The Player's System

Empty Tower

They entered the tower. The single path led them nowhere. They stood to search the door. The slightly bigger central place was empty. Team head and others were surprised.

They anticipated that it would easier again however it turned out they should put some effort. Earlier the soldiers entered in the tower and tried to capture the tear.

The small cube tired them to death but the chase did not end. The cube kept moving away from their approach. Finally the tear turned in neutral state or else they might have spotted it easily.

"Spread around and properly search it. It should be here else there is no reason for the soldiers to stand in front of the tower." Team head spoke. Team members spread in all directions.

The shapeless inner structure needed exploration. Sashi moved her hand on the dusty wall. It got covered with the dust. "I wonder when they built it?" she dusted her hand and commented.

Jake tapped on the walls in hope that the cube may fell from some crevice.

They were careful. After some time they gathered because the cube was nowhere. Jake asked task panel for a clue.

[The third tower is holding the third tear.]

Jake wanted to know where it was hiding perhaps the task panel was rigid to tell him anything.

"Is it possible that the king took it from the tower?" Orin asked curiously. There was possibility because the soldiers were already standing in front of the tower.

According to some rules of this game portal the king is the boss so naturally he cannot personally influence smaller quests. Also the power of Ashmorn may seem incomplete still no one can forcefully take her assets or belongings. Orin take a look at the book of detection." Junan explained the possibility.

Orin nodded and opened the book of detection. "The third tower is holding the third tear." He read the text.

Jake heard and wanted to give some lecture to the task panel. Task panel should have given better clue than the ordinary one.

This confirmed that the third tear was still in the tower. "I think we should check it again." Junan ordered them to search. They spread.

Albert tapped on the ground he was curious as to where was the tear. Apparently there was no hiding spot for lit cube unless it was no more lit. This thought widened his eyes.

"How we are supposed to search dark cube?" He asked Junan. Junan shook his shoulders. He was also clueless.

The thing that made them confuse that the tear just disappeared. "Should we use weapons to poke the walls?" Clark asked. He was looking foolish when searching. He seemed like searching needle in the garbage.

"I don't know. Hope it won't damage the cube." Junan blinked his eyes as if did not know what to answer. They were able to find inner door but it was not helpful.

One by one they gave up searching. Junan saw them as if returned from biggest battle of their life. Jake was also tired. "We have searched each corner, every single inch of walls. Now only the Ashmorn could search her tear." As soon as Clark spoke the last sentence the cube lit up and fell from the ceiling.

Clark was siting against the extended rock of the tower when the cube fell. Junan captured it before it could fell on the ground. They got shocked it was quite pleasant. Normally Clark and his words were taken no serious.

However it proved blessing. Few things were coded. They could not solve them without luck. "Finally you proved your worth Clark." Junan chuckled. He mostly overlooked his blabbering.

Clark twitched his facial expressions. He was speechless. Instead of speaking something bad he laughed, "Man I love you though I am not interested in men." He liked team head and the way he was leading this team. Clark was lively person also he was secretly aware about the reputation scale.

He knew that his reaction would be counted. Junan looked at Albert and shook his single brow asking silently what was wrong with Clark.

Albert gave silent expressions that he was clueless.

Albert stood up. The third tear was emitting light. It was sign that the gate was ready to open. "Perhaps the task would be different after reaching newer place. Get ready…" team head could not complete his sentence.

The emitting light covered them entirely and shifted in the central Mala city. It shook the entire city giving blunt signs that Runners entered in the central place.

Three palaces were informed about this. Three kings were worried. Runners were getting stronger with each completed task. They their weapons were gaining power and their body was gain strength according to the pace.

This slow progress let them understand the best points about this game portal. They did not need to worry for collecting recent rewards. The normal rewards were adding up in their level ability.

It made them worry-free. The level rewards they could collect after the level completion. The changes in the settings and the tasks were challenging however it was feasible since no game would become famous without difficulty levels.

However there would be some problematic events when the other teams managed to survive in some levels. They could potentially disturb the pace of each other and snatch tasks.

Snatching tasks could add up problems because the strength gains would be divided when another team snatched it. At that time the players would be hostile from each other. Some will take advantage.

Third team was not aware what could happen to their progress and gains at that point.

The only survival option would be evil and selfish. It was merely second level and beginning of their challenges. Jake was informed by the task panel so he was eagerly waiting for the day to come when his right arm could take the controls.

The stats were being refreshed and he could take a look whenever he wanted to check it.
