Day 2.
Having finished surviving the second catastrophic crisis he had. Linfa used his crafting system to separate the flesh of the mutant rat corpse, and he thought for a while about the meaning of life.
What is the essence of the players?
Of course it was a infinite awakening.
With lives like the Undead, they cannot be defeated, and become a terrible scourge for all beings in this world.
However...
Linfa found a problem.
The bodies of the players could not appear out of thin air. from the start, Linfa had summoned the consciousness of the players from the blue star using someone else's body like a necromancer.
With the destruction of their bodies, the players' consciousness was cut off, and could no longer exist in this world.
They need a medium.
So, the question is...
Where are the respawn players!?
The bodies that carried their consciousness had been shattered into smithereens because of the behavior that they had done. Where can he find a new body?
[Players waiting to enter the game: 89 online.]
[Will it open an online channel?]
Linfa: "...."
Stroked his beardless chin. Linfa looked at the system panel, squinted seriously, and he immediately confirmed the button.
Linfa got two systems with no tutorial at all. If not for his brain suddenly becoming smart all of a sudden. Linfa never even thought his crafting system could be used like last night.
It's the same as the summoning system.
Hell, you're the one asking whether to confirm or not. the location and how the players respawn is not my problem!
"I hope, these players won't respawn too far."
Opens his data panel, and sees posts in the forum. Linfa began to wait quietly.
....
SilverBoy: "Can anyone enter the game now?"
tartala: "I did! I can enter the game again!"
Longuswer: "Hello, did the main server crash? I can't see anything! I found a BUG!"
KittyATM: "Same as here. My whole vision went dark, and I couldn't see anything. but somehow I feel like I can move my body."
Madara: "I've also entered the game. Wait a minute, this is a little weird."
....
The player named [GoldenSun] entered the game once again, and he felt his entire vision turning pitch black, like a blind man. He stared at the transparent panel in front of him in bewilderment.
"Is there anyone here?"
Shout into the darkness. There was only silence that answered him faithfully.
Scratched his head, and felt very confused by the situation he was in. GoldenSun narrowed his eyes, and and he said once again.
"Anyone who doesn't clap is a sissy!"
"Pok! Pok! Pok!"
This time, there were dozens of applause coming from all corners of the darkness.
GoldenSun: "...."
Opened his mouth dumbfoundedly, and didn't know what else to say. He suddenly listened to the voices of the players, who were whispering very close to his ear.
"How did you guys get eaten by such a simple bait! Didn't we all promise to be quiet when there's a newcomer!?"
"Fuck it, don't just blame me! Did you think I didn't hear your applause? Don't be a hypocrite!"
"N-no, I'm not clapping!"
"Hah! You've now been caught you bastard!"
....
Fell silent, and was speechless. GoldenSun found these players a bit funny.
"Huh? Why is it so dark in here? Is there anyone here?!"
It was the voice of a new player who had just come online.
The whole room suddenly became silent.
Now, GoldenSun knew why all the players agreed not to speak when a newcomer appeared.
This is too much fun~
[Seeing a monkey in the dark.Jpg]

Back to topic.
Although the players wanted to keep it a secret for the long time. The time to play will eventually run out too.
Couldn't ask the game developer because they didn't get any reply at all. The players just shrugged, and started to enter serious mode.
They all began to explore the entire contents of the room of darkness they were currently facing.
"Report! Traversing the wall area, we found that we were walking in a circle! Very loud echo effect, I thought we were in a dome!"
"Report! Found a moving object!"
"Report! It's me!"
"Report! Who Report? My name is Arnold!"
.....
Shaking his head in the darkness upon hearing the reports of the players sand sculptures. GoldenSun shrugged his shoulders, and he started browsing the forums.
.....
Sherlock Vatican: "You all are in almost the same condition as Berwin. However, you all seem to be in a closed room."
Sherlock Vatican: "Berwin said that he didn't die from being attacked by the mutant rats. He was dragged into the tunnel instead. I'm guessing that the tunnel is most likely the nesting base for all the rat mutants."
Sherlock Vatican: "Because our appearance in the game is in the form of zombies. Most likely the resurrection method for the dead players is to occupy the undead bodies in humanoid form."
Sherlock Vatican: "So, I have some hypotheses and conjectures that I have gathered."
Sherlock Vatican: "Since this city has a fairly high radiation, where did all the human corpses in this city go? I think the answer is the nuclear defense bunker in the tunnel."
Sherlock Vatican: "This conjecture is also supported by our existence as players. Your appearance in there indicates there is a high concentration of corpses around you."
Sherlock Vatican: "Ugh, I hate to say it. however, it seemed that everyone who had taken refuge in the shelter had died for some reason. All of you are now trapped inside the tightly locked shelter."
....
See posts, and comments from Sherlock Vatican. Linfa nodded his head in satisfaction.
He now knew how the current players respawned.
If this world had a post-apocalypse setting, of course there would be dungeon shelters. As long as there is a shelter, there are humans there.
However, what if all the humans in the city were dead?
Well, it's the players now who snatch the bodies of the poor deceased town people's.
These all provide very plausible explanations.
....
Aloysius: "Do you guys feel anything strange? I feel the merchant NPC Linfa is a necromancer."
Joker: "You're right. I thought I was the only one who thought that."
GreenFabio: "If the merchant NPC Linfa is a necromancer. Then our infinite awakening can be explained. I think the game developers have run out of ideas to form a natural solution for the existence of players."
Vinhui: "Wait a minute, there's a plot hole here. If this game is a post-apocalypse game, and all the monsters we find are mutated. What about this NPC? From a magical country!? You're the wrong world server!"
GreenFabio: "I don't know, maybe there will be an update about magic in the future? We also don't know. What is clear, never underestimate the crazy brains of game developers."
Madara: "Is there anyone here who wants to study with merchant Linfa? I want to be able to do magic too!"
SilverBoy: "You think killing NPC merchant Linfa can inherit all of his skills like in other video games?"
[Ding! SilverBoy players are banned for one full day. This is the first warning before a player's qualification is permanently revoked.]
....
Snorted his nose, and took note of the player's name sliverBoy, so as not to give him a chance to kill him. Linfa who saw the players' epileptic words, and the flattery they spoke, nodded his head in satisfaction.
Danger don't just come from outsiders. but also from players who lost their logic.
Linfa, need to worry about them too.
It seemed he had to come up with a rule for these players so they wouldn't get out of hand.
This will keep him busy.
