[VRMMO] Dead One

[Player GreyHunt has logged in.]

"Hm? Sup GreyHunt." – said Tail who was carrying boxes.

"Hey. Em… Say. Did you saw the announcement?"

"Hm? What announcement?"

"That- "

[Player Cave has logged in.]

"HOLY FUKING SHIT!"

"You saw it, didn't you?" – asked GreyHunt.

"YES!" – replied Cave.

"???" – Tail looked confused.

"Em… Yea… We need to inform the others. It's quite big."

[Few moments later.]

"THEY ARE HOSTING AN TORNAMENT?!" – shouted Rampage.

"Yea." – said Shri while having a status window opened in front of her.

"You can even access the announcement while in game."

[Official event.]

[Event: The first tournament.]

[The event will be held next month in real life time.]

[The even will be made into several pieces.]

[First part: Battle Royal.]

[During this part players will enter a battle royal on the special map where the goal is to reduce the number of the participants to specific number.]

[To participate in the event, you need to be at least level 100.]

[After the first battle royal, the second battle royal will take place where again, you would need to reduce the number of the players.]

[The reason why the battle royal will be held twice is because of the sheer amount of players playing this game.]

[After the second battle royal the second part of the event will be held.]

[The second part: Tournament.]

[After the battle royal ends and only the strongest players remains, the REAL part of the tournament will start.]

[The battle will be 1vs1 against a player and the fight will be officially streamed online, so please be wary.]

[Each player won't know who they will be fighting, they will only know when they will be fighting.]

[The winner who claims the first spot will receive 250.000$]

[The people who at least qualified for the tormenter will receive minimal amount of money if they loses.]

"This is…. Wow…." – said Blueberry.

(250.000$ is not a small amount of money.) – though ClownFrog.

(But I guess they can toss around that much money considering the success of the game.)

(Jezus….)

(…)

(The only requirement to join the tormenting is to have a private console unit and have character with at least level 100.)

(If the player managed to arrive at the tournament part, they will able to borrow a special capsule in one of the game centers run by the RealityDream company.)

(The tournament won't reveal any personal informations about the players, but to register the player needs to use their real nick name they are using in the game. Their in game names will be exposed.)

(During the tournament duration, the game will be frozen, allowing the players not to worry about the even in the game happening while they are taking part in the tournament.)

(….)

(Damn.)

(This is quite big of a deal.)

(This is a first tournament and yet 250.000$ from get go?)

(They want to start big huh?)

(…. Their main goal is however to promote the game.)

(Not only that, the tournament isn't forcing you to represent the nation or anything like that, meaning that anybody can join.)

(There is also the fact that many guilds and the players will use this tournament to show off in order to maybe prove they are the strongest players in the game right now.)

(This will be big… Like extremely big.)

(….)

(The battle royal will be taking the next month before 2 weeks later where the second battle royal.)

(….)

"Hm…. Should we take part in this?" – asked ClownFrog.

"…. That is the problem though." – said Oron.

"We are strong, but we are also unknown."

"If we would go out there, people would saw how strong current us are."

"But we could also use that tormenter to spread our terror around." – said Rampage.

"Not only that, we could also get some money and everything."

"…If we were to join the tormenter, we would have some problems, but we would have few benefits as well." – said Blueberry.

"However, is it worth it in the end?"

"…."

"Fuck it." – said GreyHunt.

"We should join the tournament."

"I agree with GreyHunt." – said ClownFrog.

"It could be a perfect opportunity to show off."

"We don't even need to finish in the first or second place as long as we show off our strength."

"But…. Damn… Is it really worth it though?"

"I mean, the people will know about our power and everything."

"That's why we should do it now." – said GreyHunt.

"Remember. One of our main weapons is panic and fear."

"If people would fight us, especially players, their spirit would get broken."

"Oh yea… That is a good idea." – said ClownFrog.

"…."

"The registration period is 2 weeks…"

"I will definitely join." – said ClownFrog.

"Me as well." – said GreyHunt.

"What about the rest of you?"

"Hm…... Fuck it. I'm joining." – said Oron.

"Obviously we join as well!" – said Rampage and Shri.

"Well, I may as well do it to complete it." – said Blueberry.

"But what about the rest of you? Just so you know, there may be a chance that monsters like us may appear in the tournament." – said Blueberry to the other members of the guild.

"…."

"We need time." – said Lil.

"I agree. Honestly, some of us may change opinion and other stuff…. So, yea, we don't know." – said Ampi.

"Okay. Just take your time. You are not forced to join the tournament or anything like that." – said ClownFrog.

