Kapitel 17: Chapter 16- Realistic Logic

Zach finally got back to the entry of the dungeon where Shay and Kayden were waiting for him.

"Yo! What took you so long?" Kayden asked with a concerned look on his face.

'I can't tell them the truth. If I do, then I will have to explain everything, including my past and all,' Zach thought to himself.

Kayden wasn't aware of Zach's past because he met Zach after his father died.

"I was having a hard time," Zach replied. "What about you guys? How long did it take for you two to clear the first five floors?"

"It took me 48 minutes. And after seeing the next quests, I was interested in going further, but I didn't want to die, so I retreated," Kayden replied. Kayden still wasn't totally convinced that Gods' impact was real. However, he didn't want to risk dying to prove it.

"I cleared them just a few minutes ago," Shay replied in a disdainful tone.

"..." Zach was genuinely surprised by Shay's answer. 'I was expecting Shay to be the first one to clear since he is a gaming nerd.'

"My HP is also down to only 33," Shay added. "We should buy some HP potions from the shop on our way."

"Yeah, let's go."

All three of them headed to the town. However, they were awed by the scenery of the sunset.

"I have played all the VR games, but this one has the best graphics," Shay commented.

'It's created by gods. They created the real world, so what do you expect?' Zach uttered inwardly.

As they were walking, Zach realized something. He furrowed his brows and wondered, 'I have a bad feeling about the HP potions.'

They reached the town and went straight to the gear shop.

"Welcome~!" The NPC greeted them.

"Isn't this a different NPC than it was at noon?" Kayden wondered.

"How can I help you?" the NPC asked.

"We are here for HP potions," Shay ordered.

"Potions? I am sorry, but we don't sell potions here," the NPC replied.

"Okay." Shay nodded and asked, "So where can we buy them?"

The NPC stared at Shay for a while and said, "Dear player, you won't find potions anywhere in this world."

'I knew it!' Zach facepalmed himself. 'If this game truly follows the rules of real-world, then potions shouldn't exist.'

"What?!" Shay shouted. "Then how are we supposed to heal ourselves?!"

"You can either go to the church where there is an NPC healer available all the time, or you can find a player who is a healer to get yourself healed," the NPC replied without stuttering.

They then left the store and made their way to the tavern, where other players had gathered.

"Dammit! I hate this game!" Shay shouted in frustration.

"Come on. It's not that bad," Kayden uttered. "Right, Zach?"

'Don't involve me in this!' Zach sighed and said, "This game follows realistic logic, so I don't see a problem. As long as we can heal ourselves, I don't care."

Shay was furious to the point where he wanted to sue the game developer for virtual aggression with emotions and anxiousness. He was angry because his knowledge of VR games was losing its value. He was furious because things weren't going his way. He was mad because there were too many strict rules and limitations in this game.

"But 'healing' itself is an unrealistic logic. Magic, monsters, and gods don't exist in real life. So if this game truly wants to be realistic, then it should stop being a game," Shay commented with his voice full of annoyance.

'Oh, they do. Magic, monsters, and gods, they all exist. I am the proof of that,' Zach uttered to himself. He wanted to say that to Shay and Kayden, but they lived in a world where the people who believed in magic and such things were laughed at.

After reaching the tavern, they called out for a healer, but unfortunately, no healer was present.

Mage and Healer were secondary classes where the player needed to be level 10. Not many players had leveled up to 10 yet.

"Well, we will go to the church," Kayden suggested. "But let's eat something first. I am exhausted and starving."

They ordered some old-school fantasy food and began eating it. Kayden was eating normally with manners, but Shay was taking out his anger on the food. Zach, on the other hand, was worried about his 1 HP.

Unlike other VR games, there was no safe zone for the players. The players could easily attack anyone without warning. However, the game did have a colored name bar that showed the status of the player.

If the player's name was green, then they hadn't killed other players or NPC.

If the player's name was blue, then they had killed the NPC. The blue name bar had three variants. One was light blue, which meant the player had killed less than 10 NPC. The second was standard blue, which meant the player had killed less than 100 NPC. The third was dark blue, which meant the player had killed more than 100 NPC.

If the player's name was red, then they have killed other players. The red name bar also had three variants. One was brownish-red, which meant the player had killed less than 10 players. The second was crimson red, which meant the player had killed less than 100 players. The third was scarlet red, which meant the player had killed more than 100 players.

Zach was worried that accidental or on purpose, a single hit might kill him. He planned to go to the church once he had finished eating, whether Shay and Kayden came with him or not.

After a while, a girl wearing a black and white dress entered the tavern with a staff in her hand.

As of the first day of the Gods' impact, she was the one and only player with healer class in the game. Most people ignored the healer class and chose other classes as their secondary class. There were HP potions in most VR games, which made the healer class was the least wanted class. But there was no HP potion in Gods' Impact, making the healer class the most wanted class of all.

Not many players knew about it yet, but when they heard about it, they chose healer as their secondary class. Each party wanted a healer with them, and guilds had opened up special recruitments for them by giving them fancy rewards as an incentive.

Some players later became healers so that they could earn easy money by healing players.

