The players present in the room where still in shock after realizing that it was no longer game they were playing but a battle for survival and the only way to survive was by getting stronger. The whole ordeal was taking a toll on some of them psychologically as if it were to be put into context, these were only kids after all.
"You would think this was a dream come true....you know being able to play your favourite game in person?...But this ..this is a nightmare!!!". Blair commented.
The others couldn't agree more as they all shared the same feeling. Someone in particular was having a turmoil but kept a brave face on. There just wasn't a person in the room with them that didn't feel the trauma from the experience they just had. It was truly a terrifying thing for them especially at this age to witness that much chaos and killings that happened.
"My mum....she must be worried sick".. ..." I can't die here, I don't know what she would do if I did "... Rodney thought as he had his fist clenched in determination. It was clear as day that he had some special relationship with his mother, one that was quite strong as well. Being the now only child to a single mother, all he had ever known was his mother which explains why he was so attached to her and thinks about her all the time.
They were all speechless and had a lost look on their faces . Rodney although not feeling exactly calm about the current situation himself, thought it was up to him to say something to calm them down. After all he was the supposed leader of the faction and if any thing, he was used to this kind of role from the online games he would play where he would lead a team on a mission.
Well this wasn't exactly the same situation as back then those people were all merely connected wirelessly to a single network but now in this case, he could actually see the people he would lead physically. But it didn't change a thing as he was quite the natural born leader in the first place though he wouldn't show this to anyone out in the real world where he came from as he was quite known for being a loner.
"Guys we can't just sit here and sulk about what's gone wrong and what hasn't ....clearly we were brought here for a reason and I don't know about you all but I want to get stronger so I can ...". And just as he was about to say something, he got interrupted by a notification, another quest but this one gave him a fright.
*Bing*
[Head to the town square to hear the news that would be delivered by the Game lord]
Another quest in such short time? They all thought. The thought of stepping outside wasn't exactly thrilling to any of them given what they just survived not too long ago from. With the fear that those ninja assassins might still be out there he just didn't have the courage to lead them outside.
"I believe we all got that" Rodney asked. "Who else isn't going?" Rodney added and raised his hand. Thinking to himself how not so much of a brave leader he was right now. But still, his self preservation instincts surpassed that of the leader instinct in him which was actually not even a whole lot to begin with in the first place.
"I might lose their respect but certainly not my life".. He resolved within himself looking at their faces for who else would concur to his decision. It took a while as they all glanced at each other as if waiting for one of them to make the first decision. Well this was a usual habit in a group when a tough decision was about to be madeand although they were in a different world altogether, nothing much had changed about their natural way of thinking.
"We have to go" Erwin the red haired boy said.
"Yeah who knows what consequences awaits us if we ditch or fail a quest?" Blair added..
"Yeah. If it's the game who brought the ninja's, I'm sure it must have taken them back before issuing out a new quest, besides if we don't know what the game lord has to say then how will we even leave here in the first place?" Mia added.
Rodney thought they all made valid points and decided to go on with the quest. "How bad can it get ?" ...he thought to himself but quickly regretted it as bad things had happened not quite long ago anytime they felt optimistic. This was becoming a given in this world now. He wondered if the controlling board of this world hated optimism and good luck. Well that was just a random wild thought he had pushed to the side rather quickly.
"Who's stepping out first?" Corey asked showing he hadn't gotten over the last event just yet. With him being the smallest and the green hair on his head making him look like a small plant, it didn't exactly come as a surprise when he expressed his lack of excitement about being the first to step out.
"On the count of three we all leave, ..one,.....two..." Rodney was about to say three when someone else said it.
"Three!!".. Blair said and dashed out like a maniac towards the town square.
"You were supposed to wait for everyone!!" Rodney said following behind.
"Is he always like that?" Erwin asked with an amused face..
"You have no idea" Mia replied with a face that said she was tired of it all. They all kept running and eventually caught up with Blair who was standing looking and looking ahead with both hands placed just on top of his w*ist.
