with some restrictions but Teacher Hero was back with the team and they kept doing missions on the small town which where mostly simple missions like farming, hunting and construction like those mobile games but in this case a house wasn't build or level up with a click but they had to do it like in the real world. the members of Unit Zero were still in shock for Federico's decision to leave the team in such a way like a coward he run away without giving a single explanation.
rules about Immortal Punishment of the Immortals: a player has three options to choose. he either becomes a Hero and he fights for Zeus and the rest of the Gods or they become Fallen Heroes and they fight for Hades but only some know about the third option which is staying neutral of course a person who stays neutral would never get a "Gift" or "Curse" unless they are players whom were "exiled" from either side. a neutral player can do missions and they can pass any chapter like any other player but they aren't force to kill other players nor do dangerous missions and he can't be killed by a Hero nor a Fallen Hero (because they aren't representing any side killing a neutral player would be seen as a penalized crime and other players would lose points or even their life) in a few words a neutral player can't win their freedom nor are in danger of death so some people see them as NPC's but there is one thing that they can do and that is to "jump" to another game of the same Mythology from Son of Sun.
Beau is going deep on the woods with Rainbow-Size and Mr. Size Matters. they are going to hunt a buffalo. they are talking about many things. Man with no Face is in front of them and they all fear that they might need to fight with someone that has been notorious for being dangerous since the beginning and now that he has a "curse" harder would be to win in a battle against him.
"don't worry I didn't came in here to fight. because I am a friendly and trusting man I would reveal the name of my curse is called "the oracle" unlike is portrait I don't talk with the Gods or anything like that but I just see prophesies and I the future and last night I had a vision that almost drained me from my whole energy. to be more specific in that vision you. Beau Nguyen you and I would become really good friends."
said Man with no Face breathless.
Man with no Face leaves quietly. Beau returns to the town with the other two guys. inside of the town they see Alpha Purple Warrior sowing with the help of Don-Savage. Choco-Coco-Latte is cocking with the help of Doctor Middle Finger (in chapter 4 they had to live inside of the town and survived on their own to proved themselves to be worthy of the "Gift" that is also why they had to hunt, sow and build in order for the town to become more secure) Chicken Wrath came from the woods holding a bag full of dozens of birds.
"I had been thinking a lot and this town is nearby a huge monster so I suppose we are going to be force to fight that mother fucking reptile with many heads."
said Peace Inn.
all of them use hope as the only tool that they could used to continue and fight against this cruel world and depending of that hope they became strong in soul and body to keep going every day without looking back at what their life used to be after all that is no longer important and the past is just some shackles stopping you from moving and dragging you deep inside of the quicksand also known as regret.
at night they all were on the town around a bonfire it was hard tell what time it was but the sky was dark and that bonfire was the only light keeping them together. Teacher Hero had already log out of the game. Peace Inn and Don-Savage went early to their cabins to sleep. Self-Bet drinks a beer and then she goes to sleep. Chicken Wrath wanted a moment for himself to deal with the feeling of betrayed when Master of Lies left the team. the guys are alone at night with little to do so they decided to talk about each other so they can get closer.
"okay the first thing I want to asked to you all is why you choose your names. I mean let's be honest most of you have a ridiculous username and without much detail I don't know what to think. I want to be honest Joaquin Fernandez is my real name and after I become a NPC I started using my real name but when I was alive my username was "Tamer of Females" and yes I used to be a full pledge seducer."
said Joaquin smiling for the first time.
"okay I am going first. I called myself the Alpha Purple Warrior because Alpha Warrior has been my username since my first game and all begin as a joke among friends. now the reason why I added Purple to my username is because Red, Brown, Orange and Green were already taken and my fifth favorite color is Purple."
said Alpha Purple Warrior laughing while he remembers the old good days.
"I think is my turn. I came from a family of Doctors and I was going to be forced to be a doctor when I lose my parents in a car accident so as an act of defiance before they died I took the name Doctor Middle Finger as my way of letting them know that I wasn't please with the idea of been a doctor and now I take care of my siblings."
said Doctor Middle Finger feeling sad about the past.
"I am next bitches. I had been called an ass my whole life so calling myself Lord Golden Ass was my way of saying I am an ass but I also had class and style bitches."
said Lord Golden Ass enjoying of the moment.
"for my name I used my three favorite things in the world. chocolate, coconuts and latte simple and clean."
said Choco-Coco-Latte feeling proud of himself.
"I am a science guy, I always wanted to be a Mathematician so that is my answer. something simple and nerdy."
said Mad-Matician feeling a bid shy.
"I lose a dare and I, my punishment was that my username."
said Rainbow-Size.
"in my case I am a sexually active man so you would understand that my pride was on the line when I had to pick an username."
said Mr. Size Matters smirking.
"this is an interesting day. is good that we get to know each other."
said Joaquin with a fake smile.
