Eternal World Online: The Rising of Chaos Knight

Chapter 4, Part 8: The Truth

"Yes, long time no see, Hema," said someone right beside the exit, making me immediately pull the Chaos Sword and stop Fina's steps with my left hand. Fina was surprised because I stopped her steps earlier, but when she saw that person, her face was immediately filled with fear again.

"What do you want now, Gorgo?" ask her. Well, that guy is a Gorgo. He had also previously wanted to kidnap Fina, but I managed to thwart him.

"Calm down, I have no intention of fighting with you" Gorgo replied. "It looks like this young lady is afraid of me huh?" he looked at Fina.

"That's because you wanted to kidnap her!" sahutku.

"What did you say? I just want to save that girl" she replied.

"Don't switch topics! What's your goal this time!?" my many.

"Huft.. Can't you calm down?" reply to him and take something from his Inventory, then throw it at Fina. "Young lady, I have business with this Hero of yours, so use that Crystal and return to your home firstwell!" continued.

Fina then looked at me. I smiled and said, "Go, Uncle Raven is waiting for you to return."

"But..how about Master Hero?"

"I'll be fine, don't worry. I have business with him too."

"Okay, please come back safe! Teleport, Everland City!" After saying so, Fina used the Teleport Crystal and disappeared from there. Then, I looked at Gorgo sharply.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" I said.

"Before, I wanted to ask you. What happens to this body after we log out?" ask Gorgo to start a conversation.

"Isn't that clear? When we log out, this body will disappear."

"But unfortunately it's not like that" explained Gorgo. I who heard it was surprised. Then Gorgo continued his words, "When we do Logout, this body will remain here. While his soul will return to the Player's body in the real world."

"Wait, what do you mean? A soul? Going back? Real world?" I said confusedly.

"Don't you think, why is it that when we do Login we're always hungry?" ask Gorgo back and make me think. All this time the status I got was given to leave an impression of reality, so I didn't think too much about it. But if that's true then this game, not this world, is the world itself? A world created in a virtual world?

"Five years ago, a tool called Ether Maxy was invented. It is the first generation Full-Dive tool to dive into the virtual world. Then a game called Dragon Hunter Online was released and managed to attract millions of people in the world. But six months after it was released, there was a problem." Gorgo looked at me as if asking me to try to guess the problem. I know what the problem is, because I always don't miss the news.

So I tried to guess, "Thousands to hundreds of players are in a coma?"

"That's right," he said as if justifying my guess. "But not only coma, some of them also experienced death. Because of this, the developer plans to do their best so that those who are in a coma can return. As a result, they managed to wake up those who were in a coma with the help of someone."

"What does this have to do with the world?" manya curious.

"The developer does not know at all, if before the comma players are awakened, someone has copied the souls."

"Wait a minute! Copy the soul? Isn't that impossible?" cut me.

"That sounds impossible, but not to the person. After doing so, he decided to leave the developer company. Then he tried to create a new world for the soul he had copied, then made them think that it was their new world.

After a while, he secretly tried to recruit some people he trusted. Then tell me about the big project with pride. Some of them are interested, then there are also those who are not interested and decide to return. Because this is a big project he has and he doesn't want this to spread either. The person threatens to kill all those who are not interested in his project without remaining, if one of them exists to spread it secretly.

The four of them finally decided to meet and make an observation plan. If the project is dangerous, it must be stopped. Therefore, after several meetings and meetings, they decided to send one of them as an observer there." Gorgo told him about it, then he looked at the area because he felt someone was watching. I feel the same way, I try to look around. But, Gorgo immediately told me that it was Zeldra. That means Zeldra's around here and sure enough, I found him in a cargo hold waving his hands.

"Chaos Swords? But why would he make such a mess?"

"That's because he got his past memories. A memory that he should be in the real world and not in this world. As a result, he was a fugitive of every kingdom for hundreds of years and even his body was not found. He hid while looking for a successor he could rely on in order to protect this world. He no longer decided to try to get out as players started popping up and killing the AI in this world.

Not only that, the players who did not know anything continued to do damage and chaos to this world. The city guards always tried to stop them, but the players fought back instead. He is eager to help them, but he is still a fugitive for hundreds of years. That's why he decided to look for a successor. First, he gave her the Chaos Sword and sold it for a high price, then you bought it. Then when there's an AI in trouble, you come and still help even if he can't give you any gifts in return. He decided to give Chaos Light Armor to you."

"Then you told your men to kidnap Fina, did she also give Uncle Raven the Chaos Crown?" my spoken.

"I told you it was just a misunderstanding, right? Huft.well, he also gave it to her. Is that the person you were referring to the young Miss's father?" reply asked.

"Well, that's how. Zeldra! I wanted to ask you something, so could you come here for a second?" I said and shouted to Zeldra. In an instant, he was already right in front of me. I was a little surprised and took a few steps back.

"What are you calling me?"

"Can you not surprise me? Hey Gorgo, can't he talk normally? If so, can I kill him?" ask me in jest.

"Wait on! What are you saying!?"

"Well, of course. I don't mind at all," Gorgo replied giving permission.

"Gorgo why are you too!?" Zeldra immediately showed a gloomy face after hearing our words.

"Well, let's ignore that joke. Can you tell me where you got this Chaos Armlet?" my many.

"Huft. So what do I have to tell myself?" ask Zeldra to Gorgo. Gorgo just nodded in agreement.

"All right, self-"

"Speak normally!" cut me to brandish the Chaos Sword to him.

"That was no joke!!" zeldra said, seeing that Gorgo was only holding back his laughter. After he agreed, I put the Chaos Sword back in its sheath and allowed him to speak to explain everything.

Zeldra said that he was only told by a man in a black robe. But after knowing what he wanted and giving up the Chaos Armlet, Zeldra thought it was the Super AI. But just as he wanted to ask further, the man disappeared instantly.

"So it seems" I said after hearing an explanation from him.

"Ah, I almost forgot to tell you this. But Gorgo, that's when I met adi-"

"You met my sister! Why don't you say it!!" cut the Gorgo when you hear it.

"Wait, sister? She got a sister?"

"Well, if it's not wrong here, it's Zeya" Zeldra said. At first glance I tried to remember his name and as I remembered it I stared flatly at Gorgo as if in disbelief.

"Sorry to ask this. But Gorgo, could you be a ga-"

"I'm a man!" cut it.
