Chapter 92: Meeting Nara
"Village dungeon instant respawn spell: It's used to instantly summon a village dungeon, five levels lower than the player level, with gold rank at maximum."
"Yes, it's a spell," he nodded as stored the scroll inside his inventory again, rapidly scanning the others to find them all like this one. "So this was meant for the village to train their guards?" he thought about these scrolls, as he had roughly a hundred of them.
The law here was for the player to face monsters higher than him with five levels, and that also applied to the dungeon levels, a more reason for the leveler to be present in any team.
However these scrolls would solve a huge problem for players. "If players knew about these in the right time, then I can easily amass a huge amount of money," he muttered with shining eyes and drooling mouth. He knew how hard it was to adapt to this first stage of coming to village, but he would be stupid to sell them at this time.
"I have to wait for players to reach level twenty at least, then I can get a very high price for these scrolls."
He then had only one thing left, this strange box. "I can't just take it out in the open like this, I need some place hidden to do that," he muttered as he passed through the village leveling basic grounds, surrounded by peacefully eating or moving monsters.
As he was thinking about finding a place for him to take out the box and examine it, he felt there was some group of players stalking him!
At first he thought they were heading towards the leveling wilderness grounds, so he changed his course, shifting off the main direction to there. however they still followed.
After confirming they were following him, he stopped, just a mile or less away from the safe tree line, turned around and patiently waited for them.
He didn't fill the death souls he could amass to the fullest, making him able to kill more players with ease.
However he wasn't such a maniac, as long as they weren't those of bad luck to have mainline quests, he wouldn't go out of his line and kill them; except if they were really annoying, like that annoying Derick.
He stopped, and they stopped, while none spoke. The atmosphere felt heavy, especially on the new players, who were glancing at a living legend, seeing him this far, and this was like a dream to some.
But not all of them were mesmerized by the presence of Bloom.
They were a small group of seven players, all from one faction, and it seemed to him they were friends or comrades for such a long time already.
Their moves were unified, and when they stopped one player moved a couple of steps and stood in their front, indicating his superiority.
They all had gears, two gears on each player's body, one weapon and the other was armor, indicating their experience in knowing what was more important than most in the beginning.
Out of the seven, there were three females and four males, and their leader, surprisingly, was a female player, a double sword wielder faction girl, looked pretty serious and tough.
She was slightly taller than him, with a face that wasn't that stunning in beauty, but she had her own traits. Her hair was black, like the color of her eyes, long and aligned together to form a long ponytail. Her stance told him that she wasn't a newbie, with the way she was holding the two swords, putting them over her shoulders like she didn't care about anything in the world.
He felt her self confidence, but he didn't know if she was arrogant or not, a friend or a foe.
"Hi, I think you are player Bloom, right?" she spoke with her tone that had a slight touch of harshness in it, making it weird to come from a girl like her.
Bloom examined her again, full breasts bulging, slightly covered by her thinly carved armor, her wavy body and smooth white skin making her a female, not a male. "It's me, who are you?"
"We are here seeking for peace," the girl said, before pointing one of her swords to the backline of six players, "I'm Nara, and these are my team, or what's left of it. this stupid game moved us randomly and let us be separated. Out of a fifty team, all I have now are those six, and me."
Her words were spontaneous, hiding nothing from Bloom who knew she spoke the truth. The rule of the game to separate players from each other was such a harsh rule on many players, especially those who had many players already in their teams.
"It's a bizarre rule indeed, and I welcome any friends like I welcome any enemy," he replied calmly as he wasn't feeling any pressure from being outnumbered like this.
"Calm down, I'm not the enemy you should trouble yourself with, but there is one you should take seriously," she said while waving the sword towards the distant tree line, as there were many player shadows standing in between the trees, as if they were waiting for something.
"Are they my enemies?" he asked.
"They are our enemies, of course if you agreed for us to be playing with you," she said, giving him her offer.
Bloom glanced at the distant tree line. He wasn't afraid of facing all those players, however the offer he had just now was what interested him. "I work as the boss at any place I go, is there a problem with that?" he asked directly without even glancing away from the tree line, giving his back to the seven players here.
"Sure, we know of your deeds and I trust you will take us to new heights," Nara instantly said, without having a moment of doubt.
"That's great then," Bloom chuckled as he created a group and sent invitations to the players standing in front of them.
"There is one more thing," Nara said after accepting the invitation, "these enemies are all instigated by a single player, one who hailed from a noble and wealthy family in the real life. he learnt about your presence here and he was so jealous it seems of you, so he made an offer to those in the village.
Many responded, to be honest all except us took the offer, and they are now waiting for you there at the tree line, as they plan to ambush you there."
Her words piqued the interest of Bloom who pointed to the tree line up ahead as he asked:
"What's the name of that player?"
"Panty," she replied, and the moment she did, Bloom glanced at her with a widened eyes before he burst out in a wave of laughter.
"Oh god, destiny really has its own tricks sometimes, hahaha!"
