Novel Bin Chapter 33 Alice Is Not Beta!
Chapter 33: Alice is not beta!
While Max and Zamira got closer, Alice was outside the house.
It was her first time alone in the new world. And that world was nothing like other worlds with so much questionable stuff around her. People casually threw themselves into metal boxes, their houses and shops flashed with harsh lights, and people also talked to themselves openly while keeping phones close to their ears.
"Wouldn\'t it be better for you to go outside with your friends and talk?" Alice asked openly, not wanting to hide her thoughts.
Although the phone was something she liked, she found it weird that people preferred to talk with others through it instead of having a meeting. Alas, Earth was such a peculiar world, and many people didn\'t have time for themselves, let alone others.
It was already good that they kept in contact with some people through social media.
Alice didn\'t know anything about that, so she put her hands on her waist, shaking her head at everyone around her.
Of course, her beauty gathered some attention, for \'alpha\' males teemed around her. They smelled like crap with an overdose of deodorant and other stuff. Some even had cigarettes in their mouths, sucking on them heavily.
Their clothes also looked annoying with hoodies on and some chains around them. Compared to Max, who wore various shirts and jeans, those guys seemed annoying.
"Hey, sexy girl. Looking out for some fun?"
"The alpha you have been looking for has come."
"Hehe."
"Alpha?" Alice asked, not knowing what those guys exactly meant. But as they made a comparison between beta and alpha, explaining some stuff, Alice burst out laughing, swatting them all away.
She puffed her chest, "So I am beta for being sweet to my sister? Losers! Fuck off!"
"What the hell you talking about-" A wounded dude called Alice out, yet he got muted by Alice\'s stomp.
And after those words, Alice fished for her phone. She turned on the map app, then guided herself to the closest grocery shop. She had problems finding some stuff, but a lovely old lady helped her.
She then paid through phone, for that belonged to Max indeed.
After happily leaving the shop with a bag full of stuff she and her sister liked the most, Alice skipped home. She even used an alley for a shortcut!
And that was when Alice noticed something out of place.
A man with a broken VR Helmet made his way toward her. He walked while flailing his hands, whispering something beneath his nose. His murmurs were so low that Alice couldn\'t understand him.
He was like a zombie, yet he was a human with mana weirdly coursing through him.
He seemed wounded, for blood dripping down his head. Blue veins sprouted around his temple, going down his face to his chest. And as he limped his way forth, it didn\'t seem like he would aim for Alice\'s head.
Alice didn\'t move, having her guard high. She would react immediately should this man try something funny!
But as she had predicted, the man just went past her.
"Dungeon… Dungeon… Dungeon…" he was so close his whispers reached Alice\'s ear. It was not surprising for a human with mana to search for the dungeon. But as Alice knew the three families\' control over them and their players, she found the man\'s appearance weird.
She crossed her arms carefully to not waste food in her shopping bags, "So weird… His appearance looks like someone hit by the side-effect of playing too much fake game!"
Alice was always slow with her thoughts, but she was far from stupid.
She was actually on the spot, for this man was someone wounded by the fake world! A side-effect that was caused intentionally by someone.
Of course, the man acted like a weirdo and wouldn\'t expose Alice\'s race, for he looked too unstable. Alice planned to let him go and tell Max and her sister about her finding. Yet, the situation developed in the worst way possible.
BANG!
A silver light fell from the sky. That light turned into a woman with long black hair and blue eyes, her body coated in mana. She was in her late twenties, wearing office clothes that held her voluptuous curves.
Alice\'s eye twitched as she inwardly thought, \'Have I fucked up by going outside alone?\'
The unknown girl killed the man in one move. She removed her hills from the man\'s dead body, then used some strange technique to erase all blood and flesh.
She shifted her eyes to Alice, who had been staying as if nothing had happened. Of course, it might seem like a stupid move, but Alice knew that this girl had noticed her before and that she wouldn\'t let her escape.
Thus, if Alice moved using her fantasy strength, she would expose her mana.
Alas, she already revealed her status with something else…
The black-haired woman whispered, "Your heartbeat is normal. You haven\'t even blinked after I killed this man. You don\'t show any reaction that an average human would\'ve already revealed.
Who are you?" the lady\'s silver mana erupted from her curves, wrapping her in its embrace, raising her strength and speed.
Alice bit her lips, looking away from the girl, "Ah… How scary… You are a killer… Police? Hello? Police!"
"I will take you with me," the girl whispered before pouncing at Alice, which was a stupid move.
Alice reacted too fast for the black-haired girl to see through her movement. She lifted her hand, striking the girl\'s forehead with her draconian palm strike.
"Ahhhh!" the girl screamed as she felt all her body\'s fluids going out of control. She felt like some unknown hand squeezed her body, her flesh ripping apart due to this unknown pressure.
It was too much for her, so she lost consciousness.
Alice stared blankly at the girl, "I should take her back home. The more, the merrier. Alpha Max will like it."
Alice didn\'t know she would get the similar treatment she had given to the \'alpha guys\' for calling Max such a word.
For now, she focused on secretly bringing this girl home.
And thus, the blue dragon\'s first grocery shopping ended with her buying stuff and picking up a girl!
What would her second adventure end like?
