Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 130

The chitter of the many members gathered together quieted all at once. They were in their civilian clothes, but based on their youthful appearances, they must’ve been the group of low-level awakened Kaiden and co were here to help clear the dungeon.

"Kaiden?" Vaelira immediately recognized him. "Is that you?"

"Long time no see," Kaiden replied without a single ounce of joy visible in his features. He wasn’t the kind of person who would pretend to like someone if he didn’t, just so no bad feelings would arise.

"You’ve changed so much!" the blonde woman said with wide eyes and a happy smile. "A big growth spurt did you good, and even with all your clothes, I can tell you’ve been taking care of your body. It’s nice to see you again!"

Vaelira acted as if he was a friend she hadn’t seen in ages and was glad to reunite with, letting Kaiden know she was still the same two-faced bitch he knew her as.

Seeing he wasn’t very fond of meeting her again after the four years of separation since their high school graduation, she elected to keep the conversation going on her own.

"You won’t believe what happened to me! After finishing the graduation ceremony, my parents bought me a Merced*s. As soon as I sat down on its seat, I awakened! I’m an A-tier mage-type, the only one with this high of a tier in the guild. My class is called Arcane Puppetteer."

’Arcane Puppeteer… How fitting of a class for this woman…’ Kaiden thought inwardly with a dry chuckle.

It didn’t take a genius to figure out why she joined a weak guild like Nova Circuit. She could be the queen bee here, always remaining the most important person in the room. In a higher-tiered guild, she would have to contend for attention, but here, it was given to her on a silver platter. Even their guild leader was only B-tier, and Vaelira was of the Arcane subtype to boot, fitting the guild’s theme like a glove. This was the perfect place for her to continue being a nasty woman without suffering any repercussions.

Vaelira then smiled innocently. "What about you? How has life been treating you?"

"I can’t complain; all is fine."

"Isn’t this that guy? I thought Tessa was joking!" a buff man with blonde hair and blue eyes leered.

"What do you mean, Jack?" Vaelira’s question was answered with mocking laughter as multiple other men joined Jack in roaring at Kaiden. The blonde man fought hard to regain control over himself long enough to reply.

"This ’tard is one of those desperate F-tier awakened who shoot porn to make a living."

Hearing this, Vaelira turned her attention back to Kaiden, examining him in search of the truth. A big grin slowly emerged on her lips. She didn’t even try holding it back to keep up appearances. "I see… I’m so sorry to hear that."

"I don’t need your sorry. My life has never been better, I’m as happy as can be."

Replacing her grin, a grimace emerged on her features before she immediately dispatched any such gestures, though her eyes were no longer shining at him in a friendly manner. "… Is that so?" I’m happy for you then."

"But why did Tessa invite an F-tier merc? Surely someone better was available!" a redhead woman grumbled with a great deal of dissatisfaction. She was standing slightly behind Vaelira, signaling her status as her doormat.

"I heard we’re getting four additions, I’m sure the rest will be better."

"From what I know, they’re this dude’s teammates. We contracted a group called Valhalla’s Sinners instead of four individuals."

"Dang, sounds like a heavy metal band."

"… Or a kinky porn studio."

Just as the randoms were beginning to laugh and chat with each other once again, Kaiden clapped his hands together, drawing their attention to him. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kaiden Grey, I’m the leader of the group that’ll be accompanying you on today’s journey. Although we’re at a low level, we strive to become professional combatants, and our attitude reflects that goal of ours. As such, I’ll treat you people with respect, but I expect you to do the same in return. We’ll be fighting together, and our lives might depend on how well we function together."