Kapitel 18: Chapter 17- Shay Ramsay

A girl wearing a black and white dress entered the tavern with a staff in her hand. She had ivory-colored hair and green eyes. She looked to be in her late teens, but at the same time, she gave off a mature vibe.

She was the one and only player with healer class in the game.

"..."

Zach raised his brows and wondered, 'If she is a healer, then she has to be more than level 10. Which means she must have cleared more floors than me.'

Zach was a little surprised as he never thought he would meet people who could be more skilled than him. However, she could have cleared the floors with someone else's help. Who knows, maybe she was more than just a player?

The girl sat on the empty table in the corner and ordered her food. She ordered pineapple pie and strawberry milkshake.

"..." Zach shrugged his shoulders and thought, 'What's with that order? Is she a kid or what?' He scoffed.

Suddenly, Shay stood up and started walking towards the girl.

"Hey, Shay," Kayden called out to Shay and asked, "Where are you—"

"She is obviously a healer. So I am going to ask her to heal me." Shay answered and walked to the girl.

The girl was enjoying her food with a gentle smile on her face. She was dipping the slices of pineapple pie in the strawberry milkshake and eating it without any second thoughts.

Zach didn't want to judge the girl as he also had a weird habit of mixing up foods. He once ate chips after dipping them into lemon juice. However, seeing the girl eating like that reminded Zach of his little sister— Zoe.

Zach knew it wasn't her at first glance, as Zoe hated games more than he did. And even if there were a slight chance of that girl being Zoe, Zach would have recognized her instantly.

Gods' Impact didn't have many customization options, and all the players looked exactly the same as they looked in the real world.

Shay approached the girl and slammed his hand on her table with a loud bang. He looked at the girl with a frowned face and ordered, "I want you to heal me."

The girl was about to take a bite, but she stopped and looked at Shay from the corner of her eyes. "Can't you see I am busy eating here?"

"I don't care! If I ordered you to heal me, then you have to heal me," Shay asserted with a furious look on his face.

The girl squinted her eyes and waved her hand at Shay. "Get out of my sight. I don't want to heal you."

"What did you say?!" Shay shouted and grabbed the girl's hand.

So far in his life, Shay had gotten everything he wanted. He was born rich. Both his mother and father were busy with their work, so the servants took care of him. He had access to his parent's money, and he could use them however he wanted. Even a few millions were like cents to him and his parents. If he wished for something to happen, it would happen. No one has ever dared to go against his wish, but that wasn't the case now.

He was no longer in the real world, where he could use his parents' names to get away with everything. Nor his status or value mattered. However, he was still rich, so he thought he could get anything he wanted in Gods' Impact as well.

The girl grabbed the glass filled with strawberry milkshake and spilled it all over Shay's face. Then, she pulled her hand from Shay's grasp and uttered, "If you don't know how to request something from someone, then you better stop speaking."

"Zach! Zach!" Kayden whispered violently. "What should we do now? It would be bad if Shay ended up doing something to her."

Zach glanced at the girl and let out a short sigh. Then, he turned to Kayden and replied, "I think it's for the best. Shay needs to learn that not everything belongs to him. He can't be a spoiled brat forever."

The same thing had happened last month. When Zach, Kayden, and Shay were eating food in the restaurant, Shay touched a waitress' butt. The waitress got agitated and slapped Shay on the spot. Unfortunately for her, the restaurant was owned by Shay's family.

She got fired, and her husband also lost his job when his boss got to know about the incident. More than half of the city was under Shay's family control. If they wished for someone to disappear overnight, they would never be seen again.

Everyone feared Shay's family. They were like a mafia of the city, and their influence was spread all across the country. As for how Zach became friends with someone like him, that is the story for another time.

"Do you know who I am?! I am Shay—"

Before Shay could finish his introduction, the girl stood up and walked out of the tavern.

"I have to admit, she has got guts," Kayden remarked as he watched the girl leave.

"Or maybe she is just a Karen," Kayden added with a scoff.

'How...?' Zach thought to himself.

Zach and Kayden walked to Shay and asked him to go to church to get healed. Zach also had to get healed, so the three of them made their way to the church after paying their bill.

On their way, Zach remembered he had forgotten to take his change from the tavern. He wanted to get Shay out from there as soon as possible, and he was also in a hurry to get himself healed.

"Come on. It's just ten bucks. Let it slide," Kayden uttered.

"No, no. I am going back." Zach turned around and said, "You two, go ahead. I will meet you in the church."

However, everything was a lie. Zach wasn't the type of person who would forget anything related to money. He wanted to go back to the tavern to confirm something.

'I don't know what is bothering me, but I want to ask the girl some questions. How did she level up so fast? Even if she played in a mixed dungeon, reaching level 10 is…' Zach sighed and muttered, "It's not impossible since everyone trapped here are gamers who are used to playing games. They are familiar with everything, so it shouldn't be hard. While this is my first time, and I think I am doing pretty well for a newbie.'

"But if there is a better way to level up fast, then I would prefer that."

When Zach reached the store, he saw the girl sitting under the gazebo of the garden, eating cone crepe with a satisfied smile on her face.
