[Warning! Warning!]
"What's this notification?"
[A high-level monster has breached through the system! Warning! Do not proceed further!]
"What? And why is the system giving me a warning about something like this? If anything, this all should be planned by those petty gods!"
It took a few seconds for the portal to take Zach to the 75th floor, and when he reached there, he instantly dashed forward, only to see a bizarre scene he wished he had never seen. And that scene was going to haunt his nightmares for eternity.
The Overlord was standing in front of Zach, right outside the portal, as though he knew Zach would arrive there.
"Welcome, Zach… or should I say… son of Deus, Zagreus Astaroth?" the Overlord scoffed out loud arrogantly.
Zach ignored the Overlord and looked past his shoulder to see the severed body pieces of Shay and Natasha.
"I was planning to give them a painless death, but they tried to fight back. I thought they would be able to defend themselves, but they were just a bunch of weaknesses pretending to be strong," the Overlord scoffed. "But don't worry, I don't think it hurt them. I was very swift when I chopped them into small pieces, and all that happened in less than a second.
You know, I have always been curious about how the players died in the game and in the real world. If they die in the real world due to some unknown circumstances, they will die here too, but how would they die?
Would they simply disappear into nothing, or their body-slash-soul corpse remains in the game?
If they die in the game, they will die in the real world, but how would that happen? Would they just… die? Like poof, and they are gone. Or would they die the same way as they did in the game?
I wish I could confirm this, but I guess I will never get a chance again. Aren't you curious too, Zach?
Hmm? Wait, why do you look so angry and sad and disappointed? Shouldn't you be happy that I killed them? Wait a minute, what date is it? Was I early this time?"
He opened his menu and said, "Oh, Yeah, I am one month early, actually. But that's actually better since nothing will happen now. Anyway, I got to go. See you—"
Zach punched the Overlord in the face so hard that his helmet cracked. Overlord was sent flying to the other side of the floor while Zach stood lifeless in the middle of the floor.
Overlord stood up the next second and scratched his helmet in confusion.
"I don't understand. Why would you do that?"
"I will fucking kill you!"
"Oh… I see. So you are the ignorant one," he sighed
The Overlord moved his hand at Zach and said, "Still, I can't have you die here, nor can I kill you. I can beat the shit out of you and leave your near death's door where it would take you months to recover. However, I will give you a chance to turn around and return to your girls."
Zach conjured a gun in his hand and fired several shots at the Overlord, but instead of hitting him, the Overlord absorbed all the magic attacks.
"Oh, come on! I even gave you a second chance. Why are you so thick-headed? But if you want to fight me that badly, then sure. Be my guest," he shrugged.
Zach's human form was slowly changing into his demon form as his emotions were raging inside him.
He conjured a machine gun and fired continuously at the Overlord, but nothing happened to him.
Suddenly, Cerberus jumped out of Zach's shadow and dashed at the Overlord.
"Seriously? That was your plan? Did you think it would work? I could feel the murderous glare from him, even from the shadows."
The Overlord conjured a golden-black colored rod in his hand and threw it at Cerberus. It was so fast that Cerberus couldn't even see it coming, and it hit him. However, the Overlord didn't stop there.
He threw a dozen more golden-black rods and trapped Cerberus in the shadow to prevent him from coming out. Then, he looked at Zach and said, "Be careful there, you might not want to let your demon side take over you. I don't have any more curse-dispelling elixir to shoot at you. And in case you didn't get it, yes, it was me who threw that spear at you on the day of the summit."
"Why did you kill them?!"
"What do you mean? Is that even a question? I killed them to help you, what else? I have been taking care of the bad guys, so you don't have to go through the same suffering as I did. Why do you think everything has been so easy for you so far?
This is a death game, not a harem simulator, to make yourself a harem and have fun with them. Did you seriously think you were just so lucky and everything fell on your lap? Or were you perhaps in a misconception that you had worked hard to earn everything you currently have?
Well, you might have, but be grateful that you didn't have to go through the same thing I and many others did. I just wanted to help you, but it's not the help you are thinking of.
I am doing this for myself, and I don't care what happens to you. Even if your friends or lovers die, it's none of my concern. I will still continue doing what I have been doing all this time, whether you like it or not.
However, take this as a last warning. If you interfere in my work, I will mess up your life. You do what you must do, and I will do what I must do."
The only thing in Zach's mind was rage. His best friend was killed by a psycho player killer, and he was talking about how he did the right thing. Of course, Zach was planning to let the Overlord continue his boring speech and just stand there, doing nothing.
After all, he wasn't the type of guy to make rational decisions, especially in critical times when he shouldn't be reckless, but he always was.
