Allisium Chapter 26
Gina hadn't recovered, but she led us out of the crater, to where the green undergrowth rose and the trees stood tall and strong in the hot sun of the planet Ivalice. It was a system full of contrasts where you went from a desert wasteland to a beautiful valley in a matter of seconds.There was a big river, fine grass and the smell of nature, something that came in handy after the smell of rust, sweat and blood that we left behind in the crater. Those nightmare beasts would still have to give us many more headaches; we had killed three, but it was not enough.After seeing the redhead fight and show off her incredible powers, the three of us really wanted to gain experience and learn more skills from our legendary paths."Here we stay," Gina said as she reached a clearing and dropped to the ground."And the begimos ?" Dagon asked. Won't they attack us here?"Don't be naive, big guy," she replied, smiling. There are more monsters here than those beasts. Sure they'll attack us, but they
Allisium Chapter 27
We spent two and a half days defeating beelgs with paltry pauses between monsters and six hours of rest at night. Moment that Gina took advantage of to go out and find out about real life while we stayed in Ivalice cursing and hoping that all that suffering would be useful for something.We carried, if we hadn't lost count, the blood of sixty begim running through our bodies and armor. We had the tactic so systematized that it even seemed easy, although it was enough for one of those monsters to unleash an unexpected goring or a treacherous blow to complicate our virtuality.Kody's Loving Bear ability a couple of times to come to the big man's rescue. It wasn't his fault, maybe he couldn't defend himself well with the accumulated fatigue, but he also occupied a much more vulnerable position than the rest. Gina knew this, so she didn't hesitate to mislead the beast when she sensed Dagon drop to one knee or go flying through the air. Seeing a guy two meters tall and over a hundred kilos

We ran like never before to get to the main hotel in Tveirland, the one where we had already stayed for a few days when we arrived in the capital of the planet that paid homage to Star Wars and Jurassic Park . Just above it, on the upper log, was the Paladin's Guild Fountain."I'll wait for you here," Gina said. You can hurry now."That's a lot of experience points, ragazza , " Greek said sulkily. My skill tree is labyrinthine, not sure I can do it in such a short time."Rookie bunch..." the redhead blurted out. You can access your skill tree whenever you want, you Italian lout, you should know it by heart!How little he knew us."I've ever looked at it, yes…" Greek muttered under his breath."Mine isn't necessary," I replied. It is a straight line with ramifications that improve and enhance skills already learned.Bear Summons, for example, branched out to learn Loving Bear , Vital Bear , Kung”fu Bear , and Yes Sir . Before you could learn another invocation you had to have all of th

When we reached the main floor, we saw that Gina was waiting for us, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. Around him were thousands of panicked adventurers, arguing and shouting about how they were going to get out of there with virtuality intact.“How are you? I asked, walking over and gesturing for Greek and Dagon to keep them back from getting too close, just in case."I've lost my nerve," he replied, jaw clenched. Still, she was beautiful. Sorry guys, but I want you to understand that this is not just a game. If the Leproiners manage to get hold of Allsium, real life will be hell for their opponents. He looked at all of us and sighed. If I lose virtuality, I don't know what will happen to me in reality, but I won't allow Leproiner to take me alive, do you understand me?Gina would rather die than live a life like the one Greek led in reality. Even so, she lived in a caravan and moved from time to time, in case the Leproiners found her; it was a clear example of paranoia

"You must get used to finishing fights quickly," Gina scolded them both. This is not a video game, capito ? He made a very Italian gesture with his hand that made Greek raise his eyebrows. And you, big guy, should be more expeditious if you don't have the agility to run after anyone.“What does that mean? “asked.Gina raised her eyebrows and sighed."That you finish the job in one or two strokes," I clarified. Before he thinks of running away, he must already be dead."Or no legs," Greek murmured with a low laugh.“Whatever,” Gina said again, “but we can't waste time. The only one who has approved has been Gunner.Dagon and Greek clucked in disapproval when they saw him give them the victory gesture. For once he could get his chest out he wasn't going to let it go."We'll cross the river and avoid combat, you hear me?" He said it looking at Greek, of course. There will be nervous beasts that will try to attack us, so we will try to avoid them.That was going to be difficult. In additi

