Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 4

She joins Kenyan in the waiting room seeing all sorts of fighters looking a tad strong but a vast majority she didn't recognized, in this game aside your personal game a player could interact with one another, play tournaments & raid dungeons as a group, challenge fellow players and some of the stuff you can think is possible within a VR environment but then again it wasn't a VR game more like something in between a computer game and VR game trying to merge both,concepts together to find a fine balance that gave a different experience and if she was asked the producers

 

..did one hell of a job, she wondered if she was just going to was away in a waiting room for 2 days like there wasn't anything better to do until all participants we collected cause she can't say recruited based on how Kenyan explained it to her before now, she stands up and walk towards the hall on her immediate right she finds a door that had organizer written on it..she opens the door to find a middle aged man probably in his 50's sitting at a desk at the other end directly facing the door

 

Almost as if he was expecting someone to walk in or rather he was expecting her to do so, the man ushers her to come in and close the door introducing himself as Moses, which struck her as weird a game NPC with the name Moses was just weird..the person who designed this character must've really being a devout follower of God, coming to it this man didn't look at her or even speak like a normal NPC would, he had some sort of self in his speech and character but she didn't want to dwell on that

 

Asking the man what she could do to kill time she couldn't wait for 2 days to elapse while the rest come in.

 

Moses: there many things you can do before, 2 days run out but the one thing that was forbidden was challenging fighters taking part in the draft.

,Raya: tell me.

Moses: there are castle raids, missions and call forth's

 

Raya was lost, she was familiar with the in-game terms but all what this man said was completely new to her, he notices the puzzled look on her face and he fills he in.

 

Castle raids where similar to dungeons but like the name implied it happened in castles, the monsters were different from beasts they were used to but the ranking format was the same; missions she already figured were assignments but given the place it was to a capacity and lastly; call forth's which was were she always got, speculating it sounded like some ritual or summoning of sorts but Moses said it was based on a fighter's capacity, a fighter's current strength would determine what monster

 

Dead and that included the dragon so he had basically played a dragon setting an impossible record that is still awaiting a match till date, for some reason she knew these things she wasn't supposed to know even though she only spawned into this game 6 hours ago.

 

,Raya: but Hang never became dragon god, there are stories of what happened after the merging was over.

Moses: stories that don't concern or interest you I presume.

,Raya: no they don't but thanks for the talk.

 

She heads back to the waiting room to find Kenyan conversing with another player, the player had a familiar to him; fiery red hair and eyes, black all over with a cool, calm, collected countenance that resembled that of a caring but dependable brother but what clicked was the scar across his lower neck to his chest immediately remembering who he was "Roshi!!", this handsome character turns to see her looking all high and mighty walking around with a giant axe, he embraces her, they catch up..surprisingly this heated

 

Lump of fire power was still as brash and aggressive as always, she received a challenge at the beginning of her era as a "gladiator", this guy challenged her and his location selection was funny, it was a mansion, now why on,earth would someone choose a location like that for a fight but she understood why when their battle begun..

His power was fire concentrated but his was called "Master Fire", the way fire works it's detached and spread out, takes a form of a straight line attack and has to

 

Reactivated or used anew after several shots but his own was different, the same way water was manipulated, the user could change it's shape and form amidst use in battle until scattered apart, simply said his flames contract together causing bonds that allow him to fire at one direction then redirect it while in motion if it misses it's target..so in an enclosed space a power like that was no joke, but she proved her worth and defeated him since then he's had nothing but respect for her and she

 

For him..

 While at it a young guy appears out of nowhere, standing upright in mid air which was enough to get their attention, he says he's Aaron, another devout follower of God in Raya's perspective and just like the old man he was also a character of his own.

 

Aaron: this world belongs to the organizer, his rules but the fight pens belong to me.

 

Random player: so what the dashdraft fights are overseen by you?

 

Aaron: and Mr Moses as well he decides the game, the game decides the outcome.

 

Raya: "this guy is like Roshi.. hot headed but seems okay none the less"

Aaron: those who wish to play the games before the selection is up should listen up.

,Raya: what is this supposed to be about?

Aaron: there are three doors, to your left right & behind you;they all lead to separate locations.

 

The door to your left is the castle raid entrance, to your right, the missions entrance and behind you is the call forth entrance, all rules to each game is explained a lot better when you have crossed

 

Over to any side, these will serve as overtime for the next 43 hours before whence the draft will begin, after saying enough Aaron vanishes into thin air leaving everyone to decide what they wanted to do..there was a lot of commotion around the hall which kept getting rowdier until a fellow spoke up attracting the attention of everyone, Raya also looks over to observe the player who was speaking, seeing it was a tall man, an uptight countenance with the structuring of his hair and beards taking

 

The shape of a lion's mane leaving the man with a predatory face, the insignia embedded on the back of his hands was a lion, funny enough he had enough strength to quiet such a crowd but that didn't seem like it rather it was more of reputation than strength so he had to have made a serious impact in this game for such a response to just the sound of his voice..

 

Kenyan: he wants to talk?

Roshi: this had to be something if he was to speak

,Raya: who is this guy anyway?

Roshi: shh...
