Viktor inwardly let out a tired sigh as he turned around on his seat to surprisingly see a short and skinny eighteen-year-old boy standing before him with a daunting gaze.

“Buttkiss? Who is that?” Viktor asked with a confused expression while wondering what kind of luck he had for his parents to give him such a name.

“It’s not Buttkiss! It’s Butkus, yo!” A vexed voice came from behind the slim boy, and Viktor saw a fat, tall eighteen-year-old boy coming forward with a darkened expression.

Obviously, he did not take kindly to how Viktor said his name, and his figure only made him look older and intimidating. However, his face had a cute look that made him look quite harmless and young.

‘Who in the hell gave him the title “Little”? But maybe his parents did give him an apt name…’ Viktor mentally shook his head but seeing his blob-like figure and round and chubby face, he felt that his name did him justice.

Viktor smiled, and as he slowly got up, Butkus and his friend slowly had their gaze moving up till Viktor’s height even crossed Butkus’ eye level.

Butkus never expected this slim guy to be this tall, but still, he kept his chest puffed up.

Viktor was 190cms tall, whereas Butkus was 185cms tall, so there was still a marginal difference in height between them.

Viktor felt that with how tall and fat Butkus was, he weighed over 100 kg at least.

Viktor couldn’t take these two seriously even if he wanted to since they looked like a comedic duo, especially when the two seemed to be trying their best to put up intimidating expressions to scare him.

Viktor scratched his head and asked, “Oh, Butkus. Sorry about that. Are you two perhaps here for the tournament?”

Butkus and his friend glanced at each other and replied, “Of course. Why else would we be here? Actually, we have one more friend with us, and together we three are even named as the ‘Unstoppable Trio’ by our fans since once we stepped into a server, then we would be unleashing a bloodbath on our own. Players tremble just at the mention of our IGN.”

Butkus said with a beaming smile as his friend nodded along.

“IGN? What’s that?”

Butkus exchanged glances with his friend as the two looked at Viktor with a strange look.

“What?” Viktor asked with a slight headshake.

“Dood, you seriously don’t know what IGN means? I mean, you play games, right?” The skinny boy asked with a puzzled look.

“Uh…yes, I do. But I have never played this game. So I am quite new to all the jargons associated with it,” Viktor said with a shrug and asked, “So what does it mean anyway?”

Butkus and his friend had their jaws slack as they looked at him with a baffled look.

“Yo, IGN means in-game name or the nickname which you use for your character in a game, or for that matter, any game. But still, if you have never played this game before, how did you even get in here? You couldn’t possibly be playing in the tournament, are you?” Butkus asked with a raised brow as his friend also eagerly perked his ears.

Viktor dryly chuckled as he waved his hands, “No. Of course, not. I am just accompanying my cousin there.”

Viktor pointed towards Tiana, who seemed to be discussing something with her team while shooing away some boys who came over to try and talk to her.

Her smoking hot figure was like a magnet that attracted the attention of every man who saw her and couldn’t help themselves from glancing at her figure every now and then.

Butkus and his friend saw them as well when they followed the direction in which Viktor was pointing towards.

Butkus and his friend had their eyes go wide upon seeing Tiana and the girls sitting around her.

“Yo, Skinny Jim, are you seeing what I am seeing?” Butkus asked as his chubby cheeks quivered with a strange excitement.

“Dood, that’s what I wanna ask you. Is that team, The Wildcats?” Skinny Jim asked in a tone of disbelief.

“That team with the tagline, ‘Lethal Cats You Don’t Wanna Mess With’? Sure…it must be…look at the animal symbols on their masks. One is of a jaguar, the other a leopard, then a cheetah, and the ‘cousin’ this guy is pointing to has the famous icy tigress symbol on her mask. The fifth is missing, but I think she should be coming soon with the cougar’s face as a symbol on her mask,” Butkus explained in a zealous tone, his eyes sparkling at the very sight of those girls.

“That white tigress symbol…isn’t she the girl with the hot and sexy voice and broken skills?”

“The Snow Queen! Oh my god…they are really the Wildcats, and the Snow Queen is just ten feet away from us! She’s my favorite! I literally downloaded her config, and heck, it was game-changing!”

“Dood, you are not the only one. I literally watch her every stream and, I even donated 500 bucks just last week. Phew, it was a pain to give away my pocket money but was worth it to at least receive a thank you from her behind the screen,” Skinny Jim said with a pained stare.

Viktor had a blinking expression seeing these two fanboying over Tiana and her team. He wondered what made these two become her ardent fans.

“Sigh…I wish I could see her face…no…all their faces…they all must be hot beauties…” Skinny Jim said with a wistful gaze.

‘Phew…these two are hopeless…’ Viktor sighed as he mentally shook his head.

“Yo, are you really the Snow Queen’s cousin??” Butkus asked with a fevered expression as he grabbed Viktor’s arms.

“Ah, I am being rude. What is your name? You already know mine, and you can call my friend here Skinny Jim or Skinny Jimmy or…”

“Or Darth Reaper!” Skinny Jim interjected with a proud smile as he continued, “That’s my IGN. Cool, right?”

Viktor chuckled and said, “Well, nice to meet you two. I am Dorian, and as of now, I don’t have any IGN.”

“That’s fine. That’s fine. We can even help you come up with one. But in the meanwhile, can you introduce us to your cousin over there or at least get her signature or something? We will just be happy with a simple ‘Hello'”, Butkus excitedly asked as he grabbed onto Dorian’s arm while looking at him with expectant eyes.

Skinny Jim also nodded with a pleading look.

Viktor felt amused by their expressions which looked no different than that of kids who were eagerly asking for a favor despite how grown up they were.

He decided to humor them, but at the same time, he felt that these two were going to be disappointed, considering how he could expect Tiana to respond.

“Hey Buttkiss and Skinny Jim, get your asses over here!”

A rude voice came from behind, and Viktor looked behind the two to see a tall and burly young man looking twenty or so walking forward with an unfriendly expression. He even had a thick beard and mustache that made him look older.

Butkus and Skinny Jim shuddered at his voice, and like scared rabbits, they turned around.

Viktor was surprised to see these two scared, especially Butkus, who was bigger than the guy who shouted at them.

Butkus forced a smile as he said, “Of course, John. Yo Dorian, catch ya later.”

Skinny Jim also nodded at Dorian before turning around to leave.

Viktor now realized that these two were not here to participate in the tournament but to be like helpers to players like John and the others sitting on a sofa behind.

John snorted and came forward towards Viktor, who was still standing before the computer.

John didn’t even glance at him, and seeing that he was in the way, he put out his hand to rudely push him away. However, his brows wrinkled when he saw that Viktor hadn’t budged from his spot even by an inch.
