Marvel Ultimate Gacha-Chapter 104: Vatican III

As Blade—whose real name was also Michael—ate his food, he couldn't help but mumble, "Satisfy is addictive."

He had originally intended to explore the world for a while before returning to his original World, Marvel, but now, he didn't want to leave just yet.

"I'll return after the first National Competition," he muttered to himself as he finished his meal and went to sleep.

After some time, Blade woke up, feeling refreshed. Remembering the excitement of the game, he quickly ate some food before logging back into Satisfy.

As he reappeared in the game, he stepped out of his room and made his way downstairs. There, he saw Valentine eating her meal while many players and NPCs watched her in silence.

Valentine was breathtakingly beautiful—perhaps the most stunning NPC in the game so far. Her beauty captivated both players and NPCs alike, yet no one dared to approach her. The tables surrounding her remained conspicuously empty, as if an invisible barrier kept people away.

Blade shrugged, unfazed, and casually took a seat across from her.

"Another fool," a player muttered.

"How long do you think it'll take before he gets thrown out?" another asked.

Earlier, when Valentine had arrived and someone attempted to speak to her without permission, she had promptly thrown them away—literally. As a princess, she carried an air of nobility, and while she acted playful and affectionate around Blade, to outsiders, her cold and distant demeanor was intimidating.

Ignoring the murmurs around them, Blade looked at her and asked, "You rested enough?"

Valentine's icy expression softened into a radiant smile, causing the hearts of both players and NPCs to skip a beat.

"Damn..." someone whispered, hastily snapping a picture of her smiling—something that seemed to be reserved only for Blade.

"Let's go after eating," Blade said, watching as she finished her meal.

However, Valentine shook her head. "Your food is not that pleasant," she remarked, standing up.

Blade chuckled as he stood as well. "Let's go then."

As the two walked together, one of the nearby players quickly uploaded the picture of Valentine smiling at Blade to the internet.

Within moments, the post went viral.

#Damn, who is this guy? How is she smiling like that?!

#The cold princess actually smiled?!

#New hidden quest? NPC romance event?!

#This guy better drop a guide on how to get on her good side.

#I swear if this is an NPC-exclusive event, I'm quitting.

The internet buzzed with speculation as Blade and Valentine left the inn, completely unaware of the storm brewing online.

Meanwhile, in the real world, James, a doctor at a hospital, was taking a break as he sat down to eat his lunch.

"Hey, James, isn't that your nephew?" a colleague suddenly asked, showing him a viral post on their phone.

James glanced at the screen and immediately recognized Michael (Blade) walking alongside an exceptionally beautiful woman. His brow furrowed slightly. "Indeed, he is," he said with a nod. But his focus quickly shifted to the stunning woman accompanying his nephew. "Who is she?" he asked, intrigued.

His colleagues chuckled. "That's exactly what the whole internet is asking."

"You don't know? She's already climbed to the top ten of Satisfy's beauty rankings," one of them explained.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

James nodded in agreement. "She's definitely worthy of that ranking."

"Do you know how many people are going crazy over this? If your nephew doesn't drop a guide on how to talk to her, players are gonna hunt him down," another coworker speculated.

James eyes narrowed dangerously hearing this. "Hah, but who would dare?"

His smile faded slightly as he leaned back. He had already lost his sister in a car accident—Michael was the only family he had left. The idea of people targeting him, even in a game, made a dangerous glint appear in his eyes.

John, one of his longtime friends, noticed the change in his expression and quickly patted his shoulder. "Hey, relax, it's just internet talk. No one's actually going to do anything," he reassured.

James scoffed. "It better be just talk, or I'll show them what happens if they dare mess with my nephew."

John sighed. James wasn't just an ordinary player. Though he played casually due to his work, he was still a member of one of the six player guild in Satisfy, they are just them sitting on this table but despite tehri small guild size each of them are in top 50 on the unified rankings- a clear show how powerful they are in Satisfy. If anyone really tried to mess with Michael, they'd have to deal with James and them too—and that wasn't a fight anyone wanted to pick.

"We're here," Blade said as he stepped out of the carriage.

Before them stood the Vatican—the headquarters of the Rebecca Church. It was a magnificent temple, radiating grandeur befitting the most powerful religion in the game.

Valentine nodded as she gazed at the gold-plated temple, admiring the elaborate goddess statue standing before the gates. "It's beautiful," she murmured, reaching out to touch it gently.

"Let's go inside, then," she said, turning to Blade.

Blade nodded in agreement and followed her through the grand entrance.

They slowly walked inside, but upon seeing the scene before her, Valentine's expression changed.

"What is this?" she asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

It was unnatural. Inside, one could see scantily dressed women attending to the Pope. The sight clashed with the benevolent image of the Goddess Rebecca. Instead of a place of holiness, it looked more like a lustful demon's den.

Last January.

Drevigo rose to the seat of 13th pope after defeating the other candidates, and revealed himself as soon as he seized power. Almost two years after he became a pope, he broke the laws to fill his own self-interests and defiled the honor of Goddess Rebecca.

The high priests were remorseful and tried to correct their mistake, but they weren't successful. Those who made any comments were demoted to temples in remote areas. Only those who didn't care and became corrupt with the pope remained at the Vatican.
