The Player's System

Blast

Faunas were the big creatures. Each fauna hoarded group of wild creatures. There were only three big faunas in the Oak park. They were at the three different places. The last fauna had been protecting the card.

The faunas were the first creatures to find the gem card. It was middle in the night back then. The gem card emitted few lights and they took it thinking the entity that was protecting the Oak Park.

From then on the Faunas decided to protect this gem card in order to keep the Oak park stable and alive.

Now that the teams entered in the Oak park, it was bound to create chaos. Third team heard the blast. Jake got alarmed. It was at the left side and the distance did not seem much.

The liquid fog from the area vanished because the Oak trees got blasted. The opponent team happened to see third team. They got excited thinking that their plan worked.

Team head sighed. It was earlier than they expected. However there was no way to let the opponent walk on their heads. The opponent team let the other things aside and ran toward the third team.

"Such a thing. I think they only joined to battle with us." Junan waved his sword. Jake twitched. The opponent team was not the real problem. The Oak park faced this blast and now the faunas might appear. It was true. The fauna of this region woke from the slumber because the blast happened near its den.

The opponent team ran toward third team with their weapons. It seemed more like war progression rather than level battle. "None of them should survive." The opponent team leader yelled at his men.

They rushed toward third team. All of the team members were ready to welcome these enemies. Junan took lead while Orin and Clark leapt like they had been waiting for the real battle. Albert stayed with the others in case the opponents wanted to suddenly blast again. The shield could secure from the blast.

Jake stood under the shield and fired toward the enemies. For using gun he could not open his single shield. Sashi took aim and shot arrows. The shield man of the enemy team was trying to secure however two of the opponents got injured with the arrows and the bullets.

(The spectators saw the scenario. They started gossiping about the type of the opponent team and why they simply attacked at the third team.

They wanted to know why the second team was enthusiastic to battle with the third team instead of working on the level completion. Well they did not mind if the teams were playing duel during the third level. They could expect the frustration of the new joiner teams. Also they noticed how the third team was ready to tackle this sudden attack.)

The first fauna gathered its group to see who was creating ruckus in the Oak park. Bald creatures with the iron poles gathered around the fauna. There was difference in the moves of the new joiners and the third team. Third team had been going through various tasks and collecting hp.

Not just hp but the special golden hp which was added in the health bar.

They were more flexible with the moves and the attacks. It distanced the battle sense of the opponent from the third team. Naturally new joiners were at loss ends.

Soon half of them were ready to retreat because their hp dropped at the red indication.

Jake was firing when he got the notification.

[Warning: Retreat if you want the team avoid the damage. The first fauna is reaching any time soon.]

[Do not battle with fauna. It is not about win or loss. The fauna is powerful to kill the teams.]

[If you want to defeat fauna, do think some logical stuff when you are free from danger, for now retreat.]

Jake looked at the team head. He was ready to chase the injured enemy. "Something dangerous is coming toward us." Jake shouted so that Albert could hear him. Albert could make the team head leave the area. They were not going to inform the enemies.

Jake did not care for them. The enemies should face the rage of fauna. Albert voiced then gestured the team head. His gesture was enough for Junan to leave the idea of chase.

Junan stepped and gestured Clark. The enemies were in poor condition. They were shocked when Junan did not further rag the battle instead he was leaving the area in hurry.

Before they could rejoice or comprehend the situation, fauna and its groups appeared. They saw the second team. The second team was not in condition to battle with the real danger of the Oak park.

The creatures under the orders of Fauna attacked at them and killed one by one ruthlessly. (It was one of the hopeless battle that the spectators ever witnessed. The pitied the condition of the second team however they were glad that they got killed.

In their eyes if the teams solely joined game portal to attack on the other teams then they should be killed or else the spectators would start shouting at the guild whoever selected such players. It was waste of the portal level. It greatly influenced the remaining reputation of the selected members. They were banned from the future gaming career as soon as they returned. This action could only save the face of the company that sent them. It was another slap for the CEO of the company.)

The team members were dying with the shame. They could not justify their action in the social media.

The third level of the portal was going on and there were only two teams left. Junan heard the screams of the dying players. He understood that their team survived this sudden ordeal.

He did not ask however he was sure that Jake must have known about it.

"I knew this Oak park had some hidden dangers or else there is no explanation for the apparent peace." There was widely known proverb, \'Only danger could protect the peace\'
