there was a dark space unknown to anybody other than 11 specific people. currently, this space had ten people within it. the darkness stretched for an unlimited distance. the ten people were standing around the circumference of a glowing green circle that was the size of four metres diameter.
there was nothing to prove that they were in the space other than their glowing white eyes. their figures couldn't be distinguished even with the brightly glowing green circle. they all stayed silent for a while before a male's voice was heard.
"hmm...has anybody heard anything from the system admins?"
his statement was received with silence for a while before a female's voice responded to his question.
"yes, we did...it seems the system admins had disappeared for a while...according to the report sent they had been attacked while watching over the servers at world S...they managed to defend the servers and had identified the attackers as the devil race..."
when the ten heard this all the glowing lights that represented their eyes slightly narrowed. the first male voice then asked if there was anything else from the system admins.
"yes there is...they are requesting for orders on what to do to the devil race for daring to attack the servers...I find it rather odd that the devils were willing to attack servers knowing perfectly well who they belong to..."
there was a slight hint of irritation in this voice as the glowing lights representing her eyes shifted their focus to the glowing circle. all the others within the space were slightly confused about the matter.
it wasn't anything serious so the system admins should be able to deal with it without problems right? then the female voice spoke once more.
"according to the system admins, the devils that attacked our servers were direct subordinates of his majesty Lucifer..."
when Lucifer's name was mentioned the other people within the space slightly relaxed. now it made more sense...if the devils were just a bunch of rogues then the system admins should be perfectly capable of finishing them off, however, if they were direct subordinates of Lucifer then the system masters would have to get involved.
"very well...tell the system admins that we give them permission to inflict a warning penalty on his majesty Lucifer...make sure that the penalty is to deduct a seventh of Lucifer's remaining lifetime...that should be a reminder to him. as for the next race that tries this...
tell them we give them permission to exterminate the entire race that dares play with us...just like the black dragons."
the male voice now had a large hint of irritation and annoyance in its speech.
nothing more was spoken for a while before a new female voice spoke. this one had a large amount of eccentricity in it and tried to cheer up the mood.
"hey, guys! guess what report I just got from HQ?"
the others in the room looked towards the source of the voice and waited for her to tell them her usual jokes. she was liked by all of them except one.
"well according to HQ it seems the system had a slight bug in its coding...they supposedly managed to fix it before it became major but the bug has seemed to affect a small number of players...so they requested we help these players with their bugged systems."
all the others were slightly shocked that a bug could appear in the system but kept their cool since HQ said it wasn't anything major.
"ok, so do we have a list of these bugged players ready?"
"yes we do...thankfully it seemed the admins managed to take care of a few of them before the devils suddenly attacked the servers."
the others were slightly pleased that the admins took care of the problem for them and they all agreed to hold a party later that year for the admins. with that out of the way the eccentric female spoke again.
"However, it seems that six players still have bugged systems. while the admins were fighting the devils it seemed the bugs in their systems worsened to the point that the privileges the admins have aren't sufficient to solve the problem...thus it requires one of us system masters to handle it."
the first male voice asked if there was a list of these people and the eccentric female responded that there was. he asked for the list and ten green semi-transparent message boards appeared in the space. each board was in front of a pair of glowing white eyes as they read the names.
[bugged players:
1:Josh Graham
2:Mandy Graham
3:Gillian Star
4:Marvin Rheede
5:Ramogi Mukisa
6:Finn Harprocrates]
"oh!"
the male voice spoke once more with surprise as he asked if there was any additional information about the people listed. he was told some history about the six players and was shocked to hear that all of them were transmigrators...especially the last three.
"hmm...it seems we have three new demi-gods as players now...but to think that the last one is a direct child of a mythical god...the other two seem to carry blessings from specific gods but to think we would have a child from Harprocrates...a god of secrets, was it?"
"yes, and the fourth person listed is apparently being blessed by...TWENTY GODS!?!?!?"
the eccentric female shouted the last part of Marv's information with a slight hint of disturbance in her voice. although this wasn't the first time a being was blessed by more than one god...just the fact that a single being was blessed by twenty gods...it was hugely unheard of...in this universe at least.
"We should probably fix all their systems if we don't want to have issues arising from the divine races...even if we have the power to eradicate them all we are strictly prohibited from doing so unless they break the creation pact...but still twenty gods..."
the male voice was talking in a serious tone now as he once again inspected the list. the lights representing his eyes widened again in shock as he read that the fifth position was also blessed by the very same twenty gods...
{are they related to each other...well it isn't our issue but we should probably fix these bugs quickly.}
"activate server reboot for world S of the universe B."
the second these words were spoken by the first female voice the green semi-transparent boards closed and the green glowing circle suddenly disappeared putting the space in darkness once more.
