The Immortal Player

"Expert Brother... Can I ask you a question?" Mathew approached Pedro who was picking up some herbs.

"What is it?"

"The... The relationship between you and that girl is... permanent? I mean~"

"Yes!"

"Hoo..." Mathew exhaled heavily as he was making a major decision in his life. "Then, I am considering joining your gaming studio, if my salary would be as what you said with your previous offer of twice my current salary... And..."

"And?"

"I must bring her along with me! I mean... we are currently in a contract with another gaming studio. We need some money to settle with the contract issues." Mathew explained with a nervous look.

'I feel bad leaving the Pan-cit gaming studio, however... this Expert brother is someone extraordinary! First, activating S-class chain quest... Now, 'adopting?' an Overpowered NPC? Coincidence? I doubt it! More or less, he is hiding something... a connection with the game developers? Whatever it is, my guts tell me that If I join expert brother... something great will happen!'

"Ok!" Pedro agreed without batting an eye as he casually continued picking some herbs.

"You agree? that fast?"

"I see no reason to disagree with your request. Besides... Your salary is not a problem!"

"Ehh..."

"You see brother... Killer smile~"

"You can call me Mathew."

"Then, Mathew..." Pedro glanced to Mathew with a serious look. "I choose players based on two criteria. Loyalty, and Potential."

"No wonder, you accepted my offer without a second thought."

"Well..." Pedro smiled to Mathew as he went to the next herb to gather.

"???"

"Anyway, Stop calling me an expert brother... You can just call me... Aron!"

"Then, I look forward to working with you, Brother... Aron!"

"Same, Vice Guild Leader Mathew!" Pedro smirked as he dusted his hands and shook hands with Mathew.

...

Somewhere in an open plain, a group of players was traversing through as Wild boars fought with Wild packs of wild mountain wolf.

"ROAR!" An 'Alpha Male' mountain wolf charged towards the group as the other wolf followed. The Alpha Male mountain wolf has a scar on its snout that seemed to be scratched by a claw. Its body build was larger than the usual wolf.

"Waaaaa! Everyone! Protect me from that scary monster!" A girl player named 'Love' pointed in the

"You have guts wolf!"

"My life is for Love!"

"for Love!"

"for Love!"

The young-looking players who seemed attracted to 'Love' moved in front without a second thought. Those young-looking players circling the nine players in the center moved to intercept the charging wolf.

"Tsk... Using your charms! You AIRPORT!" Another beautiful girl mocked beside her.

"You're just jealous, 'ILLUSION'! What kind of name is that? It has no charms or whatsoever..." Love mocked in return.

"You!!"

"Ahhhh!" The argument between Love and Illusion was immediately halted as one of the 'young-looking' players died.

"RUN!" A girl player named Direction Idiot shouted as she ran through another clear path through the plains. The other six players followed immediately as Love and Illusion stared to each other.

"Leave now our princess! We shall delay these monsters until you are in a safe distance!"

"Yeah!"

"YEAH!"

"You guys..." Love was speechless as the players intercepting the wolves fall one by one.

"GO! GO, PRINCESS!" The players shouted as Illusion ran and startled Love.

"Tha... Thank you, guys!"

"Aaaaaw!" The players were more motivated after Love made a wink to them before she left.

"FOR PRINCESS!"

"FOR PRINCESS!"

"ATTACK!"

The players attacked simultaneously that effectively delayed the wolves' advance. The gap between the nine players and the wolves increased by a hundred meters. Unfortunately, at this point, the wolves have annihilated the players who bought some time for the group of nine to escape.

"Sh*t! Sh*t! RUN! RUN!" Another girl player named 'Hope' uttered as the wolves chased them and the gap they built was being closed each second.

...

"Aaaaah!" Love screamed as the 'Alpha Male' mountain wolf was just a few meters behind her.

"Don't worry Charlotte! I'll save you!" A player named 'Faith' halted and charged to the Alpha Male Mountain Wolf to save player "Love".

"Thank you, teammate Aldo!" Love winked at Faith as he Intercepted the Wolf.

'I just hope that you guys will be able to meet brother Pedro and escape! I'll try my best to buy some time!'

Aldo took out his newbie sword as he dashes towards the wolf. The wolf launches a bite to Aldo as he planted his foot in the ground. When its snout was inches away from his body, Aldo exerted full force to his feet and hopped to the side.

"Yaaaaaaaaah!" Aldo grasped the newbie sword as tight as he can and slammed it straight to the wolf's head.

His face went grim as soon as he saw measly damage he induced to the wolf. The wolf stared at him with a smug as if saying 'Is that all you can do?'.

'Sh*t! I'm dead!'

Fwoooosh!

Two pen-knife flew straight into the wolf's eyes as blood splattered out from it. Although the damage is not high, Injuries can still be made like in real life. However, some monsters have regeneration capabilities to recuperate the damage they attained. Fortunately, most of the carnivorous monsters were focused on damage and only second in such abilities. Hence, the wolf can't heal its eyes.

"Awooooooo!" The Alpha male mountain wolf cried as his pack approaches from behind.

"Oh no!" Aldo tried his best to run. Unfortunately, the claws of the Alpha Male Mountain wolf was inches away from his back.

"Sorry brother Pedro... I have wasted 'Faith' IGN!" Aldo whispered in an embarrassed manner. He knows to himself that he has almost to nothing in terms of skills and experience in playing AVR Games and could only utilize his gaming experience on other types of games to survive in the environment of Bearth.

Boom!

Suddenly a little girl with green hair appeared behind Aldo. Her punch sent the Alpha Male mountain wolf flying meters away. When the wolf landed it rolled a few more meters until it lies on the ground, unconscious.

"Step aside! You're in my way human!"
