[VRMMO] Dead One

["Okay, let's go over the basics,

shall we?"]

["The first phase of the tournament will be an

battle royal, an culling game where the goal will be to reduce the number of

the teams down to 4 teams."]

["The each team will be assigned to the random map

alongside few other teams, meaning that you won't be fighting every single team

out there during your first phase."]

["The map borders will be shrinking over time

and the people who end up inside the said border, will result in the damage

over time status that will be getting stronger the longer you stay inside of it."]

["To eliminate the opposing team, you will need

to eliminate EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE TEAM!"]

["If even single member remains, the team would

be still consider "alive", so take this as an note."]

["And that pretty much all important stuff you

need to know."]

["If you wish to review the rules or look

deeper into the informations, then use the special provided menu that has

multiple function."]

["Get ready you all."]

["As soon as the clock you see hits the zero,

the game will start, so you all better prepare!"] – said the announcer Ande

before then disappearing like an firework.

"…"

"So…. An alliance?" – asked Mug.

"Yea sure. Let's not get in each other way

unless we have to." – replied ClownFrog.

"Anyway, question."

"How the hell did you recruited Dance? Are you

friends or something?"

"Well…. It's quiet long story." – said Dance.

"Simple out, because of the circumstances,

quest and some other bullshit we ended up spending a lot of time together."

"And pretty much before we knew it, we became

somewhat "friends"."

"That is short and nutshell version."

"Hmmm… Okay." – replied ClownFrog.

"Welp, I guess it's my time for question." –

said Mug.

"Say, how the hell do you feel?"

"I mean, "an first king" and "an first emperor"

player."

"Well...…..Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm….. It is good….." –

replied ClownFrog.

"But…. A lot of paper work right now, since an

new kingdom that also got turned into new empire from get go, as well as the

fact that post war and even reconstruction and some other annoying stuff…"

"Pretty much, I'm buries under the paper work right

now… So, yea…. No fun right now."

"There are also few other problems, like pirates,

bandits, straight up terrorist or the mentally unstable church fanatics."

"…. Yea…"

"…"

"So, was it worth it or not?" – asked Dance.

"Well, yea. If I'm completely honest, it was

worth it and it will be definitely far more worth it as the time goes by."

"Why are asking? Curios? Or are you planning on

making your own kingdom?"

"Well… I honestly don't know…. My current situation

is bit weird…Well, if we have sometime or if I visit your empire than we can

talk." – replied Mug.

"Hm… Okay." – replied ClownFrog.

"But for now let's focus on the tournament."

The time went by and the clock hit 0.

[WARNING!]

[WARNING!]

[The timer had reached it limit.]

[The tournament shall be now starting.]

[All player will be transported to their corresponding maps.]

[Please stand by.]

"…"

"Welp, I guess its finally starting." – said ClownFrog.

"Hey, you bastards, I just dare you to get eliminated from get go."

"PFFF!"

"Who do you think I'm fucker. I'm going straight to the finals like last time." – said Dance while flipping off ClownFrog.

"Heh. We will see about it." – said ClownFrog before moments later all players across the map were teleported.

After getting transported out of the lobby, the players found themselves placed all across different copies of the same map.

"FUCKING FINALY!" – shouted Shri.

"Jezus! I mean, how long these people were going to chase me for?! Were they only there to annoy me?! Or were they some sort of obsessive fans?!"

"…"

"Yea…. There was also few "perverts" ..." – said Rampage.

"Step on me, sit on me, squish me, slap me….. Jezus, there was a lot of them." – said Shri.

"…"

"Yea…. I'm glad that I hid away with Oron…. Wow…. I really now don't want to hold anything like an "fan meeting" now or ever…." – said GreyHunt.

"…"

"So… The match started….. So, do we go with an bang?" – asked Rampage.

"Oh yea, that was the plan." – said ClownFrog as he immediately stared the summoning process.

…

Even though it was just an first phase of the tournament…. An chaos erupted.

The Purple Hyena guild completely devastated the entire map with their own power while being accompanied by the giant army of monsters.

