The Player's System

Gusts

They were forced to place their hands on their nose. The increasing smell made them vomit out guts. It was adding to their freshly gained confidence, well not adding positively. 

The sight in front looked like they were going to become part of chaos and get lost among the gusts of wind and the screaming ogres. It was nervy to stand out during such strange settings. 

Trio spotted others and ran toward them. Sashi and Ahram were little reluctant to believe that the tunnel finally ended and they were currently in the second seal however the welcoming screams were not that they were expecting. 

With the collapse of previous grounds they were standing in the middle of second seal and the ogres. There was no choice but to walk ahead, retreat has already gone missing from the options.

They could imagine that the presence of any task was no more in question seeing the gusts of pungent smell. It was full of poison. The Python was breathing out in order to create drawback for the team members. 

This direct breath could easily influence their hp. For this reason Python was hundred percent sure that after making them weaker it could defeat them eventually. 

They gathered. All of them were using their available masks to cover their faces. Fortunately because of the virus outbreak the game portal designed masks in order to outshine in the eyes of the spectators. 

This was helpful from the direct breaths of the Python. "I thought that it would be another round of mass killing or the mystery task in the second seal however the things are chaotic. How we are going to fight with our fate?" Albert remembered the words from the first clue. 

Their fate could dope their success. It was such ridiculous concept in the game portal however they were actually treading through and seeing the difference. For a player it was always welcoming and challenging to meet the new kind of game settings. 

After all they were the biggest explorers of the dangers. "Dude we have been fighting with the bosses, this fate is nothing in front of us. Let's see and crush it under the feet." Clark chuckled. 

There were signs of the poison breaths working on them. Jake was trying to see the difference. He used up all three clue for today and the rest of time he was supposed to wreak his brain for the right actions. 

"Is there a way to cross the seal with some task?" Sashi asked. Though completely task was blind acquisition however it worth in the end. With the few recent tasks and their outcome it was more than clear that tasks were better than the blunt battles. 

Jake did not receive any task from the system and it was apparent that the task was not necessary to cross this seal. There were several thousand ogres and creatures in the second seal. Some of them were shining with single dot. 

Junan was critically observing them in order to understand the difference. The small source dim light was helpful in making the difference between them. Not all of them were emitting such single dot of light. 

However the numbers were in few thousands and they were mixed up with the other ogres and the creatures. It would have been best mass kill if not the gusts of the breaths. 

This increased their worry. "The ogres with the dots should be killed in order to cross the seal." Junan spoke up his theory. "They are strange and staying away while the normal ogres are nearing us sometimes to scare." He continued and kept looking them. 

Team members focused their attention toward the ogres and noticed. There was no more doubt that the task was in front of them screaming to get their attention. 

"So we should wave the weapons and mass kill. If possible then the specific ogres should the target." Albert tolled in his opinion. "The shield has the capacity to stand against the direct winds. If anyone feeling their hp dropping fast then they could come under the shield." He suggested. 

Presently it was not bigger fall in the hp. They could rush ahead and do the task. They were agreed to mass kill and filter out the specific ogres with some strategy. It was huge task to just rush forward and kill. They would not be able to get rid half of them in the twenty four hours. 

The total time was left twenty two hours only. (The spectators were awe struck at the difficulty and the limited time. They were anticipating this third team would also become looser. In the presence of several thousand ogres it was utterly impossible to break the seal.)

(The organizers announced the date for the second level of the game portal. Two teams were already selected and for the third team they were waiting whether this team could make out from the first level)

(The spectators wished that this third team should give up. They wanted them to reach second level because most of them liked the way this team collaborated in all situations and the dangers.)

The situation was tense. It increased the overall temperature of the game portal as well as the spectator servers. Junan killed the first ogre with the specific dot and it brought series of troubles. 

He thought that it would go smooth however normal ogres jumped at him like evil creatures. Their anger amplified because Junan killed the marked ogre that was the passageway for the second seal. 

These specific ogres were actually under the protection of normal ogres. Even if the team members killed half of marked ogres the second seal would break in half. It could potentially let them ignore others and let them sprint from the seal. 

Half broken seal meant open passageway for tea members to easily enter in the hidden place of the Python. It also meant that the thundering clouds would also decrease and the darkness would reduce.. It would diminish the problems of the team members.
