The Player's System

Change method

Junan and others were in the new place. However they could feel that their freedom ended. At every second street retainers were patrolling. They were alert.

These two wings were line of control for the Altar. The news spread about the Runners and how they were creating ruckus for them.

Five members of the second team were hostages. The Altar decided to throw them in the Pool of Dead and focus on the real Runners.

Two remaining team members were helpless to battle with so many retainers. They silently watched the hostage being dragged toward unknown place.

It was enough to destroy their remaining courage. Both teams faced challenges only half of their members were able to escape and hide. They were looking for the third team now.

They wanted to know what happened with them or they were facing different circumstances. If they could bring some problems for them then they might wash their regret of not being able to keep the team and the possibly they were disqualified for third level.

Every team entered in the game portal with enthusiasm of clearing the level and reaching nest however the surprise opening of the portal was coming in trend.

They were getting annoyed. They were confident however stuck in the very first task. They even cursed the Book of Detection. [The guilds started working seriously on this issue after seeing the situation in the second level of the game portal.

It was more than humiliation for their big Guilds and the reputation was slowly tainting. The signs were that the players might question the worth of the guilds soon.

These guilds were taking over everything. Their reputation and wealth was unmatchable. The presidents of the guilds were directly related with the presidents of the popular games.

For this reason the whispers might turn in to slogans. No one could blame that the teams were dumb instead people would blame that the guilds those prepared the teams were actually dumbest.

The third team was again alive and they were currently busy in completing the first task. The developers announced fairly that the professions have similar capability for every team. It was up to the team to prove their worth.

The last drawback fell on the teams. The total worth of the stronger teams had been in discussions for long time. They were paid bulk amounts for international quests yet here in this portal game they seemed less competing.]

Junan looked at them and understood. Team members did not speak but their questioning faces were enough to make him twitch. "We will change our method. According to the task the killing of the retainers is necessary so we will kill them." He knew that he was repeating his words.

"However we are going to mass kill. In the previous place the normal population might have created hindrance for us to use long range weapons but here were are free. The paths are no related apparently. This means were go all out in this place." He paused for a moment and continued.

"We will lure five or six retainers at place and then boom. Jake is learned in using his weapons. Others would use various means to gather the enemies at the said places. Use all decent or crude methods I do not care no matter bring them showing the cheese." He looked at them.

Team members were listening with utmost attention. They were making calculations whether using their real methods would work. Some of their methods were seriously crude.

"We will complete this task near the evening at most. Later we will take over the Altar. Anyone want to ask question?" He saw Orin itching for question.

Orin immediately spoke, "Is the path to reach the Altar is similar hidden if yes then we might take ages for searching through all houses." His question indeed picked their interest.

"This would not be difficult. I noticed difference between the path houses and the normal one. The door of the path houses are made of similar wood however the shade of the door color is slightly altered. We need second glance to search the right house for the hidden path." Jake explained.

They were shocked to know that the kid was actually noting down the details of the houses. It was good for them. Junan chuckled. He might have faced worry in answering this question however the kid solved his problem.

"Since everything decided now get to work. We have lot of errands to complete." Team members stood up. They were sitting behind the three trash bins and waiting for the enemies.

Ahram sprint back to his job. This time his job was different though. Previously he was searching retainers now he would point out places where they could be in numbers and also give pointers to the stronger members for bringing the retainers. It was difficult for Jake to sprint and use weapons at the rooftops maintaining his balance so he ran on the street behind Junan.

Ahram was responsible to inform team head then he will let the kid use his weapons. Albert and Orin left to search their targets. Sashi took charge of few streets.

She decided that she would kill if it was one retainer otherwise run toward the team head. She was not going to use any crude method of winking enemies or showing her legs.

She might shoot arrow in the throat if someone tried to. Sashi could tell since the virtual world was created adding in the realistic freedom then the enemies must be designed according to it.

Clark was behind the kid. Slowly he was learning various aspects of the nature of the kid. He was playing this game portal with all sincerity. He was sure that he was hiding something sorrowful.

The kid behaved like sober team head. He seemed not care what others were thinking about him. He was less worried despite knowing that initially team head and two others did not behaved well with him.

Knowing that his actions were not suitable as per experienced gamer, Clark thought to rework his behavior.
