[VRMMO] Chaos Doctor

<<Welp.... Weeks went by.... And the preparations for the tournament continued.>>

<<A lot of people, factions, guilds and what not announced their participation.>>

<<Honestly speaking.... Too MANY announced their participation.>>

<<Heck... Apparently there was even some news from the developers that they will increase the size of the first stage, adding another copy of the map, all because there were too many people participating.... Wow... Just wow....>>

<<...But still...>>

<<IT WILL BE FUN!>>

<<By attacking those mountains, I’ve obtained more than enough stuff for my experiments and production.>>

<<I’ve produced weapons, equipment, monsters and what not for everybody and myself.>>

<<And I’ve also crafted myself somewhat decent new body.>>

<<But most importantly.>>

<<I leveled up.>>

<<Level, equipment, monsters and body... All check.>>

<<The preparations are ready to set that freaking tournament ablaze.>

<<This will be FUN!>>

[Welcome to the Unwritten Tale Online Second Tournament!]

The players began joining the event server as the rays of light descended down. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Huh.... So, this is the event area?" – asked an elven player.

"Yeah... It looks... Much tamer than before?" – said the orc players as the players started founding themselves into the forest merged with a city.

"...Honestly, I like this change." – said elf.

"What? Because you are tree hugging elf?" – asked mockingly orc.

"Oh, shut the fuck up." – said annoyed elf.

"I just like more nature-based environment, okay? It has nothing to do with me being an elf.... Well... I did picked elf because I like nature."

"Anyway.... Last time the server started getting filled up from the get go... And this it pretty much the repeat."

"Yeah... And the big shots are already showing up." – said the orc player as the duo saw countless players, eyeing several people who stood out amongst the rest.

"Rankers, high rankers... Even master rankers are already here.... Jezus... We only just gotten here and things are already getting chaotic."

"Anyway.... Big shots are here and there."

"I see already quiet few faces I recognize.... Magnus."

"Oh... This bastard.... Yeah... He was a nasty motherfucking."

(He just nuked our whole team during previous tournament.) – thought both orc and elf players as they remember a giant flood devouring the duo’s entire party.

"..."

"Say... I also see Mugen.... And some other master rankers...." – said orc player.

"Dude.... What the fuck?"

"Are you sure we should be here?"

"Well... We will definitely not get to the finals... But I want at least get to the semifinals... At least we will get some glory at least, won’t we?" – said the elf.

"..."

"I’m really doubting we two nobodies will survive for that long." – said orc player who already given up.

"..."

"So... What do you think?" – asked Maparapara as she was hanging on top of one of the massive tree branches, alongside Thanatos, who both were wearing a brand-new set of golden and blue color schemed armors and equipment.

"Well... This will be tough." – said Thanatos.

"Not only that, the ranking was changing non stop for sometime now, meaning that there is a lot of strong bastards out there."

"But then again, the ranking system represents the ’presence’ and ’might’."

"If somebody was strong but didn’t do much, their ranking would be low.... There is also the surge of non-registered rankers on the loose."

"Oh yeah, I’ve heard about." – said the slime girl.

"Apparently one of the master ranker guilds were annihilated in some faction war by some no name guild that wasn’t known before."

"Probably there won’t be some large conflicts going on from the start, since it will be all about culling out the weakest bastards."

"Then again, I wouldn’t be surprised if some stronger bastards encounter each other early and decide taking down their opponents in early competition."

"So, even master rankers may possible end up getting disqualified from the get go."

"..."

"By the way, aren’t you.... Well.... Pissed off?" – asked Maparapra.

"?"

"About that?" – asked Thanatos.

"No... I mean the whole nickname reveal thing." – said Maparapara.

"In the previous tournament, you could hide your nickname... But this time they took away this option? Why though?"

"...Well... Maybe for the impact?" – said Thanatos.

"Either way, this is really annoying.... But then again, I don’t think there is much of a reason to hide my identity anymore."

"I mean, I was staying hidden all this time in order to have easier time moving around while doing sneaky stuff... But considering how things are going these days... Everybody knows my name."