——————
As they arrived at the town square there was a big difference from when they first arrived. Many people were gone, wasted, brutally killed from the attack earlier.The sight indeed was not one that one would love to be around for long. They looked to hear what ever the game Lord had to say and leave immediately.
Suddenly the sky began to turn red once again. The teens looked less bothered than the last time this happened as then it turned out to be the game lord who appeared. And just like the last time a face with a mask like that of the assassin's that attacked appeared in the clouds."I see you managed to survive the first wave of my attack but I promise you this is one of many attacks heading your way"....."you won't survive this one". The voice said and immediately began to laugh out loud with the sound covering the entire area. Right now it was like a god looking down at puny beings and mocking them.
"Survive which one?" Was the thought on everyone mind as they all feared the worst. Then it became clear what the game Lord was talking about as the Sky's red colour thickened and now looked blood red.
"Run...run...run!!!!!!" Eiko shouted and didn't need to repeat him self as everyone took to their heels.
"Why ....today alone"... Blair complained as he continued to sprint forward. Looking carefully one could see the coloured sky fading but this wasn't a sign that the game Lord was leaving like the last time, in actual fact, this was a different thing set up all together. As the colour was fading, along with it came red looking liquid and making contact with a building, it had made holes through it effortlessly and this didn't stop here as more poured down like rain, it melted the entire building.
"It's larva guys, we can't outrun that as well as the lightning bolts" Eiko screamed. There wasn't just larva raining down, no this was swiftly followed by larva bolts as they had a dark red appearance and struck the same way an actual larva would. If there was anything that was certain, they were in a world of trouble at the moment.
"The end ... shadow knight" the game lord said in a menacing tone and the rain and lightning increased it's descending speed and the whole place lit up red. It was a real show of power and as the place returned to normal the sight in front was terrifying to behold as the buildings destroyed, the dead dead bodies from earlier were no more as they looked to have disintegrated,not a single body could be found.
During the larva rain as the group was running from the chaos that was happening, Rodney had spotted something that gave him hope that they'd survive.
"Hey guys ...follow me!!" He shouted while still running. The others running listened and followed him but soon started having second thoughts as they saw Rodney running straight for a wall. They were about to call out to him but their mouths were left wide open as they saw Rodney disappear into a painting that lit up. Seeing this as their chance they all increased their speeds as the lava cloud was moving in their direction and soon the rain would catch up to them.
Standing off afar in the middle of all the chaos that was going on was the game lord. He gently adjusted his helmet before removing it. Looking at his face now, there wasn't a doubt he was absolutely good looking. His face looked like that of an angel, well except for some few rough edges to it, he was absolutely perfect. His red long hair flowed down all the way to his waist region.His eyes were fiery red and he had a single line that was glowing red on his head. As he turned around, he began sniffing the air like a dog picking up the scent of a bone.
"Bots!" He shouted and a group of assassin's from just like frombefore, up to 50 appeared behind him.
"Find him!!" and they all scattered around the place immediately.
"You can't run forever shadow knight" he said clenching his fist really tight and as he did the lava from before that had fallen to the ground all turned rock solid.
"I will put an end to you this time for good!!!" The game lord declared and then vanished leaving the spot he stood with his foot prints that looked to still be burning up the ground.

Assassins...?
