Prison Fight

Chapter 14: Prison Fight

Reylin finally logged into the game.

He appeared in prison, and that was not some welcoming sight!

The prison was cold, with blue walls visually describing how cold it was. His prison had only a bed, and Reylin would need to ask the guard to take him to the bathroom if need be. No sunlight permeated inside as it was an underground prison.

Reylin sat on the cold bed, his eyes on the torch, which was a source of his relief.

[You have been cuffed by Mana Sealing handcuffs.]

[Your mana flow has been stopped, and you can not exert any mana!]

Through the prison bars, Reylin saw another player in the opposite cage. That man was in beginner clothes, so he was definitely a player.

It was questionable because the prison hid his nickname.

Players could hide their nicknames too, but other than that, Reylin also couldn't see the man's face correctly.

He inferred the Blue Rose had done something to those prisoners to keep privacy and that it would play a significant role soon.

For now, Reylin looked around the prison and found no gap, "One month." That was too much time, and he would be too behind should it happen.

Since no idea popped out in Reylin's mind, he returned to his seat and hovered his eyes on the torch.

One year ago, he had called out the beta tester as an imbecile. That man used flames through the staff and performed various techniques, but he was genuinely scared of the fire.

Reylin was different, and he treated the flames like a good partner.

He used his own body, and he would become flames to slip through the prison bars!

"That sounds like a good idea..." He whispered with a smirk on his face.

Some time passed in deadly silence.

In prison, nothing interesting could have happened at all. Players either spent time here trying to reach the guards and convince them to let them go, or they just logged in from time to time to see the situation.

As far as Reylin was concerned, he remained silent with a stoic face, and just enjoyed the silence, as even that was rare in his world.

He used this time to think about the future. Still, as someone who didn't have much experience about 'the variety' he spoke about with his butler, Reylin decided to be just an honest fellow.

What did it mean?

So far, it meant that Reylin would shock Yvonne a little on their next talk.

[The Monk Butler wants to add you to the friend list.]

[You have accepted the request.]

[The Monk Butler: Young Master! I have left Hania after teaching her a little, and I am on my way to the royal family! I will use my experience as Crown's Butler and become closer with their royalty!]

[Rey Flames Lin: How did your tutorial go?]

[The Monk Butler: I just killed some dirty slimes! It went smoothly. Oh, I learned that there's polygamy, young master! Are you planning to start a harem here?}

[Rey Flames Lin: Since this is a game, I might as well enjoy my new variety to the fullest. What about you? A monk?]

Sebastian swore to learn how to control his expressions and body!

In real life, he often sweated due to his young master, and his lips always quivered, which often exposed his emotions. That was just how crazy Reylin was, and no one could blame him.

Even Reylin didn't say anything and just cheered him on.

The talk ended after the guard knocked on Reylin's prison bars.

Reylin raised his upper body, and he found two guards and one woman whose face was hidden by a hoodie. Her curves exposed her gender, and as she stood behind the guards, her identity was also higher.

"Come out if you want to get freedom."

"I am more than glad to play along," Reylin chuckled and left the prison.

After he stepped out of it, the guard put a black balaclava on his face. A few other players had received the same treatment, and all of them followed the guards and the unknown women.

Many torches lit up the underground prison, so Reylin remained calm and sensitive.

At last, the group of the chosen prisoners entered the underground arena.

This arena was hastily made, and it was nothing more but a drawn circle on the ground. Flames howled and billowed around the circle with just a minute walk toward the circle's insides.

Reylin was getting excited, and he glanced at the unknown woman.

Her lips parted, "We are Black Rose Squad. For the outsiders, we are known as the Blue Rose Royal Family's shadow. and our job is the infiltration, execution, and information gathering."

Ding!

[Epic Quest! - Join the Black Rose Squad.]

"We deal with the dirty job, and all of you gathered here had already done some dirty work in our world. You either killed other players or our world's people, or just both. That's why you were chosen to become the royalty's knives." The woman cut a lot of information and boiled it down to the essential information.

Everything else was written in the quest log!

Many had wondered whether this quest appeared on its own or through this woman.

It mattered not, as no one would give up on the epic quest.

And, that kind of secretive job filled the hearts of every player with excitement.

"Out of the fifteen gathered here, just three will become one of us. The rest will return to the prison."

"Since you said outsiders deem you as the shadow, you must be a pretty known group, am I right?" Reylin said first, and he stepped forth from the row as well.

He strutted toward the circle with everyone's eyes on him.

The woman replied, "Common people aren't aware of us. Just the royalties and people with influence."

"Well. After this day, a lot of players will be aware of you. I am not sure whether this is the first epic quest, but someone from here will write a great essay. If you are fine with many players knowing about you, then let's begin some fighting. I am eager to kill all of you." Reylin spread his arms as if the whole arena had become his domain.

Many players snickered beneath their balaclavas and stepped in, ready to kill and leverage the situation.

As for the unknown woman, within that hoodie, her eyes glittered, and some countermeasure already popped in her mind.

"How about we take down the most talkative one?" One of the prisoners said.

"Yeah! Let's throw him into the flames!"

"Hehe! That will be fun."

Reylin snickered behind his mask, 'Oh, how fun it will be.'
