Damon woke up back in his room, completely and utterly exhausted. Today had been a hell of a day starting with bringing Kate back and turning Mark into a vampire and ending with a goddamn mini faction war.
He removed his helmet and placed it on the table, and looked at his two friends. They seemed to be peacefully sleeping with their chests rising and falling. They showed absolutely no signs of movement at all.
"Huh? They are not logging out?" Damon scratched his chin, staring at them for a couple of seconds.
He silently walked over to the coffee machine and brewed himself a fresh cup. He looked at the two again as he sipped his drink, and still no movements.
"Impossible," Damon muttered. This could only mean that both Mark and Kate were still inside the game, probably still participating in that special trial for vampire bloodlings with a noble heritage.
Damon narrowed his eyes at the two sleeping figures on the couch. Kate’s fingers twitched slightly, but her breathing was deep and even, completely still apart from that. Mark looked like a statue, head tilted back, lips slightly parted, utterly unresponsive. Their VR headsets sat snug against their temples, lights glowing a steady blue.
"That trial must be way more intense than I thought," Damon muttered, lowering the coffee mug. frёewebηovel.cѳm
He had assumed that their trial was probably something similar to the body tempering trial he had undergone with the multiple waves of ghouls attacking him, not a full-blown special trial that demanded this much time. But then again... nothing about this game was simple. Not anymore.
He had never before thought that there would be special exceptions to players logging out routinely every single day. It looked like there had always been more connections between the real world and the game world which he never knew about.
As he took another sip of the coffee, an obvious thought popped into his mind. If Kate and Mark underwent these trials because they had received special blessings, then what about the others?
If what he had hypothesized so far was correct, there was a whole slew of players going to enter the game with the so-called God-tier blessing. These wouldn’t be ordinary players. They were the top politicians and bigwigs of the real world who held the world’s economy in their hands.
Not just God tier blessing, they would be entering with also a significant financial backing to step up footholds in the game becoming the super ten guilds of the game.
Damon had always wondered who the actual players behind the super 10 was and now he could finally think about somethings.
Did these super 10 players already know about the game world and the real world slowly merging? If they also had god tier blessing then they too would probably undergo trials like Kate and Mark in their race and get another round of buffs.
Now he understood why these people were ridiculously strong. If the world was simple, his rebirth would have been all about getting revenge on the bastard who backstabbed him but now everything was different. More than being petty about that revenge, which he would never forget, he needed strength.
If he needed to stand in league with these people behind the super 10, he needed all the strength the game could offer and then some more. He needed to plan things better and not get caught with whatever the system tosses his way.
