Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 288 [Bonus chapter] 287- Forbidden Players

After Zach and the girls reached the church and bid each other good night, someone shot a fire-arrow at Ninia, but fortunately, Zach managed to cut it down and stop it from hitting Ninia.

"Come out before I chop you into pieces!" Zach yelled furiously.

However, instead of surrendering, the attacker started firing more arrows at Zah and Ninia. But, the arrow wasn't as powerful as Zach thought.

Even if it had hit Ninia, she would have barely lost any HP.

'Why would someone try to attack like this if they are so weak?' he thought. 'Or maybe because they are weak, they are using such cowardly ways to attack?'

Zach couldn't care less about any of that. He rushed to the corner and swung his sword, but he stopped when he saw blood on the floor.

"...."

He lit a fire on his finger and saw a male teenager standing there with a bow and arrow in his hand. And there was an injured girl who looked around the same age as the boy.'

"Stay away! I will kill you!" the boy said.

Zach turned to Ninia and said, "Can you heal the girl while I deal with this boy?"Ninia nodded in response.

Zach grabbed the boy from his collar and dragged him out of the church.

"Stop! Let me go!" the boy yelled.

Zach threw the boy to the ground and asked, "What were you doing? And how did that girl get injured?"

"Shut up! That has nothing to do with you!" the boy yelled.

Zach swung his sword and barely missed the boy's head, but of course, he only did that to scare the boy.

"Next time, I won't miss it. So you better start speaking if you don't want to see your head rolling on the ground," he threatened the boy, although what he said didn't make sense.

"My friend and I were sleeping in the garden, but we were attacked by a player. My friend was able to save me in time, but she got injured. So we decided to head towards the church, and when the attacker realized it, he stopped chasing after us."

'An attacker? It's not surprising as this happens a lot in the real world too, but seriously..?' Zach was in utter disbelief.

"My friend was constantly bleeding, and her HP was going down rapidly. But we were worried as we were just a few steps away from the church," the boy uttered with tears in his eyes.

"...."

A few seconds later, the boy started crying and continued, "But when we got here, no one was there. I called out for the nun, but no one responded. My friend also passed out due to excessive blood loss, and I had no idea what to do."

Zach pondered for a while and asked, "And you assumed we were attackers, so you started shooting arrows?"

The boy nodded while wiping his tears.

'Ninia wasn't wearing her nun outfit, so he must have thought we were…'

"Why were you sleeping in the garden?" Zach asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.

"We… don't have enough money to rent a room in the inn…" the boy uttered in a low voice as though he was ashamed to say that.

"Why… do you not have money? Naturally, you should have enough money by now since you are in the first realm…" Zach raised his brow with an amused look on his face and asked, "Wait a minute. How old are you?"

"I am seventeen, and my friend is eighteen…" the boy replied while averting his gaze.

Zach raised his sword and said, "Don't lie!"

The boy gulped down and said, "I am 13, and my friend is… 14…"

"What in the actual fuck are you doing in this game?!"

The minimum legal age to play a VR game was fifteen, which also varied from country to country, and the VR games were limited too, as most of them were R-17. So a 13-year-old shouldn't even be near a VR game.

Even if Zach had never played a VR game before, he still knew the basic things, and VR games were also a daily debate in the news, so that was inevitable.

'13 year old?!' Zach exclaimed inwardly. 'He is just a kid. A kid!'

Zach was furious, not at the kids but at their irresponsible parents, who allowed them to play the game.

"How did you get your hands on a VR set and game?"

'Even if somehow they managed to get in the VR headset, they still shouldn't be able to play any game. The VR headsets use biometric authentication to log into the games. So if they did get access to the VR game, they would need a new account to play, and most of the games ask for real-life identity information. I also had to submit them to the counter when I entered the VR center.'

'Could it be that the gods even pulled the souls of the players who were only wearing the VR headset? That's just stupid and… and a dick move!'

Zach glared at the boy and asked, "Answer me. How did you get your hands on the game?"

"My… cousin had a VR set. And my friend's sister had one too. We both go to the same school, so we decided to play a game together since our exams had ended and the summer holidays had started. We didn't know anything about the games, so we did what we saw in the video on the internet. And then… we were here," the boy responded with a dejected look on his face.

Zach crouched down and moved his head to pat the boy, but he stopped midway and pulled his hand back.

"Don't worry, your friend is safe," he said in a calm voice.

"Really?!"

"Yes."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" the boy chirped with a smile on his face, but his smile soon vanished as he averted his gaze and muttered, "But I don't have money…"

"It's okay."

'While they might not have logged in to any game, I doubt they had money in their bank accounts or, better yet, whether they have linked it to the game or not.'
