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 GOOD
A wounded predator is the most dangerous.
It rose to a great height and then emitted a guttural roar. Then it smashed Lisa with another tentacle on her side, thereby knocking her out cold.
Seeing this George fumed and then roared and began hitting his war hammer with sudden increase in strength. But it was nothing. The tentacle monster wrapped one of his tentacle around George and another around Jessica. Then smashed them to each other, then threw them towards a tree. Anna was shocked. She frozed.
Shit !
It's health bar hadn't even dropped an inch.
Everyone except me and Anna were near to dying.
I had no other choice. I took out my spear from my inventory. And tossed it towards beast's right eye. But that fuc*ing beast, hit the spear with it's tentacle. I drew out my dark swords and jumped into the water . It started attacking me with it's tentacles under water. Thanks to the mobility provided by my armor. I quickly evaded it's attacks.
I HAVE TO END IT. BUT HOW ?
It's movements are too quick for my liking.
I have only one option. Severe it's eyes then it's tentacles. And be quick to do it.
I had to use BLOOD RAGE.
My vision turned red. It was like I was in a fit of rage. My actions were like that of an animal.
SURVIVE BY KILLING. OR GET KILLED.
I ran towards the grave mind. My speed to quick due to BLOOD RAGE. I jumped . I landed on it's head. The timer at the corner of my eyes showed 20 seconds had been wasted.
I pierced it's eyes with my swords. No I cannot cut it's tentacles. Time is less. Only 25 seconds left.
Hive minded. Hive minded. Hive minded.
The Queen.
Yes that's it.
Where is she..
I ran towards other tentacles. Yeah. Got it.
The blue-green tentacle that might be the Queen's.
I chopped of the tentacles and pierced it's brain.
The squid like creatures slowly went back to hibernation.
I guess they can only hibernate without a queen.
Good.
I fell down. I didn't know what happened. It was like I was floating in a void.
After few minutes my vision cleared.
.......
LOSS OF STAMINA DUE TO BLOOD RAGE .
PLAYER GOES IN A TEMPORARY HIBERNATION OF ABOUT 5 MINUTES.
STAMINA RESTORED ALONG WITH HEALTH.
.......
I got up. I was at the bank of the river, along with the others.
"You alright. " I asked to everyone there. I got my answers with their nods.
Anna was still shaken. Jessica was comforting her.
.......

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 ?

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
I heard a mechanical whirring sound. I heard someone having a conversation. I tried hard to open my eyes. I nearly succeeded. But my eyes closed automatically. Like it had a brain of it's own. I was not in the control.Few hours later... [ IN THE REAL WORLD ]I woke up. Groaning.I tried to sit up. When a hand patted on my shoulder. And a woman said, "I don't think you should sit right now. It might be better, if you laid down. "It was not that I wanted to listen to her. And lie down. But the truth was that I couldn't sit up. It felt like my back was broken.I closed my eyes and soon I dozed off.As soon as I woke up. I saw Uncle Rich's face . Frowning.What the hell had happened.He didn't spoke for a long time. It was John who broke the silence. As soon as he entered and saw Uncle Rich staring at me. And me doing the same thing. He said , "Uncle, don't give him a hard time. I don't think he knows why he i
Meanwhile, when the spear pierced Newt’s chest, he closed his eyes. Everyone had wide eyes. They got shocked, because, for the sect members, they considered Newt as a rare genius. Dying in such a way, where he couldn’t even fight back , was enough to break the confidence of the Heavenly Sword Sect. The sect master and the elders of all the sects gathered, along with the two human emperors and a demon emperor, rushed towards Dark Lord. All the girls and Darwin had tears in their eyes. Valerie broke down completely. She stood still and slowly collapsed on the ground. Thankfully, Martha and Crystal Snow supported Valerie from falling.The remaining girls, although they broke down emotionally, but they all had fire in their hearts. All of them wanted to kill the Dark Lord, who killed the person they loved.They attacked the Dark Lord, along with the sect masters and elders. But just with a wave of his hand, he sent all of them
The dark lord was, as the name suggested, a dark entity that lives to rule the entire nine worlds by the darkness. His features weren't clearly visible, but he had a God like built. He had an eerie smile on his face. He looked at me, as he defeated Atlas, the titan of strength. After being defeated, Atlas disappeared. Gritting my teeth, I took a step forward. He threw a punch towards me. Enthusiastically, I threw a punch back. Both of our fists met. A huge shock wave sent those near us away like a rag doll. Because of the force of Dark Lord’s punch, I took two steps back to stabilise myself.After stabilising myself, I rushed towards the dark Lord with the scythe in my hand. He waved his hand, and a huge shield appeared in his hand. As soon as my scythe was about to hit dark Lord, he brought his shield to block my attack. He chuckled in his raspy voice and said, “You are really the son of the celestial, aren’t you? “ My ey
The only thing that made me worry about was the dark Lord. That guy is strong enough to eradicate an entire world. He would be the one I should be careful about. He was also the reason I am making the major killing array. It is to kill dark lord. If we killed him, his army would eventually face defeat. The spirit stones required to make such an array would obviously be more. So I once again went to the treasure pavilion for some more spirit stones. It shocked Sophia when I said I used the spirit stones up. But when I explained that, I used those spirit stones to make an array. It surprised Sophia when she found out that I can make arrays.Because array masters are one of the rarest professions in the cultivation world. After I explained to her, she understood my reasons for getting more spirit stones. As soon as I got the spirit stones, I rushed back to the Sect Master’s palace and started making the killing array. Killing array is the name
