[VRMMO] Dead One

The middle of the map had started becoming more and more chaotic with each minute passaging.

However, it will only get soon worse, since the red zone is slowly approaching the safe zone and once it hits it, the players main hiding spot, the forest, will be off limit.

Several players instantly made a run to the center of the map in order not to get attacked by the players in the forest or some players continue waiting in the forest in order to avoid the conflict and have other people murder each other.

However, even people who were hiding in the forest were not safe, since obviously it wasn't just two or three people having the same idea.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" – shouted Conquest, the guild master of the Red Lions guild as he threw out multiple players out of the forest as he himself emerged from the forest.

"!"

(So…. This is the final safe zone?) – though Conquest while looking around.

"?"

"?!"

Conquest noticed some sort of huge group of monsters in the distance.

"…. ClownFrog?"

(SO THIS FUCKER IS HERE, HUH?!) – though excited Conquest.

"…."

(Should I aim for him?)

"…"

"Nah."

(I want to crush that bastard in the finals myself!)

Suddenly, a huge burst of light happened somewhere near Conquest.

Conquest quickly looked around and had spotted a dying player, alongside Hawk who had walked out of the forest.

"…."

"?"

Hawk noticed Conquest in the distance, as he notices him.

"…"

The two man got ready to fight each other, but then each of them was suddenly attacked by the competing players that emerged from the forest, forcing them to fight back.

However, it wasn't just Conquest, Hawk or the emerged from the forest and onto the area, no. There were a lot of different stronger players in the mix and a lot of them were well known.

And to add even more chaos, this happened.

[This is the official announce.]

[The number of the remaining participants had reached 100.]

[Once the number reaches 64, the event shall end.]

"!"

(Wait.) – though ClownFrog while opening his game menu and look at the player counter.

"…."

(The number are keep dropping, at this rate the event may as well end before the red zone gets here.)

"Hm…."

"Hm? What is boss?" – said O'a who noticed ClownFrog with concern look.

"Well, by the look of things the event will end soon…. Bit sooner than I had expected." – replied ClownFrog.

"…..."

"Hm… Honestly we don't need to do anything anymore…."

"…."

"Do you mind if we go wild? I want to test out my strength against some of the bastards here." – said O'a.

"Same here." – said Morion.

"I need to fight them!"

"…."

"Suit yourself. The monsters will be under your control…." – said ClownFrog.

"What about the rest of you?"

"I'm not. I'm lazy." – said Hera before then landing on top of the giant skeleton.

"Hm. Suit yourself."

"Okay. Whoever wants to go wild, just do it."

Many of the monsters under ClownFrog control suddenly went wild and had stopped waiting,

The monsters went in all directions, now starting to hunt people and that action was not unnoticed by people as the monster that just stood by suddenly started going on rampage.

"…."

"You sure this is good idea to let those idiots go wild?" – asked Hera.

"Meh. Let them have fun." – replied ClownFrog.

"Besides."

A blast of magic flew directly towards the ClownFrog, but was easily stopped by the barrier of darkness.

After stopping the attack ClownFrog turned towards the attack before then firing a breath attack from his mouth that flew towards the attacker and blew him up.

"Do you really think I'm some sort of weakling without my monsters?"

"…No. You are still a freaky monsters even without any of our support." – said Hera.

The countdown was going down.

The number of the remaining players was keep dropping and truth to be told, this event had already lasted for quite some time already.

As for the players who were left?

Some of the stronger players were fighting each other, eliminating some stronger players.

89.

85.

80.

The numbers were dropping rapidly and once it drops to 64, then it's the end of the event.

However, some of the players were not fighting at all and instead were watching.

Were they confided?

No.

They were watching how the opponents they would fight in finals be.

"…"

"Say, is it me or people are avoid each other now?" – asked ClownFrog.

"…."

Hera spread her wings and flew up before then starting to look around.

"…."

["No. Some people are avoiding each other, they are straight up ignoring each other and just end fight with few hits before stopping."] – said Hera while using her communication skill.

"…"

"I see. They don't want to get assassinated by the third party" – said ClownFrog.

"Say, is there anything like big fights happening or something?"

"…."

["I can see some ice magic and O'a fighting somebody?"]

(Ice magic? Does that mean that Runa girl is still alive?)

"Hera."

"Tell O'a to leave that person alone, since I kind of promised to let that person go."

"…."

["Fine."] – said Hera before flying towards O'a.

"…."

(Huh…...)

(I mean, I like that is calm and everything.) – though ClownFrog while looking around.

(But…... Em…...)

