Conquering The Game's World

Chapter 12: Narcissist

"How can someone be so handsome?" Luis uttered, looking at his reflection in the mirror.

'Even in my previous life, I've never seen someone so handsome. Not that I am interested in guys, but I just have to mention I am very handsome.'

The maid who stood near the door seemed to have heard him. Her eyes subconsciously glanced at Luis. She nodded secretly as she admired his manly body. 'Indeed, very handsome.' She thought, but she kept those thoughts to herself.

'But it was unusual for the Young master to be so narcissistic.' Though she couldn't deny him, as it was the truth and she had no intentions of letting her thoughts known.

As the maid left, Luis was done admiring himself as he sat on his bed, crossing his leg in a meditative posture, and started practicing the mana breathing method given by his father.

Mana Breathing, as the name suggests, is the raw intake of mana from the surroundings and refining it inside the body. Although the explanation is simple, it's actually not easy, as it requires a series of steps to be followed. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

This can be used to recover the mana inside the body, or refine or strengthen the mana core.

There are several breathing methods out there, but the one Luis was following was hereditary. Only members of their family are allowed to practice it. Why? because it's stronger than normal breathing methods and mana refining is much more efficient and stronger.

Normally, the time it takes for people to learn Mana breathing methods is from a few days to a month. In the worst case, even half a year.

But who was Luis? Would he need that much time? Of course not. Because of his awesome talents, it wasn't difficult for him to start practicing this breathing method.

As his breathing became steady, his mind became calm and the mana particles in the surrounding started gathering towards him. Slowly, they entered Luis' body, traveling through the mana channels and finally into the mana core to stabilize it. It was a very slow and tedious process. Luis was getting accustomed to mana breathing.

After a few hours, he didn't have to be in a meditative state to do mana breathing. He could walk around and keep using mana breathing. He wanted his mana breathing to be as normal and casual as his normal breathing. Though it did take him some effort.

Now that he was able to do it casually, he decided to think about the other matters.

"It will be tonight."

It's been a day since his fiancee's family butler came to their mansion. Both families have made an appointment for tonight's dinner. So the talk about his engagement, which was delayed until today, will be finalized.

"I wonder who she is?" Luis had tried asking Lumine about his fiancee but he didn't get any answer from her, she even stopped Ronald from telling him.

'What kind of surprise is she planning?' Waiting in anticipation, Luis started thinking of different scenarios, running his imagination wild.

'Is the girl so beautiful that she will blow my mind? Maybe not.'

'Don't tell me it's an older woman? Nah, Luis' parents aren't that heartless towards their son. They dote on him a lot.'

'Also, even if my mental age is higher than my physical age. I won't go around chasing older women. I mean, why should I?'

'Will she be cute and cheerful type? That may be good, but I'm not good at hyping up.'

'Maybe she is smart and into research and stuff?'

'Hm? Why am I thinking about the types of heroines in The Holy Dragon Knight?' Shaking his head, Luis thought.

'There's no way it's one of them. Right? I don't remember any plot like that.'

'Well, whoever it is. I'll get to meet them tonight.'

'There's only three months left before I join the academy and also the start of the first game. I have a lot to prepare.' Although Luis thought so, he had already stopped thinking of this world as a game. After all, this world was as real as it can get.

His parents, his life, this planet, everything was real for him. So instead of treating it as a game, he preferred to use the game as a reference for his actions.

Time flew by as the sun had already set and the entire estate was brightly lit in illuminance, waiting to welcome their guest. Though it was just a dinner between families. It was an important occasion as such all the maids gave their all in preparing for the welcome and the chefs made the finest dishes they could. After all, today's guest may end up becoming their future lady. So they can't be careless (or so they thought).

Seeing that it was almost time. Luis opened his wardrobe and took out a plain suit and dressed up casually. He indeed looked formal and not too flashy. Because of his dashing looks, his plain clothes ended up boosting his glamour. It can be said the clothes did a perfect job showing off his natural charm.

"It should be fine." Looking at himself, Luis thought, 'Handsome people look good in anything.'

*Knock* *Knock*

"Luis, are you ready?"

Luis opened the door in response. Lumine stood there in front of him. She wore a green dress matching her beautiful eyes and styled her hair into braids, then folded them into a bun.

"You look gorgeous, Mom." Luis praised her, just like how the previous Luis used to. As expected, Lumine was delighted as she also looked at him carefully.

"Hm, simple and handsome. As expected of my son."

Luis smiled slightly and both of them went downstairs to see Ronald waiting for them.

"I can understand Lumine taking time to get ready. But why did you take so long, Luis?" Ronald seemed a little dissatisfied while waiting too long.

Luis was embarrassed and didn't know what to say. 'I was busy admiring myself. No way I can say that.'
