The King's Mandate: Anomalous System

Chapter 34: At The Entrance Of The Labyrinth.

We were teleported in front of the entrance of the labyrinth of Shamash. I didn't see Elena and the others anywhere.

"Where are they?"

There are so many players--

[Adas, make sure to hold back.]

"Yeah, don't worry."

I don't think Elena will let me fight.

"If you hold us back, we will kick you out of the party."

Some players were talking as they passed by me. Three boys and four girls. They are picking on the 4th girl.

"If you did the same thing you did yesterday, then we will push you in front of the monsters." one of the girls said.

"I won't do that again, so please don't kick me out."

"You better protect us when monsters attack us." one of the boys said.

"I will."

"You are just a meat shield; if any of us die,, then see what we will do to you in the school tomorrow."

"I understand."

Is this bullying? Even in the game, there are these types of people.

"He,y Adas, where; I Reina?"

"Rikka! I don't know; I can't find her."

"She will be around here, don't worry."

"Where is Ricky?"

"I am looking for him."

"I see."

"What's wrong?"

"I just saw some players bullying a girl, but they are gone now."

"Yeah, it happens a lot."

How can you be so calm? Whenever I witness bullying, it reminds me of...

"What's wrong?" Rikka asked.

"No...I was just wondering how many players are here."

"Let's see, there are not many players today, about 500 maybe."

"There are more players, usually?"

"The maximum player limit is 1000 players."

"Even though high-level three raids every Monday?"

"Yes, and the high-level players don't participate in raids."

"I see."

"But there are two more worlds, or some call it floors that are for high-level players."

"Same as this world?"

"Yeah, there are currently three worlds in this game."

"So they have raids on that world?"

"Yeah, the monsters are strong, though."

"Have you ever been in world 2 or world 3?"

"To access world two, you need to be level 40 or above, so we haven't yet, but Reina did go there one time."

"Only once?"

"Yeah, every time we asked her why she is not going to world 2, she told us 'Shut up' and ended the topic."

"She must have felt lonely."

"She can be awkward, but she is a good girl."

"I know."

"Hey, are you at a party?" Two girls approached me.

"Yes, I am."

"Great, can we join your party?"

Huh? Do they want to join our party? But...

"I am not a leader, so I shouldn't---"

"Only for the raid, right?" Rikka asked.

Huh?

"Yes, temporary members."

Huh?

"Okay, sure, you can join us."

"Wait, what do you mean by a temporary member?"

"They will join our party for this raid."

"Only for this raid?"

"Their score will also add up; it's a mutual benefit."

"You are smart." the girls said.

"But is this allowed?"

"Of course."

"Is it okay to agree without asking Reina?"

"Who cares?"

Well, you should care.

"Hey Biana, this guy looks hot, but he is insulting."

"You are right Robna, is this what they call 'Don't judge a book by its cover'?"

I can hear from you.

"Hey Adas, finally found...you, who are these girls?" Elena pulled me back as she said that.

"They want to join our party for the raid," Rikka said.

"Is that so? Which level are you?"

"I am level 48, and Biana is level 49."

"You are very welcome to join our party."

My girlfriend is greedy. Elena added both girls to the party.

[2 Minutes Left for the raid]

There are only 2 minutes left, and we still haven't met Ricky.

"Where is your husband?" Elena asked.

"There he is."

I saw Ricky walking towards us and...

"Hey, he is talking with some girl, Rikka," Elena said.

"I can see that."

"He is cheating on you."

Talking with other girls counts as cheating?

"He is no; that girl is..."

This girl is so familiar, where have I seen her...before. No, it can't be; she looks like Miss Serah! I am overthinking, just because Miss Serah likes games and anime doesn't mean she will play a VR game. Yeah, I am thinking too--

"Oh, it's Miss Serah," Elena said.

I decided to stop thinking.

"He,y Adas, why do you look so shocked?" Ricky asked.

"Adas? Who is...hey are you, Das Ryle?" she asked.

"You got the wrong person."

She pulled me and hugged me. Soft...

"Hey, don't touch him!" Elena pulled me back.

"So he is Das after all."

"Miss, why did you do that?"

"It's my personal Das checker."

Das checker?

"Miss..."

Elena sounds very angry; it will be bad if she starts a stir here. I need to stop her before she--

"Miss Serah, how are you feeling today?" Elena asked.

Huh?

"I am fine."

"Do you need anything? II will help you."

Huh?

"No, thanks."

"Should I hold your sword?"

Huh?

"No need."

"Hey, Ricky, who is this girl?"; she

"It's your girlfriend."

My girlfriend doesn't talk sweetly with anyone other than my mother, she was so rude to Miss Serah yesterday, so why is she--

"You want me to join your party for the raid, right?"

"I will be very grateful if you can do that."

Seriously, who is this girl?
