The heavy body, apparent tiredness, my arms were sluggish; I had gone through the front door. The hall was lit despite the absence of a human being in the room. I turned on the music, connected all the speakers to my phone, then took a walk to make sure I was the only one. Then I undressed, completely. Now, in a daze, the freedom was mine, I had the power.
I wiggle my hips to the rhythm of the music, the strange sensation of feeling the sound between my legs moving with each of my movements is addictive. How can I not like this pseudo freedom? Some time after this moment of pause, I take a long shower - a very hot shower. The water was flowing, my body was moving to the sound of this music I liked so much, and it went to hell,
— Ohhh my my my...ohh ohh ohh paradise...
Now dressed, I go down the stairs. Then, without any real surprise, I come across Emiko and her cousin, mine - my cousin, still no return. I found myself in front of my two guests who didn't ring the bell before entering - but we won't delay on the details... Emiko's gaze was alert, her eyes rather wrinkled, her shoulders a little tense. She wasn't the usual young schoolgirl, something different was emanating from her, which made her quite remarkable and more attractive. My eyes did not leave her in the least, too obsessed by the one who seemed to have left from afar, as if this young girl whom I greeted quite a bit in the corridors of the school had become another person.
Silence took possession of the whole room, only Shun seemed to be in the west. My best friend's cousin undertook to break this white.
— Listen Riku, as a big boy you're old enough to know what's going on, even if I think it's too early, you're going to have to prepare yourself so that you can't be surprised; she exhaled slowly before resuming her speech, first of all, my name is Emiko Saya. As you can see I have the same surname as your best friend here. Actually I am an investigator who came from Tokyo to investigate the "deserters" case, four years ago several players from Japanese, Korean and American servers lost all their items in the game "Fantasy World". These players all fought several players being viruses. And during these fights, it turns out that the banks where the developers were putting money were hacked. But only the accounts of this game were hacked. More than three billion euros have disappeared, thanks to an American computer unit the losses were no greater. Six months later these servers were sold to this new company - "O.M.P.", which stands for "Organization of Mobile Players". Since the opening of this organisation, a special investigation unit has been set up to prevent this from happening again. I, as an ex-hacker working for the police, your parents - thanks to their influence - submitted my file so that I could participate in this investigation.
The flow of information is enormous, my brain is gradually assimilating all his statements. I am afraid again at this moment when I see the magnitude of what had happened, I had isolated myself when the problem was bigger and more important than I could have imagined. And now I have worried my parents so much that they are forced to take precautions. Besides, since when have they had relationships or influence?! Where did that come from again?
— So if you're here it's for a very specific reason, isn't it? Besides, is there a connection with me? I ask with a glass of water.
— I was just about to come, but you didn't, if I'm here it's because we've been able to locate an important flow of activity from their shares coming from here. We think that there are several players playing with cheatcodes made by them as if to leave signals, which means that they are probably preparing something, but we don't know more. And you, because it's all related to Kik'x - well, that's what our analyst said; he assumed that they all either had admiration, jealousy or just didn't like your avatar. Which is strange since you weren't that famous - that's why we keep digging down that road, to try to put this puzzle back together?
We are thrown into a lot of question and answer games. I'm not really interested in this issue, despite what they think - I'm fine, I may have been slightly depressed at one point, but nevertheless it has all calmed down. I knew how to calm down but emotions, with Shun by my side I don't interiorize much, I talk to her about absolutely everything. So even you, who seem to be worried about my modest person created from scratch by a disturbing spirit, please remain calm. I am fine.
Emiko is gone, Megumi who fell asleep as soon as she came back; only me and my best is left. He proposes to go out to the sanctuary¹ -since we are still members as far as I know. I have paid an annual membership fee, I intend to pay it to the end. In the dark of night the weather is quite hot, good for us that the way to get there is not like the road to the Zoldik.
After eight o'clock in the evening there is not a huge mass of pseudo gamers left, only the crème de la crème remains until this time. With this new update where you can bet real money, the evenings at the sanctuary its eventful sacrament. Since last Tuesday, the date of this new update, I have been going home with a lot of money. This brick earned by the sweat of my brow is mainly used to buy me a lot of VHP², to make my avatar even fresher because yes I am a fucking pigeon! And you're not going to do anything !
I take a place next to it in the sanctuary, in our usual place, this place near the toilets, the exit and the vending machine. I scroll among several challengers, there is indeed one that catches my eye, especially because of his stats...
I then start the game against "ShadowOfThyGreatDeat" -yes, there wasn't enough character for him, poor guy.
"In game":
As soon as the fight starts, he doesn't waste any time. He comes running towards me, draws his blade and, barely hitting my chest with a sword, I avoid him, but I still lose a few points.
He then goes straight on with it:
— Assassin invokes: sequence six→Fire Tornado ! he shouts in the open air.
I don't have time to avoid it, so I take it. I decide to take a step back. While my pvs are slowly going up - because it's only after three combos in a row that the gauge doesn't go all the way up. But the asshole doesn't let me breathe and decides to attack while running:
— Assassin invokes: sequence five→ Wake Up The Blade!
This sequence which consists in bringing out swords under the opponent that almost all assassins use. It is easy for me to anticipate it.
— Assassin invokes: sequence two→ full speed moove ! Which propels me a few meters in front of him.
Then I continue with :
— Assassin invokes: sequence six→ Paralyze!
Which without surprise paralyses him for seven seconds. During these seven seconds, I drop my best combos in double fencing like kirito in laincrad.
As soon as he's free, he uses jumps and then launches a movement.
— Assassin invokes: sequence four→ Anticipation! This sequence simply allows you to move away from your opponent in order to recharge your pv gauge.
Unfortunately for the latter I have a smile on my face, I don't give him time to escape, because if he managed to do so, I might not have a chance to win. So I go ahead with my second routine;
— Assassin invokes: sequence two→ Full Speed Moove!
By reflex he draws his blade in front of him to protect himself, yet I switch³ alone with :
— Assassin invokes: sequence one→ Repulse!
When the shock wave propels him away from me, I decide to throw :
— Assassin invokes: sequence six→ Paralyze!
I wait for four seconds to allow my mana gauge to reach over sixty percent to conclude with one of my favourite finishes - each player is able to have up to three final sequences, and I have three mdr. I use the second one, the one that gives me a lot of pleasure.
— ASSASSIN INVOKES: ENDING SEQUENCE TWO: GOTCHAAAAA !!!!
One of my two blades pierces him through the back and then takes him in front of me at full speed. On my knees in front of me, with my katana on my back, I am delighted with the show. Using my second blade... I whisper softly in his ear :
— I got you... With a giggle.
The blade pierces his neck.
Then He explodes.
"You win"
**************
N.O.A: I would like to thank all those who read this novel, now I'm at 7 chapters and more than 1k views, it touches me deeply.
However, lately, for several weeks now, I haven't written any chapters, those are the ones I had already written, the reason is the lack of communication with you, no feedback on the chapters, no vote on the chapters and that makes me heavy to write. So please leave a comment, a quick one would make me happy.
Thank you for reading and see you next week.
