Huh.
A hand rested on my shoulder and a voice spoke, "Yo, what's wrong " The voice was of Jessica's.
"No.. Nothing" I stammered. Man she looked deadly and beautiful like she was the goddess of death.
She announced,"Well we have a mission , guys let's go"
So Jessica, George, Lisa, Anna and I were the only members of the clan, So it was us who would be going on the mission. Anna ordered to Jessica, "ACCEPT THE MISSION" To which Jessica replied, "Yes, boss. "
I got a mission alert.
.......

.......
Onyx blade.. I want it. I have to become MVP then. Alright I can do it right. How hard can a game be.
Jessica accepted the mission.
Suddenly darkness engulfed me. Then suddenly....
I was falling. Literally falling. From the sky. To the ground. I guess it would be more than 2000 meters. I panicked. When I was young. I had an accident. Since then I had been scared of heights.
I panicked. I shrieked like a little girl. (FYI I'm not a sexist)
I closed my eyes from the fear.
I heard laughing. I slowly opened my eyes and saw that the laughter was of my party.
Jessica chuckled and said, "Well, It was fun. Who knew a guy can be this cute. "
Even Anna who was stoic till now cracked a smile. Or I thought. I don't know. I saw her smile. I guess. If she had smiled, she quickly composed herself.
"Let's go" Anna ordered.
Now I started noticing my surroundings.
Have you ever seen an evergreen forest. It was a copy paste of evergreen forest but the thing was that there was a desert in the middle of the forest. And in the desert was The Onyx River.
Cool.
Even there were cries of birds. Man the level of relalism was too good. I guess technology advanced greatly.
We walked. And we reached the desert .
"Be careful. The mission looks to easy for my liking. There might be some hidden dangers. " Anna said cautiously. Everyone agreed. Even rewards were too food because at the start of the game a blade as MVP reward. Yeah. Something is fishy.
Suddenly a roar came. It looked like it was coming from all directions at once. How's that possible.
Single roar but from all directions. Unless...
" Careful.It is a hive minded .... "
I was ripped away from the ground. I felt a stabbing pain on my legs.
A tentacle was wrapped around my leg. But the pain was because of the thorn like structures on the tentacle. I looked at the main source of tentacle. No how it is possible.
It was a Grave mind.
The developers had announced about introducing it in the game. But it was too early for introducing a boss level beast. It would be death of the party members. It is intelligent due to the hive mind and also has great strength. It could easily be compared with 200 elephant's strength. One blow would be enough to kill a person.
Shit.
It looked like a group of squids probably tens of hundreds of them combined. But the outline of each squids clearly visible."Cover me ,damn it" Anna yelled and nocked an arrow. "Copy cap. " replied George. He lifted his war hammer and ran towards the beast and at the last moment shifted to his right to avoid the tentacle that was coming towards him with a swoosh of air. He jumped on the back of the beast and was trying his best to beat it to death but could not , so Jessica moved with a quick speed and somehow got on the back of the beast. She tried to pierce it's skin, and then yelled, "It's skin is hard to pierce through. "Anna who had nocked the arrow, said, " No clear shot. Shit ! "I saw the reason. That damn beast, sure was smart. It tried to fall of on it's back to smash Jessica and George with it's size. And would have succeeded if not for Lisa. She pierced one of it's tentacle with her katars.SHIT! NOT GOODA wounded predator is the
Everyone drank a healing potion. Actually this game is good. The wounds are close to being as like the real ones. And healing potions. They help in instant recovering of wounds. But if body parts are torn apart, you'll have to go to a doctor. They are usually NPCs, but sometimes some players can also become a doctor. There are many professions in this virtual world. But those professions are given to you by the SYSTEM. It is the AI of this game. Or the God for the NPCs.It tests your capabilities and gives you the profession. It is usually given after second missions.After completing the mission, we were transported back to our base. It was not some fancy base. You know. A base in those zombie movies. A town hall like building in the center, many houses around which is completely surrounded by those huge ass walls. Patrols by NPCs. You have to pay them Rcoins. Which is usually paid by the leader.Well anyways, When we reached the town hall, I
The golden rays of the sun pierced through my window and fell on my eyes, causing me to wake up from the slumber. But that was not the only reason that woke me up today. The another one was Reborn Online. Oh and also spending time with Valerie.She had promised me, she would play Reborn online as soon as she returned back to her dormitory. She is supposed to go back 2 days later. So I thought about logging in Reborn online and tell the party that I won't be playing for 2 days.I logged in. And I woke up in the body of Enzo.I went to the town hall knowing that the members would be there. I found Anna.I greeted, "Hey, Morning. "She replied with humph. Well she is still angry, I guess."I won't be online for 2 days . I have to do some personal things"I told her." What, have a girl friend to take care of. "She asked sliding her index finger over her throat like slicing it.I chuckled an
It means If I exchange Rcoins, I will be rich soon. I can exchange it in game directly to my bank account. Just have to complete missions. But as the mission progresses, I need to buy equipments. I have to get money. How ?My money (parent's money) is used by aunt. I cannot use it till I'm 21.Uhhh...I should probably talk to Uncle Richard.Uncle Richard was my father's best friend and my mom's brother. He was also dad's business partner. I don't know much about my parents. I just know that they were involved in gaming industry.This was told by Val. She told me that her mother told her this a long time ago.Uncle Richard is a good guy. His wife died a long time ago. Uncle has a daughter. Queena. She is probably 19 too. Yeah, But she has quite the attitude. I haven't met her for a long time. I was visited by them when I was in hospital. I had an accident when I was ten. That time uncle came to visit me.They are

"System how many party members can I take in this mission ? ".............PLAYER, YOU ARE MISTAKEN. THIS MISSION IS AN EXCLUSIVE SOLO MISSION. ONLY PROVIDED TO YOU.AND HOW CAN YOU RISK OTHERS LIFE FOR YOUR MISSION..............I yelled looking at the sky, "It's not like I was the one to select this mission."I brought my HUD and saw the time, it's 4 pm right now in the outside world."System, how many hours will be passed to complete the mission ?

Then I was torn into shreds. Yeah literally. It didn't feel much pain.S
The first wave of zombies.The first among the zombies pounced on me, I was lucky, I twisted awkwardly to avoid it. And it's skull was pierced with an iron rod of a broken building.As soon as I twisted, another one git got a jump on me. I sliced it's head with my sword. I have to face them head on. I sliced left and right.Soon the first wave was cleared. My HP had dropped to 170 due to minor injuries during the fight.Shit it was hard enough clearing first wave, how many more will come. Soon I cleared 8 more.The tenth wave of zombiesJust a few minutes had passed, second wave soon came. Damn it.These ones are different.*It is a human but looked like a sloth. I don't know what I am blabbering. It moves like a sloth. It's brain was not covered with a skull. It was out in the open. It's finger nails not like that of a human instead was like that of ghosts. You know those wicked looking o
Shit.I started running opposite to that ugly sloth.No not good. It was still following me. If I continued my stamina will decrease and sooner or later I'll fail this mission. And I don't want to test the system for its credibility. If I failed, my body would decay . And still 3 hours 32 minutes are left.Believe it or not , I survived for more than 30 hours. I'll have to endure it for just 3 and half hours.I saw a truck while running away from slothy. I slid under it. And then waited with swords ready in my hand. Still 3 hours. I was panting hard because of running for 30 minutes straight. Slothy came.He too slid under the truck. I forced my hands to pierce his head by my swords. Blood gushed out.For safety , I took out my staff and started hitting his head like crazy. And finally his brain was smashed into a pulp.I was already tired. And my HP has dropped to 100.Shit.Now more boss l
