CHAPTER 2

After one month Ashley designed her character as a Magician and a Warrior. It was strange because normally people choose one of these. Ashley was training both abilities in the dungeons with a lot of different monsters. The level of Ashley is low. And because this world is a game, she has to obtain a high level to win benefits. There are 100 levels in this world, so she has a long way to go.

She doesn't have enough money to buy a house so she is living at an inn. She was lucky to find any room because with all the new players, the city was full. According to the explanation of the director of the company. This world has a name, Regis. It has a limited area for the players. When we improve our level we can access the other areas. There are strong monsters in the new areas that is a reason because the players are starting to make teams. Some with friends or relatives that they knew in real life. Others like me just choose someone at random.

I don't want to make teams with anyone because my level is lower than others because I picked two skills. I prefer to make progress at my own rate. Ashley continued on that way for like six months but it seemed that even if she didn't look for troubles these would come to her door. The teams that are formed by the players formed early on started oppressing other teams and the people who just want to have a normal life. They use them high levels to extort and intimidate. Ashley had to flee the city because he refused to pay the fees.

But even if she escaped they were stronger than her. So they catch up to her quickly.

Ashley wasn't willing to lose, so she decided to commit a suicidal act. Go into a new dungeon that unblocked with the appearance of new areas. The monsters that were here are very strong like in the new areas. Ashley discovered this dungeon a few weeks ago but at that moment she didn't go too far because she knew that she was too weak.

And now she has to return by her own choice. It was funny, right? Ashley took the way that she went down. And she hid in a place she considered secure. A few minutes later. The four players who followed her, entered. They were divided into two groups of two. A warrior and the Water Magician come to my side.

They were thorough therefore Ashley couldn't maintain her position for long. She started to move. Ashley managed to escape during two days. But the third day the group of the Warrior and the Water Magician catch her.

—Bitch! What is this place?! Where do you guide us?! — These two players were terrifying and angry because of this woman. This place was a maze. They wanted to leave it before a day had passed but they couldn't find the exit. Just found a lot of monsters that were stronger than anyone in this city. Their reserve of food is depleted and they couldn't communicate with their partners outside here.

Ashley was not better. She can only tolerate being hungry and tired because she used to do that. But three days are her limit.

—Why do you blame me? I didn't force you to follow me —The hand in her neck was suffocating her yet she told them mockingly.

The Warrior seemed very angry and raised his fist to Asley's face. Ashley closed her eyes and waits for the hit. But at that moment a scream of pain was heard all over the place.

—Aaahhh!!! Help! Please…!! — Ashley opened her eyes and saw the Magician being devoured by a monster with a wolf's head and bear's body.

The warrior couldn't react and only lets Ashley go, when the monster sees in their direction. The man didn't even think to fight with that monster. He knows that his level was a piece of garbage compared to his dead partner.It was a pity that the monster selected him first.

After the monster finished with the warrior, it moved to Ashley's direction. Ashley didn't have strength to move her body. She knows there isn't escape. So trying to comfort herself thinking "At least it was a powerful monster" . She curled up with all her body trembling with fear. And when Ashley almost can feel its putrefied breath. She could see a man suddenly appearing in front of her. The man had a black sword on his back. It was the last thing Ashley got to see before she fainted.