"Still, we even if you are not joining tournament, we need to focus on growing stronger and everything."

"Blueberry."

"Yea?"

"How long it will take for the new armors to get finished?"

"Hm…. I got few prototypes and thanks to the materials that place had provided…. I say I can finish them soon before the first battle royal will take place."

"Good. But, if possible, please focus on finish the armors first." – said ClownFrog.

"We will need to start hunting some of the monsters in this area that will be quiet annoying."

"Speaking off making stuff. How were habreist doing?"

"Pretty good." – replied Blueberry.

"They helped out way better than I though when it came to making stuff. They are really excellent builders just like Hera said."

"Still… Those monsters attacks are annoying."

"They didn't stopped yet?" – asked GreyHunt.

"Nope."

"They are attacking us over and over."

"I guess we expanded our base too far and its standing out way too much in here."

"We need to reinforce our defenses again and if possible, I would like to put some of the strongest monsters we can create to guard this place or summon some hell demons as the guards."

"Hm…. Approved." – said ClownFrog.

"If a large army of monsters attack us when we are not around, we need to have at least some means of slowing them down or dealing with them all together."

"Does anybody have anything else to discuss or needs our attention? If not, we will end our meeting."

"I have." – said Kitty Paw while raising his hand.

"Yea?"

"The empire has started taking some real action against us, especially the two mayor guilds: Red Lions and Scarlet Gryphons."

"They even stated that they will hunt us down and are trying to call us out in order to make us leave our hiding spot. It's definitely a trap and all…. But should we really don't do anything about them?"

"Ignore them." – said Rampage.

"They want to bark, so let them bark."

"And during the tournament? If you encounter any of them, crush them mercilessly."

"Still, won't we fight them sooner or later?" – asked the Kitty Nose.

"We may have made the area around us unstable, especially by taking the settlements that could have been used as the base of operation in order to attack this great danger zone. I'm talking about that city that we had invaded and completely turned to rubles."

"But what if they suddenly decide to screw and go here?"

"I mean, this place, behind the mountains is way harder, meaning that you would need to be a monster or have a huge group of elite players."

"However they need to get past mountains and then try and find our base." – said Cave.

"And even though our base is quite big, there are many trees of those extremely tall trees that are covering us completely from above. We even intentionally left many of those trees inside our base to create a cover."

"Cave is right, but so are the Kitty Paw and Kitty Nose." – said Lil.

"We are still extremely hard to find, but we cannot ignore the possibility that these two may think that we are hiding here and send out an expedition here."

"If they find us? Empire will go after us and we are screwed."

"…."

"Well, so far they didn't found us and the only place they are investigating is the city we had destroyed." – said Shri.

"It was the closest settlement to this place, but we make sure to make our attack seem like we started off from completely different places and straight up redirecting the attention from [Bloody Mountains]."

"But…... Hm…. Hey. Why don't we attack place that is quiet far away from our current base?" – proposed Shri.

"Wouldn't that throw them off a bit?"

"But what about my army? If we travel for too long, the chance of me getting spotted would get too high." – said ClownFrog.

"Then we won't take army with us." – said Shri.

"And we won't move in huge group."

"Lil, Ampi, ClownFrog and the Ogo as well as Bondo will go."

"Lil and Ampi can summon monsters while me and Ogo and Bondo can control tamed monsters."

"Boss also has ability so summon a huge army of the undeads even without killing anybody."

"We can summon our armies as soon as we arrive at our destination and we have a freaking lich that can turn an entire city into an army of the dead."

"Hm… It could work. But what about the loot?" – asked Ampi.

"We would need to give up on it." – said ClownFrog.

"Still, it would make it too obvious though if we don't rob the settlements even though the other settlements we destroyed were indeed robbed."

"…. Em… Then why don't we use the undeads as red hearing?" – asked Blueberry.

"We can have undead carry the stollen loot, but in opposite direction where our base is located."

"They would find the undeads and kill them and would take back the loot."

"…. Hey. That is a smart idea Blueberry!" – said Bongo.

"It would make it look like we did robbed the place but failed to carry the goods!"

"…. Yea. It would work. But we cannot make it too obvious that we wanted to find them." – said ClownFrog.

"I can use the slave master undead I have to command the undeads. He isn't intelligent undead, but he can make undeads fallow his command."

"This will work out."

"Thanks Blueberry."

"No problem!" – said Blueberry.

"Well then, better up prepare you all, because the sooner we complete our job, the better." – said ClownFrog while getting up.