They had all received the last notification at the same time and it confused them a bit. But one person wasn't at all shocked by this. This might have been the first time the others were getting a demon reference but for Rodney, this was just another proof that some voice in his head wasn't lying at all. Nonetheless, they couldn't standby and think about the quest handed to them by the system, they had a plan to finish. And this plan was very simple.After realizing who the three outside cell were, they knew playing on their intelligence would be a walk in the park and they weren't wrong about that as they had managed to get them excited enough to actually fall for their perfectly laid trap. And this trap was in form of Corey, the boy with the green hair packed in a ponytail. "In five to ten seconds you will all be on the floor" Corey said to the three in his cage torturing him. For one this came as a surprise to Orin, Tuffy and akira. They hadn't expected the sleeping substance to f
New quest received
The plan had begun right from the moment Akira made that slip up by giving out their identities. It wasn't head scratcher from then on what they needed to do. The only missing item in their plan was communication, and that was where a certain annoying voice came through for Rodney."You know the Rings are bonded to your DNA right?" Gypson said to Rodney. He had been silent for a while listening to all the plans Rodney was simulating in his head and they all came down to getting the others to play along. Each time he came to that stop, he would restart the plan to see how he could eliminate the others out of it and just go solo. But it seemly looked like he wouldn't be able to do this one on his own."Yes, what has that got to do with what's happening right now" Rodney asked as he wasn't too keen to give room for any distractions. He felt like he had gotten them all into this by asking them to surrender. And now wasn't the time for a chit chat with the voice in his head. "So, all you
A mistake
"I knew you guys had something to do with what happened to us that day!!". Erwin said with veins popping out of his head. It was obvious he was livid at this point and he had all right to be. He and the team were deceived by the trio outside the cell, drugged and stolen from. Even if all this weren't crime enough, the fact that these trio had the guts to come before them still had just done it for Erwin. He yanked on his chain hard trying to break free to get to the trio outside all to no avail."Calm down you all. If it makes you feel any better, we had you poisoned twice. But somehow you guys managed to ignore the effects of the second one. If you guys had just gone down then, we would have come silently to pick you up and there will be no need for the whole drama that went down today" Tuffy explained."And to think the dose was double of what was given initially" Akira added What he said made sense to the group as some days earlier, they had received a special notification like th
Toxin immunity
*Bing*[Substance effect reversed][Immunity developed]"Urgh..what the...where am i. And what's holding me?" Rodney said as he found he was unable to move his limbs freely. He was only just waking up and the first thing he noticed was that he was in a dimly lit space with metal bars standing and serving as some type of wall separating each segment of what he was in now, a cage. He looked at himself and could see that he was chained up to the wall. Both his legs and arms to that effect, limiting his movement to a great degree. As if that wasn't enough, he could feel a slight pricking pain at the side of his rib and multiple places on his back. When he looked down at his ribs, he could see why. The toxic sharp thorns from Damien earlier were still stuck inside of him. But with the way he was restricted, there was no way he could pull it out of him. But that was the least of his worries at the moment as a scary thought entered his mind when he realized something."Guys!!.. Guys!!.." He
Traitors(2)
After deactivating their abilities, they all turned to each other looking at one another before proceeding to raise both their arms to show mutual agreement. On seeing their action, the man in charge turned to his men and ordered that they made way for the boys to pass. And without hesitation, a path was cleared almost instantly for the boys. The man turned to look at the boys once more signalling their path had been made and they were now to walk through now."Let it be known that one wrong move and my little friend here might just have all your men here kill themselves" Blair threatened. But this wouldn't faze the man as he had had it up to here. Without thinking he blurted out his own threat back at the group of boys."This is only a temporary truce. My team and I won't hesitate to chop down any opposition if sited". If there was any hope of things calming down between the two parties, it was certainly thrown out of the window. As now the pressure was now more mounted between both
Traitors(1)
Mia and Blaze were currently being escorted by five men who all had their hands on the hilt of their weapons. They weren't going to take any chances as word had gotten to them about the chaos that was ongoing at the male's lodge. The girls seeing their action, could only imagine what the boys were doing now. If not anything, they both had one name on their mind that could single handedly cause all the chaos needed in the blink of an eye."If you are not going to tell us what we did, can you atleast tell us where we are being taken to?" Mia asked the closest to her of which she got no reply as the only thing the man had in response to her question was a deep grunt. Minutes later, she could see the answer to her question up ahead. This was a place both girls remembered quite well, even if they had only been there once.Meanwhile at some other part of the faction, particularly the males lodge, the chaos was yet to settle. Currently anybody who would happened to walk around and stumble o
