The Player's System

Second Secret

Princess Mala was born with half magic distinctive. With her half magic ability she created first three lairs of the security. After the altar got destroyed her life was in danger.

Only King was aware about this fact. Third team was constantly advancing toward the main palace. Princess Mala might fell in the comma of sadness as soon as the pool of dead dissolved.

It was based on the premonition if the third team happened to know all three secrets of the pool of dead. The pool of dead was solely created with her magic power. The unbalance of the magic would turn the prophecy in real.

For this king spread false rumors among the natives. Her comma of sadness was the end of her life however there was third secret which no one knew. As soon as the secret would come out princess Mala would also dissolve in the air.

It was the fall of evening when the first secret disclosed. At that time princess Mala was opening the gates of the Itaten Farm. She felt the strong impact.

Fortunately she forced herself to open the Itaten farm and the carriage of the king entered in the Mala City. Though she opened the gates but could not close them and stood erected at the gate.

…

At the same time Ahram threw dead human on his shoulders and started running. Junan provided cover. The dead humans standing in the row shook the walls. They seemed pasted their backs with the walls. Their feet dug out the ground along in order to stop the players.

Jake was also running. He was leading. Those dead humans walked in front one step at a time. "They seemed lazy." Jake commented and fired. The first dead human staggered even so the bullet did not stop him.

"Hah they are immortals with no life?" Ahram saw this and chuckled. He was running the same path which they hell knew how many times walked past earlier.

Previously erected walls were changing positions or perhaps they did not bother to create illusion. These walls were no more restricting actually. The path did not stop where usually ended.

Junan attacked whoever tried to reach near. The big feet were dragging the ground along with them. "I never knew big feet were heavyweight champions. They should battle for the gold medals instead of rotting here among the walls." Junan chuckled.

He was quite amazed as to how these dead's came alive or perhaps they were still dead. They wanted to get the spy back. Probably the dead heard his mocking tone. The nearest dead human smashed his feet on the ground.

The ground shook making team head stagger. "So I offended you. You could hear but you pretended otherwise. Do you know what it calls? You were trying to deceive and I hate deception. Since you created deception I will not spare you." Junan attacked. He thought that sword would hit the big but it only clung with the bones.

Junan turned speechless. The apparent clothing made them look like they were living human while they were actually skeletons. Skeletons were wearing clothes with perfect measures.

The face was not bonny. It was troublesome for him. The sword fought the bones and the dead human kept the pace without halting or staggering.

The restrictions of the pool of dead were breaking because Kina was taken away. Almost all riddles of the pool of dead appeared in the complete form. The players could see some formation in the surrounding.

"I can see them." Jake spoke. His eyes fell at Albert he was listening the tremors from the ground. These tremors were caused by the walking dead. Albert also saw them.

The book of detection did not give any clue. They were tapping on the walls and the ground to see if they could find hidden gate. His first reaction was profound.

"They found us." Albert informed others. Jake was firing bullets in order to keep the dead's at distance. Soon they would search some way to stop them chasing behind or dug them under the ground. With this thought his eyes sparkled. Jake did not shake away the possibility to bury these walking dead.

In fact this could reduce their burden. Kina could only see while Mockers could hear. The task area was spreading due to Kina being stolen.

Five team members standing at the other side felt that the restriction of the ground was no more there. They also entered the second part.

Stealing Kina helped them break restriction however they were still confined. All those who ended in pool of dead became part of it one from the dead's. Princess Mala was waiting for the limited time to end up earlier.

She was aware that the normal profession might not decode the secrets. Only genius could solve the mystery behind the pool of dead. As soon as someone found out the second secret the pool of dead would dissolve.

Currently half of the time wasted away due to the players taking it slow pace. Jake saw that the mockers were trying to block their path. He looked at Ahram and spoke, "You can bind this dead and drag."

This wild idea suddenly stuck him. Dragging the dead behind would not harm him however it would save them from the direct chase of the dead humans.

Ahram chained the spy and started dragging behind. It was easier than to keep the dead on the shoulder. Junan no more attacked with sword.

This dragging was unexpected. The dead humans suddenly stopped. After few moments they formed in strange formation. This formation did not restrict the ground instead they seemed stone's statues.

The players did not understand initially. They were glad that dead were no more moving however they realized that they could not leave the pool of dead.

It took much time however there was no single gate for escape not even hidden path. The walls were high and climbing was almost impossible. The flat walls could not provide any midway.

Those who tried to climb wall fell face down especially the five team members of the other team.

Team head Junan stopped the search. He was sure that fighting or escaping was not in question in this situation.

Orin opened the book of detection. He did not count how many times he opened it in hope to read the text be it written with red ink or golden.

For his disappointment the page was blank. His professional tool might not help. "My head is aching. Why these dead are silent? They should attack us so we can battle and defeat them." He spoke dejected.

He liked simple battle scenario where the enemies were no more hidden. "Simple solution. You should dig out the ground and throw the dead inside it. We might see some changes in the surrounding." Jake shook his shoulders and spoke very lively.

He wanted to attempt various methods to see the difference. He stole spy Kina but the further path was blank. His words captured the attention. "Kid if you are joking around or seriously stating I do not care. I will do it to see what happened." Orin immediately started digging ground.

Jake did not know that Orin would take his words seriously. Others were trying to figure out the reason behind new restriction. Orin painstakingly dug deep hole then went to drag the dead. For his surprise he was unable to move it an inch much less to drag in the hole.

He clasped from the left side then circled. The clothes ended in his hands which made him embarrass. The naked skeleton was no way preferable to look at.

Orin hurriedly covered the skeleton and sat near it feet. His effort wasted away. Jake understood that normal methods might not work for this task. Team members were efficient in the battles.

This tranquil place was not for their taste. Apparently digging ground I not bring changes however princess Mala was dropping red tears. As soon as Orin stopped digging the spy stopped red tears. Jake was felt something odd. No one noticed because Kina was on the ground with face down.

Jake came toward the spy he wanted to take a closer look. This dead was different. Others became stone like while this one was same. Jake easily flipped and saw the red ground.

He immediately looked the face of the dead. The eyes were tainted with the red tears. Jake was shocked. He called team head in order to solve the problem.

From the time Ahram dragged here everything was fine. The team members did not noting except Orin. Orin was digging ground and others were silently calculating his actions.

The enemy team was also hiding at the distance. Jake pointed the skeleton, "It cried red tears but what made him cry?" though he was questioning however his brain was working faster comparing what happened in the previous few moments.

None of the detail caught his attention other than the digging of the ground.
