Supreme cautiously walked down the stairs, making sure to keep his guard up. The stairway was so dim that he couldn't even see five steps below, but out of curiosity he marched forward.
After five minutes later, he finally reached the end of the stairs. Supreme looked around the dark surrounding and discovered only one wooden door. With A firm resolve he walked towards the door and pushed it opened.
What came into view was an empty small room, which was eight meters long and six meters large, the walls around the room was a little plain with no colors or decorated. It was just... black.
He walked towards the round table in the room, which was the only thing present in the whole space.
"Are you kidding me?!! All that for an empty room!!" Supreme growled in mild annoyance.
"Welcome chosen one"
At that moment an enchanting voice sounded, drawing his attention. Supreme observed the white glowing light, which appeared out of thin air.
"Chosen one?"
He was a little confused.
The light shone brightly, causing him to close his eyes because of the radiant of the light.
After a while, he opened his eyes and what he saw next made him speechless. "Are you an... Angel?"
In front of him was a beautiful woman with golden hair and eyes, pale skin and purely sexy in her white robe. Four white wings spread out behind her as she gently landed on the ground.
"You can call me that chosen one." The Angel said with a loving smile.
"Why are you calling me the chosen one?" Supreme asked in mild confusion.
"You have been chosen by a mystical power to save the world, and its inhabitants." The angel said.
"Hold on there, save the world... mystical power? Let me remain you angel, we are in a game, so what is the big deal about all this chosen one or stuffs. Just give me the skin."
"Game?" The young angel tilted her head to the right, utterly confused.
"Yes "game" and you might be the NPC (Non player character.) Of the game." Supreme stated, his patient getting thinning by the second.
"I think you got it all wrong chosen one, this is not a game but real. Let me ask, those who played the game, as you called it and got killed. In other words, lost the game; is there a game over, and they could play again?"
Supreme was silent for a while. 'When you die, you die for good. But... it's still a game. Because the outside world is still waiting for the winner. SO WHAT ARE THESE SCRAPS SHE IS SAYING?!!!' He yelled the last part inwardly.
{I think host should stop asking questions, because if you anger her, you won't know how you die.}
Supreme nodded silently and stared at the angel. "So what are you saying?"
The angel gave him a bright smile. "The chosen one only have one task, and that is to save this world from the calamity."
'Calamity? So she is an NPC after all, asking me to kill that behemoth. Is she crazy?!!' Supreme yelled inwardly but stared at her calmly. The angel was also staring at him, waiting for his answer.
"Sorry, but I don't think..."
His words were cut off by the system's voice.
{Hidden quest activated.}
{Kill the Calamity.}
{Reward: permanent cheat.}
'System! Are you with her?! Sending me to my death!!!'
Supreme was planning to refuse the angel's request, but the system just had to give him a quest.
{Host, the quest is optional, but if you refuse to accept the quest, you will lose a permanent cheat.}
'What is the difference between a permanent cheat and the ones I have now?'
{Permanent cheat, could be use both in any game and in the real world, while temporary cheat can only be use in a specific game. The same principle also applied to AI.}
{That's Why some lucky or high level players could use higher class weapons and skills in the real world.}
'Hmm... this is really tempting, but... That is a LV 15 monster.'
{You have killed nine LV 10 monsters, and even made one your slave, with the combination of you and reaper, you might be able to win.}
'I didn't think of that! Ok, I accept the quest.'
{Kill the Calamity before the time is off.}
{TIME: 02:59:58.}
Supreme blinked.
'You didn't tell me there is a timer!!'
{You didn't ask.}
"What is your answer chosen one?"
Before he could yell at the system again, he heard the angel's voice. He sighed and nodded. He had already accepted the system's quest, he will be a dumbass if he didn't accept the angel's, even though the quests are the same, they give different rewards.
The beautiful angel smiled brightly seeing him nod, and quickly said. "To kill the Calamity you will need a powerful sword."
Supreme was surprise hearing these, he fixed his eyes on the angel as she moves her pale hand, the next moment a golden sheathed sword appeared in her hands.
'This is the sword that man in the painting was holding.' Supreme thought inwardly as the angel handed him the sword.
"Use it well, Chosen one."
The moment he touched the weapon, both AI's and the system's voice sounded.
{Congratulation, Host have been bounded with a legendary permanent weapon.}
"A fucking permanent weapon, It look like I am the only player who have gotten to this stage. Others will rather be the last one standing and win the game, following AI's advice. As I did in my previous life."
"But with the cheating system, I got to this stage and with what AI said, I won't be able to leave this game without killing that monster. Why is my life so unlucky?"
Supreme was on the verge of tears, but he took a deep breath and nodded. "I can do this" he said.
"Thanks again chosen one, may the mystical power be with you" with that said, she turned back into the white light and disappeared from the room.
"I think it's over, ok... TIME to kill a LV 15 monster." Supreme gripped the sheathed sword tightly and walked out of the room, to face something he had no hope of winning against.
