The Player's System

Eyeless Serpent 

With the help of all available weapons, they were clearing second placement. The over smart ogres were stomped because of the collaboration of the players. As Junan finished off the last poison creature, the door flung open and the weapon stick broke which was hung in the knob. 

"Another party is waiting us." Hammer boy walked near the unbolted door and stepped back. He was stunned by the aggressive moods of the ogres present in the first placement. They were no more in doubt that the players might not be able to clear the other two placements. 

The time the team took in killing ogres in the third and second placement, they were able to wake up the eyeless serpent. The eyeless serpent stood among the other ogres. The mouth was opened ajar and sensing the surrounding with the help of poison duct, it was type of vessel that has the characteristics to filter the movements of the living beings and let know the eyeless serpent about the details of them. 

The mouth was as normal as the serpent however the eye part was flat instead the vessel in the middle of the head quavered in search of living targets. "I am impressed with the tasteless developers of this game portal. They worked few of the NPC's. Look at this bossy serpent; it is covering half of the placement with its presence." Junan commented first.  

From his tone it was difficult to tell whether he was admiring the development or he was worried for the level one. The team members were twitching actually. The ogres were already big headache and now their boss showed up. They had faced the ogres breathing poison to stifle their breath. 

To see the eyeless serpent, they were anticipating the possible difficulty ahead. "Do not stand still, we have lot work to go through. A shield is necessary if we wanted to enter the first placement and the player with the shield is not present here." Junan shook his head. 

Sashi looked away where the younger player was standing with the support of the kitchen slab. "Jake Lin has single shield, can we try it?" their eyes fell at the young player and the team head nodded. "No matter if it is single, it is still a shield." Junan commented. "Someone else should take his place and send him here." Junan gestured Sashi to follow his orders. 

In all other games they played until now, the players could rob the weapons of other players and use them if necessary. Here in this game, several situations stuck their choices. Jake listened to the girl and walked toward the team head. "Hold this shield of yours and let the team members enter in the first placement. You do not need to act worried; I will be alert to save your life." Junan patted his shoulder. 

Jake understood why it was necessary. The team members were standing in the second placement while the eyeless serpent and its 'true believers' were present in the first placement. Apparently they seemed less interested to attack the players in the second placement or they were restricted in the first placement. Whatever the reason stuck them, the team was oblige to clear the first placement. 

And it was impossible without killing eyeless serpent and its ogres. Jake held the shield and walked toward the door. Junan walked right behind with the sword ready to attack in case the ogres tried to ambush. The other team members took some precautions and followed suit. Surprisingly the ogres and the eyeless serpent were patiently standing as if welcoming the players 'without red carpet' 

As soon as the last player entered in the first placement, the door shut itself. Hammer boy got worried because the Sashi was still near the window. Junan also twitched. He gestured the Hammer boy to do his part. It was tense situation. The eyeless serpent was not ordering the ogres to attack. 

It brought sense of threat. The four serpents took the charge to kill the players separately. The Cobra Lord was very displeased to see the advancement of the team members toward the Second Heart. The four serpents came up with the plan discretely surround one by one all players. 

With the limited use of their weapons, a single player would be helpless against the number of enemies. The Cobra Lord approved this plan and the first serpent showed up in the cottage. This cottage was the hidden place of the first serpent however it did not want to appear in front of the players initially. 

Now that it was necessary to reduce the number of the team members, the ogres were sharp more than ever. The Hammer Boy hammered on the door. It was worn out door however the hammering did not bring enough of damage. Junan secretly noticed and gasped. It seemed they were surrounded. 

This made him think about the two players those he left for the entrance of the cottage. He was seriously worried about his team. "All of you, reduce the damn population of this eyeless serpent's 'believers' and let's see what is awaiting us" Junan gritted his teeth and ordered strictly. 

Standing silent and waiting for the eyeless serpent was no more in option. Junan wanted to know what was going at the other side of the door. The Hammer Boy used all his strength using his weapon and slight crevice appeared on the worn out wooden door. 

Seeing this Junan was more than ever fueled. The team members saw his enthusiasm and did not hold back. There was chaos in the first placement as soon as all players attacked with all available weapons. The eyeless serpent released the poison smoke seeing the situation. 

The first and foremost priority was to kill at least one or two players in the cottage. It would help increase the chances of defeating these smart players and wipe out the team in the end. Two team members were alive from other two teams yet in worst condition and asking for in-game death to happen however it was slow death to the point of desperation.