And because of that, their maps were one of the first maps to finish their matches.

However, it wasn't just their map that was an "instant chaos".

Many different maps were also enveloped completely in chaos.

The teams that consisted of the "strong member" pretty much made themselves known as they "destroyed everything" around themselves.

There were obviously some maps that were…. "Peaceful", while some others were more competitive.

But overall, the entire thing, the entire phase can only be called "chaotic". So chaotic to the point describing each individual match would take ages to describe and stuff, while pretty much all the stuff happening on all the maps like said before: Chaotic.

And there was an obvious reason why this phase was called "culling" phase.

It was meant to cut down as many "weak" player as possible, just like during the first tournament.

Pretty much, this is an nutshell version of the whole first phase.

Culling out the weak had happened.

And so, the very chaotic first phase of the tournament had ended.

*Huff* *Huff*

"THE FUCK WAS THAT?!" – shouted the player on his knees.

"Yea…. That was scary as fuck…." – said the lizardman player.

"Why the hell we got parried up with the Purple Hyena?!"

"Hell! It felt like we were doing some sort of dungeon raid or maybe an boss raid at the same time…."

"…. Should we give up?" – asked the female ork player.

"I-I mean! We only survived because we got lucky!"

"…"

"Yea…. I don't really know if I want to continue or not." – said the player who was on his knees.

TERROR.

This was the only experience felt by the people who were on the same map with the Purple Hyena.

Countless hordes of monsters that were hunting players and hunting them like preys who were being led by the core members of the Purple Hyena guild that were able to slay countless players all on their own without even using half of their power.

An total dominance and destruction had occurred.

3 player teams that were left didn't survived because they were "smart" or "strong". It was just pure luck.

["And there! The last match has ended!"] – said Ande that had reappeared suddenly mid air alongside few screens that appeared across the map.

["Congratulations to all 128 player teams that had managed to make their way through the culling game."]

["With that, the first phase of the tournament, the "culling battle royal" has ended."]

["And now, it is time for the announcement."]

["Or you could call it the real start of the second tournament event."]

["Anyway, first thing first."] – Ande snapped her fingers and several list appeared in front of all the players that were left on the area.

["The things that should appear in front of you are the list of the teams that had made their way to second phase of the event."]

["Now, it is time for the shuffle."]

["What kind of shuffle you are speaking?"]

["Well, an team forming shuffle!"]

["The second phase of the tournament will be an team battle between 4 different teams, an battle royal between 4 teams that each consist of the 32 player teams."] – said the announcer, instantly confusing and getting many player curios, especially those who bear the title of the ranker.

["Now, you are wondering how the grand teams will be formed."]

["And like I said before, there will be an "shuffle"."]

["Each grand team will be randomly put together."]

["And without further ado, let's begin."]

The names of each team appeared on the giant board before moments later the board collapsed while the name themselves started flying around, forming an pseudo sphere.

Moments later all of the team names shot up in the sky before then they all came down, stacking up on top of each other and forming 4 separated columns.

["And this is the end of the shuffle!"]

["Now, these four columns that you see are the four grand teams that had been formed."]

["Blue Tiger, Red Shark, Green Dragon and Yellow Hawk."]

["These four teams will be competing among themselves in the second part of the event called- "]

["The kingdom fight."]

["Each team members will receive an special access to their respective team chat as well as few other functions."]

["Each player will also receive an Email with an instructions as well as the overview of the whole event as well what will be going on and there will be also the same information posted online on the official website."]

["This event server lobby will be operational for some time, so you can maybe meet face to face with your other teammates. The players that wants to meet with their teammates right now can be teleported to the different part of a map where each player teams had gathered, you will have an icon button with your corresponding faction, just press it."]

["And that is it all from me!"]

["Ande out!"]

["And we shall meet when the time for the second part of the event shall come!"] – said Ande before then disappearing like an firework.

"…"

"Huh…. Well, isn't this an interesting turn of the events?" – said ClownFrog while smiling.
