Life In Another World

Chapter Four

The World

[ MAGIC RING AVAILABLE 150 ] 

Things weren't looking good, players in the scenario became more anxious there were more battles. We were still inside the dragon cave. I said,  " are you guys seeing this, the total ring was 300 but now 150." 

"I am too exhausted to use my future sight, someone must have hacked into the system," said Rem.

"I thought they changed the rules of the game," I said. 

"What Rem said was right, someone hacked into the game, you can't just change the rule when an event is ongoing," said Sussy.

"Then we can't just sit here, we need to start going," 

"Where?" Asked Sussy, "the only way out is covered with rocks." 

"That's not the only way out, the real treasure is right behind those walls, there's also a passage that will take us outside," I said. 

I did explore this cave when playing the game, Sussy and Rem followed me and we walked down to a dead end. 

"This is the end of the road," said Sussy. "Sussy punched through those walls," I said to Sussy pointing at the supposed dead end. 

When she hit it the war cracked, fell down and created a path. We could see beautiful light coming from the other side as soon as we stepped in. There were gold and treasure chests all over the place. 

We started looting, we took gold and the items in the treasure chest. 

"Trade your gold for coins, use some of it to upgrade yourself, make sure you have nothing less than ten thousand coins in your wallet we will need it," I explained.

I spent more coins on XP (experience point) . I increased the XP because it will allow my ability to mimic some useful magic. Sussy also upgraded on her power level from 18 to 30, she unlocked an ability called Shahma, whereas Rem upgraded her future sight and MP. We use some coins to increase our health and Mana 

We all kept ten thousand coins, after looting we continued on a long walk to come out from the cave. 

"I am tired," said Rem. She sat down, and we decided to rest. "I keep thinking about what Suho said."

 "Why? Magic has been around even before we were born, how is he going to erase it," said Sussy. " I would love to see that world without magic, what will it look like," said Sussy. 

"What you said about fighting alongside me, helping me out, do you really mean it?" Asked Sussy, she rolled eyeballs away playing with her hair. "Yes," I replied. "But, you should have your own goals. There is a reason you entered this game, don't tell me you joined because of me," said Sussy. 

I looked down and tried to remember but everything was blank, the only thing I recall was playing video games. 

"The truth is that I can't remember why I am here," I said. Sussy turned to Rem, she asked, "Rem, why did you entered the game?" "Because I want money," Rem replied. 

We were shocked by her answer. "Money?" I asked. "Yes, who doesn't want money, I have a big dream," said Rem. "I was born into slavery doing all kinds of work since I was little but I always like flashy things, if I can clear this game they will grant all my wishes," explained Rem. 

"Everyone who signed up for this game has his or her reasons, I am sure you do too, you just have to try and remember," said Sussy. 

She is right, I have to do something about my memory. Everytime I think back I get nothing. I was dragged into this world, this is a different world far from where I belong. This game comes up once in every year. People from different places come together to play just to get money, power.  I thought every player or everyone came the same way I did but it was life in another world. Maybe that's why I lost some memories, but I will continue helping them until I regain mine. 

Back in the forest, there was intense battle, the magic ring had been reduced, the sound of lightning, fire, swords were flying here and there, 450 players who entered this event are now 265 players. Suho has been busy fighting alone; he moves at lightning speed, a true samurai. 

Suho's parents died partaking in this game. He has lost a lot through this game. That's why he plans to end everything. Suho Was heading, running to the other side of the forest to end his mission he had one ring on his way he saw both the magic caster and shinobi type the same people who reduced the magic ring. he quickly hid and reduce his presence the moment he saw them he knew they were not among the players who started this game. 

Suho tried to view their profile but he got an error. "What are they up to," said Suho. He followed them. On their way, the magic caster and shinobi type met some guild members, four boys and two girls among them was Maki, a berserker type.

"Cracker, look at the rare item we just found," said the magic caster. They stop them from moving by looking at Maki the magic caster identifies him as a berserker he called the berserker a rare item. 

The magic caster then cast a spell he went into the berserker head causing him to rage out, Maki lost control of himself, he grew larger, his veins grew bigger "Ahhhhhhh" he scream. 

Maki went wild and started slaughtering, his first victim was his own guild members, after slaughtering them he went deep into the forest killing anyone he came across. 

Back in the cave after taking some long rest I was curious about what was happening outside. "Rem, can you see what's happening outside?" I asked. "Yes," said Rem. 

Rem use her future sight to see more, because she spent coins to upgrade her power she unlocked new ability this time she was able to see things as if she was presence 

She was silent, her face was fearful, she couldn't believe what she's seeing, the entire forest was covered with blood, still in her ability she came across the magic caster, the magic caster saw Rem sight and used a powerful spell to lock her.

"Cracker, we have found who we have been looking for," said the magic caster. 

 I and Sussy called her, tried bringing her back but she wasn't responding, "someone cast a spell on her," said Sussy. "Is that possible, there is no one around," I replied. 

"I think she came in contact with someone extremely powerful," explained Sussy. 

"What are we going to do?" I asked. "Our only option is to kill the one who cast the spell," Sussy replied. 

I carried Rem. We were running out of the cave. We have no idea who cast the spell but we have to find a way to set her free. I thought about the game. If I have ever come across such a spell, I have no idea, no idea to set her free.

Finally, light up ahead, we got off the dark cave not too long, we saw dead bodies. It was awful " only a monster can do it," I said. Maki the berserker type was still going rampaging. 

Suho chases after Maki, coming from behind Maki he tries to slice off his head, Maki has a good reflexes he easily dodges suho's attack. Maki roars, he is no longer himself, all he thinks about his death can't control himself. 

He attacked Suho jumping towards him, Suho was calm and he activated his lightning magic Suho attacked him using his sword, Maki blocked it with his bare hands. 

It was an interesting battle, it was very intense. A hit from Maki could pulverise someone but he finds it difficult to hit Suho. 

The fight was evenly matched and the wind became heavier, it wasn't too long Suho decided to use more abilities he unlocked 

[ VECTOR ]. 

Vector is an ability Suho unlocked when he upgraded his sword, the attack enables him to cut through space, without moving [ ACTIVATED VECTOR ] he cut off Maki left hand. 

Running, we kept on running. I and Sussy I was holding Rem "Stop right there." We heard a voice, we stopped when they showed themselves. I was overwhelmed by there energy coming out from them.

We were not in the same class, I was trembling from the spot where I stood, I couldn't talk or move.

"It's them," said Sussy. "I can sense his energy on Rem, they are responsible for Rem's situation," said Sussy.
