Log Horizon: Alien Chronicles Volume 1

Ch.2

"Are you sure you can afford all this?" A somewhat plumped man asked, standing behind a booth.

Seriously? Las Boss gritted his teeth, annoyed at the shopkeeper before him. It's been like this with each shop Shiroe, Naotsugu, and he had entered. All because of one issue.

"Yes, my friend can." Shiroe spoke up, snapping Las Boss from his fury.

"Then why is your friend not speaking?" The shopkeeper asked, a skeptic look on his face. His eyes aimed right at the notepad in Las Boss's hand. “It’s always the silent ones who steal.”

"He can't speak, but that does not mean he has no money." Las Boss smirked at the shopkeepers shock when he poured a hand full of gold coins onto the booth counter. "We are able bodied Adventurers, after all."

Of course. We can easily rob and kill you with being level ninety as well. Las Boss thought. His two friends and himself at least confirmed so far the world they were in was either related or the very game Elder Tales.

The three were stuck within their avatars, but the different bodies paid off with having all their attacks and spells of their level ninety characters. Robbing a place would be easy for the three, though all three were against it. There was no point in stealing when you had plenty of money and supplies you needed already.

"I can tell." The shopkeeper took the money, still wary of the three. "But, do you know why all the other Adventurers are acting odd today? I had a few come at me shouting for me to get some kind of GM thing. You all never acted like this before." The shopkeeper glanced at the other Adventurers. Some of which still in a panic or collapsed completely into depression due to the fear and stress.

-Something has changed. They are shocked by it, hence the odd things you beem seeing.- The shopkeeper frowned at what Las Boss wrote and showed him. -But, I recommend you keep stock of your wares. The next few hours will get hectic.-

"You're an Adventurer, not a shop owner. However, thank you for your purchases." Las Boss rolled his eyes, but stuff the items he bought into his Magic Bag. It still worked in storing much more than it appeared, just like when Elder Tales was a game.

"Las, why have you been on a buying spree since we left the building?" Naotsugu asked, all three of them leaving the market place with their purchases in their Magic Bags, “Planning to hold a real festival?” All three of them kept their eyes opened to their surroundings.

There were still players still panicking at their situation. Yet, now, it had quiet down. Many had formed grouped, talking in hushed tones. Some just stood there, waiting for someone to come and help with a helpless look in their eyes that Las Boss seen before. The shit game he was playing before had claimed many innocent gamers over and over again in the orphanage he went to.

But, then again, some people were deal a good hand in that shit game. That is, till it turned on them, Las Boss thought before focusing back on the knight. -You already forgot our conversation before, underwear knight.-

"Of course not! You two still have yet to announce your love of panties!" Shiroe and Las Boss moved away from Naotsugu. "Why are you closet perverts moving away?"

"We simply gotten supplies before the rush happens." Shiroe said, ignoring Naotsugu's question. He adjusted his glasses, looking over the other players. Las Boss noticed the wary eyes on them. "This world has no laws outside possibly not fighting in the player cities. People will realize this soon and try to create their own order out of the chaos that could spark any moment. It will be a mess."

"Scary. So, what are your plans, Beady Eyes, NEET?" Naotsugu sighed, "Is this reason we made a party? Part of the plan?" Naotsugu and Shiroe looked at Las Boss when he snapped his fingers.
