"Stop!!"
And with that shout, came an immerse increase in gravity. My knees instantly buckled and I fell to the floor, I tried resisting... but only got double the pressure in return.
I felt like shedding tears of blood.
How could 'one' person... Just 'one', bring down over a hundred player's with just a shout. All the player's I've been meeting so far were all OP... so why the f*uck, am I the odd one?.
"What kind of nonsense is this... Whoever gave me this trash class, I promise you this... I'll come for you when I'm powerful enough" I mumbled in anger
[That's what you are training for]
I never expected a reply such as that... And what did it mean by 'that's what I'm training for'. Are they in some kind of trouble and somehow needs our help? Is that why we are here... to train?
[You have unlocked 'Book of Divine']
'so for each mystery I crack... I get benefits. Which is also a way for them to tell me that I'm in the right direction.
[You have unlocked 'scythe of fate']
*Speechless*
'This... is... awesome!', for a second I forgot that I was under pressure and tried to stand, only to get slapped back to the floor. I looked up to see the girl in white standing above everybody else while bleeding from her nose, but regardless of that... she stood without wavering.
"What are you doing?" I asked with a frown.
"Is that your way of saying 'thanks'" she asked calmly
"Why should I thank you?... If I got shot, then I would've probably just lose couple of levels" I said with uncertainty.
"You would've been... f*cking... dead. That's part of the reasons we called this meeting" the 'dream' guy interrupted.
At that moment I felt the pressure evaporate, and I quickly stood up and began to dust my tuxedo pants before the dirt would get stuck on them.
"Seriously?... Did you hear what I just said" the 'dream' guy asked in amusement.
"Were you expecting a special reaction from me?" I asked, still dusting myself clean.
"Any player killed outside a safe zone would die both in-game and reality... Those killed in safe zones would lose all their abilities... Player's have been reportedly gone missing, and when I looked into it... I found out that the government here was behind it... What do you think the NPC's are doing with the player's?" The girl in white asked.
"How would I know that?" I replied, shrugging.
"Why aren't you concerned?" The 'dream' guy asked, while gritting his teeth.
"Why should I be?... Games are meant for having fun... So don't sweat it" I replied casually.
I really didn't care, all I had to do was crack some mysteries and get some gifts, then kill some assholes to level up.
A simple ambition.
"You said the government here are behind it..." I said, and turned around to leave, "what could you possibly do?" I chuckled, and began to walk away.
"We take them out!!" The 'dream' guy raised his voice in anger. I paused my steps and asked with a sigh...
"Family or friend?" No one would want to take the huge risk of rebellion except... someone close to them was involved.
"Both... both my best friend and sister are missing" the 'dream' guy said with a pained tone.
"So what do you suggest we do?" I asked, while turning to face him.
"We form an alliance... We are stronger together!" The girl in white finally spoke.
"And...?" I asked.
"Who the f*uck do you think you are to question her majesty?" A guy from behind the girl in white said with a menacing tone.
My expression instantly turned grim, and I quickly looked towards the city gate in a distance, then the distance far behind the girl in white.
"Who's responsible for the illusion?" I asked with a frown.
Everyone was surprised at my weird behaviour and sudden question.
"You're really smart aren't ya?..." A girl who was also behind the girl in white spoke with a grin and shattered like a mirror.
"Multi summon all equipments" I said to the system, and instantly...
I was covered with a black cloak with only my lips visible, an eye pendant hanging from neck and touching my chest, a black long scythe to my right hand and an ancient looking black book floating before me.
*Gasps*
"What's going on?" The girl in white asked with a frown.
"We've been surrounded!!... Prepare to protect the alliance".
