The Player's System

Lazy dog

"Holy crap." Sashi rolled to avoid the impact of the blast. She was speechless to see that Ahram played trick on her. After seeing that retainers were unable to drag their dead bodies she heaved silently.

At least it saved her from chase. "Next time I should be more careful about you. What server of the 'Sovereign Rulers' you used to play?" she asked with curiosity.

All of them belonged to the different servers of the same game. Before this game portal they perhaps heard their names once or twice because of some new records in the game or collecting some reputation because of quests but they never personally contacted to know each other.

Same goes with others. They were unfamiliar. "I am from Abla Regional Server. By the way I intend to kill the retainers not to harm you. I was confident that you can tackle it. There was no time to inform you prior." Ahram scratched his hair and spoke.

He was slightly embarrassed but there was no other way in this situation. "Ah you belong that horrible server. Now I know why you tricked. I happened to search the battle methods of the server toppers once. You are perhaps that rumored 'Witch Hunter'?" Sashi was more interested to know about this fellow player.

It was due to the reason that he belonged to the infamous server. Well not infamous for something rude instead unique capability of the players for using unfamiliar methods of the players.

She never thought that one day she would meet personally someone from the same server. Ahram was hesitant at her question. He was indeed that rumored player however he was too shy to talk with the female players.

He always thought that female gamers hate those approach them for no reason and annoy. "I did not choose that username actually. My mom made this gaming account for me to spend my spare time. She did not like the way I was invested in the study only." Ahram explained the story behind his username.

The two retainers that were trying to drag toward the girl and capture her were unable to maintain their life. They heard the casual conversation and wanted to curse.

"Interesting! So your mum gave you this name? Who would have thought about it? Next time I will keep in mind to stay alert when it is you guiding." She pleasantly smiled and hurried to reach the team head.

Ahram foolishly smiled as if he was much surprised at her reaction after knowing his identity. Junan might have admonished Ahram for this risky action however seeing that she was fine he did not say anything.

Ahram was not careless. He was in fact ready to use his chain and bring her in case she could not make it on time. Sashi did not mind in fact. She was quite impressed because she knew that he would not let her under the damage range.

These particular streets were no more threatening. They could walk around. Ahram confirmed after some time. He could not spot any retainer wandering to search them.

Junan was curious where did the other three were gone. "Those lazy dogs are somewhere stuck. How we would know their place?" Junan voiced in his signature tone.

He knew that two were definitely lazy dogs but Albert was different. He was quite focused. "I should go and take a look?" Ahram asked.

"No we will move around and see if they coming sooner than search. Till then we can find the short path for the next wing. I guess they caught few and started battling instead of bringing around." Junan sighed.

Jake led them at the front of every door. None of them matched with the difference of the door. "Ahram go and take a look where they are currently." Junan saw that it was taking time and ordered.

Ahram left to search other three team members.

…

Two team members of the ruined teams were stuck in the same wing. They were unable to leave instead happened to see three team members of the opponent team.

They were already annoyed at their circumstances and the way they were betrayed by the Book of Detection. Seeing opponent team members they thought to follow behind. Mix of intentions were running in their empty heads.

First they wanted to challenge for duel and vent out frustration then they want to spoil their day by interrupting their pace when battling with the retainers.

Albert and others caught two retainers however when they were bringing them by tricks the opponent team members appeared. They found it perfect time to interrupt.

Albert, Orin and Clark were seriously distracted to see the opponents. The retainers were initially shocked that perhaps complete team gathered at one place again however knowing that two were willing to battle with other three.

It changed the scenario. The strange battle started where Runners were fighting with the runners and the retainers were taking advantage. Albert decided to not waste time and energy.

"We are already incomplete team and possibly cannot cross level. So you can guess our intentions. We will help retainers to capture you." The one spoke with evil flickering in his eyes.

"I know you scum just wait and see. We will slap you before leaving." Albert kept moving in action in order to keep the retainer stay away. They were trying to give attack.

The situation was not in the favor. The retainers could use skills while the opponent could use profession. They were stuck in between.

Albert gestured others for escape. This was best for now. The retainers were bigger threat because their bastard swords could leave double damage.

It would not sit well with the circumstances. The opponents might also attack knowing that they were surrounded and washed up.

Junan once strictly ordered them to escape in case they could not battle alone. Albert pretended that he was going to attack retainer instead Orin used his mace attack from behind.

It was pretty risky.
