Welcome to a virtual underground game with no protection, full of lurking players who seek survival, power, and fortune. Kieran chose to enter this VRMMORPG game without hesitation, because he knew this was the only way for him to escape death’s grasp. Can he escape death in real life though, or will he end up dying inside the game?
"Get the door!" Kieran told Elli as he rushed to the rusty door that led to the backyard.
The door could not be opened by regular means, but Kieran did not care.
Bang!
A hard kick landed beside the door’s handle, and the whole door flew out along with its frame.
Kieran’s Strength was already C- after the upgrades, and when he kicked, his Strength and Agility granted him a temporary +3 Rank, which meant that his kick was B- rank.
With such a powerful kick, a steel door would have easily been kicked down, let alone a wooden one.
Both the wooden door and its frame flew out in an arc and landed on the parterre.
Kieran’s attention was on Raul, who had fallen on the garden.
Raul, who was wrapped in a trench coat and bandages, was lying down against the ground, moaning in pain.
A dagger had been stabbed near his abdomen, and Raul was barely conscious from the attack and the fall. There was a dazed expression on his face as Kieran called his name.
"Raul, can you hear me? Raul!"
