Chapter 2: A bizarre suit of events

Resurrected, waking up in some kind of sanctuary or ruins and people coming out of a portal.. I thought I went mad for a second, I thought magic was just some kind of fairy tale but now I could believe everything.

Around 6 people went out of the portal thing, three of them looked like hunters and the other three were some kind of witches. It was time to ask some questions.

I began by going to the three bandits and asked them how they ended here, they told me the same way as I did but they stayed there without trying to understand, said they have been waiting for some time in this ruins.

I said: « Anyway, as long as we are all here we should know each other's names, I guess I already know Sygurd »

One of them answered with a laughing tone: « I am Bron, this is Adi and well... The third is Sygurd »

I answered: « My name is Jin, well you know I have been working for that old Ivar »

He said: « That old Ivar always hiding something, you should ask him some questions kid the old man wasn't that clear after all »

I answered: « I will begin by asking questions to those people and come back »

Bron answered: « Go on kid, one advice I know people and it seems that guy who welcomed us knows something»

I went to the group of hunters and witches and started investigating.

I began with the witches, they started laughing and threw me away. Damn even after being resurrected getting rejected still hurts.

Then I faced the hunters and started asking questions they answered:

« All we know is that when one of those portals lit up, it means gold »

I kept asking other questions but the hunters answered vaguely, I knew they were also hiding something

I said to myself: « I should know more » then the fifth guy appeared again behind from nowhere he said: « Hey I am Ishin, I come from the oriental peninsula, I tell you without would you like to see my cloak of invisibility? »

Wait. Show me his cloak of...? Well I guess I wouldn't have understood if he didn't appear and disappear now that I remember the guy vanishes from time to time.

He kept on going with excitement: « Well I guess you are new to the MirG games, from time to time this kind of dungeon opens, you'll see it is so amusing you will see people die, and there is no law you can do anything you want.. Anyway you will get the rules when the chalk board will get down, oh I guess it is right on time»

Then a chalk board went down from the roof and dropped to the floor with the inscriptions:

« Some of you are dead and came back and the others are uninvited, all you will find here is despair, pain and agony, but the task is simple: when the doors open, survive for an hour and you will have your lives back, but beware of the primordial monsters, there are four of them and they are roaming the area »

Ishin said: « each time it is different I guess we are in the horror arena now, listen let me give you a hint up before the door opens, see the witches come from a coven where they get supernatural powers and become spoiled little brats don't play with their ego, the hunters are just here for the prize just don't stand between them and their prey. I guess you know the three bandits there, you should use them as shields » as he started laughing

He then said: « And finally me, I love this place but if you intend to survive don't come near me I would sacrifice you and use you as a shield if I wanted to, I am here for all the fun but if you stand between me and my reach, if you derange me ,even if you survive, I would make sure to end you on the other side»

He finished: « Yeah and there is some kind of killer named Majima he wants to end me guy got a contract to kill the son of the shogun, and I am its target. That guy is always late he must be here any minute from now »

As the portal started to disappear, one last person full of blood came out of it, I guess it was that Majima guy, He then shouted «AAAH.. Here is my prey » in a crazy way.

The door started opening at the same time and Ishin escaped from it as fast as he could for Majima to start pursuing him, That Ishin guy is weird it's like he is playing cat with that Majima.

I started feeling stressed as the door opened to give a beautiful sight of some kind of forest.

As it opened completely, the hunters went together, the witches went also then Sygurd came to me and said: «I guess that death bounded us let's stick together this doesn't sound like a fun game »
