MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 270: Special



Four years ago, the first tutorial group of the year.

"You're special, Calamity!" A beautiful, bob-haired handler said with a sweet smile. "You will do great things in the future."

The young Calamity looked up from a book and looked at her with his fiery gaze. "You think so?"

"I know so." She said with a beautiful smile and touched Calamity's short but beautiful red hair. "You can become the next king."

"I don't want to become a king." Calamity turned his gaze back to the book on his lap. "Sounds like a bother."

"Is it?" She asked with a giggle. "It sounds like a perfect job for me. I mean, you can do anything as you are the King, and everyone will know and worship you."

"Why would I need that?" Calamity asked. "As long as I have you, I am happy."

"Haha, you're so cute." She said with a giggle and kissed him on the cheek. "But I can be your queen. You just need that ambition."

"Mmh..." Calamity muttered under his breath and shook his head.

"Look at this." The handler took out a shinecoin and showed it to him. "Look at the face on the coin. That's King Moriarty. Just imagine how popular he is. Everyone knows him so that even his face is on the coin.

"Everyone will remember him for centuries. Don't you want to be remembered?"

"I guess," Calamity said. "I want to be remembered as powerful and kind."

"And you will." She hugged him from behind and smiled. "You're special after all~"

...

A few weeks later.

Through the portal, Calamity and a dozen other players stumbled out. All of them were heavily injured, as they had just finished the third floor.

"Look." The other tutorial group players whispered as they pointed in Calamity's direction. "That's Calamity. Apparently the third floor's boss defeated his entire tutorial group until Calamity finally managed to find it.

"Instead of running away, he fought the boss all by himself and defeated it!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Indeed, Calamity is really a special player!"

The players looked at him with a look of respect and reverence.

Calamity felt all those gazes but just lowered his head and headed to the third floor to meet his handler.

He didn't care about the attention and praise from others, but only cared about her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As soon as he reached the third floor, he headed straight to his room, ignoring the whispers and stares from his peers.

However, before he could reach his room, he found one of the doors open, and there she was, his handler standing by the doorway while clearly talking with another player.

As Calamity was about to call out towards her, he heard what she was saying.

"You're really special." She touched the cheek of the player, who was clearly blushing and embarrassed. "You will do great things. I can see the aura of a ruler within you."

Calamity's expression fell, and his heart sank to the depths of his stomach.

At that moment, the handler turned her head to look at him, and she looked shocked briefly before she tried to put up a facade.

"Calamity~" She bowed as courtesy. "I heard what you did on the third floor. Good job~"

"Who is this?" The player asked with a frown and jealous gaze.

"I am also his handler." She said with a slightly forced smile.

"Oh, nice to meet you." The player nodded briefly towards Calamity and then turned back to her with a smile. "Should we meet again tonight or what?"

She kept smiling, but inside she was extremely furious.

'How dense can he fucking be?' She had to resist the urge to slap him across the face. 'Didn't I tell him to keep what we're doing a secret? Men are all idiots!'

She realized why he was doing this.

Out of jealousy, he was trying to show his dominance over Calamity.

At that moment, Calamity stepped closer to her until he was standing right in front of her. He

looked straight down at her, his gaze cold, and his mouth set in a firm line.

"Was everything you said a lie?" Calamity asked.

"W-what?" She awkwardly twirled her hair and said. "Of course not!"

"Hey, you're making her uncomfortable." The player put his hand on Calamity's shoulder and pushed him a step back. "Keep your distance."

GRAB!

Calamity's hand grabbed the player by the throat, lifting him off the ground.

"GRH!" The player's face turned red. "L-let me go, bastard!"

"What're you doing?!" The handler tried to make him drop him, but she couldn't even make him flinch. "Calamity, stop it!"

"Am I not special?" Calamity asked coldly.

"Just let him go, Calamity!" She screamed and punched him in the arm, but he just didn't let

go.

"Answer!" Calamity asked in anger and accidentally snapped the player's neck.

The handler screamed and covered her mouth. "Y-y-you killed him!"

Calamity backhanded her across the face, knocking her to the ground. He then tossed the player's corpse away like trash and stood over her.

She touched her cheek and teared up. "C-Calamity, w-why?"

"Haha, I get it now!" Calamity laughed. "This is your program, right?"

"P-program, what?" She didn't understand what that meant.

"You go and tell how special the players are, sleep with them like a whore, because that is

your program, isn't it?" He asked. "It is in your code."

"I-I don't understand, and no, I didn't sleep with anyone else than you. You have to trust me,

I really think you're special!"

"I should've known." Calamity laughed. "You fucking Originals. None of you are real. I am

stupid to fall for a fake person; what the fuck is wrong with me?"

He laughed to himself and retrieved his sword from his inventory.

She paled and shouted. "Don't!"

At that moment, footsteps came from the end of the hallway, and a man with a black mohawk

walked over to them with a cold glint in his eyes.

"Mauricio, please come save me!" She shouted. "He is trying to kill me!"

Calamity's eyes narrowed as he watched the current caretaker of the tutorial walk over to

them.

"Bothersome." Mauricio saw the dead player and sighed. "More paperwork, fucking great."

"Don't you dare to stop me." Calamity warned.

"Stop you? Why would I do that?" Mauricio asked.

"Eh?" Calamity frowned.

"M-Mauricio." She looked stunned. "Your duty is to protect me!"

"No, it ain't." Mauricio scoffed and turned around to walk away. "I suggest hiding the bodies

in that player's room. That room might stay unused for a couple of years until one

unfortunate player happens to get it."

"MAURICIO!" She screamed, but then a sword came falling down and hacked her head off.

"Wait!" Calamity called out towards him. "Who're you?"

"Mauricio Slaughter."

Mauricio came to a stop and turned to look at him.

"I'll remember it." Calamity started dragging the bodies inside the player's room.

"Scary guy..." Mauricio grinned and walked away.

...

The present day.

With the hundreds of arms growing from his right arm, Calamity formed hundreds of fists,

and they all started raining down on Adam.

With his eyes narrowing, Adam weaved through the raining fists while using his Kiryoku at

full strength. It looked like the fists were raindrops, falling at such intensity that it was

almost impossible to keep up with.

Raquel, and thousands of Originals just watched as he kept dodging and dodging, doing something that all of them thought was impossible.

They couldn't understand how Adam was able to keep dodging!

At that moment, Adam jumped through a small gap between arms and appeared right in front

of Calamity, a cold glare in his eyes.

"I see the hate in your eye!" Calamity laughed. "What did I do for you to hate me such?"

Adam swung his sword down, but hundreds of more arms sprouted from Calamity's body and

acted as a shield.

The sword cut through about fifty arms before getting stuck in the flesh.

The two men locked gazes.

This was a start of the fight that would change the future of the New World, drastically.
