[VRMMO] Dead One

"W-what the hell do you want mate?! I told you that there was no goblins here!" – said an orc worker.

"Yea. You did, but I never said anything about adventurer. Why did you said "Goblin Adventurer"?"

(This place isn't even located near the path between royal capital and the first city, so it would be normal to assume even for NPCs that the goblin in question isn't a player.) – though ClownFrog.

(But why did he specifically mentioned "PLAYER"?")

"You slipped up, so you better- "

Suddenly, behind ClownFrog back, two orcs rushed towards him with axes in their hands.

However, when they axes hit him, an explosion occurred that ended up knocking both of them away.

"I see."

"SO YOU ARE HIDDING SOMETHING HERE?!" – said ClownFrog while holding the orc worker by his neck.

"G-get him!" – shouted the orc worker.

Suddenly, all of the people inside the bar took up weapons, but as soon as ClownFrog saw this, he immediately summoned his undeads that ended up filling the place up to the point where the doors and windows were instantly broken.

"?!"

"H-hey?! What is going on?!" – said a villager outside the tavern.

"…"

"Capture every body you see and don't let them escape. Anybody who resists or try anything funny, kill them." – said ClownFrog after walking out of tavern.

ClownFrog released his monsters all across the village, plodding the entire village in chaos in just few moments.

Some of the villagers realized the danger and tried to run away, but ClownFrog deployed a barrier skills to cut off the villager's path or used Hera and other demons to cut off their paths.

Before long, the entire village was on complete lock down.

"Damn! What the hell is happening?!" – said a demon villager that being held captive by undeads.

"Shut up." – said ClownFrog while dragging around an orc worker.

"?!"

"Wait! You are that adventurer- "

"Hey. The one who will ask questions will be me." – said ClownFrog.

"If any of you want to live, then don't try anything funny or the undeads will kill you on the spot."

"So just do as you are told." – said ClownFrog before throwing the orc towards the villagers.

"Answer me this first."

"Are you part of "Paimon Fanatics"?"

"?!"

"W-what?! No!" – said a female villager.

"Then why these people attacked me?"

"Not only that, when I asked about goblin adventurer, they began panicking."

"!?"

"I-I…."

"…"

(Forget it. There is a chance only these guys are part of fanatics and they may also be under influence of the demonic contract.)

(However, they may know something about the current situation.)

ClownFrog grabbed the orc bartend hands before snapping his thumb.

The orc screamed in pain as the villagers stared in terror.

"Now."

"What the hell are you hiding from me?"

"What is it about "Adventurer goblin"?"

"Considering that you mentioned it, means that you are not bound by the demonic contract that makes you unable to mention it."

"…."

ClownFrog broke another finger of the orc.

"!?"

"ALRIGHT!"

"I-in the basement! She is in basement of the tavern!"

"…"

(She?)

ClownFrog left the villagers behind while leaving his undeads to watch over them while he went back to the tavern.

"…"

"He said its here."

ClownFrog hit the middle of the floor, revealing a hidden passage.

(Huh. I though it would be… I don't know in the storage room or something?)

(?)

(Oh wait. This is good idea though.)

(Nobody would suspected that the hidden passage would be right here. They would think that the passage is in storage or in other room… Huh… Smart. I should take notes.)

(But anyway, another hidden passage inside building?)

(Blueberry and Rampage also found one like that leading to the laboratory.)

(Are all the fanatics bases like that?)

(Well, maybe this time we will find some proof that can either confirm that the undeads are really traitors or that they we are getting feed fake info.)

ClownFrog took the underground passage and after reaching the end of it, he found himself in some sort of corridor.

(?)

(Well, well, well? What do we have here? Some sort of hidden passage?)

(But… There was no message that this place is dungeon or anything.)

(…)

ClownFrog took off his disguise and put on his regular equipment.

(It's better if I take this seriously.)

(I already used my undeads in the first place to take over the village, so there is no use hiding it any longer.)

ClownFrog began walking down an underground path until he came across a door that was being guarded by two guards.

"?!"

"Hey! Who- "

Before the guard could finish speaking, ClownFrog already fired a barrage of bone arrows at both the guards, killing them immediately.

"…"

ClownFrog approach the door carefully while preparing another spell, but when he finally got near it and opened it, there was nobody on the other side.

However, what he found instead was a large underground prison.

"?"

(What is this place? A prison?)

