"Heard that a lot of human died." Said the lizard man.
"A lot of human. Hahaha. You gotta be kidding, there were no way there were human that were still alive, after all those beastmen had been hunting them all down. Once those human smell by those beast they will be killed. Heh, those being should not have exist here in the Fania, I just don't get why those gods had allowed them to stay in this world." Said the blue orc with a long scar on his face.
"Tsk, why are we still talking about those- tss" The pig-like face man dranked his beer. "By the way, I heard that the dwarven's big metals and weird things in their country were suddenly became scraped." changing the topic.
"I heard that those weird big metals were no longer useful that's why the those in empire from the central was able to attack them."
"Knowing that those magician had been wanting to destroy those dwarven it was no wonder. "
"Tsk. Those heretic. They were just part of same-"
"Hush- we should not talk about that. If those elven fae heard you they might kill you."
"Tsk. Many said that these were due to gods. Hah. What god, it must be due those magis I tell you."
"Magis? There is no way there were such that was still alive."
"Those being who kept saying apocalypse or something. They were just some random crazy geezer who want to gain more power. Well, as long as the Emperor of Central City is alive, there was nothing to worry about."
Reigan had been listening to their conversation at the corner. Wearing a face mask, hiding his upper face, and brown sack like robe.
During these times information is power, and being in this tavern is the best place to get information.
One of the information he received were some random people who suddenly pop out of nowhere with different species.
Knowing what he had experience, he had gist of idea who were those.
"Hey Wei, you had been silent. What are you thinking?" Said man with pointy ears and had a fish scale on his face. This was the man he met on the road 3 days ago after staying at the inn. He said his name was Isei. He had paid him with 10 silver to be his guide.
Reigan chuckled. "Well, I was just wondering what had been happening in the central. I never heard that there were a lot of interesting story to hear." Reigan said grinning.
To be honest it felt a long time since he last been in group of people, though none of them look like one.
He was hoping to see at least a fellow human, but most of the being here was none human.
He had been thinking about this entire situation.
This game and the death consequences.
Before, when he was in the Fairyland he had notice something inside him was changing and because his memories was jagged, the choice was to act the best way to keep himself sane.
Whe his sister killed him, the first death, he had noticed that his heart and mind felt at ease, as if easily accepted that this world and everything were normal, that what happened were supposed to happen. He was uncertain if that thought was correct but was feasable.
It was due to no feeling of fear, well it was also possible that he was just really brave and fearless.
That was until his second death, his feeling of remorse for the dead was gone. It felt as if the living things that dies was the same as the non living things. Like a paper you scribble and throw away after.
Those thought was not normal, and he didn't like that kind of thought process.
Fear was gone, remorse was gone then what's next. He was not sure. Will his emotions be taken away.
Just that thought made him uncomfortable.
"You mean the cities? Tsk. Believe it or not all those cities had been destroyed. To be honest we had no idea which magician created these so called game, but it felt rather amusing seeing those high and mighty leaders acting like a bunch of weak after their home were destroyed. Hehehe. Heard those fairies was being hunted. Ah, I hope I can get one of those fairies. Those things cost a lot."
Reigan thought was cut off and he smile slyly. Those fairies that willing to kill their fellow fairies just to survive, but remembering what Lema said that to join the game they should kill their own kind.
"Which one?" Reigan going along the conversation while sipping his cup. It was just a cup of juice as he believed that beer should only be consumed when you are at the age of 21.
"Wei, hehehe, like I thought we are same kind. There city is a treasure trove. From those treant, fairies and Druids. Hey getting a druids was the same as getting the fairies but druids were hard to find. Tsk."
Well, I had met them all. Though he didn't planned to tell this guy.
Now that he thought about it. Was joining the game same with every species? "I wonder what one should do to join the game?" He asked the other guy.
The man turn silent a bit. "Are you planning to join? Don't tell me you didn't receive a prompt on how to join?" His eye showed hostility.
So does it mean that joining process was different from every species? "What do you think? I heard that every species had different way to join. And such as fairies need to kill their own kind or beastmen killing a number of human to join." He control his heartbeat as he drink.
"Heh, I am quite surprised to see you knew your stuff. But you know-"
Reigan throw a 1 gold coin toward the guy.
"Hehehe."
"Give an information deserve that cost." Reigan grinned.
"Now were talking." He used a power that create a transparent sphere that circling both of them.
Reigan's body tense up. This guy...
"Relax kid. I won't eat you." The guy smirked at him.
"Why does a mage acting as a tour guide?" Wasn't mage supposed to be rich?
"Hahaha. Tour guide ha. What do you think?"
"You also need information... my fellow player." Reigan deduced while acting relaxed, eating the food on the table.
"Hah. Indeed, my eyes were not wrong. You were also player. I presume, you're inhabitant of the fairyland."
Why did this guy thought he was from fairyland? "Was it need to ask when we are both the same player?"
He threw back the gold coin Reigan gave. "Wei, we both knew there were almost 6 hour left before the cleaning start. What do you think was the most important now? It's information. I won't beat around the bush, Why don't you give me the information in your hand?"
Reigan bottoms up his drinks. And smile at the man. "Why do you think I have some kind of information at hand?"
His eyes narrowed his eyes and smirked. "The fact that you came to his town from that forest, showed that you have an information from the forest."
From the forest.
Now that he thought about it. When he first entered the town, some were surprised to see him, that was also the time this guy went near him. Saying he was a tour guide, and acting all friendly.
So this guy went near him due to information from the forest.
"And why do you think I would give you information when I receive nothing in return?"
The guy pupil became slit and then he narrowed his eyes. "Have you joined the group chat?"
"Group chat?"
"So you still had no idea. It's not that I could not help you. That is... if you are already part of the newbies."
Newbies?
Did that mean that there was a system upgrade? Reigan glanced at the guy and whispered in the air. "System -"
