Chapter 61: The Grizzly Village

Cedric was fast asleep in the store, it was already afternoon and the old man didn't bother waking Cedric up.

"Geez that kid, he always sleeps when it's his shift!"

Elias was holding the paper blueprint, he was quite curious about the game. But for him, what Cedric had told him was simply unbelievable. A machine that can transfer the consciousness of a player into the game.

Elias held his phone and began dialing an old-time friend of his.

Ring

Ring

On the other line was a woman with pink hair, she was inside a worn-out shop. But what was intriguing were the machines in the whole place.

She picked up her phone while doing something on a machine.

"Hello, who is it?"

[Hey Layla, it's me, Elias]

"Wow, Elias? You called me, so what can I do for yah?"

[I'll send a picture to you, can you see if you can make this?]

"Sure send it!"

Layla pressed on the picture, and she then transferred the picture onto a holographic screen.

"What's with this? Did you draw this? It looks like my little nephew's drawing!"

[No a friend of mine gave that blueprint to me, can you check if there's a possibility that you can create this?]

"Hmm let me see.."

Layla zoomed the screen on the small information on the side.

"Overwrite it for me Gaia I can't properly read it.."

A small robot flew to Layla's side and began to overwrite the information on the picture.

Layla read the information carefully.

"A capsule that can transfer a consciousness in another world...Hey, Elias doesn't it look like the capsule those rankers use to train themselves?"

[Yes that was my first impression as well, What do you think? Can you do it?]

"Fixit, show me a build mode."

Another robot suddenly created a holographic small capsule, it then began to follow the instructions on the paper and began to create the capsule holographically.

"What is the probability?"

"The probability of the capsule success is over 99.999"

[What!? Can you make it Layla?]

"Fixit told me that the success of making this is over 99.999 percent. Meaning I can make it"

[Wait you telling me that it will work? Do you mean that once the capsule is finished it can transfer the player's consciousness into the game?]

"Yep, Fixit's probability never fails. And if it's me building this, then that further increases the success! I'm not hailed as the S-ranker machine builder for nothing!"

Layla Everina is the fifth S-ranker in the country. Although she isn't a fighting-based ranker, she has exceptional talent in building items and many have applauded her for her work.

[Then can you create it?]

"Sure! But how much are you willing to pay?"

[T-Ten Million!]

"That's too low! Elias the government buys one single machine from me and I sell it to them for over 500 million. You kidding me right? The capsule used for rankers cost even a billion dollars, and you're telling me to create the capsule with some tweaking for only 10 million?"

[Please Layla, you already know what happened. I don't have much money left..]

"Well, that's what happens if you trust someone too much, hah fine, For old times sake I'll make this for ten million."

[R-Really? Thank you so much, Layla!]

"You better thank me, anyways It's going to take a month for me to build this.."

[I'll visit and I'll even buy some sweets that you like!]

"Hm alright, anyways I gotta go I still have to create another weapon for some court official.."

[Thank you truly Layla..]

Layla hung up the phone, she furrowed her brows and continued her work.

"Fixit let's finish this weapon so we can start with Elias's machine"

....

Meanwhile, the shark tribe had successfully escaped the fury of the whale tribe. They were far away from what they dubbed as monsters.

"It's already nearing night! Everyone let us rest!"

Finding an underwater cave, the Shark tribe rested. They were all worried and scared at the fact that their protector had died. The shark tribe now had additional members in their family, due to the sharks following and helping them in their journey.

The sharks with Ono began to hunt for food for everyone to eat, the sharks were fast and immediately caught three huge fish. After hunting they went back to the cave and fed everyone.

As night came, Ono was with Kuma on the surface.

"Ono, everyone in the tribe is scared, their anxieties once again resurfaced. We faced too much, first, many of our people had died, then us leaving our home, and lastly, our apostle had died."

"Those from the whale tribe have gone too far, even hurting our apostle.."

"Ono, I know you have hatred towards them, so do I. But for now, we must ensure our tribe's survival, Ono I am handing the responsibility for the chief to you."

