The Player's System

Lowest Profession

"How can you be sure?" Junan asked not believing. He could not feel the poison in the air. Looking at the others he confirmed because none of them felt the poison. "If you do not have faith in my words then look at your feet." Jake pointed. He was told by the system how much amount he should consume for securing his life even if he follow the team and spend some time in the Dead Breath Area. Junan and others hastily looked at their feet as if the poison was crawling on them. It was scaring thou.

Their feet were tainted and wet. The skin tone was turning bluish which was clear indication that their feet were also facing poison threat. "I noticed it earlier and fortunately know about the poison in the air." Jake blinked his eyes making them believe that he was genuine in his accidental findings. "Should we also eat the roots?" Albert cleared his dried throat and asked team head Junan. 

Junan gulped the dry breath and nodded. If the poison was dangerous and silent killer then there was no way that they could precede further. The threat was on their heads. If they got poisoned then they should forget to clear a single part of the district much less clearing the whole district and succeeding the level one. "We cannot take risk; if the boy had felt the poison being chemist then we can trust his words." Junan stepped forward. They followed and reached the boy. 

"Don't you think you should also give these roots to us?" Albert winked at the boy. "Indeed I wish we all remain safe and pass level one." Jake fetched few of the roots and extended his hand toward team head. He coughed and took them. After the kid pointed he was critically observing his own condition. Junan could feel that he was declining and as soon as he chewed on the roots; he faced the difference. Also the visible signs died down. This kid saved his in-game life and he openly admitted. "You are smart kid; I hope we can become a perfect team." Junan patted his shoulder. Jake blessed the system for several times in his head. Because of the system he was able to know that there was poison in the air. The system distributed the Exp for the second level. Jake only started with the second level and knew that five hundred Exp would take some time for accumulating. 

All of them chewed the grass roots and kept some of it in case they need it. They resumed their path. At least this time they were not ignorant and could feel the ground and the surrounding strange. They covered their faces as precaution. The crawling snakes again halted their movements knowing that the players were coming to them. "There is a door on the right passage; may be for entering in the colony." Albert pointed from afar. 

"We are not sure about the possible dangers so half of the team members will guard outside." Junan ordered. After the kid pointed; everything seemed hiding something and trying to slowly kill them. In his eyes if half of them got killed; at least remaining members could continue their struggle for the level one. A sudden death of all team members would not look agreeable for their self-respect. 

They understood and reached near the colony. Orin the 'MED' of the team was looking at the algae when they were walking near the colony. "Since when did we see the algae crawl?" because of his constant lookout he was able to see few parts where the supposed algae were moving. "What crawling? We never heard much less to see." Albert shook his shoulders and worriedly looked at the surrounding. 

"At the right side of the colony gate; I spotted algae crawling but it is no more moving. I am sure that it was not mere eye-deception." Orin stuttered to see all of them looking at him. Jake heard this and voiced his system. There was single word on the visual screen 'snakes' "I wish you are not on drugs." Junan chuckled. He picked his sword and stepped ahead. The tip of his sword touched some of the algae and it fell on the ground. "You see it is." Junan took few more steps and kicked the old rusted door of the colony. It opened in fact half of the plank fell broken. 

Junan gestured half of them to stand outside and wait. Junan, Albert and Jake entered in the colony. Jake was looking at the algae all the way. He wanted to point out but when he saw that the tip of the sword only met with the real algae then he decided to keep shut his mouth.

There was nothing particular which they could critically shuffle or any monster. Small cottages were void of any living. The dried out rooftops were in tattered condition. From outside the colony seemed opening for a big place however it was otherwise. "What we are supposed to clear?" Junan asked not knowing what to do now. The snakes living in this colony were meant to keep the next door keep hidden from the eyes of the players. 

As soon as his voice resonated in the colony; the algae rose up their heads. Arm length and smaller snakes crawled down from the walled like a flood wave. Junan was speechless to see this. "I better not asking the same question ever in my life." 

As if the world around them previously was a fake cover and suddenly this curtain fell on their feet. They wanted to step back or escape from the door of the colony but they were surrounded. Just from the color of their skin; Junan could tell the fatality of their poison. He was wielding his sword however it cannot kill much. The snakes were everywhere and they seemed not care the sword. Albert was also trying to use his Mace while Jake was firing with his pistol.
