Somewhere in the district. Baek who was riding a horse activate his skill and said.
"Arise."
With a commanding tone, a group of skeleton from the corpse of the enemy suddenly rise.
They wore their simple old weapons and armor while discarding the once flesh they have.
Soon enough, this small army attack the enemy without fear. Making baek to smile in satisfaction.
"Master am finish with my duty."
Looking at the woman wearing the same clothes as him. The corpse of a high ranking character was in his shoulder and present to baek.
Looking at this with cold gaze. He then tap his finger in the phone and a blank card was materials.
Then he throw this card towards the corpse and the corpse was suck in the card. Revealing a picture of the person and the card came back towards his hand.
"Oh? A 5 star character. Not bad."
As he put the card in his phone. It suddenly banish in his hand. As soon as it finish storing the card in his phone.
While the fight still continued. He heard his phone ring and it display the picture of Asmodeus.
"Is there a problem Asmodeus?"
"Yes, master I have a little problem here or rather. A huge problem."
"Hmm?"
At baek's confused look. He didn't know who was strong enough to make Asmodeus to be cornered.
Asmodeus isn't a ordinary character. He is a 6 star character who was been with him before he became a actual player.
As he remain silent a bit, Asmodeus continued.
"Master, the boy you want to ask me to protect was taken by his own character."
"Huh?"
.....
Early hours before.
Asmodeus who look at his enemy only snorted and said.
"A five star wants to challenge me? You have a guts for a whore like you."
At Asmodeus provocation. The bikini armor woman look at him with distain. She never expecting that she will meet someone stronger that her but she isn't afraid.
Two more people came to her aid. Both of them are a five star character on which Asmodeus frown.
Even though he was stronger than them. His not very sure if he could protect toshi.
When toshi saw the three of them. He couldn't help help surprised.
He knew this people since he seen them before.
The bikini armor was Leona, a character in gacha game called orisis paradise. The next one was gladiolus from fantasy stellar and the last one was girist the warrior in the game called code zero.
This game character was highly popular in gaming community and even has a sticker in the phone messages.
Looking at Asmodeus, Leona spoke to Asmodeus.
"You, strong mage of different dimension. Why are you protecting that human?"
When Asmodeus glance at toshi. He then answer in mocking tone.
"And why would I answer your question lowly creatures?"
Upon answering with mocking tone. The three of them frown at him. But Asmodeus didn't care and communicate to toshi using telepathy.
"Boy, you better listen to me and don't talk back or you died so listen. When the fight begins. Run as fast as you can."
'what?!'
At toshi's reaction. Asmodeus continued without batting an eye to toshi and said.
"Kid, right now, I can't protect you from this vermin so once the fight starts run and hide. Don't worry once am done here. I'll find even if you are just a corpse."
Looking at Asmodeus in speechless. Leona laugh mocking as she covered his face like a third rate villain.
Both gladiolus and girist faces was seriously stared at Asmodeus with anger.
They knew that Asmodeus was strong but they will never forgive anyone who mock them.
"For a demon like you. You really are arrogant huh?"
As she move her whip in full speed. The end of the whip crack in the floor and said.
"Let's do this."
As the fight start. Asmodeus who was on guard. Raise his hands and summoned several dark knight in the ground. This makes the three of them focus on their eyes in the dark knight to attack.
But before toshi run. Asmodeus gave a last advice.
"One last advice, no matter what happens never trust the players."
When toshi heard this. Asmodeus kick him out and he was thrown outside the window.
With a bang. Toshi got out but he didn't feel pain when Asmodeus kick him or even the glass window shattered.
As he tried to think why he didn't feel pain. A explosion blow up inside the fast food. He didn't know what happened and he didn't want to know.
As soon as he ran. He can hear multiple explosion everywhere he go. In fact. The whole street became a battlefield.
As vicious monsters and people are fighting each other. He notice that some people who fought for the monster before was starting to fight each other too.
This whole place became a battle royal as everywhere he goes, fight and death are everywhere.
As soon as toshi change corners. The man who wears in fantasy clothes saw toshi after killing the man wearing a different fantastic clothes.
This makes the unknown man to smiled sinister and he wave his sword and said.
"What do we have here? A newbie joined in gacha wars. How lucky am truly was."
"G-gacha wars?"
"Oh? You didn't know? Well well well. That's even better."
As he slowly walk towards to toshi. He then said in a threatening tone.
"Bastard! Do you think you can get away with this? if the police showed up-."
As the man heard the name of the police. He couldn't help but laugh out loud like he heard a hilarious joke.
This makes toshi to feel uncomfortable as he slowly tried to back off.
"Of a newbie like you. You really are too funny huh."
Upon looking toshi with cold gaze. Toshi couldn't but shuddered and continued.
"Listen here trash. We are in gacha war. Where everyone except your allied are your enemies.
No matter how you scream, beg or even cry. Nobody will help you here. Moreover even if this is over.
You're corpse will just banished along side with this fellow. And even if you're incredibly got here alive. Nobody will believe you? Do you know why?"
Looking at the unknown man in fear. He gave a large smile and said.
"Because there is no witnesses here."
"Witness?"
"Yeah, witness. Look around you. Did you see those people who look like a statue? That the prove that nobody saw us even if you died here."
For a moment. Toshi has a hunch too. But he never believe it.
