The Player's System

Kill me

The overall structure of this colony was not complex apparently. Teams could easily compete or ploy if needed. The crawling body was human and according to their information, none other character was designed human other than the teams. They got alert and frightened as well. The miserable condition of the player made their hair stand on root ends. 

Junan looked around to notice something off as planned by the other team but he could not spot anything suspicious. The crawling player tried to stand up however the numb feet were unable to support the balance. Clearly he was in worst condition caused by the poison. 

Since the other team entered from the second entrance of the game portal, they met different type of circumstances. They were unable to sense the poison form mixed in the air. Some of the poisons were to make the living creatures as the slave of the Python, other types of poison were used as the source of pleasure for the python. There were several hundred creatures facing various types of reactions of the poison making the whole district repugnant place for living. 

This opponent team member was unable to die even after getting poisoned. This type of poison was the second type and barely could grant the death wish earlier. This slow death was source pleasure for the hidden Python. Half of the player was green while the other half deep blue. 

The trembling hands were dragging the body barely. "Stay on alert, I will go check." Junan murmured and walked towards the player. "Can you use your weapon and kill me?" the player saw the opponent team head and almost begged. He was going through the intense pain. The poison was running in the veins yet the breathing was still going. It was frustrating to face the endless pain of death. 

There was no way to end this misery. He tried his weapon earlier but it was sort of restricted. It was another surprise though the controls were not restricted about the weapons however the certain condition could not grant the control. The player was meant to face the slow death. 

Junan twitched at the request. He was in no way ruckus creator or hazy brain to attack without considering anything. "I am afraid, I cannot do this." Junan refused. "Please do not go away. There is no drawback in attacking opponent players. I have read full guide of the game portal." The poisoned player stuttered several times before completing the sentence.

"Even it is, I still cannot help regarding this. The most I can ensure is to bring the angry ogre near you. Let's hope the ogre waste some effort on you." Junan waved the sword. From his face, he was looking calm and composed while nobody could sneak his heart and brain. Junan was unable to decide whether he should just run and show his gratitude to the young player or took some mercy on the helpless opponent. 

He might have fulfilled the request however he was afraid about the type of poison. Some ominous thoughts were running in his head. Those wild thoughts stopped him from any action. Few slaves spotted team members. They were given last chance and it could be their last day. This team was still intact from the surrounding poison. 

The most problematic thing they were slowly clearing the district; it was enough to bring cold sweat for the responsible creatures. Cobra Lord was guarding Second Heart. The ape and the lizard army failed in protecting the tunnel from the team. This caused the Third Heart get destroyed eventually. 

It was the last chance to stop the team. If they were able to destroy Second Heart then the Hidden Python would be in trouble. With the killing of the Third Heart, some extent amount of poison has already decreased from the surrounding.  

It was troublesome to reach the Second Heart however it would increase the chances for the team. In normal cases the team might have wiped out if they happened to search the boss directly. The hidden Python was strongest in the district, the only disadvantage that it separated the three hearts. 

Junan shouted at the slaves to attract the attention. The team members stepped aside seeing the team head up to something else. The slaves saw the team head mocking them, they wildly ran toward him. "I did my part." Junan voiced to tell the opponent player and jumped away. 

The attack of the slaves fell on the miserable player and he finally lost last bit of hp. As it went dead, there was announcement. It was to tell that one complete team wiped out in the first level. Junan gasped. It was notion that one member of the second team was alive somewhere asking for death the same way? Junan thought and shook his head. 

He went to lead the team members for further progress. The second cottage was near them. This colony seemed more than silent ever as if many enemies were sneaking from the spy spots or keeping eyes at them. 

"I don't know but the signs are bluntly pointing that this colony has much importance and if we cleared it professionally then we can bear some hope of winning this level." Junan waved the sword. His tone was bearing some hope and it was apparent. Finally there were some signs but it brought double fold danger. 

"Wait, we should collect the grass roots?" he asked the young player for confirmation. Jake did not receive any warning from the system so he was clueless whether the roots will still save them from poison. 

Jake summoned the system window glancing over the instructions. He blinked and pretended as if noting down the environment around. "The poison in the air has decreased we can notice however I had premonition that the grass roots might not work anymore. We need to look for something that could revert back the direct poison attack…" he was thinking reasonable excuse for bringing up the concern.
