The Dead Walking

A minute later the speakers lifted their heads.

"There one other thing, beyond here is a memorial stone. On that stone, lists of the names of everyone who has died and location of their gravestone. Their gravestone also gives information about the player such as the time and date of their death, approximate location, and the cause of death," Arthorias took a deep breath.

"To those that have lost someone, you have my sincerest condolences, but now I must speak on another rumor that accompanies this. This rumor is cruel and unsettling. Many players have claimed to have seen the corpses of dead wandering around and some have even attacked other players," Arthorias paused.

"As of now that rumor is… confirmed fact."

Amongst the crowd more murmuring erupted. Players discussing what they just heard.

"Xuelian, have you heard about this?"

She looked at me and shook her head.

"Everyone!" Arthorias called out to the crowd. "This is a sick joke that Rin Maurus has placed on us, but do not be afraid. This game may be treacherous, but it's not unbeatable. In light of this information, we all will triumph if we stay calm, focused, and don't give into our fears."
