The Player's System

Fourth Level

Today the players were sitting in front of the playstation with active consoles. The time was ticking toward the opening of the fourth level. All teams were making changes in the characters.

Albert did not need to work on the character. It was all good and cool for the audience. This was the reason that Albert was second at the reputation ranking board.

His bald head character along with painted face created quite an impressive aura of the Shieldman which was his profession. His actions were majestic. Most of the time he was one of those who showed sober moves. He was diligent. He only gave suggestion when he has relatively better idea to go through the task.

Less speak and more work seemed his best interest in the game. Albert looked at his well thought out character on the screen holding shield in the right hand and spear in the left. He was ready for the live portal.

Jake took last glance after fixing and merging the character details. The real blond hair were now light brown, and the eye color was matching with the hair color. Originally he has deep blue eye. He was thinking to remove the belt from the waist because now he could use his right arm. There was single shield in the left hand which he occasionally hung at the back when he used gun. Jake wore half mask at the right side of his face. He wanted to create unique character however he was not sure if the changes were applicable.

The gaming gown was shining with the slates of armor. One could see strange yet glamorous glove on his right hand. It appeared in the game it showed in his image which he used for the creation of the character.

After deliberation Jake saved changes. He was done finalizing his character.

Sashi Removed the hairpin from her hair. She liked ponytail without accessories. Her gaming gown was not glamours with blush of color. It was plain black. All slates shined black as well. Now that Junan pointed about her girly eye mask, she was ready to change it.

Team head did not point out for any certain reason however she thought to completely reset. She designed a plain black mask that entirely covered her face leaving eyes. Now her character looked mysterious and powerful. The crossbow hung at the front. The arrow pouch hung around waist.

Making sure there was nothing else to add in the character details, Sashi clicked and saved.

Orin was sitting in front of screen looking his character. The tiger printed mask matched with his gaming gown. The gaming gown has brown shade along with the slates of crimson armor. The character holding the Mace as his main weapon looked complete now. His fat belly was no more apparent in the character. The real black hair got the highlight fixing. He didn't want to change the eye color.

He hung the small dagger in his waist. It was all done.

Ahram had original short hair however he changed them to little longer yet curly. Instead of mask he painted black lines on his cheeks. His green eyes made unique contrast with the blonde hair. He didn't change the color of his hair and eyes. The chain hung across shoulder toward waist. The fit marron gown made him look like blunt attacker.

He hoped that team head would be satisfied with his changes.

Junan didn't need to bring any changes in his maroon gown and the stout appearance. The simple mask made was enough to hide his face. There was shining badge in the middle of his chest as the symbol of leader.

Clark big built man of the team glanced his character deliberating whether to polish it or not. His gaming gown was extraordinary plushie which made him burly and bulky. The back hood covered his half face which was enough.

The right hand was covered with thick glove to handle the hammer. As he was done after saving changes. The level perks would show up once the portal showed the live status.

It was time for the opening of the portal. The teams walked toward the platform. Three teams standing in front of entrance.

There were only seven professions. However the choice of weapons was done by the players. The players of first and second team selected dangerous weapons this time. Since it was their first chance of entering in the portal so they were not restricted to pick the weapons of previous dead players.

One could tell they were extra prepared for the fourth level. The mix of weapons along with their horrible character appearance immediately got the attention of the spectators.

The live portal opened up with the announcement. The digital clock started dropping seconds and then minutes. At the entrance there was written the name of the fourth level 'Bull's Eyes'

As expected it captured the attention. The spectators got curious as to what would happen in the quests and tasks and what was the 'Bull's Eyes' exactly.

The teams entered through separate entrances at the various parts of the level area. Unlike other levels the teams did not appear in the open ground instead they entered in the grand building. 'Grand Exhibition Museum' was created for the fourth level by the developers.

Not just the word but it was actually grand. One might get lost easily. There were several paths, parts and halls where different type of Museum related stuff was available.

It was similar of any Museum exhibiting the past, present and future through artifacts, objects, and documents. There was many more in fact which one might take a year to explore.

Junan surveyed slowly. "This fourth level is set in a museum. And the target is Bull's Eyes. But where is this Bull's Eyes?" He murmured under his breath.

There was not some open path actually instead they in front of the reception desk.. There was receptionist however she was busy in whatever document.
