Resting Stage

'After all that show of knowledge, I know the imposters will be threatened, and they will make the mistake of attacking me, if they try, I will kill them all.'

Why is he so sure?

'Simple, first... I am the only player with the lowest level in the group, and I am also unharmed. So I'm simply an easy pray for them.'

Supreme thought, as he stared at the players, who were trying to answer the last riddle.

[Some Minutes Later.]

"I got it!"

Supreme opened his eyes and was not surprise. 'She finally got the answer.'

The one who yelled was non-other than schoolgirl. She walked confidently to the screen and said. "The answer is Coffee."

"Coffee?"

"How is it coffee?"

"~ George, Helen, and Steve are drinking Coffee, while... Bert, Karen, and Dave are drinking soda. Following the pattern, is Elizabeth drinking Coffee or Soda?~"

"I think she is right"

The two last lasers pointed at her, moment next, the lasers drove back inside the ceiling and AI's voice sounded.

< Congratulation player schoolgirl, you have answered the riddle.>

< Congratulation for successfully answering the riddles.>

< Timer: 0:15:38.>

< Players can now move to the next stage.>

"Phew... that was close" schoolgirl sighed in relief.

"How did you know coffee is the answer" the blue hair man asked.

Schoolgirl wasn't like Supreme who always keep to himself. (AKA: author). So she told everyone how she got the answer.

"As you guys see, these three names drinking coffee has two E's, while those with one E drink soda. And Elizabeth has two E's, so Elizabeth drink coffee instead of Soda. It's that easy, RIGHT?"

All the other players nodded thoughtfully, after hearing her explanation. While Supreme had already fallen asleep the moment she started.

With a mechanical sound, the tightly shut door, finally opened. The players looked around the library and then the headless body. After some hesitation, they all followed schoolgirl through the door.

"Auhhh..."

Supreme yawned as he stood up, "it looked like we cleared this stage, time to move to the next stage." He walked towards the door and stopped, staring at the headless body.

"Sorry bro, but seriously, be wise in your next life. You saw something like that, you should pass it to someone else. Because of rewards you rushed to your death. Ah, bye." He said walking towards the door.

The 19 players appeared in a large ancient courtyard, around the courtyard were different doors which looks like rooms. A large breathtaking garden stood calmly at the center of the courtyard, the clear blue sky and cooling breeze, cool and smooth the skins of the players.

"Wow, from heaven to hell" Supreme muttered, his hands tucked in his pants pocket, as he moved his gaze around the courtyard. "Wait... is that the right way to say it?"

The courtyard was both beautiful, and elegant. The wall were painted in gold, and the ground was designed with rubies, and gemstones, even though it looked ancient, it still preserved it beauty, especially the garden.

AI's Voice finally sounded.

< welcome players, to the first resting stage.>

< Resting stage provides the players some solitude, to think or do whatever...>

< You get what I mean.>

< Note: when players step inside the resting room, that player won't be able to leave, not until the resting time is done.>

< Note: If they are imposters in the group, they are allowed to move around.>

< Note: imposters can enter any player's room, that player need to defend him/ herself, or else the imposters will kill the player. Remember~ imposters are armed with a dagger.>

< Good luck, and have a wonderful time.>

< You all have 5 minutes to enter your rooms, each room has the player's name on it.>

'This will be an opportunity to capture the imposters.' Supreme thought inwardly. "Ok everyone, I am going to my room, I will help in the next game!." He yelled loudly, walking towards a room with the word "Supreme" on the door.

'I hope they took the bait' He thought entering the room.

The other players looked at each other in confusion. No one knew why Supreme was yelling that he was going to his room, but they were happy he will help in the next game.

"Ok everyone, we have five minutes to enjoy the view. You can either go inside your room or stay in the garden for a while. But... I suggest we stay in our rooms." Schoolgirl announced, walking towards a door with her name on it.

Some players followed her action, while some started moving around the place.

"Are they really imposters among us?"

"I don't know, but I will say you should stay alert." The player whose wife was waiting for him said. While those around him nodded.

"So... this is the room, not too big nor too small. I can do with this."

The room he was currently in looked ancient, just like the courtyard, it was only seven meters long and five meters large, with a small bed and a pillow, which could only occupy a person, one meter long ancient mirror hang on the right side of the room, And a two meters tall cupboard.

Supreme took a view around the room and collapsed on the bed afterward. "Let see what my cheat can do, system activate the pet and weapon cheat."

{Successfully activated.}

Supreme nodded and called "Reaper"

Dark flames rose in front of him burning fiercely, but surprisingly, he felt cold all over. Reaper calmly walked out of the dark flames, its wings folded behind it as it moved inside the room. Reaper stopped and moved its glowing red eyes around, When it saw Supreme It gave an awkward bow.

"What are you doing? Please, stop that"

Reaper nodded and stood up straight. 'Why did my lord summoned me here?, it looked like I am in an ancient room.'

"Ok stop looking around, I called you here because we are going to have guest, and I know you will like what they will bring. So get ready."

Reaper just nodded. 'Guest? I hope they bring food, because I am hungry.'

Moment next AI's Voice sounded.

< All players are in their respective rooms.>

< Resting time: 0:29:59.>

< Good luck players.>

The next moment the door shut tight.

"It looks like it's time, stay alert, Reaper"

Reaper was still a little confused about all this, but still nodded.

He summoned his starlight sword and placed it on the bed, right beside him, waiting for the imposter who is dumb enough to attack him. Instead of the imposter, he got something shocking.

{Quest activated.}

{Complete Quest and gain a new permanent skill.}

{Failure to complete quest will lead to host death.}

{Quest is...}
