Chereads / The Onyx Corp. / Chapter 3 - A New Friend

Chapter 3 - A New Friend

After entering the portal like everyone else did, Luke was suddenly teleported to a dense forest region. It was daytime.

"Okay, since everyone is here, lets spilt into group of 3 to make our work easier." Marker decided on behalf of everyone.

[ Host is teleported to Planet Koro ]

[ You are currently at Darkwood Forest ]

Darkwood Forest, from its name alone, wealthy lumberjacks strive to get teleported here to get the highest quality of wood. But according to Inter-Planetary Nature Laws and Guidance states that there is a limit to how many trees can be cut down at a particular time. However, there are ruthless people who ignore this law and proceed to cut more than what is allowed. When the TQ-981 aka the Tree Protecter Robots step in to arrest those who broke the law, they were instantly destroyed with no trace of those who destroyed them.

This was a major issue and the Universal Council could not take it anymore as they would be wasting resources. But as what you would be thinking, the Council approached Onyx Corp. right? Wrong! The Council gave up on protecting Darkwood Forest and anyone is allowed to clear up the trees. Then what is Onyx Corp. doing here?

"So according to secretary Esther, intel has been leaked that True North is going to claim the forest and our main goal is prevent this from happening as this area would make a good outpost." Marker informed the team on the objective of being here.

So then, they spilt into groups of three. Team A included Marker, Ember and Lynn. Team B included Ava, Eva and Lily leaving Luke, William and Sarah in Team C. Then everyone starting going towards the capture point that discussed earlier. Team A was going to occupy the center of the forest. Team B was occupy the Northern part of forest leaving Team C to occupy the Southern Part.

Following Team C, the three were silent for half the journey as it was akward to have a new member. But Luke toke initiative and started a conversation with William.

"Hey William." Luke callled out.

"Yeah Luke." William responded.

"So what is your class?"

"My class?"

"He meant what role do you play, dumbie,"Sarah intervened on Luke's behalf.

"Hey!Dont call me a dumbie,you are the dumb one." William insulted back at Sarah,

"..."

"I think Marker made a terrible choice putting these two together," Luke thought inwardly.

"So what role do you play William?" Luke rephrased his question this time to make William understand.

"He plays as a healer." Sarah responsed this time only William to grab her neck in quick succession.

"Are you called William?" William questioned Sarah still holding her neck.

"Mhmnn, I like it when you hold me like that." Sarah said in a seductive voice making William feel disgusted letting her fall on her fat ass.

Then Luke stopped on his tracks because of what the system displayed to him.

[ In 200m, 1200 enemy forces will notice your presence ]

The other two also received the same notification but still continued to walk in the same direction where the enemy forces are located.

"Hey, Luke dont worry, we're friends so noone will dare touch you," William said looking at Luke's eyes.

The three continued on with the walking and the enemy forces who looked like be to be building an outpost noticed the presence of the three. But before they could make a reaction. William already jumped in the air and casted a spell.

"Rooted Attack!"
