Chương 35: 34 . Metal Skull Faction

POV : Mikael

Mika could instantly recognize the shift in the environment as soon as he made his choice . For instance , the once silent room quickly disappeared only to be broken by the noise from the outside , the warm sunlight for some reason felt warmer and even the dull room seemed to come alive .

It felt like he had been isolated for that specified moment but now he had finally arrived into the random world . And it was an interesting concept to Mikael . To create an entire separate dimension in order to isolate a contestant . Did the system have any limitations .

From this small move , Mika had already come to a conclusion . What was the point of cutting of one of a contestant senses . In fact doing so had no benefit at all apart from making the contestant panicked .

A normal person if they were in the same scenario that Mika was , they would have probably experienced varying symptoms of nausea and imbalance if they stayed in that room for as long as Mika had done .

The system in Mika's own reasoning wanted to make the contestants to pick a side without thinking over it thoroughly because realistically , who could make a solid deduction of a situation while their own body was working against them . Not many could do so .

Mika did not mind though . The end results would not matter despite which side had more people . As long as they were his enemies , they would lose . That was a predetermined destiny for all who would go against him in the tower and outside .

His fist was clenched tightly as he smiled at the possible future challenge . Mika was excited with the possibility , the adventure , the shear unpredictability of the situation . The danger of dying at any possible time . It was exhilarating to him !

He picked up once more the piece of paper that had some last words written on it .

[[

RECEIVED LANGUAGE PACK FOR THE LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD WORLD

RECEIVED IDENTIFICATION TO BE UTILISED WITHIN THE WORLD

RECEIVED BASIC INFORMATION OF THE MISSION OBECTIVE

CONTESTANTS IS ABLE TO CHANGE THEIR PHYSICAL FEATURES IF THEY DESIRE . THE CHANGE WILL COST ACHIEVEMENT POINTS

]]

Going over the information the system had given him , Mika was a little worried but not that much . The only thing that was against his calculation was the presence of magic in this random world . The information had hinted at it but anythig else specific was not given .

The information did go with the story he had in his head . All parts that he remembered were there as he remembered , from the sick grand mother to the presence of a wolf . And to Mika , the wolf was the last of his worries . But the note of magic was worrying . Anything could happen . He just had to act as the situation presented itself .

Mika did not choose to change his appearance for now . It did not hold any purpose in doing so but he felt the time when he would do so was arriving . Like a creeping prediction he knew would happen soon . Sooner than later . He was not sure .

He stepped out from the room he was still staying in and wondered why no none came to check for his presence but immediately he walked out , he noticed the difference .

It seemed that the system still offered a form of protection until he left the room and when he left , that protection disappeared in the form of a white barrier .

" Renny , the last one is out , " A male voice belonging to one of the two people in the room called out . " Okay , give a minute I'm coming . " another male voice replied further back in the house in answer .

The male that had called out moved towards him and brought his hand for a hand shake . Mika replied with the same energy . The guy was smiling brightly the whole time and his handshake was even more enthusiastic .

He had nothing too striking about him apart from a red and white round sphere that was hung at his waist openly . There was also a charcoal colored skull tattoo exposed on his arm which was clearly visible due to his lack of any sleeves .

Mika was confused by the item but he would not lower his guard . He felt a rising tension in himself as he looked at the ball but he did not know why . Was it something dangerous , he could not tell and that only made him more cautious . There was no reason to act without knowing the danger a person possessed

" Hey new guy , my name is Vonack but you can call me von . Now that you're here we can start the mission . I'm already bored of staying here . " The handshake that was supposed to end did not stop and Mika was looking at the smiling dude weirdly .

" And by the way , I see you've also made use of the system's facial feature change . Don't worry , it's nothing to be ashamed of !! . Everyone uses it . Some more daringly than others but that is still okay !! " Von had let go of Mika's hand to give him a thumbs up with that stupid smile of his .

Mika did not know whether to feel insulted by what the guy was implying or amused . The fact that he doubted his perfect features were natural was what made him feel insulted . But he would not correct that fact . It was in his favor in fact .

If his face was too perfect to the point people thought it was caused by the system , to him that was a win win scenario . It was a perfect disguise in fact . A disguise that many would question whether it was real or not but could not come to an answer .

Mika would not let go of such an opportunity presented to him.

His otherwise amicable smile changed to a clearly embarresd one with a slight red dusting on his cheeks . He chuckled softly to emphasis being exposed and replied to the earlier greating .

" Thank you for the welcome . You can call me Loan . " He did not talk much . A short introduction with a fake name was enough with the character he was building .

One thing Mika remembered about giving out your name to strangers was what Zoe had told him back in the cave of genesis . About people being able to curse you with your name . It might have been a slip of the tongue on her part but to Mika those words were a warning and he would be foolish to dismiss them as simple paranoia .

He really needed to talk to Zoe

Zoe to him was a very interesting person . The way she behaved and acted were mysterious and both conflicting in a sense . The knowledge she seemingly possessed was even more Mysterious to Mika . And that was why he would trust her for now . He would wait until he peeled back each and every one of the hidden layer until he got to the final fruit .

She was just to interesting to let go and he was happy that he had found her depressed lonely self as soon as he had done so . It would make things easier for him

That was the main reason Mika would not give out his name so easily . He did not know what being cursed meant but he'd rather not find out so soon .

" HA HA HA . Good , good . Let me introduce you to your fellow beginer contestant Loan , But don't mind his attitude , He's a shy one . HA HA HA . His name is Zen " Von said pointing at the remaining figure in the room . His voice booming outwards with his boisterous laugh

How Mika knew he was Male , his sitting posture , it was that simple . The guy was covered fully in a black robe and hishead was lowered to the ground , possibly he preffered to keep to himself .

When he was mentioned by Von , he lifted his head slightly and gave a slight nod before going back to his own thoughts .

At that very moment , the final figure arrived into the room . His face looked like it was permanently serious and his walk was confident . He also had a similar tattoo of a skull on his arm but of a grey color same to the one as Von . Did it act as a form of ranking system . He could only guess

He walked until he was at the center of the room catching the whole of his attention . Even managing to stop Von from continuing to laugh .

His focus finally zeroed in on him an Zen fully and his eyes almost seemed to narrow in deep contemplation .

" Okay . The both of you will be assisting me and Von in compliting our main escort mission but before that . You will required to perform a chain of side quests which everyone will be asigned . But do not worry anything you aquire in tis side mission will remain yours , The Metal skull faction does not take the achievements of others . " Von clapped in agreement with Renny .

Mika was interested in the part Renny had said side quests could be assigned . Could contestants do such a thing ? How was that possible . Did he not know this information because he had completed the mission by himself in the terminator world . Was this how things were supposed to be ?
