Chereads / Realm of the Slaughterer / Chapter 3 - Nexus

Chapter 3 - Nexus

"Old Ten's gonna beat the shit out of me," Little Eleven was depressed.

"And last night's dinner too," Sadly, he sat down on Qin's chair, threatening to break it with his massive body.

*Pa*

"Bad Eleven, bad!"

*Pa*

"Bad Eleven, bad!"

*Pa*

"Bad Eleven, bad!"

*Pa*

Little Eleven beat slapped himself repeatedly on the face as if punishing himself.

"Hey! If I beat myself up, I could tell Old Ten that Lance overpowered me and escaped!" Little Eleven's face brightened as he resumed his beating.

However, this time he hit himself harder.

*Pa*

"Bad Eleven, bad!"

*Pa*

"Bad Eleven, bad!"

*Pa*

"Bad Eleven, bad!"

*Pa*

'Enter now!' Qin commanded.

With this, his vision went black and he felt as if he was in a dark room.

"Woah! What's that?" Qin caught sight of something in front of him.

At what seemed to be the middle of the room, was a grayish fog circulating around. But this wasn't the thing that had caught his attention.

Instead, it was… a dark shadow.

Indeed, a dark shadow. This dark shadow seemed to be wearing a dark hooded robe. His arms were crossed like a God of Vengeance.

Qin took a step forward.

*Weng!*

The hooded figure silently turned toward him. Two piercing lights shone out at Qin from under the dark hood.

"Holy SHIT!" Qin backed up instantly.

"This little one is sorry for interrupting your cultivation, senior." He cupped his fist respectfully.

However, the obscure figure turned away the instant Qin backed up, not bothering to listen to his explanation. The figure did not move at all, which caused Qin to reevaluate his thoughts.

'Death! Definitely the God of Death!'

*Whump!*

Just as quickly as Qin had arrived, he disappeared. He opened his eyes and saw a room.

'Wow, this room is sure small!' He thought. He looked around and saw that the room was very bare, except for a few commodities.

On the far wall was a bulletin board, with several things posted on it. On the wall adjacent to that, was some sort of large TV?

Qin walked up to the bulletin first. He saw three things posted on it. The largest was called the [Wandering Thanksgiving Event], with a picture of a large blue turkey on it. The turkey had blood-red eyes and its tail feathers that made up its fan were a vibrant green.

Needless to say, this was obviously the Thanksgiving Event.

The second, smaller post was labeled [Time to Restock!]. The picture was of two silhouettes and two chests. Undeniably, this was the Black Friday Ample Pack.

Lastly was the [Beginner's Pack].

The [Beginner's Pack] contained 5x [XP Booster 1 hr], 5x [Lucky Clover], 5x [Backpack], 1x [Merlin Wizard Skin], 1x [Rare Mystery Pet Skin], 1x [Common Mystery Egg], 1x [Character Slot], and 1x [Vault Slot]. To Qin, this was the most appealing one out of all the current offers!

XP Booster 1 hr: Get 2x all XP gained for one hour!

Lucky Clover: A lucky shamrock that will make enemies drop more and better loot! Lasts 20 minutes.

Backpack: A backpack that'll double your inventory space!

Merlin Wizard Skin: Use this item to unlock the Merlin skin for the Wizard Class!

Rare Mystery Pet Skin: Grants a random pet skin when used!

Common Mystery Egg: A common pet egg of an unknown pet family!

Char Slot Unlocker: Unlocks a character slot! Once activated, do not change maps before the confirmation message appears or the item might disappear!

Vault Chest Unlocker: Unlocks a vault chest! Once activated, do not change maps before the confirmation message appears or the item might disappear!

'Yes!' Qin was so hyped. The [Beginnner's Pack] was limited; you could only get it if you were a beginner and the offer would only last for 1 day!

Then Qin turned to the other wall, and when he read what was on the 'TV' he confirmed his thoughts.

"As I expected, this is the [Home Page]," Qin smirked. "Or should I call it the [Home Room]?"

Then, he tapped the screen.

[New Character]- Slot 1

[Wizard]- Class

[Classic]- Skin

[Play!]

"Oh YEAH…" Qin appeared in a new environment, the Nexus. He had chosen wizard because at the moment, it was the only class he could use until he unlocked other classes. The moment he appeared, 2 bars materialized above his head. They were labeled [HP] (Red) and [MP] (blue). He currently had 100/100 [HP] and 100/100 [MP].

The floor around him was brown and gave off a very 'Thanksgiving/Fall' vibe. In addition to that, there were also four pools of water around him with fountains in them. These four pools gave off a sense of overwhelming vitality.

In front of him on the right, was a large portal. If one looked carefully enough, they would be able to see that behind the portal, there was a land that one could call a paradise!

This was the [Pet Yard Portal], which led to the [Pet Yard]! Pets would be hatched in here. After that, they would also be raised and feed in there.

Opposite that on the left, was the [Name Change Statue]. Your game name could be changed there.

Qin turned around after surveying these, as he knew all these by heart.

Behind him on the right, was the [Vault Portal]. This is where items could be stored, via [Vault Chests]. Other than this, items could be stored in one's inventory and backpack. However, backpacks could only be used once and inventory space only had 8 slots for non-equipped items.

On the left was the [Guild Hall Portal]. This is where members of guilds could privately meet with their respective guild members. However, Qin felt that this was pretty much useless as; one, you have to be in a guild to go in there; two, there are no other players in this system.
