77 A Commotion by the Shore! (1/2)
The BoF was about to rise that made their travel easier than it was during the night. Monsters have somehow a fear in daylight and choose to lurk in dark places. Hence, they hid in caves, dungeons or abandoned places like villages and kingdoms.
In less than two-thirds of the time Pedro, Faunia, Mathew, and Talia traveled to pick up the others, they were able to reach the cliff that was memorable to Pedro. As if like a norm, Pedro stood in deep thought as he stares in the forest and the distant Naga Kingdom.
”A~Aron, Let's go!” Sabrina waved her hand to Pedro as everyone walked ahead to the path to the forest.
”Uhm!” Pedro glanced and nodded to Sabrina in response. He looked one last time to the view as he grasped his hands tightly.
'I'll build a Kingdom here!' Pedro was full of determination as he ran towards everyone with a smile.
Minutes later, they were just meters away from the shore where Pedro's 'boat' was docked. At the moment Mathew had a glance at the shore near where Pedro's boat was docked, he halted abruptly that confused everyone. (Not including Pedro, Faunia, and Sabrina)
”Stop!” Mathew wore a weary look as he held Talia's shoulder that stopped her from walking.
”Eh?” Talia was confused for a moment but when she saw a figure of a human from a distance she immediately understood what Mathew meant.
”Those flags... That outfit... People from the Naga Kingdom?” Pedro walked towards the group's front as he checks the crowd right beside the dock where his boat was located.
”Not only them...” Mathew pointed to the people with different outfits behind those from the Naga Kingdom.
”Players? Stick together!” Everyone followed Pedro's command and compressed together, Except Faunia and Pedro, as Pedro's knife rotated around the group and formed a circle line in mid-air.
'I can't let anyone knew about our true strength... Including Faunia...' Pedro frowned as he pulled up a black mask that covered half of his face. (It covered his mouth and a part of his nose. Like the ones used for medical purposes.)
'Faunia!' He talked to Faunia telepathically as he glanced to her and hands over a similar black mask.
'What, Human?'
'Wear this... Our Identity must remain hidden!'
'Why?'
'Stop asking, and just put it!'
'Ok! Ok!'
Faunia took the face mask with a frown as a scene where Pedro uses some kind of manipulation ability to control her plays in her mind. The mask covered half of her face that emphasized her unique green eyes and cute look.
...
In the distance, a huge volume of players watches behind the NPC from the Naga Kingdom.
”Look! This NPCs from that Kingdom were standing here since the 'Sun' rise!”
”I wonder who are they waiting for?”
”It must be someone from that ship!”
”Such a huge ship!”
”Developers did a great job in making this game feel like reality!”
”Yeah, so real that I died four times already!”
”D*mb*ss!”
”D*mb*ss!” +1
”D*mb*ss!” +2
”D*mb*ss!” +3
”D*mb*ss!” +4
...
”Hahaha!”
”Laugh all you want! If that Kingdom only allowed me to enter, I would have not died FOUR times!”
”Complete the beginner quests first, said the developers!”