No matter what kind of excuse he send to himself. Truth was already in his face. Yet again. After what the man send he remembered something and said.
"Wait?! Is this also why there are many numbers of unknown death incident in this city?!"
"Kekeke... Of course. Those people who died in unknown incident was a players in this game. So be a good boy and die!"
When the man raise his sword to kill toshi.
He quickly dodge the attack and run as fast as he could. For a moment. The unknown man didn't chase or kill him right away.
In fact. He likes to play his pray before he get killed.
"Run my little mouse rat?!"
As toshi keeps running. He thinks careful from everything that the man said. But there is one person who knows everything and that is baek. Right now he needs to stay alive if he wanted to know who killed his brother.
As toshi start thinking. He notice that some of the people keep tapping their phones including baek earlier.
So while running. He quickly took his phone and search something.
He didn't know what he will find in his phone. But it was his only best option he have.
As he keep searching in his phone. He notice that the unknown app on which he saw in his brother's phone was already installed in his phone without knowing.
This makes toshi to be surprised since h never install this app, but what's even more surprising what there are tons of notification pops out on the app.
Without hesitation. He quickly tap the red eyed app. And his phone screen change.
In a next moments. A woman wearing a Vail spoke in English.
"Welcome to gacha wars mister toshi hoshimiya. Please drag your favorite game in this app to upload you character and more."
"What?"
As toshi was confused. A explosion blows up near him and look at the voice that coming to his back.
"Run boy! Run!"
Gritted his teeth. He quickly drag his favorite game in the gacha war app while running.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Please wait a while until the loading was finished."
Looking at the 1/100% bar. Toshi could help but scream in anger.
"Fucking son of a bitch?!"
Looking at person who tries to kill him. He decided to change path and said.
"You want to kill me? Come and get it?!"
As toshi made a turn. He went to a mechanic building where people (who was freeze like statue) was working. And Decided to use it as obstacle.
When the unknown man saw this. He couldn't help but to click his tongue and said.
"Damn it."
Unlike material object like tables and chairs. This freeze living being are vulnerable in attacks. Meaning it's a good covered for both players and game characters.
"You might escape from me but let's make the game even more challenging!"
As he tap his phone screen. He then shouted.
"Materials: rocket launcher?!"
Unlike the rocket launcher in modern world. The rocket launcher was larger than the original and it looks like a shark too.
This makes toshi to be nervous since he knew this weapon was.
"Dammit, a monster hunter gamer?!"
Boom!
As soon as the rocket fired. Toshi quickly use the two people who looks like they are talking each other as covered.
When the rocket hit the gas tank. The whole area blows up except the people that freeze in time.
This makes toshi make sigh of relief as he take a look at his phone.
[80/100%]
After checking. Toshi quickly. Run away while the who building was covered in dust.
Toshi knew how troublesome the monster hunter gamers.
Most of their equipment are overkill since their enemy was a behemoth size monster. The reason why he knew this was, it was once Victor's favorite game before he got bored from it.
But he never forget the strongest weapon in the game called shark rocket. On which it can killed a full grown size monster in one shot.
Lucky for him. The people who got freeze like statue was the best covered for such attack. But he didn't want to risk it since he didn't know the pros and cons of those people.
As toshi took a right turned. The man who chase toshi spoke in irritation and said.
"The fun is over you little mouse."
Changing the shark rocket to a lighting bolt weapon. He then said.
"Die?!"
When toshi saw the thundering cloud. He became pale watching the clouds. He knew what kind of weapon it is and said.
"Shit?!"
Boom!
When the lightning strike hit the building. It suddenly incinerate the whole building in the area. Causing to toshi revealed himself.
This makes toshi to gritted his teeth as he tried to dodge the lighting attack.
The lightning weapon can only destroyed one target at a time. Meaning he will not be killed right away unless he doesn't dodge.
Moreover. It doesn't have a area of attack so his safe.
As the lighting finished destroying everything.
Toshi has no way to go. He couldn't hide or run and his opponent was already saw him.
"Found you."
As he slowly walking towards him. Toshi couldn't accepted his fate. Not until he found his brother's killer.
When the phone vibrate in his hand. He saw the notification saying it's complete.
Looking at the man who ignored his phone. He couldn't help but sigh and said.
"I hope this works or I died."
Tapping his phone in fast speed. Toshi spoke while twitching his lips.
"Materials: Lina the knight of heaven?!"
When the man saw this. He became frown as he quickly throw his sword towards toshi.
Most players who summoned a character is either a weak or strong. But he never let his guard down went to comes to summoning.
Toshi who saw this, couldn't help but felt fear in his heart as it cut off his shoulder and falls to the ground.
He knew that his death is coming but he still tried to save himself. And the savior has come.
The magic circle in front of toshi has materials in front of him.
A woman wearing a full plate armor. Who has a blue hair. Blue eyes and the face of a beauty has materials in front of the blooded toshi.
Her distinctive weapon the Longus spear weapon was attracting many characters and players around. She gave a aura of a strong knight and her sharp eyes gave her opponent a shivered in their spine.
Moreover, this new character became the center of attention that even the toshi's attacker became frozen in shock.
The reason?
Lina the knight of heaven was seven star character meaning. This strongest knight has a heroic character that even blessed by the gods.