"W-what?"

"I am but an old man, You were the one who was chosen to protect our tribe, the apostles have chosen you. I am already old, I can't protect everyone, but you can. So please, even though it's quite selfish of me, hold the responsibility of the chief.."

"I...yes! I will!"

As morning came, the shark tribe continued their journey. The shark tribe had now a new chief, Ono! Ono had become the chief of his tribe.

He had a lot of responsibilities to do, but to priority of all was ensuring his tribe's safety. The shark tribe didn't stop with their journey in finding a new home, Ono was determined to find the perfect place for their tribe to live.

As the chief and a future father, Ono wanted to ensure the future of the tribe and his children. Thus their journey continued.

Meanwhile, a young woman and man were traveling through the harsh cold temperature.

"Drevisena, father had told us to go south..."

"Isn't this south?"

"No that's north! Follow me sister if you don't want to get lost through the forest."

"Right.."

The two Siberian Beastman were travelling to search for the warm and new land their father had told them of.

"It'll take us many days just to get there.."

"Hah, this is so tiring.."

Pomosh sighed looking at his wild and playful sister.

'This will take a long time..'

....

"Hah, hah, are we there yet?"

Callidus was out of breath, they had been traveling for two days now, and not only that they had to climb through rocky mountains and jump from cliff to cliff. They also had to cross perilous and scary rivers.

"We are here Callidus, stand up"

Marelda helped Callidus stand up.

"Thank you.."

"Welcome to the grizzly village!"

Callidus looked at the village, it had strange architecture, especially the homes.

It was a standard small village, but its architecture was much greater than the wolf tribe.

"Everyone the chief is back!"

Many women and men gathered to Marelda, they all had smiles on their faces looking at their leader.

"We are so glad you are back chief!"

"Welcome back chief!"

Meanwhile, Aaron had sneakily left the others who were busy with his sister. Aaron entered their home, he sneakily went inside his room and stopped in his tracks seeing his father standing in front of him.

"D-Dad"

"Welcome back Aaron.."

"Huh?"

"Mind if we talk for a bit?"

Aaron slowly nodded his head, he was in his father's room.

"Um, may I ask what is it, Father?"

"Sit first, I'm making tea.."

Aaron sat down, his father handed him tea.

"I hope the taste suits your liking.."

...

"So what are we doing in this part of the forest again?"

There were four children, Igyeo, Pan, Terzo, and Primo.

"Primo, why did you tell me to come here? I had to postpone my training with my master because of you.."

"Hmm? Oh, it's because I found something that will amaze you guys! So follow me!"

The three children looked at one another with reluctance. But they still followed Primo.

"Tch hurry up slowpokes!"

"Yes!"

As the four children began to venture off to the forest, suddenly they all stopped and hid in the bushes due to Primo's orders.

"Now what are we doing here?"

"Shhhh! Just watch!"

The four children hiding in the bushes saw five disfigured figures walking.

"Aren't those Ino?"

Ino, from that day on everyone dubbed the monsters who had disfigured proportions Ino.

"Yep, I saw one when I was training in the forest, I followed it, and that thing entered that cave. Then a few minutes later there were numerous of them coming out of the cave.."

"So it's their hiding spot?"

"Your right, Pan!"

"So what are we going to do?"

"What else? We're going to ransack their hiding spot and kill them all Jahahaha"

"Isn't that too dangerous?"

Igyeo was sweating, Pan was also worried.

"I'm in.."

Terzo stood up with a confident smile.

"Let's ransack this shithole"

"T-Terzo you shouldn't cuss! If Mom was here she would have slapped you along with Primo.."

"Shut up Pan, Mom isn't here besides, don't you want to help everyone in our tribe? By killing all these monsters they wouldn't walk freely anymore. No one would get hurt.."

Hearing Primo, Pan reluctantly nodded his head.

"So Igyeo you up?"

"What no! That's dangerous!"

"Come on Igyeo! Your fast and we might need you as bait.."

"Really? I'm a bait? Haha, no I don't want to.."
