Chapitre 40: Chapter 39- Be a God
Kyle soared through the clouds as his body trembled in fear.
[What was that?] Kyle wondered. [Why is my body trembling? Is this fear?]
[I… am afraid? Me? The next god?] Kyle clenched his fists in frustration and muttered, [But why?]
[That glare… the gaze… those eyes…] Kyle gulped down in fear and muttered, [It was the same feeling as when I am in front of the gods. When they look at me.]
[No…] Kyle uttered in a trembling voice. [It was more powerful. His gaze was more potent than the gazes of 12 gods combined.]
Kyle gazed down in the direction and wondered, [Who is that mortal?]
Gathering his courage, Kyle flew down and saw all the players and NPCs were now standing and looking at him. He glanced around the horde to search Zach, and he found him standing in the last row.
'Huh? What's this? He is still looking at me, but I don't feel any fear. I don't feel that murderous raging glare anymore…'
Kyle scoffed and announced with a smirk on his face: [I have come with a message from the gods.]
Kyle was everywhere but nowhere at the same time. His figure was visible in all the realms and kingdoms, but his real body was still in heaven.
[The gods want you mortals to take this world seriously. If you don't, you will end up dead like many others.]
"Fuck off! This prank is going too far!" one of the players yelled.
"The government will punish you!"
[Why would a mortal punish me? My lords are the gods, and I am their servant. I only obey their commands.]
"What is the meaning of trapping us in a game against our will?!" Another player asked.
[If gods want something, it happens. No questions asked. What about you, mortals? Answer me, why are you favored by the higher gods?]
"If the gods truly favor us, then why have they trapped us here!"
[The answer is simple. When a child disobeys, they need to get disciplined. The same goes for you mortals. You forget that it is because of them— you exist. They could annihilate you all with a snap if they wanted. Yet, they are forgiving you.]
"Bullshit!" A player who looked to be in his late fifties came out of the crowd and yelled, "Gods don't exist, and they haven't created us."
[Such blasphemy…] Kyle shook his head in disbelief and asserted, [You mortals are not only ignorant, but you are clueless and arrogant too. You want to rule the world, but you don't want to be ruled.]
"Of course, we don't! We are on the top of the food chain!"
[Hmm…] Kyle hummed in wonder and said, [You mortals kill animals and eat them for food. Animals kill other animals and eat them for food. Insects eat other insects for food. That is your ecosystem. If one race goes extinct, the entire food chain will collapse, and that's how you will meet your end.]
"..."
[One after another. If plants cease to exist, the insects will die. If all the insects went extinct, the reptiles would starve and die. The rest of the food chain will follow.]
"...."
[Now answer me, mortals. What have you ever contributed back for the blessings given to you by the gods? Just as you are on top of the food chain of your world, the gods are higher than you, and their gods are higher than them.]
"Stop this boring ted-bullshit and tell us a way to get out of this game!"
[Heh!] Kyle smirked. [Hahahaha!]
"What's so funny?!"
[There is no way to get out of this world. This is your new world now, and this is where you all will die, sooner or later,] Kyle laughed aloud.
"You have got to be—"
[Silence! The gods want to speak something…]
After a brief silence, a bright light shined from the sky, and a voice echoed: [Mortals. There is a way to get out of this world, but you will have to work hard to do it. Your systems have been updated, and all the information is provided in the journal under the menu.]
After that, the light vanished, and so did the voice.
[Let me tell you the way to clear this game,] Kyle asserted. [Do you see the 'Physique' under your stats?]
"Yes."
"I do."
"Yup."
"Yeah."
"What about it?"
All the players started talking at the same time.
[If you have read the journal about this game, then you must know that you need to ascend to the higher realms, and for that, you will have to cultivate.]
"...!" After hearing the word cultivate, Zach furrowed his brows with a shocked expression on his face and uttered inwardly, 'Everyone can cultivate?'
[You need to cultivate your physique, and once you reach a certain physique rank, you will be allowed to ascend.]
'Oh! It's just body cultivation.' Zach sighed with a groan.
"How do we cultivate it?" a player asked.
[There are three ways to cultivate your physique. The first is to train hard and fight as many monsters as you can.]
"That sounds dangerous. What is the second way?"
[The second way is to complete the quests, and you will be given physique points as a reward.]
"Ain't no way I am doing that. What is the third way?"
[The third way is the mix of the first and the second way.]
There was utter silence for a minute before a player asked, "Why do we need physique to ascend?"
[The higher realms would be too dangerous for lowly mortals like you, so first, you need to get strong enough to survive in the lower realms. It is for your own good.]
"How much do we have to ascend to get back to our real world?"
[You should be able to see the realm names and the physique names in the journal. Each realm will have its own sub realms. In each realm, you will fight with new types of monsters. In the lower realms, the bosses will be angels. In the mid realms, the bosses will be archangels. And in the higher realms, the bosses will be gods.]
[However, once you have reached the mid realms, you will get access to a portal where the players will be given a choice; to either go back to their world or keep ascending to the higher realms.]
