an error occurs in the tutorial. It will certainly become an issue if this were to be known. Since Valhalla has a lot of enemies, even though it was solved without much trouble, it will not be only one or two who will want to profit from questioning the security problem. From the news to the SMS, then the sales will be damaged.”

This explanation was not an exaggeration. Hearing that, Laden nodded his head slightly.

‘It is a price to keep me quiet.’

If it is like that, one million gold is rather cheap. However, asking for more is a little. But since he gained a lot of things. Laden tilted his head and requested:

“Can’t I receive both?”
