The beast tamer's glare became deeper as he opened his clenched fists, revealing a set of sharp long claws which looked capable of tearing through metals. I couldn't help but shudder from the thought of being sliced through by those sets of claws. Even if I could heal and also resurrect I wasn't going to allow myself to go through such an experience. It would be really daunting for me."You made a very grave mistake by deciding to kill my pet," he said and I could swear I saw a forked tongue slither within his mouth. It resembled those tongues reptiles possessed.He then controlled a vine to wrap around him gently and lift him into the air as he continued to glare at me, "That pet was the only friend I had and now you've taken it away from me."Amidst bone cracking, I gnashed my teeth and said, "You're such an idiot if you think you can defeat me."This obviously angered the beast tamer as he caused more vines to wrap around every part of my body, squeezing the life out of me. This ma
"Hey!""Wake up right now!""Is he dead?""Stop wishing him death!""Just asking."The voices which I was hearing appeared distant yet they were so close. It seemed my senses had been blurred or I was existing in a hazy world. I didn't know if I was dead or in the data state where I would be respawning after some time but the experience didn't seem good at all."Let's not allow him to die, he helped us a lot!""We would have taken care of ourselves.""Don't be so cold hearted, John. You were running as a coward when he asked us to flee.""Everyone would have done the same."These voices kept on becoming ethereal and I didn't know what was happening. Where was I? Was I dying? I was capable of thinking in my state but I wasn't capable of sensing anything clearly. I could only hear voices but they sounded very distant."I can't die..." I parted my lips to finally say something. It was as if a kind of weight had been placed on my lips to prevent me from saying anything. I was glad that I
I couldn't help but want to shake my head for these four players. This was because they were very much ignorant about player levels. They were definitely thinking I was very powerful and that was because they had only come across level twenty players and a dragon. They didn't know that there were also level fifty players who could crush all of us combined with only their auras. I felt very sad for the team because of this and even wanted to sympathize with them.I had once been in their shoes when I first became a player. Back then I was a level zero player and always thought I was the strongest because I was the only player back then. After becoming a level one player and attempting to break out of the police headquarters, I realized that I was very much wrong. It was there I met Darwin Blade and knew that I was still very weak.No matter how one became powerful at this level, there was someone always more powerful than him. Till he could outgrow everyone and stand at the pinnacle of
The four team members stared at me for some time, making me wonder if there was something behind me. I'd watched so many horror movies so I knew what was talking about. I would have turned to look behind me if not for my cold and crazy personality.I could only open my mouth and ask, "Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something behind me that I cannot sense?""It's not like that," Red Witch said. As usual, she was the one doing the talking. "It's just that we're wondering why you'd offer to help us when we're complete strangers. I don't think you've even met us in reality."You seem familiar to me, I said inwardly. Of course, I didn't dare voice out such a thought. It would make the other part quickly guess my identity. Even though she wasn't able to guess my identity, I would definitely be among her suspects. And that was what I didn't want at all."My mission overlapped with saving you," I said casually. "I didn't mean to save anyone."Red Witch chuckled nervously while
After upgrading my mystical weapon to level twelve I felt so great about it. It was even evident on my face and I was smiling like a greedy kid who just ate to his satisfaction. In reality, my expression was very much normal to what many normal people would have felt at that time. A mystical weapon, no matter how low its level was, could increase the survival of its wielder. It was what several players wanted to get their hands on and they would pay anything to get their hands on one.I watched as the other four players deactivated their player skills but they were still vigilant around me. Their eyes were still weary and observed me from their positions. Even the calm Red Witch was also observing me despite showing me a calm side. I was a level twenty mysterious player who just came out of the blues to kill a level twenty dragon and player. It could raise suspicions around anyone.I decided to ignore their vigilance and turned to look at the dragon's and players' corpses which were y
I decided to remain silent and not say anything. Only by doing this would I be able to learn a lot of things. If I kept talking with my mysterious image everyone would think I actually knew everything when my knowledge was only limited to what happened in the physical world. So keeping quiet and watching was the best option."Huh?" It was Golden Buddha who talked. His helmet was still on and I couldn't even see his face, much less know what expression he had right now. But then from his body movements, I could tell that he was surprised. After having the Joker and Psychopath personalities integrated to become the God of Copycats personality, I'd mastered the ability to read expressions and body movements. So telling what expression the young man had right now was very much easy for me."Team leader, how come I have two points?" he asked as he turned to look at Red Witch. "I'm only a level ten player while you're..."I didn't know why but he decided to stop at that point. Was revealing
I remained silent for another five minutes, watching them grudgingly join my team. Among all of them, only Red Witch joined willingly. After all, she had been the one to suggest this to me. The others were grudgingly joining because they were feeling sad about Red Witch not creating the team herself. I wouldn't blame them. I would feel the same if one day a total stranger more powerful than me just came one day, created a team, and Paulina and Stephen readily agreed to join. It would be very painful and make me have doubts about our relationship."Team leader, he's the one who created the team and added us?" Golden Buddha asked. As usual, he wasn't stingy with his opposition towards me. I would have been very much surprised if he hadn't said anything."Yes, he is," Red Witch replied calmly."So that means we won't be calling you team leader again?" Tainted Angel was the next to ask her question. "I mean, we've been calling you team leader even before we became players."They've been c
Nobody argued even though the other three were not willing to partake in the same mission with me. They had wanted to choose me to be the scapegoat to be killed if I'd not mentioned the rules for them. I had anticipated a betrayal such as this but I didn't know it would come in this form. If I hadn't been smart I would have been threatened by these weaklings.I was still thinking within myself when I received another notification. The others didn't receive the notification because they were all looking at me and didn't seem to be aware of the notification which had been sent to me.[IN ORDER TO GET TO THE LOCATION QUICKLY, YOU NEED A MAP][DO YOU WISH TO PURCHASE A MAP TO MISSISSIPPI?][IT COSTS JUST 1000 COINS]You can as well rob me in day time, I said inwardly as I grudgingly accepted to purchase the map with my last coins. I didn't feel bad because the Enigmatic System was very much generous in the real world. I'd even get millions of coins from daily tasks, missions and quests pe
