(FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!) – the high elf female player was running through the woods, before then quickly hiding a tree as a bunch of shadowy figures ran by.

The high elf covered her mouth with her hands, trying to stay as quiet as possible as the shadowy figures started leaving the area.

"..."

(Fuck... I think I’m-)

"..."

"Found.... You!" – said the cheerful voice as the high elf player face was instantly filled with dread.

The elven player deployed a barrier to defend herself as the tree behind was straight up shattered into oblivion.

The elven barrier clashed with claws, which it barely blocked.... Or more exactly, weaken. As the barrier of wind was shattered and the elf in question was sent flying.

"Oh? You survived that?" – asked Phantasia as he walked past the shattered tree.

"You must be a ranker then.... Although, probably some nobody."

"FUCK! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT?!" – shouted the elf player as she instantly summoned two wind spirits to her side... Which were then instantly blown up by an acid and necromancy magic, killing both creatures the moment they made their debut.

"..."

(Eh?) – thought panicking elf.

(Did... Did he just one shoted both of my spirits?!)

The elf tried using [Sudden Escape], but before she could, Phantasia already used [Necromancy: Death Grasp], creating several skeleton arms which held the woman’s leg in place, trapping her as the mad man slowly approached her.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?! I BARELY HAVE ANY POINTS?!" – shouted the desperate elf.

"I don’t care." – said Phantasia as he kicked the woman’s hand, as she tired in secret casting a spell.

"I’m just experimenting a bit here."

"And that is just it." – said Phantasia as he ripped off the female elven player head, before then just throwing it away.

(And so far? The fun is just keep on going on!)

"..."

Phantasia’s main goal wasn’t hunting monsters.... No.

He only hunted players.

His plague was spreading throughout the entire map, infecting monsters, plants or even players, straight up causing a wide spread epidemic to occur.

Even if you managed to heal yourself once, if the infected monster were to just ram into to you, the infection would start again.

It was a straight up nightmare for the players.

Not only that, but they also had to deal with the horde of monsters that Phantasia released himself.

These monsters were on their own already bad news.

They were by no means weak and hunting them straight up gave you no rewards.

If anything, if you were to start hunting them.... Phantasia would come and just eliminate you.

The whole "hunting" phase was straight up corrupted by that mad man.

It was no longer about just "hunting".

It was about straight up survival.

Phantasia straight up turned the whole map into the Slasher survival game, where he is the killer, and all the other players need to hide and complete their objectives.

"..."

"You know.... I was quiet worried about the whole thing." – said W.W as she watched the pure chaos that was currently happening on the map.

"But this is turning quiet entertaining?"

["You freaking sounds like those pshychos in the movies that put people into some sort of traps where the monsters are chasing them."] – said the voice that came out from the floating screen.

["Which is... Pretty much the current situation."]

["But anyway, that bastard is real pshycho king here for sure... Just look at the freaking map!"]

["He maybe the one with most points right now, but he isn’t actively hunting monsters... If anything, he is straight up blocking access to the hunting grounds right now!"]

["This is.... Wow...."]

["?"]

["Hey. Somebody is shooting up the rankings right now."]

["I guess somebody is trying to play it smart here."]

(NOPE! FUCKING NOPE!) – thought Doremi.

"H-HEY! FUCKNIG STOP IT! WE SHOULD-"

"Shut up!" – shouted Doremi as she swung her massive scythe, eliminating the desperate player.

[Points: 139]

(I’m not freaking screwing around here!) – thought Doremi as she was going on the total rampage, slaughtering any and all players she encountered, alongside the infected monsters.

(I can somewhat protect myself against infection, thanks to me staying inside of my mech.)

(But that doesn’t mean I’m free from THAT bastard!)

(The infection is spreading everywhere and the presence of his monsters is starting to get more noticeable in many locations.)

(The best way to freaking win now is to go berserk!)

(I know I may end up picking a fight with a lot of people, but fuck it!)

(I ain’t playing the freaking horror game here!) – thought Doremi as she continues her total rampage, slaughtering anything near here by any means, even using some of her utlimates.

[Points: 201]

"..."

(Fuck... Did I already hunted everything in area?!)

(Do I wait until they respawn!?)

(NO!)

(The longer I wait, the higher the chances of me encountering that bastards are!)

