The Player's System

Chapter 36 - Play Around

Play around

Jake held his gun moving aside. From the front view the ogres were standing in the windows and not the open door. There was small distance of the wall from door to the window. Between the distances the wall was safe. Jake thought that standing straight under the view would bring trouble for him. 

From this view the ogres could aim target at him and attack consecutively. He walked carefully keeping strict eye at the movements of the ogres. All seven players were tackling their individual problems; they were far from each other and could not come to help others. 

Second serpent forced many groups of the ogres to not let the players come alive from this trouble. Earlier they were in a team and undefeatable most of the time due to their flawless collaboration. For this reason second serpent planned by pouring sweat and blood and finally the team members were surrounded individually. 

Jake crept toward the safe wall. He was secretive in his movements trying his best to give bring surprise for the hiding ogres. He sneaked toward the window from the side of the wall then turned his neck to see the opened door. "I better close it first." He murmured thinking that if he happened to focus on the window then the cunning ogres might use this opened door for ambush. 

Also it was the suggestion by the system. He was informed to stay alert and act agile. Any type of damage would reduce his hard earned Exp. Jake would battle to no end, struggle like mad wager but would not let the earned Exp go to waste. After separating from the team, for few moments he felt that he would not be able to stand alone however the system left a notification. 

The words written on the notification stabbed his heart and stung his head like the deadly beast. His courage turned in to force and mad anger. The courage could dwindle eventually with the circumstances however the force and mad anger would die with the body. 

Jake kept his stature half lowered and moved toward the door. There was no one around the door hence he shut it immediately. After doing this job, he returned toward the side where the first window could be seen. Half cover was broken and the other half hung at the side. The ogres were sneaking from the broken part. 

The glint in their eyes was searching the kid while the kid was moving silently toward the window. Jake wanted to hit bullet directly in their heads to save his capacity. The system opted out the total numbers of the ogres in the cottage which was beneficial for his planning as to how to tackle them. 

Since the cottage was small, there were only nine ogres big and small all along. If the bullet hit the body then it was necessary to fire thrice or above to kill the normal ogres however if the bullet hit head then it could kill immediately. 

For this option Jake was ready to transpire for sudden attacks. Using bullets without perfect target might bring trouble because the gun would demand cool down after given number of attacks. Leaving it on cool down would leave him at the brink. There was no other weapon which he could use with his left hand. 

The small gun was lifeline for now. He thought to use grenades however halted because there was no escape path away from the cottage. The front street was still gluey and small creepy creatures were blocking paths. 

There was no way other than to clear the cottage and then look for the next cottage where the fifth team member could be seen using shovel as weapon. His miner profession provided different type of weapons. The metallic shine of the shovel was another type of threat for the enemies. 

Ahram was learning to use his professional weapons though it was difficult however because of his assigned profession he was limited to work with the available weapons. Junan the team head could see the problem and did not initially forced him to take part actively in blunt attacks. 

Now that he was alone hence he was experimenting with the all five weapons. There was shovel in one hand and scythe in the second hand. His agile movements were trouble for the ogres those trying to sneak attack. 

There was small drilling weapon hung on his waist and a rope around his shoulder, once assigned they could get second profession after level five only. They were thinking to exchange their professions if they successfully crossed level one however the surprise restriction was waiting for them. 

Creepy creatures were the inhabitants of this third street, by clearing the cottage the team members could get rid the gluey liquid running in the surrounding. It also restricted their choice to join other team members to make pair for the attacks. All of them would tackle their problems first and clear the assigned cottages. 

The eyeless serpent was standing at the end of the street with its army of the creatures. In case the team tried to act smart and jump around, the creature would stop them. The team members were not some noobs. Only newbie would think to take short route for the level advancement while here all of them were experienced. 

They knew the importance when it was asked to clear the area. It meant clear from the ogres and all relevant monsters. By killing all of them and clearing gave them hp as well as reduce the force of the NPC's. This critical aspect was known to the experienced players not the kids. 

Jake was younger among them however the system was guiding perfectly to let him learn how to play the game professionally. He was never gamer however always dreamed to be one and celebrated gamer. His disability always appeared as the hindrance for his dream. The circumstances forced him to test his grounds with the advantage of the secret helper.
