The Gamer's System

Chapter 129: Meeting

PLEASE READ! I Accidentally published this one before the chapter that was actually supposed to come next. In order to avoid confusion, please read the next chapter before this one. Thank you and sorryyyyy.

The meeting room of Zeke's hideout was a lot bigger than the meeting hall of the elites back in the farm. It looked a lot like one of those corporate meeting rooms back on earth, with clear tiles on the ground, proper lighting, walls that were colored washout white. Plants were also placed all around to lighten up the atmosphere and give that cool feeling on the place.

In the middle is a large table which could actually be made bigger or smaller. It had a custom design that allowed parts of it to retract or extend. The chairs are as comfortable as gaming ones with a supporter for the neck, back and the head. Adding to the features was a soft cushioning bottom that felt like it could swallow someone's' ass as soon as he or she sits.

The elites were already seated and, ready for the meeting which was about to begin. In front, Zeke stood; opening another [Gamer's System Window] for everyone to see. In the middle of the table, there was a crystal which served as a way for the screen to enlarge. As soon as Zeke gave the signal, Heron closed the lights, signaling the beginning of their meeting. The elites were all given crystals that would glow whenever they use mana and, this would be used in the meeting whenever they wanted to ask something.

"Okay. First of all, I want you to know that you won't be going back to the farm anymore. I know that you guys haven't said your proper farewells to the people there but, trust me when I say that this is for the best." Zeke said to the group.

"The less they know of you, the better. Glade's men aren't known for being merciful during interrogation and, they may even kill one or two citizens in the process. But once they finally get that the villagers do not know a thing, they'd move out." He continued, with one crystal glowing.

"Yes, speak up."

"So you're saying that we should just let those one or two citizens die? They need our help, we should go back there and.."

"And what? Waste away trying to defend a small number of people against a greater evil? Sacrifices need to be made in order for us to advance. And to ensure the safety of your own kind, I suggest you do as I say." Zeke said sternly, making the voice die out immediately.

"Anyway, I left enough healing materials for them. There are healing herbs and crystals and, those should be enough to heal even someone on the verge of dying." Heron smiled at this remark of Zeke. She knew that it wouldn't end there. No matter how cold Zeke wanted to be, he was actually a very compassionate and warmhearted person.

"Let's move on shall we?" Zeke said, without any complaints from the group.

"I want to congratulate you all for your latest accomplishment. There aren't that many who can handle that many soldiers no matter how strong they may be. It was due to proper utilization of skills and tactics that you got out of it and, that just means I can rest easy when giving you missions of higher difficulty."

For some reason, a few elites got proud of Zeke saying this. It was as if they were being handed golden medals for the first time in their lives and, this isn't any normal medal but something won from war. Jake himself, someone who was well known in the world of sports, got proud of this achievement, huffing and puffing heavily in agreement with Zeke.

"Moving on. Now that your levels have risen, I'll be handing out stronger weapons to all of you. If my guess is correct, a secondary job class should be available for all of you now and, this one is not within the powers of the three Main Deities. So, I suggest you chose well based on two things."

"The first is survivability. No matter how well coordinate you are, there would always be a chance for the enemies to single you out. So you need a job class that'll allow you to escape, survive long enough for backup to arrive, or fend for yourself. But I suggest you get one which could offer all of these."

"Sir how about us healers?" Red asked, thinking that there's not much a healer can do when it came to fighting.

"That's a no brainer kid. Get a job class that allows you to attack in mid-range. With your primary healer skills, you can simply continue regenerating throughout the fight and that means, no matter how bad you are with weapons, you won't be dying anytime soon." Zeke said in reply.

"As for the second, you need to make sure that your job class is still compatible with the group. As a team you should always remember that you are a single unit."

"I want you to get all those biases that exists within our own world out of your heads. Think of anything. Be creative and I will supply the necessary equipment for you." Zeke furthered, finally finishing the part about the raid.

"If there is no other question, I'd like to move on to other matters."

Zeke began explaining everything he did within the same span of time. Beginning from how he raided the three fortresses housing the communication crystals and, this shocked the group of course because, Zeke also informed them that the generals there were as strong as the ones faced by the elites.

Quinn couldn't help but laugh, seeing how large the gap is between him and the gamer. Yet, nobody tried to disprove Zeke because they knew that there was no merit in lying during these times and, that Zeke was really a person capable of doing all this.

"With that being said, the normal means of communication used within the continent is now disabled. This means that whatever we do won't be immediately broadcasted all over the continent and, if we execute things perfectly enough, we may even be able to hinder all communications." Zeke began and, remembered to add one more thing.

"The only thing that'll work now is our voice chat, no more no less." Zeke said with another crystal lighting up from the crowd. This time it was Kaguya.

"Won't that cause more trouble because ethe government will be more vigilant?" Kaguya said, referring to the first thing Zek mentioned about the communication channels.

