Rashard immediately embraced Adam while saying, "Lockwood really dislikes the idea of taking turns on missions. If it weren't for necessity, I doubt he would do it."
The goal of Adam, Rashard, and Trevor was to make Leon take the bait quickly. It was quite simple; they just needed to steer the conversation to the point where Leon would be curious about the cards held by the three of them. It wouldn't be difficult, considering Leon had already allied with Elly from the beginning.However, seeing that Leon seemed a bit closed off due to his traumatic first experience, they had to improvise."Besides, Thys also has a little interesting secret. The Empress card should be held by a woman!" Rashard joked halfheartedly."Shut up. If I could choose, I would also prefer a card that sounds cool like yours, The Devil," Trevor joked. He deliberately used the same phrase as Rashard's response when he and Adam questioned his card.Leon's eyes widened,[Granting special rights to the holder of The Fool card to guess other players' cards][Note: Missing cards cannot be guessed until the next session][Time: 5 Minutes]Similar to the voting system, the guessing system also treats things the same. The system will track brain activity and enable the guesser to make guesses without arousing suspicion.At the moment, Elly was confident in the information brought by Leon after seeing that Adam truly held The Hanged Man card!Therefore, she didn't doubt any other information. "System!" she said inwardly.[System ready]"I will guess the cards of two players."[Give your guesses!]"Rashard James as The Devil and Trevor Thys as The Empress," she murmured confidently and confidently to herself.After five minutes passed, Elly began to think about her next steps to choose another scapegoat. But a few moments later, she suddenly stomped her foot, contrary to what s
Elly realized that what was happening to her right now—becoming impatient—was the effect of guessing wrong. Therefore, there was nothing she could do to stop it."You've shown enough of your foolishness to me, your carelessness to everyone else, it will all lead to one thing: You'll just be the subject of ridicule," Rashard continued.Actually, whether it was William, Andrew, Darrel, Edward, or others, they didn't quite understand why Rashard was cornering Elly slowly instead of accusing her directly. But even after seeing that, no one stopped him."What are you saying!? I'm not guilty!" Elly panicked, turning to Leon and immediately pointing at him, "Ask him! He knows I'm innocent!" She tried to avoid anything that had happened by pointing at Leon.The gaze turned back to Leon. Leon looked confused and didn't say anything. His expression was full of concern and disappointment.Seeing Leon unwilling to vouch for her, Elly slowly began to
Surprised by this, Adam immediately stepped back a few steps, taking his arrows and small backpack with him."Did you get the same notification? This is what I don't like about the system. Hufff," the man sighed before turning back towards the forest. However, before disappearing into the darkness, he said, "You know, being part of the Underworld faction is quite torturous. So far, I only know a few players from the Underworld faction who have survived until the end.""And this is a warning. Be cautious of players affiliated with the Prayers faction. They can be quite challenging for the Underworld faction."His silhouette slowly merged into the darkness and disappeared, leaving a silence that made Adam repeat his words in his head just to remember them.After a while, he immediately asked the system."System!"[System ready]"Who was that?"The answer came unexpectedly. It was a vague sentence as if a sensor ha
"Hey, what are you doing?" Adam stood at the gate, leaning against it. He just wanted to start a conversation with small talk.John glanced at him for a moment before returning to his activity.Feeling annoyed at being ignored, Adam restrained himself and tried to remain calm. Then he asked seriously, "Why are you so suspicious of me?"John looked back at him again, and with a clear sigh showing his effort, he said, "Have you ever killed someone?"Adam furrowed his brow. "Is he still thinking I killed Rachel Gray!?" He muttered to himself.Adam was about to answer when John continued, "I can see it."Adam asked, "See what?""A number," John said.He continued to dig into the dark soil while talking, "I have a Skill that allows me to see whether someone has killed or not. It projects all that into numbers depending on the number of people killed by the person I'm looking at when activating this skill."T
Adam tried to open his palm as a distorted black smoke formed into a ball above it. It looked evil and terrifying, but for Adam, it brought warmth.He quickly swung his hand holding the distorted black ball upward and immediately created a cross-shaped pole where at its highest point there was a rope in the form of a circular knot.The wood was dark brown with some signs of decay visible on it. Additionally, an unpleasant aura emanated from the object, strangely making Adam feel more comfortable with his body and movements felt very smooth.Adam immediately remembered the same scene from his dream. In his dream, Leon also died hanging himself on the same object Adam created now![Creating Gallows]"That's really similar!" He exclaimed in surprise.He didn't expect a dream to display something he hadn't even encountered before. And here he was![Doubling ability effects][Stealth Step doubled][Poison Touch double
At the castle, some players were still going about their activities.Groups began to form, consisting of three to five players. Of course, these groups were merely for chatting.True to his purpose, Adam quickly found his place and started designing his arrows.He didn't consider other alternatives like axes, swords, or spears, given his expertise in precision aiming. It was a skill he couldn't afford to waste!Night fell quickly.Campfires began to flicker in various chatting groups.Adam took his place by the edge, next to the non-functional fountain.Surprisingly, he also had his own group consisting of five people!William Sambus, Trevor Thys, Rashard James, John Gates, and himself gathered around a single campfire.John Gates no longer showed explicit hatred towards him, but there was still an anticipation that seemed to erect a wall between them."So, anyone want to guess the next game?" Rashard, who was always smiling, asked, trying to lighten the mood.Trevor, who was skewerin
Adam absorbed the information while thinking hard. "The usefulness of points isn't explained well... Should I ask the System for clarification?""Besides, to earn points, we have to destroy other players' ships or free pirates' ships... Free pirates..." Adam muttered the phrase.It confirmed that besides the players, there would be other free pirates, "Are those humans other than us?"He then recalled some information from The Hanged Man feature."Order points can be obtained by killing humans, and the amount will depend on whether the human is a cardholder or not." Additionally, he remembered the mysterious man whom he thought was an S-rank Beast before.On the other hand, there were ship crews that would assist the players. Adam reluctantly concluded one thing based on this information, "There are other humans on this island!""Is that what the other players meant by the mysterious man?" Adam thought calmly and with a hint of e
Adam looked at him carefully, assessing the man's condition.Aside from his pirate-like attire, interestingly, the man's physique seemed ordinary. His skin wasn't even particularly bronzed, which made Adam doubt their experience as pirates.Soon, Adam felt his thoughts were too narrow. "Perhaps they're also here not by their own choice?""Judging from their appearance, they seem too ordinary, and although they have a seemingly hostile gaze towards me, they don't intimidate like real pirates."After finishing observing the man, Adam immediately nodded, "Yes. I am The Hanged Man."The man fell silent for a moment before politely inviting Adam to the small boat. "I am Bryan Georgia, I will be your first mate.""Bryan? His name sounds modern. As I suspected, are they also players? But all players have their own cards..." Adam nodded understandingly, still showing calmness to assert his authority.Bryan, who had a soft face b