(I was kind of expecting some strong idiot try to pick and fight with me or something…. But nothing? Really?)

(I mean, I don't want to go around and hunting the strongest guys on the map, since I want to show off my power by fighting some strong guys and not some weaklings.)

(But…. Well…. I wanted some climaxing fight or something?)

(I don't really need to participant, I could just even watch it.)

(I mean, I did had SOME fun in this event this time, unlike the previous one and this time I showed off properly by fighting some stronger guys….)

(…. No wait…. Actually, I'm quite satisfied with that event already?)

(And-)

[STOP!]

"?!"

As soon as the messenge window appeared, everything stopped.

[The current number of the players left had reaches 64!]

"?!"

(Wait what?!) – though shocked and extremely confused ClownFrog.

(It was 72 just minute ago!)

(When and how?!)

[With the current number of the players finally being 64, the event shall now end.]

[Congratulation to you all.]

[All the players that are still standing have official been registered for the finals!]

[All the player still standing will be shortly be teleported to the podium located on the lobby map.]

[Please get ready.]

"?!"

"The heck? It ended like that?" – said GreyHunt while stepping on top of the corpse.

"Hey. Did you killed the last guy?" – shouted Oron towards GreyHunt.

"NOPE! It wasn't me who killed last guy, but I think I killed the one before the last one!" – replied GreyHunt.

"…."

"Tch. I wanted to kill you before you got to the finals, you got lucky again." – said Conquest.

"Yea, yea. Say what ever you fuking want. You will still get wrecked in finals." – said Hawk while giving cheeky smile to the Conquest.

"…."

(This bitch!) – though annoyed Conquest.

"…."

(Well, I didn't ended up with some climax fight, but it was still good event.) – though ClownFrog.

(BUT NOW I'M LOOKING WAY MORE FORWARD TO THE FINALS!)

Few moments later, the players began slowly disappearing one by one until every player had been teleport.

[This is an official announcement.]

[The event: First Tournament – Second Phase, had officially ended!]

[All the 64 players that had survived until the end of the battle royal had officially qualified to the finals.]

[Please give applause to the players that had been qualified to the finals!]

Few moments later, all the 64 players that had survived until the end of the battle royal ended up being teleported onto the giant podium located in the colosseum.

"Congratulation to you all, our devoted contestants!" – said Ande while flying above the players and using her mic to talk.

"This was an extremely entertaining event and I have you to thank you all, both the people that had qualified as well as those who had not."

"The 64 players you all see on the podium are the only players that had been qualified to the finals of the [First Event]!"

"Each and every single one of you can now participants in the final phase of the event and try to claim the main prize as well as all the glory!"

"As for the people that had failed to qualify, don't worry. We will probably another event in the future where you can show off."

"It maybe similar to this event, but it can also be totally different type of event, for example where only production classes users would compete."

"But the future events will be later and for now let's focus on the current event!"

"Once again, congratulation to all people that had managed to qualify to the finals!"

"…."

ClownFrog looked around, spotting some of the familiar faces.

(Oron, GreyHunt, Blueberry, Shri and Rampage…. All of those bastards got here…. Good.) – though ClownFrog.

(What about the others?)

"Now then, an official list of the final participants shall be announcement tomorrow." – said Ande.

"And as for important stuff, such as the time of the finals, it shall be held in eight days from now on, in real life time. Not counting today. Meaning that the players have 7 days of break and during the 8 day, the finals will be held."

"?!"

All the players, both on podium and stadium were completely catched off guard by the announcement.

"An eight?!" – said the player in the stadium.

"She said that they have 7 days of break… Meaning that they have 21 in game days, right?"

"But that isn't enough time for people to grow stronger. Maybe few levels, but still."

Players that had heard the announced began disgusting things.

The players who had also qualified had also began talking with each other, wondering and asking each other questions.

"Now then, before I will go, I will have to announce this as well." – shouted Ande, getting attention of everybody that were still shocked with the news.

"Unlike before, the full details of the event will be also made public, on how the elimination matches shall work. All the information shall be released alongside the list of the participants."

"So please check out the rules and everything as well as the dates to make sure that you will know everything."

"And without further ado, get ready you all, since it will be a big event!"

"…."

As soon as the announcement ended, the air among the participants grew thicker.

Players began glaring at each other.

Some were confided.

While some were noticeable stressed.

Some were excited.

While some were scared.

But one thing they all know was this.

A week.

Players have a week to prepare.

It wasn't enough time to level up many times, but they were still given time that they will need to use to either rest up, or prepare themselves.

And after the week, the final will finally start where among those 64 players will be only one winner.
