Rioneed: VRMMORPG

Chapter 440: Vol 10: Strange Voices in Oya's Head

Oya knew Ruliv had guessed it right, and she wasn't surprised by that. Anyone in a position like his would be special, she stayed silent for couple of moments before asking:

"I want to gain access to materials that can be used in my game world, but not too high in rank so they won't attract any unneeded attention. Do you have anything to suggest for me?"

"Well, it's a strange thing for you to be this cautious while Ibro wasn't," he commented.

"No one is like Ibro, he had his trust in dealing with any threat no matter how dangerous it is," Oya said in a melancholic tone, "So, can you help me out in that?"

"Sure I can, although it would take some time to do it. if the gold coins can be transferred between game worlds, then it would be easier for me to transform the gold you need, but the game prevents us from doing so," Ruliv said.

"Strange, why so?" Oya asked with interest as she didn't believe the game cared about economical issues like this.

"I don't know, and no one knows. Anyway, give us two weeks and when you return again you will find a special surprise for you, and ofcourse this all will be counted in the agreement I had with Ibro from before," he said. 

Oya didn't know why but she felt this man was cunning more than the kind nature he showed on the face, but she had no other choice except shaking her hands with him with a big smile while saying:

"I have no problem, I will come back two weeks from now."

She then took out a return scroll to Ihnasia city and tore it. she disappeared to reappear at the main square of Ihnasia, the scene was somehow desolate, but she knew this would change a couple days from now. 

She then went to a nearby restaurant and sat there enjoying the good view. Eating wasn't mandatory in all the VR games, Rioneed included, but it was an act that made players feel like home. 

She sat there on the top floor of the restaurant that overlooked the main square of the city. She ordered the cheapest meal here, as she wasn't here to eat but to enjoy the view. If she came any time later, she wouldn't be treated this nice, as she was now the first and only customer to the place.

'I now solved the gold problem, hopefully Ruliv wasn't as arrogant as any city governor should be. The only thing remaining now is the players, I have two weeks to get ready, so I better invite everyone.'

Oys then stayed there for approximately two hours, during which she ate twice and paid 5 gold coins at the end, she also managed to send invitations to all the players she had ties with. 

Although she was a very famous player, not all professional heptian players could be trusted, or at least they couldn't be called close friends with her. Her list wasn't that long, as she put many conditions for those she called. 

She intended to bring them into the Apidon world, which made her put many restraints over those she selected. They must be cool headed and close mouthed, or else any secret she knew would be jeopardized by any of them. 

After she finished, she decided to move out to level up, as her level was still at level 10 so far. Just as she was about to leave the square heading towards the nearest city gate, she felt a severe headache in her head, so severe that she even felt dizzy and couldn't stand properly. 

She didn't know where that came from, but she could see vague images inside her mind. This wasn't the first time to feel so, but the headache this time was unbearable. She stayed on the ground for some time, during which she couldn't think properly. 

It was her luck to be alone so far in the city, if there was any enemy nearby, she would be dead in a second. After a few moments, this bizarre accident vanished, and her mind regained its clarity. 

Just as she was about to stand up, she heard a faint, very weak voice that said she could have missed it if there was noise beside her. The voice was very easy to recognize, as it was her own voice whispering:

'Seek the blacksmith lifestyle class, don't seek adventure class now.'

The sound disappeared once she reached the end of the line, but her mind kept repeating this sentence over and over again. she felt like she was losing her mind, so she didn't take these words seriously, instead she thought about leveling up out there all alone. 

If she was engaged in a fight with a monster and something like this happened, she would lose her life no doubt, so she hesitated about going outside.

'What should I do in this empty city all alone?'

She muttered this to herself as she felt confused, lost, and weak. She sat on the side of the road as she tried to figure what she would do now.

'Seek the blacksmith lifestyle class, don't seek adventure class now.'

Suddenly the same voice of hers whispered softly in her mind without any notice. It freaked her out even though she stood from her place and glanced all around her in caution.

"Damn it, whoever is playing this little cheap trick over me must stop. Show yourself cowardly."

She got nothing but the suspicious looks from the scarce NPCs walking in this square. She got hold of herself again after some time, but her fear inside her didn't vanish, neither did the doubt. 

What made her even more disturbed was these words came with her own voice, who would record her voice and manipulate it like this? As far as she knew there was nothing in any game she played that could do so.

'This game is getting weirder and weirder,' she muttered as she started to consider her destination. an idiot could judge that she wasn't in a state of mind to participate in any fight, so she decided to take a stroll over the city and think over the matter again calmly.
