"A story mode… I hope this isn't a bug or a glitch." He said to himself as he felt uncertain about this.
This is an online multiplayer open-world game! A story mode should exist in a single-player mode. Though, come to think of it, Tornado seems to remember that the developers had a plan to make every player have their own story mode.
It seems it didn't make it to the final cut but looks like the codes were still in the game. Still, isn't it weird that he's the one who got it? There are about three million of players in this game and he got it.
But then, he remembered one event that just happened earlier.
"Right, Asitana. How long have I been out?"
"Asitana isn't sure but about half an hour."
"Half an hour?" He pinched his chin for a second before twisting the throttle. He can't waste any more time than this! Jun is in great danger and here he is, sleeping soundly.
"Let's go, hang on tight!" Asitana let go of her hug and sat in Tornado's lap.
The idly floating motorcycle earlier is shot forward just like a bullet comes out from the barrel as Tornado twisted the throttle.
The distance is rather far and it would take about two minutes and in these two minutes, Tornado's mind is thinking about something. Which is the story mode of course.
Tornado had some guesses but one guess is that this story mode is what he got after the big nerf. Is it worth it? Only time would tell.
Truth be told, he is excited that he had a story mode in his main menu. A new mode means a new bunch of features! Maybe he'll get a weapon that was weak in story mode but actually really powerful in multiplayer mode or maybe a new perk like every time a bullet hits zombies, they're going to be slowly decomposing!
Though, new things aren't always a good thing. For example, new types of zombies and include the zombie bosses.
If you know all the zombies in this game, it'll make you think that this was dark souls. Every zombie was annoying and had its special abilities!
Even the ordinary ones are annoying already since most of them are attacked in numbers and considering that they'll get some buffs in the new upcoming patch updates. It'll get annoying.
This made Tornado think for himself.
What's wrong in the mind of the developers? Shouldn't they make the game easy and stuff? Well, that's the mystery. Although the game was released five years ago and some supernatural things happened, which lead players trapped here.
What's more, players don't know anything about what's going on. On the outside world that is, unless they conquered the eight cities, which enabled them to connect with the outside world.
Lack of information about the outside world but can still contact the developer team. Though every time players ask questions about the outside world, they either ignore it or divert the topic.
There is this one time where a player is the son of a big CEO company and threatens the developers to log him out from the game but instead of that, the developers do what is called a pro-gamer move.
They tortured the hell out of that player by minimizing item drops, zombies suddenly get stronger, zombie bosses will target him first rather than anyone else despite other player's health is low and there are much much more that player got just because threatening the developer team and the torture still continued to this very day.
That poor player is still kicking and living but he spends most of his time playing safe by doing some easy missions and never participating in conquering the ten cities.
Tornado met him once and his state is well. Make people pity him.
Anywho, the developers are strange, cruel, and mysterious. Every time a player reports bugs or glitches, they would fix it almost immediately. It was so fast that even players didn't realize that the problem was fixed already.
There was this time when a player reported a bug where zombies wouldn't die no matter what, he reported it and the problem was fixed in a short ten minutes! Ten minutes!
It was terrifying and amazing at the same time, the news spread quite fast and players began speculating what the developer team really is.
Some say that they're aliens that were disguised themselves in human skin, some say that the developer team is an A.I itself. This speculation, or rather a theory at this point.
Agreed by many players! The developer team is actually an A.I, to which it controlled everything in the game and that's why problems in games were fixed quickly. If it's humans who do that, however, it is literally impossible!
With up above, you get a rough idea of what the developer team is. It is mysterious and intriguing at the same time, Tornado even thought that he wanted to find the truth about them but didn't have the time in the end.
You know, hunter easter eggs are fun after all.
I wonder if entering the story mode would bring me to a single-player mode? Tornado thought to himself.
Indeed, there's a chance that this story mode will not take place in the multiplayer mode but brought him to a single-player mode, but what would happen to his character in the multiplayer mode?
Go hibernate or something?
Should I take the risk? He wondered as he pinched his chin. If he did, however, there's a chance that he'll fell asleep, and helping Jun would be impossible too. In addition to that, can he quit the story mode?
If his character in multiplayer mode is in great danger, that would be the worst thing to happen.
So many possibilities and considerations to take so that he could play the story mode made him think that he shouldn't play it at all! His purpose in this game is to find easter eggs if he plays the story mode where it takes the most priority over easter eggs.
Then he decided not to, however. At the same time, it is interesting and makes him curious about it.
'Curiosity is the worst thing than fear,' Tornado muttered and fell into deep thought for a few moments. His eyes were closed and brows formed a frown on his forehead, no one knows exactly what is on his mind.
The motorcycle travels through the air at high speed and adding that it was in auto mode if birds or any flying creatures are in the way. They'll get crashed and either will die or fatally injured.
Soon, he opened his eyes and nodded. He quickly looked at Asitana who sat quietly on his lap. Her hair is that color of cream, some even mistake it as a blond from distance but if you take a closer look, it was cream.
Her hair also smells nice and pleasant to one's nose. Its smell is like an apple and a flowery fragrance, entering his nostrils and somehow ease his mind.
"Asitana, if I have a story that I must walk on. Should I do it?"
"Asitana didn't understand what you were talking about, but if it's interesting and fun! You should do it and I'll accompany you!"
Heard her answers, Tornado can't help but feel that something had indeed happened to her. Her answers were nothing like the first time they met, this time it was more polite and cute.
Not that Tornado hates it but he finds it strange. He doesn't know what happened to her while he's unconscious but he'll try to go along with her new attitude and personality. In addition to that, without asking questions even if he wants to.
Though, he's uncertain how long he could keep it that way…
Subconsciously, he stroked her thick hair with a gentle gesture as if stroking a sleeping cat, afraid of waking it up. The out of character these two made would surely surprise those who know them well, like Uno and Clover for example.
The latter would certainly think that Tornado lost his memories or because of under pressure or something. As he stroked her hair, a thought slipped through his mind and stopped what he's doing.
"Asitana, can you still feel the connection?"
"Connection? Oh, come to think of it. It was quite faint and not as strong as the last time. Also, Asitana feels something dangerous towards the place we're heading."
It was faint? Is it possible that the second easter egg was that strange creature? But that doesn't make any sense and is unexpected at the same time. Tornado pondered to himself.
Pondering wouldn't do any good so he checked the progression of the Golden Easter Egg.
[Golden Easter Egg: 1,5/10.]
"1,5?" He's surprised but it didn't last long.
