What? Halflings?

"Whoa . . . this is . . . disappointing," I muttered under my breath as I took in the expanse of the village.

I expected a lovely cozy village with tiled roofs, concrete brick walls, and a cobbled pathway. But instead, I was shocked by the thatched roof, wooden walls, and dirt paths.

Not to mention the stench of animal and manure, but what's with the inhabitant of this place? Why do they have horns and animal features?

" . . ." Could I get any more description than that?

< Host needs to be careful around them. They're infamous for their notorious behavior and aversion for anyone that isn't like them.>

Notorious? As an evil system, shouldn't you ally with them?

". . ." Are you talking about yourself?

"Get lost."

My attention spun to a group who were talking to a girl with horns and goat feet.

"What's with you? We're just asking if you have a quest for us," said player A.

"Should NPC's act like this?" questioned player B.

They seemed to be asking for a quest. In video games, players do ask NPC's for quests. But . . . I looked around. Are they really NPCs?

The Halflings looked very much alive like us and didn't act robotic at all. They even portrayed emotions, and right now, that halfling girl was looking annoyed at the two.

The Halfling gnashed her teeth. "Get lost, humans. You're not welcomed here. This is my last warning."

Player A and B smirked, and they attempted to touch the Halfling girl, but within a blink, they were both sent flying in the sky with just one kick of her goat leg.

The two players burst into particles and everyone who saw it was stunned when the two disappeared in thin air.

" . . ."

W-where did they go? Please tell me they've respawned somewhere else.

". . ." I knew I paled and didn't have to look at a mirror to know how white I was. Just the cold biting through my every bone and the twisting of my stomach was enough to wake me in the realization that this was my world now.

And all the inhabitants here weren't just NPC's.

They were real and very much alive.

"What the fuck?!"

"Can NPC's kill us?!"

"What's going on here?"

The rising tension caused the others' faces to twist in fear while some bolted out from the village with tears stained faces and shaking limbs.

Reality must have hit hard.

I took a step back. I had the urge to run myself. This place wasn't safe anymore.

< Host should be fine as long as your relationship level with the inhabitant doesn't fall below Ruffian.>

. . . Relationship level?

That Halfling must have been strong to defeat those two with just a kick. But on the other hand, those two were beginners like me, so their ATP wasn't high, to begin with.

I wish I had the ability to know the ATP of everyone. I muttered.

D-don't tell me . . .
