Chereads / Z-ONE / Chapter 43 - Hide and Seek!

Chapter 43 - Hide and Seek!

Clap!

Clap!

Clap!

After Minister Hand put the wooden crown at Kong's head every creature clapped and then by the time Kong stand up everyone kneels and pays respect to the new king.

And Tyro who already kneeling synchronized with the other monsters, Tyro looks like he was paying respect to the new king. However, that was not what he is doing, instead, he was reading the System Tree of the Demon's Ability.

"What is this?!"

"How can an ability be obtained just by hearing it?!"

"Demons?!"

"Are monsters living inside that hole?!"

Tyro was confused and could not understand why he earned an ability just by hearing it. That's why he is checking the content of the new ability.

--- ---

[Demonic Trees] (SSS-RANK)

Ability Origin: Unknown.

Ability System: Locked.

--- ---

Tyro glared at the system window and was stunned, Tyro was stunned because the info about the ability is totally useless. As if the ability is just for show and did not even state how to unlocked it or its origin.

Then, by the time ritual finished and minister Han cover the hole using the land to where he is standing, Tyro heard a system notification.

[System: Will you accept the Demons contract?!]

[YES/NO]

Tyro's question was answered by this system notification. And out of curiosity Tyro said,

"YES!"

[System: To unlock this ability you have to obtain the current king's crown.]

However, by the time he accepted the system notification. All the monster inside the hall change like as if all them was possessed by something and glared at Tyro. Their eyes look like they are going to eat the man alive.

Tyro's eyes widened and he gulped his saliva.

~Step!~

~Step!~

Tyro instinctively steps back.

All the monsters stand up from their kneeling position, however, after seeing the sudden changes Tyro did not hesitate to run away. Tyro ran like crazy and red system notifications keep popping out.

[System: WARNING! WARNING! The host could not execute this action. . . you only have a 1 meter per second movement speed.]

[System: WARNING! WARNING! The host could not execute this action. . .]

[System: WARNING! WARNING! The host could not. . .]

[System: WARNING! WARNING! The host could not. . .]

.

.

.

[System: WARNING! WARNING! The host could not. . .]

But Tyro ran like 30 meters per second and ignored the system limitation. It was like a cheat, and that cheat phenomena triggered his tattoo on the back of his neck to brighten again, providing him to make the impossible possible.

Tyro's speed did not slow down instead his speed keeps increasing. Making him be able to run away from that capital and escaped the monster who glaring at him.

10 minutes later Tyro was in the middle of nowhere inside the danger zone forest, and he did not know where he is. And on that time Tyro only think to run like crazy, achieving the speed of 200 meters per second. He did not know why he ran but his instinct told him to run.

However, his intuition was wrong because after he runs as far as he could go away from that capital he heard a continental system notification.

[Continental System Announcement: Player Lucifer has triggered the Hide and Seek event, all the players will now become the Seeker and player Lucifer is now the Hider.]

[Continental System Announcement: If you be able to youch the Hider you will gain what the Hider is hiding. . . You only have 3 weeks to complete this event. . . good luck Seekers!]

Tyro was crying in blood at what he has done. He never knows that accepting that contract would trigger such an event.

And now above him, a red arrow is floating, this arrow is the indicator that he was the hider.

"God of luck why this is happening to me!"

"Why do all of the people, why me?!"

Tyro looked at the sky and wondered if the God of luck is playing on pranks at him.

A few moments later like a thunderbolt that hit him on the spot, Tyro realizes something.

He realizes that if the seek need to find him, but he received the quest to obtain the wooden crown where Kong had it as the new king of the Beast Kingdom. Then by the time, the seeker touches him will the quest also pass to that seeker?

In other words, if the hider finishes his/her task then there is a possibility that this event will end and the hider wins while the seekers lose.

With a bright smile, Tyro has an idea now how he will complete this quest. However, after opening the continental map all the hopes of his plan were destroyed, like a glass hitting the ground and broke into pieces. Making him look above him and his face twitched and gulped.

GEC Main Head Quarters,

"President!"

"What should we do, we barely launched the game, and now we received 2 unknown errors!"

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!"

A man with eyeglasses shakes his head while biting his thumb, upon seeing the two unknown errors.

Even the greatest hacker could not hack the system of the game, this hacker was like a living legend among the hackers around the globe.

The man with eyeglasses thinks, 'And now someone hacked the game? That is a bullshit error who would think such a possibility a person could hack the game.'

As if Mr. Winks know what is the man thinking he replied,

"Relax! For now, just locate the person who is hacking the system."

Then Mr. Winks pick up his phone and dialed a number.

Ring!

Ring!

Ring!

"Hello!" Mr. Winks greeted the person on the phone.

"Yes! To whom am I speaking to?!" The person on the phone asked Mr. Winks.

"I am code #Z1" Mr. Winks replied.

"Please wait for a moment!" The person on the phone replied and continued after 10 seconds.

"You are now connected to the council Mr. Z1!" The man respectfully states his words to Mr. Winks.

"Thanks!" Mr. Winks bowed to the person on the phone, then another person was heard.

"What is wrong little brother?! Is there something wrong with the game?!" The person who is now on the phone asked Mr. Winks.

"Yeah! Something like that. Do you know about it?!"

"Big Brother Sam?!"

Mr. Winks asked respectfully to the man named Sam.

"Hmmm, according to our statistic everything was fine, the Werewolf races are not cheating, neither the other race all of them are doing just fine and enjoying the game." The man named Sam answered while checking the spy cams on the other races.

"Is that so?!" Mr. Wink's face was slightly amazing and he imagined, 'who could do such a thing making an error inside the game? That is impossible no matter how much I think I could not guess to this unknown player.'

Pondering for a few minutes Mr. Winks bid goodbye to the man named Sam. Because there is nothing he could do in the meantime.

"Big brother Sam, please do, tell me if the other races are scheming or something inside the game."

"Don't worry little one, the council has always had an eye on them," Sam replied.

"Then, all I can do rather than anything else but to search manually who is the one making those errors, and farewell big brother Sam." Mr. Winks said.

"See ya!" Sam answered then, turn off the call.

Beep!

Then Mr. Winks commands the man with eyeglasses to monitor the game 24/7 and find the source of these errors. . .