"Well, yes that is one of the possible effects. But another thing is that, they won't be able to send any message to both Glade and the other continents. Meaning, everything that happens on the Demon Continent from this point onwards will be kept in secret." Then another crystal lit up.

"But what about physical forces? They could still teleport out of the continent or travel through land, sky and sea right?" Merlin asked.

"Well that is true. To be honest, there are three modes of transportation for these people. Underground, Sea, and Sky. All of which are problematic but, I already have something in store for them." Zeke said.

"For the underground enemies, I have continually poured out mana on this land, so much so that, after a few years, there is now a thin layer of mana under the surface of the demon continent." Zeke said, getting another response from the elites which he entertained.

"How come they never noticed that?"

"That's because, as I've said, it's a thin layer of mana. In fact, if you could see it, the layer is as thin as a single sheet of paper. Hence, there was never any noticeable difference on the land as I did this." This satisfied the query of Horus which led Zeke to further discussing the details regarding this.

"A trigger will activate once someone reaches a certain depth within the earth, getting a whiff of my [Chaos Poison] which should be enough to kill them in a few minutes." Zeke continued, getting another crystal again.

"What about the aerial and sea forces?"

"Oh I'll leave those guys to your care. One mage, one archer, and one defender. You guys will be in charge of taking down anyone that tries getting out of the continent. There won't be that many because they'd want to move as secretly and as swiftly as possible." Zeke began, showing something on the [System Screen].

"I already placed crystals on all the highest peaks of the continent. You can teleport to these areas immediately without any problems. The crystals also continually release shrouding and cloaking mana to ensure your safety. Once the mission starts, I will be enveloping the whole continent's seas and skies with my mana, enabling you to trace any movement on your [Minimap]. This would greatly weaken me but, that's fine because I know you guys can fight in my stead." Zeke furthered, finally stating one of the higher reasons as to why he got the elites on his side.

By himself, it would've ben impossible to push through with this mission. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't simply cover a whole continent all by himself and, he surely couldn't cover four continents at the same time. No matter how hard Zeke tried to think about it before, there was no choice but to get reinforcements and, that is the reason why he also trained both Heron and Morpheus. While Zeke disclosed this, another concern was voiced out, with another crystal glowing within the room.

"But won't there be someone going to King Glade by this time?"

"Don't be silly. As I mentioned, they won't report this to the king and, now that the situation has worsened, they have no other choice but to handle things themselves. Oh and, by the way, I also destroyed the stronghold within the portal area." Zeke said casually, as if the feat was not a big deal. And then another crystal glowed.

"Are you sure you are still human sir?"

"That's actually outside our concerns. Technically I am already an elf but, yeah, I am as mortal as any of you are." Zeke said in reply.

"Anyway, there are other things connected to what I just said. First of all, I was able to analyze the [Chaos Dragons] up close an personal and, this is the data I got."

The window showed the structure of the dragons. The elites were all amazed at how detailed the report was, mentioning everything up to the scale composition of the [Chaos Dragons]. Then there were the more measurable data which were the attribute points and their skill set. All of which made the elites feel terror.

"Sir am I seeing right? Their rank is A+?" Lizzie asked, forgetting to make the crystal glow.

"Hmm light the crystal first dearie." Zeke said, not wanting any exception to the rule and, as soon as Lizzie did, Zeke proceeded to explaining.

What you see is what it is. Those [Chaos Dragons] are ranked [A+] and, not just this; they are actually evolved [A+] creatures which means that they're really bad news for us. Zeke furthered, making matters even mor grave than it actually is.

"On every continent, there are at least ten of these bad boys and, the [Count] of each continent is just as strong as these are. So that's also something to watch out for." Another crystal lit up.

"So are you saying that we're committing suicide now?" Jake asked.

"Don't be silly kid. I won't be sending you to your deaths. Not on my watch at least." Zeke snapped his fingers and, the screen changed to the personal data of all the elites.

"With the improved equipment I'll be making and, the job advancements that you would take, I'd be able to make you strong enough to beat thembarely."

"That last part made everything else sound less convincing." Quinn said in reply

"Well I can't expect you to believe that you could simply overpower [Chaos Dragons] right?" Zeke immediately defended.

"But here's the thing. If you coordinate your skills well and, do as I instruct, I guarantee that we'll be able to finish this mission in one piece. None of you would die under my command." Zeke said sternly, making the group nod in agreement.

There was still the part about Zeke meeting Sylph but, he decided that this should be left for later. For the moment, the group needed to have more rest and, restore their energies back to full. They need to choose their job classes and, Zeke needed to make equipment accordingly. And after all of this is done and dealt with, they would proceed to the final battle on the Demon Continent.

"We will overthrow the government, destroy all portal crystals and, restore the balance within this land upon the given span of time. Is there anything else you'd like to add?" Zeke said, getting one final crystal glow which is then from Mirio.

"How long do we have in order to accomplish all this exactly?" Zeke smiled at the question and, answered quickly and truthfully.

"Six days."