Remember the Xarc city, the city in the apocalypse world, the city where I became the palace Lord? Yeah, they are my reinforcements. Although their bodies are weak, but the technology they use is enough to kill many soldiers of the enemies. I started making the array for teleportation, so that my army in Xarc can use their technology to help me in defeating the enemies. After thirty minutes, I successfully made a teleportation array. A void formed when the array activated. The center of the void was blue, while black surrounded the blue. I took a deep breath and stepped into the void. I felt the array was a little unstable. So I instantly took my step back.The instability of an array occurs because of lack of spirit stones. So I connected more spirit stones with the teleportation array. The array became stable because of the spirit stones. After that, I activated the array formation again. The same void formed again. Black clouds surrounding the
The continuous booming sounds of explosion woke everyone in the sect up from their sleep. When I heard these explosions, my face stiffened and a grim look replaced my previous sleepy expression. Sighing, I got out of the bed and wore my cloak directly, taking it from my personal space/knowledge sea. I walked out quickly. Even the sleepy Daniel, who always had a carefree look, now had a stoic expression. He knew very well the seriousness of the situation. This isn’t some time to relax. , he knew this battle would decide the future of the Heavenly Sword Sect, its disciples and the entire cultivation world.The booming sounds didn’t stop. I and Daniel moved together towards the gates of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Because we heard from the disciples who had already gathered that the attacks were taking place at the front of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Every disciple who has gathered here, including the rogue cultivators and the disciples of ot
I sighed in defeat. It was really a dream on my side. Why did I even thought that I could easily start refining the pills? Angela said from beside me, patting my shoulders, “Actually, you are doing quite good for a newbie. “ I looked at her and said with a frown, “Is it considered good that I can burn the ingredients inside the cauldron to ashes?” Angela said in a flat tone, “At least you can control the flames enough that only the ingredients get burnt. If it were others who practice alchemy in your place, they would have been blowing up the cauldron. At least you don’t blow the cauldron, instead, you are just burning the ingredients. “I sighed. At least what she said was true. But still.. I took a deep breath and continued to refine those ingredients into a pill. After fifteen minutes, I saw a green light on the top of the cauldron, which meant that the refining was successful. I became excited and ope
Today was the day the sect master would take me to the higher level of the treasure pavilion. This was something I talked about with Elder Lin Feng. I had informed him I would also need some materials to make those arrays and to perform alchemy. He had agreed that he would make sure the sect master agreed. I knew the sect master would let me enter because he also wanted his sect to remain protected when the fight breaks out. In order to do so, he has to let me do what I want to. I protected the sect, not because I care much about the sect. I respect the sect master and the elders, and also had some friends here, but the most important thing why I even entered the sect was a book related to cultivation , alchemy, and array formations.Since the heavenly sword sect was the top most sect in the entire cultivation continent, its library would also be big enough. I also had the immortal palace that I got from the tomb in the deserted lands between hum
Author’s note: The sect I mentioned at the end was just a mistake. It was actually the court.After getting back to the court, I did the thing I used to do for the past few days. First, I tried alchemy again. This time, I could control the purplish gold flames on both of my flames. I became too excited that I almost lost the control of the flames. After practicing for a few hours, I switched to making arrays. Obviously I practiced making simple illusionary array formation first. Then Angela instructed me to make some medium grade illusionary array formation. Even though I didn’t trust Angela and Elena, both of them have done nothing to make me not trust them. But I would be wary of them.But I have no reason to oppose them just now, because right now I am gaining something. It is better to use this opportunity to practice as much as I can. We cannot know maliciousness of a person beforehand. I continued practicing diligentl
I woke up early the next morning. Feeling full of energy, I changed my clothes and first went to eat breakfast. Because of my dragon physique, I become hungry easily. So I went to cafeteria. The girls weren’t there. So I sat down to eat. After eating, I waited for a few minutes, but the girls didn’t come. I saw Jade in the cafeteria. When I asked her, she replied, “They all are together at the outer court practicing. Maybe they forgot to tell you. They said to me yesterday that they might not come today, even at lunch. They are practicing without wasting their time. “I nodded, and after eating I returned to my dorm. I hadn’t seen Daniel yet.When I reached the dorm, seeing that there was no one, I walked to the garden to practice alchemy and making arrays. Then I started practicing alchemy. I started the same thing I did yesterday. I tried controlling the alchemy flames on one palm first. Seeing that I can control it much easier than yester
