Turning around with a frown not so much excited about

Having to go back to where he had left minutes ago. He began his joining back to the town square.

" why didn't this darn system give me the quest when I was at the towns square not long ago"? Rodney thought to himself as he could see the town square up ahead.

"Urgh...what does fighting beasts and leveling up have to do with a preacher anyway ..what? his going to teach me how to talk to the beast nicely?"...Rodney said as he began laughing to his own jokes internally.

"You may not make it out of here alive, you will all perish in this world, your fate has been decided immediately you entered the game. I am no God but I say this people,you may ignore me....." A black man walking in the market dressed in a black shirt and black trousers with a brown leather jacket with a low cut and black eyes,it was the preacher.

" huh... So I'm supposed to talk to crazy over there?" Rodney asked with no reply as he was clearly talking to himself again.

" I know right...he's been going at it since you left...by the way, its not nice to walk out of people the way you did you know?... This might not be the world we all grew up in but everything here feels real..including embarrassments and I.." Pink rose was about to say before Rodney interrupted to say...

" uhm.. excuse me...I gotta go see that guy.."

Pink rose stood shocked at his behavior.

"Excuse me" rodney said tapping the man who was yelling at clearly no one as not many paid attention to what he said anymore.

"I've been expecting you shadow knight" he replied without looking back at who he was talking to.

"Uhm...actually I'm..." Rodney wanted to say but was interrupted before he could correct the man who mistook his name or so he thought.

" I know who you are "... the preacher said, turning around and staring at rodney for a while without saying anything then

"You look confused" he said with a smile.

"Follow me"

And he began to walk away and rodney looked lost but decided to follow him

"Whats with this guy?, hey..wait up". Rodney shouted as he ran behind the preacher.

" oh now I'm interested" pink rose said as she saw Rodney run after the preacher ...

She made sure to follow behind Rodney but not too close that she'd be noticed.

They arrived at an alley and the preacher continued walking and made a turn and as rodney followed, the preacher was nowhere to be seen just black walls around and a flame painting on one side of the wall.

"What the...I lost him?" he said as he looked confused and lost on where to look for the preacher.

"Well , don't just stand there,come in" the preacher's voice was heard.

"Wait its coming from the painting?... Let's see if this is true" he said, then ran towards the flame painting and as he got closer,it just lit up red and a spacing in the wall appeared and he passed right through it.

" huh I saw him turning here ...where did he go? Pink rose asked as she was sure she kept a good distance between them both.

Looking around to see if anybody was hiding she found nothing but plain walls on both sides.

She gave up and decided to head back to the town square to pick a quest that she'd embark on.

"OK...that was pretty neat" Rodney said after passing through the painted wall

"It's called enchantment...unlocked at level 15" the preacher replied Rodney.

The room was decorated with candles,flame painting as the wallpaper,shelves with large books in it about 3, another shelf with potions and stuff.

"I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask me. Like what is this place?, How did I get here?, why am I here?.. Well I can't answer all this questions now..but I urge you to get stronger as your life will depend on it" ..the preacher stopped almost half expecting that Rodney had something to ask from all he had said so far...

"My life...what happens if I die here..will I die in the world I came from"? Rodney asked.

" Your soul,body and mind have been absorbed into the game, if you die here ....you die good" the preacher said. Hearing this left Rodney with a huge shock on his face as he couldn't quite believe what he just heard the preacher said.

" But what if ....no wait....wait what's happening?..Rodney asked in panick as he could see the preacher's body begin to produce a red and blue flame and his eyes turned pure white then slowly his body was turning into particles and fading .

"I'll be there to guide you...when you do need me".

"How do I locate you"rodney said.

"I'll locate you " and as the preacher finished his sentence, rodney found himself standing at the town square where he met the preacher.

"What the....." He said with a confused look on his face as he scratched his head wondering what just happened,how he got outside.
