Chapter 144: Chapter 144
"I intend to challenge the one who created this world soon. The game lord." Jace replied, his tone hushed.
"Huh?!" The table exploded in confusion.
"Why would you want to even do that? That is if the game lord really exists." Erin questioned in confusion.
"He does exist." Zen countered as he shot the ice queen a glare.
"Guys! I didn’t call us here to argue or banter, I needed to tell you all my plans." Jace chimed in before a full heated clash would ensue.
"But why the sudden rush though?" Aria asked again, an uneasy feeling rising in her chest.
"Like I don’t understand Jace. Yes, our life in this game isn’t peaceful, we go into dungeons without knowing whether we would live or not but it’s still fun. We got power here, unlike reality, I’m just a high school kid. Nothing else." Vynn chimed in as he looked confused and slightly annoyed.
"I understand your plight here Vynn. To be honest, life here is the opposite of my life back in reality. I have power, reputation and and a handsome face compared to reality. But it’s urgent we leave before things become a real nightmare." Jace urged, his tone getting serious by the second.
"And we ask again, why?" Zen questioned with a raised brow.
’Though I also want to leave, because I know that the game lord wants me totally dead for one reason or the other and he won’t stop sending dangers my way till I’m gone, but I need to know why Jace is suddenly in a rush, what did he discover?’ Orıginal content can be found at n0velfire.net
Jace just took in a deep breath as he rubbed his temples.
"That brings us to the second reason of this meeting." He mumbled then rummaged through his pocket and pulled out a piece of paper which he tossed across the table.
Everybody leaned in and they could see that it was a sketch. A sketch of a familiar being that caused Zen’s eyes to widen.
"Huh? Xar?!" Aria muttered in shock as she turned to stare at Jace who shook his head.
"Not Xar, that’s another one." He said.
"Wait, there are more than one?" Zen asked in horror as he remembered how terrifying Xar was. The ability to control an A ranked beast and his own personal ability to morph his hands into whatever weapon he wanted.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Tom and Lyra were there along with Blake, they would have died in the blink of an eye.
"I don’t understand, what am I looking at? What got you all so shook up?" Vynn asked as he stared at the sketch in confusion.
"You don’t know this because you were unconscious during the battle. This was a creature we faced— all of us. It was insanely powerful along with its beast body. We hard a tough time and was on the verge of losing if it wasn’t for Zen’s coordination, deduction and assesment. We would have all been toast." Jace replied and Vynn nodded along.
"So you are saying that another one is here?" Zen asked again with his brows knitted in confusion.
"I have a theory." Jace said as he took back the sketch and neatly folded it in his pockets. "Just like how the game lord randomly pulls people from reality into the game, what if these creatures are also its doing? What if he pulled these creatures in to spice the game up?"
"Then I guess it’s safe to say that we are doomed." Zen mumbled as the realisation of their situation hit him hard.
"What’s the hype for? How strong is this creature really?" Erin asked with a raised brow.
"Strong enough to give sir Tom and Lyra tough time. Hope that answers your question." Aria replied.
"Now you see why I say we need to leave as soon as possible? Things would soon get bad in this game and we might just get caught in between." Jace added.
"And what’s the third reason you called us here for?" Vynn asked.
"I have figured out some more people in this our clan who are real and who are NPC’s." Jace replied in a whisper as he began looking around cautiously.
"Huh? Who are those?" Zen asked as he began cautiously glancing around.
"Rina, Ryker and Kael. I don’t know about others, but those are those I’m a hundred percent sure that they are humans from the real world and aren’t NPC’s." Jace revealed causing everybody to stare at the mentioned names in the hall.
Rina still looked out of it after all she had just lost the love of her life a few weeks ago. Though she looked slightly better, she was seated all alone in deep thought.
Kael on the other hand, was surrounded by girls and he had no clothes on except his underwear but even with that, he looked a little bit lost.
It’s understandable especially with the fact that Renzo had died saving him.
While Ryker, well the C ranked Reaver was on a couch, newspaper over his face and no doubt trying to catch some sleep.
’If what he says is true, I wonder how he knows what he knows. How did he find out that they are not NPC? Something is wrong. Does he have a system too or what is this about?’ Zen thought as he stared at the water Reaver cautiously.
"Anyway, that brings our meeting to an end. I plan to head to the upper floors and get us a quest. Maybe an A ranked or an AA rank, we need to level up as soon as possible." Jace said as he stood up from his seat and with that, he left and so did the others.
’Level up as soon as possible huh?’ Zen thought as he stared at his stats screen floating in front of his face. ’I guess I need to fully use this system to the max and begin going on more quests and raid.
Since there’s no evident cap or restriction on me, let’s make use of it to the fullest. Let’s solo level up then!’ he thought as he stood up and then exited the table.
