บท 8: The Outrageous Quest

"This is… the Gladiator's Colosseum?" I voiced dumbstruck as I recognized the arena I had only seen through pictures online.

"Did I get teleported to Italy?" I wondered as I scanned the ancient place under constricts from the outer world.

Fwoom~

Numerous people were materializing the same way as I was, shocked and lost.

Most didn't seem to be ready for the quest and the system that had appeared before them either.

They probably thought it was a game and were still inside the Emberhorn.

Yes… Considering how real the stimulation from EmberGear was, it was totally plausible to scan the whole room and make such a design to make it seem as if you were ejected from the game when, in fact, you were still playing.

But nobody can afford that.

Nobody would deem it as a necessary project or test to conduct on people either.

"Huff, huff…" My panting breaths disturbed my focus on the world surrounding me.

Am I having a panic attack for being out in front of people looking like this? I questioned within myself as I looked at my body. My belly fat slipped out of my dirty shirt from chips crumbs and oil whereas, on my lower body, I had some shorts that reached under my knees.

It was the starter pack to be announced as a RoastCord Moderator, or a pedophile, or a freak, or a stalker, or a disgusting human being.

Well, at this point I can't even refute the last one.

[~Quests~]

{ [First Quest - Main Quest]

[Details: Deal damage to other players (000/100)]

[Success: 15 Stats Points + Potions]

[Failure: Death]

[Time Limit: 55 Minutes] }

Shit, five minutes have already gone by since we materialized here.

"E-Everyone, you don't intend to fight, right?" A scrawny guy with a pale expression stuttered as he first took the initiative to be the center of attention.

"Of course not…" A big, ripped guy with muscles and red hair slowly approached him, "Was that what you expected me to say?" He voiced as he stretched his hand out to the pale guy, holding him by his throat.

"Kgh, p-please don't–?!" He struggled to free himself from the red-haired's hold, although, they were total opposites.

One was buff and gigantic towards the tiny and indoor guy.

The difference was magnanimous.

"Oh, I definitely would!" He yelled out as he smashed the pale guy's head to the ground, blood spluttering everywhere, washing his arm in crimson.

Ding.

The notification sound entered my brain as the sight before me left me breathless in fear.

[Cristopher Noar has cleared the quest!]

[Cristopher Noar is released and free to return.]

[Cristopher Noar returns in: 00:05 Minutes]

"..."

Everyone was left jaw-agape as they stared at the scene.

It was quiet.

"Watch your backs out, hehe." He scoffed as he slightly licked the thumb with the tip of his tongue, making his dematerialization all the more relieving and breath-returning.

"He killed the damned guy…" I whispered to myself in surprise.

Just like that, a guy was killed in front of my eyes.

My knees had already given out when that thing closed his distance with him.

What would've happened to me if I spoke first…?

[Mythical Race Attribute: (Rationality) Is in effect.]

"Huff, huff, hah…" My breathing got quieter as I calmed down both physically and mentally, my heart gaining a steady amount of beats per minute too.

"Raagh!" A screech entered my eyes.

A girl was holding her eye which was popped by a guy holding a pen.

[Damage Dealt: +34]

I gazed at the system pop-up that had appeared behind the guy's back.

He needs only 66 more to clear the quest.

I cannot be left behind.

Ding.

[Punishment for lack of action: -30 Minutes]

[Time remaining to clear quest: 20 Minutes]

"Huh!?" I gazed at the notification stupified.

"Fuck!"

Let's do this damned mission.

I got my S-Grade Dagger after all… Oh?

I had only realized that I have a hacked system.

{ [Username: Nord]

[Level: ????] - [Stat Points: ?????] - [Exp: ?????????/?????????]

[Race: Mythical]

[Job: Adventurer]

[Weapon: Mythic Killing Dagger(S-Grade)]

[Modifier(s): The Serpentine Slayer]

[HP: 1500▴▾/1500▴▾] -- [MP: 600▴▾/600▴▾]

[Strength: 102 ▴▾] -- [Agility: 102 ▴▾] -- [Sense: 85 ▴▾] -- [Vitality: 102 ▴▾] -- [Intelligence: 105 ▴▾] }

The stats I currently have are displayed the same way as I had them in-game… but are they still valid?

I have 600 Mana/Magic Power.

I'll use a spell I haven't in a long time.

"I'll try to take this guy out…" I didn't mean killing him.

I'll do damage to numerous people so I can clear the quest without killing one. I don't want to soil my hands from so early on.

I used my thumb as a crosshair with my stretched index finger out as I curled the rest after them.

I'll use this mana bullet.

[Bullet Whirl]

A small blue blaze the size of a bullet appeared in front of my index finger.

I could feel the fire's desire to burn and destroy everything it touched, it was just waiting for me to choose its direction.

"There." I charged up the bullet and just like in the game, I felt it leave my body in a quick motion, consuming the required amount of mana to activate the spell.

Phwuoom~

A high-pitched noise took cover of the arena before, "Graghhh!? Aggh! It hurts, help, help!" the guy's full body was caught in blue flames.

[Damage Dealt: +1]

[Damage Dealt: +2]

Damage points accumulated within seconds.

"Oh shit I don't want to kill the guy!?"

I quickly conjured a simple water spell and swooshed it his way while willing for the bullet whirl to go away.

"Phew…" It seemed to go out, "What the fuck!?" except it didn't.

[Bullet Whirl Description: A hungry blue flame that doesn't go out unless the target has died.]

"My treat!" A guy who had taken a rock from the ground smashed my target's head in.

[Contribution Damage: +15]

Fuck… I basically killed that person.

"Huh? If I got contribution damage then…?"

[Finishing Damage: +30]

He got 30 damage points?!

Fuck, three people are gone now, two are dead, and one cleared the quest. There are only seven people left and I've got 40 points only…

"How am I going to survive this without killing anyone?"
