Versatile: Alternate World

The time where the player wearing a wolf mask disappear in the forest, is also the time the 4 players who have experienced death several times heave a sigh of relief. However, they are now faced with a problem. Since they are a party, they can still whisper and chat with each other. Normally, ghosts can't talk to any players except if they are in the same party. They can only regain their ability to speak again once they are revived or they have returned to the town's cathedral.

"Guys, should we revive back in the capital?" Teruyama asked.

"Damn, I don't think I will. I mean, you want to be embarrassed by the masses after going out of the cathedral naked?! Not me!" the Paladin said.

"Indeed! You know that we don't even have our underwear since it also dropped when we were killed earlier. If this game is really realistic as it was said, then we won't get any underwear at all even if we respawn!" the assassin said.

"F*ck that guy. Just who was he? Why did he kill us out of nowhere? Did we offend him in any way?!" the cleric was confused.

"Are you dumb? PK players don't need enmities and reasons from us just to kill us! If we are players that have been sighted by him, he or she will be sure to do it!" the paladin retorted from the cleric's thoughts.

"Alright, alright, we don't need to argue about that stuff. If anyone is fine, we can just go revive again in the cathedral. Even without underwear, we can at least buy new clothes and equipment in stores," Teruyama said and waited for the cooldown of their revival.

As soon as the countdown hit zero, their naked bodies on the ground started glowing and started to break down into particles before every particle disappear and dissipated into the air.

...

Teruyama opened his eyes and before he can even stand up, he was immediately pinned down to the ground by someone and he heard a deep voice of someone who somehow, exudes a lot of authority.

"These exhibitionists adventurers are a disgrace! Guards! Bring these exhibitionists to prison and imprison them for 3 days!"

Teruyama was not sure what is happening until his interface pops up a message.

[You are sent to jail! Imprisonment will last for 3 days in real-time. Logging out will be prohibited in the duration of imprisonment. Nutrient supply in the cabin will be supplied to the user to avoid health problems.]

Teruyama who is still unsure of what is going on was now carried by the guardians who are known to deliver justice and beat up the crime. Teruyama is not the only one, the other 3 players are also carried and will suffer in prison for 3 days, cold and naked without any ability to log out.

...

After leaving, I returned to my post of observation for the quest but this time, I don't need to do it on the rooftop. These guys are inside the pub after all and observing them in the rooftop is pointless. Entering it will be the only way for me to observe the place.

Opening the door to the pub, a flying dagger came flying past my head. It's not really a good idea to get inside this place without reflexes and any protection in the head and body. Its not a problem to me but newbies will definitely be injured and worse, will die if careless enough.

Entering the venue by myself did not solve the trouble inside. I witnessed a rumble of two sides inside. I don't know how the owner of Silverdrider Pub can handle all the damages on his property every day but this riot is an everyday occurrence.

When one chair came flying towards my direction, I immediately reacted and sliced it with my weapon in quick succession before kicking the two pieces back to the person who tosses the chair in my direction.

BANG!

The guy who throws the chair did not expect the chair to return to him and in two pieces at that. The two pieces are enough to cause him to pass out. Still, even with that spectacle, the people did not stop in their fighting. There are plenty of vacant chairs to occupy since most of them are fighting. If there are people fighting, there are also spectators too.

One of the chairs that are vacant is the chair beside the leader of the Loan Shark Mercenaries who was currently drinking beer without even bothering to watch the fight, unlike the others who are betting and cheering on the fighters.

As soon as I occupied the chair, I raised my hand to catch the attention of the bartender attending. As a veteran in this pub, specialties are easy to order here and even those things that only patrons know, I know all of them.

"Give me one Riddance in a tankard."

The bartender was surprised but he immediately processed my request.

"It's been a few years since someone ordered that and only the patrons who are frequent here know that drink. This is the first time I saw you here, mister. Did someone tell you this specialty before?" the bartender asked.

"One adventurer told me about it. He even replicated it before," I bluffed.

"I see. But hey, our drink is the authentic one. I bet this one will be much better than the copycat one."

While the bartender was mixing the drink, the leader of the mercenaries look at me and frowned.

"Someone who wears a wolf mask like you is indeed a newcomer but from the way you move and act the moment you entered the pub is already someone from a person who frequently stays in this chaotic place," he said in his husky voice.

"Chaotic places like this is something I am used to. This is not the first time I am in this situation."

"Huh, so you actually knew your stuff. And based on your voice, you are quite young. What brings you here?"

This guy is someone indeed a man who goes straight to the point. Well, no point talking out in circles.

"You run the loan shark mercenaries right? A client of mine is complaining about a debt they have no idea existed before. Are you the one responsible for it? If you are up for explaining, then I am willing to listen but if you are hostile, I will not hesitate to deal with you right here and now."
