Versatile: Alternate World

The mysterious happenings all around the town made us venture a little bit and investigate. Of course, it wasn't necessary for us to check the situation as it wasn't part of the quest but because it will limit what we can do with the town being like this.

"Just what the heck happened here to turn it to become like this?" Shana keeps on wandering her eyes around, trying to find a logical explanation and see what the people are currently doing with the situation as most of the NPCs we have seen so far are just similar to the guards back at the gate. All of them are devoid of emotions. It was like they are robbed of their humanity.

"Perhaps someone triggered a quest and this caused them to be like this? It's a big possibility right?" Yna looked at me, trying to confirm her suspicion.

​ "There are some situations that events like this where other player triggers a quest, other players will witness the change that is caused by the quest. But it was quite rare so it's not always a guarantee to happen unless it's a side event quest that multiple players can experience."

Exploring the whole place, I realized that the whole city was like this without any player in sight, there is only one thing clear. We even visited some of the stores and even the local Headquarters where players can get random quests and the same thing is also happening. All of the NPCs are like soulless shells that are still operating on what they are doing yet doing it without any life or energy.

The situation allowed me to conclude that this seems to be something that wasn't done by a player or any demonic enemies. Therefore, the only thing that I can think of being connected to the current situation is none other than our targets.

The reason I came to this conclusion is that the first target that I killed is capable of unleashing several dark magic spells. Although I haven't seen the entirety of the skills she unleashed since I killed her before she can do so, there is indeed a possibility that the three are doing this to create chaos.

Although I am quite sure that this city did not experience this before in the past, since the situation is now different and I am killing their companions one by one, this might be their last decision to slow their death and also to try to eliminate the possibility for them to die. Instead, it will allow them to have a diversion to make sure the enemies don't even dare to go to them.

"Let's stop exploring and directly go to our target. I have a theory that the events happening all around the city might be the work of our targets. The sooner we finish the task, the faster we are gonna be done."

Everyone seems to also agree and we headed straight to the current location of the tracker. In this battle, since we are gonna be facing three enemies, I decided to not recall Lucia, Atlas, and Tina as they can assist me in the battle. I don't mean to offend but the others have yet to experience the full game just yet and although I can let them experience things, bosses like these guys have the biggest tendency to kill newbies who are just starting out like they are pretty big. And I even doubt they have already a mastery and expertise in their classes. Aside from Gin and Shana, Koji and Yna seem to still struggle with how to fight using their classes which is why I can't rely on them.

After following the tracker, we soon arrived at the biggest mansion in the city. I have seen this place before but it was already an abandoned place and in the past timeline, it is an area where living armors spawn. It became a place that would be good for grinding some levels around level 70 to 80. It became popular to some players due to the advantage of farming levels while having a convenient place to sell drops in the nearby shop and the fountain of healing that will allow the player to heal their health once they are near the fountain which made the popularity of the place justified in a way.

"Are our opponents gonna be vampires or something? This doesn't look good and I am not ready to see a vampire in real life!" Koji tried hiding behind Yna but she got irritated and shrugged him off.

"Come on, I know you are a scaredy cat but this is just a game, Koji. You meet monsters here all the time and all of them can be killed. Don't even matter much actually and you can get rid of them in the right way"

"Oh come on, Yna. They are just creepy! Especially if they show off their fangs!" Koji tried to even reason Yna out.

However, I don't think our enemies will be vampires. Just like most folklore, the vampires in this game suck blood but they don't belong in a normal place like this as that will trigger the Holy Guards that are always stationed in towns and cities like this to detect demonic activities and other things that would result in things like that so most of them would always live on the outskirts of the city, usually in a place where the full moon is usually seen in its entirety without any obstruction as that would increase their ability to fight.

And this mansion is not, unfortunately. However, there is a big chance that the enemy has at least one necromancer in them. Perhaps it is the time for me to at least show off using my necromancy skills this time around?

Atlas opened the gate slowly, creating a creaking sound. It is clear that it has been a while since the gate was used so this place is not even the home of the three, which means they just came here a few days ago and have decided to make this town a place where people will just become a lifeless husk of flesh.

I see now what you all are trying to accomplish here.
