Brian sat beside the dead wolf’s body and looked at his status. From his current state, if he wants to improve, he would require to hunt a lot of monsters.
Because the demand for the EXP keeps increasing every single time. This was necessary because if people start leveling up too fast, their real bodies won’t be able to handle the progress.
“Mr. Brian, c-can I ask you something?” Tempest who had been healed completely walked near him and spoke. He was a little scared.
Brian nodded his head.
“Previously, you said we can’t afford to let anyone die here. What does this mean? Although we lose ten levels after each death, if we can get enough reward, we can level up easily, can’t we?” Tempest asked.
Brian didn’t answer instantly but rather stared at Tempest. His stare was quite deadly that even Tempest took a step back in fear. But, Brian didn’t do anything rather he laughed.
Tempest’s question attracted everyone else to him as well. Brian looked at Tempest and asked, “How much do you guys play together?”
Tempest who was too scared to answer turned at George.
“We play together almost all the time. Though someone, only Sherly and I play together since Dave gets busy with his family and Tempest can’t make it as well.” George replied after smiling at Tempest.
Brian didn’t respond. Rather, he stared at George for a long time and asked “You are improving at incredible speed. If nothing goes wrong, you might become the ninth rank or even higher rank superhero. After that, you would become one of the main protectors of the earth.”
“But, you also have a mother and a sister. I want to ask you something. If someday you have to sacrifice yourself for the earth, would you do it?”
Hearing his question, George narrowed his eyes. He couldn’t answer this so easily. After all, there are things that he could sacrifice for the earth but not his own life.-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.
He didn’t say yes but he didn’t say no either. He just remained there silently.
“Well, your silence was answer enough for me to tell you this secret.” Brian smirked. If George had said no or yes, then he wouldn’t reveal anything to George.
But, George had that extreme willpower. When he truly reaches the top, he will eventually understand that for the greater good of the world, sacrificing yourself won’t matter at all. That’s what being a superhero means.
George looked at Brian with confusion to which Brian replied.
“If you had said yes or no, your mind could change easily especially if you say yes now, your mind could change to no, and even if you say no, your mind could remain no. In most circumstances that we have found, only those who do not have a definite answer finally chose to sacrifice themselves.”
“Actually, you won’t understand this now. But, when you reach the level of Gabriel or Liam, you would understand that your life means nothing if it is for protecting your lover, your family, and your world.”
“Mr. Brian, who are you?” George gave him a serious stare and asked. He was really curious about Brian’s identity.
Brian smiled and said, “I’m one of the core members who created this New Gods.”
“Impossible!” Dave instantly disagreed.
“Why do you think it is impossible?” Brian asked.
Dave stared at him and said “The five directors of UMA made the statement where they said that the people who created New Gods aren’t allowed to leave UMA. If you are right, doesn’t this mean they lied to us?” ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ Brian smiled and nodded his head “What they said is true. One of my closest friends was also there with me but he couldn’t leave UMA. But, I did leave.”
“Mr. Brian, why did they let you leave?” Sherly asked.
“Just call me ‘Brian’. Inside the game, I am just a normal player like you. And, don’t worry, even though I am the one who created this game, I can’t cheat here.”
Brian looked at her face and said “As for your question. If you point 100 nukes at the face of Five Directors, do you they have the guts to say no?”
George and others looked at him with confusion and disbelief. Because what he said felt like a lie but he didn’t seem like lying.
Pointing a hundred nukes at the face of Five Directors?
Who could ever do that?
Brian shook his head and said “I am not here to reveal my background. There are lots of things that you don’t need to know. But, the question that Tempest asked me. It is something that you must know especially you, George if you want to surpass the ninth rank.”
George instantly erased his disbelief and confused expression and listened attentively. Not just him, everyone else did the same.
“Some of this might fly out of your head but just remember a few things and that will be enough. Even though you can get resurrected infinitely, you mustn’t die even once.”
“Actually, most people think that our bodies inside New Gods are made out of programming codes. But, in truth, only thirty percent is made out of programming codes.”
“Our bodies are genetically made by the people of UMA or rather I should say. They created the main processor which creates these bodies. And, these bodies can only live inside the virtual world because thirty percent of the body is still a bunch of codes. And, thirty percent is a lot.”
“You might ask. Why go to such length if we can create something to absorb the Zero-Point Energy. In fact, when this game was announced, that question was trending a lot.”
“Because most people thought that if we can create something that absorbs and store Zero-Point Energy, we can also make ourselves possible enough to absorb the Zero-Point Energy.”
“But, the truth is that it’s not possible at least not with our current technology. The genetics of the human body and every other race in this world are different. This difference makes us unable to absorb Zero-Point Energy.”
“That’s why we made these bodies inside the virtual world. In this world, you can level up, you can learn new things but all of those are products of Magic and Technology.”
“Well, if you have a smarter mind, then you can simply become top of both worlds. Anyway, since this is also a kind of living body, if it does, it loses something and that something is potential.”
“You see when we created this game two years ago, our bodies were almost eighty percent codes. And, in that situation, if you had died even once, then you could never reach over level twenty.”
“This is the reason why I entered the game so late. Now, if I die under lvl. 50, then I can never level up above lvl.100. And, if you die under lvl.100, you can never reach above lvl. 200.”
“This is why I said don’t die or become a sacrifice even once. This body is like a clone. If it dies, then you can create another clone but that another clone would have less potential than this one.”
“And, once the clone returns back to the body, it gives all of its experience and power to the main body. In this case, it gives one-tenth of the power you have earned with the help of this clone.”
“That’s all I can say right now. Don’t die and don’t take this game lightly. It can change your life for better or for the worse.”
After a long speech, Brian finally turned silent. He could see shock and disbelief in their faces but he didn’t care. He just wanted to warn them about the consequences of the death.
Although they can be resurrected, the consequences are still severe.
“Don’t think too much! Let’s try to find and kill more monsters before heading to the sixth floor.”
…..
Somewhere on the celestial plane,
[Congratulation on completing the quest]
[You have one wish to make.]
[Please make your wish]
It was a dark hall. Inside that hall, there was a girl standing. She had a powerful blade in her hand and her determination was unwavering. She stared at a beautiful goddess who she met on her first day.
Six Months! It has been six months since she has been continuously playing. she didn’t die even once and now she was level 100. She came across a quest where she must slay a Giant Dragon.
She did slay the giant dragon and finally, she got the reward of the quest.
One Wish!
Though there are many restrictions in fact she can only ask for Legendary Rank Item from the game.
She took a deep breath and said.
“I wish for Celestial Killing Bomb”
……
At this moment, dozens of notifications throughout the New Gods emerged.
[Player ****** has obtained Celestial Killing Bomb]
[Player ****** has obtained Celestial Killing Bomb]
[Player ****** has obtained Celestial Killing Bomb]
On the fifth floor, Brian also saw this panel. His eyes shrunk immediately.
“Damn it!”
