Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 38: A Week Has Passed



Chapter 38: A Week Has Passed

It’s been a week since Zach and his friends got stuck in the Gods’ impact. One week was the minimum limit of the long-dive, and the players could log out of the VR games, or so was the case with the other games, but Gods’ Impact was different. It wasn’t even a game in the first place. It was a world, an online world created by the gods.

Even if their body were removed from the VR capsule, they would still be in the game.

Even if there was a power outage in the real world, nothing would change in the game.

They didn’t know that it wasn’t their consciousness in the game. It was their soul— which was connected to their body in the real world.

Thousands of others thought they would be able to log out sooner or later, or perhaps the governments of their respective countries would help them out. They believed the scientists and experts would be able to find a solution.

Maybe they would, but perhaps it would be too late.

Zach woke like he always did and saw his quest progress.

[4970/5000 MP cultivated.]

“It seems I don’t have to worry about this quest. I might even clear it by sleeping.”

He got off the bed and warmed up by stretching his hands and legs.

“I wanted to go to the dungeon today, but I will hold that thought for tomorrow.” Zach remembered what happened two days ago and muttered, “Tower is a lot easier than the dungeon. We can’t even retreat in the dungeon…”

Zach wanted to have more than 5000 MP before entering the dungeon again as he was going to clear the 31st floor onwards.

“Not to mention, Aurora’s maids, her masters who taught her sword fighting, died on the 34th floor. I should consider her feelings.”

Zach had noticed that whenever he mentioned the dungeon raid, Aurora tried to divert the topic. He soon realized that she was afraid, or rather, the 34th floor was traumatizing her.

Zach checked his notification to see if he had received any messages. Much to his surprise, he had received over 50 messages from Kayden.

“What’s with him?” Zach read the messages, and most of them were spam, saying, ‘Come to my room. Shay has lost it. Help me out.’

Zach let out a weary sigh and went to Kayden’s room to see what was going on. When he entered Kayden’s room, he saw Shay was making a ruckus and yelling, “That’s not possible!”

‘What happened to him now?’ Zach wondered and approached Shay and Kayden.

“Sup? Did you eat something spicy?” Zach joked and leaned on Kayden’s shoulder.

Shay grabbed Zach’s collar and uttered with a furious look on his face: “What is the meaning of this?”

“What?” Zach asked, dumbfounded.

“Why can’t we log out?! It has been more than six days!”

Zach pulled Shay’s hands from his collar and said, “Why are you asking me? You are the gaming nerd, not me.”

Shay gritted his teeth in frustration and sat on the bed. “Nothing is making sense! Why is this game like this?! There are so many strict rules and limitations!”

Zach and Kayden glanced at each other and nodded.

“Shay…” Kayden sat beside Shay and said in a calm voice: “It’s about time you start believing in what the black slime said was true.”

“No way! There is no way I would believe in gods and shit!” Shay shouted. He looked at Kayden and said, “Come on Kayden. You know me. I don’t believe in things I don’t see. And stuff like gods is just a myth. No one believes in them. If you do, you will get laughed at.”

Zach looked at Shay and uttered inwardly: ‘This has shocked him so much that he is speaking in a monotonous tone.’

‘Well, I can’t blame him. This is a normal reaction.’

Shay was like a king of the city and the Prince of the country. He could do anything and could make anything happen using his parents name.

For him to be stuck in Gods’ Impact with no powers or connection was nothing but hell. It was like he was stripped from his powers and became a nobody.

Zach and Kayden somehow convinced Shay and went downstairs to eat breakfast.

‘I wonder what Aurora is doing? We met a day ago, but we missed each other yesterday.’

Yesterday, Zach was strolling around the realm to know the game better. So he went to ask Aurora to show him around. However, Aurora had gone to the Tower.

She said she was only going to clear the lower floors to practice her sword skills. But when Zach asked if he could help her, she denied him and told him to stroll around the realm.

However, Zach didn’t want to go alone, so he went to the Tower. On the other hand, Aurora felt bad, so she left the Tower and went to the spot Zach initially waypoint-ed.

They missed each other and couldn’t meet.

After eating breakfast, Zach messaged Aurora and asked her to accompany him on his stroll around the realm.

At the same time, something was hovering in the sky, as though it was about to do something.

DING!

DING!

DING!

DING!

DING!

All the players heard a voice in their heads that said: [Listen, you mortals. You are in the presence of the archangel Gabriel!]