(…)

(Monsters… And even NPCs are being held captive?)

(!)

(Trolls! And even demonic golems are here!) – though ClownFrog while looking around.

(Jezus.)

(I think I found something way bigger than I thought?)

(Who would have though all of this located in some random ass village?)

"Hm?"

"Hey! Over here!" – said a voice from nearby.

"?"

"?!"

ClownFrog turned around and saw a prison cell near him that had some people inside.

However, what shocked ClownFrog was that the inside the cell there was players AND among them, there was a person he knew.

"ClownFrog?! Is that you?!"

[Ampi – Necromancer class specialist – Fan of ClownFrog]

"Ampi?! The hell are you doing here?!" – said ClownFrog.

"?!"

"Holy shit! It's really you?!"

"?!"

"Wait! You are not working for the fanatics, right?!" – asked Ampi.

"?"

"Well, no… I mean I literally just broke in."

"?!"

"Wait! You are the player that the orc mentioned!"

"Orc?"

"!"

"Oh! You mean those guys from the tavern?!"

"So, you were kidnapped?!" – said ClownFrog.

"But why the fuck are you doing here anyway?!"

"Well… Like you said we got kidnapped…."

We were doing some delivery quest for the NPC named Igor.

However, we couldn't find him no matter where we looked.

It took us freaking days, but nothing!

However, we found out recently where he was last seen.

So, we went to the village where he was supposed to sell some stuff, but we couldn't find him anywhere.

But honestly, when I asked the tavern owner about a demon, he said that he didn't saw any demon merchants…. But we never mentioned the demons we are looking for was merchant.

(…)

(Wait…. The same guy? Are you for fuking real? Why the fuck fanatics put an idiot like that to work here?!) – though ClownFrog after realizing tavern owner is an idiot.

Anyway, we were attacked by the fanatics and we managed to deal with them…. But then that guy came.

He was large demonoid with 4 dark horns.

He wasn't an NPC but a player…. He beat us all up and some of his friends also showed up and beat us up.

"!"

(A demonoid player with 4 horns?! There is no mistaking it, they must have took the demon potion like Shri and evolved!)

"…"

"But why did they captured you instead of killing you?"

"Well… I don't know… But my guess is that they didn't wanted us to spread the news around."

"Honestly, all we know that we were captured and we were blindfolded by them before we were taken here…."

"Hm…. Yea. It does make sense. You could post some info online…. But that would take time for anybody to really pay attention to AND the best way to spread the news would be in the game." – said ClownFrog.

(Still. Who is that player who took the demonic potion?)

(I know that changing your race gives you a huge boost in power, unlocks new classes AND gives you a title, but he was able to wipe most of them by just himself?)

(Considering that he had 4 horns means that he was originally a demonoid before drinking that potion…. There is also a thing about other players working with him.)

(Just as we suspected, there are players working for the fanatics!)

(Fuck. Things are turning more and more annoying.)

(I need to inform the others about it.)

[You are unable to send the message.]

"?"

"What the?"

"Hm? Did you tried sending a message?" – asked Ampi.

"Yea. But I cannot…. I also cannot use video call or anything."

"Forget it. This prison has some sort of barrier that disturbs any communications devices." – said a kobold player that walked towards the cell bars.

"I saw some of the players working for the fanatics still somehow using their system, so I guess they are unaffected by it or something?"

"We tried contacting some of our members, but we couldn't get touch with them when we tried."

"I see… Well, that makes things annoying…." – said ClownFrog.

"Anyway, are the people members of your guild?"

"Yea. There are 8 of us in here in total and all of us are part of [Litle Bastards]." – said Ampi.

"…"

"Step away from the bars." – said ClownFrog.

"?"

"Wait… Are you planning to- "– kobold player tried saying something.

"NOW."

"!"

The players began moving away from cell bars.

"[Lava Fist]!"

ClownFrog fired a fist of lava at the cell bars in hopes of destroying them… However, the bars were still standing.

"Forget it. We had already tried breaking them before and they are." – said kobold player.

"[Lava Bone Blade]."

A lava poured out of ClownFrog arm before forming a blade made out of the bones.

ClownFrog swinged his arm around and cut the cell bars with ease.

"…."

"What?" – said the kobold player.

"What "What?"."

"These bars seem hard, but they are no indestructible by the look of things."

"Hey. What are you waiting for? Its time to work." – said ClownFrog.
