Admin raising his hand in middle of open space in office which was accessible by most cubicles:
Everyone please joins me for town hall.
Admin then introduced Ethan to other system operators and told them he will sit here and is their new colleague, only very few hosts get such privilege. All the system operators looked at him with jolly expressions. He was greeted by a lot of them. Many even offered him better partnership of 60-40%. Currently Ethan and RO2 where at 50-50% partnerships.
This was already better than what most hosts got. Most hosts are in 30-70% partnership. However, Ethan is an endless exp generator. Even his 40% is plenty. Ethan rejected offers politely.
Whereas RO2 remained vigilant. Ethan mockingly smiling at this fearful buddy, enjoying his plight. Though RO2 knew well Ethan they were like brothers due to working for so long. Ethan is never going to leave him. Nor RO2 will stop supporting Ethan.
Among the people who met there was beautiful girl presumably a system operator as well she greets and meets Ethan. Codename: SO2, RO2 was constantly looking at her.
Ethan after she left and when Ethan and RO2 were only standing: Love interest?
RO2: You know I am a sigma man and no girl interest me. But yes, they do pester me. However not all can get glory.
Ethan: laughed out loud. Dude! You looked so aloof and nerdy while being stuck around with me that initially I had thought you are interested in men.
RO2 (face flushed): Don't forget who supported you.
After a moment of silence and both RO2 and Ethan laughing it off.
RO2: Ethan, I have one thing which I need to discuss. Since we have Vampire on planet Gaia (the planet where Ethan transmigrated). We should have natural predators or enemies to them. There must be something. Nature always balances. It cannot be such a powerful entity exists without any opposing force
Ethan: Intresting on, earth we had stories of vampires and the ones who stood against vampire were the natural protectors of forest but not always benevolent. Werewolves.
They were also called shapeshifter, forest guardian, some called them beast, but the most renowned name was werewolves. They were the natural enemies of vampires.
RO2: I have heard about were-beasts but never heard specifically about werewolves.
Ethan: I think that could be a solution. We can contact such a clan or may be even become one. We cannot use the heavenly poison anymore. So we needs to find alternative. The we
RO2: There are stories of were beasts in Gaia, there is a complete group of people in country of Savithan. Who worship a God called Narsimha. However, it's mythology. I don't have any real records of were beast in Gaia. However mythological records are there.
Also, from what I know were beast can go berserk and kill too many innocent people you will be ousted as a hosted. If such a situation occurs points will be stripped and even suffer from punishment. People of very high moral values are said to be perfect for being were beast since they can control their rage.
Ethan recalls, Savithan is actually Gaias version of country of India. Narsimha was a real God worshipped. Gaia was very similar to earth in terms of floura, fauna, technology and people. With names differing here and there.
Casperia was very similar to USA of earth. Jade Country of Gaia was China of Earth. Sakura was same as Japan of Earth. Continent of Euphoria was similar to continent of Europe on eath.
Ethan: RO2 I will be careful about this. I feel if we don't stop those vampire Gaia is done for. Even if I can complete a easy world and go back earth. I wont be able to sleep.
Tbh! this was not the only reason, Ethan was used to this life. He was doing well on earth as a high-level executive in fortune 500 firm. But now he was powerful beyond imagination. Though this life had pain, it was equally pleasureful as well. Not to mention he was literally an immortal if he keeps repeating regression cycle.
Ethan was a man who was used to finding "opportunity in adversity".
RO2: Ethan you have raised mountain of corpses in each of your regression cycles. Ever since the 10th cycle. You have decimated a bit more than 200 thousand people. In last cycle alone you murdered more than 15000 humans. However, all of them were resorting to extremely evil deeds and were a threat to the world.
However, if you harm the innocent after losing moral ground. It will be dangerous.
Ethan (contemplating): I know
Refrained from saying anything further.
RO2: We can start with 40th Regression cycle and this time you have special authority hence you can meet me in person and come to office.
Ethan's expression where joyous after this.
