The Sended's

Chapter 32: The Third Piece of Eleven

There was once a masterpiece in the game world a long time ago, a game that changed the shape and market of that industry forever with the utilization of new technology, virtual reality

Recorded the most sales in the history of this industry to reach hundreds of millions of buyers only in the early years, it is the biggest success that can be achieved by the company in the field

But a big incident happened

Suddenly for no apparent reason, simultaneously at one time the players who played the game just disappeared, leaving only virtual reality consoles alone

This mysterious incident eliminated about 90 million players online at the time, and of course made the game and its company closed

Since then the gaming industry that previously continued to rise, now seems to plunge down the cliff from that height

People are starting to not believe in new technology, the technology developers also have to revise their devices even though no errors are found, it costs a lot of course

Then because the public has judged poorly, many countries are closing the console access to enter their country. This further makes the game industry slumped, until in the end only a dozen remaining game manufacturers around the world

The point is that nowadays people do not play games anymore to pass the time, but of course there are still exceptions. For example, like me

I was one of the lucky ones to have the device to play VRMMORPG themed games which is already very rare because of the bad experience of the world in this industry is also caused by games with the same theme

But of course this time the game is safe, it has been ten years in operation there is still no very serious problem. Yet....

The game will close....

I spent a lot of money on this game so that I could become the main antagonist in there, my nicknames varied from Witch King to Demon King, he said, though I can only summon Undead like a necromancer in general

But with a much larger number of course so that I can build an underground city like this

Haha.

On my throne, I just sat down with some of my best summon creatures, thinking about what I would do if the game closed. Playing other games is not as fun as this game, especially I also have to spend money back

"So I need to work harder...."

"Or head for my world,"

That voice sounds foreign

I alerted all the summon creatures that were there, they followed the directions as I wanted

"Who is that?!"

Everything stopped, everything faded, I was as if standing on a puddle of water that was very calm when it was still the floor under my throne

Instructions from me cannot be passed on to my subordinates from the moment it stops

"We can speak now, I am a God but not of this world. My presence here is only as an offerer,"

"That sounds funny but I'll keep hearing you out as a form of respect,"

"Maou Chef,"

H-huh? He knows my name in the real world?! Shit, is he a hacker?! I never once said my name in cyberspace

I'm known as Diablo here, then how-so

"I offer you to go to my world, in exchange for whatever you ask I will give you but only this once,"

H-huh.now there is a scam like this apparently.

I'd better follow the plot

"I'm interested, well I'm going to move into your world, my request is to bring everything I have in this game to that world,"

"I'll give you, welcome,"

"E-uh? you're not asking for a down payment or anything?"

"I'm a God, I don't need that kind of thing,"

W-wah's....

"King!"

"Yes?"

"I thought we lost you,"

To lose? But I've been sitting here ever since

W-wait a minute....

Why can he speak? Then what was that worried expression? I didn't know there was a setting that could do this kind of thing

I tried to open the menu, it didn't work

How could? What the hell's going on? What kind of bug is this?!

"King?"

"W-well, yeah..."

Shit, this is awkward

She is Kyra, the creature I first summoned to fight by my side. He was the strongest among the others, even he was able to face several players at once

Maybe the game developer wanted to surprise us? Not in the stop but in the update. Is there really such a thing?

I think yes, because there are still bugs post-update like this disappearing menu

But to be honest, I don't intend to log out.

There's nothing I can do about it, I'm not hungry either

I tried to open it but it was still the same as the menu, it could not be opened

"Kyra, what level do you think I'm at?"

"You are the Great King of the Undead kingdom, the King of Diablo, your level is 150, the highest among the highest,"

W-wah, I didn't expect to be answered that way

It is true that I am level 150, but there are many players of the same level. In this game it takes equipment too to be strong, and I happen to have it

You could say my account is very strong to face any class, even though I myself am only a class of magicians

"What about our comrades outside the kingdom? I hope they get back as soon as possible,"

"Your highness, actually since a while ago we lost contact with them,"

Huh uh? How could?

I put a lot of spies outside my underground kingdom and they disappeared for no reason?

Hoh! Who would dare to do that? They will die in my hands, the King of Diablo

"Send more spies! We should know the situation outside the kingdom!"

"Good King,"

This narrow room is a wine storage room, the place is quite narrow because the shelves containing wine fill it. Peter wanted to drink one of the bottles, but was stopped by the other three

You see this bottle is filled with magic that I do not recognize, I do not know many things, but this one is quite interesting

Lina called it poison magic, but was it really just that limited? I'm gonna go check it out, I'm gonna grab a bottle and I'm gonna put it in my little bag without anyone knowing

"What should we do now? Waiting until they disappear on their own?" Ask Howard

"I don't know! If only we could defeat them." replied Peter.

"Dam! Are you going to blame Lina?" Feli tried to protect Lina

"Sorry.." said Lina.

Nawat, the cohesion of this party is starting to falter....

They began to argue themselves about what they should do, Peter as party leader must be very depressed at this time

If only there was something that could reconcile their opinions....

Hm? Isn't that...?

"Umm. guys, I don't think that door is the only way here,"

"Huh?"

I pointed to the door under the floor made of wood as well but thicker and reinforced by a little iron, the problem was that we did not know where the door was headed

They looked at each other silently, then they nodded

"i think we should explore what's behind that door" Peter said

"Yes, we can't go back through this entrance anyway" Feli said in agreement

Lina nodded again

"So it's decided yes." Howard said.

We're going through that other door, I hope there's no other surprise...

Howard pulled it hard, but it still opened slowly. Lina said again it was because of a special magic that this time she couldn't explain, maybe some kind of safeguard? I want to know the mechanics but I don't think it's possible

If I could just grab a bottle, what kind of door can I get a sample of? I had to leave her, goodbye mysterious door....

By the way, now the four of us are in the place behind that door which is not the same as the dark hall before but now much darker and more neatly formed

I don't know how there's such a dark and tidy passage here, that's the ruins everyone knows are mysterious

Lina lit fire magic to make light, illuminating us but only to that extent. We do not know the direction of this road because it is very dark, apparently the walls and floor and roof of the hallway are so black that even Lina's light seems absorbed

Or.... is it really absorbed? Since there have been many strange magic that is unthinkable but effective, we must be really vigilant if we want to live

"That's...."

"Light!"

Whoa! Right, at the end there was a glimmer of light, or a hope for our party that was beginning to despair

Suddenly we ran towards the direction of the light, because well we have been walking in this dark hallway for more than two hours without seeing anything else

Are we going in the right direction?

Well...maybe?

When the light reached, we were in a strange place whose shape was unthinkable in this world even in my previous world

I don't know but the shape is similar to the colosseum but twice as big, it's very big....

The floor is made of the same material as the one used to make Via Romana, making it comfortable to tread. Then the roof was opened and the sky was clear and cloudless

But don't get me wrong, with one finger, the sky turned dark black almost like the hallway. It's just that the colosseum itself has good lighting so everything is still clearly visible

Who is the one who pulled that finger? The figure standing in the middle of another figure in the middle of the coliseum? The figure that suppressed his magic power was the same as me? Well, maybe he'll explain it himself