"I’m annoyingly beyond famous..."

"Either way, that bastard did made me some equipment that would compensate for having my identity exposed."

"So I should be somewhat fine, even with having my nickname being exposed... But still, I will continue wearing this mask and voice changer."

"Speaking of that bastard, where is he?"

"Oh... He apparently said that he went for a .... Walk..." – said Thanatos.

"..."

"Is he-"

"He is probably is." – said Thanatos before slime girl could even ask her question.

"..."

*Sigh*

(What is he doing?) – thought both worried girls.

"...Shit... Is that him?" – whispered a player.

"He looks different...I guess he is aiming to show off?" – whispered a jealous player.

"Keep it down! I don’t want to deal with this madman because you said shit behind his back." – whispered the scared player.

"..."

(Hm.... A lot... Huh?) – thought Phantasia as he walked right through the middle of the road, showing off his brand-new appearance that combined a gentlemen coat alongside heavy armor... However, the man’s appearance was already much different compare to the before.

Not only he was noticeable larger, at least over 2 meters tall and once again he had his head replaced with his iconic monster plague doctor mask, which looked metallic in appearance.

(Some are scared, some are jealous, some are angry and some are just eager to fight me.)

(Pretty much the usual.)

(But they are just cowards.... A lot of them.)

(Or they are just nobodies who think of themselves as big shots... Or as some sort of ’protagonists’.... Honestly speaking, during that freaking war in the holy empire, there was just WAY TOO FUCKING MANY of those protagonists wanabes... Is it some sort of epidemic at this point?)

(I mean, I’m playing as a villain and I’m not freaking pretending to be one, I’m one... But those bastards?)

(Yeah... It is quiet annoying at this point...)

"..."

(By the way, is there nobody here going to pick a fight with me? I’m just waiting to start something off.) – thought Phantasia as he stopped in place and started looking around.

"!"

(Ah... There.) – thought Phantasia as he saw a commotion happening nearby, causing the mad man to get curios and start approaching the gathered group of players.

"You have fucking balls, I will tell you that, you fucking shitty son of a bitch." – said pissed off goblin player.

[Doremi – Master Ranker]

"Oh? Whatever are you talking about?" – asked the man in white and blue color schemed suit.

[Diamond – Master Ranker]

"DON’T YOU FUCKING PRETEND LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW!" – shouted Doremi.

"YOU SHITTY FUCKING THIEF!"

"A thief you say?" – said Diamond mocking.

"It was competition."

"And you have lost."

"You can only blame yourself for this."

(Although I say, I’m still nervous about fighting her.) – thought Diamond.

(I may had obtained new class and race, but I still didn’t had enough time to level it up enough....)

(And I’m not dumb enough to not realize that she has a solid count against mages like me... I really and I mean REALLY don’t want to fight her....)

(But she is beyond pissed off.)

(I mean, I not only stolen the rewards right underneath her nose, but she didn’t also gotten a chance to kill me... Once the whole temple was cleared, it stared the collapse on everybody and both me as well as Barge got free teleport to the surface.... Although, there were quiet few players waiting to ambush us outside, thinking that we had gotten some items.)

(But although I say that... They are still looking at us, even though they have no chance at obtaining items.) – thought Diamond as he noticed countless gazes of the people around, all staring at him.

(They know I’ve obtained something from the ruins.... And they want to know what.... Shit.)

(I may have some annoying competition.)

"..."

"Look. I have nothing against you Doremi, but-"

"Oh, no, no, no, no, NO!" – said annoyed goblin girl, interrupting Diamond.

"You don’t get to walk away from me, you cowardly thief!"

"After what you did, do you really think I won’t make out of my way to make your living hell in this tournament?"

"A living hell you say?" – said the voice from the crowd as some of the players nervously walked away, allowing the masked man to walk closer.

"Interesting.... Might you tell me what are you talking about?" – asked Phantasia.

"..."

(Oh great... Now this bastard.) – thought both nervous Diamond and Doremi.

(What does HE want from us?)
