Chapter 22

KOUSUKE

Could my days spending here in Olympus be any great? Last night I got a reminiscing dream and today merging of minds? What will I do? I need to calm myself and think.

"Think, think, think," I muttered as I tap my device.

"Ready players."

"Counterpart capsule." I frowned as I see this item. I never remembered purchasing this one. I look at the details and it is perfect for imitating another person in my mind but it will last one hour and if pass that duration of time it will affect my game points and it'll send glitches to my system. I hope we could finish the game before that duration of time.

Three

I took that capsule before the starting countdown ends.

Two

One

My breathing stops as my mind merge in a delusional dizzy images running in my mind. It makes me dizzy for us four persons who are merging.

MERGE COMPLETE

Honour Rise

PLAY

As I open my eyes we were now in a combat airplane. The plane window was open and harsh wind welcomed us. The reality of this game is amazing. I look at my squad and there's a different name tag as I look at them.

Kyoya 'Wolf' Soldier 1

Kazehaya 'Optimus' Soldier 3

Axel 'Storm' Captain

and me Kousuke 'Friday' Soldier 2

"Okay! Ready your parachute and we will now glide! We'll drop in a dungeon! Find the key, kill and choose our hero! Copy that?" Axel shouted, I can tell that he is the perfect one to be in that position. We will be drop in a dungeon? I don't know that.

"Okay! I know what you all thinking huh. In case you forget our minds merge okay!" Axel added and I snap out.

Yes, I totally forgot that part.

HONOUR RISE

LEVEL ONE

DUNGEON

The first level of honour rise is the dungeon. Each squads has their own target. The four squads will drop at that target location and will find a huge gate locked. To unlock the gate the squad should find the key. They key is finding the merchant man. He was a captive of three monsters. And once you kill those three monster and none of the three escape you will be rewarded with 200 (two hundred) points each of the player and free C4 each squad. Once the merchant opened the gate the squad must enter and conquer each monsters they encounter. Limited items will be available to use in your bag. Squad must be careful and help each other because if one of the squad get hurt others will feel it too. The dungeon is usually one kilometre before you can see the heroes you will choose to save. Each squad will choose only one hero. The hero will help you or companion you to the game until the level three. The hero will be a great help to each squad not because the hero can add points but also can help to terminate opponents as well. It is important to choose your hero wisely. Heroes also can help the squad to find the second vault. The heroes are specially made with different tactics, skills, powers, abilities, attack and magic. Some heroes are assassins, tanks and has magics.

As we dive into our target area a thing pop out in my mind and I don't know why. Whose memories are those? Are those mine? Oh right our minds was merged. I look at Kazehaya and wink at me. He was sharing an info? This is cool we can read and talk to each other. Some other say that heroes in the dungeon are real people, they are also players in the God Game. I don't know how to think and possible it is but they were emerge as sacrifice in the game. We save them and if we will able to unlock the second vault we can release the hero we choose and be back into life. Back into our world and no longer a prisoner in that game. They spend their life there for years for nobody still can open the vaults. I don't know if they are true but we will see if ever see the second vault. You know you can't see these in the details of the game. Details in the game is just a show off for the viewers, no one can really tell what lies in the game. This is just a rumor okay? But I'm excited to know the truth behind all of this sick game. We better open the second vault huh Kousuke, Axel and Kyoya.

It surprised me when Axel nodded. We are near in the ground of dungeon. The movement of the air really swayed us, as if we are really in our parachute and diving.

"Prepare your armor! I see target!" Axel shouted and we instantly obliged.

I loaded my assault rifle and cursed under my breath. How come did I forget to load this thing when we were in the air?

"Don't worry we can't load in the air," Kyoya stated and I look embarrassed. How come I didn't know that? Such an idiot of me.

"Target approaching!" Kazehaya shouted and we aim to the two target approaching.

It was an enormous sick monster. The other one is like a slimy gelatin with an alien form of face and full of armor. While the other one looks like an experience giant one. They sure are a dangerous opponent. I heard my riffle beep signaling it was loaded.

"Kazehaya take the peak!" Axel shouted and Kazehaya nodded and instantly climbed.

"Kyoya entertain that two!" he added and I saw Kyoya looks irritated.

"How would I entertain this fucking idiots? Dance? Do a challenge tiktak?!" Kyoya exclaimed and I can't help not to laugh a little.

"Hey! You! Come with me!" Axel shouted, pointing at me.

"Oh right," I muttered and immediately run into his pace.

"Kazehaya will tie them down with electric string and Kyoya will distract them and we will hit their heart or head," Axel stated and base on his statement it looks like an easy task to do but from what I see it harder than we thought. I look at my items to see if what we can use in case of failure. Limited items to use but I guess I can use these rain daggers.

"Hit!" Axel commanded and we took our hit. Our hit was successful, the bullet passed through their head and heart but to our surprised the wounded giants were not even bothered. It didn't hurt them. Instead another giant appeared which makes three of them now. The merchant is close.

"Can I suggest?" I exclaimed and Axel immediately look at me for minutes before he nodded.

