+
Side Task: Find out who the imposter is.
============================
Samur read the details on the screen as he rubbed his chin and thought 'The requirements said that we need to survive for 7 days and there is also a side task that says to find out who the imposter is meaning the side task is not the main point, but! Why is the title of the game named Gues who instead of survive or something?'
'So odd, is it messing up our minds?'
He then glanced at the player named Cozbi who was still coaxing everyone
A malicious smirk appeared on his lips as he thought 'He said he's a veteran, so let's see what's his explanation about this game'
Just as he expected, Cozbi explained the situation
"This game is only C level so it's still bearable, just like what is says we need to survive for 7 days and the game can be finished"
The high-school girl who introduced herself as Miya raised her hand and asked "What does it exactly mean when it said to survive for 7 days?"
Cozbi nodded and said "Even though I said that this is only a C level game, it is not that simple as it sounds"
Cozbi pointed his finger at the side task as he said "See the side task? It means that there is an imposter among us, and his task is unlike us, he needs to kill us"
"What?!"
Everyone became dumbfounded.
"But why does he get a different task?" The middle age man who's name is Alexander asked
"To make the game much more interesting" Cozbi replied solemnly
Heaving a deep sigh he said hesitantly "Actually, right now we are live and being watched as entertainments for them"
"Who's watching us?" Nathan asked
Cozbi: "Constellations"
Nathan: "What?"
Cozbi looked up at the ceiling as he said with a frown "Constellations are powerful beings that are watching us for fun"
He continued "For them, we are like players or contestants from hunger games...an entertainment. They love to see us struggle, die, betray, betrayed, and kill each other like some kind of animal"
Miya shook as she muttered "How horrible..."
Cozbi only nodded solemnly
Everyone carefully looked up thinking 'Someone is watching us?'
A blonde woman then said "Then they are not humans?"
Cozbi: "No they aren't"
Alexander: "Then how are we supposed to find the imposter?"
Cozbi: "That is not now need to be worried as the task for the chosen imposter is not yet given"
The stiff shoulder of Alexander and the other's relaxed a bit but still didn't let their guard down
A person wearing a business suit then raised his hand and asked "Are the coins of the reward real money?"
Cozbi shook his head as he said "No, but this coins are valuable for survival"
"The moment a player runs out of coins will die immediately"
"So, does anyone else have any questions?" Cozbi asked as he looked around
Just then, he felt a stare behind him that made his spine run in shiver
Turning around slowly, he was met with a pair of yellow hazel eyes with sharp eye like pupil glowing in the dark
'What...when did he- was he always been there from the start?'
Samur seemed to notice this strange reaction and followed his sight to see the same pair of yellow hazel eyes
His eyes widened slightly, just like Cozbi, he thought 'There was a person there?'
Cozbi and Samur then thought in unison;
Cozbi: 'He could've sneaked up behind and kill me without me even noticing anything'
Samur: 'He could've sneaked up behind and kill him without anyone even noticing anything'
Everyone else also noticed this strange reactions and was about to follow their line of sight when suddenly-
Bang!
A loud sound came from upstairs and they all ubruptly turned their heads upwards including Cozbi and Samur
"What was that just now?!"
Cozbi: "A monster perhaps..."
"Huh?! What do you mean?!"
Cozbi: "In this game, Monsters and Ghosts also exists but they have limitations on how many and when they could appear and kill"
"And when is that exactly?" Nathan asked with one eyebrow raised
Cozbi: "Mostly at night starting 9pm, especially when everyone's asleep"
Nathan then checked the time on his watch but was only interrupted by Cozbi as he said "The time here and earth are different"
"What..."
Cozbi: "Even though I don't know the exact time, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that right now is night time and we need to find a sleeping place"
Jean asked "We're gonna sleep?"
Cozbi: "Of course since not having any sleep can take a huge disadvantage for us, but don't worry, we'll take turns in guarding in case the imposter comes out and decides to kill or maybe the monsters"
With that being said, they decided to find a room to rest
Even though the conversation seems to be going well, of course not all are in favor as some decided to go separate rooms
While everyone else went upstairs to find rooms, Samur was left behind as he casually leaps onto the couch
"Haah...Nice and relaxing..."
Eru at the side has his eyebrows twitched at this sentence as he thought 'Nice and relaxing my foot, it's fucking 20°, you probably only said that since you feel death is coming closer to you'
Samur lies flat his back on the couch as he closed his eyes and said with a smile "So, do you have anything to say to me, hm?"
Currently they are in the huge living room area and only the 2 of them are present
Even though Eru moved to another corner and kept silent, Samur already noticed him when Cozbi saw him
So even if Samur doesn't know where he is currently at, he knows that Eru is still here not needing to see him
Eru could've just stayed quiet or left, but instead he stepped out of the shadow and said calmly "Nothing much, just thought we could share some ideas"
Samur opened one of his eyes as he said with a grin "Eh? Really, sure!"
Samur sat up straight like a well behaved kid
Eru ignored it and sat at the opposite couch of Samur
Samur stared at him for a while before narrowing his eyes
With a smile, he reached out his hand and said "Nice to meet you! I'm Samur Eckart at your service!"
