"My in game name is Ice. "
'Ice? That's some cold name. '
And then there was again a silence between us.
But she was the yapper type, of course she killed the silence again.
"You didn't like my name? "
I replied, "I didn't say anything like that. "
"Oh, so you liked it? "
"I also didn't say anything like that. "
"Uhh, you are so rude. Don't you know how to talk to a girl? "
'Oh god, don't she remain silent? '
She was a headache to me at the beginning. It was just too much of a hassle to answer to any of her question as they would just get more and more personal.
I was just wishing for our destination to arrive quickly.
***
Just like that, around half an hour passed and I suddenly started hearing voices from up ahead. Those voices were more like screams—screams of other players.
I looked at my compass needle and it was totally blood red—only a small edge was left to be colored blood red.
I whispered to my Dila, "Hey, buddy, slow down a little. "
She leaned on my right shoulder again, her chest pressing against my back again and she questioned, "Did you say something? And what are these screams? "
I sighed and replied, "Beginner players like us are probably here to complete the first quest, just like us. "
"But doesn't that mean they would kill the boss before us if we got late? "
"Of course they would. "
"THEN HURRY! "
She screamed in my right ear. It was enough to make my ear burst in cry. That hurted a lot.
I replied in a bit rude way, "Can't you remain a bit silent!? "
She didn't reply, her expressions were like she was going to cry. Without saying a thing, she bowed her head down and remain silent.
'Now don't tell me she's gonna cry. '
Not paying any more attention to her, I focus up ahead. Infront of me were some crimson bushes and 3 tall trees behind those bushes. And behind those trees were the players fighting those plants and probably there boss too.
"Hey, buddy, you can stop here. "
I said to Dila and Dila stopped at it's place. I just didn't want to put Dila in any danger.
I looked behind towards Ice and said to her, "Get off the Dila as I have decided not to put it to any danger. We are gonna walk from here. "
Without saying any word, her head still bowed down she got off the Dila.
'Is she depressed now? '
I mean, it wasn't my mistake. It was her who annoyed me to that extent that left me with no choice but to shout at her.
I just decided not to pay much attention to that matter and walked up ahead. I could hear the crunching sounds of the leaves beneath our feet. With every step, the crunching sound would come—sometime loud, sometime not much loud. That depended on the amount of leaves beneath our feet.
I was the first one to pass through those bushes and look ahead the trees—it was a total battleground. Corpses of plants and few players were laying on the ground.
If a player dies in the game then what happens?
There are two conclusions to that—If a player dies by the hand of a NPC, then they won't be able to log into the game for 2 hours and would loss half of their loot but no summon.
But if they dies by the hand of a player, then there whole progress will be deleted by the game. They would be able to log into that account, but they will have to start the game from the beginning.
And that's what happened to those two players I killed in the beginning.
But there's one more plot in that. If a player kills another player, then they would recieve their loot including a random summon of them but for that, that player must be above level 15.
I was level 1 at that time and so I didn't recieve anything and their loot and summons just disappeared in the abyss of the lost souls.
After 4 seconds, that girl—Ice, she also passed through the bushes and saw the same view as me.
The ground was a total wreck with blood laying every where.
Few players were engaged in their own battle with the Forest Elf Flowers.
While a whole group of a player was fighting their boss.
Now it was on us to choose the side.
For me, it was simple. I would just use Passive Increasement and kill 9 of the Forest Elf Flowers and then I will attack on the boss along with other players—doing my best to deliver the final below.
The random dropped reward by the boss will be recieved by only that player who would deal the final below. But those who contributed in the battle against the boss, their quest along with the player who dealt the final below would be completed.
Then I looked at Ice. She was silent, beautiful, her hairs were flowing from the wind.
She then looked at me, a hair bang was falling on her left eye and so she used her left hand to place it behind her left ear and asked me, "What are you looking at again? Pervert. "
But this time, her voice was low, she was mad at me for talking to her in rude way.
My face was again left flustered.
I covered my face, looked ahead and replied, "I was just wondering what you are going to do now. "
For some reason, she bit her lower lip and replied to me while looking ahead, "Of course I am going to complete my quest, you dumbass pervert. "
I scratched my head and replied, "Yeah, sure. "
And then, I leaned forward a bit and used my skill.
"Activate Passive Increasement. '
[Passive Increasement has been activated for 2 minutes and 10 seconds]
I got extended time this time because my Rodrigo's Wrath leveled up to level 2. And so there was an extend of 10 second in the time.
And with that, I dashed forward with great speed and did my work.
