2024-10-29 19:42:56A new morning show on the station, everything was silent and empty. No life in computers and no chairs offering to sit on. It was pin-drop silent.
Sunlight passed through the open window, inside a room, stretched on the study table where no one sat in front of open books. Juray was laying on the bed, staring at his hand high holding the 2nd edition card of M.Z.
During the weekend, after the battle was over, everyone cheered up A-rai for his performance. Whereas for Juray, he was just an employer, no one asked about him. He just walked and stood beside his boss.
What caught many attentions was the character, who dared to interrupt a battle and save a useless Mage. No one cared about his level fall but, was curious about his scythe. Each player knew the disadvantage of that ruby and now we're wondering how he controlled it this far.
A list of comments was filling up under the video of the battle, on the website of Minus Zero. They asked who was he and why d

"Nobody is ready to accept you today also," said an officer of the NPC "I am really sorry. Come again tomorrow."BANG!!Cecil punched the wall hard in anger and said, "Everyone can take over my bag but, I can't even attend their team just for a single clear up! HUH?! FINE!!. I hope everyone WILL regard me one day for not accompanying me! HUMPH!" cursed the Mage and left slamming the door.The officer sighed and said, while checking the screen of the list, in front of him, "He has full right to get tempered."Stepping out of the building, he jumped over the stairs to the lawn and passed by some players, who were forming a team,"Hey, Cecil!" called a Cursemancer, "Did anyone get you? Who is it? No one...""It's your new friend, hahaha!" all the other members blasted out in laughter, teasing him.Cecil ignored them walking on, repeating the curse that one day they would regard not having him among themselves.Juray sighed, leanin

"WOW! you are pretty lucky, buddy!" exclaimed the mage Cecil, bursting in excitement, "TWO BLUE ROSES!!! NOT ONE BUT TWO!! What a rare scene. Suddenly, he grew confused and said, while thinking "but, if there are two? then is it that one's for me the other for you or both are yours and I have to follow up." "The second one" selected the smiling man in his sentences, while taking off the handkerchief, "Both are mine." "Then, you are wasting your life, crazy fellow" Cecil replied him in a fuss, "how can I help?. There are many but, thousands of extreme fighters all around the town who are far better than me. Why don't you take them?. And besides, if I go with your others might think I am getting arrested or something. They will find a bigger chance to tease me and including they might even TV show it..." What a joke! First, no one was accepted as a team member then suddenly, nowhere a Noble comes out, chasing all the way just to get Cecil on his

When returning back from university, Juray started the station and begin his work. "Hollow there!" he heard and saw the boss coming from outside, weaving. "Are you planning to leave for long?" asked Juray. "Hmmm....yes!" answered the man, "but, I stopped by to do some arrangements in here. Oh! look the night shifter is here too." The man came and greeted the boss. Juray analyzed the arrangements were going to be among them by accounting for the night shifter, so early to arrive. "It's still 2:30," said the boss checking his watch and then reading the huge clock of the station, "Carry out till he arrives." Customers begin to arrive and got seated for their games. Each one wearing headphones and typing on the keyboard. The day went normal with serving the customers. At 4:30 pm, the door opened with a person entering inside. Juray was at the counter busy with typing work when he arrived there and tapped the table. When Juray looked up, he

"Sorry...Oh! sorry" a character ran through crowds pushing himself into them, "out.....of the way...! EH!.....I need to pass...I am late..." he was almost out when a hard body hit him with a bad push, he lost his balance and fall out of the crowd like a rolling ball and lied near the wall, "AH!... Ouch my...my back..." it was painful to get hit by a hard object. Opening his eyes, he met a face looking down at him, "Hi..." greeted Cecil with a beaming smile."Got pushed off..." asked Long shooter, helping him stand up. Cecil dusted away his clothes, saying"No, just got bumped into a rock.So? I hope I am not late.""Sadly, two hours you are" informed him, the man checking his hand clock, "Are you ready?"Standing up straight with a loud, "YES!!" was his reply. The man smiled and commanded him to follow up outside the gate.Standing five yards, exiting the town, the noble decided to discuss the first envelope of the Blue rose mission, sharing it with
MINUS ZERO Long shooter's firing at his first team.
Near every stage, crowds were always gathered to form a party before heading in but, for Mines, the characters had to search near the NPC's office building where crowds were expected more. That zone was ahead sector of reserving quests and missions including requests therefore, many characters will require parties or companies to complete them. So it was grantee they would select this spot or stop by this area.Long shooter with Cecil arrived at the Town's NPC's building and as expected, stunning the mage, there was a huge gathering of people, including selling stalls of citizens. Taking a spot, Long shooter asked Cecil pointing at a far-off bench, to be seated there till he's done."I don't know what you are thinking" begins Cecil talking, "I am sure what you up to?. I am not going to interrupt you or interfere with you. You have your own ways and..... I am leaving.... good day noble, Musketeer and Long shooter." He walked to the seat by taking long steps and sat. Not

"Hey! CECIL!" called out the Musketeer loud, while standing on a hill of green meadows with him others waiting, "Come along my side! Don't go far."Cecil was ten steps far from the group. He hurried his paces, passed the group, and stood near the man. The man nodded and said to carry on.While walking through long grasses, the team behind Cecil's back whispered to each other,"Hey! you heard?. That's the Mage Cecil""Yeah," said another, "The Noble called him by that name.""But, why is he accompanying him?" asked the third one, "maybe something wrong he did or he 's been already arrested and later be sent to prison.""But, a prisoner always has a black belt around their neck, glowing" explained the fourth person about the identity of a character been prisoned, "and he's free. Then maybe there's something else...""QUIET!!" interrupted the fifth one, "look he is glaring at us."With cold eyes, Cecil was looking black at them by his side. They hold their tongues thinking, he heard them
MINUS ZERO Mine Cave Beast.
A rocky cave with stars twinklinginside rocks like burning comets. Thick roofs and drought crack ground, iron hitting stones sounds were echoing all over including throughout the headphones. Juray invested the cave by turning the camera around with the volume dish, saying "Mining works are all so noisy and deadly....."Imps were digging out the glowing stars, talking irritating languages while working. They picked up the results of their digging, placed them in the wagons, and returned back to drilling. The filled wagons were pushed to the inner part of the cave.Since this was Lap-3 in Hard mode, not many were around so, the work was hard and any disturbing would go them crazy. From a dead corner, seven heads sneaked out watching the operation. Nobody paid attention to them. Checking around, they gathered back and the Noble asked,"What idea grows in your heads by looking at them?""It's rocky and tight around" expressed the Healer, himself."We would get dumped by rocks if we jumpe

A level 7 monster was like the end is near for the team members. They knew only a few small hits from the beast would kill them all and be losing their confidence by realizing this."Healer..." called Cecil to him. The Healer, who stood beside him but, wasn't able to keep his eyes off the monster, "you are the only one among us Noobie, who has a chance of surviving as this thing, right?" pointed the Mage at the creature.At first, the character didn't understand what the Mage meant and was about to argue suddenly, hold his tongue, and thought what this Mage said was right. The Healer was 181 level and had 747 HP. He only answered him with a nod. Cecil's choices silences.Tighten the Halt's grip, Blue swordman rushed in front of the beast and attacked with three nonstop strikes. It gave damages of -1, -2, -1. He got shocked out of his skin.
