As Baek Hyun guides me to the rest, I notice the surroundings are different. There are weird markings on top of everyone. Baek Hyun also has one. It said π΅ ππ°π½πΊ, I guessed that was the lowest since most of the people surrounding us had π΅.
"Guys! We're here." I see a purple-haired female shyly waving at us, not wanting to garner attention.
I guess everyone changed how they looked.
"Hi everyone, does anyone know what's happening?" I ask the four.
"We're obviously stuck here, that's for sure!" An irritated Sora states.
Min Jung Sae, who was observing from the corner, snaps at Sora "Hey, calm down...We won't figure out anything if you keep being negative!"
Sora looks away and blushes in embarrassment as I nudge him with my elbow.
"I think I know what's happening." I calmly say.
"Well what is it, we don't have all day." Sora impatiently asks as he comes closer.
"We are trapped in the game we were playing yesterday night..."
"You mean VR MANIA?... How is that possible?" Hyun Jae questions my point
[Precisly, you are stuck in this "game", A battlefield, A WAR!]
The dark elf called Phantomhive appeared from nowhere.
"G-GAHHHH! DUDE, YOU SCARED ME" Min Jung Sae cowers away and hides behind Sora.
[Once again players, I humbly welcome you to VR MANIA.]
Multiple players stare at the dark elf as he continues speaking in fear, anger and confusion.
[As you all know, My name is Phantomhive...VR MANIA is a place where the weak have to survive and the strong conquer, any losses will result in DEATH]
Min Jung Sae questions jokingly, " Is this guy on drugs?"
[Players can raise their ranks by doing quests and dungeons...everyone here is at π΅ ππ°π½πΊ -The weakest out of them all]
[all of you will be given the starter weapon you have chosen]
Suddenly, the katana I chose appeared in my hand, Baek Hyun had a magic staff, while Min Jung Sae and Hyun Jae had a bow and arrow set. Sora had...Nothing.
"Sora where is your weapon?" I ask while kind of tilting my head in confusion.
"There was another option at the bottom for me, I chose shield for defence" He answers me while showing me his shield.
"This is great we can be a team and get through this together!" Min Jung Sae assuringly states.
"I agree" Baek Hyun adds.
[One more thing to add before I leave, when you raise your ranks, you earn more in-game money!]
[Good luck players!]
"Hey wait up! Why are you doing this?!" A man from the crowd yells, he appeared to have a yellow beard and gold teeth.
[For fun]
Just as Phantomhive speaks, the man with the beard's head flew off...
"WHAT THE HELL?" I shout in horror as the blood gushes and oozes out.
[Oh right I Forgot, You are not allowed to question me or else your head will fly off like that poor manβ]
Everyone goes into a panic, people screaming here and there, It's horrendous!
Just as I take in what happened, I notice a tan, slender male with white hair and purple eyes...he seemed skilled? I saw the rank on top of him-he was π° ππ°π½πΊ...he noticed me staring at him and smirked, then looked away. he seemed to use just a dagger.
"Hey Kazumi, are you ok?" Baek Hyun asks almost staring into my soul.
"yeah, I'm fine"
Hyun Jae advises, "Guys we should start doing dungeons to raise our ranks just as Phantomhive said, but before that, we should get used to our weapons."
Everyone agrees with her.
"While Baek Hyun was dragging me here I saw a place that kind of looked like a training area, maybe we could go there?" I add
"Sounds like a plan!" Min Jung Sae eagerly accepts.
We hiked towards the spot, it had a lot of training dummies or also known as Mu ren zhuang, and it also had a library.
"This place is useful!" Sora says as he looks through all the books.
I look around the room and I see this beautiful Katana, It had a blue handle and a clock on the end...It also had this menacing aura I couldn't explain. The wooden pedestal, which was holding it, stated it was π ππ°π½πΊ. It was called "ππ’π¦π ππππ©ππ«".
I took the Katana in my hand and a powerful surge of magic went through my veins...It was as if time had stopped.
