"From what I rembered, the road towards Mainland did not have any snow situation. Only lands filled with grass and mountains….What happened here?" I asked myself, while marching on the slipper surface.
When I read books about the map around Code, those notes told that the kingdom had a forest. This place also had a myriad of hills and other canyons that tourists and players enjoyed visiting.
But behind those magnificent areas had dangers near them. The villagers often told children that bandits and other scary monsters lived in this area. It was the reason the soldiers refused to allow us kids to enter this realm.
However, I rembered players saying sothing about this site. If I recall the words correctly, those adventurers ntioned a levelling camp around this Mainland's threatening side. After killing dozens of monsters, players would level up like crazy, which would give them an advantage in fights.
But as I entered this place, none of that happened.
Thanks to the snow hailing towards this place, no monsters or bandits greeted my sight. Although there were so polar bears and other creatures lingering near my vicinity, those monsters did not attack .
It almost felt like these monsters wanted to run away at any sight they saw. And as soon as they noticed my presence, they would scurry from .
I did not want to fight them, since I needed to learn the terrain. If I learned the areas of this icy place, I would definitely kill one of them.
"Sothing's not right. Why are the monsters here even afraid of ?" I pondered that question, hoping to know the answer.
But as I trundled forward, a pile of corpses greeted my eyes. It was a war of soldiers, adventurers, and NPCs battling for their lives. Those knights belonged to the Mainland, while those players had more unique guns. Those rifles they used must have received so adjustnts and enhancents, considering their standings.
Upon inspecting the players, these people had different uniforms. If I could compare it to the ones I fought before, these carcasses had more armour and improvents to their equipnt. The NPCs that they found also used those guns that these soldiers had.
And their fight did not end well as it took everyone towards the underworld.
This scene would happen more if the death ga would continue. However, I couldn't care less about it. Those guys would die, and I would never bat my eyes.
As long as I could fulfill my revenge against those ga developers, I would live my life to its full potential. My enemies did not matter to , since my goal had been set on stone.
"Why aren't these bodies dissolving like in the ga? Shouldn't they turn into little particles?" I asked myself, while heading onwards.
If soone or sothing died in the ga, they would turn into pixelated fragnts. According to Okami, that matter was the script of this ga. It was the sa thing that created the players, non-player characters, and everything we could imagine.
And if these people hadn't disappeared from this world, it only ant that they had a fresh battle….Or, sothing could have happened from the system, since the death ga occurred.
Those dead bodies continued over for a mile as I trod onwards this snowy terrain. My feet had a difficult ti swatting the icy powders towards the side. But after countless efforts of shoving those white blankets, I finally made it towards the battle's origin.
It was a camp belonging to the players, since I saw one from my previous fights. However, compared to the ones I rembered, this place had more fundings than the scouts. I could only assu that this group of players beca more formidable than the ones who were hunting us down.
Before I could enter the place, I hid my body from the camp. I also used my [shadow walk] spell to secure my hiding spot. If I wanted to discern and breach this place, I needed to be as stealthy as possible.
After ducking my head, I activated my two glowing eyes to hear the conversation from afar. As luck would have it, those two briefed sothing near the gates. It only strengthened my claim that the battle outside their camp happened not too long ago.
Even without warning, my instincts knew that sothing was going on inside that place.
As it turned out, there were still soldiers alive from that battle. And this place still had so active defenses covering the area. Those players did not obviously place those traps set for any intruder entering this place.
If I walked in front without noticing the traps, I would have died before I could even kill one soldier.
"Have you taken all the trash?"
"Sir, yes, sir! All four hundred non-player combatants were wiped out clean from the East!"
"Very well, captain. However, I want you to survey the scene. I don't want to create a fuss when Warner Asimov is underground."
"Sir, yes, sir!"
After the conversation, the soldier called his troops and went to scout the area. The one who commanded the captain returned inside the base.
But before he could enter his building, that bloke glared in my direction. He raised his gun and fired at the hill I used as my cover. The bullet destroyed the lump of snow, but it did not reveal my figure.
"I thought I noticed sothing. This shitty ga isn't worth playing. Why do young people like this ga anyway when it ruins one's senses," the man grumbled, and left the scene.
Fortunately, I laid my body flat on the floor and remained silent for the rest of that scene. I did not move a muscle and waited for the man to leave this place for good. As soon as the general entered his base, I heaved out a sigh and thanked my eyes for spotting the event.
(Author's note: Red knew all of those while leaning her back against the snow. The general noticed Red because he also maxed out his senses, since, well, he's a soldier. He doesn't want anyone hitting him from the back (not in a sexual way))
My system notified about the man's ability, especially when he nearly found out where I hid. And when the screen popped up in front of , it told that he had so skill that helped him. But the na of that skill did not show up in my list. I could only guess the general hid that skill from anyone besides his allies.
That feature was also a skill that anyone could learn, especially for and against an assassin.
"I thought I was dead for a second! Oh my god!" I exclaid, while feeling my heart beat for a thousand pumps a second.
And when my heart finally reverted to its calm state, I finally opened my system and asked it another query.
"Who is Warner Asimov?"
It was the na that these two soldiers ntioned in their conversation. I believed that person was soone important to the players, which made tap my interest.
It took the system a few seconds before giving its reply. And once it revealed the answers, my eyes widened in shock, with my hands clenching for a fist.
"It can't be…..That's the guy who created the ga?"
The system told that Warner Asimov was the creator of Code and the one who managed it. He also had so people to help him with this project, but it was Warner who made it happen. My system also gave so docunts that proved this claim, together with so photographs.
"So that's him…" I repeated, and gritted my teeth. "You're the reason why this shit happened. YOU KILLED CLENTINE AND RUINED MATCH'S AND MY LIFE!"
I wanted to shout those words, but my mouth hindered from doing it. There was a tallic taste lingering inside my lips, paired with so burning sensation around it. But I paid no attention to that, since none of it mattered.
After countless months looking for this bastard, I finally had a lead that I could rely on. It was the happiest thing I ever learned throughout my suffering. And I would transfer that feeling to this madman.
I resud my stealth mode and prepared myself for breaching this base. My skill remained activated, considering that I would finally enter the place. If my system told everything, that Warner Asimov might be the one I was looking for, together with his accomplice.
If I needed so answers, I would have to enter this place and look for a guy nad Asimov. He would be the one I needed to et and kill after all of this. However, if that man escaped from this place, I would still look for the fourth obelisk….The diamond obelisk would be the ticket for to attract his attention.
And if I was lucky, those obelisks could give sothing valuable for my journey.
