Chapter 2: Battle Against The PKers!
"You’ve got to be kidding me!" I mumbled, biting my lips as I found myself somewhat miserable.
The scream was a decoy—a trap I deliberately fell into. As a consequence, I got wrapped from neck to toe with a shining web—perhaps a magical item and high-graded nonetheless. The whole world had turned upside down as I was hanging on a tree branch.
"What a waste!" A voice filled with resentment came to my ears, "A small fry? I thought a whole party would be trapped. Seems like my efforts went in vain."
It was a beautiful woman wearing mage clothes who spoke that. Although I was hanging upside down, I could clearly see the irritation in her lustful eyes. She was utterly disappointed, yet a sinister smirk still lingered on her crimson lips.
Surely, she was a mage-class player. However, ’Witch’ might be a proper assertion for her description. Well yeah, she looked more like a witch than a typical mage.
"Now, now. Don’t be disappointed so soon. Even if it’s just a player, he still may have something valuable. Don’t you think?" said another player who appeared later. He might look shabby, but the aura around him spoke he wasn’t someone who should be poked easily.
"Or at least give him a chance to hand over his items." He drew his long sword.
’Damn! PKers?’ I frowned in exasperation.
Just my luck. Out of all the players in this game, I had to run into PKers. What a misfortune! They were even worse than facing a high-ranked monster.
’Come to think of it, what are the possibilities of the rumors being false statements spread by these PKers? I mean, with those rumors, players can easily be lured in just like me.’
The thought took over me. While the chances were slim, it could be the case after all.
