All Players are trying to retake the city again.The Class S Players joined the battle as the battle get heated up.The Dark Tower unleash the 3 bossses the Goblin King, Goblin General, Goblin Berserker to defend the tower.
While the Players are fighting in the city, Paul and Giselle are heading on the Tabular Street to get Paul's sister, Sheryl.
" Btw, You said earlier that your sister is your only family left in this world, What happen to your parents?"
"...." Paul can't say a word. Giselle realized that Paul's face was sad as he became silent and can't say a world, Then Giselle realized and understood that he's been through something worse.
" I'm sorry... It's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Giselle felt bad as Paul didn't say a word and just keep quiet as they continue to head to the Tabular Street.
They reach the Tabular Street after a 3 hours of walking, However, but a unexpected happened in the Tabular Street. The Street has been Battlefield between the army of goblins and players, The houses are on fire and dead bodies of both sides are on the road.
Paul didn't expect that the battlefield has happened in the Tabular City. Both Paul and Giselle are shocked that the players are losing and getting outnumbered by goblins. The goblins are ganging up a player and the players are getting pressure after the death of the one of the Class S Player by a Goblin King.
"Paul.... There's a Boss Monster in there..We will be killed if we go on there" Giselle is trembling and scared in the Boss. Both of them are hiding one of the abandoned house in the Tabular City.
"....." Paul felt silent after he saw the players losing and getting killed, he begin to feeling nervous and scared but try to stay calm because his goal to see his sister alive. He try to go outside but Giselle stopped him.
"Paul... Don't go!!!, You know you're no match in that many goblins and there's a Goblin King outside that's a S Rank Boss."
Paul determine to see his sister and hope that she is still alive and willing to bet his life to save his sister.
"No matter... how many enemies there are...luck will be at my side."
Giselle understand that Paul want to go at the Tabular Street even though it's a battlefield to save his only family that's when she realized that even thought how many times she stop him, he won't listen and he will fight to save his only family in the world.
"Hmmm....Fine then..You said that we needed to get stronger, right?..So let's get stronger and hope that we survive in the battle."
Paul has a surprised face after Giselle willing to follow him even though it's dangerous and they might die.
"I don't understand you... Even thought we don't have a friendly relationship back then in our department, you still willing to follow me, huh?"
"Of course, besides are we already friends when we start being a companion last night."
" Hahahaha!!" Paul laughed that how funny that he made a new trusted friend and Giselle is someone he can truly trust and rely on.
"Hey, What's so funny?" Giselle said.
"Nothing." Paul replied with a smile on his face.
"Let's Go." They both sneak and entered in the battlefield of the Tabular City, Giselle and Paul are looking for the apartment of Paul and see if his sister in there. While they are searching the apartment. They heard many loud noice and Players that are screaming for help. "HELP US!!!!!! SOMEONE PLSSS!!!!"
Both Paul and Giselle ignored it and proceed on finding the apartment, The Players are getting killed and many of them begins to retreat as they slaughter by goblins, The goblins are too many for the players to handle, Their leader ordered them to retreat.
Paul and Giselle caught the attention of the other goblins, Those goblins chased them, They quickly run as fast as they can and tried to lost them but it's useless because they being followed no matter how fast they run.
"Damn it!!, The goblins are following us, we can't stop that many, What'll we do Paul,?"
"I'll try use a illusion clone magic to get some of them off on our tail."
"Fine.. but you better hurry up!!!"
Paul use one of his skill "Illusion Clone" make a clone of himself and order the clone to go on another way for the goblins to follow
"Go in that way." The clone followed the order given by Paul and go on another route. The goblins followed the illusion but still they are being followed by 10 goblins.
Paul and Giselle decided to fight the 10 goblins, Paul feeling confident that they can win now he have a strong companion. Both of them will go offensive. Giselle grab her knife that she brought from the house while Paul decided to use his fist and one of his offensive skill.
"Are you feeling confident on fight without a weapon, Paul?"
"You don't need to worry, I can fight without a weapon since I have 1 offensive skill and I also need to increase my strength."
"Hmph, don't get fool of yourself."
The 10 Goblins sorrounded them, both of them are trying to stay calm and trying to be afraid.
"Okay, now!!!!"
They both attack the goblins as the goblins also attack at the same time while ganging up on both of them.