"now that we are having this friendly conversation. I am interested in knowing more about you. I mean can you tell us about the man used to be before you became a NPC."
said Beau curious to know more about him.
"I think I should go to sleep there is nothing important to know about me."
said Jaquin in a serious tone of voice.
Joaquin leaves holding two beers. Beau feels a bit guilty. Doctor Middle Finger starts talking about his siblings with so much emotion. Alpha Purple Warrior is starting to feel sorrow and solitude while he looks at the other guys.
"I talked with Pandora a few times and she told me the same thing every time. those who are chosen to be "Offerings" is because they were unworthy of the real world or at least that is how it works for this game. Hades didn't wanted to sacrifice kids under seventeen nor innocent people who had never done anything wrong in their entire lives and not everyone who enters in the game is a criminal or a sinner but I was told that at least there is a mistake in our lives that marked us to be unworthy of the real world."
said Mr. Mad-Matician trembling with fear.
"does that mean we all deserved to die twice?"
asked Mr. Size Matters feeling uncomfortable.
"here is something no one knows about me. I was driving drunk once while leaving college and I run over someone. I was scared so scared that I forgot to make sure if that person was still breathing."
said Rainbow-Size trembling with guilt and fear.
"fuck brother I..... you are not the only one with a shitty past. back when I was in high school me and my pals we used to be a bit aggressive with a fellow student and at some point things got out of control and he commit suicide ever since that day I had tried to be a better person and if I see someone in that position I try to help them."
said Mr. Size Matters feeling drawn on his guilt.
"I am not saying shit about my life. not all of us are as open about their secrets as you two dudes but I want to make babies with Self-bet. well that is an awkward confession."
said Beau with an innocent smile.
"let's end this now we had talk too much and is already too late."
said Choco-Coco-Latte in a tone of voice that it was obvious we wanted to hide his secrets.
they were about to go home when out of nowhere the Hydra appeared in front of them and it push them away. they run in fear towards the buildings. they didn't had any weapon to defend themselves and all of them were drunk. watching in the dark was hard and it was harder for someone as drunk as they are.
every single one of them received a message letting them know that that the Hydra was going to be their final mission of chapter 4 and it can't touch them if they get inside of a house in the town. it can only touch them if they are out of the town or out of their houses at night.
the Hydra leaves the town but they were so freaking scared to go out there to make sure if it had left or not. Rainbow-Size, Mr. Size Matters, Mad-Matician and Alpha Purple Warrior are inside of a house while Beau, Choco-Coco-Latte and Doctor Middle Finger are inside of another house.
information about Son of Sun games: an "Offering" AKA the person who is force to die in real life and fight for their survival in the game. the "Offering" is never at random it all depends on two factors the first one is the Mythology to which the Gods belong and the second one is the specific God to who is dedicate the game. for example in some Mythologies they don't accept minors and in another Mythologies they prefer minors to be sacrificed and died. in the case of Immortal Punishment of the Immortals Hades decided that he only wanted people who had commit a crime and never payed for it or cowards who were witness of a crime and they never did anything about it. the bigger the guilt they feel the more appropriate they are to become "Offering" now the word offering is not just because they are the modern version of a human sacrifice but also because if they die their soul would be given to the God who rules over that game in this case Hades. and Hades loves the taste of guilt.
Beau is drinking a coffee and smoking while Doctor Middle Finger is reading a book to relax. Choco-Coco-Latte is painting in a the wall with a paintbrush while he is whistling. they all tried to forget about the giant dragon like creature with many ugly heads. Beau stands up and he looks at the other two guys.
"has any of you like someone so much that you want to be that person's savior and hero because I do. I want to make sure that she makes it out of here no matter what."
said Beau while thinking about Self-bet.
"there is nothing sadder than a fool in love. it is so embarrassing that it hurts... but you are not alone man to be honest I used to loved someone so long ago."
said Choco-Coco-Latte feeling overwhelmed.
in the meanwhile on the Zeus' Tower Zeus is ironing his shirt. he has some glasses on to read a book on his phone while he keeps ironing his shirt. Hades knocks on the door and because no one answers he opens the door and he enters while he is looking at his notes and then he looks at a shirtless Zeus and Hades doesn't know what to say.
"do you need anything?"
asked Zeus while he keeps reading the book on his phone.
"I want to make a bet with you. who ever wins takes the souls that the other one is holding on his side. but before I get into the details of the bet I want your confirmation if you are in or out."
asked Hades with a evil smirk.
"I don't trust you for two reasons. first you are my brother and secondly your name is Hades. I want to write a document with no bullshit in it and only in that way I would make a deal with you."
said Zeus irritated to had Hades on his Tower.
"I would send the Ferryman in that case with the document and every detail that can be added. well if you excuse me I had to go back to work because unlike you I am a man who has to work a lot every day."
said Hades with a creepy smirk.
