24 God (?) and Human (?)

Somewhere inside a virtual environment. There were 8 different figures that each represented colors.

Each of them spoke through a digital screen. Each screen had a border with different colors.

They were all displayed by a silhouette. Represented mysteries they brought to the meeting room.

"Are you sure that the [System] calculations will be absolutely accurate?"

"Don't you dare to talk to a [God] like that!"

There was a fight erupted through the virtual screen.

Both virtual screens with 'reddish-white' and 'bluish-black' color were the only ones talking at the conference.

The other attendants were only listening to them quietly.

"I am sorry for my harsh word, but did you believe that players would actually realize it? Did you know how clueless they were?"

"There is still a day left before the prophecy came through. You can underestimate the player but you should never deny [God]'s power."

"I am respecting your belief, but can you see the fact out there?"

"It's still too early."

The 'bluish-black' border screen was made a debate through facts and rationality.

The 'reddish-white' border was holding on to its argument through its pure belief.

They had both different perspectives but no one interrupted them.

"Okay, but [System] should be more attentive with the situation. We approved the game's executives' proposal because of [System] calculations said we will found out the result on the first day."

"He is a [God]. And [God] will never make a mistake. The first day is not over yet."

"Then, [White]. Tell us about the situation. Contact the game representative about 'the potentials'. It should count as an emergency."

"You were talking all big with rationality and stuff, but you deny the fact that we are on 'a quarter' time dilation?"

"Shut up [Cherry]! I am talking to [White]."

The 'reddish-black' color called [Scarlet] was just gesturing a shrug on the screen.

"We'll make the vote first then. Do you okay with that, [Azure]?"

"I do, I do. Just do it."

"Alright, [Azure] was making a demand to watch 'the potentials', and we will vote for 'probability' agreement."

[White] was confirming the audience. It continues after they were agreed with the proposal.

"Alright, Vote for 'Yes'."

The virtual screen with color borders of bluish-black, light-blue, and black made a vote by radiating their aura.

"Alright, Vote for 'No'."

The same event happened again with different participants. They were border with reddish-white, dark-green, and greenish-white.

"Alright, it's different than the last vote, but with 3 'Yes' and 3 'No', the request will be denied."

The vote ended with a tie and two no-vote from white and dark-red color.

"Well, I respected your opinion anyway."

"Sorry for that, [Azure]. I don't think 'the probability' will be worth it."

"Don't worry, [Scarlet]. I am still glad that [Arctic] had the same opinion as me."

"Geez. Look at you seducing 'her'."

"Shut up [Emerald]! And don't join the conversation [Mint]!"

"Hey! I don't have any plan to join at all."

With the room in such a heat, [White] began to mediating once again.

"Alright, let's just continue with the next topic."

"Sure, when will [Violet] and [Orchid] come anyway?"

"The other [Gods] are still discussing 'the probability' for them. [System] still can't decide the absolute calculation."

Nod.

As [White] confirmed the participants, it continued to move on with the topic.

"Let's talk about the 'probability' of [Amber] and [Lemon]."

--------------------

"Okay, wanna test our final theory now?"

"Wait, I'll have lunch first."

"Okay, no rush. Tell me when you are done."

"Thanks."

Arie was watching TV while talking with 'Avia' through his tablet.

They both added each other avatar on DICE. They were talking on a random coordinate there. Arie had a VVIP coordinate, but he did not dare to bring 'Avia' who he had just met to it.

He and Harden could adjust and control the place as they wish such as prohibiting 'Avia' from entering if they found suspicious action, but the problem was not only that.

They needed to at least built a stable rule or maybe contract for that VVIP room. They had designed it as the soon to be guild basecamp.

Other top players such as 'flodina the Lightning Empress' had also promoted their VVIP room as a soon-to-be-basecamp.

But, of course, Arie would not dare to follow that step unless he had strong backup like her.

"Hey Bro."

"Ah, there is your lunch."

"Thanks."

Viro was just coming out from his room from the entire day gaming. The sibling has made an agreement to logout when it's lunch and dinner time. The morning will be optional, but Arie would prepare a breakfast nonetheless.

"What's new?"

"Nah, grinding endlessly like usual. I've found a stronger party and have made a temporary agreement to play together until the trial, but it is basically like usual."

"Woah! What composition is it?"

"2 Warrior with 2 Mystic."

"7th wave?"

"Yup."

"And one-shotted afterward?"

"Yup."

"Yeah, it is the same as everyone."

"How about you then?"

"Me? Hehe."

With a mysterious chuckle, Arie changed his sitting position. It looks like he was so happy with what happened.

"Ugh, please. Let me prepare myself again."

"Hehe, don't worry. You will find it sooner or later."

"Ha? Wait-"

"Ups. I will enter the 'coffin' again. 'Avia' has contacted me to login."

"Please. At least tell me the premise."

"Umm, how could I say it? The endless grinding will be over soon?"

"No, wait. We knew it will be over two days later. Were you implying that you will make it sooner or what?"

"Hehe."

"Don't just 'hehe'!"

"Ah here, I forgot to give you the Harden's and Berd's avatar. Here, add it."

"Hey, do not avoid the topic."

"And don't forget to say 'hi' to them, I am pretty sure they are bored now."

"Ugh c'mon."

"Here, you can discuss it with them about what am I going to do or the like, right?"

"Sigh~ I give up, just login already. Just make sure the surprise is big. Shoo shoo."
