Chapter 229: An Unexpected Visit!
Chapter 229: An Unexpected Visit!
"How can I find what I want?"
Bloom exited the game where he was living now inside his old mansion like before. For others, he was Henry, the heir to the dead Bloom, and all this was thanks to his tattoo on his back.
"It still feels itchy," he scratched his back while complaining, "now I have to start my search now."
The first thing he did was to open a search bar and started to write what he was looking for.
"How to make a dark player be revealed forcibly inside a village?"
That was the question he wrote and what he got was thousands of leads about the answer.
"This won't do," he discarded one speaking about making the dark player attack any guard. "Who was foolish enough to do that?" he muttered before opening the next ones.
Yet he spent hours looking and all what he read seemed unlikely to be in the game or too hard to achieve for now.
"Be a marquis rank be an earl all are speaking about ranks inside the game, sigh."
He knew it was feasible this way, but for someone who was targeting the merchant caravans and had nothing to help at all in raising his prestige except for some random first clearances of the dungeons, he knew he couldn't achieve that.
"Let's see this seems good," he finally found what he was looking for a high emergency quest! "But this I either need a rank to do it or to take a big quest and finish it so fast in the time left for me," he hesitated.
He had less than two days now to take such a quest and finish it. yet he didn't give up and continued to search, but he found no more helpful findings anywhere else.
"let's see how we can get such a quest then," he started narrowing his search for answers related only to the Eternal Glory game.
"Oh it requires me to go to the town interesting."
The only quests he found were related to the town and cities. For him, he couldn't go to the city for now but the town was something he could visit for sure.
"It says here the mayor of any town was the one holding such a quest I need to find that mayor and make him give me this quest."
He didn't hurry to return as he continued searching more about how to befriend the mayor. "There are these ranks again," he was helpless before he found something useful after two hours of reading and searching.
"So the dark side in the game has such value that's great!"
Bloom still was annoyed by the game quest forced upon him from before. Despite him changing his shape inside the game, his identity was still there.
He had to take such a quest considerably seriously, especially the consequences were very big!
"I used killing that death elder from before as an excuse to escape the punishment," he sighed as he sent this kill as a quest requirement when the game asked him for proof of quest completion, "but now I have such an opportunity I won't let it go."
He closed his screen before finally returning to the capsule. It was bitch dark at night and the hour was too late, yet he felt as if someone was eyeing him from a corner of the room all of sudden.
"Show yourself!" he turned around and took the hand laser gun Antoan gave to him to keep it with him all the time.
"Interesting," suddenly a voice came from the same corner he was gazing at, "to feel my presence you are really something."
"Show yourself" Bloom threatened before activating the hand laser, "or else"
"Calm down kid," a sudden giant appeared in front of Bloom at this moment. Bloom had to close and open his eyes more than once when he saw that person or creature.
"Surprised, right?" the man laughed before adding, "but you shouldn't be too surprised. After all you invited me here Bloom."
"Bloom is dead!"
"Sure, for the rest of the world, but not for you, not for me, not for others."
Bloom felt a cold hand grasping his heart before he threw off the laser gun and the next instant four swords appeared all of sudden around him out of nowhere.
"Drop them," the man said in a calm tone while walking towards one of the seats here, "I said I'm not here to harm you."
"I don't believe a single word you said," Bloom coldly said.
"Expected," the man laughed, "but how can you explain my presence here then?"
Bloom hesitated as the man standing in front of him was nothing different than a race he once fought against those winged angles inside the game!
"Chill out and sit, we have something to discuss with you."
"We?" Bloom noticed the way that angel addressed himself with.
"Indeed, as your mind must be telling you now I'm not the only one able to come here in your world from there."
He pointed towards the capsule of the game while adding, "but I'm not here for harm, or to take revenge upon what you kill inside. After all this is a mere war and casualties will happen on both sides."
Bloom couldn't help but grab a seat and sat in front of that giant. "What do you want to say? The game isn't a game?"
"It's a game indeed," the angel laughed, "and it's not."
"You"
"Don't be agitated like this. The frank answer is only known to a small number of your kin I believe you call them the CEOs, right?"
Bloom didn't answer as he kept staring at him.
"Don't try to ask them anything, after all they got an oath not to speak about what they learnt of the truth. And I'm not here to teach you about it."
"then why are you here? And how can you get out of the game?"
"Through the same way you can come out of it," the angel laughed as he motioned towards the capsule, "do you think you are the only ones coming in and out of that world? C'mon, just think about it."
"But"
"I have little time to be here to be honest with you," the angel stopped Jim in his tracks, "I can here to warn you of something bad will happen."
"What?" Bloom didn't know if there was anything much worse than seeing one of those monsters he kept killing inside the game speaking to him like a sane person.
"I know you are part of the Triflet challenge and I came here to tell you that many forces in the dark are scheming to make the other jerk opponent of yours win."
"I know that," Bloom sighed.
"No, you know nothing," the angel firmly shook his head, "the next months in the game will be very grateful to all. Frankly my kin has no issue with yours, but others just find killing you is a fun sport or even a privilege kind of food."
Bloom's face darkened while the angel continued, "if you want to save your world, don't let your opponent win this challenge. A very big game event will start soon, be sure to be there and be ready to fight and win it or else your opponent ranking will sour to the skies and you won't be able to handle him ever again."
The next moment the body of the angel started to fade away. "Sigh, my time here is limited. Try to train your unlocked powers inside this world not there. After all, the future might be darker than you think it is."
The angel finally disappeared leaving Bloom behind glancing at the empty seat with disturbed mind.
"What the hell just happened here?" he couldn't help but curse out loud while turning around and saw none there. "Is this some kind of joke? Or this is a bad dream I would wake up soon from?"
Bloom kept himself there for a few minutes before he shook his head helplessly and went towards the capsule. "At least I know something big will happen inside the game and if this happened, then"
He paused as his heart shuddered from the mere thought of this. The angel he saw was so real, every tiny detail of his was shockingly similar to the ones he killed all time inside the game.
"War" Bloom muttered before thinking back to that hidden CEO member who supported Dockrey. "Was him part of us or them?" he seriously asked himself while entering the game with so much worry over his face.
"Damn why things are heading towards such bizarre way?" he cursed before appearing inside the game again. "Important things first," he muttered trying to calm himself, "if that angel was real and what he just said was the truth, then destroying that butler of Dockrey has become a much stressing matter now."
If he wanted to punish Dockrey for what he did for him and take his revenge through cutting off his strong arms first one by one, he was now thinking of doing it to weaken him even more.
After all he didn't know but what he personally experienced wasn't normal, and he was just miraculously resurrected inside the real world after losing an entire game level like he was playing inside the game!
