The Player's System

Choice

Their choice actually saved them because if they had chosen the silent colony then they might have attacked by the Python in the dark. The other colony was trap. Players decide to clear simple and easy tasks normally. 

For this reason Python set this trap. It tried to act smart however the team was willing to bet for the hardest job. After all they were here for the levels. 

"What will be our collaboration? There are things that making me worried." Orin spoke. He was asking the team head. Orin was much different from others. He worked harder however less likely bother his brain most of the time. 

He could jump from the cliff on the gesture of the team head however seeing that team head was walking silently made him worried. "We are heading toward the last colony if I am not wrong then it should be you opening the Book of Detection and read the clue." Junan halted his steps and reminded. 

There was not sliver of apprehension or twisted expressions, Junan figured out the nature of this team member so he was lenient most of the time. 

"Indeed I should look in to it." Orin lowered his head and brought out the book of detection. The outer cover of the book was masterly designed as if the precious ancient script was written inside. 

Orin got surprised because there were two pages instead of one. The first page was maroon color. The words were written with white ink. The second page was also maroon however the words were written with the golden ink. 

"Do not keep glaring the pages. Read them instead." Junan spoke expressionless. "Sure, killing Python is impossible without luck. The luck never wait for the cowards." Orin read the first page and looked at the team head. 

The team members also stopped to listen in the clue from the book. Junan sighed, "If you had been good in your profession you might have decoded these words. Now tell me whether the book is pointing us cowards or pushing us not to be?" Junan asked Orin. 

His tone was in no way hitting type however he wanted to let Orin understand that sooner or later all of them should learn their assigned professions to make the advancement practical. 

This level and the levels ahead were clearly designed with the professions rather than passive or impassive skills. There was no more normal level up methods used in this game portal. The players were given tough hit ups for the every level. 

Without understanding their professions better way they might be dragging the level. Presently they were wining because of the best level collaboration however if there were two more active team along with them then this collaboration might lapse at many point. 

The reason did not need explanation. Orin lowered his head. This profession was grim and he wanted to change it if they happened to reach next level. 

"I will take this profession in the next level." Albert chuckled. He liked to decode or do detective job. In fact he wanted to establish his Detective agency after winning lot of money from this game portal. "Sure if the things did not restrict us again." Junan agreed. 

"Perhaps it meant that there is something between the Python and the players that should be solved. It could be ogres of the Python or some broken gates again." Orin sounded explaining. Junan yawned, "It literally does not make sense." 

"We can know after entering through any opened gates? I am sure there will be troops ready to welcome us." Sashi chimed in the conversation. She pointed toward the opened gate. They nodded. The time was slipping like unrestricted horse. 

"There is another page, should I read it too?" Orin asked team head. Junan and others fell speechless. "What are you waiting man?" Ahram spoke up. 

Orin opened the second page but could not read. The black clouds over the dark colony started thundering as if threating or afraid of something. The team members got certain that second page meant something important. 

"Read it already." Clark beckoned. Orin nodded and read, "Collect the shredded skin of the Python and burn." They heard and sighed. "So we have direction now. The shredded skin of the Python should burn for the sake of good." Clark spoke enthusiastic waving the sharp blade in the air. 

He seemed challenging the Python, also calling his troop for this deed. Jake silently acclaimed. He recently read the clue of the system and the reason behind this task. 

The purpose of burning the shredded skin was clear. Presently the size of the Python was huge and the players might get reduced to mincemeat in front of it. By completing this tough task they will be spared from the big ordeal. 

If they enter in the colony and perhaps broke the seal along with cross the dead zone then they would be helpless in front of Python. The question was whether they could break the seal or cross the dead zone without losing team members? Definitely not. 

They would go missing in the two seals then the dead zone would prove their morgue. Python created these barriers in order to make the dark colony a safe place for living. 

The seals were secured with the loyal troops and the hidden traps. The Book of Detection gave them golden clue because they perfectly destroyed second heart. 

The tasks and the rewards were relevant based on their efforts and the way they tackle situation. The rewards were part of the game portal because the organizers were afraid of the learned spectators. 

This was the reason that the second page was written with golden ink. "Hope this golden ink reduces our troubles. Now we are heading toward the opened gate. Our task is to collect shredded skin then burn." Junan reminded out of habit. 

He walked ahead of others to lead them. Jake was very glad because they were at the last colony ready to face the Python. The task of the system was waiting for his action.