The plan is using the dagger rain and from the bottom of the dagger tied with electric strings of Kazehaya's item. And Kyoya being the tank one we will be using his canon item and they are the one who will be in charge of firing it while I and Axel will cut the giants head off. It will be a risky and challenging part but I know Axel can handle this thing than me. I can feel already that he is fired up.

We waited for the right place of the three giants.

"Now!" I shouted, Kyoya and Kazehaya fired the dagger with electric strings.

Thousands of dagger rain aiming to the three giants. It was like a needle that is threading a cloth. It passed through their skin, eyes, head, legs, abdomen and every parts of their body. They stunned from their positions and that was our signal to go. From the help of Axel's item the jump starter, it was a free item. We jump so high that is enough to reach them. We don't have the choice but to use our assassins blade that suppose to be the weapon we should use as we enter in the dungeon. As the blink of an eye Axel slice out the head of the two giants causing his blade be broken. While me I got surprised when the giant's eyes meet mine. I instantly stopped from my tracks causing Axel to shout at me.

Because anytime the strings might give away and we can't use dagger rains after thirthy minutes.

I stand from the giants nape and slice it up. Blood splurted out and big veins. There, as what I thought. The merchant was here. I saw him from the shadows of the giant's eye.

"I found the key," I muttered and look at Axel.

***

The merchant opened the gate and look at us four.

"Save the one that follows your heart, trust yourself. Trust each other. Good luck playing the game," he said and left us. We silently entered the dungeon. Even Kazehaya is serious right now. The gate closed leaving us the dark place. Slowly the dungeon lighted up with blue and white lights, it was like were inside of a kryptonite. This game never fails to amaze me.

Cold air seeps through my skin and I guess they felt it too. Our armor gear changes. We are meters away from the gate when Axel halted.

"Ready yourself, target approaching," Axel stated and I was amazed because of his alertness. He can easily eye the target. What can you expect from a Storm. I loaded my assault riffle to ninety five percent. And so is them. I saw the target. No, not just any target. It was targets.

"Zombies..." Kyoya whispered and I felt shivered run down my spine.

When I was a kid I used to play plans versus zombies. Zombies there are kind of slow and easy to kill but fuck these zombies approaching us are hyper ones. Are these inspired on the movie of Train to Boman?

"Zombies fun run who dran too much energy drink? How are we going to kill these shit!" Kazehaya exclaimes hysterically causing Axel to snap him.

I tap my C4 and shout at them.

"Sheild!" I shouted and they alertly dock to the nearest wall stone. I throw the C4 and shoot it with my riffle. A loud bang echoed the dungeon. Blood spluttered out and I guess their brains are scattered everywhere. I hate to feel those slimy things in my boots. Even though they are not real this game can totally make you feel those shit.

Once the dust and smoke are gone and we can finally see the path. We decided to use our skater boots. It's an old fashion and old items but Axel choose those items for us. It maybe old but it's gold.

"Kazehaya! baseball grenade!" Axel exclaimed and even though we don't see yet the target, Kazehaya trusted Axel and pulled out one of his baseball grenade and throw it. Axel was right there was a zombies luring us. We use C4 and grenade we sure are loud at fighting huh.

We fight zombies everywhere and now I don't care about their saliva and blood sticking into me. There slimy as hell but hell with those face I want to get rid of them as fast as I can so we can save heroes now. The counterpart capsule that I have take had only forty minutes from now.

"We're close!" Kyoya exclaimed and he was right I can see the five cells from where we are. I can see smoke from the blood that sticks to my gear. They are slowly fading.

"Time to choose I guess," Kazehaya stated as we look up at the cells.

Five heroes.

There are five heroes to choose.

Are they also five real players?

Are their fates on our hands?

"What about her?" Axel pointed at the second cell.

We looked at the second cell and it was Chevaliers. A female assassin. Here weapon are blades. She's one of the most highest paid and elite assassins in the game. I know her, I once played her and she's a difficult one to use. I used her in the game League of Heroes.

"Whoo I like her boobs though, it goes booing booing booing definitely her," Kazehaya stated and Kyoya punches his arm.

I look the other cells and one thing caught me. It was the last cell. it was dark unlike the others but I can feel his eyes. yes, I am sure the hero in that cell is a male.

In order to see the heroes we can order them to show their face. He was in cell five.

"Number five show yourself!" I exclaimed and the other three was surprised at my sudden action. They looked at the where I am looking and their mouth came up hanging. I was right.

It was the legendary hero. The legendary hero who was gone after the god game was build.

His name was Spade also known as the Death Chanter.

With his guns and flute the opponent will come in rose for his death.

He remains one of the most fiercest gunrunners in the League of Hero's, with great combat skills and techniques and a strong advanced sense of avoiding danger. in order to pursue the pleasure of killing demons or monsters and completing tasks quickly, he would often give the most fatal attacks to his enemies. His bullets were like secret orders, chasing the enemies. In short he is catastrophe. He loves to play his flute, it was like a music for a funeral or a death wish. Other would call him the whistle of death whenever they hear the music of his flute.

"The death chanter huh," Axel said as he look at the cell number five.

"So no boobies now?"
