Last Shelter Online

Hiro’s return was warmly welcomed by the bloodline demon NPCs. Milly, the succubus, had also stood near Hiro again.

Until suddenly a transparent screen appeared in front of him.

Ding!

[Welcome!]

Hiro glanced at Liberty and Cara. Both of the girls also got the same notification screen in front of them.

Liberty immediately ran over to Hiro again and peeked at what was on the screen. It was the same. There was only one word.

[Welcome!]

“What happened, Hiro?” The girl was sure that something must have happened again.

“I don’t know.”

They could only wait for the writing to change with new information while holding their breath in anticipation.

[Do you miss me? -GM]

[Well, let me talk to you directly]

At that moment, the ears of Hiro and all the players who were still alive and trapped in that world suddenly buzzed at the same time.

“Argh!”

They reflexively held their ears together as the uncomfortable buzz could be heard. The next second, the voice they remembered as a robot sounded again. It really could be heard right in their heads, as if the one who called himself as GM was actually speaking to them directly.

“I can’t wait until the weekend comes. Do you know? It’s so boring just watching you guys kill each other or get killed.”

Liberty and Cara looked at Hiro reflexively with questioning eyes. However, their mouths were locked tightly, and they focused on listening to what the GM said.

“What if I held a game?”

Ding!

The transparent screen displayed a different text again.

[Game of Challengers]

“Do you like the name of the game? I know, it sucks a little. I’m not good at using words when I’m on duty. My favorites are just the numbers 0 and 1.”

“Well, you will have 30 minutes before the draw begins. Just check the screen to see how you have to play. I am quite busy right now. Hoammm… sorry, I yawned. See you again! Ha ha ha ha.”

The GM’s laughter grew farther and farther away until it disappeared completely. Liberty looked very annoyed. She didn’t like the sound of the GM, even though she fainted the first time that person introduced himself to all the players in the world.

“Who’s that? Is there a GM who really doesn’t have an attitude like him?”

Cara stared at Liberty who just complained. She then glanced at Hiro with a look that seemed to mean, “Didn’t she see anything when this world was destroyed?” ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

“She fainted. I don’t know what happened, but she suddenly passed out before the game was stolen by the hackers,” Hiro explained. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

This time, Ace seemed to have just been slapped with something very hard in the face. He almost didn’t notice it before.

“Is it true? Did Liberty suddenly faint again?” Ace asked, trying to make sure his hypothesis wasn’t wrong.

Hiro nodded firmly. There was no slightest hesitation flash in his eyes.

“Did you faint too, NightFall?” Ace asked again, making Hiro feel slightly offended.

“Of course not.”

“Ah, shit – it means it wasn’t because of that,” Ace muttered, suddenly feeling disappointed. He scavenged the ground using Monica’s forelegs. It looked like he was used to being a cat now.

“What do you know?” Hiro asked curiously. He didn’t want to miss anything. All theories from different people would help him to figure out their current situation. And he really needed any kind of information now.

“No, I don’t know anything.”

Ding!

[Game of Challengers]

[Win the first place to get special access to challenge the demon king without getting the death penalty]

“Hmmm?”

The sentence that appeared on the transparent screen was very clear. It was the reward promised by the GM. Hiro raised an eyebrow, feeling interested in knowing more about it.

[special item: anti-death will be given to the player who can win the game. This item is very rare. Players can get it from anywhere in the Last Shelter Online: The Dark War]

[Anti-death item given from this game will be directly used when the winner is teleported to the boss room to challenge one of 10 demon kings and taste their power]

Hiro read the announcement carefully. In his mind, he was already curious about the type of the game event that would be launched soon. From the name alone, it was clear that the game was made to fight for the position of the first challenger of the demon king.

With easy access.

Besides, it was equipped with an anti-death item which seemed to show the main goal of the event. They wanted to show how strong the 10 demon kings that were still keeping a secret.

Currently, only WynterRain had his identity revealed as the king of the demon kings. He even got a new name, Lord WynterRain.

Based on what had been written in the game’s new manual book, Hiro and all the players had to try to defeat the 10 demon kings. So, they could be free from the game that had become a virtual prison for them.

Hiro clenched his fists tightly. If there was only one winner in that event game, he would have to be that person, no matter what.

Gaining experience to fight against the demon kings would give him an insight to find a strategy to defeat them all.

Hiro looked into Liberty’s eyes. The girl also looked back at him with slightly watery eyes. She was so real in front of him that Hiro repeatedly forgot that the girl was the first person who needed his help.

Ding!

[All interested players can register without any minimum requirements to join the game. But still, the GM will only guarantee the winner’s safety once when facing the demon king. The rest, it’s all at the player’s risk]

The GM said that he couldn’t put words together. However, Hiro knew that the GM was very cunning with his trap words. Although he was not sure if everyone realized it, Hiro knew the meaning of the last sentence uttered by the man. It indicated that there would be many deaths that couldn’t be saved during the game.

“You two don’t need to come. I will do it myself,” Hiro said to Cara and Liberty. Liberty nodded in agreement. She wasn’t really interested in the challenge games. However, Cara had opened her mouth to complain.

“This is an order, not a request.” Hiro exclaimed before the girl said anything.

Cara, who knew very well the meaning of Hiro’s serious expression, gave up. She just nodded slowly.

Ding!
