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.
.......

Again sarcasm.
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 ? ".............PLAYER SHOULD NOT WORRY, THIS MISSION WILL TAKE PLACE IN A SEPERATE DIMENSION. YOU WILL FEEL LIKE 36 HOURS HAVE PASSED IN THAT DIMENSION.

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
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