Eru didn't showed it, but he momentarily glanced at the hand reaching out to him before he said "Eru Frost."
Samur teased him "Don't want to shake hands?"
Eru calmly answered "I have a phobia of being touched"
Samur raised one of his eyebrow and said with an amused tone "Oh?"
Eru didn't answer and only looked at him expressionless
Just then, Samur smiled slyly before-
Whoosh!
Samur raised his foot and aimed at Eru's face
Of course Eru easily dodged it and tilted his face to the side a little
He muttered "That was close"
Samur only said "Liar" and thought 'He clearly saw it coming, he did not even flinch'
Whoosh!
Samur raised his foot again as he spinned it aiming at Eru
Creack
Doing a cartwheel on the desk he flew towards Eru and continued his kicks
Unfortunately for him though, Eru was still able to perfectly dodge and block it
It was also considerate that Samur's fighting skill is already far beyond any normal teenager could do and yet, Eru never complimented him nor seemed surprised at his fighting
Also...
Those blocks and dodge he did seemed to be very familiar with, it's as if he knows his moves
'I see...then, let's do this!'
Unlike his usual stance, he instead made his body much more closer and his hands were aimed at Eru's shoulder this time
Eru looked at it and thought 'Dislocating trick'
Right now Eru is in a dangerous position, if he dodges the other side of his body would be the one to be injured, if blocked then lower legs would be the one to hit
It is similar to the case in chess where the king is on the very top right corner and was surrounded by all dangerous chess pieces such as queen and rook in a triangle shape like
There is no where to run-
Whoosh!
Samur widened his eyes as he thought '...What-'
Thump!
Eru grabbed Samur's hand that was aimed at his shoulders and then jumped over, pulling Samur's whole body to his previous spot
Eru lightly landed on the ground as his red coat fluttered a little
Samur still has his back on Eru after what happened
Samur fell silent for a moment before turning around with a beaming smile on his face as he said "Not bad! Are you practicing something?"
Eru nonchalantly spoke and said "Piano and violin"
Samur only smiled and said "You're good at joking"
'But I am not joking though...' Eru wanted to say but swallowed it back
'Well, fortunately or not, I think I peaked his interest'
'Then he wouldn't be probably thinking of dying right now since there will be entertainment'
- Ding!
'...And looks like he was not the only one that I peaked interest on me...'
'They're finally here'
[Constellation 'God of Death' is interested in player 'Samur Eckart']
[Constellation 'Abyssal God' is interested in player 'Eru Frost']
[Constellation 'God of War' is interested in player 'Samur Eckart']
[+4 Constellations has joined the channel]
Eru stared at the ceiling, more likely at the blue screens appearing before him and Samur
Actually, only the constellation who is interested in a player will be the only notification that player would see
And so Eru could only see the [Constellation Abyssal God] while Samur could see the [Constellation God of Death and God of War]
Samur looked up and asked with his arms crossed "Are these the constellations that glib tounge user (Cozbi) spoke about?"
Eru only hummed as a reply.
Samur then said "But aren't their names a bit cringy? Like that God of War and God of Death?"
[Constellation 'God of Death' is displeased]
[Constellation 'God of War' sneered coldy at player 'Samur Eckart']
Eru didn't say anything and looked calm but he was very engrossed in his thoughts right now
'Wait, why is the God of War here? Isn't he supposed to be watching that guy right now?'
'Is it because I foughted with Samur?'
'...Well, when I get to help that guy the God of War would probably instead watch him instead of Samur'
'And-'
Eru glanced at the blue screen floating above him
[Constellation 'Abyssal God' is interested in your scheme]
'Why is this guy here? I only made him show up at chapter 100 above, he shouldn't be here yet...afterall, he is a high ranking constellation'
'And also, scheme? What does he think I am? A manipulative person?'
'Well, whatever, I hope you enjoy as much as you want for the show I'm preparing, Abyssal God'
Tap Tap
Eru walked off towards the stairs and Samur, just like most (everyone) wasn't able to notice Eru leave as he was focus on bickering with the constellations
As Eru walked he thought 'It was unfortunate that I wasn't able to have a proper conversation with Samur, but it doesn't matter'
'I will make both of the task in finishing this task easy for Samur to move on to the next game and also make it entertaining or else he would kill himself out of boredom'
'I just need the final step'
- Ding!
- System binding with host is now starting
Eru stopped his steps as he looked up at the yellow screen and thought 'Speaking of the devil'
[Binding:....98%.....]
- Ding!
- Binding complete!
- Congratulations for the system and host on becoming partners!
The yellow screen was then replaced by a blue screen as it said
[System999: Hello Host! I am your personal system from now on, I'm System999!]
***
The Author has something to say:
Samur: "Jeez you guys think you're so great and powerful, how about you come down here and fight with me, hm?"
[Constellation 'God of Death' scoffs and says sure but you might die]
Samur: "Oh yeah? Go ahead and try I wouldn't die-"
'Wait, I would die? Oh my god, I would die by the hands of God of Death isn't that interesting and a good way to die?'
[Constellation 'God of Death' (Why do i have a bad feeling with that smile of his?)]