Harpy materialized just in time to take off and prevent me from crashing to the ground. I thanked him and he squawked with delight.I thought for a moment about what options I had, and in all of them I wondered why the hell I hadn't taken off with Gina and Dagon. I came to the conclusion that, when faced with difficult situations, nothing better than doing things in a big way."Thank you, Harpy!" I said as I jumped to the foot of the ridge the Allsionistas were beginning to climb. The rest of the place was abuzz with adventurers fighting against each other; the heartbreaking music of a war that threatened to take away thousands of travelers.I landed on the ground, cracks opening up under my feet. The extra strength was amazing. Although there was no time to throw flowers, because I was immediately surrounded by Allsionista with a thirst for blood."He's one of the leader's bodyguards!" shouted an Afronist. Let one group go up and finish off the other!"Nobody's going to get past here
Allisium Chapter 32
The remaining Kurayami members in the clearing near the hillside managed to dispatch the last remaining Allsionistas. They let those who didn't put up a fight flee, and created a security fence so that Greek, Robert, and I could leave combat mode behind and travel to the planet where Gina had gone to meet Adam Leproiner.Robert didn't want to tell us because it was top secret. It was an unbreakable rule that no one was informed of the travels of Gina, the second in command after the leader, according to Robert.Gina was too smart and controlled Kurayami from the shadows. He managed to have complete freedom while millions of supporters of the cause did his dirty work. From an ethical point of view, I didn't know if it was worthy of praise, but it had a lot of merit.While we waited, Robert did not stop talking about her. I had her idealized. He didn't even realize that he was giving him as much or more importance than the leader, of whom he said nothing. It was so absurd that he hadn't

The show had started. From the very center of the garden a gate opened, lifting an enormous base of operations skyward. Many seated people appeared, around twenty of them, and they kept hammering their holographic keyboards while exchanging impressions. It seemed that nothing that happened around them was with them and not even ascending to the top of Neo Terra prevented them from distracting themselves from their work."This is my boys," Leproiner said, gesturing toward the platform. They are the team of hackers that will take us directly to the New World.The platform finished moving and was just above our heads, in full view of all the other guests. A large metal spiral staircase then unfolded, inviting Leproiner to join his hackers."I'll be with you right away," said the tycoon, joking with his guests.The wealthy Allzionists applauded their leader, whose graceful walk didn't break down even as he climbed the steps that led him to change the world.I didn't know what to do, but I

“Are you ready? asked Patrick Cork, stroking his beard."Yes," I replied. I had been waiting for this day for a long time.I was nervous, it was the day of the worldwide launch of Allsium.Millions of people queued at AfroCrop headquarters to have the chip implanted that gave them access to the system.Allsium would go on the market with two game modes.The first was the one I had experienced five years before: stories lasting a maximum of ten days, that is, a year and a half in Allsium. They were adventures of an individual type, everything was created by the experience, fears and dreams of the participating subject.The second dealt with massive virtual reality. Worlds that AfroCorp had created so that all the players in the world could go on adventures and interact with each other. It was something like the evolution of massive online role”playing games, a game mode that would take entertainment to a new level never seen before. Players could experiment, as I had done in Allsium in

It was curious to see how the leaves of the few trees that were left standing in that immense garden were stopped in the sky. The wind wasn't blowing, Gina didn't move a hair, and the black dot that the Leproiners' helicopter had become was still on the horizon. I walked around the place trying to figure out what had happened, wondering if it was the power of a path.What I didn't know was why only I could move."You have pronounced the magic words," I heard a deep voice full of wisdom. I couldn't explain it, but it was like that.I looked around, but I couldn't find the owner of the voice. I drifted away for a bit, but it wasn't long before I was back with Gina.I was astonished to see that there were two people next to her.“Who are you?They were an old man and a young girl who looked very much like Gina. I was blank and not knowing what to say."Wow, we do look alike, yes. “His voice and hair were the same, but the way he gestured and his firmness were not so similar. She wasn't a

I woke up suddenly to the feeling that thousands of ants were crawling across my face. It was Choco with his beak, he drilled me gently to see if I would come to my senses at once.“Shock… what happened?As golden and legendary as it was, the chocobo did not speak.All he let out was a grunt of pain that felt like my own.He had been shot and was on the ground trying to get up without success. He was exhausted, his last strength had been invested in saving my skin.Before he suffered any more, I thanked him and made him disappear.He did not feel the rest of the summons; no sign of Kody, Harpy, Fuego, nor of course Rexie.Losing consciousness was reason enough for the summons to dematerialize. I didn't understand Choco, but I had seen before that the golden chocobo seemed not to be subject to conventional rules."Have you come to yourself yet?" said a voice he hadn't expected.I tried to get up, but I only managed to sit down and had to hold on with my hands to keep from tipping over.