(I need to continue moving, before-)

As Doremi was about to start moving, her radar inside of her mech suddenly detected something.... Something was coming towards her from her rear.

The goblin nervous looked at her radar and saw something approaching at the alarming rate her location.

"Tch!"

Without hesitation, the goblin opened fire with her magic crossbow and rifles, trying to kill whatever was heading towards her.

"..."

However, the dot on the radar did not stopped moving... If anything, as it gotten closer, Doremi saw the source of the signal.

"Shit." – said the panicking goblin as she saw Phantasia emerging in front of her.

(What is he doing here?!) – thought Doremi.

(I’ve moved to the other side of the map in order to not encounter him!)

(Even if I started going on the rampage, there is no way he could had-)

"..."

"He faked it." – said Doremi as she instantly realized what was going on.

The infested zone which the players were getting hunted down in? Phantasia left it.

(He wanted the people avoid that place, in order to us gather up in other spot and be much easier found out?!) – thought Doremi.

"..."

"Hm.... Nah." – said Phantasia as he just turned around.

"!?"

"H-HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" – shouted Doremi. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Aren’t you going to fight me?!"

"HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?! HEY!" – shouted Doremi over and over... But Phantasia just ignored her without saying anything or stopping.

"..."

(What the fuck just happened?!) – thought extremely confused Doremi.

(He freaking found me, but instead of just attacking me, he just left me?!)

"..."

(Is it because I didn’t picked a fight with Hunter?)

(Is that it?)

"..."

(Fuck me.... I guess this freaking saved my ass.)

(...But still... What the hell is going on?)

(Hell... What is he planning?!)

"..."

(Hm.... Honestly, I should had killed her.) – thought Phantasia as he walked through the melting forest.

(I mean, she is master ranker.... Then again, it would make us bit even regarding the whole first round situation.)

(...)

(Then again... Maybe I could use her later on as my own pawn?)

(Oh well, things will end up interesting.)

(But for now, the current situation.)

(Honestly, I wanted to eliminate as many rankers as possible and have the weaklings only advance to the next round.... But fuck me... These weaklings are beyond "weak".)

(Not only they are unable to survive encounter with my plague or monsters, but they are also straight up running at me.)

(Why the hell am I stuck with a brain-dead bunch of idiots like them?)

(...)

(Then again, my main objective has already been complicated.)

"Okay. You can hunt them down now." – said Phantasia as his monsters instantly began slaughtering weaken and infected monsters, who couldn’t put up the fight.

[You have obtained 300 points.]

[You have reached the quota.]

[You qualified to the next round.]

[You will be teleported to the next stage.]

"Well then... Let’s see what sort of mess will happened now." – said Phantasia as he was teleported out of the map, fallowed up with all of his monsters and plague mist being completely eliminated.

"FUCK! HELP ME! HELP ME!" – shouted the infested player.

"STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM US!" – shouted the orc player.

[The first player has reached the quota.]

[First spot has been taken.]

[Duo to the player behind the negative effect leaving the map, all of their effects have been removed.]

"?"

"H-uh?" – the players stared confused as the infected player started being restored to his original state.

"...I’m.... I’m no longer melting?" – said the human player.

"Wait.... Hah.... HAHAHA!"

"THAT BASTARD IS-"

As the human player tried cheering himself up, the orc player threw a spear at the human player, killing him on the spot.

"..."

"GET HIM!" – in the exact moment Phantasia and his ’chaos’ disappeared, the players instantly turned on each other, causing a massive battle to occur everywhere.

"..."

"Okay.... Do you have any fucking idea what is going on?" – asked W.W.

["I have non.... I think he just made his monsters finish off already dying off hunting targets... and just qualified?"]

"But didn’t he turned the whole thing into slasher movie thing?!"

["Em... Maybe he got bored?"]

"Bored?! He got fucking bored after doing THAT?!"

"..."

"Jezus fucking Christ...."

"What the hell is that bastard problem?"

(He first infected the entire map with plague, while also unleashing a horde of monsters.)

(He murdered players nonstop, over and over again, with some getting spawn killed as soon as possible.... Straight up turning the whole map into the horror map... Before then just getting bored?!) – thought extremely confused W.W.

(...Are we sure we are fine with that guy being on the loose?)
