Chapter 162: The Sisters' Life History
"So Erika, tell us about yourself." Jennifer said, placing her spoon down.
Erika looked up at her, and calmly said: "There is nothing to tell."
"Come on now." Jennifer pouted her lips and turned to Maria. Who let out a nervous chuckle.
'This lady asking is a Gold medal holder, it would be rude not to answer, right?' She stared at Jennifer for a moment then cleared her throat. After that, she dropped her spoon on the table.
"Well... Where to start."
"Anywhere you can dear." Jennifer said with a smile, even though Michael have narrated everything to her, she wants to find out if they'll lie about their life history.
"When I was 14 years old, and my sister 16. Our parent threw us out of the house, they claimed we are grown-up girls who could look after themselves, but the truth was; they don't have enough life times to take care of two grown-up girls."
Erika stopped eating, while everyone stared at Maria in surprised. Michael wasn't bothered but continued eating.
"With Nothing to do, we both started looking for jobs, anything that can give us life times so we can survive more. Even if it's just a day of lifetime. But we were rejected, instead of those men to employ us for hard labour, they gave us a choice. My sister will have to spend a night with them, and we'll gain 10 years of lifetime. We were disgusted And left in anger...
No matter where we go, No one seems to need help. And our life times were short to one month, Mine actually, my sister's was lower--"
"--What happen then?" Mira asked in a low voice.
"With Nothing to do, we started peddling from door to door, helping a man, who was good enough to let us sell his merchandise."
Find joy in m-vlemp _yr.
"Merchandise? Like?" Tyson asked.
"Soft Drinks, Clothes, and other things. It's not the best job, but it provides us with two days of lifetime per day. We thought we could save up to be able to have an apartment, so we can move away from the Man's store, which we're sleeping in... We help him clean the place every day, then went on our job. Not only that, but we'll bring whatever we sold to him, and he'll pay us two days of lifetime.
We did this job for weeks before..." She moved her gaze around everyone on the table, Michael was still eating. She chuckled and continued:
"After one months, The man we took as a savior started acting like a pervert, he started with my sister and seeing he wasn't getting anywhere. He Turned his attention to me, I always felt uncomfortable the way he touches me, to I kept my distance from him... One night, he sent Erika away to get some goods; while he sneaked into the store to rape me...
With all his advances and knowing my sister will be away, I kept a dagger with me, when he tried to commit such a horrible act; I slashed his face, giving him a hideous scar on his right cheek to his jaw, even splitting his lips in the process--"
"That's good girl!! Thumps up!" Tyson yelled with a smile.
Maria smiled slightly. "I ran away, seeing Erika who was returning from the errand, I told her everything and we both ran away from the store under his painful screams. The man was a Platinum player back then and have a lot of contact, so we have to leave the city to Amerisa."
"Amerisa?" Jennifer was a little stunned.
"Yes, we aren't from Amerisa. Our hometown is Caroton. We thought Amerisa being the first biggest and prosperous city will have many jobs for us. A lot to choice from, But we were so wrong... Our lives took a turn from bad to hell. Facing insults, mockery and Scorns from everywhere we went to look for job.
We aren't exactly clean to receive favors, but luckily a woman who was the owner of a brothel saw us and decided to help. Seeing our hesitation, She said our only job is to clean the bedsheets, clothes and the brothel. We won't be attending to any customers. And the pay was five days of lifetime, "Per Day" We were happy, and she also gave us a place to stay. Our life slightly changed for the better...
We work in the brothel for two whole years! And she kept her word... But..."
Michael finally raised his head to her, while a slight frown appeared on Erika's face.
"One day, A wealthy Customer came to the brothel, when he saw Erika; He asked for her service. The woman refused his order, but the man was adamant, he even said if our Boss agrees. He'll give her 1,000 years of lifetime. Couldn't able to reject the offer, she pulled me to a corner and asked me to convince my sister, that I'll get 200 years of lifetime if the man is pleased."
"What did you do?" Levi asked.
"Of course we both refused, why'll my sister give away her innocence just because we are poor? The woman got angry, she gave us to choice. Whether we stay and work for her or leave her place, is in our hands. With no other option, we left the place. On that day, under the full moon, My sister changed; she wasn't always like this.
That same day; she opened her VRG account, naming herself Blood-Arrow, Just like an Arrow kills its target without them knowing, that's how she'll kill anyone who'll lust on us sisters."
Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to Erika, whose head was down again.
"Then what happened to your legs?" Mira asked.
Maria sighed deeply, upon hearing her question.
"After she started playing VRG, our lives moved from hell to Earth." She chuckled hearing her joke. "With time, we rented a small apartment, and Erika gained countless unbelievable things in VRG, from weapons, cards, and even Clothes. I was always scared and worried about her, but that all Vanished after she gained a Life Card. On her 8th game, I went out to get some groceries...
I didn't know where the car came from, even though I checked the road before crossing. All I saw next was darkness. When I woke up again, I was in the hospital, I saw the old couples who saved me that day. After some hours, Erika returned and rushed to the hospital; but she never got the chance to see those angels, Who saved and paid the bills.
The doctor revealed to us that from that day henceforth I won't be able to walk again, Erika stopped playing VRG for a whole year taking care of me. But knowing she has to play for both of us, she entered the game again. On her tenth game, she came in contact with a deadly player, who is you Michael." Maria turned to Michael with a smile.
"I'll say my sister is the best sister in the world." She placed her palm on Erika's, who gripped hers with a slight nod.
"So what about you Miss Jennifer, How did you get so powerful?" Maria asked with a smile.