"Only an idiot will choose to fight the gods or stay in this world!" a player commented.
[The reward for beating the gods is quite tempting, you know?]
"Just for reference, what is the reward?"
"The player who beat all the gods and cleared this game… will get to be a new god, who can rule not only this world but your dying world too.]

Question- Any idea why there is 0 death count in this chapter? The answer is mentioned in the previous chapter.
Chapitre 41: Chapter 40- One More Week Has Passed
[Your MP regeneration will increase with your physique level. However, note that if your cultivation went wrong, your body in the real world would malfunction, and the link between your soul and your body will be severed. Meaning, you will die in both worlds. So don't rush to level up like an idiot, or you will die. Well, you are all going to die in the end, anyway.]
[Your physique points will automatically increase to 800 points. You will need to cultivate 200 points to awaken your cultivation system. You can gain 200 points by the three ways I stated not long ago.]
After insulting the players for some minutes, Kyle disappeared, and everyone returned to where they were.
The players who were in the dungeon and the tower were teleported back. And because of that, certain players were caught off guard and died from the monsters' attacks.
After Kyle's announcement, the players who were ignorant and oblivious before started taking the game seriously.
The players now had a reason and incentive to play the game and get stronger. They had a reason to go back to their world. All the players had new hope.
However, what about the NPCs?
Just like the players, they were also trapped in an unknown world, with no memories or life. They only had one goal, and that was to fulfill the role they were given.
It had been a week since Kyle's announcement, and the lifestyle of the players had drastically changed. However, there were still a few percent of players who didn't care about anything.
To them, the real world was hell. Some wanted to run away from their jobs, some from their family, some from their problems, while some from their lives.
To them, this world was heaven, and they were given a second chance to start over everything from scratch.
Zach was helping out Shay and Kayden with the dungeons from floor 5, and he did that for a week.
Shay leveled up to level 13, and Kayden leveled up to level 11. They were now able to fight alone without any need of Zach's help, at least to the lower floors.
In the nighttime, Zach would go to clear dungeons with Aurora and have a fun time, a pure one. Zach had Aurora had gotten a lot closer, and their Duo was absolute.
They had gotten used to each other's fighting styles, and both of them knew what attack the other one was going to use even before doing it.
Zach and Aurora cleared up to floor 50th in a week.
Zach leveled up to level 21 and Aurora to level 20.
Within a week, Zach had finished a couple of quests and gained rewards.
"Shall we go back now?" Aurora asked with a grin on her face.
"Yeah." Zach nodded and exited the dungeon with Aurora.
On their way back to town, Aurora furrowed her brows and pushed Zach to the side. Zach barely managed not to fall. He then dashed at Aurora and chased after her to take his revenge by pushing her down.
Aurora started running, but Zach tackled Aurora from behind and pinned her down.
Aurora's face flushed as she averted her face to avoid eye contact with Zach.
"Liar," she muttered.
Zach raised his brows with a confused look on his face and asked, "What? When did I lie?"
"You promised me you would come to cohabitate at my house with me after a week, but you never came," Aurora uttered in a disdainful tone.
"...." Zach didn't say anything and stared at Aurora.
Aurora was forced to look into Zach's eyes to see his reaction.
"I said it on the spur of the moment. After thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that living together is a bad idea," Zach asserted in a solemn voice.
"Why?"
"You are a girl, and I am a boy. Things can happen that we both might regret later on."
"Things like…?" Aurora asked with a curious yet calm look on her face.
"If you don't even know that, then I am glad I chose not to move in with you."
"Of course, I know what you are talking about!" Aurora yelled with her eyes closed. "Can't you see I am playing dumb?"
Zach stood up and uttered, "I almost forgot you are a girl, and girls are always like that."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing." Zach walked forward and said, "Let's go now. I am hungry."
Aurora followed Zach for a while, then asked, "Can I ask why you broke up with your girlfriend?"
"..."
"Come on. I am curious."
"Why?" Zach asked without looking back.
"It's hard to imagine you having a girlfriend with your personality," Aurora replied with a grin. She chuckled and said, "Come on! Tell me~ I am curious."
After a brief silence, Zach uttered, "It wasn't working out, I guess?"
"Meaning?"
"Our relationship was wild, to begin with."
"So… it was a toxic relationship?" Aurora asked with a calm look on her face.
"Worse than that…"
"What can be worse than a toxic relationship?"
"A loveless relationship." After a brief pause, Zah continued, "Well, the reason we broke up is that she was moving out."
"Moving to another city?"
"No."
"Another country?" Aurora guessed.
"No. She went somewhere far away."
Aurora's face turned pale after hearing that. She slowly gulped down and asked in a trembling voice: "I am sorry. I didn't know she died—"
"She isn't dead," Zach interrupted Aurora and uttered, "She went to mars."
"Oh!"
After that, Aurora didn't ask Zach anything. They went to the restaurant and ate dinner together.
'Now then. It is time to ascend to the first realm.'