We had been fighting for about ten minutes and neither of us could finish the fight. Punches and kicks collided, dispelling waves of ice, fire, air, and electricity emanating from our pathing abilities. No wonder he was the champion of the battle arena, but given more time I would have been able to reach him in the Novingrad Coliseum.He had never fought anyone so evenly before.My ethereal, fire, thunder, or ice abilities were of little or no use against the power of his blows, which were also elemental charge. We both managed to freeze areas of our rival's body, burn others and shake discharges that left us at the mercy of the other; that when we did not use the power of the wind and we crashed against the walls of that viewpoint that began to be a shadow of what it had been."Looks like martial arts won't end this fight," Jackie Leproiner announced, a few bruises and blood on her face. You were in a hurry, right?"I don't think they'd mind waiting a bit," I replied, wiping the bloo

Chocobo Stampede ability increased his physical strength, speed, and power, as well as making him able to go through anything in his path. Needless to say, the barriers were going to be formidable challenges to his skill.We were going to check it out right away."Kuee!" He yelled when he saw me.The golden aura of his armor and plumage blinded me. Choco had also changed; he was slimmer and even more golden, if that was possible. Its feathers had grown much longer, its crest looked modern, and its beak was fearsome.Riding on it I felt capable of anything."Choco, we're surrounded by invisible barriers, see if you can break them," I suggested.Two steps back and the chocobo stampede began. He didn't know how, but Choco detected the barriers and gave them a peck, not too hard but very dry. He went on from here to there, going around and doing the same thing over and over again; we seemed to be in an invisible maze. I was going to ask him what the hell he was doing, but just as I wanted

I woke up in a dark place of no more than three square meters. A conditioned cell, shackles on the hands and feet and unbearable heat.Five days had passed since we arrived at Gardiners Island in virtuality, more than enough time for our bodies to have traveled from the old continent to New York in reality.“Anyone there? I yelled.The voice was lost in the echo of some facilities that seemed enormous."I'm here Vinci!" Greek replied. It seemed to be in the next cell. Where the hell are we?“Dagon! Are you here? “I asked for.There was no answer."Shit, Vinci, we have to get out of here now!" Greek yelled. I have my hands and feet tied, I can't materialize anything.I discovered that virtuality could no longer be accessed, it was as if that part of my brain had been torn out. The automatism that allowed anyone to enter Allsium had been switched off.Virtuality had passed into history and the New World had arrived.But somehow, I felt powerful.I took a deep breath and thought.

Dagon took hours to recover and be able to walk. The fight against Ryan Leproiner had exhausted him and his healing abilities were slow to heal the severity of his injuries. Dark magic was like poison, eating away at everything in its path, especially wounds. Dagon might have lost his virtuality had he not been a holy paladin, as the damage from the dark was still taking its toll on him. Proof of this was that he could barely stand up.Gina's orders were very specific: we were to travel to New York to meet her at Gardiners Island, a private property that, apparently, was virtually Kurayami's base of operations for the American country. It was far from the big city, so it was perfect to wait for the arrival of the New World.We bought three tickets to New York. In a matter of blinks we reached New London, in the state of Connecticut. From there we had to travel by helicopter to Gardiners Island, where they were already waiting for us. I preferred to travel on Harpy's back, and since Da

London from Harpy's back looked dirtier and darker than ever. Its buildings were empty and any glimpse of art, which was not in short supply in the city, lay in ruins. An insult to history that the system could patch up over time if the New World didn't put an end to Allsium sooner. Security had fallen and, although I knew it was virtual, it hurt a lot to see how your hometown ended up demolished because of the same thing that had destroyed it in reality: human greed."There's something going on down there," Greek announced, looking up at Westminster Bridge.I took a look and ordered Harpy to come down. There was Ryan Leproiner, swelled with pride as he spoke to the masses and railed against the Kurayami rebels.However, as the Italian had pointed out, something seemed to be wrong.Dagon's limp body shimmered and broke into a shaft of light that shot up into the sky. The silence that had invaded us was broken by Harpy's high”pitched squawk.Instead of moving away from the bridge, the

"Any specific strategy?" He started asking someone who was next to me."Leave Ryan Leproiner to us," Greek replied. It's the only thing you should know, capito ?“That? He said strangely while looking at us from top to bottom, like most of those who marched next to us. And who are you?"The leader's shields," I answered with a smile on my face.There was a deathly silence, broken only by the screams of the Allsionista, who had about fifty meters to go to meet us."Are you the fucking shields?" But weren't there four? Where the hell is the leader? “were some of the questions that were heard from the different voices that were raised in the crowd, all of them with the same tone of disbelief.There was no time to answer them, but at least they had believed it. I supposed that no one in Kurayami would dare to proclaim themselves the leader's shield, especially in a situation as complicated as that one. It was funny that everyone still thought there were four, especially when that fourth s