Paul gives hard puch on goblin in his front that break his skull but a goblin try stab him behind his back but he dodge it and avoided attack, However he didn't avoid the attack completely as he get a little hit
"Hugh..." He kick the goblin that was behind his back and the 2 goblins quickly gang up on him, he use his skill "Fire Blast" that hit both the goblins. While he was finished, Giselle still fighting the other 5 goblins, One of the goblin surprisedly manage to hit her on her leg, Giselle fell on ground, enable her to use her agility skill.
"Paul, Little help here..."
"Okay.."
Paul begin to use his "Eye of Tactician Mage", The 3 goblins are getting scared and pressure from the aura of Paul's Eyes. He attack one by one with his fire blast, The 3 goblins are screaming by as they get burned, killing the 3 them.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Paul and Giselle watched the 3 goblins being burned.
Giselle thanked Paul for saving him but feeling guilty that it's like she's a burden.
"Thanks, Paul....if you didn't save me, I would have die...if only I have a bow, I won't be a burden to you even though I'm a level 10...."
"You didn't have to apologize.... besides you didn't know your class until this invasion, right?"

After both of them checked their system, They continue to find the apartment and manage avoid goblins that are patrolling nearby in the area, However, They stop and hide at the wall after they saw a male player being tortured by a 5 goblins, The goblins are stabbing him slowly by minutes as he scream and beg for help while the goblins laughing at him
"AHHHGG!! STOP PLSS!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!!! ANYBODY PLSS!!!!"
That player is crying and screaming, Paul and Giselle hesitate to help that player since that they can attract the attention of other goblins nearby the area.
"Paul, We should save him."
" You know that's impossible, If we kill those 5 goblins that are stabbing him, we might the caught the attention of other goblins nearby." Paul Explained.
"Even though we want to help him, it's impossible, this world has change to a game now that it's a do or die in this world."
"..." Giselle felt silent after realizing that the world has been turn on a dark course. After the goblins killed the male player and leave, they take the opportunity to go at that way.
They manage find Paul's apartment and they knocking at door as that door is locked.
"Paul, Do you where the keys is?"
"It's in the flower pot." Paul Answered.
Giselle looked the key at the flower pot and she found and open the door, As they go inside and Paul calling his sister's name in a panick.
"Sheryl!!"
Giselle grabbed Paul's shirt.
"Keep quiet! If the goblins heard us, we both dead!! We will find your sister, just try to stay calm."
Paul understand and he's now calm what Giselle say as she let go of her shirt. They begin to search in every room of the apartment but they did not found her.
"Paul, don't be worry, maybe she already fled before the goblins attack in here."
"You don't know that...." Paul begins to cry and fell on his knees as he's worried where his sister is...he feared that the goblins already killed her. Giselle comfort her by hugging him.
"We will find her..We will not stop until we found her" Giselle felt it how Paul has been through, after losing his parents, his sister is his only family left in this world.
"I know how it felt to lose a family because I also lost my family last year..ever since then I have been alone in my life."
Paul was suprise at what Giselle said that her family is gone now.
"I'm sorry.... Giselle..."
"You don't need to be sorry, that was long time ago, However, Now we have to find you sister and don't dare to lose hope, your sister is alive, don't give up, ok?"
"Yeah, you're right I guess.."Paul then try to stay calm and think where she is.. Giselle smiled and she suprisely kiss him on the cheek.
"Wh-Why did you that???" Paul said while blushing."
"To make you feel calm when you're thinking, Fufufufu..." Giselle replied with a smile.
That kiss on the cheek from Giselle made him feel calm and warmer to think, he realized that his sister living a note in the table for his bro when she is going outside. Both of them head to the kitchen.
"I remember now, Shirley is always left a note on kitchen when she's going outside, let's go the kitchen."
"Ok." Giselle Replied.
Paul saw a note at the table. Paul picked the note and said " Bro I'll go at the Pure Supermarket to buy a food, by Shirley." They now know the location of Shirley.
"I know that supermarket, that's the place we always buy foods because it's cheap in there."
"Great, Let's go there." Giselle Replied.
They both headed to the Pure SuperMarket in the Central City, they didn't know it's the place where the main battlefield of players and goblins has been taken place.
His sister, Shirley is hiding in a closet at the market while hearing explosion, she is scared and crying. " I'm scared..Big Bro...."
