The Player's System

Retainer Altar

Five hostages were kept in the Altar. Two of their team members were trying to barge in and set them free. The altar was square house temporarily chosen to capture the enemies.

After the commotion die down they will be thrown in the pool of dead. Pool of Dead was created to throw all those enemies that go against the king or revolt in any way.

Rarely any enemy came alive and crawled out from the pool of dead. They were taken as dead. The preparations for the third palace were in the middle.

The retainers were working faster. They were supposed to capture arena runners before the first caravan of guests arrived in the Mala city. Till the end of present day they should complete the task.

On the other hand third team was also doing the same just that they were dumping the retainers. They spotted two retainers dragging dead body of a player.

Junan recognized the player and gestured his team members to remain hidden. "We should check where they are heading. It might give us clue. Perhaps they are capturing all teams. Now I understand somehow. They are definitely going to become bone in the throat. After knowing their hiding place, we might attack there." Junan spoke out his intentions.

"I am amazed that the people are acting as if they don't mind. Perhaps it is the order of the king. If my theory is not wrong then we are probably wanted by the king. Does he know our task? Shet.. What life of game? Certainly he knows about our task." Clark was immensely shocked after this revelation.

It would increase their troubles because king would use all means to capture them or kill them. They were on the hit list this way. "You caught it right. We are wanted just that king is ready to kill us silently." Junan agreed.

With the clue of the book of detection and the words of the shopkeeper they were no more in the dark. Other team members heard and understood the severity of their task. The responsibility was bigger and the predicaments would be biggest.

"This means all retainers should be killed so that few enemies should decrease from the list." Sashi added. She was confident that the king must have several types of security providers to stop the enemies. After all it was matter of Feast.

"It is indeed true. Though they are stronger however we are at second level. Our professions also received boost and we have some relevant options for usage." Junan reminded them to look after the available choices.

They decided to finally take a look at the type of their profession and get acquainted with it. Initially they were annoyed with the settings and the restrictions of the game portal. They were relying on the weapons and their blunt use.

Now that team head wanted them to seriously invest their attention toward the professions they were curious as to what benefits it could bring for them.

Jake checked. His profession was shameful. He was supposed thief and preferably he should steal according to his profession. He was earlier much dissatisfied however after knowing that system wanted him to become bigger thief he was thinking ways to increase his dexterity in the stealing.

The question was how to learn this profession. He was currently level one thief and there was some item unlocked in the inventory at the side bar of interface.

Jake clicked on it. It was lock picking tool. He was feeling odd to get this tool after so long battles with the number of creatures. His older sister told him that stealing was bad. In the game portal he was given lowest profession of thief, what other choice he could ask for?

He was speechless however he was determined to use it whenever it needed. Others also got sub-category options according to their profession.

They were not feeling down because of unfamiliar tools or the strange offers. In fact this let them understand the difference of their profession and how expertly they could use options.

The professions were meant to prepare them individually. Each profession was necessary in the advancement of most tasks. Without learning their professions they might fell under the hands of circumstances in the upcoming levels.

"I have some doubt." Ahram spoke just when they were ready to chase behind the retainers. They looked at him and Junan nodded. "Ask away. It might explain something important."

"If the retainers are in number then it might be dangerous to reach near their placement. There is possibility that they surround us or we fell in their trap. We should increase our pace and kill few more retainers. Also we can collect some information prior." Ahram hesitated but spoke.

They were in the huge city. The expected enemies were also stronger. Without precaution the retainer might make them fool. Junan thought for a while and nodded. "You are right. We did not kill more than three retainers. And I agree that they could trap us. For this we can follow and kill many more since there is whole day ahead." Junan paused for a moment.

"We can reach their Altar near evening. In the evening we can make some ruckus and no one will be able to chase us." Junan added. He admired this suggestion. This way they could wipe out retainers and their main place.

"It is decided then. We will increase our pace. I came to know that retainers fear when they are surrounded. It decreases their fighting ability." Albert revealed his reflection about the retainers during battle.

"It is advantage for us. We will surround the retainer first so that the battle should not take long." Junan was glad that the team members were investing more attention.

This proved that they were grooming. A retainer happened to cross the street. He was heading toward next street however he caught sight of arena runners busy planning something.

He rushed toward them shouting in case if there was another retainer then he should hear his call of help.
